THE PERISCOPE 1924 CHARLOTTE ORR EDITOR RAY IMBLER MANAGER DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL VOL. VI. ADMINISTRATION CLASSES --o- ACTIVITIES DRAMATICS ATHLETICS AUTOGRAPHS FORWARD ITH this Annual Edition of the Periscope the present staff bids farewell. Others will take our places next year and we leave to them our best good wishes. We desire to thank all who have assisted us in the undertaking, and to particularly thank the business men of Dallas for their financial aid in advertising furnished. Without that help this Annual could not have been issued. We trust our efforts are appreciated and this Annual be a credit to Old Dallas High. S. E. WHITWORTH, Principal To our Principal MR. S. E. WHITWORTH grateful remembrance of his kindness, good sportsmanship, sympathy and encouragement. R. R. TURNER, Superintendent of Schools PERISCOPE 9 THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL As the Periscope goes to press especial Interest on part of Dallas High School faculty and students is directed to the new high school building now in process of construction. The contract calls for completion of the building by August 1st. This will givfc ample time to attend to the details of equipment before the opening of the next session, which will probably be about the last Monday in September. The plans were drawn with an eye to the future growth of Dallas and the building now under construction is intended as the “first, unit” of a larger building that undoubtedly will be necessary some time, not in the very distant future, to take c.i1 e of the high school needs of our growing and prosperous community. This is to be the Senior High School, and the present High School building on Main Street is to become the Junior High School. The building now under construction will contain the essential features of a modern high school building. These essential parts are planned with a view ultimately to care for a much larger number of pupils than can be accommodated in the first unit. This will lie made possible by the addition of more class rooms, and this can he accomplished as the future may demand without remodeling this first unit. On the ground floor will be located the Manual Training department, gymnasium, dressing rooms, and showers. The Manual Training Department is located at the north end of the building. The gymnasium faces on the athletic field, is 1)0 ft. by 48 ft. and will have ample space for basket ball court, and for class instruction in physical training. Separate showers and dressing rooms are provided for boys and girls. Extending along the west side of the gymnasium is a spectators gallery, which will accomodate about 350 people. Portable bleachers will make it possible to care for larger crowds at any basket ball game. On the first floor are located the Commercial department, teachers' room, offices for Principal and Superintendent and the class rooms. This floor is on the same level as the La Creole Building to which the new building is to be joined. On the second floor are the Home Economics department, Science department and Auditorium. The Auditorium is directly above the gymnasium. A gallery, stage and dressing room are also provided. When completed, the Auditorium will accommodate about 800 people. The amount of funds available for building purposes was not sufficient to secure a bid for completing the entire building as originally planned. Instead of calling for new plans and erecting a building that would need remodeling within a short space of time. Dallas is particularly fortunate in the site for the new high school. The old college campus becomes the high school campus and athletic field. This comes from the generosity of public spirited heirs and trustees of the old La Creole Academic Institute. As a matter of sentiment it is a fine thing as well that the La Creole building becomes a component and important part of the new high school building. Many of the prominent citizens of Dallas and Polk county received their education in that historic building now rich in memory of earlier days. It seems fitting that those former students of the old La Creole Academy should now have a part in causing to be built around the old walls of the earlier educational center, a new and modern building for the citizens of tomorrow. The class of 1J125 will carry with it the distinction of being the first class to graduate from the new building, and the class of 11)24 will treasure the thought of being the last class to go out as graduates from the old building, with its many happy memories. 10 PERISCOPE The Orange and The Black Independence seems to favour A maroon and gold design ; While the kids of -Monmouth tack on A white and purple sign ; These are foxy combinations, Blit I’ll put up all my stack On old Dallas as defender of the Orange and the Black. Through the four long years of high school Midst the scenes we love so well Where the mystic charms of knowledge. We vainly seek to spell Though we win athletic victories On football, field or track. It will always be for Dallas And the Orange and the Black. When our high school days are over. We may roam these halls no more, Still their presence will he with us, Tho’ we roam the whole world o'er; And whatever our successes, We'll in memory go back To those happy days in Dallas, 'Neath the Orange and the Black. —Glenn Brock '14 PERISCOPE 11 FACULTY A WISE OLD SAGE once said, Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom : and with all th.v wisdom—get understanding.” To fulfill the command expressed in these words, the faculty of Dallas High School carries on the work of instructing some one hundred sixty-five students. For it is the aim of our teachers to teach the mend) ts of their classes to not only understand the contents of the textbooks; but also to apply their knowledge to every day life. As superintendant. Mr. Turner has worked in Dallas Schools for three years; and Mr. Whitworth, ns principal, is just completing his first year. Those who remained from last year are: Miss Morningstar, Mrs. Turner. Miss Acton. Miss Lewis, Mr. Hanna, Mrs. Staats, Miss Xewlainl and Miss Magnus, were added to the faculty in September. Carefree as is youth, we do try to appreciate your work, and to you, teachers of I). H. S. for your ceaseless efforts to make the year ’23-’24 a success, we say—Thank You. 12 PERISCOPE MR.

Wherein lies all our hopes and fears; It is brightened by our happiness, And mellowed by our tears. Painted by the Master's brush. In colors that are deep and lush A brighter shade for the songs A s. mber tint for sorrow's hush. Pastime and it's memories Come back to us in our reveries, As we drift with the ebbing tide Toward tbe sunset seas. That wonderous scheme of things, Each day some happiness brings lit frains from the celestial melody Played 11 Infinity's bidden strings. 16 PERISCOPE Calm, serene, and proud, she standard stands: Her fame diffused through many lands; Love and respect she still commands; We hail thee! Dallas High! 18 PERISCOPE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The four years that we, the present Senior class, have spent in Dallas High, do not seem at all long. When w entered, we were no exception to the rule, as Freshmen always were, so were we. But under the capability of our advisor, Miss Mellinger, we so u outgrew our lack of worldly knowledge. And in our Sophomore year, under Miss Dick, now Mrs. Khvyu Craven, we were just as anxious to tease the Frosli, to make up for our own disgrace, in our own greeness. And in this year we began to gain more of the respect of the upper classes, who are always slow to give any credit to an under class. And to cap the year, we gave the play “Mr. Boh.” The Junior year stands out as our busiest and best. It was in this year we helped to make the Annual a possibility. And the play “Clarence” we gave that year will he remembered by the students for quite a period of time. At the start of the Freshman we were large in numbers, hut at this time they have greatly decreased. But under our capable officers we have given our best to Dallas High. The officers have been: Hill Sanders, president; Marjorie Jackson, vice-president; Verda Saxton, secretary; Willard Brown, treasurer. As we are leaving Dallas High soon, we will look back over our years spent here and think of the many friends we have made, and the delightful times we have spent with them. So it is with regret, Dallas High, that we must part from your good fellowship at this time.

