The peace which American democracy would demonstrate to the world is the only lasting peace. It is the peace which demands the right of self-determination for all nations within their own legitimate boundaries. The American flag has always been an emblem under which our loyal legions have marched and sacrificed for the principle of human justice. We therefore consider it fitting to use it throughout the book as the most appropriate decoration possible in expressing our desire for an American peace. When an idea is universally accepted as expressing a desirable condition or manner[of living, that idea becomes a law. Nothing in the world today is more greatly desired than peace, but among too many people the idea of peace is based on their individual advantage; consequently there is a continual conflict—the strong seeking! to subjugate those who are less warlike. If we in the United States of America keep ever in the front of our minds our desire for a peace based on justice, we will help in attaining for the world the desire for an American peace. C. ? . Srtf sdy ZsJioi s iaft Jove J ty no yhbor as t tyso f” THIS WAY IS PEACE 0 PEACE, this book we dedicate, Hoping we may articulate Some tiny thought to help abate The cataclysmic wave of hate Which holds the world aghast. First, ’mongst things which we deplore, Comes greed—the craving to have more Of goods and place from nature’s store Than we can claim by earning’s score, ’Though other lives we blast. Along with greed comes vanity— Parade of self for all to see How great and mighty men are we, Though, in our preening, often we Discourage worthy folk. Hence, we commend the Master’s creed To offset vanity and greed, For peace on earth ‘twill swiftly speed If men but understand and heed— The creed which He, commanding, spoke.

R. A. BUCHANAN 0UR friend is gone. Out somewhere in the mysterious un- known spaces, it is some solace to think that he is reveling in the accumulation of knowledge that he strove for here and found to a greater extent than most of us are capable of attaining. Our friend is gone. The physical agonies which he had patiently endured while he was with us are ended. His great soul is freed from the restricting confines of its mortal dwell- ing, and we are pleased to believe that it is now returned to its omnipotent creator, with whom there is absolute peace. Our friend is gone. Perhaps right now he stands spell- bound and begins to realize and to understand the magnitude and the perfection of the synchronization of this endless universe. Our friend is gone. But we take comfort in the thought that we are all in the hands of a wise creator who gives us, here on earth, our span of time in which to establish our self-determin- ation and then removes us for duties and study in the immortal scheme.

S ayc £ig it jf dany JftyA Sc too tr uf n rt J Ttrtuaf yen it T EACE—the theme of our annual the aim of our school—the reason our - school is an outstanding educational institution. Albany High School is a typical high school, similar to most of the first-class high schools of the country. Can you imagine going to a class in English or social science in our school [today where practically all the members are girls, only one or two boys? Can you imagine an industrial arts shop with, instead of the customary thirty members each period, only three or four of the very small boys? Can you imagine asenior high school football, basketball, or track team with practicallay all junior high school members? If you can imagine this, you can realize something of the conditions that existed in our school after our country entered the World War in 1917, when practically our entire group of boys left high school to en- list in the service of their country and to enter important vocations essential to the general welfare of the country. Do you realize as you pass through the main hall that the service flag with the white stars represents the fact that about one hundred and twenty-five of our boys, or eighty per cent, were serving their country during that terrible war? Just prior to that time we heard much of the saying, “We are too proud to fight”; but when we finally decided to enter the war, we found that we were not only proud to do our duty, but that our young people were considered the best fighters of any in the entire world. We feel that if our country were in danger and needed the services of our people for its defense, we would not be too proud to fight, but we would again be the best fighters that the world has seen. However, is it not much more fitting that instead of spending all our energies as some countries are doing in preparing for war that we emphasize the need for peace, that we spend most of our efforts in teaching our young people the utter folly of dictatorship, oppression, and horrors that come with modern warfare? The theme for our annual, then, is I believe appropriate in these critical times, and we hope that when our boys leave school, it will not be to engage in a horrible war, but that they will be leaving with a diploma to find themselves useful places in society, ready to enjoy peace, happiness, and the thrills of real life in the greatest country in the world. €.

McCormack, who xrn. came here in September, 1939 to assu ne the duties f t le superintendentof the schoolsin Albany. He is a very talented and experienced man along the lines of educational work. One of his most outstanding honors occurred in 1913, when he was elected president of the Oregon State Teachers’ Association. He graduated from Oregon State College, where he was affiliated with Delta Chi and Alpha Zeta, national honorary in Agriculture. His graduate work has been done at the University of Oregon,and he is a member of Phi Delta Kappa, national honorary in education- Mr. McCormack was principal of Coquille. North Bend. Bend, and Pendleton high schools. He then returned to Bend as superintendent, where he was active in educational and community work. His work here has been most satisfactory. All who have had occasion to work with him have respected him and his ability, and we hope that he will be here a long time. O. P. Romaine D. E. Nebotrail A. Cl. Senders C. E. Spence V. L. Calavan D.

