Published by the Senior Class of the Coquille High School Urqurart Adams,................................Editor-in-Chief Ruth Woodford,..............................Associate Editor Rueben Mast,................................Associate Editor Clay Knowlton,..............................Athletic Editor Will Barrow,.............................. Business Manager Mae Lund,..........................Assistant Business Manager FOREWORD We have brought forth this Annual, at the cost of considerable effort, in order that we might have, in days to come, some reminder of our school life. We have also another end in view, to give the people of this community who feel a friendly interest in our institution, some idea of our work, our ideals and our needs. If this end is accomplished, in whatever degree, we will feel that The Laurel is something worth while from a practical point of view. It is probable that The Laurel would be of a higher class if a literary society had have been organized early in the year. We hope that the students in the time to come will profit by the example we did not set, and trust that if they do so their publications will be a source of wonder to all who read.

And if we do go to college we may consider that in the future our success will depend upon our capacity for initiative and not, at least to such an extent as heretofore, on the guidance and encouragement of our instructors. And so we may consider that we are out of school life and into the world. iove -me zrxd the wo-r-ld xS TTvi-ne’1 E1 % c i. a i Tne d a ba.shfv,l bli Sh g tad; TVx 7veeU ig at the r a «- c e-KuS feet He offered her vh«-t wealth he. had BwtShe w a.S SUe t vn. -re.

I consider Mr. Edison as one of our really great men, for not only is he posted on matters appertaining to the mechanical world, but he really has some very intelligent ideas on almost anything you might happen to mention. I was working on my new theory of economic reform and thought I might as well sound him on the subject. I found him very much engrossed in an electrical apparatus he was adjusting, but he left it immediately and greeted me with that cordial way he has. “Ah, James,’’ he said, “you have come to the old man for some ideas, have you.” I was not surprised at his remarkable surmise as to my business with him, for I had seen him read men’s minds before. “Yes,” I answered, “I desire your opinion of the new theory I have been working on. In order to make it practicable I must have your co-operation. Let me explain,” I went on, seating myself on a high stool. “You know, the great failing of our present system is a scarcity of employment. No man is sure that his job will not be taken from him and given to some one better qualified. With all the wonderful machines that you have been making a few men can now do the work that formerly required the labor of .every one available. Of course the demand is no larger than before, for the same number of people exist as formerly, and when their wisheo are fulfilled nothing remains to be done. “Now the reasonable thing to do would be to administer chloroform to those who are not needed in the present system. The ones to be chloroformed would, of course, belong to the inefficient, the lazy and the criminal classes, and their removal would raise the average of efficiency of those remaining. A practical application of the natural law of ‘the survival of the fittest.’ ” I paused to watch the effects of this rather radical proposition on the worthy gentleman. “Yes, yes,” he muttered impatiently, “What I have long thought. Go on, go on.” “Well,” I continued, much gratified at his interest, “it is evident that such a scheme as I have mentioned would be impracticable at the present time, so I have considered an alternative, and in its application is where you come in. Now,” I said, speaking carefully, for much depended on his impression of the mat- ter, “all of this trouble has been brought about by machinery. Why not effect a reform through the same medium.” I reached out and thumped him on the knee. “Get me? It’s the biggest thing that ever happened for the common people. All you got to do is to invent an attachment for every machine that will regulate the output so there will be no surplus in the output of all machinery after the wants of the consumers are satisfied. In this way it will be possible to give every man a job, as the demand for their labor will be, if the thing is efficiently managed, just what will give employment to every man, woman and tender child in the United States. By means of a regulator appointed by the mayor of each town, all machinery can be regulated at a nominal cost. A bureau of regulation will be established by the United States in a central location, where it can keep its finger on the pulse of commerce and by a network arrangement of thetelophone system keep each regulator in tune with all the rest.” I finished my convincing little explanation, and my good old friend rose to his feet. “Jim,” he said, “I think you have it. What the world is looking for you have found And, my friend,” he wiped a tear from his eye and continued, “1 will help you to the best of my ability. But here,” he said, moving to the electrical apparatus aforementioned, “is a little contraption