When the last final quiz is written And the faculty all have died We shall stop; and faith, we shall need it; And rest for an aeon or two. Or, will the Master of all good workmen Just set us to work anew? Will professors we knew as mortals Meet us at Heaven's bright gate? Will Horning in Home Economics Reprove us for coming in late? Will Alden wax witty in Algebra Because a few problems we miss? May the gods of our fathers protect us Lest Heaven should turn out like this! There’ll be no lab work or physics General Science will never give pains. But instead we’ll just loaf with a vengeance; rhere’ll be nothing but athletic games. We’ll chew Medford up to a frazzle; And Roseburg? Fifty to six! And Ashland won’t have a look in With our team to furnish the kicks. And after the season is over With us at the top all the while. They’ll build us a nice new building While Mishler looks on with a smile. And we’ll just be lousy with money. And the manager needn’t play tight; And we’ll have a new gym too, begorra. And the campus with arc lamps we’ll light. And then we can all go canoeing, And take in some good vaudeville; And then we’ll all eat at the Shack, And there never will be any bill. When the last senior thesis is finished And the textbooks in smoke float away It will be like a summer vacation. Forever and ever, just play.

Page Eight SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It came to pass that in the year 1920, one hundred weary natives from divers places besought admittance to the great tribe of Grants Pass High. These were called the Freshman Clan and twenty-four was their mystic symbol. They obtained a guide named Wardnp who led them thru the mazes of their new life. Hayden Tucker and Iris Burns were head chief and second chief. Clara Harbeck recorded their deeds, while Irene Hyde guarded their wealth and Virginia Parsons represented them in the tribal councils. A year elapsed and the clan became known as Sophomores but still retained Ward-rip as their guide, and Chester Edgerton as their head chief. Jack I obin was his able assistant, Arda Isham the faithful scribe, William Madison carefully kept their treasure and Iris Bums represented them in the great council. On October thirty-first, at the annual Demon’s eve, the lesser clan of Frosh were entertained. A few moons later, they gave the Sophomores a weird ceremonial called a masquerade. In this same season the clan presented the tribe with a wonderful, awe-inspiring blue and white emblem which they had won in the mighty battle of Chautauqua I ickets. The clan was now entering its third year in the tribe and was called Juniors. The great, good guide having journeyed afar off, the clan chose Gunnell as their guide. Tucker again became chief with Edith Spalding as sub-chief. Virginia Roy kept the records, Irene Jay was guardian of the treasure vaults, and Clara Harbeck represented them in the tribal council. The clan had many members in the tribal armies in the football and baseball wars and its squaws ruled the tribe in basketball. A mighty potlatch was held at the end of the season for the Senior Clan. In nineteen hundred twenty-three the clan once more returned to the tribe. They were old in tribal ways and customs and were known as Seniors. At different limes a great plague descended upon them known as Final Exams and many were stricken, yet the clan lived on. Y ea, one of its members became chief of the tribe. Stearns guided the clan thru its final perils while Edgerton valiantly led them. Garrett Crpckett was second chief, Mintie Wilhelm kept the records, and Donald Bames was custodian of the treasure and representative to the great Council. The Clan was supreme in all parts of the tribal life. The squaws once more defeated all in basketball. Her orators waxed eloquent and silenced the other clansmen with much noise and clamor. In the Harvest Moon the whole tribe held a mighty potlatch. Later the squaws invited the braves to a huge war dance and much feasting followed. At length the period of vacation is near at hand and the clan is prepared to set out and conquer the remaining tribes, no longer scattered wanderers but a firm band of loyal people.

Page Ten SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY On a sultry day in late August several years ago, I had several hours of time to spend, so I determined to visit my old friend. Professor Oestreich, who had become famous in his epoch-making discoveries of new compounds of rare gases. Being an attendant at the Chicago “Tombs” and having charge of the rare “Geniuses,” I had always been interested in Carl, for he would eventually be under my care. When I arrived we went directly to the laboratory, one of the largest which I had ever visited. Going to a table and pointing to a large bottle, the Professor said: 1 his container encloses three liters of a gas that it has taken me four months to obtain. I have proven beyond doubt that this gas is radio-active and that it affects light waves in a peculiar manner. I am attempting to prove that in the presence of Krypton nitrate the gas becomes so active on light waves, that light waves which have vibrated before are recalled and may be seen with the naked eye. Now watch closely and we will try my plan.” I settled back and watched him as he dropped several crystals of Krypton nitrate into this gas which he called Xenon pentoxide. After waiting several minutes the molecules of Xenon petroxide began to separate and change, making objects in the vapor. The chemist straightened in his chair and gazed intently into the mist as if by the very act of concentration he could bring the past before him. Ah, at last it comes! What is the first scene? Will it last? Let us forget the chemist, who is so enraptured with the scene, and look into the vapor, as he is doing. It is the year 1938. A man with two strange birds walking behind him is making his way over a large estate. He is distinguished looking and carries an air of proprietorship about him. Yes, it is Shirley Dellinger, owner of a Shikepoke farm in Colorado. Little did we dream that when Shirley wrote “An Ode to a Shikepoke” that he would let his love for them influence him in his life work. The next scene, a large waiting room. On the door is written, “Dr. Alberts, Specialist in Mind, Body and Heart.” The door swings open. Over a beautifully dressed young women bends Dr. Alberts, who is using the absent treatment. As the Doctor reaches for a glass of water from the nurse who has just entered, we see that the woman is Leona Currier and the nurse Jessie Baird. We hear Leona say, “Yes, Doctor, I’m just worn out from teaching in the Murphy High School, and-------------” We heard no more, the scene changed. Oh! a beautiful picture. A country, or rather a farm home. In the field of corn we see a machine cultivating as a man would hoe, but there is no one near. It stops all of a sudden and starts toward a little glass house at one edge of the field. A man comes out of the house and awaits the instrument. The man is Donald Barnes, who has by means of his scientific skill been able to make inanimate objects do as he wished. No, Don has never married for he couldn’t decide which girl of the ’24 class he liked best. B-r-r-r-r-! What a cold looking place. Banks and banks of snow and ice. Evidently this is the Alps. Oh! Catch her. she’s falling.” I screamed, forgetful of my surroundings and the old chemist, as I saw a girl slip and start rolling down the side of the glacier in the midst of clouds and snow.

The guide conies around the side of the mountain into view, followed by a woman of great fame in police circles, as a detective, Lucile Hayes! And we are more than surprised to see that the man is Chester Britten. He starts pulling in the rope and finally the girl lays at his feet. Reaching down he gently lifts her and we recognize Elsie Walton, originator of Walton’s Study Ionic for Freshmen. As if to rest us of what we had seen, the next picture is laid in a quiet country town in Ireland. Eric McCann is lord and ruler, or whatever they call them in Ireland. He is slowly driving along the country lanes in his Rolled-Barley coupe. He stops to speak to Philip and Carol Hussey who are raising four-leaf clovers for a living. They, with Viola Bordon as assistant, are becoming rich at this unique work. Oh, goody! A circus. Turner Perry! Never heard of it. Roy Perry is talking through a megaphone to the crown telling about the tallest man and shortest woman, who are Ellis Dodson and Arlela Myers, and about the wild west girls, Eleanor Cougle and Lucy Allen. We see a woman, none other than Rilda I urner, at the box office selling tickets. Uh-hum! So this is the whyfore of Turner and Perry. The woman who is buying tickets suddenly grabs a small, fat-faced boy who is just crawling under the tent and administers a slap or two, while she said: Shame on you, Howard Jr. Can’t you learn to behave?” It is Dorothy Egger. “Jabber, jabber, jabber. Oh. Heavens, what can the next scene be? Parrots? I should say! Virginia Roy, our exquisite darling Peggy of the class of ’24, is an old maid with several parrots for company. Feature it! Could anything be more impossible? But—she looks happy. Oh. she is listening; she hears some one. The door quietly opens and Bernice Coon-Crockett, wife of Coach Crockett of the University of Grants Pass, walks in to pay her old classemate a visit. “Oh. Peggy, she exclaims, “Have you heard the latest? Well, you know. I’ve never had much faith in Mintie Wilhelm’s new invention, that of sticking a needle on the tip of a banana and hearing the news from all over the world. This morning I was playing with the thing and I heard the most startling news. Edith Spaulding has become insane from overwork and is now coaching the girls’ basketball team in Salem. Twee Isham is also there leading the Rooters Club. See the line of people standing in front of this show-window. What can it be? Oh, look! Doris Condit, beauty specialist, is demonstrating a new freckle lotion which she has perfected. She has put some lotion on the face of her helper, Clara Loughridge, and in just a minute we shall see how it works. Oh! the experiment is perfect. Another stage. We are just in time to hear an announcement. Mademoiselle Mora Baird, a pupil of Pavlowa, will now with her classic and aesthetic dancers interpret the “Swan Song.” How thrilling! I always knew she would become famous in this world. Some of the members assisting her are Theodore Steiwig, Stanley Lawton and Vera Wilbur. The scene changes to a room, greatly resembling a library. I can almost smell the musty books. An old, wizened, dried up man is diligently working at a table in the room. A book. “ The Phrouselufology of Caequitmentorum,” by Elsie Patton, a noted author of the day, lies open before the man. A man-servant mysteriously appears and announces, “Mr. Bailey, a lady to see you, sir.” The man looked up, sighed and answered, “Show her in.” “Ah, Miss Rader, how glad I am to see you,” said Honkie, as a lovely young woman swept into the room. “What can I do for you?” Page Thirteen THEODORE STEIWIG “Ted” His popularity) overwhelms him.

