HE Clan-0-Log, the annual publication of Piedmont High School, as Z the derivation of the title suggests, is a chronology of the school. From the Scotch, we have coined the word Clan-0-Log, Clan stand- ing for the students, and Log meaning history. Although this is only the third edition of the Clan-0-Log, Piedmont High School has had an annual for each of the four years that the school has existed. During our first year, which was spent in the shacks, a yearbook called simply the Piedmont High School Annual was published. This book was en- tirely a school product, each copy being made up by the students, the pictures were pasted in, and the drawings and cartoons were dine by hand, as was also the cover design. The printing of this bock, the aspiring young students did themselves on a mimeograph. The editors of the first annual of Piedmont High School deserve congratulations, when we consider that the students were only about a hundred strong and all freshnzen. The following year the same students and others decided to establish for Piedmont High School an annual that would ne-ver be below the dignity of the glorious future of the school. They selected a stag, and at its first meeting, after much meditation, the staff decided that the name of the newly-born book should be the Clan-0-Log. For their choice we are indeed grateful to them, for there is not a nobler title to be found. The publication that followed contained eighty-four pages of matter worthy of any high school. In 1922, when Piedmont High School moved into its present beautiful build- ing, the Clan-O-Log was well established, however, the improvement made that year, 1922-1923, indicated that the staj felt that the new surroundings demanded a yearbook which could be surpassed by no one. Accordingly, they issued one of the finest annuals in the state, one which was clearly and truly representative of all the activities of the school during the year, and one which contained ma- terial of equal interest to every one. The development of the Clan-O-Log has indeed been synonymous with that of the school itself. It has been our task this year to uphold the high standards set by the previous editors of the Clan-0-Log, as well as to keep in step with the growth of our school. If you are pleased with the result of our cjort, we shall feel doubly thankful for the privilege that has been ours in put- ting out this volume. 5 4W7V f ' ' A A ' Y Y AAAAAAA AA 34 A H 5 P .

A - H. W . JONES B. S., Cornell College M. A., University of California THE SCHOOL YEAR 1923-1924. mg' ,1 HIS yearbook records the third year in the life of Piedmont High School. The year has been one of great growth and many triumphs. The Student Body has just cause for pride in the achievements of the school in its Music, Dramatics, Athletics, Publications, Self-Government, and general activities. There has been a notable development in school spirit, de- mocracy, and citizenship responsibilities. The scholarship of the school has advanced noticeably and larger numbers are gaining the distinction of the Honor Roll. In every phase of school life the year just closed has been one of progress and success. Glorious as these victories may seem, the great gains have come to you, students, who have been the participants in these activities. 'LNothing succeeds like Success and to develop the habit of success now along with high standards of social and moral conduct is to lay a sure foundation for your futures. Successful as the year just closed has been, let us not be content to rest upon the laurels we have gained. As you peruse the record of the triumphs in this book, let them be an inspiration to all of you to make the next year an even greater and better year, not only for Piedmont High School but for the develop- ment of those things in your lives which are most worth while. I have great faith in the Piedmont High School boys and girls. I am con- fident that the year 1924-1925 will add even greater triumphs to the exception- ally line records which are chronicled in this book. H. W. JONES.

CLAN-O-LOG SENIOR CLASS HISTORY iael , S Mr. Johnson has so thoroughly impressed on our minds, history is a 3 record of the past in relation to the living present. It has become our 7 , duty to show what the past of the class of 1924 has been, and as the 'jak happenings of the last four years are directly responsible for the great YT 'L events of the living present,-namely, our career as seniors and our ' ' graduation from high school, the truth of Mr. johnson's statement is apparent. li The class of 1924 has several distinctions which cannot possibly be- illflls long to any future group of Piedmont students. First, we are the initial ' group to complete four years in Piedmont High School. We are, there- 'K 'T fore, the first real representatives of the school. Next, we never have suffered the trials and tribulations ordinarily experienced by freshmen, because when we were in our first year, we were the school, there being no other classes above us. Finally, we have the honor of numbering among our classmates Ross Brown in person. Ross, better known as Magnavox, is said to have given the inventor of that instru- ment the inspiration for its production. It is our conviction that the magnavox system now in use in the school will be far more appreciated when Ross graduates. -Mi When we started school in August, I52O, conditions were slightly different from those which prevail at the close of our high school career. Mr. Cooper was then our principal, and we were occupying the shacks. The only teachers who were with us when we started and who have had the courage to remain to see us graduate are Mrs. Lohse and Miss Drury. Our chief opponents in athletics were the pupils of Havens School. The exciting moments of these games were recorded in an Annual, the forerunner of the Clan-O- Log, edited by Bill DeWitt. This book, now historic, consisted of a number of mimeo- graphed pages. Jimmie Tyson proved to be an embryo artist by his illustrations, it is to be regretted that he did not develop his talent further. We must also mention the humorous section, and hope the joke editor's sense of humor has improved since then. Among other notable events we mention Elvin Pfister's frequent visits to the of- fice. According to the best available statistics, he spent more time there than any boy is likely to spend in the future. Here our class set another record for originality, or efficiency, as you may wish to call it. iQ-- While we were sophomores, Piedmont High grew into a real school and our class enlarged proportionally. We chose Mr. Jones as our new principal, and to help him, as additions to the faculty, we brought Miss Haub and Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin can- not be mentioned without a reference to his famous watch which came to be as well known as its owner. On every possible occasion he would extoll the merits of this re- markable timepiece. We can never forget Mac Willimann, our coach, who struggled very successfully to produce winning teams on an athletic field that ran up hill and down .as it chose. The presidents of the class for the year were Harmon Bell in the fall term, and Fred Bullard in the spring term. The question of school colors, of the names for va- rious publications, and of the school seal came up this term and were settled after due consideration on our part. A spirited debate took place between those' who wished to see gray and crimson as the school colors, and those who desired purple and white. The names, Clan-O-Log, Highland Fling, and Highlander, were selected at this time after much argument. We were also instrumental in the success of the bond election for the completion of the new school. -fs-W vw. 1- - . .,, . . .1 . . f--1 .--1. .1- -ff.---V,--.. 1 .---rv-r--yn--Y-,--, .A - ,,-,Lam,.,k,1gf-,-,u.,f,.1.:Lx,,xj- Lu '-,gk . . 2-- f .. .1-L Lx I Lx 1.1-f' X I3 Lfrfnrtfficf iz.

Although there were no licking flames to be seen, and no chance for rescues by Wint Saint and other dashing members of the class, still there was a vast amount of smoke and even more speculation as to the possibilities of a vacation. Because of our activities as sophomores, we claim that we have been foremost in establishing school traditions. j lqzgi In our junior year we began with a new building and still further additions to the class. The building exceeded all expectations and we feel honored that we have been among the first to use it. William Oliver and Clinton Eastwood served as presidents for the year and under better conditions much was accomplished in student body gov- ernment and in athletics. In both lines of activity, juniors took leading parts. As juniors it was our duty to edit the Clan-O-Log, and although larger yearhooks may be produced in this school, the one we put out under Editor Harmon Bell, we believe will serve as a standard of quality. Miss Lane, who helped us make it a success, was one of the many new teachers who came to the school that year. Mr. Johnson, Miss Caverly, Mr. Batdorf, Mr. Moyer, Mr. Bickel, Mr. Ball, and many others who cannot be mentioned for lack of space, were introduced to us this year. In our junior year we also won the carnival cup for the best skit, and our Clan-O- Log won a cup in the California Press Convention at Stanford in May, 1924. T431- As we enter on the living present, we find that at the beginning of our senior year, we have more candidates for graduation than any class has had heretofore. .As seniors we are prominent in every branch of athletics and student affairs. Among the graduates are numbered many of the best athletes. We mention Harry Brock, Porter Evans, Bill Oliver, Bob Chapman, and Dick Kelly as representative of the many stars. Piedmont will also lose by graduation some of her brightest scholars,-namely, Harmon Bell, Ralph Shrader, Alice Quayle, Dick Harvey, Mary Baker and Theron Howard.. During the First semester our class had for its president jack Valentine, he with the dainty feet. But with the opening of the second semester a most prophetic and alarm- ing thing happened. Because of this unusual event, we thoroughly agree with the two Germans who have recently written a book entitled The Dominant Sex, a book in which they assert that before many years women will assume control of all affairs on this old globe of ours. We believe that we have helped to prove the truth of their contention, for in the second semester every office in our class from president to yell leader was occupied by a girl. Did I say every office? There was one exception, it seemed impossible for the fair sex at this early stage of their assumption of authority to elect a girl to the oflice of boys' representative, and Blake Wharton courageously took upon himself this task of defending the rights of the male members of the class. In spite of the trust placed in him, he has frequently been heard to say during meetings in Mr. Jones' office, Us girls' must stick together, so completely has he been under the feminine influence. imgzgi... As the historian cannot see into the future, the events attendant upon the climax of our school life, gnaduation, will have to go unchronicled. If our readers have a desire to look into the events of the more distant future, they have only to turn to page twenty-six of this issue to learn what the Fates have in store for us. It is not too much to say that in view of the record we have made up to our graduation, the future of our class should be one of unending triumphs. Long live the class of 1924! 14 lgg4e4ga.,3--a'-,,eel CLAN O LDL S E N 1 0 R S AGGELER, ALICE JULIA- AL Pres.

It was the occasion of the 2oth anniversary marking the graduation of the class of 1924 from Piedmont High School. Although few of the members of the class were able to be present, the families of those who were gathered together made a sizeable crowd. The scene was the old familiar cafeteria and the calendars in the pockets of the substantial citizens were turned to the year 1944. Former fellow classmates, said Wintford, this evening endeavor to put yourselves back in the dusty atmosphere of the crowded halls and classrooms of Piedmont High School in the year of 1924. Fill your minds with reminiscences for this is a reunion banquet. We are interested tonight especially in the fate of our former friends and comrades, for this reason I will call on members of the class to relate to us whatever information they have gathered in the years gone by concerning our classmates. Before I do this, however, I wish to say that since our graduation Piedmont has been forced to build four new high schools, but our Alma Mater has continued to forge ahead despite this competition under the capable leadership of Frank Brown, the principal. And it should be with a feeling of pride that we gather here tonight to celebrate the an- niversary of our graduation from this school. I will now call on Senator Rioss Brown of California who will speak on the subject of Former Classmates. When Ross faced the class, a calm like the eternal silence of the old assemblies settled down over the cafe, It has been my fortune, narrated Ross, to look up some of the records of the members of the senior class of 1924. Living as I do in the bay region, I have been able to gather the following information concerning members of the class who have remained in this vicinity. As most of you know, Charles Porter Evans has recently been appointed president of the University of California. Margaret Quinn is the wife of the warden at San Quentin. While around the prison she frequently sees Harold Corbin who is serving a long term for talking to the con- ductor on a Piedmont street car. The conductor happened to be Bob Chapman. Marguerite Healy, who is a waitress on one of the ferry boats crossing the bay to Sausalito, frequently runs in to visit her old chum, Margaret. Allen'Dow has just received, the contract for the third junior High School building to be built since the original one was constructed just below this building. George Lavenson is now the head' of the largest department store in the West. Hazel Jochem, now Mrs. John Buell, is leading a life on the ocean wave. Her husband, Captain Buell, is one of the leading mariners on the Pacific. Harriet Kelley and jean Davis are running a florist shop in San Francisco. On a trip over to Contra Costa county the other day I happened to notice jim Elliott, Carsten Schmidt, and Lloyd Ludlow, working in a gang repairing the highway. Gene Sheffield, who is living at his studio, is considered to be one of the best California artists. His most famous work is a painting of himself. Mary Sherman, Alice Green, and Mary Baker are working as clerks in Lavenson's depart- ment store. Lloyd Donant has recently received publicity by starting a goat farm on Goat Island. Marian Martens, Gene Farrell, and Charlotte Palmore are all society leaders in the bay region. Weldon Smith has followed the career of an industrious grave digger and- just at this moment there was an interruption as Harry Brock, who was sitting at the speakers' table, arose and held up his hand for attention. Brock said, Pardon me, Brown, but I think that you have left outsomething very important. You have forgotten to mention me. Fellow graduates of Piedmont High School, recall to your ,L .

Then look at me as I am nowg Harold Brock, known throughout the world of motion pictures as The Handsome Hero. After my graduation from Piedmont High my sense of leadership brought me to the top of the moving picture industry. Piedmont High School may be proud of having educated Harold Brock. Some one persisted in clapping after Chairman Saint had called the meeting to order for the third time. Mr. Saint glanced around and found that the disturbance was caused by Mariella Laidley, who evidently considered Harry's estimation of himself worth while for she refused to stop applauding. She was eventually quieted when jack Sherwin promised to give her a picture of himself as the world's tennis champion, an honor which he had gained in the previous year. Chairman Saint then called on Theron Howard, one of the outstanding successes of the class, who had been appointed to the United States Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. On a recent trip to New York, said Thee, I had the pleasure of meeting the star of the play that broke the record for the longest run in New York, no other than Isabel Thayer playing in 'The Knat.' I also went to 'The Follies' and was interested to see that Helen Hamilton, Judy Stacy, Rosemarie Jeffreys, and Myrtle Kronquest were all appearing, though forced to take character parts on account of their age. Having been extremely interested in Fights ever since my high school days, I also attended the world's heavyweight championship bout between the two 'Jacks,' 'Battling' Valentine, and Jack Dempsey who has held the title for thirty years. In this bout the ancient champion fainted in the First roundg Valentine's speed and shiftiness are also considered as having contributed to his victory. Dick Harvey is acting as jacl-:'s manager. Happening to meet Charlie Crosby, I discovered that he has amassed a fortune in the sporting goods business and now owns the New York Giants. This, Mr. Chairman, will conclude my talk this evening. I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your kind attention. The Chairman arose and this time called upon Alice Quayle, the president of the National Soap Company to relate whatever information she possessed concerning the class. On a recent business trip to Los Angeles, declared Alice, it was my fortune to'come across several of my high school friends. During a meeting of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce I- was pleased to meet the president of this important body, Sumner Evans, one of our famous sporting men in high school. During the meeting I encountered Charles Merrill, editor of the Los Angeles Times, and Raphael Sampson, President of the Los Angeles Garbage Men's Union. Leslie Smith Hutchinson, another of my good friends, I found living happily in Pasadena with her husband, who is in partnership with Fred Bullard in the oil business. I heard during my visit that Edwina Boell has taken the veil and is in a convent in Holly- wood, and Alice Aggeler is the head of a large laundry in the same city. Returning home via aeroplane I felt very safe as Herbert Roemer was my pilot. I did receive avshock when I noticed Stuart Rawlings drift by the plane on one end of a parachute. I later found out that Stuart had become a professional daredevil and was simply experimenting with a new type of life-saving device. Ted Hodapp, the inventor, has gained considerable fame as an authority on the subject of hot air. The rest of the journey was without incident. As Mr. jones used to say after announcing over the Magnavox, 'That's all.' I thank you. , The Chairman again took charge and called this time upon members of the class who were present to tell about themselves. Carolin Stadlinger was the first to speak.

