SPECIAL EVENTS LIEUTENANT WILLIS Not since Lieutenant Dagger gave his thrilling talk last term, has any- one presented the Tech students with such a vivid lecture on the war as that given at a special major assembly in May by Lieutenant Harold B. Willis, formerly of Harvard. Lieutenant Willis’ account of his experiences with the French Lafayette Esquadrille, his capture by the Huns after being forced to land in his machine twenty-five miles behind the German lines, and later his two unsuccessful attempts and final escape, held the students and faculty alike in spellbound interest. Among other things, he told in detail his prepara- tions for his final escape from the Hun prison camp. He and his companion made uniforms and wooden rifles. A belt buckle made from a sardine can was one unique article produced. It was neces- sary to short circuit a great lighting system guarding the camp, mix with a Hun guard, travel for seven days across mountains and finally swim the Rhine before he and his one companion reached safety. Lieutenant Willis illustrated his lecture with photographic slides. The assembly was arranged by the Honor Society to raise money for the scholarship fund. THE SHAKESPEAREAN CONTEST Never before has California shown such enthusiasm over the works of Shakespeare as this term when the University of California invited all the high schools of the state to participate in a Shakespearean contest. The English department at Tech entered the contest. A system of tryouts from each English room was arranged, from which a group of five boys and five girls spoke before the school assembly. From these, the boy and girl giving the best delivery of the selection were chosen to compete at the Greek Theatre on April twenty-sixth. The girls chosen for the assembly tryout were Bernice Berwin, Dallas Anderson, Beatrice Smoot, Marian Ellis-and Rosebud Lane. The boys were Arthur Hunt, Charles Birnbaum, Hallet Hammutt, Holt Wellender and Ray Larson. Dallas Anderson and Arthur Hunt were chosen to represent Tech at the Greek Theatre. After an unusually hard competition, a Los Angeles boy and a girl from San Francisco received the first prizes. The critics said that they had never witnessed finer amateur dramatic work than that pre- sented at the contest. STUDENT OFFICE, In my opinion this has been the most successful term in the history of Tech. The main reason for this was the closing of the breach or the uniting of the athletes and military unit. Ever since the cadets were or- ganized there has been a keen sense of rivalry between the two factions. The school was divided, the students pulling in opposite directions. Ata banquet where ten leading athletes and ten cadets represented the school, the affair was settled conclusively. This new order of things applies to the present R. O. T. C. unit also. Marked improvement in good fellowship and co-operation in school interests has been the result. The student body government proved satisfactory this term with the aid of the student body as a whole, which responded in a satisfactory manner. Championships in two major sports, track and baseball, are two more proofs of the loyalty and lively taterest displayed by the students. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the student body as a whole for co-operating with me so well and getting behind me at all times. My only wish is that in the future, all semesters at Tech will be as prosperous and successful as the term just ending. ED.

Earl La Zansky 2nd Lieutenant and Drum Major............ Roy Adams This term has been an active and successful one for the band. Not only has this success been evident by the hearty appreciation shown by the students of Tech, both at the assemblies and at the games, but also from the compliments and the letters of appreciation sent by the various outside organizations for which the band has performed. The entire band of over fifty members joined the government Rh. O, T. C. 2nd is probably the only band of its size belonging to this organization. A baseball team was also organized this term composed of band mem- bers. Although during the past terms the band has had many oppor- tunities, it had never before entered into athletics. This term, however, the spirit was shown, and the coming semester may be looked forward to as even more successful than this term for the band. CHORAL CLASSES The choral classes of Tech, which took active part in community sing- ing during the war, have by no means decreased in importance this term. Glee clubs were not organized, however, as it was thought that the choral classes could work better as a unit in preparing for the big event of the year, “The Festival of Music,” which took place in the Civic Auditorium on May 16. The combined music departments of the Oakland schools, under the direction of Mr. Glenn Woods, made such a success of this affair that it will probably be made a yearly event. Several smaller programs were presented by the choral classes during the major assemblies throughout the term. They developed under the splendid training of Miss Kummer and Mrs. Davis. ORCHESTRA President’ = 2... 02, 5. Ji5 ee eee ee Norman Sondag Naee-President, 0 ae ee Earl La Zansky Secretary and: redsurers 22. Carlos Bartels The first and second orchestras, under the direction of Mr. Franklin Carter, have both shown unusual progress this term. The first orchestra has played on several occasions for outside organizations, such as_ the Adelphian Club in Alameda, besides taking part in the regular school activ- ities. The overture to one of the plays at the Shakespearean Festival on April 26 was supplied by this organization. The second orchestra has not been organized as a club this term, but has worked successfully under the direction of its leader. It is composed of twenty-nine pieces, the majority of which will go to make up next term’s first orchestra. With the addition of these fifteen or more musicians, the first orchestra of the fall of ’19 promises to be even above Tech’s usually high standards. sseyy AuoWUIeH Piano Club The Tech Piano Club, which flourished at Tech several years ago, was given up last term on account of numerous interruptions. It has been reorganized this term, however, and is now one of the school’s most active organizations. Formerly, any piano student was eligible to the club, but this term, Miss Gantt, Tech’s piano instructor, decided on the more suc- cessful policy of limiting the membership to those active in piano work at Tech. The meetings are held once each month, at which time the differ- ent pupils are given the opportunity of playing selections before the other students. The compositions are chosen from composers whom the pupils have recently studied and thus a definite connection is made between the two phases of study. This recital work has increased interest in the club besides giving experience and confidence to the students participating. WZ VY SP ase os !

Under the supervision of Johnny Walbridge and his danc@ecommittce everyone who went to them had a good time. On the seventh of March, a large crowd turned out in the girls’ gym and showed every indication of enjoyment at the first of these pleasant affairs. A baseball dansant was given on March twenty-third, and the proceeds turned over to the team. The proceeds from the dansant on April twenty- fifth were turned over to the Scribe fund. It was the first of the dansants given in the new gymnasium and particularly pleasant because every one had plenty of foot and elbow room. The Senior Dansant took place in the new gym, and the proceeds from it went toward fixing the floor. Being a party for the high seniors, with the low seniors as hosts, the dansant was a great success. Music for all the dansants was furnished by Puss Donahoo’s orchestra—Tech’s best. SENIOR FAREWELL Gay posters announced the Senior Farewell Dance, which was given at the Home Club, June thirteenth. The hall was attractively decorated with greens and Chinise lanterns. The entire atmosphere of this last farewell to the seniors was one of happiness, long to be remembered by the eraduates. Johnny Walbridge, Beau Brown, and Vernon Jeffery were responsible for the most successful dance of the semester, while Windy Rue, Ted Bradberry, Harold Girvin and Harris Hobron furnished the music. Following an established custom in Tech, the low seniors gave the dance to the high seniors. It was the last big social function of the term. R. O. T. C. DANCE The R. O. T. C. boys were hosts at the Berkeley Tennis Club for the first big dance of the season. The music was excellent, being furnished by the California Orchestra.

