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.

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!

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
