Senior History The largest class in the history of Grants Pass high school has completed the last of its four years and made its final departure leaving behind it many prosperous and successful undertakings. The class was guided by its capable and faithful leader, Bob Jackson as president; Billy Lonigan, vice-president; Wanda Miliedge, secretary; Fred Osborne, treasurer; Bob Heath, Student Council representative. The seniors have taken an important role throughout the year in all school activities. The debating team had one senior, Billy Bromley, who has helped Grants Pass to win two championships. The class of '36 was well represented in the Torch Honor society and had Marjorie Talbot as president. In journalistic activities the seniors took the lead. The Toka was managed by Douglas Mitchell and edited by Roberta Borland. The Scroll was edited by Lois Layman, first semester, and Bob Heath, second semester. The first social event was the senior reception given for the freshmen. This took place October 18. A clever program of musical numbers and dancing was given in the auditorium after which signing of books and dancing were enjoyed in the gym. Next was the annual Christmas program given December 20. This was new and original— Animated Dolls,” a dramatization of Santa Claus and his bag of toys and dolls. Some of the characters were played by the following: Bob Jackson, Roberta Borland, Clyde Everton, Wanda Miliedge. Betty Emerson, Floradale Campbell, Billy Bromley, Margaret Thies, Jeanette Turner, Life Edson, Fred Nelson, Kay Knox, and Eleanore McQuity. The Southern Oregon District contest of F.F.A. held here March 27 and 28 was of marked importance for our high school. DeWayne Dahl received first prize for public speaking and tool and hardware identification; Rolland Holmes, first prize for rafter cutting; Cecil Johnson, president, first prize for parliamentary procedure and rope work. Senior Dress-up Day” on March 27 was a great treat for everyone. Marion Loughridge as Emperor Haile Selassie,” Billy Bromley as “Harpo Marx,” Earl Meeker as “Robinson Crusoe, “The Swigart Twins, “Topsy,” Captain of the Pirate Crew,” and Lady from a Turkish Harem” were humorous characters worthy of mention. The athletic department will be handicapped by the departure of men like Holloway, Lanning, Winkelman, Burden, Stokes. Coffenberry, Havard, Edson, and Jackson, who will leave positions that will be hard to fill. The Senior class was active in the Toka drive and won the inter-class contest with 99 per cent buying year books. Bob Jackson and Douglas Mitchell assumed responsibility for the Senior Prophecy and Betty Emerson and Wanda Miliedge for the Class Will. Clyde Everton won a scholarship to the University of Oregon. Because their four years grade averages were exactly the same, Billy Bromley and Clyde Everton shared the honor of being Valedictorian. Genevieve Treadgold was third in scholastic record for the four years. Jackson Lonigan Osborne Miliedge Heath Quinlan II Ladene Allen Class Prophecy—Public auctioneer.

There was a large attendance both nights. The acting was exceptionally fine, and the character parts were well portrayed. Those seeing the play will long remember Clyde Everton as George, 3rd with his English accent, Delma Jean Jones and Margaret Schieferstein as the beloved Nancy Price, and Bob Jackson as the “one and only Sam Wilson. The College Club Luncheon, given at the Redwoods Hotel, May 16, was the first social event for the senior girls on their commencement calendar. On May 22, the P.-T. A. Mothers banquet was given at the Redwoods Hotel for the entire class. Dancing was enjoyed after the banquet. Baccalaureate services were given at the Methodist church, May 24. Various honors and a clever and original presentation of the Class Will and Prophecy were enjoyed on Class Night, May 26. Commencement was May 28. In short we leave with the thought of many successful undertakings and pleasant memories. Life is wonderful. Some day you will learn that loving God and loving one another are the sum of life. More and more this will become evident and will govern school life in the future. It will annihilate backwardness, pride, selfishness, misunderstanding. You will realize the goal in your life is not all book-learning and making money, but to learn better how to live with and love humanity. Robert Jackson, President Senior Class. Senior Farewell The familiar old halls are alive tonight. Alive wtih fun and joy and laughter, Alive with young faces all smiling so bright. Alive with the hope for the years that come after. But through it all is a current of sadness Of all the time we must leave behind; Memories come flocking of schoolmates and gladness. With dreams of the life we yet have to find. Four years have passed since we entered the place Where we have learned of law and rule. Now as we leave we remember this phrase; “Out of school life and into Life’s school.” —Margaret Coan. 20 Life E.: “So you’ve quit smoking because of your doctor s orders? Bond J.: “Yes, he says the cigarettes on the sidewalks all have germs on them. Visitor: “I can’t understand how your love for books brought you here in prison.