by which I have been enabled to foresee the results of my different experiments. It was my first invention and it has been the keynote to my success. Look into this glass while I draw an outline of the ‘Edison Regulator, ’ such as you suggested, on this slide. Then, when I turn the crank, the machine is projected into the future, where it can be seen at its period of greatest development.” He finished the picture and began to turn the crank. I looked and saw a beautiful street in a fair city. The marble pavements were being swept by six three-horse street cleaners with the “Edison Regulator” attached. The drivers looked contented and well fed. They were neatly dressed and altogether very superior to the avera ge persons of the lower orders. There was a large building in the foreground, and into this building poured a stream of people, marshaled by a number of bluecoats. They were of all sorts and descriptions young, old and middle aged; rich, well-to-do and poor; women, men and children. I noticed another door where a much smaller stream of people left the building, all with a look of relief on their faces, and I wondered. Ah, there was an “Edison Regulator” attached to the door. As the door opened a handsome youth, his hair freshly cut, wearing the utmost of what was appropriate in trousers, shoes, and necktie, and smoking an after-dinner cigarette, was drawn bodily into the regulator, which trembled and was still in a moment. Through a spout attached to the regulator a stream of what appeared to be a chemical fertilizer poured into a wagon driven by a sturdy negro boy. The boy drove off whistling, and I turned away in deep dejection. “Ed,” I moaned, “it’s of no use. They will have the thing working in fifty years so that even the superflous human beings will be regulated in the most horrible manner. No, we will have to let suffering humanity abide its fate.” I took my hat and left. I now have a little plan on hand by which not only the taxes of the towns but also the livelihood of the towns’ inhabitants will be furnished by more and more expensive licenses for saloons, and must drop around and get Ed’s opinion on it.

We’re learned in music, we’re learned in books, We’re praised by all for our good looks. The first on the roll is Clifford Kern, There’s nothing in German that he can’t learn. Perry, the treasurer, is fine and fair, With laughing eyes and coal black hair. “Spike,” the President, true as steel, Follows close on the treasurer’s heel. Naomi Knowlton is next on the roll, Ever noted for her kind, generous soul. Laura Watson is loved by all, She is slender, dark and tall. Alice Stanley, with swell backward glance Steps forth and looks at all things askance. The lady of dimples is on the list next— Miss Alice Culin is a sweet theme and text. “Pete” Miller is always ready for fun But he waits till after school is done (?) While Beulah always has her fun. Even after school’s begun. Georgia Watson with winning smile, Works at her studies all the while. Imogene Alexson comes next in line, And all admit that she is fine. George Oerding is good as good can be, There is none in school better than he (?) Miss Erma Culin idly sits, With twinkling eyes and ruby lips. Irvin Watson brings up the rear And in his eye there is no tear. May each one live a thousand years, A life completely devoid of tears. And in years to come when they grow old, May their loyalty not grow cold. For the Junior Class of C. H. S. The finest class of the year, I guess. THE MAN FOR THE CRISIS BY NAOMI KNOWLTON Man was endowed with mind and reasoning power by the All-Wise Creator and commanded to subdue the earth. The act of obeying the Divine command has cause i man in all ages to be confronted with important questions; questions which demanded such quick and determined action at one moment, generally on the part of one man, that they may be called crises. In every great movement recorded in history, one man, towering above his fellow-men in intellectuality and courage, has arisen equal to the situation; and his decision has usually led to the advancement and betterment of the wor’d. Biblical history tells us of Moses, when the Israelites were oppressed by the Egyptians and in themselves too weak to rise up against their oppressors, appearing as their commander and successfully leading them through their unequal contest. Then in the far country to which Moses led them they developed into the great nation which has given the Christian religion to the world. Athens, the great seat of learning and center of civilization, was sorely threatened destruction by the barbarian hordes of Persians. The small but brave army of the Athenians followed their fearless leader, Miltiades, to victory on the field of Marathon, where they met and defeated the Persian hosts in one of the greatest of the decisive battles of history. This battle placed the name of Miltiades high on the roll of fame and preserved the Grecian civilization with its literature and art for the benefit and use of future generations. At one time in the history of Rome the very existence of the government was threatened with political dishonesty. Judges on the bench, consuls and ambassadors, and even military leaders could be bribed with a very paltry