F U 5 I 3 59 5 I f N ULLA FODRIDA PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OE' THE BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL. JUNE ISZI 50 ff Qi f 'O?,'2 75 IN 30 Progress NLY a few years ago the high school of America was an institution for a selected few whose chief purpose was to prepare in the subjects necessary for entrance to college. Nearly all of its students studied English, Mathematics, History, Latin, and Physics, or Chemistry. Excellent work was done but in a very limited field. Gradually changes took place as people began to realize that high-school education should be organized not only for those preparing for the so-called learned professions but also for all children, no matter what their future occupation. Secondary education was estab- lished upon a new basis. It became merely the second step in the complete development of youth, and in order to function properly, it had to be enlarged in its' scope so as to meet the needs of all kinds of pupils. Our own Berkeley High School well illustrates this development. Twenty years ago, the high-school curriculum was limited to about half a dozen courses, chiefly literary. Changes came gradually through the addition of a commercial department, then 'manual training, then domestic science and artg then physical educationg and lastly, specialized vocational courses. With the extension of the variety of work has come increase in the number of students and a change in the student body personnel. We no longer limit our efforts to a special group but try to serve all the children who have reached a certain stage in their educational progress, the chief emphasis being placed upon a wise choice of the career which each is best fitted to follow. These steps' in our growth show the progress made in satisfying mental and physical needs. They are of little real value, however, unless they also indicate a development which is far more important to the individual and the nation, namely, that of personal character and civic responsibility. We may have all the new courses that can be taught, we may have the Hnest buildings and the most beautiful grounds, but it is only as we use these material assets to develop right conduct in civic and personal relations that we make real progress. Character counts above everything else. If this be our dominant idea, then we shall surely prosper. C. L. BIEDENBACH. X . Prmclpal ,................ Vice-Principal... Secretary ............

BIEDENBACH, Members of the Faculty, and Fellow students: It is with deepest and most conflicting emotions of joy and regret that I present to you the story of the Class of june, 1921. On that date a victorious career will be completed. The members of this class entered the school in August, 1918, and, though they now conduct themselves With a statuesque dignity, they were once like all mortal scrubs. At such recollec- tions, as' Cicero says, I could weep for tears. Suffice it to say that in time shyness and ignorance have been overcome. When the class first became Middlers they were warned to thirow on the brakes and save all energy for the home run of the Senior year. This advice was not treated carelessly. In this period, intelligence began to be stamped on the countenances of all. Brain cells grew, and, in fact, the extent of knowledge became so vast, that some members were forced to the use of eye-glasses to see it all. During the Middler year the class as a whole did not do things for the individual, but individually labored for the class to enjoy the reputation which is now so closely linked with its name. So it was with proud hearts that they were invited to grace the front seats in ,assemblies-the Senior trade-mark. To prove beyond doubt that they were not to be held by any' ancient rules or customs, the class proceeded to elect a girl president. This proved at the same time that not only boys but girls also can hold executive positions. As Freshmen, the members of the class viewed the Weekly News as a private enterprise, and of no value to them. Now they see it as an activity of the Student Body which many think a most important factor of school life. But further details are not necessary. The story of the largest class to graduate from B. H. S. is ended, and its members will soon begin to take their places in the great world of romance and achievement. Concerning their success I have no fear. In the future they will achieve what they have in the past by laboring earnestly under the banner of service withits sentiment, Each for all.', RECORDING ANGEL of the JUNE CLASS, 1921.

V g gi L THE CAST 'ZR Opera '4Martha N APRIL 16, Berkeley High presented the Opera Martha, It was the iirst real grand opera ever produced by the school, and all who came can testify to its success. The scene of the opera is laid in England. Lady Harriet, played by Frances Ringholrn, and her friend Nancy, Marjorie Swartsel, are discon- tented with court life. Sir Tristan, Paul Albert, is very much in love With Harriet, but she scornshim, and in an effort to escape his advances, she suggests that they disguise themselves and mingle with the peasants in the market place. While in this disguise they hire out as servant girls to some young farmers who turn out to be noblemen in disguise. Finally they are rescued by Sir Tristan from this situation. Lady Harriet soon finds that she has fallen in love with Lionel, Robert Gerdes, and Nancy likewise with Plunket, jack jacques, and so it all ends happily. The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Ruddick, accompanied the singers. The production was directed by Miss Hartley, Miss Hannas, and Miss Wilson.

Regular write-ups have been given all school sports, both for the boys and girls. The Forum, Vaudeville, Old Clothes' Day, and everything else of interest to the student body as a whole, have found a place in this term's paper. Our advertisers have been most generous, and patient when their copy did not read just right. The ads form a vital part of the paper and there is every reason to believe that they have been read, by the students. Certain it is, however, that those who did not read the ads have reason to regret it. The staffs, both editorial and managerial, have rendered splendid and efficient service throughout the term, and, although the Weekly News did not and could not please all, we hope that it has pleased the mighty majority. llllllllllllllllll 0 GANIZHI I0 Illllllllllllllll UUUU 3UUUUg llllllllllllll HEP? 311:15 5?::I 5'-32.'f'2'-'5.'3 3-'I-'15 3? ?':I'Z-'.i1':'-:I I-I-55 -I-li-T-':1'-'S 1 i 5i:'f'f-3:-if PII-E 3 31 P5-. 3 :2 I EPI . ,..p:.1-1:23155-3 -51:21-' :-JZ:-1 !:g:',:1Q.': rj- : j.1-:U'I: .

This was made possible only by the hearty co-operation of the students and faculty in the different activ- ities of the school. The Boys' Field Day brought the whole school together in a spirit of good-fellowship. The Vaudeville, which was given on two occa- sions to accommodate the large number who wished to attend, was most noteworthy. Basket- ball, track, baseball, swimming, tennis, and the inter-advisory contests have all added enthu- siasm to the already wonderful spirit of Berkeley High. May this spirit always prevail.

