Longfellow It was wlth a gay hello that we stepped inside your portals that first day, and we could hear your cheerful reply as we walked up the steps that so many freshmen before us had ascended. We never knew you in your youth- ful days, but your years have made you pre- cious. We'll always remember the new coat of white that you had soon after we became such friends. You followed us to all our classes with your squeaky shoes and everyone laughed at the noises you'd make when we sat down. You must have heard ever so many secrets and have seen ever so many shows, for once you laughed so very hard that your plas- ter dress tore. With deep regret we bid you farewell, and we take many pleasant memories with us as we embark on the ship of Life to ports unknown. Page One SUPERINTENDENTS GREETING- Page Two Vife are about to close the forty-fourth high school year in Marsh- fieldls history. The first thirteen years were in the Central Sfhool Build- ing during which time a two-year course was offered. The present high school was completed in 1909 and a four-year course was provided for the class graduating in 1910. There were three students who graduated in this class. Maiiy memories will remain with those who have attended from 1896 to the present time. We do not intend to dim the good times and profitable hours of the past, but we are all looking to the future with our new buildings, Senior and junior High School organization, and an enriched curriculum to bring us greater possibilities of development, Your cooperation will be of great value in our progress. -Lynn A. Parr. QM PRI NCIPAL'S MESSAGE This is the last of thirty-two years in the old Marshfield High School. And this is the last Mahiscan that will record the important events of school life in this old building. For that reason it should be a valuable one in future years. There is a note of regret connected with moving from the old into the new building-the regret that comes with telling an old friend goodbye. In many ways this old building has molded the events and character of Marshfield High School. School life in the new building will be different--the old will be gone forever. In spite of our eager anticipation to be in the new building, the old will always hold memories dear to all of us. The vividness of those memories will be increased when in future years we open this Mahiscan to reminisce on our school life here. May the new Marshfield Senior High School be even mightier, grander than the old! May we help build its life and traditions so that future generations of students will look back on it with the same fond memories that past generations have experienced concerning the old. -Martin J.

A great amount of time and effort, however, is required in de- termining policies of the school, in handling finances of the district, in planning for the future, and in maintaining school and commu- nity relationships. Members of the board are constantly demonstrating, by their presence and hours of work, their keen interest in all matters relating to the Marshfield High School student body and faculty. Each of the members of the board has had experience with business or schools which gives him an understanding of school district prob- lems. Mr. George C. Huggins, chairman, was football coach his first year in Marshfield while he was establishing his insurance busi- ness, Mr. B. Bedingfield taught for a short time before entering law practice, Mr. Lloyd Kuni came to Marshfield as a member of the High School faculty, and Mr. W. Asplund is an alumnus of our school. Mrs. Florence Osborne's business training makes her a valu- able member of the school board, and Mr. Lynn Parr, who acts as clerk, has been associ- ated with schools for a number of years, both as a teacher and as a superintendent.

One increased stu- dent membership in the A.S.B. by providing that only members be eligible to participate in activities for which an award is granted by the student body. The second amendment gave the students more complete representa- tion by providing for a representative to the council from each home room. dent, Jack Liljeberg, and in the other members of the council, who have not only greatly promoted student inter- est in activities but have made possible greater representation on the Student Council. Among Marshfield High,s most enjoyable social activities were the student dances, di- rected by Diclc Davis. A joint dance helil with North Bend High School was particular- ly successful.

Throughout the year its achievements have been numerous. As leaders of the class the following were elected: LeRoy Boyd, president, Jack Cadet- ette, vice-president, June Benedict, treasurer, Dag-ny Elfving, secretary, Ray Stanwood, ser- geant-at-arms. Headin the list of Senior activities was the n g , Senior play Boston Blues' presented at the Boyd Caderette Elfvmg Benedict Stanwood Egyptian theatre on April 22. Other success- ful efforts were the Senior Ball, one of the most delightful yet, and a winning float in the Neewollah parade. To Mr. Queen for his willingness to advise them during their last year in school, and also to the Junior class for the junior-Senior ban- quet, the Seniors feel indebted. As the last class to graduate from the old Marshfield High building, the Seniors leave proud of their school and its activities, and taking with them many fond memories of happy school days into a hopeful future.

