(Miss Fraser ' s Class) Through with two years ' work at Gar- field the low sevenths who arrived one rainy morning in the year 1919, are now in Miss Fraser ' s Low Nine advisory. The class consists of forty-two girls and boys. Among the members of the class, there are four new ones who came to this school this term: Jean McCallum, Dorothy Tewks- bury, Auda White and Roger Sears. At the beginning of the term we elected our class officers. Our president is Esther Cox; vice-president, Clayton Warren; sec- retary, Annabel Lee; and treasurer, Rol- land Elrod. There are some athletes in our class. Roger Sears, George Logan, Julian Smith, Walter Wyatt, Henry Eddy are those who play basketball. Walter Wyatt and Julian Smith both have played on the school baseball team as catchers. We also have a fine girls ' baseball team of which Mari- on Mortimer is captain, and Jean McCal- lum and Annabel Lee are members. There are five in our class who were in the victorious typing team, namely: Bob- bie Case, who won the medal; Rolland El- rod, Walter Wyatt, George Logan and Bernard de Guiere. All helped to win the banner for Garfield. On Arbor day our class planted a Mon- terey pine on the new school grounds. We all hope it will grow to be a beautiful tree. Many of the boys are members of the Glee Club. At the end of this term the two Low Ninth classes are going to give the High Nines a farewell party. Al- though we will miss the High Ninth when they are gone, we are glad that we will have the honor of being the highest and first class to graduate from the new Gar- field school. Our visit to the new school on the morning of May 27 made us feel that we could do better work next term than we have ever done before. LOW NINTH II. (Miss Grover ' s Class) The low ninth grade is very active in athletics. We have among our number a large percentage of aces in athletics. As an example, take husky F. W.; look F. B. over, and you find him fit. R. B. figures big on the team, and S. K. does fine. D. K. still equals that record he has be- hind him, e specially in that big basketball swing he has. We excel in basketball, baseball, and football teams. We practice every day some of these sports. Our three good captains are: Ray Gilmore, football cap- tain; Robert Booth, football captain, and Francis Wagner, captain of basketball. All are in Miss Grover ' s section of the Low Nine.

Garfield Gleaner Vol. VIII BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, JUNE, 1921 No. 1 HIGH NINTH (Miss Martin ' s and Mrs. Gray ' s Classes) The high ninth class of this year is one of the most active that has ever graduated from Garfield. It has participated in every event of importance in the school this term. There have been representatives in Baseball, Indoor, Basketball, Glee Club, Rotary Club Dinner, and Orations. In fact there has been no important event in Gar- field this term in which there has not been a high ninth representative. The high ninth was represented in base- ball by Edmond Combatalade, pitcher and captain of the team, who has since been chosen pitcher on the All-Intermediate Team. The Indoor Baseball team of Garfield is the A -9 team which defeated all other class teams and is now playing against other intermediate teams. The team has already won two games, one from Edison and the other from Willard and is going after Burbank which will mean the cham- pionship if we win. In typing, Garfield won the novice cham- pionship and the team championship at the Business Show. The A-9 class was well represented, by four contestants, Carol Kidder, Ethel Schmiedescamp, Paul Wil- son and Jack Chance. There was also a preliminary contest at Garfield for all the pupils to see. A five minute speed test was run before each grade in Garfield. This has been the first term the girls have played for championship in baseball. The A-9 girls have taken an active part in this form of athletics. In the Arbor Day Celebration at Gar- field, we were represented in an oration by Ida Railcy. In the afternoon we adjourned to the new school grounds where each class planted its tree. The tree of the high ninth was the California Redwood. The high ninth semi-annual Ivanhoe ex- hibit was very interesting. Any of those who wanted to try, and especially those who had talent, were urged to make as many pictures as they could, to represent the different characters in Ivanhoe. On May 18, a lunch was given to the Baseball and Typing teams of Garfield School. Six members of the high ninth were present. On Lincoln ' s birthday a program was given by the different classes. Alfred White represented the high ninth class in an oration on the Lincoln memorial. In the Thrift campaign this year, Gar- field School bought $500 worth of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. Of this, the amount bought by the A-9 ' s was $119. The Shakespearean Play this year was very different from the previous ones. Various scenes were taken from five differ- ent plays, and were acted by the pupils. Prospero, of the Tempest, introduced the scenes in language not strictly Shake- spearean. The costumes worn were made by the girls of the sewing class, under the supervision of Mrs. Brennan. We have been proud of our honor roll during the past term. At one time the honor roll average of Mrs. Gray ' s class was 66%. Miss Martin ' s class has also a praiseworthy honor roll, increasing each time. One of the great successes of the A-9 Class was in the construction of short stories in book form. As this was a very important part of the A-9 work, a great deal of time and effort was put on their construction. The finished product showed the effort of the pupils. Covers with all manner of designs were put on these story books. Some used pictures to illustrate their meaning. This term ' s A-9 class completely sur- passed all other A-9 classes in art when, on March 28, the pupils presented to Mrs. Gray their Myth Books. Mr. Wilson invited Mrs. Gray to send a few books up to the University of Califor- nia. Laura Mitchell and Alfred White ad- dressed the University class on the making of the books. A committee from Miss Martin ' s room, consisting of Lome Mat- teson and Jeffrey Lunge,- passed the books around. Mr. Wilson said that the students talked about the books for an hour after- ward and would have continued if he had given permission. The cast of characters of the Shake- spearean program was as follows: MIDSUMMER NIGHT ' S DREAM King ' .Lome Matteson Queen ....Thelma Hovgaard Bottom Alfred Chandler Quince Jack Chance Fairies. Imelda Rahill Winifred Pearce Mable Bates Roselee Miller Albert Young Frank Helm John Irwin Samuel Wells

OUR PRIZE- WINNING TYPING TEAM. Although typing was introduced into Garfield only this year we have reason to be proud of our typing teacher. Miss Marian Arendt, and the great efficiency that her pupils have attained. At the school business show, held at the High School on May 9, novice teams of ten members each from the five Berkeley schools which have typing, were entered in a contest of speed and accuracy. Gar- field was winner, and our team was awarded the first prize, a beautiful silk banner. Bobbie Case, one of our team, won the medal for the best individual typist in the intermediate schools. Hurrah for our team, whose pictures adorn this issue of the Gleaner.
