H. Mit- chell in his churchyard. In ltfemory Olff!16 Wie have set aside this page in the 1941 TOKA in memory of the Reverend H. H. Mitchell, retired vicar of St. Luke's Episcopal church, whose death in january was a great loss to our school and commun- ity. His was a large and deciding part in the lives of high school students, and his chair is hard to fill. Reverend Mitchell was born in England and came to the United States in 1906. He resided-in Moscow, Idaho, before coming to Grants Pass to take charge of the local church in 1952. After his retirement from his position as active vicar of the church, he was elected to the school board in 1939. His participation in activities of the community in- cluded his membership in the Rotary club of which he was secretary at the time of his death. His residence was on North Fourth street and he was well known and respected throughout the locality. The TOKA staff here gratefully and reverently acknowledges Reverend Mitchell's service to Grants Pass high school as a member of our school board and to the community as a whole as an outstanding CIEIZCI1. .asa keverenol itcfze!!

In trying to deviate from the general type of themes used in previous years, the 1941 TOKA staff has chosen for you a trip through the school year 1940-41 with Lewis Carroll's famous character, Alice- Through-the-Looking-glass. just as Alice traveled down a magic passage to Looking-glass House, so this page will be your magic door to your Looking- glass House-a reflection of Grants Pass high school. With Alice, you will see mirrored in these pages the principal events of note during the year 1940-41. To make this trip as much like Alice's trip through the other Looking-glass House as possible, we have named our divisions after chapters in Alice Through- the-Looking-glassf' Since Alice's instructor was Humpty-Dumpty, we have given our administration section that name. Likewise, we have titled the class section Looking-glass Insects, the activity section Garden of Live Flowers, the athletic section after the famous battle of the Lion and Unicorn, and the features after Queen Alice. To further carry out our theme, we have elected by popular vote the schools prettiest brunette and prettiest blonde to represent Alice's companions, the Red Queen and the White Queen. Like Alice, we are pawns in a huge chess-game trying to reach the last square, where we will become kings and queens-with mortar- boards in place of crowns. And now we invite you to take Alice by the hand and step through the doorway of Looking-glass House. May the 1941 TOKA give you an accurate reflection of your position on the checkerboard. e come to oo z'ng:g oss ouse ,Xt right is at picture of the TOKA assembly p1'og.:'rz1m in which Amy Pruden its Alive looks through the il-norway of I.t1f1kinp.f-glass House with Marian llunson and Jane Dy- sert. 4 aw iff'- DALIC F. GINN Deokcateol to Duff: Ginn right is Mr. Hir n in his present office in the Count Court House. The 1941 TOKA staff gratefully dedicates this issue of the TOKA to Dale Ginn, in recognition of his services to the students of Grants Pass high school during the past years here as teacher. Mr. Ginn graduated from the Puget Sound University of Seattle, Washington, with a B. A. de- gree, also majoring in business administration. The '52 TOKA says of him: Another teacher with whom we were afflicted was Mr. Dale Ginn-iHe teaches commerce and commercial law and was as- sistant coach of the basketball squad. He was advis- er of the 1935 TOKA and Service club adviser the same year. In 1935-56 he began teaching civics and acted as junior class adviser. The following year he taught civics and business training and was one of the student council advisers. In 1957-38 he was ad- viser to the freshman class-now the graduating sen- ior class of '41, In 1939-40 he taught U. S. history to the juniors and also served as their adviser. This year Mr. Ginn acted as history-civics instructor and sophomore class adviser until the first of the year, when he took over his new position as county school superintendent. Obviously, during his ten years of teaching, Mr. Ginn has given students his active cooperation, so it is not surprising that he is well liked among the student body. Most of the pupils who have been in his classes will remember him for his subtle humor and his flattering way of dealing with students as adults. wh A MW ,iv 'N s M as 3 ,, ,..f-gi..

Miss Lilian Fosbery, clerk! and Morris Milbank, who replaced the Reverend H. H. Mitchell at the time of his tleath. ln insert is City School Superintendent M. B. VVinslow. The school board is one of the most vital parts of the school administration. The board is made up of Ed Gohrke, chairman, Robert F. Harris, the Rev- erend H. H. Mitchellg Sam Stinebaughg Emil Gebersg and Lilian Fosbery, clerk. The duties of the school board are to elect the city superintendent of schools, the principals, the teachers, and all other employees of the schools. The main article under the budget, which they make is the paying of the teachers' and employees' salaries. They also appropriate money for other things. The school board gives freely of its time and effort to promote the welfare of the schools, which requires a large measure of unselfish interest. ff i I f N rznczpcz s essczge PRINCIPAL HENRY FI. TETZ A mirrored reflection of a year's activity re- veals an ever-meaningful panorama of pleasant ex- periences and enjoyable friends, and we join with the staff in hoping that you will find many hours of pleasant enjoyment in these pages of the TOKA. It presents the greatest problem and the greatest trea- sure-yourselves. Within you are hidden the na- tion's greatest resources, those sleeping giants, the physical, the mental, the social, and the spiritual as- pects of life. You have not one, but four lives to live-a four-fold opportunity to grow, A body, a brain, a heart, and a soul-these are your living tools. To use them is not a task but a golden opportunity to bring new treasures into every waking hour. This TOKA captures the eagerness and the fresh- ness of youth. When youth goes, much goes with it. When adulthood comes, much comes with it. We exchange a world of delightful sensations and impres- sions for a world of duties, work, and meditations. Youth enjoy what man tries to understand. To find new capacities within you is not robbing you of any pleasure. It is helping you to touch life at all angles, absorb strength from all contacts, pour out power on all fronts. If you dare to use your talents, you find yourself growing stronger physically, mentally, soc- ially, spiritually, ancl you multiply them a hundred- fold by sharing their fruit. You give your life away and behold, a richer life comes back to you. I -1 6? 1 - H lijfl eo M ilk 1 ' ur fl f umpty Dumptysn Two new teachers have been added to our list of Humpty Dumptys during the term. When Dale Ginn took over his new position of county su- perintendent, George Erickson, assistant football and basketball coach and head baseball coach was shifted to the position of teaching Mr. Ginn's history-civics classes, and Herbert Lewis, from the Rogue River high school replaced Mr. Erickson as teacher of ninth grade social science. Miss Anne Barton from Crane high school, Crane, Oregon, replaced Miss Doreen Boice as in- structor of English III and adviser of the Charm club. At Christmas Miss Boice married Harold Shogren, former trades instructor here. She has taught at Grants Pass for five and one-half years, and has taken a large part in activities. Miss Barton is a graduate of Oregon University, where she majored in English and music. Popular among the girls is Miss Lynnetta Quin- lan, dean of girls. Under her guidance, a successful program of activities has been worked out by the Girls' League. The Boys' Federation has been under the guidance this year of W. S. Carpenter, dean of boys, agriculture teacher, and adviser of the F. F. A. When teachers put across the required subjects such as English and social science as well as our faculty does, it is evident that text material is well augmented by the personal interest of the teacher. Senior journalists and essay writers have their be- ginning in Miss Kelly's English I classes. Miss Kel- ly advises the Etiquette club and teaches one class of social science. English III and one class of Eng- lish VI are taught by Miss Faye Thompson. She is adviser of the Drama club, with Miss Nina johnson, who teaches English IV and mathematics III. Miss Sarah Parr also teaches English IV plus two classes of English V, and advises the Camera club. Other English V classes are instructed by Miss Daphne Matthews, TOKA adviser. English VI classes re- ceive instruction from Vernon Trimble, popular ad- viser of journalism and Career club.

Instruction of general science, biology and one class of social science III comes under Richard Chambers. Other biology classes are taught by Frank Beer, adviser of Cavemen Patrol. Lenn Pier- son, Ski club, Science club, and Back Numbers ad- viser, teaches chemistry, physics, and consumers' education. Commercial courses include such subjects as bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing. Gilbert Wiley teaches bookkeeping I and II, Miss Dorothea Wil- kens, F. B. P. W. adviser, has charge of classes in shorthand and transcription, and typing classes are under George Hibbard. Hib is the head basket- ball coach for Grants Pass high school. Office management is offered to senior girls taking a commercial course. Ruth Rubins, secretary for upper division, and Mildred Jensen lower divi- sion secretary comprise the official office staff. Contrasting to the commercial courses are the homemaking classes instructed by the Misses Princess Egbert. Helen Busenbark, and Mary Woodward, our youngest faculty member and teacher of homemaking eighth, I, and II. Miss Egbert teaches homemaking II, one class of homemaking, and advises the Home- making club. Miss Busenbark teaches homemaking I and III. Instrumental music in the high school is under the direction of Martin Trepte, band and orchestra leader. R. Cloyd Riffe teaches vocal music in upper and lower division Glee clubs.