For their first year as upperclassmen they elected to lead them: Kenneth Boyd, Presi- dent, Pat Cousens, Vice-President, John Mc- Carthy, Secretaryg Vesta Miller, Treasurer, Henry Hansen, Sergeant-at-arms. During the second semester, Dave Waite was elected Ser- geant-at-arms when the office became vacant. Throughout the year, Juniors have shown themselves to be some of our most promising NW' . Page Twelve Junior Class History athletes. Their efficient participation in all sports should bring Marshfield some high- lights next! year. In the dramatic field the junior play Little Geraldine, presented in the auditorium, November 18, won for them a great deal of praise. Sufficient capability to perform all their duties well was displayed by the success of this year's Junior-Senior banquet, April 25, decorated in accordance with a Mex- ican theme. To Miss Titus, Junior class advisor, the class feels indebted for her willingness to ad- vise them during the year. uniors A--E FAM1- NIL-,Z N JUNIGR CLASS MEMBERS Bjorkquist, Bertha Blondell, Guy Boyd, Kenneth Brattain, Peggy Buck, Allen Buckingham, Valentine Burke, Bob Burman, Florence Burrows, Max Bush, Bob Carlson, Willard Carr, Audrey Clabaugh.

Gne of the first activities scheduled was the election of class officers. At this first meeting Fred Murray was chosen president, George Huggins, vice-president, Maurine Seaman, secretaryg and Kenneth Maine, sergeant-ab arms. To Mr. Oran Rickard, the whole class is grateful for his guidance throughout their first year of high school. Page Eighteen Freshman Class History Early in the fall the Seniors started the Freshmen's social career when they entertained them at a party, December 16 marked the date of the annual frcrhman assembly which proved the success of the talent in the fresh- man class. Another outstanding social event was the class party on the 9th of January. The class has been well represented in the sports of the school. Many boys answered the call to football and basketball and displayed some promising material for future years. The freshmen hopefully march on toward their triumphal year of 1943. .M M K' ,av M Q9 Q? 4 ,wfsru S x A xp 2,3 x QQ , ,E ,-5. N M x ,E if as ?

For several years, the Student Body has felt that two of the major activities should have leaders elected by that body. This year to head the pep program, Keith Dyer and Do- lores Richardson were elected yell king and song queen, respectivelyg and to head publica- tions, Louis Duncan and Betty McQuiston were chosen as editors of the paper, Ma-Hi Times, and the annual, Mahiscan. Successful publication of a paper, or a year- book requires the constant attention and super- vision of a strong leader. In this capacity, Louis Duncan and Betty McQuiston have proved themselves worthy of the confidence McQuiston Duncan Dyer Richardson placed in them. The Ma-Hi Times was this year enlarged to a six-page paper, and has had the largest circulation it has ever enjoyed. The Mahiscan staff has increased the number of sales, and has made the book less formal with more snapshots and informal pictures. As head of the pep program, Keith Dyer and Dolores Richardson had their hands full with planning the pep assemblies, the rally, the fire, and the program at the games. It is no small task to make the twenty-odd pzp assemblies interesting, and the way in whic'1 they were received indicates that this year's yell king and song queen have done a worthy of Marshfield High.

At the beginning of the year, the Mahiscan staff set for itself two goals: to increase the number of sales over last year's mark, and to improve the book as an interesting record of the school year. At the close of the yearis work, the staff views with satisfaction the attainment of the first goal. The increase of 85 copies was due to the fine organization of Maurice O'Con- nell, business manager, and hp staff, and to Mo-Hi the cooperation of the student body. Attain- ment of the second goal is more difficult to measure, but the addition of space for write- ups and pictures of both sports and other ac- tivities and the introduction of informal pho- tographs of groups and individuals show defi- nite progress in that direction. Through the persistent effort of the editor, Betty McQuis- ton and her staff, and the supervision and aid of Miss Helen Hughes, advisor, this year- book has been produced. Times FIRST ROW: D.

Completing its eleventh year of publication, the Ma-Hi Times has had a very successful year. The circulation has been increased from 350 copies to 500 copies, a more stable fi- nancial basis than last year's has been achieved, and the advertising section has been improved by better art work and more attractive ar- rangement. Although handicapped by some changes of sub-editors early in the year, the staff has produced an interesting paper every two weeks during the school year, under the advisorship of Mr. Virgil Esteb. The year's work was climaxed by a picnic in Paul Bunyan park on April 24, with the Mahiscan staff as guests. Quill cmcl Scroll FIRST ROW: P. Dillon, Se:., G. Hansen, V.-Pres., P. Taylor, D.

