Dismissed is thought of strife, or grievance small, For when lifts she her hand, except to bless? To her most earnest is a wish most sweet To make herself beloved and to be Omnipotent by lofty aims. For then Her sovereignty is ever more complete. She rules a despot o’er her people free, Aye through the heart, not hand, enslaving men. The Spirit of Technical The Spirit of Technical is one of mutual forbearance, mutual under- standing, and mutual helpfulness. It renders service without fear, except the fear of violating the noble traditions for which the school stands. It rules without favor and with the set purpose to improve the individual and to uphold the general ideal. It recognizes authority as essential, but exercises it as a means rather than an end. It holds to strict responsi- bility, for therein lie safety and right growth. It cultivates initiative and self reliance, but insists upon individual and collective accountability. Its burning purpose is self realization and the attainment of the highest ca- pacity to serve in one’s own time and place. It is a constructive, not a destructive, spirit; therefore it opposes dis- order, confusion, subtle detraction, secret machination and the pursuit of selfish aggrandizement, at the expense of the general peace and healthy growth. It favors co-operation, because we learn to govern and to build, not from precept alone, but rather by participation in governing and building, according to ability, inclination and honesty of purpose. This spirit, all pervasive and all dominant is the best heritage each generation of students can transmit to its successor,—failing in this, students fail in the highest service to which they may be invited; namely, the building of a permanent and spiritual monument in the community, rather than one that is tran- sitory and material.

It was the spring of 1925 and I was on my vaca- � tion at Quincy in Plumas County. I was at home with = 4] nature, filled with the joy of that great outdoors and in- spired possibly by a full basket of trout. As I walked along, I mused to myself, “Ten years since the great Exposition at San Francisco; yes, and ten years since the Class of December, 715, was graduated from Technical High.” Thinking in such a strain, I neared the hotel, when I noticed a tall lean figure as brown as an Indian approaching me, carrying a transit on his shoulder. “Allen Ashley,” I exclaimed as soon as I recognized him. “How is my old school friend? I have just been thinking of the Class of December, 715; what a coincidence!” We then shook hands for several minutes. Allen immediately invited me to converse with him about our high school days and our classmates, and as I was only too willing, it was not long before we were sitting on the veranda of the hotel talking of our distant fellow graduates. “T see, Allen, that you are surveying,” I said inquiringly. “Yes,” he answered, “I am superintending the geological survey for the government and find the work most enjoyable and interesting. In fact, I chose such a profession partly because of the outdoor life.” “Well, I have chosen an opposite career. I am indoors most of the time and although your occupation is more healthful than mine, I take great interest in my work. Since I was graduated from the California College of Pharmacy, I have been doing considerable microscopical and research work. What are Herbert Ferguson and Earl Girvin doing now?” “The last time I saw Ferguson he was preparing for a vigorous cam- paign for state senator and I understand he is expected to win the election. Earl Girvin is still practicing law in Los Angeles and is gaining a fine reputation through his work against the trusts and corporations.” “It seems strange,” I returned, “how soon the class has drifted apart. Clarence Hammell is the owner of a wheat field in Canada, and Gladys Odell is doing social work in the East. Many of the class, however, are still in Oakland. Fred Peterson is an expert draftsman in the employ of the United Iron Works now, and Wilfred Randall owns a large whol esale grocery store in town.” . “Norman Croudace is also around the old home town and just as pleasant and comical as ever,” Ashley remarked. “About a month ago, I went down to San Francisco and the train was five hours behind time. Just as I was boarding the ferry after the train pulled in, I heard a famil- iar voice from the pilot house yell, ‘Say, Conductor, you'll get so far be- hind before long that you'll be on time the next day.’ Looking up I saw Norman Croudace, ferry captain, smilingly regarding the effect of his speech.” “Well,” I observed as I smiled at the story of the irrepressible one, “there are others who are far from Oakland. Irene White is in New York in a large tailoring house as chief designer, and Mildred Merritt is some- where in the Middle West, the wife of a prosperous rancher.” “And,” supplemented Ashley, “Lora Swank is also in New York teach- ing music. She has just returned from studying in Europe, and is sus- taining her reputation as a fine scholar. When speaking of the East,” he further added, “we must not forget Paul Codington who is playing such a fine game of ball at third base for the Red Sox. His hitting and fielding are the talk of the hour among the Boston fans and they expect him to be the sensation of the league this season.” “In getting back to California,” said I, “I will say that James Govan has won that suit over oil rights against the Standard Oil Company in this state, and his hard work is being rewarded by a generous profit from his oil fields and refinery.” “Speaking of the Standard Oil reminds me,” said Ashley, “that Helen Junor is employed by that Company as a stenographer in their main California office, and I might add also that Mildred Abbott and Agnes Dunning are teaching at Technical High, the school from which they were graduated.” “Is that so?” I asked, “several other members are employed in various commercial capacities. Bethia Fulton and Arthur Johnson are both work- ing as bookkeepers, one for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and the other for the Ford Motor Company. I occasionally meet them, as they still reside in Oakland.” “Ts Anna Street still in Oakland?” asked Ashley. “Why, no,” I replied, “she married a wealthy young physician, and is now living in Chicago and taking a prominent part in the social activities of that city.” “By the way,” said Ashley, “I met Albin Johnson on the train some time ago, and enjoyed a short talk with him. He spoke to me of several 715 people. You know he owns garages and supply stations in several interior towns with headquarters at Sacramento. He said that Arline Stuart is successfully working as a stenographer in the offices of a promi- nent Los Angeles lawyer and it is rumored that she is about to be married; while Frances Bartle is employed in a similar capacity by the Western Pacific Railway in San Francisco. He spoke also of enjoying a pleasant visit to the large cannery of Reed and Vander Peer near Fresno while he was in that town last summer, and said that they are building up a repu- tation for honest goods at fair prices.” “And,”—I started to speak when, as the hotel clock struck nine, Ashley made a frantic grab for his belongings and exclaimed, “T’ll have to move to catch that night train for the city. Hurry up with the rest of our friends.” ? He disappeared into the hotel and soon returned with a well packed crip. As he reappeared, I continued, “There is only one more of our old classmates of December 715, and he is Rudolph Mathieson. I have heard lately that he is becoming wealthy in the real estate business and is now opening a new tract of land in the northern part of the state.” “Good for Red; he always did have a fine business head,” said Ashley, and, with a final handshake and a cheery “So long, George,” he disap- peared toward the station, leaving me alone, beneath the beautiful starlit skies of the high Sierras, meditating on the varied destinies which had shaped the courses of the class of December 15 on the vast and turbulent sea of life, and I wondered when and under what circumstances I should again meet one of the old class. ALLEN ASHLEY. GEORGE MEADER. wee Fcc HE class of December, 1915, began its high school career at the old Manual Training and Commercial High at Twelfth and Market. We were handicapped during our first three years, and the activities in which we took part were not many. This was due principally to the condition of the school. The class, however, became quite conspicuous when we took honors from the seniors and sophomores in “tug-of- war.” We were also active in our junior year when the various classes contended for supremacy by decorating the school and the surrounding grounds with their respective numerals. Since the school has been in its present location, the graduating class has taken advantage of the opportunities afforded it. Last term, our low senior semester, we entertained the high senior class at a party held in Masonic Temple. Miss Wythe and Miss Wilder acted as chaperones. A most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and card playing and in listening to the class quartette, and the high seniors declared that they had a very good time; while we reciprocated by saying that the pleasure was equally divided. During our high senior term we have had Miss Byxbee as the class teacher and she has taken a vital interest in our activities and encouraged us considerably. Our last social gathering, previous to graduation, was at Anna Street’s home. Miss Byxbee acted as chaperon and the class had a very enjoyable evening. There was dancing and playing and Harold Reed’s soloists sang, but the most enjoyable thing was the game entitled “My Ship Goes Sailing,” in which Fred Peterson was the most conspicuous person. We have seen many changes from the time we entered the old school until now, when we graduate from the beautiful new Technical High, but no matter how many, nor how radical those changes have been, they cannot erase from our remembrances the pleasant times we have had during our high school career.

