Farewell ye seniors dear of old South High, Your image in our hearts shall never die, And as commencement marks the closing year, A deep, long, mournful sigh comes to my car. Our eyes are filled with tears to see you go; But yet that time must come as we all know, So let's join hands in one dear last farewell. And with glad faces toll the parting knell. May each of you in life successful be. And ever pluck ripe fruit from Fortune’s tree. May each life be a long and happy one, May you complete each task that is begun. W ith these few words we bid you all goodbye, And of your good success our hopes are high, Remember still that old, old golden rule. And you shall conquer as you have in school. 8 “ Life.” The birds are singing in the trees, How warm the air, how soft the breeze. The grass is sprouting from the ground. The crickets in the fields abound. It is Spring. The men in fields are making hay, The children in the streets do play, The people seek the parks for shade, ft is the time for lemonade. It is Summer. The leaves arc falling to the ground, The wind whirls them around, around, The sky assumes a sombre hue. The artists now have much to do. It is Autumn. The wind is howling through the trees. We seek the fireside for ease, The drivers swing their hands in pain, Old Santa Claus is here again. It is Winter. 'Tis thus the seasons come and go, And never, never do we know, How long our lamps of life will burn, How long before it is our turn. y GUV II BURRELL. President of Senior Class. Basketball team.

There are many persons, no doubt, who with Mr. Dooley, believe that colleges exist primarily to foster athletics, and whose estimate of higher institutions of learning is based on the proficiency and skill of the various athletic teams representing those institutions. Harvard University is almost never ranked by such a method. Its high place among the universities of America and Europe has been won on other merit. Harvard is the oldest college in America. Founded in 1 GAG. almost three centuries ago. by the Massachusetts Hay Colony in Xcwtowne only three miles from Boston, its history has l een inextricably woven into that of the origin and growth of our great nation. In the first year or two of its existence, the college received a large gift of hooks and some money from the estate of Reverend John Harvard, and in honor of its first benefactor, the college was given the name, Harvard. After several years Xcwtowne was changed to Cambridge after the old English University from which many in the Massachusetts Bay Colony had graduated. Founded for definite purposes by the Colony, the college was liberally supported. and prospered. Today it holds the proud distinction of being the largest university in America: largest in number of students and of living graduates. The endowment of Harvard University is exceeded by that of only one of two universities in America; its plant and equipment is excelled by none. The Harvard College Library is exceeded in number of volumes only by the Congressional Library and the Boston Public. Its museums and laboratories, developed by Gray n and Agassiz and Shaler, arc world-famous. Its faculty, which in times past has included Gray. Agassiz. Pierce. Lowell, Longfellow. Charles Eliot Norton. Langdell and Shaler, still has among its number many eminent scholars and instructors, presided over by Charles William F.liot, and some lovable deans. Many things might lie said of Harvard—of its educational, athletic and social advantages—but the brevity of this article docs not permit. But a word ought to be said about certain disadvantages often urged against Harvard—the exacting requirements for admission, the lack of college spirit, and the lack of democratic spirit. As to admission requirements, Harvard is perhaps more exacting in this respect than any other university. But this fact ought not to keep any man from going there; it ought to make the goal for which he is striving all the more desirable. Moreover, every South High man who has yet taken the Harvard entrance examinations has passed, and this in spite of the fact that the requirements for admission have demanded more than the South High curriculum has provided, and in spite of the fact that every man so far has taken all his entrance examinations, elementary and advanced at one time. A man may be admitted to Harvard even though he fails to pass several of his examinations, provided he makes up his deficiency before his junior year. 1 would advise any one contemplating a course at Harvard to take the elementary examinations in June following his junior year, and the advanced or final examinations one year later. Much is said about the lack of class and college spirit at Harvard, because of the great size of the university. This, I believe, is not well founded. It is true that Harvard has between 4000 and 'mou students, and that the classes are too large for one man to know a very large part of his own class, but the class spirit is there. It is not manifested in petty squabbles and rushes between classes, for there is no such antagonism at Harvard. It is manifested in a healthy rivalry for honors in athletic, debating, and other contests between classes during undergraduate days, and in a rivalry to do the college the most honor by splendid lives and generous gifts after graduation. The loyalty and generosity of Harvard graduates to their alma mater is as inspiring as it is remarkable. As Dean Hurlbut Jias put it, “A man isn't long in Cambridge before he is dyed a deep crimson.” The impression is also prevalent that owing to the presence of a large number of wealthy students at Harvard the man of ordinary means is at a disadvantage. This impression can best be corrected by the statement of one qualified to judge, J4 who has said. “Whenever you encounter a poor boy of eager, aggressive mind, a youth of energy, one capable of feeling the enjoyment of struggling with a multitude and making his merit known, say to him, that Harvard College is expressly constituted for such as he. Here he will find the largest provision for his needs and the clearest field for his talents. Money is a power everywhere, it is a power here, but a power of far more restricted scope titan in the world at large. If a poor man is a man of muscle, the athletic organizations will welcome him; if a man skilled in words, he will be made editor of the college papers; and if he has the powers that fit him for the place, the whole body of his classmates will elect him orator, ivy orator or poet without the slightest regard to whether his purse is full or empty. Harvard college makes liberal provision in the way of scholarships and beneficiary funds for those who show excellence in their college work. The college aids men also in obtaining various kinds of employment, so that it is possible tor a man who is bright of mind and strong of body to work his way through Harvard and at the same time win honors. In a word, Harvard is a grand, good, big institution where any intelligent young man is broadened mentally and socially as well as physically, and is well prepared and equipped for the battle of life.

