Philip Barry’s three-act comedy, “The Youngest,” was presented at matinee and evening performances. The plot centered around Richard, the youngest son in the Winslow family, and the conflict between his literary aspirations and his family’s materialism. Although bullied by his family at first, Richard incited by Nancy Blake, a guest at the Winslow home, later obtained his deserved position in the family and married Nancy. The cast included: Richard Winslow — “Make your pins in the evening” . . . Fred Kempe Nancy Blake — “A man’s greatest victory is over his own family” Irene Galpert Mrs. Winslow — “Dear boy!”.....................................Helen Roberts Oliver Winslow — On this auspicious occasion” .... Joe Dillow Mark Winslow — “A man's greatest victory is over his own self- ishness” ....................................................... Cyrus Cook Augusta Martin — “The little tin god!”.........................Lucille Hoff Allen Martin — “Dear, dear!”...................................Byron Kitching Martha (Muff) Winslow — Now I can go straight” . . . Charlotte Olitt The Maids.........................................Frances Powell, Geraldine Blakeslee Principal A. F. Bittner expressed the feelings of the January ’33 Class when he proudly stated, “All in all I think that this is the best senior class play that has ever been presented at Grant. The cast was very well balanced, and every student in the play seemed natural, yet quite in the right feeling or mood for the characterization. Yes, from start to finish I was thrilled. The success of the play will certainly help to advertise Grant.” This success was due to the directive genius of Miss Marie Churchill, coach, the talented cast, and the willing cooperation of the play staff consisting of: Business Managers.......................................Jimmy Rogers, Bill Campbell Stage Manager...................................................Dick Haynes Assistant Manager...................................................Art Nelson Property Managers.................................Phyllis Strickland, Charles Carter Assistants.............................................Doris Russi, Marjorie Noble Costumers..............................................Carol Pape, Peggy Hayward Book Holder..................................................Mary Charlotte Sommer Stage Crew Chief........................... ........................Clark Miles Posters and art work Miss Marie Schulderman, Mr. C. W. Comstock, Phyllis Strickland —Jimmy Rogers “In memory of William Thomas Fletcher. Born March 28, 1876. Died July 9, 1928. First principal of Ulysses S. Grant High School, 1924. Teachers and students were his friends. He trusted them, and they trusted him. By precept and example he taught that good citi- zens are the nation’s strength and that life itself is a sacred trust.” These murals were painted by Carl Hoeckner, who was born in Munich, December 19, 1883. He has studied in Hamburg, Cologne, and Munich. Mr. Hoeckner has painted murals which are now in many of the principal cities of Europe and America and has been the recipient of numerous awards made by the most notable art societies of the world. The composition of the murals aims by the means of line and color, as well as by the subject matter, at an interpretation of ideals in education. The chain of young people, rising step by step, and hand in hand, striving toward ideal conceptions of manhood and womanhood, is intended as a symbol of all edu- cation. The other parts of the murals are representative of Mr. Fletcher’s background as related to the early pioneer life of Oregon. These murals are dedicated to William T. Fletcher, first principal of U. S. Grant High School. By example he showed that our lives should maintain a balance of all things worth while. All truths of God and man were vital to him. As an individual he radiated charm bom of his intimate knowledge of all phases of life. In spirit his ideals will live forever. “The memorial of virtue is immortal because it is known with God and with men. When it is present, men take example of it; and when it is gone, they desire it. It weareth a crown and triumpheth forever, having gotten the victory striving for undefiled rewards. Honorable age is not that which standeth in length of time nor that is measured by number of years.” Since the final arrangements for installing the murals and the first large contributions toward the fund to purchase them were made in our freshman year, and since it was during our reign as seniors that the murals were finally completed and dedicated, our class feels an ineffable sense of pride in them — almost a sense of ownership, which can be experienced by neither previous nor subsequent graduating classes. We feel a more fitting memorial to Mr. Fletcher could not have been erected. We believe that every class that enters our portals will derive the same enjoy- ment from them that we have this term and profit by the same principles which we have found so clearly and nobly set forth in these murals. These principles will never become anachronous; the beauty and truth embedded in them will endure forever: the upraised arms of the youth will never be lowered, and the torch borne by the maiden will never be extinguished, but they both will forever symbolize truth. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” and “a thing of beauty is a joy forever.” W II o ? V II E It E ? W II Y ? lUy knees were knocking; my teeth were chattering; my hair was stand- ing on end. I was harassed with every known affliction that attends would-be actors before they enter upon the stage. No, this is not an actor’s autobiography; it is just those little remembrances of trying out for the senior class play. I wonder what this all avails us? Can it be that we are minute playthings for some great unseen who juggles us in and out of life? (Burr! These are cold thoughts, but they at least take my mind off this tryout.) What will become of these seniors? Will they be swept out into humanity, the dazzling world, and be lost in its whirlpool, or will they ascend the heights to fame and glory? It is said that “Life is just a bowl of cherries,” and possibly our seniors take this attitude, kissing goodby to Grant without any feeling other than that of leaving any building, forgetting it almost instantly. But can we forget Grant so soon? Do we consider it a real stepping stone to enlightenment and a place where enlargement and expansion of the mind takes place? I hope we do have this view somewhere in our mind. Some of us will step out and set our aims and ambitions for high attainments, such as science, medicine, banking, history, law, education, and many other fields of expression. Will we go through life riding Fords, learning contract, playing with “yo-yos” and other general nuisances? Gaining experience from these various activities may enlighten our minds to such an extent that we shall wake up and realize that all in all our high school studies are attainments towards true education. To most of us Grant and its teachers have been a perceptible influence that will attend us through our lives and will be a real milepost. This class has acquired a background that at least will better the world to some extent. Whether we shall be doctor or lawyer, our goals will be the same: to better mankind whether for our own benefit or for someone else’s. Tish, it is now my turn to be the tryout goes on. the fool. I feel that sinking feeling again, but —Warren Burton Walker O Y V I i: W I U M T. II O O II The majestic peak, Golden in the rays of the setting sun, Seemed to symbolize the awfulness Of Divine power. The city, With its noise and bustle and triviality, Was lightly covered o’er With a veil of white nothingness. So are our petty cares, When considered with the eternity of nature, Extinguished. At that moment I understood Why men are content to spend their lives In meditation. —Byron Kitching THE O IK E Ip O X A T I O X A L E O IK E S T WWave you ever stood on a mountain early in the morning, looking down at the top of the clouds, or heard the tinkle of the sheep bells echoing from canyon to canyon? If you have, then you’ll know how I felt on my last trip into the most secluded parts of the Oregon National forest. I can never explain to anyone how I feel when I am in some exceptionally beautiful place. I can only say that I am closer to real religion than I am in Church. The last trip that I made was late this summer. Two other boys and I rented some good trail horses on the spur of the moment and decided to go to the Plaza Ranger Station, one of the Government stations in Oregon, twenty miles from the nearest civilization. We started about three o’clock one crisp morning as the moon was hanging low in the sky and stars were twinkling brightly. Every once in a while a star would flash red against the sky and make me think of an old Indian legend that an Indian sheep herder told me when I was a young “sprout” — as he used to call me. He said that every time a star shot across the heavens it meant that some soul had gone to the “Happy Hunting Grounds.” I shall never forget the strange thrill that went up my back as he told me, and to this day when I see the red flash of a falling star I still have the same feeling. After getting started on our trip, we climbed four miles to reach the top of Huckleberry Mountain. By that time it was almost light, so we decided to rest the horses for a while and cook our breakfast. After eating a hearty meal of scrambled eggs, bacon, black coffee, and rolls, we watched the sun come slowly over Hunchback Mountain and smile grandly down on the billowing clouds in the valley between Hunchback and Huckleberry. None of us talked much, and when we did it was with hushed voices, for I think the inspiration of the scene made us feel very small. We finally rounded up the horses once again and started on our way. We went up one peak and down another for miles along the ridge of Wildcat, a mountain devoid of timber, and covered only with purple huckleberry bushes, scarlet Indian paint brush, lavender lupin, white and green squaw grass, and goldenrod. All