Page Fourteen I know you are awfully busy in your research work, but I just wanted to ask your advice about my two latest pieces of sculpture, ‘Venus at the Pump’ and ‘Spring Has Went’.” So another of the class was a scientist, trying to find why test tubes break, and Zelda a sculptor. Well, well! stranger things have happened. A South Sea island. A wedding is in progress. Mary Wertz is entering the sea of holy matrimony with the high chief of the island. What in the world is the excitement off to one side, and who are the natives holding? It is Helen Smith, missionary to the natives, who has just escaped from the savages of Mary’s realm. She appears and tells Mary that George Cougle and wife, Edna Batman, are ruling one of the adjoining islands where Edna is teaching the people Latin so that she may discourse with them in her native tongue. Another warm scene. The sheik and sheikess of Araby. Who can it be? Seems like the class has been everything, but this really is a surprise. Ah! It is Chester Edgerton explaining to a group of young shieks who are taking lessons from Ethel Hagan, that in 1924 Nettie Coover kidnapped him and took him to the Sahara. Beware of women in leap year,” was his warning at the close of the lecture in the Shiek school. The New York Times office with Irene Jay in the editor's office. A news reporter, Lois Kincaid, has just laid a pile of papers on her desk. “Lois, we have lots of news today about old friends. Listen to this: ‘Marjorie Siegriest, wealthy automobile manufacturer, elopes with Vera Johnston’s arratic husband. Vera says she will not combat the case as she needs a rest. Vera and her husband had been running a restaurant at Three Pines.’ ” Irene picked up another article. “ ‘Mable Potts overcomes Bolsheviks in Russia and is made Czarine.’ My, hasn't our class become famous, though! ‘Paul Allen, who had mysteriously disappeared quite a while ago, has come to light now as the heir to a dukedom over in Luxemburg. He is second Sir Walter Raleigh to Queen Clarice of Sweden. I .a Vita Hough, painter of red-heads, has won heroic glory in her latest picture, with Bert Courtney as her favorite model'. Oh, Lois, listen to this ad: ‘Fishers! See Louis DeGenault for phosphorescent angleworms. The fish, by this means, are able to see the bait in the deep, dark depths of the ocean.’ ” A drawing room. A beautiful blond woman, none other than Louise English, is seated at a piano softly playing ‘‘Love’s Dream” to her husband who is half asleep on a davenport. Another woman comes from a curtained window seat, followed by a man who apparently is an ardent admirer. We can not help but notice with what grace she walks and with a start we realize it is Bessie Sirls, and the man-—Waldo Tucker. Bessie is a favorite in Chicago society, still playing her old game of “Hearts.” No, she is not married, but although Waldo, a farmer in the middle west, claims to be visiting his brother, Hayden, and sister-in-law, we can easily see he has another idea in his head. “It’s time for our guests,” said Louise. “I’ll call the fortune-tellers.” In another minute the chemist and I saw three gypsy fortune tellers whom, although they were covered with paint, we saw clearly were Gwen Milledge, Dessie Coover and Edythe Andrews. Due to their success as gypsies in the class play of 24, these girls formed a company and are now demanded everywhere at all fashionable gatherings, to tell fortunes. The guests have begun to arrive and I see Blaine Pruitt, known as Herr Von Pruitt, owner of a deer farm in Merlin, the metropolis of Oregon, surrounded by an admiring group. Again, as the scene changes, we hear the sweetest singing. Surely, we have never J Page Fifteen NJVItMkI ARTHUR BAILEY Honk” They say he is handsome—is he? History, Mathematics. Baseball 2-3-4.

We see a stage in a Chautauqua tent, and Clara Herbeck dressed in a creation of pale blue cerise is singing Oh, the Selfishness of Men.” Unknown to Clara. LeRoy Stephens, chairman of the Anti-Woman’s League, comes next on the program, speaking upon the subject of “The Dangers of Giving a Woman Her Own Way.” These two old friends have never married and never expect to, so we hear Eli Allen, manager of the Chautauqua, telling his pet snake. Ah, a town in Sweden. How queer, the men all look depressed. The scene passes on and we look into a hall where Iris Burns is speaking to the women on how to use caveman tactics on their husbands. Ah, I am choking! I am suffocating! Will no one help me? I see Carl Oestreich, the chemist, looking at me, but he moves not. The vapor is killing me. I’m----- Say, wake up, Alberta! Can’t you see it’s almost eight o’clock, and time you were at school? What a relief! I had just been asleep in my own bed. Today final exams begin. Edythe Andrews, Bernice Coon, Alberta Shoemake, Chester Edgerton. A BAREFOOT BOY I want to be a barefoot boy. As in the long ago. And walk along in perfect joy. And whistle as I go. With not a care within my heart. And just an eye for birds— I want to walk again apart With father’s flocks and herds. I want to be a boy again, A happy barefoot boy; I want to taste the joy again Of sweets that cannot cloy— I want to wade knee deep in bliss And sun me, all reborn. And spread my toes; my reason’s this: I’m troubled with a corn. Page Seventeen LEWIS DE GENEAULT - •'Lew” Not afraid of lvorl(. Will lie down and go to sleep beside it. Mathematics. Baseball 2.

S. and took up the affairs laid down for us by tradition, and endeavored to climb the ladder of High School life. Indeed, we were Freshmen in every sense of the word but we called our first class meeting and elected for our leaders: Milton Green, President; Albert Smith. Vice President: Ruth Newman, Secretary; Kenneth Tompkins, treasurer, and Harriet Clapp, Student Body Council Representative. For our class advisor and the one to whom we could carry our troubles we chose Miss Yankee. In the middle of the year our quota of ninety-six was raised above the hundred mark. We no longer felt so terribly inferior with a class, which we felt were, somewhat under us. As Sophomores we elected: Milton Green, President; Dorothy Zimmerman, Vice-President; Albert Smith, Secretary; Marie Harbeck. Treasurer, and Catherine Carrell, representative to Student Body Council. Miss Yankee having gone away, we selected Mr. Schenk for our class advisor and friend in time of need. Thus the second year of the class of the blue and gold commenced and terminated and our journey was half completed. 1 his year we took up the roll as Juniors and though with a decrease in numbers we carried on the work which all Juniors before us have been accustomed to do. For our officers we chose: Syd Young, President; Marie Harbeck, Vice President; Ruth Newman. Secretary; Virginia Rengstorff, Treasurer, and Norma Trumbly, representative to Student Body Council. Mr. Schenk was again our choice as advisor. As Juniors we took up the responsibility of such and conducted both the Frosh initiations and other events for which only a junior can qualify. With these accomplishments in view we look forward to being Seniors with all the glory and dignity that goes with it. We cannot however always look ahead and so it is with pride and loyalty that we look back and see the prizes and pennants we have won; the athletes we have sent out on the field and floor; and the friendships we have formed that will last throughout our lives. WE’RE THE CLASS OF ’25 We’re the class that’s won the honors. We’re the dear old High School’s pride. We’re the class that has the numbers. We’re the class of twenty-five. We’ve been Freshies, we’ve been Sophs, We’ve been Juniors true and tried We’ve been cheered and just so. We’re the class of twenty-five. We’ve our colors blue and gold. Our penant is our stay and guide. We’ll shield it and protect it. We’re the class of twenty-five. And when Seniors we become. We’ll always hold our banner high. And bid its glory shine afar, for We’re the class of twenty-five. R. N. ’25.