By rehearsing every Monday in the Auditorium under the leadership of Mr. Masters, it has become one of the most prominent organizations in our school. At every Rhetorical, one of the features of the program was the selection by the orchestra. It also rendered an excellent program at the play. We are all grateful to Mr. Masters and the orchestra for their good work, and hope it will continue. The orchestra is now hard at work preparing for the Senior Class day. In addition to this, the orchestra will be heard at the Commencement exercises for the last time this year. The following is the list of players who have been faithful at rehearsals this year: Mr. E.

(Apologies to Burns.) Yc halls and walls of dear old South, Mow can ye seem so fresh and fair? How can ye shout ye dear old halls. When naughty sevens no more arc there? Thou'lit have no longer victories won By naughty sevens who'll soon be gone. Y'ell mind me of deserted halls, Deserted—ne'er to be restored. When wc shall rove by merry South, To see its once so joyful halls. Within these walls we little doubt To hear those merry laughs and calls, But still with joy our love shall hold. The memories of our senior bold. And yet though gone, we’ll ne'er forget Your blooming face when first we met. 3 SPRING. T was a day in early spring. The skies were blue and a light breeze played with the Huffy white clouds and gently swayed the bare branches of the trees. The birds which had come back from their sojourn in summer climates poured forth in song, talcs of the beauty of Nature and of God's wonderful world. I had been feeling the spring fever in my veins, and so on this day 1 threw off my winter cloak and stepped out into the sunshine. Everywhere I looked the same joyous aspect confronted me. Every thing told of the youth and beauty of the season. The sunlight seemed to fdter through me. thawing out all remembrance of the winter, or anything but the glad world about me. My heart was bubbling over with the song that was being sung by all Creation. The wander-lust came upon me. I took my way to a nearby woods that seemed to be calling me in a voice that was irresistible. I avoided the foot-path and walked across fields. My feet sank into the sod, soft from the early spring rains. The grass was still brown, but at the roots the tender green was beginning to show. At the entrance to the woods was a hollow at the bottom of which a small pool lay, mirroring the beauty of the skies. The trees and rushes on the apposite sides cast long quivering shadows into the water. Farther on I came to a brook that splashed merrily by or lay gurgling among the stones at my feet. I stopped here for a short time listening entranced and then crossing the stream upon the unsteady stones, I proceeded on towards the heart of the woods. The branches of the trees were all bare. All was still except for the sounds of Nature or of the twigs crackling as I pushed my way through. Heaps of dried leaves lay everywhere. Among these I discovered many green sprouts that promised a host of flowers later on. Once in a while I found a hepatica or an anemone. Everything delighted me. and 1 wandered about untiringly in my search for the secrets of the woods. After sometime I emerged from the woods, much bedraggled, but carrying in my hands a few dainty blossoms. I turned to the west where the last radiant glimpse of day was showing and recrossed the fields towards home. Thus, when darkness comes on making an end to the pleasures of life's day, I will turn my face to the setting sun and Home, bearing marks of the conquest, but in my bands the flowers of my gleaning. “SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER. f X the twenty-first and second of February, before two record breaking f M crowds the annua! “play was given by the pupils of our school. The manner in which the characters were handled showed good training and much praise should be given to Mr. Hcald for his untiring efforts in teaching the pupils the interpretation of their parts. The main characters were well portrayed, for few could have taken the part of Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastlc better than did John Scott and Margaret Herbert. William Dwyer ably portrayed the aged father of Young Marlow, which part was taken by Frank Knowles, with Lawrence Riesncr as his companion in the character of Hastings. Viola Karda and Xorma Harrison in their quaint old-fashioned dresses, to a true picture of eighteenth century ladies, added excellent ability :n acting. James Rybak took the part of Tom Lumpkin, the mischievous young man, as if it were a habit of his to play tricks on the servants. The minor parts of the comedy were likewise well acted. Harry Zulauf. as Stingo, deserves special mention. In fact, the whole cast performed in a way that would do justice to a professional company. The following is the cast of characters: Sir Charles Marlow ....................... Young Marlow, his son.................... Hardcastlc, country gentleman............

