Ashland High School - Rogue Yearbook (Ashland, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1926 volume:

In this, the 1926 volume of The Rogue, it has been the aim of the ' 26 Staff to consoli- date into the pages of this book a record of the past School Year: one that we who are now Seniors may look back upon, to cherish the events of our earlier life and profit by the mistakes zee made. We sincerely hope that this book will en- dure Father Time and will aid those in whose hands the future Rogues fall. THE STAFF ' 26 To those of Ashland High who have advanced all worthy enterprises offered by the student body, the faculty and the school board do we dedicate this 1926 Rogue Superintendent George A. Briscoe, 15. S , M. A. Mr. Briscoe is a natural leader of young people, and his good work during the years that he has worked with us has been an in- spiration to every student. All students admire Mr. Briscoe for his friendliness. When he is among us. he is a fine entertaining fellow. We hope that he will remain Superintendent for many more years. Principal Benjamin Forsyth Under the guidance of Mr. Forsythe, the school lias main ained discipline thai is envied by most schools. A friend to everybody, he is always ready to help whether ii be on the ath- letic Held or in the school-room. The class of ' 26 owes much of its success to Mr. Forsythe, our principal. E. Templin A.

And walked on through unseen. The first few weeks were fairly hard As every freshman knows. The upper Classmen did their part To make our dumbness show. But soon we learned the many things That come with high school life; We passed on to the Sophomore class We saw new pep. new life. Our studies now become a joy And not mere days of drudge. We find we ' re making friends with all. Its foolish to hold a grudge. We come now to our Junior days Which leave sweet memories Of parties, of meetings, happy hours As fresh as a mountain breeze. But now. we are Seniors and — Everything is gone forever. Roland Parks Seniors O. Wilson W. Hughes SENIOR CLASS HISTORY There has probably been no class in the history of Ashland High School that has done more for its Alma Mater than has the class of 1926. Starting as Freshmen we. elected Kenneth Hobson as class president and continued through a wonderful first year A ' hick party which was one of the most enjoyable events of the year was given to the Sophomores in return for their initiation. One of the best football players on the team was a freshman, while the class debate team was unusually good. As Sophomores, our class was always near the top in school activities. Earl Nutter and Roland Parks were on the high school debate team. Henry Holmes and Wilbur Tucker were in the Anniversary play, while a score of students took part , n the Operetta We also had members on all the athletic teams. The class also won a prize for selling the most tickets at the Winter Pair. The. class was headed by Charli s Clary as president. As Juniors we continued our enthusiastic program. Henry Holmes was presi- dent We won for the second consecutive, time the Winter Fair prize for selling ,,„. most tickets The athletic teams were composed of about half Juniors while our two debaters helped to win the State Championship for Ashland. Besides all tins the Juniors sponsored dances, picnics, and good times for the whole school. s Seniors, there is little to tell; this book will clearly show you the wonder- ful influence of our class in High School life.

