UnJer the guidance of Mr. Buhlman the fair next year will probably be a bigger success .-s this was his first year and he had to inaugurate many new rules for the betterment ol the exhibitors. The Student Body tried to cooperate with Mr. Buhlman and due credit is given both for a successful year. — G. P. H. S. — STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, the administrator. board elected by tLe people, has done exceedingly good work this year in carrying on t' e Fair to the best advantage and helping to give each exhibitor a fair chance to show his best. With the aid of the people this board has p-ssed a number of amendments to beitei the school in future years. The officers who worked to put these through were: President Vice President Secretary I reasurer Ticket Manager Edwin Dole Beryle Conklin Mary Durham George Proctor Ernestine Sheldon — G. P. H.

P. H. S. — SENIOR HISTORY The class of 1928, when it entered tfe Fair four years ago to try to win all available premiums, was happy to find the administration building remodeled. The most responsible persons of the class were: Albert Ahlf, president: Beryle Conklin, vice-president; Dorothy Harper, secretary: Celia Fry. treasurer; Loren Stephens, representative to student council; William Benjamin, sergeant-at-arms, and Miss Riddle, advisor. The booth they used was trimmed in orange and black. As there were one hundred and forty-one members in the class, a large exhibit was displayed. I,. O. Hepp, chief judge of the year’s work, together with his assistants, praised the class highly for its showing in its first year’s display but could not award it a ribbon until it had exhibited more.. When the next year came, a new judge, H. H. Wardnp. replaced the old one. The class again chose Miss Riddle advisor and elected the following officers: Beryle Conklin, president; Malvin McCarthy, vice-president; Bernice Brace, secretary; Heloise Opdycke, treasurer; Lois Edgerton, student council representative. The class, having had some experience the year before, determined to show more merit this year. All through the year activities were kept up in preparation for the final test. At the end of the year the class had so far advanced that Mr. Wardrip awarded it the white ribbon. As Juniors the class chose Beryle Conklin, president; Malvin McCarthy, vice-president; Bernice Brace, secretary-treasurer; Marion Turner, representative to student council, and Miss McLaughlan, advisor. Having won the studeni body dues contest, the Juniors received a half-holiday which they spent at Cave Camp. The class observed Junior Flunk Day and staged the annual barbecue for the Seniors. Mr. Wardrip, in consultation with his assistants, awarded the class a red ribbon, a sign of still greater achievement. As Seniors, the class elected the following officers: Miss Cantine, advisor; Malvin McCarthy, president; Lee Sheldon, vice-president; Lilian Fosbery. secretary; Alma Langworthy, treasurer; Willis Ausland, representative to the student council. The class gave a Senior Reception to everyone connected with the Fair. The Christmas entertainment and Senior play, Seventeen,” added more interest and spirit to the year’s undertaking. They took first prize for the best stunt on rally night as they had done the year before. The class also carried away first prize on Stunt Nite. Activities were not neglected. All traditional customs of the Senior class were faithfully observed. As this year was the last opportunity the class had of exhibiting all its work together, it outdid itself in the great number and high quality of its displays. At the end of the year, the Fair at its highest peak of excitement. Mr. Buhlman, the new judge of the Fair, with his assistants, awarded the class the blue ribbon, the highest honor the class could attain. The class was hilarious with joy that it had at last won the coveted award. After the excitement had worn off the class sorrowfully realized that this particular group could never again put up an exhibit before the Fair but had to break up its class ties and strike out individually where each could be most useful.

