I the EDITOR, BUS., MGR., LAUREL W. SAGE R. MEDLEY L. HANSEN PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF COQUILLE HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD The purpose of this Laurel, like that of those in the past, is to tell the story of a year at Coquille High. This year — together with its classes, activities, highlights and comradeship — we hope will better live in your memory as a result of our effort MRS. RUTH BEYERS As a token of our appreciation for the twenty-four years that she has so generously given of her skills, her time, and her energy for Coquille High we dedicate the 1947 Laurel to Mrs. Beyers.

Caughell, Clerk The community is fortunate in having so fine a group of men and women willing to devote so much time to the welfare of the local schools. On their shoulders rests the responsibility of selecting teachers, planning a school budget, deciding policies of administration, and helping to solve the many school problems which always arise. We appreciate the good job they have done this year. SUPERINTENDENT 1946-1947. marks Mr. Morrison’s third successful year as superintendent for the Coquille system. His genial disposition and pleasant personality have established for him a place in the hearts of all students. PRINCIPAL Mr. James, in his three years of principal-ship, has become a popular figure with the students, with his fairness and his ability for leadership. We hope that he shall continue to be with us for many more years to come. 1 1 i i RUTH BEYERS MARGARETTE CARLSON IMOGENE CUSAC IDYLE A.

JOYCE TAYLOR Freshman Representative ELAINE TRULL Education SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Now is the time for the class of “47” to look back over their four years at Coquille High. The first year at Coquille High, we elected Bud Hickam, President; Fred Vogt, Vice President; Marian Gregory, Secretary, and Bill Sage, Representative. We started participating in the activities and clubs our first year, even though we were “Green Freshmen.” , A year later, after getting a bit more accustomed to the ways of our mighty alma mater, we elected as head of the Sophomore Class, Jack Buckles, with Larry McAllister, Vice President; Roberta Medley, Secretary-Treasurer; Stacy Johnson, Representative. Again we were prominent “activity” students, represented well in sports and clubs. Stacy Johnson, Ken Neely, and Maurice Williams received their letters in football. Then came our first year as “upper-classmen.” This year we elected Marian Gregory, President; Bud Hickam, Vice President; Bonita Miller, Secretary, and Lois Hansen, Representative. Those earning football letters were Bob Dykes, Ken Neely, Maurice Williams, Stacy Johnson, and Jack Buckles. In basketball Bob Schrag, Maurice Williams, Bob Taylor, and Harry Slack earned their letters. We also presented the play. SING FOR YOUR SUPPER, under the direction of Mrs. Beyers, which was a great success. The theme of our Junior Prom was, “Stairway to the Stars, and we chose Moonglow” as the theme for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Now we come to our last year------Seniors! What a wonder- ful word! We elected Ken Neely, President; Bob Schrag, Vice President; Alan Chaney, Secretary; Bob Taylor. Treasurer, and Harry Slack Representative. The mighty Seniors who played football were Bill Sage. Maurice Williams, Harry Slack. Bob Schrag, Bob Taylor, Jack Buckles. Glenn Knight, Ken Neely, John Devereux, Bob Dykes, Ray Kay, Stacy Johnson, Hugh McKinney, John Rankin, and Bill Train. Bob Dykes was chosen on the “All County Team. For basketball there were Harry Slack, Bob Schrag, Maurice Williams. Bob Taylor and Bill Sage In the Girls’ Glee Club we find Laura Emily Ruble. Versie Willis, Betty Foote, Mary Anne Walker, Yvonne Davis, Joyce Benham, Carol Walton. Joyce Munger, Carmen Repass, Marthel-len Tony. Delpha Owen, and Helen Mass. Senior members of the Sextette were Laura Emily Ruble, Yvonne Davis, and Mary Anne Walker. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS CHANEY, NEELY. MRS. WATSON. TAYLOR SCHRAG, SLACK In March came the Senior Ball, a Mexican Fiesta,” complete with flower boats, street stalls, adobe houses, and sombreros. The next highlight was the Junior-Senior Banquet. We decided it was worth waiting twelve years to be honored guests at such a lovely affair. Do you remember CHARLEY’S AUNT? Having once met her, or should I say him?--who could forget! That was a play! Next thing we knew we found ourselves walking in a solemn procession down the aisle of the Methodist Church. Baccalaureate was really an impressive occasion, and made us begin to feel a bit serious. Seriousness, however, had little to do with our Senior picnic, and our Class Day program. Those were two never-to-be-forgotten days. At long last —or was it really long?-----Commencement night actually arrived. Finally we received those pieces of paoer known as diplomas,----those things which prove that we had learned a lot--not all found in books!--and forgotten a great deal more----mostly what is found in books! What will the next twelve years bring us? ?---and what shall we give to them? ALVIN ANGLIN Senior Ball 4, Hi-Times Staff 4. Honor Roll 4, Transfer 4.

