SCHOOLDEDICATION
Miss Minerva Braden, instructor in English
«W Journalism, this edition of the Whirlwind
is lovingly and gratefully dedicated.
As our class adviser last year, as adviser for the
school paper, and as a teacher and friend, she has
been capable, patient, and pleasant, and ive deeply
appreciate our contacts with her.
The student body and faculty wish her success
and happiness in the future.FOREWORD
In this 1931 edition of the Whirlwind, it has been
our purpose to present a truly representative high
school annual and not merely a class book. However,
we have endeavored to give to the members of the
senior class, of whom we are justly proud, a book
replete with memories and faces of high school days,
to be treasured and enjoyed in later life.
We of the staff sincerely appreciate the help and
advice given us by Mr. Hudson and Miss Chase in
organizing this 1931 Whirlwind.Acknowledgments

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
A 1‘ I HOUGH television was a marvelous invention, not very much could be
seen or heard about the history of the class of 1931. In 1927 the freshmen at
Madison elected the following officers: president, Ivan Zimmerman; vice-president,
LaY ora Emmett; secretary, Nadyne Reiley; and treasurer, Ethel Magers. At
Central the same proceedings were going on. Robert Marks became president;
Mona McFarland, vice-president; and Wallace Kennedy, secretary-treasurer. While
only freshmen both the Madison and Central students were well represented in dif-
ferent activities; Madison won the freshman debate contest.
When these classes left Junior High to seek their fortunes at A. H. S., many
wondered what had happened to them. Through television came the information that
the sophomore class officers were being elected : Ruth Potwin, president; Elma Morton,
vice-president; and Katherine Boucher, treasurer. During the sophomore year Ruth
Potwin tied for first place in the declamatory contest, while the class debaters won
the interclass debate contest.
1 he following year it was learned that the class had been progressing rapidly;
they were now juniors and were proud to be called “upperclassmen.” As before in
the freshman year, Ivan Zimmerman became class president. The other officers were
Ethel Magers, vice-president; Donald Stalcup, secretary; and Katherine Boucher,
treasurer. Members of the class took parts in the Dramat plays, besides presenting
one of their own, “Tea for 'Pom.” This was the first time in the history of A. H. S.
that the junior class had ever put on a class play. Since the interclass debate contest
Avas won again by the juniors, and since Clare Stewart took the leading part in the
operetta, Peggy and the Pirates,” and also won the district oratorical contest, the
junior year was considered quite eventful for the class of 1931.
Three years passed, and the fourth and last year at A. H. S., which seemed the
most important of all, was coming on. An auburn-haired boy, named Woodsor.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued)
Bennett, who came to A. H. S. from Bend, Oregon, in his junior year, was elected
senior class president; Donald McCrary, vice-president; LaVora Emmett, secretary;
and Katherine Boucher, treasurer. Martin Kropp was elected student body repre-
sentative; our adviser was Miss Marion Stanford. The class again won the inter
class dehate, which shows that Clare Stewart, Laura Margaret Smith, Robert Poliak,
Hague Callistcr, Isabel Van Waning, Waldo Munsey, Betty Stuart, and Katherine
Boucher are wonderful debaters. Besides this a number of the leading parts in the
operetta were taken by seniors.
The class of 1931, the largest graduating class in the history of A. H. S., has
done its part in giving to the school its best ability in the different activities, such as
sports, debate, dramatics, and music. Everyone was happy to see and hear of the
history of the class of ’31 through the invention of television.
Senior Saga
Seniors at last! It has been fun
hi A. H. S. See what’s been done
lit football, tennis, track—in short,
We’ve shone at every kind of sport.
Dramat we entered with a will.
Debating is our strong point still.
We’ve worked quite hard and done our best.
Tried to leave records for the rest.
Please don’t mind if we boast a bit—
We’ve lots to learn—and we know it!
So, soon ive’ll be out and lost in the crowd—
For just a little while—let's be proud!
—Margaret Wood.

SENIOR WILL
Y ‘O'1 lony after 1 had looked through rav television set, 1 saw and heard Harold
JX Mitchell, a well-known lawyer in Portland, Oregon, read to his friends
the following will :
We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one, sincerely desire to leave to others
some of the things which we have acquired by four years of hard effort. Our Albany
school days are almost over, and in a few short weeks we shall be scattered to the
four corners of the earth. Some of us will enter upon the serious affairs of life;
others will pursue studies in colleges and institutions of higher learning. Therefore,
we do make and hereby declare our last will and testament.
Article One: To everyone we bequeath a fond farewell and best wishes for
good luck.
Article 7 wo: 1 o the class of ’32 we will the title of “Senior,” realizing, however,
that its members will never reach the higher heights of glory, honor, and learning
that the members of the class of '31 have attained.
Article Three: To the faculty we utter a sincere wish that sometime they may
have another class like us.
Article lour: lo the coming freshmen and sophomores we express the hope that
through hard labor they may become as intellectual as we.
Article Five: Some of our individual stars make such bequests as the following:
1. I, Ivan Zimmerman, leave my handsome athletic figure to Kenneth Curry.
2. We, Lima Morton and Gladys Meyers, lend our ability to cook the hot lunches
at noon to Jane Goodale and Maxine Willett.
3. I, Russell Haynes, leave my long legs to Robert Ferguson.
4. 1, Bob Poliak, bequeath my great store of knowledge to Asa Lewelling.
5. 1, Dorothy Smith, entrust my dignified ways to Charlotte Lambcrty.
6. We, Evelyn Arnold and Waldo Stratton, relinquish our methods of making
students “bust it” to Harold Whitney and Barbara Beam.
7. I, Betty Stuart, present my artistic ability to Abe Merrit.
8. 1, Hague Callister, hand down my ability to edit an annual to Sam Bickman.
9. 1, LaVora Emmett, give up my quiet ways to Oren Sudtell.
10. I, Margaret Pfeiffer, bestow mv sense of humor upon Virginia Bird.
11. The remaining members of the senior class leave to Billie Barrett their wishes
for acquiring the attentions of all the new girls.
In witness whereof, we, the class of 1931, do hereby fix our hand and seal to
this will, this 29th day of May.

SENIOR PROPHECY
7fl)HILE living in Alaska, it suddenly dawned upon me that for years I had not
heard from any of my friends of ’31. The thought made me very lonesome,
because I realized that 1 desired to hear from them more than anything else in the
world. When I was nearly desperate, I happened to glance over in the corner.
There stood mv television set silently waiting, it seemed, to give me an answer.
Verily, “More things arc wrought by prayer than this world dreams of!”
1 arranged my set so that I should first get Albany, Oregon, w here I knew some
of my classmates would still be living. Surely enough!. The first person whom I
saw was Woodson Bennett, then a salvation army officer, preaching on Fourth and
Jackson streets. Lauretta Kielblock, Roberta Wire and Izola Lee held the collection
plates and sang while several men, whom I recognized as Max Rohrbough, Robert
Schmidt and Howard Conner, played saxophones to the tune of some old hymns.
I was greatly surprised to hear and see these former classmates of mine.
Among the large crowd listening to them were Dr. and Mrs. Harmon Traver.
During her school days Mrs. Traver was the mayor’s daughter—Edith Calavan.
Clare Stewart, a saleswoman for corn plasters, happening to be in Albany at the
time, could hardly believe her eyes when she identified in the Salvation Army organiza-
tion those who used to be her dear old A. H. S. classmates.
Just then my set went blank on Albany, but by switching the connections I was
able to get San Francisco, California. In a court room scene I saw Annette Tindell
suing her husband, Ivan Zimmerman, for desertion. Isabel Van Waning was Ivan’s
lawyer, while Hague Callister was Annette’s. Looking at the different billboards 1
saw advertisements concerning the personal appearance of three comedians: Donald
Stalcup, Russell Williamson, and Oscar Schaubel. Later I heard Professor Arnold
Wolverton speaking on several subjects unknown to me—and perhaps to him! He
was supposed to know everything, however, as he taught at Smith College, a well-
known girls’ school.
Again I twirled the dial, this time reaching a New York station where 1 saw
Katherine Boucher driving a sixteen-cylinder Cadillac roadster with her latest husband,
Bruce Senders, sitting beside her. Bruce was a noted chef, this being a mighty good
thing for Katherine, since her other husbands had obtained divorces because of her
inability to fry eggs. Marion Hoefer, Martin Kropp, and Orval Robertson were the
former victims who had been “starved out.”
Over this same radio station 1 heard Laura Margaret Smith giving a talk on how
to straighten curly hair. Virginia Tripp and Ruth Potwin gave a clever reading about
the joys of spinsterhood. YVith my heart in my throat I saw Robert Poliak, Harry
Eagles, and Gayle Lewis working on top of a seventy-seven story skyscraper in New
York, an edifice being erected by the two architects, Aden and Elbert Chambers.
Down at the dock landing Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Ralston were leaving for Italy
to spend their honeymoon. Mrs. Ralston was the former Dorothy Smith of the
1931 senior class.
Suddenly I heard the noise of an airplane. Who should be piloting it but Gertrude
Mishler! She was flying in a zig-zag way, and she must have been feeling blue, for
she was writing in the sky, “The best days of my life were the good old days at
A. H. S. with the class of 1931.”
I reversed my television set and dashed back to her, “It hain’t no use to grumble
and complain; it’s just as cheap and easy to rejoice.”
I felt so much happier after seeing and hearing my old classmates of “the brave
days of old.” I should not have been able to exchange messages, had it not been for
mv television set standing in the corner.