One bright autumn afternoon a middle-aged man was seen walking up and down the main street of the large city of Grants Pass. Although the man appeared to be a stranger, he had the air of one expecting to meet someone whom he had known. Finally, with a look of disappointment on his face, he approached a very ancient person and asked the cause of the lifeless streets. Don’t you know?” the aged man replied. This is the first day of the County Fair and everyone is there. At this the stranger hurried off in the direction of the Fair Grounds. Upon his arrival he went immediately to the grandstand and looked thoughtfully around the fine track. A race was announced. He picked up a program of the day’s events and, after noticing who was to take part, stared at the track with eager eyes. When the last of —2 !— the horses arrived he started and cried: “Rewarded at last! There is one of my old classmates, Richard Claudson, riding the fastest of his enormous string of famous race horses, which are known the world over. After this outburst he looked around him with more interest than he had shown previously. “Well, well,” he exclaimed as he saw two ladies a few rows back of him. “I believe that there are two more of my old classmates.” A few minutes’ conversation soon revealed the fact that Alma Langworthy and Bessie Riddle were overseeing t':e sales of their famous confection, popcorn and chewing gum combined. After watching the races for a time, the stranger left the grandstand and walked around the grounds for a while, f'inally. he came to a tent where Julia Wright was telling fortunes. With her experience in Vienna, where she had been in training, she was pleasing her clientele with a fine fortune—for fifty cents. He continued to walk around and finally someone called him by name. After talking a few minutes to this fellow, the stranger said: “Tell me of the members of the class of 1928.” “I know of only a few,” said the man, “but I will tell you those. Percy T. Booth now has a number of honorary degrees conferred upon him by several institutions of higher learning in Norway and Sweden. This was done in recognition of his services as a manufacturer of a well known product. “Percy’s product is extremely popular with Charles Ernst, who uses it extensively in the manufacture of his well known candy. ’Copenhagen fudge.’ He offers this to any of his old classmates whom he meets. Beryle Conklin has finally bought out the company that publishes ‘The Literary Digest.’ She says that she is going to increase the circulation of this magazine bv adding spice to the stories. “Willis Ausland recently won the All-American Flag Pole Sitting Contest, having sat for three weeks, six days, 23 hours and 59 minutes on a pole 100 feet high. “Junior Peters has been sentenced to I 5 years at Sing Sing. He was caught in Ben Alberts’ chicken yard and the explanation that the chickens were his was not successful. “Esther Winters is conducting a very popular correspondence course in commercial art. She is doing this in connection with managing a 360-acre ranch, a husband and a family. “Professor Ronald Beers, working in collaboration with Lillian Williams at Kerby’s internationally known Chemical School, has invented a new type of glue. It is thought that this will revolutionize the fly paper industry. “Everyone is now having the pleasure of reading a real book, written and published by Richardt Hansen. The title of this priceless edition is “Nine Hundred Easy Ways to Reduce.” “The Lee girls, Mildred and Zelia, have taken up grand opera and are now at the top of their chosen profession. Emil Harbeck is at present engaged in revising high school literature books; so many people agree with Mr. Harbeck that former books of this type have been too easy for the students that his new book has an enormous sale. “Anita Winbourn has become a well known criminal detective in the Placer police force. Vernon Duncan has finally become a high-pressure salesman. He is now in Borneo selling silk hats to the natives. He is said to be very successful. Esther Hawkins is dancing in theaters all over the world, especially in Turkey, Timbuktu and Tennessee. She is specializing in the Highland Fling. —25— 1 “Lee Sheldon has attained what for him is the highest peak of fame. As an aside he invented a pair of winged shoes, enabling girls to walk home quickly from airplane rides. “Charles Howard is amusing large audiences in New York. He is singing the leading role in the musical comedy, ‘Ten Nights in Paris.’ “Leora Patton has made a large fortune growning bird seed. 1 his occupation requires only about two months in the summer, so Miss Patton has plenty of opportunity to devote herself to her favorite pastime—that of reading Chaucer and John Erskine. “Every evening we are pleased to listen to the melodious voice of Jack Blanchard telling his evening bedtime tale over Station BLAB. We always knew Jack’s ability to tell stories would lead him to heights of fame. The 'London Punch’ tells us that Harry Dorman is ‘knocking ’em dead,’ in leading London and Parisian theatres playing the leading masculine role in 'Why Gentlemen Prefer Brunettes.’ Very characteristic of Harry. “Harvey Woodward now holds the job of official bathing suit inspector at Palm Beach. He says he doesn’t need any help. “That is all I know about the class of '28. But if you will go down to that further booth where they are selling ice cream cones and ask for a copy of ‘Who's Who’ you will be able to find the rest,” said the man with whom the stranger had been conversing. The stranger went to the booth the man had mentioned and got the copy of 'Who’s Who.’ He turned the pages rapidly, searching for any of his old classmates' names. Finally he stopped and read: “Edwin Dole is the proud owner of a conversation silencer. The automatic device has the power of making all persons, other than its owner, unable to talk for any desired length of time. “Henry Hillis is in Poland lecturing on the benefits of a high school education. Many examples from his own experience here are used in his speeches. “Douglas Orme, after much painstaking work, has perfected a new gas which he claims will rid any school or study hall of all its occupants in a short time. It also proves a very valuable thing for fumigation. “The Grants Pass Daily Post, edited by Ira Woolfolk, circulation 250.000 gives a column to the splendid juggling act presented at the Broadway Theater by the Neilson Twins—Ronald and Duncan. “Marie Strack is a very popular entertainer at Jump-Off-Jce, where she is manager of a zoo. “Mary Durham has written a volume entitled, ‘Play the Violin in Ten Easy Lessons.’ The proceeds from this book have made her exceedingly wealthy. “Robert Lutz has become an efficient truck driver, practicing on five-ton Whites in the busy thoroughfares of Oregon’s metropolis. Robert has taken the final examination on the size and eloquence of his vocabulary and has passed with a high grade. “Dr. Malvin McCarthy, M. D.. D. S., Ph. D., has completed the final edition of a treatise in twelve volumes on the complete cure and control of cynache parotinitis, commonly known as mumps. Dr. McCarthy has had a vast amount of experience along this line. “Donald Griffith, formerly known as ‘Shiek,’ is now dog catcher for Maurice Jordan’s new cash and carry delicatessen and butcher shop. “Agnes Gardner is now making large sums of money teaching young Eskimos how to make hot dog sandwiches. Whenever asked where she learned to compound such delicacies she says, ‘Why, in G. P. H. S..’ Ruth Smith is still selling notions behind the counter of one of Woolworth’s largest variety stores. We find, however, that she is still an admirer of red hair. —26— “Connie Baker is working hard in her dressmaking establishment in New York. Kenneth Robinson gives her a great deal of assistance since he is Paris’s highest paid modiste. Mervin Bilderback has completed the installation of his 252 barber shops. He now operates shops from i la Juana to Vancouver. “Florence Adams and Jeanette McCaw have written several long volumes. ’Seven Ways to Get Acquainted.’ ’The Way of All Youth’ and many other interesting stories. Victorine Hiatt commends their perseverance in adding that extra thousand words that make all the difference in the world in literature when considered in the light of a missile. Victorine, we hear, has thrown one of their volumes at a number of too forward young men. “Iva Moore has become a humanitarian. She is varnishing the sandwiches in Pullman dining cars so that the attendants may be spared much strenuous labor in dusting them. “Marion Turner is also a reformer, but a little more radical. She claims that women should shave their heads. Up to the time of our going to press she has not found any followers. “Lilian Fosbery is serving in the capacity of private secretary to Senator Ross Johnson from Oregon. “Julia Gigler has at last reached the height of her ambition. She has studied chemistry from beginning to end until she can at last pass a test with a grade above fifty. “Althea Smith has become tremendously rich through the invention of a noiseless coffee cup. The sale of this is almost remarkable. “Evelyn Steele is now a stenographer for the Steel Trust which has its offices in the Steele Building in Toronto. “Bruce Smith is operating a sausage stuffing factory in Chicago. His jolly nature and hearty laugh help to increase his business. “Four years ago Pearl Coulson became Miss Horning’s successor in teaching Domestic Science at G. P. H. S. As Pearl has more or less an artistic temperament her talent has been in constant use in making new cake icing decorations. Helen Ringuette is now the only woman conductor who works for an airplane company. She is in danger of losing her position, however, for the company has tried for several years to teach her how to short change passengers, so far without success. “Dorothy Harper and Ruth Burkett are conducting a hotel for bootleggers only. Although the building is enormous they are having an addition built so that they can accommodate all who wish to stay at their hotel. “Buena Wetherbee is a teacher of English in the largest college in Africa. May Sears is an actress, loved by large audiences in New York. Berlin, Constantinople and Iceland. “Holt Wardrip, recently crowned king of the House of David, has appointed William Meeks as an agent to investigate Babe Ruth’s secrets of fly swatting. Hoy Opdycke has become a famous interpretative dancer and at the present time is filling an engagement at the Covent Garden, London. “Donald Harmon is writing songs that are appropriate to sing at football games. It is thought that he is slowly forcing Irving Berlin into obscurity. “Evan Anderson has become a minister. Foreign countries receive much of the benefit of his wonderful ability, as he is constantly traveling from one country to another. The stranger stopped reading, shut the book, sighed, vanished into the crowd, and was seen no more. Buena Wetherbee Robert Lutz Percy Booth —27— SENIOR CLASS WILL LET IT BE KNOWN TO ALL PERSONS BY THE FOLLOWING PRESENTS: That we, the Senior class of Grants Pass High School In the city of Grants Pass, County of Josephine, State of Oregon, United States of America, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, being in possession of our diplomas and in sane mind, and under no undue influence, do ordain and declare this Last Will and Testament, dividing our great amount of talents among the faculty and various members of the school, which we do deem will be of great benefit.