sum. But because people have always respected and admired justice and fairness Marius succeeded Metellus in the consulship. Here was a man unaffected by the offer of bribes, a man who fought political corruption and a man who had the highest ambitions for the state. It was indeed fortunate for Rome that a man of such wise counsel and sound judgment held so high an office when the savage hordes from the wild mountainous regions of the North were pouring down through the passes of the Alps on the fertile plains of Italy and destroying all civilization as they went. Marius defeating the Teutons in the battle of Aquae Sextae and the Cimbri of Vercellae was hailed, “the saviour of his country.” There was a time in the world’s literary history when or.ly a very limited number of people were at all acquainted with literature because of the scarcity of books. The few books which were in existence were, of necessity, hand-written, and in great danger of being destroyed by barbarian invaders. Under these trying circumstances it seemed that literature would never be able to hold a place in the world, but at the darkest moment Guttenburg, the wonderful inventor, introduced his printing press and thus literature began to be circulated throughout the world. The religious world has likewise its heroes; one of the many was Martin Luther. At the time of Luther’s prominence the power of the Pope had become so great through the union of Church and State that it was oppressive to the people. The Catholic Church had gained the temporal power of the nation, and as a natural consequence of this power religion and government were being corrupted. The Bibles were all written in the Latin language and therefore out of the reach of the people. The Popes were interpreting the Scriptures to the people in ways which best suited their own interests, and the great mass of people were fast declining into an ignorant and superstitious race. Martin Luther by his courageous act of nailing his ninety-five theses on the Church door at Wittenberg, caused the temporal power of the Church to be destroyed, religious tolerance to be established, and the Bible to be translated into the language of the common people so that they could read it for themselves. At one time in the history of our own beloved homeland, thirteen small thinly settled colonies, were struggling und r the harsh and oppressive rule of England. They had many unjust taxations forced on them; they were oppressed by their rulers and allowed no voice whatever in the government. When conditions were at their worst and matters had reached a climax, George Washington, the great military leader, was raised up, seemingly by Divine Providence, to take charge of the American troops. And because he led them in triumph through the war his name will always be placed first on the pages of our history. Af er the war was finished and the Union established, many difficult problems, from time to time, of a social, financial, and political character arose which had to be met and settled. Sectional jealousies and struggles for political supremacy came, several times, nearly disrupting our nation. Disruption was prevented only by great strokes of diplomacy, but the cause was not emoved. The Union was never absolutely safe because of this sectional strife, and finally the crisis was reached when the south seceded from the Union. This secession was followed by four years of the fiercest and bloodiest war of modern times. Again the power that rules the destinies of nations raised up a man fortheocca- sion. Lincoln was made leader and he not only piloted the nation through this most terrible struggle and brought the war to a successful termination, but he also wiped from the fair page of history its da kest blot that of slavery; and obliterated sectional lines. Now our nation stands united. The Union is thoroughly sealed by the blood of the brave men who gave their lives in this fierce struggle. The result is, that ours, while the youngest nation, is the greatest in wealth and in influence. Her unbounded resources, her achievements in literature, arts and invention place her in the front rank of nations and have gained for her the respect and admiration of the world. “OPPORTUNITY” r r � They do me wrong who say I am no more When once I knock and fail to find you in For, every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake and rise to fight and win. Wail not for precious chances passed away Weep not for golden ages on the wane Each night I burn the seconds of the day At sunrise every soul is born again. Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous retributions blow? Then turn from the blotted archives of the past And find the future’s pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell! Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven. Each morning gives thee wings from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. Laugh like a boy at splendor that has sped; To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb, My judgment seal the dead past with its dead, And never bind a moment yet to come. Tho deep in mire wring not your hands and weep, I lend my arm to all who say I can. No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. —Selected.

