Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1914 volume:

The Senior Class of 1914 presents this book to the Coquille High School, its students, faculty and friends, in the hope that it may give some idea of the progress of the different departments. It is the earnest wish of the Editors that, in future years, it will prove a source of delight as a memory book. Alice Culin____. George Oerding.

Teacher MANKATO NORMAL Due to the extension courses of the Oregon State University and Normal School. Coos County has been especially fortunate in securing several good speakers this year. •t n We were honored by a visit from Dr. Hodge, Extension lecturer from the University of Oregon, who gave an interesting discussion on the .fly, it’s cause, results and several methods of extinction. He advocated general sanitation and a fly-swatter as effective means of killing these pests. Although Coquille is a beautiful little city, it harbors such things as flies, and it would be well if Dr. Hodge’s suggestions were acted upon, w m � Bill Hayward, Physical Director of U. of 0., addressed the High School on the subject of “Athletics.” The theme of his talk was the Dependence of Success on Clean Living. Although his address was interesting, and the boys were much enthused, we would suggest that hereafter Mr. Hayward make his tours before the basket-ball season closes. Mr. McCaullay, secured for an entertainment by the Library Association, rendered a few selections in the High School rooms, which delighted a large audience of High School and grade pupils. « t it Mr. Pitman chose “Dreams” as a subject on which to give an interesting address before the High School. Mr. Pitman believes in day-dreams as a source of great achievments. In support of his idea, he cited the work of such men as Napoleon, Fulton, Edison and others. «t m The Department of Political Economy was represented here by Dr. Gilbert, of the University of Oregon. His subject was “Imagination as a Basis of Achievements Along Material and Cultural Lines” and he laid particular stress on making present sacrifices for future good, and the using of material gain for the development of the aesthetic side of life. m, « A twenty-minute period has been set aside twice a week, in the high school, for a spelling lesson; and although no extra credit is given, the students take a great deal of interest in this method of self-improvement « ? Most of this year’s graduating class has attended the Coquille High School for the entire four years of the course. The standard of work has been high, and the future interest of the class will be centered on the maintenance and further improvement of this type of excellence. Improvement cannot be brought about without the cooperation of those to whom we must look for financial support. The fact that the high school is accredited at the University of California is sufficient to show that the course is strong, and ought to induce the tax-payers to come to the rescue and furnish a new and up-to-date building, equipped with modern apparatus that is in keeping with the present Age of Science. m. m, The Senior Class takes this opportunity to thank the advertisers for their patronage. We fully realize that without their help, the “Laurel” would have been an impossibility.

To the Junior class of '14 we will the honor and adaptability of occupancy of our seats in the honor section of the assembly room. Miss Beulah Price wills to Edna Harlocker the artistic accomplishment of making Goo-Goo eyes. Irvin Watson wills to “Ole” Lund the knack of showing his bashfulness by the unconscious movement of his hand toward his mouth when in conversation with a girl. Alice Culin wills to Geneva Robinson her undisputed authority on all questions concerning woman suffrage. To Doris Peoples, Imogene Alexson wills her differential walk. George Oerding wills to Mr. Stewart Norton of the Junior class of ’14, his inestimable power of translating and reciting German. Georgia Watson wills to Miss Hazel Radabaugh that melodious laugh. Ray Miller wills to Keith Leslie the honor of being the only red-headed upper class-man. Erma Culin, the sentimental roughouser wishes to will her unquestioned privilege of differentation, in any science, romance or song, to Vera Kelley. Perry Lawrence desires to will to Raymond Burns the supernatural power which he claims he possesses of enticing the young ladies with whom he comes in contact. To Verna Phillips, Alice Stanley wills her highly trained observing ability, especially when casting her magnificent optics with such sweet expression at the young men within her scope of view. Earl Leslie wills to George Akers the natural unmistakability of winning the attractions and favors of the ladies. Naomi Knowlton wills to Olive Howey the accumulated, superfluous power of being the best avoirdupoised athlete of all the girls of the Coquille High School. Clifford Kern wills to Roy Avery, his overestimated capacity for thinking. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, this twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Fourteen. Signed—Class of ’14. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the seniors of Fourteen the testator above-named, as for our last testament in our presence, and we, at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witness on the day above mentioned.

