If it does this, we feel that we have succeeded, and that our labor has not been in vain. THE STAFF J. F.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY IN the fall of 1922, Coquille High School was infested by a new pest, for at that time there entered our school, fifty-four freshies who looked very green but who were really very intelligent, as they soon proved to the rest of the school. As freshies we did not participate in very many of the activities of the school although we had one or two boys who were subs on the football and basket ball teams. In our sophomore year our number had decreased to forty-two but those who were left were very ambitious and did quite a bit to improve the school. That year we had five members on the football team and two members on the basket ball team. Five girls represented our class in the glee club and four were in the orchestra. There were several social functions during this year which our class headed. As juniors we distinguished ourselves by our many wonderful deeds. We had three lettermen on the championship football squad; namely, Wayne Robinson, Zed Finley, and Lester Wilson. In basket ball we had two lettermen on the championship squad—Lester Wilson and Arthur Pulford. In the girl’s glee club we were represented by: Bernice Alpine, Garnet Steward, Clara Brockman, Alma Oden, Eleanore Wilson. Gladys Culbertson, and Velma Gheer; in the boys’ glee club by: Wayne Robinson, Lester Wilson, Ross Kistner, Zed Finley, Rupert Pownder, Le-Norme Pownder, Robert Cotton, and Rolen Musgrove. Rolen and Marian Musgrove were also in the orchestra. “What Happened to Jones,” the play which the juniors put on, was met with a full house and no complaints were heard about it. In our senior year we were well represented in all the activities of the school. Several of our members were student body officers, namely: Wayne Robinson, president; Eleanore Wilson, secretary; Rupert Pownder, “Laurel” editor; Lester Wilson, business manager; Herman Floten, treas- :ommittee; Clar- n, Captain; Ru-binson, Herman ro stars—Arthur Id our honor in larold Simmons, rman Floten. jry good singers. .

Probably some of the students have not realized what an important part the class has played in school activities. Nevertheless when we have passed on from the school, they will realize that we have done a great deal; as we were represented in most all of the activities. The Junior play, “All-of-a-Sudden-Peggy,” was a tremendous success, and the class can justly claim to have some stars of dramatic ability. The boys who represented the class in basket ball were: Royce Richmond, James Agostine, Hadley Curts, and Edward Johnson. The first three were successful in making their letters. Royce Richmond and Hadley Curts were football lettermen this season and James Agostine and Harry Mast also played. The Juniors had only one member on the girls’ basket ball team, namely Alice Collier. But they are proud to say that she was one of the star players. They also did their part in the glee clubs as they were represented by Blanche Jorgenson, Fern Houdyshell, Marvin Jane Hawkins, Jean Young, Ruth Schroeder, Alta Belle Elwood, Thelma Pullen, Opal Gaslin, and Alice Collier. Those in the Boys’ Glee Club were: Hadley Curts, Royce Richmond, Edward Johnson, and Lawrence Cadle, all of whom were in the operetta cast, “Freshies.” Last year they were represented in the orchestra by Edward John- Marvin Jane Hawkins Royce Richmond Fern Houdyshell Edward Johnson James Agostine Clare Bean Harvey Benham Hadley Curts A ice Collier Lawrence Cadle Alta Belle Elwood Mary Goodrich Opal Gaslin Lloyd Hickam Thelma Pullen Beryl Hopton Paul Rietman Mearle Howe Ruth Schroeder Blanche Jorgenson Jean Young son and Irmen Kime who are back again this year. As a new member, Marvin Jane Hawkins, has been added as accompanist for the club. The new scholastic organization, the “Torch Honor Society,” claims several Juniors. Those who belong to the society are: Fern Houdyshell, Alta Bella Elwood, Harry Mast, Edward Johnson, Jean Young, and Marvin Jane Hawkins. Several members of the class were on the “High Times” staff. They were: Beryl Hopton, Edward Johnson, Fern Houdyshell, Alice Collier, Jean Young, and Marvin Jane Hawkins. Some of these were also on the “Laurel” staff. As Clarence Bean is graduating this year, it was necessary for him to resign his position as class president at mid-year. Marvin Jane Hawkins was elected to that position for the rest of the term. Those who have perhaps done most to make a good record for the class were the officers, who were: President, Marvin Jane Hawkins; Vice President, Edward Johnson; Secretary, Fern Houdyshell; Treasurer, Clare Bean. Last but far from being the least important is the class adviser, Miss Roeder, who was always ready to give help and encouragement. James Agostine: “Bet I know where you got that necktie.” Kenny Simmons: “Where?” James Agostine: “Around your neck.” Said the ink to the paper: “You’re vulgar and tough; Your lines aren’t graceful; your edges are rough.” The paper said: “Why do you cling to me then? Your record is black, you’re just out of the pen.” That’s write. ■« “Pm afraid I can’t sell poison without medical authority.” “Why? Do I look like a man who would kill himself?” “I don’t know, but if I looked like you I might be tempted.” Wanda: “I can’t understand why you stayed outside so long with such a good dancer as Ross.” Marvin Jane: “But he showed me some new steps and we sat on them.” ■v Hadley: “Ma! Will the Ten Commandments hurt anyone?” Mother: “Certainly not, my son.” Hadley: “Well, that’s all right then, baby just swallowed a page of the Bible.” Fredah Baxter Phyllis McCurdy Orpha Burket Mildred Chapin Wanda Houdyshell SOPHOMORE HISTORY AT the beginning of the year our class met together and elected officers as follows. Fredah Baxter ------- President Phyllis McCurdy........................Vice President Orpha Burket...........................Secretary Mildred Chapin.........................Treasurer Wanda Houdyshell - Executive Representative Billy King..............................Sergeant-at-Arms The Sophomore class has played an important part during the past year in all school activities. On the football team, Harlo Call, Chester Stonecypher, Haldane Holmstrom, Kenneth Hansen, and Victor Harper represented us. Harlo Call and Chester Stonecypher were two year men while Harlo Call made the all star team. Kenneth Hansen and Victor Harper also did their part toward helping Coquille fight and win. Harlo Call who was the mainstay on defense made his letter in basket ball also. In girls’ basket ball, Katherine Peart, who was captain of the team, Alice Fish, Wanda Houdyshell, Orpha Burket, and Mildred Chapin helped Coquille win the County Championship. Clarence Barton and Billy King upheld Coquille in debate. In the newly organized Torch Society, more than half the members are from the Sophomore class. Those holding the two-bar pin are: Clarence Barton, Bernice Foley, Verna Harrold, and Phyllis McCurdy. Those holding the one-bar pin are: Orpha Burket, Kenneth Hansen, Haldane Holmstrom, Elizabeth Mintonye and Josephine Terres. Our class was well represented in the musical organizations of the school. Those belonging to the girl’s glee club were: Alice Fish, MilJreJ Chapin, Rosalie Peart, Wanda Houdyshell, Orpha Burket, Josephine Terres, and Phyllis McCurdy. In the boys’ glee club Clarence Barton and Harlo Call represented us and Orpha Burket was pianist. Alice Fish and Phyllis McCurdy both played in the orchestra. In the future we expect to make our class the biggest and best Coquille has ever had. Come on Class of ’28.

