In our hearts are these words: You have seen, or you are soon to see, men die. Will you return to view once more the hills and valleys that you love . . . to see the river flowing toward the sea in eagerness, as a youth in batde? Will you behold again the things that are your way of life—the things that you are fighting for? Or will you fall, becoming a part of history, leaving behind nothing but glory and tears and emptiness? You are so young . . . it is difficult to see you as a man standing with a gun on one side and death on the other. Our consolation is that God is with you, too. Yes, these are the words entrenched within our hearts . . . Words that are not uttered lest they be thought unbrave by some poor fool who doesn't know that courage comes from some place deep within the human soul. [ 4 ] In Memory of Captain John Hampshire With reverence and respect we set aside this page in memory of Captain Hampshire. He is but one man from many who have given their lives that we might once more live in peace . . . But in him is the spirit typical of all who have gone, and he shall forever be a symbol, guiding us in our struggle for righteousness and freedom. ('A IT AIN JOHN HAMPSHIRE, who wan killed In action in China May 2. 1943. was graduated with the das of 1936 from Crantn P a hifch nchool. In a letter to Captain Hampshire's father, John F. Hampshire, Colonel B. K. Hollaway said: Through his loss we have become more determined to bring this conflict to a swift conclusion . . . By his skill and dauntless courage. as a flight leader he was an inspiration to all, and was loved and respected by officers and enlisted personnel alike . . . When the annals of history are unfolded and you read of the accomplishments of this Group you may rightfully and proudly feel that your son played a major part in our final victory. [ 5 ] The Times That Try Men’s Souls The men were cold at Valley Forge. Yet, their hearts were warm for they knew they were right and they knew they would win. They remembered a young member of the Virginia Legislature who once said: Give me liberty, or give me death.” A tall, slim man stood at Gettysburg, and with the calm power of an eagle he tied a nation together with a few simple words: Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. And there were men at Wake Island, outnumbered many times, sweating . . . bleeding . . . dying . . . Their voices rose to a tremendous, resonant turbulence: Send us more Japs! they cried, for they knew they were right, and they remembered what the Virginia Legislator and the man at Gettysburg and all the rest had said. This is Worth Fighting For Yet, typical of Americas high school students, we have clung to traditions, and because of this, the 1944 TOKA has been published. It is part of our way of life; in its humble way, the TOKA is one of the things for which we are fighting. AMERICAN WATCHWORDS was chosen the theme because, though deeds are often forgotten, there are some inspiring words that will live for eternity. Treat it with re?pea because, like our freedom, the TOKA is something that Hitler or Tojo can not take from us. BELOW: On Remember Pearl Harbor Day. students eagerly purchased war stamps which were used for admission to a student talent assembly. Featured during the program was the Hl-Y auction, with bidding being done in stamps. Out of a year of stamp sales, salvage drives, rationing, military drilling, vigorous physical educa tion schedules, and a multitude of other aaivities connected with this Fight For Freedom has emerged a different, more serious Grants Pass high school student body—students who can think and work, as well as play, for we have heard of Pearl Harbor and Corregidor. ABOVE: Last fall, many students contributed their time and efforts toward helping with Ration Book four registration. CENTER: Varsity G and Girls' Letter Club worked up the competitive spirit between the boys and the gir.s, thereby making the old clothes salvage a real success.

Principal Administration Leaders This year saw a major change in the administration heads when Miss Lilian Fosbery resigned her duties as clerk because of her health. However, she remained as secretary to Superintendent M. B. Winslow, who assumed the responsibilities of clerk along with his other activities. Miss Fosbery has been clerk many years, and the TOKA staff wishes to express to her the appreciation of Grants Pass high school for the loyalty and efficiency she has displayed. HARRIS, U.D.