CLASS POEM s Sounds a song on the air, Happy, joyous, free; Ring of triumph that is there Tells to you and me, Of many a trial successfully passed, Of hearts that still beat strong: As hopes are realized at last— And realizing turned to song. Above the clouds of grim despair, There where the sun peeps out, Far up the mountain height, Resting a moment there To glory in their youthful might And to drink of the upper air. ' Known is the trail to them— Ambition and Fame Call without fail to them, “Here’s honor and Name!’’ Higher for every fall, This is the way for them. Duty has joined the call—-Work is but play for them. Dear is the school to them, Dear all it teaches. Higher it points for them Toward life’s blue reaches. When school her portals, all, Swing shut behind them, Ambition and fame that call, Successful shall find them. And this is whom? This is the Junior Class— Seniors make room! Life means to them an aim— An effort to pass, Seeking the heights of fame; This is the Junior Class. —Roy M. Avery ’15. JUNIOR CREED •t « We believe that the Junior Class of 1914 is the most brilliant, original, and popular class that C. H. S. will ever produce. We firmly believe that our poem is worthy of having come from the pen of Shakespeare. We earnestly believe that our motto is inspiring enough to carry us joyfully on our way to Seniorhood. We believe our colors, red and white the most gorgeous combination Nature ever saw fit to create. We believe our yell, the shrillest, loudest, and most genuinely enthusiastic of any ever heard on any foot-ball field. Again, we believe in the Junior Class; that its fame as the most glorious class of the 20th century will be handed down to posterity through generation after generation for ever and ever.

IN MEMORIAM iHrlintt Snsa Saimtpnrt Dirfc iJulif 3n. 1313 IN the death of Ross Davenport, Coquille High School lost one of her finest boys. Quiet and unassuming, without boast or brag, whether in the class room or on the football field, Ross always came up to highest expectations. He was such a young man as the community can ill afford to lose. The news of his death came with a sense of personal loss to every student and teacher.

Sitting (Left to Right) Doris Peoples, Julian Leslie, Ruth Young. A POEM OF OPTIMISM K K K If you treat the world right It will treat you the same. Fight fair—win fair— Everything you undertake, And never oh never Put your honor at stake. Speak well of all men, Pass along a good word. Don’t repeat all the mean things That you’ve ever heard. Be cheerful, -be happy Always, if you can, And you’ll find happiness Is contagious to man. Meet life’s battles bravely, Face the world on the square, And you’ll find that success Will follow you everywhere. Don’t whine and don’t cringe When you meet sorrow and care. For each man has his burdens And must learn how to bear. And if life ever seems all bitterness Just smile thru your tears And if it seems then you will fail Let courage calm your fears. Struggle on then, bravely. And in the end you’ll find Those who hadn’t the courage to venture Are those left far behind. Give yourself a fighting chance To make your life worth while, And always stand for truth and honor No matter what may beguile. —Stella M. Oerding. BE HAPPY x x x Yes the world is filled with sorrow But life has its bright sides, too, And if we sit and grumble These bright sides all “skidoo” So be not then a cynic. With a drawn woeful face Go forth and meet your battles, But with a manly grace. Life is short at its longest So let’s make it sweet while we may; Be not the “dog in the manger” For life will soon pass away. —Stella M. Oerding. s (■ Roy—“Say, Winnie did you ever hear the story about the mountain?” Winnie—“No tell it to me.” Roy- “It was all a bluff.” x X Naomi (eating dinner in the country) —“Oh what exquisite honey, you must keep a bee.” x x x Isn’t it funny that the best time to catch soft water is when it is raining hard. X X X Knowledge without practise is like a bow without a string. X X X After all there is nothing so interesting in life as life itself.

This has been the first year that the Coquille High School has had an organized course of this kind. There has been some indidual training done but never any class work. The Class this year numbered thirteen and although they have not had the opportunity of every day class work, the regular work coming only three times a week, they have received a great deal of benefit from it. Miss Guinn has time to give but a few of the fundamental principles of this work, but it is to be hoped that it will continue to be a regular outlined course. r, r r Poise—Breathing -Pure Tones —Stress Public-Speaking of C.