Even at this early stage it gave great promise of being- a strong class. Those who have watched it most critically during the first three years of its course have every reason to think that the class will in most respects fulfill its early promise. The prominent part the class has taken in all the organizations of the school is at least a matter of congratulation. It is a source of justifiable pride that it has so many athletes on the foot-hall, basket-ball and track teams. The Editor-In-Chief of this Annual is a member of the Junior Class. Some of the leading roles of the Flay given in January were taken by members of the same-class. That we have two Junior boys on the debating team representing our school against East and Glcnvillc High Schools, is a fact worthy of mention. On March 11th, the chss met and organized. The following officers were elected to serve the remainder of the Junior year: President......... Vice President .. Secretary........ Treasurer........ Sergeant-at-A mis ... Ray Shimmon .......

Blessings on thee, little flat. Boorish mannered, silly bat! With your short knee’d pantaloons, And your wretched whistled tunes; With your while check, whiter still, As you do your teacher's will; With the bloom upon your face, So you start upon your race ; Struggle on as best you can, So befits a poor freshman! Low you are—in station low Only wait until you grow. Let the haughty Senior ride! Patient trudging near bis side. You have yet more much more to win, Than his worship's ever been. Do you wonder where you're at, Oh you poor, unfriended chap? Oh, the freshman year at school! Playing teachers—playing fool, Skipping lessons without fear, (.Though that’s done through every year), Oh, it’s rich in As and Bs. Latin, German, Ys and Zs : Talking loo is his delight When the teacher's not in sight; Pranks galore fill up each day, Marks against his credit lay; Placing pins where others sit, Makes him glad, the others—nit; This the time of visions fond, Pleasures, joys and hopes beyond. Sweet and short this freshman life. Soon a Soph he’ll join the strife. Gaining from his teacher’s store Fruits he could not reach before. 49 Cheerily then, my little man. Live and laugh as freshmen can! Though the narrow way be hard. To success’ just reward ; And though every year anew, Brings hard tasks for you to do; Though the setting sun shall see But a single victory. Upward climb to higher fields Which the future yet conceals, Have a mark at which to aim. Set it high ; then shall you gain Honor for your school and class, Glory that will never pass; Never loiter on your way, Failure might your folly pay. Happy be in your career, Joy is thine, to thee good cheer. so “THE PH I LA LETHE ANS.” f ¥ THE Philalcthcan Society of .South High School was organized October 11, M 1905. Mr. Ruetenik had felt for some time that a girls’ literary society was desirable, and in October he appointed Miss Leggett as director of such a club, and soon afterward Miss Storke and Miss Clifford as an advisory committee. The charter members numbered twenty-four. At the first meeting, the society adopted a constitution, elected officers, chose a motto T17 AptTjj, tt)v yvuoiv (Add to virtue, knowledge) and their colors, red and white. The purpose and aim of this society has been to arouse interest in and to encourage literary work, to promote friendship among the girls, and to raise the standard of all school work. To be eligible to membership a girl must have an average of at least 85 per cent in all the studies she has pursued and her character and deportment must be excellent. The society has prospered and the girls are very proud of it and of their membership in it. The meetings are held once in two weeks with an open meeting every two months. The programs are varied and interesting and very much enjoyed by the members. To prevent any danger of all work and no play a number of spreads and dances are given. In May, 1906, the girls gave a spread, followed by dancing, to the Junior aifd Senior boys and the faculty. This was such a success that the society gave a similar one this year. In October a delightful Hallowe’en reception was given to the Junior and Senior girls. Hallowe’en refreshments were served and a gypsy who told fortunes added to the fun. Lastly an informal dance was given to the Senior and Junior boys in February, and this was also heartily enjoyed. At present the need of a club room is severely felt by the club, which has to wander back and forth between the auditorium and different class rooms. There is a light pleasant room in the annex intended for a club room, which when put in order should make an excellent home for the society. The girls are working hard to furnish it and it is possible that it soon may be in shape to use.