The proceeds from the play took the place of dues to pay for senior activities and to help finance the class book. The caste was drawn from the high senior class with the exception of two minor parts, and the talent displayed was a pleasant surprise to all who witnessed the play. “What Became of Parker” is, briefly, the story of a loving wife who de- lights in worrying her husband. While she is away taking a vacation, her husband disappears. The remainder of the play deals with “What Be- came of Parker!” Miss Bernice Berwin was delightful in the role of the mischievous wife, while the part of Parker was equally well interpreted by Edison MacLeod. Miss Berwin and Mr. MacLeod were supported by an admirable cast which was as follows: William Torrence, Parker’s partner........

W. Davis. The production which was well supported by the students, proved one of the most successful assemblies of its kind ever held at Tech. Ceres and Proseprina, the leading roles, were ably sung by Elma Fér- guson and Isabel Silsley, respectively. The interpolated Cherry Blossom trio from “Madame Butterfly” was sung by Ralpha Riehl, Ramonta Hur- mezian, and Pearl Radford. Various groups representing spring flowers, pussy willows, frost elves, and sunny rays danced themselves into the hearts of the audience. The production was so successful that it was invited to repeat the per- formance at a meeting of the Parent-Teachers’ Association. FRESHMAN RECEPTION Under the able management of Francis Hatch, the girls witnessed one of the best Freshman Receptions in years. Unlike last year’s reception, it was for the girls only. The reception opened with a reading by Erminie Wheeler, which was followed by a skit, “Trials of a Station Keeper,” well put over by Pauline Ayers and Ieen McBrien. Rosebud Lane and her company of little danc- ers proved attractive in “Tech’s Welcome to Spring.” The Musical Melange, directed by Mildred Crawford, included a bevy of pretty girls in clever costumes. Next came the Candy Chorus with eight girls in quaint costumes, who sold popcorn to the audience. Francis Hatch then intro- duced Mr. Fisher, who welcomed Tech’s freshmen. “The Burglar,” a one- act comedy, followed and then Peggy Spruance whistled a few numbers, to the delight of the audience. Orientale, presented by Francis Hatch and several other dancers, brought forth much applause. The Fashion Show, displaying some of the latest “creations” to please Milady, concluded the program. The money cleared by the production and the popcorn sale during the intermission was given to the scholarship fund. MISS CIVILIZATION During the past term, Miss Helen Crandall, head of the dramatics de- partment, produced three one-act plays. At the major period on March 28, her dramatics class presented “Miss Civilization,” in which Beryl Sale courageously entertained three desper- adoes, Ray Larson, Ed Erdman, and Lowell Blackburn, until rescued by a train crew headed by Douglas Miller. The play proved successful and was enthusiastically applauded by the students. The two other plays given were “Pantaloon” by James M. Barrie, and “The Flower of Yeddo”, by Victor Mapes. The first is a typical Barrie fantasy. The cast included Phyllis O’Brien as Fairy, Frances Hatch as Harlequin, Lydia Fogg as Joy, and Pauline Ayres as Pantaloon. The Book Worm Catight Here and There errs TM ne uN TT Nat Sherburne After hearing Lawrence Miller give a vivid account of his experi- ences in France and in the service, we deemed it of sufficient interest to the students to be published in the class book. Miller, who re- turned to Tech this semester, saw active service at Verdun, St. Mihiel and the Argonne Forest until gassed in the Argonne Forest in October. The following is a portion of the detailed account of his two years’ soldiering “over there.”—Editor’s Note. The Tale of a Buck Private Arranged by Irene Carrick “Boy, howdy, so this is France!” “We pulled into port about 6 o’clock in the morning after an all night ride across the Channel. We made the trip on an English cattle boat which would hold comfortably about 300 persons. We had in the neigh- borhood of 1500 on board. “We docked at Le Havre and it was sure sunny France. It was a beau- liful, cloudless morning, and the place certainly looked good. As one of the boys expressed it, ‘Even Hades plus. a little water and some flowers would look good this morning too.’ “We lined up on the dock and started on our march to the camp. We came ona bunch of German prisoners working on the dock and, as it was our first glimpse of the Germans, it gave us quite a thrill. “We spent the night in camp and the next day: were introduced to a French box car with that well-known sign, “40 hommes-8 chevreaux,” meaning forty men or eight horses. It would have been all right if they had only put forty men in there, but there were about fifty-two in my crowd. We rode for a day and a night to a replacement camp at La Cour- tine, staying there two days, and then after another two day and night ride in the box cars I found myself on the way to the front. It was pretty quick traveling. We had all expected to have some training in France before getting to the front, but they shot us right through. I was sent with thirty of the replacements to “C” battery of the 5th field arillery. They were just about to pull off the Soissons drive at that time. I stayed up there about a week and saw a little action and pulled down to Toul for a little rest. “En route there I had one of the hardest experiences I have ever had in my life, namely to ride in a French box car with eight horses. I thought it was pretty tough to have to stand up for three days, but I found it was a lot worse to travel with a bunch of horses, because they are always falling down and kicking or biting. I had twenty-four hours of that when we ar- rived at Toul, disembarked and went to a little town about five miles from Toul. “The only excitement we had in any way at all was the night we pulled in there when a Jerry aviator shot at us with his machine gun. There was an air raid every night it didn’t rain. During that two weeks it was sun- shiny weather, about the only stretch of good weather I saw in France. “We pulled up on the St. Mihiel front into a woods that was about ten or twelve miles from the front lines, and on that front was where the hard work started for the artillery. “The roads were in awful condition. They were slimy with mud and water two or three feet deep in some places. We went out every after- noon, starting about three. We would ride to an ammunition dump any- where from ten to fifteen kilometers away, load up with ammunition and make the run up to the front line and back. “Now the battery position, it happened, was up between Beaumont and Schiespay and was about 800 yards from the front line trenches. We had to pull up there once in broad daylight, in plain sight of the German front line trenches. This particular night we got to the ammunition dump all right about two or three in the morning. We started out and everything was fine when along came a German airman who dropped a Very light. This is a kind of parachute affair which, when dropped from an aeropl ane, lights up the surrounding country. Whatever the aviator sees he drops a bomb on. As luck would have it no bombs came and we got by. “We pulled on down the road. The lead driver noticed an object lying on the road and said, ‘Get off and see what that is.” So I dismounted and went over. It was a hind quarter of beef. The next day we had plenty of slum,—good old army stew. “At last we arrived at the battery position which was about 800 yards from the front line trenches. It was almost daylight, but luckily it hap- pened that there was a kind of low hanging mist that night and I guess it is all that saved us as it was broad daylight when we pulled out. If it hadn’t been for that mist they would have blown us all to nothing. We started on a gallop up hill, the shells coming faster. The horses just stretched out their legs and didn’t seem to touch the ground; I don’t think there was a bump. I took off my helmet and trained up on my team, but couldn’t get them to go any faster. We made the twelve kilos back to the horse line in about nothing flat, and those muddy woods sure looked like home, sweet home. It was a pretty close call for all of us. “At one o'clock on the morning of September 2nd, the St. Mihiel drive opened. The bombardment started at one o’clock in the morning and the Germans must have though that all hell had torn loose. It happened that I was on guard that night at the horse line on third relief, which consisted of four hours’ duty, from one to five in the morning. That day the cook had been very kind and had made us a bunch of doughnuts. There were about 250 of them left over from supper and a private on the relief before us put us wise to it. When the cook arrived the next) morning he dis- covered that about 150 doughnuts had disappeared. “We were called up before the Battery Commander and he wanted to know ‘what in hell became of those doughnuts?’ ‘How many did you eat?’ he asked me. ‘About half a dozen,’ I said. ‘Half a dozen? Well, I will give you six days extra fatigue.’ A day’s extra fatigue meant two hours at work after everything else was done. You spent that time out there digging for two hours, and when you had the hole finished you would fill it up again. So I had six days of that and it was lucky I didn’t have to finish it up. “The St. Mihiel drive was on and the next morning we pulled up to a large forest. After about a week we left St. Mihiel and pulled over on the Verdun front, and got up into the Argonne Woods about October 1st. I ; don’t remember exactly the date we opened up in the Argonne, but any- way, we did get up there. “There was another one of the doughnut kings, as I was called from the experience with the doughnuts, whose name was Nelson. He was a Swede and spoke very broken English, but was a good-natured fellow, never swore, smoked or drank. All he did was chew. I used to like to talk to him because he took things just as they came. He never crabbed; he figured it was all in the day’s work. He drove a lead team going up to the Argonne. The roads were flooded with water and it took us three days to get there. It was so cold that our slickers were practically stiff. We had no other c oats and no gloves. Anyway he was driving this lead team and for some reason he jumped off and drove through some bushes into what he thought was a field, but instead of a field he jumped into a lake about eight feet deep. When he came to the surface he clung to some bushes, and instead of a long string of cuss words, all he said was, ‘How the dog- gone, dog-gone, is a feller to get out of here?’ That is all he said and up to the time I saw him last he wasn’t dry. It sure takes a lot of grit and self control to keep yourself from saying worse than that. “We pulled up at the Argonne, taking our position outside of a town named Very. On the way up there we stopped for about two hours on a crossroad, which anybody who has been to France will tell you is the worst place to stop. There is traffic coming from four directions and the crossroads are shelled continually. We stopped for two hours at this cross- road. I have been scared in my life, but I don’t think I was ever so fright- ened as I was that night. You might as well say that there was no chance at all. My guardian angel was sure with me that night as I did not get blown to kingdom come. “We spent the night in a small village. It was just about daylight when we got our orders to move up to another position, but as I was busy, and sore, and wet, and disgusted, I didn’t notice when we rode into a pocket of gas. It was too late, when we did hit it, for me to get off the gloves and get the sas masks out. By the time I did get around to where I could put it on we were out of it, but I had enough to knock me out. “T started to vomit almost immediately, but I stuck to the team for about twenty-six hours. We hauled ammunition all the rest of the night and at two o’clock next afternoon J dropped off the team. I woke up on a wagon, way back on the horse line. Now gas isn’t a very' pleasant thing, and personally I would rather get shot in the arm or leg or most any place in the body than get gassed. You get so weak that you are just all in. You can’t go any farther. I was sent to a hospital where there were six colored men and a German prisoner in the tent. The German; had been shot through the left lung. These colored fellows searched the Ger- man and took everything he had including a picture of his mother and sister. I thought they were going to take his shoes too. They read his stuff and looked over a few papers he had, talking about their own bravery as soldiers. “Along about three in the morning came a shell which hit the ground fifty yards from the hospital. One of these fellows raised up and hollered ‘Good Lord, I am gone.’ He thought he was gone, and out of the tent he went. He must have gone to a dug-out and stayed there, for I never saw him afterwards. “This German, you have to hand it to him. He looked like only a kid, and a good-looking kid too. He was shot right) through the left lung. When they found him all he had over it was a piece of court plaster. Every time he breathed you could hear the wind through the lung, and all he asked for was coffee. It was fed to him through a rubber tube. The only groan he let out during the whole time was when the first shell came over. Now, that is enough to scare anyone. He told the medical man that he had lain out in No Man’s Land for five days without anything to eat or drink. “IT was finally sent to another hospital about the first of November, where I stayed until about two days after Christmas. I lay on my back about two or three months, but along about two weeks before Christmas I got up and was put on “K. P.” in the ward. “I went from 108 to 164 pounds in three weeks. Believe me the grub was good. We had chicken and milk and everythin g. As a Christmas dinner we had turkey. Good-night! but it was good. We had two nurses eat with us, and one of the nurses got in a Christmas box a two-pound box of good French chocolates from the States. We all helped her eat them. “The French sing two songs, the Marseillaise and Madalon. I learned Madalon in France and never expected to hear it in this country. Believe me, those fellows can sing it. “About two days after Christmas I was drying a dish when the ward- master came up to me and said, ‘Miller, put down that dish. You are go- ing home.’ I didn’t have to be told twice. That was my Christmas present. I went down stairs and got my few belongings together. They consisted of a comb and brush and a tooth brush. I went over to the Hotel Inter- national and stayed there all night and pulled out about eight the next morning, and, boy, it was good to be leaving that place. I had made lots of friends and I rather hated to leave the good grub, because I knew it was good grub, but just the same the Statute of Liberty was better. “We loaded on at five in the afternoon to cross the Channel, and pulled out about one in the morning. There was a colored comedian who gave us a little entertainment. I remember one joke very well. He said that the Statute of Liberty would have to about face if she ever wanted to see him again. “We had a rough trip back. It took us twelve days to come back, when we ought to have made it in nine at the most. We had seven days of the roughest weather I ever want to experience. Well, we reached New York and pulled into harbor about eleven at night. It was pretty foggy. Anyway, I stayed up all night long to greet Miss Liberty, and I wasn’t the only one, either. We were right out on deck, boy, and the funny part of it was we didn’t get to see her until about seven o’clock in the morning. When the fog parted some one hollered, “There she is!’ and happy, well, Pll say so. It was light enough to see the build- ings and it was ‘Home, Sweet Home.’ Many of those fellows had never expected to see it again. “They certainly treated the fellows fine back East. You have to hand it to New York for giving the boys a welcome home. We came back by Chicago, seeing the town, then on to Omaha, where we were treated royally. “When we reached Oakland we were met by the canteen workers with clam chowder and cheers. We went from here right to a hospital at Camp Fremont, where we were discharged. SPECIAL EVENTS THE “MOVIE.” “T. Haviland Hicks, Jr.,”’ was the title of a movie given the first of this term for the purpose of enlarging the fund which is to pay for a monument to commemorate the heroism of Tech faculty and students who served in the Great War. The picture was a success financially, as it was heartily supported by the students who highly approved Mr. Fisher’s idea of leaving a lasting tribute to these patriots. Edward Hogarty and Charles Midgely managed the affair. HONOR SOCIETY ASSEMBLY The semi-annual award of gold and silver T’s to honor students was made at our assembly on June sixth, by Mr. Massey, one of the committee selected for the purpose of electing students to the Honor Society. The requirements for wearing the T’s, and the names of the winners of both gold and silver pins were read. Judge Everett Brown, the speaker of the occasion, had for his title, “Stop, Look and Listen!” which he said applied to all phrases of life, whether in an athletic or professional line. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Franklin Carter, gave several selections. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS That psychological tests in the future will be important factors in rating the mentality of students in public schools, was demonstrated this term at Tech when such tests were made. They were given several times, at first according to grade, such as freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes, then individuals. In the latter tests, students were chosen at random, so that an idea of average mentality might be ascertained. The results of these tests were not made public, but are recorded in the school department at the City Hall. COMMANDER GLASSFORD ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY Commander Glassford of the Shaw Convoy Service spoke to the students at an assembly on Thursday, May twenty-ninth, telling of his experiences while in the navy. Commander Glassford’s vivid tales of camouflaged ships, U-boats, doughboys and disagreeable lady passengers, delighted the student body. His pleasing personality and interesting stories won the im- mediate approval of all who attended the assembly. ill LS Aiea Low Senior Class President. :....::...4.....5 ee William Engs Vice-President 3)... ee Walter Bunker NSECrelary? =... os ee Leslie Logan Treasurer, 22) 3s a Kenneth MeNiel Sergeant-at-Arms.. 20) eee Robert Berger The class of December ’19 was organized by Commissioner of Organi- zations Bangle early in the term and the above named officers elected. A number of meetings were held during the term at which the class pins were selected, plans for a dance made, and a program arranged for Senior Day. A dance was given by the high seniors on Friday afternoon, May 16, in the boys’ gym. The proceeds went towards paying for the new floor in the gym. Senior Day was held on June 6, the program consisting of pie- eating contests, relay races, and tugs-of-war, together with the usual ser- pentining and fun peculiar to class days. Through the efforts of the efficient officers and the careful guidance of Miss Bailey, the faculty advisor, much was accomplished by the low senior class during the past semester. Junior Class President Willis Palmer Vice-President Winifred Hill Secretary Rebecca Gray Boys’ Treasurer Guy Johnson Girls’ Treasurer Caroline Kenyon One of the most active organizations of the school this term has been the junior class of 1920. The junior class had been inactive as an organization until President Engs and Commissioner Bangle reorganized it this term. John Walbridge was elected president, but later resigned. Wee Palmer was then elected to fill the vacancy. Boo Olds was appointed athletic chairman and a baseball game was played with the seniors, the juniors winning 7 to 0. On May twenty-ninth an afternoon dansant was given over to the Junior Prom. The affair was an enjoyable one. Miss Wythe was the faculty advisor. Kenneth Brown Muriel French Combined Language Club The consolidation of Tech’s three foreign language clubs this term was an important event in the history of the school clubs. This organization is the first of its kind in any of the high schools in the Bay region. Its policy is to interest the members more fully in the three languages, French, Spanish, and Latin, and to bring them into closer contact with other school activities. The members have planned a program which includes the study of the literature, life, and customs of the different countries in which these languages are spoken. The club is keeping well in mind the motto of Tech:: “Each for all and all for each.” It promises to be one of the big organizations of the school. Bruce Martin Calvert Smoot Honor Society The most successful six months of its career was enjoyed by the Honor Society this semester. At first it was thought that the shortening of last term would prevent many pupils from being elected and cause many members to drop out. However, the usual high standing of the society was not only maintained but raised, even under these adverse conditions. In December, 1917, the Honor Society numbered 190 members, and in June, 1918, it had 210. In January, 1919, 216 were elected to member- ship for the current term. Of these, 152 were girls and 64 were boys. Especially noticeable was the increase in the number of students that were awarded gold T’s.

The club has a large membership. Its emblem is a V crossed with an anvil. Meetings were held every other Wednesday at the major period in the shops. The purpose of the club is to promote good fellowship and increase the knowledge of commercial shopwork. In order to accomplish this, various kinds of entertainments were held, such as vaudeville shows, bean feeds, tug rides and several interesting trips to manufacturing plants and ship- yards of this vicinity. The club has been interested in all patriotic movements and furnished several stars in Tech’s service flag. It also presented the Student Loan Fund with a liberty bond. A great deal of the success of this organization is due to the work of Mr. Fred Wetmore and his efforts for the last two terms. Alumni Association President Leonard Jordan Vice-President Vesta Ewert Secretary Lucy Bradley Treasurer Leslie Van Vrankin A theatre party at the Fulton playhouse and an informal dance in the girls’ gymnasium at Tech were the extent of the social activities of the Alumni Association last semester. The two functions were greatl y enjoyed by those who attended, but the number of regular members is small. It is for this reason that the alumni endeavored to bring the old students together in a social way and to interest them in the association. Plans are being made for hikes, tug rides and other social gatherings for next term. It is hoped that these reunions will be of interest to the present high seniors. The alumni intend to give a dance, during the fall term, to the Tech boys who have been overseas, and are desirous of having a large membership to insure its success. On account of the epidemic of last term, interest in the association lagged, but with the large number of graduates from the June class a successful term is anticipated for the fall. } a i 4 Y y Business Practice Club President. t2.tc,3 5... ee Ole Paulsen Vice-President, 22.3), tee eee Helen Morrissey secretary and. | reasdurer = eee Anita Schneider Representative 4.42} ee ee Elsie Moore During the war period, the Business Practice Club was energetic in patriotic activities of the school and community. This semester, since the war has closed, the club has considered it a privilege to send representatives to the War Camp Community Service which meets the second and last Friday of each month. This is one of the ways in which the club is doing its bit for community service. These girls also co-operate with officers in charge of various kinds of work now being done by the soldiers at the Letterman Hospital. The club is striving to bring the school, the business man, and the student into closer touch. They derived a great deal of benefit from visiting vari- ous commercial houses and manufacturing plants where they find the business man not only willing but anxious to co-operate with them. Club President Richard Archard Vice-President Holt Wellender Secretary ... Helen Sullivan Treasurer Wallace Yates Com. of Entertainments John Shea The Science Club was organized in the fall term of 1918, a constitution adopted and the above officers elected for the ensuing year. Although greatly handicapped at first on account of the influenza, the Science club has proven to be one of the most active organizations in the school. The club has a membership of forty students and meets every other Wednesday. Prominent scientists were invited to speak to the club at the meetings where many interesting experiments were performed, During the term a trip was made to the Shredded Wheat Factory, a hike taken to Mt. Tamalpias, and one or two dances given at the members’ homes. The most important event of the term was Prof. G. S. Hildebrandt’s lecture on “Gas Warfare,” at which three high schools were well rep- resented. Py sig mo Oe Forum a JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE President V. D. Vincent Secretary Willis Palmer Treasurer Guy Johnson Sergeant-at-Arms Gene Fitzgerald Although it took the Junior Chamber of Commerce some time to get started, it was a success this semester. Its members showed the right spirit and helped in every business proposition that came up. The Cham- ber had a team in the Bone League and one of the best in the league. The members were fortunate in getting