Because of the addition of the seventh and eighth graders to the student body, it was deemed necessary for two separate student councils to be formed. The lower student council consists of the second vice- president, Bill Davis, and representatives from the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, and from the organizations which meet the requirements specified in the Constitution. Also, there is the upper student council, which is headed by the first vice-president, Lawrence Rhoadsg the sec- retary, Alice Cox, and representatives from the tenth, eleventh, and the twelfth grades, and their organizations which also must meet the re- quired specifications. The executive board this year was unusually active. It is indisput- edly the most important executive group in the school, for it is by their final decision that the fate of any project is determined. Affiliated with this group were their advisers, Miss Matthews, Mr. Carpenter, and Mr. Keith, with whose guidance and advice the group was enabled to make definite progress towards their goal. A new feature of the executive group was the creation of com- mittees which performed most of the necessary duties. The chairman of these committees were taken from the excutive board. and the other members were selected from the student body at large, The chairmen and members of these committees are: assembly committee, Warren Thomas chairman, Emma Gene l-loffmaster, john Stott, athletic com- mittee, Harold Bormuth chairman, Royal Mooers, janet Rossg forensic committee, Edward Hoffmaster chairman, Howard Dauntless, Beverly Driggsg home room committee, Aldine Ownbey, chairman, Niel Allen, Elaine Calhoun, social improvement committee, Alan Riebel chair- man, Marian Campbell, Edgar johnson, publication committee, Ed- ward Hoffmaster chairman, Eula Dee Trimble, joan Roberts, honorary committee, Dick Espey chairman, Nell Carpenter, Jeannette Stover, music committee, Ray Clayton chairman. Loree Macfarlane. Emmett Carolang club committee, Bill Davis chairman, Alma johnson, Fred Treadgoldg dramatic committee, Ilene McClellan chairman, Dick Krenelt, and Betty Blanchard. ,..a,z:.,.un., amy, WMM GW-'fwwf GW11 .Bama .L'e9ulaiiae Bolq - f Q5 565525 fix , , ' ,Z Z M ' , 'A X ffii X 5 if !

' Elma ' fameh At the first senior class meeting the election of Warren Thomas as class president was almost unanimous. Those elected to help him were Alice Cox, vice-president, Alma Johnson, secretary, Bever- ly Goetz, treasurer, and Bud Pruess to represent the class at all Student Council meetings. The class of 1940 has been consistently active through four of Grants Pass Highs most progres- sive years. During their freshman year, the students elected Bud Pruess as president, Dick Espey, vice- Ownbey, secretaryg Warren president, Aldine Thomas, treasurerg and Earl Hall, student council representative. As sophomores they elected Dick Espey as presidentg Frances Cook and later Hollis- ter Peake as vice-president, Betty McAdam. secre- tary, Dale Fuller, treasurerg and Florence McCul- lough, student council representative. The junior NHQWN TT? in 'is yin 2 f M .fi XVarren Thomas, President officers elected were john Stott, president, Warren Thomas, vice-president, Helen Morgan, secretary, Beverly Goetz, sergeant-at-arms, and Alice Cox, student council representative. The traditional Senior Reception, given in honor of the incoming freshmen, was necessarily eliminated this year because of the new six year high school. However, the senior class gave a Senior Ball, to which the three upper classes were invited. Aldine Ownbey and Hollister Peake reigned as queen and king at the annual school carnival. Among other activities, the seniors presented a vaudeville in order to raise funds, they sponsored the annual senior dress-up day, the senior class play, class night, the Christmas program, and they were guests at baccaulaureate and and the senior banquet.

Operating the presidents gavel this year was Harold Bormuth, better known to fellow students as Curly . Working with him were such capable officers as George Grable, vice-president, Marian Campbell, secretary, Allan Coutant, treasurer, and Verol Amens as student council representative. Activities of the class included the annual Thanks- giving program which was a melodrama, choosing class rings, sponsoring the junior Prom, and participation in the annual flunk day at Jackson Hot Springs. The triumph of the year came, however, in the presentation of the junior class play- The Thirteenth Chair. Many juniors stand scholastically high in school, since a number belong to Torch Honor. They are out- standing in all school activities and are well represented in the various clubs in school. This year's typical Grants Pass High School girl, Marian Campbell, was selected from this class. At the annual school carnival. they supported to the best of their ability, their nominees for king and queen, Clinton Holcomb and Fern johnson. The class was under the guidance of three faculty members who acted as advisers, including Miss Dorothea Wilkens, Mr. Dale Ginn, and Mr. George Hibbard. As entering freshmen, the class elected Billy Davis as presidentg Ann Hood, vice-president, Marian Campbell, secretaryg Harold Bormuth, treasurer, and Donald Martin, student council representative. i JUNIORS lst Row: ll.

