Albany High School WHIRLWIND 1934—1935 A Yearbook Published by the Students Printed by Albany High School Printing Department Albany, Linn County, Oregon FOREWORD JN conjunction with the three-hundredth anniversary of American high schools and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the present Albany High School, we, the Annual Staff, have endeavored to give you a history of Albany High School, an explanation of its de- partments, and a sketch of its superintendent. Mr. Putnam’s biography has been given the place of honor on the insert pages because we think he has really earned it. The material for this research work was taken from the former annuals and the school records. We sincerely thank the Rahn-McWhorter Paper Company of Salem, the Weber-McCrea cover specialists o f Los Angeles, and the Peterson-Schon Company, engravers of Port- land, for their aid in producing this annual. DEDICATION V¥TE, the students of Albany High School. dedicate our annual to a man well worthy of our dedication Mr. Rex Putnam! Mr. Putnam, superintendent of the Albany schools, worked his way up from the bottom to the top. We are not only very proud of him, but we are also pleased to call him our friend. We feel honored to have him as our superintendent. Long may he reign over our Albany schools! BEECH { BEECH HALL £JEAR old Beech! How we miss you! Someone else has stepped in to fill your shoes and push the brooms around the halls, cleaning- up that ever-constant dust tracked in by the feet of many high school students. Somehow school doesn’t seem the same since you left us to be taken away by the angels of Heaven. Even though you yourself are not here, still it seems that your spirit yet lingers in our halls and rooms. We shed a tear now and then as we see the janitor go by, because he reminds us of you. We can’t get accustomed to the fact that there is no one to whom we can shout, “Hi Ya, Beech!” All the seniors and juniors worshipped you; and though the sophomores didn’t know you so well, they, too, loved you. Beech, old man, you were the best janitor this school ever had or ever hopes to have. You were a part of this building, and now the school seems about as vacant as a house without furniture. It doesn’t seem right that you should be taken away, but now that you are gone, there is nothing we can do about it. It was the will of God. He must have needed you more than we do. Though we miss you very much, we realize that it must be for the best that you were taken, dear old man! TABLE OF CONTENTS Classes Departments Activities Athletics Feature Mr. Nebergall Mr. Weatherford Mr. Senders Mr. Burkhart Mr. Calavan Our School Board HPHE School Board of Albany High School is composed of five of the most prominent business men in Albany: Mr. J. K. Weatherford. Mr. V. L. Calavan. Mr. L). E. Nebergall, Mr. R. L. Burkhart, and Mr. A. G. Senders. Mr. Weatherford, an attorney in Albany, has been on the board for nearly fifty years; this is an unusual record, and one of which to be proud. Mr. Weatherford served on the Board of Higher Education at Oregon State College for forty-five years, and there is now at that college a building erected in his honor and bearing his name. Mr. Weatherford also has been a Rep- resentative to the Oregon State Legislature. Mr. Calavan has served on the board for twelve years, or six terms. He is the proprietor of the Calavan Drug Company, located on Main street. Mr. Calavan is a former mayor of Albany. Mr. Nebergall, president of the Nebergall Packing Company, has served on the board for four years, or two terms. Mr. Burkhart is now serving his second term, third year. Mr. Burk- hart is a retired dairyman, having formerly been the president of the Oregon Dairy Association. Mr. Senders, a comparatively new member, has been on the board for one year. He is the president of the Senders Seed and Milling Company. This board represents a variety of business interests of the city and because of their varied vocations they are capably transacting the business of the Albany schools.

He also tried his luck at riding, cooking, bell- hopping, and mountain guid- ing. Finally, in 1910, he “eased out” of high school (as some of the seniors this year are doing) at Hot Springs, South Dakota.

Our feet kept time to the beat of our hearts on that early, crisp morning, on September 29, 1831, as General Rich- ards ordered us into our headquarters under the charge of Corporals Morgan, Vandel, and Palmer. We felt very important, for at last we had entered the training school of life at Central in the city of Albany, state of Oregon. We entered as freshman, the lowest rank of the army, and Bud Robertson was made our lieutenant, with Arthur Palmer as our quartermaster-sergeant. While we were obeying strict orders at Central, half a mile away at Madi- son, other young freshmen were tramping to and from duty under orders of Lieutenant Keith Burnett and General McCourt. Even though we were just beginners, we held many honors and made only a few serious mistakes. In the year of 1832 we, the Central and Madison freshmen, w'ere pro- moted to the rank of sophomores and were transferred to headquarters at A.H.S. under the command of Commander-in-chief Putnam, General Hud- son, Corporals Tracy, Lehman, and Spence, and Lieutenant Bud Robertson. Our rank consisted of 175 soldiers, the largest rank ever to be enrolled at A.H.S. This year we were quite wrell represented in the activities of the army. Lieutenant Robertson and Private Ehrlich wron letters in football; also Robertson and Private Frager were on the basketball squad. Many of our privates played in the army band and orchestra. 1933 saw' us promoted to the junior squad under command of Corporals Anderson, Otto, and Miller. Robertson was still our lieutenant. This year Privates James Appelgate, Conn, and Ehrlich, and Lieutenant Robertson won letters in football. Private Frager became yell leader, and Privates Fortmiller, Jane Scott, Shirley Thomas, and Laura Bryant were outstanding in the journalism field. In 1934 we were promoted with happy hearts into the rank of seniors under command of Corporals Chase, Buchanan, and Worley. These four years have been very happy, successful years for us, but now in May, 1935, regretfully we must go out into the field of life in order to make room for the oncoming soldiers who desire to obtain an education. □ c ] □ Ackerman Barnett Blanchard Chandler Cunningham Alderson Bates Bodine Clark Dannals Alford Benedict Botkins Collins L.

(Please turn to page eighty-one) 1- □: ] □ Senior Class Prophecy ()NE DAY last summer as I was bending over the limp form of a middle- aged man, who had been brought into my hospital in New York because of a fall received while working on a skyscraper, I tried to recall when I had seen that face before. But all I could see was one swollen black eye that would be closed for many days, and a square, stubborn chin that needed shaving. For all that, the poor fellow looked familiar. As I was meditating, who should walk in but the former Louise Clark with twelve children tagging behind! She immediately claimed as her husband that poor man. who, she said, was Erv in Ehrlich. She asked me whether he would die. If he were going to expire, she wanted to start immediately to collect his insurance but he lived, and she was obliged to stop the court procedure. On the next day I was called to Springfield. Illinois, on a life or death mission. I packed my emergency kit in a hurry, and caught the first train. Who do you suppose my porter was? It was John Carnegie, all blackened up like Andy. When he recognised me, he begged me not to expose him, for. he said, it was the only job he could get. Next morning I w as much surprised to have my former classmate, Mary Cozad, come into my berth and announce breakfast. I was so glad to meet her again that I forgot about my breakfast, and instead we talked about the happy days that we had spent together in good old A.H.S. in Albany, Oregon. When the whistle blew I left the train and made my w'ay to the address telegraphed to me. Imagine my surprise! Who should open the door, but Louis Dickson. He was now a thin, bent-over man with grey whiskers and “specs” perched on his nose. The good man broke into tears as he begged me to save his cat which had a stomachache. The poor kitty was the only friend he had left in the world. After I had made hiscat comfortable, he told me his sad story. He had never married because no one would have him except his cat w'hich still follow-ed him faithfully. As I was in Springfield, I decided to look about a little before I went back to New York. I w as w alking down a crowded boulevard when I heard a commotion behind me. I turned in time to see a bewhiskered old farmer 20 sitting- astride a donkey, which had decided to take its noon nap, regardless of the traffic. I drew closer and found the farmer to be none other than Ralph Walker. He removed the corn-cob pipe from his mouth and told me how “the missus,” Isabelle Ackerman, and he had “hit the world together.” He described their cozy little nook, about ten miles away, where “Izzy” and the pigs and chickens were waiting for him and their mode of trans- portation, Annabelle. When “Annabelle” awoke from her nap, she and Ralph leisurely wended their way through the city. I entered an old-fashioned store down the street, just from curiosity. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Jane Scott standing on a table before hundreds of envious-eyed people. She was holding aloft shining trinkets, and with her pleasant smile and ready words she was auctioning them off. Alta Haley was handing the articles to Jane. These two pretty girls were spending their spinsterhood days working in their little shop in Springfield. It made me wonder where their school sweethearts were. Since it was time for me to return to New York, I bought a ticket and boarded a train. As I v as speeding through the country, I caught a glimpse of a group of workmen. As they turned to watch the train, I rec- ognized Jack Looney, the foreman. When he noticed that his men were not working, he kicked the mud-smeared biggest one of the bunch. By the cry that followed I knew the victim to be Lenard Robertson. Ah my, what hopes we used to have for him. 'I hank goodness, it was not a prison gang! When I arrived at my hospital in New York, whom should I find waiting there but the smashed-up remains of Don Morris. When the train, of which he was engineer, would not go faster, he had hooked it to a fast- flying airplane overhead. The hospital was the result. I’ve often thought it best that the hard-working teachers at A.H.S. could not see us as we are today, for in the good old days, they used to dream that one of us would be President of the United States! 3, □ C ] □ Senior Class Will j BEING the lawyer for the ’35 graduation class of Albany High School, do witness the following will, drawn up by the respective members of the Senior Class: We, the fully educated and conscientious members of the Senior Class of Albany High School, being in an overwrought state of mind do this day of May 29, 1935, bequeath to our unworthy heirs the following marks of suc- cess.