outside speakers from the Oak- land Chamber of Commerce to tell them the value of such an organiation in a school like Tech. RADIO CLUB. President Secretary-Treasurer Chief Operator The Radio Club was reorganized this term after having been inactive for over six months on account of government orders that all amateur stations should be shut down during the war. The club has an excellent sending and receiving set installed in the science department. Members of this organization have displayed much interest in the study of wireless under the leadership of Mr. S. E. Coleman. The object of the club is to give instruction to boys having intentions of becoming wireless operators in the future. Mr. Coleman as the faculty advisor, with his wide knowledge of wireless telegraphy, was a great help to the members of the club. FORUM DEBATING SOCIETY President George Patrick Secretary-Treasurer Harold Hass Sergeant-at-Arms Faculty Advisor Once again a debating society has been formed at Tech, and this time it is hoped, with success. A new constitution was adopted by the mem- bers, which provided among other things for a membership consisting of boys only. Any boy student of Tech is eligible. The purpose of the organization is to encourage interest in debating and to train the students to express their own opinions and hold them. It also serves the same purpose as a class in public speaking. The policy of the club has been to confine its debates to school questions, avoiding subjects outside the ordinary student activities. ii i gual arian ret NAN RA ARE EER EEE RE PRED Main Office Force Mr. Ewing’s Office Force o oO a) ° = o = ©o an ty o 7 S eS n a = w nm ee OC — fa = i) Or.1 3G: R. Ry 0.22) CG. The policy of organizing junior units of the R. O. T. C in high schools having been adopted by the government at the close of the war, the Tech- nical High School established such a unit at the beginning of this term, converting the High School Cadet battalion into such a unit. It is easily seen that the R. O. T. C. offers everything that the Cadets did and a great many advantages in addition. That is why the Cadets joined the new organization practically unanimously. Tech was fortunate in be- ing the first unit to organize in this city. Soon Oakland, Fremont, and Vocational high schools followed. The Tech unit has a total enrollment of about three hundred members. Captain C. N. Clark, of the United States Infantry and commandant of the S. A. T. C. stationed at Tech last term, was detailed as superintendent of the Oakland school military de- partment and has his headquarters at Tech. When the R. O. T. C. was organized every member automatically be- came a private. Thus the old Cadet officers were reduced to a level with the other men. A system of tryouts was arranged, and at present but SIX officers have been appointed. They are Major Douglas Miller, Captains Pressley Price, Edward Erdman, Austin Tichenor, and Harold Fuller, and First Lieutenant Warren Nash, assigned as unit supply officer. The organization consists of five large companies and the band, the latter taken as a unit. The drill periods this term were the first, fifth, and tenth. One of the features of the organization this term was the R, O. T. C. dance given at the first of the term. It was held at the Berkeley Tennis Club and the entire student body was invited. The affair was a success, financially and socially. The organization also took a prominent part in the Senior Day celebra- tion staged on the school campus, by exhibiting some drills and parading. Upon entering the organization, a student must take two years unless discharged on account of graduation or physical disability. The work is taken under the supervision of a United States Army officer. The second two years, or the senior department, are taken in the uni- versities or colleges. A commutation of sustenance is allowed in the senior department, and at the end of four years, if the student has passed his work satisfactorily, he is commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Reserves. In both departments clothing, uniforms, shoes, leggings, overcoats, rifles, camp equipment and most all other necessities for army life are furnished free of charge by the government. A camp of six weeks is maintained each summer by the government, which is not compulsory, but which any member of the R. O. T. C. may attend. However, before one can secure his commission he must attend at least one of these camps.. THE TECHNICAL Y. W. C. A.

A number of pleasant affairs have marked the last term, the main one being a farewell to the senior girls.

A hike to Redwood canyon was the only social activity beside several programs given at the regular meetings for the entertainment of the club members.

The members who did attend the meetings carried out the original idea of the associa- tion in discussing subjects which are of common interest to the teachers and parents of the school. The “Question Box,” which was introduced this term proved an attrac- tive manner of presenting the topics for discussion. Each member wrote one or more questions, all were put together, and then the slips of paper on which they were written were drawn from the box one by one. In this way each member was able to ask a question. SPECIAL EVENTS SENIOR DAY Several low seniors and juniors conceived the idea Senior Day of kid- napping Raymond Larson, senior president, and Brick Muller, star athlete. The two boys were taken to Moraga, where they were left, tied hand and foot. In the meantime, the low and high seniors paraded in front of the school in fantastic costumes ranging from a Chinese coolie farmer to a dainty Pierette in black and white. Baby buggies, teddy bears, goats and chariots checked the traffic for several minutes while the spectators enjoyed the fun. A searching party found the two seniors and returned with them about four o’clock, leaving the low senior president, Bill Engs, out in the “wilder- ness” alone. A tug-o’-war ended the day. FIELD DAY Never before has Tech celebrated any events with a whole day of festivi- ties as on May twenty-third of this term. The morning was given over to the annual field day, and the afternoon to the seniors. Promptly at ten o’clock the R. O. T. C. unit and the girls and boys of the gym department made their appearance on the campus. Together, the boys and girls, under the leadership of Mr. C. F. Martin, director of physi- cal education, went through a series of drills which were followed by two folk dances given by the girl students, The military unit then gave an exhibition of setting-up exercises. All these drills were accompanied with music by the Tech band. After this there were boxing matches, races of all kinds, girls’ and boys’ baseball games, pole vaulting and jumping contests. Then the R. O. T. C. marched on for their semi-annual parade. Uni- forms had just come from the government supply depot and five com- panies marched by at “eyes right.” Captain C. N. Clark, commandant, was the reviewing officer. The entire program was under the direction of Mr. C. F. Martin. THE BURIAL OF THE HATCHET Without a doubt, the most serious difficulty which has ever arisen in Tech was the factional division between the cadets and the athletes. If Tech’s morale was to be maintained, the leaders knew something must be done. Fearlessly following the principle he believed right, President Engs acted as the mediator at a banquet given by the military men at the Y. M. C. A. early in the term. Representatives of both factions were present, and ideas were freely ex- pressed. Causes of dissension were threshed out to the satisfaction of both sides. A rousing yell for a “Tech United” closed the meeting and a hearty handshake followed. The friendship has lasted and the former ill feelings have been forgotten. It is undoubtedly the one of the greatest achievements ever accomplished for Tech and is offered as the main reason for the return of Tech’s old spirit and good-fellowship. THE LARSON-MILLER DEBATE Resolved: that the United States should ratify the League of Nations plan as first presented by President Wilson. Both sides of this question, the most serious and widely discussed sub- ject before the American people in many years, was presented to the students in the early part of the term by Raymond Larson, affirmative, and Douglas Miller, negative. The negative side was successfully maintained. THE RALLY OF MAY 9 Uncamouflaged “jazz” made its debut at Tech on May 9 when Gus Bowen “opened up” at a rally in the Auditorium for the Tech-Fremont baseball game and the A. C. A. L. track meet. Puss Donahoo’s quartette furnished the music, while Brick Muller, Capt. Taylor, Douthit, Silent