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.

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
