A., University of California Superintendent IDEALS OF PIEDMONT HIGH SCHOOL A IEDMUNT High School is a young school. This yearbook is a record of the second year of this institution Less than tvso years ago four hundred boys and girls were brought together in the Piedmont High School from fourteen different secondary schools. Obviously, there would be found a wide divergence of ideals from a group of this character. The great work of molding the spirit and incentives of this congregated group into the ideal Piedmont High School has gone forward through the past two years with amazing rapidity. There have been one common inspiration and one ideal which all have shared. This has been the thought that Piedmont High School should be the best secondary school in the West. There have been a common purpose and an effort toward the attainment of this end. A perusal of the pages of this book will reveal the fact that in two short years a definite and most highly desirable Piedmont spirit has been developed. In order to bring about a common purpose in the efforts of the students of Piedmont High School, it seemed wise to incorporate the ideals of the school I0 ' 'S ' ::: 'lfn : upon a school shield, an etching of which is shown on this page. This shield has been worked out and designed by Piedmont High School students and represents the several phases of the Piedmont High School spirit. At the left hand edge of the scroll at the top of the shield is shown a winged sandal. This is to characterize the athletic ambitions of our school. In classic myth the winged sandal enabled its possessor to perform unusual physical feats. Its inspiration to our athletic teams is to triumph over all opponents. It carries a broader significance, however, for it stands as an inspiration to every student to develop a strong-bodied physical being in order that he may have a fit basis upon which to build a successful life. The classic torch of learning at the right hand edge of the scroll stands as an inspiration for scholastic achievement. It represents the idea that the light of the world is ready for those who will pursue and achieve truth. It further presents the idea of service. Those whose lives have been led upward by the light of the intelligence which has been handed down to us by past generations should feel obligated to perpetuate this light through service to all mankind. In the left hand triangle the helmet of knighthood is revealed. During the Medieval Ages the institution of knighthood stood for the preservation of learning, the defense of womanhood, the protection of the arts, classics, and sciences throughout that unfortunate period. So the helmet of knighthood stands as an inspiration to the Piedmont boys to achieve personally, in their day, the ideals of Medieval knighthood. In the right hand triangle is a characterization of Minerva, the classic example of noble womanhood. This stands as an inspiration to the Piedmont girls to achieve the highest type of noble, intelligent and beautiful womanhood. The stripes and bars are represented on the shield in the school colors of royal purple and white. White stands for purity. Royal purple stands for regality and suggests to all Piedmont students the necessity of learning to rule their lives, ambitions and passions by the mastery of their thoughts and actions. The open book of learning at the lower edge of the shield sets forth the ideal that one's mind should be kept open to new thoughts and to the advantages of learning at all times. Upon the book is inscribed the motto of Piedmont High School., Achieve The Honorablef, The records set forth in this Clan-O-Log will reveal that during the past school year great headway has been made in achieving these ideals. While there still remains an opportunity for improvement, the work that has been started will be carried on and from the foundation which has been laid in these first two years of the life of Piedmont. High School, the superior Piedmont High School of our dreams is sure to grow. -H. W.

I nter-Class Council Members I ' HE seniors were one of the first classes to give a dance last fall in the latter part of October. Later in the year officers for the grad- uating class were elected, as follows: ,lack McClurg, president, and Ethel MacGregor, secretary. The Senior Farewell was a great success and it was thoroughly enjoyed by those who were so lucky as to attend. A few days after the Senior Farewell, the high seniors, accompanied by numerous friends and faculty members, toured out into the wilds of lVIt. Diablo for a picnic. It was reported that some of the faculty played very good baseball at the picnic but their names have been withheld by special request. As a whole the senior class of the spring semester was not very active, but individually the members of the class played prominent parts in school affairs. Practically all of the Student Body officers are seniors, and three of the four of Piedmont High's debaters are members of the senior class. Many of the presidents of the various organizations in the school are seniors. They are also very prominent in athletics having had in the last year, three captains, namely: track, basketball, and football. About the middle of the term the officers for the graduating class were elected as follows: Noble Gowing, presidentg Leah Sweyd., vice-presidentg Ellen Bailey, secretary. As the Clan-O-Log comes out early in June, the following events of Senior Week cannot at the present time be written up: Senior Dance, June 8' Sermon to Graduates, June 10g Senior Play, HA Kiss for Cinderellaf, June l2:, Com- mencement Exercises, .lune 14g Alumni Reception, June 15. All in all, the seniors are splendid citizens of Piedmont High School, and the loss of those who leave us this June will be keenly felt by all. 22 L ki SENIORS 'Z 2 !'

Inter-Class Council Members f HE principal activity of the junior class for the fall semester was the class dance, which was given one pleasant afternoon in the Boy Scout rooms at the Piedmont Church. Those classes which enjoyed the afternoon with the juniors were the seniors and the sophomores, and from the general comment around the school the dance was a complete suc- cess. The record of the junior class in athletics was not very astounding during the fall semester, but our adversaries had quite a struggle to hold us down. The junior class of the spring semester, at the time of writing, has done nothing in the way of entertainment, but the dance committee under the able leadership of Harry Brock, is expected to have all the details concerning a dance ready to present to the class in the very near future. Two athletic cap- tains were elected from the junior class, namely: Elvin Pfister, baseball and Mark McAllister, tennis. The only Inter-Class athletic event which has been played off at the time of writing is baseball., in which, although we did not get the championship, we were a very close contender for it. The girls of the class have held their own in the school athletics, having a good chance to win the Inter-Class basketball championship. The junior class has been very well represented in dramatics and music during the year, having had several leads in the various operas and plays, not mentioning the minor parts. The junior class is also responsible for this book you are now reading, and as a class we, the juniors, hope that you are well pleased. 31 va fl: U 'F NJ k - -.

Sergeant-at-Arms MARJORIE QUAYLE AND LAVERN CORBIN,. .Inter-Class Council Nlembers HE sophomore class started off the term right by electing a very good staff of officers. As soon as the class could settle down to real busi- V,VV ness, a dance committee headed by the president was formed, and started to plan out a dance immediately. At the end of the semester the dance was given and, as so much hard work and a great deal of time were spent on its preparation, the dance proved to be the best of the semester. The first few meetings of the sophomore class of the spring semester were devoted to the election of officers and to the choosing of some of the team captains. The captains elected were as follows: LaVern Corbin, tennis and Stanley Stevens, track. As it is the custom for each class to give a dance every semester, a very good orchestra was secured, the Amory was designated as the place, and every- one waited impatiently for the afternoon of Friday, May 4. The big Skid was a tremendous success. The juniors and seniors were there in great num- bers, and again the Sophomore affair was acknowledged to be the best dance of the semester. The class believes it has the best all-round spirit, as proved by the way it supports all class and school activities. The sophomore stunt is expected to contribute greatly to the success of the Carnival this June. Although the plans are secret, the other classes may rest. assured that the sophs are not lacking in the way of dramatic talent. Next year we will be juniors and if we put into the editing of the Clan- O-Log the same amount of spirit that we have shown during the past year, the publication will be an accomplishment of which we, as a class, may he proud, and a credit to the whole school. 33 1 3 , 'XN Q LOC: Q, f-7-'!-F. :J-11'-.: E: lr : - w 34 The Future Piedmont Junior High School fi fi ,J ,Z kj 13-rj 7' rf 'Vin Ih Crarlv Th fliif 'f 'f iirfi ---.

Inter-Class Council Members HE fall semester meetings of the freshman class were fairly good in order, in securing which the faculty advisors helped very materially. .f,Q At an early date the class decided to give a dance., but because of the poor organization of the dance committee and conflicting dates, for ex- ample the Christmas Play and other class dances, it was never given. In the intervening time class baseball and basketball captains were elected and the respective teams were organized. E The freshman class of the spring semester is one of the few classes which can boast of good order in their meetings. The rudiments of Parliamentary Law was studied and closely adhered to by the class. A very high grade of school spirit was shown by the class in their pur- chase of Student Body Cards, an entire meeting being devoted to their sale. The boys developed a baseball team that any class could be proud of, in that it won the Inter-class honors. V The freshmen had a good basketball team, which made their opponents iight for every point that they won, in spite of the fact that our team came in third. The frosh had a very good line-up for a track team, but as the Inter-class meets were not played off, they could not show their skill. The second baseball series that is coming up does not look as well for the fresh- men as the last one, for many of the members of the first team will be allowed to play for their respective classes. The class was planning to have a dance, but no action was taken as there was to be much entertainment during the semester. On the whole the past year has been, for the freshmen, a complete success, and as sophomores we expect to accomplish even more for Piedmont High School. 37 The Eighth Grade J E Kfff- THE EIGHTH GRADE 125 75 92 OFFICERS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER GEORGE WINCHESTER .......................................

