There art-many reasons for congratulating teachers and students on their good work. Scholarship standards have been maintained both in the school and in higher institutions of learning to which our graduates have gone. The reports which have come back to us from these colleges have been highly satisfactory, showing both good training in this school and continued application on the part of our graduates. We have kept up our splendid records in all student activities. Our debating and typewriting teams have won honors; our athletes have been uniformly successful; our dramatic students have put on high class plays with great success; our student publications have been maintained on a high plane; and our student body officials, as represented in the Board of Control, the Girls' Association, the Citizenship Committee, and the Park Department, have carried through many important measures for the comfort and happiness of the students. They have succeeded in keeping conduct and good citizenship up to the high standard which Berkeley High School always endeavors to maintain. In the one instance where there appeared to be a lack of good sportsmanship on the part of some of our students, measures were immediately taken by our student body officials to make the proper amends, and an incident which might have caused trouble between two schools was so used as to bring about a better understanding and a more friendly feeling than had existed before. We must never allow mere winning of victories to become the important thing in our minds. Good sportsmanship, which combines giving the best you have in trying to win with the willingness to accept defeat gracefully, must prevail in our student body. We must always remember that students from other schools are our guests and they must be shown every courtesy and consideration which the laws of hospitality demand. We must not allow any discourtesy to be shown them bv our own students or by outsiders who, for the occasion, may wish to be our partisans. Berkeley High School has a good reputation for hospitality throughout the State and we must all make it our business to maintain it. I congratulate you all! C. L.

LONG JOHN WARREN Editor Manager 111 Appreciation IT 11 the publication of this OLLA PODRIDA we wish to express our appreciation of the help of the following people whose efforts have made possible the success of this issue: To Mrs. Weir, our faculty adviser, whose practical advice and untiring efforts have done more than anything else to complete this volume. To Miss Marshall, who has inspired and handled the art work so well. To Miss Roberts, whose direction of the photographic work has been invaluable. To Mr. Bartholomew whose business advice has been of great help. To Mr. McCullagh and the firm of Lederer, Street Zeus, with whom our business relations have been most pleasant. To those students and members of the faculty whose co-operation has made possible the sale of this issue of the OLLA PODRIDA. Earle N. Long John Warren WEEKLY NEWS STAFF POD STAFF ART STAFF The Weekly News another term the Weekly News has functioned suc-ssfully as the record of our activities, an announcer coming events, and a school product. We are proud the fact that it is not supported by dues or subscrip-ms, but that it is independent. We owe this to our ertisers. To the journalism class goes much credit for their able editorials and articles which appear in the Weekly News. This weekly paper is one of Berkeley High's oldest traditions. Throughout its existence it has contained news of coming and past events, editorials from the students to the students, jokes, announcements, news of alumni, and all of those things which interest a wideawake and growing student body. Through the exchange of papers with other schools, and through our own students, the Weekly News goes to all parts of the country. It is read and quoted bv other schools. It is representative. Realizing this, each new staff begins a new semester with the determination of making the paper reflect truly the activities and the standards of our school. HIS term has been most successful due to the efforts of the students in backing up the different activities of the semester. Championship Day was held on the second Friday of the term. The day had a double significance this term: a day of welcome to the incoming students and a day for honoring the football champions of last term. The way the students supported Championship Day and also backed up the basketball team under unfortunate circumstances is significant of the fact that B. H. S. spirit improves as the years roll by. Student committees have been looking into such matters as ticket booths and more gates into the athletic field, permanent bleachers, and the question of turfing the field. It is hoped that we shall have all of these improvements in the near future. The officers of the A. S. B. H. S. wish to take this opportunity to extend their thanks to the faculty and the students for their co-operation which made possible such a successful term. We feel that with increased opportunities and the same old school spirit, the coming days will find Berkeley High not only with the usual athletic laurels but also with the respect of other schools for scholastic records and the high ideals she has always maintained.

Lucile Dougherty Song Leader... Lorraine Drury The Girls' Association was started in 1912 because of the need of something to create more friendly relations among the girls. The Girls' Association has supplied that need through the practice of its motto, “Friendship ami Service. The work of the association is carried on through its various committees. The Social Committee has successfully handled the Freshman Reception, the Senior bare-well, and the Mothers’ Teas. These give the girls a chance to become better acquainted and tend toward creating a happier school life. The Social Service Committee co-operated with the charitable organizations of Berkeley. This committee provides for two girls to go to the Day Nursery, each school day, to help the matron. Under its three sub-divisions, this committee provides: clothing made from material furnished by the Red Cross; food delicacies for the needy and for Government hospitals; and scrapbooks for the Day Nursery children. Each term the association makes some gifts to the school. ||Tlie “Big B” Society Presi dent........................JACK M UR PM Y Fice-President......................THOMAS DEE Secretary.........................ALTON HOOPER Faculty Adviser...................H. YV. JENNINGS ME Big “B” Society of Berkeley High has always encouraged the right kind of school spirit in all school activities, especially in athletics. It is doing so now and plans to continue doing so in the future. In the history of the school, clean play has always been displayed in athletic contests held and promoted by Berkeley High. In recent years this has been done largely through the efforts of the Big “B Society which is under the control and supervision of the faculty adviser, Mr. Jennings. Inter-advisory competition in all sports is carried out under the approval and direction of this group. To become a member of this honor society, one must display athletic ability in some sport which the High School recognizes. This honor is possible for many of the students.