GIRLS' ei Ass CIATIQQ HE GIRLS' ASSOCIATION this teirm has tried to uphold the simple democratic spirit that has always been part of the association. This true spirit of friendliness and sociability has reached out and brought the timid stranger and the lireshman into the heart of the affairs of the Association. It has encouraged and stimulated the interests of the giirls in the many fields of play that the girls' athletic section has to offer. it ,.sQ ll' M 4 H 'yi 5:1 f 1. 2 t ' 1 ,. .Ivy Jgi .

Aside from the volunteer service ren- dered each day by two girls from the High School, the Association has sought to bring the children a little bit of happiness by entertainment in the form of holiday parties. The willing co-operation, the sin- cere vvhole-heartedness with which everything has been put over, and the true, loyal spirit of each and every girl of the Association have formed the magic combination for success. It is for this support that the officers of the Girls' Association wish to ex- tend their sincere appreciation and thanks. ZELLA MCCREARY. Girls' QAssociation N ANY successful high school, clear minds, clean hearts, and good standards are a necessity. In Berkeley High these ideals have been realized. Perhaps to a large extent this is true because of the co-operation and real fellowship among Berkeley High's girls. There exists in Berkeley High an association of girls founded on the highest and firmest of principles for the furtherance of all good causes and ideas. The Girls' Association supports all the other societies and activities of the school and is always willing to help materially as far as is possible. This term's work of the girls has been most successful, with Zella McCreary as their efficient leader. The vvoirk was carried on with the pep and enthusiasm characteristic of the school. p Among the means used to raise funds several one-act plays were given in advisory period. These advisory plays were not only a source of revenue, but they also served to bring the school together socially. The work at the Day Nursery, continued from previous terms, has shown untiring energy on the part of the girls and initiative in planning new phases of the work. The girls have undertaken many duties this term and have proved them- selves invaluable. There are many necessities for the girls at school that the Association has supplied, including mirrors, and other home comforts. So the girls continue to carry on the work of their predecessors, because there is a realization now of the necessity of an organization of girls in any high school. Berkeley High, so famous in other foremost high school movements, has not been laggard in this one that is so vital to the life and interests of a school. It only remains for the girls who are to come to continue the good work -to make the Girls' Association of Berkeley High the very best of its kind.

U - Il I UNE ,21 Will mark the close of one of the Forum's busiest years. The Tri-City Debating League has kept our debators busy but the Forum was not neglected. Under the direction of its four officers, and supported well by the members, many interesting programs have been carried out. The officers this term were: Royce Wilson, President, Eldridge Haynes, Commissioner of Programs, Helen Duprey, Commissioner of Publicity, john Higgins, Commissioner of Records. It is interesting to know that all the members of the Interscholastic Debating teams were Forum members. Those who have taken parts in the interscholastics Were: Royce Wilson, Miriam Friedman, Kenneth Ferguson, Fred Hurt, john Higgins, Eldridge Haynes, Fred.Byers, Helen Dup.rey and Donald Blanchard. These debaters have secured a place for Berkeley High in debating. The final record is not known as this article goes to print, but Berkeley is sure of either second or third place. The present records of the schools in the number of debates are: Fremont, 6, Oakland Tech, 4, Berkeley, University, Oakland, 3 each. The next consideration is the number of points won by each school. Berkeley has never lost a debate by a unanimous decision, therefore Berkeley has third place at the time of writing and the best chances for second in the next and last debate. In the number of points secured by the judges' decisions the schools are: Fremont, 17, Be.rkeley, 13, University, 10, Oakland, 9, Tech, 8. Great credit is due the debaters who gave a great deal of their time and energy to these debates' and Worked without any faculty coaching. Much credit is due to Miss Heinz, whose leadership has been of great value to the Forum and whose instruction has made our debaters some of the best in the Tri-City League. FLXVXFQJNITE T333 SIN!

