As students of Lebanon High School you have worked, and learned better how to work; loved, and learned better how to love; laughed, and even learned to laugh better. That each of you may enjoy many days of perfect love, laughter and work is my sincere wish— ARTHUR H. PENGRA DEDICATION To Mr. Lester A. Wilcox, who has, by his influence, inspired us to higher achieve- ments, who has by his deep understanding, helped solve many of our difficult problems, we the class of 1937 dedicate this Warrior as a token of appreciation and admiration.

I am still teach- ing the Seniors Chaucer and Shakespeare. You asked me if I had heard or knew what the seniors of 1937 were doing. I thought it would be a very interesting piece of re- search work to find out about a few of them Here’s the dope: Bob Peterson and his charming red-headed wife own and operate a J. C. Penney store at Scio. Bill Douglas is the starring pitcher for the Sweet Home Red Sox and Dean Stephens is in the Albany College football line-up. Charlen Stenberg has filled Robert Taylor’s shoes and Lloyd Whetstone is doubling for Hugh Herbert. Carl Mc- Gowan plays the part of Santa Claus each year for his family of five (one pair of twins). LeRoy Ingram is teaching English atShedd High School. Lorraine Crosby is head stenographer for Glenn Smith, who is a prominent Democratic leader in the U. S. Senate. Ruth Cray is a commercial artist for the Delineator Magazine. Therman Zeitler and Georgia Weirich own a chicken ranch where Don Surry and Don Merriam are body guards for the chickens. Francis Heyne is now playing third violin in the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Jack Klient and Oren Lansbery are herding ele- phants in Kalamazoo. La Neve Lawrence is the representative of the Arctic Snow Shoe Company in the Sahara Desert. Mabel Lord is the manager of the San Francisco Tiddly-Winks teams. Lola and Lois Russell have just gone to Africa as missionaries to the little black cannibals. Velna Baldwin is happily married and lives in a sweet little cottage covered with pink rambler roses. Evelyn Sylvester is the trainer of the animal ciackers for the Pacific Northwest Biscuit Co. Mary Lovett and Opal Hansen are governesses to Bing Crosby’s twins. Virginia Ray is poet laureate of England. Helen Edwards has the most exciting work of being an air hostess. Elizabeth Spires is teach- ing grade school in Plainview. Louise Green is head secretary to the governor of Idaho. Joyce Kelly is now doubling for Martha Raye. Helen Pape is now the skillful superin- tendent of the Crowfoot schools. Last of all Ethel Allen married a millionaire and now she is chasing ancestors in Scotland. I think that all of the people are doing very well, don’t you? With love, MARJORIE PEARSON CLASS WILL At last, we have attained the cherished goal—graduating seniors. But before we leave this dear old school we have legally drawn up this will: Article I Sec. 1. We the graduating Senior class, will all unneeded books, used pencils and any other surplus equipment to those who regard them as a dire necessity. Sec. 2. We will the last two rows of seats in the study hall (those which are used only by Seniors) to all members of the Junior class. Article II Sec. 1. We will to all of the teachers a box of aspirins for the headaches we have given them and a bottle of “Color Back” for all of the grey hair we have caused them. Article III Sec. 1.

Mary Tyler and Ruby Essig leave several fluttering hearts among the under classmen. CLASS HISTORY OF 1937 In the year of 1933, one hundred and thirty students started their Freshman year at dear old L .H. S. Miss Virginia Hancock was chosen class advisor. Dallas Faulkner was elected president; June Southard, vice-president; Dick Nash, treasurer. The Fresh- men of that year took an active part in the Freshmen reception by presenting a pro- gram to the other classes. One hundred and twelve students enrolled as Sophomores in the year 1934. The class chose as officers: Ivan Brown, president; Carl McGowan, vice-president; Dick Nash, secretary; and Marjorie Pearson, student council representative.. Mr. Shailer Peterson was the class advisor. In 1935, ninety-six Juniors invaded the walls of the old high school. Miss Lena Medler was class advisor. The following officere were elected : Marjorie Pearson, presi- dent; Grace Chilcote, vice-president; Elva Colbrv, secretary; Bob Heimerdinger, treasurer; Dean Stephens, student council representative. The Juniors were the most active class in school. They sponsored many enjoyable events. They sailed the U.S.S. Normandie, Jr., around the world in the Junior Hi-Jinx. A successful prom, given in honor of the Seniors, was a big feature of the year. The end of the Juniore career in L. H.S. was climaxed by the Junior-Senior picnic which was held at Benton-Lane Park. As graduating Seniors at last—sixty-seven sophisticated students witnessed the eventful year of 1936-37. Mr. Lawrence Bennett was class advisor. Dean Stephens was elected president; LeRoy Ingram, vice president; Helen Edwards, secretary; Glenn Smith, treasurer; Lloyd Whetstone, sergeant-at-arms; and Joyce Kelly, Senior representative. The major event of the year was the sponsoring of the Senior class play, “The Charm School,” which was skillfully directed by Miss Kee Buchanan. The cast for the three act comedy was as follows: Elise, played by La Neve Bahr; Sally, by Marjorie Pearson; Muriel, Helen Edwards; Alix, LaNeve Lawrence; Ethel, Bertha Clem; Edith, Joyce Kelly; Lillian, Irene Moss; Madge, Anita Backberg; Miss Hayes, Helen Pape; Miss Curtis, Lorraine Crosby; Austin, Dean Stephens; George, Bob Heimerdinger; David, Bob Peterson; Tim, Glenn Smith ; Jim, Bob LaFond ; Mr. Johns, LeRoy Ingram ; Jo, Grace Bartruff; Helen, Mabel Lord; Lena, Ruby Essig; Mary, Elizabeth Spires; Edna, Virginia Ray. Thus concludes the high school career for sixty-seven faithful students who have passed from the walls of dear old L. H. S. STUDENT COUNCIL Back row: Korbls, Warden, Stacy.