John Gillespie, and several others made brief speeches, which were enthusiastically applauded by the student body. Rosie Hunt from the University of California was the feature of the rally with his Scotch song and peculiar kilts. Lou Dougherty Willis Palmer B. A. A. The B. A. A. had a very busy term due to Tech’s fine showing in ath- letics. Thirty five block Ts were awarded� to mémbers of championship baseball, track and swimming teams. The B. A. A. formed the backbone of athletics and was instrumental in maintaining the high standard of Tech’s athletics. Vernon Jefferies Clark Bowen Lou Dougherty The spirit this term has been unusually fine. Tech’s rooters were always there with a quantity of the necessary “jazz.” At all the games Tech’s attendance outnumbered that of any other high school two to one. The Girls’ Athletic Association was instrumental in maintaining the spirit shown by the girls. That the old Tech support is returning was evidenced by the large number of students who appeared at all activities, dances, games and theatre parties. Keep up this spirit, girls and fellows, keep Tech where she has been this term—a leader in high school activities. (Signed) CLARK BOWEN. The basketball team made a very good showing this semester consider- ing the short time in which Coach Blesse had to round them into form. With the advantage of this term’s experience and the new gym, the five veterans left should develop into a championship quintet next season. BERKELEY GAME Coach Blesse’s teamwork predominated in the Berkeley fray at the auditorium, Tech winning by a 29 to 18 score. Captain Les Richards certainly improved the team’s play with his work at forward. Berkeley overweighed us and were overconfident to some degree. Our fast, light men quickly took this advantage away with their accurate pass- ing and shooting. Scotty Tait and Milo Ayer played to perfection in hooping the ball, while Tay Douthit looked mighty sweet breaking up Berkeley’s plays. OAKLAND GAME Due to injuries of many of Tech’s players, Oakland High came out on top of a 28-27 score in a fast game played at the Harmon Gym court. This game was the hardest fought game seen in many years. It was a battle royal from start to finish. At the end of the first half the score stood in Tech’s favor, 14-10. Earl Jeffs played in stellar fashion for Tech. Keuhne entered this contest and played well at guard. UNIVERSITY GAME The Tech quintet took the University five into camp by the decisive score of 44 to 27, at the Auditorium on February 13. This game was feat- ured by the fast and clever teamwork of Coach Blesse’s men. Although Captain Richards was not allowed to participate, the team per- formed like veterans. Douthit and Ayer starred for Tech, while Mielette played a creditable game for University. FREMONT GAME Fremont’s veterans of four years managed to keep on the long end of a 39-33 score against our less experienced and lighter team. The Tech aggregation showed remarkable fighting qualities, and the first half ended in a 12 to 11 score in favor of the victors. In the second half, Fremont’s experience began to tell, and our boys although fighting hard, were forced to take the short end of the score. Submarine Gooch was “on _ the floor” in all frays. As an air-tight guard he was the most feared man on the outfit. Jesse will be a valuable man next year. Captain Les Richards was able to play in only one game, that against Berkeley, but proved himself to be our best man by this day’s work at forward. Les was kept out of the University game through a misunder- standing of the officials regarding the eligibility rule. After the Berkeley fray he contracted a serious illness and could not strengthen the club for the last two games. Bernie Viveiros, star ball tosser, proved his versatility by showing enough class to be a first team substi- tute. Manager Taylor Douthit played a stellar game at guard. His fast play- ing and clever basket shooting piled up the score for Tech at every game. Milo “Venus” Ayer proved a hard- working center after he was tested in-the University game. Ayer fitted in nicely as a cog in Blesse’s combi- nation. Speed Carlson was held in readi- ness to go in at forward. Scotty Tait was the “find” of the 1919 season as an accurate shooting forward. Speed, fighting qualities and “basketball sense” were all pos- sessed by Tait. Earl Jeffs handled himself well at the forward position after he had conquered his first-game neryous- ness. There was no better foul shoot- er in the county than Jeffs. R. Beverly Eggleston was carried as reserve center until the Fremont contest, when he was put in for a quarter period of play. Dick an- nexed one basket and a foul in this short time and looked sweet on the signals. On account of a sprained ankle, he was kept out of the Oak- land fray. Red Keuhne showed such fighting qualities at the guard position that Blesse simply had to keep him on the squad. Keuhne entered the Oakland game and played like an old-timer. Harold Houvinen, by showing lots of fight, landed a sub-forward posi- tion. He will be on deck next year. Johnny Gillespie can play the guard position on a basketball team as well as pitch baseball. Though not in an A. C. A. L. fray, in the practice, John was indispensable. =} | — WALBRIO By winning the A. C. A. L. track meet held at California oval, May 10, Tech’s hopes of a championship team were realized for the first time since 1916. Captain Taylor Douthit and Manager Boo Olds worked hard for a winning combination. Their efforts were rewarded as a result of the coaching of C. H. Blesse, our new athletic coach. The sensation of the team was Brick Muller, who is probably the best high-school jumper in the United States. This is no idle boast as Brick jumped 6 feet 25 inches, a new meet record. He also made a new broad jump record of 22 feet. In the Pacific Amateur Association Championship meet, Brick defeated the best collegiate men in the State when he won the high jump and the hop, step and jump events. A host of fellows turned out early in the term so that a well-balanced team was organized when the A. C. A. L. rolled around. Second position was taken in the N. C. I. F., a poorly conditioned team being the reason for the showing. Brick Muller annexed 12 points in the big C. I. F. meet at San Bernar- dino to place the school second. He and Jack Grant were sent down to compete. Grant was handicapped by the rain and muddy field. Captain Douthit looked like a million yen in the pole vault and high jump. He also entered the broad and 220, and ran in the relay. Manager Boo Olds ran a heady 440 yard run. He looked fair in the javeline also. Boo helped in the relay with a fast lap. Fighting Lou Dougherty, although unable to train because of business affairs, entered the A. C. A. L. and finished third in the 440 yard run. Lyn Davis, our crack miler, showed good wind and staying qualities. He will be a heavy point getter next year. Jack Grant proved to be Tech’s speedster. Jack certainly tore up the earth in the century and the 220. His graduation will leave a big gap next year. Buzz Havens, team dark horse, flashed into winning form in the big meet and added a number of points to our score. Mose Geary was the find of the term as a hurdler. This is the first term he has tried this event, but he performed like a veteran. George Takahashi defeated all entries in the 120 pound track events. His efforts certainly helped our score total. Alvin Musser’s endurance kept him up in every race. Jack Maxfield was handicapped because of inexperience. He will be a good man next year in the half mile. Bill Cowes has the build and the necessary fighting qualities. Develop- ment will make him an indispensable man in the mile. Mose Taylor could not get to practice often enough, or he would have been a star 880 man. Good luck’next year, Mose! Nobody can say too.much of Brick Muller. Besides being a star jumper he is a sure winner in the high hurdles. He ran a fast and gaining lap in the relay. Barbier, although a freshman, showed his talent in the sprints. He was Grant’s understudy in the 100. Louis Mathison, another 120-pound marvel, gave his best in all pound events. Dick Eggleston was out every day with lots of fight and pepper. He has sweet form in the hurdles. Chesebrough was Tech’s best bet in the shot-put. As one of our strong men, he looked the part. Jesse Gooch did his best in the discus. Another year will find him there. Harold Wolff could not enter the A. C. A. L. because of a bad ankle. He was expected to show in the mile and the shot-put. V.ONiINCENT BASEBALL SUMMARY . For the sixth time in six years the Oakland Tech baseball team upheld its honor