of us were in the best of spirits as we laughed, talked, and sang our way over the trail. After leaving Wildcat, we entered into thickly timbered country where the sun shone down in patches on a carpet of pine needles. We stopped for lunch by the side of a crystal clear, ice cold spring that had been dug out of shale rock by deer, elk, and other wild animals. I don’t believe that anything has ever tasted quite so good to me as that spring water and those thick ham sandwiches. We almost hated to leave that spot, but we knew that we shouldn’t loiter too long, as we still had a long way to go. Wandering from one trail to another, we saw many signs of wild life. We stopped several times to water our horses and stretch our legs. Several times we stopped to look over the cliffs into the virgin forest far below. I think that we all felt as if we were in a world all our own. I know that I felt unimportant as I looked at vast valleys, high ridges, and towering cliffs. As dusk came with a lavender glow, the air grew nippy again. Off over a distant ridge we saw the flames of a sheep-herder’s camp-fires and heard the sheep bells echoing from one mountain wall to the other. We knew then that we were not far from our destination, and the horses sensed it, too, for they pricked up their ears as they broke into a gallop. After rounding a curve, we saw the station silhouetted black against the darkening sky. We heard the “Hullo” of the ranger as he came to greet us. And did I say that the ham sandwiches had tasted better than anything I had eaten before? I was wrong. I know that they were not as delicious as the beef stew and “dough-gob” (biscuits) that the ranger had ready for our evening meal. That night as I was almost ready to drop asleep, I opened my eyes for one more contented look around. The fire threw a rosy glow on the walls and our faces, and from the smoldering wood came the pungent odor of burning pine and hemlock. As I closed my eyes I heard far away the weird call of a coyote, and I knew then that never again would I be so blissful, comfortable, contented. —Alan Davis III III III III MUNDANE MUTATIONS Ak fter seeing the manipulation of a Yo-Yo, no one, no matter how fair minded he may be, can help realizing that of all the things which the modern youth’s susceptibility to fads has inflicted upon the world, the Yo-Yo is the most useless and ridiculous. The Yo-Yo, unlike most fads, is of value neither from an educational nor a physical standpoint, nor from the standpoint of personal adornment. It is inconceivable that a person of high mentality could derive pleasure from such an inane procedure as running a little wooden disc up and down a string; yet, considering the vast numbers who are to be seen on every hand blithely Yo-Yoing, there is room for fear that we shall become a race of virtual Neroes, Yo-Yoing while our civilization crumbles. Not only individuals, but governments, have their Yo-Yo’s. Excessive arm- aments, imperialism, dreams of world conquest, are all foolish baubles just as surely as the ten-cent playthings to be seen on the grounds of Grant High School. It is Yo-Yo’s such as these that must be done away with before the world is safe from recurrent periods of economic distress, such as the one through which we are now passing. Being able to do the most tricks with a Yo-Yo will not make a man a success in life, nor will an abundance of diplo- matic wiles make a nation a lasting power. Rome had its Nero, who fiddled at the burning of his city, and now all that remains of Rome is ruins, ghosts of a dead glory. Let us be careful, lest our statesmen, Yo-Yoing, in effect, bring us to the same state. —Whitney Hastings SYMPHONY Beyond the Ocean’s golden rim, Etched by the wizardry of setting sun. The breakers roll upon another shore Gray with the promise of light to come, And hope is born, as with the shadows Of approaching night it fails within my heart — And yet should not — light will return To the sea though I do not. Dreams die and men themselves, still, Both live forever in The Song of Man Blending with the sun, and wind, and sea In God’s eternal symphony. —Marian Johnson AN E II I T O It’S NIGHTMARE Oh, the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of a task that is ever for me, And in vain do I strive my poor brain to deprive Of these thoughts which most morbid can be. Though I count little sheep when I’m trying to sleep, I’m confronted by visions most clear. And my slumbers are stayed by these sights which won’t fade Of the printer, engraver so drear. The photographer slow in his hurry to go Has forgotten to photograph Meek; The engraver demands that he have in his hands All the prints by the end of the week. Miss Mitchell, dismayed at the progress we’ve made, Is continually preaching of dates, And “I’m swamped with the themes of our class, so it seems,” Whitney Hastings ironically states. And to lose seven pounds keeping track of the funds Was the fate of our manager, Bill, And his partner in crime, Mr. Rogers this time, Cuts out dolls from the checks in the till. To the thousands who