As we look at your pictures in the Olla Pod- - 1 V: . . rida we see that you are all fine looking young people. , Naturally, you are proud of your achievements and just fig? q a little inclined to be quite sure of your ability to take care of yourselves. For that very reason this is one of the few outstanding times in your life when you should stop for a moment and take a serious look ahead. You want to make the most of life and, having had good training, should have the best opportunity for realizing this desire. Recently I heard a senior student of the University of California, one Who himself is a leading official of the student body, say, in a public address, that most of the important offices of the student body in both athletic and educational fields are at present held by graduates of the Berkeley High School. There is no doubt but that this leadership is due to the preliminary training given in the High School. Having made a good start, it is easy for our students to profit by all that the University has to offer. This applies equally in all Walks of life. The Well-rounded education, physical, mental and moral, which you have had the opportunity of acquiring makes it possible for you to suc- ceed. But whether you will or not depends upon yourself. School preparation alone does not insure success. You yourself have the final decision. You are now at one of those stopping places where you must give serious thought not only as to which way you want to go, but also Whether you have the right kind of equipment with which to complete the journey. Make your decision deliberately and then go ahead with all your physical, mental and spiritual vigor. The future is yours, if you will only approach it aright, and keep up your courage. Our blessing goes with every one of you. Q Cordially yours, - 15 Mp. ai. . f I, Log of the 'Term JANUARY 1 4. Back to the Daily Grind. . 1 5. Freshman Day. 22. Girls, Scrub Reception. FEBRUARY 1.

It has had a most successful season, and both actors and score have been highly commended. M f3 m5'H 4 The plot was, on the whole, a merry one. It dealt gl 2 V 1 with a people essentially gay, who tried to maintain their gaiety and happiness in spite of a dreaded epidemic which recurred at periodic intervals. This Report Card epidemic supplied the necessary element of tragedy, and furnished a striking contrast to the high spirits prevalent throughout. The plot contained an unusual feature, a play within a play. It occurred in the middle of the last act. It was announced as The Senior Playf' or The Youngestf, 'and was very cleverly and convincingly handled by leading actors and actresses. This feature merited the highest praise, as it moved and amused the audience without distracting attention from the plot of the show as a whole. The first act of The Passing Class of I926,, was pronounced to be a Hne piece of work, and the drama attending the initiation of the scrubs was ushered in most effectively. There were many song hits in the show. The first act featured Scrublets Allf' which was sung softly and timidly. The principal song in the second act, The Care-Free Middler, was ren- dered with a little more volume, and there was a lilt of arrogance running through the whole selection. The third act was very impressive when Seniors, Lords of Highi' was sung. It was also in the third act that the best work was done by individual members of the cast. The men's athletic chorus was particularly fine in the number of .stars it included. There were two choruses that apeared in the last act, and which differed integrally from the rest. The first was the adviser's chorus, which was by one known as the counselor. They sang a clever song entitled We've Done Our Part. The Recommending Board chorus clogged cleverly to the ditty, We Reck That We've Rec,d and Wfreckedf' The grand finale was most impressive. The dying notes of the van- ishing Report Card chorus were merged into the triumphant procession of Diplomas for all. The closing ceremony with the final song, Hail, Berkeley High, was something to be remembered in the coming years.

This, coupled with the high standard of work submitted by the staff, made possible the twenty-ninth volume which is now igggfi gba nearing completion. The editorial writers have accom- plished much through the medium of their articles, for they chose as their subjects only those topics which would be of interest and value to the students. We have endeavored to write up every activity of the school during the term so that the student body might be well informed of the important events of the semester. The aim of the staff has always been to improve the Weekly News in every possible way. This term the number of advertisements has been kept at a minimum, so as to provide more space for the news items and editorials. To the students of the school goes the credit for the advertising that was furnished by the various business houses, for it was they who made the merchants realize it pays to advertise in the Weekly News. The self- support of this publication was made possible only through our adver- tisers. 3 2 g 4 P 1 um 4 5 um Asguj Q 4 me 5 mum Q mmm g 2 JACK DEMPSEY President A. S. B. H. S. FIM' .gg-Q S THE end of another term draws near, it is interesting to look of this term have been carried on with an unusual amount of enthusiasm by the student body. The athletic teams on the whole seem stronger than those in past years. The get-together spirit of Freshman Day made the day a most enjoy- able one, while the two performances of the Vaudeville were supported whole-heartedly by everyone. It is safe to say that the scholastic standards set by preceding classes have been upheld this term. We hope that the unity and co-operation shown so distinctly this term may continue and prosper in the future. The officers of the A. S. B. H. S. wish to extend their thanks and appreciation for the enthusiasm and co-operation so willingly shown by everyone. Without this factor, little could have been accomplished.

Because this is true, We may look ahead into the future and, as long as the Berkeley High School lasts, we may see as one of its most outstanding parts the Girls' Association still upholding its motto of Friendship and Ser- vicef' Started over ten years ago, the Girls' Association has each term proved itself so valuable that it is now recognized as a very import- ant part of the school. Everything done by the Asso- ciation has behind it some good and Well-defined purpose, and it is with pride that We note that the organization is self-support- ing and that the Improvement Committee is able each term to select some lasting gift which the girls may give to the school. May I, on behalf of all the offi- cers, express our appreciation and gratitude for the co-operation and help which we have received from Mrs. Stone, Mr. Bieden- bach, the faculty, and the office force.

MANY the Big B Society is an organization to which . J l .. 52 . . athletes who have won their letters belong. This, how- ever, is only one of its many important functions. The Big B Society stands for clean sportsmanship, the right A kind of school spirit, and a high standard of scholarship. T N The Society stands back of all school gatherings such as rallies, games, and get-together days. At the rallies the Big BU members greatly assist by keeping the steps clear. At the games they keep every one on the bleachers so that the players will not be interfered with and everyone will be able to have an unobstructed view of the play. While the co-operation of the students is very necessary, the success of Freshman Day may be directly attributed to the Big BU Society. Membership in the Big B Society is something every student should strive for from the time he is a low scrub to the eve of his graduation.

To date they have been very success- ful in performing their re- spective duties. The Park Commission sees t h a t the paths and ornamental shrub- bery around the school pre- sent a neat and Well-kept ap- pearance. It was also due to this group that Senior Labor Day was such a success. The Good Citizenship Committee Was organized this term to maintain a high standard of conduct in and around the school.

Poetry Clu SILENCE Why should we break E That soft, sweet calm That clings about us Like a cloud And makes our thoughts too beautiful To e'er be voiced aloud? Why should our voices Break that spell Enfolding us with silver sheen? There are no words that can express, Or justice do, a dream. EVELYN KELLY. LIFE Behold the Waves upon the sea, Some will rise, some will fallg And so it is with you and me, As life ebbs on, 'til death may call I watch the birds in autumn flee Far over river, hill, and leag And so it is with you and me: We also seek futurity. A river once was very wee, Then larger grew, and rolled to sea And so it is with you and me, Sometime we'll reach eternity.