0 HE Twelve B class is a mid-term class of exceptional all-around ability. In every
CD activity this class has been well represented. There are members from the class
who have been prominent in football, tennis, basketball, baseball, track, band,
and orchestra, Hi-Y Club work. Glee Club, and debate. Others are members of
Quill and Scroll, the paper staff, the annual staff, while others have participated in
the carnival and numerous other extra-curricular activities.
When this class first entered the high school, the teachers realized that it was
very energetic. For two years the magistrates “worked on the students until at last
the surplus energy of each student has been directed into some useful activity. I he
leaders of the senior class next year will probably come from this group of students,
athletes, journalists, musicians, and entertainers.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY
1 he officers for the junior class this year were:
President...............................Baden Rupert
Viee-President..........................Oren SuDTELL
Secretary.........................Annette Ruthruff
Treasurer.................................JOHN CoNSER
TN the fall of 1929 we started as freshmen at Central Junior High and Madison
Junior High. We were especially prominent in student activities. We furnished
material for all high school teams.
As sophomores both classes went to Senior High School in 1930. The combined
classes from the two schools gave us a large class, and our activities were even more
noticeable. It was during this time that the boys won the interclass basketball cham-
pionship, and the girls won the girls’ interclass basketball, volleyball, and baseball
championships. The sophomore year was much the same as the freshman except that
we were working harder. As an incoming class we had to be taught the proper re-
spect for upperclassmen.
During our junior year athletic successes have been very pronounced. On the
football team we had six members on the first team, and in basketball we had three
members on the first team. The managers of both teams were chosen from the junior
class this year. Oren Sudtell was manager of the football team, and Billie Templeton
manager of the basketball team. The girls won the volleyball and basketball cham-
pionships again.
We have also been able to furnish material for other activities of our high school,
such as the glee club, dramat, and debate.
At Thanksgiving the juniors gave a short play as part of the program which they
sponsored for the assembly. Later in the year they gave one other play, “The Blind
Date,” to raise money to finance the junior-senior picnic, which is an annual event
near the close of school.
As juniors we have had many problems to solve and many new situations and
conditions to meet. We have emerged, however, with Hying colors and look forward
to a most successful senior year.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY
JN the fall of 1930, the sophomore class numbering about one hundred and thirty,
started on an adventure in search of new worlds—which they found with a ven-
geance in Albany High School. Here they were greeted by other wayfarers, better
known as juniors and seniors, who welcomed them with a sophomore reception which
allayed their fears and introduced them to the social life of Albany High School.
They had just become accustomed to the regular routine when activities began,
and once begun they never ceased. Here are a few of them.
We are justly proud of the manner in which our sophomore debaters acquitted
themselves in the interclass debates, and we hope that Charlotte 1 rickey will carry
her enviable record into the high school debates next year. While the sophomores did
not expect to make the high school team, they derived good training for the coming
year.
The officers selected to man the sophomore ship in its first hazardous voyage were
as follows: Bob Lee, president; Edith Chambers, vice-president; Mildred Stenberg,
secretary; Margaret Mulligan, treasurer; Betty Conn, class representative to the
student council; Miss McKnight, class adviser.
The Girls’ League playlets also included many of the sophomore girls who played
prominent parts, among them being Nora Coates, Madeline Maley, Alice Rich, and
Elaine Warner. The talent displayed showed how much may be expected from the
sophomore class along dramatic lines.
The operetta “Betty Lou” included many of the sophomores. While we do not
care to be too boastful, we feel that Julian Bryant’s tenor and Charlotte Trickey’s
contralto put some of the “pep” into “Betty Lou.” Among the sophomore members
of the Glee Clubs this year are Marybelle Barrett, Charlotte Trickey, Edward Bryan,
George Mitchell, and Julian Bryant.
In February, the sophomores contributed their bit to the auditorium activities
with a program on Washington’s birthday, which included several clever numbers
reminiscent of colonial days. Several sophomore youths and maidens presented a group
of old-time dances, the Minuet and Virginia Reel, as well as individual musical
numbers. We appreciated the assistance of Judge J. K. Weatherford, who favored
us with a patriotic address, in which he drew a striking comparison between the
environment of colonial times and that of the modern times.
All through the year our class has taken part in athletics—our girls in volleyball
and basketball, our boys on the second teams in football and basketball. Some day
we hope to boast some lettermen ; now we are getting into our stride. Watch us
next year!

JUNIOR HIGH FACULTY
Wl CCORDING to the opinion of the Madison freshmen, the Madison Junior
High School faculty is one of the best in the state. There has been more of
a feeling of cooperation between the students and instructors than has ever existed
before. Many new organizations have also been established, and these changes have
given the students a diversion from their regular studies.
At the head of this staff of teachers is the principal, Miss McCourt, who has been
with the school a number of years. Miss Velma Kizer, English instructor, and Miss
Lcttie Pratt, history and science teacher, have also proved themselves worthy in all
the years in which they have taught at Madison.
Miss Opal Jarmon, a graduate of Oregon State College, has presided over the
home economics division for three years, while Mrs. Gertrude McLeod, algebra
instructor, and Mr. W. C. Mickleson, manual training teacher, have been at Madison
for two years. Miss Pearl Turnidge, who was graduated from Monmouth Normal
School, is teacher of commercial arithmetic. Miss Jennie B. Ritchie, a former in-
structor at Maple School, now leads the pupils through the difficulties of Latin.
Mr. Richards is the chief guide for the students of Central School and supervises
his subordinates. Miss Morgan is the inspiration for English, grammar, and literature,
while Mrs. Vandel is the vocational guide. Mr. Lehman teaches world history and
assumes the role of “aide-de-camp” to Mrs. Vandel. Mrs. Anderson acts as a counselor
to the girls interested in domestic arts, and Mr. Palmer instructs the boys in manual
training and leads a class of young scientists.