From the beginning; fall of ’25 Every member has been alive. On the very first day to the school-house door The Freshman came, forty-five or more. Since mid-term we have added twelve In the book of knowledge deep to delve. The Sophomores think we’re very green But just you wait until it’s seen, How much we do for Coquille High For we are here to do or die! Mac, the yell king, leads the crowd While George in football makes us proud. In basket ball our girls are starred For Marguerite’s a very good guard; While Frances, Eleanor, Doris, and Lois In athletics really show us That Freshmen girls will do their part And enter the contest with all their heart. We played our part in every inter-class game And won class numeral rewards for fame. We planted a tree on the bare school ground; In future years praise shall resound From those who bless us for its shade And for the added beauty it has made. We gave a party—February seventeen. The jolliest one you’ve ever seen, To entertain our mid-year members Our “eats” and games we shall always remember. But this is not all that we do For in orchestra and glee clubs too We measure up quite well with you. Now you may think this all a boast But we prefer to call it a toast To the best class yet; class of ’29, May her honor and glory ever shine. But may we never forget to cry Our praise and love for Coquille High. ■8? 8? Marjorie H.: “Have you a sweetheart?” Pearl G.: “I don’t know, I never tasted it.” 8?

ALTHOUGH Coach “Brick” Leslie had a very small squad from which to make a team this year he developed one that was known and respected all over the county for its fight. There were seven lettermen back from last year to use as a nucleus for the eleven. There were Call. Richmond, Stonecypher, Curts, Finley, Robinson, and Wilson. The smallness of the squad, which numbered only twenty at the most, combined with injuries and sickness made it difficult for the coach. The team won only two out of the seven games played, but made more yardage than their opponents in every game, but could not get the punch to put the ball over the last white line. The Games We started the season out with a green team playing at Myrtle Point. The experience of the veteran opponents told and we were defeated 22-0. The next game was played with Bandon on our home field, and determined to make good, the team overwhelmed our visitors 16-0. Selkirk, end for Bandon, proved at all times a dangerous opponent and had to be watched; consequently he did not get away with many of the passes he caught. The week after this victory we played Marshfield on the home field. We were outweighed ten to fifteen pounds, but made up in fight this lack of weight and held them to a 6-3 score. By a lucky break in the second quarter Crewe, halfback of the visitors’ team, intercepted a short pass and ran forty yards for a touchdown for their only score. Wilson, captain, made our score in the same quarter by kicking a field goal. During the week of practice after this game, Pownder, end. was injured and was unable to play in the next game played with North Bend at home. Call, halfback, was taken out at the end of the first half on account of a dislocated shoulder bone. This game was one of the most exciting in the county this year. Both teams fought hard for three quarters, each carrying the ball up and down the field but lacking the punch to put it over for a touchdown. In the third quarter Wilson kicked a field goal which was the only score. The game ended 3-0 in our favor. The following week both Call and Pownder were still out of the line-up and we were again defeated by Myrtle Point. In the first nuarter the Myrtle Point eleven ran up a score of nineteen points. The home eleven seemed to have lost all its fight and the Myrtle Point backs made yardage almost at will. After the first quarter Coquille woke up and not only held the visitors, but also, scored two touchdowns. This showed that although overwhelmed by a large score the fighting Coquille eleven could come back and put up a good fight to win. The game ended with the score 12-19 in favor of the visitors. After a rest of two weeks we played the return game with North Bend with a complete regular line-up. Both teams were out to get the laurels, but especially North Bend whom we had defeated in our first game. Coquille adopted the aerial method of attack and while attempting a pass a North Bend half intercepted it and ran to the six yard line before being overtaken and downed by Wilson. The ball was soon bucked over for a touchdown by the Bay team. Wilson kicked a field goal in the last quarter, but the team could not get enough punch to overcome the lead of North Bend. This game ended 14-10 in favor of North Bend. On Thanksgiving Day the squad went to Marshfield to try to beat the county champions in their last game of the season. Coquille made the first touchdown in the second quarter and the score was tied 6-6 at the end of the half. In the last half the Red and White tried to make yardage by passes, but the halfbacks and ends were too closely guarded and more ground was lost than gained by this method. A safety and a touchdown by Marshfield put them so far in the lead that although the boys fought hard they could not win. The game ended 14-6 in favor of Marshfield. Seven regulars, Wilson, Finley, Robinson, Seeley, Floten, Pownder, and Pulford will graduate this year. This is a heavy loss, but some good material has been developed in the “subs” to replace them. Four members of the team were placed on the first and second mythical all-county elevens. Wilson, halfback, and Finley, tackle, made the first team, and Call, halfback, and Seeley, guard, made the second team.

BASKETBALL COACH “Brick” Leslie is to be complimented very much on the team he turned out this year. Although the squad was small and only two lettermen were back, he turned out a team that beat the county champions. Although beaten in their first game by Marshfield 19-7, the boys came back and won all the rest of their games except one, which was played with Bandon. All their games were close, although at times they would run up a large score. In several games the substitutes played most of the time. After losing their first game the “Red Devils” easily won their next two from Myrtle Point and Riverton, respectively. The next game with North Bend was very close but Coquille emerged on the long end of a 17-15 score. The night after playing this game they defeated Powers 25-5. The team tasted defeat in their next game with Bandon. No one seemed able to hit the basket although they shot time after time. Bandon won by a score of 17-19. They went to North Bend for their next game and completely outclassed them 27-13. Out for revenge the squad went to Bandon the following week, and after an exciting game defeated them 27-13. Coos River was barely nosed out in a fast game by a last BASKET BALL SQUAD minute spurt 20-17 in the next game. Our second game with Myrtle Point proved to be one of the hardest fought of the season. Coquille was behind 7-2 at the end of the first half but rallied in the last half and succeeded in defeating Myrtle Point 22-15. Our last game of the season was played before a large crowd with Marshfield at home. It was very close and many fouls were called. The score see-sawed back and forth throughout the game. With a few seconds left to play, Curts dropped the ball through the basket for the winning points. The score at the end was 14-16. A summary of the number of points made by Coquille and her opponents is as follows: Coquille 7 Marshfield - 10 Coquille 38 Myrtle Point - 17 Coquille 39 Riverton - 10 Coquille 17 North Bend - 15 Coquille 25 Powers - 5 Coquille 17 Bandon - 19 Coquille 27 North Bend - 13 Coquille 27 Bandon - 13 Coquille 20 Coos River - 17 Coquille 22 Myrtle Point - 15 Coquille 16 Marshfield - 14 This large score 255 of points 145 against those of their opponents really demonstrates what the Coquille boys did. The standing of the teams in the county at the end of the season is as follows: Team Won Lost Pet. Marshfield - 10 2 .833 Coquille - 9 2 .818 Arago - 6 2 .750 Bandon - 7 5 .581 North Bend - 6 5 .545 Myrtle Point - 4 7 .364 Powers - 3 7 .300 Coos River - 3 7 .200 Riverton - 0 10 .000 This shows that if Coquille had played her full schedule and won the other game, she would have tied Marshfield for first place. Due to a question of inelegibility of two of Arago’s players Coquille’s game with them was cancelled and we were unable to schedule another game at a suitable time. AG0ST1NG GUARD GAPT ELECT COACH “BRICK” LESLIE For the last two years a tournament has been held at the Armory in Marshfield to decide which team to send to Salem to represent the county in the state tournament. Coquille drew Marshfield on the first day. The game was very fast and rough in spots. The score was tied at the end of the game 14-14. An extra three minute overtime period was played, and Marshfield succeeded in getting one more basket and won the game 14-16. Marshfield won the tournament easily after this game. Every year there is an All-Star team picked from the county teams. This year an All-Star tournament team was also picked. Four of the members of the Coquille quintet succeeded in getting on one of them. Wilson, forward; Pulford, forward; Curts, center; and Agostine, guard; made the teams. Coquille will lose three men this year. Wilson and Pulford, forwards, will graduate, and Curts, center, has already played his four years. GIRLS BASKETBALL V COUNTY CHAMPIONS THE basket ball season started with a bang. There were more girls out this year than ever before and more interest was taken. The girls were an undefeated team this year which is something no other girls’ team in the history of Coquille High can say. They played five league