As the Juniors wanted everyone to contribute to the display at the end of the year they had hikes and meetings to decide on the most appealing exhibits. Following the custom, a Thanksgiving program was presented by members of the class. Junior Flunk Day was recognized and the annual barbecue was given the Seniors. The class has been very successful in being represented in the various exhibits of the Fair, winning minor rewards for student body dues and championship in basketball. After the years’ display had been carefully looked over by Mr. Buhlman and his able assistants it was decided that the class should be awarded the red ribbon, significant of the good work done. Having been so successful this year the class has the encouragement necessary to win the blue ribbon next year. —33— Bell Reasoner O'Neil Harvey Kenyon iunter Ryan Collins Hunter Ford Dillingham Applebee Hall Sheldon Thompson Hart Turner Gray Heller Bennett Hart Wickham Henrikson —34— Neale Mansfield Proctor Hackett Baldwin Pay Arney Moser Jewell Everton Fredericks Bunch Kinguette Reynolds —35— Koenig Baker Phelps Flory Freeman Pearson Foster Doyle Tillman SENIOR CLASS POEM We shone as the sun at earlv morn. Fresh and clear over all the land; We were like babes all forlorn. Among strange faces on ev’ry hand. Our sunbeam hearts, free as the stream 1 hat frolics and murmurs along; Sought in study our future dream. And found new vigor in life’s old song. Like the sun we pierced the cloud Of study, and life glided faster; Tho’ many temptations sought to enshroud. We made ourselves their master. Many friends came into our hearts, I he study pal and classroom friend; School became our home in part; But now we’ve reached the end. Now that we’ve reached, like the sun In mid-heaven, our coveted noon— We wish that we had only begun, 1 ime and friends have passed too soon. We’re setting now, over yonder hills. Just our one class of all this earth; We’ve passed the last of school day thrills. Of carefree youth and frolicsome mirth. We hope our setting may always seem As a golden cloud at sunset; May we live, a radiant gleam. That our school can ne-er forget. Our glory and splendor we leave here.

The orchestra broadcast from Medford on April 2. Besides all these it has furnished the music for the Operetta. Senior Class Play. Stunt Nite, Music Memory Contest and for the grade school program. It was through Mr. I repte’s fine knowledge of music that the orchestra was able to make such a fine showing this year. He spent all the time he could get to work up for the different events he played for. He always had a program whenever music was needed and always was willing to help make every performance of the year a bigger success. He spent much outside time helping different members of the orchestra for special occasions. Altogether he has been an asset to the school in every way. His different orchestras in other parts of the county have made equally great advancement and it is a sure thing that anyone taking instruction from him would certainly profit by it. —49— n GIRINS’ LEAGUE The Girls League was organized this year by the girls of the Grants Pass High School.

Due to the late receipt of the schedule from headquarters, the debaters again got a very late start. But with Miss Dunn’s excellent coaching the debaters did very well considering the fact that the negative team had had no previous experience in debating. I he question this yeai was: ‘‘Resolved: That the Federal Child Labor Amendment to the Constitution should be adopted.” The affirmative team was composed of Robert Lutz and Irene Havens. Floyd Smith and Leslie Whitehouse made up the negative team. The first debate with Medford was postponed a week. The negative team went to Medford and the affirmative team debated at home, ITie decision at Grants Pass was 2 to I in favor of the affirmative. At Medford, however, things were reversed. Our negative lost by a decision of 3 to 0. The next debate with Ashland was scheduled two weeks later. Between the two debates the two teams worked very hard. But with all the work the debaters did, they lost both debates. This time the affirmative traveled. The debate was lost by a 2 to 1 decision. The negative team debated at home and lost by a decision of 3 to 0. Looking at the season from the standpoint of the number of debates won, the season was not very successful. But the debaters gained a great deal of valuable experience. Next year they hope to have a winning team. —54— THANKSGIVING PROGRAM The Thanksgiving program this year was in the form of a movie acted out by the members of the Junior class under the supervision of Miss Walker, the Junior class advisor. The show started out with the Fox News, then the comedy called “ I om Turkey’ followed the play, John Alden and Priscilla.” which was very effective with Louis Neale as John Alden and Ida Gunter as Priscilla. — G.

