5-KP v , get -x 194' ' Manga In the many years of production of excellent high school annuals in Klam- ath Union High School there has never been a staff of such business-like organ- ization, activity, and energetic application to its Work as the one responsible for this issue. These Words are written with the full knowledge of the excellent quality of Work done by the groups producing the El Rodeo each year for many years past. This splendid book is a fitting tribute to the year's Work of the staff and the school. Once more its pages will depict in word and picture the record size senior class of the school, and also the largest of student bodies in the history of the institution. Perhaps the reader may gather from its pages the information that in spirit, in sentiment, and in accomplishment, the school year of l938-l939 has been the best ever in Klamath Union High School, and We trust also, that there Will come to the reader the realization that here is an outstanding high school.

Baaafaflzheollofui One of the finest things about the American educational system is the manner in which business men from all trades and professions give of their time and experience-usually with small thanks and many criticisms-to make possible our splendid schools. ln the Board of Directors of Klamath Union High We feel that We have a group that will rank with the best. On behalf of the entire student body We express.our appreciation to the Board for their active interest in the school and the students. One of the worthwhile projects sponsored by our directors this year was the new Parents and Patrons club. This organization with over three hundred members Was the particular interest of Mrs. Pearl Schultz and the Public Re- lations Committee of the faculty. Under the inspiring leadership of Mrs. B. P. Ellingson, the president, the club meets once a month. lt conducts programs to acquaint the members with school affairs and to arouse their interest in bettering the already fine system. By an unusual coincidence, Mrs. Ellingson is the mother of Sig Ellingson, the student body presi- dent. Mrs. R. P. Ellinqson 9

ROBERTA B, BLOMOUIST. Mrs. Blomguist doesn't have to have an inspiration. She takes some commas and conjunctions and tosses them about nonchalantly and lo, a snappy little skit is born and produced later by her draniatics or radio groups. DOROTHY E. BUSCH. Mrs. Busch was forced to resign during the second semester because of ill health. We will miss her as ad- visor of the charm school, and student forum, and as an able teacher of world history. VIRGINIA PICK. Yep--we've got one in captivity, a real live pipe organ player! If you don't be- lieve it, just take yours up to Miss Pick sometime and ask her to dash off a little piece for you, or if you're interested in classi- cal music on the piano, she could oblige you there, too. DONALD GOLDING. With all the doo-dads and gadgets, Mr. Gold- ing's annually new car couldn't be missed in a heavy fog. In addition to teaching, he has the unapplauded task of planning fire drills which empty the school in two minutes or less. BEULAH GORE. I-lere's a smart girl for you. Miss Gore has some- thing in the bank that brings her 100 per cent interest! P, S. It's tall, dark and handsome, girls. Her compounded interest, how- ever, is still in music and Eng- lish classes. ARTHUR GUSTAFSON. Snowy, our football coach, is very pop- ular with all the boys and all the school. He teaches history. LOUISE HANSON. Home ec. teacher Miss Hanson thinks Klamath potatoes are very beau- tiful. We'll admit they're little gems, but won't go into super- latives. She is one of those rare persons with no pet dislikes, but says she has a great many pecu- liarities. MILDRED HOLMES. When that dreamy look is in Mrs. Holmes' eye, you may be sure that she's thinking of establishing a sum- mer art colony somewhere on the Lincoln county coast. She's a teacher of commercial subjects. Eff. ,. . IV f N f Ads aww, GRACE BROWN. Miss Brown, our phys. ed. teacher, tells a story about a boat trip where sea lions and fish flew about the launch, Could she be feeding us a 'lion?' Anyway We like it. She's good at any sport, but prefers horseback riding. RAYMOND COOPEY. Mr. Coopey, biology teacher, solemnly states, Ontogeny recapitulates phylo- geny. Of course, he's the boss, so who are we to dispute his word? Besides impressing his students with profound medita- tions upon theory and fact, he can swing a mean trumpet. DWIGHT FRENCH, We couldn't dig up anything on Dutch French. He's so absent-minded that people can't seem to remem- ber things he's done. Of course everyone knows he's good na- tured and thinks he's just tops. For further data see the Pelican basketball squad. RACHEL GOOD. The longer Mrs. Good teaches, the better her classes are and the more we like her. Her students understand the Latin inscriptions on the front of buildings and backs of coins --everything but the Latin Quart- SY. ALETHA GRAY. All who dislike sauerkraut, n'ien's straw hats, and cigar smoke get in touch with Miss Gray, commercial teacher, immediately. Those are her pet hates and, if you're looking for a kindred spirit, Voila, as a Chinese philoso- pher once put it. KENNETH HAMMER. When Buck Hammer is around, you just can't help feeling good, al- though he might give you a slip for chewing gum. He teaches history and civics, and manages the paddle-wielding police, MORRIS HARVEY, Here's a man who's so busy he can't even find time for a hobby. ls it because Mr, Harvey's home work keeps him so busy? They say he was once caught out on the front porch with an apron draped about him. ALICE HOWARD. Mrs. Howard has a friendly smile and just as friendly a disposition but--don't forget to bring your excuse after an absence. She leads us over planes of geometry and acts as a sympathetic and under- standing dean of girls. 11
