The first building of the new plan has been completed and is now occupied. It is a substantial structure, having thirty-nine classrooms, a spacious library, a beautiful Little Theatre, a cafeteria capable of serving five hundred at one time, a roof garden, ample administrative offices, and other accessory rooms. This building should serve the needs of the school for many years. The new gymnasium is well under way and will probably be ready for use with the opening of the fall semester. Plans are being prepared for other buildings, but their construction cannot be begun until more money is provided. Our needs are well known and it is hoped that something will soon be done to provide for them. There is a far more important phase of the new school 11 which we must keep in mind. Should we not look forward to the development of a new spirit of service and self-respect to keep pace with our improvement in material accessories? May we not rightly expect that every student will show his appreciation by helping to develop a better citizenship for the community which is doing so much for him? Recently written excuses from home for absence, or tardiness, were abolished. Students are expected to be in school every day for the full day and to be prompt in attendance at all classes and study periods. This is a duty which they owe to the community, to their parents, and to them- selves and there should be no necessity for enforcing these requirements. When occasions arise which make it impossible to obey them, students should of their own accord take the steps which courtesy and duty require to make the cause for their absence or tardiness known to the proper authorities. It is a well known fact that this has not always been the case. Some students have been guilty of evasion, untruthfulness, and even of deceit and forgery in order to cover up delinquencies connected with school attendance. It is hoped that from now on a new spirit will permeate the school in all matters requiring regulation and that students will feel that it is a privilege to come to school and not a task to be avoided if possible. Personal honor and self-respect should be the controlling factors in securing obedience, and nobody can afford to deviate from the path of duty. If this spirit develops in the Berkeley High School and becomes dominant in our lives, it will mean more to us than all the fine buildings that can be erected. C. L. BlEDEXBACH.

We are Seniors. It is with mingled joy and reluctance that we bid our final farewell to Berkeley High. In August, 1919, we entered high school, as all freshmen do, with quaking hearts. We ran the customary gauntlet of freshmen indignities, but emerged unscathed. We christened Old Clos Day and started it off on its successful career. In our middler year, the school began to realize more fully what a wonderful class we were. Dick Smith, our present Student Body President, then yell leader, gave us a chance to give vent to our feelings, and let out our suppressed pep. It was during this year we all worked so diligently for the swimming pool for our new school. The hour glass ran rapidly through our middler term. Arriving at the senior threshold, our class was eager to set some high precedent for those gradually climbing upward. We certainly succeeded. It was during this term that the B. H. S. football team became so famous. The large silver football in our new trophy case is the result of their fine work. On that football are inscribed ten names of the class of 1922. It was also during this year our Weekly News grew, the seniors again active on the staff. Our Girls ' Association accomplished so much, and, sad but true, we realized how much we loved Berkeley High. Only six months more, when it used to be Oh ! three long years. Our teachers seemed more human, our studies more interesting, and alas ! our recs more important — and only six months more. To top it all, we had the privilege of ushering into our new high school, our lower classmen. It seemed nothing but right that the famous class of ' 22 should open the doors of our new high school and welcome all others to follow in their footsteps. We realized that we left behind us some dear and cherished spots, but we also realized that we were entering our long-looked-for New High School. But now that our last year is drawing to a close, the life of the class of ' 22 will be concluded with the commencement exercises. On that evening the sun sets on our high school career to rise again as we embark on our life ' s work in the great school upon the hill. We do not know Avhat Life has in store for us, but we are sure that whatever it is, it will be the better for those happy days we spent in dear old Berkeley High.

Mrs. Weir, the faculty adviser of the publications, gave her usual support and assistance. Mrs. Most had charge of the art work in this issue. Miss Roberts ' advice concerning the photographic work has been valuable again this term. Mr. Bartholomew gave his usual good business guidance to the editor and manager. Mr. McCullagh had charge of the senior photographs again this term. Lederer, Street Zeus have been our publishers and their work has given great satisfaction. Wm. M. Herms. BERKELEY PUBUC LIBRARY WEEKLY NEWS STAFF Raymond Dougherty Edmund Unfred Jack De Frees Mae Mansell Ruth Henderson Eliot Brown Fred Foster Henry Takahash POD STAFF Raymond Dougherty Bonnie George Norwood Nichols Donald Browne Edward Miller Frank Lynip Henry Takahashi ART STAFF J ournaiisni Cl ass Hew students realize how valuable the Journalism class is to the Weekly News and consequently to the school. Generally the entire inside section of the paper is written by pupils of the Journalism class. During the latter part of the term, when the editor is busy with the Olla Podrida, they practically edit the paper. Looking at it from the individual ' s standpoint, this class has excellent training. The entire corps of workers on both publications have received their training in this class. The Journalism class is more than just a class in English. The work in this class develops school spirit and school pride in things which most classes have not time to consider. The work of this group of students has been especially commendable this term. They have been wide awake and invaluable in editing the Weekly News. The Editor. 1 RITCHIE SMITH President A. So Bo Ho So Che famous Berkeley High spirit has been up against, and has passed successfully through, a great test this term in changing from the old to the new building. The school has grown to be one of the largest high schools in the state. Because of its members the student body has been greatly handicapped in not being able to assemble as a whole in the auditorium at one time. In spite of these difficulties, that never-die spirit has managed to pull through and at the time this Pod goes to press, things look bright for one of the most successful terms in the history of the school. The different branches of athletics have lived up to their high standard of perfection. Keen interest and support have been shown in debating, dramatic, journalistic, musical, and social activities, as well as in the Camera and Radio Clubs, two new clubs started this term. I want to take this opportunity to thank all those of the student body as well as the faculty who have co-operated in making this term a success and to say in closing that I hope that the spirit of co-operation which is so essential in the life of the school may continue to grow. Ritchie Smith. BOARD OF CONTROL )orothy Dunyon Edward Chandler Robert Shreve Dixie Elms Frank Thatcher FACULTY ADVISER Mr. Bartholomew Girls ' Association President Marion Clymer Vice-President Helen Lewis Secretary Madeleine Putnam Treasurer Ruth Mell ? HE girls of Berkeley High have high standards of schol- arship, sportsmanship, and friend- ship, and this term has shown them striving to make these standards manifest. Each girl has tried to do her best to make the Association work as interesting and as helpful as possible. This term marks the tenth anni- versary of the Girls ' Association and from the first assembly and the Freshman Reception, through the Day Nursery work, the parties, the entertainments, and other activities the efforts which the girls made to make them all a success showed that they were thankful for the Association, its ideals, and what it has meant individually to each girl in the life of the school. Although the school has become larger and the girls are farther apart in space occupied, they are not farther apart in spirit. The officers of the Girls 1 Asso- ciation extend a sincere appreci- ation to the girls on the committees for their earnest effort and willing- ness ; to all the girls for their enthu- siasm and co-operative spirit: and to the faculty for their helpfulness. Marion Clymer. The Big B 11 Society Edward Chandler President Robert Shreve . Vice-President John Clymer Secretary CHIS term the Big B Society has been a big factor in making all school activities a success. From the Old Clothes Day program, which they supervised, to the last event of the term, they have been a main cog in school affairs. At all these affairs they have shown what they stand for, and that is true sportsmanship and real school spirit. Their ideals should be transmitted through the school from old mem- bers to new members. It should be the ambition of every student, especially scrubs, to earn his letter and thus learn to know what sports mean. The Big B Society now has twenty members, having taken in four neophytes at their last initiation. Scrubs, make this splendid organization your aim. lestra FIRST VIOLIN Mary Chamberlain Florence Scranton Eunice Lehmer Dorothy Dunyon Harold Baker Marcella White Agnes White Hazel Hewett Eugenie Bolton Nellie Knox Marjorie Handy SECOND VIOLIN Crimo White Edna Hampton Willa Conzelman Gladys Hull Frances Warnecke Frances Kockritz Ruth McCullagh Edna Turner Harry Green Tack Culvyhouse VIOLA William Bleyle Melville Compton Vilas Hammond VIOLONCELLO Miles Cutler Derrick Lehmer Harriet Wilson DOUBLE BASS Leo Westwater Anthony Freeman Frederic Delzell FLUTE Harold Holden Elmer Schmidt CLARINET Thomas Amess Will Engle OBOE George Byrne BASSOON Forrest Horner CORNET William Beekhuis Raymond Dougherty Leland Caya FRENCH HORN Ben Cruess Clifford Bull TROMBONE John Driver PERCUSSION Darrell Donnell Kenneth Priestly Don Brewer PIANO Eleanor Bates Ruth Cutler B.