WM Presiding at the sophomore meetings this year has been Edward Hoffmuster, who has proven himself capa- ble in the class's undertakings and who has made a very com- petent president. Helping him this year were Dan Beyer, vice-presidentg Gladys Goodwin, in the combined office of secretary-treasurer, and Herschel Cox. student council re- presentative. The Junior-Sophomore dance was the first of their un- dertakings. Adding to their list of successful accomplish- ments was their participation in the carnival, and the active interest taken in supporting their king and queen nominees, Lois Leonardo and Brendon Gill. As a whole the sophomores have supported their teams and backed the school with much enthusiasm. Each year students are advised to enter into activities, join clubs, and become an important part of the school. Most of them have done this, and many have displayed superior ability. Members of this class have comprised a large portion of the membership of nearly every club in the school, showing the interest they take in school activities. From this class was selected the high schools typical boy. Bob Havard. During this year the class has added a sizable sum to their treasury, has joined in all school activities, has worked to promote a full schedule of student activities, and has dis- played a great deal of responsibility and leadership. Truly, this class established a record of which all its members can be rightfully proud. Last year's officers were as follows: Bob Havard, pres- identg Gene Farthing, vice-presidentg David Pruess, secre- tary-treasurer, and Carroll Young, student council repre- sentative.

An efficient group of officers was elected to guide the class throughout the year. Besides Ray Clayton as president, other officers included vice-president, Chester Lathrop, secretary, Louise Schiefersteing and student council representative, Niel Allen. This year a pluclcy freshman football team was devel- Ray ciaytmi, Presifiem. oped by Coach Otis Wilson. The lower classmen gave ex- cellent support to the team and were very cooperative with the freshman yell leader, Freddie Love, and with the eighth grade yell leader, Ilene McClellan. Not only in the upper classes was there participation in activities, but also in the freshman class the various organ- izations of the school found a large following. On October 27 the freshmen gave a party to which only members of that class or their guests were invited. The party was carried out in the Halloween theme, and during the evening the students danced and played games. This year because of the set-up of the new six year plan, the freshmen, rather than suffering under the superiority of the upper classmen, are able to command respect and atren- tion from the seventh and eighth grade classmen. In order to raise money to finance the projects under- taken by the class, dues were charged each member. During the annual school carnival an active interest was taken by each freshman. The nominees for carnival king and queen were Cornelia Strowbridge and Dick Skow. The freshmen built the traditional bonfire for the rally, which was set off on the night of the Medford- Grants Pass football game. .hug I.. DQVYI5' FRESHMEN 151 RUW1 NTUFIIHY.

Ilene McClellan was elected as presi- dentg Don Furchner as vice-presidentg Gaylord Smith, sec- retary, James Stott, treasurer, and Donna Wilbank, student council representative. Not to be outdone by the other classes these students are well represented in all school activities and are enthus- iastic participants in all school events. The rooting section of the eighth grade apparently is more lively and makes more noise than the three upper classes. The eighth grade entered enthusiastically into the an- nual school carnival. The nominees supported by this class for the kingship and queenship were Ilene McClellan and Merwin Spalding. The eighth grade won the fourth prize as a result of their skit, Ferdinand the Bull, in the program given at the carnival. Cinderella Rose , given on December 14, featured sev- eral eighth graders who had prominent roles in this play. They were Beverly Ownbey, who played Alayneg LaRene Thompson, who was cast as Cassie Higgins, and Howard Lowell, who was a messenger boy. In the eighth grade there have been found quite a bit of talent and promising leadership. This leads us to believe that in another two years these eighth graders should have set a record that will equal, if not surpass, any set by the classes prior to theirs.