She said Margaret Edwards came home with the honor of holding first place in both events. Wylie Zingel, the next speaker, claimed he had floated across the English Chan- nel. This feat was considered probable by the crowd and Wylie received a big ovation when he seated himself. Walter Johnson raised himself on his crutches to explain that he had fallen off the roof of his farm house in Arizona. He said that he and his sons were niaking a good living raising cactus for the Mexican government. Bill Lowden arose in a dignified manner. Everyone expected something important, for Lowden had recently been elected Mayor of Hayward. He merely said, however, that the class might be interested to know that jim Tyson was holding the office oi justice of the Peace and was proving very efficient. The Chairman interrupted at this time to say that the remaining part of the pro- gram, consisting of moving pictures and radio selections, would be held upstairs. In the auditorium Mr. Saint announced that there would be one or two selections over the radio before the pictures would be shown. He explained that through the courtesy of our friend Albert Paulsmeier, who is head janitor of the largest radio supply house in America, it was possible for the class to listen in. The Magnavox soon started coughing, and a voice was heard saying, I am pleased to present to you this evening a man who will give a short talk on how to turn out a high school yearbook without offending the student body or faculty. I introduce to you, Westley Wetmore, the leading authority on etiquette in the United States. Westley's long tiresome speech was followed by a solo sung by Marjorie Moore, whose golden voice had gained world- wide attention. just at the moment this part of the program was completed, the audi- torium was darkened and the title Interesting Events Throughout the World was flashed on the screen. The first scene showed Senator Florence Pitt in the act of de- livering her New York speech that took the civilized world by storm. The subject was, Why Men Should Be Deprived of Their Vote. Among the celebrities sitting on the speakers' platform with Senator Pitt were two other prominent figures: Dick Kelley, inventor of Women First, the campaign slogan of the Suffragettesg and Ralph Shrader, president of the Suffering Gents, a party that had recently been gaining widespread support of the men. The scene again shifted, this time to Paris to one of the fashionable women's shops. A fashion show was evidently in progress for numerous models were passing before the lens of the camera. Among them was recognized Esther Desmond. Later, as the cam- era was turned around upon the spectators and patrons, we recognized: Elsie Lewis, the noted writer, who is on a tour of Europe gathering material for her next novel: Isa- belle Burrell, one of the most famous of the artist colony in Europe, whose pen and ink portraits are creating a sensation in the ranks of societyg Madame Ruth Lawrence Dupres, who has changed her residence from Piedmont to Paris and who is known to be one of the social leaders of the foreign metropolis. Once again the setting changed, this time to a famous racing resort in England. The great international race was being held and as the camera swept the multitude we were able to pick out certain celebrities from the crowd. Every one in the class was, of course, extremely interested in seeing Florence Davis, who had married, as was known, the Prince of Wales, and since the death of George V and the ascension of the Prince to the throne had become Queen of England. Among the other celebrities attending were Cora Majors Wellington, the wife of England's Prime Minister, Lord Welling- ton, Ruth Richardson, author and playwright, who has been one of the brightest lights in the literary colony of the island empire, George Olmsted, a peanut venderg and rffl i X, il fi P , ri A fi ti FJ rf it s it 'Q ew it lim li la 1 vi fi ii by .J I-Pl l P, 'x V EQ 9 ri X, 1 ,Q Fe wgfffdfffffff V - f he W H w,w+'f1g ?

Another flash on the silver sheet brought back the assembly to the United States and showed a close-up of the world's fastest typist taken during a contest. Dolores Sher- :nan's face appeared before the appreciative audience. When the lights were again turned on, Chairman Saint arose and introduced, as the final and most accomplished speaker, William Letts Oliver, world-wide exponent of the ultimate in men's forms and editor of Vanity Fair. A tremendous applause fol- lowed immediately after the introduction, in fact, before the great William could open his mouth to speak. The applause continued in spite of the efforts of Chairman Saint to bring about order, until finally Officer Harmon Bell of the Piedmont Mounted Police appeared on the scene, forced to leave his regular beat. Officer Bell was successful in quieting the audience to some extent, but not enough for Oliver to speak. Chairman Saint decided that it would be best to conclude the meeting, and advised Mr. Oliver to keep his notes until the next reunion twenty years hence. After the meeting ha.d disbanded, Janitors Howard Brady and Robert Peiser locked the doors after the last straggler had departed, and peace reigned again in the classic halls of Piedmont High School. 9 i ,.l 9.5-1.1 E.-.

The semester last August ' I was opened with the regular election of class officers. This important duty 32 having been performed, attention was turned to inter-class activities. In the Q sale of student body cards the enthusiastic juniors sold the greatest number and E' won a close second place in the Christmas Seal contest. f X ' Then came athletics, fall and spring. The class held first place in athletics W last fall under the able direction of Coach Bickel, and seems to be duplicating its success this spring. The baseball team has won nearly all of the games, g under Capt. Mark McAllister last fall and under Lavern Corbin this spring. The Q volley ball men of this semester were fortunate in having as their leader Norman jg Donant, and the new soccer team had a splendid captain in Merrill Reynolds. if The girls, too, deserve mention for their excellent work in the support of their class athletics. A , :KJ Last fall the junior dance, managed by Howard Beadle, was a great success. Ei - Every one had an enjoyable time in the Armory, including the sophomores and 33 seniors who were invited as guests. fe All things considered, it looks as though the juniors are going to capture E first place in the inter-class contests. Certainly they are working very hard Jig for it. I The class takes this opportunity to thank Miss Lane, Miss Caverly, Mr. f Knox, and Mr. Batdorf for their help and support as faculty advisors. url ,X i 32 5: C2 if V --- - e C71 sbill-xSfel3f,7flsQQQl,TIQ.fl.Il1'l Ysfsfi-f,ll.ff2.f 1 2-4335253113'3A5el36J5OAdIeC-6w32?QflTxC,fe'Q A-f'-, -' T if-1. ful-CAT-5Q,6G5.'j 31 more Class The Sopho 'F'-: CLAN-O-LOG .rfi-, i SOPHOMORES OFFICERS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER President .........................................

Under their guidance their meetings have been conducted in a quiet and business-like manner. Probably the most important event of the fall semester was the sophomore dance held November 7, at which juniors and seniors were guests. Athletics, too, were a success last fall. The basketball team under Alvin Johnson won first place in the inter-class games while the baseball team under Kenneth Robie did almost as well, losing only to the juniors in their last game. This semester's baseball team played with Hobie as captain and Dick Johnson as manager. The soccer and volley ball teams also had a successful season. They were ably captained by Alvin Johnson and Rowan Gaither, while the track men had a very competent leader in Charles Davies. The success of the girls quite equaled that of the boys in all athletics. It has been, altogether, a very successful year and our next year's junior class will be one of which to be proud. The class desires to thank Miss Pickard, Miss Clark, Mr. Moyer, and Mr. Cusicanqui, the advisors, for their ki11d help and encouragement. - V, , v V 1-Y . v- f Vw-yr..

I11 this they did excellent work and made a fine showing. But it was in the Christmas Seal contest that they demon- strated what can be accomplished by an enthusiastic class. Not a seal was returned. V After the election in the spring of another fine staff of officers, attention was again turned to the selling of student body cards, with the same splendid spirit. In athletics the class was headed by Harold Edelen who took charge of baseball. A very successful dance was given in the Armory, on March 53 after an enjoyable afternoon, the party broke up at 5:30. According to the seventh graders the teacherswere very much surprised to see them at school the follow- ing day. 1, N X If this fine record can be maintained all through high school, it will indeed be an exceptional class, and one of which the school can well he proud. Miss Strain, Miss Drury, Mrs. Trueblood, Mr. Cralle, and Mr. Ball, the faculty advisors of the seventh grade, are heartily and sincerely thanked by the class for their help during the school year.

This '15 . . . board IS elected by the students as a whole to be their representative in matters pertaining to the government and to the welfare of the student body. The power of the board is delegated to its members by the principal, who has the power of veto, and who sits with the board in an advisory capacity. The president of the student body is also the president of the board, and pre- sides at all meetings, the vice president and secretary performing the usual func- tions of their offices. Members of the board are nominated by petition, or by the board in power, and are elected by the students during the last three weeks of the school term. Since the student body has taken over the cafeteria, two commissioners fone boy and one girll, are elected each term to be members of the board of control and to direct the cafeteria in behalf of the student body. A commis- sioner of organizations and a commissioner of entertainments are also elected. It is the duty of the former to sponsor and direct the various clubs of the school, while the latter provides adequate and appropriate entertainment for the school, directs the a11nual spring carnival and all dances, and arranges programs for the student body assemblies. The yell-leader is also a member, and it is his duty to be present at all games and to provide rallies. Since the Block P Society has assumed control of the assemblies, the presi- dent of that organization sits with the board during those meetings when the order in the assemblies is discussed. In addition to the above-named officers, the six class presidents are members of the board of control. During the past year the board has had some very difficult problems to solve. Student government is a new thing in Piedmont High School, and only a few precedents have been established, thus much credit is due to the student body officers for the able way in which they have assumed the responsibilities which have arisen from time to time. Two of the problems which the board of the fall semester had to solve were the management of the cafeteria and order in the assemblies. The board which held office during the spring also proved it- self capable of handling student body affairs. They took the reins of office from the fall board and continued the building up of the strong and effective student government established by their predecessors two years ago. The school bond campaign was organized by the board in a manner of which they can well be proud. No little credit is due to the superintendent, Mr. Jones, whose guiding hand is the power behind the whole organization, only those who have had the privilege of being on the board of control can fully realize his untiring efforts. The board of control of Piedmont High School has always been fair and just in the discharge of its duties, it always considers with an open mind both sides of all questions which arise, believing the interests of the majority to be the goal of success. The board of control would be hopelessly stranded if it were not for the excellent co-operation of the faculty and of the students themselves, therefore, the board cannot neglect this opportunity to thank sincerely the faculty for their loyal support, and the students for their willingness to abide by the deci- sions of the board. 41 Boards of Control-Fall and Spring Semesters Tyson Pitt Valentine Quayle Dickie Eastwood Cox Herring Laidley Weeks H.

Under the able leadership of Mr. Ball, it has advanced and de- f- veloped along the true lines of music. New talent has been found and new instruments added, until now this organization has thirty-two members. Aside from the many selections played at The Yuletide Revelsf' the Parent-Teachers, Association, and the Dads, Club, the orchestra has mastered the difficult music of Queen Esther. The mastery of the latter required a great deal of hard work and much time, but the members responded in such a way that they are now able to play this opera i11 almost a professional manner. The orchestra has made itself known by the selections offered at the various entertainments of the year. The pieces rendered have always been from the best music and they have certainly shown the skill which the students have at- tained. iota.- THE GLEE CLUBS The Glee Clubs of the school have developed considerably during the past year. They have offered numerous entertainments during the term, and have contributed a great deal toward the enjoyment of assemblies. Both boys and girls have worked hard to learn the songs which Mr. Ball has given them. Having much more knowledge of music now, they are natu- rally attempting more difficult pieces. It isvneedless to say that much talent has been discovered for operas through the Glee Clubs. Although at the beginning of the term very little interest was shown by the students toward this organization, the Glee Clubs now have forty-three members. 0 'i o i, THE PIPE ORGAN The beautiful concert pipe organ, dedicated on May 27 by a performance of uQueen Esther in which one hundred students took part, was the gift of public-spirited citizens and friends of Piedmont High School. For the development of the musical talent of the entire community, for a truer appreciation and a deeper love of the great masterpieces of music which aid men in living, this pipe organ was installed in Piedmont High School. The credit for the success of the Orchestra and Glee Clubs and for the in- stallation of our pipe organ should be given to Mr. Ball, who is worthy of praise for the splendid work he has done and for the untiring efforts he has put forth in the interests of the Music Department.

