CLASS HISTORY =)ND it came to pass that in the fall of the year of our Lord 1 1912 there entered an old, but noble building on Twelfth and Market Streets in the city of Oakland, some two hundred 3) students, termed by their elders, “Freshies.” Now these “Freshies” were put into the charge of Miss Hampel who bestowed upon them much good advice. Following this advice and the example set by their elders, they produced satisfying reports and the girls’ Freshman team was awarded numerals for basketball victories. Arriving at the age of “Sophs” they tugged the Freshmen over the “Poly Campus” (the middle of Market street) in a tug of war. They became Low Juniors, organized and elected Milton Earley president, and Lucy Bradley secretary. A class luncheon featured by toasts, solos, and good things to eat was followed by an informal dance. And as the years rolled by some of the original members left the class and some new ones entered, until, in the fall of the year 1915 as Low Seniors they were the largest class in the history of the school. Colors of old rose and white and distinctive pins were adopted. A con- cert by the University of California Glee Club was held by the class in the school auditorium with the High Seniors as guests of honor. An in- formal dance in the girls’ gym followed to further honor the upper class. As High Seniors, members of the class were prominent in all the organizations and activities of the Student Body. Early in the term the High Senior girls held a successful candy sale for the benefit of the rest room fund. On May 6th a tug ride on the good ship “Zone” to El Campo was a jolly and lively event, from the casting off at the home wharf to the return by moonlight as the musicians played “Perfect Day.” As guests of the Low Seniors on the 13th of May, the class was entertained at the Nile Club. Last and the best of all, came the Senior Farewell dance at the Claremont Hotel when everything was done to carry out the class color scheme and to make it the most original and successful dance of the term. And so with colors flying and music playing the rest of the school joined in with the graduates to make it a memorable farewell. Class Officers First Term Class Officers Second Term.

Not having met since graduation, they ray | decided to spend the evening together and discuss their old seer After dining, they visited the apartments of a well-known q Y) seer who made his headquarters in Oakland, in order to find out what had become of their old classmates. The seer had a large crystal into which he looked intently while he spoke as follows: “The vision clears and I see a woman—it is Myrtle Marshall—she is studying the violin in Berlin. Louise Jorgensen is also in Berlin where she is conducting a ballet school. I see in New York Gladys Barnum, who is the leading lady in Zieg- field Follies, and El izabeth Cooper who is a star in the Famous Players. Edith Case and Grace Wilson are conducting a bookstore in Brazil, and Edith Sterne is in the Philippines lecturing to the Igorrote women on the political and social emancipation of women. 1 see now the busy streets of Oakland. A large store bearing the name of Mlle. Silverman’s Select Shop of Parisian gowns and novelties attracts my eye. The Vercelli Dramatic School occupies the top floor of the Trust Building, and Allison Parry, the national secretary for the W. C. T. U., has her offices in the building. I see the department store of H. C. Capwell Co. where Frieda Weber is employed as head buyer and has just returned from a trip to Paris. Also, Irene Pollok, who is designing some of the gowns. I see the University of California—there are Macie Kenney and Anita Coffey helping Mr. Ayres in his chemical research work, and Ruth Gleason, an instructor in girls’ athletics. I see now—Muir Glacier in Alaska where Helen Egan is leading a hiking expedition and Augusta Davie is managing it. Amy Gordon is teaching in Nome. I see—I see a large pig ranch and its owner, Lucy Bradley is known as the woman hog producer of California. Her ranch is called “Hog Wallow.” Blanch Meyers and Armida Bignami, the famous women detectives, have succeeded in finding her lost hogs that were stolen last summer. . I see in the South—Marguerite Dwyer as a social secretary for a multi-millionaire, and Cora Peterson, private secretary of a prominent society woman. In the column of a daily paper is the wedding announce- ment of Alice Buteau, written by Rosalie Cogorno, society editor. I see again in Oakland—Katherin Mills and Ethel Pryor in their remarkable ballet offering at the Macdonough, and Hazel Nisbet and her family in the audience. Now I see Oakland Technical High School where three of your class are teaching—they are Bernice Arnold. Ruth Morton, and Adelaide Harlow who is the head of the domestic arts. He gazes thoughtfully into his crystal, then continues: Now appear before me the former boy graduates.” “I see a great institution of learning. It is Harvard University. I see two learned professors engaged in deep consultation. One is Prof. Skinner, the other, Prof. Connitt. The scene shifts. It is the stage of a high class vaudeville theater. I see a young man named Nelson, billed as the greatest since Paderewski, giving a piano recital. The cur- tain falls. It rises again and I see the great Shakespearian actor Walde- mar Neilsen, next on the program. He presents a few scenes from his most famous successes. Again the curtain falls and an entirely different setting takes form. It is the political world, and immediately the name of Herbert Garcia comes before me. He is one of the most powerful men in the country, the Speaker of the House of Representatives. I move across the Atlantic and I find the name of Russell Lindgren, American ambassador to Sweden. I come back to our own State and I see the name of Mayor Sam Phillips of Sacramento. Now I seem to be wandering among athletic luminaries. I see “Bob” Hutchison making a reputation for himself and club as athletic director of the Oakland Y. M. C. A. I find the name of Milton Earley prominent among the sporting writers of the land. He writes for the Hearst papers and seems to be busily engaged in giving publicity and attention to “Knockout” Jessen, the young lightweight champion. And now I see other well known names in the journalistic field. I see James Cleary as editor of the Kansas City Star, which is owned and managed by Milton Bulkley. Going farther east I find Charles Horton as the cartoonist of the New York American. And serving not only these, but all of the im- portant newspapers in the United States is a great firm, the International Film Service, of which Samuel Herman is the head. Once more the scene changes and I am in the business section of this city. I pass by a huge department store which bears the name of Louis Lesser and Company. Next door is an immense grocery store, the largest and finest in the West, and only one of the many stores of R. S. McDon- ald and Company. Next to this is a smaller, but very well equipped store devoted to the hair goods businesss. Over the door is the name of T. Mooney. Farther up the street, | come to a large bank and office build- ing containing the Schwartz Security Bank. The list of tenants in its offices contains the names of Grant Du Bois, broker, Marcus Crocker, head of the Crocker Matrimonial Agency, and Harold Weeks, the archi- tect. Part of the ground floor is occupied by the offices and agency of Carl Riegelman, the famous traveler, and head of the “Riegelman Tours for Tired Teachers.” Next door is the Reid Drug Company of which Kenneth Reid is the head. I pass from the business district now and seem to be getting into the Auto Row. I come to a magnificent building, and, in large letters over the ground floor I see the title, “Complex Motor Co., Guy Calden, local distributer.” Gazing through the plate-glass windows of the spa- cious agency I see Mr. Calden himself explaining the superiority of the Complex Car to Ross Mack, the president of the Mack Music Company. A few blocks below there is a beautiful park and here a large crowd is gathered, listening to Vernon Ferry’s Band. After passing to the manu- facturing district I see the Chevrolet Automobile factory where Francis Weaver is chief engineer and Fritz Schuler his assistant. Across the way is the Harley Davidson motorcycle factory of which Robert Fones is chief engineer.” The seer rubs his hand over his eyes once or twice. “The vision is growing rather disconnected and vague,” he says. “I seem to see the United States Army with Major-General Bryan Shid- ler in command, also Walter Welch, head of the wireless department of both the Army and Navy. I am getting rather confused. I seem to be in the tropics, in Guatemala. | find the name of a great mining engineer here, Vernon Taylor. The vision now takes me back to our own coun- try again and | see a prosperous looking farm. The owner, Francis Coyle, is standing on the wide veranda of the house talking to Walter Bolles, a tramp who has applied for work on this farm. He seems—ah! The vision has faded. I can reveal nothing further to you, my friends. LESLIE EAGAR. WALTER BOLLES. Poe es ef Vlas Mkigbe Kg ; Z iia ge COAT) MU!