T The seventh graders started this year with a great deal of enthusiasm. This spirited attitude was maintained throughout the school year and was reflected by the way in which the seventh graders supported the annual school carnival. Their number was in the form of a square dance. The class elected Alan Riebel as president, Harold Popkin as vice-presidentg Loyd Huston, secretary-treasurer, and jim McClellan, student body representative. On january ll the members of the seventh grade class were entertained at a class party. , The seventh graders who took part in the lower divi- sicn play were Robert Drake, who was cast as Hiram Hig- gins, the uncle with the weak back, Billie Draper, who played Angelina Hobbs, the brat next door, Betty Lue Wyatt, who portrayed Mrs. Hobbs, a long-suffering mother, Jean Ann Turnquist, who is Genevieve Svenson, and Dick Flickinger, who acted as Sammy Simms. The title of this play was Cinderella Rose, which was presented on December 14. Because of the variation in ages, it has been necessary to split the activities into groups, In the group activities and in the activities as a whole, the seventh graders have been hearty workers and very cooperative. Due to the new six year high school plan, the initiation of the seventh graders was dispensed with this year. However, the Exe- cutive Board decided that the seventh graders will be initia- ted when they become sophomores. Although the class has not been with the high school long enough to establish themselves as definite leaders of the school, they have shown their ability and self-confidence, with good promise of becoming prominent in the school affairs. ,Q Gu Q .4 ' 5 Q 'dmv I SEVENTH GRADE lst Row: Hussey, Haynes, Mr-Carle-y, Moffitt, Heriford, Honey, Hagar, Mviile-ary, S.

Mrs. Aldrich, his mother, lCora Prenticej promises to give him the money if he gets the highest grade in class on his history exam. Being desperate, Henry copies from George Bigelow's CSherman Oltsp paper, but the dishon- esty is detected and he is expelled from school for sixty days. The school band instruments mysteriously disappear, and a search for them leads to a pawn shop, where they are found registered under Henry's name. After much questioning and investigating George Bigelow is found gxilty. All ends well when Henry is transferred to an art school and succeeds in obtaining two tickets for the dance.

They were very ably directed by Miss Quinlan, Dean of Girls. The major project of the Girls' League this year was to equip the stage of the new gymnasium. In order to raise money for this project they financed the sale of candy and hot dogs at games and of automobile stickers. Also, this year the Girls' League combined with the Order of the G in sponsoring a magazine subscription sale for the purpose of obtaining an electrically controlled bas- ketball scoring board. The Upper Girls' League revived the practice of adopting little sisters and helped them to get acquainted. They entertained them at a party in October. Hello Week was jointly sponsored with the Order of the G to help students get better acquainted. Once again Girls' League Week was held, with girls taking over honors such as dating, escorting, and treating the boys. The girls' mothers were entertained at an annual tea in the spring.

Under the leadership of Miss Quinlan, who is Dean of Girls, Freddie Love, presi- dent, did an excellent job of managing the organization, assisted by Ilene McClellan, vice-presidentg Sarah Meeker, secretaryg Betty Sheldon, treasurerg Wanda Reid, social ser- vice chairman. The girls were helped through many difficulties by their big Sisters, who gave a party for them at which they were properly initiated. In February they sponsored a dance for the lower classes. The Lower Girls' League joined the Upper Girls' League in selling candy, hot dogs, and automobile stickers in order to help equip the stage in the new gymnasium. They also put forth their best efforts to make magazine subscription sales for the electric basketball scoreboard a success. The Lower Girls' League had a new experience this spring during Girls' League Week when they had the chance to ask boys for dates. The Girls' League Week included shows, skating parties, a dance, and other activities. The girls' mothers were entertained by the girls with a style show, followed by refreshments at the annual Mothers' Tea. As an organization the Lower Girls' League has con- tributed much to the school spirit of the Grants Pass High School. 7' Tr J ' ' OO glee ew R. Cloyd Riffe, the Glee club instructor, has striven for a different goal, a new high in voice work this last year. Daily practice schedules must be recorded, individ- ual voices heard, and competitive selection undergone in order to enter small groups, especially the a Capella or- ganization. Many more girls' trios have developed as well as several boys' quartettes, plus the usual girls' sextette and boys' octette. The officers of the Boys' Glee club for the year were: president, Alma johnson, vice-president, Jeri McNeeley, secretary-treasurer, Peggy Leonard, librarian, Wanda john- son, and student council representative, Pollyanna Allen. The officers of the Boys' Glee club for the year were: president, john Schiefersteing vice-president, Bob Pruitt, secretary-treasurer, Clinton Holcomb, librarian, Michael Carolan, and student council representative, Don Sullivan. Some of the high lights for the year have been the Lawrence Welke concert on December 10, 19399 the P.-T. A. program, the Womens club Christmas program, the opera-H. M. S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan, and the music festivals. The a cappella group attended the St. Olaf Choir concert on january 31 at the Pelican theater in Klamath Falls, Oregon. It was a concert that challenged the best. The girls' trio was composed of Loree Macfarlane, Wanda johnson, and Peggy Leonard. The boys' quar- tette consisted of Michael Carolan, Emmett Carolan, Roy jones, and Thomas jones. The mixed quartette was made up of the following students: Michael Carolan, Harriet johnson, Peggy Leonard, and Thomas jones. Glee club letters are given on the following points: ninety per cent attendance, two public performances a year, promoting better music in the school and the community, an average of 3, and a better appreciation of the classical music. Above, the boys' quartetteg below, Clinton Holcomb and Michael lfarolan in a svene from the open-tta. 0 The sixty-four members of this year's orchestra and band had a very successful year under the leadership of Mar- tin Trepte who has studied music in Germany and has since studied in other countries, taught music, and played profes- sionally. In the United States he conducted various orches- tras and in 1926 came to Grants Pass where he organized a school orchestra of 7 members. In the spring of 1927 this membership had increased to 22 and every year since has seen a decided increase in members. The orchestra is principally an outdoor organization la in for assembl ro rams. Durin the ear several mem- Y S YP 8 n 8 Y bers were iven the o rtunit to conduct the orchestra for -8 PP? Y the experience and training it offered. The band, which has 48 members, played in the course of such outdoor sports as football. Their activities, how- ever, were not confined to the outside as they played for bas- ketball games and several assembly programs. During the year a brass quartet and several outstanding soloists were featured in programs for the student body. Some of the major activities which the orchestra partic- ipated in were: the presentation of their annual concert on March lg the district high school contest for orchestra and band on April 12-15, music festival at Ashland, the reg- ional high school competition at Spokane, Washington. Officers for the year were: George Flint, student body representative, Gene Clark, manager, and Ted Theodoroff, ticket manager. -'DQ -O -wa ' a 409 du 'T i sv lst liow: llaphnt- Matthews. .Ie-anne-tte Melluire.

