V x tv DEDICATION Endless opportunity, equolity under the low, belief thct the government should be derived from the just consent of the governed, belief in the dignity of mon. These ore not just words. For us, the people of Amerlico, they ere everydey realities, and we live them every day of our lives. Freedom to follow any kind of enterprise, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of education and freedom to use that educatiori to moke a better ife—these ore endless opportunity.' The principle thot a man is innocent until proved guilty, the right to a speedy trial—these ore equclity under the law. Our Congress, through which a free people can actually make their own government—thot is belief that the government should be derived from the just consent of the governed. Conviction thot all these freedoms and privileges should be the right of all men, irrespective of race, position, or creed, the hatred of war, the love of peaceful ways—these ore belief in the dignity of man. These are the fundamentals of the American way of life, the very things which make this book possible, and the Pod staff wishes to voice its appreciation by dedicating this Pod to that way of life. Yet, while these beliefs and opportunities are possible n America, there ore many who are without these blessings; it is our hope that out of the struggle, youth will bring freedom and peace to all the world. Karen Hoiriis POD EDITOR Here, in this issue of the Olio Podrido, is o record of the post high school term, of organizations, clubs, athletics, and of the many other activities which go toward making up thot indefinable something colled Berkeley High Spirit. The work has been difficult ot times, periodically discouraging, but always enjoyable. Besides to the staff itself and to Mr. Carrol Johnson, our faculty adviser, thanks should go to the great number of you who made your small but necessary contributions toward the completion of this, our own publication. For some of you, this is the lost Pod, and therefore, os you slowly turn back the pages of this spring term, it is our hope thot they will bring to you the assurance thot you need not soy good-bye to Berkeley High School days forever, but may feel instead thot many years from now you can again stroll down the path of its pages and re capture the memories which are fresh in your minds today. If this book is able to recall to you the slope, the class activities, and even a few of the troubles of high school days, it will hove more than fulfilled its purpose. Joanne Seidel, Editor A DI OS As I think of the many contributions which this graduating class has made to our school, a quotation which has always been one of my favorites comes to my mind. I quote from an unknown author: I shall pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I con show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. This quotation challenges the spirit of cooperation, friendliness, sincerity, and devotion which we should manifest towards one another, and I am certainly pleased and grateful to the individuals of the High Senior class who have passed through our school and have done many acts of kindness towards their teachers and classmates, and who are leaving behind nothing but pleasant memories. I feel sorry for those members of the class who passed through the school deferring or neglecting to do those acts of kindness which would later pay a huge reward. The character and reputation of a school are built upon the character and reputation of its many graduates, and this class will certainly add to the permanent foundation which has been laid by the 25,000 graduates who have gone before. Wishing the best of luck to the Spring Class of 1944, Your Principal, Elwin LeTendre. Three years ago, we high seniors entered Berkeley High. We didn't know, then, in the fall of 1941, what lay before us that our three years at Berkeley High would be shadowed by war. Still, they've been a wonderful three years. Some of us have been bright, some of us have been athletes, some of us have just been happy-go-lucky slope slummers. Ditch Day at Lake Anza, Pride and Prejudice, our senior play, and all our other class activities were highly successful. We are facing a strange and tragic world, but we know that we are better fitted to face it because of these last three years. Though we are leaving, part of Berkeley High School will go with us through life.

That self-government is an invaluable privilege, for it teaches youth the making of democracy. The central body of our school government is the Board of Control, which represents the student body at large, the individual classes, and other major organizations of the school. The class councils manage the activities of the classes, the Rally Committee keeps law and order, or some semblance thereof, among the students, the Girls' Association and its class councils concern themselves with the activities of the girls, and the Senior Friends lend helping hands to all students new to the school. These and many other organizations constitute that effective self-government of which the students of Berkeley High can justly be proud.

