'33 Dedication IN POIGNANT REALIZATION OF THE SPIRIT OF TRANSITION, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE NEW MEDFORD HIGH AND THE BUOYANT VISION AND CREATIVENESS OF THE YOUTH, DESTINED TO ONE DAY FORM THE GREATER SCHOOL. WE DEDICATE THIS YEARBOOK TO THE REPRE- SENTATIVE OF THAT GROUP OF STUDENTS, DICK APPLEGATE. STUDENT LEADER AND PAL. O BCQKS I K Memories K Realities R Fantasies Ui STACATTO HAMMERING beats a pean of progress as the timbers are erected, gaunt signs of future strength etched against the sky. Every day brings us closer to the realization that after this tangled maze of constructive effort has been for- gotten the new Medford high can take her plane in the city of beautiful buildings. CO NFUSION marks the march of progress as the south wing of the men's gym takes tangible form. A long summer of drudging toil will bring order from that confusion to make possible a greater era in athletic supremacy at the new Medford High. CHALLENGING THE IMAGINATION is to consider that what now exists a tangled labyrinth of con- crete forms and bracings will soon resound to sound of scurrying feet as, between classes, stu- dents ascend the two ramps which will be visible through the mass of timbers. UPON THIS FOUNDATION is rising the new audi- torium, mute testimony of an untiring effort for a better groundwork for the cap and bells. This little theatre will seat twelve hundred people when the summer's work has, been forgotten. ! 1 s we I .

This board is the executive body of the Medford school system. The ultimate aim of the board is to discover and develop the best means of pre- paring the students for college or a position. Although the school board has accomplished a number of things, perhaps the most important undertaking has been the passage of a bond issue for a new high school of 30 rooms. an auditorium. and two gymnasiums. It is now under construction on the South Oakdale site. This bond issue carried by a 12 to l majority, which shows the confidence that the townspeople have in the administration. One of the factors which the school board is pleased about this year is that the turnover in the teaching force is very low, comparatively speaking. The personnel of the Medford board of education consists of: Mark Jarmin, N. H. Franklin, C. C. Lemmon. H. V. Scheffel . R. IC. Green. Mrs. Rebecca Jensen, sec- retary-clerk. Y V V 15 TH E CIIATEI2, 'l93l ' l I 1 V The far-sightedness of p u r p o s e and constructive building of the last few years in lVIedford's school system can virtually be traced to E. H. Hedrick, whose policy of prompt action and sympa- thetic reasoning has made him an integral part of the Medford schools. Occupying a position with varied interests and many complications, Mr. Hedrick has by virtue of his conservaf tive spirit of helpfulness and ambition, blazed the way for a larger and greater school system. Steadily increasing in size and importance, the office of the chief executive of the local system has become in- creasingly trying but Mr. Y' MR E H HEDRICK Hedrick, through his forcef ' ' ' ful dealing, has succeeded not only in eminently filling his position but in winning a high place in the students' minds as well as those of his business associates. A rare blending of scholarliness with the practical business viewpoint has made Mr. Hedrick invaluable as a leader of the city's schools and the present wide building program can be laid at the feet of the school official whose ability so won the confi- dence of the citizens. Tactfulness and ability to find the crux of any action particular- ly suited Mr. Hedrick for the position of leader of such a progressive building prog- ram. The completion of Medford's beautiful new high school on South Oakdale, com- ing at practically the same time as the termination of work on the new Washington school. will be another testimonial to the ability of the guiding spirit of Medfords progressiveness. Steady improvement and added efficiency along routine lines and vast progress in new fields have marked the efforts of Mr. Hedrick in filling his posi- tion with such brilliant capability. 16 Tl-I E CIIATER, ' l93l ' 1 In keeping with the idea of modernizing Medford's educational system, C. G. Smith was last year named successor to the principalship of Medford high school and during the interim has prov- ed his worth as an executive through his ability to guide the school during a period of expansion unlike any pre- v i o u s l y experienced. Mr. Smith was appointed to the principalship after a brief teaching career when his marked capabilities disting- uished him as one well quali- fied to fill this extremely difficult position. Straighforwardness a n d initiative have distinguished Mr. Smith during his brief career as an executive which witnessed many needed and helpful innovations in the MR- C- G- SMITH high school. The school in general has undergone many changes which placed it on a much higher plane, reflect- ed in the increased cognizance of the high school by the community and state at large. The granting of additional privileges to students, many changes in time and study methods all tended to add materially to the increased smoothness with which school affairs were handled. The complete modernization of the system was highly successful and seemed in anticipation of the occupancy of the new school. State wide relations in athletics, for- ensics, and other fields all helped to broaden the scope of the high school. The com- pleteness and smoothness with which these were carried out greatly enhanced the name of Medford high school. Mr. Smith also worked exhaustively in planning the new school, the building of which will crown his efforts as principal. 17 TH E CRATEIZ, l93l 1 K 1 - - Miss DORIS BA1ER English University of Dubuoue Miss HARRIETT BALDWIN Music Univerxily of Oregon MR.