In 1934 both Madison and Central had a lively freshman class, and with the two classes combined this year there is plenty of pep! The fresh- men Girls’ Group of Central presented the school with a large bust of Abra- ham Lincoln. The class officers for 1934 were: Central—president. Jack Cheesman: vice president, Tom McClellan: secretary-treasurer, Kay Chin: reporter, Bettie Jane Quigley: Madison—president, Ellen Houser; vice pres- ident, Jack Southworth; secretary-treasurer, Paula Hunter; and reporter, Margaret Kizer. This year, much to the surprise of the rest of the school, we put up a hard fight for a sophomore carnival queen. We also took an outstanding part in the carnival and play. The cast gave a dinner in honor of Mr. Otto and Mr. Lehman, advisers for the sophomore “Family Album.” A good number of this class are members of the band. Although only a few are members of the first band, the rest have two more years to go. A few members of this class have taken an active part in dramatics. In the production, “As You Like It, ” a large per cent of the cast were sophomores. Bettie Jane Quigley played the lead of Rosalind, while Barbara Lamb portrayed Celia very well. Others taking part included Willard Mallow, Ruth Brandeberry, Wilmer Lamb, and Doris Murphy. The sophomores also put on a successful program on Washington’s Birthday. The class officers for 1935 are: president,Bill Morgan; vice president, Homer Groening: secretary-treasurer, Ruth Brandeberry; reporter, Kay Chin; and student representative, Doris Murphy. Two of the English classes competed in a contest for the highest aver- age in a series of tests. The losing side gave the winning side a covered dish dinner at the home of Miss Spence. After the dinner the party went to the theater. A sophomore skating party was held during the year, while a picnic was held at the end of the school year. 30 Sophomore Class Bob Anderson Waneta Averhoff Dorothy Baton Mary Jane Baughman Mary A!

The class election resulted in the choice of the following officers: President, Bob Spence: vice president. Jean Dawson; secretary-treasurer, Carolyn Campbell; and adviser, Mr. Palmer. During the first semester the class was divided into four groups with each group responsible for a program. This was a happy break in the reg- ular routine. The Freshmen Girls’ Group chose for their officers: Mabel Forester, president: Ellen Russell, vice-president; Marian Graham, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Morgan, adviser. An outstanding meeting was the candle lighting service at Christmas time, with Mrs. Daniel Freeman as guest speaker. In May this group also sponsored a tea, honoring their mothers. In conjunction with this was a style show by the Domestic Arts classes. Another entertain- ment activity was the delightful banquet prepared by the Home Ec classes for the faculty and manual training classes. The Central freshman skit, “We’re on Our Way,” or “Here Comes Cookie, was a snappy number on the annual high school carnival program, in which a large part of the class took part. Another affair of great interest was open house on May 2, when examples of the year’s work were on dis- play for the inspection of the general public.

Sh?ler Gilchrist Madison Freshmen 'T'HE freshman year of the Class of 1935 is fast drawing to a close. How- ever, being a progressive group, we are looking forward to what the future has in store for us as members of Albany Senior High School. Since we lacked the guiding hand of Miss Kizer, who had supervised so many freshman classes at Madison, we chose Miss Schulze as adviser at the beginning of the term. We elected the following class officers: Merle Long, president; Dorothy Sheler, vice president; Edith Gilchrist, secretary; Kathryn Zimmerman, treasurer: and Janice Hermanson, reporter. Although only a few entertainments have been given by the class, these have been great successes. Something special was a Hallowe’en party given at the gym on Friday afternoon, October 31, with fun for all and good food afterwards-thanks to our cooperating committees. With Christmas “just around the corner’’ plans were made for a Christmas gym party. Won’t we all remember those Christmas gifts? The climax of this entertainment was a play, “A Christmas Carol,’’ given by members of the Eoco Club under the direction of Mrs. McLeod. Madison freshman participated in the carnival this year with a sketch called, “Thirty Years Too Soon.” This involved much work, but also a great deal of fun. Several organizations have been very active. The Eoco Club, under the direction of Mrs. McLeod, whose cheerful help we greatly appreciate, might be called Madison’s honorary society, as all members must have a three average. This club has met twice a month during the year. At these meetings many short plays and skits have been given. The officers chosen to conduct the activities of this club were Clarence Burck, president; Vir- ginia Hooker, vice president; Mildred Aya, secretary and treasurer. Another active club is the Girls’ League, with Miss Jarmon and Miss Pratt as advisers. These meetings were held during noon hour. The officers were Elaine Suessens, president; Vee Ette Vandeventer, vice president; Alice Leichty, secretary; Helen Gilkey, treasurer; Ruth Shelby, reporter; and Marie Gourley, sergeant-at-arms. Thus another class, the largest to enter Madison, consisting of ninety students, is leaving, with everything before it, and not too many regrets behind.

Then he entered the State Normal School at Spearfish, South Da- kota. This may be news to you readers, but Mr. Putnam was a janitor. Honestly! He was head janitor in a girls’ dormitory for two years. At least, this job rewarded him with three meals a day and a cold place to sleep at night. In June, 1913, Mr. Putnam was graduated from Normal School. English □ c ] □ WHfELLO friends! This is your own station E-N-G-L-I-S-H stationed in Room 9 in Albany High School. Let’s take a trip through the English department. We are striving to point out to you the colorful history of this department. As longas anyone can remember, there have always been languages. And, of course, English is one of the main ones. Away back in 1906 and 1907 Mrs. Anna B. Powell and Miss Nellie Foshay began guiding the Albany students in Read and Kellogg’s diagrams and Painter’s “American Litera- ture.” There has always been an English department in Albany High School because, you see, English is one of the most important subjects taught in any high school. In 1909 and 1912 Miss Frances Nelson and Miss Louise Blackwell were teaching. Then the classes were small, and the teachers did not have so much work as is involved in the teaching of English now- adays. It was English, nevertheless. Now shall we skip a few years and arrive at the door of the years 1916 to 1920, when Miss Aurelia Burch taught here in high school? Though most of us can’t remember, still it has been said that Miss Burch was a “dear.” It seems that she was small and dainty and simply adored by all the students. Then came Maud Miller, who taught Latin as well as English. For five years the students majored in literature and let grammar take a so- called “back seat.” But this was one “back seat driver” that noone had to worry about, for this plan of leaving grammar out entirely proved a failure. From 1921 until 1925 such efficient teachers as Miss Gladys Moore and Miss Bina Reeves were here trying to point out the difference between an essay and a composition. Or is there any difference? During the years 1926 and 1927 the High School became so large that it was blessed with three English teachers; one of these is with us still, Miss Fanny D. Chase. During the years 1928 to 1935 Miss Chase has been here in high school constantly, teaching E lglish to the honored seniors. Miss Bra- den and Miss Burris were here from 1928 to 1930, instructing the juniors and sophomores; but they were both married, and now Miss Anderson and Miss Spence teach English to the juniors and sophomores, respectively. Well, folks, it is time for your announcer to sign your station E-N-G- L-I-S-H off. Won’t you tune in again, some time? 37 Journalism TWENTY-SEVEN pupils were enrolled in the first journalism class, which was organized in 1926 with Miss Olive Moore as instructor. The journalism class became a necessity when the printshop was in- stalled in the high school. The senior classes of 1923, ’24. and ’25, by means of plays and operettas, raised the necessary funds for installing the printing equipment. Mr. Grigsby has had the place of mechanical instructor since its installation. Until 1926, the school paper had been printed in a downtown print- shop. The installation of the press gave the journalism students an oppor- tunity to learn the mechanics of printing as well as gathering and writing news. 1934 was the first time the high school annual had been printed in the school. Miss Irene Kendall. Mrs. Berkholz. Miss Charlotte Thayer, Miss Minerva Braden, and Mrs. Penland have instructed this class. In the spring of 1929. under the supervision of Miss Thayer, a chapter of the national Quill and Scroll society for high school journalists was organized, Through the contests sponsored by Quill and Scroll, the club has increased the pro- ficiency of the students who work in the print shop. Dramatics l ARLY in the history of Albany High School, debating, together with pub- J lie speaking, played a prominent part. In 1912. under the direction of Miss Frances Nelson, who was, at the time, head of the English department. Albany High won the state championship. Not until 1915, however, did de- bate and public speaking become an activity for an individual teacher. Miss Willetta Wright was called to teach the first class. From 1916 to 1919 Miss Aurelia Burch, having interested the students in interclass debates, guided the debaters through five successful years of dramatics. Miss Bess Evans held this position in 1920. Miss Marion Elliot came in 1921; the next year the classes were so earnestly aroused in interclass debating that Miss Elliot took charge of the freshmen and sophomores, and Mr. E. A. Hudson coached the juniors and seniors. In 1932 the present teacher, Mrs. Childs, was elect- ed to supervise all work in dramatics. So much zeal and talent were displayed in interclass debating that Miss Elliot organized a Dramat Club in 1922 to further the interest in de- bate work and dramatic production. This club presented plays to raise funds and therewith buy equipment for the stage in the high school audi- torium. In 1925 several members entered a declamatory contest, the win- ners going to Portland to vie for state honors. After 1932, however, the club was not reorganized. In spite of almost overwhelming duties and tasks. Mrs. Childs has trained some wonderful debating teams. Tney have won the championship twice and have become the district winners many times. This successful record is the result of the conscientious and efficient work of Mrs. Childs. 