Wilbur Eber Ss} ONGFELLOW has said that the setting of a hope is like the setting of the sun. If this is so, it should cause no great grief or anxiety, for what is more promising and hopeful than the colored sky at the close of day? There is scarcely a person who has not heard that a red sunset is a positive indication of a bright, clear morrow. We watch for it at twilight and rejoice when we see the flame color spreading over the horizon. And it was so with the girl, who sat on a horse on an old mountain trail, her lips parted and her eyes half closed, as she breathed deeply the pure air and watched the beautiful sky. Soft, billowy clouds, their edges a faint rose shading into delicate pink and white, floated around in a semi-circle, where the great, fiery sun had disappeared from sight. Nearer the horizon the color was a vivid red—that red which when painted in pictures appears exaggerated, but fascinating and beautiful at times. Here and there it was streaked with yellow and brilliant orange, giving a hint of the oriental. To the east the mountains were purple, the rocks showing against them a dull red. Far away to the north the last rays of the departed ball shone on snow-capped peaks, bringing out a contrast with the hazy blue of the hills. At sunset, as at moonrise, we see things in a different light: every- thing is changed and we regard both in awe. It was so with the girl. “King,” she breathed to the horse, “isn’t it beautiful? Why, it looks almost sacred. I feel that we human beings have no right to watch it, for it seems but for the gods. It wouldn’t be very surprising to see Diana floating down from yonder peak, or to see Neptune waving his arms above that mountain lake, would it? You’d rather expect it, wouldn’t you, King?” And her voice trailed off into a whisper. The colors were gradually fading, and mellow twilight began to creep in. The trees in the distance grew black and their outlines melted into the shadow. The winding trail down the mountain could still be dis- cerned faintly, but here and there it was lost completely in the shadows of the thick brush. The splendor of the day was dying. The silent darkness creeping in and the muffled whir of the night hawks seemed a death knell of the parting day. The girl shivered slightly and pulled the reins. “Come, King,” she said, “it’s getting late.” The horse understood, and with the sure-footedness of a mountain goat, the animal picked his way slowly down the dim, rocky path. The trail was narrow, barely three feet wide in some places, but the horse was sure and the girl un- afraid. After many turns and much careful walking, the valley trail was reached, and, with a soft measured tread, the horse’s feet sank into the moist earth. Darkness was setting in fast, and she urged the animal forward with a gentle pressure of the reins. In silence, now and then broken by the hoot of an owl, she found herself uttering those touching lines from “Crossing the Bar.” “Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me 29 She paused, and in that pause, a beautiful melody from the opera “Tl Trovatore,” carried by a rich tenor, floated to her through the trees. “Ah, I have sighed to rest me, Deep in the quiet grave, Sighed to rest me. But all in vain I crave, Oh, fare thee well, My Leonora, fare thee well.” She stopped her horse, straining her ear to catch the notes of the plaintive song, and, as the last clear note died away, she sat staring into the black trees trying to pierce the dense foliage, to discern the singer behind it. But it was futile, so she urged her horse on, alert to every sound. As she pushed King toward the lake, which she had seen from the mountain, a man arose from the ground. The girl was startled for an instant, but she soon recovered Hierself. “T beg your pardon,” she addressed him, “but was it you who sang just a moment ago?” The moon was shining on his face and she saw him nod. “It was beautiful,” she murmured, “I have not heard such music in years, and it sounded so good to me.” She smiled, then continued hesitatingly: “T wonder if you would sing it again for me. There are times, you know, when you feel that heavy feeling coming over you—that forerun- ner of the blues.” A curious scene; a lake, a full moon, a man and a girl, the latter asking a favor of a person she had never seen before. Stranger things have happened though, and it seemed in keeping with the rest, when the man straightened his shoulders, threw back his head and repeated the song. The girl listened for every part, her lips parted and her soul shining in her eyes. They rested for a moment, the man standing there beside her horse. R “I thank you very much,” she said, and, when he did not answer, she added, “You didn’t mind my asking you?” He looked her squarely in the eyes and shook his head. “No, I didn’t mind. It rather touched my vanity,” and then he laughed. It was one of those low, deep laughs which seem to originate in the chest, and gradually rise to the lips and eyes,—the kind that makes your own eyes wrinkle at the corners. One could not mistake the character of the person who owned it. “We are all burdened with a bit of vanity anyway,” he went on; “one has but to touch the secret spring to reveal us as we really are.” “I believe you’re right,” she said at length. “It’s the supreme test that proves the “stuff” we are made of. She was studying the man closely, her eyes narrowed to needle points. Quite suddenly she swung | herself from her horse, and going over to his side, grasped him firmly by the wrist. “Gene French,” she said in a low tone but very distinctly, “I place you under arrest.” “And by whose authority?” She threw back her coat and for an instant a silver star flashed in the moonlight. vAs sherift olga spe ae County, Wyoming.” She was all business now, and not a sign of the former mood was in evidence. He looked at her with new interest. “Steve Maddan, eh?” She nodded, and he continued to gaze at her, his free hand resting on his hip. “So you're the noted and bragged of Steve Maddan! The terror of the outlaws, and the savior of... County.” He laughed and turned away. “And to think Gene French was taken so unawares,” he confided to the lake. Well it’s always the unexpected that happens.” She had released his wrist and now he held out both hands, waiting for her to snap on the handcuffs. The sheriff of County hesi- tated. She had not expected this badly reputed gambler and lawbreaker to yield so graciously. “You will not take advantage if I do not?” she inquired, her eyes on his face. “T give you my word of honor I will not,” he replied. “Vl take you at your word.” She reached for her bridle and prepared to mount. “Have you a horse here?” He laughed, his brows elevated. “And have you ever heard of a full- fledged outlaw who does not have a horse, and a gun about his person?” “Oh! guns, to be sure.” The song had utterly upset her. She was about to ask him for his firearms, but it seemed useless, when he had given his word not to take advantage of his freedom. “I have no guns,” he said. It was strange, but she did not doubt him. Again she asked him if he had a horse, and without answering her, he gave a short whistle. There was a crackle of twigs, and a horse came through the trees, straight toward the man.. “Well, it happened, Pilot,” he said to a spotted brown and white pony, that had now come to a stop. “We are in the hands of the law now—caught by a slip of a girl.” He seemed wholly unconscious of any presence other than that of the horse. “If I had not sung that song, Pilot, we would have been across the border by morning; but.we have to face the music now, and there is no use kicking.” He drew a long breath and turned to the girl. “We are ready.” With a swift movement she mounted her horse. He followed her example and together they made their way down the valley, the captor and the captive. Neither spoke. She was wondering how this frank, open-faced man could have held up an express train, killed two people, and made a clean get-away with ten thousand dollars. At moments when the moon shone on his face, she tried to make out lines of selfishness, cruelty and deceitfulness, but noth- ing on the serene face betrayed it. The man, in turn, was wondering how this girl—for she could not have been more than twenty-eight—could possibly be the wary Steve Maddan. To be sure, he knew the sheriff of__........... County was a woman, but he had not expected to find her so young. He had supposed she was a six-footer, lean and sharp of countenance, wearing chaps, armed to the teeth with guns, and hailing all her friends with an imita- tion warwhoop. He could not imagine her appreciating “Il Trovatore.” “A Hot Time in the Old Town,” he would have attributed more to her taste. But his thoughts had misled him, and, instead, he found a well- bred young woman, who recognized good music, whose voice was low, and whose attire was of the simplest sort. Above all, she was straight to the point. He had liked the straight-forward way she had placed him under arrest. “Why do they call you Steve Maddan?” he asked. “Well, that’s my name.” “But,” he argued, “Steve is not a girl’s name.” She laughed. “No, I don’t think that it is. One may add a suffix, you know, and THE SPIRIT OF HIS MUSIC By Addison Parry ge} WAS at one of those delightfully intimate after-concert teas, i] which Prof. Munch is so fond of giving, that the question came up. Some one had asked if we thought a person raised in one place could do as good work if transplanted to another. Pietro Myro said they could and brought up his own life to prove it; and as we looked at him lolling in his chair before the fire, I be- lieve more than half of us agreed with him. If Pietro Myro, violinist and society’s pet, ever thought of his Italy he never spoke of it. If he ever dreamed of her sunshine and flowers he never showed it. But little Mrs. Clay who sat opposite me raised her shining face and spoke. “Oh, yes, I think it would make a difference. There would be some- thing missing in his work. Maybe we all wouldn’t notice it, but it would be there calling him back.” Instinctively we glanced at Pietro, but he was looking into the fire and did not turn. Only I, as the rest turned away again, saw him open his mouth as if to speak, and then pause. And in that pause someone else spoke up. “What do you think about it, Professor?” Pietro sank back, the mom ent had passed, and only I had known, about it. Prof. Munch set down his tea cup and paused. “Yes, I have thought about the same question. I will tell you a story that came into my life a short time ago. Maybe it will settle the question for some of you as it did for me.” And so with the blue light of evening outside, and the red glow of the fire inside, Prof. Munch began the story. Pietro lay in his easy chair, his eyes closed, his expression almost bored, while across from me leaned Mrs. Clay, her brown eyes twinkling and every line on her face aglow. “One day five years ago a friend of mine, a great hunter and sports- man extended to me an invitation to go on a hunting trip with him. I accepted knowing that a trip with such a man would be worth while. Al] the known water ways of Canada and the mountain passes were open ways to him. He suggested the region north of the Great Lakes and I readily acquiesced. For a month we tramped about its wildernesses, and we turned the bow of our canoe farther north for we had learned at our last stopping place, an old-time garrison but now more of an Indian reservation, of a camp far up the head-waters of the Ladieur. Few out- siders, we were told, had ever been there; and that in itself incited my friend. For two weeks we went up the pleasant valley of the Ladieur, and then the farms began to be less frequent and the shrubbery thicker. Three weeks more we struggled up, our guide grumbling and threatening to kill the boy we had hired at the garrison. It was easy to see why the place was not known. It had taken two expert Indian guides and an old time hunter five weeks to reach it. When we did come up on it I was al- most disappointed, but my friend was delighted. A half circle of cabins greeted us. In front a totem pole reared its ghastly head. I do not know what would have become of us had it not been for the boy. We were taken in with suspicious looks and mutterings. The people were most primitive. White people had been there, as was seen by the cabins, but everywhere was filth and the lowest form of civilization. I could not sleep that night. I turned on the pile of brush and dirty skins. And then suddenly I seemed to be dreaming. From outside the music of a violin crept in. I sat up and listened. That anyone here should have a violin seemed unbelievable. Finally I rose and tip-toed to the door. From across the great stillness, that we of a city never know, the notes of a violin came, clear and long drawn out. Cautiously I descended the small incline on the side of the village which sloped to the river and from which the sound seemed to come. When | had reached an open space, I saw the player. He was one of the Indian boys I had noticed in the afternoon, a fine straight young fellow whom I had singled out from the rest. He was leaning against a tree, his violin raised and his head bent. As he drew his bow across the strings all the sounds of the woods seemed to come forth, the waterfall, the wind and the birds. Then sud- denly the motiff changed from one of gayety to a great unfathomable longing. In his music, his whole life was laid before me. I saw all the weary struggling, and somehow through it all a ceaseless hope. I stepped forward softly to see the player better and a small stone rolled down the bank. Instantly the player ceased and stood still. I stepped forward. I had no knowledge of the Indian language, but how I wanted to talk to this Indian boy! “You play well,” I said slowly and motioned to the instrument. He shook his head. “No,” he replied clearly, “my father did.” I drew back astonished and he, seeing my look, went on. “This is his violin. He was French.” The boy turned away. “And a musician?” I called after him. He turned. “Yes,” he replied, “he was a musician. He went away from here when I was five. I do not blame him. He missed the praise that was rightly his.” “And you inherited his talent?” I urged the boy on. “Talent!” the boy laughed derisively. “I have no talent. I play be- cause I have to talk to some one. They, here, do not understand it. They let me alone.” “But you are different from the rest,” I said. “My father taught me and then Father Moire. He used to visit here a long time ago, but when he died the people, the Indians here, would let no one else come.” I took a step forward; I had somehow, all at once made a resolve. “Would you like to play as your father used to?” I asked. The boy looked at me suspiciously. “Would you like to be famous and play before people,” I repeated. His face lit up. “I think I have always wanted to play before people,” he replied. “If you come with me,” said I deliberatingly, “and work.” I hesi- tated—but the boy’s eager eyes were carrying me rapidly on, and I found myself adding, “You will be famous.” The boy’s face lighted but immediately he looked away and shifted uneasily. “But you—you to give me everything and I nothing?” “You, yes you are to promise that you will never lose the spirit of your own music,” I replied. Why I said that, I do not know. A moment later I had forgotten about it. The boy never did. That promise once made, he tried to keep. And so I took him with me and began his training. The boy’s tech- nique was dreadful and he understood nothing about time. Patiently he worked at the long scales I placed before him and always and always I talked technique. And then I was called away. One of my college- mates Hans Von Bucher whom I had not seen for ten years, was sick in San Francisco and had sent for me. I did not want to leave the boy. but I felt that I should. “T shall miss you,” I said at parting, “and shall expect to hear from 29 you. The boy laughed, “I shall send you all my programs,” he said, and I saw then in the light of his eyes that he loved it all. And I was glad I had kept my promise—he was becoming a great player. It was a year before I again saw my musician as I laughingly called him. Herr Von Bucher became seriously ill after my arrival and begged so earnestly for my presence that I could not leave. At the beginning of my visit I had received a letter about once a week from the boy. He sent me his programs and told me stories of his life, whom he met and how he was received. In writing back, I preached technique. Then the letters ceased and only programs came and toward the end of the twelve months even these were few and far between. At the first opportune moment I left for home again. All the way the boy was in my mind. I did not telegraph him for I felt that | wanted to surprise him. I hastened at once to the apartment which he and I shared. On the landing before the door I stopped for the boy was playing. It was a selection from William Tell full of scales and hard passages. The boy played it perfectly and I knew that only perfect technique could have rendered the scales. I felt that I had accomplished my end, but some- how instead of being pleased, I was sorry. And then the boy began again, and this time I knew that he was improvising. Once more I saw his woods and birds, and down beneath the violin cried longingly. And then I knew the first piece had been too perfect; there had been no individuality in it. A hundred other boys thus trained could have played the same thing. But this—this piece the boy was playing now, in all the wide world he was the only one who could have done it. I started and opened the door. Quickly the boy laid down the instrument. “Congratulations,” I called, “your ‘William Tell’ was perfect.” The boy held out his hand and I saw that he had changed. His eyes were dull and his manner listless. “Why didn’t you write oftener?” I asked as I shrugged out of my overcoat. “Because I did not want to be a hypocrite,” turning his back he walked to the window, “A hypocrite?” I questioned. Then suddenly he turned. “T promised you I'd keep the spirit of my music and I haven’t,” he said simply. I said nothing. I knew the boy was right and even in my disappoint- ment I respected him. The boy went on. “The music [ play is just a pattern, a pattern made of notes. I thought at first ’'d be a hypocrite and go on. I loved the applause so. And then I found out I couldn’t. Friend, this bargain hasn’t been fair to you. You said you’d make me famous; you said you would teach me and you have. I promised not to lose the spirit of my own music—I have not kept that promise. I must go home and make up to you there, what I have not been able to do here.” I let the boy go and tried to drown my disappointment in the knowl- edge that he was doing right and was happy. I argued that no one raised as he had been raised could be happy in society. And what comforted me most was the fact that I knew that which I had given him could never be taken away. I have never seen the boy since, but I know he is happy for he wrote me once soon after he had left, and told me his plans and hopes for his people.” Last month a friend of mine just home from the north stopped in to talk, and incidently he told me of an Indian camp that had just been opened to the whites, through the efforts of one of the Indian boys. He was wildly excited about an Indian musician he found there, and earnestly advised me to bring him to New York, give him a dress suit, and teach him William Tell.” “The spirit of his music was wonderful,” he said, “why he’d set New York crazy.” The story came to an end suddenly. Prof. Munch raised his tea- cup. For a while no one spoke. Then Pietro stirred restlessly in his chair and spoke. “The boy should have been happy—he was famous—what else did he want? That talk about spirit—bah!” He got up and walked to the window and we heard him say as he looked out into the snow, “Fame and happiness—they’re dreams!” Little Mrs. Clay leaned forward eagerly. “Oh don’t you see?” she said, “he couldn’t be happy here, and happiness was his spirit. The trees and birds were calling him and he had to go to them—he had to go home.” Pietro with his back to us did not move.

Probably no school dance was ever more enjoyed than the Leap Year Dance, the first dance of the term. The Commissioner of Enter- tainments and the Dance Committee worked hard for the success of this affair and their efforts were rewarded by perhaps one of the largest crowds that ever attended a Tech dance. Everyone who went declared it to be a very enjoyable social event. The feature of the evening was the “Leap Year Special,” which was in the form of a grand march. After marching around the artistic- ally decorated hall the merry dancers engaged in a serpentine battle. The ball room of the Hotel Claremont made an ideal setting for this event and the music furnished by one of the best dance orchestras to be had helped to make the affair a huge success. THE JUNIOR PROM. On April 14, the second dance was held, the Junior Prom. This was the first big Junior event ever held in Tech. The recently organized class showed an abundance of spirit and willingness to help make the dance a success. They gave an afternoon dansant in the girl’s gym to raise money in order to have a special Junior stunt. This stunt was in the form of a grand march in which every couple was given a box of candy. The affair was very novel and showed originality on the part of the class. The music for the evening was furnished by a piano, a banjo, an accordion, and drums, and finer music to dance by could not have been obtained anywhere about the bay cities. THE SENIOR FAREWELL. The Senior Farewell this term was an unusually impressive and important event. The fact that the graduating class this term is so large, perhaps made it so important. Like the two preceding dances, it was held in the ball room of the Hotel Claremont. Being in the nature of a farewell, it seemed to bring things to a triumphant close in the way of social events. The entrancing ball room was decorated in the class colors, old rose and white, with an abundance of greens and ferns from the gar- dens of the Hotel Claremont. GIRLS’ FRESHMAN RECEPTION. N THE afternoon of Friday, February 11, the much-heralded, i much-dreamed of Freshman Reception took place. This is a great social event among the girls, and also seemed to strike the fancy of many of the boys if actions can be taken as proof, as many of them attempted to be present. The festivities began promptly at 3:15, being opened by a well- rendered selection by the Girl’s Band entitled, “Hash.” The next number was “Siegfried Up to Date,” a novelty rendered by the choral classes. Mr. Fisher welcomed the new girls in a talk which was greatly appre- ciated by old as well as new students. The next numbers were, “The Evolution of the Rag;” a vocal solo by Adeline Tyrall; “A Tragic Tragedy,” and “Girlies and a Mere Man.” The feature of the performance was “A Chinese Pipe Dream.” This act was well-rendered and proved to be very entertaining. Mary Eccles- ton as Sing Song, and Mary Beebe as Coo Dove, carried the leading parts, ably supported by a chorus of “Jappy” Girls and Chinese Boys. Dancing and refreshments were later enjoyed in the girl’s gym. 7 BOYS’ FRESHMAN “RECEPTION,” N THE morning of February 2, three hundred and fifty fresh- man boys responded to the call of Jimmie Thoburn and assem- bled in the boys’ gymnasium. Here they were met not only by Jimmie Thoburn, but by the boys’ co-operative board who ordered them in line and pinned upon their backs such signs as, “I want mama,” “Easy boys, easy,” “I want milk,” “Ain't I cute?” “The girls love me,” “Cutie,” and other sentiments and expressions fami- liar to Freshmen. They were headed by the band and a big banner pro- claiming them “Tech Frosh,” and marched to the front of the building where they were met by the entire student body and viewed. They were then marched up the center walks where Mr. F isher wel- comed them on behalf of the faculty. Yell Leader Bobby Smale intro- duced “Chick” Jordan as proclaimer of the Tech Freshman Oath. A large scroll held by assistant yell leaders Louis Dougherty and “Texas” Robischung was unrolled before them, and, holding up his hand for silence, “Chick” read as follows: As Freshmen of the Oakland Tech- nical High School, you will agree to: First—Make no attempt to introduce or follow the methods and small practices that marked your grammar school days. Second—Discontinue trying to be smart alecks and begin to culti- vate wisdom. Third—Seek to know and understand the traditional spirit of Tech. This spirit teaches that no boy is better than another except as he may exce] in sports. scholarship or general manliness; that we have no room for shirks, braggarts or snobs; that the finest secret society a boy can belong to is the society that teaches him to mind his own business, attend to his own job and have due regard for every other fellow’s rights; in short, not to loaf, carry a grouch, or swell out his chest at the breathing room expense of other students, but to count for something in school. Fourth—Get out of school and go to work elsewhere as soon as he fails to keep up the Tech standards. Fifth—To all this we promise and agree, on the peril of forfeiting the regard and membership in the “Great White Company of Technites.” On this the Freshmen held up their right hands, bowed their heads, and solemnly swore to the above oath. After this ceremony the band played a march and the captives were led back to the gym. The “Reception” was handled by Yell Leader Bobby Smale and was orderly and well managed. He was assisted by the boy’s co-opera- tive board and the two assistant yell leaders. The music for the occasion was furnished by the popular band. The Freshmen were all more or less relieved when the trying event was concluded and some were sur- prised that they were not handled more roughly. CLEAN-UP DAY. On Friday, April 7, the semi-annual Clean-up Day took place. At major period the entire student body, under the leadership of the co- operative boards, turned out for the labor day, and every paper and stick was removed. THE CADET REVIEW. One of the most interesting events of the term took place on Thurs- day, March 30, when two companies of cadets were inspected by Major Ryan of the Adjutant-General’s office. Promptly at ten o’clock the two companies of khaki-clad youths marched from the Armory to the front of the building. Here they were presented with the colors by Principal P. M. Fisher, commander-in-chief. Following this, the uniformed ranks marched to the parade grounds. Here they were joined by the Cadet Band, the only organization of its kind in the state. The two companies then stood at attention and were inspected by Major Ryan. Here and there he would take a gun from the grasp of some young soldier, and, after thoroughly inspecting it, would return it. After the inspection the companies were put through various drills by their commanders. They performed like veterans and earned the praise of every student and teacher. Major Ryan was especially pleased with the manner in which they drilled. LOUD TIE DAY. Narrow ties of rope, twine and shoestrings, as well as large ribbon bows of various colors such as purple, gold, green, and every known as well as unknown combination of colors which are “loud” made Tech’s Loud Tie Day famous. Those free at the 11:15 period were led in a parade about the campus by “Chick” Jordan. Those having no class at 12:00 were led ma long and noisy grand march by Bobby Smale, Yell Leader. Many wonderful creations were exhibited. GREEN DAY. On St. Patrick’s Day, green was the dominating color. Green ties, shirts, stockings, and sweaters were apparent everywhere. “Texas” was the feature of the day, appearing in a pair of green corduroy trousers. DECEMBER ’16. On Monday morning, March 19, four energetic members of the Class of December °16 gave the school a sudden surprise and the High Seniors a sudden shock by artistically, decorating the wall of an adjoining build- ing with the inscription “Dec. 16.” The legend was painted in black and white, and the letters were as high as the side of the building would per- mit their being made. Three days later the decoration was removed at the request of Mr. Fisher, much to the disgust of the Low Seniors and much to the relief of the High Seniors. THE ALUMNI JYNX. The Alumni Jynx, which was held in the auditorium on April 7, was given by the Alumni Association for the purpose of raising funds for the new gymnasium. The Association has among its ranks many professional entertainers and actors and they all gave forth their best efforts in an endeavor to start a campaign for a new gym. MAJOR PERIOD CONCERTS. The jitney concerts held during the major period are becoming very popular. A large number of students have attended every one given this term and all who had the pleasure of listening to the delight- ful music were well entertained. The first concert was given by Senor De Grassi the noted Italian violinist, the second by Senor and Senora Magana, and the third was the High Senior “Pop Concert.” Rev. W. K. Towner Max Thelen “I am proud of my father’s record, and always boasting about him.” So began the Rev. Towner in speaking to the student body on Friday, February 11, at a meeting held in honor of Lincoln’s birthday. He related some of the interesting characteristics of Lincoln, and some of the interesting events in the latter’s life. This address was well-received by the students, the Rev. Towner’s personality especially making a decided impression upon his listeners. On March 24, Max Thelen, President of the California State Railroad Commission, and a prominent lawyer and statesman related the story of the life struggles of his friend, the late Lieutenant Governor John Morton Eshleman. Mr. Thelen’s plain, straight-forward language made it a ereat pleasure to listen to such a speaker, and the entire student body was greatly impressed with the eulogy on the late Lieutenant Governor. James Henry McLaren John Kendrick Bangs Tech students were accorded a rare treat on Wednesday, March 22 at major period in hearing Dr. James Henry McLaren give a reading of poems of Robert Burns, the eminent Scotch poet. Dr. McLaren wore the quaint costume of the Scotch of Burns’ time. He made a very pleasing appearance attired in the Lowlander waistcoat, plain vest, breeches, lace jabot and cuffs, and his Scottish dialect and gestures made the entire reading seem realistic. “Salubrities I Have Met,” was the title of the humorous talk given by John Kendrick Bangs, the famous American humorist and author, on April 5 in the Auditorium. For almost an entire hour the entire assem- bly of students, teachers, and visitors was kept in continuous laughter. This lecture was one of the most interesting events of the term being the subject of much discussion and laughter for many days afterward. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION JINX. HE Athletic Association Jinx seems to have become a regular semi-annual event. Early this term many inquiries were heard asking if there would be another jinx. The Jinx this term came up to the standard set last semester when the Presi- dent of the Boys’ Athletic Association introduced the initial jinx. The performance seems to be a very capable way of adding to the school fund, as abount one hundred and ninety dollars were realized this term. A new idea was introduced in the form of a matinee. This was a jitney performance given for the benefit of the surrounding grammar school students, and for those who were unable to attend the evening performance. Tickets were sold in the grammar schools, and, as a result, several hundred future freshmen attended the afternoon show. In the evening the auditorium was filled to seating capacity and many people were compelled to stand in the lobby, the crowd was so large. The Jinx this term was managed by Leonard Jordan, President of the Boys’ Athletic Association, and Grant Du Bois. The programs had elaborate purple covers with gold lettering, and the first number was the Avery Brothers. They presented an excellent juggling act, the torch swinging being especially good. Johnny Black presented an act entitled “The Dress Suit Quartet.” His companions were Maupin Maxfield and Edward Gallagher, with Hazel Such at the piano. The act was well received and proved entertaining. “A Chinese Pipe Dream” with Edith Case and Mary Eccleston in the leads, followed. The choruses of girls proved very attractive. “The Entertaining Entertainers,” Harold S. Girvin and Percy B. Nelson, were again to the front with a skit that was very mirth-provoking and proved as popular this term as last term. Girvin’s character imper- sonations kept the audience in an uproar for fifteen minutes. Starrett, Robischung and Langstroth provided the scream of the evening. Skip Starrett as a hobo was the last word in comedy. Texas Robischung and Mush Langstroth were Skip’s companions in mirth. During the intermission, a very fascinating chorus of twenty-four girls sold candy for the benefit of the track team. Louise Jorgensen Bell, Barrett and Kilgo, the Tech Tumbling Team, provided a few flips and falls and this act proved very popular. Ring and Swick next presented an entirely new and novel magic act. They introduced several magic tricks of interest. One of the acts that made a decided hit was the Filipino Panolones, presented by Narciso C. Madera, Francisco C. Jesena and Honorio A. Chicano. They were all dressed alike and rendered several selections on stringed instruments. Louise Jorgensen’s classic dancing act was a fitting climax to the Jinx. The Spanish dance was execllent and the “Tech Special” made a great hit. The whole act showed orginality and talent. A WINTER’S TALE. A beautiful and wholly artistic presentation of a scene from “A Win- ter’s Tale” by sixty Technical students at the Greek Theater, April 15, won high praise from some of the most exacting critics about the bay. Under the coaching of Miss Crandall and Miss Marie Allen every one in the cast took their parts to perfection. Louise Jorgensen as Perdita played one lead and the dance which she rendered was one of the features of the day. Waldemar Neilsen played the other lead in a very talented fashion. The part of the old shepherd was very cleverly portrayed by Marcus Crocker, while Cole Tilly was excellent as Polixenes, the father of Florizel. ct if + i ai if ee SEEN ABOUT THE CAMPUS. Seay tT A RECENT meet- Mai ing of the high school principals of Califor- . 2 nia it was made clear that the Technical High School had gone farther in the success- ful operation of Student Gov- ernment than any other school in the state. Whether this suc- cess is due to our commission form of government, to our de- cided democratic spirit, or to the help of our principal Mr. Fisher, whose encouragement and co-operation has been of immeasurable value, it is hard to say, but we are inclined to believe that it is all three of the Herbert Garcia forces working as one. The most significant value in our practice of Student Government is the opportunity to meet what is perhaps the greatest need of democracy —active, willing participation in the affairs of the group to which one belongs. Our school is a group, with the problems of a community, and it is the solution of these problems by the entire Student Body that fits us for an active community life. In addition to the opportunity to put into operation the meaning of membership in group life, Student Govern- ment affords the opportunity to put into practice the principles of sound, democratic character. With the recognition we have received as an incentive, and the moral teachings derived as our reward, let us strive even harder to perfect our government, ever remembering to have one dominant and omnipotent spirit, “Our Technical, each for all.” As for the administration this term, we have tried to emulate the efforts of our predecessors and upon the expiration of our term of office, we take the opportunity to express our sincere appreciation of the manner in which the Student Body has lent its co-operation.

