They have shown great ability in the execution of their duties. In a school of four hundred students it is no small task to fill one of these more important offices; therefore one who has done so may feel that he has been of great service to his school. These four officers and the principal make up the executive committee of the High School. The Student Body Council is composed of these Student Body officers, the four class presidents, a representative from each class, the athletic manager, and the ticket manager. The Toka and Scroll Editors are members ex officio. Mr. Hepp is also a member ex officio and advisor of the Council. Phe school has made another step toward perfecting their executive system by the creation of two new offices this year. The first of these is that of Athletic Manager. Under the new arrangement all athletics are under one manager. They can be handled much more efficiently this way, and the result of the change has been very satisfactory. A large part of this satisfaction may be due to the individual who filled the position this year. Laverne Jess has many times been termed the busiest man in school, and not without cause. His untiring efforts not only as athletic manager but also as the Senior class president and vice-president of the student body have won respect and popularity for him among the students. The other new office was that of ticket manager. Virginia Rengstorff was selected for the position on account of the ability she has shown in that line in the past. Gin has always been a prize winner in ticket-selling contests. This year she had charge of all ticket sales for games. Putting this duty in the hands of one person makes it possible to keep a more accurate account. ITie student body council is an advisory body to the student body as a whole, and is indispensable in the administration of student affairs. —10— STUDENT BODY COUNCIL Helen Bunch - Student Body Treasurer Claude Loughridge - Soph.

We began our High School journey. With our banner, gold and blue. Some fleecy clouds, like lambs of the air. Hurrying quickly past Were trials, and sorrows of second year. But we learned they didn’t last. We dipped, and glided with ease and grace. And ever increased our speed. In all affairs of Grants Pass High Our class maintained the lead. As our plane moves on toward the distant line 1 hat marks the horizon. We wonder if this can be the end. Or if something’s on “beyond.” Some gloomy clouds are gathering. Each seems to shed a tear. For they see the dusk, and the sunset In this, our Senior year. But a light streams through the cloud bars. And over them peeps the sun. It is not the twilight, but dawning. Our lives have only begun. Our plane is home from its voyage. It has weathered the storms, and strife. Tomorrow begins a new journey, “Progress is the law of life.” D Marjorie Snider.

