' W '16 Piedmont High School FOREWORD E, the staff of 1927, are submitting to you llfmfhfgfl' the fourth volume of the CLANfOfLOG, if the yearly publication of Piedmont High School. Our greatest ambition has been to equal the achievements of previous editors, and at the same time to publish a volume expressive of our own individuality and adapted to the activities of the present year. Because the school has been growing at such a rapid rate, it has been found necessary every year to enlarge the book until this fourth volume contains, exclusive of advertising, more than twice as many pages as are in the volume published in 1922. Every year a definite theme has been developed through the book. This year we decided upon the Arabic theme, which is Hot only artistic, but also imaginative. We have in Piedmont High School many ideals which represent the school spirit. We have taken these ideals as expressed by men of experience and placed them on pages through the book, where they may be found in the form of proverbs introducing the various phases of school life. Now that our work as a staff is over, we trust that our efforts will be graciously received by those who chance upon this book. 5 john D.

Nlodern education is more complicated today and undertakes its tremendous tasks more intelligently than ever before in the history of education. The modern high school is indeed a great: laboratory for the development of those capacities in hoys and girls which are essential for their success in life, economically, socially, civically. xcsthetically, and morally. To attain a tremendous purpose a large list of varied activities must he provided within and without the classroom to give an opportunity for the development of these qualities through practice and exercise. This yearbook chronicles the activities which have gone forward outside the classroom. To the extent to which these activities, depicted in picture and narrative, indicate success, a measure of the growth of the student hody of this school may he approximated. The faculty and student body of Piedmont High School are to be congratulated upon their achievements of the year just passed, and these successes should prove an inspiration for still greater things in the years ahead.

Girls' Council HE senior boys this year, unlike the boys of the preceding class, refused to allow girls to hold every office except that of boys' representative. This year has been a very successful one although the girls have declared that boys do not make the most eilicient oihcersg however, that is a matter for dispute. The sale of the pins and rings was the biggest and most lasting project. Douglas Erskine had charge of the sale, and his almost weekly announcements would have been quite funny if they hadn't been tragic. When he left, the duty of selling the remaining pins and rings was transferred to Jane Gregory, who completed the task. The girls carried oif the championships in the interclass competition in basketball and volleyball under the leadership of Frances Freeman and Betty Stevenson. Every Wednesday some of the girls under Barbara Lee went to the Alexander Home to tell stories to the children, take charge of the playground, and teach dancing and singing. There are several plans being made for the spring semester, the most important ones being for the dance and carnival. Ralph Shrader, who has charge of the stunt for the carnival, hopes that the class will win the prize, which usually has been taken by the senior class. Doris Martens was elected chairman of the flag committee which will present a flag to the school, as the seniors did last year. The individuals of the class have been prominent in school affairs, and Piedmont will always be proud of what they have done and will do after they leave school. 16 SENIORS ADAMS.

One of their most notable achievements was 'The meetings were very orderly and quiet, as Marjorie Castle, sergeantfatfarms, and her committee of three discharged their duties very effectively, much to the sorrow of many disorderly students. In the fall, the class successfully tried the plan of having the juniors act as hig sisters to the girls just entering, as is done in colleges. The hig and little sisters went to Ivlontelair on a picnic one afternoon, the older girls bringing the lunch. Phil Stearns, who headed the entertainment eommittee, arranged a very success' ful dance which was given in Octohcr. Plans were made to give another dance some' time in April. The captains for the spring athletics are as follows: for hasclaall, Jeanne Muller and Laurence Barrettg for volleyhall, Ivlary Glockler and Harold Kncedler: for tennis. Pauline Wise and Martiii McKee. The girls enjoyed their social service work very much. Every Tuesday from four to five a group under Ernestine Samuels went to the childrens home at the Ladies Relief, where they played with the children, told them stories, and taught them songs. The ClanfOfLog is always the higgest project of the junior class: this year the juniors have endeavored to put out a hook that is up to the standard of previous volumes of the yearbook, Next year as seniors, the junior class will he the leaders of the school, and as such, will exert their utmost energy for the good of Piedmont High School. ax 3 l Sophomore Class 32 SCPI-IOMCRE CLASS f' , OFFICERS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER LAURENCE BARRETT ..,....,..............,........... .......

As a class they did very little, hut as individuals they were xxorthy of praise. gizhffwili In interclass athletics hoth the hoys and girls made a good showing, regardless of the fact that they had to compete wih teams of more experience. This term the sophomore girls acted as big sisters to the low seventh girls. Bef sides helping their little sisters, they took an active interest in social service work hy making gingham dresses for the orphans of the Gibson Home. The monev for the dresses was donated hy the ParentfTeachers' Association, and the material, which was different in every dress, was hought hy a committee under Betty Lohse. The girls of the sewing classes cut the dresses, and the mothers assisted in sewing them. The sophomores were given a chance to assist in the Clan1OfLog work, but there were so many of them to lind work for, that the idea of having assistants had to he ahandoned. Nevertheless, they have gained valuable experience which should enahle them to edit a very good hook when their turn comes. The class hopes to win the prize with the carnival skit which is being planned, hut as all the other classes have the same hope, only time can decide the winner. lvlemhers ot the class will sell hot dogs at the Fling. Next year it will he ditlieult for the class to live up to the high standards it has set for itself this year, its record will nndouhtahly he splendid in every way, and Piedmont expects much of next year's juniors, 1 1 Ninth Grade 34 NINTH GRADE 1.6: 1 OFFICERS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER DAVID STEVENSON ............................................

'. ., ' f it X-0 An important event of the year was the winning of a beautiful picture from the ParentfTeachers' Association. This award was given the freshmen for having had the largest number of mothers present at a designated P. T. A. meeting. This honor was a great interclass triumph of the class over their close rivals. Equally interested in social service, the girl members of the class lent their earnest efforts in skillfully decorating the study hall for the childrens party that the school sponsored at Christmas. In dramatics, too, the class won wholefhearted applause from an appreciative audience of Piedmont High School students. The plav presented in assembly in the middle of the fall term was Booth Tarkington's delightful comedy, The Ghost Story . This play showed a great deal of ingenuity on the part of the freshmen class, and also brought some future actors into the limelight. The playlet starred Wztnda Van Dyke and Ernest Mendenhall, both of whom were given an opportunity to show some k remar able talent. The rest of the cast should be commended, for they contributed some exceptionally fine acting to the play. The freshmen have a long list of accomplishments to their credit- may they con- tinue their splendid work through the next few years when they are members of high school! e,'x fu Q53 Eighth Grade 36 EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER ERNEST INJENDENHALL ................................ .......

Girls' Council HE seventh grade students started their first semester in high school with all the vim and vigor that could be expected of an enthusiastic group of grammar .uf-. 1 school pupils. After adapting themselves to their new quarters in the junior High, these new' comers immediately looked about for new worlds to conquer. At their first class meeting they elected their class ofhcers, selecting an excellent group of their classmates to represent them in all their activities. This group did some very commendable work in guiding the new class through their first semester. September 30th marked the date of the first class dance. The dance committee was very successful in its first social enterprise. The members of the class had come recently from Havens and Beach Schools, and the dance helped greatly to break the ice , the students being given a chance to meet one another on a social basis. During the spring term nothing spectacular was accomplished, but this was not the fault of the new officers, for they performed their duties faithfully and cfhciently. The spring term, somehow, is not the time for school activities. At the novel suggestion of one of its public spirited members, the class will sponsor an applefpie booth at the annual Highland Fling. This booth ought to be very popular with the throngs of pleasure seekers that rove around the grounds on this day. With such a start in the highfschool world as these students received their first year, the entire student body can rest assured that the reins of the school government will fall, in a few years, into capable hands. 30 h School Hig Senior Ont Piedm School igh H junior Piedmont Y , r' 1 V .u r A NL , ' Ui 1 ,. ..

HE Board of Control, the governing body of the school, is elected during the last three weeks of each term by the students. The members of this Board --rife include fourteen student representatives: a president, who is also the student body president, and whose place it is to preside at all meetings, a vicefpresident and a secretary, who perform the customary duties of those oihcesg a commissioner of organif zations, who directs the various clubs of the school, a commissioner of entertainments, who provides for all entertainments for the school, including programs in assembly, noon dances, and the Highland Fling, a yell leader, who attends all games and provides rallies, and two commissioners of the cafeteria fone girl and one boyj. In addition to these officers the presidents of the six classes are members of the Board. The principal of the school sits with the Board in an advisory capacity, and holds the power of veto. During the past year the Board has accomplished many things for the benefit of Piedmont High School. One of the first measures adopted was that of the special seating arrangement in assemblies, at first the boys sat in the center of the auditorium, and the girls on the sides. Once a semester this order is to be changed and the girls are to occupy the center seats, with the boys on the sides. The plan of suspending the troublefmakers from assemblies was also devised. The Block P assumes control of the execution of these new plans, and the members of that organization occupy aisle seats in order to carry out their duty the more easily, and with the least possible conf fusion. The president of the organization is present at meetings in which the order in assemblies is discussed. The Board took up the matter of student control in the study hall, but as yet no definite arrangement has been made, however, the matter will probably be taken up and given serious consideration in the near future. One of the main issues before the Board was that of adopting two songs, a school song and a cheer song. A contest was opened in charge of the Board, and several good songs were submitted. A school song was chosen, but the Board was unable to decide on a cheer songg therefore the contest was necessarily reopened. Another question discussed was that of appointing or electing a school historian. This matter was investigated, and as the work proved too much for one person, it was decided that a committee should be appointed to write the history of Piedmont High School. The sale of student body cards was handled in a very skilful and businesslike manner both semesters. Much credit is due those who were in charge. The Board of Control has attempted in the past year to fullill its duties in a manner that would be a credit to Piedmont High School. Through the able guidance and cofoperation of Superintendent Jones and the faculty, the Board has been able to accomplish its work in a commendable manner. 46 THE BLGCK P SOCIETY Fourth Row: Scliwiidz, Md!Ll76Lt'.Y, Stevens, Bell, Tysrm.

Block P Society, which was started three years ago, has developed until it is now one of the best and most useful organizations in Piedmont High School. Since many new memhers have won their letters in one of the major sports and have been admitted during the past year, the cluh has now grown to he an organization with over thirty athletes, all of whom are working hard for their society and for the school. It has always heen the aim of this cluh to carry out the rules and regulations estahlished hy the Board of Control. Last year the English P and the Block P were asked to regulate assemblies, which through the aid of the student hody, have now he' come so quiet that every one can enjoy them. During the past year many responsihilities have heen given to the Block P, all of which have heen undertaken successfully. Besides handling all the crowds at the football games and taking care of the assemhlies, first during Lavern Corhiifs presidency in the fall term, and in the spring when Gilhert Weeks was president of the society, the cluh handled the large crowds at the haskethall games without any trouhle. All in all, this past year has heen a very successful one for this organization. The members wish to take this opportunity to thank the students for their cofoperation and help during the year: they hope also that the club may continue to be of greater and greater service to Piedmont High School. -IT THE ENGLISH P SOCIETY Top Row: M. Casey, A. Saint, P. Wise, N. Shreve, Mrs. May, B. Stevenson. Lower Row: L. Stadlinger, B. Lolise, L. Dudley, V. Currie, B. Lee, E. Kelley, H. Brian. HE English P Society began its year with only six members, as the maioritv u l of last year's members graduated in june. Avice Saint was elected president, and Norma Lundgren, secretary. Two more girls made their 400 points for membership the second month, and later the club voted to ask the sport managers of the G.A.A. to meet with them. This saved having extra meetings of the G,A.A. execu- tive committee, besides making a very strong working organization to manage the girls' athletic activities. In the spring term six new members were admitted: Elizabeth Kelley, Leahdell Dudley, Harriet Brian, Natalie Shreve, Martha Casey, and Louise Stadlinger. Virginia Currie was elected president, and Pauline Wise, secretary. This year the society has continued its sale of novelties at games, many new features being introduced. The Scotch rooters' caps, pompoms, serpentine, and flow' ers have made the bleachers at all interscholastic games a riotous display of the purple and white, and have added greatly to school spirit. Two luncheons were given during the year. In the fall the club entertained its alumni, and in the spring the annual valentine luncheon was given for the new mem- bers. In addition to its social activities and the sale of novelties, the club has continued to assist in keeping order in assemblies, and has also assumed charge of the girls' coat and hat rooms, shower rooms, and the gymnasium. 48 KIMMER SHIELDI G f liourth Row: Clothing, Barrett, Ste1.'eiis.

