At a meeting in the early part of the first semester the following class officers were elected: Almond Martin, president; Gertrude Butler, vice president; Wayne Woodward, secretary; Helen Sherwoxl, treasurer. The Seniors of ’21 first entered High School as verdant Freshmen in 1917-18. Since then, however, many changes have taken place. Many of our old classmates of ’17-’18 have gone away to other schools. Some have gone away but have returned this year. Some new students from other schools have joined our happy bunch this year. Several students finished the four years’ course in three years and are now attending College. Quite a number of the class will complete the course in three and one half years. Our class has always been an active one. In athletics, girls as well as boys, took part. As Freshmen, even, some of the boys and girls played Basket Ball. The girls had an active team. As Sophomore and Juniors the class of ’21 was always “right there,” although in athletics none of the schools in the county did so very much on account of the “Flu” epidemic. This year Almond Martin, Lowell Simpson and Kenneth Kistner represented us in athletics. The girls of the Senior class taking active part in Basket Ball were: Viola Knife, Dorothy Newton and Rosanna Schroeder. Last year the Juniors and Seniors gave two very good plays. After making them a success here they were taken to Myrtle Point. The result was another success. The Juniors and Seniors this year expect to give a play later in the year. We were represented on the Debating team by Alice Barker and Mary Bennett. Coquille won the championship. Several of the Senior girls are in the High School Chorus: Rosanna Schroeder, Myrtle and Dorothy Newton, Helen Sherwood, Mary Bennett and Gertrude Butler. We selected the following as our Class Motto: “The elevator to success is not running—take the stairs,” and success is the aim of all. So when you see the class of ’21 on the top step remember our motto, and you will know how we got there. —Flossie Radabaugh JL It is not easy— To apologize; ' To begin over; To take advice; To admit error; To be unselfish; To be charitable; To be considerate; To avoid mistakes; To keep on trying; To endure success; To forgive and forget; To keep out of the rut; To make the most of a little; To maintain a high standard; To shoulder a deserved blame; To recognize the silver lining; BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the august Seniors of Coquille High School, feeling that the time is drawing near when we must leave the haunts of youth and the paths of our childhood, and wishing to show no partiality in the disposing of our worldly possessions, do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave the sincere wish that they may sometime in the dim and distant future have the honor of teaching another class of students as brilliant as ourselves. To the Juniors we bequeath the privilege of occupying the ancient and honored row of seats near the windows, provided they follow closely in our footsteps, which already echo in the distant corridors of time. To the Sophomore we leave our dignity and hope they will use it on all state occasions as we, before them, have done. To the Freshmen we can leave only our heartfelt sympathy for their hard lot. To Janitor Johnson we leave our sincere thanks for the faithful and uncomplaining service he has rendered us in these revered halls. I, Almond Martin, will to Mr. Baker my last bottle of hair restorer, hoping he may profit thereby. I, Gertrude Butler, do bequeath to Flossie Knight the interest I once had in the Freshman row. I, Wayne Woodward, do bequeath to Fred Lafferty the four wads of gum, which he will find plastered underneath my desk in the Library, hoping he may derive as much pleasure from them as I, before him, have done. I, Dorothy Bean, will to John Holman, Smith’s latest essay entitled “How to Grow Tall.” I, Alice Barker, bequeath to Nellie Morgan my rats and ear muffs, since I feel that my time of vanity is past. LMI'kJjshil I, Flossie Radabaugh, will to Frances Kistner three of my best curls, including the “Merry Widow,” which grows down the middle of my forehead, provided she never rats or abuses them in any way. I, Helen SherWood, leave to Adrienne Hazard, my art of casting coquettish glances. I, Eunice Perkins, will to Wilda Clark my ability to trip the light fantastic. I, Rosanna Schroeder, will to Leland McGilvery my extreme bashfulness in public. I, Veva Varney, bequeath to Audrey Fraedrick my ability to ask intelligent questions and appear brilliant when I have not studied and do not know my lesson. I, Viola Knife, will to Gertrude Bogard, my power to attract precious jewels—especially diamonds. I, Mary Bennett, leave to Harriet Gould my radical views on “Woman Suffrage.” I, Myrtle Newton, will to Jennie Price my musical talent, which ranks second only to Paderewski. I, Dorothy Newton, bequeath to Polly Moon my extremely cool and collected manner on all occasions. I, Lowell Simpson, will to Lorin Schroeder my power to blush and act innocent just at the right time. I, Bessie Finley, bequeath to Ellen Baker my ability to vamp in the dark. We, the Senior Class of ’21, request that this, our last Will and Testament, be faithfully executed by our executors in every detail. We, in witness hereof, do hereby set our hand and seal on this 30th day of April in the year of our Lord, One thousand nine hundred and twenty-one. Signed and witnessed by: Ima Joker. I. B. Witty. I SENIOR PROPHECY “No, it can’t possibly be the Almond Martin of our High School days.” The speaker was