What's that? Oh, that’s just Berdie, Harry, Versie, and A1 starting on their trip across the states in one of these new-fangled rockets everybody’s talking about Our first stop is the Petrified Forest where we see our old steadies, Flossie Stocrmcr and Maurice Williams, still petrified about getting married. Berdie is yelling about not getting to see Phil Seeber at Pacific University so I suppose we will also have to stop there. Our next stop is Ray Kny’s cattle ranch in Texas. That reminds us that we would enjoy a nice juicy steak so we are hoping that those two smoothies. Bob Clower and Bob Simpson, (Simp to you), haven’t eaten him out of house and home. Good old Los Angeles, here we come! We have heard that Yvonne Davis, Carol Walton, Delpha Owen, and Betty Hatcher have just returned from a missionary trip to Africa, where they were trying to show how to prepare meals consisting of vitamin pills and food capsules, such as they are now using in the United States. At Tucson we see Ramona Cunningham and her famous beauty salon, noted for its up-sweeps that stay up and its braids that stay braided. No! That can’t be John Devereux cleaning out the cuspidors in front of that saloon. Oh, I see! He owns that one and the rest of them in town. (Saloons, that is!) Well, if it isn’t good old Hoboken, Kalamazoo County, Arkansas. That’s the county jail and what’s that? Why its Lois Hansen, the well known banker. What’s she doing in jail? Oh, an embezzler, eh? Grab him! Don’t let Harry Slack, that loop-hole lawyer try to get her out or she’ll be there forever. Stop this thing quick! Call a doctor! Any doctor! A1 is sick and we--oh, you say one is coming? Who is he? Dr. Sage? Not Bill Sage, our old friend from Co-quille High? Well, call another one quick! A1 isn’t a horse or Versie’s dog, Fifi. Hey, look at that beautiful yacht! I wonder who owns it? You say Joyce Munger and Everett Steward own it and are raising little stewards to beat the labor shortage. As we fly over hill and dale what should we see but an enormous moving van. It seems that our old friend Bonita Miller, who is now first lady of the land, and her three aides, Patty Geaney, Mary Anne Walker, and Laura Emily Ruble, have decided to take a vacation and go to Alaska. They can’t tear themselves away from the Capitol so they arc taking it with them. There’s somebody hitch-hiking but we don’t have room so we can’t take him on. Who is it? Oh, that’s Professor Hugh McKinney, the last word in vocabulary. His glib tongue always enables him to get the last word in. There goes Bartley Carrillo and Richard George who began by hauling kids around in high school nnd who now own a trans-continental railroad. Do you see that beautiful mansion rising in the sky over there? That’s the home of Bob Taylor. He has been living in the clouds ever since he was elected basket ball player of the year. Naturally on this tour we have to stop in Chicago and CLASS OF 1947 see Queenie, Waunda Kintzley, and the Chicago professional football team. Their coach is, of all people. Jack Buckles. It seems that he was coach at Vassar until the women proved too much for him. Oh yes. while we were here in Chicago, we got a letter from Jack Steele, who now owns a copper mine and tin factory. Speaking of sports, last night in Buffalo we had the good misfortune of attending a wrestling match where two of the puga-lists that took part in this contest of brawn and treachery were The Gray Mask,” alias Marthellen Toney and The Yellow Stripe, alias Anna Lee Mannelin. Also who should we see but Ken Neeley, who was acting in the official position as manager and who was also referee. As we fly over Wisconsin we sight a huge ranch that is owned by Walt Scolari and also, might we add, he is the first rancher to produce dehydrated milk straight from, the cow. As we enter the Great Lakes Naval Training Base to hear the R. O. T. C. Band we see Joyce Benham and her fiancee, Glenn Knight. I suppose we should say Commander Knight, U. S. N. Stopping in the Black Hills we visit the famous gold mine which we had heard about in high school from our friend. Bob Schrag. Say! is that Bob running that conveyor belt? Why yes, it is, and since he has invited us home for dinner, we see, upon our arrival, a dainty little wife. Marion Burcher. On our way once more, we stop at the iron ore docks where we find our old classmates, Pat Gibbs, Marian Gregory and Mary Loss, waiting for their ships to come in. The dispersing agent tells us that a ship is due in a few minutes. Deciding