How dear you are to me? How truly does each word of thine Confirm my love for thee! I’ve been pondering o’er the happy years You love and care the while— Your toil, your sacrifice and tears Concealed beneath a smile. I would not dare to grieve thee. The power of my heart: Your happiness is more to me Than the wealth of any mart. If I can always live my life. Dear little mother o’ mine. Amid the sorrow, toil and strife As sweet and pure as thine. And by sweet communion at the feet Of Christ the Crucified, Lead the wandering ones I meet To His precious bleeding side; Will not this suffice in part For the hours of pleading prayer. For the child whose happy heart Knew no sorrow nor a care? Your tender love has guided me In paths of truth and right— By your sweet counsel teaching me To always do the right. My life, my talents, all I am, I owe to one whose love Shall be my inspiration From earth to Heaven above. God bless you, darling mother! God grant you many days. And keep you, guard you, guide you. O’er all life’s weary ways! If ever I have caused you care, I pray there’ll be no other; My great desire, my earnest prayer: “God make me worthy of my mother!” — Selected. Page Thirty-eight A SOPHOMORE’S PSALM Alden is my teacher, I shall not pass; He leadeth me to answer in deep embarrassment. He calleth my bluff. He leadeth me into the plain figures. Among plus and minuses for my own nourishment. Yea, though I walk with Seniors and Juniors I cannot recite, for they do not help me. Their reason and their logic, they crush me. He prepareth for me a flunking in the presence of my classmates. He showereth upon my head his questions. He showeth me up. Verily, Algebra doth haunt me every hour of my life.

We selected green and white as our class colors, and chose for our officers Margaret Hammerbacher, President; Don McKinstry, Vice President; Dorothy Barnes, Secretary; Mary Colby, Treasurer; Peter Proctor, Representative to the Student Body Council and Miss Laird, Class Advisor. The boys gave the girls a Hallowe’en party at the first of the year which created a better feeling of fellowship in the class. This was followed by several delightful entertainments. On High School Nite we won the pennant offered for the largest number of points. The following year we entered G. P. H. S. as “Sophs.” We chose Peter Proctor for our President, Nahum Baker for our Vice-President; Evelyn Harbeck, Secretary; Harry Barrell. Treasurer, and Elizabeth Fifield, Representative to the Student Body Council. Miss Dennis was chosen as our class advisor. Our class has been very active this year. It won the pennant for the first I 00 per cent subscription to the Scroll, and was well represented in athletics. 1 wo of our members won places on the first debate team.

We chose as officers: Cecil Harmon, President; Claude Loughridge, Vice-President; Loren Tuttle, Treasurer; Florence Matney, Secretary, and Glen ('ole. Sergeant-at-arms. Miss Peat was our choice as class advisor. Not long after we were so enjoyably entertained at the Senior reception, the Sophomores gave us a delightful Hallowe’en Party which we returned in December. In January our number of eighty-one was increased to ninety-three by the Sub-Freshmen, who also received initiation by the Juniors. We have, to the best of our ability, kept in the race throughout the year and we feel we have been quite successful as two of our members Audley Egger and Theodore Ward, made the first football team and Loren Tuttle was chosen assistant yell leader. We hope to do much better next year. Norma—A penny for your thoughts. Pete—I was thinking of going. Mr. I rumbly (at head of stairs)—Give him half a dollar, Norma; it’s worth it.

I he first one was sent far away to a floral exhibition, won a prize, was praised by all. and received the title, “Queen of All Roses. “To be admired,” she said, “is the best thing in life,” and then she withered and was thrown away. 1 he second one a lover gave to his beloved, who kissed the rose and carried the flower at her heart, whispering to her a thousand tender, endearing words filled with the ancient poetry of love and longing. “To be loved,” said this rose, that is the best thing in life, and then she faded and was put in a pot-pourri-jar, where soon her existence was forgotten. The third rose nobody plucked and nobody saw, but the winds came and caressed her, the rain cooled and kissed her, and butterflies came to drink honey from her lips, and even when she was old and her soft velvety petals were falling off, she found that out of her heart had grown a sweet red fruit which still could give pleasure and delight. To live, simply to live, that is the best thing in life,” said this rose; and I am almost certain she was right. I. B. ’24. OUR G. P. H. S. FIGHT There comes a question to our minds sometimes when we are in a thoughtful mood. We ask. “What is the meaning of all this activity on our campus? To what end, and what inspires this ‘pep’ idea?” We doubt sometimes if it is real, if the groups of boys and girls who win our games are not actuated, after all, by a desire for personal glory and for applause. We come to think of our teams as cliques into which some are lucky enough to penetrate. Our officers, our leaders, all are at heart pursuing their own ambitions—so we think! Our men upon the diamond, our women who are fighting for debate, it may be that even they at heart and in their secret souls may doubt their own sincerity. But they are mistaken—it is not true! It’s just a species of self-deception. We feel that way because, just growing into real life as we are. the little deceits of civilization loom large before our eyes, so that sometimes we do not see the good, solid foundation beneath them. Our teams are working for the school. The spirit which sends our debaters upon the floor with minds alert and the confidence of preparation is one of loyalty to the school. The spirit which keeps the football man going—fighting with cleat marks on his face or sand in his eyes, or with twisted knee—is the spirit which he sees reflected in the eyes of the old school on the side lines! It’s the spirit of the crisis which keeps the basketball girl from quitting when she’s all in”—the thought that it is the honor of the school that depends on her! We all have it—that do or die spirit—if we just knew it. It's a glorious thing to fight for the school and know it’s fighting for you. Let’s all work together for the best there is—let’s prove to ourselves and to everyone else that we can win and will win, because WE'VE ALL GOT THAT GOOD OLD G. P. H. S. FIGHT! — D. B. ’24. Page Forty-seven THE WORTH OF A DIPLOMA Your diploma is a wonderful thing to hang on the wall in a gilt frame, and show to your friends that you have graduated from old G. P. H. S., the best school in all the west, but in the big problems of life, like earning your daily bread, it isn’t worth a hill of beans unless there is something behind it to show for your four years of school and your parents’ sacrifice. If three-fourths of your diploma belongs to Jimmy Jones or Johnny Smith, you have simply cheated yourself out of that much. Some day an important decision will fall to you. You will not have Johnny’s shoulder to look over and you will fail. You have simply missed your opportunity, and Jimmy or Johnny will step up ahead. So remember that the diploma is worth the paper it’s written on and credits stand for nothing unless you have earned them. When the diploma is handed you. be sure you can receive it with a clear conscience, and that it belongs to you. — S. D. ’24. ALICE IN WONDERLAND—Q. E. D. One day Lee Houck told Peggy Roy that in the “Hayesy Don of the morning he would take her out to see some of his “Patton “Coon traps. The next morning instead of a “Coon” in the trap they found a “Twee” “Baird.” When they turned it out it was very happy for it had been “Britten by some animal and it flew away squawking, “Cou-gle, Cou-gle.” Lee Blained” all the trouble on a “Coun-t-roy” “Jay” who lived over on the “Milledge.” Although they were told to “Harry-beck,” Lee said he would bring the “Lawton the “Sirly” Lois-e.” Well, on the way over they had to cross the “Jordan on a “Perry” which “Myer-ed” down because it was too “Hough’y.” While they were waiting for a “Smithy” and a “Shoemake” to get some boards off some old “Barnes” to pry them out with. Lee decided he could “Courtney Peggy and he began “Edgerton” up to her. But Peggy got “Mad’i’so(n), told Lee that he had no “Ringuette so they would have a “Spalding match and whoever won would get his name in the “Currier.” When they got started out again on land they saw two “Husseys” coming. Peggy, fearing for Lee, yelled, “Dodson, Dodson.” Lee dodged so hard that he was “Bo’ ” “Tuckered” out. so they sat down to study their “English. At this time a Tuffy” came along with a large “Bunch” of “Iris” which he had gathered on the “Burns” side of the hill. Peggy being hungry, got out the Potts” and “Crocketts she had brought from her “Garrett” and proceeded to open the “(Mc)Canned” “Oestreich and the Borden’s” cream, which she had brought along for lunch. She then put some Coovers” over the food and started out to look for Lee. When she saw an awful looking “Batman” who was an escaped Condit,” come running toward her yelling, I’ll ’Egger,’ I’ll Egger’.” Just then the phone rang “Dellinger” and woke Peggy up, and when she answered it was Lee, who said that he had an awful dream and was “All-en this morning and didn’t feel like going. — Coonie ’24. Page Forty-eight Athletics Page Forty-nine COACH BROWN Our esteemed coach has won a place in the hearts of the students, who will always remember and honor him. By hard work and unquenchable enthusiasm he has awakened our school spirit and interest in athletics. He has taught us the real meaning of sportsmanship and has given us something worth while to work for. Mr. Brown’s name will forever be praised in the history of old Grants Pass High as a real friend and guide. With the new gymnasium next year and a peppy Student Body, Coach Brown will be able to accomplish great things. Back him up and give him your loyal support! We need him to raise the standard of our athletics. Page Fifty FOOTBALL SUMMARY Grants Pass has at last made a great stride forward in regaining the reputation which she has had in athletic events. I he improvement in football has probably been one of the most noticeable. Six letter men returned this year, and with this half dozen as a nucleus Coach Brown was able to build up a team—not a winning team, perhaps, but a team that knew the game; played it for the love of sport and the honor of the school. The group of huskies who were raw material in the past season will form the foundation for a bigger, faster team in the coming year. Great enthusiasm and interest was shown by the Student Body and townspeople as well as those practicing on the field, from the beginning of the season. The enthusiasm did not abate in the least, even after Grants Pass met several inglorious defeats at the hands of opposing teams. The first game of the season was played with Ashland, which resulted in a victory of one point for Grants Pass. The following games were absolute vistories for the other teams, except the third game, when Grants Pass again met Ashland in a very close game ending in a score of 6—6. THE SEASON’S SCORES Ashland .......................... 6 Medford .........................27 Roseburg .........................27 Klamath Falls ....................14 Eugene ...........................28 Ashland ........................ 6 Grants Pass...................... 7 Grants Pass...................... 0 Grants Pass...................... 0 Grants Pass...................... 6 Grants Pass..................... 0 Grants Pass.................... 6 LEAP YEAR SOLILOQUOY To marry, or not to marry, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The jeers and banters of outraged females. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles. And by proposing, end them. To court; to marry; To be a bach no more; and, by marriage, end The heartache, and the thousand and one ills Bachelors are heir to; ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. But the dread of something after Makes us rather bear the ills we have Than to fly to others we know not of. Page Fifty-one Page Fifty-two FOOTBALL CARETT CROCKETT.