by winning the A. C. A. L. pennant. Captain John Gillespie’s boys worked hard for two preliminary months and then set in and cleaned up the league teams in jig time. This brings an interesting fact to light. Tech has always won the A. C. A. L. honors since that athletic body started in 1914, Our boys played on the field as a unit, having a fine set of signals which always worked out for their benefit. Manager Gene Fitzgerald booked many outside games with fast college and high school clubs. Teeh handled most of these games in good style so that when the league race was on the team was in its full stride. UNIVERSITY GAME In the first game of the season the Tech nine knocked the ball to all corners of the Bushrod lot and skipped home with a 22-0 score against University High. Gillespie worked on the mound for Tech and held the University boys down to one fluke blow. Brickel and Douthit featured for Tech with the hickory. BERKELEY GAME Tech’s hopes took the Berkeley boys down a peg in the A. C. A. L. pen- nant race by a 5-1 score at San Pablo Park. Gene Fitzgerald worked in the box for Tech and held Berkeley to one hit. Tech’s wrecking crew started things off in the early stages of the game, and scored five runs, while Fitz held the Berkeley lads at bay with his stellar pitching. ALAMEDA GAME In the fourth game of the A. C. A. L. Tech took the bacon away from Alameda to a tune of 6 to 1. In the curtain raiser Tech scored two runs and Gene Fitzgerald held the Alameda team in check, letting them down with two hits and one run. FREMONT GAME One run, a homer in the first inning by Ellison of Fr emont, was the only run that Fremont could get off Alexander Gillespie, while the Tech stars crossed the rubber six times. In the first inning Tech walked over with three runs. Douthit hit well for Tech and Wee Palmer held Johnnie’s shoots in big league style. Battery for Tech was: Gillespie and Palmer. Captain John Gillespie was one of the biggest factors in our winning the title. Besides hurling many _ two- hit and one-hit contests, he shone brilliantly at bat. Bruce Codding was the find of the year as an infielder and a hitter. He will certainly be a valuable addition to the club next year. Manager Gene Fitzgerald at short played excellent ball. He was also a good pitcher and his hitting and base- stealing were far above the average. Russ Brickel, keystone sacker, fielded and hit to perfection. Brickel tried hit- ting right-handed in the University game instead of his regular southpaw method and he collected four hits out of five times at bat. Ray Cleary played left in great style. The ball was lost in the well whenever it came to him. Honest Abe Rubin, our faithful backwoodsman, worked behind the log in major league fashion. Abe had the runners tied to the bags with a ball and chain. Men who stole bases off him were few and far between. His bunts were the talk of the circuit. Bernie Viveiros starred for our cham- yion nine at the difficult corner, mak- ing his third year at this sack. Whena hit was needed, Bernie was always there to come through in the pinch. Brick Muller was a star in baseball cs well as football. His fielding at first base was good and his hitting was top- notch. Ed. Cutting proved to be a. well- chosen substitute. He can play any po- sition, and can pitch in a pinch. He is a southpaw. Taylor Douthit, right-fielder, was the dark horse of the team. He led the team in hitting. Wee Palmer worked so well at catcher in the Fremont game that John hated to keep him on the extra list. Wee is a sweet little backstop. Gussie Bowen held down the cen- terfield area in “A-1” style. Gus came through with a click when needed. Tech will lose a finished ball player in Bowen. Vinny Vincent, substitute outfielder, showed the right spirit by coming out to all practices. Vinny won his block letter by playing leftfield for a time in the Oakland game. OAKLAND GAME. Tech defeated her Twelfth street rivals for the ninth time in succession by a 3-2 score. The game was a hard fought contest from beginning to end. Captain Gillespie was on the mound for Tech, and pitched gilt-edged ball, while Kenny Martin heaved for the Oakland boys in great style. Tech had a 3-0 lead up to the seventh inning, when Oakland, up for the last time, scored two runs after two outs had been made. ‘et 4 00 use. = ay ta eh | et = Lat, ‘Se?’ - er Craig Dreiske Yates This term tennis played a more important part in Tech’s athletics than ever before. In the first tournament of the year, George McLaren, last year’s tennis star, who won the N. C. I. F. tournament, and Joe Craig, won all their matches against the Sacramento High School. Unfortunately, McLaren was not allowed to play in the league tournaments this semester as he was a post graduate. In the second match the team met defeat at the hands of the Oakland Tennis Club. This defeat, however, was due to the greater experience of the older team. Tech’s double team, composed of Craig and Bashan was one of the best high school combinations about the bay. In the N. C. I. F. tournament it put both San Jose and Lick-Wilmerding out of the running, but was beaten by Oakland High in the finals in a hard three-set match. The squad for the team consisted of Craig, Bashan, Dreiske and Yates, who practiced faithfully as Mosswood Park. Tech’s 1919 swimming team, captained by Jesse Gooch and managed by Bobby York, made a creditable showing for the school in both the A. C. A. L. and the N. C. I. F. swim events. Although handicapped by lack of practice and coaching, the team entered the A. C, A. L. on short notice and captured second place. Berke- ley finished first because they were used to the salt water of Neptune Beach, where the meet was held, May 3, and because of long practice. Gooch’s paddlers took third in the Northern California Interscholastic Federation meet at Neptune, May 17, coming after Lick, second, and Berkeley, again first. Seven fellows, Bobby York, “Dutch” Woods, Roger Ogilvy, Otto Harrah ,Truman Mitchell, Jesse Gooch and “Cass” Castleman, were awarded their block letters in this contest because of finishing first or second, or being on the relay team which placed second. Captain Gooch used his powerful crawl stroke to good effect in negoti- ating the 50 and 100-yard dashes. Manager York was at his best in the 150, 220 and 440-yard events and the 50-yard back-stroke. Otto Harrah also featured in the speedster numbers. Castleman is probably the best breast stroke swimmer in any county high school. Truman Mitchell showed lots of fight in the relay and 100. Roger Ogilvy was hampered by a broken knee at the start of the season, but he persevered and finally won his block letter in the last meet of the year, in the relay. Buck Edwards, a nifty paddler with lots of form, was unable to com- pete in both meets. He was missed, too. Wilkie Ede, a fast relay man, was considered good for some firsts, but he could not compete in the meets. Fat Porter will be Tech’s best bet in the dives next year. Vern Jeffrys performed with class and finished on the diving board. He was our mainstay in this event. Ackerman went the best of all competitors in the 440-yard event, mak- ing the quarter mile in good time. Glen Reynard did his part in the plunge for distance. Glen was new to meet competition, but he will be a stellar man next year. Ed Engs could not find time to practice regularly owing to official duties. He looked good in the 440 notwithstanding this. Abe Leach will be a good man if he can acquire some finesse. Senor Charlaix had lots of pep when he came out. _ Inexperience handi- capped him. nen Cleat Tech was well represented on the water by her fighting crew men, cap- tained by Philip Mark and managed by.Lawson Crook. Over two months of hard practice were required to select the first team men. This team was entered in the big Lake Merritt regatta June seventh, in which Stockton, University and Fremont fought against Tech. Results were unobtainable because the Class Scribe went to press before the regetta was held. Benny Finklestein, alumni member of the school, greatly aided the fel- lows in getting such fine team work. He was captain of the first crew while at school so he understands the sport from “cover to cover.” ] L ro GL pe Dec. Senior G. A. A. With the reorganization of the Girls’ Athletic Association this term, a new interest has been aroused in girls’ sports. A general meeting was held in April, at which the following officers were elected: President Hazel Price Vice-President Dorothy Leighton Secretary Lucille Wistrand Treasurer Joy Harris Sergeant-at-Arms Sybil Smith Yell Leadersncngav hae oe Edna Cowdrey Assistant Yell Leader--.. ........-.---......