W HE Block P Society this year has been organized more strongly than f ever before, owing to its greater usefulness and power in the school. Z The oliicers for the first semester were: Harry Brock, president, and Mark McAllister, secretary. During the second semester the officers were: Harmon Bell, president, Mark McAllister, vice president, and Merrill Reynolds, secretary. Under these officers the letter men of the school have rallied to form a society known for its spirit, loyalty, and integrity. Members who have made their letters since the picture was taken are: D. Bell, F. Brown, Brian, Bullard, Crosby, Grimme, A. Johnson, Rawlings, Sherwin, and Flangus. During the fall term the Board of Control intrusted to this organization and to the English P Society the responsibility of keeping order in the assem- bly and halls during the third period. The system which has been carried out successfully is as follows: the members of these societies are stationed in each side of the center section, a student who creates a disturbance is first warned, if the disturbance is continued, the student is expelled from assembly for a period of two weeks and is compelled to remain in the study hall, for the second offense, the student is sentenced to the study hall for one month and has to appear before the Board of Control, every student must be in study hall or in the auditorium during the assembly period. 46 THE ENGLISH P SOCIETY Top Row: Lewis, Starllinger, zllrs. Wlay, Saint, Desmond. Bottom Row: Lunflgren, Stevenson, Burrell, Sherman, Edwards, Laidicy. Z' HE English P Society was organized in August, l923, by the seven girls who earned their letters through winning 400 points in after-school if athletics. Elsie Lewis was elected president and Hazel ,Iochem secre- tary. The other charter members were Carolin Stadlinger, Ursula Sawyer, Avice Saint, Betty Stevenson, and Margaret Edwards. The girls decided that their organization should act as a standing committee to assist the Dean in carrying out any of her plans for improving social conditions at school. They also agreed to take charge of any activities of the Girls, Athletic Association when the Ex- ecutive committee should so direct. ln the spring semester five new members were admitted: Elizabeth Des- mond, Mary Sherman, Isabelle Burrell, Norma Lundgren, and Mariella Laid- ley. The officers for the spring term were Carolin Stadlinger, president, and Isabelle Burrell, secretary. Besides the regular weekly business sessions the club has held two purely social affairs, one in the fall term being a luncheon given by Carolin Stadlinger at her home in honor of the graduating senior member, Hazel Jochem, and the other in the spring term, a Valentine Day luncheon in the cafeteria in honor of the new members. At this luncheon Miss Haub, dean of' girls, and Miss Mitchell and Mrs. May, girls' physical directors, were also guests of honor. The chief accomplishment of the society in this, its first year, has been fitting up a rest room for the girls. Funds were raised by selling colors before games and novelties at rallies. 'With this money the girls bought and equipped four cots, besides getting screens and curtains. 47 ORGANIZATIONS JUNIOR FRENCH CLUB UBINC the course of the last two terms the Junior French Club has proved itself a hustler. While a meeting IS being conducted, a fine of U one cent is imposed upon any one who speaks English. The money so collected is used to buy prizes for those who win any of the clever French games which they play. The activity of the club is not confined to class work by any means. On the contrary, they have given two delightful plays at the noon hour, one, '4Cinder- ella, and the other, the story of uThe Marseillaisef' Both were acted in French and were presented in such a beautiful manner as to make the school look forward to the two spring plays, '6The Doll Shop and The Dance of the Seasonsf' . The fall and spring presidents were, respectively, Betty Lohse and Kath- leen Hibbard, while Miss Alexander has been the advisor for the club. SPANISH CLUB A ESPANITA, our active group of Spanish stu- dents, has made much progress under the direc- tion of Carmel Rennon, their president for both terms, and Senor Cusicanqui, their ingenious advisor. Senor thought of a novel plan which has been carried out with much success. He suggested that the members take up correspondence with students of the American In- stitute of La Paz, which is situated in Bolivia. This was done and many interesting letters have been sent and received. The club delighted the student body with the Spanish play, uUna Fuente de Grande, which was given in Spanish and was a complete success. NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB IGH among the organizations of the school stands the Natural Science Club, which has for its object the development of the knowledge and if love of natural science. The entire school knows of this club. Did we not enjoy the wonderful il- lustrated lecture on the birds, beasts, and Hsh of California? This lecture was given by Dr. Harold C. Bryant, the Economic Ornithologist of the University of California. Other lectures which were much enjoyed by the club at their meetings were those by Mrs. Kellog and Mr. Hubbard. Mrs. Kellog, one of the foremost sea botanists, gave an illustrated lecture on sea life, while Mr. Hubbard, curator of the Oakland Museum, told of his discoveries of prehistoric man in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The presidents who arranged the interesting programs were Frank Brown for the fall, and George Weir for the spring. Miss Pickard, the advisor, has done much toward making the programs of the club a success. 48 MAGIC CLUB H, HERE you see it. Presto, gone! Now we put yff the little kitty in the inkwell. And see-We have no bananas! Shades of Merlin, where are we? If you enter Mr. Cralleis room some morning during organi- zation period, donit be surprised if you meet some such puzzle as this, for you are in the Magic Club! Another thing, don't stand in any dangerous places lest you by some twist become implicated in a juggling trick, for it might be disastrous to you, you must remem- ber you are in the Magic Club. So far, the members of the club have kept its dark secrets to themselves, but we hope that some day Wilbur Yates, spring president, will lift the lid of Pandora's box and give us an entertaining assembly. It might be noted that the Astronomy Club, under the leadership of Wfilliam Parker, fall president, dis- banded at the end of the first semester to organize later as the Magic Club. MACOP CLUB j' Wg. ATHEMATICS, to the average person, is a dry study, but our Junior Math Club or Macop Club has found many pleasant ways of using the science. Among other things they have discovered that most indoor games and tricks have some direct relation- to mathematics. This lively club of twenty members has given two pleasant luncheons in the cafeteria and one in- teresting play in assembly. Those who are responsible for the success of the last two terms are Roger Hinchman, fall president, Hague Hoffman, spring president, and Mrs. True- blood, their advisor. 1 MOVIE CLUB HIS club, though diminutive i11 size ffor it is limited to three mem- 'M 7 ff . . . .

Vile always welcome anything new and good, so welcome, Ajamistars. This organization is devoted to the study of anything new in sci- fi ence or invention and its activities rotate around such work in the form of speeches and lectures given by members. Mr. Johnson, our history instructor, was the founder of this group, while Curtis Dean served as president.

THALES, Esq., that noble old Greek, has sev- X , , eral faithful followers in Piedmont High who gs., aspire to know of his favorite study, Mathematics. v n n ' X The members form one of the most industrious organl- X zations in the school, and 110 doubt old Thales would be proud to see tllem laboring joyously over problems of mathematics as connected with daily life. All the intricacies of puzzles, problems, and scientific development melt away before their persistent scrutiny. The most interesting of these discussions is probably concerned with the mathe- matics of artillery, a11d mathematical gunnery, which show the method of range finding by use of mathematics. Wie hope that sometime Theodore Stoecke, the president for both terms, with the aid of the gunner's mate, Mr. Bickel, will find our range and Mshoot us with some mathematical entertainment. JUNIOR ART CLUB RT is one of the most satisfactory means of expression that a man has. ZA ,, , s 'fig v ,337 jg The early training which our Junior Art Club gives its members will be trul valuable to them in future life. Y During the last two terms the Art Club has done a thoughtful work, by makinr books of drawings which are sent to the Bah Hos Jital. Surel there 2- Q 1- u , , Y I Y could be no better trait developed than this spirit of beauty and helpfulness. In future years Piedmont will 11ot lack the aesthetic development so neces- sary to every community, if these students follow the path upon which they have started. The president for the fall term was Gordon Langdon, and for the spring term, Jeanne Nebeker. Mr. Knox has been the advisor and inspiration of the club. SENIOR ART CLUB f VERYUNE knows the value of art, the product of man's finer nature. Surely art is a subject which ought not be neglected in a school such as ours. For this reason we have the Senior Art Club, one of the liveliest and most useful organizations in Piedmont High. Wlhenever a visitor entered their meeting, he was always impressed with the earnestness of purpose displayed there. Every week the club was usefully and interestingly enter- tained by such speakers as Mr. Goddard Cale, painter and friend of Ruskin, Tennyson, and Whittier, Mrs. Herring, director of fine arts in Berkeleyg and our own Miss Corde and Mr. Knox. Not all of the entertaining, however, was done by speakers from the out- side, for the students played a large part in their own meetings by giving talks: the development of Javanese Batik by Helen Fites is one example of these stu- dent talks. The presidents of the club for the year were as follows: in the fall term, Thelma Brock, in the spring, Jane Gregory. Mrs. Harding, the advisor of the club, was responsible for much of the success of the year. 50 :owl CI-AN.Q-1.023 A g,gg,,i JUNIOR RADIO CLUB . A ' HIS club is composed of larvae of the well-known uradio bugi' which is ff 'fy 7 0 ff X A common in this country. Wlhen they sprout wings and become equipped WA with an operator's license, they will all migrate, probably, to the Senior Radio Club, and become full-fledged members. Whenever two of these ubugsi' get together, there is a lively discussion, therefore, the weekly meetings are always provided with interesting talks on radio improvements and innovations. Much credit is due to Albert Noteware, the fall president, to Eugene Leon- hart, the diligent spring president, and to Mr. Napier, the advisor of the club. THE O. G. A. CLUB f HIS year the O. C. A. Club has been a junior organization conducted for the most part by senior high school students who were active mem- fh lbl Y T ers o t e c u ast year. Lnder the supervision of Miss Clark, the senior students have planned and carried out a most interesting, instructive, and wide-awake session for the junior members. Both shorthand and typewriting sections were formed, these sections alter- nating each Thursday. Dancing Hngers in time to the new Rational Phono- graph records afforded much joy in the typewriting division, but if there was any preference, the 'gwinged art of shorthand held a greater fascination. In the Fifth Annual California Typewriting Contest, Carolin Stadlinger drew first among the Piedmont entries. Dolores Sherman served as president during the fall semester, and Sumner Evans during the spring semester. WIT AND HUMOR MILE is the slogan of this club,'and why not? During the year, they have delved into the sources of the best '6W'it and Humorf, at times causing the well-known smile to develop into a hearty laugh. Mr. Batdorf, their advisor, helped them a great deal in their research and programs, while Richard Johnson made an able leader. There is nothing more American than a sense of humor and we deeply regret the discon- tinuance of this club for the spring semester. H PRINT CLUB RINTINGI Where would we be without this most important means of communication, pleasure, and enlightenment? Wiithout its influence f we f- we would no doubt still be struggling along in a dark age. Such an important department should not be neglected in Piedmont High, so we have our own print club, one of the most active organizations in the school. Many trips to printing establishments and relative industries have been taken and many more contemplated, and when a term in this club is completed, the members leave with much useful knowledge and a broader conception of the value of printing. We may without hesitation list this among the most valuable clubs of our school. The officers who governed this club were Bob Gowing, fall president, Charles Hadenfeldt, spring president, and Mr. Berger, advisor. 5I If -7 Y iff VT' YYY?

The former Piedmont Dramatic Club has taken their name and has now become .,,, 'GThe Punch and Judy Players. This very diligent and entertaining group has afforded, not only the school, but also the community much pleasure throughout the year. They have given many beautiful plays before the school, one, The Boy Will,', was re- peated before the Piedmont Mothers, Club. This was a story of Shakespeare's early life, Charles Crosby playing the lead very creditably. '4Wurzel- Flummeryi' was repeated before the Dads, Club. In addition to these presenta- tions the three one-act plays were the work of this organization. The officers, Robert Chapman, fall president, Judy Stacy, spring president, and Miss Caverly, advisor, are to be complimented, and we hope to see more of their work in the future. THE HISTORY OF COSTUME CLUB RESENT-DAY costumes with their historical background have always afforded a delightful and fascinating study. Our own History of Costume Club is doing some very interesting work along this line. Miss Corde, who is well qualified for the office of advisor, has taught the club many interesting facts from her well-stocked store of knowledge. Every one will remember with pleasure the fashion review given during the spring term at one of our most interesting assemblies. The officers who did so well in managing this organization were Alice Aggeler, fall term president, and Marjorie Quayle, the spring term president. CURRENT EVENTS NE of the important requirements of the present day is that we keep pace with the advancement made in all branches of our modern . ,,A, . f Though changes have been so rapid as to puzzle the layman's brain, our Current Events Club has enjoyed studying the happenings of the day. In their meetings these members of the Junior High discuss the whys and the wherefores of all the more important discoveries and inventions, giving weekly talks which prove very interesting as well as instructive. In the fall the club was guided by Craig Osmont, while Harry Bell served as president during the spring. Miss Drury, faculty advisor, helped the club in its work during the year. .JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB HE Junior High is not to be outdone by the Senior High in dramatics. Every week during the organization period this club presented a short play which gave training to each member. The apex, however, of their achievement was 6'The Holly Tree Inn taken from Dickens' story, The Holly Tree. This was presented in assembly and was applauded enthusiastically. The capable officers who led this club and who were responsible for its success were as follows: fall term, Virginia Lyon, president, spring term, Wanda Van Dyke, president, Miss Mitchell, advisor. . ,-rg .

There is a creditable object to this club for they lei V1ff are furthering the knowledge of radio. Only licensed members are allowed in this club which has excellent material with which to work, namely, ii-I a three-step cabinet made by DeForest, which can be used either as a radio tele- f phone or as a telegraph set. Their official call is 6KZ. At the present time the yi best distance obtained from the set is 6BCL, Pacific Grove, where the signals FJ were reported to be very strong. ft In the future the radio will probably be used to receive and 'transmit f' news items from other schools for the Piedmont Highlander which would find the instrument a very convenient medium of exchange. fi Mr. Barnett has done much with the help of David Atkins, fall term presi- - dent, and David Wagner, spring term president, to establish the successful reputation of this club. , SHORT STORY CLUB 53 HIS is the day of the short story, which holds more prestige than ever is before in history, and Piedmont is not immune from its power. Here we have a very active Short Story Club whose forty members have 5, arranged weekly programs of original work. These tales were bound in two booklets and sent to the East Bay Children's Hospitals, where it is hoped they M brought joy to the little patients. fp, April 3 was set aside as Nonsense Day, all the best fun obtainable being 5 stored up and exploded in one big laugh. This nonsense out of their system, the l members went on to more serious work. J The club worked hard to contrive a way to surprise their customers at the jfj Highland Fling, and with enthusiasm and spirit succeeded in their purpose. uTo make a long story short, the success of the club was due largely to the Q efforts of ,Iovita Vallejo, the fall president, Katherine Furze, the spring presi- Q1 dent, and Miss Sellander, advisor. QQ FRENCH CLUB 1 HE French Club has had many interesting meetings during the last 1-' year, which have enabled them to improve their French vocabulary to :Cl a great degree. During these meetings the club was conducted by :E Yginifred Brown, fall president, Mary Baker, spring president, and Miss Jobard, jzj a visor. gi MUSIC CLUB il NDER the direction of James Dickie, fall presi- El dent, Marjorie Moore, spring president, and Mr. 5 Ball, advisor, the Music Club has prospered. They have over forty enthusiastic members, all interested :j in and aware of the value of music. They have had many jkj interesting and pleasant meetings, at one of which Miss Eva Garcia, a well-known pianist of the East Bay enter- fi tained the club. Solos by members were also greatly en- joyed by everyone. Q Music, one of the greatest arts which man possesses, has not been slighted .Y in Piedmont High, and every member of this club has learned many facts about jg its origin and development. l27l3f2CfE2lfiZlQ31UllSZ?l5lffX7lQfJfQS7Sf'S1vQ1'f7fff5flfllZ2JQ-Q-d2Q5Zl7Q3fIf3ZxvI'5ZLlQQ3VCl'lTQ'ifS1Ef1iQLL1-HCQZQQ f 53 54 ' G RLS.: 5,-, A .i,.

