VN THE M5555 Senior Class History Through the ages that have passed, as all good stories say, we of the class of '24, have valiantly striven that we might attain that-to a Freshman-very de- sirable status known as Seniorhoold. For four long years, more or less, we have studied HJ the arts and sciences with commendable energy, and then, in the course of time, the month of September in the year of Our Lord, one thousand, nine hun- dred and twenty-three arrived, and we again trod the paths leading to Old A. H. S., we came w'h the sense that now we were those august Seniors, whom we had envied and respected for so long. To some, the feeling was one of disappointment. The thing was not what it was cracked up to be. To each, after the first few days of enjoyment of the discomfiture of the lowly Frosh, came the realisation that the po- sition was one of responsibility as well as of enjoyment. So, throughout the year, we have found that Senior subjects require an application and perseverence, that at first may seem difficult. But with the approach of the end of the time, we know that we have been benefitted, and the ways and means have been numerous. Within us we find a new respect for those men and women who have so un- selfishly given of their time and thought as our instructors, and a new gratitude to the parents, who have given us our opportunities: a new attitude toward work, and a new desire for service. These things we have found within the walls where for many years we had walked all unconsc'ous of the treasures in store. But with the advent of compara- tive maturity has come the realisation of new desires and abilities. We might tell of the victories on the field, floor, and platform, in which we have had a party but show us any Senior Class that cannot boast of similar laurels. If we have anything of which we may be proud, can we not find 't in the hope that we have helped, not only in the past year, but also in those that have gone before, to strengthen and uphold those traditions of fa'r play and clean sportsmanship which are the life of Ashland High? Soon we will have gone. ln future years those who come after will speak- and will it be in tones of respect?-eof the Class of '24, and it is our earnest hope that we may have proved worthy of the name of Seniors and of our school. , MERRICK THORNTON You Bull Football 3-4, won letter 3-4, Vice Pres, of Class 2-4, Pres. of Glee Club 4, Operetta 4.

An icy chill swept oer the place, A sudden deafening roar, A bolt of lightning cleared the mist And there stood the class of '24, Like Commandments given to Moses, When he stood upon the hill, They sat in silence and listened, To thunder break the still. Another crack and the sunlight, Shown through the cold grey door, While there beseiged in the dimness, Sat the class of '24, One year brought a shudder, Another brought a thought, For, like the beasts in the forests, 'Twas better lost than sought. This group arose from the lowest, To the highest place and more-, They placed themselves on the annals As the class of '24, This class is known from the tropics, To the coldest place in the north, As a class who wins their battles, And brings the bacon forth. No where can you find a spirit, That heavenward can soar, So high as that behind this class, The class of '24 . So this class has left her mark, On the Ashland High School floor, Her footprints will be followed, Though her cries be heard no more This class has had so great a past, As we have said before, That none can help but wonder, At this class of '24, -V. Mc., '25 V- A Glimpse Into the Future One dreary winter evening as I sat before the fire I began to feel drowsy and it came unto me like a dream, the visions of the future. It seemed that I was trav- eling, and everywhere I went I met someone of the class of '24, who drove away the grouch from my Forlorn countenance. Here I was in Paris and blazing in the gay white way was the following, Famous Dancers of America Here, and being very curious I went to When the curtain arose imagine my surprise on seeing Rachel Jalo Swingle doing the Argentine Tango. The next on the program was indeed, because it was Bo Carlon, the famous comedian ,who had won that show. and Artro interesting such fame and honor in Ashland High for his jokes. He was quoting from Tennyson, his favorite author, Cannons to the right of them, Cannons to the left of them, Shells everywhere, Peanut shells. This was too much for my whirling brain, so immed- iately I made my way to a cathedral to seek consolation and peace, but, lo! here I found Wilbur Chapman was bishop and he told me that John Galey was a leader of the bootlegger gang in the underworld of Paris. I walked out to get some fresh air to help steady my weakened brain and body. I kept walking down the avenue and someone rudely bumped into me. On looking up to see who my offender could be, I found that it was T-Bone Caldwell, who was now a leading manufacturer of hair groom fStay combed tho mussedl so he told me I was very glad to meet him and inquired as to where and how his friend Phat Thornton was. He told me that Merrick was happily married to Ruby Derrick and had a big business selling books on How I Keep My Slender Figure, for a large Firm run by Lena McCorkle :ind Vernon Phipps, who were partners in life as well as in business. In Germany I found Isabelle Silver, a politicallleader of the I Am It party, whose platform was Give yourself all the publicity you can. In Hawaii Ruth Emery could be found teaching the canaries to sing and the natives to swim. Then I returned to America and found Robert High, the editor of Songs of a Lyre, who informed me that Raymond Carson was a prosperous celluloid stove manufacturer. All this hurt my head, so he told me Gertrude Carlton was a good doctor, not for the head, but, but for boils on the ankles. I walked along in the slums and as I approached I saw Evon Philpot selling doughnuts for the Salvation army. As I was turning the corner I stumbled over a dark object that raised a cry of want. It was Marion Costley and he told me ail his sad experiences and how he became a dope