Senior History The largest class in the history of Grants Pass high school has completed the last of its four years and made its final departure leaving behind it many prosperous and successful undertakings. The class was guided by its capable and faithful leader, Bob Jackson as president; Billy Lonigan, vice-president; Wanda Miliedge, secretary; Fred Osborne, treasurer; Bob Heath, Student Council representative. The seniors have taken an important role throughout the year in all school activities. The debating team had one senior, Billy Bromley, who has helped Grants Pass to win two championships. The class of '36 was well represented in the Torch Honor society and had Marjorie Talbot as president. In journalistic activities the seniors took the lead. The Toka was managed by Douglas Mitchell and edited by Roberta Borland. The Scroll was edited by Lois Layman, first semester, and Bob Heath, second semester. The first social event was the senior reception given for the freshmen. This took place October 18. A clever program of musical numbers and dancing was given in the auditorium after which signing of books and dancing were enjoyed in the gym. Next was the annual Christmas program given December 20. This was new and original— Animated Dolls,” a dramatization of Santa Claus and his bag of toys and dolls. Some of the characters were played by the following: Bob Jackson, Roberta Borland, Clyde Everton, Wanda Miliedge. Betty Emerson, Floradale Campbell, Billy Bromley, Margaret Thies, Jeanette Turner, Life Edson, Fred Nelson, Kay Knox, and Eleanore McQuity. The Southern Oregon District contest of F.F.A. held here March 27 and 28 was of marked importance for our high school. DeWayne Dahl received first prize for public speaking and tool and hardware identification; Rolland Holmes, first prize for rafter cutting; Cecil Johnson, president, first prize for parliamentary procedure and rope work. Senior Dress-up Day” on March 27 was a great treat for everyone. Marion Loughridge as Emperor Haile Selassie,” Billy Bromley as “Harpo Marx,” Earl Meeker as “Robinson Crusoe, “The Swigart Twins, “Topsy,” Captain of the Pirate Crew,” and Lady from a Turkish Harem” were humorous characters worthy of mention. The athletic department will be handicapped by the departure of men like Holloway, Lanning, Winkelman, Burden, Stokes. Coffenberry, Havard, Edson, and Jackson, who will leave positions that will be hard to fill. The Senior class was active in the Toka drive and won the inter-class contest with 99 per cent buying year books. Bob Jackson and Douglas Mitchell assumed responsibility for the Senior Prophecy and Betty Emerson and Wanda Miliedge for the Class Will. Clyde Everton won a scholarship to the University of Oregon. Because their four years grade averages were exactly the same, Billy Bromley and Clyde Everton shared the honor of being Valedictorian. Genevieve Treadgold was third in scholastic record for the four years. Jackson Lonigan Osborne Miliedge Heath Quinlan II