All of the officers are seniors except the treasurer, Bob Havard, who is a junior. The president presides over the student body meetings and the vice-president presides over the student council meetings. The secretary writes the minutes for both meetings, and the treasurer takes care of all the financial transactions. essage As the school year of 1940-41 completes its course, we look back on the making of history in Grants Pass high school. During the year we have been able to carry out an organized school govern- ment, with meetings of the executive board and stu- dent council scheduled and planned in advance. A fine student body, full of pep and life has aided the administration in fulfilling its purposes. An outstanding example of this was our purchase of the basketball scoreboard, a project undertaken by the students without any outside help or donations, and any student has a right to say he helped to buy it. Another outstanding accomplishment was the organization of the drum and bugle corps, which has become a feature of our high school athletic events. Executive committees representing the student body in various school activities have efficiently per- formed assigned tasks and been responsible for the origin of ideas for the promotion of good school spirit. One of these was the sign and noise parade to advertise football games. Student body assemblies have all been planned in advance for the enjoyment of students, social activities also have been carefully planned. ' Thus, through the cooperation of the students, the work of the student council, and executive board with its committees we have striven to follow our mot- to to put Grants Pass high school on top and keep it there in all sports and activities.

The two student councils and the executive board, by undertaking larger and more projects, sought to reach their goal, which was to realize more fully the benefits experienced in self government and to create a closer relationship between admistration, community, and students. Under the guidance of Miss Daphne Matthews. blames Keith, W. S. Car- penter, and Principal Henry Tetz, they made steady advancement toward this goal. The two projects of the student body this year illustrate the capacity of our student government. These two projects were ones requiring unusual ini- tiative on the part of the students. The turfing of the football field was taken on and financed by sell- ing 31.000 worth of bonds, to be used with an equal amount of money given by the school board, and to be paid off within five years. Wfith the unanimous consent of the student body one thousand acres of burned over land was obtained from the county for the purpose of return- ing the abandoned area to its former useful state of a productive pine and fir forest. A day, March 7, was set aside for 480 boys to plant 5,000 fir trees and 5,000 pines. The National Forestry department obtained these trees from the state nursery for the student body. Both of these projects were carried out under our student executive system. The student councils are made up of represent- atives from each club and class in the school, who discuss problems and possible improvements within the school and act as advisory councils to the exe- cutive board. This plan facilitates immediate action on legislation desired. The executive system of the students includes besides the student councils and the executive board, several standing committees appointed at the first of each school year. These committees include assemblies, homerooms, clubs, social activities, dramatics, music. athletics, classes, publications, honoraries, and forensics under their jurisdiction. 52 W' it-Q1 ' - Q mme It vt 1 .2-W U 'f .ae..fM:'s t seat.

The senior reception, the first and one of the most successful formals of the year, featured a Hawaiian theme. which was effectively carried out with the use of pom-poms, crepe paper flowers, and palm trees. At this occa- sion the old formality of an adult receiving line was revived. The receiving line was headed by Carol Gibson, Girls' League president, and George Grable, class president. During the football campaign the class was announced winner of the noise parade, and amid the blare of trumpets were presented with a magnifi- cent scrap-iron trophy. Participating in another stunt to advertise a football game, the class led the school sign parade down Sixth street. They also took a prominent part in organizing the athletic cir- cus in February. As is the tradition, the seniors presented the Christmas program-an excellent combination of the reverent spirit of Christmas, portrayed by the play, Why the Chimes Rang, and humor, provided by Chub Clark as Santa Claus. The senior play, You Can't Take It With You, and senior dress-up day were both held in April. I As usual, the last week in May was an especial- ly busy one for seniors, for most of their graduation activities were held then. The annual senior picnic was followed by the host of other festive events that make up a senior's last few days of school. Bacca- laureate, the Sunday preceding graduation, was fol- lowed by class night, the senior award night, on Monday, and May 28 the seniors were graduated amidst a confusion of flowers, music, speeches, and awards. During all four years of high school the class of '41 has been consistently active. As entering freshmen they chose Bill Davis as president, Ann Hood. vice president, Marian Campbell, secretary, Harold Bormuth, treasurer, and Aggie Martin, stu- dent council representative. Their first activity was the building of the bonfire for the annual football rally. As sophomores they were led by Bennett Wright, president, Dave Brainerd, vice president, Jeannette McGuire, secretary, Virginia Pollock, treasurer, and Bill Davis, student council representative. That year the class introduced a new way of presenting their pennant to the student body, unveiling it be- fore assembly. For their junior year officers elected were: Har- old Bormuth, president, George Grable, vice presi- dent, Marian Campbell, secretary, Allan Courant, treasurer, and Verol Amens, student council repre- sentative. Their principal activities included the Thanksgiving program, the iunior play, The Thir- teenth Chair, sponsoring of the junior prom, and the annual flunk day at jackson Hot Springs. will Q XVanda Albert June Albro June Alger ollyzinna Allen Verol Ame-ns K.

Outstanding among their many activities was the junior class play, Going Places, a fast moving comedy which brought down the house. This was presented on November I9. Laurels go also to their Thanks- giving program which consisted of a spicey vaudeville show and an entertaining speaker. Their enthusiasm won the sign parade and brought them honorable mention in the noise parade. Particularly good taste was shown in their choice of class rings, smaller than usual and crested with a miniature Caveman. The peak of a successful year came, however, with the presentation of the annual Junior Prom. This spectacular event is one tradition looked forward to from the beginning of the year. The anticipation held for this was fulfilled, as it was presented with great success. In February they entered the athletic circus, and the juniors' tra- ditional flunk day was carried out in the usual gay style in May. At the senior graduation ceremony, formal-clad junior girls held beautiful arches of flowers for the seniors' march to the platform. Members of the enterprising class of '42 were well represented in student body affairs. Bob Havard was treasurer for the student body, Dick Eismann was a member of the debating team. Betty Peake was business manager for the '41 TOKA, and junior class members served as Girls' League officers, executive board members, and on standing committees. All due credit must go to their able faculty advisers, Miss Faye Thompson, George Hibbard, and Lenn Pierson. 30 'Eh ...ff A.. 's 3 FIRST ROXV: .I. Morgan, Higgins. Banner, W. Johnson, Huston.

In circle is Soph- omore President Chet Lathrop, who plays on the second varsity basket- ball team. This school year has been another active year for the class of '43, At an early meeting the class chose a number of active members to lead them through the ensuing year. Chester Lathrop, president, was assisted by Dick Shaw, vice president, jean McLoughlin, secretary-trea- surerg and Ray Clayton, student council representative. Early in the school year the class took part in making the first annual sign parade a successful event. Shortly afterwards they also entered the noise parade. October 5, the class members were formally received by the senior class. This was the first time in several years that the custom of hav- ing a formal reception had been revived. The event was most impres- sive with a Hawaiian theme and an adult receiving line. November 29 the class held an informal party, financed by their well paid dues. This record of promptness in paying dues is some- thing of which other classes cannot boast. At an upper division student body meeting December 4, the class presented a variety program to entertain the other two upper division classes. The sophomore class was a great support during the basketball season, and the reserve team, comprised mostly of sophomores, showed some promising members for the varsity team in future years. Members of this group have also shown participation in many other activities by placing sophomore names on the roster of every club for which they were eligible. The faculty advisers, to whom the class is indebted for many of their successes, were Miss Sarah Parr, Robert Yeo, and Dale Ginn. When Mr. Ginn was elected county superintendent, his successor, Her- bert Lewis, filled his place as class adviser. Officers for the year 1940-41 included Ray Clayton, president, Chester Lathrop, vice president, Louise Scheiferstein. secretary-treasur- erg and Niel Allen, student council representative. 32 nw., FIRST RCHY: Mr. Ginn, C.

I H ' 'ra .W A' . iq 'PW by t- at 1 M Q p if . .... ,. V i we S i Eagerness and cooperation has led the freshmen of '44 through their third year as a class of Grants Pass high. They commanded re- spect and attention from the seventh and eighth grade classmen, rather than suffering under the superiority of upper classmen. Chosen by the members of the class as their officers for the past year were: president, Merwin Spalding, vice president, Ioy Howard, and secretary-treasurer, La Rene Thompson. No student council re- presentative was elected for the class. On the evening before the Ashland-Grants Pass football game the freshmen built the traditional bonfire for the rally. The freshmen of '44 presented a new and fitting feature to the usual rally proce- dure by burning a huge A above their bonfire. Despite the down- pouring of rain, the evening was a success for the class. A first class football and basketball squad was formed from this class. Coach Otis Wilson remarked that he had no outstanding play- ers, as without one the rest could not succeed, but all look favorable for a successful varsity squad in the near future. All freshmen took active interest in the lower division carnival held in October. Their candidate for carnival queen was Beverly Ownbey. The freshmen had all but two of the parts in the lower division play, Too Many Maskersj' and members of the class have been able to take part in upper division activities as well as their own activities. As a whole, the class has carried out a worthwhile group of activities this year. Their scholarship and citizenship is above aver- age. Since their representation in all school affairs is exceptionally good and recognizable to the school, the freshman class will doubtless contribute to the success and fame of G. P. H. S. in the near future. Advisers for the class were Miss Mary Woodward, Miss Anne Barton, who took Miss Doreen Boice's place upon her resignation, and George Erickson. 34 FIRST HUXY: Miss XYooflwarcl.