fiend. He said that Josephine Barber, who was now his wife, was earning her living, knitting sweaters for sick cats I hurried to the depot to take the train for Ashland, because I was ready to have nervous prostration. On the train I picked up a book containing One Drink of Lithia Water Is Enough by i l the noted author, Eugene Detrick. In the advertisements I found that Earl Evans was a popula: perfumer of odors collected from the chemistry room in Ashland Highg also the fact that all the people have adopted Miss Wallace's slogan, Cry and you weep, Laugh and you grin. Across the aisle from me was seated a person whose face looked very familiar and I found that it was John Churchman, the reporter and illustrator of the Whiz Bang. At last I was home, and here are some of the items of interest I found upon my return Margaret Dougherty was doing a rushing business in massaging bald headed men's hair in Sammie Davies' barber shop. Jean De Carlo was the leading elocutionist at Tolo. Keitha Brookmiller was taking a correspondence course on How to Become Popular in One Night. Ruth Aitken was licking stamps for Post- master Wagner. ivan De Armond was holding the responsible position of dog catcher for the hot dog standi Eileen Nutter was a fancy dancer in Treferen's Con- fectionery. Edith Dodge was a very high paid demonstrator of how to chew gum for the Wrigley Company. Maxine Rose was working in a basket factory. She learn- ed how to make them in high school. Genevieve Swedenburg was photographing the life of the mosquitoes at Crater Lake. Elean Kerby was drawing a large salary for removing pyrohhea from grasshopper's teeth. Alice Ruger was found clerking in Woolworth's at the cheap jewelry counter at Stienman. Marcus Woods was seen every day looking eagerly over the lists of the matrimonial bureau. Helen Sanford was searching in vain for Shorty Burnett's still of moonshine. Helen Merrill was cutting holes in doughnuts at the Bon Ton Bakery Mable Potte: was on an expedition to Dead Indian looking for the indians. Lil.ian Reimer had at last solved the problem of how to run a typewriter with your feet. Afton Madden was printing -lowers on curtain goods for Sears and Roebuck, Mary Laughlin was parked on the street of Mistletoe cranking a grind organ and crying, Pea- nuts 5 a bag, buy them while they're hot, so I am told. Mildred Gyger was wip- ing fly specks off the showcases in the P.aza Confectionery Hoyt Downing was sprinkling clothes in a Chinese laundry. Howard Hobson was heavyweight cham- pion of District No. 5. Russell Frost was the dwarf in the Ringling Brothers' Circus. Joe Neil has devoted his life to translating the Ashland High School con- stitution. Virginia Jones was trying to so.ve the g eat problem, How to Remove the Color from Blackheadsf' Ruth Fiackus has written a book on How to Keep One Always on the String and we see that Ralph Robinson is still pursuing her. Mildred Ferren has now settled down to the pleasing task of mending holes in the heels and toes of Brown socks. Ramona Wise was a movie actress at Holly- wood. She is star in When Girls Leave Home Glen Wilde was infringing upon the rights of Wesley Barry in producing his latest picture, Mamma's Boy. How long I must have been asleep, I know not, yet it took me through years of time. May all the good luck and blessings go with the class of '24, LOYALT Y We're loyal to you, Ashland High: We're Crimson and Vvhite, Ashland High: We'll back you to stand Against the best in the land.

For a time after its erection in 1904, it was used by the high school, which was moved to its pros- ent location on Thanksgiving Day, 1911. Since then the building has been in turn, the West Side grade school, and the Jun or H'gh School. In the belfry hangs the same bell which was used by the old academy. Many stories and traditions center about this, which is called the sweetest toned bell in Ashland. .tg .. I Till - 'L L W THE FRONT HA LL The first things that the lowly Frosh sees tafter passing the milk bottles in the .ront hall! are the master clock and the trophy case. You can always tell a Fresh- man by the attention which he, or she, pays to these landmarks, From the day of entry to the High School until the last of the Senior year this clock fwhen it is in working orderb calls the student to h's classes, and back again to the Study hall with tireless, if tiresome, regularity. The trophy case, holding the emblems of our victories, fills the heart of each returning grad with loyalty and love for A, H. S., and the memory of the contest in which, it may be, he helped to make it possible to bring home a symbol of success. Athletes, debators and typewriting experts have all added to the group oi cups and banners that fill the case. With the clock as an inspiration to studyfbefore the bell rings-and the trophy case as an inspiration to excellence in student activity, the front hall is a spot fa- miliar and dear to every student, past or present, of Ashland High School. n 1 1 1 1 Junior Class Roll Clark Butterfield Ruby Powell George Gillett Edith Patterson Albie Beck Riley Pittenger Esther Counter George Frances Barron Dorothy GeBauer Raymond McGee Clara Huck Thelma Perozzi Eddie Freeman Nita Downing Vernon McGee Daye Burgdorf Lawrence Wagner Loren Culbertson Leona Ahlstrom Chester Woods Catherine Pittenger Barton Frulan Laura Henry Iona Bechtell Joe Reinhart Madeline Chisholm Frank Stratton Rosina Gallatin William Scott Gains Crosby Velma Brown Robert Wright Dorothy Paddock Robert Redwine Mabel Hager Ina Farnsworth Albert Marske Hilda Hanson Chester Jackson Irma Bess Stella Suelle Kenneth Hobson Carol VanDyke Barnard Joy Marion Leach George Johnson Junior Class History In the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-two, a mob of wise little Freshmen came to the Senior High School, to make a visit of four years. After some were sent around to the back door a few times and others were scoffed at by the high and mighty Sophomores, they came down to earth, as it were, and recognized their position. Soon they became accustomed to the habits of the oc- cupants ot that great Temple of Learning, and continued on their way, all by their meek little selves. This, however, did not stop them from generously contributing members of their class to all of the school activities. During their third year they gave seven boys and two girls to basketball, nine boys to football, one boy to debate, a boy and a girl to the anniversary play, the yell-leader, and the athletics business manager, which proves their ambition and loyalty to their school. Thus the class of '25, groped and found their way in the dark midst of Higher Education. The same spirit of industrious loyalty shall prevail throughout the coming years and the Seniors of the year ot '25, will prove themselves worthy of being students of the Red and White. 