We Present Vol. IX of the U. S. S. PERISCOPE 1943 Annual Publication of DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL Dallas, Oregon In Memoriam To the boys of Dallas who are now seeing active service, who are preparing to meet the enemy and who have made the supreme sacrifice—their lives—that we may live in peace and contentment in the years to come, to these, our answer to the merciless tyranny all over the world, we solemnly dedicate this book. Dedication Nineteen hundred and forty-three has been an eventful year, and one to be remembered always. For his outstanding efforts in making these memories happy ones, for his leadership, help and friendly advice, his efficiency and cooperation, we respectfully dedicate the U.S.S. PERISCOPE for 1943 to MR. WHITWORTH, superintendent of Dallas High School. Row I—Mrs. Beharrell, Mr. Gabbert, Mr. Whitworth, Miss Tinker. Row 2—Mrs. Ott, Mrs. Morrison, Miss Fullenwider, Miss Rowe, Mrs. Dexter, Miss Horton, Miss Thorpe, Mrs. Chapin, Mrs. Coon. Row 3—Mr. Anderson, Mr. S+oudenmeyer, Miss Butler, Miss Buchanan, Miss Weber, Mr. Noblitt, Mr. Leopard. 3 The '43 Lieutenants' J. G. Class History Creed— Knowledge Is Power Flower—Carnation Color—Red-Silver September, 1939, found 120 apprentice seamen, green as plebs traditionally are, beginning to walk the decks they would tread for four long years. The upper-classmen initiated the plebs in the usual and effective manner. The officers elected for the Pleb class of '39 were: Admiral—Joyce Houtz; Vice Admiral—Jimmy Joe Jones; Yoeman—Helen Plaster; Com-mander-in-Chief—Maxine Horton. In due time the Plebs became Petty Officers and were less green as they began to learn the ropes. The new Plebs were duly initiated and dunked. Through the year however, some couldn't withstand the process of education so at the end of the second year there were 90. Admiral— James Smith; Vice Admiral—Bob Dunn; Yoeman—Althea Zentz; Deck Patrolman—Don La Bonte; Commander-in-Chief—Betty Starr. By the third year a smooth veneer was beginning to form on these 70 new Ensigns. They began to feel the characteristic cock-sureness of upper-classmen. The Plebs of '39 were distinguishing themselves in athletics and on the honor roll. Admiral—Bob Dunn; Vice Admiral—Patsy Sharp; Yoeman—Ruth Van Orsdel; Commander-in-Chief—Jack Keeler. 1942 opened a new school year and new opportunities for the Lieutenants J. G. The services beckoned some while the shipyards and other war work had a yen to others. At the end of May there were 51 to stand at attention while S. E. Whitworth, superintendent, gave out the long-awaited diplomas. The senior class sponsored a movement for a service man's flag for the high school. They also gave a play. The officers for their last year were: Admiral—Eldon Bevens; Vice Admiral—Curtis Lamb; First Yoeman —Elva Buhler; Bookkeeping Yoeman—Doris Fredericks; Sea Patrolman— Henry Peters; Commander-in-Chief—Kathryn Rowe. The sureness was a little wane as the Lieutenants received their honorable discharges. They remembered the fun of the past four years, Pleb year and all. These brand new Lieutenants left a small mischievous spirit to roam the decks of D. H. S. and the-minds of their superior officers, as all graduating Lieutenants of other years have done. 5 Combat Maneuvers Allen Bartel—Studenty Body I, 2, 3, 4; Plans after school, Undecided.

(Love 'em all, you might miss a good one.) George LeFever wills his greatness and almighty power to Dan Heinrichs as he feels that in later years it will come in handy. Irene Classen wills her knowledge of unearthing the unknown1' (gossip, you dumb guys) to Marjorie Day. Jim (Snuffy) Smith wills his high political position to anyone who thinks he can take it over. (Oh, yes, providing he furnishes his own secretary.) Bob Gohrke wills his good looks to no one. (He still has hearts to break.)

