I Qiorenfortl In this Crater', it is our pur- pose to portray faithfully the ever changing activities of Medford High School for the year IQ28 in an interesting book, which will remain in the future a treasure chest saving the cherished mem- ories of school life. But, in aticli- tion to these joyous recollections, it typipes also, thru the inaugur- ation of and industrial motif, the marvelous spirit of commercial development and expansion that is so characteristic of this com- munity at the present time.

Mohr 9511142 School woord The Medford City Schools are in the hands of a board of five men elected by the people for terms of three years each. To these men the city entrusts the direction and government of the schools and the shaping of their policies. In the past three years the schools have grown about 35W fthe high school enroll- ment increasing from 507 to 7155. During this time the board has kept them on a high plane, giving them a thoroughly business-like and efficient administration. Under its direction all district indebtedness contracted prior to 1925 has been paid, a modern high school has been built, and the grounds landscaped. Departments in the school have been greatly enlarged and strengthened. Student activities have been encouraged. In athletics and Girls' League work for the past three years, and in band work for one year, Medford High School has lead the state. A junior high school has been established and the whole school system reorganized with a large part of it now on the pupil ability group plan. A thrift system has been adopted for the schools, In this 100022 of the high school students have banked every week for over a year. At the close of business last year the Medford system, as a whole, ranked 28th in this respect among all the schools of the nation. Medford has been fortunate in the high type of men she has been able to place on her school boards, but never more fortunate than she is at the present time. These men enjoy to the fullest extent the confidence and support of the entire community. The members of the board are: Mr. Emil Mohr, chairmang Mr. N. H. Frankling Mr. C. A. Swigartg Dr. R. E. Greeng Mr. Howard V. Scheffelg Miss Rebecca Mellors, clerk. The Crater Page 17 f l ' L Ili tv . Q 0 0 x A J E7Wif. gfedriclc Mr. E. H. Hedrick, graduated from the University of Oregon in 1916, became superintendent of the Medford schools in 1925 after three successful years as superin- tendent at Heppner, Oregon. While in Heppner he became very closely associated with the Oregon Historical Society, and since has done considerable research work for this association. By con- stant interest in all educational developments, by encouragement of the very best in school activities, and by evident ability as a director and an organizer, he earned a state wide reputation and came to be known and referred to by educators throughout the Northwest. He does consistent and painstaking research work in many parts of the education- al field. Last year, as a member of a committee appointed by the Oregon State Teach- ers' Association, he did work on a state-wide spelling survey, which showed the spell- ing average of men, women, and children throughout the state. It was Mr. Hedrick who was largely responsible for the completion of this task. After coming to Medford, Mr. Hedrick began his policy of constant reorganization and readjustment. Under his administration the Medford schools have been im- proved in nearly every department-in fact, his policies have led Medford to the fore in the rapidly advancing educational movement, in many respects setting the pace for the rest of the state. Through his work, successful and Wholesome activities have been greatly forwarded in all the schools, the goal for which he continually strives being 1O0W schools in every department and in every worth while activity.

Conkle whose efforts during his principalship have been steadily and effectively along lines of efficiency and greater accomplishments in all departments of high school work. During these three years, the financial system of the student body has been com- pletely reorganized. In the plan worked out, all money collected by clubs and organi- zations of the high school is paid into the office where it is recorded and held until required by the organization to which it belongs. Mr. Conkle is responsible for the introduction of the poll system of voting, now a provision of the new constitution which he and the student council drafted during his first year here. Through his encourage- ment The Torch Honor Society was organized last year, and the field of Medford High School athletic relations extended to include as opponents outstanding teams from all parts of the state. Under his administration interest in public speaking and debate has been intensified. In fact, in every detail of departmental work and in every phase of student body activity, the influence of his sympathetic direction and forward looking vision has been felt. Mr. Conkle's interest in educational work extends beyond local boundaries. He was honored last year by being elected president of the Principals' Association of the state of Oregon. He is a graduate of Mount Union College, Ohio, and has done graduate work in the University of Oregon and Stanford.

Two very successful plays have been given. Last year, the class of '28, being the second to put on a junior play, gave the Gypsy Trail , this year, it presented The Patsvf' Throughout 1927 and '28 the class practically controlled the Hi-Times. In 1927, the editor, business manager, associate editors, and a large part of the staff were juniors. Up to this time the positions of editor and of business manager of the Hi- Times had been held by seniors. In 1928, also, the principal positions on the paper were held by members of the senior class. Each year, there have been representatives holding regular positions on the ath- letic teams. Cliff Moore and Eddie Demmer have been mainstays on the football teamsg Herm Newland, Lowell Dew, and Estill Phipps have been outstanding in basket ball. Last year, there were two, and this year, three members who took part in the usual series of high school debates. All the officers of the H. E. C. A. and the principal officers of nearly every other organization in the high school are seniors. Notwithstanding this wide participation in student affairs, the class has ranked high in scholarship, its members forming a high percentage of the Torch Honor So- cietv. The class of '28, following the lead of the classes of '26 and '27, adopted the com- mission form of government. The officers chosen to govern the class under this system were: Fred Dunn, chairman of the commission, George Silliman, commissioner of finance, Alice Roberts, commissioner of social service, Anita Mohr, commissioner of school service g and Amby Frederick, commissioner of dramatics.

C79 J -9 1 Morgan, Stoehr, Huelander, Gill , tmior Glass With the opening of the fall term the class of '29, inspired by the thought of being upperclassmen, immediately organized and began planning the activities which have reflected much credit upon those composing the membership. The first semester of the school year was given over largely to meetingsg but, during the spring term, the juniors and seniors ran a close race to occupy the spotlight by sponsoring the school'se leading events. The two major productions of the year for the juniors were the Hi-Jinx and the junior Prom. The Hi-Jinx was a carnival, which took the place of the annual class play, the staging of which marked the high point of the year's festivities. The gym with its many and varied booths presented a colorful scene for joyous merrymaking presided over by the queen, Miss Anita Mohr, who was formally crowned at the open- ing of the carnival. Each class and organization had concessions and the junior class at nine o'clock furnished entertainment by means of an excellent vaudeville produc- tion. The state championship band contributed to the success by supplying music for the dance with which the evening closed. The annual Prom surpassed even the former dances in brilliance and stands out as one of the year's social successes. The color scheme was a beautiful and unusual ar- rangement in blue and white with magical lighting effects, which transformed the pavilion into a place of beauty. With the juniors rests the distinction of having within their ranks a greater num- ber of students winning honors in athletics than any other class. On the football squad, rated as the best in the state, were Bernie Hughes, Jack Hughes, Morgan, Har- rell, MacDonald, Stoehr, Bowerman, and Garnett-allfull-fledged juniors. Of the hoop squad, six of the eleven awarded the M were members of the class of '29. They were Melvin, Garnett, Bowerman, Bernie Hughes, Morgan, and MacDonald. In backing up all student enterprises, the juniors showed school spirit. The shin- ing example of the year came when the juniors took first place in the annual drive for Crater subscriptions. This almost invariably goes to the seniors, but the juniors upset the precedent by making an average considerably higher than the graduates. The officers of the class are: Elmer Morgan, president 3 Al Stoehr, vice-presi- dentg Elnora Hulander, secretary 5 Harry Gill, treasurer. ' Page 36 ' The Crater 6 n X J' Ilf iv! . 4 Fo 3 .

X J! lu nan. o o o'0 J ,, f Thomas, Archer, Dallaire, Orth ophomoare Glass The class of '30 seems to be a class of considerable promise. Under the leadership of their class officers, they have proved themselves worthy of the standards set by their predecessors. The second-year men were well represented on the football and basketball squads. two of them winning the coveted MT Oswald Newland was awarded the emblem of football at the close of the seasong and Charles Thomas, vice-president-elect of the student body, was given his letter for basketball. During the interclass basketball series a formidable aggregation was assembled, which, although being unable to cope with their more experienced opponents, in some individuals showed qualities of future stars. The standard bearers of 1930 have not confined their talents to athletic pursuits, hut show a good number of members in the honor and activities list. Several of their consistent honor students have won the pin of the Torch Honor Society, and Fielding M cDearmon has won the gold M given to the members of the debate team. As a group, throughout the entire term, they have cooperated with the office and with the entire school in putting the school bank over 100 per cent. The Hi-Times staff has been fortunate-in having Irva F ewell, Bob Mason and Lee Van Ausdale, sophomores, on its staff. In addition to all these activities the sophomore class has been a peppy section responding with much heartiness to the home room organization of yell lead- ers under the supervision of Edward Reames. The G. A. A. has claimed many of the sophomore girls, who have shown more than passing interest in athletics. All the girls are enthusiastic supporters of the Girls' League, and Marguerite McAllister has been elected to be treasurer of this organiza- tion for her junior year. Charles Thomas and Edward Reames are the class repre- sentatives on the Student Council, the latter being president of the freshmen class and business manager of the student body next year. The oflicers of the class are: Charles Thomas, president, Harold Archer, vice- presidentg Ray Dallaire, secretary 5 Dorothy Orth, treasurer. The class adviser is Mrs. Schuerman.

Total- ing two hundred and forty-three, the wearers of the green make up over one-third of the entire school enrollment. Deeming it unwise that this horde of inexperienced new members be left unlimit- ed freedom, the upper classmen took measures, soon after the opening of the year, to hold in check their exuberant spirits and unruly inclinations by restrictive rules in- tended to keep them dutifully respectful and properly humble. During Freshmen Week, only the side doors gave admittance to these newcomers, and then, only when said newcomers prominently displayed on wrist or arm or neck the significant green. For violators of this law there was placed before the main portal a shine stand and to the culprits was given the honor of burnishing the shoes of their apprehenders. Many a pair of scuffed and marred brogans shone brilliantly for the entire week! Still another ruling was enforced, this to prevent congestion in the auditorium, The freshmen now look down upon the remainder of the student body, with the seniors, grave, thoughtful, and dignified, just below. In this respect the new seating arrange- ment keeps before the new students during assemblies, at least, a fitting ideal in prop- er conduct. p The greatest effort on the part of freshmen during Freshmen Week was the at- tempt to capture a very large and very red flag nailed upon a post in' Van Scoyoc field. The success of the venture was hampered by a large mob of burly sophomores, who seemed to enjoy the frustrated rage of the frosh. The activities of the class during the year were limited. At the carnival the fresh- men entertained with a museum at which the committee, headed by Ed. Reames, pre- sented a very novel and successful display. Scholastic work was signalized by the names of a large group being placed upon the honor roll each six weeks' period. Sev- eral names of freshmen appeared, also, upon the list of those belonging to The Torch Honor Society. Mrs. Early acted as class adviser. The officers of the class were: Edward Reames, class presidentg Burton Lowry, vice-president, William Dougherty, secre- tary, Bud Thomas, treasurer. Page 46 The Crater fin Huh- i ' ' I' Q9 . B oo 3 .

