We have moved from our home building into a spacious new edifice that is the “last word” in modern equipment. Our program of activities has been absorbing, but we would have been bewildered, had we not been frequently guided by the familiar voice from the microphone in the principal’s office: “May I take this time to make a few announce- ments?” The clock on the classroom wall and the voice floating out of the loud speaker have be- come symbols of our daily life. Every period of the day has emanated from the public ad- dress system; in fact, it has seemed endowed with some magic force that has stirred our imagination. For that reason, we are using the radio broadcasting motif for the framework of our yearbook. The cover, the design at the top of each page, and the arrangement of the inserts represent the theme around which our school record is built. The opportunity of editing an Annual usually comes but once in one’s high school life. We have appreciated this responsibility and have tried to give to our unseen audience a simulated radio broadcast, as it were, of the activities, organizations, classes, and all the other varied interests of the students and the faculty. We hope that as the dial turns forward in future years, the 1937 Whirlwind Annual of Albany Senior High will recall many pleasant memories of the first year in the new building. 'Hie yearbook edited by our predecessors, the staff of 1936, was awarded “First Class Honor Rating.” As a result of that recognition, we are privileged to display on this page the insignia of our membership in the National Scholastic Press Association. ■ LA ADMINISTRATION I A I D E D O N '937 To Our £Jacultij £icjht” Anderson Tracy Porter Lehman Spence Otto Ellingsen Murphy YVe, the Annual Staff, speak! From time immemorial, the Annual has been dedicat- ed to one person each year. This spring we are facing a dilemma. We admit our in- ability to select one teacher from so many outstanding personalities. Neither can we dedicate the book to the whole faculty, since many of them have already been so honored in previous years. We feel justified, there- fore, in throwing precedents to the winds and choosing eight instructors who have proved themselves “Good Samaritans” to all the high school students. We express our gratitude: To Miss Ida Anderson, Miss Veronica Tracy, and Miss Ruth Porter for their con- scientious service in teach- ing us the three “R’s”; With admiration and af- fection, we dedicate our Whirlwind Annual to our “1937 Faculty Eight!” To Mr. Philip Lehman, Miss Wilma Spence, and Mr. Henry Otto for their friendly guidance in our student activities; To Mr. Carl Ellingsen and M iss Lucile Murphy for their successful supervision of physical education. -Mr. Rex Rubiam Superintendent of the Albany Public Schools. Few of us may realize it. but it is through the executive and business ability of our su- perintendent, Mr. Putnam, more than any other one man that we are today enjoying our wonderful new school. Mr. Putnam has spent many hours, when the rest of us were at leisure, planning and suggesting ways and means to bring about the dream we have all had for the new high school. One thing that we appreciate more than any other, perhaps, is his pleasant smile, which he is continually giving us even when he is surrounded with chaos and confusion. One of the most valuable results of Mr. Putnam’s foresight is the splendid public ad- dress and broadcasting system which we have in the high school. —E. A. H. Principal of Albany Senior High School. Mr. Hudson gave valuable service in pre- paring for the construction of our new high school building set-up. His knowledge of construction work and of the needs of a mod- ern educational plant and his interpretation of blueprints were indispensable. He gave freely and unstintingly of his efforts and of his expert training at all times. Mr. Hudson assisted especially in the for- mulation of the preliminary plans for the ar- rangement of the rooms and the special fea- tures in the remodeling part of the construc- tion. He is responsible for a great many of the innovations which are so necessary for ef- ficient instruction. His special training and his long experience were cheerfully available at any time in the solving of many vexing problems. R. P. [8] m Nebergall Senders Burkhart Holmes Caiavan School SBoar ) Mr. A. G. Senders, chairman of the Albany High School Board, attended school ■ in Albany from the first grade. He has seen many changes in the schools here over a period of about fifty years and has always been interested in public affairs. Mr. Senders is a business man, having owned a warehouse and feed store in Albany for many years. Mr. R. L. Burkhart is also a native Albanyite. He is a man much interested in public affairs and is now serving his second three-year term on the Board. Mr. Burk- hart, who lives at the edge of the city in his beautiful Maple Lawn home, is an expert on Jersey cattle. Mr. I). E. Nebergall has served continuously for many years as a School Board member. He has been a resident of Albany for about twenty years and has always been prominent in public affairs. He is the owner and manager of the Nebergall Meat Packing Plant. Mr. V. L. Caiavan, who is also a long-time resident of Albany, has served for over fifteen years «as a member of the Board. He was «at one time the mayor of Albany and J is the owner and operator of a drug store. Mr. G. Glenn Holmes is serving his first year on the Board. He is professor of Economics at Albany College, a prominent member of the American Legion, and a very active leader in civic matters. Mr. Dan H. Brenneman, as Clerk of the Board, has given valuable service in this J capacity. He is an employee of the First National Bank of Portland, Albany Branch. I his shows the personnel of the School Board to be made up of unusually able and successful men of diversified interests. All served during the building program, and each gave freely of his effort and ability, keeping within bounds of reasonable expense and not permitting extravagance. J I he Board members are each elected to serve a term of three years. 1 REX PUTNAM.

Hello! and hello! This is your old eavesdropper, the faithful broadcaster of up-to-the-second lowdown on this, that, and the other. Yowsah, yowsah, vowsah! And now, ladies and gentlemen, may I in- troduce to you the speaker of the minute, who will tell all concerning the A. H. S. grad- uating class of ’37. After a year as the class adviser, this eminent teacher is exception- ally well qualified to act as the ‘disher-out of senior info’. Without further ado, I present—Miss Marion Stanford.” “Thank you, Mr. Eavesdropper. Good evening, friends. Let us begin at the most logical starting point—the beginning. Led by Jack Cheesman at Central and Ellen Houser at Madison, the class got off to a flying start. The impetus provided by this start propelled them to Senior High, where Hill Morgan was chosen as the sophomore pilot. After successfully maneuvering the craft for a year, Hill relinquished his position to Homer Groening for the duration of the junior year. Kenton Bradley has ably ful- filled the office of president during the class’s final year in the academy of secondary learning. “Twelve representatives of the class were admitted to membership in the National Honor Society. Their achievement is regarded as the highest attainment possible to a high school student. “The D. A. R. good fellowship medal, awarded annually to the outstanding senior girl, was presented to Bettie Jane Quigley “The Whirlwind newspaper was edited by two senior students this year. Jimmie Howard was editor-in-chief of the news medium during the first semester, and Bettie Jane Quigley headed the staff for the last half of the school year. Tom Bibb, a member of the senior class, was selected to serve as editor of the Annual this year. “Special honor goes to the class of ’37 by virtue of its being the first class to hold graduating exercises in the new auditorium. “1 deeply regret not being able to describe more individual achievements of this class, though I assure you that those mentioned here have touched only the surface. Now the clock warns me that my time has ended, and I must return the microphone to our mutual friend, the eavesdropper.” “Thanks a million, Miss Stanford. And now. before signing off, I want to remind all the kiddies that Uncle Joshua Long will be back on the air at his usual time tomor- row night with a hair-raising bedtime story.