Prominent members of the eighth grade class were elected to lead the group through their second year in the six year high school. jim McClellan was chosen president and supporting him were vice-presi- dent Chester Carlson, treasurer Betty Garner, secretary Barbara Shelton. These officers have represented their class in many activities and sports besides carrying out their official duties with efficiency. Participation in the big lower division mixer started off their cal- endar of school events in September. The same month the eighth grade girls became little sisters to upper class big sisters, and at- tended the big sister picnic. Their candidate for the lower division carnival queen was Mary Ellen Deiter, who reigned as a princess at that event. Several members represented this class in the lower division play, Too Many Masl-ters. The eighth grade class party, an entertainment for the class mem- bers only, was held in April. Members of this class were much more noticeably present in or- ganizations and athletics this year than last. They were represented on the junior varsity football squad by about five players, of whom two received letters, and had a basketball team of their own. They were represented in Archery, Glee, Etiquette, and several other lower and up- per division clubs. Eighth graders were present in the orchestra and Phil Courant represented them on the TOKA as reporter for junior varsity sports. Members of this class also filled positions on the executive board, student council, and standing committees. Noticeable improvement in assembly conduct was an encourag- ing sign of their developing sense of responsibility for the school's re- putation. Advisers for the class were: Robert Nichol, Miss Jean Anunsen, and Miss Myrtle Birtchet. 36 Vs if t. 4' 'Ss -00,4 l lliS'l' KHXY: Mr, Nivhul. L3 Ce-tt. Potts.

Starting the new school year off well, the seventh grade entered the many activities at their disposal. The lower division mixer, held early in the year, found many seventh graders par- ticipating. At the lower division carnival, after their first football game, they sold enough tickets to make their candidate queen. Queen Diane Knox triumphantly reigned for her class at this event. The seventh grade was represented also in the lower division play by Janie Allen, who took the part of Elaine Fairfax, the dreamy student of Langdon hall. Janie was the only seventh grader in the play. To their list of activities may be added several all-school events in which they participated. Seventh grade girls were entertained by upper class girls at the 'big sister picnic, sponsored by the upper Girls' League for the lower Girls' League. They were also well re- presented in the sign and noise parade and took part in the big athletic circus given in February. In May they held a class party, a new activity, which it is hoped will become traditional. The seventh grade elected Sue McAdam for president for the year 1940-41. She was the only girl president in the school. Other officers leading the class were: Loren Krenek, vice president, Kenneth West, secretary-treasurer, and Dee Cullison, student council representative. Self government on a large scale is rather new to this class, but they have proved a cooperative and efficient group of workers under the guidance of their advisers, Miss Bertha Calhoun, Miss Ruth Kelly, and James Keith. From this class we look for many future leaders. From their en- thusiastic acceptance of all worthy suggestions, and their ability in car- rying them out, we expect much activity from them in the future. 38 w U-Y' lyk rm 1 . , Q X , 1 it.

Lenn Pier- son is supervisor. Earl Wiederhold is the manager and Bob Skow is the property manager. Earl and Bob are the only permanent members of the organ- ization, but volunteered help from the study hall is used in emergencies. The public address system is also under the care of this club. These boys are interested in radio work, and gain much experience along this line by handling the address system, Last year several more boys were in the club, but for various reasons they have dropped out. Among the service clubs of Grants Pass high school, the Back Numbers are very valuable. ART SERVICE Painting signs, posters, and doing decorating which require artistic ability was the purpose of the Art Service club this year. Led by Wanda Reid, president, the group met every two weeks to study and do fashion, figure, printing, and individual projects of surrealistic and other types of art. At many meetings the group was shown slides and moving pictures demonstrat- ing new and different techniques. The officers were Wanda Reid, presidentg Wan- da Johnson, vice presidentg Marjorie Fall, secretary, Mavis Brelsford, treasurer, Merle Samain, student council representative, and Miss Alice Mueller, ad- viser. Miss Mueller also had supervision over the group of eighth grade art students who did the soap carvings used on the division pages of the TOKA.

The results of this election gave the pres- ident's gavel to Carol Gibson whose assistants were: Gladys Goodwin, vice presidentg Marie Reinhart, secretary, Virginia Pollock, treasurerg Mavis Brelsford, social service leader, Dorothy Turner, song leader, Berniece Leinen, student council representative, and Pollyanna Allen, entertainment chairman. This year the Girls' League continued the practice of having a big sister for each of the under class girls. The Wiener roast party which was to have been held in the city park was held in the old gym on account of rain. The Girls' League winter formal dance, a new event this year, was held during December. The winter theme was artistically car- ried out by the use of evergreens, covered with artificial snow, and colored lights. George Grable, senior class president, introduced those in attendance to the receiving line, which was headed by Carol Gibson. A major project of the Girls' League was the sale of candy and hot dogs at the games. The plan was very successful and profitable. Early in january, Mrs. Hillory Jones from Mills College, present- ed to the girls an interesting talk about college life that greatly ap- pealed to them. Following the talk, several members of the Girls' League accompanied Mrs. Jones to luncheon. An objective of the entertainment committee was to uncover local school talent. All programs at the meetings were carried out with this goal in mind. Many varied and well planned programs were presented to the group during the year. The annual Girls' League week was held in March, when the boys were dated, escorted, and treated by the girls. As usual, the Mothers' tea was held in the spring. is A .

This year the Lower Girls' League presided over every other joint business meeting of the upper and lower leagues. They also gave sev- eral entertainment assemblies during the year. To raise money the girls sold blue and white pencils with the basketball conference schedule printed on them. In September they were duly initiated into the social life of the League at the annual big-little sister party held after school in the gymnasium of the old building. This was the first and largest joint social event on the league calendar. Lower division girls observed the first week of April as Girls' League week along with their big sisters, taking part in the traditional custom of dating the boys and financing the dates. A good portion of lower division students attended the skating party and Wiener roast scheduled for that week. At the Mothers' Tea in May. these girls assisted the upper league in entertaining their mothers by a style show and in serving re- freshments. Officers for the year were: Dorothy Fowler, presidentg Ioanne Smith, vice-presidentg Lucille Edwards, secretary, Margaret Tarvin, treasurer, Geneva Spalding, social service chairman, Ellen Williams, entertainment chairman, LaRene Thompson, song leaderg and lean Hahn, student council representative. Altogether the Lower Division Girls' League is an organization of which the student body has reason to be proud. They are the largest organization in the lower division, and they have lived up to this chal- lenge by becoming one of the most active groups. 45 Just below is the group of lower division officers presiding over a joint meeting: in circle is a group who sold pencils frequently for the Girls' League: Dorothy Draper.

The Boys' Federation is a joint organization of all the upper and lower division boys in the high school. Organized last year under the direction of Charles Roberts, student body president, it became active this year for the first time. Next to the Girls' League it is the largest organization in school and corresponds to the Girls' League organiza- tion, each boy becoming automatically a member upon the payment of student body dues. Officers this year were: VanD Donaldson, pres- identg Gene Farthing, first vice-presidentg Don Furchner, second vice- presidentg Dan Beyer, secretary-treasurerg and Evan Pruitt, student body representative. The first vice-president is an upper division member and the second vice-president represents the lower division boys, somewhat in the fashion of our six year student body plan. One of the earliest activities of the Boys' Federation was their sponsorship of boys' boxing and wrestling matches held during the noon hour, to which students paid five cents admission. The receipts were deposited in the Boys' Federation treasury. At meetings entertainment was provided in the form of various speakers who presented topics most interesting to boys. Adding var- iety to this were several musical programs presented by student and community talent. The boys' exchange assembly program was presented to the Girls' League in February. Under the direction of Earl Ladd the boys enac- ted a short skit on How to Lose Your Man in pantomime with the monologue in rhyme. Other numbers on the program were vocal and instrumental musical selections. For the first time in the history of the the school the boys have been organized into one active group. 46 ,SIG AA J' .am 4-'ar shin I QQ YG xx PM M 's First Rowz Jeannette McGuire.

