We shed a tear; We sorrow so! Our class breaks up; Old friends must part. We leave our school. It breaks the heart! Ah, yes, but all you undergrads— You needn’t sigh about us. We get to “try our wings,” while you Must get along without us! Marjory Neill Senior Class Farewell ’31 Our High School days are over. Life is just begun. Hence we say, “Commencement.'' Though some things now are done. Books no longer needed; Put them all away; Turn our faces forward To a bright new day. There is work awaiting. Work untried and new; Hope must rise triumphant: Tears and sighs be few. All the helpful lessons Learned so well in school. Now we’ll put to practice; Self we’ve learned to rule. Now that school is over Service we must give; When we work for others We have learned to live. We’ll begin by helping Push the world along. Fighting still for justice Fighting 'gainst all wrong. School days now are over. But no tears we shed. Work is calling, calling; We must forge ahead.

An Appreciation It is hard for the average student to realize the extensive duties of a teacher. Yet, one cannot help seeing the responsibility of such a position—a responsibility which extends for many years, that of educating men and women for a place in the world. We, the students of Grants Pass High School, wish to express our deepest appreciation for the work of our teachers. We like to consider the members of the faculty not only as our guardians and directors, but as our friends and helpers.

Much time and careful consideration was put on all matters brought before it. Without this leadership the school activities would have been less successful. Membership in the Student Council consists of two representatives from each major organization, with the exception of the athletic association, which has one. Each organization of outstanding importance has equal power in legislative matters of the school activities. Mr. Buhlman. Miss Dunn and Mr. Mayfield acted as an advisory board and were of inestimable value in consideration of school problems. Members of the organizations represented in the council are: Principal of Grants Pass high school Superintendent of Schools President of Student Body Vice-president Student Body Secretary of Student Body Treasurer of Student Body Ticket Manager Senior President Senior Representative Junior President Junior Representative Sophomore President Sophomore Representative Freshman President Freshman Representative Faculty Advisers Toka Editor Toka Manager Scroll Editor Scroll Manager Athletic Manager H.

Its purpose is to bestow upon the students a greater power of self government, to give them a sense of responsibility, to aid them in conforming to rules laid down by themselves, and to educate them in civil procedure. The court was a success from the first, and this year, after certain changes were effected in the constitution, it has brought about order to a marked degree. Due to the nature of the organization and also to the interest taken in it by the students, the court has established itself as one of the most permanent and beneficial organizations in the school.

We had climbed many slopes, crossed many plains and now, in 1927, we were at the foot of an enormous mountain. Four more years and we would be at the top. We readily saw that a group of one hundred and fifty-four Freshmen needed organization. F'or a leader we chose Joseph Rose; assistant leader, William Helms; financier, Hollis Dole; recorder, Robert Thompson; representative to outside world, Eugene Lee. Mrs. W. J. Mishler was chosen adviser. To relieve the monotony of the journey, we gave the Sophomores a party. We took second on Stunt Night. We were well represented in all activities. By 1928 our journey was one-fourth over. The following were elected to lead the group to a higher plane: Florence Johnson, leader; Billy Helms, assistant; Velma Allen, recorder; Jack Bennett, financier; and Vera Gray, representative. Mrs. Mishler was again chosen adviser. This year we put on a pleasing program on Washington’s birthday. We entertained the Freshmen with a party. We won the pennant for rally night and for the Toka contest. We again took second place on Stunt Night. By 1929 we were a group much looked up to. Much was expected of us. We didn't fall short. Byron Harmon as leader. Jack Bennett, assistant; Nona Carper, recorder; Vera Gray, financier; Velma Allen, representative, and Miss Gorman, adviser, successfully kept our crew climbing. By this time we could see the top. One class had just reached it and disappeared to—we knew not where. We won the rally night pennant. The Washington’s birthday program was sponsored by the Juniors of ’31. On December 6, 1929, a very pleasing class play entitled “The Touchdown” was presented. Junior Flunk Day and the Junior-Senior barbecue were observed. As Seniors, we knew the journey was nearly over. We look back on our many trials and troubles, most of which have ended in victory for us. Some have been unable to make the grade—others have dropped out for various reasons. At the beginning of our last year as pioneers we elected Hollis Dole, leader, Arthur Simpson, assistant, Nona Carper, recorder; Warren Ausland, financier; Leslie Shaw, representative; Miss Walker and Miss Gorman, advisers. Velma Allen was elected assistant leader when Arthur Simpson moved away. We successfully put over the Senior Reception. An unusually interesting Christmas program was given. We won the 1 oka pennant and the Student Body dues contest. On April 13 and 16 the Senior class play, “Summer Is A-Comin’ In” was very successfully presented at the Rivoli theater. Dress-up Day followed. The last hike with all members present was the Senior 1 able Rock hike on May 15. THE T O K A Hollis M. Dole Dole Quiet, pleaKe.” Majors: English and Science.