A small “T” in the center is set with pearls, the numerals “16” being above. The High Seniors were entertained at a joint party of the two classes. All the Seniors of the school were present and the evening was greatly enjoyed. Dancing was the feature of the party, while refresh- ments were later served.

All these meet- ings were well attended, and were generally featured by the presence of some prominent business man whose “pointers” on modern business, salesmanship and advertising were well heeded. Two of these noted busi- ness men were R. S.

The Glee Club is one of Tech’s oldest organizations, having had its birth far back in the annals of the old school. They appeared twice during this term’s weekly assem- blies, and were roundly applauded each time. The Club is increasing in popularity and the membership is expected to double next term. Remember, prospective members, only three days a week at the Major Period is required, and a half-credit per year is allowed. | (en 5) | ASIC CIAME IN OR LONG 202 orn. kee ce President BiganorsHiuovinin.c 2.6... nesses Vice-President Bid RUM CE TNC ee ne ee eer Secretary HE Girls’ Glee Club was organized in the old school during the last semester there.

A large amount of money is handled in this position and each key must be accurately accounted for at the end of each semester. The many keys and duplicates are kept in the office at the end of the hall in the north wing of the building. At present each key is accounted for by means of a card filing system introduced by Chet Clarke, who has managed this important division for the past two terms. Clarke has been ably assisted this year by Claude Girvin and Harlan Brown. The card filing system used here has been very successful, and recently was adopted by one of the high schools of Portland, Oregon.

This review took place on the campus before the entire school and several hundred visitors and added to the high reputation of Tech. fam PITT CTT NY TTT OTE TT Prey THE ORCHESTRA so UNNOHGHUuiNDUNHGNNTHRIONNNEGTUNAATHIE a THE BAND THE TECHNICAL LATIN CLUB Wiliam Adams) -) 222.2. . 2 = President Helen Lanes: 3a ee Vice-President Mary Rice. coe ne eee Secretary Elmer Roessner 222.2 2) eee Treasurer Pe] HE Technical Latin Club has made great progress since its ‘4 aS organiation last term.

The interest displayed at these two meetings was sufficient to show that each fellow has the interest of the school at heart. Several points of the Constitution, which had been troublesome, were smoothed over after enough arguing and debating to show that “Tech” is composed of a large number of lawyers. One big meeting is yet to be held and it is expected that block “T’s” will be awarded. i] i 4 | THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PIPE SICTIT ree ec Nk ae eee a!

Dougherty met with a very severe and painful accident about the middle of the term, being hit on the knee with a shot at track practice, and was compelled to leave school. The real spirit of the rooters seemed to return this semester and a large body of noise makers was present at every game.

