c?h o X7w Published by the ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF COQUILLE HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATION To the Coquille High School we know we proudly dedicate, this the 1952 edition of the Laurel. The class of 1952 will have memories, both tearful and joyful, of the four years spent in Coquille high school. Countless numbers of former students owe what they are today to the way in which their time was spent within its walls. Now that future students will have the benefit of a new building, we hope the traditions that have been made here will be carried on and the old Coquille spirit will not die, but will flourish and grow in its new surroundings.

A new member is elected bv residents of the district each year so there are always lour experienced members on the board. Their principal duties are to provide facilities for the schools and to set school policy. These policies are carried out bv the Superintendent and Principal with the aid ot the teachers. Problems ol construction in the Co-quille School District 8C were of primary concern this year to the five members of the district s board and its administrators. I he anticipation ol moving the high school into new quarters next fall meant that all meetings were, at least in part, focused on details of construction. The hoard meets even7 second Monday ol the month and often, as occasion demands, special meetings are called by its chairman who, this year, is Craig Perrott.

GODARD Principal's secretory Seniors of 1952 take this opportunity to remind the underclassmen that the lour years spent at Coquille high pass all too quickly and once on the threshold of life the people who have helped prepare you for the next step fill your thoughts with kind and sober memories. The faculty represents these people who, at Coquille High, assist and guide the students in their academic and extra-curricular activities. In the four years at the J school students have been urged to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in discussing and exchanging ideas with their teachers. The record that the class of 1952 has made is now written in the ledgers kept by Time. Erasures cannot be made, but the assistance and guidance given its members by the Coquille high school faculty will long be remembered. We wish wed taken better advantage of it. Thanks. S T U D E N T COUNCIL Work was the keyword for Coquille high school s student council this year as it took over the duties of the city council for one day, spearheaded a school magazine drive, and sponsored two student dances to earn money for council projects. Jesse Thurman, business manager, was chairman of the magazine drive that netted the school approximately $200. The money will be spent for a worthy school project. In October the Coquille student council sent representatives to the District No. 5 student council convention at Rose burg. Making the trip were Bob Groves, Pete Harvey, Ed Howe, Jesse Thurman, Ve-lita Batty, Joan Gauer, and Pat Detlefsen.

The Red Devils started the season with a 13-0 defeat at the hands of the North Bend Bulldogs. The Red Devils then came baek bv defeating the Sutherlin eleven to a tune of 52-0. After getting one taste of victory, Coquille surged on to down Myrtle Creek 37-6 and obtain a 40-7 win over Central Point. The next three to fall in the wake of the rampaging boys of Spike Leslie were the Ashland Grizzlies, 27-0, Bandon 1 igers, 44-0, and the Myrtle Point Bobcats 31-0. I he Red Devils then faced the supreme test of keen competition by proceeding in overpowering the Marshfield Pirates 26-20, thus, giving Coquille top honors in the county grid classic. 1 he Coquille eleven journeyed to Eugene to play University High in the first game of the State play-offs which the Red Devils took 20-6. This gave them a berth in the State Quarter-finals, against the most highly rated team in the state. Grants Pass. On I hanksgiving Day Spike Leslie led his boys to Cave Man Town lor the Quarter-final tilt where the Red Devils bowed out 48-14. With only twelve returning lettermen, August prospects looked dim. But much to the surprise of many, the Red Devils, under the coaching of E. E. (Spike) Leslie, with assistance from Bert Burr and Jim Bartelt, turned into a championship football team which will leave a record behind it that can bring pride to the people of Coquille.

JUNIOR VARSITY n 1 he Junior Varsity showed distinctive improvement even though their win and loss record was not impressive. The bovs are still in the learning stage and are expected to look very g(xxl in a couple of years. I he outstanding player of the J. V. squad was Johnnv DeMain who led the field in scoring, and the most inspired on defense was Paul Clayton, with Butch Miller showing varsity material in the line. 1 he record for the J. V. season was two wins and four losses. The highlight of the year was the defeat of Marshfield J. V.’s by the score of 14-12 at the hands of Burt Burr’s hard-hitting junior Red Devils. 1 he squad was composed of 38 players of which 30 finished the season showing fiery interest and high spirit. The boys were well coached on fundamentals, so we are expecting great things from this J. V. squad when they grow into Red Devils.

