L. ’25 LAiUJ [r S [E, I a IEg SENIOR CLASS HISTORY S|c) Vi Yd Yd Yd V V YJ Yd Yd WHEN? A bright and sunny morning in September in the year of our Lord, Nineteen hundred and twenty-one. Where? On the hard clay grounds of the Coquille High School. What? A slight chastisement of an ignorant-looking group of young people, who had for their chastisers and audience, another group of pupils who did not look a bit less ignorant. Why? The members of the class of ’25 were getting their first christening into Coquille Hi. (I say first because these christenings occurred at intervals for about a year.) It was not until the other classes found out our worth that they ceased to annoy us. Our class, which entered in Nineteen hundred and twenty-one, was the largest up to that time, since it consisted of fifty-four members. N V y Yd Four years have passed—years that we would not sell for love nor money, because of what they have meant to us. In this time we have grown from the green and ignorant bunch of freshmen to the dignified seniors of today. Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd Yd YJ Yd Yd Vi Yd Yd We have struggled onward and upward along that rough and rugged road to knowledge. For some of our number, this road proved too rough to follow and consequently without a sufficient effort, they failed. Then too, there are those who strayed away to the other places, and are now probably awaiting, as we are awaiting, to step out into the world of hard knocks. Those of us that are left, however, who have made the grade, after four short and successful years of high school, now wait upon tne threshold of the future. We might ask ourselves this question. Have we played our part in activities. This would be the answer. We have. It is useless to name our stars in basket ball, football, or in any other athletics; they are too many. Our class has contributed its share to all the activities. We know that our adversaries in other schools of Coos County will be glad to see the class of ’25 pass on, and that they will breathe a sigh of relief, when they know that our stars will no longer be there to deprive them of their honors. In dramatics, music, debating, oratory, we have always aimed to do our best. When ever we had the opportunity to please the public we did our best. Tomorrow is coming. Each one will do his utmost towards filling his place in the world, and we feel certain that this class, which has conducted itself so brilliantly and successfully here in good old Coquille Hi, will find a place of honor and respect in the future; that each one as the years roll by will look back with fond memories to days of joy and gladness ai Coquille Hi. Clare Lehmanowsky ’25 'J§k V )gv ■ ■ 9 r V •� ■� , PROPHECY Ihave left my classmates of ’25, Through ten long years I’ve strayed afar, Many people I’ve met, and seen sights so fine; But oft as I sit and gaze at the stars, I think of those friends of that class of mine. So one night I sat in wonder by the sea, That I might think what their fate might be; A faint flutter in the breeze caught my ear, And a voice broke silence, saying, “Mortal, don’t fear. For I am the Great Spirit, king of spirits far and wide, Your prayers I heard so I came by the wind; For I am a crystal gazer, and once I made a rule To phrophecy for ’25, that was the best in school, So shut your eyes and listen, be quiet as dead.” I complied with every wish, and this is what he said: “Earl Rice, noted scientist, a physicist is he, Has found perpetual motion by the square of “g” times “t”; Tyler Walker, radio man, and gazer at the stars. Publishes the daily news received from Mars; On a farm near Coquille, Frank George resides, Lewis Donaldson, put to sea and in a ship he rides: Wilfred Laird runs a ranch, Iva Baker at his side; In a gilded pupit the Reverend Lyle Beyers stands, Loud shoutings from his mouth, motions from his hands; Staninger, Peart, Shuck, form the happy dancers grand, For they teach many to sway, and kick to beat the band; Walter Paulson, Art McAdams, own a big cowpen, The boys work a little, and loaf now and then; Margaret Beyers, Mary Watson, are chorus girls of note; A singer Norton is, wild tones come from her throat; Layton Nosier, a heavy-weight boxer, is the champ; Marguerite Hersey, movie star, is classed as a vamp; Lena Pinkston, Eleanor Foley, found a way to lose fat, That’s got the daily dozen beat clear off from the map; George Belloni, Congressman, from Oregon state, And McCurdy is another—those boys can sure debate; Maxine Paulson, a nurse, has made a great success, That’s why Hal Howell, undertaker, prospers so, I guess; Myrtle Clayton, a suffragette, ’tis sorry to relate, Has gone to Ireland, to plan out a new state; Evelyn Oerding, Lola Ball, run a florist shop, Allen Young, experiments with love and ceases to stop; Mary Esther Johnson, married a duke, don’t cha know; And Hazel Epps, a baker’s wife, can surely roll the dough; Mabel Barnes, poor girl, never changed, sits in the den - I _ . r, 7nh� � minm—■■■■■■■ ■mwwwwxm mOP Jsa r.a. sp W w, V 'Oh w V 6 ’C ' 6i V W V, 3 id d id ij u id tr g!s week.” Of an Old Maids’ home, abusing and hating all men; Eugene Laird, Harry Varney, met untimely death, They waxed too eloquent and soon ran out of breath; Avis Hartson, manicurist, runs a parlor fine; Here Simmons, Epps, Johnson, spend most of their time.” There came a pause, all was very, very still, I opened my eyes one thing to ask, if his highness willed; ”0 Great Spirit, of my fate I now should like to know,” “Oh! that’s another story,” and he vanished with the blow, I rose and plodded onward, on my tired and weary way, Pondering over what I’d heard the King of Spirits say, Now should anyone take this to heart, or get to feeling blue. Just remember ’tis a tale that I’ve told to you. Clare Lehmanowsky ’25 JUST AS IT SHOULD BE I’m popular when they’re studying, I’ve a lot of vim and pep; ’Cause I work the whole day through— And I never lose my rep. Ah! The girls, they smile at me. The boys, they frown, and sigh; There’s n’er a playful prank you see, That passes by my sight. If I could only tell my thoughts, Of all the secrets I could tell, ’Bout girls who flirt with glances oft’, And boys who receive them well. But of such things I’ll never tell, Although my voice n’er ceases to sound. I’m nothing but the faithful, old—well The clock that ticks the whole, day, round. Mr. Cramer: “How was iron first made?” Lyle: “I think, Mr. Cramer, they smelt it.” j Allen: “There’s a certain question I’ve wanted to ask you for a Maxine: “Well hurry up.