Miss Princess Egbert, and Mrs. Richard Brewster pictured above. Teachers Give Aid To War Activities The life of a teacher at Grants Pass high school during the school year of 1943-44 was a hectic one indeed, for faculty members were not content just providing for students the guidance behind that thing abstractly called an education, but many of them entered into outside activities, of which helping in the war effort headed the list. Outstanding member of this group was probably Principal Henry E. Tetz who headed the salvage drives, as well as participating in many other community activities. In the summer of 1943, Mr. Tetz helped with the harvest on his father’s farm. New vice-principal of the school this year was Frank Thomas, who was an aircraft spotter and on the reserve police. W. S. Carpenter, who was formerly vice-principal, had his hands full teaching agriculture and advising the F.F.A., as well as supervising the community cannery and adult education. During the summer. Miss Daphne Matthews instructed classes in aircraft identification. She was adviser for the TOKA and the senior class this year.

Miss Smith, and Miss Parr A ncw-comcr to Grants Pass high school this year was Robert Wilms, who was employed as a mechanic by the Northrup Aircraft Corporation during the vacation. Miss Esther Fox, another new member of the faculty, has been a blood donor. Working in a survey crew for the state highway kept A. B. Collett busy last summer. This year Mr. Collett was adviser for the freshman class. Radio club, and Ticket squad. LANGUAGE Teachers Mrs. Rose Hayward. Spanish, and Miss Alvera Brookman. Latin, •‘look at the birdie. ’ Among those who spent the summer vacation helping to relieve the labor shortage was Miss Marion Sanders, who worked in an office at the Jantzen knitting mills in Portland, Oregon. Miss Sanders was adviser for the SCROLL. J. P. Miller, who substituted for Nelson Van Matre part of the year, was attached to the Army signal corps and instructed the radio classes. Mr. Van Matre was ill at the time pictures were taken, so it was impossible to include his photo. Warren Bailey instructed aeronautics and advised the Forestry club, which had charge of the school forest. Space permits only the mention of a few faculty members, but this story is presented to show a cross-section of the entire group and is meant as a tribute to them all.

Keeping with the spirit of the day, decoration In the new gym carried out a military theme.

The class was led by Gaylord Snuffy Smith, president; Paul Lacanette, vice-president; Mary Prosser, secretary-treasurer; and Culver Marshall, student council representative. To honor new students, the class presented a reception during school hours on October 15. The Senior Ball, a memorable formal held November 13, effectively carried out a military theme. Christmas traditions were recalled by an Information Please quiz program during the senior assembly December 23. Activities during senior week, climaxed by baccalaureate and commencement, made the last few days of school especially busy ones for the class. [ 19 ] K Adams, Gloria Gene .

Although they passed through pan of the year without a couple of officers, things were finally straightened out, and the class of ’45 got down to business under the guidance of John Voorhies, president; Patty Smith, vice-president; Barbara Bauer, secretary-treasurer; and Catherine Wise, student council representative. One of the outstanding achievements of the year was the presentation of the junior class play, Husband for Sale, a hilarious comedy. Undaunted enthusiasm and spirit on the part of both the cast and directors went into this project. Other class activities included the Junior prom, an annual affair, which was successfully carried out in the spring. At Commencement in May, the junior girls, attired in pastel formals, carried the traditional rose arches, under which the graduates passed. C 30 ] ?}' 1 arr- Mauldlng. McCleary. Jones. Messinger.

Laurels went to the sophomores also for their finesse in decorating the field for football games. The informal shindig” held December 3. was the big date on the sophomore social calendar, although the class of '46 was also responsible for planning the dance after the Medford football game, the Washington's birthday assembly program, and decorations for senior baccalaureate services. Leading these various activities were Jack Lutz, president; Les Fredrickson, vice-president; Vee Alice Gibson, secretary; and Claire Lee Ogle, student council representative.

Seventh Graders Set Tradition LEADERS chosen by the seventh graders for their first year as a class of Grants Pass high school were Phyliss Hertford, secretary-treasurer; GeraJd Esters, president: Betty Jo Fran , vice-president; and Lynn Smith, student council representative, who is in front of the group. Similar to the Forty-niners of the old days, the class of 1949 showed a pioneer spirit this year by establishing what will perhaps become a tradition of the seventh grade classes in years to come. This was the Christmas party on December 17, during which the students enjoyed games, refreshments, and exchanging gifts. Leading the class were Gerald Eggers, president, supported by Betty Jo Franz, vice-president; Phyliss Heriford, secretary-treasurer; and Lynn Smith, student council representative. Although the Forty-niners'’ were newcomers to Grants Pass high school this year, they quickly adjusted themselves to their new environment and gave invaluable aid in stamp sales and other drives. They also put their hearts into selling tickets to a magician show, the proceeds of which retired the last turf bonds. [ 38 ] FIRST ROW: More. H. O'Neal. Hertford. Harader. Johnson. Jackson. Hunt. S.