The Yellowjacket spirit broke out first in the form of Freshman Day. This was a big success, as all events at Berkeley High should be. The Red and Gold pep was upheld through the rallies that fol- lowed. The first rally came the day be- fore the first Piedmont game. At this Organization rally the student body got behind the team and stayed with them throughout the season. The next rally was held on the morning of the second Piedmont game. Here the old spirit was shown more than ever before, and helped the Yellowjackets on to a Victory. A Track rally was held the morning of the Oakland meet to inspire greater confidence and to encourage the team, which was out for a State Championship. The true fire was aroused and helped to make the team successful. Bob Udall and John Leary have been two assistants who have certainly upheld the Berkeley spirit. They deserve much praise for their willing- ness to do their work. We all hope that Berkeley's glory will be upheld in the future as it has been in the past. Let us all strive to make it so! WENDELL WITTER. Freshman Day Show, NOTHER great day has been added to the long list of suc- f ea Y N39 Q cessful 'tGet-Togetheru days, including Championship Q59 Gen. 'QW , , an 4-cxtij Hrst Friday of the term .seem more of a welcoming day I F4553 sg' than a day of revel and riot to the newcomers, the name, - -QQ' Freshman Day, was chosen. It seemed as though the name had some effect, for the Freshmen appeared to feel more welcome than they ever were before. Order was kept throughout the day by the Citizenship committee and all in all one wonderful time was enjoyed by everyone. The dance, instead of being held in the afternoon after the stunts, as in previous years, was held during the noon periods, in order to give more people a chance to enjoy themselves. This surely had the desired effect. The music, which was full of life and pep, was furnished by the school band, under the direction of Mr. Morton. The afternoon program started with a bleacher rally, led by the yell leader, Wendell Witter. Then came the usual brawl. Contrary to a custom set many years ago, the seniors did not take part in any stunt, but stood by and looked on with the respectful attitude of dignified seniors. The low middlers had rather a hard time defeating the middler by a score of one to nothing in the scrimmage game. The low freshmen, in spite of putting up strong resistance, succumbed to the high freshmen in both the tie-up and the sack rush. The stunts were as exciting as ever and were enjoyed by contestants as well as onlookers. The Big B's , which were not awarded last term on account of the long football season, were presented by Mr. Biedenbach to those members of the team who gave so much of their time and energy for Berkeley High. Those that received the emblem were: Captain Tom Dee, Oscar Higuera, Ralph Fentrup, Jack Murphy, Richard Scarlett, Barney O'Neill, Keith Lynn, Raymond Compton, Morrow Ellison, Leonard Bertoli, Bill Davis, Martin O'Donnell, Bayard Rucker, Ernest Rowland, and Dorwin Joseph- son. The loss of some of these boys will leave a vacancy to be Hlled next term. Every one was happy and satisfied with the day and the thoughtful ones must have had this quotation in mind: Every day in every way, we grow better and better. e-212: x F .f ' A- '.

Freshman Reception I EN OF the happiest social events of the term was the recep- gi tion given to the freshmen and other new girls of the gl school by the Girls' Association on Friday afternoon, Jan- Ex f uary zznd. The festivities began with an entertainment in the A 'i .f auditorium. Elizabeth Cawthorne, president of the Girls' Association, welcomed all the new girls, and announced the numbers on the program. Mrs. Stone, adviser of the Girls' Association, spoke of the important place held by freshmen in the school life. A skit, written by Evelyn Kirkman, was then presented under the direction of Miss Harwood of the Department of Physical Education, assisted by La Rue Jensen. The setting for the skit was a radio broad- casting room where various musical numbers by Berkeley High School musicians were being broadcasted for the entertainment of the freshman girls. Bertha Clymer acted as announcer. A unique feature of the skit was a selection played on a carpenter's saw by Frances Branch. Other numbers were a vocal solo by Marjorie Saunders, a violin selection by Lois Swabel, a whistling solo by Ruth Jackson, a trio, and several choruses. At the end of the program the freshmen girls were presented with colored balloons, which, in the dance that followed, gave to the occasion a delightful note of gaiety. The dance programs had red covers, bearing the seal of the Association and an appropriate greeting to the freshmen. Punch was served by the Refreshment Committee. The general committee responsible for the successful afternoon was composed of Catherine Brooks, chairman, Constance Sinkinson, and Dor- othy Wilkie. Miss Kelly, head of the Department of Physical Education, was in charge of the dance. Music was furnished by the school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Morton. Mothers' 'Teas OF the most interesting features of the social program for the term has been a series of teas given by the Association in honor of the mothers of the girls of the various classes. The Senior tea took place on the afternoon of February third. A musical program was presented in the Little Theatre. Later, tea was served in the P. T. A. room. There was an unusually large attendance of both mothers and girls. The other teas followed at intervals of two weeks, the series being concluded by the Freshman tea. This has proved a very happy means of bringing the parents into pleasant relations with the school. Typing Team , fyfax ,,l, ERKELEY High was represented at the Sixth Annual State Typing Contest by an able team of four members. The 'QQ large assembly hall of the new Sacramento High School was filled with tables at which were seated the 180 con- ,QE4 A- testants from Northern California. At the same time 80 ii contestants from Southern California were writing the same test in Los Angeles. It was a thrilling sight to see these eager typists start off on the fifteen minute test for which they had spent an entire year in preparation. f Rose Luebbert upheld the high standard set by former Berkeley High typists. She won the Second Year Accuracy Cup, writing at the rate of 67 words per minute with only four errors during the fifteen minutes. Madge Talbot, Mabel Johanson, and Katherine King made the finest accuracy showing of any team in the State, their average number of errors being ive. Madge Talbot made the highest accuracy record for the first year by writing forty-six words with only two errors. In the six Typing Contests which have been held in California, Berkeley High has won twenty-one trophies and medals. Among these is the beautiful Tupper Trophy which has become the permanent posses- sion of the school. as- - - I ,, 69----ax-H ,I -Vai 77'-. , N .. . .J . . -. .lv -'jA3i,..,..,,3.y lg. l ll , . P , , Shakespeare Play we ew HE-2.1'111L12l Shakespeare play has become an institution in our school and city. Its history entitles it to be called so will S 1 U.--A That history began in 1912 when our school presented a fffe-Q L ,if 'X scene from A Winters Tale in the Hist Shakespeare amid, hgh 4 Festival in the Greek Theatre This led to the formation of a Berkeley High School Dramatic Club and to the annual presentation of an entire play with appropriate costumes and if u fmmllw -' IK cc ' a , as ' . . . , . . scenery. During the next three years this club gave A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like Itf' and A NVinter's Tale. In 1916 the class in dramatic interpretation was started, and the club came to an end. The class has given Twelfth Nightf' t'Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice,', The Tempestf, King Lear, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Twelfth Nightf, Csecond timej , and The Two Gentlemen of Veronaf' This shining record comprises nearly all of Shakespeare's best-known tragedies and comedies, and it was thought it to try some- thing still more ambitious-an English history play. On the 27th of last March, the class gave the first scene of King Richard II in the Shakespeare Festival at the Greek Theatre, and on the 30th of April the whole play in the Auditorium. The settings, designed by the class in Stage Design, and made by them and the Shops, were artistic and beauti- ful. The costumes were designed by the class in Costume Design, and made by the Advanced Sewing class. They Were, perhaps, the most beautiful ever seen in our Shakespeare plays.

