Home Sconomics . . . The Heme Economics classes have com- pleted several projects this year under the able instruction of Miss Reed. During the first semester sewing was studied. Many nice dresses and house- coats were made. The Home Economics II class cooked and served hot dishes at the school cafe- teria, which was open for ten weeks dur- ing the cold weather. The menus were well balanced. A small charge was made to help pay for the cost of the food served. The girls also studied the correct setting cf tables and serving of formal dinners. ?Tlanual Ti ammcj In the past year there have been fifty- five boys in the manual training classes instructed by Mr. Lundberg. Of these, twen- ty-five were from the junior high and thirty from the senior high school. During the first nine weeks the advanced shop class worked on mechanical draw- ing, making plans for projects that could be built later in shop class. At the first of the year the Shop I class made a number of music stands, which were given to the music department. Through the year many very commend- able projects have been completed. These include several cedar chests, stands, vari- ous kinds of tables, chairs, and other articles of furniture. 20

7 te Oak . . . Work was begun on this year's Oak about the first of February. Although last year's annual was mimeographed, the staff decided to put out a printed yearbook. The theme selected for the book, and carried out by scenic pictures used on the division sheets, is the new Willamette highway. Many Eugene and local merchants pur- chased advertising space. The book was printed by the Shelton - Turnbull - Fuller Company of Eugene. Photographs were by Bruno Studio, Eugene. The staff chosen for the annual was as follows: Frankie Cecil, editor; William Dugan, assistant editor; Nina Kelsay, busi- ness manager; Wallace Ellefson and Ralph Lyon, sales; Esther Natterlund, Ned Le Gault, Wilfred Kissinger, and Loren Wil- son, advertising; and Betty Posvar, secre- tary. Writeups were by members of the class and student body. Miss Jacobson was the adviser. llte Hi-(breeze . . 'Ts that stencil ready yet? Hurry up, it's time for the paper to be out!” Such queries in the Hi-Breeze room on Friday denote that another edition of our paper will soon be ready for distribution. This is its eleventh consecutive year of publication and the Hi-Breeze still remains the only B League high school paper which is published weekly. The past year has been a most prosper- ous one for the paper. Circulation has in- creased among both the student body and townspeople. Due to the increase in cir- culation the paper has been enlarged and some new equipment was purchased. Frankie Cecil was elected editor and Earl Bleile is assistant editor. 19

ftavib . . . The Oakridge High School Band was started this year with only about one-third of the students able to play any instru- ment at all. However, under the direction of Miss Edythe Farr there was rapid im- provement in the ability of the band mem- bers. Before long they were playing to- gether nicely and by basketball season they were playing for the games and as- semblies. The band took part in the Spring Con- cert given by the glee club in April. Instru- ments in the band consist of nine trumpets, four clarinets, two trombones, four saxo- phones, seven violins, and two drums. Cjlee Club . . . The Glee Club presented a Christmas Carols concert in the high school gym- nasium Sunday, December 17, 1939. Eng- lish, German, French, and American carols were sung. The second big feature of the year was a Spring concert given in April, in which the Junior High chorus carried out a travel iheme A Trip Around the World by sing- ing the songs of many different lands. The latter part of the program was formal, in- cluding popular and classical songs. The club has sung for the student body assembly on several occasions: Thanks- giving, Lincoln's Birthday, and Washing- ton's Birthday. It has also appeared before other groups. As the last activity of the year, the Glee Club sang for Commencement. 21