The success of “Seventeen” was due to the careful coaching of Mrs. Marcy. who spared neither time nor effort in making the play a success. The aim of presenting “Seventeen” was to make money for the purpose of paying off some of the debts accumulated in former years by various classes, but the play cast agree that the experience gained by presenting such a play greatly outweighs the amount of money the play brought in. Lee Sheldon and Malvin McCarthy showed their ability as managers by successfully handling the money part of the entertainment.

Due to back bills to be paid, the school has not been able to put out a Scroll this year, and oniy by cutting down on expenses is it possible to edit the Toka. Many obstacles have arisen but each was fought and consequently it is hoped you will enjoy the oka this year. Through the combined efforts of the faculty, advisors and the staff the publishing of the annual has been made possible, and theie are great hopes for both a Scroll and Toka next year. Much of the success of this annual is due to the expert advisorship of Mrs. Marcy. She has been a great help throughout, both in connection to the business side of the book and also the editorial side. Sometimes the way has looked as hard to her as to the rest of the staff, but she was always ready to help them out of any difficulties. Also special recognition must be given to Pearl Coulson and Esther Winters who worked so hard on the art work and printing. It was through a fault of the Toka staff who did the mounting that their pictures were left out, but it is assured that it was not intentional and it is hoped that the success of the annual which comes from the splendid art work will suffice for the negligence of a few members of the staff. 59— TOKA TOKA STAFF Editor Manager Advisor Assistant Editor Associate Editor Assistant Manager Athletics Historian Society Organizations Snaps -Jokes Advertising Art Printing - Marion Turner - Constance Baker - Mrs. Marcy Beatrice Hively Robert Lutz George Proctor Heloise Opdycke, Malvin McCarthy - ...

Although this was Coach Pitt’s first year in Grants Pass he made a wonderful improvement. He had hard luck all the way. First, with the school being closed on account of infantile paralysis during the football season, and the mumps cutting down the players during basketball season. His teams didn’t win many games this year but just watch them shine in the future. If there is a man who can get the boys to work for him, it’s Coach Pitts, and all the boys take a delight in doing it. Miss Doerner M iss Doerner knew girls so well that she certainly succeeded in making a wonderful coach. This is her first year as athletic coach in G. P. H. S. Henry Hillis. Henry led the students of G. P. H. S. in the yells that kept their teams fighting every minute they were against competition. Louis Neale. While Henry was playing football Louie successfully led the rooters. He also helped to a great extent in basketball. Edwin Dole Eddie was one of the best athletic managers the school has had in years. G. P. H. S. needs more like him for future years. —63— TOKA FOOTBALL INDIVIDUALS Willis Ausland—Guard. This being Bill’s last year of football he made all of it he could. The opposing team never picked Bill’s side of the line for the attack. Percy Booth—Guard. Percy was one of the best all around football players Grants Pass has had in a long time. He is death on the opponents. This was Percy’s last year. Henry Hillis—Tackle. Henry was one of the Grants Pass mainstays. Henry was always relied upon to get his man. Henry will have another year with us. Don Harmon—Half. Don was the one man on the team who couldn’t be stopped in a short distance. T his was Don’s last year. Dale Griffin—Quarter. Dale excelled at calling signals which gained many yards for Grants Pass. Dale will be back next year. Harvey Jones—Center. Harvey played in center position to a great advantage. He was very strong on the defense. Harv has two more years. Harvey Woodward—Fullback. Harv played most of his game on the defense. Hatv was right in the middle of every play. This was Harvey's last year. Orion Garrett—End. Although this was Garrett’s first year he showed up well at the wing position. Garrett will have another year at Grants Pass. Frank Jones—Half. Frank was lacking in weight but he made it up in speed. He excelled on end runs and was a good defense man. Frank will play two more years. Charles Ernst—Tackle. Chuck didn't get to play all the time but was a bear on the defense while in the line. This was Chuck’s last year. Jack Blanchard—Tackle. Jack was out of play some of the time on account of injuries, but shone at opening a good hole for the backfield while playing. This was Jack’s last year. Bob Palmer—Tackle. Bob had quite a time filling in for Blanchard and Ernst. He was one of the best defensive men on the line. Bob has two more years. Bill Fitzpatrick—End. When Grants Pass needed a fast and dependable end they always called upon Fitz. Fitz has two more years. Loris Everton—Center. Although a sub at center he got