I Congratulations VERY successful year is drawing to a close. 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. BI EDEN BACH