At every rally, game, or meet, this enthusiasm was evident. This term's megaphone artists, George Gaw and his two able assistants Bob Kinkead and Haw- thorne Grady, have been a trio of jazz-getters hard to beat. During the basketball season the yell leader has worked under difficulties because most of the games were away from Berkeley. The iirst real rally to be held for basketball was before the A. C. A. L. game with Hayward. At this game Berkeley showed the Hay Shakers a thing or two in yelling. A. snappy rally was held before the Tamalpais game. The Berke- ley rooters that traveled to Tamal- pais High out-rooted Tamalpais High in their own atmosphere. Another rally of importance came off when Berkeley met Campbell High in basketball. The few Berke- ley rooters at the game made the air blue during their visit to San jose, where the game was held. A rally for the basketball team was called the morning before the . beginning of the spring vacation. During this vacation the team went T to Biggs. Five rooters managed to get to Biggs and these live certainly did their duty. The best rally held this term was the rally the day the Long Beach basketball team came to Berkeley. Little need be said because nearly everyone was there, but Gaw, Kinkead, and Grady led the most enthusiastic bunch of basketball fans produced at B. H. S. during recent years. Sign-up rallies were held for basketball, baseball, track, and swimming. Coach Hunt and Coach Sparks talked at the different rallies as well as the captains of the teams for which the rally wasrheld. These rallies had a great effect in getting the fellows off with a good start and confidence. Every sport was well backed from the bleachers or from the edge of the tank, as the case happened to be, away from Berkeley or here. Not only sports got the backing, but every activity had its share. The lung power of the B. H. S. student body was ready whenever needed. Much credit is due George Gaw for the success of this term. He certainly has worked hard and his assistants deserve their share of credit also. There have been numerous small rallies for track, baseball, and swim- ming. At the A. C. A. L. track meet there was .a good rooting section, as well as at the other smaller meets held at Berkeley. The swimming team has had some sort of a rooting section wherever they went. The baseball team received backing at most of their games even though many were played away from home. Old Clothes' Day RIDAY, january 28, 1921, will long be remembered by B. H. S. students and teachers as the most successful and enjoyable of cele- brations. Following a precedent, Old Clothes' Day has become the official welcome to the scrubs. A very sincere and heart-felt feeling between the scrubs and upper classmen was accomplished by making the scrubs feel that the upper classmen are of their same age and social status. This was endorsed by hair-ribbons and braids, knickerbockers' and skates. In fact, in some cases, the scrubs looked older and more worldly-wise than the seniors themselves. The main object of Old Clothes' Day seemed to be to dress in the most outlandish clothes, the oldest and the oddest. Kiddy-Kars, coasters and all sorts of childish paraphernalia were in vogue. 1 The morning classes were held as usual, or almost as usual. The after- noon of the festivities started with an assembly wherein a good deal of exuberant pep burst forth in the try-out for yell leaders. The motley dressed Berkeleyans then adjourned to the south athletic held, where the audience, especially the girls, were charmed and entertained by a rather muddy set of events. First there was a scrimmage-ball game between the low and High Seniors. The battle waged hot and heavy, both sides fighting steadily, sur- rounded by a highly excited audience. The High Seniors won from the lower members of their class. The tug-o-war, important in the line of events, caused much excitement and nervous tension until the rope broke, leaving the Final score a tie. In the obstacle race, such diminutive articles as ladders and boxes were placed in the runner's path. The audience was convulsed by the hunried hustle as' the participants tried to hurry over and under the obstacles. The real climax came in the tie-up, the muddiest and most blood- curdling of all events. Both the low and high scrubs fought nobly. The high scrubs, however, managed to defeat the babes, and were escorted from the field, victorious. During the athletic events refreshments were served by girls in a nearby booth. Those who survived the ordeal of the tie-up returned to the school, where dancing was enjoyed in the court. Due to the combined influence of the slippery dance-Hoor and the peppy jazz music supplied by the band, this part of the program was a great success. All too soon came the hour of five, with the last dance, and B. H. S.'s motley crowd, tired but happy, Filed slowly homeward, with the feeling that this Old Clothes' Dayiwas indeed the best ever. ,L-wee. -15'ff'iZ,09O. ei-715M1fZ?5' '- , - v. -W!-a6i'fR'eg4'1 meg. ,, we-4' KQQFQ Y -HKQUY Girls' Freshman Reception HEN' the Senior class of '24 came to this abode of learning they received a royal B. H. S. welcome. The boys' were given a rough- and-tumble greeting which expressed true hospitality just the same. Future student body presidents rendered vocal selections from garbage-can tops, and captains-to-be of future championship teams furnished amusement for the noon-time crowds. The freshman girls were not favored in this manner but had a reception all to themselves given in their honor by the Girls, Association. On February 4 each Senior girl called for a little freshman and escorted her to the Auditorium. There the Girls, Athletic Association presented a skit. The skit, the Scrubs' Illusion, was written by Margaret Douglas who played the part of the Scrub. It was very clever and original and all the girls enjoyed it. After the program, the girls went to the gym to dance. Dance programs made of red paper hearts were given out. Every little freshman's dance program was crowded with dances and every one helped everybody else to get acquainted. Punch, as well as pep, added to the cheer of the occasion and everyone had a good time. In this way the Senior class of '24 became an active factor in High School life. Class Dances T WAS the High Seniors, as usual, who started something. This time it was class dances. The High Senior dance was the first of the term and it was a great success. The chalk talk on pink-haired people and other interesting things by Marion Church, and the graceful anesthetic dancing of Shrimp Pearson and Frank Mohr have become a matter of record. The feature of the Low Senior dance was the peppy music. The music, usually a five-piece orchestra, was very good at all the other class dances. Everyone who enjoyed the jazz rendered by our Berkeley Hi players is grateful to those who so gladly gave their time and talent. The unusual thing about the High Middler dance was that it was just a dance, the stunts being omitted. There were very few wall-flowers and everyone had la good time. The Low Middlers followed precedent and had the usual stunts, music, dancing, and punch. The High and Low Scrubs enjoyed every minute of their dances which