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-
