Our good luck on the turf continued until we tussled over the pigskin with Lassen Junior College. Although the loss of four games cpienched the Klamath spark for an all-win victory, the Pelicans flew high in the five games they won. We also have to remember the colorful drills the Pep Peppers, the Band, and majorettes put on during the halves. FOOTBALL COACHES The two Pelican mentors, “Snowy” Gustafson, head football coach, and “Buck” Hammer, line coach, deserve a very large portion of the credit for the production, year after year, of one of the state’s high-ranking grid squads. Not only do these two work during the entire season to build the boys up to top physical condition, but they also must instill in them the old fighting spirit”, which often is the difference between a game lost and a game won. Joe Peak. Wildcat coach, faces the same responsibilities with his team, and fulfills his duties well. Paul Deller, although he arrived late in the season to undertake the freshman coaching job, made good use of the time he did have.

Our first touchdown was made by Marion Reginato, and a pass thrown by Bill Christiansen to Neil Mayfield secured the winning touchdown in the last few minutes of the game. PELICANS 26 COMMERCE HIGH 6 In the second encounter of the season, the Pelicans defeated Commerce High of Portland with a sparkling victory of 26-6. Eugene Love came out of the entanglement of players scoring two touchdowns. Patterson and Schortgen each pushed his way to the goal line for a winning touchdown. PELICANS 32 EUGENE 0 The Pelicans overwhelmed Eugene High 32-0 for victory three. McCandliss 57-yard scamper for the first touchdown and Weber’s pass interception for an 80-yard run high-lighted the affair. PELICANS 7 LASSEN JUNIOR COLLEGE 18 The Klamath High football team went out of their class when they tangled with Lassen Junior College. The Pelicans were overpowered 18-7 in an intersectional contest which brought them their first defeat of the season. Christiansen carried the ball to the 10-yard line, and Don Schortgen plowed over center for the Klamath touchdown. PELICANS 14 ASHLAND 6 Outgained and outfought in the first half by a surprising Ashland Grizzly eleven, the Pelicans came back in the second session and won the Ashland conference opener 14 to 6. Love plunged through center for a touchdown; Reginato converted. The winning points followed soon after when Reginato scored and converted. PELICANS 14 MEDFORD 16 The first defeat suffered by Klamath High in high school competition was by the Medford High Tigers. Louis Thurman. Medford quarter-back, turned a faltering last quarter touchdown drive into a victory for the Tigers when he booted a field goal which gave Medford a 16-14 win over the Pelicans. PELICANS 6 GRANTS PASS 18 The Grants Pass Cavemen, overlooked by Klamath in pointing, made up for the slight by running rough-shod over the Pelicans 18-6 and scoring two other goals which were nullified by penalties. In the third quarter the Pelicans took the ball on the 50-yard line; and, aided by two penalties, pushed over their lone sixpointer. PELICANS 14 EUREKA 6 After two defeats in succession the Pelicans took a change of heart and charged head first into the Eureka football squad for a win of 16-6. In the first quarter the Pelicans scored with a long pass from Love to Anderson. A pass from Love to Reginato brought another score in the third quarter. In the last quarter twelve players for the Klamath team were found to be on the field. There were two fullbacks, but the extra Pelican was quickly removed.. PELICANS 0 BEND 7 Byers, 190-pound full-back, was the driving force of a blue and gold steam roller from Bend which crumpled the Pelican football team 7-0 Twice in the closing minutes the Klamath Falls eleven fought its way beyond Bend’s 15-yard line, but a fumble on the first and an incomplete pass on the second ended the two threats.