were just like the others, with pussy-footers, toddlers, and wall-Howers filling in the vacant spaces in the gym. King Lear HE ANNUAL Shakespeare play of Berkeley High School took place this year the 29th and 30th of April. It was as great a success as the other Shakespearean plays of the school. King Lear excited much enthusiasm and complimentary comment. The cast consisted of members of the Dramatic Interpretation class, whose efforts met with great success. So much talent was found in the class that it 'was necessary to run two different casts, one for Friday and one for Saturday evening. Mr. Winter again demonstrated his ability as a coach and executive head by turning out a play that was all but professional. Each depart- ment united to make the Shakespeare play the best possiblef The music department was responsible for the composition of symbolic music, the domestic science department designed and made the costumes, and the stagecraft class designed and executed scenery that was both unusual and appropriate. Through the efforts of these workers the finished production of King Lear was an example of unity and came near perfection. French Dramatics HE ORGANIZATION of the French Dramatics class is a new move- ment started last August by Mrs. Howard. The plays are being coached by Miss Alexine Mitchell, and under her able coaching the players are making rapid progress. M. Andre Ferrier, a teacher of dramatic French, has taken a great interest in their work. The pupils have gone several times to his theatre in San Francisco and have received help on important points, thus improv- ing their acting. Two plays, Gringoire and La Grammairef' were given early in May. The cast for Gringoire,' was as follows: Louis XI, Antony Freeman, Gringoire, Dorothy Warren, Loyse, Mary Reaveyg Simon Fourniez, Edwin Coleg Olivier Le Daim, Frank Jallug Nicole Andry, Eva Parks: Madeleine Putnam gave two recitations during the intermission, Apres la Bataillei' and La Jeune Fillef' Those who took part in La Gram- maire were: Caboussat, Jeanne jardineg Blanche, Madeleine Putnam, Poitrinas, Helen Carling Machut, Marcella White, jean, Dorothy Warren. The plays were a decided success and all who attended realized the splendid work done by the pupils. ' Af The Vaudeville- HE BERKELEY High School auditorium luckily withstood the tre- mendous applause of two evenings of the most successful vaudeville ever staged there. Because of the increasing popularity of the Vaudeville, it was decided to give two performances instead of one. Accordingly the tickets went on sale for the evenings of Friday and Saturday, the 11th and 12th of March, with the .result that the highest hopes were more .than satisfied, for each night the house was sold out, and the financial success was assur.red. When the curtain rose a scene, Noir et Blanc, was unfolded in which little black and white figures danced and sang in a most captivating way. This skit was presented by Gertrude Kendall and Mignon Callish. From this strange world of black and. white the audience was next transported to a more familiar one by the deft fingers of Andrew Lindsay and Preston Chapin. 'Those guitar artists made the wide expanse of the Pacific a mere nothing, and the audience sat spell-bound in the balmy air of Dreamy Hawaii. The Dance oi Mania, by Lillian Meilink, took the audience by a series of interpretive dances, down through the ages to the present modern dance, which is the delight of the high school pupil. Howard Wittenberg, on account of sudden illness, was unable to present his skit entitled, Mysterious Manifestations Mysteriously Manifestedf' But weren't the boys eager for the next number? 'They were to be allowed the chance of their lives! As the curtain rose on Marion Church's skit, the mysteries of the Vanity Box became forever an open secret. The boys gazed with awe and wonder as animated lipsticks, powder puffs, rouge puffs, hair nets, and other feminine accessories, spoke for themselves and their uses. It was a dead give-away on the girls, and a good one, too! After the intermission the audience was conducted by Erato Dehmel and Miriam Hubbell to the land of story books. Here they had an insight into some interesting and embarrassing situations in the lives of promi- nent teachers and classmates. These were most realistically disclosed by the animated pages of an enormous book. After this number the audience was delightfully entertained by the Saxarimba Dittoes, or the Wandering Minstrelsf' better known as ,For- rest Horner and Lloyd Wiseman. These musical wonders kept their audience spell-bound for a pleasant fifteen minutes. I VAUDEVILLE CAST After this Miles Cutler accompanied by Ruth Cutler undertook to quiet the nerves of the audience with tvvo violoncello solos which certainly had a most delightful effect. The audience was not left in this restful state long, however, as they were soon introduced by the Valley Ville Volunteersn to a small-town fire house, police station, jazz band headquarters, etc., all in one. This was originated by none other than Arthur Thorsen, who produced a laugh from start to finish. Last, but certainly not least, was a skit presented by Vera Mott, Elmer Pearson, Zella McCreary and Eugenie Bolton, entitled Maison Lucille. In this number the latest fashions were cleverly shown to an admiring audience. Many thanks are certainly due Mr. Ruddick, the orchestra, and those teachers and students who so unseliishly gave their best efforts towards making this vaudeville the success it was. Charles Harvey was the general manager and was ably assisted by Elmer Pearson Qs-tage managerj, Everett Lundy Cproperty managery, and Daniel Nutting Qelectricianj. ll r.f '11MZll 'ffiI1,1.,,, I : -Z - ' E: ' -, EQ. ii 51 Vi Bling i ? fa: ? f' 7 7 Q. -,V --- gf-'limi f l-1' wi 1'JV:1 air A ' -12. rf-: ax.iwgl ' ' F' ' E f'l1 X rev '--'ezf FOOTBALL Jackson Bliss Wilbur Boies Rector Brown Roland Bryant John Clymer Buford Clopton james Dixon Charles Harvey Arthur Hiscox Harry McCausland Charles Harvey Roy Kimberlin Everett Lundy James Dixon Wilbur Boies Chester Howlett SWIMMING BASKETBALL TENNIS TRACK Newell Mell Howard Mitchell Ray Moody Frank Perry Talcott Seaver Robert Shreve Fred Swan Frank Thatcher Lorenz Weissel Newell Mell Leslie Seaborn Leonard Turney Edward Chandler Il SKU HLL l f!-. . . all-MK 7 M X X .x 0 'X U' X E I ' k 2' g X X ISE Y A 'i v 1 BASKETBALL SQUAD Basketball ERKELEY High's basketball season at first seemed doomed to a quick finish. Most of the material was new and all of it inexperienced, but the fellows buckled down to hard work and under the tutorship of Coach jSparks one of the best basketball squads Berkeley has ever had was turned out. First the A. C. A. L. championship was taken by defeating Hayward. Tamalpais Union High was next, giving B. H. S. the North Coast- Section title. 