With but two of last year’s (Cl) regulars back, George Hjelte built up a team that any school be) could be proud of. The lack of a suitable place for practice was perhaps the one thing that kept the Championship from Tech. The team had only two nights a week for practice and even then a full afternoon was not employed. All the other high schools with their gymnasiums right in the school buildings put in full practice every school afternoon. Captain Irish rightly deserved the title of “King of Guards.” He played a fine defensive game all through the season and his “never say die” spirit was a great factor in all of Tech’s victories. He is at present a Junior and it is hoped that he will be back next spring to help bring the 1917 Championship to Tech. Captain-elect Vaughn Miller managed the team this season and ably filled that position. He is without doubt one of the finest allround basket ball players in the county. Besides playing a fine defensive game, he is an accurate shot and his ability to add points to the Tech scores played a prominent part in every game. “Eggie” Eggleston at forward was more or less handicapped by his lack of weight. He was perhaps the smallest player in the A. C. A. L. He is a marvel at the passing game and also a good shot, but seemed to have the ill luck of always being pitted against a heavy guard. “Shorty” Lawson played the other forward position, and he and Eggle- ston made a_ fine combination. “Shorty” was the scoring machine of the team, and his many baskets — helped to roll up the Tech scores. He also did most of the foul shoot- ing, being very clever at executing these shots. “Chick” Jordan, a member of last year’s football team, started the sea- son at center. This was the first time “Chick” had played basketball since entering high school, and, although the game had changed some since last he played it, he was going great up to the time he was injured and com- pelled to retire for the season. Tom Clement who took Jordan’s place at center, proved himself a worthy successor. While not a sen- sational player, he played a very steady game, rarely being out-jump- ed, and always giving the opposing center a hard tussle. He is a Sopho- more at present, and will undoubt- edly return for the 1917 season. Bush and Murphy made two highly capable and alround substitutes, both being able to play either at for- ward or at guard. Bush was another rewarded with a winning track team. Murphy was captain of the sec- ond basketball team in 1915 and is a tried and seasoned player. He played in several games this year substituting at either guard or for- ward and playing a fine game at either position. In all probability he will be here for the 1917 season. The weight teams this season were badly handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium for practice. The 120 Ib. team was practically the only weight team organized. They were allowed a few minutes for practice at the Plymouth Center gymnasium before the first team took the floor, but this did not allow them time enough to develop any real team- work. Games were played with the Oakland Y. M. C. A. 120 Ib. team, the Calana Club, Oakland High, Fremont High, and Berkeley High. The team lined up as follows: Cleary and Vinson, forwards; Walsh, cen- ter; Sutton and Jackson, guards. THE SEASON Calana Club—54. Tech—18. In one of the first practice games of the season Tech was defeated by the Calana Club. Many new men were tried out in this game. Plymouth Center—55. Tech—12. Playing without the services of either of the regular guards, Irish and Miller, Tech was defeated in a fast and fiecerly contested game at Plymouth Center. The Plymouth Center boys were too heavy and too experienced for the aspirants for Tech’s first team. Feb. 2, 1916. Vocational 8—Technical 39. In the first league game of the season Tech defeated the Vocational Five by the score of 39 to 8. Vocational’s eight points were all scored on fouls. The teamwork of the Tech forwards and the playing of “Chick” Jordan, who shot five field goals, were the outstanding features of the game. . Feb. 16, 1916. Berkeley 31—Technical 15. Fighting gamely until the final gun sounded, the Tech boys went down to defeat at the hands of the fast Berkeley Five. Tech was very unfortunate in this game. “Chick” Jordan was compelled to retire with a broken foot which kept him out of the game for the remainder of the season. Feb. 18, 1916. Alameda 20—Technical 33. This game was played on rather short notice, and although Tech was figured to win, the team played with the same determination that marked their work all through the season. Vaughn Miller at guard was the star of the game, scoring six field goals, and playing a fine alround game. Feb. 23, 1916. Oakland 22—Technical 23. In the most nerve-racking, thrilling game of the season, Tech defeated their old rivals from Oakland High in a fast and furious contest, in which the score favored first one side and then the other. Oakland started with a rush but Tech soon evened the score, and it remained close until the end of the game. The playing of “Shorty” Lawson at forward, and Vaughn Miller at guard, were the features of the game, the former scoring five fouls and a field goal and the latter four field goals. Feb. 28, 1916. Fremont 25—Technical 35. Going into the game with a spirit that could bring nothing but vic- tory, Tech out-gamed and out-played Fremont in the first game to be held in the Civic Auditorium. Although the slippery floor made play- ing hard, the game was fast and furious throughout. Fremont jumped into the lead at the start of the game but they were soon overcome, and, once in the lead, the Tech boys were never headed. The wonderful passing of “Eggie” Eggleston, the basket-shooting of “Shorty” Lawson, and the sterling defense of Captain Irish featured the game. March 2, 1916. Berkeley 24—Technical 8. Playing before a rooting section that was possessed of the real Tech spirit, Tech lost to Berkeley for the second time during the sea- son. The score does not do the team justice, for they played a truly wonderful game. ‘Isqoig “‘uey, ‘UleIsiag@—MorI JUOIg ‘1adeURy SuosTyINFy ‘AaoxT { ureydey ‘yovlg ‘sBATIC ‘ofoog ‘uapyey—Mo appr ‘ony ‘sparueqd “uryee_pW “UAIS “puesqepriAy ‘eaaei¢ ‘yoRory) ‘unqoyy—Mor soeg — WVOLL MOVULL Sd eitgs eer eae ee eh Gara Teas an SC aed ee Ga es Part em Let seh Johnny Black, Captain Bob Hutchison, Manager TRACK The final ambition in athletics has at last been realized. Tech is the proud possessor of a championship track team. Track has been successful throughout th e entire season. Training was carried on at the University of California oval, and, at times, the members of the team received the highly expert advice of Walter Christie, the veteran trainer. Christie has trained some of the best athletes ever produced in the State, and his giving advice to our track team can be taken as a great compliment. The real coach, however, and the man to whom a lot of the glory can be given, is Jimmie Thoburn. Jimmie has a very winning way and the fellows readily take his advice, and follow his orders from beginning to end. He accompanied the fellows on the trip to Los Angeles and the Stanford Interscholastic, and is, in a large measure, responsible for the success of the team. All the fellows have trained hard and faithfully throughout the season and it is very gratifying to know that their efforts have been rewarded with a winning Track Team. Captain Johnny Black is perhaps the greatest allround athlete ever turned out by any high school about the Bay Cities. He is an expert swimmer, an all-star football player, a fast track man, and besides all these accomplishments he used to play both baseball and basketball. Bob Hutchison wore a track suit for the first time this term and proved to be the sensation of the year. He has the speed and endur- ance necessary for a good sprinter, and holds the A. C. A. L. record for the quarter mile, his time for that event being 52:4 5 seconds. Bob graduates in June and his loss will leave a great gap to be filled on next year’s team. Guy Calden, the county broad jump champion, also graduates in June. Guy more than lived up to his reputation this year in both the sprints and the broad jump, and, with Hutchison, made as fine a pair of sprinters as was ever developed in any high school. Andy Silvas was another find of the season, being the champion miler of the State. His winning of the mile in the C. I. F. entitles him to this honor. Andy holds the A. C. A. L. records in both the mile and the half mile. Cutey McMeekin was a winner in the high jump in every meet in which he entered. He has never been really pressed in his favorite event, but five feet eight inches is an every day performance with him. Skip Starrett is a veteran track man, the hurdles being his specialty. This term, however, he has been practicing the broad jump, and has become very efficient in this event. Vilas Plue is a new man in school, and was, therefore, unable to com- pete in the A. C. A. L. He is ex- pected to be a point-getter in the hurdles next season. Bill Hildebrandt was Tech’s best man in the weights. This was his first year on the track team and it is hoped that he will be here again next term. Charlie Poole is expected to be a star distance man next season. He showed up well this year and will surely be heard from in 1917. Heine Hoey did good work in the pole vault, taking second in the meet at Berkeley, and is to be reckoned with for next year. Fat Weeks was unfortunate this season, being sick just a few days be- fore the A. C. A. L. meet, and, al- though he tried hard, he was unable to get a place in the pole vault. Bob Daniels is a new man on the track. He showed ability however, and is expected to be first-string quarter miler next year. The 120 pound events were intro- duced this year, and played a great part in the scores. Tech had three excellent men in these events, Bern- stein and Tan in the sprints and Brobst in the shot. Both Bernstein and Brobst scored points in the A. C. A. L. and, as the score was so close, it may be readily seen that the 120 pounders play an important part in the meets. Claude Girvin, with practically no trainin g whatsoever, surprised everyone by taking a place in the javelin at the A. C. A. L. there- by winning his block “T”. THE STANFORD INTERSCHOLASTIC. Twelve members of the track team, accompanied by Jimmy Thoburn, traveled to Palo Alto on Saturday morning, April 1, and due to their efforts Tech finished a good second in the Stanford Interscholastic, being but one point and a half behind San Jose, the winner. From the very first event to the relay, the boys fought hard and did their best to bring victory to Tech. Calden and Hutchison took first and second respectively in the hundred. Andy Silvas, running his first mile in high school competition made Forward of San Jose run at his best form to win. Skip Starrett and Johnny Black placed in the hurdles, Johnny in the high, and Skip in the low. In the field events, Guy Calden easily took first place in the broad jump, this being his special event. Cutey McMeekin came through in great fashion and won the high jump from a large field, while Johnny Black took third place in the javelin. Of the three 120 pound men en- tered by Tech, Bernstein was the only one to place, taking a place in the two hundred and twenty yard dash. The relay team was made up of two known quantities and two “dark horses.” This quartet, Johnny Black, Vilas Plue, Bob Hutchison and Guy Calden, showed their heels to their opponents and took first place. This gave them the Ellery Arms Relay Cup which is now on display in the office. Cc. I. F. MEET AT LOS ANGELES. Five of the men who competed at Stanford and took a first, second or third place, Captain Black, Guy Calden, Bob Hutchison, Andy Silvas and Cutey McMeekin, accompanied by Jimmy Thoburn, were sent to Los Angeles to the finals of the California Interscholastic Federation on the following Saturday, April 8. The funds for sending this sextet south were raised from the lecture given by John Kendrick Bangs in the Auditorium. The extremely hot climate of the south told on the boys but they made an excellent showing, taking third place in the meet. By this.time Andy Silvas had learned what pace to set in the mile, and he put on a four minute, forty and three fifths second speed that was too much for his competitors, 5 — and he emerged the victor. After a little rest he entered the half mile, finishing third in this event. Bob Hutchison made Paddock of Pasadena travel in both the cen- tury and the furlong by placing sec- ond in each, while Guy Calden took a place in the broad jump. In the relay, the Tech team, com- posed of Johnny Black, Cutey Mce- Meekin, Guy Calden, and Bob Hut- chison captured second place. Cutey McMeekin was disqualifie d in the high jump due to the way in which he lands. The Southern Cali- fornia officials have a different idea from Northern California experts as to what constitutes a legitimate jump. THE FAC SAT MER TAA T. BERKELEY. With a well-trained team entered in this meet, the Purple and Gold finished first. Three of the best men on the team were unable to compete. Calden and Schwarz were kept out by the “four year rule,” while Plue was out because of the “six months rule.” Starting the meet, Bob Hutchison romped home with first in the hun- dred. Johnny Black upset the dope by showing a remarkable burst of speed and finishing first in the fur- long, breaking the record. “Hutch” again came through in the quarter mile, winning by a good margin from a good field. Stanford Interscholastic Andy Silvas broke the records in both the mile and the half mile runs. Skip and Johnny both took places in the hurdles, while Hoey finished second in the pole vault. Berkeley was our only dangerous competitor in this meet, being but a point behind us before the relay. Berkeley stacked up her points due to the large number of seconds and thirds obtained. In the first lap of the relay Salome Converse of Berkeley gave the second Berkeley man a good lead. Cutey McMeekin ran the second lap for Tech, Johnny Black the third, and everyone knows what “Hutch” did. He ran Sisson of Berkeley off his feet and passed him on the stretch, thereby winning the meet for Tech. ‘ourfned “uasiesioy, ‘apeug fureydey ‘ysepieg ‘ppessSzity ‘Aouano yoy ‘[foyop—Moa oly ‘Aouieg ‘auvoy ‘fisseuep ‘Jayenry ‘usaspury ‘fpessny ‘ordsayprg9—mou pegq— WVOALL TIVEHHSVA “Duffy” Gerlach, Captain “Babe” Krueckel, Manager BASEBALL For the second year in succession the A. C. A. L. baseball cham- pionship was won by Tech, and, for the second year in succession, Tech was beaten by San Jose High for the Northern California Championship. Errors lost the San Jose game and the boys seemed to have an off day in general. In the race for the County Title, the team did not lose a single game, being held to a tie by Berkeley in the first game of the season, and beating Berkeley in the last game of the season. Nearly fifty fellows responded to the first call for practice, and Herb Remmer was selected as coach. With his knowledge of the game, he was able to round out a well-balanced team. As for the team itself, the outfield with Smale, Barney, Captain- elect Paulino and Freitas, was the hardest hitting in the league. The infield with Snowy Torgersen at first, Manager Krueckel at second, Captain Duffy Gerlach at short and Mitchell at third worked like a well-oiled mahine, being a fine defensive as well as offensive combination. Behind the plate, Duke Lindgren did the most of the work, Keane be- ing unable to play until the last two or three games. Russell, Fitzgerald, McCourtney, Gillespie and Smale constituted a steady pitching staff. March 6. Tech 10—U. C. Freshmen 9. In the first practice game of the season, the team showed up well, especially in the hitting depart- ment. Johnny Paulino and Bobby Smale both got home runs. March 8. Tech 3—St. Mary’s 2. In a three-inning game Tech put up a fine brand of ball and defeated the St. Mary’s third team. March 10. Tech 3—Davis Farm 10. The first defeat of the season was handed out by the Davis team. Lefty Owens, at present in the Coast League, was too much for Tech. Barney and Krueckel got three bag- gers while Smale connected for a double. March 14. Tech 4—U. C. Freshmen 8. The Freshmen took the second game of the series, making their runs in the early innings. Anderson started for Tech but was accorded poor support and was relieved by Gillespie who pitched air-tight ball for the rest of the game. March 16. Tech 1—St. Mary’s 3. The St. Mary’s second team, by scoring three runs in the last inning, defeated Tech in a fast game. Ham | MCourtney pitched a four-hit game and was given excellent support. . March 18. Tech 11—Lick-Wilmerding 3. The boys from San Francisco did not have a chance when the Tech wrecking crew got into action. Six- teen hits and eleven runs were ithe results of their slugging. The Lick players got but seven scattered hits off Gillespie and Fitzgerald. March 23. Tech I1—St. Mary’s 9. The St. Mary’s seconds were too much for Tech and scored another win. Tech ’s only run was scored by Captain Gerlach who, after making a triple, crossed the plate on Smale’s single. March 31. Tech 4—U. C. Freshmen 1. In the deciding game of a three- game series, Tech emerged victori- ous. The Freshmen could get but five hits off of Russell, who worked in big league style. Barney drove out a home run in the fourth in- ning and started the scoring for Tech. Ao CoA, Ie April 3. Tech 2—Berkeley 2. The first league game of the season resulted in a tie. The game was very slow and it was not until the seventh inning that Tech tied up the score. Berkeley scored in the early innings but after that McCourtney could not be touched. Fitzgerald, when sent in ai inti EH as a pinch hitter, delivered the neces- sary bingle which tied up the score. Russell, who relieved McCourtney, kept Berkeley well in hand and was never in danger. April 6 Tech 3—Alameda 2 In a fast game at Lincoln Park, Tech downed Alameda, due a great deal to the pitching of Bobby Smale. This was the first time he had pitched for Tech and his work in the box was a very pleasant surprise. Scoring started in the very first inning, when Snowy Torgersen reached first on an error and scored on Michell’s triple. Mitchell then scored on a fielder’s choice. Alameda came strong in the ninth but with the tying run on sec- ond, the runner was caught off the bag for the third out. APRIL 10. Tech 24—Vocational 4. Many hits, runs, errors and tired base-runners featured the Vocational game. The game was a farce from beginning to end, Vocational making twelve errors. Bobby Smale proved himself an all-around player when he took Lindgren’s place behind the bat when Duke was spiked. Gil- lespie pitched a first-class game. April 27. Tech 12—Fremont 6. In a grand slugging match, Tech emerged victorious over Fremont. Tech piled up a lead of five runs in the first inning and was never headed. Fremont scored now and then, and, after eight hits had been made off his delivery, Bobby Smale was relieved by McCourtney who put an end to the scoring. May 1. Tech 8—Oakland 3. Tech trimmed Oakland in a fast game of ball to the tune of eight to three. Up to the fifth inning Oak- land was in the lead, but in the sixth the Tech boys woke up, and after that Oakland never had a chance. Barney made several sen- sational catches in center field, and Fitzgerald pitched a steady game, keeping the hits well scattered. May 4. Tech 3—Berkeley 1. In one of the fastest high school games ever witnessed, Tech defeated Berkeley, thereby winning the A. C. A. L. Championship. Johnny Paulino and Earl Russell were the heroes of the day. Paulino saved the day when he caught Crow’s long fly up against the fence. He also made the hit that won the game. Russell pitched sensational ball, striking out eleven men and allowing only four scattered hits. A large rooting sec- tion contributed to the excitement. May 6. Tech 1—San Jose 7. Playing after a heavy rain, on a slow and muddy field San Jose de- feated Tech, thereby becoming the Northern California Champions. The bad weather kept the rooters from the game and only a few of the faithful ones were on hand to help the team do their best. THE BOYS’ CREW FTER showing great form in their practice races, Tech’s first crew lost out in the big regatta through a regretable accident. While in the lead by five feet they were bumped by Berkeley J High who had been forced from their course by Fremont High. When the tangle was over, Tech had lost by a boat-length and they suc- ceeded in beating Oakland High only after a great fight. The second crew came through and won by a boat-length from the Oakland and Fremont second crews. Jimmy Thoburn coached the first crew and through his efforts the fellows were able to show a great improvement over last year. Captain McDonald took the second crew in hand two weeks before their race and was able to turn out a winner. In the interclass, held early in the term, with a large part of last year’s crew in the boat and Lucy Bradley at the helm, the Seniors won by a boat-length. Another big regatta will be held next semester. Let’s win it! TENNIS JENNIS is a sport that is rapidly obtaining as much competition as baseball, basketball, track, and football. Matches are to be played with Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont, and all the high schools around the bay. It is just such competition as these matches will afford that makes a sport interesting and exciting. The team will also enter the Interscholastic Tourney held by the University of California. Robert Benjamin, Fitzgerald Marx, and Cyril O’Conner constitute the team, being first, second and third men respectively. “Art” Eggleston, Captain “Shorty” Lawson, Manager SWIMMING |WIMMING is a sport that is undergoing a sort of revival. Nothing had been done with regards to a swimming team until this term when “Art” Eggleston was elected captain, and “Shorty” Lawson manager. The manager tried to obtain a suitable place for practice but as yet the necessary arrangements have not been made so it is expected that further efforts will be reserved until next term when swimming is sure to become an active sport. SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE Capt. Starrett UESDAY, May 2, saw a multitude of football material out for the first practice of the year, at Bushrod Park. The success of the team last fall seems to have added a Pes new interest and enthusiasm to football. A squad of sixty Fellow went through the preliminary practice of kicking, picking up the ball, and light tackling. The second week found the fellows indulging in interclass games, great rivalry being shown between the different classes. The third week brought about the big spring practice game with Oakland High. Captain Starrett has cause to wear a big smile, for with the four- teen veterans from last year, and the promising new men, it looks like a championship team for Tech next fall. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL HAT basketball is one of the ablest sports in girls’ athletics at Tech was certainly proved this term. In spite of the fact that the girls were late in getting started, owing to the lack of an indoor court, their pep never wavered for an instant. First and second teams were picked and practice held twice a week. The first team is composed of some excellent players: Miriam Gross is captain; Dorothy Carter and Lena Ferrera, forwards, have been working together in championship form, while the clever guarding of Doris Dwyer, Marie Colthurst, Irene Bliss and Ruby Fisher cannot be too highly commended. The centers, Alma Timm, Minnie Brodke, and May Gordon have also displayed great ability. The team was excellently coached this term by Miss Langdon of Mills College. GIRLS’ ROWING )NDER the able coaching of Miss Covey, Miss Reston and our faithful coxswain, Minnie Brodke, the first crew has certainly done remarkable work. That it did not win any honors in the recent regatta was not due to lack of effort or skill on its part, but owing to misapprehension of signals on the part of the crew. The moving pictures of the regatta bore silent but indisputable tes- timony to this fact. For weeks before the race, a girl finishing her hasty breakfast on the car, was no uncommon sight. It took some “pep” to arise and reach the Lake in time for one hour’s good practice before school. One of the most delightful memories of the term is that of the luncheon given on April 1, just before the race. The next event in which the crew participated was the escorting of Queen Elizabeth to her throne in Lakeside Park on April 29th. The boat was decorated in the school colors, purple and gold. As this was a Shakespearean May day festival, the grounds were a riot of beautiful colors.

The girls composing EGO) the “Culex Hiking Club,” organized by Miss Covey, realize this fact, and feel that they are getting more than would be possible from the motor or car window. The first meeting of the club was held on March 9, 1916. Florence Chalgren was elected captain; Helen Egan was made manager. Short hikes on Friday afternoon together with a long all day hike about once a month were planned. On the first outing, Miss Kummer and fifteen girls walked over the hills to “Little Lake Chabot” coming back by way of the Antioch Electric railroad. For variation, a “supper hike” was next taken. Twenty-two girls accompanied by Miss Kummer walked to the second reservoir. Miss Wilder who was carrying the lunches in her machine became separated from the others, and lost her way. Such a hungry, worried lot of girls at last espied the lost machine. The cheers and hurrahs that followed were more sincere than ever greeted the ears of a rally speaker. A fire was lighted and sausage roasted. There was everything from salad to candy on the menu. GIRLS’ TENNIS Se coy ROM a haphazard game, girls’ tennis has become a permanent | sport in the school this year. The girls have shown much | interest in obtaining a court at Lakeside Park, thereby | vaining a chance to perfect their play. ( Forty girls signed up for the game at the first meeting. Edith Akerly was elected manager, and [een Taylor, captain. On account of the great interest manifested, a second team was soon organized. Several interclass meets were held during which much skill in handling the racquet and ball was shown. Many of the girls who have practiced regularly, show great skill and deftness in playing the game. Here is hoping that the good work will continue in the future. THE LATEST SONG HITS.