After doing outstanding work on the Ma-Hi Times or Mahiscan staff for one year and af- ter being recommended by the advisor, any- one interested in journalism is eligible for Quill and Scroll. This is an international hon- orary society for high school jqirnalists. The Kloshewawa chapter was formed here in the spring of 1938 under the supervision of Mr. Virgil Esteb, who has continued as advisor. The activities of Quill and Scroll are the edition of the Daily Squeal and the presenta- tion of an annual assembly. The theme this year was of personalities and was considered by che students as one of the better assemblies of the year, Page Twenty-three , fm' 2 .p m iii' of 'Z ' 81' 'ff EU- 1 . fx' 11 -NYS 4 5, A M.

Little Geraldine was presented by the Jun- ior Class in the high school auditorium on Oc- tober 27. The play-a three-act comedy, was well received. Much credit must be given to Miss Mildred Swafford through whose efforts the success of the play was made possible. The story shows the ups and downs and awkward situations which Little Geraldine daughter of 3 prominent alumna of a coed college, has to face when she enters her moth- er's sorority. Geraldine, with the aid of an attractive young man, foils the plot of a rival school to kidnap the star football player. l Puppetry STANDING: Dagny Elfving, President, Bjorg Hansen, Treasurerg Kathleenn Murphy, Laurel Fuller, Seena Richards, Phyllis Taylorg Lulla Hansen, Sgt.-at-arms, Bette Schuttpelz, Vice-president.

Have you seen my head? or I left my foot here yesterday, and such remarks are regularly heard in the third floor puppet cub- by-hole where a dozen girls pack themselves in each Tuesday, Activity Period, to make chips fly from carving wood, make faces grow from ordinary clay, design and paint stage scenery, sew for miniature actors, and enjoy working together, This year they emerged with the popular old puppet play SL George and the Dragon, wherein didst smoke in a most alarming fash- ion the fire-breathing dragon, and Shoilock Combs, an original play by Phyllis Taylor. Miss Thelma Stephens contributed inspiration and advice to the group. Page Twenty-seven i lJk'l'lilfl' Buys' Choi us Girls' Svwtcttc Debo 're FIRST ROW: D. Coke, Liljeberg, P. Seaman, G. Hansen.

Among the numerous things which they ac- accomplished were: selling purple and gold pencils on which the basketball schedule was printed, and decorating the Christmas tree. They exchanged programs with Hysoerie and the North Bend Girls' League. The two out- standing functions of the year were the Moth- ers' Tea and the Girls' League Conference in Bandon. All girls may become members of this organ- ization by purchasing a hello card each sem- ester for 10 cents. The purpose of the club is to create a higher standard of conduct, boost friendship among the classes, and to give each girl the opportunity to participate in school activities. The organization was very fortunate in hav- ing the guidance and help of Mrs. Frances Peck, advisor. Much credit goes to the effi- cient cabinet members for a successful year. Hysoerie FIRST ROW: D.

This is an organization in which Junior or Senior girls having dramatic or musical talent and average grades may be admitted upon the consent of the senior members. This club has had a successful year due to the leadership of Nliss Doris Suter and the supervision of effi- cient officers. The maixg events of the year were the Hy- soerie annual assembly and dance. The as- sembly with the theme of the Gay Ninetiesv gave the members a chance to display their talents to the student body. A dance was held March 29, in the auditorium, with a theme for April Fool's Day. Trianon FIRST ROW: L. Stevens, B. Parker, Sec., V. Torrey, Vice Pres., P. Maloney, V. Meyers, E. Miller, Pres., L.

Trianon is an organization for Sophomore and Freshman girls who have talent and in- terest in dramatics, literature and music. Its purpose is to develop a deeper appreciation for these fine arts. The principal activities for the year were a dance given in the gym April 26 with a stars theme, and an assembly planned around the motif of Why People Go Mad. Ar Christ- mas time the girls filled a basket for a needy family. Trianon cooperated with Hysoerie in revising the two constitutions into one to serve for the organiation which in the new school will replace the present two. This was Miss Maxwell's second year as ad- visor.

