Springfield Noimal Washington State Normal University of Oregon Superintendent of Schools There was a slight change in the faculty over last year. Mr. Almack and Mr. Douglass successfully filled the places vacated by Mr. Howard and Mr. Gary. Near the close of the -school year we had the misfortune to lose Mr. Douglass as he enlisted in the Ordnance work. However, his work was taken over by the other teachers, and though it meant a material increase in their duties, all courses were completed on schedule time. J. W. NOBLET, A. B.

HISTORY, CLASS OF ’18 The class of eighteen had a very good start in that they were a mixed bunch being made up of three different classes. Those entering at the beginning of the year 1914 were Myrtle Neely, Mildred Norton, Clara Lund, Sylvia Neely, Leland Peart and Charles Oerding—then one half year later Flossie Lund, Maymie DeLong, Fred Lorenz, Gladys Nosier, Doris Tyrrel and Nellie Johnson each made known a wish to become one of the happy lot, and this year Catherine Hersey, Marvel Skeels, Etta McLeod and Elmer Neely incidentally became members of our class, therefore it is a strong class, strong in opinions on all subjects that differ widely. During our first year being different from other freshmen knowing that we didn’t know—we kept very quiet. We thought about preparing for future days rather than of trying to make people think we knew, therefore what we did in our freshman year is not of a nature to record here. The next year our class woke up enough to brag on ourselves a little and to say, “We Are Proud of Ourselves,” as we were, are now, and always will be. The active part our class took during the Junior year proves that a quiet freshmen year is all right. That year our class was well represented in the Girls’ Glee Club. What kind of an orchestra would the High School have had, had it not been for our boys ? In Basket Ball we took an active part. A member of our class was Business Manager of the Athletic Association and one of the Star players on C. H. S. Basket Ball team. Our girls had a strong and undaunted team. We could take defeat gracefully and try again with increased vim. Despite our untiring efforts in pursuit of knowledge we had quite a festive year. Members of our class won first prize in the short story contest, second prize for the State Good Roads essay, and the medal in the declamation contest. One other member of our class took part in the declamatory contest. The works worthy of honorable mention during our last year are so numerous that there is not space for all but I will mention a few. Two of our boys belong to the Basket Ball team, which won the County Championship. Most of the Thrift Speakers were Seniors, one member receiving the Baby Bond for being the first Thrift Speaker. One of our members, Marvel Skeels, won the cup in the county Declamatory contest and the High School was well represented in the Oratorical contest by a Senior. A member of our class is the President of the first W. S. S. organized in Coos county. We, having the largest number of graduates that the school has ever produced at one time and the smallest number of poor students and best averaged grades, is another proof that ‘‘Silence during our first years was golden.” Nellie Johnson. “June,” said Miss Bay, “give me a compound word.” June: “Trans-mag-nify-can-damn-u-olity-able-ship-es- tablish-ment-anna-terra-a-nis-tisc-u-lism.” v r r Hazel: “The preacher says there is no marrying in Heav- en.” Nina: “Of course not. There wouldn’t be enough men to go around.” r r r Mildred Neely to her mother: “Mamma, I’m never, never going to study any more.” “Why, dearie, what’s the matter?” inquired mother. “ ’Cause it’s no use,” was the impulsive answer—“it’s no use at all. I can’t never learn spelling. Teacher keeps changing the words all the time.” We, the Senior Class of 1918, of the Coquille High School, City of Coquille, County of Coos, State of Oregon, realizing the uncertainity of life in this, the crisis of the World War, and the increased danger that will confront us when we will no longer be shielded by the watchful eyes of the faculty, deem it highly expedient that we should make provision for the distribution of our worldly possessions and therefore declare this our last will and testament. To the Juniors we bequeath our supernatural dignity. To the Sophomores we will the privilege of entering into the sacred realms of the office and typewriting room without permission. To the poor misused Freshmen we will our unusual success in obtaining high grades. To the Faculty in appreciation of the kind interest they have shown toward us we leave the quiet which will reign in the study hall as a result of our absence. To Janitor Johnson we gladly leave the real estate which he has swept up from under our desks. I, Maymie DeLong, leave to Beryl Woodruff my coquettish manners and curls. I, Myrtle Neely, do cheerfully bequeath to Irene Kime the extreme honor of being the best avoirdupoised girl in the Senior Class. I, Charles Oerding, do hereby donate to Mr. Douglas my much cherished basket ball suit to be used as a screen on which to flash moving pictures. I, Clara Lund, leave my blonde complexion to be sparingly used by the High School girls during the years to come, in hopes that their drug store bills will thereby decrease. I, Etta McLeod, do willingly leave to Alice Curry my reputation of being short of stature. I, Elmer Neely, will to Don Pierce my especial talent as Yell Leader. i, Doris Tyrrell, leave to John Stanley my ability to graduate without going to school. I, Marvel Skeels, will to Edna Olson, after my departure from High School, the privilege of riding in a certain olive drab bug. I, Fred Lorenz, do hereby will to Fred Harlocker my place as a guard in High School basket ball team. I, Nellie Johnson, do hereby leave my sweet temper and ireckles to Margaret Cunningham. I, Gladys Nosier, leave my perfectly good powder puff to be chained to the mirror in the girls cloak room, and used by the public at large. I, Sylvia Neely, will to Carol Rahskopf my power of saying nothing when the moment for silence has arrived. I, Mildred Norton, do hereby bequeath to Lester Bogard my love for the sciences. I, Flossie Lund, leave my grace in tripping the light fantastic to Viola Knife. I, Leland Peart, do hereby will my place in the Hlgn School orchestra to Chauncey Fish. I, Catherine Hersey, bequeath to Hazel Bean my interest in Beaver Hill. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and affixed the seal of the Senior Class, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred eighteen. Molly Bruce (Seal) Marian Preston THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY. In looking through some of the most important papers the other day I recognized several names, the first one being our past president of the class of 1918. Miss Myrtle Neely, who after having traveled about for some years as a lecturer on Woman’s Rights, returned to Myrtle Point where she established a Young Ladies Seminary of which she is principal. The next I noticed was Miss Etta McLeod, who is now a second Mary Pickford. She made a great name for herself all over the world. She married an English Lord, but not being able to get along with him, has gone to Norway, Oregon, where she has settled on a farm, while her husband is in New York carrying on his business. Miss Maymie DeLong was next in line, she is well known as a great Kindergarten teacher. Here is Miss Gladys Nosier, she has always been noted for her humane acts, she always was bailing somebody out and getting after people for inhuman acts. She has also given several great lectures and because of it has been sent to Liberia as a representative for the United States. Miss Catherine Hersey is also a noted lecturer, although her lectures are of a different type. She is a great Christian Science Lecturer. She is also a great hynotist, palmist and mind reader. Miss Sylvia Neely has turned out much as we expected, as she has tried writing for several of our most prominent papers and important magazines. She is now writing blank verse for the Ladies Home Journal. Mr. Fred Lorenz, whom we expected great things of in the athletics, especially has over done upon that line. He won first honors in athletics at the University of Oregon. He then returned to Powers where he married the daughter of a logger, moving from there to Marshfield where he went into the wholesale dry goods business. Miss Doris Tyrrell, who worked for the County Agriculturist for some time, married a young man from Prosper and moved on to a ranch a few miles below Coquille, Oregon, which is now a very prosperous city of fifty thousand. She is a very influential citizen now and has for the last two years been sent to the Legislature. Mr. Elmer Neely is a very prominent citizen of Coquille, Oregon, having taken Hoover’s place and working out the food question there. He is also working in the most prominent mill, being business manager. Miss Nellie Johnson was always noted for her great speeches she made while in high school, She taught school for some time and then moved to Alaska and is now a U. S. Senator from there. Miss Marvel Skeels is now a very noted character. After she went to the University of Oregon, she was a teacher in music for some time. She then went with an evangelist to sing and give readings for him. She was especially good at giving the reading, “How They Built the Church at Kehoe’s Bar.” Mr. Charles Oerding is our Soldier Boy, he went to France and proved himself very efficient in his line of war work. Charles afterwards was married in France, and became one of the leading engineers in the world. Miss Clara Lund became the owner of a large Dairy ranch in the Willamette Valley, she declared she was going to be an old maid but she finally gave in and married the farmer owning the farm next to hers. Mr. Leland Peart went to the Oregon Agricultural College where he took a very thorough course in Pharmacy, and in Chemistry. He later became the discoverer of a very great explosive and this very nearly ended his existence upon this earth, but he luckily escaped and became an undertaker. Miss Flossie Lund, who became a stenographer, later married her employer who was several years older than herself. He soon died leaving her a very wealthy, young and attractive widow. She then moved to Norway to live her last days. Miss Mildred Norton had probably the most eventful career of all. She became very proficient in science, and discovered the relations between dominant and recissive characteristics in chromosomes. After studying at Harvard, and lecturing for several years before scientific clubs and societies, at the age of thirty she came west and became the wife of the president of Willamette University, and now cooks for the college boarding club.

K CLASS ADVISER Mr. Douglas CLASS OF ’19 This school year finds the class of nineteen at the height of its scholastic activities. The class is composed almost entirely of painstaking and efficient pupils. Frivolity has been dispensed with. Even the parties have been in accordance with Mr. Hoover. Many of last year’s Sophomores are Seniors this year and this has greatly diminished the size of our class. At the beginning of this year there were fourteen, but two have dropped out. Victor Pettengill joined the aviation corps, making the second member to enter the service, Earl Isensee having gone last year. Irene Kime has been forced to give up her school work on account of sickness. The versatility of the class has been displayed to advantage by the exceptional amount of interest taken in all student body activities. This class has done much to promote and foster athletics. The captains of both the track and basketball have been elected from our class. The Junior basketball girls are acknowledged to be the best in the High School. The class has also done its part in Dramatics this year. The precedent of giving a Junior play was established by the class of 1919 and it is a custom the future classes would do well to emulate. Our play given “Just for Fun” developed a number of star actors. Elmer’s drawl appeared so natural we know he will have no trouble in feeling at home among his English brethren. Genevieve, who played as Mrs. Fitzgerald Mandeville de Smythe, had all the characteristic airs of a would-be society leader. Alice Curry and Elizabeth Church represented the two chums, Edith Morton and Mabel West, the first a rich heiress, the other, a country girl who loved society and wanted to marry a lord, Carol Rahskopf was a characteristic maid with her Irish brogue and awkward ways. The prize for the best stunt at the annual Hallowe’en party was won by the Juniors. Each one took part in repre- senting a circus. There were Mutt and Jeff, the gypsy fortune-teller, Charlie Chaplin, the black grizzly and his Russian trainer, the tight rope walker, the clowns, the merry widow, and many others. The prize was enjoyed by the class and faculty a few days later. A splendid five-course banquet was given the Seniors on April sixth, the Juniors giving a number of toasts. The cane was presented to the class at this time and they will keep it for the coming year. The interest manifested by the class in the four-minute speeches shows their patriotism. They have also sent presents and candy to members of the class in service. If we keep on as serious as now there is no doubt but that we will be a class so famed for wisdom that we will be long remembered. Looking on our Freshman pictures we see there is almost a superhuman look on our countenances. To appreciate the merits of the class as a whole we must tell the virtues of the individuals. Genevieve Chase’s ability seems to be in leadership. Elizabeth Church will be studied in later years by the Juniors of the High School along with the great writers, Shakespeare, Milton and Walt Whitman. A specimen of her poetry is on another page of the Laurel. The linguistic ability of the class lies in Carol Rahskopf. Thelma Richardson has a talent for keeping in good standing. Keeping quiet and looking wise is the estate of our demure Eula Moore. The best humored one in the class is Lester Bogard, while the most dignified person is Margaret Cunningham. Alice Curry will long be remembered for her amiable disposition for making friends. In the future art galleries you will be able to pick out the monogram of our artist, Lillian Humbert. Mildred Neely has a stately, studious and stern manner, while Alice Schroeder catches everything that goes around. Edna Olson’s tendency is toward a Pompean tinted complexion and Katie Price’s is trying to be popular. Our Rosa Fredenburg is just a little lower than the angels, while Philip Johnson’s chief occupation is driving a bug!

HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The history of the Sophomore class may be said to be the history of the Coquille High School for the past two years. The principal happenings and achievements among the student body can be traced directly to the genius of the Sophomores. During the year of 1917 and 1918 they have taken the lead in athletics, social activities, and school affairs in general. At the beginning of the year the class was handicapped by the smallness of numbers but that did not deter them in their ambition to have the best class. Soon after school began the class organized, by electing Pauline Chase president, Londy Church vice-president, and William Oerding secretary and treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester the class reached the number of twenty-four. The new members of the class were given a reception by the Sophomores at the home of Pauline Chase; at this time they were required to wear green caps as a form of initiation into the Sophomore class. The football and basketball teams have been better this year than Coquille has had in several years, due greatly to the boys from the Sophomore class. The class has adopted as their symbol an owl’s head. This will be used during the rest of their High School career. William says he used the revised spelling before he ever heard of Theodore Roosevelt. Miss Bay to Maxine: “Can you read?” Maxine: “Why ye-es.” Earl’s Mother: “Earl, did you say you had been to Sun- day School?” Earl with a faraway look: “Yes, Ma.” Earl’s Mother: “How does it happen that your hands smell fishy?” Earl: “I—I carried home the Sunday School paper an’ —an’—th’ outside is all about Jonah and the whale.” CLASS OFFICERS Everett Fraedrick, President Camilla Lorenz, Vice-President Helen Sherwood, Secretary Lawton Von Pegert, Treasurer r.

The officers elected were Everett Fraedricks, President; Camilla Lorenz, Vice-President; Helen Sherwood, Secretary; and Lawton Von Pegert, Treasurer. Miss Newell was chosen class adviser. After much thought and deliberation we selected the violet as our class flower, navy blue and gold for our colors and, “After battle, victory,” as our motto. The annual Freshman party, our one big social event of the year, was held at the home of Miss Newell, February 16th. Our class has done something in the Athletic field. Kenneth Kistner and Everett Fraedricks proved themselves to be good football players and we expect a great deal from them in the future. But we are especially proud of our girls basketball team and by the time they are seniors they will be the star team of the county. Since spring has come, we have taken many hikes up into the hills. Several expeditions were sent out and the different kodak artists have been able to get good snapshots for the Laurel. Two of our girls, Camella Lorenz and Beryl Woodruff have entered the declamation contest. It has been said, and we also think it, that this is the best Freshman class that has ever entered the Coquille High School, and by the time the class of ’21 graduates, Coos county will surely have heard from us. —Helen Sherwood.