Gertrude Butler, who owned an exclusive shop in New York, and was a famous designer of French gowns. I had gone there shopping and upon asking to see the head of the shop I was greatly surprised to find my old school mate. “Well, here it is. Read for yourself,” I said, handing her the paper. She read aloud: “Greatest invention of the Age! Almond Martin! inventor! has just completed the construction of an airship in which he intends to sail for the planet Mars. Instead of gasoline it utilizes electricity from the positive and negative ions of the atmosphere. Mr. Martin, it is said, believes that he has distant relatives residing on that planet.” “Well of all things,” she exclaimed, “that boy always did have queer ideas. What do you suppose has become of all the rest of our old classmates?” “Why,” I said, “you surely have seen Veva Varney’s picture in the society columns of the Coquille Sentinel. Poor thing, her husband was a Coco Cola fiend and soon after their marriage died from excessive use of the strong drink.” “Oh, how depressing. Don’t you think a show would revive our spirits?” We acted upon the suggestion and started over town. Just as we stepped off the street car a huge poster caught my eye. It read: “The awe-inspiring and tear-provoking Flossie Radabaugh in ‘The Murderer of Death Valley.’ ” “Look, Gertrude, let’s go here,” I said. “I read her ‘Beauty Chats’ every Sunday in the Times.” We went up to the window but as there was a full house we went on, hoping to find another near. It began to get late, so more for curiosity’s sake than anything else, we stepped into the “Midnight Follies.” The girl on the end looked familiar to me, so I asked the girl next to me who she was. This is what she said to me: “Oh ! That pretty girl with the baby blue eyes ? Why, that’s Dorothy Newton, the big hit of the season. And do you see that woman in a severe tailored suit, a sailor hat and horn-rimmed spectacles. “Well,” the girl went on, “That’s Myrtle Newton, Dorothy’s sister. Being heart-broken at her little sister’s advent into the chorus, she has made a life career of the Chorus Girl Reform. She’s the author of The Reformation of the Future Generation of the Daughters of Eve.’ ” I repeated all this to Gertrude and, as you can imagine, she was as completely astonished as I was. After the show, we loitered along Fifth Avenue looking in the shop windows when a funeral procession passed. The Pythian Sisters were all out in their regalia and an endless string of cars came behind the hearse. We were standing there, wondering who, of so much importance, it could be, when a man behind us said that it was “The Most Excellent Chief” of the Pythian Sisters, Rosanna Schroeder. Why, it couldn’t be our Rosanna Schroeder, but deciding it could be no other but she, we followed the procession to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Upon entering the church who should we see in the pulpit but our classmate, Wayne Woodward. We remained after the service to talk with him of our old school days. He told us he had spent four years in the Cannibal Islands as missionary but for the last two years he had been converting Hula Hulas in Hawaii. He appeared to be much in love with his present occupation and anxious to return. Upon asking him of the cause of Rosanna’s death a look of intense pain shadowed his countenance. “It is a sad case, Her Most Excellent Chief hit her thumb and poisoning set in.” LMJUmiL As it was late we made our adieu and started for the Ritz-Carlton. On our way there, a huge crowd blocked the street. In the midst of it we could see a woman standing on a box and holding the attention of the awe-stricken multitude. These words reached our ears: “Open shop or ruin! ! Down with the advocates of the closed shops! !” Just then a man back of us said: “That’s Alice Barker, the noted speaker. Doctors say she has lost her mind on the subject of open shop, that she has a peculiar disease, the only known case in the civilized world, called ‘Open-Shopitis.’ ” We had heard of Alice’s wonderful career as a speaker but never before of her sad affliction. We made our way to the hotel and upon entering the dining room the waiter seated us at a table next to a dinner party of four, presumably two men and their wives. The men, we noticed, were very distinguished and foreign looking gentlemen, while the women both wore Parisian crations. Suddenly we heard our names spoken and looking up we saw one of the women standing at our table. “Why, you don’t know me, do you?” she said. No sooner had she spoken than it dawned upon me that it was our friend, Eunice Perkins. She introduced us to her husband, the Earl of Garbage Manor, of the famous Dishwater Estate. And who could the other woman be but our former Dorothy Bean, now wife of noteworthy Count Noe Count, the other gentleman at the table. He had first met her in Riverton, while there on a royal commission of investigating cabbage output of that city. A case of love at first sight, I took it. It seems that Eunice met the Earl in Greenland’s icy mountains, where she was traveling for her health. We happened to mention that through fate or luck, we knew not which, we had either seen or heard of all of our old High School Classmates, except Viola Knife, Mary k LMUSSIL Bennett and Lowell Simpson. They were very much surprised to think that we had never heard of the celebrated Prima Donna, Madame Scandala Voica, as Mary now called herself. At the present they informed us that she was touring South Africa, giving benefit concerts for the natives. We were astonished to hear of the renown