Qolden Rule Chain Store Our Advertisers While the general student body is thankful in a vague way for the patronage of the merchants who advertise in the Tcka, they are not intimately concerned with the difficult problems of financing an annual, and therefore have no conception of the part the business men play in the production of the Toka. We, the Toka staff, who realize that our annual would be an impossibility without the assistance of the townspeople, try to express the gratitude and good will we feel, and urge that the students trade with our good friends who advertise on the following pages.

We are told we have no literature, no music, and no art. Perhaps we are material, but our airplanes, radios, and high-powered automobiles are lifting the burden of drudgery from our shoulders and giving us more time for the creation of the beautiful. Culture always comes in rich maturity, and when immature America awakens, the pulsing current of her art will stimulate the entire world, rivaling the genius of Greece. The Influence Of Beauty 1 he refining influence of the beautiful and well-kept upon character is undeniable. Because it does play such a large part in the makeup of the average individual, care should be taken to provide that environment which will build up and broaden, not dull and debase, a human being. Since a spreading lawn has a much more cheerful aspect than a drab, colorless stretch of earth, let the high school lawn always be kept green and fresh, a pleasure to the eye. Youth I often think on Hazlitt’s words “No young man believes he shall ever die.” A gloriously pathetic sentiment is expressed there, a magnificent disregard for death which changes to a fear, in middle life, of being swept away before longed-for events come to pass, and. in old age, swings back to a fearless contemplation of the time when influence in worldly affairs shall be removed forever. But in the beginning, with Youth’s splendid fighting spirit, nothing is impossible; the margin of the unattainable fades from the future; and youth strides triumphantly on. I think that urge must have been given us for the purpose of stimulating us to such achievement that, when dotage creeps upon us, we shall not find in our minds the terrible thought expressed by Bryant: “And what if thou withdraw in silence from the living, and no friend take note of thy departure?” [73] THE T O K A ihis great document hovers over our homes day and night, even though no notices bla .e bodly along the highways or at the portals? Again I say that we owe more to the silent guardianship of the Constitution than we realize. The same hand which fixes the standard of weights and measures, which provides for the punishment of counterfeiting in order to protect the people of the United States is the same paternal hand which establishes post-offices and post-roads; which promotes the progress of science and the useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries. Thus our nation not only affords protection to the individual but encourages him in all worthy forms of endeavor. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime exists within the United States or any place subject to its jurisdiction. I often think of the contrast between those slaves once brought into our land in bondage, and those immigrants who come seeking admittance from time to time, attracted by the shelter of the eagle’s wing—by the freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press, and the right to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. Can you not see what an allurement the Constitution offers those suppressed and hampered minds? What an opportunity it is for those sincere persons who are willing to enter our gates and swear allegiance to our Constitution, knowing that they shall enjoy the inalienable rights of American citizenship, and that once they become American citizens, they shall not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Let us demand of the American youth, who are destined to become the leaders of our great republic, that they maintain and uphold the principles of this Constitution for the protection and advancement of the individual. Being thus guided by the constitutency of the commonwealth, we may feel confident that our governmental machinery will continue to weave a fabric both firm and enduring, thus fulfilling the ardent wish of Lincoln, “That government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Mary E. McWilliams A Storm at Night I like a storm. Its northering sullen wind Creates an echoing murmur In my heart. I like to wake And hear the struggling furies Endeavoring to reach me In the dark. “Come ti'ilh me. I’ll swell the primal ecstasy Swift receding; I’ll teach you My wild song. “ You are a wraith. I, civilized, cannot lool( bacl( For looking would betray my creed. I cannot go. [7 1 Joe Klitz THE T O K A ;• 1 Literary The Constitution In The Daily Life Of The Individual Throughout the ages in every civilized country of the world, mankind has found it necessary to adopt some form of government for protection and advancement. Realizing this, our forefathers devised the Constitution, the foundation of our great republic. It operates so systematically that we are seldom aware of the presence of this government, whose basic principle is the recognition of the rights of the individual. The absence of concrete evidences of the Constitution is the strongest argument in favor of its presence in the daily life of the individual. I like to think of our government as a great machine, so well regulated that it does not proclaim its presence—the president of the United States, its chief operator; the legislative department, its master mechanic; the judicial department, its adjustor. I like to think of the Constitution as the great motive principle. It weaves a fabric for each American individual. And there in the warp and woof are embodied the establishment of justice, the insuring of domestic peace, the provision for common defense, the promotion of general welfare, and the securing of the blessings of liberty to the present and future generations. The excellence of the fabric hides the infinite detail of its texture. It is the product of many minds, co-ordinated and concentrated on the making of a most exquisite material. 1 he pattern is not confined to the representation of one small area, but of many localities; all under one union, one principle of government, and one organic law. Our Constitution, then, is that flame which has welded these varied communities into one nation, and is therefore the embodiment of all those principles dear to the American individual. Since our country is so varied in its interests and occupations, is it not fitting that we should regard the Constitution as the trade-mark on the selvedge edge of the fabric? What document should be more cherished than is our Constitution, which places the power of government in the hands of each individual and serves as a foundation for all that is peaceful, lawful, and sacred in our American life. T he whole system of law-making, execution, and interpretation is provided for in the Constitution as a matter of popular election and appointment, based on confidence. Laws are made, executed, and interpreted from time to time by those to whom the authority has been given, while the individual himself, scarcely heeding the revolving wheels of government, remains, not unconcerned, but merely trustful, as he goes about the pursuit of happiness in the choice of his own vocation. It is not a matter of shirking duty, but rather a matter of his reposing confidence in those men, his fellow citizens, wham he and others have elected to positions of legal authority. The Constitution makes possible the raising and the most advantageous expenditure of revenues. 