Just ahead of him there fluttered a small unconcerned butterfly, pausing here and there over some tantalizingly inviting blossom, only to flee . on rapidly beating wings before the approaching net of the haart | harassed bug collector. The sweat of hard work poured forth from his every pore, and from time to time he would halt, lay down the tin box, disengage a dingy handkerchief from a full pocket and mop a very damp forehead. Time after time he charged wildly down the steep slope of some hill only to climb laboriously out of a valley, while just above and ahead of him would float the beautiful insect of which he was in full pursuit. Of a sudden the butterfly turned abruptly to the left and made over the brow of a hill. Just as abruptly the young man swerved and contin- ued his unerring chase. Over the top of the hill they went and at full cry down the opposite side. Now this hill was a rather queer hill that dropped off suddenly to a pretty little meadow tucked away beneath the surrounding slopes. Before the young man was aware of the startling fact (which is not surprising as he had his eyes well on the butterfly, now but a few lengths ahead of him), he was plunging helter skelter down this steep incline and, wonder of wonders, safely imprisoned in his net was the butterfly, caught in the swift descent. A few breathless seconds and he came to an abrupt halt with an igno- minious thud quite in front of the most stunningly beautiful girl he had ever seen. The breath was fully knocked out of him, for it must be remembered that he had landed face down with a loud bang, scattering the dry leaves to the four winds. Several moments he lay with his eyes closed, and then he gathered his sprawling pedal members beneath him and assayed to rise, calling home his scattered wits. “I beg your pardon,” he turned to the girl whose face was scarlet in the effort to retain sundry outbursts of enthusiasm, “for my startling en- trance into your presence.” “Pardon is granted, I assure you, b-b-ut would you mind doing it o-ver, please? You see I was so wholly engrossed in this dreadfully stupid book,” displaying a volume of summer reading, “that I missed the greater art of the performance. Oh, really now, I was only fooling,” she added p I y hastily, her blue eyes sparkling as he turned to reascend the hill. “Really, I would like to oblige you, but if you were only fooling I’ve no objection to ringing down the curtain right now. One performance is quite enough, I assure you,” he said, tenderly nursing a bruised knee and dabbling a rapidly growing bump on his brow. He Blanees at his net which lay near and discovered the delicately beautiful insect str ugeling beneath its fine mesh. But he also found that the girl was more ravishingly pretty than he had at first supposed and he promptly forgot the butterfly over which he had won a hard earned victory. “I—I, upon second thought, I'll do it over if you wish,” he said fool- ishly, his eyes still fixed on her face. “Won’t you sit down and rest?” she asked prettily, discovering for him a spot near her. He promptly took the proffered seat. “Nice day, isn’t it?” he offered lamely. The day was beautiful, the scene wonderful, and the book was less interesting than the man; that he was a stranger to her did not seem to be a barrier to this unconventional young woman. “You see I was waiting for Henry. He was to meet me there with the car,” indicating a road at a little distance; “he i s wonderfully droll,” glancing archly at her hero, “but not nearly as nice looking as you.” “Flatterer,” was his inward comment. “Oh really, he must be something of a joke if he is worse looking than I. What did you say was the title of that book?” She passed it over. It was “Love Letters” by the Countess X. The conversation ran on to books they had read or heard about. They trod with bold feet through the maze of opera, music, and art. All the time her eyes wrought havoc with his soul. His hand dropt to his side and just brushed her fingers. He pulled his hand away and blushed. She looked at him with reproach in her eyes. “I never did care much about the impressionists; they are altogether too rude in their colors. Don’t you think so?” “Yes—er—no,—that is, I really don’t know. You see I have never been much of an art student.” His hand dropped to his side again, intentional! this time, with a great show of carelessness. “Do you like entomology, that is, bugology?” It developed that she had quite a leaning towards that entrancing study. Indeed, she had such a pronounced leaning that he found her head very near to his shoulder. Her cheek was very close. He wondered if her complexion was nai- ural. Her lips were really similar to a rosebud when puckered in a sly little pout. The conversation veered outrageously. The bravely struggling butter- fly cried, “Help, help, help,” but it was in the butterfly language and our hero failed to recognize the call, for he was far more interested in a different type of butterfly. “I love you,” cried the ardent suitor, forgetting himself completely. Great silence for the space of a minute. He felt somehow ridiculously foolish, and yet her nose was a cute nose and— “You’re a wonderful girl,” he burst out irrelevantly. More silence, for this is a case where silence speaks more than words. Her hat fell off and spoiled her pompadour. “Squawk,” cried the butterfly in the butterfly language, “I’m caught, ['m caught.” And a bluebird mocked, “I’m caught.” He kissed her then, and thought of Henry. It tickled him immensely to think of Henry. “At the end of a perfect day,” he sighed, a film of perfect peace and happiness setting over the landscape. A lazy wind sprung up, softly fling- ing a lock of her hair into his face. The touch of it enthralled him. What if they hadn’t known each other very long? Conventions weren’t everything. Yet he had a feeling that tomorrow— There was the sudden scream of a siren and with rapidly beating ex- haust, the auto sprang into view and stopped opposite the meadow. “It’s Henry,” she screamed and broke away from our hero. She tried to run to the sputtering motor, but her hobble was too tight and the most she could essay was a rapid toe and heel exercise. Our hero watched her in astonishment until the motor passed from view down the end of the meadow. “OF all the fools—” he ejaculated as he roused himself into vigorous action. He picked up the net and with unseeing eyes let the insect free. It burst upwards on rapidly fluttering wings, tried a couple of spirals and flip-flops, and wandered lazily away on the breast of a vagrant breeze. “She’s a flirt,” he vindictively told the summer sky, and a bluebird answered, “She’s a flirt, she’s a flirt.” “ =m t , THE SENIOR REDHEADED TRIO f cafes = AM Phe ae Pix f OAKLAND’S SKY LINE Prelndé: .c.32344. 60d ete ee 8.