PANTOMIMES «s THE WRONG PLACE j „ j (Supposed to be said in pantomime) “Can youse spare me a boit to eat Loidy,” asked one of the ferocious looking tramps. “Can’t you see for yourself how thin I am.’’ Olive retorted, closing the door with a slam. As an incentive to interest and an exercise toward freedom in personality Miss Guinn introduced the pantomime in the work of the Public Speaking which brought out some excellent originality as well as talent. Most of the pantomimes produced were those composed and staged by the students, two of which deserve special mention, namely: “The Dentist Chair’ and the “Fate of the Tramps,” of which the above picture is the illustration. Howard, givingadescription of a man, “Silas had rosy cheeks.” Merril (piping up), — “It is not natural for men to have rosy cheeks.” Howard -“Well, I guess its not natural for girls either, they just manafacture theirs.” SCENE FROM THE PLAY “THANK GOODNESS, THE TABLE IS SPREAD” CLASS RECEPTION FOR TEACHER m. r On the evening of the 14th, immediately after the recital the class surprised their teacher, Miss Guinn, with a little reception. As soon as the curtain had dropped, after the finale, they came to her, and in the midst of the triumphs of success one of the prominent members in behalf of the class presented her with a beautiful lavalliere. Tnen she was informed that a little ice-cream social was to be held in her honor. Miss Guinn was too much surprised and delighted to express her gratitude in words, but in looks and actions one could see she was filled with pleasure and appreciated the honor very highly. An hour or two was spent in doing justice to the ice-cream and wafers and discussing the various numbers of the program, then the little party adjourned, feeling their earnest efforts and hard work had not all been in vain. “THE OBSTINATE FAMILY ONE-ACT PLAY r r CAST Mrs. Jessie Harford______________ Mr. Henry Harford________________ Mrs. Harwood_____________________ Mr. Harwood_________ Lucy______________ ______________ James_________ ..._______________ Time - Present Place—Coquille w The Obstinate Family, a witty little play, not founded upon special plot but only a related incident which brings out a tiny thread of the true character of the average man or woman, in the Masonic Hall May 14. As the name suggests so is the theme “Obstinacy” although it might well be named “Thank Goodnes the Table is Spread.” The leading roles, Mrs. and Mr. Harford, were taken by Miss Verna Phillips, a sophomore, who carried her part with much strength and vivacity, and Perry Lawrence, a senior, who made an excellent newly-wed in the tender and loving sympathy he portrayed to his young wife. The old characters, Mrs. and Mr. Harwood, were represented by Miss Alice Stanley and George Oreding, both seniors. Alice carried her role with exceptional ability and true naturalness while George in his usual easy-going manner received great applause from the large audience. The servant parts, James and Lucy, who started the trouble on which the play is based, were taken by Julian Leslie and Mary Fussone. Julian in his usual attitude created a great deal of interest and played his part with utter forgetfulness of self and with determination to conquer the “wili” of women, while Mary Fusonne carried her role with exquisite simplicity and true adaptability. These people deserve great credit for the earnest efforts they put forth to make this programme a success. Miss Verna Phillips _ Perry Lawrence .Miss Alice Stanley George Oerding .Mary Fusonne .Julian Leslie DORIS PEOPLES EARL LESLIE SPEAKER ORATOR wt � DECLAMATORY j jt In the Declamatory-Oratorical contest held at Bandon on the evening of April 24, C. H. S. had two exceedingly strong representatives, Doris Peoples, as our contestant in declamation, recited “The Soldier of France,” an adaptation of a portion of “Under Two Flags ” Miss Peoples has won medals in local contests and the students had every confidence in her ability to make a good showing at Bandon. In this they were not disappointed, for she took second place in a very close contest, being defeated by only one point in the summing up of ranks. Coquille’s orator was Earl E. Leslie, who recited a portion of Patrick Henry’s address before the Virginia Assembly. Though new in the field of oratory, Earl went at his speech like an old timer and carried off first place, bringing home the McCormac silver cup. A magnificent voice, a fine stage presence and an intense earnestness of delivery, were the elements that won the contest for him. SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR jt j j The Annual Banquet of the Educational League held ac Woodman hall Friday night, April 24th, was attended by about a hundred and fifty people, including the members of the league and their invited guests, and was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The Reception Hall, dining room, and tables were beautifully decorated with dogwood blossoms, evergreens and roses, and the Seniors deserve great credit for their work. The musical and literary program came first and it reflected credit on those who prepared it as well as those who took part in it. After a Grand March around the hall, the crowd repaired to the adjoining dining room where a bounteous repast was served by the members