games, three games that were scheduled after the boys’ games were over, and one preliminary game. In only one of these games was the score tied. Much of the credit of the girls’ success was due to Miss Roseman, their coach. As has happened in several previous years Coquille played the first game with Myrtle Point, but this year the score was a good deal different from those of previous years. The girls defeated the Myrtle Point girls with a score of 26-33 in a fast snappy game. This was the first time in three years that Myrtle Point team has been defeated. The Coquille girls played their second league game with Riverton. This was rather slow but the Riverton girls were good sports and were good losers. The game ended with a score of 29-8 in Coquille’s favor. The third game was played with North Bend at the armory. It was fast and interesting with a final score of 23-7 in Coquille’s favor. On account of the girls’ game with Bandon being called off, Coquille played her fourth league game with North Bend on the home floor. The outcome looked rather dark for Coquille at the half, the score being 11-14 in North Bend’s favor. However, in the last half the girls “snapped out of it,” and at the final whistle the score was 31-20 in favor of Coquille. The last league game was played at Myrtle Point with a final score of 30-15 which made the Coquille girls Champions of Coos County. The Coquille girls ran up against the best team they encountered all season when they played Reedsport on the home floor March 8. It was “a real ball game,” hard fought and fast, with a score of 22-22. This game was to decide the championship of Southwestern Oregon, between two undefeated teams and was nearly decided in Coquille’s favor as the whistle blew a fraction of a second before the ball left the hands of Alice Collier who shot a long basket, which could not be counted. Katherine Peart—Jumping Center and Forward Katherine was captain again this year and she effectively held down her position. Although she is much shorter than most of the centers in the county, none of them could out-jump her and she was considered one of the fastest centers in the league. Katherine has won her letter for three consecutive years and she still has one other year to play. Wanda Houdyshell—Running Center Wanda sure kept her opponents guessing. She went into every game with the determination that it takes to win. Although Wanda spent most of her time on the floor, she always came out with the ball. She has won her letter two years and has two more years to play. Alice Collier—Forward Alice had a faculty for dropping in long shots almost continually all through a game. She always played perfect team work. Alice has won a letter for three years and still has one more year to play. Alice Fish—Forward This is Alice’s first year at Coquille, although she has played several years at Bridge. Alice was a very good player and she had the ability to arch a ball in the basket almost at will. Alice won her letter this year and will be back two more years. Marguerite Agostino—Guard Marguerite is noted for her stone-wall proclivities. She effectively held down her position and it was almost impossible for her opponent to get near the basket. This is Marguerite’s first year in High so she will have a chance to win three more letters. Beryl Fish—Guard Beryl played a fast game at guard and although she was small, she kept a good forward working throughout the game. This is Beryl’s first year at Coquille and as she is graduating she can win only one letter. Orpha Burket—Substitute Center Orpha is certainly as “fast as they make ’em.” She filled the position of center very effectively whenever it was necessary. Orpha won her letter this year and has two more years in which to win letters. TRACK n LAST year the team that went to Myrtle Point made a total of twenty-one points. Rev. M. F. Hill, a former University of Texas track man, coached the team. He was assisted by “Slats” Gant with the jumping recruits. The prospects were very good for placing in the meet, but most of the members of the squad were taken sick one or two weeks before so that none of them showed up in their best form. Harold Simmons, captain, set a new county record for the half mile by running it in two minutes and nine seconds. This was the most exciting race of the day for he beat Mast of Myrtle Point only about two feet at the finish. He also ran a good race in the mile although he had very little competition, coming in about a hundred yards before the other contestants. Gene Laird beat the same man for fourth place as he did the year before and gained one more point. Harry Varney took second place in the shot put; Kenneth Simmons took third in the quarter mile run; and our relay team, consisting of Nosier, Pownder, Richmond, and Wilson took third place. Zed Finley was elected captain for this year’s track team. No coach was secured, but some good material is being developed. The squad is not as large as that of last year, but quality rather than quantity is the rule. Only two lettermen, Finley and Simmons, were back. Some of the underclassmen are showing up well and will help much. On April 17 Coquille had a dual meet with Riverton. The team completely swamped that of Riverton under the score of 66-33. Harol.i Simmons led in the scoring by taking four first places. “Giant” Finley came next with eighteen points, taking three first places and one second. Kenneth Simmons annexed ten points taking a first, a second, and two third places. Call made nine points by taking three second places. Several good races were run, and record time was made in some of them. Ronald Ward of Riverton won the 220 yard dash by running it in 23:1. Good time was also made by Harold Simmons in the quarter mile dash, as he ran it in 53 seconds flat. He did not quite equal his run of last year in the half mile, but made it in two minutes, thirteen seconds. Zed Finley did well in the shot put, putting it 39 feet, 9 inches. Another dual track meet was held at Myrtle Point the following Saturday. A squad of seven men went up to represent the school. Zed Finley, Kenneth Simmons, and Harold Simmons won their letters by tak- ( ing first places. They showed up well in the field events, but fell down orf the sprints and run. They were beaten by the score of 78-34. Myrtle Point had a nine point lead at the start as Coquille did not have any entries in the pole vault. Zed Finley made sixteen points, taking first in the high jump, the discus throw, and the shot put, and third in the javelin throw. Kenneth Simmons came next with nine points, taking first in the broad jump, second in the high jump, and third in the hurdles. Harold Simmons made eight points getting first in the mile and third in the 50-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, and the half mile run. Art Pulford made one point taking third in the discus throw. This was a very poor showing against the week before. Royce Richmond, one of our most promising tracksters, was sick with the mumps and unable to participate in these meets. Much experience has been gained from these meets by the team, and will help them greatly in the county meet to be held at Myrtle Point, May 15. The meet was put off for a week on account of rain. Zed Finley will not be able to participate in the county meet because of the mumps. This is quite a loss to the team as he is one of the mainstays of the team and the captain. Nevertheless, the team will go to Myrtle Point and try to make up for his loss. It is hoped that Coquille will place in the meet this year, but after this loss it is hard to tell. Coquille will lose all of her track team by graduation this year except Call and Richmond. 8? i? YELL LEADERS MAC” McGILVERY KENNETH SIMMONS “ADAM AND EVA” IS UNDER the direction of Miss Atkinson, the Senior Class presented the play, “Adam and Eva,” on April 30. The cast appeared before a capacity audience at the Liberty Theatre. The play, which consists of three acts, opens with the wealthy rubber importer, Mr. King, in a fine rage because of the extravagant habits of his family. Adam Smith. Mr. King’s general manager, is home from the King rubber plantations on the Amazon, so the family plot with Di. Delamater to have him convince King he is sick and needs a rest. Thespian to have King go up the Amazon instead of sending Adam Smith. Dr. Delamater, who is Uncle Horace’s physician, and Lord Andrew Gordon are both after the hand of Eva and they fall in with the scheme. Horace, who through all this plotting has been dozing in his chair, tells King that his sickness is a put up job. Adam comes in and King calls all the family together and tells them he is going to leave on a vacation and install Adam Smith as “father” over the household. Adam has always thought it would be wonderful to have a family, but after ten days of it he changes his mind. There is a flurry in the rubber market and Adam uses this opportunity to announce to the family that Mr. King is ruined. As Adam has taken all their jewels from the safes, the members of the family have to start to work. Dr. Delamater, who proves to be a common fortune hunter, backs out as gracefully as he can. Lord Andrew Gordon drops his title and sticks with the family and gives riding lessons. Clinton De Witt becomes a clothing salesman. Aunt Abby gets married and Eva, Julie, and Corinthia conduct a chicken and bee farm in New Jersey. Adam works in Mr. King’s office in the city and boards at the farm. On Thanksgiving day, Mr. King returns and as Adam has not told Mr. King that he is ruined, everyone suspects Adam of taking the money and running away. Adam comes in and tells Mr. King he is still rich. Corinthia helps Andrew to see that Eva and Adam are in love, so all end? well. Cast James King, a rich man ...