These numbers, which are a fea- ture in the life of Piedmont High School, are instructive as well as in- it terestin to both students and . ublic. The talent is ver carefull selected, 'I l hg b ' b ' P d Y y fi on y t e est artists emg engage . fi This year there were live concerts in all. At the first concert on October 8, 1923, Clarence Whitehill, the famous American baritone, sang. He gave the Q music lovers of Piedmont an enjoyable evening that will long be remembered. 4, Mr. Wvhitehill has admirers ever where b' reason of his wonderful voice and his 1, .k. 1. y J' w strl 1ng persona lty. 1? On November 3, Josef Lhevinne and Edouard Deru appeared in a joint recital. Josef Lhevinne, a Russian, is a power in the world of music, and is con- , sidered b some an even reater ianist than Paderewski. Deru is one of the y g P s ' n v u 1 jg foremost exponents of the famous Belgian School of 1fl0llI1lStS, and has received '33 honor and distinction in man countries. Toda he is the official violinist to M . . . -. sy . Y their majesties, the lxing and Queen of Belgium. The program rendered by . these two masters won the enthusiastic applause of the audience. gl On December 10, the long anticipated concert by Anna Case took place. Q Miss Case bears the distinction of being one of the first of the singers trained in Q America to attain success. From the standpoint of the students her concert K was probably the most enjoyable. A real treat was enjoyed on the night of 'February 1, when the fourth series 13 of the concert program was presented in the form of a delightful little opera, 'Q Cosi Fan Tutte or the uSchool For Lovers. Headin the cast of this little l 9 n q g c 'E opera was Irene Williams, well-known prima donna soprano. Supporting .Miss 13 Willianns was a company of eminent artists consisting of Ellen Rumsey, Lillian K Palmer, Judson House, Pierre Remington and Leo Hierpolis. 1? The final number on the Artists' Course was the Cherniavsky Trio, pre- Q sented on March 18. The brothers, Leo, Jan, and Mischel Cherniavsky who com- ! pose this famous trio are violinist, pianist, and violoncellist. l ggi . 1 1 1 1 1 55 2 IC 2 1 bi 'vc 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Q t , 1, 1 IS - 1 f 7 A 1. fv1fsUlfNx3E5335Ql5fZQ1LVMYQxSA556AlV31S51Mv5ALXLNfMv5AfMw.34v5fx34x3d14:CAL-'LL-,'l7lf3Z,ZvLAA5ZQlSfQ 55 if f-'A' 1-,gl CLAN-0-L0G .str rt i N THE GIRLS' HIGH JINX HE annual Jinx of the Girls, Athletic Association was a most successful 1 event this year. The Executive Committee with the able help of Mrs. May worked very hard to make this Jinx exceptionally good Each girl was required to he in fancy dress and to wear a mask. The array of costumes was hoth interesting and dazzling, ranging from the satin and lace of colonial days to the sackcloth of Wllopsyf' 0ne's time was fully occupied in just staring at these marvelous creations, hut in addition a program was pro- vided in which more of our clever Piedmont talent was revealed. Although the piano acted extremely ohstinate in not wishing to he played, the grand march was a medley of 'Gpepw and color. The program closed with the presentation of a rather unusual looking Op- timo Cup. All the 'ahoysw in the room were lined up against the wall. The chairman then proceeded to give one of those exciting guess-who talks, a la Mr. Moyer. lmagine the horror of all present when the receiver of the cup was found out to he one of our really truly young gentlemen, a prominent stu- dent. The said young gentleman Hed on the instant, much to the disappoint- ment of the rest who were enjoying his suddenly acquired rosy complexion. Following the program came the usual refreshments, candy canes, dough- nuts, and cider. The cafeteria plan of serving was adopted and proved to be much quicker and better than the method used last year. As to the refresh- ments, the speed with which they were dispatched spoke well for their quality. When the last crumh had heen eaten and the last drop of cider had disap- peared, it was reluctantly conceded to he time to go home. Wiith 'GC-ood-hyel' and '6lVlerry Christmasv everyone departed, feeling that she had thoroughly en- joyed the afternoon. The Jinx, among many other activities, shows what an excellent spirit the Piedmont High School girls have, and that they helieve in heartily supporting whatever enterprise they may undertake. tiff Ly, ri' Y 'f. lTQZ',.ZQT.jTT,'ix'lTLB1 ' 56 UwNVNWWQTW777?'7?

Dur- ing the past year this club has do11e some very helpful and interesting lil I ,VAV work. The oflicers of the organization were as follows: Mary Sherman, president, Isabel Thayer, vice president, ,lane Laidlaw, secretary and treasurer. Each year the Hoan Club sends representatives to a convention where girls meet to discuss problems of great interest. Our representatives for this year were Mary Sherman and Isabel Thayer, Jane Laidlaw attending as a visi- tor. These representatives reported to the girls at a meeting of the club and suggested that a uniform dress be adopted. After discussion, a vote was taken and a uniform consisting of a blue serge middy and skirt was passed on by a large majority. To insure the wearing of the uniform, a girl from each class was elected whose duty it was to see that each girl fulfilled her agreement by wearing the uniform every day. At Christmas time, the Hoan Club spreads a quantity of cheer in many homes, by supplying food and clothing to a large number of needy families. Another thing which the club has done is to welcome the new girls of the school with a reception where they are made to feel at home. DEBATE T is to be regretted that the students of this high school take so little interest in debate, which should be made a major activity at Piedmont. 'QQ Although the remainder of last year's team which won the dual victory over University High School leaves us in June, there ought to be enough in- terest taken in this subject to insure us a good class in the fall, and in time we may be qualified to enter a debating league with other high schools of this re- gion. Piedmont High School has been put, as they say, on the map in ath- letics, ought we not to aspire to a place of honor through participation in an activity which calls for an equally important development? THE HIGHLAND FLING If HE third annual Highland Fling or Carnival of Piedmont High School was given on May 29, and represented a merry day of purple and white. f The twenty-three booths, which were decorated in these colors, were devoted to concessions and to the selling of food. A nickel dance given on the basketball court was a huge success. Different organizations, accompanied by a few selected students, managed the booths. All the classes in the school presented short skits in the auditorium in competition for the vaudeville cup. James Dickie, commissioner of entertainments, managed the carnival. He was assisted by three committees: the decorating committee, consisting of Cath- erine Palmore, Virginia Moldrup, and Doris Martens, the purchasing commit- tee, consisting of William Oliver and John Tyson, and the dance committee, consisting of Clinton Eastwood and Harry Brock. Much of the success of the Highland Fling was due to the support which it received from the students. It was a day of joy and frivolity, when all the students united to have a good time. James Dickie, who worked hard to con- duct the camival in a proper manner, started out to raise the standard of the Highland Fling to a level that would be hard for the next commissioner of en- tertainments to surpass. He succeeded. S S I I I I I I I I I 'W- Y-v-- , H u ng np r, H VL, r.ss,, ,v --- V90 57 i Qi I Q ,:-LV.-7:11:41-,L-..,,,- , E, Q V K 0 A, Y i VA b V --..-.- -,.r--s-.,. if CLAN O -LOU ' i . I ...J OUR CAFETERIA f4 ' NE of the best organizations of our high school is its cafeteria, which is beautifully arranged, well equipped, and very convenient and f inexpensive for the students. Cold sandwiches and the usual make-up of lunches never appeal to anyone, neither does a long trudge home and back again during the short sixty minutes of the noon hour, hence the organization of our cafeteria, a workable way of making wholesome, hot lunches available for the students. The cafeteria, in the beginning, was in the hands of the Board of Education. ln August, 1923, the student body decided to take over the cafeteria and make it a school organization. Une boy and one girl are elected each semester by the student body to act as commissioners and to serve on the Board of Control. It is the duty of these commissioners to oversee the management of the cafeteria, to remedy all complaints, and to see that it is made a pleasant lunch room for the students. Mr. Davidson, an experienced cook, has charge of the preparation of food and the menus. The student body wishes to thank Mr. Davidson and his assist- ants for the splendid work which they have been doing to make the cafeteria a success. There is a feeling among the students that the cafeteria is not a part of the activities of the school. A plan to make the cafeteria a bigger and better success has been suggested. The noon hour could be divided into two sections of twenty-five minutes each, one group to be reciting while the other group is eating. The purpose of this plan would bc three-fold: first, it would take care of the discipline in the halls, making the noon period shorterg second, it would enable school to be dismissed about 2:30, three-quarters of an hour sooner than at present, so that all our games could be started and finished earlier, third, it would also help the finances of the cafeteria, for more students would eat there.

The first set of yell leaders, J ack Herring, Gordon Henrietta, fi and Robert Peiser, presented some very clever entertainment during their term of office. Jazz as well as classical music wasrendered and at one time the yell lf ij! leader himself sang a clever little ditty accompanied by a banjo. The bonfire rally was the largest undertaking of the first set of leaders, the Block P Society and Chet Bekins being instrumental in getting material A for the fire. The Boys' Glee Club, James Dickie, Stanford Moses, and two or- F chestras performed by the light of the huge fire. Jack Herring is deserving of much credit for the success of this rally. Q - With the coming of Charles Merrill into office many new yells were intro- Tj duced that are sure to be standard yells at Piedmont in the years to come. The Siren Yell, the Big Four, and thc Highland Yell were creations of Charles and Q1 his assistants. Several special yell rallies were held during the first part of his ij term so that the new yells could be perfected. ' E The cheer directors of Piedmont High School have tried hard to raise the standard of yelling, they have succeeded i11 advancing the art several steps.

This delightful organization has afforded unbounded pleasure both to V T7 its members and to the numerous people who have witnessed its ex- cellent productions during the past year. The history of the Punch and Judy Players is very limited, as it was only recently introduced into the school by its very capable and well-loved direc- tress, Miss Caverly. It was decided by the members of the Dramatic Club at the beginning of the fall semester, that only those students belonging to one or the other of the drama classes should be allowed to become members. Shortly after the club was organized, and the officers were elected, the constitution was drawn up by a group of its members. Several plays were enjoyed throughout the year by those who were fortu- nate enough to attend the assemblies. 'LThe Exchangen was well interpreted by a few of the players. Frank Taylor as the kind-hearted judge, Herbert Roemer as the Imp, and Judy Stacy as the Vain Wbman were splendid. Harry Brock was a regular poor man, while Jimmy Dickie mastered the role of a rich citizen. 'LThe Noble Lord was well presented by the club, starring Robert Chapman as the Noble Lord and Mary Waugh as the innocent girl. The faithful servant was found in Jimmy Dickie as Peters. Wllhe Far Away Princess was thoroughly appreciated by everyone. Jane Laidlaw played the charming role of the Princess and Harold Corbin graciously handled the part of her distant admirer. The other parts were taken by Grace Chapman, a lady of the court, Gene Farrell and Clare Brophy, the owners of the mountain house, and Alice Green, Helen Fites, and Mary Cox, fond admirers of her Highness. 6'The Boy Will was a play of real historical value, for it gave a brief inci- dent in the life of William Shakespeare. Wlill, the leading figure, was charac- lerized by Charles Crosby. His sweetheart Ann is better known as Jane Lang- don. Florence Davis proved to be a loving mother to Will. Ralph Shrader pleased his listeners as a man of high esteem. The next of the series was a play entitled Wurzel-Flummeryf' in which Harmon Bell was the father and Marjorie Johnson, the mother. Their charm- ing daughter was played by Winifred Brown and her ardent lover, Jack, is better known as William Dliver. The urgent business caller brings to our minds Theron Howard. This play was later presented to the Dads, Club. A Sunny Momingn was the next one to be displayed. The old gentleman was remarkably staged by Robert Chapman. Edwina Boell threw off her youth- ful yoke for that of the old lady. Clinton Eastwood and Mariella Laidley com- pleted the cast in roles as faithful servants. My Ladyis Lacea' was greatly appreciated for its fine work. Phil Steams and Grace Chapman with their Dutchy manners rendered the audience a most enjoyable interpretation. Ross Brown was appropriately chosen as the father and Esther Davidson helped to make the play a success by her appealing role as a nurse. The Florist Shop was indeed splendid. No one could forget Ralph Shrader as proprietor. Phil Stearns, as usual, gave his audience a chance to laugh. Charles Crosby and Marjorie Johnson were highly entertaining with . .. -..H . . , ,, ., ..., , ,... , ., , .,,. .. HW...