History Ex. How and when was slavery introduced into America? Answer received on one paper—No women had come over to the early Virginia colony. The planters wanted wives to help with the work. In 1619 the London Company sent over a ship-load of girls. The plan- ters gladly married them, and slavery was introduced into America. ADVERTISEMENT. Don’t kill your wife! Let us do your dirty work!

From Painting by Goddard Gale. To Philip M. Fisher, Principal, Advisor, Friend, We the Class of December, 1916, affectionately dedicate this volume. History of Technical HE first high school in the City of Oakland was a three-story frame building with a square tower in front, situated at the northwest corner of Twelfth and Market streets. This was more than forty years ago. It was a combination school and was called Irving Grammar and High School. In 1888 this original high school building was burned to the ground and a new building erected on the site. This took fire, burn- ing the second floor. The lower floor was saved and a new second floor built, and school was continued for several years until 1896, when this building was vacated and the high school proper moved into the new building at Twelfth and Grove streets. 5 The old building at Twelfth and Market streets was thus left va- cant, with a row of sheds in the yards. At that time there were nine grades in the grammar schools and three in the high school. The Board of Education passed a resolution calling all the grammar school students who had completed the eighth year to the old building at Twelfth and Market streets and organizing a school called the Cen- tral Grammar, which was made up of ninth year students and the commercial classes from the high school. The East Oakland people objecting to this plan, a ninth grade was organized in the Franklin school, East Oakland, for those students on the east side of the lake who preferred to continue t here. Miss Annie Florence Brown, now President of the Board of Education, and Miss Henrietta Simpson, af- terwards a teacher in Polytechnic High, were put in charge of the Franklin ninth grade. Mr. P. M. Fisher was elected Principal of the new organiaztion at Twelfth and Market streets. Mr. Fisher had been County Superintendent of Schools for eight years, and from 1891 to 1896 had been editor of the Pacific Educational Journal and an institute lecturer, and was informed of his election to the new school by telegraph when he was in the northern part of the state. The new school opened with about 300 students and ten teachers. Between 1896 and 1905 the school was know by various names; Central Grammar School, Central High School, and Polytechnic High School. Under the title of Polytechnic High School the full four years high school course was organized. About 1901 a resolution was introduced into the City Council stating that Oakland could not support two high schools, and providing that the Central school, so called, be abolished and that the students be sent into the Oakland High School building, in which there were a number of vacant rooms. Through the strenuous efforts of the friends of the school this res- olution was defeated. Shortly after the Board passed a resolution requiring all the ninth grade students who had been taking Latin and all who desired to do so, to enroll in the Oakland High Scohol. Three hundred students and six teachers were transferred to the Oakland High School. This left the school at Twelfth and Market with only about 250 students. It looked as if the new school was doomed, but again the friends, faculty and students rallied, and started on a new foundation as determined as ever to make the school a success. Slowly but surely the enrollment increased, school activities ex- panded, the athletic teams began to win a few games, an Alumni As- sociation was formed, and the school paper, the Scribe, was issued by the Alumni. The Alumni had complete control of the Scribe until 1904, when it was turned over to the students on condition that the Alumni be allowed to resume control of it at any time they desired to do so. Subsequently this reservation was withdrawn and the Scribe became in fact a student activity. About 1909 a bond issue was voted on which included an item of $142,000 for a new building and additional land at Twelfth and Market streets. The students or- ganied a booster club and held a monster parade, but the bonds were defeated by a small margin, although they polled more votes than any other proposition that was submitted. About this time Poly’s name was changed to Manual Training and Commercial High School, on the plea that since there was a business college by the name of Polytechnic Business College, confusion in mail matters, etc., resulted. The school continued to grow rapidly until the demand for a new building became so great that it could not be resisted, and in May, 1911, $600,000 was voted for new buildings and a new site. On the eve of the election the students filled Broadway with a marching, shouting spectacular parade. One hundred and fifty boys served at the various election booths as boosters and the battle was won. On January 6, 1912, Mr. Fisher had the pleasure of turning the first spadeful of earth on the new site. January 4, 1915, 1450 students thronged into the new building and the school was organized with Miss Heaton as Vice-Principal and with a committee of the old stu- dents assisting in the organization. The program as then adopted, with some slight exceptions, has been followed since. The name was changed from Manual Training and Commercial to Technical. The building and equipment up to date have cost about $750,000. A double gymnasium with a swimming tank are still to be obtained. Also additional land for campus and a horticultural department. Ad- ditional rooms for the music department should be provided and ampler facilities given to the growing library. A bond issue is un- der consideration now, and the friends of Tech should see to it that its wants are provided for in this issue. Of the faculty of 1902, Miss Tyrrell, Miss Wilder, Mr. Gale, Mr. Fisher and Miss Madden (on leave of absence) are the only present members, Mr. Tenney having remained at the old corner as Principal of the Vocational School. The history of Tech is the history of the struggle of industrial and commercial education in California. It has from the beginning de- voted itself to making its students efficient working bees in the human hive. It has expanded into an all-inclusive high school, but has largely retained its democratic spirit. It can only serve the com- munity best so long as this spirit is rightly maintained. Faculty Mr. P.

