Class History Chat dim, far-distant Future, which we looked forward to as freshmen, has finally become the Present. 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.