WILDCAT FOOTBALL In spite of the fact that the Wildcats were not victorious in all of their encounters this season, they showed promise of being’ excellent material for a powerful Pelican team next year. Although the team was lighter than in previous years, the schedule consisted almost entirely of games with first strings. According to Coach Peak, the boys reached their highest effectiveness in the Yreka game. The teams played during the season included Merrill, Alturas, Malin, Yreka, Chiloquin, Lakeview, and Mt. Shasta. MUST HOW: Kcno Marches ; Krunoh A her; Hob Kush; Don Mast; Marvin Watson; Arnold Selby; Henrge Demetrakos; !.«•«• Hunter.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL To provide a training ground for future Wildcat and Pelican grid stars is the main purpose of Freshman Football. This year’s rook squad played under a decided handicap, two mid-season changes having been made in their coaching staff. Although their record as a team was not spectacular, it was not by any means a failure, for the Freshmen managed to keep up their end of the game even when matched against older, heavier squads. • WINTER This is what makes physics bearable.

Keith is a junior, so he will he hack again next season. Harold Patterson Forward—Harold's first year in Klamath Union High School proved to he a successful one. He came here from Montana where he had played basketball, so he carried on with it here on the Pelican squad. We lose Harold this year, as he is a senior.

The B team won second at the B meet at Medford and participated in the Alturas meet. The only lettermen left for this year are: Don Phelps, 880; Marion Reginato, discus; Chuck McCandliss, hurdle; and Don Schortgen. Other boys that look good to “Snowy” are: Ralph Foster, 100-220: Bernard Vaillencour, broadjump; Allen Cline, discus; Kenneth Aber. 440; Glen Kennedy. 440; A1 Steward, pole vault: Roy Bergloff. discus; Doug Ernest, high jump; Blacky Davis, 100; Don Mast, hurdles; and Jack Meyers, javelin. TENNIS TEAM Last year the team won five out of the seven games they played, which entitled them to second place in the Southern Oregon Conference. The boys on the team are awarded two points for each singles game they win and one point for each doubles ga m e won. Frank Subject was the number one player and he had sixteen points. This year the team got off to a bad start but we are sure they will show their true colors in the near future. Those who try their skill at girls’ sports aren’t doing so for the publicity. The least advertised of any important activity, it is by no means the least active. GIRLS’ SPORTS Mis Brown Vivacious Grace Brown has been the cause of a great deal of the enthusiasm the girls exhibit by turning out for the various sports. She teaches by example, not only the fundamentals of certain games, but also good sportsmanship, poise, and posture. Her popularity was well expressed when one of her students was asked what sport she liked best. “Miss Brown is my favorite”, she replied. Interclass tournaments make up a large share of girls sports. In volleyball and basketball the senior class team, led by Captain Faye Zirkle, took top honors. Baseball and pingpong were also of interest to many girls.

It should not be forgotten that the girls of this school can play baseball, volleyball, basketball, ping-pong, tennis, and badminton with as much vim and vigor as the boys. A group of especially athletic-minded senior girls have really made a record for themselves. It seems that nine girls—Faye Zirkle. Patty Croup. Pat Hackett, Phyllis Aubrey, Verna Dean Meggs, Margaret Lewis, Bettilu Cramer. and Marietta McMillan—got together when they were freshmen to form a basketball and also a volleyball team, which has stayed together during their four high school years, winning the championship of their respective class each year in each sport. Most of this same team plays basketball and softball each summer. The basketball team played Bly High School, the Academy, and other schools of the county last summer. Their softball squad was called “The Wooden Box Team. It has won the state championship for two consecutive years. Faked! Behind the scenes. Yea. big-time. Practice football. Tennis shark.