MADISON CLASS
Ok ECAUSE the Madison freshman class of 1931 will soon be only a memory of
the happy days spent there, we, the freshmen of Madison Junior High School,
bequeath all the happiness and friendship of our freshman days to the coming classes.
Many splendid activities marked the progress of our school year. Shortly after
the beginning of the term the class met and organized under the leadership of Clinton
Stenberg, president; Bruce Short, vice-president; Jeannette McClain, secretary; Eldora
McGuire, treasurer; Eleanore Schaubel, reporter; and Miss Kizer, class adviser.
Although not many entertainments have been given by the freshman class, one
party stands foremost in our memories—our first freshman class party. Many of us
came not well acquainted, but left with a feeling that we knew each member of
the class.
The Freshman Frolic was another momentous event. This was held on the eve-
ning of January 23. A large crowd attended with remunerative results. From the
proceeds the Eoco Club was enabled to purchase curtains and necessary stage equip-
ment. At this time the Eoco Club presented two one-act plays, “Right Around the
Corner,” and “The Little Bluffer.” On February 27 “The Butlers,” a two-act
comedy-drama was given by the Eoco Club with a cast composed of club members.
Later in the spring other one-act plays were given, principally “The Boob” and
“Flittermouse.” The officers chosen to conduct the Eoco Club activities were as fol-
lows: Bruce Short, Keith Cunningham, Joan Burnett, Kenneth Miller, Mablc Harter,
and Woodrow Truax. Miss Kizer, our English teacher, was the coach.
Two other very active clubs of our freshman year were the M. E. N. and the
Girls’ League. The Girls’ League officers were Margaret Ross, Genevieve Bodine,
Rose Kelty, Mable Harter, Gertrude Cox, and Jeanette McClain. The M.E.N.
officers were Carl Olson, Keith Cunningham, Clinton Stenberg, and Arthur Rothrock.
The fact that the work of the freshman class was particularly splendid causes the
faculty and class members to believe that the extra-curricular activities have done much
to contribute to the parts the class will play in the affairs of the future. Our fresh-
man girls and boys have become proficient in successfully carrying on plays, candy
sales, committee meetings, business meetings, and all duties pertaining to organiza-
tions. We are hopeful that our experiences at Madison w.ll aid u in taking an active
part in the life of the Senior High School when we enter there next year.

Central Pioneers
“Come, my tan faced children.
Follow well in order; get your weapons ready.”
Central freshmen answered the call 104 strong on September 22, 1930,
vf fully prepared for the long trek through the Land of High School Life. Knap-
sacks in hand, the Pioneers began to organize their train. Mr. Arthur Palmer
was elected counselor for the first lap of the journey; the other officers were Jim
Davis, captain; Mary Louise Oliver, assistant captain; Hob Potts, scribe; Roberta
Bennett and Kenneth Holmes, correspondence scouts.
1 he various organizations within the caravan were the freshmen girls' group, the
boys’ basketball team, the girls’ athletic teams, and the freshmen chorus. For emer-
gencies and protection a police force and a fire squad were chosen.
Since there were many strange faces in the encampment, the officers decided to
stage a social “get-acquainted” gathering, determined that all of the company should
be friends before actually embarking on the long trek. The party was a jolly one
and was deemed a success.
1 he next outstanding event of the Pioneers was the tea in honor of the mothers,
given by the girls’ group. The girls and their advisory guide. Miss Morgan, arranged
a program consisting of a review of national types. A girl, dressed in fitting attire,
sang, danced, or read a selection in keeping with her particular nation. The girls
served refreshments in their charmingly decorated room.
The train organization for boys was the basketball team. The boys contested
with the organizations of other caravans and settlements along the way. The Central
team made an excellent showing in all games. Mr. Lehman acted as guide to the boys.
The third organization for the travelers was the chorus, directed by Miss Larsen.
This group sang at several of the assemblies where the whole company was called
for consultation.
The Pioneers are determined to reach the end of the first lap of the trail in June
of this year, and to start on the second stretch, known as the Sophomore Trail, in
September.
The Great Divide or Forking of the Roads is set for the spring of the year 1934,
when the Land of High School Life will have been crossed, and College or the
Wide World will lie before.

The Little Sophomore
(With apologies to James T. Fields)
We were crowded in the classroom;
Not a soul did dare to sleep;
It was IVednesday, early morning.
And uncertainty did creep.
Tis a fearful thing, in springtime,
To be shattered by a blast.
To hope to hear the bell ring thrice.
And then the second ring the last!
So we shuddered there in silence,
With a shivering of a sort.
While within the office downstairs
Mr. Finnerty held his court.
As thus we sat in darkness.
Each one busy with his prayers,
“Not a chance! said someone hoarsely,
And was met with fearful glares.
But a little sophomore whispered,
To a senior, pale ivith fear,
Mr. Hudson said to tell you
That the speaker just got here.
So we cheered the little maiden.
And became quite wildly gay,
For we knew we'd have assembly
Sometime during that glad day.

INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE
1 LB ANY High School’s debate season proved a very successful one in spite of
L»' A t|le faet that the school was eliminated in the finals. Much work and prepara-
tion were put on the debates, and interclass talent shows a bright outlook for
next year.
On January 15, Albany’s negative defeated Lebanon’s affirmative 2-1, while its
affirmative lost to Corvallis 3-0. On January 29, Albany affirmative met Indepen-
dence and won 2-1, and the following week our negative defeated Jefferson 3-0.
February 12 was a great victory for Albany, as our teams defeated both Jefferson
and Independence 3-0. The last dehates of the season were held on February 19
when our affirmative won 2-1 from Lebanon, and Corvallis defeated Albany negative
2-1 at a very close debate. File result was that both the affirmative and negative lost
one debate each, that one to Corvallis.
Clare Stewart and Laura Margaret Smith upheld the negative in the four debates,
with Waldo Munsey and Bob Poliak as alternates. Ivan Zimmerman and Woodson
Bennett upheld the affirmative in the first debate of the season, but Hague Callister
and Isabel Van Waning debated the remaining three. New talent must be found
for next year, as all eight debaters are seniors and are graduating this June.
The question for this year was, Resolved: That chain stores are detrimental
to the best interests of the American public.
The topic was naturally much more interesting this year than in former years,
and considerable interest was taken in the high school debates by the business men
of the city. Those who participated in the debates feel that they have gained much
worthwhile knowledge and experience, which will undoubtedly help them in later years.
The work of Mrs. Childs, the debate coach, inspired the team greatly during the
past season, and it wishes to thank her for her untiring efforts.

INTERCLASS DEBATE
C pfHE class debates were held this year on December 18 and 19. The seniors suc-
' ceeded in winning first place, while the juniors were second and the sophomores
third. Great interest was taken in debate this year, especially by the sophomores,
who had two complete teams.
The members of the championship senior team were Hague Callister, Betty Stuart,
Katherine Boucher, Isabel Van Waning, Waldo Munsey, and Robert Poliak. '1 hose
debating for the juniors were Robert Ferguson, Sam Bickman, Alta Dawson, Alice
Wilcox, Perry Long, and Lawrence Misner. The personnel of the sophomore debate
teams consisted of Nadyne Bowman, Helen Cleland, Pauline Higbee, Alice Midwood,
Julian Bryant, Glen Gentry, Grant Lindsay, Eleeta Coates, Richard Stockton, Pat
Hutchins, Everett Richards, Leon Muller, and Charlotte Trickey. Mrs. Childs was
very greatly pleased with the interest shown both bv those participating in the debates
and those who took no actual part but who lent their support.
During the past few years Albany High School has been quite successful in inter-
scholastic debates and in other forms of public speaking. This may be attributed
to the fact that our debaters have always received practical experience from the inter-
class debates in which they compete, thus preparing them for the opposition they must
necessarily meet later. Because of this participation, they are much more confident
when they begin debating for the high school, and, as they are acquainted with the
subject, the results also are better. This year Mrs. Childs spent the seventh period
each day in helping those interested in debate.
'1‘he question for debate this year was, “Resolved: That chain stores are detri-
mental to the best interests of the American public.”

ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL BAND
THE end of the school year, 1930-1931,
marked a very successful term of music
for the Albany High School band under the
direction of Professor W. T. Nicholls. Pro-
fessor Nicholls took charge of this organiza-
tion eight years ago; during this interval it
has risen to a place of prominence not only
in Albany but also throughout the state. The
band won second place in the Class A division
of the Oregon State Hand Contest held at
Oregon State College in 1930.
'I'his year in the State Band Contest held
on the O. S. C. campus at Corvallis, Albany
High School won first place in the Class A
division. Since Albany ordinarily would be
placed in Class B, but this year was entered
in the Class A contest, the winning of the
contest was an event for elation on the part
of the school and community. Albany is proud
of its band.
The annual concert by the band was given in the high school auditorium on the
night of February 4. It proved to be the most successful entertainment of this kind
ever given within the portals of our school. Numerous solos and extra features greatly
enhanced the program. With the addition of oboe and bassoon to the repertoire of
the instruments the instrumentation of the band is much nearer completion.
The popularity of the band this year is due to a very capable group of officers
and to Mr. Nicholls, who plays no small part in making the band a success.
The officers are as follows: president, Bruce Senders; vice-president, Robert
Ferguson; secretary-treasurer, Clifford Davis; manager, Max Rohrbough; and libra-
rian, Arnold Wolverton:

ORCHESTRA
UV-THE Albany High School orchestra is much larger and better than it has been
for some time, as there are many new instruments and faces. The addition of
an oboe and a bassoon has proved to be a great help. The organization has thirty-six
members, an increase of nine members over last year.
The orchestra has played at many public entertainments and has aided in numerous
high school assemblies. It also played in the annual high school band concert, which
was held on the evening of February 3. In this program selections from Schubert,
Bizet, and other well-known composers were rendered. The concert was a pleasing
success and showed to a high degree the musical ability of the orchestra.
Under the careful guidance of Mr. Nicholls, the orchestra has steadily improved
until it is now looked upon as an organization of great talent and ability. The officers
for this year are as follows: president, Florence Clifford; vice-president, Martha
Harris; secretary-treasurer, Victor Warfield; manager, Robert Ferguson; librarian.

OPERETTA
“BETTY LOU, THE DREAM GIRL”
By Geoffrey Morgan and Lida Larrimore Turner.
PROBABLY the most successful operetta in recent years was presented on January
14 by the combined glee clubs under Miss Ruth Yoders capable direction. 1 he
name is only faintly suggestive of the amusing and absorbing plot and the delightful,
“catchy” tunes.
Clare Stewart gave a sparkling performance in the title role; this is the second
successive year she has carried the lead. Julian Bryant, in the masculine lead, and
Victor Warfield, as the humorous “villain,” showed extraordinary dramatic as well
as musical talent.
Margaret Morrison as Betty Lou’s flirtatious and unscrupulous stepmother gave
a fine interpretation of a difficult role and won praise for her lovely mezzo-soprano
voice. Mary Looney, in the speaking part of the maid, threw about that character
the atmosphere which distinguishes all her performances.
Every member of the cast interpreted his character truly and cleverly, and unusual
vocal ability—some of it heretofore undiscovered—was displayed.

THE WHIRLWIND a
A well-trained vocal chorus ably supported the cast with a nice combination of
volume and harmony. A dance chorus of eight girls, coached by Miss Kelly, gave
three clever dances in appropriate costumes during the production, and this added
greatly to its beauty.
Robert Ferguson as business manager, Marian Fitzpatrick as property manager,
and Katherine Boucher and Dorothy Smith as accompanists on piano and violin re-
spectively, all contributed substantially to the success of the operetta.
1 he value of Miss Voder’s fine coaching cannot be overestimated. With her
pleasing disposition she was able to keep the entire group interested throughout the
long period of rehearsals, and her own musical talent was reflected in the production.
It was under her direction that the operetta was made a financial success as well as
a “thing of beauty.”

SOCIETY
SOPHOMORE RECEPTION
The sophomore reception, held on October 7 in honor of the new students and
teachers, went off with a bang, despite the students’ continual cry of “Air! We want
air!” This plea was truly heartrending, and any passerby would gladly have come
dashing to the rescue.
Our noble student body president, none other than Ivan Zimmerman, gave a
masterly address of welcome to the new members.
Bobby Lee, sophomore president, came unabashed to the footlights and delivered
his speech.
A tour of the building was the undoing of all those unfortunates who claim weak
constitutions. Those unlucky souls, however, managed to struggle back to the assembly,
where they could be restrained no longer. And let us say this: the “eats committee”
did nobly to feed the stampede and live to tell the tale.
PAPER STAFF LUNCHEON
I he birthday of Mr. Grigsby, the beloved and hard-working print shop supervisor,
was the occasion for a delicious noon luncheon on October 15, in the D. S. laboratory.
This surprise party was “perpetrated by the print shop gang,” with arrangements
in charge of Miss Braden and Laura Margaret Smith.
Interest centered upon two large angel food cakes. The staff’s love and appreciation
were made known to “Grigs,” who responded with a short, spicy combination of
humor and advice.
G. A. A. PARTY
On October 29, 30, the Girls’ Athletic Association held a Hallowe’en party
at the country home of Katherine Boucher. Games, dancing, and stunts were the main
events of the evening. While the groups were putting on their stunts in the other
rooms, one person went to the kitchen to discover two jugs of cider and a bag of
doughnuts out walking. Later the jugs came back, one empty. Refreshments were
then enjoyed, and everyone had a lovely time.
THE ORDER OF “A” PARTY
What a wonderful night for a party! With this thought, the lettermen, all feeling
fine and in good spirits after the little exercise with Salem, departed for Tumble Inn.
This pleasant little party was held immediately following the Salem-Albany football
game and was sponsored by the Order of “A” of Albany High School.
During the evening many exciting games were played. A large rubber bathing
ball was the recipient of many hard kicks during the game of soccer. Football and
baseball were also played, dancing being a side issue.
The hall was graciously donated by Mr. and Mrs. Ben Sudtell, who later in the
evening acted as chaperones. After light refreshments were served, the guests officially
inspected the beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs. Sudtell.
JUNIOR ASSEMBLY
The Thanksgiving assembly was presented by the members of the junior class.
Baden Rupert, junior president, introduced the program, which included clever read-
ings by Maxine Willett and Marian Kennelly, selections by the orchestra, banjo and
accordion numbers by Clifford Ames and Leroy Miller, and a tap dance by Barbara
Beam accompanied by Charlotte Lamberty.
Rev. Patterson of the United Presbyterian Church delivered an appropriate
address. After this the fifth grade of Maple School, under the direction of Miss
Barbara Morgan, presented a clever health play.

G. A. A. SKATING PARTY
The members of the Girls’ Athletic Association and their friends held a skating
party at Lewisburg on December 10.
in spite of the damp weather everyone, including the thirty students and four
chaperones, had an enjoyable time.
COMMERCIAL CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY
On Tuesday evening, December 18, the Commercial Club of the high school held
its regular meeting in the form of a Christmas party at the home of Alleen Lineback.
Each member present brought some small gift, I hese were then distributed among
tile students and afterwards were given to the Red Cross for the benefit of the poor
children.
A turkey dinner, followed by a musical program, was thoroughly enjoyed by
the club.
SENIOR ASSEMBLY
Following the established precedent, the senior class presented the holiday assembly
on December 24.
Preceding the main feature, the orchestra played a group of pieces, the delegates
from the Older Boys’ Conference gave reports, and the girls’ sextet sang several
selections.
As a climax to the program an impressive and colorful presentation of “Why the
Chimes Rang” was staged. The scores of visiting alumni in the audience expressed
their opinion that this, although brief, was one of the outstanding productions in
A.H.S. history.
GLEE CLUB SKATING PARTY
Representatives of the Glee Club, operetta cast, stage managers, and helpers
enjoyed an evening of skating at Lewisburg on Wednesday, January 4.
The star floor polisher seemed to be “Squeed” Robertson, but it was rumored
that Max Rohrbough also had a serious mishap; even Bobby Ferguson was not ex-
ceptionally lucky.
The rink closed at 10:30, and everyone went “right straight home.”
OPERETTA CAST PARTY
The members of the operetta cast were entertained at the home of Julian Bryant
on January 24. The evening was spent in playing games and in dancing, at the
close of which delicious refreshments were served. The entire cast, consisting of
twelve persons, was present, and an extremely enjoyable evening was spent by all.
Miss Ruth Louise Yoder, director of the operetta, acted as chaperone.
SOPHOMORE ASSEMBLY
As it has been the annual custom of the members of the sophomore class to stage
a Washington’s Birthday assembly, they presented a patriotic program on February 23.
There were several songs by individual members of the class as well as by the
boys’ sextet. The stately minuet and the lively Virginia reel were reproduced in
good style.
The orator of the day, the Hon. J. K. Weatherford, spoke on the ever interesting
subject — George Washington. Since the occasion also commemorated Abraham
Lincoln, the speaker compared the two great national leaders.
All in all the program was a huge success, and the sophomores deserve a great deal
of credit for the entertainment which they so delightfully presented.