which Viola Knife had won for herself. A dream convinced her that she must devote her life to the teaching of little children. As a result she completely revised that profession by teaching through the medium of mental telepathy instead of by word of mouth. This form of instruction is now the only kind allowed on the Island of Luzon where she now resides. Of course, we naturally expected to hear of Lowell’s great success in the art of surgery, but to our amazement, he had continued in his father’s footsteps and was now owner and manager of the largest Laundry in the U. S. And to add to his success, he had invented a new variety of “washing-powder,” for which he is now known the world over. At present, we learned that he was in Poland, securing a large contract with that government for his invention. To be sure we felt quite honored at being acquaintances of such noted personages. Having finished our dinner we returned to my apartments with a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that our afternoon had not been spent in vain. jA jA jA Now I set me down to cram I pray the professor an easy exam, If I should croak at the bitter end, I pray the folks may comprehend. CLASS OFFICERS Gertrude Bogard, President Lorin Schroeder, Vice President Harriet Gould, Secretary-Treasurer « CLASS COLORS Red and White j j j CLASS FLOWER White Carnation j j jt MOTTO We gain strength as we go jt j CLASS ADVISER Miss Dorothy Whitney TT JUNIOR CLASS JUNIOR HISTORY The brilliant and intelligent class of ’22 entered the Coquille High School in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighteen A. D. Like all Freshmen they took it upon themselves to try to show the upper classmen what was what. A great honor was bestowed upon Hope Neal, who won the Declamatory medal. Others took active part in the nterest of the school. The officers elected were: Erma Price, President; Sara Brown, Vice President; Frances Kistner, Secretary-Treasurer. In their Sophomore year the officers were: Mabel Wilcox, President; Gertrude Bogard, Vice President; Bonnie Laird, Secretary-Treasurer. This year three of the members were on the Debate Team, Hope Neal, Erma Price, and Bessie Neal. Odis Beckham being one of the best athletes in the school, was also a member of this class. Now, this fore-mentioned class is in the Junior year, preparing to become Seniors with all its glory and to make that class the best that ever sat in the Senior row, as they have from the start of their Freshman year. Two have already dropped from the ranks this year, but still the class of ’22 carries on the duties of Juniors with the same spirit that has won them respect from the other classes. The officers of the Junior class are: Gertrude Bogard, President; Lorin Schroeder, Vice President; Harriet Gould, Secretary-Treasurer. Again the class was represented in debate, Lorin Schroeder being one on the team that won from Bandon, also gaining a trip to Eugene with the team to try for the state championship. Leland McGilvery, a member of the class, being one of the best runners in school, is being depended upon for a place in the Coos County Track Meet. LMJUSIIIL Three members of the Junior class were officers of the Student Body this year. They were: Odis Beckham, President ; Mabel Wilcox, Treasurer; and Adrienne Hazard, Secretary. Later Odis Beckham dropped from school, and the vice president succeeeded him. Again three members of the Junior class were elected to be officers of the Student Body the following year. Lorin Schroeder, President, who always strives to do right. Adrienne Hazard was re-elected Secretary. She keeps a very accurate account of the meetings. Mabel Wilcox was re-elected Treasurer. Her care and accuracy in handling the High School money is faultless. This constitutes the history of the class of ’22. But next year they hope that they can fill a book recording all the honors and good wishes bestowed upon them by the other classes and faculty. j j I Don’t! My parents taught me not to smoke.

The following officers were elected: Irving Lamb, President; Jackson Knife, Vice President; Roba Willard, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss O’Farrell, Class Adviser. Owing to the “flu” epidemic very few Social Activities were held. The Freshman class was well represented in Athletics, several members being on the Football, the Basketball teams, two star men in track and a member in the Declamatory contest. The entering Sophomores of 1920 numbered twenty. There is no question that this class is the smartest Sophomore class in the history of Coquille High School. The class has taken an active part in all past activities. Myrtle Mast, of the Sophomore class, was elected Vice President of the Sudent Body. In Football many of the boys turned out, showing splendid school spirit and several were selected for the first team. In Basketball Albert Oerding is noted for his basket shooting and Cyril McCurdy for his quick movements, which prevent his opponents’ ball from reaching their basket. Two of the best members of the girls’ Basketball team are sophomores: Maude Pearson, captain, and Myrtle Mast, guard. In debate half of the debating team is composed of Sophomores: Errol Sloan winning first place in Bandon; in Coquille, Delia Sherwood second place and Lawrence Moon third. At the State Debating Contest in Eugene, Coquille will represent Coos County. Three members out of four will be Sophomores. The teachers have prophesied that this Class by the time we are Seniors will be the smartest class ever graduated from Coquille High School. —Delia Sherwood.

