Text from Pages 1 - 40 of the 1925 volume:

I Foreword IN CLASSIC MYTHS we learn of Janus, a Roman god, who guarded the gates of the cit3 Janus was blessed with two faces, one being at the back of his head. With one pair of eyes he watched over the affairs ;of the city; with the other, he watched the avenues of approach. Teachers are popularly supposed to be the lineal descendants of Janus, both in respect to their guardianship duties and to their having eyes in the backs of their heads. May I exercise my Janus-prerogative and take a brief glance in each direction? Looking backward, over the year just drawing to a close at Garfield, I see much that pleases me, far more than I ca n mention in the brief space allotted. There stand out conspicuously the splendid, cheerful adaptation of teachers and pupils to the crowded conditions due to our rapid growth; the remarkable spirit of helpfulness developed by our excellent Student Association; the unusual success of Garfield in athletics, in thrift-essay contests, in savings-accounts and in every other activity in which we have taken part; the unfailing response of students and teachers to every request for communit} service; Library Day, Sirkus Day, Tree-Planting Day, and the many special programs and assemblies, each more successful than those of preceding years; and, finally, the fine scholarship records made by the great proportion of our boys and girls. A whole page might be filled with recital of the wonderful assistance given to the school by the Parent-Teacher Association under the leader- ship of its capable, versatile, unselfish and tireless President, Mrs. C. E. Condon. We owe Mrs. Condon and her willing helpers a deep debt of gratitude. Looking forward we have every reason to be optimistic concerning next year ' s prospects. We know that we shall have hundreds of new students. We hope that we shall have more room, and more teachers. We are con- fident that by the end of another year our grounds will be wonderfully improved. A school like Garfield cannot stand still. Forward! March! To the two hundred boys and girls who are leaving Garfield after three happy years we wish Godspeed in their new work. May success and happiness attend them in all the years to come. — D. L. Hennessey. FAREWELL TO GARFIELD In a few days the high nines are leaving Garfield. We are going to a new school, where we will meet new friends and teach- ers. We shall never forget Garfield, though, and the friends we made there. We hope to make records next year, and all of the years to come, of which Garfield and our faculty will be proud. Our teams have played those of other schools, and have taken their victories and defeats in a sportsmanlike manner. They have always played fairly. Like these we will be fair about everything. As they have lost games so will we lose the things we have worked for, but like them we will be brave and try again. Look at our prophecy! There are among our number budding artists of every des- cription. In nineteen thirty-five, you will be looking at great pictures, hearing great singers, and reading great books for which the high nines of 1925 will be responsible. We have great explorers and discoverers in our group. Time will tell. Therefore with such promises and hopes for the future, we will leave Garfield, with the resolve always to do our best, and no one can do more. Wherever we go we will remember our Junior High School Days. Deep in our hearts, we will be faith- ful to the Orange and White, and watch her victories with pleasure. Edwina Putnam. HIGH NINE PROPHECY I went to see the movies on a summer afternoon, And listened to the orchestra drone out a sleepy tune, Then snuggled back into my chair prepared to have a treat, And see Tom Mix do horseback tricks and watch him keep his seat. But when I glanced up at the screen, imagine my surprise ! The future of my schoolmates was unrolled before my eyes. I saw them as they will appear when twenty years ensue.

THE PRACTICAL AGE The practical make-the-most-of-our-now- a-day life is ruled by common sense. The calculating view-point spells for efficiency. One delivers the goods, and masters the situation, so to say. But after all we are not refined machinery. Where are the g ' lamours of medieval chivalry, or the artistic glories of Greece, when men gathered around a master to meditate and discuss abstract phil osophy? Remember the days of Athens when high- minded men secluded themselves in Nature ' s wilderness to compose poetry, and delight themselves with solving of the mysterious tangles of human life ? But sad to say, romance dwells only in fiction now, it seems. The crowd thinks life too practical to bother with empty images. The irrational, carefree Bohemian life of the European are student is the nearest ap- proach to romance, I think. We would say, perhaps, that such a mode of existence is impractical, senseless and over-radical. But look again! How colorful, idealistic and ro- mantic! What a rich life of beauty! To be sure it exists only in their imaginations. But one ' s mind may be more real than the so-called real world. Who knows ? It seems to me that only artists know how to live, to extract the honey out of life. We, the engineers, business men and the rest, are the vulgar herds that run the machinery of the material world for them, unconsciously. They, the musicians, sculptors, painters, or poets revel in a world far above the clouds, tasting fruits of which we can not even form a picture. What do we think of such a rich life ? May it not be that our every-day practical life is but the shell ? If so, then where is the kernel, the real stuff? James Hu. EASTER LILIES As I came into the garden, I was met with a sweet perfume, I looked all around from the sky to the ground, And found Easter lilies in bloom. Oh, beautiful lilies so waxen and white, With your centers so pure and so gold. You look like moonbeams fair and light. From a fairy garden old. If I ' m ever in sorrow or trouble. Then will I think of thee, I will think of the days of my childhood. And how much you meant to me. Virginia Knight. A DESCRIPTION OF A FOOTBALL TEAM OF GRECIAN GODS. The backfield of a football team usually presents its greatest problem, so I will se- lect it first. Jupiter, of course, will be the quarter-back. He is a handy, heavy player, and nothing is impossible for him. For my two half-backs I will take Flying Mercury and Pegasus for obvious reasons. Her- cules, because of his great strength, would be the ideal full-back in this backfield. The kicking would be done by Pegasus. Minerva and Mars will be my two ends. They are light and fast, with lots of fight. For the two tackles I select Diana and Nep- tune. They combine weight and speed, and have an infallible way of finding the holes. Pluto and Orion are the two best men avail- able for guards. Orion would also be good at center, but his weight and speed, coupled with the fierce charges of Pluto, make up an ideal guard combination. Juno, I believe, would make a good center. She is ox-eyed, and probably built like an ox, so that her speed and headwork would surely help in blocking punts, and other things, as Jupiter can well attest. Apollo will be the benchwarmer on this team, and Hebe the water carrier. Hydra and the Sirens, the rooting section, and Tri- ton, the band . The only drawback to this team is that to each one of these gods nothing is impos- sible, so all competition is lost. David Lyon. MR. SPETTE TURNS THE TABLES He was a miser, there was no doubt about that; and a rich miser, there was no doubt about that, either. Why should an old man live all alone in a ramshackle hut if this were not so ? Why should an old man sit up all night, with the light of a single candle making his ghostly shadow huge and omin- ous if he were not guarding his glittering horde ? Jim and Dick, boys at that happy-go-lucky age between fourteen and fifteen, sat con- sidering old man Speete as they called him. He ' s been living there for a long time, said Jim soberly, And it ' s high time we had some fun with him. What do you say to making him this year ' s April Fool ' s victim ? Good idea, Jim, replied Dick, but what could we do with him? Scare him, of course. How? Why, about his gold, of course, silly, said Jim. We ' ll pretend to be burglars, and then show him that we are not. But he ' d call the police, urged Jack. Not him, comforted Jim, he ' s scared of them, too. Dick had to be satisfied, so the boys part- ed with the intention of meeting again that night. That night, with the aid of a skeleton key, they opened the rustic, old-fashioned lock, and entered. They could hear the old man snoring loudly, so loudly, in fact, that he quite drowned out their mouse-like foot- steps. They entered the sleeping man ' s room, and, to their amazement, instead of finding piles of old fashioned coins as they had ex- pected, they found old newspapers, dating away back somewhere in 1925, about thirty years ago. Dictionaries of all descriptions decorated the room. What ' s the meaning of this? blurted out Jim. For once his intelligence was baffled. But Dick had picked up a paper and was examining it closely. Jim did likewise. In a moment both boys ' pencils were out. They were puzzles, with, fortunately, the direc- tions for solving them written on them. A few hours passed, and the next thing the boys knew, Mr. Spette himself was look- ing at them and laughing. So you thought you ' d fool me, did you? asked old Spette, good naturedly. Now look at you, ha, ha! What are these puzzles? queried Dick. We used to call them cross-word puzzles in my day, the old man replied. They used to be quite a fad. The boys liked the puzzles so much, that they spread the fun among their friends, and soon every newspaper was filled with them. One day, as Dick and Jim sat solving puzzles Dick said, We thought we ' d fool him, but we didn ' t succeed, did we? No, replied the other from the depths of a dictionary, we ' ve got to admit the joke ' s on us. Margaret Thunen, L-9-G. STARS The stars twinkled down from the darkened heights. Bright golden dots in the blue. And the moon shone forth, an unequalled light, So pale, yet so beautiful, too. The little stars skipped, the little stars played. And capered with daintiest tread. While they ran ' long the path of the Milky Way, And frisked o ' er its silvery bed. The court of the air was gathered there. Lovely queen Luna in gorgeous robes. For the sovereigns and courtiers, were giv- ing a ball , And carried their luminous