Loftseaard Mr. Lewis Botens BOARD OF DIRECTORS It is in the capable and constantly striving hands of this group, the Board of Directors, that we leave the handling of improvements, repairs, new additions, hiring of teachers, and general upkeep of our school. To them for their unending efforts, cooperation, and support we wish to express our appreciation. Mrs. Pearl Shultz Mr. Wilson S. Wiley CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE Members of the School Board are certainly compensated many fold for the time and energy expended in performing the duties of their offices. This compensation comes from the privilege of association with an outstanding student body and faculty in a truly great institution. One can not help feeling a keen sense of satisfaction as the development of individuals and groups is apparent in many greatly diversified fields of endeavor. Each year we find new and higher standards of achievement in every phase of school activities. Whether it be on the athletic field, in the realm of music, on the dramatic stage, or in the art and academic departments, we constantly find new records excelling all those of the past. An athletic victory over our keenest rival or an outstanding record in the English entrance examinations for college creates the same fundamental feeling of success and high accomplishment. The School Board is much closer to the school than manv might believe, sharing keenly your successes and your disappointments, constantly striving to place at the disposal of every student the ways and means for the greatest possible natural development of every boy and girl in the entire school. PERCY MURRAY. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE When the more than two hundred sixty seniors who compose the graduating class of the school year 1940-1941 look through the pages of the annual record of scenes and accomplishments and people of the Klamath Union High School, they will look upon what will he, for the time being at least, the last HI Rodeo issue to he published by a single group of people organized for that express purpose. For many years this publication was produced by a voluntary organization of students, who worked upon it as an extra-curricular activity under the guidance of a teacher. For the past two years this annual has been the work of a regularly scheduled high school class. Now the next step, and what we believe is a forward step also, is the plan to merge both the Krater and El Rodeo classes into a journalism class of two sections, both of which will work together as one publishing unit to produce both publications, giving, we believe, more experience to the students and the benefits of the entire group to each production. We believe that the El Rodeo class of this year has produced another volume of word and picture history of Klamath Union High School which is a credit to the class of 1941, to the school, and to the entire community. LLOYD 11. EMERY. Avres Bailie Bates Blomquist Brown Coopey Deller Eschebeck Fick French Good Gustafson Hammer Hay Howard Jiushen kelson O’Neill Palmer Peak Burkhalter Golding Kuykendall Pinkston Foreign Language—In order to achieve the highest degree of civilization, cultural development is of great importance. To do this. Klamath Union offers its students the opportunity to possess the best possible knowledge of Latin, Spanish and French. For this reason our school has employed in its foreign language department instructors who have devoted much time and effort to these subjects. TEACHERS: Rachel Good; Virginia West; Blanche Waters. Home Economics—For the greatest majority of girls a homemaking course is the most practical one to be chosen ; therefore our school is able to boast an extensive and well-organized department of home economics. Under the guidance of our two capable instructors, Mrs. Williamson and Miss Xelson, the girls learn the fundamentals of home cooking and sewing. TEACHERS: Karen Nelson; Alene Williamson. Industrial Arts—The industrial art subjects consist of woodworking, auto mechanics, and mechanical drawing. These classes are filled with boys who have an urge to use their hands to a good advantage. In auto mechanics, the art of taking apart and putting together a car is taught. The boys also learn how to repair these parts—a very handy thing to know, especially if you are out on the desert 50 miles from nowhere, and your car decides not to run. TEACHERS: Kelley Robinette; Donald Ross; Harold Teale; Charles Tilton. Robinette Ross Rowe Koycroft Russel 1 Sehupp Severson Shannon Sinclair Smith Stanfield Tea le Tilton Tomison Vanderpool Waters West Williamson Woodhouse Woodruff Dunning O’Keefe Strode Art -The R embrandt or Disney of twenty years from now will probably look back on classes such as this as the place where he got his start, and remember a teacher like Miss Severson as the one who helped him along the way. Hut artists or no artists, the students who have passed a course in art have learned to express themselves via the brush, pen, etc., and to appreciate the works of other artists. Commercial -One of the most popular courses afforded students of this school, the commercial course, prepares many pupils for the time in the near future when they will have to get out in the world and fend for themselves. Success in the business world is the goal of the majority in this department, and an efficient staff of teachers is willing and ready to help the aspirant to attain this goal. TEACHERS: Eva Hurklialter; Ruth Pinkston; A let ha Shannon; Dorottiv Bailie; Harold Avres; Harold Palmer; Donald Ross; Clifford