Pierson, general science, chemistry, and physics teacher for the Grants Pass high school, continued as adviser this year for the Sigma Sigma, known to some as the Science club. The telescope upon which the club as a whole has been working for nearly six years was completed this year Linder the supervision of Charles Hussey, who directed the work before he graduated last year. In former years the members of the club have been asked to take some scientific project on which they could work all during the year. This year that plan was revived, and although projects were not com- pulsory, a contest was held among those taking projects to be judged upon the amount of work done on them and their value to the indi- viduals who carried them out. Two or three members were allowed to collaborate on projects. Frank M. Beer, Richard Chambers, and Miss jean Anunsen, science teachers, judged the projects, and Mr. Pierson offered the prize of a free flight in his airplane to the winner. Some of the projects taken by the twenty-four members this year were: finger-printing, dissecting, taxidermy, microscopy, and the growing of plants with chemicals. As president of the club this year, Charles Pixley prepared the club for the annual assembly, had different speakers at the meetings to tell of interesting scientific subjects, and assisted in the completion of the telescope. Allan Courant was vice-president of the club, Jean- nette McGuire was secretary-treasurer, and Neil Pollock replaced Ed- ward Anderson early in the year as club scour, whose duty was to look for places of interest where the club could take field trips, This year the Sigma Sigma held the candy concession for only one semester, opening it to the bids by petition, through the student council, of other clubs just after Christmas. 47 .lust below are Bob Ballweber and Georgie XVeiss with their finger- printing apparatus, which they used in carrying? out their project: in cirele is Charles Pixlcy with the 4-ompleted telesvope lens and mount. nf - ww-er .1 .... .. ,.,, FIRST RHXY: Sailiruifln, Reid, XVells.

Four of these members, -lames Cotter, Jerry Stone, Kent johnson, and Frank Price. represented the Grants Pass chapter in the dairy judging at the Pacific International Livestock Show 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. This banquet was held in the Homemaking department and was served by Homemaking girls on February 26. Together with the Homemaking club the F. F. A held a joint meeting and program to celebrate Thanksgiving. Refreshments were served by both clubs. Most of this year's officers and those elected for next year attended the state F. F. A. convention at Corvallis the last of April. A number of boys exhibited livestock at the county fair during the past year, and several won prizes. It has been the custom in the past years for the Future Farmers to put on programs before different civic organizations of the county. For the first time the group presented a program before the illinois Valley grange and also one for the Rogue River Valley grange Both of these programs were presented in December and consisted of parlia- mentary demonstrations, musical numbers, and talks on such relative subjects as farmer co-ops. 48 --.. -......

Sprague as a featured speaker. In March, a banquet downtown was given to the local boys by their employers. Mr. Harold XV. Shogren, former teacher at Grants Pass high school, and Mr. W. W. Morris, state officer of the Future Craftsmen were ,among guests at the banquet. The school board Principal Henry Tetz, Superintendent M. B. NWinslow, and the Crafts- men's local advisory board were also invited. This year, the craftsmen in high school numbered twenty-three, and had as their leaders: Allen Woodbury, superintendent, Donald Gantenbcin, gate keeperg Brendon Gill, time keeper' and Bob 1-lambly, foreman of the Grants Pass chapter. Most of the boys worked one half day on their job, and all studied general and technical information about their work five hours a week. Among the field jobs held by them were, electricity, clerking. paint- ing, and carpentry. In addition, first aid and parliamentary law was studied by the boys, and they attended the many contests held in these fields by the national Future Craftsmen The Future Craftsman first aid team has won honors for Grants Pass high school for many years. To become a member of the first aid team one must belong to the Future Craftsmen and be skilled in the field of first aid. First Aiders' take trips to Portland and else- where to compete in contests and tournamentsisponsored by the state and national organizations. From such trips, the local boys have brought home many cups. Similar contests are held in the field of parliamentary law, in which the boys also participate. 49 Direvtly below are the Future Craftsmen leaving for Portland. where they won the parliamentary cup. but lost their first aid compe- titiong in eirvle is the banquet giv- en in March. 3 IWW 5 .

To characterize the theme, Red and White Queens were chosen by students who pur- chased TOKA. Carol Gibson was chosen as Red Queen and Lucille Edwards as White Queen. This year, a new idea was used for the division sheets, that of photographing soap carvings. The seventh and eighth grade art classes, under the direction of Miss Alice Mueller carved characters symbolizing the theme for the photographs. At the beginning of the year, the TOKA gave an assembly de- picting Alice Through the Looking Glass, with Amy Pruden por- traying Alice. Last year's TOKA, with Alice Cox as editor, again received the rank and honor of first class among offset books, which is next to All American, the highest possible rating, at the National Scholastic Press Association at the University of Minnesota, which judges the annuals of schools and colleges all over the United States.

The addition of an ex- tra column to the four column paper and the increase of three inches in length gave opportunity for more student activities to be included in the paper and enabled each member of the staff to have at least one story, or article, printed in each issue. One outstanding feature of the paper was the pictures. They added to the appearance and interest of the paper as well as to the value of the issues to students who keep copies as mementos of high school days. The pictures were furnished through the courtesy of the Grants Pass Daily Courier, where the Scroll is printed once every two weeks. In order to enlarge the paper it was necessary that more funds be raised to finance the publication. This was done by the fine cooper- ation of local merchants in purchasing advertising space and by an in- creased allotment from the student body funds. Another notable ac- complishment of the high school journalists in the past year was the winning of the Harris Ellsworth cup for the best school news notes, student written, published in local newspapers The cup was awarded at the annual Oregon High School Press Association which was held in Eugene, October 25, at the University of Oregon. Winning the cup was through the efforts of last year's publicity manager, Warren Baker, who was responsible for news notes to the Courier, Harold Davis, Scroll editor, and Fred Treadgold who had charge of school news for the Bulletin. This year's publicity manager was Gayle Nichols, representative of school news for the Courier, and Rex Ballweber, who wrote for the Bulletin. This year's staff consisted of Joan Roberts, editor, Dorothy Turner, assistant editorg Dick Thompson, business manager, Amy Pru- den, advertising manager, Lillian Bestul and Bob Havatd, advertising staffg and thirty reporters.

B. Collett and Gilbert VViley. iw-' This year, very capable students comprised the Ticket Squad, a service club of Grants Pass high school. Under the leadership of A. B. Collett and Gilbert Wiley, this club has proven willing and efficient in serving the student body. They undertook to take care of the gate receipts from all of the athletic games, the plays, and other such events during the year. Any student who wished could become a member. The club had no officers, but in carrying out their duties, they worked in teams of varying numbers. For the football season the teams numbered eight members, who sold tickets and checked gate receipts. These teams alternated for each game. The basketball sea- son called for teams of only six: two to sell tickets in each hall, one at the student gate, one at the adult's gate, and one at each of the back doors. After the games, the money received was checked by both advisers and then by Mr. Tetz, who took it to the night deposi- tory box at the bank. The services of the ticket squad in this way were invaluable. This club holds no regular meetings, meeting in a body only to organize and plan for the service at events. Often as few as two meetings are held in a year if the squad is competent and informed as to duties. The organizer, and former adviser, of the club, Oren Tarbox, will be with the squad again next year. Students serving on the Ticket squad received no compensation for this work, theirs being a truly altruistic job. Their familiar blue jackets were an indispenable part of every school event. Few clubs in the school have such a record of undeniable service as has this group of students. 52 ,af lr'lllS'l' now: Blat-k. Beyer, Vrtrolztn. Brtfitniaxer, Sin!!-'lei SIGUUNIT RUW: Mills, Krewsnn.

I ioveman Petro! fiooses IX ew Embfem The Caveman Patrol is another service club of our high school. lt is comprised of sixteen boys of the upper division who perform such services for the student body as placing and removing chairs on the gymnasium floor for assemblies and other presentations, including plays and concerts. Traffic at all school affairs presented at night is directed by these boys, also, and for this reason, they were formerly known as the Traffic Squad. The Caveman Patrol meets twice a month, as do most other clubs, under the leadership of Mike Carolan, presidentg Pat Breitmayer, vice presidentg Bob Beyer, secretary-treasurerg Floyd Lewman, student coun- cil representativeg and Frank Beer, adviser. Meeting hours are spent in discussing business carried on by the club, and in entertainment Another important function of the club is to control conduct of students at athletic or other events. For the purpose of encouraging good behavior on the part of recalcitrants, they have small wooden paddles of l:lue and white cavetnan design. Although used infrequent- ly, these have proven very effective. At the beginning of the school year, the student body donated 325 to the club for the purpose of securing some kind of emblem and maintaining equipment. The decision as to the kind of emblem was left to the club. A round identifying symbol about five and a half inches in diameter was decided upon. This device is of white chenille, upon which is a caveman and the words Caveman Patrol. The Caveman Patrol accepts a great deal of responsibility in as- suming the job of service along the line that has been described. It is no easy thing to carry out their group of activities in rain or shine.