To start the year they contributed a large number of football players, several finish- ing their services as lettermen. During the season they held various candy and food sales and in that way raised enough money to finance their half of the most successful Junior-Senior prom, in January. Then when the basketball season started, thsy again did their part by offering basketball players, both for the girl ' s team and the boy ' s team. The Juniors are proud to have several of their members on the Rogue News Staff and also on the Rogue staff, and they have done their share in securing subscriptions for both the publications. Three members of the shorthand team which competed in the county contest, and three members of the typing team in the county and state contests, were selected from their number. The orchestra, glee club, and forensic are all proud to boast of Junior members, and without several Juniors, the anniversary play could not have been the success it was. One of the Juniors was sent with the delegates to the Editor ' s Convention at Eugene in the ' . ' all. and three were sent with the group to the O. A. C. Ex- position in February. At the close of the year the class produced several baseball players— some who had starred in previous years— to help win honors again this year. The Farmer We folks we life upon a ranch Our living comes of course, by chance. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows. It ' s all for the best but goodness knows — When we should have summer and everything bright, Presto! Old Grizzly ' s green is turned to white. The farmers and fruitmen they do stare And look at the ground and sniff the air. Jack Frost ' s come back and they thought he ' d fled. The spuds are up and the radishes red. The farmers are all afraid of a freeze It ' ll kill crops, it ' ll kill their bees. The fruitmen must know about the weather In order to get their smudge pots together. My dad he rushes and the air he fans Hunting buckets and old tin cans. He covers the plants, feeds the chicks hot mash And vows he knows things are going to smash. But tired and disgusted he goes to bed And falls asleep soons he pillows his head. Next morning he ' s up with the roosters crow And we all say. 1 told you so. For old Sol ' s up and is shining bright The freeze didn ' t come and the fruit ' s all right. Lucile Beswick, ' 2! M£ = M$j$m PF B .Miller E. McGee M. Moon F. Noltimier SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Not so many years ago. two little -First-graders from Hawthorne School were jumping rope down the sidewalks on the Boulevard. The four o ' clock whistle blew, and soon a host of high school students came hurrying down the streets. The two little First-graders watched them pass in silent admiration. To them the height of glory — the height of ambition was high school. Time passed quickly, and soon the two little first-graders were sixth- graders and their class was so well liked by their teacher that, accepting a pro- motion, she follows it to Junior High. Here the class joined with those of Junior high school ' s sixth grade and together they formed a seventh grade of which Junior High has always been proud. Before long, on a bright May morning, the members of the class sat together in long rows of chairs: someone was making a speech and. one by one. they re- ceived their eighth grade diplomas. With long cherished hopes and ambitions they entered high school as freshies. Gradually they gained recognition and now after a year in the seats of the Fresh- man — they are — Sophomores. Fiom their ranks have come football players, basketball players, and debators. and practically every activity has supporters from the Sophmores. They are proud of their school and well they might be. for the name Ashland High School often rings through the land; and they are proud of the honor that no other class has ever claimed, nor can of the future do so. — They are Ashland High School ' s Sophomore Class of 1925. ilh J im h Cot c 3Ju J M£ Class of ' 28 Roy Abbott Rose Aikens Janet Balis John Barr Nedra Bartlet Myler Beery Lucile Beswick Adrian Broile Harriett Bevington Edith Brookmiller Margaret Churchman Dorothy Chappell Joe Conley Marjorie Crouch Tom Cunning Harvey de Armond Jurgen Dykstra Calla Eaton Sara Fay Milton Franklin Marion Frost Ellen Galey Ronald Gandee James Hartley Ben Harrell George Heryford Helen High Lois Hill Wayne Hill Donald Hinthorne Virginia Hooper Joe Harrell Bronough Hughes Helen Johnson Winston Johnston Adena Joy Dick Joy Freddie Katzer Claus Kleinhammer Vera Landing Lawrence Leedom Earl Lininger Leslie Lusk Elliott MacCracken Ned Mars Margaret Miller Everett McGee Wilda Merrymann Letha Miles Barney Miller Marion Moon Albert Myers Edward Nichols Myrtle Norres Odell Olson Ruth Olson Aldo Parr Roy Parr Edith Plummer Allen Prescott George Reigal Virginia Roach John Ruger William Sander Helen Scheidereiter Velma Spencer Lorraine Sparr Esther Spencer Ray Stennetl Dorothy Stephens Madeline Stephens Nadine Swenning Emily Taylor Esther Taylor Izetta Taylor Lucile Vos Loretta Wehrli Bernice Werth Ethel Whitaker Valorus Woodworth Vera Wright Daisy Yaryan Dorothy Yeo Roland York - JL FRESH|VlEf4 %$M£ R . Hall A. Bush P. Horn E. Templin FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY A large group of students entered Ashland High School as Freshmen, both at i he beginning of the fall term and at Christmas. The officers were elected at an early meeting of the class and since that time the business of the class has been conducted very smoothly. Billy Hulen. Marion Moore, Dick Hnchcock and James Hartley have made good showing on the athletic fteld. Many girls are in the Glee Club and the various other organization are repre- sented by the students of the Freshmen Class. An issue of the Rogue News was published by the Freshman class and several of the students have taken part in assembly programs. The Freshmen met their first taste of Sophomore sovereignty at the Annual reception given early in the year. Since that time they have been very humble and obedient to the upper classmen. The class of ' 29 has been very patriotic and loyal. They have attended the games and .he pep rallies very loyaly. The student body will expect a lot from this class. hri 2 Class of ' 29 Gertrude Ahls rom Orpha Arnold Iwanda Bateman John Billings Thomas Booth Lee Boyd Fredrica Brommer Jay Kenneth Brown Aiiten Bush Lucille Carson Grace Coomhe Marjorie Corthel Dorothy Crews Lavida Culbertson Eessie Daley Lloyd Davies Murrel DeFord Kenneth Denton Perry Dodd Ethel Dodge Jack Nims Voyle Franklin Clifton Garnett Harold Porter Eunice Hager Richard Hall Donald High Leon High Lloyd High Clarence Holmes Max Hoover Paul Home his Hubbard Billy Hulen M.-.rjoria Leer Jack Leslie Spencer Luchterhand Marian Lusk Duane Malone LaVerne Hart Madge Marean Irene Massey Wal er McDonough Marian Moore Mildred Moss Calestia Mow Dorothy Nininger Mildred Page Gladys Parks Inez Parks Elizabeth Payne Wilfred Petit Francis Philpot Lee Prescott Jean Putman Frank Scott Ermina Selby Nerville Sheridan Letha Smith Blanche Trask Francis Wa rren Lydia Williams Howard Wiley Edna Wilson lone McNabb Hazel Massey Francis Martin Velma Jorden Roland Jones Peail Howell Dick Hitchcock Grace Hardy Louise Hanson Bertha Greene Minola Gosnell Burton Faris Barbara Edsall Alma Eber Robert Eastman Norma Brow r Wright Baker Colver Anderson Paul Abbot Blanche Allen Berra Smith Vivian Tyler Thelma Spencer Alton Tiask Liuby Peffly Raymone Powell Emerson PraL V rginia Rose Genevieve ScoL Lome Sewell June Sherard Altadena Spencer Earl Winkleman Beatrice Cozait Wesley Hoxie Gretchen Myers Audrey Brown ,.