Med- ford High School has such an one in the per- son of Miss Maurine Carroll, Dean of Girls. Miss Carroll is a grad- uate of the Home Eco- nomics department of the Oregon S t a t e Col- lege. She has taken graduate work in extra curricular activities and Miss Carroll courses concerning the work of the dean of girls at the University of Oregon under Mrs. S. O. Anderson of Water- ville, Washington, a n cl also Dr. Brown of Stan- ford University. For the last two years, Miss Carroll ha s been honored by the Dean's section of the Oregon State Teachers' Associa- tion. In 1926 she was elected vice-president of the organization, and in 1927, president. The office of dean of girls carries many duties, the first and foremost of which is that of chief adviser to all the girls of the school. In this capacity the dean gives instruction in the advantages and disadvantages of the numerous vocations, the quali- fications, natural and acquired, likely to make each a success, and confers with each girl in the choice of a vocation. She sees also that those who wish to work, either whole or part time, find satisfactory places of employment. When a girl goes into a home, regulations for both the employer and the employee are given out from Miss Carroll's office, and all Work and study hours must conform strictly to schedule. An- other duty associated with the office of dean of girls is that of supervision of all social activities. Under Miss Carroll several things worthy of mention have been started in the high school. Perhaps the most important is the establishing of the Girls' League, which, with the aid of Miss Carroll, has grown to be one of the best organized in the state. Under her direction, the Girls' League issued a handbook for the students this year called the 'fRed and the Blackf' This was dedicated to Miss Carroll in appreciation of her help in its publication. Also, through her effort, each year an issue of the Hi Times has been written by the Girls' League. Miss Carroll is able through the Parent Teacher Council Loan Fund to make loans to girls who need the aid. This money is to be paid back Without interest as soon as the girl is financially able to pay it. All in all, during the seven years that Miss Carroll has been here, she has done much towards bringing about a better sense of cooperation between the different or- ganizations in the student body and between the teachers and the students. Through a check on class work among the girls she has helped to raise the scholastic average of the school. In her work in Medford High School, Dean Carroll has had the interests not only of the girls of the school but also of all members of the student body at heart. The Crater Page 51 9 . 0 9 J Elliott, Stokes, Walker, Lawrence QMS .fgeagwe For a new organization, the Girls' League has made astonishing progress. This year has easily been the banner year, with many difficult undertakings carried through successfully. Under the leadership of Ethel Elliott, president of the State Girls' League, the girls have cooperated to make this one of the most successful associations in the state. The purpose of the Girls' League is to create a greater feeling of democracy among the students. The organization of all the girls into one big group tends to break up cliques and to further the spirit of friendliness. The work of the league is carried on by committees, among the most important of which is the standards committee, to help improve the personal appearance of students by establishing certain regulations in dress and in the use of cosmetics. Another active committee is the one for service. This work is fostered in and out of school and emphasizes the spirit of unselfishness and thoughtfulness for others. This year it has been the policy of the league to have a meeting once a month, at which time the girls of the different classes present programs. These programs were judged by teachers who, at the end of the semester, announced the winning class, which was given a reward. The league this year has sponsored many new activities. Among these have been the publication of the Red and Black, the M. H. S. handbook, the leap week, and a series of lectures by Dr. Estella Ford Warner, medical director for the Child Welfare Bureau of Marion County. The Girls, League is now an important part of the organization of almost every large high school in the state. It has become very popular here, and although com- paratively new in Medford High, it has proved to be very successful. Much should come from it in the future. The officers are: Ethel Elliott, president, Louise Stokes, vice-president, Lillian Walker, secretary, and Mildred Lawrence, treasurer. Page 52 The Crater .Mu 7 7 9 -J. W 00 rf J - GIRLS, LEAGUE The Crater Page 53 ' 1 121525: T if-' i oo nllhlnll lllall .-b n m' Qirls' .fgeazgzwe Council The Girls' League Council is the governing body of the Girls' League. It is com- posed of the officers of the organization, two representatives elected from each class, and the chairmen of the various committees. It is in the council meetings that the important business of the league is transacted and its policy determined. This year, under the able leadership of Ethel Elliott, the council has had a most successful year. Soon after the opening of school the members put out the Red and Black handbook, the first of its kind ever to be published in Medford High School. This little manual contains the names of the members of the student body and class officers, the constitution of the student body, school yells and songs, descriptions of the various activities, and many other useful bits of information that every student should possess. The handbook sold for ten cents a copy and met with such success and approval that the girls plan to make it an annual publication. About this time the council sponsored a party for the initiation of the new mem- bers. The initiates were conducted before the several officers of the league in turn, who told them something of the purpose, aims, and ideals of the organization. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and enjoying stunts performed by the girls. On Friday, December 16, a week before school closed for the holidays, the girls gave a Christmas bazaar. This was a benefit affair for the purpose of helping the poor of the county. There was a Christmas tree and each girl brought a gift. These were turned over to the league committee on social service, who in turn gave them to the county nurse for distribution among those in need of them. The girls also brought small hand-made articles which were sold to those present, along with pop-corn balls and punch. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing, and, at the end, prizes were presented to those persons holding lucky numbers. When the Student Council set aside the week, March 19-23, as Leap Week , the Girls' League Council entered into the spirit of the affair and actively assisted the Student Council. They formulated a set of rules, in addition to those laid down by the others, and the members served as policemen. In connection with this, they gave an assembly, the feature of which was a review of all the leap years from 1790 to 1928. At the leap year dance, which closed the week, the council lent their hearty co- operation in making it a success. The Girls' League Council designated the week, April 2-6, as Girls' Week and set a program to be followed. The week was featured by sales held nearly every noon. On Tuesday afternoon the council entertained the faculty at a very delightful tea in Room 8. On Friday of this week they held a style show, at which were displayed ap- propriate costumes for all occasions. This was followed by a mothers' and daughters' tea, at which time the special girls' edition of the Hi-Times came out. On Friday evening, April 6, the council sponsored the annual April Frolic, bring- ing to a close Girls' Week. The girls came dressed in clever, original, and often out- landish costumes. Alberta Knipps won the prize for the funniest costumeg Alberta Wirth, for the most originalg and Edna Bottom and Irva Fewell were voted the best dressed couple. The main feature of the evening was an excellent play presented by some of the girls, after which the time was spent in dancing. Girls' Week this year was, in the opinion of many of the students, the best that has been held for some time, and the girls plan to make it even better in the future.

'oo V9 '6'o J Coss, Van Dyke, Knips, Wilson QMS, eqtlizletic flssociatiom The Girls' Athletic Association was organized at Medford High School in Sep- tember, 1925, with a membership of eighty. Two main aims of the organization are to encourage every girl to participate in at least one sport and to promote an intra- mutual program of athletic competition in a spirit of good sportsmanship. However. the association also functions socially and has given a number of enjoyable parties and dances. Miss Barrigar, the supervisor of physical education, is the adviser. This year she introduced the State Point System for girls' athletics sponsored by the Oregon Phys- ical Education Association. In this Point System any girl may earn points toward her numeral fawarded for fifty pointsj and her OU Qawarded for one hundred pointsl. Ten points each are given for the following sports: speedball, volley ball, basketball. folk dancing, self-testing activities, swimming, track, hockey, soccer and tennis. Intra- mural competition is offered in all these sports, with the exception of hockey, soccer and swimming. The Medford High School Girl's Athletic Association is one of the leading associations in the state, and this rank has been accomplished only by the whole-hearted cooperation between Miss Barrigar and the girls. To lead up to the Point System in the senior high school, Miss Barrigar has or- ganized a Junior High School Girls' Athletic Association, with a point system similar to the State Point System. These two athletic organizations now number nearly three hundred girls in their memberships. Keen competition was manifested in all sports this year. Gertrude Haskins' volley ball team won the championship, the juniors won the basketball championshipg the seniors won the inter-class track cupg and Vivian Coss's team won the baseball cham- pionship. Next year the new combination game of basketball, soccer and hockey, call- ed speedball, will be introduced and an inter-class tournament held. In line with the most progressive principles of physical education, a girl must be in training all the time, must have good scholarship, must belong to the Girls' Ath- letic Association, and must have a thorough physical examination before she may com- pete for athletic honors. Considerable credit for the strength of the Girls' Athletic Association is due to the otiicers: Vivian Coss, president, jean Van Dyke, vice-president, Alberta Knips, sec- retary g and Ellow Mae Wilson, treasurer.

Q lll if Lawrence, Stump, Wilson, Crews Janes, Vaughn, Hon, Estes Qirlsi Qlee Club For many years the Girls' Glee Club has formed a nucleus of musical activity in Medford High School. This places it among the most important of the student body organizations and places upon the members the responsibility of upholding the precedent set in previous years. This year Miss Church, director of the club. chose sixty girls from the one hundred and twenty-five who tried out for places. These girls have completed an active and wholly successful year. In former years the Glee Club has furnished the material for the annual operetta, but this year they were deprived of the opportunity by the faculty decision against giving this musical event. A double quartet was chosen from the members of the Glee Club by tryouts. The members chosen were: Betty Janes, Clementina Vaughn, first sopranosg Ellow Mae Wilson, Marjorie Hon, second sopranosg Mildred Lawrence, Edith Stump, first altosg Lucille Crews, Kathleen Estes, second altos. A quartet was chosen from the' double quartet to represent the school at the state musical contest at Forest Grove, which is held annually. Schools from all over the state participate. This has been the first year the Medford High School has entered. The girls tied for first place with Corvallis, and upon a second try-out took second place. The quartet consists of Ellow Mae Wilson, first soprano, Betty Janes, second sopranog Mildred Lawrence, first altog Lucille Crews, second alto. The quartet won much praise for their excellent performance. The Glee Club elects officers each year to head its organization. Those elected were: Mildred Lawrence, president, Wilma Bailey, business manager, Jane Dixon, librarian, Genevieve Brown, accompanist.

The Associated Students consisted of 729 during the second semester, which is considerably larger than the official enrollment at a similar time last year. This increased membership filled the new senior high building to capacity and even necessitated the erection of fifty new lockers to accommodate the incoming freshmen. All in all, the present year has been the most successful in the history of the school. Outside of the honors from athletics which brought in new cups, groups and individ- uals of the Associated Students played an important part in bringing Medford High before the state. The band for the second successive year won the state band contest, sponsored by the Oregon State Collegeg and the girls, quartet made second place after tying for first in Pacific University's music tournament. Medford students played important parts in the University of Oregon Conference. Ethel Elliott presided as president of the State Girls' League. At the Press Conference, Estill Phipps was elected president of the Oregon State High School Press Association for next year. The bulk of the business of the student body is transacted by the student council through the system of representative student government required by the constitution. The iinances are handled by the treasurer through the finance committee, and financial bulletins are posted each month on the bulletin board. The clerical work is done by the bookkeeping classes. The officers who guided the school through the banner year are: Clifford Moore, presidentg Aubrey Sander, vice-president g Harriet Hill, secretary, Rosalie Root, treasurer, Henry Fisher, business manager, Cecil Davis, property manager 5 John Greene, yell kingg Frank Hussong, editor of The Hi-Times, Allan Spalding, editor of The Crater.