It was the queerest shaped rock I ever saw, being tall like a mountain, but on the very top of it was the form of a maiden standing and looking out at sea. She looked so much like a person, that I thought I must go up there and touch her to see if she was human. I looked on every side of the rock but could find no path leading to the top. As I was anxiously gazing in every little crevice, wondering if I dared try to climb up, my hand touched something that was very smooth. I looked, and there beheld a gem as bright as a diamond in the side of the great rock. I touched it with my finger and immediately, to my surprise, a door opened and a maiden, dressed in a beautiful sea green robe came to meet me. She bade me come in so i obeyed her. The door closed behind me and I would have felt frightened had the maiden not said, ‘Fear not, I want to show you my beautiful home and then you may go.’ She took my hand and led me down the stairway which seemed miles in length. Finally we came to a great hall—the most beautiful place I had ever seen—all lighted and the sweetest music was coming from every corner. As I looked about it seemed as if the whole hall was nothing but corners and in each of these sat a maiden dressed in a robe of many brilliant colors, and each played upon a different kind of musical instrument. The music was grand. It seemed to make me float away in the air, as a cloud does. “My escort made a sign and all was silent. Then each maiden came forward and extended a hand towards me. I kissed each hand and then the maidens fled to their respective corners in the hall. My little girl in green led on. We came to a great cave and entered. Everything there was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen. The walls were covered with stones and shells; pink, green, yellow, orange, purple, and every color imaginable, and tiny bits of fern were growing in among these shells and stones. In one corner of the cave was a large arm chair covered with tiny golden shells. ‘There is where our queen used to sit,’ said the little maiden beside me. “ ‘But where is your queen now?’ I asked. “ ‘Did you not see her before you came in here?' “Immediately I thought of the form on the top of the rock, outside. “ ‘But how did she get out there?’ I inquired. “ ‘Listen and I will tell you the story,’ she said. “ ‘One time—a very long time ago—the door of this great rock sprang open and an old witch walked in, unwelcome. She looked every place in our home and seemed to be in search of someone. We girls followed her and would have put her outside had it not been that she carried a great stick in her hand. She finally found her way to this cave, and when her eyes fell upon our queen, sitting in that chair, she laughed and said: “ ‘At last, I have found you and you shall no more live with your friends here, but shall go with me and be of some use to the world.’ “ ‘She seized our queen by the hand and pulled her out of the chair. We girls rushed forward and would have tried to kill the witch but she held her stick high in the air and said in an angry tone, “Who touches me, shall die!” We shrank back in horror while the witch bore our beautiful queen away. And now you see of what use she is to the world—nothing but a stone image looking out at the waters. But the witch says that she keeps all evil away from the sea.’ By this time the little maiden was crying as if her heart would break and I was trying to console her when—I heard the sound of rushing water and looked up only to hehold the waves dashing upon the rocks at my feet, and that great black rock looking right at me.” “What a beautiful dream,” said the mother. . DOING HIS BIT Second Prize—Maxine McGilvery. “First it was Liberty Bonds, then the Red Cross, and now Thrift Stamps and I haven’t enough money to jingle in my pocket,’’ sighed Ted as he read the new Thrift Stamp poster. “Gee, but I’d like to win the fifty dollar Liberty Bond prize but no chance with no money and no job that I can get.’’ His chum, Jim came along just then and Ted thought no more about Thrift Stamps until that evening when his father brought up the subject. Ted then told his father about the fifty dollar Liberty Bond that was being offered as a prize to the boy who earned the most Thrift Stamps during the next month. “No chance for me,’’ said Ted. “John Brice got the job I was going to get at Smither’s store and he said his Dad is going to help him along.’’ “Ted, if you haven’t enough of the old family spunk in you to rustle around and get a job and win that Liberty Bond you shall not have that motor cycle next summer.’’ Ted was thunderstruck. He wasn’t going to have his motorcycle after all and he had waited patiently for it. After passing a very uncomfortable night, as it was Saturday Ted set out the next morning to look for a job. After hunting all day he returned with a heavy heart for he had found nothing to do. “Cheer up, Ted,’’ said his father when Ted told him of the day’s returns, you will win in the end.” The next week, Ted didn’t get home until about six o'clock every evening and seemed about tired out. Saturday he came home with a bright smile on his face. As soon as his father came in, Ted reached in his pocket and produced a five dollar Mil. “Where in the world did you get that?” asked his father. “Cutting cordwood for Mrs. O’Brien,” answered Ted, “And Mr. Kennedy promised me five dollars more if I cut two cords for him next week, and by going to the movie show but once a week and a few other small things I’ve been accustomed to, I think I can manage to save about a dollar a week besides my wages.” “I see none of the old family spunk has diminished in you, lad,” said Mr. McCue, “and I have some good news for you. Mr. Smithers told me that John Brice is going to quit his job tomorrow and he promised me that he would let you fill John’s place. I think you had better find some one who is more suited to the job of cutting wood than yourself to cut Mr. Kennedy’s wood for him and take the job in Smither’s store.” At the end of the month, Ted had earned and saved thirty dollars which he had invested in Thrift Stamps. The morning the prize was to be awarded Ted walked to school with John Brice. “Well, I guess the prize is as good as mine,” said John, “I have fifty dollars invested in Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds.” Ted’s heart sank. He had had hopes of winning the prize but now it seemed his dreams were smashed. When the principal arose to announce the winner of the prize Ted wanted to leave the room. It made him sick to think of all the enjoyable times he had planned to have on his motor cycle the following summer. It wasn’t fair for John Brice to ha e the prize when he hadn’t earned half—no. not even a third of his money and he hadn’t saved—but what was the principal saying? “Folks, the Liberty Bond that was offered some time ago as a prize for the b,oy who earned the most Thrift Stamps in the last month is to be awarded to Edward McCue. A few people have invested more but they didn’t earn their money.” When he went home that night the first thing that met Ted's eyes was a bright, new motor cycle standing outside the gate. “Well, Ted, what do you think of it? Mr. Wade told me this morning that the prize was yours, so I thought I would bring your motor cycle home tonight. You certainly have done your bit.” Joseph Peart — our most faithful janitor who has been with us for the past four and a half years — was always ready to take a joke, and everybody’s friend. He left us for a better position at the middle of the year. BUT H. L. Johnson, who filled the vacancy and is now called Yon Yonson by the students, has proved to be very satisfactory and has won the hearts of all. His ability to do his work thoroughly and with earnestness has been appreciated by the students of the High School and they all are hoping for him to return next year.

More interest was taken in Football this year than there has been for several years. Coquille, North Bend, and Marshfield were the schools having teams in the field. Coquille took second place this year winning one of three scheduled games. The scores for the three games were: Coquille 0, Marshfield 51; Coquille 6, North Bend 0; Coquille 0, Marshfield 31. Another game was played with the Independents on Thanksgiving, which the Independents won with a score of 13 to 6. Our line-up for the year was: Stanley, F. B.; Elwood and Clinton. H. B.: Davis, Q.

