Berkeley High School - Olla Podrida Yearbook (Berkeley, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1938 volume:

OLLA PODRIDA FALL 1938 Published by the Associated Students of BERKELEY HIGH DEDICATION To Berkeley High School's past, present, and future football teams we dedicate this publication. We salute the more talented boys who represent the school before huge crowds and play such an important part in moulding school spirit. But it is especially the hard-working and little-noticed managers and fourth or fifth string players who sacrifice their time purely for love of the game whom we wish to remember in this dedication. LEADERSHIP ip jVERY responsible citizen is expected to contribute his full share to the upbuilding of our government. If each one would assume his part of the responsibility, our nation would benefit immeasurably. There is need today in our country for men and women who have the true welfare of their government at heart, men and women who love their freedom and who are willing to strive earnestly and honestly to put service above self. The depression has indicated clearly that prosperity will return and our freedom will be safeguarded in proportion to the wisdom of our leaders and the loyalty and cooperation of our citizens. There never was a period in the history of our nation when men's hearts were tried and when leadership was put to the test as today. The present generation is passing through the greatest crisis in our history, but conditions are bound to adjust themselves in the course of time and we will profit by this experience. Let me urge our students to study thoroughly the causes of this depression, to keep steady, and to observe closely the factors that make for the return of prosperity. Some benefit is bound to come out of this trying period in our history, and I hope our young people of today will waste no time in their preparation for efficient leadership, which is so much needed in time of distress.

On it was the record of their success. Shortly a new team will take the field and the contest will begin anew. Their record will be posted on the scoreboard for all to see. We trust there will be no penalties to post there and that They too will win their game as clearly as our departing friends have won theirs.

Miss Cora E. Hampel. This term the class has had four large functions on its calendar: the senior dance, the senior play, the senior dinner, and the purchase of the senior gift. The collection of class dues, for the financing of these activities, began at the start of the term and extended throughout the first seven weeks. less Billings, class treasurer, and his committee managed the campaign. The second senior undertaking was the Big Game Dance, the second school dance of the term. This affair, held on the night of the Piedmont Game, had football as its theme. Through the medium of ballots printed in the Weekly News an election was held to determine the most valuable player on the team. To the winner, Johnny Gray, a gold football was awarded by the Senior Class. The class suggests that the awarding of a gold football be made a traditional annual event. The dance was the outstanding social event of the term, as well as a financial success. Smilin' Through was chosen as the senior play, the following students making up the cast: Paul Dettmer, Kenneth Phinney. Evelyn Bachrach, Janice Morgan. Harry Haviside, Bob Dettmer, Carl Stromberg. Bill Haskell. Catherine Hamilton, Virginia Carr, Marjorie Strong, Betty Berger, Isabel Scott, Francis Shoemaker, Dick DeKay, Bob Rawson, and Janet Flannery. This stirring romance and international success was presented in the school auditorium on the night of November 22 under the auspices of Mrs. Schwimley. The sum of two hundred dollars was set aside for the purchase of a gift to be presented to the school by the senior class at graduation. The nature of the gift had not been determined at the time the OUa Podrida went to press. Among the suggestions were portable microphones, and radios. A turf field or a cinder track were suggested, but were ruled out for practical reasons. The Senior Dinner, with Bob Edwards in charge of decorations. Elisabeth Kremser planning the menu, and Nadine Foreman arranging the entertainment, is scheduled for December 16. The social committee selected a conservative style of graduation announcement embellished by the Berkeley High School seal. With the seal on the cover, and inscribed within, the folder presents a very attractive though formal appearance. SENIOR COUNCIL Many class rallies were held during the term, and the class has exhibited much spirit in spite oi the fact that it is one of the smallest graduating classes in recent years. All senior activities have proved worth while. Our term has been short, but has been filled with activity, and will, up to Commencement Day, December 20. At the commencement exercises Bill Miller, Ralph Ready. Jack Cottle, Doris Lowe, and Barbara Bush will speak as representatives of the Senior Class. BILL MILLER, President.