Kimmer Shielding was ehoscn as a fitting namc for the cluh, hecause it was a Scotch name that would coincide with the Scotch theme already a tradition of Piedmont High. This cluh has two ohjects in view: one, to promote goodftellowship, and the other to do something for the henefit of the community. The meetings once a week bring the memhers close together where they may talk over the affairs of the eluh. There are ahout thirty active memhers and ahout the same numher of associate members. It has heen the tradition ot the cluh to give a hanquet and dance to the retiring officers, every six months. Throughout the year various other forms of entertainment are also indulged in, such as theatre parties, tug rides, socials, and dances. It is thus that the ohject of goodffellowship is carried out. In the year 1924 the Kimmers presented Vilhialimur Stefansson in an interesting lecture ahout his trip to the North Pole. In 1925 the cluh presented to the community a man of equal interest, Mr. Charles Wztkefield Cadman, the eminent American composer. He, with the aid of Princess Tsianina, presented a delightful program. The organi:er and first president of the eluh was Harry Brock. He served for two terms, and was succeeded hy Williziiii Oliver. The third president was Clinton Eastwood, who was followed hy Dudley Bell. to Music Organizations 50 MUSIC it-gp- THE ORCHESTRA INCE Piedmont High School came into existence, it has had an orchestra, it '4 I' 'Cl . . . , . . . - . RSL L21 an organization which has many times proved its ability to function as a 5 ll Qi . . 3 . . - . -1 musical group. This years orchestra, which has been an especially eihcient one, consists of fortyftxvo members, and has been a never failing source of enjoyment. not only to the student body but to many outside organizations. The Ii'.T.A, has many times expressed its appreciation for the delightful programs rendered by the orchestra. The drama department expresses deep gratification to the members of the orchestra and to Mr. Ball for their splendid work in supplying the incidental numbers accompanyf ing the dramatic productions. The mastering of Beethoven's 'gFifth Symphony has been the most difficult task attempted this year. Nlovements of the symphony have been presented at the various assemblies, while the piece as a whole has been given at other times. Further class work on the symphonic idea was done during the latter part of the spring semester. This talented group of students under the supervision of Mr, Ball has certainly merited the term successful in all its fullness of meaning, THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB In the fall of I924, the Girls' Glee Club of Piedmont High School began a sue' ccssful year, The first difficult piece of work attempted was The Bohemian Girl . Although this opera took up a great deal of time, some spare moments were found in which the club learned several very pleasing little compositions to present in assembly. The intermittent caroling done during the presentation of the Christmas play. Eager Heart , was also furnished by the Girls' Glee Club, The heaviest work attempt ed was the dramatic cantata, The Village Blacksmith , which was given several times both inside of the school and at outside performances in the evening. The spring festival came next and represented a great deal of time and effort on the part of Mr. Ball and the Glee Clubs. Unfold Ye Portals by Gounod, Serenade by Schubert, and Dawn's Awakening from Orpheus by Gluck formed the most important selections for the festival. Along with these were some solo numbers by members of the club. All of the above accomplishments, along with a general standard of excellence, make it possible to rate the Girls' Glee Club as one of the highest of the many organ' izations in Piedmont High School. THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB Smallness of numbers has not presented any form of diseouragement to the Boys' Glee Club of Piedmont High School. Great effort and earnestness have made up for any lack of numbers in this department. k'The Bohemian Girl presented the largest piece of work for the fall semester, although several lighter selections were learned. Especially enjoyable to the students have been the humorous numbers which the club has rendered. During the spring semester various operatic selections were chosen for class work. The development of a quartette was quite a new and entertaining feature of the semesf ter. The Boys' Glee Club has been a great source of entertainment at the many times when it has appeared before the school. and a sincere vote of thanks should go to this group for what it has done toward making the year a successful one in music. Sl THE PRINT SHOP OR two years, the printing department of Piedmont High School was housed in an improvised shack. Even though working under great difficulties, the if- lj department did all the printing for the Board of Education and the Student Body, The building did not afford the conveniences that are usually considered essenf tial to good work, nevertheless, a grade of printing was done that was a credit to the school. In january 1925, the print shop was moved into the new junior High School building. Here, in a large, wellflighted, and wellfventilated room designed especially for the print shop, the most modern supplies were furnished. Among the equipment are two Intertype composing machines, a Miehle cylinder press, a job press, a cutting machine, type cabinets, and several composing tables. The many students that take the course in printing are so enthusiastic about the subject that they remain, volunf tarily, many hours overtime. The printing department cofoperates with the Highlander staff in putting out the paper that was judged the best printed by any California high school with less than one thousand students. Piedmont is one of the few high schools in the state that print a high class yearbook in their own department. It is much to the credit of the print shop that it printed the 1923 and 1924 editions of the ClanfOfLog, the annual that has been twice awarded first place in the yearbook section of the Stanford Convention. 52 ORGANIZATIONS THE SENIOR ART CLUB L you want to develop your artistic talent, you must, hy all means, join the Senior Art Club, for the chief aim oi l.Q5il'ls this organization is to further the interests of art During the lirst semester the club had A a very interesting meet- ing in which Mr. Vsfoodward of Gainesfvxfalrath gave a talk on interior decorationg at another time Mr. Harris of Thomas and Harris spoke of the inost effective flower arrangements, at still another time the club had an interesting meeting in which the members listened to a talk by Curtis Dean on antiques to be found f in New England: at another meeting Mr. Knox, the head of our French Department, spoke of work done by his classes and by him in France. The members of the club also gave, at different times, talks pertaining to art. The advisor, to whom a great deal of credit is due for making this club a huge success, is Mrs. Sonnenschein. The president for the first semester was Marjorie Castleg for the second sein rti Hflr 3 N ' ' ' ts tr, c cn Robertson was president. THE HIKING CLUB The members of the Hiking club are experts. Witli Mr. Karnes as advisor, they have learned all the science and joys of hiking. Many pleasant Walks were planned and enjoyed, and interesting talks upon Europe and the United States were given. Time was used advantageously also in the explaining of certain mechanical contrivances, the machine gun being one of them. Paul Brophy, the president in the fall, saw the organization through a very interesting semester. Unllortuiiately the club did not continue its activities througho t l THE ETUDE CLUB This ncwcomcr is the junior branch of our Music Club. judging from its purf pose-to further the interests of m ' I' ' ' usic in iedmont High School-xwe are to expect great things from this club Wlicu know b . s ut we may discover a primafdonna or some other musical genius in its midst? The Are you a hiker? g u tic year. advisor, Mr. Ball, is certain that with the assistance of the president, Esther - I Guy, the club will prove most successful. THE NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB This club under the guidance of Miss Pickard has enjoyed many very interesting meetings, the purpose of which has been to instill in its members a love of Nature and a desire to learn more of outdoor life. Members of the club have heard several talks which have proved of great interest. Lectures by people of note have also IC IHCCUIIQS. idded to the interest of tl S3 An educational motion picture was obtained by the club and presented to the student body in assembly. The president for the first semester was George Cockertong the second semesf ter, Everett J. Brown was president. THE O. G. A. CLUB The O. G. A. Club under the advisorship of Miss Clark is one of Piedmont High School's most progressive organizations. In addition to an instructive study of shorthand and typewriting and the history of both, the members have enjoyed many delightful functions. Cross word puzzles in shorthand became one of the interesting and educational pastimes. An attractive luncheon was also given in the school cafe' teria in honor of Miss O'Connor. William Olmstead held the position of president during the first semester, and Helen Wilcox was president during the second semester. THE MAGIC CLUB Hocusfpocus! The goldfish which you have just seen me put in the silk hat provided by this kind gentleman has mysteriously disappeared. The kind gentleman seems rather angry. I have ruined your hat, sir? But what is a mere silk hat, sir, compared to the real art of magic? ' an So speak the magicians of our most mysterious organization. Their magic, too, rivals that of the Hindu fakir or the Indian medicine men. Mysterious tricks are not the only entertainments which are furnished by the boys' club. Many a member has been told of the .. dangers of meeting a dark man and an old woman with blue roses on her bonnet. Mind reading, stunts, puzzles, and card tricks have . , f i been enjoyed at meetings. The weirdest spirit performances are now no longer the mysterious, deep, dark secrets that they used to be. They have been disclosed by this industrious, secretfsearching club.

THE JUNIOR MATH CLUB This organization was known as the Macop Club in the fall, but at the beginning of the spring semester the name was changed to Juma.

The president for the fall term was Barbara fMcCarfery, and for the spring term Patricia Dent was president. 35 THE PUNCH AND JUDY PLAYERS The Punch and Judy Players is an organization composed of members of the drama classes, and of a few students who are inter' ested in the work, but who do not study drama.