Hinthoriu The Management Veil Leaders Cunning, Nims, and Parks would be a hard combination to beal any where in the line of yell leading. They worked wonders with the rooting section and through their efforts the pep in the last season, especially in basketball, has been line. The boys went into their task with such pep and enthusiasm that their spirit could not help but communicate itself to the student body Coach Walter Hughes In his six years as Coach, Walter Hughes deserves praise for turning out many championship teams, for encouraging clean athletics at all times, and for installing that never say die spirit into the men: the spirit we like to think of as characterizing our school. Lester Beck — Manager Beck , having had past experience in managing a football team, proved his worth. A better manager than he could not be found. Donald Hintlioi n — Manager Tinhorn , basketball manager was one of true business ability and worth. Baseball and Track -- 1925 Last spring baseball and track fever ran high and an excellent team in both these sports was expec.ed. Later, however, due to various other activities and conflicts, the squad dwindled until it was found necessary to disband these two sports for the vear. This season we are glad to say, there is high interest shown in baseball and Coach Hughes bids fair to turn out a championship aggregation. SLk gfj m F T B A Li h Gandee Gillette Katzer The Team Gosnell Virgil O. Gillette Gillette Full back. 159. Senior. Gillette played tackle last year, but on ac- count of his powerful drive was placed at position of Fullback. He also acted as Captain, as no Captain was elected the year before. Arnold Gosnell Shorty Tackle. 150. Senior. Starting at end. Shorty because of his weight and tackling was placed at tackle. Being a veteran, he was one of the steadfast men on the line. Charles Tilton Charles Quarter, 155. Senior. Tilton was the best punter in Southern Oregon and will long be remembered for his line plunging. Lie Roy Gandee Gandee Half, 13S. Junior. What Bud lacked in size he made up for in his uncanny passing and great defensive work. He will he back next year. Philip Bryant Phil Half, 14n. Senior. Phil was the fastest man on the si|iiad and a a specialty of end runs and snagging passes. Clyde Beeson Cedric End 140. Junior. Cedric was a hard man lo handle and a wizzard at setting down under punts and spilling the safety. He will he hack next year. Freddie Kafzer -Fritz End 135. Sophomore. Fritz was one of the lightest men on he squad and was always bobbing up in unexpected places to receive passes. He will be back next year. -Pete Tackle, 155. Senior. Pete was a good tackier and handled his position in fine shape. His place will he hard to till. Wilbur Tucker -Bill Guard, ICO. Senior. Bill, because of his size was a formidable man to handle and could he depended on to hold his own. Therone Fans Faris Guard, 142. Senior. Although rather light, Faris handled his position with the skill of a veteran. We are sorry to see him go. Ramond (. ' otter ■■Ham Tenter 130 Junior. Ham was the smallest man on the team hut oh boy. how he fought and tackled. His control of the pigskin was superb. He will be back. $ 5 •=9 - =r v o _ Z on Season Review September 14. Coach Hughes sent out the first call for recruits. The out- look was one of the bleakest within memory; but two lettermen were back. For the most part the material was decidedly green. Although they knew they had no chance of winning the Championship, the boys never slacked up on training and never ceased to work hard, night after night, that they might be in tip-top form. The red and white wtas far out-weighed by all her opponents, but always far behind, they never ceased to fight. The season being far from successful was made up by the attitude of the players, it being an attitude of spunk and fight until the last min- ute, of which the Alma Mater should be proud. October 10, the team journeyed to Klamath Falls for its initial contest. This was Klamath ' s third game and they also had the advantage of weight. In the first quarter, by line plunges, Klamath bucked over a touchdown, but failed to convert. The remainder of the half, the locals managed to keep the Pelican city outfit from crossing their goal. The second half s arted out much the same as the first with the easterners starting out strong and pushing over another touchdown. They again failed to convert. Klamath outplayed us this half, but in the last two minutes of play Ashland crossed the line for her only touchdown. Try for point was made by a pass. Game ended 12-7 in favor of Klamath. October 17, the second game of the season which was played with Grants Pass ended in a 7-7 tie. The teams were nearly even, but the locals conceded a slight edge. From the first, the game was nip and tuck. Both teams frequently- resorted to the forward pass and end runs which made the game full of thrills. In the latter part of the half, the Northerners seemed to penetrate our line at will, but when they threatened, the locals took a brace and stopped them. In the last half the climatics gained consistently on a short sloppy pass over tackle. October 24 the third game was played here with Klamath. The Pelicans smashed through our line for gain after gain. The men seemed unable to stem their attack The red and white failed to exhibit any punch on the offensive and half ended 13-0 for Klamath. The second half was a repetition of the first except that Klamath was limited to one touchdown. In the last few minutes of play, Uosnell blocked a punt, recovered it, and raced to the enemies ' 3 yard line where Gillette carried it over. Game ended 20-7. October :: 1 . Ashland won it ' s only game of the season by a 13-0 victory over Roseburg. This was the only game played in which i he locals were not badlj out-weighed. At first, the Roseburg bunch uncorked a surprising attack. The first half was a see saw back and forth, with Ashland threatening once with the ball on the 2 yard  ine and four downs to carry it over in. The northerners, how. v. r, made a valiant stand and secured the ball on downs where they punted it out of danger. The half ended 0-0. The third quarter started things rolliing. Ashland took the reigns in her hand and scored two touchdowns in rapid succession. In the last quarter, neither side had any advantage November 11. will long be remembered as a black letter day and tin- scene of the worst defea; in the history of our school. Out-weighed, outplayed, outgeneraled but not outfought, the red and white went down to a 67-0 deCeat at the hands of the Medford ' s State Championship team. In the first few minutes of play the boys held the powerful Medfordites but soon with machine-like precision thej inarched up the field for touchdown after touchdown. The half ended - r ,7-0. The second half was a repetition of the first and :he game ended 67-0. November 18, handicapped by the absence of Gillette, Ashland Hi tangled again with the Grants Pass bunch. Ashland completely outclassed the northerners and won a moral victory, but with horrible luck and he breaks against them they lost. Starting out with a vicious drive the clamatics pushed over a touchdown in the first quarter and converted. In the second quarter, the locals commenced to get warmed up and shoved over a touchdown of their own, Tilton converting. A few minutes later, Tilton booted a 23 yaid place kick which put the red and white into the lead. The rest of the quarter was a see-saw and the half ended 10-7 in Ashland Hi ' s favor. In the third quarter a Climate city half raced 85 yards to a touchdown on a freak end run. The last quarter was a bitter struggle with neither side having the edge. The last quarter was the most thrilling of the game. With the ball on their own 60 yard line, Ashland with Tilton and Watson carrying, ripped the Grants Pass line to shreds. When on the 10 yard line, they lost the ball, Grants Pass punted, and Ashland began her drive all over again. Ashland gained relentlessly, but on the two yard line again lost it by a costly fumble. Grants Pass punted to safety and Ashland once m ore started her drive but the wliis le ended the ante. In the annual Thanksgiving Day Classic. Ashland again succumbed to the powerful eleven from Medford. This time to the tune of 51-7. Ashland was the only team to plav Medford and make a touchdown by line plunges. The game was really more close than the score implied, however, as two or three of Medfords touchdowns occured on flukes. The locals lone score came in the third quarter. M the last few minutes play, the locals with Tilton. Gillette, and Watson as the stars tore through the Medford line at will. Just before the whistle blew Tilton ripped off 20 yards through tackle. After this game the moleskins were packed away among the mothballs to await the coming of another season. Getting By Have you ever thought that you were getting by.