'W VURING the advisory periods of April I4 and 15, another Girls' fig Y Association play was presented l K ni' to an interested audience. This year The Robberyf' by Claire Kummer, awakened by a crash and discovered that the silver had been stolen. She screamed for help and Robert Hamilton Qin every day life known as Jesse Spriggj came to her assistance. They speculated about the silver, but Robert,s efforts as a detective were brought to an abrupt end when he fell asleep. Mr. and Mrs. Upton, returning unexpectedly, found Robert and Edie asleep on the couch. Alex Romanoff was a most excitable and irate father. Esto Linscott, as Mrs. Upton, did not agree with her husband,s ideas. She looked upon the stranger more kindly than did her husband. Kenneth Hargrave was an exceptionally good butler, Hnally solving the difficulties by returning the silver. . Mr. Upton's sympathy for the young man Was aroused when he talked with Robert's father over the telephone. As the curtain fell, the audience rejoiced with Edie at her unexpected introduction to the at- tractive young gentleman across the street. WN? QQ FUIHIA W R25 Vaudeville 'rl' HE twenty seventh semi annual Vaudeville was held on the Y fl mr- 090 9 0 V!! N evenings of March 5 and 6 The Vaudeville is one of the oldest traditions of Berkeley High It not only serves to bring the school together but it furnishes an outlet for original talent in many lines The Vaudeville is one of the activities of the term which is looked forward to with J N1 T, 5 - - , , 1, ,g . . .

This last Vaudeville was no exception. The Berkeley High Orchestra, which for many years has had a state- wide reputation, started the program for the evening with the selection Co-Ed March after which the lights were dimmed and the entertain- ment was started. The irst skit, Syncopated Sailors, presented by Priscilla Gilman and Betty Terhune, was a lively act by the crew of one of the navy ships. It was a rare and talented crew, indeed, that entertained the onlookers. That the life of one who cooks for a noisy crew is a hard one was impressed on the audience by Madeline Hoppin. As the curtain closed, everyone was urged to join the navy and everyone would have been glad to cast his lot with those jolly tars.', Much Ado About Something or Otherf, by Jack Nesbit, enjoyed the distinction of being the only skit of its kind presented. It kept the audience in laughter during two short acts and the parts were excellently sustained. The third number, On Top of the World, took the spectators across the seas to the distant canals of Holland. The setting itself was a novelty and the Charleston danced by Myrle Roberts, Virginia Ripley, and Crosby Owens completed the effect. A number of well-known billboard friends, such as Old Dutch Clean- ser, Victor Records, and the Arrow Collar Man, entertained in Lest Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot by Ruth Shriber. At this period of the program the orchestra intervened with Victor Herbert's selection, Sweethearts The second half of the entertainment was opened with another ship scene entitled, Pleasure Bound. This act was presented by Evelyn Palmer. Tom McCord's impersonation of an announcer presenting the famous health restoring liquid, Jensen, and the master mind of William Harnett were the main features of this skit. However, some very clever dancing by Evelyn Palmer and Edych Henderson and some good singing by Suzanne Beazell and Jack Burke were also presented. Alton Triplett's number Musical Harmoniesv was greatly enjoyed by all. It showed how much harmony there really is in the popular music of the day. A saxaphone trio was an outstanding feature of this skit. Berkeley High was very fortunate this year in having Bob Zecher, Tom Dee, and David Garfinkle to give the audience some thrills and some laughs. Tom Dee, as a fairy, was superb, while he and Bob Zecher did wonders in the way of tumbling. Dave Garhnkle and Tom Dee made the audience gasp when they lifted such enormous weights as a thousand pounds. This skit was original and the kind that any audience enjoys. The program was concludedwith selections from the musical comedy Rose Marie. Emphasis was put on the most important parts and the idea of the comedy was well brought out throughout the skit. To a stirring exit march the audience left thinking, as usual, that this Vaudeville was the best ever. . Appreciation should be expressed to Jack Dempsey and Hugh Ditzler, for their help as stage managers, to the faculty, for their invaluable assistance, to Richard Sims, property manager, and Ellsworth Wagner, the electrician.