BASKETBALL TEAM JOHN STANLEY Basketball Captain BASKETBALL REVIEW t hanks to the able coaching of Superintendent Almack, an unusually strong team was developed this year. The first scheduled game of the season was played at Myrtle Point, and we were badly beaten, but after this game a system of playing was developed which brought us victory in all other games. Myrtle Point and Coquille each lost one game, but owing to the fact that the rules of the State Athletic Association do not permit games of basketball after March 15, we were unable to play a game to decide which school was entitled to the Championship. The following is the Coquille schedule and the official scores for 1917-18: Jan. 11, Coquille at Myrtle Point Jan. 18, Marshfield at Coquille Feb. 1, Coquille at North Bend Feb. 8, Coquille at Marshfield Feb. 15, North Bend at Coquille Coquille, 14—M. P., 32 Coquille, 23—M., 12 Coquille, 18—N. B., 13 Coquille, 15—M., 11 Coquille, 46—N. B., 16 Feb. 22, Coquille at Bandon Coquille, 32—B., 29 Mar. 1, Myrtle Point at Coquille Coquille, 14—M. P., 13 Mar. 8, Bandon at Coquille Coquille, 50—B., 12 The team, this year, consisted of the following boys: Charles Oerding and Fred Lorenz, guards; John Stanley, center; Philip Johnson and William Oerding, forwards; and Austin Clinton, Gordon Nelson and Kenneth Kistner, subs. Lorenz, Chas. Oerding and Stanley are players from last year’s team and were in every game every minute. Johnson and William Oerding are new men but they played like veterans. Clinton, Nelson and Kistner, although they did not play in the scheduled games, showed considerable ability and will be a great help in developing next year’s team. The Coquille High School and Faculty wish to express their thanks to those of the Alumni who supported and encouraged the basketball and football teams during the past Athletic season. CHAS. OERDING Business Mgr. MARVEL SKEELS Sec.-Treas. FREI) LORENZ President J. W. NOBLET Faculty Adviser WWL GIRLS BASKET BALL The girls basket ball games on the average this year were a distinct disappointment in C. H. S. There were three organized teams: Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. The Freshmen showed a team that will be first class next year and will give the Juniors, who have been champions since entering C. H. S., a stiff fight for the championship in 1919. A picked team from High played the Norway team on their floor and C. H. S. came home with colors flying. Then Norway played the picked team on our own floor and they won the game by a small margin. No more games were allowed to be played with outside teams the rest of the year and interclass games were played to see who would be champions in C. H. S. this year. The Juniors played several games with the two teams in High and two games with a picked team, losing one game in all, and they were pronounced champions of 1918. All the Juniors that played on the team this year will be Seniors in High next year and expect to carry out the plan of being champions all through the four years of High. The number of games were less this year than last, but one main point that was more emphatic this year than last, was the spirit of true Sportsmanship that was shown in all the games played. TRACK This year the Athletic Association added to our equipment a new bamboo vaulting pole and a javelin. Stanley Emery, track captain, is a very clever athlete and is sure to make several points in the county track meet this year. The boys made a good choice when they selected him as their leader. There are several other students of the High School who are training for the meet this year, and we are sure that they will all bring home some honors in track.

The members elected officers and decided to meet the first Monday of each new school month. Persons must have at least one half credit in Latin in order to become a member. The purpose of the organization is to create a love for the language, and to increase knowledge in vocabularies. Fees of twenty-five cents are paid by the members on entrance, and each year which they are members. This fund will now be used to purchase a Baby Bond, and later when enough money has accumulated, it will be used in the purchase of a handsome marble bust of Ceasar, for the adornment of the Latin room. Our motto is “Nunquam non paratus.” The Latin Club has met twice at Miss Newell’s, once at Irene Kime’s, once at Genevieve Chase’s and onee in the Latin room at the school house. At each meeting a spelling match was held consisting of Latin vocabularies. The person who missed the least number of words received a prize. Light refreshments of the Hoover nature were served at the meetings. There are ten members of the Latin Club as follows: Miss Newell, adviser; Rosa Fredenburg, president; Thelma Richardson, secretary; Carol Rahskopf, vice-president; Mildred Neely, treasurer; Genevieve Chase; Irene Kime; Edna Olsen; Audrey Staninger; Elizabeth Church and Maymie DeLong. Philip: (talking to Mr. Noblet) “Say, no woman is really afraid of a mouse. But she doesn’t like to disappoint the men who expect her to be.” Noblet: “I------er venture I don’t know.” Mr. Johnson: “Has Herbert told you what to do this after- noon ?” Leanna: “Yes, sir; I’m to wake him when I see you com- ing.” THE MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB At the first meeting of the German Club this year, the following officers who had been elected at the last meeting of the Club last year, were installed: President, Doris Tyrrell; Vice-President, Alice Curry; Secretary, Mildred Norton; Treasurer, Myrtle Neely. At that meeting it was decided to change the name of the club to the Modern Language Club. We have had