WHAT OUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN WILL ENJOY
5ITTING in the lamp-light, watching the fire flicker and die out, I see a vision
of the future, an impossible dream, it would seem now, but as the vision becomes
clearer and develops in the fiery coals, I see the high school year of 1951 unroll before
my eyes. There is a magnificent school with conveniences which are unheard of in
this year of 1931.
The old red brick high school, which housed so many human destinies and is still
dear to the memory of those who spent three happy years within its walls, has been
torn down. The night before its destruction crowds were out to gaze for the last
time upon the now desolate building. The schoolhouse stood empty and forsaken until
someone turned on the lights, and those who had been former students there passed
through, identifying many scars on the empty desks and wandering through rooms
which had been so familiar to them in days gone by. When they glanced in from
the outside, it seemed as if there were some youthful high school celebration in progress,
with every window lighted, seeming to hold out eager arms to the crowds outside
as though realizing that this was the last night of an eventful life.
From the dust of the old building a new modern structure has been erected, a
magnificent piece of architecture occupying four blocks with a beautiful park sur-
rounding the school. The roof of the building is so constructed that the hundreds
of individual airplanes can be easily parked there, while their owners simply take
an elevator from the roof down to the main floor of the building.
But the studying! My heart leaps with joy as I see how simple this dreaded
part of school life has become. First of all there is a complete absence of teachers!
The government of the school is entirely conducted by the upperclassmen. Subjects
are taught only by the use of the radio, motion pictures, and talkies.
For such subjects as history, geography, and English literature there are films.
We hear the troubles of Mary Queen of Scots from her own lips. Such famous
characters as Queen Elizabeth, Marie Antoinette, and Napoleon live and breathe
again through the magic art of the screen.
And now the bell rings for geography. Again through the wonderland of filmdom
we visit the jungles of Africa and eat tropical fruits with the natives of Hawaii.
We go to the Alps and enjoy winter sports with the Swiss boys and girls.
Again the bell rings. This time it is an English literature class, and the great
classics of the ages are unrolled before our eyes. Shakespeare and Milton themselves
interpret their classics to us by way of the “talkies.”
The crash of a book falling from my lap awakens me. I pick it up. “Our Gov
eminent” is printed on the cover. Alas! This civics assignment must be studied in
the same way our great grandfather learned his lesson—by concentration and hard
work. This gilded dream of lessons acquired without effort may be a possibility for
our children’s children, but—after all, who knows? Time alone will tell.

WANDERLUST
Corne! I would tempt you to far away,
Over the hill and lea.
Just fold your duties and cares away
And follow the road with me.
Over the wild and windy moors
Romance is beckoning.
Yield to the charm of the magic lures
Of a wide white road in Spring!
O'er hill and vale—through forests green—
Down to the wind-swept sea—
Oh, leave the city for paths serene:
Follow the road with me!
—Cleo Bartcher, ’31.
A PHILOSOPHY
Life is a road that upward creeps—
Up to the shining stars;
Along the road of rugged steeps
Hardship the pathway bars.
A weary journey it seems sometimes;
P1 eary, but joyful, too;
For no one alone the roadway climbs,
But with the friends who are true.
Sometimes the burden is hard to bear;
Sometimes the way seems long;
But turn to a friend who is waiting there
JVith a smile of cheer and a song.
Oh, what a friend can mean to you.
Traveling along life’s way;
A loyal friend who is always true.
Lighting each weary day.
But would you find e’er you reach the goal
Happiness through life's hoursf
Then be a friend to some other soul.
Helping him toward the stars!
—Cleo Bartcher, ’31.

LIFE OF AN AVERAGE SENIOR GIRL
(Extracts from biographies by the senior classes)
A ARY’ SMITH was born May 16, 1913, in Tacoma, Washington. She weighed
the enormous amount of two pounds. She was a very brilliant baby for her
size, and her mother laid her in a soup howl while she washed dishes.”—(M. F.)
“She grew to be a normal, pretty, healthy child, who ran away from home quite
often . . . bought candy and charged it, and stole pickles out of the keg back of
the loggers’ cook house.”—(G. B.)
“When she was a very small child, Mary had an imaginary companion whom
she had christened Camphor. One time her parents took her to a party at a hotel,
and while there she talked with Camphor and showed him all the places of interest
in the hotel. Upon reaching home that evening she began to cry as if her heart would
break. Her mother asked what in the world was the matter. Mary answered that
she had left Camphor at the hotel. That was the natural death of Camphor.— (D. S.)
“Her two brothers never contributed to her peace of mind; in fact, they were a
disturbing element. They had a mania for teasing their little sister, and this never
railed to infuriate her. Mary’s temper in those days was something to beware of—
it is yet, if it escapes the bonds of control. One day when she was particularly angry
at her brother, she picked up a hammer and hurled it at him. Everything would
have been all right, but the head came off the hammer and struck him in the head,
causing a deep gash which had to be sewed up by a doctor.
“Her mother did not scold Mary, who now felt very sorry, because she (Mrs.
Smith) was of the opinion that it was good enough for the brother and might teach
him to be more considerate in the future.”—(C. S.)
“She started to school at Brownsville when she was five years of age. It was
there that her bad luck began. First, she broke her arm while playing follow-the-leader
with her brother. Next, her mother had to go to the hospital for over a month. Man-
had to miss school for a while, but she did have an opportunity to go to the picnic
with the others on the last day of school. To her discouragement, however, she fell
into the river, which was five feet deep. She was rescued but had to go home for
dry clothes.”—(J. S.)
“Before proceeding further it would be wise to attempt a brief description of the
girl herself and a few of her personal characteristics. She is five feet four inches
in height and weighs 122 pounds. Her hair is fair and wavy and is usually drawn
into a low roll at the back. Her eyes are large and blue with very dark lashes
and brows.
“T he stranger at first receives a general impression of demureness, but may I
here and now correct this erroneous idea? May 1 cite an instance, needless to say
in her earlier life, when she kicked so hard when her father attempted to turn her
across his knee that to this day he bears a scar on his nose. Mary’s chief characteristics,
I believe, are humor, capability, and genuine intelligence.”—(B. S.)
“Mary has traveled in Mexico, California, Washington, and Oregon. She has
visited Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as many other towns and cities of
lesser importance.”—(A. 1).)
“Mary intends to devote her complete future (after graduation) to the study
of aviation. She intends to be an aviatrix and to travel extensively. She often remarks
that her great ambition is to go to China.”—(T. C.)
“Considering her excellent character, her charming personality, and her past
successes, I feel quite justified in saving that hers will be a most successful and happy
life.”— (L. M. S.)