A large number of girls, including the eight who made up the first team, as well as those who formed the second team, turned out all through the season and made victories possible. Special efforts were made by the Coach to teach the girls the value of quick, sure passing and clear head work. There were fourteen games played, including the two practice games with the Alumni and the Womans Club. Of these games, ten were victories for Grants Pass, one with Medford was a tie, and two played with Ashland were lost. The two games with Ashland stand out as the closest and hardest fought of the season, and we are satisfied that Ashland holds somewhat the same opinion. Grants Pass feels that the Girls’ Basketball team has established a record that they can be proud of. The best of all is that the town was behind them, as shown by the large crowds at the games. With Mr. Brown reutrning and high hopes for a new gymnasium, we know that girls’ basketball will not be one of the least along the line of athletics next year.

Edith S.—Why, it was old styled. It was even buttoned down the back. Page Fifty-six 1924 BASEBALL SEASON I he baseball season opened early this year, and Coach Brown began showing the fellows the principals of the game. A batting cage was erected and a great deal of time was spent making Babe Ruths of the fellows. The baseball turnout was not as large as it might have been but Brown was able to round up a fast nine. The line up is as follows: Bailey twirling with Crockett holding down the catching department. Bilderback at first with Smith on second, Hendren covering third and Green at short. The outfielding positions are filled by Tuffy Tucker, Wade and Russell, Powell and Eggers substituting. 1 he first game of the season was played at Ashland where the Grants Pass boys showed their skill with the “stick,” and defeated the Ashlanders 12 to 3, few errors were made and the battery showed up real well. 1 he following day at Klamath Falls, our boys took another game, 1 6 to 15, which was not as good an exhibition as the game with Ashland. The ground being in an extremely rough condition and the players not doing their best 1 he prospects for valley championship looks favorable, and the fellows are working hard toward that end. It only takes a wedding To make a fellow learn; He thought that she was his’n But found that he was her’n. Page Fifty-seven TRACK At the close of the football season track seemed to be the chief interest. As the days drifted along however the interest grew less and less until by the time real training began about nine boys were working. Johnie Hendren and Milt Green came out for the high jump; Gap Powell for the pole vault, and Paul Kincaid for the discus. Green, Honk Bailey and Paddy Rimer are training for the dashes and La Verne Jess, Aub Walker and Don Barnes for distances. The Southern Oregon meet for 1924 will be held in Medford. M. D.—An ocean is very much like a human being. D. B.—Why is that? M.