THIS play was give by the Junior class at the Coquille Community Building December 17, 1925. Miss Roeder, the class adviser, with the assistance of Miss Wilson, coached the play. Lord Anthony Crackenthorpe, eldest son of Lady Crackenthorpe, was a great lover of spiders and, because most of the women of his acquaintance thought spiders such horrible things, he had grown to be a middle aged bachelor. Lady Crackenthorpe fairly detested the terrible “O’Mara’s” and consequently she didn’t want her son to marry Peggy. Fortunately Peggy didn’t care for Lord Anthony, but she knew that her mother did. She proceeded to take things in her own hands. She ran away to the apartments of Jimmie Keppel, Lord Anthony’s brother, who had come to help his mother break up the match. Upon finding Jimmie gone, Peggy stayed all night. When he returned early in the morning, he found her thus. As she was trying to explain matters, Mrs. Colquohoun, the village gossip, came in and to keep from causing a scandal they told her they were married. When Mrs. O’Mara thinks Peggy married, she decides it is she who is in love with Lord Crackenthorpe. Lord Anthony after due course of time proposes to her. After Peggy finds that she doesn’t have to marry Lord Anthony, she won’t have anything to do with Jimmie. By this time he has fallen madly in love with her and after much coaxing she consents to marry him. Edward Johnson, as Lord Anthony Crachenthorpe with his mixture of clothes, his jerky talk, and his sudden unexpected laugh, proved to be an excellent spiderman. Edward certainly knows his p’s and q’s about unexperienced love making. Probably, he has never had any experience. Lady Crackenthorpe, played by Beryl Hopton, was a hard, haughty, unsympathetic woman. Beryl showed interpretive skill in playing this role. Major Archie Phipps, a well preserved ex-cavalry officer and brother of Lady Crackenthorpe, was played by Clarence Bean. He was a “dog” in his day and still is jaunty. Royce Richmond made a handsome, gallant young hero as Jimmie Keppel, Lord Anthony’s brother. Peggy O’Mara, Mrs. O’Mara’ bright, impulsive, pretty daughter, was Jean Young. She was always doing things all-of-a-sudden. Jean fitted into the part of the slightly wild Irish girl very well. Mrs. O’Mara, widow of the celebrated Professor O’Mara, was played by Clare Bean, who made a plump little Irish woman. Millicent Keppel, Marvin Jane Hawkins, was the fresh, healthy-looking little sister of Lord Crackenthorpe. Hadley Curts, as Jimmie’s friend Jack Menzies, sustained the spirit of a happy-go-lucky young man. Mrs. Colquohoun, an elegantly dressed woman with a superbly lanquid manner and lazy, perfectly bred drawl, was Opal Gaslin. Harold Gould as Parker, the butler, and Harvey Benham, a manservant, were well suited to their parts, and added interest and amusement to the play.

It has made several public appearances which have been favorably received. This year has been the first time in the history of Coquille’s Glee Club Girls that they have had regular uniform costumes. The smocks and tarns are very attractive, especially as they are made of red and white, the colors of Coquille High. The Club put on an operetta, “The Feast of the Little Lanterns,” in April.

Later several other pieces were added. The orchestra has appeared this year before the student body and the chamber of commerce only, since most of the members are new. However, with the good start it has made so far it will be able to do some good work next year.

It was organized shortly after the beginning of the second semester. Seventeen students were eligible for membership. The symbols of the organization are the torch, the two bar and the one bar pins. All students who have earned eighty points in scholarship and school citizenship at the end of their third year in high school are eligible to wear the torch. In order for a student to come into permanent possession of the torch pin he must earn one hundred and ten points at the end of his fourth year. Any student who has won fifty points at the end of his second year is eligible to wear the two bar pin. To wear the one bar pin one must have earned twenty-four points during his first year in school. When a higher pin has been earned the emblem the student has been wearing is returned to the school. The Society started with seventeen members who were as follows: Marion George, Jean Young, Marvin Jane Hawkins, Verna Harrold, Phyllis McCurdy, Harry Mast, Edward Johnson, Clarence Barton, Edna Robinson, Haldane Holmstrom, Kenneth Hansen, Orpha Burket, Fern Houdy-shell, Josephine Terres, Elizabeth Mintonye, Alta Belle Elwood and Bernice Foley. It is hoped that this new organization will create enough interest in scholarship that the standards of the school will be greatly raised. The officers for this year were as follows: President.......................................Jean Young Vice President.........................Fern Houdyshell Secretary Treasurer - Orpha Burket F ROYCE RICHMOND ALICE COLLIER JEAN YOUNG EDWARD JOHNSON MARGARET WILCOX OFFICERS - - President - Vice President Secretary Treasurer Book Exchange Manager JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE n THE Junior Chamber of Commerce with a membership of about 58 has had a very successful year. This society was organized by Mrs. McCormack in 1923 and has been an active society since that time. The aims of the organization have always been: to co-operate with the local civic organizations and leaders in conducting commercial and industrial activites, to participate in various civic and state movements, and to promote fellowship which is acquired by the intimate relationship which comes from association in the community work. Regular meetings are held the second Tuesday in the month. At these meetings plans are made for work. In 1923, the Junior Chamber of Commerce built the “Dinty Moore Trail,” the sidewalk along the highway from town to the high school building. In 192 4, this organization planned to build a cement sidewalk and steps from the front entrance to the highway, but the work was taken over by the school board. The members also leveled and seeded the lawn, so that now the grounds present a more pleasing appearance. This was further improved this year by shrubs and trees bought with money made by this organization through “hot dog” sales at the football games. Alice Collier and Jean Young were appointed to attend the meetings of the women’s club and two boys, Ross Kistner and Rupert Pownder, were appointed to attend the meetings of the city Commercial Club. Both committees always had a report to make. LeNorme Pownder Ross Kistner C'arence Barton DEBATE Billie King DEBATE, as an interscholastic activity, is growing in importance each year. It affords excellent training in public speaking and develops mental capacity for such things as alertness, quick thinking, and the ability to organize ideas in a concise form. Although it does not rank among the most popular activities, it is rapidly growing in importance and the students are taking more interest in it every year. In the future, debating will probably be participated in by many more students than at present as they realize the advantage it offers them. The question for debate this year was: “Resolved, that the Con- vention system formerly in use in Oregon, is preferable to the direct primary election law as a means of nominating candidates for office.” A great deal of material was obtained and every phase of the question was thoroughly discussed. Although no tryouts were held, the team worked diligently and came forward with well-prepared arguments. On February 12th, the affirmative team, consisting of Clarence Barton and Billie King, met the Bandon negative at Coquille, while the negative team, consisting of Ross Kistner and Le Norme Pownder, opposed the North Bend affirmative team at North Bend. Both negative and affirmative teams were defeated, but we feel sure that they did their best. The fact must be taken into account, too, that no one, with the exception of Clarence Barton who served as alternate last year, had had any instruction or experience in debating previously. We appreciate the time and effort which both the team and their coach, Mr. Lyman Carrier, expended upon this activity. Very few students realize the time and study that is required in organizing an effective debate. Preparing a debate and preparing for a basket ball game might be compared as proof of this fact. Practice which comes during athletics is not a process of mental but of physical strain. Lester Wilson Jean Young E'eanore Wilson Herman Floten Wayne Robinson Clarence Bean Rupert Pownder Kenneth Simmons ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY 1? THE Student Body is the only organization in the school of which all the students are a part. It is an organization by means of which all business is transacted. It also aims to promote better feeling and cooperation among the students. Besides this the Student Body carries on all business with other schools, and gives the students experience in executive positions. Each year eight officers are elected from the student body at large and these, together with one representative from each class, act as an executive council. This council decides minor questions that arise and their actions are subject to the approval of the Student Body. This council also acts as the Inter-class rivalry committee.