A dance committee and chairman were appointed and plans for a dance fully discussed. One important problem which the eighth grade of the spring semester solved was that of orderly meetings. Parliamentary Law was studied as a game, and at every meeting there was a temporary chairman who took charge. Whenever this chairman made a mistake in the set rules of order, the person detecting his error took the chair until he, too, made a mistake. This game proved to be very interesting as well as instructive, and it was enjoyed to its fullest extent by everyone. On Wednesday, May 2, the eighth grade held their dance at the Armory. The class showed very good spirit in connection with the dance and many attended. Hassard Boulware, as chairman of the dance committee, with the help of Alberta Blair secured excellent music. Through the earnest efforts of john Bullard very pleasing refreshments were procured. All present called it an overwhelming success, fa knock-out as some of those who attended pronounced the affairj . The dance started about 3:30 and at 5:4-5 the orchestra played, Home, Sweet Homel' as a signal for the crowd to disperse. The eighth grade leads the Junior High in student activities and may he expected to win the prize at the Highland Fling. A committe is working on this t'stunt which is expected to he the higgest surprise of the day. 39 The Seventh Grade I ff i THE SEVENTH GRADE 95 13 25 OFFICERS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER JACK WALICER ...............................................

The afternoon was given over to playing games a11d dancing. Refreshments, which were donated hy some of the mothers, were served during the entertainment. As all the refreshments were free there were about eight dollars left over, which was evenly divided between the high and low seventh grades. The dance was well attended and a pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by those who went. The first meeting of the seventh grade of the spring semester was de- voted to the election of officers. The next meeting was entirely given over to the sale of Student Body Cards, and the students responded very well, few of them failing to purchase one on their first day of sale. H Later in the semester a dance was discussed and a committee was ap- pointed to make all the necessary arrangements. In order to show no par- tiality, a girl and a boy were chosen to head the committee, namely, Janet Majors and Theodore Borreson. Besides working very hard on the dance, tl1e seventh grade is completing a skit', for the Highland Fling, which is expected to be very good. The girls' tennis teams of the high and low seventh grade have each elect- ed a captain, Helen Perkins of the low seventh and Kathleen Hibbard of the high seventh. The members of the team have been selected, and they are to meet in a short time. This event is being looked forward to with great interest by the entire class. The boys, with Harry Haight as manager, are showing a great interest in tennis also, playing most of their matches on the Havens and Beach courts. Although the class is new to Piedmont High School, we have already be- come a loyal group of students and are always on hand when it comes to supporting school activities. 41 From Our First Opera, 1VIartha 42 P 1 , ,- 41,-WA' Y 'W 1ffii..,'-, 1' CORONA LATINA ORONA LATINA often feels that it is a stranger in a strange land in these fast-moving days when the good old Classics are so rudely neglected. But this neglect has furnished a good reason for the existence of the club, and if the members are always as persistent and steadfast in their purpose as those of the past year, we shall perhaps some- tinle see a great revival of Latin and all the other difficulties of existence in old Roman times. In the choice of plays and actors the club was most fortunate, for in its 5'Nuptiae Romanaev fRoman Weddingb and in the program of music and dancing which was given jointly with the French Club, it found the means of interesting and instructing the student body. Another day the members entertained only themselves, but they did that well, with a visit to the San Francisco Museum. But we must say something of those who have been responsible for the success of the organization. Wfe can start by naming the officers for the two semesters, Ilse Laidlaw and Marion Chamberlain, consulsg ,lane Grunbanm and Cora Majors, scribasg Stanley Valentine and Edwin Pratt, quaestors. SENIOR ART CLUB 2 HE Senior Art Club has been very active during thc two semesters and has had many interesting speakers at tl1e1r meetings. The first semester Miss Cora Boone, a noted water color artist whose pic- tures are on permanent exhibition in the Palace of Pine Arts in San Francisco, gave a talk on Color,,, and showed some wonderful pictures. Nlrs. L. A. Scott . gave an exhibition of oriental rugs which she gathered on her tour around the world. lVIrs. Jeanette Donpik gave an exhibition of batik gowns created in her studio. Miss Ella Wall gave an exhibition of batik done by her students at Technical High. Among the speakers was Mrs. Aten who talked on her travels in Egypt.

The officers for the fall semester were: Philip Nesbitt, pres., Philip Ray, vice-pres., Etha Garlick, sec., Julia Bain, program committee, for the spring semester, Julia Bain, pres., Thehna Brock, vice-pres., Helen Fites, sec. JUNIOR ART CLUB HE ,lunior Art Club has been in existence only one semester but has had a very interesting career. The many splendid talks given by mem- bers of the Senior Art Club in the meetings have been of great in- terest to the Junior Club. The club made a scrap book which is to be pre- sented to the children's hospital. Discussions of pictures and art were also held during the meetings. The officers were: ,lack Walker, pres., ,Iovita Vallejo, vice-pres., Virginia Hanford, sec., Edward Sheafer, chairman of the Entertainment Committee. 44 H V kr if However much credit is due the officers, to the faculty advisors, Miss Hawkins and Miss Taylor, still more is due for it was their knowledge and 0'lldZ1llCC which led to the complete success of Corona Latina.

The officers were: Leslie Smith, pres., Emiline Kempkey, vice-pres.:, Isabel Wallace, sec. JUNIOR FRENCH CLUB HE Junior French Club has held some splendid meetings during the term.

SENIOR WIT AND HUMOR W HIS is the Senior branch of Mr. Bat- dorf's Wits. We cannot imagine any ,,,V lnore enjoyable gathering than this one, with its cheerful purpose. There is no wonder that we see so many smiling faces around the building when the school is blessed with such a group of students with one purpose in coming together. Doubtless the whole school would like to be in on their pleasures but it will have to content itself with envy and the sight of others, enjoyment. Mr. Batdorf's enthusiastic aid has made this one of the best clubs in school. The senior and junior branches of the organization were created at the same time, in the middle of the year.

During the past year Piedmont High has made a name for itself through the aid of 1tS Dramatic Department. Under the com-- petent direction of Miss Caverly several worth while and noted productions have been given in our auditorium. The Yuletide Revelsf' given on December 14, 1922, and written by Miss Caverly, pictured the Christmas customs of old England. The play was a great success and as a result it will probably he given annually as part of the regular school events. The principal characters were: Florence Pitt as Lady Manor, Arthur Moore as Lord Manor, Jay Curts as Master of Ceremonies, Robert Pieser as the butler, Gene Farrell as the housekeeper, Philip Stearns as the Jester, and Elmer Bertelsen and Edward Sheafer as the pages. On Friday evening, March 23, 1923, the Junior and Senior Departments of the Dramatic Club gave a very interesting program consisting of one play, Three Pills in a Bottlef, given by the Junior High Dramatic Section, as its first dramatic accomplishment, and of two one-act plays by the Senior De- partment, '6The Slave with Two Facesn and The Cat-Boat. During the assembly periods, at three different times the student body has been splendidly entertained by students of the Dramatic Department. The Maker of Dreams was the first play, the cast including Ruth Lawrence, Mar- jorie Curdts, and Hilda Humburg. The second one, 'gFood,,' was given by Beatrice Thrift, Warren W'il1iams and Frank Taylor. The last production, 'fSuppressed Desiresf' presented by Leah Sweyd, Grace Chapman and Bob Chapman, was very humorous and was thoroughly enjoyed by the students as were the other two. g All these productions have been worthy of much praise, and the students and citizens of Piedmont have greatly appreciated the hard, efficient, and polished work put forth by this department.