several enjoyable meetings during the year and have read “Green Stockings” and “Der Zwerg Nase.” With its money the club bought two Baby Bonds, the money at maturity is to go to the school to be used in purchasing a Victrola. A Freshman’s definition of Love: “A little itching down in the bottom of your heart, that vou can’t get at to scratch.” t t Edna:“I don’t think much of a man who proposes to a girl by letter.” Etta: “My dear, you should feel very grateful to a man who proposes to you at all.” Douglass: “What would happen if you put a rag on the Railroad track and the train ran over it ?” Genevieve: “It would no longer be a rag.” Douglass: “What would it be then?” Genevieve: “It would be two rags.” r k Noblet: “John, you may explain the next proposition in Geometry.” John: “I believe I’ve forgotten that one, Mr. Noblet.” Noblet: “It seems to me you have been using your for- getter more than necessary lately.” WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY On March, the 6th, at the Assembly period the first meeting of the War Savings Society was held with Mr. Almack presiding. Fred Lorenz was elected president and he then took the chair. Mr. Noblet was elected vice-president and Caraol Rahskopf, secretary. The purpose of this organization is to promote thrift among the students and to urge the spirit of patriotism in our high school. The society meets every other Friday at the Assembly period. Very interesting programs have been given at the three meetings which have been held. Various features of the programs have been Thrift and Liberty speeches by some of the members, music, both vocal and instrumental, also some numbers by the faculty. A committee to plan the next program is appointed by the president at the close of each meeting. Each member took the following pledge: “I pledge my- self to (1) systematic saving; (2) to refrain from unnecessary expenditures; and the purchase of non-essentials, in order that labor and materials now employed in the production of articles not necessary to my health and efficiency may be released for the production of those articles and supplies which the United States needs for its Army and Navy; (3) to lend my earnest efforts to encourage thrift and economy in my community and to secure other members for this society; and (4) to invest in United States War Savings and Thrift Stamps and to encourage others to do so. We felt very proud to know that our organization was the first of its kind in Coos County. t LAM “True patriots all: for be it understood We left our country for our country’s good.” —George Barrington Marc Shelley Guy Kelley Earl Isensee Walter F.

Mr. Almack: “Once there was a woman who had three bad little boys, Oh! the boys were not so very bad, just like all boys, you know.” Noblet: “I can remember when Cleveland was elected President.” Marvel: “So can I.” Douglass: “If a man was in frictionless ice he couldn't get off unless he was moving while the ice was going.” Noblet: “How do you make artificial diamonds, Fred?” Fred: “I don’t exactly know. I never made very many.” Almack: “Name a great alliance of today.” Mildred: “The Holy Alliance.” Almack: “The Holy Alliance hasn’t been Holy for a great number of years.” Douglass: “Everything that is, is, and everything that isn’t, ain’t.

The owner may have it by identifying it and paying me a reward.” Freshman: (going into Lorenz’ store) “Mr. Lorenz, 1 want a hat that will fit my head.” Mr. Lorenz: “Say, Jones, get a soft hat for this fellow.” Noblet: “Now, fellows, if you don’t get your lessons in class and don’t come back in the afternoon and make them up, you had just as well drop them. You are just kidding yourselves the way you do now.” Douglass: (in Physics class) “That is one of the laws we had back here still farther on.” Almack: “I wonder if Gordon Hanscom is here today.” Fred: “I don’t suppose so, because he was here yester- day, and it isn’t likely that he would come two days in succession.” Gladys: “I don’t care if I don’t pass this year, I’ll never come back to this school again.” Noblet: “Oh! I don’t see how we will ever get along.” Paul: “I’m going to enlist the first of the year.” Elizabeth: “Oh! I don’t believe they will have you.” Miss Newell: “My! but your hands are dirty, Mr. Doug- lass.” Mr. Douglass: “Yes, but I washed them, yesterday.” Everett: “Father, didn’t you tell Mother we must econ- omize?” Father: “I did, my son.” Everett: “Well, I was just thinking that if you would get a ‘Bug’ for me, may be I wouldn’t wear out so many shoes for the girls.” Noblet: “When you develop a new brain cell, it swells.” Charles: “That’s why so many people have the ‘big head,’ isn’t it?” Douglass: “How many seats do you want for the play, Mildred?” Mildred: “Four.” Douglass: “My Stars! but I didn’t know you were so big.” “Marvel,” said John, “what is a kiss?” Marvel: “I can’t exactly put it in words, John, but if you really want to know, I can show you.” Katie: “Howard is it right that you have been match- ing?” Howard: (who had been matching pennies) “But only for small stakes, I assure you.” Katie: “Oh well, if it is only for something to eat, it doesn’t make much difference.” Noblet: “If a farmer raises 1700 bushels of wheat ana sells at at $1.17 a bushel, what will he get?” John: “An automobile.” Douglas: “Balloons have been in use now for about 100 years. You’ve all seen them, I suppose.” Stiffy: “No not that long ago.” In Geometry class Carol had been whispering. Mr. Noblet: “Carol, you may take this front seat.” Carol: “Oh I can see all right from here, Mr. Noblet.” Jamie called Central up one day and said: “Hello Cen- tral, give me Heaven.” But that wasn’t the place she gave him, at all.