I I ' ' The team played sixteen games, winning nine and losing seven. The team was well-supported in games played on their home court and de- livered by winning all but one of the games played here. But it was a different story when the team went to other schools to play. They went practically unaccompanied by rooters. This hindered the team and it is hoped that this condition will not be so noticeable next season. A number of players are lost to next year's team by graduation but to offset this loss there will be many players who were developed this season. Morris, Hrst string forward, and Bartlett, first string guard, will both be back to form the nucleus of the 1927 team. So, taken all in all, the outlook for the I927 Basketball season is more than favorable. INDIVIDUALS Captain Bob Williains, the one veteran of last year's team, was the mainstay of the team,s offensive. He was a valuable man and will be sorely missed next season. Al Wilaiider, star of last year's 3o's, was the most consistent scorer on the team, being high point man for the season. He graduates in June. John Morris held down the other forward position in great style, being a consistent scorer and a reliable passer. He still has one season to go and should be the mainstay of next year's team. Stew Patterson was a center of the ideal type, tall and rangy. He was always good for the much-needed points. It will be hard to find a man to take his place. Bob Bartlett guarded Berkeley's goal in fine style, preventing many scores by his fight and good headwork. He will be seen on the court next season. Keith Lynn was one of the most valuable men on the squad, showing to best advantage in the Piedmont series. His lighting spirit will be missed next season. Jack Bateman, a forward of no mean ability, had a good shooting eye and could be relied upon to fill the shoes of the regular forwards. He graduates before another season. A Jim Coop played well, though handicapped by illness at the first of the season. He Hlled XVilander's shoes in good style when called upon. He graduates this June. T Dick Scarlett was a running guard, second only to Williams. He was a good shot as well as an accurate passer. He will be missed next season. Dave McVean was a man who could be trusted to replace any regular. His fighting spirit kept him on top. This is his last year. Jim Higgins was a man who was reliable in any position. He was a good shot and made many points. He graduates before another season. THE GAMES BERKELEY 1 1 - STANFORD FRESHMEN 27 The Yellowjackets opened the basketball season with a game played at Stanford. They were defeated by the more experienced cagers from the Farm, though the winners worked hard for every point they gained. Wilander and Morris divided high point honors for the losers. BERKELEY zo - MCCLYMONDS 1 6 Playing on their own court, Berkeley showed to better advantage and easily vanquished the Gakland team. Coach Eadie started the combina- tion of Morris and Wilander, forwards, Patterson, center 5 and Williams and Bartlett, guards. These five made up the first team throughout the season. BERKELEY 1 6 - NAPA 2 1 Outplayed by a team rated as one of the best high school teams in the state, Berkeley was defeated at Napa. The better teamwork of the winners gained them a well-earned victory. BERKELEY 34 - PoTTE1a I4 The Yellowjackets came back after a defeat and, showing better work in general, easily romped over their transbay opponents. Many substi- tutes were used including Higgins, Bateman, and Scarlett. BERKELEY 2 5 - ALUMNI I7 V The Wilander-Morris combination again proved successful and the regular team had no trouble in disposing of the Alumni. The floorwork of Captain Bob Williams was the feature of the contest. BERKELEY 1 3 - OAKLAND TECH 30 The jinx of a strange court again defeated the Yellowjackets and they lost to Tech after two victories on their home court. Tech used a rushing style of play, more football than basketball, which completely baffled the Red and Gold cagers. BERKELEY 2I -LIVERMORE 30 Berkeley remained in a slump and was easily beaten by the Cowboys. Morris was the star of the game and, incidentally, high point man, with six Held goals and a free throw. BERKELEY 20 - PIEDMONT 22 In this, the first A. C. A. L. game of the season, Berkeley, after trailing three quarters, came back and staged a heroic 1-ally which almost won the game. Trailing 22 to 8, with but five minutes to play, the Yellowjackets rallied and by sheer fight brought the score up to 22-20 as the gun sounded. The regular team was in the game during the rally and made it a game that will be long remembered. Wilander was high point man of the game and Bob Williams made Berkeley's rally possible with his floor- work and passing. BERKELEY 25 - FREMONT 22 Berkeley won on a strange court for the first time when they defeated Fremont in a hard-fought game. The Yellowjackets trailed at halftime but overcame the lead when Morris and Wilander each sank three field goals in the last half. BERIQELEY 23 - UNIVERSITY HIGH 20 In the second extra period Berkeley defeated University High when Bob Bartlett and Lynn each rang a field goal. The contest was hard- fought from start to finish. Lynn, McVean, Rowland and Scarlett were used and showed to good advantage in the extra periods. BERKELEY 23 - PIEDNIONT 8 By means of a defense, the like of which has not been seen' on the Red and Gold court for some time, Berkeley had no trouble in downing the Highlanders. Wilaiider had his eye on the bucket and shot six field goals. Captain Williains was playing forward in place of Morris, who was injured in the University High game. BERKELEY IO - PIEDMONT 20 Berkeley's chances at a state title faded into nothing when Ken Robie ran wild for the second time. The game started with both teams fighting for the lead but the High- landers steadily gained an upper hand which they held throughout the game. The regular line-up was in the game fighting to the last gun. BERKELEY 23 - RICHMOND zo Berkeley showed they were not disheartened over their defeat at the hands of the Purple and Wliite when they fought to come out on top of the score at Richmond. Wilander was high point man. BERKELEY I6 - MIssIoN 22 Berkeley suffered defeat at the hands of Mission, one of the strongest teams in the S. F. A. L., but Mission worked hard for their victory and deserve the credit. P BERKELEY 3 I - FACULTY I 9 The combination of Coaches Eadie, Parker, LeTendre, Gross, Cairnes, and Lamar proved ineffective against the superior regular Red and Gold team. LeTendre was high point man for the losers while Morris took honors for the winners. BERKELEY I9 - ST. MARY's IS Berkeley closed their season with a victory defeating the Saint Mary's Preps. Many substitutes were used, many of them for the first time. Wilander was shooting at will and took high point honors. The l3O9s THE SEASON .f www wr AKING everything as a whole, the 130 pound basketball season has been a success. A schedule of thirteen games was run through with the loss of but one game I, MW if Y :Wi ., a W ' up . This year marked the third season of Coach Al Park- X' 95a ' 'jeyg er s mentorship at Berkeley High of the Class B hoopsters. ings? EQQW-Q The squad had a wealth of experienced material around which to build a team, but, like their predecessors, they again lost the North Coast Section A championship game by a one point margin to a north county team. THE GAMES BERKELEY 28 - S. F. POLY 2I Having previously defeated the Poly lightweights 16 to I2 in our own gym, the Yellowjackets journeyed to the City and further demonstrated their superiority over the Sunset school by winning the second game 28 to 21. These conquests mark the first time in several seasons that the Red and Gold has triumphed over the Red and Black in the 130 pound hoop division. BERKELEY 24 - U. C. I3O,S I7 Blue and Gold bowed to the Berkeley Class B cagers when the Yellow- jackets, playing their best game of the season, completely downed the Cal. lightweights 24 to 17. As the California men had already defeated the Cardinal team decisively, this game shows clearly the class of the B,s and will stand as their greatest achievement of the season. BERKELEY 1 7 - HAYWARD ro To win the A. C. A. L. cage title, the class B team defeated the Hayward High lightweights I7 to 10. The score does not commence to show the superiority of the Yellowjackets who led at half time I I to 1. BERKELEY 1 1 - NAPA I2 Although the Berkeley B's had defeated the Napanese Indians 20 to 8 in the third game of the season, the up-state lightweights, playing unbeat- able ball, completely outclassed the Yellowjackets, winning by a I2 to II count. The Red and Gold cagers played one of the poorest games of the season. The first quarter was scoreless but, near the outset of the second quarter, the Napa team tallied four points and were never headed during the rest of the contest. INDIVIDUALS Captain Julius Freitag was a veteran from last yearis team. At stand- ing guard, he was a hard man for his opponents to get around. He was a good shot and many times gave his team a little more pep by coming out and scoring when the points were needed. Oscar Freitag, forward, was fast and consistent, and held the distinc- tion of being high point man of the squad. George Scott, a veteran, was the best running guard on the squad. His guarding was both spectacular and consistent. Peter Fry, playing his second year at center, helped his team by getting the jump over most of his opponents. William jackson, substitute center, made a name for himself by play- ing most of the Napa game. His ability to follow the ball was largely responsible for the low score made by the Napanese. Gerald Scarry, a veteran, was noted for his speed and fight. At both forward and running guard, he was a man to be feared by his opponents. Eldridge Farnsworth, forward, played in most of the games. His high arch shots were very pretty to watch and the satisfying thing about them was that they usually sunk through the basket. John Pugh's development as a standing guard was very rapid so that Coach Parker had no worries concerning a sub for this position. Richard Mansell, forward, was a man who was handy to have around. George Fiehn and Daniel Johnson, forwards, and Robert Dewell, guard, comprised the rest of the squad. These men, although they didn,t play very much, made the regulars step to hold their berths. Maurice Wrinkle was manager. BASEBALL TI-IE SEASON Zi 64 Z ITI-I the call for baseball candidates at the beginning of the 9 gig? ff-Sify 192.6 season, Coach Jennings was greeted by the appear- 5 51 It Ki! ance of one of the largest turnouts in several years. How- , ever, practically all of these men were newcomers and, as 63 M69 'mil all of the regulars from last year had been graduated, the s'-,fp 'rage greatest difficulty confronting the coach was to juggle his material around until the strongest combination was found. Very early in the season, a strong team was organized and they enjoyed what may be called one of the most successful practice seasons ever seen at Berkeley High. However, it was their fate to meet one of the strongest ball clubs Alameda has ever had and, although the games with the Encinal team were hotly contested, the Acorns won both games by 5 to 4 and 9 to 4 counts. Coach Jennings must be given credit for the aggregation he turned out this year and with the veterans who will be on hand next season his hopes for the A. C. A. L. and the North Coast laurels are high. Captain Russell McKeown, second baseman, will be the only regular to be lost through graduation. This leaves La Veque, catcher, Tierney, pitcher, Mattos, Freitag and Gill, infieldersg and Ambrose, Asaro, and Scarry, out- fielders, and all other regulars who will return for 1927. - fi fl Q ,Qi I' A ,,..- INDIVIDUALS Captain Russell McKeown, who was elected the day before the last game of the season, has been active in B. H. S. baseball circles for the past three years. Although he had never played in a regular berth before this season, his work around second base has always been worthy of com- mendation. Fernando Ambrose, a sub from last year's squad, was the regular centeriielder on the Yellowjacket team this year. He was a reliable field- er and a good batter. He should be one of the mainstays of next year's nine. Joe Asaro was the regular left field man. He held down this import- ant position with ability and showed great strength at bat. He is a scrub. Martin Tierney, a scrub, was Berkeley,s mound ace. He bore the brunt of Alameda's attack during the league games. Besides his pitching and batting strength, he led the best pitching staff Berkeley has had in several seasons. BERKELEY 7 - OAKLAND TECH 2 Continuing their good work, the Yellowjackets scored a victory over the strong Tech Bulldog nine by a 7 to 2 margin. This game was fast, despite the difference in the scores. BERKELEY 3 - CAL. FROSH 5 The B. H. S. baseballers lost their second game in four starts to the older and more experienced Cal. Frosh team by a 5 to 3 score. The Berkeley team played good ball and it was only in the last inning that the Cubs were able to forge ahead. BERKELEY 4 - ST. MARY,S PREPS 2 Red and Blue bowed to the Red and Gold when the Yellowjackets won the ball game 4 to 2. The contest was hard fought throughout. Very few innings passed without exciting moments. BERKELEY 7 - STANFORD FROSH 4 Journeying to Stanford, the Yellowjackets, with Peacock on the mound, took the Cardinal Babes into camp to the tune of 7 to 4. Pea- cock helped win his own game by clouting out a homer. BERKELEY IO -RICHMOND 2 In a game which was featured by a great number of errors and walks, the Berkeley team emerged on the long end of a IO to 2 score. The Oil City boys got only three hits. BERKELEY 3 - ROOSEVELT 4 Berkeley lost to the East Oaklanders in a loosely-played contest by a 4 to 3 score. The game was listless and lacked pep which may have been responsible for the defeat. BERKELEY 4- CAL. FRosH 8 As in their first game with the Cal. Frosh, the Berkeley team was de- feated in the last inning of the game. The Yellowjackets got off to an early lead but the sluggers of the first year men got their hits later in the game while Berkeley let down in their pace. 1 ' 1 BERKELEY 1 -FREMONT 5 Berkeley journeyed to Fremont and took a 5 to 1 trouncing at the hands of the Green and Gold team. As the Tigers are credited with the best ball club in the O. A. L., it is no disgrace for the Yellowjackets to lose to them. BERKELEY 4 - ALAMEDA 5 Leading until the last half of the ninth inning, the Yellowjackets were defeated when the Alameda