Senior CProplio-Gycles As I spun along the highway in my new 1950 Schmidt automobile one evening, the exotic trains of a swing-waltz drifted from the radio of the car. On the television panel I could see Dick Blakeley’s famous orchestra as plainly as if it were right beside me and not really hundreds of miles away. The music was part of a radio program sponsored by Leona Olson, creator of Lady Leona Cosmetics. The Lady Leona program also featured radio’s funniest comedian, Joe Kelty, and Carl Hoefer, the yodeling hill-hilly from Chicago. 1 gave the dial a twist and found myself listening to the president of the United States, Jack Checsman. “And now, my friends, may I say that I sincerely believe Senator Dawson and Rep- resentative Sitton did a great justice to the country when they introduced this bill pro- hibiting all taxes. Chief justice of the Supreme Court Willis Cole is especially grateful for the passage of this hill, as it enables him to spend less time settling cases of tax dis- putes and more time in playing poker with the other fourteen justices. Thank you, and good night.” In the course of the next hour I had in succession listened to and beheld on the tele- vision panel Clemence Hubler, the homemaker; the Harmony Heroines, consisting of Jean Bland, Esther Gingrich, Eunice Higbee, Iris McLaren, Gene Ochse, and Marjorie Peeblcr; the great comedy team “Quick and Quack,” otherwise known as Maria Ridders and 1 om McClellan; Lucille Hand, the children’s bedtime story teller; and Morence Bale and Royal Henshaw, movie favorites, in several preview scenes from their latest picture, “Sweethearts Never.” Baby Gaidine, daughter of Nadine and Gail Oglesbee, also starred in the picture. George Kenagy, the successful playwright, was responsible for the clever scenario of the brilliant production which was directed by Lawrence Rawie. Giving the dial another turn, I heard an oddly familiar voice. “Friends, Romans, and countrymen, you are now listening to your up-to-the- minute news commentator, Frank Merrill, who is about to give you the latest informa- tion on events of the hour. “FLASH ! Dr. Willard Southworth, world-famous physician, performed a most successful heart operation today when he married Genevieve Bradshaw, the former gay young fiancee of Boh Russell, eccentric millionaire inventor of the invisible zippers for runs in ladies socks. 1 heir betrothal was announced last evening at a dinner given by America’s most perfect hostess, Mildred Fid wards; they will embark at midnight tonight for a world-wide honeymoon cruise on their chartered battleship owned by the E. Martin Stemebote Kumpiny. Dr. Southworth’s private nurse, Mary Trulove, will ac- company the couple on their voyage. “FLASH ! 'File thirteenth great Giant Airzep of the Lochner and Atmos Feuer- stein Lines was brought down today in a stretch of sandy waste when an arrow from the gigantic sling shot of the hostile tribe of Kenmurphyites on the planet Pluto pierced the carbon bag. Pilots George Venable and Victor Hickman were able to save the lives of their two passengers—FYancis Kddy, star reporter of Don Jeffrey’s Saturday Rip-Snorter, and Barbara Tripp, the ingenious thirty-year-old inventress of striped finger-nail polish for lady convicts— only after the sensible level-headedness of the ship’s pretty hostess, Helen Coates, prompted her to throw out the Gourley Never-Fail Landing Clutch. “FLASH ! An obscure couple from a little mountain town in the Kansas Hills were today brought into nation-wide prominence when the lady in the case, Marjorie Cox, fell in a dead faint upon learning that her shiftless husband, Eldon Bragg, had landed a job at hist—after fifteen years of fruitless searching. She regained consciousness after [22] a quart of McClcary’s Instant Faint Reviving Fluid was poured down her throat, and was happy upon further learning that Eldon’s position was of a permanent nature, as he had been appointed official snovv-shoveler in Alaska. “FLASH ! William Morgan, head of the Conservation G-Man Corps, today added another victory to his fast-growing list of triumphs as a result of hunting down and trapping, in the old abandoned Schrock gold mine, John Wallace, the clever kid- napper of Ardella Falk, who is one of this season’s most popular debutantes. 'Flic ab- ductor was acquitted of the charge against him, however, when kidnapped and kidnap- per filed their intention to wed with Robert Tobey, chief of the R-U-Shure Matrimonial Bureau. “FLASH ! A sit-down strike, unheard of since the year 1937, early today struck the Jenks Jenks Colossal Manufacturing Concern, when workers were refused com- pliance with their request of longer hours and shorter wages. Wilbur Kennell, leader of the revolting employees, declared that he and his fellow mutineers will continue to strike as long as their demands are not met, whereas, the Jenks cousins who manufacture the widely popular sneeze preventive Sneczle Capsules, declared that the doors of the plant will remain closed until such time as the strikers admit defeat. “FLASH ! Something new in the way of bridge playing came to light when it became known that two couples on opposite ends of the earth are having a little game by trans-Atlantic telephone. Boh Lance and his wife, Margene Stewart, living in New- foundland, and Merle Groat and Evelyn Motley Groat, residing in Australia, are on their second rubber at the present time. “FLASH! Frederick Dickhous was today acclaimed the world’s best athlete, when, in competition with a hundred others, he sewed fifty-three buttons on his shirt in twenty-one minutes. “FLASH ! Fire broke out last night on the top story of a penthouse in the city of Albany, Oregon, causing more fright to residents than damage to the dwelling, hire- chief Leonard Pugh received minor burns on his hands and face in his attempt to save Virginia Miller from the leaping flames, before they were quenched by a fire extin- guisher in the hands of June Safley, distinguished authoress and resident in the building. “Y our news commentator signing off until the same time tomorrow night.” “Ding! Dong! Ding! It is now exactly one minute and sixty seconds before eight o’clock. Zodiac Standard Time.” “Time for my favorite program,” I thought, flipping the dial to station S-C-A-T. “This is your own favorite radio announcer. Bob Anderson, bringing to you once again a delightful hour of music, melody, and mirth—Personality Inn! “We have a comely gathering here this evening—Burdette Dunnington, possessor of the finest operatic singing voice on the continent; Marty Edwards and Lucene Thompson, returned explorers from the jungles of Africa; Myrtle Compton, sensation- al tap dancer; Laura Belle Reynolds and Helen Ketterman, glamorous interpreters of the fan, bubble, and balloon dance; Ruth Looney, the one and only woman locomotive engineeress; the world’s A-l magician, Richard Carter, and his pretty aide.

We made our goal, and in the fall of 1935 we entered the high school as sophomores. Again, under the able direction of Bob Spence, Bob Robertson, Florence Horning, Mabel Forster, and Edith Gilchrist, juniors. “The junior class has been well represented this year in the activities of the school. Fourteen juniors are on the Whirlwind paper staff. Our class has provided some of the school’s ablest musicians, as well as some of our outstanding athletes. In honor of Lin- coln’s birthday we sponsored an assembly of miscellaneous numbers. “As a fitting tribute to the outgoing upper classmen, we staged a prom in their be- half. 'Flu's gala event marked the happy termination of a prosperous year. “On the whole, we have been a well-behaved and industrious class and look back upon our junior year with much satisfaction. Our next broadcast will be in 1938. We thank you!” [27] 1. Andersen Banton D. J. Anderson F. Anderson Armatta Bacon Baker Bartcher Barnes Barrett Beamis Burris Brinson Burch Burck Bunon C.