Ruger. i f ?|Jl£_Jfg4MJ Season Review In mid-December, Coach Hughes sent out the call Cor basketball. Forty some odd aspirants reported, but this number rapidly dwindled until there remained but enough to form two teams in one squad and an unofficial third squad known as the Ponies. The season was a very successful one; the team winning 1 : ' , and drop- ping but 6. All these games availed but naught, however as they dropped the crucial series to decide who should go to the state tournament. The team got off on tlie wrong foot by dropping two out of three games on the northern trip, hut they were not defeated all the rest of the season until the crucial series with Medford. January IS. the initial performance of the year was staged on the local floor with .Merrill High. Merrill was completely out-classed in every department of the game and Ashland won by a 51-6 score. January 22, the team left on the northern trip to play a three game series with Roseburg, Albany and Salem. On the night of 22. they triumphed over Roseburg in an exciting game by a 35-19 score. The next night, the 23rd, the rid and white played Albany in a fast and thrilling game. At the end of the game the score was 19-19. In the extra two minute period, Albany annexed three markers and won the game 22-19. Salem was the next stop. The red and white put up a good exhibition but fell before the more experienced state champions, 28-18. After this game the team returned home. January 28, one of the best games of the year was staged when Ashland tangled with Eugene High. The local armory was packed by a large and enthus- iastic crowd. The affair was a hot race from start to finish and excitement ran high. Tilton won the game for us by his uncanny shooting of fouls. The final score was l!i-.:2 in favor of Ashland. February 5. Roseburg came down, vowing vengeance, to take Ashland ' s scalp. The best they could do was chalk up T points to Ashland ' s 30. The game was not very exciting or fast and left no doubt as to which was the best teaim, February 13, the all star Battery B team was met and vanquished 43-32. The game, despite the score, was fast and featured by long shots. Marske, as usual, was the main cog in the high school offensive while Bryant and Butterfield starred for Battery IS. February 14. we engaged Central Point, who had just defeated Grants Pass. Central Point had a good team for a town of its size, but they were no mati our warriors who took them into camp to the tune of 46-13. The second team was used the greater part of the game. February 16. Yreka hit town with the reputation of being I o ol Northern California. A tight and exciting tussle was expected, but alas for our hopes. Yreka turned out to he one of the weakest teams yet encountered fumbled, and missed easy shots. For over half Hie game our second team wa The final score was 56-13.