Expectant, in this Hall of Knowledge, a diploma in our hand. Before we build our castles, we let our dreams return To the days when we were Freshmen, and our hearts with hopes did burn. We came, we saw, we wondered if ever we might gain This rank that seemed Utopian, though won by might and main. Through many joys and struggles we fought our winning way. Till we stand at the foot of the Mount of Fame on our hard won Triumph Day. Yes. the foot, not the summit,—the ascent will last through life. And 'tis made through hardships and struggles, cares and heartbreaks and strife. Today we’ll marshal our forces, for the march on life’s long road. And. taking our place in the ranks of men. we’ll shoulder our share of the load. And when the summit's surmounted, when the thread of our life is spun. May we say, like the Roman of old, “We came, we saw, and we won!” Leslie Shaw, ’31 'Page JI THE T O K A o • Seniors Forward!

And the gold from the streams he panned. The white man brought his diseases That swept the red race away. The stately chiefs of the different tribes. Met together in sad dismay. The white man stole from the red man. And deceivingly called him brother; He offered him friendship with one hand While he killed him with the other. At last the Table Rock Indians Gathered together for war; They came from the Rogue River Valley; They came together in scores. The council fire was lighted. The war dance was begun; Everyone joined the circle And danced till the rise of the sun. The red men fought for a noble cause. For they fought for their freedom and land; But the white man’s number was greater. And the Indians had played their last hand. They knew that the odds were against them; O’er the forest they no more would roam. They plunged o’re the cliff just at sunset And went to their future home.

He was assisted in his duties by Mary Ellen Ingram. The pioneer band chose Paul Neely for their secretary and Louis Hamilton for their treasurer. Their advisers who have been very loyal throughout this school year are Miss Quinlan and Mr. Carpenter. Mr. Carpenter was their adviser in the first year of their pioneering adventure. In one of the meetings following the election of officers it was made known that Wallace Palmer was unable to hold his office and so the class elected his assistant, Mary Ellen Ingram, to take his place and Chester Stringer was elected to fill the vacant position. The Thanksgiving play was presented to the Student Body by the Sophomore class and received hearty applause. The annual party was given by the Sophomores to the Freshman class. This was returned later in the year by the Freshmen. Both parties were well attended. The class is progressing very rapidly this year in athletics. Of course next year it is hoped that it will be “a lot better”. A beautiful class pennant was purchased this year. The object of the class is to keep up class spirit and cooperation during the summer as well as through the school months. Taken in all, for the Sophomore pioneers this has been indeed quite an interesting and successful year.

They have an unusually large class this year and are proud of their records made so far. Many of the boys took part in football, basketball, handball, track and tennis, making a very good showing in each case. In tennis and track they have especially distinguished themselves. The girls were also very active in school sports, doing credit to the class. The girls and boys alike have taken an active interest in all musical organizations in the school. Many of the members belong to the orchestra and glee clubs, and the class can boast of a Freshman band. Hopes are high and expectations many for the future conquests of this Freshman class.