[35] Hunter Civ Pratt Pape Cox Madison freshmen O itoci cUs Station M. J. H. S. Broadcasting from Madison School. As we, the Madison Freshmen, began school on September 21 we felt like a group of pioneers and considered ourselves very fortunate in having such competent teachers to guide us over the trail—a well worn trail to them, but a new, and sometimes difficult, one to us. Early in the term we elected the following officers: Wallace Hunter, president; Leonard Olvis, vice-president; Leatrice Pape, secretary; Edith Cox, treasurer; Ardys Alexander, reporter; Edith Bailey and Jack Prince, yell leaders; and Miss Pratt, ad- viser. Dale Stillwell was appointed chairman of the general committee and Lois Burck chairman of the finance committee. Before many days had passed, we paused for a party, that we might know each other better and enjoy our school life better by working and playing together more efficiently and harmoniously. Various club activities, including the Eoco Club, Glee Club, Girls’ League, Indus- trial Arts Club, and tbe Athletic Club, have made the year even more interesting and helpful. There are nearly one hundred in the class as the final school term draws to a close. We know that it has been a year well spent, and that we have accomplished a great deal toward future success. We feel a glowing sense of pride because of good work well done. Our next broadcast will be from station A. H. S. broadcasting at ’37-’38 kilocycles. Station M. J. H. S. signing off.

The freshman class of 1936-37 is hereby requesting admission to Albany High School. You may depend on us to lift those blue and gold streamers high with all the school loyalty of which an enthusiastic group is capable. As a result of the class election, the following officers were chosen: Douglas Chand- ler, president; Dick McReynolds, vice-president; Lilah McCutchan, secretary-treasurer. The traffic officers have helped at all assemblies and have had charge of all fire drills. We must not forget that they were called upon to help the “Terrible Turk” with his “strong man acts”. The leaders of the traffic officers are George Manning, chief; Rae Cleland, assistant chief; David Gowans, secretary. The officers of the freshman Girls’ Group are Ardys Jenks, president; Genevieve Godwin, vice-president; Lucy Alice McAfee, secretary-treasurer. This group has pre- sented four guest speakers during the year. 'The eighth grade girls were guests at the annual Christmas program and candlelighting service. Another high spot in the Girls’ Group was the reception for mothers, which was held in connection with the clothing classes. At this time a program and a fashion demonstration were featured, proving that Central girls know their needles and pins. Our operetta, “The Toymaker,” under the direction of Miss Ann Moses, was an outstanding musical feature of the year. The boys’ basketball team was quite active during the year. The girls’ team took honors in the junior high school tournament. The letter on Dick McReynolds’ sweater tells of football honor brought to Central freshman. Our class presented the Jingling Brothers Circus in the Central School gymnasium on the evening of April 23. 'The circus parade was led by the circus band in gaily colored uniforms. Following this came Mr. Jingling Brothers, Esq., Uncle Sam and Columbia, the ring master, the animals and whatnots. 'The elephant and giraffe were there, accompanied by a parade of some of the most unusual species of animals in existence, one of which was the great African Hyporonkus. [38] Central Static This is the most remarkably intelligent animal known to modern science. The Jingling Brothers’ Circus claims the possession of the only living Whang Doodle bird in cap- tivity. The modern Samson performed the unbelievable in a strong man act. One of the long-to-be-remembered features of the main show was the Punch and Judy act, pre- sented by a group of freshman girls. The crowd lingered long into the night to sec the wonders of the side shows. Pro- ceeds of the circus were used to defray, in part, the expenses of the freshman page in the annual. And now, Mr. Hudson, we have submitted our credentials. Will you admit us when we knock on the door of the Albany High School next September?

The group has gone on a number of field trips. One excursion consisted of going to Central field and taking moving and still pictures of the football squad in practice. On another field trip the group took a number of pictures of a mountain scene in one of the store windows of Albany. The trip was then continued into North Albany and up Scenic Drive, where landscape pictures were taken. The club meets during the sixth period each day to study and practice the various phases of photography. Some days are given over to printing and enlarging, some to developing, and others to talks by Mr. Palmer or Mr. Buchanan, the advisers. Officers of the club are Jack Cheesman, president; George Phillips, vice-president; Annette Deane, secretary-treasurer. The Library Club is primarily a service club. Its main purpose is to form and this year is the dissolving of fines for overdue books. When a book is held over time, a member of the club notifies the student, but charges him no fine. In this way, the Li- brary Club saves the students money. Clubs similar to the high school library organi- zation have been formed at the other Albany public schools. The election of officers was held shortly after the mid-term. The results were as follows: Bill Kean, president; Dorothy Hayman, vice-president; and Doris Coffelt. secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Childs is the adviser. Being unable to enter the debate tournament at McMinnville because of unfavor- able weather condi'.ions, the local debate team of ’37 was set back several weeks. 1 his was a great disappointment to the members of the team. The schedule this year was not a fixed one, and the team, being free-lance, chal- lenged all comers. As the local debaters claimed no membership in the Willamette Con- ference. they could debate in any style desired. Forum debating was taken up as a result of the free-lance schedule, and several meets of this kind were held. This type of debating is entirely new in high schools, but is proving very popular. Salem was the first opponent met in this style. lature, for which Albany was host this year. This, too, manifested its popularity, and has promise of being a great training for all extemporaneous speakers. Bob Spence is president of the Albany Debate Club this year; Erros Penland, vice- president; and George Phillips, manager. Mrs. Childs conducts the club and instructs the members in their public speaking. carry out an effective library system. The members assist in checking books in the library. This is the second year that the club has functioned.

Seventeen members of the Federation formed an executive cabinet which is known as Seventeen. From this group of girls the officers of the Federation are chosen. Each of these seventeen girls heads a committee into which all the girls of the school are divided. Membership into Seventeen is determined at an election held by the entire Federa- tion. Once each year seven sophomores and three juniors are chosen to take the place of the ten outgoing seniors. One of the most interesting projects is the Big Sister Movement, which aids all the girls in getting acquainted at the beginning of the school year. The joint officers of Seventeen and the Girls’ Federation are Ruth Brandeberry, president; Doris Murphy, vice-president; Mabel Forster, secretary; and Jean Dawson, treasurer. Distinctly an honorary service organization, the Hi-Y Club is continually besieged with work to perform. One of the services of the members is ushering at school func- tions. Perhaps the most enjoyable service is the building of large bonfires for rallies before the football games. At the beginning of each year, the Hi-Y attempts to perform at least one project for each teacher in the school. The club also offers its services freely whenever real need arises. The Hi-Y Club is limited to seventeen members, the membership being divided among ten seniors, five juniors, and two sophomores, each of whom is elected by the vote of the club. Officers for this year are Saylor Dawson, president; Bob Robertson, vice-president; Merle Long, secretary-treasurer; Jimmie Robertson, custodian-of-the-paddle; Mr. Otto, adviser. Ofssoclatec) oTreasurer Although the organization of the Associated Treasurers was formulated late in the school year, it has already contributed much to the business life of Albany High School. The fundamental object of the club is to bring into closer relationship the student association and the treasurers of the high school organizations so that they may work together more systematically. Active membership is composed of the treasurer of each organization, activity, and class in the high school. The Student Body treasurer automatically becomes president of the group, and a secretary is elected from among the members. The faculty member in charge of the student bank is delegated as adviser. The rules and regulations state that every member shall attend meetings unless pre- vented by illness; each member shall keep a complete record of the transactions of his organization, and file a copy at the student bank; and a spirit of cooperation and will- ingness to serve must prevail at all times. Doris Murphy, treasurer of the Student Body, is president of the association ; Maria Ridders, treasurer of Literary Explorers, is secretary; and Miss Voycn, Supervisor of the Student Bank, is the adviser.

The school clock goes around and around! Soon every girl upon entering high school will find herself a member of the Girls’ Federation. The officers elected for the year 1936-37 were Ruth Brandeberry, president; Doris Murphy, vice-president; Mabel Forster, secretary; and Jean Dawson, treasurer. Among those attending the Older Girls’ Conference at Portland, on March 5, 6, and 7, as delegates from the school, were Marjorie Quigley and Jean Dunn, sopho- mores; Virginia Hacklcman and Geraldine Tycer, juniors; and Ellen Houser and Janet Coultard, seniors.