In 1936 our class organized under the sophomore leadership of Wallace Hunter and Douglas Chandler. The officers at present are Wallace Hunter, president: Jim Shough, vice-president: Conny Case, secretary: Lila McCutchan, treasurer; Jimmie Sheler, representative to the Student Council: and Mr. Palmer, class adviser. Our class has many prominent people. Leading this list are Wallace Hunter, who has befen Class President for four years, and Royal Cox, our Student Body President. Bill Hobbs won local fame for himself and for our class by being selected to attend the International Youth Conference at Amsterdam. Holland, as one of the representatives from Oregon. Helen Marks received the D. A.R. good fellowship award this year. We also have several brilliant students in the different departments. Ardys Jenks and Bob Torrance share vocal honors, for both have had leading parts in the last two school operettas. Rill Hobbs and Ruth Ehrlich receive the honors in th: band group because of their splendid work. Katherine Thomas is invaluable as the school accompanist. Wendell Gronso excells in journalism, and he is also one of the popu- lar F.F.A. members along with Bill Grenz, Harold MacHugh, and Dave Madsen. In Home Economics, Dorothy Mespelt, Wilma Niemann, and Helen Willard head the class: in Industrial Arts—Rae Cleland and Delbert Weigel: in Social Science—Gus Ficq and Jeanne Miller; in Secretarial Science—Helyn Marsh, Margaret Elvsaas, and Jeanne Miller: in English—Jean Pesheck, Zoe Pettit, and Betty Barrett, editor of the annual. In athletics are Dorothy Dvorak, Elaine Harader, and Mary Evans, while the outstanding boys are Dies McReynolds, Jack Bird, Pete Fisk, Doug Chandler, Royal Cox, John Woody, and Harold MacHugh. who won the state wrestling title in the 175 pound weight. In conclusion, we admit that we are a fine class! ny Sc too A iriu in d jtfnmtaf £7 a c ■ S7 ayc Z7ivc l c J tfAanj JfiyA ScAoo i£ Airfivind jfnnun ROYAL COX Most popular boy MARY EVANS Most outstanding girl DALE STILWELL Most intelligent boy BETTY BARRETT Busiest senior LOREN MURDOCK Worst pest CONNY CASE Peppiest senior JEAN PESHECK Politest senior EDITH BAILEY Worst vamp Senior Voting HELEN MARKS Most popular girl CHET HENSHAW Handsomest boy LOIS BURCK Most intelligent girl ELAINE HARADER Best girl athlete JUNE ANDERSON Best dressed girl JIM SHELER Laziest senior JACK RALSTON Most talkative EDITH COX First to be married FERN ZEMLICKA Cutest girl WALLACE HUNTER Most outstanding boy MARJORIE A.

At Madison, after a long and bitter battle, Velda Kelly was selected as general of the soldiers during the school year 1937-38. At Central, peace reigned after Dick A. Miller had been selected as generalissimo of the Central contingent of troops for the Albany High School. A year full of battles and victories was weathered at both schools, and finally the troops received their promotion. The following year Bill Mikkelson was elected to head the happy and peaceful sophomore class. George Berks was vice-president and Virginia Bailey, secretary. Betty Haley was elected treasurer, and Bob Reid was the class representative. Miss Spence was the adviser. This year, as juniors, we again elected Bill to the office of president. Norman “Bum” Oberson was elected vice-president; Pat Stuart, secretary; Marylea Livingston, treasurer; Richard Wicks, class representative; and Mr. Hiebert, class adviser. Of course the junior class has been one of the most outstanding all through its school career! Many have invaded the sports line and have come back full of glory from their victories. Some of the more prominent ones are Norman Bum” Oberson, Bob Morris. Dick A. Miller, Kenny Roberts, and Laird Hyde. Many junior girls have also found active places in gym- nasium life. The most outstanding are Priscilla Wilson. Eva Mae Hughes, and Betty Haley. The juniors have also been well represented in the music department. Bob McClain, Tom Dawson, Bill Fuller, and Don Johnston have been out- standing in the band. Elizabeth Stubblefield starred in the opera. “Maritana,” which was presented by the glee clubs. The junior class has many representatives in debate; among them are Marjorie Andersen, Marquita Olsen. Richard Wicks, and Bob Reid. Prominent members of the Whirlwind paper staff are Markie Weatherford. Rose Bikman, Eva Mudgett, Phyllis Hancock, and Dick Miller. The junior class is made up of many types, all of them trying hard to succeed. They hope their high ideals and goals will be achieved in the coming years. jf bany Jfiy t Soboo i2lShfr tutftcf nnun Ubtrty-ortc Alexander I. Becker G. Byerley H. Case Dawson Gourley Anderson M.

