Its fertile valleys, green forested mountains, and snow-clad peaks have been extolled by many writers. The division pages of this yearbook delineate the abundant wild- flower glories of the state of Oregon. It is a fitting tribute that the cover of the Albany High School Whirlwind presents the floral emblem of the state of Oregon, the flower with symbolic grace and pioneering spirit—the Oregon grape. This attractive bush with its beautiful yellow flowers blossoms riotously very early in the springtime, in the woods and mountains, and has a special niche in the hearts of all Oregonians. The Oregon grape, however, is not truly a grape, but a barberry. Its clusters of dark berries are grape-like, and it is obvious, therefore, that the early pioneers, remembering the purple-clustered vines of then- former homes, called it the Oregon grape. The glossy, green leaves re- semble the cultivated holly, and for this reason the luxuriant foliage is very effective for decorating purposes. From the Indians, who utilized the plant for dyes, food, and medicine, the white man has learned its commercial value, and every year tons of Oregon grape roots are dug and marketed. Fortunately, the shrub multiplies very rapidly: otherwise our Oregon state flower might be in grave danger. We regret that it is not possible to feature more of the flowers growing in the dales and on the hills of Oregon. Some of the more popular and better-known species have been selected as the able repre- sentatives of the wealth of flowers that adorn the countryside. They include daisies, larkspur, rhododendron, iris, and wild rose. Hchrratuut $ Who pays the flower, Which, at the time of joy, or sorrow’s hour, Expresses sentiments we cannot voice— Insensate though it be, sans will or choice? The buffoon, mouthing inane quips, Is honored, both from purse and lips, But flowers, with most things heaven-brought, Must be content with what they’ve wrought. And so ’tis meet that we devote This book (that man may quote It in his praise) to these Which he’s aware are here, but seldom sees. C. M.

HUDSON TN the past the editors and advisers of our Annual have dedicated the A year-book to a group, a club, or an individual, but this year it seems to me that the dedication to “The Wild Flowers of Oregon” is especially fitting and appropriate. When we are in the fields and woods and along the streams of this country, we cannot help feeling exalted and delighted with the colors and the beautiful things that nature has provided for our enjoyment. Then, too, in our own flower gardens we see the results of man’s efforts to improve and add to the many wild flowers. This is typified in the great variety and shade of color in hyacinths, tulips, roses, and other flowers. To me there is something strikingly similar in the comparison of the young folks of our high school to the wild and the cultured flowers, for we often hear the youth spoken of as the flower of our country.” Here in high school many of the habits that will affect and determine the success of our youth in life aie formed just as scientists develop new and beautiful varieties of flowers from those that nature has first provided. If there is one thing I could leave with the youth who leave our high school, it would be this: Ever remember the three essentials for building strong character: 1. A clear discrimination between right and wrong. 2. High ideals. 3. A responsive will. If you will remember these and always let them be present in your thinking, they will help you to practice the worth-while things that you have learned while here and to enjoy the good things of life. 5 . Jfudson (9) SUPERINTENDENT FRANK B. BENNETT Each spring, as solar warmth returns, all nature seems to respond in song and with bud and flower. Such is spring. School days are our “spring1' of life. How appropriate that life should glow and be radiant promise. But we often assume too much. All plants do not bud, all buds do not bloom, and oft times the fruit withers and is worthless. It is our responsibility and privilege to determine our own future. This requires our best and most diligent effort. Joubert said, “Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them.’ S’ratt c S72. ttonnott % Jm Krai O. P. Romaine D. E. Ne be nr all A. G. Senders C. E. Spence V. L. Calavan D. H. Brenneman THE ALBANY SCHOOL BOARD Here are six citizens of Albany who are vitally interested in every student in Albany High School. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that we salute the School Board, the unfailing directors of our education. This past year the Board lost a valuable member, Mr. R. L. Burkhart. He retired after having served on the Board continuously for many years. However, his position is ably filled by Mr. 0. P. Romaine, our newest member of the School Board. GO) Thurston Gilchrist Gordon Childs Mr. Palmor Eleanor Martinson Julia Morrill Senior Class History HERE comes little Henry as usual for his bedtime story. Well, son, what shall it be? Did I ever tell you the story about the big “thirty-niner,” the largest and most successful example of modern aircraft? And such a crew as it did have! They possessed some of the most brilliant master-minds in history. The instigator and designer of this plane was E. A. Hudson, a worthy man who made possible many flights. The ship made a short trial flight to Freshman Islands in ’36 under Pilots Oberson and Gilchrist. Since the trip was safely made, the crew prepared themselves in the following year for a long non-stop flight to Sophomore Island. Because of his unusual ability and deep in- terest in the former flight, Oberson was unanimously chosen chief pilot of the long, tedious journey. Each member of the crew had looked forward to this first trip for years. If they made a good record this time, they could make greater flights in the future years. Well, son, they made a good record and were given the honor of attending the great carnival, “Fontania.” In ’38 Fisk took Oberson’s place as chief pilot, and the ship took off for a still longer flight to Junior Island. Ten of the crew were taken into the National Honor Society. Their achievement is regarded as the highest attainment possible to a crew member. Only one more flight was needed to make the “thirty-niner” entitled to worldwide record. Pilot Gilchrist, who, you remember, was a co-pilot in the trial flight, was chosen to guide the plane in its final flight to Senior Island. Many were the obstacles, but victorious was the crew. Hostess Quigley was given the D.A.R. good fellowship award. Bryant was the editor- in-chief of the ship’s Annual, and Dunn and Conner kept the crew and the rest of world post- ed by means of the ship's paper, the Whirlwind. The ship was well represented in athletic competition with Gilchrist, Neuman, Smelser, and Patapoff outstanding in football, and B. McKechnie, Saylor, and Ewing taking the honors in basketball. The baseball forces were led by Erb, R. McKechnie, and Roberts. In track, Wicks and Morrison upheld the prestige of the seniors. The flight was made, and the record won. Well, son, if you come around tomorrow night, I’ll tell you what became of the crew in later years. Some of them did great things for the world as you will see.