'Then Campbell, winners of the Peninsula League, put Berkeley in a position to play for the Northern California championship. B. H. S. annexed that title by defeating Biggs High in a close, hard-fought game played at Biggs. The final game for the state championship was played against Long Beach at Harmon Gym. The score, 21-17, shows how hard a game it was. Berkeley led until the last few minutes' of play when the old 'Lhoodoo showed up and B. H. S. went down in an honorable defeat. As teams the two were evenly matched, Long Beach having the edge in experience. Coach Sparks, a new man in B. H. S., is largely responsible for the success of the team. He introduced an effective coaching system and certainly has deserved the appreciation of the student body for his good work. The team realizes what his great efforts have meant to them and appreciates them. Mr. Jennings, business manager for the team, also deserves a few words of praise, for his efforts in bettering conditions. Mr. Jennings was often called upon to act as an official at the games and his work is greatly appreciated by the fellows. PRELIMINARY GAMES Berkeley 13, U. C. Frosh 19 The U. C. Frosh took Berkeley into camp in a close battle at Harmon Gym. Berkeley showed all kinds of scrap, but their older opponents were too much for them. Nevertheless, Berkeley ran up the highest score made by any prep school against the Frosh this year. Berkeley l9, Stanford Frosh 17 Berkeley came out victor in a close, hard-fought contest against the Cardinal Babes. The victory was not certain until the last second of the game. Berkeley 24, U. H. S. 16 Berkeley outclassed the University High quintet in all departments in an exciting contest played in B. H. S. gym. Berkeley 10, Oakland 29 Whether Berkeley was stale, or the Oakland boys were playing over their heads is not known, but Berkeley came home on the short end of the score. Berkeley 34, Alumni 31 The Berkeley High Alumni went down to defeat before the B. H. S. second squad in an unexciting contest. Berkeley 16, Oakland 13 Oakland came here to repeat her former tactics but Berkeley was wide awake and beat her in a hard-fought battle. LEAGUE GAMES ' Berkeley 27, Hayward 16 Superior teamwork vanquished the Hayward quintet in a rather slow game played at Hayward, Berkeley came home the possessor of the A. C. A. L. championship. Berkeley 28, Tamalpais Union High 16 p Berkeley played all around the mountain boys and easily took the game, along with the North Coast Section title. Berkeley 40, Campbell 19 Berkeley decisively defeated Campbell, the Peninsula champs, putting B. H. S. in line for the Northern California championship. Berkeley 30, Biggs 26 Berkeley won a close game fo.r the Northern California title. The game was played at Biggs and the fellows came back with an excellent report of their courteous treatment and splendid sportsmanship. --------1 , , Y Y Coach Sparks Y Dixon Cowden Pigg Berkeley 17, Long Beach 21 In brief, Berkeley lost to a good, sportsmanlike team with the advantage of experience. Berkeley never let up and gave all they had, trying to win. It was hard to take, but the defeat was no disgrace. V THE TEAM The playing of Captain Jimmy Dixon stood out in every game. jimmy, playing guard throughout the season, was one of the hardest Workers and the fastest man on the team. With him at guard many a good forward's record was broken. Jimmyproved a heady and clever campaigner on the Hoor at all times and the team showed they knew it by re-electing him to pilot them another season. Vernon Carverwas one of the most valuable men on the team. He is a consistent player who uses his head at all times. With Dixon and Carver at guard, few could get by the defensenthese two'put up. Carver will be one of the mainstays upon which to build next year's team. Lloyd Pigg came to B. H. S. with a great record as a hoop-man at Los Angeles High. Pigg has certainly upheld his record. A more consistent player, or a harder worker, would be difficult to find. 'The score book, however, can speak better for Piggls record than any words of praise. Pigg graduates- this year. , Jack Armstrong, the lightest man on the team, was one of the fastest and slipperiest forwards seen around these parts. Army', was a pyramid of strength to the team, and we are sor.ry he will not be here another year to further his splendid record. ' ' Armstrong Carver Tays Van Nostrand Sweater Cowden held down the center berth from the beginning of the season. He was one of the hardest lighters on the team and many were the points stacked up for Berkeley by him. Cowden graduates this year. Van Nostrand and Swallow filled Cowden's shoes when necessary and filled them well. Van Nostrand also played a good game at forward. Tays played a good scrappy game at guard and put up a splendid exhibition in every game he played. Rettig, first substitute forward, was the hard-luck man of the year. Art contracted blood-poisoning in his hand and could not play in the final game. The Moffett brothers and Kierulff put up good games- at forward. johnny Buck, Moody, and Walkie,' Mills played well at guard. Scoring , Berkeley High scored 258 points this season against their opponents' 223. The points were scored as follows: Pigg, 91, Armstrong, 62, Cowden, 225 Carver, 6, Dixon, 10, Rettig, 65 Bob Moffett, 165 F. Moffett, 145 Van Nostrand, 8, Swallow, minus 2. 130-POUND BASKETBALL Berkeley High's 130-pound basketball team was started again this year. 130-pound teams have not represented the school for several years. This year Berkeley had a good team, losing only to Santa Rosa for the North Coast Section title. Berkeley beat University High once and Oakland High twice in practice games. The first League game was played against Hayward High for the A. C. A. L. championship. Berkeley easily won by a 22-11 score. The next League game was played at Santa Rosa. Due to poor conditions and a box court, Berkeley lost, 27-16. THE TEAM Lien and Gaw usually played the guard positions and held them down very well. White played center excellently. Presler and Baker at forwards always put up a good game. Other fellows on the squad, who did good work, were Kimberlin, Craviotto, McEneany and McLeod, forwardsg Johnson and Hassler centers, and Golly and McKenna, guards. ffm. Kem QQ G mr rg - I K2 3,f,,,...Sf ig 'iff Kg! rg f V I f fe TRACK TEAM Track In every dual meet Berkeleyfcame out winner. The team this year was well balanced, though there were no individual stars. Second place was taken in the N. C. S. on second and third places. The state meet was not as successful due to the lack of record-breakers. It was a team Berkeley could be justly proud of. It was a team that at Hrst was composed mostly of green material, but it soon developed into a winner. Schools that placed strongly in the state meet had been defeated by Berkeley previously. The other school teams were made up of, one, two, or three good men, while Berkeley had all good men. The work of Coach Hunt can not be praised too highly. He knew his Work and showed it. He taught every fellow to make the most of himself. The success was backed up by a certain portion of the student body. that turned out for every mieet. Roger Segure, unable to run, turned out every night and helped the fellows in every way possible. He managed those things others left undone. INTERCLASS The Interclass meet was won by the Seniors. The Middlers came second and the scrubs third. A great deal of ability was shown in this meet, though some of it is undeveloped. This meet was the start of another successful track season for Berkeley Hi. VALLEJO k. 'ij 6-,jf 3 5 'fikii 1 352351 The Vallejo track team was fl!