Assistant Business Manager HI TIMES STAFF V THE paper made its first appearance last year, with Eugene Laird as editor. The staff was chosen from the student body at large by the editor, who also appointed certain students to act as class reporters. Clarence Bean was elected editor this year, with Jean Young and Alice Collier as assistant editors, Clarence Barton as business manager and Edward Johnson as assistant business manager. Unlike the method used the previous year, the staff was not appointed by the editor but any student who wished to do so had the opportunity of doing staff work. Those on the staff were: Beryl Hopton, Phyllis McCurdy, Marvin Jane Hawkins, LeNorme Pownder, Beryl Fish, Josephine Terres, and Fern Houdyshell. Thelma Pullen and Clare Bean were also members of the staff for a time but found it necessary to give up the work. Much of the success of the paper is due to the help which Miss Atkinson, faculty adviser, gave the staff. In February a contest was started among the members of the staff to stimulate interest in staff work. Points were awarded for a number of things, the most important of which were: best lead, two points; best unassigned story, one point; most unassigned stories, three points; best news feature, two points; most stories in on time, four points; papers in good condition, two points. This contest served its purpose well and a great deal more interest was aroused in staff work. Then there is the financial side of the paper’s prosperity, too. The first year it suffered something similar to what is called “financial embarrassment,” for at the end of the year it was in debt thirty-five dollars. But, profiting by its one year of experience, the paper has this year come out with a profit of twenty dollars. THE “C” Club is the only letterman’s organization in the school. Any boy who is awarded a “C” for participation in any athletic contest is automatically a member. The purpose of the “C” Club is to promote good sportsmanship and to support the activities of the school. Among other accomplishments they passed resolutions regarding the conduct of students at the games. As soon as the students were in-tormed of the stand the C Club had taken there was no occasion for the inflicting of any of the penalities which had been provided.

One the best ways to gain self-confidence is to address a large body of people. Only a few of the students took advantage of this opportunity. Some of them were forced to drop out on account of illness. In other activities the large school always has the best chance to win but in this contest the small school has as much of a chance to win, because each school is limited to only two contestants. Miss Wilson, the oratory and declamatory coach, had the class tryouts before the classes and the class chose two, one for declamatory and one for oratory, to represent them before the student body. Those who tried out in the different classes were: Seniors: Garnet Steward, LeNorme Pownder and Marion George. Juniors: Fern Houdyshell and Harlo Call. Sophomores: Josephine Terres, Clarence Barton, Haldane Holm- strom and Kenneth Hansen. Freshsmen: Edna Robinson, Alvin McQuigg and Raymond Palmer. The ones chosen from the class tryouts, who spoke before the student body and their orations and declamations were: Seniors: Garnet Steward—“The Second Trial.” LeNorme Pownder—“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” Juniors: Fern Houdyshell—“Connor.” Harlo Call—“The American Pioneer.” Sophomore: Josephine Terres—“The Necklace.” Clarence Barton—“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” Freshmen: Edna Robinson—“The Chariot Race.” Alvin McQuigg—“The Victory of Marengo.” These contestants gave their declamations and orations before the student body and Garnet Steward and Harlo Call were chosen to represent Coquille High School at the county contest. Miss Slottee, Miss Nissen and Mr. Richards were the judges. The county contest was held in Marshfield April 16. Marshfield won the declamatory cup and Myrtle Point the oratorical cup. There was only one place chosen but Coquille had a good chance to place second. SCHOOL LIFE INTERCLASS RIVALRY ■K INTERCLASS rivalry has been very outstanding in the activities of the school year. The competition between the four classes has been very keen and at no time was a class sure of winning. The juniors were in the lead, with the seniors a close second when the annual went to press. The sophomores and freshmen kept the rivalry high. This is the first year that interclass rivalry has found a place in the events of this high school. Kenneth Simmons, chairman, with the help of the Executive Council managed the contest which consists of two classes of events, major and minor. MAJOR EVENTS BASKET BALL When basketball season opened this year the classes were each sure of winning the honors but very soon it was shown who was to be victorious. There was much rivalry among the students of the different classes as well as the players. Out of the six games that were played the juniors accounted for three wins while the seniors took second place with two games won and one lost. The sophomores won one game and lost two while the freshmen were at the bottom with a loss of three games. BASKETBALL—Girls Girls’ basketball also caused much excitement among the classes. There were only three teams due to the junior and senior classes not containing enough athletically inclined girl members to constitute a team. Only three games were played. The sophomore girls won two games while the junior and senior team won one and lost none. The freshman team, as the boys’ freshman team, lost all of their games. BASEBALL When basketball season was over most of the boys could be found at various times outside playing with the grade boys’ baseball and bat. At times the grade boys were not even allowed to play, too, and they protested heartily. The high school boys had become so attached to the sport that they bought some bats and balls of their own and it was decided to have interclass games. The seniors came out on top with three games to their credit while the sophomores received second honors by winning two games and losing one. The juniors won one and lost two games while the freshmen lost all three. TRACK Interclass track was held during two afternoons after school. All the usual events were performed. There were races and jumping and throwing of the javelin. The seniors won first place, the juniors second, the sophomores third, and consequently the freshmen last. ORATORY AND DECLAMATORY On March 17, the interclass tryouts for oratory and declamatory were held and a contestant for each contest was chosen to represent each class. Those representing the seniors were Garnet Steward and LeNorme Pownder; the juniors, Fern Houdyshell and Harlo Call; the sophomores, Jo Terres and Clarence Barton; and the freshmen, Edna Robinson and Alvin McQuigg. MINOR EVENTS ■V HIGH TIMES SUBSCRIPTIONS In the contest between classes for the largest percent of High Times subscriptions the seniors are honored with first place by making 100 per cent. The sophomores came second with 65%; the juniors and freshmen, third and fourth with 61% and 32% respectively. STUDENT BODY DUES The competition of classes for first place in the sale of student body tickets was entered quite as enthusiastically by the seniors as that for High Times subscriptions. They had 100%, consequently first place, while the juniors and sophomores tied for second place with 96%. The freshmen had their usual honors at being fourth with 88%. ATHLETIC TICKETS Athletic tickets were sold twice this year. The first time at the beginning of football season and again at the midterm. The men going out for football were not included in the average. The seniors again took first place although