To symbolize school life the school has. for the first time, chosen a typical boy and girl. A page has been devoted to both Marian Campbell and Bob Havard. who were elected by the votes of students who had purchased Tokas. Due to the addition of the junior High this year, there are five class pictures, each of which has been divided into three groups. The students are individually identified under all of the class pictures. During the beginning of the new year, the Toka staff entertained the student body with an assembly. Daisy Mae, played by Lucille Edwards, and Lil' Abner, portrayed by .lack Lynn, interviewed the staff members in order to un- derstand what their duties were. Featured this year were informal candid shots of the faculty. For the first time in several years. the members of the school board were included in the annual.

Patricia McFadden, June Alger, Niel Allen. and Fred Treadgold, reportersg Shirley Thompson, typist, and Daphne Matthews, adviser. Last years Toka. with Lila Mae Furchner as editor, was graded by the National Scholastic Press Association at the University of Minnesota. which judges the yearbooks of high schools and colleges all over the nation.

'Small After several mimeographed issues had been publish- ed last fall, the three column mimeographed weekly Scroll developed into a four column printed bimonthly paper. The present paper is financed jointly by Student Body funds and money received from advertisements of local merchants. This year the advertising staff was able to sell sufficient space to pay for more than half of the cost of the paper. Courier facilities now available that make the paper more interesting. readable, and enjoyable, include the use of pictures, cuts, and printing. Besides making the paper more easily read, the new method of publication enables students interested in such work to get actual experience in a newspaper office and print shop. Most of the Scroll assignments are ably handled by the journalism class under the editorship of Betty jo Hooper. Other members of the staff include: joan Rob- erts, Associate Editorg Bob McClellan, Business Managerg and Dick Thompson, Assistant Business Manager. For the third consecutive year representatives of the Scroll attended the State Press Conference held at Eugene, during the first part of October. Those attending last fall were Betty jo Hooper, Bob McClellan, john Pierce, and Vernon Trimble. adviser. The editors and managers of all school papers of Oregon are invited to this convention, where they have the opportunity to hear authorities speak on topics of general interest to the high school journalists and to discuss among themselves problems common to the high school paper. During the second semester the paper was enlarged to five columns in width and to a corresponding length of page size. V1 Twenty new members and thirty former members were enrolled in this years group of Future Farmers of America. Five of these members represented Grants Pass in the State Dairy judging contest, which was held by the Pacific International Livestock Show at Portland last October. The group participated in many other activities during the course of the year, some of which were the Southern Oregon Parliamentary and Public Speaking contest which was held in Grants Pass, and the annual Father and Son banquet given for all members and their fathers. Most of this year's officers and those elected for next year attended the state F. F. A. convention at Corvallis, that was held during the first week in April. Together with the Home Making club they sponsored .1 school dance, and with the Order of the G they spon- sored a smoker. Walter Crouse, Emmett Meade, Bob Ford and Frank Price entered prize winning exhibits of livestock in the Josephine county fair. Grants Pass was represented by Bob Borland, Bob Ford, Shirley Palmer, james Cotter, Charles Lathrop, and Walter Harris at the San, Francisco World's fair, going there on a special F. F. A. train from Oregon. During their stay these boys put on evening programs before local Granges and other civic organizations. Besides taking part in these events the F. F. A. boys did such important jobs as surveying the new high school grounds and building all the booths for the carnival. Officers presiding over these accomplishments were: president, Walter Crouse: vice-president, Roy Hillg secre- tary, Charles Lathropg treasurer, jerry Stone, reporter, Em- mett Meade, and watch dog, Bud Pruess. ff Q- Above, Roy Hill.

