We gave the Thanksgiving program, a party to the Freshmen, which was later returned, and near the last of the year we purchased a beautiful blue and gold class pennant, designed by Bob ReGester. In our Junior year we presented the play, Fixing it for Father, on December I I. The proceeds derived from this play were used for the first payment on a blue velvet curtain for the stage. We presented the Washington Day program. Early in the Spring the class enjoyed Flunk Day. As a farewell to the Seniors, we held a barbecue in their honor. Officers elected for this third year were Kenneth Smith. President; John Shaw, Vice-president; Leona Allen, Treasurer, Wilma Copplc, Secretary; Keith Smith, Student Body Representative.

The stage set was given to the school as a gift. At one of the P.-T. A. meetings the Seniors spelled the parents and teachers in an old time spelling match.

The first part of the evening was spent in the lower hall where the signing of the get acquainted books” was enjoyed. A program was then given in the auditorium. Boyd Wyatt, the Senior President, gave the welcoming speech, and, in behalf of the Senior class, presented their gift to the school, the beautiful blue velvet stage curtain, hung for the first time for this event. Response was made by Frank Ingram, Freshman President. The program continued with orchestra numbers, a group song, violin trio, and a solo. Senior Dress-up Day March 14 was Senior Dress-up Day. Nearly everyone appeared all dressed up in some amusing manner—from negroes to tramps, from sailors to Spanish senoritas, and from nursery-rhyme characters to a red devil. A luncheon was enjoyed at noon, consisting of sandwiches, salad, and cake. The remainder of the noon hour and activity period were spent in taking snap shots. After the regular assembly program, the group gathered back-stage and then each one was introduced to the student body by John Shaw. Senior Table Rock Hike The 21st annual Table Rock Hike was greatly enjoyed by the Senior class on May 17. They went in cars to the foot of the rock, climbed to the top for lunch, and many went on to Medford in the afternoon. Baccalaureate Reverend E. J. Dodson delivered the address at the Baccalaureate service, which was held at the Christian Church on May 21. The Seniors and members of the faculty marched in the processional as usual. Class Night Stunts representing the four years of the Senior activities were given very entertainingly on Class Night, May 23. The Class Will and Prophecy were read. Following the Seniors' program, letters and awards were presented to many members of the student body. P.-T. A. Banquet The P.-T. A. entertained the Seniors and Faculty at a banquet given at the Del Rogue Hotel May 24, with a program of toasts and musical numbers. The decorations were in blue and gold, the class colors. Commencement Although Commencement marks the end of the Seniors' High School careers, it does not mean the end. It is rather the beginning. It is a New Year's Day that ushers them from the old months of school activities into the new life of broader endeavor. The Commencement exercises were held in the High School Auditorium on May 25. As is the custom, the Senior procession marched through the flowered arches held by the Junior girls. The program presented by the graduates consisted of four musical numbers and the addresses given by the Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Mr. Irving Vining of Ashland delivered the main address of the evening. The usual medals and awards were presented to the outstanding class members, and the Class of “33” was formally dissolved. 19 3 3 I ■ t ■ I I A_______________Page 19 Howard Neely Tfnffley Manfull Lewli Junior Class History In the fall of 1932 the once wandering Freshmen of the class of 1934 became dignified Juniors of Grants Pass High School. The first important event of the year to be considered was the election of our class officers. They were as follows: Bob Howard, President: Paul Neely, Vice-president: June Rose Tingley, Secretary; Leonard Lewis, Treasurer: Walden Manfull. Student Council Representative: Bruce Brickell, Ser-geant-at-Arms. Miss Helen Stiles and Miss Constance Baker were chosen as our class advisers.

The cast included Elaine Giesen, Mildred Turner, Kathryn Hull, Virginia Van Dyke, Phyllis Baldwin, Willard Graham. Gilbert Talbot, Jack Van Dyke, Leonard Lewis. James Coke, and Walter Roberts. Then came the Washington Birthday program for which the class presented Truth for a Day.” a short one-act play carried out by Mildred I urner, Charlotte Baldwin, Elaine Giesen. Kathryn Hull, Virginia Van Dyke and Loreen Mitchell. It was directed by Miss Baker. The Junior-Senior Barbecue was held the 29th of April in Sams Valley and we are sure it was one of the best ever. The chairman of the food committee was Mildred Turner: transportation. Bob ReGester; location. Vernon Johnson. T hus we come to the end of the Junior Class history for the year of 1932-33, which was full of activities on the part of everyone. We had a big turn-out from the class for football, basketball, track, and tennis: and the girls were well represented in all activities and athletics. Junior-Senior Barbecue The Junior-Senior Barbecue was held April 29 on the banks of the Rogue river in Sams Valley. This barbecue is given by the Juniors and is one of the big events in the closing days of the Seniors’ High School career. Entertainment, consisting of outdoor games and group singing, was conducted by Nevalyn Harmon. Mildred T urner was in charge of the refreshments and Bob ReGester of transportation.

