SENIOR CLASS HISTORY j AS I sat looking into the fire one evening my thoughts went back to the day when the thirty-three freshmen, of whom I was one, entered Coquille High; and as I sat there dreaming, Father Time appeared before me with his large book of Time in his hands. I began to question him. He turned the pages and with a long lean finger pointed out many instances : During our Freshman and Sophomore years we were recognized by the student body, during our Junior year we furthered our efforts, but the Senior year was the most active of them all. The Senior year, 1927, was a busy one with Clare Bean as editor of the “Hi Times;” Jean Young, “Laurel” editor; Clarence Barton, business manager of the student body; Hadley Curts, interclass rivalry chairman; Marvin Jane Hawkins, secretary of the student body; Fern Houdyshell, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce; and Royce Richmond, vice president of the student body. Five seniors are members of the Honor Society and each has a Torch pin. They are: Beryl Hopton, Marvin Jane Hawkins, Clarence Barton, Jean Young, and Fern Houdyshell. Ruth Schroeder, Opal Gaslin, Beryl Hopton, Alta Belle Elwood, Jean Young, Blanche Jorgenson, Marvin Jane Hawkins, and Fern Houdyshell are in the Glee Club. Fern Houdyshell and Marvin Jane Hawkins are also members of the double quartette. The boys’ Glee Club has five seniors as members: Royce Richmond, Edward Johnson, Hadley Curts, Lawrence Cadle, Clarence Barton, and Harvey Benham. Clarence Barton represented the class in debate. Edward Johnson and Marvin Jane Hawkins are orchestra members. Hadley Curts, James Agostino, Royce Richmond, and Edward Johnson were the seniors playing basket ball. Football claimed Harvey Benham, Harry Mast, Royce Richmond, Hadley Curts, Clarence Barton, and Fred Clinton. Clarence Barton is our orator and Fern Houdyshell our declaimer. Clarence won the right to represent Coquille High School in the county Oratorical Contest. Very successfully did our class present “Seventeen,” a well known play by Booth Tarkington and very clearly it presented evidence of talent for acting in our class. The president of this new organization in the high school, the Girl Reserves, is a senior; namely, Fern Houdyshell. Also a good percentage of the membership is composed of our senior girls. The class of ’27 feels that they had the most successful flunk day that any senior class has ever had. On March 29th they spent the day at Floras Lake, where swimming, rowing, and dancing provided entertainment for all. They returned to Bandon to eat their evening meal and there were met by a car of enthusiastic juniors. The seniors, however, made it very plain that the guests were uninvited so that eventually they were obliged to go home hungry.
