ZIMMERMAN ' S ADVISORY c, « 56 3( 5c. ?5S Melode, queen of Athens, was weeping — weeping over the biers of her four dead hero sons. The king stood sadly by, the courtiers all were sorrowful, but the mother ' s grief seemed more than she could bear. For seven days she had sat thus, and the roses had faded from her cheeks, and her rich brown hair was streaked with gray. Her heart was very bitter toward Eros, goddess of discord, because she, dis- pleased by the happy home life of King Socliones, Queen Melode, and the young princes, had appeared to the latter in the form of a youth, and stirred them to re- marking scornfully that there were no Fates. The wicked goddess was well satis- fied, for the Fates, naturally much incensed, had cut the life threads of the Athen- ian princes short. Hence Melode wailed. Something must be done at oncel thundered Jupiter, shaking the earth with a stamp of the mighty foot. At once! echoed Juno. They were such wise men, and oh, so strong, lamented Mars and Minerva in a breath. Their home life was so cheerful, this from Vesta. Melode was a maid after my own heart, though I do not favor marriage for anyone, declared Diana the chaste. We have already raised the Athenian hero-princes to be demigods, growled Jove, Minerva, my daughter, what remains to be done? One could have heard the slightest sound on Mount Olympus as the gods were silent to let Minerva cast her torch of inspiration on her stores of wisdom, so that it would point out to her the idea she sought. At last, A daughter! she shouted. Bah! this was the War God, a son is better. Diana objected, Men are so stupid. Except Endymion, put in Venus rather maliciously. Apollo chuckled, and composed a song. Each endow her with one gift, dictated Wisdom, and her especial pro- tectress shall be Diana. The queen rejoiced, the king was in transports of joy, the whole of Athens beamed. The queen all but forgot her grief in caring for the young babe. Every day the little one grew wiser and stronger and more beautiful, passing from infancy to childhood, from childhood to virginity. She was a demi-goddess of the earth, and the most beloved of all Cynthia ' s nymphs. She was as near Aphrodite ' s pulchri- tudinal perfection as one of earth could be, with a coil of almost black hair, and a tiny crescent on her forehead where Artemis had kissed her at birth. She had gifts EROS OR DIANA? of all sorts; musical genius, wisdom and justice, strength and health. All the divin- ities had contributed to her store save Eros, and when Diana had left her seat in the council chamber to take her place in the heavens, he had said that his gift would come later! Ever morn and eve Artemisia (as she was called after her godmother) would go to the forest, and dance with the nymphs. The rest of the day she spent with Melode and Socliones, and was the very apple of their eye. One da} , going to the forest as usual, she was astonished to see all the gods appear before her. Juno began, Artemisia, daughter beloved of the gods, as a half-deity you are to adopt a creature to be sacred to you, and its patroness will be your friend and protector. The deities began to clamor loudly, Choose the peacock, the dove, the ox. Miner ' a and Cynthia alone were silent, the former looking at her from steel- gray eyes which seemed to say Remember your duty, Cynthia regarding her with a half A; istful, half expectant gaze. Eros was pleading, with rosy arms outstretched, Artemisia, daughter of the gods, choose love, love, love. She caught herself — she had nearly chosen his emblem! 0 divines, quoth Artemisia, the honor is great. -Allow me till the retiring of Phoebus tomorrow and I will be ready. Yes, we will wait, said Juno. That night the maiden ' s sleep was fitful and broken, for wondering who, who, who to choose, Diana or Eros — Duty or Love — she was asleep. While wrapped in Somnus ' robe, Cupid appeared. I have solved it, this exultantly, choose the hind. Thus you shall show your gratitude to your patroness, and yet serve me. How? You shall see. She opened her eyes, saw no Eros, and would have deemed the occurence an idle dream, had she not found a ros ' -tipped arrow on the coverlet. When her attend- ants were looking away, she, with a sudden sentimental emotion which she knew virginal Phoebe would censure severely, thrust it in the bosom of her tunic. O gods, I have decided that not to choose the godmother and protectress of my life would be most ungrateful. I know you will approve. With a sudden graceful movement she flung her gold girdle about the neck of the hind. The gods, having praised her for her able and unoffending choice, departed, all except Cupid, who remained invisible, hovering in the shape of a gnarled old oak. As Artemisia sat there, her arm was thrown about the hind. She had not be- fore noticed that it was so beautiful, with its creamy skin and velvety brown eyes. An arrow whizzed through the air. Artemisia, with a horrified exclamation, pulled it from the deer ' s soft hide, and was greatly surprised to find it tipped with rose- color. .Ah-ha, Cupid, she remarked, you are