BERKELEY PUBLIC LIBRARY 01 Published by ithe students of i5erkeley iHICH SCHOOL 1 FALL 1935 OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT A fixe spirit of cooperation has prevailed in the school this semester. This is the spirit which makes us carry on so well in spite of the broken down condition of our plant. We have lost the u e of our Physical Education Building, which included gymnasiums, swimming pools, lockers, showers, and nine standard classrooms. Only half of our Auditorium has been restored to us. so that we are forced to assemble out of doors. Our Commercial Department lost its main building. Part of our Home Economics Department is located in an old home three blocks away. Our Music Department uses a tent and two old homes. Everywhere there is crowding and inconvenience. In spite of these discomforts, there has never been a better spirit in the school. Most of our students bought student body cards, and made it possible to issue the Olla Podrida ' by their subscriptions. They attended the games in crowds, and bought out the house, for our Vaudeville performance, on the hrst day. All of our student body officers have done their duty well. The students who represent us in athletics, dramatics, art. music, public speaking, and all of those activities where the school and public meet, have given us reason to feel proud of them. Our audiences at games and shows have displayed the best of sports- manship and good conduct. We have made good in spite of our handicaps. This is the spirit which we like to feel is Berkeley High ' s — unconquered. determined to progress, true to the best which is in each of us. and loyal to the school ' s fine traditions. C if. sr.

He was a very valuable man to the team and his loss will be greatly felt next year. Mel Reid, half, was a High Ten this year and should be a big star in his remaining two years. He was a good punter, an excellent open field runner, and a valuable place kicker. Franny Gray was quite a handy man to have around. Playing end, half, and full throughout the season, he excelled in all of these positions. Bob Fairchild, quarter, was one of the greatest open field runners ever to trod the Berkeley gridiron. Expert on field generalship, and a keen punt returner, Bobby was an important part of the Berkeley team, and will be greatly missed next year. Jack Heaslett, tackle, was a peppy and fighting ball player, con- stantly after the ball carrier. Jack was a good man all around, and an important cog in the line. Warren Ronneberg, tackle, was a fullback last year but was changed to tackle to give the line additional strength. He was expert on defense, a hard tackier, and also a good man for opening up holes in the oppon- ent ' s line. Bob Schwedhelm, guard, showed his fight in advancing from the Goofs to first string squad. He was the heaviest man on the squad but was always fast enough to stop many of the opponent ' s plays. Ken Sutherland, guard, had a specialty for opening holes in the line. Not many opposing players got through Ken ' s place in the line. He also gave excellent blocking to the backfield men. John Allen, end, was an expert pass snatcher and a demon on de- fense. He always got his man out of the play. Johnny was an excellent running mate for Biggerstaff. When needed, he could pass or place kick. Bill Biggerstaff, end, was a two-year man on the Unlimiteds. With Johnny Allen, he made up the best end combination in Northern Calif- ornia. He also did some punting. It will be hard to replace him next year. Bob Helrich, center, was an excellent passer, and also backed up the line well. He was a hard man for his opponents to manage. Bob usually played throughout the entire game. Jim Lindsay was a substitute tackle but saw quite a lot of action. Jim was a dependable man and always let his opponents know he was in the game. Pete Backos, full, played excellent ball, being a hard line plunger, and a good blocker. Due to an injury, he missed the middle of the sea- son, but saw some action in the last few games. Bob Allen, quarter, was a star on the Bees last year. He also car- ried on in the same style on the first team. He was a good punter and field general. Hamilton Nicol, quarter, did not see much action this year but al- ways was dangerous when in the game. Hammy was a good field general, and an open field runner. George Machek, half, was a deadly blocker and an excellent de- fensive man. He took good care