I lighlight ot the season came when the Red Devils tripped the North Bend Bulldogs twice in the final round of county league play. I he Red Devils, under the coaching of Jim Bartelt, tallied 1096 points for the season while their opponents hit 1056 which gave Coquille 48.5 points per game and opponents 48 points per event. Len Scolari was high man with 328 points. The record shows that Coquille tripped Myrtle Point three out of four times and split four games with North Bend. Marshfield defeated the Red Devils in lour encounters but in the second meeting of the Red Devils and the Pirates the latter had to fight down a seven point Coquille lead to win 53-52. Coquille s top score was 74 and was earned against Myrtle Point while the all time low score was 26 which can lx? accounted to Ashland’s weaving zone defense. Highest tally made against the Red Devils was the long 70 count of Marshfield. 1 he county loop standings placed Coquille in third place, North Bend second and Marshfield first. Coquille narrowly missed a second place tie with the Bulldogs, but a complete reverse of Myrtle Point tactics in the final game of the season gave the Red Devils seven lost, five won record in the county. Lettermen for Bartelt were Ed Howe, Len Scolari, Bill Willard, Don Laird, Doug Ostrander, Larry Blum, seniors; Bob Swinnev, junior; and Alan Dungey, sophomore.

Erick Ericksen played the part of Newton Fuller, the city dweller, who was supported by as fine a group of amateur theatrical fans as ever graced the stage ol Coc|uille high school. Ruth Keeney, his wife, was lovable in her sometimes discouraging way, while Lyndel Finley as Mr. Kimber, the handy man, brought in plenty of laughs with his downright plain philosophy. Surprise element to the play came when Frank Christensen, playing the loquacious uncle complete with handlebar moustache, disclosed that he went broke in the crash of 1929 and had been living under false pretenses ever since. 1 he play was directed by Win Kelley whose chores were divided between the acting and the stage production which called for rain, thunder, soot coming down the chimney plus countless other details of importance to the success of the play. Dona 1 lancock was stage manager.

The evening of March 12 was a gala one for the Juniors as they placed themselves behind the steady, skilllul acting of Jim 1 lollcn-beak and the excellent directing of Mr. Win Kelley to produce a galaxy of laughter from the stage play that was later adapted into a movie, “Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Hollcnbeak played the part of a prizefighter who was taken to heaven prematurely and later released into the body of a financier. His exploits until reaching the covering of another prizefighter rounded out the comedy and thrills ol the junior class play. Maintaining supporting parts were Ed Atkinson as the fight manager who kept protecting his 40 percent of Hollcnbeak; Johnny Clayton as Mr. Jordan, the man responsible for finding the fighter a suitable covering; Sally Jeffrey, messenger 7013, who caused the trouble; and Marcia Mauney, who provided the love interest. Stage manager of the production was Colleen Brinkley. SENIOR PLAY CAST From left to right): Velito Batty, Ed Howe, Eric Ericksen, Stan Roady, Gerald Danielson, Lois Sell Lvnd«� l Don Laird.

Spike Lesl ies dream of a track team looked slim, but he gained prospects for the future as thirtv-five thinclads turned out for the spring sport. For the first time in Coquille’s history of 1 rack the Red Devils had a state champion on their roster. 1 his was Ed Howe who topped all comers in the high jump in the 1951 state meet at Eugene. I le swooped over the bar at six feet one and one half inches to bring home the trophy. I he Cindermen opened the 52 season with a triangular meet at Roseburg. Here the weather had hindered early track practice and the bovs trailed after Roseburg and Myrtle Point. But the will to win was displayed and future meets told a more favorable story. Coquille was represented at the Willamette Relays by Ed 1 lowe and Len Scolari. The ’52 squad was composed of veterans Ed 1 lowe, Len Scolari, Frank Christensen, Pete 1 larvev, Jim 1 lollenbeak, Larrv Blum, Ed Atkinson, Jess Thurman, Don Laird, and Bob Rowland. The Coquille Relays were held April 12, at Marshfield where all the boys participated. Spike Leslie’s boys journeyed to the Roseburg Invitational and preceding district meets.

Yes it’s true, all the hard work of the seniors of 1952, has sent their ad iser to heaven. A dreamy look comes into her eyes as a small dirty faced angel, rushed noislv past, knocking his halo askew. This little incident brought back many memories to No. 60732. Remembering all the good times this class had together, she decides to look in on their lives as they live them today. As the clouds cleared away Doug Ostrander appeared first on the scene. Seeing Doug was quite a shock to No. 60732. instead of seeing Doug in his usual immaculate way of dressing she sees him with a dirty flour covered apron doing housework while his wife is busily grinding teeth to support her family. Joan YValton is busily getting her third divorce. This time it is from Jim McCurdy, the big agate manufacturer. She is divorcing him because he thought she had rocks in her head. Looking in the window of the Ajax Insurance Agency she sees bachelor Gerald Danielson, dictating to his.secretary, Don Fitzgerald. Gerald never did like girls. Betty Clark is now driving delivery truck for the new owner of the Purkey Store, her husband Jack. And down at the Rialto Theater No. 60732 sees on the lit up lights the show The Three Musketteers”, starring Barbra Schrag, Ethleen Robinson, and Martha Kadletz. Over at the City Jail she sees Joan Gauer, who has been in the jug for the cruel beating she gave her husband, Jesse, because he wouldn't let her drive his Model-T. Betty Hall has settled down to teaching P. E. in the new boy s reformatory, which finally was erected in the place of the Coquille High School. Lucille Roth is still waiting patiently for Walt after 20 years. He didn’t want to get married until he was promoted from a private. And across the river she sees Donna Hancock, raising a crop of bell-bottom trousers. Velita Batty is still trying, but Bill just won’t fit in her hope chest. Freddy Stevens is now playing with the Cedar Grove Dance Band, which has gained nation-wide fame by playing at the Coquille Community Building, with Lillian Burcher as the star singer.

