LAUREL HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’17 w n m The Senior Class of T7 made its debut in the year 1913, with an enrollment of eighteen. Our passing has been singular and successful. We came suddenly, and now, as we take our leave suddenly, we look back and see many mistakes that have been corrected, and many good things we have accomplished as a class through our alma mater, the Coquille High School. In entering upon our Freshman year, we seemed at first to reverse the usual order of things. The Freshies hazed the Seniors, and instead of being a docile, trembling class in the face of the advanced and learned Seniors, we were spirited, and determined we would not be held down by old customs. In our Sophomore year returned the fruits of our labor. The speakers in the annual Declamatory and Oratorical Contests were chosen from our lists. One of these retained the McCormick cup in our school for another year. Three of the debaters were from our class, and two of these represented the school in the county contest. In the school Declamatory Contest a member of our class won the medal. Besides our Interscholastic activities the class has been a social force in the High School. In the Corn Carnival during our Junior year our “Lengthiest” classman captured the pig, which furnished a good time for a large majority of the students of High. At Hallowe’en we gave a large party for the student body. Nearly all the school was present and an enjoyable evening was spent. A large, strictly Junior, party was given February 19. Since then the class appetite for chicken has not diminished. Two Juniors debated that year; a Junior represented the school in the county Declamation and won the medal in the school Declamatory contest. One of the delegates sent to the State High School Track Meet was a Junior classman. This year the Seniors of ’17 again entertained in the way which only they know how, the entire High School being their guests at a Hallowe’en party. It was a stunt party, and we nearly “got some of the Freshies’ Goats.” To make the graduating year more pleasant we have instituted a custom among Seniors. Upon each one’s birthday, if it comes within the school year, that one is to bring a cake to the class. We have celebrated several times this year—among them the “Twenty-first” of a certain member of the faculty. The lady teachers have decided to celebrate their “sweet-sixteen” birthday hereafter.

“Mr. Bob,” a comedy, was given as the class play. There was a large audience and their enthusiasm proved it a success. With our usual readiness, we came forth and again gave Coquille her representatives in the Declamatory and Oratorical Contests. In the Declamatory Contest our speaker won the Coos County Cup, the first time this school has been in possession of it. We shall have representatives in the medal contests and look forward with the expectation of seeing a member of our class receiving the High School medal. Leanna Curry s Arthur Hooton, you horrid thing, I’m really sure and certain You’ll never even have one wing And from the heat you’ll be hurtin’. S MARY’S GOAT. R R R Mary had a William goat, And he was black as jet. And everywhere that Mary went That goat went too, you bet. He followed her to school one day, Which was against the rule. It made the children laugh and shout To see a goat at school. And so old Whackem turned him out, But still he lingered near, And waited just outside the door Till Whackem should appear. Then he ran to meet him; He ran his level best. He met him just behind, you know, Just down below the vest.