Our melancholy poet, whose poetry is all prose, Is funny Allen McDuffee, as everybody knows; While a class artist of rare talent, who spends her time most gleefully. You’ll find in Winnie Currie—we all like her awfully. Geneva Bither and Jean Mathews are royal men-at-arms; They preserve strict law and order, and as Suffragettes, have charms.

Next comes Hazel Radabaugh, a student tried and true; She always helps our cause along, as Sophomores ought to do. Last, but not least upon our list, comes manly Raymond Burns; He’s an Esperanto victim, and to be a great Musician yearns.

In German Class Miss Applegate—“Vas ist der Akkusative?” Clifford—“What are you accusing me of now?” Reuben—“Yes, I like going to school and I like coming from school, it’s the staying there between times that sticks me.” Other rewards in a debate or oratorical are as great or perhaps greater than the prize offered in either case. Altho Coquille did not capture the prizes, she made a very creditable showing. The question for debate: “Resolved, That Immigration into the United States should be further restricted by an Educational test, ’ ’ was interestingly and skillfully handled. The negative was upheld bv Mae Lund and Janie Lowe against Marshfield, while for the affirmative, Fred Reynolds and Beulah Price spoke against Bandon, at Coquille. The annual oratorical contest for the McCormack cup and the Knowlton Medal was held at Myrtle Point, and Coquille was very ably represented by Laura Watson, who had for her subject, “The New America.” That existing talent has been developed to a remarkable degree in these contests is shown by the expressions of praise on every side for those taking part. Hereafter the contest will take on a double nature in that there will be an oratorical contest for boys and a declamatory for girls, the latter of which will be trained for in the local declamatory contest held during commencement week, and in the future we nope to win laurels by the score.

From Boston the lamp lighted the way of the pioneer across mountain chains, mighty rivers, and far-reaching plains till the radiance of its beams skirted the golden shores of our majestic ocean.” These words from Professor Horner introduce my subject more fittingly than I can do. “Just as the colonists shook off the shackles of tyranny and stood forth in the glory of their free manhood.” So, it was that the pioneer, thrilling with the love of adventure, threw off the ties that bound him to the soil and amid the tears and pleadings of friends and loved ones, started on that long perilous journey across the plains. Sad was the parting, as the long white canvassed train of wagons, drawn by oxen, and followed by droves of cattle, moved slowly from the village. The crack of the whip and the call of the driver sounded a stern farewell. Slowly the train passed down the dusty path, over the hill into the next valley, where they were lost to the view of the anxious ones watching their departure. Then, it was that loneliness came over the heart of the pioneer and a great realization of his undertaking settled heavily upon him. As darkness approached the tents were pitched for the night within a hollow square of wagons; guards marched back and forth, ever alert, ever ready to give the signal of danger at the possible attack of the Indians. At the break of day the sound of the bugle awakened the travelers from their slumbers and a bustle and hurry ran through the camp; breakfast had to be prepared, wagons packed, the cattle herded together and every thing made ready for the journey. At seven o’clock the signal for starting was given and the great caravan moved on. Slowly they plodded along, now crossing swollen streams, which seemed impassible, again traversing vast prairies, ascending high rugged mountains and crawling down steep rocky slopes. Then perhaps arriving at a clear open space where camp would be made and the cattle allowed to graze over the green meadows. The women would rest from the endless jolting of the wagons while the men made the rounds of inspection and some scouted and planned the route for the next march. The children romped and played about the camp, plucking the abundant wild flowers, little troubled by the anxious thoughts of their elders. Never far from the protection of the camp did they dare to roam however, for constant was the fear of the red man, who, feeling that the white man was trespassing on his domains spared nothing of treachery and deceit in his savage revenge. Thus passed month after month of hardships, toil and pain. Many a night was passed by the fathers and mothers hovering over the sick bed of a child, doing all they could for its comfort and lamenting the scantiness and crudeness of their means for relief. Many a plain was marked by a rude mound where some loved one had been laid to rest; for the weak fell by the wayside and only the strong endured the strain. Yet after these sad scenes the rest of the party took up their