Bob Dornhecker The Juniors and Seniors presented a three-act comedy entitled Pickles Becomes a Lady in the high school auditorium, April 30, at 8:00 P.M. The purpose of the play was to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The setting of the comedy was the Dibble School for Girls. The main character is Pickles, a popular 16-year-old star athlete of the school. Pickles, whose real name is Edith, has a continual struggle between being a tomboy and a lady. The tomboy usually won out, that is until two young aviators (Tony and Blimp), who are carrying important international papers, are forced down on the school grounds. Pickles falls head over heels in love with the handsome Tony, and Tony falls in love, too, not with Pickles, but with a charming, young teacher. Pickles is in danger of becoming a very prim young lady in order to win Tony but she is side-tracked by the appearance of the two villains (Duke and Pete), who are after the important papers. Pickles becomes lost but finally emerges the heroine by outwitting the villains, also Pickles Becomes a Lady. 20 Benny Smith leaves his desire to be a sailor to Stan Benge. He hopes that when and if Stan becomes a gob he will leave behind him as pretty a girl as Ben did. Doug and Ernie Steward leave to the Student Body their memory. Thanks, boys. Ruth Van Orsdel leaves her ability to get along with the soldiers to the younger set of girls as they will have to carry on in her absence.

In order that someone can be found to take Everett Mott's place on the Tennis Team, Everett bestows his great interest in this sport to the Rooks. Jane Kreason leaves her sugar card to Jack Crider as he is in need of someone or something sweet. Ruth Reimer wills her blondness and beautiful green sweater to Katherine Richardson. Calvin Cox leaves Anna Clanfield to Dick Wilson. Take care of her, Dick. Armond Frey wills his shy and modest way with all the girls to the rest of the Wolves of Dallas High.

It is such a nice day we decided that we could cruise around the world 600 miles an hour and be back home by night-fall. The first place we head for is Reykjavik, Iceland, where Kenny Wright has made millions of dollars manufacturing the Iceland motorcycle the Icecicle. There, too, we run into our old chum Louis Domaschofsky, the famed scientist who has just perfected the formula of perpetual motion. As we travel on we come to London, when there is a great crowd gathered around Bob Johnson who has just gotten back from South America after finding a lost city of Amazon. Bette Leisy and Louise Brown run a night club where the singer is Ruth Schultz. The next stop is Oslo, Norway, where Allen Bartel is doing his best to teach the natives there how to get a sun tan. Vic Friesen has a huge doughnut factory there. We pause at Leningrad, Russia, to see Doris Fredericks who is in a rest home recuperating from doing a Russian Ballet. Wendell Curry, Bob Gorhke, and Clifford Frieson have made quite a name for themselves through their nursery schools throughout the country. The opera singer, Violet Goertz, invites us to dinner but we politely decline the offer and fly on to Tibet to see Calvin Cox and Carl Schmidt who have become monks and are now busy filling the St. Bernard dogs' casks with Pesi-Cola. We heard that Arlene Learner, the Belle of Calcutta, India, was busy with her snake charming so we moved on to China where Althea Zentz has been a missionary for 12 years. Ben Smith and George Le Fever are in Australia getting ready for their next trip down to Antartica where they will meet Jim Smith and Ernest Steward who have been down there a long time trying to persuade the penguin to give up his Tuxedo and wear sport clothes. We see Sue Hamilton and Barbara Kracher in front of their escort bureau office. They certainly have a thriving business. In Tahiti, Ruth Van Orsdel, Everett Mott, and Esther Heinrichs are now running a rapidly growing yo-yo factory. In one of the other South Sea Islands, Samoa, Jean Pope and Elva Buhler have found the fountain of youth and are trying to get into kindergarten. Bob Dunn and Eldon Bevens are running a Refreshment Stand in Egypt. There's hardly any moisture there so they pump the water for their beverages from the nearest mirage. Moving on we find that Howard Petersen and Edna Heinrichs have moved their vaudeville show to Brazil because a friend of theirs, James Houtz, has asked them to take over his peanut plantation. 