7 hus inter-state and international commerce is made possible. Can it not, then, be seen what bearing this one phase has on the individual in his daily life? Is not the greater percentage of our foodstuffs, our household furnishings, and our rare articles of value from distant lands, due to the privileges permitted by the Constitution? In fact, these articles seen on every hand should be silent reminders that not only are we individuals safeguarded at home, but that the long arm of the government reaches across the seas to every consular port to safe-guard our common-wealth. The Constitution provides that no soldier may be quartered in any house in time of peace without the consent of the owner; nor must the right of the people to be secure in their houses, their persons, their papers, and their effects against unreasonable seizures and searches be violated or infringed. Due to this safeguard, no person with mind bent on the fulfillment of an evil or malicious purpose, may enter those sacred precincts of the heart, our homes, to pillage either our property or our reputations, save under the necessity of a strict accountability under the law. Does this not indeed show that the shadow of [7lJ Features THE T O K A Table Rock Hike Gathering at Wissing’s on the morning of May 16, the Seniors drove to I able Rock, where they parked their cars, then climbed to the top. After a rapid descent and a lunch at the foot of the hill, the Class went to Jackson Hot Springs for a swim, some going on to Medford to see a show. When they had assembled at the High School again, all spoke of a hilarious time. Junior-Senior Barbecue April 26. the Juniors gave the Seniors their annual Barbecue. Scout Camp being chosen as the destination. After a satisfying lunch and a pleasing program, part of the crowd ended the day by going up to Jackson Hot Springs for a swim. Later, tiring of that sport, nearly everyone went to a show in Medford. All agreed’ that it had been been one of the best barbecues ever given. Senior Luncheon April 1 5 the Senior Boys were given a luncheon by the girls of the class. 7 his being Senior Dress-up Day, a great deal of merriment was caused by their picturesque raiment. The menu consisted of salads, sandwiches, pickles, cake, and lemonade. Christmas Program Following tradition, the Seniors gave the Christmas program. December 20, in the assembly. A play, “Grandma’s Christmas Gift,” was presented. Floyd Smith acting the part of a burglar who told his story to Daphne Matthews, the grandmother, and finally caught the Christmas spirit, promising to start anew. Thanksgiving Program November 27, 1929, the Sophomores entertained the rest of the school with a T hanksgiving skit called “Bobby Brewster’s Rooster.” Fred Thornburg played the part of Bobby Brewster, while Daphne Kiphart was the poor old lady who loved roosters— broiled. Washington Day Procram Because the Juniors did not have time to devote to it. the Washington Day program was given by the other classes and outside talent. After Jack McDaniels and Fred Dayton had given a modern version of the George Washington story concerning the cherry tree, Eva Kesterson and Rosalind Weston ended the delightful program with a tap dance. M THE T O K A Society Senior Reception Honoring the incoming Freshmen and the new teachers, the Senior Class held its annual reception at the High School on October 26. I he lower hall of the building was attractively decorated with the Senior colors, green and white, and with large baskets of lovely autumn leaves placed around the corridors. 1 he auditorium stage was decorated with orange and black streamers, arranged to resemble a curtain, behind which was an orchestra that furnished a large part of the entertainment for the evening. After indulging in the customary proceeding of signing autograph books, futuristic in design, those present formed in line for the grand march through the halls and up to the assembly room where the program was given. The program, differing somewhat from those given in preceding years, consisted almost entirely of music. At the close of the program refreshments were served from booths decorated with the school colors. Junior Flunk Day hriday, March 21. the Juniors enjoyed their annual Flunk Day at Caves Camp. An exciting baseball game was played to start with. Lunch, which consisted of hamburgers, pickles, potato salad, and cookies was the main feature of the day. While some of the group left early, others stayed and enjoyed a program around the camp fire. Sophomore-Freshman Party With a party given in their honor, the Freshman were welcomed into high school life by the Sophomores on Saturday, January 19. The early part of the evening was spent playing basketball in the gym. the Soph, girls winning from the h reshman girls and the Frosh. boys beating the Soph. boys. Later a program was given in the Assembly. Delicious refreshments were served. The party broke up with the students feeling far more at home and better aeqainted with one another. P. T. A. Banquet On May 2 I the High School P. T. A. gave the Seniors their annual banquet at the High School. The beautifully-appointed tables were set in the upper halls. Candles were used for lighting, and the Class colors, green and white, were very artistically used in the decorating. With the president of the P.-T. A. acting as toastmistress at the well-attended banquet, many pertinent toasts were given and several songs sung. Girls’ League Party A “Kid Party”, to which all the girls came dressed as babies and small children, was given April 4th by the Girls’ League. After the program in the assembly it was announced that Mary Patton had won the prize for being the most baby-like girl. Music for a dance in the upper hall was then furnished by a five-piece orchestra. The enjoyable party came to an end when cake and punch had been served. [67] THE T O K A THE T O K A ac Toka In the experience it gives the staff and in the service it renders the school by per-jretuating school life an annual is the most important single activity in a high school. I he 1 oka staff believes that annual is truly successful which mirrors most accurately and vividly the various aspects of school life, and has endeavored to fashion this annual in such a manner. hour class editors, having charge of 1 oka subscriptions and class writeups, were added to the Toka staff this year. While they played minor roles, each had a definite duty to perform, and, in the main, these duties were efficiently executed. Toka Staff Editor ... - Joe Klitz Assistant Editor Mary E.