Cleo Massie—(After Huck Knapp had given a biography of Edgar Allen Poe) —I think he was married, wasn’t he? Huck Knapp—Yes, he was married but his wife died again. Just because a man marries a widow by the name of Elizabeth who has two children, would you say that he gets a second hand Lizzie and two runabouts? Bill—(Translating his Latin lesson)—“Three times I strove to cast my arms around her neck, and--.” That is as far as I got. Miss Moore—Well, that’s far enough. Paddy Rimer—Well, Aub has gone astray. Too bad. Frank Day-—Why is that? What has happened now? Paddy Rimer—I don’t know, but today 1 heard him whistling Why Did i Kiss That Girl.” The annual is a great invention. The school gets all the fame. The printer gets all the money And the staff gets all the blame. Page Fifty-eight ORGANIZATIONS Page Fifty-nine STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Hayden Tucker Dorotha Egger Dorothy Barnes Catherine Carrell - President Vice President - Secretary T reasurer 1 he Student Body officers for the year 1923-24 have been very active in our high school life. They represent the three upper classes; the President and Vice President being Seniors, the Secretary a Sophomore, and the Treasurer a Junior. Under their splendid leadership the Student Body has accomplished a great deal and their positions have been faithfully fulfilled. 1 hey together with the Principal, make up the executive committee. Caller—So your son, Syd, is working at Horning’s. How is he getting on? Mrs. Young—Splendidly. He already knows who ought to be discharged, and is merely waiting to get promoted so that he can attend to it. Father—It’s nearly midnight and Edith’s young man hasn’t gone home yet.” Little Brother (in next room)—He can’t, papa; sister’s sittin’ on him. Mr. Hepp—Virginia, how did the cliff-dwellers keep warm in winter. Virginia Roy—Why, I guess they used mountain ranges. My husband declares he married for beauty and brains.” “Oh, then you aren’t his first wife!” Page Sixty STUDENT BODY COUNCIL 1 he Student Body Council which is composed of fourteen members, namely; the President of the S. B., Vice President of the S. B., Secretary of S. B., Treasurer of S. B., the President of each class, four class representatives, the Principal, and one other faculty advisor, is an asset to our school. Being a representative body its powers and duties cover every branch of school activity. I he Student Body as a whole should more fully appreciate the Council for it is through that organized group that the school is able to progress in a systematic, Americanized fashion. A little Italian boy was going to tend to his father’s fruit stand. His father was giving him instructions, as he could not speak much English. ‘‘Now,’’ he said “if anyone asks you how much the bananas are, tell them,‘‘two for five, if they ask ‘are they good bananas?' tell them, ‘some are and some are not.’ And then, if they don’t buy any, say, ‘If you don’t some one else will’.” And he left the boy with the fruit stand. After a while a man who was in a hurry came along and said, “Say, kid, what time is it?” “ 1 wo for five,” answered the boy. ‘Tor heaven’s sake, are you Italians all crazy? inquired the exasperated man. Some are and some are not,” answered the boy. I he man, thinking the boy was fooling him, was now thoroughly angry. “I’ve a notion to whip you for your impudence,” he exclaimed. If you don’t someone else will,” said the boy, serenely. Page Sixty-one THE HI G CLUB The Hi G Club is the first organization of Grants Pass Letter Men of which there is any record. It was inaugurated late in November after the football men were released from training. It includes in its roll all students who have won Student Body emblems. At its second meeting a constitution was adopted and officers nominated. At its third meeting Donald Barnes was elected Hi Gi; Edith Spalding, Vice Hi Gi; Arthur Bailey, Write Gi; and Virginia Rengstorff, Due Gi. The aim of the Hi G Club incorporated in its constitution is the preservation and reinforcement of the “Old Grants Pass Fight,” especially in athletics and forensics. Already it has successfully sponsored several activities of materia) benefit to the school. It was responsible for the turnout which dug the jumping pit. It undertook the ammend-ments of the Constitution in reference to the qualifications for letter men and initiated the idea and form of the permanent letter design. 1 here is a wide field for its enthusiastic activities which it undertakes under the slogan; “Let’s work!” Soph.—I wish this rain would keep up. Bright Freshie—Why then it wouldn’t come down and we need it. “What is your favorite book?” My bank book; but that is lacking in interest now-a-days.” An excuse received by Mr. Hepp: Dear Principal—Please excuse Don’s absence. He fell and broke his leg. By doing the same, you will oblige. Mrs. McKinstry. Page Sixty-two THE GIRLS’ RESERVE Before school was out last year the Girl Reserves selected as their cabinet for this year: President. Arda Isham; Vice President. Clara Harbeck; Secretary. Elsie Patton; treasurer. Irene Jay; Chairman of the Membership Committee. Bernice Coon; Chairman of the Social Committee. Catherine Carrell; Chairman of the Program Committee. LaVita Hough; Chairman of Service Committee. Elizabeth Fifield; Miss Peat, Miss Dennis, Miss Catterson, Mrs. Thrasher, Mrs. Mishler and Mrs. Hart were selected as advisors. At the beginning of the year Arda Isham resigned and Clara Harbeck. the Vice President, took her place. 1 he first stimulus to action was the arrival of Miss Price, representing headquarters at New York, who talked first to the cabinet members and then to the Girls Reserve as a whole, encouraging and aiding them a great deal. The next event was a Girls Reserve party at the High School to which all members and those interested in joining were invited. 1 he time was delightfully spent in playing games, singing, and visiting. A program consisting of: Solos by Bessie Sirls and Marjore Snider; piano solo by Alice Thompson; reading by Elizabeth Fifield, and short talks. I he ceremonial took place a week later in the Presbyterian Church at which the new members were initiated through the usual candle-service. After this a program of a solo by Catherine Carrell, a piano solo by Doris Condit and reports of the various committees took place. To the girls who are not Reserves we wish to tell you that you are missing something really worth while and enjoyable. Other meetings will be held before the close of the year and election of next year’s cabinet will take place at the final meeting of the year. Page Sixty-three PYTHAGOREAN CLUB The Pythagorean Club entered its third year November 14, 1923, with Don Baines, President; Edith Spalding, Vice-President; Vera Wilbur, Secretary, and Chester Edgerton, Treasurer. Since then the club has more than doubled in size. The Pythagorean Club holds its meetings on the second Wednesday of each month. The business meeting comes first, then the program, problems and games, followed by refreshments. At the end of each year the Pythagoreans have a bonfire and outdoor supper to terminate the routine of meetings. JUNIOR GIRLS’ CLUB At the beginning of the school year the Junior Girls organized a Club, following in the footsteps of the Juniors Girls a year ago. Beginning in the usual way, they elected officers and prepared for a party. This first event was a topsy-turvey party which proved to be a great success. The hall was decorated for Christmas, although it was long before that time of the year. Different rooms were decorated to represent other seasons of the year and in them stunts of various kinds were pulled off. The officers chosen were: President, Patricia Gale; Vice President, Virginia Reng-storff; Secretary, Bertha Giggler, and Treasurer, Norma Trumbly. Miss Mitchell was chosen as the Faculty Advisor. Other good times are looked forward to by this Club before its name ceases to be applied to this class of ’25. It is hoped that the Junior Girls in years to come will carry on this precedent, established by the class of ’24, and enjoy many good times such as has previously been experienced. Page Sixty-four THE CICERONIAN SOCIETY The Ciceronian Society was organized this year for the purpose of creating an interest in Latin. All who have taken or are taking second year Latin are permitted to join. TTiis Society meets on the last Thursday of each month; the evening is spent in the business of the Society and a social time. The officers are: Consul Primus. Carl Oestreich; Consul Secundus, Edna Batman; Quaestor, Elinor Cougle; Scribus, Wade Harmon. At the end of the year the Ciceronian Society will present a cup to the best student in first year Latin. THE SPANISH CLUB Late in the year, almost too late to have many meetings the Spanish Club organized, electing as President, Helen Smith; Vice-President, Helen Bunch; Secretary, Vera Wilbur, and I reasurer, Ruth Newman. In the short time not much could be accomplished but it is hoped that it will be taken up soon after school begins next year and more interest taken throughout the year. Miss Mitchell—How many ribs have you? Halcyon Tucker—I don't know Ma’am; I’m so awfully ticklish I never counted them. Drug Clerk-—What kind of a tooth-brush do you want sir? Customer-Gimme a big one, sir, there's ten in my family. Page Sixty-five DRAMATICS Dramatics this year was purely optional with the students. No credit was given and no school time allowed for it. Nevertheless a large number of students turned out and as a result several successful plays were given under the able leadership of Miss Moore. The first was given in connection with other features of a Thanksgiving program. It was called a “Case of Suspension” and was adapted to local surroundings. The next and biggest play, given the week before Christmas, was “Dicken’s Christmas Carol.” consisting of Bill Madison as “Scrooge, Harry Barrell as “Marley, Marjorie Snider, Inez Fulk and Dorothy Barnes as the three “spirits,” Milton Green as the nephew, Fred and Babe Linkhart as the clerk. The same evening another, though shorter play, “The Maker of Dreams, was given with Don Barnes, the “Maker of Dreams,” Syd Young and Elizabeth Fifield, Pierrot and Pierret, respectively. The latter two portrayed the lives of an actor and actress, both in love but not with each until the “Maker of Dreams” visited them. Less interest was taken along this line in the spring, however, with the Senior Play, High School Nite, and other activities not much time could be given to it. We look forward to some very successful plays in the future. ■ 0 Mother—No, Albert one piece of cake is quite sufficient. Pete S.—Alright, but I don’t see how you can expect me to eat nicely when you won’t let me have enough material to practice on. Page Sixty-six JUNIOR STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 1 he first Junior State Chamber of Commerce of the School was organized this year. Any student taking Commercial subjects was entitled to join. Only students having at least two years of Commercial work were eligible to hold office. The following officers were elected: Virginia Roy. President: Clara Loughridge, Secretary: Lee Houck. I reasurer, and a committee consisting of three, Drea Conroy, Syd Young, and Vida Williams. 1 he organization of the Committee was important because it consulted the Chamber of Commerce of our city with the work we were to carry on. A membership plate was received from the State Chamber of Commerce at Portland. An old fashioned party was given at the High School, February 19. Every one present was dressed in old fashioned clothes. After the Virginia reel had been danced and a short program given, the guests were served light refreshments. Grants Pass High has the most polite boy in the state. When Elsie apologized for gouging Huck in the eye with a parasol, he said: “Don’t mention it, girlie, I have another one.” A man was coming home drunk one night. He started to cut across a lawn and ran into a little tree. He circled around, tried it again, and hit it once more. Then he sat down by the foot of it, and began to cry. “Losht,” he wept, “losht in an imprenetrable foresht.” Page Sixty-seven THE DEBATING TEAMS Grants Pass High School took up her hobby of debating again this year. Through the coaching of Mr. Alden and the cooperation of a number of students from each of the classes a successful attempt was made. The first were interclass debates in which the Sophomore and Senior teams came out ahead. These teams then met and the Seniors claimed the honors. The Freshman team was comprised of Mary Bramwell and Glenn Cole; the Juniors of Doris Lowden and Ruth Harmon; the Sophomores of Lavern Batman and Helen Bunch, and the Seniors of Carl Oestreich and Leona Currier. Then came the scheduled debates, first with Medford, then with Ashland, and then with Phoenix. Medford gave in with a two to one decision, but the debate with Ashland spelled defeat for Grants Pass. Phoenix, also lost, with a two to one decision. The subject for discussion was: Resolved that the Cabinet Form of State Government Should be Adopted in Oregon.” The Senior team supported the negative and the Sophomore team that of the affirmative. Ashland will represent Southern Oregon at the final meet. Mr. Hepp (to tardy pupil)—Why are you late? Don B.—Well, a sign down here-” Mr. Hepp—Well, what has a sign got to do with it? Don B.—The sign said, School Ahead; Go Slow.” Page Sixty-eight PUBLICATIONS Publications reflect the life of the school. Here we find blended, our interests and pride. We find also the result of hard work, planning, and talent—a token of remembrance for future years when we look back on the golden past. We can measure its value best by trying, just for a moment, to realize what the school would be without it—the lack of interest that its absence would create. Here we find emphasized most of all the value of cooperation—the secret of achievement. Let us not, then, look upon it as a mere occurrence, let us value it, cherish the traditions it involves, and keep its future welfare always at heart. it is the link between athletics and the Student Body; it is the link between High School life and College life; it is the link between scholarship and the business world. It is all that school spirit and pep involve—it is the life of the school. It is now to the future that we turn our thoughts—to the work that you. the underclassmen, must carry on. We have no reason, though, but to hope for the best and to see in the dim future cooperation and success as we have known it. A PRAYER Katherine Scobey Putman (Exchange) I rose and missed the glowing light That yestermorn had made earth bright. And glancing westward thrilled to see The gleaming red sent back to me From windows in an old barn loft. Which glowed like jewels rich and soft. I turned and through the house still gray Ran east to greet the dawning day. The scene! The source! How calm it seemed! Untroubled through the mists it gleamed. May I so live, reflecting light. That others, though engulfed in night. May catch the gleam, and feel the urge. That drives them on. though billows surge. To find the light, the source, the sun. The living God, the perfect One. Page Sixty-nine THE SCROLL The bi-monthly publication, “The Scroll,” has again been a feature and the pride of our school. Each year it proves more successful and of more interest to the students and this year its size increased with the interest. Soon after our school work was well established, nominations were made and the election held for the editor and manager. 1 his accomplished, the staff was chosen, a campaign for subscriptions was put on and as a result every other Wednesday night after school has found us standing in line to receive our Scroll. 1 he campaign put on at the beginning of the second semester received even more response than the first. Every class that went a 1 00 per cent strong for it was to receive a pennant and as a result of this the Sophomore, Senior and Junior pennants proudly bear a “Scroll pennant.” We all know this paper could not have been put out if it had not have had the support of the students back of it, together with the ability of both the editor and manager. Cooperation means accomplishment and so we wish the best of success and co-operaion to the future supporters and staff of the Scroll. As is planned, election of next year’s editor and manager will be held before this year closes, in order that work may be commenced on its publication immediately after school begins. Page Seventy THE TOKA The “ Toka this year has undergone a change in the system of management which it is hoped will tend to make a bigger, greater Toka in years to come. Under this system the Editor-in-Chief and Manager are chosen from the Senior class. Several students in the Junior class, picked for their business and literary ability, are taken as assistants to the Editor and Manager. Then in their Senior year they are candidates for the offices of Editor and Manager. In this way, the assistant is familiar with the work and can more easily and more ably carry on the work required of him. This is the first experience the “loka” has had under this system and so far it is succeeding remarkably well. All indoor groups and single pictures were taken by Mrs. Bancroft of the ‘‘Picture Mill.” The success of the “Toka” is due to a great extent to the splendid work done on the pictures, and the staff appreciates the interest and consideration shown the students by Mrs. Bancroft and also the Artcraft Studio, who took the outdoor group pictures. The engraving was done by the West Coast Engraving Co. and the printing by the Grants Pass Courier. Mr. Meant-to has a comrade. And his name is didn’t-do; Have you ever chanced to meet them?

