Two members of the debate team came from its ranks, and all of the athletic teams were composed principally of Seniors. Showing their ability in all lines and being leaders in practically every activity the school boasts of, the graduating class is one of the best to ever go from Medford Hi. The football team, the basketball team, and the baseball and track teams were made up of a good portion of Seniors. Much interest has been taken in dramatics, in the opera and other plays they were well represented. By triumphing over the Juniors in debate, the interclass cup goes to the Senior closs. They have also a good start toward the competitive interclass athletics cup by winning the basketball championship as this book goes to press, and seem to have excellent prospects of winning in track and base- ball, also.

The Senior Class picnic day had come and gone, but of the picnickers that had started out that beautiful morning, not one thing had been heard or seen, and the city was frantic in its endeavors to find the misisng future citizens of Medford. Three weeks later, while vainly scouring the country, one of the search- ing party found the following will floating down Bear Creek in an empty pop bottle: THE SENIOR CLASS WILL VVe, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-five, being too wise and holy to exist on this mortal realm have, of one accord, departed hence to higher and nobler regions. But we cannot depart in peace until we have left our earthly possessions in the care of those whom we know they will best befit.

To the Sophomores we will our conspicuousness, in hopes that their presence may be known to exist next year. To the Freshmen we will our carefully saved stacks of O. R.

Page Forty-five lm i THE CRATER 1 fl 25l CLASS PROPHECY BY ALMUS PRUITT AND HOWARD SPALDING. 'Tis mid-afternoon of a beautiful spring day, the soft blue of the sky, broken here and there by a white, lieecy cloud, furnishes a perfect canopy for the green hills and flower-dotted meadows below. Birds are trilling among the apple blossoms, occasionally a darting humming bird. resplendent in rainbow colors, flashes across the sky. And far off on the horizon, scintil- lating with unattainable glory, the eternal snows of the high mountains lend a touch of enchantment to the scene. But in the Physics Laboratory of the High School, totally oblivious to the beauties of nature about him, Mr. Cope works away among his bottles and test tubes. He is mixing a wonderful sleeping potion, a hundred times more powerful than any heretofore known, which, when taken, will give to the patient a marvelous power of clairvoyancy, enabling him to penetrate the veil of the future and see events which are not to transpire for many years. Slowly he stirs the precious potion as it boils over the fire. Then, with trembling hands, he takes a test tube and, dipping it full of the mixture, adds a pinch of brown powder and hastily corks the tube. At last, the time has come to make the final test, the test which will determine whether his invention is a mere worthless mixture of chemical ingredients or a discovery which will add eternal glory to his name. Cautiously he takes the tube and starts across the room, then-horrors of horrors!! His shaking hands drop the bottle and with a tinkling crash it breaks on the tioor. Instantly a light, greenish-colored gas rises from the floor, drifts through the door and gradually fills the building. A few moments later a spectator, looking in at the door, would have been extremely bewildered by the sight that met his eyes. Fallen here and there, draped over desks or leaning against the blackboards, with pieces of chalk still in their hands, the students were all fast asleep. And perhaps even more amazed would the spectator have been if he could have looked into their dreams and seen what each was doing. For the magic potion had lifted them into the future, twenty years from now, and each was finding what destiny had in store for him. Ha, Hecate, ring up the curtain! and let us see the futures of these fair youngsters who have thus unwittingly become their own diviners! Jimmy Allen, after years of toil and hard labor, has just been promoted to the position of head dish-washer at the jacksonville Restaurant. You can't keep a good man down, says jim. Eleanor Ames is now playing ingenue roles with the Rosebud Pictures, Inc., her inocent looks and sweet behavior having won her the position. Constance Andrews is the only person in Medford without bobbed hair. Recently she had an offer to sell her coiffure by the yard, but refused to listen to any sort of a proposition. Llewellyn Bates is now a famous woman-hater and has retired to a her- mitage on top of Table Rock to escape the attentions of the females who constantly pursue him. Page Forty-six i I9 H ?r THE CRATER V 2.5! Keith Baughman has just started an air-stage between the earth and Mars, and says that undoubtedly the near future will see communications between all the planets firmly established.

S., the juniors ran a close race with the Seniors for leading in all school activities of importance. The class of '26 was well represented on all four of the athletic teams and two of the school debaters came from their ranks. Under the capable leadership of Frank Van Dyke, the undergraduates made the upper-classmen step to keep ahead of them in the major lines of endeavor. Although not winning the basketball championship, they were only beaten by one point by the Seniors and were right on the heels of the grads all of the time. Dramatics were one of the juniors' strong points, the opera and other representative plays put on during the years contained a good portion of juniors in the leading parts. The class has more than the usual quota of eiiicient leaders and bids fair to make next year one of the most successful in history.

Although not winning in basketball, the team put on the field gave the others some strong opposition, In 1924 their ball tossers gave the Seniors a beating and lost to the others by only one run in each contest. There have been members on practically every high school squad this year. The class of '27 have always had a number of blue card students, showing that athletics is not their only strong point. One thing that kept them from showing as much pep as the other classes is the fact that they are scattered in different parts of the building, so that they could not get together. In future years some of the same people whose names are on the class roll now will be leaders in the school's activities and much is expected of them when they become upper-classmen.

Although boasting of no letter men in any of the more important activi- ties, they were well represented on all of the teams.

FOCTBALL Coach Callison issued an early call for football men, to which enough re- sponded to keep three teams on the held all year. Among those to answer the call of the gridiron were many letter men of last year's championship team, including Dressler, three-stripe mang Van Scoyoc, Hurt, Singler and Senn. With White, Knips, Conrad, Demmer. Anderson and Fat Neff coming up from the second team, the lineup was complete. Dunn, a new man from Washington, proved valuable at quarterback, alternating with Anderson in the games. In the course of the season other material was developed in Laing, Moore, Archer, Lawrentz, Von Der Hellen, Hubbard, Hamlin and C. Chastain. Early in the year, before any games had been played, Mervyn Chastain in- jured his foot in scrimmage and was unable to participate in any of the games. His loss weakened the team greatly. for he was showing much prom- ise at quarter.