THE SENIOR FRENCH CLUB Parlezfvous francais? The members of the Senior French club can. They are able to write it, too, as the Academy at Dijon has discovered. Quite a continuous correspondence between this club and the French college has been carried on and the members of the organization are justified in feeling like efficient French writers. Clark Egan was the president for the first semester and Sydnia Michels for the second. Miss Jobard was the advisor and leader in the activities of the club. THE JUNIOR FRENCH CLUB The Junior High French Club, under the guidance of Miss Alexander, is one of the most interesting and energetic clubs of the school. During the hrst of the term an organized course of reading was instituted to cover certain periods of French history with a discussion of the heroes of each period. At some meetings, members of the club took part in French conversation games, and there was always a prize for the winner. A play, The Life of Jeanne D'Arc , was studied and presented before the student body. In October and in April, delightful luncheons were given in the cafeteria. Frederica Dieckmann was president during the fall semester, and Virginia Vincent during the spring. THE CURRENT EVENTS CLUB After reading the account of the Current Events Club, you can readily underf stand that the only way to keep up on modern things is to join the Current Events Club. Their object is to keep in touch with modern inventions and to be well informed on all historical happenings. They had a great many interesting meetings and they also found time last term to plan a lunch in the cafeteria on November 21st, The advisor, Miss Drury, is responsible to a large extent for the success of the club, whose president for the Hrst semester was Frank Buck, for the second semester the president was Jerome Suich. 56 THE LIBRARY CLUB Wheii our school library was begun, a new organization was 4' A formed, an organization that has proved to be both practical and popular with the students, namely, the Library Club. lts purpose has been to teach the members library work and to improve the lihf A book exhibit for the ParentfTeachers' Association was given at which the club was in charge of the serving of refreshments. Miss English very ably guided this club to success with the b T lu, rary. T . S ,llm X assistance of the president of the fall term, Katherine Braucht, and for the spring term, Wiiiifred Smith. Piedmont High School always welcomes a newcomer in its midst, So welcome, Library Club. THE VUITS lf, on one of these days, you see a student with a worried and tearful face busily , , occupied in chewing a perfectly good lead pencil to bits, you will probably think he is slightly unbalanced, however, set your mind at rest, we will divulge the secret, There is a new club in our midst which teaches its members to act in this peculiar fashion. The club was formed during the fashion of that most amusing fad, the cross word puzzle. The Wits -X Cross, Vvfise, and Otherwise - have written a constitution where' in each member has signified his resolve to be witty on all occasions, Mr. Batdorf has organized this unique club of which Kathleen Hibbard was the president for the spring semester, , LA ESPANITA The Spanish Club, or La Espanita, has made itself a strong and ellicient organization, both through its great number of members and through the enthusiasm and cofoperation exhibited by them. Their time was most profitably spent in research work from Spanish volumes found in our school library and in highly interesting talks and discussions by the members upon Spanish customs and the manner in which the various classes of Spaniards live. Mr, Cusicanqui, the advisor, is well acquainted with Spanish ' ways and was able to relate many interesting anecdotes and to tell the club many facts which in themselves were an education to the members. Peter Feliciano held the presidency for the first semester, and Norman Wturtl for the second. THE ENCINEEIUNG CLUB The Engineering Club of Piedmont High School has had a very busy time, its aim being to further the interests of science, invention, and engineering. Among the subjects discussed at the meetings were the following: architecture, marine engines, Diesel engines, bridges, oil wells, manufacture of sulphuric acid on a commercial scale, steam boilers, and waterpower. .QT One of the most important meetings consisted of a talk given by Mr. Barnett in which he showed very clearly the value of a college education. A member of the club, who is interested in astronomy, told the club about the telescope. Still another member explained the intricacies of a telephone. Finally, the club gave a show in the auditorium, presenting a motion picture entitled The Electric Giant . The club subscribes to magazines on engineering and the members read them dur' ing their spare time. The president for last term was William Brobeck, and for the spring term, Frank Adams. The club is very fortunate, indeed, in having Mr. Barker for its faculty advisor. THE MOVIE CLUB This organization, under the leadership of Mr. Barnett, has aided in making educational lectures more interesting to the students of various speakers. The success of the club can be judged by the enthusiasm which has greeted each movie. 8' ll Q Y., . . . . Ki by running slides or by showing travelogues to illustrate lectures f 'I L Tom Watson was the president for the fall term, however, this organization was discontinued in the spring semester. THE JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB The members of this organization have become learned in many interesting things of nature lore. Several very interesting meetings have been held. At one of these, a Hallowe'en luncheon was given in the cafeteria by twenty of the members with the guests of honor, Miss DeVelbiss and the advisor, Miss Boardman. Several picture slides of butterflies, moths, and fish have been greatly enjoyed by this organization. The president for the fall semester, Bradley Holbrook, and the president for the spring semester, Calvert Emery, have led this club in its many interesting activities. THE MUSIC CLUB The Music Club is undoubtably one of the largest organizations in Piedmont High School for it consists of eighty members. Several exceedingly interesting programs have been given and a real know' ledge of good music has been gained. During the first much time was spent in learning the music for The Girl , which Mr. Ball, the advisor, directed with great success in November. Once a month each member, by relating some informaf tion or anecdote concerning music or musicians, made the highly instructive. Mary Glockler was the president during first semester, and Barbara Kuehn during the second. 58 Do you like to ply a needle? If you do, you would enjoy be longing to Miss Elliott's Needlework Club. The members have learned to sew with skill and with an eye to economy, for th have already made, for the sewing room, curtains which could easily grace a king's palace. Christmas gifts, too, were made by this enterprising class. ' ' Eleanor Short, as president for the fall term and Sidney Wzihlf berg, as president for the spring term, have helped to make this Q club a success. ' THE NEEDLEXVORK CLUB t f ' ev l li in ul- THE FAIR PLAY CLUB The Eair Play League was formed by junior High boys who stand for fair play and sportsmanship in athletics and in all walks of life. The primary interest of the club was athletics, and the members organized foot' ball, basketball, and baseball teams. Programs were given at the weekly meetings, and on Saturdays the club often went on hikes or to the beach. Mr. Napier was advisor in the fall, and Mr, Johnson in the spring. The presif dents were Weslcyf Stevens and Donald Howard for the fall and the spring terms, ref spectively. djs THE HIGHLAND PLAYERS -613.-t HE little theater organization known as the Highlander Players, an innof ' L w . g it posed of fifteen members, this club started independent of the school to make a name for itself and for the city in the dramatic line. The homes of the members became the places for meeting every Tuesday evening, at which times a business session would be held, followed by rehearsals of onefact plays. A constitution was drawn up and the following officers were elected: Willard Van Dyke, director, Mary J, Edwards, secretary and treasurerg Rowan Gaither, business manager, and Lewis vation of the spring semester, is the iirst of its kind in the community. Com l Reis, stage manager. Through the spring months the players earnestly kept to their work, studying makefup, lighting, costuming, and the many phases of theater art. Mr, jones, recognizing the merits of the club, offered to make it a part of the high school. The matter was taken up before the members at a special meeting, and a unanif mous vote to become a part of the larger organization was the result. Mr. Knox was asked to officiate as the faculty advisor, for he is always interested in dramatic work. The meetings were then held at the little theater in the Junior High building. Three plays to be presented at a later date were worked upon, namely, The Valiant , i'Suppressed Desires , and The Eingcr of God . The 'lHighland Players is an organization which has become an institution in Peidmont High School. The places of its members are to be taken by many successive generations of young dramatic aspirants, and its charter members will look on the day when they were the organizers of an activity really worth while.

Piedmont has taken a leading role in the East Bay district in bringing the most talented musicians of the world before the community. The opening concert of the Artists' Course was on October 17, 1924, when Mme. Ina Bourskaya sang. This noted mezzofsoprano was greeted with enthusiasm, both by the students and the public. Mme. Bourskaya has made a success in Grand Opera, and her rich, colorful voice was appreciated by all. Her numbers, which were well selected, displayed the rich qualities of her marvelous voice. On the evening of November 7, a delightful program was presented by Claire Dux, the internationally known soprano. Claire Dux was early recognized as having a wonderful voice of wide range and unilied character throughout its entire compass. Miss Dux sang opposite Caruso with the Royal Opera Company in Berlin. She is by far the most artistic soprano that has ever appeared in Piedmont High School. Arthur Conradi, the celebrated violinist, played before an enthusiastic audience on January 23. Much was expected of Conradi, and no one was disappointed. The lovers of music in Piedmont will long remember the remarkable performance that was given by Mr. Conradi. One of the best treats that has ever been afforded to Piedmont High School was on the night of February 12, when Alberto Salvi, the world's greatest harpist, pre' sented an unequalled program. Signor Salvi is capable of obtaining undreamed of tones on his instrument. On Tuesday evening, February 24, Alfred Cortot gave a wonderful concert. This distinguished French pianist is widely known throughout the world, and his ability as a keyboard master was most heartily acknowledged by the music lovers of Piedmont. Mr. Cortot's outstanding characteristic is the way in which he interprets the compo' sitions of Chopin and Liszt. A wonderful joint recital was given on the evening of March 23. The installation of the organ in the auditof rium has made possible the appearance of Wallace Sabin, the eminent organist. The Sequoia Trio, composed of Arthur Conradi, violinist, Arthur Weiss, cellist, and Pierre Douillet, pianist, brought another evening of musical enjoy' ment to Piedmont. Each of these men is capable of a ref cital of his own, and their combined artistry produced music of the highest quality. The joint recital was the fi' nal number on the Artists' Course. The concluded series was the best ever brought to Pied- mont High School. Since this is the third successful series that the student body has presented, Piedmont is assured of artists of merit in the future. Mr. Ball at the Organ 66 PU BLICATIQNS FALLTQEIESTER 1 successful term was enjoyed by the Highlander staff for the fall semester of ff' 'N , -s s . XA 1924, and the paper was enlarged from a sixfpage to an eightfpage news 3'QQy4 weekly. Several special editions appeared during the term. Among these was the Wtirld Series Number. Through the aid of the Radio department an account of the game, play by play, was printed and circulated within an hour and a half after the end of the game. A special election number of the Highlander aided in the campaigning of the three parties, and pictures of the national candidates, together with other party pub' licity, appeared in this issue. just before the Christmas holidays, a twentyfeight page paper was published. This number, with its added attraction of pictures of the cast of the opera, proved to be the most interesting of the term. The 'various departments of the paper were greatly improved during the year, A full page of sports was featured in each number, and special sport editions were published before the important league games. Nlunicipal news also drew the interest of many readers, and a page of each edition was given over to community happenings, The This page is a step further toward making the Highlander a community paper. society, joke, and editorial columns have also proved assets to the paper. SPRING SEMESTER Une of the most important features of the work of the staff for the spring term was the carrying on of an advertising and circulation contest. Through this contest the circulation of the paper was increased to an average of two thousand readers, and a large increase was shown in the weekly advertising. During the term an eightfpage paper was circulated every week, and special Niav Day, Carnival, and Commencement editions were issued, while the various holidays proved incentives for feature numbers. The staff was greatly aided by the conveniences of the new building, while the staff rooms and print shop in the Junior High School proved to be an advantage over the journalistic quarters in the shacks. An interesting part of the paper is the Exchange Department. The Highlander has had, during the past year, an exchange with schools all over the United States and in Alaska and in the Hawaiian Islands, This department has been another means of carrying the name of Piedmont High School all over the country, Since its first issue the Highlander has seen much growth. From a fourfcolumn, iourfpage sheet it has grown to be a fivefcolumn, eightfpage newspaper, one of the largest school papers published in California. A great deal of credit for the success of the paper is due to Ivir. Gantz, head of the journalistic department, and to Mr, Berger, in charge of the printing. The untirf ing efforts of these men have been of great assistance to the publication. oT HIGHLANDER PHILIP RAY MARJORIE MANHEIM GALE WALLACE Editor Editorial Board Fall Semester Spring Semester STAFF FALL SEMESTER PHILIP RAY ........................ ............................I..........