CKoirmon JANICE WHIPPLE GA President JESSIE STEVENS GAA President A Message from Our President This spring at Berkeley High has been one of the most successful terms we have ever known. To start the ball rolling our student body responded wholeheartedly to card sales, which hit an all-time high for a spring term with 2405 cards sold, 96.8% membership. Then came the Pod drive and Red Cross campaign, both of which went over the top. In fact, we doubled the amount ever before given to the Red Cross. Although not all of our teams were ACAL champs, the students stood back of them all the way. The clean-up campaign and all the other student activities were successful because everyone was interested and cooperated to the fullest extent. When a student body as large and as representative of America as ours can work together as we have, it proves that student government is effective and practical. We are experiencing hard times, and the going will be even tougher before the peace is won. But we are lucky that we have been spared the horrors of war and have been able to go to school and to practice self-government. In high school we have learned to think clearly and to be tolerant and fair to our fellows. We have learned to work together, and because of this, the rest of the world is looking to our generation for help; to us comes the challenge to build a better world with a lasting peace.

Without this aid the G.A. would have been unable to have its freshmen reception, senior farewell, and G.A. dinner. A noon time ploy, sponsored by the G.A. and produced by Drama 1 1 classes, provided the funds for our fifty dollar scholarship, whereby each homeroom supplied two new garments for needy children of Berkeley. The Red Cross workroom devoted many hours painting checkerboards, compiling condensed story and joke books, and knitting squares for shawls. Particularly helpful in our term's work have been the officers, senior friends, councils, and members of the Girls' Association. To our faculty sponsor. Miss Helen Kinell, we are especially grateful for her cooperation and guidance. G. A.

Shield and Lance, with 130 members, is the largest club. Its aim is greater friendship, and its monthly parties have been open to all. This term's project for the Girls' Swimming Club was the production of the swim show, presented in conjunction with boys from the swimming team. Pro Musica, formerly the Piano Club, presented three talent assemblies and several noon-time concerts for the entertainment of the student body. Two new clubs formed this term are Pan-Americana and the Aeronautics Club. With such a variety of interests represented in school clubs, no student should find himself saying, I never have anything to do. CLUBS SAILING CLUB CE SKATING CLUB CLUBS PROJECTION CLUB FRENCH CLUB PRO MUSICA COIN COLLECTORS CADUCEANS MANUSCRIPT CLUB CLUBS ART CLUB CHINESE-AMERICAN CLUB CAMERA CLUB DANCE CLUB CHESS CLUB A. W. V. S. AERONAUTICS CLUB oim’ SHIELD AND LANCE PAN AMERICAN CLUB GROUP II Members of the art classes have contributed much to the school in a decorative way. They produce the posters which adorn our halls, as well as the covers of our play programs and all our dance bids. This term the music department presented The Pirates of Penzance as the annual operetta. The budding Bachs and Beethovens of the school offered their annual recital of compositions by members of the harmony classes. Despite a decided manpower shortage the dramatic department presented six noon plays. Chosen as the senior play was Pride and Prejudice. Because of the low royalty on this play the cast was able to have a belter set and better costumes to help insure an excellent show. THE ARTS NOON PLAYS Mrs. Florence Schwimley's Drama II dosses were kept very busy this term potting on noon plays for the enjoyment of the student body and the financial benefit of various groups and organizations around the school. This term there were two advanced Drama classes, an unusual situation which simplified the production of the noon shows consider ably. Mrs. Schwimley was still kept hopping, though, keeping a steady stream of them coming. The Girls' Association play, Jerry Brooks a Date, got the series off to a hilarious start. Active ticket sales preceded this piece, and none of the buyers were disappointed. Everything's Off, sponsored by the Honor Society, followed, and was also a rooring success. Roaring is an understatement; the audience raised the roof with its laughter! The Bard at Bakersville High. Sugar and Spice, The Pampered Darling, and Romance is o Rocket all followed in rapid succession. The needy Board of Control received the proceeds from all of these highly successful comedies. The Little Theater was packed at every performance, and each play was o financial success, as well os a success from the entertainment point of view. Mrs. Schwimley and her students deserve a vote of thanks. Elizabeth Eastman THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Richard, a Pirate Chief Samuel, his Lieutenant ....