1 W , 1 J 1 1 W , 1 1 Gene Alstead Clyde Beeson Melvin Borah Jessie Baker Philip Bryant Daye Burgdorf Frances Chisholm Velma Clapp Charles Clary Graydon Crews Homer Culbertson Max Crowson Iris Deter Helen Detrick Elmer Dix Horace Dunn Therone Faris Walbeit Flackus Sophomore Class Roll Frank Moore Rosetta McGee Earl Nutter Lynda Oeder Jane Pollard Margaret Perrine Roland Parks Albert Petit Alta Pickett Helen Pulse Vera Reddington Dorothy Reid Esther Rightner Delphine Sackett Charlotte Switzer Gylda Selby Isabelle Terwilliger Charles Tilton Virginia Frost Ella Garwood Dorothy GeBauer Hubert Gillmorc Ruth Green Frances Green Elbert Greer Doris Hitchcock Clara Huck Earl Edsall Arlene Johnson Mildred Johnson William Kannasto Mae King q Lola Kelly Bernice Kincaid Lucille Laughlin Kenneth Madden Beulah Medley Sophomore Class History In the years of 1923 and 1924, the boys and the girls of the Sophomore class have more than proved themselves worthy of being students of Ashland High School. Although only four class meetings have been held so far, the class has accom- plished all that could be expected, At the first class meeting the follow'ng officers were successful in being elected: Miss Wheeler '-'--- --,.- ,,,,, C 1 HSS AdViSOI' Charles Clary ------------ President Henry I-10111135 ,.,,, ..................... V ice PI'9Sid6Il'E Albert Petit ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,,.,,,.,,,..,,.....,.,..,.... ........ .... S e cretary and Treasurer To these, the students attribute the success of the class. The next meeting was called by the president to appoint committees to take charge of the Freshman Party. Three committees, composed of three students each, were appointed for the following duties: to provide entertainment at the party, to give special invitations to the teachers, and to take charge of the refreshments. The committees worked earnestly on their separate tasks until everything was plan- ned for the party. A joint meeting was then called by the president for both Soph- omores and Freshmen. The Freshmen were told when and where the party was to be, and then excused in order that the Sophomores might continue their meeting. Eight students of the class were appointed at this time to take charge of the initiation, The refreshment committee then ordered all the latest spices and mixtures, which were available at a small cost, for the class had to feed one hundred hungry Freshmen. The night arrived and Freshmen all flocked to the door of the gymnasium. Each Freshman was blindfolded and put through the test on the stage. Spices were found to be running short, so, to the delight of all, c.dler and pumpkin pie were used as substitute. All the Freshmen then went home feeling as big as the Seniors, as the initiation was over. The class debaters were next in order and again the class showed up well, taking second place. The next meeting called by the president was for the purpose of getting the students interested in the ticket selling contest, sponsored by the Chamber of Com- merce, to help the Ashland Winter Fair. Through the three days of canvassing the Sophomores showed themselves to be the best sellers by winning the first prize of twenty dollars. Several members of the class participated in athletics and two members held places on the school debating team. This is the best record made by a Sophomore class in Ashland High School, but just watch the class when the students are Juniors! -L. E.

We numbered then about one hundred, and our thoughts as to what to expect in the future from the sophomores were far from pleasant. But it was not as bad as we had visioned, for the Soghomore Class either felt sorry for us or'had not recovered from the shock of being Freshmen themselves, anyway, they treated us as almost their equals. As soon as things had settled down somewhat, we called a class meeting and elected Lester Beck, presldentg Everett McGee, vice-pregidentg Helen Chaney, sec- retary-treasurerg Aubrey Miles, sergeant-at-arms, and Miss Heyes, class advisor. The Sophomores woke up and greeted us with an initiation at which black grease-paint and vinegar were the principal features. Soon after the Christmas vacation we gave the Sophomores a reception at which everybody admitted having an especially good time, as it was under tl1e supervision of Miss Blumenfeld. We have had our share in the doings of the school. We have made a very good. showing in the class debatesg our affirmative team composed of Lester Beck and Lydia Smith won from the Sophomores and Seniors and our negative team com- posed of Everett McGee and Gordon McCracken won from the Juniors. We have been represented in our girls' basketball by Jean Stratton. Quite a few Freshmen were in the Operetta and one of our number, Lynn Neeley, was in the play given before the student body at Thanksgiv.ng. We have had our share in the school's accomplishments and may be said to be the hope of Ashland High School in future years, The Hawthorne School The oldest school building in Ashland, used by the first six grades. Called at first the East Side School, the name has been changed to what it is at present. Due to the number of pupils attending, it has been necessary to use a nearby build- ing as an annex, making the capacity of the Hawthorne system ten rooms in all, 'Y 5 f N, ,A k ,yy X W ' if 1 Y' , ff of Plf ml X ll if X ff up '-ni fam X X XV!