At their first meeting the following officers were elected: Milton Green, president; Albert Smith, vice-president; Ruth Newman, secretary; Kenneth 1 ompkins, treasurer; Harriett Clapp, representative to Student Body Council, and Miss Yannke, class advisor. Having been duly initiated they soon made a name for themselves. Blue and gold were chosen for class colors. 1 he following year they re-entered school as Sophomores, a little more intelligent looking than the year before, and ready to help the school all they could. The officers elected were Milton Green, president; Dorothy Zimmerman, vice-president; Albert Smith, secretary; Marie Harbeck. treasurer; Catherine Carrell, representative to Student Body Council, and Mr. Schenk, class advisor. As Sophomores they participated in all forms of athletics, having four boys on the first team in football, and two girls on the basketball team. In baseball both boys and girls played. I he Sophomore boys won the interclass baseball and basketball championship and the girls won the baseball. The class was awarded two small pennants in Scroll and Toka contests. These pennants were proudly attached to the large class pennant. I he social functions of the Sophomores, though not numerous were interesting in their nature. The most important event of the year was the party given the Freshmen, which for the sake of variety, took the form of a county fair. I he girls of the class enjoyed several hikes later in the season. Soon after the first snow a large 25” was seen upon old Mt Baldy. Several attempts were made by the other classes to destroy it but it remained until the snow melted. In 1923 the class took up the roll as Juniors and they proved themselves well worthy of the name. For their class officers the following were elected: Syd Young, president; Marie Harbeck, vice-president: Ruth Newman, secretary; Virginia Rengstortf, treasurer: and Norma Trumbly, representative to Student Body Council. Mr. Schenk was again selected as class advisor. I he class assumed all the responsibilities of Juniors and conducted both the Frosh initiation and other events for which only a Junior can qualify. I his year the class won the inter-class baseball championship and also the track meet. The Juniors also were awarded first place in the Stunt Nile contests. 1 he larger part of the football team was composed of Juniors, and the class had three representatives in girls basketball. It was with great pride that the old class of '25 entered school for their last year. They were not only proud to be Seniors but they were the first class to graduate from the wonderful new High School. Laverne Jess was elected president; Lew Wyrick, vice-president; Marie Harbeck, secretary; Frank Day, treasurer; and Catherine Carrell, representative to Student Body Council. In the Senior year they never slackened their pace. T he class of twenty-five won the Scroll and I oka pennants, and Stunt Nite, as well as both girls’ and boys’ inter-class basketball games. Dorothy Zimmerman, their representative, won the beauty contest. The talent of the class is not confined to these things for Martha Wright won the Lincoln Essay medal. Now, as their Senior year draws to a close they feel they have not only gained by their high school years but have given something, and taken part in the activities to such an extent that they will not soon be forgotten. By MILTON GREEN. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY May 20. 1935. This is a clear evening, the radio ought to be working fine. Maybe I'll hear from some of my old class-mates of G. P. H. S. It has been exactly ten years since we graduated! Who knows where they’ve all gone! Zip, whistle, scratch. Ah, I hear someone speaking. It is faint, and hard to understand. Now it is clearer. Station XYZ. J. W. announcing. (Why! that must be Jake Whorley!) Honorable Louise Fallin is collecting material for 'Who's Who in America,’ and will now broadcast these statistics as the educational feature of tonight’s program.” (Can you beat that) Dorothy Lundburg is conducting a campaign for money to buy toothpicks for the starving bob-cats of Paris. Another of my Classmates! Melvyn Cardwell is now the head of the International campaign for prohibition. Ah, a report from the musical world—Virginia Rengstorff is playing comb and paper solos in Gladys Woodruff’s famous Dumb Dora Orchestra. Lloyd Morrison—Now playing for the King of Siam. Now for those who’ve acquired fame—Dorothy Campbell, now playing “Cleo-patria at the Egyptian theater in Paris. Marie Harbeck!—editor of the Daily Journal at Hugo. Cora Randle—what next—has recently returned from Petrograd where she has been taking a course in “How to do the Laughing Blues. She is now starting a class and we all hope she will be successful as she has chosen this for her life work. Bill Breitmeyer is now owner of Galice’s new thirty-siory department store, and is fortunate in having in his employ the able Mr. Richard Lawton, who holds the position of chief clerk in the ladies hat department. Both are doing exceptionally well in their especial lines of work. More fame!—Doris Lowdon is becoming famous as a missionary to the Hindus. Well Doris was always inclined that way. It would have been a shame for her to have taken up anything else. And Martha Wright—has just reached the climax of her literary career with the writing of “ The Vamp and Her Science.” Keep up the good work Martha. Frank Day!—The great chemist!—Has worked out a new theory of proposing. Oh. I wonder when it will be released to the public 1 Funny, how they stick near home! LaVern Herron has been promoted to the position of grave digger in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. I always knew he would be great, if he kept on. Still talking about Flora Gillott. The newspapers pay her enough attention without bothering the radio fans—but she deserves it I guess. She’s Queen of the new Man-Hating colony of East Hollywood. Well, even if Flora is so famous there are others—Bertha Gigler for instance—manager of the Rogue River Steamship Board. Guess that ought to make a few of them sit up and take notice! Donald Neilson is coaching a cross-word puzzle team at Yale— but even that won’t compare with Bertha’s accomplishment. For goodness sakes! Wayne Jordan!—the largest cattle rancher in Oregon owns a five-acre ranch near Selma! And Ruby Varner-—assistant dishwasher for the Britten Lunch Room. Grants Pass is bound to be on the map—I always knew it! My word! News from Chicago. Wilma Sheeley is now the Secretary of the Secretary’s Secretary of the Madame Bum’s Hosette Co. Peggy Tuttle is dancing in the Chop Suey Cabaret. Her stilt performing feat is celebrated throughout the world. News from abroad! Norma Trumbly? Oh, My! Norma has made use of her great talent. She has worn out the American public and is lecturing in Europe on the subject, Man, the Brute.” Oh, yes. Pete is with her but he doesn’t appear because of the effect it would have on her audiences. Patricia Gale is also lecturing on “The Art of Reducing.” She is still touring America, however. —2D— DeNlonte Seybold is coaching ballet dancing in the Saxoff School of Dancing under the auspices of the Methodist church in Hong Kong for those afflicted with wooden legs. Well, I guess it’s all right! Francis Bahm—the strongest woman in the world, can lift 550 pounds with her little finger. It sounds tragic but maybe it’s so. Fred Daws has quit wearing a shirt! Hm—he got out of the habit while he was running a fresno and plow on the school-grounds. Isn’t that a shame! Helen Mattison is in the asylum. Poor girl she didn’t know whether to debit” or “credit.” More tragedy!—Oh, no it isn’t either! Kenny Anderson sliced part of his fingers off with a knife but he’s been making fairly good progress in typing ever since. Now, he can hit one key at a time! News from the stage—Syd Young is playing opposite Glorious Gloria” in “Trin-itratoluene” otherwise T. N. T.” Another message from Paris—Well, no wonder! Milt Green, the sheik, is now a floor walker in a women’s department store in Paris. 1 alk about luck!—Louis Ringuette has inherited a gold-fish farm from his great aunt. He’ll have fine success teaching them to dance. Hugh House and his troublesome Ford have parted long ago. He now takes trips via the mule. It’s probably safer! Oh, dear—it seems to be all bad news, now. Wade Harmon, the great cross-word puzzler, is in a sanitarium. It seems that he worked too hard hunting for a four-letter word beginning with g” and ending with 1” meaning female. Maybe this will be better! No, it isn’t —Edith Ayer has been shut up in an asbestos cell on the charge of arson. Ah, this is fine—Jean and Laverne Jess are as happy as ever in a ranger station on Mt. Everest. They have a high outlook on life. Oh, my conscience—I was always in hopes that no one I knew would ever be a solicitor—they are so boring—but here comes Raymond Walker with the agency for a two-piece, one-button, full dress suit, which he sells to the South Africans. There’s Merle Griffin, too, selling foot warmers to the Eskimos! There's certainly a lot of them taken to foreign countries. There’s Wendell Grout, posing as a model for grass skirts in the Hawaiian Islands. And Lawrence Schmidt instructing Hula Hula dancers at the South Pole. Some people have peculiar notions! Doesn’t seem as if any of them have become inventors—I did so hope there would be. Oh, listen to this. An invention at last—John Hendren has invented a fur-lined bath tub to be used on cold winter nights and has become enormously rich. What! A scientist—Inez Fulk, the great bugologist, has discovered a three-legged fly! And Ashby, do you suppose they could have agreed on a vocation—after so many minor disagreements during their high school days. Ashby attempted to cross honey-bees with lightning-bugs so they could work at night but the result was unsatisfactory because the poor bees worked themselves to death. Bertha hord, too, is at the height of her glory. She has invented a new and more efficient way to work academic arithmetic which is growing more popular every day. It’s always disheartening to hear of those who have missed their calling and have contented themselves with something else—lujuesc Howard’s ambition to be a dramatist has never been realized. She is engaged in teaching auto mechanics and agriculture in the I hree Pines High School, another thriving little city near home. Oh, yes, and Ruth Newman is Dean of Women at the U. of Merlin. It isn’t a very large university but it has the name—that’s enough. Ruth Flint is an English instructor in the Grants Pass Junior College and is also “house-mother” of the Alpha Sigma Sorority. They say she is very strict. —30— OK, what a lovely tenor voice—it is Paddy Rimer—but he stops. Oh, I do wish he would go on. Singing to an audience of deaf and dumb people!—he lost his voice! the atmosphere became so deafening!—That's absurd but maybe he’ll recover. Poor Paddy! And he used to play the “Irish Policeman” so well. A circus, I do believe—Oh! Just the program for tomorrow. Well, would you believe it Allegra Ausland with Barnum and Bailey, and a trapeze performer at that! I’m glad to hear that one of our members has attained literary fame. Rodney Rusk editor of the Police Gazette, Vienna. Dorothy Zimmerman is still holding the title of the most beautiful girl in Murphy. She has held this title for a number of years. More news from other lands! Aletha Porter is a modern love song composer in Africa. She is trying to cultivate the savages’ tastes for less monotonous music. Her friend, Lucile Meeks, has a florist shop not very far distance. Together they are acquiring a great deal of wealth. Ah, we hear from the movies. Eula Langley has become famous as editor and cartoonist for the Fox News! Olive Estes, too, is in Hollywood taking the lead in “Sweet Innocence” by Bishop Doran, who is carrying on a campaign for cleaner plays. Can it be possible! Our friend of one semester, Walter Pierce, has returned to Sacramento where he is now Chief of Police. I’m always glad to hear of the young people taking part in civic affairs. Lawrence Meeks, for example, is foreman of a section gang on the C. O. C. Railroad, and Elizabeth Wood is owner of a chicken ranch on Mt. Baldy and is supplying the Weaskuin with fried chicken. What another invention—Vernona Snively has discovered a cure for worry—she found that by simply getting in touch with an electric transformer everything one had to worry about would immediately vanish! Ah. I was sure some one would take to the ministry—and Huck Knapp at that! Well, did you ever, but he really used to look very dignified in his stalely Bishop’s clothes. And Aub Walker has become a follower of Bringham Young and is conducting a harem in Egypt. What can this be — Robert Starns, negro impersonator in Barbara Hofmeister’s “7 raveling Troup? I won’t listen to it. because I want to hear it when it comes to this coast. It will spoil all if I listen to it now. I’ll have to invite Ruth Harmon up to see it, too. She can drive up in the “bug and spend a week or two. I know she’ll enjoy it. I’ll have to tell her what I’ve heard tonight and about Bill Lovelace, too. He’s been exiled for writing a book on “How to Flirt Successfully. He used Lou Wyrick for an example and Lou had him prosecuted. They say Erwin Trumbly had something to do with the trial. You know he has become such a famous authority on mental gymnastics! He can read anyone’s mind. Can you imagine this—Loraine Bennett is now doing the Madame Butterfly dance on the Orpheum Circuit. She says she owes her success to the practice she used to get at the Girl Reserve meetings. And Bonnie Pollard, Loraine’s traveling companion—lecturing on the character of the modern flapper! What strange things will happen when you least expect them! Listen to this! Louise Everton has bobbed her hair! She and Jen-try Wyatt are conducting a little tots elocution school for children between the ages of six months and two years. Juanita York has gone to Brazil with her cat and parrot. Since her experiences in Grants Pass High School she has given up all hope of ever getting married. Her rival, Anna Henrikson is conducting an exclusive haber-dashery in Scappoose and is doing a fine business. Becky Dalrymple has at last been allowed to return home and though married now is graduating from Grants Pass High School just so she could say she did. —31— Of all the would-be romances of 1925 only one materialized—and that not for several years as Effie Patton joined the Fels-Naptha Circus that drives away the Washday Blues. She is now putting many of her stunts into practical use. Curt Cole is chemistry instructor at Grants Pass High School. Well, I must quit this pretty soon. It's getting late and as I want to go see Eleanor McReynolds in “Romance Gardens” tomorrow night I’ll have to get some sleep tonight— oh. dear, it's so interesting I can’t leave. What do I hear now—it is Catherine Carrell’s orchestra in Los Angeles, organized exclusively for broadcasting. Well, if Marjorie Snider hasn’t taken up prospecting! I knew she got the gold craze when she found a nugget up Louse Creek but I didn’t think it would affect her that badly. Blanche Daws always had romantic ambitions. She is now writing advice to the love lorn for the “Country Gentleman.” Marjorie Romig is now running a chicken farm in Arizona and is raising a special kind of grasshopper for her chicken feed. Stanley Lawton is doing wonderful work managing the Ziegfield Follies, he’s quite taken by one girl who”—Zip, whirr—squeak! 1 he line is dead, but I do believe I heard from every one. It brings back memories and surely makes one feel good to hear from the class of ’25. -j- -V-j- CLASS SONG Twenty-five’s the class alive. The best old class of all. Doesn't do much talking But it’s ready at the call. Colors Blue and Gold, A fame that never grows old, ITiat’s the good old class of Twenty-Five!