MUSIC 35 55 QS HE largest musical entertainments undertaken by Piedlnont High have been the two operas 4'Martha and The Mikado. These operas proved to be such a success that Mr. Ball plans to give a different one each term. The proceeds go this year towards paying for our piano. Piedmont High is the only high school around the bay to give two performances of the same opera. Everyone who attended the operas came away with the idea that whatever Piedmont High does, it does well. g'Martha was a great success. As it was the first opera Piedmont High had attempted, it was more or less of an experiment. The principals in the cast were chosen with great care, Mr. Ball choosing those who could act the part as well as sing. One hundred and thirteen students took part. Virginia Pierce has a lovely, clear, soprano voice, and took the part of Lady Harriet Durham extremely well. Isabel Thayer, also, has a charming soprano voice, which we all love to hear, and took the part of Nancy, Lady Harriet's maid. Sterling Rounthwaite, whose superb tenor voice is a delight to all who hear it, took the part of Lionel. James Dickie has a very fine baritone., and took the part of Plunkett. Albert Brouse's bass voice and his clever acting in the part of Sir Tristan Mickelford were noteworthy achievements and worthy of praise. The story of Martha is very sweet and the music is beautiful. The school orchestra deserves much credit, as it helped a great deal toward making the opera a success. The voices and acting were quite a surprise to all who heard the opera, which brought out much hidden talent from the student body. Martha was given on the evenings of November 28 and 29., 1922. Students showed their school spirit by the fine way in which they sold the tickets. The proceeds from this opera amounted to over seven hundred dollars. The Mikado was given on the evenings of April 26 and 27, 1923. This proved to be just as popular, if not more so, than cLMartha, and all who heard it were delighted. Many were so pleased with the performance the first night that they attended the second night, also. One hundred and thirty chosen members of the student body took part. Philip Stearns, as Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner, surprised and delighted the audience with his clever acting and dancing, and his high jumps and expressions drew peals of laughter from the crowd. Ko-Ko was an exact performance of the original Ko-Ko in London where Mr. Ball, who was a pupil of Sir Arthur Sullivan saw performances of this opera and taught Philip how to act his part. Sterling Rounthwaite, as Nanki Poo, again entertained the audience with his fine voice. Albert Brouse was a great success as the Mikado. James Dickie, as Poo Bah, took his part very well. Myrtle Kronquest took the part of charming Yum Yum. Marjorie Johnson, whose lovely voice Mr. Ball has just discovered, took the part of Katisha. ltlargaret Edwards deserves much praise for her clever dancing and singing and her interpretation of the part of Pitti-Sing. Wiarren Williams and Frederick Hyde should be given due praise for their clever work. Although the proceeds from 'fThe Mikadov' were not as large as from uMartha, over five hundred dollars were added to our piano fund. Mr. Ball certainly deserves a great deal of credit and praise for his un- tiring efforts and the successful way in which he organized and directed these operas. We are indeed fortunate in having such an able man at the head of our music department. 55 ORCHESTRA Piedmont High School Orchestra SIDE from playing for the two school operas, 'glVlartha and The Mikado, we have entertained both the P. T. A. and the Dads' Club during the past year. But even these do not conclude the list of our activities. The Christmas Play, the Three One-Act plays, and the Coni- munity Chest Masque also demanded our presence. During the past term we have made a great advance in the type of music played, for a year ago we could play the simplest music only with great diffi- culty. We soon passed this stage, carefully guided and directed by Mr. Ball, until 6'Martha was put on. Six months later we attacked a much more diffi- cult problem, the production of The Mikado. This music was the profes- sional score and very difficult but we mastered it after several weeks of hard rehearsals. It only reniains to be seen what Mr. Ball will give us next. The members of the orchestra are: R. Broderick, S. Sutherland, M. Moore, WI Stearns, R. Chapman, H. Roemer, R. Kelley, D. Bell, L. Haas, M. Reynolds, H. Collins, Mr. Ball, Director, H. Power, 0. Lar- son, E. Leonhart, W. Patterson, A. Merrill, G. Muller. C. Crosby, V. Prisk, Nl. 0. Cox, P. Reynolds, M. Sherman, W. Van Dyke, W. Merrill. PLANS FOR AN ORGAN A two-manual Robert Morton pipe organ having 1475 pipes is to be installed in the auditorium and will be in working order by September 1, 1923. The cost of the instrument will be about ten thousand dollars. 1Wr. W. C. Alexander Ball has secured first payment through the kindness and generosity of many Piedmont citizens, Mr. J. F. Humburg having generously headed the sub- scription list. During his vacation Mr. Ball is planning to solicit the neces- sary funds to complete the payment, and when the organ is finished, Piedmont will have the honor of being the first school in the state possessing such an instrument. 55 L rl . 1.

The efforts of the staff have been so loyally supported in every way by the students and people of Piedmont, that a review of the year's work shows many ideals realized. The installation of the printing equipment with which so much has been accomplished has been one of the greatest aids to the success of the paper. It has been the aim of the Highlander, not only to be a school paper, but to furnish the means of direct contact between the students and the citizens of Piedmont. The six-page weekly edition which has been put out during the entire school year has been niade possible by the untiring work of Mr. Gantz and Mr. Berger. The support of the advertisers and the support given them in turn by the readers have been another great help. The publishing of the Spring Feature Edition of the Highlander meant to the staff the realization of a long-hoped-for ideal. This sixteen-page part-color issue was, in a way, a declaration of independence, as it meant that the paper had reached a point where it was not only paying for itself, but had made a considerable profit. It is this legacy of enjoyable work, congenial associates, loyal support, and a self-supporting paper that the staff leaves to their successors. 9-E QE 325 CLAN-O-LOG HE 1923 Clan-O-Log is now published. The 1923 staff has done its best, and that has been the utmost endeavor to please, the utmost A endeavor to make this Clan-O-Log worthy of the great high school it represents. The policy of the Clan-O-Log has been to represent truthfully every school activity. A yearbook should be primarily a record of school events during the school year. It is with this ideal in mind, that the staff has worked faithfully and unceasingly during the greater part of the past year. The reader, upon opening the pages of this book, may see, passing before him, a striking pano- rama of Piedmont High School with all its activities, all the deeds so far ac- complished., and all its hopes and ideals for the future. The Clan-O-Log might be thought of as a stage, the pages, the scenesg the students, the actorsg the readers, the audience. The 1923 Clan-O-Log is over twice the size of the 1922 edition. Part of this increase is due to the financial aid received from our advertisers. Adver- tisements were not included in the contents of the Clan-0-Log last year. Without the skillful aid and constructive criticism of those with experi- ence a publication of this kind would not be a success. The success of this book has depended in particular upon Miss Martha Lane, the faculty advisor of the staff. She has never deserted in any emergency and throughout the year her wide experience, her never say die spirit, her ever-present optimism, and her joyful smile, have never failed to cheer the staff onward. May there be many others like Miss Lane. 62 - - A - Q 1v is U V ' A P ' , . ' We 'WA: ' ' ' . A - ' Q viwvnnn du 'A' M 5 1. X I 1,1 'kiwi 'fluff' U gf, ,W gf U ,fm lst 11 IP! if ' 1.

Piedmont 115--52 Opponents. 75 75 QE ' ITH but five veterans from the 1921 varsity to forrn a nucleus the 1922 ' Varsity football team opened the practice season under a severe handi- :,, cap. Coach Sam Moyer, former Coach at North Central High, was confronted with the problenl of developing untrained football nien into a well-rounded machine. Especially difficult was his position when, on Octo- ber 20, Piedmont was admitted to membership in the C. I. F. to compete with the state champion Berkeley team and with Alameda High in the A. C. A. L. division. On September 15 Coach llloyer issued a call for candidates for the foot- ball squad. More than fifty men turned out most of whom had never handled an American football before. With but a week of practice Coach Moyer sent his squad against the fast Vocational High School team. ln this game Piedmont was represented by a green team but one whose clean football and fighting spirit carried the Piedmont colors to the f1'ont. From this time on the purple and white squad went through the season losing only two games and winning the rest of those played except for one tie. The team consisted of a light but scrappy line and a light but very fast backfield. The line was noted for its ability in stopping runs alld for making holes for a backfield that was quick to take advantage of such holes. Both line and backfield were a hard fighting bunch at all times, Coach Moyer having injected an abundance of spirit into his team. Although Piedmont did not take the Championship of their division in the C. I. F., they established a reputation for having one of the finest and best teams in the state, one that had wonderful spirit and fought to the finish. VOCATIONAL GAME In the opening game of the season Piedmont was handicapped by the lack of practice. Having but few plays the team was forced to resort to the use of the forward pass to make yards many times. The game ended in Pied- 1nont's favor 25-0. E CENTERVILLE GAME Although defeated in their second start the Piednlont High teain played a nice game. By coming back in the third quarter and putting over a touch- down, they well demonstrated their fighting spirit. The game ended with the score 19 to 6 in Centerville's favor. 54 4. OAKLAND GAME The Oakland game was by far the best of the season. The Acorn squad fresh from a victory over the North Coast Champion Sacramento team, expected to have but little trouble with Piedmont so they sent in their second team. After several plays the first team was rushed into the game but the Piedmont squad continued to plow down the field. In the first quarter Piedmont scored two touchdowns and converted once. Oakland scored a touchdown in the third quarter on a long forward pass. The fourth quarter was the best of the game. In the closing minutes of the game Oakland worked the ball to the Piedmont two-yard line but was unable to push it across for the tieing or win- ning points. LIVERMORE GAME The Livermore game, although not close, was very interesting from the spectators' point of view. The game at half was tied, each team having scored 7 points. In the third and fourth quarters Piedmont opened its attack, scoring three touchdowns to win the game, 25 to 13. DIABLO GAME I But little can be said of this game. Diablo came to Piedmont with a fast but very light team. Owing to the weight handicap Piedmont had but little trouble in scoring at will. Many substitutes were run in by Coach Moyer. BERKELEY GAME The opening game of the A. C. A. L. with Berkeley High was played on a field of mud. The Piedmont team played a nice game but the heavy Berkeley team, owing to the condition of the field, was able to push through for two touchdowns. In the latter part of the game Piedmont started a forward pass attack but the wetness of the ball made this very difficult and unsatisfactory. Although defeated Piedmont put up the best game of any team that played Berkeley. Berkeley later played for the State Champion- ship. ALAMEDA GAME The game with Alameda proved to be Piedmont's hard luck game of the season. Piedmont was greatly outweighed but they outplayed their oppon- ents throughout the game. In the end of the third quarter Piedmont recovered an Alameda fumble on the Alameda one-yard line but the referee decided that the ball was out of play. This lost Piedmont's only chance to score. In the closing minutes of the game Piedmont held Alameda on the Piedmont five-yard line for four downs, saving a defeat. The game ended in a 0 to 0 tie. 65 fl Foolball Squa The Z E :- O L3 .-i - -1 C cn Ll QJ o-I 4-v C5 D-4 4-I -I ff' 5 QJ Q :- - - cz.: .- ... ..- ...