MEDFORD HI PLAYS ALUMNI SCORELESS GAME The Alumni lineup was composed of stars from previous year's teams, as well as a few who never wore the Red and Black for Medford Hi. The game was slow and the scrim- mage went from one end of the field to the other. Except for the punting of Demmer the contest was featureless. The high school goal was threatened only once. In the third quarter a long pass, Rudy Singler to Riddle, and a 20- yard end run by Baughman put the ball on the 10-yard line. Conrad's spectac- ular tackle of Baughman saved the goal from being crossed. Fat Neff, at guard, went through the line time after time and threw the man with the ball for a loss. The whole team deserved much praise. Dressler, tackle, and Singler and Red,' White, ends, played exceptionally well, stopping many a plunge off-tackle or around end. Knips showed up well, passing accur- ately to the backs. Lack of condition hampered the Alumni most during the game and they had to take time out repeatedly in order to regain their lost wind. X , , I9 KCKJ THE CRATER l- 25 MEDFORD DEFEATS CRESCENT CITY, 38 T0 6 The second game was better played than the first. Medford scored soon after the beginning whistle. After Crescent City had fumbled the kick-off and Medford recovered. Chuck Van Scoyoc tore around end 25 yards for a touchdown. Although Crescent City outweighed the local men considerably, the Medford backs went smashing through the line repeatedly. In the third period Med- ford's second string men took the field and held the visitors. The Coast City's score came shortly after the opening of the fourth quarter. when their left half took the ball on an off-tackle buck and broke away to run 50 yards to the goal. Dunn injured his shoulder attempting to tackle him and had to be taken out. Medford's aerial game succeeded in bringing many long gains from heaves to the ends and halfs. Chuck Van Scoyoc handled the tiring end well and his bullet-like passes were seldom inter- cepted. KLAMATH FALLS HUMBLED 54 TO 0 Scoring almost at will, Medford de- cisively trounced the Klamath Lumber- jacks by a large score on their own grid- iron. From the kick-off the Red and Black smashed from one end of the field to the other, with Klamath Falls offer- ing hardly any resistance. Chuck Van Scoyoc was Medford's outstanding ground gainer and scored three touch- downs. Early in the fourth period Senn, Medford fullback, intercepted a pass and with the aid of Dunn. who warded off two threatening tacklers, ran 90 yards to the Klamath Falls goal. All of the team deserves much credit for the work done in the game, the line was a veritable stone wall when it came to holding the opponents.

Every few miles land- slides blocked the way and forced many detours and much discomfort to the players. Due to an accident on the highway near Canyonville, Principal Campbell's car was unable to reach Marshfield, so that the four players and Coach Callison, riding in the car. were forced to stop. The game was played without the services of these men. Dunn, Medford quarterback, made the first score of the game when he took the ball on Marshf1eld's 25-yard line and skirted right end for a touchdown. Conrad converted the try for goal and added the point that won the game. Toward the close of the third period, after the ball had been changing hands frequently, Marshiield threatened the Medford goal, but lost the ball on downs. Senn's punt was blocked and Marshfield man fell on it behind the line. The attempt at the extra point failed and the game ended with the score 7 to 6 in Medford's favor. All of the players did their best and the winning of this game shows what the Medford fight can accomplish.

The iirst score was made by Van Scoyoc shortly after the game started on a trick play in which the ball was put into action without a signal. Con- rad converted the try for point. In the second period after a 35-yard run-back of a punt by Dunn and another long gain by Van Scoyoc, White took a beautiful pass from Van Scoyoc and ran 25 yards for a touchdown. The try for goal failed by inches. In the same period the Medford team smashed its way down the field to Grants Pass' two-yard line and Conrad carried the ball over and kicked the goal. Grants Pass had been highly touted as a passing team, but failed to show anything out of the ordinary. Medford intercepted one or two of the tosses and completed several successful ones of their own. Since the passing game did not gain for them. Grants Pass tried line bucking. but found that the Med- ford forward defense was too strong for them. Van Scoyoc broke away on an off-tackle buck in the third quarter, eluded the defensive halves and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Van Scoyoc was the star of the game. though all the players showed up well. Senn played a brilliant defensive game at full, stopping the man with the ball repeatedly.

At the opening of the game things looked bad for the Medford boys, as Ashland got the jump and outplayed them. Using an illegal screen pass, they completed nearly every attempted heave and would have probably put it over Medford had the referee not stopped the use of it. After the Granite City men had pushed the ball down to Medford's one- yard line, the local team tightened up, tore through every play of Ashland's and took the ball on downs. Demmer punted out and the Red and White again started to march down the held, but were stopped ten yards short of the goal. By this time the old Medford iight was going strong and the team smashed their way the length of the tield for a touchdown. Senn carried the ball over after a series of line bucks. In the attempt for a goal the pass from center was a little wide and Van Scoyoc fumbled. Conrad, standing ready to place-kick, picked up the loose ball and drop-kicked it over. Ashland's tirst score came when Gandee went around end for 50 yards. Aided by good interference and a weaving manner of running, he crossed the goal line without being tackled. Shortly after the beginning of the second half the Red and Black again shoved the ball down under the shadow of the Ashland goal posts and Conrad carried it over and kicked goal. making the score 14 to 6. Ashalnd kept fighting and in the fourth quarter a short pass, Marske to Katzer, who ran the rest of the distance to the line, gave them six more points. Knips blocked the attempted place-kick. Medford threatened the opponents' goal again when Van Scoyoc intercepted one of their passes and ran to their 15- yard line. The whistle blew before the hall could be put over the last chalk mark and the game ended 14 to 12 in favor of the local men. THANKSGIVING DAY GAME- .

A summary of the games follows: MEDFORD, 283 EUREKA QCALQ, 15. The local boys had been practicing about a week when they played this game. At first the contest was rather slow and the score did not vary much until the latter part of the game, when Medford began to show their ma- chine-like team-work.