3 □ Spanish ANE of the most recently introduced languages in Albany High School is Spanish. The first class of thirty-five members was organized by Miss Golda Neuman in 1926. Other teachers who have taught Spanish are Miss Grace McDermott, Miss Dorothy Winter, and the present teacher, Mr. Lehman. Miss Neuman organized a department club in 1926. This club continued to function until 1929. In 1931, Mr. Lehman reorganized the club, choosing the word “Pensamientos,” meaning “Thoughts,” as the name of the club. This year the club changed its name to “El Club Espanol.” The names of the officers are Francis Roberts, president; Dick Henderson, vice presi- dent; Virginia Doerfler, secretary-treasurer; Harriet Richards, reporter; and Mr. Lehman, adviser. Latin T ATIN has been taught in the Albany High School from the time high school classes were opened in the old Madison building in 1895. A four- year course in Latin was offered when Albany Hi became a four-year high school in 1906, and it was not until 1920 that the last two years of Latin were dropped. Miss Nellie Foshay taught Latin in 1906. The first Latin teacher in the present high school building was Miss Ruth E. Brown. Miss Maude Miller became head of the Latin department in 1910 and remained in this position until 1920. Miss Ziloha Galloway taught so me of the Latin classes from 1911 to 1914. Freshman Latin was transferred to Central Junior High when it was opened. Our present Latin teacher. Miss Veronica Tracy, taught fresh- man Latin from 1916 to 1918. From 1919 to 1929 (when Latin was dropped from the junior high schools) Miss Armstrong, Miss Ingold. Miss Phoebe Chamberlain. Miss Mary Parounagien, and Miss Olga Jackson taught in Central. When Madison was organized. Miss Blanche Lewis, Miss Helen Lee, Mr. Boyer, and Miss Richie taught there. From 1920 to 1928 the fol- lowing instructors taught at the Senior High School: Miss Vesta Lamb, Miss Mildred Dodds, Miss Frances Farnham, Miss Golda Neuman, and Miss Elva Burris. In 1928 Miss Tracy .took charge of the Latin in the Senior High School and since 1929 has been teaching all of the courses. The first Latin club, the Forum, was organized by Miss Lamb in the fall of 1920. This club was active for several years. In 1926, under the direction of Miss Neuman, the Latin group was divided into two sides, the Romans and the Helvetians. Many were the battles waged by these furious Latin campaigners. Miss Tracy organized a Latin club in 19:33 for the pur- pose of interesting the students in the finer things of Roman life. Economics Jj CONOMICS is the scientific stud of how man makes a living. The first economics class in 1910 was composed of but twelve students. The first teacher was Mr. Marquam, who became principal of Albany High School in 1911. Economics is just a half year subject, taught in the fall semester, at the present time; the average class contains about twenty-five or thirty stu- dents. Some of the former teachers of economics were Mr. Lloyd Marquam, Miss Alice Wilhelm, Mr. W. B. Young, Mr. E. V. Cain, Mr. Ira Tucker, Mr. Wm. Mudra, Mr. Carl Ellingsen, and Mr. Philip Lehman. Since it was difficult to find teachers qualified and willing to teach economics, it was decided that the athletic coaches should teach economics as well as their regular classes in athletics. This custom was followed for so many years that it has been humorously said that part of the athletic course was economics. In fact, many of the sophomores believed that economics was just a course on football rules and plays. Sociology (SOCIOLOGY, the study of the scientific relation of man to his fellow men. has been taught at Albany High School for several years, but the subject is a comparatively new one here. Mr. Philip Lehman, the present instructor, taught the first sociology course in our school. The first class was composed of just twenty-five students, but the present enrollment numbers approxi- mately one hundred students, Though sociology is just a half year subject, taught in the spring term, it will probably continue to progress and grow in the favor of the students from year to year. It has been the custom for the last few years to give all the students taking sociology an opportunity to go to Salem as a group to visit the various state institutions. World History World History has been taught in the high school for only one year. Previous to that time Ancient History was taught for several years at different times. World History was one of the first subjects to be taught at Central and Madison. Miss Pratt has taught world history at Madison ever since the class was started, with the exception of but one year (1929-1930), when Miss Karhuvara held the position. At Central, Mr. Philip Lehman taught the subject for several years before going to the Senior High to teach world history. He is still the teacher of world history in the high school. Others who have taught world history are Miss Galloway, Miss Donna Gill, and Miss Olga Jackson. The present world history class contains but twelve students, but the small attendance is explained by the fact that most of the students had op- portunities of taking the subject in either Central or Madison before it was transferred from there last year. Geography ''JTHE present day classes of geography were first held in the fall of 1924. There was a class of physical geography before this, however, but this course was discontinued after a few years. The first teacher who conducted classes in geography in Albany High School was Miss Frances McMillan. Mr. Buchanan taught this subject for a short time, and then he turned it over to Mr. Edward Umphrey, who later retired. Mr. Henry Otto is now in charge of the geography students. The number enrolled in these classes has increased from thirty to one hundred and twenty-five, which is the pres- ent number for the spring semester. Geography is now a half year subject instead of a full year as it was at first. Citizenship was introduced to the freshman classes of 1934 and 1935. After the course of study for citizenship had been worked out, it was transferred as a required subject to the junior highs. Geography is an elective course for sophomores. 3, □ t : □ American History r response to a questionnaire from the Annual Staff, we submit with pleasure the following letter from one of the first instructors of history in Albany High School, Miss Olive Baltimore, now head of the Mathematics Department of Washington High School. Portland, Oregon. In those early days, when the present teacher of history played under the brown walls of old Central School in Takenah Park block, we were often the bearer of messages to the mysterious upper regions where Miss Baltimore and Miss Foshay, another of our predecessors, marched their legions across the page of history in as masterly a fashion as any conceived by the Roman conquerors. Since that time, several personalities have directed the course of his- torical research in Albany High School, most of them significant personali- ties too Miss Edith Witzel and Miss Carolyn Dunston of our own day, later the Misses Zilpha Galloway, Vera Horner, now head of the History Depart- ment of Corvallis High School, Frances Farnham, Frances McMillan, and Ruth Jelinek. Let me say, from an abundance of youthful memories, that I had very stimulating and delightful instructors in the department, and we are sure their influence must have lived on for the inspiration of American youth. In these passing scenes, we have all been colleagues; we have worked together and contributed our minute findings to the common store, and we have aimed “to light the present scene with the torches of the past.” —Gladys McKnight Dear Miss McKnight: I will hasten to tell you what I know about the history department of my day. Among my Albany books, I found the Course of Study for the Albany Public Schools printed in September, 1906. There were about 225 students in the high school then and three teachers. Miss Ethel Redfield had the Latin, Mrs. Pet Marshall Powell had the English, and I had the history and mathematics. About that time Miss Nelly Foshay was added, and she taught history, too. I resigned in June, 1907, and Frances French went in. Ethel Redfield resigned in June, 1905, I think, and went to the Lewiston, Idaho, High School. In first year history, first term, we studied Botsford's History of Greece with Ivanhoe notebooks. The maps had to be colored and all places of importance located. On the blank pages, notes from the teacher were kept and interesting things found in reference books jotted down. 42 In second term, we studied Botsford's History of Rome with similar notebook work. Oral reports were given and every body took part in discussions. We, of course, kept track of all important current events, especially of such as had bearing on our subjects. Second year, first and second terms, we took Adams’ Mediaeval and Modern History with notebooks and reports. Third year,first and second terms. Coman and Kindall’s History of England. Fourth year,first and second terms, Channing’s Student History of the U. S. and Strong and Schafer’s Government of the American People. Toward the end of the fourth year careful study of the Constitution of Oregon was required. Sincerely yours, Olive Baltimore Civics IVICS has been taught in Albany High School since the school year 1917- A 18. Civics, which is a full year subject, has always been required of all seniors, as is American history of all juniors. The teachers of civics were Mr. W. B. Young, 1914-18, Miss Alice Wil- helm, 1918-19, Miss Myrtle Worley, 1919-20, Miss Vera Horner, 1920-26, and Mr. R. A. Buchanan, who is the present civics instructor. The civics book now in use is “American Government” by Magruder. The aims of civics are: “To impress upon the pupil his responsibility, as a junior citizen, for the development of better government: to show how the state has developed from a single organization for defense to the complex socialized society of the present time: to make it clear that government is a living organism developed by the people to meet the needs resulting from changing conditions; to explain the actual operation of the National, State, and Local governments; to make plain the influence of the judiciary; and to to present the political and social problems of today, such as the expanding constitution, expanding of interstate commerce, expanding police powers, taxation and progress, and disarmament conferences.” The regular civics course is finished four weeks before