[ 46 ] Although Einstein’s theory is still a trifle hazy to some of the members of the National Honor society, nevertheless high standards of scholarship are maintained, along with the qualities of character, leadership, and service, for these are the four points upon which membership is judged. Projects during the year included the compiling of an honor roll for the first semester, and the founding of a Junior National Honor society for students in the lower division. This was established on the same plan as the regular organization. National Honor girls also ushered for school events. Howard Lovell was president during the first semester, while Gene Scherffius handled the gavel the second term. Miss A. Claire Dunn was adviser.

Under the leadership of Don Furchner, president, and Henry Tetz, adviser, the local Hi-Y members presented a mock trial before the assembly. Everett Harding, executive secretary of the northwest, was present.

[ 48 ] Selling corsages made from war stamps, the Future Business and Professional Women did their share on the home front. This served a double purpose, as the money from these sales was used to buy the typing and shorthand awards given to high school students at the end of the year. On December 14 this club met with the Business and Professional Women down-town for a Christmas party held in the library auditorium. The event of the year was a club breakfast at the Redwoods hotel on valentines morning. Wielding the gavel was Johnita Russell, with Roberta Bestul, vice-president; Kathleen McCollum, secretary; Frances Ditty, treasurer; Frances Lium, student council representative; Miss Esther Fox, adviser.

Everything has run smoothly, and the credit goes to the Girls’ Letter club, who has helped organize and officiate at these athletic events. Under the leadership of Gloria Gene Adams, president; Frances Hussey, vice-president, Joy Howard, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Edna Glines, adviser, the girls have finished an active year. The letterwomen successfully advertised for, collected, sorted, folded, and packed the many pounds of old clothes brought by the students for the salvage drive. HOCKEY wax taken seriously by our feminine athletes last fall [ 50 ] To belong to the club, the girls must have at least a letter in one sport played in the athletics class held third period. Exclusively a haven for the supermen’’ of Grants Pass high school, the Varsity G boasts only lettermen as its members. All those who have played football, basketball, baseball, track, or tennis, and have received their letter are eligible for this elite organization. At present about 28 members are claimed. Letterclub projects during the school year included assisting war drives and sponsoring several dances. Rugcutters at the annual Sadie Hawkins shindig in the fall came garbed Dogpatch style.

A. boys SURVEYING the bus shed grounds for graveling was one of the projects of the agriculture boys. With the future of American agriculture in their hands, the Future Farmers of America have worked hard this year to be worthy of their name. Achieving many honors in state contests, the F.F.A. boys won high praise. Early in the year, LaVerne Pollock placed third in the better farming contest for the southern Oregon district. In the state farm shop contest, Bob Taylor placed fourth. Attending the state convention in May, held at Corvallis, was Elmo Shepard, president. The outstanding activity of the year was the annual Father and Son banquet held in February. Officers not before mentioned were Don Jackson, vice-president; Bill Hunter, secretary; and Bob Taylor, treasurer. Adviser was W. S. Carpenter. t t e p ft [ 52 ] z—n—z—Z—Z—Z—Z-Z—Z—Z- r . i On the assembly line of American production, Future Craftsmen of Oregon have assumed a more important position this year. Oren Masters, instructor, stated that the purpose of the trades class is to prepare students for work in various trades and professions by part time training in shops and offices of the community, and yet to give them an opportunity to have a well-balanced education. To round out their training the boys exchanged places this spring with the homemaking girls to learn the fundamentals of cooking and caring for the kitchen, while the homemaking class carried out a project in home mechanics. Because of gasoline rationing the first aid contest regularly held in Portland was cancelled.