W C £ v v JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY WHEN we first entered Coquille High School three years ago, we felt very meek, as I suppose all freshmen before us have felt, but after a few weeks we “snapped out of it” and began to gain more confidence in ourselves. While we were Freshies we spent most of our valuable time-building castles in the air, but now that we are thoughtful and dignified juniors—well our results speak for us. Now, as juniors, we have been termed “dreamy” by some of the unsympathetic seniors, but even they have to admit that the adjective does not exactly fit. Although we do not make such a bluster about our activities we are nevertheless living up to our class motto “Rowing, not Drifting,” and one of these days the other classes of Coquille Hi will be surprised to see the juniors gliding safely into port ahead of the rush while the others thought we were drifting along the easiest currents. We are all very proud of our achievements as juniors. Who else in Coquille High School could have put on, “What Happened to Jones,” as we juniors did? Ask any of the juniors and they will tell you, “No one.” As sophomores we were represented in football by Zed Finley, Lester Wilson, Wayne Robinson, and Lee Stonecypher, and in basket ball by Lester Wilson and Hadley Curts. As juniors we had three letter men on the Championship football squad; namely, Wayne Robinson, Zed Finley, and Lester Wilson. Several others went as subs and will probably be let-termen next year. In basket ball we had two lettermen on the Championship team—Lester Wilson and Arthur Pulford. We are represented in the girls’ glee club by: Bernice Alpine, Garnet Steward, Clara Brockman, Velma Gheer, Eleanore Wilson, Gladys Culbertson, and Alma Oden; and in the boys’ glee club by: Wayne Robinson, Lester Wilson, Ross Kistner, Zed Finley, Rupert Pownder, Le Norme Pownder, Robert Cotton and Rolen Musgrove. Marion and Rolen Musgrove upheld the honor of the junior class very well in the orchestra. The juniors have also several active members in the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Wayne Robinson is the vice president of the associated student body and Ross Kistner was the business manager for the country fair. Taken as a whole, we are as well represented in everything as any of the other classes. And so, the junior class goes on, “Rowing,” silently, but surely and looking forward to the time when we will be the “Brilliant Seniors,” and we will be able to dictate to the underclassmen. “He who does his best, does nobly. Angels could do no better.’ Are you doing your best for Coquille High School? The juniors are! T miuiff J} 3© -, V V V1 yj w Xtf V 4 . u W W V V V V v w V v -.

With keen anticipation, they entered upon their school work by giving their loyal support in all undertakings entered in by Coquille High. Edward Johnson and Irmen Kime, two of last year’s orchestra members, were back again this year and with Harold Gould supported that musical organization. The sixteen boys and girls who were in the Glee Clubs were: Thelma Nelson, Blanche Jorgensen, Fern Houdyshell, Rosalie Peart, Ruth Schroed-er, Doris Myhren, Margaret Bell, Opal Gaslin, Alta Belle Elwood, Jean Young, Herman Floten. Lawrence Cadle. Edward Johnson, William Smith, Iladley Curts and Kenneth Jacobsen. It is with pride that we mention those of our class who entered in football and assisted in winning the Coos County Championship. Those receiving letters in football were: Harlo Call, Royce Richmond and Hadley Curts; John Seeley and Herman Floten also entered in that field of sport. Our class was represented in girls basket ball by: Katherine Peart, captain; Alice Collier, Fern Houdyshell and Fredah Baxter. The former three received letters. None of the sophomore boys received letters in basket ball, however there were three who enterd. They were: Royce Richmond, James Agos-tine and Hadley Curts. The class was still better represented in assisting with the publication of the High School paper, a new enterprise entered upon by the student body. Those on the staff were: Alice Collier, Fern Houdyshell, Alta Belle Elwood, Clare Bean, and Clarence Bean. Fern Houdyshell was on the “Laurel” staff also.

There were fifty-two at the beginning of the year. This number was increased by twelve when the new freshmen entered at the mid-year. Many freshmen took part in the various activities of the high school. Those participating in the glee club were: Orpha Burket, Mildred Chapin, Carol Dibblee, Verna Harrold, Marvin Jane Hawkins, Wanda Houdyshell, Gertrude Maiden, Doris Maiden, Phyllis McCurdy, Josephine Terres, Margaret Wilcox, Clarence Barton, and James Galbraith. Wanda Houdyshell played on the basket ball team and three others, namely, Frances Nosier, Lula Belle Rice, and Alice Oerding, were substitutes. James Galbraith was a substitute for the boys’ Championship basket ball team and was also a member of the orchestra. The freshmen were represented in the Oratorical contest by Clarence Barton, James Galbraith and William King; and in Debate by Clarence Barton, James Galbraith, William King and Haldane Holmstrom. Clarence Barton was the alternative for the regular debate team. On September 25 the high school gave a party in honor of the fresh- W w w Xd • W ' y P P :P j it y xt v.

When the new freshmen entered the high school at mid-year every one, except the sophomores, wondered why the freshies all entered the building by the back door instead of the front door as is the custom, but later it was learned that they had been influenced to do so by the dignified sophomores. The freshman class organized at the beginning of the year and the following officers were elected: Clarence Barton, president; Inez Wimer, vice president; Wanda Houdyshell, secretary; Bernice Foley, treasurer; and Phyllis McCurdy, executive council representative.

Hi Times Editor ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY THE Student Body is an organization of all the members of the high school for the purpose of carrying on all business of the students as a group and for promoting better relations between the students. Each year seven officers are elected, who with four class representatives compose the Executive Council. This council acts for the student body in •nany smaller matters, although all of their actions are subject to the approval of the student body. '.I V i i i i v; V 4- We began this year with the realization that we were going to have a hard time to uphold the standard set by the officers and student body of last year. However, as new activities have been entered into and old ones have been increased the students have united in a spirit of cooperation which has placed Coquille at the front in every one of these. The high school paper and the Board of Control are new activities that have succeeded, while the football and basketball teams could not have attained the success which they did had it not been for the unified support of the students. We have been spurred on in our activities this year by the splendid support of the townspeople. As a small recognition of this we subscribed $150 to help build the Community Building. 3|c yf w J V £■ c- v e ; • i - ■? ■ 9 v 9 BOARD OF CONTROL A provision was made in the constitution, adopted this year, which established student government, whereby the students would govern their own conduct in the building. It provided for a board of control which consisted of the four class presidents, one person appointed by the High School Principal, and two individuals elected from the student body at large. The board was composed of the following members: Wayne Robinson, chairman; Lewis Donaldson, Clarence Bean, Clarence Barton, Fern Houdyshell, Clare Lehman-owsky, and Iva Baker. The latter three were to serve just one semester but were re-elected and re-appointed at mid-year to serve their second term. The faculty gave them jurisdiction over just a small section of the building, at first, so they drew up rules and penalties, governing only the halls and stairs. They prohibited running, loud or boisterous talking, scuffling, more than five persons stopping to read the bulletin board at one time, walking more than one abreast while passing from classes, and standing in the narrow part of the hall. For the first violation of any rule, the violator had to learn all the rules and penalties. For the second offence the offender learned from fifteen to thirty lines of poetry and served a detention period of from thirty to forty-five minutes. Upon the third offence the violator was sent to the principal’s office, but this was not necessary this year. It is the board’s duty to adjust such differences as may arise between classes or between Coquille High School and any other school; to fry all cases of violations and when necessary to administer punishment to the violators of rules governing the Associated Students; and to assume such powers and duties of laws as are turned over to it by the High School Principal. Student government was opposed at first by individuals, who, when they saw the students could govern themselves as well as they could be governed by the faculty, realized it was a real success and was considered such by almost all the students. For that reason it is expected that this new form of government will be handled on a larger basis in the following years. It is planned to have the library and the study halls controlled by students in the future. To prepare the students to become good citizens is the primary purpose of the school. Therefore the more a student assists in the governing of the school, the more prepared he is to take an active part in governmental affairs after he has graduated from school. 6 V v V A. � V«- -V 7 V V Laird, W.