The present class arrived on the horizon just as the school was undergoing a change from knee breeches to long trousers and the fluctuating events of the past four years are no doubt results of being about in the growing-up period of an educa- tional institution. Taking up their high school duties just as Medford was moving into the present school, the class of '31 in customary greenness proceeded to launch upon an active career which has its culmination when Commencement ushers them into the ranks of the alumni and throws open to their successors the same role played so ably by them, the task of fitting into a new and broader school life and the creation of a greater' Medford high school. Settling complacently into school existence with a nominal number of activities dotted over the years, the present seniors were a bit perturbed as they noted the in- crease in numbers of the class as they progressed which finally made the building of a new school necessary. With the fading of scholastic endeavors into the maze of routine school life of the past, only occasional events chain together that band in the memory chain of a depart'- ing upperclassman. Halycon days of initiation, committees, the first big game, stand out with poign- ancy not overshadowed by passing memories of proms, receptions, and finally the im- pressiveness of graduation. All memories woven into the schooldays' existence which the yearbook records. After a varied career the class of '31, now seniors with a dignity befitting such a position, chose their officers to guide them through their final year as Medford stu- dents. Throughout their four years industrious and capable they again demonstrated ability to dispense with each arising activity with complete satisfaction. Consistent winners in the interclass athletics and leaders in scholastic endeavor and forensics, this class throughout its existence contributed some of its best talent to form the nu- cleus of many a representative Medford team. Some outstanding dramatic perform- ances Were presented by the class as Well as entertainments such as dances and carnivals. The feature of the final year with its succession of events was the class picnic Baccalaureate and farewell days climaxed the successful progress of the senior class with a completeness which needs no eulogies. 21 THE CIZATEIZ, ' ' -los I - - - Dick Applegate H zslory Football 2-3-4, Senior Play 4, Senior Play Student Director 4.

' l93l ' I Adra Edwards Wildon Flllllilllllll Max Carter Farwell Kenley zumior Glass A lackadaisical sophomoric air which pervaded the class for its opening two terms in Medford high school was thrust aside upon reaching the dignity of upperclassmen and the junior class during the past year established a record for activities with a diligence which was almost out of keeping with upperclass poise. Under the guidance of Prexy Adra Edwards. and Wildon Colbaugh, vice president, the junior class es- tablished a precedent for wide awake participation in activities which should be a sterling example for classes to follow. Indicating no lack of scholastic achievement through their prompt placing of mem- bers on the honor roll the juniors nevertheless found time to lead the school in partici- pation in, and sponsoring of various events. The junior carnival in February and the prom were the two outstanding achievements of the class and both events were over- whelming successes. Beautiful decorative motifs and well-planned concessions as well as the most minute details to insure the success of the functions were handled by large committees. The class treasury was swelled by the handling of food concessions at football and basketball games. In the carnival queen race, Billie Hammett, junior candidate won a heated contest and was crowned to reign over the ceremony in im- pressive fashion. A brilliant list of achievements dot the junior record for the year and much of this can be credited to a group of the fair sex who's attractiveness and ability enabled them capably to lead in any activity such as ticket sales or buying campaigns. The transaction of the vast amount of detailed work which follows in the wake of such an undertaking as a prom fell to the class officers who as heads of committees supervised the work. Busy participation in intramural sports, interclass forensics and the place of leading candidates in all fields marked the successful path of the juniors. Adra Edwards, naive prexy, beside handling her executive duties as president was the junior candidate for Prosperity queen and placed second in the contest. The execution of well planned decorative work seemed to be a class specialty as the juniors won frequent prizes for their beautifully decorated floats in civic and high school parades. Arthur L. Schoeni, class advisor, contributed much to the success- ful year. 37 rue cmnrln, v - 493: v ' ' E. Anderson M. .xlldHl'S0ll li. Applegate ll. Archer M. Arnspiger ll. Buslum G. llzlrrington H.