In the month of September, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, two “nations” united to form an imaginary Utopia. During the next few weeks, however, our life was made anything but peaceful or pleasant by the upper- classmen who took great pleasure in selling us “seats in the auditorium” and “elevator tickets.” In organizing our Utopian government, we elected our leaders and officers by a vote of all the people. Harold Burrelle was elected president; Don Sorenson, vice-president; Pat Gilchrist, secretary; Marjorie Robe, treasurer; and Paul Kenagy, the “diplomat” to represent us in the student council. As is true of all new nations, adjustments had to occur. One of our major “adjustments” was madeat the sophomore reception. All in all, we have had an enjoyable school year, though it may not have been altogether Utopian! Athletic sophomores: Don Sorenson was a newcomer here and new to football, but he made a place for himself on the first team and kept it all year; big Earl Kennel ably filled “Jake” Prince’s position during the remainder of the season following his injury on the football field; and Denny Miller not only was outstanding in basketball and football, but played on the varsity basketball team during the latter part of the season: Bob Jacobson was noted in baseball, basketball, and football. Three sophomores who made debate teams are Jack Buker, Paul Stellmacher, and Benton Williamson. Bob Hermans, George Tycer. and Bob Jacobson are members of Hi-Y. Sophomores in the Order of A are Bob Jacobson, Junior Schlegel, Denny Miller, Bob Hermans.

Never in the history of this association have we enjoyed such a large membership or a more cooperative one. Our projects for the year have been to assist the students in purchasing a moving picture projector for use in classroom and audi- torium, to raise the student loan fund, and to reimburse our treasury. Among the most enjoyable features for this year have been the covered dish dinners held in the high school: the dinners were always followed by panel discussions. These meetings have been well attended, and the note of informality attending these dinners has made them occasions to be remembered. The mother-and-daughter dessert-luncheon was voted a success. It is the aim of the P.T. A. to sponsor such an affair each year. At this time we wish to thank each one who has helped to make this a banner year for Albany High School Parent-Teachers’ Association. MRS. BRUCE HUNTER Chairman of Finance Committee Band Boosters The Band Booster Club, composed of the parents of the band students, has had a very successful year under the direction of Mrs. Thomas Gilchrist. The officers are Mrs. Ralph Banton. vice president: Mrs. Paul Dawson, secretary: and Mr. Ed Grell. treasurer. The members of this organization have been of real assistance to the band. Among other things, they helped a great deal in connection with the State Music Contest, which was held in Albany.

S nt o Sixty-four jf Aauy +?fiy i Sc it 00 ir uj u ci nutiai “June Mad” “June Mad,” a fast-moving comedy of the trials and tribulations of believable young people and their elders in a Midwestern town, was successfully presented by the two senior class casts on May 20 and 21. Mrs. Childs was the director of the play. The play concerned Penny’s crush” on Roger, a college man, with competition provided by Julie. Chuck, the boy next door, had his troubles over a glider he had bought. The action in the play came in the way the parents handled the difficult situations. The first cast included Ruth Nissen as Penny; Royal Cox as Chuck: Edith Light and Bill Hobbs as Mr. and Mrs. Wood, Penny’s parents; John Wooddy as Elmer Tuttle, the hired man; Helyn Marsh as Effie, the maid; Theda Allen as Milly Lou; Jack Ralston as Mervyn, Penny’s young uncle; Jack Bird as Roger, a ladies’ man ; Don Beight as Chuck’s father; Edith Bailey as Julie; and Conny Case and Bob Witherite as Shirley and Ralph Wentworth.