President of the United States, accompanied by Secretary of State Kean and Attorney-General Wicks, began his annual tour of the nation. At Washington. D.C., the three officials were given a rousing send-off with music by Roberts’ Concert Band. Boarding a Harmon Holst streamliner, they embarked for New York City, where they were welcomed by Mayor Oberson. After hearing a speech by the president of Larsen’s radio network, they attended a performance of the Nash Opera, where the leading roles were sung by Dick Vierick, basso; Eldon Brooks, tenor; and Gracia Chambers, alto. The next stop was at Boston, where the officials witnessed the presentation of the Stellmacher Prize for science to Bette Robe by Professor Leichty of Parker University. Here they also “took in” the heavyweight championship boxing bout between “Butch” Ammon and “Slug” Patapoff; the fight ended in a draw when both contestants were knocked out by referee Stenberg. They noticed that “Bergie” Dawson was the announcer and that “Midge” Smith and Helen Myers, sports writers for the Dunn-Conner newspapers, were present. The party then left for Chicago, stopping at Detroit to watch a baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and the Albany Bulldogs. The Bulldogs won when Bob McKechnie knocked a home run. scoring Roy Andrews. At Chicago they conferred with the politicians, Harold Horning and Gilbert Cox, at the McGuire Hotel, where Harrison’s orchestra was playing, with Henrietta Stratton as vocal soloist. Their old friend, “Red” Stryker, was head waiter. As they were flying westward in a Gaskill airplane, piloted by Gordon Childs, and with Doris Ann Haley, noted authoress; Daniel J. Neuman, multi-millionaire; and Wilbur Burkhart, poultry magnate; as fellow passengers, the airplane suddenly developed motor trouble in its Vehrs engine, which even Chief Mechanic Dolan could not repair. The passengers were forced to “bail out” in their Whittle parachutes. After having landed in a corn-field owned by Delman Greil and Marceil Erb, they were discovered by George Barrett, the hired man, who chased them off the property with a shotgun. Since they were very hun- gry, they set out for the nearest Wickman-Taylor Hot-Dogatorium. Whom should they find here but a group of old classmates Kreger, Niemann, and Johnson—all out of work and spending their last dimes on hamburgers, w hich were being cooked by Velma Williamson and served by Eudora Willis. Arriving at Seattle, the official party was met by Eldon Schultz, chairman of the reception committee. At a banquet at the Ackerman-Sprague Plaza, where Dr. Eugene Bever, authority on matrimony, was the speaker, they met Mayor Soderstrom and Council- men Kelly and WalKer. The stop most to be remembered was at Albany, Oregon, now the West’s greatest city, where a World’s Fair was in progress. Under the direction of Helen Burch and Mary Howells, it was the greatest spectacle ever presented. There were such outstanding attrac- tions as the Wolfe Building, the Blain Hall of Science, and the Conn-Cole sideshow, which contained such exhibitions as Russ McKechnie, strong man; Edna Garland, snake-charmer; Harold Stewart, sword-swallower; Delmer McClain, stunt driver; Mae Schulze, fortune teller; and Hubbell’s Flea Circus, with Willetta Burton as “barker.” After Albany came Hollywood, where the trio were welcomed by Tom Elder, president of the Chamber of Commerce: Arlene Sw’ank. wealthy socialite; and LeRoy Williams, head of the Salvation Army. During a tour of Hollywood on a specially-chartered Perry sight-seeing bus driven by Bud Neuman, they stopped at the Douglas-Cheever Film Corpora- tion and watched Ray Talbert direct a picture starring trie glamorous Gayle Loftin and Com- edian Lloyd McKnight. It was noticed that the costumes were designed by Gloria Jacobson and Marjorie Wilson. Starting eastward, the group rode in a Munsey limousine, with Tommy Tobey as chauf- feur. While crossing Texas, they encountered some Texas Rangers, commanded by Captain “Hally” Davis, chasing “Three Gun” Neely, kidnaper of Virginia Hooker. In New Orleans they visited the National Fine Arts Exposition, where, among the exhibits, were paintings by Senior Prophecy—Continued Julia Merrill and Corinne Penland, and sculpture by Gordon Ferguson and Nina Mudgett. A landscape by Beulah Kenagy was declared the prize-winner by Judges Hoefer, Morgan, and Nordyke. The next portion of the trip was made on a crack Kerr lane express train, with Ralph W illiamson as conductor. In Atlanta, the three had luncheon with Governor Gilchrist and his wife, the former Alice Merrill, and the governor’s secretary, Phyllis Shaffer. While eat- ing, they heard some loud noises outside on Faulkner Boulevard. The butler, Roy Dirrett, entered and announced that it was only Constables Smelser and Ewing dragging Orris W illard, Communist agitator, off to jail. In Miami, the officials were guests of the Misses Peggy Jefferys and Eleanor Martinson at their summer home. Among the guests at a ball given in their honor were Edith Gilchrist, concert pianist; Shirley Bryant, publisher; Bob Kendig, radio crooner; Opal Berhncourt, famous psychiatrist; “Hank” Morrison, of the United States track team to the National Olympics; and Ardelle Day and Ruby Barrett, managers of the Kelty Crematorium. Down on the beach they noticed lifeguard “Kenny” Erb surrounded by a group of admirers, including Marjorie Van Order, Marguerite Fulk, Lois Tuttle, and Dollie Dobrkovsky. While in Miami they visited the Kangas Race Track and saw “Firefly,” ridden by Kenneth Gourley and owned by Kathryn Sorenson, defeat “Jitterbug,” ridden by Raymond Meyer, in a photo finish. Finally the group started back toward Washington. On the way back they passed many interesting places, such as the winter headquarters of the Snyder and Snyder Circus, the Scott-Jones Sanatorium for over-worked students, and the Banks-Winterstein Alligator Farm. Upon their arrival in Washington they were met by Marjorie Quigley, Secretary of Labor, and Major-General Lovett, chief of the U. S. Army Staff, who told them of the strike of the lady factory workers. At the Stieglemeier Co. and the Motley-Hunter Corp. manu- facturers of invisible tooth-picks, a new product invented by Dick Neuman all workers had joined the strike. They were being led by labor leader Louise Myers and her assistant, Mary Frances Brandt. Chief of Police Bowerman and Sheriff Lucht reported that the strikers were terrorizing the populace. The matter was finally amiably settled by official mediator Dragoo, who decreed that the companies should allow their employees to spend two hours each day in the nearby Schlegel Beauty Salon, free of charge. After this was disposed of, the president settled down to sign the papers which his secretary, Anna Mae Haley, handed him. When he had finished this, he sat back and thought about his trip. Suddenly he realized that during his travels he had seen every one of the Albany High graduating class of ’39 that is, all but two, Glenn Morrill and Paul Steffgen, the intrepid explorers who had departed for Mars in a rocket ship ten years before and had never been heard of since that eventful day.

