The annual Hallowe'en party took place on October thirty-first. This year the girls undertook a more difficult form of entertainment than has heretofore been attempted. The Assembly Hall was converted into a miniature New York City. In the doorway stood the Statue of Liberty in all her majesty ready to greet the guests. Directly in the center of the hall was a tiny Central Park with a lake and boats, bridle paths, shrubs and a zoo containing every kind of animal. The construction of this park was undertaken by the Senior Class and Upper Four. In one corner of the hall Upper Three very artistically reproduced Chinatown, where tea and wafers were offered to the sightseers. Upper Three also had charge of the Bowery, where organ grinders, fruit vendors and dirty little newsboys were to be found. Upper Two were in charge of the Fifth Avenue Canteen. This was the attraction of the evening. Refreshments, con- sisting of lemonade, Lorna Doones and lollypops, were served from this canteen, and the sailor lads and canteen workers added greatly to the spirit of the evening. Upper One gave us a glimpse of an attractive artist studio in Green- wich Village. The artist, with his pupils, was hard at work and the entire scene was charmingly portrayed. After the guests had made a thorough tour of the city the sights were cleared away and a vaudeville entertainment foi- lowed. The attraction of the evening was an intrepretive dance by Elma Bayer entitled On to Victory. Following the vaudeville came a general dance. Every- body voted that this Hallowe'en party was the best ever given in the history of the school. The Spring Dance The Spring Dance was held on Friday evening, April the twenty-fifth.

Valedictory Mi,f.e Jiieood, Friends, Tczwlzerzv and Girls of Berlcdvav Illififllltl' Now the school career of the Class of 1919 is brought to an end. lt is our turn to be graduated. Perhaps some of us have never stopped to think what the word graduate means. It means a stepping ahead, an advancement to another stage of life. These school days have probably been the happiest of our lives and we shall always look back with pleasure upon the friendships and attachments we have made at Berkeley. Our last year is over and we wish to say a few words of appreciation for all that has been done for us, and to express in some way our thanks to those who are responsible for it. To all the friends, interested in our welfare in school, who have helped to make this year successful, we extend our thanks. Among these are all the members of the faculty whose kind patience and assistance have meant so much to us To the school we extend our wishes for future success and our sincere thanks for the help they have given us dur- ing our senior year. And now that the time has come to leave, it is with deep regret that we say good-bye. Miss Atwood, may 1 assure you of the esteem and love of the Class of 1919. --fi: p v 43192-,Fg.-,lf-GI..