The parade consisted of two bands, twenty floats, one from each roll room, and many additional entries. Mr. Otto directed the parade, while the Order of A boys kept the trucks, the bicycles, and the wearers of startling costumes in orderly lines. The first prize float from the Home Economics room had the theme, “The Melting Pot.” This portrayed a pot made of flowers surrounding girls dressed in colorful costumes from foreign countries. Uncle Sam pre- sided over the “Melting Pot.” Bill Hutchins, a fisherman on a bicycle, won the first prize for indi- vidual costumes. The second prize went to Dick V. Miller as Hairless Joe. The coronation of Queen Dorothy I on Friday evening was a most impressive and lovely ceremony. The eight Guards of Honor marched down the aisle, followed by the Privy Council, which included the three class pres- idents and the student body president. Each princess and her escort were announced by the messenger as they reached the stage. The princesses were Ruth Nissen. Marjorie A. Miller, Jo Hector, Patsy Stuart, Marylea Livingston, Billie Fitzpatrick, Shirley Pratt, and Pat Gilchrist. The sophomores, with a program based on Asia, depicted a Major Bowes’ Amateur Hour in China. The theme song was “Confucius Say.” Some of the outstanding amateurs were the Snake Charmers from India, the dancing girls from China, and a band from Arabia. Between acts, the girls’ tumbling group entertained with many stunts and thrilled the audience with their pyramids. The junior act was given in the form of a bicycle tour of Europe. The party of sight-seers visited Spain, Scotland. Ireland, and other European countries. The senior program carried out the idea of television. The audience saw glimpses of many parts of America-a Broadway 'act. a Canadian boy and girl, a girl yodeler, some cowboys from Texas, and a group of Negroes from Alabama. The final scene, an Oregon setting, brought the program to a close. The senior and sophomore acts tied for first place, with the junior class coming in for a close third. After the main entertainment in the auditorium, a large crowd gathered in the gym, where concessions held full sway. This brought to a close one of the most successful and highly entertaining Carnival days in the history of Albany High School. ■jf 6any CSy i Sc too tr tu nd J’f nun tSt'jr y-scuon First Row: Bird, Miller, Coach Swanson, Coach Adams, Oberson, Hutcheson.

When he graduated in 1929, he entered Willamette University, where he excelled in basketball and baseball. He earned four letters as a varsity regular. Mr. Adams graduated in 1933 from Willamette and accepted a position in the Salem Y.M.C.A. as Physical Education Director. After spending one season there he took a position as head coach in all sports in Dallas. From Dallas he came to Albany High School as head coach in basketball and baseball. Coach Adams’ boys showed great improvement at the end of the year, and the next year’s team showed new promise by overpowering the strong Corvallis Spartans in the last game. His baseball boys have turned in some fine records so far this season. Coach Tom Swanson Tom Swanson, a product of Hood River High School in Hood River, Oregon, received his first football training there, graduated in 1933, and enrolled in Oregon State College the following year. He played on the rook teams and earned his numerals in football and base- ball. For the next three years, he was a regular blocking halfback on the Oregon State varsity football team. After graduating in 1938, he accepted a position at Milwaukie High School as assistant football coach and head track coach. He was also an instructor in economic problems. This fall he came to Albany High School as head football and track coach and has already proved himself successful by coaching a team that lost only to Milwaukie and Eugene, two top ranking teams in the No-Name League. j{ 6any ScAoo Qt htriu md Httua Sije y-ntno First Row: White, Katnpfcr, Jenks, Stubblefield, Torrance.

