Such a collection should properly impress any visitor who comes to our gym. The four basketball statuettes, won by the 1936 basketball squad will occupy a prominet place, as will the trophy' won by the championship football team. Then. of course. there are track, debate and music cups galore with indiy'idual awards for outstanding scholarship and citizenship. Pictures of promi- nent athletes and teams will smile or scoyvl from the walls in a becoming manner. and l'Ioquiam's 3 famous teddy beal' mascot will be there to bring his usual good luck to the team. Perhaps the lnost unique cup ill the collection is a yelling cup. This was awarded to the school which cheered the loudest at three consecutive Thanksgiving cup two years in a row, but at the third and decid- ing game the the contest was not completed. The track and field records, The two large panels on which are inscribed all track and field records, will be set with the other trophies. football games.

HHIL AND FAREWELL Lntil anuary 10 1936 there stood behind Hoquiam High School a combination skating rirk reyiyal hall gymnasium fire havard and cheese box How this conglomeration of nails and boards came by each title is a whole story in itself Take for instance the appellation heese box A group of doughty lads from a neighboring school appeared in Hoquiam one stormy eyening to en gage in a game of basketball The Hoquiam boys found their way to the gym through the rain too and the game was on lXow we haye accounted for the title of gymnasium You see they played basketball there Through showers of cold rain leaking through the ceiling and gusts of a roaring sou wester leaking through the door the home tal ent like true sons of sailors fought their wav to victory The crestfallen visitors pursued no doubt by the threat of pneumonia hurriedly left for home sowing yengeance in a return game The date of the return game in due time arriy ed and the sea going Gr1z7lies headed inland to engage the landlubbers once again In the meantime back at home the destruction of the gym in prepa ration for a new one was going on apace Just be fore game time howey er a grim Gri77ly fvroup heard one of their number relate in enemy s boast Xeah we ll take these fellows tonight. Yvhen we went to I-loquiam for that first game we had to play in a cheese box that they started to tear down the week after we left. It was an enraged Crimson crew that sallied out on the floor that ey ening to scuttle the enemy in the best nautical manner. However it was not so much a patriotic principle that the vanquished had violated. The wound lay deeper. It was a moral an aesthetic ideal that had been outraged because Hoquiamites had come to love their old gym. The long and eventful history of the structure holds the secret of its other titles too. ln the dim and shadowy past a revivalist came to Hoquiam to revive the citizenry. The building in question was constructed then for him to hold his services in. When this person left, those holding stock in the building put it to other purposes, and the local militia drilled there when a skating party' was not in progress. These parties finally' acquired such a bad reputation that the local citizens aroze in their -L E301 wrath and donated their stock to a long suffering student body The total cost to the school district was 42600 Contrast this with the S95 000 to bc paid out for the new building' Since 1911 when the building went into oper 1t1on as a gym it has seen high school history made Who can forget that famous last second basket of Parl Philbricks in 30? When the gun went off the ball was in midair the -Xberdeen Bobcats were leading the Hoquiam team by one point and a mob of practically one thousand per sons were holding their breath Some good spirit must have reached down then to guide the ball squarely through the lace and snatch the victory from a hungry Bobcat' Several great and near great teams haye trod that maple court Two state runner up champion ship teams and the great undefeated squad of 33 have rallied there to the tune of the school song while such mdiyidual luminaries as Borek Tuttle Carlson Bowers and Coldiron have kept the bas kets warm in many a game This year Tuttle w as a regular member of the Oregon State College team runners up for the coast championship while Carl son was a regular at VVash1ngton State VVell as the poet said or maybe it was only a house wife calling up her grocer The old order changeth yielding place to new.