Keebler STUDENT BODY The Student Body has been led this year by representatives who have worked with unusual interest and enthusiasm in furthering all commendable student activities. To correlate the activities of the students and to cooperate with the administration in con- ducting student affairs are the aims of the officers who control this organization, with a membership of all students registered at Lebanon High School. The president, Bob Heimerdinger, has ably led the Student Body for the last year. He has presided at assemblies, had charge of the student council ,and controlled student body administration. The work of the vice-president has been taken care of by Carl McGowan. He headed the basketball electric timer and scorer project, which was the biggest Student Body project of the year. LeRoy Ingram has had charge of the Student Body finances. He has very satisfactorily taken care of the finances as the books will show. Marjorie Pearson, secretary, has done a very excellent job of keep- ing records of Student Body and Student Council meetings. Mr. Pengra as advisor has helped to straighten out any difficulties which have occurred and has been very help- ful. JUNIOR CLASS The Juniors mingled a successful financial year and raising money to entertain the Seniors. Starting their campaign in the fall with the usual selling of hot dogs, candy, popcorn and athletic souvenirs at ball games, they sponsored a series of dancing classes, so that adept feet might have an opportunity to brush up a bit before the dances the Juniors offered during the year. The opening dance of the year was informal with autumn leaves used as the theme of decoration. We remember Marjorie Ashby and Wilbur Lanning winning the prize waltz. One of the most enjoyable dances was the hard time costume dance at which a barn-like atmosphere was created Highlights of the evening were the song given by Miss Moore as a fine for coming in school clothes, and the awarding of prizes to Bertha Clem and Elbert Kelly for the best costumes. The World’s Fair furnished the theme for the 10-Act Hi-Jinx which was one of the best of recent years, and the Juniors sincerely appreciate the time and effort spent by both faculty members and students in making it a success. Various acts of light and hilarious entertainment were furnished by the Dramatic and Glee Clubs, Band, Boys’ and Girls’ Leagues, and each of the four classes. The Junior-Senior picnic is scheduled for the middle of May and the Prom for May 28. Plans for the latter were still a secret at printing of the annual, but the Juniors hope to make it the best ever. SOPHOMORE CLASS One hundred seven enthusiastic Freshmen entered Lebanon High School last year, to take their part in the activities of the school. The class of ’39 wisely chose Truman Forbes president, and because of the suc- cess of the first year, re-elected the same leader for this year. The eighty-eight members in the class this year are well represented in the vari- ous school activities, including athletics, dramatics and music. One of the major events of the class this year was the Hallowe’en masquerade party in the gymnasium. Members of the committees in charge were Barbara Horner, Doris Kirk, Jack Dillard, Johnny Speasl, Helen Ann Sanders, Marjorie Parton, and Viola Heyne. For the annual Hi-Jinx the Sophomores presented a beauty contest. Truman Forbes announced the “beauties,” Don Chamberlin, Jack Zimbrick, Johnny Speasl, Bob Simpson, Frank Cray, Elmer Smith, Mervin Jenkins, Robert Forrey, Virgil Estep, Ted Pyle, Don Barker, Dick Backberg, Ray Nichols and Jack Dillard. FRESHMAN CLASS One hundred and twenty-eight Freshmen met the second week of school and elected the following officers: President, Harold Larsen; vice-president, Harry Miller; secretary, Shirley Keebler; treasurer, Jack MacDonald. In October the Freshmen under the direction of their adviser, Mrs. Shanks, held a very successful party in the new gymnasium. In December the class president moved to California and Glen Kobow was elected to succeed him. Members of this class are active in all the various departments of the school. A dozen or more were in the chorus of the operetta, “The Nightingale,” and three, Dorothy Bohle, Harry Miller, and Bernice Strickler, had speaking parts. Their skit, “Magic Pills,” for the Junior Hi-Jinks was well received. This class is always well represented on the Honor Roll. The class president, Glen Kobow, has the distinction of being the youngest L. H. S. pupil to receive a football letter. Back row: Vaughn, Coyle, Forrey, Nichols Front row: McClain, Turn . Talley FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Our motto is Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve.” The Future Farmers of America stands for cooperative organization, leadership, better farming policies, honesty and sportsmanship. The Lebanon Chapter is under the leadership of Mr. Ira H. Forrey. Those members of the F. F. A. who attended the Pacific International Livestock Exposition were: Burl Talley, Mervin Hoover and Albert Fromherz. They composed the judging team and Ernest Tuma won sixth place in the sheep judging contest. The Parliamentary Procedure Contest at Independence caused a great deal of interest among the F. F. A. members. Lebanon won the seventh place. The partici- pants representing Lebanon were: Burl Talley, president; Morris Fox, vice-persident; Don Sharmon, reporter; Ernest Tuma, treasurer; and Claire McClain, secretary. The Sectional Contest was held at Albany, March 5th. Those participating were: Don Sharmon, rope work, Burl Talley and Russell Morgan, blacksmithing, Mervin Hoover, public speaking. Ray Nichols took first place in potato judging and Ernest Tuma took third in grain judging. Delmar Bates, also was one of the potato judges. The election of officers for 1937 and 1938 was held on April 8th. Those elected were as follows: Ernest Tuma, president; Ray Nichols, vice-president; Claire McClain, secretary; Don Sharmon, reporter; Franklin Cray, treasurer, and Bob Vaughn for WatchDog and Fire Chief. BAND This is the second year that Lebanon has had an organized high school band. The band has been under the direction of Mr. Wiscarson both years. On the first day of school last year twelve students turned out for band. The band can now boast of forty-six members, not including the flashy corps of nine girl drum majors and two boy drum majors. The possibility of a ninety-piece band next year is promising. Perhaps the item of least importance to band members is the one-half credit a year they receive for band work. An item of far more importance to them is the trips taken. This year, besides playing for football, basketball and baseball games at home, the band played at games in Albany and Corvallis. The organization gave a concert at Sweet Home and a joint concert with the Albany band. Plans are being made for the band to appear in the Rose Festival parade at which time it will compete for a prize. Last year the band entered the state contest in Class C and came home with a rating of “Excellent,” which is the same as second place. This year it again entered the contest and came home with a rating of “Superior,” which is the same as first place. The Lebanon Band entered in Class C but it had the only single superior rating in Classes A, C, and B. All those who were present at the contest agreed that Leba- non had the flashiest and neatest uniforms of any band present. Comments from the judges were all very favorable. Back row: Skinner. Stacy.

