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.
