7 urnfnnrh QKMID murmuring brooks and the twitter of birds stand the magnificent fir trees for which our state is famous. Acres of these fine evergreens carpet the mountains of our Oregon. In this year, 1942, our government is in desperate need of lumber- lumber for the cantonments, battleships, airplanes, and official buildings. Were it not for the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the defense of America could not be so eiective. We have chosen this great industry as the theme for our Whirlwind Annual this year. As a feature, we are presenting Paul Bunyan, the mythical herculean lumberjack who performed all kinds of impossible feats to further his chosen vocation. The insert pages and written material of this book combine the legends of Paul Bunyan with the reality of forestry today. As the western sun sets on another year here at Albany High School, we recall the pleasant memories of friendships with teachers and fellow students. Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree- A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast: A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray: A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hairg Upon whose bosom snow has laing Who intimately lives withfraing Poems are made by foolsllike me, But only God can make a tree.

Pehirzriinn DUTY has called two of our beloved teachers to their posts as officers in the United States Army. To Mr. Carlton Richter. Coach Tommy Swanson, and to the boys from Albany High School who are in the service we dedicate our 1942 Whirlwind Annual. Coach Swanson, better known as Tommy, was called to active service in J anuarv of this year, after two and one half years of teaching in Albany High School. Coach of several fine football teams, Mr. Swanson also produced wrestling and track teams worthy of notice. He was instructor of sophomore world history and was adviser of the senior class last year. Mr. Carlton Richter was bookkeeping teacher in Albany High School for two years. Last year he organized the Bookkeeping Club and was its adviser. He was faculty adviser of the Livewires during the time he taught here. Lieutenant Carlton Richter departed for Camp Roberts as soon as school closed last spring. We have missed these friendly overseers of our high school days, but we know they are doing their part in defending the country we love. We wish you the best of luck, Lieutenant Richter, Lieutenant Swanson, and our boys in the service. 11.1---li