of the left halfback position and will be hard to replace next year. FOOTBALL SEASON The 1935 Yellowjacket season proved to be one of the most suc- cessful since the days of the famous Chili Bertoli. It marked the return of Berkeley ' s supremacy over Piedmont. This is enough to make any Red and Gold season a success. The defensive, as well as the offensive, strength of the Jackets this year was surprising. With only two veterans from last year ' s first team, Bill Biggerstaff and Warren Ronneberg, the team was supposed to be very light and weak this year. However, boys up from the second team and the Reserves, through sheer fight and determination, formed a team which East Bay experts rated as one of the best in Northern California. In the four practice games, the Yellowjackets were victorious in three, tying one, the season ' s opener, to Mission 7-7. Following the Mission game, the Jackets defeated Galileo 19-7, St. Mary ' s 12-7, and Santa Rosa 6-0. A scheduled game with Commerce was called off. The A.C.A.L. league was augmented this year by the addition of Richmond and Hayward. Against these schools, and the other original schools, Piedmont and Alameda, the Yellowjackets took second place with three victories and one defeat. Richmond won the crown. The Jackets opened the A.C.A.L. by completely outclassing Hay- ward, 45-0. The big game of the season, the Piedmont game, resulted in a sensational Red and Gold victory. By virtue of two long runs by Bob Fairchild, the Jackets defeated their arch enemies, the Highlanders, 14-0. In a battle to decide the A.C.A.L. championship, the Richmond Oilers handed the Jackets their only defeat of the year, 7-0. The Jackets wound up the season by defeating Alameda, 12-0.

Mis- sion scored first, in the second period, on a 30 yard pass from Mike Klotovich to Smith, Bear end. Klotovich converted. The Berkeley tally came in the third quarter when Bob Fairchild ran a Mission punt back 40 yards through the entire Bear ranks. Mel Reid converted. Bill Bigger- staff was captain for the game. Berkeley 19— Galileo 7 The Yellowjackets traveled to San Francisco to play Galileo and had revenge for last season ' s defeat. The first Berkeley touchdown came in the second period when Pete Backos threw a 30 yard pass to Don Maehler. Bob Fairchild accounted for the other B.H.S. scores, one on a 50 yard return of a Lion punt, and the other on a tricky lateral pass play, good for 65 yards. Mel Reid converted one touchdown. Contos scored all points for the Lions. The Jackets were led in this game by Johnny Allen, star end. Berkeley 12— St. Mary ' s 7 Showing one of the greatest exhibitions of fight and coolness seen in the Bay area all season, the Yellowjackets defeated St. Mary ' s High 12-7 on the Gaelet ' s field. Berkeley scored in the first quarter after a 60 yard march. A pass from Franny Gray to Bill Biggerstaff produced the touch- down. The conversion was not good. St. Mary ' s, on a 30 yard pass from Lane to Hernandez, and a conversion by Lane put the Gaelets ahead 7-6 with four minutes left to play in the game. Berkeley, receiving the ball, marched 60 yards in eight plays to send Bob Fairchild over the goal line for the points that meant the game. Jack Heaslett captained the Jackets. Berkeley 6— Santa Rosa 0 Facing one of the strongest teams of the year, the Yellowjackets downed Santa Rosa 6-0 on the B.H.S. field. It was a defensive battle with neither team going far inside their opponent ' s 30 yard line. Berke- ley accounted for her lone tally when Bob Fairchild galloped 45 yards through the entire Panther team for a touchdown. Ken Sutherland, fighting guard, was the Jackets ' leader. Berkeley 45— Hay ward 0 Scoring at will, the Yellowjackets opened their A.C.A.L. season by swamping Hay ward 45-0 on the Farmer ' s field. Bob Allen and Franny Gray scored two touchdowns while Don Maehler, Earl Callaway, and Bob Fairchild scored one each. George Machek converted twice and Johnny Allen once. The entire Jacket squad was in the game. Warren Ronneberg was captain for the day. Berkeley 14— Piedmont 0 By virtue of two long runs by Bob Fairchild, the Yellowjackets, in a sea of mud, won the big game of the year against Piedmont 14-0, this ending a string of three Highlander victories. The game, played in a driving rain that bogged down the offensive drives of the two teams, was uneventful, except for the wonderful gallops of Berkeley ' s diminu- tive safety