Mrs. Johnson, the able director, was assisted by Mrs. Childs and Mr. Palmer. Katherine Thomas was accompanist. The three-act opera was laid in Madrid, and centered around Maritana, a lovely young gypsy with an even lovelier voice. King Charles II, wandering disguised among his people, was charmed by her singing and wished to reward her. Don Caesar, a young man condemned to die, was promised a soldier’s death by Don Jose, the plotting villain who wished to win the queen’s hand. The only requirement was that Don Caesar marry an unknown girl, and this he did. After many narrow escapes, Don Caesar eluded his captors and discovered Maritana, the girl whom he had married. They were happily reunited, and the king rewarded them byjmaking Don Caesar the governor of Grenada. The cast was as follows: Maritana. Elizabeth Stubblefield: Charles II, Don Garrison; Don Jose, Bill White; Don Caesar, Bob Torrance; Lazarilla, a servant, Ardys Jenks; Tony a boatman, Lynn Kampfer; Jacques, an armorer, Rae Cleland; Enrico, a captain, Alvin Kreger; the Marquis and Marchioness De Montifori, Lyman Olliver and Gladys Rawie. The dancers were Josephine Hector, Ruth Nissen, Jack Prince, and Dick McReynolds. S7 ayc tS jt y-s jf jf bany Jfriy t Sc ioo ‘flSb r iutnd J Tinua Football Blessed with a gang of spirited gridmen with ample ability, football coach Tommy Swanson molded a machine that shook the very foundations of every team it ran against. Starting the season with a dream of a backfield and a line that was less than mediocre, he made it aceam that will go down in history as really great. When autumn rolled around, there were many dire predictions of what w'ould happen to the coach and the team which possessed the line “that wasn’t there.” Unmindful of the talk, the team went to work, as per schedule, behind the high boards of Central field. Starting early in September, the Blue and Gold pigskin hopefuls toiled daily under Swanson and his assistant. Dwight Adams. The lettermen returning to the fold w'ere five fast versatile backs,Jack Bird, Pete Fisk, Donn Wilson, Dick Hutcheson, Royal Cox,and two linemen.Captain Dick McReynoIds and Dick A. Miller. On the long awaited evening when the wraps were taken off the 1989 machine,they floun- dered into University High School's Golden Tide and came out with a rather shaky 7 to 7 tie The “I told you so” boys really w-ent to wrork after this game, and the Bulldogs were classed as having about as much chance as a snowball on a hot sidew'alk of ending the season with any wins at all under their belt. After this, a shakeup in the forward wall made all the difference in the world, and the battling Bulldogs went on to win seven of the next games to be played. Being in the fast and tough eight team No-Name League for the first time, they ended up in second place with Eugene and Milwaukie tied for top spot. September 29, University Hi here. The Blue and Gold lads were inclined to take the opening game a little too easily. Final score 7-7. October 6, Tillamook here. Coming back in this game, the Swanson gang pushed the Tillamook Cheesemakers all over the turf and came out with a clean cut 38 to 0 win. October 13, Salem there. The Blue and Golds’ uncertain position in the league left nothing to the imagination when they rocked and socked Salem’s Vikings 26 to 0. October 20, Bend here. It was the good right arm of Pete Fisk that brought about the only score of the ball game, giving Albany a 6 to 0 win. Octol er 27, Milwaukie there. “Inky” Boe, a swift Milwaukie backfielder, put Albany’s backfield to shame, leaving a 14 to 0 loss for the Swanson gang. November 3, Lebanon here. Coming back with a bang, the Blue and Gold com- pletely smashed a weak Lebanon team with the largest score of the season, 46 to 0. November 10. Corvallis here. The annual Spartan-Bulldog game proved to be the real thriller of the year when the Bulldogs outscored the Maroon and Blue, 38 to 21. November 17, Oregon City here. After loafing through the first half, the Bulldogs came back to score a decisive 39 to 7 win over the none-too-strong ball club from Oregon City. November 24, Eugene there. The second blot on the Albany record came w hen the big fast Axemen from Eugene pounded out a clean cut 18 to 7 win on the Eugene field. November 30, McMinnville there. Climaxing the season, the Bulldogs walked over the door mat of the league, McMinnville, with a 38 to 12 score. It was a very fine grid season that the 1939 football machine went through. The Albany players this year made more all-star and all-opponent teams than ever before in A.H S. grid history. Dick McReynoIds, captain and right guard, w'as chosen on the No- Name League all star team and came within one vote of becoming captain of this team. He received 97 votes out of a possible 102. Pete Fisk and Dick Miller, a junior, also made this all star team, w'ith Fisk at quarterback and Miller at right end. Jack Bird and Bobby Morris both made the second string team. John Wooddy was chosen third team center. This team was picked by 102 players in the No-Name League. Eleven hall players lost by graduation or withdrawal this year are Dick McReynoIds, Pete Fisk, Bill DeVVaal, Dick Hutcheson, Willard Hulburt, Royal Cox. Harold MacHugh, Jack Bird, Donn Wilson, and John Wooddy. J t Aany Jftg i Sc Aoo 9 SAtr ivtne jrfnnna S7 ayc Seventy-one Assemblies The sophomores greatly amused the rest of the student body on September 29, when the annual Sophomore reception was held. Reverend James Earl Ladd spoke to the students on October 4. His address was con- cerned with the uselessness of the last World War. Twelve seniors were initiated into the National Honor Society in a very interesting ceremony held on November 9. In the Armistice Day Program, which was presented on November 10, Dr. C.E.Coles gave a very worth-while address. Several other numbers were enjoyed. Art Hook, diver, was introduced to the student body in a lyceum number on Novem- ber 22. Mr. Hook explained his equipment and gave many thrilling accounts of his adven- tures under the sea. The Christmas program was given by the seniors on December 22. Musical numbers comprised part of the program, and Reverend Luther was guest speaker. Another lyceum number was presented on January 8, when Mr. Edward Diil demonstrated the use of his old-fashioned potter’s wheel. Mr. Dill made several lovely pieces of pottery. Taben 8 Circus entertained the students on February 1. They presented their well trained dogs and monkeys in an interesting show. On February 5, the entire student body was entertained by girls from the Associated Women Students of Oregon State College. The students presented a clever etiquette play and also entertained with several musical numbers. This assembly followed the dessert luncheon for the senior girls given by the American Association of University Women. Mr. Nikel, a very talented whistler, entertained the students with many numbers on February 6. “Swallow the Magician” thrilled the students with his many clever tricks on February 21. He also showed how the public is fooled. Dr. Ferguson gave an interesting talk on February 22, George Washington’s birthday. On March 8, Lieutenant McCane of the United States Coast Guard told the students about the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Academy. Dr. Luther Gable then entertained the assembly with a very interesting talk on radium. He had several samples of radium he allowed the students to see. Mr. Charles Walker, president of Northwestern School of Commerce, gave a very dramatic talk on March 13 on the opportunities for the youth of today. The National Honor Society held an initiation on March 27 with thirteen seniors and eight juniors as candidates. The sophomores were honored spectators. A lyceum number, the Apollo Concertiers, entertained the student body on April 3 with many varied musical numbers. Several boys from the University of Oregon spoke on propaganda on April 1. On April 17, four girls from the University of Oregon talked about vocational education. On April 29 Mr. and Mrs. Kropp showed to the seniors the moving pictures w'hich they had taken on their trip around the world. Si'jrty-oiyAit Jxfdany Jft'yA Sc too r uttnc Basketball 1939-1940 Albany High School ended a less than a mediocre basketball season in the 1939-40 season with a record of twenty-five games lost and seven won. This year the team was under the tutelage of the canny director of athletics, Dwight Adams. At the outset of the season Adams tried hard to push his quintet through the district games to a place in the state tournament. Finding this impossible, he did the next best thing--started building for the future. With a learn composed of juniors Bobby Morris, Laird Hyde, and Kenny Roberts-- and sophomores Bob Jacobson and Denny Miller Coach Adams molded a team that next season,' 1940-1941), should be as hot as a summer sun. The seniors who received the “axe” after the dismal showing that the Blue and Gold made during the early months of the campaign were Royal Cox, Doug Chandler, Leonard Olvis, Jack Bird, Jim Shough, and Jim Sheler. Although the “win column” on the Albany High School basketball ledger wasn t overflowing, some interest was revived in the games around the Hub City hoop house. Larger crowds than usual came to watch the 1939-1940 sessions on the maple boards, and they were always rewarded by good, fast basketball games. The Blue and Golds’ biggest trouble was finding the basket; in only three games did they manage to score more than thirty points. Defensively, they held opponents down fairly well; only six times was the opposition able to crack thirty-five points. The Bullpups were guided through their schedule by the football coach, Tom Swanson.