Marske and Hill starred for Ashland while Hemot, and Williams were the shining lights of the Cratenans. The next night. February 20. the two teams met on the local court in a game pve „ more thrilling than the one staged the preceding night. The playing was Z a d furious and ripped with breath-taking thrills. The game started off fa and first one team and then another led. Marske and Gosnell led m the scoring a tick while Hill starred in the defense.

When the teams left the floor the score stood .4-11 for ■A jhtant Ashland again tangled with Grants Pass high on February 26 This time on the climate citv floor. The local quintet, although victorious, met with a s iffe oppJst on than was anticipated. Handicapped by the small floor they couldn t seem to get started. The cavemen uncorcked an unlooked for offensive and seem in a fai way of winning the contest, but Abbott and Roy Parr ' s shooting kep . iad in the second half, Ashland High commenced piling up a substantial Za and the game ended with the red and white on the long end ot a 24-16 score. February 27. the Maple Court hopefuls from Klamath Falls were overwhelmed to the tune of 47-7. The Pelicans were no ma eh for the Lithians and were out- aved n every phase of the game. The contest was too one-sided and slow to be intlresting. The first string piled up a lead and the second team was sent into the fray February 29, Ashland journeyed to Merrill where they had no trouble in swamp- ins their opponents by a 40-12 count. February 30, the following evening, the team clashed with Klamath Kails at Klamath. The game was uninteresting and one-sided with the high school coming nut on the long end of a 4 1-ltj score. Medford and Ashland high schools met in the third gam. ' of the tour game series March 5. The game was held on the local court. In the first six seconds of the game. Moore shot a perfect basket, putting the locals ahead. The team plainly seemed to be away off form with the result that they were trailing 17 8 at half time. The next half was about the same as the first. Marske looped several long ones. Bad luck was with the boys. They would shoot them tight into the baske where the hall would twist and fall out again. Medford ' s shooting was uncanny. The game ended ;!2-23 for Medford. On the following evening Ashland went to Medford where they engaged the Craterians in one of the best games ever seen in Southern Oregon. From the initial tip-off the teams were neck to neck and the first half was the same as the second, a bitter and heart breaking struggle. When the gun popped, the last game of the season ended 14-12 in favor of Medford. The Ponies The ' Ponies were the unofficial third squad of the school. They practiced with the first and second teams and often played in the preliminaries. The team-work and all around basketball ability of these boys was marvelous, considering the experience they have had. They played numerous games throughout the season and dropped but two of these contests. Games were played with teams representing the Hi-Y, Central Point, and other school teams such as the Elephants and Cardinals of Medford. A game was dropped to the Cardinals and : in the final game of the season, they were defeated in a thrilling contest by the Hi-Y. the score being 21-19. Hail to our future varsity.

Season Review The Girl ' s Basketball season ran its course something parallel to that of the hoys. They won all games except two played with Medl ' ord High. Games were played with ( ' .rants Pass, Jacksonville, Talent. Medl ' ord and others. Of all these (lames they dropped hut the two to Medford. Coach ( ' rain, although this Is her li rst year, produced a fast and hard playing team. She promises to build up sonic Championship combinations in the future, having several promising looking under- classmen on the squad Success Long have the poets sung of success. And long have philosophers told, That the way to success is long and hard; At the end is a crown of gold. It ' s a selfish way they fain would teach To those who would earn success; They speak of toiling day in — day out, Toward your goal, your happiness. But I know of a way that is strewn with flowers., And the birds sing all the day; There are bubbling fountains ' neath blooming bow ' rs. Where the rees in the breezes sway. Forget your goal, your happiness, And let not a day slip by Without helping another to reach his goal That sparkles before his eye. Far greater then is your happiness, — You have reached a hundred goals — And the crown that ends your way to success Is the love of a hundred souls. Ellen Galey. Ashland Ashland is a grand old place, With its grass, its trees, and flowers. We of:en roam around the town, To spend our leasure hours. We like to watch the mountains, When the sun is sinking low, And the sky of blue is changing. To a white, and crimson glow. TENNIS Ashland High is very fortunate in having two concrete tennis courts. Full advantage is taken of these and they are in use at all times. The students are proud of their courts and keep them clean. They have also made many improvements including two benches lor spectators and an umpires stand. A number of tournaments are played each year. Those finished before the publication of this annual are the Boy ' s Doubles and Hoy ' s Singles In the Doubles the first interesting matches were in the semi-finals. Here Dick Joy and Harold Kitto after a poor start won from Roy Abbott and James Nutter 7-5, 6-2. Hubert Gillmore and Billy Hulen defeated Phil Bryant and Arnold Gosnell 6-2, 6-2. In the final, Gillmore and Hulen won over Joy and Kitto 8-6, 6-2. In the quarter finals of the Singles some good tennis was played.