First in the opponent's backfield, and first in the hearts of his fellow students. Jack Cottle has carried on Berkeley High School's tradition of outstanding student body presidents, and has at the same time been one of the outstanding members of the football team. We think he perfectly exemplifies Activities at Berkeley High. Jack Cottle Doris Lowe John Kenward ACTIVITIES The Associated Students of Berkeley High School gave another example of their ability to elect fine leaders when they chose Jack Cottle, president, and Doris Lowe, Lorraine Scott, John Kenward, A1 Vallejo, and Bob Dieterich, Board of Control members, to guide them through the Fall semester of 1938. Jack Cottle carried on the fine traditions established by past presidents, and the Board of Control did an excellent job of conducting school activities. The Board of Control had charge of Rally Day and presented an interesting program which included severed new events. On Sept. 22 they gave to the school the first afternoon dance and lots of entertainment. The Variety Show, a big success, was put on by the entire student body on Friday and Saturday nights. Sept. 30 and 31. RALLY COMMITTEE A lot of spirit for the Richmond game was generated by the football rally held on the bleachers, Thursday, October 6. Clint Evans, U. C. freshman football coach, was the guest speaker. The Football Frolic, a night dance, was a big success and attracted a good crowd. Chief feature of the entertainment was the selection of Ruth Patterson as Football Queen. The music was furnished by Johnny Fairchild's B. H. S. dance orchestra. Another bleacher rally was held on Friday, October 21, before the Alameda game. Bill Biggerstaff spoke. An afternoon dance was held on Thursday, October 27. The Armistice Day assembly was held on the bleachers on November 9. with an impressive program. The Big Game Rally was held on the day of the Piedmont game. Bob Herwig, recent All-American center from U. C.. was guest speaker on a program which included the burning of Piedmont in effigy. Johnny Gray personally applied the flame, and on November 10 at the Big Game Dance he was crowned the most outstanding football player after a vote of the students. STUDENT COURT YELL LEADERS LOW TWELVE COUNCIL Officer Pal Stripp. president Pat Nlcoll Bob Douthitt Campaign speeches for student body offices were given during the final week in November, and the election was held on December 6. This term a committee was appointed to study the A. S. B. H. S. constitution and suggest helpful or necessary changes in the framework of student government Chief change discussed was the proposal to enlarge the Board of Control. An important development of the semester was the organization of the tenth and eleventh grades. Mr. Nealson was made faculty adviser to the classes, and each class, the Low 10. High 10. Low 11. and High 11, elected officers. The two twelfth grade classes had had class organization for several semesters. Each of the newly-organized classes held a dance or some other sort of social affair during the term.

Every activity has carried out the motto of the Association: Friendship and Service. The new girls were welcomed at the Freshman Reception, in the form of a gay circus, the Senior Friends making a special effort to make newcomers feel at home. The Girls' Association joined hands with the Berkeley High Parent-Teacher Association in presenting a Fashion Show for the enjoyment of both mothers and daughters. The International Dinner and the Senior Kids' Party Farewell promoted the friendship of the girls and were pleasant get-togethers. The Girls' Association helped to entertain the entire student body in planning the B. O. C. G. A. S. B. C. dance, and in presenting the play Good Medicine. The girls do not work entirely for social affairs, but have been active in serving school and community. Each girls' advisory contributed a doll with complete wardrobe to the children of the Berkeley Day Nursery. Some sixty Christmas boxes were filled by the girls for the veterans at Mare Island. During the Christmas season the G. A. will also furnish the decorated tree in the lobby. Probably the outstanding contribution of the Girls' Association was the play. Good Medicine. Malcolm Brown. Mirian Bronstein, and May Nordquist played a young doctor, his wife and nurse, and a wealthy philanthropist.

The first two are regular school publications, and are under the journalism teacher. Miss Doyle. The Manuscript is published by the Manuscript Club, and the Clubmen's Journal is put out by the Press Club. The Weekly News was ably edited this term by Benton Wetzel, and the office of manager was energetically filled by Bob Rawson. whose job it was to see that the paper made enough money from advertisements to pay the cost of publication. The Weekly News is entirely self-supporting and receives no money from either the student body or the school department. An important development this term was the change of the publication date from Friday to Tuesday in an effort to make the news fresher. The Weekly News became afhliated with the National Scholastic Press Association for the first time this term. The new office of Olla Podrida editor was filled by Kenneth Levick. For many years past one student has been editor of both major publications. This issue of the OUa Podrida has been entirely student-planned. The Manuscript Club, under the direction of Miss Topping, regularly puts out the Manuscript, a magazine which contains the literary work of the club members. The club officers, headed by Virginia Ralston, selected the copy, and the magazine, like the Weekly News, was printed in the school shop. The Clubmen's Journal is published by Mr. Porter's Press Club. During the spring term, in which it was inaugurated, several issues were printed, but this term the club decided to print but one issue at the end of the term.