With a swish and a whirl the Pep club added glamour with their song leaders, Ilene McClellan, Gerry Dostalik, and Jane Thompson, who designed attractive costumes in blue and white. Also working to build school spirit were the yell leaders Joanne Smith, Wanda Dressel, and Ramona Rice who were awarded their megaphone emblems. The Pepsters got in step with the March of Dimes by selling tabs for the infantile paralysis fund. Regular business of the club was the annual initiation in October and decorating for football and basketball games. Officers were Gloria Gene Adams, president; Barbara Butler, vice-president: Jean Probst, secretary-treasurer; Jean Hahn, sergeant-at-arms; Connie Rudd, student representative.

Informal initiation of new members came in February; F.F.A. boys were guests at a colorful valentine party; and members co-operated with the Girls' League in directing the style show for the Mothers' rea in the spring. Leaders for the club were Rebecca Lindsay, president; Shirley Bolinger, vice-president; Betty Pruitt, secretary; Zona Agee, treasurer; Margaret Campbell, student council representative; Joanne Walker, program chairman; Oleita Conrad, historian; Mabel Kinnion, custodian, and Mrs. Frances Leep and Mrs. Marian Brewster, advisers.

[ 56 ] Disentangling themselves from a mixture of flats and sharps, musical notes, clarinets, drums, et cetera, ad infinitum, band and orchestra musicians finished the year in the same vigorous manner with which they began it. The band is by far the busiest organization in school for they are in training during the entire year. The band concert was cancelled this year, but the musicmakers presented an assembly in March for the student body, to which the townspeople were invited. The band also played for all the home football and basketball games. The orchestra provided music for all plays given in the gym by either high school or grade school groups.

We Congregate At the Rogue Den A soft-drink fountain, ping-pong cards, ind dancing at the Rogue Den keep the teen-agers of this community of Grants Pass busy. A group of local businessmen presented the plan of organizing the club last fall to the executive board of our school, where it was enthusiastically received Then a group of students was appointed to work with the men so that the club would be really representative of the students' desires. The Cave Shop was secured for the location, and the name Rogue Den was selected by the high school students. On November 20 the club opened, and student volunteers did the soda jerking. The Rogue Den is certainly visible proof of the interest of the community in its youth, and it is a project of which everyone should be proud. { 58 } CU'ZZLING goo at the Club’s soda fountain was a favorite pastime of the teen-agers. a i i YVVr ' ' N ' ju .4 ‘ ■ ■ '•- ? . -r.. i, .'

Football sagas of '44 saw the mighty Cavemen, for the second consecutive year, score 28 more points than their opponents. The season, with its many upsets, left the fighting smoke-eaters with a 50 per cent average. Led by two super backs and a rugged line, the Cavemen rolled over North Bend, Bend, and Marshfield to gain three pre-conference wins. Then the Ashland Grizzlies stopped the smoke-eaters' winning streak by a 20-13 upset. Medford, with an out played team, scored six points on an ofF-tackle play, winning 6-0. In a never-say-die” game, the Klamath Pelicans squeezed a 19 12 victory during the final minutes. Eureka out-scored Grants Pass 33 20, and the Cavemen ended the gridiron classics with the scalping of the Roseburg Indians.

About the time the wild flowers began to bloom and the birds started to sing, our he-men turned toward their favorite of three spring sports, baseball, track, and tennis. The general outlook was good for there were a number of lettermen returning to each sport, and in track one of the fellows who represented Grants Pass at the stare meet last spring was back. Working on the theory that good physical condition is es- sential for a good athlete the coaches supplemented the regular sports with stiff calisthenics, and by this method they got the boys into trim.

Although no particularly impressive records have been made this year, our El Dee athletes have gained invaluable experience which should show up in later years when they play on varsity squads.

Superwomen Exhibit Vigor, Vitality Coach Edna Glines' sports fiends in her third period athletics class could only schedule a very few games with surrounding schools this year, so they took matters into their own hands; they divided the class into opposing teams and had battles royal among themselves. The local girls were easily the victors in the few games that they did play with the other near-by schools. In the fall, hockey was the thing; as winter came around, the girls went inside to play basketball and volleyball; then, when old Sol came out once more, they turned to soft-ball, tennis, and running the obstacle course. Letters were awarded to the girls who were the most active participants in the spring.