An unusually large assemb- lage of students, alumni, and teachers gathered together for the popular oceasion which was a decided success. Banked greens, streamers. and Chinese lanterns were attractively used for decorations. The Twentieth Century Hall was full of good cheer, joyous music, light hearts and unusu- ally active feet throughout the evening. Music by school talent, the springest of spring floors, and conveniently numerous balconies aided in the genuine success of the affair. Athletic Ball Amid pink and white streamers, Tech pennants, and glossy greenery, a joyous Technical assemblage enjoyed the Athletic Ball Friday evening, November 5, as they had never before enjoyed any informal dance. Some of the sturdy football heroes were there and appeared to appreciate the lull in rigid training rules which bars all dancing. Programs with appropriate cover picturing a football fellow were keenly admired by all of the girls, especially so when filled by the numer- ous and congenial fellows. All members of the reception committee were adorned by purple and gold rosettes topped by a tiny football. Outside, on those balconies which make Twentieth Century Hall so popular, the dancers partook of the delicious punch and gazed at the illuminated big C. A brilliant moon, many stars, entrancing music and just the right number of dancers all lent their aid to the brilliant success of the dance. Senior Farewell Ball On the evening of December tenth, the seniors of Dec. °15, were given their last dance as Technical students. Amid appropriate decorations, to the tunes of entrancing waltzes and like favorites the dancers tripped over the floor in the bliss of the hour but with a lurking sadness at the thought of parting from all the school’s dear associates. Lower classmen and some good old P. Gs. were there to help the departing ones think only of the joys of the dance and forget the sorrows of parting. Every- one of the honored class enjoyed herself and himself to the greatest extent and vowed that even after graduation they would return to every dance next term. This High Senior affair was probably the most successful and most enjoyed of the series of the term. Both faculty and students entered into the spirit of the season and all were merry and congenial. Girls’ Freshman Reception Jollity, clever stunts, and catchy music characterized the Girls’ Fresh- man Reception on the afternoon of October eighth. Tiny Tech pennants and sticks of candy were presented to all Freshmen girls as favors of the occasion. For the first time in the school’s history, boys acted as stage hands and, also for the first time, a coy lad masqueraded himself in and enjoyed the program with the rest of the girls. “A Stolen Birthday Feast” was pantomimed by Miss Crandall’s dra- matic stars in a delightfully amusing manner. Miss Helen Martin won great applause through her eraceful spirited Scottish Sword Dance and Highland Fling. The daintily beautiful and spectacular operetta “A Little Play in Japan” was presented by the girls of the choral classes, under Mrs. Davis’ direction. Celestial maids flitted and fluttered about among the flowers, naughty twins talked saucily, a stern governess reprimanded, while the effective dancing and the beauty and harmony of the piece delighted the audience. Those famous sweethearts, Romeo and Juliet, passed out of this vale of tears with dramatically ridiculous capers and groans. Giggles and screams of laughter from the Freshmen betokened due appreciation of the deeds of Shakespeare’s fond lovers. As a fitting close the hundreds of girls were served ice cream and cake in the cafeteria and further entertained by an hour’s dancing in the gym. Little Maids’ Day Braids, dolls, and coy curls were in great evidence October 6, at Tech- nical. On that first “Little Maids’ Day” in the school’s history all the girls let down their raven or golden tresses, and adorned them with enormous and becoming bows. The “little girls,” carrying beloved dollies and teddy bears, charmed all hearts, faculty’s and teasing masculines’ alike, with their youthful graces. High Senior Party A most delightfully pleasant evening was enjoyed by the class of Dee. °15 at Miss Anna Street’s home on the evening of October 28. Such lively and laughter convulsing games as “My Ship Goes Sailing,” “Charades,” and ‘ ‘Simon Says Thumbs Up” occupied most of the time and kept the usually stately High Seniors in a round of merriment. Music and dancing were part of the other pleasing features of the occasion. Stunts by all those present brought forth loud howls of mirth. Delicious refreshments ended the affair in a most satisfying and happy manner. Beaner Day Amid bonnets of every size, shape, color, or previous conditions of use- fulness, Tech’s semesterly “Beaner Day” passed off September 22 in a truly fashionable setting. All former styles were eclipsed by the neat straw bon- nets, police helmets, apple and kewpie adorned chapeaux, and otherwise modish head pieces exhibited. Gorgeous garden hats were seen near sen- sible freshmen’s embroidered bonnets, while sombreros and “Happy Hooli- van” models caused considerable admiration. CAN YOU PLACE THEM? Chasing Rocks Day Monday, September 30, eight hundred fellows filed out of their major rooms to the Athletic Field and charged across it. As they charged they stooped repeatedly. Each time the boys of every size and class in the school stooped, they picked up the cluttering obstacles which covered the field. The rocky athletic field has been the cruel cause of several bruised knees and elbows to the football fellows. Mr. Fisher’s bright idea of a rock chasing day’solved the problem. The fellows responded to the call and not a single sharp rock remained to mar the outward appearances of any of the honorable football valiants. ER om tS rea if Mila i My i ‘ - AT { .

