6 GARFIELD GLEANER HIGH EIGHTH CLASS (Miss Kelton ' s, Miss Stout ' s and Miss Woodin ' s Class) The largest class ever promoted to the ninth grade at Garfield will receive di- plomas on Thursday afternoon. June 9. With the pupils who are doing some Ninth Grade work, there are about one hundred twenty-five in the class. All hope to con- tinue their work at Garfield next term and be the best ninth grade on record in this or any other school. Class Roll. Helen Allen, Lucille Anderson.

(Miss Kelton ' s Class) THE CLASS OFFICERS President Clifford Kinney Vice President Horace Haynes Treasurer Richard Wilkinson Secretary Walter Foss Recently we have discovered quite • an interesting fact about our class. Out of an enrollment of 46. all boys, only 15 were born in California, of whom 4 were born in Berkeley. The others came from the following states and foreign countries: Colorado. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana. New Jersey. New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Washington. Washington, D. C. England, Germany, New Zealand and Panama. The president of our class. Clifford Kin- ney, was selected from the high eighth grades to present the class tree, the Se- quoiia Sempervirens. to the new Garfield. The greater number of our class belong to the Glee Club, which has had such a fine year under the patient training of Miss Wilson. We have enjoyed visits to the new school, the First National Bank of Berk- eley, and the Lmiversity. Our baseball team, under our capable manager. George Dunn, and Captain Rob- ert Nation has been a shining light in the Garfield athletic world. We won against ever}- class team except the High Ninth who had superior fielding. We are sorry to lose such good com- petitors as the High Nines, who go to High next year. Our main interest now is centered on the Oratorical Contest which takes place on Tuesday of the last week. If the neigh- borhood becomes alarmed at our wild gestures and loud voices, we hope they will soon realize that we are harmless and are only practicing our orations. Here ' s hoping we will all graduate and be the best Ninth Grade that Garfield has ever enjoyed, carrying to the new build- ing all the good traditions and best school spirit that has been established in the past.

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.

They seemed to have a good class spirit and I liked all of them very much. One morning our teacher suggested or- ganizing the class and electing officers. After this ceremony was over, we, as a class, endeavored to better ourselves and have a few original ideas. Ten cents was decided upon as the monthly dues. With this money we are to give a party on Commencement Day. There are fifty girls in our room so we shall have more than enough money for the party. We hope to complete a wild-flower book and present it to the new school. There are many other things of interest in this class. We have had class picnics and learned class poems. Among many oth- er things we have some novel ideas for our graduation. Our teacher takes a great interest in her class and helps us in many ways. We are very sorry to lose her next semester, but hope she will be happy in her new venture. HIGH EIGHTH III. (Miss Stout ' s Class) It is a wonder that that poor old cottage isn ' t in pieces by this time. To be truth- ful it is in pieces now, especially since our class moved in. One by one the win- dows have cracked and a few have been broken, I suppose by the vibrations caus- ed by our yells at recess and noon. The back porch too, poor thing, is so nearly demolished that two girls went through the floor. (Meredith was the first to break the ice, — rather the floor). Between stamp- ing and dropping books, we have man- aged to wear cracks in the floors so we can watch the spiders playing tag in the basement. The board walk going around the side of the house has nearly succumbed to the tag games and is completely de- mobilized. Still, it all goes to show how much ' ' pep we have. If the cottage holds together I guess we can pull through, too. Ka Cey, A-8. LOW EIGHTH I. (Miss Gay ' s Class) I wish to introduce to you the B-8-I Class, one of the best in the Garfield school. At the beginning of the term we had thirty-four members. Of these we have lost one, our esteemed fellow class- mate, Raymond Rahill, who deserted us for Richmond. Our members are mostly Californians, though some are from foreign countries, one from Jamaica, one from Hawaii, and one from Canada. In most things we have prospered, but our sick list is discouraging. We have had about seven out for over two weeks each, five of them learning what the mumps felt like. We have learned to write much better since the beginning of the term, for the first two-thirds of the semester taking writing for half of the supervised study period. Miss Gay, our teacher, offered a book, Kazan to the one who became the best writer, and for second prize, a sterling- silver knife. Walter Thomas received Kazan and Margaret Stewart the silver knife. As a reward for our work in writ- ing, Mr. Hennessey took our class for the first personally conducted trip to the new school. Two of our members, Harry Fraser and Henry Godin, were in the French play. Harry Fraser was a prince and Henry Go- din a page, and both distinguished them- selves by their good work. Our Glee Club is one of the activities of our class that we feel especially proud of. We have a baker ' s dozen in membership. They were invited to sing at the Lion ' s Club, the Rotary Club, the First Congrega- tional Church, and finally covered them- selves with glory at the Greek Theatre. Marshall Horner was chosen as our class representative to dine at the Rotary Club Tuesday, May 24th. He behaved himself creditably and was enthusiastic about the good eats. In the early part of the term we went to the forestry exhibit at Hilgard Hall, where we learned to help the government care for our forests. The Science Class wrote compositions on the exhibit. We are well represented in sports, hav- ing Jack Murphy and Eldred Cooney on the baseball team, and several on the track team. Two of the girls were on the row- ing team, and several on the girls ' baseball team. Even with all the accomplishments I have related, we have one grievance. We did not see the wonderful ninth grade myth books, as Miss Gay was absent be- cause o f illness. We feel that this has been a very suc- cessful term, and I am able to close this meager description of our accomplish- ments with the thought that our class will do as well or even better the coming semester after vacation.