The mem- bers of the Student Council consist of the student body officers, the class presidents and the presidents of every organization in existence in the school. In this manner the principle of representative government as set forth in the constitution is put into effect. This is without question the easiest and most efficient method of handling the affairs of the Associated Students, as a small group is more flexible, and, therefore, capable of transacting more business than would be the student body as a whole. The same system of student management as is practiced in many other large high schools is practiced in Medford High School. All the business which requires student jurisdiction is handled by the manager of the Associated Students, who has charge of all general student body affairs. The equipment and supplies belonging to the high school are in charge of the property manager. Both of the oiiicers are held directly responsible to the Student Council. Another outgrowth of the Student Council is the finance committee before whose scrutiny all bills contracted by the student body must pass. The president of the As- sociated Students, student manager and the senior class president comprise this group. This committee was inaugurated for the first time during the present year. The most important legislative act of the year was the treaty between Medford and Ashland High Schools to end the egg rioting, raiding and other unsportsmanlike demonstrations which had caused a great deal of grief. The compact was framed at a joint meeting of the Ashland Executive Council and the Medford Student Council and ratified by both student bodies on the following day. Both groups are to be con-- gratulated on the edicient and diplomatic settlement of the affair. Included among the important measures passed by the council are those providing for the celebrated leap week activities, which proved to be a great success, and the frosh initiation week, which marked the return of time-honored tradition or hazing the wearers of the green.. The flag rush was also a new idea which the Student Coun- cil started this year. The present seating arrangement of students in the auditorium at assemblies and meetings was originated and put in effect by the Student Council. This arrangement seats the classes from the front, starting with the seniors, then come the juniors, and, finally, the sophomores. The frosh occupy the balcony at all times. The carrying out of these rulings by the Student Council has done much toward in- creasing rivalry and pep in the student body. The president and the secretary of the Associated Students serve in their same capacities in the Student Council. The officers are: Clifford Moore, president, Aubrey Sanders, vice-president, Har- riet Hill, secretary, Rosalie Root, treasurer, john Greene, yell leader, Henry Fisher, business manager, Cecil Davis, property manager, Frank Hussong, editor of the Hi- Times, Delbert Parker, business manager of the Hi-Times, Allen Spalding, editor of the Crater, Estill Phipps, manager of the Crater, Fred Dunn, senior class presi- dent, Ed Reames, freshmen class president, Dorothy Ryan, H.

G. CW. Club The H. E. C. A. Club was was formed in Medford High School in 1924 by Victor Sether, instructor in civics and economics. The organization was made up of all the students who attained an average of ninety per cent or above in either history, civics or economics, hence the name H. E. C. A. CThe A in the title means associationj. Mr. Sether's primary object in establishing the club was to educate the members in the affairs of present-day life. To accomplish this study of civic progress, it has been customary for the club to bring men and women of repute in public life before its members. These speakers are leaders and community builders who help to make better future citizens of the members by broadening their knowledge of the outside world. In addition to the privilege of hearing noted speakers, the club itself benefited through reports of social conditions by the individual members. This also helps the H. E. C. A. students by giving them training in public speaking. Upon the departure of Mr. Sether for Stanford University this spring, where he is to complete his work for a master's degree, he was presented a brief case by the club as a token of its appreciation of his Work and friendship. Mr. Sether's successor as adviser of the H. E. C. A. is Mr. Terrell, whose reputation as leader is well known in Medford High School. Ever since its beginning the club has been governed by its own constitution, which calls for a commission type of government. Dorothy Ryan served as president of the commission for both semesters this year and proved an able and popular leader. Other members of the commission for the year are: George Silliman, Dorothy Crews, Alice 0'Conner, Robert Rasmussen, Lillian Walker and Elsie Pardee.

And that is the distinguishing point of a member of the Torch Honor Society of Medford High School-he does not fill a basketg he lights the torch. The Torch Honor Society is a feature of many progressive high schools in the United States. It is a stepping stone to the national honorary society, the Phi Delta Kappa. Surely no student with an ambition to light his torch could wish for finer inspiration than the Society of the Torch. As its name implies, the primary object of the Torch Society is to promote scholarshipg the secondary purpose is to encourage participation in activities in the high school. This list of activities is divided into major and minor school services. The accomplishment of these primary and secondary objects of the organization is attained by the awarding of points to students for scholarship and for participation in these various activities. At the end of each semester, the student receives 4 points for a grade of Ag 2 points for a grade of Bg 2 points for participation in a major activity. In order to retain the honor of membership in the society, the student must have amassed at least 24 points at the end of his freshman year, 50 points at the end of his sophomore year and 80 points at the completion of his junior year. The fact that he ceases to be a member if he does not meet these requirements encourages him to retain his high scholastic record. The emblems of the organization are the one-bar pin, the two-bar pin, and the torch pin. In order to receive these pins, the student is obliged to meet the requirements of the point system. The much desired torch pin, which is ten-karat gold with the name Medford High School and a torch thereon, becomes permanent posession of the student Who, at the end of his senior year, has the honor of having a total of llO points. This year this emblem will be presented to thirteen of the members of the senior class at the commencement exercises. Th otiicers of the organization are as follows: Nina Hoehne, presidentg Gladys Minear, vice president: Aileen Pierson, secretaryg George Silliman, treasurer: Juanita llemmer. critic. and Miss Mary Gilbert, adviser. large iifi The Crater img if X l A , . 90 x 1 J Frederick. Roberts, Mohr, Walker gwake-up mor The Make-Up Box is an organization consisting of thirty-five students who have proved in some way their dramatic ability. After the Christmas vacation the members of the club decided to abolish the old system of having try-outs for entry, owing to the fact that students would not take advantage of this opportunity to become fellows of the only dramatic society in Med- ford High School. Under the present system any one having talent in public speaking, music or dramatics may be voted into the circle by the clubg and a number of new mem- bers were thus added to the group. An interesting article in the constitution of the Make-Up Box is one to the effect that any person missing two consecutive meetings is automatically dropped. The work of the club has been drill on numbers for presentation at assemblies and elsewhere. As a matter of fact, more members were worked out than were actually used in public. The club furnished the Christmas program at the high school. A group of the members presented the scene of the Child in the manger with Mary, the mother of jesus: also they presented the visit of the wise men and the shepherds. Another group gave a short pantomime with an entire cast of girls presenting a rural scene at Christmas time. An amusing dialogue was given by two dramatic club members at the junior Hi Jinx, those taking part being Amby Frederick and Bill Bowerman. The Make-Up Box also had charge of two booths there. One was a telegraph booth in charge of Amby Frederick, Bill Conroy, and jack Walkerg the other was a fortune teller's hut with Jane Dixon as the witch. The officers of this popular club are: Amby Frederick, presidentg Anita Mohr. secretary and treasurerg jack Walker, business manager. Mrs. justin Smith is the director and adviser. The Crater page 67 g I' s ri G70 J ' ,-- Fredericks, Harvey, Conroy, Gould Student Savings Cashiers For years it has been a matter of common remark that we are a nation of extrava- gant people. But times are changing in this respect. It is of much importance that young people learn to value their money and to spend it wisely. Such lessons as these are being taught in the schools, and school thrift is now nation wide. School savings are carried on through cooperation between the local banks and the public schools. Medford High School went over the top again this year. We have had a batting averageb of 100 per cent in savings for the last two years. There has been a constant- ly growing enthusiasm among the pupils, and every pupil has faithfully remembered his duty to make a deposit each noon on Tuesday. During the term of 1927-28, Med- ford High School has been a leader in Oregon school savings. We have kept fourth place in all the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain states during the past year. The three schools leading Medford High were considered to have a higher standing only because more pupils attended these schools. Communications came to Medford High this year from all parts of the country as a result of featuring our Thrift Department in the Educational Thrift Gazette. This publication is sent to the high schools of forty states, and, as a consequence, Medford High School has become favorably known. We are proud of this feature which has become so popular in our school. Much of the success of our savings is due to the efforts of Horace Terrell, faculty adviser, and Amby Frederick, bank president. The other officers of the cashiers' or- ganization are Opal Harvey, vice-president, Billie Conroy, business manager, Edward Gould, advertising manager. Following is a list of the cashiers and their respective rooms: Iris Lofland, 283 William Dougherty, 28, Norma Howell, 285 Gertrude Hender- son, 283 Bobbie Boyle, 283 Loleta jones, 18g Ed.

Barnes, Dart, Boyle .Berlin Club Although this is the first year that a Latin Club has existed in Medford High School, much interest has been shown in the organization of such a group, as can be judged by the membership of the club, which ranges between forty and fifty members. The club was formed at the beginning of the school year by Miss Frances Theis, who has charge of the Latin department of the high school. The reasons for the forming of a Latin Club are to raise the standards of scholar- ship of those students taking Latin and to promote interest in the subject, further than merelv to the extent of the high school language course. At the meeting of the club, plays and songs and poems in Latin that are not ordinarily included in the regular course are presentedg and much is learned from this enjoyable form of entertainment. Each student who is taking some class in Latin and who attains a grade of AU or UB' ' is eligible for membership. The meetings of the club have been held once a monthg and, on several occasions, these took place in the form of parties at which programs, games, and refreshments were enioved. The first of these meetings was called Saturnalia , which means Christmas. A king and a Roman fortune-teller were features of the evening. Following the presen- tation of the program, games and refreshments were enjoyed. The second party was given by the girls under the leadership of Ver Dean Harvey. A pantomime entitled Horatius at the Bridge was received with hearty applause. Musical numbers and readings completed the program. At the third party of the year, the boys furnished the amusement for the meeting. A program in which Caesar and Brutus figured prominently was staged at the opening of the evening's activities. An initiation for the new members was then held, and the party was concluded by the playing of games and the serving of refreshments. The acts for which the Latin Club is known to the student body are the sandwich sales which have been held all during the year. Much of the revenue for the club activities was obtained through these sales. The officers are: Charles Barnes, president g Francis Darr, secretary 3 Robert Boyle, treasurer. , The Crater Page 69 ?iT lu rm oo' lllllh -- Y y .

Any person who is taking Smith-Hughes agriculture is entitled to membership in the club. The purpose is to stimulate interest in agricultural topics and to promote social intercourse among members by social gatherings at intervals during the term. These latter are brought to a climax in a social and ice-cream feed near final exam- ination time each year. Before Christmas, 'members of the club made their annual trip to Grants Pass where they held a joint meeting with the neighboring club. The relations of the two clubs were rounded off with a basketball game in which the Medford farmers were defeated by a decisive score. r , The club sent a delegation to the convention at Oregon State College at which nearly all the schools in the state that teach Smith-Hughes agriculture were repre- sented. Being so far distant from Corvallis, it was difficult to send a large delega- tiong but the club did its share, considering the handicap. The delegates were Fred MacDonald, Thomas Culbertson, Leon Brown, Roan Green, Robert Herriott, Charles Elmore, William Woodford and Denton Clark. A new feature of the club work carried on in 1927-28 has been a series of prog- rams consisting of talks on agriculture and allied subjects. These talks have been thoroughly prepared and the subjects expansively treated. No time limit was set. Though some students occupied a large part of the class period, the average time used for a speech was five or six minutes. The club was started eight years ago under Mr. C. D. Thompson, who still acts as its adviser. The officers are: Robert Herriott, presidentg Fred MacDonald, vice-presidentg Clarice Rivers, secretaryg Gordon Warner, treasurerg Charles Elmore, librarian.