A wonderful surprise!” Eighty gleaming eyes stared at him in expectancy and forty shining noses tilted upward scenting adventure and mystery. “No doubt you have heard of the diggings which have hern carried on recently by the world famous scientist Paprika Mayonaisse, who by the way, happens to be a very dear friend of mine. Pappy has, as you know, been digging in the ruins of a prehistoric city which flourished, I believe, about the twentieth century A. I). He has been discovering rich rewards and the dear boy has sent me this. It seems to be a manuscript—now please don't crowd—and it is written on a thin substance, which tears easily nor is it good to eat. It is white, as you will notice and the characters upon it are of black. It is read from left to right and it took a great deal of bruins and scientific research to decipher it. However I have done so and with your permission I will read it to you.” Tlie professor cleared his threat, blew “Dear Dei, his nose and b’gan to read through it. “Dallas, Oregon, June IS, 1!� 24. “Well, I’m sorry you couldn’t get down to the big jubilee yesterday. You were the only one of the class of '24 who wasn’t present, so if your ears burned it was because you were all we were able to discuss. I suppose tho, as president of the beef trust you can’t leave your mahogany desk long enough to bother with the likes of us. We had a banquet at the Gail in the evening and every one there got up and made a speech to tell what lie or she was doing. Kill Sanders, our former president was first. Hill is running a Kindergarten down in Portland. He seemed to have become rather used to them because lie insisted on having a spoon with a curved handle before be would touch his soup. Gwendolyn Hooker sat on his right. Gwen has turned cow girl and chases about with the round ups in the state. Pendleton is her headquarters. “Freda Yashaw and Bert Curtiss are doing a little vaudeville act together which was written by Viola Wahlford and is called “Why Use Dumbells When Onions Will Make You Just As Strong;” They were too bashful to give two separate speeches so they gave one together and as they both talked at once it was impossible to tell what either said. But it didn't mutter much as Johnnie Tate was making too much noise drinking his soup through his whiskers for anything to lie heard above it. Johnnie lias a job in a circus as bearded lady but his beard is such a bother to him that I don’t think it is worth it. Jennie Itunkle has a job in the same show training elephants and her chum Ahhie Williams is a guard at the pen. “Before the dinner was half over the fire whistle blew and Marjorie Jackson, Vivian Nelson and Williard Brown hopped up from the table and dashed out the front door. Marjorie is chief of the fire department and Vivian is traffic officer and was afraid the cars might get into a jam if she wasn't there to lead them politely but firmly down the right side of tlie street; while Buster is city marshall and has to he on the front row at all state occasions. “About this time Helen Butler came trailing in late to make a sensation. She lias PERISCOPE 27 turned into a regular vamp since we left high school—breaking men's hearts right and left. She was accompanied by Glen Wick in an adorable little blue bonnet with red streamers which set off his complexion admirably. He lias joined the Salvation Army and he carried a clothes basket full of doughnuts which he passed around at the close of the dinner. ‘•At the other end of tin table some one started a rough house and it developed that Clara and Julia were trying to decide which of them was the best. Julia is a missionary and Clara is an Evangelist. They finally tossed up a penny but it rolled down a crack and they would have started the fight again if McCann hadn't interfered. Mac is a professional athlete and quite the best in the state. Why I'll bet you'd have a hard time to find a man in the east that could heat Mac playing tiddlede winks. “We finished our soup and the next course consisted of prunes fried in butter. We thought this strange until we were told that the butter was made by Alice Crider, who owns a dairy farm out of town and delivers milk in a little red flivver every night and morning. The prunes were a new variety of seedless ones invented by Helen Lewis and I� ira Franklin. “Marie Bissell sitting between Alex Kennedy and Hazel Butler was creating a great deal of disturbance. It seems that Marie lias invented a hair growth tonic which she calls Missel’s Mushy Brush,” and she wanted Hazel and Alex to put it in stock. They 1)0th own beauty parlors and are gnat rivals. Hazel calls her shop “The Best Yet” and Alex named his Better Than That.” “When it came time for his speech Ray Imbler told us a charming little tale about Peter Rabbit and Reddy the Fox. He is in the habit of telling such things as he broadcasts bed time stories every night over the radio for the little tykes. That gave Verdu Saxton an idea and she sprang her next campaign speech on us. She is a political boss. When Kennedy Warden got up to speak he told us that he had at last found some me to love him. It was great to he loved, he said, and when he went home at night to have all his family flock about him. He had established a home for stray cats and they were the most affectionate creatures! Why, he had to bring one of the little dears along in his pocket, it was so attached to him and he proceeded to pull it out by its tail. At this Martha Brown gave a loud shriek and fainted. She had gone in a convent because her nerves were not strong and the excitement was too much for her. However Charlotte Orr was soon at work reviving her. She has lots of practice in this line as she is a life-saver at the beach. I've heard that some people almost allow themselves to he drowned just for the pleasure of being rescued by her. I guess that is every one. But the class of ‘24 is still on the map isn't it? Yours,” The professor paused and coughed. “The last word 1 was unable to make out,” he said. “The rest seemed to be printed with a machine and the last word written is such a scrawl that I was unable to decipher it. However it gives you some idea of your prehistoric ancestors. Were they not odd creatures? You will be prepared for a quiz on this tomorrow, please.” 28 PERISCOPE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Know all men by the Presents: That we, the senior graduating class of Dallas High School for tlie year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty four, knowing the weaknesses of our brothers (and sisters) and the certainty of our approaching dissolution, do hereby make this as our last will and testament in manner and form following: Item I.

For our first, and probably hardest year, the following class officers were elected: Kenneth Day, president; Frank Starr, vice president; Homer Ellis, secretary; Warren Dunn, treasurer. This group of officers together with Miss Mellinger succeeded very well in guiding the class through its first year in High School. As Freshmen, our class was represented in every branch of athletics as well as debate. Also in our stage of greenness, the first prize in the high school declamatory contest was won by Homer Ellis. The following year new officers were elected as follows: Oramel Shreeve, presi- dent, Helen Lewis, vice president: Joe Griffin, secretary-treasurer. For our class advisor, Mrs. Turner was elected, which position she filled excellently. The big event of the year was the Junior Glass play. A Pair of Sixes. It was the biggest hit of the season, if not for several seasons and we hope to duplicate it next year. Now that our Junior term is nearly over, we are looking forward with much anticipation to what we may accomplish as Seniors. And with the best wishes to the present Senior Class, we hope to occupy their place with the same pep we have displayed in II T I' former years. “• 36 PERISCOPE ere are ,J the Tyeapers eniuatiy-6)hy A 'oi ou ?

This body has continued to grow in number and influence every year since that time. And at the present time is the most important organization in Dallas High School. Under the original plan, the association consisted of all students who laid paid their semester dues. The organization is one that tends toward the spirit of democracy and the cultivation of self-reliance. This is a splendid ideal and one of the best assets that any school can desire to cultivate. This plan takes the management of the school affairs out of the hands of a few and places it where all can understand and help put over all of the enterprises taken up by the school. At all meetings any member of this organization is given the power of free speech and a chance to express freely his or her ideas on tin matter before the association. This year the Student Body has sponsored many events besides the regular athletic programs. They put over a play made up of the best talent of the High School.

The members were chosen by a series of try-outs or inter-class debates. The first f nr were selected in the order named: Homer Ellis. O.amel Shreeve. Ray Imbler and Willis Balderree. with Grace Stockwell as affirmative alternate and Alice Crider alternate for the negative. As Oramel Shreeve f mud it impossible to continue with his debating work. Grace Stockwell was put on the affirmative team as second speaker with Homer Ellis. On the negative team, Ray Imbler was first speaker and Willis Balderree. second. Our first debate was with Monmouth High School, both affirmative team traveling. The question d bated was: Resolved, that severance tax is a desirable feature of state and local taxation.” In the debate the affirmative team won out at Monmouth unanimously. The negative team lost, however, two to one. Dallas getting four votes to Monmouth’s two. The next debate was with Salem high school on the same question, the negative teams traveling. Although Salem .High won. it was not the easiest thing they bad ever done. Salem won both places by a vote two to one. Salem 4.

And as a whole they have been exceptionahly good for only High School students. The plays this year were very good, and upheld the reputation that was established by the plays “Clarence presented by the Juniors of last year and the play “Saftey Last presented by the Seniors. The Junior play tills year “A Pair of Sixes equaled, if not surpassed, anything that was given. The various entanglements that Boggs Johns, played by Kenneth Day, f und himself in, brought the audience forward in their seats and convulsed them with laughter. This hit of acting earned the entire cast a free trip to the Theater on a Monday night. The Student Body play was also very good. The play “All of A Sudden Peggy though not quite so fast of action, gave the cast a chance to show the audience their ability as actors. This play was a credit to any Student Body and we surely appreciate their efforts. 56 PERISCOPE Back Row—Day. Shreeve, Eberting, West. Ellis.

