The f ounders of this city and the people who later made their homes here have had, as their aim, the creation of a desirable residential district. A full realization of this goal is seen in the excellent city government, the community buildings, and the school system, which stand as a monument to the endeavors of our public-spirited citizens. Just as the citizens have striven to establish the finest type of city, so have the student bodies of Piedmont High School, in the past fourteen years, tried to incorporate in their school all that is implied in the motto, icAchieve the Honorable? We, the staff of this annual, which we here present to both school and city, have attempted to represent accurately the past school year, and at the same time to pay tribute to Piedmont and its Citizens. ...... ...... ...... ,,,,,,, CHAPTERI PROLOGUE VIEW OF THE AUDITORIUM WITHIN THESE WALLS DRAMATIC ARTS PREVAIL L ,m Aan mm NO E0 MT RM 0 NW mm TG f , '.'-...-.-.-4 ,' .! 9.05.... -1 4t4K 2cva ' 3:5: ' 1 : $ '1.,5' 9525:. 4 win Nah 2' Ff : u ?WTLE'HV 1' , h ,,xu, ,,,,,.' .- THE WORLD WAR MEMORIAL, A SYMBOL OF SACRIFICE um..- M N 1mmva'37- T77 1 I . ::-!r.:;t-..da;hse;xuw r 'T HTN... .. ,., . m. a. m - n-Mw-mmdnw arm: un- 71. .

W. JONES I Superintendent and Principal n9 OUR CITY AND OUR SCHOOL THE CITY OF PIEDMONT, as a theme for this year-book, is a most appropriate one. The early founders of Piedmont were moved by an ambition Which has become traditional With the citizens of Piedmont, to make their city one of the finest and most attractive from the standpoint of home environment. Piedmontls first requisite as a line residential district is fine schools, Which offer its youth the opportunity and the training to develop those sterling qualities of character, mentality, and honor Which form the best preparation for a useful and happy life. With this end in view the organization and ideals of Piedmont High School have been molded. The splendid responsiveness and success of this student body during the year, in its attempt to realize these ideals, has made this year one of the most notable in the life of Piedmont High School. The exceptional chronicle of Clan life set forth in this volume is not only a monument of credit to the individual and collective efforts of this student body during this school year, but it is also abundant evidence of the fact that the youth of Piedmont are achieving the high ideals of their school and city. With pride in this accomplishment I Wish to extend to this student body congratulations and an expression of highest praise. No word of recognition for this excellent year would be complete Without the highest commendation to the members of the Piedmont High School faculty for their intelligent industry and devotion in leading and directing the activities of the student body during the year. To the Clan-O-Log staff, Who have created this unusually fine chronicle of the school year, I wish to bespeak the admiration and grati- tude of our appreciative Highland Clan. 1K Xgmm ...... ..... ...... ......

'Paul Lerch holds. the record, hav- i113; ricegeg the honor no less than three t1mes, Wh11e J1m Helmer, Zabriskie Buck, and Marvin Pomeroy have each held the office twice. Starting off our flrst semester With the old Highland spirit, we elected Jim Helmer, who graduated in December, as our f1rst pres1dent. Zabriskie Buck, who has graduated from Vacav1lle ngh School, followed Jim as the next leader of our class. Seventh graders as we were, we felt the need of improvements in Piedmont High School, and saw that we were the logical ones to make them. Our nrst contribution was the idea of special seventh grade assemblies, theoretically to relieve overcrowded conditions in the main auditorium, but really because we felt that our own assemblies would be better for us. While we were in the seventh grade, the f1rst edition of the ttHighland Piper was published with many articles by mem- bers of our class. Prior to this, there had been talk of such a publication, but it was not until 1929, When our literary talent was part of the school, that the project could be carried out. Upon entering the senior high, we elected little Bob Oliver as our preSIdent. Paul Lerch then started his series of, :presidencies by heading the class the next semester. Although we were only freshmen at the time, such people as Don Gregory, Dick Lyon, Jim Helmer, and others were already promlnent in athletics. Our outstanding achievement while fresh- men was .the founding and organizing of the Gamma Gaels, freshman honor s001ety. Our ch01ce for president as sophomores was Ben Fischer, WhO grad- uated last June. Raul Lerch was again 'chosen to be leader the next semester. J ohn Er1chson showed the school that, although only a SOPhO' more, he could star on the varsity basketball squad. During our year as juniors we s ' . t. , pent most of our t1me 1n repara 19H gcfwr 153:: :1th year as members of the leading class.