15 We skip over to Spain to get more fuel. While we wait, we hear that Curtis Lamb and Dan Wiens have come here to eat chili beans and woo the Senoritas. Elsie Harber, Ruth Hildebrand, Irene Classen and Rachel Frey, we hear are in Ireland cultivating and selling a new four-leaf shamrock. We fly low over Scotland so we can see Joyce Houtz, Gladys Janzen and Jane Kreason in Edinburgh castle where they have been employed as pest exterminators because of their wide fame in this line. Next we catch sight of sunny Italy where Armond Frey, Catherine Dembowski and Alma Fast are spending their time raising pre-stuffed olives. Now, we cruise down to Belgian Congo where Myrna Payne, Patsy Sharp and Douglas Steward are collecting true natives for Elmer Hiebert's motion picture production of Life in the Congo Basin. It's turning late, now so we turn back to America. When we get to New York, we see Richard Fisher and Victor Friesen washing windows on the top floor of the Empire State Building. As we cross the country to Washington, D. C., we see Ruth Reimer conducting a presidential campaign. Thus it is with a happy feeling that we have been again in touch with our high school days that we return to our home—tired but happy. Commencement Fifty-three Seniors received diplomas at the Commencement services held Thursday, May 27, at 8:00 in the High School Auditorium. The guest speaker was Dan Poling, Jr. from the Oregon State College, Corvallis, and Mr. Whitworth presented the diplomas. The seniors wore grey caps and gowns with maroon tassels. This was a change from the previous years of formals. The Junior boys were ushers the girls were flower girls. Baccalaureate The graduating class attended the Baccalaureate services held in the high school auditorium, May 23, at 8:00 p.m. The speaker was Reverend Tilton, pastor of the Methodist Church. The music and special numbers were furnished by the Methodist Church. 16 fiBLOVJ fit a Ensigns Admiral—Bob Dornhecker Yeoman—Allan Inglis Vice Admiral—Mel Courter Pay Master—Anna Clanfield Shore Patrol—Bev. Bennett Commander-in-chief—Miss Horton When we peeked through our portals last fall, we saw 77 Ensigns looking very trim and happy in their new outfits and coming toward D. H. S. Little did we dream then that our Ensigns would see so much action. They have been very cooperative in assisting other crew members to scrub the deck with dances and to put on some extraordinary ones themselves. Early in the year they sponsored a Junior Victory Dance. Just for a little entertainment—(nothing else)—and for raising money for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, they sponsored a Fun Nite and then later this spring they sponsored the Junior-Senior Play, both of which aided in raising the necessary funds for that extraordinary chow to be held in favor of the Lt. J. G.'s on May 20. Petty Officers Admiral—Neil Richardson Yeoman—Orlanda Ratslaff Vice Admiral—Vic Resch Pay Master—Julia Ross Shore Patrol—Wayne Taylor Commander-in-chief—Mrs. Ott Next in rank to our Apprentice Seamen in D. H. S., we find our studious Sophomores or petty officers. Initiating the gobs was quite a task this year but leave it to the second year men, they really did an excellent job of it. After the first year, many of them have decided that they could not stand the rest of the tars for at least another year. The registration of the Sophomore class went as high as 77 but 24 dropped to leave the rest to suffer with the other crews. Apprentice Seamen of '46 Admiral—Bud McFetridge Vice Admiral—Jean Flux Yeoman—Lawrence Guy Commander-in-chief—Miss Buchanan The new enlistees of the Dallas High School have brought to our deck new ideas, new spirits, and new faces. The class has been very active this year. During the first part of the year they were led into boot camp where they were initiated. Then this spring they were very successful in sponsoring the Frosh Frolic which provided fun for everyone, commanders-in-chief, officers and all. Out of the 85 apprentice seamen this term only 17 have found it impossible to stay with the fleet. 18 Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a formal Banquet and Prom on May 20, 1943. The Banquet was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, and the Prom in the Dallas High School gym. Practically the entire Junior and Senior classes attended the Banquet. The Home Economics class cooked the dinner, and the menu was turkey, peas, mashed potatoes, salad, and hot rolls. For dessert they had ice cream and cake. Many of these foods were very hard to obtain because of war time restrictions. After the dinner the President of the Junior Class gave a short talk, saying farewell to the Seniors. Eldon Bevens, President of the Senior Class, then said a few words and thanked the Juniors for the lovely dinner. Miss Hathaway, from Willamette, then gave a fine humorous after-dinner talk. Thus ended the Banquet. From there a good number of both classes went to the Prom. As Time Goes By was the theme song for the first and last dance. On the last dance Miss Patricia Krewson sang As Time Goes By. The entire gym was decorated with flowers, which consisted of Ocean Spray, Scotch Bloom, Mock Orange, and Lilacs. The combination was very beautiful. For music a juke box