To the Class of T8 Coquille High School My dear Students: It is indeed an honor to be called upon to send from afar, a message to you with whom 1 have so frequently spoken face to face. After having been associated with a group of boys and girls for six years of their school life, there is little one can say to them that he has not already said. The message I send you today will no doubt sound familiar to you. However, if it is worth while, it will only be strengthened by repetition. I find that many of the things I have tried to teach my boys and girls may be summed up in a slogan of a few brief words. It is this: “A finished job.” “A finished job” is a lesson to which the final touches have been given that make it a completed task. It is a course carried through to completion and not slighted and then dropped. It is a good, clean-cut high school career of solid subjects that need no apology. “A finished job” is a life of honest, faithful service to mankind; a life whose record shows no uncompleted tasks save those which death itself shall interrupt. A life which, as a whole as well as in its details, constitutes “a finished job” is the kind of life that God and our country need. That each of my friends of the Coquille high school may aspire to make of his life and every part of it, “a finished job” is my highest wish for you. Sincerely yours, C. A. Howard. COOS COUNTY INTER-HIGH SCHOOL ORATORICAL AND DECLAMATORY ASSOCIATION. This association consists of the High Schools at Bandon, Marshfield, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and Coquille. The winner of the local contest of each school has a place in the Coos County Oratorical and Declamation Contest held each year in May. The record of the Coos County Declamatory and Oratorical Contests is as follows: The Fry Oratorical Cup was to be given to the High School which won three times. Girls and boys might enter this contest.

In the contests, as shown by the above record, she reigns supreme over all the other schools in the county. From the total of seventeen firsts, the Coquille High School has carried off seven as compared with the ten for all the other schools combined. In the last five years she has carried off four firsts and of the remaining ore took second place. stiffen Coquille High School is certainly proud of the way things have gone this year. We are proud of the Senior Class. Everything has been a success. We have won many games in Basketball and have stood high in all other athletics which we took part in. We brought back the cup from the Declamation contest this year. Many treats have been given us at the daily assembly periods. Everyone enjoyed the slides on Tuesdays and the singing on Wednesdays. We have b?en very fortunate in having so many speakers from outside of High School and Coquille to favor us with their interesting talks, Representative Hawley being one on the list. The classes have each done their share with the parties and social events. The basketball boys have been given a number of “feeds.” And yet, during all these good times, we have “Hooverized” and so helped to win the war. We are proud of our service flag, with its twenty-seven stars, and more to be added. Who isn’t glad and ready to make a thrift stamp speech, or help on the program of the W. S. S.? We only wish that the year could go on and never close, for we know that these have been some of the happiest days of our lives, and we dread to think of parting with our friends among the faculty and the Senior Class who are going to leave Influence, defined generally, is the energy or power tending to produce effects insensibly and invisibly. School influence is, therefore, this capacity which the school is able to produce. There are two ways in which to apply the term influence to the school. The first application is concerning the influence of the school as a whole, upon outsiders and others not vitally connected with its welfare. The teachers and school board can perhaps do more than the pupils to make this a good influence. They should do their utmost to make their school respected by the citizens of the town, as that will bring in more scholars; while if the standard is low, it will be a great hindrance to the growth of the school. Teachers should also use their best influence to cause their school to be foremost in the county for sportsmanship in the interscholastic athletics. In the same way one pupil in a class may influence the greater portion of his classmates to have poor grades and dislike study; but if he goes about it in the right way, this student may inspire all to play fair, study fair, recite well and so make the school life what it should be—a pleasure. The social life of the Student Body began with a Hallowe’en party given at the school house by the Seniors. It was a masquerade affair and the guests were cordially received by the Seniors who were masked as Clowns. Then many of the Hallowe’en games were played, such as bobbing for apples, piercing the pumpkin, fortune telling etc. After the newness wore off from being masked, a very enjoyable program was given in which Miss Newell gave a reading and Miss Bay a vocal solo. After a selection by the quartette, Mr. Noblet appeared as Alexander, the Great Magician, and performed several mystifying acts, which interested all onlookers. Each class furnished its share of the entertainment with a “stunt.” The Juniors won the prize through their knack of imitating “A Circus.” Later the guests journeyed downstairs to the Laboratory where they were served with Pumpkin Pie and Cider. On the evening of Feb. 16, the Seniors gave a class party at the home of Marvel Skeels. Most of the class were present and the evening was spent in playing games and musical numbers. They all reported an exceedingly enjoyable time. Ml SL,M®SSL — The Freshmen also had a party on the same evening at the home of their class adviser, Miss Newell. This was to welcome the students entering High School the second semester. Games were played and these were followed by the initiation of the new Freshies. Later a short program was enjoyed by all and light refreshments were served. One of the most enjoyed social events of the Senior year was held at the home of Gladys Nosier in honor of her birthday. Those present besides the Senior Class were the boys of the first basketball team. The evening was spent in the playing of games. A very beautiful and touching duet was given by Miss Newell and Gladys Nosier. At the close of the evening a dainty lunch was served. The Sophomores entertained the incoming Sub-Sopho-mores of their class at the home of Pauline Chase Saturday evening, January 26. Upon arriving the guests were presented with green dunce caps which they wore during the eveinng. After a program of music and readings, games were played and light refreshments were served. A most enjoyable evening was spent. Throughout the year