Later, the Senior debating team, Lloyd Silva and Valeria Shewey, won over Leslie Shaw and Eleanor Smith, who represented the Juniors. When the two winning teams met to decide the inter-class championship, the Sophomores were victorious, thus gaining the privilege of having their numerals inscribed on the Cramer cup. After the inter-class r’ebates, work was immediately begun on the school debates, the question being “Resolved : That the extra-territoriality policy in China should be abandoned. Leslie Shaw and Lenora Brown made up the affirmative team, with Miss Gorman coaching, while Lloyd Silva and Leouor Sharpe formed the negative team, with Mr. Carpenter as coach. Owing to the participants’ general lack of experience, the first debates were not very successful. The affirmative team traveled to Ashland, while the negative met Medford here. Although Medford defeated us in the next debate, held on February 12, our affirmative, debating Ashland here, won a 3—0 victory. The Grants Pass debating teams are expected to give a good account of themselves next year, since only one vacancy, caused by the graduation of Lloyd Silva, will remain to be filled. [62] THE T O K A Aggies I lie Aggies met at t'-.e first of the year and elected the following officers: President. Billy Helms: vice-president. Gordon Corporon; secretary. Lyle Whitsett; treasurer, Gerald Reynolds; reporter. Olaf Anderson; adviser, Mr. W. S. Carpenter. d he agriculture class room was painted and repaired, and many charts and exhibits were placed on display, making it one of the most interesting rooms in the entire building. The shop was re-equipped with many new tools. The classes have had more shop work than in former years and have done much work around the school. These jobs include: Building bleachers, increasing the seating capacity of the gym. making basket- ball backstops, building tables, making trellises, and doing other major and minor jobs. The local hoys joined the I uture Farmers of America, a national organization for boys taking Smith-Hughes agriculture. The Grants Pass chapter has thirty members. Livestock judging teams went to the Coos and Curry County Fairs and to the Pacific International Livestock Exposition, where they rated very high. The Southern Oregon District shop and livestock contests were held here March 28th and 29th. seven schools competing. Our boys made a good showing by taking two firsts, one second, one third, and one fifth. I he outstanding social event of the year was the Father and Son Banquet. ITe fathers, who were guests of the sons, were down around the shop and classroom, where the work was fully explained to them. I he dinner was served by the second year cooking class. Speeches were made by several F. F. A. members and by Mr. Andrews, Mr. Cramer. Mr. Buhlman, and Mr. Carpenter. At the Josephine County Fair next fall several fine prizes will be offered to boys taking agriculture in Grants Pass High School. Next year there are going to be three classes: Farm Animals, Farm Crops, and barm Problems. This is a very good course of study to prepare the boys for modern farming with its many new problems. [61] High G” The High “G” is primarily a letterman's club, and it is the ambition of every Freshman boy who is interested in athletics to make a name for himself so as to become a member of this organization. The scope of the organization's activities this year has been widened somewhat, for instance, the Kangaroo court was established. It took the reins of discipline and guidance of the student body in its hands until the Student Court was established. Other activities for the year have been the taking of tickets at games and other services of a public nature. The aim of the organization is to better the school in every way possible by service and example. The Club is striving to form a solid foundation on which the future members may build a society to be of lasting credit to the school. All those who were eligible to become members of this organization met at the beginning of the year and elected the following officers: President, Casey Bryan; vice-president, Ernie Bearss; secretary and treasurer, Earl Jobe; athletic manager, John Chipley. [60] THE T O K A 1 The Girls’ League Upon entering the high school, every girl automatically becomes a member of the Girls’ League. 1 his is an organization which has been a part of the school for three years and has accomplished a great deal. Its aims are to establish co-operation among the girls with disregard for class distinction. to promote loyalty and render service to the school, to develop affection and acquaintance among the girls, and to help them to develop individual character. Its purpose is to build up a better high school by producing better girls. Showing the girls their mistakes and pointing out how to correct them are the methods used in bringing about these results. The girls are also trained in the principles of social etiquette. The Girls’ League is a self-financing organization and its main business this year has been the furnishing and decorating of the League room. Hie girls showed unusual taste in their color-scheme and in the general planning of the room of which they are justly proud. It is to be a place of relaxation for the girls, and a meeting place for the committees of the League. Many hot-dog sales were held during the year and the money from these, combined with past funds, was used in the furnishing of the room. A special note of appreciation should be given here to Mrs. Marcy. Dean of girls, for her untiring efforts and her success in making the dream-room a reality, and for her assistance to the girls. The officers for the year are: President, Nellie Neilson; vice-president. Elizabeth Bash; secretary, Gladys Hively; treasurer, Cleo Swearingen; social service. Florence Johnson; entertainment, Nona Carper; activity, Mary Louise Neilson. by] THE T O K A Girls’ Glee Club Try-outs for membership in the Girls’ Glee Club were held at the beginning of the year. Under the able direction of Miss Macy, the club has carried on its work very successfully. Leads for the operetta as well as the chorus were selected from this organization. Those who had solo parts in the operetta “Purple rowers were Ulva Coover, Leouor Sharp. Mary Elizabeth McWilliams, Olave Hagen, and Ina Jones. Work for the year outside the operetta has been on two-part music. During the year the members have made several public appearances at different clubs and P.