globes. They danced, they danced, ' til the morning came. And hastened them all away. And Old Sol broke into happy smiles. And then ' twas bright break of day. Phyllis Preston, H-8-.S BOBBIE ' S POEM I gotta write a poem and you bet it ' s awful hard. But Mrs. Gray says Write it, and of t ourse no one is barred. I have no inspiration, so my thoughts I ' ll just unite, And tell you how my dog was, a week ago last night. He was just like always then, but I hadda make it rhyme. So now I will begin to tell about those birds of mine. They ' re yellow and brown canaries, and now they ' re making a nest. But they ' re just like other canary birds so I needn ' t tell the rest. And then, I have some fishes, they ' re gold and black and grey. And they ' ll reflect the sunshine, if it ' s a sunny day. I also have a cat, some chickens and some snails. They ' re just like other animals so this is the end of their tales. James Koford, H-8-S. AN OLD INDIAN LEGEND In the Nevada Desert, there is a spot the size of about one acre, and in this acre is a cemetery used for Indians who had lost their lives in battle. A little distance away there stands a queer shaped stone, on which are many carvings. I will try to relate as clearly as possible the legend which this concerns. In the early eighties, there dwelt a tribe of Indians on one side of the desert, and on the other side of the desert there lived an enemy tribe. It finally came to pass that the braves in one tribe started on the war path. As a coincidence, the braves of the other tribe started on the war path at the same time. They met in the middle of the desert, and they dashed like waves of the ocean. After a night of furious battle, one side was re- duced to a mere twenty, but on the other side there remained only one huge chief. He was bleeding from many wounds, and was fast weakening. When he saw such odds, he started to run, beating dov an op- ponent every once in a while, like a pur- sued bear. At last he dropped from loss of blood. When the braves in pursuit came up to him, they realized what a hero he was. They then got their tribe to put up a monu- ment in memory of this hero. This monu- ment took many days of work and if you should pass through that part of the desert you would find that it still stands beside the battlefield. Gerald Neasham. LIBRARY DAY Lace and ribbons are on maidens fair. In gowns of silk and powdered hair. Both Topsy and Eva are on display. Raggedy twms carry the day. Alice in Wonderland with golden curls. Runs with a host of other girls. Young Simon, simple as ever before, Dances as merrily as of yore; All of these characters when in their books lay, Yearn when they leave us, for next Library Day. Margaret Thunen. A MODERN CINDERELLA It rained, and rained, and rained. Streets were damp, cars were damp and gutters were overflowing. This was the beginning of a new year. Down the street where the traffic was scarce was a yellow cab with two occupants; one, an attractive, smartly-dressed young- woman with her escort who, as anyone could see, admired her very much. The cab had stopped near the Oakland mole and Miss Andrews, whom I afterward learned worked for the Mercantile Trust Company, and had been sent on an errand to Los Angeles, stepped out. After Mr. Edwards, her escort, had pur- chased her ticket the train drew up. Miss Andrews removed her rubbers from her feet and gave them to Mr. Edwards to be put into her suitcase which had been left in the vestibule. He hurriedly put the rubbers in the suitcase with his mind on the more interesting occupation at hand — that of telling Miss Andrews goodbye. About eleven o ' clock that night Miss An- drews found herself unpacking her grips in a room at Hotel Rosslyn. She suddenly remembered that she had not found her rub- bers and she was certain that Mr. Edwards had gone into the vestibule with them. In another room at Hotel Hayward, where business men usually stay, a young man whose name was Roy Williams, was also unpacking his grip. He was tall, had light curly hair, and eyes that showed signs of a pleasing personality. He was greatly sur- prised to find, at the top of his suitcase, a pair of lady ' s rubbers which looked as if they had been thrown in at the last minute. He reflected a moment. The name which was in each rubber was quite new to him and he thought that a cute, small person ' s feet would fit into them very nicely. That evening there was a knock on the door and Miss Andrews opened the door to find a neat package on the floor. She took it inside and discovered a card on which was written: Found by MR. R. S. WILLIAMS Traveller ' s Insurance Agency, Hotel Hayward. The phone rang and Roy Williams an- swered. A sweet voice (so he thought) thanked him very much for returning the rubbers and also said that she would like to meet him. These two became very good friends and as time went on their friendship grew. About three months later Mr. Edwards, while glancing at the paper, stopped sudden- ly for this is what he saw: Engagement of Mr. Roy Williams and Miss Ele anor Andrews announced yesterday afternoon. A very interesting romance be- cause of a pair of misplaced rubbers. Marguerite Schweizer, H-9-B. CONFUSION IN THE STELLAR REGIONS I. Orion, in a fit of rage, threw his club across the sky, And cutting through, the starry blue, hit Callisto in the eye. The flow of language as she flew was was certainly a ripper. And as she stumbled round the sky, she tumbled in the dipper. II. The dipper being bottomless, Callisto went on through, But over-flew the Pleiades to see what they could do. The seven sisters caught her just before she hit the ground. And tried to take her home again by soaring all around. III. Now the little bear began to cry ' cause mama wasn ' t home. And loudly called his mother to come back and not to roam. The hunter heard his plaintive call and with his bloodhounds strong. He started out in search of her and brought her back ere long. Fred Stripp. AIR CASTLES When I grow up to be a man, I ' ll travel to far off ' Japan, And see the little Japanee A-sitting there and sipping tea. In far off Egypt by the Nile, Many a happy hour I ' ll while. And visit Tut-ank-amen ' s tomb Where the ancient pyramids loom. To sunny Italy and to Spain. Let ' s hope my dreams are not in vain. There to see most beautiful scenes. All I need is just the means. Jack Quayle, L-8-W. Stuart McKay and Me Kay Stewart Once there lived, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, two men who loved each other very much; so much in fact, that they de- cided that they would be buried together when they died. They went up to Donner Lake on the shores of which, there are many big granite boulders and there on the hill side they cut a vault in the top of a granite rock. They labored for a long time before the work was finally completed. A month of so after the vault was com- pleted, a beautiful lady came to town and immediately both of the men, whose names were Stuart McKay and McKay Stewart, proceeded to fall in love with her. She married Stuart McKay and therefore the two men became great enemies and instead of being buried together in the grave that they had prepared for themselves, they nev- er saw each other again and were buried far apart in entirely different parts of the country. Every year many people visit the grave which took so much patience and labor to carve out of the living rock and which was never used for the purpose for which it was intended. Stuart Rose, L-9-G. NOTE— This is a true story. CHARLEY ' S ANT Say, Jack, let ' s go swimming, said one boy of about fourteen years old to another of the same age. Sure! replied Jack Rankin to Charley Johnson. The boys were both freckle-faced lads of Massachusetts. They lived in a little inland town and as it was July, most of the time was spent swimming in the nearby stream. They went dow n the road and took a short-cut through Old-Man Spettinger ' s fruit orchard. All of a sudden Jack gripped Charley ' s arm. Look, he said, see that kid creeping through the brush there ? Charley looked and there sure enough a boy was creeping through the brushes on the side of the orchard. Hum, mused Charley, looks like he is looking for — oh yes! He ' s a bughunter! Sure enough the boy was carrying a but- terfly net and was casting it in the direction of an elusive butterfly. At the sight of the boys he came up and introduced him- self. My name is Bibbs Knight, I just moved heah from Alabama. What are your names? he asked with his southern drawl. We ' re Charley Johnson and Jack Ran- kin, Jack replied. What are you looking for? Oh, I ' m a-looking foah a Simulationus Timoris A which? Charley burst forth. A red ant for my collection, smiled Bibbs. Oh, I know where you can get all you want of those Simulation what-ever-you-call - ' em things, said Charley. Where? asked Jack. Right up here, Charley answered, lead- ing out into the orchard. Following Char- ley the boys stepped out between the fruit trees. At the sight of some apples on a tree Charley exclaimed. I am going to kill two birds with one stone. How? asked Bibbs. I ' m going to get red apples and your old red ants at the same time, Charles replied climbing in the tree. Just as he had picked three apples, Jack cried out. Cheesit, Charley, here comes Old Spctt. You can get the ants some other time. At this the three boys turned and ran out of the orchard as old Spett came puffing up. While the boys were sitting under the old oak at the swimming pool, Charley burst forth: Aw! something bit me. The boys gathered around and Charley pulled out a red ant! Just what I ' ve been a-looking foah, Bibbs cried, Now I ' ve got my red ant. No, said Jack, You ' ve got Charley ' s ant. Robert Condon, H8. SPANISH S is for Spanish, Mrs. Kleeberger knov s how. P is for pronouns, they cause such a row! A is for anguish, we know what that means. N is for noun, on which everyone leans. I is for ignorance, we ' re perfect in that! S is for speed, we ' ll soon get it pat. H is for hardship, we ' ve had lots of that! Arabella Miler, H-9-K. THE FLEET I. One by one the ships sailed into view. Waving the flag of Red, White and Blue, ' Twas the greatest Armada e ' er sailed into the bay. Like a jewelled city in the water it lay. II. How beautiful was the sight. Of the illuminated fleet that night. Great shafts of light streamed o ' er the land. And music was played by the marine band. III. Sail on O Fleet! we enjoyed your stay, Sail out again o ' er the ocean gray, Some day we hope to greet you