History r rs 1 DICK RAY, Pres- KAY LESLIE, seay WILTON wiLLEY Rep The Senior Class of 1943 takes pride in presenting to you the outstanding events of their four years in Coquille High School. Their high school career began with the election of class officers. Those chosen to represent the Freshman class were: President, Charles Walker, Vice President, Wilton Willey, Secretary, Bernice Campbell, and Representative, Dick Ray. They were well represented in football by Bob McCarthy and John Mulvihill. The Freshmen who won basketball acclaim were: Bob McCarthy, Eugene Davis, Dick Ray, Leo Backman, and Glen Gosline, all of whom did a very good job on the championship B Squad. Starting out their Sophomore year, they placed well in every field. The Sophomore Class was under the guidance of Miss Lunelle Chapin who brought them through stormy weather and in to port. Those chosen to head the class were: Doris Ann Wood, President, Bob Kline, Vice President, Verene Bailey, Secretary-Treasurer, and Dick Ray, Representative. Again there were a large number of boys out for sports. Tom Martin was the only boy making a letter in football. But Bob McCarthy, Hugh lrvin, Glen Gosline, Tom Martin, Dick Ray, Alvin Hickam, and Frank Beyers won honors for the class by playing basketball on the B Squad. With the Sophomore class over and two more years ahead of them, they were already beginning to show their leadership and cooperation in the school. Having attained the title of Juniors, the class, determined to live up to the honor of a very out- standing group, showed excellent cooperation and school spirit throughout the entire year, Their first move towards fame and success came when they pre- sented the Junior play, Don't Keep Him Waiting , on November 28 in the High School Gymnasium. This play, directed by Mrs. Ruth Beyers, was a finan- cial success as well as a dramatic success. The able and efficient officers who were elected to head the Junior class were: Boyd Hendrix, President, Betty Emery, Vice President, Kay Leslie, Secretary, Verene Bailey, Treasurer, and Avis Ricketts, Class Represen- tative. Then, to add to their many outstanding activ- ities, they presented the Junior Dance which was a complete success, and enabled them to entertain the Seniors of 1942 at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 8th. This completed their Junior year and MAY, 1943 again the class of 1943 proved to be a bigger and better class, Finally, in the fall of 1942, they were known around school as the Mighty Seniors of C. H. S. Havinq this new-found dignity of Seniors, they knew they must try harder than ever to be successful in all they attempted to do. Dick Ray was elected to head the Senior class, and with the able assistance of Tom Martin, Vice President, Kay Leslie, Secretary- Treasurer, and Wilton Willey as class representa- tive, put over a prosperous year. Everyone enjoyed themselves, dancing to the strains of White Christ- mas , the theme of the Senior Ball. Seniors who managed Student Body affairs were: Boyd Hendrix, President, Gerry Howell, Secretary, Doris Ann Wood, Treasurer, and Marilyn Sage, Inter-class Rivalry Chairman. The annual Senior play, held on April 16th in the high school gym, was a mystery play entitled Midnight and proved to be a huge success. The Seniors were well represented in the band this year by Gerry Howell, LaVerne Barrette, Dick Greg- ory, Jack McCracken, Wally Moore, Mary Borel, Bob Kline, and Janice Osterhout. The class of 1943 proved to be another class with outstanding athletic abilities, Fighting on the Red Devil gridiron were: Wally Moore, Alvin Hickam, Boyd Hendrix, Tom Martin, Bob McCarthy, Bob Kline, Jack McCracken, and Wilfred Wasson. This year's first five on the basketball team were made up entirely of Seniors. They were Glen Gosline, Dick Ray, Bob McCarthy, Bill Mineau, and Tom Martin. Others winning basketball acclaim were Bob Kline, LeRoy Aasen and Hugh Irvin. ln football, Tom Mar- tin and Jack McCracken received the honor of being on the All-County team. Dick Ray was chosen for the All-County basketball team. The boys who turned out for track this year were Jack McCracken, Wilton Willey, Wally Moore, and Tom Newton. As the usual climax to the year's social entertain- ment the class elected Jerry Howell as May Queen to rule over the annual May Day Dance held at the Community Building. Her attendants were Marilyn Sage, Kay Leslie, Betty Emery, Doris Ann Wood, Avis Ricketts, and Marybelle Yarbrough. On May 19, 1943, the Seniors were graduated with Kay Leslie and LaVerne Barrette as speakers, and with regret and anticipation concluded their four-year careers at Coqui Ile High. 9 3-G Qs: an 'E r fb ff? 5 fb l C' LE ROY AASEN Honor Roll l, Football 3-4, Basket- ball 3-4, lntra-rnural Sports l-2- 3-4, Hobby Club 3.