burden again and the great train moved on its way. Often the mother weeping over the loss of her child forgot her grief in the new dangers daily thrust upon them. How often the sad face of the parent turned heavenward in pleading for strength to endure these sorrows, pains and dangers and yet of • ten were their voices raised in thankfulness for the safety and blessings which were sure to be theirs in the end. At last the long journey was ended and they rested neath the protecting trees of our great western land. The fertile plains stretched out before them; the grand and gloomy forests everywhere surrounded them; majestic rivers and mountains impressed them with a sense of awe and granduer. All these they beheld in their glory; but alas no home awaited their coming and no friends were there to greet them. Only the beautiful heaven above and the rude earth beneath. But these were fearless people, who had surmounted every obstacle without shrinking; for they were graduated from the hard training school of the plains, and could look upon this vast wilderness as home, a home which they could call their own; but one which by their own efforts must make homelike. So they lost no time in hewing from the forest rude cabins, clearing spaces in the woodland, tilling the fertile soil and planting the grain, to be reaped in the harvest time. These women were the daughters of the women who came in the Mayflower, and like unto them spun and wove, and in any home might have been seen a Pricilla with her wheel and distaff as of old. Day after day they labored, each lending a helping hand to the other. For these colonists were like a large family where mutual friendship reigned. Their cares, toils, sorrows and joys were shared alike by all. How strong in their purpose must these brave pioneers have been to keep ever steadily onward; no thought of turning back in despair when perils and dangers confronted them, with their one purpose in view, to free the west and make new homes. They were resourceful men and women, happy in the thoughts of their labor and the great work which lay before them. As a pioneer writer beautifully expresses their spirt: ‘ With the curve of the gleaming plowshare Turning the stubborn clod; Making the flowers of plenty To grow on the virgin sod; Filling the shadowy forests Where ers’t did the wild beast roam, With the thrilling music of labor, And the pleasant voices of home.” But immigration steadily increased and settlements gradually grew, until all the woods and all the valleys became peopled; gradually the red man was driven back and became less savage and dangerous. A short time ago this land was asleep in its wildness, but already the pioneer days are over. The past few years are crowded with great achievements. ‘‘The rough old cabins are fallen, The wigwams of cedar are gone; And still the march of improvement Like the restless tide moves on.” In a rapid succession of events the continent of wilderness, which the pioneer first beheld upon his arrival, has been transformed into a land of cultivated fields, factories throbbing with life and power, churches, school houses, great universities, libraries, temples of art and happy homes—a new America. To whom do we owe these wonderful achievements? To none but the brave pioneers who planted the seed of our present prosperity - who gave to the west their best thoughts, their splendid energies, and in fact their very lives. Not only have they given us a land of wealth and promise but have left a still more valuable heritage in the example of their lives and of the spirit in which they won the land for us. What a debt, we, the younger generation, owe to the pioneer for the rich gifts which he has bestowed upon us. How patriotic and proper it is that we should familiarize ourselves with their thoughts, deeds and lives, and pay to those few pioneers who still remain among us the deepest respect and gratitude. An Oregon writer pays them a noble tribute in these lines: As in the glowing harvest time We think of the sower’s toil; So let us talk of the noble deeds Of those who won the soil, And point our children to their lives So simple, yet so pure A noble legacy of ours While memory shall endure. ” But, whereas, we have seen the work of the pioneer begun and taken up by his children, yet. it is not completed. At this present time we see the new day of the future just breaking into the golden light of the dawn. ‘‘Yonder clouds are, yet, but lined with silver, another hour will reveal them, scarlet and yellow and gold. Mountains of heavenly glory banked up against the sky.” So with our western states; now that the days of the ox cart and pioneer are over the fortunes of this great land await the coming of willing hands to make of it a new America based upon the principles established by our fathers. This is still a land of pioneers. As our fathers’ conquered the plains and forests; so ha e we conquests to make in the fields of politics, government and social