The Sophomore class presented the annual rhanksgiving play, “She Makes a Pumpkin Pie, with a cast of Jeannette Hagen, Bond Jobe, Florence Havard, and Barbara Knapp. It was greatly enjoyed by the Student Body. In January the class held the annual Sophomore-Freshman party. Following the program in the assembly the group adjourned to the gym where games were played. The party ended with refreshments of cake and chocolate, served in the lower hall. The Sophomore class has been very active in sports, turning out a good number for football, basketball, and track. It has quite a representation in all the clubs and activities. The Sophomore Thanksgiving Program The Sophomore Thanksgiving play, “She Makes a Pumpkin Pie, was the first appearance of the members of that class on the stage. The play was a hit with the student body. The cast included Jeannete Hagen, Bond Jobe. Florence Havard. and Barbara Knapp. 19 3 3 I I I I 4 I A Page 2 3 Maid win Bromley Inirram Meeker Talbot Freshman Class History At the beginning of the school year over one hundred Freshmen entered Grants Pass High School. In organizing their class they elected Frank Ingram. President; Billy Bromley, Vice-president; Marjorie Talbot. Secretary; Annice Baldwin. Treasurer: and Earl Meeker. Student Body Representative. Miss Parr and Mr. Coke were chosen advisers. The opening event of the season was the building of the Rally Night bonfire, the traditional duty of every Freshman class. The boys worked whenever they could find time hauling trash, tires, and discarded boxes and lumber. In the serpentine up Sixth street, preceding the Rally Night bonfire, the Freshman boys participating were required to wear pajamas. 7 his pajama parade added much to the merriment of the serpentine and crowd. In addition to this a Freshman boy in a baby carriage pulled by a dignified Senior led the parade. The next important events were the annual Sophomore-Freshman Party and the annual Freshman-Sophomore Party. Both of these were enjoyed by members of both classes. The Freshmen have tried to aid the various activities of the school whenever possible. The Freshmen featured Bluebeard’s Horror Chamber at the Athletic Carnival and they presented a one-act rural comedy. “An Avalanche of Amateurs, at the revived Stunt Night. Throughout the year the Freshmen have not only entered the various activities of the school but have also tried to be quite diligent in their studies.