At the first class meeting Miss Hudson was chosen as their advisor; Nahum Baker, president: Vernon Coverstone, vice-president; Margaret Haminerbacher, secretary; Helen Bunch, treasurer, and Grace Patton, Student Body representative. 1 he first social event of the season was a class hike to Louse Creek on which the students became acquainted with their advisor. Next came a party held in the middle of November at the High School. A good program was given and refreshments were served. The Juniors took an active part in the third annual Stunt Nite, receiving second place. They were also well represented in all school activities including football, basketball, baseball and debate. Three of the school debators were chosen from the class of ’26. Having been duly initiated by the Seniors at the end of the year, they are now looking forward to their last year in Grants Pass High. -j- -j- -j-« JUNIOR CLASS POEM Here’s to the class with an aim!

Cecil Harmon Doris Patrick Helen Spalding Ida Wertz Claude Lougmridge - President - - - Vice-President - Treasurer - - - - Secretary Representative Student Body Council SOPHOMORES The class of ’27 entered G. P. H. S. in 1924 as Sophomores. For president they again chose Cecil Harmon, while the other offices were filled by Doris Patrick, vice-president; Helen Spalding, treasurer; Ida Wertz, secretary; and Claude Loughridge, Student Body Representative. They chose Miss Landon as their class advisor and friend in time of need. During the first part of the school year they were agreeably entertained at the Senior Reception. In the early part of the winter the Sophomores gave the Freshmen the customary party which they returned in February. Both parties were a decided success. The Class has been quite active this year with three of their number playing in the school band and four acting as basketball substitutes. They also put on the Washington’s Birthday program. However, the Sophomores look forward to the coming year when they shall enter G. P. H. S. as Juniors with new goals in view. They must put forth greater efforts than ever before in order that these aims may be reached. —45— SOPHOMORE GIRLS Izetta Barrel!

Between the dark and the daylight When the family all peacefully snore. Comes a pause in my long night's sleeping And I dream of the days of yore.

Which are moved all around by the women I o see how they finally look. Then on the (big) green table Are the write ups. typed and proof read, I here’s the histories, athletics, society. And the bright things the freshmen have said. Then grouped around by the table Are the editors and managing men. And as I watch them all working I wish I were back there again.

P. H. S. a class meeting was called in which the following officers were chosen: Albert Ahlf, President; Beryle Conklin, Vice-President; Dorothy Harper, Secretary; Celia Fry, Treasurer; Loren Stephens, Representative to Student Body Council; William Benjamin, Sergeant-at-arms. Miss Riddle was our choice for class advisor and has directed us successfully through this year. Orange and Black were chosen as our colors. After about a month of anxious waiting, we were initiated by the Juniors. Our class has had two delightful hikes this year, the first to 1 okay Heights, and the second to Louse Creek. First of all the parties came the Senior Reception. Then the Sophomores gave us a delightful party in November which we returned in February by a “hard times” party. We also had another party that was “just for ourselves.” In January our number of one hundred fourteen was increased to one hundred forty-one by the Sub-Frosh who received their initiation from the Juniors. Two members of our class have attained honor in their Freshman year. Beryle Conklin was chosen school yell leader, and Edwin Dole made the debate team. — 49— FRESHMAN BOYS Bennie Alberts Charles Ernst Ronald Nielson Albert Ahlf Louis Estes Duncan Nielson Evan Anderson Gerald Fitzpatrick Douglas Orme Willis Ausland Dale Griffin Paul Owsley Mervin Bilderback Donald Griffith Junior Peters Jack Blanchard John Gustin Roy Pruitt Owen Beagle Richardt Hansen Kenneth Robinson William Benjamin Emil Harbeck Clifford Sparlin Percy Booth Donald Harmon Loren Stephens Lowell Camp Henry Hillis Thomas Stott Ashley Chapman Ross Johnston Harvey Woodward Glen Cole Maurice Jordan Ira Wolfolk Don Conger Robert Lutz William Young Glen Conger Leonard McCann Louis Dungey Edwin Dole Malvin McCarthy Ray Field Vernon Duncan Dentley Middleton Vernon Field Stanley Wickham Carol Wissing SUB-FRESHMAN BOYS Elwin Abel Robert Johnson John Bailey William Meeks Virgil Bryan Bruce Smith M.

In due time of course, we received “third degree. It was truly quite awful we vow. And it only is due to the spirit of our class That we all have survived until now. We are told 'twas a symbol of how, throughout life. We would meet things unpleasant the while. If we couldn’t avoid them or conquer them, then We must simply endure them and smile. But when it was over light hearted were we For we felt that at last we “belonged.” We were now a real part of the old Grants Pass Hi— Twenty-Eight with its one hundred-ten strong.

Never has the Editor and Manager had more helpful cooperation from their assistants as well as the student body at large. The editor was chosen from the Senior class and the manager from the Juniors. They are very much indebted to the Artcraft Studio for the excellent grade of pictures they have made for the annual this year. 1 he printing was done by the Courier again this year, and the engraving by Hicks-Chatten Engraving Co. The Toka should reflect the interest of many lively and ambitious students who have given the best of their talent to it. —56— THE SCROLL Editor - - Ruth Newman Assistants ....

Fifteen issues were printed this year and the efforts of the staff to make each Scroll the “best ever” have been well repaid. The election of editor and manager was held in the spring of twenty-four so they could choose the staff and start work immediately after school commenced. This same plan is to be followed this year excepting that the editor and manager shall be chosen by the student council, and will be members of the council ex-officio. —56— PYTHAGOREAN SOCIETY Much credit is due the officers and members of the Pythagorean Society for obtaining the name of the “liveliest and peppiest” club in high school. 1 he Pythagorean Society is a mathematical club, and all who have had, or are taking third semester mathematics are eligible for membership. Early last spring the following officers were elected: Laverne Jess, president: Nahum Baker, vice-president; Terrence Galvin, secretary; Aubrey Walker, treasurer and Miss Hudson, faculty advisor. The old members began the new year with a snappy initiation of new members, the ceremony being held in the high school. Billy helped put the performance over big, for every new member became a staunch supporter of the club. A TRAGEDY I woke to look upon a face Silent, white and cold; O friend, the agony I felt Can never half be told. We’d lived together but a year— Too soon, it seemed, to see Those gentle hands outstretched and still. That toiled so hard for me. My waking thoughts had been of one Who now to sleep had dropped; ’Twas hard to realize, O friend; My Ingersol had stopped. —57— HI “G” CLUB Although this is only the second year that the Hi “G” Club has occupied a place among the organizations of the old school, it has had a good and lasting effect upon the athletic spirit of the students, which, it is hoped, will increase and grow better year by year. This club, as its name implies, is composed of students who have won the much coveted “G in any form of high school athletics or debate, and who care to mingle their efforts in one common endeavor to build up better athletics and athletic spirit in the school. Hikes and picnics form an enjoyable diversion from the more serious tasks of the organization, and the knowledge that it is a group of athletic and forensic veterans of the school should cause those who belong to it to be justly proud of their organization.