Harriet Kelley performed well a part which re- quired a clever characterization. '4The Twelve Pound Lookv was particularly successful in holding the inter- est of the audience. There was a charm about the dignity of Alice Quayle, and a decided courtly air about Frank Taylor. Ruth Richardson played well a part necessitating much versatility. March 28 was the date for the evening of the One-Act Plays, which were chosen, after careful thought and consideration, to be presented to the public by the Punch and Judy Players. The hard work and the patient endur- ance which the participants and the directress possessed, caused the perform- ance to be one of the most successful enterprises ever attempted by the students of Piedmont High School. The plays were distinctly different, each one in its way finer than the others. L'The Shoes that Dancedn was a fanciful French play centered about the times of W'atteau, the noted French artist, during the seventeenth century. The splen- did characterization Hlld the very appropriate settings carried the audience back to those times. Charles Crosby headed the cast with amazing sincerity and forcefulness. Marjorie Curdts thrilled her listeners with her graceful charm. Westley Wetmore and Theron Howard were especially skilled in their roles as young artists. Margaret Gross, in portraying the part of the Queen, was very ex- cellent. Avice Saint made a stately lady, while Dorothea Worden, Mary Waugh, and Ursula Sawyer added much to the colorful atmosphere. The second play of the evening, 'fOp-0-Me-Thumbf, was extremely differ- ent. It was a clever play about a little laundry drudge, the scene being laid in the work shop of Madame Didier, a part remarkably well played by ,lane Laid- law. The badly abused little drudge was in reality Isabel Thayer, whose splen- did work carried her intent listeners from bursts of laughter into sobs of tears. Mary Cox, Grace Chapman, and Helen Fites, pert working girls, managed to keep the audience convulsed with laughter. Jimmy Dickie with his humorous mannerisms struck a note which helped to make the entire interpretation wholly enjoyable. The Rising of the Moonf' a mysterious demonstration in a weird atmos- phere, concluded the program. Harmon Bell was truly splendid in his military role of the Sergeant, and Ralph Shrader distinguished himself in the eyes of all who witnessed his excellent performance. Ross Brown and Lawrence Decker helped in making the play an immense success. Between the plays there was a fascinating entertainment in the form of two puppet shows. These clever acts were without doubt one of the chief charms of the evening. The performance of Ml-lansel and Greteln was presentedbetween Ihe first and second plays. Punch and Judyi' and a clever skit were well demonstrated between the second and third productions. The skillful pup- peteers were Philip Stearns and Marjorie Johnson, who deserve a great deal of credit for their remarkable work. On April 5, at the opening of the Sather Gate Book Shop, the high school was honored by having their famous puppeteers again appear in a performance. Puppet plays were also given at the Jewish Community Center in Oakland, at the Northbrae Community Church in Berke- ley, and at the Lakeview School Annual Carnival. The growth and development of this club has been steadily on the upward climb. The money which has been secured through the productions has en- larged the acquisitions of costumes and properties. Drama has had an uplifting influence by teaching the students a much better appreciation of the good litera- ture in the plays, and by helping them to give a more artistic interpretation. 7731 f.fYf T7.

This will be true of the Senior Plays which are the last illustrations of the skill and dexterity of our renowned upper classmates. It is their in- tention to leave behind, as an everlasting donation, the pleasing memory of their final appearance. The plays are going to be extremely different and distinct, as they take place during senior week, the last week of the school year, only a brief survey can be given now. The first one is a French play entitled, Gringoire. This delightful presentation is anticipated with a great deal of pleasure.

PAGEANT '- 0 add to the many festivities of the year, there is to be established in the school a new custom, which will be a gift of the girls to their mothers. This beautiful idea is to be carried out in an original man- 3 ner, as the annual entertainment for their Mothers' Day. V L The first production of this charming May Fete will be given May 16. The level stretch between the Wlildwood School and the athletic field is to be the setting of the pageant. Bringing in the Mayv is the title of this festival, which was written by Miss Caverly and has been produced elsewhere with great suc- i cess. It is hoped that our first performance will live up to the splendid reputa- tion of the pageant itself. The hillsides all about will be covered with the two hundred and fifty girls of the school, some dancing and others singing as they play on their many in- struments, joining in a merry ensemble to welcome the May.

On the hearth a fire crackled and danced, but outside a cold rain was falling. With his hands to the fire, a boy stood gazing at a portrait of a young girl which hung over the mantel. Suddenly he spoke, addressing a little old lady who sat in a rocking-chair near him. 6'Grandmother' whois that girl? Is that your picture?,' He nodded to- ward the painting. His grandmother smiled. Ulf you will sit down on that stool, I will tell you a story. It seemed as if she had not heard his question. The boy seated himself with his eyes fixed on the face of the girl in the portrait, and the old lady began her story. Little by little the girl over the mantel faded away, and in the frame the following scenes appeared. It was late afternoon and long shadows were beginning to fall. Overhead, the sky was that curious shade of blue that is seen only when the sun is sink- ing. A small brook-Sleepy Brook by name-ran babbling, then rushing through a meadow of brightest green. Flowers bloomed everywhere, especially on the banks of this small waterway. The air was heavy with the mingled perfumes of magnolias and jessamines. Under a large tree was nestled a small farm-building, old, but well cared-for, with a slanting red roof patched here and there by uncolored shingles that gave the whole roof a singularly speckled appearance. Although the house was unpretentious, it fitted into the Tennessee landscape as naturally as if Mother Nature had put it there herself. This was the spring of 1862, almost a year since the first shot had been fired on Fort Sumter. Patriotism still ran high, and the rally to the colors showed the undying love of country. From the most obscure places came the bronzed, healthy sons of America, some to fight for the Union, others for the Confederacy. Apparently the small homestead on Sleepy .Brook had not heard the call of war, so quiet did it seem on this spring afternoon. Sitting near the open doorway just inside the house was a middle-aged man, with the first streak of grey beginning to show through the waves of his dark hair. His face, tanned by wind and sun, had a ruddy, healthy glow, but the straightforward blue eyes held a pained and troubled look, and the determined mouth was set firm. Suddenly he arose and strode out to the front porch, there he paused a minute, then hurried down to the roadway where he stopped again, as if listening. On the evening air came the faint sound of traniping feet. Louder, louder, louder grew the tread, until around a turn in the road came column after column of boys in blue. Part of General Buell's army, under command of Lew Wallace, was marching from Nashville to Pittsburg Landing to join General Grant. On they came with long, swinging strides, and when their leaders were abreast of the waiting man, they halted at the given command. General Wallace dis- mounted from his shiny, black charger and slowly approached the man. 'GSir, what colors do you fly?7' The General put the question curtly. The middle-aged man straightened. The Union, sir--alwaysf, 73 CLAN-O--LOG CL AN-O-1-,OG The arm of Wallace shot out to clasp the hand which the man held out reluctantly, and a smile came into the eyes of the soldier. Then the smile faded. But why, sir, have you not enlisted before? The general let the rough hand drop. The man hesitated and the blue eyes looked appealingly into the face of the soldier. 44Well, it's this way. When my wife died last year, she made me promise I'd keep ,lo near me always. I couldn't take the child to war so I just stayed at home and took care of the place. The rough hand indicated the farmland. , f'I'Ium-m-mf, General Wallace studied the man. Maybe you,re lying and maybe you're not, but I think you'd better come with us. Get the lad and come along. A sort of frightened look came into the face of the father, but he did not speak. Instead he turned and hurried up the path to the house. A few minutes passed and the man appeared again, this time followed by a slender, boyish figure. The determined set of the head and the erect carriage of the little figure made many of the waiting soldiers turn in admiration. The delicate, smooth complexion was shaded by a battered straw hat that was pulled down over the dark curls, a trifle longer than the fashion worn by the boys of that time. The eyes, which were blue like the father's, had that same straight- forward look. Over one slender shoulder was slung a drum, and under one brown arm was a canvas bag. The homespun overalls were picturesque, though shabby, and on the small feet were grotesque sandals. Thus Carlton a11d ,lo Carter enlisted. At the command, down the long, dusty road marched the army, leaving the small homestead alone to await the return of its owner. The boy on the stool beside the fire eagerly watched the changing scenes of the Battle of Pittsburg Landing. At one time he saw the flag falter and almost fall, but it was quickly seized by another and carried on. The brave act thrilled him to his boyish soul, and he listened anxiously as his grand- mother went on with her story. The battle of Pittsburg Landing was over, and Grant's Army was victorious. Carlton and ,Io Carter were standing together recounting the adventures of the day. To them it had been filled with excitement-horrible excitement. An aide-de-camp approached and saluted. General Grant wishes to see Carlton and Jo Carter in his tent immedi- atelyf' The father gave his companion a look of half fearful surprise, and to- gether they turned and followed the soldier. The flap in the tent before which they halted was drawn back, and General U. S. Grant stepped out. He was short of stature and the faded blue uniform was very shabby. His beard covered the lower part of his face, and his two steely-blue eyes fairly danced. I11 his mouth was the inevitable cigar. '6So this is the drummer boy?', He smiled as he spoke. uWhy, sir,', the general addressed the father, uwhat a wonderful boy he is! A finer piece of bravery, such as he showed in yesterdayis battle, I never saw. The first thing I saw was our Hag-bearer ahead of everyone. I saw him stumble and fall, wounded, but before Old Glory could touch the ground, this lad leaped out, snatched the flag and carried it on until he could give it to some one else. Heis a lad to be proud of, Carter. .f l5axAAaAAzic4iiaaaLA.QZx:.s43gc.s.m:m25JQ5Z.ss2ixsfg.EEu'g'4-.-'.u0 71 EWVWAWVTAWAVVWWKATTAN'ff'Y?'ff?'i7t?'T'V?i I C L A N - O ,. L O G , Z .-Trl 5732?

Is he? The general turned quickly and addressed the father. Carlton paused and looked very serious, while Jo was plainly frightened. The general looked from one to the other. Finally Carlton spoke, hesitatingly. Jo is a girl, Jo for Joan, sir. The father then unfolded his pitiful little ' story to Grant, who had a big heart and understood the father's problem. When , the story of the promise was told, Grant placed his hand on Carlton's shoulder l and spoke again. 1 I wouldlhave done the same thing, Carlton Carter.

And is that a portrait of you, Grandmother? He questioned further. The old lady nodded. 1 1 - 2+- 4 1 1 . E .

He was later than usual ' and a little annoyed. Any variation from the daily routine was lm- f' if- pleasantly upsetting, and from time to time he glanced nervously at the watch before him. It was a magnificent watch, solid and respectable, with great hands that moved reluctantly as though to hold back the flying hours. Good reason had the owner to be proud of such a possession. But the time allowed for no meditation, and with a hasty farewell the good man hurried forth to the affairs of the day. It was a clear spring morning and half of Paris was about its leisurely business. But in the mind of M. Potard was but one thought-to reach the office on time,-and he marched bravely on without stopping as was his wont to argue with M. Le Brun, who discussed politics at the door of his shop while his wife waited on customers within. Neither did he pause to quarrel with the umarchandei' over the price of cherries, but at the Seine, habit regained her foothold and the worthy man soon found himself among the interested spectators on the bridge, predicting an early Hood. The discussion concluded to the satisfaction of all, M. Potard again hark- ened to the call of duty, and reached hurriedly for his watch, but it was gone! Gone! Such a look of dismay passed over his face that a stranger saw and ad- vanced solicitously. 'GWhat is it, neighbor, can I help you? Oh, it is nothing, in a tone of great relief. 'QI thought for a moment that my watch was lost, but I remember now that it is home on the table. It is very valuable, and has been in the Potard family for years. Perhaps, then, you had better go back and get it. Oh, no, for I am already late, and I live too far from here-on the rue des Saints Peres. Good-day, Monsieur, and thank you. Just the same I wish I had it. In the meanwhile affairs on the rue des Saints Peres were somewhat upset. Madame Potard was angry, very angry--an unusual thing in so kindly a person, -and before her stood the tearful Francoise, the cause of the morning's lack of harmony. Stupid, worse than stupid blockhead that you are! VUhat have you done that there is no meat in this house for dinner? Now there will be nothing left in the market but what has been discarded for the dogs and beggars! What will my husband do when he returns? What will the neighbors say? That I am lazy and shiftless, and do not even buy my meat until tl1e market has been cleared! Is it that that you wish? And now there is the bell, and you stand here weeping. Hurry to the door-to the door, fool!,' A moment later the stricken Francoise returned, a changed being. 6'Madame, Madame,-wah, I knew the good Saints would preserve me! There is a man at the door with a great fat goose for us. A visitation from heaven! A goose! The good dame Potard hastened to the door, her face alight with curiosity. There indeed stood the man, and with him the goose. f'l'LQLi3fi .., A f Tiff T7 lE'TLS.1Q ,-ILT.f,4ElQf2lEZSQo.l ZfQiS5'?LIZL,'-13.4 75 kj N , .

Also he wishes his watch which was left on the tablef, Having thus discharged a duty and taken the treasured timepiece, he part- ed, leaving peace once more re-established. T 0.9-.M It was certainly good to come home after a day's work, and M. Potard smiled his satisfaction with the world as he reached the door. But what is this? There before him stood Francoise in a new apron, and his wife in her best dress, while from the kitchen came the savory smell of roasting goose. There was silence. Then: 'aWell, and where is your friend. My friend? Of what friend are you speaking?', Why, the one for whom the goose was sent, of course. 'The goose?,' Mme. Potard gazed searchingly at the face of her spouse, but there was nothing in its frank bewilderment that remotely suggested a practical joke, and suddenly a terrible suspicion crept into her heart. 4'Then it was not you who sent for the watch this morning? My watch? Ah, mon Dieu, no. I left it on the table. But what-? Once more confusion reigned in the quiet household. M. Potard, having been duly informed of what had occurred, rushed out for the police, while Madame hurried from room to room, opening drawers and peering under chairs, as though fearing that the robber, gifted with Black Magic as well as nimble fingers, might have concealed himself therein. The emotional Francoise, mean- while, had dissolved into tears and wailed loudly for saintly protection. But on the return of M. Potard with the news that the police were already on the trail of the culprit, the scene again became tranquil, and dinner was served in comparative peace. It was a delicious meal, and the goose so appetizing that what was not eaten in the dining room was finished in the kitchen by Francoise. But apparently this was not to be the end, for there came a loud knock on the door, and before the astonished Potard appeared the kindly face of the stranger of the morning, closely escorted by two gendarmes. Monsieur, we have recovered your watch, and here is the criminal who stole it. He is a very cunning fellow, and were it not for the clevetrness of the police, he would never have been found. Yes, there was the watch, big and bright as ever, and twice as respectable. The two good people wept, embraced, and wept again for joy. But what was this? 4'And also, went on the unmoved voice of the law, I must request the return of a big- goose that was brought here by the culprit. That, too, was stolen. Monsieur Potard sank gently back into his chair. 0 -l-ii .-o.o- ?--1-.1 THE BREAKING DAY By Fred Matthews Oier the hills the soft gleams break, And all the sleeping birds awake.