Many special groups have been formed to entertain at high school and local events. The most outstanding is the a cappella chorus which took part in the Christmas program at the high school. sang for num- erous churches. and gave an assembly program in April. Others are the boys quartet, the boys octet, the girls trio, the girls sextet, and the mixed quartet. The boys quartet sang over station KQXW at Portland last fall for a special program in which several Oregon high schools were represented. Several members of the Glee club took part in exchange assemblies with other towns. Just below is a scene from the Op- eretta, Pirates of Penzancef' in circle is Glee club instructor, R. Cloyd Riffe at the piano. On April 24 and 25, the mixed chorus participated in the annual Ashland festival which was under the direction of Doctor Theodore Kratt of the University of Oregon. Glee club letters were given to students on the following points: ninety per cent attendance. two public performances a year, promoting better music in the school and the community. a grade average of 3, and an improved appreciation of the classical music. Gilbert and Sullivans light opera Pirates of Penzance, was pre- sented March 6 and 7 by the Glee club. This is the third consecutive year a Gilbert and Sullivan Opera has been given for the pleasure of students and townspeople. The officers of the Girls Glee club for the year were president, W'anda johnsong vice president, joy Howardg secretary, Wandra Reidg treasurer, Beth Alice Laddg and student council representative.

Since its organization in 1927 with seven members, the orchestra has steadily grown. There are now many lower division students who belong. Fourteen different instruments are played, and this year a new alto clarinet was added. The orchestra principally plays for outdoor programs, and football fans look forward to the half at games when the band gives its field drill exhibition. This year the band played at several different out-of- town games. They had a large part in many of the exchange assem- blies and presented the student body with an orchestra concert as well as a band concert. During the year several of the members were given the opportunity to conduct the orchestra for the experience and train- ing it offered. The first band concert ever presented was given this year at a free student matinee as well as an evening pay performance. This event was a tremendous success. Previous to this time the annual presentation has been an orchestra concert. For this years affair, Henry Howard handled the tickets and Marie Reinhart was in. charge of publicity. The orchestra also took part in the band clinic in Med- ford on March 7, and the annual music festival at Ashland. They ar- tended the band contest which was held in Marshfield on April 18 and 19. At a similar contest held here last year, our band was given a rating of first-class. Officers for the band and orchestra this year were: Bob Platner, Mr. Treptes assistant, Henry Howard, librarian, Dorothy Green, stu- dent body representativeg and Marie Reinhart, publicity manager. 55 Below are the drum majorettes, Katherine Harmon, Kay Moyer, Margaret Tarvin, and kneeling, Freddie Loveg in circle is student conductor Marie Reinhart.

To carry out these objectives this year, the club met twice a month, making every other meeting a social one at which refreshments were served and entertainment provided by different club members. Other meetings were spent discussing such business as pro- jects and election of officers, which takes place once a year. To further achieve their aims, the organization carried out several group activities during the year. One such activity was their novel beautification project, for which a committee was appointed each week to see that the club's beauty spots in each building were taken care of. For this project the Homemaking club purchased jardinieres for the halls from the club funds. Keeping these jardinieres filled with flowers or greenery was part of the duties of the weekly committees. On annual holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, and Thanks- giving, a party was held by the Homemakers. The Thanksgiving party was held at the annual joint meeting of the Homemaking club girls and the F. F. A. boys. The program was furnished by both clubs. Another outstanding performance was the club's initiation of new members at a candlelight ceremony. This year the initiation was held at a club meeting, lasting through part of the noon hour for lack of an open date on the school calendar for late March or early April. Spirits of the home were represented in the ceremony as usual. Leading the club this year were the president, Sally Milbankg vice- president, Charlene Phillipsg secretary, Alma Donaldson, treasurer, Ester Cechg historian, Betty Holmes, custodian, Audrey Fithiang re- porter, Florence Ellisg song leader, Doris Watts, pianist, Wanda John- son, and adviser, Miss Princess Egbert. 56 'Ti I a- .nr f .Y '- ,- l Fill, l'h'll' Anderson, Mvtiuire, Nichols. lieinhart.

NYU?- Torcfz Honor foins lxiotionof Honor Qociefy The Torch Honor society, under the leadership of Miss A. Claire Dunn as adviser, enjoyed one of the most active and successful seasons in the history of the organization. Gayle Nichols, as president, led the executive force, with Marie Reinhart as vice-president, Barbara Ackley as secretary-treasurer, and Elmer Hoffmaster as student coun- cil representative. Meetings were held once a month during the activity periods on Thursdays. The committee which was appointed in charge of the entertainment provided several good quizz programs which the club enjoyed as a new and interesting form of presenting information. Early in the fall the annual initiation party was held in Room l of the new building. The charge was given to the sophomores by Dorothy Green, to the juniors by Jeannette McGuire, and to the sen- iors by Marie Reinhart, vice-president. Each member had the privil- ege of bringing guests to all parties including this one, For their program, which was presented to the student body the Torch Honor gave the one-act comedy, Buddy Buys An Orchid, with Arden Van Dorn in the title role. Other characters were por- trayed by volunteer members of the organization. This year the club voted to join the National Honor Society. This enabled them to have pins which will be well recognized by all standard societies throughout the United States. This changes the constitution of the club somewhat however to conform with National standards. Officers will be elected twice a year and sophomores will not be allowed to hold office. The Torch Honor Society had the candy concession in the halls of the new building for eight weeks, thus raising money to buy the senior permanent pins. During the eight weeks, a candy cart was designed and paid for by them and given to the student body to be used by all clubs who have the concession during the year 57 Directly lie-low is 11 picture of the new Canrly case. showing from left to right: Toni llastings, Amy Pru- rlen, Marie Reinhart.

' I X X eoson N ets o onors This year the debaters, under the coaching of Ward H. Wlalker, began their season by debating with the Roseburg high school teams and then traveling to the Klamath Falls region where they took part in five debates. As these were merely practice debates no decisions were voiced. In February the squad traveled to McMinnville where they par- ticipated in the Linfield invitational tournament, winning four out of six debates, a repetition of the previous year's proportion of losses. In March a series of debates was held between the Grants Pass, Medford, and Ashland teams. Each school debated four times. Med- ford, winning four out of four of these, won the district championship, blasting Grants Pass' chance to gain the state championship trophy for the third and final time. The subject for debate this year was: 'iReso1ved: That the Pow- ers of the Federal Government Should Be Increased. Debating on this question were the affirmative team, composed of Earl Ladd and Dick Eismann, and the negative team, made up of VanD Donaldson and Dan Beyer. Others who turned out for debate were: Niel Allen, Genevieve McDonald, Eugene Smith, and Dewey Probst. For the previous two years the debaters have won the state cham- pionship. One team participated in the national tournament which was held at Beverly Hills, California. Members of the l939 championship team were: Rea Calvert and jean Denniston, affirmative, and Charles Roberts and Jim Lium, neg- ative. Last year's championship team consisted of VanD Donaldson and Dick Eismann, negative, and Earl Ladd and Charles Roberts, affirma- tive. 58 i . xx' .

At the beginning of the school year, this club chose officers who were active athletes to guide them through the yearls activity program. Bill Davis was chosen president, Harold CCurlyJ Bormuth, vice president, and Don fAggie7 Martin, secretary- treasurer. Each of these boys has an outstanding athletic record, hav- ing won letters in several sports in the same year. Loren Tuttle, head football and track coach and physical education teacher, was the club adviser, Another early action of the club was to change its name for the third time in as many years-this time to Varsity G, formerly it was known as Hi-G and Order of the G. A very realistic barn dance was sponsored by the Varsity G in conjunction with Girls' Letter club. The details of this affair were complete even to bales of hay, corn stalks, lanterns, and the fitting refreshments of doughnuts and cider. Attending students wore print dresses or overalls and danced the old time square dances and reels. In advertising this event, the Varsity G boys presented a clever skit before the assembly. The letter club's annual formal dance was given late in the spring. In April Coach Tuttle, a reserve army officer, was called to the U. S. army, but will resume his capacity as adviser upon his return. Varsity G president Bill Davis presented Mr. Tuttle with a handsome fountain pen and Eversharp set before the student body as a part- ing gift. 59 if Dirm-ily lie-low is a scene at the Varsity tl inysti-ry ilanvc-5 in circle is A:.fg'ie Martin l 0l't'lVlllflj his 'vrew-cut from Gene Allison.