man, Bob Fairchild. In the second period, Fairchild took a Highlander punt on his own 20-yard line and dodged through the entire Piedmont team 80 yards for the tally. Fairchild tossed a pass to Bill Biggerstaff for the conversion. Catching another Highlander punt on his own 10-yard line, Fairchild reversed the field and ran down the side- lines 90 yards to pay dirt (or rather mud). Franny Gray bucked the line for the extra point. The entire Jacket team went well, the forward wall being very effective. Franny Gray was captain for this game. Berkeley 0— Richmond 7 The winning streak of the Yellowjackets was halted when the Rich- mond Oilers, equipped with a fast, well-balanced team, turned the tables on Berkeley, 7-0. The Jackets were kept deep in their own territory the entire game due to the consistent kicking of Fred Ball, Oiler half. Rich- mond made their lone tally in the third quarter when Glen Whalen, half, intercepted Bob Fairchild ' s pass and galloped 30 yards to a touchdown. Jim Wilson converted. Bob Fairchild captained the Jackets. It was a well-earned victory for Richmond and gave them the A.C.A.L. champion- ship. Berkeley 12— Alameda 0 The Yellowjackets wound up their 1935 season by copping a 12-0 victory over Alameda at Neptune Stadium. Both Berkeley tallies came in the second quarter. The first tally came when Mel Reid, half, tossed a 20 yard pass to Johnny Allen who continued for 15 more yards to a touchdown. Three plays later Mel Reid took a punt on his 16-yard line and, behind perfect blocking, rambled 84 yards to a score. Captain Bob Helrich led the Jackets. THE BEES At the beginning of the season, Coach Gross was greeted by only seven returning lettermen from last year ' s squad, and with them he set about molding a team that would not only preserve the winning streak of the Bees, but also establish definitely in the minds of those who follow Bee football that their victories have been accomplished only by su- perior play. Against eight teams of their nine-game schedule, the Bees turned in decisive victories while the remaining one was a scoreless tie with the Albany Unlimiteds. Amassing a total of 237 points to a mere 6 scored against them, the Bees averaged 26.3 digits per game which should be enough to win any game. The success of the team this year, as well as in other years, was due t o the whole-hearted cooperation among the players inspired by their coach. Boasting three backfield aces that would do credit to any high school track team, it is needless to say that where speed and deception were concerned the Bees were not lacking. The greatest element of the consistent ground gaining plays was, however, the excellent blocking that the backfield received by the powerful line. This point has been stressed time and again by Coach Gross in practice and every player that graduates from the Bees is at least an accomplished blocker.

A regular, Hibino did most of the passing and kicking, and was a consistent ground gainer. He has another year of football at Berkeley. Ola vi Laakso was the most outstanding defensive man on the team. His ability to open up holes while on the offensive was also a great asset to the team. Olavi is a junior. Harold Kuhl was not a running back, but was a very valuable man because of his fine blocking. When he tackled a man, he usually stayed put. Harold is a senior and plays fullback. Francis Hall, a senior, has completed his third and final year at the pivot position on the Bees. During his time, he has usually made it tough for the opposition. At running half . Al Tracy, a senior, was raising havoc with the oppos- ing teams until he was forced to be dropped from the squad about mid- season, having exceeded the age limit. John Bernardo, tackle, who will be lost by graduation, deserves lots of credit for his fine work. He has been an outstanding player. John Moisan, elusive halfback, was known as the fastest man on the squad. Many points were due to his exceptional open field running. He is a junior. At the other tackle position, Al Savedra was playing some sensational ball until he too, like Tracy, had to be dropped because of the age ruling. Al is a senior. Because he always turned in a hard, heady brand of ball, Paul Huber, tackle, helped to make a veritable wall of the Berkeley line. He gradu- ates. Bob Francis, an eleventh grader, took care of one of the flanks and was unequaled in snagging passes and halting opposing