One of the most glorious events of the school year took place on Friday evening March 1st, when oitr boys won the intcrscholastic debate from Glenville High in the Glenville High School Auditorium. The question debated was: Resolved: That the citizens of California are right in their contention for separate schools for Orientals. Glenville upheld the negative and was represented by Thomas Rutledge, Floyd Allport, Benjamin Kittinger. Our speakers upholding the affirmative were John T. Scott, James J. Rybak and Lawrence Riesner. Music was rendered by the Glenville High School orchestra. The music, however, was lost in the yells of the South High students. Each of our speakers was greeted with great applause. It seemed as if the South High delegation of rooters was loaded up for the occasion, for when the judges gave the decision to our school such a yell went up as Glenville never heard before. The judges, Dr. Bradley, Prof. Hulmc and Mr. Hopkins decided two to one in favor of our school. After giving several rousing yells we fought our way to the cars and left Glenville High, wishing its students happy dreams. 56 Debate with East High On April 26th, 1007, in an interesting contest, the South High School won its second interscholastic debate, defeating East High, by a unanimous decision. The question debated was: Resolved, that to subsidize the merchant marine of the United States would be detrimental to the best interests of the country. Our school had the negative and was represented by the same team, consisting of John T. Scott, James J. Rybak and Lawrence L. Ricsner, that met and defeated Glcn-ville High. East High, upholding the affirmative, was represented by Fred R. Bill, James McMahon and Robert Keeler. The Judges were Dr. John I. Wilson, Judge J. M. Shallenberger and Mr. W. B. Stewart. , After the Judges announced their decision a yell, such as the Auditorium never heard before went up and the triumphant team was cheered and cheered again. The winning of this debate put South High tie with Lincoln High for the championship of the city. 57 The Periclesians. OFFICERS. President JOHN T. SCOTT Vice President JAMES J. RYBAK Secretary Treasurer ALVIN DRACH WALTER WEFEL Sergeant-at-Arms Master of Programs.. . WILLIAM DICKSON JOSEPH MeMKANS 8 THE PERICLESIANS. T T 7 !! EX. at the beginning: of the year, the Periclesian Society met in their i t room, not one of the members, who had participated in an interscholas- tic debate, was present. They had all graduated. However, the boys were all faithful workers and determined to make as good a showing as possible. Mr. Graber was appointed faculty member. Under his guidance a debate was held at each meeting, and at the time of our first inter-scholastic debate a team was chosen from those who had made the best showing in the club debates. The benefit of the training under Mr. Graber was shown in that debate. Although all our speakers were new men. it was shown that our school would l e well represented. As two of the members of the teams which represented our school this year are Juniors, the prospects for a championship team, next year, are very bright. By defeating Glcnvillc and Hast, our school is tied with Lincoln for the championship. As it was too late in the year for another debate, the tie will remain. Interest in debating was not only incited in the boys of the Society, but in the whole school body and faculty, as was shown by the large attendance at our debates. The Periclesians wish to thank the students of our school for the cordial support they have received and hope that this will continue in the future. The Periclesians also wish to thank the faculty for their ceaseless labor in furthering the interests of the Society. 59 At the Rhetoricals this year the following programs were rendered: October 12, 1906.