Falls, gave Ashland a promising tie score of 13-13. Although unable to win from the Alkalians, the local boys were in no way discouraged, as they were the second team in four years to really even as much as get a balanced decision with them. The game played in nearly six inches of mud, adding much color and beauty to the scene. The Klamath school was host to a huge duck dinner prepared or the local boys, followed by a high school dance. ASHLAND 6--GRANTS PASS 7 On Oct. 13, Ashland met defeat by a team who had been their victims since 1918. The Grants Pass men were particularly sfrong on the line, and breaking up passes, and won the game on a goal kick. Ashland scored in the second quarter, and the Blue and White in the first, though the home boys failed to kick the goal which would have tied the game. ASHLAND 26-KLAMATH 12 The return game with K. Falls, Oct. 20, was a comp'eie revival, the Ashland team running up 26 points to the visitors' 12. It was one of the hardest fought games of the season, and too murli cred t clnnog he given the visitors for the hard fast game they played. Ashland scored her 1'oin s in the first three quarters and Klamath in the fourth. ASHLAND 6-GRANTS PASS 6 On Oct. 27, the Ashland eleven journeyed to Grants Pass where the northern team again kept them from victory, though this time by a tie score of 6-6. In the last quarter Chapman blocked a punt and scored a touchdown, breaking an even score. The game was rather evenly matched, both sides making several long runs. though the visiting team made the greatest yardage. ASHLAND 0-MEDFORD 17 The humiliating defeat of the season, however, was suffered Armistice Day, at Medford. Although superior on fhe offensive and outweighing their opponents. they lost the game on costly fumbles. Time after time possible scores were discouraged by unlucky fumbles, and the Medford team taking advantage advanced their score to 17. ASHLAND 12-ROSEBURG 0 The third home game, played w'th Roseburg, Nov. 17, brought forth the real ability of the team, when they scored twelve points on the team who swamped Grants Pass and so nearly fractured Medford. The northerners were adept at using the forward pass and several times nearly scored. ASHLAND 10--MEDFORD 12 Thanksgiving day at Ashland ended the hardest fought game of the season, and probably one of the fastest and best games ever witnessed between the two schools. Clean sportsmanship was predominant, and the very peak of friendship between the old time rivals was reached. Ashland counted on a touchdown and a field goal, and Medford on two touchdowns, both without goal kicks. Football Personals WILBUR CHAPMAN-Tackle To our captain we owe the credit of guiding a successful, though not an entirely victorious team, through many a hard fought game. He was always there when needed and proved as he did last year his skill as a linesman. CLEUN CALDWELL--Quarter T-Bone has great talent as a quarter and led the team through many a per- ilous position by his brainy maneuvering. He started the season as a second string man. but soon earned promotion by ability to think quickly and accurately, CHESTER WOODS--End A veteran of two years, Chet showed a wonderful ability at pulling in passes. He started the season as end and played st.aight through in the same position. Chet will be back next year as indispensible as ever. ELMER DIX-Guard A mainstay in the line, Dix crushed many a pitiful opponent, as many of the second strlng will verify. A letterman ol last ycar, Elmer will again be with us next year, a living terror to his opponents. SAM PRESCOTT-Center Always awake, and with a steady aim. Sam snapped many a winning ball into the back Lield. Always in peifect training he proved popular in the game both as a center and as a punter. Sam will play next year. MELVIN G1 IODI N -Guard Although a new arr val from Hi.lsborough Big Boy was one of the ob- stacles of the line. He proved indispensible as a guard, and more than once proved a sorrow to unlucky opponents. Melvin has Zefi for home again and is leaving u, big hole in next year's team that will prove hard to fill. ERMOL CARLON-Tackle Bo played his last game Thanksgiving, and his leaving s the giving up of a fighting fool. Bo proved staunch and reliable, and could always be depended on in a crisis. He was a hard fighting, hard hitting man, with a real Red and White backbone. HOWARD HORSON-Half Hobby, though disabled most of the season, proved as he has bejore, his abil ty as an end or half. No matter how tired the team, or how big the oppon- ents, he could always be relied upon to haul in yardage. This is Hobby's last year, and his going will leave a vacant position hard to till. MERRICK THORNTON-Full A survivor of last year's squad, The Ox has made a new name for himself in the happy way with which he manages the backfield. His vacancy in next year's game will leave a sorry hole beh nd the line. MELVIX BORAH-End Starting the season several weeks late, Borah played his firgt game on the line, but was later placed on end because of his wonderful knack at .inding the DigSkiI1. He proved a fast, sure player, who could always be depended upon to get through the line and do his stuff. THOMAS BRYANT-Half A new man at Ashland, Tom, gained fame as a sprinter, and mofe than once used his legs to advantage. As a staunch supporter of the Crimson and White he kept good training and put his whole effort 'nto the game. RALPH ROISISON-End Indispensable as an end, Jack was a master at trailing off long passes, and more than once made necessary yardage for a scoring point, He is another man who will be absent from next year's squad, and he will leave a vacancy hard to fill. WAYNE RAMSEY-Half Allhough young in the game Ramsey was a veteran of last year's second squad, and showed up brilliantly as a half. He was an adept at plunging through impen- etrable masses and won a much earned letter. More than once he showed up in 5. crisis and forwarded the ball for w nning yardage. RILEY PITTENGER-Manager To Riley we owe the credit of bringing a team through a successful Iinanciau year. He proved a faithful wo ker and was always on hand when needed. He proved a great asset to the school in the business-like way in which he managed the tickets, and fingered the coin, Basketball Summary ASHLAND 30-ALUMNI 23 The debut game of the season was played with the Alumni January 11. The latter used the line up that Look the state championship two years ago. They lost the game 23-30 to the team work of the Red and White, although they had had but a few weeks practice. The score at the end of the first half stood 10-11 in favor of the Alumni, but by fast playlng the school athletes gained a good lead and ran up the winning chalk. Teamwork and persistancy won for