JAMES GOVAN Yell Leader = BUD ” FENNON HELGE FRANKLIN Assistant Yell Leader Assistant Yell Leader ROOTING ° LL rooting this term has been under the able man- agement-of James Govan. He was assisted by “Bud” Fennon and “Yidd” Franklin. For some intangible reason school spirit this term has not been as intense as it was last semester. Whether this was due to a natural waning of enthusiasm or merely to the late start can not be determined. It is hoped that next term “pep” will again be in the ascendency, and that we will return to the conditions under the “Chick” Jordan administra- tion. Oakland Rally This rally, as might be expected, was the best of the term. “Pep” seemed to be in the air, and the fellows yelled until the Auditorium roof was taxed to its utmost. “Red” Girvin was the first speaker of the meeting. His speech was witty, forceful and at times eloquent. Jimmie Thoburn and “Herb” Garcia followed and expressed their gratitude to the fellows for at last getting behind the team. “Danny” Carroll, Stanford’s captain, gave a witty talk, full of advice and encouragement. He told the boys that if school spirit had anything to do with victories, we would surely defeat Oakland. Mr. Fisher was the next speaker of the day. On behalf of the faculty, he presented a huge basket of flowers to the team. The tin can trio en- livened the gathering with two parodies. et 7, a y ps : : bbl “TECH SPIRIT” The Berkeley Rally A rally was held on November the fourth, during major period, to work up “jazz” for the big game with Berkeley High. The first speaker was Mr. Fisher, who told the team to enter the game confident, and added, “the bigger the enemy are, the harder they fall.” “Deacon” Scott elabo- rated on the advantages of bleacher support. “Jimmie” Thoburn and Captain Garcia gave short, snappy talks in which they asserted that “Tech” had a good “fighting chance.” Mr. Ayres’ subsequent speech was full of humor and enthusiasm. The omnipresent band rendered several numbers, in the approved ragtime style. The Gymnasium Rallies Two minor noon rallies were held in the boy’s gym during Septeim- ber. These rallies were largely for the purpose of bringing the boys together and stimulating the old “pep,” which seemed to be on the wane. At the first of these, “Chick” Jordan, “Doc” Scott, “Herb” Garcia, and “Pop” Ewing spoke. They dwelt on the subject of the relation of school spirit to football. The second rally, a week later, was a pepful affair. Mr. Fisher and “Red” Girvin were the only speakers. “Boost, don’t knock; co-operate and work together” was the gist of Girvin’s talk. Mr. Fisher talked on the proposed cadet company. “PEP” OF TECH’S FAIR ONES OTL TT LTT TT ILL LITA ZZ LLL FAL ILA’, 2 Fee I ee TT eer rrr TL The Athletic Association Jinx At the beginning of this term the school treasury was in a deplorable state. Because of this, football could not receive money enough to satisfy its needs, and the smaller activities were made to suffer accordingly. The Athletic Association answered the desperate “S. O. S.” call with a proposal for a jinx, the proceeds of which should go to the student-body. With the consent of Mr. Fisher arrangements were made, and President Earl Girvin and his able corps of assistants undertook the management of the affair. That success attended their efforts is evidenced by the fact that on the night of Sept. 17, at least two thousand people taxed the capacity of the Auditorium to its utmost. The jinx brought $170 into the school’s coffers. The first number on the program was a band-skit. Mr. Trutner demon- strated that he has under his wing the best group of prep-school musicians in the country. “Dainty” Louise Jorgensen and her eight dancing satellites followed, in a pleasing interpretation of the Terpsichorean art. The Boys’ Glee Club, led by Miss Kummer, brought back gratifying reminiscences of vacation and camp-life. Miss Kummer deserves great credit for the way in which her pupils acted and sang. After the intermission Fred Peterson and Josephine Vercelli, our rising young thes- pians, showed their histrionic powers in that rollicking comedy entitled, “Just as Well.” “Masters of Melody and Princes of Par- LOUISE JORGENSEN AND HER DANCING GIRLS ody,” was an appropriate description of the Floradora Four. “Art” John- son at bass, “Red” Girvin at baritone, Masters at lead, and Bachelor at tenor made a good impression and furnished both harmony and humor. Harold S. Girvin, “The English comedian with the flexible legs,” was undoubtedly the star of the enter- tainment. His acting was mirth-pro- voking in the extreme. We expect to see the youngest member of the Gir- vin family traveling around the Or- pheumi circuit one of these days. Bell, Barrett, and Himes, rounded out the program with a few flips and falls. Their skit elicited much ap- plause from the audience. U. C. GLEE CLUB ENTERTAINS. For the first time in the school’s history, the Low Seniors entertained the High Seniors at a theatre party in HAROLD S. GIRVIN the Auditorium, Friday, December third. At this performance, all High Seniors were the guests of the Low Seniors and showed their pleasure by their approval of the witty and cifted performance. That most talented and most popular of all local musical organizations about the bay, the U. C. Glee Club, called forth the keenest appreciation and the most vigorous applause from the students and their friends. On this same night, the girls’ gym was the scene of unusual activity, for after the program all Seniors repaired to the gym for an informal dancing party. Trimmed with greens and festoons and with flowers of the classes’ colors, the gymnasium resembled a dainty ballroom more than a class room. The floor was as smooth as wax could make it. Delicious refreshments and some unique surprises were keenly enjoyed by the cuests of honor. ISLAND OF COCOTEROS. The “Island of Cocoteros” was successfully presented by the music classes on the evening of November 19. Comedy, fantastic costumes, wondrous scenery, dainty dancing and lively tunes were the features of the performance which was attended by one of the largest audiences the school auditorium has ever accommodated. Accompanied by the school orchestra, the various choruses, dancing girls, and army girls, gave numbers full of harmony, originality and charm. The awkward squad, warranted to be the most awkward ever, convulsed all with their gracelessness and comic drill. Miss Louise Jorgensen won the audience with one of her most graceful dances. Light as a feather on her feet and full of rhythm to her toe tips, she was a picture as she interpreted a Grecian dance with rare talent. Four adorable pipers and two dainty scarf dancers, all in Grecian cos- tumes, delighted the audience with their wildly spirited and graceful group dance. The absent-minded king was well represented by Dick Van Hoosear whose extreme height and deep voice aided in carrying out the leading role. Ida Porris, as queen of the island, was very good, carrying herself with true regal hauteur. Alma, the dainty princess, was becomingly por- trayed by Jean Shane. An American millionaire in search of a beautiful vision was discovered in Victor Sonderleiter. Lillian Ames was the saucy little foster daughter of the king and sweetheart of the captain of the guards. A very Irish and amusing captain of the guards was given by Charles Maher who gave a brogue broad enough to deceive a real son of the Emerald Isle. Full of wit and mischievous capers, the jester, Errol Rose, amused with his funny speeches and song. Harold Arnot, the U. S. Lieutenant, caused quite a commotion when he read his message from “Commissioner of Home Affairs, Herbert Ferguson.” 7 After the program, dancing in the girls’ gym was enjoyed until eleven thirty. Addresses by Outside Speakers DANNY CARROLL. Danny Carroll, Stanford’s foot- ball star, ex-Englishman, and mas- “DANNY ” CARROLL WALTER CHRISTIE’S ADDRESS. “Be straight, walk straight, live straight,” was the gist of the pithy counsel left by Walter Christie, fa- mous athlete and trainer at the University of California, in his clever address of Oct. Ist under the auspices of the Boys’ Athletic Association. Christie, through years of experience and personal contact with all sorts of young men, has become possessed of a wide and varied knowledge of hu- man nature—and its shortcomings. Furthermore, Christie as an ath- lete believes in the straightforward man, and as a result his advice was straight from the shoulder. It was counsel from one who knew-- and a word to the wise is sufficient. ter of three languages, namely, American, English, and Australian, was the principal speaker at the great “pep” rally held before the Tech-Berkeley football Carroll is a past master in the art of pig-skin handling and he ad- dressed most of his remarks to an game. attentive row of huskies in the front row, all of whom acquitted themselves honorably in the game which followed a few hours later. WALTER CHRISTIE LINN MURRAY. The first outside speaker of the term was Linn Murray, Stanford’s clever and remarkable tennis player and third in the list of national champions. His timely advice, given at the beginning of the athletic season, later served as guide posts to Tech’s victorious teams. His advice: “Don’t get the swelled head in case your team forges ahead at the start. Make your progress slow and_ steady. Avoid grand stand and would-be phe- nomenal plays” was easily compre- hended by every member of the audi- ence. LINN MURRAY TALK BY MR. AVERY. “If you have a purpose in life, if you have power, if you have poise, you are bound to make good.” This is the gist of the advice left by Assis- tant Superintendent of Schools Avery, in his address to the Student Body. Mr. Avery made it quite plain that an abundance of power exercised on everything in general and on nothing in particular is as ineffectual as an unharnessed engine; while on the other hand, even a minimum of energy, carefully and well directed toward the attainment of a single object will as surely effect its purpose as the steady dripping of the water wears away the stone. MR. ARMSTRONG’S LECTURE. One of the notable events of the term was the excellent lecture on Australia, New Zealand, and Canada delivered on the evening of Oct. 13 by the Canadian Commissioner to the Exposition, Mr. Armstrong. Such a combination as was served on that memorable evening is a rare treat in- deed. Mr. Armstrong’s ready wit, keen perception, and remarkable abil- ity as a speaker, together with the beautiful motion pictures depicting Canadian wild life, made a most interesting and educational address. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Gale that the services of Mr. Arm- strong were secured, and the unusually large audience that assembled in the Auditorium attested to the worth of the lecture. TER XY EA INECUTIVEBOARD HERBERT FERGUSON HE closing of the 1] present semester ends the first year in the history of our rejuvenated school. Starting last term with a new form of government as well as a new home the Student Body association was occupied in acquainting themselves with the new conditions getting started. During the present term, the Student Officials, as well as the faculty, have been kept busy in endeavoring to meet the needs of a rapidly growing Student Body. This has been a hard task and one which will take time to perfect, but I feel that we have worked successfully to- wards that end. (Signed) HERBERT FERGUSON. R. MATHIESEN R. GLEASON R. LINDGREN P.

