Editor’s Greetings Dear Friends: In planning this year's Chinook Breeze we have tried to make it as interesting as possible and represent the activities of Chinook High School during the past year. We want this year hook to present, a c ross section of the work that is done so that all who read it will realize that our high school is making strides forward. When anything is to be done, the class puts its shoulder to the wheel and everyone works. This has been especially true of the class in supporting the annual. The co-operation of the members of the class has made this book possible. The sponsor and editor feel that the class and staff owe a debt of gratitude to Leona Thompson and Jean Sands for their untiring efforts. All members of the staff have worked faithfully, but these two have borne the brunt of the financial battle. A year book is not the product of the work of a few people, but many have helped us. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the ssubscribers and teachers. We also wish to give a vote of thanks to the commercial department who typed all of our copy without complaint. It would have been an impossibility, due to the depression, for us to have attempted to put out our Annual had we not had the willing support of our advertisers. We especially appreciate their contributions for they alone have made it possible for us to carry on this work. We hope that we have pleased you and that you will enjoy reading “The Breeze,” not only now, but ir years to come. —LILLIAN HALLENBERGER

Superintendent’s Message It is my privilege, clue to my position in the school, to present here an idea of those aspects of the school year which have seemed to he most significant. On the surface, this has seemed to be a very successful school year. Whether or not it has been so in reality can not be ascertained. Only its effect on the pupils, as it may come to light later in their lives, will determine its success or failure. Some point3 which now seem so insignificant as to be entirely overlooked may eventually prove to be the most important of the entire year. However, one item stands out now so conspic-ously that it dwarfs all others in its present per spective. This is the spirit which prevails at the present time. It begins with the tax-paying public. Ibis year has been especially heavy strain on the public. Yet we have heard no sullen complaints on the cost of education. There have been no disastrous school political fueds. Everyone has cheerfullv shouldered the burden. The school board has naturally been seriously handicapped by the financial circumstances, abetted by the onerous conditions imposed by parts of the present school laws. Every condition has been squarely met and conquered. The faculty members have conducted classes so large that they entailed an amount of work which would have seemed insurmountable a fewf years ago. Yet there has been no shirking or lamenting. There w’as no time for that. Unusual conditions prevailed and must be accepted. And the classroom work has been of a quality creditable in any school, while the extra-curricular work has been greatly extended. The same spirit has shown itself in the work of the students. An item of this kind w'as the basketball team, which gained for itself an unusual reputation for playing the game to the end in the face of any odds, perhaps being out-pointed, but never defeated. Another example is the way those responsible for this annual’persisted in its preparation in the face of every possible discouragement, and produced this volume because they did not know how to quit. The long list of awards for the various essay contests is an indication of the same spirit permeai-ing the scholastic field. To me, this attitude of courage and of continually “Playing the Game” has been the outstanding feature of the entire school year, and should be a source of congratulation to everyone in any w ay interested in the Chinook schools. —WALTER L.