This semester, Tom Hutton, chairman of the Park Department, successfully worked out a general cleanup campaign. Six advisories a week made it their business to see that papers and other unsightly articles were put in the right place. Nearly all the work of improving the school grounds is done on Senior Labor Day, when each senior, of which there are a great many this semester, spends one whole day in manual labor on the school premises. Their work is rewarded by a luncheon and a dance. The Park Department consists of one member from each High Senior advisory, twelve in all this term: Austin Speery, Russell Minor, Warren Barton, Tom Hutton, Merrick Bryant, George Kimball, Muriel Heywood, Eda Turner, Louise Craviotto, Geraldine Searcy, Velma Harner, Marjorie Scranton. Mr. Taylor, the faculty adviser, and these students arc to be commended on the way they took up the work. The school as a whole is grateful to the present Park Department and wishes good luck to their successors. The Forum HE closing of this semester finds Berkeley High again listed as one of the two schools qualified to compete for the Tri-City League championship in debating. Oakland High will be our opponent in this deciding event and after their remarkable record of losing only one debate in this past Tri-City scries, a very close and spirited contest may be expected. Berkeley High debaters have worked hard and faithfully during the past year and well deserve this final opportunity accorded them. Those who participated were: Helen Damon, Adabelle Hitch, Frances Lamb, Dana Champion, Harry Cobden, Reginald Gordon, Richard Newmeyer, and John Reese. The coveted positions on the championship team have been awarded to Adabelle Hitch and John Reese. The officers were: Frances Lamb, President; Commissioners: Adabelle Hitch, John Reese, and F arle Long. The Forum had representation in Student Body affairs through its Commissioner of Records, Adabelle Hitch, member of the Board of Control, and enjoyed excellent publicity through its Publicity Commissioner, Earle Long, Editor of the Weekly News and OLLA PODRIDA. THE POETRY CLUB TO A METEOR Out of that blackness of midnight, Out of the realm of ancients, long-lost, Came soaring and beaming, With fire all a-glcaming, A meteor twisted and tossed. Fleeing from regions eternal. Its celestial domain of night, Like a ghost of the ages From History’s pages ’Midst a fury of blazing light. Down, down ever nearer The outline now clearer It sputters anti fumes and breathes heat. Then a Hash! All is darkness And Night, once again, I lolds Earth, enslaved, at her feet. Emma L. Nash DESERT Desert night—a night of heat— Stars flashing far above— File moonlight brilliant— Inky blackness of the pools of shadow. Adobe houses clustered Like pebbles on a beach— l iny things in an immensity That all men love but fear. From one house-top gleam Red, yellow signal flames— Bright splotches jewel-like Against the sky, that deep but brilliant setting. Miriam Craig Rallies r HAS been shown this semester, probably more than ever before, what real B e r k e 1 ey High spirit is. This season has been one of the few that has not turned out a team which has gone far toward State Championship. Berkeley this year was unable to defeat the strong Piedmont five for the Alameda County title, and yet we can be justly proud that this year’s basketball team has been supported even better in defeat than the teams of past years have been supported in victory. The spirit of our first get-together on “Championship Day” was typical of the spirit shown in backing up our football team which won the State Championship last year. The next rally came the morning of the third Piedmont game and seemed to serve the purpose of dispelling the disheartened atmosphere so prevalent among the members of the team and the student body at the last game. The spirit shown at the game was better than ever before and established Berkeley’s reputation as a game loser as well as a good winner. The Spring Sports Rally served its purpose in introducing and encouraging enthusiasm for Spring Sports. Tom McCord and Wendell Witter have been assistants who are deserving of much praise for their interest in the work and their willingness to help put things over. All in all the students are to be congratulated for the fine way they have co-operated with the yell leaders and supported the teams this season. Jack Dempsey Tom McCord Wendell Witter Jack Dempsey Championship Day NCE more we found something new, something different for our semi-annual welcoming day. This semester Championship Day was decided upon as an appropriate name and an appropriate time to give out those much sought for big “BY' to our champion football players. A bleacher rally started a happy afternoon. Several skits were given from a platform erected in front of the bleachers. These skits livened things considerably for the grand climax when the football players assembled to receive their “BY Of course the class superiority was decided by the interclass brawls and the poor and lonely low scrubs rose to great heights when they were able to defeat the high scrubs in the bloody tieup. The high-middlers defeated the low-middlers and the high and low Seniors battled to a tie in their scrimmage game. The scrimmage was fast and exciting but superiority was left undecided in an unsettled tic, 4 to 4. The street in front of the academic building was the scene of the dance and a great many students participated. Girls’ Reception )OMlN(i into the semi-darkness of the auditorium where all the curtains were pulled down, after having been in the bright sunlight, blinded us for a moment or two. Gradually, we could discern figures moving through the room, countless numbers of figures all hurrying for a good scat. Finally everyone had found her friend, and we scrubs were all in the proper section looking sweet and pretty and our dignified Senior sisters were looking at us from the other reserved section. The appearance of Elizabeth Gren, our G. A. president, put a stop to further conversation. She welcomed the new girls and announced the skit that was to be presented. For this, you know, was the first G. A. event of the semester and is known as the Scrub Reception. The skit is always entertaining and then each scrub goes upon the stage to get a favor. This time it was a little doll. Each Senior took one of us to the gym and there all the girls danced and drank excellent punch. This reception is an event at which the girls all feel that spirit of friendliness and good will that makes the G. A. a living factor in our school life. A Scrub Boys’ Dinner HILE this edition of the POD is going to press the Boys' Dinner is being planned by the President and the Board of Control. This event which was started with the advent of the present cafeteria, has been looked forward to as one of the outstanding features of the term. The main purpose for these Boys' Dinners is to promote the spirit of good fellowship in the school and to bring the boys of the student body into one big unit. The dinner will be in honor of Mr. Hole who is leaving for Lodi High School to coach their athletics. The speaker of the evening will probably be former President Barrows of the University of California. It is the aim of the committee in charge of the program to invite some speaker of prominence who will have an uplifting influence on the boys and aid them in forming their ideals for life.

This year the “Two Gentlemen of Verona” was chosen which, so far as we know, has never before ben given by a high school, and is seldom staged. The several departments of the school have contributed to this presentation. The dramatic interpretation class of the English Department is responsible for the training of the cast and for the general direction of the play. The costumes were designed by the costume design class of the Art Department and made by the sewing classes of the Domestic Arts Department. rhe scenery and properties were designed by the stage craft class of the Art Department. The lighting effects of the play were directed bv the Science Department. The music, which had been specially selected to harmonize with the needs of the several acts, was rendered by the High School Orchestra. All these departments united in their endeavor to present this comedy of youth with simplicity and sincerity, and in changeful moods to suggest this quotation: “The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all the beauty of the sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away I The G. A. Play The “Man in the Bowler Hat was presented on the mornings of March 26 and 27 during the advisory period. The high standard set by previous plays was kept up by this semester’s production, and credit is due both to Miss Coffin, who coached the play, and to the actors who showed unusual talent in portraying their parts.