getting a worse shot every day, though I did have a narrow escape. The hinds gentle eyes seemed to be pleading with her. She gently kissed one of its small antlers. Eros brushed against her, and the arrow hid m her timic was pressed into her breast. It, however, gave her no pain, only a rosy, dreamy, deHcious feeling. She put out her sleek, white arms to embrace the deer, and found herself in the arms of the youth Lucydides, changed to a hind because he had aided one of Artemis ' nymphs to marry one of his friends. He had been rescued by the pure, innocent love of the chaste one ' s favorite. Selene, from above, found, to her sorrow, that Eros is not to be restrained, while Eros flew away with a satisfied feeling of work well done. Phyllis Preston, H9. MY SURPRISING DREAM As I was walking through the deep woods, one bright, sunny day, I heard a faint, crackling noise. I looked back of me and turned around three times, but saw nothing. Finally, looking down, I saw a large oak leaf lying on the ground. Some one seemed to be under it tn, ' ing to lift it up vdih short, little pushes. I lifted the leaf up and there I saw, stabbing it wath a stiff, sharp needle from a tree, a ver ' small fairy. He was no taller than a pansy. His eyes were blue, his nose was long and red, and his suit was of autumn brown. As soon as I lifted the leaf, he gave a little squeal, which caused another fairy to slip from behind a tree where he had been hiding, and hand in hand they ran down the flower and moss embedded path. I was just about to run after them, when I awoke and the birds were singing happily to the rising sun. Maybelle De Bois, L7. THE SOLDIER A soldier lay suffering all alone. He ' d a wounded arm and a broken bone. His face was white as a ghost ' s would be. And blackness seemed to be all he could see. He laughed as he stood before grim Death, And began to think of his sweetheart, Beth. A tear rolled down his white, white face. Then he seemed to fall into black, black space. He opened his eyes and it was light. But, what was that which glowed so bright? ' Twas a flag, his flag, the red. white, and blue That sailed on the breeze with brilliant hue. A happy sigh; the battle was won. And he closed his eyes — his da} ' was done. Elinor Ford, H8. A SHADY NOOK It was a beautiful little spot, hidden from view by tall, large hemlocks. It was near our woods and a little brook ran by it. The needles had fallen from the trees and made the most velvety carpet. Right in the center of this beautiful nook was a little spring. It was so clear that it looked like a bubbling bowl of crystal. Right by this little mirror was the largest and oldest hemlock, kno Mi to us as The Giant Hemlock. It spread its long, gigantic roots around the little spring, as if to pro- tect its loveliness. I don ' t think that anything in this world could be more beautiful than to lie on the needles, and watch the gentle breeze softly sway the branches, and listen to the gurgling of the brook. ' May Wilton, H7. MY HOLY GRAIL When Sir Launfal started out it was the spring of the year and of his life. It is spring again! T ' is another knight that is starting in search of the Holy Grail. I am starting out in search of my Holy Grail. My Holy Grail is to be a successful banker. It will be a long, hard search and to succeed I must work, and work hard. The spring of the year is here and it makes one feel like work. It is one of God ' s ways of helping. There is a s aying that a successful banker is composed of about one-fifth accountant, two-fifths lawyer, three-fifths political economist, and four-fifths gentleman and scholar — total ten-fifths, double size. Any smaller person may be a pawnbroker or a promoter but not a banker. I must train myself while I am young and make armor that has twice as much strength as the usual armor. I am making my armor out of the richest and purest gold I can find. The helmet of my armor is to be strength to do what is right. The sword, bravery. The chains in my coat of mail are to be made up of honesty, kind- ness, generosity, courtesy, thriftiness and cleanliness. The spurs are to be made of cheerfulness, to spur me on. My surcoat is to be education. To make my surcoat I must study hard now, in high school, in college, and in the bank. Will I be a successful banker? Ah! I hop e so. But hope will not put me there. Work will. If I find, as Sir Launfal did, that my armor is not made out of pure metal I will change it as he did. Every day, with my armor, I plan to conquer some hard lesson to win the Castle of Education. Time must not discourage me. I must not give up hope. I will point to the successful banker and say, He did it; I ' ll do it too. It is m} ' firm belief that if I keep my armor bright and never let it get rusty, I will be a successful banker and leave the earth better than I found it. Roy Stephens, H8. BARREN LAND You said I should love the desert And revel in its vastness But my heart from all your desert bonds is free. I long for paths and woodlands. For vine-clad, trellised gardens, For rocks and sky and winds and shore and sea. You are so