of the Senior Class. The next feature of the program was toasts, R. S. Knowlton presiding as toast master. Mr. H. 0. Anderson, Miss Ahern, Mr. H. W. Young, Mrs. G. W. Brandon, and Prof. Howard responded to toasts on various subjects. The merrymakers dispersed in the wee hours of the morning, and all look forward with eager anticipation to the future annual banquets of the league. K R K The High school Basket Ball team was entertained at the home of E. E. Johnson, Saturday evening, December 20th. That the boys enjoyed it immensely goes without saying. Each guest found his place at the table by means of dainty place cards in the forms of C. H. S. pennants. After dinner the boys were entertained by music and games. Those present were Coach Oerding, Phillip Johnson, “Buckie” Mast, Clifford Kern, Keith Leslie, George Oerding, Earl Leslie, Ray Miller, Clay Knowlton, Walter Oerding, Roy Avery, and Irvin Watson. ■ The Football boys were entertained at the home of Verna Phillips on Saturday evening, December 27. The evening was very pleasantly spent in playing “500,” and a delightful luncheon was served. r. r The only real High School frolic which we have had this year, took place at the school building on Hallowe’en Eve. The rooms were appropriately decorated, and our cartoonists deserve special praise for their crayon work. Witches, goblins and ghosts were every where in evidence. Everyone was out for a good time, and lots of amusing incidents occurred. The supper consisted of pumpkin pie and cider. To Miss Guinn and Miss Hansen belongs a great deal of credit for the success of the party. . « « The Freshies of 1914 have enjoyed many of the class entertainments which are always indulged in by classes with true High School spirit. Among their many social gatherings was the party atPlvler’s on the 27th of March of which Miss Evalena was hostess. It was with the usual vim and class spirit that the young people assembled that evening which was started off with music, popular songs, and appropriate games. One of the most interesting games of the evening was the so-called Faith, Hope and Charity, after which refreshments were served which were too bountiful and delicious to be expressed in words. MENU. Sandwiches ____________________________________________Pickles Cake ... ___________ __________________________________Fruit Ice-Cream Lemonade. s «t Another of the many social functions which must be mentioned on account of its extra-ordinary social value to our class, was the one given at the home of J. H. Oerding, the host and hostess being Charley and Miss Stella. As has been stated this was indeed an extra-ordinary entertainment. The program was arranged in such a novel manner as to create an unflagging interest throughout the entire evening. According to the usual custom a very sumptuous repast was served.

The Juniors and Sophomores are preparing plans for entertaining the Seniors at the home of Olive Howey In the latter part of May. « n « The Sophomore Class was entertained at an Easter Party April 10, 1914, at the home of Mrs. Geo. E. Peoples. Easter games were played thruout the evening and prizes were given to the winners. Dainty refreshments were served at the midnight hour. K It K The R. L. H. P. Club held a “little girls” party at Vera Kelly’s March 10, and a “poverty” party at the home of Mary Levar, April 24. w « Ray Miller entertained the Seniors at a bonfire party during the latter part of April. A Freshman “Be quiet.” Another— ‘ ‘Why ?’ ’ Jack— “I hear—I hear a ‘Puget sound’ ’. (T’was the stroke of the mid-night hour.) K K K It was Clifford who was bemoaning the fact that he had forgotten to fasten the door of his chicken house the night before. “Were they stolen?” asked Raymond. “No; they went home.” • r v Emily — ‘ ‘I wish we could kill those horrid dogs. They bark so. ’ ’ Mr. Harlocker— “Yes, they do have three good barking spells a week. When they come at 8 in the evening and when they leave at 3 in the morning.” m. at Irvin and Raymond Burns were out hunting and Raymond shot at a bird flying in the air. It fell to the ground dead. “Well, you got it,” said Irvin. “Yes,’’said Raymond, “but I might as well have saved my shot. The fall would have killed it.” The season of 1913 proved an eventful one for C. H. S. winning the Coos County interscholastic league without a point ever being scored against the team. At the commencement of the season there were eight men from last years team with several good men who had starred on other High School teams. Twenty-five men responded to Capt. Miller's call in September for foot ball. John Miller was again secured for coach, and after three weeks of practice a game was scheduled with the Coquille Firemen. At the end of the first half the score stood: Coquille High school-37, Firemen—0. Coach Miller put in several substitutes during the third and fourth quarters and the score ended: C. H. S.