These classes selected Douglas Chandler and Wallace Hunter as presidents. When the two classes combined in the fall of 1937 they elected Wallace Hunter president and Miss Stanford adviser. As juniors this year, 1938-1939, we elected David Gowans president; Wallace Hunter, vice president; Lila McCutchan, secretary; Mary Evans, treasurer: Chet Henshaw, representative to the student council; and Mr. Hiebert, adviser. When David moved to Portland at the beginning of the winter term, Wallace Hunter assumed the presidency and Royal Cox the office of vice president. Of course from the very day of our arrival at high school, we have been an outstanding class! Now we are represented in every student organization and activity. In the athletic fields, Dick McReynolds, Royal Cox, Jack Bird. Bill DeWaal, “Wally” Hunter, Donn Wilson, Jack Prince, Dick Hutcheson, Jimmy Shough. Jimmy Sheler, “Doug” Chandler, John Wooddy, and Max Kennedy won recognition. Many girls, too. found their places on all-star teams. On November 23, the Junior Class presented a play, China Boy,” and this was a great dramatic success. Our past is achievement. Our present you know, Our future is ambition.

These Sophomore flowers were more varied in number than any yet to be introduced into the Albany High “Hot House.” From this number a special few were chosen as leaders of the group: Rird’s Bill—Bill Mikkelson (President) Jack (George) in the Pulpit—George Berks (Vice president) Forget-me-not (e)s—Virginia Bailey (Secretary) Poppy—Bob Reid (Representative to student council) Old Hen and Chickens—Miss Spence and Sophomore class (Adviser and class) The school was so proud of these charming little plants that had just begun to bud that a flower show was given in their honor. (Sopho- more Reception) Later on, in December, the little buds, who were rapidly flowering into big splashes of color, had a good “watering down” at the Lewisburg Skating Rink. In February the clinging vines—Lady Slippers and Johnny jump- ups—entertained the other members of the “Hot House” with a hop. From among these startling creations of nature’s handiwork were pick- ed certain wild flowers for a Sophomore corsage. 135 Mike Becker Clifford Chambers Missing Faces Wesley Beemer Edward Brenneman Donald Burch Thelma Chastain Jimmie Cochell Bernard Davis Norman Ellison Lee Falwell Wayne Feller James Howells Dorothy Fixen Joe Hu bier Charles Gutierrez Phillip Alexander Glenn Allen Marjorie Andersen Junior Anderson Jean Arbuthnot Olive Acheson Jane Barrett Janet Barrett Clarence Bates Irene Becker Mary Bennett Hose Bikman Wallace Bilyeu Alice Blain Mary Louise Boesell Edna Bower man Lillian Bradley Gordon Bragg Eunice Burke Willis Burck Robert Burkhart Glenna Byerley Pearl Cade Robert Campbell Richard Carter Rita Case Ruth Case Barbara Leo Cherry Donna Christensen Bob Christopher Robert Coates Elois Coates Gene Coddington Betty Lou Collins Warren Cooley David Copeland Katherine Copple Bob Cosier LaVonne Cozad Tom Dawson Eleanore Dickson Frances Dickson Roy Eastburn Jeanne Edwards Phoebe Elder Faina Ernst Irene F'alk Alice Fenner Bill F'uller Betty Gearhart Marvin Gourley Ruth Gourley Gordon Graber Lowell Hadley LeAnn Haight Ernestine Haley Bill Halsey Phyllis Hancock Margaret Harms Margaret Hart Glen Hawkins Phyllis Haselton Josephine Hector Doris Horning Eva May Hughes Vernon Hunt Carroll Hyde Donald Johnston Lynn Kampfer Kenneth Kean Joallan Keebler Velda Kelly Harvey Hollwege Luella K itching Dean Know lea Ada Lama Wanda Landmark Mary lea Livingston Kst her Ifticht Boh McClain Clyde McGuire Cathrine Mac Hugh Mary Mac Hugh Dorothy McCleary Anna .McMahan Jack McReynolda George Manning Edmund Melina Kermit Meling Boh Mikkelson Dick Miller Frances Miller Jerrelee Miller Richard A.

Mary Bennett was chosen president; Phyllis Hancock, vice president; and Gladys Rawie, secretary. The president later resigned, and Doris Motley was elected to fill the office for the remaining year. Since the motto of the club is “service, the members do not emphasize social affairs as do many other organizations. We feel certain that our services this year have done much to secure better and more efficient cooperation among the students in the library. SECOND HOW: Hancock, Ralston. Olliver. Kean. Morrill.

Secretarial Club The Secretarial Club consists of twenty-one girls taking advanced shorthand and typing. The officers are as follows: Louise Myers, president; Ilene Sprague, vice-president; Henry belle Faulkner, secretary-treasurer; Gayle Loftin, pianist; and Miss Voyen, adviser. Every Thursday noon the club holds a meeting. The members bring their lunches and discuss problems of business and other subjects connected with the commercial world. On February 15, Miss Jenks, speech director at the University of Oregon, spoke to the club on the effect of speech and voice culture. On April 22, a team of four went to Corvallis and entered the State Typing and Shorthand Contest. The girls entering this contest were Marceil Erb, Louise Myers, Helen Burch, and Ilene Sprague. The team placed second in shorthand accuracy and received a banner and a silver cup. The banner is a permanent award, but the cup must be won three successive times for permanent possession.

As in the past, the club built bonfires, ushered at various functions, and carried on fire drills. The club is particularly proud of a new record set for fire drills. In addition to this the faculty and the Corvallis Hi-y club were entertained with a ban- quet on March 27. The boys entertained their mothers with a Mothers’ Day breakfast. An innovation for the Hub City was the organization of the Madison and Central Jun- ior Hi-Y’s, which are expected to be promising organizations in the coming years. The club was also represented at the Northwest Hi-Y Congress at Columbia Gorge hotel, on April 14, 15, and 16, by Gordon Childs, Robert McKechnie, and Clarence Wicks. 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 vote of the club.

' Boys’ Athletic Association The high school boys have managed all the athletics and with the help of the Order of A have started a series of trophies for the winners of each of the various sports. The trophies for wrestling and boxing have been purchased and are now on display in our trophy case. Next year trophies for football, basketball, baseball, and track, will be added to this group. The Order of A is planning to engrave the outstanding senior boy’s name in each sport on the trophy each year. Out of the proceeds of the athletics this year, the balance of $846 due on the football lighting equipment was paid. Fifty percent of the cost of installation of the sprinkling sys- tem on the baseball diamond was also paid. The other half of this was paid by the town ball club. Sophomore SIXTH ROW: Copeland.