This year because of the 100 per cent purchase of Student Body tickets the Student Council has most ably taken care of a much greater volume of business than ever before The Student Body fund, built up by dues from every student, is handled by the Student Council. It has been a pleasure to work with these groups. This space, however, is entirely too small for me to express my appreciation of the cooperation of the Student Council and the entire Student Body. Principal J. F. Swigart. No one, in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of gratification and honor in having been selected as your president. To you students and your cooperative spirit I owe an unpayable debt. I have attended school here for four years and have formed friendships never to be forgotten. Now I graduate, leaving you, with whom I have had the pleasure of working. Wishing you the future success that is due you and knowing that I shall ever be with you in spirit, I bid you an affectionate farewell. Billy Bromley, President Student Body. Borland Mitchell The Toka The 1936 TOKA is an experiment in Multilith offset printing. This is a new process in the printing world, which may, if present expectations are realized, revolutionize the printing business. We may have sacrificed some quality in pictures for the additional number of pictures and pages at a lower cost, but we hope the general effect will be interesting to you readers as a whole. Although we know we will not have pleased everyone, we anticipate your approval. Tokas in the future will depend upon the reception of this process. Roberta Borland, Editor TOKA.

So important is journalism that the world’s activities could not progress without it. It has been discovered that there is a valuable future for the student who majors in journalism and minors in some other subject that will work well with journalism, or vice versa. I. as editor of the SCROLL, have appreciated the opportunity to work on the paper and wish to thank the teachers and students who cooperated so well with the Journalism club. Lois Layman, Editor SCROLL. This year the Journalism club has written more than 2000 inches of publicity for the school in the local city papers and has w-ritten nearly 1500 inches in the SCROLL, not to mention the other hundreds in the TOKA. Lnder the guidance of Miss Harding it has formed a system of cooperation with the publicity manager, students, and faculty in such a manner that it has become an established means for advertising the school. It has opened a new field of activity for the students and induced a spirit of competition by way of the newswriting contest. Journalism does have a place in our school. Bob Heath, Editor SCROLL. TORCH HOHOR Torch Honor The Torch Honor society was founded in 1929 with funds left in trust by the class of 1919. Its purpose is to promote scholarship, character, and service. Membership is based upon points earned in scholarship and service. Five points are allowed for a grade of 1,” four for a 2,” one for a 3,” and a minus two for a 5.” Students participating in school activities are given two points a semester for a major activity, one for a minor activity, and one-half a point for a sub-minor activity. Twenty-six new members were admitted to the society at the annual torch ceremony held in the high school December I 3. The following officers were elected at the first meeting: Marjorie Talbot, president; Darrell Baldwin, vice-president; Maraveen Ownbey, secretary-treasurer; and Jeanette Turner, student council representative. Miss A. Claire Dunn is faculty adviser. GIRLS' LEAGUE 32 The Girls’ League The Girls’ League is an organization in which all girls become members upon entering high school. Each year the girls select some objective toward which to work. This year the purchase of supplies for the home economics rooms was chosen. Money for this project was raised by matinee dances, hot dog sales, and a carnival. The Girls’ League carnival, a revival of a custom of former years, aided by the Hi-G and other organizations, netted $74.95 this year. The officers of the League were Delma Jean Jones, president; Gayle Denison, vice-president; Marjorie Talbot, secretary; Norma Johnston, treasurer; Marguerite Sappington, song leader. Heads of the departments were Floradale Campbell, entertainment; Shirlee Stinebaugh, activity; Berdine Steele, social service.