E. McCormack; and secured a membership plate from the Junior State Chamber of Commerce. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is patterned after the City Chamber of Commerce and co-operates with them in numerous local civic activities. The aim of this organization is to make the students better qualified for citizenship. Much knowledge is gained by a student who is an active member of the organization as he acquires the ability to work with and for others for the good of the community. Last year the Junior Chamber of Commerce received a great deal oL: praise for the active part they played in the various civic movements. The most important undertaking of the organization last year was the building of the “Dinty Moore Trail,” a board sidewalk running from Fourth street to the high school building, a distance of about half a mile. The money for the material was received from the city and from the property owners who were benefitted by the sidewalk and the high school boys built it. I f. The walk was christened the “Dinty Moore Trail” in appreciation of the active part Mr. Moore took in helping to raise the money and the work he did which made it possible for the walk to be built. This year the Junior Chamber of Commerce plans to build a cement sidewalk from the front entrance of the high school building to the highway which will improve the looks of the building a great deal. They are also going to seed the yard in front of the school for a lawn as soon as the sidewalk is completed. The committee which was appointed to represent the chamber at the city Chamber of Commerce was George Belloni, John Seeley, and Clarence Bean. Much valuable information and experience was gained through these meetings. KTTd. 6. 'i|.' rpilE “C” Club was re-organized under a new constitution this year. The 1 purpose of this organization is to foster the spirit of unity in the support of all authorized activities of the school. Any boy who is awarded a “C” in any athletic contest and complies with the constitution automatically becomes a member of the “C” Club. w This year’s officers are: W V - . - Xd Allen Young - President Layton Nosier ...

S' • £ g tj g' g g l wfeg W1 GIRLS’ LEAGUE THE girls of the senior class met in January to organize a senior girls’ club. The following officers were elected at this meeting: President, Iva Baker; Vice President, Gladys Peart; Secretary and Treasurer, Lola Ball; and Reporter, Myrtle Clayton. A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions for the club, but before they had time to act, Mrs. K. W. Jameson, Dean of Women at Oregon Agricultural College, visited the school and suggested to the girls that they organize a League for all the girls of the school, with the senior girls as leaders of the organization. The committee was then asked to draw up v a constitution for the Girls’ League of the Coquille High School. The purpose of this league is to promote friendship and scholarship, and to develop leadership and character among the girls of the school. There is to be a “Big Sister” department to help the freshmen girls get acquainted and make friends with the upper class girls. There are several other departments which will help the organization to perform its work efficiently. VJ w b ! V V V J w w w w S i v , 4 V Y Although the League was not organized until quite late in the year the girls feel that during its existence it has been a success. The first student body activity in which the League took part was the Country Fair. Though the girls were all busy with other booths and had so much to do, they managed to put on a “Style Show,” which proved to be one of ; the main attractions of the evening. Many other things have been planned ; which it is hoped may be accomplished before the close of school in May. ; One of these things is the initiation which should be held just before the end of the school year. At this time all the girls in school will be taken into the League unless they signify their intention of having nothing to do with the organization. The student body sent the adviser, Miss Mary Druley; the president, iva Baker; and a representative of the junior class, Eleanor Wilson, to the Educational Exposition at O. A. C., where they obtained valuable information concerning their organization. Mrs. Ella Wilson, Dean of Girls in Franklin High School, of Portland, was present and outlined her plan of organization which is considered the best in the state. The constitution ior the League was drawn up on this plan and promises to be very effective. l i gAs S|9 I; V V ; • . p w v 1 6 V Y -• W x Young, A. Laird, W. Paulson, M. Wilson, L. Brockman, C.

Another important part of the paper is the advertising of the business men of Coquilie, which makes it possible for the paper to be published. The staff which has worked hard to make the paper a success deserves much credit as their work has been very successful. It has been the best advertising means for Coquille High School as the paper is exchanged with other high school papers all over the state and a few in other states. The experience gained this year should make the paper a big success next year. lj? 1wj? l T wllr m Lf ■4g ' g g C- g vi 4 V V V V 'A W A 4 i 4 v w ■ 4 S.4 9««n , 0 c i(3lT a. QvT 9! D pillll V a Vv «p V ♦ V J V ' X c 'J FOOTBALL jt THE start of football practice was greeted with an enthusiasm which continued until the last day of practice. The squad, which totaled twenty-three, was not lacking in experience as there were nine lettermen and several others who had had previous experience. The teams in the County League this year were very evenly matched. The situation at the end of the season was such that if Coquille was to lose her last game she would be tied with Marshfield for County honors. However, the team kept up the fight which has characterized Co-quille’s teams for the past two years and won the County Championship for the first time in eleven years. It was, however, only through the hard and untiring work of our coach, “Brick” Leslie that they were able to do this. Our coach, Keith Leslie, is himself an experienced player, having played with the University of Oregon team three years and later with the Multnomah Club of Portland. Much of his success this season was undoubtedly due to his earlier experience. Although several players graduate, the seven remaining lettermen and this year’s subs are expected to form a team which will be a credit to Coquille High. THE GAMES 'GK . V' Y J V' v J Vj VJ Bandon at Coquille Our first game was with Bandon, October 4. The game was played on the Athletic Park field before a large crowd of fans. Coquille managed to keep the ball in Bandon’s territory most of the time but it was not until the final quarter that a twenty-yard pass was completed for the only touchdown of the game. Soon afterwards the final whistle blew and it was Coquille’s game 7-0. North Bend at Coquille Our second game, October 18, with North Bend, was one of the surprises of the year. In this game North Bend was out-played all the way. It was a punting game, Coquille averaging fifteen or twenty yards more than their opponents. In the second quarter the ball was bucked over the line and in the third quarter a punt was returned for a touchdown. During the last quarter eight second team men played but even then North Bend could not score. The final score was 12-0. Marshfield at Coquille This game was played in a sea of mud and water which kept both teams from making much yardage. Coquille clearly out-played Marshfield in every department of the game but was unable to put over a winning score. The last three games between Coquille and Marshfield have all resulted in tie games. 4 Jin S[9 it W W ■3 g‘ 3 9-3 w V i a V V V V w Y, Coquille at Myrtle Point This game was played in a drizzling rain that continued throughout Ihe whole game. Coquille got off with a good start and before the end of the first quarter had bucked the ball over for a touchdown. Early in the second quarter the Myrtle Point safety returned a punt for a touchdown and tied the score. A good many passes were tried in the second half but the game ended 6-6. Coquille at Bandon This was Coquille’s game from the start. In the first three minutes a field goal was scored and in the same quarter the ball was bucked over for a touchdown. Another field goal was scored before the end of the half. In the last quarter an intercepted pass meant another touchdown tor Coquille. The game ended 19-0. Myrtle Point at Coquille In this game, November 14, both teams were at top form. Myrtle Point threatened Coquille’s goal twice but lacked the punch to put it over. Coquille forced the ball down the field until a field goal could be made. This was the only score of the game, Myrtle Point being unable to complete any of her justly famed passes or runs. Coquille at North Bend The final game of the season was played at North Bend, November 21. North Bend, after an exchange of punts in the first quarter, bucked the ball over for a touchdown but Coquille soon evened the score with a completed pass. A few minutes later a field goal was scored. In the last quarter Coquille fumbled the ball back of her own goal line and a safety for North Bend resulted. But the score 9-8 carried with it not only the game but also the County Championship.