Like all Gilbe-t and Sullivan operettes, the Pirates has a gey, satirical p'ot and catchy songs. Everyone left ecch performance feeling generally braced up. The lerds were democratically chosen by tryouts, wh'ch were open to the entire student body. The choruses were chosen from Mrs. Eunice Skinner's mus’c e’esses, end our faithful and we'l conducted orchestra p'oyed beautifully for the entire evening. Not on'y the mus:c students are concerned with producing the operetta, however. Tn’erted ort students painted the 'ove'y scenery which formed a p ersVg background for the cct'on. Drama students css sfed in makeup end propert'es, and the stage and electric crews played essenticl parts. A lerge shore of the credit, too, goes to Mrs. Sk'n-re-, Mr. Earl Morton, Mrs. Florence Schwimley, AArs. Kathryn Livingston, and all the other teachers who made contributions to the production. Everyone worked together to achieve one of the gayest, most colorful, most tuneful, most enjoyeb'e, most enthusiastically received operettas yet produced at Berkeley High.

Miss Cora Hampel, Mrs. Florence Schwirr ey, Mrs. Kathryn Liv-ngston. one M ss Alice Taylor chose the double cast of 26. Because of the low royalty on the ploy, the cost as enabled to hove ou stanc g y beautiful costuming. The sets, done by our own art students, were beautiful and realistic, and the orchestra, ably directed by Mr. Earl Morton, added its necessary and pleasing contribution. The thrii! of being chosen for the cost, the cssur-once that costumes, sets, and music will be tops, though, are hardly ail that make o play a success. Before that success is possible, tnere must come hard, even tiresome industry—on the part of the cost to master lines, characterizations, end awkwerd costumes, and on the part of the director to weld oi into on integrated hole coiled the successful ploy. Both our cast and Mrs. Schwimley, perennially thanked for her tire ess ecorts, had that industry, and on the nights of May 25 and 26, a Social Ha filled to capacity acclaimed Pride and Prejudice a super, successful play. Karen Hoiriis BAND ORCHESTRA A form of err contrasted to singing one ac ng, and ery difficult to achieve, is instrumental music. How many in the audience of ' The Pirates of Penzance reaiized hat a culmlnct'on oi effort they were witnessing or. the part of the orchestra? The average background of each orchestra member is abou cve years of diligent practice. Last fail, when the band marched out onto the foetbe fie:d picying the ' Thunderer, it eppeored from the stends to be effecting a spie d d feat. But to a member of the bend, it was just a repetition of the seme thing -e hed done every seventh pe oo for the lest three weeks. The great moment for the bard end orchestra wes the Parent-Teachers At'cc'ct o- '.'us:ca!e. It was set-•sfying to hear the orchestrc p'ey c'cssical se'ectlors. and to reel the general expression of excrement, enjoyment, end cooperation. The band gave a fitting climax to the program. As the curtains ported and the band pioyed Indiono Guards, the audience brecthed, 'This is whot we've been waiting for. Many members ore graduating Surely there will be nothing they will miss more than the tedious tun-irg up, the practicing over and over ega n of strains, the humor during rehearsals, the rivalry for first chair, and the final peak of public cppearance. Behind these memories is Mr. Earl Morton, directing, instructing, and f nally drawing forth music from the collective individual efforts. Berkeley High Band end Orchestra, we salute you!

PAT UlftON The spring lerm athletic season was rather favorable, on the whole, to Berkeley High, with basketball success starting off the sports program with a bang. The term found basketball as king for only a couple of weeks as the Jacket five played out the last half of the ACAL season and finished with seven victories and three defeats, second place in county league competition. The first of March heralded the opening of the spring sports season. The track and swimming teams started off in winning style but the baseball nine won only one practice contest. Although the cindermen slumped with losses to Piedmont and Richmond, the swimmers kept up their strong pace as the term progressed. ATHLETICS G. A.