to play a good deal of the time. Fat was a demon at the defense. He has two more years. Albert Jewell—End. A1 was one of the regular ends. He was the best man on passes the school has had in many a year. A1 will have one more year. —65— FOOTBALL Grants Pass went to Roseburg for the first football game of the season. Due to lack of practice by the Grants Pass eleven, they were beaten by a score of I 9 to 7. Klamath Falls next invaded Grants Pass. The Grants Pass team had improved greatly in the one week they had had to practice for the game with Klamath Falls. Although Grants Pass lost by a score of 1 6 to 7, it was a hard-fought game throughout. Harmon hit the line for long gains during the game. The next week the Grants Pass boys went to Klamath Falls to try to overcome the defeat they had suffered the week before. But after the long trip the boys were completely outclassed and beaten by a score of 37 to 0. — G. P. H. S. — BASKETBALL INDIVIDUALS Mai.VIN McCarthy—(Captain)—Forward. Mac, although the smallest man on the team, was feared by his opponents as one of the most dangerous of the Grants Pass squad. Mac was a good shot and covered the floor well. He will be a great loss, for this is his last year. Calvin Richardson—Forward. Richie strengthened the team to a great extent by his ability to make long shots and to keep the opponents from making them. Richie is a happy look-out for the team next year. Harvey Jones—Center. Jones had no trouble out-jumping nearly every center he met. He also was an excellent guard. Harvey has two more years to play. Orion Garret—Center and Guard. Orion was just a good all around basketball player. He played some at center and some at guard and showed up well in both places. Orion will be here to strengthen the Grants Pass squad next year. Don Harmon—Guard. Don fitted right in the team as standing guard. He was big and clever enougii that all the opposing teams were somewhat afraid of him. This is Don’s last year. John Chipley—Guard. John was fast and rather rough on the opponents. He had a habit of getting fairly rough at times and when he did it wasn't any too good for the fellow he was playing against. John will be a great help to the team next year. — 66— Jones Garrett Chipley Dole McCarthy Harmon Richardson BASKETBAL L. RESUME The basketball season started off with a bang. The first game of the season was played on our home floor, G. P. H. S. against Klamath Falls. The game started with Klamath Falls on the offense, which gave them a basket. Shortly after Grants Pass got one from under the basket. The score ran evenly for both sides until just before the half Grants Pass made a foul. The half ended 7 to 6 in favor of Grants Pass. I he last half was very slow, as the Grants Pass boys were out of condition. 1 he game ended in favor of Klamath Falls 1 6 to 8. The next game was taken by the powerful Medford five by a heavy score. 1 he Ashland quintet invaded Grants Pass the next week. Although Grants Pass was out-weighed many pounds to the man, they fought till the last but had to give way to the much larger team by a score of 33 to I 7. A week later Grants Pass journeyed to Crescent City to play two more games. Due to a hard trip and arriving in Crescent City just in time for the game, they lost the first one 13 to 22. After a good rest the next day, the home team went to the gym with a strong determination to win. Coach Pitts changed the line-up that night and kept his first string of forwards out of play the first quarter. When they went into the game they were determined to run up the score and did. Grants Pass won that game 17 to 13. 1 he next week the Grants Pass five took quite a set-back from the Central Point five by a score of 18 to 39. The Lithians again took the score from Grants Pass on the Ashland floor, this being a much better game than the first time they met. Hie score was I 7 to 34. Next the team went to Klamath Falls. Here, after one of the best games of the year. Grants Pass lost a hard-fought game 15 to 23. The next game of the season added a victory for Grants Pass, Roseburg being the losers by a score of 28 to 21. After this game Grants Pass lost three first string men on account of mumps. This caused the loss of the next two games. The first to Roseburg by a score of I 6 to 40 and the second to Crescent City, 16 to 19. — G. P. H. S. — TRACK Due to bad weather conditions this year, the track in the school was not too good. Coach Pitts managed to take a team to Eugene and Corvallis. The team at Eugene lacked a fifth of a second of placing. Next year Pitts will have some wonderful material, and we hope it will be good weather so he can make a real track team. Calvin Richardson. Maurice Jordan. Willis Ausland and Albert Jewell were the men who went to the track meets at Corvallis and Eugene. They ran in the relay-race and Calvin ran in the I 00 yard dash. GIRLS' ATHLETICS The girls of Grants Pass High worked under a bit of difficulty this vear because of the introducing of the point system into the girls’ athletics. This system, adopted by the