threats. Tom Hartwell ' s specialty was barking the signals and when the extra point was needed, Tom was right there drop kicking them through the uprights. He graduates. Al France: has played his second year at end for the Bees. His ser- vice both on offense and defense was very valuable to the team. Jack Brodrick returned to the Bee lineup late in the season after allowing his injured arm to heal. Being a fast man, he got away for many long runs. Jack is a senior. Dick Dulaney, at guard, along with Olavi Laakso made a hard combination to separate in halting those center smashes. Dick is a junior. Jack Saunders, a plunging halfback, was also noted for his kicking and passing. He graduates. Max Thelen, who alternated with Money Hall at center, was a fight- ing and heady ball player to contend with. He is a senior. Bill Saunders, Jack ' s twin brother, filled in at fullback, and in ad- dition to being a bear on defense, was noted for his fine blocking. Dick Hemp, a senior, who alternated at left end and who did very nicely there, too, was known as a hard fighter. RESERVES The Reserves under Coach Erickson have completed a very success- ful season. Playing a schedule of nine games, they have won seven, lost one to Crockett High, and tied the opening game with Oakland High 0-0. The main purpose of the Reserves is to develop good players so that in later terms they may be of value to the first team. Those who have shown promise are: Jimmy Van Slyke, tenth grade quarterback; Joe Sena, tenth grade fullback; Emmett Teasdale, first year halfback, and Herbe rt Faulkner, eleventh grade halfback. In the line at ends Melvin Wehrlie and Henry Sims, tenth graders, were outstanding; Bob Reid and Charles Turnoff, eleventh graders, were at the tackles; Bob Aldea, first year, and Al Delamar, junior, were the most promising guards, while George Lindsay in his first year played fine ball at center. Those who are graduating and, according to Mr. Erickson, deserve merit for their fine work are: Dan Umberger, halfback; Abe Gurrola, fullback, and Dick Calais, halfback; in the line Bill Hirst at end; Pete Boxill and Bob Meeker at tackles ; John Lissolo at guard, and Wil- mon Ayer at center. The only setback the Reserves suffered was to the first team of Crockett High, 12-6, who later went on to win the Contra Costa league competition.

The purpose of the Fall Track program is to teach the fundamentals of track and field events, and to develop speed, en- durance, and good form in preparation for the regular season. With each squad under the leadership of an experienced track man, four teams were chosen for intramural competition. In the final meet, held on November 6, Bill Dunbar ' s Notre Dame outfit took first place, while the Navy, under Captain Lynwood McLean, took second. Third was the Berkeley Fliers group, captained by George Dennett, and fourth came the Yellowjackets, headed by Clarendon Barbarus. Some excellent performers were brought to light during the term ' s session, including Bob Dickinson, sprinter; Bill Dunbar, hurdler; George Dennett and Bill Doble, distance runners; and Lowell Smith, pole vaulter. Towards the close of the season the Red and Gold squad combined with that of Alameda High against the California Frosh, the yearlings winning by a small margin. Other veterans who made a fine record during fall training were Ronald Hanan, Jack Lannon, John Brothers, Lynwood McLean and Clarendon Barbarus. Out of the encouraging crop of new boys come Norman Wiley, George Van Buskirk, Bill Snyder, Robert Wilson, Law- rence McLean, Robert Kennon, Frank Sinclair, Harold Sidmore, Henry Husing, George Pettygrove. Harry Bolen, Jack Henderson, Richard Brown, Robert Morris, Jerome Richardson, Hubert Trier, George Durg- gan, Bill Doble, Bob Gegan, Grant Thorne, Richard Colburn, Eugene Ellis, Alan Knapp, Masanobu Takano, Greville Way, Gerald Helrich, Robert Bower, John Benson, Charles Orett, Benny Benonys and Elmer Lyons. INTRAMURAL TENNIS Intramural tennis for those who were not members of last term ' s tennis team was organized this fall under the supervision of Mr. Parker. Lee Blodget was manager. The competition was run off in the form of a ladder, with the lower players challenging those who ranked above them. The players who rank highest at the end of the term will become members of the 1936 Tennis Team. Those who signed up for intramural tennis this term are: Ernest Booth, Griffith Borgeson, Phil