John Sturgis Vaudeville HE twenty-fifth semi-annual Vaudeville was held on the evenings of February 27 and 28. The Vaudeville is one of the oldest traditions of Berkeley High School, and one of which we are proud. It not only serves to raise money which is always spent on school improvements, but it furnishes an outlet for original talent in many lines. All other productions arc more limited in their scope, both as to material presented and the number of participants. These reasons have been sufficient to make the Vaudeville successful during many years. Looking back over past programs, one recognizes names of students whose sisters and brothers appear in later programs, families that have carried the tradition down from semester to semester. The spring Vaudeville of 1925 was opened by the orchestra with “Patrol Comique.” The first skit was “One Two Many,1' managed by John ( Ren. A clever plot which involved a family and two friends was worked out before the audience. Of course, radio played a part, while Vernon, with his monocle, a burglar, and a frightened husband deserve mention. A real scream was added, too. “A Rest Within Bars” was then presented. Its manager, John Lees, stuttered until the audience longed to help him. A second inmate played the “Goliwog Cakewalk on the “pianner that the Ladies’ Aid Society left some ten years ago. Several vocal solos were accompanied by some clever side-plays, while the sheriff clogged and played. “Pullman People,” directed by Lawrence Irwin, took place in a train, as the title suggests. It opened with a cross-word puzzle enthusiast, and a sleepy porter. A certain young lady with winsome ways woke the porter and the other occupants on the train, including Napoleon. In the end, everyone else was after everyone else and we had another cross-word puzzle. “Moonlight Mischief was presented by the Girls’ Glee Club under the direction of Elizabeth Clifford. Here all the animals came out under the influence of the moonlight magic, and performed. A troup of wicked pirates sang, danced, and plotted. The cats clogged, goliwogs walked, the owl sang, the dog barked. During the following intermission the orchestra played “Selections from Woodland.” In the “Enchanted Garden, managed bv Elizabeth Green, the audience was carried hack to olden times. An old couple sang of their youth, a dancer entertained, and several couples danced the old-fashioned minuet. The sixth number was “Bringing Up Father, managed by Faythc Winchester. A whole troup of well-known comic people were brought to life. We soon recognized Jiggs, Maggie, Rosie, Felix, Toots, Casper, and Buttercup. Jiggs started the day wrong by forgetting his wife's birthday. Other troubles followed thick and fast when Maggie lost her temper. Dugan sent home corn-becf-and-cabbage. Buttercup pulled Felix’s tail, but it all came out right in the end. “Say It With Songs was the Boys' Glee Club skit. It was made up of chorus work, interspersed with good solos. This number was concluded with the new Berkeley High song. Much credit is due many people who did not appear upon the stage cither night of the performance. Among them are those who managed the Vaudeville: general manager, Kenneth Beebe; stage manager, David Chick; property manager, Bert McCord; electricians, Marshall Mathicson and Homer Gentry. There are also coaches who did much before the performance, and the ushers: Bertha Clymcr, Jean Kramer, Alice Lyscr, Henrietta McLean, Cordelia Jones, Dorothy Dcrleth, Barbara Mcrvy, and Myrtle Moon.

Without doubt it may be said that without Coach Hole, Berkeley could not have gone as far as she did in the race for state title. Coach Hole has been at B. H. S. for three years and Berkeley High has been proud of such a coach. It is with greatest regret that we find he is to leave Berkeley to coach Lodi, our football rivals last year. The season opened with hut two veterans as a nucleus, Captain Cooney, and Roger Sears. This did not seem to hinder Coach Hole for he immediately welded into shape new material with the result that Berkeley soon had a smooth-running, fast, and elusive team. Captain Cooney and “Rog” Sears were the mainstays of the team. “Red Kress, Ralph Pidgeon, and “Sill Williams (next year's captain) also showed up well. This was one of the best teams Berkeley has had in years. The fight for positions kept these men stepping to hold their berths. Berkeley was early obsessed with hard luck and it seemed to follow the team all season. First came the question of “Rog Sears’ eligibility, then Captain Cooney was declared ineligible, and Ralph Pidgeon was forced to leave school because of sickness. The responsibility of carrying on the rest of the season was left to the subs: Jack Murphy, Heinie Hart, and Ken Beebe. They did splendidly considering the difficulties they had to overcome and were beaten by Piedmont only after putting up a hard battle. Berkeley would have fared much better if she had had better luck. Piedmont lost to Napa in one of the final games. This year's team made an impression on everyone and we shall not soon forget the spirit, fight, and gameness it possessed. The student body also deserves a great deal of credit for the way it supported the team. Not a game was played without a number of loyal rooters in attendance. The girls were found in great numbers at the games and were easily as enthusiastic as the boys in team support. BASKETBALL SQUAD Although Berkeley did not make a clean sweep in all her games this year, everyone feels that the season could not be termed a failure. When in the right condition, Berkeley defeated the best of them and when sickness and other difficulties hit the team the subs filled the regulars’ shoes in splendid fashion. The prospects for next season look exceedingly bright. Six of the twelve on the squad this year will report again next spring. Captain Eld red Cooney was one of the brightest lights on the team. His experience coupled with his usual brilliant playing made him a good captain and leader. Opposing forwards found him hard to penetrate. He will graduate before next season. Roger Sears, the other veteran from last year, was a very valuable player. He was one of the best shots on the team and was high point man in most of Berkeley’s games. { Ic is lost to next year’s team. Playing this year for the first time, Ralph Pidgeon was a fast and elusive player. His dribbling was one of his best achievements. Many times he dribbled through entire opposing teams. He will report next season. Robert Williams, a sub from last year's squad, developed rapidly. In fact he played so well this season that he has been chosen to serve as captain for next year. “Red Kress, a forward, played well. He started in nearly all the games which Berkeley played. He will he a great loss. Henry Hart, Berkeley’s hard luck athlete, finally received his chance and took it. He had lots of fight and speed beside a good eye. He played hard and clean. “Heine is a high senior. Jack Murphy got his chance in the last Piedmont game and was the star of the game for Berkeley. Even though Berkeley lost we shall not forget this game because of Jack’s playing. His loss will be felt next year. Jack Bateman was considerably hindered by lack of weight but even so he made the larger men fight for their positions. Ken Beebe, Bob Bartlett, George Howard, and Dick Scarlett were the other men on the squad and often thev were seen in the game. Bob Bartlett, a low scrub, seems likely material. He should do well next season. Ken Beebe and George Howard both graduate this June. 