Medford led most of the time by about one or two field goals. The Alumni were lucky with their shots, Singler and Beeny each tossing two from the center of the floor. Knips was high-point man for Med- ford, with fourteen. M. Chastain was close, with thirteen. The high school men won on the lack of team-work and of condition of their opponents. Laing and Demmer alternated at center be- cause of Allen's illness. MEDFORD, 245 NEWBERG, 8.

Some of the third team men were put in and held the visitors to 17-4 at the end of the third quar- ter. The game was slow and uninteresting throughout, with the Medford team showing only occasional flashes of form. MEDFORD, 30: YREKA, 6. With Knips and Chastain scoring almost at will, the Medford team defeated the California quintet by a large score. The game was slow and only in the last half did the local team extend themselves. Laing played Allen's position at center, and showed up well. MEDFORD, Z2-11g EUGENE, 15-17. The first game was fast and there was much clever passing and teamwork. Eugene started scoring and in the first few minutes ran up five points. The Medford offense then swung into action and brought the score up to S-6, where it rested at the half. In the second half both teams came back hard with a de- termination to win, and the play was fast and furious. Towards the last of the game Medford started stalling, They used this trick at the tournament last year against the same team, but Eugene M. Chastain, Forward. was unable to break it up.

The half Eugene piled up Mervyn Chastain closely, he caged several clever shots. but made up by his floor-work, The guards, Williams and White, played good ball throughout the game. The majority of Rugene's scores were long shots from outside the foul line. Milli- gan was the star for the visitors and his all-round playing was brilliant. MEIJFORD, 44-343 PHOENIX, 14-12. The first game, played on the Ar- mory floor, was a Walk-away for the Medford team. The iinal score stood 44-14. The Phoenix team relied on one man, and when he was garded closely, were helpless. Mervyn Chastain led the offense for the local team and added 13 points to his credit. Laing, playing cen- ter, was high-point man of the contest, with 15 markers, and also aided ma- terially in taking the ball through the Phoenix defense. Kerns was the star for Phoenix and his dribbling was ex- cellent at all times. The foul shooting was poor on both sides, but Medford was the worse of the two, making but two of seventeen tries. The return game, played at the Phoenix Gym, resulted in another vic- tory for the Red and Black. This time the score was 34-12, with M. Chastain high-point man. The Medford team played much better basketball and shot from all angles.

Without the services of M. Chastain or jim Allen, the Medford team lost both games to the Frosh. The tirst was by a score of 34-21, and the sec- ond 22-19. In the initial contest the Frosh scored at will soon after the game started. With the play fast and furious, the older team had the advantage over the local men in reach, and used a system of tip passing which made it practically impossible for the Medford defense to get hold of the ball. White was the star of the game, besides being high-point man. He was the pivot of the offense and dribbled through the vie-man defense of the Frosh time and again. Beeney, a former Medford star, was the whole show for the Frosh when it came to shooting, making' eighteen points.

With two minutes hardt, center for the Frosh, dropped in Unlike the contest of the previous night, the Medford team played a game equal or superior to that of their oppo- nents, and it was only hard luck and poor foul-shooting that beat them. White again starred for the Red and Black. During the first half he kept the crowd on its feet with his aggressive playing, dribbling through the Frosh de- fense repeatedly, when the forwards could not pierce the iirst line, and scor- ing nine points. The score stood 13-9 at the half, with Red responsible for seven of Medford's points. Beeney, Frosh forward who was so successful in shooting in the first game, was guarded so closely that he made only two points as compared to eighteen of the preced- ing night. ROSEBURG, 10g MEDFORD, 25. The team went to Roseburg and cap- tured the game by a decisive score. The first half started off with Medford scor- ing on a foul, followed closely by an- other. Roseburg could not penetrate Medford's defense so resorted to long shots. The score at the half was 13-3. The third and fourth quarters were a repetition of the other two.

The third Freshman game, played on the University gym floor, was hard fought and exciting. The yearlings failed to get going in the hrst half and were four points to the bad at the intermission, Medford leading, 7-3. Both teams had line chances to convert open shots under the basket but could not make more than a very small percentage of them. In the second half the two opposing quintets came back lighting hard to win. Luck was against Medford, for with six minutes to go the score stood 14-8 in their favor. At that point, Eberhardt of the Frosh started a rally which netted them six baskets, all of them difficult shots from the center of the floor. MEDFORD, 293 ASHLAND, 20. The first of the four-game series with the old rivals, Ashland, played on their Hoor, resulted in a victory for Medford. The Lithians took the lead at the start and ran the score up to 7-2 before the local men got started to playing in their old-time form. 'fTuffy Chastain starred throughout the game and was the most difhcult man to guard on the floor. Knips also had one of his shoot- ing streaks and made twelve points. In the second half Ashland made but one iield' goal, a fact that reflects much credit on the stellar work of f'Red White and Tulley Williams. MEDFORD, 393 ASHLAND, 24. The second game, played on the local Armory floor, resulted in another Win for the Medford squad. Being somewhat of a repetition of the previous night's contest, Ashland took the lead at the start, but Medford soon over- took them and thereafter were never headed. Opening up in the second half with a territic pace, the local team rolled ' up ten points with ease. Laing, Center.

In the last few minutes ofi the game, when Ashland was making desperate efforts to tie the score, Medford re- sorted to the stalling game with Demmer as pivot man, and drove the opposing team and adherents into a frenzy. MEDFORD 23g ROSEBURG 9. The second Roseburg game, played on the local floor, was alwalkaway for the Medford quintet. Although possessing a good defense, the north- erners had no semblance of an offense and could not do anything with the ball once they got hold of it. Merve Chastain injured his foot in the first half and could not continue. Jimmie Allen was high point man izvith seven and White a close second with six points. l l MEDFORD l4g ASHLAND 18. The third of the four-game series with Ashland went to the old rivals. Playing a great game all the way through, the Lithians deserved to come out victors in the contest. g In the first half it was about even. with both teams going fast and fighting hard for the lead. The second half went more in Ashland's favor. By accurate shooting they managed to hold a small advantage over the local men which could not be overcome.