All interested in this subject were invited to join, and regular meetings have been held throughout the year. The local club is sponsored by the Model Airplane League of America, A few of the pioneers in the club sent for the particulars of the organization, and within a short time a constitution was drawn up. Next, a general meeting was called, officers were elected, and the dues, time and place of meetings, procedure of meet- ings, and limit of membership were decided upon. Following the initial meeting, much progress was made, and by the time the second meeting was called, several flying models had appeared. A contest was agreed upon with cash prizes to be awarded the winners. The contest was in two divisions, distance and duration. First place in both branches was taken by Curtiss Barnes' Baby R. O. G.g second honors in both divisions were taken by Eugene Riebe. Many of these tournaments have been held since. Each time the number of entrants has been increased. A big air meet in which all of the towns in Southern Oregon will compete is to be held in the near future. The proposed contest will take place at the jackson County fair grounds, and a variety of events will enable youthful makers to enter every type of flying model in existence. Valuable merchandise awards have been pledged by several Medford merchants, and it is expected that a great many more will be obtained before the affair is scheduled. All work done by the club in a body is done in the manual training shops and, as a result, many excellent flying and scale models have been built. The dues of this club, although small, allow for the purchasing of necessary articles for the carrying on of the league's work. Oliicers who are responsible for the success of the Model Airplane Club's first year in Medford High are as follows: Albert Bliton, president, Eugene Riebe, vice president, Owen Phelan, secretaryg Gordon Turner, treasurer, and Dennis Wood. sergeant-at-arms.

WHL iw , 9 T' l- kt 00 if -v J Qlefmlfe Debating has long been one of the activities of Med- ford High School. There have always been a con- siderable number of students with ability in speaking who could give the necessary time for the development of a strong argument. The high schools of Grants Pass, Ashland and Medford are combined to form the Southern Oregon Debating League. Each year the winner of this group competes in several other contests which lead up to the final meet to decide the State Championship, held at the University of Oregon in May. l Medford has been very fortunate in having excellent coaches. They are members of the faculty and most of them have been debators themselves in high school and college. This year Mr. Sether and Mr. Conkle served as the principal coaches, while Mrs. Sether gave valuable assistance by helping the speakers with their delivery. These directors have had a great deal of experience in this line and devoted much time and hard work to the task of turning out a polished debate team with a strong, convincing argument. Mr. Sether As a rule the debaters have been selected by a series of inter-class debates. In these the question used is the same as the one argued in the state contest, and opposing sides are assigned to the different class teams. Last year, however, a new method was introduced-any student in the high school who is interested in trying out for the team is asked to prepare a five-minute speech upon the given subject, the choice of sides being left to the individual. After a limited time for preparation the speakers are divided as to view, and the places for competing are chosen by lot. Under this system first one View is presented and then the opposing. After all the contestants have made their first speeches, an opportunity for rebuttal is given with permission to refute any argument advanced by any speaker of the opposing side, ln this manner a great deal of material is worked over before the time for 'the preparation of the interscholastic arguments arrived, and the abiilty to break down the points of the rival contestant is demonstrated. The debate teams this year were chosen by this method. The question used was: t'Resolved, that the proposed child labor amendment to the Federal Con- stitution should be adopted and, in judging the merits of the debaters the following points were taken into consideration: First, deliveryg second, strength of argument preparedg and third, ability to refute the points of the opposition. Mrs. Ruth Pett Sether, Mr. Victor Sether and Mr. B. H. Conkle chose the winners. The affirmative team consisted of Vivian Coss and Lillian Walker with Mr. Conkle as coach, while Elsie Mr- C.,,,k1e 'The Crater Page 79 6 ML 5 f . d ey J 0 0 .J Coss, Walker, Pardee, McDearmon Pardee and Fielding McDearman made up the negative side with Mr. Sether as coach. The first debate of the season was held January 26 with Grants Pass. The Medford negative team journeyed to that city to meet the opposing affirmative, while the Grants Pass negative clashed with Medford's affirmative in the home auditorium, Medford emerged victorious from this debate with five points to her credit against three for the opponents, the same scoring system being used this year as lastg each judge's decision counted as one with on additional point for winning. During the next few weeks the debaters worked harder than ever revising their speeches and strengthening the weak points which had been brought out in the last debate, in preparation for the struggle with the strong Ashland team, state champions in 1927. This debate took place February 14, the Medford afflrmative going to the neighboring city, while their affirmative met the Medford negative in the latter's auditorium. Ashland's veterans triumphed over the inexperienced local debaters by. a 7 to 1 score, thus winning the district championship and the right to compete in the other elimination contests leading up to the final meet. Instead of debating some of the smaller high schools of the valley, as has been done in other years, the Medford team held only two debates this year with the two schools of the same class in this district, Ashland and Grants Pass. The judges for the debates were selected from the different towns in the valley, most of them being high school faculty members or instructors in the Southern Oregon Normal School. In view of the fact that Medford had a wholly inexperienced team, the season may be considered quite successful. Three members of the squad graduate this year and one of the coaches is leaving also, so next year Medford will have to develop a practicaily new debate team. Page 80 The Crater ,. .' 3 i oo Ways, Qlee Club With thirty-live enthusiastic new members the Boys' Glee Club started an active and interesting year of work. The first appearance of the club was during the song contest week of Medford High when, in connection with the Gir1's Club, they sang the contest numbers before the student body. At various times through the year they appeared before the stu- dent body as part of the assembly programs and were always well received. From the club Miss Church organized several quartets which were used on pro- grams both in the Senior and junior High Schools. The quartet numbers proved extremelyxpopular at both schools. A group of boys from the club, together with the girls' double quartet, gave a twenty-minute program at Junior High School, which consisted of separate num- bers by each of the two groups and combined singing of the Medford High Schools song. This was one of the most enjoyable performances of the year and was so well done that they were urged many times to return. The most diiiicult of any of the club's undertakings was at the end of the year, when they sang with the Girls' Glee Club at the baccalaureate services held in the Craterian. This came as a fitting climax to five years' work and as a last per- formance with the many seniors of the club who will be missed next year. It was organized under the following ofhcers: Amby Frederick, presidentg Cecil Davis, secretary 3 Lowell Dew, librariang and Miss Esther Church, supervisor of music, director.

The membership has increased since last year and, under skillful direction, the technique and quality of playing have been correspondingly improved. This organization has been very prominent in school activities, responding will- ingly to every call with first class entertainment. It has played before various civic orders and the junior High of the city, besides several times at the high school, each time receiving generous applause for the music rendered. The orchestra has appeared at all major events of the school year, including the senior play, The Patsy.

The band in uniform marched in the parade with which Klamath Falls demonstrated her pleasure at the completion of the Great Northern Railway, and received honorable mention by the committee of judges. As the result of very faithful work on the part of every member, the band won first place at the annual high school band contest held at Corvallis, April 14, 1928. Three selections were played there, a march, High Pride g an overture, Berlin in Smiles and Tears , and a waltz, The Kiss . These numbers were executed in a manner which would have done credit to many professional bands. Having won the monstrous silver loving cup twice in succession, the band intends to redouble its efforts next year to win a third time, thus securing permanent ownership of the much sought after trophy. We have every reason to believe that the band will succeed in reaching its objective.