Tti February 1921 our class was increased by the number of twenty-one: Layton Nosier, Kenneth Staninger, Georgiana Johnson, Hal Howell, Marion Norton, Lyle Beyers, Margarette Hersey, Gordon Epps, Allen Young, Walter Paulson, Velores Call, Merle Miller, Alieen Wilson, Ellen Baker, Hazel Epps, Norma Willard, Maxine Elliott, Dena Ellingsen, Mary Schroeder, Elva Willey, and Vern Ford. The Freshmen Class showed up well in the Athletic Field. We had nine on the Football team and seven on the Basket Ball team. In Football there were: Audrey Fraedrick, Irvine Willard, Lorin Willard, Clone Mi er, Donald Donaldson, Lee Stoncypher, Wilbur Howe, Irving Lamb, and JacksonJ nife. Seven of these won letters. The ones in Basket Ball were: Irvine Willard, Cyril McCurdy, Al- bert Oerding, Audrey Fraedrick, Irving Lamb, Wilbur Howe, and Jackson Knife. All of them won letters. We have five on the track squad, they are: Audrey Fraedrick, Velores Call, Jackson Knife, Donald Donaldson, and Irving Lamb. Our annual social event was the biggest of the year. being held in the Auditorium of the High School. It was on the 1st of April and every one had a good time. On the tenth of March the Freshies’ Basket Ball team played the High School team. It was a hard fought and even game, but the Freshmen lost by a score of 13 to 9. The Freshmen boys were not the only ones to represent the High School in activities; we furnished two good players on the girls Basket Ball team, of which we are proud as well as of the boys,—they were Anna Burr and Hazel Newton. The rest of the Upper Classmen think that they are the only ones, but if it hadn’t been for the Freshmen in Athletics this year, they would have been pretty poor. They say that we are pretty green; of course, we may be as far as school goes, but remember, in this country all green things grow. v A Frosh went walking down the street With two large, gigantic feet. When ever some one he did meet, That some one Had to cross the street In order to get by those feet. jt j j A Frosh stood on the burning deck, But as far as he was concerned, He stood in perfect safety, For he was too green to burn. j j Twinkle, twinkle, little lamp, Kistner is the he-male vamp, Chasing women all day long, All the time singing this little song “I ain’t got weary yet.” JIMMY’S DREAM First Prize—Alberta Dean Jimmy sat on the rug before the fireplace and gazed gloomily into the flames. Why couldn’t people, who gave dinner parties, invite lonesome little boys as well as their mothers and fathers ? “What can a fellow do when he has to stay at home all alone?” he thought. “O, there isn’t a thing to do, but I won’t go to bed. I’ll just sit here until Mother and Daddy come home.” “Well, it’s rather nice to watch the flames, after all. They look just like people dancing about so merrily. Why, they are! They are! They’re real little people with red and yellow dresses, and there’s a little man with a red robe and a yellow crown. 0, I know now, they’re fairies and that must be the fairy Prince.” “Good evening, young man, do you enjoy watching my people dance?” said the queer little man. “0, yes sir, very much. The bright colors of their dresses look so pretty. But I never saw you before. Do you live in the fireplace?” “Yes, I am the Prince of the Flame Fairies. Every night when the fire is built we come out to dance and make the room cozy and cheery for lonesome little boys, who cannot go to dinner parties or shows.” “0, I’m so glad that I’ve found you. Now I’ll never be lonesome if Mother and Daddy do go out evenings. But where do you go when the fire goes out?” questioned Jimmy. “I never see you then.” “No, of course, you never see us then, because, when the fire does go out the Flame Fairies cannot be happy and dance. They must hide away in the dark, sooty chimney and they are very lonesome and sad but they never complain. And sometimes when a great fire is built some of the little people dance so merrily that they fly out of the chimney and the wind blows them about until they become so tired that they fall to the earth and die.” “O, I’m sorry. I’ll tell Daddy never to build a big fire again.” “No, you must not do that. The Flame Fairies have work to do on this earth and they do not wish to shirk it. When a fairy dies he goes back to the earth to make other things, which are important to man. O, yes, Jimmy, we fairies are happy just to do the work that God wishes us to.” “I almost wish I were a Flame Fairy. It must be nice to dance in the fireplace every evening.” “Little boys can’t become fairies, but we should be very glad to have you come and dance with us this evening.” “I----O, I can’t. I hear Mother and Daddy coming, and I know Mother would be afraid I’d burn. It does seem terribly warm, too.” “Jimmy! Jimmy! Do wake up. Why, child, you’re almost in the fire. It’s a good thing that Daddy and I didn’t stay longer as Mrs. Brown asked us to.” j j THE LONELY CHAP Second Prize—Adrienne Hazard It was one winter evening at the club that I first saw the “Lonely Chap.” He was sitting by the fire glancing at a book. We were playing billiards and Bill Wright glanced over and remarked, “Lonely looking Chap.” I agreed, and from that time on we called him the “Lonely Chap.” Every once in a while he would drop in at the club, but he never came over and joined us. I knew there was something wrong for not only did he look lonesome but there was a look of defeat in his eyes. I often wished he could come to our home some evening and I