— 50, Firemen—0. After two weeks of hard scrimmage the team and entire Student Body journeyed to Myrtle Point for the first league game of the season. After a spectacular game, Coquille won 18 to 0. K K K The next game was played on the Coquille gridiron with Myrtle Point. Coquille played an open game using the forward pass and several Rugby formations to good advantage. Myrtle Point was smothered with Coquille open field playing and the game ended with the score standing: Coquille—49, Myrtle Point—0. Marshfield for some unknown reason disbanded after a few preliminary games which gave Coquille the interscholastic title. Coquille received an offer from the Ferndale High School winner of the interscholastic title of Humboldt County, California, for a game there on Christmas day. The financial terms were accepted and the trip would have been taken but for the fact that the Fern-dale School was closed on the fifteenth of December on account of Poleomyclites. Coquille being unable to make the trip accepted a game with an “All Star Team” of Coos Bay which was played at North Bend on Christmas day. After a gruelling contest the game ended Coquille High School—0; ■ Coos Bay “All Stars”—0. “The Evening Record” of Marshfield commenting on the game said: “The visitors showed the best foot-ball that has been played on the Bay in seven years. Their interference was grand, their defence was superb,and their team work was so exact their heavier opponents had great difficulty in stopping them. They are admittedly a well trained eleven!” R R R Keith Leslie was elected Captain for 1914, playing his second year on the C. H. S. team. Last year he played center. This year Coach Miller moved him out to right end for his ability to receive forward passes. “Brick” is no ten second man in going down under punts but he is a wizard on the receiving end of forward passes and is a fearless tackier. R R R “Stub” Avery is one of the best tackles that has ever been developed in Coos County interscholastic circles. R. R R “Tame” Lawrence played a star game at center for us this season. He is an accurate passer and a strong defensive piayer. In every game he has broken thru and tackled the back field men for large losses. “Tame” is a senior. R R R “Curly” Shelton broke in as guard this year and played a stellar game throughout the season. R R R “Bones” Hobson played at tackle for several games and did some star work. He was especially good at breaking up forward passes. R R R “Rushaw” Watson has played two years of sensational football at right end for us. He is very lively in going down the field under punts and invaribly throws the safety in his tracks. He is especially strong on breaking up end plays. “Rushaw” graduates this year. « « Capt. “Pete” Miller moved up from half back to quarter back this year. He is a remarkably heady player, a good punter, a clever open field runner and a sure and hard tackier. “Pete” has been Captain the last two years. We lose him by graduation this year. t “Buckie” Mast earned the name of “Old Reliable” at left half early in the season. He is the most sensational open field runner that has ever worn the Cardinal of Coquille. Buckie weighs one hundred and sixty pounds, does the Century in close to even time. Once in the open it is almost impossible to pull him down. m at i “Speed” Kern has played two years for Coquille. He is an all round football man, being equally strong on defense and offense. He is the best man on the team for running interference. “Speed” graduates this year “Spike” Leslie has been playing full back for us for two years. He came to us from Sacramento High School, where he was a star in rugby foot-ball. He can knock down, bowl over, tear loose from more would-be tacklers than any man who has ever been in interscholastic foot-ball here. As a punter he has no superior in the state. He is a phenomenal drop kicker. His drop kick from the 25 yard line in the Myrtle Point game is a record which we predict will stand for several seasons. “Spike” is a senior. « « Roy “Bullet” Watson as a freshman is about the best football player ever seen at the Coquille High School. With a little more experience “Bullet” should develop into a star.

THE LINEUP ■ji COQUILLE MAKING YARDAGE CAPT. EARL LESLIE jt j v A great deal of the credit for the success of our athletics this year is due to Captain Earl Leslie. He is not only a full-back in foot ball but a star center in basket ball. His ability to handle both these games is certainly remarkable. PERRY LAWRENCE j j j High School spirit has been especially noticeable in the Coquille High School this year. We have learned to say “our” in a broader and more patriotic sense. Great credit is due Perry Lawrence, our yell-leader, for his earnest efforts in organizing, and drilling the Yell Club of our High School. RAY MILLER, MANAGER jt j j Ray Miller, a senior, and a mostlenthusiastic athlete, has held the important position of business manager. A great deal of the success of the different teams depends upon the energetic work of the business manager. Ray held this position last year and was so succes-ful in the undertaking that the honor was bestowed upon him again. Besides this, he had a very important position in both the Foot-ball and Basket-ball Teams. Ray is a true athlete and deserves much credit for his work. R R R Ray Miller, who had taken an outing with a few other boys one Friday evening, became very hoarse and also caught a cold. The following Monday morning he came with a note which he handed to Miss Hanson: “Do not let Ray learn any German today. His throat is so sore he can hardly speak English.” r, k The men who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticise.

