HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1916. • • In 1913 fifteen Freshmen were enrolled in the Coquille High School. These were: George Aker, Agness Bersager, Hugh Harlocker, Olive Howey, Vera Kelley, Leslie Kime, Julian Leslie, Keith Leslie, Edwin Lund, Earl Schroeder, Marion Schroeder, Doris Peoples, Ross Davenport, Stewart Norton and Mable Schroeder. This was the year of the first Annual of the Coquille High School and all but three of the illustrations were by the Freshmen. Three of our number were on the foot ball team and took part in athletics in general. Nineteen Hundred Fourteen is chiefly remembered by the class of ’16 as the year Mary Levar and Verna Phillips joined us. The year is also remembered by the present Seniors for the various social activities in which they indulged. Doris Peoples represented Coquille in the Declamatory Contest at Bandon, and Julian Leslie, Verna Philips and Olive Howey took part in the public speaking recital, Julian and Verna taking prominent parts in the play, “The Obstinate Family.” The next year Keith Leslie was Basket Ball captain, George Aker, rooter king, and Merton Tyrrell represented the school in oratory and was also on the debating team, winning the county championship in the former and keeping the McCormac cup in C. H’. S. for another year. All the cartoons and the cover design of the 1915 Laurel were drawn by members of the Class of ’16, and in addition two poems and a eulogy appeared in the Annual from our class. The year of Nineteen Sixteen sees the class of Sixteen numbering eleven, but only a few of the same pupils are left. George Aker, Olive Howey, Mary Levar, Hugh Harlocker, Julian Leslie, Clara Moser, Merton Tyrrell, Keith Leslie, Edwin Lund, Elizabeth Hufford and Vera Kelley comprise the present Senior class. This year the class gave a play, took part in the literary meetings and their usual active part in athletics. Mary Levar and Merton Tyrrell were leaders of the two debating teams and Julian Leslie took second place in the county oratorical contest. Keith: “Why, there ain’t no patriotism any more. They won’t even let you shoot a firecracker on the 4th of July. No, sir. You got to go out in the woods and eat a sandwich.” Marc, translating German: “And the ankle joins the leg with the hip.”