'Piie Games Berkeley 1J—Martinez 22 In the first game of the season Berkeley got ofT to a poor start. Martinez surprised the Berkeley boys and before Berkeley realized what was happening, Martinez in the first half piled up nineteen points to Berkeley's five. The second half Berkeley settled down and allowed Martinez only three points but her early lead was too much to overcome. The Berkeley team had started practice only three days before the game. This may account for their inconsistent playing. Berkeley IQ—Alumni 21 Although Berkeley lost this game, they had improved greatly over the previous game. Their teamwork, shooting, passing and allround playing showed the results of practice. The game was a tight one. First one, then the other would lead with neither team showing superiority. Most of the Alumni players were members of last year’s championship team. Scars played exceedingly well for Berkeley while it was hard to pick an individual star on the Alumni team since everyone played well. Berkeley —Fremont JO Berkeley defeated Fremont easily and found no difficulty in taking them into camp. Fremont fought hard but could not find the bucket. Coach Hole sent in his reserve material. This was the first time that men other than the regulars were able to get in the game. Hart proved to be a find and he soon worked up to a first section berth. Bartlett, Scarlett, and Beebe got into the game also. Berkeley 20—Martinez IJ Berkeley got her revenge for the early season defeat at the hands of Martinez. There was no doubt as to Berkeley’s superiority. The game was an exceedingly fast one. It was Berkeley’s speed that completely bewildered the Martinez team. Sears was high point man scoring ten of the twenty counters for Berkeley. Berkeley JI—University II. S. I. Another practice game was won and added to Berkeley’s list of victories. Berkeley played rings around them and there was no doubt as to the outcome of the battle as soon as the game started. This was such an easy victory for the Yellowjackets that Coach Hole was able to use here and there the entire squad. 'This game clearly showed Berkeley's strength when she is in the right condition. Berkeley 2J—Oakland Tech 6 Oakland Tech came and fell. Berkeley's defense was one of the main attractions. The close guarding by Capt. Cooney and Williams allowed only two baskets which speaks well for them. Tech was clearly outclassed in every department of the game. The Tech team should be complimented on their fight and determination. It was fight alone that kept the Berkeley team from scoring even more points than she did. It was a good game from the spectator's point of view for it was a fast battle to the last. Berkeley 22—Oakland High JO This game was just a repetition of the Tech game. Berkeley started strong and finished strong. Before Oakland knew what it was all about, Sears had found the basket and soon Williams and Kress also added to the score. One of the features of the game was Pid-geon’s dribbling. He is an exceptional dribbler and often dribbled through the entire Oakland team to score. He should be of great value to next year's team. Berkeley IQ—Hayward 8 Berkeley journeyed to Hayward to play this game. It was played at night in the Hayward barn. This was the first C. I. F. game of the season. Berkeley was somewhat handicapped by the absence of Sears for there was some question as to his eligibility. Hart proved to be a star, scoring nine of the nineteen points. On account of the poorness of the gym and the baskets, Berkeley was not able to pile up a large score. Berkeley 22—Piedmont IJ Berkeley upset all expectations in this game. She was not conceded a chance to win from Piedmont but she turned the tables and did so easily. It was the best game of the season. A great many Berkeley and Piedmont rooters attended the game and backed their teams well. The game was exciting from start to finish. No one knew how it would end at any time of the game. First Berkeley, then Piedmont would lead the scoring column. Again Pidgeon's dribbling brought cries of admiration from the crowd. Sears and Pidgeon tied for high point honors with nine points each. Corbin played well for Piedmont. Piedmont’s team was composed entirely of experienced players and only Berkeley's superior team work kept them from winning. Berkeley 24—Oakland Tech 22 Berkeley entered the game with the feeling that having defeated Tech once she could do so again with no effort. With Berkeley having just defeated Piedmont everyone was overconfident. After a few minutes of play Berkeley lost that overconfidence. Tech certainly had improved greatly over the previous game and only a last-minute rallv by Berkeley saved her from defeat. The game was played in the Tech gym which was no little aid to the Tech team. Berkeley IJ—Piedmont j6 Piedmont swamped Berkeley in their second game. Capt. Cooney was ineligible and Pidgeon was too sick to play. Sears was also sick but he played the game and played well considering the circumstances. Berkeley’s forwards didn't seem to have their shooting eve and repeatedly shots that usually would have been sure shots were missed. Piedmont on the contrary rang nearly everything they shot. They were certainly in the best condition. The game was played in the new Piedmont gym. The Berkeley players had a hard time in getting accustomed to the court because of the slippery floor. Berkeley IJ—Diablo Diablo proved no match for the Berkeley hoopsters. Many substitutes got into the game and displayed a snappy brand of ball. Williams and Kress played well in this game. They were the only two members of the first five left to play but even this did not stop Berkeley in defeating Diablo. Berkeley Q—Piedmont 2() This defeat put Berkeley out of the C. 1. F. running. Berkeley was not defeated nearly as badly as the score indicates and a great deal of credit is due to the players. Capt. Cooney, Sears and Pidgeon were still out of the game, making it rather uphill running for Berkeley. Murphy was high point man, playing the best game of his career and deserving all the credit due him. Beebe, playing in his first major game, did very well and many Piedmont baskets were stopped by him. A great deal of credit should go to Piedmont for they certainly have a good team this year. This is the first time that Piedmont ever won the A. C. A. L. title in a major sport. Berkeley IQ—Concord . This game finished up the season for Berkeley. Coach Hole used nearly all the men who expect to be back next season, giving them a little additional training. The game was played in our gym and was rather uninteresting. However this game showed that there will be a quantity of good material on hand next season. With six members of this year's squad back next spring, everyone looks forward to a successful season. These men are: Capt. Williams, Pidgeon, Bartlett, Scarlett, Scarry, and Bateman.

Under the leadership of Captain Wilander and Coach Parker the 130’s developed from a green squad into an exceptional group of players. Coach Parker had no experienced material; every member on the team developed through his careful tutoring. Some of these lightweights will probably be found on the unlimited squad in a year or so. Captain Wilander has been the most consistent player on the team. He has a good shooting eye. Berkeley easily defeated Hayward for the A. C. A. L. title by the score of 19-2. In the fight for the C. I. F. title Berkeley next played the Alhambra High School of Martinez. The lightweights ran against a great deal of opposition and won the game only by the hardest fighting, 14-10. Scarrv played well in this game for Berkeley. Analy defeated Berkeley in the next game 15-14. There is no need telling how close the game was because the score attends to that. The 130's deserve a great deal of credit for their work this season and the student body should give them more of their attention and support. The following made up the squad: Captain Wilander, Gold-strum, Scarry, Fry, Farrar, Freitag, Rose, Hillers, Stead, Frazier, Carlson, Scott. Baseball TARTING the season with five veterans with which to form a baseball team. Coach Jennings developed a team which is now tied with Alameda for the A. C. A. L. championship. This year's team has played quite a number of games and lost but few of these contests. Berkeley lost to Alameda in the second contest and put Alameda in the running for the title. However Berkeley has defeated some of the best ball teams in the bay region. As the Pod goes to press before the outcome of the game between the Red and Gold and Alameda for the A. C. A. L. title, the results will not be recorded in this term's Pod. The outcome of this game is hard to prophesy as each team has won one game by a close score and the teams look about equal. For the first few games the hitting of the team as a whole was poor and the fielding was not much btter, however the team came through with many victories. As time passed the players tightened down and a decided improvement was noted. After a few more games have been played the season will end. The players on the team have worked hard all season in making this season’s