At the Girls’ League carnival the F. C. A. sponsored a very popular dart game. On April 9 the boys attended a banquet given by their employers. Following the banquet those boys eligible for sweaters received them, and then the whole group attended the opening of their industrial fair where each boy was in charge of a booth sponsored by his employer. Officers for the local chapter are: George Winkelman, superintendent; Don Stevenson, foreman; Grove Holcomb, time keeper; Life Edson, gatekeeper; and George Warren, president of the state chapter. DEBATE TEAM Debate In the early part of the year the Debate club was organized. In the beginning it totaled 22 members, but because of the difficulty in arranging schedules, etc., it was cut to 12. Marjorie Flint was elected president; Clyde Everton, vice-president; Mary McAdam, secretary-treasurer; and George Hull. Student Council representative. Early in the year the club spent two months studying the different types of speeches, platform manner, and practicing delivery. The club met for an hour every day. From the Debate club the members of the team were chosen. They were Billy Bromley and George Hull, affirmative, and Bertha Sexton and James Lium, negative. Next year three of this year’s teams will be back, as Billy Bromley is the only senior, George Hull being a junior and both Bertha Sexton and James Lium being freshmen. Substitutes for the team were Roberta Reiss. Marjorie Flint. Howard Grover, and Clyde Everton. The team was coached by G. Howard Barrett, club adviser. The question for debate this year was. Resolved: That the several states should enact legislation to provide for a complete medical system available to all at public expense. For the second consecutive year Grants Pass teams won the district debate championship from Medford and Ashland by a margin of one point. The debates were held Tuesday and Wednesday, February 27 and 28. The Grants Pass affirmative won from Medford negative 3-0; the Grants Pass negative won from the Medford affirmative 2-1 ; the Ashland affirmative defeated Grants Pass negative 2-1 ; and the Grants Pass affirmative defeated the Ashland negative 2-1. The debates were judged by three judges, one from a neutral town and two from Southern Oregon Normal school. In preparation for the inter-district debates with winners of other districts. Grants Pass competed against the Oakland, Ore., teams in two contests, both of which were won by Grants Pass. The Grants Pass affirmative was defeated by the Coquille negative team in the inter-district debates held in Grants Pass, April 3, putting Grants Pass out of the running for the state championship. The Glee Club The Glee clubs under the direction of Paul P. Nutting met the first semester as two separate organizations—the boys’ glee club and the girls’ glee club. During that time the girls’ double trio was formed, composed of Hazel Ernst, Helen Foster, Mildred Jaquette, Florence Brown, Hermie Palmer, and Marie Johnson. In November the Glee clubs gave an assembly program and in May participated in the musical festival at Ashland. Towards the end of the first semester the glee clubs combined, meeting together in preparation for the annual operetta which was presented March 1 3 to the largest audience in several years. The operetta, “TUNE IN,” was written by Don Wilson and Edward Bradley. The setting—the radio station WTNT—introduced a different type of production than has heretofore been used. In order for Joe Brown, the owner of WTNT, to keep the station, the Kroggins Kippered Kodfish program had to be a success. The failure of the station seemed imminent when Mrs. Kroggins, who had misguided notions concerning her singing ability, insisted on singing on her husband’s program. In the midst of exciting events she was trapped in an elevator, while Mitzi, the switchboard operator, saved the program b singing. THE CAST The cast follows: Mitzi, Louise Harnish; Jerry Kennedy, Charles Smith; Kasper Kroggins, Daniel Belcher; Mrs. Kroggins, Helen Foster; Jean Kroggins, Edna Orme; Joe Brown, Steve Walcott; Tilly, Hazel Ernst; Milly, Florence Brown; Billy, Marie Johnson; Dynamo Dave, Bill O’Leary; Bob, the engineer, Albert Roberts; J. Bottomley Binks, Myron Gaston; Archibald Throckmorton, John Sexton; and Lysander Phipps, Edwin Gibson. ORCHESTRA band and Orchestra A new arrangement in the method of teaching band and orchestra, that of employing the director on an all-time basis, was tried this year and proved satisfactory. The band, composed of 44 pieces, played at all football games and pep assemblies besides many other outside activities. The orchestra played at dramatic productions, the operetta, and several other activities in the school. Early in February it gave its annual concert to a large and appreciative audience. Featured numbers were a trumpet solo by Fred Osborne and a violin solo by Ethel Moore. Group numbers included a presentation depicting the destruction of Atlantis, from ancient history; an overture from the opera “Orpheus in Flades, from mythology; “Italians in Algiers, and other attractive selections. In May the orchestra went to Ashland to participate in the music festival held there each year. In March the Student Body passed an amendment to the constitution to the effect that after three years of service in the orchestra with an attendance record of 99 per cent and comparatively high grades, a member will be eligible for an award which signifies his accomplishments. This year those who received the awards were Louis Applegate. Kent Barber, Earl Meeker, Harold Jensen, Joy Nomer, Fred Osborne, and Marjorie Talbot. In April two soloists, Mary Sheldon on the flute and Fred Osborne on the trumpet, went to Corvallis to compete in the music contests at Oregon State college. Mary Sheldon playing, Rossignolet” by Donjon, won the first place in the flute contest and the championship in the state of Oregon. Both Fred Osborne and Mary Sheldon were accompanied at the piano by Margaret Coan. The orchestra room was changed this year from the room upstairs used previously to a separate room downstairs in the basement. The room is an improvement over last year’s arrangement. The orchestra played at the graduation of the seniors on May 29. Martin Trepte, who has been director of both the band and orchestra for the past several years, again was leader of the two groups, and it is to his ability in playing and directing that the band and orchestra owe a great part of its success. Taking all in all, the band and orchestra had a very successful year. 36 Student body Play The first all-school play that was ever given by our high school, HOLD EVERYTHING,” a three-act comedy, proved to be a big success. It was given December 5 and 6 in the auditorium. The play was staged in a summer resort in New York. There Constance Morgan met Courtney Barrett and so was glad she ran away from home to miss meeting a young fish her father had picked out for her. Later developments proved Barrett to be her father’s choice. The bank robbery and robbers, the detectives, and the negro maid’s superstition greatly built the interest and held the audience throughout the performance.

