California’s then-Gov. Friend Richardson lived in Berkeley and cast his vote with his family “in his home precinct at Center and Oxford streets,” the Berkeley Daily Gazette reported. He told the Gazette he had the unusual privilege of voting to confirm several judges he had appointed to the bench.
“Extra girls had to be posted on the telephone exchange boards to handle the calls from numerous campaign headquarters.” Richardson said he was pleased with the election results the next day. He had campaigned against Berkeley’s two incumbent members of the state Assembly who had opposed his budget in the Legislature and succeeded in unseating one of them.
Berkeley’s Helen Wills won an astonishing seven tennis championships in summer 1924, including two Olympic gold medals. Wills is presented above with her U.S. Open singles trophy for that year. She had collected an amazing seven championships in singles, doubles or mixed doubles in less than four months, playing in the United States, at London’s Wimbledon and at the 1924 Paris Olympics.Plans had been laid to erect a metal arch across San Pablo Avenue at University Avenue, welcoming visitors to Berkeley. At that time no highway existed along the bayshore, so San Pablo was the main driving route to points north.