gray and silent — Your sharp and rugged mountains. Your lines are harsh and quick and wrong; my hills would never be. They dip in laughing dimples Of shadowed blue and purple, And roll between their valleys to the sands beside the sea. Your deserts are so sombre — So still — and non-responding, I beat light wings against my bars; oh, this captivity! No mists to soften hard, bold lines This blinding, brilliant sunlight — I thirst for wind-dipped sails, the foam- whipped, gray, gray sea! Betsy Alling, L9. THE SCARLET CLOAK In the audience court, had assembled the king and his wise men. The king shook his head sadly. Then he spoke. ' Tt is of no use. I cannot cure him of his selfishness. It will take a greater power, far greater than mine. All the wise men and courtiers shook their head and looked gloomily at the boy who stood pouting by the window. x s if in answer the boy shouted: ' T want the scarlet cloak and I shall have it! The prince stamped his velvet clad foot as a symbol of his defiance. But, my dear prince, it is the cloak of the dead prophet. If I cannot have it, I shall go home tomorrow! screamed the wayward, self- ish prince. Very well, you may have it, replied the king, but you shall start home to- morrow. You have been a constant worry to me. That night the king sent for the prince. Handing him a beautiful scarlet cloak with gold trimmings he said, This is the cloak you have asked for. It belonged to the dead prophet. Heretofore, no one has ever worn it. Now I am giving it to you in the hope that it may do you much good. The haughty prince draped the gorgeous cape about him and stalked out of the room, without thanking his uncle for the lovely gift. The next day the prince set out for his own home which was leagues away. Ten soldiers and twenty knights rode away with him. The people of the town ran to their doors to see who was coming. The prince felt very grand in his scarlet cloak as they rode along. A little girl reached out her babyish hand to feel of the soft velvet. The boy drew his cloak haughtily aside for fear her tiny hands would soil it. Strange in- deed! The cloak, which had before hung nearly to the ground, was now a foot or two shorter. The boy prince was not aware of it, but the squire saw it and wondered. The day was cold, bitterly so. Across the sky black snow-clouds hung. The little squire ' s nose was red with cold. I wish I had brought a warmer cloak, he chattered. The prince drew his scarlet cloak more closely about him. I do not feel the cold, he said, My cloak keeps me quite warm. Suddenly he felt a queer sensation. The wonderful scarlet cloak had shrunk to his knees! What is this? he shouted angrily, What kind of a cloak has my uncle dared to give me? He shook off the cloak, feeling insulted, but in an instant was glad enough to put it back on again. At noon the procession stopped for food and rest. While they were warming their hands, an old man came tottering down the road. He was bent and feeble, and his face was blue with cold. At the sight of the fire he stopped and finally came closer. The little squire stepped courteously aside to make room for him, but the selfish prince spread himself out in the place the squire had left. Then he gave a loud, angry cry. The gorgeous cloak had shrunk so that now it was just a short, tight, red jacket! All the men gathered around, staring stupidly at the cloak. Get away, get away! You make me nervous! My uncle certainly chose a fine gift, indeed! The men hastily retreated, amazed at the prince ' s unseemly wrath. Suddenly, the prince turned on the old man, and would have struck him down, save that the squire caught his upraised arm in time. Tut, tut, my lad, ' twas not the poor beggar ' s fault. Gather up, my good men. gather up, for ' tis best that we be on our way. For see, ' tis beginning already to snow! Sure enough, the flaky snow had begun to fall. The caravan moved on. The boy sat in sulky, angry silence. Not a word was spoken. Suddenly, and with a little cry, the prince gathered up his reins, stopping short his horse. Quickly he jumped down. Ah, what is it that the prince is tenderly, though awkwardly, picking up? The squire and soldiers gasped! A tiny baby, oh, so cold! The squire ran over to the prince and began hastily to take off his cloak. Stop! My cloak is warmer than yours. The prince took off the short cloak and wound it lovingly around the baby. Behold! The cloak, once a short jacket, lengthened to the gorgeous cloak it was at first. The prince gasped, and then a light of dawning understanding spread across his face. It is a cloak of unselfishness. Ah, and I am unworthy to wear it. But see, said the squire, you have now earned the right to wear it. When, later, the prince tried the cloak on again it did not shrink but remained the long, gorgeous cloak it was when his uncle first gave it to him. Nadine Rutledge, H9. AN INDIAN AFTERNOON Dr. John D. Mahoney, late of the United States, leaned comfortably in his chair looking out on the dusky road that led to Calcutta from his little cottage on its out- skirts. He had a right to feel