Tage 46 Athletics THE T O K A 0- Mavfielrl J oerner Palmer Allen Deal Coach Mayfield Words fail to express adequately the esteem which we have for our coach. Mr. L. B. Mayfield. Coach Mayfield took the boys through long weeks of grueling practice until the game of football was mastered. The championship team that was produced was due largely to the intensive coaching through which each member was led. Although our basketball was not championship stuff, it is foundation for next year’s successes. Our Coach—his teams, his friendly ways, and his ideals of sportsmanship, speak for themselves. Miss Doerner Earnest, cheerful, conscientious, is our coach, who has worked for the best interests of girls’ athletics. She is one of those who are ever willing to do what is needed, no matter how much time and work it takes. Miss Doerner is adviser of the Girls’ Athletic Association and the Girls’ Peppy Pointers, the latter a club of those girls who have won a hundred points in athletics. She has won the fine regard of all the girls, and is truly a successful coach. Wallace Palmer His faithful services as athletic manager have given him a reputation for dependability. Velma Allen We chose Velma as our yell leader because of her leadership and ability to put pep into the students. The yells this year have been splendid. Mr. Deal Track, a new development in our school, was well handled by the assistant coach. Mr. Deal. Track in past years has been a back number, for it was not until this year that it was classified as a major sport. Mr. Deal has done much to bring this about, and to further the track interests of the school. I is hard to record in cold type the trials and triumphs of a good coach. Let us merely say that we are proud of him—proud of his fellowship. his coaching, his teams. Mr. Swigart Tennis, this year, has progressed rapidly under the skillful coaching of Mr. Swigart. As a result of long weeks of practice and training. Mr. Swigart has developed a school team of which we can be justly proud—a team which is prepared to fight for a place among the neighboring high schools. After realizing that the resources which can be devoted to this activity are limited, we respect the more the efforts which have successfully furthered tennis. Tagc 49 k3 - THE TOKA Champions! cPage 50 THE T O K A 3 The Football Boys Ernest Bearss, Tackle—210 Ernie was a stone wall against the opponents, because of his size and speed, and will make them all take notice in the games next year. He also carried the ball for great gains and could kick and pass well. Jack Bf.nnett, Quarter—135—Captain Jack was a very aggressive and hard-tackling member of the “Four Horsemen”, whose place will be hard to fill on next year’s team. Warren Ausland. Halfback—170 “Ossy” was the blocking half of the “Four Horsemen”, who helped make many touch-downs by mowing down the opposition, leaving a clear path for the ball carrier. He made the most difficult position on the team look easy. Cordon Corporon, Guard—145 “Scorpion” was a “tough” little guard, very dependable and able to fill his position. The experience he gained this year will help him in playing a top game next fall. Iceland Gillette. Fullback—185 “Razor”, another member of the Invincible Four Horsemen , was a steady player and good at hammering the line for yardage. Byron Harmon, End—145 Barney possessed the natural ability to snag passes and recover punts. His graduation will be a great loss to next year’s team. Earl Jobe, End— 165 Jobe was an outstanding player. His ability to catch long passes and make holes in the opposing line will certainly be missed next year. He was listed as an all-Southern Oregon player. Walton Massie, Center—145 This was Massie’s first year on the team, but he proved to be a real scrapper, in spite of his small stature. Watch Massie next season. Edwin Strack, Guard—170 Strack was a real fighting line man. Often, the team made large gains because he made a hole in the line. Strack will be here next year. Laborn Tolin, Guard—155 Football was a new thing to Laborn, but he showed marked ability in the line, and was a real tackier. Roland Thompson, Tackle—170 Roudy” was a smashing man at the tackle position, skilled in all the essentials of a football player. He played every quarter of every game during the entire season. Lowell Voetberg. Guard—160 This was “Swede’s first year to play for Grants Pass, although he has played for Enterprize High School before. He was a good all-around defensive man. Carlton Wiley, Halfback—155 Wiley, one of the “Invincible Four Horsemen,” was the most elusive ball carrier on the team, and knew the gentle art of changing his pace while running. O’Neil, Carroll. Neely, McGuire, and Johnston were also some boys who played in many of the games, but owing to the strict requirements for making letters, they were not awarded letters this year. All but Johnston will be back to fight for places on next year’s team. ‘Page }i THE T O K A Exciting Moments Football Review of 1930 This season ended as the most successful in years for Grants Pass. Not only did we succeed in winning the Southern Oregon Conference Championship trophy, but this year’s football season was also a financial success, with a large attendance at all of the games. We owe our success this year to our efficient coach, to the football spirit and backing of the student body and the townspeople, and to the men who played in the games. A number of Grants Pass ball toters were named on the all Southern Oregon team. Grants Pass 7 Grants Pass 13 Grants Pass 40 Grants Pass 7 Grants Pass 7 Grants Pass 23 Grants Pass 14 Grants Pass 19 G.