[46] Sttonor Society Albany Hi’s Takenah chapter of the National Honor Society had as its members this year eighteen seniors and six juniors, all of whom excelled in character, scholarship, leadership, and service—the four requirements. The limited few who become members are chosen by faculty and class vote. At the first initiatory service, Mr. Hudson and Mr. Putnam, who aided in intro- ducing the Takenah chapter of the society into Albany High School, were taken in as honorary members. At this ceremony, also, four candidates from Scio attained the coveted honor, for the purpose of creating a chapter of the National Honor Society in Scio High School. An assembly was presented by the members in May, at which time a one-act play and musical numbers were featured. In April a banquet was held with the teachers as invited guests. The annual picnic was held at the end of the year. Officers for the fall semester were Kathryn Matson, president; Tom Bibb, vice- president ; and Bettie Jane Quigley, secretary-treasurer. The officers elected for the spring semester were Mildred Steckley, president; Walter Smith, vice-president; and Harriet Richards, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Anderson, adviser. Stature SJormers o f Ofme) 'tea The 1936-1937 Albany chapter of the Future Farmers of America boasts an in- crease in membership this year from forty-eight to fifty-nine. 1 he Parent and Son Banquet was held in January with one hundred and thirty- five in attendance. A large delegation from Albany was sent to the state convention held in Corvallis the last of April. A judging team composed of Leonard Pugh, Edward Jenks, and Lloyd Gourlev entered the Pacific International Livestock Exposition at Portland. Officers of the local chapter entered the Willamette Valley Parliamentary Contest, which was held at Independence, Oregon. By winning the public speaking elimination contest, Vernon Hoefer was entitled to represent the Albany Chapter in the Willamette Valley Sectional Contest held here in Albany. I he officers of the F. F. A. for this year are: Lawrence Rawie, president; Carl Hoefer, vice-president; Edward Jenks, secretary; Melvin Jenks, treasurer; Gordon Shearer, reporter; and Mr. J. F. Svinth, adviser. Begun as an experiment to find a practical way to introduce to more students the study of public speaking, and to insure a more friendly feeling between the high schools of the county, the High School Legislature was officially organized at Albany Hi on March 10 of this year. Mrs. Childs had had the nucleus of the idea revolving in her mind for some time, and when the plan was adopted at a meeting of the Linn County High School Prin- cipals’ Association, it was decided to meet the second Wednesday of each month at the different high schools. Those schools represented at the first meeting were Sweet Home, Halsey, Harrisburg, Brownville, Tangent, Lebanon, and Albany. Each school is entitled to two senators and a minimum of two representatives. 1 hose schools having more than fifty students are entitled to one additional representa- tive for each additional fifty enrollment. Selection of the senators and representatives started many spirited political campaigns in the different schools.

[48] Gtome Sc Glut) Shortly after the beginning of the school year 1936-37 the Albany Chapter of the American Home Economics Association was organized under the supervision of a new adviser, Miss Schulze, who is succeeding Miss Parker as home economics instructor. The officers for this year are president, Mary Louise Lochner; vice-president, Maria Ridders; secretary, Helen Merrill; treasurer, Helen Coates; reporter, Paula Hunter; historian, Marion Graham; custodian, Geraldine Scott; song leader, Evelyn Me 1 im- monds; and pianist, Florence Horning. Aside from holding regular monthly meetings, the club has been of service in a number of ways. Among the most outstanding were the purchasing of material to make curtains for both of the domestic science labs and the formal initiation on December 2, when twenty-four new members were taken into the club. The club also prepared and served a number of banquets during the past year. Among these were the football ban- quet on December 8, the F. F. A. parent and son banquet on January 20, the F. F. A. dinner on March 5, and the banquet at the Nurses’ Conference in April. On March 20 the club provided the formal initiation service for the District Con- ference at Lebanon. _Matli-S cLence eu The newly organized Science and Math Club was first heard on the air on No- vember 13, 1936. Jack Southworth was elected president; Harold Banton, vice-presi- dent; Edith Stellmacher, secretary; Erros Penland, treasurer; and Miss Porter, Miss Stanford, Miss Worley, and Mr. Otto, advisers. Three sets of film slides were shown, one dealing with the life of Edison and two dealing with biology. After the slides, a dinner was enjoyed. '1'he second meeting of the club, which was to be held in December, was postponed until January. At this meeting the program, consisting of a novel “taste and smell” contest and a question contest, was given by the chemistry department. At the February meeting interesting talks were given by Orris and John Carnegie on mathematics and science to be had in college. This will give a fair idea of the instructive and social gatherings enjoyed by all the members of the Science and Math Club. Station S. M. C. signing off. Quill anD Scroll The year 1936-1937 was a very successful one for the Quill and Scroll, Interna- tional Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Many worthy things were ac- complished, and several new members were initiated to carry on the work next year. One of the best comedy hits ever staged in Albany High School was presented by these journalists on February 25. Under the direction of Mrs. Mabel Penland and Mr. Rex Putnam, “Sis Perkins,” a play in three acts, delighted a large audience. Pro- ceeds from the play will be used to buy statuary to be placed in the new school auditorium. The St. Francis Hotel on March 9 was the scene of the annual Quill and Scroll banquet to which all journalism students and faculty members were invited. This year the society was under the direction of the following officers: Harriet Richards, president; June Safley, vice-president; Mildred Steckley, secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. Penland, adviser.

The enrollment has increased from thirty members to over a hundred this year. Membership varies from year to year, but only typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping students are eligible. To become a member one must attain a grade of I or two consecutive 11’s. Meetings are held once a month and are always preceded by a dinner. At the end of each year the club gives a prize of five dollars to the senior student who has made the most outstanding record and the most progress in commercial subjects. The officers for 1936-37 are Ruth Looney, president; Maria Ridders, vice-presi- dent; Frank Merrill, secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. Penland, adviser. Explorers With the Pilot Wheel as a guide, the Literary Explorers Club launched out on new adventures during the past year. Miss Chase proved herself to be a very able-bodied sea captain as she sailed with a number of the senior class aboard the ship which went to various ports of literary interest. Each spoke on the Pilot Wheel represents a group of quotations which are learned by the members. Besides the students and their adviser, Miss Chase, there were three others who ac- companied them on their trip of exploration—Miss Stanford, Mrs. Neptune, and Mr. Putnam. These three, who are honorary members, added much to the voyage by their presence and their entertainment. The officers aboard the ship of Explorers were Kathryn Matson, president; Eve- lyn McTimmonds, vice-president; Maria Ridders, secretary-treasurer; Doris Murphy, librarian and reporter; and Helen Feuerstein, sergeant-at-arms. Many interesting facts «ere learned at every knot along the voyage, which was completed after a great many ports had been visited and new friendships made. The Latin Club held its first meeting on October 9 to elect officers. The follow- ing officers «rere elected: Alice Leichtv, president; Elva Jane South, vice-president; Joanne Andersen, secretary; Nancy Ward, treasurer; Wilma Kamph, reporter; Miss Tracy, adviser. Later in the year Elva Jane South moved to Corvallis, and Doris Coffelt was elected in her place. Business meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month. The first social meeting, which featured the installation of officers, «'as held in October, «ith the be- ginning Latin class as guests. A program and a social hour were enjoyed. 1 he December meeting consisted of a Christmas tree, the exchanging of presents, and Christmas music. On March 11, as a Roman spring festival, the beginning class was initiated. At this meeting a program and refreshments were enjoyed. The year’s social activities will close « ith a banquet.