It is an honor for both the player and the school to have members of the team selected for this mythical eleven. It represents an achievement which can be earned only through consistent practice and training. Every man on the squad observed practice and training faithfully. The result was that six of this year’s football team were selected for the all-county team. They were: Allen Young Lester Wilson Layton Nosier Clare Lemanowsky Wilfred Laird Chester Stonecypher Center End Tackle Quarter Back Guard Guard YELL LEADERS Donaldson Kistner Jio, W V £ V V v v 'd XJ J u SJ 3 fi V V xj w Xj St St BASKETBALL COUNTY CHAMPIONS ALMOST immediately after the close of the football season basketball practice was called. The pre-season dopesters prophesied a successful season as there were four lettermen and several other experienced piayers on the squad. After spending several weeks learning the fundamentals of the game, several practice games were scheduled with amateur teams from Marshfield and one with Arago High School. This enabled the team to strengthen the weak places and prepare for the opening of the season. Last year Coquille obtained the record of being a fighting team. This year that record was more than upheld. The fellows went into a game determined to win if it was humanly possible and they always did their best. This year’s team has left enviable records for fair play and sportsmanship. One thing that has heartened the teams a lot this year has been the splendid support of the students and townspeople. There were over nine hundred people at the Coquille-Arago game. The team has appreciated this support and the realization of the extra responsibility upon their shoulders has made them play that much harder. Those who played enough to receive their “C” were: Forwards, Wilson and Pulford, Captain-elect; Centers, Rice, Captain, and Simmons; Guards, Nosier and Laird; Hadley Curts and Royce Richmond completed the squad. Rice, Simmons, Nosier and Laird graduate this year but a very creditable showing is expected from next year’s team. The games were as follows: Marshfield vs. Coquille The Marshfield boys came expecting to make quick work of Coquille. They left with the short end of a 22-7 score. Inability of Marshfield to find the basket and the superior team-work of Coquille decided the game. Coquille vs. Myrtle Point Coquille went to Myrtle Point with the expectation of playing the hardest game of the season. Myrtle Point fought to the end but they were swamped with a 28-15 score. Coquille vs. Bandon Bandon held Coquille much closer than was expected in the first half but the boys opened up and the final score was 23-15. North Bend vs. Coquille This was the first game played in the new Community Building. It was a faster game than the score indicates, the score at the end of the final period was 20-9. j 'J Xj xj Xj S'J XJ M ' Y V1'' v XJ XJ V w J gAd , Sfc) ’V v L 'i ■ ' V J VJ M v 7 f COACH “BRICK” LESLIE 'S'-jp-fi Coquille vs. Marshfield Marshfield obtained the lead in the first quarter and it was not until the last quarter that Coquille managed to wrest the lead from them. However, in the final quarter Coquille’s superior shooting won the game 18-11. Arago vs. Coquille Neither Arago nor Coquille had been beaten before this game. Arago objected to any referee in the County so we obtained “Spec” Keene from 0. A. C. The game was rough but it kept the fans on their toes every minute. The score at the end of the game was 6-6. Tw; extra periods were needed before Coquille made another basket. The score at the end of this period was 8-6, making Coquille the only undefeated team in the league and giving them the undisputed leadership. Coquille vs. Myrtle Point Myrtle Point played hard but they were no match for Coqu.lle, The lead was never very seriously threatened at any time, the final score being 25-11. Coquille vs. North Bend As in football the game which was to decide whether Coqu.lle would be the County Champions was with North Bend. The game wa: close and rough but North Bend did not at any time gain the lead. After the smoke cleared the score was found to be 11-8.

This does not mean that there were no good shots on the team for Wilson, Pulford and Rice could always be depended upon for their share while Nosier and Laird often made almost impossible baskets, although their positions hindered this. Coquille had fewer points scored against her than than any team in the county. It is very exceptional for any team to play so many games with so few points scored against it. An almost unbreakable five-man defense was perfected which accounted for the small scores.

THE TOURNAMENT SPORTSMANSHIP CUP SOMETHING new in the line of athletics was introduced in this County this year. A county basketball tournament was held at Marshfield for the purpose of selecting the team to represent the county in the state meet at Salem. This tournament was held March 6 and 7, the eight teams of this district taking part. The coaches met the first morning and drew places for the first elimination. The first four games were played Friday morning and afternoon, the semi-finals Friday night and the finals Saturday night. The tournament was managed by a committee of Mr. Gilbreath, Mr. Cooper and Mr. Rhinesmith, principals of Marshfield, Arago and Ban-don high schools. Coaches, whose teams were not playing, acted as scorers and time-keepers. The committee engaged H. H. Turner of 0. A. C. to act as referee and his work was very satisfactory to everyone. Coquille had a hard schedule from the first drawing. We played Marshfield first, North Bend in the semi-finals and Arago in the finals. The game with Marshfield was very fast, being counted the best game played on The Armory floor during the season. Coquille held the lead until the last few minutes when Marshfield tied the score making the score at the end of the game 8-8. During the extra five minutes Coquille scored a field goal and a free throw while Marshfield scored a field goal. The game ended 11-10 in favor of Coquille. Our second game, with North Bend, was fast, but Coquille played Championship basketball and outplayed their opponents in all departments of the game. Not at any time did North Bend seriously threaten the lead. At the end of the game the score stood 21-5. In the finals Coquille played Arago who had come into the finals with wins over Myrtle Point and Bandon. Arago scored the first point but Coquille soon evened the score. It was anybody’s game until the final minute of play. Coquille was leading 11-10 when Arago’s lanky center received the ball and made a difficult side-shot which won the game for them. After the tournament Coquille was awarded the Sportsmanship Cup for the best sportsmanship displayed during the tournament. The award of this cup reflects much credit upon the members of the team and the coach. To win the County Championship, to come within one point of winning the county tournament and to be judged the cleanest playing team in the county is a record of which students and friends of Coquille High School are justly proud. Gji W a w W y y y y v y y y y y w G .V) 0jc) w a', V J Y TRACK «■ -tt SIMM ONS TRACK CAPT. TRACK has never been accorded the full support of the student body but last year under the capable coaching of R. E. McCormack, a former 0. A. C. distance man, a small but determined bunch of boys turned out for track. The events which Co-quille High School could take part in were necessarily limited but when the meet was held it was found that we could be represented in both the track and field events. The result was very satisfactory, Coquille scoring 21 points. Every man on the team placed in at least one event, something which is rather unusual. Simmons won first place in the mile, second in the half and third in the quarter, Finley placed second in both the javelin and shot-put, Sloan placed second in the discus throw and Laird and Johnson placed fourth in the mile and the half-mile respectively. A quarter-mile track, jumping and vaulting pits have been made on the field beside the school house this year. This is naturally a limited space but the trackmen are making the best of it. The team was hampered in the first few weeks of practice by sickness but as soon as possible practice was started in earnest. The competition for places was keen, especially for the middle distance events. We will be represented in almost every event and anybody that wins over Coquille’s team will have to fight for it. This year the prospects are bright for a championship track team. The Rev. M. F. Hill, a former University of Texas track man, has been secured as coach. Much enthusiasm has been aroused in the school and there is a good turnout for track practice and with the records of the football and basketball team to spur them on a championship team is a strong possibility. We