I Piedmont High Schools skilled artists to add to its general beau 'wxiilzfr The cover design 1S by Marjorie johnson and is indeed worthy of special notice. The cartoons are representative of the work of Frederick Matthews, a sophof more from whom much is expected in the future, Jeanne Muller, who is a leader in the pen and ink class, drew the cuts for the organizations, and Malcom Smith made the frontispiece. Alice Weeks is responsible for the title page for athletics, and for the headings for girls' athletics, Dorothy Focha made the cut for the classes, and Kitty Palmore drew the one for activities. To D'Arcy Porter goes the credit for the printing beneath the snaps, and Claire Stoecke is accredited with the bookplate. The literary cut is the work of Peggy Mulcay, and the stage drawing is a sample of Helen Robert- son's work. Very creditable work can be found in the organizations heading by Rosamond Rounthwaite and in the drawing by Virginia Moldrup for the joke section. Emel McClure is responsible for the editorial cut, and Phil Stearns for the cartoons. HIS year's ClanfOfLog is especially Afortunate in having the work of some of llllwll . . W- The art work is a complete representation of the entire pen and ink class, Mrs. Sonnenschein, for her co-operation and assistance, is most worthy of thanks. To her and to the students in her classes the staff extends its sincere gratitude for their part in the success of the book. 72 THE GIRLS, JINX HE annual Jinx of the Girls' Athletic Association was a most successful if event. According to tradition it should have been held the last day before sy! the Christmas holidays began, but this year the delay in finishing the new gymnasium necessitated its postponement until the last of January. Every girl in Piedmont High School was invited to attend, the only requirements being the nominal fee of fifteen cents and a masquerade costume. The array of costumes was both interesting and dazzling, ranging from the satin and lace of colonial days to the suits of Peter Pan, that child from the Never Never Land. Ivlany of the guests came masked, and thus added to the fun and excitement of the affair. The executive committee, with the able help of Mrs. May, worked very hard to make this Jinx exceptionally good. The committee chairmen appointed by Betty Stevenson, the president of the Girls' Athletic Association, were as follows: enterf tainment committee, Barbara Wingztte, chairmang financial committee, Barbara Lee, chairmang refreshments committee, Avice Saint, chairman, publicity committee, Helen Baker, chairmang decoration committee, Elizabeth Kelley, chairman. A program was provided in which much of our clever Piedmont talent was ref vealed. Mziry Jeannette Edwards and Ruth Runner did a very charming little dance. Leahdell Dudley put on an extremely clever stunt. She called various members of the faculty and of the student body from the audience to help enact a play. After arranging them in the awkward positions suitable to the characters they were to portray, she announced the title of the skit to be The Gathering of the Nuts . Following the program came the refreshments, different this year from the traditional candy canes, doughnuts, and cider, and more in keeping with the season. Each girl received a bag of potato chips, several fresh doughnuts, and as many glasses of delicious cold punch as she could drink. The cafeteria plan of serving was adopted and proved to be much quicker and far better than the method of last year. The Jinx, among many other activities, shows what an excellent spirit the Piedf mont High School girls have, and that they heartily support whatever enterprise they may undertake. -., AJ p THE YELL LEADERS Fall Semester JACK ELIASSEN JACK HERRING DUDLEY BELL Spring Semester DAVID GREGORY TOM MURPHY BUNSTER CREELY URING the last year the yell leaders of Piedmont High School have instilled i N 1 1 more enthusiasm into the rooters than have any set of yell leaders in the gm lmrrlrluiqllkp . l ' Wl lll . . . . Nelly- history of the school. Jack Herring and his assistants, Dudley Bell and Jack Eliassen, started the year. During the fall semester these three planned splendid rallies, the bonfire rally being the most important. An allfround good season was the result of Jack Herring's work with the help of his able assistants. Herring's successor for the spring semester was Tom Murphy, his assistants being Bunster Creely and David Gregory. These three have also put on interesting rallies with plenty of song and noiseg and as for good yelling, the season speaks for itself. Another feature of the work of this trio was the creation and execution of some new yells, namely Oorah Yell, Blockem Piedmont , and the Long Rah . N74 TI-IE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN 45 1 GILBERT VJEEKS ROXVAN GAITHER VJILLIAM ELLIOTT Republican Democrat Progressive T has always been the aim of the administrators of this school to give as I hflmwzllg much practical training in life as is possible. Vv'ith this in view there was conducted during the fall semester of 1924 a presidential campaign similar in every respect to the national campaign. Mr. johnson, head of the social science department, had charge of the arrange ments. He appointed three leaders from the student body to represent the main parties of the country. The following were elected managers: Rowan Gaither, Democratic managerg Williaiii Elliott, Progressive managerg Gilbert Weeks, Republican manager. The campaign opened with a few remarks from each of the party leaders, who outlined the policies that they stood for. The following week three students introduced the three major candidates and told of their experience and other qualifications. A few days later the Progressive leader introduced a very interesting speaker from the Progressive headquarters. The Republicans retaliated, however, by bringing a man to the school who spoke very eloquently and convincingly on the Republican policies. The next important outside speaker was secured by the Democrats, and he, likewise, spoke in behalf of the policies of his party. Finally, orations were given by the party managers who summed up everything that had been done and urged the students to vote for their own candidates. Im' mediately following this assembly special political editions of the Highlander were circulated and on the Friday following, and on regulation ballots, the students east theirdvotes, deciding by a ten to one ratio that they wanted Coolidge for their next presi ent. T 3 V Y THE I-IOAN CLUB The Girls' Council Top Row: Helen Wilcox, Iacqueline jacobus, Elizabeth Friend, Betsey Strietmann, Louise Parcells, Miss O'Connor. Lower Row: Mignon Hill, Priscilla Reynolds, Marjorie Quayle, Grace Chapman, Frances Levensaler, Edith johnson, Lisle Anderson. Hoan Club, as its name suggests, is the 'Lhelp one another club. It is ll composed of all the girls of the school and is the organization through which ,awk all girls activities are carried out. It has three officers elected for a year, and it has been the custom to choose these officers from the senior class. These girls have the honor of representing Piedmont High in the Girls' Conference of the Bay cities which meets annually. This year Doris Martens, our secretary, acted in the same capacity for the Conference which met at the Girls' High School in San Francisco. The Hoan Club meets once a month, and at this time the problems confronting the girls are discussed, and all matters of interest are presented, sometimes by the students and often by an outside person. At our last two meetings we have had very interest' ing speakers. Four girls representing the various schools in the Bay region told us of their activities, and then Miss Cassidy of Mills College spoke to us on the subject of College Life. THE GIRLS' COUNCIL Most of the activities of the girls are planned by the Girls' Council, which is a new branch of the girls' organization. The Girls' Council is the executive body of the Hoan Club, and meets once a week with the Dean, Miss O'Conner. It is composed of the three oilicers, and of representatives from each of the several classes. Miss O'Conn0r has been very helpful to the girls, and it is through her efforts that they have been able to promote their activities successfully. 76 THE DRESS REFORM The girls have taken it upon themselves to enforce the regulation uniform that was adopted two years ago, The plan of enforcement has been satisfactorily worked out by the Council. The girls of Piedmont are justly proud of the fact that they were one of the first schools to adopt a uniform dress and that many schools since have taken up the idea. THE BIG SISTERS The girls have organized a big and little sister group, styled after the college idea. In Piedmont each lowfseventh grade girl is given a junior girl as her big sister. The big sister is a helpful advisor and friend to her little sister. CLASS ACTIVITIES The whole school is divided so that each class of girls has a special work to do. The seniors go to the Alexander Home once a week to amuse and help the children there, the juniors are eondueting four playgrounds at the Ladies' Reliefg the sophof inores, who are interested in the new upper class girls, take over any emergency cases that may arise and have also made twenty little dresses for the children at the Gibson Home. The freshmen girls compose a flower committee which keeps flowers in all the rooms of the senior high school building, and they are also responsible for keeping in touch with the girls who are absent or sick. The eighth grade girls have made clothing for the Gibson Orphanage, and the seventh grade girls have made the rooms of the junior high attractive by keeping them supplied with flowers. HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES At Thanksgiving time the girls, assisted by the boys, provided dinners for fifteen families. Food, clothing, books, toys, and money were donated by the pupils on Gift Day, which the girls hope to establish as an annual event. The food and clothing helped to make up the Thanksgiving baskets, the books were sent to the Alexander Home to establish a library, and the toys were put aside for the Christmas party which was given for twentyffive little children from the Alexander Home. Each class of girls was responsible for a certain part of the party, and all worked hard to make it a sucf cess. The girls enjoyed so much working to make these little children happy that it is their desire to give something similar every Christmas. IN APPRECIATION OF OUR MOTHERS The ParentfTeachers' Association has been greatly interested in the girls and has helped them in every way possible. The material for the dresses made for the Gibson Home was donated by the mothers, and they have made the girls feel that they are all a part of one large organization. The mothers also contributed generously to the Gift Day Fund, which helped to forward the plans of the girls. It has been the object of the Hoan Club through the Girls' Council to promote the interest of every girl in girls' affairs, so that Piedmont High will be known in part by the achievements of the girls. ' IN APPRECIATION OF OUR DEAN Surely no one is more deserving of praise than is our dean, Miss O'Conncr. We are not only fortunate in having sueh a person to work with, but we are one of the few schools to have a dean of girls. Miss O'Connor is a never failing source of assisf tance to troubled aidfseekers. The high standards and progressive ideas advocated by Miss O'Conner are sin' cerely appreciated by the girls of Piedmont High School. f-v-v ll y THE HONOR SOCIETY , -es- year at Piedmont High an Honor Society, composed of the leaders of the school in citizenship, scholarship, arts, and athletics is being formed. This 1 society will be the leading club among the various organizations, as its mem' bers will be representatives of each of the main activities in which'the students participate. Special privileges will be granted the society, such as are not allowed other organizations. The president will be a member of the Board of Control, and will hold an important place in the school life. There are two reasons for having such an organization: I-To stimulate participation in all phases of school life by proper recognition of these activities, and 2-To combine the leaders of the various activities into one organization where they may exert a united influence for the benefit of the school. In addition to qualifying in one of the four divisions fcitizenship, scholarship, arts, or athletics, the applicant must be able to measure up to certain general stan' dards. The faculty, meeting as a body, determines whether the applicant qualifies in the general requirements. At this time a list of all prospective candidates must be presented by the Honor Committee or by the class advisors. The Honor Committee, consisting of three faculty members appointed by the principal, and of the two students chosen by the Board of Control, first judges as to the student's qualincations in one of the four main heads before submitting the name to the faculty. A student once elected is automatically refelected each semester as long as he maintains the necessary standard, but if he fails in this, he is dropped at the end of the semester. There will be a club pin, which a student may wear as he retains memberf ship. A graduating member may keep his emblem provided he has been a member for three semesters. The Honor Society will be an incentive for participation in school activities, and membership will be an achievement, something for which everyone will strive. -..ig3,4,-. THE HIGHLAND ELING ...QQ-i IEDMONT High School students were given a great treat on May 22. It was on this day that the annual Highland Fling took place on the girls' athletic field and on the court behind the school. The purpose of this carnival is threefold: to raise money for the various student body activities, to give the stu' dents a practical lesson in cofoperation by working on a project, and to permit the students to enjoy one day of revelry. The setting of the carnival was that of a Mexican border town. The usual skits were presented by the several classes in the morning. Boxing and tumbling also added to the activities of the day. The booths, which were occupied bv the several clubs, were well decorated and offered a wide variety of entertainment. The dancing, which was the greatest feature of the day, was held in the gymnasium. The responsibility of this event rested upon the shoulders of Willard Van Dyke, commissioner of entertainment, who, with the aid of a committee of twelve, was able to make a sucesss of the carnival, both financially and socially. 78 DECLAMATION .

By Dorothy Adams jj-he I HE sea lay like a great dark monster and the waves crept up to the shore broke noiselessly, and receded. The night was one for romance, but Monterey lay sleeping. Different, indeed, was this Monterey of today from the city of the Dons, when through the midnight air often came the sound of soft serenades or the clatter of horses' hoofs that marked a bandit raid. The mind of Richardson Trent was filled with the thoughts of the old Spanish days, as he walked among the twisted cypress trees that lined the irregular shore of Monterey Bay. He was still in this frame of mind when he came to a clearing, where glancing carelessly to the left, he saw the ruins of an old adobe. The four walls were still standing, part of the roof was intact, but the remainder had long since crumbled in the dust. The structure seemed to have an air of mystery about it, and Richardson Trent shivered and looked around for some signs of civilization, but seeing none, he proceeded to study his surroundings. The cypress trees near by seemed more heavily bearded with moss than were those that he had passed farther up the shore, and more grotesque in shape. Finally gathering courage, Trent made his way through the long, straggling grass until at last he stood on the threshold, peering sharply into the gloom of the adobe. For a moment his eyes saw nothing, but finally accustoming himself to the dusky recesses, he saw just a bare room lighted here and there by patches of moonlight that filtered in thru the broken roof. He stepped bravely inside and was about to pass into the room adjoining the main one, when his eyes were arrested by a sparkle and then a gleam that came from a distant corner. He paused, looked again, and then made his way to the corner. Stooping down, he pushed the dirt away, unearthing the glittering thing. At first he could not see what the object was that he held in his hand, but step' ping farther into the moonlight, he saw that he was holding two tiny dice of ivory, fastened together with a golden chain, and studded with small diamond chips. Curiously he examined his discovery, for he had never seen anything quite as exquisite. It may have been fancy but a voice clear and distinct, but oddly unnatural, seemed to speak to him. Trent's heart missed a beat, though he forced himself to listen. sxsfssaxeasaxwrerae Harken well, and you shall know the story of the dice which you hold in your hand. lt was on a night just like this when Francesca de la Vega waited in this room for the coming of her lover, juan el Moreno. In another room her father, Garciasso 82 de la Vega, lay dying. For three days he lay hovering between life and death, and death apparently had won the upper hand. Francesea's thoughts wandered away to dwell upon the time. when she would be alone. Still there would always be juan to+ -- Suddenly upon her listening ears came the faint sound of hoof beats. Louder and louder they grew until at last they paused before the house. The door was flung open, and in stepped Juan-handsome, gallant, dashing-but his face was grim and ashen. As he started toward Francesca, a spasm of pain crossed his face, and doubling up, he fell to the floor, senseless, uIn a moment the girl was at his side, whispering in frightened tones. Finally he stirred and opened his eyes, Faltering, he reached out and took her hand with these words: 'Nina mia, the Iviexicans are in Ivlonterey. I managed to escape with the orders for the commander down thc coast, but I am wounded and weak from the loss of blood and I must rest before I continue. Conceal these orders as I fear for their safetyf Francesca, with hand outstretched to take the parcel, heard her name whispered from the other room. She crossed quickly to the door and saw her father stretching out his hand to her. ACome quickly,' he said, my money ........ behind left panel in ........ clock' His voice sank, and he fell back on the pillow, lifeless. uFrancesca went to the bedside and put her trembling hand over her fathers face She made a gesture as if to brush the scene aside but drew herself erect: this was no time for grief, for in the other room lay her lover, wounded perhaps dying. After covering the dead man's face, she returned to the other room. Juan was gradually regaining his strength and was sitting up, still holding the orders in his hand. Francesca gently took the packet and crossing to the clock, was about to open the panel, when it slid back, revealing a man, who stepped out quickly and bowed low. In his hand he held the money bags-Franceseas money. L' 'Ah, I see the lovely senorita did not know of the outside passage that connects with this clock,' the stranger remarked, noting the look of surprise on the girls face. 'But do not be afraidf he continued. 'I am jose Valderon dc Palcneia, you know7' he questioned. Withriut waiting for a reply, he added, 'But your friend here is wounded. Allow me to help himf Giving juan a hand, the stranger helped him into a chair, then examining the wound, the visitor rose with a smile. LDo not fear, senorita. It is but a surface wound. You have some wine, yes?' Francesca nodded and turned toward the table. Could this he the renowned bandit jose whose deeds were ringing throughout the countryside? She poured the wine into a cup and handed it to Jose, who in turn bade Juan drink. The silence was broken abruptly hy a long, loud laugh from the bandit. Juan and Francesca looked at him in astonishment with their eyes full of questioning. 83 'You think it funny that I laugh, my friends?' asked Jose when his mirth had subsided. 'I laugh when I think of telling my men I have a bride.' Francesca for the first time spoke. 'Oh, you are to be married soon?' She ne' ceived no answer, for the stranger was once more convulsed with laughter. Finally ref gaining his composure, he bowed deeply to juan, saying, 'As long as you are feeling better, my friend, I shall depart with the gold andimy bride-tofbe. I shall also deliver the orders for the soldiers, but by the time they reach Monterey, the Mexicans, or rather my men, will be gone. We are ready, yes?' He started towards Francesca, who stood watching him with abated breath. Juan straightened. 'Senor, she is my bethrothed, my Francescaf jose smiled, 'Youiare too weak to fight, but I am willing. We will dice for her.' 'I will not dice with you for my Francesca. It is insulting. I refuse,' Juan asserted angrily. The bandit's eyes flashed and the characteristic smile passed over his face. 'My friend, I think you will do as I say. We will throw for doubles, I first will try my luck.' There was silence in the room, except for the clicking of the dice, while outside the endless splash of the waves and the moaning of the wind seemed to mock the watching girl. Jose threw the dice on the table. iDiablo.' He tossed the dice contemptuously to his tense opponent. Trembling, his face drawn and white, juan threw. 'No luck.' Jose seized the dice deliberately, but again he failed to throw a double. Now it was Juan's turn. He paused to look at Francesca, and without taking his eyes from her face, he threw the dice. 'Thanks to our Lady.' On the table lay a pair of three's. Jose sprang to his feet, snatched up the dice, and dashed to the door. 'For the bridef He flung the dice and money at Francesca's feet. Tll not forget the ordersg' and with a low, graceful bow and a dazzling smile, he strode out into the night, closing the door behind him. wssaessaarauasfafse The voice paused a moment, and then continued, To the possessor of these dice will come the greatest of fortune, Guard them well for they are priceless. A cold sweat broke out over Richardson Trent's body. As the voice ceased, he passed his hand over his brow, his fingers still clasping the ivory cubes. They fascinated him, but although he wanted to fling them far from him and leave this un' natural crumbling ruin, something prompted him to keep what he had discovered. He passed out into the open again, and as he wended his way back toward Monterey, he murmured, 'kDice of the Gods. Then he quoted, Imagination, what mystic wonders thou dost weave into the hearts of men! 84 THE OLD OAK TREE By Betsy Stzfietmann HE old oak tree stood proud and tall, Against the cold and gray stone wall, And at its feet the grasses grew, Grasses green, and flowers too, Flowers red and blue and yellow, Golden poppies, rich and mellow.