Although this was the first play that a good many of the cast had ever been in, they can he justly proud of the results. The general comment of this play was that it was the best given by the school in recent years, if not altogether. Much of the credit, however, is due to Mrs. Turner, whose expert coaching helped to make the play a success. Orainel Shreeve and Kenneth Day were the two outstanding characters of the play. Being Quarreling partners in the drug business. The real test came when the one to retire was the one losing at a game of Poker”, the loser also to act as a butler in tlie house of the winner for the period of one year. Boggs John played by Kenneth Day was the loser and consequently the butler. Mr. Xettleson, by Oramel Sbreeve, the winner. There are women in the way as usual, Mrs. Xettleson. by Evelyn Sibley, and Florence Cole, by Barbara Gilbert. And unfortunately Mr. Vanderholt, the company lawyer, played by Ilomer Ellis, was in love with her. This was adverse to the opinion of Mr. Boggs, who thought that this was his sole right, but he wins her in the end. although be was sewed up in the poker game, not to mention the reason for his servitude. And of course Florence had to see him in livery. And as he could not tell her why, she found out and broke tbe contract by proving gambling illegal. Thus her darling Boggs was free while Mr. Vanderholt, who had endeavored to help his friends, and himself, was scathingly denounced by Florence. The entire east of tlit' play was good and played their part like professionals. And the Juniors will give another just as good next year. So be there. 58 PERISCOPE Back Row—Warden.

S. this year again presented a play. The play chosen was AU-of-a-Nudden-Peggy , and it was loudly applauded as a big success. This may in some measure be due to the exceptional acting of the cast few of whom have had much experience in this line. The characters were: Alice Crider ..... Flora Brown ......

Day, Eberting FOOTBALL Owing to the fact that High School started a little late this year, the football men were a little handicapped by the lack of good preparation. hen they did start, however, they drilled faithfully under the coaching of Mr. Hanna. And though they were often against far heavier teams they played their best. The team this year was composed of much new material and we look forward to great prospects for the team next year. And still we are a little downhearted because of the graduation of six of our main players. But we will endeavor to find material to fill these vacant berths. As we must beat Independence next year, everyone must turn out and drill hard. The team this year would have beaten hut for the loss of a few of the “breaks.” And they deserve much praise for their splendid showing. RILL SANDERS—Captain-Guard, 150 lbs. Bill played guard this year and he could always he relied upon to hold down his position and open his hole on the line when Dallas carried the hall. Bill will graduate this year and we will miss his ability to steady down the rest of the fellows. ELOVI) HOLT—Captain-elect. Tackle, 140 lbs. This is Floyd’s first year of football, but promises to develop into a real star. Floyd 62 PERISCOPE is (ini' of the coolest ancl steadiest players on the team. He lias two more years for 1). H. S. to watch him. BURT CURTISS—Full-back, 1! 0 lbs. Curtiss has played four years for D. H. S. and was our main stand-by. With his ‘•battering ram” tactics and remarkable speed Hurt could carry the ball down the field in any game. In a pinch Hurt could always he counted on putting it across for a touchdown. We will miss Burt in our line up next year. JOHN TATE—Half-hack. ISO lbs. This is “Johnnie’s” fourth year on the gridiron for I). H. S. Johnny was one of the best ground gainers on the team. Because of his hard hitting ability and speed needed in end runs, he has always played in the hack field. Johnny will he missed at his half next year. FLOYI) McCANN—Center, 155 lbs. This is Mac’s second year for D. H. S. His height and long arms were used to a good advantage in his position. Mac will graduate this year. JACK CHAPMAN—End, 150 lbs. Jack being one of the veterans of previous years helped to steady some of the fellows new at the game. And his cot lness in a pinch made him a man much to he desired. Jack has two more years. KENNEDY WARDEN—Quarter-hack, 125 lbs. Kennedy as a field general showed up good this year. His ability to pick the right play at the right time helped in the garnering of many points for 1). H. S. This is Ken's last year at D. H. S. JERRY TROMBERLY—Guard. 150 lbs. Jerry, although new at the game, played a stellar brand of ball far Dallas. We could always rely on Jerry getting his man if he could reach him. Jerry is gone and we will miss him in the line the next season. DEAN HELMS—Tackle, 130 lbs. Dean was handicapped by his light weight to some extent, but his ability to bring them down, as he did at Independence and elsewhere showed his ability. And we are glad that Dean will be back for two more years. KENNETH DAY—End. 135 Ills. “Ken” has played for two years at I). H. S. and is especially strong on receiving passes. Ken is one of the “mainstays” for next year's team. HAROLD CHAPMAN—Half-back, 192 lbs. Harold was one of the biggest men on the team this year and was fully capable of holding his own with any man. We wish he could have played all the season. But he will be back again nc.v. year. GEORGE EBERTING—Guard, 135 lbs. George tried hard to make the team hut had to give in because of injuries, but the ability he showed in the Independence game this year makes us wish we had b; en able to use him Last year. However we will have him hack next year. DAN WEST—Guard. KM) lbs. Playing his first year of football, Dan developed into a seasoned veteran. And we wish him the best of luck when he comes hack again next year. PERISCOPE 63 Back Row—Holt, Front Row-Curtiss, Baiery, Warden, Ellis Soreeve, Griffin, Coach, Hanna BOYS BASKETBALL Dallas turned out one of her best teams this year. There was a very large turnout at the first of the seas. n. and basket ball enthusiasm continued throughout the season. We were not only successful on the floor, hut financially as well, as during the Salem game there was tin largest attendance yet registered at any one game. Dallas is proud of this team and its record. It was just a little hard luck that Dallas couldn't seem to get started soon enough with Independence, and all who saw our team play claim that they should have carried off the District Honors. Better luck to them next year. SHREEVE—Captain and guard, was one of the fastest men on the floor in all games. And the low scores of his opponents in all games surely gives evidence of his ability. Dallas is fortunate in having him ba k next year. CURTISS________Guard. Hurt was our mainstay on the floor this year. When he started down the floor with the ball the boys all stepped back and gave him plenty of room. Curtiss and Shreeve made a wonderful pair and in passing down the floor they jnst can't he beat. We will miss Hurt next year. TATE____Center. John played his first year of basket ball this year and showed up 64 PERISCOPE very well. His reach and jumping .ability make ns wish lie was going to lie hack again next year. GRIFFIN—Forwaid. Joe played forward this year and made a very credible shewing. He was right there whenever there was a slim chance even for Dallas to get the ball. He is a fast and heady player. Joe will lie hack again next year. BAIERY—Forward. Earl was a new man this year to Dallas, hut lie had good training as was clearly shown by his ability to cage a hall from almost any angle of the floor. With a little more reserve Earl ought to be one of the best around next year. ELLIS—Forward. Homer is a little fellow alright, hut when it came to size and iu rve no player on the team had him outclassed. If he can just get a little weight this next year, he will hr ready for all comers next year. And we predict that lie will c. an out on top. HOLT—Forward and Guard. Floyd showed up exceptionally well this year and showed his ability at caging the baskets at Mac. this year. Holt has two more years and we are sure they will he a big asset to D. II. S. WARDEN—Forward. Kennedy played his first year on the regular team and made a very credible showing. We feel that Ken would be a comer if he were to be at school next year.