Ashland. McFLUl'D 21--ASHLAND 35 The first scheduhd game of the yea: was played with McCloud, January 19. The southerncrs, although fast for a small team, lacked the teamwork and skill of of the Red and White players, so the game was rather a one sided contest. The score at the end of the first quarter was 2-6, and by the end of the half had raised to 8-20. The second team was substituted in the third quarter, and they, also, ably defended the co ors of the A. H. S. SALEM 33--ASHLAND 12 The upstate chazztps came to Ashland with a fo'm entirely out of Southern Oregon class. They won the iirst night's game on sensat onal shots from nearly any place or any posiQion on the floor, Besides this they used a five man defense that could no more be pierced by the criss-cross of the locals, than could their un- canny accuracy be flustraied. The game was the first of the season to be played on the larger Armory floor, and as a result the boys were placed at a big handicap. ASHLAND 22-SALEM 25 On the following night, however, the Red and White acrobats led the north- erners to such a running contest, that by the end of the half the score was Salem's, 7-10. The locals displayed a much better brand of ball than on the previous night's game., and the competitive guarding between the two fives was close, The last half vas the most exciting of any game ever witnessed on an Ash- land floor. Both teams played faultlessly, and, when the final whistle blew there were no disappointed sighs of defeat on either side. ASHLAND 14-EUGENE 22 When the Eugene five journeyed from home, February 1, they extracted a. dif- ficult victory from the Red and White. They displayed good form on the floor, though when the game started, with their second team matched against the first string of the Ashland five, they proved unable to score. The first team was re- placed, but the half ended Ashland's 9-10. The last quarter lost for the school, when the latter tossers became rather wild, and the visitors made basket after basket. ASHLAND 19-ROSEBURG 34 The first conference game was lost 19-34, when they bucked the Roseburg aggregation, February 8, on the home floor. The train was delayed., and the latter failed to arrive till nearly eleven o'clock, rather tired but still fighting, The first half ended 17-7, Ashland having lost four baskets because of unlucky foul whistles. The last quarter, however, turned out to be a series of successes for the visitors, when they shot basket after basket in a true display of dazzling luck. ASHLAND 33-I'. OF 0. l-'RUSH 21 The grea victory in the annals of high school basketball, came when the Ash- land five defeated the University Freshmen in one of the outstand'ng games of the school. From the first minute of play till the last call of the bugle, the great su- periority of Coach Hughes' new lineup was evident. Throughout the half, however, the score remained close, and, when the halt' ended Ashland's 15-16, excitement became furious. Shooting sensational ball the next half, they held the Freshmen to a 16-22 quarter, and in the last period won the game by an easy margin, ASHLAND 13--MEDFORD 33 Throughout the Medford games the team was held back by a bad 'nfection, that had gone through several of the players. The first game, February 22, at Med- ford, both teams battled fiercely for sup:-emacy, though the closer guarding of the Craters finally proved dominant. The half ended 14-7. The last period gave the win to Medford, when several of the Ashland players became so weakened under the strain that the home team had but little difficulting in scoring. ' ASHLAND 13-MEDFORD 22 The second night's game at Ashland, February 23, turned out to be a much faster contest than the first. The quarter ended 5-3 and the half Medfords 9-T. The last period was the most exciting of the ent're game, however, and, as time out was called the score tied. 11-11, and hopes for victory ran high. In the last quarter, the visitors gained a lead and in a dazzling streak of luck tossed basket after basket for winning chalk. ASHLAND 30-MEDFORD 24 In the following week, the third of the series with Medford was played at the local Armory. The better team was noticeable from the start, and when the half ended, 17-7 for the A. H. S., victory was assured. The guard ng the Craters usually featured, was shattered by a new form used by Ashland, and the shots of the visitors were few and ineffective. The last half,however, the Red and Black took advantage of the weakening condition of the team and began bringing up her score, Th.- result was a 24-30 victory for the Red and VVhite. ASHLAND 11-MEDFORD 19 On Marc.h.1, the team journeyed to Medford, where they inet a peculiar and un- expected defeat. The first quarter was played with the only point by Medford, scor- ed on a foul, and, when the half ended 2-2, still without a field goal, expectat ons on both sides were of the highest. The last half, however, broke the charm. Medford gained a good lead, and both sides began scoring. When the Medfordites had gained a superior lead, they began a rather infamous game of keep away, to avoid the chances of a rival score. Thus ended the seres with Medford. ASHLAND 18-ROSEBURG 35 The last game of the season, March 4, completed the year. Three of the first string men were unable to play, though the quickly assembled line-up made a dies- perate effort to fill their places. In spite of the fight put up by the Red and White, they were unable to hold the fast northern team, and for the eigh-th time, they met defeat. Thus ended he season of wenty-four----rather unsuccessful, yet eventful, Basketball Personals YVAYNE RAMSEY-Guard King was the dazzling star who never let a shot slip by. He was famed for his ability to cage long shots. We shall see him again. RALPH ROBINSON-Forwarll Although a second team man, Hobby was one of the fastest on the floor, and won many a game with his speed and good looks. l 1 FRANK MOORE-Center Interchanging between center and forward, Moore made l1is debut letter in his Sophomore year. He always made his basket. CHESTER XVUODS-Guard V Chet was always on the lookout. and played an impenetrable guard. He al- ways sneaked up on a basket or two in spite of his position. CLEON CALDWl-IIAL-Fon-wan-tl The shining star that lit the team on its way to victory was T-Bone. Steady and sure, he was always a point maker for A. H. S. He leaves us th's year. WILBUR CHAPMAN-Center Chappy leaves a long record behind him. He was the mainstay of Ashland athletics, and won himself fame by his grit and determination. LETTER GIRLS lt does not seem necessary to say that it was because of Miss Blumenfeld's excellent coaching that the girls were able to represent the Red and White so well. Since she has been with us, she