The Tri-City Debating League, now in its second year, was the Forum ' s main interest. The members of the League this year were Fremont, Oakland, Oakland Technical, University and Berkeley High, with Mrs. Livingston, Debating Adviser for Berkeley, acting as chairman. The League debates are always simultaneous in character, each school providing two teams, the affirmative being the home team in each case and the negative, the visiting team. In this way each school is given an opportunity on both sides of the question. Schools are matched by lot and teachers from non-participating schools act as judges. The debates are decided on a basis of 75 per cent for argument and 25 per cent for delivery. To date, Fremont, University and Berkeley each has three victories to its credit, Technical one, and Oakland none. The number of decisions awarded is as follows: Berkelev , 10; University, 7; Fremont, 6; Technical, 5; Oakland, 3. According to this showing, Berkeley stands a good chance to win the League series. The final and determining contest is being awaited with much eagerness. The following Forum members participated in the League series: Mignon Callish, Edward Chandler, Henry Grattan, Florence Keane, Gerald Maulsby, and Maurine McKeany. Hi Y John Clymer President Frank Thatcher Vice-President ' xecutive Committee: James Dixon, Walter Mills, Robert Green, Dick Smith, Bob Kinkead, Frank Perry, Jeff Harris. The Hi Y plays a larger part in school affairs than is generally realized. The fellows who are doing the biggest things at Berkeley gather at the Berkeley Y. M. C. A. in good fellowship to discuss things in general, especially doings about Berkeley High. Every Thursday evening beans and cold slaw and yells reign supreme. During the evening some well-known person gives a short talk to the fellows. Kenneth Saunders was one of the speakers this term. Many other men who are doing things in the world are invited to talk to the fellows during a term. Also during the season of a sport at college the Hi Y committee gets one or more of the well-known athletes from the teams to talk to the Hi Y members. Another feature of the Hi Y in past semesters has been the big rallies and banquets held for B. H. S. teams. The rallies put more spirit into the fellows and show the team that they are being supported. The ban- quets after the season is over show the team that their work has been appreciated. The biggest of events of this type is the spring sports dinner, held late in the term, when over two hundred fellows and the teams gather to rejoice over the success of the season. To John Clymer as president is due a great deal of credit for the success of this term ' s Hi Y. Mr. Dickson has always arranged for the Hi Y feeds and to him thanks are due. The executive committee also helped put over the feeds by getting speakers and keeping the right spirit present during the gatherings. 13 Charles Wilson President Jack Glessner Vice-President GeorgE Jacquemart Secretary Stuart Hight Treasurer vHIS is an entirely new club at B. H. S. and it is for the purpose of equipping all who are interested with the necessary instruments and mechanisms. A regular constitution has been adopted and meetings are being held twice a month, with Mr. Ames as faculty adviser. Mr. Ames has planned for lectures to be given by prominent experts, and it is hoped that much will be learned, and all will benefit from these meetings. The new club hopes to initiate its members into the wonders and pleasures of a radio set. Title Camera Cl Edward Miller President Frank Lynip Secretary-Treasurer ' lthough this may sound like a new club to many, it is not, for the first Camera Club organized at B. H. S. was during the fall term of 1914. This club will be a benefit to the school as well as to the individual; for with such able photographers as Edward Miller and Frank Lynip as officers, one can learn a great deal about a camera, as well as how to snap some good snaps for the Olla Podrida. The Club ' s object is to promote a knowledge of and an interest in the camera. Both boys and girls may belong to the Camera Club and everyone is welcome. The members hope that the numbers will increase so that next term the Camera Club will play a greater part in the regular B. H. S. activities. However, the B. H. S. photographers have been of inestimable assistance in taking the many pictures about the school. TOM STEAD EDWIN BUCKALEW GEORGE BYRNE Ra his semester we have been greatly hindered by not being able to have general assemblies. Nevertheless the pep this term has been great. The term was started off with a spring sports rally. Coach Walter Christie, track coach of California, gave a fine talk. All the coaches and captains of the various spring sports gave snappy talks. The next rally was of a different sort. The silver football trophy was presented to the school by Mr. Neil Munro, a Berkeley business man. The en thusiasm was wonderful. A series of rallies was held for the basketball team. The biggest of these was a boys ' rally for the North State Title. Coach Smith and Captain Carver gave snappy talks. The members of the basketball team were then introduced. Never was Berkeley High School more evident than at the North State game with Stockton. Berkeley taught Stockton a little about yelling. On the day before spring vacation a rally of the whole school was held in the street in front of the new building to give the track team a send-off for the hardest meet of the year, the N. C. S. meet. The idea of street rallies was developed this term and proved to be quite successful. The swimming team and the baseball team have also received very good support this term. The two assistant yell leaders, George Byrne and Tom Stead, have helped greatly in putting the pep into the games and street rallies. Mack Campbell also deserves much credit for putting the signs on the bulletin board. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the student body for their wonderful co-operation at the games and rallies and to say that Berkeley High School ' s spirit is great. Edwin Buckalew. lies Old Clothes Day E had just arrived from New York to visit Berkeley, the college city. He stood admiring the Campanile. It was just 8 :30 by the massive clock. He turned to watch the passersby. Lo and behold! What did he see? Perhaps California climate was affecting his eyesight. No, he said at second thought. This is a circus; I will follow it. The strange procession composed of clowns, preachers, vagabonds, and the like turned the corner at Allston Way and wended its way to a large building in that block. No, this is not a circus. What can it be? Perhaps they are inmates of the county hospital out for a little airing, or celebration. As he came nearer he observed that some wore the attire his great-grandmother and great-grandfather used to wear; others were actually in rags. He care- lessly wandered into the court where, fortunately, he was taken as an inhabitant with side-chops and a cane. Spell it, cried the boy on the platform, going through an undue amount of enthusiasm. What does he want them to do? thought the stranger. They had better hurry, or he may get dangerous. He found out, for they certainly spelled it. B-e-r-k-e-l-e-y, Berkeley, Berkeley, Berke- ley High! I guess Berkeley High is the name of the institution, said the stranger to himself. A little later he was carried with the throng across the way to a large field, where the masculine element participated in bygone games. Suddenly he heard a boy announce that the High 12 ' s came out on top in scrimmage ball, the 11th yr. stands a tie in the tie-up, while the H 10 ' s beat the Low 10 ' s in the races. Oh, surely this is original, sighed the gentleman. Did he say number 10 won the race? Poor creatures! they seem to be enjoying themselves immensely without the use of brains. Regardless of their hopeless vacancy they are happy. Back to the court they went, and the New Yorker, too. What did he hear? Surely, not music? Yes, and jazz at that, and if they weren ' t even dancing, actually some of them