The play was coached by Mrs. Minnie G. Marcy and Miss Nina Johnson. Robbie Sawyer was not a hero in any sense of the word, but he had won the love of a charming girl, Adelaid Melnott. The trouble came with Adelaid’s father, who had had ambitions in his youth for an athletic career. Denied this by circumstances beyond his control, he then insisted that his daughter should marry an athlete. Adelaid, to make matters easy and win her father’s consent, wrote him glowing accounts of Robbie as an athlete. Her consternation was beyond bound when she got word that her father was coming down to the resort for a day to see the heroic young man. Muriel, a friend, was called to assist, and the two girls planned a rescuing party which would present Robby to Mr. Melnott as a hero in an athletic way, without having to disclose the truth about him. The plan was initiated when Mr. Melnott arrived. Robby went from one trouble to another, making a fool of himself, until he won a football game. This automatically making a hero of him, he won the consent of the father, and the play ended as Robby explained that it was a bee which had spurned him on to a touchdown. THE CAST The cast of the play was as follows: Adelaid Melnott, Lois Littrell, Marion Stein; Muriel Morrison, June Davis, Zoe Carpenter; Robby Sawyer, Ernest Trimble; Emma Bumstead, Leona Rice; Atlas Usher, Kenneth Pruitt; Betty Chatterton, Beverlee Ritter; Della Clark, Norma Neill; Jasper Melnott, Ivan Feiring; Joe Diggs, Arthur Winetrout; Lance Davis, Melvin King; Radio Announcer, Bob Flora.

Senior Play The annual Senior class play. THE COUNTRY COUSIN,” a four-act comedy-drama by Booth Tarkington and Julian Street was given at the high school April 16 and 1 7. The play was staged in Centerville, Ohio, during the World War period. Eleanor Howitt had no recollections of her father, because her parents had been separated since she was three years old. Now of age, her father came to persuade her to go with him for awhile. Her mother and Sam Wilson, a neighbor boy, tried to persuade Eleanor to stay. In spite of the protests, she went with her father. Eleanor, an heiress in her own right, rented a villa at the seaside, where her father and his wife entertained their friends lavishly. Eleanor wrote home of this new life with glowing accounts which alarmed her mother. Cousin Nancy Price was persuaded by Mrs. Howitt to visit Eleanor at her Villa to see how matters stood. Nancy found things much worse than they had feared but tactfully worked things out. The story of Nancy’s courage, of her fine influence, of Sam Wilson’s exploits, of the regeneration of George Tewksberry Reynolds, 3rd, following in rapid succession, brought this unusually fine performance to the denouement. The characters and the production staff follow: THE STAFF Mrs. Howitt, Helen Foster; Eleanor Howitt, Wanda Milledge, Shirlee Stinebaugh; Sam Wilson, Bob Jackson; Nancy Price, Delma Jean Jones, Margaret Schieferstein; George Tewksberry Reynolds, 3rd, Clyde Everton; Stanley Howitt, Ken Edwards, Bob Littrell; Athalie Wainright, Patricia Holmes, Lucille Jonas; Mrs. June Kinney, Margaret Thies, Eleanore McQuity; Mrs. Maud Howitt, Iris Goodell, Vivien Williams; Archie Gore, Harvey Chapman; Pruitt, Dan Belcher; Cyril Kinney, Fred Nelson; Blake, George Winkelman.