WINIFRED VAN FLEET, Sec'y JIM PEART, Rep lf there is truth in the old saying safety in num- bers , the Junior class of '43 was certainly safe when it entered ye olde Coquille, but now it has the least number of members of any class in the school. As freshmen, they handed the gavel to Jim Howe and let him handle their executive affairs. In the sophomore year they elected Jim Peart to preside over the class and under his leadership won the lnter- Class Rivalry cup. Upon becoming upper classmen lalthough the Seniors dispute thisl , Fred Kuntz was elected president. Through their sophomore and Junior years the class advisor was Miss Mary Virginia Morris. When the Hi-Times was issued one could find articles by Barbara Barrows, Editor, Jessie Sherwood, Ass't Editor, Dorothy Beagle, Glenda Richardson, Virginia Lindsay, Feature Writers, and Maxine Whereat, Jeanne Boyle, Reporters. Girls who helped compose the Girls' League Coun- cil were: Barbara Barrows, Junior Representative and President, Dorothy Beagle, Point Chairman, Jessie Sherwood, Secretary, and Orpha Marney, Junor Rep- resentative. Arguing in the Forum Discussion Group were Andrew Briner, Louise Butler, and Dorothy Beagle. ln Student Body affairs they were represented by Jim Howe, Vice Pres., Orpha Marney, Assistant Treasurer, and Jim Peart, Representative. MAY, l943 When the football team raced out on the field, only one Junior could be detected. The sole football letterman was Jim Howe. The Juniors who made their letters in basketball this year were Frank Woodward and Ben Barton. The Juniors cooperating with Mr. Withnell in the ultra school band are: Jim Peart, trombone, Phil- lip Clausen, clarinet, Ben Barton, clarinet, and Ann Anderson, clarinet. Ding How means very good in Chinese and that is just what the Junior Prom was. On March l2, stu- dents came prepared to have a good time at the Chinatown Ball . With Rudy's Orchestra providing the musical background, students trucked along a street in Chinatown. The members of the class of '44 upheld their rep- utation for doing things in a big way by presenting the play, The Great Ben Allah on December 4, and making it a decided success under the direction of Miss Morris. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the l.0.0.F. hall on an earlier date than usual because of the beginning of meat reationing. There was the customary presentation of the cane by the Senior class president to the Junior class president, and the banquet was followed by a dance. Coming into their own next year as mighty Seniors , the class of '44 anticipate a worthy climax to their three active years within the portals of Coquille High.

Its ex- treme modesty prevents it from accentuating this to any great degree. Attention is called, however, to a few things which will substantiate this claim. It possesses the largest percentage of Sophomores ever to play in the C. H. S. Band. They are: Trum- pets, Claire Gray, Don Minard, Jackie Hansen, Saxo- phone, Jim Bunch, Flute, Vera Bishop, Drums, Woodrow Howell, Trombone, Gerald Ulett, Clari- nets, Betty Preston, Waneta Wardrip, Sherman Gregory, Pat Thomas, Earl Benham, Jack Axtell, and Phyllis Litzenberger. A phenomena is the fact that this class has had the same president for five consecutive years. Hav- ing lead for three years in Junior l-ligh, Jack Stevens is now serving his second year in high school as the prexy of the cass of '45, 22 Officers for last year and this are as follows: Jack Stevens ....,. President ...... Jack Stevens Claire Gray ..,.... Vice-Pres. . . .George Eckholm Jean Griggs ...,... Secretary ....... Ariel Crook Gerald Ulett .... Representative .,... Claire Gray Those in the Forum Discussion Group are Jim Bunch and Phyllis Litzenberger. The Inter-Class Yell Contest was won by the Sophomores, which shows their superlative school spirit. Those out for football this year were Gerald Ulett, Harold Train, Joe Stone, and Jack Stevens. Of these Gerald Ulett attained a letter. ln basketball the Sophomores were represented by Claire Gray, who won a letter, Jack Axtell, Everett Willard, Harold Train, and Jack Stevens. The Sophomore advisor is Mrs. Kranick, who has given not only her time but her patience in helping the class to gain any fame which it may have earned through the course of its second year in high school. THE LAUREL 912 hmm Glass The Freshman class of l943 is the largest class in school and every member has taken an active part in school affairs under the guidance of its advisor, Mrs. Kemp. President-elect is Bill Kistner, Vice-President, Eulia McCracken, Secretary, Geraldine Oerding, and Representative, Bob Alborn. The Initiation Dance headed-the list on the social calendar and confirmed all of the Freshmen's ex- pectations. This class has an outstanding record already in school sports. David Kline, George Hurst, Floyd DeNoma, Bob Alborn, and Homer Anderson re- ceived letters in football which proved their capa- bility. ln basketball season, Bud Meek, Floyd De- Noma, David Kline, Tom Boots, and Myron Haga MAY, l 943 played on the B Squad. Floyd DeNoma and Bud Meek received letters for performance in the county varsity Basketball Tournament. Geraldine Oerding, clarinet, Eulia McCracken, clarinet, Noble Chowning, clarinet, Jerry White, bass horn, Homer Anderson, bass horn, Bud Meek, trumpet, and Bob Simpson, trumpet, represented their class in the Coquille High Band. The Spanish Club, Home Ec. Club, Camera Club, Laurel Staff, Hi-Times Staff and Honor Society all claim members belonging to class of '46. After one year within the portals of Coquille High, the Freshman class is looking forward to doing its share in the future to keep up the Red Devil standards and win recognition for its members. 23 9925 J at Sd ,as 'Y 5, E on snow, ,IWW IA? xl 'C comm 5 :Tum I-irweh, K ff . shi, Kgiyfgl ne gL,?f 1am ' A D1 yo U sais' Q V! 35 Lv wg Ve 173 All f?D WY!