ask how I’m doing my task, When the Memoirs is going to press, Or if everyone’s buying this term, justly sighing I reply with, “Just fine! ” or a “ Yes.” Oh, I rock and I reel, and I totter and wheel, As I think of the work to be done, So aspiring young man, O disrupt your mad plan, For, believe me, my job is no fun. s E I O It C E L E It It I T I i: S YOUTH AND THE NEW E IK A in our industrial, political, and cultural civilization we appear to be on the verge of a veritable millennium. The Post-War decade, with its cynical materialism, will soon be forgotten in the throes of the New Era. We of the transition period, who are privileged to ponder upon the past and speculate upon the future, perceive a more humanistic philosophy evolving in all phases of our civilization. The last four years of economic adversity have developed within us a new sense of values. When the recovery from our economic debacle, which has already begun, shall be completed, the reforms instituted in the industrial civilization of the New Era will result in an actual Utopia. Industry will bestow upon mankind such previous inconceivabilities as: the much-heralded five-day week and six- hour day, unemployment insurance, sane finance, better housing, television, robots, and a truly high standard of living. Far more evident than our industrial outlook is the political attitude of the New Era. Even now the cries of “forgotten man” and “new deal” resound in our ears from the last election. In fact, it seems clearly indicated that we are entering upon the greatest age of liberal democracy since Pericles. Never before has our nation clamored so loudly for good government. Our educated masses have conceived a new philosophy of government: individualism in ethics and socialism in industry. This philosophy, so radically different from that of the Coolidge Era, should result in greater happiness to every single human being than has ever been considered possible in the history of mankind. Our people hate war; their attitude on war debts will induce Europe to disarm. When we shall have accomplished disarmament we shall have attained a tremendous victory in our progression from barbarism. Our American philosophy has undergone a great change in the last four years. We have arrived at a more mature viewpoint. We at last appreciate the fallacies of wealth, the joys of sane living, and the democracy of Walt Whitman. We are drifting away from the iconoclasm of the Post-War decade into the humanism of the New Era. Indeed, the Golden Rule is only one step beyond the philosophy of the New Era. What part is reserved for Youth in this Utopia? Youth is to be the accel- erating force behind the liberalism of the New Era. As Youth appeals for disarmament and world peace the world will listen and obey. It is for Youth to supply the idealism which old age so often lacks. Fortunately, Youth will accept this responsibility and will help foster the New Era. —Jimmy Rogers IK E YERIE IXSPI IK E D IK V S N O W ■ sat in the cabin looking out the window. Outside was snow; snow beating D a silent rhythm against the once green earth; snow filling the branches of the trees, ladening them with a blanket of winter’s making; snow covering the surrounding woods as if Mother Nature were putting her child to bed. Even the wind seemed to have retreated in favor of Silence. The poet Wordsworth spoke of “emotion recollected in tranquillity. Here tranquillity itself was the emotion. My mind wandered. I thought not of the ignoble things I had alone, of mistakes and failures, but of the things I would do: dreams, ambitions, hopes, aspirations. And always there was that steady silence, silence, silence. There was no loud clamoring, no avalanche of sound falling upon the ears to call attention to what was being accomplished, no hurry to finish the task laid out. There was just that steady progress, building inch by inch to the ultimate goal. That is how I should like to live my life. In the distance a bird, perhaps left behind by the others, called feebly. Its feelings toward that snow would be different from mine. To the bird the night was chill, foreboding, relentless. A few more chirps and again all was still. Silence had conquered — silence and the night. I felt a pity for the little bird, an emotion not in tune with my train of thought. But slowly, surely, the snow, still falling, won me over. I closed my eyes and was again lost in dreams. Suddenly my thoughts changed. I realized that the fire had died out and that I was cold. The glamour of the night had disappeared, and in its stead were stark realities. I opened my eyes and saw that the snow was no longer falling; a wind had sprung up from nowhere; the sun was rising from its gray hiding place to start a new day. Dawn and my dreams had broken. —Fred Kempe m III III III THE E T E II N A E T E A € II E IK O wind that ’cross the wild peak’s slope A-whistling on thy cold, drear way And laying o’er dead flow’rs and stone The chill, white pall that robs of hope The weary trav’ler far away, Enveloped in thy mournful moan— Whence thy pow’r to ’prison in vastness? O fog, whose clammy grip has found A hold on rugged mountain heights To supplement the snow new fall’n In keeping man and beast fast bound From exercising common rights — The search for food at hunger’s calling — Whence thy power to hide a course? Wise Nature in her sway supreme Need answer questions of no man. Though deeds and wills of hers lack not, Man fails, in his conceit serene, To read in them the wondrous plan — That she against him aye has fought To make of him a better man. —Laurence MacDaniels C L IT It s A IN II ALPINE Mr. May Mr. Catlin President . . .