the seniors are are dismissed. During these four weeks, Mr. Buchanan gives a three weeks’ review of geography, and one week of arithmetic. The study of geography includes a survey of the universe as well as the surface and products of the ea rth. General Science f ENERAL Science has been taught in Albany Junior High Schools since 1915; the first teacher was Mr. Finnerty. General science is more or less preparatory for physics and chemistry, which are subjects listed in the science course. For many years general science was a required subject for all eight or ninth graders, but it has been recently changed to an elective ninth grade subject. The students now have the choice of general science, manual train- ing, domestic arts, or one of several other subjects. This change has lower- ed the size of the present classes to about thirty in each of the two junior highs. Some of the instructors of general science were Mr. Davis, Mr. Ross, Mr. Palmer, Miss Gill, the present teacher who has taught science for the two years at Central, and Miss Pratt, who now teaches at Madison. Their rather limited amount of apparatus is sometime supplemented by pieces from the high school laboratories. Biology TN 1910 Mr. E. A. Hudson was assigned the class of zoology. During that year and several subsequent years, courses of zoology in the fall and of botany in the spring were offered in Albany High School. Classes in this branch of science averaged a membership of twenty. Mr. Leslie Sharp and Miss Edna Converse followed Mr. Hudson as instructors of these sub- jects. The department of biology became a reality in 1925 and offered a full year’s work in biological study. Slowly the equipment has increased and made the work of the depart- ment more interesting and efficient. The specimens have been gathered principally by the students of the classes. The student membership of the department has averaged 125. In addition to eleven compound microscopes and two binoculars, the equipment includes three aquaria at the present time. Mr. Edward Umphrey and Miss Marion Stanford have been the only teachers of biology. Miss Stanford is the teacher at the present time. Room number eleven, with its pictures, specimens, flowers, and gold fish, is a favorite haunt for all high school sophomores. o c ] □ Chemistry and Physics ''pWO of the most popular science subjects in Albany High School are chem- istry and physics. Both of these classes were organized in the begin- ning of the school year of 1890 with Miss Carrot as teacher. When physics was first installed, it was required of every senior to have one year of physics before graduating. There were eighteen students in the chemistry class and twenty-six in the physics class. The following teachers have taught physics in Albany High School: Miss Helen Carrot, Mr. W. B. Young, and Mr. E. A. Hudson, who is our present teacher. In the list of chemistry teachers we find Mr. E. A. Hudson, Mr. Leslie Sharp, Mr. Vernon Williams, Miss Elva Burris, Mr. Edward Umphrey, and our present teacher, Mr. Henry Otto. Both classes have en- larged their equipment greatly since the departments were first established. The physics laboratory now has $5000 worth of equipment. Our high school physics and chemistry courses have furnished the basis for the achievements of many a successful scientific engineer. Algebra and Geometry LGEBRA was first taught in Albany High School to a class of thirteen students in 1895. The instructor was Mr. Hiram Tyree, who taught all the ninth grade subjects. The following year Miss Nettie Whitney organized the first geometry class. The mathematics department was started in 1910 with Lloyd Mar- quam as head of the department. Since 1910, the mathematics department has expanded and now includes in its scope solid geometry, higher algebra, and trigonometry as well as plane geometry and algebra. Plane geometry has increased from a class of eight in 1896 to seventy in 1935, and the attendance of the other subjects has increased accordingly. Those who have taught mathematics at some time in Albany High School are Miss Nettie Whitney, Mr. C. V. Ross, Miss Olive Baltimore, Miss Grace Campbell, Lloyd Marquam, Walter Wood, Hiram Tyree, Miss Wilhelm, Mr. Sidney Miller, Miss Ruth Porter, the present algebra teacher, and Miss Myrtle Worley, the present geometry teacher. Miss Porter and Miss Worlev devote their entire time to mathematics. 45 ] □ Shorthand Class and Shorthand Club t.k first Shorthand class in Albany High School was organized in 1910 with Miss Beatrice Ireland as instructor. There were ten members in the class at that time. The present shorthand classes are nearly three times as large as the first one. The following teachers have taught shorthand in Albany High School: Miss Beatrice Ireland, Miss Mae Lewis, Miss Proper, Miss Chase, Miss Helen Johnston, Miss Irene Kendall, Miss Olive Moore, Mrs. Mabel Berkholz, Miss Charlotte Thayer, and our present teacher. Miss Voyen, who organized our shorthand club on October 19, 1932. Alice Silk was the first president, with Edith Hutton as vice president and Peggy Mulligan as secretary-treasurer. The following are charter members: Norma Buchanan, Lucile Bilyeu, Nadyne Bowman, Edith Chambers, Frances Douglas, Thelma Daniels, Lois Hartsock, Emma Johnston, Katharine Smith. Alice Silk. Lucile Torbet, Frances Truax, Rachel Toby, and Lucile Zeigler. The present officers are Effie Feuerstein, president; Maxine Zim- merman, vice president; Deloris Godwin, secretary-treasurer; and Ida Mc- Neil, reporter. Those students who continue in advanced shorthand gain much practi- cal experience and attain a high degree of proficiency in stenographic work. Typing rT,HE typing department was established in Albany High School in 1910. A Twenty or more students enrolled, and the high school board purchased fifteen typewriters. Room six on the south west side of the building was used for many years, but now the machines have been moved to room seven. Miss Alice Ireland (1910 1912) was the first instructor. Miss Flora Elder taught typing from 1913 to 1914. Miss Mae Lewis was head of the depart- ment from 1914 1919. There have been a number of teachers since then. They are Miss Proper, Miss Fanny Chase, Miss Helen Johnston, Miss Olive Moore, Miss Irene Kendall, Mrs. Mabel Berkholz, Miss Charlotte Thayer, and the present teachers. Miss Claire Voyen and Mrs. Mabel Penland. The number of Remington and Underwood machines has increased from 15 to 33. Several noiseless machines have also been installed. The typing depart- ment seems to be one of the most popular elective courses in the school, for it now has an enrollment of 129. The Commercial Club is the official social organization of the class. 46 □ c □ □ Commercial A MONG the subjects taught in the commercial department are bookkeep- ing, Business English, and business administration. Commercial arith- metic was taught in the junior high schools until 1934, when this subject was dropped from their curriculum. Bookkeeping, introduced in the high school in 1910, was one of the first subjects to be put into the commercial department. The first teacher was Miss Beatrice Ireland. Other teachers have been Mr. G. E. Finnerty, Mr. Jay O’Brien, Mr. Victor Olliver, Miss Cora Uhrhammer. Miss Sarah DeVore, Mrs. Alice Cockerline, Miss Helen Johnston, Mr. Barton DeLoach, and the present teacher, Mr. Miller, who began teaching this class in 1928. In a bookkeeping course the student is made acquainted with business in terms of income and expense, profit and loss. He learns how to adjust his accounts and balance them so that he can actually see whether or nothis business is progressing. As some sort of bookkeeping is required in every line of business, the student should become acquainted with these basic principles. Business English was first taught in Senior High School by Miss Mae Lewis in 1914. She maintained this position until 1919. During the next ten years, Mrs. Bond, Miss Vesta Lamb, Miss Ruth Jelinek, Miss Ronalda Cameron, Miss Helen Johnson, Miss Olive Moore, Miss Irene Kendall, and Mr. Barton DeLoach taught this subject for a period of one or two years each. From 1929 to 1931 Miss Charlotte Thayer instructed the class. In 1932 Miss Clara Vo.ven taught Business English; in 1933, Miss Ruth Porter and Mrs. Mabel Penland. Since 1931 Mr. B. S. Miller has been the instructor. Business administration is one of the newest subjects to be added to the Commercial Department. In the fall of 1934 Mr. Miller organized the first class of eighteen pupils. The course includes the principles of business and information about business dealings that apply not only to those in- volved in commerce, but to all who ever buy goods, rent or sell property, have money to invest or v. ho have jobs to get and keep with big organiza- tions; in fact, it pertains to all economic activities in which we engage. □ z ] □ Open House Friday evening, May 3, Albany High School opened its doors to the general public for the third annual Open House program. The departments displayed the work that the students have been doing throughout the entire year. In rooms eight and nine the junior and senior English classes exhibited their notebooks, essays, maps, and posters. The black boards in the sophomore English classes were covered with limericks written by the English classes. The limericks were printed in colored chalk and cleverly illustrated by Kay Chin. The shorthand projects were distinctive. Most of the work was written in shorthand, which many people tried to read, but with no avail. When they finally gave up,they complained that it was just a “bunch of Chinese.” It was a mystery to some spectators just how a typewriter could make as many intricate designs as were displayed in the typing room. In the biology room someone was dissecting a cat and pumping up its lungs to show their normal appearance. The chemistry classes had a display of their term work. In the same room the citizenship classes had maps of the United States, showing the forests, the population, and the entrance of the states into the Union. Machines of all sorts were working in the physics lab. Mr. Hudson’s students were demonstrating them, and if one were not careful, he might receive a shock! Down in the kitchen was such an appetizing array of delicious foods that it really made one quite hungry. In fact, the small boys felt the same way, for some food was missing before the evening was over. The dining room was set for a tea, with two Home Ec. girls pouring. Up in the sewing room, we found the dresses that were not used in the style show, and the exhibition of the applied arts classes. The business English students had some of their ads out where every- one could see them. We were actually eager to