Secretariat Glut? A new name appears among the list of organizations this year in Albany High School—the Secretarial Club, which is an outgrowth of the Shorthand Club. All the members feel that the new name is more indicative of the work and aim of the organi- zation. The members are juniors and seniors who have attained a grade of II or better in shorthand and have been able to pass the entrance test designated by the officers. A new constitution has been adopted by the club this year, and an interesting initiatory service written. A club pin has been chosen and is worn with pride by those fortunate enough to belong to the group. The motto adopted by the club is “Better Business Women for a Better Business World.” The club has a two-fold purpose: (1) to develop friendships among students in- terested in shorthand, and (2) to develop some hobby particularly interesting to the in- dividual. Social meetings are held at noons, with dinner meetings once a month. Officers for this year are Rebecca Walkup, president; Mary Trulove, vice-presi- dent; Helen Feuerstein, seretary-treasurer; June Safley, reporter. [52] [K] • e y � BAND Drum Majors: Swank. M. Looney.

Banc) The Albany High School Band is one of the most valuable and useful organizations in the high school. It is under the direction of Mr. Loren Luper and is headed by the following officers: Tom McClellan, president; Eddie Goman, vice-president; Bud Smith, secretary-treasurer; and Donald Jefferys, manager. The band launched a determined drive to procure new uniforms, as its regular ones were insufficient in number and far outdated. In this drive, the band sponsored a concert by the Oregon State Cadet Band on February 9. The new uniforms, which are the best in the state of Oregon, were secured in time for the annual high school band contest at Corvallis. This year’s band has an exceptionally large library. The members participated in the State Contest on April 10, playing the overtures, “Stradella” by Flotow, and “Oberon” by Weber. They placed as excellent in the third division. The Albany Band plans to attend the Rose Festival in Portland and the Straw- berry Fair in Lebanon this summer. Besides this, it will be one of the official hands of the American Legion Convention, to be held in Albany in August of this year. Under the able direction of Mr. Lehman, a group of sixty-two girls have formed a Glee Club. 'This organization meets every day during the sixth period in Mr. I eh- man’s room. Those victorious in the election of officers were as follows: Marian Marks, presi- dent; Jamie Nash, vice-president; Carol Dirrett, secretary-treasurer; Jean Dunn, libra- rian; Dorothy Jeanne Anderson, reporter; and Jamie Nash, musician. “Ask the Professor,” a two-act operetta, was presented by the glee club as the first student production in the new A. H. S. auditorium, on December 11, 1936. The oper- etta dealt with life on a modern college campus. Kathleen Willard and Lloyd Me- Knight held the leading roles Twenty-four girls were sent to Forest Grove to represent Albany in the Interstate High School Music Tournament, which was held April 24 and 25. They offered as their contest piece, “The Market”. Albany was also represented by a girls’ quartette, a soprano soloist, and an alto soloist. Besides directing the glee club as a whole, Mr. Lehman assists with the quartette and the soloists. Station “G. C.” signing off. Orchestra The Albany High School Orchestra, which consists this year of about thirty mem- bers, is one of the best the high school has ever had. Several members play in the Albany Symphony Orchestra, and two of the members are practicing with the Oregon State College Orchestra. The orchestra has played on numerous occasions. Among these are the first as- sembly in the new auditorium, the dedication of the new school, the operetta, “Ask the Professor,” the broadcast over K. (). A. C. on January 13, the county health con- vention on April 3. and the annual senior play, “Big Hearted Herbert.” The officers of the orchestra are Tom Bibb, president; Mildred Aya, vice-presi- 'Lnt; and Don Maddux, secretary-treasurer.

The purpose of the club is to stimulate and encourage interest in the art it repre- sents.

The officers of the club are Mickey McDaniel, president; Jack Southworth, vice- president; Bob Anderson, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Porter, adviser. The club has installed an all-wave radio receiver in the physics lab, and plans for building and installing an amateur radio broadcasting station have been formulated. Membership is open to any and all students who have the desire to learn the neces- sary fundamentals. first time, two editors were appointed, Jimmie Howard serving as editor the first semester of the school year; and Bettie Jane Quigley, the remainder of the year.

Kean Student Council Although no definite date has ever been set for meetings of the Student Council, it has functioned at fairly regular intervals. The Albany Student Council is proud to have on its record the settling of an inter- school difficulty which saved both schools concerned any hard feelings toward the other. Members of the council attended the first annual convention of the Student Lead- er Association of Oregon at Portland on December 29 for the purpose of exchanging ideas relating to school government. Bill Kean, sophomore; Zella Mae Barrett, junior; and Frank Merrill, senior, have ably represented their classes for the past year. Bill Morgan, who is president of the student body, has presided over the meetings. All other student body officers are members of the Student Council. All students become members of the Student Body Association by paying dues at the beginning of the school year. Through the cooperation of every member in attend- ing assemblies and through interest in activities, a great deal has been effected by the association. The electing of our popular carnival queen, Carol Dirrett, and the carnival itself were direct results of the work and contributions of every student body member. Under the auspices of the association, numerous new sixth period activities have been created, participation in which will be necessary for credit to graduate in the future. The president, Bill Morgan, presides at all meetings and officiates at various as- semblies. Additional officers elected for the year are Bob Spence, vice-president; Evelyn McTimmonds, secretary; and Doris Murphy, treasurer. L L L L L L L L L - - I - L I earners7 It has been but four years since the Albany High School Parent-Teachers’ Associa- tion was organized, but it is felt that the group has advanced rapidly toward the objec- tives of student aid and parent education. This year’s interesting and helpful meetings have been well attended by both par- ents and teachers. Able leaders and parents participated in enlightening panel discus- sions. Featured at each meeting were discussions by teachers and students, who ex- plained why their subjects are being taught and what can be gained by studying them. The Student Loan Fund, which was the main project of the P. T. A. this year, aid- ed several students who could not have attended school without its assistance. A cooperative spirit and willingness to accept responsibility characterized the ac- tivities of the officers, teachers, students, and parents. 'The high school P. T. A. has gained a reputation for being always ready to help in every way to form a closer union with homes and schools, parents, teachers, and pupils. The school year 1937 found Albany Hi with a splendid new auditorium in which to hold its annual high school carnival. As a result of the new building it was decided that the carnival should be the biggest and best ever attempted at Albany Hi. Mrs. Penland was chosen manager, as in years previous, and Frank Merrill was Voyen, along with the help of the newly-formed Secretarial Club. 'The date of the carnival, entitled “Fountania,” was set for April 30. In connec- tion with the show were held the regular May day exercises, open house, and the loud- at the evening performance. The evening show consisted of three main acts with class competition and a grand (inale. The sophomores enacted the part representing the Indians, the juniors imper- was crowned in the presence of her attendants and the audience. A clever dance was enacted by the queen’s attendants and their male escorts. At the conclusion of the grand and the concluding performance showed unusual corned)' stunts throughout. The main show closed as the grand linale ended. The audience then adjourned to the gym, where a regular carnival was held. The evening of fun and festivity closed with the carnival in the gym. Much credit must be given to Mr. Palmer for his building of the booths and the throne, and to Mrs. Luper for her able assistance as head director of the stage show. MRS. E. E. FULK. appointed assistant manager. The financial affairs were taken care of, as usual, by Miss sock day parade. Queen Carol I ruled over the exercises and received the regal crown sonated Spaniards, and the seniors Pirates. 'The theme carried out by the three classes was the futile search for the fountain of youth. It wasn’t until the grand finale that the three groups found the fountain of youth in the person of Queen Carol I. Queen Carol finale the American flag was displayed on the stage in a very unique way. The finale G ssembLies Since the new high school auditorium was not yet completed, the first assembly of the year was held at the Granada The- ater on Monday, October 5. The speaker of the assembly was Mr. Frank Douglas, who gave a descriptive talk on the Klon- dike gold rush. To supplement his de- scription, Mr. Douglas displayed types of clothes worn in the Klondike, specimens of gold, gun shields, Indian beadwork, and other interesting articles. “The New Broom,” a four-act comedy, was presented bv the six Hanscom players in the new auditorium on Wednesday, No- vember 5. This was the first program to be given in the new auditorium. The International Four, a quartet of men singers and entertainers from the Northwest Assemblies, Inc., entertained the Albany high school students on Wednesday, December 9. The senior class presented the annual Christmas program before the Albany Hi student body on Wednesday, December 23. The program consisted of a reading by Ruth Brandeberry, numbers by a se- lected girls’ trio, a skit, “Poor Fellow,” and a piano solo by Harriet Richards. On Wednesday, January 6, Mr. and M rs. Owens of the Motion Picture Serv- ice presented several pictures to the stud- ent body, as an advertisement of the Holmes Moving Picture Projector; the main picture depicted hunting in Cali- fornia. Jerry Gilmore, talented musician from Portland, was featured in an assem- bly on this same day. On Tuesday, February 9, Channing Beebe gave a very interesting account of his trip into the Belgian Congo and illus- trated his lecture by pictures taken during his trip. On Friday, February 12, members of the junior class presented a Lincoln Day assembly to the student body. A playlet depicting the events in the life of Lincoln, a reading by Mabel Forster, a talk by T. E. Swan on the life of Lincoln, and mu- sical numbers made up the program. The sophomore class had charge of the Washington Day assembly on Monday, February 22, and had as their speaker Joe Chamberlain, a member of the faculty of Oregon State College. Mr. Chamberlain urged further preparedness of this country to offset any future entanglement in war. Philip Foxwell, the world’s foremost amateur magician, entertained the student body on Tuesday, April 6, with a number of sleight-of-hand tricks and twentieth century illusions. The final program of the year sponsored by the Northwest Assembly Co. came to the high school auditorium on Thursday, May 7, in the personage of the Davies Light Opera Co. Their program consist- ed of popular selections from light-opera such as “Naughty Marietta,” “No, No, Nanette,” “Student Prince,” and “Of Thee I Sing.” The programs presented by the North- west Assembly Co. were made possible by the Albany School Board and the Student Council.