Hamilton 1’almer Coach Beer Frank M. Beer, our head coach, came to us from the Castle Rock. Washington. High School. While at Castle Rock, Mr. Beer had better than average success with his football teams, and his basketball team of 1931-332 captured the state title. Mr. Beer is a keen student of football and basketball. A Medford football fan was overheard to say that this year's Grants Pass football team showed more real football than any other team'of footballers to be produced in the Caves City. Mr. Beer fell heir to a squad of practically green players in basketball this year. The progress these inexperienced players made this season was remarkable and Mr. Beer s knowledge of the game was shown in the advancement of the team. Page 28 T ti E I € l A 19 3 3 Football The 1932 football season was a very successful one for the local gridiron artists. Only two games were lost during the entire season. Aside from the championship year of 1930. no other Grants Pass team of footballers can boast of as good a record. This record is practically as good as the one made in 1930 when the local boys captured the Southern Oregon gonfalon. That season the Cavemen lost one game, tied one, and barely nosed out Medford 7 to 6. T his year the Klamath Falls team came out ahead in one game and the score of the Medford clash was reversed 6 to 7 with the Pearpickers on the long end. This is the first season in local gridiron history that the opponents have been held to such a low season's total score. Only 33 points were scored against the local pigskin chasers while the Cavemen garnered a total of 133. In the championship year 74 points were scored against the Grants Pass eleven. At the close of the season the sports writers of the various papers picked all-star teams. Thompson. McGuire. Palmer, Cook. Strack, and Neely rated positions on this mythical team. Much credit for this year’s showing should go to Coach Beer, who against great odds worked unceasingly for the good of the team. Most of this year’s team graduate, so the prospects for a winning team next season don’t look so bright. A summary of scores for this season follows. The Grants Pass scores appear 0 North Bend - 0 6 - - - Alumni ------- 0 7 - - - Eureka - - - - - 0 12 - - - Klamath balls ------ 0 6 - - - Medford ....... 7 21 - - _ Ashland - 0 6 - _ - Klamath Falls ...... 20 25 - - - Roseburg ....... 0 44 - - - Ashland ------- 6 6 - - - Alumni ------- 0 135 33 19 3 3 ■ H I i c r a Page 2 9 Coach Ginn, I.. Hamilton, Burden, Cook, .lackaon. Palmer, J. Hamilton. Coach Beer. Basketball Falling heir to practically all green material this year, in basket ball. Coach Beer had to spend a good portion of the season teaching his proteges the fundamentals of the game. Along towards the end of the season the boys got to clicking and turned in some good games of basketball. George Jackson was the leading scorer on the squad with 102 points to his credit. The other high scorers were: Cook. 90 points: Burden. 65 points; L. Hamilton, 30 points; J. Hamilton. 17 points; and Palmer 8 points. These points were scored in conference games only. With the exception of Burden, all of this year’s first string will be lost next year. The biggest ray of hope for next year’s team lies in the fact that the “B squad of this year was composed mostly of Sophomores, so they will know a little about the fundamentals of the game. The complete record for this year follows. The Grants Pass scores appear first: 26 - Rogue River ...... 10 29 - Twenty-Thirty Club .... 27 38 - Cave Shop ...... 30 17 - Medford ....... 33 45 - Rogue River ...... 27 13 .

Track Track, under the tutelage of Mr. Deal, has made a decided advancement in the last couple of seasons. This year three meets have absorbed the attention of the track athletes, the Southern Oregon Invitational Meet at Grants Pass on May I 3. and the state meet in Eugene on May 20 after which the spiked-shoes artists will hang up their togs for another year. As this story goes to press, the local team has competed in the Klamath Falls Meet and is hard at work, with the hopes of winning the Southern Oregon event. At Klamath Falls, the proteges of Mr. Deal took second place, just two points behind the victors from the Pelican City. First places were captured by Orr. in the high jump; J. Hamilton, in the low hurdles; Adams, in the mile. Winners of second place honors went to Adams, in the 880 yards run; Cook, in the discus throw; and L. Hamilton, in the high hurdles. Third place laurels were taken by Espey, in the discus; Iaylor, in the high hurdles; Towne. in the javelin: and by the Grants Pass relay team. Fourth places went to Shaw, in the 100 yard dash; Palmer, in the 880: Towne, in the shot; Burden, in the low hurdles. The Southern Oregon Meet is a district meet of the state to qualify men to go to the state meet. The first two place winners will be eligible to compete at Eugene. Present indications are that Grants Pass will be quite well represented at the state affair. The invitational meet, to be held in Grants Pass, gives promise of being one of the biggest interscholastic track events in Oregon, aside from the Portland city meet and the state meet. At the present time 19 schools have signified their intentions of sending teams. Should the local lads capture this meet it will be an accomplishment of which the people of Grants Pass may well be proud. 19 3 3 I I I i i r a PAGE 3 1 Tennis Club t hree players winning their letters on last year’s championship team—Jack Cook, Jack Van Dyke, and Everett Stockstill- were members of the club again this year. Cook, tile outstanding singles’ champion of Southern Oregon for 1932, entered the 1933 season with his usual smashing style. The boys who tried out for the team this year were Jack Van Dyke. Everett Stockstill, George Jackson. Billy Gilmore, John Lilly, Tommy Blanchard, John Haman, Clay Linebaugh, and Lynn Tracy. The season this year was short because of a late spring, giving the ladder tournament a late start. Competition for number four and five places on the team turned out to be quite keen, giving good promise for the 1934 team. At the time this was written only one tournament had been played, on April 13. at Roseburg, when the local team defeated Roscburg with a score of 4 to 3. The season included tournaments with Medford, Klamath Falls, Ashland, and a second one with Roseburg.