The C. S. F. is a statewide scholastic organization, and has slightly higher standards than the Berkeley High Honor Society. However, eighty-one students were eligible to membership in the new chapter. The group's first officers are Ralph Ready, president; Kenneth Coates, vice-president; and Muriel Heath, secretary. Florence Booth, the Honor Society president, who ably filled the shoes vacated by Ralph Ready, headed a cabinet composed of Nadine Foreman, vice-president; Beverly Harvey, secretary; and Paul Sanazaro and Bob Ready, executive board members. The high spot of the term was the semi-annual banquet in the school cafeteria. After a good dinner entertainment was furnished by Beryl Ginner. May Nordquist, and the Ready brothers. Florence Booth, Jack Cottle, and Mr. Glessner made short speeches. On Chairman Dick Rothlin's committee were Beverly Harvey. Peggy Zoll, and Francis Allen. Earlier in the term an after-school meeting was held at which movies were shown. Janice Morgan. Spencer Reid. Beverly Harvey. Muriel Heath. Betty Kinsey. Anna Lea Lloyd, John Bogard. Helen Tronoff. Ray Bradshaw. Bob Meckel, Dick Rothlin. and Paul Sanazaro made up the cast of the Honor Society play, Murder”, a rather inadequate vehicle, though it served to refill the coffers of the Honor Society's scholarship fund.

Smilin’ Through” FORENSICS Forensic activities were divided into three main divisions: the Speakers' Bureau, the Forum, and the Interscolastic Debate team. The Speakers' Bureau was formed for the purpose of bringing the city and the school closer together. The speakers have fully covered the subjects of the Community Chest, safety education, the Red Cross, and democracy. They have rendered invaluable service to the city and have brought much credit to Berkeley High School. The Forum, the school debating society, is the oldest club in the school. It has a membership of fifty and is led by four officers: Kenneth Coates, president; Spencer Reid, vice-president; Lois Hiester, secretary; and John Pearson, commissioner of programs. This organization holds weekly meetings with a program of debates, symposiums, and panel discussions. The debating team consisted of four boys: Richard Randall, Kenneth Coates, Arthur Perrott, and John Pearson, chairman. The team met Oakland High in the debate: Resolved, that the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. FORUM SPEAKERS' BUREAU DEBATING TEAM Here and There SPANISH CLUB Margaret Lomprey. president CLUBS � � A large number of clubs were organized last term in a campaign to have every Berkeley High School student engaged in some sort of student activity. This term, although the number of clubs fell to about twenty, a strong and well established club program was carried through. A new club, the Kennel club was organized in the middle of the term and got off to a successful start. The Press club which was very active, made trips through the Gazette plant and an engraver's shop. The French and Spanish clubs, two of the largest, held their regular meetings at which they sang native songs. The International Travel club, organized in the interests of world peace, had several outside speakers; the Camera club held two photographic contests. The Sailing club had a sailing meet with a U. C. club and a team from University High. The Crew club started a definite conditioning program of rowing in the training barge. The boys are looking forward to the time when crew will be a competitive interscholastic sport at Berkeley High. The Aviation club entered Berkeley Recreation Department model plane competition and carried off many trophies. The Chess club conducted contests to determine the personnel of the Chess team and the Art club visited several art centers in the Bay area.

Coach Gross hates to lose this one. JOHN BLAKEMORE—Hard running back who is about the hardest man on the team to bring down. Good defensive player and blocker. Graduates. CHARLES KITTO—Only an average sized tackle who never quits fighting, and makes his share of the tackles. Also graduates. RALPH READY—Another fairly small lineman who graduates. This hard-charging right guard did the play-calling for the team. JOHN GRAY—Probably the team's most valuable player. Natural leader who makes better than one-half of the tackles. A fine blocker and passer, but is at his best backing up the line with his jolting tackles. Also graduates. CHARLES PARSONS—A small but efficient center. Also graduates. ED BRENNAN—A shifty, hard-running little back who was the team's best ball carrier. Lots of drive, and a good passer. Graduates. ELDON MURATORE—A back who found no peer all season as a punter. Averaged better than forty yards in many games. A good blocker who rarely runs with the ball. Also graduates. MAT ALLEN—One of the team's best linemen, this guard makes more than his share of the tackles and is always on the top of the play. He too is a senior. LLOYD CALLOWAY—This senior missed several weeks with injuries, but showed himself to be one of the team's best ball carriers. FENN WILSON—A towering senior. Biggest man in the line, and steady on defense. BILL DURKEE—A pass-catching end who can really snag the ball. This senior was one of the team's high scorers.