Ernest Bearss—Center. “Ernie’s” combination of size and speed made him a “whiz at the center position. Men like him are hard to find. Byron Harmon—Forward. A three-year veteran is Barney”. We shall miss his natural ability to toss baskets next year. Edward Madden—Forward. Although “Eddie” has a slight frame, he is considered one of the most dangerous offensive men on the team. He also graduates this year. ROLLAND FloRY—Guard. Flory certainly showed up well for his first year out. We are expecting wonders from him next year. Jack Bennett—Guard. Jack is one of those quick-acting players, who can think well while playing. He will not be back next year. Carlton Wiley—Guard. Carlton was a whirlw'ind” on the floor this year, and was considered one of the smartest guards in the conference. James McGuire—Forward. “Jimmy” handled himself well on the floor and is a good basket shooter. His presence will assure Grants Pass of another good player next year. Tfl«e 5i THE T O K A Basketball 1930-31 Basketball did not turn out quite so favorably as our football this year. Grants Pass opened the season by winning over Rogue River on December I 5 by a score of Grants Pass 21, Rogue River 14. Our second game was also a victory. On December 18 we beat Crescent City 2 I to 18. On December 30 we lost by one point to Crescent City (Grants Pass I 3. Crescent City 14). January I a game was played here with University High of Eugene which resulted in a loss of Grants Pass 19, University High 28. The next five games with Medford. Rogue River. Ashland. Klamath Falls, and Roseburg were defeats for our team. However, some were very close games. The next game on January 21 was a victory for Grants Pass over Glendale (Grants Pass 27, Glendale 18). February 7, we took Roseburg down a notch by defeating them. Roseburg was not able to score a single field basket during the entire first half. February 20—This was one of the closest and most exciting games of the season. Ashland succeeded in making only one field basket during the last half. 1 he final score was Grants Pass 27, Ashland 30. On February 28 our team took a trip to Chiloquin and Klamath Falls, winning the Chiloquin game by a score of 20 to 12, after losing the first game to Klamath Falls. Tage 54 THE T O K A 0° Track Those turning out for track this year were: (reading from left to right) Back row: Gordon Corporon, Gerald Rannells, Herbert Slusser, Alex Jackson, Raymond Steele, Byron Harmon, Ernest Bearss. Frank O’Neil, Charles McMurdo, Ernest McTimmonds, Norman Howard, and Everett McTimmonds. Front row: Herman Henrikson, George Latimer. John Shaw, Phelan Nelson, Warren Ausland, Hollis Dole, and Louis Hamilton. Grants Pass was also outstanding m track this year. Track comes so late in the year that it is impossible for an account of some of the meets to appear in the annual. However, up to the date of this writing. Grants Pass won both the triangular meets between Grants Pass, Rogue River, and Gold Hill, and the first Southern Oregon Invitational Meet. At the Invitational Meet we won two cups. One for placing first in the meet, and one for the best relay team. While we did not place in the State meet at Eugene, we made a good showing. Tage 55 The Tennis Club Tennis this year, under the able coaching of Mr. Swigart, was very successful. Somewhat of a setback was felt by the loss of Simpson, Warren, and Harmon, but the team soon rallied, with Jack Bennett, George Stanbrough, Carl Layton. Jack Cook, and Harrison McCracken winning letters. Several matches were played with other cities, and although the boys did not win many games they made a very good showing. The officers of this year’s organization were George Stanbrough, president; Jack Cook, secretary-treasurer; and Phil Brainerd, manager. Arthur Simpson. Byron Harmon, Jack Bennett, Paul Warren, and George Stanbrough won letters last year, but since the names were not announced until late they could not be included in last year’s Toka. The prospects are very good for next year’s team, since the Freshman, to date, have placed first in inter-class tennis. The girls of the club have also been active, under the direction of Miss Doerner, and receive advancement in athletic standing for participation. ‘Page 56 THE T O K A I Girls' Athletic Council This group consists of the officers of the Girls’ Athletic Association.

April I 5 and 16. I he cast, under the direction of Mrs. Marcy, made an excellent showing, the production being a decided success. Since the play was given two nights, a double cast was utilized in some of the parts. The action is staged in England, the time being just after the World War. An interesting plot is developed around the unexpected advent of a beautiful girl into a bachelor household. Willoughby Spencer, the handsome young man who is engaged to three girls, was played by Carlton Wiley and Ernest Bearss. Marjorie Neill and Rosaltha Crouch were opposite them in the role of Silvia Spencer, the unexpected cousin. Jack Hollybush, Ernest Wybrow, and Harry Davenport were played by Edward Madden. Philip Brainerd. and Hollis Dole, respectively. Opposite them were Vera Gray and Eula Whitsett as Daisy Tapping, Gladyce I urner and Ruth Rubins as Rose Philpots. and Elizabeth Bash and Mary Jeanette Duer as Violet Drinkwater.

The Patsy” was given at the High School auditorium December 12, before a very appreciative audience. The plot centers around Patsy, the unappreciated younger daughter who seems to be the object of all the family quarrels. Mom” and the older sister Grace, have social aspirations, and consider Pop and Patsy merely hindrances. Patsy is in love with her older sister’s admirer, Tony Anderson, and with Pop’s help succeeds in getting him to fall in love with her without his knowing what is taking place. It seems, for a time, that she must give up even Tony to Grace, but eventually everything is happily settled, with Pop pledging himself to keep the household running smoothly thereafter.