The question for this year's discussion was “Resolved: That at least fifty per cent of all state and local revenue should be derived from sources other than tangible property. The affirmative side of the question was supported by John Shaw and Jack Van Dyke; the negative by Fred Dayton and Julia Quinby. Mr. l ird coached both teams. The tournament extended over a period of three days, l ebruary 14, 15, and 16. In each city two debates were held. On the afternoon of February 15 Grants Pass negative met the Ashland affirmative at Ashland. The decision was rendered in favor of Ashland. On the same evening Grants Pass won her first victory when her affirmative met Ashland negative at Grants Pass. The following afternoon, February 16, the negative scored another victory for Grants Pass at Medford. That evening, the affirmative was less successful, losing to Medford. Medford placed first in the district. Grants Pass second, and Ashland third. All debates were judged by Professor Dahlburg from the University of Oregon. “Resolved: That all inter-scholastic sports should be abolished, was the question selected for inter-class debates. The Sophomore team, consisting of Florence Havard and John Haman. secured the decision when they debated the Freshman team, Shirley Stinebaugh and Billy Bromley, on April 14. On May 10 the Sophomores debated the Juniors, but they were held too late for the score to be announced in this book. The Junior team consisted of Bob Howard and Jim Coke. The Seniors were unable to participate because of too many other outside activities. The Freshmen were coached by Fred Dayton, Sophomores by Jack Van Dyke, and Juniors by John Shaw. Southern Oregon Typing and Shorthand Contest This year the Typing and Shorthand Contest was held at Ashland, April 8. The typing team consisted of Ruth Ellis and George Jackson, advanced, and Rosamond Weston and John Sheldon, beginners. The team placed second with an average of 49.2 words per minute. Ruth Ellis ranked third in individual awards, with an average of 61.8 words per minute. The shorthand team consisted of Velma Anderson and Florence Dellinger, amateur, and Ruby Rich and Leonora Seyboth, novice. Ruby Rich received second place in individual awards, winning the silver medal for beginning shorthand. Much credit is due Miss Helen Schepman and Mr. Deal, instructors. Junior Play The third annual Junior play, Polly With a Past,” was presented by the class of 1934 on December 16 in the high school auditorium. It was coached by Miss Helen Stiles, assisted by Miss Constance Baker. The story centers around Polly, who is working as a maid in the apartment shared by Clay Collum and Harry Richardson. Rex Van Zile is seriously interested in Myrtle Davis, whose life work seems to be saving human derelicts, and he calls upon his friends. Clay and Harry, to help him win her. At Polly’s suggestion, it is decided that Rex must fall into the hands of a supposed siren, from whom Myrtle will find delight in rescuing him. Polly plays the role, then, of the beautiful French siren and complications follow thick and fast. Myrtle is properly shocked but agrees to save Rex when Clay and Harry suggest it to her. However, after Clay and Harry have helped Rex to the extent of proposing to Myrtle for him, he finds out that he really loves Polly, and the play ends as Polly reveals herself to be the daughter of a Baptist minister.

This entertaining play concerns a group of boarding school girls who plan to celebrate Washington’s birthday by telling nothing but the truth during the entire day. Events follow in an amusing succession and are cleared up by a confession from each of the girls, hollowing the play, the high school orchestra played several patriotic numbers. 19 3 3 I I I © t A Page 37 Senior Play The class of 1933 presented as its Senior play. “We’ve Got to Have Money, by Edward Laska. on April 6 and 7 in the high school auditorium. The blue velvet curtain, presented by the class last year, was paid for in full from the proceeds, and the new stage set, which was built by Charles Ernst and was one of the high points of the play, was given to the school. Thomas Campbell, alias David Farnum. has allowed another man to take a degree in his name and has exchanged names with him. This incenses 1 om’s guardian, who cuts off Tom's allowance and refuses to allow Olga, his daughter and I om’s sweetheart, to have anything to do with him. Necessity compels Tom. or Dave, as he is known, to invent a new business. This is a brain and genius promoting company. Many ludicrous and serious situations ensue. Dave’s roommate, a chemist, has a paint drying compound, which the company perfects, and under the company name they correspond with Walcott, the guardian, who is in the paint business. At the end Walcott is satisfied and Dave triumphs in his ventures. The cast of the play was as follows: David Farnum. Harold Hansen; 1 homas Campbell, Arnold Espey; Toney Platt, Bob Kennedy; Bob Brady, Fred Dayton; Richard Walcott, Clifford Woodley; Lucas, Orla Kendall; James Doolin and Otto Schultz, Keith Smith; Mr. Levanle, Robert Adams; Professor Brigley and Kennison, Walter Wilson; Dunn and Barber.