finally resolved that I would ask him as soon as I had the opportunity. One evening as usual he was sitting there. I strolled over to him and said, “Hello, won’t you come over and get in the game?” He replied in the negative, but asked me to sit down and have a smoke. I did so and before long I found that he had a strong character; by nature he was friendly, but that something was seriously wrong, which made him otherwise. I asked if he was working here now, and he lowered his eyes and said, “No, I’m out of a job just now.” The moment he said that I knew that was where the trouble lay. Finally I grew to know him well enough to ask him out to the house. With a little hesitation he consented and the next evening I took him home with me. Mother is a very jolly woman, and father, who is quite a prominent lawyer, loves to talk. Max Buler, for that was the “Lonely Chap’s” real name, seemed to enjoy himself and after that I frequently brought him home with me. We all enjoyed his company, but Mother did especially, because he was a real gentleman and he always treated her with the greatest respect and courtesy. On Dad’s birthday, Mother arranged a little dinner and I told Max to be sure to come. We had a dandy time and after dinner we all went in the living room and sat around the fireplace. Finally Max spoke and said quietly, “Folks, you have done everything for me and I feel that I should tell you what a failure I have been.” The pain on his face as he said this made me want to share part of his suffering myself. It seems that a little while before this he had filled a position of great trust for a prominent company. They had given him quite a large sum of money to invest but through some misfortune it had been lost. The company had discharged him and the shame of defeat had been his undoing. As he finished he said bitterly, “ No one will ever know what I went through trying to get the money back, but it was no use, I only lost my own earnings.” We all remained quiet after this and then mother quoted, “It isn’t the fact that you’re licked that counts, it’s how did you fight—and why?” “I haven’t realized till now,” he cried, “what a cad I have been, living on my sister’s money.” But when he got up to leave he said, “To-morrow I look for a job.” Now, father has a good friend, who owns a large bond house here, and that very night he called up and told him he was sending a young man around, who would be a great asset to his business. The next morning Dad called up Max and told him to go around and see this man. That evening while we were discussing Max and his prospects, he rushed in and shouted, “I got the job, and I’ve been so busy I couldn’t get around till now.” We celebrated that night, and when I glanced at Max’s face, I contrasted it with the one I had first seen. It was so happy and beaming that I laughed to think we had once called him the “Lonely Chap.” Finis -J w t •. ’ A Triple Alibi Mrs. Parr: “Gordon Epps, were you making faces at Allen Young?” Gordon, “No, mam, I wasn’t.” Mrs. Parr: “He said you were.” Gordon: “I wasn’t, teacher; you see I had a tooth pulled and I can’t keep my tongue out of the hole and there is something in my eyes and my nose itches so I have to twitch it.” „• Miss Whitney: “What did the Americans do for forti- fications ?” Jenny: “Oh, they just threw up.” The first social event of the year was a Christmas party held in the High School auditorium, Friday, December 17. The halls and auditorium were decorated with holly, mistletoe, and the High School colors, red and white. A large tree with a gift for each one present occupied the stage. Ice cream and cookies were served in the Domestic Science room. This, in addition to being a Christmas party, was also held in honor of the local football team. Several parties were held for the two basket ball teams. The girls’ team entertained the boys’ team on two occasions, and several individuals of the town gave receptions or banquets in their honor. The Freshmen held an April Fool party in the auditorium, with a large attendance. All Frosh were present with a few exceptions, and also several upper classmen without invitation. Games were played and punch and wafers served in the Domestic Science room. The annual Junior-Senior reception was held June 3 in the Methodist Church basement. The room was tastefully decorated in rose and green, the Senior colors, and the class flower, laurel. A six course dinner was served, after which toasts and speeches were made by various members of the faculty and classes. According to custom the cane was presented by the Senior president to the Junior president. The school year 1920-21 has not afforded much along the line of music on account of not having a music instructor in the high school. Despite this fact, under the able direction of Mrs. Sperry, the High School Chorus has made unusual progress in vocal training. It presented a good appearance at the High School Dedication and will also furnish music for the Commencement program. The Chorus consists of the following members: Gertrude Butler, Mary Bennett, Adrienne Hazard, Dorothy Newton, Rosanna Schroeder, Delia Sherwood, Myrtle Newton, Harriet Gould and Helen Sherwood. We are proud to say that there is much musical talent in the high school. Many students are planning on entering upon a musical career. All pupils, who are taking music from an accredited teacher, receive a credit for one year’s work. They must practice on an average of eigthy minutes a day. M.

