DOROTHY RITCHEY, Sec'y BETTY JO THARP, Re if The Senior Class of l942 is proud to present the highlights of their outstanding career in the Coquille High School. The first class organization, supervised by Mr. Cole, in their Freshman year resulted in the election of Don Whereat as President. George Holbrook pre- sided over the Sophomore meetings, and the Junior Class President was Duane Terry, with Mr. Bob Nel- son as adviser. A noticeable change was seen in the Junior Class as they were now upper-classmen. Throughout the year their ultimate aim was to make successful the Junior Play, entitled, The Vampire Bat . This was directed by Cleona Hill. The l94l Seniors were entertained at a Junior-Senior Banquet on May 6. The traditional myrtlewood cane was pre- sented by Leroy Gilbert, Senior Class President, to Duane Terry, the Junior President. At lastl Seniorsl The goal for which they had strived three years had been attained, The l942 Seniors filled the year with achievements, activities and victories, with the skillful guidance of Mrs. Harriet Osika. Chosen to lead their class was Wayne Terry, President, George Hannon, Vice-President, Dorothy Ritchey, Secretary, and Betty Jo Tharp, Senior Representative. The Seniors proved them- selves in their last year by presenting first a very successful Senior Ball. Amid gay South American splendor and palm trees, the l'-942 Seniors and their guests danced to the strains of Rudy's Orchestra. The Senior Play entitled The Night Was Dark , was a modern three-act mystery which merited much praise for the play cast and director, Mary Morris. The Seniors leading the Student Body of Coquille High were George Holbrook, President, Glenda Clin- MAY, l 942 ton, Secretary, Anabel Martindale, Treasurer, and Bill Berry, Business Manager. The Class of '42 had an outstanding athletic career, with Louis Gilbert, Wayne Terry, Bob Martin, Bud Newton, Eugene Crouch, Don Whereat, Harold Winegar, Harvey Thommen, George Holbrook, Jerry Butler, Don Hurl- butt, Orton Standley winning football letters. Eugene Crouch and Wayne Terry were selected for the All- County Football team. Basketball letters went to Eugene Crouch, Jerry Butler, Bud Newton, Duane Terry, Bill Smith. Eugene Crouch again placed on the All-County team. Backing these teams were Coach Spike Leslie and the Pepsters under the direc- tion of Miss Lunelle Chapin. On May 2nd Queen Anabel Martindale ruled over the May Festival with her charming court consisting of Evelyn Alborn, Alice Howard, Glenda Clinton, Betty Jo Tharp, Dorothy Ritchey, and Ernestine Batty. Beverly Farrell and Phyllis Bunch were selected to be the class speakers since their scholastic records were the highest in the class- 'A' 'A' ir 'k 'ki' 'k CLASS COLORS Royal Blue and Beige CLASS FLOWERS Red Rose CLASS MOTTO We Will Find a Path or Make One 9 D. fag. 6 1 -f-v Transfer 4 Sr Ball -4 Home Room Officer 4 Honor Roll 4 May Day Attendant 4 BATTY Grrls League Officer 3-4, Jr. Play Sr Play 4, G.