With our eagerness to be the first among the student affairs of the school, we feel sure that we are capable of filling the prominent positions as seniors forthecommg year. We hatre helped in every way possible to uphold the hlgh ideals Of: the school, With many of our members listed on the honor roll, in the varlous student activities, and in numerous sports of the Clan. With John Erichson and Bob Haynes as presidents for the fall and spring semesters, respectively, we have established a record, equivalent, we are certain, to that .of the present seniors. Each year the junior girls have shown great interest in the activities of the Hoan Club, and this year again many of our members dressed dolls during the Christmas season for the party given for Charity Children in the Club room, under the chairmanship of Barbara Alexander. Next year the editor of. the Clan-O-Log must be taken from the junior class, and he will probably be chosenfrom the present members of the staff. This is a challenge to all juniors who have the desire to become the editor, to work hard and show their zeal. Among the boys, Herbert Denk, John Erichson, Jimmie Porter and Harold Booth have excelled in football; John Erichson, Bill Dreyer and Lew Staehle have excelled in basketball; Sol Davis, Ralph De Puy and Jim Newell 1n tennis; Harry Gibson in golf; Dick Bale, Jim Porter, Sid New- som, Sol Davis, and Harry J ackson in track. As a class we have supported the 1various sales that come under the ggspices 0f the student body and have headed the list for enthusiasm and As the comirig senior class of 1935, we wish to say to the lower class- m'? that we realize the responsibility that is soon to be ours and that we w1 strlve to help govern the school to the best of our ability CLASS OFFICERS FALL 1933 ' - President Vice-President John Erichson - Elizabeth Helmer Ste 6 Wm Barlblai': ,Ar? seind - - Secretary exan er . il Bob Haynes - . .. ..

We are now looking forward to holding pos1t10ns 1n the student government and seats on the Board of Control. During our first two years we have shown, through our class activities, that Ernest Atkmson and Paul Slattery, as our respective presidents, are worthy leaders for any class to possess, As yet, the boys of our class have had little opportunity, because of their age, to be on athletic teams other than the B team. Among our repre- sentatives in sports have been Dudley Morgan, Nathan Hellman, and Bernard Goldstein on the B basketball squad, and Ed Radtke on the track team. The girls of our class have been unable to enten the English P as yet, but we are participating in many sports 1n order to earn points re- quired for entrance. The Hoan Club has had our full support through our representatives on the Girls, Council, Barbara Belcher and J anet Watson for the fall and spring respectively. None of the members of our class has held any of the higher offices in the Hoan Club; so we are looking forward to this privilege in our junior and senior years. So far we have not had a chance to enter the Alpha Clan, but we have been preparing ourselves for this honor through our work in connection with the Beta Scots and Gamma Gaels. Much of the success of the Gamma Gaels during the past year was due to the fine leadership of Dick Foster and Betty Curran, the presidents of this organization for the fall and spring semesters respectively. Through our first two years in Piedmont High School we have shown, we trust, by our scholarship and our school activities that we can carry. on the good name of our school during the next two years, when we shall be leaders. In our junior and senior years we are looking forward to plaV- mg 0? Yars1ty teams, to being on the Clan-O-Log and Highlander staff, t0.galnlng entrance into the English P. Block P. and Alpha Clan, and to being members of the Board of Control. It is with awe and anticipation that we enter our junior and senior years; and as upper classmeni we will do our best to uphold the traditions of Piedmont High School.