At no time was there any certainty as to the class of showing thatCoquille would make and this was due to the lack of “pep that showed an ability to crop out at the most inopportune times. Coquille was strong on defense. « n n The first practice game of the season was with the Coquille Firemen. Coquille High romped away with the game safely tucked in the first half. At the beginning of the second half Coach Oerding put in several substitutes. They succeeded in maintaining the lead throughout and the score read; Coquille High School-37, Firemen—25. r, r Coquille started the season by defeating Myrtle Point on their own court by a score of 25 to 19. A great number of fouls were called on both sides. Myrtle Point made eleven of her points by free throws from the foul line. � t at Coquille defeated Bandon at Coquille by the score of 39 to 9. K at A week later Coquille defeated Marshfield at Coquille by a score of 40 to 11. r r v The next game Coquille went down to defeat in the hardest fought basket ball game ever pulled off in Coos county. At the end of the game the score board showed North Bend 14, Coquille 10. K K it In the return game the following Friday at Coquille North Bend was again victorious. The tall North Bend center paved the way for defeat; he alone making the entire 18 points for his team. Over six hundred basket ball fans witnessed this game. While the North Bend center was piling up his 18 points Coquille also annexed 14 to her credit. « � t at In the return game with Myrtle Point Coquille maintained the lead throughout. The score board showed Coquille 49, Myrtle Point 24. at « at Thinking there was no chance for championship honors, Coquille dropped the return game with Marshfield at Marshfield by the close score of 24 to 22. at at r The following Friday the Coquille team went to Bandon and won easily by a score of 25 to 10. r. at at The standing of the teams is as follows: Teams.

Hurry, they wont last long.” at at at There is a mistake somewhere when the foot-ball fans say that Perry Lawrence played the entire season without getting his suit dirty. THE DOCTOR’S SUGGESTION j j Perry, who is very vain of his personal appearance, went to the doctor one day and asked him to explain a singular circumstance. “Doctor,” he said, “my hair is perfectly black, but the fuzz on my face is turning white rapidly, now how do you account for that?” “Wei I, ” replied the physician. “1 don’t know unless it is because your jaws have worked a great deal harder than your brain.” jt jt jt ffl “I'll bet that the cup which was won in our recent oratoireal contest is very valuable,” said Benny Hersey. “Yes replied Verna, it makes me feel rich just to think that I’ve been standing near it for fifteen minutes.” j j j Clifford—“I don’t believe that fable about the whale swallowing Jonah.” Mr. Robertson- “Why not? That’s nothing to what you expect me to swallow sometimes.” j jt j Julian—“Earl, one of the fellows says I look like you.” Earl—“And what did you say.” Julian—“G! I couldn’t say nothing’. He’s a lot bigger’n me.” j jt jt George in History class—I see something into him and sometimes he has a pretty good head onto him. j j j An educated man is one who knows where to look for what he wants, but a wise man is one who knows what to want. Mr. Jones—“Had a serious accident last night.’' Mr. Smith, “So, what was it?” Mr. Jones—“My girl and I were sitting under a lamp post and it fell over, pinning us to the ground.” Smith—“Well, what did you do?” Jones—“Sent for Post Master.” Smith—“Post Master! Why did you send for him?” Jones — “To take the post off us. ” .4 J Jt Beulah -“I will never marry a man whose fortune has not at least five ciphers in it.” Stewart—“Take me, mine is all ciphers.” George (to the teacher in Shakespeare) —“Please which was de man, Romeo or Juliet?” j jt j Buckie in his car—“Where are you going Erma?” Erma—“Oh! Just a minute Buckie until I go into the bakery and then I’ll get in.” Buckie in an undertone—“Pickles! I was just going to ask her if she had seen Verna and now I’ll have to take her fora ride.” j j Marion to Pete (who is studying music) — “Don’t you have any trouble keeping time in your music?” Pete—“Oh no! Mr. Robertson had us buy little books to keep our time in.” j j j Robertson (in Physics Class) —“Can any of you tell me the real reason why a boy puts a carpet on the grass and ‘beats it’?” J ,4 J Mr. Robertson (in Business Arithmetic class) —“Geneva what is watered Stock?” Geneva—“I’m not exactly sure but I know it is inflated.” j4 j4 .J Geneva—“Did you take my picture?” Perry—“Yes, but you were gone when I snapped the camera.” j j, George—“Say, Ma, that there plant you had on the piano is dead.” Mrs. Aker—“Well, no wonder!” Miss Hansen in commercial Geography Class—“Where are most of the nuts found?” Bright Ham—“In Salem!” m, � s Edna to Perry —“Say Perry what do you wear a vest for?” Raymond, hearing the question—“What do you wear a blouse for, Edna?” K K K Harold to Nosler’s parrot—“Polly want a cracker?” Polly—“Shut up, you talk too much!” « «s m.

