At first you may not see any connection between the book which you hold in your hand now and a steaming pot of Spanish stew. But as you thumb deeper among its pages you will find the recipe is the same for putting together a Pod as for the cooking of a spicy stew. That is a little bit of everything. This terrn's Pod staff has made a sincere attempt at getting a little bit of everything in his semi-annual report on school lite. This year's Pod is not vastly different from those of past years. But it will serve to point out the laughs and thrills of high school lite during the past six months. To this we have added our own artistic touch. But there is something in this book besides photographs and art work. There is the spirit of a class. The high senior class - 474 students strong. On their entrance three years ago they were nothing but a scared group of low l0's, the butt ot much upperclass joking and sarcasm. On their graduation in a few days they will have made a high mark in all scholastic and extracurricular activities offered in our school. Now it is time for us to leave. As graduating seniors we have only one re- quest, that the lowerclassmen keep alive the spirit and tradition of our campus, which we for the past three years have tried to keep alive.

X In the turmoil cmd confusion of the world we know today, there are few ideals which offer a better chance for peace and happiness than sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect for your fellow men. F ew men in the history of Berkeley High have done so much to develop and strengthen these ideals and principles in our students as Hiram Hi Iennings, outstanding member of the faculty for thirty-one years. In 1920 Mr. Iennings arrived on the BHS campus straight from Bonita High School in La Verne, California, where he had taught and coached for five years. His ability must have been well known as he was immediately placed at the head of the boys' athletic department. Along with this duty, he coached the baseball team from 1920 to 1930. As if this were not enough for one man to handle, he was also elected Secretary of the ACAL, a position he has retained ever since. Iennings' fame as an athletic director spread throughout the State, and in 1936 he was elected Secretary of the North Coast Athletic Council-another post he has retained throughout his teaching career. lune 15, 1951, will mark the end of this era, for on that day Hi lennings retires. We of the Olla Podrida Staff dedicate this Spring 1951 issue to Hi Iennings and his years of splendid serv- ice to his school, his state and his nation. He was a great leader and a grand fellow to know.