Literary Explorers The qualification for membership in the Literary Explorers is the memorization of twenty-five selections from the “Treasure Chest.” Only seniors with grades of “1” and “2” are eligible. Thirty-three persons fulfilled these requirements and became Literary Explorers for the year 1938-1929. The programs are held at noon in Miss Chase’s room. The officers are Clarence Leichty, president; Viola Hoefer, vice president; Mae Schulze, secretary-treasurer; Helen Kangas, librarian; Miss Chase, adviser; and Miss Stanford, honorary member. In the Carnival parade the Literary Explorers were awarded third prize for their entry, which consisted of a sail boat exploring the “Seas of Literature.” The members of the club are Barbara Ackerman, Ruby Barrett, Fred Baughman, Opal Berlincourt, Eldon Brooks, Mary Frances Brandt, Shirley Bryant, Esther Conner, Jean Dunn, Mildred Douglas, Doris Dragoo, Marceil Erb, Henrybelle Faulkner, Edith Gilchrist, Anna Mae Haley, Viola Hoefer, Mary Howells, Pearl Jones, Helen Kangas, Beulah Kenagy, Clarence Leichty, Eleanor Martinson, Helen Morgan, Winona Perry, Bryan Roberts, Mae Schulze, Phyllis Shaffer, Ilene Sprague, Edith Stellmacher, Ralph Williamson. Post graduates: Sarah Louise Baker, Gladys Hoflich, and Dorothy Sheler. Livewires The new school pep club was organized early in the fall of 1938 for the purpose of selling tickets, ushering, and being of general service to the student body of Albany High School. With one member from each roll room being selected at the beginning of each semester, two sets of 16 members each constitute the club membership, with Mr. Kurtz as adviser. The handling of football games was the first undertaking of the club as a service organiza- tion, and the members demonstrated their ability for capable management. The carnival concessions were entirely under the supervision of the Livewires, who handled this responsibility in a very efficient manner. Officers for the first semester were Bob Mikkelson, president; Josephine Hector, vice president; and Markie Weatherford, secretary. Members were Eleanor Martinson, LaVonne Cozad, Marjorie VanOrder, Dorothy Dvorak, Jean Dunn, Markie Weatherford, Josephine Hector, Conny Case, Edith Gilchrist, Virginia Bailey, Bill Halsey, Bob Mikkelson, Fred Baughman, Rae Cleland, Leonard Olvis, Neil Shepherd, and Edwin Stryker. Officers for the second semester were Bill White, president; Fern Zemlicka, vice presi- dent; and Ray Talbert, secretary. Members were Pearl Cade, Jean Arbuthnot, Fern Zemlicka, Priscilla Wilson, Janet Barrett, Roberta Dawson, Gayle Loftin, Marjorie A. Miller, Gordon Ferguson, Leonard Olvis, Joe Neely, Ray Talbert, Bill White, Bill Halsey, Warren Cooley, and Don Beight. Associated Treasurers The organization of the Associated Treasurers was formulated to bring into closer relationship the student association and the treasurers and advisers of the high school organizations that they might 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 vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer are elected from among the members. 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 organiza- tion and file a copy at the student bank. Although regular meetings were not held, each member cooperated and served to the best of his ability. Marceil Erb, treasurer of the Student Body, is president; Richard Wicks, treasurer of Hi-Y, is vice president; Willetta Burton, treasurer of the Debate Club, is secretary; Betty Haley, treasurer of the Sophomore Class, is treasurer: and Miss Voyen, superviser of the Student Bank, is the adviser. Membership consists of Betty Haley, Dorothy Dvorak, Marjorie Street, Lila McCutchan, Robert Pesheck, Arlene Swank, Phyllis Hancock, La Verne Wilson, Richard Wicks, Irene Falk, Roberta Dawson, Helen Marks, Henrybelle Faulkner, Willetta Burton. Dick Vierick.and Shirley Bryant. (52) Honorary Science Club The Honorary Science Club was organized this year by a group of science students, with the aid of their adviser, Mr. Otto. This club, formed to replace the Math-Science Club which was disbanded last year, is composed of students with a high average in science sub- jects. The membership of ten seniors and five juniors was selected by the charter members, who are also the officers: Ray Talbert, president; Bill Kean, vice president; Bette Robe, sec- retary; Ardys Alexander, treasurer; Dale Stillwell, sergeant-at-arms. The club has been rather active in school affairs and hopes to increase its activity next year. The first prize in the homecoming noise parade was won by the club earlier in the year. Camera Club The activities of the Camera Club started at the beginning of the second semester. Clinton Stewart was elected president, and Warren Gaskill was elected secretary and treasurer. The activities of the club began with the primary functions of photography and has progressed through the developing of the film, and the printing and the enlarging of the picture. The club contributed many of the photographs which appear in this annual. The club, on May 2, 1939, viewed the film strip sent by General Electric Company on indoor lighting and photography. The purpose of the club is to give the members a more thorough knowledge of photo- graphy in general, and also to show them how to do their own developing and printing. Stage Crew This year the stage crew was composed of six members: Robert Vehrs, manager: Hollis Davis, Lawrence Soderstrom, Clinton Stewart. Morgan Harman, and Bruce Straney. The stage crew built all of the scenery for most of the plays this year. They also helped in constructing the booths in the gym for the carnival. They have charge of lighting and stage management for all the performances in the auditorium. Clockeyed Curriculum “Willieeee!” “Yes, Mom, coming. Ho-hum, too bad a fellow can’t sleep in the morning. Seven o’clock is too early to get up any morning, but of course I am learning a lot from that eight o’clock typing class. Well, here goes the quick way down banisters always did beat elevators, anyway. “Oh Mom, will you do me a favor and put up a lunch for me? There’s a Literary Explorers’ meeting this noon, and 1 have to be there. Thanks a lot. “So-long, Mom I’ll be home late this evening- there’s a baseball game right after school, and there’s no telling how long it will last. I’ll grab a bite at the Bulldog before carnival practice. Bye. “Hello, Jim, what’s news? Did you say there’s a Hi-Y meeting today at twelve-forty? I suppose I can make it. I’ll try anyway. W’ell, here we are let’s stop by the bulletin board to see the carnival practice schedule. “Let’s see Adagio practice at seven o’clock; senior cast practice at seven-thirty; general rehearsal at eight, and then home I hope. W hat’s this, another bulletin? The debate team goes to Independence tomorrow? W hew! I guess I’ll have to do some practicing at home before the mirror. I’ve almost forgotten why the United States doesn’t want an alliance with Great Britain. I hope that’s all for today. “Oh.well, only another month before graduation, and then I can take one big long rest.’’ Albany High School P. T. A. The Albany High School P.T.A. through the efficient leadership of Mrs. William Hobbs has completed one of its most successful years since its inception. A highlight of the winter meetings was the “Back to School” night, which enabled parents to become acquainted with the daily programs of the pupils and to meet their instructors. At the January meeting Dr. Schoeller of Oregon State College was the guest speaker. His topic was “Americanism.” In March Dean Dubach gave an interesting address on “Achievement.” This program was dedicated to the Fathers and the Sons, and a large gathering of boys and their dads turned out for this occasion. In April Dr. Emerson, President of Linfield College, spoke to the P.T.A. Among the w'orthy projects for this year were “The Treasure Chest” and a play “Soup to Nuts.” These activities raised a substantial sum of money which went to the Stu- dent Loan Fund In the late fall when the district meeting of the Girls’ Federation was held here a luncheon was served. A nominal sum was realized. The P. T. A. also held candy sales benefiting the Health Unit and the Home Economics Department. The Albany High School P. T. A. sent representatives to Klamath Falls to the state convention. At this time the Albany High School Parent Teachers’ Association wishes to thank officers, parents, teachers, pupils, and friends for their splendid cooperation in making this a year of accomplishment. Band Boosters Although it has been but a little over two years since the Band Parents’ Booster Club was organized, it has a very definite place in the life of the band of Albany High School. Instrumental in raising the money with which the new uniforms for the band were purchased, the band parents also have been responsible for their upkeep, insurance, and renewals. This past year has been filled with activity. Auction and cooked food sales, as well as candy and potato chip sales have been the means by which the parents have raised money. The major project this year was the very successful and highly enjoyed trip which the band took to Tacoma, Washington, where they took partin a marching demonstration. Another project, which the Band Parents are sponsoring, is the providing of a dinner for the Linn-Benton County Jersey Jubilee to be held in Bryant’s Park on May 25. Officers this year were Mrs. Thomas Gilchrist, president; Mrs. D. M. McKnight, vice president; Mrs. Paul Dawson, secretary; Mr. J. J. Neuman, treasurer; Mrs. E. A. Sorenson and Mrs. E. R. Erb, custodians of the uniforms. (55) Girls’ Glee Club Boys’ Glee Club Orchestra Girls’ Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club of about forty-five members was organized early during the first semester. The girls sang for the Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies, as well as for several other regular assemblies. The Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, “Pirates of Penzance,” was successfully presented by the Girls’ and the Boys’ Glee Clubs on January 27. The Girls’ Glee Club will present music for the National Music Week programs. With other music organizations of the Albany Schools the girls plan to present a final concert before the end of the school year. Kathryn Thomas has been a very able accompanist. The president for the first sem- ester was Jerrelee Miller; for the second semester. Ardys Jenk$. FOURTH ROW: Dunn, Wilson. Stuart. Murphy. Putman. Elder. Falk. Gourley, Lucht. Burke.