again. Farewell, 0 Fleet! Farewell till then. Robert Davis, L -8-W A HIKE 1. ' Twas seventy boys in morning ' s shine, With warm clad chests, and dry boots fine. That started from the Boy Scout camp, To look, to listen, and to tramp. II. The Devil ' s Mountain which was seen, Fair fifteen miles o ' ertops the green, This their goal, their aim to climb , The gift of nature for all time. III. And as they walked and wandered on. Across the meadows, good nature ' s lawn, They picked the flowers which there do stand, A thought of Heaven, and not of man. IV. The birds which all about them flew. The scoutmasters and old scouts knew. While walking with the smaller boys. This knowledge imparted gave great joys. V. The valley wood in time was reached. The creek, the trees, these things un- bleached, A haven in which to cool their heads, A place in which birds made their beds. VI. Again the walk but through the shade, As though the creek and trees were made For hikers who would like the air, Fruitful, fragrant, fresh, and fair. VII. Ascending now they left the wood. The thing that first had seemed so good. But as to the top their eyes they lend. The sunlight seems a welcome ' friend, VIII. On and up, into the breeze, Above the creek, above the trees, The scene below, the scene above, A tale oft told, like a tale of love. IX. At last by them the top was gained, A feat well worthy to be attained. For then they looked and saw below, A sight which thrilled them through and through. X. To the north, the south, the east, the west, They saw God ' s land at its very best. And when they stood and saw and dreamed, A life of love upon them beamed. Paschal H. C. Longaker, L-9-G. THE OFFICE Oh, our principal has a fine office, On the walls there are photographs rare, The statues and rugs are most lovely. Like a mirror is each shining chair. Oh, I often peeped into the office. As down through the hallways I went, And I love to look into the office — But, Gosh, how I hate to be SENT. Scared Tommy. THE TALISMAN There lived in a small village near the Alhambra in Spain, a poor ribbon weaver. Like all the other people of that region he believed in the marvelous tales about the enchanted rooms and the hidden treasures of the Alhambra, which were bound under a magic spell. Everybody seemed to dream of finding a treasure which would enable him to live the rest of his days in luxury; in fact, the feel- ing of mystery and enchantment seemed to be in the very atmosphere. One night, as our ribbon weaver wandered along the banks of the Darrow river, he found a figure of a knight on horseback with his lance. There were several Arabic inscriptions on it, which he could not read. On the next day he took this to a Moorish merchant and asked him to read it. After much pondering and studying the merchant said he would not tell unless he was given half interest in it. The ribbon weaver was very angry at this but at last agreed to the bargain when he realized that unless he did he would not have the treasure at all. About a week later at ten o ' clock they started to follow the directions of the talis- man. They soon got to the right place, and what a lonely place it was, and how the wind moaned through the trees, and how the chills crept up and down their spines! The next direction was to listen for the meow of a cat. They listened for a few minutes which seemed like hours to them. Soon, low and far away, they heard a faint meow of a cat, then all was still. Then it came again, and again, and again, louder and closer, louder and closer, until it seem- ed right under them. The next order was to watch the cat closely and where it touched the wall they were to strike with the talisman and that would open the door to the passage leading to the treasure room. As soon as the cat had gone they did this and behold the door did open. They lit a taper and went into the passage. Oh! how dark it was and how the taper flickered and sputtered! After traveling what seemed to them a long time they came to the treasure room which contained many earthern jars which were very heavy, so heavy that they could only carry two of them home. The people of the town were very much surprised when they found that these men had grown so rich. However, the secret was never let-out until the ribbon weaver lay on his death-bed. He told the story to his son. The Moor, however, had gone back to his native home in Algiers. Philip Devin, L-9. EVENING The sun sinks slowly in the west, The birds have taken time to rest. Their wings they fold, as clouds of gold Float slowly past their nests. The moon comes up o ' er waters blue. Then lovers stroll around and coo. The sandman comes to close small eyes. Evening comes and twilight dies. Irene Hebard, L-8-W. APOLLO He rises early in the morn, Up from the glowing east. And over the waving fields of corn He drives his laboring beasts. He never rests from morn till night. Except on dismal days. And then we know the beauty Of his ever searching rays. Jack Pahl. THE EDUCATION OF JERRY (Conclusion of Continued Story) Jerry Roberts felt the hot blood rushing to his cheeks. You had better let me go or there will be war, he said indignantly. But his kidnapper merely quietly explain- ed, Jerry, my son, I believe in learning by doing. You are a student in machinery and engineering. You may supervise my boat and this experience will be more valuable than many more hours spent in the class- room. Jerry could not help being sorry for this lonely old man, and besides he rather be- lieved the man. So knowing that resistance would be useless he submitted. After a few hours, a fog came up, one of those cold, thick, beastly fogs that Jerry had never known on his ranch out at Oro- ville. The ship became practically lost in the fog with an unexperienced steersman at the helm. Quick, Jerry, look at the light-house. Two short flashes and a long. That means we must pass on the other side of the Is- land. No, sir, Jerry was now cool and confident. I ' ve tramped all over this island and I ' ve never been confused yet, even if I don ' t know how to manage this ship. I am navigating this ship now, and we are going on this side of the light house. You fanatic! You cocky young sapling! I ' m not going on the rocks just for your fool notions. SIR, I AM IN CHARGE! If you die so do I. Go downstairs and keep still. Ten minutes elapsed and indeed they were the longest minutes that young Jerry ever endured. But he was right, for no crash came, and Jerry was acquitted. Quick! Back to San Francisco! We must get the government after the crooks who are planning to wreck the steamer with the Prince of Wales on board. The time made by that little boat rivals anything yet seen. The officials were in- formed and the plotters foiled. Jerry was a hero! And when he returned to his engin- eering class he found that his kidnapper was his professor who had been trying to get information as to Jerry ' s mettle. MY KETTLE MUSICIAN THE CITY A storm was raging out of doors; I sat alone in fear. The threatening roar of thunder Was all that I could hear. Then breaking through the madness This winter night was in, I heard the silvery music Of a tiny violin. The music was like magic, Of soft and sweet romance, It gripped me with a longing- It held me in a trance. I searched the corner of the room From whence the music came, And unexpectedly I found. My search was not in vain. For there he was, that fiddler, Half hidden by the steam, As he stood upon the kettle spout And played his fairy dream. I know now I was dreaming But I love to think it true, To think he ventured from the spout. To play ' cause I was blue. Margaret Neilson, H-9. EASTER Many, many years ago, When Jesus died for all, And rose again on Easter morn To save us from the fall, Mary came unto the grave With perfume and lilies fair, And saw the stone was rolled away. But found her Lord not there. Two angels clad in shining white. Said to Mary, List, we pray. The one ye seek is risen. He lives again today. And so each Easter morning, Among the lilies white. We sing our praises to the Lord With glad hearts and faces bright, Margaret Christensen, H-9-B. LIMERICK I. A limerick I now have to write. They told me to do it last night, But a very bad daughter Knocked over the water, And the paper now is a sight. II. The paper is still pretty rough, But because the job ' s pretty tough, I hope you ' ll forget. That the paper got wet, And say that I ' ve done well enough. Forbes Laflin. There was a young fellow named Leary, Who worked very hard and was weary, Tho ' he is much leaner. We ' ll sure have some Gleaner, And his work with much aid was made cheery. Dorothy Lee. I hate the noisy city. Its smoke, and dust, and grime. I hate its mighty buildings, And all its awful crime. All night long, the baby That lives across the street, Is crying for its bottle. Such noise is not a treat. I yearn for lovely mountains. Which I will never get, As long as I ' m in cities. So I must just forget. Paul Maslin, Jr., H-9-K. PUNCTUATION A funny little man said this to me: I fell in a snow-drift in June said he I went to a ball game out in the sea I saw a jelly-fish float up in a tree I found some gum in a cup of tea I stirred my milk with a big brass key I opened my door on my bended knee I beg your pardon for this said he But ' tis true when told as it ought to be ' Tis a puzzle in punctuation you see. Submitted by Mary Crittenden, L-9-B. THE CROSS WORD FAN A pencil and a dictionary, Bring them here to me. And also bring that newspaper For cross word puzzle glee. First you try for one across. Or maybe you ' ll try two. And then you try the downward way. Just as you like to do. Then you keep on trying. Till you get all that you can, And then I guess you leave it For some other cross word fan. Matilda MacCaughey, H-8-7. POEMS A poem was the assignment. In our class the other night, And we brought them into English, But, Oh Dear! What a sight. If you would call us poets, Then what would Hawthorne be ? He ' d sure be called a genius. As far as I can see. Some poems were of flowers. And others of the sea, But none were so unpoetical, As the one made up by me. Selma White, H-9. There was a young person of Reading, Who was hailed into court when caught speeding, Said the judge, No more talk! For the present you ' ll walk. Ham and eggs are the gas you ' ll be needing. Once there was a very bright class But they talked out loud, alas. And when teacher was away They always would play And not one of them ever did pass. Rosalie Ryan, H-7.