Acorns came from behind and scored two runs, winning the ball game. Berkeley drew first blood when they scored in the first canto but their opponents came right back and evened the count in the third. To start the eighth, Berkeley led 4 to 1, but Alameda scored twice in both that inning and the ninth to win 5 to 4. Tierney pitched good ball but errors in the field ruined his chance of winning. BERKELEY 2 -- CONCORDIA 7 Having lost their first A. C. A. L. game the previous day, the Berkeley Yellowjackets played a listless and discouraging game with the Concordia College team and were defeated by a 7 to 2 score. BERKELEY 9 - CONCORDIA 7 However, the Red and Gold ball club took a new lease on life and, buckling down to business in their return game with the Concordia team, scored a 9 to 7 victory. This was the second game that the Collegians had lost during their 1926 season so the Yellowjackets deserve much credit for taking them down the line. BERKELEY - ALAMEDA 9 Berkeley High lost all chance of winning the A. C. A. L. baseball laurels when the Alameda ball club took them down in the second straight game of the series by a 9 to 4 count. Starting out strong, the Yellow- jackets scored two runs in the first inning on a homer by Tierney. La Veque also scored on a home run which he hit in the second. However, the Encinal team got in the running in the third and in the sixth inning tied the count at four all. Then a long circle clout by Bartell of Alameda with three men on base ruined the afternoon for the Red and Gold. Witli this game lost and the 1926 baseball season over, Berkeleyans are looking forward to the season of 1927, when the losses of the present will be wiped out by the victories of the future. i TRACK THE SEASON nw, S WE go to press, the 1926 Track season is drawing to a ,Q A close, with all sectional meets ended, except the State Meet ,625-91 ,Ken 545, in which Berkeleyis entry is rather doubtful, and the San . w?1.' N ' , ' if' - I ia: ' 'f' .IS 'I' '- 1 Q 1 E., Jose Re ay armva. i Berkeley should be proud of the Track team for 1tS 5 N3 having won eight out of nine meets, and then being beaten by the scant margin of only one point in the North Coast meet at Stanford The team was well coached by Mr. Lamar, aided by Ralph Frentrup of last year's track team, who donated his services to coach the Class B squad. Mr. Lamar started with few veterans, but developed a team which was almost unbeatable, as may be seen by the records they made. Becker, Browne, and Wentz, all of whom scored points in the North Coast meet, are Berkeley's biggest losses through graduation. Becker established a new North Coast record in the 8805 Browne was beaten but once in the broad jump, and Wentz lead the season's scoring and was elected Captain prior to the A. C. A. L. meet. But though the team loses many through graduation, there will be many left who will be the nucleus of next year's team, so that the outlook for the 1927 season is more than bright. INDIVIDUALS Cecil Wentz, a veteran of two seasons, was a consistent point gainer in the 100 and the 220, in which he usually broke the tape. He gradu- ates before another season and leaves a vacancy which will be hard to fill. Cecil was captain for the C. I. F. meets. Howard Flanders, though an inexperienced track man, gave his team- mates, as well as his opponents, many hard races. He ran the 100 and the 220, and ran a fast lap in the relay. Bill Barlow gained many points in the 220 and the 440, and was a member of the fast relay team. I-Ie is a middler and has another season ahead of him. Pitts is another veteran who could be counted upon to deliver with points. He ran the 440, usually beating the field to the tape. Bernard Becker was another man who, without previous experience, developed into a miler and an 880 man of no mean ability. Being a senior, he leaves a gap that will be hard to fill. Wayne Hodges was Berkeley's most consistent hurdler, often winning the high sticks. Don Dart was a hurdler in the unlimited division as well as a runner in the 50 and the 220 in the Class B division. He had a faculty of gaining points and will be missed next season. George Donnell topped che tall timber in good style, and many times led the field in the low hurdles. He will compete again next spring. Al Browne was one of the most consistent Hrst place winners on the team, almost always being good for five points in the broad-jump. He jumped consistently over zo feet. He will graduate before another season. - Dick Scarlett was second only to Browne in the broad-jump, often reaching 20 feet. He also garnered points in the shot put. He graduates in June. Newell Clement was a high jumper who could be trusted to deliver in the pinches. When the going was rough, he could be depended upon to clear the bar. He is a middler. Ed Suter was another high-jumper who cleared the bar at close to 5 feet IO inches. Keith Lynn, a veteran of the last year's team was again seen pole- vaulting and high-jumping his way into the score column. This is his last season. Dave Garfinkel was Berkeley's best bet in the discus and he often scored in the shot. This is his second and last season. Barney Gow was a sure point winner in the javelin, consistently tossing the spear over 140 feet. He also put the shot. Being a senior, his place must be filled by someone else next year. Ernie Rowland hurled the discus. He also was good for occasional points in the javelin. He has another season to go. Kenneth Carlson was a dependable broad jumper and also threw the discus. He will compete another season. Dwayne Doe was the fourth member of the relay team in addition to throwing the discus. George Scott was handicapped by a late start, but ran a fast mile for many of those desired points. CLASS B TRACK Jimmy Beazell was a usual Hrst place gainer in the eight pound shot. He has one more season before him and should develop into a first class performer. Warren Wright was a sprinter who covered the 50 and zzo in fast time. He will be likely material for next year's squad. Bob Kenward also put the shot in the B division, sometimes giving Beazell a fight for scoring honors. THE NOVICE MEET The Track season at Berkeley was opened with the Novice Meet at which many prospective candidates for the regular squad were discovered. The meet was run off in good style with the Seniors taking first, the Middlers second, and the Scrubs third. Those placing in the meet, who afterwards became members of the regular squad, were: Flanders in the sprintsg Becker and Barlow in the middle distances, Hodges and Donnell in the hurdles, Gow and Garfinkel in the field events. ALUMNI MEET The team's first taste of competition came in this meet and Berkeley had no trouble in defeating her more seasoned rivals, though the Alumni were represented by such men as Beebe, Ulsh, Wiessel, Cross, and Sperry. In spite of its being the first meet, some good times were turned in. Those who showed up well were Wentz, Barlow, King, Pitt, Garfinkel, and Lynn. - OAKLAND HIGH SCHOOL MEET Berkeley's first start against an outside school resulted in an easy victory by the safe score of 682 to 4On. The team showed great improvement over their earlier starts and, as a result, better times were turned in. Many new men placed who showed promise of becoming leading contenders in future meets. Among those were Rucker, Gow, Flanders, Becker, Barlow, Wentz, and Browne. In the Class B, Beazell showed to good advantage in the shot. SAINT MARY,S MEET After their improved showing in the Oakland meet, Berkeley again demonstrated her superiority, downing the St. Mary,s Preps by the score of IZS 7fI5 to 23 8fI5. The following showed to good advantage: Becker, who won both the 880 and mile, and Wentz, who won a very hotly contested Ioo. MOUNT DIABLO MEET Berkeley's next meet proved to be a farce, Berkeley winning 145 to her opponent's 4. The meet was uninteresting to watch because the winners were having a track meet all their own and, as they took their time about running their races, no records were broken. Those who placed well were Wentz, Becker, Barlow, Pitts, Hodges, Clement, O'Neill, and Gow. OAKLAND TECHNICAL MEET The Tech meet proved to be the most interesting of the dual meets, affording Berkeley the hardest competition. However, in spite of this competition, Berkeley won the meet by a score of 78 to 34. Becker again delivered, winning the 88o and the mile. Flanders, Wentz, Barlow, Pitts, Scarlett, Browne, and O,Neill also placed in their events. THE GAKDALE MEET This meet was scheduled as a triangular meet with Lodi but, since the latter could not participate, a dual meet was held which Berkeley won 89 Ifs to S9 Ifs- The boys from the valley proved worthy opponents for Berkeley, many of the Red and Gold men being beaten for the first time this season. As this meet was about a week before the A. C. A. L. meet, it gave Coach Lamar something to base his A. C. A. L. team selection on. A. C. A. L. Berkeley kept her string of victories intact by running wild at this meet, scoring in every event and winning almost all of them. The meet finished with Berkeley first with IZS points, Alameda, second with 562 g Piedmont, third with 92 . Many fast times were made by Berkeley runners. The best record was made by Wentz in the Too when he broke the A. C. A. L. record, being timed at Io: I seconds. One of the most exciting races of the day was the mile in which Becker, after running neck and neck with an Alameda runner for the whole race, was nosed out at the finish by a scant yard. In the javelin, Gow took an easy first place, leading the rest of the field by twenty feet. Browne and Scarlett placed first and second, re- spectively, in the broad jump, both doing over twenty feet. RICHMOND HIGH ScHooL While the Hrst squad was training for the North Coast Meet, the second squad was busy defeating the regular Richmond team. Though only those not competing in the North Coast meet partici- pated in this meet, many good records were made and Berkeley won by a comfortable margin. NORTH COAST MEET Berkeley made a good showing at the North Coast Meet, though nosed out of Hrst place by Palo Alto High by the scant margin of one point. Berkeley had the honor of having one of her entrants break a record of long standing. This was done by Becker who broke the record for the 880 by two seconds. The other who placed were: Browne, first in the broad jump, Hodges, second in the high hurdles, Wentz, second in the loo and third in the zzog Scott, third in the mile, Donnell, third in the low hurdles, Scarlett, third in the broad jump, and Garfinkel, third in the discus. -L- 2- - Lg. - 2 :T X A! ' , :v::f. 1 2 i x 1 SWIMMING THE SEASON 5,0 'gf-gy, EY XVIIVIMING at Berkeley High during the 1926 season, pre- vious to the time that the Olla Podrida went to press, had enjoyed unprecedented success. Wfith only one defeat to 13 mar an otherwise perfect record, and with overwhelming cgli spl l victories over several transbay teams, Coach Eadie has every hope that the Red and Gold squad will again annex both the A. C. A. L. and the North Coast titles this year. Although the men who will graduate before next season carried the greater part of the work, Coach Eadie, with an eye to the future, has developed men who will be on next year's squad. From all indications, this squad should be a formidable aggregation that will represent Berkeley High next spring. Witli very few veterans around whom to build his team, Coach Eadie must be congratulated for the way he hasrbrought the squad along. He was handicapped by the ineligibility of some of his stars at the beginning of the season and later on at the end of the second marking period his 22o and 440 yard free style entries were swept clean, due to deficiencies in studies. As the Pod goes to press, the Yellowjackets are almost certain of winning the A. C. A. L. meet as both Alameda and Piedmont have com- paratively weak teams. However, from all present indications, Berkeley and Palo Alto will have a tussle for the N. C. S. laurels as these two teams appear to be the strongest in the section. INDIVIDUALS Rudolph Pahl was Berkeley,s best man in the sprints. His time in the 50 and Ioo yard free style events was very close to the N. C. S. records. Wlien the call was sounded for the relay, Rudy', was on hand for that event also. He is a senior and his loss will be felt. Donald McCarthy, the diminutive plunger, was also a valuable man in the diving and 220 yard free style events. He has one more year and should make a name for himself next season. Bola Lowe, a senior, was Berkeley's best breast stroke man. He holds the Berkeley High record in this event. He also swam in the relay so his place will be hard to ill. Stewart Patterson was a plunger as well as a breast stroke and relay man of no mean ability. He has been on the Berkeley swimming team for three years. Since he graduates in June, he will be missed in these events next year. Hill Lambert was a new man who was a consistent point getter in the backstroke. He is a high middler so he will be an important cog in next year's team. Sidney Parsons came out for swimming in his last year at Berkeley. He was a good diver and his form on the springboard won many points for the Red and Gold. Jack Dempsey also took a try at swimming during his senior year and, although he suffered through inexperience, nevertheless, he was a man who could be depended upon to place. Harvey Dixon was a man who was a sure hit for points in the back- stroke. He is a senior and his place will be hard to fill next year. Ward Woods was the best Berkeley man in the Class B go and 150 yard free style events. He also swam on the relay team and usually won his lap. He is a middler and will be on hand in 1927. Beresford Harding was a strong bet for a place in the go yard free style events. He also swam in the relay. He is a scrub. Duncan Macdonald, a middler, swam the go and ISO yard Class B free style events and the relay in fast time. Radford Lyon swam the 220 yard free style in fast time to win a place in most of the meets. He is a middler. Ray Rann, a middler, will be on hand next season to take care of the Ioo yard free style. He was handicapped this season due to his absence but he should be a valuable man next year. He also swam in the relay. Barney Allen was a good plunger but he lacked experience. How- ever, as he has two years ahead of him at B. H. S., he should be of great value to the squad next year. Robert Cruz, Class B go yard free style man, and Neil Southwick, 440 yard free style, were on hand in the meets to capture an odd point or two. .. 'v ..h -.l'..,,. '.