Page Seventy-two Our High School’s greatest need now that we are going to have a new building and gymnasium, is a musical department, with regular music teachers and where music could be studied as an elective. This would not apply to Glee Clubs only but to a band and orchestra as well. Grants Pass has an unusual amount of musical talent among its high school students and could, with very little effort, develop a department of music worthy of note. Everyone, old or young, enjoys music, and it is an essential factor in the spirit and life of the school. A football or baseball game seems hardly “all there” without a band; any entertainment is doubly interesting with an orchestra to fill in between times. In the case of athletic events, a band seems to lend a greater spirit and enthuses the onlookers. Taking the economical side of the question, we know that every time an orchestra is hired, so much money is taken from the treasury. If we had our own orchestra, this expense would be saved and many more entertainments could be given. A. S. ’24. Say, if fortification is a bag fort, what is ratification? Page Seventy-three Page Seventy-four SENIOR CLASS PLAY OF 1924 “THE GYPSY ROVER” MUSICAL COMEDY Sir Gilbert Howe of the English nobility, was stolen when a baby, from his home, by his nurse. Meg (Dorotha Egger). who later married a gypsy. Marto (Blaine Pruitt), and took the stolen boy with her to live among the gypsies. The boy grew up believing his name to be Rob, and knowing no other parents than Meg and Marto. One day while riding with her fiance. Lord Craven (Paul Allen), Lady Constance (Bessie Sirls), daughter of Sir George Martendale (Arthur Bailey), became lost in the woods and wandered into the gypsy camp where she met Rob (LeRoy Stephens). I he two immediately fell in love with each other, despite the protests of Lord Craven. After Lady Constance left. Rob was filled with loneliness. He determined to go to Sir George Martendale’s home and see his lady love. After serenading her, he succeeded in obtaining entrance to her room. The two planned to elope, but were overheard by the jealous Lord Craven, who immediately told Sir George. As a result, Rob was thrown into prison, but succeeded in escaping. After two years had elapsed, Rob came into his inheritance, Meg having resolved to reveal his identity. He became exceedingly popular in social circles and returned to the Martendale estates. Sir George gladly gave to Sir Gilbert Howe the hand of Lady Constance, which he had refused to Gypsy Rob. Zara (Gwen Milledge) and Sinfo (Chester Edgerton) presented an interesting love scene in gypsy fashion, while Nina (Eleanor Cougle) and Captain Jerome (Donald Barnes) showed how the same thing was done in English style. Sir I oby Lyon ( Theodore Stiewig), a society butterfly, and McCorkle (Eli Allen), a song publisher, were both friends of Sir George. The operetta was excellently given under the splendid direction of Miss Moore.

The latter took the best and through the ability of Dorotha Egger and the cooperation of Miss Moore and Miss Mitchel we have been favored with many of these programs. The first one, coming the early part of December comprised: A Swiss song by Marie Passons. a reading by Elizabeth Fifield, “Peg ’O Niel” by Zelda Rader and the Senior Boys Ouartet. the “Highland Fling by Mary Day, and a skit by Dorothy Jewell, Margaret Hammerbacher and Bill Madison. The second of the series was given sometime later, in which Louise English and Catherine Carrell gave piano solos, Helen Bunch a recitation and eight of our little” girls, fittingly dressed in overalls and strawhats, portrayed “Ding-toes.” Another program which was enjoyed a great deal by the students and rendered the last week in January consisted of: Talks by the delegates to the Eugene Conference, Catherine Carrell, Irene Jay. and Blame Pruitt, a solo by Lucile Hayes; readings by Ada Shoemake, Elizabeth Fifield and Doris Patrick, and some clever clown dances by Bessie Sirls. This special program was supervised by Helen Bunch. ’Tis sweet to love But Oh! how bitter. To love a girl And then not gitter! Alvin Erickson. Page Seventy-six GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Glee Clubs were instituted in our school by Miss Mitchell to satisfy a much felt need for some musical organization. Large numbers of girls responded for the first few meetings, but it has since settled down into a somewhat smaller, but active group, who by their faithful attendance and perseverance have worked up some very good music. They chose as their President, Dorotha Egger; Vice-President, Catherine Carrell; Secretary-Treasurer, Virginia Roy; Librarian, Helen Bunch, and Louise English, Pianist. The Glee Clubs have served the worthy purpose of keeping the musical spirit alive in our school this year. ’Twas the night before payday, and all through my jeans I’d hunted in vain for the ways and the means. Not a quarter was stirring, not even a jit. Tile kale was off duty, the greenbacks had quit. Forward, turn forward, O Time in thy flight. And make it tomorrow just for tonight. Page Seventy-seven BOYS’ CHORUS Boys Chorus was organized this year for the first time since the war. About twenty boys responded to the call and soon W'orked up some classical songs. Catherine Carrell was chosen as their pianist and after several meetings the following officers were elected: Blaine Pruitt, President: Chester Edgerton. Vice-President; James Cline, Secretary-Treasurer, and Paul Kincaid, Librarian. Under the leadership of Miss Mitchell the chorus is showing much improvement and we hope the work will continue next year. “NEVER THOUGHT TO THINK” It does seem kind of” funny. When you just sit down to think. And you find you’re thinking hungry. But you never thought to think. There are thoughts that might have cost a lot. And there are thoughts that made you think. There are thoughts that haven’t been thought, ’Cause you never thought to think. I wonder if you’d concentrate. And just get down and think.