In the semi-finals Hulen proved to be a little better than Kitto who lost 6-4. 7-5. In the other semi-final Hubert Gillmore met Dick Joy in the hardest fought and best played match of the tournament. The little sophomore put up a wonderful fight and the speed and accuracy of some of his sliced drives was amazing Gillmore with his great leach and longer experience finally won by 3-6, 6-2, 9-7. In the final Gillmore met another Sophomore and had almost as hard a fight. He lost the fnsl set 6-4. took the second by the same score and the third at 6 - ' ' ..

LITERARY The Storm on the Lake long swirling finger of fog seemed to spring into relief against ths dusky. sulphorus silver of the stormy sky. It wrapped itself about the cold, slimy peak of the tall gray cliff which loomed discouragingly to its very center. For on- in- stant it seemed as if the dull wrath of nvsi would fall into the blue-green lake, so far away that its fiercely beating waves seemed as succulent ripples at the base of the indomitable rock. A sea-gull swooped out of the writhing veil of mist and fell straight down to- wards the treacherous lake far below. His snowy pinions beat th 3 air in a del rous tattoo of movement. HaKway in his flight he paused as if suspende d by an unseen cord and, whirling about, sought a crevice on the face of the cliff. Water trickled drop by drop from his hiding place, and clammy mosses, yellowed in the smother- ing atmosphere, swung slowly to and fro until the cleft was concealed entirely. The storm broke. It raged as a tiger rages when it finds itself entrapped The universe seemed to sway and tremble under the rolling cadences of thunder and flashes of lightning, pale and bluishly graen in that tierce night-in-day. staggered about drunkenly. The succulent ripples on the lake, far below, were smothered in foam and the mysterious ' Something which charged the atmosphere. All the gods of the Storm seemed battling for ther rights. A huge boulde, cashed from the yellowed sides of the lake and fell, with an echoing crash, tnto s rounded bowl. At one side a seemingly tiny pebble rolled down, it was a boulder as large as a horse and yet it appeared tiny in the gruesome furies of the as it splashed into the water. More followed until the wall was a seething mass of stones and the dust and mist fought, each for his pla ce unt, bo , vanquished by a spurt of lightning.

The Evil of the Iron Box Early one morning on a day in bleak December a certain wealthly old gentle- man, whose name I shall not disclose, was working over a large iron chest. lie appeared to be very much interested in his labor. Called me a miser and a skinflint, did lie! Well, I ' ll fix him. Every since I have had a little money his father has been after i ! Said it was his by rights and wanted it for his son! He shall have it, he shall have it! As he muttered these words he pulled down the heavy lid of the box and ii closed with a loud click that signified that i was locked. Now when you open this, my lad. with this key, you never will call me a miser and a skinflint again! Chickling to himself, he walked over to a table, tottering a little as he did ■o, and tapped a small bell. Almost ins antly the door opened and in came a ser- vant almost as old and withered as his master. Did you ring, sir he asked. You know I did. you old fool! snarled his master Yes sir, you are right, sir. replied the servant. ' Walters, was I ever anything but right? No sir no sir. answered Walters. Well don ' t stand there like a dummy, help me to that chair, commanded the old man pointing to a nearby chair. Yes sir, yes sir, responding Walters helping his master to the chair. Anything else, sir? Well. I haven ' t dismissed you yet. have I? No sir, that ' s right sir. I tell you I ' m always right! bellowed the old gen leman. Y ' es sir, yes sir Shut up and sit down! commanded the now almost furious man. Walters obeyed with no more discussion, knowing well when to stop. ' Walters, I am going to tell you something that 1 want you never to repea . but at my death, which I feel for some strange reason, is very near, I want you to see that my plans are carried out. Do you promise? Yes sir. replied the servant. Did yon say. sir. hat your death was near? be asked cheerfully. No! howled the man. No never. 1 say I shall never die, never, never, ' I. you hear? ••yes sir. yes sir. you are right sir! ojuuiiCip VOII ' But listen, Walters, to what I have to say, and do as I bid you. Very well, sir. Do you see that chest there, Walters? Yes, sir, answered Walters. •In that chest is a million dollars! A million dollars! exclaimed Walters. Yes, answered the gentleman. You didn ' t think I had so much money, did ' No one did. I will continue now. Listen, and don ' t interrupt me again. Yes sir. I will sir, said Walters obligingly. No! cried the gentleman. I said no! Very well, sir. ,.,.,, As I before said, in that chest I have placed a million dollars winch I have willed to my only living relative my nephew. His father always said that it be- longed to him and that I cheated him out of it He said he wanted it for his son. He was wrong! I didn ' t ' cheat him out of it! He was wrong, wrong, wrong! But his son shall have it now, but it won ' t do him any good. I have seen to that! You see I have planted some dynamite in the chest so that when the key is turned in the lock, it will blow up. Then he will have the money, but also he will never use it ' Some plan, don ' t you think, Walters? Incredible, said Walters, ' but don ' t you think it a bit crude? Crude, crude, did you say? Why it is the smoothest working thing I know of! It will work wonderfully and answer the purpose to perfection! It is marvelous, sir, if you are sure that it will work so well, replied Walters. Of course it will work. I am sure of it. and I ' m always right, always I tell you! But it is evident that you don ' t believe me! Oh I didn ' t mean it that way. sir! The old gentleman was almost furious over Walters disbelief of his almost precious plan. . ., I ' ll show you that I ' m right! he cried. Show you that Im always right. Saying this he rushed over to the chest, inserted the key in the lock and turned it before Walters had time to stop him or realize what he was doing. There was a loud crash and then silence. To this day it is a mystery to the people how the old gentleman and his servant met with such a terrible death. By Dorothy Stevens. TQQNiZQfiQlO W Back Row, Left to right: D. Vestal. R. Anderson, V.