Boys’ Glee Club Last fall a Boys’ Glee Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Lehman. This was the first time for many years that Albany High School has had a Boys’ Glee Club. Between twenty and twenty-five boys meet at 12:30 every noon for rehearsal, with Lloyd McKnight as pianist. A determined effort is being made to increase the membership to fifty boys. This year the Boys’ Glee Club took part in the operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance,” presented on January 26, 1939. A week later, on February 8, the boys, having lost a ticket selling contest to the girls, staged a chili feed and dance for the Girls’ Glee Club in the dining room of the high school. The present officers of the club are Leonard Roth, president; Eldon Brooks, vice-presi- dent; Willis Burck, secretary-treasurer; Donald Snyder, reporter; Robert Campbell, librarian; and Revelle Bowerman. sergeant-at-arms.

Orchestra The Albany High School orchestra, which consists this year of over thirty members, has been an organized musical attraction for the past twenty-seven years. Playing at assemblies and various school programs makes up the program of the orches- tra. It also broadcasts a program from K.O.A.C. every year. Under Mr. Luper’s able direction, the orchestra rehearses two mornings a week, from eight to nine o’clock. The members of the orchestra are not only from the high school, but also from Madison, Central, and Maple. The officers for this year are Ardys Alexander, president: Russell McKechnie, vice president; La Verne Wilson, secretary-treasurer; Jimmie Hendricks, manager; and Ella Hewitt, librarian.

Albany High School Band The band has enjoyed one of the most successful years of its existence. Long known as an excellent concert band, the band this year entered a new field and received wide acclaim as a military marching band. On April 1, the band participated in the annual Daffodil Fes- tival at Tacoma, Washington, where the musicians marched in the parade and later put on a marching exhibition. At the state band contest in Salem the Albany High School band was the winner of the first place in the marching competition and secord place in the playing division. This entitles the band to enter the National Contest in Portland, where bands from five states will compete. Two well-attended concerts were presented during the year. Band officers are Robert McKechnie, president; Lloyd McKnight, vice president; Arlene Swank, secretary-treasurer; and Lyman Olliver, librarian. Mr. Luper was assisted in marching drills by two lieutenants, seven sergeants, and eight corporals. FOURTH ROW: D. Neuman Zemlicka. Kean. B. McKechnie, Hulbert, Sorenson. Hadley. Swank. Witherite.