During the first semester four separate corps of the G. R.’s were formed, each representing the Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes respectively. These divisions offered better chances for the winning of rings and chevrons. Besides the four corps in the high school, a branch of the Girl Reserve was organized at Junior High, under supervision of the Seniors. Each corps held their own meetings once every two weeks at different member’s homes. A good time was one aim in the club and that wasn’t lacking. The candle lighting ceremony or initiation was performed early in the fall and many new members were added to the club. A Kid” party was given Christmas for all members of the G. R. and also the alumni. The Christmas tree and Santy Claus were the main features. I he presents were given to the poor children of the town after the “kiddies” had a good time with them in the evening. The Junior girls honored the sub-freshmen girls with a tea. Miss Jones acting as hostess. The Girl Reserve has made wonderful progress this year. -j- -j- GIRL RESERVES Ready to face life squarely” , Their slogan, aim so true— Ready to serve all fairly, Friedly. always true blue— They are Girl Reserves. —50— WWW' ■ I' ■ i Win i ill GRANTS PASS AGRICULTURE CLUB “Grants Pass Aggies” A new club was introduced into our high school this year by the agriculture teacher, Mr. Morgan. The members are known as the Grants Pass “Aggies” and are termed the busiest students in school. This club is the organization of all Agricultural classes in the high school. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Chief Toka, Wayne Jordan: Little Bunch, Fred Daws; Grand Pack, Harold Mansfield, and the Royal Shack, Howard Knapp. The club is composed of thirty-two members. Medford’s “Ag” class sent an invitation to the Grants Pass Aggies to attend one of their big meetings there. I he club went and later entertained Medford here. The club will go to O. A. C. in May. Under the supervision of the Agriculture club, considerable work has been done on the gymnasium and on the manual training room. Their biggest job, however, was on the high school grounds. The boys who have worked on the beautification of our campus deserve a great deal of praise. Their industry is an example of the spirit of loyalty which prevails in the school. -j- ¥-j- Early to bed Early to rise And your girls goes out With other guys. —60— CICERONIAN CLUB The Ciceronian Club was reorganized this year with Peter Proctor, president; Marjorie Snider, vice-president; Elizabeth hifield, treasurer; Maria Wilson, secretary, and Miss Moore as faculty advisor. T he purpose of the Ciceronian Club is to instill life in the dead Latin language, and the aim is a good time. Membership is open to all who have had third semester Latin and those who are taking it. Last year a silver loving cup was awarded to the first year Latin student who made the highest grade in a Latin examination, which was given by a teacher other than Miss Moore. The cup was won last year by Virginia Reed The same plan is being carried out this year, the cup to be awarded Senior Class Night. Although the club was reorganized rather late, it has proven successful. ¥-j- When light first creeps through grey And breaks through the robe of the dark There’s a flutter of wings to the skyward Then bursts forth the song of the lark! M. S. ’25 GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB About twenty girls signed up at the first of the year for chorus. The Glee Club was again added to the curriculum of the school and met every eighth period with Alice I hompson as pianist and Miss Melba Sanders as director. They worked on two-part songs and classical music most of the time. However, enough popular songs were mixed in to make the class interesting. I he girls gave two musical programs last Fall and one negro program in the Spring. They also sang at the Epworth League play “Mr. Bob.” Several of the leads and most of the chorus in the Spanish operetta “Pepita” were taken from the Glee Club. The Glee Club has an important part in keeping alive the interest of vocal music in the school. ¥-j- -j- -j- COMMENCEMENT DAY We should be happy Commencement day, Joy should fill each heart; But how can we be glad and gay When friends so true must part?

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB There is a certain number of boys in high school who will sing. They are not very numerous but their quality and experience makes up for the lack of numbers. 1 hese boys got together under the supervision of Miss Sanders, the musical director of the high school, and organized a Boys’ Glee Club. Alice Thompson was their accompanist. The fact that most of the boys had had previous experience in chorus work was an advantage to them, but their very enthusiasm was responsible for much of their success. The Glee Club sang at Friday afternoon programs and most of the men leads as well as the chorus for the operetta “Pepita” were taken from it. At different times quartets and sextets composed of members of the Glee Club sang for entertainments. A chorus of men’s voices is always appreciated and the boys and Miss Sanders should feel that their efforts were rewarded. -j- -j- Lawrence Schmidt—Say you talk like a fool. Albert Ahlf—Well, you couldn’t understand me if I didn’t. H -j- Erwin Trumbly—Pete kicked my dog last night, but I'll get even with him. Mrs. Trumbly—How? E.