without the usual 100%; however they had 90%. The freshmen were fourth with 34%; the sophomores, second with 57%; the juniors, third with 45%. LAUREL SALES The Laurel sales competition between classes was not as keen as it ( should have been and there was not much honor in the juniors taking first place with 5395-; the freshmen raised their usual place to second with 51%, for which we are duly proud of them. The noble seniors dropped from their 100% class and fell to third place with 50%. The sophomores took fourth place with 48%. FOOTBALL TURNOUT Although the seniors have the smallest class they are capable of turning out the greatest percentage of football men. They produced 63% of their class; the juniors, 58%; the sophomores, 50%; while the freshmen turned out 50%. ENTERTAINMENT In order to create a greater interest in the student body meetings, it was decided to award points to the class that gave the best program before the student body. These programs were to be judged by a committee picked from the faculty. So far, however, only the juniors and sophomores have given theirs. GRADES Because of the fact that the average of the grades this year was not as high as it was last year, the Interclass Rivalry committee decided at the beginning of the second semester to award points each six weeks to the class having the highest average. The first six weeks period the seniors received first place and the juniors second. . “S? i? Miss Slottee: “Hurry up, Stanley, you’ll never make a record typing that slow.” Stanley: “I never was much of a person to show off.” Mr. Moorhead: “I’ll give you just one day to hand in that paper.” Artie: “How about the Fourth of July?” is Miss Wilson: “I’ll give anybody a cookie who will tell me what a predicate nominative is.” Doris: “Show us the cookie!” •� Mr. Cramer: “Can any person in this class tell what steel wool is?” Student: “Sure, steel wool is shearing from hydraulic rams.” SCHOLARSHIP CUPS S? SCHOLARSHIP cups are presented each year to the boy and to the girl having the highest average in class work, deportment, and citizenship during their junior and senior years. The minimum grade is ninety percent. The girl’s cup was presented to the high school by Miss Alete Ahlson to be awarded to the girl who makes the highest average in her junior and senior years and has not gone below the minimum. The boys’ cup was presented by Mrs. Mildred Parr and the requirements are the same as the ones for the girls’ cup. Any girl or boy who is awarded one of these cups has received the highest honor which Coquille High School can bestow upon a student. The cups were first awarded to Delia Sherwood and Ralph Harry of the graduating class of nineteen hundred twenty-three. The following year they were awarded to Errol Sloan and Clarabelle Mintonye. Last year they were awarded to Maxine Paulson and Layton Nosier. The habits and the ability to study that are acquired during the freshman and sophomore years will stay with one during the junior and senior years and on through college. The best time to start learning to study is when one is a freshman. ft EDITORIAL n AFTER many months of strenuous effort, after many delays, we have at last achieved the goal for which we have been striving—another edition of the Laurel in the last stages of completion. This year we have attempted to give the students something different and at the same time cut down the cost of the book. Although we have succeeded in cutting down the cost of the book between two hundred and fifty and three hundred dollars we have not been able to make the annual self-supporting. The theme which is run all the way through our book is the school house. But through the class sections in our border design we have attempted by different logging scenes to represent the steps which a student takes as he goes from his freshman to his senior year. The editor has the following suggestions to make to those who perhaps upon reading this annual might have occasion to feel that it is not all that it should be: If you don’t like the annual—That is too bad. If you think that you could improve it—You could. If your picture isn’t any good—Look what the photographer had to work with. , If your name is left out—The printer did not have the right type. If the write-ups are no good—Blame the Editor. He didn’t write them. If the book costs too much—Blame the Business Manager. If you think you are going to learn anything by reading this page— You’re an optimist. The business manager surely had a hard time getting his expanse account to balance. He worked at it for several months, this is about what it looks like now: Budget Expense Income Cost $500.00 Sales - $ 40.00 Expense - 300.00 Income - 54.90 Expense - 33.32 Income 2.20 Misc. - 200.00 Adds 19.00 Cost 900.00 Expense - 40.00 More expense - 99.13 Balance - - 1,956.35 Total - - $2,072.45 Total - - $2,072.45 CALENDAR •v September 8. 9. 11. 12. 16. 22. 23. 27. 2. 3. 5. 8. 10. 15. 17. 22. 23. 28. School begins. We settle down into a studious state in which we will remain for nine months. The freshies are initiated. I wonder why children feel so grown up when they enter high school. The Interclass Rivalry Committee makes them feel pretty small. At the same assembly some student body officers were elected. The Freshmen Frolic. This was held in the gymnasium. A short musical program, games, and dancing furnished the entertainment and refreshments were served at about eleven o’clock. How green the little freshies are. One said to another, “How do they get water in a watermelon” and the other answered, “They plant them in the spring, of course.” Football practice starts. All the young hopefuls in the line of football come limping to school. They groan every time they sit down or stand up. Such is life after the first practice. The three-weeks flunk slips come out. “Ain’t it amazing wffiat a few zeros can do?” October The senior English class dined upon watermelon and doughnuts at a picnic under the fir tree on the school grounds. This was a fine opportunity to get one’s face washed—and many took advantage of it. What a waste of watermelon! First game of the season. Coquille at Myrtle Point. We lost 22-0. Artie decides he’d like to see a little football game on his own initiative. Consequently, he gets “suspended.” Class meetings, and three classes choose the carnation for their flower. Coquille vs. Bandon. We beat ’em 16-0. The only time parents view the school, it seems, is when their young hopefuls get kicked out and have to be brought back. Jimmy makes his 15 marks. Marshfield at Coquille. Again we get beat. This time 6-3. A banquet was enjoyed by about twenty of the football squad. The business men of the city used this means to show that they were back of the team. Oh! Herman ? ? ? Junior Chamber of Commerce party. The teachers see themselves as others see them ? After the program, games, dancing and finally refreshments were enjoyed. (Ask Bart about the refreshments.) Kenny Simmons gets the desired 15 marks, which are getting so popular, and brings his daddy to visit the school. , 30. We enjoyed school at eight o’clock this morning—just for novelty’s sake. Of course, everybody was there on time? ? We got out at noon and went to the Corn Show. 31. Hallowe’en. Corn Show. We beat North Bend 3-0. The Glee Clubs appeared in the entertainment in the evening. November 6. Big rally down town. Some of our goodly students were captured by the Myrtle Point kids who carried them back to Myrtle Point. Alice Collier got sent home for being naughty and had to bring her mama to school. 7. Myrtle Point at Coquille. A hard-fought game but they win 19-12. 11. Armistice Day, No school Huray! 18. We get the surprise of our life—John Seeley, who is always so good in school, gets suspended for having 15 points. 