the Latin Club have given parties once a month. At these parties Latin spelling and translating has been the program besides a regular social time. The annual Junior-Senior Reception took the form of a banquet this year and was held at the W. C. Chase residence April 6. The dining room and tables were attractively decorated in the combined colors of the Juniors and Seniors--gold, white and green. According to custom a very sumptuous five-course dinner was served, although this year the menu followed the Hoover plan. After dinner was served the guests enjoyed a delightful program, Mr. Douglass presiding as toastmaster. Among the special features of the program, were speeches by the various members of the faculty—Mr. Almack’s talk on “Our Tomorrows,” was especially enjoyed. Miss Bay also sang two very pleasing solos. The Senior cane was presented to the Junior class president by Myrtle Neely, the Senior president, and several members of both classes made talks. An original poem was read by Elizabeth Church. The entire evening was heartily enjoyed. The Football and Basketball teams were fortunate in having several feeds given for their benefit during the year. The first of these was given by a number of the High School girls at the home of Catherine Hersey in honor of the Football team. The Basketball boys were entertained by Catherine Hersey at her home with a party in appreciation of their good basketball playing. Later the team was also entertained by Mrs. Henry Lorenz with a dinner. The boys all expressed their appreciation for these entertainments. A very unique idea has been carried out successfully this year of giving a dance at the Ko-Keel Klub rooms for the benefit of the visiting basketball teams. They were well attended by High School students and friends of the team. Catherine: (at the Senior party) “Well let’s sing on the piano.” r Desperate Lover: “If you don’t answer me one way or the other—yes or no—I will hang myself in your front yard.” June: “Oh! don’t do that. Father doesn’t like to have men hanging around.” « Not long ago Philip withdrew three cents from his account at the bank. Monday morning, however, he promptly returned the money. “So you didn’t spend your money, Philip,” remarked the cashier. “Oh no,” replied Philip, “But a fellow just likes to have a little cash on hand over Saturday and Sunday, you know.” Junior Play The Juniors of the Coquille High School had never given a play before, therefore they ventured into the realm of dramatics by reproducing “Just For Fun,” an up-to-date society comedy. Genevieve Chase, as Mrs. Fitzgerald Mandeville de Smythe, a would-be society leader, created much laughter by constantly mistaking the identity of the characters. Alice Curry, as Miss Edith Morton, her niece and a western heiress, acted the dissatisfied and much sought girl of wealth with credit. Elizabeth Church, as Miss Mabel West, a friend of Miss Morton’s, needs special comment on her ability of giving the part of the unselfish, jolly American girl so well. John Oerding, as Lord Chelsea, an English nobleman, kept the audience in excited mirth by trying to imitate the happy-go lucky American; and Elmer Neely, as Jack Earl, his friend, managed the English drawl as if he had lived across the seas all his life. The part of Jane McCarthy, an Irish maid-servant, was performed by Carol Rahskopf, who showed a marked talent for dialect speaking. SENIOR PLAY The Seniors are preparing a College comedy, “At the End of the Rainbow,” for Commencement. All the members of the cast are well fitted to portray the characters which they represent.

Do not let your goodness wane Be it sunshine, wind or rain. With cheerfulness we bubble over, Like a meadow white with clover Fragrant to the very tips, Like a fairy’s rosy lips. Where shall our future be Here or far across the sea? Over there the cheerful faces Will be found in scattered places Let us Juniors take a chance And set our goal somewhere in France. Marvel (passing Ernie’s window) “Doesn’t that candy look good, Philip?” Philip: “Uh-huh, let’s stand here and look at it a while.” Gladys was continually chewing gum and putting her feet in the aisle. Mr. Noblet: “Gladys will you please take that gum out of your mouth, and put your feet in ?” Everett: “Don’t you despise people who are always kick- ing?” Jim: “Not always, some I admire very much.” Everett: “Who?” Jim: “Chorus Girls.” (Naughty! Naughty!!!) The Glee Club was organized October 3, and the following officers were elected: President, Etta McLeod; Vice-Presi- dent, Pauline Chase; Secretary, Alice Curry; Treasurer, Gladys Nosier; with Miss Bay as director and Genevieve Chase, accompanist. The girls have been coming regularly and have had a good practice every Monday afternoon. Much interest has been taken in the work, and a number of good selections are being worked up. At the mid-year semester several new members joined, making a total of twenty-two. The girls trio—June Willey, Gladys Nosier and Marvel Skeels—was selected from the Glee Club to sing at the several W. S. S. and Third Liberty Loan rallies. During the first semester a recital was given by several of Mrs. Hawkins’ pupils. This was greatly enjoyed by all of the High School students and the teachers. Those participating in the recital were Marvel Skeels, Camilla Lorenz and Genevieve Chase. The High School was favored by a number of selections given by Mr. Ordermann, of Portland, Oregon, who, having sung at the fair at Myrtle Point, visited us before returning home. Mr. Ordermann is receiving his training in New York City, and was home on a vacation while in our city. . r r LOCHINVAR A LA JOHNSON. When Young Fat Johnson came out of the West He claimed his Ford bug was the very best; It was painted dark green and it brilliantly shone, He rode like a streak and never alone. It sounded like a fifty-car trainload of freight When he stepped her up to a sixty per gait. He stopped not for bridge, he stopped not for stone, He often killed dogs without even a groan— No mud guards here, not even a rattle, Which makes most Fords sound like news of a battle. Talk about Oldfield or Cooper or even Dario Rest, This boy would race them with what they call zest. John: “Will you ‘explode’ that first proposition we had in Geometry yesterday, Mr. Noblet?” Mr. Noblet: “When I first came out West, I was riding in a car one day with a man and his wife and their daughter.” Noblet: “When you expunge a sponge, what do you do with it, Gladys?” Gladys: “Squeeze it.” Noblet: “Philip, you had better keep still; curiosity once killed a cat, you know.” Philip: “What was it the cat wanted to know ?” Teacher: “Margaret, are animals loving toward man- kind?” Margaret: “Yes, ma’am.” Teacher: “Now Harold, what animal is most loving toward mankind?” Harold: “ A woman.” ALUMNI ROLL Name Occupation 1910 Residence Nettie Belloni Teacher Prosper Marion Custer Sumner Fred H.