purchase whatever was ad- vertised. The displays of the civics and the economics classes were combined in room 1. Mr. Buchanan’s collection of agates caused much admiration, for they are beautiful stones. The Latin and Spanish projects were put together as usual in Miss Tracy’s class room. The Latin classes had scrapbooks, while the Spanish students had maps and translations. Downstairs, the boys in the shop were demonstrating about every kind of machine in existence, while work on the annual was carried on in the print shop as usual. There was a fine collection of clever and original figures in the geom- etry room. Most of them were colored, and this made them prettier than ever. Two style shows were shown during the evening -one at 8 o’clock and another at 9 o’clock. The orchestra played while the girls modeled dresses they had made during the year. □ £ ] □ Home Economics TN 1913 the Home Economics Department was organized at Albany High School with a class of fifty pupils, their first teacher being Miss Hor- tense Epply. The next instructor was Rae Atherton. In 1916 the depart- ment was divided into two classes: Domestic art under the direction of Miss Winnifred Patterson, and domestic science under the direction of Miss Lillian Thordarson. These teachers divided their time between Senior High School and Central school, which was opened in the fall of 1915. Miss Madeline Rawlings took over the domestic art class in 1918. Not until 1920 was there a special teacher for this department at Central, Miss Dove Mc- Gee. In the same year Miss Leta Meacham took over this department at the high school. When Madison Junior High opened in 1921, the high school teachers, Miss Lillian Ward, art, and Miss Gladys Reynolds, science, again divided their time between these two schools. Until 1925 Miss Reynolds (science) and Miss Jean Grimshaw (art) taught in all three schools. Because of the department’s almost double registration. Miss Mil- dred Forest took up the work at high school; Miss Reynolds at Madison; and Mrs. Neva Anderson at Central. In 1926 Mrs. Anderson was transferred to the high school, and Miss Mildred Hartsock went to Central. Several addi- tional teachers taught in the junior high schools in 1927-28—Madison. Miss Winnifred Horn and Mrs. Ella Gribskov; Central, Miss Hartsock and Miss Stone. In the fall of 1928 Miss Eleanor Scott took over the work at the high school, and the present teachers, Miss Opal Jarmon, and Mrs. Neva Ander- son went to Madison and Central, respectively. Our present teacher, Miss Zelma Parker, became the high school economics instructor in 1931. The first Home Ec. Club was organized in 1915 by Miss Lillian Thor- darson for the purpose of interesting the girls in homemaking. All the girls of the high school were then eligible for membership in this club. In 1926 the Home Economics Club again became active. When Miss Parker came in 1931, she again organized a Home Economics Club. The main ob- jective of this club is service to the school, the community, and the home. Three years ago last October this club became affiliated with the National Home Economics Association. The Home Economics course includes training in clothing, foods and nutrition, and applied arts. Students of Home Economics are expected to complete the laboratory and lecture course and to enter the outside activities which give actual experience in the work learned in the courses. A girl may graduate in a home economics course by taking one year of home ec- onomics each year of her high school course. Plans are being made for a vocational program for another year in both the junior and senior high schools with Smith Hughes set up as the goal. Industrial Arts IN the month of September, 1912, the first Industrial Arts and Mechanical Drawing- class was organized by Principal E. A. Hudson, who was the first teacher. Seven instructors have taught this class since it was organized. Our honorable Mr. E. A. Hudson made the furniture for both the sewing and cooking laboratories in the shop when the latter departments were organ- ized in 1913. The instructors who followed Mr. Hudson were Vernon Williams, Leland A. Mentzer, W. H. Hudson, Robert Keller, Bert Sparks, and the present teacher, Mr. Pimentel. A few years ago the High School instructors taught the junior high shop work. In the fall of 1929, however, a separate department was in- stalled in each of the junior high schools with the present teachers: Mr. Palmer of Central, and Mr. Mickelson of Madison. Mr. Pimentel, who is now- completing his eighth year, has organized the work at Senior High into one class for mechanical drawing, and one class for each of the individual classes—sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The seniors form the basis for class production and spend their entire time in the manufacture of school equipment. In the one hoar allotted to class work each day this class designed and built during the first six weeks of the current spring semester, seventeen folding horses for the new banquet tables; twenty-five cupboard doors; twenty-five folding cots; and thirty band music stands. The shopwork, though built around traditional woodworking, also includes metal working, cement work, draw ing, etc. In addition to the usual hand tools there are the following pow-er tools: planer, joiner, double arbor table saw, 38 board saw, 4 lathes, belt and disc sander, hollow chisel mortiser, shaper, and drill press. About 90 per cent of the boys take some shop work during their four years in high school. Not until this year was a department club organized. A rifle club is under the direction of Mr. Pimentel. Its main objective is to increase the marksmanship and efficiency of the members by target practice. A few years ago boys who w-anted to learn to shoot had to go off “on the quiet” wfith a little group of friends and shoot at such targets as present- ed themselves. The idea of a girl’s learning to shoot was practically un- thinkable. Today any boy or girl under nineteen years of age who will agree to abide by the Sportsman’s Code and the Rules of the National Rifle Association can become a member. There are two divisions in this assoc- iation, the junior and the senior. A fee of $5.00 is required from the club to become affiliated with the National Rifle Association. This latter organ- ization offers certificates and medals as the skill of the member improves. The Albany club is contemplating membership with the National Rifle asso- ciation as soon as the club has been firmly established here. Agriculture rpHE Agriculture Department of Albany High School began its first year A in 1931 under the guidance of Mr. Ralph Morgan. This, by the way, is the sixth chapter which he had organized, and this year he is in Salem, organizing still another Smith-Hughes department. Mr. Clair Wilkes is now supervising the Albany group. In the fmst class in 1931 there were thirty-five pupils; the second and the third years there were from forty to fifty pupils; and this year there is a class of thirty-five. There have so far been two instructors at the head of this department: Mr. Morgan and Mr. Wilkes. The progress of the Smith-Hughes work is marked by the various awards that the boys have earned. At the Pacific International Livestock Exposition in Portland. Oregon, in 1933, the class received first award in Jerseys. In 1934 it received first in beef. In the same year Albany’s judg- ing team won first place. At that time it also won the grand award for livestock judging and became the Pacific International Championship Team. This was won from about eighty-five competitive teams. Members of the team were Robert Groshong, Jack Looney, Gerald Cox, and Raymond Shank, alternate. This victory placed the team’s name on the F.F.A. cup, a revolv- ing prize which must be won three successive years for ownership. The Sectional Parliamentary Contest award was awarded the teams in 1934 at Salem, Oregon. Louis Dickson. Robert Groshong. Jack Looney, Gerald Cox, and Billy Fritch, with Mr. Wilkes as adviser, were members of these teams. All these prizes and banners will be found in the showcase in the lower hall of the high school. 1, □ c ] □ Journalism Workshop A BOUT eighteen or twenty years ago, Mr. E. A. Hudson, principal of z A. H. S., began to dream of having a printing plant in the high school. Certain feature connected with having the school printing done down town were not entirely satisfactory—one being the alibi it furnished some of the prospective Ben Franklins to be on the street instead of assimilating know- ledge in the prescribed manner. Mr. Hudson mentioned his dream to Mr. Grigsby, the present printer attached to the graphic arts department. He, thinking it was chiefly bluff, came right back with one of his own, telling Mr. Hudson that when he was ready to purchase the equipment, he would be glad to advise him as to the high school’s particular needs. Well, time passed on, as it has a habit of doing. The printer’s mem- ory is scarcely as long as he is. This can best be described as height minus; consequently, the thing passed entirely out of his mind until after he sold his printing business down town to Mr. Charles Bear, and purchased ten acres of Benton County garden land, where he hoped to retire to the bliss of solitude where clanking dollars seldom disturb. Then came Mr. Hudson, reminding our would-be agicultrurist of the rash promise he had made in the dim past of “youthful” enthusiasm. Mr. Hudson had been saving all this time, accumulating funds from the left- overs of various activities, until he had about $900. The puzzle was to make that $900 stretch over a space which is now represented by a replacement value of several thousand. Since the price of new material was prohibitive, they turned their attention to used material. During the pursuit of this they made various trips to Portland, Salem, and Silverton. In view of the fact that they were getting all the pleasure, they, of course, paid their own expenses. At Silverton a 12 x 18 old style Gordon job press, an old paper cutter, and a stapling machine were secured. Our good friend, Beech Hall, went up with a truck and brought them home. From the consolidation of the Albany Democrat and Herald there was obtained a great deal of display type and many news cases which dated back to the days of the “uncivil” war. New body type for the paper was pur- chased from Missouri-Kansas Type Foundry, and various items of minor equipment came from the American Type Foundry. After the above purchases were made, the $900 looked pretty well exhausted; so the printer was instructed to get the material in shape to put out a paper in March, 1926. With a crew of raw recruits, not one of whom had ever looked on a type case before, and with