Band Trophy The Crater page 83 Il , J n! 3 So 9 1 Commercial Contestants In the Southern Oregon District, the Commercial Contest was held this year in the Medford High School, April 21. Though commercial teams from Klamath, Josephine and Jackson counties were invited, only eight accepted. In this meet Medford won first place in shorthand, while Ashland won the honors in typing. In the amateur division of shorthand Medford received iirst and fourth places, Marjorie Lindley making an accuracy record of 99.75 for first, and Nina Hoehne a score of 97.50 per cent for fourth. Inez Gebhard was first in the novice section with a 100 per cent mark and Vivian Coss fourth with 98.4 per cent. Both girls were entered from Medford. William Purdin was high man in amateur typing, making 67.33 words per minute. Louise Weis was fifth with a rate of 45.70. VerDean Harvey scored third in the novice class, making 54.53, and Theo Anseth was fifth with 48. The typing team was entered in the state high school typing contest held at the Oregon State College on April 28. There William Purdin scored 61, Louise Weis 52.56, VerDean Harvey 52.86, and Theo Anseth 43.93. The team averaged 52.56 words per minute and received eighth place in a field of thirty-six. Mrs. Elizabeth Jerome was coach of the typing team and made the trip with them to the state contest. Miss Mooberry coached the shorthand contestants. Page 84 The Crater J fl in W O00 9 00 Senior Glass Qlay The annual senior class play was presented on April 10, 1928, at the Craterian theater. The title of the play presented this y e a r w a s The Patsy. The Patsy is a pro- fessional play, probably having never before been given by a high school class. For this reason it was very difficult to ob- tain, but, through the as- sistance of the dramatic teacher of Iowa Univer- sity, under whom Mrs. Mrs. Smith Smith studied, the play was secured. Mrs. Smith first saw The Patsy when it was played by a professional g r 0 u p in Chicago. She greatly en- joyed the play and de- termined so me day to supervise its presentation. This year she had her chance. In addition to seeing it in Chicago, Mrs. Smith made a special trip to the University of Ore- gon to see it put on by the national society of intercollegiate p 1 a y ers, The Masque and Buskinf' As a result she secured a very fine background for her work with the senior class. After the try-outs, Mrs. Smith spent night after night with the cast, working them into their parts. Besides, she worked out the details of each individual cos- tume and of the stage settings. When the time for presenting the play was only two weeks away, it was unex- pectedly found that two of the main players, Ethel Elliott as Grace Harrington, and Don Sloan as Tony Anderson, would be unable to take the parts held by SENIOR PLAY CAST The Crater Page 85 I- tv '50 ri them. It then became necessary for Mrs. Smith to choose two players to replace them. This she didg and, although there was not much time left, both the new members of the cast had their parts at the height of proficiency when the play was given. Of course, a great deal of extra coaching was required to round the two new players into shape during the few days that were left, but Mrs. Smith wasted no time lamenting this fact. She merely doubled her efforts to make The Patsy the best play ever given by a Medford High School class, and succeeded. A great deal of credit is also due to Delmar Parker, the business manager of f'The Patsy. Parker He worked in many new advertising ideas. One of the greatest departures from the old system was his withholding of nearly all advertising until a few days before the play. Then the valley was suddenly flooded with advertising materialg posters appeared all about Medford and the nearby townsg placards came out in the windows of every storeg slides were shown on the screens of the local theatersg and material appeared in the news- papers and in the Hi-Times. Enthusiasm was worked up and there was no time for it to be lost. He would tolerate nothing that seemed amateurish. This is the first year that parts of the play were not given at school on the day preceding its presentation. In many other ways, also, the play was made to seem more professional. It was Del Parker who worked out the programs to be used, and it was he who secured from the merchants the advertising which appeared in them. The way'in which he handled the ticket sale was admirableg for once there were no mixups in either the tickets or the money due from the students. The stage manager, Cecil Davis, also did his part. It was his job to take care of the building and painting of the stage setting used. Under the direction of Mr Tom Swem, he and his crew of stage hands toiled the whole night and day before the play, working on the set. Another man who did his work well was Stan Wilcox, who acted as prompter. Stan came out to every practice and, besides his regular duties as prompter, helped in other ways. When a member of the cast was absent, he played the part in order that the practice could be carried on. In addition to being prompter, Stan Page 86 The Crater ir, .7 llllthl nl Liar ... , f lll' 6' 9 00 was property manager, and many minor details fell under his supervision. His jobs, taken individually, were slight, yet his work was indispensible. The cast itself was chosen by competitive try-outs, nearly forty trying for places. The nine who were finally chosen carried out their parts well. Jane Dixon played the part of The Patsy. She capti- vated the audience in the first act by her innocence and charm, and held them fascinated all through the play by her excellent portrayal of the title role. Her very clever acting in this part will not soon be forgotten. Miss Dixon last year had an important part in the junior class play, The Gypsy Trail . Davis Stan Biden had the part of the hero. He showed great' ability in characterizing Tony Anderson, the handsome and lonesome young real estate man. His part was wonderfully done. Camille Clemenson as Grace Harrington, Patsy's sister, presented the big sister excellently. She was very well chosen for this part. Robert Stoltze, playing the character of Billy Caldwell, the rather wild young society man, who stooped from the ranks of the Uupper class to become engaged to Grace. has his acting very well in hand. Alice Roberts, as Mrs. Harrington, played very cleverly. Mrs. Harrington was almost wholly concerned with trying to break into society. Her spare moments she spent in nagging some member of the family, usually her husband. However, since Mr. Harrington was a traveling salesman and away from home much of the time, Patsy received a good deal of attention CFD from her mother. Amby Fredericks admirably portrayed Mr. Harringtonf' a grocery salesman, struggling along under the burden of society expenses. Mr. Harrington was always very meek in his home and submitted to his wife's nagging in total silence, until Patsy ran away from home, Grace broke off her engagement to Billy Caldwell, and a few other momentous events occurred. Then he suddenly decided that he was going to be 'tboss in that house and wasted no words in letting his wife know it. Anita Mohr ably represented the character of Sadie Buchanan, a fiapper who causes the quarrel between Billy and Grace. Geo. Silliman and Barry Rogers convincingly acted the minor parts of Mr. O'Flaherty and Trip Busty. The Crater Page 87 IIHEL ii, 9 00 J ociety INTRODUCTION Other activities of the year have been punctuated with successful dances and parties of various types, which have added zest and variety to the regular routine. Pk Pk Bk FOOTBALL DANCE The first student body dance was held on Friday evening, December 9, in the high school gym. At that time Coach P. G. Callison presented to the football men their letters. The hall was cleverly draped with red and black streamers which led to a large red M at the rear of the room. Pupils from the Eve Benson dancing academy gave a demonstration of the Kinkajou and the Spanish waltz. Pictures of the Chemawa game were shown by Horace Bromley. Punch and cookies were served by freshmen girls from a beautifully decorated booth. Dynge Brothers' orchestra furnished the music for the dance. bk if Bk STU DENT BODY DANCE An informal student body dance was held at the high school gymnasium after the Iirst basketball game of the season between Mt H. S. and the alumni. The hall was very attractively decorated in white to give the appearance of snow falling. Music was furnished by the Broadway Stompersf' The committees in charge of the dance were as follows: Aubrey Sander, jean Van Dyke, Clifford Moore, Louise Stokes, Beulah Gore, Edith Stump, Bob Rasmussen, Elmer Boise and Janet Clement, decora- tions: Dorothy Ryan, Edna Mohr, Jane Dixon and Mary joe Estes, refreshments. The girls who served the refreshments were Verna Forncrook and Doris jones. ff if wk LEAP YEAR DANCE The Girls' League of the high school gave a student body dance to finish Leap Week, during which the girls asked for all dates and did the treating. Almost all of the student body and a number of the faculty members were present. The girls Page S8 The Crater ri .J - lllhb QT, 9 ., It kv Fo asked for all dances, but, contrary to expectations, there were very few wall-flowers. Excellent music was furnished by Dynge Brothers' Harmony Kings. This was one of the best dances of the year, and it is hoped there will be a similar one next year. lk lk Pk JUNIOR CARNIVAL One of the most enjoyable dances of the year was given in connection with the junior High Jinx. This was in the form of a jitney dance. The dance was in charge of Dean Carroll, adviser, Bob Rasmussen, Ralph De jarnett and Albert Melvin. The music for the dance was furnished by a group of students, including jean Van Dyke, Don Sloan, Bob Stoltze, Chester Davison and Bob Rasmussen. Dk Pk lk JUNIOR PROM The class of 1929 gave one of the most enjoyable proms in the history of the school on Friday, May 11, in the high school gym. It was decorated to represent a japanese garden in pastel colors-principally green and pink. The guests were seated at small tables with colored covers. The programs, having pictures of the class officers on them and printing done in the japanese scrawl, were very clever. The features were a dance by Frankie Rinabarger, a duet by Betty Janes and Edith Stump, and a gymnastic dance by Goldie Higdon. Ralph Gill's orchestra furnished the music. ik lk Pk SENIOR RECEPTION The annual senior reception was given on Friday, May 18, by the class of 1928, in the gymnasium. The class colors of blue and gold were used for the decorative scheme. The scene was supposed to represent Greenwich Village. Clever silhouettes were used on the posts and lights. Pictures on the blue and gold programs showed a senior in cap and gown and a frosh standing before the entrance of the high school. Marguerite McAllister and Jane Schmidt served refreshments and Wore costumes to represent artists-one as a boy and the other as a girl. Don Provost's Pep Peddlers furnished the music.

J X11 in ri .MIL V I, tv Go Three times the winners of the Western Oregon gridiron cham- pionship and each time picked by the leading sport critics as the strongest eleven in the state, o n c e holder of the Oregon state bas- ketball title, once run- ner-up f o r th e same honors, t h r e e times placing t h i r d in the state hoop tournament, and out of seventeen campaigns in all four major sports in the Southern Oregon con- ference winning six- eqthletics Prink Callison teen times-that in brief is the exceptional record of Coach Prink Callison and the fighting T i g e r s during his five years as athletic m e n t o r of Medford High. f'Prink, as he is affectionately known to the student body and t o w n s p e o p l e alike, stands out as the most notable of Med- ford's long list of coaches. His wonderful leadership h a s justly won for him the repu- tation as the leading prep school mentor on the Pacific coast, if not in all the West. His ability to take a group of comparatively green men and in an incredibly short time develop that same aggregation into a consistent winner, has won the admiration of other coaches and of sport writers. Even more unusual is his success considering the fact that his carrer as a coach began with his first year's training of the Red and Black. While his leading line of athletitc endeavor during his school life has been football, this in no way has served as a visible handicap in producing winning combinations. Prink began his long football career in Eugene High School, where he turned out for the team while a freshman. His ability was recognized, as is apparent, for he made four letters while in that high school. The next step in his career was to respond to the call of the frosh coach at the University of Oregon and to be given a place on this squad. The next year he filled in as center on the varsity and won the coveted O for the first time in his sopho- more year. Following this, Prink', played two seasons, '19 and '20, for the Olympic Club at San Francisco, but, owning to the fact that the seasons are over in that city before they are fairly started at Oregon, he returned and once again donned an Oregon uniform, though a few weeks late. The next year Prink was again one of the mainstays of the Lemon Yellow forward wall. During his spectacular grid career he gained the reputation, which he still holds, of being one of the best pivot men ever to wear an Oregon uniform. While coaching athletics in Medford High School, Prink has not only developed stellar teams in all forms of competition, but has served also as a builder of character and manhood. Always instructing his men to play clean but never say die, he has won the respect of all. Hand in hand with the development of many winning teams, the stock in athletics has risen considerably during the year in which Coach Callison has led the Tigers. Though track has been discontinued for the last three years and baseball The Crater Page 91 -3125 WI- in fi 00 3 . is at present not a very popular sport, basketball and football are enjoying a wonderful period from both the financial and the public interest points of view. While it is very easy to make favorable predictions, it is not always easy to fullfil them. However, at the present time, it seems that baseball and track will soon be on the uphill climb. This period of stagnation in the Southern Oregon Conference is identical with periods which have marked the decline of those two sports in other districts. Of late years the rise of these two sports has marked a new era of competition, and it is probable that the same interest and support may be introduced here within a few years. V At present only one minor sport, tennis, is played by Henry Fisher Medford High students. With the promise of the con- struction of several courts for the high school next year, many new tennis enthusiasts will have a chance to try out for school squads. Closely allied with the success of athletics in Medford High is the business manager, or athletic manager, as he is often called. The athletic manager commands all preparations and affairs in connection with the athletic events. In the past the manager has instituted some original publicity stunts which have resulted in excellent financial gain to the Association Students. Advertising space in the grandstand has been sold to the business men of Medford and has afforded an excellent medium by which firms get their businesses before the public. In connection with the basketball season the business manager has all arrangements for reserving seats under his supervision. The manager accompanies the squads on most of the trips, makes the advance arrangements and secures necessary accommodations for the comfort of the athletes. The only other student body officer directly connected with athletics in the high school is the property manager. He has as his first duty the care of all athletic equipment that belongs to the high school. At the end of each season he sees that the equipment is cleaned, properly repaired and packed away. The dressing rooms are also in charge of this officer and are supposed to be kept by him in suitable condition for the accommodation of players. Marking the football field before each event of the gridiron is another responsibility of the office. This is done by freshmen volunteers under the manager's direction. As in every other high school where athletics are an important factor in school life, there is a letterman's society. The order of the M was organized in 1923, but officers are no longer elected, and its purpose now is largely honorary. The Medford High lettermen are in charge of traditions in the school and during frosh initiation all offenders are subject to rulings by that body. The lettermen of the various schools in the Southern Oregon Conference have been more active this year than for some time. On May 16 a lettermen's Cecil Davis Page 92 The Crater lllllgb 9 ...f Y-V' ' W 0 0 ri Order of MH banquet, which all athletes who had made the award for some major sport, were eligible to attend, was held at Ashland. john Greene, the yell king, and Bob Rasmussen, his assistant, led the student body in backing up the football and basketball teams. These two men worked out some very clever and original stunts for rallies and pep assemblies. For the iirst time the yell king was awarded an emblem as a symbol of his office, a fact which should serve as an incentive for future leaders to put forth greater effort. The yell leaders and the student body are to be complimented especially on the wonderful showing made at the state bas- ketball tournament. The num- ber of rooters and the support they accorded the Tigers was the subject for comment by everyone at the tournament. Considering the distance the Medford rooters had to travel and the size of the school, the local supporters had by far the best percentage of backers at Salem. The support under the direction of john Greene had a great deal to do with the placing of the Medford live as , John Greene runner-up at the tournament. Bob Rasmussen The Crater Page 93 G' 000 ' illllfl- 'rf ' '-'T Us run. , I 1' 60 illlihli uliliu a.- a m' Goofball Medford's success on the gridiron has been right- fully attributed to the superior ability of Coach Prink Callison. The Red and Black 's triumphant march over all obstacles to leading claimants for the state championship only continued the unbroken string of victories under the Callison regime. While this year's aggregation was heavier than at any other time in recent years, it was not at all slow -in fact, many of the plays were based essentially on speed. The combination made possible the use of power plays, deception plays, and an excellent aerial attack with equal success against all opponents. In spite of the fact that only eight lettermen of the 1926 team returned, very few of the '25 men, who answered the call at he first of the season, could be classed as green material. Spring foot- ball had drilled these men thoroughly in the funda- ooaeh Callison mentals of the Callison style, so that they were e ready to start actual work the first thing in the fall. Of the veterans who reported, there were the invincible Bernie Hughes, a veritable Gibraltar, at center, Jack Hughes at one of the guard positions, and Demmer, giant two-stripe tackle and punter. Both of the ends were taken care of from the start by Biden and MacDonald. In the backiield the experienced and flashy Moore was a cinch at the left half, but neither Newland, who had been alternate full, or Frederick, another halfback, seemed quite ready to hold down first string posts. From the second string of the year before came Stoehr, Prock and Bowerman, all linemen, and Day, who had done some work in the backfield. Three newcomers in the persons of Harrell and Garnett from Ashland, and Swanson from Roseburg, were on hand to begin work. For a time it seemed the only redeeming feature of the squad would be its weight, but under the watchful eyes of Coach Callison the outfit slowly began to round into form as men were gradually fitted into new positions in an effort to create a smooth working machine. That the loss of Morgan, two-year stellar tackle, who scaled around 190, would be felt became apparent, but soon came the cheering news that he was returning from Portland and would be ready to take his place in the lineup. Stoehr had already been made guard, and in the backfield Newland speedily found his position as running mate at half with Moore. Harrell and Day were lighting it out for the fullback berth and Garnett and Swanson were seen to be the best bets for the signal calling job. When the first game, the alumni contest, was played, jack Hughes was on the sick list, so Prock filled in at guard. The Medford eleven lined ,upikwith Biden and MacDonald at ends, Demmer and Morgan at the tackle positions, fand' B.