The play was directed by Mrs. Marcy and Miss Stiles. Senior Christmas Play The Senior Christmas play, “The Christmas Bouquet, centers around a young lady who decides that she is no longer interested in her three present admirers but in one who is to arrive that night, Christmas Eve, on the train. Her deaf aunt mixes up the cards in the flowers which her three admirers send her, and complications ensue when she attempts to show only the right bouquet as each admirer calls. She finally hurries the three admirers away, each in his turn, and the climax comes when she receives a telegram saying her visitor from out of town cannot come. The cast of the play included Wilma Copple, Avis Hostetler, Mary Fairfield, Fred Dayton, Keith Smith, and Bob Kennedy. Glee Club The school Glee Clubs were again trained under the able direction of Miss Macy. For the first outstanding event of the year they sang for the 1 eachers’ Institute, then for the P.-T. A. and Civic organizations. Later they presented the play. The American Harem,” in a ten-cent assembly. At the first of the second semester, they presented “Oh Doctor! a musical comedy. On April 28 they attended the Music Festival in Ashland, an all-day event. Schools from all over Southern Oregon and Northern California were represented at this event. The setting of “Oh Doctor is somewhere east of the Rio Grande and not far from the Mexican border, where there is a famous sanitarium and spring owned by Dr. Drinkwater, who disowned his only son because he married an actress. Drinkwater’s wife dies and leaves her money to her son's orphaned daughter. Glory, on condition that she spend the last twenty-four hours before her twenty-first birthday with her grandfather. But Glory, like her mother, is a play actress and under contract. She must keep her contract, but she wants her grandmother's money. She remembers her friend Honor, who has a sick mother, and conceives the idea of sending them to the sanitarium in her place. Her grandfather has never seen her and need never again. Honor and her mother have hardly arrived at the sanitarium when Glory learns that her fiance. Bob, has gone to the sanitarium to spend his vacation. Glory hurries to warn him of her plot. Then the trouble begins. Matters are made more complicated by the presence of Rainbow, the colored servant, Bessie, a maid, Philip, a young ranch owner, and Manuel, a Mexican rustler. But all problems are solved in the usual way. Dr. Drinkwater, John Ruttencutter: Mrs. Weakly, Virginia Blevins; Mrs. Crossly, Kathryn Hull; Dr. Slaughter.

Besides the instructive orchestra and band rehearsals, the members have received lessons in harmony. On February 17 the orchestra gave a forty-five minute concert before the Southern Oregon Normal School students at Ashland, which was immensely appreciated. A highly acclaimed concert was given March 3 in the High School Auditorium featuring the ''Martha overture and other difficult numbers. The program included a novelty number representing a Country Band, which was entertaining and amusing. On April 28 the orchestra and band went to Ashland to take part in the Music Festival. The orchestra played for the Junior and Senior plays, for Stunt Night, for the Operetta, and for Graduation; and the band played at many Student Body meetings and Athletic games. It was through Mr. Trepte's fine knowledge of music and interest in his orchestra that it has been able to produce such good music and has become so popular throughout Southern Oregon. Whenever music was needed, Mr. Trepte had a program ready and was always willing to give his time to make any performance a great success. Stunt Night In revival of a custom lost for two years, the TOKA sponsored Stunt Night, February 24. The four classes and four organizations. The Scroll, Girls' Athletic Association, Hi “G , and the Glee Club, contested for the two awards, a placard for the pennant of the class presenting the best stunt and the same for the organization. The Sophomore stunt. Giving the Men a Chance,” in which boys presented a bathing beauty contest and other short skits, was given first place for the classes. The Junior stunt, “Romance of Our Nell.” was given honorable mention. The Hi “G” stunt, Gangaroo Court.” picturing a negro court, was given the award for the best organization stunt, and the “Two Pages from the Scroll honorable mention.