Nib was one of the bulwarks of the strong line, for he was always on the job and always got his man. JACK VALENTINE, guard. Jack played a strong game all the season. He was a very good tackler and could be depended upon to open up holes for the back field. MERRIMAN HUMMEL, guard. Dutcl1's fighting spirit was the feature of many games and he was largely re- sponsible for the air-tight Piedmont line. TED HODAPP, guard. Ted, a new man on the team, proved to be algreat success. He played a hard-fighting, steady game throughout the season. CHESTER BEKINS, quarter back. Chet was injured in mid-season but his work in the opening games was ex- ceptionally good at all times. COACH MOYER has had exceptional success with his athletic teams since coming to Piedmont High. Both his football and basketball teams were recog- 'xized as leaders in bay region sports while at the present time the baseball team has hung up a good record in the diamond sport. These records of suc- cess speak well of Mr. Moyer's ability. T. ..,,,,.,-ws. .V -V - -3 V.: I -',-' ,wg-' - 1---rfvd -fg1v'! 1n I CLAN O-LOG WMFOOTBALL . O90 HUBERT DAVIES, tackle.

Clint proved to be Piedmont's greatest scorer and ground-gainer. His educated toe also proved to be of great benefit to the purple and white squad. DON PATTERSON, tackle. Don could probably be called the find of the season. He had a habit of breaking through the enemy's line and throwing their backs for a loss. ELVIN PFISTER, end. Al's work in the opening games was sensational at all times, and he kept up the morale of the team with his fighting spirit. He will be back at end next year. HARRY BROCK, end. Brock proved to be one of the best ends in high school football in theibay region. He was exceptionally strong on passes and was noted for his ability in stopping end runs.

QE 93 93 ASKETBALL proved to be Piedmont's most successful athletic sport of the 1922-1923 season. The team started the season with but ... one veteran from 1922 but material from other schools proved to be exceptionally fine. The purple and white squad succeeded in winning six straight victories before they were defeated by Hayward. These victories in- cluded those over the Stanford Freshmen and the Oakland Technical High School. After the Hayward defeat the squad came back and administered a 35 to 2 defeat to Mission High School of San Francisco and also took a close game from Polytechnic High Team of the same city. In the last game of the season against Berkeley Piedmont was beaten, although the squad put up a good fight against a superior team. UNIVERSITY GAME Piedmont had but little trouble in the opening game against University, scoring 21 points to their opponents 10. This game gave Coach Moyer a chance to run in his subs for a trial. TECH GAME I11 the Tech game Piedmont pulled one of the biggest surprises of the season, defeating Tech by a 26 to 24 score. The guarding of Brock and Donant proved to be the undoing of the Tech forwards. I. Robie also did good work in this game. TAMALPAIS GAME In the first game away from home Piedmont took the strong peninsula team down the line for a 36 to 26 score. The team worked well as a whole, showing strong offensive and defensive power. DIABLO GAME The Diablo game proved a disappointment to the Piedmont rooters. Although the team was victorious they were badly off-form. The game ended 20 to 11. 71 XVHITES PREPARATORY GAME The Whites game was also a disappointment to Piedmont. The team was still in a slump and was held down in fair shape hy the weak Whites team. The game went to Piedmont 22 to 8. STANFORD FRESHMAN GAME The frosh game proved the making of the Piedmont team. The purple and white men out-fought and out-played the heavy opponents throughout the game and at tinle had run up a 28 to 13 score against the Frosh. The Pied- mont team was given a splendid ovation by the Stanford rooting section at the close of the game. HAYVVARD GAME In the opening A. C. A. L. game Piedmont met defeat for the first time in the season. The team was handicapped by the loss of Ira Rohie, star for- ward. This loss cost the game as they were lacking the necessary team work for a victory. MISSION GAME In this game Piedmonfs guards established a record that will go down in the Piedmont hook of fame. This feat was holding the Nlission team with- out a field goal, MiSSi0ll scoring only 2 points on free throws. S. F. POLY GAME Piedmonfs victory over S. F. Poly gave us a clean sweep over San Fran- cisco sellools. The teani was greatly outweighed hut succeeded in playing their opponents to a stand still. The game was in douht until the last play. BERKELEY GAME In the second league game Piedmont met defeat at the hands of the col- lege city squad hy a 21 to 15 score. The squad put up a strong fight hut superior class told in the end. Berkeley later was defeated by Stockton High for the Northern California Charnpionship. Mariagers Oliver, Wiilliams, Tyson, Dewiitt, and Brown 72 Ciniixz o 1 no 3 BASKETBALL 696 HARRY BRGCK, guard. Harry was a tower of defense on the basketball court. He is captain-elect of the coming season. HUBERT DAVIES, center and cap- tain. Jim was noted for his fighting spirit and his work under the basket. LLOYD DONANT, guard. Ducky, combined with Brock, formed a guarding combination which will prove hard to equal in future Piedrnont teams. His loss will bc keenly felt next season. LAVERN CORBIN, center. Vern played an excellent game for a first year man. His work in the Stanford Frosh and in the Berkeley games was very good. Vern was the winner of the Basketball Optimo cup. ELVIN PFISTER, forward. Al's fighting spirit at all times proved most contagious to his team mates, materially helping the purple and white squad es- tablish its splendid record. KENNETH ROBIE, forward. Ken did not play in the opening games of the season but soon proved that he could compare with any member of a high school squad. WILLIAM LOWDEN, guard. Al- though not given many chances to play, Bill proved his worth in the Stanford game, holding the college forward down in nice shape. IRA ROBIE, forward. Ira was de- clared ineligible after the Stanford game and was sadly missed in the C. I. F. games. Squad ll aseba B he T an 0 V-. O E 'E :vs O CJ :T E L4 O CJ E af ni 'Ta CQ r .M Q O :- N :L ca.

C. A. L. This record is better than that shown by any former Piedmont athletic team as the baseball squad was the only major sport team that won a game in the A. C. A. L. At the opening of the season Hayward was doped to win title honors, with Alameda second and Piedmont and Berkeley fighting for third position. This dope was thoroughly upset when Alameda wong Pied- mont took second, while Berkeley nosed out Hayward for third place. The purple and white squad was given good pitching at all times, but faulty support on various occasions robbed Piedmont of several games. . Cap- tain Pfister hurled the Piedmont team to victory over both Berkeley and Hayward High. The Berkeley game was very close, Piedmont winning in the eleventh inning, Berkeley only making nine scattered hits off Pfister's delivery. Pfister's work was even better in the Hayward game. The Eden boys were able to connect for only four hits, while Piedmont knocked the offerings of the Hayward pitchers for twenty hits. Piedmont had an exceptionally strong outfield. Oliver., K. Robie and Brock not only' were high in fielding averages but all three were among the leading five batsmen. Pfister and Wright, infielders, were also among the leading batters. McAllister on second, Ray on first, LaVern Corbin and Andrews in the outfield, Brian, H. Corbin, and Ball, catching,-all played good ball. Ted Hodapp, relief-pitcher, also twirled nice ball. ' PROSPECTS FOR THE COMING SEASON Prospects are quite brilliant for the coming season. Of this year's team but two men will graduate before the 1924 season. The infield of Ray., McAllister, K. Robie and VV right will be back, while L. Corbin, Oliver., Brock, and Andrews in the outfield, Brian and Ball as catchers and Pfister pitching will all be eligible next season. This squad should make a strong bid for the title. 75 ,-ir L, , -fy-,-ff.. .L.1,-:.- -. -, ' r ,A Q , ...M a 1 ,, F Pegg cf ws 0 5 fl Gi-'-M:-..?if11?9a'z: if 11 fff ' ' The practice season proved to be a disappointment to Piedmont baseball fans. The four opening games resulted in defeats for Piedmont, but from that time on the squad won a majority of their games. The best feat of the prac- tice season was thejifxd game played with Technical High. University High and the Deaf and Dumb School also met defeat at the hands of the Piedmont tossers. Other teams Piedmont met were, White,s, Oakland High, Fremont High, Richmond High and the Oakland Preps. ALAMEDA GAME Piedmont's defeat by Alameda was the only A. C. A. L. contest that was dropped. The Highlanders were severely handicapped by the loss of Leslie Heafy, star hurler, who was declared ineligible. Alameda had a heavy hitting squad and sewed up the game in the opening innings. BERKELEY GAME In the Berkeley game, Piedmont scored their first league victory. The team, trailing Berkeley by five runs in the early innings, came back in the eighth inning, to tie the score. Piedmont scored the winning run in the eleventh inning on Ball's walk and Pfister's hit. Pfister hurled a nice game for Piedmont. HAYVVARD GAME Hitting the offerings of two Hayward pitchers for a total of 20 hits and 18 runs, the Piedmont baseball squad easily defeated the Hayward team. The game developed into a pitchers' battle in the first four innings between Pfister and Roze, but in the fifth inning Piedmont got to Roze for five runs, practically winning the game. Hayward made but four hits off Pfister. This victory assured Piedmont of at least second place, if not a tie for first in the A. C. A. L. P 4 .. ...c..,.