You said I’d again feel aglow and alive In a clime where insomnia just couldn’t thrive; That a summer of camping would make me anew, That the beauty of nature would be different, too. “So I cleaned out my closet and rolled up my rugs and hurried to dwell with the flowers and bugs. I answered my mail, said ‘so long’ to the gang: I cancelled my dates, closed the door with a bang. I worked for a week just waiting for thrills, ’Fore I packed my valise and set out for the hills. “On their glory I gaze as this letter I write. In the heavens the new moon is slender and white. The trees silhouetted against the dim sky Seem to swoop down upon me whene’er I pass by. A bat flying low is touching my face; He, and I, too, know that I’m out of place. “But where, I inquire, is your foreordained sleeping, When life is a-din with the creatures out creeping? Oh where and oh where is your ill-advised quiet? With crickets and what-not this place is a riot! There are hoots from the trees and weird sounds from the thicket; Well, sleep or no sleep, I am here — and I’ll stick it! “Write to me soon. In the meantime, remember — I’ll be back in town on the first of September. My regards to the crowd; for yourself, keep the best. I’ll be seeing you soon, — when I come home to rest! ” —Lucy Yost III III III III ON SILCOOS LAKE he essence of poetry is “emotion recollected in tranquillity.” In this respect I am like Wordsworth. Some may think that I am egotistical when I compare myself to Wordsworth, but one of my strongest beliefs is that the only difference between the great poet and the common man is that the poet is able to tell the rest of the world about his reactions, while the common man is merely privileged to enjoy his reactions alone. That one reaction which I so enjoy is the thrill that I get while crossing Silcoos Lake on the way to the Roosevelt Club, where I spend a part if not all of the summer months. Perhaps my emotion is somewhat stimulated by the prospects of the many pleasant days which are to come, but if it were merely a ride with no future to it I would still get unbounded pleasure from it. As I sit in the small boat I am surrounded by endless beauty. On my right is Paradise Island with its masses of wild flags. To my left and close to the shore are the lily ponds, and as I notice the small green leaves that are just lifting their heads above the water, I know that I am soon to see them grow into great golden flowers which will catch the rays of the sun and throw them so high into the heavens that, on bright and clear days, the light can be seen from all parts of the lake. Straight ahead of me I can see the beautiful white mansion which is known to sportsmen the world over as Roosevelt Club. With the blue lake in the foreground, and the blue sky as a background, this, indeed, makes a beautiful picture which is framed by tall, majestic fir trees. While I cross the lake, I think of the joys and the sorrows of the past year. I think of the friends I have lost and the ones I have gained. I count my wealth not in gold but in happiness, and find that it is good to be alive. —Wilson Peterson III Ilf III III IMPRESSIONS I The windows are broken, the door stands ajar, The sills are obscured with the moss of years, The house stands deserted, in mute appeal To know again people, their joys and their tears. II The sea Is the train Of a great lady’s gown, Blue silk Edged with ermine. Then again It is her veil, Soft gray Touched with white lace. —Marian Johnson THE B E A IJ T I F I L SEA The rolling sea I’ve seen at joyous play. And I have watched him rage with foaming hate And dance with wicked glee at mortal fate. In winter storms I’ve cheered his wild affray; In spring I’ve loved him, though he would betray Me, could he draw me through his wat’ry gate. I’ve seen the sea in every mood and state From shimmering silver, blue and green to gray, And still my love he holds and ever will. The sea is life and love to me, and song. He knows of every human sorrow — ill. He teaches wisdom and he cures all wrong; The sea may mend a broken soul then kill All love save that which does to him belong. —Marjorie Noble 111 III III III THE SEAGULL Oh, would I were a sea gull. To float o’er land and sea, To view the mighty ocean, A-rolling under me; To see the rock-bound coast lines, The coral stranded shore. To feel and breathe the salty winds, To hear the ocean’s roar; To look upon humanity There, crawling on the ground, To know no earthly misery, With which all