comfortable, for the dusky Hindoo mailman had brought a transfer back to the United States. The doctor was a scientist from a Washington museum, experimenting and obtaining specimens of mystic India. Oh, Mary! he exclaimed to his wife, we ' re going back to God ' s country in a week. 0-0-0, Daddy, really? asked his eight-year-old son, Norman, eagerly. Yes, my boy, he replied. Now you run out and play and let your mother and me talk. The doctor walked to his wife, leaning on a cane and limping from a recent wound. John, said Mrs. Mahoney, don ' t you just hate snakes? Why only yester- day a big cobra sprang out from under my feet. Suppose one should bite Normie? She shuddered. Don ' t worry. Norman can obey orders. If I were to call, he would come a-running. Anyway, no snake could get in the house unless the door were open. The next noon in the sweltering Indian sun, a sun so hot that often even the natives suffer from sunstroke, the family sat at dinner. All the windows and the door were open. Across the garden occasionally a little snake would dart, or a bird would flit its way in the cloudless sky. Unnoticed by the group, a huge cobra slid its evil body across the threshold to little Norman. Hiss-s-s! Hiss-s-s! EverA one jumped. Don ' t move, commanded the elder Mahoney with his eye on the reptile. If anyone moves, he strikes. Norman, he said, be ready to jump! Jump! he ordered, and Norman jumped. W hiz-z-z went — No not the snake, but the doctor ' s cane, throwing the snake several feet away. The snake squirmed out of the house, and Norman was safe in the arms of his almost hysterical mother. — Robert Condon, H9. THE AVALANCHE Far, far do vn in a deep canyon lay a little settlement which contained frorn ten to twelve small houses. It bore no special name and, perhaps, was not known to anybody but its inhabitants and the people of the trading post whence it re- ceived its supplies. The people who inhabited it came mainly for love of adventure and the prospect of finding gold. The day had dawned bright and clear. Each person was going about his own business. Some were drawing water, others chopping wood, while the savory aroma of fr ' ing bacon sifted through the morning air. After breakfast a horse and rider left the village. It was the only one that left during that day. The others seemed to hd.ve work which kept them at home. The day passed on. Toward evening, far up the canyon were heard the hoof beats of the returning horse. At the same time a low rumble was heard. It was a different rumble, one that had never been heard in those parts before. It was so different, indeed, that it brought the whole population of the town to their door- steps in an instant. There they gazed, terror stricken, at the top of the steep moun- tain where a mass of stones and dirt came tumbling nearer and nearer while the horses hoofs beat like the falling of time. Just as the rider rounded the bend which commanded the first view of the village, his horse reared suddenly, he heard a splin- tering crash, and saw a great cloud of dust, then all was over. The avalanche had completely blotted out the village. All was again quiet except for the occasional falling of a few rocks. The rider sighed at his narrow escape, patted his horse s neck, and turned silently back down the path which he probabh would never traverse again. Frank Thompsox, L9. INSPIRATION ' Tnspiration ' is a statue of what might be called a vision in thought. The eyes seem to be gazing towards heaven, thinking of someone in that wonderful place. The statue is a bust with part of a yellow gown shomng. On the head of the statue is a wreath of laurel leaves. Our class had the statue for one week because we learned a patriotic quotation before the other Low Seventh classes. It makes me feel like doing more inspiring work. Alexander Ponedel, L7. DAME RUMOR HAS IT: That Bob Condon do es his Latin every night. That Miss Martin prefers French to Latin. That Miss Peterson dislikes book reports. That Miss Riley ' s history book is frequently to be found in the iost text- book room. That I Ir. Hennessey chews gum on the school grounds. That Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman were never in Europe. That Miss Arendt will return with a title. That Bob Quillinan hates to dance. That Ardath Busby likes them tall and handsome. That Mr. Liotto has refused to smile. That Eleanor Reed never gets more than one plus. THE RAINDROP-FAIRIES Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, Don ' t you hear them now? The little feet of fairies Dancing as the} go? Merry little elfins In their dainty glee. Flying from their gray cloud-homes To every bush and tree. Oh, these little fairies Are pretty as can be, With their silver wands a-fi ashing In gay jamboree. With their white arms full of diamonds, Sparkling gifts for you and me I Waltzing to the dulcet music Of the wrenlets in their spree, See the wee folk drop their jewels! See the dark earth catch them up! Old Mother Earth loves such beauties. And hear the birds, chirrup. Close in the poppy ' s chalice A large gem softly lies. And all the