The team continued working until school was out and then went to the national debate in Beverly Hills, California in june, where they won on a basis of 4 out of 5. This year the first team for the conference debates was composed of VanD Donaldson and Dick Eismann on the negative and Earl Ladd and Charles Roberts on the affirmative. The second team is made up of janet Ross and Charles Roberts on the negative and Dan Beyer and Alice Cox on the affirmative. To start the season the debaters went to San Francisco to the state college tournament in November, 1939. The next trip was to Linfield college in February, 1940. Later the debaters went to eastern Oregon, where they won all of the eleven debates. In the last of February the confer- ence debates were held in which jacksonville, Medford, and Grants Pass participated. Grants Pass won, making the fourth time in six years for the Grants Pass high school team to win. The debate question for the team this year was: Re- solved That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railroads. G, Howard Barrett is the coach. Lower division debate is composed of freshmen and purposes to give practice to the students for the future when they will be in the upper division debate. Debates were held with Medford and Ashland on April seventeenth and eighteenth.

Sedan, The purpose of the Torch Honor is to promote good scholarship, service, and citizenship. During the ten years of the club's existence it has been outstanding in service. Before text books were pur- chased by the school district, the Torch Honor Society con- ducted a book exchange at the beginning of each semester. For the last two years its main service was taking charge of ushering at all evening entertainments. Five one-act plays have been put on for the general assemblies, and each year the club has had a booth at the school carnival, and put on a stunt for the carnival program. The club has been well represented in class, club, and school officesg in school playsg in Glee club and orchestrag in debateg and in athletic teams. For the last year, two student body officers were Torch Honor membersg two of the Senior Class officers, all officers except one of the Girls' League, two on the football team, and the center on the basketball team were also members of Torch Honor. In the clubs infancy its meeting were noon luncheons held in the domestic science room. For the last few years meetings were held during the activity period once a month. The Society has an initiation party in the fall, and sometimes a second party during the second semester. Each member has the privilege of bringing a guest to all parties. The club has as its leaders this year: president, Ted Breitmayerg vice-president, Dick Espeyg secretary-treasurer, Nancy Brownellg student council representative, Bob Hav- ard, and advisers, Miss A. Claire Dunn and Miss Nina johnson. aqame Mahan The objectives of the Home Making club are three- fold: the development of personality, leadership, and ini- tiative, the understanding of values and responsibilities, and training and experiences in social duties and privileges. Some of the outstanding activities of the club were the presentation of initiation and candlelight service, ini- tiation of the new girls into the club, and the recognition of presidents of the Women's club, College club, and Busi- ness and Professional VUomen's club, who were made hon- orary members. To observe the spirit of Christmas the club prepared a Christmas box, including food and gifts, for a needy family. In addition, a Christmas party was given for the members. A candlelight initiation service was held in which the following spirits of home living took part: the spirit of the home, Marguerite Miller, charm, Phyllis Hussey, co- operation, Virginia Couch, dependability, Gwendolyn Gig- ler, and health, Kathleen Hambly. An informal dance was given in March, sponsored jointly by the Home Making club and Future Farmers of America. All students and alumni were invited. The Home Making club sponsored the P.-T. A. lunch- eon at the fall school of instruction for the county mem- bers. An eighth grade auxiliary club was organized during the past year under the direction of two of the members of the parent club, Henrietta Tussey and Florence Ellis. Miss Zelma M. Parker is the adviser and originator of the club. The officers are: president, Betty Peake, vice- president, Betty Bolingg secretary, Gladys Goodwin, trea- surer, Adelia Swisher, historian, Velma Simpson, custodian, Florence Ellis, reporter, Ruby Holloway, song leader, Alma johnson, and pianist, Wanda johnson. 3 ,G JB as Above. ex-prexy Phyliss Keith and Presi dent Betty Peake sew on a dressg below, of fieers and spirits of the initiation team.

