GARFIELD LOSES ITS LOW TENS Yes, dear Garfield, you are honestly losing one of your valuable assets, the Low Ten Class. But Garfield’s loss is High School’s gain, for in us is the raw material or even the almost finished product of famous artists, singers, lawyers, scientists, and business people. But all joking aside, we are sorry we must leave the happy surroundings in which we spent three and a half joyous years of our life. We were rather glad to stay here for our first high school term, because it enabled us to start new work in old surroundings, and under the familiar guidance of former teachers. So in leaving you, we, the second and last of the Low Tenth Grades at Garfield, say not Aufwiedersehn” but Adios.” Curtis Duggan, Low Ten. LOW TEN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES have been numerous this year. Our first festivity was a rollerskating party at the Oakland Skating Rink. A beautiful dinner dance given by the Low Ten Honor Sosiety was one of the highlights of the term. Afternoon dances have been popular. We have had a happy time. Nancy Pilgrim, Low Ten. THE LOW TEN HONOR SOCIETY held no election this term. Instead, two members from each advisory were chosen to act as officers. The representatives are: Margaret Sheppard, George Cusick Jean Gold- man, Margaret Cartwright, Bill Sheeran, Erna Kremser, Barbara Beck- with, Ernest Holly, Robert Benjamin, Mary Lou Allen, and Frank Cole. The chairman is Mary Jane Yost. The great feature of the term was the Honor Society Banquet, held December 9. Toasts to noted guests, a program between courses and danc- ing to complete the affair made a delightful event. Mary Jane Yost, Low Ten. CORRIDOR CHATTER” has been edited this semester by the Low Ten English Classes. The new features that have been enthusiastically re- ceived are: Public Opinion,” Read,” Yip Sing,” Embarrassing Mo- ments,” Did You Know,” Listen To,” and Down the Corridor.” The English classes of Mrs. Bagnall, Mrs. Dyson, Mrs. Verbeck, Mrs. Archer, and Miss Stone successively and successfully prepared and edited this sheet. All the classes concerned wish to give their heartiest thanks to Miss Ham- sher and her classes for their splendid co-operation in publishing the famed Corridor Chatter.” Althea Wilson, Low Ten. LOW TEN ATHLETES have had an opportunity to show their interest in football. The fellows who have turned out have shown the right spirit by getting to Berkeley High School each day, and working hard at practice. They’ve proven that they have what it takes to be football players. Those unable to go out for football, have organized a Volley Ball Team. This team has won every game this season with the exception of the Low Nine contest. An excellent record! Edgar Nelson, Low Ten.

G. S. A. RALLY This is an Associated Radio Sportscast coming to you from the Garfield grandstands. Garfield is holding its semi-annual G. S. A. Rally in honor of the Membership Drive. It has started off with a BANG! from the great Garfield Band. Ken Nattress (remember him?) has written a romantic skit, which is starring Jack Wilson and Doris Vogett. Uncle Tom and Little Eva, who are being played by Jack Brewster and Alice Brownlee are assisting in giving out the banners to the 25 100 per cent advisories. Mrs. Shriver’s and Mrs. Gavin’s were the first advisories to be 100 per cent. YELLS! SONGS! Everybody going wild with enthusiasm! The noise shaking the grandstands! Just a minute and we’ll pick up a yell for you. The crowd is going mad l Another new membership record is broken. We will now pause for station identification. This is station YRU Broadcast- ing? Louise Murphy, Mary Stewart, High Nine. THE GARFIELD STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Garfield Student Association started its membership drive this semester with an exciting football game, the High Seventh, Low Eighth, High Eighth, against the Low Ninth, High Ninth, and Low Tenth. There are now two extra offices in the G. S. A. They are the offices of the Presidency of the Girls’ and the Boys’ Associations. This makes eleven instead of nine officers in the cabinet. The President of the Girls’ Associa- tion has charge of all girls’ activities. The President of the Boys’ Association has charge of all the boys’ activities. There are now one thousand sixty members in the G. S. A. All of the High Nines are members. Louise Murphy, Mary Stewart, High Nine. C+J OKS A Winter Night On a cold and wintry night It’s a warm and cheerful sight To sit around with my home folks In the flickering firelight glow When the lamps are turned down low It’s time for talks and kindly jokes. Lynette Temple, High Nine. Bill Elliot, Low T en. Joyeux Noel! Que la paix Habite votre maison, Que la joie Soit dans votre coeur.