Miss Macy. Two selections of three-part music were sung for Teachers’ Institute and a double trio was selected from the club to sing for the P.-T. A. Christmas entertainment. The club purchased caps this year and had them to wear at the Musical Festival at Ashland on May Day. The officers elected for the year were President, Viola Coover; Vice President, Ina Jones; Secretary and Treasurer, Peggy Schmidt; Reporter, Nedra Whitsett; Accompanist, Naomi Hawkins, filling the vacancy left by Doris Hunter at mid-year. Boys’ Glee Club President ....... Johnny Ruttencutter Secretary and Treasurer ----- Tom Meade Throughout the year the Boys’ Glee Club has tried its best to cheer a part of the world with singing. Entertainment has been furnished for various organizations in Grants Pass as well as for the students of the High School. The boys have derived much pleasure from their work and hope that their various audiences were pleased. One thing that the people will perhaps find hard to realize is the amount of work required to become good enough to be a public performer. They will also probably never fully appreciate the patient training given the boys by Miss Melba Macy, whose untiring efforts are largely responsible for the success of the club. ‘Page 64 1 T H E TO K A Orchestra The orchestra had a very successful year under the leadership of Martin I repte, and we are proud of the reputation which it has built up. More and more we are coming to realize the importance of music in high school education. Our orchestra well accomplishes this aim. giving each member invaluable experience in group work. A most successful concert was held in November and was attended by a very appreciative audience. On April 30 the orchestra took part in a music festival held in Ashland. In such entertainments as the Senior Play, the Oratorical Contest, the Junior Play, and the Music Memory Contest, the orchestra took an active part. The school is fortunate, indeed, to have so skilled a director as Mr. 1 repte, whose success in the work has made our orchestra justly renowned. ‘Tage 65 Girls’ League I he fourth year of the Girls’ League, an organisation endeavoring to stimulate friendliness and co-operation among the girls of the High School, has seen much advancement in the social well-being of the girls. An auction sale of all the unclaimed lost and found articles along with numerous hot dog and candy sales and a cooked-food sale furnished the girls with a large part of the needed fund for furnishing the girl's room, the major project of the year. 1 he meetings were unusually interesting this year, with delightful programs and the girls showing much interest in the work. The officers were presented with attractive pins which are a token of appreciation for their services. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Elizabeth Bash; Vice President, Mary Louise Neil son; Secretary. Betty Springer; Treasurer, Eugenia Hunt; Chairman of Activity Department, Jeane Springer: Chairman of the Entertainment Department, Marjorie Neill; Chairman of the Social Service Department, Martha Lee. Much credit for the success of this year was due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Marcy, Dean of Girls of the Grants Pass High School. Tuge 06 THE T O K A 1 The Service Club Organized and established by a few of the senior boys of 1929, the Mountain Service Club has continued to grow in size and value. The boys are making an effort to develop an organization which will be of real service to the school in name and in deed. The outstanding purpose of the organization is to give the boys a chance to show leadership, and develop ability to do constructive work. As a motto they have chosen: “Service lies in cooperation.” Membership in the Mountain Service Club is gained through invitation only. After admittance to the organization the boys are expected to enter whole-heartedly into the work outlined by the club. There is also a membership requirement regarding scholastic standing. The boys have volunteered their services in various activities, such at taking tickets at school entertainments or helping in the preparations for a coming event. While the organization has done much in school activities, its members look forward to future years of more efficient service. The officers this year were: Louis Hagberg, president; Warren Ausland, vice-president; Roland Flory, secretary and Fred Thornburg, treasurer. Tage 67 The Torch Honor Society The Torch Honor Society is a service organization endeavoring to establish good