Dallas losing only two games during the season. They had very little trouble in defeating the teams in the county. This team won from Independence both times. We are very proud of our team as they won the County Championship for D. H. S. The girls should he aide to hold up their reputation again next year as much new material seems to he on hand. Although we lose three of our more seasoned players by graduation, we extend tire best of wishes to the team of next year and may they do as well as the team of this past season. 66 PERISCOPE Back Row—Warden, Curtiss. LeFors, Shreeve. Voth, Coach. Hanna Second Row—Helms, Holman, Keeney, Holt, Day Front Row—Forrette, McCann, H. Chapman, J. Chapman, Friesen BASEBALL Basehall started this year a little earlier than usual. Greater interest has been displayed by the players than in former years. Under the coaching of Mr. Hanna, a team should he developed that should equal the teams of former years. Though many of the mainstays graduated last year, the team is really working and showing their spirit. The main trouble seems to fill the position of pitcher. Hut the writer thinks that from Holman’s showing the other day, when playing against Stayton. that this position is well filled for the coming season. The prospective lineups are: HOLMAN ................ Pitcher .T. CHAPMAN ........... Catcher HOLT .............. First Base SHREEVE ........... Second Base VOTH ............... Third Base DAY ................. Center Field II. CHAPMAN .......... Right Field GRIFFIN ............... Left Field Substitutes: Keeney, Forrette, Mc- Cann. Friesen, Balderree. PERISCOPE 67 TENNIS As the Periscope goes to press a little early, the outcome of our Tennis season cannot be readily determined. Thus far they have tournaments with Salem High and TT. of O. Freshmen. The singles were fairly strong with Dallas practically assured of the first singles played by Slireeve who has showed up exceptionally well. Holt, the second singles is a very heady player and we expect him to show up well. ladder, third singles, is god on serving and fair at placing his lialls: we hope to hear of him showing up good this season. The doubles composed of Holt and Slireeve, and Slireeve and Imbler, will do very well also as they are determined to make good showings in order that they might encourage more to play. Thus encouraging a new court along with our new school. These are the ones who will play in the County Tournament again this year, and we hope that they will come back to Dallas carrying the Cup we won so easily last year. 68 PERISCOPE TRACK At the time the Annual goes to press, there has been no start made in developing a track team. Dallas will send a team to Monmouth at the County meet. We wish them the best of luck. May they bring home the bacon. There will he Tate, one of the fastest, and a willing worker when I). H. S. is concerned. Tate will not he back next year but he will probably be one of the winners this year. Tate is one of the mainstays of our relay team. Curtiss will In here also for his last try. Burt is good at long distances and we hope he is successful this year. Burt is a member of the relay team also. Slireeve and Holman will probably he there this year also; they are good enough to bring home all short dashes, and hurdles, being especially fast on short runs. This is the outlook from last year’s team, and there will be many new members to help the older men in this meet. And to them we say, “(Jo in and win.

DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATION To the Fathers and Mothers who through toil and self-sacrifice have made possible these educational privileges, we, the students of Dallas High School, do most gratefully dedicate this annual. c= Page 6 PERISCOPE Hayter Starbuck Craven Staats Crider PERISCOPE Page 7 The School Board Dallas is fortunate in the personnel of its School Board. Its members are of the busy and important citizens of our community. Local politics and other such disconcerting affairs have never entered into the election of members to the School Board. Most of the members have served On the board for a number of years and have thus become more and more valuable to the school through their long term of service and more intimate knowledge with the needs of our educational system. Mrs. J. Riley Craven is serving as Chairman of the Board this session and has been a member of the Board for thirteen years. Mrs. Craven gives much time to school matters and takes a deep interest in school activities in general. Mr. Oscar Hayter has been a member of the Board of Education for eight years. He renders a very valuable service to the school in the competent legal advice he gives gratuitously in all school matters. Dr. A. B. Starbuck is serving his third term, this being his seventh year as a member of the Board of Education. Aside from his keen interest in all school matters. Dr. Starbuck is valuable as a member of the board in his excellent advice in all matters pertaining to health and sanitation. Mr. C. L. Crider has been a member of the Board of Education for the past three years. He was first appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Mrs. Martha Belt and last spring was elected for the term of three years. Mr. Crider takes a keen interest in all school activities; is present at every athletic contest and is regarded as the ‘‘friend of athletics”. If he has a hobbv, it is physical training. Mr. Tracy Staats has served as Clerk of the Board of Education for fifteen years. Such a record of long service and efficiency speaks for itself. Mr. Harry L. Butz has been a member of the Board for the past three years. While one of the youngest members from point of service he takes a lively interest in all matters pertaining to the school. Due to the recent illness of Mr. Butz, the Periscope Staff was unable to secure his portrait for a cut. That the financial affairs of the school district have been competently administered, is shown in the fact that the district is out of debt, except for the balance due on bonds of the new high school. The bonds are due serially and are being met from year to year. There are no old bonds outstanding, and the district at present is on a cash basis —with no outstanding warrants. Few school districts in Oregon can show such favorable financial conditions.

Page lO PERISCOPE Page Campbell Boileau Bowe Petre Garrett Layton Miller Student Body Officers The Student Body Association of Dallas High School was organized in 1914 when a constitution was drawn up and adopted in a meeting of the students on December 14, 1914. This constitution, which went into effect immediately after its adoption, provided for the following officers: President, vice president secretary and treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms. and stated that it should consist of all bona fide students who had paid their semester dues. The duty of this association was to govern all athletics and all activities of the high school. This union and centralized control of activities allowed for a more concentrated attention, and activities increased and were more successful. The officers for this year have been as follows: President. Wayne Page; vice president. Charles Campbell; secretary-treasurer. Laura Boileau; and sergeant-at-arms. Rea iMiller. At the beginning of the year, 1926, the Association decided to charge a student body fee of $2.00 instead of the $1.00 which had previously been the amount of the annual dues. This amount entitled the student to a ticket which admitted him to all athletic contests and other affairs given under the auspices of the student body. This system has not proved altogether satisfactory from a financial standpoint and it is possible that a different plan will be worked out for the next year.

Page 20 PERISCOPE Petre Card Ellis Senior Class History In the fall of nineteen hundred twenty-three, sixty-three valiant Freshmen entered the halls of Dallas High School—wondering Freshmen, timid: yes, even green, but a group who were eager to learn and willing to play the game to the best of their ability. With this spirit of willingness and good fellowship the present Senior class finished its first year of high school life successfully. As Sophomores we drew a new hand and that old, old maxim “Do unto others as you would be done by” was faithfully carried oat by our class mates for the second year students, with all the arrogance of “A little bit of knowledge” attempted to set an example for the rooks and vie for honors with the upper classes. Members of the class began to enter the lists of school activities and the Sophomore-Freshman reception added spice to the social life. The Junior year is often remembered as one of the busiest and the best for at that time the Junior class came into its own. The girls won the inter-class basketball pennant and several of the boys distinguished themselves in the various athletic activities of the school. Willis Balderree was elected president of the class and Miss Pearl Lewis as adviser. Our first play. “Anne-What's Her-Name”. furnished a great deal of fun for the cast and was well received by the people of the town. The election of Wayne Page as president of the Student Body and the event of the Junior-Senior reception closed the year and paved the way for renewed honors and activities for our Senior year. At the beginning of our Senior year we found that our class had greatly decreased in size. At the first class meeting we chose Miss Feme Gribbin as class adviser and elected the following officers: Albert Petre, president: Edna Card, vice-president: and Virginia Ellis, secretary-treasurer. The Junior-Senior Class party opened the social events of the year. The Senior class won the inter-class debate, and the basketball team ran the Sophomores a close second. We also won the school championship in the yell contest. Albert Petre disguised as an actress in the class play, “The Arrival of Kitty , coached by the class adviser, added zest to the play and furnished the audience much amusement. Four years in Dallas High School has indeed taught our class the rules of the game. We have learned the in s and out's” of student association and have faced some of the graver issues of experience as well. As a class we have endeavored to play the game squarely and as a class we would like to pass that spirit on to other students of our school. PERISCOPE Page 21 Last Will and Testament We, the class of 1927 of Dallas High School, of the city of Dallas.