Success of the Girls’ Athletic Association must be attributed largely to the generous help of Mr. Fisher, Mr. Martin, Miss Balch and Miss Rader. Edna Cowdrey Girls’ Yell Leader TENNIS Excellent interest has been taken in tennis. Emily Benjamin, head of tennis and a high senior, has been responsible for the attendance by several clever players. They include Ruth Randall, Mildred Spruance, and Dorothy Salisbury. Although girls did not turn out in such numbers for tennis as for other sports, many devotees volunteered their services. General practice matches were played at Mosswood Park. Teams were picked to play Fremont at the High School Play Day held at Mosswood on Saturday, May 24. Crew Girls’ Crew has always been a forward sport at Tech. As usual, more attention was centered on it this term than on any other sport. From the second week, practice was held every Tuesday and Wednes- day. During the middle of the term, however, such keen competition arose between the junior crew, coxed by Jacqueline Boyer, and a mixed crew, under Joy Harris, that practice was held four times a week. The girls also indulged in evening practice in the latter part of May in order to prepare for the regatta on June 7, in which first and second crews participated. Miss Balch was faculty advisor of the rowing, and Joy Harris, Jacqueline Boyer, Marian Selby and Margarite Berry should be named among the crews’ loyal supporters. a 5 Archery Archery has developed into one of the most popular girls’ sports at Tech. It made its appearance the first week in May and from that time to the end of the term fine spirit was shown among its thirty participants. The ground to the left of the boys’ gym was marked off into thirty and fifty-yard stretches to be used for a practice field. Three bows, eighteen arrows and a pretentious target constitute the full equipment. As Tech is the only high school in the vicinity to introduce archery, school meets were impossible. Thelma Peterson was appointed executive head and Miss Helen Rader acted as instructor. BASEBALL Baseball has been taken up by the girls. Why not? Diligent practice was held throughout the term on every Thursday. afternoon under the supervision of Miss Balch. As enough girls did not respond from each class, Margarite Berry, head of baseball, found separate class organizations impossible. Henrietta Camp was chosen captain of the mixed team. elle EERE RES ape RB Basketball May O’Connell (captain) Lilian Elvin Vide Galton Florence Wilmes Center Violet McPherson Center Lois Rupert Center Irene Scott Center Allen Kadell Guard Irme Jellett Guard Henrietta Camp Guard The sophomores are champions of this term’s basketball. Such honors, however, were not won without steady practice twice a week. Credit should also be given to the freshmen in whom the winning team found dangerous competitors. During the last of the term, the sophomores were put into the hands of Coach Blesse for further training for the game to be staged between Oak- land and Tech at Mosswood on May 24. In the final team, Inez Hubbard, a junior, who plays forward, and Mar- cella Fulton, freshman, who plays center, replaced sophomores. RODBER HORTON ee tite eis EXECUTIVE BOARD Jack Spence Walter Bunker Finance Auditor Ed Engs Entertainments Mildred Dills Aileen Willi amson Secretary Girls’ Affairs Thelma Peterson Publications Rodber Horton Neen Taylor Class Officers Although severely hampered by the numerous “flu” vacations of last semester, Tech was ever fighting to maintain her high standards. The students, after having had so many holidays, were conscientious in their work. Not as much ground was covered as heretofore, but a remarkable amount of work was accomplished in spite of the numerous drawbacks. In athletics as in studies, the men of whom Tech’s teams were composed, worked hard for the school in order that it might keep its head above water in the swim of Alameda county high schools. Just as the students of Tech have worked to put and keep her name on the banner list of high schools, so in turn will Tech lend her name in the form of a recommendation to the students, whether to future employer or to a higher educational institution.

The hope of a more active season was realized however, this spring, in the new spirit which has put Tech on Top. CLARK BOWEN, Yell Leader. wea, [[eq}ooy FOOTBALL Although the football team had an unsuccessful season in regard to the games won and lost, the fighting spirit of Tech teams was in evidence. Even though they played in hard luck, due to sickness, lack of games and a practice field far from school, the scores were all close and the team was fighting to the last whistle. Montgomery, a new man, coached the team, and under less adverse conditions would have surely put out a winner. The first league game was against Alameda which was lost 13-5. Mul- ler, although new to Rugby, played a good game, making the only touch- down for Tech. The game, although played on a muddy field, was fast and fairly even throughout. In the second league game with Fremont, Tech was defeated 5-3. Even though the team was handicapped by the absence of three regulars, they outplayed Fremont the entire game. Fremont’s try came after the final whistle had blown and was the result of a ninety-yard run by a Fremont man. In the hardest fought and fastest game of the season, Tech lost to Oak- land 6-0. The play zig-zagged back and forth in the middle of the field except for the beginning of the first half and the end of the second half when Oakland scored their two tries. Three of the Tech regulars were also out of the game. Captain “Skee” Horton played the best game of his career. He is one of the best players Tech has turned out and as he was very popular with the fellows he made an ideal leader. Jack Spence at first-five was one of the best dodgers and headiest players on the team. He was equally strong on both offensive and defensive. “Boo” Olds, front-ranker, is one of the kind who, although not a flashy player, is always dependable in the game. “Jess” Gooch, previous to this season, was green at Rugby, but with a plentiful supply of grit and scrap, turned out to be one of Tech’s best forwards. Erickson, who took Gooch’s place at front rank, when “Jess” was moved to rear rank, played a steady game. “Cub” Fairchild proved to be one of the best locks Tech has ever had. His weight and experience were a great help to the team. Lombardi replaced Cub when the latter was kept out on account of sick- ness and played a steady game. Ed Kyte, one of the fastest men on the team, combined his speed and dodging to make many long gains for Tech. Joe Shaw at breakaway was one of our best forwards. He followed the ball consistently and tackled hard and sure. Giese helped supply the necessary heavy for the scrum at rear rank, and by his tackling stopped many an opponent’s passing rush. Carlson, the other rear ranker, fitted in nicely with the rest of the scrum and often broke through the lineout for gains. Cheesbrough at wing forward put up a scrappy game on both offensive and defensive, his tackling being especially good. Scotty Tait at half-back, although one of the smallest men on the team, was one of the best tacklers, playing a fast game. Brick Muler, a new man, was one of the stars of the team. It was next to impossible to stop him when he got the ball as he was exceptionally fast for his size. McGinty, another new man, played a good game at wing. His dodging and kicking were a source of great help to the team. Red Khuene at the other wing positions was a marvel in getting his kick off before being tackled. He also did some good tackling. Wee Palmer, who took Kuehne’s place when Red was moved to center three to take Muller’s place, was good on defense. At fullback, Nellie Morse had a wonderful boot to touch besides being a sure tackler. Bernie Vivieros, who alternated with Morse at full back, was always cool and was. good on finding touch. The second team deserves a lot of credit for the way in which they came out regularly for practice to help the first team; without their aid it would have been impossible to have had a first team.