The Future Craftsmen organization is made up of boys and girls who are taking trades and vocations and High School. This is the organization's first year and it has proved very satisfactory. The club had many social activ- ities among which were a party and dance for all the students in the vocations classes, and several game nights during which ping-pong Girls' Athlet The Girls' Athletic Association is for girls who are interested in sports. The games that the girls have been leaming are basketball, vol- leyball, pingpong, badminton, baseball, tennis, tumbling and hiking. The Association has adopted the Oregon Point System which grants 10 points for each sport in which a girl participates, an emblem toumaments were held. The basketball team won three out of four conference games. On October 6 an Employer-Employee banquet was held in the Chandler Hotel. A group of the club boys attended the Oregon Safety Con- gress in' April, entering First Aid Contests. The club, with colors Red and White, was directed by Mr. Maurice L. Bullard, ic Association bearing the year of graduation for the first 50 points, a school letter for the second 50 points: a block Oregon O for the third 50 points: and a gold pin for the fourth 50 points. The officers are as follows: President, Marian Addison, vice-president, Doris XVingg secretary-treasurer, Katherine Murphy. The Advisor is Miss Faber.

Perhaps a litle bit of hound, a bit of Bulldog mixed around. His tail straight up, his ears hang down, And just miss dragging on the ground.

His large brown eyes express fear and love, To soften the heart of the master one, Who is his God and ranks above This small brown dog, a mongrel's son! Sit down and think, think hard my friendg Add all these things once and again, Then down' in your heart, can't it be said That this dog is really a thoroughbred? -Jerry Howe. FOCTBALL Coach Leslie Avrit, Marshfield,s new foot- ball and track coach, and a squad which he had coached for only two weeks before the season began, hung up their suits November 24th, with one win, four defeats, and two ties on the league score sheet. Playing the season with a green and partly inexperienced team with a new style of play, the Pirates lost only two games by more than seven points and made a showing which was very creditable to the second lightest team in the county. Jack Caderetteis excellent all-around play- ing was the center of the Pirate offensive, Martin while Don January and Bob Forrester were sparkling with their outstanding defensive play. All three earned all-county berths. Jan- uary was awarded the 20-30 Club Most Val- uable Player cup, and Caderette was elected honorary captain by his team-mates. Those earning letters were Caderette, D. January, B. Forrester, C. McCoy, Noble, and L. Boyd, Seniors, K. Boyd, L. Collver, B. Couscns, Nordhal, M. Riddell and H. Cousens, Nordahl, M, Riddell, and H. son, Sophomoresg and K. Maine and D. Brack- ley, Freshmen, Coach Bruce Martin, Mr. Avrit's assist- ant, taught Freshmen the fundamentals and assisted Coach Avrit with the varsity very ably.

Although Coach Alfred Landes' charges placed third in the County and fourth in the district, they won eight of a total fourteen league games for a winning average of .57l, which is not a dark average. The Pirates also amassed 375 points to their opponents 350. Coquille was the only team with whom they didn't at least split their series, winning one out of four games. Nlarshfield clidn't fare so well in the dis- trict tournament at North Bend, losing their games with North Bend and Coquille. Loss of Marshfieldis dependable backboard and long-shot artists, Liljeberg and Caderette, at mid-term, was a detrimental factor. Leading the Pirateis offensive attack was Dick Davis, lanky, high-scoring forward, who was the backbone of the team, scoring needed points and playing an excellent offensive and defensive game. Always dependable for a good number of points, Davis was second high scorer in the county, ringing up 103 points, and chosen for first string All-County, Page Thirty-eight BASKETBALL I. Zeller, B. Wall, P. Cousens, D. Davis. V. Kolen, Roald Bjerkc, manager, and J. Caderette not District, and Tournament honors. He was also elected honorary captain for the season by the squad. Howard Le Febvre, Dick Ring, and Bob Forrester, three starting Seniors, were 3 good reason why the Pirates kept in the fight till the whistle blew. Le Febvre, a fast guard, was a dependable ball handler who was slowed down some by an injury in micl-season. Ring and Forrester were strong on both offensive and defensive play, reliable rebound players, and ranking 13 and 9 respectively in county scoring with 47 and 57 points, Dave Waite, Junior transfer from Dallas, did a fine job in taking over Jack Caderette,s position. Fast and small, he was 11 high scor- er in the county, and teamed with Le Febvre, made a very versatile pair of guards. Bill Wall and Ivan Zeller, Senior reserves, although not in the starting line-up, did their share when they were sent in. They played good basketball, and furnished plenty of spark and fight. Vernon Kolen and Bill Huggins complete the letter winners. Kolen's agility and height made him a constant threat under the basket, which gave him much experience this year. Huggins did a good job of ball handling and will be ready for action next year. George Hughes and Pat Cousens, lacking enough time for letters this year, are a good pair of reserves and will be up near the top next year, HBH Squad The purpose and reason for having a B Squad is not to win games, but to give the players a chance to gain experience and im- prove their game. For underclassmen only, it is more or less a training team where the 'Coach straightens out bad habits. Eight team members will be lost to next year's squad, but five Juniors will be baclc along with a good bunch of B Squad play- ers conming up. With the new gym providing more floor space for practices, Coach Landes believes he will have a not so badi' team next year. With a host of hustlers, as Marshfield has, time is going to have difficulty disprov- ing Coach Landes. BosketboH The Freshmen players now are the first group who have had the benefit of the newly formed Junior High team. They have already learned the fundamentals and can be coached more for team play. These organizations add up to a better future for Marshfield on the basketball court, 'If FRONT ROW: B. Teaney, managerg M. Davis, N. Scott, V. Kindred, B. Hanning, II. Sncddon, G. Smith.