-T. A. meetings. The officers elected for the year are as follows: President, Mary Jeannette Duer; vice-president, Jeane Springer: secretary and treasurer, Betty Springer: accompanist. Barbara Schmidt. Boys’ Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club was organized at the beginning of the year under the direction of Miss Macy. The members have done much work during the year. They have sung at the monthly meetings of the Parent-1 eacher association and for the State Congress of the Parent-Teacher association. The members gave a short entertainment entitled. “The Miller’s Lovely Daughter as a pay assembly, in order to raise money for the purchasing of the operetta books. Leads for the operetta, “Purple Towers”, which was given on February 7, were selected from this organization. Those having solo parts were: Fred Wallace, Fred Thornburg, John Ruttencutter, and Gaylord Tice. The officers elected for the year are as follows: President, Gaylord Tice: vice-president, Fred Thornburg; secretary and treasurer, Fred Wallace. [581 THE T O K A Orchestra Since orchestra work is an immensely vital adjunct of a liberal education. Grants Pass has the right to be justly proud of its High School orchestra, under the able direction of Martin Trepte. Judging by the comment, few high school orchestras along the Pacific Coast can compare with ours. Another proof of its worth is its steadily increasing popularity, the orchestra being in demand at all plays and activities given at the High School. On November 15. a delightful concert was given at the High School, and on March 12. the orchestra responded to an invitation to play at Ashland. These public appearances were followed by a patriotic Cantata entitled Abrahan Lincoln”, given April 18, in conjunction with the Glee Clubs, and a second trip to Ashland on May 9. Our school is extremely fortunate in securing the services of a man like Martin Trepte. a true music lover, and a man who is skilled in developing musical talent. Never too busy to work up a program where music was needed, Mr. Trepte has placed the entire High School under obligation to him. [57] Operetta Purple Towers ’, t'- e operetta given this year, proved to be highly entertaining, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the crowds that assembled both nights of the performance. It was produced by the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee clubs under the able direction of Miss Macy. Much talent was shown in many of the scenes, and a great amount of time was spent in preparing it. The plot of “Purple Towers involves the leasing of an estate of that name by both a novelist and an actress. The owner, just returned from abroad, is mistaken for the cook and assumes that role. The many misunderstandings finally unravel, and all ends happily. The money secured from the operetta was employed in the purchasing of a large spotlight for use in stage performances.

Everyone present agreed that the stunts were among the very best ever given in the High School. The Sophomore stunt, entitled, “In the Sultan's Harem , won first place. The idea was carried out very cleverly. Fred Thornburg, as the beggar, introduced the theme by singing “In My Harem ’. 1 hen Leouor Sharpe, in the sultan's role, with stately mien approached the dais, surrounded by slaves and harem girls. Moneta Meikle carried out her part as the dancer. The hangings, costumes, and drop curtains all lent an Oriental atmosphere to the scene. Second honors went to the Seniors with Love’s Old Sweet Song as the stunt. 1 he plot was a lover’s search for his sweetheart. The background was arranged with two huge sheets of music connected by the outline of a large heart. Behind this heart the sweethearts passed in review and as they appeared songs were sung representing each one. The lover, Frank Nugent, finally chose Laval McQuity, representing “Sweet Mary , as the girl of his dreams. “As Seen in the Crystal”, the Junior stunt, placed third with the story of a French dancer in search of her soldier sweetheart, whose fate was revealed to her by a magician. While the dancer gazed into the crystal, the war scene was acted out behind a gauze curtain. 1 he stunt showed much originality of plot and production, and parts of it were very impressive. I he Freshman stunt, a very humorous and original one, was named “The High School Baby Show”. Each baby represented some student in the High School. The judges represented some of the High School teachers. After reporting the qualifications of the various ones, a quart measuring cup was awarded to an aenemic-looking child. The stunts were all very clever and w'ell presented and the program was a decided success for both the classes and the 1 oka. [55] THE T O K A p Junior Play The Junior ClrfS proved that it was not lacking in dramatic ability when it presented The Touchdown , by Marion Short, given in the High School Auditorium, December 6, before a large and appreciative audience. The proceeds were used to pay off the remainder of the Scroll debt. In mentioning the excellence of the production, we must state that a great deal of the credit for the success of the play is due to Mrs. Marcy. who gave so much of her time and best efforts to the coaching of the characters. The setting of the play was laid in an Eastern college, known as Siddell. 1 yP1' cal college life was portrayed and the play was a combination of seriousness and comedy- I he following composed the cast: Grant Hayden ...

Mason’s comedy farce, “Green Stockings”, was presented by the Seniors at the Rivoli theater on the nights of April second and third. The task of the dramatic coach, Mrs. Marcy, was made unusually difficult, since some of the characters were doubled, but she developed an excellent cast. Attended both nights by large, appreciative audiences and considered a great success by everyone, the play centered around Celia Faraday, the oldest of four sisters from an English family of quality. Disliking to face the ordeal of wearing green stockings at the marriage of another of her sisters, as is customary in certain E.iglish circles when a younger sister marries first, Celia trumped up an imaginary lover. Oddly enough, the faked sweetheart turned up a flesh-and-blood reality, and, in the many complications that ensued, a genuine affection sprang up between them, hinting of a happy future.