Ashland went into the conte st this year with a trifle more anxiety than pre- viously for the record made this year by our contestants, determined whether or not Ashland should keep the typing cup, she had won in the past two consecutive years. She won it and we can feel very proud of our high school and the contest- ants who helped to win the grand prize. Mary Galev won first in the state making a record of eighty words per minute. The best record made up until this year was seventy two, so we felt that in con- tests to come, students are going to have a hard time to beat Mary ' s record of eighty words Another prize winner was Ruth Anderson who made an average of sixty ' nine words, and who captured fifth prize. The entire team which consists of Janey Walker. Velma Clapp, Mary Galey and Ruth Anderson, made a record of 61 50 words This is higher than has ever been made before in similar contests. The team owe a great deal to Miss Tarr who has put in long hours of training the students in hopes of their gaining Ashland ' s great desire. We ap- preciate her work and efforts and feel she has been rewarded. CiAcJlMiit Back Row. Left to light: D. Joy, B. Joy, M. B ery. W, noremus, R. Parks. Front Row: M. Bartlett. E. Galey, H. Allison.

The only debate held with another school was with Grants Pass on February I. on tlio question, Resolved hat a severance tax should be made a feature of the system of taxation in Oregon. The decisions in Grants Pass and Ashland were two to one in favor of Grants Pass. December S, tryouts were held for those who wished to take part in debate The number who tried on was large.

J 3 88 Campfire Girls The Campfire Girls have made steady progress in the Ashland Schools. They were organized September. 1925. by Miss Crain and Miss Jarmon. Memberships increased to such an extent that two other teachers. Miss Calmenson and Miss Tern- plin. were obliged to become additional directors. The Campfire Girls carry out the Indian customs and ceremonies, as it is their purpose to cleave to original American ideals. These Girls have engaged in wholesome and enjoyable activities during their short but successful career. They have hiked, studied nature and camp craft, held song meetings, and attended nursing lectures. They had a very successful skating party during the winter which included the Campfire Girls of all the schools in Ashland. Ashland High is proud of her Campfire Girls, for though the influence of this organization girls of the school are growing into beautiful characters of womanhood. Characteristic to the organization is the law of the Campfire which is held dear to those who obey it: It is my desire to become a campfire girl and follow the law of the lire, which is. seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work and be happy. This law I will strive to follow. 3UM Lettermen ' s Club President — Lester Beck Secretary — Jane Pollard Mr. Walter Hughes Vice-President — Albert Marsk Treasurer — Arnold Gosnell Advisors Miss Mildred Crane Mr. B.

She was succeeded by Lisle Wentner, John Galey and Vernon McGee respectively. The exchange department of this paper is an interesting feature. It re- ceives papers from over 200 schools in every state in the Union. It boasts of one of the few foreign exchanges in the United States. In order to make it possible for the staff to have time to prepare the Annual for publication, a number of the issues of The Rogue News were published by the classes then bv various organizations of the school. The Freshmen put out a green and white issue, whicih was althogether fitting and proper. Then followed the Sophomore, Junior, Senior and Forsenic editions. The class issues, besides aiding the Staff, aid the students in the selection of editors for the coming years. Staff Editor-in-chief .. - Virgil O. Gillette Assistant Editor ... Roland L.