Not only to develop players for the team, but also to teach a boy a useful sport that he can use in later life, was advisor A1 Landes' explanation of Marshfield's expanded golf program. Under this program a boy has the use of the golf course week days and receives a lesson each week at a very low cost. Dick Davis, all-state number four man, and Ed Vala, were the only lettermen returning for the 1940 season. Much competition for the open posts were expected from Georg: Drsllinger, John Day, Jack Littrell anfl Dave ivffaite. Order of M FIRST ROW: E. Vala, K. Boyd, L. Boyd, M. Riddell, G. Watson, D.

Order of M, or the Lettermen's Club, is an honorary oragnization for all athletic lettermen and manager lettermen. The coach- ing staff acts as advfsor. Late in the basketball season' it was decided that the Order of M would take over ush- ering and advertising duties for athletic con- tests, replacing the independent Pirate band. It also has charge of maintaining school tra- ditions. The organization has an annual ball, issuing a limited number of invitations. Dick Davis is President of the club, Russell Lillie, Vice President, Bob Burke, Secretary and Treasurer, and Russell, Randrup, Ser- geant-at-Arms. Page Forty-one Trock One Senior, five Juniors, three Sophomore: and eleven Freshmen tumed out in answer to Coach Avrit's call for track men. One letter- man miler, Bob Burke, and five men with ex- perience were the veterans in the group. Although much of the material is green, a majority showed up well in practice and ath- letes, at least two deep in each position, bright- ened the situation considerably. It was expected that several dual meets could be arranged if the weather continued its blessings. Both first and second placements in the County Meet at Myrtle Point will be eligible to participate in the District meet, and Marsh- field will probably send some contestants to the district meet. Tennis Tennis was initiated into the letter-awarding sports last year, and Marshfield's success with this sport apparently stimulated formation of a county league for 1940. Murray Riddell and Bill Clabaugh, the on- ly retuming lettermen, and Don Bessee, Harold Ferguson, and Louis Duncan started the sea- son for the Pirates, but competition for the first five places on the ladder standings put chances for new members high. A newly formed tennis club of seventy-five members under the direction of advisor Virgil Esteb, renovated the Golden Field courts for practice during gym periods and after school. Softbol I Softball was introduced to Coos County last year when the first tournament was held at Coquille. It was a one-day elimination affair. The hosts lasted the day, last year, and won the first Coos County softball. championship title. This year the tournament was again held at the county seat, April 27. Although not a letter awarding sport much interest has been shown and more games be- tween schools are probable. Intromurol Sports Coach Avrit, boys' intramural director, in- troduced a new system of intramural sports, whereby the home rooms elect a manager. These manager meet with rCoach Avrit and decide upon the intramural program. In the basketball program this year, the Juniors won the class competition, based on the number of wins of five teams in each Page Forty-two class. The Junior number two team won the school championship. An intramural track tournament was ex- pected to get under way in April with the boys from all gym classes competingg the contest- ants would be divided into classes according to height, weight, age and class.