GARFIELD ORCHESTRA THE GARFIELD BAND In the past few years the Garfield Or- chestra has grown rapidly. We now have in our string section: nine first violins, nine second violins, a viola, four ' cellos, two double basses and two pianists. The brass- wind section consists of four cornets, one trombone, a baritone and two horns. The wood-wind section is made up of one flute, and three clarinets, and our percussion de- partment contains a set of traps and bells. So far this term we have played twice, at an assembly and at a Parent-Teacher ' s entertainment. We practiced hard for the Music Festival at which we played. We have had fine music this term. Some of the selections were: Overture Mignonette, by Baumann; Valse Espanole, by Laenger; Dance of the Goblins, by Engelmann; United Liberty March, by Losey; and March Victorious Legions, by Eeredy. Under the directorship of Mr. Haydon we have tried to make a good showing. I, myself, certainly shall regret having to leave the orchestra. Ethel Jenkins. THE BOYS ' GLEE CLUB During the past semester the Boys ' Glee Club has taken an active part in student affairs. It has been put on a strictly busi- ness basis and a set of rules have been drafted and officers have been elected. Ken- neth Young was chosen president and John Leary, secretary and treasurer. Among the entertainments in which the club participated were three evening pro- grams given at Garfield, one given at the Berkeley High School during music week, and one at the Elks ' Club. The work was supervised by Mrs. Iva Smith. Also a very enjoyable dance was held at Saranap. This opportunity was made possible through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Condon. Each and every one pronounced the evening the best ever. The Glee Club work finished with the Commencement exercises, after a very suc- cessful and enjoyable year ' s work. Edson Spitler. GARFIELD Garfield ' s pupils strong and bright. Always ready to work with their might. Royal, studious, and full of fun, Filled with joy when their work is done. In the mornings they ' re all on time, Every pupil in school by nine. Lots of work, lots of play, Deft and vigorous at the end of the day. George Parker. SCHOOL S is for study which everyone needs, C is for courage which helps you succeed, H is for honors we wish to earn there, 0 is for the object of being fair, 0 is for obstacles we all have met, L is for love of the knowledge we get. Helen Johnston, H-9-K. Every loyal Garfield student should be proud of the school band. Although many left who were in the high ninth grade last semester, new ones have joined, and under the able leadership of Mr. Haydon, our or- ganization has made a wonderful showmg. The band has already played on three occa- sions, the first being on Arbor Day. The whole school was going to march that day and be led by the band, but as it rained the band had to play on the stage in the audi- torium. The next time they playsd was on Library Day which was one of the most in- teresting features of the year. Tho band played the Zo March and the Ruby Red March, while the pupils marched across the stage with their interesting costumes. The third time they played was at one of the rallies. They played the Diana Overture. The boys in the band also performed on the week of May 17, which was music week. The program consisted of the march from the Verdi opera Aida and selections from The Bohemian Girl and Orpheus. All the bands and orchestras of the Berkeley Junior High Schools played that week and Garfield made a good showing, both in band and orchestra. Dale Sandifer. THE GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Girls ' Glee Club has been working hard this term. Besides singing at the Rallies they sang at the Music Festival. In Spain, The Elves, and The Two Clocks, were among the numbers which they sang at that performance. They, also, sing at the Commencement Exercises. GARFIELD There is a school in Berkeley, Which everyone knows well, It is the school called Garfield, As anyone can tell. For it ' s the school in Berkeley, The best that can be found. And to this very best of schools. The pupils all are bound. Each year in furious battles. The other schools we beat. And they crestfallen, home return. With tired lagging feet. This humble little poem With love I dedicate. To the school of all the schools in town. The school which none do hate. Miye Kasai, H-9. G. S. A.

It was only organized this last year but it has done much good work and we wish that we were going to stay at Garfield to watch it pro- gress. It has been a great success so far and it will get better in time. The teachers have taken a great interest in this organiza- tion and they have helped a great deal. The student officers and leaders have a good many things to do and most of them put their whole spirit into it. Watch your step and keep to the right is the password in Garfield ' s halls which most of you have probably learned through painful experience. What is hard for the teachers is naturally hard for pupils but when student leaders agreed to take up the responsibility of keeping order in the halls they knew that this would be the case. They knew that they had inexperience against them, but they hoped for the co-operation of the students. In this they were not dis- appointed. The few disciplinary cases which they were not able to handle individually were brought before the student cabinet and handled successfully. Garfield has many needs, is not alto- gether an original i emark, and soon it will not be a true one, for our Garfield Student Association is working to change it to Gar- field ' s needs are few. It is hard to build up a completely new organization and at the same time to improve the school, but we are doing it with the help of the teachers. We have done this in a material way and of course mentally. As to the material we have furnished the boys with gymnasium suits, balls, bats, handballs and other things. In return the boys have furnished us with white letters to put on our orange banner in the auditorium. Everyone, it is safe to say, knows that he or she has improved mentally during his or her stay at Garfield, and many of us have improved because of the new drill we have had in assuming dis- ciplinary responsibility. The Student Body is a real live -wire or- ganization. Several very enjoyable social aft ' airs and dances have been given and all have been well attended. The big event of the season was the Gleaner entertainment given on May 15th in the Auditorium which was a decided success in every way due to the co-operation of the Garfield students and the Garfield Parent-Teachers ' Associa- tion. Many gave their time and talent to make it a success. Our principal having taught school in Wisconsin has doubtless seen a good many fine schools, but we are sure that he has never seen as good a Student Body Associa- tion as we have organized.