has produced winning teams, which lost but one game in two years. Genevieve Swedenburg-center Jenny was admired by every crowd that saw her play, and her ability to tip the ball was marvelous. M.ld1-cd Ferrin-side center Mickey was always ready to catch the center's tip-Off and knew how to get it to the forwards of the Red and White. Maxine Rose-forward Macky was the sparkle of the team, always safe, and sure that she could slip her shots through the hoop. Gene Stratton-forward This is Gene's first year at Basketball and we all expect from her a. splendid career as forward. Ruth Flackus-guard Ruth's forwards always had a hard time to dodge her since she almost seemed to be their shadow. Gertrude Carlton-guard , Gertrude will long be remembered as one of the best guards in the history of A. H. S. Personals Miss Blumenfeld issued an early call for basketball girls to which a large number responded. A lively series of class games were played which aroused the interest of all the girls in school. The Sophomores beat the Freshmen girls, the Seniors won from the Juniors and the Freshmen, then the Juniors walloped the Freshmen. The Sophs outclassed the Juniors but were brought down to earth by the Seniors, who wiped them out completely, thus establishing their cham- pionship of A. H. S. From these class teams was chosen a squad of eighteen girls, which deserve worthy mention, The squad made the varsity team the championship team of Southern Oregon, for if it were not for the loyalty, good sportsmanship, and the strict training of these eighteen girls, the varsity team would have been a com- plete failure. At the end of the regular basketball season, so that all girls might have a chance to be a member of a basketball team, various teams were organized in the Physical Education classes, designated by various names such as: Spark Plugs, Jazzy Janes, Gym Rats, and the Goofs. A feed was given by the High Schools which was attended by a large number of High School girls, in honor of the var- sity team and the rest of the squad. This year has been one of the most success- ful in the history of Ashland High, and we all hope to keep girl's athletics as alive and prosperous as it has been heretofore. Girls' Basketball Summary ALUMNI 19-ASHLAND 32 The Alumni played a good game but as they were not keeping up in training they could not keep pace. GRANTS PASS 15-ASHLAND 17 This game was fast and close and good team work was played on both sides. ROSEBURG 10-ASHLAND 58 Due to good playing our girls won from Roseburg with a decisive score. MEDFORD 18-ASHLAND 23 In a snappy comeback, Ashland defeated the Medford girls at the Medford Armory. ROSEBURG 16-ASHLAND 26 By superior teamwork, the Ashland girls won the last game of the season, thereby Winning the Southern Oregon Championship - w D A Xe 5 - Q, 1, f f - Urganizations and Jlctivities Department and Activity Heads Glee Clubs .,,.

Typing The typing team proved that Ashland High School doesn't live on her repu- tation when they again brought home a cup from the contest at Corvallis. This time it was second prize but owing to the large compeition it was indeed a great accomplishment. Miss Black is to be commended for her ceaseless effort in tran- ing the contestants, which could only have been awarded with success. It was through the work and co-operation of the students and Miss Black that it was pos- sible for them to bring the honor to Ashland High School thait they did. Besides the team winning honors, Lillian Reimer won the State Championship, showing that she was the best High School typist in the State of Oregon. She was awarded the gold medal given for the first place, and also received twenty-five dollars from the Underwood Company, who thus showed their appreciation of the fact that she won first place on an Underwood machine. At the County contest held March 22, there were three divisions made, that is, Second term, Third term, Fourth term. The results of this contest were as follows: Second Term-First place-Charles Tilton, 473 second place--George F. Bar- ron, 40.85 third place-Eunice Turnlow, 36.6. Third Term-First place-Gertrude Carlton, 51.35 Second-Arthur Lang, Med- ford, 48.63 Third-Lorraine Gerhardt, Medford, 45. Fourth Term-First Place-Lillian Reimer, 69.13 Second-Mildred Berber, Central Point, 51.15 Third-Aileen Crawford, Medford, 49.8. Also on the same day the shorthand contest was held, of which Ed'th Dodge won second place in the first year contest, with a percentage of 97 3-4. The State Typing Contest was held the 12th of April at Corvallis, It was at this contest that the team won the loving cup for the school, Ashland was the only team who won honors two successive years. The rates for the schools were: Salem, rate 57.3 Ashland, rate 54.9 Coquille, rate 49.5 In the individual honors, Lillian Reimer won the first place with a rate of 70.8. Charles Tilton won th'rd place in the Junior Division with a rate of 52 and received a silver medal and a 610 gold piece. The other members of the team were Carol VanDyke and Buelah Medley. If Ashland can keep the second prize cup for three years, it will remain here permanently. As there is such good material left from the Junior Division of this year's team, they intend to go next year determined to bring back as well as the individual honors awarded, also the First State Prize loving cup, given to the best team. Debate The debating team have progressed farther this year than any 02 the debating teams thus far. Although they havc had some hard competition, they have suc- ceeded in winning all of them up to the present time. The debate with Salem has not yet taken place, but up to this time, the team has the remarkable record of not having lost a point in any decision. Miss Wheeler's ceaseless effort and compe- tent coaching have in a large way made this possible. The first debates were those in the district, which included Phoenix, Med- ford, Grants Pass and Ashland. Ashland succeeded in winning this series with a total of four decisions with fourteen points. The next highest was Grants Pass w'th a total of four decisions with ten points. After district debates were completed those between the districts were sched- uled. Ashland debated Bonanza here and won the decision unanimously. This de- termined Ashland winner of Southwestern Oregon. The question for this debate was, Resolved: That the policy of Federal subsidies to the states accompanied by Federal supervision should be abandoned. For the district debates the question was, Resolved: That the cabinet system of state government should be adopted in Oregon. The debate with Salem on May 5, resulted in a 2-1 decision in favor of the northern team. The contest was held in Commerce Hall at the University or Oregon.