Before the game was over several men had seen action. It was in this fray that the first signs of strength became apparent when the high school handed the graduates a 13-O trouncing after the old-timers had been conceded the game easily by most sport scribes. Then came the depressing period caused by the quarantine. This bad break came just when followers of the team had predicted the best season in the history of the school. For three weeks the infantile paralysis epidemic interfered, and several of the most important contests were canceled. By the time the danger of the plague was passed, the season's schedule was shattered almost beyond repair, it seemed. Nevertheless, all during that three weeks those of the squad who were over six- teen years of age, held the daily practice sessions and worked faithfully to attain mid-season form. At last the spell was broken and the Oregon Frosh r outlit invaded local territory and fell before the Tigers by a 12-6 count. Here the effects of the broken schedule showed up and only at a few inter- vals were the Red and Black able to hit their stride and exhibit any real football. After this game the team cleaned up everything in Southern Oregon and both the Chemawa Indians and Corvallis. They then signed up for a game with the Mc- Loughlin, which was looked forward to by sport followers all over the state. The 44-0 win over the Pioneers is now history, and the victorious Tigers were hailed as state cham- pions. By comparative scores the lighting Medford eleven had easily the best record in the state.

The game was slowed down considerably by the fumbles of both teams, and by the inex- perience of the high school. When the alumni did get a drive started down the field, it looked like a sure score, but - their hopes were blasted when Moore they got within scoring distance Slvanson only to fumble. It was then the high school's turn to take the offensive, and they surprised even themselves by marching, with a series of line bucks to the alumni goal, where Harrell crashed through center for the first score. The game then settled back to the drab form of previous quarters until Moore broke away for a long run and a score that put the game on ice. MEDFORD 13-FROSH 6 Following a quarantine which had threatened to break up the entire football schedule, a game was booked with Oregon Frosh. Medford's powerful team had gone untried for three weeks from the opening of the season except for a game with the alumni. Both teams played slow ball throughout the game except for a short time in the third quarter when attacks were released that netted scores for each. During the Iirst half, neither team gained any advantage. Both teams tried passes and end runs, but the ball remained in the middle of the field. The third quarter started off with a burst of speed when Demmer kicked the ball to the Frosh fullback, who side-stepped and pivoted around the entire Medford team Herriott passes in Alumni game Page 96 The Crater 9 N ' 1 .2 Demmer, Havre-l', Morgan for the first score of the game. The try for extra point failed. This score seemed to wake the Tigers from their listlessness, and a drive was started down the field that the Frosh were unable to stop until the Medford team had tied the score. This score was too close for the general comfort of the Medford teamg so Racey Moore, led by perfect interference, dashed sixty yards for the last score. The final quarter was spent in slow ball with the Frosh vainly trying to score through an aerial attack and the Medford team always punting out of danger until the final whistle stopped the game with the score, 13-6. MEDFORD 94-KLAMATH FALLS 0 Medford ran up the largest score of the season on the Klamath Pelicans in the Pelicans' own fish pond. A hard tussle was expected with the Klamath Eleveng but, soon after the opening whistle, when Swanson galloped through the Klamath team for the first score, a walk-away was assured. The Medford backs continued to go through the Pelicans' defense for score after score, at half time, the Tigers had rolled up a score of 54-0.

MEDFORD 6, CHEMAWA INDIANS 0 What proved to be the most difficult game of the season was played with the Redskins from up state. The dope was against the Tigers, and even the loyal Med- ford supporters feared for the scalps of the Medford eleven. The teams were so closely matched that only one opportunity was given to the Braves to score, and on that occasion they were turned back by Medford's stone wall defense. The Indians made their threat during the first and were kept busy the remainder of the game in checking Medford's powerful offensive drives. Both teams attempted off tackle plays and end runs during the first half, which netted small gains but which were not consistent enough to be real threats because of the strong defense of both teams.

First, Demmer kicked off to the Indians, who ran the ball back 15 yards and then clipped off 16 more on an off tackle play. The Medford line then stiffened, held the Indians for downs, and forced them to punt. Swanson was dropped before he had gone five yardsg then Newland ran 15 yards on a crisscross, Next came a 30-yard pass by Moore to Bowerman who ran the ball to the one-foot line, where he was tackled by the Indian safety. Another play put the ball over. Medford had another opportunity to score a little later, but the Indians held. MPIDFORD 72-ASHLAND 7 The Armistice Day game between Medford and Ashland started with a dash down the field by Swanson to the Ashland goal. This run for a touchdown and another soon after by Moore started a series of scores that threatened to out-do the Klamath field meet, The quarter ended with Medford in possession of the ball on the Ashland fif- teen-yard line and with two touchdowns chalked up for the Tigers.

Ashland then received the ball but was forced to punt out of danger to the Medford team, who carried it back into Ashland territory to score. The Tigers came back as strong in the second half as in the first and kicked off to the bewildered Ashland team. The pass which they tried was intercepted by Moore, who galloped thirty yards to the goal. Another score was made through center and around end by Red Day. In the final quarter, Newland scored one touchdown, and Garnett, two, making Medford's tinal score 72. Ashland started a drive, after most of Medford's second team was in, that took them to the five-yard line where an end run put over their only touchdown. The goal was kicked, leaving the final score 72-7. MEDFORD 39-CORVALLIS 6 Medford's only meeting with an upstate team came when the Corvallis Maroons invaded Southern Oregon in search of Tiger meat and attempted to get revenge for the drubbing handed them the year before by Medford.

Garnett kicked the goal, thus giving Medford a one-point lead. Another drive down the Iield put Medford in scoring distance. Newland crossed the line again and Garnett converted the goal, giving Medford a firmer hold on the lead. Another score was made when Ben Harrell broke away to run for a touchdown, making the score at the half 20-6 in Medford's favor. ' Medford came back in the second half with the same 'light that had held the Maroon Eleven in the first and soon had the ball on the Corvallis fifteen-yard line, where a fake reverse by Harrell put the pigskin over. In the last quarter, Crawford, Corvallis pilot, threw all caution aside and started an aerial attack which at times threatened the Medford goal. Medford crossed the- line once more before the final whistle to make the score 39-6.

All of the second string was in the line at the opening whistle, but their only suc- cessful drive across the Ashland goal was called back for offside. The teams battled for possession of the ball through most of the first half, with Ashland having a little advantage. just before the end of half time, the Medford first string was sent in. The battling Ashland Eleven proved too much for the 'regularsg and N utter, Ashland quarter, heaved a beautiful thirty-yard pass to Leedom, who made the first score. The try for goal failed. This Ashland score put the Medford team on their toes, and they started a drive down the field that seemed sure toscore, but the half time left Ash- land in the lead. Ashland changed their tactics in the second half and started an aerial attack that mislead the Medford Tigers through the final periods. Their passes worked mirac- ulously and will be recalled for years to come when Ashland meets Medford. The Red and White team pushed the ball to the home goal where the Medford wall stiffened and held them for downs. Then a plunging attack was started back down the field, ending with a pass from Moore to Swanson that put the ball on the five-yard line and a plunge through center by Harrell that tied the score. The try for point went wide of the goal. , On the next kick-off Ashland received the ball but lost it on an intercepted pass. Medford then carried it back to Ashland's twenty-yard line where no amount of live plunging could break through their forward wall. Ashland's first play was a pass, which Demmer knocked downg Dame fortune caused it to land in the arms of the fleet Red MacDonald, who sped across the goal line to give Medford her second touch- down. Swanson converted the goal that won the game, Ashland received the ball and repeated their aerial attack. Pass after pass was completed until the ball was worked inside of the Medford twenty-five-yard line. A pass was then heaved by Nutter to McGee, who crossed the goal, making the score l3-12. Ashland's attempted goal failed, and Medford held a one-point lead. Med- ford received the ball on the next kick off and pushed it into Ashland territory where any scoring chances were ended by the fmal whistle. MEDFORD 44-McLOUGHLIN 0 Following the Ashland defeat, negotiations were started for the first time to settle Oregon's football championship. Mac Hi was the first team to make suitable arrange- mentsg and, as time was valuable, the contract was concluded and the Medford ag- McLoughlin finds Newland hard to atop.

After a two days' ride on the train, the Tiger crew rolled into Walla Walla to make camp until Saturday, December 3, at which time the game was to be played. One day was spent in rest after the hard travel. The following afternoon the entire squad journeyed to Whitman College to have a light work out and to get used to the turf field. The Mac Hi student body sent cars to convey the Medford team to Milton, where the game was to be called. Besides these cars, other automobiles loaded with Mac Hi rooters came to see what the Medford team looked like in street clothes and to accom- pany them to the field as a guard of honor. With the opening whistle Mac Hi kicked the pigskin far down the field into the arms of Ben Harrell, diminutive Medford full back, who was downed in his tracks. On the first play Harrel failed to gaing but, on the next, led by perfect interference, he tore around end to the McLoughlin four-yard line before he was brought down by the opponent's star, Hufford. The first attempt to score by Swanson failedg but, on the next he carried it over for the initial score of the game, exactly three minutes after the opening whistle. The try for point failed. Both teams lined up again and Med- ford kicked to the McLoughlin team. Hufford received the ball but made only a few yards. After cracking the Medford line three times, Hufford made yardage. How- ever, three more attempts failed to make a gain, so he punted to Swanson, who ran the ball back for fifty yards where he was brought down by Hufford on the Mac Hi thirty- live-yard line. On the first play after the ball was down, Harrell packed the pumpkin to the fifteen-yard line. Then a line buck by Harrell put the ball on the one-foot line. Swanson's off tackle play put it over for the second score. Swanson kicked the goal. With the beginning of the second quarter, Moore blocked Hufford's puntg and, two plays later, he carried the ball fifty-live yards for the third touchdown. The next score came when Moore heaved a short pass to Red MacDonald, who galloped around the Mac Hi secondary defense to the zero line. McLoughlin then received the ball and tried desperately to get through the Medford line. They were held for downs, Medford took the ball and marched to the five-yard line, where Day went through center and scored. After a short hold by McLoughlin, Moore sifted through the op- ponent's line to score. The fourth quarter found Medford still punching and driving until another score, which set the final count at 44-0, was made.