And may there he no sadness of farewell, Wlieii I embark. '- -Tennyson. I1 day htving lived its short lift and played its part in this busv bustlinf f world, gives way to the evening, which finally fades and is lost in the dark shadows of night. Twilight is that time in which a day, drawing fast to a close, sees people in all walks of life, hurrying to reach home and their loved ones. It seems as if the finest of curtains has been drawn between the swiftly retreating day and the world. A hush appears to have settled over the whole land, broken only by the occasional chirp of some little bird, late in getting its head tucked under its wing, and perhaps the curtain is pierced by some tiny star bravely showing its light. Sometimes at twilight, as the shadows softly creep and deepen, and the flowers begin to lose their color and fade in the dusk, the forlorn little thought takes r0Ot in my mind that this day corresponds to the many that have preceded. For as this is the twilight of this twentyffour hour cycle, there have been similar twilights at the cnd of each day, each month, each year, and now as this one gracefully slips by so quickly that we scarcely realize that it is passing, it is gone, and thus have the years glided by into eternity. Twilight is the ending of a day with the promise of a coming one, as it is the most wonderful of all hours, so also in life twilight is the embodiment of all that is beautiful. FY NVVILIGHT is to me that gentle, beautiful, and gradual process by which a S5 THE NIGHT OF THE PARTY Qapologies to Clement Moorej By fohn Lnwden Q .,E' WAS the night of the party, and all through the ho The family was hunting to find Willie's blouse, His stockings were mended by sister with care, And his shoes were all polished and ready to wear, His pants they were ironed and his coat it was brushed, And his necktie was hanging so 'twould not be crushed, And papa in his arm chair, and I on his lap, Had just settled down for a nice little nap, When out of the bedroom there arose such a sighing, We rushed to the door to see who was dying. And what to our listening ears should we hear, But words that did bring to our eyes a great tear! Oh, goodness! oh, gracious! oh, heavens! oh, gee! Oh, where in the world can my party bloum be? Away to the attic, then dash down below, In nook and in cranny we searched high and low, But the blouse it was missing, we couldn't say where, Till papa said, shouting, Why, it's there on the chair! Will's face was now smiling, his eyes all a-twinkle, He cared not a whit that his blouse had a wrinkle, He dressed in a hurry and leaped down the stair, Grabbed his hat from the hatrack, and smoothed down his hair, And I heard him exclaim, as he dashed out of sight, Leave the door unlocked and don't put out the light, ' ,,7,,,-, ,YQ-g- AY, 7,7 THE LADY OF DURHAM MOOR By Edward Cosad ER laughter is heard in the thunder, Her wailing is heard in the wind, Vfxaygggwn And she waits in the cold, grey fogfbank With a precipice behind.

Cutside under the old oak tree sat two who seemed oblivious of the music. ragga. Beatrice, -a man's voice, Beatrice, you know why I asked you to come out here. You know I've been trying to ask you for days and days,-I want you to marry me. Oh, Bob, I'm so sorry you had to do this. It's just impossible. I told you about my dream prince, and you didn't believe me. But he's real-he's a true Austrian Count that I met last summer at Biarritz. I've kept his picture near me all the time. See, here it is in my locket. Isn't he handsome? Well, when I left for home, he promised me he would come here in one year-come after me just like young Lochinvar. That means he'll be here in three weeks. I know it's hard on you, Bob, but we will still be friends, won't we? I suppose so. But if he doesn't come-? I'll see. Oh, the music has stopped. Come in while I say goodfbye to my guests. The two stood up and walked rapidly toward the house. vfxvfxafawraeaeakaeae Bob Carlson, usually a sound sleeper, stayed awake all that night. For hours he thought of the picture that Beatrice Thorpe had shown him, the portrait of a hand' some, middlefaged man, probably an Austrian. He had a short, pointed beard, a stiff mustache, eyes that peered from under bushy eyebrows, high cheek bones, and a straight, firm mouth. For a long time Bob tried to remember where he had seen that face before, under what circumstances, and finally-who was it? Then his thoughts went back Eve long years-he was coming out of the Bay Shore Club-he and Leslie Morton. They passed out through the door, down the stairs, turning then onto the sidewalk. Then suddenly a man, a shriveled, ragged creature, jumped from behind a dark wall-flash-and Morton, with a gasp, fell to the ground. The man, with a cry of triumph, turned and started to run. just as he reached the corner, a dog which was in his way, though unseen, tried to dodge, but not being quick enough, was stepped on and gave a shrill yelp of pain. The assassin threw up his hands in terror, clutching at the empty air, and looked back at his victim, thus exposing his own face to the glare of a street light. For a fraction of a second he remained there, shivering with fear, then turned and disappeared. Then came days of search, days of hope, days of desolation, but gradually the pursuer came closer to his prey, and then--the War. Skvlsvlfisvktbkfkikilffkvlf In the next three weeks Bob Carlson planned unceasingly for revenge. Although he did not know whether his suspicions were wellffounded, he staked everything on his assumptions. If there were only something definite about it all- The three weeks elapsed. Carlson was not at all surprised when he received an invitation to a reception in honor of M. le Compte de Sarlheim. On the appointed night he prepared himself with his usual calmness, nervous only when he took' a revolver from a bureau and placed it in his pocket. 88 When he cntered the reception hall, Beatrice saw him immediately, and came over to him. Hello, Bob, she cried. Come and meet my Count. She darted off, with Bob walking slowly after her. In a moment she stopped, and turning half way around, said impressively, Count Sarlheim, allow me to present Mr. Bob Carlson, The two men looked at each other and shook hands. Bob peered again at the suave, polished nobleman, and compared him with the ragged crook. Well, he thought, uI'm wrong again. He turned away, his head down, a picture of desolation Count Sarlheimf' he heard someone say, would you kindly step aside? Thank you. He looked around just in time to see the Count step back to allow a servant to pass with a tray of food,-step back right on the tail of Beatriee's Pekingese, which gave a shrill yclp of pain. Immediately, the Count threw his hands up in terror, clutch' ing at the empty air. Like a flash, Carlson leaped forward, gun in hand. I've got you now, you-- At once, Sarlheim dropped his arms and seemed to regain his poise. Ah, you have got me, ees eet not? Then before anyone realized what had happened, the Count snatched Carlson's gun. You have got me, eh? he sneered. l'Well, you have made the big mistake. He smiled, pointed the gun at his own heart, and fired. When the smoke had cleared away, he was still standing there, swaying, but still smiling. Then summoning all his ebbing strength, he aimed steadily at the Pekingese, and said, I think I will kill heem--I hate dogs. sh THE BLUFFER By Dorothea Palamoimtain RUDE miinicry of human kind 5' In grotesque shape of man, A tattered, senseless sham you are In castfoff clothes of tan. Why stand you so immovable With glowering, frightening mien? Your very clothes belie your pose, l ask you what you mean! How carefully you guard the rows To frighten thieves away, And yet when they have dared to light, Not one word do you say. You fling your arms in every breeze, A bluffer thru and thru, And like all frauds you bluster much But really frighten few. Ah, foolish, ragged fellow, you- --- A joke for those who knowg You even give the birds a laughi- You pitiful seareerow! S9 MY SWEETHEART By Donald Parker As loy al as can be Agggglf. Her bright brown eyes look i And say 'Tm all for thee. She's never late to greet me, But always there on time To shake hands with me shyly- Whose could she be but mine? HE is my Pal and Sweetheart i u . i Together we roam the footfhills Where poppies and clover grow, And when she's tired I make a wreath Around her neck to throw, But when I'rn full of sorrow, To her my woes I tell, For she'll not betray my secrets, That's one thing I know well. Whatever the game I'm playing, She's always full of glee, And she is such a beauty The boys all envy me. We play baseball together And sometimes football too. Now honestly, what would you give To have a Pal so true? For fear you'll think I'm raving! That she's only kith or kin, I'll tell you who my pal is- She is my Police Dog Gin . She is my Pal and Sweetheart, As loyal as can be, Her bright brown eyes look into And say 'Tm all for thee. mine O0 nto mine VACATION TIME By Barbara Vhngate NCE I went afam wing ,svqgxi 3 L. l In the midst of summer time, In the high Sierra Iviountains Near an old deserted mine, i , J , In a little old log calvin, Near rippling, laughing streams, Where the days were full of pleasure, And the nights were made for dreams. I slept out in the open On a still and starry night, When the air was eool and silent, And the moon was shining brightg And the pine trees rustling softly Played a drowsy sleepy tune, While shadows vaguely moved ahout, As clouds passed o'er the moon, Then I woke and saw the dawn break On a highfup mountain steep, And the sun bathed peak and valley With colors rieh and deep, Till the grey of dawn had vanished, Taking with it in its flight, All the quiet of the morning With a flood of hrilliant light. NVhen the year is in the summer, And the day is late in June, In my heart I hear a calling-- An old familiar tune That wakes a hidden longinv b To leave the haunts of men, To see that same old camping ground And seek the trail again. -.,.4A!,, . 7, Ol 8.5 san.