The actual work was planned and carried out by the more capable and vitally interested members of the organization and was un- der the supervision of Lenn Pierson, the faculty adviser. Those on the telescope committee were Charles Hussey, Lawrence Rhoads, and Jeanette Stover, The club also purchased a spectroscope, which is an apparatus to be used for the breaking up and analysis of light rays. This was presented to the science department of the high school at the end of the year. An excursion to the House of Mystery, Sardine Creek, and to the Beaver Portland Cement Co. plant at Gold Hill, was arranged for the group by the field scout. Witli the permission of the Houses guide, the students tried out var- ious experiments with their own instruments. Convinced that the mystery was merely an optical illusion, they pro- ceeded to the cement factory where they were shown about by one of the employees. In order to promote the activities and projects of the club, members sold candy in the main hall during the noon hour. The chemical Magic show at the annual carnival enabled the club to further finance their undertakings, which included building the telescope, purchasing the spec- troscope, going on field trips, giving a party for the new members, and obtaining club pins. The club's officers were: Ted Breitmayer, president, Beverly Goetz, vice-president, Doris Probst, secretary-trea- surerg Sherman Olts, student council representative, Charles Pixley, field scout, and Lenn Pierson, faculty adviser. Hume 48 oo, 14cZau0 ' Newly formed this year, the Drama Club has taken an active part in school activities, mainly by giving assemb- ly and noon productions. The noon hour plays were given in order to raise money to buy equipment to carry on their work. The purpose of the Drama club is not only to extend an opportunity to those interested in dramatics, but also to give the experience necessary in producing a play. The production of plays, including everything from writing the plays to the actual presentation, is handled exclusively by the members of the club. Those who were elected to direct the club's activities are: June Alger, president, Rodger Dunn, vice-president, Dorothy Stelzenmueller, secretary, Carol Gibson, student council representative, Sterling Brubaker, treasurer, and Ed Martin, sergeant-of-arms. Separate units were organized with their respective chairmen responsible to the president. Various departments and heads include: make-up, Lucille Fairfieldg play writing, Eleanor Anderson, stage managers, Bob Skow and Virginia Millerg and publicity, Edgar Johnson. The members of the Drama Club participated in the annual school carnival with the presentation of the Perkins Twins. Throughout the year other programs were given under the student direction of Verol Amens, Katherine Moyer, Charles Roberts, Charles Pixley, Joan Roberts, Mar- jorie Vannice, lris Roberts, jack Gordon, Sherman Olts, and Pollyanna Allen. The climax of the year was reached with an inaugura- tion party held in honor of the incoming officers. Special appreciation was expressed for the guidance of the advisers, who are Nina johnson, Doreen Boice, Vernon Trimble, and Robert Yeo.

This club was formed for the benefit of the library and those who care to use itg the membership is not limited to those working in the library but extends to all those interested in this type of work. The girls are taught the principles of library work by Miss Elizabeth Schieferstein. By library work is meant checking in and out of books, filing and typing of library cards, shelving of the fiction and the non-fiction library books, and the suggestions to the boys and girls of good books that they might be interested in reading or books that might be reported on in their English or history classes. The club has sold popcorn at basketball games and has conducted candy sales at various times to raise money for library materials such as book ends, Toka pictures, pins, and parties for the club. The girls have purchased attrac- tive pins showing that they belong to the club. The work these girls do is carried on in the old library as well as in the new. The books, both fiction and non-fiction, have been divided, and the books suitable for the lower division of the high school have been put in the old library for the use and enjoyment of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. This arrangement has worked out better for both students and teachers. The girls have found that, under the leadership of Miss Schieferstein, their club and library work has been both enjoyable and beneficial. ,D ,Q 0 Glad At present Miss Sarah Parr is faculty adviser, and Mr. C. A. McMurdo has direct charge of the two Camera clubs. The girls' club is composed of thirteen members, and the boys' club of eight members. The officers are Mary Rubins, president: Renita Nunn, vice-president, Gloria Gebers, sec- retary-treasurer, and Virginia liestul, student council repre- sentative. One of the major interests of the club is to learn to take better pictures. llach student learns to load and oper- ate his own camera under various conditions, to take day- time snapshots, pictures in the shade, indoors, and at night, to develop and print their own pictures, and to tint and enlarge pictures. Every year members of the Class make their own individual Christmas cards. ln connection with these activities there are occasional field trips to provide material for taking nature pictures. Night classes are held to give special training for the pic- tures taken at this time. Most members get the camera bug and carry on this hobby for their own pleasure long after they leave the class. lt is then that they are particularly grateful for what they have learned about home-made equipment, since photo- graphic equipment is always expensive. However, this still provides business for professional photographers, not only in films sold but in the increasing demand for better cameras. The enjoyment that comes from making really good pictures and being able to perform acts out of the ordinary is heightened as time goes on. This may lead to profes- sional work, as in the case of one camera club boy, Bob Hambly, who is now working for the Grants Pass Daily Courier. ne. .han Siillt-r t'iilztt'ges za Ibl4'll1I'Q'1 be I-ru, .laiwk Ili-oxviit-ll develops several prints Yi' 'e immense ....- 7.