fellowship, to encourage scholarship, and to promote good citizenship among the students of the High School. Membership is not gained through friends, but must be earned by scholastic standing, school service, and citizenship. In order to be a member of the society during the Sophomore year. Freshmen must earn twenty-four points. Sophomores must earn fifty points to be a member during their Junior year and to continue as a member. Juniors must earn eighty points. For the Torch Pins, which are presented Class Night as a permanent possession. Seniors must have earned one hundred and ten points at the end of their school careers. Scholarship credit is based upon the semester average for each subject. The society has about forty members of which Nona Carper was chosen president: Martha Lee, vice-president; and Irene Manuel, Secretary-treasurer. The society owes much of the success of this year to Miss Dunn who is our able faculty adviser. ‘Page 68 THE T O K A The Order of the G I he Order of the G, composed of major lettermen, has been very successful this year. Beside doing their regular duties they have sponsored wrestling matches at the school and have had charge of the construction of the G on Baldy. They also have seen that t ie traditions of the school were carried out. Although tennis is not a major sport, the tennis men have been taken into the Order of the G as associate members and have been given a stripe. Next year the Athletic Manager is to be given a major letter. It is to be a G with an M inside of it. The ofncers of the Order of the G are: Laborn Tolin, President; Warren Aus-land. Vice President; and Lowell Voetberg, Secretary-Treasurer. Tage 69 T H E_T O K A F. F. A. Club The F. F. A. Club has been very active this year, having done much of a constructive nature in and about the school. We have the boys to thank for many of the cabinets and bookcases in the classrooms as well as additions to our athletic equipment. The social side, however, was not neglected. T he h ather and Son Banquet held on April 7 was much enjoyed, and a watermelon bust and picnic also gave vent to a glorious time. March I 0 a ten cent assembly was presented to the students. Interschool activities consisted of a judging team at Portland, district contests at Myrtle Point, and state contests at Salem. Officers for the year were: President, Olaf Anderson: Vice-president, Paul Warren: Secretary, Ray Johnson; Treasurer, Gordon Corporon; Reporter, Don Cook: and Adviser, Mr. W. S. Carpenter. ‘Page 70 THE T O K A 0° Gorman Lee Brown Thomason Lee Shaw Debate For the first time in history, all the districts of Oregon debated the same question. Resolved; 1 hat chain stores are detrimental to the best interests of the American people. T he inter-class debate season opened with tjie Seniors upholding the affirmative and the Juniors the negative side of the question. The Sophomores, unable to prepare on the question, forfeited to the Freshmen, who were defeated by the Juniors, the winners of the Junior-Senior debate. The teams were composed of Leslie Shaw and Labom Tolin, Seniors; Lenora Brown and Martha Lee, Juniors; Fred Dayton and John Shaw, Freshmen. Mr. Thomason coached the negative, and Miss Gorman the affirmative. In place of the usual schedule, the Southern Oregon Debate League held a Tournament of three days. Each city was favored with two debates. The Tournament opened here with Leslie Shaw and Eugene Lee upholding the affirmative for Grants Pass against the negative from Ashland. That evening Lenora Brown and Martha Lee defended the negative at Ashland. The tournament closed with Lenora Brown and Martha Lee debating with Medford affirmative at Medford, while Leslie Shaw and Eugene Lee opposed the Medford negative in Grants Pass. An interesting factor in the debate was the new method of judging. A critic judge, Mr. A. E. O’Konski. rendered decisions at the end of each debate, all the decisions being in favor of the affirmative. Medford was rated the Southern Oregon champion, with Grants Pass second, and Ashland third. Public Speaking Contest 1 wo boys represented the High School in the district finals of the State Extempore and Interpretation contest at Medford on Saturday, March 14th. Fred Dayton, a freshman, gave the interpretative reading, while Bob Peck, a sophomore, appeared in the extempore speaking. While neither of the boys placed, each made a very satisfactory showing. Their efforts are to be further commended from the fact that they were pitted against seniors from both Medford and Ashland.