men abound; To breathe the breath of freedom, And come and go at will, To never know the prisons That mankind ever will. —J. Dobrin © X ii IK O W I X U A MUSTACHE wn “Biology and Human Life,’’ his celebrated treatise on senior extra-curric- ular activities, Professor Screwyberg states, “One of the peculiar physical characteristics of many a high school senior (species: adolescentium nertsis) is a barely noticeable form of outgrowth on the epidermis of the upper lip, a mustache in the embryo.” Being myself a victim of this, which the professor later refers to as “the physical symptom of an unfortunate but nevertheless harmless affliction of the cerebrum,” I shall attempt to acquaint my reader with the wherefore of my own particular “mustache.” It happened one June evening. I was driving with a “friend” in my “Model T.” Just before we ran out of gas, I heard her murmur above the din of the motor, “Oh, Jimmy, I think you’d look awful good with a mustache.” The next morning I did not shave my upper lip. Inevitably the victim believes that he can grow a mustache in about three weeks. Being a pessimist, I counted on possibly four weeks before I could compete with John Gilbert or Ronald Colman. Before the reader condemns my undeniable optimism he should remember that Herbert Hoover said that the depression would last only sixty days. At the end of the second week one of my intimate friends remarked, “You have not shaved this morning.” Three weeks after this depressing incident, however, I was exhilarated when one of my contemporaries, from a distance of eleven feet and five inches, noticed and commented upon my infant “cookie duster.” About this time I discovered a fellow victim, who had been growing his facial appendage for ten days longer than I. Together we lamented our cruel destinies and compared notes. At the end of three months we both were informed that if we clipped our mustaches they would grow quite promptly. Being desperate, we yielded to temptation. Then, as we contemplated our folly, for the mustaches grew just as slowly as before, we recalled the old saying, “A fool and his mustache are soon parted.” However, I had now become fully addicted to this weird mania. Probably even constant supervision and watching would not force me to shave my upper lip. I was beyond the pale. As yet, my mustache is not a thing of beauty. It is less noted for its conspicuousness than for its sophistication. It subjects me to the continual railleries of my wiser, shaven contemporaries. Perhaps, as they say, it is merely something for the photographer to erase on my proofs. Yet some day it may startle even me by its splendor. It may revive a great family tradition; both of my grandfathers wore mustaches (my grandfather Oscar sported a magnificent mustachio). At least it is a harmless form of self expression. And think how many razor blades I shall save. —Jimmy Rogers p o K T S s coAc mx; staff W. A. LONG J. W. EDWARDS W. T. EILERTSEN LOUIS SEGGEL PRE-SEASON • KIRI It O N TILTS Grant 12 . .

DAVIS, AL WAHOSKE, JIM LENAU. JIM PHILLIPPI, ROSS WARNER, DON WHITESIDE, JACK GILBERT, BOB McDADE, KARL GREBE, GEORGE FOX, TOM MacCLUER, MALCOLM McKENZIE. EMERSON McCALLEY, BOB EAGLE. JACK BRYSON, AL HUDDLESTON. JACK BAINTON, BILL LaSALLE, DALE DAVIS, ARNIE In the line of green but willing gridders Phillippi at tackle bolstered the front wall’s strength considerably. However, Don Warner, Jim Wahoske, and A1 Davis grew in experience and proved tough to all opposition. Covering the guard jobs were Emerson McKenzie, Malcolm MacCluer, Jack Whiteside, and Jim Lenau, who gained in determination and skill in each skirmish. At the end posts were found A1 Bryson, a luminary pass receiver, George Grebe, Don Gilbert, and Frank Bennett. The all-important center position was capably handled by Bob McCalley, first string hiker, who was lost for part season by a leg injury, Jack Huddleston, and Karl McDade. Logically the General pigskin toters were not of championship timber. Their lack of seasoning offset their ever-flaming spirit, and it was not until the very last contest that they were able to score a victory. The defensive power of the squad was evident, in view of the fact that only 37 points were scored against the team. Offensively the Blue and Gray was especially weak, tallying but a scant fifteen points in the seven league games on the Multnomah Stadium gridiron. The past year has been quite unsuccessful in the percentage column on account of the light weight of the gridders and Grant’s share of hard luck, but Coach Long and the student body look for a leader in next fall’s cham- pionship competition as only five members of the entire aggregation will be lost by graduation. I� K X P U S II K It S II A I, TED, © - � Still little organized by two pre-season contests, Grant’s eleven faced the third place Commerce green wave in the season opener. For three quarters the game was fought even-Steven. Then suddenly a Stenographer drive was launched, carrying the oval to the General five-yard stripe, where for four downs the Grantonians held. An almost disastrous fumble again placed Commerce with the bloated pighide on the Grant six. The same blazing courage of General Ulysses S. Grant was evident in the hearts of the blue and gray clad boys of the forward wall. Commerce did not score. XI A It 4� 4� A’ A A � 4. 