He not only led the squad in batting but on several occasions went into the box and twirled the team to victory. HARRY BROCK, left Held. Harry's work in left field was sensational at all times. He was also one of the team's batting stars batting fourth in team averages. MARK LICALIAISTER, second base. Mark was an exceptionally steady player. Although his work was not sen- sational he could always be depended upon to come up with the ball in tight places. He is captain-elect. KENNETH ROBIE, center field and short stop. Ken was a valuable asset to the strong Piedmont infield. He was a very good fielder and was strong with the willow. THOMAS BALL, catcher. Tom's fighting spirit was at all times the fea- ture of his work on the field. He was probably the peppiest player on the squad and when catching succeeded in injecting his spirit into his battery mate. WILLIAM OLIVER, right field. Husky played the short field to per- fection, going through the season with- out an error. Bill was one of the five leading batters. LAVERN CORBIN, center field.

WING to the necessity of sending the Clan-O-Log to press early, all late sports such as track, swimming, and tennis are unable to re- ceive writeups of any length. The track team under Captain King placed fourth in the league meet. Point winners in this meet were King, Confer, Eastwood, Brock, Frank Brown, DeW'itt, and the relay team. In the Stanford meet Piedmont scored but one point when Davies placed fourth in the high jump. Tennis proved to be a greater success. The team placed second to Berkeley, nosing out Alameda for second place. Berkeley won six out of seven matches, Ross Brown scoring a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Cooper of Berkeley for Piedmont's only win. In swimming, Lowden proved to be the star of the team, scoring ESQ of the team's 11 points in the A. C. A.

HE letter men of the school, realizing the need of an organization such as the Block 'P,' Society, united in the fall of 1922 more strongly ..-, than ever before, and with a niembership of about twenty adopted a new constitution, uDutch Hummel being chosen president, Harry Brock, vice-president, and Nih', Gowing, secretary. The first undertaking of the newly-organized Block P Society was to build and manage the first bonfire rally ever attempted in Piedmont High School. The rally was a great success and will undoubtedly become one of our traditions. At the suggestion of several of the members of the society two rows of seats are reserved each day during assenlblies for the Block Pi, nien. The purpose of this is to help further the interests of the society and the school. Realizing the need of an organization which would co-operate more closely with Mr. Jones along lines of keeping order during games and other student body functions, the Block 6'P', Society with this object in mind has worked to carry out such plans. It is hoped that the future will find the society with an increased meni- bership, representing the high ideals and raising the athletic standards of Piedmont High School. 80 A Successful Season 81 The l30's in Football and Basketball and the l00's in Football 82 What Football Does For A Man 33 Y rim VERY girl in every sport. Tl1at s our motto at Piedmont High. We play no interscholastic games as the boys do, but just the same WJ? we are making our school famous for the number of girls who are actually taking part in athletics after school. Our sports do not go by seasons but are carried on throughout the year-a different sport cvery night so every girl can choose something she really enjoys. Some girls come out for every- thing, by playing tennis and hiking on week ends. Yve have had over eighty per cent of all the girls in school taking part regularly in our after-school athletics. This year fifty girls are taking swimming lessons at the Y. YV. C. A. besides those wl1o swim elsewhere. Sixty are out for rowing, a crew for every class. Thirty are riding every week, and our tennis players are too many to count. Our basketball series resulted in a hard fought draw between the seniors, juniors., and sophomores and as for baseball., solne girls play every noon hour. Our moonlight supper hikes are perhaps the most fun of all. The fashion show we staged in the auditorium was such a success that we were asked to repeat it for both the Mothers' and the Dads' Clubs. One hundred and fifty of us came out in costume at our Xmas .links and you should have seen the poor hungry boys who tried to get some of our refreshments. And as for hard work, don't you remember how we raked the rocks off our athletic field on Halloweien? Won't you join us in our C. A. A. song, to the tune of Viva l'Amour?

JEAN-DU-DOIGT By Jane Laidlaw ADELAINE stepped down from the wagon and looked eagerly about her. The little village of St. ,lean-du-doigt was in festive array, for this was the day of the Pardon, the greatest, in fact, the only event of the year. In the province of Brittany in Northern France each little village has its patron Saint, and once a year gives a fete or Pardon in his honor. For Madelaine it was a day to he dreamed of for months aheadg for, though she lived only several miles out of the village, she did not come in except on Sundays for church. Today, surely, would be one of greatest joy, and she felt that for once she was quite beautiful. Her dress, with its full skirt of heavy black cloth which reached to her ankles, had belonged first to her grandmotherg her apron was heavily embroidered, as was her fringed black shawl that just touched the ground, and her high lace collar and stiffly starched lace cap were of the finest handiwork. Her hair, curled a bit around her face, made her feel delightfully wicked. Her heart was heating fast as she walked slowly into the church by her n1other,s side. According to the old legend of the village the finger of St. John-a treasure in the church at Rome--was stolen many hundreds of years ago by a priest, who fled with it to Brittany, where, for various reasons, he buried it. Strange things happened around the spot where it was hidden, and at last it was discovered. This finger was supposed to possess miraculous powers, especially in healing the eyes, and, as the story runs, the old church was built directly over the spot where it was found. After the sermon the congregation knelt while the priest, with much ceremony, touched the little gold case supposedly containing the finger, to the eyes of each person. There followed a procession that seemed truly magni- ficent to Madelaineg three priests in their red robes, some girls in white, and several banners, a huge gold cross carried by two staggering boys, a miniature cathedral under a glass case, and the little casket containing the finger, re- posing on a velvet cushion. Leading the procession was a little hoy with a lamb, representing St. John as a boy. As the parade wound slowly hack into the churchyard there was a general rush for the main road, which was lined with the hooths of that strange company of people that go from Pardon to Pardon with their stock of Bibles and rosaries, tin jewelry, novelties, and stale candies. But to Madelaine the most important event of the day was the Shinodec -that curious custom that still exists in Britanny, and without which no fete is complete. The young damsels stand by the side of the road, and each young man, choosing the one who appeals to him, takes her arm and walks up the road until one or the other suggests turning back. W'hen they reach the candy booth the gallant buys his lady a bag of candy, escorts her hack to the place where he found her, and, excusing himself, goes after another. A few couples were already starting. For a while Madelaine was content to examine the trinkets on sale and to listen to the strolling singers, but as Q0 time passed and no one came near her she began to grow alarmed. Surely someone would ask her to faire la Shinodecln Why, after all her dreams and plans, it was impossible that--! But no one came. She went back to the group of girls who still waited-hopefully but without result. There were many girls, surely less attractive than she, who had been walking most of the morning., and whose pockets were filled with candy- symbols of their popularity. An unattached young man passed by and she smiled at him encouragingly, but, intent on other things, he did not notice her. Why, oh, why, didn't someone come to see her? For a while she tried to laugh and chat with the other girls in hopes that someone would look her way. But the effort proved in vain, and at last in spite of herself, the tears rushed to her eyes, and hurrying away from the crowd she started down the road alone. It was impossible to go home now, she would have to wait until the rest were ready. But at least she could get away from the sight of this merri- ment in which she had no part. Behind her the road was black with strolling couples, musicians were playing and singing, and beggars whined their prayers with outstretched palms. So this was the long-dreamed-of fete where she was to have reigned, the most desirable to men, the most envied of the young girls! It was too horrible! . Pardon me, Madamoisellef'-She looked up to see two young men- Americans from the cut of their clothes-smiling down at her. Is it very far to St. ,lean-du-doigt? We just came on the funiculaire from Morlaixf'-He spoke French rather badly- Just around the corner, Sirf'- Thank youf'-and then in English-'aSay, Jack, as long as weire going to see this fete, why not see it in style? W'hat about taking the young lady with us to 'faire la Shinodec' in real Breton fashion? -And, turning to Madelaixie, Would you like to go back and take a little walk with us?',-'5Well, all rightf'-If they could only know how her heart was beating-what hope was in her breast! The rest of the afternoon passed like a dream. Proudly she walked up and down the road, by the still waiting and undesired ones. It seemed im- possible that she had once been standing among them. The two Americans showered candy and attention upon her, and when at last it was time to go she was almost too happy to say good-bye. After her departure the two Americans strolled laughing down the hill. L'Well, Jack, said one, what would they say at home to see you walking about with the beautiful Bretons? The other smiled, Never mind, it makes good material for my book, and that's what Iim here for. Letis find someone elsef' But to Madelaine, jogging home i11 her cart, this afternoon had brought a joy that would be with her through all the lonely months that would follow. She had been to the Pardon of St. ,lean-du-doigt and she had been asked to Hfaire la Shinodecf' Could any girl desire more?