The college boys, with more experienced material to choose from, won the greatest number of points. Berkeley showed fine form. Orme won the mile and Dunn came second. The score at the end of the meet stood: Stanford 89, Berkeley 28, Oakland Tech 9. A SAN JOSE Berkeley visited San jose and defeated San jose High track team in a well contested meet-score 90 to 59. Once again Berkeley showed a well- balanced track team by placing in every event. Berkeley's usual weakness in the weight events was not in evidence. Bryant won first place in the shot and Turney took First in both the discus and the javelin. A. C. A. L. 'The Berkeley High track team won the A. C. A. L, track meet with Alameda as opponents-score 113 to 74. Berkeley placed in every event and took first three places, in the mile, half mile, and the broad jump. The time made in the hundred by Hamm of Alameda was 10 1-5 seconds. Wright of Berkeley was almost even with him at the finish. A new record was made in the 8-pound shot, adding two feet to the distance. NORTH COAST MEET The North Coast meet held at Stanford was won by Palo Alto High with 43 points. Berkeley came second with 35 and Hollister third with 33. The meet was run off in great style, several N. C. S. records being broken. Berkeley made most of her points in second and third places. The 120-pound class must be given a good deal of credit in this meet. Nine unlimited men qualified for the state meet. OAKLAND TECH . Berkeley won from Oakland Tech, with the score 73 1-3 to 39 2-3. Unlike the previous meet with Oakland Tech and the Stanford Frosh, Berkeley had a chance to really see how Tech would place in a dual meet. By taking advantage of D Berkeley's weakness in the weights, Tech made most of their points. The Brst three places went to Berkeley in the mile, the 880, and the low hurdles, as well as the first two places in the 440 and the high jump. The other places were Well distributed. STATE MEET 'The state meet was held at Berkeley this season. The U. C. track saw eight California Interscholastic Federation records broken. The method in which the meet was run off and the wonderful competition proved this to be one of the most successful state meets ever held. Berkeley entered men in several events but they were unable to place among the record- breakers from all over the state. THE TEAM Captain Weissel was the biggest point-winner for Berkeley and his loss this term will be felt. He ran the low hurdles, the broad, and the high jump. Curt Wright usually broke the tape in the century and two-twenty. His best time was 10 2-5 seconds, a time to be envied. Frentrup, another sprinter, often took first by stretching just a little farther than Wright. Orme and Dunn were Be.rkeley's milers. In several meets Orme, Dunn, and Biglow took the first three places. Biglow ran the 880 in great style. He was small and had to sprint, but he won. Herms was another good 880 man. The 440 men, Smith, Koepsel, Gavv, and Byrne, made some excellent times. Smith also did the broad jump. Ed Parent ran the lovv and high hurdles and could always be relied on to place. Stevick and Clymer also ran the sticks. jimmy Dixon ran the relay and tossed the javelin. When the stick got in the air it traveled over 130 feet for a win. In the field events Swallow and Bryant took care of the 12-pound shot. Turney's specialty was the discus but he could do the shot and the javelin to advantage. Clymer also threw the discus. Stirling was the fellow who did the high jump with a stick. He will develop into a wonderful pole-vaulter by next season. The 120-pound class, Kenny, Brewer, Presler, Dougherty, Brown, and Srisook, brought home a great many honors for Berkeley. In a meet against any other schools, these 120-pounders would be a victory for Berkeley. O ur Records 880-yd. Run ,...,..., ............ 2 min. 4 2-5 Sec .....,. .,,,,,,,, B iglow 100-yd.