It was organized and improved this year in an effort to create an organization which would be of lasting value to the school. The foremost aim of this organization is to promote in every way possible a high regard for leadership in general. Its motto is; “Service Lies in Cooperation.” To become a member of this exclusive organization, which is a great honor, a boy must have a high scholastic or athletic standing and he may become a member only by invitation. This organization seeks to create better standards of scholarship and leadership among the boys of the school. The main work of the member is to volunteer their services in various activities, such as taking tickets at school entertainments and in doing other similar duties of a public nature. In cheerfully performing these services, the boys have proved their earnestness by making this first year of their organization’s existence a record one. The members showed their good judgment by electing the following boys as the officers most capable of managing the affairs of the organization; President, Casey Bryan; vice-president, Victor Vehring; treasurer, Joe Khtz; secretary. I om Palmer. (vl THE T O K A Torch Honor Society For (he purpose of stimulating good scholarship and good citizenship in the high school, the Torch Honor Society has continued its work throughout this year. To be eligible for membership in this society. Seniors must have eighty points. Juniors fifty points, and Sophomores twenty-four points. In determining these points, A’s count four points, B's three points, C’s two points, D’s one point, E’s nothing, P’s minus one point, and X’s minus two points. A student’s participation in athletics and other activities is also taken into consideration. On Class Night all Seniors who have earned one-hundred-ten points during their four years in high school are presented with pins in recognition of their scholarship, citizenship, and their share in student activities. One of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a student is membership in this society. If a member leaves for some other school he may take his card with him and be a member of the society in that school. The officers elected for this year are as follows: Geneva Rush, president: Louis Hagberg, vice-president; and Florence Johnson, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Williams as faculty advisor has concentrated her efforts on the betterment of this organization, which has been so successful in maintaining high standards of leadership in the high school. Activities THE T O K A The Age of Noise Wheels, wheels, grinding wheels! 1 he modern giants of tough spun steel. The clanging and the clashing Of the spinning, whirling wheels. The big belts lashing The harsh gears gnashing— The noises of this modern age Cannot be written on common page. Speed, speed, maddening speed! The fiery puffing iron steeds On rails of steel go thundering. A world of head-long violence— Bewildered man is wondering When we’ll have a world of silence. Interlude To the deep woods’ soothing darkness and the brooks of crystal clearness He could go—a balm for jangled nerves. In the forests stilly shadows He could roam among the flowers And forget the roaring giants that he serves. Tom Meade U«1 THE T O K A Girls’ Athletic Council The girls in the above picture are the members of the Girls’ Athletic Council, lire purpose of this organization is to provide the rules and regulations for the girl athletes and to offer a systematic program to be followed, so that much more may be accomplished in school athletics. The Council, consisting of the officers and managers, has helped a great deal this year in keeping the association alive. These diligent girls who compose the Council are: President. Caroline Harbeck: vice-president, Viola Coover; secretary. Velma Allen: treasurer, Olivia McBrien. The managers of the various sports are: Pauline Harader, soccer; Ulva Coover, basketball; Vera Gray, baseball; Norma Chinnock, field and track; and Barbara Schmidt, tennis. Girls’ Athletic Association Introduced into our school last year, the point system has proved very successful. It provides that any girl earning a certain number of points may receive a school letter. Due to this change of system, many more girls have participated in athletics than formerly under the old routine. The girls earning school letters this year were: Roberta Gaston and Eleanor Buck. Last year, those earning letters were Caroline Harbeck, Florence Johnson, and Jean Fallin. While soccer didn’t seem to create much enthusiasm among the girls this year, basket ball occupied a great portion of their time, the Juniors winnings the Inter-class basketball championship. Due to the lateness of the season when some of the events took place the following records were omitted from last year’s Toka: In the tennis ladder tournament Caroline Harbeck climbed to the top of the ladder. Maxine Bennett was presented with the honor award for having taken the most active part in athletics during the previous four years. Pauline Harader set a new record for hop. step, and jump with a mark of 27 feet, 4 inches. Cleo Swearingen won the basket ball throw with a mark of 69 feet 1 inch, and hurled a baseball 147 feet, 6 inches. There seems every indication that even higher records will be made this year. 14 1 THE T O K A ■f Basketball Review for the Season of 1929-30 When our bovs began this year’s schedule they looked like the “class of southern Oregon, but, while Grants Pass was a dangerous contender for conference honors throughout the entire season, the loss of two first string men through mid-year ineligibility and another because of injuries irreparably damaged the team. In spite of these unlucky “breaks , however, our men always put up a strong fight and kept visiting teams worried as to the final outcome. Also, enough material will be back next year to make the blue and white a foe to be reckoned with. Crescent City —There In the initial game of the season. Grants Pass came through from behind to defeat Crescent City 27—17. Medford—There With a bewildering attack and impenetrable defense, the Cavemen swept over a badly beaten Tiger team 32—12. Roseburg—There It was a iaded group of boys who went to Roseburg the night after the Medford game and suffered a 16 —12 defeat. Ashland—Here While the blue and white was ahead I I—3 at the end of the first half. Ashland won a crucial game of the series, 22—1 7, by staging a brilliant last minute rally. Medford—Here Medford was again beaten in a fiercely fought game that kept the large crowd alternately