And they havel This group is very proud of its class and have reason to be. They have always shown their coopera- tive spirit from the time they were initiated at their first school dance to the time of their Junior-Senior Banquet. Chosen to preside over the class for the freshman year was Charles Walker and for the sophomore year, Doris Ann Wood was president. The Junior Class organization supervised by Miss Lunelle Chapin elected Boyd Hendrix, president, Betty Emery, vice- president, Kay Leslie, secretary, Verene Bailey, treasurer, and Avis Ricketts, class representative. Offices in the Girls' League Council were held by the following Junior girls: Verene Bailey, social serv- ice chairman and president, Betty Emery, vice-presi- dent, Harriet Tozier, secretary, Jerry Howell, treas- urer, Doris Ann Wood, assistant point chairman, and Mavis Tyrell, Junior representative. Particularly proud are they of their large number of students on the editorial staff of the Coquille Hi- Times. The journalists this year are Bob McCarthy, assistant editor, Marilyn Sage, feature editor, Betty Emery, Kay Leslie, Patty Brady and Harriet Tozier, feature writers, Glen Gosline and Dick Ray, sports writers, Doris Ann Wood, office news, Avis Ricketts, C'3l9f1Cl3 I Mary Woodhurst, class news reporter, MAY, l 942 Marybelle Yarbrough, pepsters, Lynn Culver, Wanda Jacobson and Verene Bailey, reporters, The sole representative fighting for the Coquille debate team was Patty Brady. Those doing their bit in Coquille's peppy band are: Wally Moore, Mary Woodhurst and LaVerne Bar- rette, Clarinets, Dick Gregory and Jack McCracken, trumpets, Jerry Howell, saxophone, and Janice Os- terhout, drum. Fighting on the Devil field are Tom Martin, the only two-year letterman, and Alvin Hickam, Wally Moore and High lrvin, one-year lettermen. There were five Junior classmen of the basketball squad. These were Tom Martin, Dick Ray, Hugh lrvin, Bob McCarthy and Glen Gosline. The Junior Play, Don't Keep Him Waiting , was a 3-act comedy and very successful under the guid- ance of Mrs. Beyers with Miss Lunelle Chapin, class adviser, assisting in the coaching of the play. After the great success of the Junior Play the Juniors were able to put on a bigger and better Junior Dance which drew one of the largest crowds in the history of the school. The theme was a kindergarten paradise decorated with swings, children's blocks, candy canes, etc. This proved to be another definite success for the Junior Class. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the l.0.0.F. Hall on May 8 and there was the customary presenta- tion of the cane by the president of the Senior Class, Wayne Terry.

With only five returning lettermenz Spud Crouch, Louis Gilbert, Wayne Terry, Bus Whereat and Tom Martin, Leslie built a team that was weak in experi- ence as well as material, to fight for the reputation that the three previous years had built up. The first game of the season saw the underdog Red Devils bowling over a much heavier and larger Ban- don team i9-14, 26 Riding high after their first vicitory, the Red Men came down to earth with a thud by a l2-7 defeat at the hands of an invading Grizzly l l from Ashland. The Grizzlies were out for revenge after losing to the Coquillers last year in the Lithia City Stadium. Although Coquille out-gained the Bears, Jandreau's 90-yard kick-off return turned the scoring tide in Ashland's favor and they came out with a 5-point lead. As if this wasn't enough humiliation, the Red Devils were downed l3-7 the following week by a strong Bobcat ll from Myrtle Point. Again the locals out-gained and out-played the opponents, but the muffing of two touchdown passes found Coquille trailing at the close of the contest. lContinued on next page.l THE LAUREL ATQAM L04-ut.

Returning from last year's five, the two who made up the nucleus of the '42 team were Eugene Crouch and Duane Terry. Terry, however, was forced to drop basketball early in the season, so the Junior Class stepped in. ln the first practice game, the Red Devils outclassed the Coos River indians in a wild game 24-lB. This game held considerable pre-season importance because Coos River had previously beaten Marshfield 32-i9 and had come within a close score of the champion North Bend quintet. The next games saw the Coquillers traveling to Bandon High to tangle with the Tigers. The first B SQUAD Q. game's score was 88-36, and the second of the series showed a final score of 76-66. ln the first Conference game of the schedule in the Coos district Coquille shellacked the Myrtle Point Bobcats to take the lead in the pennant race for the District 5 championship. This lead was short-lived, however, for the Red Devils lost four games to Marshfield and four games to the boys from Pony Slough, while taking the 'Cats three out of four games, and ending in third spot in the league race. ln the tournament held in the Coquille High School Gymnasium, February 27-28, Coquille lost the first night to North Bend 4l-27, The second night series saw the Devils drop the Consolation Championship, which they have held for five con- secutive years, to the Bobcats from Myrtle Point 29-22. Receiving letters for their participation in basket- ball conference games were Eugene Crouch, Hugh Irvin, Bill Smith, Dick Ray, Glen Goslin, Jerry Butler, Duane Terry, Bud Newton, Bob McCarthy and Tom Martin. 28 THE LAUREL in v Q1- kd. .W i A 1 ' .l .,. 4 gr.. 45 I' al -5 Lv, .4 Crack ir With football and basketball seasons over, Co- quille turns to track, its final major sport of the year.