Brown, Dick Cantrall, Phil Crane, Bob Duttle, Antonio Estrellas, Jack Helstead, Oliver Irons, Ray Kline, Pete Nettlemann, Lester Ready, Bob Reeve, Ben Rice, Ken Roberts, George Saunders, Ed Stryker, George West, Baldwin Woods, Ken Wright, Chandler Young and George Rice. The boys have worked together excellently to make this intramural group a successful one. Since they had no regular tennis courts to play on, the boys had to play wherever they could find a court. Even in the face of such difficulties as these, the players gained experience which will be valuable for next term ' s team. G. A. A. SEASON The Girls ' Athletic Association is one of long standing in Berkeley High School. The sports and activities maintained by the girls of Berke- ley High have developed true sports-women in those who have kept up with the work. The mind, as well as the body, is kept physically fit in the wholesome exer- cises of hockey, baseball, basketball, and archery. Hockey is the major sport in the fall term. This year there were six teams made up from the three grades, each consisting of eleven players on a team. In order to become a member of the G.A.A., a girl must earn 100 points by participating in some sport, or by signing up for training, home- walking, horseback riding, or golf. There are many ways in which a girl may earn points. When a girl has earned 300 points, she receives a G.A.A. pin; 600 points, a block B ; 1000 points, a star. This term the G.A.A. members participated in the Bi-Annual Federation at Piedmont High, the Skating Party at Rollerland, the Hockey Spread, and the Jinx on December 12. These activities helped to make the girls realize that, by loyal support, the G.A.A. can be made a suc- cess. Thelma Baker. G. A. A.

Little Willie had a mirror And he kicked the back all off, Thinking in his childish error It would cure the whooping-cough. At the funeral Willie ' s mother Smartly said to Mrs. Brown, It was a chilly day for Willie When the mercury went down. A fly was walking with her daughter over the head of a bald man. How times change, my dear, she said. When I was young, this was only a foot path. Hobo: Madam, could you lend me a cake of soap? Lady: Soap? What do you want with that? Hobo: Well, madam, me partner ' s got de heecups an ' I wants to scare him. Smart Alec (boarding street car): Well, Noah, is the ark full? Conductor: Not yet; hop on, we need a monkey. The fourth day drew to a close with the twelfth juryman still stub- born as a mule. Well, gentlemen, said the court officer entering the jury room, shall I, as usual, order twelve dinners? Make it, said the foreman, eleven dinners and a bale of hay. The last word in airplanes: Jump! EDITOR-IN-CHIEF And what, asked the chief of the Cannibal Island, in his kindest tones, was your business before you were captured by my men? I was a newspaper man, answered the captive. An editor? No, merely a sub-editor. Cheer up, young man! Promotion awaits you. After dinner you shall be editor-in-chief. Bobby: There ' s a man at the door, mother. Mother: Did he have a bill? Bobby: A bill? Naw, he ' s just got an ordinary nose. Teacher: What do you consider the greatest accomplishment of the ancient Romans? Clark Howat: Speaking Latin.

Slub : Are you the barber who cut my hair the last time? Barber: I don ' t think so. I have been here only six months. QUIET LITTLE RIOT One fine day, in the middle of the night, Two dead men began to fight ; Back to back they faced one another, Drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, So he came up and pinched the boys. An elderly woman walked into a railroad ticket office in Toronto and asked for a ticket to New York. Do you wish to go by Buffalo? asked the ticket agent. Certainly not! she replied. By train, if you please. B=Boy G=Girl .

Another: Neither can he while I ' ve got it. A windshield that won ' t shatter is an improvement. Now give us rubber telephone poles. This is a pretty snappy suit, remarked the baby, as he was put into his new rubber panties. I ' ll see you inside, said the doctor to the patient on the operating table. The back-seat driver might be worse. She might move up front. Eager Playwright: I wish I could think of a play to fill the audience with tears. Theatre Manager: I wish you could think of one to fill the tiers with audience. Lady: Have you ever been offered work? Tramp: Only once, madam. Aside from that, I ' ve met with nothing but kindness.