are to have a good representation in both track and field events. The other teams have good reason to watch with anxiety the revival of interest in track in Coquille High. ' [r5 IE TTJ' VtD SLY V D RACTICE started early with a determined bunch of girls out for the V 1 team. The girls were hampered by lack of experience but everyone practiced consistently and the competition for places was keen. There was always a good representation out, there being enough for practice ev- v try night. The girls won four out of six games played, making a record for spirit and sportsmanship which is hard to equal. Kt; T My Coquille was unfortunate in having her first game with Myrtle Point whose team was made up of veteran players. The girls played hard V but they were beaten by a large score. Much experience was gained, however, which enabled the girls to make a very different showing in their later games. They played Bandon next. The game was very close. Each team held the lead at different times but the final score was 27-25 for Coquille. North Bend had a strong team but they were out-classed in every department of the game. North Bend’s forwards had little opportunity to shoot while Coquille dropped them in from almost every angle. The final score was 30-15. w yfy Bandon played us a return game but it was much different from the first one. Their forwards were unable to hit the basket when they did get a chance, w'hile Coquille’s forwards were shooting in splendid form. oAo jj V ' A . The guards kept the ball at Coquille’s end of the floor most of the time. The game ended 32-5. Myrtle Point came here February 20. The playing of our team had improved immensely but Myrtle Point won. The Coquille team held them down for the first three quarters but they ran up a large score in the final period. The Myrtle Point girls had reason to be surprised with the improvement in Coquille’s team. Myrtle Point won the championship for the third consecutive year. The last game of the season was played at North Bend. North Bend put up a better game than they had in their first game but they were out-classed 27-21. -tty Miss Ellis, with the assistance of Miss Atkinson, acted as coach and 7 much of the credit for the final standing of the team is due them. Katherine Peart, captain, played jumping center and she played ner position well. It is doubtful if there is a faster player in the county. She has two more years in High School. N ,1 Alice Collier, at forward, made many points, making some difficult baskets. She has two more years in High School. . i .V V w W h y« yj w V V w V, VJ V.; w YJ - Fern Houdyshell was a guard and several teams can blame their low score onto her. She was always fighting but she was also acknowledged as one of the fairest players in the county. Fern will also be here for two more years. This was Maxine Paulson’s first year on the team but she certainly made good. She accounted for many baskets and whether she was receiving or passing the ball she could always be depended upon. Marian Norton played her first year at guard but she played like a veteran. She played hard and she usually accounted for the ball. Wanda Houdyshell played running center and was a good running mate for Katherine. She demonstrated that a girl can display as much nerve as is usually credited only to boys. She has three years more to play. Frances Nosier, Fredah Baxter, Lulu Belle Rice, Margaret Beyers and Alice Oerding were the subs. Too much credit cannot be given them for they practiced faithfully and the team would have been considerably weakened without strong opposition. Maxine Paulson, Marian Norton and Margaret Beyers graduate this year but with the remaining players and substitutes the prospect for next year is very bright. The results of the games were as follows: Coquille - 7 Myrtle Point Coquille - 27 Bandon Coquille - 30 North Bend Coquille - 32 Bandon Coquille - 15 Myrtle Point Coquille - 27 North Bend Coquille - - 138 Opponents 42 25 15 5 40 21 148 Jl V V' a r V ’ Xij ,lv-5v SNft, €' C £• K1£ £ C C $ €: 3 ? 9 •? ‘FIFTY-FIFTY’ IT has been the custom in Coquille High School for the senior class to give a play before graduation. This year’s class chose “Fifty-Fifty” as the play to be presented. It was given on May 8 at the Liberty Theatre. Much credit for the success of the play was due to Miss Druley and Miss Ellis who directed it. Paul Green, played by Clare Lehmanowsky, is a struggling young author. After he sells his friend’s picture upside down he begins to write his stories backwards He is a wonder at making up stories to bring him and his pal notoriety and get them out of scrapes. Henry Brown, the pal of the author, portrayed by Allen Young, is a young painter. When he runs out of paint he uses furniture varnish and paints a mahogany sea. Because Paul has the suit of clothes on, he has to stay behind the screen while his pal sells his picture upside down for five hundred dollars. Sophie Bland, a dancer, is in love with Henry. She brings Mrs. Hawley to his studio and is partly responsible for the sale of Henry’s pic-v'j lure. This part was played very successfully by Lola Ball. ' • ’ YJ w V' Y J V-' May Dexter with whom Paul falls in love becomes a newspaper reporter. In the latter part of the play she assumes the disguise of an old maid to find out why the boys have told so many lies. Maxine Paulson took this part with great success. Marguerite Hersey as Mrs. Podge, the landlady, could not have fitted better in any other part. She did not believe that so many women should go to the artists’ studio, so Henry tells her Paul is a married man, which starts the trouble. May’s aunt, Mrs. Hawley, played by Iva Baker, is a collector of arts. By buying Henry’s picture she saves the boys from getting put out of their room. Josephine hears of Paul Green, the artist, and as her husband, whose name was also Green, has run away to sea, she thinks Paul is her husband. She comes to their home and tries to find him. Margaret Beyers took this part. Cap, Josephine’s husband, a regular old sea salt, finally turns up at the last minute and saves Paul from Josephine. This part was taken by Wilfred Laird. Smudge, a negro, got rather mixed up on large names but nevertheless was a good valet. Eugene Laird made a very good negro. Harry Varney, as O’Malley, had a regular Irish brogue and took his part well in the play. Every player took his or her part very successfully and each showed ability in taking part in a play. According to the townspeople’s comments, the Senior play grows better every year. W I “WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES” THIS play, which was given at the Liberty Theatre, December 18, was sponsored by the Junior Class and directed by Miss Nissen. The play proved to be a great success. Many thanks are due to Miss Nissen for the valuable time she spent in coaching the players. Jones is a traveling salesman, selling hymn books with playing cards as a side line. He comes to the small town where Professor Goodly lived and goes to the “Glove Contest,” to which the Professor has been persuaded to go, “in the interests of science,” by his “model” son-in-law-to-be, Richard Heatherly. The professor shouts so loudly the police break in; the professor and Richard climb through a window, slide down a drain pipe, and run home with Jones close behind him. They think it is the police after them so they proceed to hide when they get home and Jones walks in. After he finds them he has quite a time assuring them that he is not a detective. The professor’s brother, “The Bishop of Balarat,” is coming for a visit from Australia and intends to marry Mrs. Goodly’s sister, Miss Alvina Starlight, so has ordered a new suit of the “latest clerical cut” to be made and sent to the Goodly home. The maid, Helma, brings the clothes in just as the police come into the yard, so Jones, much to the dismay of Mr. Goodly, gets into the Bishop’s clothes and puts his in the piano for safekeeping. Jones acts the part of a bishop so well that everyone, police and all, are deceived. Jones sees the professor's ward, Cissy, and immdiately falls in love with her, but he dosn’t get to be with her very much because Alvina is at his heels continually. The professor doesn’t like the way matters stand but is helpless to remedy them. Mrs. Goodly is terribly worried about “poor Ebenezer” and thinks “his mind is wandering.” She endeavors to put him to bed but finally has to have Jones and the family help her, but nevertheless he appears on the scene in time to explain everything. The Bishop finally comes and after many escapades he and Alvina meet. Jones wins Cissy’s love and explains to Mrs. Goodly that he had long loved that young lady but has never had a chance to tell her of it, so in order to tell her he masqueraded as the professor’s brother whom he had heard was coming.