to wait for it, we join the throng. We are surprised, as the ship docks, for who do we see, but Joe Bosco, Jack Giffen, and Bud Hickam. There must be a connection between those three girls and these three ship hands. Milwaukee looms ahead of us and being aware of a beer brewery which is located here we feel a strong desire to look over the brewery, — er. I mean-town!! We learn from citizens of the city that Clifton Morgan and Maxine Willson are co-owners of the Sltaz Beer Co. A1 is urging us to stop for a swim in the Great Salt Lake and it doesn’t sound bad to us. Upon landing we are met by Shirley Morgan who directs us to the swimming beach. After our swim we are handed towels by Virginia Pullen who is running the fresh water showers. Hurrying to finish our journey we reach Seattle, hoping to see the much-talked-about arrival of the flying submurine which was invented by Alan Chaney and B ll Train. Time is getting short and although the submarine hasn’t arrived yet we must hurry on to Hollywood, the last lap of our journey. Relaxing at Earl Carroll’s Theatre Restaurant, we enjoy a fine dinner. Now the floor show is beginning. No! It can’t be! My gosh! it is!! Helen Mass, Carmen Repass, and Dorothy Jeffery are the lead girls in the chorus line. Oh yes, along the line somewhere, we can’t remember where, we saw John Rankin, the flea doctor, trying to discover a sure cure for indigestion. Well, twenty years! Our old classmates have turned up in all places and in all professions, but still the same old gang. We recognized them, everyone! n aV a AV Of xv xt fr xr ,-w M fT fT v m p FT PI m .

Winning 3 games and finishing with a tie for second position in the county, the Red Devils played smart ball all season. The 1946 football team consisted largely of 1947 graduates. These eight Seniors, Bob Taylor, Stacy Johnson, Bob Dykes, Maurice Williams, Ray Kay, Glen Knight, Bob Schrag, and Ken Neeley, all with previous experience, made an excellent showing all season. The loss of the seniors will be greatly felt in the games of ’47, but we have a number of underclassmen who have received good training, to take their places. The squad suffered many injuries, some of which crippled our team permanently. Richard Parrish suffered an injured knee, Bob Schrag injured his foot, Bud Buckles picked up a Charlie horse, all in the Marshfield game. Maurice Williams and Ken Neely bashed their heads together in the Myrtle Point fracas which put them out of the scramble. Jim Clark wrenched his back in practice, which put him on the bench for a couple of games. Probably the worst injury of the season was that of Ken Neely, who broke his ankle during practice; this put him in the hospital for four days and out of play for the remainder of the season. Injuries played a big role in the loss of our county championship game with Myrtle Point. 3 3 • ■' 3 3 3 3 3 ■ - ; ■ ; 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ' years No. Position experience weight 5 Harry Slack forward 2 160 6 Maurice Williams guard 3 200 7 Bob Taylor guard 4 155 8 Cliff Billings forward 3 165 10 Bob Schrag guard 3 155 11 Bill Sage center 1 170 back: Coach Enoch Jungling John Devereux Bill Sage Bob Taylor Jim Bellmore Bob Kuenzli (mgr.) front: Cliff Billings Bob Schrag Don Pierce Maurice Williams Harry Slack A SQUAD Basketball this year saw a smart coach come into the scene, Coach Noc Jungling. He was graduated from Linfield College in 1946, after finishing his army career. This year saw the return of four lettermen: Bob Schrag. Harry Slack, Maurice Williams, and Bob Taylor. After much rearranging, Noc finally filled out the five positions with Bob Taylor, Bob Schrag, and Maurice Williams, alternating as guards, Harry Slack and Cliff Billings forwards, and Bill Sage center. Other members of the quad, most of which came from the B Squad, were: Don Pierce, Jim Bellmore. John Devereux, Wilbur Reed, Bud Buckles, and Kenneth Cusic. These boys received valuable experience throughout the season and will make our future team. As to the season’s record we cannot do any bragging, but we can say the team was fighting all the time and never let down a second. Four pre-season games were won at the beginning of the year, while in the league race we lost all except the final game of the season with the Reedsport Braves. In this game the Devils, making up for last time, held a 33 to 13 half-time edge over the Braves. This year, as in football, we suffered crippling injuries on the team losing Bob Schrag, who broke his leg in a Myrtle Point game, and Harry Slack who re-injured his bad ankle in another Bobcat game. 3 ? ? 