In the course of my somewhat meager perambulations throughout this mundane sphere I have become convinced of the veracity of iii this statement. Consider the unlimited field of invention. Is this not if largely made up of imagination? Reflect upon the achievements of imagination 5 jf in the field of art and beauty, in the world of literature, and in the realms ij? of music. Think of the ever present optimist, who, in the hour of direst peril, j- declares that all will be well, and who is sure that the wily motor-cop pursueth i someone else when the speedometer clearly reads sixty or more. Furthermore, dear reader, consider the pleasantries which an imagination ' can evolve. What bliss it is to sit hy the hour and watch the myriad-towered 1, castles mount skyward in the rosy glow of ambition's brightest sung or per- il haps you see the full white sails of a golden galley as it forges its way through lil a sapphire sea to the land of dreams that are fulfilled and of goals that are V21 attained. Such is life, and but for these bright moments, these products of our imagination, how dreary it would be! Imagine the poor unfortunate being who has been created without the power to imagine, and whose unromantic if soul sees not the beauty and glamour of dreams. HZ I But sometimes the lot of this unfortunate is preferred by those whom Q cruel Fate has disappointed. Vfhen the white-sailed galley strikes a hidden H11 3' rock and is lost, bringing to an end their brilliant dreams for the future, 'then l do they wish to be as that other one. Elly ' Cease! This groweth tiresome. Let us think of things more pleasant. Let us think of the joys of imagination. Do you not at times see yourself, a brilliant 'Ei orator, addressing an enormous gathering with tongue of silver and in words ,Q melodious to hear, when you know full well that even to talk before your RQ class fills you with terror? Perhaps you see yourself, a veritable dub at foot- Q hall, racing down the field with the entire opposing team at your heels. Only Q one man remains between you and the coveted goal. Closer and closer you come to him. He dives for your feet. You gracefully swerve and he misses while . you dart across the goal line, a hero! y Such are dreams. Everyone has them and everyone revels in them. The . small boy, perhaps, is the most fortunate in this happy pastime. His event- Zi ful life is crowded with one dream after another. Today he fights the ferocious X' Redskin on the dry, arid plains of Arizona, tomorrow he inflicts terrific punish- . X ment on his cruel schoolmaster, or outstrips all rivals for the hand of the fair maiden. Always the deeds are heroic and always the dreamer is the hero. Perhaps the events are a trifle incongruous, perhaps the time sequence is a ji little warped, but what does he care? The events are there and the dreamer is the hero, that is all the boy wants. The want being supplied, he cares not for the rest of the tale. These desires, by the way, are not peculiar to the small boy. Grown-ups are prone to trample their hated rivals in the dust, much the same as the school i boy would. Their ideas are not so elaborate nor quite so gory as those of the ji? school boy, but the basic principle of the dream is the same. After all, man is ' but a grown-up boy. His thoughts and desires are slightly modified, but beneath it all both old and young are very similar.

Much time is spent in fashioning idealistic beings, who, we hope, some day will be ourselves. Veri- table paragons of worldly wisdom are these imaginary persons, these composites of all our most famous men. In short, everything we consider great and good is brought together in tl1e fantasy of our dreams. What a wonderful world this would be if imagination were its king! How many of us would be nobles? What marvelous deeds of heroism would daily be accomplished? What would be the inventions influencing our lives? Unanswerable questions all. The minds of men may never reveal these secrets stored within them. Great might be the race of Adam if those secrets were dis- closed. -l-4-in-. -ogg-Y--1 THE CHARGE OF OUR NOBLE ELEVEN fWith apologies to Lord Tennysonj By Isabelle Burrell IV Half a yard, half a yard, Half a yard onward, On toward the Centerville side Fought our Eleven.

Wvithout missing an I fi, iff' issue a twenty-eight page edition filled with interesting, amusing, and instructive material was published as a Christmas Edition for 1923. An artistic arrangement was accomplished by dividing the paper into four major depart- ments: school news, four pages, municipal news, eight pages, sporting news, four pages, and feature, eight pages. The advertisements, as well as the written matter, were well classified. Originality and art were also displayed in the four- page cover folder. From a mechanical point of view the edition was likewise successful. The make-up and printing were done well in the shop of the school, with very few bitches, and the sales were well handled by the economics class. The circula- tion of the paper, 3600 copies, in comparison with the enrollment of the school, and with the population of the city of Piedmont, particularly proved the success of the ambition of the staff, that of making the paper a municipal, as well as a school publication. - Spring Semester A gusty sigh of relief was breathed by the Highlander staff when the slack 11ews season of February and March had passed. The Piedmont Highlander is said to be like a giant furnace. No sooner is a great quantity of fuel shoveled in, than it is swallowed whole and more is demanded. The staff of the spring Highlander, more in a spirit of loyalty than of com- petition, published on March 28 a sixteen-page paper for the purpose of boost- ing the city bond election. The edition was the product of an infinite amount of work on the part of the staff, Mr. Gantz, Mr. Berger, and the boys in the print- ing department. During the week preceding its appearance many interested students labored until midnight in the print shop. Starvation stared several in the face, the ceiling tumbled about, but the work in the noble cause continued. Never before was such a large edition published on such short notice. A copy of the final product was distributed to every home in Piedmont. Three other special numbers of the Highlander were produced by this in- dustrious group: the May Day number, the Highland Fling number, and the Commencement number. Early in May several of the Highlander staff, accompanied by Mr. Gantz and a few others, attended a press convention at Stanford University. As a result many new ideas will be used by the Highlander in the future. It is hoped that the Stanford Press Convention will be an annual event. . - f ' Q 1 mm?

IC ,C 'Ei I I I I I 1 I W 1 41 I 1 It . :S ,C I I I I 1 believes in the practical which will broaden the mind of the student and be an asset to him in later life. 'Students not preparing for special courses requiring the subjectsf, says Mr. Jones, ushould not use up their mental energy studying Latin, Greek, or mathematics. His course in senior vocational guidance is only one of the many evidences of his soundness of belief in the practical education. Mr. Jones' hobby is student government. As faculty advisor of the Board of Control, he has made that body one of real importance. ' He has given the gov- ernment of the school to the student body gradually so that each addition can be carefully perfected before another one is introduced. Undoubtedly, at some time in the future the extra-curricular activities of the school will be conducted almost entirely by the students. ' ' Mr. Jones takes an active interest in every student body enterprise, giving those of an aesthetic nature just as much consideration as those of an athletic nature. At every possible chance he is either rooting for the team, arranging such things as the Artists' Course, or planning an instructive or entertaining assembly for the school. W'henever a student has a new plan or idea, our prin- cipal is willing to hear it, especially if it pertains to the various school organ- ization or to one of the publications. The two latter activities are of especial interest to Mr. J ones. f - V The greatest achievement of Mr. Jones this year was registered in the bond election. According to business men bond elections at the time were not popular with the voters, our superintendent, however, assumed the leadership in the organization of the campaign without hesitation. Under his direction the forces of the school were enlisted, a special edition of the Highlander published, and much enthusiasm stirred up. When the election returns were counted, it was found' that every bond had carried, the bond for the completion of the Junior High School building receiving a seven to one majority. For the sake of Piedmont High School may Mr. Jones long be with us. COMMENCEMENT DAY I EVENTY-THREE worthy students of Piedmont High School have V reached their first milestone in the great race we call life. After four f- f iii? years of alternating vicissitudes of hardships and success, they are ready to be received in the ever-increasing ranks of our alumni. An extremely delightful program has been arranged for Commencement. The musical part of the program alone will be of great interest to everyone. At this time of writing, a speaker for the evening has not yet been chosen. Pied- mont takes great pride in its seniors, everyone should be there to see them re- ceive that great honor which they so richly deserve. :7f5vv-V-VZQV' Q .v3fZ4Sf. ?,V.JlJfI-75?LZiFlEfl35flf5HQQSlx2'34'S.9ilf'5r5QY.'B!xv5QK!5-513556-A-isLAJQVCL-fLZ'QVLf-Zlffiflg7.yf?lQI'Q'QV 37 fWEY SUCCESSES . -HAT last year's Clan-O-Log and the Piedmont Highlander are splendid .fi publications every student and member of the faculty knew, but, until May 3, 1924, little dreamed that they would be proclaimed respect- tively the finest high school annual in the state, and the finest paper in any high school in the state with less than one thousand students. The decision came as a complete surprise, so much so that it is doubted yet whether the editors fully realize the glory which they have brought to Piedmont High School. This is not the whole story, however, because the advertising in the Highlander was likewise regarded by the officials of the Stanford Press Convention as the best in the state. For the latter distinction we have a certificate of honor from the con- vention. The Clan-O-Log staff of 1924, in behalf of the associated students, takes this opportunity to express the gratitude of the student body toward those who made it possible for Piedmont High School to win its first state championships and cups: Harmon Bell, editor, and William Oliver, business manager of the Clan- 0-Log, in co-operation with the staff g Margaret lV1acPrang, editor, and William Elliott, business manager of the Highlander, supported by a group of students. May there be others like them in the school. ..-.lq',...l1.- . ... THE COVER DESIGN HE suggestion offered by the staff of the 1923 Clan-O-Log to make their cover design a standard feature of the Clan-O-Log is an excellent one, having for its chief advantages, economy and ease of recognition. The reason for not following the suggestion this year was that the design could not be successfully adapted to the other art work in the book. The greatest dis- advantage of a standard cover is the one mentioned, that the design will not always harmonize with the varying plans of the book from year to year. But if the future editors desire to use the design employed on this issue, they have the privilege of doing so. Q -1- -1..--o.o..-?--- IN GRATITUDE TO MR. JORGENSEN ,,, LL those who have had the privilege of visiting Piedmont High School are impressed with the beauty of its lobby. But, until last spring, -7? one thing was needed to complete the room, a bare space was con spicuous on the wall' just opposite one of the chief factors in the beauty of the room, a fireplace, which for its design is noted in the circles of art throughout the state. Now that space is covered by a magnificent painting of the Yosemite Valley. The painting is a work of art, and with its massive frame completely harmonizes with the general artistic atmosphere. To Mr. Jorgensen, who donated this masterpiece, the associated students express their deepest gratitude, for a painting of this nature is a daily inspiration to everyone in the school. - - .M!MUMMMMv3J9LLWANN NQJMAb -- - 88 CLAN-o-LOG THE CLAN-O-LOG PUBLICATION ' f no one or two persons can be versatile enou h to put out an annual un- HE publication of a high school yearbook is not an individual task, for Q 1- assisted. In truth, the degree of success of a book depends largely upon the amount of co-operation received from the school in general. It is by reason of the excellent co-operation given by the various departments of the school this year, that Piedmont High School is able to boast of the fact that everything con- nected with the publication of this yearbook except the photography and engraving has been done in the school. To those who have taken part in the publishing of this issue the staff expresses its sincere appreciation. Miss Martha G. Lane, who came to Piedmont High School two years ago, and who is the faculty advisor for the Clan-O-Log, demonstrated her worth when last year's annual took the state prize. Miss Lane is so much to the Clan-O-Log that if she ever leaves Piedmont High School, which we hopc she never will, it will be necessary to change the name of the book, because she has a certain personal quality that gives a yearbook the distinction of standing out far above the common variety in value and thoroughness of content. Next to Miss Lane in importance is Mr. Berger, printer of the Clan-0-Log and a member of the faculty. It is in the print shop under the direction of Mr. Berger that the Clan-0-Log receives its high finish. The effort and pains taken by Mr. Berger cannot be too greatly appreciated. One of the boys in Mr. Bergeris shop, Robert Hotle, is deserving of special credit for the many hours he has spent working on this book. The suggestions of Mrs. Goldie Powell Harding for the art work in this annual are invaluable. She is responsible for the cover design, the frontis- piece, and the inserts, all of which were done by her students. Miss Edith E. Clark has rendered a great service by attending to all the typewriting. The patience of the English teachers in the literary contest for this issue is appreciat- ed, for without their help it would be next to impossible to have a literary section. The willingness of the faculty and the co-operation of the office through Miss Haub and Miss DeVelbiss in allowing the disturbing of classes when it was necessary to take pictures, is highly esteemed. The excellent service rendered by Mr. E. B. DeGolia, Jr. of the American Art and Engraving Company and by Mrs. Mott of the Hartsook Photographers has been an asset in publishing this book, and we thank them sincerely for their help. The staff itself and the special writers have performed their duties splendidly. From the above paragraph the truth of the statement that the publication of a high school annual is not an individual task becomes apparent. . A LIBRARY NE of the greatest accomplishments in Piedmont High School during the past year was the movement on the part of the Parent-Teachers' '- - Association toward making a school library possible. Now that the movement is started and the 'time is opportune, why not have a real library? The city' of Piedmont has no library of its own. The space provided in Piedmont High School is too small for a complete or properly s7VXfVJVQALN7QNLNA--, 1-.-,,, 89 CLAN-O-LQG lg, vvvvvf managed library. Every high school and city, especially Piedmont, should have a good reference room and library, on account of the requirement of term reports which necessitate much research. Please give this a little thought. Why not have a room provided in the new Junior High School building large enough for a library with a trained librarian so that it may be conducted on a basis that will make it of equal value both to the citizens and to the students of Piedmont? ,ga - AN HONOR SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY 'i i HERE is in the State of California an institution known as The Honor Scholarship Society. Many of the more prominent high schools in the A 51 V.' state have organized chapters of this society. The object of this honor society is to give the students an incentive to do honor work. A student, to obtain membership in The Honor Scholarship Society, must receive a certain number of points in school activities as well as in scholarship during each quarter of the school year. These points are figured from the studentis grades, three points usually being given for a one in a solid subject and one point for a two in a solid subject. Offices such as student body president, or positions such as captain of an athletic team receive two points. The requirement of a total of ten points necessitates, generally, one's in three solid subjects. Students maintaining membership in the society every quarter during the school year, receive a state certificate of honorg and students main- taining membership thrce-fourths of their high school life have'the seal of honor of the State of California stamped on their diploma. This seal is recog- nized by all universities. Piedmont High School is proud of its scholarship. Why does not Pied- mont High School establish a chapter of the Honor Scholarship Society of the State of California? , H .JT . .... 1 .. ss H... ss.-riff: T.