Oregon schools, provides that there be no inter-scholastic games for girls, but that inter-class competitive games shall be played. The reward for athletic participation is determined by t'le number of points l' e girls gain in various games. Ten points were given for basketball, ten for baseball, ten for the learning of three folk dances, and ten for track participation. A total of twenty-five points for Seniors, fifty points for Juniors, seventy-five points for Sophomores and one hundred points for Freshmen were required in order for the individual girl to win a letter. In basketball the girls worked to their greatest capacity of energy and teamwork. Good sportsmanship and clean playing showed that our girls are typical of that spirit in athletics that is the most desirable. The result of the games gave the Juniors the basketball championship by a margin of two poir.ts over their rivals, the Seniors. The call again came for girl participants in the field of sport. Again the girls responded with equally as much vim and vigor. Under the careful coaching of Miss Doerner the girls tried their utmost to become good baseball players. They succeeded and had a series of games into which the girls put all their heart. Because of the lack of full Senior and Junior teams, the two upper classmen teams combined into one strong baseball team and successfully vanquished the rest of the school. Altogether baseball was a lot of fun and was enjoyed by all the girls. Miss Doerner again called forth the young amazons for another sport. This time the requirements were pretty stiff and but a few of our girls turned out for the desired points. TTie requirements for track are: seventy yard dash, time of eleven seconds; high jump, three and a half feet; broad jump, five and one half feet; throwing a basketball, forty-five feet; throwing a baseball, ninety feet; and successfully jumping four hurdles. A required number of practices are taken into consideration before the girl wins the ten points in this sport. The names of the girls who successfully won letters this year will be read and letters awarded Class Night. — G. P. H.

Farmer Brown's fattest pig, while waiting to be loaded into the truck which was to take him to this mysterious place—the Fair Grounds. “I don’t know,” answered the house cat. “but I think it is something like a party, ’cause every time the folks go to a party they give the kids all a bath and clean 'em all up. and that’s what they have been doing to you.” Silly, of course it isn’t a party,” spoke up Dan, the horse “It is a place where lots of people come and look you over and then to the best looking ones they give prizes.” “That lets me out.” sighed the pig, “for anyone can see that I possess no beauty. “You’ll not be judged on your beauty,” replied Dan, but on your size. I'll wager three ears of corn that-------” This conversation was suddenly interrupted by Farmer Brown and two other men, who had come to load the pig into the truck. Jack wished that old Dan was going with him, for he felt rather out of place in the truck—especially when it started to move. At last the Fair Grounds were reached. And what a dreadful noise there was— men running to and fro. shouting orders to one another, men with hammers and saws putting up extra booths, and men with brushes, combs and water pails ready to groom their animals. Jack was led through the crowd into a large building in which were many animals; each in separate stalls. “Well, I guess all I have to do from now on is to stay here, look as pleasant as possible, and when the judges come by stretch way out to make myself look real big, ' said Jack, as he was left to himself in his small stall. Two days had passed and within an hour the judges would be there to pick out the prize pig. “I wish those judges would hurry,” said Jack to himself. I can’t stand this way all day. Ah, here they come. Why are they looking at that little pig? Anybody can see that I am bigger and better than he is. Jack’s eyes followed the judges and at last they rested upon a pig. Why hadn’t he seen that pig before? Surely it was as large as Jack himself. Envy cast her shadow over Jack as he saw the judges place a bright red ribbon on the door of this stali. “What right have they given him a prize when they haven’t even looked at me?’ questioned Jack of himself. Poor Jack! If he had only known that red was for the second prize he wouldn t have felt so bad. At last the judges stopped in front of Jack’s stall. Jack’s face brightened as he heard, “This old fellow sure takes the prize.” “I never saw such a large pig in all my life,” said another. If only the barnyard folks could see me now, said Jack when he stood proudly in front of the photographer. —73— Bertie Dusert. THE COUNTY FAIR ‘‘When the frost is on the pumpkin,” And the autumn colors glow On the tree tops and the mountains. It is then that we all know. That the days that we have planned for, I hroughout the long and weary year Have rolled around to us once more. Our county fair is here. We know where the largest melons are. And where