I9 X9 The purpose of the Pep Club is to promote a better school spirit and to furnish entertainment in pep assemb- lies. This year sixty-five girls belong to this high stand- ard club. Miss Pursley is the adviser. The officers are Frances Edwards, presidentg Clara Harrah, vice-presidentg Elaine Calhoun, secretary-treasurerg and Eula Dee Trimble, student council representative. This club is composed of girls only and furnishes the cheering section at games. The members of the club wear blue skirts and white blouses, making a fine appearance at the school's athletic functions. Last year new members were accepted in the Pep Club upon the recommendation of the teachers. However, this year a committee secured the names of the girls desiring to join the Pep Club. Those named were brought up before the old club members, who voted for those girls they be- lieved would make good members. In the first semester of this year the Pep Club sold blue and white pennants, ties. and caps in the hall during noon hour. This year the Pep Club sponsored a contest, in which any student was eligible, for new yells and songs to give at the games. Awards were given the following students submitting the best ones: Bob Rudd was given first prize for yells and Doris Lynn the second prizeg Doris Terry was given first prize for her song, Jean Perry second, and Mar- jorie Fall third prize The members of this club have proved themselves an integral part of the school and indispensable to the Cave- man team. nh' fam GMA The Girls' Letter club is an honorary athletic or- ganization for the girls in the school who receive their activity letter for participating in any of the three girls' sports, volleyball. softball. and tennis. To earn a letter a girl must participate in all games of one sport, or a combination of two. and must receive the recommen- dation of the coach. The purpose of the club is to create a better sense of good sportsmanship and to improve the essentials for good citizenship by athletic competition with other teams. Since no definite project had been decided upon, the girls proved themselves useful by giving aid to other school activities, such as planning Field Day, an event at which girls from Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass high schools participated. The girls were given their choice of entering various sports and were afterwards en- tertained by an assembly in the new gym and were served with refreshments. A new kind of letter was introduced by this years' group. It was a white six-inch black G upon a blue back- ground. The members of the club were also joint sponsors with the Order of the G for a student assembly program and for the annual Olympic dance. The funds for the promotion of the clubs business were derived from its concession at the carnival and from the smoker, which was put on by the Order of the G for the benefit of the girls. The club was directed by Betta Harris, presidentg Doris Probst. vice-presidentg Marie Darneille, secretary-treasurerg Connie johnson. student council representative, and Louise Pursley, faculty adviser.

The club's goal is to promote initiative and to arouse a cooperative spirit between the boys and girls in both a social and a business way. Their projects included numerous outstanding social events, such as Hello Week, which was carried out with the assistance of the Girls' League. During this week all of the students were expected to speak to each other in or- der to become better acquainted. The F. C. A. and Order of the G jointly sponsored the dances following the Med- ford and Ashland games. Among other dances provided by them was the second annual Olympic dance, sponsored with the Girls' Letter club, and the formal initiation dance which was held in the spring. The club was also first in contributing to the stage equipment fund and to the fund for the swimming pool. Mention should be made in recog- nition of the club's staunch backing of Color Week, dur- ing which time the club members sold caps, ties, and pen- nants which were in the school colors. Another activity sponsored by them was the smoker, the proceeds of which were for the benefit of the Girls' Letter club. At a special assembly, the students were instructed in basketball rules and regulations by the coach, George Hibbard. The club was under the guidance of Royal Mooers, president, Dick Espey, vice-president, jimmy Mitchell, sec- retary-treasurerg Bill Davis, student council representative, john Stott, good will ambassador, and Loren Tuttle, faculty adviser. tl ll g '.., ' 'ink .':C g A vs Q- ps' 4. -Q-X. . -.-L i I l The purpose of the ticket squad is to sell and faculty adviser.

Members of this club are chosen with the following qualifications in mind: Christian ideals, respect and confidence of faculty and student bodyg scholarship standing, willingness to work, and striving towards physical efficiency. To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose about which the club functions. Activities during the year included: sponsorship of a dance which followed the Ashland versus Grants Pass bas- ketball gameg an annual auction, and the presentation of two assembly programs, both of which centered about the initiation of new members. A lower division Hi-Y was organized this year with james H. Keith as its adviser. Some of the projects which were carried out during the year were: a church attendance by the whole clubg a ping- pong tournament. visiting and helping start Hi-Y clubs in Medford and Ashlandg the formation of a Dads clubg an older brother program for younger problem boysg escort- ing their mothers to church, and sponsoring an annual tag day.