9 9 back: Coach Enoch Jungling Bob Macdonald Jim Kay Warren Jenkins Don Cochran Kenneth Cusic Bus Oerding George Litzenberger (mgr.) front: Wayne Timmons Keith Johnson Wilbert Reed Bud Buckles Bob Geaney Jim Clark B SQUAD Consolation for the poor A-Squad season was the B Squad’s fine record. Under the guidance of Coach Jungling. they won many a game for themselves, playing heads up ball every game. Next year, the Sophomores on the team, having had valuable experience, will build the A Squad. The Sophomores were Wayne Timmons. Keith Johnson, Jim Clarke, Bob Geaney, Bob Macdonald, and Warren Jenkins. Representing the freshmen, we have Don Cochran, Bill Martindale, Buzz Oerding, and Jim Kay. As you know, the B Squad isn't a team whose winnings can help in district or league ratings, but is for the training of future A Squad Players. All the boys forming the B Squad played in most of the games. If any honors are to be won for the school, the A Squad is the only possible team to do it, and through the experience the players receive on the B Squad, this is made possible. This year’s track turnout was very inspiring. Several lettermen returned to bolster the “47” squad. These boys were Ray Kay, half miles; Bill Train, miler; Richard Parrish, dash and field events; Bob Taylor, Century expert; and Bob Schrag, High Jumper. Besides the group of lettermen a large number of Freshmen and Seniors came out for practice. Two Seniors, John Rankin and Alan Chaney, have shown outstanding ability in the sprints and pole-vault, respectively. The Coquille Relays were held on April 12; the Hayward Relays, April 19; Coquille-Marshfield Dual meet, April 26; County meet, May 3; District meet. May 10, and the State meet the 16th and 17th of May. ■ - ' - ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ' ■ ■ - ' ■ ■ ■ r v ’47 Basketball Champs ’46 Volleyball Champs ’46 Softball Champs INTRAMURAL SPORTS Inter-class rivalry this year was exceedingly strong. Most of the class teams (Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball) were evenly matched throughout the year. Volleyball and Softball were under the direction of Mr. Snider, while Basketball was under the direction of our new coach, Mr. Jungling. Volleyball saw the seniors take top honors without a loss. Basketball had the keenest competition as yet. The Juniors finally pulled through with first place. Softball is just half through, with the Juniors ahead with a perfect 100 per cent. The Seniors are second with 666 2 3 per cent. The Sophomores have split with 500 per cent and the Freshmen haven’t won as yet. j1 r r jy jy p n rr n n if Organizations ALICE GAROUTTE WAUNDA KINTZLEY MARIAN GREGORY SHIRLEY MORGAN ROBERTA MEDLEY LOIS HANSEN FLORENE STOERMER CLUB PEP Coquille High School was well represented this year by the Pep Club, consisting of the seven pepsters and the three yell leaders. Election to the Pep Club is an honor. To be eligible, a girl must have a scholastic average of 3 or better. This group held pep assemblies during the year, sold programs and pom-poms at the games, and was a big factor in creating enthusiasm at all times. The Pepsters outfits were very outstanding; white sweaters worn with white skirts, on which the words, COQUILLE RED DEVILS” were spelled out in red letters, together with their “Red Devil hats made a most attractive ensemble. Later in the year, during basketball season, the girls varied their costumes, wearing white sweaters with red pleated skirts. New pep routines were added to their repertoire this year. While the pep band played their feature, Beer Barrel Polka, the girls formed in succession, the letters C. H. S., twirling during the formation. This was an interesting variation to their regular routine. Leatha Troudt, Carol Gray, and Preston Willis made an unusually attractive yell team. The girls were dressed in red corduroy skirts and jerkins, while Preston was dressed in white. This team directed many new yells and routines, besides working with the pepsters in “pepping up our rooting section. C CLUB One of the most prominent organizations in Coquille High School this year was the C Club. In order to become a member of this exclusive club a boy must earn a letter in football, basketball, or track. Some of the varied activities in which the C Club participated were the C Club dance, the building of ping pong tables for the school, the C Club picnic, C Club assembly, and Christmas tree sale.