W53 have roved in this year, we hope, that our members are capable of leadlpg the school in future years. Many of our classmates have already contrlbuted to honor societies, arts, and other act1v1t1es. The girls of the freshman class have been particularly active. Serving as representatives on the Girls Coun01l were Clare Lew1s and J ane Town- send during the fall and spring semesters respectlvely. Alleen Layne and Jane Turner were the girls chosen to serve on the Scrap Book Committee of the Hoan Club. It is the duty of the freshman glrls to close every senior farewell assembly by forming the fiower recessional. The Gamma Gaels, the freshman and sophomore honor organization, contains many of our members who will be the future leaders in all student body affairs. This organization was presided over by capable leaders dur- ing the past two semesters. The various committees were in charge of competent students who successfully carried out their duties. The Gamma Gaels is a link between the Beta Scots and the Alpha Clan and prepares its members for the highest honor organization of all. Freshman boys have practised diligently at all sports, but, of course, we can not be expected to hold the spotlight varsity team positions that are held by the seniors and juniors. Brad Rutledge, Warren Craig, Don McFarland and Don Barbour will soon be leaders in track, however; and Fred Muller is a future football star. We have always lent our vocal sup- port to the success of our winning teams. There has been a large turnout for after-school sports by the freshman girls this year, the enthusiasm of our class always helping to overcome our lack of experience. We hope the entire student body is proud of our success, and we are oertaln our class will stand high among others. The members of the passmg freshman class ?leave behind them a record which is a decided challenge to all future freshman classes. During our sophomore, junior, and senlor years may this record remain-a record of great achievement.

Ih every junior high sport we have taken active part, among these sportsbemg basketball, track, tennis, and swimming. We have also had a Junlor hlgh football team. This past year, we have had some very interesting assemblies put on by our Commissioners of Entertainment, Corwm J ohnson 1n the fall sem- ester and Jean Witter in the spring. Rallies full of pep and enthus1asm were under the direction of Bud Hughes in the first half of the year, and Chris Fox in the latter half. At Christmas time, the Hoan sponsors a Christmas party for the orphan children. Last December our girls took active part 1n maklng stockings and cakes. This work was under the direction of Patsy Nelson, our Girlst Council representative in the fall. In the spring an Easter egg hunt was given. Our girls had charge of this activity and the hunt was directed by Cherie Sutton, Girls, Council member, in the spring. Our high eighth grade with its one hundred thirty-seven members has been the largest class that the junior high has ever had. Let us hope that in 1938. we will have the honor of being the largest class to be graduated from Pledmont High School.

ThIS goal can be attamed by our fol- lowing the motto, itAchieve the Honorable. Beta Scots, the Junior High Honor organization, is our first aim. To be a member is an honor for which every seventh grade member is striv- ing. As we enter the higher grades, the Gamma Gaels Will be our aim; and we hope finally to have a large membership in Alpha Clan. The Student Body Card sale has had our support, just as the Celebrity Series and all the other undertakings of the school have had our willing cooperation. This spring our main task Will be that of living up to the high standards set by last years class in its work on a skit at Carnival time. Our girls have already shown an active interest in the Hoan Club; the House Committee is composed entirely of seventh graders, the chair- man for the spring and fall being Irma Firestone and Barbara Seulberger. Our girls are also serving on other Hoan committees. For us the Music Department proves a great attraction. Several musically inclined members will soon draw great attention in the Senior Orchestra. We were highly honored by being asked to help compose the choir for the Baccalaureate service for graduation. No longer do we follow the methods of grammar school discipline, for we now have student government in assemblies, in the hall, and through- 211:1: our school life. The Block J , a miniature copy of the Block P, takes arge. Many responsibilities of the future are laid upon our shoulders; not only must we uphold the standards of the classes, but, as leaders, we must initiate something new into school life. To 1939, therefore, we are 311 ookmg w1th great anticipation.