the type still in packages to be laid out in the cases, the prospects for a “lot of fun” were rather good. In the meantime, a printer who owned a shop in the Albany Hotel building had gone to his eternal reward (special rewards for printers), and his printing material was offered for sale by the administrator. Mr. Hudson borrowed $800, and the material was secured for about 30 cents on the dollar value. This and a new $300 paper cutter have been paid for with money earned by the shop. Beyond this, the shop has paid the printer an average of $556 per school year during the past nine years. In the last two years, because of the printing of the Annual in the high school, the printshop has added material worth $200. Now, dear children, your historian refuses to divulge the antics and errors of your predecessors, for reasons of his own, chief of which is size. C. M. Grigsby 52 The First Hundred Years Are the Hardest!! WHEN I look back over the past twenty-five years of my connection with the Albany High School, it seems but a very short time. I can almost realize the same sensation of near heart failure that I had when I first stepped into the building in September, 1910. The building was a grand new high school to be used for the first time, and I was to get my first experience as a high school teacher. Naturally there have been many changes both in the courses of study and in the room arrangement. Can you imagine all of the recitation rooms having arm chairs? We had room for practically 300 students at that time. The enrollment increased to such a point that in 1915 the Central Junior High was built to relieve the over-crowded condition. Later the condition became so congested that another building was constructed at Madison. Now we have over 450 in a building that was planned to accommodate about 300. No doubt in the near future, there will be some improvement; either the present building will be remodeled, or a new building must be built. The building at that time was used not only for high school purposes but for grade school work. The Senior English room was a primary room with Miss Rolfe, who is now teaching at Central, as the primary teacher. (Miss Chase says that it still is a primary department!) Many of the departments have been moved from room to room to provide more space and better equipment for their part'cular needs. The new departments which I have helped to install and of which I am very proud are the manual arts department, the band, and the printing depart- ment. There are several things that stand out prominently in my mind. The first is the very good attitude of the students who have attended Albany High School. The friendliness of the students when 1 first arrived here has been evident throughout each and every year. We have hi d many outstand- ing students. Some of our graduates have become noted lawyers, doctors, dentists, ministers, and teachers; in fact, you will find them in almost every walk of life. With very few exceptions, all who have ren ained in the high school until graduation have developed into good citizens. We have had win- ning teams in various activities such as our champion football teams of 1915 and 1916; our champion debate teams of 1912 and 1928; our champion bands; and the 1926 annual, which won first place in the state contest. We have had championship orators, and there have been many students who have won state and national recognition in typing contests, essay contests, and in many other activities. Many of our athletes have made a name for themselves after entering college: The Bigbee boys were outstanding at Oregon and later professionals in baseball. Herman Abraham. Edmond Anderson, and Raymond Archibald were the captains of the OSC fcotball teams. David Mason was captain of the Oregon team. Many noted musicians have first started their musical training while in the Albany schools and continued through Albany High School before starting to college or other places for advanced study. We have had many accomplished scholars. A few who come to mind are Miss Gladys McKnight, Miss Olga Jackson, Hague Callister, Allison Senders, Claire Stewart, Laura Margaret Smith, and Roxie White. Again may I repeat that the thing that comes to my mind first and most frequently is the memory of the friendliness and the genuine sportsman attitude of the students who have attended Albany High School. E. A. Hudson 53 Commercial Club rPHE Commercial Club had its first picture in the annual in 1923. The club’s first active work began in 1924, when it was organized by Miss Helen Johnston and Miss Chase, with Pearl Hoflich as president. The en- rollment consisted of fifty members, and only those who had won typing or shorthand awards were admitted. In 1927 the club was reorganized by Miss Irene Kendall and Mrs. Mabel Penland. The membership varies with the years, but the requirements are now a grade of I, or two consecutive II’s. Only typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping students are eligible. Since this is a dinner club, its membership is always anticipated with enthusiasm. The enrollment has increased from thirty to ninety members during the year. This year’s officers are Virginia Hood, president; Frances Hendryx, vice president; Arlie Odenberg (replaced by Helen Koos), secretary-treas- urer; and Mrs. Mabel Penland, adviser. Mathematics Club 'T'HE Mathematics Club was organized in Albany High School in 1934 un- der the supervision of Miss Porter and Miss Worley. The first officers to be elected were Roger Putnam, president; John Carnegie, vice president; and Roxie White, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of this club is to create and promote an interest in math- ematics. Any student who has taken two years of mathematics and main- tained at least an average grade is eligible for admission. The present officers are Charles Hickman, president; Hobart Thomp- son, vice president; and Marion Wyman, secretary-treasurer. Meetings are held on the last Monday of each month, and at this time a variety of pro- grams are presented. Future Farmers of America rT'HIS is the fourth and most eventful year for the Albany Chapter of Fu- ■ - ture Farmers of America. The officers of this year’s club are Louis Dickson, president; Jack Looney, vice president; Gerald Cox, secretary; Bill Fritch, treasurer; Robert Groshong, reporter; Mr. Claire Wilkes, ad- viser. The history of this department has been reviewed in the activities section. The Albany Chapter has engaged in various state and local contest— in livestock judging and in shop contests. The local students made their most points in the Sectional Contest held at Silverton, Oregon, in March 1935. At the F. F. A. State Convention to be held in Corvallis on May 23 and 24, Albany will take an active part in the contests. So far this year, the Albany Chapter has won four first prize ban- ners, a silver trophy cup, and numerous ribbons. □ c ] □ Home Ec.

Mother and Daughter Banquet | AST year marked the first time that a Mother and Daughter Banquet had ever been held by Albany High School. It was an outstanding success, but so many improvements were made upon it this year that the Girls’ League has decided to make the banquet an annual affair. Hereafter it will probably not be held in the high school, for the building will not easily accommodate all the mothers and daughters. The banquet this year was held on March 8, with an attendance of 300 mothers and daughters. The evening of the banquet was spent in music and speech- es. Betty Childs gave the address of welcome, and Mrs. A. S. Blanchard responded. The mothers and daughters were honored with a speech from Dean Jameson. Dean of Women at Oregon State College. Everyone who heard the talk enjoyed it. The music was furnished by the high school orchestra. The Mother and Daughter Banquet means much co every high school girl. The memory of it will linger long in the minds of those who had the privilege of attending. Girls’ League rI',HE Girls’ League, to which all the girls of high school belong, met last September to elect officers for the year. Those elected were Virginia Barnett, president; Betty Jane Livingston, vice president; Rebecca Walkup, secretary; Betty Jane Quigley, treasurer; Edith Anderson, song leader; Harriet Richards, pianist: and Miss Zelma Parker, adviser. At Christmas time, as a special activity of the Girls’ League, many poor families received food and gifts. The most important event of the year, however, was the Mother and Daughter Banquet, which was given on March 8. 57 Literary Explorers Honor Society Quill and Scroll 5S Literary Explorers’ Club TpHE Literary Explorers’ Club is made up of Senior literature students - ■ who are searchers for the treasures stored in the writings of the great men of the ages. To become a member of this organization, each student must main- tain an average grade of I or II in English, and memorize twenty-five selec- tions from the “Treasure Chest,” a booklet which contains selections from the world’s best known writers. There are forty-four members in the club this year. Miss Stanford, Mrs. Ary Neptune, and Mr. Putnam are honor- ary members. New this year were the pilot wheel paper weights. These wheels have six handles, and each handle must be earned by memorizing a sec- tion in the “Treasure Chest.” Virginia Barnett, LennaCollins, and Cather- ine Smith were the first to earn all six handles for their pilot wheels. The officers for this year are: Viola Zehr, president; Esther Leichty, vice president; Laura Bryant, secretary and treasurer; Dora Jantzen, librarian; and Miss Chase, adviser. Honor Society rF'HE four cardinal principles of the Honor Society are character, scholar- ship, leadership, and service. In order to become a member of this society, the student must possess these four cardinals and be in the upper third of his class scholastically. Officers for the fall semester were Shirley Thomas, president; John Carnegie, vice president; Julianne Fortmiller, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Anderson and Miss Chase, advisers. The spring semester officers are Allan Howells, president; Alice Benight, vice president; Paula Engel, secretary- treasurer; and the same advisers. The chapter has sponsored an assembly, with the aid of the Lebanon chapter, and candy sales to raise the funds for the purchase of caps and gowns which are used in the initiatory service. A program was also put on at Shedd for the entertainment of the pupils. Paula Engel, Julianne Fortmiller, John Carnegie, and Shirley Thomas represented the chapter at the Convention held at Corvallis, April 20, 1935. The Hudson-Penland Chapter of Quill and Scroll QUILL and Scroll is the international honor society for high school journal- ists.