He was then admitted into the union and allowed to carry on the trade he had learned- This manner of training workmen was very efficient because it was teaching a boy the trade while he was actually doing the work. In some of the colleges and universities of this country a similar plan is used in publishing their yearbook. Certain sophomores are given tasks to perform. They do their assignments, at the same time they are actually helping the staff and learning the work under experienced upper classmen. Then these sophomores that show ability are promoted, and become junior members of the staff. The editor and the busi-f ness manager of the publication are then chosen from these juniors who have served as sophomore assistants. Although this plan has been found very successful in colleges and universities, it has not been found to be practical in Piedmont High School where the publication is necessarily limited. In a small school there is not enough work to keep two staffs workingg but in the future, however, if this plan can be made feasible, it will be an important factor in the publication of a yearbook. -1 ,gg,...,t.i. OUR LIBRARY The students of Piedmont High School were handicapped for a few years because of the lack of a library. As the students sat in the bookless room, you could see them cast longing glances at the shelves where they should have been able to secure a book. An onlooker could readily see that the students were wishing for a school library. But today that wish has been realized, for the school, with the help of some public spirited citizens, has purchased hundreds of volumes, the number of books being approximately three thousand at present. The student body has already shown its appreciation for this valuable part of school life by the way it has recognized the value of a library. Eighty books on an average are taken for overnight use by the students. The students also appreciate our librarian, Miss English, who has carefully selected books that will be of the most use. Then, too, she is always willing to help any student find the book that will be of most benefit to him. With Miss English as its guide, the library is certain to be of great value to the students of Piedmont High School. A 92 SONGS FOR PIEDMONT Through the ages man has loved music, because it contained some invisible power that moved his soul. The rhythms of different time had their varied affects on man. The slow, dreamy melodies would be played to soothe him when he was tired, while a quick, distinct rhythm would be played to hasten men on in time of strife. Piedmont High School students have felt the need of school songs, consequently, a song contest has just been held. The two best songs, one a pep song and the other a hymn, will be sent to a composer, who will set the words to fitting music. Then Pied' mont High School will have the songs it has long desired. At a football game, for example, the team might be on the losing end of the score: but when the players hear the voices of their fellow students, they will fight with all their power. This spirit of fight that will be instilled in the players has won games in the past, and the same spirit will win games in the future. After the excitement of the game is over, there is nothing so inspiring as the sound of the many students singing the school hymn. THE DADS' CLUB AND THE P. T. A. The Dads' Club and the ParentfTeachers' Association have been two leading factors in the welfare of the school during the past year. Composed as they were of those most vitally interested in Piedmont High and its activities, these organizations were able to assist the students with many of their problems. The Dads' Club has met during the year to discuss various school problems, and to try to find the best solution for them. The P. T. A. has also met with the same purpose in view. The club has shown several moving pictures to secure funds for the founding of a library. With money secured in this manner the organization has equipped a library of three thousand volumes, with the number of books steadily increasing. At different meetings of these bodies the students have put on programs, thus working in conjuncion with those so interested in their institution of learning. These clubs have certainly clone commendable work this year, and through co' operation have accomplished much for the beneht of Piedmont High School. , as . THE HANDBOOK To a new student a high school is an institution of great mystery. Thcrc is always so much to learn and so many different ways of doing things that Mr. Jones has pubf lished a students' handbook. The purpose of this book is to show new students the ways and traditions of Piedmont High School. The students are also able, with the help of the book, to know the past of the school. The student, to be a good citizen of the school, must know the laws. The hand' book contains the byflaws and constitution of the school, as well as the penalties imf posed for breaking the laws. The course of study is always a big problem to the new student, but this book helps greatly by showing the course of study for every subject. Other sections of the book discuss the program for the day, the calendar for the year, suggestions for study, the Interclass Compact, the Piedmont Scotch Theme, the signihcance of the school shield, and the objectives of Piedmont High School. Mr. Jones knew the value of such a book, for students with the right start will be a great help to Piedmont High School. 93 A FULFILLMENT It is human nature to take those things which we possess for granted. Once a desire is gained after a long period of expectation and waiting, we immediately forget that we have ever gone without that which we now take for granted. This is indeed true in regard to our own junior High School. The building embodies all of the modern appliances and represents the newest ideas in school designing. Besides being very attractive from the outside, it harmonizes with the Senior High School building. The building contains many wonderful features, the pride of our heart being the wonderful new gymnasium with a seating capacity of over seven hundred, and with a complete athletic equipment. Another great attraction is the little theater which is an ideal place for the drama and public speaking classes. Then too, there is the print shop that is one of the most complete in any high school in the United States. In another part of the' building is the machine shop where a boy may learn how to make any ordinary repair with a machine. We have been looking forward to this new Junior High School for years and now that the building is completed and in use, we wonder how we could ever have been happy without it. We may truthfully say that the Junior High fulfills all of our expectations. ,YQYY 7.7 .,,.W,.7 OUR SUPERINTENDENT The man who is guiding Piedmont High School has won the admiration of the students. Mr. Harry W. Jones, who is a man of progressive ideas, believes that learn' ing should be practical. He had a definite purpose in introducing student government and organizations into the school, that of giving the pupils an opportunity to gain val' uable training in citizenship and in leadership. Piedmont, through the efforts of Mr. Jones, has had an Artists' Course for the past three years. The best in the musical world has been brought before the students, who are thus taught to appreciate the higher things in life. Mr. Jones is also a true lover of athletics. He follows the athletic calendar with keen interest, and at nearly every game he may be seen, yell leaders have spoken of our superintendent as one of our most loyal supporters. It was through his foresight that a spring basketball tournament has been held to find new men for next year's team, and to train them for the season in basketball. Again, it was Mr. Jones who organized a declamation contest and made it possible for us to become possessors of a beautiful trophy that could be presented from year to year to the fortunate winner. This contest, which was the first of its kind in this school, has been a success in every respect. What Mr. Jones has done for Piedmont High School can not be summed up in so short a space, but for the welfare of our school we hope that he may long be with us. A BETTER AIM The teacher's grade book is a mystery of wide interest throughout the school. It is the bank in which the k'one's and two's and, perhaps unfortunately, the four's, are deposited for future use. One of the unfortunate circumstances, however, which the grade book has brought about is the working for higher grades. In a majority of instances students study merely for grades without taking into consideration the fundamental principle of edu' cation-the acquisition of knowledge. If the students would work less for grades and 94 more for learning and information, they would reach the goal set for them by the men and women interested in school affairs. High grades would come as a logical result of this concentration on the principles of education. Grades are merely a symbol of the development or progress of the inf dividual's education, and are only a means of checking up on one's self. nf' THE BOARD OE EDUCATION In any community you will find some people who render great service, but who receive practically no credit for their labors. To this class belongs the Piedmont Board of Education. This Board, which includes Walter S. Brann, Mrs. Harriet A. Haas, Dr. H. D. Bell, H. Ward Dawson, and E. A. Vx'atts, has been working hard throughout the past school year in order to give the Piedmont boys and girls the best possible educational advantages. The Board has been unostentatious and has not sought to keep itself before the public eyeg all its efforts have been concentrated on securing for us the best in every line. Piedmont High School students wish, then, to express their appreciation to the Board of Education, which has done so much to promote the best interests of the younger generation of our city. THE CLANfOfLOG PUBLICATION The publication of a yearbook in any high school necessitates the cofoperation of a group working under an editor. This group need not be large, but it 1iiL1St be accurate, willing, and helpful. The staff for 1925 answered all of the abovefmentioned requiref ments in performing its duties. If it is said that the staff fulfilled its work well, it is nearly impossible to obtain a word that would describe Miss Lane's part in producing the 1925 ClanfOfI.og. Acting in her official role as faculty advisor, she instructed the staff in the fundamentals of publishing a yearbook. Miss Lane was always willing to do more than was expected of her, and we are extremely thankful that she will be in Piedmont High School to help with future editions of the ClanfOfLog. Mr. Berger, head of the printing department, was never excited when matters did not run smoothly. He would remedy the troubles, and then things would go on as before. His always present smile and helpful hand, as well as his experience as a printer, have been great factors in the publication of this book. The art department under the leadership of Mrs. Sonnenschein has done work of which Piedmont High School may well be proud. Since the art work plays an imporf tant part in a yearbook, we are extremely fortunate in having a group of willing students in this school activity. Much of the success of the literary contest may be attributed to the fact that the English teachers cofoperated to the highest degree. The poems and stories handed in are worthy of very favorable comment, and a final choice was difficult to make. It is practically impossible to publish an annual without the help and support of the office staff, In this school we were very fortunate in having such a group to work with, for when students were called from class for various purposes, the office staff was always willing to cofoperate. Mr. E. B. De Golia, Jr., of the American Engraving Company and Mrs. Mott and Ivir. Voorhees of Hartsook Studios have given excellent service in their respective work. They did their part to make the publication a success. Even though the editor realizes that words are inadequate, he wishes to express his deepest appreciation to all who have helped with the 1925 ClanfOfI.og. 03 The world,s a theatre, the earth a stage, which God and nature do with actors fillf' ,O 40?

Realistic scenery and vivid costumes added zest to the production, and several dancing skits conceived hy Lcahdell Dudley added spice to the colorful affair. The opera was also a financial success, as it was estimated that over seven hundred dollars were added to the student hody coffers. Arline, the most arduous role of this unusually difficult opera, was portrayed hy two different girls, Both Norma Lundgren, the first night, and Ivfary Jeannette Edwards, the second night, played the emotional parts well and sang heautifully in made an excellent Gypsy Queen. Hilda Humhurg, though playing a minor part, the lady in waiting on Arline, was heautiful and charming as she flirted with Arlines nohlc cousin.. Philip Stearns wellfknown talent escaped with little as Devilshoof , the leader of the gypsy hand, displayed his in some very difheult action scenes. The scene where he Arline, and cut away the bridge to prevent the soldiers from following, was especially well done. Vv7illard Van Dyke, who took the comedy role, also won the praise of the audience. His portrayal of an intoxicated person in the drunken scene was deserving of praise for not heing overdone. Willizivn Taylor, the tenor lead, and Ralph Shrader, as Arline's father, played their parts very well, Mr. Ball deserves a great deal of credit and praise for his untiring efforts and for the successful way in which he organized and directed k'The Bohemian Girl .

In the evening performance the lead was taken by Dudley Bell, who delighted the audience with his clever interpretation of Clarence. Cora and Bobby, the brother and sister who are always quarreling, were played by Grace Chapman and Willard Van Dyke. The attractive manner and splendid acting of Grace won the heart of the audience, while Vsfillard rendered a realistic interpretation of his amusing role. Mary Jeannette Edwards lent both dignity and charm to her portrayal of Miss Finney, the governess. Rowan Gaither was appropriately chosen as the father, and the splendid acting of Alice Weeks as the mother helped to make the play a success. As secretary to Mr. Wheeler, Dorothea Palamountain did some pleasing work. The role of Mr, Stem was played by Harold Kneedlcr, who made a remarkably good villian. Leahdell Dudley, as the maid, and Philip Stearns, as the butler, rendered the audience an amusing interpretation of two other characters. Under the able supervision of our dircctress, Miss Moackrud, k'Clarenee added further proof to the statement that the dramatic department of Piedmont High School is superior in every way.

MOYER ' iam Samuel L. Moyer, head of the Physical Education Department of Piedmont High School, is a true friend of the Piedmont students. His love for boys and for athletics has made him an example of what an athletic coach should be. Coming to Piedmont three years ago, Mr. Moyer had a very difficult task ahead of him. There were then many willing athletes in school, but they lacked experience and training. Mr. Moyer began organizing and teaching the fundamentals of the various sports to the boys, who were eager and quick to learn. Since that time Piedmont has had many successful teams, teams that have been feared and admired by their opponents. But behind all of Piedmont's athletic accomplishments has been the guiding hand of Mr. Moyer. COACH JOHN NAPIER O our coach, Mr. john Napier, goes the heartfelt gratitude of Piedmont High School. He is a man who shaped the Highlander's basketball team into the most powerful squad that ever defended the honor of the Purple and White. Not only is Mr. Napier a capable coach who can discipline his team with stcrnness, but he is also a sterling companion, bound to his boys with the warm hand of friendship. With all his success with Piedmont teams, his thoughts have never been on personal glory, but he has devoted his time and ability to the development of a team which would bring honor to Piedmont High. While he has never mistaken a lead for a victory, he has never taken misfortune as a loss. Refusing to be downfhearted. he instilled into the team the spirit of fight that was so outstanding. 108 7 FCOTBALL Reitieu' of Season Piedmont S If University it Bushrod Sept. 12, 1924 liedmont Zi I1 IXIeClymonds it Piedmont Scpt. 19, 192-1 Piedmont 20 C1 Technical it Technical UCL 1924 Piedmont m9 11 Mt.