Doran, Vestel, Code, Beck, Spindler Gperetta In Old Louisiana, was given in the High School Gym, January 24, 1924, after many weeks of hard practice. This musical comedy, directed by Miss Marst- ers, was sponsored by the Glee Clubs and the leads were portrayed by students belonging to these organizations. The play opens when Rose Farley QEileen Nutterj adopted daughter of Pilot Farley fHarold Wilhitej has grown to womanhood. These two were the only sur- vivors of the wreck of the ill fated steamer, Winona, which occurred when Rose was three years old. Rose and Richard St. John, iMerrick Thorntonj a young Louisiania sugar planter, are in love. The overseer of Sans Souci Simon Scudder iRalph Rob- insonl also loves Rose. Because she refuses his attentions, he schemes, assisted by Jack Martin fJoe Neill and a shady lawyer from New Orleans, Holly Timms fRobert Wrightb to claim that Rose is an octroon slave, purchased by Martin and sent to h'm on the Winona. Rose, unaware of Scudder's plot, refuses to marry Dick because she is ignor- ant as to her parentage. Other delightful features were furnished by the several choruses. The cos- tumes as well as the music were most attractive. The music was furnished by the High School Orchestra and the dances were directed by Miss Blumenfeld. The most interesting of the dances was a group of dances, each representing a foreign country. Forensic Play The day before Thanksgiving, the Forensic Society gave a play before the student body. The title of the play was, The Thanksgiving Dinner. It was the story of two children, who wanted to have a Thanksg ving dinner, and who wanted it more than ever when they got a letter from a cousin they had never seen, saying she would be there on Thanksgiving Day. The grandfather, tiring of solicitors and farmers and the persistent nagging of his grandchildren makes a bargain with them. He agrees to the proposition that if he says Thank Heaven five t'mes they may have the dinner. The children keep an eye on him and of course their desires are fulfilled, but not until after the cousin arrives and proves to be an old maid.

Thomas from the story of the same name by Alice Duer Miller, and given as the Senior play, April 18. The story is written around a Virginia family of the old aristocracy, by the name of Daingerfield, who, finding themselves temporarily embarrassed, financially, decide to rent their home to a rich Yankee. One of the conditions of the lease by the wel!-to-do New Englander stipulated that a competent staff of white servants should be engaged for his sojourn at this stately home. This servant question presented practicaliy insurmountable difficulties and one of the daughters of the family conceived the mad-cap idea that she, her sister and their two brothers shall act as the domestic staff for the wealthy Yankee. Olivia Daingerfield, who is the ringleader in the merry scheme, adopts the cognomen of .lane Ellen and elects to preside over the destinies of the kitchen. Her sister, Elizabeth, is appointed housemaid. Her elder brother, Paul, the butler, and Charley, the youngest of the group is appointed to the position of bootboy. When Burton Crane arrives from the North, accompanied by Mrs, Falkener, her daughter and Crane's attorney, Tucker, they find the staff of servants to possess so many methods of behavior out of the ordinary that amusing complications begin to arise immediately. O1ivia's charm and beauty impress Crane above everything else and the merry story continues through a maze of delightful incidents until the real identity of the heroine is finally disclosed, but not until Crane has professed his love for his charming cook, and the play ends with the brightest prospects of happiness for these two young people.

The Frosh were securely blindfolded and escorted to the stage Where they were smeared with charcoal. Next came a dose of vinegar and red peppers which made an extremely hot mixture. The victims were then told that an ancient egg was to be broken on their heads. Following the cracking of the shell came a del- uge of water upon the poor Frosh. after which a yard long paddle was applied to each in turn. A piece of green ribbon tied to the hair of each, distinguished the Freshmen from the rest. The last number on the initiation program consisted of each Freshman being forced to jump six flights of stairs by jumping off the springing board. After the initiation Miss Blumenfeld conducted the basketball games, the victory of which went to the Freshman class. After playing three deep, and rolling peanuts across the floor, everyone pur- took of refreshments oi' pumpkin pie and cider. Forensic Party The Forensic Society had a party February 1, for the purpose of initiating the new members. The party was held in the High School. The new members were blindfolded and led through the upstairs halls. They were required to stumble over numerous chairs and were finally taken in front of the stage in the Gym and were told to repeat a pledge. After the initiation stunts and after several games had been played, refresh- ments of cake, salad, and punch were served. After lunch, short talks were gin-n by the chaperons, Mrs. Rosa Galey, Mrs. Louis Dodge and Miss Phila Hall, also by the President, Vice President and Secretary of the Society, and by those debat- ers who were present.

The last things of the season were the Commencement exercises in which both clubs took a part.

They say my hair is falling, My teeth are going fast, But still I've found contentment, In solitude at last. I drink the bracing Neptune, And chew the bark of trees, I eat of nature's pork and beans, And honey of the bees. I eo to bed at seven, And rise at nine or ten, I lie and stretch an hour or more, And go to sleep again. I never chop a stick of wood, I never have to cram, I keep the fires of gladness Burning where I am.