By winning the final game of the Ashland series, Medford annexed the Southern Oregon title for the third consecutive year. Starting out with a rush, Ashland kept Medford fighting every minute to keep ahead. Bryant, center for the losers, threw live of the longest field goals ever seen on the Lithia City's floor. In the f1rst quarter these tive shots made things look pretty bad for Medford, but before long Chastain and Knips began to work together better and piled up enough of a lead to keep Ashland humping trying to catch up. The play was close and not until the last did Medford have the advant- age over their opponents. Chastain and Bryant tied for highest honors with 14 points apiece, while Red White, Medford guard, was second with nine. STATE TOURNAMENT MEDFORD ld, FRANKLIN HIGH 32. Medford High lost the first game played at the State Tournament at Salem to the Franklin High quintet, champions of Portland. The winners outclassed the local men completely and but for poor man- agement would have won the state title. The team arrived in the Capitol City in a very poor condition, and injuries in the course of the game also hampered them and prevented them from making the good showing of which they were I capable. Chastain had his shoulder ldis- located in the first quarter and could not shoot accurately because of this. However, there are no excuses to make. The team went up and did its best and a better team beat them.

I In the past years baseball has been given very little representation in the annuals. but this issue is running a complete write-up of the 1924 lseason, With six letter men from the 1023 squad: Rupert Maddox and Aubrey Rees, pitchersg 'l'uffy', Chastain, catcher: Claire Williams, seconcl base: Reichstein and Glascock, outfield, Coach Callison spent a good partiof the year developing an iniield combination that would work together as well as separately. While the basketball team was still back in Chicago, the class games were run off and resulted in the Sophomores winning the pennant. lfrom the showings made in these contests many men turned out and made the high school team. l The first game was played on the home held after only a week's prac- tice. and resulted in a loss to the Grants Pass nine by a score of 6 to l. The local clouters played poor ball and hit nothing but air most of the time. Maddox went the route for Medford and pitched well enough to nlin the game had his teammates been in a hitting mood. The second game turned out more favorably for the Red and Black. By hard and frequent hitting Page Eighty-o I9 w WmWf7rHE CRATER 25 l they managed to nose out the Cave City team, ll to 10. Rees started on the mound, but had little luck and Maddox got credit for winning the game by holding the G. P. aggregation for the last live innings. Chastain and Dunn led the hitting, with the latter knocking one out in the tall weeds for a homer. Medford tackled Ashland on the up-hill diamond of the Red and White and came out on the short end of a ll to 7 score. Maddox started on the mound, but the old baseball jinx that Ashland seems to hold over Medford worked against him and Rees replaced him in the sixth. Kanasto pitched a good game of ball for the Lithians. Klamath Falls came over to take home the scalp of the Medford bunch, but were foiled, the latter winning, S to 6. Schoeni, Medford's first south- paw pitcher, hurling his first game for the Red and Black, went the full nine innings, and but for poor support from the infield would have held the visitors down with ease. The Klamath team were good hitters but poor fielders, most of the local team's runs coming across following errors. M. Chastain caught a good game and clouted the pellet far and wide. Grants Pass attempted to repeat their feat earlier in the season by de- feating the Medford team on their own grounds, but failed because of too much Maddox. Backed by good support, t'Rupe kept the G. P. batters in hand and eased out of the game with the score 5 to 3 in his team's favor. McBee and Dunn in the infield and Reichstein in the outfield covered lots of territory, cutting down many smashes that were ticketed for extra bases. Ten innings it took for Medford to defeat them in the return game on their own diamond. Coming from behind with the score 9 to 3 against them in the fifth, Medford clouted Lefty Bailey opportunely, and behind the airtight pitching of Schoeni, who relieved Rees in that inning, nosed out the home team, 11 to 9. The left-handed batters of the Climate City were unable to find the delivery of Schoeni, who struck out eight in the last five frames. Chastain led the hitting with four hits out of live times up and caught a steady game. journeying over to Klamath Falls, the Medford nine took the game from the lumberjacks by a score of 18 to 5. The contest was loosely played and the fielding erratic because of the rough diamond. Maddox held the easterners back and the result was never in doubt after the first inning, when Medford made five runs. In the next game, played on the local diamond, Medford broke the jinx and defeated Ashland for the first time in the history of the school. To Maddox goes the honor of being the first to humble the Red and White in baseball. The big right-hander hurled fine ball and together with the loose fielding of the southerners took the game, 10 to 4. Reichstein and Chastain featured at the stick. A The third Ashland game went to the Lithians by a score of 7 to 4. Playing better ball all the way through, backed by the superb pitching of Kanasto, the Ashland team had the local men outclassed. Schoeni did mound duty for Medford and struck out eleven men. The fourth and last Ashland game went to Medford. Drubbing their opponents for the second time in the season, Maddox was again invincible and came out of the fracas winner by a big margin, 12 to 2 being the final score. The whole team hit Kanasto hard. Making it two out of four in the Ashland series, Medford finished the season in a tie with Grants Pass, winning seven games and losing three. Page Eightyatwo I9 1 l THE CRATER A 25l raft l As in baseball, the editor decided to run the account of the previous season in order to give a just representation to these lines of sport in the annals of the school. The Class of '25 challenged and defeated the rest of the classes com- bined in an inter-class track meet held at the high school field. In May a combination track and field meet was sponsored by Medford Hi and run off at the fair grounds for the championship of Southern Oregon. The contestants finished in the order named: Medford, Roseburg, Ash- land, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls.