Presler BASE N BALL T1 I X ' 9 ' BASEBALL TEAM Baseball The Season ITH POOR prospects to start with, the Berkeley High baseball team is finishing a very successful season. 'They won most of the prelimi- nary practice games but lost the only League game played before this article goes to press. The team has been wonderfully developed by the management of Coach Sparks and the co-operation of the players. The first few games were marked by innumerable errors but as the season progressed the players tightened down and played big-league ball. The games to be played will show Berkeley High has a team of which we should be proud. The squad worked hard and conscientiously but lacked the support of the student body in the tight places. In spite of the lack of interest shown by the school, the team has built up one of the snappiest combinations Berkeley High has had since the old championship days. A Berkeley 8, Oakland 7 Berkeley won the first game of the season against Oakland Hi. Score, 8-7. The runs were well grouped and worked for. Berkeley played a very steady game for so early in the season and started out on their schedule in high hopes. A Berkeley 12, Oakland Tech 6 In the first practice game with Oakland Tech, Berkeley High nine came out victors 12 to 6. Berkeleyldid some heavy hitting that Tech could not stop. A return game with Tech the next week reversed the luck. Berkeley lost, score 4 to 3. The game was held on a muddy field and it was hard for either team to do its best. McEneany and Cooper were the batteries for Berkeley. In the last inning Oakland Tech's captain smashed out a home run, winning the game. Berkeley 11, First National Bank 7 A team made up of members of the First National Bank met defeat at the hands of Berkeley. Score 11 to 7. This game was easily Berkeley's. 'They had no competition to start with. A group of errors let the Bankers cross the home plate. Captain Thatcher caught two beautiful flies that were considered away out of his reach. Berkeley 5, Commerce 1' Berkeley added another victory to her credit when she easilyudefeated Commercial Hi. In the iifth inning Berkeley crossed the plate four times. The pitcher for Commerce gave B. H. S, a run by walking a man with the bases full. McEneany and Bliss were Berkeley's battery. Harms showed some pretty infield playing during the game. Berkeley 15, University 4 University High, our old rivals in every sport, were overwhelmed by the Berkeley Hi baseball team 15 to 4. Berkeley made ten runs in the iifth inning. During that inning nearly every ball that was put over was a hit for Berkeley. The U. H. S. pitcher walked in two runs. Witt, Bliss, and Cooper were batteries for Berkeley. U. H. S. made runs on good hits. Berkeley 9, Poly Engineering College 9 Berkeley was unable to put over a winning run on the Oakland Poly- technic Engineering College. The game was a tie, 9 to 9. It had to be called off in the last of the ninth because of darkness. Both teams played good ball and placed their hits well. Buddy Morse played a line defensive game and made four hits at live times at bat. Gilmore was on the mound. Berkeley 5, University 3 University High staged a return game with Berkeley and for a second time met defeat. The Berkeley ball players were very stingy with errors and allowed but three runs to cross the plate. Turney and Shreve played fine games for Berkeley. Gilmore was on the mound and Cleverdon behind the bat. - Berkeley 4, Hayward 5 . Berkeley High lost its iirst League game to Hayward High with the score 5 to 4 after eleven innings of playing. Berkeley suffered, when Hayward had two outs, by errors on Berkeley's part which allowed two runs to cross the plate. This gave Hayward a lead but Berkeley in the ninth came back strong. Wilcox knocked a home run. Hits by Cleverdon and Shreve brought in another run, thus tying the score. In the eleventh, Hayward managed to score, winning the game. Gilmore pitched good ball. Future Games After this article goes to press Berkeley will play Alameda in the second A. C. A. L. game. If Berkeley wins and Alameda defeats Hayward, Berkeley will have another chance to show her iight against that team. THE TEAM r Captain Thatcher was a consistent fighter and never missed a fly while at his' position in center field. He had the fellows working with him and held the team together in great shape. In back of the bat Cooper and Cleverdon worked hard. There was little base-stealing while they were on the job. Gilmore and Witt were on the mound. They were both cool, consistent, and heady players with lots of speed. 'They never went up in the air. McEneany pitched good ball in the practice games. Golly on First base with his previous' ability was a great asset to the nine. Sure was his middle name. Morse held down second in a Fine manner. He was fast, snappy, and used his head. No one slipped anything over on Harms while he was holding down third base. He was always awake and wielded the willow stick to advantage. Both Craviotto and Atchison at short played good defensive games and were line on the pick-ups. .Chaloner alternated with the Helders in their good work. Butler was always ready when a good man was- needed. He worked well on all the infield positions. Shreve played infield positions to perfection. He was mighty handy with the willow stick and brought home many runs. S THIS article goes to press, the Berkeley High swimming team is- V bidding fair to capture again the state title for this sport. B. H. S. had a strong team last year and many of the veterans are left to strengthen this year's team. Q Few meets' have as yet been staged, but the fellows have been turning out faithfully every afternoon to splash the aqua in an honest effort to .repeat the success of the previous year. In the First three practice meets of the season, however, B, H. S. has been beaten. This is nothing to be afraid of, for it does the fellows more good than harm to have good competition. Mr. Hunt is coach for this year's team and is proving a very good one in every respect. His assistant, Mr. Reavy, is out to every practice with the fellows, giving them his personal attention. He watches each lad, giving him the instructions and points which will make him a better man in his event. . Water polo, in which Berkeley participated last year, was discontinued this year because of lack of competition. This is too bad, as a great team was expected, and also a general clean-up on everybody. I THE MEETS Berkeley 27, U. C.