X IO . is 7-5 Ji, - Enchantment I had been travelling the South Seas for months, searching for an island, an island fond in my memory, and yet linked with a certain horror. A horror of driiiting bodies, of struggling humanity and of frenzied shrieks, mingled with the fruitless commands of officers doing their best to launch the tangled life boats. Horrors of many days of drifting in the sluggish, dangerous waters, without food, or drink, until finally picked up by a boat of kindly natives. Then came other memories. Memories of many wonderful nights, spent under that great orange ball of such eternal bliss-etho moon-and now- Once more I had found it. This island of paradise of mine, Once more I was to wander about, spell-bound under the charm of its magic moon. Once more to hear the crooning of the southern wind, once more to listen to the friendly patter of the natives, and to thrlll at the weird throb of their drums. There it was, not more than a mile off. I could see those same familiar palm trees, that long sandy beach, the small grass, and bamboo huts, and the same row of native canoes, as before. Everything looked the same. I thought of how glad they would all be to see me back again. As I neared the island I thought of the last night that I had spent there. It was one of those quiet, peaceful nights, so seldom to most countr es. The huge, of such celestial magnificance stood tar out over the water, smiling down On us in such a soft, mellow light, that it must have made him blush with pride to see how we appreciated his land. The tiny waves that danced so merrily over its golden pathway, seemed to be keeping time to the croon ng whisper of the velvety breeze in the treetops, and the answering call of the murmuring brook. They seemed to fill my soul with contentment, with joy at being alive, and with a desire of doing nothing but sit and take in the magical illusions of this heavenly orange orb paradise of mine. But I was drawing near. I saw a number of figures gathered on shore, waving their arms and shouting at me. How glad they would be to see me back. As I drew nearer I noticed a slight change in the surroundings. The trees seemed a little thicker, the foliage a little denser, and more huts than before. That showed what time would do, I thought. I anchored my yacht, and lowered a boat. The shouting inceased. I felt that they were giving me a warm reception. Suddenly a number of warriors appeared running from the huts, waving their spears wildly. A token of friendship no doubt. Beaching my boat I turned to greet them with a lifted hand. I was greeted with a shower of spears. It was not till then that I realized my mistake. I turned and ran toward the boat. But it was too late. With a whoop they were upon me. A spear end crashed upon my head, and with a faint cry I sank to the ground. I had discovered the wrong island! I put this article in a closed bottle one evening, and set it to sea on the out- going tide' If anyone finds it I hope they will take pity on an unfortunate man and try to look me up. I saved myself from the cooking pot by becoming a native medicine man. Hoping this is found, I am Vernon McGee TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN The night hung low o'er the ocean wide Its denseness gathered with the rising tide, Billows of clouds held an east-ward course Out of the dark came the night's discourse. The wailing wind swept the shore with its breathg The pounding surf spoke words of death Mariners out on those rolling waves Hearing the surf became thoughtful and grave Steer to the lee-ward, shouted the mateg Each soul aboard fought the hand of fate. Slowly the ship to the shore was drawn In the darkest of hours, just before dawng Breakers were running high on the coast Just before daybreak, all would be lost. All hope is lost we've all done our best The fate of we sailors' in God's hand doth rest. Daybreak had come: light filled the east On the bright morning had settled calm peace. Terror had liftedg man's work had failed, Where he was the weakest, the Omnipotent prevailed. -Homer W. Culbertson. MEMORIES OF SCHOOL DAYS I sat alone in the firelight In the quiet eventide And away in the mystic dreamland My fancy wandered wide. And as the shadows deepened In the lonely little room My thoughts shut out the darkness My dreams dispelled the gloom. And back in the dear old Convent, Shut in by a high gray wall, A child, I sing in the garden, And play in the chapel hall. And the hours pass on unheeding. With no greater care for me Than the simple tasks of childhood. Ah, life was a sunny sea. But the childhood days were num- bered The child into maiden grown VVould pause in the dusk of the evening And think of the world unknown. Then the vesper bell would echo, Thro' the valley, o'er the hillg And lost in love's devotion When all around was still, She knelt in the old cathedral, Where the candles softened glow Beanied from the snowy altar Bathed in beauty below. And the Holy Sisters' chanting To Our Lady, swayed her soul With 1nusic's' rythmic motion And the memories would roll. lk! ngled with Fragrant innocence, From the perfumed censor swing Rising with the Tantum Ergo Sweetest words on mortal tongue. But the music dies in echoes And the muffled solemn knell, Proclaims the service over Oh! beautiful vesper bell! Ah, but the spell is broken. And I am again in the room, Where only the firelight's flicker Shuts out the darkening gloom. With a sigh for the dream that has vanished, And a tear for the old school days, I pile new knots on the embers, Till the fire burns in ,a glaze. The evening lamps are lighted And all's so full of cheer, That I know by my own heart's beating All that I love is here. -Ione St. Clair. Essay and Oratorical Contests This spring, among the many activities in which the students have taken part mere the National Peace Time Patriotism Essay and the National Oratorical Contests. Every student in every high school in the United States was compelled to take Dart in one of these contests. The first prize in the local Peace Time Patriotism contest was won by a Senior, Miss VVallace. Miss VVallace is a new student in Ashland High this term and has proven her loyalty and pleasing attitude toward the school. The second prize was awarded to Miss Medley, winn'ng more honors for the Sophmore class. In the Oratorical Contest We nearly reached the top and Ashland as well as the High School certainly appreciates the representation given her by Mr. Galey. Mr. Galey won the local, county, and district contests. In the State contest, which was held at Portland, Mr. Galey was awarded second place. He was graded with 22 D0'nts while the winner, a Salem boy, was given 19 points, The third place in the Contest was taken by a boy representing Jefferson High of Portland. He was graded with 45 points. N 95 X - -J ,N l A gl 554 lt? icy ,J Bo- What's your brother doing now? Dumbell- He's in jail. Bo- How come? Dumbf For opening a pool hall.
