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. ROBERTA MELLO, H9.

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-
