F II li K IV II It II The Pod staff of Fall '45 takes pleasure in presenting to you the first postwar Olla Podrida. As all the early postwar articles, it is minus a great deal of the glitter of the prewar predecessors. Yet, we, the staff, look with pride on this yearbook. By the small cartoons throughout the book we have attempted to show you some of the things peace will bring. We feel we were privileged to be the class to dedicate its book to the peacetime future. The staff has spent many hours turning out a book worthy of such dedication. As the excitement of the presentation draws near, I would like to pause and thank every member of this hard-working staff and its real instigator, Mrs. Sidney Wales. Had it not been for her, this book would not have reached its successful conclusion. We of the staff will feel we have succeeded in our purpose if this Olla Podrida brings back to you some of the joys of Berkeley High. We hope you, the students, will enjoy this book—it is for you. Marjorie Read.

HUM It'll in September 2, 1945—a date which will go down in the annals of history. The greatest conflict in the history of the world came to an end. Berkeley High began to settle down to a peacetime existence. The change at first was not too apparent, but little things soon made us all aware that we were no longer living under wartime pressure. We take these changes to be evidence of things to come. Looking toward the future, we see school spirit reaching an all time high; we see those oft dreamed-of new buildings gracing our campus; yes, we even see a class graduating from the auditorium. To say that we who are leaving are not envious would be an untruth; we are. Yet we, the class of Fall '45, hope that in our own small way we have contributed to the success and happiness of Berkeley High students—both present and future. To you, the classes entering a peacetime era, and to all those, both living and dead, who made the peace possible, we dedicate this book.