was used. The girls looked lovely in their formals. Kampus Kapers November 19 and 20 our auditorium was filled with people who came to see our Variety Show, Kampus Kapers, which consisted of an extensive variety of D. H. S. talent. The biggest attraction of the evening was Ballet Moose, a ballet given by the graceful football players and featuring Earl Appleton. There were vocal solos by Shirley Hass, Donald Hughes, and Pat Krewson. The Mixed Chorus, the Girls' Sextet, and the Boys' Quartet also sang between plays. Entertainment was provided when a musical comedy was given by the Girls' League, and when Beverly Bennett and Carol Enstad gave humorous readings. The Girls' Tumbling Team performed and Pat Zentz did some acrobatics. Other features of the show were a guitar solo by Wayne Gerard, a tap dance by Beverly Osuna, and an accordion solo by Bob Cox. There were two skits given. One in which Bob Dunn and Pat Sharp showed how to catch your boy or girl friend, and Epandemonium, about a little negro boy who never did things right. All in all a very enjoyable evening was had by both the performers and the audience. 21 Fighting Forces from Dallas High The boys that have joined the Services this year from the Dallas High are as follows: the Navy; Ben Smith Clifford Friesen Bob Gohrke Delane Holter Everett Mott Earl Appleton Wayne Gerard Dick Osuna Gordon McCully Dan Fisher Bill Russell Carl Perry Richard Fisher George LeFever Ernest Steward joined the Marine Corps. The Dallas High School is very proud of its fighting men. Victory Corps Dallas High School has organized a Victory Corps. There are 86 members to date and there will be more following them soon. The aim of the Victory Corps is to group war-minded teen-aged folk, to develop them and to help them do their part in our effort to win this war. This organization has been formed all over the United States by the Office of Education. The advance divisions of the Victory Corps are: Land, Sea, Air, Production, and Community. To belong to these you must be a Junior or Senior in high school. If you are an under-classman you can belong to the general membership. Duties of the members are to sponsor and help in salvage drives and Red Cross Board and Stamp drives, and to bring about the close coordination with the civilian defense organizations. Members earn V hours for working in some Patriotic way for Victory. The officers of the Victory Corps are the Student Body officers, and the advisers are Mr. Leonard, Mrs. Dexter, and Miss Butler. 22 Morale Division Pep Staff The Pep Staff was founded and is known throughout Dallas High as a picked group of girls whose main purpose is to promote pep. Painting and making signs, promoting war drives, selling tickets, and raising money are only a few of the many activities the pep staff sponsors. The officers are: Marciel Stinnette, president; Sue Hamilton, secretary; and adviser, Mr. Gabbert. The rest of the members are as follows: Sharon Lamb, Phyllis Bennett, Jane Crider, Mary Jane Greenwood, Vesta Franz, Arlene Learner, Betty Jane Robinson, Helen McFetridge. Band The members of the band have been working hard all year. Now they are beginning to sound pretty good. There are a few Apprentice Seamen in the band but most of them are Petty Officers and Ensigns. They are going to play down at the courthouse bandstand for the townspeople this summer. Here is a list of the Gobs in the band: Cornet—Harry Peters, Dan Wiens, Orval Aebi, Dan Heinrich, Howard Wiens, Willy Heinrich, Arthur Friesen. Trombone—Lloyd Friesen, Lawrence Lambert, Gene Wiens, Bob Cox. Baritone—Bud McFetridge, Richard Goerertzen. Clarinet—Orlanda Ratzlaff, Verda Hiebert, Dan Jones. Drum—Roberta Melmstrom, Bob Friesen. Chorus The Mixed Chorus and Girls' Chorus have sung on many occasions this year. Such as for an Odd Fellows' program, for a variety program at the High School, and a Christmas vesper service at the Christian church. The girls' sextette composed of Ruth Shultz, Myrna Payne, Alma Fast, Violet Geortz, Alice Wall, and Florence Frey have sung many times. Among these have been for the Junior and Senior Women's Club, Farmers' Union, Chamber of Commerce, Camp Adair, Music Week, State Guard dinner, Girls’ League assembly, and Christmas Vespers. The boys' quartette composed of Ed Wall (graduate), Armond Frey, Al Hiebert, and Dick Wilson, have performed several times. A boys' chorus was organized in the spring to sing May 2nd at the Music Week program. This was made up of members of mixed chorus in the High School plus some Junior High School boys. Miss Martin was the very able leader for the year. 24 The Forensic Club Rees Linn ...................................President Jewelle Schmidt ........................Vice President Althea Zentz .................... Secretary-Treasurer Miss Thorne .................................. Adviser The