4� I, I� T I K I� , © - 4� Both the Generals and Colonials adopted the Andy Smith system of play in Grant’s second pigskin tilt. The oval was kept in the air by punts during most of the scuffle, neither team gambling on scrimmaging with the muddy ball. In the last few seconds Grant’s coveted break came. A Washington punt caromed from the head of a Colonial into the waiting arms of A1 Bryson, who carted the pigskin some 40 yards to the Maroon and Gold ten. The whistle prevented Grant’s taking advantage of the freak play. Booting the oval for fifty and sixty yards in the steady drizzle converted Jack Eagle into a respected wet-weather asset. D K XI O (' HATS XV IX, I :i - © Well-executed end runs, fast spinners and reverses, and powerful center plunges by the superior and colorful Jefferson eleven were quite sufficient to down the young Blue and Gray squad in a thrilling nocturnal tilt. For the pennant-bound Democrats Ray Woodman, winner of the Zell Tro- phy, skirted the General ends, and Paul Franzen, another luminary, crashed center in a fifty-nine-yard march to the Grant pay dirt in the opening period. A twenty-yard pass from Arnie Davis, Grant's husky halfback, to La Salle, and successful line plays brought the pigskin to the Jeff fourteen-yard mark. This second quarter drive, however, was halted by a tightening Demo fore- ward wall, and another pass shot to La Salle fell dead in the end zone. Marching fifty yards in the final quarter, the Purple and Gold again crossed Grant’s goal. Behind thirteen points, the Generals unleashed an eleventh-hour passing attack. Bill Gleason, a substitute, hurled a twenty-five-yard pass to Bryson, who raced thirty more yards over the goal line. However, an offside penalty nullified this spectacular scoring. TEDDIES T II 1 II 1 I II ANT, « - 2 A small but powerful Roosevelt crew dealt Grant its first defeat when a first quarter offensive march netted six tallies for the Roughriders. In the third quarter Don Warner, Grant tackle, crashed through the Teddy- bear line to block Hastings’ punt. The oval bounded from the end zone, thus eliminating the chance of a possible touchdown but giving the fighting Generals a safety. Two other Roosevelt kicks were blocked, but Grant failed to capitalize on these breaks. C A It D I A L S X O S E O II T W IN, « - O Like a destructive flash of lightning from a blue sky, two forward passes and a lateral brought defeat to the Blue and Gray gridders from the Lincoln Cardinals in the closing seconds of a muddy tussle. Ending the first half, the Grant aggregation placed the pigskin on the Railsplitter seven after a sparkling aerial attack. It E N SON .1 I N X T It I II XI P II ANT, 12-7 With only thirty seconds for the clock to register, the Mechanics, aided by their five-year jinx on Grant, succeeded in snatching victory from the General camp by scampering across the goal wall into Blue and Gray kingdom with a blocked point. Just previously the Orangemen had converted another such catastrophe into six points. A recovered Benson fumble by end George Grebe and a twenty-six-yard spiral, Davis to Bryson, brought Grant’s first touchdown in the initial stanza. V I C T O II Y FIN A I. I. Y A T T A I N E D , « - � Grant finally attained a grid victory when, in the muck and mire of the Multnomah Stadium, Jack Huddleston got in front of a Franklin boot which bounded into Bryson’s arms in the shadow of the goal posts. In this, the Grantonians’ last battle. Bob Gilbert, speedy fullback, ran wild, reeling off many yards and several first downs. From out Jefferson way a heavy, well-balanced, and experienced squad, coached by Eric Waldorf, proved to be of the finest caliber of any team in the state. Extending a victory march commenced in 1930, the Purple and Gold pigskin stars rolled up their winning streak to twenty-two consecutive victorious games. Trouncing the second-place Roosevelt Roughriders, the superior Democrat eleven won the city title on Armistice Day to the tune of 25-0. The annual turkey-day mythical state titular tilt was taken by the Jeffs over the Medford Pearpickers, 33-0, with that undaunted all-star, Ray Wood- man, at its helm. Into the picture of the city’s foremost grid players this year, as chosen by the Journal and Oregonian, creeps Bob Gilbert of Grant. Bob was steady all season from the standpoint of secondary defense, cheering and encouraging the green line in each skirmish. With equal agility he skirted ends or smashed the line. A1 Bryson, the General’s scoring threat at left end, was given due recognition on two second-string all-star selections. Each of the nineteen lettermen already listed has given his best efforts to make Grant a winning combination and deserves full credit. in in ill DESERVING OF EXTRA .MERIT Head Coach Watt Long for developing an ever-courageous grid squad.