Another year of successful interscholastic competition has drawn to a close for the Girls' Letter club, under the capable direction of Connie johnson, presidentg Margaret Ferris, vice president, Wilma Dressel, secretaryg Wanda Dimmick, treasurer, Dorothy Gray, student council representativeg and Miss Louise Pursley, adviser. The club, which was organized in l936-57, has approximately eighteen members this year. They have their choice of blue sweaters with white one quarter inch stripes or white sweaters with blue stripes. The letters are white six inch G's on a blue background. In order to earn a letter, the girls must participate in all the games of one sport, or most of the games of two sports show good sportsmanship, and receive the recommendation of their coach, The interscholastic sports in which the girls took part are volley- ball, tennis, and softball. In the fall, together with the Varsity G, the Girls' Letter club sponsored a very successful barn dance. The gym was decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, and other farm products. Students dressed ac- cordingly, A very entertaining program was given for the dancers. During intermission, the girls sold doughnuts and cider. N As another means of raising money for the club's various activities, the girls sold blue hats with white feathers to the students in the halls. These were worn at games and other school activities. At the physical education circus in February, the club furnished the refreshments concession. The girls dressed as clowns and sales girls to distribute the refreshments. In early spring the Grants Pass Girls' Letter club met with the Medford Girls' Athletic Association to discuss means of raising money. They enjoyed a social afternoon together. The main purpose of the Girls' Letter club is to promote fair play and good sportsmanship at all school activities and create a spirit of cooperation. 60 Yell Leaders: Henry Howard, LeRene Thompson, lflflwin Marting First Row: Turner, Metcalf, Ferris, Dressel, Dimmit-k, Love.

These are the standards of the Grants Pass high school Pep club reorganized this year under the leadership of Bernice Leinen, president, Marjory Vannice. vice presi- dent, Elva Love, secretaryg Marie Reinhart, treasurer, Marjorie Fall, student council representative, and Miss Louise Pursley, adviser. A committee consisting of two members and two teachers chose thirty-five industrious girls to start the new Pep club. Later a few more active girls were voted in by members to replace vacancies. The main purpose of the Pep club is to promote school spirit and enthusiasm at sports activities-football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, baseball, and track. They organized the pep sections at home and out of town. The girls ushered and distributed programs at all home football games. They also decorated the gymnasium with crepe paper in the opponents colors and the Caveman blue and white for all home basketball games In order to raise money to carry on their activities the Pep club sold pop corn balls, ice cream drum sticks, pennants, blue and white pennants, and candy. The Pep club had charge of all pep assemblies, under the man- agement of Ed Martin, yell leader. Two assembly programs were given in which the girls participated. One was a weird witch drama, in which the white paper spirits of the football players were called onto the stage via a clothesline and joined together to make a cooper- ative team. In the other program, the girls enacted the right and wrong way to act in a basketball rooting section. This year, attractive new outfits were chosen by the girls. They were of velveteen blue flared skirts with white long sleeved iackets. These made the girls look very impressive and they accentuated the school colors with a fine attitude of school spirit. 61 Below the Pep elub girls are hang- ing the big 'G in preparing the gym for a basketball game, encir- eled is Pep club president, Berniece Leinen. 57' Wm Wifi' First Row: Robert Yeo.

M. C. A., a national mens organization. These student divisions are clubs formed in schools throughout the nation and organized into a national organizaf tion. During January, Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass met at Medford for induction services for new members of the three clubs. Induction services are formal initiarions held in the form of candle- light ceremonies. ln the middle of the school year the club doubled the number of its members, increasing it to thirty-two members. The qualifica- tions to enter the club are: respect for faculty and student body, will- ingness to work, high Christian ideals, and scholarship, Leadership is also important. Members of the club discuss the possible prospects for membership and then vote upon them, lf the prospects are ap- proved, they become members of the club, The numerous performances undertaken this year kept the club busy all year. The annual Hi-Y dance held in january proved to be successful as did the assembly which came later. The new members of the club felt that the assembly was their informal initiation Tag week, which is the selling of triangular tags. bearing Hi-Y printed upon them, promoted a week of joviality. Tag week was brought to a close bv the Hi-Y auction. Always a reliable source of revenue, the Hi-Y auction deals with the selling of lost articles that have been turned into the office and unclaimed by their owners during the vear. Another ictivity was the club's meetings at night for entertainment and speakers. Members aided the student body by assuming the duty of slowing down student traffic in the halls. The officers of the Hi-Y club were: Bill Davis, presidentg Harold Bormuth, vice-president, and Don Martin, secretarvg with Robert Yeo acting as adviser. 62 N FIRST ROW: Kile, An- nis.

One method used in teaching members proper conduct was the presenting of skits in the form of a contest, with a prize given for the best skit and also to the individual who detected the greatest number of errors in etiquette in the presentations. In the art of introductions, demonstrations were given before the group. This year, the club was fortunate in having sev- eral outstanding members of the local community speak before the group on manners and experiences. Members of the club gave special reports before the group on various phases of etiquette, also. At the beginning of the year students were giv- en self-grading charts which helped the student in realizing what his manners lacked and in improving ihem. A list of l29 questions, such as: Should one wait for a sign of recognition before interrupting 63 a busy pers0r1? , lf there was no one at the punch bowl at a formal dance, would you serve the punch to you and your partner? : and How would you introduce your friend to your mother? were given each member to answer. Some other topics, table manners dance etiquette, and pleasant courtesies, fur- nished discussion at the meetings. Because of the increased membership this vear, the club was divided into two groups of the upper division and the lower division, meeting once every two weeks, separately. To raise money for finances the lower club sold popcorn in the school halls at noon, and the up- per division club sold ice cream and candy at bas- ketball games. Officers for the upper division club this year were: Peggy Leonard, president, Arlene Annis, sec- retary, and Mary jean Dunbar, student council re- presentative. Lower division officers were: Dorothy Fowler, president, Adeline Clark. secretary: Mable Feiring, vice-president, and Dorothy Draper, student council representative. FRONT RONV: G.

Assisting him this year were: David Steere, secretary-treasurer, and Billie Wilhelm as student-council representative. Altogether there were about nine members in the club this year, all of whom paid their dues in full. The club meets about once every two weeks to discuss such things as business pertaining to their candy sales in the old building, expenses for the year, and problems pertaining to equipment and building of their receiving and sending sets. A. B. Collett, adviser of the club is also one of the general science teachers in the high school. He has been adviser for the club since its organiza- tion several years ago. CAREER CLUB The Career club, composed mostly of senior students, is led by Geraldine Collier, presidentg Ma- vis Brelsford, secretary, and Vernon Trimble, adviser. This club originated this year under the guidance of Mr. Trimble, the senior English teacher lor the pur- pose of informing students about their vocations. They met in room 3 of the new building once or twice a month for oral reports of members or talks by outside speakers. In the Career club each student was given some- thing to do. He worked for his own good and was responsible for a written or an oral report on his vocation during the year. Some of the vocations dis- cussed were radio, art, music, beauty culture, and aviation. At various times, visitors were asked to talk on their vocation, describing its advantages and possi- bilities for high school graduates.

Not only do the members have the opportunity to pre- sent their dramatic ability, but they present their own productions, giving experience in writing. di- recting, stage managing, and make up, This club is an essential part of the activity list of Grants Pass high school and promotes an at- titude of bigger and better productions in the future. LOWER DIVISION GLEE CLUB For the second consecutive year, the lower di- vision Glee club has taken an active part in school life. The club is divided into three groups: girls, boys, and mixed. The officers for the girls' lower division Glee club for the year were Jean Ringuette, president, and Janice Neely, secretary. The officers for the boys' lower division Glee club were: Chester Carlson, presidentg john Voor- hies, vice-president, Dick Flickinger, secretary, Billy Higgins, treasurer, and Allan Riebel, student council representative. Early in May, the lower division Glee club gave it successful performance of their operetta. The Ghost of Lollipop Bay. This was under the direc- tion of Miss Anne Barton, Miss Ruth Kelly, and Miss Myrtle Birchet. The club also participated in the annual music festival in Ashland. These boys' and girls' voices are being trained very capably by R. Cloyd Riffe, and much may be expected from them in the future.

The situation seems hopeless, but the young people believe that Dr. Kimball might be approach- able if he knew that Chucks Aunt Kate CMarian Han- sonj, who made millions in oil wells, would endow the college with a new library. Their plan only re- sults in confusing Dr. Kimball with the impersona- tions by Mrs. Stubbs QPhyllis Husseyj and Florence Ward QNancy Brownellj, a newspaper woman after a story. Aunt Kate finally arrives and proves to be a sensible, likeable person. She sees that everyone gets his just dues, including Chuck, Cuthbert, Dr. Stubbs, and the college. Humor is provided by Mrs. Kimball QNorma McClellanD, who is always nagging Gladys to con- tinue her work. Miss Faye Thompson and Miss Daphne Matt- hews directed the play.

