» 939 « FRESHMEN . . . The first year in high school for the class of 1942, began with the election of the class officers. The officers chosen to guide our class for the coming year were: Donald Whereat - President Eugene Crouch - Vice-President Duane Terry - - Secretary-Treasurer George Holbrook - - Class Representative Harold V. Cole - Class Adviser The freshman class of ’38-’39 has already shown its readiness for work and its spirit of co-operation through the members who participated in the school activities. Ten members represent the class in the band, and two of those ten play first horns in their respective sections: Dorothea Yarbrough, first clarinet, and George Holbrook, first trumpet. The other band members are: trumpets, Betty Lou Don- sted, Howard Kyle, Richard Jensen: clarinets, Florence Campbell, Glenda Clinton: trombones. Jack Newton, Betty Jo Thorpe; flute, Phyllis Bunch. Only one freshman boy made the football squad. That was Wayne Terry, who played second team center; however, he did not receive a letter. In basketball two members of the freshman class made the B squad. They were Eugene Crouch and Duane Teriy. Coquille’s B squad team ranked highest in the county and these two boys were regular players. Members of the freshman class who turned out for track are: Bob Fry. George Holbrcck, Richard Jensen, Bob Martin. Eugene Crouch, and Wayne Terry. Jerry Butler, one of our outstanding freshman boys, was chosen as a member of the debate team. He was one of four students who won the county debate championship for Coquille. This year, it seems to us freshmen that the year has been very short. We are actually looking forward to when we can say we are sophomores. Next year we expect to work even harder and build a name for ourselves in everything in which we participate.

» JSaurel SOPHOMORE CLASS . . . The sophomore class, under the guidance of Mr. George Fuller, class adviser, has been outstanding in its ability and willingness to cooperate with the other classes and members of the student body. To head their class in its Freshman year, the Class of ’41 chose LeRoy Gilbert, president; Arlie Knife, vice-president; Virginia Young, secretary-treasurer, and Donna Dunn, representative to the student council. Like the Class of ’39 the sophomores were so well satisfied with their freshman president, that they elected him to again head their class in its sophomore year. Besides President LeRoy Gilbert, Howard Moy was elected vice-president; Dorothy Hardenbrook, secretary-treasurer, and Harvey Cole, representative to the student council. The sophomores in the high school band include; Leona Cole, B flat bass; Merrill Tozier, sousaphone; Donna Dunn, trombone; Harvey Cole, saxophone; Dale Stevens, baritone. While there was a large turnout of sophomores for football, this year, only Howard Moy made his letter. This is Howard’s second year of football, as he also earned a letter last year. Arlie Knife, LeRoy Gilbert, Charles Mclntee and Russell Kollar gained honors for the class in basketball. They played on Coquille’s B team, which was the county champion of second string teams. Sterling Gruenwald and Pat Holverstott worked as alternates in debate this year, and while they participated in no contests, they laid the groundwork which will help them to become successful first string debaters in their junior and senior years. With two years of high school ahead of them, the class will undoubtedly follow the excellent start they have made and accomplish successfully all the many things expected of them.