For our first and probably most difficult year, we elected the following officers: President, Harold Bevens: Vice president, Laura Boileau; Secretary and Treasurer, Charles Campbell. By the willing and devoted assistance of our class adviser, Miss Magness, and other faculty members we safely weathered this first year, and became Sophomores with our class intact. During our second year, we were guided by the following officers: President. Charles Campbell: Vice President, Harold Bevens: Secretary and Treasurer. Laura Boileau: class adviser, Mr. Pillard. We maintained our good record established in our first year, being represented in athletics as well as in debate and declamatory contests. The reception given the incoming Freshman class by our class proved to be a most successful affair, establishing the Freshmen as our frienls throughout the rest of the year. As Juniors we proved our real worth to our Alma Mater. We placed seven men on the basketball squad, three of them being first team men, and the others being on the second string. Three of the four men on the tennis team belonged to our class. Five of the regulars on the baseball team were Juniors, and others were substitutes. We also had one member of our class on the debate team, and many of our members were point winners on the track squad. Our activities were directed by the following officers: President, Jack Forrette; Vice President. Carl Gerlinger: Secretary and Treasurer, Dorothy Page. One of the biggest successes of this year was the play, Officer 666 . given by the Junior class and coached by Miss Gray, class adviser. We are looking forward with eager anticipation to our Senior year, and hoping that we may exhibit as much pep, enthusiasm and school spirit as we have in the past. SOPHOMORE CLASS PERISCOPE Page 27 LeFors Gerlinger Sibley Bollinan Sophomore Class History On a certain rainy day in the year of our Lord nineteen-hundred and twenty-five, forty verdant little Freshmen gazed with awe at the building in which they were to pass four eventful years in trying to pursue that elusive thing, called Knowledge. Starting our first session with th2 spirit that has characterized us through our two years in D. H. S., we elected Miss Magness, class adviser; Robert Hayter, president; Paul Bollman, vice president; Dorothy Minnich. secretary and treasurer. We Freshmen had a wonderful time at the party given us by the class of ’28. We threw a “kid party the next semester in honor of the mid-year Freshies. Although they were not bounteously fed, since we ran out of funds, everyone seemed to have a good time. Several of our members were lost at the end of the year in floundering through the Deep River of Final Exams. The next year we lost all our freshness and foolishness and became sophisticated Sophomores. The new Freshmen were shown a few things by our class. At the first of the term we elected officers, as follows: Robert LeFors, president; Bert Gerlinger, vice president; Catherine Sibley, secretary; Paul Bollman, treasurer. Miss Jamie Farmer was elected class advisor, and has proved to be an exceptional coach for the debaters and declamatory speakers, as our representatives won first place. The Reception which we gave for the new Freshmen at the first of the year was a great success and a large crowd was present. During the second semester Margaret Brown entertained our class at her home. We will always remember the good time we had at her party and the “artistic paper hats we all made. The Sophomores are prominent in school athletics, as we have members of our class on the high school baseball team, track team, basketball team and football team. Our representatives in the Declamatory Contest, Betty Jelinek and Richard Webb, won first place in their division, and Richard also won the grand sweepstakes gold medal. FRESHMAN CRASS PERISCOPE Page 29 P 7 Garrett IV ' 11 ty J Lane Freshman Class History The Freshman Class entered D. H. S. with eighty-three members, many of whom came from the country districts. The Sophomore-Freshman reception, held in the high school gymnasium, was enjoyed by all who attended it. The Freshmen were well represented in athletics, as three members of the class made the football team, namely Eldon Vaughn, Bob Griffin and Rook Page. In basketball. Bob Griffin was the only Freshman earning his letter, but in baseball Bob Griffin, Norman Beebe and Ben Garrett received letters. When the Freshman team played Airlie High School the score was 26-4 in favor of the Rooks. One event in Freshman history that many will not forget was “placing of two rooks into the creek by the Seniors. The Freshmen then reciprocated by coming out in force and ducking all the Senior boys. Mr. I urner then undertook to clear the trouble between the classes and organized a tug-of-war in which the f reshmen were able to hold their own but lost a few feet of rope, so were compelled to all go through the cold water of the La Creole. FRESHMEN Our high school faculty is the best, With Turner at the head. Not the North, or South, or East, or West, Can say what I have said. Whitworth, the kind and courteous man, Has been principal for four long years, Pillard scolds neither Jimmie or Ann, And causes no one to shed tears. Miss Marcy we chose to guide our class Through our first year in high, In English we surely ought to pass, ’Cause Mrs. Van Meter is nigh. There are Gray and Loy and Gribbin, And you know all the rest. Each one deserves a blue ribbon, For they are teachers of the very best.—Leander Quiring. € PERISCOPE Page 31 Bowe Turner Petre Pitzer Quiring Harcombe Leitch Peters Campbell Forette Miller Jelinck Brown Annual Staff After a year’s work and planning, the Class of ’27 leaves to the long list of achievements of Dallas High School, this seventh volume of the Periscope. We have done our best and know that we have received the best from the students and faculty in cooperation and support. We trust that the 1927 Periscope is a true record of the events that have made the life of the High School dear to every student. We hope that it will be valued and appreciated in the years to come as a remembrance of the happy days under the Orange and the. Black. Page 32 PERISCOPE Card Gribben Campbell Keeney Pillard Minnich Debate Dallas had a very successful season in debate this year, winning both Polk County and the middle Willamette Valley championships. The debates given by the Dallas teams gave evidence of thoughtful and careful preparation as well as excellent coaching. Mr. Pillard coached the affirmative team and Miss Gribbin coached the negative team. Charles Campbell and Dorothy Minnich comprised the affirmative team; Edna Card and Eunice Keeney comprised the negative team. The question for debate in this district was, Resolved: That Oregon should provide by law for state ownership and operation of the hydro-electric plants. The question for debate in the State was. Resolved: That the Severance Tax should be made a feature of taxation in Oregon. The schedule of debate was as follows: Independence affirmative at Dallas_________________________Jan. 29 (Unanimous decision for Dallas.)