This specific tie was more desirable than most ties in that the Commerce Bulldogs left a definite impression that all their lucky charms were functioning perfectly to earn them the standoff, while the Berkleyans definitely earned their two touchdowns the hard way. The visitors from across the bay made their first score after a sixty-yard pass from Olson to Bob Stevens had put the ball on the Berkeley 4. Their second touchdown drive consisted of only three plays which carried them 40 yards and across the goal. The fighting Yellowjackets came from behind twice to tie the score. The first time it was 57-yard march which featured Ed Brennan and the smoothest play of the game. Brennan passed complete to Jack Cottle who lateraled out to John Blakemore for a 23-yard gain down to the 22. It took Brennan just five plays to make the score. The final touchdown saw Bill Durkee carrying a Brennan pass to the 2 and Brennan going over. Johnny Gray. Berkeley's defensive star, kicked the tying point. SAINT MARY'S FROSH All loyal Berkeleyans were agreeably surprised with the improvement shown by the Yellowjackets in their second game of the season. The Saint Mary's freshmen filled in an open date and earned only a 12-0 victory. Although rather stingless the Jackets showed a good defense which stopped the Gaelets four times within the 20 yard line. Eldon Muratore. John Kenward. and Johnny Gray were demons backing up a line which showed improvement in tackling and experience. The freshmen made their first touchdown when they received the ball on the Berkeley 7 after a bad center on fourth down. One play put the ball over the goal. Their other score came after a 46-yard sustained march climaxed by a 4-yard touchdown pass. JEFFERSON Again coming from behind in the final minutes of a game, the Yellow jackets defeated Jefferson High of Daly City 7-6. Although outplayed by a substantial margin the Jeffersonites led until the last few seconds by virtue of a 62-yard touchdown run with an intercepted pass. After having another intercepted pass break up a long drive Berkeley came right back and with Ed Brennan carrying the ball and Johnny Kenward knocking the Jefferson ends over as fast as they could stand up. moved 64 yards to a touchdown. John Gray made the winning conversion just a few plays before the gun. CAL FROSH One of the high points of the Berkeley season was the single touchdown scored against the powerful Cal Frosh Reserves. After a fine exhibition of defensive football against the larger and more experienced university freshmen the Yellow jackets exceeded their fondest hopes and scored. After starting on their own 46 the yardage to the goal line was mostly made by passes. Gray to Cottle and Sammy Miller to Gray put the ball on the 38. A1 Scott made a difficult catch of a pass from Miller and gained 18 yards to the ten. Miller faded back to throw another, but finding nobody clear sped around end, eluded several tacklers and crossed the goal as the final gun went off. RICHMOND A slippery little Greek, Joe Vargas, kept warm by running repeatedly for long gains on the cold, blustery Friday afternoon when Berkeley went down before Richmond 18-0. This was the game which many thought would decide the A. C. A. L. crown, and they were right. Chief factors in the decision were Vargas and the Richmond line, which simply overpowered the Yellowjacket forward wall. Vargas made two touchdowns and Minor made the other on an end around. Ed Brennan could play only a few minutes and was hampered by a leg injury. Sammy Miller showed flashes of brilliance but couldn't move the Berkeleyans for any long marches. ALAMEDA Berkeley registered it's first league win with an 18-6 victory over Alameda. That one touchdown was the whole story of the game to Alameda supporters, for it was the first time the Hornets scored against the Yellowjackets in 14 years. The history-making touchdown climaxed a 62-yard drive and was the direct result of a 10-yard pass from Gannon to Gay. Berkeley had little trouble going through the Alameda line and even the second string made a 47-yard touchdown drive with John Shepard, Roger Yieser, and Bob Hvidt advancing the ball. Sammy Miller made the first touchdown with the prettiest run of the game. He took the ball on an end run and waltzed 50 yards down the side line to score. Miller also made the final score on a one-yard plunge through the center of the line after a 61-yard sustained march. ALBANY A sensational but slightly lucky play was the deciding factor in a well played game between Albany and Berkeley. It was a defensive contest with neither team able to do anything on the ground or in the air. The single deciding play was a long pass thrown by Johnny Gray from Berkeley's 27. It came down on the Albany 40 and met a welcoming committee of three. Most convincing of the trio was Bill Durkee, who was able to gather in the ball with a miraculous catch and run 40 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Outstanding throughout the contest were the tackles of Johnny Gray and the punts of Eldon Muratore. Outstanding in the line for Berkeley were Mat Allen and Jack Cottle. HAYWARD Lloyd Calloway and John Kenward. returning lettermen who hadn't played much this season, started the Hayward game as co-captains and were extremely important in the Yellowjackets 21-0 victory. Berkeley took the opening kick-off on their own 28, and with Calloway carrying, moved 72 yards in 11 plays to put Kenward over the goal. Johnny Gray made a successful conversion. The next touchdown came after a 44-yard drive with Bill Durkee catching one of Ed Brennan's passes in the end zone. Durkee later made a spectacular catch of another Brennan pass to set up the Yellowjackets on the Hayward 14. Kenward carried it all the way into the end zone on one crack through the line. PIEDMONT A bunch of sophomores from Piedmont furnished a crazy finale to a crazy league race by walloping the favored Berkeley High Yellowjackets 32-6. They had previously been plowed under by the Hayward Farmers who had gone on to take a 21-0 stinging from Berkeley. But. believe it or not. the unpredictable Highlanders bagpipped Berkeley clear off the field. The Hillmen also gave little encouragement to Frank Gross and his fellow A. C. A. L. coaches for years to come. Four of the Piedmont touchdowns were made by sophomores, poor little tenth graders like Billy Witter, Wallace, and Zappetini. The first two minutes of play were very encouraging for Berkeleyans. Geitner's first punt went out on Piedmont's 27 and on their first offensive play of the game Berkeley functioned perfectly. Lloyd Callaway went through the right side of the line with those Jolting Johnnies. Gray and Kenward. in front of him and then cut to his left and went 27 yards to the goal behind Bill Durkee. Gray's conversion attempt failed, but all loyal Berkeleyans figured it wasn't important. All signs pointed to a walkaway. And it was. Piedmont took the kick-off on their own 35 and marched 65 yards in 5 plays and 5 first downs. The conversion was made on a quarterback sneak and things looked a little less rosy for Berkeley. And they kept on looking less and less rosy and in fact took on a decidedly purplish tinge as Piedmont drove 54 yards to a touchdown in the closing minutes of the half. It took just six plays for them to go the distance and put Witter across the last white line. Geitner's conversion attempt failed, and at the end of the half the Purple and White led the Red and Gold by 7 points. After taking over the ball when a Berkeley drive fizzled out on the 35 the Highlanders took it easy and needed 9 plays to go the 65 yards to a touchdown. Everything was more or less quiet until early in the last period when the speedy Zappetini broke over right tackle and ran 53 yards for a touchdown. The final touchdown came in the last minute of play when Berkeley was throwing desperate passes on every down. Channing Kilburn. Piedmont's giant center, intercepted a pass, outmaneuvered the Jackets, and lateralled to Geitner who scored. FINAL A. C. A. L.

