WHEN the last issue of the fifteenth volume of the Weekly News leaves the press, it will mark the end of a most successful term for Berkeley High ' s weekly publication. The staff has worked constantly with one aim in mind, — to make the Weekly News a better paper. To begin with, the first page has been improved. Special attention has been given to uniformity in head-lines and a well-balanced page. The editorial page has been changed in a few respects. A new editorial head has been made and the editorials have been printed in two columns instead of one. The greatest improvement and change has been shown in the third page. This has been devoted entirely to personals and jokes, one whole column hav- ing been filled with humorous incidents of the week under the head, Day by Day . All activities in the school have been given regular write-ups in the paper and it has been made interesting for everyone. At the time of the School Bond Election, a four-column paper was put out for two issues, instead of the regular three-column paper. These were favor- ably received by our readers and it was hoped that the four-column paper might be continued; but the expense proved to be too great. The printing work has been done in our own shop under the management of Miss Clayes, and has always been handled promptly and efficiently. To sum up everything, the Weekly News has more than fulfilled the highest expectations this term, and we hope the staff has accomplished its end, — to make the Weekly News a better paper.

Appreciation V 3 our work draws to a close, we look back and see how much it has meant to us, and how much the help of our associates has added to the pleasure in the work. To those who have assisted in the work on this book, we are especially grateful. As always, Mrs. Weir has worked with all her heart and soul. She has constantly carried many of the responsibilities and much of the tiresome detail work. Miss Roberts ' help in connection with the photographic work has been inesti- mable. The engraver ' s copy would never have reached him on time but for her. Though busied with the innumerable tasks of a drawing teacher, Miss Marshall has spent much of her time helping Pod artists perfect their work. The business end of the Pod has been assisted greatly by Mr. Bartholomew. To our printers, Lederer, Street and Zeus; to our engraver, the National Engraving Company; and to our photographer, Mr. McCullaugh, we owe hearty thanks for constant co-operation with us. Then, too, the typists in the commercial department should receive recogni- tion of their work. And last, we express our appreciation of the interest shown by the school at large, without which we could have done little. OJaMloavi ffsicAo