20. Once again we enter the stately portals of our school at 8:00—I mean some of us. We didn’t get out ’till one o’clock and we almost starved. Even our lean, hungry faces and sunken cheeks wouldn’t move the teachers to let us out early. Then we went to North Bend to see our team win again—but it didn’t. The battle raged ’till early candle light and they defeated us 14-10. 23. A girl A date And so Out late, A test A flunk Ain’t school The “BUNK” ?????? (A common tragedy in sixteen words.) 25. Thanksgiving day—ate a big dinner; then we went to Marshfield. Here our mighty team was again conquered—14-6. 24-29. Teachers’ Institute and Thanksgiving holidays. k December 1. Girls basket ball meeting was held and Katherine Peart re-elected captain. 2 The Elizabethan court visits the English classes. The rooters’ caps arrived and everybody grabs for the large head sizes. It had not occurred to us until now that many of the members whom we thought shy and modest had the big head. 3. Visitors’ day. Keith Laird, Harold Simmons and Arty Pulford bring their paps to school. 4. The school mourns the absence of our student body president and Laurel and High Times editors, because we couldn’t go with them to U. of O., (not because we miss them.) The sophomores entertained immc rr aijd TAKt rr LOOK PtfASAtlT j JUNIOR SNAPS the student body with a well-planned program, games and dancing at a party in the auditorium. The sophomore girls served refreshments about 11:15. 7. The junior pins and rings arrive. Bishop Sumner spoke to the student body on the value of higher education. The first of a series of inter-class basket ball games takes place. Juniors vs. Sophomores. Juniors win 10-6. Seniors vs. Freshmen. Seniors win 6-4. 9. Seniors vs. Juniors. Sophomores vs. Freshmen. 11. Juniors vs. Freshmen. Sophomores vs. Seniors. 11. The Boys’ Glee Club presented its operetta, “Freshies,” at the Liberty Theatre between shows. The story was about a group of college boys of the Wanta Pi fraternity. There was not much of a plot but the music had been practiced so diligently that the performance was an unusual success. 17. In spite of the harsh weather, a moderately large crowd assembled in the community building to watch the Junior Play, “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy.” The cast had worked faithfully on this play and although it was presented only a few weeks after the books arrived, the errors were few and carefully concealed. The play proved both interesting and humorous to the spectators. 18. ’Twas the week before Christmas, And all thru’ the school, The students took care, To obey every rule. The seniors’ behavior Was great, one and all, (Only John danced the Charleston With Beryl in the hall.) Never mind! He got canned for it. The student body assembled in the study hall, and after a brief business meeting Mr. Cramer presented the C’s to the football men (pardon me, I didn’t mean “men” altogether; Chet wasn’t there so Katherine got his.) Santa Claus came by last night and just as he got to the schorl house his sack bursted and a lot of presents fell out, so Santa told Wayne to deliver them to all the good boys and girls. After the quiet (?) ceremony of distributing the gifts was over Mr. Cramer told us to run along home and not come back 'till Jan. 4. Hurrah1 25. Merry Xmas! 28. Coquille buries North Bend all-stars under a score of 30-8 in a basket ball game! 30 The local quintet beats Albany High 15-9 and so we begin to build up high hopes on this team. January 1. Everybody resolves to be good at school and get his lessons and not annoy the teachers. Wouldn’t it be nice to get four exemptions? 4. School again and all the resolutions get broken. 6. Part of the English Three class tries to plant ivy on the terrace. 8. Coquille at Marshfield. We lose the first conference basket ball game 10-7. We break even in a typing contest with Myrtle Point. 12. We notice some girls who can’t even wear a smile without looking in the mirror to see if it fits. 15. We beat Myrtle Point by a score of 38-17 and a girls’ score of 28-9. 19-20. Tests-?!!?XX!?? 22. Report cards. That’s worse. Riverton here. A very thrilling game—about as dry as a fish’s throat in Arizona. Boys’ score 39-10. Girls’ score 28-9. 25. First day of the new semester. Miss Druley: (making the general science assignments) “Start with lightning and go to thunder.” 26. Botany field trip. Cast of characters: Lester, all the girls in the class, and a wide creek. A fact: The girls were soon on the other side of the creek. Scientific Problem: How they got there ? Now figure it out for thyself. February 4. Honor Society is organized. All the smart kids are presented with pins. 5. The society organizes and Phyllis and Fern tied for the position of vice-president, so they flipped a penny. It landed “heads up” so Fern got it. At night there was a game with Bandon on the home floor. The water was so high that their team had to come up at noon. The girls’ team, not being masters of aquatic sports, had to stay home. Anyway the boys’ team beat us 19-17. It’s an outrage! 12. The debate. The affirmative team conflicted with North Bend while the negative team was in Bandon. Now—the long and the short of this question was: Clarence Barton and Billie King. 13. The “High Times” editor worked on a coal pile. He’ll be laboring on a rock pile next, I guess. Coquille, at Bandon. We fixed ’em! Score was 27-13. 16. Coquille, at North Bend. The “Red Devils” beat’em all hollow! Boys’ score 27-13 and girls’ score 31-20. 19. Verna leaves school—What’s the matter with Buzz? 22. Washington’s Birthday. No school all day. Coquille at Myrtle Point. We swamped ’em. Boys’ score 22-15. Girls’ score 20-15. 23. Seniors bawl. No-I mean Seniors’ Ball. Graham’s Hall was all decorated like a forest—pool, flowers, greens and everything. A big red “C” of red lights shone from one wall while red and orange lights glowed from floor lamps. Two feature dances were given during the evening. After the Grand March there were fourteen dances and four extras. The music was furnished by the Blue Moon Or- 30. 1. 2. 3. 8. 12. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 22. 23. chestra. This was about the most successful and the prettiest affair the school has ever put on. The freshmen get initiated. May be it isn’t fun to be taken in and forced to bow to the student body and in so doing have Wayne strike you from behind with a paddle two feet wide—more or less—(the paddle broke by the way) ; it may not be very nice to be sitting at ease on a chair and suddenly get a shock from an electric current that sends you a yard off your seat; perhaps you don’t like to get a black eye, or to lead a yell for the seniors or sophomores; but it always makes a lot of fun for the rest of us. That night Coquille conquered Marshfield by a score of 16-14. Miss Druley didn’t keep the sophomores in at noon. Miss Roeder didn’t snap her fingers. Miss Atkinson didn’t keep anyone in for not having his work done. Miss Nissen didn’t have orchestra practice. Oh boy! what a day! March The Civics class goes to court to hear a moonshiner’s case tried. Now they know what’ll happen to them if they don’t act right. “Laurel” pictures taken. Why can’t a fella look decent, anyway? More pictures. Topics of the day— “Got a compact?” “Who’s got a comb?” “Does my dress look all right?” “Stand over a little; he can’t see my face.” “Oh Gee! I was talking when he took it!” “My eyes were shut,” etc. The girls’ championship team plays Reedsport. It’s a tie—22-22. Girls’ play Port Orford and win 36-13. What’s the world coming to? Miss Nissen bobs her hair! ! Miss Nissen of all people! ? Buzz buys a pie. Kenneth and Bart try to get it. (They did get it externally.) All the classes have to sit for an hour and listen to the eloquent young speakers of their class. Pauline gives the Girls’ Glee Club a party and the Ouija board told us a lot of things. It said Miss Nissen was going to get married. We asked it who the man was and it told us, but I couldn’t say his name here. I’ve told too much already. The Willamette Woman’s Glee Club sings, while Herman raves about a certain lady’s smile. Mr. Greenleaf reads part of “Hamlet” to us. The sun shone down upon the earth The day was bright and clear, Two lads in school said to themselves, “Why should we linger here?” “I fear my throat is getting sore, My jaws are bearing lumps,” Said one of them, and felt his neck For symptoms of the mumps. The other felt with nervous hands The region of his neck, “If we are getting mumps,” said he, “We can’t stay here, by heck!” And so they planned to get excused, But since they felt all right They’d just go on a business trip And come back late at night. 