HOAN CLUB ORE THAN EVER, the Hoan Club this year has been the personifica- M tion of its motto: ttHelp One Another? Every glrl is proud to be a member of this organization and has tr1ed to the best of her ability to uphold her part in the program of the club. The Girls Council, whose members are elected by popular vote, one from each grade, has planned and earned out many new uileas under the guidance of Miss 0,Conn0r and the leadershlp of Pres1dent Dorothy Udsmann' CHARITIES Perhaps the most important activity of the Hoan Club this past year was the sponsoring of ttGift Day? Wlth Frances Chase as chairman and Ruth Fitzpatrick as her assistant, forty-Iive heedy famllles were supplied with food, clothing, fuel, etc. The slogan th1s year was iiNeedy Require Aid, an idea which came from the NRA. At Christmas time thirty little children, who otherwise would have had no Christmas, were entertained by Santa Claus, impersonated by Mr. Clarence Johnson, who distributed dolls for the girls and steelcraft toys for the boys. Thirty more little children were entertained at Easter time When a party was given for them, consisting of an Easter-egg hunt over the school campus. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES At the beginning of the fall semester an annual tea for the new girls was held for the purpose of introducing them to the 01d members of the Hoan Club. Refreshments were served in the club room, and dancing was enjoyed in the study hall. In the receiving line were Miss Ethel OlCOnnor, Mrs. Ruette Dunning, Mrs. L. A. Nott, Miss Flora DeVelbiss, Ellen Clark, and Annalee Whitmore, both former presidents, and Dorothy Uelsmann, present president of Hoan. ASSEMBLIES Under the management of Betty Atkinson, the Hoan AsSemblies were very interesting with varied types of talks. Then too, there were the beautiful ceremonies that have become traditional, such as the Candle nghtlng ceremony, the Senior Farewell assembly, and the Christmas Carol assembly. .

The art work, patterned after that of larger college ahnuals, is a great step forward for the school. The tint blocks used as introdtictlon to the various sections add a note of color besides being a contrlbutlon t0 the theme so ably carried out in the smaller cuts also of the city of Pied- mont. . In a book of this type a theme may best be expressed or suggested by illustrations; therefore the art students have attempted to represent the plty 1n ayell-rounded book. All of the cuts, small and large, by represent- mg famlhar scenes, help make this years Clan-O-Log a book which Wlll bring back memories to every student. Thank you, Clan-O-Log artists, for your splendid work.

Its officers were Laura Frazier, manager, and J im Wallace, secretary. THE SOLOISTS The development of soloists in the music department has been more successful this year than ever before. Mr. Weiss has brought forward the following people as soloists: Isis McLaughlin, Wally Ellis, Dawn Cochrane, Helen Davis, Walter Brunberg, Vincent J effrey, Bob Scobey, Harold Skeen, Laura Frazier, Helmut Muller, Roy Chilton, and Steve Searcy. SENIOR BAND More successful than ever, this year the band surpassed all previous records. There are sixty-eight enthusiastic band members all of whom co-operate and help Mr. Weiss in making the band a success. Many were the tlmes that. the commissioners of entertainments found it necessary to call upon thls organization, and always its playing was enthusiastically recelved by the students. This record is indeed fine, and Mr. Weiss, as well as the members, deserves a great deal of credit. During the football season, the band. marched numerous times, adding greatly to the spirit bf the rooters, Wlth Tom Simonson as baton twirler. This year the band feneflt concert was held on March 15 and 16. The proceeds went into a und to buy band unlforms. The manager of the band was ROY Chilton, and the secretary was Ted Kitchener.

More and more boys are desirous of entering its ranks, and the number of active members has increased to fifteen boys. Mr. Glen Johnson, an ex- pert player of the bagpipes, has generously offered his time and services to the boys who are in the group. With the Vivid plaid kilties and purple velvet coats and hats, the boys present a striking picture to the on- lookers. The finest of Scotch bagpipes procurable have been obtained for the school through the kindness of the Board of Education. The band offers popular entertainment and has been invited to play at the Lions, Club, the Athenian-Nile Club, the Rotary Club, as well as at football games at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco and other places.

