l9 tie -filiercuiteclQiueLent . o(j Berkeley Uiyl) Scl)ool @allkotnla If Dorothy Canfield Fisher describes Louisiana as “dark-eyed, fascinating, temperamental and Vermont as “lean, rather gaunt, we may describe California as a dashing Spanish girl. Her great, dark. Hashing eyes seem at first too flirtatious to the Easterner. Her mouth is at first too smiling, showing too-wbite teeth. Her lips arc too red; the flowers in her hair, too brilliant. The Easterner feels that she dances the fandango with too much verve, and he is a little bit suspicious of dust range music from the castanets in her hands. He does not sec the duenna guarding this young and beautiful maiden from a dusky corner. The duenna sees that the chosen suitor is of such integrity that he may well be the head of a California family. The beautiful maiden becomes the grand Seftora then, great like the “virtuous woman described by Solomon, who rises early that she may provide for her family. California provides with a lavish hand fruits of almost Oriental splendor for her household, and for others. She takes to her heart the orphan from the storm and the dust bowl, and soon she makes them hers. Her adopted children rise up in the gates to praise her. and her sons call her blessed. But with all this, she remains young and dashing and never forgets how to dance and be gay at the fiesta. John Smits Principal . . Vice-Principai Vice- Principal Dean of Giri.s Secretary . .

I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation to the student body of the Berkeley High School for their very fine cooperative spirit. Throughout the past two years, and especially during the past year, as I have become acquainted with the students of the Berkeley High School, I can truthfully say that it has been a pleasure to be associated with them. The willingness shown on the part of our students to support any and all of the activities and the general upbuilding of the school has been most gratifying. It is this readiness on the part of the students to cooperate with the faculty and the administration, that builds a finer and better school. Not only does this spirit build for a better understanding during our school career, but if and when developed in young people, it is bound to carry over into later life. I have followed with a great deal of interest many of the members of the graduating classes, and have been unusually well impressed with their leadership qualities. 1 predict a fine career for many of the members of the graduating class of June ’39, and hope that they will continue to participate in the various activities as they travel along life's highway, since our country needs leadership sorely. In closing, may I ask our students to apply themselves most earnestly and prepare themselves for the problems that they will face in the future. With a thorough preparation and an active participation in the various activities, 1 am certain that they will fit into some position of importance where their services will be needed. I therefore wish one and all a most successful career. H. H. Glessnkr President, JACK KENT Com missioners, LOI S HIES I ER EDGAR NELSON bob dou ram BEVERLY HARVEY MALCOLM BROW N Pfianjel in (jovetnment Throughout ihe entire United States student government is being reorganized to meet changing needs. Berkeley High School has been no exception, as may be seen by the completion of a new constitution. We, as members of the last Board of Control, have felt that student representation should be increased, to spread the responsibility for government throughout a greater number of students. This term marks the passing of the live-member Board of Control, which will be replaced by a thirteen-member board. This semester we have carried on the usual activities of the Board, besides trying many new ideas. The student body card sale campaign opened our term’s work. We put on many unusual stunts in assemblies and on the slope in an effort to stimulate more school spirit, and to reach our quota in cards. The first assembly given by the Board presented an en- tirely new and somewhat surprising program. Valentine’s Day was the inspiration for the first night dance of the term. The Social Hall was gayly decorated with hearts and streamers to carry out the sweetheart” theme.The Board sjKmsorcd three afternoon dances during the term. At each dance candy was offered to the first two hundred students entering the Social Hall. With all the spring sports under way. the Board of Control presented an athletic rally just before the A. C. A. 1.. trac k meet. One of the most important activities given by the Board was the second annual Who’s Who” dinner, which maintained a tradition which was started a year ago. We, as members of the Board of Control. wish to express our thanks to the teachers and students for cooperating with us and giving their help to make this term’s activities successful. We hope that the new Board of Control will receive as much pleasure front carrying on Berkeley High School’s activities as we have.