Tycer, Christensen Bulldorj Boosters On the evening of October 15, 1936, a group of eight prominent Albany men met at the home of “Austv” Hall to discuss a booster association. As these eight men— “Austy” Hall, Carl Eilingsen, C. O. Budlong, Loren T. Wooddy, Cecil Burkhart, Russell Reeves, T. C. Bradley, and Charles Evans—assembled in the meeting, little did they realize that this group would develop into an organization of over 300 members. The object of this club is to organize the people of Albany into a body to provide more enthusiasm in helping to develop an ever greater athletic program. 1 he officers elected were Leland Allen, president; Austin Hall, vice-president; and Russell Reeves, secretary-treasurer. The president appointed the following board of directors: C. O. Budlong. Loren T. Wooddy, T. C. Bradley. Henry Otto, and Howard Rich. Through the cooperation of the Albany business men, the Bulldog Booster Club has succeeded in raising over $1,200 for the turfing of Central field. This is one of the largest tasks ever taken up by a local organization, and includes not only the turfing of the field, but the erecting of another grandstand for baseball. Great credit should be given to Mr. C. O. Budlong, who formulated the idea of turfing the field and has super- vised the work on the field. He has been ably assisted by Bill Vollstedt, Loren Wooddy, “Austy” Hall, Charles Evans, Howard Rich, and T. C. Bradley. This club has provided a trainer for the football team. Merle Christensen, who was responsible for keeping the team in condition. Mr. Henderson was given the position of assistant track coach. Other projects undertaken by this club include the first homecoming day of Albany High School, with the 1916 championship football team and its coach, Ray Hudson; the caravan of cars to the game at Corvallis on Homecoming Day; and the big home- coming rally and dance. To the Bulldog Booster Club go Albany High School’s sincere appreciation and admiration. No task is too big for them—they undertake the large and the small and finish both with flying colors. They not only have succeeded in putting football on a higher paying basis, but they have put pep into our athletic activities. We, the members of Albany High School, wish to express our appreciation for what the boosters have done and hope that they will continue to keep up the good work. [64] Stratton Warner Hogevall H.ah! C Rak! Hah! True representatives of pep and clean sportsmanship, Albany High’s three student yell leaders have this year proved their capabilities for the position they hold. I'he 36-37 squad has consisted of Bonita Hogevall, Henrietta Stratton, and Blair Warner. At all football and basketball games, rallies, pep assemblies, etc., these three transformed school spirit into enthusiastic yells. The girls, being sophomores this year, have had no previous experience as yell lead- ers, while Blair has served for one year before this. ; I he Boys’ Athletic Association is composed of high school boys who are interested in athletics. The purpose of forming this organization was to provide for the creation of better high school athletic teams. It has been a rule of the high school that a boy, in order to take part in athletics, must be a member of this association. Headed by Mr. Hudson and Coach Ellingsen, the B. A. A. has taken charge of all athletic funds, including ticket sales, and the buying of equipment. Although the B. A. A. was not organized this year, it will continue as one of the most active clubs in the school in the future. The officers elected for the coming year are Junior Hamm, president; Henry Mor- rison, vice-president; Jack Patapoff, secretary; Merle Long, treasurer; Lloyd Patapoff, sergeant-at-arms; and Mr. Hudson, adviser.

Bradshaw [68] Order of Of “Calling all lettermen—calling all leftermen.” Each year the Order of A issues a similar call to every boy who has earned his letter in the major sports: football base- ball, basketball, and track. The spring of 1936 saw the election of officers of this organization. Raymond “Pappy” Schrock was elected president, but later resigned to mine gold in the hills of Eastern Oregon, and Joe “Ace” Kelty replaced “Pappy” as president. Rex Putnam was elected vice-president. Each year the Order of A boys stage an initiation that is hard to forget because of the painful complications; however, their management of school parades, rallies, and other activities tend to place them in high esteem among the students. On “Loud Sock Day,” the members dress as a unit and are very noticeable in their nightgowns or “red flannels.” Members initiated this year were Eddie Gipson, Junior Hamm, Fred Anderson, Mervin Stenbcrg, Merle Long, LeRoy Schrock. Gail Oglesbee, Ed Lindley, Leland Dragoo, Dick McReynolds, Royal Henshaw, Frank Merrill, Marty Edwards, and LeRoy Warner. Coach “Tuffy” Ellingsen is adviser of the club. Oommitiee The Rally Committee is another of the new organizations that have been broad- casting over the A. H. S. network since early in the school year of ’36-’37. This club was organized by its members, with the aid of Mr. Hudson, as a result of our increasing need of a pep organization. It is composed of ten members; namely, Blair Warner, president; Paula Hunter, vice-president; Eldon Bragg, secretary; Bettie Jane Quigley, treasurer; Geraldine Tycer, Alvin Oberson, Alice Merrill, Clarence Burck, Margaret Kizer, Bob Warren, and Mr. E. A. Hudson, adviser. The main purpose of the club is to secure a one hundred per cent attendance of the student body at all athletic contests. The club has succeeded in boosting the ticket sales and attendance of our football and basketball games. The Rally Committee was formed to aid in producing a better program of rallies, pep meetings, and general school activities. Cjirls7 Off Lie tic OfssocLation Membership in the Girls’ Athletic Association has been greatly increased this year because of compulsory physical education. The annual initiation held in March made the total number of members about fifty. The cluh held there swimming parties in the women’s gym at Oregon State Col- lege during the year. It also sponsored a skating party and a Christmas party. Girls’ lctterman sweaters were adopted by the association for the first time in the history of the school. The girls who were eligible for these sweaters are Ellen Houser, Paula Hunter, Margaret Kizer, Myrtle Compton. Genevieve Bradshaw, Arlene Wat- son, and Ellen Russell. The club chose the following officers to supervise its activities: Paula Hunter, presi- dent; Ellen Russell, vice-president; Eleanor Koos, secretary-treasurer; Marjorie Quig- ley, reporter ; and Miss Murphy, adviser.