Last J hk AY term meetings were held during the noon hour and were { 7 Py } poorly attended. The untiring work of President Earl | ey Girvin secured Major Period for this term’s meetings, and at insured the attendance of every boy in the school. on lie Several noteworthy achievements have marked the progress of this body. First and foremost was the Athletic Jinks on September 17. The purpose of this performance was to raise money to swell the depleted student body fund. President Girvin and the various committees co- operated and the result far eclipsed their fondest hopes. ‘Twenty-two hundred people, the largest audience the auditorium has ever held, at- tended the show. The returns amounted to about $170. On August 13, R. Lindley Murray, the Stanford track and _ tennis wonder, addressed the association. His speech elicited much applause. About October the first, Walter Christie, the famous U. C. trainer, gave a wonderful talk full of kindly advice and admonition. The fellows en- joyed it thoroughly. The field of this body’s activities is gradually expanding. In future years we expect to see the Athletic Association become a real force in the school, and an agent in promoting the students’ welfare and happiness. TheGirls’ Athletic Association gIHIS organization was established ¥4| several years ago by a group of we 66 oars : ej| enterprising “Poly” girls. Since its inception, it has been a real force in the athletic affairs of this school, and has won the appreciation of both the faculty and the student body. The association has been fortunate indeed this term in having such an able president as Agnes Dunning. Miss Covey, acting in the capacity of advisor, has been of almost ines- timable service. The first meeting this semester was held in September. The new president called the meeting to order in the girls’ gym, and told the members of the association to go out for athletics, support ‘all the “Tech” activities, and thus gain fame and health. A _ well- prepared speech by the secretary-elect fol- lowed. The crux of Gladys Odell’s talk was this: “Freshman girls, gain the real ‘Tech’ spirit!” Miss Covey’s talk was full of kindly advice and admonition and was well received hy the girls.