Friendship—h a sincere effort to make the new freshmen feel at home with their new friends and new surroundings, the Freshman Reception started off the activities with glamorous Hollywood as the theme. The audience was entertained by impersonations of movieland personalities, a preview, skits, and songs concerning the cinema. After refreshments at the Brown Derby the guests finished the afternoon with dancing. Also for the sake of pure enjoyment the “Dixie Dinner” was planned. The atmosphere and hospitality of the Old South plus fried chicken equaled a memorable evening. After dinner the girls were offered an all-Southern program, with music, songs, a dance, and humorous sketches. The P.-T. A. in conjunction with the G. A. presented a Fashion Bridge Tea for the enjoyment of the mothers and teachers on the afternoon of May 9. part of the proceeds of which were devoted to the G. A. scholarship fund. The Senior Farewell, the last social event on the calendar, gave the girls an opportunity to do something for their big sisters”—something to show them how they had enjoyed working with them and playing with them. The mood of the party was both reminiscent and prophetic, as the seniors’ past, present, and future achievements were dramatized. The G. A. also gave a free afternoon dance, the Sweetheart Swing,” for the entire student body. Service—The more serious aspects of the G. A.’s contributions to school and community were given attention and enthusiasm as well as were soc ial activities. All the girls worked together in contributing 200 garments to the Needlework Guild, of which the Association is a chapter. Each garment for the needy children was made by some girl from material purchased with the money generously contributed by girls' and boys’ home-rooms alike. The garments made an attractive display before they were turned over to the Guild. To aid the school in furthering the education of its worthy students, the semi-annual G. A. play was given. Mrs. Schwimley directed the cast of the pleasing comedy. A Wedding. The leads were filled by Lois Hiester and Lloyd Callaway, with an excellent supporting cast. Natalie H arris (i. A.

I he first event of importance was the Red and Gold dance held in the middle of April. This was financed in part by the class dues collected by Charles Parker, dass treasurer, and his committee. The theme was Berkeley High School, and the Social Hall was decorated accordingly in the school colors. Cartoons of several of the big shots around school were drawn and hung on the walls. Following the dance. Ditch Day assumed a major idle in the senior activities. A ferry boat was rented, and most of the seniors spent the day enjoying themselves aboard. Several members of the faculty accompanied the party. Dancing was made possible by the school orchestra, which was precariously placed on the upper deck. As usual the candid camera fiends were much in evidence. “You Can’t 'lake It With You” was the play chosen by the seniors. Taking the leading parts in the cast were James Keilty, Florence Booth. Bill Oliver, Mar- jorie Silva, Imogene Wilson. Claude Mo Kntyre, Sylvia Kiostcrud. Dick Stockwcll. Elizabeth Turner. Jack Levine, and Earl Wagy. 'l he play was ably directed by Mrs. Schwimley. Everyone, from the smallest tenth grader to the most worldly-wise senior. enjoyed this comedy immensely. In fact, some theater-goers acclaimed it the best senior production in years. Flic senior dinner is, at this time, being planned. Bob Douthitt is in charge of entertainment; so a good program will be in store. The affair will take place on June second. 1 he customary senior gift has not definitely lK en decided upon, though many suggestions have been made. I bis decision will occupy the class in the coming weeks. Of course, graduation will Ik- the final step, and the hardest to take. Though seniors may seem happy at the prospect of graduating from high school, underneath most of them have a lost feeling and wish they could start high school all over again. John Kenward will give the introductory sjK’cch at the graduation exercises, and I.ois Hiester. Richard Randall. Jean Gab-bert, and Roger Hildebrand will follow with four commencement s|x. cches. The topic will Ik the Golden Gate International Exposition. Although the term has been a long one. it has been more than full for the high seniors. We hope that the next class to fill this place will have as enjoyable a time in their last term.