The regular monthly meetings consist of music, skits, and stunts planned and produced by the program committee. In addition to these programs, several movies, centered around grooming, clothing, foods, and other phases of homemaking and personality development, were enjoyed. The girls worked faithfully at basketball and football games to raise the money with which to finance some special activities. The outstanding activities this year were a Halloween dance for the entire student body, the preparation of thanksgiving boxes for the needy, a play presented for an assembly program, a program and tea for the eighth grade girls and the annual tea given for the mothers and women teachers. They also made a contribution to aid the school for the Blind. Council members are elected at mid-term and serve for one year.

There has been much improvement in playing, marching, and in the size of the band since Mr. Withncll's return from the service. Led by its three eye-catching majorettes, it exhibits its color and rhythm wherever it performs. This year the band participated in the annual Band Festival at Myrtle Point and traveled to Ashland to take part in the annual Southwestern Music Festival. The band, in need of new instruments, sponsored the R.O.T.C. Band Concert from Oregon State. From the proceeds of this concert it has now added a base horn, a piccolo, and two small drums. This is one of the most popular activities in the school and not only offers an opportunity for excellent music training but a lot of fun as well. PEP BAND The Pep Band is the newest organization in Coquille High School. It is composed of twenty members from the senior band. The purpose of this organization is to help create added pep and spirit at basketball games and pep assemblies. There will be tryouts each fall for the Pep Band, which makes it an additional honor to strive for.

They have been contracted to play at the Teen Age Club besides the many school functions for which they play regularly. They have proven themselves to be one of the most outstanding organizations in school. There are nine members: CHUCK HANNA BOB WYLIE FLORENE STOERMER ELDON CHOWNING JIM BROWN WALDO BROWN BILL VOGT JOANNE SAVAGE BUD HICKAM Trumpet . Trumpet Saxophone Saxophone Saxophone Trombone Trombone Piano Drums GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Under the capable direction of Mr. Harold Withnell, the Girls’ Glee Club has increased in quantity as well as quality. They have entertained several civic organizations throughout the year. One of the most important functions in which they participated was the Christmas program. They journeyed to Ashland to the Southwestern Oregon Music Festival on April 25 and on April 30 they presented a vocal concert in conjunction with “Open House.” DOUBLE SEXTETTE The Girls’ Double-Sextette has been a credit to the Music Department, singing at many community entertainments as well as at school affairs. The members of this group must win their places by voice try-outs. Only twelve can win! Members are: Rose Lee Arnett, Kathlene Brockman, Yvonne Davis, Frances Ann Kbrn, Laura Emily Ruble, Jeannette Stone, Mary Anne Walker, Betty Wasson, Susan Wasson, Doris Willard, Lila Danielson and Mary Miller. CAMERA CLUB Very few schools in the state of Oregon are privileged to have a camera club with its own nicely equipped dark room. Our Camera Club was organized in September, 1941, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Beyers, who has been the adviser during its entire existence. During that time meetings have been held regularly after school each Wednesday afternoon, with programs dealing with the various phases of photography. The Club darkroom was built and equipped through the efforts of the members who sponsored money-raising activities to pay for it. During the last two years finances have been aided by the sale of Coquille High School” pencils. The club has held several snapshot contests for its members and one big all-school contest each year. Present officers of the club are: president, Patty Geaney; vice-president, Nancy Godard, and secretary-treasurer, Janice Lafferty. Members are Patty Geaney, Maxine Willson. Bill Anderson. Clara Stonecypher, Nancy Godard, Barbara Davidson. Marilyn McCulloch, Merle Anderson, Elaine Trull, Helen Carver, Nellie Chormicle, Dorothy Chormicle, Janice Lafferty, Pat Malone, Virginia Corrie. Lecrissa Gvvillam. Donna Reed, Carolyn McNecl, Karlene Mattson, Jim Brown, and Buford Swanson. BOYS’ QUARTETTE Under the direction of Mr. Harold Withnell, the Boys’ Quartette has become one of the most active organizations around school, singing at several downtime functions as well as school affairs. Members are: Jim Bcllmore, Glenn Knight. Chuck Hanna, and Vernon Brockman. Co i e Home- To Thsf Activities LAUREL The Laurel Staff is selected by the editor from students who volunteer for the work. Each year brings its problems, and this year our biggest headache was the increased cost of production; thanks to hard-working business managers and big-hearted business people, we managed to finance it! The staff members collected data, took pictures, collected pictures that others had taken, wrote and re-wrote (and wrote again!) and typed and typed and typed! It was a lot of work but we enjoyed it and wouldn't have missed it for anything. Selected for this year’s staff by Editor Bill Sage were: Assistant Editor ....... SALLY HONNEY Business Managers .