Ward ORCHESTRA The Orchestra has made rapid strides in its development this year, and have been very helpful in making our music programs a success. It is under the direction of Mr. Wiscarson. GLEE CLUB Featured by a year of intense activity, the Glee Club points with pride to a fine record of achievement in their opera, their concerts and the state contest. The chorus consists of sixty-eight members, thirty of which are boys and thirty-eight are girls. Miss Irene Moore has been the director of vocal music in Lebanon High School for the past two years and during that time she has attained a marked degree of success. The music season opened in the fall with a joint concert of the Band and Glee Club. At Christmas time the Glee Club went caroling and entertained the assembly with a short program. In February the Glee Club presented the premier performance on the Pacific coast of the opera “The Nighingale” by Joseph Clokey. In March the Glee Club gave an hour’s broadcast over KOAC and later in the month they gave an- other concert with the Band. This year the Glee Club entered the state contest in Class B rather than in Class C which made it the smallest school in Class B since schools of four hundred fifty to eight hundred usually enter in this class. Lebanon’s entries took first place in all groups in Class B. These groups were: girl’s quartet, boy’s quartet, girl’s glee club, boy’s glee club, and the mixed chorus. Dean Stephens placed second in boy’s low voice at the solo contest. The Glee Club received first for the Ensemble cup and second in Sweep- stakes. Betty Keebler was accompanist for all entries.

