CLASS STATISTICS By Sheldon Brodie and Robert Plant, Fall, 1936 The graduating class of January, 1937, is not as large as some previous classes, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. This class has 150 members, of whom eighty-one are girls and sixty-nine are boys. Our statistics may not be stupendous, gigantic, or colossal, but we guar- antee them to be surprising — (at least they surprised us.) In this class are represented twenty states, one national possession, and three foreign countries. Twenty-four cities in California have been honored by being the birthplaces of our members. The chief ones are: Berkeley (see if you can find that on the map) , from which there are forty- five; San Francisco, where twenty-two originated; and Oakland, respon- sible for twenty. Outside of California, the leading states represented are Colorado and the. Lone Star State (which, in case you don ' t know, is Texas) , from which there are three delegates, each. Two members, John Bradley and Eugenie Mjedloff, come from romantic Hawaii. The foreign powers send us, from Canada, Ralph Tufts and Ruth Laidlaw; from Germany, Horst Walck and Margot Heimann; and last, but not least, we find Birgit Dundas from Norway. Thus, this class ranges nearly half-way round the world. We have a large assortment of names. Among the unusual names for the girls are Aida, Merle, and Birgit. Barbara and Jeanne (spelt Gene- Jean- Jeanne) predominate, with six holders for each. The boys have eight Johns, six Williams, and six Roberts. The most unusual names are Maxim, Sheldon, and John Puissegeur Bradley — (pronounce it as you wish) . The age of this class ranges from 13 to 17, four years difference. Miss Laurens ' advisory wins the prize of the oldest group by a mere ten years over Miss Kilkenny ' s triple threaters. The total age of the Laurens advis- ory is 472 years, five months. The oldest member in the class is aged 17 years, 4 months; the youngest is 13 years, 6 months. Incidentally, both are girls. The total age of the class dates back to the days of Plato, 399 B. C. (The famous Platonic school was formed by Plato in 400 B. C.) The total age of the boys is 1 1 3 1 years, seven months ; and of the girls, 1203 years, five months. The class, despite its smallness in number, is decidedly tall, due to the fact that it has several six-footers and several close to that height. The tallest of these is Howland Lake, who raises the roof at six feet, three inches, in his stocking feet. (Think what would happen if he puts on a pair of high heeled shoes. ) The lengthiest girl is Peggy Ann Zoll, who keeps the old roof pretty high at five feet, ten inches (believe it or not) . The girl nearest to the ground is only five feet one-half inch short. The shortest boy stands (not sits) at five feet, one inch. The advisory nearest to the sky is Mrs. Kilkenny ' s, which towers 197 feet above good old terra-firma. The total height of all the girls is 427 feet, nine inches. The boys are 402 feet, six inches high, making the grand total of 830 feet, three inches in height, or eighty feet, nine inches higher than the Marin Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Naturally, we are not the heaviest class that ever graduated from Gar- field. In fact, we are probably among the lightest. However, the heaviest [12]