A ll wazskelfbull With only four eligible lettermen back to begin the season's Work the outlook for a winning live was anything but optimistic. After the seniors had taken the class title from the highly touted junior outfit, Prink had only Dew, Newland, MacDonald and Biden from the 1927 squad, who had 'played enough time to wear an UM. Garnett and Swanson, who had played the year before for Ashland and Rose- burg, respectively, turned out, as did some thirty other aspirants for the team. The other two letter- men, Melvin and Phipps, reported for practice daily but were ineligible to play until the second semester. When the second semester opened, Dew and New- land became ineligible for further competition be- cause of having too many credits, a fact which pre- vents participation as ruled by the state athletic association. The new outfit which tossed the casaba 1 around the maple court consisted of Melvin and Coach Callison MacDonald at forwards, Garnett and Morgan at guards and Phipps in his old place at center. joining in the honors of the 1928 season are Swanson, Bernie Hughes, Bowerman, and Thomas, whose ability to fill gaps in the lineup when called upon helped material- ly in establishing glory for Callison's lighting eight. MEDFORD 15, ALUMNI 26 In the opening tilt of the season the High team was humbled by the alumni, who proved too strong in the last half for the undergraduates. The high school got off to ua good start, led by MacDonald, and won the first quarter, 4-1. During the next Canto this slight lead was overcome by the graduates, who led, 10-8, at the half line. In the linal half the alumni set the high school back to win by a score of 26-15. MEDFORD 19-39, KLAMATH FALLS 17-13 Medford's first meet with the Pelicans was a complete surprise to Medford sup- porters. Klamath got away for an early lead in the first quarter, which ended with a score of 7-3. At half time the visitors maintained a one-point lead. In the third quarter Medford succeeded in getting a score of 13-12. MacDonald saved the game at the end by converting two free throws and giving Medford a two-point lead. Medford's second encounter with the Pelican team proved Medford's superiority. The Tigers got away to an early lead,'which they maintaind and increased throughout the game to win by a count of 39-13. MEDFORD 49, GANTS PASS 6 Medford thoroughly humbled the Grants Pass five in the second scheduled game of the season. Hughes and MacDonald showed scoring honors and led Medford in a scoring melee that ended 38-1 at half time. The second half saw all the subs in action, but they also proved superior to the baflled Cave Men. Grants Pass' final. score was far below Medford's 49.

MEDFORD 17, OREGON FROSH 25 The Oregon Frosh successfully invaded the Medford territory and defeated Med-' ford's five. The Frosh were unable to work effectively during the first quarter, and Medford held them to a 4-4 tie. Archer, ex-Medford luminary, led the Frosh in a swing attack in the second quarter that netted the Frosh a lead of 12-7 to rest on during half time. The third canto found the Red and Black rallying. MacDonald and Newland began to sink long shots that soon put the Frosh on the defensive to hold their lead. In spite of the rally, the Frosh still led at the end of the third period with a score of 17-15. In the final quarter the Frosh again found the basket and sank counter after counter, to end the game with a score of 25-17. ' MEDFORD 35-34, ROSEBURG 11-8 Medford's first encounter with the Roseburg Chiefs was disastrous for the northerners. Medford was unable to get a start during the first two quarters, due principally to the Roseburg team's slow break, and as a result had only a two-point lead at the end of the half. In the final half Medford's attack was led by Dew, who alone made more points than the entire Roseburg team. Baskets were swished from every angle during the last quarter to make the final score 35-11. Medford's second encounter was much the same in score, but the Tigers were more consistent in heaving baskets. The score at half time was 14-5. In the second half more points were piled up until the second string was put in. The subs worked even better than the regulars, and in the short time that they were in, succeeded -in making the score 34-8 in Medford 's favor. The Crater Page 105 fi n usnnu. 0'o J MEDFORD 30-20, SALEM 22-22. Salem's barnstorming trip would have been very success- ful if she had not encountered Callison's fighting Tigers. Salem, led by Lyons, showed superior driving power the first quarter. Although they led off by a score of 6-4, they were un- able to stand the pace set by the Medford five. At the half Medford led with the score 9-8. Fofwefd In the third quarter Medford entirely outclassed the Willamette Valley team and led 19-10, A fourth quarter stall was too much for the Salem team, and they failed to rally. The game with Salem the next night was a comeback for the defeated team, as they trounced the Medford five, even using Medford's famous stall to win by a score of 22-20 over the Medford five, who could not solve the Salem team's change in tactics. MEDFORD 32, ASHLAND 22 In the first encounter of the ancient rivals, Medford and Ashland, both teams exhibited the same fighting spirit that has prevailed in previous encounters. In the first quarter MacDonald drew first blood by sinking a long field goal that left the spectators breathless. Katzer, Ashland forward, repeated the same shot for Ashland and the battle was on in earnest. Medford led 10-4 at quarter time. Ashland's rally in the third quarter added seven points to her score, making the count even at twenty. In the last quarter Medford sank two baskets, one by Melvin and one by Garnett. Then the stall was started. The ball was passed from one man to the next, and then a dash was made down the floor for a basket. Points were piled up until the whistle sounded, with the score 32-22. MEDFORD 21, ASHLAND 12 Medford's second encounter of the four-game series with Ashland resulted in a second scalp for the Tiger squad. The first chapter was hotly contested, but Medford led 5-2 at its end. Ashland came back battling in the next frame and checked the Medford team successfully while fattening their own score to tie the game at nine all for half time. Medford's endurance showed, during the next quarter, Melvin, Phipps and Mac- Donald in turn popping at the basket until ten more points were gained. In the final quarter all the subs were put in. They, too, held the baflied Ashland nve in check until the eight-minute period cut off Ashland's hope of rallying. P MEDFORD 33, ASHLAND 5 The third game of this series resulted in a one-sided score in Medford's favor. The first quarter started off with both teams battling for supremacy. Phipps and Swanson heaved baskets from uncanny angles, and Katzer starred for Ashland. The Medford casaba heavers were more accurate, however, and led with the score 8-2. Page 106 The Crater ' 'tiff ii' I. v--- - ' . 'i nf fl o ,iv 1,0 1 0 illilhfil illllllhlil ...., fm' Dew, McDonald, Newland The next quarter was a shutout as far as Ashland was concerned. Not so with Medford. Swanson, Phipps and Garnett continued to roll the ball through the hoop to make the half time score 20-2. The third quarter was another shutout on Ashland, but Medford chalked up five more points, ending the game with a score of 33-5. MEDFORD 39, ASHLAND 15 The final game with Ashland was a listless affair with little action and much scoring. Again Medford kept pounding away at the Ashland basket. Phipps heaved three baskets and two free throws. Swanson made four swishers and one free throwg Mac- Donald, three iield goals and three fouls, and Garnett, four field goals and one free throw. These players were then removed to make room for the subs who craved action. The second string was not so successful in holding Ashland on this occasion, and Ashland threw several basketsiand made many threats before the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter Ashland made three more swishers with a final count of 15 to Medford's 39. MEDFORD 58-26, CENTRAL POINT 16-13 Medford's first encounter with Central Point resulted in a rough but overwhelm- ing victory for Medford. The first quarter was speedy but Medford outpointed the Challengers 12-4. Another shutout resulted from the second quarter play, but Medford continued to hit the hoop until the end of the iirst half, the score being 22-4. Central Point was completely outclassed during the next half, and Medford con- tinued scoring to make the count 58-16. The second game in the Central Point match-box was entirely too rough for the Medford five, so at the half, with a small lead, a stall was started. As a result, neither team scored, and Central Point did not touch the ball during this period. The Central Pointers tried to solve Medford 's stall in the next quarter but were unsuccessful. The game ended 26-13. MEDFORD 32, TILLAMOOK 20 Medford's-opening game in the basketball tourney was played with the Tillamook Cheese Slingers. The Crater Page 107 6. In L . X 'J L Ili ef 0 0 -9 1 Garnett, Phipps, Swanson Tillamook looked like the victors during the first quarter when james, their star forward, began dropping the ball through the hoop from unheard-of distances. Med- ford succeeded in ringing up only 4 points to Tillamook's 8 in this period. In the second quarter, Medford pulled down a few more counters, but Tillamook continued to ring the bell with alarming regularity. MacDonald dropped one through just before the whistle for half time, which made the score, Medford 11, Tillamook 14. The second half brought the Tigers out fighting. They held the Cheese Slingers and jumped into the lead. Phipps began dropping the ball through with consistency while Morgan, who made an all-state position, checked the Tillamook basketeers until, at the end of the third quarter, the score stood 25 to 17. Medford started the stall in the last quarter and proved too much for the opponents. Medford's lead kept on increasing until, at the final gun, the Tigers held at 12-point lead. MEDFORD 40, THE DALLES 11 Medford succeeded in looping only three shots through the ring during the first period, but one consolation was that The Dalles made only three points. The second quarter was as slow as the first, but MacDonald lobbed a couple in while Garnett and Swanson were each responsible for one basket, making the score 14-7 at the half. . The second half saw all the subs in and pouring action into the game, while The Dalles was held to four points. Bowerman, Hughes and Swanson, who had replaced the regulars, put even more pep into the game than had the regulars. During the last half 26 points were rung up for Medford, making the total 40 to 11 and elimi- nating The Dalles from the championship play. MEDFORD 21, SALEM 20 The third encounter of the season between Medford and Salem occurred in the semi-finals of the State Tournament. Medford stepped into the lead in the first quarter when Melvin dropped in two long shots. Beechler, Salem center, scored one basket and a free throw, followed soon after by a side shot, which finished the scoring for the quarter with 6-3. Beechler was the only man to register for Salem in the next quarter, but two baskets and two free throws raised Salem's count to nine. Melvin dropped in one Page 108 The Crater 'K J: 1' 1 f I I'i!1-. f- 7 ' -YI v V , 'ln I 9 0 lllillril 1' ullllluzu- . ill: Bowerman, Hughes, Thomas more basket while Phipps and Garnett each poked the ring for a basket to make the score 12-9 at the half. Both teams came back battling in the third quarter, but Medford still clung to the lead by sinking two long shots and one from beneath the basket, these being heaved respectively by Phipps and MacDonald. Salem managed to crawl a little closer during this period by registering enough swishers to set the score at 18-15. Full strength was turned loose in the final quarter by Salem in an attempt to overtake Medford but, in spite of the fact that they outscored the Tigers in the final quarter, the previous lead left Medford holding an advantage of one point with which to get into the final game. MEDFORD 23, WASHINGTON 27 One of the fastest tournament games ever played on the Willamette fioor was fought out between Washington, of Portland, and Medford, in the final game of the Ninth State Tournament. Washington started the scoring soon after the tip-off when Dolph, who won for himself an all-state berth, lobbed a long shot through the basket. Medford jumped into the lead soon after by a short shot by MacDonald, a free throw by Morgan, and again an exceptionally long shot by MacDonald. Washington found the basket for two more scores and Medford once before the quarter ended, making the score 7-6 with Medford leading. With the first of the second quarter Dolph and Inman each sank a basket, tying the score. The playing continued fast and furious for the remainder of the half, but the only score was made by Melvin, which gave Medford the lead, 13-11. Lewis started scoring in the second half with a one-handed shot beneath the basket. Melvin brought the lead back to Medford by a shot from the foul line. Phipps heaved one through the ring, but Lewis and Dolph each got a basket, giving Washington the lead, 18-17. In spite of it being the fourth quarter, both teams speeded up. Medford got into the lead, 21-18, with four minutes to go, and started 'to stall. Lewis put the Colonials ahead with a shot over his head and a free throw. Melvin tied the score just before the final gun. The first overtime period went scoreless, but in the second, Dolp gained two pretty shots to give Washington the game, 27-23.