Membership is based on the following requirements: journalistic ability, scholarship, recommendation by the supervisor of journalism, and approval of the national secretary. There are eighteen members of the Hudson-Penland chapter, Quill and Scroll sponsors four international contests a year, and mem- bers from this chapter have often placed in the different divisions. Officers for this year are Jane Scott, president: Willie Frager, vice president; Betty Childs, secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. Penland, adviser. 1 □ c ] □ History of Albany High School TN the fall of 1895 Albany High School was organized under the supervision of Hiram Tyree. Then there were only five subjects being taught higher arithmetic, algebra, general history, geography, and probably English. The first graduating exercise was held in June, 1897. There were only eight graduates, seven girls and one boy. The graduates were Sue Breckinridge, Lillian Brenner, Adaline Bridgeford, Orah Harkness, Stella Hughes, Mary McLeod, Lutie Stenberg, and Carl Rankin. Ten cents admis- sion was charged. In 1902 the school was moved from the Madison building to the Central building at Takenah Park. During these years the teachers were receiving $45 a month, while the principal was receiving $100 a month. In 1903 the eleventh and twelfth grades were added, and this made it a four year high school. The 1906 class did not graduate until 1908. Instead, they stayed to continue their courses. Then there were only two courses from which the students could choose—a Latin course and a science course. School was run on a schedule similar to a college. The students carried five subjects, but did not recite on each one everyday. By the end of four years they had completed twenty credits rather than sixteen that the pupils are now required to earn. The first annual was printed in 1908, and the high school has printed one annually ever since. During the fall of 1910 the high school was again moved. This timeto the building it now occupies. At that time there were only ten teachers and a principal. One of those teachers is our principal now Mr. E. A. Hudson, who taught manual training then. The other teachers were Lloyd Marquam, Frances Nelson, Alice Ireland, Hazel Humphrey, Ruey Brown, Helen Carrot, Beatrice Ireland, and Carolyn Dunstan. The principal was E. P. Bradley. In 1910 the Student Body constitution was adopted. The enrollment, as well as the departments, had increased. By 1911 there were 158 students occupying the building. In 1910 the Boys’ Athletic Association and the Girls’ Glee Club were organized. Then in 1912 the Girls’ Athletic Association originated. When this fact was publicly announced, there was a laugh from the boys and a hearty approval from the girls. Since 1912, the high school has been growing constantly larger and more complete in its courses. No longer is it necessary for the pupils to choose from only two courses. This year there will be 125 seniors graduating, as a contrast to the eight that graduated in 1897. It may be news to some, but still, a number know that Albany is cele- brating three different anniversaries this year. It is the 300th anniversary of high schools in the United States, the 40th anniversary of a high school in Albany, and the 25th birthday of Albany High School in this building. 60 c V ■b s 13 EX Putnam, now a college graduate, bought a round- trip ticket from Spearfish, South Dakota, to Eugene, Ore- gon, but he did not try to use it for the return trip until thir- teen years later—and then it was too late. This was the only time he was successful in trying to fool the railroad company. On June 25, 1913, Mr. Put- nam arrived in Eugene with empty pockets, but an emptier stomach. Here, at Eugene, our superintendent worked for the rest of the summer at teaming and ditch digging be- fore he entered the University of Oregon in the fall. □ [ ] □ Former Annuals of A.H.S. AS THIS annual is a historical number, we have also included this review of all the former annuals which have been edited by Albany High School. It is interesting to note that until the year of 1925, the same person edited both the annual and the school paper. This was really a big assign- ment, and we marvel that any one person could accomplish this work and keep up his school studies at the same time. To give an example of the work which is done on an annual. I shall tell the journey of this review. The idea was conceived, and the work assigned. The material was secured by going through all the annuals pre- served by the school. The results were then typed, checked by the manu- script editor, approved by the English adviser, given to the editor, who wrote this head, and then returned to the English adviser. After she re- checked the paper, a member of the staff retyped it and turned it over to the printing department, where it was set up, letter by letter. As soon as a proof was taken of it, it was again corrected, and another proof was taken. This second proof was sent to the English adviser, who checked and ini- tialed” it and returned it to the print shop. Here the type was again corrected and was ready to be on the press with another sheet which had already gone through the same process. It was then printed, sheet by sheet, as it was fed to the press by hand. These sheets were allowed to dry, and then were folded, and sent to Salem to be bound with the rest of the pages. Here it is now, for your perusal—I thank you.

A LBANY High School is very proud of its debate teams this year. There were ten students who actually touk part in interscholastic debates. They were Dermal Robertson, Ralph Walker, Virginia Barnett, Louis Dick- son, Lenna Collins, Ronald Long, DoraJantzen, Joyce Stellmacher, Law- rence Plagmann, and Betty Childs. This an unusual record, for most schools use just four debaters during the entire series. Mrs. Charles Childs, the debate coach, always gets results. After the interscholastic debates were finished, three of the speakers took part in higher debates. Ralph Walker was the F.F.A. representative in the extemporaneous debate on Agricultural Legislation. Dermal Robertson placed third in the State Extemporaneous Contest, and Betty Childs received fourth place in the State Declamatory Contest. fJPHE lucky members for the Whirlwind paper staff this year are Laura Bryant, editor-in-chief; Earl Fortmiller and John Carnegie, assistant editors; Julianne Fortmiller, business manager; Catherine Smith, subscrip- tion manager; Willie Frager, athletic editor; Jeanette Kelly, feature and humor; Betty Huffman, literary editor; Willa McIntosh, organizations and society; Wayne Wilber, exchange editor;Marion Marks, Central freshman reporter; Janice Herman, Madison freshman reporter; Kay Chin, sophmore reporter; Anne Dooley, junior reporter; Betty Childs, senior reporter; Vena Holst and John Carnegie, proof readers; Alice Benight and Maxine Stenberg, typists; Mrs. Penland, manuscript adviser; and Mr. Grigsby, mechanical adviser and printer. Debate Team Whirlwind Paper Staff □ c ] □ Glee Club 4 T the beginning of the school year the Glee Club was organized by Mr. Loren Luper. The officers elected at the first meeting were president, Merthal Place; vice president, Saylor Dawson; secretary-treasurer, Jack Hall; librarian, La Verne Willard: assistant librarian, Dorothy Nash; pianist, Chloris Alexander; and assistant pianist, Harriet Richards. At Christmas time the Glee Club had a part in the school assembly, and in the same season the club furnished a program for the high school P.T. A. This year the Glee Club was fortunate in having a great deal of talent. The Girls’ Trio Maxine Stenberg, Dorothy Nash, and Edith Anderson — sang not only at the high school, but also at many community programs. April 26 and 27 were the dates for the annual vocal contest at Forest Grove. Entering the contest from Albany was a girls’ quartet composed of Maxine Stenberg, Dorothy Nash, Edith Anderson, and Thelma Dickson. Edith And- erson, Maxine Stenberg, and Thelma Dickson also entered in the solo contests. Band i |FFICERS of the band this year are Kenton Bradley, president: Robert Douglas, vice president; Evelyn Schmidt, secretary-treasurer; Gordon Chandler, manager. The band has devoted its time and energy to accommodate the high school and other organizations in their activities. From the band members Mr. Luper has organized several instrumentals, such as a saxophone sextette, clarinet quartet, trumpet duet, drum and bugle corps, and solos which have been featured at their programs. The band and orchestra gave its annual concert on February 4, in the high school auditorium. This year the band again attended the annual State Band Contest held at Eugene, Oregon, on April 13. It placed in the excellent division. Among the several solos entered in the solo contest, Henry Stewart placed second in the tuba division. After the contest rehearsals, the band spends its time in marching and in practicing for the Portland Rose Festival and the Strawberry Fair at Lebanon. Orchestra A T the beginning of the year, three officers were chosen to lead the A. H.S. orchestra: Chloris Alexander, president; Bud Hockett, vice president; Bill Morgan, sec.-treasurer: Mr. Luper, director. As one of the most valu- able organizations in the school, the orchestra has maintained the same high standard which had been established by the late Professor W. T. Nicholls. During the past year the orchestra has assisted by playing for high school functions and entertainments. Several radio programs have been broadcast over K O A C in Corvallis. This playing furnishes valuable experi- ence which is necessary to build up a better musical background. 