Forbes BOYS’ LEAGUE The Boys’ League was organized in the spring of 1936 to fill a long felt need for some kind of an organization which would benefit all the boys of the school. It is organized to create a spirit of fellowship, service and cooperation among the boys of Lebanon High School. Don Keebler, class of '36, served as the first president of the organization until the election in May in which above officers were elected for the ’36- ’37 school year. Mr. Small was chosen as advisor. The club has assumed the responsibility of helping incoming boys to get properly acquainted with our students, teachers and traditions. Jack Baker has acted as chair- man of this Freshman Guide Committee. The first important activity of this school year was the sponsoring of the Fresh- man Party. Other activities include, an informal dance, noon-hour motion pictures, an act in the Junior Hi-Jinx and an assembly program. The organization meets once a month. At each meeting a program of some kind is presented. Some of the more interesting programs this year were: a skit put on by the Juniors and an interesting talk on traffic safety by Mr. Kerrick from the office of the Secretary of State. Back row: Kirk.

Pengra GIRLS’ LEAGUE “Sponsored by the Girls’ League’’ was the keynote for many important Lebanon High School events this year.

H. Schweing, Dean of Women at the University of Oregon, was a guest speaker. The next event was a Student Body assembly for which the stunt “Sissy Football,” and imitation of the Lebanon football team starring Jean Bahrke as Coach Reed Clark was presented. Sponsoring the motion picture, “Mary, Queen of Scots,” in November was the next major event of the year followed by a Leap Year Dance under the direction of the vice-president. The most recent event was the Girls’ League stunt for the Hi-Jinx. Representing a toy shop featuring many different varieties of dolls, and starring Patty Tweed, Olive Ann Myler, and Virginia Ray, the stunt was one of the most successful of the Hi-Jinx. The formal installation of the following newly elected officers will conclude the Girls’ League work for this year: President, Betty Keebler; vice-president, Doris Kirk; secretary, Shirley Keebler; treasurer, Marjorie Ward; Senior representative, Hazel McMullen; Junior representative, Mildred Wendling; Sophomore representative, Patty Tweed.

THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME BERRY PICKERS It was in November, 1932, when Lebanon High School football team then known as the “Warriors” met the undefeated and unscored upon Hood River High School football team known as the “Apple Pickers.” The game will long be remembered by the Lebanon fans. It was a night game on Multnomah Field, in Portland. Hood River was a heavy favorite and they scored early in the first period. The Lebanon team came back fighting and after tying the score they proceeded to score and win 13-7. The next morning the Portland sport writers, having heard of the Lebanon straw- berries, came out with these head lines, “Berry Pickers Trims Apple Pickers.” We can thank them for giving us a most appropriate nickname for our athletic team, The Berry Pickers.” FOOTBALL When school opened this year, Coach Clark found but seven of the twenty-three lettermen from the 1935 squad on hand. However there was a large turn out of in- experienced but promising men to make up the 1936 squad. Bob “Hopper” LaFond, 127-pound halfback, and one of the slipperiest ball car- riers Lebanon High School has ever turned out, was elected captain at the beginning of the season. High lights of the season were: a 12-7 victory over Silverton, 1935 champions of the Willamette Interscholastic League; a 7-0 win over Corvallis High, which was the first Lebanon win over Corvallis High since 1921; a 21-7 victory over the previously undefeated Cottage Grove team; and a 19-7, Thanksgiving Day win over Columbia Prep of Portland.

LaFond, in- cluding one of 70 yards to a touchdown to score a 7-0 win over Corvallis, the fine blocking and all around playing of Carl McGowan, who played any position when needed, the bruising playing of Jack Haek at end both offensively and defensively, the ability of certain Sophomores and others of little experience, whose names will be heard of in the future, to step into the heat of the battle and deliver like veterans. Letter winners for 1936 were: Capt. LaFond, McGowan, Haek, Coyle, Douglas, Stephens, Fromherz, and Hollingsworth, Seniors; Baker, Blatchley, Utley, Thorne, Durlam, Brown, and Bates, Juniors; Simpson, Christ, Cutts, Forbis, Sophomores; and Kobow, Freshman, and Heimerdinger, Manager.

The tournament .which is the only one of its kind in the state and possibly the entire Pacific Coast, was organized in 1931 by our coach, Reed Clark. It has grown year by year until today it is an event of county wide interest. In the six years of the tournament, Lebanon has won three times, Albany twice and Sweet Home once. Last year we finished second while in the other two years we won third place. Although this year’s team lacks experienced pitching, early season games have given us high hopes of winning another championship. Carl McGowan, playing his fourth year as a regular is the captain of the team. Infielder Outfielder Pitcher D. Blatchley J. Baker D. Sharman B. Simpson G. Kobow R. Morgan B. Heimerdinger C.