' ' Mention must be made of the service rendered by Willard Retelle, Richard Newmeyer, Pendleton Noyes, Frank Walton, and John Watson, members of last year's championship swimming team, for the efficient Way in which they ofhciated at the various meets. Fred Berry, a middler, acted in the capacity of manager of the squad. A large part of the success of the team may be attributed to his efficiency. As he has another year, he will be senior manager next season. THE NOVICE MEET The Novice meet was featured by the large number of new boys who came out. Some comparatively good times were turned in by the swimmers. Clark Nelson, who was individual high point man of the meet, encountered no difficulty in annexing a hrst place in both the go and Ioo yard free style events in fast early season time. The 50 yard free style Class B race was won by Cruz who dashed off the distance in close to record time. As this meet was mostly individual effort, the high point men were Nelson with ten points and Pahl, Stead, and Brasford with eight tallies each. THE INTERCLASS MEET With the novices and veterans competing in the Interclass meet, times were made that would make the heart of any coach happy. Nelson won the 50 and Ioo yard free style races, breaking the interclass record in the Ioo yard sprint. This meet showed that the I926 Yellowjacket paddlers would have a formidable aggregation entered in the league meets. For the grade championships, the Seniors garnered 42 points to win while the Middlers and Scrubs accumulated 3 I and za points, respectively. Mr. Winter's advisory was first with a total of I 3 points, while Mr. Lead- er's and Miss McCoy's groups amassed I2 and 1 I tallies, following close behind. BERKELEY 3 7 - LOWELL 58 In their first taste of interscholastic competition, the Red and Gold paddlers bowed to their transbay oponents by a 58 to 37 defeat. The Berkeley swimmers were greatly handicapped by the salt water and the length of Sutro Baths. Although the score would not seem to indicate a close meet, many events were closely contested. Egan of Lowell was tied with Woods of Berkeley for high point honors. Both captured two firsts. To win the plunge, Patterson used his height to advantage and, by a little extra stretching, managed to win the plunge with a three-inch margin. BERKELEY 5 9 - LOXVELL 3 6 Wlien the last Berkeley relay man had touched the end of the tank and Berkeley had won the relay and the meet to make it a perfect after- noon as far as the Yellowjackets were concerned, the swimmers of both schools knew that they had been through a battle. Lowell had previously defeated Berkeley in the first meet of the season for the Yellowjackets by a 58 to 37 count. But, the Berkeley team came back at Lowell and de- feated them by two points more than they had been beaten. Egan of Lowell easily captured first individual honors by taking three first places and a third for a total of sixteen of his team's tallies. BERKELEY 76 - GALILEO I9 Berkeley,s meet with Galileo was a repetition of the Berkeley-S. F. Poly tangle. The only difference was that Coach Eadie entered his strongest swimmers in each event. Several of the events were featured by struggles between Berkeley teammates for first place. An upset occurred in the breast stroke event when Patterson, who had always been considered several seconds slower than Lowe defeated him by a nose.,' The Yellowjackets scored first places in every event, except the 220 yard free style. De Silva was the star of the transbay outfit with 8 points. At no time during the meet were the Berkeley paddlers in danger of losing their supremacy. N-I ..-.-.. if isa TENNIS , swag, ww ff ENNIS at Berkeley High this spring enjoyed what may be called its best season in many years from the standpoint of close competition and interest in the sport by both the student body and the players. j As a whole, the team was only average in comparison lgkgjl? EQWQ with former B. H. S. tennis squads. There was no out- standing player, but the team composed of Harvey Derne, James McCor- mick, James Higgins, Lemuel Matthews, and Theodore Ludlow presented a formidable aggregation. The Yellowjacket net men tasted defeat from the California and the Stanford Frosh aggregations, Lowell, University, and San Diego High and the Berkeley Tennis Club Juniors. However, they scored victories over the St. Mary's Preps, Oakland Technical, Oakland High, and the Stockton High teams. Berkeley won two of its seven matches in the A. C. A. L. to tie with Alameda. Piedmont captured the titles of three matches out of seven. Jim Higgins won his singles match and the Derne-Matthews combination took a match of the doubles. With only .Derne and Ludlow around whom to build his I927 net squad, Coach Le Tendre will be confronted with quite a large problem in getting together a strong team next spring. G. A. A. HE G. A. A. is an organization of which .. 7'Ci ' l ' th h lkn nd in every gir in e sc oo ows a which she should be interested. It M , midi' teaches things that we can never learn from books: self-control and how to play the game squarely. In turning from sport to the game of life these things will be found of more importance and value than anything we can learn, and it is in looking forward to the future that our coaches teach these things now in our games. In the future I hope more girls will come out and help us build the G. A. A. until it surpasses all that it has ever been before. MARIAN TOBIN. Swimming I if I ' Bl..