Marie Wilson, °16. ARGARETH’S vacation was over, and Margareth was glad. “I don’t see why I had to stop school, anyway. Aunt Frances said that I was getting nervous. Pooh! She wanted company on her dry old trip, and so I had to go with her. Gee, I’ll be glad to get back to school again.” Margareth Willets lived with her rich aunt when she was not at- tending boarding school, because her father and mother were too busy in social affairs of New York City to bother with her. But Mar- gareth had grown used to this. She did not care much for her aunt, and stayed at school all the time she could. When her Aunt Frances made a trip to Canada, however, she made Margareth go with her, much to Margareth’s dis- like. Pretending headaches, etc., Margareth had tried to make the trip as brief as possible, because her school was to begin soon and she want- ed to be there at the opening. “School, dear, dear school,” murmured Margareth, as_ she fell asleep the night before she was to return to that beloved place. All the pleasant days of her short life had been spent in Miss Tenny’s De School, one of the oldest and most exclusive schools of its ind. When the handsome car stopped in front of Miss Tenny’s Boarding School, Margareth jumped out and ran up the great flight of stone steps. Her friend Flora Ross met her just as she was starting for the office. “Flora!” “Margareth!” The noise of their greeting caused a group of girls at the end of the hall to come running toward the two. They all seemed to know Margareth, and such a hub-bub arose that Miss Tenny came from her office to see who had come to cause it. On seeing Margareth she came forward to greet her. “Why, where is Minnie Wells?” asked Margareth, a few minutes later, as she was sitting in her room with a group of girls around her. “Qh, she is up keeping Clement Greenwood company.” This was the first time Margareth had heard the name of the girl wee was to have such an influence in making a different person of her. “It’s my turn to go this afternoon. We all just love to go,” contin- ued Flora. Margareth thought, “If it is so nice, why doesn’t she go now?” She knew that the girls were allowed to visit each other’s rooms. Her thoughts were interrupted just then by the girls. During luncheon, Flora said: “That is where Clement usually sits when she is down, but when she isn’t feeling well she eats in her room.” “Humph! Putting on lots of style,” answered Margareth. Flora looked at her for a minute as if she were going to say some- thing, then tossed her head and remained quiet. But Margareth no- ticed a difference in her manner, and also of the other girls who had heard the remark. “They don’t seem to care whether I have come back or not,” thought Margareth. “I thought the girls liked me; but no one cares what I do, I guess. I don’t see why they make such a fuss over this new girl, anyway.” . Several days later as Margareth was going to mail a letter she came across a girl sitting in one of Miss 'Tenny’s best rocking chairs, on the veranda. Margareth had never seen the girl before and went a little nearer to look at her. Just then the girl looked up and saw her. “Hello,” she said. “You must be Margareth Willets. I am Cle- ment Greenwood.” She held out her hand and Margareth gave hers in return. “I am very glad to know you,” smiled the new girl. “I see you are going to mail a letter; will you mail this one?” “All right,” consented Margareth, but as she moved off to do so, she wondered why the girl hadn’t done it herself. “I bet she’s some rich thing that has come here and expects everyone to wait on her. Well, this is the first and the last time I do.” When Margareth returned, the girl was not there. As it was al- most lunch time, she went to her room, threw off her hat and jacket and ran toward the dining room. She looked up and down the hall to catch a glimpse of Flora, because she had promised to sit next to her that day. She also said she had something special to tell Marga- reth. It had always been sport to see which of the girls of their clique got to the dining room first. After a last look, which revealed no Flora, Margareth went into the room and took the same seat she had had the night before. After a few minutes had passed, she said to Minnie Wells: “Where is Flora?” “Oh, she’s upstairs with Clement Greenwood. Flora didn’t hear the rest of the story Clement started last Friday, so she went to eat lunch with her. You should hear the stories Cleo tells! Gee, they’re great. She makes a lot of them up.” “T thought you were the one who didn’t like stories. H’m, you have changed a great deal, I must say. Flora promised to eat with me to- day, as she had something special to tell me. It seems as if that girl has you all turned around her little finger. The idea! She asked me to mail a letter for her.” Minnie opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by Miss Tenny’s voice. “Margareth Willets, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, talking about a girl student like that.” Margareth flushed red, but merely shrugged her shoulders. Then she rose, excused herself and went out on the balcony, which over- looked the factory section of the city. She leaned her hands on the rail, resting her chin on them. In this way she could take in every detail of the scene before her. She saw little children come out of the school house to eat their lunch in the yard. Men came out of the shops with their dinner pails in their hands. She saw a man stop and wave his hand to a woman who was hanging out clothes in a yard situated a little way up a slope and which could be seen dis- tinctly from the factory. She was not conscious of a smile that spread over her face. It was a sad smile, or so it seemed to Clement Greenwood, who sat by her window watching Margareth, while Flora fixed up her little stand table with the edibles which a maid had brought. Margareth’s gaze wandered over this little picture, and far away where in the distance she could see the smoke of the greatest city in the United States. She wondered where her father and mother were and what they were doing, and almost wished that they had been the principal characters in the little scene she had witnessed, and that she was one of those barefooted children running in the school yard. She wondered what was to become of her in this lonely world. “Aunt Frances will give me a house to live in and rich things to wear and eat, but I want something else. Something those people have. They have friends, and I haven’t one acquaintance whom | can call a true friend.” Clement Greenwood saw the pitiful look on the girl’s face, and also saw the heaving shoulders and the black head fall on the folded arms. She started to call Flora’s attention to her when Margareth arose, straightened up with an effort and walked in to the school building. Wishing to become better acquainted with Margareth, Clement took a place at the table where she knew Margareth took her sewing. When Margareth came in, she saw Clement sitting in her chair, and as there was no chair near she walked angrily up to her and said loud enough for the rest of the girls to hear and also the instructor: “You have my chair, will you please rise and let me sit in my usual place? You know it is against the rules to change your place when you have been registered.” Clement’s face showed surprise and hurt, and without getting up she turned to the instructor, who was standing near, and said: “Miss Davis, will you please get Miss Willets a chair?” Miss Davis brought a chair over but stopped Margareth as she was going to sit in it. “Miss Willets, you are excused from class until you feel you can apologize to Miss Greenwood.” Margareth turned and looked the teacher full in the eyes and answered: “Well, Miss Greenwood will get gray-haired waiting for me.” And as she passed the other girls’ chairs she laughed almost sneeringly. Banging the door after her, she made her way as quickly as possible to the balcony. Clement also left the room with the maid who was waiting at the door, because it was almost time for her to take her afternoon walk. Leaning from the balcony Margareth once more looked down upon the busy scene before her. Lunch was over and the men were work- ing hard in the factories and the children were studying in the school house. She wished she could see the woman again, but no one ap- peared in the yard up the slope. Perhaps a half-hour passed when she saw two people coming tow- ard the school. She wondered who they were, because signs were on the fences stating that the grounds were private. One was a girl about her own age or less, which was hard to decide, as her body was bent over two crutches which enabled her to walk. The other person was a maid, as her uniform plainly showed. “It must be terrible to be lame like that. If they pass near enough, I’m going to throw this bunch of violets to her,” said Margareth, and unpinned the flowers from her belt. As the girl got under the balcony, Margareth leaned far over and threw the flowers. They struck the ground right in front of the girl, who requested the maid to pick them up. Clasping them in one hand, the lame girl looked up into Margareth’s smiling face, whose expression turned to one of amazement when she found she was look- ing down into Clement Greenwood’s eyes. Margareth stared a mo- ment with outstretched arms, then turned and with tears running down her face she ran off of the balcony, and down the hall to a door with the words printed in big letters, “Miss Tenny’s Office.” Without waiting to knock, she burst into the room, where Miss Tenny sat at a small desk writing. Twice before Miss Tenny had been interrupted in just this same way by Margareth: Once when she had poured water off the balcony on to the head of a passing man, whom she thought should not have been on the school premises, and who turned out to be the rector of the little church where the girls often went on Sundays; the other time was when Margareth had re- ceived word that her big collie dog had been run over and killed, and she wished to go home at once. But Miss Tenny did not have time to think of those other times be- cause Margareth had thrown herself on the floor at her feet, putting her head in the other’s lap. Between sobs Miss Tenny learned the whole story. After Margareth was through, she lay in the same posi- tion, crying loudly. So loudly, that she did not hear the door open nor the sound made by two crutches as they moved near her, until she felt two arms go around her, and felt one of the crutches strike her foot as it fell. Then a kiss was pressed on her forehead and a soft voice said: “Never mind, dear, it was all a mistake, and I’m sorry I took your chair and won’t do it again, if you will only be friendly with me now. Those flowers are just beautiful. Come up to my room now and help me fix up the table to look nice with them.” Margareth rose and went with her, but kept wiping away the tears which would not stop. At last when the maid had tucked the lame girl into a large armed chair and put the flowers in a vase, and placed them on a small stand table near the chair, she left the two girls alone. Clement motioned Margareth to a stool near her, but instead Margareth sat on one of the arms of the big chair which held the other and placed her two arms around Clement’s neck and drew her head over against her breast where she pressed it tenderly, kissing the white forehead. At last she reached down and drew the chin until she could look into the other’s eyes and said in a broken voice: “TI didn’t mean to be so mean about that chair. If I had under- stood, it would have been different, you believe that, don’t you?” “T certainly do, dear,” replied Clement. “And now, let’s forget all about it and enjoy ourselves.” “Tell me that story that you told Flora this noon. I’m sure it was worth hearing all right.” Later, when Minnie and Flora came to visit Clement, they saw a sight which greatly surprised them. The two in the chair were in the same position as when Clement started the story and had not moved even though the story was finished, and the important events in the lives of each of the two girls had been exchanged. Margareth now no longer wishes to be an inhabitant of that little settlement near the factories, because she has found a true friend. ae Clouds With Silver Linings L Poets many years have said, and in books it may be read, That when a cloud goes drifting by, in a dark and troubled sky, And the cloud is black and drear, it fills our hearts with sudden fear, Making all the world seem sad, but in the end we're always glad, For inside it’s shining, shining, With a wondrous silver lining. 2. So when a cloud comes in your life, and fills it full of sudden strife, And its sad and sullen way, blots each new beginning day And hinders you in every turn, chaining you from all you yearn, Keep up heart and hope and mind, for in the end you always find That inside it’s shining, shining, With a wondrous silver lining. ATHENA VRETTOS. Air Castles Ah, ’tis only after twilight when the only light is starlight And the moon shines down from out the dark, deep blue, And your canopy is heaven, while your boat by waves is driven, And your cares and troubles drift away from you. Then ye breathe the sweet nepenthe that the incensed ether sends thee, Drifting down to you so radiantly rare; Ah, on tissues then of fancy, ye build a castle airy, WW Thi 1 r oO ? 7 Vith which no Greek god’s palace could compare. Fluffy fairies in it dwell, no human tongue their joys can tell, For heavenly bliss does not exist on earth. Perfect is this fairy life, sin nor sorrow, care nor strife Dare to wend their way upon these fairies’ mirth. Then these airy fairy things, with their airy fairy wings, And their golden gauzy garments all sublime, Seem to flit or float or fly, as they silently dance by, With a movement which the angels call sublime. Out, then, into the court, these airy fairies sport, Where a sparkling crystal fountain sprays in air; And the fairies dance in time to the waters’ silvery chime, With which the cords from harps of angels can compare. And the fountain softly splashing with a gently pearly plashing Seems to soothe the sobbings of the inmost soul; For a wondrous harmony, yea, a marvelous melody, Echoes from the crystal waters as they fall. Softly, velvet violet vapors, through which shine starry tapers, Hover round the fairy castle like an airy mist. Incensed zephyrs blowing free, softly sigh exquisitely; Yea, round this crystal castle reigns Ethereal Bliss. But soon these splendors softly fade, and o’er the castle falls a shade, Twas THE air castle of your dreams, the hope that can’t come true it seems; It cannot last, it cannot be, this thing you built exquisitely; Twas only fancy all this bliss, for no such things on earth exist, As crystal castles, fountains fair, angel’s music, incensed air, Fluffy fairies, airy mists, violet vapors, ethereal bliss; A sadness fills you heavily, to think on earth they cannot be. ATHENA VRETTOS, Dec. 716. The Great Hate Addison Parry 716 ANTY did not hate the Germans. He joined the army only because the rest of the boys in the glass factory did. He was drilled, given a gun, and rushed to France, breathing sacred- ly the name of the king, because the rest of his fellow-men were doing the same. He had some vague notion that the rights of Englishmen were being oppressed, and a very strong one that it was his duty to killa German. Vanty in his new-found duty swore at them at large, but admitted to himself that Fritz and Mark, who had blown glass in the same factory, were decent chaps. _ But religiously he tried to hate them, and when that hate would not come, told himself bitterly that he ought to be shot, and cursed them louder than the rest. So they teasingly called him Germany, and envied him, while he in turn envied his officers, whom he knew were blessed with the Great Hate. Somewhere in France they met with other regiments, like them- selves on the road to somewhere else. And so Vanty met Tommie, and because neither of them had grown close enough to anyone else to talk of home, they threw their lot in together. At daybreak they swore at each other, at mid-day they ate from the same plate, and at night shook hands, and softly called each other names, barred strictly by the press. So between them there sprang up a friendship such as a professor might compare with David and Jonathan; but most of the regiment, never having heard of David and Jonathan, remarked only that they stuck like fly-paper—which, though probably taken from Puck, was true. And thus the weeks passed, endless days of marching through little villages, passing patches of beets and yellow grain, stopping at a neat farm house for a drink and perhaps a kiss from a red-cheeked “fille de ferme,” knowing only that they were going to meet the enemy. Then one night when a halt had been called, Vanty, feeling that the march was almost over, bared his heart to Tommie, and told him his secret, his hope for the Great Hate, which would not come. For a while there was silence, then Tommie, his back to a tree, his arms hugging his khaki-clad knees, spoke: “Some day you'll find it, Vanty. Lord, I pity the German you get then.” And Vanty, seeing that Tommie understood, loved him. Two officers passed, their muffled voices sounding distinct in the quiet air. “It’s a great strike,” said the taller, “a great strike! The plans are finished on paper.” “What a find for a German,” answered his companion. Tommie looked at Vanty, then shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t they eno though,” he demanded, “how the night air carries secrets ? Down the line came a sharp order. The troops sprang up, auto- matically reaching their places. The command to march was given. They stumbled up and on in the dark night, reprimanded when Van- ty’s boyish heart broke out in the strains of Tipperary, meeting with other silent regiments, marching, stumbling on, and on. In the gray dawn they stopped to throw up trenches. When the sun was up each man crawled into the smallest space possible, dropping exhaust- edly to await the next command. Vanty lay down happy, sorry for the tired boys who must stand duty. The great strike had come, he was to meet the Germans. Then suddenly he remembered Fritz and Mark. They were decent chaps— he hoped he didn’t meet them—he couldn’t kill them. Lord, he didn’t want to kill anyone—he was tired. And so he threw one arm across Tommie’s chest and went to sleep. And then it happened so quickly that Vanty could not remember the events leading to it. In the bright morning light, he heard Tom- mie accused of being a spy, and turning to defend his chum, he found only an empty English uniform and a knapsack. Dazed, he gathered the facts. The sentry had fallen asleep, and the papers had been taken. He remembered now how Tommie had guarded his knap- sack, the knapsack that held the German uniform. He turned to salute his officer, only to fall sickly back against the trench. And so it came to Vanty, there in the sight of the empty uniform, the Great Hate for which he had prayed so long. His blue eyes stared unemo- tionly like pieces of blue steel, as he stifly saluted. The commander spoke. “T shall send some one who did not know him,” he said. “T will go,” persisted Vanty. “You understand the danger perfectly? Beneath the smoke it’s possible to be shot by our cannons.” “T will go,” again Vanty repeated, wondering at the officer’s lax- ness, “because I hate him.” “Very well.” And’so he left the silent trench, and faced the white line of the white line of the enemy’s. Somewhere between his trench and that white, uneven line was Tommie, not Tommie, the bunkie, to whom he had bared his heart, but Tommie, the spy. The German lines rumbled, the earth shook, a yellow patch of grain disappeared as Vanty crawled on. His line answered, and Vanty’s heart knew joy. They were killing Germans—men like Fritz and Mark. He slipped out his pistol and examined it lovingly. Then beneath the smoke he rose and ran. When the smoke cleared he crawled, and Vanty was deliriously happy. And so he came upon Tommie lying in his Ger- man uniform, his leg shattered. Tommie turned his face at his call, and on that face was written pain. He tried to speak, and Vanty, still glad in his hate, knew how he was suffering. “So they sent you. I knew you would find the Great Hate, and want to come. I had it—once.” His eyes closed and Vanty raised the pistol. And then the reaction came. He felt it coming, he tried to stay it, but it was no use. Slow- ly the pistol dropped—the earth shook and Vanty fell. Later, when he opened his eyes, Tommie was still there, his fingers on a little iron cross. Vanty crawled to him. “T had—the Great Hate—once,” he repeated. Tommie held out one hand. “God save the King,” he breathed. Then Vanty, loyal subject to the King of England, who had received his greatest wish, the Great Hate, smiled back. “Hock der Kaiser,” he said, and in his eyes was a great love. st School Days Charlotte Burlingame 717 LIZABETH DAY was a freshman. This, she firmly believed, was the root and basis of all her trials and tribulations, from “fours” in algebra to the rip in her dress which she had just discovered. “O for pity sakes,” she gasped, giving the dresser drawer a shove that rattled a half dozen hat pins stuck in a cushion hanging at the side against the mirror, “here it is quarter past eight and I was going early to study that Spanish I didn’t do last night so I could read.” She squirmed into another dress, jerked on her sweater, and scooped up a pile of books. Not waiting to pick up the papers that fluttered out of them, she dashed madly out of the front door, calling over her shoulder, “I haven’t time for any breakfast this morning.” With a sigh of relief she sank into a seat on the street car and set- tled the books on her lap. “Now let’s see, doy, das, da, damos, dais, dan,” she conjugated, “what comes next? Oh, yes, daba, da a. “Fares, please,” the conductor held out his hand at her expectantly. Elizabeth put her hand in her sweater pocket, she dug it into her other pocket, she examined her handkerchief, and searched her books. With a sputtering choke she sprang wildly to her feet, nearly knock- ing the astonished conductor over, and stumbled to the front of the car, exclaiming, “Let me off, let me off, quick! I forgot my money!” Back the two blocks she fled, grabbed her purse, and started again. In spite of her frantic efforts to attract the motorman’s attention, the car started before she got on, but grabbing the rail she hoisted her- self to the first step, when horrors of horrors, her books began to slip and slide. The car went faster, the world darkened before her eyes, and she sank against the step above, trembling. Suddenly strong arms lifted her into the car. Without a look at her rescuer she stag- gered to a seat. Several times afterwards she wondered who had raised her to safety, and rather wished that she knew. The bell for the third period rang sharply. “Oh,” shivered Eliza- beth to the girl by her, “this is the day of the Forum.” “Yes, and with higher classes, too,” added the other, whereat they shivered to- gether and hung to each other as. they entered the room where it was to be held. But debating of any sort was Elizabeth’s hobby, and she soon forgot to quake and shake, and stoutly defied the opposing ar- guments. The discussion became fast and furious, seats squeaked excitedly, papers rustled with vim, and tongues spoke with energy and some tartness. For some time most of the dispute had been be- tween herself and a boy on the other side of the room. The others had gradually subsided into listeners, their attention seesawing from one side to the other. Elizabeth was dizzy and perfectly happy. The boy rose. “My worthy opponent,” he made a gesture toward Eliza- beth, “spoke of crime committed by immigrants. To my mind it doesn’t come up to those some of our own citizens commit.” He finished with a triumphant glance at her. Elizabeth accepted the challenge instantly, and with a nod to the chair instead of the com- plete address, she flung back, “Indeed, and so I suppose you think we should bring them over here to add to the criminal list of our present citizens and learn from them their advanced methods of crime,” and sat down with crushing, withering scorn. For a moment the room was silent, overcome; then a boy towards the front stood up and con- fronted her accusingly: “You didn’t address the chair.” Miss Day stared stupidly, weakly at him a second and then pitched back, “O didn’t 12 Well, neither did you.” The dignity of the meet- ing was gone. The president, joining in the burst of applause, forgot to rap for order until the teacher, quite red in the face herself, re- minded him. And the cause of all this hubbub sat dumbly in her seat for the rest of the period, stupified with mortification and a great rage against the boy towards the front of the room. Now above all things, Elizabeth hated, despised, loathed algebra. She had barely managed to wade through arithmetic at grammar school, and now by many tears on her part and explanations from the poor, harrassed teacher, she contrived to squeeze a “five” into a “four.” She was mounting the stairs now to have such explanations. She opened the door a crack and peeked in. No one there. “O fid- dlesticks,” she snapped under her breath, and was about to close it again when a groan broke the silence. She paused, opened the door wider and peered cautiously around. Every seat was empty except one far back. where a black, curly head was bent over billows of paper. The young lady’s nose twitched disdainfully when she saw that head, for it belonged to the boy “towards the front of the room.” She stood irresolute as to what should be done under such perplex- ing circumstances, when another groan resounded, a groan of heart- breaking anguish, of despair. That settled it. She stepped inside the room and shut the door, leaning her back against it to shut off retreat. ‘“What’s the matter?” she demanded. The boy looked up, startled, ashamed, then recognizing her, he stiffened and looked out the window. The act hurt her. She left the door and went towards him imploringly. “Come, don’t let ’s be mad. What’s the matter?” He hesitated a moment and then blurted forth, “We boys have a club and I’ve got to make a speech—never made one in my life and I’m desperate—don’t even know what to talk about— if it was pitching a ball I'd be all right, but .”’ he paused with a pathetic gulp. “Hm-m, I see,” said Elizabeth. Perhaps others be- sides freshmen had troubles. “What sort of a club is it?” And so it was that for the next two weeks after school, room twenty-eight was filled with mighty words and the waste-paper basket with many inky wads of paper. The day had come. The club of studious, serious upperclass boys met. The Boy had a white line around his lips which Elizabeth noticed. “Don’t be afraid,” she whispered bravely, though her own knees wobbled, and went hastily into the room across the hall. She tried to study, she scribbled on the blackboard. At 3:15 she went out into the hall and marched up and down like a sentinel. | Voices mumbled through the closed door, and at times the sound of clap- ping. Three-thirty. She could stand it no longer. She glanced fur- tively up and down the hall. No one was in sight. She tiptoed to the door and peeked through the key hole. Nothing but the side of the teacher’s desk could be seen. She giggled excitedly and went back to the other room. Three-forty. A deafening commotion thundered through the building. Four o'clock. The door softly opened and closed behind her. She turned. The Boy came forward, his face flushed. “Did you hear?” he asked. She nodded. “It was for me, and you are the one to be thanked,” he praised, “‘so I guess we’re even now.” “How?” she asked, puzzled. “Don’t you remember that morning the car started before you got on? I saved your life,” he teasingly smiled. “O, was it you?” she asked, lifting her serious eyes to his face. “I’m so glad,” her low voice added. They smiled, that simple statement evidently very important and pleasing to both. The last two terms have witnessed a rapid progress in the develop- ment of school government. The experimental stages have been passed and I feel that our student institutions are now fixtures. This semester our efforts have been crowned with a singular amount of success, which is due, almost entirely, to a firmer co-operation be- tween teachers and pupils. We must always pursue the ideal. Much work has been done, but we cannot afford to rest on our oars. Technical Students must work together, with unselfish and disinterested motives. It is my earnest belief and fond hope that the day is not far distant when the spirit embodied in the school motto will be completely realized, “Each for all, all for each.” CLAUDE R.

Money to buy silver “T”’ pins was raised by a musical, given by the society. The pins are to be loaned to the students when they enter the so- ciety and are to remain in their possession as long as their scholarship warrants membership, and are to become their permanent property if the student is a member of the society at the time of graduation. A gold “T” is given the student who makes the society five times, and a special pin to a student who makes the society eight times. President Genera l Secretary Censor Efficiency Chairman This has been a particularly successful term for the Historical So- ciety. At the first meeting it was decided to keep a file of the “Scribe News,” and to help with the research work on California history by collecting old documents, and diaries. An unique phase of the Society’s activities are the excursions, and this term they have been particularly well attended. The first excur- sion was to Goat Island, when one hundred and fifty “Technites” braved the impending rain, at which encouragement “Old Sol” came back. The party was shown around the Island by the sailors, and a dance enjoyed in the gymnasium afterward. The next excursion was to the cruiser “Pittsburg,” which was fresh from Mexico. A very enjoyable afternoon was spent on board. Latin Club RES TCCT Uae eee, ner a ere Joy Holloway VACEs LE ECSIOGTI Men te td te, ee ee ee John Shea BYRON Almere ee heck ee eee se ee Lester Root BEAGLE OK mete reeset ne Porter Stanley The career of Technical Latin Club, though brief, has been very successful, and the past term one of the most enjoyable to its mem- bers. Following the election of officers at the first meeting of the term, a reception was held, and twenty new members were added to the club roll, making a total of seventy-five. The Cicero class and the B10 Latin class each presented a short play during the term—‘Circe,” and “A Roman Wedding.” Miss Bunker entertained the club at another meeting with many of her personal experiences in Rome; Professor Richardson of the Univers- ity of California gave an exceedingly interesting talk on “Glimpses of Roman Life.” The big event of the term, however, was the Hallowe’en Initiation Jinx, and under the able management of Mary Rice, was most suc- cessful. The initiates had many harrowing experiences, but were fully recompensed by the delicious Hallowe’en “eats” which followed. The members of the club, by their enthusiasm and co-operation with the faculty advisor, Miss Martens, and the officers, have done a great deal toward helping the club to attain a higher standard and thus to give a vital force to its motto, “Excelsior.” Tech Radio Club Francis Newton Howard Josephs Herbert Dickey The Radio Club has been a decided success, and has a promising future. Early in the term a complete radio set , receiving and trans- mitting, was installed in the Club’s operating room. This was later supplanted by a Marconi ship receiving set. A ship log was kept of all the stations and messages received. Mr. Coleman gave a series of lectures on “Radio Theory” that proved very interesting. Several of the members gave talks on their personal experiences. Trips were taken to local ships and land stations. The Club adopt- ed pins, and plan to accommodate a greatly enlarged membership next Spring. The Radio Corps was organized this term, and are composed of members of the Radio Club. The Corps studied signaling, and hope to obtain a government radio set shortly. Howard Josephs is leader.