The purpose of the society was explained by its founder, to make the study of history and applied science used for practical service. The students were convinced that to become a good citizen, able to improve the conditions in their surroundings, requires a thorough knowledge of past history and also the knowledge of other environments so as to be able to get ad- vice and help from past experiences. To see how well the purpose of the society has been realized, it is only necessary to note its growth. In October, the society celebrated its first anniversary in the assembly. Mr. Fisher, who presided, remarked that in the twelve months of its existence, the society had succeeded in attaining the honor of being the leading factor of the school. About four hun- dred, mostly members, were present. Up to this time the department of history has increased from one hun- dred and sixty to four hundred and twenty and is still growing. During the first year, the society participated in about twenty excursions to differ- ent museums and departments of the University of California where the students were treated with lectures given by well known professors of the university. Over six hundred members have attended the lectures. The scientific work was always followed by a picnic. The officers of this term are: Mr. J.

Mr. Williamson, the teacher who has charge of this body, alone deserves all the credit for its organization and development. Last sem- ester the Forum’s activity consisted of short de- bates and discussions in which all the members participated. The first meeting this term was held in early September after Mr. Williamson had addressed the society on the California Debating League. It was decided to join this organization subsequently. An appropriation of ten dollars for debating was received from the Executive Board. The Forum issued a chal- lenge to Mr. Korski’s proteges of the Historical Society, which was accepted. The question for this debate is, “Resolved, that only persons shall be elected or appointed to public offices who have had special training.” OFFICERS.

They studied such songs as “O Tannenbaun,” “Die Lorelei,” “Haidenroslein,” and the popular folk song “Ach, du lieber Augustine.” The Club also has a very efficient entertainment committee of which Mariam Gross is the chairman, and Edwin Rissberger and Elaine Craven her assistants.

Heretofore the senior classes have been accommodated in one major room, but this term low seniors have been sepa- rated and may be found in any of half a dozen different rooms. This and the fact that about a third of their number have classes at major have made it rather difficult , : to call meetings. Nevertheless this large and presioent ss enthusiastic class has had some exciting and beneficial meetings. This very businesslike and enthusiastic class voted adornments for their honorable selves in the shape of artistic and unique pins set with pearls. As a further adorn- ment to the whole class colors of old rose and white were selected to distinguish them from other organizations.

The committee has various other duties to perform, such as selling locker keys or issuing permits to the locker rooms, taking care of lost and found articles, and selling tickets for the numerous school functions.

The pur- pose of this body is to aid the young machinists to cope with some of the practical problems incurred in our ma- chine shop. The first meeting was held early in Septem- ber. -The club was fortunate indeed in electing a president with the calibre of Claude Girvin. In October, a trip was taken to the famous Judson Iron Works. The boys spent nearly four hours looking at the colossal machinery. A trip to the Standard Oil Company’s plant is contem- plated. This club, although in its infancy, has already taken a leading place in school organ- izations.

This is not so; the Club was not organized to raise money but to enable fellows with bicycles to become acquainted. Each term the Club takes long trips. This term we have taken trips to Dublin, Big Lake Chabot, and Niles. The Club promises a wonderful future and it is expected that next term there will be seventy-five members. On almost every trip the riders have a good feed of some kind. Don’t be bashful in joining this Club, because much pleasure is assured.

A musical, which was a wonderful success, was given on October 20, to pay for the number discs for our auditorium. The orchestra and a number of its individual musicians gave an interesting and well rendered program. Any student who plays an instrument should take advantage of Mr. Trutner’s tutorship in the orchestra. We have the same instrumentation that comprises the Boston Symphony or any of the other well-known orchestras. The Band Although somewhat crippled at the first of the year by the loss of a few of its best members, the band has made wonderful progress. We are extremely lucky, this term, in having Mr. Trutner direct our band every day. Previously he was here only two days out of the week. The Concert given in our auditorium, October 19, to pay for the uni- forms was entirely a success. The fact that the name “Technical High Band,” is known outside of our own circle is shown in the way they have been asked to play for outside festivities. They were well received when they played at the Civic Auditorium for the Baby Show on October 15. So far the band has mad e only one trip to the Fair. Last term a number of concerts were given at various places in the Exposition and were appreciated. The Girls’ Glee Club GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Photo by W.

When the Operetta was given, the Glee: Club was again called on to supply the chorus and also to fill some of the principal parts. Although the Exposition chorus was composed of the three high schools, the large majority of the boys were from Technical. Every fellow in school, irrespective of his class, is eligible to membership and is invited to join at the beginning of next term.