Won’t they ever get to school on time? J. A. Beck is still tarring roofs for the Don Fish Roofing Company. Arlan Shaw has now bought out N.S.P. Logging Co. and Coos Bay Logging Co. and now operates at Hall's Creek under the name of the Cow Bell Logging Co. He is running perious competition with Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. Alice Ellis recently was engaged to play at Carnegie Hall. She accompanied Don Laird in his ballet debut. Ruth Keeny and Glenna Noble are the world’s leading filibusters. They always could swing their jaws. They are expecting to be called up to speak before the Security Council which is now headed by Glenn Griffith—being absent from Social Economics never effected him I guess. Frank Christensen now owns Dee’s Shell Service, which he calls Christensen’s Castle. Working for him is Dick Perrin, who discovered that he couldn’t run Safe way’s. Watch out Frank. No. 60732 looked into a beauty shop and there was Garni tt Cochran and Kav Simmons specializing in hair cutting being that Kay’s hair never did grow out after that last clipping. Remember Bill’s Place? It is now run by Lawrence Blum and George Edward I lowe. The only reason they bought it was so that they could play pool without paying. Theaters hire Delores DeCosta to sit in the crowd and keep the crowd in stitches during the movie, Little Poodle Cut”, starring Mary Pingelton. Stan Bogard, Pete Clausen, and Eric Erickson run the Riverton Store and ferry. They still fight over who is going to be mayor and congressmen of the great town of Riverton.

Thev have their own stern-wheeler in which they come to town once in a winter. Margery Duey is now the instructor of Driving Trainers courses, and Marlene Gray and Mary Lou Saylor are still trying to get their licenses. Back in Arkansas she secs Lvndel Finley playing his guitar at all the town barn dances. Bob Groves ran for president but was beat out in the long run by Gerald Waterman, Bob never could run very far. As editor of Esquire, Pete Hanev writes monthly advice to love lorn lovers. Eugene Hawkins has been teaching “Southern English” in all Oregon public schools. Dolly” Hubbard is still rolling those big brown eyes at all the men. This time it is at Bob Rowland, the new rave in Hollywood. Yvonne Watzling would like to make those brown eyes black. Diane Jackson still isn’t married, because she’s undecided. Jerry Miller is working at Thorntons, trying to earn his first million to pay off his car. The new chorus teacher at the high sch x l is Carole Zwicker. Mr. Kinney never did recoved after the class of 1952. The new manager of Chuck’s Flower Basket in Myrtle Point is Mavis Newton. She is nothing but wearing orchids now. Maxine Parrish is still proposing to Johnny. He finally gave in. Marciene and Delores Preussler, cousins, seem to have gone in opposite directions—Myrtle Point and Bandon. Stan Roadv is still trying to be successful as a director on Broadway. Len Scolari is now manager of the OSC ping pong team, they have just defeated the LI. of O. team, captained by Charlie Train.