reforms. The simple life of the pioneer brought problems which required careful and diligent thought and action. And the complex life of the present brings problems still greater and more ponderous. They are our problems and should receive just such careful and diligent thought as the pioneer gave to his. We might even say still greater thought should be given, for they involve the life, the happiness of not only the people of our state but of the whole nation. The great mills and factories that are coming with our material development bring to us the complex questions of labor. The railroads in whose coming we rejoice bring problems of service, of justice to the people and to the country. And the growing cities of which we are so proud bring the most complex and vexing question of all. And these are only a few of the many that might be mentioned. Cannot we of the West so grapple with and solve these problems that we may be a new America not only in material prosperity but in good government and citizenship as well? A grand and noble new America founded on firm democratic principles? Just as the pioneer met his daily problems of life and settled them with the spirit of sturdy self-reliance and noble fortitude, so should we be able to conquer our difficulties with the same diligent spirit—ever thoughtful of the future; ever true to ourselves and to others; ever honest and upright; ever strong and faithful in our purpose.

The English visitor was getting impressions as to American education. “Do you know your alphabet?” he asked Perry Lawrence. “Yep,” said P. M., “A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I, J,-” “Hold on there, young man,” said the seeker after truth. “Haven’t you left out a letter.” “Yep,” said our speed burner. “I dropped my H, I wanted to see if an Englishman would notice it.” “Pertness is a characteristic of the American youth,” wrote the Englishman later, when he prepared his American notes for publication.

Each team played only four games, so this made the season a short one. Marshfield took the championship by winning two games and tying two. Coquille and Myrtle Point tied, by each winning one, losing two and tying one. The standing of the teams by percentage of games won was: Won Lost Tied Pet Marshfield__________ _____ ________ 2 0 2 1.000 Coquille----- ---- 1 2 1 .333 Myrtle Point______ ______ 1 2 1 .333 The 1912 team was the first ever turned out by the Coquille High School, and was made up entirely by inexperienced men, but under the able coaching of John Miller they put up a strong fight in each game. The team was the lightest in the county and had to depend mainly on trick plays for gains. The Coquille team used the forward pass to a very good advantage to make yardage, and was more successful with it than any other team in the county. Ray Miller was elected captain for the 1913 team. The first game was played against Myrtle Point on the Coquille grounds. This game was won easily by Qoquille, the score being 13 to 0. The second game was against Marshfield, and played at the bay. Marshfield won the game after a close contest by a score of 13 to 7. The following week Marshfield played the return game on the r Backfield: Clay Knowlton, light half; Earl Leslie, full back; Ray Miller, Capt. and left half; Reuben Mast, quarter back. The Line; Milo Dunham, right end; Clifford Kern, right tackle; Fred Reynolds, right guard; Keith Leslie, center; Geo. Akers, left guard; Ross Davenport, left tackle; Irvin Watson left end. John Miller, coach and Perry Lawrence, sub. standing to the side. Coquille grounds. Although the score was a tie 0 to 0, Coquille outplayed the visitors having the ball on Marshfields seven yard line once and within the fifteen yard line several times. In the last game of the season played at Myrtle Point, Coquille was outweighed too much to make a very good showing, but did well with the odds so much against them to hold the score down to 7 to 0 in favor of Myrtle Point. X « r. CAPT. MILLER the sturdy little Half Back of the C. H. S. Football team who is a hard fighter and always encourages his men to the last second. The 1913 season was the most successful Coquille has ever had. By winning six straight games without one defeat, Coquille won the championship by a larger score with less scored against them than any other championship team in the county since basket ball has been played here. All the members of the team were men of several years experience and each knew how to play his position, and under the coaching of Harry Oerding developed into the fastest high school team ever seen in the county. The team won each game by a decisive score, always getting a good lead early in the game and retaining it throughout. Their respective strength with the other county teams is shown by the fact that they made more Reading From Left to Right- Back row: Reuben Mast right toward; Earl Leslie center; Harry Oerdingcoach; Ray Miller left guard; Irvin Watson sub.