This certainly shows that swimming has lost none of its former popularity and has gained some more this term. There have been advanced and beginning classes on Monday and Wednesday. After fundamental drill- ing during the first part of the semester, the main goal is the team which requires ability, sportsmanship, attendance, scholarship, and health. Three teams were chosen-one in each year-which competed in a meet to determine the school championship.

Because she is learn- ing to be a good sport. The basketball season was what We would ordinarily call a howling success. The final game was played on March I9 between the High I2 and Low I I girls with the Low I I group on the long end of the score. After the game a banquet was held for all the basketball girls. On this occasion the girls bid goodbye to basketball until next spring. The members of the cham- pionship team were Marjorie Albee, Rosa Bloom, Bernice Peterson, Julia Peterson, Janet Sperry, Clara Thieme, Ruth Thieme, Ruth Toussaint, Evelyn Wilson, and Margot Young. The girls who were members of the other teams were Flora Anderson, Margaret Bailey, Sylvia Batdorf, Beat- rice Baylis, Ada Mae Block, Barbara Block, Julia Broderson, Ruth Brott, Ruth Brown, Nancy Burnell, Inez Carbone, Elizabeth Cawthorne, Ruth Cawthorne, Frances Clark, Alicia Cooper, Lucienne Delabriandais, Mad- eline Eistrat, Kathryn Frickstad, Toshiko Fuju, Marjorie Haynke, Rhoda Hearn, Marjorie Hughes, Edna Husing, Clara King, Agnes Lehtonen, Holley Lynip, Lois McCausland, Kathryn McCullagh, Linda Olson, Ma- thilda Ronne, Crissie Rossetos, Mary Smith, Theodosia Stephens, Beth Strickland, Ethel Tibbetts, Naomi Tingley, Marion Tobin, Yaye Toga- sake, Neva Wave, Jacqueline Watkins, Verda Webb, Florence Welch, Mildred Williges and Gertrude Woodward. 9 if T' g ff As Q..