Perry has given me the keeping of his heart.” Geneva—“I’d advise you to handle it carefully and look well after the cement. Last month he told me I had broken it.” « « « The man who makes a small noise is better than the one who is but a big echo. « « « “Are you a humorist”, asked the editor of the Annual of Clifford who had applied for a position on the staff. “Yes,” said Clifford irritably, “I’m a ‘sprache studenten.’ ” t tn Mr. Robertson (in Business Arithmetic) —“If oil costs .62¥ per gallon-” Harold—“You said sixty-two and five-tenths before.” John — “Say Anna, what piece is that ‘Pete’ is playing on the piano?” Anna—“Why that’s “First Steps in Music.” John—“Gee! Isn’t there anything he can play with his hands?” it � S it Passenger—“Why are we so late?” Guard- “Well sir, the train in front was behind, and this train was behind before besides.” « n n Professor (returning home from visiting) “Aha! your absent minded husband didn’t forget to bring home his umbrella this time. Wife—“Why! When you left home you didn’t take an umbrella.” t It Janie—“Are your folks well to do?” Marion “No, they’re hard to do.” it it it George during soph class meeting “Cut out the foolishness. I’ve got a hen to feed tonight”—and with that the class adjourned. We lose vigor through thinking continually the same set of thoughts. A new thought is new life. •t it it Surely it’s funny to think that when Cupid hits his mark he generally Mrs. it. it Irvin— “What are the blue notes?” Mrs. Gam bell—“The kind you sing, Irvin.” A Senior—“The doctor says I must throw up everything and take a sea voyage. ’ ’ A Freshman “Got the cart before the horse didn’t he?” it it it Lady Caller— “Is your daughter a finished musician?” Mrs. Peoples “No, but the neighbors are making threats.” Olive—“I hear you keep a list of all the banks in the state.” Harold—“Yes, I like to be able to say I keep a bank account.” TYPEWRITING At the beginning of the present term (1913-14) typewriting was included in the course of study of the High School for the first time, with Supt. Howard as instructor. A class of fourteen was enrolled at that time. Since then a number of other pupils have entered, though only sixteen are taking the subject at present. The pupils have received much praise in regard to their speed and the quality of their work. Much favorable comment has also been made concerning the excellent care of the machines. Four Underwood typewriters are used and a touch method employed. The enrollment of the entire class is: Alice Culin, Erma Culin, Clifford Kern, Perry Lawrence, Jane Lowe, Reuben Mast, Ray Miller, George Oerding, Doris Peoples, Flora Phillips, Irvin Watson, Geneva Robinson, Mark Shelley, Raymond Burns, Mary Levar, Ruth Young, Imogene Alexson, James Thrift, Hazel Radabaugh, Harold Moore and Vera Kelley. m. at “TYPEWRITER OR TYPIST?” A typewriter is one who typewrites on the typewriter, and the typewriter is a machine on which the typewriter who typewrites on the typewriter typewrites. Now, the typewriter who typewrites on the typewriter typewrites on the typewriter until there is no more typewriting to be typewritten by the typewriter on the typewriter on which the typewriter who typewrites on the typewriter typewrites. •S K MAXIMS “Answering the telephone is not your job. Let’er ring!” “Only typewriting to be studdied in this room. Leave all dime-novels at your seats!” ‘ ‘Love letters are not to be written on these machines. They would be better appreciated in hand-writing anyway.” “If this room had been intended for spooning we should have furnished a couch.” “Don’t play with the bell-rope!” “No rough-housing allowed!” (Keep it on the quiet.) “Don’t use your eraser!” (Borrow one.) “An eraser is detrimental to your progress.” (Unless it leaves no traces.) « m « SUGGESTIONS “Be careful to brush under typewriter thoroughly after each period to leave no tell-tale pieces of eraser. ’ ’ “Keep a brick in the cover of your machine in case of a fight or rough-house.” “Keep a cleaning brush and oil can in your pocket so that you may be industrously cleaning your typewriter should one of the teachers enter the room unexpectedly.” “Don’t throw peanut shells, candy sacks, orange peel etc., in the waste basket. They’re a ‘dead give-away.’ ” “Keep the typewriting room free from rats and mice. They disturb the bell rope.” “Don’t blame everything on the other fellew; he may have feelings too.” “It is suggested that an efficient docter be secured for Pete’s machine which has ‘bad spells’ frequently after his absences from the typewriting room. MUSICAL NOTES j . Until this year no encouragement has been given to high school students who were taking music lessons of any kind. This term, however, extra credits will be given to those pupil who have handed in satisfactory reports from their musical instructors, and therefore a large number of would-be Paderewskies and Carusos are taking advantage of the credits offered to develop their obvious talents. t It was a great blow to the whole high school when Hugh Har-locker, one of their most promising aspirants for classical fame, found that the excitement of school life seriously interfered in the development of his artistic temperament and so took his departure. r it Two other students who deserve honorable mention are Earl Leslie and Irvin Watson. Irvin’s rendering of “Love’s Old Sweet Song” is indeed beautiful, and the popularity of Earl’s base voice is shown by the large number of entertainments at which he is asked to sing. r n K Ray Miller and Naomi Knowlton are also prominent members of the musical set, and Mr. Miller’s original variations on “Where is My Wandering Boy tonight” is touching. K K K We have been promised the pleasure of a cornet solo by Stewart Norton and a selection by George Akers, which will be a great treat to all. In the Junior class Geneva Robinson, Edna Harlocker, (who is blessed with the true musical genius of the Harlocker family) and Raymond Burns are also enthusiastic pianists. m. «t « The twenty minute periods devoted to singing in the mornings under the direction of Miss Guinn were not a success, as the students showed such a desire for studying at this time that only a few voices were heard, and it was a benefit to only a small number. r r v Besides those already mentioned, there is a large number of Sophomores and Freshmen who will keep up the reputation of the Coquille school next year along musical lines. Of them great things are expected. AULD LANG SYNE « m m Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days of auld lang syne? Chorus: For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne; We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet For auld lang syne.

COOS COUNTY TRACK MEET In the Coos County Track Meet at Myrtle Point, Saturday, May 23, five men represented Coquille. Several of the men that were to be on the team did not train consistently and were not selected by the school to take part in the meet. Owing to the small number entering Coquille did not make a strong bid for the meet. The members that placed in the points were: Miller—440 yd. run, first; Lawrence—100yd. dash, second; 220yd. dash, second; Watson—880yd. run, second; Hooton, pole vault, third. Coquille also carried off the relav championship pennant. The relay team con-sistedof the following men: Miller, Watson, Kern, and Lawrence. N. T. C. CLUB K K K The N. T. C. is a girl’s Club that was organized for the sole purpose of promoting general good times among its members—ten C. H. S. girls and one other, an “honorary.” This society meets once in every two weeks at the home of one of the girls. All bring their fancywork and the evening is pleasantly passed in sewing and talking until the luncheon hour, usually about 10:30. After refreshments the members are entertained with readings, stories, music or “stunts.” Those belonging to this club are: Verna Phillips, Alice Stanley, Doris Peoples, Beulah Price, Stella Oerding, Winnie Curry, Imogene Alexson, Marion Schroeder, Naomi Knowlton, Georgia Watson, and Ruby Lammy. S “Verna and Mary had a violent quarrel at the rehearsal last evening, ” said Alice. “Is that so. How did they settle it?” asked Buelah. “Oh, They went to their dressing rooms and made up,” replied Alice.” m. m George Oerding (looking over college course of study) —“Trig-gernometry,’ Let me see, I’ll need a lot of that, I always was a poor shot.” R r r Hazel: “Luella told me you told her that secret I told you not to tell her.” Mildred:—“She’s a mean thing! I told her not to tell you I told her.” Hazel:—“Well, I told her I wouldn’t tell you she told me, so don’t tell her I did.” K K K Teacher:—“Paul, do you think you got this problem right?” Paul:—“I don’t think, I know I didn’t” R R R Miss Ahern:—“Clara, tell something about Cooper’s life.” Clara—“Cooper commited suicide twice and then died in 1851.” The program will be as follows: Commencement March Raymond Burns Music... _________ ___________Coquille Orchestra Invocation ... ____________ Rev.