danced as if they were honest-to-goodness snakes. This was too much. Well, he said, I always thought New York was a wonderful state, but in all my thirty-eight years T never heard or saw anything that could beat this. His thoughts were interrupted by a small lad carrying in one hand a teddy bear and in the other a geometry book. How did you enjoy it today? he asked the gentleman. This sure is some place, isn ' t it? I ' m so glad I came, even if I am a scrub, aren ' t What — wh — what? stammered the New Yorker. Oh, aren ' t you one of us? said the lad. No, not yet, replied the gentleman, thinking he soon would be if he didn ' t hurry a bit. Oh, beg your pardon, said the youngster, as he tripped along. Just then he caught sight of a large bulletin board, on which was written: February 3, Old Clos Day. Wear ' Em Old and Ragged. Everybody for a Good Day of Fun! He looked about. Sure enough, there, over the door, was Berkeley High School. Well, well! he said; California is surely some state, with a school like Berkeley High and their wonderful Old Clos Day. sHE thermometer rose, the wind blew, and the lamp went out. Thus the thrilling and blood-curdling skit came to a close. The freshmen sympathized with the unfortunate villain, Bonnie George, when she did not duck quickly enough and got the box of candy in the back of the neck, from the more fortunate flashing young hero, Beryl McDavid. However, everything is fair in war and love, you know. It still remains a mystery as to who was under the lamp shade and behind the clock. Every Little Scrublet Has a Senior All Her Own was sung as many once dignified seniors appeared upon the scene on Kiddy Kars, making the scrubs perfectly at ease. Next came the thrill which comes once in a lifetime. Every scrub, with the able support of her sister senior, pranced happily across the stage to receive a remembrance of her scrub days at B. H. S. in the form of a rattle. After the skit the dancing began in the gym. The programs, repre- senting valentines, were very appropriate for the occasion. They carried with them the spirit of friendliness and welcome, which they represented. The afternoon was a great success, for when it came to a close every freshman felt that her sister senior was no longer a far-away superior, but an enjoyable and helpful friend. you r SENIOR PLAY CAST The Senior Play Quality Street, by Sir James Barrie, is the title of the play pre- sented by this year ' s graduating class. This production is in striking contrast to the plays formerly presented by High Senior classes. The scenes of Quality Street 1 ' take place in England during the chivalrous days of the Napoleonic Wars. The setting is that of a secluded little town in England. One could not but expect to find some delightful surprise on this so appropriately named Quality Street. Through the plot are woven the affairs of four delicate and refined ladies of Quality Street: Miss Willoughby and her somewhat rebellious sister Fanny, Miss Susan Throssel, and, last but by far the nicest of the four, Miss Phoebe Throssel. Even from the first scene, in which the four refined ladies are chatting amicably over their tea-cups, one gathers little bits here and there of the delicate romance of Miss Phoebe and the gallant Mr. Valentine Brown. Miss Susan, who does not intend that her sister shall go through the uncomfortable stage of old-maid-hood, gently hints to all Quality Street that Mr. Valen tine is going to propose, but Mr. Valentine does not propose. He enlists in the army of brave Volunteers, and we find poor Miss Phoebe a far braver little soldier lighting out the disappointment at home. Ten years later we find Miss Phoebe teaching school in the little blue and white room, a far different Miss Phoebe with the curls tucked back in her cap and her face tired and worn. But sorrow cannot last long, for through the last act of the play we see Miss Phoebe triumph over the fascination of the frivolous Miss Charlotte, win back her girlish charms, and with them the affection of her old sweetheart. Throughout the play one feels the presence of old-time sentiment mingled with the delicate humor of the Napoleonic days. THE CAST Phoebe Zella McCreary Susan Dorothy Norton Miss Willoughby ' .

It is the purpose of this article to tell the student body of their work and also to show these workers that their work is appreciated. Tom McEneany was stage manager. The stage shifting and other work went off smoothly at all productions, as well as at the rehearsals, and this was due mainly to the stage manager ' s good work. Arthur Blocklinger was property manager this term. Other fellows who helped back of the scenes were Norwood Nichols, Waldo Skilling, and Clarence Mayo. VAUDEVILLE CAST Vaudeville P arch 10 and 11 mark another epic in the history of B. H. S. for on those dates the customary vaudeville was given with very good results. The program for the evening defined again vaudeville as variety ' 1 with its offering of light skits and the orchestra. The orchestra started the performance with a lively selection after which the curtain rose displaying Bobby (Harry Green) reading a curdling, blood- thirsty novel. The story of the stolen pearl necklace, or Whozzit , was cleverly acted. But it was only a dream. However the butler, Alfred Frazier, made quite a hit with his side chops. Mary Chamberlain, with her violin, accompanied by Helen Merchant, played some Russian Airs, in her usual artistic way. The next number, The Hibernating Hoboes of Hesperides, by Hugo Scheibner, Lawrence Cox, and Milton Anderson, caused many to hold their breath for fear. The audience was glad that they at least had mats to fall on, either when they fell on purpose, or in case they should fall while turning the somersaults in the air. Mignon Callish and Eugene Bolton ' s Follow the Arrow and You ' ll 4 Follow the Man, proved to be a truly original conception. Ben Haggot as Our Arrow Collar Man seemed to be quite at home, when he fell for The Community Plate Girl (Vera Mott) and the little Sun Maid (Eugenie Bolton). Bob Kinkead certainly did justice to his title as the Hart, Schaffner and Marx Man. The orchestra gave some delightful selections from Katinka during the intermission. Although Papa Buv Me a Balloon had nothing to do with Forrest Horner ' s skit, everyone enjoyed the would-be actors. The xylophone seemed very much alive, after its shroud was removed. The three colored gentlemen, Fred Swan, Jackson Bliss, and Leland Caya, were welcomed by all, for a vaudeville is not complete without them. As usual the Glee Club gave some real and enjoyable harmony in Much Ado About Nothing. The Shadow Show revealed some long-hidden secrets and snakes. The orchestra played Days of Glory for the exit march. The vaudeville seems to improve each year. The good entertainment offered the school by the students, and the hearty co-operation displayed make these entertainments a part of the school life which the students feel they could ill afford to lose. Let us not forget those who helped to make the performance the success that it was. What would the vaudeville be without Miss McLean, assisted by Ritchie Smith, Thomas McEneany, Arthur Blocklinger, and Waldo Skilling behind the scenes? Thanks are also due to Miss Coffin, Miss Kelley, Miss Webb, Miss Wilson, Mr. Ruddick, and Mr. Golden for their able coaching. VAUDEVILLE 1. Overture — L T ndine Lortzing High School Orchestra 2.

The Little Theater We have within our midst a little theater of wide repute. This theater is the most perfectly equipped little theater in the West. It has a very adequate lighting system, footlights, overhead lights, and spotlights. It also has the proper setting for moving pictures. The curtain arrangement is novel, having front, side, middle-back, and back curtains. It is arranged this way so that a scene may be acted in front of the middle-back curtains while another scene is being put up in the back. This little theater holds 251 people and is for the purpose of giving one-act plays, advisory shows, and for the benefit of the English classes.