Blimm, green grocer of Chicago, Ill., emerged from the inner Sanctum of the Evening Sphere with a smoking revolver in his hand, and announced with a shcepish grin that he had just shot the editor. Completely disre- garding the cheers of the staff, Mr. Blimm walked into the police station and gave himself up. The event came as a complete surprise to Blimm's family, as well as t'o the other members of the choir of the First Baptist church, for Mr. Blimm was a man of idle habits, never used tobacco, and had even been known on two occasions to be kind to children. When interviewed by reporters in his lonely little cell, Mr. Blimm firmly refused to give out his views on the League of Nations for publication. However, after steady grilling of three hours, Mr. Blimm broke down, produced the article printed below and cried, My God, is this not a greater crime than tricamy? CTricamy, Mr. Blimm later explained, is a term of his own coinage meaning to have three wives. That being in his estimation a worse thing than having twob. The Inquiring Reporter thus came into possession of thc valuable article following, clipped from the Sphere of Nov. 18th which is the nine hundred and thirty-second installment of t'he great domestic dilemma, Married Strife.

Score, 39 to 1 in favor of the victors. Every inning of the grim battle was desperate, and the tangle threatened to go into extra cantos when in the last frame Al Melvin of the Sox gang bunted and regained consciousness on the initial sack. Some skillful arm work on the part of Jack Hughes, in the box for the Collars, pulled them out of the hole, however, and the close of the game found Melvin still sleeping soundly on the first bag. The most outstanding factor in favor of the Collar group was the work of Red McDonald on the mound for the Golfers. During the first three innings he held his opponents to 43 hits, but after that his offerings were not so dangerous and the rival throng soaked the pill quite fre- quently. Bill Bowerman, of the Arrow nine, was rudely awakened in the last half of the sixth when Bill Morgan, Sox favorite, was hit on the sky-piece by a foul ball, the bounding pellet went wild and landed a direct hit on Bowerman, who was piggin-g in left field.

Day refused to be moved to a fielding position because of the long walk in to the bench. How I Became Popular Over Night ...-... Twenty years ago I could not dance a step. I was all run down, with terrible pains in my back and sides, and I suf- fered pangs of envy when I heard my sister play her banjo. I was a mess, how I envied the slender figure of my next door neighbor! I could not understand why he had left me so abruptly without a word of explanation. It only made me the more conscious of my own crudities. One day I read an ad of yours entitled Free Sample. I followed directions carefully, and bought the saxophone which you give free with every life order. Now I can't keep the men away from the house, I am overrun with dates, my time is not even my own. I will never be able to thank you enough. All I can say is God Bless Bunk Short, and his six easy lessons to popularity. A Loving Pupil, RUTH ELLA DICKERSON.

Endorsed by thinking elergymen Is C ompanionate Love Immoral? Reading Time, 2 Periods Qlfy B. H. Cozzklzj I was an innocent country girl when it all began. But alas, it was not fated to endure. My father, a fashionable poultry farmer, had pledged my hand in marriage to the hired man in lieu, as I afterwards discovered, of fifty cents in back wages. He was a veritable beast. Mytface went scarlet at the mere thought of it all. I hated him and his country ways. So I left home and sought success among the bright lights of New York. Soon I became head buyer for a large department store. Then I met Prince Callison and my troubles began. He was an athletic coach with a face like a Greek god. He offered me love-companionship. And I, poor butterfly that I was, how was I to know he had a wife and seven children in Rochester? He told me I was his dream girlf, his 'fmatef' and once while we were seated in a palatial cafeteria his fingers caressed the silken tresses of my locks. He spoke tenderly into my shell-like ear. whispering words of love. I drank in every syllable. He breathed my name. Then he exhaled it. Our lips met elegantly in a refined kiss. I was lifted to thc heights. Happiness came to me on the wings of the morning. I had loved as only a woman can. The afternoon sped by on golden wings. Then he left. I was disconsolate but soon dried my tears and sought solace in my work. During this time I had become part owner of the high school in which I Page 1 Z0 The Crater illl u. . 'J' , ni fi 50 J - worked and found many matters to occupy my attention. I put on a mask of gaiety and was much sought after for parties among the society folks of the city. They were real kind to me and often asked, Maurine Carroll, why don't you marry and settle down P But I laughed at their solicitude and refused many a catch of the season while they marveled at my cynical indifference. Then Lee, good kindly Leland Knox, swam into my ken Che used the Australian crawl stroke-and howlb and the ashes of love were rekindled by a miracle. He was a high school teacher in an exclusive neighborhood and had money to burn. Our regard for each other was mutual, but on our wedding day the heavens fell. I had gone for a walk in the moonlight and there blocking my path was-Prince. He had come back and stood there feasting his eyes upon my youth and beauty. Go out of my life, Princej, I screamed, swallowing my pride. But he did not go. And then Lee came up. And now I have Lee no longer, or Prince either. For he was killed in a drunken brawl a short time afterward. Why do I write this, I wonder? Well, perhaps some young girl will read it and profit and so my life will not have been in vain. I hope so, anyway. And so my message to you girls is this: When your parents start bossing you and crabbing about your habits, tell them where to get off. If they get too fresh, walk out on them. Because even if the primrose path isnt' everything that it's cracked up H be. home life in America isn't so hot, either.

CContinued from Page 1171 Then he sat quietly down in his neatly groomed evening clothes, and one by one he began to pull off his varnished riding boots. His mind was not on his work, and he flipped them absently at his sister Amelia, striking her squarely in the pit of the stomach. Harold,,' she cried, rising to her feet, that was wrong of you. You must have been thinking I was your dear, dead wife. ' Harold jumped up. t'Laura, where are you ? he cried. But answer there came none. He dropped to his knees and looked under the radiator. She wasn't there. She w:isn't anywhere. Oh God! Then he dropped his head on his hands with a loud thud and began to sob, great reverbe-rating sobs that rocked the house and finally shook from the mantel- piecr- a fifty-pound alabaster of Venus rising from the sea. just then McGinty, the faultless English butler, garbed, in spotless attire, entered soundlessly to see if he couldn't help in the uproar. Ain't there nothing I can do, ma'am?,' he said in faultless English to Amelia. A highland iiing or a simple clog step with incidental whistles? Whether it was watering the whiskey or poisoning the babies, MoGinty always had an idea. f'Look at him! cried Amelia, pointing the finger of scorn at Harold writhing on the floor. What would you do P McGinty smiled his slow, kind smile of sympathy. Throw him a fish! he said, and retreated into the pantler's butry. When he had gone Amelia collected her clammy features into a sneer. Yon and your complexes, she howled, when the only trouble with you is, you will go without your winter flannelsf' Oh, hush, said Harold with tense calm, and having reached the limit of his patience he picked up the alabaster and let it fall, ever so gently, on Amelia's head. He was alone at last. But not for long. Softly, mysteriously, the outside door op--ned with a loud clang, and a woman stood before him, her simple features clad in a black traveling suit. Harold, Harold, she cried, and there were several hundred calories of passion in lic--r voice, don't you remember me? I am your dear wife Laura. You should reinnniber me you know. We went to school together. For a moment Harold remained in moody silence, absent-mindedly carving his initials in the Queen Anne table. Then a light spread over his rugged, well kept face. .!...-....-....-.. ---------.... .. ---. -....... - -..- ....-...gr I : 2 .

Yes, yes, of course. I might have known. I recall you quite distinctly now. By the way, what do you think, Laura, of the Muscle Shoals proposition ? A Oh Harold, giggled Laura, get your mind out of the gutter, will you? Then she suddenly began to cry. He hasn't been true to me, Harold. Harold's line frame quivered. 'tTrue? Who? How do you expect me to keep track of them? There are so many. The last one, of course, silly, said his wife. Well, I suppose I ought to shoot him if he hasn't been true to you, said Harold. But I suppose there is some game law protecting him. Harold, she simpered prettily, I have come back to you. There was no answer. Harold! I have come back to you. Still no answer. HHAROLD! - she stamped her pretty little foot. At the sound of the stamping, Amelia stirred. For God's sake stop that racket! she cried, and lapsed into her habitual unconsciousness. Harold, it's Amelia that' driving me from your home. Is it? hissed Harold, suddenly tense, then with lips bared back over his magnificent teeth he asked, 'fWhy are you here ? His wife stopped as though struck by a passing express train. I'll bite, she cried. Why am I here ? Then she became hysterical. Harold, tell me, why am I here? Oh, why am I here ? But Harold Arbuthnot was equal to any situation. He had not been a fireman on the B. 81 O. for twelve years for nothing. Think! Think! he gasped, his fine lips curled inwards. Is it a word in twelve letters meaning creosote ? Then his whole tone changed. He seemed to forget the woman who stood before him. He forgot everything, anything. Take a letter, he roared at the prostrate form of Amelia. When Harold was disturbed, he always had someone take a letter. f My darling wife, he began, then added, Coma The great whirring mechanism that was the brain of Harold Arbuthnot began to work. He was off. Yours of the 17th received and considered and in reply would say in regard to your diminishing affections that I remember distinctly shipping the keg of nails of which you speak on the 13th. Of course if you insist on employing morons in your department, you can only expect- My God! he shouted, jumping to his feet. 'Tm all wrong! The world's all wrong! You've gone wrong! She held out her slim, pale fragile, lovely hands to him in a gesture that made her seem simply beautiful and beautifully simple. Harold! Harold! Can't you see I've come back to you?

'tWell. why P Oh, Haroldj, Laura giggled girlishly, you should have been a chiropractor. You always want to know the why of everything. Well, why ?'! insisted Harold with that masculine determininity which is the real reason for the spread of halitosis, and arched his fine brows. Because,', she simpered, and she blushed, a beautiful rosy blush, as she hadn't blushed since that never-to-be-forgotten time when she lost her petticoat at the Junior Prom. Because, she gurgled, and held up a little knitted jacket. t'Oh Harold, I have only known you fourteen years, I hardly know how to tell you. Say it with cauliflowersf' growled Harold, his masculine voice thick as cough syrup. Then her maidenly reserve broke down. It,s that-that I forgot my overshoes! As soon as Harold could tear himself free, he ran to the sewing cabinet in search of a shoe horn. He threw wide the door, and drew back, tense, white faced! The aspirin was not there!