baseball team a success. Individuals Captain Anderson was Berkeley's most consistent player throughout the season. He was a good hitter and had a high average while his fielding was always spectacular. His famous peg threw many men out at home. Captain Anderson encouraged his team mates to their best while his fighting spirit gave the team confidence. His leadership will be missed next year. Alton Hooper, working behind the bat, allowed few stolen bases during the season. His coolness behind the bat pulled the team through many a tight place. Hooper always managed to gather two or three hits during the games. This is Hooper’s last year on the team much to the regret of his admirers. Kuhlken, pitching his last year for Berkeley, was very efficient. His hitting was not so good but he made up for this by his effective right arm. Very seldom wild, he pitched Berkeley to many victories and his strikeout record was impressive. Kuhlken was an important BASEBALL SQUAD factor in the team’s functioning. He leaves before another baseball season. The position at first base was held down by “Lefty Frazier, a newcomer. His fielding was without fault and his hitting was way up in the percentage column. Frazier was a great help to the Yellow-jackets and has a great future before him at Berkeley for he is a high scrub. “Russ Wilson, a football man, showed up well at baseball. Besides being an outfielder, he was reliable at first base. His hitting was good and his fielding better. He is a senior. King, a new man, held down the position at second base in great style. He was fast on the field and a good hitter. This is King's last year in high school and he will be missed by next year's squad. “Red Kress of basketball fame reported to baseball late in the term, but worked himself into first string shortstop immediately. His hitting and fielding were nothing short of sensational throughout the season. His place on the team will not be filled easily next season. Roger Sears, third baseman, was in the same class with Kress. He and Kress divided honors for the infielders. Sears was handicapped by illness quite a bit. He graduates before next season. Scarry, a scrub, turned out to be one of the best players on the squad. With a little more experience he will develop into a first class ball player. “Augie Matern, playing his last year for Berkeley, was always to be depended upon. Nothing spectacular, but bv steady playing and improving rapidly he developed into a good player. His judgment of balls was very good and he received many walks. “Barney” Thaxter, a pitcher, showed up well when put in as a relief hurler. He was always ready to pitch and gave the best he had. The Bernard brothers, George who caught and Bill who played in the outfield, were able substitutes for the team. They had the right spirit and worked hard through the season. Devore played in the infield as a regular and is one of the very best players. His hitting and fielding were up to the standard and his good spirit helped the team. 'I'llis is Devore’s last year with the team. With this term Warren Barton is ending his second year as manager of the baseball team. Warren has filled the position of head manager with great success. His assistant, Jerome Balasek and Philip Johnson, have contributed to this success by faithful attention and hard work. THE GAMES Berkeley 2—Oakland Tech 5 Playing their first game of the season, after but one week’s practice, Berkeley lost a hard-plaved game to Tech. The visitors took an early lead which was overcome by Berkeley in the fifth inning when Berkeley went on a batting rampage. With the first team playing the game Berkeley was not to be beaten, but too many substitutions left Berkeley weak. In the eighth and ninth innings, Tech scored a three-run lead which Berkeley could not overcome. The game was featured bv the pitching of Kuhlken and Coleman and the hitting of Hooper and Anderson. Berkeley 12—Deaf and Dumb I In a game featured by the hard hitting of Russ Wilson, Berkeley defeated the team from the Deaf and Dumb Home, 12 to 1. It was a slow contest and the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The Berkeley second team played most of the game and showed up well. Macdonald and Thaxter pitched and Bernard and Stahl caught for Berkeley. Berkeley 2—California Freshmen J The Cal Frosh nine defeated Berkeley in a hard-fought game 7 to 2. The Freshmen scored four runs in the early innings, each one being earned. Coleman who replaced Thaxter in the third inning as pitcher held the Freshmen to one run besides striking out many. Kuhlken replaced Coleman in the sixth inning. Berkeley’s runs were scored by Devore and Hartgrove in the last half of the fifth inning. 'Fhe coolness of Hooper behind the bat featured. Berkeley 2—Armstrong s 2 Berkeley High tied Armstrong’s ball team in an exciting seveninning game. 'I he pitching of Kuhlken, who struck out nine men, was the feature of the game. His team mates supported him well throughout. Berkeley 7—Roosevelt J Berkeley had an easy time disposing of Roosevelt and beat them to the score of 7 to 3. Many substitutions were made by Berkeley and the team showed up well. Berkeley I—St. Mary's ? In a fast and exciting game against St. Mary’s, Berkeley was beaten by a 3 to 1 score. Many players of the basketball squad showed up well witth the team. St. Mary’s Preps had a good team with an enviable record. BASEBALL INDIVIDUALS Berkeley . —S. F. Poly 7 The Berkeley High School baseball team lost to the Poly preps of San Francisco 7 to 4 in a slow game at Berkeley Field. Sears, Coleman, and Anderson knocked homers. Poly overcame the four-run lead that Berkeley had in the fifth inning and slowly forged ahead. Berkeley . —Oakland High () Given good support by his team mates, Coleman allowed only three well scattered hits resulting in a shutout. Sears got two of the five hits made by Berkeley. The game was a pitcher's battle with Coleman having the advantage. Berkeley later defeated the same team 14 to 1. Berkeley IQ—Hayward J Starting the first A. C. A. L. game right, Kress, leading off, knocked a home run. Berkeley had a batting spree and gained many runs, meanwhile holding Hayward to three runs. A spectacular catch bv Anderson and the hitting of Scarry and Matcrn featured the game. Berkeley I y Piedmont II Playing its second league game, Berkeley defeated Piedmont 15 to 11 in a long-winded contest. It was a good slugging match with Berkeley having the best of it. Frazier, Kress, and Hooper did the most damage for Berkeley, with Anderson and Wilson closely following. Berkeley 12—Alameda Q In a hard-hitting contest Berkclcv defeated Alameda 12 to 9. This game proved Berkeley’s superiority in fielding and hitting the ball. Homers by Frazier and Hooper with the bases full and one bv Sears featured the game. Kuhlken and Hooper formed a good battery. Berkeley — Piedmont IO In a contest closely resembling the first one Berkeley defeated Piedmont 11 to 10 in a hard game. The Berkeley pitchers were ineffective, although Macdonald struck out many of the Highlanders. Thaxter started for Berkeley, and was followed in turn by Mac-honald, Buckley, and Kuhlken. “Red Anderson knocked a triple in the ninth with two men on bases who scored, thus winning the game. Berkeley 5—Alameda 6 Berkeley went down to its first A. C. A. I,, defeat when Berkeley met Alameda. Kuhlken was wild in the first inning and four runs were scored by Alameda. Berkeley scored when Anderson tripled, scoring Devore and Kuhlken. Anderson and Kress starred for Berkeley with two triples each. One more game will be played between Alameda and Berkeley to decide the championship of the A. C. A. L. Track The Season COACHING track for the first time at Berkeley High, with a rainy season which came unusually late, and with but two letter-men, Captain Weissel and Ralph Frentrup, around which to build a team, Coach Lamar has turned out a team which has not only won the North Coast title but, as the Pod goes to press, looks like a serious contender for the State title. The season opened with the Novice meet which was followed by the Interclass. In both these meets much new material was uncovered and new stars such as Wentz, Edy, Rogers, Horner, Wilkinson, Kress, and Kenward were found. These men with the consistent performance of such as Ulsh, Beebe, Clark, Brown, and