The officers elected were Paul Parsons, President; Lawrence Syron, Secretary-Treasurer; and Alfred Loy. Faculty Adviser. Page 34 PERISCOPE Girl's Athletic Club The Girls’ Athletic Club was organized, with Mrs. Van Meter as adviser. September 1926, at which time a constitution was drawn up and a point system for Interclass Athletics was devised. On May, 1927, the girls revised the constitution in order to adopt the Oregon State Physical Education’s 50 and 100 point system. A girl winning 50 points receives the State green and white numeral, and upon winning 100 points receives a green and white felt “O”. The G. A. C. endeavors to stress the social side of the girl's school life as well as the athletic by entertaining with a picnic or party once a month. This year a dinner party and picnic were the outstanding entertainments. Co-operation , the G. A. C. motto, is made a reality when the girls aid in school programs, entertainments, pep rallies, and in the rooting sections. This spring the G.A.C. was of great assistance in the May Fete production. PERISCOPE Page 35 Robb Kinney Hinamon Robertson Dennis Beard Ellis Cafeteria (Cooking Class) With the beginning of the school year, September, 1926, a cafeteria course was introduced in Dallas High School. This is the first attempt in work of this character at the Dallas schools, and it has proved very successful. Two advantages are obtained by such a system. It gives the pupils practical experience in preparing and serving menus and at the same time it enables teachers and pupils from the Dallas High School to enjoy hot lunches at noon. Since the average price of each meal is about twenty cents, high prices do not prohibit people from taking lunch at the cafeteria. Margaret Beard, Carolyn Ellis, Mary Hinamon. Lillian Robb, Ruth Dennis, Edith Robertson, and the instructor. Miss Geneva B. Kinney, comprise the cafeteria staff. It is the girls’ duty to plan the menus a week in advance, and to prepare the lunch. The duty of the instructor is to look over the menus submitted by the pupils and select the best ones for use. The sewing room which adjoins the cooking department is used for the dining room. The cafeteria has proved very successful and it is hoped that the course, which is so convenient for everyone, will continue from year to year. Page 36 PERISCOPE Holsclaw Penner Hatton Syron Mehl Staats Garrett Harrington Hereth Parrish Shop The plan of the vocational co-operative shop wo.k as given in Dallas High School is unique. It is said to be the only one of its kind in any public school west of the Mississippi river. Instead of the usual school shop where the various problems worked out by the boys are of a hypothetical nature, here at Dallas the boys are given a training of a much more practical nature. This is made possible by the valuable co-operation of Mr. Carl Gerlinger of the Gerlinger Locomotive and Machine Works. The boys who take this vocational work are placed in the various departments of the machine shop under the careful, competent and practical supervision of the foremen in the shop. In his two years course each boy is given training and experience in each department—drafting, molding, pattern making, etc. This gives opportunity for each boy to prove his aptness for the line of work to which he is by natural endowment best fitted. After the boys have had two years of this practical training they are given regular employment in the shop. Under the plan as worked out here at Dallas the boys spend one-half day in the shop oberving regular shop work. The other half day is spent in the high school in the usual required classes in Civics, English and American History, together with the class in applied Shop Mathematics. The latter class is under the tuition of Mr. Fairfax Parrish, who supervises the boys both in the shop and in the related work in high school. The plan is working out excellently well and is attracting the attention of school men over the state.

If there were any who feared for the success of the play, they were soon reassured by the hearty applause of the audience.

May Queen, with her attendants, Dorotha Young and Almeda Boughton. escorted to the 1 hrone by the Queen’s subjects, were entertained with gay and graceful dancers of the May Fete. The snow man, Clven Bowe, and his retinue of snow sprites and icicles, were attacked by the harbingers of spring. After a spirited snow balling the snow man and his hosts retreated and spring advanced. Trees, roses, butterflies, bumblebees and frogs in turn took the center of the scene and welcomed the Queen of Springtime. A group of high school girls appeared as folk dancers and wound the Maypole as the final scene. The Queen then marched back across the campus with all the participants in the pageant joining the procession. The campus was hemmed in by an artificial hedge of trees with the Queen’s bower at the northern edge making a very pretty setting. The embankment around the field was lined with people who came to view the pageant. The entire showing was a praiseworthy one, and quite up to the standard set last year by the first pageant. Mrs. Thomas Van Meter of the high school faculty was in charge of arrangements with a corps of faculty assistants. Page 40 PERISCOPE Declamatory Contest On Tuesday evening. May 10, a high school declamatory contest was held, the purpose of which was to raise funds to help the athletic department. The contest was divided into three groups: Oratorical, Humorous, and Dramatic. Each class in high school had one representative in each division. The program was as follows: Oratorical Division 1.

PERISCOPE Page 41 County Champions The D. H. S. typing team again won the County Championship title, making this the third consecutive year that the cup has been awarded to our typists. In the advanced division the race for the individual award was very close between the two D. H. S. representatives, but Edna Pitzer averaged one-third of a word more that Virginia Ellis and thus was awarded the gold medal. Their respective rates of writing were: Edna sixty-four and fourteen-fifteenths words per minute, and Virginia sixty-four and nine-fifteenths words per minute. In the beginning division there was a close three-cornered race between Dallas, Monmouth, and Falls City, the Dallas team averaging forty and one-half, Falls City Forty, and Monmouth thirty-nine and one-half. However, the individual award, the gold medal in the division went to Genevieve Ganaird of Monmouth, who averaged four-fifteenths of a word more than Jacob Quiring of Dallas. The respective scores were: Miss Ganaird 40 13 15; Jacob Quiring 40 9 15 and Miss Hammel of Falls City 40 8 15. The following is the team average for each contesting school: Dallas _____________________53 Falls City___________________43 Monmouth____________________40 Independence-----------------35 D. H. S. was represented by Edna Pitzer, Virginia Ellis, Jacob Quiring, and Carolyn Ellis. The students of the typing department contribute their success largely to the inspiring influence of Mrs. Turner, as well as to her excellent teaching. Page 42 PERISCOPE Patterson Martin Quiring Butler Morningstar Gerlinger Weins Singleterry Plummer Orchestra The orchestra is under the direction of Miss Bernice Morningstar and consists of nine pieces. Although most of the players are inexperienced they are capable of furnishing an interesting program. The orchestra delivered some very good numbers between acts of the Senior and Junior plays. Yell and Song Leaders Dallas Hi has finally developed a well organized rooting section, and although in numbers it may have been surpassed in some former years, in volume there is nothing lacking. Our leader, Rollan Layton, takes a keen interest in his duty, and it is largely due to his stimulating influence that the response this year is so hearty. During the winter, Rollan (“Tubby”) was ably assisted by Bud Page and when they dolled-up for a game presented quite a “collegiate” appearance. Page 44 PERISCOPE Kearney Vaughn D. Page Campbell Bevens Hatton Layton Garrett McBee Page Bowe E. Hayes Parrish Folmer Griffin Penner Fleming Syron Staats H. Hayes Loy Holt Football One of the best football teams ever to represent D. H. S. was developed this year. The team won 5 out of the 8 games played, one of the defeats being handed out by the Pacific University freshmen, and another by the Oregon Normal School. Amity was the only high school to defeat Dallas, winning by a 14 to 0 score. Five times Dallas advanced to their opponents 10 yard line, but each time they were held for downs. For the first time in three years Dallas defeated her ancient rival. Independence, by the unusual score of 2 to 0. Dallas scored when an Independence punt hit the crossbar of the goal post and bounded back to Becken of Independence, who was downed behind the goal line. Prospects for next season are exceptionally bright, as we are losing only four regulars from this year's championship team. When the call is issued by Coach Loy for candidates next fall many new men. who failed to turn out this year, will be ready to go out and ably fill the four vacant positions. A squad of 18 men was carried throughout the season, all members of which made their letters. The team: Wayne Page—Captain and quarterback. Third year. “Wag” will be missed when the next call is issued for candidates. He was a heady general and his position will be hard to fill. George Parrish—Second year. Left tackle and the heaviest man on the team. George will also be missed next year, since he graduates. Philip Staats—First year. Left guard. “Phil'' did not earn a regular berth PERISCOPE Page 45 until mid-season, but when he did, Oh My! Too bad he graduates! Howard Hayes—Third year. Right tackle. Hayes was a bulwark of strength on the defense, and opened big holes for Dallas when on the offensive. Hayes playfd three years with us and will be keenly missed next fall. Henry Garrett—Center. Third year. “Hank” was the mainstay of the team on offense, and a bulwark of strength on the defense. He is a three-year letterman, and has one more year to serve D. H. S. Gerald Hatton—Right guard. First year. Hatton was another one who was overlooked at the beginning of the season, but he finished as a regular member of the team. He has one more year of action. Albert McBee—Right end. Third year. “Mac’’ could play end or half-back, but in either position he spread terror among his opponents. He will be back for one more year. Lawrence Syron—Left end. Second year. “Sy“. although small, was one of the fastest men on the team and was exceptional at his position. He will be back for another year with us and much is expected from him. Rollan Layton—Left halfback. First year. This was Tubby’s first year on the team, and throughout the season he was the most consistent ground gainer. He will be with us again next year. Howard Fleming—Right halfback. First year. Fleming came from Nebraska, and was not here to start the season. But he soon earned a regular berth when he did get started. He has one more year for Dallas. Donald Page—Fullback. First year. “Rook” was our line-plunging mainstay. Whenever a few yards were needed he could be depended upon to get them on a line smash. He will be with us for three more years. Sam Bowe—Left guard. Second year. Sam, a regular from the ’25 team, was drposed by some “younger blood ”, but he got into most of the games, and kept the regulars fighting to hold their places. This was also Sam’s last year. Ed. Hayes—Right guard. First year. Ed. ably filled any vacancy left in the regular team. This was his last year. Robert Griffin—Quarterback. First year. Bob was handicapped by lack of weight, but in his next three years of service much is expected of him. Eldon Vaughn—Right tackle. First year. Vaughn went into action with all caution thrown to the winds. He will be a regular for the next three years. Abe Penner—Left tackle. First year. Abe showed real ability in all the games h? broke into. He has one more year left. Charles Campbell—Right end. First year. Chuck” showed great ability in breaking up end plays, and snagging passes. He will be with us for one year more. Harold Bevens—Left end. First year. Bevens was handicapped by illness for most of the season, but when he was in the game he was always fighting. He has one more year. Page 46 PERISCOPE Forrette Fleming Gerlinger Loy Garrett Holt Syron McBee Page Parsons Griffin Basketball When Coach Loy issued a call for basketball candidates over thirty men turned out, and among them were four who formed the nucleus of the team. During the season twenty games were played, Dallas winning eighteen of them. Incidentally, the two games that we lost went to Perrydale, the county champion team. Independence was defeated in both games, something which has not been done for three or four years. Dallas scored a total of 464 points to her opponents 320. McBee was high point scorer with 120 points, and Syron was second with 107 points. Prospects for next season are exceptionally bright, since Page is the only regular graduating this year. Those who received letters are: Page, Parsons, Syron, McBee, Griffin, LeFors, Forrette, Garrett, Gerlinger and Fleming.