All through the season there were three teams out to the nightly scrim- mages, so our Coach had no trouble because of lack of material. The first team selected by Mr. Moyer was given good opposition by the second and third teams, and all the players were given a chance to show what they could do. Piedmont's team finished the season with four victories, two defeats, and one tie. Captain Oliver and Clinton Eastwood were the stars in the backfield and both of them gave the rooters many a thrill with long end runs. Piedmontis aerial attack was very strong, because of the passing ability of Clint Eastwood and the receiving powers of Harry Brock. Brock made a gain of sixteen yards nearly every time he handled the ball. The only game in which Piedmont was outclassed was the Berkeley game. Although they met defeat in the Alameda game, the defeat was due mainly to the length of the season and to overtraining for the Berkeley game. The prospects for next season are very bright, indeed, as Mr. Moyer has a good number of letter men to form a nucleus for his 1924 team. 'gThe 1923 football team came up to my expectations and was by far the best team that the school has ever had. The team played a good defensive game, and had a well-balanced offensive to attack an opponent at any weak point. The only reason that Berkeley defeated us was that their players were our superiors physically, they were not better nor smarter football players. A school as small as Piedmont naturally lacks good substitutes, and this was our real weakness. I am hoping that next fall enough boys will be out with the Piedmont spirit to overcome this handicap. Every boy, therefore, should be prepared, next August, to go at top speed for a strenuous yearf, SAM L. MOYER, Coach.

'Smashing line bucks netted the Purple and White two touch- downs and threatened two more, but Tech's defense stiffened and prevented more scoring. Since Tech won the O. A. L. championship, Piedmont can right- fully claim that title too. MCCLYMONDS GAME The McClymonds-Piedmont game ceased to be a close contest when Clinton Eastwood ran fifty yards to a touchdown on Piedmont's first offensive play from a fake punt formation. The Highlanders piled up a score of twenty-five points during the fray and held their opponents scoreless throughout. UNIVERSITY GAME A Piedmont fumble recovered by a University end netted six points for the Blue and Gold team just at the moment when the Highlanders were on the march to a touchdown. This break dampened the spirit of the team and they were unable to score but the U. N. I. team was held to a 6-6 score. CEN TERVILLE GAME A In the past, Centerville has been a stumbling block in the way of Pied- mont's football hopes, but this year saw the Purple and White crash through the ranks of the haughty Orange and Black to a 24-7 victory. The Highlanders showed wonderful passing ability, completing fourteen passes out of eighteen chances for a gain of many yards. Captain Oliver was the outstanding star, as he made three out of the four touchdowns for Piedmont. HAYWARD GAME The Purple and White in the first C. I. F. game came out victorious by a I0-6 score against the Hayward Bulldogs in a game that was hard fought thruout. Up until the end of the third quarter Hayward used but three line plays, being forced to kick every time they obtained the ball. In the fourth quarter, while most of the Piedmont second team was in, the Orange and Black managed to drive thru for a lone score. The Purple and White came back NWVVMm QLAL!MVMQ ANMNAA - - - I I I I 3: 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 93 I , ,- as . . i A a 0 - l.L:'.:::.::::.41'-R':4zL:i,:.f,::::1:::.l!i 'LU Ll A -4 fw., 'r'--'-- -:,'Tg1M1:i':g...

BERKELEY GAME In the Berkeley-Piedmont contest, the Highlanders were outclassed for the first and only time during the season, and the Piedmont team suffered a 20-7 defeat. The contest started with a long punting duel between Clymer and Corbin, Clymer of Berkeley gaining noticeably on the exchanges. Several com- pleted passes by Berkeley netted a touchdown, but the Red Shirts were unable to gain on line bucks because of the excellent tackling of Lavern Corbin, who repeatedly broke through the line. Although defeated, Piedmont scored on Berkeley for the first time in the football history of the two schools. ALAMEDA GAME Piedmont's inability to prevent Alameda from returning punts coupled with poor defense around the ends cost the Highlanders the last game of the season by a 13-9 score. The team was stale from the training for the Berke- ley game but scored a touchdown and blocked a punt for a safety for nine points. A passing attack carried the ball to Alameda's six-yard line in the last minute of play, but the gun prevented scoring the six points that would have meant victory for the Purple and Wfhite.

Throughout the season Bill was known for his tight and skill in leading his team from the quarterback position XfVhen yards were needed, Huskey could always be depended upon to get them. liill was the winner of the Optizuo Cup. CLINTON EASTXNOOD, Fullback. Clinton, a veteran of two years and Cap- tain-elect for next year, was the Iron Man of the team. He led the team in gaining yardage and could always be depended upon to back up the line. MERRILL REYNOLDS, Halfback. In Squat, Piedmont has a hard-hitting halfback who will be with us for two more seasons. Although he is the small- est man on the team, he is a good tackler and blocker and is to be depended on for next year's backfield. IACK VALENTINE, Tackle. jack, who played Sub on last year's team, played regular tackle this year. He played a strong game all season and was noted for blocking punts because of his great height. COACH MOYER. Our Coach, with efforts as untiring as those of the play- ers, spent many an afternoon perfecting his football team, and to him goes the real laurels for I'iedmont's successful football season as well as the credit for the fine type of manhood which athletics have developed in Piedmont. Team In Action 96 FOOTBALL -4:0-. BILL LOWDEN, End. Although Bill was not as flashy an end as Brock, he was always right there under punts and passes. Both end positions will be left open for Mr. Moyer to fill next season. HARMON BELL, Tackle. Among the substitutes for the line, Harmon was considered to be about the best bet and he was in action in a majority of the games. Unfortunately he will not be here next season as he graduates. THERON HOVVARD, Center. When Corbin was injured in the Berkeley game, Theel' Howard showed that he could play football when he was substi- tuted at center. He was also a sub on the 1922 squad. TED HODAPP, Tackle. The Red- head of the team, who was one of the mainstays of the line, was always full of fight and right down under every punt. Ted will be missed from the team next year both for his playing and for his pleasing personality. HAROLD CORBIN, Halfback. Har- old played a dependable game at halfa back all season and did the brunt of the punting. He was an excellent safety man and will be hard to replace next season. PHIL RAY, Halfback. Although Phil played the majority of the games on the line, he was shifted to half when Harold Corbin was injured. He played safety man in the Alameda game. On The Gridiron 98 FOOTBALL GILBERT VVEEKS, Guard. Very few yards were made through Gil at guard, and he was also very strong on the of-- fensive. He will be one of the mainstays of our line next season. GARTH PATTERSON, Guard. Garth, the heavyweight of the team, stopped many a drive through the line by his fe- rocious playing. He played an excellent game at guard all season. LAVERN CORRIN, Center. By far the most dependable linesman on the team was Lavern Corbin who held down the center position. His ability to break through the line and stop plays was a big factor in Piedn1ont's success. HARRY BROCK, End. Piedmont was fortunate in having Handsome Harryw at end, for his ability to catch forward passes netted many yards for the Purple and VVhite. Harry started the season at lialfback but was soon shifted to his old position. JOHN TYSON, Manager. Of all the managers to date, none have worked so hard for the good of the school as John- nie. The shack was always kept clean by his efforts, and he always worked hard for the success of the team. I-IOVVARD ISEADLE, End. At the start of the season, f'Red was consid- ered to be one of the best ends Pied- mont ever had, but his injury in the Mc- Clymonds game forced him to stop play- ing for the rest of the season.

The I5 team lost four veterans from last yearis splendid team, but with K. ii , ' V- H . Robie, Brock, and Corbin as a nucleus, a team was developed which placed Piedmont's name in the hall of basketball fame. They defeated the , California Freshmen 24-21, a feat which had not been accomplished in several years by a high school team. Piedmont then surprised basketball fans in this section by trouncing Berkeley High on their own .floor 26-24, in one of the most thrilling high school games ever played. Two extra sessions were required to decide the winner. This brought about a tie for first place in the A. C. A. L. be- M tween Piedmont and Berkeley, and in the play-off Berkeley won by a margin of three free tosses 16-13. Berkeley easily won the state championship. Piedmont, therefore, may be ranked high in state basketball circles. fl JOHN H. NAPIER, Coach. MCCLYMONDS GAME 1 Piedmont had very little trouble in downing McClymonds in the initial game of the season, scoring 25 points to their opponents 8. All the men on ji the squad had a chance in this game, or the scoring would have been higher. f UNIVERSITY GAME The second game of the season was played at Plymouth Center, where 5, Piedmont avenged themselves for the 6-6 tie University gave us in football. The if Purple and White used the five-man defense to perfection, allowing the Blue l'f and Gold but four field goals. TECHNICAL GAME gf In this game Piedmont continued her string of victories over Tech, defeat- 1-, ing them in a hotly contested game by a 12-7 score. As only ten-minute halves f were played, it is safe to say that Piedmont would have run up a larger score with the ordinary length of time. ' OAKLAND GAME Piedmonfs basketeers showed their best form in this game, taking the Acorns into camp by a 37-7 victory. The Purple and White team was never in danger throughout the game, yet Oakland showed good passing and floor work. K ., g - - --I :E i2.Lt24S.3a2aLL.Lz.m4'..1.1z.Qg:1lf:.vzz5.5,.?Qzftuovvi .

At half-time the Purple and White had the small margin lead of two points. The next half, however, was very different from the first one, the Highlanders keep- ing the ball in their possession ni11e-tenths of the time. Piedmont's success in this may be ascribed to its wonderful coach, Mr. Napier. SECOND UNIVERSITY GAME The second game with University High School was played on our court, and again Piedmont came out victorious. The Highlanders, however, did not show up as well as was expected. The final score was 23-8. FIRST BERKELEY GAME The first Berkeley game was the poorest contest the Highlanders played. They were away off form and seemed to be very nervous. The score, however, does not mean that the Redshirts had an easy time of it, for they were forced to work hard for every basket made. . FIRST HAYWARD GAME. ' The first game with Hayward was played on Piedmont's court. It was a very fast game in which Mr. Napier used different players in an attempt to find the best combination for the next game with Berkeley. At the end of the first half Hayward was ,leading 12-9. The second half Mr. Napier put in the regular defense of Weeks and Brock and the Farmers failed to register another point. The score ended 21-12. CALIFORNIA FRESHMAN CAME The Purple and White basketeers were at top form for this game and 'were victorious after a hard fought game, with a 24-21 score. In this game Ken Robie played against his brother Ira, a former Piedmont High star. SECOND BERKELEY GAME This was Piedmont's best game. The Purple and White boys were on the short end of a 14-4 score at half time. They came back fighting in the next half and tied the score just as the gun ended the second half. Two extra periods were required before Piedmont emerged the victor by a 26-24 score. SECOND IIAYYWARD GAME This game was played at Hayward. The first half was all Piedmont's, for the Highlanders were never in danger from the Orange and Black players. The second half, however, was rather a different story. The Hayward team, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, staged a rally that brought their score up con- siderably, but the Piedmont team started to fight and held them down. When the whistle blew, the Highlanders were leading, 26-19. STANFORD FRESHMAN GAME The Stanford Freshmen avenged the defeat of last year by taking the Purple and White players into camp by a 22-8 score. The Piedmont players fought hard at all times, but were handicapped by the poor lighting system and incompetent refereeing. THIRD BERKELEY GAME This game was probably the hardest fought one of the season with the exception of the second contest with the Redshirts. Piedmont was forced to concede an advantage to Berkeley at the start by having to play in Berkeley's Gym. The game started with a rush when Piedmont dropped in two buckets in succession. Berkeley then tied the score and at the end of the half was leading by two points. The next half was even more bitterly fought, neither team drawing a very great lead. Familiarity with their baskets, however, de- cided the game in favor of Berkeley.

Vern was known and respected by all his opponents both before and after a game. 'He was high point man of the season and will be back again next year. HARRY BROCK, Running Guard. Harry had a most successful season. Be- sides being there always with the tight, he brought the rooters many times to their feet with his sensational shots from the center of the court. He was captain but had to resign when elected student- body president. He will be missed by all. NORMAN DONANT, Guard. Nor wasn't given many opportunities to play in theileague games but showed up well when in the game. He will be back next year. EUGENE SHEFFIELD, Forward. He was always there with his timely shots and was one of the most reliable players on the Purple and White. Lefty will be out for a Frosh berth next year. CAPTAIN-ELECT KEN R O B I E, Forward. Ken is a small man in height, but he was feared the most by Berkeley. He was by far the eleverest floorman Piedmont has ever had. GILBERT WEEKS, Standing Guard. The exceptional guarding of Gil throughout the season was the main cause of the low scores against the High- landers. He won the Basketball Optimo. THERON H O W A R D, Manager. Thee handled the team like a veteran, having the famous eggs, lemons and or- anges always on hand. MR. JOHN NAPIER, Coach. A11 of Piedmont's success on the basketball court this year may be ascribed to him. His specialty was developing men into a smooth working machine that won games. Piedmont is very fortunate in having Mr. Napier as basketball coach. 1 103 1o4 'B B : ,c- an 2 s .Q D VJ e M QJ -2 H On. V5 2 -2 Q 'S fi .la M 3 2 I. 9, Q3 E .