Sperry, who fought their way to the front from last year's squad, are responsible for the wonderful showing of the team this season. Going through a hard season with many unfavorable conditions Berkeley won all her meets bv a decisive score. Too much cannot be said in favor of the Class B Division which was responsible for many points in every meet. The winning of the North Coast title came as the climax of much hard work and the wonderful spirit of the team throughout the season. Track Individuals Captain Weissel, a veteran of two years, again ran the 880 and the mile. In spite of his illness, Ford was able to come through for many points and consistently placed in his events. Cecil Wentz, who was a star of last year's Class B Division, has developed into one of the fastest sprint men in the state. Thorughout the season he broke the tape in both the 100 and 220 in exceptional time, besides running a fast lap in the relay. He was the high point man of the season. Bill Rogers was a stellar 880 man and miler whose fighting spirit made many points. Ralph Frentrup, another veteran of last year's team, also ran the sprints, the low hurdles, and the final lap of the relay. He was always a close second to Wentz and was responsible for many points. Alan Browne was a broad-jumper of no mean ability. His jump, which measured around 21 feet, always gave him a first place in his event. Bob Horner, a high jumper and high hurdler, who cleared the har at 5 feet 8 inches, was a sure point getter for the Yellowjackets. Keith Lynn was a pole vaulter and high jumper whose ability to clear the bar made him one of the most valuable men on the team. He and Horner repeatedly tied for first. Jack Edy ran the 880 and the mile. His fast stride and lighting spirit made him a valuable man. Bob Ulsh was a hurdler with exceptional ability. He stepped the sticks in fast time. Austin Sperry was not only a hurdler but he also threw the discus well. Russ Wilson, although he came out late in the season, developed into a fast 100 yard man. He also did the high jump. Dick Wilkinson, through constant light and untiring effort, made a name for himself as a 440 man. He also ran the relay. Ralph Kress of baseball and basketball fame did good work with the javelin. Kenneth Beebe, a broad jumper and a discus thrower, was a point getter in every meet. Bayard Rucker threw the javelin and put the shot for many points. Cristler Clark was a pole vaulter whose ability was always accountable for a good score. Fletcher Abadie, a high jumper and javelin thrower, showed marked ability. Morrow Ellison always gave his opponents as well as team mates a hard fight in the 100 and the 220. Richard Pitts specialized in the 440 and made a good running mate for Dick Wilkinson. Harry Ross was a miler whose last time and easy stride made him a point getter. Tom Dee showed his ability bv heaving the shot. Willard Graham put the shot, and was responsible for many second and third places so necessary for a successful team. George Miller was a pole-vaulter who also captured many sec-one and third places. Wendell Richardson was a snappy half miler and gave his opponents many a hard race. TRACK SQUAD The Novice Meet This was a meet open to all men who had not competed under Berkeley High colors. Its purpose was twofold: first, to give those interested in track a chance to show their worth without competing with those more experienced; and second, to look over possible material for the season. Nearly a hundred took part in the meet and the results were exceedingly encouraging for a successful season. Many good records were made and many men proved themselves of real track caliber. Among these were Rogers, Richardson, and Pitts in the distances; Ellison, Davis, and Dart in the sprints; and Rucker, Kenward, and Graham on the field. Berkeley-Mr. Diablo Berkeley's first high school competition proved easy going and with little effort the Concord aggregation was downed 106 1-2 to 42 1-2. Davis, Wilkinson, Clsh, and Browne took first places. Wentz also got two firsts while Davis and Doe; Lynn and Clark; Lynn, Abadic, and Horner shared first honors in their events. Berkeley's relay team had little trouble passing the baton around the track twice ahead of Mt. Diablo, scoring another first place in the relay. This meet might be considered quite a comeback since Berkeley was defeated by Concord by 3 1-2 points last year. Berkeley-Oakdale Berkeley again had little difficulty when Oakdale took the track against her and was defeated 105 2-3 to 52 1-2. Wentz again broke the tape in the 100 and 220. Wilkinson won the 440, closely followed by Pitts. Davis took a first in the Class B 220 as did Ulsh in the low hurdles. Browne, Abadie, and Kenward, whose improvement has come with leaps and bounds, also accounted for first. Berkeley won the relay in fast time. B er k eley-Teci i - Fremont Taking the field against two of the best high school teams of Oakland, Berkeley again came out on top, by a substantial margin: Berkeley 87 1-2 points, Oakland Tech 54 1-2, Fremont 42. Berkeley again took many first places: Doe, Sperry, and Frentrup made firsts on the track; while Horner, Lynn, Kress, and Kenward took the initial points on the field. The large entry list furnished much competition and it was not until toward the end of the meet that Berkeley gained her lead. A. C. A. L. Meet With the best prospects but no standard by which to compare her opponents, Berkeley met the other members of the Alameda County Athletic League on the California Oval, showed them a few of the finer points of track, and sent them home without laurels. In the course of the afternoon, Berkeley scored a total of 95 2-3 points, Alameda managed to collect 70 1-3, while Hayward and Piedmont, completely outclassed, trailed with 9 and 10 points, respectively. Edy ran a wonderful 880 followed by Weissel and Richardson. Fish and Sperry took first places in the high sticks with ease. Wentz won the 220, but was nosed into second at the finish of a close century. Kress with his mighty heave easily copped first honors in the javelin. Rogers, running in probably his best form of the season, won the mile against much stiff competition. Lynn and Clark decided to share honors again so that first place for the pole vault was divided. North Coast Section Meet Berkeley entering the North Coast track meet against sixteen other high schools again emerged with flying colors when Berkeley took first place, scoring 28 1-2 points, closely followed by San Jose with 25 points and Alameda with 24 1-2 points. Wentz (lashed down the track for first place in the 50-yard dash Class B, and later again added four points when he tied for first in the 220, thereby making himself high point man of the meet. Browne broad jumped 21 feet 3 inches to another first place. Rogers took third in the mile while Sperry and l lsh placed in the hurdles. Horner and Beebe took additional points in their events on the field. The relay team composed of Wilkinson, Weissel, Wilson, and Fren-trup took second place in one of the closest relays ever run in the North Coast. C LAYTON Swimming The Season ITH only two letter-men returning, prospects for the swimming team this year were not so bright. The times produced in the different events in the interclass meet, however, were very encouraging. Doug Dwyre, a breast stroke man from San Diego High, is probably the most valuable addition to this year’s team. The best prospects uncovered in the interclass meets were: James Archer, Nelson Bockus, Jim Kavanagh, Taft Ring, Eugene Neuhaus, and Crawford Christie. Berkeley’s hopes were raised another notch when the locals were beaten by only two points, by the Belmont Academy swimmers. The surprise of the season, however, came when the Red and Gold paddlers literally swamped the Lowell High mermen, 65-30. This was the first defeat the S. F. A. L. champs had suffered in twelve years. Berkeley High entered a four-man relay team in the interscholastic relay race, held in connection with the National A. A. U. championships at Fleishacker Pool, San Francisco. The team composed of Frank Walton, Nelson Bockus, James Archer, and Pendleton Noyes took third place. Lowell High School touched out Belmont Academy for first place. Coming through in championship style the Rcdshirts won the A. C. A. L. from Alameda and are expected to make