Mr. Hudson Mirvin Stenbersr Chet Henshaw Bobby Reid Student Council The Student Council consists of the president of the student body and other student body officers: a representative from each class; and the principal, Mr. Hudson. The repre- sentatives are Mirvin Stenberg, senior; Chet Henshaw, junior; and Bob Reid, sophomore. Among the many achievements of the council are the making and approving of dates for school functions; nominating the succeeding student body officers; taking charge of all elections, planning for the carnival; sponsoring high school debating; and supervising other things pertaining to clubs and activities. Alvin Oberson Alice Merrill Kathryn Sorenson Marceil Erb Student Body All students who are enrolled in the Albany High School become members of the Stu- dent Body Association by paying dues at the beginning of the year. This fee entitles them to the privilege of attending student activities and voting at all student body elections. Among the many things that are accomplished by the organization is the electing of a queen to reign over the high school carnival. Any high school senior girl is eligible, and the voting takes place the last of March. Alvin Oberson, the student body president, has presided at all meetings and assemblies throughout the school year. Other officers oi the year are Alice Merrill, vice president; Kathryn Sorenson, secretary; and Marceil Erb, treasurer. Zemlicka. Ehrlich. McCutchan. Marks. Bailey. Ralston. Beight. Bryant. Me Reynolds. China Boy “China Boy,” a hilarious and entertaining comedy full of laughable situations, was presented by the junior class on March 7, in the Albany High School auditorium. It was directed by Mrs. Mary Childs. The play centered around the life of an American boy who had been reared in China and had later come to live with an American family. The cast included Rufus Bryant as “China Boy”; Fern Zemlicka as Lula Mae Robinson, the 12-year-old terror; Jack Ralston and Lila McCutchan as Mr. and Mrs. Parker, the parents; Helen Marks as Selma; Don Beight as Bill; Ruth Ehrlich as the slow-moving maid; Donn Wilson as George Robinson; Dick McReynolds as Bob Troutman: and Edith Bailey as Selma’s rival. The proceeds of the play will be expended on the public school health fund and the juniors’entertainment for the seniors. “Double Door” “Double Door,” the annual Quill and Scroll play, which was presented on Friday evening, November 18, in the high school auditorium, was pronounced a success by an audience of eight hundred. This three-act tragedy kept the audience gripping the arms of their chairs with tense anticipation and horror. Jean Dunn very realistically portrayed Victoria Van Bret, an elderly woman who ruled her family with a maniac's firmness. Marjorie Quigley impersonated the sweet but cowed sister, Caroline. Ray Talbert played the part of her mild and ineffectual brother, Rip. Hateful Victoria was more cruel than ever because Rip wished to marry Anne, a young lady not of his social standing. The role of Anne was played by Phyllis Shaffer. How Victoria tortured the sweet young bride and finally tried to murder her brought the climax to the play. The fine supporting cast included Roberta Dawson as Louise; Richard A. Miller as Sully; Wendell Gronso as Neff; Bryan Roberts as Mr. Chase; Muriel Forster as Avery; Lloyd McKnight as Telson; Wallace Hunter as Lambert; and Lyman Olliver as William. (61) Pirates of Penzance “Pirates of Penzance,” one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s best operettas, was presented by the Glee Clubs on January 26, 1939, under the direction of Mrs. Johnson, assisted by Mr. Lehman and Mrs. Childs. The story tells the troubles of Frederic, who was apprenticed, by mistake, to a pirate instead of a pilot. It was discovered on the day of his release from apprenticeship that his birthday was on February 29. Since this made him five and one half years old instead of twenty-one he felt it his duty to remain with the pirates in spite of his love for Mabel, the Major General’s daughter. In the end it was discovered that all the pirates were noblemen who had “gone wrong,” and the story ended happily. The operetta was highly praised for the sparkling dialogue and the professional way in which the songs were presented. The cast consisted of Leonard Roth, Lyman Olliver, Billy Hobbs, Eldon Brooks, Marvin Lovett, Ardys Jenks, Jean Dunn, Marjorie Street, Jerrelee Miller, and Gladys Rawie. The cast was assisted by the Girls' Chorus and accompanied by Kathryn Thomas. Carnival T HE 1939 Albany High School carnival was one of our most successful productions ever offered. The day of festivities began with the annual Loud Sock parade, directed by Mr. Lehman. Approximately twenty floats were led by the Albany High School band and the float of Queen Alice I and her court. The mile-long parade was a colorful spectacle with every high school student in gay costume. The sophomore class placed first in floats; HomeEc club, second: and Literary Explorers, third place. Robert Sherf was judged the most cleverly costumed with Gladys Rawie and Janet Barrett coming in at second and third places, respectively. In couples, Rufus Bryant and Gilbert Whitney won as the cleverest; Bob Cosier and Bob Mikkelson, second; and George Manning and Ward Woods, third. The Order of A held kangaroo court for all students and faculty members who were not appropriately costumed. In the afternoon a musical program was given on Central field under the general supervision of Mrs. Johnson. In the early evening the classes presented “From Minuet to Swing,” a pageant depicting the history of the dance. The sophomores entertained with the stately minuet and dances to 1860: the juniors gave the dances from 1860 to the World War; and the seniors represented the modern music. Each class performed before the newly-crowned queen, her attendants, and their escorts. The princesses were Julia Merrill, Peggy Jefferys, Lila McCutchan, Dorothy Dvorak, Marjorie A. Miller, Jean Arbuthnot, Markie Weatherford, and Patsy Stuart. The junior class was adjudged the winner. “Minuet to Swing” was under the direc- tion of Mrs. Childs, assisted by Miss Clark, Miss Stanford, Mr. Hiebert, Miss Osborne, and Mr. Palmer. Bill Kean was student manager. The day was climaxed by the concessions in the gym. Mr. Kurtz and the Livewires had charge of this. Mrs. Penland supervised the advertising and the door prizes. Miss Voyen was the financial manager. Assemblies The annual Sophomore Reception was held in the auditorium on September 30. The sophomores were initiated into the high school by being compelled to entertain the rest of the school! The Eureka Jubilee singers, the first lyceum number to be presented, entertained an appreciative assembly of grade and high school students on October 25. The singers gave an interesting and amusing interpretation of Negro spirituals, ballads, and folksongs. A special lyceum number was presented on November 7, by Mr. and Mrs. Owens of Portland, Oregon. This program was in the form of a motion picture, “Little Men.” A comedy preceded the main picture. The Thanksgiving Day program was prepared by the Junior Class on November 23. The Honor Society Initiation was held on November 18. In an impressive ceremony ten seniors were admitted to the society. The seniors were responsible for the annual Christmas assembly on December 23. After some musical numbers a Constitution was given to the school by the local Masonic Order, and Bibles were presented by the Gideon Society. On February 22 the sophomore class had charge of the annual Washington Day assem- bly. Singing numbers and an address by Mr. Bennett constituted th � first part of the program. Mr. Melville, a glass blower and lecturer, then held the audience spellbound with his delicate workmanship. In a special assembly on March 1, Dean Schwering from the University of Oregon gave an interesting talk to the Girls Federation. On March 6 Commander Scott of the British Naval Air Service entertained the students with descriptions of the countries in which he had traveled. Professor H. L. Tarman demonstrated on March 17 the fraud and dishonesty of hynotism in a unique assembly feature called “Debunking of Spirits.” On April 20 Dean Dubaeh of Oregon State College gave an interesting talk to the student body. Dr. Poling began the meeting by leading the students in singing. Immediately following the main assembly Dr. Poling spoke to the seniors on the courses offered in the schools of higher education in Oregon. In a lyceum number of May 20, Daniel Dew and Company demonstrated skillful, humorous, and interesting slight-of-hand artistry. The regular spring Honor Society initiation was held in the auditorium on May 22. The Hi-Y delighted the Student Body with their annual assembly on May 25. ■k to H 73 O O to Hunter Newman Coach Ireland Ammon Smelser DeWaal Miller Erb Gilchrist Childs Patapoff R. McKechnie Fisk Cox Willard Ewing Wilson Bird Neuman B. McKechnie Anderson S ten berg Wicks McReynolds Hutcheson Football Under the guidance of Coach Tom Ireland, who replaced Carl Ellingsen as Albany High School coach, the Albany High School Bulldogs had one of the most successful grid sea- sons ever enjoyed by the Blue and Gold football machine. The record for this season was five wins, three losses, and one tie. Coach Ireland built his team around the following six letter- men: Jack Bird, Thurston Gilchrist, Jack Patapoff, Bruce Smelser, and Dick McReynoids. September 16, Alumni Here In a pre-season game Albany outbattled a big, tough gang of alumni players by the score of 7 to 0. Although it was early in the year, this game showed promise of a successful grid season to come. September 23 Here A tough little band of Myrtle Point gridders made it hard sledding fora while for the Bulldogs, but the former finally bowed before the superior Albany weight and speed with a score of 19 to 7. September 30 Here A tricky gang of University high school players led by high stepping “Chuck” DeAutremont almost put the skids under the Blue and Golds but lost out when Pete Fisk converted for extra point after the touchdown to give Albany a 7 to 6 margin. The game was played on the Albany turf and was one of the most thrilling games of the season. October 7, Tillamook- There—A cocky and not a little over-confident gang of Albany foot- ballers traveled to Tillamook and came back with a 13 to 13 tie. This game was played on a field that was covered with a heavy fog during the last half; however the Bulldogs’ passing attack worked very efficiently. October 14, Salem Here In thi3 game the battling Bulldogs bowed to the Salem high Vikings with a score of 27 to 13. It was one of the hardest played games seen all year, for the Bulldogs gave Salem one of its toughest battles of the season. October 21, Bend There The Blue and Gold again tasted defeat when they ran up against the Bend Lava Bears. The Bulldogs muffed several scoring chances and the final score stood at 19 to 7. The Bulldogs in this game demonstrated their powerful offense but seemed to be lax on the defense end. October 28, Lebanon Here The most bitter defeat of the year came in this game when a weary band of Bulldogs lost to Lebanon 7 to 0. This game was played in a sea of mud and gave the Albany lads no chance to unleash their powerful passing attack. November 11, Corvallis There A rested and refreshed gang of Albany gridders really turned on the steam in this game, and they outpassed, outran, and outplayed the Corvallis bpartans 25 to 2. Albany’s passing attack in this game was virtually unstoppable and accounted for three of the touchdowns. November 24, McMinnville—Here The Bulldogs took up where they left off in the Corvallis game and slaughtered McMinnville 44 to 0. This game was played without the services of Pete Fisk and forced the Bulldogs to keep on the ground for their scoring. This was the final game of the season and was a very fitting climax to the Albany High School grid season. Football letters were awarded to nineteen boys this year by Coach Ireland. Twelve of these were seniors, six were juniors, and one a sophomore. Those who received their letters were Kenneth Erb, Thurston Gilchrist, Kieth Ewing. Jack Patapoff, Bruce Smelser, Orris Willard, Gordon Childs, Bud Newman, Bob McKechnie, Russ McKechnie, Dan Neuman, Ed Ammon, Dick McReynoids, Pete Fisk, Jack Bird, Dick Hutcheson, Royal Cox, Donn Wilson, Dick A. Miller, and Clarence Wicks. Basketball Albany High School’s basketball team this year had one of the most disastrous seasons that have ever been experienced by the Blue and Gold hoop forces. The Bulldogs were able to win only three of twenty-two scheduled games. One big draw-back to this year’s team was the lack of experienced material. Royal Cox and Hank Morrison were the only returning lettermen. Players who made their letter in basketball were Royal Cox, Hank Morrison, Jim Shough. JimSheler, Bob Morris, Clarence Wicks. Thurston Gilchrist, Bob McKechnie, Doug Chandler, and Bum Oberson. December 2, Oakridge Here A smooth working backboard-driving Oakridge team punc- tured the Bulldogs’ balloon 41 to 24 in the first game of the season. December 9, Junction City There In one of the roughest games of the season the Bulldogs were overpowered 35 to 22 by Junction City. December 14, Sweet Horn? Here A luckless gang of Sweet Home basketeers went down in defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs 50 to 17. December 20, Chemawa There This game found the Bulldogs being dumped by the fast working Chemawa team 51 to 36. December 23, Junction City Here The A.H.S. basketeers again tasted defeat at the hands of Junction City 31 to 19. December 30, Oakridge There The Bulldogs here lost one of the most heartbreaking games of the year by the score of 26 to 28. January 3, Sweet Home There The Bulldogs really tore loose and mopped up the Huskies 54 to 22. January 6, Eugene There A tall gang of Eugene basketeers socked the Bulldogs 19 to 32. January 10, Salem There The team that was to be state champs slipped past the Albany lads 14 to 33. January 13, McMinnville Here The Bulldogs played a fiery first half but lost out in the second canto 17 to 28. January 17, Oregon City There The Blue and Golds again took it on the nose from the Oregon City court lads 43 to 21. January 20, Toledo Here A free throw in the overtime period gave the Toledo Mudhens a hard-earned one-point victory over the Bulldogs 29 to 30. January 24, Lebanon Here—A scrappy Lebanon team did it this time to the Albany boys 25 to 20. January 27, Corvallis There The Corvallis High Spartans handed it to the Bulldogs this time 41 to 25.