COOLIDGE ' S INAUGURAL ADDRESS The pupils of the Garfield Junior High School were very fortunate to hear the inaugural address of President Coolidge on March 4, 1925. There were some of the best obtainable radios in several of the rooms so that the whole school would have a chance to hear the address well. The inaugural addre ss was the first one ever broadcasted by radio. The announcing was very plain and before the address was given, the announcer described the buildings and told about the weather. Another thing that made it interesting was the fact that the announcer told just what the president and his family were doing . Lois Robinson, H-9-M One of the points on which Mr. Coolidge spoke was Law Obedience. He said, In a republic, the first rule for guidance to the citizen is obedience to law. Another point was Economy. He said that he favored the policy of economy, not because he wished to save money, but people. The last point of his speech was very good. It was, America seeks no earthly empire built on force and blood . . . The legions which she sends forth are armed, not with the sword, but with the cross. ..She cherishes no purposes save to merit the favor of the Almighty God. June Lundin. THE MARINE BAND When we heard the President ' s Inaug- ural Address, we were especially favored by selections from the Marine Band. The music was wonderful! One could tell that there was a great deal of feeling and zeal on the part of the musicians. Most selections that they played were old favorites such as: When You and I were Young Maggie and The Columbia March. But the best of all was Hail to the Chief which was played as the president advanced. We could shut our eyes and see our noble president advancing with every eye bent upon him. We could even feel the thrill, the intense excitement that made every heart tingle in that grand audience. We could feel the President ' s intense emotions as he took his stand to address an audience larger than the world has ever known! For, though there were thousands watching and hearing, there were millions hearing though not seeing. After the inauguration was over, the band played again for us, which gave a wonderful ending to the whole program. Margaret Thunen, L-9-G LINCOLN ' S BIRTHDAY On Lincoln ' s birthday in the Garfield auditorium a very interesting program was given. In memory of Lincoln the whole school had learned Lincoln ' s Gettysburg address, which was recited very well. We also had two speakers, one of whom was a Civil War Veteran, Mr. Beach. He gave a very nice talk about Lincoln and the Civil War. Mr. Van Leer also spoke upon a similar subject. A number of songs were sung by the school and the yell leader was called upon to cheer the two speakers. The orchestra gave several selections in honor of Lincoln. Mrs. Smith ' s high eighth class led the school in the address, because her clas s knew it perfectly. The program was so interesting that Mr. Hennessey declared that the only way it could end was by sing- ing The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which we sang. PRAISES SCHOOL PROGRAM As a visitor to the Garfield School during the Lincoln Day exercises of the eleventh, I wish to express my appre- ciation of the commendable character and conduct of the program of the day. The various numbers were appropriate to the occasion, had been judicially select- ed, and their faultless rendition completed a noteworthy demonstration of patriotic education. Principal Hennessey and his teachers, as well as the students and com- munity that the school represents, may be well proud of it. The splendid con- ception to have the entire school memorize Lincoln ' s Gettysburg address and to recite it in unison, resulted in furnishing the outstanding feature of the occasion. The recital was a marvelous example of effi- ciency; its eff ect being that of a single distinct, well modulated voice-expression in itself, and in what it implied as an utterance of the representatives of a gener- ation that will soon be called to administer our country ' s affairs. Its success depends on a union of painstaking management and co-operation of teachers and students that deserves public i-ecognition. I take pleasure in offering this tribute to it through the columns of the Gazette: — Jay Beach. THE PAINT BRUSH As I sit by the window, And watch the setting sun, I wonder whose magic paint brush This wonderful work has done, For a crimson blends into golden, A golden melts into blue, And who, but a wonderful Creator, The wonderful work could do? And then it seems but an instant, The gold has melted away, The crimson has turned a dull purple, And the sky is a silvery gray. What genius holds this paint brush. What magic controls this array. That makes such a gorgeous splendor. Of changing night into day? Elsie Neilson. LIBRARY DAY Library Day, the main event of the spring- semester, was successful as Garfield activi- ties always are. The main purpose of this day was to raise funds for the library. This was more than realized I may say, for we obtained $246.18. A book order of seventy-five dollars was received from Mr. Lester W. Hink, a mem- ber of the Board of Education. Two hang- ing ferns were donated by Mr. Zimmerman ' s high ninth class, also many books were given to the library. Perhaps you wonder why these much ap- preciated gifts were given. I will tell you. At twelve o ' clock a very enjoyable lunch- eon was given under the auspices of the Garfield P. T. A. At quarter past one, parents, teachers and children congregated in the auditorium to observe the five numbers given by the diff erent classes. Upon entering we were met with the booming tune of the Zo March which was being played with much enthusiasm by the Garfield school band. Following this the curtain was pulled and we beheld with wondering eyes the scenery for the Mother Goose Pantomime, which was read by Miss Patton. Scenes from the Pied Piper were next shown by Mrs. Archer. These were made more realistic by appropriate costumes. The next number brought us back to the days of fairy revelry, when we watched the Peter Pan Fantasie. It gave us great pleasure to have the characters from Shakespeare ' s works im- personated, all of which were done very successfully. The last performance, The Twelve Danc- ing Princesses, was a very charming pict- ure with its soft lights, beautiful costumes, pretty scenery, and delightfully dreamy music. Usually on Library Day one of the main features of the program is the marching, in costume, out on the grounds. Because it was raining, Mr. Hennessey asked us to march across the stage one by one to the tune of Our Heroes rendered by the band. Awarding the prizes was indeed a hard task for the judges, Mrs Beatrice Wilmans, Miss Z. Kidder, and Miss Margaret Douglas, but was successfully done when they were given to Lawson Butler, Lucy Larson, Delia Fisher, Eleanor Leavens, Dorothy Newcomb, Ruth Kelly, Virginia Knight, Barbara Brock, and Rosemary Parsons. The classes or groups that won prizes were Peter Pan given by Mrs. 1. Smith, The Covered Wagon, the participants being of Miss Grover ' s class, and Well ' s Outline of History shown by Miss Riley ' s class. After awarding the prizes which were books, a dance was held in the gymnasium under the able auspices of the Student Body Association. Ardath Busby, L-8-W. DING, DONG, BELL Ding, Dong, bell. The late ones hear the knell. They hurry up their paces But the door slams in their faces. So they vow next day to beat the ding, dong, bell. Albert Horn, L-7. A FRIDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT On the evening of Friday, March 6, the auditorium was more than filled with anx- ious spectators waiting for the program to start. The audience was favored with several selections by the school orchestra. The curtains were then drawn back and the happy throng beheld a very business-like looking young man. A second look told them that it was none other than Paul Elliot reading his evening paper. Presently a strange, clopping sound was heard and there appeared on the stage the figure of what seemed to be a girl clad in the garments of a German servant. She handed a letter to the young man and immediately left the stage. We soon found that the young man was an actor who needed some- one to play opposite him. He decided to try this German maid. During the re- hearsal of the parts they were going to take, many comical remarks were made by the German servant. She finally turned out to be a famous actress who was just playing a part. All through the play from beginning to end the audience was in an uproar. The part of the German servant was taken by Miss Frances Branch. A jazz orchestra gave a few selections and the evening was finished with moving pictures. The whole program was very comical and was enjoyed by all. Beryl Kechely, L-9-G THE TREE PLANTING EXERCISES One day in February we had exercises for The Planting of Our Trees. Mr. Godfrey from the park department and Mrs. Waldo and Mrs. Condon of the P. T. A. spoke to us about the care of trees and their value. Several selections were played by our band. Every class participated in the exercises by giving a quotation about trees. All these things made the program most interesting. We had planned to plant the trees having the band lead us in a parade, but the day happened to be a rainy one, so it was impossible to have this parade. The trees were planted but there were not a great number to watch the ceremony. The trees were not only planted on the school grounds but also across the street on other people ' s property. These people offered to care for the trees. When the trees are large I know it will greatly improve the looks of our grounds. Miriam Colson, L-9-B. THE ASSEMBLY OF MARCH 12, 1925 The assembly of March 12, 1925, was held in order to award block G ' s to the boys and girls who had earned them during the term by their athletic prowess in basket- ball. During the assembly we were favored with a vocal solo by Henry Whaley, an alumnus of Garfi.eld, and selections by the Garfield Band and Glee Club. The G ' s were given out by Mr. Cortel- you of the A. S. U. C. and Lowell and New- ell (Snookie) Mell, famous University of California football players. As all three of the young men are alumni of Garfield, Mr. Hennessey related one or more humorous incidents about them while they were in Garfield. Lawrence Kearney L-9-G. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION In its work this year the Garfield Par- ent — Teacher Association has had in mind two things — the PLAYGROUND and RECREATION. Sixty-eight trees have been planted, and an earnest endeavor has been made by l:e mothers to continue the paving of Grant to Berryman, and Berryman to Josephine Streets, which we think will be successful. Early in the term we purchased a MOTION PICTURE SCREEN and we have given numerous entertainments which have provided wholesome recreation for not only the boys and girls of Garfield — but the fathers and mothers as well. In all our efforts we have had the splendid co-operation of the school faculty and all those interested in Garfield school, and we wish to extend our sincere thanks for the help which was at all times so cheerfully given. Very sincerely, Mrs. C. E. Condon, President. MYTH BOOKS For ten years Garfield has had myth books. The idea of these myth books was, and still is, to illustrate not only the various Roman and Greek gods and goddesses, but also anything pertaining in any way to them. The work of obtaining the pictures is not difficult. It is entirely research work. The teachers have been very lenient and have asked us for only thirty-five pictures in the whole book. There are in these books four chapters. They are, first, Divinities of the Heavens; second. Divinities of the Earth; third. Divinities of the Waters and the Underworld; fourth. Commercialized Myth- ology, Literary Allusions, or a Miscellan- eous chapter. The price of the book is not great. The paper is furnished for us at a very low price and there is no other cost, except the cover and binding. Last term the books were very beautiful, outside as well as inside. Although you must work very hard, I think that no one should miss the fun of making one of these delightful books. All through Garfield I have looked forward to making my myth book, half dreading it. After all, however, it is worth while, because aside from the fact that Mrs. Gray has promised us a big bonus, we cannot easily forget these interesting facts after we have illustrated them. Theodosia Stephens, H-9-X THE KITE TOURNAMENT In March, Mr. Flanders and Mr. Leland held a kite tournament. It was held down on the ball fields. The prizes were a hard baseball and a good baseball bat. The prizes were awarded to the boys who could get out the most string in thirty seconds. The contestants were divided into groups of fours. The winners of these groups flew their kites together. Billy Abbott won the first prize, William Wingate won the second prize. .Jim Erskins was third and Norman Ritchie was fourth. John Linscott. OUR RADIO CLUB The Radio Club is not only educational but it is interesting as well. The work of the club consists first of studying electrical terms. This work is taken up by the club and after a member gives a report on a term we have a general discussion. Then, we discuss the construction of radio sets and some of the members make sets. We have code practice in which one member sends code and the rest receive. The test is to see who can receive the message correctly. One of the useful things that the club does is to erect aerials and to install sets in the homes of invalids. This enables them to get in touch with such topics and music as are necessary to keep them in good spirits while convales- cing. We made a visit to KGO and went through the studios. First they took us to the control room where they change controls from one place to another, such as from the St. Francis Hotel to the K. G. 0. studios. In this room they also had a large set to listen for S. 0. S. calls from ships. When we left this room we went into a small room where the Arion Trio was getting ready to broadcast. This room is used only for small groups. We were then taken into a large studio where we were told that orchestras, glee clubs, and so forth, broadcast. They had several waiting rooms where the people wait for their turns on the program. In each of these rooms there was a set to en- tertain the people waiting. In order that the students and teachers might hear the President ' s inaugural ad- dress, the Radio Club erected several aerials, and with the co-operation of the student body and friends of the school, the club installed eleven radio sets. The school was divided into small assemblies so that they might hear more distinctly. It is said that on that day of March 4, 1925, twenty million people listened to the President ' s speech. One of the greatest projects in view is the securing of a set for school use. Such a set could be used in history for historical talks, in music practically all the time, and for all educational talks. It is predicted on good authority that in the near future a school without a radio will be a back number and that it will lose all of the good infor- mation that will be broadcasted. What do you say? Let ' s have one. Dwight Sandifur, H-9-M. THE GIRL SCOUTS OF GARFIELD The Girl Scouts of Garfield School have this term done many interesting things. The scout meetings are held on Tuesdays and every now and then some patrol gives the others a supper, consisting of ' ' wienies and salad. A few weeks ago a banquet was held at Garfield and badges w re presented to many of the scouts. Hikes have been held and swims were enjoyed at Piedmont Baths. We hope that our troop will become as large as some of the Boy Scouts ' troops and that we may be able to help others as much as thev do. Martha Kruschke, L-9-G G. S. A. CABINET REPRESENTATIVES HOW ABOUT IT GERRY ? MY SHADOW Now students if you wish to eat, Your candy on the grounds outside, You boys and girls must be more neat, Don ' t scatter papers far and wide. The way this room looks is a shame, There ' s paper under every seat. You careless boys are most to blame, And girls your sides are not a treat. If this work isn ' t stopped at once The candy won ' t be sold at all. Except to those who buy their lunch, And eat it in the dining hall. This absolutely is the last Time I will speak to you of this; I ' ve been too lenient in the past. Are there announcements ? You ' re dismissed. William F. Ajello, H-9-H. (With apologies to Robert Louis Stevenson and the Garfield Student Leaders). There is a student leader that goes all around with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He ' s very, very strict with me from morning until night; And I see him step before me, as I come into his sight. One very rainy morning, ' twas nearly half past eight, I hurried up the slippery walk thinking I was late; But my lazy student leader, like an ardent sleepy head. Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed. Theodosia Stephens, H-9-B. Eleanor Howell, H-9-B. G. S. A. STUDENT LEADERS REPAIRING MR. EDWARD ' S CHEVROLET ENGINE One of the class activities which is of particular interest is the repairing of Mr. Erward ' s Chevrolet engine down in the shop. There are fifteen mechanics working- on it at different times. Some time ago the engine was brought to the school through arrangements made by Mr. Leland. Upon its arrival it was taken apart by one group and cleaned by another group. The work of fitting in new pins was started by still another group. When this work was finished the cylinders were ready for lapping into the block. Lapping was necessary because the pistons were over- size. As we did not have the proper ma- chinery for doing this work, it had to be done by hand. At first it was a very awk- ward and hard process which was done by the pulling up and down of a handle. It greatly resembled the actions through which the wash-woman goes. This was, however, made easier by the ingenuity of Mr. Flan- ders who made a contrivance so that it was operated by a lever which was easily pump- ed up and down. It lessened the energ-y needed to operate it so that a person did not get so tired. One person steered this contrivance by hand as before and another pumped the lever. The work is all finished now and we are starting to assemble the engine. Melville Holmes. THE CONTEST AT JUNIOR HI-Y The Junior Hi-Y which holds its meet- ings on every Tuesday night at six o ' clock at the Y. M. C. A. building, had an attend- ance contest which began on March the tenth and lasted until April the seventh. Every body paid a nickel tax and the school which won received an extra dessert. Edison was the lucky one but Garfield was second, with about sixty points less than Edison. Stuart Rose. Thursday April 23, Garfield School had a drive for jams and jellies, for the Liver- more Hospital, where the wounded and dis- abled soldiers stay. These men were very happy to receive anything that would cheer their dreary lives. They have adopted us and we are glad to do anything that will make them happier. Evelyn White.

THE SCOUT BANQUET On Friday evening, March thirteenth, in the Garfield School cafeteria, a banquet was held for the Boy Scouts who meet at the school. Mr. MacCaughey, who was toast- master, opened the banquet at seven o ' clock. The parents of the boys in the three troops 24, 22, 19, were their guests. The Scout- masters and Mr. Hennessey were also guests. All through the banquet we were enter- tained by boys from each troop in musical performances and other stunts. Mr. Rush- forth and Mr. Zimmermann put on a play, Romeo and Juliet. As a whole the pro- gram was a wonderful success. The ban- quet was sponsored by the P. T. A. and the mothers of the scouts. Edward Waterbury, L-9-G. BOY SCOUT BENEFIT Friday night, April 1, a Boy Scout benefit performance was given. The ad- mission was fifteen cents for children and twenty-five for adults. The name of the picture was, His Majesty the American featuring Douglas Fairbanks. I think everyone must have enjoyed the picture as it was exceedingly exciting and funny. Almost all the main floor of the auditorium was occupied. THE POET ' S CLUB In the L-9 X class of Garfield Junior High School there is a club called the Poet ' s Club. Every Fri day certain girls are picked out to read poems and tell the history of some poet. For instance, they have thus far told of Longfellow, Lowell, Whittier, Service and Kipling. The girls bring pictures of the poets and make the poems very interesting. Leanora Hamilton,L-9-X HELLO, PAPA!

OUR CLASS HISTORY Although Mr. Rushforth does not realize the fact at times, he is quite fortunate in having- an extremely intelligent aggregation with which to work. Our class has always prided itself on its pep and spirit, being one hundred per cent in Gleaner subscriptions and student body subscriptions. Our class won the soccer and speedball championships of the school and reached the semi-finals in passball. Martin Tierney, Bill Taylor, Ed Connelly, Ted Deran and John Leary were on the baseball team, while Martin Tierney made the boys ' bas- ketball team. Martin Tierney, Reynold Keith, Neil Southwick, Alan Hargrave and Sher- lock Hackley were on the track squad. Among the girls, Alicia Cooper, Dorothy Smith, Nancy Burnell, and Ellen Smith made the girls ' athletic teams. We have many m embers in the glee clubs and in the band, and also five members of our class are on the Gleaner staff. We hope before we leave Garfield to cure our worst habits and leave a class record behind us as a real one hundred per cent Garfield class. David Lyon. we organized and now have a true class spirit. At the beginning of the term we elected Jane Geisendorfer as president of our class, Mary Powers, vice-president, and Dorothy Newcomb, secretary. We chose Miriam Colson for our representative to the student association, Frances Loring and Marjorie Jordan, for our student leaders, Eleanor Ramstead for our Gleaner representative and Virginia King for our second Gleaner representative. Many members of our class have received distinctions in some way. Here are only a few: Ruth Kelly and Dorothy Newcomb won a prize Library Day. They repres- ented Topsy and Little Eva. Mary Powers won second prize in the thrift essay con- test. Florence Stuart and Evelyn Combs are captains of the baseball teams, and there are girls from our class in the orchestra and three in the Glee Club. Mary Powers, L-9 MISS MALLY ' S H-9 In Miss Mally ' s H-9 we find that over half the class are either prominent leaders in some school organizations or on one of the teams. There is Leila Peoples who is social secre- tary of the G. S. A. and also student leader. Edwina Putman is editor of the Gleaner, a member of the student cabinet and a student leader. Betty Wood is secretary of the G. S. A. and a student leader. On the Gleaner staff are Harry Malon, Laurance Maxson and Marvin Morgan. Other stu- dent representatives and leaders are Harold Pearson, Kathrene Cathcart, Edna Mayer and Barbara Davis. On the Basket Ball teams we had Lelia Peoples (captain of the unlimited team), Clara King, Naomi Farnsworth and Esther Stuart who re- ceived stars and Alice Schmit and Ruth Cawthorne who received G ' s. Earle Brock, Edna Mayer and Augusta Doell were on the hundred-fifteen pound