a strong bid for the North Coast title. Swimming Individuals Coach F2adie, one of the new coaches at Berkeley, has done good work during his first term at this institution in coaching the Class B football team through a successful season. He is equally strong as a coach with the swimming team and all those under him improved through his leadership. Only two letter-men returning this term made Sir. Eadic's job an exceptionally hard one. Following the close of the 1924 swimming season, the team got together and elected a captain for the 1925 team. Willard Retclle was their choice. Will is a capable leader and swimmer. In his scrub year, Retclle swam for the 130's and while a middler, won first place in the 440 event in the North Coast meet. He also piloted the water polo team through a successful season last fall. Jack Mullgardt handles himself well in the diving both low and high boards. Jack’s neat and well-executed dives bolster the point column when he takes part in a meet. He leaves a good record behind after two years of competition for Berkeley High. Frank Walton was the only other letter-man, besides Captain Retelle, who returned this year. Last year Frank placed first, in both the A. C. A. L. and North Coast meets, in the back stroke. I bis year he has cut several seconds off of his time and should repeat. He has also reduced his time in the 50-vard to 25:4. “Pinky is also anchor man on the relay team. Douglas Dwyre is the best breast stroke swimmer that has worn the Red and Gold colors for a long time. Doug received most of his training at San Diego High and is a letter man from that institution. He is also a football and water polo player of no small ability. When not representing Berkeley High, Dwyre carries the colors of the Olympic Club of San Francisco. Doug recently passed the competitive examinations and enters West Point in July. Richard Newmeyer is another two-threat man. Dick shows good form and control in his dives and is Walton’s team-mate in the back stroke event. Newmeyer also represents Berkeley High in interscholastic debates. Another good man is lost to the school by graduation. Donald McCarthy, a low scrub and the smallest man on the team, shows promise of a brilliant future in the plunge. “Don weighs onlv 120 pounds and has reached the distance of 64 feet in practice. This is within two feet of the A. C. A. L. record held bv “Shenandoah Doyle. Nelson Bockus, another scrub of unusual ability, is a real find, discovered in the interclass meet. He turns in good times in the 50 and 100-vard dashes and can also be depended on in the relay. Nelson has two seasons ahead! Attention was first attracted to Jim Kavanagh when he was announced individual high point scorer in both the interclass and all-school meets. Coach Eadie has developed Jim into a sure winner in both of the Class B events. He covers the 150 yards in 1:50. Kavanagh is only a scrub! Through consistent practice, Bola Lowe has gained a name for SWIMMING SQUAD himself in the breast stroke event. Lowe placed second in the A. C. A. L. meet last year but failed to place in the North Coast meet. Presley Coggeshall, the big man of the squad, is Berkeley’s second best bet in the plunge. The tallest man on the squad, Stewart Patterson, is a plunger and breast stroke swimmer of no small ability. Eugene Neuhaus, Pendleton Noyes, Rudolph Pahl, and Roily Reade have made good showings in their events. Gene swims the 440; Pen, a fast lap in the relay; Rudy, the furlong, while Roily competes in both of the 130-pound events. Taft Ring has steadily improved in the 440 until he is now second only to Captain Retelle. “Tiffy” has plenty of endurance and shows spurts of speed when they are needed. James Archer was uncovered in the interclass meets. Jim, through hard work, has steadily lowered his time in the century. He can also be depended on to cover his lap in the relay in fast time. 'There is a bright future for Archer next year. Crawford Christie, Captain Retelle’s teammate in the furlong, is a capable swimmer. Chris proved to be more consistent than Rudy Pahl in this event and because of this was ranked second. Christie graduates before next spring. Berkeley 33— Belmont 35 Berkeley High opened the season by losing in a score of 35-33, to the strong, experienced swimmers of Belmont Academy. Practically the same team was met which so decisively defeated the Red and Gold paddlers the year before. Eighteen men composed the squad that made the trip down the peninsula on the train. Walton, Dwyre, and Mullgardt captured first places in their events. Those who increased the score column bv taking second places were: Walton, Christie, and Lowe. Archer and Patterson each got third place while Newmeyer held that same position in both the diving and the back stroke. Kavanagh placed first and second in the two 130-pound events. The meet was very much of a success and gave Coach Eadie a good idea of the strength of his material. Berkeley 65—Lowell 30 Gathering eight first, eight second, and one third place, the Red and Gold mermen decisively outclassed the Lowell Cardinals in Berkeley’s second meet. This is the first setback the transbay bovs have suffered at the hands of the locals since the 62-32 defeat in 1922. Captain Retclle won both the 220 and 440-yard swims in exceptionally fast times. Walton tied with Retelle for honors bv taking both the 50-yard freestyle and the 50-yard back stroke. Newmeyer placed first in the diving and second in the dorsal style event. Bockus, a scrub, showed up very well in this meet, taking second places in both the 50 and 100-yard dashes. Third place in the 50 and second in the 150 were gathered bv Kavanagh in the 130-pound events. Jim Archer showed improvement bv winning the century in fast time, while Lowe touched out Dwvre in the breast stroke. McCarthy won the nlunge with 60 feet 7 inches while Coggeshall came second. Second places were secured bv Mullgardt and Ring in the diving and 440, respectively. Noyes swam a fast lap in the relay. Berkeley 55—Alameda 40 Once more displaying championship calibre the Red and Gold mermen overcame an early lead and took the A. C. A. L. championship, 55-40. Some very good times were made, considering the size of the tank. Walton broke the A. C. A. L. record in the back stroke by turning in 32 seconds flat. Kavanagh, a scrub, was high point man for Berkeley with a first and a second in the 130-pound class events. Captain Retclle took second places in both the 220 and 440 while Newmeyer placed second in the diving and back stroke event. Walton was leading in the 50-yard freestyle when he swam into the side of the tank. Bockus finished second in this event and Walton third. Ring won the 440 while Patterson passed McCarthy on his last plunge to take first with McCarthy second. Archer swam a good race in the 100-yard freestyle to take second. Dwyre placed second in the breast stroke with Lowe third. Christie came in third in the 220 after a good race. Represented by a strong, well-balanced team, Berkeley High School won the North Coast title of the C. 1. F. The scores were: Berkeley 54 1-2, Alameda 35 1-2, Tamalpais 21, San Jose 6, Palo Alto 2, Lick-Wilmerding 2. San Mateo and South San Francisco failed to place. Frank Walton broke the record in the 50-yard backstroke event bv covering the distance in 30:5 seconds. He also placed first in the 50-yard freestyle. Dick Newmeycr won the fancy diving and took second in the backstroke. Captain Retelle captured second places in both the 220 and 440. Bockus took second in the 50 and tied for third in the 100. Dwyre and Lowe finished second and third, respectively, in the 100-yard breaststroke. Kavanagh was first in the 150 yards in the 130-pound class. Jim Archer swam a good race to come second in the century. Christie was third in the 220 with Ring in the same position at the end of the 440. McCarthy placed second in the plunge with Coggeshall fourth. The Berkeley relay team, composed of Walton, Bockus, Archer, Christie, Dwvre, and Mullgardt, established a new North Coast record of 1 :45.7. North Coast Meet AST year the Berkeley High Tennis team had a very successful season, winning both the A. C. A. L. and North Coast championships in singles and doubles. Captain Roger Rhoades and Frank Gove represented Berkeley in the State meet held at Los Angeles. Reaching the