Dorothy Nininger fljyi jpil DRACDATICS ANNIVERSARY PLAY Hurry! Hurry! Hurry: Ashland High School presented as an anniversary play Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! , a story of a modern American family who is always hurrying. Mr. Hooker finds himself on the verge of bankruptcy on the eve of his daughter ' s twenty first birth- day. Floy is to inherit a million dollars on reach. n« this age, provided she is engaged and married before she is twenty two Mrs. Hooker suddenly rememburs this and does her utmost to arrange Floy ' s engagement before midnight. She does not tell her daughter of her plans but arranges an impromptu dinner party. She consults her regarding the guests, but finds that the poor child is disgusted with men and cares only to invite Letitia Blown, a gushing creature, well versed on Modern Literature. Steve Hooker brings a grea t football hero. Ted Stone, and Jack Crandal, Floy ' s former fiance who unexpectedly arrives from Texas, is invited. Steve discovers the secret and painfully extracts from Ted a promise ol ' a proposal. Mrs. Hooker seeks Jack ' s confidence and finds that he still loves Floy but refuses to propose before midnight. Exasperated because she had refused Ted, Steve shows Floy the will. Then, dutifully she accepts Aloisius Bartholomew, a long winded pro- fessor, but almost immediately breaks the engagement, unable to tolerate the learn- ed one. The plot ends happily when Jack, not knowing that Steve has mischievous- ly set the clock ahead, proposes before midnight and is accepted. The play was a great success due to the faithful work of Miss Florence Nolti- raier and the earnest cooperation of the members of the cast. The school Orchestra, conducted by Miss Aileen Shepard, furnished delightful music for he entertainment.

SENIOR PLAY Putting It Over The seniors chose Putting It Over for their play. 11 was a comedy revolvilia around a villanious plan to build a dam out of worthless concrete. Tom Browne, the chief engineer, had originally stolen the construe ion plans. The crook contractor, Lannon, tries to bribe him to flee and leave his work to the dishonest foreman, Daintry. Browne instead, elopes with Lannon ' s daughter Tor- rence and marries her before her departure, to Paris. Steward, he real owner of the plans, lowered by poverty to the piofession of burglary, enters Browne ' s apart- ments. He is so nearly Browne ' s double that not even Bolton, the valet, notices the real engineers disappearance. Thinking he is Browne, Eva Lou, the daugh er of Colonel Land (who is heavily invested in the construction) beseeches him to speed the work along. Steward recognizes his own plans on the wall and. sur- rendering to the appeal in Eva Lou ' s blue eyes, he promises to finish the dam On Torrence ' s return she claims for her husband whom she had not seen for six weeks, unconscious of the fact that Browne had been seriously hurt shortly after her marriage. A mis-understanding ensues between Eva Lou and Torrence Steward finds that the dam is unsafe and by clever strategy on the part of himself and eva Lou, Lannon is made to confess, when he thinks Torrence is below the dam. in grave danger, should it break. Miss Florence Noltimier showed her ability as a director, and supported by real talent in the cast the play scored a success. The- orchestra numbers under thi supervision of .Miss Aileen Shepard contributed greatly to the evening ' s success.

When daylight breaks the fairy sleeps In a nest of the sapphire sky. She lulls away and the elves all weep While the fairy dreams and sighs. When night dawns again and the moon holds sway The fairy calls me, fascinates! And I ' m once more lured out that way While soft spun moonbeams radiate. Oh! dancing laughter-lilting song! Oh! fairy of the mystic sight, Your golden wine cannot bring wrong — Tell me that love leads aright. Dorothy Nininger. warn Myself and Me One day Myself came to see Me. Oh heavens ' , but she was a past. She rattled madly on and on and didn ' t give Me a chance to talk at all. I had intended to do so many things that afternoon, things that really had to he done. Mother had promised severe punishment if I didn ' t make my lied and dust my room But I had to take Myself out in the kitchen and help her make a hatch o: candy. While it was cooking Myself got to looking around in the desk for the book that mother wouldn ' t let Me read. It was up to Me to cover up the tracks The candy! Myself had done Me a dirty trick; I trusted her and then she let the candy burn. Oh well — Myself didn ' t care. She hated di.ty dishes and messy burned candy and of course what could I do but to be polite and entertain ber ' . 1 Next that meddlesome person had to play the victrola and insisted upcn my dancing with her. Then the awkward thing knocked mothers pretty vase over and spilled water on the new rug. Neither did that matter to Myself as she was a happy-go-lucky person, but I trembled at the vision of mother ' s wrath descending upon poor Me. Amen! there come the shout of my eccentric old uncle who had been awakened from his afternoon nap. I couldn ' t tell you what he said because I ' ve forgotten and anyway Myself made Me promise never to tell who had caused the rumpus and especially never to tell mother. As I think it over Myself must have been rather foolish, for how could mother help knowing who did it? But that ' s the way with people like Myself they always think they can fool mother. There she comes, just like that little saying Myself whispered to Me— what ' s the use of repeating it, you must know it? And then Myself faded quietly out of sight because she was too kindhearted to stay and see Me get — but use your imaginafon that what it ' s fo ■ isn ' t it? — By Hariette Bevington.