Captain Dixon announced his inten- tion of playing baseball. This left only one veteran, Vernon Carver, who was elected to lead the team. Coach Smith rapidly reduced the candidates through a process of elimination to a permanent squad upon which he concentrated. He was ably assisted by Coach Gene Golden who took his place when he was ill. They planned for the future, as a result next year ' s team will be intact, except for Robie and Carver who graduate.. Besides the men of this year ' s squad there are many weight men of promise who will have the experience and skill of the unlimited standard. The preliminary season was very successful. Except for the Tech and Stanford Frosh games, the scores were one sided. The Oakland Tech game was the first demonstration of the quality of Berkeley ' s five. The Berkeley High Basketball team played ten hard-fought games, emerging victorious only to be defeated in the eleventh hour of the eleventh game by a series of disasters, leaving the B. H. S. comparatively inexperienced team the champions of the North Coast section of California. The Team The Berkeley High Unlimited Basketball team of 1922 was a well- balanced group of hard-fighting and skillful players. That there was no outstanding star was the result of team work. It might well be called an all-star combination with each individual co-oper- ating to the fullest extent for the efficiency of the scoring machine. Many of the members of the squad were exceptions to that well-estab- lished rule, It takes two years to make a basketball player. There was probably no High School team in the State with as strong a defense as that of Berkeley. Against it the Stanford freshmen were helpless. The forwards were natural players. Long shots were made with accuracy and they excelled in team work. The position of center on a High School team is usually the most diffi- cult to fill. Berkeley was extremely fortunate in having several strong men at this important position. Captain Vernon Carver was an ideal leader, being at the same time the mainstay of the team and a clever field general. His playing was consistent. With his experience and aggressiveness he was invaluable to the team. Carver graduates in June. Fred Moffett did most of the shooting when the team played signals. The harder the angle, the easier the shot for Freddy. Moffett will add more glory to his record as a hoop-man next year. William Bleyle, the smallest man on the team, is a real basketball player. Getting by big men was his specialty. His shooting was depend- able. Bill will do the same tricks next year. Jim Dougery played back guard at the first of the season. He soon proved himself too valuable a player to be saved for defense. At center he took a main part in both defense and offense. Mick will lead next year ' s team. Walter Mills was the foundation of the team ' s defensive formations. Mills fought hard, used his head, both ways in pinches, and played a clean game. Walkie can be counted on for another season. Ira Robie starred on the 130 ' s. After the premature ending of the ' 30 ' s he was a welcome acquisition to the varsity. Robie took a big part in the league games. His aggressive and sensational style of play never failed to worry the opposing guards. Ira is a senior. Edward Chandler played a steady game at center. Specializing on short shots, he used his height advantageously. Bud did the unusual by developing into a center in one season with absolutely no previous experi- ence. Chandler receives a diploma in June. Clayton Mote started many games at center for Berkeley. His work at the tip-off was extremely satisfactory. He was the steady, dependable type of player, always on the play, and an important cog of the basketball machine. Mote is a senior. Fat West, a scrub, is a forward of wonderful ability. With two more years in Berkeley High it is safe to prophesy a great future in store for him. Swede Hassler played a brilliant forward game. Cool-headed at all times, with a keen basketball eye, he was a reliable substitute. Hassler was an experienced passer and an exponent of team work. Sigurd Lien, guard, was a hard fighter with shooting ability. Lien played a good guard game and took the ball down the court when the opportunity was presented. In the Stockton game he proved his worth by taking Captain Carver ' s place. Lien will be back next season. Orla St. Clair at guard played the hard fighting type of game, always presenting an obstacle in the path of the opposing forwards. Orla used his powerful frame to great advantage and to the despair of the competing team. Berkeley is sorry to lose St. Clair. 130-Pound Team Everyone was unanimous in predicting a successful season in store for the ' 3 (Vs. Coach Smith was agreeably surprised at the wealth of material which offered itself. Several of the players were of an unlimited caliber. In the preliminary games the weight men showed to great advantage, defeating unlimited teams with ease in addition to winning from most of the weight teams in the vicinity. The League game was played at Vallejo in a small box court. The spectators on the boundary hampered the athletes who were in a weakened condition from over training, thus allowing Vallejo to win, from a decid- edly superior team, 23-22. Captain Lindquist held down center in a very commendable manner. Robie, Blanc, and White were clever forwards. Morse, Atk-inson, and Brasfield made a group of hard-fighting guards. Sleeper, Stewart, and Abrams were substitutes of great ability. The 120 and 100-pound teams were innovations in Berkelev High. Under Coach Golden they have done good work. Future unlimited mate- rial has been taught the elements of the game on these teams. iUso many have been able to take an active part in athletics who would have been ineligible on the heavier weight teams. The Molecules, consisting of Captain Stead, Cox, Torson, Buzzard, Pfister, Railton, and Cherry, were a clever, hard-fighting squad. They ran up 434 points to 332 of their opponents. The opponents were such teams as Columbia Park Boys, Poly Hi, Tech, and University Hi. The Atoms, consisting of Captain Morrison, Betz, Tobin, Hovi, An- derson, Morrison, and de Cure, were organized later and proved to be marvels. They Avon the preliminary to the Stockton game from Oakland High, 12-3. Their scores: 79; Opponents, 44. PRELIMINARY GAMES Berkeley 28 — Mt. Diablo 16 Berkeley guards allowed only two field goals. Fouls accounted for the score of Concord. Four teams showed up well. The guards were exceptionally strong and the shooting of the forwards was good for the first game of the season. Berkeley won the tip-offs and the centers exhibited great form. Berkeley 23 — Oakland Technical 22 The team journeyed to Oakland with a small following and robbed Tech of a victory by one point. The game was closely contested throughout the conflict. Close guarding on both sides forced the forwards to hazard long shots in which the Berkeley men excelled. Nearly every one of the squad was tried and a wealth of material discovered. Berkeley 33 — Polytechnical 11 Berkeley ' s team work had begun to develop. At no time did Poly threaten Berkeley ' s basket. Short, accurate passing, well placed shots, and a reliable defense were the features of this fast game. San Francisco ' s basketball players were much larger than the B. H. S. men. Their weight averaged 170 pounds. Notwithstanding this, they were easy pickin ' s and Coach Smith substituted freely. Berkeley 21 — Stanford Freshmen 20 During the first half Berkeley ran up seventeen points to Stanford ' s three. Stanford ' s best men were put in the game in the second period which put Berkeley on the defense. The defense was a revelation. Stan- ford ' s strong team was unable to penetrate the five-man defense and the Berkeley team returned victorious. Berkeley 25 — Alumni 15 In a clean, sportsmanlike manner the present stars of Berkeley High demonstrated their prowess and good condition to past stars of the school. Teamwork was the difference between the two teams. Armstrong and Cowden showed flashes of their brilliant last-year ' s form. However, the defense tightened in the last half and lack of training began to show up. Attended by a large crowd with an abundance of good spirit, this game was a great success. LEAGUE GAMES Berkeley 45 — Hayward 17 The Hayward team invaded Berkeley with confidence. They had defeated Commerce High which in turn had defeated the Stanford Fresh- men by several points. They readily discovered their mistake, when, after the half gun had been shot, on the blackboard was seen the score Berkeley 20, Hayward 5. The Hayward quintet was dazed by the speed of their opponents. Berkeley outplayed them in every department of the game. Coach Smith even showed his contempt by sending the second team in for a workout. Berkeley 47 — Ml Diablo 14 Mt. Diablo had improved greatly since their first appearance, but Berke- ley had also