As this was the first time Coquille High had ever attempted anything of this kind much of the success was due to Miss Nissen’s valuable coaching. “The Gypsy Rover” is built around the character of Rob, later known as Sir Gilbert Howe, of English nobility. Rob is stolen when an infant, by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows to manhood among the gypsies believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. It happens one day, while riding with her fiance, Lord Craven, , Lady Constance Martendale is lost in the woods. They wander to the gypsy camp, where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven objects to Rob’s attitude, but in a comical scene with Marto and Sinfo he is made to tell Sir George, who comes in search of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her and they plan to elope, but are overhead by Craven, who informs Sir George, and plans are made to capture Rob. This is successfully accomplished and Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob has come into his estates, his identity Having been proved by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob and on his return to England, he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, “The good fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all, and our story, Constance, can end in the proper way, ‘They lived happily ever after’. ” v., The cast was: V VJ Rob ...

It is believed that by next year the personnel will be more complete and that bigger things may be expected. t w ¥ DEBATE ALTHOUGH there is no organization or literary society in the school, more students have shown interest and enthusiasm in debate this year than ever before. When the call for debate tryouts came, about torty responded and after a month of platform work the following students won the right to represent the school in the county debates. Negative: George Bellcni and Maxine Paulson. Affirmative: Eugene Laird and Myrtle Clayton. Clarence Barton acted as alternate. George Belloni, who debated last year was the only veteran on the squad. A great deal of help was given by the coach, Miss Gertrude Ellis, who was a member of the 0. A. C. Varsity debating squad for two years. Much credit must be given Miss Ellis for her work in developing material for future teams. The question for the Coos County Debating League was: Resolved, That a Severance Tax should be made a feature of the system of taxation in Oregon. The subject of timber taxation is of especial interest in this county because one of the most important industries is lumbering. The debate was held February 13, with North Bend’s negative team coming to Coquille and Coquille’s negative team going to Bandon. Our negative team won by a two to one vote but our affirmative team lost by a vote of two to one. All of the debaters are graduating but there is lots of material and Coquille should have a good debate team next year. V ,4 f ifi xJ x f X t $4 Xfj L V V y, w J d 'iV S'J 'aV ORATORY ANI) DECLAMATORY THE real purpose of the oratory and declamatory contest is to further the art of public speaking among the high school students. There is no better way to gain self-confidence than by addressing a large body of people. By this experience one loses the consciousness of self and learns to talk with proper freedom and enunciation. The interest shown by the students of the high school this year along these lines was remarkable, and the defeat of last year, instead of discouraging the members of the school and the contestants, had acted as an incentive and has given us a further determination to win the contest this year. The girls who tried out and the declamations they gave are as follows: Seniors: Marguerite Hersey, “The Arena Scene from Quo Vadis.’’ Lena Pinkston, “How the Church Was Built at Kehoe’s Bar.” Myrtle Clayton, “Engineer Conner’s Son.” Juniors: Ruth Philpott, “Connor.” Velma Gheer, “The Second Trial.” Bernice Alpine, “An Easter with Parepa.” Sophomore: Fern Houdyshell, “Connor.” Those trying out for oratory and the orations they gave were: Seniors: Lewis Donaldson, “The Return of Regulus.” Gordon Epps, “Supposed Speech of John Adams.” Juniors: LeNorme Pownder, “I Am an American.” Freshmen: Clarence Barton, “Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address.” James Galbraith, “I Am an American.” Billie King, “The Liberty Bell.” Miss Wilson, our oratory and declamatory coach, had planned for us to have the class tryouts and then only one representative from each class should try out before the student body, but because of sickness the class tryouts were not held and all of the contestants tried out before the student body. The speeches were judged by Mr. Cramer, Miss Ellis and Miss Atkinson. Three places were made in each division. In the declamations Lena Pinkston won first place; Marguerite Hersey, second, and Bernice Alpine third. Those who placed in oratory were: First, Lewis Donaldson; second, James Galbraith, and Clarence Barton, third. The judges had much difficulty making their decisions as all of the contestants had spent much time in preparation for the contest. Lewis and Lena have both represented the school in the county contest before and much is expected from them. It is not often that so much interest is displayed in a school of this size in declamation and oratory so Coquille High should feel proud of the showing made this year. Both of those selected graduate, but there is enough talent in the lower classes to warrant a prediction that we will be well represented in both oratory and declamation next year. y{ V. -I I .1 v VT. i J Y- La a aL aT(Ag 3. •fjjggg C- ft ft w v i • ‘ 9 • • v? • ■ ; FRESHMAN RECEPTION V _ • 0 A freshman reception which was the first social event of the new school year, was given by the student body on September 25 in the gymnasium of the high school building. The reception was in the form of an “Old Clothes” party, so everyone came adorned in old, discarded clothes. The party was exceptionally lively as the entertainment committee had planned many games and other forms of amusement. Later in the evening dancing was enjoyed. The music was furnished by the Pied Pipers Orchestra. Dainty refreshments were served in the domestic science room before the hour of departure arrived. FOOTBALL BANQUETS yj i w w VJ J Vj V w w w J v] J The County Champion Football squad and their coach, Keith Leslie, were honored with a banquet on November 18, given by Alice Collier and Maxine Paulson, with the assistance of Mrs. J. E. Paulson and Mrs. Viola Collier, at the residence of the latter. The banquet table was artistically decorated in the high school colors, red and white. The centerpiece consisted of a football tied with red and white ribbon. Clever miniature leather footballs were the favors at each cover. After the delicious dinner was served, the guests adjourned to the ball room which was also decorated in the same colors. Streamers from the center of the ceiling were draped to the walls, forming a false ceiling, while green foliage covered the walls. Friends of the boys had been invited, so when they arrived the evening was spent in dancing. The football team and coach, Keith Leslie, were the honor guests at a banquet on November 29, at the residence of E. E. Johnson, given by Mrs. E. E. Johnson, Mrs. R. R. Watson, Mrs. Joe Laird and Mrs. Ralph Nosier. A football with red and white streamers formed the centerpiece of the