Daniel McAfee Guy Burrell f 2 ATHLETICS. rri HERE is no doubt that more interest has been manifested in athletics at South High during the present school year than ever Ik fore. NTol only have more men appeared for practice for the respective teams, but there has been a group of “rooters” at every game able to compare favorably with those of the other schools. On account of this the teams made a more creditable showing than ever before. Let this interest continue and the supporters of the “Orange and Black” need fear nothing from the opposing teams in years to come. Our basket-ball team has been especially fortunate, finishing second in the Interscholastic race, as well as defeating manny independent teams which they were allowed to play. All honor to the l oys who have so favorably upheld the honor of Old South High. Let us all show our appreciation of what they have done and let us give the other teams the same support as was received by the Basket-Ball team of 190(1-7. The Foot-Ball Team. Our football team did not have an entirely successful season, but nevertheless wc feel sure that the pluck and endurance which they showed in spite of a long; series of defeats is most highly commendable. Mr. Lemmerman acted as coach, and day after flay the same faithful few reported on the field for practice and all being “green at the game, there was an extremely hard proposition before the inan in charge. We shall lose but three of this year's team bv graduation, and it is the hope of the School that by next year we may stand on a level with any of the teams in the Interscholastic League. The Football “S” was awarded the following: Frank Clark.........................Captain and Quarter-Back Fred Rush.................Manager and Right Tackle. Jacob Zucker R. E. Harrv Zulauf R. H.

Of all the athletic teams that ever represented South High, one of the most successful ones was the basketball team of the season just closed. But seven men were used in all the games played and these extra men were used in the first game with West High when the regular man was taken sick and in the last game of the season on the home floor iti the game with the Whirlwinds. The team finished in second place in the Interscholastic race, losing but two games during the year, one to Central by award of the High School Senate of a game which was not played and the other to West. At the close of the season our boys were in a class by themselves, defeating both West and Central in the closing games of the year and had clearly the best team in the city . Three of this year's team will be lost by graduation, but much good material is still in school and the prospects for a championship team for inns are of the brightest kind. THE BASKET-BALL TEAM.

Before a crowd that taxed the South High gymnasium to the utmost the teams from South and West clashed on the night of the 20th of February. Both teams were greeted by a scries of songs.and yells as they took the floor, and when the whistle blew our boys started off like a whirlwind. By brilliant teamwork the boys representing our school carried the ball down the floor time after time, and scored easy baskets. West fought desperately, but to no avail, for when the first half ended South was still far in the lead. When the second halt opened tne teams seemed doubly anxious to keep the lead on one hand and to avert defeat or. the other. Both teams played desperately, but West finally began to close up on our boys and two minutes before the whistle blew, were one point in the lead, but it was only for a moment, for by sonic accurate passing and magnificent team work our boys scored a field goal and won the game. The score at the finish was 1!) to 18 in favor of South. •West has been proclaimed city champion, but South still holds the honor of defeating them at the close of the season when West was at her best. 6S DANIEL MCAFEE. CaPT. RAYMOND SHIM MON. Mgr. The Track Team. The Track team is scarcely well under way. but what little has been done seems very gratifying. Before long the boys will be able to get out of doors and begin work in earnest. Some of last year's best track men have been lost by graduation. but there are still some valuable men left in school who will undoubtedly make a good showing in the Interscholastic race. Let us give the team our hearty co-operation and do all in our power to make it a success in every way. Captain.........................................John T.

One day not long ago, A Junior came to dear old South. And his face was all aglow. He had a nice new derby on Which some naughty Juniors spied, And always on some mischief bent They planned to wound his pride. It must have happened by accident, For the hat was seen on the floor By the boys who filed into the cloakroom. After the school was o'er. They used it for a football. They used it for a drum. They practised the high jump act on it, Till it was strictly on the bum. ”Thc Junior walked right in. and turned around. And walked right out again. Deciding at once to tell his ma” Of the treacherous deed of his class-men. The Junior boys had stooped to folly. They must for that derby pay, So each one generously paid ten cents 'lo wash their guilt away. Moral: From this time forth, let no man wear. An expensive derby to school. For if lie docs, he’ll surely break The Juniors’ new-made rule. 75 Alas! Alack! He turns his back, While through his fevered brain there flows Large columns of these figures black, And firmly in his mind there grows This resolution we deem wise;— “In coming years, no class will me surprise Hy further proofs, and win a treat, likewise.” 76 As We Know Them.