The total score of the season was 248 to 63. The standing of the teams at the end of the season was: Coq. N. B. Mar. Ban. Won Pet.

It was not a very fast one as it was played on a slick floor which handicapped both teams. The score ended 26 to 8 in favor of Coquille. The next game with North Bend was the fastest game of the season, although it was one sided. Coquille won the game 36 to 9. The following evening Coquille played at Marshfield. The score was close in this game, as Coquille had to play too much on the defensive, for some of the players were not up to their usual form on account of some minor injuries received the night before at North Bend. The score was 21 to 17 in our favor. The next game with Marshfield on the home floor was won easily by a score of 48 to 10. North Bend played at Coquille next. This game, though not very fast, was the roughest of the season. The game ended with a score of 40 to 8. The last game of the season with Bandon at Coquille was fast throughout, each side depending entirely on team work. The home team won with a score of 67 to 11. The game with the Myrtle Point Alumni, though not a league game, was one of the most important. More interest was taken in this game than any other, because the Myrtle Point team had only been defeated once in three years and had won the county championship for three times in succession. Coquille won easily by a score of 33 to 2. MYRTLE POINT DEFEATED Myrtle Point victors of four years Defeated, uncrowned and spurned. By the grand old Coquille High school. (You see the worm has turned.) And the team that ne’er was defeated Whom victory followed so sure Were sent by the boys of Coquille At last on defeats tour. And all their past good records The boys of the red and white Swept from them relentless, Altho they put up a fight. They came with hearts undaunted These “Champs” of last year’s field, But ere they left our city They knew their doom was sealed. Knew they must yield their honors They’d won in many a fight, To the new champions of Coos County, To the boys of the red and white. Hardly had the game begun Ere our boys a point had scored, Then another,—and another Until they’d run up a hoard. Yes, once in the first half The defeated team scored two. But “People now were asking, “Myrtle Point is who— ? ? ?” Back came the answer Full of lusty cheer, “Myrtle Point is the back number, Defeated “champs” of last year.” “Buckie”, our game little forward, Was there with might and main And we know the Myrtle Pointers Are sighing, and saying — “never again.” Then next in line comes Oerding, Whose plays are hard to beat Who in his subtle vivacious way Performed some dandy feats. Then there was “Spike” our center Who entered the game with zest And made the poor Myrtle Point center Look like a funny jest. Then came “Pete” the mighty Who held his man’s plays from the first And showed that he was in no mean way In the arts of basket ball versed. And then came “Kaptain Knowlton,” Who readily released All honors from the Myrtle Point forward, Until the struggles ceased. And such a bunch of heroes As here we name Could in no better way Win eternal fame. Than by beating the Myrlle Pointers And giving them their due, By beating them at Basket ball With a score of 33 to 2 (Encore) Now lets give three cheers for the Coquille team And three cheers for the red and white, And three cheers for Harry Oerding the basketball coach Who trained them for the fight. —S. M Oerding At present the track team has not been picked as it will be nearly a month and a half before the meet takes place. Nearly all of last years team are out working and with the new men trying for places, the school will be very well represented. Those trying for places are: Urquhart Adams for the mile and half mile; Earl Leslie for the pole vault and high jump; Geo. Oerding for the pole vault and high jump; Clifford Kern for the hurdles; Perry Lawrence for the 100 yd. dash and 220 yd; Ray Burns for the mile and half; Stewart Norton for the half mile; Irwin Watson for the half mile; Clay Knowlton for the 440 yd. dash and broad jump; Reuben Mast for the pole vault and broad jump.