the tallest corn. And Dad has just the finest pears We’ve seen since we were born. And Jimmie’s calf and Davie’s pig And Tommy’s hens and rabbits Will take the shine off Grandpa’s cow With all her useful habits And Ma has baked and boiled and canned. And made preserves and jellies. And Aunt Sue’s angel cakes and pies Can hardly beat Aunt Nellie’s. And Grandma from the cedar chest Will take her crocheted spread. She says that some day I can have it I o keep, w hen she is dead. And in a quiet corner Is a little grey love nest. The club leaders have planned it; ’Tis cutest, cheapest and best. Where Jack and Jill and Sam and Lil, Can shout, “Ain’t we in luck; We can fix a little home like this For less than fifty buck.” The club girls must get busy new And finish up their work. Their cooking, canning, sewing. They must never, never shirk. For there’s scholarships and prizes For all those who excell. And a lot of satisfaction, too. In knowing they’ve done well. —74— So lei us hie to the old Fair Grounds, To that glittering fairy land. Of ferris wheels and shouts and squeals And merry-go-rounds so grand. And let us be good sports and friends Tho’ we never win a shilling. And plan to meet again next year. If fate is kind and willing. Nellie Neilson, ’30. p. h. s. — SUCCESS Success in one’s high school career means the reward of endeavor, something worth while accomplished, or that which was strived for gained. The Senior who has been diligent more readily realizes this, for he who has achieved success through diligent efforts is prepared at the end for his gain. High school days may be likened to a race, or in our own athletic terms, a track meet. The contestants, entering at the same time, start out together to run to the end. Many are delayed along the way; some are compelled to step out because of physical hindrances that may develop, while others, who fail to see the reward that comes to the faithful, are lured away by outside influences, which are apparently more attractive to them than the hum-drum of the high school curriculum. A few, who have given up for a time, take courage and return, determined to go on to the end despite difficulties and outside allurements. A hard battle ensues. However, he who comes through as conqueror is surely as worthy of the reward as he who finishes without side steps, failures, or discouragements. Those who have been the means of our continuance in the race, the goal of which is education, should be highly esteemed by us. Foremost among these, are our parents and teachers, who have at all times done their utmost to make our school life a success. It is said that Bacon studied the art of success. Many of his greatest essays are chiefly made up of observations of the careers of those who succeeded and those who failed. In this study of Bacon’s there is much that parallels the lives of men who succeed or fail today, and the same principle that gained success for the men of his time will be good for us to follow. We will know success if we are diligent in our efforts, are cooperative with those with whom we work, and if we continually keep in view the goal for which we are striving. Rufus Choate, when someone remarked that great achievements often resulted from chance, thundered out, “Nonsense! as well as talk of dropping the alphabet and picking up the Illiad. The advice of these men helps to give us the guiding line to our goal. Esther Hawkins. —75— THE COUNTY FAIR The county fair—just what is the real value of it? We always take it for granted that it is important, but never stop to think why. Every year we are deeply interested to see how it is progressing and how good it will be. It is the one thing that stimulates interest in everyone, farmer and business man alike. In fact, it is the one thing that binds the farmer to the business man of the city. In the first place the farmer and business man are willing to cooperate to raise money for needed buildings. After the building is done, the city man goes to see the accomplishments of the farmer, notes how fine the different products look and is encouraged towards the buying of local products. The departments of cookery, rewing and arts also have their benefits. Here, not only the farmer’s wife but the city woman may compete. The school departments also encourage the children in their work. 1 hen to help bind the people together more, are different forms of amusement— horse racing, the different concessions, ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds and in the evenings dancing. What could join a community more than a county fair? We of Josephine county have one big thing to be glad of. We have a new fair building large enough to accommodate the whole community and beautiful enough to encourage people to bring in their finest produce, no matter what it is, to show. So we should encourage fairs, and each time we put over a big one, try harder next time to put over a better one. That’s what we attempt in this year's Toka. So let’s hope to see you all at the county fair whether in our Toka, or at the Fair Grounds.
