12 GARFIELD GLEAXER LOW SEVENTH II. (Miss Abbay ' s Class) OUR MANSION Perhaps you may have seen our man- sion some day as you -were on your way to the numerous and sundry buildings of the school, and admired its individual architecture, but for the sake of those who have not, I will try to describe it and its luxurious interior. Advancing upon its bulk, on the left side it appears to be an incense factor} ' , from the volume of smoke pouring out of the doors, windows and small crevices, or perhaps some casual visitor coming sud- denly upon it. would in fright run to the nearest fire station and turn in an alarm. You. my dear readers, must know the real truth: it is only our patented oil heater warming up. A front view of the home proves our real originality for (excuse me if I boast) we have the only building with a garden. Allow me to boast further. When you reach the top steps (you are lucky if you do) you behold our door which contains a pane of colored glass that is a work of art. Beneath it is an old fashioned door bell. According to rule you should ring it to gain admission, but in our home, ber ing original, you open the door without further ado and walk in. Once inside you are confronted by a hallway and on the door to the left is a little French girl who bows enticingly. Following instinct you walk in, being quiet lest you disturb the peaceful inhabitants. You glance around the room, noting with interest the works of art upon the walls and the frescoed ceiling. The venti- lating system is unique, one pane of glass being removed by sudden contact with a stray baseball. Allowing your gaze to wander from the wonders of this interesting interior, you confront no less than Miss Abbay ' s bril- liant class of 7-B girls. Sitting in the last seat of the last row to the left is Frances Bradley, our efficient president. Across the aish? is our far-famed secretary, Gladys Brown, and her great friend, our trust- worthy treasurer. Eleanor Hovey r . Next you see. as your eyes rove around the class, our great helper. Honor Brown, the vice president, who always lives up to her name and the class motto. To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night but the day. thou canst not then be false to any man. Honor is not the only person of the class to live up to our mot- to, for though we sometimes fail, we will always strive to live up to our motto and the ideals of Garfield school. Genevieve Lynch. LOW SEVENTH III. (Miss White ' s Class) On January 17. 1921. the thirty-two members of the B Seven Three class arrived at Garfield from nine different grammar schools. Annex 5, otherwise known as The Grocery Store, on Vine Street, has been our class room, in spite of which fact we have not failed to have an active part in all the activities of the school. Both boys and girls represent us in baseball, track, swimming and rowing, while Marian Thomas, in the orchestra, and Henry Whaley and others in the Glee Club have brought us right to the front in musical affairs. As class officers, James Tuttle. president. John Pugh. secretary, and George Planz, treasurer, have proved very capable. All of us are trying to live up to our class motto. Save. Serve, Succeed. ' Class Secretary. LOW SEVENTH IV. (Mrs. Kellogg ' s Class) THE ROTARY CLUB DINNER. Since we sit in the cooking-room it seems appropriate that we write about eating. William Chase was chosen from our advisory of seventeen boys to attend the Rotary Club dinner. His report was some- what as follows: We got down there (to the Whitecot- ton) at about 12.00. Each Rotary man was to take a boy in. The man who took me in was called Charlie. He has a posi- tion in one of the banks. The dinner was very good. We had first an asparagus salad, then string beans, fried potatoes and meat. For dessert there was a slice of ice cream with raisins and pieces of maraschino cherries, and a big strawberry right in the middle. In the center of one of the tables was a large keg labeled K. E. G. Those sitting at the table were a committe and the K. E. G was their secret sign. The one who guessed it won a prize. The prize was the keg. The correct answer was Keep ' Er Goin ' . Besides all this there were several speeches, one of which was about power available in some of the nearby streams. Mr. Herbert Jones made a very fine address, which we boys appreciated very much. GARFIELD ' S BASEBALL TEAM. It is not necessry to go out and con- quer everything in order to accomplish something worth while. Our baseball team, composed of all new players except one, won the last three of the six games played with the Willard. Burbank and Edison. We tied with Edison for second place. That is a good record, considering that we had to go clear across the city to play our games. The players were full of pep and good spirit and played their very best throughout the schedule.