prettily decorated table. Others who were present at the banquet were Frank Leslie, R. R. Watson, Joe Laird, Dr. Earl Low, Philip Johnson, E. E. Johnson, Don Pierce and Ralph Nosier. Later in the evening the guests were invited to the Knights of Pythias Club Rooms for a dancing party to which the high school students and many outside guests were invited. PIG ROAST On December 13, the high school boys entertained their friends of the fairer sex with a pig roast at the W. 0. W. Hall. The pigs had been caught in the greased-pig contests held during the Corn Show. However, the pigs didn’t taste any the worse for the contest, even though half the boys in high school slid off their backs. After the dinner the crowd adjourned to the Masonic Hall where the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. v T i 'b .. V ■ V ' ' - 0f9 V G 9 ‘C” CLUB INITIATION ANI) DANCE The “C” Club initiation was held on the evening of December 19 at the Masonic Hall. This formal admission brought into the club the boys who had won their first letter in athletics. Much fun was had at the expense of the new members who were badly scared but managed to survive the effects. After the initiation ceremonies, a dance was given for the new members. Music was donated by the Wampus Cat Strollers and everyone agreed that it was a very pretty affair. SENIOR BALL On March 9, the Class of ’25 gave a Senior Ball which was the first one given in the history of the high school. The event took place in Graham’s Hall, which was elaborately decorated in the school colors. Red and , white “C’s” and streamers hung from the ceiling giving a very pretty effect. The sides of the dance floor were also draped with the red and white streamers, forming archways to the floor. One section of the spectator space was furnished with comfortable chairs, rugs and bridge lamps to be used by the patrons and patronesses who were: Messrs, and Mesdames ; E. E. Johnson, J. E. Paulson. R. R. Watson, R. E. Nosier, A. T. Morrison. H. A. Young, M. J. Hartson. G. E. Low and J. L. Laird. The Grand March was led by the president of the class, Lewis Donaldson, and Eleanore Wilson, during which Margaret Paulson and Billy King gave out the dance , programs. The “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” a very pleasing feature, was much enjoyed. Eleanor Folsom, Phyllis McCurdy, and Orpha Burket, charming girls of the lower classes, who were dressed to represent ballel dancers, presided at the punch bowls. The Butterfly Gardens Orchestra furnished the music. COUNTRY FAIR 6TO w w d Xd A Country Fair was given for the first time by the high school on March 20 of last year. The object of it was to make money for the Laurel v , as well as to provide entertainment. The gymnasium, halls, and rooms v , in the basement were transformed into many interesting places of en-v , lertainment, of which, there were Cabarets, a Den of Horrors, a Japanese Tea Garden, games of chance, Days of ’49 and many other things. The v ‘ north part of the gymnasium was set off for a dance floor, where dancing was enjoyed later in the evening. Each class and organization in the school assists in putting on this fair which is to be an annual event and which is an enjoyable as well as a money making proposition. Last year ''•J the Country Fair was considered a great success as the building was J crowded with people from this community and from other towns in the ' Y county.

V, V J TV T’ §jt g ‘ 9 ? ‘ ‘ y. v v LITERARY FIRST PRIZE A TIP OFF A man and his wife recently attended a basket ball game. As women are apt to be, she was more interested in other affairs than the game. She kept asking various questions concerning other things, while her husband was talking about the game, and as women are likely to do. she thought he was answering her questions. The conversation was similar to this: “Say, dear, where did Jonses move?” that was her first inquiry. “Out opposite Nosier,” he replied. “Why, they did not move there. By the way, what do you think of their new chauffeur?” “He’s rotten!” he exclaimed as a player fumbled the ball. “Oh, I don’t know as he’s so bad.” As women are likely to do, she next turned to the subject of science, “Is a giraffe an animal or a-------” She was cut short by her better-half who said, “No, a foul, you bloomin’ idiot,” as the referee called a jump ball. “Oh, John, how can you say such things to me I shouldn’t live with such a man. I often wonder which has the more sense, me or a guinea pig?” Still interested in the game he remarked, “It’s a toss-up.” “You miserable wretch, I’d like to go home. How am I to get off these horrible benches?” “Jump, you big bum!” he replied as a North Bend player got the tip-off. By this time her ire had risen to 212 degree F., and she retorted, “When I get you home I’ll make you swallow your very words. I’d like to know what I could do to myself that I might not bother you longer.” “Shoot, yourself!” he shouted as a player passed the ball to another to shoot. Then the game ended, as ball games do, and the poor abused hubby is still wondering why he had to cook his own breakfest on the following morning. Clarence Bean SPRING FANCIES TO do it,—or not to do it. How could he decide, when he wanted to, but didn’t really want to? How did other boys get up the courage, anyway? He just knew he was as nervy as Jo and Tom. But was he? They had taken girls to the last two parties given in the gang. They had taken their girls home, the longest way ’round too, and hadn’t got home until almost % 0(9 w v! V j V w V y j j j i y gIo GT3 twelve o’clock! He just wished he had courage enough to do it. But what would he say to her, and ’sposin’ she said no? He just knew he’d never want to look anyone in the face again, let alone Jo and Tom. But they’d never give him any peace until he did—anyway, they crowed over him all the time,—thought they were so smart! He’d just show them—bet he could be so slow taking Helen home that he wouldn’t get home ’til after twelve o’clock! The debate going on in thirteen-year-old Dick’s mind made him think of the conversation between the Mad-hatter and the Hare, in “Alice in Wonderland,” and would have been just about as unintelligible to another person, especially if that person had forgotten the first time he ever thought of escorting a girl to a party. The girl in question was Helen Jones, the only girl he knew who could fish, and wasn’t afraid to put the angle-worms on her own hook. She was a real girl,—she could make the best fudge, and she knew more string-tricks than he did! Dick grew alternately more determined to ask Helen, as he thought of what Jo and Tom would think, and more determined not to when he thought of facing her, and what he’d have to say. A sweat appeared on his forehead from such earnest thought, and he muttered to himself, “What would I say to her, even if I thought she’d go? Anyway, she might want to go with that new Smith guy, who can tango. He’s kinda’ hung around her lately. Well, if she wants any old sissy like that she can have him! She can go fishin’ alone after this!” Dick’s face settled into a melancholy frown, as he thought of himself in the light of the abused hero, but he found the expression rather hard to keep while brushing his teeth. “What in the world are you so long about, Dick Stone? You hurry right down here or you’ll be late!” Dick ran downstairs, hastily gulped his cereal, and ran out the door, munching toast. “Hey, Dick—wait a second!” called Helen from down the street. Dick looked around for some place to throw his toast as Helen came running up, and desperately crammed it in his pocket. He grew more and more embarrassed as he tried to think of something to say to her. He’d never felt this way with her before he’d thought of taking her to the party. Why couldn’t he think of something to say! He sure was a coward. “Goin’ to the party tonight?” at last Helen queried. “Yeh, are you?” “Oh, 'spose so. Jo and Tom’s takin’ Emma and May again. Emma’n May sure do act silly, don’tcha’ think?” “Yeh, so do Jo and Tom. Who’re you goin’ with?”