Most of the contests came in the latter part of the season on account of the difficulty in getting opponents for the girls to play. Although there were a few practice games with smaller unimportant teams, the only notable opposition was with Grants Pass, Roseburg and Ashland, and these turned out to be easy victories for the Red and Black. MEDIVORD 32g ALUMNI 9 The high school team had little difficulty in winning from the old grads. Despite the fact that the contest was rough and fast, the former had things mostly their own way and came out at the long end of a big score. Being rather early for first-class playing, the teamwork on both sides was ragged at times, but the forwards, Babe Griiiin and Marion Newman, proved too much for the opposing guards. MIEDFORIJ 41: TALENT 14 The initial conference game toward the Southern Oregon title, Medford defeated the Talent sextette by a good sized score. The game was very one-sided, but fast and clean. Babe was the star and high pointer with 24 points after her name in the scorebook. The guards, Teddy Champie and Dot Ball, played good teamwork and held down their forwards with ease. MEDFORD 435 CENTRAL POINT 16 This game, played on the northerners tioor, turned out to be very easy. The girls were hampered by the smallness of the court but nevertheless they outclassed their opponents completely and ran up a good many points before the final whistle blew. The team as a whole played fine ball and the C. P. aggregation never had a chance after the start. MEDFORD 45g ROSEBURG 17 Although great difficulty was experienced in getting the girls to Roseburg for the game, it was finally accomplished by sending them up in taxis. The contest was one of the roughest and fastest ever seen on the Roseburg floor and by winning this Medford cut them out of any chance for the champion- ship. Marjorie Kelly managed to wear down a couple of opposing centers during the game and the two forwards, Babe and Tiny, ran the guards ragged, the former making 21 points and 24 going to the credit of the latter. MEDFORD 52g GRANTS PASS 18 The Grants Pass team was easily defeated on their own floor in a very one-sided game. The Cave City girls offered practically no resistance to the offense of the Red and Black and also showed very poor form in shoot- ing, seldom making any of their attempts count. The Blue and White girls put up a stiffer fight in the second half and Page Eightyefive I9 THE CRATER 25 made going a little harder for the locals. Tiny Newman proved too much for the opposing guards, in the course of the game she managed to slip in 20 field goals and two fouls. As is usually the case, the opposing forwards seemed unable to do anything against the Medford defense and were forced to extend themselves to score. MEDFORD 433 ASHLAND 21 The first game with old rivals, the Granite City, was one of the hardest fought and fastest games of the season. The teams were very evenly matched and the contest was much closer than the score would indicate. It was through the wonderful playing of the center pair, Bill,' and Kelly, that the Medford sextette was able to run up such a score over their oppon- ents, as their teamwork was a feature. Tiny,' was on a rampage again and made 32 points. Despite the roughness of the play the local team put it over the Red and White and held a big lead throughout the contest, forg- ing ahead from the start. Through the hard work of the guards, Teddy Champie and Dotl' Ball, the Ashland offense did not show up well and made only six field goals. MEDFORD 593 GRANTS PASS 12 In the last game of the season on the home Hoor, Grants Pass was again swamped by the local girls. Seemingly unable to stick with their forwards, the visitors' guards showed their lack of experience, but put up a game fight throughout the entire time. 'fBabe Griflith shot baskets from all parts of her section, making 28 points and playing a stellar game. MEDFORD 36, ASHLAND 28 The Southern Oregon championship was clinched for the Red and Black when they defeated the Ashland girls 'in the return game on the Lithians' floor. Played as a preliminary to the boys' game, both Medford teams won the titles in their branch on the same night. Unlike the first contest on the local fioor, the two kept close together and not until the last few minutes did the Red and Black forge ahead. The Ashland players showed quite an improvement over the former contest and made the locals tight hard for whatever they got. f'Babe Griffin had one of her on', nights and converted the most of her shots from all angles. Those who received letters are: Juanita Griffin, Marion Newman, Marjorie Kelly, Wilda Darneille, Vera Champie, Ruth Newman, Dot Bali and Marjorie Goff. Scoring 351 points to their opponents' 135, the Medford girls' team passed through one of the most successful seasons in history, winning all eight of their games with no score being less than 32 points, a splendid achievement.

Under the guidance of Miss Gore, music supervisor, a Christmas program, composed of old traditional carols and folk songs, was put on at the Methodist church, playing before a large and appreciative audience. The costuming was very appropriate for the entertainment, each girl wearing a long black robe surmounted with White collars and carrying a tall lighted candle. Being the first of its kind ever put on in Medford, the numbers rendered were well received. Work in earnest on the opera selected for presentation, the H, M. S. Pinaforej' began early in the second semester and many practices were necessary to perfect the singing that accompanied it. The sailor girl choruses were picked from the Glee Club members, about twenty-five being required to successfully carry out the difficult musical scores that accompanied the play. The experience of acting before the footlights proved a novelty to many, who had never taken part in a presentation on a large scale such as the one put on this year. , Page Ninety-two I9 l THE CRATER 251 BOYS, GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club, while one of the oldest organizations in Medford High, is in a way one of the newest, for at the Iirst practice only a few were experienced along this line of work. Quite a bit of enthusiasm over the opera, UH. M. S. Pinaforej, was evinced and spurred on by the thought that they could be sailors for once in their lives, the members all worked hard learning and perfecting their parts in the choruses. By much perseverence and patience, Miss Gore man- aged to bring them up to a high standard of efficiency in this branch, and as a result the singing this year was as fine as has been presented in preceeding operas. In addition to their excellent work on the play, the club also entertained the student body on several occasions by singing at the assemblies. There were about twenty regular members throughout the year, but there being no one who could play the piano in their midst, Joyce Maddox was selected to accompany them. Because of the diflicult nature of the music which is included in the Pinafore, a great deal of practice was necessary to master it and the able assistance of 'tjoyu on the piano was of much benefit.