Its purpose is to create an interest in the athletics and other activities of the school by promoting a more enthusiastic school spirit among the students. During the year the Hi-G sponsored an informal dance in the high school gym on March 6, and at the Girls’ League carnival they sponsored a very popular baseball booth. Officers for the year were Fred Osborne, president; Bob Madden, vice-president; Mike Holloway, secretary; and Burton Stokes, student council representative. Loren Tuttle is adviser for the club.

Pep Club As proof that each year the students are giving more attention to school spirit.” the Pep club is a new organization this year. Approximately 1 50 girls are members. There are no dues, and the only requirement is that the girls attend as many games as possible. Its purpose is to create more pep and give the teams more support at the games. The members worked out outfits consisting of blue skirts, white blouses, and blue and white hats. The officers were Jeanette Turner, president: Norma Johnston, secretary; Roberta Borland, song leader; and Miss Lynnetta Quinlan, adviser. Henry T.: “I have a chance for the football team. Jimmie C.: Are you going to raffle it off? Mr. Carl (over the phone) : Dorothy is not at home. Can I take any message? Young Male Voice (nervously): Er-yes. Just say-er-toodle-oo sweety-eetums—from Buell.’ Mr. Turner: Look here, Jeanette, I don’t mind your sitting up late with that young man of yours, but I do object to his taking my morning papers when he goes. 41 Football This was Coach Loren Tuttle’s second year at Grants Pass high school. Tuttle built up a team from inexperienced as well as experienced players and lettermen that G.P.H.S. may well be proud of. Out of nine games played, the team won four, tied two, and lost but three. Besides the success in the games won and lost, the display of good sportsmanship and the advancement of friendly relations between the teams concerned was well worth all the school put into the game. The 1935 football squad was worthy of the support given by the Student Body. From this team three of the players were placed on the Southern Oregon All-Conference” first team—George Winkelman, Wilfred Lanning. and Arthur Winetrout; and Bond Jobe was placed on the second team by the Medford Mail-T ribune. Tins football season was also a financial success, due in no small part to the services given by the local doctors and Mike Byrd. With eight lettermen back next year and with new players being developed in spring practice Grants Pass hopes to soar high in the conference next year. At the end of the season Joe Boesch. bus mechanic, carried out his promise to give the team a turkey dinner, prepared by the home economic girls. The season’s scores follow: (Grants Pass scores first.) 33 Weed 6 0 North Bend 0 6 Klamath Falls .... 12 0 0 10 Alumni 0 19 Roseburg . 7 17 Ashland ... 14 0 Klamath Falls .... 6 0 Medford 19 Totals .. .85 64 Conference standings are as follows: Won Lost Tied Medford 3 0 0 Klamath Falls Ashland ..... .1 Grants Pass .......................0 The Squad Stan Bennett—Quarterback and Co-captain.

Two boys responsible for the team in general. basket Ball Beginning the season with only two members of last season’s squad. Coach Frank W. Beer had to spend much of the time in teaching his proteges the fundamentals of the game. Although not much success was attained in the conference games, the boys showed that with more experience they could play even ball with any conference team. Melton “Mike” Holloway was the mainstay and also high scorer this season with 84 points to his credit. He was followed by Clarence Havard who had 42 points. Other high scorers were: Burton Stokes, 41 ; Quentin Burden, 31 ; Keith Powert, 29; Bob Jackson, 29; Lloyd Coffenberry, 19. The conference schedule planned for four games each with Medford and Ashland. Although the Cavemen lost seven games, they succeeded in giving Ashland, winners of the conference title, its only defeat prior to the state tournament. Coach Beer kept a squad of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors practicing all season so that next year he will not be handicapped by inexperienced material. Very able assistance was given by Mr. Tuttle and Mr. Deal in developing this year’s team. Bob Madden, Jack Ridley, Bob Pritchett, Bud Gilmore, Kenneth Pruitt of this year’s squad will return next year with anticipation of a good team. Nine players received letter awards this year. SCORES The complete record of this year’s games: Grants Pass Team Score Grants Pass Team Score 20 Myrtle Creek 35 25 Medford 35 16 Glendale 40 21 Medford 22 28 Myrtle Creek 21 12 Roseburg 26 30 Glendale 24 22 Ashland 16 10 Ashland 27 22 Medford 30 13 Ashland 29 22 Klamath 24 24 Klamath 22 8 