Above is the Reverend H. H. Mit- chell in his churchyard. In ltfemory Olff!16 Wie have set aside this page in the 1941 TOKA in memory of the Reverend H. H. Mitchell, retired vicar of St. Luke's Episcopal church, whose death in january was a great loss to our school and commun- ity. His was a large and deciding part in the lives of high school students, and his chair is hard to fill. Reverend Mitchell was born in England and came to the United States in 1906. He resided-in Moscow, Idaho, before coming to Grants Pass to take charge of the local church in 1952. After his retirement from his position as active vicar of the church, he was elected to the school board in 1939. His participation in activities of the community in- cluded his membership in the Rotary club of which he was secretary at the time of his death. His residence was on North Fourth street and he was well known and respected throughout the locality. The TOKA staff here gratefully and reverently acknowledges Reverend Mitchell's service to Grants Pass high school as a member of our school board and to the community as a whole as an outstanding CIEIZCI1. .asa keverenol itcfze!! At right is the Reverend Mitchell as he appeared as a member of the Grants Pass high school board.

Alive and her kitty will lend you l Ihx'uug'h the doorway of Looking- glziss House. Cupper picture? In trying to deviate from the general type of themes used in previous years, the 1941 TOKA staff has chosen for you a trip through the school year 1940-41 with Lewis Carroll's famous character, Alice- Through-the-Looking-glass. just as Alice traveled down a magic passage to Looking-glass House, so this page will be your magic door to your Looking- glass House-a reflection of Grants Pass high school. With Alice, you will see mirrored in these pages the principal events of note during the year 1940-41. To make this trip as much like Alice's trip through the other Looking-glass House as possible, we have named our divisions after chapters in Alice Through- the-Looking-glassf' Since Alice's instructor was Humpty-Dumpty, we have given our administration section that name. Likewise, we have titled the class section Looking-glass Insects, the activity section Garden of Live Flowers, the athletic section after the famous battle of the Lion and Unicorn, and the features after Queen Alice. To further carry out our theme, we have elected by popular vote the schools prettiest brunette and prettiest blonde to represent Alice's companions, the Red Queen and the White Queen. Like Alice, we are pawns in a huge chess-game trying to reach the last square, where we will become kings and queens-with mortar- boards in place of crowns. And now we invite you to take Alice by the hand and step through the doorway of Looking-glass House. May the 1941 TOKA give you an accurate reflection of your position on the checkerboard. e come to oo z'ng:g oss ouse ,Xt right is at picture of the TOKA assembly p1'og.:'rz1m in which Amy Pruden its Alive looks through the il-norway of I.t1f1kinp.f-glass House with Marian llunson and Jane Dy- sert. 4