The lettermen were Tom Martin and Al l-lickam, ends, Red lrvin, a back, and Snapper Moore, the center. This year's team lacked both weight and experience. To make up for the lightness, Spike introduced a new offense, the famous T formation. The first game was with Myrtle Point on the Red Devil's turf. The first half was a nip and tuck affair with the Bobcats getting a break on a pass inter- ception which put them in scoring territory and they drove it over. The second half the Devils, tired and outweighed, were pushed back for a second Bobcat tally and the game ended l2 to O. In the second game with North Bend, the Red Devils trailed I2 to O at half time. The second half, the Bulldogs pushed over two touchdowns and the locals hit pay dirt once. The score was North Bend 24, Coquille 7. 26 The next game with the State Champs from Marshfield saw the Red Devils play a bang-up first half which ended 6 to O in favor of the Pirates, their tally coming from a pass interception. The second half gave the Red Devils, outweighed 25 lbs. to a man, the boot, and the Pirates rolled to a 32 to 6 victory. In the last game of the season on Armistice Day with Myrtle Point, the revenge-bent Devils wal- loped the Bobcats l4 to 7. On their first play of the game, a long pass from Howe to Martin gave the Devils a score. Then fleetfooted Zeke McCracken galloped 86 yards to a second Coquille tally. Myrtle Point pushed over a touchdown just before the half ended. The second went scoreless and Coquille wound up the l942 season in a tie for third place. W L Pct.

They did, however, show two flashes of glory, once a thrilling 29 to 24 victory over Myrtle Point and a 25 to i9 upset over the Marshfield Pirates. Dick Ray placed on both the All-County and the All-Tournament tirst teams.

The plot revolves around Ben Allen and Ruth Al- drich who are in love, and Ruth's fanatic mother who doesn't seem to want the marriage to take place. At this particular time Mrs. Aldrich and her bosom friend, Mrs. Shyler Van Shuler, are engrossed in the study of spiritualism. Bobbie, Mrs. Aldrich's un- married sister, comes to the rescue when Ben an- nounces his intention of taking the bull by the horns and demanding that Mrs. Aldrich let them marry, with a plan to have Ben and his friend Ed Weston pose as spiritualists and win Mrs. Aldrich's favor. Ben and Ed arrive and are transformed into The Great Ben Allah and his assistant Notsew . 'As Mrs. Van Shuler is skeptical, the great Ben Allah gives a demonstration of hypnotism on the butler and by some turn of fate actually hypnotizes-him into thinking he is a dog. 40 A seance is held with eerie lights and voices lsup- plied by Notsewl and Mrs. Aldrich is so affected that she faints. To cure her of this fancy of spiritualism the rest of the family and friends pretend she is dead and tell sorrowfully of how they miss her. This so frightens the poor woman that she takes on an in- tense hatred of spiritualism and demands that Ben Allah and Notsew leave. After various explanations, however, the lovers receive her mother's consent to marry and live happily ever after. The cast consists ofthe following: Ruth Aldrich ,................... .....

The story of the play is as follows: On New Year's Eve, wealthy dowager Julia Greenwood takes refuge against the noise and confusion of a party being held at her city home by her niece, in a mysterious old house left her in the will of her uncle. Expecting to find it deserted, she discovers her lawyer searching for a secret room and from that time, her hope for peace is futile for she is interrupted by a wisecrack- ing girl reporter and a news photographer of doubt- ful energy, her niece and fiance who had come earlier in the evening for a scavenger hunt article and sus- picious, have returned, and finally by a mysterious visitor and his companion who has been the victim of an alleged accident. The heart interest is supplied by Miss Greenwood's maid and the man who arouses curiosity by entering and leaving the revealed secret MAY, 1943 room intermittently, and the comedy by the dow- ager's chauffeur. After discovering that the ques- tionable stranger is an enemy agent and the secret room an entrance to a government laboratory, it is revealed that the photographer is a federal man who was protecting the interests of the three men who have been inventing a new explosive for the United States.

THE LAUREL fr'-1 'fc Q i 5 L. . ..STrzfWar Now, in our country s second year of war, Coquille High School, as every school and college in America, is all-out in working toward victory. Every student is doing something, however small, to help bring about the final peace in which the last generation failed. These new duties have been: collecting scrap for the National Scrap Metal Drive, salvaging old rubber and paper from all over the community in answer to the government's call, spending watchful hours in the look-out tower as aircraft spotters, building scale model planes to be used in training men for the Air Forces, taking first aid courses, buying War Bonds to keep production lines rolling, planting victory gardens, training themselves for warfare emergen- cies, and innumerable others, Pictured on this page are some of these activities and those who have partaken of them. Above is the Air Raid Precaution Squad, in charge of the safe evacuation of the school in case of emergency, and be-low, those who have given their time and energy as active members of the Salvage Drive Committee. 1 sL.