Rowe. English I he knowledge and practical use of the English language is extremely important to everyone, no matter what his occupation. The English department is the largest one in the school because every student in high school is required to take it for the four years that be is enrolled. Each year the subject matter becomes more complicated, and the students advance more deeply into it. TEACHERS: Geraldine Roveroft: Blanche Waters; Amy Severson; Lucille O’Neill; Beulah Mushen; Margaret Hay; Virginia Kick; Charles Woodliouse; Wendell Smith; Clifford Rowe. Journalism—These folks whom you see rushing about with paper and pencil trying to get the particulars of important social events at school are the members of the Krater or El Rodeo staffs. The journalism department has improved and increased immensely since it was begun many years ago. Today we may well be proud of an excellent high school paper and yearbook. TEACHERS: Charles WoodhnuKc; Clifford Rowe. Mathematics -Maybe you could solve 2X=2 when you were a freshman, but that doesn’t mean you’ve run the gamut in high school mathematics, as any advanced trigonometry student can assure you. The course is among the most difficult in this school, and the ranks of those who begin it are gradually weeded out as the work becomes more advanced. TEACHERS: Alice Howard; Dorothy Schupp; Eva Burkhultcr; Theodore Russell; Donald Ross; Donald Golding; Charles Tilton. Music—Each year the students of K. U. H. S. have taken a greater interest in our music department, which is under the direction of Charles Stanfield and Guy Bates. This department consists of the A and B bands, A Capella Chorus. Girls' Glee Club, the orchestra, and the Triple Trio. Every year a formal dance is given by the Music Department for its members and their friends exclusively. TEACHERS: Charles Stanfield; (iuv Bates. Physical Education -Physical education is a required subject for all students to graduate from high school. This year it was taught one semester and health the other. The purpose of spending three years participating in this is to promote sportsmanship, personality, and friendship as well as to develop the body. TEACHERS: Dorothy Bailey; (.race Brown; Dwiglit French; Arthur Gustafgon; Joe I'eak; Charles Tilton. Science—Test tubes, frogs’ legs, and how fast a feather will fall from a height of 2.000 feet—these are some of the objects of interest for the brainy science student. Curiosity and patience are the main requisites if one is to be a wizard in this field of fact-finding. Five men teachers are doing a commendable job in satisfying this curiosity. TEACHERS: Raymond Coopoy; Donald Golding; Joseph Peak; Al Sinclair; Vernon Kuykendall. Social Science—Social science is the study of the conditions and the problems that confronted the world both today and yesterday. Students are required to take a semester each of history and civics in their junior year and a year of social economics in their senior year before they can graduate. By taking these subjects the students can leave school with a knowledge that will permit them to talk intelligently to anyone about matters which confront the world of today. TEACHERS: Catherine Tomison; Arthur GurflutHon; Kenneth Hammer; Everett Yanderpool; Walter Ewheheek; Paul Deller. Speech How to think on your feet or Public Speaking in a few dozen easy (?) lessons”—this is what capable, busy Mrs. Blomquist has undertaken to teach her pupils. Dramatics is an important function in the school, and much talent in this field has been uncovered as the department's varied performances are given. The development of poise, good enunciation, and high personal traits are also aims of the course. Nurse W hatever your malady—a thumb with a sliver in it. a voice with a croak in it. or a slight case of the measles—take it to the nurse. Mrs. Strode. She has what it takes to make sad hearts glad and ailing students healthy. If an apple a day keeps the nurse away, take away the apples! The Office Force “Information, Please! These models of efficiency and accuracy are on their toes every minute ready to supply it. Whether we realize it or not. running an institution of this size is no baby’s pastime, but a full-time job for two capable people—Ruth Dunning, secretary to the principal, and Dorothy O'Keefe. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to the El Rodeo this year for the privilege of writing a message in this annual. It is my sincere belief that this book is the biggest and best yet to be produced in K. U. H. S. Through this medium I wish to take the opportunity to express my thanks to the student body, the student council, and the faculty for the support given student body affairs in the past year. Several accomplishments of this year's student council were: the revision of the constitution by three new important amendments; the completion of arrangements for a public, annual installation of student body officers; and the beginning of a large scrap book which is to contain all news of our high school affairs. Better relations with other schools have been promoted successfully, and many minor improvements made in various phases of our school life. BOB ER LAXI)SOX. STUDENT CONGRESS This is a large group whose members are representatives from home rooms. I hey are elected to take part in the student council meetings held approximately every three weeks. The purpose of these meetings is to supervise the activities of the school and pass necessary legislation. This year the student congress officially recommended to the board of directors several improvements in campus and buildings.

