HOOD RIVER GUIDE The high school paper was mimeographed weekly under the leadership of Roy Gallaway, editor. Thirty-three issues were put out during the school year. The staff assisting the editor were members of the news class, taught by Mr. Knight. The special staff appointments were: editor, Roy Callaway, assistant, Richard Duckwall, columnist, Millard Carnes, sports, Gerald Brower, exchange, Evelyn Paasch, reporters, members of the news class, adviser, Mr. Knight. The Hood River Guide is a member of the Quill and Scroll, the Na- tional Mimeograph Press Association, and the National Scholastic Press Association. Copies of the Guide were exchanged with high schools in Oregon, and many other states in the Union. PEP CLUB The Hood River High School Pep Club was organized in the fall of 1936. At the first meeting Verajean Kolstad was elected president, Elizabeth Galligan, vice-president, Mike Chambers, secretary-treasurer, Allison Childs, yell leader, did much to help promote the Pep club. Miss Elliott was the club's adviser. The members number over one hundred students. The main purpose the Pep club had was to generally stimulate student interest as well as outside interest in the activities of the school. Football rallies had a much better attendance. At some of the more important foot- ball games, stunts were put on between halves by the Pep club. A much better cheering section was formed with new yells worked out and old ones improved. The Pep club uniform consists of a white sweater with the blue dragon emblem. White banners with blue H.R.H.S. on each were given to Pep club members.

'- THE MASCOT' ' ' Activities STAGE CREW One of the most active groups in school are those unsung heroes, the stage crew. They are never starred, yet they form the backbone of all the plays and operettas and many of the assemblies. This year Ember Talbot was manager of the stage crew and had as his assistants Bill Abbott, Robert Small, Wilson Wells, and Victor Hansen. lt is the duty of these boys to tend to stage scenery, lights, curtain, and any emergency which may arise. This year has been especially busy for them. They constructed two elaborate sets for the Dramatic club play. SCHOOL FIREMEN An organization very valuable to the school is the firemen squad. Mr. Knight is their adviser. Gerald Brower was elected chief for the school year 1936-37. A captain was appointed for each floor: Cleo Freed, top floor, Vic Hansen, main floor, and Russ Graff, basement. The boys volunteer their services, and are stationed at designated hydrants, in groups of three. When a fire alarm sounds the boys know their posts and assignments. The group is well drilled and efficient. USHER GROUP The usher group is made up of junior girls who volunteer their ser- vices. The group is headed by Betty Calmettes, junior counselor. These girls usher at every entertainment held in the high school auditorium. This year they have been very efficient and well managed. The group ushered for 'KS-eventeenw, '6Oh, Doctor! , 'fOne of the Familyn, and the graduation exer- cises. Miss Dulcie Lytsell was the adviser. LIBRARIANS ' Seven girls under the supervision of Miss Lucile Stephens and later Miss Marian Howe, took excellent care of the library. A librarian was ap- pointed for each period and it was her duty to take care of the records for the books taken out and returned during the period. This year many new and valuable books were added to the usual list. The reference system was re- novated and rechecked. The librarians who served this year were: Lois Hand, Marguerite Clark, Shirley Baker, Hiede Ogawa, Helen Hazeltine, Rose Beau- champ and Mary Alice Smith. TICKET SQUAD The ticket squad, composed of twenty five ticket sellers and a corre- sponding group of boys as vigilantes, were most active and helpful during the year. Their chief work was done during football season. The ticket sell- ers were placed at various entrances to the field while the vigilantes pa- trolled the field and sidelines, keeping the youngsters off the field and from in front of the stands. Mr. Coleman advised the vigilantes, and Miss Lytsell, aided by the entire faculty, advised the ticket sellers. Twenty-nine