25. 29. 20. 31. 1. 2. Their afternoon was spent in glee; The night began to fall, The boys felt better right away, Their jaws didn’t hurt at all. “I guess we didn’t have the mumps We can go to school tomorrow.” But their mothers wouldn’t write an excuse To both boys’ greatest sorrow. Senior flunk day. The seniors thought they were putting one over on us, but everyone knew when and where they were going and all about it. They went to Port Orford and had a very enjoyable time, no doubt. However, the rest of the school had an hour and a half for noon and went on picnics to take snaps for the “Laurel.” Elizabeth is afraid of mean cows. Declamatory tryouts. We had to sit still and listen for over two hours to some stuff most of us had heard time and again. Garnet and Harlo carried away the honors and the sophomores tore their hair because Harlo was representing the juniors. Mr. Taylor tried to sell us an artists’ course and we argued for two hours and finally decided not to. The seniors hurt the freshmen’s feelings and tried to show everybody else how old and worldly wise they were. We listen to the O. A. C. Military Band. They give a concert and dance at night and all the girls go to see if they can’t capture the cute little sheik with the black mustache. April April Fool’s Day. Common comments: “You’ve got a hole in your stocking.” “Mr. Cramer wants to see you.” “What’s on your nose?” “You’re wanted on the telephone.” All the age-old remarks which are repeated every year. An Honor Societey meeting was held and Clarence Barton and Harry Mast debated about the way girls should dress when they come to school. Miss Roeder asked Rupert what a dark horse was and he told her it was a night mare. That’s why he gets exempt (?) in Civics. We had a student body meeting and the C’s and stripes were presented to the girls and boys. The student body was thanked in the 3. 8. 9. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 19. 20. 21. usual manner, by all but “Brick” and she became quite eloquent and delivered an elegant speech. After that five girls were nominated for May Queen and the girls who weren’t nominated went around all day with long faces. After school the inter-class track meet was held and Rupert’s high jump was executed exquisitely. George McClellan won the 100-yard dash and surprised everybody. Pretty good for a freshman, eh? Typing contest. Margaret Bell and Jimmie Agostine made the best rate for Coquille, although Myrtle Point won. Herman, Lester, Royce, and Harlo, weary of school life, took the afternoon off. A little vacation is lots of fun while it lasts. It’s the after-effect that counts though. The operetta of the Girl’s Glee Club—“The Feast of the Little Lanterns”—was given. It was attended very well by all the students who didn’t have the mumps and a great many of the townspeople. It was a colorful affair, since the stage was beautifully decorated and the costumes were very pretty. It all went very well excepting a few incidents such as one of the curtain boys falling asleep at the end of the second act and making it necessary for the chorus to sit and fan in silence for two or three minutes, and Marvin Jane, while producing some articles by magic from her wonderful sleeve, showed everything else strapped to her arm. Damp weather: Mr. Cramer nearly fell down the fire-escape. Didn’t he see the sign Mr. Parr put up stating that it was not safe? I wonder. Frances and Katherine find school too monotonous and have a little vacation during the afternoon. The biology class has a field trip and goes wading for polywogs in Watson’s pond. Funny how those little things can slip through one’s fingers, isn’t it? ', Miss Druley tried to learn to swim. At school she tells' us a person can learn to do anything if he only applies himself. But—I guess that only holds true in school. Student body meeting in which nominations for student body officers were made. Bo Johnson says he has a girl in mind. A great many other such similar speeches were given. Riverton vs. Coquille in track. Our men ran fast quarter mile laps, but at that each one moved only two feet. George gets over the mumps and comes back to school. Let us all rejoice with Eleanor. Our distinguished “Laurel” editor returneth after a mild (?) case of mumps. “Les” takes over some of Mr. Johnson’s duties and sets the clock a little ahead. Marlin tears his trousers and has to go home. Ask him how he passed the girls on the stairs. Elizabeth brings her parrot to school for Miss Druley’s benefit and Harlo takes the little pet—and its mistress—home. Who’s jealous? Jimmie returns after his little vacation which he took on account of having mumps. 23. A student body meeting in which the results of the election are announced. “Ray for Mr. Call, our next year’s president!” The juniors present a short play in which a bachelor advertises for a wife and has a great trial with the applicants. At night the juniors give an April Frolic. The ladies came at 7:00 and were entertained by an interesting program. At 9:00 the men came and dancing was enjoyed until eleven. 30. Another student body meeting in which all those elected to offices arise and say something to the effect that they “certainly wish to thank the student body for the confidence which has been placed in them,” etc. etc. Jimmy gave an oration as lengthy as if it had been Cicero’s and Jean couldn’t say enough to please the public so Lester finished it for her. 1. 3. 5. G. 15. 21. 23. 27. Then the sophomores gave a worthy program consisting of a thrilling drama, a number of classical musical pieces by the Klamorous Kitchen Orkestra, and a fashion show by the boys. At night the senior play, “Adam and Eva,” was given in the theatre. It was a great success and was attended by a large audience. MAY Wedding-bells! ! ! Matrimony! and a dignified senior, formerly Clara Brockman, was united in marriage! ! ! Monday morning: Strains of “Here comes the Bride,” floated out upon the still air as Mrs. Clara Morris strolled up the hall. Not only that, but her desk in Miss Atkinson’s room was adorned with old shoes, tin cans, “just married” signs and all the rest of it. Poor Mr. Johnson went around the building sweeping up rice all day. Friend: (to bridegroom) “Were you nervous at your wedding?” Groom: “Nervous! Say, I kissed the preacher and gave Clara ten dollars.” May dance at Graham’s Hall. Phyllis was crowned queen and her attendants were Garnet Steward, Frances Nosier, Beryl Fish, and Alice Collier. It was a pretty affair sponsored by the Woman’s Club and many of the students played important parts. Where’s my books ?????? Lester, Herman and Art go home on a short vacation because of 15 marks. Miss Roeder found the sidewalk very slippery and was se?n picking up her books, and brushing the mud from her face and hands. Track meet. Junior-Senior banquet, at the Coquille Hotel. Class day exercises. Baccalaureate. Report cards.