And as the clouds go back together and Saint Peter opens the Pearly Gates, No. 60732 walks into heaven knowing that her class of ’52 is being well cared for. 59 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of “52 has finally reached the top of the ladder at Coquille High School. Perhaps you too would like to look back at the highlights of its outstanding career in Coquille High. The first year at High School began with the election of class officers. Those elected were: President, Vance Carlson; Vice President, Nancy Marney; Secretary, Norma Jean Cole; and Representative, Ve-lita Batty. Mr. Adams was our advisor. We had many freshmen going out for sports with Ed Howe and Len Scolari making the “A” squad in basketball. A year later, after getting a little more accustomed to things, we elected as head of the Sophomore class, Bob Groves, with Joyce Jones, secretary; Lvndel Finley, Representative; and Diane Jackson and Doug Ostrander, Program Chairman. Again we were prominent active students with seven making football letters and three basketball. Now comes our first year as “upperclassmen”. 1 his year we elected Harold Robinson, President; Len Scolari, Vice President; Charlene Neeley, Secretary; Gerald Danielson, Treasurer; and Ed Howe, Representative. The highlight of this active Junior year was; The night of February 24, for instance, will be long remembered as one of the most successful Junior Proms that Coquille has ever seen. That night Pat Detlef-sen was crowned queen with Joan Gauer and Mary Ann Thomas, princesses. “Wishing Well”, was the theme. Another achievement of this class was the play, “Inner Willy” a delightful comedy, directed by Miss Annetta Quick. Eleven Juniors were on the “A” squad in football with four playing first string basketball. Len Scolari was captain of both squads. At Last!—Seniors! What a wonderful word! 1 he group chosen to carry the double load were; Bob Rowland, President; Dona Hancock, Vice President; Margery Duey, Secretary; Erick Erickson, Treasurer and Ed Howe, Representative. The mighty seniors who played on our champion football team in district 6A2 were: Captain, Len Scolari, Ed I lowe, Bill Willard, Bob Groves, Bob Rowland, Jesse Thurman. Jerry Miller, Don Laird, Charles Train. I oots Blum, Arlan Shaw, and Gerald Danielson. Playing basketball were: Ed Howe, Len Scolari, Bill Willard, Doug Ostrander, Don Laird, I oots Blum, Lindlev Simpson, Pete Harvey and Stan Roady. Aside from athletics the seniors captivated the hearts of one of the largest audiences ever to view a Coquille high school play when “George Washington Slept Here” was presented by the class of 1952 in November. Mr. Win Kelley was the director and character leads were Erick Erick son, Lois Sell, and Ruth Keeney. Closing days at Coquille 1 Iigh went by so slow, but events such as the April Senior Ball with all its glamour and romance will always have a tender spot in our realm of memories. Baccalaureate was impressive and for the first time we really felt serious about going out into the world and wondered what lay before us. But then Commencement was here and now the Class of 1952 has written its history on the sands of time. May the underclassmen learn by our mistakes and we hope we have caned out suit able footsteps in which you can follow. 60 J U N I ORS Coquilles class of 1953 is proud of its record as juniors with the highlight of the eventful year coming in February when the class entertained the seniors at a dessert program followed by the junior prom. I he theme of the prom was Oriental Dream and the Community building was decorated in a maze of Japanese lanterns with a manzanita tree complete w ith pool completing the oriental effect. Other activities noted by the juniors were the giant carnival which featured many games and a palm reader, the junior picnic, and two fund raising dances after games. The class will also decorate for baccalaureate and for graduation. Leading the juniors were Bob Swinnev, president; John Clayton, vice president; Jane Gould, secretary; Geraldine Smith, treasurer; Helen Taylor, representative to the student council.

The insert is Alan Dungey, President. The sophomore class of this year gives promise ol being one of the most active classes Coquille High School has ever seen. Alan Dungey led the class as president; Gene Molthu, vice-president; Butch Miller, treasurer; and Joyce Anderson, secretary. 1 he treasury netted a nice sum for the candy sale earlier in the year which proved profitable. The wearers of the green considered themselves very fortunate this year, as no strict rules were placed upon them by us, the sophomores, who usually employ harsh measures to restrict their exuberant spirits and playful inclinations In athletics the sophomores are fortunate in having in their midst two letter men who will furnish excellent material for next year. Four members ol the sophomore class made their way into the National Honor Society. Mrs. Watson and Mr. Hvtinin are given a great deal of credit and thanks for their untiring efforts and successful management as advisors of the class. FRESHMEN Ninety-four Freshmen entered Coquille I Iigh School in the fall of 1951-1952, with much enthusiasm and pep. In due course of time the other classes accepted them, after proper initiation, ol course. These students chose the following members to be their leaders for the year: Daryl Atkinson, President; Gerald Russell, Vice-President; Judy Anderson, Secretary; Dwight Baker, Treasurer; and George Clayton, Student Council Representative. This class has many promising athletes. The boys earning letters for Junior Varsity football were: James Bradford, David Bishop, Daryl Atkinson, Larry Frease, Jack Jacobsen, Melvin Drews, Wavne Pearson, Bennie Thurman, Denny 1 rathen, Paul Clayton. Basketball found some of the same stars and a few additional boys earning J-V letters: Kenny Trathen, Paul Clayton, George Clayton, Melvin Drews, Larry Brungnoli, Jack Jacobson, and James Bradlord. I he Freshman class went with the Sophomore Class to Beaver Ilill one afternoon in March to plant trees in cooperation with the Tree Preservation program ol the State Forestry Department. An assembly program was given bv the class lor the student body also in cooperation with the Sophomore class and the readings, musical numbers, and skits were well received. The advisors for the Freshman class were Mrs. Velma Smith and Mr. “Spike ’ Leslie. INSERT: Doryl Atkinson, president.