improved. This game did not prove much of an attraction because of the lack of competition in the practice game. The game was more closely contested than the score would lead one to think. It was only in the last half that Berkeley proved its supremacy and ran up the big score. Berkeley 19 — Petaluma 18 When the team arrived at Petaluma they were greeted with acclama- tion. A special parade was held in their honor. During their stay in Petaluma they received nothing but courtesy and fair treatment in addi- tion to the battle of the season. The court was small and low. Only short shots could be made with accuracy. The teams were evenly matched. At half time the score was a tie. Petaluma led until the last few minutes, when the Berkeley rally overcame the lead and won the game. Berkeley 26 — Sequoia 21 Sequoia came to Berkeley determined to win the game. They did not win but they certainly put up a wonderful fight. The game was in doubt until the final gun. Sequoia used the five-man defense effectively. Berke- ley played their regular game. In the second half they also adopted the defensive game. The boys from Redwood City fought hard but the defensive game forced them to work the ball the length of the court. This proved too much for the Sequoia team. Berkeley 13 — Slockton 29 This game was the tragedy of the season. In the first half everything went well. Berkeley led 8 to 4. Stockton penetrated the defense in the second half. Captain Carver was disqualified because of fouls and Mof- fett ' s leg was giving him trouble. After the combination was broken, Stockton played a wonderful game. The Berkeley boys may have been outplayed but they were certainly not out-fought. Stockton proved their mettle by winning the State Championship from Alhambra High. .Baseball Season Bing Baseball awoke from his long slumber and came to life at Berkeley High this term. More pep and spirit were exhibited in this game this season than in any other season since King Baseball used to reign supreme at B. H. S. in the olden days. It is true that the team did not win every game, but the season was a huge success from the standpoint of the renewed interest displayed in the game by the school. The man responsible for this renaissance was Coach Jennings. Day after day he toiled on the diamond and instilled the finer points of the game into the boys. His theory that the only way a team can learn to play ball is to play games worked out well on all occasions. Many practice games were scheduled and by the time the league had started the team was in its full stride. Bud 1 ' Morse, veteran of two years, captained the team and got the necessary fight and pep out of the fellows to win the majority of their games. Frenchy de Carbonel took over the managerial affairs of the team and proved a valuable man to the team. THE TEAM ud Morse led the fellows in the fray and held down the keystone sack for the third year. Bud got every ounce of fight out of the boys and was the stonewall of the infield. He led the team in hitting and will, no doubt, be heard from later in baseball circles. Jimmy Dixon, nuf sed ! Jimmy, as on the gridiron, was the most brilliant player on the team. He played left field at the beginning of the season, but later was shifted to the pitcher ' s box. When he was on the mound, the enemy ' s batsmen wore a path back to their bench from the plate. He was also a heavy sticker and his bunts were the talk of the circuit. Frank Thatcher, another star of the gridiron, duplicated his football fame on the diamond, that of snatching the old pellet out of the ether. The veteran played the center garden and was one of the heaviest wielders of the club. Berkeley will lose a polished ball player in Frank. Fat Bliss, another football star, worked behind the log in big league style. Runners who stole bases from him were few and far between. His specialties were extra base clouts. Dick Cleverdon alternated in the outfield and behind the bat during Bliss ' absence. Dick was right there when it came to hitting the apple on the nose. Tommy Atchison filled up the difficult corner and grabbed the hot ones with ease. Tommy was the fighter of the team and came through with a hit in the pinch. He has another season. Harry Craviatto played shortstop in great style. His hitting and base- running were far aboye the average. Brown took care of the initial sack and on account of his reach grabbed the wild ones with ease without stepping oft the bag. The tall first sacker always came through with a click when needed. Mork was Berkeley ' s second best bet on the. mound. The southpaw was always steady and cool in the pinches. Wolf, Miller, and Combatalade were all pitchers of rare ability and were always on hand to take the mound. Dougery, Lien, and Robie of the basketball squad turned out after the basketball season and alternated in the outfield. The ball was lost in the well whenever it came to them and they were always good for a hit. Crawford, Stoops, and Rhodes were other members of the squad who showed up to advantage. A second team, a new thing at Berkeley High, scheduled many games with intermediate schools and others and won the majority of the games. The team was composed of the two Johnsons, Otter, Day, Emslie. H. Cleverdon, Kimball, Ferrier, Cevasco, and Cy Young. PRELIMINARY SEASON Berkeley High ' s 1922 baseball season was composed of almost thirty games with semi-pro, high school, and collegiate teams. Almost every high school nine in the Bay district that could put on a fast game was played by the Yellowjackets. The team was characterized throughout the preliminary season by an outfit which worked as a unit on the field and at bat. The progress of the team was considerably hampered by the flu, but after the Modesto game the team reached a stride that no high school team could overtake. Berkeley 2 — Oakland 1 With less than two weeks of intensive training the nine started the season out with a bang by taking down Oakland Hi, 2-1. The team looked mighty good for its first game. Berkeley 4 — St. Mary ' s 1 1 The team received its first setback at the hands of the Saints, 11-4, in a game replete with errors. Coach Jennings was getting a line on his team and made many substitutions. Two weeks later another game was played with the result that the Saints again won, 5-2. As was the case in the previous game, one bad inning on Berkeley ' s part lost the game. Berkeley 4 — Stanford Frosh 9 The Stanford yearlings took down the chuckers, 9-4. The team made a fair showing, considering the fact that four regulars were missing from the line-up. Berkeley 5 — Mission High 10 The flu hit the team hard, with the result that it was materially weakened and Mission Hi won, 10-5, in an uninteresting game. Berkeley ' s one bad inning did the work. Berkeley 12 — Wm. Warren 8 The Yellowjackets found their batting eye and thoroughly drubbed the Wm. Warren nine, 12-8. The Berkeley batters collected twenty hits. Bliss starred with the willow. Berkeley 2 — Sacramento 0 Coach Jennings ' charges shut out their visitors from the North, 2-0, in a pitchers ' duel. Dixon on the mound only allowed two scattered hits. Things looked good for a successful season, but it was plain that a great deal of practice was necessary. Berkeley 4 — California Frosh 6 Breaks of the game in favor of the Bear Cubs in the final innings of the game netted them two runs and won them the game, 6-4. The B. H. S. team displayed clever base-running and bunting. Berkeley 6 — Lowell 2 The tossers took the measure of the visitors from across the bay, 6-2, in a game characterized by innumerable errors on the part of the losers. Dixon and Mork on the mound for Berkeley allowed only five hits. Berkeley 8 — Oakland 1 1 The second game with Oakland went to the latter, 11-8. The back- bone of the team was missing. Morse, Dixon, Thatcher, and Bliss were out of the lineup, and Berkeley was practically playing her second nine. BASEBALL RALLY Berkeley 4 — Modesto 1 Berkeley, playing stellar ball with Dixon doing the hurling, took the Modesto farmers down the line, 4-1. The game was characterized by clever bunting and fast base-running. Coach Jennings 1 aggregation had at last reached its stride and it was evident that it would be a hard bunch to stop. Berkeley 9 — University Hi 0 Dixon shut out the old rivals from Oakland, 9-0, in a one-sided contest. The team performed in machine-like style which consistently sent the Red and Gold tallies over the rubber. Two weeks later the Oakland outfit again challenged the B. H. S. tossers with the result that they were again unmercifully shut out, 9-0. Berkeley 2 — Davis Farm 1 The Yellowjackets nosed out the U. C. farmers in a closely contested game, 2-1. Thatcher drove in both of Berkeley ' s runs. The team dis- played a well-balanced outfit on the field and at bat. Berkeley 1 — Fremont 5 A week ' s lay-off, coupled with Coach Jennings ' desire to save the boys for the