QUARTETTES The boys' and girls' quartettes have taken a greater part in the activities of the school this year than ever before. Under Miss Gorels direction the two have put on some line programs. The boys entertained the assembly several times by their original skits and impersonations. Black-face paro- dies with all five of them on the stage proved highly amusing to the students and they were liberal with their encores. In addition to singing before the high school they have filled in at many occasions, such as 'iThe Taming of the Shrewl' between acts, and also at the opera, 'fPinafore. The girls' quartette has kept pace with the boys' and have on their list of entertainment many places, such as before the assembly, the College Womenls club, the Teachers' Institute, 'tThe Taming of the Shrew, and other organizations of a like nature. Plans are being made for an extended trip north by both quartettes some time in May. They would visit all of the major high schools up-state and put on a program before their student bodies. This is something new for a high school to attempt and it is hoped that they can carry it through and advertise the Medford High School wherever they go. ety-four 19 l THE CRATER l 25 Maddox, Miss Gore, Beaton, Childreth, Dugan, Coss, Burns, Combes, Kirkpatrick ORCHESTRA At the beginning of the school year it looked as though there would be an insuiiicient number of musicians to make up a first-class orchestra, but by the time the work on the opera had begun enough were at the practices to insure splendid accompaniment for the play. In addition to furnishing the music for the Pinafore, they performed before the assembly on several occasions and at the Taming of the Shrew, which was sponsored by the Dramatic Club, they rendered some selections which won much favorable comment. The orchestral parts in the opera presented this year were much more difficult than any of those previous to it, but with hard work and practice the members mastered their parts Well and when the night of the presenta- tion came around they carried the harmony part Well. The music for the Senior Play and Commencement was taken care of by the orchestra and was much enjoyed. ORCHESTRA MEMBERS Violin-Mary Beaton, Jean Hoffman, Richard Dugan, Kenneth Childreth.

Page Ninety five H. M. S. PINAFOREU 61 E EIHL .LVHO HEI Sz 19 l THE CRPITER 25 HH. M. S. Pinaforen The Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera. the S. Pinaforef' was presented by the Medford High School Glee Clubs on April 1, 1925. The opera was directed by Miss Elizabeth Gore of the music department. The action of the play takes place on board the Pinafore and involves the love affair of Josephine, the captain's daughter, with a common sailor. At first she rejects his attentions on account of the wide difference in their social stations, but finally capitulates. She then finds that through exchange while young, her sailor is really a captain by birth and her father a plain seaman. Cecil Coss, who acted the part of Josephine, the captain's daughter, deserved much praise for her beautiful singing and tine acting. The part of Ralph Rackstraw, the common sailorf' and josephine's ardent suitor, was admirably portrayed by George johnson. Francis Neff, as the hard-boiled and overbearing captain of the Pina- forefl delighted the audience by his excellent voice and distinct enunciation of the speaking parts. The role of Sir joseph Porter, high admiral of the queen's navy, was splendidly acted by Lester Lawrentz. His clear tenor voice met with in- stant appreciation and his humorous solos were conducive of much praise. Buttercup, the bumboat woman, played by Vera Champie, was another character who was commented very favorably upon. Ruth Newman. as Hebe, cousin to Sir joseph, was the pretty and coquet- tish young maid who exchanged the captain and the sailor when they were babies. The part of Dick Deadeye, the repulsive villain on the Pinafore,'l was taken by Gordon Kershaw. With his deep bass voice and hilariously funny antics he delighted the audience throughout the play. Adiel Neff, acting the role of boatswain's mate, showed good vocal talent. An interesting feature of the entertainment was a sailor's hornpipe dance by ten picked girls, with Alice Roberts leading. The choruses, chosen from the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, were ex- cellently worked out and contributed some splendid singing. Snappy sea music, furnished by the orchestra, well constructed and appropriate scenery all helped make the opera a big success.

Although they did not take any high honors in the state band contest at Corvallis, they went up there and did their best, which is all that could be expected. Their snappy playing and natty uniforms helped greatly in making the football and basketball games a success. They were always present at every contest and aided in keeping the enthusiasm at a high pitch when the Red and Black were behind. While the majority of their pieces were composed by Burton Strock, the leader, they also worked hard and mastered the required music for the Corvallis meet in April. The band finished fourth in this contest, being beaten by the Ashland Hi band by one-third of a point for third place. First and second honors were won by the same bands that captured them in 1924, Corvallis and Albany, respectively. Prior to taking this trip the members practiced on several occasions on school time and evenings and Worked bard to obtain a fair working knowledge of the pieces to be played by each contesting band, namely, an overture, a march and a waltz. These were picked by the officials at the college and all competing organizations had to play the same ones so as to give the judges a means of comparing their merits. Twenty-four members of the Medford Hi troupe made the trip north and were entertained at the fraternity houses on the campus during their stay there. Page Ninety-eight 1 ..,-,....T. I9 I THE CRATER n 25 I BURTON STROCK, Director The majority of the players this year were under-classmen, some of them beginners in music, but the student body and everyone who had heard them perform were ex- ceptionally pleased with the type of music, the execution and the general appearance of the band. In addition to the playing at games and rallies, they also made enough money by furnishing music for political rallies, etc., to pay their expenses for the trip north. Enough was realized from these sources to meet the bill for the Crater pictures as well. Burton Strock took charge of the band at the beginning of the school year and Worked hard to get them into shape to play for the athletic contests and for the Cor- vallis trip. With so large a number as were in the organization this year there would naturally be some difflculty in getting the right kind of work out of them. However, by demanding strict attention and concentration on the music to be practiced, Mr. Strock succeeded in getting some line playing from the band. , THE MEMBERS Cornets-Kirkpatrick, Bergman, Bates, Johnson, Powers.