The exercises, which perhaps to the outside observer seem stupid, make for grace and symmetry in the Berkeley High girls. A joyful time has been had on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, when, in company with other nymphs, spirits soar and feet become winged, as music is interpreted to fit different moods. The Dance Drama, entitled Six who pass while the Lentils Hail, was prepared this semester. The story centered around the Queen who was doomed to die because of accidentally stepping on the King's Great Aunt's toe. The portrayal of the Queen, King, and the villagers took clever people to put it over but it was done. Especially on the part of the villagers was there a chance for interesting development of the different phases of village life at a beheading. Have no horror of the sight of a murder for all turned out happily in the end and none of our girls were killed. ,nz - T T: r.,. , i.,, Archery lxjn .-,, . . Q ' 3,4 A. ..

Quite a large number of girls has turned out, considering that it is the first term that archery has been offered. The girls have to supply their own arrows, but the bows are furnished by the G. A. A. Girls who do not care to participate in the more strenuous sports may take archery and gain points for G. A. A. membership and the much-coveted pin. Archery requires a steady aim, a good eye for direction and dis- tance, and good form. Miss Harwood has proved herself a competent coach for this sport in developing girls who can hit the bull's eye. Outing Club swam ww HE bear went over the mountain has come to be a . favorite song with X1 'W ..f fr , 4 f 6.55 gina most of the mem- fstcxvli Nfl? bers of the Out- .f . ing Club. The girls certainly acted the part of the bear during the Easter vacation when twenty- three of them, chaperoned by three teachers, made their way ten miles across the hills of Marin County to Stinson Beach where they stayed for four days. There have been several hikes this term to various points of interest where the girls have learned various things about Nature while enjoying the healthy outdoor air. Besides the hikes there have been sev- eral horseback rides and skating parties this term. Homewalking and tennis also come under the Outing Club. The Outing Club was first organized in the spring of 192 1 to promote outdoor activities among the girls. Many girls who cannot spend the time required for after-school sports can occasionally find time for a hike or a ride. By doing this they benefit their health and make pleasant friendships with the girls who take an active part in the functions of the G. A. A. Since the addition of archery to the after-school sports, there has been no regular teacher for Outing Club and, consequently, the girls have had the pleasure of being chaperoned by various gym teachers at different times. Even members of the science faculty have accompanied the girls on some trips. The points that may be made from Out- ing Club each semester are awarded on the 2 following basis: 25 points for 40 miles of hiking. 25 points for walking 105 miles t o and from school and taking one 5-mile hike. 25 points for 25 hours of tennis.

A leader is in charge. Taking charge of the class in the absence of the teacher is one of the duties of the leaders. Other duties are to assign umpires for different groups, take out and return equipment, and return score sheets to the teacher. Aside from these duties, which each leader is expected to perform, she must attend the meetings of the class which have been held this semester in the Little Theatre, on Fridays, period III. Here, various careers for women have been discussed by different girls. Along this line, also, programs have been given after school on April 13, May 4, and May 25. At these meetings newspaper work, architecture, and gymnasium work have been presented by well-known women in these fields. This semester an entirely new group of girls was selected and they are now acquiring the knowledge that the other groups have had oifered to them. Each girl is, in this way, receiving instruction for leadership in every walk of life. I - - AY .,,. . ,. . , , Baseball T Fair ball calls the umpire. What happens then? Af- T ter a rapid sequence of events the bats- man is found safe on first base and the ball in the pitcher's hand ready to be pitched again. Such is baseball. This sport has been very popular this semes- ter. Practice has been held, as usual, twice each week and the girls have wished there were more. This goes to show the popularity of baseball. There was a great deal of enthusiasm among the scrubs which seemed to be contagious and ended in a good turnout from all the classes. Tr ack Track, which was given for the first time in several semesters, has been a fine success under the very able coaching of Miss Kelley. The events offered this year were the high jump, the hop step jump, the standing broad jump, the base- ball throw for distance, the bas- ketball throw for distance, javelin and discus throwing, the 50 yard dash, and hurdle jumping. The girls were allowed to partake in the events and ine material has been developed. In track, health, speed, and strength are three requirements so it has been necessary for the girls to keep training to keep in the best condition pos- sible. Finding one person making better speed than you have puts something in you to push along and make you win. This spirit is carried into the classroom by our tracksters and helps to make our school IOOLZ in line scholarship. Fine competition has been encountered in every line which has made it difficult to choose the teams. .J - Af 1. 2 P A 3 F P xx P k 1?