Baseball At the opening of the 1938 baseball season the Bulldogs, then still under the coaching of Carl Ellingsen, had five returning lettermen. A good crop of baseball enthusiasts also turn- ed out and made the 1938 diamond season one of success. The Bulldogs played fifteen games and won nine of these fifteen; they lost four games and tied two. They gained second place in the Strawberry Fair series. In the district finals they lost out to a strong Eugene team. Those who received letters in baseball were Leland Dragoo, Pete Fisk, Leroy Schrock, Kenneth Erb, Jim Shough. Keith Ewing, Clyde Hines, Bryan Roberts, Bob McKechnie, Donn Wilson, Ed Ammon, John Wooddy, Royal Cox, Orris Willard, and Russell McKechnie. SECOND ROW: Roberta. Ammon. Shoujarh. Woody. Stenberg. B.

(69) Boxers For the first time in several years a genuine boxing schedule was organized and carried though. In the eight meets that were held, the Albany ring men won three. The five schools which were included in the schedule were Oregon City, Corvallis, Independence, Lebanon, and Milwaukie. The four boys who earned letters in boxing were Dick Hutcheson, W arren Cooley, Jake Prince, and David Madsen. Of these lettermen Prince and Hutcheson had the best records. Prince won five matches and concluded his second year of competition without a defeat. Hutcheson was defeated in only one of six matches, and this one loss was his first in two years of boxing. Prospects for the mitt team are very bright for next year, as all of the lettermen will be returning. George Gentemann was in charge of the training and coaching of the boxers.

Jack PatapofT won the title of state heavyweight champion for 1939. Meets were held with Camas, Milwaukie, Corvallis, Oregon City, and the Oregon Blind School. Those receiving letters were Jack PatapofT, Roy Andrews, Kenneth Gourley, Roy Woolridge, Arthur Coddington, Harold MacIIugh, John Bryant, Elmer Walker, Wendell Gronso, Howard Johnson, and George Dolan.