Lax ern Corbin snatched up a fumble made bv a Tech player and ran Si yards for a touchdown. Stan Stevens at half hack played wonderful foothall, making two touchdowns for the Highlanders. The Bulldogs played a good game, threatening to score many times, but Piedmonts staunch defense stopped them in their tracks. The final count was Z0 to O in favor of the Highlanders. PIEDMONT vs. MT, DIABLO With a new coach and renewed ambitions the Concord boys came to Piedmont, full of fight and ready to do us battle. At end Norman Donant distinguished himself and played a fine game, snagging many long passes, and scoring on two of them. The Diablo line was outrushed and could not stop the Highland backs, who plunged toward their opponents' goal. Both Captain Eastwood and Gil Vxleeks played a good game and added to the scoring. Wlieii the final gun sounded, Piedmont was the victor by the score of 39 to O. .1119 Football Squad The ner, Donant, Beadle, Sanborn, Gaither, UXYL ndrews, R , A Corbin elqer, eh Matthews, Farr, N Coach Karnes, Ray, Schmidt, OW!

Corbin starred in this uninteresting contest by consistently breaking up the shift plays which the Hayward team attempted to use. Norman Donant, receiving a long pass, made the first score, and Clint Eastwood did the rest of the point' getting for Piedmont on line bucks and converts. Hayward had been in the A. C. A. L. at the beginning of the season but dropped out of the league after playing Piedmont, thus robbing the Highlanders of a league victory. PIEDMONT vs. ALAMEDA Hard luck and a bit of overeonfidenee were partly responsible for the downfall of the Highlanders in the game with the Eneinal boys. There were no stars in the conflict, but the line as a whole deserves credit for the fighting spirit shown. Captain Eastwood aeeounted for the scoring when on two oeeasions he crossed the Alameda goal line. The tally was 21 to I2 in favor of Alameda. PIEDMONT vs. BERKELEY The Berkeley game was played in a driving rain storm and in a sea of mud. These handicaps, however, did not drown the spirit of the Highlanders, who fought until the last gun went off. The heavy Yellowjaekets did much to stop line plunges, and the soggy ball was too slippery to pass. Every man on the Piedmont team played his best in this contest, but his eiforts we1'e of no avail in stopping the State Champions in their drive to the Highland goal. The game was closer and more hotly eontested than the '20 to O score would indicate. in N - I X ' x ?f,g?i2i1 g v 4 ' s 'Mai' i' FOOTBALL OPTIMO Won by Clinton Eastwood in 1924 111 FOOTBALL john Martin, Tackle Norman Donant, End Howard Beadle, End Stanley Stevens, Halfback Melvin Runner, 'Tackle Clinton Eastwood, Fullback Lavern Corbin, Center Philip Ray, Halfback lcaptainy Merrill Reynolds, .Quarterbac George Sanborn, Tackle Blake Wharton, Tackle 112 FOOTBALL 4- x' , - -1- J! f , S 9 Q: -.K ,Mfg . ,f 1 . , . ,ff 'u x ' , '5'- wa N ,f 'J ' x fi , ,..

IVIQCLYTNTONDS Living up to its old reputation, Piedmont eame out from the first hattle of the season with flying eolors hy defeating lVleClymonds' warriors 44 to 16. Piedmont's hasketeers overwhelmed the Meehaiiies with their indomitahle fighting spirit and with the scoring of the first hoop were never headed from beginning to end. PIEDMONT Vs. FREMONT Another vietory ehalked up! With the rough edges heing rapidly worn down, john Napiers aggregation decisively defeated Fremont in a onefsided eontest, Piedmont taking the lead from the start and ever increasing it to the last. Like true warriors, the Highlanders never mistook a lead for a vietory and eontinued hammering at their foes, swamping them in great style. PIEDMONT vs, TECHNICAL Piedmont's baslceteersmen added another conquest to their total hy defeating their old enemies from Teehnieal High 34 to 17. Contrary to what the seore would suggest, the fray was a fast and spirited one, although Piedmont was in the lead the entire game.

CALIFORNIA FROSH The Highlanders went down in glorious defeat to the strong Frosh five from California University but fought hard till the last seeond of play. Although defeated, the Highlanders may boast that they gave the Frosh a elose fight and were dangerous throughout the game as they were near vietory time and again. PIEDMONT VS. STANFORD FROSH Again Piedm0nt's Highlanders fought to the top and hrought home another glorious vietory to add to their list. It was a nip and tuek hattle, both teams giving all they had, and continually raising the fans to their feet in exeitement. Witli the last report of the gun, Piedmonfs basketeers had nosed out the Redshirts with a one point lead, thus ending one of the most exeiting games of the season. PIEDMONT vs. UNIVERSITY Playing up to their old standard, PICLIHIOHIIS hoopsters defeated the Uni team 22 to IO. Piedmont outplayed the Blue and Gold team from heginning to end and were never in danger, always keeping on the long end of the score. PIEDIVIONT VS. UAKLANI3 Piedmont again demonstrated her superiority over neighhoring schools hy send' ing Oakland High to defeat, The Highlanders, who won an easy victory over the Aeorns, were never in danger and remained in the lead the entire game. PIEDMUNT vs. S. F. POLYTECHNICAL John Napier's hoopsters defeated the Polyteeh five in a spirited game hy the seore of 33 to 24. Though the score may not show it, this game demanded all the fight and pep of the Piedmont five to bring vietory. Poly's rally in the la:-t half kept hoth the team and the stand on their toes till the very last. PIEDMONT vs. CONCORD The Highland five onee more invaded the enemy! eamp to hring home another sealp to add to their string. In true style the Piedmont lmys were olf on the jump and kept their opponents headed throughout the game. PIEDMONT VS MISSION The Mission High hoys, who were no mateh for the Highlanders, were easily def feated 29 to 7. In the onefsided game Piedmont walked through her opponents and hung up the first vietory in the new Gym, therehy christening it in true Piedmont style, much to the diseomfiture of Mission High, PIEDMONT vs. BERKELEY In the first Berkeley game, Berkeley eame out the vietors hy only 5 points, know' ing she had met a team worthy of recognition, It was a spirited game of give and take, one team heing in the lead, then the other, with the outeome in the halanee to the last.

The Highlanders were never bc once uthered by the Hayward five, who sccmed utterly at sea, and allowed them but a scant 3 points. PIEDMONT vs. BERKELEY With vengeance in their hearts, the Highland five destroyed their enemy's def fense and avenged their defeat of the previous week by a score of 36 to 13. With the sinking of the first basket, the Piedmont team jumped to the lead which it increased during the game, thus making the series even. PIEDMONT vs. BERKELEY The Highland warriors, quick to seize opportunity, forced the Berkeley five to take defeat again, thus proving themselves worthy of entrance in the contest for the state championship-the first time in the history of Piedmont High School. This was even a more decisive victory than the first, the Redshirts being outplaycd in every stage of the game. PIEDMONT vs, ALHAMBRA In the first game for the state championship, Piedmont gave the boys from .lVIartinez a decided trimming. Though not playing their best, the Piedmont five out' classed their opponents from the start and won an easy victory, keeping the enemy continually at their mercy. PIEDMCNT Vs. CALIFORNIA l4i's Although defeated, the Piedmont quintet is deserving of great credit for the peppy battle they put up against their opponents. Contrary to what the score may su-f-fest 55 7 the California l4i's needed every effort to overcome the Piedmont Highlanders as they continued their old fight to the last gun. PIEDMONT VS. CALIFORNIA l4i's Coming back stronger than ever, the Piedmont warriors sprang a surprise by overcoming the California l45's in the last few moments of play by a score of 24 to 20. Despite the loss of Lavern Corbin, the Highlanders, under the excellent coaching of Mr. Napier, displayed uncanny accuracy, sinking the most difficult of shots. PIEDIVIONT VS.

Piedmont's name has been inscribed high on the scroll of hasketball fame and has come to be one that is feared and respected throughout the state. The Alameda County Athletic League Championship was won, and Piedmont advanced into the state championship playfotfs for the first time in history. Although finally defeated by Napa in a game where the breaks were all against us, the Piedmont boys defeated Alhambra High of Martinev tl A eb ' ' h' ' , -, iere y winning t e championship of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Alhambra defeated Palo Alto High, champions of the Peninsula Athletic League, on Palys own floorg therefore, Piedmonts team rated better than any high school team on the peninsula. Piedmont again defeated every Oakland high school team, and can claim the unofficial Oakland Athletic League Championship. The Highlanders were the only high school team in two years to defeat the strong Stanford Freshmen, who defeated Stockton, state champions for this year, the California Frosh, and all other teams played in the 192-111925 season. As Piedmont was eliminated from the state title play in a hard luck game, and dropped a hard fought game to the California Frosh, this defeat of the Stanford Frosh partly atones for the seasons only reverses. The Highlanders seem to have a habit of marring the otherwise good records of the California and Stanford Freshman, for it can be recalled that Piedmont was the team that defeated the California Frosh last year, this being the first game lost by the Frosh to a high school team for many years. Piedmont had the signal honor of defeating the University of California 145's, a team which can be compared with minor college teams: thus Piedmont broke a record that had never been marred before by any high school team.. It will be seen from the foregoing that Piedmonts record is indeed remarkable, a record that will be very hard to equal in years to come. Wlietlier or not it will he equalled or surpassed depends upon the Piedmont student body and the Piedmont spirit, They must not and cannot fail! f X , ya' x BASKETBALL OPTIMO VVUH by Lavern Corbin in 1925 121 Squad The Baseball Ball. adenfeldt, San hom, H s vu 4.- s Q Q-4 Bvian, A no 2 6 3 r.

The Piedmont team led 5 to 'l until the fourth inning. when the Freshmen rallied and held the lead until the end of the contest. PIEDMONT vs. CONCORDIA COLLEGE Although heaten in this fray, the team showed a great improvement in their playing as compared to that in the Frosh game. Johnson and Gowing twirled for the Highlanders and did well to hold their opponents to the score of-I to 0. PIEDMONT vs, TECHNICAL The third game of the season resulted in a decisive victory for our old enemy, Tech. The Oakland hoys had too much classg therefore the Highlanders bowed Before them to the score of IS to I, Piedmont played this game minus the services of several stars. PIEDMONT vs, ROOSEVELT Charles Hadenfeldt, first sacker for the Highlanders, won the game for Piedmont with a home run in the ninth inning, Vern Corhin pitched for Piedmont and did very well considering the fact that it was his first attempt this season, The final score was in the HighlandersI favor 4 to 2. PIEDMONT vs. FREMONT The second victory for Piedmont was over the Boulevard players, who were the victims in a game in which the score was 4 to O. The boys showed fine teamwork in this game and hit much hetter than ever hefore this season. PIEDMONT vs. MCCLYMON DS Capt. Brian was the only one to score in this uninteresting game in which the Highlanders were the victors to the score of I to O. The Held was muddy and the lull failed to roll. Vern Corhin pitched a nofhit, nofrun game, proving his ability. Ii!!! PIEDMONT vs. ALAMEDA Alameda, Piedmont's first league opponent, showed the effects of their long pracf tice season and outfhit the Highlanders who were at a loss on the strange field. Vern Corbin twirled, allowing ten hits, but he was poorly supported, and Alameda, as a result, scored 9 runs to Piedmont's O. PIEDMONT vs. BERKELEY The Yellowjackets defeated the Highlanders in a very exciting contest in which the victor was not determined until the last of the game. Vern Corbin and Al johnson pitched well, but their efforts went astray when Berkeley hit the ball continually. Jeff Grimme, the midget outfielder of the Highland players, knocked a homefrun with the bases loaded for one of the game's many thrills. The Hnal score was 15 to 11 in Berkeley's favor. , PIEDMONT vs. HAYWARD Hayward's baseball team went back home a beaten aggregation after a close game with Mr. Moyer's boys. The Highlanders demonstrated fine teamwork and did not chalk up as many errors as in previous games. The hitting had improved, and it was a determined lot of players who battled to a 4 to 1 score with the Farmers. PIEDMONT vs. ALAMEDA Innumerable errors featured this game. Although the game was slow, it was pepped up by spurts of excellent ball playing. The hurling of Al Johnson was much better than was that of the Encinal twirler, who had fine support. The hitting on both sides was the best of the season, and many hits were chalked up in this 19 to 8 score in Alameda's favor. PIEDMONT vs. BERKELEY Two home runs, a triple, a double, and ten singles were in Piedmont's possesf sion at the end of this battle with the Yellowjackets. The Highlanders battled Berkeley for nine innings and were finally beaten out by the score of 12 to 11. Bob Gowing pitched after the fifth inning, but fared poorly because of lack of experience. PIEDMONT vs. HAYWARD Coming back in the final league contest, the Piedmont Highlanders whipped the Farmers. To the team as a whole goes the credit for saving Piedmont from last berth in the race. Lavern Corbin pitched a good game, allowing only two runs for Hay' ward. The final count was 8 to 2 with Piedmont the winner.