earth, each bird and beast, Gives thanks to the generous skies. The silken house of Arachne Is the palace of a king, And its drab-gowned mistress listens To what the robins sing. — L ' Envoi — So when the gifts are all a-given. When their arms, once full, are bare, Back they haste, with garments shining To their cloud home in the air. And as they are wafted upwards. By a kindly, gentle breeze. And Old Sol is gathering his elves For a frolic on the leas; When bright Iris descends gracef ' ly On her bridge of varied hue, Then the elfins rest at home. Till the earth needs jewels anew. Phyllis Joy Preston, H9. THE PACE-MAKER Chief among the sports participated in by students of the Elay and Notecnirp Universities are track and field. In the season of 1920, these colleges were cham- pions of their respective divisions. They would settle their dispute as to which would be champion of the state on Ma} twenty-second. Everyone realized that the quarter-mile dash, in which the contestants were very even, would decide the meet. At last the great day arrived. The blue and white banners of Elay mingling with the red and gold of Notecnirp, was a pretty sight. As the stands filled, the meet began. First Elay would surprise, and win an event; then Notecnirp Vvould retaliate with an unexpected victory in another. The meet see-sawed back and forth, until finally, when all the events except the quarter-mile dash had been run off, the score was tied 61 to 6I3 S. The winner of the 440-yard dash would decide the meet. Jacobs of Elay and Guernsey of Notecnirp could both run the distance under fi.fty seconds, and every one was sure that the race would be close. Amid tense excitement, six runners toed the mark. It was noticed that one of the men did not participate in the warming-up maneuvers. He stood apart from the rest, utterly motionless and unconcerned. The Elay trainer stood near him with his arm over his shoulder, as if giving him advice. The trainer stood beside him until the starter waved his pistol. Bang I Six forms darted down the cinder path. The strange athlete was well in I he lead. With a peculiar, mechanical stride he ran and fairly ate up the distance. Some one to set the pace for Guernsey and tire him, grumbled an eager watcher. No, look at that stride! He is not letting up a bit, came from another inter- ested spectator. On and on sped the runner with the same regular pace. The three-htmdred mark was passed now, with the strange athlete full twenty yards in the lead. Fin- ally, he crossed the line a winner by twenty-five yards. However, to the astonish- ment of all, he kept on running, broke through the fence at the end of the track, and topple into the dust. Then came the announcer ' s voice clear and strong. First place in the quarter- mile dash: Dubkins, Elay. Time: forty- five seconds, setting a new world ' s record. Then, as the crowd clapped loudly, two rubbers were seen bearing the lifeless form of Dubkins, a hole in his side exposing the metal clockwork of the tin dummy, which had gained for Elay a great victory. — John Kilkenny, H9. THE SUNSET ON THE GOLDEN GATE The sunset on the Golden Gate, A beautiful sight one can relate, And when the clouds are hovering o ' er. It adds to the beauty, even more. And those who live upon the hills May grasp its beauty with many thrills. When we behold this wonderful sight. Flow can we doubt God ' s power and might? — Evelyn Jory, L9. A REAL PICNIC Our lessons are finished, our books put away, So now for a truly old-time holiday. Grandma packed the lunch-box, Jane took her new book, And Jim took his fiddle to play by the brook. But we children, when ready, took nothing at all. Save happiness, joy, and a new rubber ball. Grandpa hitched the wagon, we all tumbled in, And with laughing and talking we did make a din. Along through the meadows we joyfully bumped Then we stopped, and from out the old wagon we jumped. The place which we chose was a beautiful spot. With a stream running through it, and trees, oh, a lot. The grass was so tall and so soft and so green. We ' re sure that there ne ' er was a prettier scene. At last came the twilight, and homeward we rode. Through the gathering dusk, a tired happy load. Long ago, there was a small village located on the Pacific Coast which is now the city of San Francisco. This little village ' s name was Tamal. It was an Indian village so it had to have an Indian name. One night the Indians were sitting around their fire when they heard a crash. This crash was a mighty tidal wave that had swept over the low range of moun- tains. It smashed the forests and the Indian villages. When this storm was over, other tribes of Indians came from near and far to see the great disaster. The water had swept in through a low place in the mountain which is now the Golden Gate. Goat Island is no less than a mountain peak which now serves as a protector to the bay as a naval base. We owe many thanks to the great spirit even if the tidal wave did kill many hundreds of Indians. Warren Kinney, H8. Mr. Hennessey running in the halls? Mrs. Brennan sewing without a thimble?