Several new members proved their ability to the satisfaction of all. The veterans showed that they had not forgotten their swimming lessons of the previous year. Berkeley 34, Stanford Frosh 36 Berkeley was defeated by a closer score by the Stanford Freshmen than by the U. C. This meet was held at Stanford on April 9. Great improve- ment was shown by the Berkeley boys in all events. Each fellow was working well and Berkeley lacked but two points to tie the meet. The swimmers gained experience, though, which will be a great help to them in future meets. Berkeley 422, Lowell 43M In a closely contested meet held in the Berkeley Y. M. C. A. tank on Wednesday, April 20, the Berkeley High swimming team was outclassed by a single point. It was the first high school meet of the season and will be long remembered as a most exciting one, in which the outcome was doubtful until the very last. Berkeley 62, Oakland Tech 32 Berkeley easily won over the Tech paddlers in a meet held at 'Idora Park on Saturday, April 23. Tech was no match for our swimmers as was evident from the First. Berkeley showed good form and improvement in all events. Berkeley has now started swimming in earnest, and from now on will begin eliminating, instead of being eliminated. The Team as Individuals Berkeley's coach, Mr. Hunt, is organizing the team into a strong body which the other schools will have a hard time reckoning with. Mr. Reavy, the assistant, takes such personal interest in the boys- that the strength of his presence is felt by all of them. Captain Roy Kimberlin of last year's state championship team is heading the list of point-makers this year. He is a line captain and hopes to lead his team to the desired victory. His specialty is sprints. Preston Chapin, another sprinter and high point man, is a new member of this school. He is certainly making a record and Berkeley is proud to have him. Leslie Seaborn swims' the backstroke to perfection. He chops into many of the opponents' points with his windmill strokes. Robert Buckalew is Berkeley's second backstroke man and is good in that race. Allen Dennison is Berkeley's 220 man. He can always be counted upon for good points in this event. Philip Kearney swims the 220, and swims it very well. He has a good finish and may be counted on for needed points. Edward Krisher also swims a good race in the 220. Newell Mell shows good speed in the sprints and may be relied upon for a good Finish. Eric Sanders breakstrokes for Berkeley in great style. John Fant breaststrokes to a good finish. Kenneth Kane makes good time in the 440. Avery Watson also swims the 440 and is in the same class as his partner. Frank jones excels in the plunge this year. He is a plunger of rare form and great momentum, Dahl Wheeler is Jones, partner in this event. Although unable to equal Jones' distance, he makes a good second. Laurence Cox shows- rare form at diving. In this event he cops many needed points for Berkeley. Edward Sleeper dives with fine form. Sydney Glasson shows very good form in his dives. Ray Moody, Berkeleyls big diverpdisappears beneath the water in perfect form, and may be counted on for many points. Berkeleyis' relay team has been very successful and is expected to go strong throughout the season. Those who have made the relay team are: Moody, Dennison, Kearney, Mell, Seaborn, Kimberlin, and Chapin. Tennis NDER the leadership of Coach Melnikow and Captain Bud Chandler, tennis started off with a bang this season. At the beginning a tourna- ment was held to aid the coach in picking his squad. This tournament was greeted with enthusiasm and there was a large turnout. About forty fellows tried out and as a result there were many good matches and lots of competition. THE MATCHES There have been several practice matches played so far, in which Berkeley High has been victorious in all but one. As we go to press Berkeley has met and defeated her old-time rivals, Oakland High and Oakland Tech. However, Berkeley has to meet these schools again when the League opens: These two schools have been easy prey for the B. H. S. racketers and will be again when the A. C. A. L. opens. Berkeley lost to University High in a match at the Berkeley 'Tennis Club courts, but recently defeated Lowell in a match. A LEAGUE MATCHES As the Pod goes to press the League has not yet started The A. C. A. L. is' scheduled to be played at Hayward, May 7. All indications point to Berkeley's coming out victor in this match. 'The N. C. S. is scheduled to be played at the Berkeley Tennis Club, May 14. Captain Bud Chandler will compete in the League matches. With him in the doubles will be Fred Graham, who plays second singles. Beside the First team those who have played in different practice matches are: jacque- mart, Lindsay, Atkinson, and Hanscom.

But no wonder we have such a splendid record with so many sports to choose from. The girls have to pick at least one. Because there is : FALL HOCKEY The season went off with a bang from the opening practice to the closing game. Thirty-eight of the sixty girls who came out for this sport made squads and thirty made teams. There were two teams, the Upper-Class team of Seniors and High Middlers, and a Lower-Class team of Low Middlers and Scrubs. Although the Lower-Class team lost the games, they played Well. An all-star team was picked from all the hockey players to meet a Grad team for the last game of the season. The best player for each position was chosen and a team composed of Sarah Ellen Beeney, Margaret Douglas, Helen Duprey, Mildred Ehlert, Lloyda Esterly, Jeannette Garver, Eleonore Ginno, Phyllis Harroun, Ester Heidekker, Katherine Lord, Miriam Peyser, Harriet Schneider and Virginia Sexton, showed the old Grads a few things in hockey-playing and walked off with the large end of a score. TENNIS This term there was a variety of ideas in tennis. The perpetual tennis tournament was played for the first time, an inter-advisory tournament was inaugurated, and twice a week Miss Entz, assisted by the head of tennis, taught the game to beginners. In singles the scrubs were represented by Gertrude O Toole, who won the championship in singles by defeating Mary Parham. Helen Carlin and Mary Parham, Senior representatives, defeated Betty Bates and Marguerite Melinthorpe in doubles. An elimination tournament will be held to determine the school champion at the end of this term. DANCING It was recently decided to award one hundred points to those girls who take part in skits or dances which are presented by Miss Kelly from time to time. 'The present work of the dancing class is preparing a skit for the Senior Farewell. ' TRACK - ' This- is one of the most important spring sports. A great deal of enthusiasm is evident. There, are many events in track. It includes Sprints, hurdles, high and broad jumps, hop-step-and-jump, baseball and basketball throw, javelin throw and discus. There are sixty-five girls being coached by Miss Entz in track for a meet w v 1 w w of the three teams picked from the Scrubs, the Middlers, and the Senior class. SWIMMING This is a sport that is useful and enjoyable and sixty-three girls have realized it. The swimming points are awarded for passing swimming tests. 'The girls who earn-ed their twenty-live points this term are: Ethel Allen, Merle Betts, Alice Hickok, Elizabeth Herrick, Corrine Ucovich, Margaret Chase, Bernice Ehlert, Helen Walters, Gertrude Elms, Mildred Glasson and Dorothy Henley. , It is possible to receive Hfty points for passing the life-saving test, thereby receiving recognition from the Government. The successful person becomes a member of the Women's Life-Saving Corps. BASKETBALL This was the sport that drew the largest number. Ninety girls signed up for this sport. Six teams competed for the championship which resulted in a Senior team's carrying off the victory. After the Iinal game an all-star team was picked to play a Grad team and the victory was theirs, the score being 31-2. The girls whose skill in this game earned them a position on the victorious all-star were: Neta Allen, Marjory Bond, Merle Betts, Olivia Drum, Gertrude Elms, Ester Heidekker, Janice Hoyt, Dorothy Jarman, Dorothy Nelson, Mary Parham and Edith Underwood. I BASEBALL The great American game is also played by the girls. They play both indoor and outdoor baseball. An Upper and a Lower Class team were organized and the teams were well matched. The. Lower-Class team won the lirst real game, after a series of snappy practice games. The Upper- Class team won the next game and the deciding game was anxiously waited for. This game the Upper-Class team won by a score of 21-9.