GARFIELD GLEANER 13 We know that with our own new field to practice on we shall have a winning- team next year. THE TEAM: Captain Edmond Combatalade, our pitch- er, was on the mound in every game, had everybody guessing all the time and was one of our mainstays. We are sorry to lose our veteran next year. Walter Wyatt, catcher, was a hard hit- ter, besides taking care of all the balls behind the bat. Jack Murphy, first base- man, was there with the goods, whether fielding or batting; Francis Wagner held second base in good fashion, being always there on the peg from Wyatt; Kenneth Robie. shortstop, fielded in great style; Eldred Cooney could always be counted on to take good care of third base; Ray- mond Gilmore, left field. Bayard Rucker, right field, and Breck Reed, center field, played their positions well, and will do better next year. Unless Mr. Rushforth is snatched up as coach by some big league team he will add to his glorjr with the wining team at Garfield next 3 ear. S. K. OUR ROWING CREW. Although we are a long way from Lake Merritt, nevertheless we have organized a tip-top rowing crew. Not long ago this particular crew signed up for a race in the regatta of May 6, 1921. So we were present at Lake Merritt on the given date. Several other races came off and then ours was called. The big, burly boathouse captain helped us disentangle ourselves from the crowd and trickle down onto the landing. We stood looking as businesslike as possible, because there was a crowd of sailors standing on the ah — er — piazzas that run around the boat- house. We were assigned to boat L. This worthy craft seemed to have (mind I said seemed) some luck attached. Poor, unsuspecting crew, we thought that be- cause the first crew to sail in it had won, the second come out in a tie, we would surely win. But we were slightly dis- appointed. For we learned (after the race had started that boats could develop streaks. Well, this one did, and they weren ' t streaks of greased lightning either. First an oarlock would break, then an- other, our foot rests would flop out of place and strike our unsuspecting shins. Then to cap these handicaps, two big excursion boats had to sail alongside of us, and being on the outside course, we had to fight their swell. Now mind, I ' m not squealing — but I am merely showing why we came in third, and not first or second. Besides, I think we really did well. We had had only five lessons and only two practices before the race. And before I close I want to give a word of thanks to Miss Stout for starting us in our lessons, for Mrs. Cercher in coaching us so nicely, and I want to lead a yell for our coxy who did some mighty fine work. Our coxswain is a girl in the A-8 going by the name of Edna Turner. I migh add that next year we are going to try for first place again, only we are going to have two crews. Ka Cey, A-8. GLEE CLUB. The Garfield Boys ' Glee Club, which started a few years ago, under the super- vision of Miss Wilson, has not only proved a success but is on its way to fame. The Lions ' Club of Berkeley asked Miss Wilson and Mr. Hennessey if the Glee Club could sing at a luncheon they were giving. Then the Rotary Club asked if the boys could come down and sing at an entertainment. The Glee Club did so well that the pastor of the Wesley Church asked if they would sing for them. Then the pastor of the First Congregational Church asked them to sing. The Glee Club represented Garfield by singing at the Berkeley High School when they had the business show. But the greatest honor of all came when they sang at the Greek Theater. All the children of Garfield School and teachers and Mr. Hennessey are proud of the Glee Club, for it made a reputation for Garfield in musical lines. J. M. OUR TEACHERS. Teachers at Garfield this term have done or are planning to do many interesting- things. Miss Grover appeared carrying a cane, the result of an accident some months ago; Miss Prindle has gone on a trip to France; Mrs. Turner is teaching French at the University Intersession every after- noon after school; Mr. Hennessey will teach citizenship classes for the University Summer School; Miss Martin fractured a bone in her foot and traveled on crutches for several weeks; Mrs. Kellogg recently underwent an operation for appendicitis; Miss Fraser will leave in July for a three months ' tour of Italy, Greece and other interesting countries; Miss Arendt acquired poison oak and her eyes disappeared for several days, causing her absence from school; and, finally, before another term begins. Miss Woodin will have changed her name to Mrs. Leonard Beckwith and will have gone to Fresno to live, accom- panied by the best wishes of everybody at Garfield. PROSPECTIVE LOW SEVENS VISIT.