The cold rays of the moon shining through the window fell upon an old Armchair rocking vigorously to and fro. Opposite the Armchair stood a stately Grandfathefs Clock. Your rocking is extremely annoying and almost made me forget to strike, said the latter, as it ponderously chimed out the hour of twelve. I should think you would be tired after watching the preparations for to-morrow. Oh, hum, sighed the Armchair, as it rocked more vigorously than ever. Had you had the same experience as I, just eight years ago to-night, you would not be quite so calm. You were not a member of the family at that time and do not know how, on a night just like this, Mistress Jacqueline almost lost her sweetheart and I was the cause of it all. Tell me about it, responded the Clock. '5It may relieve your mind. You will pardon me, however, if I interrupt every fifteen minutes for I must not forget to chime. So the old Armchair settled back, calmly drawing its tapestry arms a little nearer each other, and planting its mahogany legs more firmly on the rockers. 4'My friend, as all pioneer furniture knows, the Civil War broke out in 1861. The days before were gay ones, and this house rang with the laughter of the young folks, but gayest of the gay, and handsomest of the handsome were Mistress Jacqueline and her sweetheart, Warren Fairfax. Her eyes were as blue as the sky and her ringlets like burnished gold. In great contrast were his brown eyes and dark hair. They would have been married had it not been for the war. The Chair rocked thoughtfully, while the Clock drew its hands closer together, and assumed an air of interest. HAS I said before, continued the Chair, settling back once again, uthe war broke out, and the stern parents of Mistress Jacqueline felt that patriotism was greater than love, for Warren Fairfax was a Northerner. When he left to join the Northern ranks, the parting between the two was most pathetic. After he had gone she came to me for sympathy, and throwing herself in my lap, wept on my shoulder. This happened in 1861 but the real event occurred on Christ- mas Eve, 1862. One morning, the day before Christmas, Mistress J acqueline's father, Colonel Greenwood, came hurriedly into the hall. I can still feel the out of the scissors, as they went through the covering on my right arm, and the prick of the needle as it mended the cut. When the Colonel had finished doing this he said aloud. 'There, I reckon that will be safe until to-morrow.' ,i The Chair raised its right arm, for the Clock's inspection. After this when I moved my right arm, I heard a crackle as of paper. The mysterious way the Colonel had placed this crinkly something in my arm made me feel as if I had been in- trusted with a deep secret. I felt very proud and hoped to prove my loyalty? The Clock chimed sympathetically. But this was not the worst of all, broke in the Armchair, for that very night W'arren Fairfax, whom I had not seen for a long time, appeared. To my surprise he did not come through the door as formerly, but through the window. Q3 1 W 5l.'4 I ' I There was determination on his face, and I creaked and groaned loudly when he tore open the cut in my right ann. As he removed the crinkling some- thing, he muttered to himself, 'Burton told me the truth, the orders are here. Now for my safe return to Grant's camp., I knew then that the young Robert Burton, who had spent the last two nights under this roof, was a spy. I also recalled to my mind, how he had come out of the music-room soon after Colonel Greenwood had placed the papers in my arm. I was much upset when I real- ized that the Colonelis secret had not been safe with me, but when W'arren laid his hand almost lovingly on my shoulder I was torn between my affection for the two men. My creaking must have aroused Mistress Jacqueline., for she came down the stairs, and her face turned white when she saw who it was. 6W3ffCll,, she gasped, 'can it be you? What brings you here?' He bowed his head a moment, and his hand trembled on my shoulder. Then he said in firm, low tones, 'My loyalty to the North, Jacqueline, brings me. Trust me and have faith that all I do, is fair, and true, -and rightf 'I trust you, Warren,-always.' I longed to hold them both in my arms, for North and South were as one to me, even then, sighed the Chair. Quite rightf, quoth the Clock. Just then, resumed the Chair, heavy steps were heard on the gravel walk. With a frightened look and a whispered word Jacqueline pushed Wfarren behind those curtains you see back of me. In rushing past he jostled my arm, and I, being overwrought, commenced to rock vigorously, as I always do when excited. Mistress Jacqueline opened the door cautiously in response to the knock- ing. 'Sorry to disturb you, Miss, but we are under strict orders. A man was seen entering that window, and we must search the house., 'There must be some mistakef responded my Jacqueline sweetly. 'Al- though I myself was disturbed and came down, I found no stranger here., After many protestations, Jacqueline, to avoid suspicion, stepped aside, knowing she had gained time for Wiarren. Four Confederate soldiers entered. I am glad now that they did not look behind me first. Instead they went to the foot of the stairs and looked up, but upon hearing or seeing nothing they came back. But one of them caught sight of my rocker, and with a sharp cry rushed past me, followed closely by the other three. My back was to the hiding place and I could only judge by their CXCIHIIIZIIIOIIS that they had discovered something. In a moment I knew what I had done. In my hurried rocking I had pushed apart the curtains, and had done what I had never meant to do,-dis- closed Warren's boots. I waited anxiously, only to hear one of the soldiers cry out in disgust. 'Oh, they're only empty boots! 'I'here's no use looking any further here. He's made his escape by nowl, I nearly chuckled to myself, for after all I was mighty glad that it all was turning out so well for Jacqueline and me, for I could never have forgiven myself if it had been through me that a friend was betrayed. Indeed, it was like Warren to think quickly in an emer- gency. Realizing that I had exposed his boots in my rocking, he had stepped out of them and gone long before Jacqueline had admitted the soldier. A few days later, Mistress Jacqueline confided in me her happiness over the fact that Warren had safely reached the Northern lines. 94 1 I , 4 I am grateful for your confidence,,' ejaculated the Clock and the story strikes deep into my heart. Now that the war is over, by-gones are by gones What a Master and Mistress W'arren and Jacqueline have been Well the hour grows late so a Merry Christmas to you, chimed the Clock. The same to you and many of them,', answered the old Armchair ceasin its rocklng and settling itself for a night's rest. FASHIONS OF KING TUT By sranleigh White King Tut! they've dug up his remains Along with stylish clothes of old, Evolved by Egypt's modish brains, Adorning mummies cold. And now the maidens of today, All bowing under Fashion s sway, Adorn themselves that self-same way, As did 'I'ut s wives of old. These gorgeous, wild Egyptian styles, That dazzle unaccustomed eyes, Enhanced the old-time maiden's wiles, And help our own likewise. Perhaps these excavations deep, That cause the diggers loss of sleep Will make the modern fashions sweep Into some different guise. They've dug up lots of Dinosaurs, And fossils, petrified, they tell, Why couldn,t Fashionis open doors, Adopt these just as well?

SPRING By Gale Wallace Of all the rollicking seasons four, Spring is the one most merry, For earth has lost her winter cloak, And flowers and birds are cheery.