October 5, at the Senior Reception. The first part of the evening was spent in signing Get Acquainted Cards” which aroused a feeling of good fellowship. Following this a most entertaining program was given that consisted of the following numbers: A violin solo by La Vita Hough: a duet. “Smarty,” by Irene Jay and Arleta Myers: vocal solo by Eleanor Cougle: a selection by the boys quartet composed of LeRoy Stephens, Chester Edgerton, Don Barnes and Blaine Pruitt: and a one-act play Graduation of the Dramatic Club of Punkinville Center.” The cast consisted of “Stammering Stelie, Clara Harbeck; Forgetful Fanny,” Twee Isham; “Bashful Bessie,” Grace Roberts: “Romantic Rosie,” Iris Burns: “Giggling Gertrude,” Drea Conroy: and the school ma’am, Eleanor Cougle. The hall and assembly were decorated in blue and white and punch and wafers were served. Mr. and Mrs. Mishler and faculty members acted as patrons and patronesses. � o FOOTBALL BANQUET The football banquet was a huge success even though it was put on a little late in the season. Girls of the domestic science class prepared the food and decorated the table which was exquisite. In the center of the table and suspended from the ceiling was a football from which draperies of blue and white were hung. Small footballs were used for place cards which were very appropriate for the occasion. Mr. Mishler acted as toastmaster and Mr. Blanchard spoke of his football experiences. Dr. Steams also gave a short talk, which was followed by Pete Allen, a former high school student. Mr. Mishler then asked for the sentiment of the boys, which was answered by Milton Green and LeRoy Stephens. Later Mr. Hepp and Mr. Brown gave talks assuring every one that, even if we were only Cavemen’s Cubs we would grow up some day and beat our old rivals, Ashland and Medford, and that while working and growing in athletics it would not only help us physically but also mentally, for you must think quickly and act quickly to play a good game. Complain and you’ll gain The hatred of men. Keep still and you will Have their liking again. Page Seventy-nine SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN PARTY I he underclassmen spent the evening in playing games. A program in the assembly was also given. The halls were decorated in red and silver, the Freshman colors. Sandwiches, punch and cookies were served for refreshments to the students and the several faculty members who chaperoned. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PARTY On Friday evening, December 28, 1923, a party was given for the Sophomores by the Freshmen. The halls were attractively decorated in green and white, Sophomore colors, and the entertainment for the evening was very unique. Both classes were divided into seven families: The Kill ’Em Quick Snowball. Peck. Van der Morgan, Dramaticus, Comics and Swatterbeans. Each member of a family came dressed to represent their respective names. A program was put on bv each family in seven different rooms. After the families had each visited the other and been entertained they went to the assembly where a stunt was given. Games were then played and refreshments served. THE FOOTBALL RALLY Just before the first football game of the season with Medford was to be played preparations were made for a grand “Rally” the Friday night before the game. An immense bonfire, constructed by the Freshmen was the main feature, in the light of which each class pulled off a stunt, featuring Grants Pass’ coming victory and Medford’s coming defeat. A campaign had been carried on shortly before for the paying of Student Body Dues to the extent that classes which did not reach a I 00 per cent would have to give the others a treat and if all the classes reached that goal the faculty would treat. Owing to the fact that all the classes reached the 100 per cent mark the faculty took this occasion to pull off their stunt, as they called it. When the time came for us to behold it we found a weenie and bun and apple for each of us, for which we take this opportunity to thank them. Following this was the serpentining of Sixth street and the marching through the theatre at which time a number of our girls garbed in blue rough necks and white skirts mounted the stage and sang our High School Song. In G. P. H. S. we call gum an elective subject because they needn’t take it unless they chews. Page Eighty PYTHAGOREAN ANNUAL PICNIC Friday afternoon, April 18, was the day set for the annual Pythagorean picnic, to which a number of prospective members were invited. After the game, cars were waiting at the High School and almost the entire club was transported to Quartz Creek beyond Three Pines to spend the evening in picnic fashion. Games were played until after supper and then the bonfire became the center of attraction. Next was the initiation of two new members by tossing them up in a blanket. It looked so inviting that a number of others tried it and reported it as being great fun. About nine o’clock the picnickers were invited to stop at Don’s home and were there treated with punch and cookies. After some songs were sung around the Barnes’ piano the homeward journey was begun which terminated a very delightful evening. Many of the guests expressed a determination to become Pythagoreans next year and we feel that much interest will be taken in the club next year. � r GIRLS’ RESERVE EASTER CEREMONIAL During the latter part of the spring the eighth period of every other Wednesday afternoon was turned over to the Girls Reserve. In this way a great deal more could be accomplished and preparations are being made for next year. Through this an Easter Ceremonial was made possible in which those interested could become acquainted with the work of the Girls Reserve. The Ceremonial was held in the afternoon at the Presbyterian Church and those who attended were favored with a very interesting and instructive talk by Rev. Hart of that Church. JUNIOR-SENIOR PICNIC Always before this year the Juniors paid their final tribute to the Seniors with a farewell banquet, but this year they overstepped the lines of custom and made it a picnic instead. Leaving about eight in the morning on the third of May, the care-free upperclassmen started for Hell’s Gate to spend a day of hiking, picnicking and many other sports, culminating in a sort of a barbeque in the evening. Who could have anything but the best kind of a time on such an occasion as this? oo JUNIOR FLUNK DAY All the other classes began to wonder and question when Junior Flunk Day would be until the afternoon of the twenty-second of April when the Juniors failed to come to school. I hen the worry was over! At about 1 o’clock they assembled at the Court House and started out for Louse Creek in cars. The picnic supper consisted of weiners, marshmallows, sandwiches, and other goodies, and at a comparatively late hour the picnickers started on their return trip all agreeing that they had had a wonderful time. Page Eighty-one SENIOR GIRLS ENTERTAINED I he dining room of the Josephine Hotel presented a very attractive scene at I :00 o’clock. Saturday. March 29. It was at this time that the College Club entertained the Senior girls. 1 his delightful occasion was charmingly arranged by the College ladies. Each girl found her place at the table by a daintily written placecard. Each girl found at her place a program, the outside of which was decorated with a hand-painted pennant, representing the college of some one member. After partaking of the delicious four-course luncheon, a very interesting program was rendered. One number which was not on the program but which was very much appreciated was a solo by Mr. Martineau. 1 oast Mistress Call of the Roll Old College Days of Mine Limitations in Educational Advantages Lovers of My College Days Entering College Good 1 imes at College Expectations - - Mrs. George Sabin Mrs. Robert Borland Mrs. W. W. Canby Mrs. W. J. Mishler M rs. Frances Kern Mrs. R. W. Steams Mrs Neil Allen Dorotha Egger 1 he most unique part of the program was the roll call. Each member of the club responded to her name with the name of her college. In this way the girls were able to see how many colleges were represented. At the close of the program the women sang some college songs and the girls responded with both high school songs. The Senior girls deeply appreciated the kind thought extended to them by the ladies of the College Club. It has inspired them with a desire for a higher education and a hope to some day be one of them. GIRLS’ RESERVE ATTEND CONFERENCE AT MEDFORD Only a small delegation attended the annual conference for the Girls Reserve this year at Medford but what they brought back to us from the meeting proved that it was very much worth while and beneficial. They were favored with a talk by Miss Price, Pacific Coast Girls Reserve Worker, on the problems, enlargement, and influence of clubs in the community—also by the discussions on: The standing of work, play, love and worship in a community, headed by Miss Nell McKeen, the Y. W. C. A. secretary. Other interesting talks and readings were given, including the experiences of a Red Cross nurse, who had spent a year, in Czecho-Slavia. After the program the girls were given a very delightful banquet and were then taken to the armory where they watched the basketball games between the Medford and Ashland boys’ and girls’ teams. Sunday morning the girls, in costume, attended services in a body at the Baptist Church, and in the afternoon a Candle Light Service at the library led by Miss Price.