Potter, Who has had a wealth of experience as debate coach at Bakersfield Junior College and at the State Teachers College in Fresno. During the course of this year, the foremost members of the class were teamed against the debaters of Oakland High School, Berkeley, Lowell, and the University of California Freshmen. Piedmont won on the negative of the question, Resolved: Trial By Jury Should Be Aholished in the United States. Again, defending the negative of the questlon, Re- solved: The Power of the President of the United States should be 1n- creased, Piedmont's team lost to Berkeley,s team, by a two to one de- c1s1on. While four inter-sehool debates may not seem a large numhelj to those of us Who attend eight or ten football games and an unhmlted number of basketball games in one season, we must remember that a debating team is not built overnight, nor can the preparatlon for .one debate sustain more than that debate. During the class penlod the elght students study comprehensively the theory of Debate, partlclpate 1n prac- tice debates before the class, and report on preparatory 1 eadlng materlal. 'The students comprising the class are these: Boh Denton, Ed Melt- zer, Neill Cornwall, Bert Calvin, Waldron Gregory, A110e NellSOH, Marv1n Pomeroy, and Josephine Van Horn. a ' 1! Debating Team B.

Coaches Brick J ohnson and Sam Moyer may feel well pleased With thelr efforts in producing a championship football team Which represented Pledmont High School during the 1933 gridiron season. The combine records of the varsity and second team show a total of eleven victorles, one he game, and a single loss. The newly organized sophomore football squad added to the glory of the school by winning a game from UniverSIty and los1ng a hotly contested battle with the heavy Montezuma first team- Mr. Moyer and Mr. J ohnson had to remodel practically the entire 1932 first team because of vacancies left by the graduation of Britton at center, Abraham at guard, Palamountain at tackle, Finney at end, and Rame and Kash in the backfield. Loring, Gregory, Robinson, J ones, Tolan, and the SWltchlng of Marshall Ede to the fullback position from his old end post, successfully fulfilled the hopes and desires of the coaches. The capturlng of the Alameda County Athletic League for the second successwe year and the great victory of the Purple Tornado over '6 e Berkeley Yellow Jackets will keep the achievements of the 1933 football tearh paramount 1n the minds of all of the appreciative Piedmont students far mto the years to come.

Wheeler Captain Donner Optimo Won by C. Wheeler PlEDMONT-SAN LEANDRO Overwhelming the San Leandro Pirates in their first game of the year, Piedmont showed a world of power and possibilities in scoring nine- teen points and holding their fighting opponents to a zero score. Jim H'elmer scored the first touchdown of the season in the first quarter on a long run through the entire Pirate team, and Wheeler added the extra point from a place-kick. Marshall Ede, who was transferred from end to first-string fullback by Coach fiBrickii Johnson, smashed his way to the second Highland touchdown in the third period. Wheeler blocked a Pirate punt in the closing minutes of play, and Kenneth Buehler fell on it over the goal line for the final score of the day. The entire line functioned smoothly and Donner, Ede, Tolan, and Helmer played well in the backfield. PIEDMONT-OAKLAND Playing the second game of the season on the Oakland field, Pied- mont was defeated by a score of 18-6. Oakland scored early 1n the first period as a result of a series of line thrusts by Sobrero. The Acorns qgam scored When A1 Mudge opened the second quarter with a sensatlonal eighty-yard run. The Highlanders came back in the second perlod when Ede and Helmer, on alternating plays, put the ball on the ten-yard line. A pass from Donner to Gale gave the Clan their only.score. Because of painful injuries, Pomeroy, Wheeler, Steckmest, and Erlchson were on the Side lines during the greater part of the game, and the heavy Oakland team had an easy time pounding their way through the hghter Pled- mont line.