The action takes place in the garden of the Mc- Intyre's home, where all of the neighborhood youths gather. When Terry, who is just going on 16, is out- cast from her brother's clique of boys, she plans to attract her friend, Brain CFaxton Castleberryp, in a more subtle and civilized fashion. At her party, which is also a reward to George for undergoing a tonsillectomy, she attempts to imitate the wiles of Prudence Darling CDoris Lynnj, a new girl in the neighborhood who seems to be monopolizing the at- tentions of all the boys, including George, Brian, and Dutch CGayle Nicholsj who attends the party without the knowledge of Patty Cjeannette Mc- Guirej, his steady. Complications arise on the evening of the party, when Elsie C Rowena Smithj, an awkward, unpopular girl, attending the party at the instance of her mother, Mrs. Patterson QShir- ley McCollumJ, reveals the presence of Dutch to Patty, who has come to confirm her suspicions that Dutch is at the Mclntyres' and also to the traffic officer CCharles Pixleyb who mistakes him for George, whom he has trailed there. George has driven through traffic lights in his hurry to re- turn with ice cream for his mother in time for the next dance with Prudence. When the traffic offi- cer insults, Prudence, George strikes him, for which he is taken to jail, accompanied by the other boys, leaving the girls alone and terrified. Although this leaves things looking pretty dark, the third act solves the dilemma by recon- ciling Dutch and Patty, uniting Terry and Brian, and safely bringing George through his troubles, leaving the parents of George and Terry with a better understanding of their children. Other characters in the play were friends of the McIntyre children: Jane CAmy Prudenj, Omar C Sid Wheelerj, Hal CA C Edwardsj, Pete CDale Gilbertj, Miriam Cjean Pottsj, and the maid, Sophie CKathryn Fordl.

The thrilling mo- ments of our athletic contests will continue in our memory along with other favorite phases of school life. Coach Loren Tuttle, graduate of Oregon State college, coach of varsity football and also teacher of the boys' gym and health classes, completed his fifth year of teaching in Grants Pass high school. From Oregon State college also George Hib- bard is the varsity basketball and tennis coach and assists in baseball. This is Hib's fifth year of teaching in Grants Pass. Coach George Erickson, of Willamette college, and four years a teacher at Grants Pass high. is the varsity coach and assists in football and basketball. Spending her second year here, Miss Louise Pursley, graduate of the University of Oregon, taught girls' athletics and gym and health classes. Coach Otis Wilson, from Kansas State. teaches lower division boys' gym and health classes as he has done for the past seven years. He is assisted in training his junior varsity football team by James Keith, of Albany college, who is also coach of track and lower division athletics. Arnold Bernard, graduate of University of Ore- gon, replaced Mr. Tuttle in coaching track and gym classes. This is Mr. Bernard's first year here. lla-low :il the le-fl are the managers of girls' sports: Jean Volts, Marian Fampbell, and Bernie-ve Lit-nt-ng in the n't-ntvr are zuzimixers of boys' sports: Gene Furlliinfl, Jerrl' Zfflfflllfr Bull HHf'i'l10W00rl, :intl -Sum liluvlii R11 UW riirht :ire the yell leaders: Henry Howard, LaRene Thompson, and ltltl Martin. -i 'A .2 F ni Num H+ 'Y 1 fl A in lfczrsity ootfnczff eason The 1940 football season marked one of the best seasons since 1950, out of a total of eight games played, the Cavemen won six, lost one, and tied one ending the season in second place in the Southern Oregon Conference-incidentally, one of the strongest conferences of the state of Oregon. In producing this great team, Coach Loren Tuttle and Assistant Coach George Erickson must be commended greatly for their fine work with the players. September 14, the Cavemen started their season with Dunsmuir at McCloud, and emerged on the top end of a closely played game 7-6. ,The following week, September 20, North Bend,was snowed under on the Grants Pass gridiron by the overwhelming score of 18-0. On September 27, one week after the North Bend tilt, Ashland invaded the Cavemen lair and almost succeeded in winning, but the Cavemen fought them to a standstill after both teams had threatened to score several times. All of this resulted in a blank for both teams, O-0, Journeying down to Medford, October 4, the locals lost a thrill-packed game, 6-20, after losing the services of halfback jep Clayton in the first quarter. This injury forced ujepl' to remain out of football for the rest of the season. Pushing into the lead in the initial period, the Cavemen really scared the Medford Tigers. Medford then took over the spotlight by staging a long run and kicking the extra point to make it 6-7 in favor of Medford at halftime. Coming out after the rest period, Medford ran over two more scores to win 20-6. After suffering the defeat from Medford, the gladiators bounced back into winning form by dumping Marshfield on October 12, 12-0 in Coos bay territory. October 25, provided the high light of the season when the Cavemen swamped Klamath Falls at Klamath, 18-6. Playing on a cold wet field, the Cavemen completely outclassed the Pelicans. Although this game marked the most important victory of the season, the service of co-captain and end, Don Moyer, was lost for the year. Now feeling like champions, the Cavemen took on the Roseburg Indians on Arm- istice day. It was soon found that Roseburg didn't have a chance, Grants Pass winning 34-0. November 21, the Corvallis Spartans ended up the season by being sent home on the short end of the score, the Cave dwellers turning them back 19-0. 5 Below is a shot of the Medford game played This picture is also of the Medford rants there, with a Medford man carrying the ball.

Bill was placed on the All Conference first team by the almost unanimous consent of coaches and sport writers from Medford, Ashland, Klamath Falls, and Grants Pass. Other players from Grants Pass who were placed on the All Conference first team were Owen CDukej Badley, who was chosen as guard, and Don Moyer, as an end. Those placing on the All Conference second team were Cur- ly Bormuth, center, and Chub Clark, tackle. Honorable mention was given Aggie Martin, end, Ellis Inman, guard, and Walt Lamphear, tackle. All of these players are seniors and consequently will be missed tremendously next year. At this time the prospects for next year are not too bright, as twelve lettermen are graduating, but transfers, holdovers, and returning lettermen may make the 1941 season a success. V... 1 tl?

Out of twenty-one games played, there were only four triumphs for the local quintet, which included only one conference victory. Ashland was the only conference team to succumb to the home teams attack all year. The score of that fa game was 32 to 29 for Grants Pass. This year marked the addition of Roseburg to the Southern Oregon district, which now includes Medford, Ashland, Roseburg and Grants Pass. This is in effect for basketball only, however. The team winning the district championship has the honor of representing Southern Oregon in the Oregon state basketball tournament at Salem. Roseburg with an unusually tall team captured the district laurels this year. Beginning the season Coach Hibbards proteges started out brilliantly by trouncing Central Point twice, 40 to l2 and 25 to lO. After the Central Point contests, Dunsmuir invaded the Caveman ter- ritory. whipping us, after a very hard-fought, game, 25 to 20. During the Christmas vacation the basket- tossers traveled over to Marshfield and Myrtle Point and succeeded in beating Marshfield 31 to 2l but lost to the other opponent 55 to l7. The rest of the season was quite dismal, except for the last game of the season when, after a very exciting and close game, the Cavemen finally came out on top. over Ashland. Of the nine lettermen there are five returning next year. Of these five returning plavers, three are juniors and two are sophomores. The juniors are: Strowbridge, Havard, and Everton, sophomores are: Gray and Martindale. The four graduating seniors are: Davis, Martin, Bormuth, and Moyer. Although the season was quite unsuccessful much respect must be paid to these graduating players for their spirited playing. Wfith so man' lettermen returning the outlook for next year is try good. Also there are some very promisinzi ' layers from this years junior var- sity and freaizz s. ii teams. In picking the allaconference teams the sports- writers and coaches of Southern Oregon placed only one Caveman player on either of the two teams- Johnny Gray, sophomore guard, who was placed on the all-conference second team.

In accordance with the number of returning lettermen the outlook for this season was not too bright, as there were only three returning lettermen -Ray Clayton, Ken Williams, and Everett Stuts- man. Coach George Erickson designated this year as the build-up year and expects great success during the following season. He especially worked to build pitchers and catchers as all of last years battery graduated. Among the promising players for last season's nine were: catchers-Gene Farthing, Gerald Ed- wards, and Clyde Blevins, hurlers-Bud jerke, Wil- lard Maloney, and Russell Martindaleg infielders- Ray Clayton, Everett Stutsman, Chet Lathrop, john- ny Gray, and Gaylord Smithg and outfielders- Ken Williams, Dick Skow, Walt Lamphear, and Clyde Blevins. The schedule at the beginning of the season was to include games with Medford, Ashland, Klam- ath Falls, Central Point, Roseburg, Gold Hill, and Myrtle Point. Early games played with the Rogue River nine and the Gold Hill team ended 18-1 and 5-2 respectively in favor of the Cavemen. Last spring Coach Erickson's proteges played 12 games and lost only one. Included in their victories was a double killing of Klamath Falls. When the Caveman team played the Medford high team the first time on the local field, they sent the Tiger team home defeated. However, the Tiger team clawed their way to a victory during the return game at Medford.