Their first two encounters resulted in tie scores. The Bees opened the season against Pittsburg on the latter's field under terrific summer heat. Cases of first game jitters and fumbleitis contributed to the fact that the game resulted in a tie. Traveling to Petaluma the next week, the Bees met a strong Petaluma Bee team. It appeared that the Bees had not yet hit their stride, for this game found them continually defending their goal. However, one thing was evident: the defense of the Bees was very strong. Playing for the first time before the school, the third game found the Bees completely dominating a weak Albany team. In this game the Bees succeeded in making their highest number of points over any opponent. With still plenty of steam left from the Albany game, the Bees stung a determined St. Mary's team 19 to 0. Seeking revenge for their 6 to 6 tie in the first game, the Bees again played Pittsburg, this time on the home field. They proved very decisively that the tie was entirely a mistake, as Pittsburg suffered a 27-0 setback. Playing the arch rival, Oakland Tech, mid-season, the lightweights met the greatest opposition. Outweighed in every position the Bees succeeded in pushing over a lone score in the fourth quarter. Appearing for the first time in new jerseys the Bees defeated Uni on a poor playing field. Commerce High of San Francisco sent over a group of big fellows, but they went home easily defeated. Roosevelt was the next opponet to fall before the Bees' onslaught. In this game a blocked conversion rolled back to the 35-yard line, and Hibino, quarterback, picked it up and under beautiful interference and blocking was able to walk the last five yards. So deadly was the blocking that almost every play was knocked down. Several comments were made about the Bees' blocking during the entire season. The last game of the season found the Bees matched with a so-far-undefeated Richmond team. It was a case of either team finishing the season undefeated. The Bees proved to Richmond that their stalwart defense and driving offense were far superior. The Bees rounded out an undefeated season, having been scored upon but twice, and making a season's total of 185 points. BEE SQUAD BEE INDIVIDUALS YUKIO HIBINO, quarterback, has completed his last two years on the Bees. He is one of the greatest little triple threats to play for Berkeley. DAVE STRONG, fullback, in his first year proved to be a great punter, and has a great deal of drive. He should be a valuable asset to the varsity next year. ED NELSON, a sensational halfback playing his second year, has made a name for himself because of his deadly blocking and open field running. FRED HONSINGER, a sensation in his third year on the Bees. Has plenty of speed and terrific straight-ahead power. Coach Erickson will find him hard to replace. DOUG SINCLAIR, a pass-snagging end who holds claim to a number of this year's points, should have a berth on the varsity next year. BUD HANSEN, end. has proved himself a great all-around player. This is his last year of football. FUMIO OBAYASHI, a demon tackle, will be sorely missed next year. JOE JEVONS, a sturdy and experienced tackle, has completed two years on the squad. Joe added a lot of spirit to the team and will be missed next year. DAVE LLEWELLYN, a small but fighting guard, was a spark plug in the team's defense. He will return next year. WARREN EIJIMA. the most powerful guard on the team, has finished his career with the Bees. MERRILL CALLOW, a low-ten. earned himself a first string position. He will be a great asset to the varsity. JIM MEALLIE, a red-headed fireball center, was a great defensive player. LLOYD ANDERSON, tackle, will be hard to replace because of his defensive play. BILL LONG, a little but fighting end. has completed his time with the Bees. BUD CALLOWAY, a halfback who came to life this year and played an amazing brand of football. This is Bud's last year.