This three-act comedy, by Brandon Thomas, was first presented in 1892. in London, and has pleased audiences all over the world since that time. The play was produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Publisher, in the middle of May. Directed by Mrs. Cadman. the story revolves around the impersonation of Charley’s Aunt, by one of Charles’ chums. When Charley's real Aunt appears the fun really begins. This year, as an addition to the school’s activities, several assembly programs, sponsored by the various classes and clubs, were presented throughout the year. First of these was the Senior Class Assembly. They presented a very enjoyable one-act play HIS FIRST SHAVE, which was the story of a teen-age boy and his troubles. Next came the Soph, program, which consisted of several specialties done very nicely by some talented soph, and held together by that brilliant? MC? Bob Macdonald. The Girls' League presented a pathetic melo-drama, HEARTS AND FLOWERS, or, CURSES, THE VILLAIN IS FOILED, which abounded in noble heroes, villainous villains, and sweet, SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES sweet girls just like the kind that married dear old dad—or maybe it was grand-dad! The C Club then presented their hilarious caricature of scenes around Coquille High, featuring, “How to Become a Lady, by Mrs. Maurice Price Williams and Judy Taylor. The Juniors gave the most elaborate program of the year in their burlesque of a burlesque show, complete with can-can girls and blackface. Using a Quiz program as a theme, the Hi-Times presented a very amusing assembly with the losers taking the consequences through the compliments of Dime-a-Light Cigarettes, Kiss-Me Lipstick and Death Boy Soap. Miscellany OFFICE STAFF The office girls working with the school secretary, Margarette Carlson, have carried the burden of routine office tasks for the high school efficiently and cheerfully. They have spent many busy hours typing correspondence and school bulletins, working on office records, and checking attendance lists in addition to answering the telephone, taking messages and running errands for the faculty. While they have gained valuable experience in office procedure from this work, they have given invaluable aid to the high school administration with their willing and cooperative efforts: This year these girls are: PATTY GEANEY CARMEN REPASS BONITA MILLER ROBERTA MEDLEY WAUNDA KINTZLEY LEATHA TROUDT JOYCE BENHAM RAMONA CUNNINGHAM FLORENE STOERMER CAROL GRAY Members SHIRLEY LAIRD CLIFTON MORGAN BOB CLOWER DARREL CROSSLER JACK BUCKLES WALTER SCOLARI MR.

Adviser KEN NEELY (absent) JOHN DEVEREUX (absent) GENERAL MECHANICS The group of boys belonging to Mr. Snider’s General Mechanics class have very fittingly earned the title of Trouble Shooters for Coquille High. They have contributed a total of better than 800 man hours to various school construction jobs, such as athletic equipment, stage craft, cabinet making, painting and general repair jobs for the betterment of the school. Good workmen and good sports! If they can’t fix it, it just can’t be fixed. ' ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■' ' ; ! The student body enjoyed the series of programs presented by National Assemblies, an organization which sends first-class entertainers to schools all over the country. Happy Holly arrived on September 24 to keep the school in an uproar for nearly an hour with his imitations of people, places and things. On Nov. 22, came the Noveltiers, Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor —and don’t forget the dogs! Mr. O’Connor performed juggling stunts and did tricks of balance on a bicycle that left you wondering why you ever thought you had learned to ride one. Mrs. O’Connor presented a group of trained dogs who walked a tight rope, rolled a barrell, danced—in fact, they did almost everything except read and write. THE RIVER OF NO RETURN, a colored movie of their own experiences on a trip down that river, was presented by Dr. and Mrs. Christian on Jan. 13. The Mississippians, a colored quartet, entertained on February 6. This was an outstanding program of spirituals and humorous songs. Bobo the Magician mystified all with his Miracles of Modern Magic on March 6—-of course he had to call on some students to help him out. The series was concluded by Emilene Bogue, a clever monologist, who presented the one-act play, A WOMAN’S WORLD, portraying all seven of the characters herself. September— 3— School begins!