team. MRS. BRENNAN ' S CLASS HISTORY Assembling for the first time on January 5, 1915 with Mrs. Brennan as teacher, our class began the work of a term which has proved most successful and interesting. We had come from different sections, where we had been for the past two years and our old classes and organizations had been divided. But with Mrs. Brennan ' s help LOW NINE B Miss Bonney ' s low nine class has twenty- five boys and eleven girls. At the begin- ning of the term our new class-mates seem- ed almost strangers, but we soon got ac- quainted. On Library Day our class represented a cross-word puzzle, spelling the words, Garfield Library Day. One of the boys in our room, Chester Silvas, has been absent through illness for a long time and we all hope he will soon be better and back at school. In the drive for Gleaner subscriptions we were one of the first classes to be a hundred per cent. I am sure that the happiest time during our two and one-half years at Garfield has been spent in Bungalow B. Dulcie Breininger, L-9 HISTORY OF MRS. GRAY ' S LOW NINE There are several very important people in Mrs. Gray ' s L-9 class of 1925. William Sills is the vice-president of the Student Body and also took part in Mrs. Gray ' s Shakespearian Review on Library Day. The Girls ' Athletic manager, Delia Fisher, is in our class and won the second prize on Library Day as John Silver. Eleanor Butler and Stuart Rose, our cab- inet representatives, acted in Mrs Gray ' s olay too, very successfully and Frances Branch took a leading part in the Mother Goose play. She has entertained the school many times by singing, or playing her musical saw. She and two other girls in our class are members of the Girls ' Glee Club. Besides these, many Gleaner officials are members of our room. They are as follows: Ted Merry, joke editor; Naida Gilmore, assistant joke editor; William Wilke, Stuart Rose, both are editors; Margaret Thunen, girls ' athletic editor and Martha Kruschke an assistant subscription manager. Our student leaders are Esther Shelley and Royal Wiseman. Our boys have been very successful this year in the athletic line and are at present wearing numerals for speed-ball, showing that they are champions in that game. We are all very proud of this and we hope that they will do as well in baseball which they surely will. The girls, although they tried hard, have not had such good luck in baseball but they are using the motto, Try, try again, which shows that they have the true Garfield spirit. Martha Kruschke Frances Branch Esther Shelley Eleanor Butler MISS RILEY ' S CLASS This term we have come to be quite suc- cessful as a unit. Our boys won numerals in basketball in the early season of 1925. There were two of our boys and two girls on the school Basketball team: Ruth Giles, Gladys Mangels, George Miller, Lawrence Colson representing us. They received G ' s and stars. On Library Day our class represented Wells ' Outline of History. We appeared in costumes from the Cave Man up to the modern school boy and girl. There were representatives in every age of the world We were accorded honorable mention and we received a copy of Jules Verne ' s Myster- ious Island which we are presenting to the library. AN INTERESTING SEMESTER Our boys ' speed-ball team won numerals after a hard struggle and many bruised shins. Now we are trying to get stars for the numerals in baseball. The girls base- ball team have tried hard to get numerals and it looks as though they may at their present rate. This semester our class officers are all girls except the boy student leader. The officers are: President, Nadine Rudledge, vice-president, Barbara Crump, treasurer, Mary Walker, (Mary Walker was also on the Garfield girl ' s basket-ball team), secre- tary, Catherine Miller, cabinet representa- tive Marion Cooledge, student leaders, Bar- bara and Carleton Peck. These officers are hard-working and earnest, the result being that our class was first to have one hundred percent Student-Body Membership and we all have subscribed for Gleaners. In March we went to see the California Relief Map in the San Francisco Ferry Building-. The class surely got more benefit from seeing the map than any amount of study could do, to give us an accurate idea of California. Also, we went to the Oakland Court-house and Hall of Records for civics. Some of our girls were in the entertain- ment on April 24. Several pupils are in track. Carleton Peck. H-8-K THE HISTORY OF MISS ERASER ' S CLASS Miss Fraser ' s advisory is a H8 Class. There are forty-two pupils in this advisory. Miss Eraser has the class for civics and we have had many interesting times together. One Friday we went to visit the Court House and the Hall of Records in Oakland, an interesting trip. Miss Wilson ' s Civics class, Miss Wilson and Mr. Zimmerman went with us. During the Easter vacation two members of our class went to Sacramento and visited the State Senate and the Assembly. When they returned they gave a good explanation of what they had seen and heard. In March we got a letter from Marie Jones, a girl in Florida, whose English assignment had been to write to soine one in California. Seven of our advisory an- swered it, telling her about Berkeley. One Saturday our class went on a skating party to Idora and had a very enjoyable time. During one advisory period we had a good class program. The officers elected in our class were: Gleaner representative, Elmer Kern; presi- dent, Tom Rhodes: vice president, Harry Bauer; secretary, Genevieve Gay; Gleaner reporter, Sylvia Stecher; student leaders, Drewanne Chidester and Fred Dellett. Sylvia Stecher, H8F. Genevieve Gay, H8F. THE LOW EIGHTS We have had a successful term at Gar- field this year, quite the most success- ful term we have had since we entered as low seven ' s. Our first team has worked hard, in base- ball, and with true school spirit this sem- ester, and we have been victorious in the majority of games. Our second team and girls ' team have not been as successful as the first team; however, they have done quite well. The class-work, we are sorry to own, has not been as marked as our athletics have been, but we are looking forward to a new semester, in which, we hope, a fresh start and more earnestness of purpose will increase the per cent of names on the Roll of Honor. We wish to thank our teachers for their co-operation and interest in our work, and we intend to improve so that they may see how greatly we appreciate their kind co- operation. We therefore hail the new term with a firmer determination to make good, than we have ever shown before. Betsy Ailing, L-8-P. CLASS ACTIVITIES OF L8W Miss Wilson ' s low eighth class has been very successful in all it has undertaken to do this term. The girls ' team in baseball have won all the games they have played. They have played twenty games and have thirty-six points which places them first in League B. The boys have not been so suc- cessful but hope to do better next term. Many of the girls participated in the Twelve Dancing Princesses given on Library Day. The class was also one hundred per cent in buying their Gleaners. HISTORY OF MISS HELWIG ' S CLASS At the first of the spring term scrub, and a return of high scrub, and a lot of other remarks were to be heard all over the school, but that is not class hi story. We are now in the high seventh grade of Garfield school and Miss Helwig is our advisor. We are rather a small class, there being seven girls and eleven boys. When we first came to Garfield we had a room down stairs with another group. Now we have a room by ourselves. Ever since we came to Garfield we have tried to be 100 per cent in banking, and with the help of Miss Helwig I am very proud to say we are 100 per cent in banking. There have been many interesting things this term. One which all Garfield remem- bers is that of Library Day, and our class took part with a lively spirit. Another event was the track meet. Of course, Garfield won. Two of our pupils. Bud Hanson and Evelyn White, were in the meet and both took first places. We have organized our class this sem- ester, and every one has something to do. Our president is Martella Wraith, our vice- president is William Perry, our class rep- resentative is Donald King and our student leaders are Ruth Brown and Jack Hoenes. We have a number of other officers who attend to matters of attendance, sanitary conditions of the room, locker inspection, and the beauty of our room. Altogether we have spent a delightfully happy year at Garfield and look forward to the coming semester with great pleasure. Dorothy Jayne. Donald King. Bud Hanson. CLASS HISTORY The H-7-W class of Room 12 have made a success in athletics this term and have enjoyed the activities of the Garfield school. Marjorie Solway. THE HISTORY OF MISS GROVER ' S CLASS August thirteenth was our first day at Garfield. We sat in the auditorium until we were assigned to our advisors. Our names were at the end of the list but we soon found that the last was not always the worst for we had Mrs. Kilkenny for our ad- visor. Sirkus day aroused much excitement among us for it was the first one in which we took part. For some of us it was the first Sirkus we had attended. Daniel Popper was on the Constitution Committee and we felt very proud of him, our first representative in school politics. How we searched the pages of the Gleaner for our names under a story, an article, a limerick or a joke. Those who found their names were proud; the disappointed ones congratulated the lucky ones. When we returned from our Christmas vacation Miss Grover was our teacher and we were glad to make her acquaintance. We entered into Library Day with zeal, and at the suggestion of one of the boys represented the Covered Wagon and won the second prize. Rosalie Ryan H-7-G. HISTORY OF OUR CLASS. Our class came to Garfield in the fall of 1924. We had Miss Abbay then, but now we have Mrs. Gavin. We have had a class of thirty-nine. Our first officers were, president. Warren Kinney, vice-president, Billie Hunter, and treasurer, Henry Dewell. That was during the first term of the stud- dent body. The second term the president was Dorothy Swan, vice-president, William Meyer, and treasurer, Henry Dewell. Every term our class has been one hundred per cent in the Gleaner and Student Body sub- scriptions. We think we have a very good class although we hope to make it much better in the future. William Meyer, H-7-G. CLASS HISTORY Low 7K. When we first came to Garfield we felt rather small and lonely in our class of six- teen pupils, but now we really feel that we are a part of the Garfield Student Body. Our class was one hundred per cent in buying student body cards, and in banking our weekly average is very high. We also have a remarkably high attendance record, and have had but one tardiness in the last three months. The boys had a fine speed-ball team, fin- ishing second in the league. All have shown a very good spirit in showing up at the games. We have in our class a very good watch- maker, Marvin Butts. He can fix all kinds of watches and clocks, and does his work well. We have had a very happy and profitable term and are looking forward to many more. Merton Williams. Irvine Schueller. LOW 7 R Mrs. Russ ' class of nineteen pupils has had a very happy time together this term. Mrs. Russ has been very busy with the Gleaner so we will be as glad as she will when it is published. The boys have been very successful in their athletics and have won many games. Some of the girls are on the track team. Next term we think we shall have more of our teacher ' s time and we hope to do many more interesting things. Elvera Carlman. THE WISE ONES The teachers think themselves great!