Scroll Staff The Scroll this year became a Student Body publication, financed and managed by that organization as one of the benefits of the Student Body dues. The Scroll has had a busy year and has entered all fields of activity in the High School. In combination with the Publicity Manager. Frank Farmer, and the adviser. Miss Harding, it sponsored a High School Newswriting contest with a silver loving cup as prize. It entered for the second time the W. E. Finzer Company loving cup contest for the best high school paper. Members of the staff participated in the annual 1 oka benefit “Stunt Nite by portraying “Two Pages” from a Scroll. I he stories came to life when the actors broke through the pages of a huge paper Scroll. Each May the entire staff looks forward to an after-school picnic out of town. The Scroll, a non-partisan publication, has attempted to foster all activities alike, to further school spirit, to bring out worth-while student opinion, and to laud merit where due. Following a custom instigated last year, the Scroll has issued several special editions. The first number of the year welcomed the Freshmen into the Student Body. At Christmas a special holiday number came out the Friday before vacation. The F. C. A. number, the Nertzshell (special April Fool humor edition, of which Helen Schmidt was editor), the F. F. A. edition, the Girls’ League number, and the Senior number have come out this semester. An attempt has been made this year to departmentalize the Scroll, with each department editor in charge of assisting reporters. The departmental staff which functioned during the year was as follows: Editor, Mary Ellen Ingram; Assistant Editor, Louise Letcher; News Editor, Frank Farmer; Sports, Bob Kennedy; Features, Phyllis Baldwin; Humor, Helen Schmidt; Business Manager, Fred Dayton; Circulation. Arthur Hobson; Mimeographing, John McCaw; Typing. Ivan Dyer; Exchanges, LaVona Nelson; Stilus. Willard Graham. For the second year Miss Agatha Harding has given every “spare” minute as adviser to the Scroll. 19 3 3 r n t i o I A Page 41 Shearer Whitnett (leer Olts Ginn Bundy Breltmayer Mitchell Kush Dellinger Coke Stringer Toka Staff Hansen Van Dyke Hostetler Harlacher Dodson Everton This year we have gone back to the old style of portraying the events of the school year.

The class of 1924 is responsible for a good deal of the financial success of the 1933 Toka. as they contributed the remainder of their class fund to it. Our adviser this year was Mr. Ginn, with Miss Stiles added to our staff at the end of the year. Miss Stiles will be the adviser next year, as Mr. Ginn will be Athletic Coach.