' fb 9 During the construction of the new gym many improvements were made over the one at our dis- posal last year, such as a greater seating capacity and the elimination of uprights which formerly obstruct- ed the spectators view. The gym floor, being maple. is undisputedly superior to the one in the old gym and has the advantage of reflecting light instead of absorbing it. The difference in length is only a mat- ter of a few feet, but the width is such that it allows for twice as many individuals to participate in activi- ties at the same time. For the practicing of such sports as tumbling and boxing, there is also the added space provided by the stage. The dressing rooms were also modernized. Al- though not noticeably larger, they were arranged so that an illusion of roominess was given. Proper ven- tilation and lighting. both natural and artificial. were also adequately installed.

They marched into battle for their opener on October 7, and emerged victorious over a plucky but outweighed Ashland elev- en, 19 to 0. A week later they again dunked Ashland's junior High, this time by thirteen points. The Frosh bed of roses turned to thorns at Medford, six days afterwards, when the junior Tigers thumped Grants Pass 18 to 6. Coach Otis Wilson revamped the team, and three weeks later, on the night of November 10, a much improved Frosh crew took the field again. After a hard-fought battle, Med- ford's forces, aided by many breaks, triumphed 15 to 0. 1-'H l-ISHB USN WINNING XUMERALS Billy Andrews Nik-l Allen Ray Vlayton Dave Coutanv. .Iuhn Gray liivhurd Grimm .Irihn Hutldleston urvill Horton .lurk Lynn Vhester Lathrop .luvk Laubavh Eugene Smith Ralph Van Blerieoin Jerry Edwards Bill Smith George Fretleen Kenneth Knox Clinton Logan Lewis Dungey Harry Fuller Calvin Bryan lhmald Clark Robert Notley Dave Carre-ll Robert Dauntless Dirk Skow Lowell Roberts Billy Davis Sam Black lmurzlas Brown N .J 553 in-ist ,fi t the mids o ix N mxn or the fie lhe lro-sh tmnunter the Varsitx eir nr ul' Imlatvirl Flark He-rnarrl Clayton Bill Davis .lack Gabehart Don Hill Don Martin - Royal Mooers Don Moyer - XVarren Thomas Fred Trearlgolrl George E. l-Irivkson, Hernzirrl Ulziyton. lPonA1lr1,MzArIin, Leland Clark. lion Hill.

Coach Hibbard's crew, with four straight wins, played brilliantly until several members were injured. A lone conference victory was counted up over Ashland, district champs. Of the ten letterman, six graduate this spring-Hill, Thomas, Mooers, Gabehart, Treadgold, and Clark. Davis, Moyer, and Martin are juniors receiving letters, while Clayton is the lone sophomore. Chances for next year appear rosy with promising freshmen and jayvee prospects coming up. Two members of the squad, Hill and Treadgold, were placed on the S. O.

Grants Pass, last season, counted up wins in all twelve of its tilts to seize the mythical crown. In spite of the rather murky outlook, Coach George Erickson believed that his boys would win their share of games this season. Eight letter-winners are back to form the basis of the squad. Returning lettermen are: Dick Krenek, ..., , 1- Hug Roy Stout, jim Drolette, Norman Matheus, Bernard Clayton, Charles Roberts, Leland Clark and Celesten Laubach.

A definite stab was made this year to re-establish Grants Pass supremacy on the courts under the new coach, Robert Yeo. The Cavemen dropped their opener with Roseburg 6 to 1, but came back the following week to humble the In- dians 5 to 2. The court quintet then got off to a good start in the conference race by taking Ashland 4 to 3. The complete schedule consisted of two games with each of the following teams: Medford, Ash- land, Klamath Falls, and Roseburg. The first five men were Ted Breitmayer, Fred Treadgold, Ben Wright, john Stott, and Bob Havard. 'I 1 1 g 1 U n scum--H gf , .ru F K 1 .Xf 1 Z f's 'sz 4, Pierson. l'rue-ss. 'Fziylt-r.

On Grants Pass Day, a day set aside by the Cra- ter Lake National Park to honor Grants Pass. many of the high school ski enthusiasts participated in the features planned for the occasion. Events entered by the more active club members were the cross-country race, slalom, jumping, down-hill, and obstacle race. Moving pictures were taken of the team in action then and during the inter-club rryoutsg they were shown during one of the business meetings.