They played for Friday afternoon programs. Women’s Club meetings. May Day festival. Operetta, and the Music Memory Contest. The instructor. Miss Sanders, has accomplished a wonderful task in organizing an orchestra as only two of the members had played previously in such an organization. The pieces are: Piano, Dora Conner; violins, Doris Dole, Richardt Hanson; clarinets, Vernon Coverstone and Charles Ernst; saxaphones, Lee Winetrout. Walter Varner; baritone, Harold Mansfield; drums, Terrence Galvin. -j- ¥-j- Our orchestra consists of a horn and a drum, A piano and a couple of sax Two violines, and two clarinets For good music our school never lacks. —64— THE DRAMATICS CLUB Early in the school year the Dramatics Club met and elected their officers. Freda Iuttle was chosen as president; Norma Trumbly. vice-president; Syd Young, secretary, and Helen Spalding, treasurer. These officers have proven very successful and the club appreciates their efforts. A standing entertainment committee was chosen for the year, Norma Trumbly acting as chairman. Evelyn Harbeck and Louese Howard were the other members. Miss Ina Moore was the advisor of the Dramatics Club and much of its success was due to the generosity with which she gave of her time and ability to it. Through the courtesy of Mr. Dunlop the Club arranged for a High School Nite about once a month at the theater. This consisted of a short program which was given in place of the second comedy. These programs not only provided an outlet for the artistic talent in the High School but also were financially remunerative to the Dramatics Club. One of the most interesting plays given this year was a three-act comedy, Come Out of the Kitchen. The production reflected credit on all who helped to present it. A creditable achievement of the club was the buying of the curtains for the Senior Class Play. Drapes were chosen because they are more artistic and more practical. The school is also indebted to it for a set of border lights for the stage. The members of the club feel that the year has been successful in every respect. NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH After going over a number of plays, the committee chose Nothing But the Truth. This play was very successfully given by the class of ’25 at the Rivoli February 25-26. Bob Bennett, alais Louis Ringuette, made a bet of $10,000 with his future father-in-law that he could tell the truth for 24 hours. The money that he made the bet on was given to him by his sweetheart, Gwen Ralston, alais Norma Trumbly, for him to double in the stock market. When Bob makes this bet with Mr. Ralston, Lawrence Schmidt, he does not let Gwen know it. The only people that know of it are Mr. Van Dusen, Wayne Jordan; Dick Donnelly, Milton Whorley, and Mr. Ralston. Of course these men do not want to lose the bet so they put the hardest questions up to Bob that they can think of. Bob has to tell Mrs. Ralston, Louese Howard, some things that nearly break up the family. There was some scandal about Mr. Ralston having entertained some young women by the names of Mabel Jackson. Olive Estes, and Sabel Jackson, Barbara Hof-meister, at his office. Bob also nearly loses his friend Ethel Clark, Marjorie Romig, because he tells her the truth about her voice. Martha, Peggy Tuttle, the maid, cannot understand why Bob acts so queer when he finds what complications have turned up that he never dreamed of before. Bishop Doren, Syd Young, comes to the Ralston home to see Mr. Ralston about some stock he has just bought, and is very hysterical when Bob tells him the stock is worthless. Many other trying places come up for Bob and he can hardly wait for his 24 hours to end. As soon as the time is up he untangles all the truths he has told and makes peace with all. The other men did not think he would sacrifice friends find all to win the $20,000. The parts were all well taken. Olive Estes was especially good as a flapper. Syd brought the house down with his clever acting as the innocent bishop. All the players were very good and won hearty applause. Some clever stunts were given during the intermissions. There was a skit consisting of a dance by Marie Harbeck and a trio by Bessie Wood, Dorothy Campbell and Anna Henrikson between the first and second acts. Between the second and third acts there was a vocal trio by Marjorie Snider, Bessie Woods and Dorothy Campbell. There were orchestra numbers before the play and between acts. The music was furnished by Neilson’s Orchestra. -j- -j- PEPITA Pepita” the Mexican Operetta, was successfully produced April 3rd, under the direction of Miss Melba Sanders. Constance Baker as “Pepita, a beautiful Mexican girl, was charming in appearance and voice. “Carlos” and “Romero” were parts excellently filled by Howard Rimer and Paul Kincaid. “Felipa” and her father Pedro,” the innkeeper, were played bv Marjorie Snider and Charles Russell, who interpreted the parts remarkably well. The American millionaire, his sister and valet were Louis Ringuette, Louese Howard and Syd Young, all of whom deserve much credit. A girls’ and boys’ chorus completed the cast and the typical Mexican costumes, worn by all, added much to the beauty of the scenes. —66— ANNUAL STUNT NIGHT I he third annual Stunt Night proved a great success. Each class was asked to put on a main stunt, and not less than two specials. The classes worked hard and were well rewarded for their efforts by the crowd that filled the auditorium. The proceeds from the tickets sold went to the 7 oka as on the previous Annual Stunt Nights. The order of the stunts were: hirst. Freshmen: second. Sophomores; third. Juniors, and last. Seniors. The pennant was won by the Seniors. They also won the pennant as Juniors. The Freshmen's stunt was the “Awakening of the Flowers,” the Sophomores’, “Memories of That Old Sweetheart of Mine.” the Juniors’ was a scene of a cave setting in which various nationalities were introduced, and the Seniors’ was a Chinese skit. Stunt Night was recognized as one of the best entertainments the school ever gave, and received much praise from the people who saw it. COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN I his play was given by the Dramatic Club at the High School on December 5th. Cast of characters in order of their appearance: Paul Dangerfield, alias Smithfield Charles Dangerfield, alias Brindlebury Elizabeth Dangerfield, alias Araminta Oliva Dangerfield, alias Jane Ellen Amandy, Oliva’s black mammy Randolph Weeks, agent of the Dangerfields Burton Crane, from the North Mrs. Falkener, Tucker’s sister Cora Falkener, her daughter Salon Tucker, Crane’s attorney Thomas Lefferts, statistical poet Louis Ringuette Gerald Everton Catherine Carrell Anna Henrikson Elsie Harmon Lee Houck William Madison Halcyon Tucker Maria Wilson Howard Knapp - Syd Young Because of financial conditions the Dangerfield children have decided to rent their home. The new tenant objects to colored people so. when the employment agency fails to appear the children decide to be the servants until others arrive. Their being unused to this work causes many complications to arise when Mr. Crane arrives with his guests. HIGH SCHOOL NIGHT A large and appreciative audience witnessed the first, “High School Night. at the Rivoli theater. In place of the second comedy the following program was given: An old fashioned song and dance by Constance Baker, Louise Everton, Dorothy Campbell and Elizabeth Wood; a reading by Norma Trumbly; “Humanaphone,” a number of high school girls; solo by Mary Day, and a dance by Marjory Romig and Syd Young. —67— ALL ON A SUMMER’S DAY This clever little play was staged by the members of the fifth period public speaking class, Friday afternoon, January 30. The cast of characters was as follows: Dorette Tom, her betrothed Miss Parker Gladys Mrs. Reed Dorothy Zimmerman - Nahum Baker Lucile Meeks Patricia Gale Ruth Newman Mrs. Lane Mr. Lane Bob Doyle The Detective Miss Trimble Geneva Olts Wade Harmon Terrence Galvin Syd Young Ada Shoemake The setting was that of a New York summer resort; the lime, the afternoon before a dance. Mr. and Mrs. Lane, who were trying to spend a quiet honeymoon, were accused of being a pair of notorious thieves, while the real thief, Mrs. Reed, managed to get away with all the valuables in the resort. .j. MIDNIGHT REVIEW Students of the Dramatic Club after working and practicing during the holidays put on a “Midnight Revue” at the Rivoli theater. New Years Eve.