Place: Mrs. Perrington-Shine’s country home, about thirty minutes from Phil. Occasion: A house party at the Lee-Early wedding. On Friday, May 13, 1921, the Juniors and Seniors of the Coquille High School presented this play, “The Hoodoo,” at the Liberty Theater. This was a clever little mystery play in three acts with eighteen in the cast. Only four weeks were spent in practising. The first act took place on the lawn of Mrs. Perrington-Shine’s country home, the occasion being a wedding party. The groom, Brighton Early, was presented with an Egyptian scarab as a wedding present from his cousin, Professor Spiggot. According to an ancient superstition it would bring bad luck to its possessor unless buried for twenty-four hours in the earth when it changed hands. However, Brighton was not superstitious so he did not bury the pin. But his troubles began immediately. An actress, Dodo de Graft, with whom he had had an affair two years previous arrived and demanded thirty thousand dollars for the letters he had written her; he lost all his money by the failure of a bank; and a burglar stole the diamond necklace sent to him for approval. He then threw the pin away. In the second act Aunt Paradise, the colored cook, found the pin and then her supper and her money in her stocking bank disappeared. She gave the scarab to Billy Jackson, Brighton’s friend, and then it turned out to be the bank in which his money was kept that failed. Each of the two girls and the widow in the party expected him to marry her. But when they found he was engaged to all three, none of them would have him. To cap the climax he was accused of being a thief and by a peculiar mistake pointed out as the father of seven children. The third act was in the library late in the evening. The burglar stole the scarab pin and was immediately captured with all the stolen property. He was discovered to be the husband of Dodo, so Brighton was freed from that trouble. Billy’s money was safe, he won the right girl, and every thing came out all right. The bits of humor were carried off very well, especially by Aunt Paradise. With such a short time for practice, the play was considered quite a success. On Friday afternoon it became necessary for Mr. Parr to take Lowell’s part in the play and a great deal of gratitude and many compliments are due him for the way in which he succeeded. LM'yjmL Debate Coquille was very successful in debate this year. Ban-don was the only other school in the district that retained membership in the Debate League. The question was: “Resolved: That the principle of the open shop be adopted as a policy of American industry.” Delia Sherwood, Mary Bennett and Lawrence Moon debated at home. Alice Barker, Errol Sloan and Lorin Schoreder represented Coquille High at Bandon. Mr. Baker coached the teams. Both local teams were victorious, thus giving Coquille the County Championship and the right to send delegates to Eugene to contest for the state championship. The question for the state championship debate this year is: “Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads.” The debaters are doing intensive work on this question and we are all confident they will do their best to bring glory to Coquille High. j v Dispatch from the war front April 30, 1921:—Fraed-rick, the Great, takes Bunker Hill in his Buick at 4:00 A. M., allowing but one survivor. jt jt Mrs. Parr: “What makes the food go down the aesoph-agus from the mouth ?” Dorothy B.: “Little bacteria in the throat push it down.” j j Mr. Baker (In discussing newspapers): “The Journal is more or less a cheap paper, anyway.” Delia: “ Tis not, we take it.” v v „ t Mr. Baker: “Almond, tell the story of Eonone.” Almond: “Eonone had a child that had pneumonia. It got sicker and sicker and finally they had to bury it.” Coquille was unusually well represented in the Coos County Oratorical and Declamatory contest at Marshfield this year. Teresa Clinton represented us in Declamatory. As she was the only girl going out for speaking, the usual preliminaries were not held. Although she did not win the McCormac cup she did credit to her school. She is a Sophomore so she will be here next year to win first place for us. Lawrence Moon, our debate hero, nobly represented us in Oratory. Although he was in the midst of learning his debate, he willingly entered the contest and won Coquille second place. The interest shown by the H. S. this year along these lines is remarkable and the defeat, instead of discouraging the contestants and members of the High School, will act as an incentive to further efforts and a determination to win next year. tJWWHIi THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY President, Helen Sherwood. Secretary, Adrienne Hazard. Vice President, Myrtle Mast. Treasurer, Mabel Wilcox “In order to promote the general welfare of our school and secure the co-operation of all the students in any matter which concerns them as a whole, we, the students of Co-quille High School, have formed ourselves into an association, to be known as the Student Body.” This is the preamble to the constitution of the organization which has proved itself