Yell Leaders The school will lose two excellent yell leaders when Conny Case and Boh Witherite graduate, for they have had three years’ experience. These two seniors and Jerrilee Miller, who is a junior, have been our “peppy” yell leaders this year. They have led enthusiastic fans in giving encouragement to the athletes in their struggles for victory on the gridiron, on the courts, and on the field. This year the pep meetings held in the gym were very successful in arousing support and interest for the team. The yell leaders took charge and not only practised old yells but introduced many new ones. A prize for school yells was won by Kathryn Copple, and this contest did much to whet school spirit. From left to right: Jerrilee Miller. Bob Witherite. Conny Case. Perhaps one of the most important features introduced in these assemblies was a new Albany Fight Song, composed by George Bikman and Chloris Alexander. The ell leaders, by their vitality and pep, have proved their efficiency as leaders during the memorable year of 1939 1940. Wrestling The Albany High School wrestling team had one of its most active years in the history of high school wrestling during this year's season. The wrestling team under the ardent eye of Tom Swanson, who acted as wrestling coach, had a home-and-home series with both Salem and Corvallis, gaining some very much needed experience for the members of the team. Voted the most outstanding wrestler on the team for the entire year was Harold ‘•Smiley” MacHugh. Harold entered the state wrestling tournament, which was held in Salem, and gained honor and acclaim both for himself and for the high school by becoming the state champion in the 175 pound division. Members of the squad who earned their letters were Harold MacHugh, Dick McRey- nolds, Andv Patapoff, Roy VVoolridge, Darrel McClain, Robert Tuttle, Harry Hutton, Dean Chandler, Wendell Gronso, Oren Kennel, John Wooddy, and Bob Redifer.

