A MODEST EULOGY K »• K We are a very modest class. In fact modesty is our chief characteristic, but we are becoming more impressed with the self-evident fact that we are the finest class in every way and have the most wonderful qualities of all the classes which the Coquille High School ever has known or ever will know. Our extreme modesty prevents our putting this any stronger. Let us call attention to a few things which substantiate this claim. Turn back to the cover. Did you ever see a better cover on any annual, anywhere? Of course not, and you never will. A Junior drew that cover. Now look carefully through the Laurel. You will not find one drawing without the signature of a Junior. You will find that the basketball captain, two of the other basketball boys; the Rooter King, three of the cast of the Public Speaking play, one in the German play, the Music reporter and the Typewriting reporter all came from the ranks of the Juniors. By our section you will see that we have two clever poets. Poems from the pens of both have been published in the leading newspapers of our fair city and have gone all over the United States. In our studies we also shine. Our inventive power when called on for recitations is simply wonderful. We defy any member of any other class in the High School to perform more gymnastics with English grammar than our hugest member. And, speaking of size, do you realize that we have the tallest girl and by far the largest boy in the school? Another class might boast if they had a member with as manly a frame and broad shoulders as our worthy giant, but boasting is a bad habit in which none of our class indulge. Compare our picture in this Laurel with the one of last year. Do you recognize in the manly form reposing gracefully on the right arm of the chair in the former, the child in the front row of the latter? The marvelous growth in stature and self-esteem of this member is only symbolic of the strides forward which the entire class has made in all lines. Then what other class can claim a real live elopement? Or sport a real diamond ring? We could go on indefinitely recording our claims to fame but space and our modesty permits only one more. Did you ever before see a class where each girl could lay such a strong claim to beauty, each boy to a handsome countenance? This
