Mrs. Phyllis Walker Mrs. Phyllis Walker began her years of teach- ing at Berkeley High School in the Fall of 1945. Previous to that time she had taught at Carmel Junior and Senior High School and at Redlands High School. During her career in Berkeley she accepted two exchange teacher appointments, the first at Victoria, Australia, 1 955 to 1 956, and the second at Summit, New Jersey, 1 957 to 1 958. At the conclusion of her teaching career at Berkeley High School, Phyllis Walker neither needs nor desires accolades. She has done her work exceedingly well. Much of her own intellec- tual curiosity and objectivity of attitude has been transmitted to her students. Certainly many of them have felt and understood her kind and sym- pathetic approach. Now Mrs. Walker closes behind her one door, that of the world of Berkeley High School; but another door opens into a larger and less re- stricted world; a world of travel, inquiry, and freedom. As her friends, colleagues, and stu- dents, we wish her great satisfaction and pleasure in her further exploration of her world. Mrs. Edna Lawson Mrs. Edna Lawson has been teaching drawing and crafts at Berkeley High School since 1947. She attended Alameda High School and gradu- ated from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1926, and came into the Berkeley school system that fall as an assistant to the elementary art supervisor, Miss Zinnie Kidder. Mrs. Lawson is a superb craftsman and her high standards are reflected in the work of her students. Mrs. Lawson has loved teaching and it will be hard to replace her. One of he r chief interests is gardening, a hobby which she shares with her many friends. Future plans include courses in Botany, Music Appreciation, and travel, and we wish her good luck and God speed. 5

Those of you who have had Mr. Ehlers as a public speaking teacher will probably agree that Mr. Ehlers is one of the most interesting teachers at Berkeley High School. Much will probably be said of his fine accomplishments long after he ends his term of teaching here. Mr. Ehlers is a graduate of Berkeley High School and the University of California at Berkeley, where he directed the little theater. After leaving the University of California, he was a professional actor for ten years in California, two years in Australia, and one year in Texas. After his acting career, he went into radio broadcasting, and for many years, he was chief announcer for NBC. He was a free- lance radio and TV artist specializing in all dialects, and wrote pageants for Oakland, A lameda, Albany, and Berkeley. He also taught English classes for foreign-born students. Mr. Ehlers is one man whom no one will ever forget. He has devoted much of his time and energy to the students of B.H.S. radio program on KRE called Berkeley Highlights and has continued directing speech contests and graduation speeches for some thirty-four graduation programs. He has been the sponsor of the Speakers ' Bureau, and has done much to develop the speech abilities of his students. Mr. Ehlers has always placed the students before himself and has devoted much of himself to send them on a promising road to the future. This year marks the end of a most successful and rewarding career for Mr. Richard Ehlers. Mr. Ehlers, we who have been your students will carry lasting impressions of true and fine character. We are grateful for skills you have developed in us. We are sure you will enjoy your various interests in the days ahead. We will miss you. 4