Coming through the season With a record of five victories, one scoreless tie, and n0 defeats, Piedmont undoubtedly had the outstand- ing second team of its career. A famous university coach claims that a football team is as good as its reserve material. This bit of information may show why Piedmont won the championship of the Alameda County Athletic League. The second team made a truly impressive record in the annals of Piedmont gridiron history by scoring decisive victories over Castlemont, McClymonds, Oakland, Technical, University, and Oaklan.d, as well as by lighting a scoreless duel With San Francisco Polytechnlc ngh School. The Oakland second team was handed its first defeat by a Piedmont second team, With a score of 33-0. The players on Piedmonth second team took part 1n most of the varsity games played during the season, and a large part of the success of the first team can be traced back to the competltlon offered the vars1ty men by their lighting substitutes. The second team personnel included Hogan at center; JOhnSOhll anti HODson at guard; Buehler and Leonard at tackle; Gale .an+d Staekf? 153 end; and Porter, Forsman, Ogburn, Cox, Dexter, and Denk 1n he bac e ' SECOND TEAM SCHEDULE Oakland Tech At Piedmont Se tember 6 Piedmont 13 - 6 . sestember 14 Piedmont 13 - 7 Castlemont At Pfedmcn: September 21 Piedmont o h 0 .

A steady march was made in the first quarter of fifty- iive yards, which was successfully terminated by the famous forward-lat- eral, Tolan to Erichson, Erichson to Ede, who scored the touchdown. Charles Wheeler dropped back behind the line of scrimmage and kicked the extra point which won the game. At the beginning of the second half, Nick Minintsky, Berkeley half, raced around right end for the lone Berkeley score. Bill McNamara, former Piedmont gridder, missed the try for the conversion. George Tolan distinguished himself by proving a peerless and exceedingly dangerous punter, much'to the discourage- ment of Berkeley. When the epochal game drew to a close, the Highland varsity had possesssion of the coveted pigskin on the Yellow Jackets seventeen-yard line as the result of the fine running by George Tolan and Marshall Ede, and the aid of excellent blocking by Don Gregory and Howard Robinson. Captain Donner, Helmer, Wheeler, Pomeroy, Gale, Tolan, Loring, and Gregory concluded their high school football careers for their alma mater in wonderful style by defeating the College City team. THE FOOTBALL TROPHY A silver football, of regulation size, with the names of the first and second teams engraved upon it, was the token of victory glven 1n the fall of 1932 by the Piedmont High School Dads, Club to the breakers of the Berkeley Jinx. Each year for twelve years, when Pledmont played Berkeley in football, the Highlanders came out losers. Th1s unfortunatg yearly occurrence finally became known as the jinx that Berkeley hel over US. On the thirteenth year the Piedmont team, gomg out to d0 01' d193, Won a 20-0 Victory over the Yellow Jackets.