The vaudeville features were directed by Miss Moore. THE LOVELIEST THING The setting of the Senior Christmas play was in an English home. The members of the family were not enjoying the Christmas spirit and the day seemed doomed to be a gloomy one until a stranger entered and brought with him the true spirit of Christmas. Before evening all were happy, and the day ended as all Christmas days should: he characters were: i athzr Son Mother La vrence Schmidt Louis Wyrick Marjorie Snider 1 he Man Daughter Mamselle The Child - Milton Green - Lucille Meeks Dorothy Zimmerman - Peggy Tuttle UPHOLDING THE FLAPPER So much has been said on all sides against the flapper that I feel it my duty to give to the world a presentation of the facts, which have come to my attention, regarding this modem maid. It seems that, in general, people feel sorry for the flapper-wife’s husband. They talk of her delicatessen meals, her lack of interest in husband’s socks, and many other things. However, I have positive proof that the flapper really is quite domestic. She knows how to darn—yes, and gosh-darn. She certainly knows how to use a needle—a phonograph needle, of course. Now that the bob has come into favor perhaps she has forgotten how to make biscuits and buns, but, at least, she knows well the meaning of such cooking terms as “half-baked” and “hard-boiled.” Some of these girls even know something of that old-fashioned dish of corn mush or corn mash, as it is more popularly known now. Then there is the matter of economy. The flapper certainly is an economical soul, else why would she roll her stockings down, if not to save the tops? The prevalent notion seems to be that the flapper has no regard for her parents or for their opinions. If this is the case how can her “Sweet mamma!” and “Sweet daddy!” be explained? As for children, the flapper must love ’em for she often says Oh, baby!” Every farmer boy should marry one of these younger generation females. Nothing would ever be wrong with his chickens, or, at least, his roosters, for the flapper has the reputation of making cocktails well. 1 hen, too, the words flapper” and chicken” have some significance. Most of these girls have some acquaintance with the familiar farm animal, the white mule. Many of them show an interest in dairying, for, quite frequently, their conversations begin, “My cow—Also, all of the flappers I know have two good-looking calves. I am sure that the flapper farmerette would keep the farm cat’s whiskers carefully trimmed. Then, too, the dog will have a warm place by the fire for the flapper couldn’t get along without her “hot dog.” The flapper’s powers of perception are truly ama .ing. 1 he rest of us rarely notice such animal idiosyncrasies as the elephant’s tonsils, the cat’s cuffs, the crab’s curls, the kitty-cat’s eyebrows, and others, that the flapper is quite familiar with. These witty maidens have the only real idea on how sorrow should be treated, too. Does a little misfortune make them doleful for months? Indeed not! Instead, they term it “good grief” and go flippantly on. One of the most dominant things about the flapper is her profound interest in healthful sports. The dumb-bell is an old favorite for exercises, but the dumb-dora is a flapper creation. You have missed a great show of gymnastic ability if you have never seen the remarkable performance of a dumb-bell and a dumb-dora on the dance floor. The kissing game is one of the flapper’s favorites, and a game at which she can’t be beat. After all this that I have shown you, her domesticity and home-making qualities, her filial devotion, her qualifications as a farmerette, her really prodigious insight, and her deep interest in sports, can’t you forget her atrocious use of rouge and the lipstick, and realize that the flapper really isn’t as bad as she is painted? -69- By Martha Wright THREE KINDS OF THEM Did you ever see an Editor? A great, big, jolly Editor? He sits in a big easy chair And jokes his time away. He’s a nice man, and always brings Candy, flowers and all sorts of things 1 o his stenographers. Oh yes, he works just now and then But he’s so full of laughs and grins And likes his work so well, you know That it’s all play for him. That’s the kind of Editors we like. There’s another species of the kind But now they are rather hard to find. Just so you would recognize them I’ll tell you how they look. He’s a little slender man, or a Long and narrow fellow He has glasses always perched above The bridge of his stately Roman nose. Sitting on a stool, high in the air He works from morn till night. His life’s a care. There’s still another kind. In Grants Pass High you’ll find; They are—no you couldn't tell it From this book nor write or spell it But they are girls, your classmates true. Working hard for all of you. They are jolly, lots of fun. But they know when work’s begun. Now of these three kinds of them Take your pick—or leave them all. DEBATE Debate was launched with high hopes this year in Grants Pass High. The question for the Southern Oregon district was, “Resolved, That the graduated income tax is a desirable feature of a state system of taxation.” Interclass debates were held on this question in which the Juniors were victorious. 1 he Senior team was composed of Wade Harmon and Barbara Hofmeister, and the Junior team of LaVern Batman and Helen Bunch. The Sophomores and Freshmen were represented by single speakers, Lucian Lucas and Edwin Dole. Interschool debate was taken up with more interest. The affirmative team was composed of LaVern Batman and Helen Bunch and the negative of Edwin Dole and Elizabeth Fifield. Both teams were under the able supervision of Miss Jones, but failed to take the Southern Oregon championship which went to Ashland. Grants Pass tied with Medford for second place. MEMOMANIA (Apologies to Bret Harte) Which we pause to confess (Tho’ it causeth us pain). That for whims that express Winsome ways that are vain. The dinky memo is peculiar. How we paste them in books To study ourselves; How we puzzle at looks Of photographic elves. Of airs and quaint glances that fool yer. We love Eleanor’s bow. Jolly Becky’s sweet smile, Eva’s hair: It’s a row Worth a million a mile. With Connie’s bright glances depicted. So we pause to express (Tho’ we finish at randum). Just a haphazard guess That we quite understand ’em. These dainty memos quite peculiar. —71— —Cleo Massy. EDITORIALS -j- -j- THE NEW GRANTS PASS HIGH SCHOOL An epoch-making year has just been completed in the life of Grants Pass High. We have made a noticeable step upward in the scale of progress. An atmosphere of newness and rejuvenation prevails. How could it be otherwise with such a beautiful new home to live in. A “school” is a very human thing. It has life, body and spirit. The “life” of our school has been re-awakened. Its body has had a wonderful growth. It is now a thing of four hundred parts,—all very much alive—and all exerting an influence on the spirit of the student body. There are probably several reasons for this change in the life of the school. People are always affected more or less by their surroundings and the natural response of the students to the new beauty of their school is a keener interest in its activities and a deeper respect for its traditions. Interest and respect make for progress. Let nothing affect the intellectual standard which our school has attained! The effect of the cooperation and interest which the townspeople have shown this year has not been entirely material either. Nothing could inspire more self confidence than to know that the business men of the town are behind you both financially and otherwise. Proof of this backing may be found in the new building which the taxpayers have provided for us and in the way in which the Chamber of Commerce has boosted our games. C. A. Winetrout generously donated to us the use of tractors and men to help beautify our grounds. The Standard and Union Oil Companies supplied us with gas and oil to run the tractors. The students of the high school thoroughly appreciate this help. By CATHERINE CARRELL. ¥-j- GREATNESS Few prefer to deny it—others are proud of it, that there is a prize we are aiming at, and the more we put ourselves into our work the more we appreciate it when we finally obtain it. Let us call this prize Greatness.” Although any number of definitions may be applied to the term “Greatness” we prefer to define it as the fullfilment of desires of every man for well-earned renown. Several roads lead to this goal, the best being the course of self assurance and self reliance. Conceit is a modification of self assurance but it is really a good thing sometimes. If you yourself have no self assurance, pride, or interest in yourself and your work which you are doing—who has? One who thinks himself incapable of “putting over” some duty and holds back because Jimmy or Mary thinks he is conceited and trying to “run” affairs—makes a poor showing in this world. Step up to your neighbor and let the whole world know there is something in your makeup, and as Kipling says, “You’ll be a man, my son.” By ADA SHOEMAKE. —72— SENIOR RECEPTION On the evening of October 25, 1924, the date set for the Annual Senior Reception, the high school was the scene of an assembly of happy students making welcome the freshmen and other new students of the high school for the year to follow. The most of the evening was spent in signing the “get acquainted cards”—the usual informal introduction which holds its place in the tradition of our high school. The cards, in the form of booklets, were decorated in Hallowe'en fashion to harmonize with the other decorations. After everyone’s card was full of names the gong was sounded and all went to the assembly for the program of the evening which consisted of a number of readings given by Louese Howard, Peggy Tuttle and Doris Lowdon, respectively; a song and dance by Dorothy Campbell, a piano solo by Syd Young, a witches dance by a number of Senior girls, and a vocal duet by Marjorie Snider and Ruth Newman. A clever skit. “ The Merry Match-Makers” ended the program and served as a very fitting climax to the jolly sentiment which prevailed throughout the evening. Refreshments of cider and doughnuts, characteristic of that season of the year, were served in the upper hall to over three hundred students, faculty members, and alumni. The halls were artistically decorated with autumn leaves and streamers of the Hallowe’en colors with here and there a touch of the blue and gold of the Senior class. -j- PYTHAGOREAN PARTY A reception was given by the old members of the Pythagorean club on the eighth of October at the High School. All of the prospective members were entertained at this social. Games were played for a short time before the business meeting which was held in the music room. A number of the