fuuirfr Hines flisfvry OFFICERS BOYD HENDRICKS, Pres. KAY LESLIE, Sec'y AVlS RICKETS Rep -Av The class of '43 first entered the portals of Co- quille High just a little green perhaps, but never- theless determined to become one of the best. 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. I9 ' ,6-