Bee bosketbcl team, and row the t-cek team, have been victorious. Nice coaching, Mr. Moffet! Bill Bailey BASEBALL The Jacket baseball team stcrted o this year's ACAl seoson rother poorly but jhowed itsel to be on ominous opponent before the season eos completed. Main threat of Berkeley's team was the terrific hotting power displayed by such copoble hitters as Jim Glenn, Al McCulloch, Jim Ellis, and Carl ond Bill Von Heuit. Any one of these boys was able to break up a boll game with o so1 id :ine drive smash, and f the Jackets won a gome, if wos usuo y for this reason Ellis also led the pitching deportment and could be depended upon to hurl a beautiful game once he put his foot on the mound Assisting him were Jim Fish, Geo'ge Sorenson, ond Don Horton Berkeley's squad wos mode up mosHy by sophomores ond juniors. This situation gives promise for future Joeket teems, but it was one of the main reosons for the many Berkeley defeats this season. Time and time again the Jockets would loy a victory in the opposing teom's lop by moking errors at crucial points during the contest. Much credit for the hord work done during this year's season should be given to monogers David Hartley, Byron Byron, and Lawrence Berry Each one did good work of his respective job, and it is certainly a thankless job that con only be appreciated by o member of the baseball teom. Curly Meekei SWIMMING VARSITY TEAM BEE TEAM This yeor, as in the post, fne Berkeley High swimming team has piled up a record that ranks if os one of the finest in Californio During a long season the Berkeley paddlers were undefeoted by high school opponents, ond our boys even tied the University of Californio in one meet. Thot first meet with UC wos really the high point in the season, with John Dillon, Waldo Cook, Col Chapmon, ond Will Bean accounting for most of the points that earned Berkeley the 33-33 tie Another high spot wos the meet with Alameda, Berkeley s traditional rivals in swimming. The Hornets came orer with high hopes ond went back home with a 50-16 shellacking tacked on their record. In the entire season Berkeley conquered St Ignatius, 39-27, the Alumni, 35-24, Lincoln, 56-9, Stockton, 39-26, ond the S.F. YMCA, 53-6. Added to this record is the victory over Alameda and the t:e with UC. The swimmers' lone defeat was in o rematch with Californio, which the Bears won, 41-25. The outstanding individual performer in the 44 season was Captain John Dillon. Establishing a school record in the 100 yard backstroke of 1:06.9, and covering the 50, 100, ond 220 yard distances in the freestyle events in the fme times of 25.7, 59 flat, ond 2:36, John proved himself to be one of the finest swimmers in northern Californio Another outstanding othlete was Waldo Cook, who set a league record in the 100 yard breaststroke of 1:12.4, besides swimming in the 100 and 50 yard freestyle races. Both Dillon end Cook several times sacrificed personal glory to strengthen the team os o whole by swimming in races thot were not their specialty, but thot would gain more points for Berkeley. Although the Pod goes to press before the ACAl meet and the NCS championships, there seems to be little doubt that BHS will again win both of these competitions. Piling up paints for Berkeley in these events will be the freestylers. Will Bean, Sherburne Cook, A.I Dowden, and Mike Arioli; breaststrokers Ed Patterson, John Farmer, and Al Winslow; Col Chapman ond Vince Wood should score in the diving, with Don Mork counting in the backstroke race The Closs B team was very strong this year, ond if was unfortunate no team in northern California could field a lightweight squod copoble of giving the Berkeley aggregation o close bottle. Oufstand ing for the Bees were Captoin Ston Brandon, Pottol, Hitfel, Ready. Cleovland, McKensie, and Cummings. Karl Kroeber CADET CORPS HEADQUARTERS The Berkeley High School Cadet Corps was organized in late November of 1943. A group of boys was chosen for an officers' class to comprise the commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the battalion. The officers went through a six-weeks course of intensified drill, ectures, and army administration. The Cadet Corps officially opened their term on February 1, 1944, when uniforms were issued and drill was started. The weekly calendar is supplemented by military movies and lectures, and the University of California permits the Corps to use their rifle range, thus giving the cadets on opportunity to learn military range procedure and to fire for record. The cadets hove been passing the Naval Pre-Flight swimming tests. Sergeant Norman Rickli demonstrated hand-to-hand combat and judo to the cadets. Judo is only one of the toughening-up exercises used during the course. The first annual Military Ball was presented June 2, the funds for the dance having been raised by the cadets when they took over a tin can collection drive. Our Commandant, Lieutenant Emil Lamar, has done a splendid job in shaping our bat-tolion into one of the finest in the state, and we wish him continued success. Zone Hink Major, B.H.S.