Piedmont Piedmont Piedmont Piedmont Piedmont Piedmont REVIEW OF THE PRACTICE SEASON PIEDMONT HIGH SCHOOLtS basketball team enjoyed an exception- ally successful practice season this year. Out of fifteen games, only three resulted in defeat. Perhaps the highlight of the practice season WaS the 26 to 25 victory over the Oakland Acorns, a conquest that was fol- lowed by another close victory of 25 to 23 over University. The last pre- league tllt to be played resulted in a 44 to 27 victory for the Stanford Papooses. The Highlanders also Won games from nine other high schools- As a result.of their excellent pre-league play, Piedmont was made the heavy favorlte to win the Alameda County Athletic League title. t981 ytiont only 1 was 5 ml: . yet 40rd b0015- e the BASKETBALL Captain Gregory Optimo Won by D. Lyon FIRST RICHMOND GAME OPENING THE A. C. A. L. COMPETITION against Richmond, Pied- mont conquered, 36 to 24. Coach ttBinkstt Rawlings used a new com- bination of Gregory and Staehle, forwards, Erichson, center, and Shields and Laidley, guards. This change was neccessitated by an injury to Dick Lyon, star center and high point man of the Clan, and to Paul Lerch, steller guard. Staehle scored first for Piedmont on a free throw. At the quarter, the Oilers led by a 10 to 9 count, but the Clansmen came up fast in the second period to leave the court at half time, leading by a 15 to 14 count. As the second half got under way, Staehle went on a scoring spree, sinking three field goals in rapid succession. Richmond valiantly tried to stem the rising score, but failed as the Highlanders swept down the court time after time to score on set-ups. The Scotsmen led the Rich- mond boys 28 to 20 at the close of the third'session, and finally won out 36 to 24. Staehle and Gregory accounted for eleven points each, to tie for high point honors. FIRST BERKELEY GAME ENTERING THE FIRST GAME With Berkeley High School sllghtly overconfident, Piedmont's basketball team suffered a 33 to 29 set- back. The Clansmen had a complete reversal of form flfom the t11t that they Won from Richmond. The Highlanders seemed bethdered When the Berkeley boys broke into the lead the second perlod.

As the last quarter got under way, Homer Irwin, Ward Bellachey, and Bill Big- gerstaff, Yellow Jacket stars, started hitting the basket With clock-like regularity. It was not until near the end of the contest that the Clansmen started closing up the gap between the scores, but the finishing spurt ended when Don Gregory, star forward, was removed on personal fouls. The game score stood at 33 for Berkeley with 29 for Piedmont. Dick Lyon, center, led the scorers with the total of 17 points. FIRST ALAMEDA GAME AIAMEDA HIGH SCHOOL, the target for the pent-up fury of Pied- mont High Schools basketball team after the loss to Berkeley, was defeated 32 to 23. The Clansmen returned to their true form in this vic- tory, leading at quarter time by a 12 to 2 count, not allowing Alameda one field goal. As the second period got well under way, there was no doubt in anyonets mind that this was Piedmontis day. The score stood 18 to 6 at half time. The locals were ahead 29 to 14 at the end of the third perlod, and 32 to 23 at game time. The Island City team partly closed the gap between the scores in the last period, but the lead was too great to oyercome. Captain Herman Pete, colored leader of the Hornets, playing hls usual conslstent and starring game at guard, accounted for nine of Alamedais pomts. Don Gregory and Johnny Erichson each scored nine of Pledmontis digits. Lerch, Erichson, and Gregory turned in outstanding performances for the Highlanders.

Piedmont led 20 to 19 at the end of. the third'periode The fourth period proved to be exciting, however, for up until the last 49 seconds, Richmond was in the lead. With but two thirdssof a minute of play remaining and Piedmont behind 28 to 26, Lyon was awarded two free throws, Which he sank, giving the Highlanders a 28 to 28 deadlock. In the extra three-minute period, Staehle and Phair each made a field goal. The final score stood in the Clans favor, 32 to 28. Phair was high point man With 16 tallies. proved to be a stumbling block SECOND BERKELEY GAME WITH THE MEMORY OF THEIR RECENT DEFEAT by Berkeley still fresh in their minds, Piedmont,s basketballteam triumphed over their old rivals 31 to 23. Coach Binks Rawlings started the usual quintet. The Highlanders started fast and led 9 to 6 at quarter time and 19 to 12 at the half. Piedmontis play was superb, especially in regard to the passing, which was bullet-like and deadly accurate. Lerch showed up well in this department. As the second. half got under way, the Yellow- jackets scored five points in rapid succession and seemed on their way to close up the gap between the scores, but the Clansmen quickly rallied. Piedmont was ahead 23 to 21 at the end of the third stanza, and finally won 31 to 23. Irwin stood out Well for the College City boys and was high point man with 11 points. Lyon made 9 points for Piedmont, and Phair, who again proved to be one of the most outstanding men on the floor, made 8 points. The Highlanders showed true championship form in th1s contest.