indispensable to our High School. The Student Body dues are $1.00 per semester, the payment of which entitles the student to a ticket admitting him to all athletic and other contests conducted by the Student Body. This fund is used for carrying on our Athletics and for buying gym equipment. The Executive Committee consists of the officers of the association, a faculty member, and four members elected from the Student Body at large. At the beginning of the year, Miss Mary O’Farrell was elected faculty adviser, while Almond Martin, Lawrence Moon, Harriet Gould, and Irving Lamb were elected as members from the Student Body at large. The success of the financial end of the Athletic and other activities was largely due to our efficient Business Manager, Irving Lamb, together with the valuable assistance of Mary O’Farrell. A good part of the prevailing school spirit which has been shown throughout the school year, we owe to our yell leader, Polly Moon. Not only has this organization provided money for the maintenance of Athletics and an equal say for all in the affairs of the Student Body, but it has tended to make the students pull together and in this way encouraged school spirit rather than class rivalry. —H. S. ’21 FOOTBALL The football season of 1920 was one that will be long remembered in the Hall of Fame of the Coquille High School. We did lose two games but this was due to the lack of practice. Our school did not open until five weeks after the regular time because the new building was not finished. We started school on Oct. 11 and with five days of practice, we went to North Bend and were beaten by a small margin. After two more weeks of practice we played the most exciting game that has ever been played in this vicinity for many years. During this short practice period it was only through the unparalleled help of our long-to-be-remembered coach, Roy Watson, that our team was put into such shape that they were able to defeat Marshfield, the first time in seven years. Owing to illness and difficulties, we lost two men after this game. The next week we went to Myrtle Point and played a tie game, 7 to 7. We were outweighed ten pounds to the man, and played on a slick field, or Myrtle Point would have been an easy victim. Then came the hard luck of the season. Clone Miller. Lauren Willard and Paul Johnson had to leave school. The next game we played with Myrtle Point with just what men we could get. As the whistle sounded at the end of the first half our husky little half-back, Audrey Fraed-rick, was laid out on account of a bruise received in the previous game with Myrtle Point. So we lost this game. This ended our football season. Next year we expect to show even better than this year. Two of the football squad graduate this year, Almond Martin, quarter back, and Lowell Simpson, right end. The following received letters in football: Clone Miller, -rv hAWvMHh Lauren Willard, Irvin Willard, Paul Johnson, Hugh Stone-cypher, Don Donaldson, Wilbur Howe, Lloyd Haynes and Almond Martin. To Odis Beckham, our capt., and Audrey Fraedrick a star each was awarded, these two men having received letters last year. Our line-up was as follows: Wilbur Howe, left end; Clone Miller, left tackle; Lloyd Haynes, left guard; Hugh Stonecypher, center; Lauren Willard, right guard; Irvin Willard, right tackle; Odis Beckham, right end; Samuel Arnold, left half back; Paul Johnson, full back; Audrey Fraedrick, right half back; and Almond Martin, quarter back. The subtsitutes were Don Donaldson and Irving Lamb. : , i . “Mother,” said little Ethel, after contemplating her baby brother for some time, “Was I a baby once?” “Yes, dear; we were all babies once.” “You and daddy, mother?” “Yes.” “And grandpa?” “Yes, of course.” “What, mother,” exclaimed the child increduously, “With that beard!” .j On Adrienne’s argumentative theme: “—and now students, people should not dance on school nights, but iT they want to dance, it is best for them to dance on their week-end.” Jack: “I can’t see the difference between the 25 and 35 cent shows at the Liberty.” Polly: “You poor boob, 10 cents, of course.” ■J Mary O’Farrell: “What have you in your mouth?” Bright One: “Teeth.” BASKET BALL We did not come out as well in Basket Ball as we did in Football, because all of our B. B. men were inexperienced. We only had one man on our team who had ever played a game of High School B. B. before. We only won two games of B. B., one in which we beat Riverton 32-11 and the other Myrtle Point 26-18. Next year we will make a better showing because we will have experienced players, although we lose one strong player in the person of Almond Martin, whom we expect to see playing on a college team next year. The line-up was as follows: Irvin Willard, Capt. and center; Irving Lamb, left guard; Audrey Freadrick, right guard; Albert Oerding, left forward; and Almond Martin, right forward. Those who received letters were Irvin Willard, Almond Martin, Albert Oerding, Irving Lamb, Audrey Fraed-rick, Wilbur Howe, Jackson Knife, Kenneth Kistner and Cyril McCurdy. vtf V The minister was being entertained at dinner. Little Ralph was allowed