in a state of despair or exultation throughout. Klamath Palls—There The ineligibility of two key first string men weakened the lineup considerably. Grants Pass being no match for a peppy Klamath Falls team that won 40—14. Ashland—T here In winning 30—26 Ashland proved too much for the blue and white quintet, although they showed flashes of their old time game. Roseburg—T here Grants Pass, fighting stubbornly and playing better ball in the second half, bowed before Roseburg 27—14. Crescent City—Here Crescent City won, 20-—19, a game that was exceedingly close throughout. Klamath Falls—Here Strongly supported by a host of feminine friends they brought with them, Klamath Falls won the final game of the season 52—28. [46] THE T O K A The Basketball Men Deeds—Guard Deeds was a real star, flashy and consistent. He served as a leader much of the time, inspiring confidence in his team-mates. Deeds graduated this year, after playing basketball four years. Harvey Jones—Guard After making three basketball letters in Grants Pass High, Harvey will leave a vacancy hard to fill. Much practice gave him an eye for long shots. BEARSS—Center Ernie’s footwork improved until he was one of the fastest men on the team. When he returns next year, a junior, he will be a valuable cog in the building of a basketball machine. Holloway—Forward Holloway, like Deeds, was ineligible in mid-year, but while he was playing he bolstered up the team considerably. McGuire—Forward McGuire went out for basketball so late in the season that we didn’t get to see much of him, but while he was out he looked like real material. Johnston—Guard Buck is developing into a fine player, and is expected to hold down a first-string position next year. Bennett—Forward Jack, although small, had the knack of quick thinking in the crises and was exceptionally shifty. Jack is a junior. Harmon—Forward Barney seemed to have a natural talent for playing basketball. His at times almost uncanny ability to shoot baskets will be an asset to next year’s team. Wiley—Guard Wiley is another Junior who looked good enough to occupy a position on the first team next year. Bob Palmer—Guard Bob Palmer seldom lost his temper and always played a clean, heady game. [45] THE T O K A •;--------------- Ausland—Tackle A good tackier and a fine all-around defensive man; we expect great things of “Ossie next year. Man FULL—Guard Jerry, a senior, was a husky, dependable man and always ’got his man. WlLF.Y—Halfback Wiley was a shifty fellow, hard to tackle, and full of fight. He will be in the lineup next season. Football Review of 1929 When viewed in retrospect the football season of 1929 seems to have been a success, even though some of the scores were contrary to what we might have wished. At times the boys showed flashes of really superior football, and it is hoped that those men who will come back next year gained enough training and experience to raise the quality of football that will be played by them in the future. Crescent City —There In the first game of the season Grants Pass defeated Crescent City 6—0, although, like most first games of the season, the playing was ragged. The only score came in the second quarter, when Wiley and Frank Jones carried the ball down the field and Gillette pushed through for a touchdown. Klamath Falls—There When Barney Harmon intercepted a lateral pass and ran sixty yards for a touchdown we made our lone touchdown in the game, which ended 27—7 in Klamath Falls’ favor. Crescent City—Here Swept off their feet in the first three quarters, our boys made a thrilling comeback in the 4th quarter that brought the spectators to their feet; but the rally came too late. Crescent City winning 25—12. M edford—Here In a bitterly contested game from start to finish. Grants Pass held Medford to a 7—0 score. Medford’s touchdown came in the fourth quarter, and if ever a touchdown was earned, Medford earned that one. A word concerning the condition of our boys would be timely here: while the Medford men were wilting under the strain and shock. Grants Pass players stood up surprisingly well, with few men hurt. Ashland—There Although the Grants Pass boys were indulging in a let-down after the Medford game, in winning 39—0 Ashland deserves credit for putting a good team on the field. Klamath Falls—Here Klamath Falls won. 19—12; but the most spectacular play of the year was made in the latter part of the game—the ball was snapped from center to Casey Bryan, from Bryan to Harvey Jones, from Harvey Jones to Frank Jones, and from Frank Jones to Gillette, who ran down the sidelines for our second touchdown. Ashland—Here With the aid of two lucky breaks, Ashland made three touchdowns, only one of which was earned, and won the game, 21 —0. Roseburg—There Under the withering smashes of Si Holloway’s line plunging, which brought in three touchdowns, Roseburg went down to defeat, 33—7. Alumni—Thanksgiving Day According to the “dope” Grants Pass was scheduled for a tough game, but she beat the Alumni 27—0 on a crisp Thanksgiving day. [44] THE T O K A Jobe—Center Jobe was all man when it came to nerve. He was a sure passer and good on the defense. Jobe will be in the line up next season. Holloway—Fullback 1 his is Si’s first and last year. He could always be relied on for yardage at critical moments, running wild m the Roseburg game. Deeds—Tackle Deeds, who graduated this year, was a consistent, heady player. When Deeds tackled a man he stopped him. Bryan—Quarterback Casey always played the game as hard as he knew how. His experience made him a valuable man and his graduation will leave a vacancy that will be hard to fill. Fitzpatrick—End Bill was especially good at smearing end runs. He has another year for the blue and white. Bob Palmer—Guard Bob, a Senior, was a rattling good defense man. He was a fighter all the way through. BEARSS—Tackle Ernie, who has two more years to play was kept on the bench much of the time because of injuries, but when he was playing few' plays went over him. Frank Jones—Halfback When Frank got started he was a hard man to stop, for he was extremely fast. Frank will not be in the line-up next year. Ko L kow—Gua rd Kolkow’s 220 pounds at guard built up the average weight of the line considerably. He has three more years to play. Harmon—End Little yardage was made around Barney, a junior, who was also good at intercepting passes. Hepp—End Hepp. a speedy man and a hard tackier, has one more year. He should make one of the best ends in the conference next year. Newman—Halfback A senior this year, Newman was a shifty player and a fine open