Later, it was expanded to include other liter- ary activities so as to foster special talent among the members. In place of one of the meetings of the term a membership dance in fancy costume was given in the girls’ gymnasium. Although the first term has been spent chiefly in organization, it is evident that under the guidance of our faculty advisor, Miss Fortson, the society will gain a permanent foothold in Tech. ea) The Band This has been a most successful term for the Tech Band. They rep- resented the school at the football games, and’ entertained the stu- dnts during many of the Friday major period assemblies. As guests of the Chamber of Commerce they accompanied a group of Oakland “Boosters” through the San Joaquin Valley. On the trip they headed a parade through every town. They were entertained by the student bodies of several high schools and they gave several concerts. Under the capable direction of Mr. Trutner, our band has grown, and now is considered the best high school band in the country. The Valley tour was so successful that plans are under way for a trip to Los Angeles. The Christmas vacation may find our band car- rying the fame of Tech through the southern part of the State.

The chaperons of the club were Miss Kummer and Miss Meek. :tE0) ERE DERI TE 2 Ee Orchestra Club Pener ivi miestenye 6h ee ee ae President POPOL Vas GOLG ne ne Vice-President Russell Clinkenbeard..................

It played for the Oakland School Teachers’ Banquet at Hotel Oakland, at the Municipal Auditorium De- cember 8, 1916, and was the only amateur orchestra around the bay to play the orchestra of the Mikado. The Stringed Double Quartet rendered a beautiful and difficult pro- gram for the Parent-Teachers’ Club.

An election was held and a president, secretary, and treasurer were elected. Miss Kum- mer, through Mr. Zuro, director of the grand opera “Aida,” offered the members of the Glee Club the chance to be in the chorus of the production. The offer was accepted, and for three weeks Mr. Zuro himself came from San Francisco every day to instruct the boys to be in the open-air pageant. The opera after many difficulties, due to rainy weather, took place in the San Francisco Auditorium with the Glee Club boys a feature of the affair. The next thing participated in by the Glee Club was the Mikado, one of the most successful musical offerings ever staged in this school. It is usually very hard to get enough boys for the chorus of a high school musical comedy, so the services of the members of the Glee Club were greatly appreciated. The Glee Club is a fast growing organization and looks forward to even more successful terms than it has enjoyed this year.

The Society has been handicapped, and its advance retarded because of the lack of a faculty advisor, owing to Miss Palmer’s sudden de- parture for Spain at the commencement of this term. However, we have started forward once more, and before the new year will be on a firm foundation. The principal event of the term was the presentation of “The Knighting of Don Quixote at the Wayside Inn,” from Cervante's fa- mous story of that intrepid adventurer. Marie Coakley and Gertrude Bilky took the principal parts, both showing talent. Similar affairs, musicals, trips to points of interest about the bay, and hikes will provide ample entertainment during the coming sem- ester.

They made their first appearance in the auditorium when they sang “The Loreli” and “The Shepherd of Israel’; the latter was accompanied by a string quartet. Most of the chorus of “The Mikado” was supplied by this organiza- tion, which worked faithfully on it every major period. They gave the Boys’ Glee Club a reception before the Thanksgiving holidays. They were entertained by singing and later enjoyed an informal dance. The Girls’ Glee Club will continue next semester at major period, and all advanced girl singers are cordially invited to join. Le Cercle Francais Le Cercle Francais was organized this term by Miss Holden and Miss Breu, the Fernch teachers of this school.

Each meeting was characterized by some form of entertainment. Sketches from “Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon,” musical num- bers, including the popular French song, “Marseillaise,” were enjoyed by all members. A theatre party at the new Bishop Theatre con- cluded the meetings of this term. The School Quartet The School Quartet was or- ganized in the Spring of 1916, under the direction of Mrs. Davis. It made its first appear- ance at the commencement ex- ercises of June, 1916, and has several times since sung at out- side affairs, where it has not only won honor for itself, but for the school and the music department. It sang in the op- eretta, Mikado, given by the music department this term as the Imperial Quartet. Its mem- bers are: Norma Foss Hermine Brauer Hugo Muhmann Paul Bradner Experiences in Camp Life Helen Lundgren ’16. Camp life! Did you ever try it? Did you ever come back to camp after a long day, and find a cow eating the potatoes that you had cooked for supper? Or in the night come to camp and hear some creature in there munching, and find it to be a dog, eating the bacon that the ants had fed on the day before? Or did you ever leave a pan of milk on the table, and come back to find it gone, all except what had been spilled over the red tablecloth? Did you ever have a camp that was visited by the sun in the morning, so if you left your candle out, by the time you rescued it, it had bowed itself to the ground, or, if not rescued, only a grease spot on your sack carpet was left to tell the tale, and as that was the last candle, and the store was a mile and a half away, you went without a light that night unless you were fortunate enough to have a moon overhead? Did it ever rain when you hadn’t a roof, and you had to take down your ham- mock to cover your head, and nearly suffocate yourself trying to keep your head under it, and out of the rain? And did your bed ever go down with a thud, and you found yourself rolling on a slope? Did you ever hear something creeping around in the bushes, and, when you finally got up enough courage to investigate, find that your visitor was only a toad? Did you ever find a colony of daddy-long- legs under the springs of your beds, that gave you the creeps? Did you ever vow that you would never go camping again, and by the time you got home—well, will you go again next year? YES! —_ Sa Mb es Oe DANCE COMMITTEE Will White Vincent Irish Mary Eccleston Commissioner of Entertainment Gertrude Potter Miriam Gross Emma Holub Paul Weber Herb Mathiesen F all Dance The first formal dance of this term was held at Hotel Claremont on Friday, September 15th. The ballroom of the hotel was artisti- cally decorated with maple leaves and streamers of red, gold and brown crepe paper. A five-piece orchestra furnished the music for the dance, and even the chaperons could hardly keep their feet still. The committee for the dance was Miriam Gross, Gertrude Potter, Mary Eccleston, Emma Holub, Will White, Paul Weber, Herbert Mathiesen, and Vincent Irish, commissioner of the entertainment. There were no wall-flowers at the dance, and everybody had a de- lightful evening. The Dansants On Friday, August 25th, a dansant was held in the Girls’ Gym, which was considered by all a most successful beginning to this term’s social activities. To refresh the thirsty dancers, punch was served, which was great- ly appreciated. The music was furnished by the “Texas” famous Orchestra, which consisted of “Red” Thomas, “Kenny” Kessler, and “Texas” Robis- chung. The Hallowe'en Party Contrary to the custom of holding three dances outside the school, each term, it was decided to hold but two at the Hotel Claremont this semester, and to have a party in the “gyms.” The second dance was held in the “gyms” on Friday evening, Oc- tober 27. The “gyms” were decorated with holly and_ mistletoe. Pumpkin lanterns gave a dainty effect. A five-piece orchestra lent their efforts. This dance was a decided success, and it is not improbable that a similar affair will be made the custom. The third dance of the term, an afternoon dance in the Girls’ Gym- nasium, was held on Friday, September twenty-ninth. Seventy-five couples claimed that they had never spent a more enjoyable after- noon. Senior Farewell Ball The last dance of the term was held on December the eighth in the ballroom of the Hotel Claremont. The hall was artistically deco- rated with the class colors and greens. It was a gay crowd of under-classmen that filled the hall, but there was many a sad faced senior. A committee of high seniors wag selected to take charge of the dance. They were: Claude Girvin, Will White, Hubert Kinney, Ralph Krueckel, Robert Robischung, Gladys Van der Naillen, Daphne Jewett, Marie Coakley, and Eunice Temen. Aida On October the second the music department made a short journey into the realm of grand opera, when thirty-five members of the Glee Club and several girls took part in a performance of Verdi’s Aida, given at the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Under the direc- tion of Josiah Zuro, world famous operatic director, these student singers were taught the score, and proved to be a decided factor in the opera’s success. Technical is proud of these fellows. The Garroters The “Garroters,” a delightful English comedy by W. D. Howells, was presented by the English department of the school on Friday, December 8, at major period. The auditorium was filled to capacity. The audience thoroughly enjoyed seeing Mr. Roberts’ shocks and sur- prises, Mr. Bemis’ righteous anger, Mrs. Roberts’ loving care of Mr. Roberts, and all the rest of the puzzles and surprises of the play. Much of the success of the play is due to the players, but they would never have done so well if it had not been for the efficient coaching of Miss Crandall, who dserves much credit. The players in the order in which they appeared were: Mrs. Roberts Margaret Brinkly Mr. Roberts Whitney Tenny Mary Strother Mr. Campbell ....Leon Dunning Bella, the maid Helen Finklestein Mr. Bemis Ray Larson Donald McKittrick Young Mrs. Bemis Mary Cleary Young Mr. Bemis George Smith The Rallies Under the capable leadership of “Kenny” Walsh the rallies this term were most successful. The “Gym” rallies were full of “jazz,” even when held under the difficulty of the split lunch period. The first event of the term was the Boys’ Freshman Reception. Under the guiding eye of a group of seniors the little ones were led by “Kenny” in a spectacular parade. The youngsters pledged their support of “Tech” in an oath administered by “Chick” Jordan. The big rallies came before the Alameda, Oakland, and Berkeley games. Two were in the auditorium, and one, a bonfire rally, on the campus. Such well-known speakers as Eddie Mahan and Johnnie Stroud were introduced, and gave the fellows some good advice and great encouragement. The big feature of the term was the bonfire rally, held the evening before the Oakland game. Speaking, singing, and a great parade to town made this affair most interesting. There were over a thousand fellows, and each one let loose all the old “pep,” as the flames soared skyward from the great pile of wood. Much credit is due to “Kenny” Walsh for the success of these ral- lies. He had big plans, and put them through in great style. “Kenny” is small, but has a wonderful bunch of “pep,” and has fine control over the fellows. He has been named the “Napoleon of Yell Leaders.” At the Alameda rally, a young pig was given the school as a mascot, and he certainly was a good rooter. There was many a sad tear, when, several days later, it was announced that “John Henry,” as he had been named, had ceased to be. A broken heart, result of the team’s failure to win the big games, was the cause of his demise. NUNTIN: tue opyitid Wil j i 1 fae Freshman Reception The boys’ freshman reception was held Friday, August 25, at major period. They were lured to the gym by an innocent notice, where they were advised not to resent any slight mauling in an address by Mr. Fisher. Then, bedecked with appropriate signs, such as “Ain’t I cunning?” “T don’t bite,” and “Mamma’s Darling,” led by the Tech Band, and bearing a large banner proclaiming them “Tech Frosh,” they marched to the front of the building, carefully guarded by older and more experienced brothers. They were greeted from the steps by Mr. Fisher, who said, “I wel- come you to this great school. Now then, throw away your childish ways and be men.” Then “Chick” Jordan, already known to-all the freshies, read the impressive Tech oath while every, right hand was raised and every freshie answered with a loud “‘yes.” An “Oski” and a “Kumati” closed the assemblage. TCT ENE BE RI Ow thes as Dorothy Shane, general man- ager. Mary Eccleston, assistant manager. Gladys Van der Naillen, finan- cial manager. The Girls’ Freshman Recep- tion of the term, conceded to have been the best ever given in the Technical High School, was held Wednesday afternoon, Sep- tember eighth, in the school au- ditorium. The program consisted of “The History of the Dance,” “Koon Komedy,” “English Cus- tom in a French Shop,” short talks by Miss Wilder and Mr. Fisher, “College Chorus,” “Mil- linery Chorus,” “The White Surprise,” and “The Freshman Welcome.” Dancing was held and _ re- freshments served in the gym- nasium at the close of the per- formance. Pee OS is fot Sr athe: at Nes SRS ae We e SY by 2 SS The Gym Pageant A most interesting event of the term was the outdoor athletic pa- geant held on November 29. The entire student body participated in the exhibition, which will be established as a regular semi-annual in- stitution. Accompanied by the faculty the students paraded to the campus in class groups, headed by the band. Following the review, the athletic portion of the day’s program took place. In addition to football, basketball and baseball games of the various class and school teams, track events, a crew flotilla drill, military parade, tumbling, gymnastics, pyramid building, and other school activities which have been made a part of the educa- tional curriculum were performed. In addition to the main portion of the athletic program, an exhibi- tion of minor sports, physical culture, girls’ sports and the like were also given. Scores of friends, parents and members of the school de- partment and visitors attended the exhibition, which is illustrative of the work performed throughout the year along health and right liv- ing lines. The Mikado The most notable activity of the music department this term was the performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado,” given on the afternoon of November 23 and evening of November 24. The cast for this production was drawn from the student body, and for the first time in local history a high school orchestra played the score. From the opening chorus to the fall of the curtain the opera was delightful. The music and humor of this quaint story of Japan was well interpreted. Like Orpheus of old, the singers sung their way to the hearts of the, listeners. The scenery and costumes were artistic, and the large audience which attended both performances pronounced the opera a success.

The Cadets Under the able leadership of Commandant George Hjelte, Major Thomas Griffin, Captain Uriel Smith in command of Company 20, Captain Donald McKittrick in command of Company 21, and an ef- ficient corps of officers and non-commissioned officers, the Cadet Bat- talion has had an eventful season. Many recruits entered the organ- ization in the early part of the term. The officers met the task of instructing them so well that they carry themselves as the veterans of the Spring semester. In October the cadet band, under Mr, Trutner, and a company, Captain McKitterick in command, escorted Compa- nies A and F of the Fifth Infantry, which was returning from the Mexican border, through Oakland to the Armory. Field exercises were held in the hills, blank ammunition making the problems very exciting and interesting. From time to time the cadets have been given gallery practice with 22 caliber rifles. Medals for those who qualified in the shooting were distributed. The appearance of the Battalion at the recent Athletic Field Day excited much comment on the soldierly way the organization executed the drills. The final Bat- talion review was held on December seventh, Colonel Dickey of the University of California Cadets being the reviewing officer.