Girls gym classes have been held on Monday and Wednesday of each week through- out the year. Dividing each period class into squads facilitates the taking of roll and the carrying out of class activities. A student is assigned to each squad to act as captain, and all the leaders are under Miss Murphy’s supervision. I he twenty-two girls chosen as squad leaders are Eleanor Koos, Arlene Watson, Myrtle Compton, Ellen Houser, Genevieve Bradshaw. Evelyn McTimmonds, Ruth Brandeberry, and Paula Hunter, seniors; Arlene Ehrlich, Janice Hermansen, Harriet Kampfcr, Marion Marks, Carolyn Grenz, Ellen Russell, Doris Coffelt, Erros Penland, Shirley Speer, and Geraldine I veer, juniors; Alice Merrill, Barbara Ackerman, Hen- rietta Stratton, and Edith Stellmacher, sophomores. A number of activities have been taken up by the regular division in the course of the year. These activities include volley-ball, tumbling, basketball, track, baseball, tennis, archery, golf, and tap dancing. Inter-squad and inter-class games in each sport have been featured during the year. I he good sportsmanship prevalent in these contests has added a great deal to the enjoy- ment of the activities. Physical Education 'Ehis year marks the first year in the history of Albany High School that boys’ gym classes were made compulsory. These classes were made possible only through the com- pletion of the new gymnasium. Soon after school started in the fall, gym work was begun. Boys’ classes are held every period of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Because of the lack of facilities at first, volleyball was the only game that could be played in the gym. Each class was divided into squads and a tournament was held. The winners of the respective classes played for the volleyball championship of the school. During the illness of Coach Ellingsen, Mr. Howard Smith of Oregon State College took charge of the gym work. He specialized in setting-up exercises and mat and bar work. Basketball was played most of the time during the winter months. The spring pro- gram included baseball, archery, golf, track, tennis, boxing, and wrestling. The first year of compulsory physical education has proved to be successful, and every student in the school physically able will be required to have gym work before he may graduate.