field runner. B E N N ETT—Qua r terback While Jack was the smallest man on the team, he made up for it in fighting spirit and heady direction of the team. Gillette—Fullback Gillette, with this year’s experience, should show up well next season, for he was good at line bucks. Harvey Jones—Tackle Harv’s size made him an effective man at tackle and also a good ounter. He has one more year. Vic Vehrinc—Center Vic played an agressive game and w'as a hard man to take out of a play. He graduated this year. Tom Palmer—-Guard Tom always played the game in a sportsman like way and gave everything he had while he was in the game. Tom is another Senior. [431 THE T O K A [42] Our Football Team Chiplcy Totman Docrncr Mayfield John Chipley In the make-up of almost every institution men can be found who seldom come before the public eye but who labor unceasingly to make things run smoothly. It is the athletic manager who sees that the football field is put in shape each fall, has the goal posts set up and the field properly marked out. keeps the basketball court clean, and attends to a host of minor details. A position of this sort requires tact in handling people, and when John Chipley was chosen by the High “G this year to assume charge of these duties, he executed them with unusual skill. Russel Totman In arousing school spirit at games and assemblies, the yell leader has an important task to perform. In fact, it is well known that many a game has been won by the zealous exertions of the yell leader as he led the rooting section. Rusty Totman’s agile contortions have inspired our teams many times during the last year, and his graduation will be a great loss. Elsa Doerner Miss Doerner’s unflagging enthusiasm and coaching have helped to make Girls’ Athletics one of the leading school activities, for she was always eager to help the girls whenever she was needed, spending long hours practicing with them. Her understanding of the needs of the girls has made possible their rapid progress, while her high ideals of sportsmanship have helped the girls to realize just what a good sport stands for. Coach Mayfield To attempt to convey an adequate impression of the regard in which Coach May-field is held by the students is extremely difficult, for one has a tendency to express oneself in such large terms as to seem insincere. But surely the man is seldom found who could implant himself so firmly in the hearts of the students as our Coach has in the space of one short year. Impossible as it well-nigh is to escape adverse criticism from a certain percentage of the boys, Mr. Mayfield’s ever-ready desire to do the right thing and his good-natured grin have almost entirely eliminated hard feelings.

Adviser Hubert I otman Kenneth Smith Wallace Palmer Keith Smith John Shaw Mr. Carpenter History of the Freshman Class On September 9, 1929, a class of one-hundred-sixty-five strong entered the Grants Pass Flying School. An early meeting of the class was held and the following officers were elected: Chief Pilot, Hubert Totman: assistant pilot. Kenneth Smith; log recorder, Wallace Palmer; financier, Keith Smith; official charter, Claire Coburn. Because of Claire’s departure for Klamath halls, John Shaw succeeded him as official charter. Mr. Carpenter was chosen for the position of chief instructor for the class. This year has been a busy and an an interesting one for the Freshman class. It was the task of the members to erect a huge bonfire on Rally Nite to inspire courage in the hearts of the local pigskin fliers for their coming derby schedule. On the day following Thanksgiving, a trial flight was taken over the the Green Meadows Trail, with good results. During the year the class was welcomed by the Seniors at the Senior Reception, and by the Sophomores at the Sophomore-Freshman Party. The class presented a very humorous and original stunt on Stunt Nite. At midyear the class was considerably increased by the incoming Sub-freshmen. Due to the success of the class in all its activities this year, it seems evident that it will be highly successful in all its future undertakings, and every member of the class feels deeply indebted to Mr. Carpenter for his unfailing loyalty and cooperation in leading the affairs of the Freshman Class to a worthy goal. 135) THE TOKA Last Year’s Awards Due to the fact that the following awards were presented at the close o last year, they could not be included in the 1 oka Rotary Medal (Best All-round Boy) - Orion Garrett Activities medal (Greatest number of activities), Beatrice Hively Business and Professional Women’s Award (To outstanding girl in Commerce) - Geraldine 1 hompson School Medal (Best All-round Girl) - - Ruth Gray Northwest College Conference Scholarship - Herbert Jess La Verne College Scholarship - - Chester Flory Girl’s League Tablet Outstanding Girl a.

Nona Carper attends to the records, Vera Gray is business manager, Velma Allen is a member of the council of ships taking part in the race, while Miss Gorman acts as a “trouble shooter and sees that everything is in good running condition. In this endurance test they have shown many excellent performances, including meetings, hikes, and other forms of amusement, have taken an active part in all school athletics, and have won several pennants this year. The Junior Class sponsored the program given on Washington’s birthday. On December 6. 1929. the Juniors presented a very pleasing class play entitled I he 1 ouchdown.” Junior Flunk Day was celebrated and the barbeque given the Seniors. At the end of this third lap the Junior Class plane is still maintaining its high record and the latest wireless from the chief Pilot states that they have prospects of surpassing all endurance tests. Senior Poem The sun is sinking in the West And tinting all the clouds with gold. But sadness weighs within our breast. As farewell to our school is told. Oh, why must we recall with pain The days of Freshman innocence. And why brush tears away in vain At thoughts of Sophomore diligence? Our thoughts still linger on the hours When we were Juniors gay and wild; And now, with arms heaped up with flowers The Senior still would be a child. O, F ather Time, roll back the years. Give back the moments we regret! O, would that we could dry the tears Shed o’er the scenes we can’t forget. Let us relive those precious days And grasp the gifts on us bestowed. But alas! those days are yesterdays E’en now we march on Life's rough road. Life’s but a school we all attend. And lessons we shall learn each day. Let’s keep in mind that Seniors lend The best they have along the way.