members of the faculty were present, including Miss Riddle. Mr. Hepp, Mrs. Hupe and the club advisor. Miss Hudson. After the business meeting everyone went to the new gymnasium and enjoyed various games. Some new ones in which Mr. Hepp played a conspicuous part added zest to the fun of the evening. Bottles were spun for supper partners. The refreshments consisted of hot grapejuice, wal-dorf salad, sandwiches, wafers, and mints. The total number present was fifty-five, this being a high-water mark in the attendance for the club. The old members were very well repaid for their efforts. -j- -j- PYTHAGOREAN HIKE The Pythagoreans, always full of life, gave their social ball a big push for the year by hiking to the Ament Dam. Starting about 4:30 with a large crowd, they followed A street and the old dam road to the river and their destination. They explored the remnants of this mecca for hikers, and later, built a large bonfire a little distance above the ruins. After partaking of food and enjoying games and stunts, these followers of noble Pythagorus traversed the long but not weary miles homeward, following the railroad route. This excursion was reported not only to have been one of great pleasure, but also of education, as such things as astronomy, science and athletics were discussed. —75— FOOTBALL RALLY The annual Football Rally was held on the evening before the first game played on the home field. Preparations were made during the preceding week for the “bonfire;” and stunts were arranged by each of the classes. I he Freshmen worked hard on the bonfire, only to have it burned to the ground by someone who liked to see them at work. A second bonfire was built and thoroughly enjoyed before it went to ashes. The stunts put on by the different classes were especially clever as there had been no little amount of rivalry between the stunt committees and participants. It was a very peppy crowd, indeed, that turned out to cheer our dear old high and show Marshfield the G. P. H. S. spirit. After a series of class and school yells, led by Don McKinstry, the students and on-lookers were entertained by the stunts of the several classes. First, came the Freshmen, featuring a scene in which one of their classmen was carefully wheeled in a baby carriage. I he other classes put on their stunts in succession the Seniors being last. It was a Caveman and Pirate skit also symbolizing the interest taken in the G. P. H. S. football team by the booster organization. A pigskin was buried by the Marshfield Pirates only to be recovered by the Cavemen and kept securely. A serpentine was formed at the schoolhouse and proceeded down A street till it reached Sixth. At each intersection the band played and cheers were broadcast far and wide. The serpentiners gave final yells at the Oxford hotel where the Marshfield team was spending the night. I his completed the rally but the memory of it and the victory won on the field next day will long be treasured by every loyal student. -j- GIRL RESERVE INITIATION The Girl Reserve initiation ceremony was held at the Christian Church on November 19, 1924. Many new members entered into the Circle of Light. The officers with large candles lit the smaller candles of the new members. A program followed the ceremony. Beryl Conklin, and Ada Shoemake gave readings, and Maralee Fraser sang “The Bells of St. Mary's.” Games were played and refreshments of chocolate, sandwiches and cake were served. The Girl Reserve is the high school branch of the Y. W. C. A. -j- -j- •(- FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Freshmen entertained the Sophomores with a delightful Hard Time” party February 20. I he halls were artistically decorated with the Sophomore colors', old rose and gray. A basketball game was played between the Sophomore and Freshman boys and also between the Sophomore and Freshman girls. A prize was awarded to the couple who was best dressed for the occasion. After several games, all were called to the assembly for a short and snappy program, consisting of a reading by Marie Garrett, a piano solo by Althea Smith, a reading by Arlene Kellow, and a duet by Maralee Fraser and Marian Turner. A short skit was also given by several members of the Freshman class. Afterwards the girls and boys went down to the gymnasium where refreshments were served in paper sacks. | JUNIOR PARTY 1 he first class party to be held in the new High School was given by the Juniors. I he guests entertained themselves for some time playing games in the new gymnasium. Members of the class presented a very good program in the assembly. A short skit was put on by Cleo Massy and Guy Walcott. Mary Day gave a dance, and Thelma Bryan played a piano solo. A song by several Junior girls completed the program. —76— GIRL RESERVE KID PARTY What? the Kindergarten having a Christmas tree and Santa at the High School? No! Only the Girl Reserves, both High School and Junior High, had a “kid” party. Every Betty Jane and Mamie Lou entered the High School in half socks, either short dresses, overalls or knee pants, and sans the dignified air. After sliding down banisters and playing leapfrog, the youngsters rushed into the auditorium and managed to keep from pinching their neighbor, while four short skits were put on. Santa came next and although he had to be pulled feet first out of the chimney every one was pleased. 1 hey made more noise, however, when the dolls, tin horns and drums were handed out. Refreshments of popcorn balls, animal cookies, apples and punch were served. Before the kiddies left the presents were all put back in a big box and were later given to the Salvation Army. -j- SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN PARTY As is the custom, the incoming Freshmen were given a welcoming party during the early part of the school year by the Sophomores. The party was held at the High School. The halls were artistically decorated with the mystic black and orange of the Freshmen. During the early part of the evening games were played in the new gymnasium after which a short program was given in the assembly. This program consisted of a short skit by Lucian Lucas, Geraldine Johnson, and Claude Loughridge; a reading by Virginia Reid; and another clever skit entitled, “Why We Never Married,” by several members of the Sophomore class. After this program had been enjoyed and commended by all, the boys were led in blindfolded to seek their partners. Refreshments of sandwiches, cake and chocolate were served. Besides the members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes several members of the faculty were present. This party helped to initiate the new class into the spirit of friendship and good feeling on which Grants Pass High School prides itself. -j- JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY It seems as though another tradition had been written into the history of Grants Pass High. It reads thus: “The Junior-Senior party shall be in the form of a barbecue according to the precedent established by the Junior Class of ’25.” Last year the Juniors held a barbecue for the Seniors at Hell’s Gate. The class of ’26 took this year’s Seniors on May 2, to a beautiful place on the Upper Applegate where this interesting rite was observed. At the end of a very happy day barbecued pig. baked beans and everything that goes along with them was served. That evening two classes pursued their way homeward, agreeing that their is no party so full of thrills and keen enjoyment as the out-of-door one. -j- SENIOR GIRLS’ LUNCHEON The annual luncheon given by the College Club for the Senior girls was served on May 9. A very fine program added much to the interest of the affair. This is the third year that the Club has entertained in this manner and the girls are coming to look forward to it with more interest every year. The purpose of these luncheons is to bring about a better understanding between the college graduates and the prospective college students. Mrs. R. W. Stearns is president of the club this year and Mrs. Robert Borland, chairman of the committee for the luncheon. IN APPRECIATION Picture a spacious, white building situated on a little hill. Adorning its marble-like exterior are climbing vines, whose tiny leaves and tendrils quiver in the breeze. Green terraces extend for some distance on three sides of the building and beneath the lawns the athletic field stretches smooth and wide. Broad paths lead from the entrances to the white graveled road below. A few trees, well-apportioned oak and almond are scrattered here and there over the grounds and shrubbery glistens in between. This is the scene which our High School campus will present some day in the near future. The progressive citizens of the city have had the new building erected and, out of appreciation for their goodness the students of Grants Pass High, with the Agriculture Club as a nucleus and Mr. Morgan an efficient director, have begun the work which is to make the rest of the picture real. The boys have given of their time and energy and it may be said that none worked harder or gave more of his time than Fred Daws. Mr. Clarence Winetrout has given the use of two tractors and men to run them, which has indeed proved of great assistance to the boys. The Standard and Union Oil companies have contributed oil to aid the worthy cause, and through Mr. Eclus Pollock the students gained permission to use the county plows and fresnos. All of these services are indeed appreciated by the whole school. E. F. —78— Athletics I FOOTBALL REVIEW The football season of nineteen twenty-four has passed into the history of G. P. H. S. activities, but it will always be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in the annals of the old school. Nine letter men, and an abundance of new material answered Coach Brown’s call for football players, and within a short time, with much drilling and practice, a team was organized. The first game of the season was played with Klamath Falls, and resulted in a I 3-7 score in favor of the blue and white. Encouraged by its first victory, the team trounced Marshfield to the tune of 36-6 the following week, and in the next game, which was played with Ashland, the boys registered their third victory by defeating Ashland I 4-7. The success of the first part of the season was broken, however, when Medford trimmed the team with a 27-0 score, and retained her title to the Southern Oregon championship. Although this defeat was hard to take, it did not dishearten the team, and in the next two games it again proved victorious by defeating Klamath Falls 51-0, and Roseburg 13-0. But with these games our winning streak ceased, and the last two games proved absolutely reverse of the first two. Ashland took one of them by a score of 13-10, and Eugene carried off the honors in the other one by a score of 20-3.