Perhaps the reason that these teams do not get the full support of the student body is that the baseball season runs well up into this time and the interest has to be divided between the three. SPRING ATHLETICS V, N Piedmont High School very little attention is paid to spring athletics. llllf ' t TENNIS Although there were no cheering mobs to urge Piedmont's net champions on to victory, these Highlanders gave all they had in batting the ball across the net to bring home to Piedmont High School the tennis championship of the Alameda County Athletic League, the first event of its kind in Piedrnont's history. Captain McKee and his team mates, Grimmie, Hardy, Corbin, and Bonestell, deserve great credit for their prowess with the racquets. 126 The preliminary season, though not one to he hoastcd of, was not an inglorious one, for Piedmont was up against strong teams. The California Frosh defeated Pied' mont 6f0, Technical High took Piedmont into camp hy a score of 4f2. Piedmont lost to University High ffl. Piedmont's first victory was over Oakland High VZ. The tilt with the White's Prep was a tie 313. ln the A. C. A. L contest Piedmont came first, Alameda second, and Berkeley third. TRACK Piedmont's Trackstcrs, under the leadership of the fleetffooted Dudley Bell, have successfully upheld l'icdmont's honor on the cinder path hy their display of grit and fight throughout the track season. Victor Metcalf showed wonderful ahility in the quarter mile and the high jump, Dud Bell, Piedmont's fast captain, continually defeated his rivals in the 100 and 220 dashes, Weeks and Farr were hy no means slow, Weeks continually placing in the 100 and displaying his ahility in the hroad and high jumps. Farr showed to good advantage in the half mile and relay. Don Flangus, though coming out late in the season, proved an asset to Piedmont with his fast pace. Emil Schmidt, the mighty one, continually added points to Piedmont's score hy placing in the shot put and discus. Tom Murphy, with no experience, surprised all hy his deftness with the javelin. Frazier pressed his opponents hard in the 440, and Gaither and Van Dyke did some good work in the half mile and mile races. Following is a record of the track season: ROOSEVELT MEET Piedmont won her first track meet of the season hy defeating Roosevelt 4764. Dudley Bell was off on a poor start in the 100 dash and finished a close second. He came hack to win the 220 later. Victor Metcalf was high point man with 14 markers, taking the high jump, thc 440, and heing third in the hroad jump and second in the mile. A. C. A. L. Piedmont came in the tail end of this meet as Berkeley was first, Alameda second, and Hayward third. Emil Schmidt was Piedmont's high point man, ohtaining 4 points. Victor Metcalf showed some splendid work in winning a second place in the 440. RICHMOND MEET Richmond was forced to take defeat in the hands of Piedmont's traeksters, 51145. Bell took first in hoth the 100 and 220 dashes. Farr tied for first in the half mile. Metcalf took the 440 and Schmidt won the shot put. The work of Weeks and Metcalf in the hroad and high jump proved a great aid. HAYWARD MEET The last meet of the season ended in defeat for the Highlanders at the hands of the Farmers hy a score of 9457. Bell, as usual, took first in the 100 and 220 dashes. Gilbert Weeks took the hurdles and was third in the hroad jump. Metcalf won the 440 and came third in the high jump. Schmidt took first in the shotfput and third in discus, while Tom Murphy won the javelin, 127 With The Team 128 'ff fl: 'Q-'ch ' 'L' w- 3 ec 1 fi 3-A -f Mc ff Q -. ef.

Its aim is to promote general good fellow' Q 1 . . . . s ip among the girls of all ages and classes, and to further their physical wellfbeing. The oliicers for th e past year were: first semester, Betty Stevenson, president, Barbara Lee, vice president: Frances Freeman, secretary: second semester, Avice Saint, presidentg Barbara Lee, secretary. Interscholastie competition is not permitted by the Piedmont Girls' Athletic SSOLISIIOII, but a series of interclass games is fostered. Withcmut inflicting the injury that might result from rivalry between schools, these games instill pep, a fighting spirit, and class loyalty, In this way, too, all the girls have a chance to receive valf uable training in sportsmanship and in physical training. In accordance with this ruling, interclass games have been played throughout the year. During the first term the basketball series was played Wediiesday after' noons on the outdoor court. After several hardffought games, the seniors, with Betty Stevenson as their captain, won the interclass championship. The volleyball series was played at noon on T I f . d Th uescny an ursdays. The seniors under the leader' ship of Betty Stevenson were again triumphant over the lower classmen. The juniors captained by Pauline Wise, won the tennis tournament. ln the swimming meet the junior High team was victorious. At the time of writing this article, the interclass games for the second semester had not been played. The baseball captains were: Virginia Currie, seniorg Jeanne Muller, junior' lean Lackey sophomore- and Barbara Lu White, junior high. The volleyball captain were: Dorothea Palamountain, seniorg Mary Glockler, junior: Clarice Hughes, sophomore: and Kathleen Hibbard, junior high. Every girl in high school is a member of this organization, no fee nor qualiications being required.

IZ9 Officers of the Givls' Athletic Association AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES . VERY girl in every sport. Thatis the motto at Piedmont High and the L school will soon be famous for the number of girls who are actually taking part in athletics after school. The sports do not go by seasons but are carried on throughout the year, a different sport every night so that every girl can choose something she really enjoys. Some come out for everything by playing tennis and by hiking on week ends. BASEBALL Virginia Currie, baseball manager for the fall semester, and Dorothy Stevens, manager for the spring terrn, had their hands full umpiring games every Tuesday 130 night. Not all the shrieks, however, that came from the diamond registered joy over home runs. Some meant despair at grounders rolling over the canyons edge, even though the heroines who pursued the balls received hiking credit. SKATING Skating at Idora rink, which was reserved every Thursday afternoon for Piedf mont girls, drew the largest attendance of any sport, over one hundred girls being on the floor at one time, some of them standing. Even the faculty joined the merry whirl, among those seen at the rink were Miss Foat, Miss Boardman, and Mrs. May lxiarjorie Castle and Ione Dennis were the efficient managers during the fall and the spring term, respectively. BASKETBALL Basketball has been ably managed this year by Helen Baker, the first term and by Mary Dieckinann, the second. During the fall semester the girls played on the outdoor court, and the latter half ofthe spring term they spent their Wedziesdxiy after' noons on the floor of the long desired gymnasium. This being probably the most strenuous of the sports offered the girls at Piedmont High, the junior high had the strongest turnout, although the senior high had a few regular representatives. SWIMMING Marjorie Curdts, manager for the fall term and Mary Glockler, manager for the spring semester, were able to procure on Monday afternoons reduced rates for the use of the Y. W. C. A. pool for the Piedmont mermaids. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball, like basketball, was played on the outdoor court the fall term, and in the gymnasium the latter halt' of the spring semester, for the first half the floor being given to the practice of the boys' basketball team. Under the efficient leadership of Harriet Brian this was a most interesting sport, the three courts on the gym floor making it possible to have inter-class games and afterfschool practice at the same time. HIKING 1 received in hiking is obtained from outside sources, many of the girls living far enough away from school to receive points for walking from home and hack again. Fannie Dalziel, manager, planned a number of supper hikes that were real treats to those who were fortunate enough to be along. GOLF Golf is a truly individual sport hut many girls have received points for playing this after school or over the weekfend, Barbara Wiiigzite was manager for the fall term, Barbara Lee, manager for the spring semester, distinguished herself by making the first flight of the California VVomen's Championship tournament held on the Lake Merced course in San Francisco. She also won the consolation trophy of this tour! nament. Most of the eredt RIDING The junior high riding club, managed by janet Hutchinson, was especially for' tunate in learning to bounce up and down and say VV'hoa in French, as Miss Alexander, of the French department, chaperoned their many gallops over the bridle trails in the Piedmont hills. The senior high riding club, also managed by janet Hutchinson, enjoyed many trips in the hills on Mr, Davies' spirited horses. 131 DANCING The aesthetic dancing class of Leahdell Dudley proved a great success, but to the sorrow of many applicants the enrollment was limited to twenty girls of the junior high. TENNIS Barbara Lee, manager for the fall term, organized a progressive tennis tour' nament and another was organized in the spring by the manager, Barbara Wingate. The lack of courts proved a great handicap in the playing of the matches, the Boy Scout court and the Havens School court being available only on certain days of the week. ROWING Rowing practice on Lake Merritt, under the direction of manager Theresa Golden, was held intermittently on Thursday afternoons, the weather permitting. The jun- ior high girls made the best showing in this sport. ARCHERY For the last two years there has been an archery manager but no archery. This term Violet Bordson, manager, was able to establish archery as a sport at Piedmont High School. The Student Body Board of Control donated funds to the G. A. A. with which to buy necessary equipment for interclass contests. This done, students from the University of California, prohcient in the art of shooting with bows and arrows, were secured to speak to the girls on the subject of archery and to demonstrate correct form. This, the newest sport, has proved very popular, especially with the senior high. At first the target was rather hard to hit, but the modern Dianas are fast improving their aim. MM4g7,M-.1 THE CONVENTION MQ? HE East Bay Federation of Girls' Athletic Associations of Public High Schools met at Piedmont High School on Saturday, May 16 The high school federation members are as follows: Alameda, Berkeley, Fremont, McClyf monds, Oakland, Piedmont, Richmond, Roosevelt, Technical, and University. The delegates registered at 9:30. At 10:00, the social hour for visiting delegates, the closed meeting for ofhcial delegates, and the conference of physical directors began.

There's a cyclist whose last name is Bain. On pedestrians he looks with disdain, Though in accidents plenty- As many as twenty- His love for the sport does not wane. There's a senior who answers to Seawell-- In the eyes of his teachers a jewel. He cried out, Alas, I fear I won't pass, But to fail me this time would be cruel. Quite a youth on the stage is Bill Kuder, Who smiled at a maid as he wooed her! Billy said, 'iIn a play I seem to be gayg In real life I would feel an intruder. A stoutish young lad is L. Reis. He gives none of his friends any peace, He talks all the while In a juvenile style, Some day we'll call in the police. Let us mention the youth-Melvin Runner, For looks some think him a stunnerg When he settled his mind That a lassie he'd find, Without any trouble he won her. There's Andrews we often call Stew , Who is bashful as seen by his hue. No foe can affright This lad of great might, But his blushes he cannot subdue. Our print shop has a devil called john, He loves an inky, old apron to dong Wagner labors all day Without any pay, But without him no work could go on. Ralph's a senior whose last name is Shrader For years through our halls a paraderg For one of his age, He's expert on the stage, But of work he is sure an evader. Next, Reynolds whose first name is Merrill Whose hair lies so neatly in curl, And though he's not tall, He's a whizz in football, Not yet has he looked at a girl. There's joe whose surname is Sweyd, The snaps in this book he has made. He's seen in the lobby, A kodak his hobby, Great skill at his job he's displayed. There's Rowan, more often called Gaither Who sailed with the crew of the Mather When the captain said, Work, Let me see no one shirk , It was Rowan who answered, Ay, ay, sirl' There is Tiny , whose last name is Weir He is growing a foot every year. George said, To be tall Is not bad at all, But I'll never quit growing, I fear. There's a youth named Dudley P. Bell, On the track he's like a gazelle. He once undertook To edit a book, Then for months he was kept in a cell. 142 mf- in , , , ,do YOUNG men set the fashions in America and we have the styles for them shoes of the mmm fm the Dainty Mas X .

G Fu ri TEN YEARS -DEP ENUAB LE Exceptional dependability has been a char- acteristic of Dodge Brothers Motor Car since the day the first of these sturdy cars was marketed. Not once in adecade has it failed to uphold and enhance its reputation for faithful per- formance. The reason for its consistent goodness and continued betterment points directly back to the ideals of the founders. Instead of fluctuating between an endless series of annual models, they determined to concentrate on the perfection of a single chassis. Dodge Brothers Motor Car today is the embodiment of that ideal-an ideal that will endure as long as the institution itself. J. E. FRENCH CO.