VAMITY INTRAMURAL SPORTS BASKETBALL TENNIS LIFE SAVING I KNEW THEM WHEN... IF THEY ONLY KNEW... GIRLS’ SPORTS SHIRLEY ADAMS, president G. A. A. EXECUTIVE BOARD Girls’ Athletic Association The athletic program ior girls has been a small but important one this semester. The sports included hockey, swimming, tennis, badminton, horseback riding, and dancing. Hockey took first place in having the largest number of girls appear for practice. Hockey was guided successfully throughout the season by two coaches. Mrs. Waldron and Mrs. Cardwell, and under the able management of Bernice Kelner. Swimming was two-fold again this term, with life-saving under the leadership of Mrs. Oliphant as one division, and the Swimming Club under Miss Weich-selbaum as the other. Dancing also was a major activity. The turnout was unusually small owing to its absence from G.A.A. activities for several years, but its popularity soon increased and attracted many girls. Tennis and badminton were sister events, as they went hand-in-hand to play the minor parts. Although Mrs. Cardwell helped with badminton, both sports were run largely by the girls. Horseback riding and golf were the only sports which took the girls off the school grounds. Interest in both was very keen. The two social events held by the G.A.A. were both great successes. The first was a picnic outing held at Live Oak Park. It was planned and put over by Vice-President Virginia Hacker. The second was the East Bay Federation Play Day. Nearly all of the semester was spent in planning this event, and its flawless success was a great reward to those who helped to make it so. Ably assisting the president in all the activities were the members of the Cabinet, whose help was indispensable. LEADERS' CLASS SWIMMING CLUB LIFE SAVING BADMINTON DANCING A MAN MUST EAT - I mm I