Our 1915 record is undoubt- eee edly a source of pride to the students. Cap- tain Garcia served the school well this term as football skipper. He was unquestionably instrumental in the team’s success. To Coach Thoburn no fitting tribute could be paid. “Our Jimmy,” in the short space of three months, took a bunch of new material and converted it into an aggregation of stars. He can truly be termed Tech’s “miracle man.” His success will stand out in fu- ture years as his monument. In several ways our team is an ideal combination. The forwards’ weight does not impair their speed, while the backfield is light enough to possess speed, and yet heavy enough to present a formidable defense. With our phenomenal bunch of fighting forwards and our lightning back- field composed of deadly tacklers, it is little wonder our opponents spent many sleepless nights. Under Garcia’s guiding influence and Thoburn’s admirable coaching, the team became filled with the fighting spirit—the spirit that character- ized basketball and baseball last term. Unfortunately, Dame Fortune did not smile on us, and hard luck seemed to follow in our wake all season. First Garcia, the backbone of the team and the pivot of the backfield, was laid up. Then a veritable epidemic of injuries and sickness followed, until “Big Chick” Jordan held down the lock position. You would al- ways find “Chick” on top of the ball. Captain-elect “Skip” Starrett was the best breakaway in the county. Although somewhat light, he out- played many larger opponents. “Vinnie” Irish’s work, at left breakaway, was little short of phenomenal. Irish has a happy faculty of scoring, when points are needed. Veteran Van de Peer and Young Dougherty worked at rear rank. They were the boys who gave our scrum its wonderful “heave.” “Joe” Bush played a great game at half-back. He certainly is a comer, and with his speed and natural ability should be one of the bright stars next season. every player at some time during the season was forced to quit prac- ticing for an extended period of time. We entered the Oakland game with three of our men crip- pled. Although we lost the county championship by a margin of four points, we are not discouraged. The outlook for 1916 is promising indeed, with eleven veterans and “Skip” Starrett, as captain. Are not the prospects pleasing? So go get “em, boys, and may your efforts be crowned with successful achievements. THE TEAM. Patterson and Hogeman as front- rankers were a hard combination to outhook. They both possessed speed and an abundance of fight. Captain Garcia, undoubt- edly the best man in the entire backfield, held down the first-five post. His sensational work was the feature of every game in which he participated. “Herb’s” graduation will leave a big gap to fill. “Bobby” Smale played the difficult position of outside five. Bobby plays a heady game, and success- fully combines his speed with his sterling defense. Freshman McMeekin was the big find of the year. He was picked for the county all-star team. His ability to back up plays added materially to the defensive strength of the team. We were lucky in having two wings of the calibre of Calden and Torgersen. Guy is a speed demon, while “Snowy’s” “beanwork” and tackling is highly commend- able. On the last line of defense we had Claude Girvin. Girvin’s boot often brought the bleacherites to their feet. His defense is of the stellar brand. We expect great things from Claude in 1916. Last, but by no means least, comes “Johnnie” Black, our great wing forward. Black’s coaching helped “Jimmy” out to a great extent. His steadying influence was felt in every game. Black is the most experienced man on the team and his playing showed the result of years of hard training. Mention must be made of the substitutes. “Kenny” Reid, “Phil” Dalton, Silvas, Hewson, Smith, and Peter- son came out each day and practiced faithfully. Their work aided the team materially, and they certainly deserved credit. 120 POUND TEAM. Probably the most successful of Tech’s football teams this term was the 120 pounders. They were an aggregation of fighting youngsters and vanquished all comers. There is certainly a fine lot of future material in this squad and if they keep going as they did this year, every man will be a star. THE SEASON. Tech 13, San Francisco Poly 11 The first game of the season was played with San Francisco Poly. In the first half, due to second team’s inability to stop the attack, Poly scored 11 points. With the varsity men playing we speedily piled up a two point lead in the second half. TECH SECOND VARSITY. The Tech Second Team did not have a very successful season this term. Most of the men were new to the game and this, combined with poor team work, made the games a little slow and uninterest- ing. Yet repeated defeats did not discourage the fellows, as every game was gone into with a determ- ination upon their part to fight until the last whistle blew. The line up of the team was: G. Black, Barnes, Lawson, Gillis, Hollister, Peterson, Megr., Miller, Capt., forwards; Kilpatrick, Fen- non, Ledgett, Franklin, Eggleston, Parrish, Young, Black, and “Red” Girvin, backs. FOOTBALL, THAT’S ALL Tech 35, Lick 0 Working in big-league form the Tech men overwhelmed Lick. The work of the forwards was very en- couraging. Garcia and Black star- red, each scoring twice. Tech 14, San Jose 0 San Jose came, saw and were conquered. On September 18 we severely trounced the Garden City boys to the tune of 14 to 0. The wonderful teamwork of the back- field was in evidence throughout the entire game. Captain “Herbie” continued his grand work, being responsible for at least eight points. Tech 0, Stanford Freshmen 14 Jimmy Thoburn took his protegees down to Stanford to engage the Cardinal “babes.” This proved to be one of the hardest games scheduled for the Freshmen. We were defeated, but the team’s sterling defense gladdened “Jimmy’s heart. Tech 16, Napa 0 The footballers took a trip to Napa and played rings around the Napa High ruggers. The score was 16 to 0 and this does not repre- sent our superiority. The boys outplayed their country opponents from start to finish. Tech 0, Stanford (3) 11 The Purple and Gold again bowed to the Cardinal when our team, composed of second- team players and cripples, journeyed to the “farm” in October, and met the Stanford thirds. It was a very close game, and the personnel of the team accounts for our defeat. Tech 10, Oakland 5 For the first time in a decade, the colors of “Tech” waved over the dead hopes in Oakland graves. We won 10 to 5 and what glorious victory it was! The rooters backed the team, and the team back ed Tech’s ath- letic reputation. “Vinnie” Irish carried the ball over for our first try. Hall, Oakland second five, swerved pass Hewson our opponents’ only try. With but five minutes to play, Dougherty dove over the line scoring the remaining points. It was a grand game, and surely a battle royal from start to finish. Tech 11, Berkeley 15 _ In the big championship game with Berkeley, “Tech” was nosed out by a margin of four points. It was a hard game to lose. After the game, the Berkeley boys magnanimously stated that they were unquestionably outplayed. They added that the ab- sence of three stars, and a crippled team accounted for their poor show- ing. Irish, the ubiquitous one, made our first try. Then Peterson, McKech- nie, and Chalmers of Berkeley scored. Their tries were all converted. When the second half was on the wane, Irish again plunged across the line. Black in some way broke loose, and made a thrilling touch-down after carrying the ball fifty yards. He then converted, this bringing the score up BUSH and REID to 11 to 15. “TEXAS” IN ACTION WITH THE BALL McKECHNIE, OF BERKELEY, SWERVES nae oe aa Z ta d te .