EDITOR OF OLLA PODRIDA GetkeLey -llijh Put Lie ationi Berkeley High is represented before the public by three publications: the Weekly News, the student newspaper; the Olla Podrida, the semi-annual book; and Manuscript. the semi-annual literary magazine. The Weekly News, which is issued every Wednesday during the school year, has been edited this term by Kenneth Levick. last term's Olla Podrida editor. The paper is entirely supported by its advertising which has been in charge of Don Cook, the manager for this term. The news reporting and much of the news, feature, and editorial writing is done by members of the journalism class. 1 he paper is linotyped and printed by students in the printing classes. The Olla Podrida editor this term is Marjean Pettis. All of the group pictures in the book were taken by student photographers, with Jim Jondrow, photographic editor, directing. The art stall members were recruited from the an classes. Sports articles were contributed by members of the Weekly News sports stair, and other articles by officers of the various organizations. The Olla Podrida sales campaign was sponsored by Miss Ruth Price, John Pearson serving as chairman of the sales committee. Maxine Alderette, Bill Oliver, and Bob Dieterich distinguished themselves as super-salesmen. The Manuscript Club publishes at the end of eac h semester a magazine of literal-)' compositions of its members, including both prose and verse. The Manuscript is printed in the Berkeley High School print shop. This term, as the Olla Podrida goes to press, Manuscript is just about to come off the press. Virginia Ralston has been president of the Manuscript Club this term; Miss Constance Topping is its sponsor. Marjean Pettis Editor of the Olla Podrida Oi l.A rODKIDA M M l ■@tk Letlc5 Bert Acton.

Saiketlfall After a mediocre practice record of five victories and five defeats, Coach Jack Kadie’s Yellow jacket cagers suddenly came to life and swept through the A. C. A. L. with but a single loss to annex their first title since 1936. The season record of fourteen games won and seven games lost was very impressive, considering the fact that the Jackets lost to such strong teams as Low- ell. champions of San Francisco; Oakland Tech, Oakland champs; and the California Frosh.

Al Scott's free throw proved the margin of victory. Becoming stronger with each game, the Vcllowjackeis beat Albany, Richmond, Alameda, and Hayward with little difficulty in 1 he second round, leaving the Piedmont game to decide the title.

Dukkfjk, rangy center, was high scorer during the season, and won all-county recognition. He was especially effective on close-up and tip-in shots. Coach Kadic will find him hard to replace next year. Al Scorr, tallest man on the squad, used his height to great advantage under the basket, to end up second-best scorer. His excellent team-work and aggressiveness aided the Jackets through many a tough game. Bert Acton, smallest player on the team, played on the Bees last year as a substitute. However, his uncanny eye won him a starting berth on the first team. Bert played his best game against Piedmont. A. C. A. L.

He had a good shooting average, although taking few shots. John Ken ward, a three-year veteran, was only out for the team during the latter part of the season, but saw some action as guard. Genk Bryan 1 was one of the l� est substitutes on the team. He played exceptionally well in the final Piedmont game.

Parker’s class B basketball team successfully defended their 1937-38 . C. A. L. title this season, although they completed their schedule in a tic for first with the Richmond lightweights. All hope for another title was gone when the Bees had but two games remaining. for Richmond had already defeated them twice. But Alameda and Hayward both upset the Oiler lightweights and Berkeley defeated Hayward and Piedmont to deadlock the two teams in first place. I he first team consisted of John I)e Martini and Bill l aml crt at forwards. Bill Fontcnrosc at center, and Jim Johnston and Joe YVosscr at guards. Bill Wright, |ohn Sproul. Charles Hanger, Ernie Schauppner, and Fred Abraham made up the reserve five. Johnny De Martini was the most outstanding player on the Bees. being high scorer with 94 points. The most thrilling game of the season was the second Hayward game. Hayward was leading 22 to 21 in the waning moments of the game, when a Hayward player fouled Johnston. Bee guard. The score board showed that only ten seconds remained. but Jim calmly stepped up to the free throw line to sink his charity toys to tie the score. In a sudden death overtime jrcriod no field goals were scored, but Berkeley cashed in on a free throw to win the exciting battle. Bit I Fo.YI'KNKOM- A. C. A. L.

L. championship. This year’s team was slow starting in league competition, and lost its opener to Richmond 8 to 3. They won the next one. defeating Albany 8 to 3. Then the team lost to Alameda and beat Hayward, to end the first round tied for second place. Starting the second round by losing to Richmond, hope was given up for a championship this year. But the Ycllowjackets surprised in the next two games by taking both Albany and Alameda, the two leading teams in the league. At press time the Jackets were favored to defeat Hayward again and to retain the championship. Coach Elgin Erickson should be commended for his fine work with the team this year. He had only three men returning from last year's championship team, and the rest of the men had to come from rookies and reserve players. This year's team had fine pitching. There were three lx� ys who shared the mound duties: Eugene Bryant. Jim Coen, and Eddie Sun-dell. Berkeley had one of the best allround pitching staffs in the league. One of this year’s rookies, Roy Biagi. proved to be one of the best hitters on the squad. All but two members of this semester’s varsity graduate, and Mr. Erickson will have to build up a team next year out of unknown material again. We wonder if they will repeat and keep the A. C. A. L. baseball championship at Berkeley High? Wit.LARD AkKRS Top Row: Art Frank. Tonv Silva. Well' Hutchins. Jack Phillips. Chick Houston, Wayne Hooper. John dc Martini. Jack Giant, R � Rentfrow.