league game, contributed to Fremont ' s victory, 5-1. Dixon pitched four innings, with the result that Fremont gathered one hit, but Dixon was taken out to be saved for the Hayward game. Berkeley 14 — Oakland Tech 3 The Yellowjackets completely humiliated the Tech nine, 14-3. The enemies were snowed under an avalanche of 16 hits. With this game the preliminary season was closed and the team was ready to cross bats with Hayward for its first league game. A. C. A. L. GAMES Berkeley 6 — Hayward 2 Berkeley Hi took the opener of the league, 6-2, from the corn huskers in a well-played exhibition of the diamond sport. Dixon pitched airtight ball, letting the enemies down to four scattered blows. Berkeley 7 — Alameda 1 By virtue of a 7-1 decisive licking over Alameda, the A. C. A. L. champions resided in Berkeley for the first time since 1912. The Yellow- jacket hive exploded early in the game and swarmed the bases. In the second inning Morse tripled with the bases loaded. Thatcher cracked out a homer in the third frame and almost duplicated the stunt by a couple of inches, when he was thrown out in a close play at home. Mork twirled for the champions and was never in danger of being scored upon, except in the ninth inning, when the mud flatters put over a tally. As this article goes to press Berkeley stands ready to challenge the winner of the Contra Costa County League and bids fair for the state bunting. Track, 1922 = iie Track season of 1922 has been a highly successful season. The wearers of the Winged B have won every meet in which they entered and eight of their number qualified in the C. I. F. meet at Stockton. The North Coast meet was a Berkeley victory, Berkeley winning bv many points. The thing that helped most in making the season such a success was the willingness of the fellows to work and to train in earnest. Coach Hunt has developed from just a few veterans a winning team. At the beginning of this season it was doubtful whether Berkeley would be able to fulfill her extensive schedule or not because of the poor showing in interclass, but the fellows who did come out did exceptionally well, as can be seen bv the scores of the meets. This season B. H. S. took on champion teams of different sections, such as Sacramento and Modesto. The tracksters also showed up well against the Stanford Frosh and without doubt they can claim to be cham- pions of the bay region because of their easy victory over the Oakland schools. The season was one of the most successful Berkeley has had for years. This was due to Coach Hunt in part, to the eagerness of the team to compete, to the manager, and to other features of co-operation that make for success. THE TEAM One of the big essentials needed in a track team is training, another is fight. Both of these were instilled into the fellows this year by Coach Hunt. The Track Team of 1922 is the last Berkeley High team to be coached by Mr. Hunt. His efforts were not in vain, for the tracksters cleaned up the big North Coast meet, a thing which a Berkeley team hasn ' t done for several years. As a last good word in appreciation of Coach Hunt, the fellows want to say that he was the better half of the team. Now to introduce the other half of the Track team : Captain Otis Orme is now attempting to break the world ' s record in the mile run. Not many years and that will come true, for Captain Orme is a phenomenal miler as well as a spectacular half miler. Orme has made college time throughout the season and should make a name for himself in college. The next phenom to be introduced is Clayton Smith. Several years from now the announcer at the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet will announce the results of the 440 in this way: Clayton Smith has just established a new record in the 440, breasting the tape at 40 flat and beating out Hendrix- son, Jr., by mere inches. Johnnie Clymer will say in future years to Jo Jr., Yep, I used to run a mean low hurdle race and, say, I used to run the century and the furlong pretty fast, but I like canoeing much better than any of these events, as a matter of fact I always took Friday afternoons off to paddle a bit. John deserves lots of credit for his running and he has been a sure-place man all season. Surely B. H. S. had an all-round team. B. H. S. even had an all- round athlete: Gene Stirling was his name. In the meets his shoes caught fire as he ran madly from one event to another, capturing first places. Stirling was best in the pole vault, though he did the shot put, the javelin, and the discus with almost equal ability. Jimmie Dixon, between baseball spasms, came out and took points for Berkeley in track. Jim won the broad jump in the N. C. S. Christie was heard to say that a distance man was either crazy, or a fool. Therefore Bill Herms was one of these, because he ran either the 880 or the mile. (Bill Herms wrote this himself.) A track man with high ambitions was Philip Cook. He needed every bit of his height when he ran the high hurdles, his race. Smith had an understudy who may prove to be his rival at the I. C. 4 A ' s. Pratt, a scrub, with long legs and wonderful endurance, is the man. Russia Post used his weight and Russian strength to advantage when he heaved that discus. Post persuaded the disc out for a win in most all the meets. The slim duet will now give an exhibition of how to clear the bar. Al Langford and Cannon are two fellows with exceptional spring and ability in the high jump. They both will be on duty again next season. Ben Schooler could be spelled s-p-r-i-n-g, for this chap can jump his height and also jump some distance in the broad jump. McKenna was handy man, capturing points here and there where they were needed. Graham ran a nice quarter, and Zarley shows promises of being a sprinter. Lewis and White both were distance men who were sure of places in most of the meets. Al Miller was one of the few field men. He heaved the discus to best advantage. The 120-pound boys in track win meets for Berkeley and few people realize it. Shaw was the best 120-pound runner garnering five points in the 8-pound shot consistently. Brown was also a consistent winner, gen- TIPPY-CANOE erally doing best in the 220. Kinney also was a good man in the 120-pounders. Takahashi competed in the 120 ' s and also did the broad jump. THE MEETS he B. H. S. rooters have missed the treat of seeing their B. V. D. boys perform this season, so the Pod will attempt to give a short summary of their work. Inter-class Track Meet. Middlers, 95; Seniors, 65; Scrubs, 15 In this meet the middlers foxed the mi ghty seniors by easily winning the meet. The seniors, patriotically, claim that this means a good track team next year and in all probability the seniors will be right, for a large number of this vear ' s victorious squad will return again next term. The showing in this meet was poor, but just glance at the rest of these meets and you ' ll forget the poor showing here. Stanford Frosh, 91; Berkeley, 25; Oakland, 9; Technical, 1 The above is a good starter for a real season. The cinder men took on the Stanford Babes. The Berkeley fellows were outclassed by the older and more experienced tracksters. B. H. S. made by far the best High School showing against the Cardinals. It took all the Frosh had to win several of the events. For example, Orme ran the Cardinal ragged and was only beaten by a yard. The same was true in Smith ' s event. Berkeley, 70; Technical, 47; Fremont, 27 This meet was one of the only two held on the Cal Track and its purpose was more for a tryout for the Berkeley crew for the A. C. A. L. meet which was to come the following week. The meet was practically unexciting from start to finish. The team had their own way in practically all events, taking the firsts while the Oakland schools filled in the second and third places. Berkeley, 86; Alameda, 73 — A. C. A. L. This meet held the coveted A. C. A. L. title at stake and for a time it looked as if Berkeley would lose this meet for the first time in years. The same thing appeared to put Berkeley on top again and that was the fact that they garnered the needed five points from the first place, allowing Alameda to complete their points on left-overs. The real difference between the teams was shown in the N. C. S. meet, where Alameda took only 6 points. This was the last meet at home and many a fair damsel lost her chance to see her Romeo skip over the cinders, and so forth. Berkeley, 61; Sacramento, 47; Woodland, 10 Berkeley encountered a mighty wind in this meet, but managed to conquer both wind and track opponents. The big feature of the meet was the hurdle races, because they were unable to run them. The wind was so strong that it blew the sticks over. An interesting fact is that Sacra- mento, the closest competitor, will be one of the schools to finish highest in the Northern Section meet. Most races were close, furnishing the Davis farmers, who were spectators, some