The Bulldogs played fourteen regular games and won a total of eight for a better than average season. At the annual Strawberry Fair they finished in a tie for first place with a strong team from Sweet Home. Some of the highlights of the baseball season were home runs by Pete Fisk and Bob Morris, one-hit pitching by Fisk against Corvallis, and a no-hit. no- run game in favor of Oregon City the only team to beat the Bulldogs twice. Those who earned their letters were Pete Fisk, Kenneth Erb, Bryan Roberts, Bob McKechnie, Ed Ammon, Orris Willard, Russell McKeehnie, Roy Andrews, Jim Shough, John Wooddy, Bob Morris, and Bob Jacobson.

They sold attractive Bulldog stickers and with the proceeds sponsored a picnic in Benton Lane Park with the Corvallis High School lettermen’s club. They sponsored a whiskerino as a part of the carnival as well as a kangaroo court on Loud Sock Day for those who did not dress up. They also policed the parade and the carnival. Oneof their accomplishments was the acquisition of white sweaters for three year lettermen, something that had not been done until the present year. Officers for the year were Dick A. Miller, president; John Wooddy, vice president; and Willard Hulburt. secretary-treasurer. First Row: Wooddy. DeWaal.Coddington. McReynolds. Bird, Fisk. MacHugh. Cox. Sheler. Morris. Allen.

J’t banj So too VlS tir tutnd jfnnua £7 at c Seocnty-scuon Boys’ Physical Education For the first time in many years the physical education department for boys, headed by Coach Dwight Adams, acted in full cooperation with the plan for intermural sports, Every boy who is a member of the high school belongs to one of the sixteen groups which compose the schedule for intermural activities. These sixteen groups added together make the total membership of the Associated Bulldogs, the club which replaces the Boys’ Athletic Association. The first sport for the gym classes was basketball. The boys learned the fundamentals in basketball. It was carried into the intramural plan and into competitive action. Following in rapid succession were tumbling, volleyball, and wrestling which completed the winter sports. The spring sports were badminton, softball, golf, tennis, and archery. For the first time in the history of the high school the classes were allowed to go swimming. The swimming classes used the newly built city tank with the cooperation of the city officials. Golf With a full slate on tap at the beginning of the season, the Albany High School golf team rounded into top form. Albany, being one of the best prep golf teams in the state, entered several tournaments. Foremost of these were the state preppers’ meet at the Corvallis Country Club and the Willam- ette Valley Invitational meet held on the Laui'elwood Course at Eugene. The team, under the tutorship of Sam Glass, proprietor of the local course, held other matches with the Corvallis High School aggregation, the Willamette frosh, and quartets from both Tigard and McMinnville High Schools. Members vieing for a position on the Albany team throughout the year were Captain Kenneth Roberts, Lee Ryals, Bob Ralston, Rex McReynolds, Bob Wilson. Lloyd Voss, Dick V. Miller, and Richard Wicks.