Under the direction of Mrs. Victor Sether, the presentation was put on at the Craterian on May 1, after much hard work and practice. The story is based upon the Hsuddenness of Peggy. It evolves around the plot of Mrs. O'Mara, a widow of the late eminent professor, who made a study of trap-doors and spiders. The mother, rather falls in the loving clutches of the Anthony, instead of Peggy, as was planned, while this young lady is won by the handsome jimmy, much against the will of the Cracken- thorpe family. of which he is a member. Gordon Kershaw, playing the part of Anthony, Lord Crackenthorpe, the trapdoor-spider expert, furnished many laughs for the audience by his droll speech and antics. Dorothy Brown, in the title role of Peggy, won the hearts of the crowd by her splendid acting and winning ways. Major Archie Phipps, brother to Anthony, played by Windsor Gale, was very well played. :His insistent demands that everything was being done for the good of the family were well met and his high-brow ways were true to type. The part of Lady Crackenthorpe, Lord Crackenthorpe's mother, was exceptionally well portrayed by Eleanor Peter. The equally high-brow ways of the character required some splendid acting. Warren Kirkpatrick played as leading man to Dorothy Brown, in the part of jimmy Keppel, brother to Anthony. His distinct speech and ex- cellent personality proved a big factor in making the play a success. Mrs. O'Mara, mother of Peggy and Winner of Anthony's heart, was admirably portrayed by Luetta Johnston. Joyce Maddox, as Millicent Keppel, sister to jimmy, showed fine dra- matic ability and carried her part well. The role of jack Menzies, friend of jimmy's, was another character which was commented very favorably upon. His assistance in further muddling the relations between jimmy and Peggy was his main forte. There were several parts of lesser importance, such as the Honorable Mrs. Colquohoun, played by Eunice Wheeler, and the two butlers, Parker and Lucas, acted by Elton Waldron and jack Herriott respectively, were well received. Page One Hundred One lm l THE CRATER lift 25l DRAMATIC CLUB Organized in the fall, the Dramatic Club this year was under the follow- ing officers: Winsor Gale, president: jack 5Herriott, vice-presidentg Marion Newman, secretary and treasurer, and Mrs. Sether, coach and advisor. The club undertook something entirely different from anything ever tried in the past. The play, The Taming of the Shrew, presented by the professional company of actors, the Moroni Olson Players, was sponsored and put on at the Craterian. The advertising and ticket sale was taken care of by the members, who put much hard work in the endeavor to make the money necessary to put on this play. 'tThursday Nightfl by Christopher Morley, was presented at the High School April 17, under the direction of Mrs. Merrick. The proceeds went to make up the deticit of HThe Taming of the Shrew.

In order to become a member of this club the student must have received an A or A-plus in history, economics or civics. This average must be main- tained throughout the school year. Mr. Sether, the instructor in these subjects, originated the idea. Under his able supervision the H. lil. C. A.'s have grown into one of the livest and most important organizations in school. The primary purpose for the formation of the club is to give the students a chance for concerted study of the community, and for promoting interest in civic aifairs. This object has been admirably carried out, as is evidenced by the securing of the fine speakers during the year and the interest evinced by the members in the talks. The social part of the meetings is another important phase. At each meeting, after the speaker had given the feature of the evening, there were initiations, social talks, refreshments and occa- sionally music. One of the objects of the club is to develop public speaking among the members, This has been done to some extent. At several meetings there were talks given by members, and at na assembly of the high school student body the club put on a program, including speeches regarding patriotism. judge Colvig, lix-Mayor Gaddis. Postmaster Warner. and several other Page One Ilunrlrerl Four L19 I l THE CRATER l l 251 SECOND SEMESTER COMMISSION Mr. Sether Chastain Van Dyke Newcomb Palmer Plymire well known men of the community and state have addressed this group. These speeches have been very much appreciated by the listeners, as they dealt with problems pertaining to our city. state and nation. Many things of hitherto unsuspeeted existence in our government have been brought to the attention of the hearers through these sessions. The credited membership of the club is as follows: Delbert Anderson, Olena Black.

Quite a number of students tried out for places on the class teams and a great deal of interest was manifested by the student body as a whole. The tryouts were held on the question: Resolved, That the manufac- ture, sale or exchange of any substitute for butter containing vegetable fat, should be prohibited by state lawf' Elton Waldron, Howard Spalding and Aubrey Norris were chosen for the Senior team and the juniors who were selected were Emily Brown, joseph Angell and Frank Van Dyke. The Sophomore team was composed of Bertha Porter, Ord Reed and Leland Categ Estill Phipps, Melvin johnson and George Silliman represented the Freshmen. The first inter-class debate was held between the Seniors and juniors on Wednesday, November 26. The juniors upheld the affirmative of the question: 'fResolved, That the pay of county and state officers is not suffi- cient to attract the best persons for candidates. Their arguments were very good but the negative contention of the Seniors carried more weight with the judges because the decision was two to one in favor of the Class of '25. On Friday afternoon, January 9, the Sophomores and Freshmen tangled in the second debate of the series for the inter-class cup. The affirmative Page One Hundred Six I 9 ' 'TH E CRATER 25 CFreshmenj maintained that the state of Oregon should provide for a system of free textbooks for the public schools. They supported their contention with the arguments that wherever free textbooks have been tried they have proved successful, that there would be a great saving in timeg that there would be a great saving in money. The negative fSophomoresj defended their side by giving evidence to show: First, that the free text- book system is wrong in principle, unpsychological and not in the long run conducive to the best interests of society, second, that the financial situation is such that the state of Oregon cannot afford to adopt the free textbook measure without the expense of necessary educational institutions, third, that there is no need nor demand for a change in our present system. The three votes were cast in favor of the negative. Medford iHgh School won second place in the Southern Oregon Debat- ing League as the result of the triangular debates with Ashland and Grants Pass on March 2 and 5. The question considered for debate was: Resolved, That a graduated income tax is a desirable feature of a state system of taxation. The amrmative, Emily Brown and Frank Van Dyke, coached by Mr. Victor Sether, won the first debate with Grants Pass, 3 to O, but lost to Ashland on March 5, 2 to l. Aubrey Norris and Elton Waldron, upholding the negative and coached by Mr. E. M. QI-Iussong, lost to the Ashland affirmative team, 3 to O, and later succumbed to the Cave City orators, 2 to 1. Aubrey Norris is a very easy, forceful and witty speaker. He is to be congratulated upon his ability to think quickly and accurately upon the points at issue. Elton Waldron is a second Demosthenes. He has the peculiar ability to turn opponents' arguments into arguments for the side he is upholding. Emily Brown is undoubtedly one of the best orators in the Southern Oregon Debating League. She is to be complimented upon her poise, sin- cerity and all-around forensic skill. Frank Van Dyke is a good speaker. He used fme arguments and had a very forceful delivery. Mr. E. M. Hussong, because of his years of experience as a debate coach and scholar, is one of the best in the state. Although he did not have a winning team this year his boys did splendidly and would have undeniably been much more successful had they had the other side of the question. Mr. Victor Sether was new at coaching this year. He worked hard, however, and turned out what has been said to be the best affirmative team in Southern Oregon.