Oh come with me to fairy land And you shall see as I, The graceful little Tinker Bell Away up in the sky. And you shall see the Elfin king, Perhaps, for us he ' ll sing. The queen will also add her might. Oh, it will be a glorious sight! LEE BLANCHARD, L7. I CLASS PROJECTS | CIVIC PROJECTS Many interesting projects have been taken up by our Civics classes this term to make the course more interesting and to fix more clearly in our minds the vital facts of city, county, state and national government. Early in the term we organ- ized the government of the city in each class. The Mayor, City Manager, Auditor, Justice of the Peace, and other officers were selected from among the pupils. Those not holding an office took the part of the general public of Berkeley. The entire business of the city was conducted through committees and Council meetings, and matters of actual interest to the citizens of Berkeley were discussed and voted upon. Later, each member of the class selected a county for his particular study. Books and oral reports were prepared on these counties, the information being ob- tained in various ways. Writing to cities in the different counties was the popular way of securing information. During the term, trips were taken to the Berkeley City Hall and the Alameda County Buildings, on which trips a great deal of infor- mation and many souvenirs were obtained which were later put into book form. Also, different parts of the work were dramatized, such as the Constitutional Con- vention of 1787 and a present da} Naturalization Trial. We are sure the class feels that these projects have been both interesting and helpful. Marjorie Evans, Chairman. PROJECT IN COMMERCIAL MATHEMATICS Those who did first section work in Mrs. Long ' s commercial mathematics classes were allowed to work in the office during their period of mathematics for one week each. The best students were allowed to do this. In helping Miss Cannon, the pupils learned much that they would otherwise not have known. This office work helps to train pupils in accuracy, promptness, answering telephones, filing, and other business practice. Some of the girls worked outside of school during the Easter vacation. They told us that the training and the experience that they had received here at school was invaluable to them, as they had the routine they would otherwise not have had. Thea Nettelmann, H9. THE DAWN. The moon was shining through the trees, The stars were twinkling in the sky, Green boughs were stirred by summer ' s breeze, And night birds had begun to fly. At last the sky is streaked with gray, And soon appears a rosy hue, That heralds now the coming day, And brightens up the azure blue. The strange, weird noises of the night Ceased, with the dawning of the light. ISABELLE BANNING, L9. LATIN PROJECTS When first we started Latin In Miss Martin ' s lovely class, We brought all sorts of lovely toys To make the glad hours pass. There was a little corbula Brought here from Mexico. ' Twas just the size for Tommy Thumb It surely made a show. And then a little later We made derivative books, And pasted in bright pictures, To liven up their looks. One day Miss Martin did announce Our assignment next would be, To gather in advertisements For all the class to see. For lots of English words you know Are from the Latin taken. Victrola is a common one. Our interest it did waken. And now we are a-planning To give some Latin plays, To show before our mothers And remember all our days. Betty Gerwick, L8. ART PROJECTS The Garfield Art Department has done much work this term in addition to the regular art courses. The Easter season was the incentive for the making of many very lovely Easter cards. Most of these were sent as gifts to the sick soldiers at Livermore. Pupils from all the art classes gave much time and energy to the making of flags to represent all the states in our country. These flags were very effectively used in several entertainments. A great interest and active part was taken by all the art students in the adver- tising for Library Day. Many of them brought illustrations and excellent charac- ter and costume suggestions. These were made into posters which were put around the school to give ideas and arouse interest in Library Day. Many drawing students were able to help the art teachers to plan and purchase costumes for the operetta, ' ' The Gypsy Rover. There is no doubt that the Garfield pupils have shown in many ways how they can use their art training to make the school always a better and happier place. SEWING DEPARTAIEXT PROJECTS This 3 ' ear the Se ing classes have done much for the good of the school. The first work was to make the curtains for the dressing rooms in the girls ' gymnasium. There were thirty-six curtains in all made of unbleached miuslin and they-are much appreciated by the girls. The next project was to make the G s for the athletic teams. Each of the ninth grade swing classes helped lAith this work. The girls did very well and even the boys must admit that these G ' s look as well as factory-made letters. These letters were made a little different from those of other years. The orange G was sewn on a white felt background and looks ven,- well. This work saved the school between fifty and sixty dollars. On Friday evening. April 4th. sixty-five girls participated in a Fashion Show. Any girl who had satisfactorily completed her dress was allowed to walk across the stage and show her dress to the large and admiring audience. Two girls carried scarfs which the}- had woven on the loom in our Se -ing Department. Carr -ing on our annual custom, we are making a number of garments for the Mtmicipal Christmas tree. It seems a bit early to make Christmas gifts but all are entering into the project with eagerness and zest. Four dozen boys blouses and twelve pairs of two-piece pajamas will be ready before the end of the term. We helped a little on the costumes for the operetta and spent a great deal of time cleaning, pressing and refurbishing the costumes for the Shakesperian play. We certainly have to take our hats off to Irs. Brennan and we are again re- minded that ven,- ••good things often come in small packages. ' ' ' ZMargarzt Ricchers, L9. CITY GOVERNMENT, A CIVIC PROJECT Our study of city government this semester with ] Iiss Fraser has been ver - interesting and profitable, because we have learned many things about our city which we did not know. We have studied city government in five dift ' erent ways. First, we learned names and duties of city officials, and facts concerning city governments, from Mr. Hennessey ' s Ci -ics book. Second, we gathered current topics concerning Berkeley matters from papers, and discussed them in class. Third, we had short scenes and plays put on before the class by pupils impersonating Berkeley officials and Berkeley citizens doing business th them. These plays were written and directed by pupils and proved ven,- satisfactory in explaining to the class the duties of the city officials. Probably the most enjoyable part of our stud}- was our visit to the Berkeley City Hall. Here we met several city officials and were shown the dift ' erent depart- ments of government and their work was explained to us. A small, mock trial was put on for us in the City Court-room, using the pupils for the dift ' erent persons in- cluded in the trial. After this trip the class made booklets. First in the book came the ston,- of the trip to the City Hall. Then came some pictures of Berkeley officials and clippings pertaining to Berkeley government, and then, several pages of important, current news items. Other items which were in some of the books, were samples of tax bills given the class b}- Miss Yoimg. the City Tax Collector. Idalie ' an Wye and VrRomiA Hade, H8.