RIMER It would not be right to close this book without saying a word of appreciation in behalf of one of our very best friends, Mr. Rimer. A friend he is indeed, but to what extent we can hardly realize. Therefore, we respectfully dedicate this space to him and let it speak for itself. Page Eighty-seven Isn't it funny how anything so scarce came to be called common sense? Elsie Walton, in recitation—I find it hard to collect my thoughts. Sarcastic undertone in back of room—Yes, its always hard to collect small quantities. Dot Z.—Does Becky attend Sunday school because she is devoted to the lessons or the teacher? Ruth F.—Neither, it’s because of the hims. Helen B.—Is this dress easily spotted? Clerk—Yes. about a quarter of a mile away. -� r Prof—It is said that clergymen and soldiers appeal most strongly to girls. Raymond W.—By gum! I wish I were an army chaplain.

R.—Yes, a friend of ours said you resembled me. Melba—Would you put yourself out for me? Louis De—Indeed I would. Melba—Then please do it. I’m awfully sleepy. l ois—My alarm clock went off this morning at 8:30. Edythe—Hasn’t it come back yet? Syd to Mrs. Stearns—Did the Southern soldiers wear Union suits? “You never can tell,” said the bandit, as he shot the only witness to his crime. Page Eighty-eight ANOTHER GOOD OPPORTUNITY LOST! I he Junior girls are still bemoaning the loss of a perfectly good bachelor class advisor. Judge—Prisoner, the jury finds you guilty. Prisoner—That’s all right. Judge, I know you’re too intelligent to be influenced by what they say. Miss Catterson (in English Class)—John, tell the class what you know of Milton. Johnnie H.-—Milton was a great English poet, living from 1608 to 1874. In 1647 he married and wrote Paradise Lost.” A little later his wife died and he wrote “Paradise Regained. Some men have depth; the brain of others are merely excavations. ‘Tather, there’s a big black bug on the ceiling.” bather (busy with work)—“Well, step on it and leave me alone.” LeRoy, at the Peerless-—I’d like to see something cheap in a felt hat. Clerk—Try this on. The mirror is at your left. Sam-—What am you doin’ now? Bo—I’se an exporter. Sam—An exporter? Bo—Yep, the Pullman Company just fired me. oo Do not kick a squirrel when he runs up to you in the park. He made a mistake, he thought he saw a nut. I wo students had been whispering in class. The teacher noticed this and suddenly asked the first student to give the principal parts of “pungo. 1st Student—Hey, what did she say? 2nd Student—Darnifino. 1st Student—(Who had his lesson well prepared so he said)—Darnifino, darni-tinare, darnifinavi, darnifinatus. At ninety miles Drove Oscar Wilde, He hit a tree. And now he’s spiled. Page Eighty-nine Miss Catterson—I’ll give you just one day to hand in that paper. Bert C.—All right. How about the Fourth of July? Steve—Every time I have an argument with my girl I enter it in a small diary. Chair—Oh, I see, you keep a little scrapbook. And how is your little sister, Ronald?” asked the vicar. Oh, she’s fairly well, thanks. You see, she’s just hatching her teeth.” Wanted—A boy to sell oysters that can ride a bicycle. M iss Mitchell—Now tell us, what is the least used bone in the human body? Dot E.— (promptly)—I he head. Dutch—Didn’t you see me down town yesterday? I saw you twice. Gwen—I never notice people in that condition. I want a pair of socks.” said Canary to the clerk in the men’s furnishing department. What number,” he asked? “Two, of course! Do I look like a centipede?” Mr. VanDyke—You got zero on this paper. Do you know what that means? Paul Allen—I’m sorry but that means nothing to me. May (watching ball game)—Where do they keep the extra bases? Ray—What fer? May (innocently)—Well, that man just stole third base, didn’t he? Pete Smith, after hearing joke—I kicked the slats off the cradle the first time I ever heard that. -. � ■ If ever they reach planet Mars, By shooting through the air, I hope by all my lucky stars They don’t find flappers there. Page Ninety Stage stricken maiden, Marjorie Romig (after trying out her voice)—Do you think that I can do anything with my voice? Stage Manager—Well, in case of fire it might come in handy. Some people are so sensitive that if you call them “honey” they will break out with the hives” next morning. Dude—Do you use Williams shaving cream? Student—No, I don’t room with him any more. Miss Catterson wrote on the blackboard—“Please Wash”—and Mr. Rimer took his bath before Saturday. Bald headed man in Barber Shop—Give me a haircut. Barber—You mean a shine don’t you?

You can tell a Freshman as far away as you can see him, but you can’t tell a Sophomore anything. A Literary Triangle. Haggard’s, “She.” McAndrew’s “Hymn.” Wallace’s “Hur.” Page Ninety-one Huck Knapp (coming in late)—Mr. Hepp. I-I-I know I'm late, but I had to wash my neck and ears this morning. I’ll promise it won’t happen again. Prof. Hepp, in chemistry—If anything should go wrong with this experiment, we would be blown sky high. Come closer Dumbbells so that you may be better able to follow me. Hotel Clerk—Say did you find the “Not to be used except in case of fire” placard those High School boys took from the third floor. Bell Hop—Sure, they had it nailed in the wood shed. A western evangelist made a practice of painting religious signs on rocks and fences along the public highways. One ran. “Where will you go when you die?” Along came an advertising man and painted under it, “Use Delta Oil, good for burns. f irst—Did you ever read “Looking Backward?” Second—Yes, once in an exam, and I was suspended. Soph—What would you say if I told you that I have flunked in three subjects. Sub—Aw, get out. you’re fooling. Soph—That’s what the Prof. said. Gee! That's tough to have your sweetie hand back the diamond, lough! Wadd do you mean? I’m lucky to get it back. or Squire—Did you send for me, my Lord? Lancelot—Yes, make haste, bring me the can opener, me thinks I feel a flea. There’s a spot in Sunny Oregon Neath a blue and cloudless sky Not far from the waters deep Near the mountains high ’Tis in a broadened valley Where nature did her best.

How sweet and fresh they are! cried Marion opening the box, I believe there is still a little dew on them yet.” “Why-er-yes,” admitted the youth, “but it's just a little and I’ll pay it off tomorrow.” “He was driven to the grave,” read the headlines. Of course he was, do they expect a corpse to walk?” 1 here is only one excuse for a man not drowning his sorrows, and that is because she is bigger than he is. Run along, sun, said the cloud, “while I have my shower.” Maybe a girl’s mind isn’t made up very often but the rest of her sure is. Generally speaking, girls are generally speaking. I went into Cupid’s garden, I wandered o’er the land; The moon was shining brightly. And I held her little—shawl. Yes, I held her little shawl; How fast the time flies. We spoke in tones of love. As I gazed into her—lunch basket. Yes, I gazed into her lunch basket. And I wished I had a taste; There sat my little charmer. With my arm around her—umbrella. Embracing her umbrella.

I asked at once in joyous glee, “Where did they come from? I don’t see.” My Daddy then made this reply, “Why on the box before your eye, it says, from the Golden Rule, That’s where I like to buy my clothes for school. The genial clerks, always polite, are sure to smile and treat you right. The shoes they carry wear so long, are neat, fit well, are good and strong, and if you wish a pair that’s nice, and not so very high in price, to wear to church, at home, or school, first buy your shoes at the Golden Rule.