I THE SENIORS Sutan tie Michclson Virginia Ellen Smith Jack Cieek The first four years are the hardest, but the class of 1941 has emerged victorious from the struggle. In spite of the eagerness with which the great day is awaited, in the entire class of 250 there is probably not one who approaches graduation without at least a sigh of regret that high school days are over. Senior President Jack Cieek led the class through this final year. Secretary Virginia Ellen Smith, and N ice President Suzanne Michelson assisting. Mitty Lehto was yell leader and Carter Sparks song leader. A number of special functions have become traditional with the class: the Senior Class Play, Class Day, Hick Day. Skip Day, and the Senior Banquet. Colors: yellow and green. Flower : yellow primrose.

Lillian The theme printed below, written by Evelyn Wilnon, wag judged the winner in the senior class theme contest sponsored by the El Rodeo staff. COMMENCEMENT Some students think of commencement as tlie end of a long grind, the goal toward which they have been striving for twelve long years. To me commencement is an open door through which 1 can look back to some of the happiest years I will ever know, and framed in the door are the faces of many whom I have come to love, fellow students and teachers: looking forward through the door I see the future which I can face with the more confidence in that I have passed through. I have brought through that door something that can never be taken from me—knowledge; and knowledge is the safest weapon we can possess. But we should regard commencement neither as a goal or a starting point: it is really only an important milestone on our road through life. From now on we cease to be irresponsible school children and must begin to prepare for ourselves a niche in the general scheme of things. How important that niche is may depend much on the use we make of the study habits and personal contacts we have made in our school years. Commencement is a period of sadness too, marking the end of some of our pleasantest associations and the parting of our ways from many whom we have held dear. Some of us will go to college, others will go into business and some will just go. but in any case we will witness the dissolution of something which has been dear to us, the Class of 1941. If we have so conducted ourselves in school that as each ascends the platform to receive his diploma his teachers will think. “There is a good student , and his classmates will say, “There is a real friend , he may feel sure that he has succeeded in the past and will attain a real measure of success in the future.

We introduce to you the department that lias succeeded in making our high school music-conscious. Under the very able direction of Charles Stanfield, music supervisor, and Guy Bates, his assistant, the talents of our musically inclined members have been brought to light, providing education and entertainment for the public as well as for the student body. Both instrumental and vocal music are specialties of this versatile department. The two or three yearly concerts give everyone a chance to see the various groups perform. If it’s pep you are looking for, you will surely find it in the band, whether at pep assemblies, athletic events, or parades. The orchestra, which has received many compliments on its fine performances, appears not only at the music concerts, but also for the student body and senior plays. A number of instrumental specialty groups have also proved themselves able to provide “good listening.” It isn’t every school chorus that receives a second invitation to appear at club luncheons and banquets, but ours often do. The A Capella Chorus, the Triple Trio, and the Girls’ Glee Club are especially popular with students and townspeople. Besides this, several individuals have earned reputations as talented vocal soloists. STUDENT BODY PLAY Hitting a new high in Student Body Play production, “The Black Flamingo” was undoubtedly one of the most colorful and best costumed dramas ever to he given in K. U. H. S. With the setting in a notorious inn during the French Revolution, an admirable background was furnished for the setting of the swift moving play. Suspense was the outstanding element as the play approached its dramatic climax. Mrs. B. B. Bloinquist directed. SENIOR PLAY For the annual senior play. “What a Life was presented to the student body March 28. It was a riotous comedy, keeping the audience in stitches throughout. The well-known “Henry Aldrich” was played by Johnny Foster. The setting very appropriately takes place in the principal’s office of a small town high school. The action is centered around the escapades of a typical adolescent youth. It was directed by Miss Virginia West. CLARINET QUARTET—Orton Mann; Jack Long; (LiuId Kinareson; Jack Hanson.