L. championship title. The Yellowjackets had a much easier time than last year, beating the favored Richmond squad by 111,4 points. I'hc meet climaxed a successful dual meet season in which Berkeley was defeated only twice, once by the Commerce High champions and then by a strong Richmond aggregation. The Jackets began the season by defeating University High in a practice meet by a score of 61 to 41. Flic next meet was with Commerce of San Francisco. The Bulldogs have not lost the San Francisco championship title for eight years, and they did not choose to bow to any team this year. The score of the meet was 69 to 44. but the Berkc-leyans showed that they had the makings of a fine team. In the middle of the season a combined team of Alameda County Athletic League all-stars, sixteen of whom were Berkeley boys, dropped the dual meet to the exceptionally strong California freshman team. In the next two meets the trackmen lost a close dual meet to Richmond, but came back to win over the Oilers in a triangular meet by the tight score of 56 to 5554, the third competitor being Alameda, whose team picked up 291 points for a third place. The next time the A. C. A. L. all-stars got together, they routed the Stanford freshmen by a score of 82 to 40, 28 of the points being earned by the Red and Gold forces. I'hc last dual meets before the A. C. A. L. meet were with Piedmont and Oakland High, Berkeley winning over the Scots, but making only a 52 to 52 tic with the Oakland boys.

C. A. L. meet. Jack Kent, Student Body president, the fastest quarter miler in league competition, and a strong relay man. Roy Starbird, Honor Society president, also a 440 man who has provided the keenest competition to his team-mate Kent, beating him on occasions. Roy also ran the anchor lap for the relay team. Bob Dieterich. third man on the relay team. Bob also took second in too yard dash in the A. C. A. L. Charles Kitto took a fourth in the 220 yard dash. Don Crystal, a tenth grader, won the 220 yard low hurdles with little trouble. Johnny Gray nx� k third place in the shot put. John Kenward, second in the pole vault. A1 Williams, who picked up a third in the 880 yard run. Herb Farrer, a member of the winning Berkeley relay team. And last but not least the two jumping boys, Bernard Peters and Emerson Chapman, who tied for first in the high jump. After the A. C. A. I., meet Berkeley was scheduled to participate in the North Coast meet, the state meet, and the Marline . relays, before hanging up the spikes. Berkeley’s class C tracksters tied with 27 points for first with Hayward in the A. C. A. L. finals. J ekry Woods usimnuncj Having well-rounded strength in every event, the 1939 Yellowjacket swimming team, under Coach Frank Gross, enjoyed a very successful season. Meeting all of the strong teams in the Bay Area, the Red and Gold men almost always came out on top. losing only three meets to high school opponents. The Jackets dropped one of their meets to Alameda High; therefore, as the “Pod goes to press, they are slight underdogs to the Hornets in the A. C. A. L. finals. 'I'he Yellowjacket class B outfit, however. is probably the strongest B team in the league, and should easily annex the A. C. A. L. title when the finals arc run off. One of the men who stood out on this year’s team was Captain Fed McCarthy, three-year veteran in the fifty and hundred yard free style events, both of which he won in A. C). A. I., competition last year. He was Berkeley’s mainstay in these events. Other free style men included Ted Blanckcnburg, Ed Martin. Bill Vieth. and Bob Ready. In the 220-yard free style the Red and Gold was represented by Cliff Wright, who, in his only year out for this sport, proved his ability in the distance races, and Ernie Smith, who often gave Clifl some gtxxl races. Berkeley’s best breast-stroke swimmer was Charlie Parker, another three-year veteran, who holds the class B A.C.A. L. record. Charlie also won the class A A. C. A. I., race last year, and will Ik a real threat again this season. The backstroke races were taken tare of by Don Bartlett and Dick Seymour, who usually placed first and second, respectively. Fhe Jacket divers were veteran Walt White and Ward Vance. Fhe Berkeley medley relay team, of Bartlett. Parker, and McCarthy, was probably the Yellow jackets’ strongest swimming feature, this trio having defeated the California Frosh. SWIMMING SQUAD Top How: Jack Schuyler, Ted McCarthy. Charles Parker.