Forensic members had a very successful season this year. The debate team was composed of Marilyn Parrish and Jewelle Schmidt on the affirmative; Rees Linn and Lloyd Domaschofsky on the negative. The topic for discussion was ''Resolved: That a Federal World Government Should Be Established. The team was well coached and succeeded in taking first place in the District meet. The team placed fourth at the State Conference at the University of Oregon. Three students participated in Extemporaneous Speaking: Marilyn Parrish, Jewelle Schmidt, and Rees Linn. Rees Linn succeeded in taking third place at Linfield. Radio speakers were Beverly Bennett, Lloyd Domaschofsky, and Rees Linn. Lloyd Domaschofsky placed second. Marilyn Parrish and Rees Linn participated in a Panel Discussion. Rees placed third in the finals. Beverly Bennett participated in Humorous Interpretation at Linfield. The students enjoyed the coaching of Miss Thorne and feel that she should have a great deal of the credit. Red Cross The activities of this organization for the past year have been vitally important to the war effort. At the first of the year the students showed their interest in he club by donating over six hundred magazines to be used by the soldiers at Camp Adair. The boys from the manual training classes, under the direction of Mr. Parrish, voluntarily made two ping-pong tables, sixteen recreation chests, and repaired two guitars for the service boys. During the year a kitchen in the Hospital Station at Camp Adair was completely furnished by active Red Cross members. Transportation was made possible for the staff officers and adviser through the courtesy and cooperation of the Motor Corps girls. Twice weekly war stamps have been sold in the halls for the convenience of the Student Body. Officiating this year were Sue Hamilton, president; Katherine Dem-bowski as vice president; Bette Leisy as secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. William Ott, faculty adviser. Roll room representatives were Harvey Bartell, Harland Buhler, Katherine Dembowski, Barbara Kracher, Jean Smith, Sue Hamilton, Bill Rohrs, Marilyn Parrish, Curtis Lamb, Phyllis Bennett, Bob Friesen, Wallace Agee, Florene Inglis, Harry Peters, Jean Pope, and Bette Leisy. 27 Periscope Staff No doubt you've noticed some person at various times during the year tearing down the halls, bumping into everyone with cheerful disregard for life or limb and upsetting everything in the process—like some frantic hound tracking down a criminal. If so, you knew better than to disturb him, for it was a member of the Periscope staff trying to beat the deadline. Such a burst of activity occurred every three weeks, when the Periscope was scheduled for publication. Throughout all the hectic confusion, the printers moved, wearing a smug look and an ink blot on their noses. But it wasn't all work and no play. The Periscope presented a Sadie Hawkins Day dance, which was, as one person expressed it: Really fun— only nobody caught anything. Victims of Spring Fever found a welcome relief from its devastating effects when the Spring Fever dance, sponsored by the Periscope, was presented in April. But the biggest and most successful accomplishment of the year was the publication of the annual, the U. S. S. Periscope, which was compiled by the Periscope staff with the aid of amateur photographers.

Of course we missed the seniors that aren't here. Honesty, diary, the Rooks were a scream to watch; they were all in a tizzy about school opening. October 2, 1942—Diary dear: Tonight was our first and only Student body dance, and I'm sure everyone had just a honey of a time. November 6, 1942—Gee, you should of seen the Periscope s Sadie Hawkins dance, it was really a kick including Sue Hamilton, as Sadie herself, Bob Johnson and Curtis Lamb who were all really genuine dog-patchers. November II, 1942—Diary: Today is probably the saddest day of the whole year according to Dallas High. We played and lost our last game of football to Indep. after a really wonderful season. Jim Smith was the outstanding member not to exclude the rest of the team. Oh, woe unto us ! ! ! November 19, 1942—Dearest Diary: We finally put on the Variety Program, Kampus Kapers, given by the Student Body. It was really a super hit of everything. The main hit of the show was the ballet dance given by the members of the football team. I bet they could have made Broadway. November 26, 1942—Diary dear: Everyone had a two-day vacation and believe me we all stuffed ourselves with turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuff. Boy!! It makes me hungry to think of it now. December 4, 1942—Diary: We all danced to Bob Dunn's record player at a simply dilly of a dance the seniors gave tonight. December 7, 1942—Diary: Everyone was greatly impressed today by the speech given us by Rudolph Haybrooke from England. Also today is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Gee, if that doesn't make you stop to think, I don’t know what would. December 23, 1942—Hurrah, Christmas Holidays!! I know everyone had a wonderful time. Santa gets better every year. 29 January 13. 