HISTORY, CLASS OF 1915 9 It was during the month of September in the year 1911 that the Senior Class of 1915 first enrolled in the Coquille High School. Those answering the roll that morning were: Geneva Bither, Raymond Burns, Winnie Curry, Abbie Ellwood, Elizabeth Fox, Nellie Gardiner, Sadie Krantz, Oletia Land, Janey Lowe, Wendyl Medlock, Allen McDuffee, Vera Nelson, Stewart Norton, Hazel Radabaugh, Geneva Robinson, Fred Shelton, Marc Shelley, Ula Slagle, Nita Schroeder, Jim Thrift, and Frank Thrift. As Freshmen we won no unusual distinction being typically green and fresh, altho one of our number, Geneva Bither, entered the tryout for the Oratorical Contest.

It was during this term that the High School published the first issue of the “Laurel.” Geneva Robinson and Janey Lowe were appointed reporters for the Sophomore class. At a class meeting Marc Shelley was elected President; Janey Lowe Vice-President; and Harold Moore Secretary-Treasurer. In the interscholastic debate held at Marshfield we were represented by Janey Lowe. As Juniors we had suffered a still further decrease in numbers; Winnie Curry. Raymond Burns, Stewart Norton, Janey Lowe, Geneva Robinson and Hazel Radabaugh being all that were left of that once vast assemblage. We were more than glad to extend the password of the class to Edna Harlocker and Roy Avery. A class meeting was held early in the year at which Janey Lowe was elected President; Winnie Curry, Vice-President; Geneva Robinson, Secretary; and Stewart Norton, Treasurer. Our class colors, red and white of the previous year, were retained. Geneva Robinson was appointed “Laurel” reporter and Raymond Burns was appointed reporter for the typewriting department. This year was made memorable by two events which followed in happy succession. The first was a bonfire party given in honor of the Senior Class of 1914 by the