Stuart Rose, L-9 BASKETBALL TEAMS BOYS ' BASKET BALL Our last basket ball season was very successful, Garfield again coming out at the top of the league. Captain Ernest Rowland of the unlimiteds, led his men through eight games, winninr - seven of them. The team was made up of Ernie Rowland, Martin Tierney, Hans Mil- ler, Kenneth Young, Earl Springer, Stephen Gamble, Earl Pratt and John Ransome. The 115-pound team was captained by Les. Barhyte. Les ' s team played eleven games and won eight of them. His team consisted of Gerald Neasham, James Dealey Steven Knox, John White, James Luce, and Roger Scott. They are all good players, Jerry Neasham having played for Garfield last year. On the 105-pound team we had Robert Condon as captain. Bob ' s team, Frank Westphal, Alrik Soderman, George Miller Max Farrar, Laurance Colson, Kenneth Mi- ler and Arnold Lindquist, played eleven games and won nine. All through the basketball season the Student Body Association proved its value It was constantly urging the members to come out and root for their school teams We all know what effect this has on the players, and may attribute some of the school ' s success to its backing. The eighty-fives and ninety-fives had a very successful season. They won most of the games which they played. Our unlimiteds, hundred-fifteens, and hun- dred-fives played altogether ttwenty-nine games. Out of these twenty-nine they won twenty-three. Of course Garfield was for- tunate m having good material for teams, but, nevertheless, we must credit our coaches, captains and the fine Student Body u ? i? having been RIGHT 1 HERE. Paschal Longaker, L-9-B. FACULTY vs. GARFIELD 115-lb. CAGERS Thursday afternoon March 13, a world ' s championship basket ball game was plaved m the famous Garfield Gymnasium, when Garfield s hundred and fifteen pound team held a game with the faculty quintet. f P l ' Legs Barhyte was sup- ported by Cutey Neasham, ' Tope Learv, Battling ' Knox and Jim Dealey.

After a very rough and exciting game in which the hundred and fifteen pound team was ahead until the very last minute of play, the faculty won by the score of 18 to 14. GARFIELD GIRLS PLAY EDISON February 10, 1925, the hundred-five and hundred-fifteen pound girls ' teams of the Garfield Junior High School went to Edison to play the first game of the season. The teams were in the Berkeley Junior High School League. Both teams had an equal number of rooters, so that gave them no headway. The Edison hundred-five ' s defeated the Garfield hundred-five ' s, fifteen to seventeen; but the Garf.eld hundred-fifteen ' s defeated the op- posing team by a score of seventeen to eleven, thus making up for the loss. Delia Fisher, L-9-G THE ATHLETIC RALLY An athletic rally was held in the audi- torium, Thursday, March twelfth. Ray- mond Cortelyou, graduate athletic manager of the University of California, and Charles and Lowell Mell, members of the Bruin foot-ball team, were the guests of honor. All three were former students of Garfield. Mr. Hennessey and the Mell brothers ex- changed reminiscences of former days, much to delight of the audience. As a reward for Garfield ' s winning the basket-ball championship, the presentation of a third banner was made by President Gerald Neasham on behalf of the student body. Bouquets were presented to Miss Stout and Miss Nombalais in recognition of their successful work as coaches of the girls teams. Members of the Garfield teams received their block G ' s amidst the cheers of the student body. Henry Whaley, a Garfield alumnus, sang two solos, accompanied by Miss Mabelle Wilson, and several musical selections were given by the band, and the joint boys and girls glee clubs. William Wentworth, L-9-B BASEBALL Garfield started off the season in com- petition with Richmond at Garfield. Though still in practice the team played fast ball behind Tierney, who allowed but two hits. The Richmond twirler was charged with five hits. By an error and a hit we lost to Richmond 2 to 1. Willard and Burbank were trounced un- der a barrage of hits and superior pitching by Irish Tierney, Rowland and Crowe Peacock. The team hit heavily and the scores were all one-sided. In the second clash with Richmond, at Richmond, the Garfield ball team emerged victorious by 1 to 0. Tierney and the Rich- mond southpaw engaged in another duel, Tierney scoring the winning run. Edison competition was keen. They pos- sessed a steady team, well-matched with Garfield. The first game was in their favor until the sixth inning, when a rally was start- ed by Rowland. It came to a climax after eleven hits. The game ended 9 to 4. The BASEBALL TEAM Kenneth Young, Ted Deran, Wm. Taylor, Edw. Connelly, Earl Springer, Otellio Massucco. Jim Dealy.

John Leary. GARFIELD vs. MILPITAS HIGH Then up came Martin Tierney, The captain of our team, The other guys were frightened And started in to scream. He swung his bat right fiercely And hit the first one out, Right into the left field bleachers For a pretty four-base clout. Our men, they held a rally, And runs, they gathered eight, They also ran around the bags Like a dashing, east-bound freight. They couldn ' t stop the slaughter And called on Johnny Stout, Who stepped into the pitcher ' s box And fanned three batters out. Alvin McKellighan, H-9-K. NOON SPEED BALL LEAGUES Following vacation we returned to school and started playing speed ball. The boys separated into five leagues according to ages, sizes and grades. The leagues each had six teams and each team played thir- teen games. The teams were refereed by boys that were not playing at the time. Every day there were at least eight games going on at once. The names of the teams were those of their respective advisors. The Rushforth team was the winner in Class A, winning eight games, tieing three and losing two with a total of thirty-eight points. Class B division was won by Mrs. Gray ' s advisory with fifty points, winning eleven games, tiemg three and losing one. Class C was won by Miss Kelton ' s advisory with thirty- four points which won eight, lost one and tied one. Class D was won by Mrs. Gavin ' s advisory which won nine, tied four and lost none, making forty-four points. Mrs. Tur- ner ' s advisory walked away with Class E winning eight, losing one and tieing four, and finishing with forty points. The winning teams were awarded their numerals, or stars if they had previously won numerals. Sherlock Hackley, H-9-R. THE TRACK MEET _ Another year, another track meet, anotner victory for Garfield. For the fourth time in succession the highest score has come to our school. This year Garfield won by more than one hundred points, the score being: Garfield, 295K , Willard, 194 Edison 173, and Burbank 83. Fourteen new records were made this year, eight of which were made by Garfield students BASEBALL TEAM Vivian Best, Henrietta Jacobs, Mary Charles, Margaret Christenson, Theodosia Stevens, Dorothy Lean, Eleanor Howell, Ella Dragon, Jean Patty, Hilka Rinne, Doris Baird, Barbara Crump, Juanita Parks, Dorothy Mitchell, Catherine Miller, Maxine Swift, Sarah Berry, Jean Jacobs, Kathleen Carrier, Elizabeth Paul, Mary Walker, Nina Standish, Janice Lowe, Harriett Wilcox, Marion Coolidge, Fern Springer, Irene Hebard, Isabella Banning. We had a very pretty stunt. All the girls that possibly could, wore white middies and skirts. There, on the bleachers, they made a large G. The girls in the top part of the G wore white caps and the girls in the lower part of it wore orange caps and orange fronts. It showed up very plainly. When all waved their shakers back and forth it was a very pretty sight. Our splendid victory is due to two things, first to the efficiency of our coaches and second, to the wonderful school spirit.

We will know that Garfield has again Won the game from old Edison. Robert Condon. A lady went to Switzerland, To see the jungles there; She travelled down to Africa, The ice-bergs she would dare ; Siberia was visited. She sought an orange tree; I think she was a little mixed In her geography! Jane Eshlemen, IJ-8-S. Track men must be true. Rooters are also needed. Always the rules are heeded.