variety in their life. N. C. S. — Berkeley, 42 This meet proved to be the largest of its kind in the entire state this year. About 250 fellows participated for honors. The Stanford oval was the place. April 15 was the day that the Berkeley squad had waited for to prove to Coach Hunt that they appreciated his efforts for Berkeley High. Th is is the first time for many years that a Berkeley team has taken a North Coast meet and it surely seems fitting to see the last team that Coach Hunt has turned out do this. Two records went by the board, one in the half mile and the other in the discus throw. The big event for Berkeley was the relay, where the flying Mercuries won easily, just coming within a margin of breaking the record. Berkeley, 83 ; Santa Cruz, 67 To give the team a rest after the big meet, Coach Hunt arranged a meet with a weaker team. It wasn ' t, however, until the last few events that Berkeley was sure of their victory. The Santa Cruz runners pulled several surprises, thus making close competition. The Santa Cruz people made quite a bit over the meet because B. H. S. had won the N. C. S. meet and Santa Cruz figured to win their little league. wimming, 1922 CHE 1922 Swimming season may be registered in Berkeley High his- tory as a stellar success. Under Coach Eugene C. Golden the exceptionally talented material was developed into an all-star aggregation. The usual number of experienced veterans formed the nucleus of the new team. They assisted the less experienced candidates by teaching them the tricks of the trade. Wonderful improvements were made by many of the younger men of last year ' s squad. The team was well balanced, no event being weaker than the rest. Also no event stood out as stronger than any other event. Every man of the squad trained conscientiously and developed himself to the best of his ability. This also applies to the fellows who did not compete in the meets but tried out and aided the team by their competition. Although only five preliminary meets have been held as the Pod goes to press, the showing against such teams as the California Freshmen and Lowell High assures the school that a state championship can be expected unless an unexpected catastrophe keeps the boys from doing their best. Berkeley ' s Mermen and Coach Golden deserve much credit for their good work and, with the school behind them, they deserve to win. THE TEAM he men of the swimming team deserve great credit. Coach Golden says of them: The spirit of co-operation and determination to win was as apparent in the daily practices as in actual competition. It was this spirit that made the team a success. As long as this spirit exists in Berkeley High the teams will be successful. The 1922 swimming team has done much in furthering and developing this sought-for spirit. Captain Seaborn says of the team : This year ' s team is the best that has represented the school for many years. They deserve to win and with the school ' s support they will win the state championship. The individuals of the team: Captain L. Seaborn, in addition to leading the team, was the most reliable and consistent performer on the team. He swam the 50, the 100, the 50 backstroke, and the relay. He could be depended upon in all these events. S. Glasson, the versatile merman, did the 440, the 220, and the relay in great form. Glasson made the longer races count for Berkeley. E. Sanders, one of the veterans, performed creditably in the 100-yard breaststroke race. Eric showed wonderful endurance in the harder races. C. Sayers featured in the sprints. Sayers is one of the fastest swimmers on this coast. He swam in the 130-pound class as well as in the unlimiteds. A. Watson made remarkable time in the 440. He paddled a consistent race and was one of the relay men. Watson is a hard worker. T. Beekhius is a game boy. He has been doing good work in the 220. His future is very promising, as he has two more seasons. G. Brown, another promising scrub, is expected to do great things. His sprinting finish is very spectacular and shows his quality. L. Cox, the stellar diver of the team, has improved his good form of last year and is a sure winner. B. Brown is the man who wins in the sprint. Nosing opponents out of the finish is his specialty. His breast stroke is perfect in form, a nd with his sprint he can be counted among the winners. B. Stewart a weight man, also swims in the crack relay team. His speed is phenomenal in one so young. With experience he will develop into a star. E. Sleeper, a diver of beautiful form and experience, is a hard worker. His performing is consistent, a rare thing in a diver. K. Blair, one of the larger boys, helped to make the plunge a strong event for Berkeley. His velocity in his event was remarkable. M. Doyle possesses the faculty of holding his breath for a minute at will. With his massive physique he made a star plunger. D. Wheeler, the third member of the plunging crew, was of the same quality as his teammates. Several times he held his breath over a minute. N. Edgar, another of the fast men, swam the 50 and the 100 yard dashes. He made a favorable showing at all times. Six of this year ' s team will not be eligible next year. Coach Golden is wisely planning and is developing the foundation which will make next year ' s team the equal of this season ' s champions. B. H. S. vs. CROCKETT MEETS Berkeley 32 — California Frosh 22 Che first meet of the season was a success from every standpoint. Unexpected material made excellent showings, and many of the old dependables had improved greatly. The freshmen entered only one man in each event, but the Berkeley boys proved their superiority in taking the relay. Everyone was gratified by the victory of the mermen. For the first time in several years a Berkeley team had beaten a California freshmen team in a swimming meet. Prophecies of championships were readily circulated. It was surely the best team Berkeley had developed in many years. Berkeley 62 — Lowell 32 An opportunity to compare the team with last year ' s performers was given the enthusiasts when Berkeley met Lowell High of San Francisco. Last year Lowell had defeated the B. H. S. team by half a point in a closely contested dual meet. Lowell was determined to duplicate the feat this year in the Y. M. C. A. tank. Berkeley desired to revenge the defeat. As a result the crowd of rioting rooters was given the opportunity of seeing a fight. Every event was hotly contested, and Berkeley proved to be the best team in every branch of the meet. GET SET. GO! Berkeley 55 — Poly 39 This meet was held at the Sutro baths in San Francisco. For the first time this season the B. H. S. men were on strange waters. The sodium chloride in the water failed to halt the team. Poly put forth a weaker team than Lowell and they were defeated with corresponding ease. Berkeley 44 — Crockett 5 The Crockett team, the unknown, proved to be an average prep school organization, whereas the Berkeley team was in prefect condition and rarin ' to go. Many of Berkeley ' s stronger events were not even con- tested by Crockett. As the score does not count in these events, the defeat was really complete. Crockett placed two third places and one second. Future Meets The A. C. A. L. will be a dual meet with Alameda High at Neptune Beach. Alameda ' s team is undoubtedly better than their team of last season. Last year Berkeley took the A. C. A. L. with ease. However, this year they will be worthy opponents and a battle royal may be expected. The North Coast will undoubtedly be held at Sutro in San Francisco. Stockton will probably be the competitor in this meet. Stockton defeated Berkeley last year, it will be remembered, at Stockton. They are now looming on the horizon as Berkeley ' s rival in athletics. This meet is sure to be close. If the swimming team does its best it should win by a margin. ith Capt. Chandler, John Hanscom, Roger Rhoades, and Fred Graham forming the nucleus of the tennis team, the outlook for a championship team looks most favorable. About forty aspirants for the team turned out for an early elimination tournament and furnished excellent competition for those who finally gained the coveted positions. When this article goes to press only one match, that with Cal Fresh- men, has been played. The match went to the Cal Frosh, but Capt. Chandler defeated Alec Wilson, the yearling ' s best singles man, who later won from Stanford ' s best first year man. This speaks well for Bud and he is expected to win the state title. The doubles team, which at present is composed of Chandler and Hanscom, is also slated to place far along the line. Coach Brewer, however, has arranged matches with Stanford Fresh- men, Fremont, and University Hi. It is hoped these may be played before the C. I. F. season. s ' Athletics School days, play days, Dear old G. A. A. days ! Basketball, hockey, and tenn ; s, too, Taught by our coach the whole year through; We ' ll welcome