Fred Braly emonam For twenty-six years you served us faithfully; your short span of life was ever de- voted to the students. Though you have left us now. and yielded your place to a more handsome and aggressive newcomer, you are not forgotten, and the memory of the build- ing which housed the high school for so many years will always s ir a tender feeling in our hearts. Perhaps, from that happy hunting ground to which weary buildings wend their way when their earthly usefulness is done, your spirit watches ungrudgingly as your suc- cessor becomes more firmly enmeshed in our affections. We have no way of knowing. Hut, in view of the fact that you dedicated all your days to the students, it seems only fitting and proper that this section of the book should be dedicated to your memory. J. V. S. Oftzc) 3iow TJou Ckcmcjei) GRANDPA —THE SPRING CHICKEN TRY ONE OF OUR FACIALS Take twenty years off your age LUDWIG’S FRECKLE CREAM Banish those freckles forever Use IRONIZED TABLETS Gain from 20 to 30 pounds weekly Old Grandpa A. H. S. must have had pretty good eyes despite his age, for he evi- dently read the advertisements. And what’s more, he decided to try some of the remedies prescribed by them. As a result, his outward physical appearance took on a more youth- ful aspect with the addition of more flesh and the ostracization of all imperfections. Who knew that those wrinkles could be smoothed, those blemishes corrected, only Grandpa? Oh, no. All those doctors and nurses under whose care he lay while being treated were never once discouraged that Grandpa’s ailments couldn’t be cured. He shaved off his whiskers while undergoing treatment; which is to say, the lawn became devoid of grass and flowers. He will undoubtedly let them grow again because they add greatly to his appearance. As soon as Grandpa began taking the medicine, it gave him a better grip on things, and he began to fill out. so that he could hardly be called “Grandpa” any longer. Under the maneuvers of his doctors’ hammers, saws, chisels, squares, planes, and drawing knives, his backbone was made to straighten, and his ribs of cement grew up to form the basic structure of his anatomy. His skin took on a healthy color of tan and rust. His sense organs, the doors, provided ways for things of the outside world to enter his body. Grandpa has no more use for canes or spectacles. He has grown almost as young as his grandchildren, and his advice to them is, “When you get old, just visit the drug stores, the hospitals, and the beauty shops for a complete overhauling.” [76] GATES AJAR Let us make a trip through the building and see what changes have been wrought in our alma mater since last year. The first things that greet us as we enter arc the smart rubber doormats on the floor. Coming into the main hall, we notice that it would not require an undue effort to let our feet slip on the brown linoleum floor-covering which we find there. In the center of the hall we see a great skylight which extends from the roof of the building to the basement floor. It provides light for the halls and for the rest rooms located on all three floors. As we ascend the stairs to the second floor, it is called to our attention that these steps, as well as the ones leading to the basement, are covered with a sheet of metal painted to match the woodwork. In each room we visit, we observe on the wall an electric clock. The clocks are con- nected with the automatic bell switch, and this makes it possible for the class bells to ring regularly when the hands of the clock point to the hour. Having been in all the rooms, we can now say that the walls in each one arc of cream-colored plaster where they are not taken up by the slate blackboards. The ceilings are entirely different from those of last year. They arc constructed of a soft, imitation wood made by crushing and compressing cornstalks. This board is sound absorbing and is invaluable for this effect. The floors in most of the rooms we found to be varnished, but some were covered with the same type of linoleum as the halls. A few rooms in the basement had no floor- covering whatever, but boasted of the plain concrete floors. We marveled at the great number of windows in the building, but perhaps all these are necessary to let in the light, or, as the South Americans would say, “to let the dark out.” The windows all have white opaque shades which allow enough light to enter, but keep out the glare of the sun. Our first sight of the new classroom desks drew an exclamation from us. They can be called chairs in every sense of the word. A wide board bracketed onto the chair provides space on which the ambitious student may work, or one which the lazy student may lean on his elbows. A shelf beneath the seat of the chair provides space for books to be kept. A new expression beams on our faces as we leave the building, for we, too, have caught the grand old feeling “all’s well with the world.” MATILDA LEARNS ALL M iss Wise, this is my cousin Matilda from Kentucky. I hope you won’t mind my having her in class today. She’ll probably think our modern fixtures are funny and our methods queer and all that, but she won’t say anything. I’m showing her around the new building. It’s quite different, you know, from the little red schoolhouse in the hills that Matilda’s used to. [77] ROOM PICTURES Biology Laboratory Chemistry Laboratory F. F. A. Class Room Physics Laboratory Boiler Room Typing Room [78] - lK- Just look at her expression of amazement. Isn’t she a striking figure though— gingham, freckles, pigtails and all? Oh, you can look at her all you please, Miss Wise. She’ll be so busy staring at you that she’ll never notice she’s being stared at herself. Here, Matilda, just sit down in this empty chair next to me. You’ll have to look around for yourself now for a bit, ’cause I simply must get my English lesson. “May I have your attention for an announcement, please?” Gracious, Matilda, you mustn’t jump up like that—as if you were being shot. That wasn’t anything—I mean—well, that was the principal talking to us over the speaking system. See that thing up there on the wall, Matilda? Well, that’s an amplifier; that’s where the principal’s voice entered this room. Y ou see, there’s one of them in every room—an amplifier I mean—and they are all connected with the principal’s office. In there he has a microphone into which he speaks, and his voice is carried to the different rooms. It’s very handy when making announcements or calling persons to the office. If he wishes, the principal may make connections with only one room, or a group of rooms, or the entire school. Simple, isn’t it? And now, please excuse me, Matilda, for I really must get at my English. Oh, Matilda, please, please sit down, won’t you? Whew! You certainly had me scared for a moment. From the way you looked, I thought dead sure you were going to do a barn dance. Yes, I know. I hear “Turkey in the Straw” too, but you see that’s only a phonograph record in the principal’s office being played over the address system. It’s not a real hill-billy orchestra come to town. There now, Matilda, you just amuse yourself quietly while I take a look at my English. Matilda! Y’ ou needn’t get so excited. And sit down again, please! Yes, yes. That’s swing music you’re hearing now. What’s that? Well-er-you see, I’m just afraid you wouldn’t understand the explanation of it, Matilda. It’s coming over the radio in the principal’s office. Certainly, my dear cousin, we have a radio. Whenever there is a program in which we are all interested, we have the privilege to stop studying and listen to it. What ? es, we have, Matilda. One day we listened to ex-King Edward when he abdicated the throne of Britain, and we heard President Roosevelt’s message to Congress. What? Yes, of course. By pressing that button there on the wall, we can get music any time we want it. And does it soothe our tired nerves, over- worked from too much English! Now, Alatilda, please excuse—Gracious, there goes the bell. And I haven’t my English done. Oh. well—come on, Matilda. WHAT AN AUDITORIUM! I stood just behind a tall, broad-shouldered man in a heavy, tweed topcoat. I knew he was a stranger when I perceived that he was watching the onrush of Albany citizens push past him toward the ticket window and making no effort to reach there himself. Finally, as if he had got his bearings, he made his way through the crowd to the window. I followed him. I noticed the interested way in which he took in every detail of the ticket seller’s cozy booth. Having received his change, he followed the crowd inside and disappeared. [79] ROOM PICTURES Official Dedication Auditorium Home Economics Bookkeeping The Library Junior English [80] r ■j. When an usher showed me to a seat. I was surprised and yet pleased. The man next to me was the stranger. Sensing that 1 was a resident of the locality, he turned to me and said: “You have a very beautiful building here, I must say. I was just admiring the ceiling. Are all those designs really hand painted?” “Every bit,” I answered. “And did you notice the clever lights? They’re regular theater lights. In fact, this auditorium can be used as a theater. We have a projecting room up there in the back of the balcony. Just put up a screen and there you are.” “And aren’t the walls especially nice?” he added. “Those mock windows with the velour draperies are just the thing. The stage curtains are of velour too, aren’t they? And those draperies on the doorways at either side of the stage? By the way, I suppose those doors lead back stage?” “Yes, and they also lead to exits as you can see by the signs above them,” I went on. “And, too, they lead to the dressing rooms and lavatories beneath the stage. The one on the right for women and the one on the left for men.” Suddenly music burst forth, and the stranger looked to the stage to see if the cur- tains had been opened. He was disappointed. He leaned over to me. “Where are they—the musicians?” he whispered. “In the orchestra pit below the stage,” I replied. 'I he stranger all but stood up in viewing every detail of the stage-wide pit and the thirty-piece orchestra. His face registered extreme surprise as he looked between the bars of the railing guarding the pit and saw that even a piano claimed its place there. When the music stopped and the curtains were drawn back, the stranger gasped. Colored cellophane screens placed over the footlights gave life to the players. Other lights hidden from our sight gave to the scene all the impression of bright sunlight. When the curtains closed on the first act. I told my interlocutor about the ultra- convenient double doors in the wall behind the stage used for unloading and reloading borrowed properties for the various performances. 1 lie stranger allowed his eyes to sweep over the entire building. “Looks as though every seat were filled,” he remarked. 1 nodded in assent. “Yes, and that means that almost 1300 people are gathered here.” 1 he second act was on. This time blue and green lights intermingled to give a weird effect to the mystery scene being enacted. When the play was over, the stranger wrung my hand and thanked me heartily for all I had told him about the new auditorium. “It has been so good oi you to tell me about this wonderful building. It receives my highest praise.” After he had gone, the man standing next to me gave a long, low whistle. “Say, if he thinks our auditorium is wonderful, it certainly must be wonderful. That bird liails from the city of New Y'ork!” M. P. S. [81 ] 3i amor Blevins L.—Say, have you noticed the smell in the library lately?

There are meters trochaic And meters iambic, And meters of musical tone; But the meter that’s neater, Completer, and sweeter. Is to meet her by moonlight alone. M iss Schulze—What is the difference between a dress and a gown ? E. Koos—About 500 dollars. • Mr. Kurtz—Do you believe in woman’s clubs? Mr. Putnam—Not on your life. My wife can do enough damage with a rolling pin. • “Is your wife putting up any fruit this summer ?” “No, but I’ve canned a few peaches mvself.” “You have?” “Yes. I’ve had three different stenog- raphers this year, and not one of them knew half as much about spelling and grammar as she did about the latest fashions.” • Bcttie—Professor, do you think mar- riage is a failure? Professor Grigsby — Well—cr—I’ve noticed the bride never gets the best man. • Old Lady—Conductor, do you permit intoxicated people to ride in this car? Conductor—It’s against the rules, ma’am.

Mrs. Aldrich—Does he really drink? • It was in the grammar class Miss Spence asked: “What are the three verb forms?” Delmar McClain rose and answered. “Indicative, interrogative, and impera- tive.” Miss Spence: “Give an example of each form.” Delmar: “Tom is sick.” Pause. “Is Tom sick?” (Long pause.) “Sick ’em, Tom!” Melvin J.—Say, what’s the idea of your wearing my raincoat ? Edward J.—Well, you wouldn’t want your new suit to get wet, would you ? • Miss Anderson—What kind of a noun is “trousers?” L. Nippert—It’s an uncommon noun, because it’s singular at the top and plural at the bottom. • B. Spence—Are you going to Shedd with the band tomorrow? P. Shaffer—Yes, I am going to Shedd. Mr. Grigsb ---But my dear girl, its hardly the time of year for that, yet! V. Hollowaj—What are you going to do with your allowance this month, Fulton ? F. Pennick—Well I don’t know, Ve- nita, whether to buy a car or take you out again. • Marty E.—She said she’d be faithful to the end. R. Schrock—Why, that sounds good.