Student Council Adviser John Chipiey Gerald IVlanfull Katherine Wiley Kenneth Bryan Lois Conner Miss Walker Senior Class History Four years ago the giant monoplane, lacquered in green and white and with “Class of 30” written on its wings, took to the air with motors roaring. For the first trial flight Floyd Smith was chosen Pilot; Mabel Dodson. Relief Pilot; while Marjorie Carrell, Caroline Harbeck, and Katherine Wiley headed the Repairing Crew. Miss Landon took her place by the Pilot’s side in order that she might assume charge if anything went wrong. After a fearful initiation into the mysteries of Flying School Navigation the newcomers were treated more kindly at a reception given by the Class that was about to attempt a solo” flight, and at a party, which was later returned, given by the “Class of 29” many lasting friendship were formed. For the second year of intensive training the following were elected: Harvey Jones, Pilot; Nellie Neilson, Relief Pilot; Caroline Harbeck. Marjorie Carrell, and Katherine Wiley, Repairing Crew; and Miss Schepman, Flying Instructor. Because of the previous year’s intensive training the plane was made to function much more smoothly. During its leisure time the crew took an active part in athletics, socials, orchestra, and other activities. In its third year at Flying School the crew was allowed to handle the controls whenever it seemed capable of doing so. Harvey Jones occupied the Pilot’s seat; Nellie Neilson was Relief Pilot; Joe Klitz, Caroline Harbeck. and Lois Conner constituted the Repairing Crew; and Miss Cantine was Flying Instructor. The crew found time in spare moments to give a I hanksgiving Day play, a successful Junior Play, and also to be well represented in athletics. On Flunk Day the “Class of 30 went into a tail-spin but came out of it in time to receive a cup given to the class most active in athletics. When the crew had returned from the furlough given at the end of each training period, John Chipiey was made Pilot; Gerald Manfull, Relief Pilot; Katherine Wiley, Kenneth Bryan, and Lois Conner weie put on the Repairing Crew; and Miss Walkei was chosen Flying Instructor. In spite of the fact that they were being groomed in the finer details of “solo” flying the crew found time to assume leadership in inter-class activities. as is shown by the fact that they won the inter-class football championship, the interclass basketball championship, and the Student Body Dues Contest. In addition to this, the Senior Play, “Green Stockings,” was given, representatives were sent to the University of Oregon Convention, and a leading part was taken in all extra-curricular activities. May 28, amid handclasps and farewells, the green and white “Class of 30’ zoomed into the air, all members of the crew having qualified as “solo pilots in the Flight of Life, not unmindful that it is an extremely hazardous cruise, one filled with “air-jxickets” and forbidding peaks upon which many swiftly sailing planes have crashed. hsl Classes THE T O K A Student Court The Student Court was organized this year by the Student Council and has been a decided success, although yet in its infancy. The purpose of the Court is to promote co-operation and self-government among the students, instilling into their minds the responsibilities of loyalty and good fellowship. By popularly electing all officers except the minutemen and jurors, interest in court proceedings is stimulated and kept alive. Under the leadership of Judge Shaw, who has proved to be a most capable officer, the Court has rendered just verdicts in the cases which have come before it. The Student Court, which has proved so successful in other schools, is now proving its worth in our school. The officers are doing such excellent work that we are sure the foundation which they have laid this year will make the Court a success for many years to come.

[8] THE T O K A Flight Every star up in the heavens represents a lofty aim; Every cioudland is a landmark on the airman’s flight to fame. Every fledgling becomes restless and leaves its native shore I o fly beyond the sea as if in quest of something more. So in life our paths lead upward to a destined end or goal— I lie outcome of a longing deep within the human soul; 1 he cherished hope that we may leave the burdens that we bear. And lead a life transfigured in a castle in the air. And the pilots who must guide us through the darkness toward the light Are the teachers who instruct us in the trials of the flight; And their counsel is to keep aloft—not sink upon the tide. But each become a Lindbergh and reach the other side. —Mary Elizabeth McWilliams Administration Tabic of Contents In Memoriam Dedication Administration Classes Athletics Activities Features Page 2 3 5 13 39 49 69 Alice Horning whose long years of tireless efforts, unfailing kindness and unswerving loyalty to the traditions of our school have endeared her to the entire community, we respectfully dedicate this twenty-third volume of the Toka Qlenn Warren Billy Helms In Memoriam The bud is but the symbol of the rose that is to be; Full blown, it will reveal its innate purity. The span of youth in lives of men is but prophetic sign Of dreams to be fulfilled ere the hopes of years decline. The hand that plucks the bud from its source of nourishment And causes it to wither when its destined life is spent. Gently touched these youthful spirits, and others ere their prime Were taken from the garden in the fleeting course of time. Yet the spirit of the roses that so sweetly bade them rest. And the holy benediction uttered o’er each quiet breast. Are but whispers to remind us that no one from death is free. And each must take his part in the great Eternity. —Mary Elizabeth McWilliams.