This term girls’ tennis has advanced to a higher position in the strata of girls’ athletics. Tennis try-outs were held in early September and a large number of girls responded to Miss Covey’s call for aspirants. Ilane Taylor, as captain, has served the team faithfully this semester. It was through her arduous work and influence that eight courts were finally procured. Every Wednesday you may see about 20 girls assiduously driving the ball over the net. Ruth Gleason managed the team this term. Under her able administration two tournaments were held. Girls’ Basketball While across the bay a few days ago, I met an old friend of mine. Since she knew my intense interest in athletics, our conversation naturally drifted that way. “By the way,” she began, “What branch of athletics do the girls take most interest in this semester?” “Well,” I said, “All athletics are popular at “Tech,” but I think it can safely be said that basketball is prominent.” She looked surprised and continued, “That’s queer. Why, in our school such little interest is shown in basketball that we are beginning to look at it as a dead sport.” “What seems to be the trouble?” I asked. “You know that it takes forwards to make up a team,” she answered. I certainly did know that. I often wondered what we should do with- out our star goals, Captain Strobridge, Lena Feurea and Georgera Brooks. Their splendid playing is unquestionable. “Then,” she went on, “so few girls show up that we haven’t enough to pick a team from, to say nothing of trying to pick guards.” Wonders never seemed to cease in my conversation with her. “Why, I really don’t see how it can be difficult to pick guards. We had a num- ber of tryouts for that position, but after watching the sterling playing of Ruby Fisher, Evelyn Sicotte and Marie Cothiurst, we were well satisfied that our guards are as strong as they could possibly be.” Then rather abruptly, “What position do you play?” she asked. “Oh, I play center along with Bessie Bradford and Doris Dwyer, who is touch.” “T don’t see how you can have such a splendid team without any assistance,” she said. “Why, don’t think for one moment that success would have been ours if it had not been for Miss Covey, our physical instructor. She takes so much interest in it that the girls can’t help being interested themselves. Under her untiring efforts, we have not only managed to pick a first team but a second team also.” “Well.” she said, “You certainly are fortunate in having so fine a team that is full of life and pep.” When she bade me good-bye my gaze still wandered her way. I could not helping thinking how any school could have a basketball team that was not full of spirit and pep. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Girls’ Rowing “Pep!” “School Spirit!” To whom can those terms be applied? Is there any one in the school that does not know the meaning of them? Well then, put on your duds and get up when the dawn of day is just breaking, and saunter down to Lake Merritt. You will spy a crew. And it must be said right here that it is the only crew on the lake so early in the morning. You will wonder what girls have “pep” enough to be out practicing so early in the morning, and able to skim along the lake with such speed and evenness. Well, they are none other than Tech Girls practicing for the coming so called Bulletin race, in which a silver cup will be given to the best skilled crew. Surely there is no one in this school that can say for one moment that the Girls’ rowing crew hasn’t done just as much as any other athletic . organization in this school. Each class should have a crew. The Freshmen responded faithfully. When they organized they elected Katherine Wilkinson Captain, and Doris Dwyer Manager. Sophomores! Where is your “pep?” Why haven’t you responded? The Juniors and the Seniors combined and elected Xena Wright Captain and Gladys Odell Manager. Officers for each class crew have worked hard. The crew that will line up for the coming race includes: Aileen Williamson =. ye eee - - Pilot Minnie Brodke - : : - - Coxswain GIRLS’ ROWING CREW ‘uopi0sy) AUTY ‘SUIZSIAY UOTIeP ‘IYpoig eIuUUI;, ‘YOoIqaToOF] eUIN] ‘UBUTOST AY BIBG—MOI WOO “ISA, Busy ‘9IARG BISNSNy ‘piojpesg sissog ‘[[2pO sApe[yH ‘uops0s AePY—Mor doy— qys11 01 IIT AAYO STHID Tennis THE TECH TENNIS TEAM R. BENJAMIN H. HOEY F. MARX HE tennis interclass was held this term. It was well supported, there being a large number of entries. The interclass con- sisted of singles and doubles. The singles won by the Fresh- men, represented by Fitzgerald Marx, and the doubles by the Juniors, represented by Robert Benjamin and Henry Hoey. The interclass brought out some good players, who will undoubtedly be heard from in the future. BASE-BALL Baseball last semester was very successful. This school turned out the best nine in the county, and lost the Northern State Championship only after a hard and determined fight against odds and adverse conditions. Prospects for next season are bright indeed. Because of the four-year rule Garcia will not be able to catch, but we have a backstop of high calibre in “Duke” Lind- gren, the clever Swede. “Tub” McClure will in all probability return to school. This will strengthen us CODINGTON on the slab. With a bunch of men aspiring for first Baseball’ Star base, Manager Kreuckel on second, “Duffy” Gerlach on short, and Mitchell, the O.H.S. star, on third, we will have a classy infield. “Bobby” Smale, “Snowy” Torgersen, Johnny Paulino, Barney and Freitas will all be out contesting for places in the outfield.

The various meets were enthusiastically attended and a large bunch of fellows aspired to places on the team. Because of a bit of hard luck we lost a meet to Oakland by the narrow margin of six points. Our school scored ten points in the Stanford Inter- schoolastic. Guy Calden was unquestionably the find of the last season. He is undoubtedly the best high school sprinter and broad jumper in Northern California. Johnny Black, “Skip” Starret, Elmer Schwarz, “Red” Girvin, and “Fully” Hewson also did good work last term. SKET- BALL Next term basketball faces a serious problem. Three of the members of our 1915 championship team have graduated. “Mush” Hjelte, the giant center whose work spelled defeat for many hopeful opponents, is no longer with us. Boyer and Lorrimer, a combination of for- wards whose teamwork was of the flashy brand, have departed via the graduation route. Our two stellar guards, however, Captain Irish and Manager Miller, are still with us and will form a strong nucleus for next year’s team. The inter-class which was held, brought out some fine material and it is hoped that the fellows will support the 1916 team as they supported the 1915 Champions.