Piedmont IEDMONT finished her baseball season after a hard schedule with eight victories and six losses as a record. Although defeated in the majority 44 fffgi f 1 of their league contests, the Highlanders scored victories over all the O. A. L. schools in practice games. The team scored many more runs than did its opponents during the season and went scoreless only in the first Ala- meda game. The largest score was made when Piedmont defeated Hayward 24-6. MT. DIABLO GAME In the first baseball game of the year Piedmont scored a decisive victory over the Mt. Diablo Union High School by the overwhelming score of 15-2. Alvin Johnson pitched a line game and was given good support by the team. The Highlanders hit the ball all over the lot. CONCORDIA COLLEGE GAME The Concordia ball team seemed to have an advantage over the High- landers during the majority of the game as Piedmont had the bases full on three occasions but was unable to score the needed runs. The final score was 8-5 after a seventh inning rally in which three runs were scored. FREMONT GAME The Highlanders played true to form and defeated the Fremont team 5-4 in an exciting contest. Harry Brock scored the winning run in the seventh in- ning on Phil Ray's hit. Pelligrini hit a long home run for the Fremont team. UNIVERSITY GAME As Lavern Corbin pitched a uno hit game, it was easy for the Purple and White team to score a 9-1 victory over the Universityites. The Piedmont tossers ran wild on the bases and stole everything except the catcher's mask. RICHMOND GAME . Although Piedmont scored a two run lead in the first inning, the Richmond hall team, by making good use of their few hits and an error, tied the score. Al Johnson was the star of the game, hitting a l0I1g home run as well as pitching a good game, while Phil Ray hit three for safe hits. The final score at the end of nine innings was 4-4. 105 QL Q CLAN-Q-LQG Q51 QZX cfmicr OAKLAND HIGH GAME Piedmont High defeated another O. A. L. team by taking the Oakland High players into camp 6-3. As Brown, Oakland's pitcher, was wild, Napier's team made use of the fact and got men on bases in this manner, while the team came through with enough hits for a victory. TECHNICAL GAME In one of the hardest fought games of the season, the Purple and White team triumphed over one of their greatest rivals, Technical High, by a 4-3 score. The team played fine baseball, giving Johnson good support, and hitting the ball in the pinches. Technical was by far the best team in the O. A. L. CALIFORNIA FRESHMAN GAME The slugging California Freshmen completely outclassed the Highlanders and won 9-2. Piedmont, however, staged a rally in the last inning and scored two runs. Watson, frosh pitcher, baffled the Piedmont players from the start. FIRST HAYWARD GAME The team found little trouble in hitting the Hayward twirlers and scored 24 runs, while Corbin held the league opponents to six tallies, most of which were scored when subsitutes were sent in the game. Ray with four hits and Robie with three were the hitting stars of the game. FIRST BERKELEY GAME Piedmont lost its first league game when Berkeley nosed us out in a 3-2 game. Two of the three runs were scored on passed balls to the catcher. The Highlanders outplayed the Yellowjackets but were unable to make another run. Johnson, who did the twirling, pitched a fine game but was given ragged support. SECOND HAYVVARD GAME In an effort to beat their record in scoring runs in the first Hayward game, the Purple and White fell short, but finally won by the overwhelming score of 13-2. Corbin pitched seven innings a11d allowed only one hit. SECOND BERKELEY GAME At the start of the game it looked as if the Highlanders would avenge their defeat by Berkeley in the first contest, but the Yellowjackets suddenly solved ,lohnson's delivery and drove in eight runs in the last three innings. The final score was 8-2. FIRST ALAMEDA GAME Fayen, Alameda pitcher, wrecked the hopes of the Highlanders by holding them hitless for the entire game, while his team mates got just enough hits off Corbin to put over three runs. Vern twirled a five-hit game and deserved to win, but the failure of the team to hit lost the game. SECOND RICHMOND GAME In a return game with the Richmond baseball team, the team took revenge for the first game in which the Richmondites held them to a 4-4 tie, and slammed their way to a I3-2 victory. Vern Corbin again twirled a fine game and the Richmond players solved his delivery for but 5 hits. Robie and Ray shared the hitting honors of the day. SECOND ALAMEDA GAME The Highlanders ended the season with an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Alameda baseball team 13-4. Although the Purple and White team hit the ball hard throughout the contest, double plays and good fielding in the outfield blighted their hopes of overcoming Alameda's early lead. vin -ff-1 if-1'-rw--v-1 1 rr-wr r y 1 . - v ,V .- I ---1 rf - ff, Y 1 1 ,rw , I .7 I ixgom,-ax,,x,,-,L -,.a,.ff, -,f .,,-,. ,. -I-, ..,.. -,L M- ,-. 106 BASEBALL -4- CAPTAIN McALLISTER. Although Mark was not among the leading hitters, he played a steady game at second for his third year on the team. Mark was a foxy man on the bases and worried the opponents with his running. KEN ROBIE. Piedmont's little vet- eran short stop had another banner year and did his share of the run scoring. HARRY BROCK. Harry, the demon base runner, did more to worry pitchers than any other player and stole by far the most bases. He also played a good game in the outfield. CHARLES CROSBY. From the start, Charlie gave Captain McAllister a hot tight for second base honors and hit the ball on the nose when he got a chance. He also played several games in the out- field toward the end of the season. PHlLIP RAY. Phil, at first base, was an ever-ready player who was al- ways talking the game up and putting fight into the other players. Besides the many sensational stops that he made, he was the leading hitter with the willow and could be depended upon to bring in the runs. Winner of Optimo Cup. MANAGER DON FLANGUS. Don was a faithful manager throughout the entire season and was always out with the team during practice. As a score- keeper and as guardian of the equipment, Don's equal has not been found in any previous manager. ALVIN JOHNSON. Alvin, better known as Curley, turned in some fine games at the start of the season and baffled Piedmont's opponents with his curves. KNO pictureJ. QW A IO 108 B A S E B A L L -4- V BILL OLIVER. Bill, a veteran of three year's experience, had by far the best arm on the team and caught many runners at the plate with his lightning throws. LAVERN CORBIN. At the beginning of the season, Vern was a mediocre pitcher who failed to cause the opposing batters much worry, but from the time he pitched a no hit game against Uni- versity, he became Piedmont's best pitcher. MURISON WRIGHT. Last year's winner of the Optimo Cup played the best game at third of any of the infield- ers, and more than once cut off what looked to be sure hits with nifty one- handed stops. ROSS BROWN. Ross was considered to be the best catcher on the squad and did the receiving in the majority of the games. COACH NAPIER. John H. Napier coached his first Piedmont baseball team through a successful season in spite of the defeats toward the end. All of the victories scored against Piedmont were scored by superior teams which were on Piedmont's schedule, and the losses were no fault of the coaching. ' HARLEIGH BRIAN. Piedmont had in Harleigh Brian a hard-working catcher with a fine throwing arm and a good batting eye.

TENNIS Tennis was the most successful of the minor sports at Piedmont during the past year. The team defeated Fremont, Oakland, University, and Rich- mond in succession. Their only defeat was at the hands of the strong Berkeley team hy a 6-2 score in the tournament that determined the championship of the A. C. A. L. They next entered the N. C. I. F. and went to the finals before being eliminated. The chances of the Purple and W'hite are excellent for a cham- pionship next year. The players who represented Piedmont were Heli , Grimme, 'fBottomer Rawlings, lVlartin McKee, Stebbins Bonestell, Lavern Cor- bin, ,lack Sherwin, and Gerald Kelly. SWTIMMINC Swimming was not a very successful sport at Piedmont this year. There was a very good turnout, but poor facilities for practicing prevented the Purple and White paddlers from taking any honors. Next year we hope to have a good team as there will be plenty of experienced material. TRACK The track team, under the leadership of Frank Brown, developed far better than was expected and came through with several victories. Several meets were held besides the regular A. C. A. L. The first of these, which was with Mount Diablo Union High, was lost by a rather had score. The track out there was very slow and was very.diH'erent from the kind to which the Highland track- sters were accustomed. In the A. C. A. L. meet, Piedmont annexed eight points in the dash events. In a meet held with Mission High at Berkeley we lost by a score of 21-31. The final meet of the year proved a success to the Purple and Wfhite who completely outclassed Hayward, winning by a score of 51-39. SOCCER UCCER started as one of the minor sports of Piedmont High this Tennis II 1 Tc'i'fXiz7o-LoE- THE OPTIMO CUPS IEDMONTS cups, awarded each year to the ath- lctes excelling in a major sport, cause more inter- est and discussion than any one tradition in the school. The cups were originated and purchased mainly through the efforts of Mr. Robert Walker, a friend of Piedmont High School, with the idea of furthering the spirit of sportsmanship, scholarship, and efficiency in the playing of a sport. ' Football Optima There is an Optimo Cup for each major sport, Base- ball, Football and Basketball, to be awarded to the player in any one of these sports who affords the most real serv- ice to his team 'in the eyes of the coaches and captains of . I . .7 ,.. s.,:sp.+,, ff , x 'fwfgiw-Q? -lx ,' the teams. xy The Football cup, the first one to be presented, was given to Rollin Koser of the 1922 football team, who stood head and shoulders above the other players on the team in the requirements for the cup. William Oliver, the ' winner of the honor this year, certainly won it by his mas- terful playing and leadership on the football field. , Basketball Optimon Lavern Corbin was the Hrst winner of the Basketball cup 3 and carried on his good playing this year. The winner of the ' p, honor this year was Gilbert Wleeks., a new comer to the school, who won his way into the hearts of everyone in school by his ' f ' personality as well as by his excellent playing. The Baseball Uptimo Cup was presented to Murison Wright Q? to start the tradition and was won by Philip Ray of this year's team for his all-round skill in the sport. The tradition of the Optimo Cups is comparatively new in M the school, but it will live with the same interest and same high ideals as long as the school itself exists. Baseball 0ptimo 7 II2 GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls' Executive Council Top Bow: Thayer, Majors, Baker, Stadlinger, Saint, Desmond Middle Row: M. J. Edwards, Stevenson, Burrell, Lewis, M. Sherman, Laidley Bottom Bow: Freeman, WI. Edwards, Lee, D. Sherman FTER-SCHOOL athletics among the girls in Piedmont High School are directed by an executive committee made up of the ofhcers of the Girls, J X22 Athletic Association and the managers of the various sports. This committee serves for an entire year and arranges a schedule for practice and games so that every girl in school has a chance to take part in her favorite sport in both semesters. The year l923-l924 has proved a busy and successful one under the able leadership of Margaret Edwards, G. A. A. president. For tl1e first time in the history of the school the senior class came out with strong teams in all inter-class contests, easily winning the baseball series and making the juniors work hard to get the basketball and volley hall champion- ships. The junior high, though not carrying off any inter-class victories, made a name for themselves hy their active participation in practice games. Judging from this year's achievements, we may predict that the junior high will cause the upper classmen to work hard to defend the championship titles next year. Baseball and swimming proved very popular sports for the younger girls, while skating and basketball seemed to appeal most to the older ones. Isabelle Burrell, baseball manager, had her hands full umpiring games every Thursday night during the fall. Not all the shrieks, however, that came from the diamond registered joy over home runs. Some meant despair at grounders rolling over the canyon,s edge, even though the heroines who pursued the balls received hiking credit. Batting honors for the season were given to '4Babe Ruthw Robertson when she trotted home on a fair hit through the window of the shacks. II3 1 f.v.3:.i1. f iflli CLAN-Q-LOG QfX'Te.f:'Q7.fmj2ifffm5zizQi113L'.L2. In the fall term sixty girls took a course of twelve lessons in swimming and diving at the Y. Wi. C. A., Mary Baker being manager. A smaller group signed up for the spring term without lessons. V Skating at ldora Rink, with Marjorie Castle as managerf drew the largest attendance of any sport, one hundred and sixteen girls being on the Hoor at one time, some of them standing. Even the faculty joined the merry whirl. Miss Mitchell taught many to skate backwards, and each day ended with a jolly game of tag. In rowing, under the direction of Esther Desmond, the freshmen crew made the best showing because of the enthusiasm of Captain Avis Blaisdell. Their short but usnappyn season closed the spring term. The junior high riding club managed by Cora Majors was especially for- tunate this year in learning to bounce up and down and say uwhoaw in French, as Miss Alexander of the French department chaperoned their many gallops over the bridle trails in our Piedmont hills. The aesthetic dancing class of Mary Jeannette Edwards proved a great suc- cess, but to the sorrow of many applicants the enrollment was limited to twenty. Barbara Lee, tennis manager, organized a progressive tennis tournament for the spring term, the inter-class tennis being scheduled to close the season. Isabel Thayer, archery manager, has promised the girls archery for next year as our busy manual training department has agreed to make our bows. As usual the executive committee gave an assembly program, this year's taking the form of a parody on Mah ,longg to boost the school bonds election. The C. A. A., as in previous years, also took charge of the balloon concession at the Highland Fling. As for their social program, of course the C. A. A. Christmas jinx stands out as a gala occasion to be looked forward to all through the fall term-a day when every girl i11 school in fancy costume attends the hilarious party from which all boys are strictly forbidden. The spring term ended as usual with the picnic supper and bonfire rally given on the school campus in honor of the out- going executive committee. Don't you agree that the year of 1923-1924 has been a successful one for Girls, Athletics in Piedmont High School? llllllllllllllf fiig ln 'r 2',g ,gvgf,,x, is ?f'?!?f , 5513212 ' me xl f '-Q 5 wg pf X ,Wt , ill l yi U lil, i wi sfs:3g5f,f . ,, ' in n in n wh 41 2.4 . .ixMIwlll.?1fj4 . . . .