the scrub into our game, Help them all and be their friends, Make them eagerly watch the day When they join the G. A. A. ! he Girls ' Athletic Association under the faculty supervision of Miss „ Kelley, with Beryl McDavid as president, has made great progress this term. Every sport has been well worth while, and every class excel- lently represented. Aside from the regular after school sports, the Outing Club has featured largely in the list of G. A. A. activities this semester. This club is for those who wish to hike and with an eighty-mile schedule before them to accomplish, the girls have succeeded wonderfully in exploring the hiking- regions, finding new specimens and learning the difference between wild flowers and poison oak. Horseback riding, skating, and swimming are also features of the Outing Club. This gives every girl at B. H. S. the chance to be an active member of the G. A. A., for if she cannot remain after school for practices, she can gain G. A. A. points on week-ends, by skating, swimming or hiking. Basketball proved an excellent sport this semester. About eighty girls signed up for the sport, with a great percentage of them in regular attend- ance. Squads were picked on the basis of scholarship, attendance, health, and skill. After training for some time the teams were picked and those who were fortunate to make the teams were : L H 12 Anita Alysworth Gertrude Elms Esther Heidekker Beulah Howard Ruth Mell Christina Romero Laura Straub L H 11 L H 10 Edythe Underwood Delpha Stevens Ruth McCullough Esther Sadowiski Florence Bullard Dorothy Wells Lucille Needham Clara Hoff Elsie Hurt Dorothy Cartwright Edith Clymer Catherine Craig Valborg Heidekker Doris Hatch Dorothy Pleahu Carol Kidder Elizabeth Ludlow Audrey McKlevely The final games were very exciting, with the score a tie when the whistle blew. With time given for additional points the seniors claimed victorship over their opponents by two points. The seniors were then given the privilege to play the faculty team, consisting of Miss Helt, Miss Bennett, Miss Kelley, Miss Entz, Miss Akerman, Miss Hinkins, and Miss Alsop, at the G. A. A. spread. The scrubs again claimed the victory with a score of 13-5, although the faculty put up a good fight and showed a great deal of the genuine B. H. S. pep and enthusiasm. The faculty rooting section led by Miss Webb helped the team to win their five points. This spring has proved very encouraging to the tennis fans also. The beginners, as well as the intermediates and advanced, are many in number. The intermediate and advanced are playing off a perpetual tournament to determine the school champion. The beginners are learning rapidly and by next semester will be able to enter the intermediate division. Baseball has brought to light many would-be Babe Ruths, right in B. H. S. Those who are not afraid of a hard ball and enjoy the great American sport find great pleasure in this game. This sport has just started, but the turnout is so very encouraging that only the best team possible will be the result, for school champions. Perhaps the faculty will have to work even harder for their five points in this game. With every member co-operating and working toward a more perfect G. A. A., this association can not help but grow and its need and help are being felt more and more in the life of B. H. S. School days, play days, Dear old G. A. A. days ! Sport is not our only goal, Scholarship, too, is a standard we hold, To be earnest in work as we are in fun. The beautiful cup will urge us on, Loyal and helpful in every way, Girls of the G. A. A.! 9 2 2 IIIACK CIHPI=LL That ' s me all over, Mable, said Fat Bliss as the steam roller ran over him. Father, why are the students carrying their books to class today thev never did it before?

She: Oh, Edward, I always wet my stamps on Fido ' s nose. Daughter (admiring a set of mink skins from Father) : I can hardly realize that these beautiful furs came from such a small, sneaking beast. Father: I don ' t ask for thanks, my dear, but I must insist on respect. The very worst habit to get in your head Is to buy girls flowers before they are dead.

EXPLAINED The night was dark — as nights should be; The park was full — as parks will be; The bench was vacant — as benches ain ' t; But there was a reason — the sign, Fresh Paint. JUST 75 YEARS FROM NOW. As we enter upon the 49th day of the year 1997, we are pleased to announce that our new Swimming Pool and Gym have been completed. Swimming pool ! Ah, those words make our hearts pump fast with joy. There is hardly a person who remembers that last memorable drive that the students of Berkeley High conducted with the slogan, Pull for our pool, way back in the year 1922. Perhaps the things that we like best are the conveniences connected with it, such as: On one side, for those who have colds, we find a hot lemonade plunge and for those who desire cold refreshment, iced lemonade tanks. Each girl has a dressing room of her own, provided with automatic undressers and dressers, equipped with electric powder puffs. Other conveniences are downy couches, heated towels, and perfumed showers. To provide each student with proper exercise, there are a large number of flying runabouts. We appreciate the farsightedness of those of 1922 who realize that these things are necessary to any well-rounded high school pupil. A lady bought a ticket at the box office of a movie show to see an Oriental picture. As she entered the theater she said to the usher, I smell punk. Usher: That ' s all right, lady; you can sit in an upper box. SAFE A negro was trying to saddle a fractious mule when a bystander asked: Doesn ' t that mule ever kick you, Sam? No, suh, but he sometimes kicks where I ' se jes ' been. GOOD ONE ON FATHER Jimmy: Pa, before slates were invented people did their sums on the ground, didn ' t they? Father: Why do you think that? Jimmy: Well, we read that people multiplied on the face of the earth.

A man to make faces in a watch factory. A LITTLE HINT TO ALL WHO KNOW NOT A little explanation in regard to the new building is necessary for all interested readers. The front steps of our new building were made wide and expansive, first, so that Fat O ' Brien would have plenty of room to entertain all his lady admirers; second, so that there would be a suitable stage for all fashion displayers who promenade for the benefit of the boys ' bench across the street. The office was contructed opposite the front entrance for obvious reasons; all social meetings on the steps may be thus eliminated. Another explanation seems necessary. As to the object of the roof garden — well, that ' s over our heads. It seems to be a place for girls to hold suffragette meetings and, incidentally, it is a place to dispose of lunches. We hope you have benefited by these helpful explanations. 1 gave her many kisses, But still she cried for more, And I couldn ' t give her any For we ' d passed the candy store. ...V. Puppy love is the beginning of a dog ' s life. ON FRIDAY NIGHT She: Oh, John, you are so tender tonight. He : I ought to be. I ' ve been in hot water all week at school. Fellow Dubs : What kind of sensation does it give you when the girl you are with says: Oh, I must be in before 10:30 tonight or I shall have to be in early Saturday. (And you haven ' t got a date with her that night, either.) I ' ll be able to make both ends meet, wheezed the butcher as he chased the cat down the alley. Conductor: Watch your step, Miss. Sophie : It isn ' t necessary, there are several sapheads behind doing that. TOO MUCH AT ONCE The man had just informed the Pullman agent that he wanted a Pullman berth. Upper or lower? asked the agent. What ' s the difference? asked the man. A difference of fifty cents in this case, replied the agent. The lower is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower. If you want it lower, you ' ll have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. In other words, the higher the lower. Most people don ' t like the upper, although it is lower on account of its being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down when you get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. The upper is lower than the lower because it is higher. If you are willing to go higher it will be lower. But the poor man had fainted. PLEASING MIRACLES WHEN Teacher forgets about the ex? You find a dime in the pocket of last year ' s suit? Mrs. Mathewson doesn ' t see you talking? Pop Smith tells about his Princeton days? Mrs. Weir: Give a sentence with the word ruthless. Dougery : Every team in the American League except the Yankees is Ruthless. Little boy: Paw, where do jail-birds come from? Paw : They are raised by larks, bats, and swallows, my son. My supper ' s cold! He swore with vim. And then she made it Hot for him.

Solemnly he gazed for the last time into the grave, then said, Oh, Brother Jones, we hopes you is where we specs you ain ' t.