Crider McBee Gerlinger Bowe Forrette Page T rent Tennis Although Dallas did not win the county tennis cup, a very good team was turned out, considering the difficulties under which it was developed. Four matches were played outside of the county tournament, Dallas winning two and losing two of the matches. Albany was defeated twice and Corvallis and Salem each defeated Dallas once. In the county tournament Dallas played and defeated Perrydale to reach the semifinals. Her next opponent was Independence, and, although the boys defeated the Independence boys, they lost the match because of the greater ability of the Independence girl players. The Dallas girls were handicapped by lack of practice, and they were all new and inexperienced players. In this match the Dallas boys won 10 out of 18 games played, but the Independence girls defeated the Dallas girls, giving them the match by a margin of six games. Independence later defeated Bethel to win the county cup. Competion for places on the team was exceptionally keen, and it took about three weeks to play off the games that decided the winners. Forrette won the play-off. and was the No. 1 player throughout the season. Gerlinger held down second place, and McBee and Page were third and fourth men respectively. Barbara Hall was ranking player on the girls’ team, with Elaine Schultz as second player and Dorothy Page as third. They were all new players and will be expected to help Dallas win the cup back next year as Elaine Schultz is the only player graduating. Page is the only man to be lost to next year's boys’ team, but there will be plenty of material from which another man can be picked. PERISCOPE Page 49 Track For some reason the students of Dallas High School have never taken a very keen interest in track, and this year has been a pioneer year, as far as any organization of track is concerned. However, the fact that the team did exceptionally well, will no doubt stimulate interest and better work will result from year to year. Independence walked off with most of the honors and took the cup with a score of 68Vi points: Dallas scored 39 4 and Monmouth 3 7. Parrish of Dallas was high point man of the meet, scoring 18(4 points. Barnum of Independence was second with 16J4 and Davis of Monmouth third, with 15. Fleming, McBee, Parrish, Page, Syron, Ross, Bevens and Lefors all won honors for Dallas. Parrish and Page are the only ones graduating and the prospects for next year are very good. Dallas placed first in the shot-put. in the 120 low hurdles, in the 220 yard dash, and in the relay, and tied for first in the high jump. Page 50 PERISCOPE Loy Beebe Campbell Penner LeFors ‘f, Kliever Miller Fleming Griffin Syron Forrette Bevens H. Garrett B. Garrett Blodgett Quiring Baseball With Bevens and Garrett, veteran battery, as a nucleus, Coach Loy set about to build up a championship baseball team. Much promising material turned out for the first practice sessions, from which five men were to be picked to fill in the vacancies left by graduation from last year’s team. Out of 10 games, Dallas won 7, losing to McMinnville, Independence and the Normal School. Incidentally, each of the teams which defeated Dallas was in turn defeated by Dallas. One shut-out game was registered by the team, and the teams which defeated Dallas won by just one run margins. This year's team will be back intact for next season, and with the experience gained should go thru next year’s schedule undefeated. The team, all members of which earned their letters, was composed of Garrett, catcher; Bevens, pitcher and second baseman; Griffin, shortstop; Ben Garrett, first base-man; Syron. second baseman and pitcher; LeFors, third baseman; Fleming, outfielder and pitcher; Forrette, outfielder; and Beebe, outfielder. Campbell was substitute first baseman, and Penner, Blodgette and Miller subbed for the outfield. PERISCOPE Page 51 The batting averages of the team members were compiled throughout the season, and many members were hitting well above the 300 mark. Fleming led the hitters with a 400 average, with Beebe, Bevens, and Forrette all hitting in the 300 class. As the annual goes to press the county championship is not yet decided. Dallas and Independence are going to play off for the cup, since both teams lost but one game during the season. Dallas defeated Independence by an 8 to 7 score, and Independence defeated Dallas by a 4 to 2 score. The two teams are very evenly matched, and the team getting the breaks will become the proud possessor of the cup.