Such a task is exceedingly difficult, and as a result of continued effort we offer this book for your approval and appreciation. Our school colors have been featured in the entire book. Blue covers and inserts with white pages present the attractive appearance which is so essential to the good annual. Our theme, of pioneer life, was chosen because of its significance in this section of the country and its influence on the development of our natural resources. Much of the credit for the splendid work of the annual was due to the efforts of our adviser. Mrs. Marcy. Her ever-willing work and helpful suggestions were of great value to the staff.

Much excitement was evident during the signing of autograph or ‘‘get acquainted” books. In the assembly a program was given consisting of musical numbers and a play entitled “1 he Womenfolks”. Refreshments were served in the upper hall. Decorations were very pleasing, the color scheme being crimson and silver. It was a time of fun and frolic for all who attended. Girls League Party I he girls held their annual party in the latter part of January. Each one came dressed to represent some well-known character, historical or mythical. A prLe was given for the best character portrayal. The Mother’s Day Tea was given on May Fourth in honor of the mothers of the tawn. A program was enjoyed, after which refreshments, prepared by the Home Economics Class, were served in the upper hall. Soph-Frosh Party On January 10, the Freshmen were entertained at the High School auditorium by the Sophomores. Basketball games were played between the girls and boys in the early part of the evening. A very entertaining program was given by the Sophomores, followed by refreshments of ice cream and cake. Washington Day Program The Washington Day Program was presented by the Junior Class on February 20. The main feature of the afternoon was a short piay entitled “Mistress Penelope.” in which Alice Hilles, Rolland Flory. Robert Voetburg, and Eugene Rice were featured. A reading was also given by Katherine Eismann. Music was furnished by several members of the class. Dress-Up Day On April 23 Senior Dress-Up Day was celebrated. Costumes of every kind and description were in evidence, and many pictures were taken to record the event. Gaiety was in order and the day was much enjoyed. Since the boys lost the Toka contest they entertained the girls at luncheon that noon. Junior-Senior Barbecue The Junior-Senior Barbecue was held Saturday, May 2, at the Scout Camp. After baseball was played a delicious luncheon was served by the Juniors. Entertainment was provided for those who wished to remain. Many took trips to Medford. Ashland, and near-by cities later in the afternoon. Tage 77 Junior Flunk Day Junior Flunk day was held March 1 3, at a spot chosen by the class, four miles up the river from Gold Hill. Over 30 Juniors, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Mayfield, left early in the morning. After the games, a lunch was served consisting of weiners and buns with pickles and marshmallows. The party then broke up, some going to see the Sardine Creek House of Mystery. P. T. A. Banquet On May 22 the Seniors were entertained at the annual banquet given by the High School P.-T. A. Decorations were very artistically arranged. Numerous short talks were given by members of the class. The evening was well planned, and was much enjoyed by the Seniors. Table Rock Hike 1 he Seniors again climbed the historic plateau, 1 able Rock, the morning of May 15. Leaving the High School quite early, they drove to the foot of the hill, then climbed to the top. After descending, lunch was served, many afterward going to Medford. All gathered at Ashland for the evening meal, expressing enjoyment of the day’s activities. Thanksgiving Program November 26, the Sophomores entertained the entire school with a short play entitled “Frank Glynn’s Wives”. Those taking part were Bob Voetburg, Chester Stringer. Clara Beck, Grace Jones, Watie Holloway, and Eleanor Hood. It was a very interesting comedy skit, full of sidesplitting situations. Christmas Play The old story of “How the Chimes Rang was again unfolded in all its beauty by the Senior class on December 19. It is a beautiful play of exceptional merit, and was well presented under the direction of Miss Gorman. The play was truly an expression of the Christmas spirit. Public Speaking Banquet April 28, the Public Speaking class held its annual banquet at the High School. After dinner, speeches were given by various members of the class, with Phil Brainerd acting as toastmaster. Since each was required to bring a guest, much merriment was in evidence when all present were requested to make a speech. The evening was a decided success due to the efforts of Mrs. Marcy. instructor, and several others. Features THE T O K A 1 Literary Freedom Oh. give me the life that I love bar off on the wildest hill! With a leafy carpet under me While my lungs with pure air fill. Oh. give me the life of the wild deer, I hat feeds on the meadows so green And beds in the flowers of April 1 hat bloom on the hills between. Oh, give me the life in the mountains Where the waterfalls plunge below. O’er a layer of Crystal-white granite I hat gives back the sun’s rays like snow. Oh. give me the life that I love 'Neath the star-lit heavens at night! And lull me to sleep 'neath the sighing pines As they sway in the west wind’s flight. Laborn Tolin, ’31 Putting the “G” on Baldy Saturday morning a noble experiment was attempted, that of placing the “G” on the mountain known as Baldy. All the hard working gentlemen attending the higher institution of learning, known as the Grants Pass high school, were invited to attend and initiate Baldy to the mysterious rites performed by the pick and shovel brigade. The truck that transported the army left the Chamber of Commerce at 8:15 o’clock. It took a back road (after leaving the highway near Baldy) that would make the “Rocky Road to Dublin” hide its head and imagine itself upholstered with pillows. Then, last but not least, was a mere hike of a mile or so through the brush and over rocks, the parade straggling all the way between Baldy and town. As the panting, burden-laden, miniature Herculeses arrived at the crest they were