finals, the locals were eliminated in the doubles bv Los Angeles High, playing on their own courts. Hollywood High eliminated Berkeley High in the singles matches. Because of this outstanding work on the courts Frank Gove was elected to lead the 1925 team. “Wifi” Railton and Lawrence Cooper were the only other men returning. Although the graduation of Rhoades, DeGierre, and Hargraves left a large gap in the squad, their places were filled by Harvey Derne, Jim McCormack, and Jim Higgens. These three men are formidable players and should form a strong nucleus for next year’s team. Coach LeTcndre has been supervising the work of the Red and Gold racqueters, and has turned out a strong squad. Much credit is also due to Manager Turman who has booked several good matches with outside schools and clubs. As we go to press the A. C. A. L. championships have not yet been run off, but Berkeley is expected to take this title. Girls’ Athletic Association 1IREE score and seventeen months ago o u r a 1 u m n i brought forth into this high school a new section, conceived in democracy a n d dedicated to the development of all-round girls. In 1918 the students who were interested in the development and extension of sports for girls got together and formed the Constitution of the G. A. A. From the first few girls, the association has grown until the present membership is eighty-five. To the first sports, baseball, basketball, hockey, and track, have been added speedball, swimming, dancing, and the Outing Club. Doris Johnson. Basketball As soon as the spring semester opened girls began asking about basketball and the enthusiasm has not died down throughout the term. About one hundred and fifty girls signed up from the various classes. Elizabeth Cawthorne was head of basketball. Miss Kelley coached the middlers; Miss Gall, the seniors; and Miss Goldstaub, the scrubs. The teams were picked toward the middle of March. The tournament was played off the week of March 26. Monday and Tuesday the preliminaries were held to decide whether the low or high team of each class would compete for honors. Wednesday, in a swift, hard-fought game, the low tens defeated the high elevens, who won the tournament in the spring of 1924. Thursday was the championship game between the low tens and the high twelves. The game was well attended. The seniors held the scrubs down without a score for the first quarter. After that the scrubs gained steadily. The final score was 20-9 in favor of the low scrubs. Swimming “What arc the wild waves saying? seems to be what a good many girls want to know and so as a result there is a larger turnout for swimming than for any other one sport. This semester the classes have been divided into just two groups, beginners and advanced. The advanced swimmers used the pool on Monday and Wednesday from 3:15 to 3:50, and the beginners from 4 to 4:35. The requirement for entering the advanced class is that a girl pass all the elementary tests. The girl may work for points as soon as she enters this class. To make the swimming squad, the back-stroke, the side-stroke, and the crawl have to be passed beside various other tests. This gives a girl 25 points. The teams arc chosen, as in all sports, on a basis of health, scholarship, sportsmanship, skill and attendance. Dancing A larger number than usual signed up for dancing this semester and the enthusiasm has not diminished. The girls were divided into two groups: the advanced and the beginners. The work of the advanced class is a little more difficult and perhaps more interesting than that of the beginners. A program was given in May to show the progress and achievement of these followers of Terpsichore. An interesting part of the entertainment was “Orpheus and Eurydice,” a dance drama written by a member of the class. In order to obtain a pageant of dramatic possibilities suitable for dancing interpretation, a contest was held in which many girls participated. The judges of the contest were Miss Kelley, Miss Harwood, and Miss Coffin, 'fhe one written by Lorraine Drury took first place and was worked out bv the class. The second place was given to “Pan and Apollo” by Fay the Winchester; third place to “The Crystal Gazer by Marion Gorill. Leaders' Class HIS was the third semester of the Leaders’ Class which consists of a group of girls, selected from the gymnasium class by the teachers for their class work and their attitude. The purpose of the organization is to assist the teachers in class work, to umpire the inter-class tournaments, and to promote good will throughout the classes. This term the class met every Thursday, period three. The officers who were elected were: Derelle Chisholm, president; Lorraine Drury, vice-president; Lucy Lathrop, secretary. At these meetings leadership was discussed, rules for baseball and volley ball studied. Then the games were umpired. The Leaders also helped in getting the records which were compiled for the National Amateur Athletic League. Tests in the high jump, baseball-target throw, basketball throw, 50-yard dash, potato race, and several others were taken by all of the gvm classes. Each Leader kept record of these tests for her squad and later transferred them to the permanent records. As girls graduate or drop out of the class their vacancies are filled again from the classes. The organization promises to be a permanent and useful one. Outing Club Several years ago the Outing Club was organized as an individual sport, with its president and coach. As a result, the Outing Club is now larger and its activities are more numerous. Its purpose is to arouse enthusiasm in the outdoors. Horseback riding, hiking, skating, tennis, and home-walking are all included. It gives many girls, who do not have the time or who arc unable to take part in the other G. A. A. sports, an opportunity to earn points. This semester hiking has been very popular. Large groups of girls have gone to various places. There have been a number of horseback rides, and several skating parties. Frances Hanley, as vice-president of the G. A. A., has been the Outing Club president, and Miss Harwood, the faculty adviser. ■ Speedball This was the second semester that speedball was included in the schedule of sports. It gained immediate popularity when it was introduced in the spring term of 1924. It is a camparatively new game and combines features of soccer, hockey, and basketball. The line up resembles hockey. The ball must be kicked, as in soccer, but when not a ground ball, may be passed, dribbled, and bounced, as in basketball. The Outing Club is growing each semester and a larger group of girls answers to its call: “Follow the 'Frail of the open air Alone with the hills and sky.” With about thirty-five girls out for speedball the season started well. Miss Kelley was the coach and Beryle Craig the head of the sport. Interclass Sports Each semester two tournaments in inter-class sports arc played off. The game for the season is played twice a week during class by every one taking part in gym. The teams are divided according to the swimming classes: beginners, advanced, and non-swimmers. Each team elects its own captain. Record is kept of the result of each class game and when the tournament is played off, the team having the highest record represents that particular class. This semester volley ball and baseball were the sports. The volley ball tournament was run off the week of March 23. The championship was won by a low ten team, captained by Clara Thieme. Last semester bat-ball and kick-ball were the inter-class sports. The tournament games are plaved after school and members of the Leaders’ Class umpire them. There is a great deal of competition throughout the contests and the games always create a good deal of enthusiasm. The final game, especially, is waited for and watched with interest by the girls. Baseball The king of sports is as popular among our girls as among people all over the country. Every Tuesday and Thursday three diamonds were in use on the athletic field. Dorothy Husing was head of the sport. Miss Gall coached the middlers and the seniors; Miss Gold-staub, the scrubs. Baseball has been one of the best-liked and best-attended of all the G. A. A. sports. A good lively game never lacks spectators. The quality of the players turned out speaks well for the training and for the sport itself.