—Dick tried to make his question sound nonchalant—as if Helen went escorted to every party. “Why, nobody’t I know of. I don’t go with any of those boys like Jo and Tom. They’re too silly. Who’d you think I’d go with?” Dick thought she must surely hear his thumping heart, and finally % i Jso 6Tc) W' 613 'JV blurted out, “Oh, thought maybe you’d go with that new Smith guy. He knows the tango and says he can dance so good.” “Me?—go with that big sissy? Why, he can’t even swim! He sure is stuck-up, especially about his dancin’. You’d think he was the Prince of Wales when he asks you to dance. Why, you can dance lots better’n him. Didn’t we have fun last night over on your porch, tryin’ to learn that new fox-trot by radio ?” “Did we! I’ll say we did! Say, d’ya think we got that good enough to do it at the party ? And say, ya’ don’t need to have your dad come after you tonight—I’ll see’t you get home all right. Maybe I’d better stop by for you, so’t it would look better. You aren’t silly like Emma’n May— boys sure do appreciate girls that aren’t silly. Anyway, you live right on my way.” “Sure, that will be fine,” agreed Helen, a queer little satisfied gleam in her eyes. That night, as Dick was dressing for the party, his head was awhiri with a mixture of thoughts and emotions. “Gee, she was just peachy about it—she’d rather dance with mo than Sissy Smith,—I’d better tell Ma to leave the door unlocked,—’course Helen won’t expect me to act silly,—I wonder if I’m ’sposed to help her with her wraps at Jones’s,—have to ask Ma—Ma said the boy should take the girl’s arm to help her on and off the sidewalk—I counted fourteen places between here and Jones’s where I can,—where I need to help her. I hope she won’t think I’m silly or tryin’ to act smart—she sure was nic.' when I asked her—Gee—why—I never asked her! I just told her I’d take her! Gee! I hope,—what’ll she think! ! ! Aw, Gee!” jt jt j t WILLIE TAKES CARE OF THE BABY “ wlu- ILLIE,” called Mrs. Brown, “Willie!” ‘Yes Ma,” answered Willie, who had nearly escaped through the loose board in the high fence which separated the Brown yard from an alley. “Willie, come home this instant,” said Mrs. Brown in a threatening voice. ‘Yes, Ma,” answered Willie, noting the tone. “Willie,” said Mrs. Brown, when Willie arrived expectantly upon the porch, “I want you to take care of the baby. Mrs. Maybury and I are going out to a Ladies Aid tea.” “But Ma, I-----,” moaned Willie. “Not a word, Willie. You want to go to the Circus next week, don’t you?” The Circus was a much talked of thing among the younger set. It neld its allurements promoted by the gaudy signs pasted in various parts of town. “Yeah, I’ll keep it,” grumbled Willie. “Be very careful with Baby and don’t take him out of the house,” cautioned Mrs. Brown as a parting word. LAO jrS V r w y Willie moved a chair directly in front of the sleeping infant and sat watching it for nearly ten minutes, then his eyes wandered out the window where his chums were playing with a newly acquired football. “Aw, Shux,” grunted Willie as he went to the door. On a second y thought he retraced his steps, threw the blanket over Baby’s face and pushed the carriage very quietly outside. “Sissy,” jeered one of the boys but he was qhieted by a remembrance of the time when he had to keep the baby. Soon Willie was engaged in a delightful game of rough and tumble. Baby in the meantime, becoming overheated with the blanket about its lace, awoke and started crying, but finding no attention was paid to his outburst of tears, he crawled up to the end of the carriage and fell out. His first encounter was a mud puddle some six feet in length and not more than two inches deep. Baby, who was just learning the art of walking, was still a bit wabbly upon his feet. Therefore when he stepped on a slippery place he fell into the water, getting himself uncomfortably wet. This started a new gush of tears and Willie, who stood above the Others giving signals, spied Baby in the center of the puddle attempting to rise to his feet again. He made a wild dash and rescued the soaked infant. He was in utter despair for he was unable to decide what to do with the baby. He appealed to his comrades. They were unable to help him until some one had a happy thought. “Wash him,” cried little Jimmy Jump, who had just joined the party, arriving from a thorough scouring in time to enter the discussion. “Yes,” they all agreed with him and the whole troup entered the house and were attempting to find a way in which they could all help. At last it was decided that each one could wash one piece of Baby’s clothing. Willie got into his mother’s cupboard and distributed pans among the boys. Such a time as followed! Soapsuds all over the house and water over the greater part of it. The rescue party finally ended by Willie throwing his pan of water upon little Jimmie Jump for calling him a pig because he had Baby’s rompers to wash and little Jimmie had only one sock. Since Willie was the host his friends followed his example, throwing and splashing water until Mrs. Brown came home and found the kitchen in a terrible condition, while Baby lay comfortably sleeping worn out from his exertions in the mud puddle. She sent the frightened boys home. That night Willie and his father held a session in the woodshed. (When a fellow needs a friend.) Alice Collier Miss Wilson was having her Freshman English class keep a diary for a week. One bright boy wrote: “Got up at seven. Went to bed at eight.” Miss Wilson suggested that “Rose at seven” would sound better, would, in fact, “be quite elegant.” So the freshman erased the entry and briefly chronicled: “Rose at seven. Set at eight.” V i W L. ■ £ €• £• g 6 £ £ C- -3 g o • ; Gp w SCHOLARSHIP CUPS EACH year at graduation time the scholarship cups are presented to the members of the graduating class who have achieved highest distinction during the last two years of their high school career. The cups are presented to the boy and girl whose grades and conduct has averaged above ninety during their junior and senior years and have taken an active part in school activities. The Alete Ahlson cup is presented to the girl and the Mildred Parr cup to the boy. The requirements for the two cups are the same. Any student that is presented with one of these cups has received the greatest honor the Coquille High School can bestow on anyone. These cups were first presented to Miss Delia Sherwood and Mr Ralph Harry of the graduating class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three. The following year these cups were won by Miss Clarabelle Min-tonye and Mr. Errol Sloan. It might be well for the Freshmen and Sophomores to begin thinking about these cups now, because what you do in your beginning years counts a lot on your last two years.