Shorthand : Glascoek, Stringer, Stewart, Younger COMMERCIAL CGNTESTANTS Each year there is held a typing and shorthand contest among the schools of jackson county to determine the county championship. The members of the teams went to Ashland to compete for the honors in both typewriting and shorthand. The representatives of Medford High School won iive medals out of the eight which were presented to the winners of lirst and second places in each division. Ashland won two and Central Point one. The cup awarded for typing was taken by Ashland. The average rate of the team of four typists, two beginners and two advanced. was the basis of judging the winner. Ashland made 51 words a minute while Medford's average was 46. However, two of the four awards were won by the Red and Black. In the advanced class, Arthur Laing won first place with a rate of 56. Almus Pruitt placed second in the lirst year students' section with 53, and Arthur Schoeni took third with 50. Ashland made exactly the same number of places as Medford, one first, one second and one third. Medford was easily the victor in the shorthand division. The contestants linished as follows: Advanced Shorthand-Lorraine Gearhardt, first, Central Pointj 99 per cent, Fern Stewart, second, Medford, 97 per cent. Beginning Shorthand-Ruth Stringer, first, Medford, S8 per cent, Nellie Glas- cock, second, Medford, S5 per cent. At the state typing contests held at Corvallis under the auspices of the business school of O. A. C., Medford Hi took second place with a team average of 51 words a minute. Ashland with a rate of 57 words captured the state cup for the second time. Almus Pruitt with 61.7 words with five errors won three medals, the one offered by the Royal Typewriter company to the highest Royal operator, a silver medal for hnishing second in the beginning class, and in addition the highest individual honor of the tournament, the gold medal given to the contestant in either division making the least errors in the test.

Daniel Phelan Organized five years ago. the Agriculture Club has increased in size until now it numbers thirty members. At the Pacific International Stock Show given each year at Portland, the stock judging team, consisting of Harold Sander, Roscoe Roberts and Clifford Smith, took ninth place in competition with twenty-tive others from all parts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. Near the close of the tirst semester the club gave a reception to the newly-formed Agriculture Club at Grants Pass, a program and feed being part of the evening's entertainment. They also formed a basketball team and played several games. which all turned out victories for the Farmers.U The success of the many activities undertaken by the club during the year are largely due to the Work of Professor Thompson. Every one of the four stock judging teams turned out by him have taken high places in the state contests through his excellent coaching and supervision. Page One Hundred Nine I I9 1 THE CRATER 25W TRI-M CLUB Under the leadership of Miss McKeen, the Tri-M Club has had a very successful year, one of the best in its history since the formation of the organization several years ago. The business meetings were devoted to the study of different phases of presonal charm and have proved very beneficial in helping the girl of modest means to obtain the best results with few resources. The Tri-M cabinet entertained the new Freshmen girls at mid-year with a hard times party. A little later the Senior girls were given a farewell tea and plans are being made for a picnic and banquet some time in April or May. The club has adopted an Armenian orphan and give monthly candy and hot dog sales to raise the necessary funds to support the child. These last were well patronized by the student body and enough money realized to clothe and feed the adoptee. Page One Hundred Ten I9 'l THE CRATER V 25 l TEACHERS' TRAINING CLASS T The people of Oregon have begun to realize the importance of good teachers that have been trained for their work. They are demanding higher standards of preparation. The normal training institutions in the state have for a number of years been inadequate. To improve this situation, high schools of the state have added to their curricula the teacher training course. Some of the schools have endeavored to make this a regular normal department similar to that given in the State Normal Schools, while others have allowed it to become a mere makeshift. The Medford Teacher Training Department was organized in 1916 with Miss Winfrey in charge. The classes of 1918 and 1919 were under the guidance of Miss Hood. Those of 1920 and 1921 were trained by Miss Black, Due to conditions resulting from the world war-the opportunities offered in other occupations-those asking for the teachers' training course were few-consequently the classes of 1919, 1920 and 1921 were small. During the last four years Thora Smith has had charge of the department. She, with the splendid co-operation of the teachers in the grade schools in Medford, has constantly striven to raise the standard of work, until now the course is recognized as the strongest teacher training department in the high schools of the state. The members of the class are: Ruth Dewey, Clara Finley, Sylvia Greenleaf, Ruth fHoward, Geneva Hurt, Leila Hooker, Geneva Mandeville, Esther Messenger, Geraldine Redmond, Bertha Skinner, Marjorie Smith, Mamie Timmons, Elton Waldron, Clara Wisely, Nora Wolfe and Margaret Van Scoyoc.

CARL WHITE-End. When Red met up with a flapper it was THE END for the flapper, because she fell for his wonderful, spotless com- plexion. Fish spends his spare time fishing, but he can't seem to get it through his head that to catch anything you must have a hook on the end of your line. Red is also the author of that little song entitled, Why Did I Kiss That Girl. He always likes to refer to the time that he almost landed that big five-pounder over at Marshfield lake. RAYMOND SINGLER-End. Sing played end just because Red White did. He does everything that Red does, because if he doesn't there will be a light between the two. CSh-sh! keep this quiet! Ray wears glasses because he thinks it improves his manly beauty.j HARRY DUNN-Quarterback. Harry is the buckaroo that came down from Washington because he had heard of Medford's fame in feetball. He thought he would come down and display his noise. Prink put him on the first team because of his powerful voice and forceful way of hitting the line going full speed backwards. EDDIE DEM MER-Tackle. This picture may be a slight exaggeration of Eddie's stature, but our artist was up too late the night before and could not think straight. Demmer is not the same build as Fat Neff, who is built from the inside out. On the contrary, he started from somewhere up in the air and grew down until he is now nearing earth. 'HHE MAN next to Demmer failed to supply any information about who he was or what he was good for, so you will have to use your imagination about it.