Girls’ Honor Medals The objective in physical education is to develop all-around girls rather than mere athletes. In view of this, each year the Girls’ Letter Club members present three gold honor pins which constitute a reward of merit for each twenty-five girls in the [graduating class. Three truly outstanding girls have been elected from a number of others who were also worthy of receiving the gold honor pins. They are selected for leadership, sportsmanship, cooperation, attitude toward health habits, and general character traits. Mary Evans is outstanding in scholarship, athletics, and leadership. She was presi- dent of the Girls’ Federation during her senior year, and also president of “Seventeen,” an honorary girls’ organization. As a junior, she was secretary of her class, and as a freshman she was president of the Girls’ League. She belongs to the National Honor Society. An award for three consecutive years in tumbling in senior high school was presented to her. She has not only played on volleyball and basketball first teams, but she has made the first teams in all team activities during her high school career. Elaine Harader, who was this year’s president of the Girls’ Athletic Association, is another one of the fortunate trio. She has served the organization diligently. A trophy for three years tumbling was also awarded to her. She has played on basketball, volleyball, and baseball first teams, besides taking part in many other activities. Lila McCutchan, a senior girl with a friendly, sincere, laughing personality, is well worthy of the many offices she has efficiently filled during her high school career. During her senior year she was treasurer of her class and vice-president of the Girls’ Federation. As a junior she was treasurer of her class, and as a freshman, secretary. She is a member of “Seventeen.” In her activities she has played on volley-ball first teams. Thus Albany High School adds three worthy girls to its list of outstanding Gold Honor Pin winners. Albany High School is proud that these names will maintain the high standard of this tradition. jrf cr ij tSc ioo V S i r ioinc jfnnua Girls’ Activities Tumbling is perhaps worthy of first, mention, not because it is more important than other activities but because it is more spectacular and has caused much favorable comment from people other than just those in Albany High School. The girls'tumbling group is proficient and talented. Besides helping in the annual carnival program, the group performed during the half of the Corvallis vs. Albany basketball game and gave several exhibitions on diferaat occasions. Basketball is an activity which, perhaps, is the mosr popular of girls’ sports. Since not much time was spent in class this year, “first team ’ tournaments were scheduled for sixth period. The “all star ” team which waschosen from all classes according to individual skill was made up of Ruth Ehrlich. Ruth Nissen, Mary Evans. Eva Mudgett, Edith Light, and Jo Hector. Volleyball, also a favorite this year, resulted in an intramural tournament which all girls enjoyed. The following girls were selected as an “all-star’' team: Betty Haley, Eva Mae Hughes, Lois Burek, Dorothy Stewart. Marylea Livingston, Eva Mudgett, Mary Evans, and Ruth Ehrlich. Dancing, though somewhat a new activity proved very popular. The waltz, with its variations, was a favorite; the tango and the rhumba proved new and interesting. Without too much difficulty, the classes were soon enjoying these dances. Badminton, another comparatively new sport, made its debut in the girls’ gym classes; in fact, it proved popular with boys as well with girls. This sport is something like tennis and lends itself much more easily to class room activities. Girls’ Athletic Association Perhaps never before has the Girls’ Athletic Association taken such a prominent part in the activities of Albany High School. Under the deft guidance of Miss Osborne, this vital group, numbering approximately seventy-five, has become indispensable in school affairs. This year’s initiation was unusually extensive, as a complete day was devoted to the G.A.A. members and their pledges. This attracted the attention of the whole school. The members who had earned the privilege of wearing athletic sweaters helped to usher and to take tickets at local high school basketball games. This is a service which the club is proud to render. Incidentally, the group earning the privilege of wearing athletic sweaters is much larger than usual this year. This is truly something for which a girl may be proud, since much effort is spent in earning points which entitle her to an athletic sweater. Other special activities of this group were the swimming parties and skating parties as well as a co-ed party held in the gym. I think that I shall never hear, A sound so sweet upon my ear, As the fire bell in the middle of a test.

S7 a c StaA fj -ctgAt jtftbany JftgrA Sc Aoo A iriusitt e J nnt a r“ ■“I ■ “I r“V 1 i V We Thank You HPHE theme “Peace” is something about which every American citizen should be more thoughtful. We chose this theme for our Annual because the world is in a turmoil, and the word “Peace” is on the tongue and in the heart of every peace-lover in America. We used quotations from “God Bless America.” in our theme page to signify the different sections of America, for this song is another way of indicating love of our peaceful country. The flag on each insert page is a beloved symbol of patriotism. There are many people who have helped to make this Annual one that will give enjoyment to all its readers. The work was done by the students with the help of Miss Chase, manuscript adviser; Mr. Grigsby, typographical adviser; and Mr. Hudson, business adviser. Wendell Gronso and Rose Bikman worked continually on the printing of the Annual. The faithful type-setters were Ruth Nissen, Markie Weath- erford, Eva Mudgett, Doris Mornhinweg, Dorothy Becker, Dorothy Stewart, and Pat Murphy. These students have worked before and after school and on Saturdays. We are especially indebted to Dale Kennedy and Philip Alexander for the candid camera pages, because most of the pictures were personally contributed by these boys. Mrs. Hackleman, daughter of Mr. Grigsby, deserves honorable mention, too, for she has been invaluable to the printshop in assisting “Grigs” with the printing. Since many students who do not take journalism have been of great help in planning our annual, we want them, also, to know how much they are appreciated. We wish to thank the Peterson-Schon Engraving Company of Port- land for their helpful suggestions and for the quick and efficient work which they did for our yearbook. Many people do not know how much work there is in printing a school annual. After the editors of the different sections have written their articles, they give them to the manuscript editor, who corrects them. After the stories have been set in type, proofs are made for further corrections. When everything has been checked and “double-checked,” it is time to print the pages. But the work doesn’t stop there, for someone has to feed the press while another person places a sheet of paper over each copy as it comes to him. After twenty-four hours, the sheets are taken out, and the pages are ready to be cut. The material is then sent to Portland, where it is bound. All of the advisers and the students who worked so cheerfully on the carnival are also to be commended, for their cooperation made this year’s entertainment a financial success. The Annual is largely supported by the money raised from the carnival. We hope that you will enjoy reading this Annual as much as we have enjoyed printing it for you.