The crew had comparatively little time in which to train, in either the training scow, made in the school shops, or the racing shell which was given to Berkeley High by the University of California. The first shell, coached by Mr. Bellus, consisted of Vernon Bruce, coxswain; Francis Van Buren, No. 8; Bob Boyd. No. 7; Charles Apgar, No. 6; George Meyers, No. 5; Max Lambert and Keith Taylor, No. 4; Jim Woodard and Mark Swift, No. 3: Bob Pimentel, No. Bob Scott. No. 1. Sheeran excelled. Diving was taken care of by Mike Rosenberg and Jack Firchow. Graduating lettermen include, in class A, McCarthy, Parker, and Dobler. and in class B. Rothlin, Tomita, Green, and Kayser. Keith Richards Mr. Bellus has been assisted by Mr. I)un-kum, Mr. Behrens, and Mr. Reinecke. The varsity crew rowed three races this season, one practice race with Alameda, and two varsity tilts in which many high schools competed. The first varsity race was held at crew day in Sacramento. Berkeley High came in a close second to Alameda High in the final race, after winning from the more experienced Sacramento crew in the first heat. Shells from Fremont High, Oakland High, and Oakland Technical High also competed in this race. The second varsity race was held on the Alameda Estuary, with Berkeley High taking thiid to Alameda's first and Sacramento's second. The same schools that rowed in the previous meet competed at the Alameda race. Bill Shaw GREW Hoi) Scott. Hob Pimentel. Keith Taylor.

The Yki.i.owjacket tennis team for 1939 was a well balanced squad with almost uniform strength in every position. The line-up had to be changed many times during the season, as all members were evenly matched and frequent shifts were necessary in order to place the strongest men first. Just when it seemed as if Berkeley had the league title sewed up. the team ran into some hard luck, losing the services of a man because of illness, and dropped their first match with Piedmont High, which prevented them from winning the title. This year's team was composed of Jim Moulton. No. 1; Chip Cheney. No. 2; Jack Trunick, No. 3; John Kenward. No. 4; Bill Oliver. No. 5.

C. A. L. race. Nearly the whole squad shoots in the eighties, and instead of having a few stars, the team is well rounded. |im Watson and Allan Spindt made up the first flight of the six-man team, and John Sheridan and Kd Lind made up the second flight. The third flight was com-posed of Jack Larmour and Bill de Jung, with John Moser and Bill Love as substitutes. In the first round of A. C. A. L. compe- tition Berkeley lost to Richmond, Alameda. and Piedmont by large scores. Starting the second round they showed improvement, but still lost their first two matches. The Berkeley team is gocxl. but the other schools turn in consistently lower scores. The team, as usual, used the Berkeley Country Club course as their links, and we wish to extend thanks to them for their cooperation. The team was picked from the Golf Club which enlisted more than twenty boys and girls. The club played twice a week and received a lesson on one day a week. With four members of this year’s squad returning, next year's team should have a head start on the rest of the league. Bob Meckei.

A. is a club whose purpose is to promote interest and enjoyment in girls athletics. This term the G. A. A. has had a full and varied program consisting of the major sports, basketball, softball, swimming. and archery; games with various schools, including the California School for the Deaf; two snow trips, and an overnight hike. The girls also attended play days at Richmond High and Albany High and entertained Albany High at their semi-annual Cabaret, which was a great success because of the untiring efforts of the heads of the committees and their hard-working assistants. Two other events held this term were the Dance Program, put on by the special dancing club, and the girls swimming meet. Both of these were activities not undertaken by the G. A. A. during the last few semesters. The G. A. A. wishes to express its appreciation to the gym teachers for their generous assistance and for the splendid way in which they cooj crated with the association in its activities throughout the term. The Executive Board this term was made up of girls who showed a great deal of interest and spirit. The members of the board were president.