Assistant Editor ...Phyllis Preston Dick Mowday, John Kilkenny Literary Editor Nancy Campbell Athletic Editor... .Carrie Laflin Joke Editor Elmer Kern Faculty Advisor.. ..Mrs. Gray BUSINESS STAFF Business Manager Morgan Boyers Circulation Manager.. ..Nadine Rutledge Assistant Manager Augustus Stiegeler Faculty Advisor Mrs. Long EDITORIAL The history of Garfield is like an Oriental rug, which is not woven by one per- son but by many generations. One prepares the camels ' hair, another the warp and woof, another the dyes, several others the design, and many others weave it, until it is finished. They use the best of dyes, designs, material, and workmanship, which all tend to make and uphold the beauty of Oriental rugs. Each color means some- thing; each dragon, flower, or any other part of the design, stands for something. Thus we, too, are weaving the history of Garfield. It takes many years to make it : each class weaves a little more of the pattern, in that class each advisory, in each advisory each pupil. Our teachers and parents supply and make ready the material and design, but we, the pupils, are responsible for the reputation of Gar- field in making the warp and woof the strongest possible. Some put in the bright colors of fame and honor. There are four principal colors: athletics, science, art, and literature. There is a cheerful tone in the rug, which is made by the spirit of friendship, the good will between teachers and students, and the enthusiastic school spirit. Thus all the children together make the pattern. Each pupil has an op- portunity to weave into the history of Garfield the bright color of fame, a bit of beautiful background in fine character building, a chance to strengthen the warp or woof by honesty, honor, and allegiance to duty. Our graduation class of this year has finished its share in making the history of Garfield. To you who come after us we entrust the weaving of the pattern — to make it more beautiful with fun of good sportsmanship, the joy of friendship, and the satisfaction of work well done. Eleanor Reed, H9. FOR THE HONOR OF OUR SCHOOL Our school should be first in our thoughts, and we should endeavor to build it up in every way, making it the best school in the city — one that all students will be proud to attend and support. Likewise, we should always try to make our- selves worthy of the school — to keep the standard high — to see that no slur or blemish is allowed to mar its beauty and reputation. Remember that a bad name, once given a school, is hard to overcome. The honor of the school can best be shown by the character of the pupils, (that comes first), then by the standing of the pupils in their studies and in their athletic achievements. Each pupil in his capacity should do his best to raise high the standard of the school and keep it to the highest pitch of excellence. The name of the school — its standing — is made up of the acts and words of its students. The school will have a name no greater than the quality of the conduct of the students — so each one should do the best he can in every word and deed to add to the fame of the school, that its honor will always be upheld. Then those who come after us will speak well of us and en- deavor to emulate us. Nancy Campbell, H9. OUR COVER DESIGN John Kilkenny is responsible for our fine cover design. If you like it, tell him so. FAREWELL TO GARFIELD. Gai field is the school for us, Which we all hate to leave; Nevertheless we feel we must, No matter how we grieve. High school offers broader fields Our horizon to expand, It gives us many a chance to wield A strong and helping hand. We leave not ' cause we want to go, Simply because we must. From Garfi.eld, we know we learned I will, I can, I must. And it ' s Garfield we will think of When we ' re at Berkeley High, For the best old school in all the land Is Garfield Junior High.

GIRLS ' HUT Through Mr. Flanders ' department, twenty low and high nine boys are con- structing the girls ' hut. It is situated on Rose street, west of the school. The cost of the materials is between five and six hundred dollars. The approximate value is about $2000. At present the hut will be one large room. Later, a kitchenette will be added. Plans are under way for beautifying the front of the building. The plans are worked out by the science department of Garfield. The curtains will be made by the sewing de partment, under the supervision of Mrs. Brennan. The music department has been extremely helpful in completing the hut. The proceeds from the Gypsy Rover, have been given for its completion. Next fall all girls ' activities will be carried on in the hut under the supervision of Miss Morse. Cecyl Rathbone, H9.