Ashland 28 15 Roseburg 19 304 424 The Squad All members of the squad had the experience of being captain in at least one game this season, and the following qualified for letters: Melton “Mike Holloway—Mike played his last season this year terminating three years of competition. He played consistent basketball through the year, and opponents acclaimed him the best player on the squad. Mike, high scorer of the season with 84 points to his credit, will be missed very much next year. Clarence Havard—Small but not invisible, Havard showed his taller opponents he could play “heads-up ball, and he also had a good eye under the basket and specialized in taking the ball from opponents. Havard scored 42 points this season. Burton Stokes—A veteran hoopster from last year was on the squad again this season to make plenty of trouble for G.P.H.S.’s opponents. His specialty was breaking up passes. Stokes had a good eye on long shots and made most of his 4 I points in this manner. Burton will be missed next year. Keith “Scuttah Powert—Playing his first year of basketball, Powert developed into a good guard. He was also good at taking the ball off the backboard. Showing that a beginner can learn fast, Powert made 29 points. Lloyd Coffenberry—Playing center, Lloyd could out-jump most of his opponents. Lloyd played good ball, but late in the season he was sick and did not regain his former stride. Lloyd scored 19 points this season. Bob Jackson—Jackson started out late in the season but soon broke into the limelight to show that he, too, could play basket ball. Bob was a good passer and also a good shot, scoring 29 points during the season. Bob Madden—One of two sophomores on the squad. Madden showed as much basket ball ability as others on the team. Bob was the most able of the guards. Much is expected of him in the next two years. Quentin Burden—The other sophomore who made good in his first year on the varsity squad was adept at shooting. Big things are also expected from him next year. He scored 31 points. Bob Pritchett—Pritchett, a very capable boy, knew very little of basket ball at the first of season, but soon learned and became a very valuable player. Bob sprained his ankle during the last of the season and was out for two weeks. Bob should do viell next year. He scored I 2 points. Bud Gilmore. Kenneth Pruitt, and Jack Ridley are returning for another year of competition. With the experience gained this year they should prove invaluable to G.P.H.S. Track After a rather disappointing season last year, the Cavemen cinder and weight men started out with hopes of a good season. The seniors won the annual inter-class meet with 83 1-2 points, and the juniors placed second with 70 points. In the first inter-school meet the Grants Pass track men took five out of 14 first places and a total of 69 points, while Medford won by six points. The Medford meet was won by the local team with 51 points. At Kerby the Cavemen nosed out Medford to win by 52 2-3 points. Coach L. L. Deal expects to take at least five men to the state meet at Corvallis, May 15 and 16. Baseball Baseball, a revived minor sport at G.P.H.S., progressed rapidly under the coaching of Loren Tuttle, Frank Beer, and M. B. Winslow. Although most of the boys were inexperienced, there were a few who had had sand-lot experience. The pitching staff consisted of Floyd Beck, Keith Powert, Melton Holloway, Fritz Morrison, and Bob Pritchett. Baseball as a minor sport was aided considerably by the business men of Grants Pass and the Merchants’ ball club. The high school team received as a gift from the Lang Range company, through the efforts of Ralph Linkhart of the Powell and Linkhart Furniture company, 12 complete suits made up in the school colors of the blue and white. The team also received from the Merchants’ club a catcher’s mask, protector, shin guards, mit, 12 balls, and 12 bats. '� � � ! Girls’ Tennis Both inter-school and inter-class tennis games were played this year. Formerly the girls took part in inter-class games only. Each class was represented by a team composed of two girls. The sophomore team, Shirley Knox and Thelma Holloway, won the tournament. Those on the inter-school team were Shirley Knox, June Branin, Sybil Stewart, Thelma Holloway, and Genevieve Treadgold. Games were played with Jacksonville, Ashland, and Klamath Falls. Boys’ Tennis In inter-class tennis the junior boys’ team won the Buhn’s inter-class tennis trophy this year. Boys on the winning team were Bud Gilmore, Stanley Clark, Bob Pritchett, and Waldo Gray. The inter-school tennis team got off with a good start, winning the game played April 1 I with Ashland there, 5-2, and the game played with Klamath Falls here, 7-0, on April 18. The boys on the team were selected by challenge games