FUTURISTIC THOUGHT
A 1980 version of the Albany High School Constitution, by
Edith Calavan, with amendments by Prof. R. A. Buchanan.
PREAMBLE
Whereas, the present constitution of Albany High School is obsolete and antique
and has not kept pace with the modern trend of events, we have taken upon ourselves
the responsibility of writing a more fitting and appropriate one.

for the generations to come; that caps and gowns shall not be thought proper for high
school graduating classes and that they shall not in any way be considered.

carried, there shall be a full credit given to such activities as dramatics, athletics,
and music, for every year.
ARTICLE 2.
Section 1. The members of the faculty shall in no way have the power of deciding
against innocent and harmless habits of the students, such as gum chewing, absence
from class, or tardiness, or determining the number of students talking simultaneously
on the floor.
ARTICLE 3.
Section 1. It shall be thought proper and seemly that there be a democratic form
of government run for the students and by the students; that teachers be required

students from room to room and to and from school.
Section 2. Laws shall be considered and passed only by the student body with
no dissenting voice from the faculty.
ARTICLE 4.
Section 1. It shall be declared that the faculty be consulted for advice and sug-
gestions only and shall in no way whatever have power to sway public opinion.
They must tolerate this constitution and keep their mouths shut.
ARTICLE 5.
Section 1. It shall be stated that contract and project work be banished from
the regular routine of school work.
Section 2. That all tests shall be objective and they shall be given only when
the students have unanimously consented that they are prepared for one; that each
student make out his own list of questions, and if any ask questions which he cannot
answer, that the teacher be required to answer them to the satisfaction of the student.
ARTICLE 6.
Section 1. It shall be decided that for such outside activities as the carnival, plays,
operettas, and football games, the students shall be excused from various classes at
alternate times and not be required to make up this work.
ARTICLE 7.
Section 1. It shall be in accordance with the law that every student be excused
from school for one-half day once every week and not be questioned as to his where-
abouts during that time.

free of charge upon the display of student body tickets which they secure at the first

ARTICLE 9.
Section 1. Be it further enacted that a special physician be in attendance at
the high school to give immediate treatment to students taken with brain-fag; and
that refreshments be served after each class period.
Section 2. Be it further, again, and once more, enacted that all teachers be re-
quired to stand “at attention” while students pass by; that male teachers remove their
hats and that female teachers remove their wraps and galoshes.
ARTICLE 10.
In the years to come the future generation will read the constitution their ancestors
so zealously worked out and will praise the foresight and wisdom of those long
departed seniors.

GIRLS’ LEAGUE
1 HE Girls’ League, an organization with one of the largest memberships in the
school, has attained a very prominent place among school affairs. Every girl in
high school belongs to the league and aids in making it a highly successful organization.
This year many things were accomplished by the Girls’ League, as it was very
active in school work. It managed the serving of a five-cent hot dish to the students
each noon, a practice established only this year but very popular because of the price
and the quality of the food. Elma Morton and Gladys Meyers directed this service
in both the Madison school and the high school. The lunches were very appetizing,
as the menu was changed every day, only one dish being served at one time, but
always a hot soup or a vegetable. The rest room was also attractively redecorated in
a color scheme of green and black. Among the most prominent of the other activities
of this organization was the presentation of three one-act plays on the evening of
December 3—“The Lonely Hearth,” “Twelve Good Men and True,” and “The
Piper’s Pay.”
Elma Morton represented the organization at the annual meeting of Girls’ League
officers held at the University of Oregon, January 16 and 17, and Gertrude Mishler
was our representative at the annual exposition at Oregon State College, February
13 and 14. They returned with many new ideas which we hope will be of benefit
to the Girls’ League.
At the close of school the Albany High School girls who are considered foremost
in character, scholarship, leadership, and service will have their names engraved on
the Girls’ League silver cup. The girls who received this honor in 1930 were Mildred
Emmett, Mary Dannals, and Dorothy Glann, seniors; Clare Stewart and Elma
Morton, juniors; and Jane Goodale, sophomore.
The officers for the school year 1930-1931 were Gertrude Mishler, president;
Virginia Trapp, vice-president; Jane Bezzant, secretary; Elma Morton, treasurer;
Mrs. Childs and Miss Karhuvaara, advisers.
The girls of the league feel that much has been accomplished this year, and they
hope that next year may be even more successful.

STUDENT BODY REPORT
PPROXIMATELY' four hundred students were enrolled in the Senior High
School for the year 1930-1931. Since the bus lines have made Albany
more accessible, many more students have registered from surrounding communities.
At the beginning of the school year, the sophomores were given a royal reception
by the upperclassmen. The students who were there to welcome the new class had a
very enjoyable time, and the sophomores were made to “feel at home.”
By taxing the organizations giving entertainments we have the payments on the
new stage practically completed. A stage fund was created for this purpose last year
and is now steadily growing.
As usual the student body has enjoyed many assemblies and “pep” meetings.
This year an unusually large amount of school spirit existed in school, and the
student body thoroughly supported all the athletic teams of the school. Burt Brown
Barker, vice-president of the University of Oregon, gave an interesting talk to the
student bodv on January 7. Mr. Barker talked on his experience in trying to find
“East.”
Ivan Zimmerman, Hague Callister, Elma Morton, Ethel Magers, and Dorothy
Hoflich represented the high school at the Annual Conference of High School Students
held at the University of Oregon. Delegates sent to the exposition at Oregon State
College were Bruce Senders, Bob Ferguson, Clare Stewart, Gertrude Mishler, and
Cleo Bartcher.
'Ehrough the splendid cooperation of the faculty, students, and officers, the year
1930-1931 has been a most successful one.
The Student Body officers elected for the year were Ivan Zimmerman, president;
George Bickman, vice-president; Ethel Magers, secretary; Bruce Senders, treasurer.

STUDENT COUNCIL
C HE members of the Student Council elected for the school year 1930-1931 were
Ivan Zimmerman, president; Martin Kropp, first vice-president; Robert Fer-
guson, second vice-president; Betty Conn, secretary; Bruce Senders, treasurer; and
Air. Hudson, faculty adviser.
It is the duty of this organization to attend to the business of the school and keep
it running smoothly with perfect coordination. In order to perform this task the
council has members who represent the student body in general, and who are inter-
ested in seeing that student affairs are carried on in the most efficient manner pos-
sible. This organization, with the cooperation of the students, endeavors to carry
on the business of the school in a manner which it believes to be satisfactory to all
concerned. In order to accomplish this purpose students are permitted to bring any
matters which they wish discussed or acted upon to the council at any of the regular
meetings, where these are carefully considered and deliberated upon before any action
is taken by the student body.
Another of the duties of the council is to take care of such business as the
choosing of delegates to represent the high school at the numerous conventions, con-
ferences, and expositions held annually throughout the state. It also does its best
to settle the school problems that are constantly arising, pay many of the bills in-
curred by the school, and select the important committees which are needed from time
to time to settle school problems.

GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Ol LTHOUGH the Girls’ Athletic Association is one of the most recently estab-
C l lished organizations of the school, it is recognized as one of the most promi-
nent. Its chief aim is to promote leadership and good sportsmanship among the girls
of Albany High School.
To become eligible for membership, a girl must earn ten points. This can be done
by making a first team in some sport or two second teams in two sports. This means
that all members must be girls who have actually taken part in athletics.
The sports in which the girls participate are volleyball, basketball, baseball, track,
and tennis. They also learn clogging, folk-dancing, and stunts during the year.
The four awards that can be won by the girls during their four years in school
are for fifty, one hundred, one hundred and fifty and two hundred points. These are
given by the State Physical Education Association upon the payment of twenty-five
cents, with the exception of the one hundred and fifty point numeral, which is pre-
sented by the high school. These awards, since they are not easily won, are greatly
cherished by the girls who receive them.
Besides the gymnasium work there are other activities of the Girls’ Athletic Asso-
ciation. Each year the girls present some sort of a program to show what has been
accomplished during the year and to give to other students an idea of what the associa-
tion does. Besides this presentation the girls have regular monthly meetings, during
which a short program is presented, with members taking part. Refreshments are
served, and new members are initiated.
The officers for this year are Edith Bear, president; Barbara Beam, vice-president;
Thelma Fisk, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Marjorie Kelly, instructor and adviser.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
Commercial Club of Albany High School, which was organized in 1923,
s an honorary society within the commercial department. This club, one of
the most prominent in the school, is an organization of all high school students who
have won an award for proficiency in typing or shorthand or have received a grade
of 2 or more in bookkeeping.
Until the last two years, students taking bookkeeping were not eligible for mem-
bership in the club, but after many discussions, it was decided that bookkeeping was
a commercial subject as much as either typing or shorthand. The membership is
now between seventy-five and one hundred and is increasing rapidly.
The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in the commercial department.
Many of the students have a period in Mr. Hudson’s office, where they acquire some
experience as an office helper, which will help them in their later business careers.
Because of the fine spirit of cooperation between the members, the Commercial Club
has always been one of the most outstanding in the school.
Mrs. Mabel Penland, typing instructor, is at the head of the Commercial Club.
The other teachers of commercial subjects are Miss Charlotte Thayer, business
English and shorthand; Mr. Sidney B. Miller, bookkeeping, commercial law, and
salesmanship.
The officers of the club are as follows: Gladys Meyers, president; Harold
Whitney, vice-president; Evelyn Arnold, secretary; Max Rohrbough, treasurer.

s THE DRAMAT CLUB
HE Dr am at Club this year has been very active both in high school drama and
in community dramatics. The Dramat Club dramatized the play, “Three Pills
in a Bottle,” and they entered this one-act drama in the forensic contest among the
four valley schools: Corvallis, Eugene, Salem and Albany. This contest was held
in April.
Many members of the Dramat Club took parts in grange entertainments, church
plays, and other community affairs. This indicates that the club has accomplished its
purpose, which is to arouse interest in dramatics and to present plays that are whole-
some and entertaining.
Other members of this club have given numerous one-act plays at various times.
Several members were also in the senior play and were a credit to their class and
to the club.
Fifteen sophomores, ten juniors, and five seniors were taken into the club at the
beginning of the year.
The officers elected to head the organization for the year were: president, Sam
Bikman; vice-president, Marie Bragg; secretary, Glendon McCrary; treasurer,
Richard Stockton.

THE DEBATE LEAGUE
A LL members of both interclass and interscholastic debate teams are eligible to
membership in the Debate League. The purpose of the league is to foster
interest in debate, public speaking, and forensics in general. Many of the members
have enrolled in the new public speaking class conducted under the direction of
Mrs. Childs.
Officers elected this year are Hague Callister, president; Clare Stewart, vice-
president; Laura Margaret Smith, secretary; and George Bikman, treasurer.
With these officers and with an active membership, accomplishments of the league
for this year have been numerous. It sponsored the cycle of class debates which were
finally won by the seniors, with the three lettermen from last year acting as student
chairmen. It also helped in arranging for the interscholastic debates.
Debate League members who have w-on membership and special notice in the
National Forensic League, of which Albany High School is a chapter, are Clare
Stewart, Degree of Excellency; Laura Margaret Smith, Degree of Honor; and Hague
Callister, Isabel Van Waning, and George Bickman. For membership in this associ-
ation these students must have earned thirty points in forensics, must be in the upper
half of their class, and must be juniors or seniors. Only three new members are
admitted each year, and as points are won only bv active work in debates or inter-
scholastic oratorical and extemporaneous speaking contests, admittance into this league
is not easily gained.
As a recognition of distinctive service in this organization, pins which are paid
for from the funds of the Debate League are awarded to the members. These pins
are set with jewels in accordance with the degrees won by the participants.

T hrough graduation but two members, Sam Bikman and Laura Margaret Smith,
were left at the opening of the fall term.
As soon as it was possible to judge the new journalism students, ten new members
were chosen and approved by the national council. Those chosen were Jimmie Clinton,
Margaret Wood, Woodson Bennett, Gertrude Brazel, Dorothy Hoflich, Virginia
1 ripp, Marian Fitzpatrick, Robert Ferguson, Isabel Van Waning, and Edith Bear.
Election of officers resulted as follows: president, Sam Bikman; vice-president,
Dorothy Hoflich; secretary, Isabel Van Waning; treasurer, Gertrude Brazel. Miss
Minerva Braden, journalism instructor and faculty adviser for the paper, has also
capably served as adviser for the chapter.
The initiation and banquet was held in March.
Throughout the year members of the chapter have submitted very creditable copy
to the National High School Awards contest and to four national Quill and Scroll
contests.
I he organization feels that it has done much toward accomplishing its purpose—
that of furthering good journalism in the high school—particularly through the work
which its members have done on the paper and the annual.

FOOTBALL REVIEW
O'-SHE 1930 season started with four lettermen and a number of men who had
V y seen action the year before. The turnout was good, with more than three full
teams in suits, and Coach Tucker started energetically to whip into shape a team which
could face the strenuous season that was to follow. Orcn Sudtcll was elected manager
at a meeting of the Athletic Association, and everything was ready to go.
Albany vs. Brownsville
Albany High School, using only four plays, scrimmaged the Brownsville team,
which was a strong “B” team, as the opener for the season. Paul Bates, Albany’s end,
grabbed a knocked-down pass and dashed over the line for the only touchdown of
the game. The score was 7-0.
Albany vs. Tillamook
I he trip of the season was taken to Tillamook for the second game of the season.
Tillamook won 39-0 in a better game than the score would indicate. The Bulldogs
were handicapped by cramps from the long ride. Mr. Hudson accompanied the boys,
and Dan Zeh drove the school bus.
Albany vs. Hill
The Albany Bulldogs lost a hard game to the Hill Military Academy of Portland
at Albany on October 17. 1 he score was 13-13 in the last minutes of play when
a speedy Military hack intercepted a pass and ran sixty yards for a touchdown. The
final score was 20-13.
Albany vs. Eugene
Albany went to Eugene and lost 19-0 on a field of mud. The Eugene scores came
in the first half, but in the last half Albany rallied, taking the ball to the shadow of
the opponents’ goal, but not quite scoring. One of the Eugene tallies was a result
of a returned punt by Earl Vossen, a former Albany player.
Albany vs. Cottags Grove
Cottage Grove defeated Albany 6-0 in one of those games where one of the teams
is not playing the kind of a game that it can. A situation unusual to football resulted
in this game. Because of a time out simultaneous with the end of the game, Albany
was allowed one more play, so a pass was chosen. Clinton passed to Zimmerman, who
carried the ball to the ten-yard line before he was downed. A one-chance-in-a-thousand
almost resulted in a score which might have won the game.
Albany vs. Corvallis
Corvallis showed its superiority for another season by mastering the Albany team
in a night game played on Bell field, Corvallis. The game was a charity game spon-
sored by the Elks Lodge. The score was 40-0. Albany’s only near approach to a
score was in the closing minutes of the game. Merritt threw a long pass to Clinton,
and this netted 45 yards before he was stopped on the eleven-yard line.

Albany vs. Springfield
With renewed “pep Albany defeated Springfield by the use of line plunges, of
which McClain was the principal ball carrier. The score was 14-0.
Albany vs. Salem
Albany lost to the strong Salem team 42-7. Albany was one of the very few
teams that succeeded in scoring on the Salem outfit. Albany’s score was the result
of a pass from Merritt to Bennett, which put the ball on the ten-yard line. Then a
line plunge by McClain carried the ball over for a touchdown.
Albany vs. Lebanon
The biggest game of the season was played with Lebanon at Albany on Thanks-
giving Day. The game was closely contested, with Lebanon fighting all the way.
Lebanon at one time carried the ball to Albany’s three-yard line before the advance
was stopped. Superior playing of the Albany line resulted in two touchdowns. The
final score was 13-0.
The season was not so successful as to victories; however, no serious injuries were
sustained, and Albany showed fine sportsmanship throughout the season.
During the season the “B” team of Albany played several games with Corvallis
and Philomath. Through them Coach Tucker has built fine material for next year.
At a special assembly the letters were awarded to seventeen men. Nine of these
men graduate, leaving eight lettermen to form the nucleus for the next year’s team.