Tes Trams Club The Tes Trams Club is the Home Economics Club consisting of girls who have had one year or more of Home Economics. Fhis year the club is a member of the National Home Economics Association. The girls sponsor the style show which is held every spring at the 1 ea given by the Girls' League for the mothers. The club also had a booth at the carnival which was held to raise funds for the Athletic Association. The officers are as follows; Arna Geer, President: Mary Harlacher. Vice-president ; Peggy Schmidt. Secretary; Velda Thornburg. Treasurer. The colors of the club are orchid and green. Hie motto is “As our girlhood is, so shall our womanhood be. Page 42 I H I I A_______________19 3 3 The Girls’ League The Girls’ League is an organization in which all girls become members upon entering school. Meetings are held once a month, where business or social affairs are discussed. Each year an objective is selected for which the girls work during the year. I he money earned from hot-dog sales this year was used for a new bulletin board, which aroused more interest in the League. Among the events which the League sponsored this year was the Girls' League party, held in November. The program consisted of a stunt put on by each class and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing in the upper hall. Another important event was the Mothers’ Tea, held on May 3. A style show put on by the sewing classes was part of the program. Members of the Girls’ League Council this year were: Ruth Mitchell, President; Virginia Van Dyke, Vice-president; Juanita Bell, Treasurer; Sybil Gibson. Secretary. Heads of departments; Nevalyn Harmon, Entertainment; Louise Letcher, Social Service; Mary Fairfield, Activities. Class Representatives: Thelma Stringer. Senior; La Vona Nelson, Junior; Ardes Jenkins. Sophomore; Betty Emerson, Freshman. P. T.-A. Parties The High School Parent-Teacher Association has just completed its third year of successful sponsorship of monthly High School Party-dances. In 1931 the Association voted to entertain the students once a month- the purpose being to give the students some place to go where they would be properly chaperoned. Each month a committee, composed of six or eight mothers, sponsors a Party-dance to which all parents, teachers, and students who are registered in High School are invited. The first two years these Party-dances were held in the Library Auditorium, but, because of the constantly increasing numbers attending, the committee has been forced to solicit the use of the T rumbly Hall. The P.-T. A. is due unlimited thanks from the students for its interest and unceasing efforts in making each occasion a grand success. The Association in turn fully appreciates the cooperation of the students and of John Bennett’s orchestra. 19 3 3____________________THE ¥ j ft A_______________Pace 43 Mountain Service Club The Mountain Service club was formed primarily with the idea of promoting the general welfare of the school and setting a standard which the students might well follow. An attempt is made, when adding new members to the club, to pick an equal representation of boys from the different organizations and classes of the school—boys who will in all probability serve as good members. Their help is rendered at the majority of the school functions, including plays, concerts, and all athletic contests. This year proved to be very successful under the leadership of Walden Manfull, President; Harold Hansen. Vice-president; James C°ke. Secretary; and John Shaw, Treasurer. Mr. Ginn was chosen as adviser, since it was difficult for Mr. Cramer, founder of the club, to meet with the boys. Mr. Ginn proved to be an able substitute in his cooperation with all the members. Next year is expected to be even more successful with the old members giving their best efforts to make this school an institution of which to be proud. Future Craftsmen Organization The Future Craftsmen organization consists of boys working in the Trades Class who are employed in various shops and firms of Grants Pass. 1 his organization is making rapid progress and has quite a lot to show for itself. Under the able direction of its officers. Harry Hagberg, Superintendent; Clifford Gilbert, Foreman; Vinton Rhoads, Secretary and Treasurer; and Raymond Macfarlane, Gatekeeper, the boys have had some very interesting times this past year. Activities were started last Fall with a party in the Library Auditorium. Later the boys installed the Medford Chapter of Future Craftsmen. They enjoyed a wonderful banquet prepared by Mrs. Mary Oakes McClain and her Home Economics class in the High School building. Miss Agatha Harding prepared a special edition of the Scroll about the 1 rades boys in honor of the banquet. Their last major activity was the trip to Portland to attend the I hird Annual State Convention of the Future Craftsmen. he Macfarlane boys won the Harmonica contest in the State Convention and Jack Doyle was elected Gatekeeper of the State Organization. PACE 44 III I € l A_________________1933 Torch Honor The Torch Honor Society is an organization whose purpose is the promotion of better scholarship and school service. Membership, which is determined by a point system, is earned by maintaining a high scholastic standing. The society has steadily increased in membership to sixty-five at the present time. During the past year the society has held two initiation ceremonies and a picnic hike to Jones Creek in the spring. A book exchange was held in September and February, and the play, The Heathen Chinee, was presented at a ten-cent assembly. The proceeds were used to purchase Torch pins for the graduating Seniors who had earned 1 10 points. The officers elected for the year were: Mary Treadgold, President: June Rose Tingley. Vice-president: Louise Letcher, Secretary-treasurer. After the death in January of Mary Treadgold, whose loss is very keenly felt by the organization, Leland Park-hurst was elected President. Much of the success of the organization has been due to the faithful leadership of Miss Dunn, who has been adviser of the group for three years. Archery Club In the year of 1930 an archery club was organized under the supervision of Mr. Coke. More interest has been created in the last two years. The club has enrolled more members, bought a new target face, and improved the shooting range in general. More pupils would have enjoyed the sport if they had had the funds to buy the equipment. Those most active in the club were Seward Webster, Mary Webster, Avis Hostetler, Ethel Turner, and Elmer Macfarlane. 19 3 3 T_nr I I A________________________Page 4 5 Hi G The Hi G strives to create interest in athletics and school activities through an enthusiastic school spirit. The organization started in 1927 and consisted of both boys and girls; in 1928 the group was reorganized into a boys’ organizationn.

Santa Claus Club Last year a club was formed to give a happy Christmas to the little kiddies of the town who were not fortunate enough to be visited by Old Santa. This club came to be known as the Santa Claus Club and was again formed this last Christmas. Florence Dellinger was elected President; Ray Green, Vice-president; and Martha McShane. Secretary. Miss Doerner offered her assistance as adviser, and Mr. Carpenter helped the boys make over the old toys. The girls made over dolls and dressed them and they spent some time making pop-corn balls and candy to give with the toys. All materials were furnished by the students and faculty. Milledge and Ward well again gave them the use of their truck and driver, Carl Boesch. who made an excellent Santa. Miss Macy. in the absence of Miss Doerner, accompanied the small group who distributed their gifts on Christmas Eve. The club members wish to take this opportunity of thanking all who helped to make this club a success.