marshalled into a semblance of order and then the fun commenced. It will continue for some time. Soon the G will stand forth, a tribute to our determination—to the spirit of G. P. H. S. Norman Gray, ’32 The Tack. Let us pause a moment to consider the lowly tack. A tack is full grown at birth. It comes into existence and goes through life with only one leg. This, however, does not cause it to be looked upon as a cripple; in fact with two legs it would be a staple and not a tack. The head of a tack is both round and flat. Certain people are often spoken of as round-heads or flat-heads, but they are not considered to be as sharp as a tack. No amount of argument will affect a tack in the least. Neither can one be coaxed —a tack simply must be driven. When once driven to do its duty, however, a tack will often cling to the job with such tenacity as to necessitate prying it loose. Formerly they were seldom called by any name except carpet tacks. All this is changed. Owners of automobiles now call them other names. A tack in a tire has few equals as a stimulant to the use of profanity. ‘Page 6i « 3 THE TOKA Wild Beauty Sometimes my soul leaves the walls which are my body and which surround it and goes to a dreamland on the side of a hill to rest and drink in the wild beauty of its liking. The little breezes play lilting melodies in the heart of the trees as an accompaniment to the everlasting love song of the birds, and a pulsing, bubbling stream, in a laughing riot to get nowhere, flows on into the depths of the forest. The ground is like a patchwork quilt of green and brown because of the tiny rugs of leaves scattered here and there on the green. 1 he sky shows through the trees making little bottomless lakes among the leaves. But over all reigns a peacefulness that rests me and 1 know as 1 turn to go that I shall always return again. Gertrude Carter, ’34 L’Envoi 1 o the Seniors of 31 ’’ Up from the ranks of the wondering. Slowly, step by step. We’ve joined the host of the wise men Onward, step by step. The highroad of learning still beckons; Only the weak shall stop. The brave—their hearts shall not falter— Onward, on to the top! Tom Meade A Brick of Ice Cream at the Senior Reception Did you stop to think as you lunched at the Senior Reception that you were ending the life of a beautiful brick of ice cream? A few days ago that same brick of ice cream was first created, not as ice cream but as a translucent fluid which we know as milk. Marveling in its creation and surroundings each milk molecule was taught of its new life and of the hoped-for goal of success. These teachings were suddenly stopped, for those bits of matter were poured into a can and shaken and jostled about for an interminable time, each molecule hoping that the journey to the creamery was soon to be ended. The roar of machinery greets their arrival, reminding them of that hoped-for goal. Then comes the final test; which of them will become ice cream? All those little milk molecules begin jumping about for not one of them wants to continue the insignificant existence of a lowly molecule. Each one is desirous of attaining a life of ultimate success. At last a select few are poured into the giant freezer. Oh, what torture those little molecules endure! Finally they come out resplendent in their new form and elated over their success. They have reached the highest point of their existence. Each shimmering pink and white brick waits patiently on the shelf. Then they are taken a great distance to a place called the High School. There each one is ruthlessly slashed into symmetrical pieces. Then as we taste of its delicious flavor, it slowly melts away until it is gone— and the life of that brick of ice cream is no more. Tage 82 Philip Brainerd 1 THE T O K A 0- Editorials Courage I hink of having to remain for years of your life in a wheel chair, of days spent without the fellowship and social life which the school offers—-contrast your life with that of one suffering from the effects of that dreaded disease, infantile paralysis, and perhaps you will be able to visualize some of the handicaps with which Peggy Breitmayer has had to contend. Has she followed the line of least resistance? No—decidedly not! Instead, in three years time she has completed a four year high school course. What has done it? Will power, consistent effort and application, careful tutoring, but above all, courage— courage to take life as it comes, courage to fight on. We respect and admire these characteristics. There is no more honored member of our class than Peggy. Procress It is rather lamentable, but quite true, that we become somewhat narrow minded at times. We have become accustomed to thinking that the great advances the world has made in the last fifty years are almost wholly due to mechanical inventions and scientific progress. But we are wrong. Mechanical things help a lot. but the inventions and progress made in ordinary business are equally important. There have been just as great inventions in banking and cerchandising as in electricity—we just haven’t noticed them. To our way of thinking it is just as important and valuable to find a new and better way of handling money or of selling books as it is to invent a loud speaker or an airplane. Finding a Job Perhaps the hardest job a fellow has in life is to find a job. There are jobs and jobs. Almost anyone can work and make money in some of them. But to find the job you want that will carry you through to work lasting for fifty or sixty years—for the rest of your life then you have just about as tough an assignment as can be given a human being. By this time we should have made that selection. If not, what's the hurry? Take time to look things over. Don’t rush into something you may not like. If you have the courage to stick to the main track, you’ll make your goal with the best of them.

Without electricity we would still be in the dark ages, literally as well as figuratively. Another symbol in Grants Pass today carries the sign of continued progress, the sign of service to the future of humanity, to health, happiness, culture and refinement of present and future civilization. The Copco shield is a symbol of individual and collective effort, loyalty and faithful service to humanity.