A. H.S. BASKETBALL, ’31
I HE Albany basketball team opened the hoop season under a handicap, having
only two lettermen from the 1930 squad in the lineup. The Bulldogs will lose
live out of the seven lettermen from the 1931 varsity, but prospects for next year are
brighter, as many of this year’s second team have shown real stuff in all of their games.
I he Bulldog hoopmen started with two practice games with Sweet Home. Al-
though the Albany quint won both games, they showed ragged team-work and inex-
perience. The score of the first game was Albany 31, Sweet Home 30. The second
game ended A.H.S. 28, Sweet Home 22.
1 he next week Springfield invaded the Blue and Gold camp and walked away
with a 36 to 20 victory.
The traditional rivalry between A.H.S. and Corvallis was resumed when the
Spartans came to Albany to determine the supremacy in the hoop game. The Maroon
and Blue squad emerged, holding the long end of a score of 33 to 15. The return
game found two determined teams on the floor. Albany made a fine comeback but
tired a little at the finish, and again Corvallis won, 26 to 17.
1'he Blue and Gold second string played two whirlwind games with the Corvallis
second string. In the first game Albany led 12 to 5 at the half, but the Spartan
reserves made a brilliant comeback, ending the game 21 to 17 for Corvallis. The
second game ended Albany 12, Corvallis 19.
The Bulldog basketeers again hit a streak of bad luck in the Lebanon series.
The second team started the night off with a crashing victory, winning 38 to 10.
The varsity five could not overcome the terrific pace of the Lebanon hoopmen and
lost 32 to 24.
The final game again went to Lebanon by a lead of one point. This was the closest
and one of the hardest games of the season. The score at the final was 15 to 15,
and this necessitated a three-minute overtime period. During this period both the
Bulldogs and the Lebanon five sank one field goal, but Keith, rangy center, tossed
a free throw for the one winning point, the final score being A.H.S. 16, Lebanon 17.
1 he series with Salem found the Albany quintet almost helpless under the terrific
drives of the Vikings, runners-up for state championship. Both games were one-sided,
the first ending 52 to 18, and the second game 45 to 11. For the first quarter in
the last game the Bulldogs showed their real fighting spirit, and almost held them
score for score. Finally the Vikings settled down to their uncanny, machine-like
advances and scored at will.
In the last game on their own floor, the Albany basketball team met for the first
time the aggregation from the Hill Military Academy at Portland. This was another
close game, the half ending with Hill one point ahead. The cadets came back the
second half with their battery in full blast, and the final gun ended the game with
A.H.S. 17, Hill 21.
The second team, in their last game, won from the Cadet second team 23 to 15,
with White and Sudtell leading the scoring.
Behind but still game, the Bulldogs took defeat from Springfield again, in the
roughest battle of the season. From the opening until the final it was nothing more
than a high class brawl. The lead swung back and forth with the result hanging in
the balance. Although there were few fouls called, both Coach 'Fucker and Coach
May agreed that it was a good spring training for football. 'File half found Albany
leading 17 to 16, but the Bulldogs could not find the basket in the last half, with
the result that Springfield won 27 to 21.

THE A. H.S. TENNIS TEAM
(' f ENNIS reached a peak in Albany High School during the 1930 season. For
the third consecutive year our tennis team won the Willamette Valiev cham-
pionship, winning five matches out of seven and sweeping all valley competition before
it. For several years the team has been recognized as one of the best among the high
schools in the state, and last season’s record further strengthens its hold on state laurels.
Team members who won letters were Sam Bikman, Hague Callister, George
Bikman, Bruce Senders, Bob Poliak, and Harold Montgomery. Montgomery was
the only graduating member of the team.
The scores in the Willamette Valley matches were as follows:
At University High 4; Albany 3.
At Salem 1 ; Albany 4.
At Corvallis 1 ; Albany 5.
At Albany 4; Silverton 1.
At Corvallis 2; Albany 5.
At Albany 2; Salem 3.
At University High 0; Albany 6.
Although Albany lost once to University High and to Salem, the total scores of
the matches gave Albany a decided advantage, and since our team had beaten Cor-
vallis twice and Silverton once, it justly claimed the valley championship.
At the end of the season the team took a trip to Southern Oregon, invading
Grants Pass and Medford. Although Albany lost both matches, the team received
a great deal of experience, which will be of much benefit during the coming season.
The outlook this year is unusually bright, since five lettermen are back to consti-
tute the team, and another championship is predicted for Albany.
Matches have been scheduled with Salem, Silverton, Eugene, University High,
Corvallis, and the O.S.C. Rooks.

1930 BASEBALL
j FTER a lapse of two years, baseball was again made a major sport. The
- • team made an excellent showing, winning five out of the nine games played
Those teams defeated were Corvallis, 7-6; Brownsville, 3-0; Lebanon, 10-3; Albany
College, 7-0; and 'Pangent, 4-2.
Rupert and Warfield each pitched a shutout game, Rupert also getting credit
for the Lebanon and Corvallis games. Mitchell, a southpaw, defeated Tangent.
Bates played every game behind the bat, and the pitchers were well supported with
an infield consisting of Hauswirth at first, Marks at second, Clinton at shortstop,
and Merritt at third. Merritt went to first when Hauswirth was injured, Watson
taking third. The outfield played the entire season with only one substitution, as
the fielders, Vossen in left, Haskin in center, and McCrary in right worked very
well together.
Bates, Marks, Clinton, Haskin, and McCrary played the whole of each of the
nine games in their respective positions. Those earning letters were Lloyd Bates,
Jim Clinton, Bill Haskin, Armin Hauswirth, Bob Marks, Don McCrary, Abe Mer-
ritt, Harold Mitchell, Baden Rupert, Earl Vossen, Gerald Warfield, and Ed Watson.
Hauswirth, Watson, and Bates graduated, while Haskin, Vossen, and Warfield
have moved away. Coach Tucker has the nucleus of a good team for 1931, and
thirty-five have signified their intention of turning out for the squad.
Much credit is due Coach Ira Tucker for his efforts with the baseball team, as
he was also forced to coach track at the same time. It is hoped that this year some
system will be devised whereby he will be able to concentrate his efforts upon base-
ball alone.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
HK girls’ basketball season opened with a bang! The juniors and the seniors
Vly were both determined that they were going to be the champions of the school.
The seniors were a little more determined, because this was their last chance at high
school basketball championships, and it was through this determination that the seniors
defeated the juniors in two hard-fought games, both by a one-point margin. Eight
senior girls “went out” for basketball. Because they were all first team players, Miss
Kelly, the girls’ physical educational instructor, did not choose any substitutes for
the senior team. Instead, two of the girls played only a half in each game. The girls
on the championship team were as follows: Nadyne Reiley, Florence Clifford, Gladys
Meyers, forwards; Clare Stewart, Betty Stuart, guards; Isabelle Van Waning, Edith
Bear, Ethel Magers, centers.
Those who were chosen all star players arc Nadyne Reiley, Joyce Bino, for-
wards; Clare Stewart, Nellie Fisk, guards; Barbara Beam, Ethel Magers, centers.
This year two new sports for girls have been introduced. They are tennis and
swimming. Several years ago tennis was one of the popular sports among the girls,
but in recent years it has not been so important. However, it is again stepping forward
and taking its old place at the head of sports. Swimming has never before been taught
in this school, but if the w’eather permits, the girls will receive instructions in sw’im-
ming at Bryant Park.