and were as follows: Don Dillingham, Bud Gilmore, Stanley Clark, Clarence Havard, Bill Lonigan, Quentin Burden, Fred Osborne, and Lloyd Coffenberry. The following was the tennis schedule: April 25, Ashland; May 2, Medford; May 9, Klamath Falls; May 16. Roseburg; and May 23, Ashland. The winning team from these five schools—Klamath Falls, Medford, Ashland, Roseburg, and Grants Pass—will be awarded a cup by Dr. C. L. Ogle. If one school wins the cup three successive years, the cup will be held permanently. Girls’ Athletic Association It has been customary in years past for the G. A. A. girls to earn their awards according to the Oregon Point System. This meant that the girls could not take part in any inter-school sports. This year it was decided that this system would be dropped, and the girls will now receive school awards for inter-school sports. Last year the Student Body purchased a bronze trophy to be given each year to the basket ball team which wins the inter-class championship. The members of the council are: Jeanette Turner, president; Georgia Cowdin, vice-president; Mary McAdam. secretary; Maurine Hermann, treasurer; Alfreda Drolette, general manager; Thelma Holloway, sophomore manager. Miss Lynnetta Quinlan is adviser. Science Club Tire Sigma Sigma Science club is a new organization in the high school. Its purpose is to help those interested in the various branches of science to learn more about them. New members are elected by the members of the club. To be eligible a student must have a schedule calling for three years of science or have had two years of science with an average grade of at least a two. As a project the club decided to make a six-inch reflecting telescope. Each member also made an individual project. Officers elected for the year were Gayle Anderson, president; Walter Harris, vice-president; Dan Belcher, secretary (later replaced by Louisa Trimble), and Darrell Baldwin, treasurer. G. Sterling Bailey is adviser. 51 Volley Boll For the first time in several years, the girls’ volley ball team participated in interschool games. Although it has been customary for the girls to hold inter-class games and to earn their awards according to the Oregon Point System, which does not allow interschool sports, this year it was decided to drop this method and to give the girls school awards. The team played seven games with Glendale, Riddle, and Myrtle Creek, winning three games—two from Riddle and one from Glendale. Those on the team were Shirley Knox, Sybil Stewart, Thelma Holloway, Laura Doyle, Marie Johnson, Marian Young, Alfreda Drolette, Louisa Trimble, Miriam 1 racy, Mary Ellen Sutherland, and Margaret Orr. The scores of the games won were: Glendale _. . 17 Grants Pass 28 Riddle 18 Grants Pass 33 Riddle 20 Grants Pass 33 Basket Ball Last year the Student Body purchased a bronze trophy, to be given each year to the winner of the girls’ inter-class basket ball tournament. The junior team won this trophy in a hard fought game with the sophomores, which ended 26 to 24 after nine minutes of over-time play. The girls spent several weeks in practicing before the tournament. All the classes were well represented. Those on the winning team were Louise Ramsey, Leola Albright, Alfreda Drolette, Miriam Tracy, Sybil Stewart, Norma Johnston, and Norma Bjorge.

Monthly the Tempora Latina.” or Latin Times, was edited. It was composed of the writings of students from both first and second year classes. Miss Nina Johnson is adviser. 52 Girls’ baseball Because of inter-school games, much more interest than has been customary, was taken in base ball. Practice under Miss Quinlan started in March, and the first game was played with Myrtle Creek. Schools played were Myrtle Creek, Ashland, Glendale, Riddle and Day’s Creek. Speed ball The first inter-class sport engaged in this season was speed ball. Little interest was shown in this sport, and it is expected that it will be dropped next year in order to give more time for inter-school sports. The girls spent three weeks in practicing after which they engaged in three games with the sophomores winning two out of the three. Those on the winning team were Marie Belcher, Georgia Cowdin, Laura Doyle, Alice Drolette, Thelma Holloway, Mary McAdam, Harriet Smith, and Mabel Swett. Members of the other team were Ernestine Crouch, Pearl Crouch, Marie Johnson, Alfreda Drolette, Elsie Brownell, June Branin, Helen Hollowell, and Norma Bjorge. Camera Club The Camera club accomplished more this year than for several years previous because of experiments with translight, bromide, and other developing papers in enlarging. They did some developing of films for outsiders. At the Girls’ League carnival in February the club developed pictures of people while they waited.