65 □ c ] □ Rob Ttson McIntosh Frazee Murphy Robertson Dooley Blanchard Greening Student Council Student Body Offiicers Hi-Y Student Council 'T’HE Student Council consists of the Student Body officers, a representa- A tive from each class, and Mr. Hudson as adviser. The representatives are Doris Murphy, sophomore; Charles Frazee, junior; and Willa McIntosh, senior. The council plans the dates for important events, such as assemblies, band concerts, club initiations, and the carnival. They manage the business of the school and try to keep it running smoothly. This is accomplished by the tie that binds them together -cooperation. The students are permitted to bring any matter, which they wish dis- cussed or acted upon, to the council at any of the regular meetings. The affairs are studied before any action is taken. It is also the duty of the council to select nominees for Student Body officers for the following year. Student Body TUDENT Body officers are chosen from the student body at large, as the name suggests. The officers, as a rule, are either seniors or jun- iors. It is the duty of the president to preside over the meetings, as well as over some of the assemblies. With the consent of the other officers, he may take care of all the business. The vice president assists the president whenever possible, The sec- retary keeps the minutes of all the meetings. She must sign all the student body cards before they are issued. The treasurer keeps the books and takes charge of all the money. One of the greatest accomplishments of the Student Body Association this year was the purchase of the steam table for the kitchen. They also supervised the building of tables for the school. The Student Body officers are Bud Robertson, president; John Dooley, vice president; Doris Blanchard, secretary; and Victor Groening treasurer. Hi-Y Club 1V JANY people believe that the Hi-Y Club is only an athletic organization, but this is not entirely true. While most of the boys are athletes, ad- mission into this group demands average grades and real service in the sopho- more, junior, or senior years. The membership, however, is limited to sev- enteen boys a year. Officers for the current year are Shirley Bates, president; Willie Frager, vice president; Jack Looney, secretary-treasurer; Clarence Manning, custodian-of-the-paddle; and Mr. Lehman, adviser. This year the Hi-Y has participated in several activities. They spon- sored the Father and Son Banquet and served at the Mother and Daughter Banquet. They also varnished the tables, which were newly made this year for use at banquets and teas. Two joint meetings were held with Corvallis one in Albany and one in Corvallis. 67 Carnival 'T'HE name “Ye Klass(ic) Kapers,” was chosen for the 1935 annual high school fun fest, which was held on March the twenty-ninth. For the first time in history, the carnival was held in the Albany Armory. “Loud Sock Day” was held as usual. The students attended school during the day in any outrageous costumes they chose to wear. Prizes were given to the students for the most distinctive costumes. The parade was held in the afternoon as usual, and the first event in the evening was the coronation of lovely Queen Willa the First, who was accompanied by her six attendants. After the coronation the five individual classes gave their shows. A silver cup was presented to the class giving the best twenty-minute show—accord- ing to the vote of the three judges and, of course, the vote of the audience by applause. It was decided with great difficulty that the seniors had the best show, and Mr. Putnam presented the cup to John Carnegie, the class president. This year the carnival was under the supervision of Mrs. Mabel Penlan d and Clarence Manning. Each class had a teacher supervisor and a commit- tee of students for its representatives. Kathryn Riley deserves much credit for the efforts she put forth during the carnival. The receipts of the carnival were $378.89, while the expenses were $145.76. This makes the net profit $233.13,which is to be used for publish- ing the school annual. Band TN 1912 sufficient interest had been created in music to organize a high school band. Our present principal, Mr. E. A. Hudson, was chosen as the first leader of a band consisting of approximately twenty members. Mr. J. F. Low followed Mr. Hudson. The next leader was Mi'. Everett Moses, a prominent band leader, who has traveled all over the United States and is now leading a big band in Palm Beach. In 1918 the band was reorganized by Mr. Hudson, because so many boys has enlisted in service. Mr. Perfect, from the university of Oregon, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Wetmore, and Mr. Nicholls, a former pupil of the great band leader Sousa, followed him. Mr. Nicholls held this position from 1922 until his death in 1933. The present leader, Mr. Luper. who was chosen after the death of Mr. Nicholls, had been a former trombone plaver in good old A. H. S. The Albany band has shown wonderful progress since its organization twenty-three years ago. The first really big event for the band occurred in 1914, when the band played for the caanty fair held at Seio, Oregon. Since then, it has placed first in Class B in the State Contest in 1929. Through the courtesy of the Albany merchants the band was able to compete that same year in the National Band Contest at Denver, Colorado, where it received a bronze tablet. In 1931 it had first place in Class A and won a loving cup. In 1934 it gained the superior class at the State convention. The band is to be commended for its faithfulness and service. IJTON entering the Univers- ity of Oregon, Mr. Putnam found himself laboring ten hours a day at “slinging” hash and washing dishes, while car- rying a full sixteen-hour course at the university, until the end of the first semester. Here Mr. Putnam declared a vaca- tion. For the rest of the year he took a well-needed rest and worked only six hours a day. In the summer he helped build the Southern Pacific rail- road from Noti to Siltcoos Lake by following orders in grading, clearing, and bridge con- struction. Football Games October 5, University High, Here. Albany High School Bulldogs started the season with a thrilling game when they defeated the University High team to the tune of 7 to 6.

November 29, Gresham, Here. In the Thanksgiving Day game, Albany defeated a fighting Gresham Hi football team 13 to 0. The game was a hard fought one. This game ended the high school career of Robertson, Ralph Appel- gate, Ehrlich, Bates, Conn, Burton, Triplett, Botkin, and Eagy. Most of the credit for the successful season goes to Coach “Tuffy” Ellingsen, who gives the athletes under him much more than just football plays. □ c 3 □ Burton Ehrlich Snyder Alexander Manning Robertson R Eagy Sitton Ellin gsen Bates Hurley Morris Misner Schrock J.

On December 13 a meeting was held in the Madison gymnasium with an initiation of sixty-five new members. This year the organization has sponsored two activities: a skating party at Lewisburg and an ice-cream sale in the high school. In the Albany High School annual loud-sock carnival the G. A. A. achieved the honor of winning the first prize for the best float represented in the parade. The officers for the year are as follows: Daisy Ashton, president; Anne Dooley, vice president; Jean Merrill, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Murphy, adviser. r¥''0 be a member of this society, each boy must earn his letter in one of the major sports: football, baseball, basketball, or track. He must also keep up his yearly dues. The members act as school police at athletic events, carnivals, and parades, under the supervision of the president. Before joining the organization, the boys must be initiated by mem- bers who have already gone through the ritual. Initiations this year were held in November and March. The officers are Erwin Ehrlich, president; Harold Conn, vice presi- dent; Eugene Sitton, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Ellingsen, adviser. r¥1HE purpose of this organization is to promote the activities of the high school boys in athletics. To be a member, a boy must be passing in three major subjects and a participant in one of the sports. The present officers are Clarence Manning, president; Mike Patapoff, vice president; Eugene Smith, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Hudson, advis- er. This year’s membership of fifty is larger than it has been for several years. Since this is the first year that the group has not been in the red, we believe that the depression must be over! The new cinder track and improved baseball diamond are due largely to the boosting of these boys. Believe it or not, they also helped make them —to a certain extent! Order of A Boys’ Athletic Association Girls' Athletics A lbany High School girls’ physical education class, under the supervision of Miss Lucille Murphy, began the school activities with volleyball, followed in order by tumbling, basketball, dancing, track, baseball, and speedball. The seniors, the outstanding class team, won the volleyball and the basketball tournaments. Members of the senior class included Catherine Smith, Ida McNeil, Ruth Moore, Geraldine Bodine, Alta Haley, Daisy Ashton, and Julianne Fortmiller. The juniors finished with a close second in both volleyball and basket- ball, with the sophomores making an even closer third. The sophomores had the largest number of girls that turned out, but since they were not so ex- perienced in tricks and quickness as the juniors and seniors, they did not come out so well in the tournaments. They proved to be a plucky class, for they were all good sports. At the beginning of the year, volleyball was taken at Central. After the football season came to an end, the boys needed the Central floor to practice basketball; consequently the girls had to move to Madison to finish their athletics. Although the entire gym class was comparatively small, competition was keen throughout the season. The sophomores, as well as the juniors and seniors, exhibited a keen spirit o f competition. Ellen Houser, sophomore, Anne Dooley, junior, and Daisy Ashton, senior, were always on the job to keep the feeling of rivalry strong. All-star teams in volleyball and basketball were chosen by all the members of the class. A manager was selected for each sport. The man- ager for volleyball was Catherine Smith. Jean Merrill was manager for basketball. Because of the shortage of seniors during baseball season, the juniors came to the rescue. The classes chose captains for their team. The sophomores elected Ellen Houser for captain. Daisy Ashton was the cap- tain for the junior-senior team. Miss Murphy presented emblems to the all-star volleyball team at an assembly. Those who won emblems were Daisy Ashton, Ida McNeil, Ruth Moore, Jean Merrill, Catherine Smith, Eva Houser, Virginia Doerfler, Kath- erine Matson, and Anne Dooley. Members of the all-star basketball team included Daisy Ashton, Ellen Houser, Jean Merrill, forwards; Mary Krumel, Eva Houser, and Anne Dooley, guards. The students also earn awards through the Oregon point system. At the end of each year awards are given for 50 points. 100 points, 150 points, and 200 points. The highest award is a gold pin which is given for 200 points award. Daisy Ashton and Ruth Moore, seniors, were the only girls who earned a gold pin this year. I c S' s i i r—k. ■ -:. |N 1915 Mr. Putnam gradu- ated from the University of Oregon; whereupon he started his career in school work. He has been in the work ever since except for a short “stretch” that he served in Uncle Sam’s Army. He “knocked out” Master’s work i n summer school and received his Master’s degree from the University of Oregon in 1929. Now, you can see that the life of our superin- tendent has not always been a “bowl of cherries,” but, all in all, it has been good and exciting (more or less) to him. □ c Sept. Oct. Nov. Deo.