Track included, as usual, the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash, the 440, and 880, and the mile, the shot put, the discus, the javelin, the high jump, the pole vault, hurdles, and various relays. About twenty-five boys turned out for track, including the lower division proteges. Special em- phasis was put on lower division participation in track this spring with the purpose of training them for future seasons. Most of these boys looked like pretty good potential material. Practice was hamp- ered very greatly by the absence of a suitable track, since the preparation for turfing the football field left the team without the proper facilities for tfalfllflg. The first meet scheduled for the year was the annual Hayward relays held in Eugene, April ll. Last year the Grants Pass high school track team took the BH division trophy, which means that if they win the trophy again this year, it will belong to them permanently. Although prospects do not look very promising, there are some hopes for their success at this meet. Other meets scheduled for the year included possible dual meets with Roseburg and Ashland, a meet with Yreka, California, and the usual district meet held in Medford this year. There is some possibility of participation in state meets by a few of the local boys. The loss of ep Clayton, last year's state winner of the 100 ash, lessens this chance somewhat, and also takes down the chances of winning other meets a good deal.

After practicing about three weeks, the squad defeated the' ikshland Grizzly Cubs-1-4-twill on the local gridiron, October 11. Merle Halaas made the first touchdown in the game, and also ran 7 yards for the second touchdown. Particularly good blocking was executed by the team during this game. At Ashland, the freshman eleven defeated the op- posing squad 12 to 6 on their field. The team then encountered the Medford squad on the home field on October 51, and were de- feated 19 to 7. A week later, November 7, the squad again clashed with the Medford eleven on the Medford field, and were defeated 31 to 12. Spectacular football was shown by Ray Scriber when he made an 80 yard run, and by Halaas in a 40 yard run. Merle Halaas, a sophomore, was about the best half-back in the freshman conference. Halaas made all the points in the first two games. Being hurt in the first Medford game, he did not make any points, but he scored a touchdown in the Medford game played there. Ray Scriber, a freshman, and fullback for the team made a touchdown in the last Medford game. Wayne Talbot, an eighth grader, played right half position very well, playing in all the games. Gaylord Smith, freshman, and Clare CPeteb Conner, also a frosh, alternated at quarterback. Donald Ausland, eighth grader, played first string center in most of the games. Right guard was played by Glenn QBudD Lam- phear, a, freshman, right tackle by Clyde Blevins freshmarg right end by Elmer lrlembree, freshman, left guard by Robert Reames, freshman, left tackle by Bob Hamilton, and left end by Culver Marshall, both freshmen. Substitutes who played were: Merwin Spald- ing, Orville Brown, Conley Marshall, Carl Boesch, Marion Kane, jim Warf, and Philip Courant. Otis H. Wilson was head coach, with James Keith as assistant coach. These two turned out some well trained boys for varsity prospects at the end of three years. In the freshman conference the team played four games, which meant that a player had to play sixty minutes to receive a letter. The following boys were lettermen: Ray Scriber, Wayne Talbot, Gaylord Smith, Clare CPeteD Conner, Donald Ausland, Glenn Lam- phear, Clyde Blevins, Elmer Hembree, Robert Reames, Bob Hamilton, Culver Marshall, Merwin Spalding, Carl Boesch, and jim Warf. The prospects for next year's football team are fair. Although some will not be eligible, a few let- termen will probably turn out for the varsitv team. This year, a new system of awarding letters to eighth graders has been inaugurated. Heretofore, eighth graders have not been allowed to turn out for junior varsity football.

The next was played in the home gym, where the home team defeated the Kerby team 25-16. The squad also played Rogue River two or three times winning all encounters. All the boys turning out for practice during the season were: Gaylord Smith, Donald Furchner, Elmer Hembree, Culver Marshall, Merwin Spalding, Ray Scriber, Conley Marshall, Jim Graham, Paul Lacanette, Bill Moores and Philip Courant. The boys practiced in the old high school gym every school night possible on one half of the floor while the other half was taken up by the eighth grade teams' practice. 1 Z I af xi! t If 's .8 I' Lt NR M I ...,, A age A L env- Q, -. ,ag KNI'ZlCl.INtl: Coutunt, Conger, Furehner, Everton: STA NIDING: Coat-h George Hibbard, Bormuth, XVright, Sor- ensen, Moyer, Strowbriflge, Havard. if I ennzs eason tarts Only two returning lettermen, Bob Havard and Prominent players this year will probably in- Bennett Wright showed up for the beginning of the clude: Bob Havard, Bennett Wright Ray Strow- tennis season this spring.

Rather than being an independent high school group, it is now a branch of the Siskiyou club, formed mostly of high school students under the advisership of Lenn Pierson. Mr. Pierson is also the president of the Siskiyou club and organized high school ski fans for the first time last year. Al- though the club held no regular meetings this year because of its new arrangement, several open meet- ings were held under the leadership of Dave Pruess to arouse interest in skiing in other high school stu- dents. In these meetings, held during activity per- iods in the old high school building, Dave explained and demonstrated points concerning ski equipment and other questions relative to the sport. The high Below at the left ski tfluh member.

High school participants in the Grants Pass day activities at Crater Lake, a popular ski ground, car- ried off several honors. Highest skiing honors in class A went to Lenn Pierson, who was first in Class A men's slalom and second in the cro5s-coun- try contest. Virginia Pollock won the women's class B honors.

September '14 starts a most successful football season with only 1 loss, 1 tie, and 6 wins. The new red, white and, blue suits rally pep for both team and student body. Big sister takes little sister to an indoor wien- er roast on September 26. Some fun! On October 5, we think we are in Hawaii, but it is just another well plan- ned senior reception. Pep, talent and leader- ship are outstanding at the l o w e r division carnival held on October 12. The first day of Nov- ember finds a newly en- larged Scroll. Some class. Early November is cold, so are the football play- ers! A gift of 27 side- line coats from local busi- nessmen is much appre- ciated.

Fun galore at the annual physical education circus held February 28. 1941 : Qxofenolor We'll have green grass next year. That's what we hear the first week of March, when the students accept the plan to raise money for the turf field. The lower division play, Too Many Maskersf' presented on March 7, shows nice dramatic tal- ent. Big turnout in early March for boys' baseball, shows hopes to maintain previous standards. Tryouts which started in the middle of March, find 5 of last years regu- lar players returning for women's tennis season. The third week of March finds all students out to get their fill of snow burn, sun tan, and the inevitable poison oak. Yes, your're right! It's spring vacation. A successful presenta- tion of Gilbert and Sulli- van's Pirates of Pen- zance on March 27-28, proves again the Glee club's ability in undertak- ing hard things with the able leadership of 'Proff' Riffe.

Ol'pS C1465 DCALUL For the first time in its history Grants Pass high school was the proud possessor of a girls' drum and bugle corps, organized this year under the leadership of Miss Louise Pursley, girls' athletic coach, with a donation by the American Legion Auxiliary to aid in financing the activities of the corps. The drum and bugle crops now consists of twelve buglers, six drummers, one bass drummer and one majorette. Musical and drill practice was carried out on the girls own time under the direction of Martin Trepte, high school band and or chestra instructor and Arthur Cockrum. Mr. Trepte instructed the girl's practice of musical scores and Mr. Cockrum directed their drill practice. Miss Pursley acted as adviser to the club. Practice vias car ried on during free periods and after school, drill being practiced in doors and out for football and basketball games. their debut at the first conference game held here. to its utmost, The group designed and constructed their own costumes with partial aid of a dressmaker. Their drill dress was an ensemble of blue and white school colors. The corps made a picturesque scene in their tall white hats, white military jackets, and blue skirts In these um forms they performed for basketball games during the season making In May the girls participated in a contest in Medford which was an elimination for state competition of similar groups This being the first group of its kind in the high school there were a great many obstacles to overcome, but the girls were interested and enthusiastic in their work, and the student body supported them I f FRONT ROYV: Harper, Fuller, Shier, Young, XVheeler, Smith, Rive, Miller, RACK RUXV: Hilbert XVile3, m'o:rc'li, Farthing, Inman, Martin, NVQ-is, Allison.

It was composed mainly of sophomores, with a few juniors and seniors on the squad. Primarily, the team was organized to give sev- eral boys a chance to participate in basketball who would otherwise not be able to enjoy this opportunity. Practices were held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after school at the Riverside gym. Any boy of the high school, not a member of the varsity squad, was welcome to attend. The squad usually num- bered from fifteen to twenty players. Divided into two teams, AH and B , the players went ahead to play several teams around Grants Pass and vicinity. The A team won seven games and lost one, and the B team won three and lost only one. The opponents of the A team included: Clarks Come- dians, Super Varsity, F. C. A., Freshmen, Jerome Prairie, Eighth Grade, and others. Next year Conch Wiley intends to schedule games with different B schools around Grants Pass, such as Rogue River, Kerby, etc. If possible, better facilities for practice will be arranged.