Tumbling An activity comparatively new’ in girls’ sports is the advanced tumbling classes. Girls w'ho are sufficiently interested in working after school comprise the team Interest is essen- tial. Some of the requirements are being able to do the forward and backward roll, to mark time with hands in a wall support ten times, and to hold a handstand for ten seconds. The girls of the team have become publicly noted for their accomplishments. They have performed a variety of diving stunts and pyramids for many programs during the year, including the May Day and Carnival programs, P. T. A. programs, and between halves at the Albany-Corvallis basketball game. They have “filled out” in many other programs. The girls receive no credit for tumbling other than the individual gain of participation. SECOND ROW: Penland, Ernst, Stuart, Senders, Woodford. Harader. Hector. Wilson. Weatherford. McMahon.

All girls who have enough points to receive a letter are elligible for membership. The Girls’ Executive Council, which consists of the officers of the club, includes Helen Burch, pres- ident: Mary Evans, vice president; Marjorie Nordyke, secretary-treasurer; and Nina Mudgett, sergeant-at-arms. The girls who earned the right to wear athletic sweaters were Marceil Erb, Marjorie Nordyke, Helen Burch, and HenryBelle Faulkner. They acted as ushers at the basketball games played in the Albany High gym. Social activities for the club during the year comprised skating and swimming parties and a high school co-ed party. Two initiations were held during the year for the benefit of the new members. Since the main purpose of the club was service, every member tried to accomplish this purpose P !!• III ROW: Hughes. B.

Yell Leaders Leading enthusiastic fans in giving a little pep to the athletes in their struggles for victory on the gridiron, on the court, and on the field, the three 1938-39 yell leaders performed their duties with such vigor and determination that they were chosen to be the A.H.S. yell leader for 1939-1940. Bob Witherite, Connie Case, and Jerrilee Miller are the three “peppy” little yell leaders. LFIFT TO RIGHT: Miller. Witherite. Case. Order Of A In order to become a member of this organization, a boy must officially earn a letter “A in one of the following four sports: football, baseball, basketball, and track. The officers for this year were Kenneth Erb, president; Jack Patapoff, vice president; Dick Vierick, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Otto, adviser. The Order of A sponsored the drive for the purchasing of boxing and wrestling tro- phies, on which the name of the outstanding senior boxer and the outstanding wTestler will be carved. Next year they hope to be able to buy trophies for the outstanding person in each of the four major sports. The Order of A policed the carnival parade, and they also conducted a kangaroo court for the persons not coming to school appropriately dressed for “loud sock day.” SECOND ROW: Newman. Lovett.

Bulldog Boosters The Bulldog Boosters, an organization composed of business and professional men, alumni, and former athletes of Albany High School, have accomplished another successful year. This year the main objective has been to increase attendance at all high school games. Through their efforts, a sufficient fund was acquired to complete payments for the light- ing of the football field. They also succeeded in getting a new baseball diamond; it now has a turf, and recently new lights were installed for the purpose of night baseball and softball. Robert Marks is president of the organization. Golf Albany High School’s golf team had a fairly successful golf season in 1938. The fact that they won half of their matches was quite an achievement for an Albany High School golf team. Among the out-of-town teams with whom they played were Eugene High School, Univer- sity High School, Corvallis High School, Salem High School, Silverton High School, Oregon State Rooks, and the Oregon frosh. Those who earned their letter-in-gold were Dave Gowans, Richard A. Miller, Glenn Kenagy, and Roy Eastburn. Girls’ Athletics The girls’ physical education classes of 1938-1939 have had a very successful and en- joyable school year under the able supervision of Miss Osborne. All girls were required to take physical education on every other day. On the days that the boys had gym, the girls took first aid, alternating with the boys. The girls who were unable to take active gym participated in special sports in a restrictive class. The first major sport for the girls was volleyball. The senior girls were the winners in a successful inter-class tournament. An all-star volleyball team was chosen, and the following girls received the honor of being on it: Mary Bennett, Helen Burch, Mary Evans, Helen Myers, Marceil Erb, Mary Frances Brandt, Dorothy Dvorak, and Willetta Burton. The second major sport was basketball. In this sport the sophomore girls proved to be the inter-class tournament winners. In an interclass tournament the third-period team won the winners’ title altera hard fight. The all-star basketball team consisted of the follow- ing girls: Mary Bennett, Gayle Loftin, Anna McMahan, Helen Burch, Edith Stellmacher, and Betty Haley. A large number of girls enrolled in the advanced tumbling class this year. This class presented a tumbling act at the basketball game between Corvallis and Albany and also at several P.T.A. meetings. These performances, in addition to the act given at the carnival, have won them wide recognition. After a few weeks of hit-pin. the girls received dancing lessons. Baseball and track were the last major sports of the school year.

Sftobert W cJfec nu'o Behind every production are those capable people of whom so little is said, and upon whom so much is dependent. In view of the fact that all the shop routine was managed by the Albany High School students with their own printing equipment, this Whirl- wind Annual may be said to be published under unique circumstances. With the exception of the cover, the insert pages, and the binding, all of the de- tails were performed by the students, supervised by Miss Chase, manuscript adviser, and Mr. Grigsby, mechanical adviser. Since the type was all set by hand, diligent, tireless, and prolonged effort was necessary. After the manu- script was set, the pages were printed on the large press which was purchased last year. The pages were then trimmed, the book was assembled, and the material sent away to be bound. The decorative border at the bottom of each page was drawn by Julia Merrill, and carved in linoleum by Jean Dunn. Besides the reference on another page to the official duties of the Annual staff, we think that other people deserving complimentary mention are Nina Mudgett. Esther Conner, Muriel Forster, Jean Dunn, Phyllis Shaffer, Wendell Gronso, Marjorie Andersen, Ardys Alexander, Gladys Rawie and Richard Miller. These students have worked loyally after school, on Saturdays, and even in the evenings. Many students outside the realm of the journalism classes responded most generously with assistance whenever it was requested, and they are gratefully remembered. The Camera Club members, under the leadership of Mr. Palmer, should be mentioned for their enthusiasm in taking pictures and in develop- ing the pictorial advertising section, which, by the way, is distinctly new. We wish to commend the work of the girls who worked cheerfully on the Annual sale. The sale staff was composed of Corinne Penland, Muriel Forster, Julia Merrill, Esther Conner, and Roberta Dawson. Besides the students directly connected with the work of our yearbook are those persons who have made this book financially possible. The help of the advisers and of the students who worked so industriously to make the carnival a success is also recognized, for the money from the carnival largely supports the Annual. We have enjoyed editing the Oregon Wild Flower Edition, and we hope that its pages will recall many memories of happy days in Albany High School.