In winter, when the white snow lies like a blanket on the mountains, the swirling torrent in mad frenzy pulls and tugs at the banks in an endeavor to undermine them. At this time, when the first rains and rising waters succeed in forcing a channel through the ever- shifting sandbar, which tries to hold the waters of the river from reaching the sea, the days of real sport begin. Then and only then, the lordly steelhead trout race in schools up the river, hunting for a suitable spot to spawn. Those are the days when with line and spoon the busy sportsman tries his skill. Those are the nights when around the stove in the grocery store the day's fish stories are told. But those are not the only days of sport. Fed by melting snows and en- couraged by the aid of springs along its route, the river in summer is serene and nlajestic. With the summer colne the warm days when city people turn to the Russian River for the coolness of its giant redwood trees, the joy of swimming in its waters. Flocks of canoes and rowboats swarm up and down the river and the incessant pop pop of the motorhoat is heard. Off in some shady nook the fisherman patiently waits for the wary bass to taste his of- fering. Those are the nights when after an afternoon on the river the fisher- man parades his catch through town amid admiring eyes. It is wonderland with its pine-clad mountains, its giant redwoods, and its game of all sorts-deer, rabbits, ducks, quail, and dove. The wide graceful river, its bank lined with oak and willow, forms a wonderful picture. It is perhaps the only river in the world that starts in the mountains, flows out into the open plains, back into the mountains again, and then bursts out to the sea, Wfinding thru the mountains The Russian River Hows, Its waters come from many springs And from the winter snows. From the nlountains to the valleys Back to the hills once more, At last it slides with all its strength Upon the ocean shore. And where it strikes the ocean, There is neither bush nor tree, A low and rumbling roar is heard Wihen the river meets the sea. In summer as in winter There is still a steady How, And the stream goes on forever As all good deeds should go. 96 tmxw 0 Loo s Qtr: -....-:ri q i YOUNG LOCHINVAR UP-TO-DATE CWith apologies to Sir Walter Scott.D - By Isabelle Burrell I Oh, Young Lochinvar rattled out of the Westl On any old highway his Ford was the best, And save for his monkey-wrench, tools he had none, He carried no gas tank, he didn't need one. His windshield was missing, so dirty his car, He was not much to look at, this Young Lochinvar. II He stay'd not for speed cops, and he stopp'd not for law, He forded the Eske River, still shooting on four: But ere he chugged up to the Netherby gate, The bride had consented to an aerial mateg His airplane so shiny, his clothes above par, Made a hit with fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar. III So loudly he entered the Netherby Hall, 'Mong bridesmen, and kinsmen, and brothers and all, That up spake the bride's mother, her hands on her hips, While the ladylike bridegroom was rouging his lips, 4'0h, come ye to slay us, or come ye so slick, To feast at our wedding and make yourself sick ? IV I long wooid your offspring, my love was ignored, Since then I have bought me a swell little Ford, And now I am come with that Lizzie so fine To eat but one hot-dog, drink one glass of wine. If I'm able to drive after taking that drink, Iill leave fair Ellen to marry her gink!', V The bride kiss'd the goblet, the knight took it up. Shouted he, Do you think, for me, one glass is enough? She look,d down to blush, and she look,d up to find That he had settled a thing or two in his quick mind. He took her soft hand 'ere her mother could bar, Kid, let's toddle a measure, said Young Lochinvar. VI His clothes they were greasy, he needed a shave, As for dancing, his feet just would not behaveg While her mother did weep and her father did swear, And the hridegroom stood brushing his stay-combedi' hair And the bride-maidens whispered, 'Twere better by far To have pawned off our cousin on Young Lochinvarf' 97 K4 VII One touch to her hand, and one word in her ear, 'sshake a leg, Kid, my Lizzie stands near. So light to the seat the fair Ellen he swung, So light to the wheel beside her he sprung! She is mine! we are gone, in our good little car. What care we if they follow, said Young Lochinvar. VIII There was cranking and backfiring something fierce, Marmons, Stutzes, Buicks and a Pierceg There were blow-outs and smash-ups on Cannobie Lea But the lost bride of Netherby ne'er did they see. So faithful in love, and more daring by far, I'll tell the world he was some Lochinvar! MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE By Janet Coffin Out from the shadows of mystery, To the waters of darkest blue, Where the moonlight glimmers across the lake, I glide in niy small canoe. The shadows move with the swaying trees, The air is cool and still, And the joy of being in solitude Runs thru my soul with a thrill. The shimmering moonlight dances and plays O'er those murmuring waters at rest, And the old trees croon a lullaby To the lake they love the best. Flit on, oh, silver rnoonlight, And o'er the blue lake play, I gaze once more in ecstacy And then I paddle away. IIIEE lllgigsi -1 ---Q : fN5- ' 93 DEBATE A- 1 I .IAY CURTS HAROLD CORBIN BERNARD DONNELLY WINT SAINT RUTH LAWRENCE FREDERICK HYDE 33 25 95 HE challenge from University High brought several of the best speak- ers of the school into the debate class the second semester. In order to make it a student and parliamentary organization, Mr. Batdorf had the class organize into a debate club, and the class meetings have been con- ducted in that way. Officers elected were J. B. Donnelly, president, ,lay Curts, vice-president, Marion Chase, and later Elizabeth Desmond, secretary. This plan has been more profitable and much more interesting to all concerned. The big event of the year was the debate with University High. Ten con- testants entered the tryouts that lasted an entire afternoon and that resulted in Ruth Lawrence and Harold Corbin, ,lay Curts and W'intford Saint winning places on the teams, with Bernard Donnelly and Frederick Hyde as alternates. After a period of vigorous preparation March 9 arrived, and a spirited rally sent Ruth Lawrence and Harold Corbin to University High, and ,I ay Curts and Wintford Saint into our own auditorium, determined to win. It was a memor- able afternoon for Piedmont, for the reason that our home team defeated their able visiting opponents by a safe margin, and Ruth and Harold brought back an overwhelming victory from U-N-I's platform. The student assembly was warm in its welcome and expression of pride in our talented debaters. Directly after this contest a challenge was sent to University High for another debate, but it was canceled after we waited a considerable period for a' reply. The teams were anxious to debate the winners of the Tri-City Debating League, but the final contest that determined the winners came too late in the term. Within the club, two lively exercises were held, in the form of moot court trials. In these, ,lay Curts and Frederick Hyde figured as attorneysg Merri- man Hummel and Cap', Koser as defendants: Burr Donnelly, Noble Gowing, and Wint Saint as judges. This year has put Piedmont High on the map in debating circles and the stage is set for a profitable year for a large class next fall. 99 Off and On mo H E DE and THER IOI EDITORIALS M9218 fE'ditor's Note: Nlany people will avoid this section of the book as if the reading would immediately inoculate them with a fatal germ. The editorials have not been written, however, with the intention of being so deadly boring that they will kill. In fact, the subjects taken up in these few pages should be of greater interest to the student than any other material in the entire year- book. The topics discussed under this heading are not to be found in any other part of this publication. Take a chance, you may be surprised. j OUR SUPERINTENDENT HERE came to Piedmont, two years ago, a man who has had more in- fluence than any other individual upon the students of Piedmont High School, in furthering the attainrnent of the thought expressed in our motto, Achieve the Honorable. This man is Harry W. Jones, our principal and superintendent, who, ever since he has been with us, has proved himself to be one who stands for the highest ideals, and who has the courage and de- termination to carry them to their final accomplishment. Without the progressive spirit of Mr. Jones this school would probably be without its greatest reasons for being considered worthy of note: he has or- ganized and fostered our system of student government, he has inaugurated our Artists' Course, he has been a firm believer in our assemblies, and through his encouragement the Highlander, the Clan-O-Log, the printing press needed to produce these publications, and the athletic field have become realities. It is to Mr. Jones that we owe our gratitude for these and other accom- plishments. We may consider ourselves extremely fortunate in having, at the head of this school, Harry W. Jones, a man in whom we believe, and a man who has faith in us and in the future of Piedmont High School. OUR DEAN ERTAINLY deserving of praise is Miss Hattie Haub. Both in her cap- acity as Dean and as Head of the Science Department, she has well demonstrated her ability, and her interest in the welfare of the students of Piedmont High School. We wish to take this occasion to express our appre- ciation of her work in our behalf. THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS PRESENT-AN ARTISTS' COURSE HAT may be regarded as the largest and most favorably known en- terprise that Piedmont High School has ever undertaken was the .,. 1,-. Artists' Course for the years 1922 and 1923. This was the first of its kind ever presented in Piedmont and, it is be- lieved, in the bay section. The overwhelming success of the course from the very beginning surprised even its niost ardent advocates. Success was achieved not only in an artistic sense but also in the practical financial side of the pro- ject, making another course for next year a near certainty. This is being looked forward to by music lovers both in this high school and in the bay section, for the fame of our course has spread. The aim of this enterprise was primarily to give the students of this high school an opportunity to hear the most artistic of music played by the foremost IO2 1 musicians of the world. This has been accomplished, for the majority of the students have attended the concerts, with only a few absent. These few are to be pitied for their lack of foresight in securing tickets, this lack being due no doubt to ignorance concerning the treat in store for them. It is certain that no mistakes of this kind will be made next year. The second aim of the Artists' Course was to bring these talented musi- cians to Piedmont in order that the community as a whole might enjoy their offerings. This aim has also been accomplished, as may be shown by the ,fact that our auditorium was crowded to the doors during every concert. Piedmont High School desires only the best and in choosing the artists for this course only the most accomplished and most famous men and women in the world of music were selected. No further proof of this fact is needed than to give the names of D,Alvarez, David, Graveure, Zimbalist and Lucchese as the artists that appeared on our programs. Our high school has thus taken the lead in arousing a greater interest in music, and at the end of the school year we take pride in having an accom- plishment of this kind to our credit. STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL SPIRIT By ROLLIN KOSER fz' HE one thing that will advertise a school, either favorably or un- favorably, is the school spirit that manifests itself there. School spirit can make the institution either a leader or a follower. Spirit will inspire the athletic teams to fight to their last ounce of strength and endurance., and in nine cases out of ten, the team., backed by the spirit, will he victorious. This spirit can only show itself when each and every one of the students takes it upon himself to get behind the officers and tries to help by giving them his absolute co-operation. Perhaps a rule may be passed that seems unreason- able to the student who will be inclined to be sulky, saying, It did not receive my voteg why should I follow it?,' He must remember that the rule is the voice of the majority and therefore must he followed. It is this spirit that will carry the school toward the goal of success and en- able her to forge to the front in school circles. In a new school such as Piedmont, it is difficult for the students to pull together and only through hard work is co-operation finally secured. Piedmont has gone a long way towards this goal, because the students are getting the co-operative spirit, and every day finds student government being more firmly established as an institution in Piedmont High. Let us continue to support this progressive movement and make our stu- dent government and school spirit a guiding star to the other schools of the country. ---il A SPLENDID GIFT EN TION should be made at this time of a gift by the Parent-Teachers' Association of a beautiful picture to each of the six classes of this high school, the class presidents making the selection for their re- spective classes from a great number of fine pictures. Until our building is well decorated, the Parent-Teachers' Association plans on making a gift of this sort annually. Each year there is to be chosen a student from every class, whose name shall he engraved on the frame of the picture which is given that respective year. This honor is fairly conferred. The requisites to win are: flj scholar- 103 . :rr -' - 'Eric-Zxlfil ,fvkffzri Ll.: :..'f.:.:::L..: '::l gf: CLAN o zncez- 5 tg: , ship, f2j popularity and school spirit, Q3 jfaculty vote. The decision is reached by the following method. Several students are nominated in the class as being worthy of this honor. First, the scholarship of the candidate is con- sidered. Needless to say the student must be on the honor roll. The second factor, to be determined by class vote, is popularity and school spirit, school spirit to be estimated by what the student has done for Piedmont High School. The third and last factor is the vote of the faculty. The general attitude and the conduct in class of the candidate are carefully considered. Through this medium the students wish to express to the Parent-Teachers' Association their sincere thanks and true gratitude for these artistic and beau- tiful gifts. Appreciation is felt not only for the pictures themselves but also for the wise encouraging of scholarship, good fellowship, school spirit, and general thoughtfulness, through the award to a student of each class of the honor of having his or her name engraved on the frame of the class picture. THE SONG OF THE SCHOOL : HE lack of a school song has been keenly felt during the past year, but at the end of this semester upon entering assembly one morning f.-' we were presented with a copy of the Piedmont Anvil Song. Before this assembly few of us knew that Mr. Jones was able to write words to music., although we readily admit that his other word-compositions are without an equal. Our superintendent, being prompted by the same school spirit that we all feel, wrote these words to the Anvil Chorus, after remarking upon the ex- cellent music and its adaptability to a school song. After hearing the music and words together, we heartily agree with him. PIEDMONT ANVIL SONG Here's to our High School, In Piedmont so glorious, Pride of our city we hail thy name. Under thy standards with honor victorious, We,ll strive to bring thee eternal fame. Hail, Piedmont High School, We'll fight for thee-victorious, Purple and Wlhite shall wave In triumph ever glorious. Hail, Hail, Hail, Piedmont's WOHCIIOIIS School! We'll stand united, Our faith is plighted To thee forevernlore. IN ASSEMBLY ONTROL of talking in assembly has been one of the most difficult problems that has confronted student government this year. During the fall semester talking persisted, and some weeks before turbances would be eliminated. the end of the semester the Board of Control presented a plan by which dis- This plan., for the same reasons that all new ideas are looked upon with suspicion, was rejected and the H100 per centw system was chosen for a trial. In this system every student was to be 100 per cent on his honor and no re- porting was to be done by selected officers, by the faculty or by each other. This plan succeeded remarkably well for two weeks, but at the end of this 104 4 ,-,,,L:,':4' . nz, . V .gin fit Milf, in period talking slowly began to increase again in the auditorium. At the be- ginning of the spring semester the new Board of Control again offered the plan that had been submitted the previous fall to the student body, and this time it was selected. The plan was practical. The rule provided that every student was to be on his honor: first, not to communicate with anyone either by talking or by note-writing, and second, to report any violation of this law. The method of reporting is carried on in the following manner, the name of the offender is written on a slip of paper, and after the writer has also signed his name, the slip is turned into a box in the office. At the next meeting of the Board of Control the box is opened and the lawbreaker called up and sentenced. The punishment is a certain number of assembly periods in the study hall, and in- creases at every additional offense. After this method was followed for a short time, talking soon ceased in assembly and now the entertainments and announcements are enjoyed in peace. Let us continue the good work. HIGHLAND FLING OR the reason that this book is going to press before the Highland , ,, ,W Flin takes lace, onl the lans are able to be told at this time. if 9 if ' The purpose of the Carnival is to raise money for the various student activities during the school year. This is to be the second annual presentation, for this custom was established only last year. The Highland Fling, which this year is to present a merry Medieval Carni- val, is to be given June l. The day will be devoted to amusement and pure joy, for it is the only occasion of the year when the entire student body unites for the one purpose of having a good time. There will be over twenty booths devoted to food and concessions. All classes and organizations are to compete to find out which one can raise the largest amount of money. Every class will again meet competition when pre- senting its skit in the auditorium for the prize vaudeville cup. A nickel dance, expected to be another money maker, will be held during the afternoon. Sterling Rounthwaite, commissioner of entertainments, is managing the Carnival. There are also two committees: the art committee consisting of Julia Bain, chairman, Etha Garlick, Dick Brown, Virginia Moldrup and Philip Ray, the purchasing committee, consisting of Ellen Bailey, chairman, Ted Hyde, John Tyson, and Merriman Hummel. ' The Highland Fling is expected to be a marvelous success, and with the support of the students there may be no doubt of this result. THE PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION AND DADS' CLUB fi'f i't HE Parent-Teachers' Association, with Mrs. M. E. Wright as president, IS the group that the mothers of the students have formed in order to promote the best interests of tl1e younger generation of Piedmont. The fathers of the students in order to achieve the same purpose have organized a Dads' Club, with Mr. W. WY. Saint as president. The need and importance of these two organizations cannot be overesti- mated. It is through the Parent-Teachers' Association and the Dads' Club that the student body of this high school comes into direct contact with the citizens of Piedmont and in a converse manner, it is through these two groups that practically the entire population of this city express their feeling toward the students. In fact, the Parent-Teachers' Association and the Dads' Club 105 X - . r Lys are the means of a common promotion of good will and understanding between the younger and older generations. V OUR ALUMNI OME comment on the Alumni is naturally expected in a yearbook and except for a scarcity of these people, because of the youthfulness 1,. 'ii' of Piedmont High School, they would have been more strongly represented in this book. Many of our graduates are attending the various institutions of learning in the state, among them the University of California, Stanford University an one or the other of the various business colleges. In years to come the influence of our Alumni will he a much greater factor in our school life than it is at present. A NEW TRADITION N these pages may be seen engravings of three cups. One is the Football Optimo,', awarded this year to Rollin Koser, the second is the Basketball Optimo, awarded to LaVern Corbin, and the third is the Baseball 'LOptimo, awarded to Murison Wright. This year many traditions have been established, among them being a yearly presentation of the three Optimos,,' one each for football, basketball. and baseball, to the individual player who ranks highest in the three require- ments: flj skill in playing the gameg Q21 scholarship, which speaks for itself, and C35 sportsmanship, playing the game fairly and squarely, and strictly adhering to training rules. The award of each cup is made for one year only, and the player's name is engraved upon it as a permanent record. The three trophies have been appropriately named, the Latin word 'aoptimow meaning the best in every way. It is through the capable efforts of Mr. Robert Walker, that the idea of these cups became a reality. Mr. Walker directed the subscription of money among the citizens of Piedmont, mainly the fathers of Piedmont High School students. Both the students and lovers of sport in this city may well appreciate the work of Mr. Walker and the financial support given him by a loyal group of Piedmont citizens in encouraging the high standard of skill, sportsmanship and scholarship required for the winning of one of these three cups. ,R zjbw kg gf' g 1 , r- j,,4ff'fw3f. - sl X. , . .,.,- s. , , gli, J E4 X 'V .C .f.. .