The only meetings held were to decide the standing of crew as a sport, and to suggest a change in management of property used by various teams. At the first meeting, held in the auditorium, it was voted to place the crew as a major sport. There was strong opposition to this, and it was only after a third ballot was taken that the result was de- termined. The fate of crew is still in doubt, as it must be approved by the A. C. A. L. At the second meeting it was decided that “Wally” Martin should have charge of all the property of the various teams. Quite a little debate was held on the advisability of appointing a student officer to take the position. The Girls’ Athletic Association POSSE Wi OL Cet ee ace salad er acne President PN peice LON COO Maecenas eens cere ie oer 7 Secretary During this semester the Girls’ Athletic Association has made more progress than ever before. More girls have taken part in the various events and a greater interest has been shown in all respects. Four crews practiced faithfully twice a week at Lake Merritt, under direction of Miss Covey and Miss Landon. The first and second basketball teams, coached by Miss Landon, made a wonderful show- ing in their interclass games. Eighty girls went out for tennis. Through the efforts of Miss Covey and Miss Wilder the Board of Ed- ucation granted the G. A. A. money enough for two courts to be placed on the grounds. The hiking club took several hikes to Muir Woods and other points of local interest. The old constitution was revised. A contest was opened for a de- sign of “O. T. H. S.,” to be used as a substitute for block “T’s.”. A girls’ “Athletic Outlook” was published to announce the new “O. T. H. S.” and to sum up the year’s work completed in each department. | | Football | | With eleven “vets” back in suits it certainly looked like Tech’s year, but when one setback after another occurred, it was with a feel- ing of disappointment and regret that we lowered the curtain on the 1916 football season. Regret, not for the personnel of the team, least of all for the captain, but regret only for the circumstances which prevented this from being our big “T” team. The first and probably the greatest setback was the news that Jimmy Thoburn, Tech’s “mir- acle man,” would not coach the team. With what feeling this was received only those who came in close contact with Jimmy can tell, but certain it is, that something was lacking in the spirit of football this year that Jimmy could have supplied. The papers aptly described our team as one made up of individual players and stars, and in the main this was true. Taken individually, there was not a team in the state that could top our boys; taken col- lectively, even Oakland was able to hold us. The one bright spot in ou r season of disappointment is the record which Captain Starrett leaves as the climax to four successful years in high school athletics. Circumstances prevented him from cap- taining a winning team, but in the school we feel that “Skip’s” last year in high school athletics has not been unsuccessful. “Wallie’ Martin, a graduate of the University of California, was appointed athletic director to assist Mr. C. F. Martin. “Wallie” took charge of all the outside work and football. One of the fastest men in the backfield, the hardest tackler and the nerviest, Skip played a game of Rugby that for all-around worth, was second to none in the league. Others are more spectacular, but for his all-around work, our hats are off to the “Jap.” Manager “Johnny” Black, although playing in a new position, showed his versatility by playing his usual spectacular game. His kicking was up to form and played an important part in the team’s defense. It is said that misfortune never comes singly. This time it comes doubly, for the loss of Starrett and Black in the same year is something of a loss. In the scrum, “Pat” and “Hoge” worked together as only “Twins” can, while “Chick,” with Fairchild and Dougherty on either side, was the link that held the scrum together and enabled them to outhook their opponents. “Lew,” although new to the game, came out for spring practice and stuck with it. The other “Lou” played in hard luck with his injured knee bothering him, but was one of the stars in the Stanford “Frosh” game. “Tex” and Powning at rear rank were in the nature of a surprise. Powning has three years before him, while “Tex” has played his last game of high school football. “Texas” played his best game against Berkeley. Jack Smith, moved from rear rank to wing-forward, clinched his new berth by his work in the Lick game, and was one of the team’s most consistent fighters. MacMillan, although new to the game, played straight, hard foot- ball. He did especially well against Lick and Oakland. Judging by the “Mexican’s” showing this year, Modesto is consid- erable of a training camp. As a half-back, “Killie” compares favor- ably with any who have gone before. These aliens can sure play football. Captain-elect McMeekin, the Palo Alto immigrant, is one of the biggest boosts for that region the C. of C. could send out. At center three, “Mac” played a stellar game that left nothing to be desired. He was the individual star of the Oakland game, and starred in the Berkeley game until taken from the field on account of injuries. “Bill” Leggett at wing was strong on the defense and got off some neat tackles. ‘Bill’ has two years ahead of him. Guthrie Burt was new to the game but tried hard to fill the pivotal position at first-five. Burt played his best game at wing. “Duff” Gerlach, at full, tackled in a business-like manner that sel- dom failed to get his man. His kicks to touch were well placed. Girvin, last year’s full, showed his old willingness to try for any- thing. “Axel” Genesy was one of the faithful ones who stuck it out to the last. “Axel” played wing in the Oakland game. One of the big disappointments was the inability of “Mike” Sand- ford to represent Tech in the league. “Mike” was small, but what he lacked in stature he made up for in head work and speed. “Bob” Smale, too, was forced to forego his main occupation, that of playing football, to accept a position out of school. That left a big hole in the backfield, that was only filled when Black was played there. And so it’s over. The joys of victory, the disappointments of de- feat we have experienced them all. In every game they fought as Tech men should and carried with them, whether in victory or defeat, the support of a loyal student body. FREMONT 0—TECH 21. The first game of the season, a practice game with Fremont, re- sulted in a one-sided victory for Tech. Several new men made their appearance in the line-up. BUSHROD 6—TECH 5. Experience met inexperience, and experience won. Scored on twice by a heavy aggregation of former high school stars, Tech came back in the second half and forced over her only try of the day. Skip converted, but the scoring was ended. LICK 0—TECH 36. In a game featured by the stellar work of the “backs,” Lick took the count by even a bigger score than Fremont. Captain Starrett starred, with Manager “Jawn” playing a bang-up game at wing. STANFORD “FROSH” 6—TECH 3. Fighting hard to overcome a six-point lead, but unable to pierce the Cardinal defense, Skip’s “hopes” were returned losers in their game at the “farm.” Tech’s only try was scored by Dougherty, after stellar work by Black and Starrett. The newspaper decision was that Tech had outplayed her heavier opponents. SAN JOSE 3—TECH 19. The team made a trip to San Jose in Fords, Buicks and other makes of machines, and annexed another win. The Garden City lads showed themselves to be game losers and good hosts. ALAMEDA 0—TECH 0. The first league game of the 1916 season was played with Alameda. As Alameda had beaten Fremont by only three points, a certain de- gree of over-confidence, together with a lack of strong offensive work, kept the team from playing up to form. The game went for extra minutes, although several times the Tech “backs” threatened to score, McMeekin and Starrett playing exceptionally well. Herb Sandford played a fine game at wing, stopping several Alameda rushes by hard tackling. FREMONT 0—TECH 18. In the second league game, playing a more consistent brand of Rugby, the team defeated Fremont. Herb Sandford played stellar Rugby and was on the ball throughout. Starrett, McMeekin and Black played in big league form. OAKLAND 38—TECH 3. Over confidence and our old trouble, individuality, enabled the wearers of the Blue and White to hold us to a draw. Oakland played a well-balanced game, and demonstrated clearly what team-work can accomplish. Man for man we had them, but over-confidence under- mined our defense and lack of team-work spoiled our attack. McMeekin was the individual star, his work in the open field pro- viding one of the thrills of the game. Captain Starrett played his usual all-around game. “Johnny” Black used his boot to good ad- vantage. Oakland High celebrated after the game. BERKELEY 14—TECH 3. Playing a brand of Rugby not unlike the All-Blacks, Berkeley met our fighting aggregation and proved once more the superiority of a team playing as a unit over a team of individuals. The redeeming feature of the game was the playing of Captain Starrett and “Cutey” McMeekin, Skip scoring our only points on a place kick from the 25- yard line. For the first fifteen minutes, Berkeley was given the scare of her young life, but with Tech playing on the defensive and Berkeley starting rush after rush toward our line, it was only a question of time when they would get through. The first try came when Berke- ley wheeled the scrum near our line and Buttons, of Berkeley, scooped up the ball and dashed over. Chalmers, Bliss and Buttons scored during the remainder of the game, but only one try was converted. McMeekin, at center-three, was marked at all times, but put up a game fight until taken from the game on account of injuries. Kil- patrick and Gerlach played well, Gerlach stopping several Berkeley men with hard tackles. The big game drew a crowd of over 3000. Abe aS 2a: 4 She Se baa 4 et OR TA Se A - , Oe = ; CATS Eggelston Rooting The rooting this term far surpassed all expectations. The number that turned out to the rallies and games was almost twice as great as that of any other school. It is a mystery how the auditorium roof is still intact after the Alameda and Berkeley rallies. The showing at the Berkeley game was one of the largest that ever turned out to sup- port a high school team. It was at this game that the true Tech spirit was displayed, and the fellows and girls supported a losing team to the finish. I wish to show my sincere appreciation of the support given to me this term by the fellows and girls. “KENNY” WALSH. | BASEBALL For two consecutive years Tech has won the _ baseball championship of the A. C. A. L., and with the promising mate- rial that came to light during in- terclass this Fall, along with six of last year’s veterans, Tech’s chances for another champion- ship are very bright. The pitching staff looks to be espe- cially strong. Some good mate- rial for infielders and outfield- ers was also shown in this sea- son’s interclass. The squad will turn out for practice about February 20, and will be under the direction of Herb Remmer. Remmer has had considerable experience in baseball, having played with Sacramento in the Pacific Coast League, with Seattle in the Northwestern League, and for two years on the St. Mary’s Phoenix team. A schedule of practice games will be started about March 1, and the games will be with such teams as: U. C. freshmen, Stan- ford freshmen, Davis Farm, St. Mary’s College, and other teams around the bay. Those who will be on hand from last year’s team are: Cap- tain Johnny Paulino, who will come in from the outfield and will play second base; Bill Frei- tas, outfielder; Bill Keane, catch- er; “Duff” Gerlach, shortstop; “Pat” Barney, who will also change from the outfield, and play third base; and Johnny Gil- lespie and “Ham” McCourtney. pitchers. Last year three low freshmen made the team, which goes to show that everybody has a chance. Come out next Spring and show what you’ve got. Basketball With the league games sched- uled almost a month earlier than last year, and with Cap- tain Miller laid up with an in- jured knee, basketball prospects are anything but promising. To offset the disadvantage of the earlier schedule, however, Plymouth Center has been se- cured for six days during the Christmas holidays, and a team of from fifteen to twenty men will work out as a tentative first squad. Not such an easy disposition, however, can be made in Vaughn’s case, and Tech will go far to find a better guard than “Baldy.” Indications point to a speedy recovery, however, and the first game in all probabili- ties will find Miller in his old place. Track Although only three of last year’s track champions will be back, Captain McMeekin is re- lying upon new. material to make next year Tech’s year in track. Hoey in the pole, Daniels in the middle distances, and “Cutey” in the sprints, high and broad jumps, offer a nucleus for a 1917 track team. While the interclass this term brought out some of the “high steppers,” “Mac” is relying on next term’s interclass to bring out the “diamonds in_ the rough.” This term’s interclass, held November 15, was won by the Juniors. The results follow: 110-yard dash—Ist, McMee- kin; 2nd, Starrett; 3rd, Wilson. 440-yard dash—Ist, Oakley; 2nd, Hoey; 3rd, Clark. 880-yard dash — 1st, Fair- child; 2nd, Oakley; 3rd, Ger- lach. i 120 high hurdles—1st, Hutch- ison; 2nd, Kilpatrick; 3rd, Gard- ner. High jump —Ist, Vauhan; 2nd, Trevy; 3rd, Starrett. Javelin—Ist, Kilpatrick; 2nd, Gardner; 3rd, Brobst. Low hurdles—1st, Kilpatrick; 2nd, Hutchison; 3rd, Brobst. Shot—1st, Texas; 2nd, Fair- child; 3rd, V. Robinson. One mile—Daniels; Gerlach; Griffin. Score by points: Juniors, 43; Seniors, 24; Post-Grads, 8. ee Lm mame I a SA A SCR A a ? Girls’ Basketball Girls’ basketball has at last reached its goal at Tech. As the re- sult of a large turnout of excellent material, and the untiring efforts of our coach, Miss Landon, a winning team was produced this sem- ester, The first event of the term was the interclass tournament, played at Plymouth Center. The juniors and seniors, captained by Marie Colthurst, and the sophomores and freshmen, with Vida Smith as captain, played three games for the championship of the interclass; ae oe classmen winning the deciding contest by the close score of 2 to 20. On Friday evening, October 13th, the basketball girls entertained several of their friends at an informal dance at the home of Marie Colthurst in Berkeley. Oct. 31st—The first game of the season was lost to Ransome’s School of Piedmont by the score of 40 to 16; but, despite the score, Tech girls gave the Ransome champions a hard ‘fight. Nov. 14th—Displaying an excellent brand of basketball, Tech girls defeated Merriman’s school of Piedmont by the score of 30 to 8. At the end of the first half the score read, Tech 20, Merriman’s 4. Snap- py passing, clever field goals and excellent team work on the part of the purple and gold were the features of the game. The Team. Our fast combination of forwards: Miriam Gross (captain), with her long field throws; Winifred Hall, also a clever shot; Edith Cha- pell, and her accurate free goals; Olive McDonnell and Roberta Speddy, both experts at this position. In the center: Ione McDonell, our tall freshie, a wonder at touch; Minnie Brodke, one of the best all-round players on the team; Marie Colthurst, a veteran at the game; Dante Robbins, a comer, with speed and natural ability. At the guard positions: Vida Smith, whose sensational work was the feature of every game; Alma Timm (manager), prevented many a score with her clever guarding; Hilda Armstrong, one of the strong- est and most defensive players found anywhere. Mention must also be made of the alternatives, Florence Wood, Norma Moriarty, and Freda Brown, as their work aided the team materially and they certainly deserve credit. The Culax Hiking Club The Culax Hiking Club held its first meeting in the Gymnasium on August 28th, with a large attendance. Minnie Brodke was elected captain and Lyda Del Gado, manager. Friday afternoon was set aside for hiking. The first hike was made to the big “C.” Since then tramps in the Piedmont and Berkeley hills have been enjoyed. Gils’ Rowing This has been a most successful semester for girls’ rowing at Tech. Two crews, representing the juniors and seniors and the sophomores and freshmen, were entered in the big interclass regatta on Lake Merritt, Saturday, October 28th. With eight crews in competition, Tech girls’ junior and senior crew won the interclass race by over a boat length ahead of Oakland High, their nearest competitor, thereby being awarded the Tech loving cup and second place for the Bulletin cup. The sophomores and fresh- men were given fourth place. After the interclass, the first crew which will represent Tech in the annual Enquirer regatta next Spring was picked and practice begun. Miss Covey and Miss Landon, our faithful coaches, deserve special mention for their zealous efforts in behalf of the crew, as also does Minnie Brodke, our coxswain, whose untiring efforts in practice are always in evidence. Those who made the first crew are Minnie Brodke, cox; Nina Hol- brook, pilot; Marie Colthurst, Hilda Armstrong, Myrtle Peru, Gladys Frame, Carrie Edmiston, Dorothy Moring, Dorothy Houston, Bertha Swanson, Marjorie Melvin, Stella Peterson. se Girls’ Tennis Tech’s prospects in girls’ tennis for next term are very bright. With the proposed erection of two up-to-date courts on the school campus, and with much promising material in the field, a champion- ship team should be developed. This semester under the supervision of Miss Covey, Captain Ileen Taylor and Manager Olive McDonell, a successful interclass tourna- ment was played at Mosswood. The finals of this tournament were won by the sophomores, when Ileen Taylor and Eleanor Grover de- feated Olive McDonell and Leslye Logan, freshmen. The school team is composed of Ileen Taylor, Eleanor Grover, and Olive McDonell, all clever raqueters. Boys Crew Although this season was not the regular one for crew, “Tech” had the finest crew that ever pulled oars on the Lake. “Tech” defeated Berkeley, but was eliminated in the finals when they were barely nosed out by University High and Vocational High schools. Clarence Smith coached the first crew, and through his efforts the fellows were able to show their superiority in form over any other crew. The two big features of this term’s crew were the trip to Goat Island, which will always remain in the memory of those who went, and the regatta held for all the sixty members who turned out for crew. With the same fellows back next term there will be no reason why “Tech’s” salts should not bring home the Enquirer Cup, which will be the big event of the spring season. They know how it is done.

It is put on very quickly in case of an emergency.” Co-ed—“I see; something like a kimona.” Reporter—‘Have you been seriously injured?” English Soldier—“Yes, sir; nose, sir.” “May I—May I kiss you, dear?” said he. “First, I want one thing made clear,” said she, “Have you ever kissed a girl before, or tried?” “No,” he answered—she was sure he lied. Then with willing lips, she whispered, “Well, Yes, you may, since you don’t kiss and tell.” Son—“What is a football coach, father?” Dad—“Why, that is an ambulance, my son.” She—“How dare you?” He—‘T couldn’t help myself.” She—‘But you did.” Son—‘I am a big gun in this high school.” Dad—“Then I should hear better reports.” Jones (in restaurant)—‘‘See here, waiter, I found a collar button in the salad!” Waiter—‘Isn’t that part of the dressing? The salad wouldn’t be dressed without it, would it?” He—“Let’s take a spin.” She—“All right, old top.” PAE he Nt si Ba da as alae a Se te POLYTECHNIC —COLLEGE— . oH 13th and Madison Streets, Oakland, Calif.