Throughout the evening entertaining and interesting games were played, and the Freshmen, who came to the party with some fear and trembling, soon were reassured that nothing inadvertent was to occur, and entered enthusiastically into the activities. After dainty refreshments were served the Freshmen departed, hoping that they could give as good a reception as this, next year. Open House Open House was held Thursday, February 17, at the Senior High School, for those who wished to look over the school building. At 8 o’clock a program, consisting of speeches and musical numbers, was given in the new auditorium. The speeches were given by Oscar Hayter, R. R. Turner. S. E. Whitworth, Wayne Page and Charles Campbell. The music was furnished by the Junior High Girls, Alice Wiens, Miss Bernice Morningstar and Miss Laura Kearney. Immediately following the program punch and wafers were served in the Domestic Art room and members of the Girls' Athletic Club escorted the visitors over the building, introducing them to the teachers in the different rooms. It is estimated that almost 500 people were present. Girls’ Athletic Club Dinner Party The Girls’ Athletic Club party was held Feb. 25, 1927. Several committees were elected for the different phases of entertainment, and all did their work well. Half of the members came dressed as men and were escorted by their respective partners to the party. Although most of the men were somewhat feminine in their appearance they proved to be gentlemen of society. Dinner was served by groups of girls who volunteered to be waitresses. The table was decorated with orange and black streamers and small paper basket-balls at the end with the girls' names on them for place cards. The center pieces were kewpie dolls dressed to represent the last year’s basketball team. Jokes and stories were told, songs were sung by all, and the teachers were requested to tell about the most embarrassing moment in their school life. After the bounteous dinner the party adjourned to the auditorium where a short program was held, following this a noisy and hilarious game was held between the ' boys and girls, which ended in favor of the ”boy.”s PERISCOPE Page 53 Football Banquet The girls of the first year cooking class, under the supervision of Mrs. Staats. gave a dinner to the football squad December 16, 1926. The table and sewing room, in which the banquet was held, was artistically decorated in orange and black. The table was decorated to represent a football field. The yard lines were of orange streamers and the goal posts were of the colors of the Dallas-Independence teams. A center piece was a football with the Independence and Dallas score on it. The men on the school board and the men teachers were the invited guests. Talks and stories were told about football and other school activities, and the affair proved so enjoyable that the boys are already looking forward to the next ‘'get-together.” Periscope Benefit Dance Dr. and Mrs. V. C. Staats, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Soehren, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Sundberg. and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Keller sponsored a Periscope Benefit Ball that was held on Friday evening, May 13. in the Woodman Hall. The hall was simply but prettily decorated with bouquets of spring flowers and fir boughs and the Starr's Melody Men furnished the music. There were about seventy-five couples present and about thirty-five dollars were cleared and turned over to the Periscope Staff. School Board Dinner On Tuesday evening. May 17, occurred the annual dinner party that is given bv the Domestic Science Department to the members of the School Board. The purpose of the dinner is to give the girls of the department practical experience in cooking and serving, and is always very much enjoyed by those who are able to be present. A pink and green motif was beautifully carried out and was greatly appreciated as all the decorations were made by the girls themselves. Among those present at the dinner were: Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Starbuck. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Butz, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hayter, Mrs. Riley Craven. Messrs. C. L. Crider, Tracy Staats and R. R. Turner, and Dr. and Mrs. V. C. Staats. The girls who cooked and served the dinner under the direction of Miss Kinney were: Betty Jelinek, Betty Harcombe, Margaret Brown, Gladys Skinner, Dorothy Min-nich, Catherine Sibley. Ruby Fleming, Tillie Wuerch, Lucile Patterson, Dorothy Singleterry, Roberta Elliott, Gladys Plummer, Marie Hayes. Laura Marsh, Annie Laing. Myrtle Daniels. Hazel Fields, Audry Converse, Roberta Woodman, and Alda Dennis. In Appreciation In expressing our appreciation of those who have made possible the publication of the 1927 Periscope, there comes first to our mind the Class of 1926. At the beginning of their Senior year there were several large bills outstanding Page 54 PERISCOPE against the Student Body. Among those bills was an unpaid balance of over $150 on the Annual that had been issued by the Class of 1924. The Class of 1926 very graciously and unselfishly put aside their own desire to issue an annual and bent their efforts to clearing up these old debts. The close of the session last year found the Student Body entirely out of debt. This favorable financial condition thus made it possible for the Class of 1927 to undertake to issue this volume of the Periscope. The Class of 1927 is therefore not unmindful of how well and unselfishly the Class of 1926 bore itself. Indeed, the Class of 1926 will be remembered as one of the outstanding classes graduating from Dallas High School. Not only is it the largest class that has so far been graduated but it is a class whose members are remembered for their high standard in scholarship, their efficiency in doing well whatever they undertook and the fine class spirit and school spirit always shown in school activities. “The Eighth Period” The eighth period is an innovation of the present session and seems to be working out well. On Thursday and sometimes on Tuesdays it is used for assembly purposes and also is a time for student activities, such as play practice, orchestra practice, etc. One of its chief purposes is as a supervised study period. With each Monday there is posted a list of pupils who have not done satisfactory work during the preceding week. They are required to report to the teacher designated for study. Under this system there seems to be a betterment in the average work being done by the student as no one wishes to have his name posted in the “scandal sheet” or “opportunity list” as it is variously called.

There was a group of greedy politicians in the far East who longed to make them- selves rich They decided to sail for South America and try to see how much of the jungle they could explore because a large prize was offered to the person who could map the surrounding region of the Amazon river. They would have to go only one hundred miles inland or maybe less because there was supposed to be a wild race of cannibals there, who were quite hungry at times. Now the characters of these men were about the same except for one man. This one man was in the expedition because he was broken hearted. He had fought a duel for a very beautiful woman then she wouldn’t have him for committing a murder. He then lost his temper and kissing her goodbye (this probably made her madder) he left for parts unknown. The other five men were of various races: a Spaniard, Senor Wop: a Chinaman, Mr. PecWee: a Norwegian, Mr. Salmon; and a high lord. Mr. Cliff, and the broken hearted man. Mr. Francois Bertand, a Frenchman. These men landed at the mouth of the great river and there made preparations for the inland trip. It was decided to divide everything: food, guns, clothes and everything that was needed for the trip and then afterward they would divide the prize, providing PERISCOPE Page 57 that they got it. But there was crooked work. The Chinaman stole a large quantity of noodles so that if they ran out of food he wouldn't starve. Mr. Salmon, the Norwegian. stole a case of canned sardines to make sure that he wouldn’t go hungry. The high lord. Mr. Cliff, made sure he wouldn't get cold by taking a large fur coat, hat, and fur lined boots. While the Spaniard. Mr. Wop, got hold of a bottle of strychnine. He was going to poison the whole bunch after they got out in the jungle and then take the prize for himself. The Frenchman was unsuspicious of his comrades. He thought that they were honest. The party was out in the jungle for a month when they ran out of food The Chinaman crawled away one night from the camp and ate the noodles he had stolen, but they did not agree with him and he died soon afterward. The high lord's hot clothing, he had stolen, drove him crazy with the heat, and he wandered off into the underbrush. The cannibals probably got him. The Norwegian, Mr. Salmon, ate the fish he had stolen and they were spoiled or something was wrong with them because they killed him. The Spaniard and the Frechman were the only people left. The Spaniard was going to poison the Freshman, so he put the poison in a glass of water. He thought that the Frenchman would drink it, but the Frenchman was not thirsty. They went to bed that night and some time in the night the Frenchman awakened to hear the Spaniard howling for water. He went over to his bedside. He soon discovered that the Spaniard had a high fever. The Frenchman saw a glass of water sitting on a box in the tent. He got this and gave it to the Spniard, not knowing it had poison in it. The Spaniard soon died. The Frenchman decided to get out to the mainland right away. On the way out he mapped the surrounding country so well that his prize was doubled. He also found the woman who had been so mad at him—waiting for him. Of course, they got married and had many battles ever after. E. V.” ’30. A PARODY ON THE HIGHWAYMAN The car moved by in the moonlight, along the dusty street, The moon cast a ghostlike shadow, on the Ford on its mission sweet. The road, a pathway of darkness, led to her parlor door, And her boy friend came rattling— Rattling—rattling— Her boy friend came rattling, thrilled to the very core. Up on the driveway he rattled and stopped in the girl's front yard. He pressed with his hand on the horn, but the house seemed locked and barred. He whistled like a bird at the window, and who should be waiting there But his sweetheart’s cross, old father— The banker, his sweetheart’s father— Smoldering and red with anger, at the lover’s nerve and dare. “Away”, said the harsh old father, “The flower you seek is gone. She left with a lad of my choosing, a fellow of brains and brawn”. Young lips quivered in the moonlight, on a face of ashen grey. He'd lost his only sweetheart— His blond-haired, blue-eyed sweetheart. He jumped in his Ford in the door-yard and rattling rode away. O. B. ’28. Page 58 PERISCOPE IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER It doesn't really matter, teacher If you have brains. 'tis said, Cause it’s more important, far If you just have a head. Most every other day, teacher As on the street one goes; Men do not look at women’s heads, They just look at their pose. I have thought a lot, teacher And I wonder just why— We have to have our lines, teacher. Or red marks we will spy. ’Tis a sad and cruel world, teacher Our whole life is a head. Sometimes in English when I'm dumb: I wish that I were dead. So it doesn't really matter, teacher, When these lines you have read. Whether they are from my brains— Or just lines from mv head. E. F.