1943—We finally are getting to feel that we are doing our part in the war effort as we had our first Victory Corps assembly. January 21. 1943—Guess what, diary! An unexpected holiday caused by heavy snowfall! Gee, did everyone have fun, especially hooking up toboggans behind Al Inglis and Bob Dunn's little green and red cars. Many spills were enjoyed by all. February 19. 1943—Dear Diary: Today the Pep Staff and the Let-termen's Club canvass the town for tin cans. Hard work, a glorious feeling plus a flat tire on Mr. Gabbert's trailer made it a well spent day. February 26, 1943—Dearest Diary: We were saved from the horror of defeat by Indep. by the wonderful playing of our first five of the basketball team. After the game the Indep. kids stayed and got hep with the jive at the dance the Pep Staff and Lettermen’s Club gave. April 2, 1943—Oh boy, Diary!! Gosh, did the Juniors give a swell Fun Night. Relays, games, everything imaginable were played. You should have seen Curt Lamb hanging a silk slip on the clothes line. April 30, 1943—Diary dear: Tonight was the Junior and Senior Play, Pickles Becomes a Lady. Beverly Bennett was the star and was she a scream! May 23. 1943—Dearest Diary: Tonight was Baccalaureate. Reverend Tilton, from the Methodist church, was the speaker. May 27, 1943—Well, diary, tonight the seniors were all awarded the one thing that they have worked for, for four years, their diplomas. May 28, 1943—Three cheers—school is out. Boy, what a vacation we're going to have! 30 Football First row, left to right—N. Richardson, M. Hiebert, M. Baker, J. Houtz, C. Schmidt. Second row—H.

Wartime transportation difficulties limited the number of games scheduled for the season by the Dragons but they did well in the games they played. The season got off to a good start with a 45 to 0 victory and this winning streak continued until the last game when they were finally defeated. The Dragons were headed by a new coach this year. Coach Anderson from Minnesota proved a capable football man and made a good record for his first year. Only five seniors will leave the Dallas eleven this year so Coach Anderson expects a record team next season. There is a group of promising underclassmen who will make excellent football material for the coming season.

Under the able leadership of the officers and the whole hearted cooperation of all members of the G. A. A. this school year of 42 and 43” has been a very successful one. Starting out with humorous initiation of the new members (which they thought was fatal) the year has been followed though with numerous Fun days, Intramural games, and Tournaments from which the Junior team (P40 skeeters) emerged the champions in volleyball and basketball. The girls with enough points to their credit will receive the orange D’s which all members of the G. A. A. consider an honor to get. Four senior girls who have been outstanding in athletics and other activities through their years in high school will be awarded the gold honorary pins. ing was led by Elmer Hiebert, forward, with 48 points, and then followed by Ray Osuna, guard.

Mr. Gabbert was not able to be with the squad very much as he is now principal of the High School, but James Houtz was a very able assistant coach. Boxing and wrestling were combined as there wasn't any boxing coach. The fellows had two meets and one exhibition match. They won both of the meets. The wrestling exhibition and boxing match was presented for the K. P. Lodge. Then came the Corvallis mixed boxing and wrestling team. We finished this with flying colors. A win, twenty points for us, to sixteen for Corvallis. The last match of the season was with Independence —a boxing match. This was held in the armory, and we won again. Drill Team Although rationing kept the Drill Team at home this year, they were able to drill at three games; the first time was at our last football game with Independence on November I I; second was at a basketball game with Monmouth in February, and the third was a basketball game with Willamina in January. Members of the team are: Althea Zentz, Helen Hildebrand, Joyce Houtz, Helen Siddall, Sharon Lamb, Arlene Learner, Jane Crider, Betty Robinson, Helen McFetridge, Vesta Franz, Catherine Dembowski, Marciel Stinnette, Mary Jane Greenwood, Barbara Kracher, Louise Brown, Billie B. Jones, Sue Hamilton, Pat Krewson, Doris Fredricks, Betty Bliss, Ruth Van Orsdel, Evelyn Harris, and Mary Lou Kreason. Baseball Baseball was not an outstanding sport this year because of the gas and tire rationing and because of the breaking up of the Polk-Yamhill League.