With another year in which to play he would undoubtedly have made a match for any end. but we are sorry to say that he leaves us this year. HENDREN End Hendren has played four years of football for Grants Pass High School during w’hich time he has played in every irame, thus establishing a record of which anyone should be proud. It will be difficult to obtain another end with “Johnnie's” ability at catch-in ? passes and going: down under punts. SMITH Captain and Quarter “Pete could pass all over the field, and his place kicking toe was a great asset to the team. He has played his third and last year of football for G. P. H. S.. and he will leave vacant a position that will be hard to fill in next year’s team. GRIFFIN Tackle Did that big hoy know his “stuff” in the line? We’ll say he did. This is Griffin’s last year, we are sorry to say. for he was a very valuable man. A man to fill the position as good as he. will be hard to find next year. TRUMBLY Center Erwin was a star in the line or backfield, and the way he went down under punts was the talk of more than one fan who watched this boy perform. Trumbly will be badly missed by next year’s team, as he is another of the number who have donned the blue and white for the last time. HILLIS Tackle This little one hundred and eighty pound tackle specialized in breaking up opposing plays, and many a credited player has wondered what he hit when he ran up against “Tiny. We are glad that Hillis doesn’t graduate this year. BRYAN Tackle Another little boy who was continually doing something to foil his opponents' plans He used his one hundred and eighty pounds of weight to a great ad' vantage in breaking through the opposing line, and opening holes for the back-field players. “Fat” is another junior who will be a future mainstay in the line. GREEN Half This fleet-footed half outplayed many larger opponents, and was instrumental in winning more than one game by his quick thinking and sensational runs. He also has played his last game for the blue and white. —82— 8EYBOLD Guard This was Monte’s” first year of football. but this fact made little difference as he tackled and bucked the line like a veteran. If Monte” was not a senior he would help make next year’s line one to be feared by all rivals. KNAPP Substitute linesman Although Huck didn’t win his letter he was one of the most aggressive men on the squad and whenever he got into the game his opponents had a real bundle of football fight to engage their attention. This boy will certainly tear holes in the epemy lines next year. POWELL End When speed was needed “Gap” was called on. and he sure was hard to beat. With this year’s experience behind him he is going to help make next year’s team one that the old school will be justly proud of. WALKER Half Although this was Aub’s” first year on the regular team, he certainly made a name for himself. He played end, as well as half, and did splendid work in both positions Aub” is another senior whose loss will be felt by next year’s lineifp. COLE Guard He was a fighter, and a great asset to the team. When he went into a game he meant business and a game seldom ended without Curt” receiving a due portion of the praise accorded the team. The line will certainly miss him next year. WYRICK Half Lew” was raring to go” either on offense or defense, and was always in a position to make his opponent appreciate the privilege of playing against a real man. He is another one who will be missing when next year's team lines up for action. WHORLEY Guard Another senior who was up and going” from the start to the finish. He made a fine mate for Monte” and many a worthy back field combination has come to a final stop when it hit Jake’s” side of the line. EGGEKS Full Heck” won the admiration and applause of the spectators by his Splendid line plunging, and it was a good man who stopped this one hundred and seventy pounds of foot-ball fight when it once got started. Eggers will be numbered among those on next year's team. —83— GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Jean Herron Dorothy Zimmerman Virginia Rengstorff Marie Harbeck Evelyn Harbeck - Center Side Center Forward Forward Sub-Forward Catherine Wheat - - Guard Margaret Hammerbacher - Guard Elizabeth Wood - - Sub-Center Mr. Brown - Coach Laverne Jess - Athletic Manager With but two veterans as a nucleus around which to build the team, the prospects of a championship squad were rather dim. Notwithstanding this fact, however, the coach and the abundance of material which he had to work with settled down to business and soon a team was whipped into shape to take part in the season’s contests. The first game proved to be a walk away for the alumni and in fact the team was beaten in most of its important games. I aking into consideration the record made by the nineteen twenty-four team this season may be looked upon as one spent in preparation for better teams in the future, and one during which the old Grants Pass High School spirit was always uppermost in the minds of the players. Although they were beaten the girls never quit from the starting whistle to the final one and their fight and pep made them one of the basketball teams of which the students of G. P. H. S. may look upon with pride. -—84— BOYS’ BASKETBALL Pete Smith .... Forward Arthur Youngblood - Sub-Forward John Hendren ... Forward Leslie Kellow - - Sub-Forward Raymond Wade ... Guard Loren Tuttle - - Sub-Guard Erwin Trumbly - Center Mr. Brown ... - Coach Milton Green ... Guard Laverne Jess - Athletic Manager It was with high ambitions that a boys’ basketball team was organized this year. The first conference game proved to be a walkaway tor Ashland, who took it with a score of 49 to our 19. And in the next game, which was played with Medford, we fared even worse. In the face of these disheartening scores the spirit of the team was never broken, and when Roseburg was played the score was more evenly divided, although again the long end was against us. 1 he second game with Ashland proved to be almost an exact duplication of the first, and the last and best game of the season was also lost to Roseburg, although it was either team’s game until the last moments of play, when a rally by the Roseburg five upset the “dope” in their favor. Although from a standpoint of scores the season cannot be considered entirely successful, the spirit of the team and the untiring efforts of our worthy coach overshadow this fact and make the season one of which we can justly be proud if spirit and everlasting stick-to-itiveness are to be considered in the description of a successful season. —85— BASEBALL REVIEW I he nineteen twenty-four baseball season opened with a splendid turn-out of first class material for a winning team and with Six I -etter men as a nucleus around which to build the team. Coach Brown set to work with a will and soon had one of the best nines on the field that Grants Pass has been able to boast of for several years. 1 he first game of the season was played at Ashland where the “Granite City team was overwhelmingly defeated. The next day the locals took their second game when they defeated Klamath Falls by a very small margin. 1 his winning streak continued unbroken until the second game with Medford when the boys ran up against a little more than they were able to handle and suffered their second defeat of the season. Two more games were taken by Medford while the representatives of G. P. H. S. proved victorious in the remainder of the contests of the season. Notwithstanding the fact that Medford took the majority of the games scheduled with us, Ashland succeeded in defeating the red and black team, thus tying Medford and Grants Pass for the Southern Oregon Championship. The prospects for the coming season are very bright and with practically the same team in the field this season that made such a good record last year. Grants Pass should have little trouble in gathering in the Southern Oregon Championship honors. This year the players are as follows: Seybold, Green, Smith, Hendren, Wade, Russell, Powell, Bilderback. Kincaid, Harmon, Atterbury. and Benjamin. Mr. Brown is coach, with Laverne Jess as athletic manager. —86— Miit G.—Gee there’s an awful lot of girls stuck on me. Don. M.—Yeah. hey must be an awful lot. Don.