L8G ADVISORY RECEIVES GUESTS Our Low Eight advisory entertained a class of girls from the Deaf and Dumb Institute. The girls visited us at the advisory period. They were very much interested in our work, so Miss Gay had us recite some words from the board while the girls watched our lips with extreme interest. Then Mrs. Martin, their instructor, asked them some questions and they wrote on the board their answers. Most of us do not realize how fortunate we are until we see these pitiful afflic- tions of life. They recently sent us some copies of their interesting papers, Once-A-Week, and California News. They extended a hearty welcome to the boys of our class to visit their printing department, where the boys of the institute publish the papers. We trust that the girls had an enjoyable time at Garfield. The L8G class is always glad to entertain visitors. Alyse Lyon, L8. THE ALUMNI DANCE On Friday evening. May 7, the Alumni gave a dance, celebrating our victory at the track meet. During the grand march the participants marched through Garfield ' s famous horse shoe. The orchestra was excellent. During the course of evening, candidates for next year ' s Alumni president and secretary were nominated and elected. Stephen Gamble was elected president and George Cooney, secretary. DRAMATICS THE BOOK SHOP On Library Day, February 12, a fantasy, entitled The Book Shop, written by Miss WiUiams and Mrs. Gray, and directed by Miss Patton, was presented to a large audience. In the play were seen dearly loved characters of favorite books come to life. Queen Titania waved her fairy wand and her fairies danced for us, while Mother Goose ' s characters were very much in evidence. We pulled up our collars when Hans Brinker and his playmates showed us how to skate on ice, and when Evangeline passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music. Finally, Bob Cratchett and Tiny Tim appeared with a God bless us every one.

Against Willard, the 105 and 115 teams were vic- torious, and although the unlimited team was defeated, the game was very close. Edison seemed to have the best teams of all the schools. However, the 115 ' s were defeated by only one point. Winning two out of three of their games, the 105 and 115-pound teams were able to get their G ' s and stars. A large basketball rally was held at the close of the season, in which Mr. Work of Cornell University honored us with his presence and awarded the G ' s and stars. Jean Jacobs, L9. BOYS ' BASKETBALL Garfield, for the first time in three years, failed to win the championship in basketball. In a never-to-be-forgotten game, Edison Unlimiteds nosed out Gar- field, 12 to 11. The Unlimiteds, under the stellar leadership of Captain John Ran- some, won their first game from Willard, 36 to 16, then beat Burbank, 14 to 11. The squad who received letters were Captain Ransome, Dougery, Claggett, Law- rence, Gray, Turney, Stanton, Calvert, Gugat, Scott, Stevens, and Luce. The 115 ' s, by losing their captain and star center, George Miller, were rather out of the league at the start. They won their first game from Burbank, but in a fast game the Willard champions beat them to the score of 7 to 2. In their final game, minus the services of Captain Miller, the team was defeated by Edison. The 105-pound boys won two of the three league games. Their Jonah was Willard. After beating Burbank rather easily, Willard nosed them out, 10 to 9. They closed the season by defeating Edison, 12 to 7. Edison won the cham- pionship; Garfield was second. Letter winners were Captain Cooper, Turn- bull, Harvey, Philips, Berry, Wills, Wightman, Dellett, Thompson, and Burnell. Robert Condon, H9. GIRLS ' BASEBALL LEAGUE The girls ' teams this season, as usual, are competing against one another in baseball. The teams are divided into three leagues: League C, containing the more practiced players; League B, the next in line, and League A, the less experienced. The teams in the different leagues, thanks to the coaching of Miss Stout and Miss Nombalais, have played well and shown good competition. The teams with the highest number of points in League C are captained by Carmel Waterbury and Carrie Laflin; in League B, Betty Martin ' s team is ahead and Florence Robert ' s and Matilda Mac Caughey ' s teams are of honorable mention; in League A, Ardath Fluharty is ahead, and those of honorable mention are the teams of Juanita Parks and Margaret Joy. The winning team of each league will receive numerals. Kathleen Carrier and Elizabeth Paul, L9. BOYS ' BASEBALL The Garfield Baseball Team, under the supervision of Coach Kilburn, took third place in the Berkeley Junior High School League. Although the players lacked the experience that the team of last year had, they played their best. The team dropped two games to Edison, both of which were hard fought games. The captain of the nine, Charlie Curran, proved himself a good ball player and captain. The Garfield players did their best to make themselves a winning team only to meet defeat by the Edison and Burbank nines. The two games with Willard were easily won owing to Willard ' s handicap. Burbank gave the team a good fight for second place in the league. The coaches hope that next year ' s team will fight as hard and prove as loyal as this year ' s team. Hamilton MacCaughey, H9.