to be present. “Do you always say your prayers at night, my little man?” asked the guest. “Yes, sir,” was the prompt reply, “and mother does, too.” “That’s right, and your father says his, too, doesn’t he?” “No, he doesn’t have to,” said the child, “because he never gets home till it’s broad daylight, an’ then what is there to pray about?” v J Sim: “Did you ever take chloroform?” Skinny Y: “No, who teaches it?” GIRLS BASKET BALL Under the direction of Miss Thelma Wilkinson, basket ball practice began the last part of November. The girls came out to practice faithfully, and after a number of weeks of hard work the first team was chosen. Maude Pierson was elected captain and Rosanna Schroeder business manager. The team this year consisted of the following girls: Anna Burr and Maude Pierson, forward; Rosanna Schroeder, jumping center; Viola Knife, running center; Myrtle Mast and Hazel Newton, guards; and Dorothy Newton, sub. The girls’ basket ball team was comprised of seven girls, including the sub this year. Anna Burr, the married lady of our high school, wras one of our best forwards. Maude Pierson was the other forward and a very good one, too. But she had a rep for disliking boys, so they were careful about fussing her. You’ve kind of changed since “Hem” began paying court, haven’t you, Maude? Rosanna Schroeder was jumping center. She’s red headed! No wonder she can jump! Viola Knife was running center. She played a straight, clean game all the time. Only the M. P. girls could arouse Viola’s wrath. Myrtle Mast was one of the guards and she surely could guard her opponent to the last. Remember the Preacher’s daughter, Myrtle? Hazel Newton was the other guard. She certainly could stay with the one she was guarding. Dorothy Newton was their sub but as most of our girls were long winded and always eager for the fray, she didn’t play in any regular game. GIRLS GYM CLASS GYMNASIUM Under the direction of Miss O’Farrell, the girl’s gymnasium work has reached a higher standard than in previous years. The class meets three times a week: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Wednesday the class is given entirely to folk dances. On Mondays and Fridays the work is of a different nature, such as marching and difficult exercises. We wish to thank Miss O’Farrell for the interest she has taken in the class, and are glad that she will be with u next year. Jt H. L. Johnson was with us again this year, continuing his work as janitor. He appreciates having the new building as much as the students and has done his work very satisfactorily. He is always there with a smile and a word for all. He says he hasn’t a word to say for himself, though.

Social events have been few and far between, but greatly enjoyed nevertheless. Most of the classes seemed to be too much occupied with hard work to have time for parties. However, after each basket ball game held here, the teams were provided with entertainment and we feel it is to our credit that much better feeling has been manifested this year, between Coquille and the other schools of the county, than for several years previous. This is to be greatly desired, for a feeling of ill-will between towns does not promote activities. j v In the athletic fields, both boys and girls worked hard and did their best to bring us honor. We were more successful in mental efforts, winning first place in debate and second in Oratory. j Owing to a lack of artistic ability in the school there was a great deal of trouble in procuring cuts for the annual, so please don’t criticize us too severely on this score. «, V Only through the aid given us by various business men of the city have we been able to produce this annual. We sincerely thank them and hope that in return an added patronage will be accorded them. .j The editors also wish to thank the various members of the staff and also those members of the Student Body, who have helped make this annual, and for their earnest efforts in our behalf. j Owing to the snapshots of the various classes arriving too late, they could not be included this year.

As little as one dollar opens a savings account at this bank. Your money earns interest. If desired, we will lay out a savings plan for you. FARMERS MERCHANTS BANK of Coquille, Oregon Clothes Cleaner Than the Milk You Drink All of us have learned through our studies of personal hygiene and sanitation that if we would best safeguard our health, our clothes should be sterilized as well as washed. It is understanding of this fact that makes our laundering methods superior to those of the laundress. When you send us your family bundle we return it to you purer than the milk you drink. Milk is supposed to be safe for use after it has been pasteurized, or held at a temperature of from 131 to 151 degrees for a few minutes. After washing clothes as we wash them—in pure water at 180 degrees—and drying them in a current of clean, fresh air at 250 degrees, your things approach nearer to perfect purity than the milk you serve on your table. To be sure of clothes’ cleanliness and clothes’ purity, telephone us. We will have our driver call for your family bundle.