Every ad- vantage has been given to the students and it is for us to prove that we are de- serving of such a gift. Through the results of several bond elections, the people of Piedmont have expressed their full confidence in the school children of Piedmont and this confidence is greatly appreciated by the present students and will be honored and kept sacred by the generations to come. CLAN-O-LOG COVER DESIGN HE staff which has just completed this yearbook has given its at- tention both to the problems of the present and those of the future. After serious consideration, it suggests that the cover design used on this, the 1923 Clan-O-Log, remain permanent, to be used each year, only the numerals at the bottom being changed. In this way the Clan-O-Log may be known immediately wherever it may go, for the lettering, shield and scroll, will become a recognized emblem of the Piedmont High School yearbook. The cover-paper, and the color of the printing may be changed, but it is believed that the cover design itself should remain permanent. IN APPRECIATION ERHAPS the most frequently used, and at the same time the most sincere expression in the English language is Thank you. The Clan-O-Lo staff wishes in the followin ara ra h, to ex ress its . g 9 S sincere thanks to several people who have made this book possible. First, to Miss Martha G. Lane, who has already been mentioned in the sec- tion devoted to the Clan-O-Log, is due the greatest credit in the publishing of this book. Second, with the deepest feeling of appreciation for his material aid and for his friendly and worth while advice the staff wishes to express its sincere thanks to Mr. John D. Berger, who under the most difficult conditions has succeeded in turning out an exceptionally well printed book. Third, too much praise cannot be given the art department, under the direction of Mrs. Goldie P. Harding, for the skillful and artistic work which is evident on these pages. Philip Nesbitt and James Dickie deserve special mention for their valuable assistance. Fourth, the attitude of the faculty has been a great en- couragement to thestail' during the past months. The unfortunate necessity of breaking up class recitations in order to take photographs one or two days during the school year is to be regretted. The staff, however, did its best to arrange this matter in a way that would cause the least disturbance. Fifth, the staff also wishes to thank the teachers of the English department for their co-operation in making the Clan-O-Log Literary contest a success. Sixth, the typewritten material turned out by the typing department under Miss Edith E. Clark has been another great aid in the publishing of this book. Seventh, the finished work turned out by the American Engraving and Colorplate Company is also deserving of mention. Mr. E. B. DeGolia Jr. in particular should receive thanks for his helpful advice and co-operation. Eighth, the good service given by the Multipho Studio in regard to the photography in this book is also appreciated by the staff.