They finished the series with a perfect score, having been victorious in all games played this year. A full series of games was not played, but there were enough games to settle the championship. The Team Lineup Was: Fowards: Norton and Shelly; center: Leslie; guards: Lawrence and Aiams; substitutes: Pike, McDuffee and Davis. HOW TO INCREASE ATTENDANCE . One of the Coquille School directors who is too modest to sign his name, “breaks out” in rhyme and has furnished the Annual with the result as follows: If I were a school director, I know what I’d do; I’d revise the course of study just for me and you. First, this spelling reformation I’d have, thru and thru. And all mathematics problems I’d have solved out too. Then all pesky foreign lingoes in translation done, I’d have printed in the text books into white man’s tongue. For each period of reciting, there’d be minutes three, And for study only two more—that’s enough for me. No grade should be less than ninety and should teacher rob Any pupil of such standing, he should lose his job. Each semester every student to some higher class Should, with credit, be promoted; none should fail to “pass.” Every day from lunch to supper, games of basket ball, Or some game of like necessity, should be played by all. Evenings should be filled with music, dancing,—everything That would add to joy of living -like perpetual Spring. These and more for high school pupils I would quick enforce, And thus make the Coquille High School popular, of course. Paul Wilson, of Leland-Stanford University, and a record breaker in the mile, gave the track team a few pointers on the twentieth day of May, just three days before the meet. All of our speed burners wish that he had come sooner, as his advice was very helpful. Mr. Wilson spent his freshman year in high school in Coquille. r r v We consider that “The Laurel” would be hard to beat for illustrations. Most of them were drawn by the Soph mores and Freshmen, who displayed more interest in our Annual than all the other classes combined. We predict that the classes of ’15 and T6 will be record breakers when they mature a little. K „ Were it not for the kindness and effort of the under classes, our Annual would be a fizzle, and we wish to acknowlegeal! favors received at their hands. The home of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Mast was the scene of a beautifully appointed banquet on the evening of April twenty-sixth, in honor of our championship basket ball team. Covers were placed for fifteen and the host and hostess were assisted by the Misses Leta Mast, Dorothy and Laura Watson. Those present were: Messrs. Earl Leslie, George Oerding, Irvin Watson, Ray Miller, Rueben Mast, Clifford Kern, Clay Knowlton, Walter Oerding, Harry Oerding. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. M. Robertson and Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Mast. A group of young peo- pie were invited in for the remainder of the evening, and games were played. At twelve o’clock a luncheon was served, after which the party broke up, all agreeing that they had had the very best time of the season. � , The School year that we are about to conclude has been satisfactory in many respects, the teachers have every reason to believe that their efforts have not been wasted. The Athletic Association is in funds and the student body has interested itself in new departments of endeavor, as witness the football team and “The Laurel.” . r K Ur. Schaffer, professor of History of Oregon University, spoke at the Masonic Hall in April. He chose for his subject: “Educational Futures.” In the course of his discourse he stated that the type of education needed at the present time was one which while developing the ethical and intellectual faculties of the youth would enable him to adapt himself to any new conditions that might influence him in later life. Dr. Schaffer seems to practice what he preaches, for he is adapting himself, as an educator, to a new type of education. � , ?: Mr. Bauer, the Chaplain of the Oregon State Prison, gave an interesting talk to the pupils of the High School. He dwelt on the necessity of “Power” and the desirability of “Control” and incidentally warned us that without self control we might some day find ourselves behind prison bars. He made the statement that strong drink was a main factor in the ruin of a majority of those people now lodged in Oregon’s Prison, and that the most depraved criminals are invariably cigarette smokers. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES , r r Rev. C. H. Cleaves of the Methodist Church South of Coquille has been selected by the Class of T3 to deliver their Baccalaureate sermon. The services will be held at the church of which Rev. Cleaves is pastor on the evening of June 1.