David Lowry Wayne Lowry Nell Green Conway Latham Sophomore Gloss To the sophomore class the past school year has been most successful not only be- cause of steady persistent work in the high school students major endeavor-mastery of subject matter-but also through the interested participation in extra-curricular activities by its members. Much of the success of the class is due to the whole-hearted cooperation of the fac- ulty advisor, Mrs. Jo Ann Smith and the class officers who were: David Lowry, presi-- dent: Conway Latham, vice-president, Wayne Lowry, treasurerg and Nell Green, secretary. During the past year a large number of members from the class were honored by election to the Torch Honor society, scholastic honorary. These students were: Doro- thy Gore, Francis Ferry, Elizabeth Ferry, Betty Stennett. Velma Smith, Erma Nie- dermeyer and Marjorie Gregory. The sophomores have been represented the past year in the band, orchestra, glee clubs, G. A. A., Dramatic club and other organizations of Medford high. Much interest has been shown by the class members in debate, oral expression, in- terpretative reading, and public speaking. Maxine Bohnert, talented memberof the class was awarded second place in the interpretative reading school finals. In the Mirror , the production entered by Medford high school in the University of Oregon state drama tournament, at Eugene, in a cast of three characters Maxine Bohnert and Frank Graham were selected from a large number of students who tried-out. Vivienne Meader was nominated by the class as their candidate in the annual junior Carnival queen contest. In the parade preceding the carnival a float on which Princess Vivienne rode was entered by the class, and at the carnival an amusing farce, The Womanless Wedding , was presented. March 4, the day of the Prosperity festivities in Medford the class entered a float in the parade which featured their Prosperity queen Maxine Bannister. Athletics have figured prominently in this years annals of the sophomore class with a large number of members participating in both major and minor sports. Foot- ball, basketball, track, tennis, and kitten ball have all brought their interested sup- porters from the ranks of the class. Withxmuch interest, the progress of the sophomores will be noted during their re- maining years in high school because with the continued enterprise of its members much should be accomplished both in scholastic and student activities. 45 rue CIZATEIZ, - v -193 I - - - SMPHOMURE CLASS THE CRATER, ' l93l ' - - Z 1 t , . Tommy White Philip Quizenberry Noel Benson Louise Elrod Qfreshmtcm Glass A lethargic air which generally lulls a freshman class through its opening year was only partly dispelled by those in control of the wearers of the green during the past year, and they succeeded only partially in fulfilling the rosy promise given by the varied talent manifest in the class. A steady, though somewhat mechanical partici- pation in alloted activities gave indication of a somnolent spirit which if properly fos- tered should one day write the works of the class of '35, in large letters in the annuals of Medford high school. After the awesomeness of their new surroundings had worn off and the natural belligerence of upperclassmen and somewhat abated the frosh fitted harmoniously enough into their surroundings and began a routine devoted largely to scholastic en-- deavor. A drifting existence with only an occasional chance to demonstrate initiative or originality was rudely broken at midlyear with the initiation. For a week the first year students underwent stringent regulations and were doubly impressed by paddles, managed by. Tiger guards and lettermen. Initiation week with its air of jovial breeziness tinged with a hint of fearsomeness was climaxed by an assembly which was one of the colorful spots of the freshman year. Following the trials of initiation, the freshmen became full-fledged members of the student body Committees appointed by class officers represented the class at any function and in every case gained recognition for their efforts. In the Junior Carnival queen race, Theda Moore, class representative, received enthusiastic class support and while failing to win, proved a popular attendant. In quest of the honor of Prosperity Queen of the city, Jeanne Quisenberry, fresh- man candidate. was one of the leading figures due to her capture of upperclass sup- port and her presence in a beautifully decorated class car made one of the outstand- ing floats in the Prosperity parade. With the past year drawing to a close the present freshmen leave their lowly positions with a promptness which will be not unmixed with reluctance as in future years they look back over their class life. , Tommy White, president. served capably in his office and was assisted by Philip Quisenberry, vice-president: Noel Benson, secretary, and Louise Elrod, treasurer. 47 1-HE cQA1gg - ' v los I ' - ' THE CIZATEIZ.

Richard Applegate, each official handled depart- mental activity for which he had special training or aptitude and the officers also acted as a unit in passing legislation and being the governing body of the high school. The governing board was strictly democratic and affected all dealings in a man- ner which reflected honor to the school and gained the confidence and backing of the students. Acting under a newly revised constitution the student officials worked with a determination and fervor which eloquently denied any charges of lethargy generall-' leveled at such a unit. The vast complex system of classes, organizations, and student activities with their accompanying tasks of financing and directing was largely hand- led by student officials separately. Close check was made of each organization and efficiency and coordination was the watchword of those in office. Such tasks as the representation of the school, large handling of difficult financial responsibilities, the publishing of an excellent paper and yearbook, advertising. pep, and banking all were handled by those interested with offices by the students and in every case incumbents filled their positions capably. 55 THE CRATER, - ' 'l93l - - ' Applegate Thomas Clay Colvig Porter Warner Biden Student Qoifemment The organized legislative work of the associated students was capably handled during the past year by an executive committee composed of three branches of student officials, thus securing complete and ample representation and adding efficiency in student control. The authorization of an executive council to round out the controlling board received student support and was added to the governing board. When Medford's constitution was formed four years ago and later revised, it made provisions for a student council of twenty-five members composed of elective of-' ficials and heads of the various organizations. This unit did, and still does handle the bulk of legislation coming under students' jurisdiction and through the medium of regular meetings succeeded in launching several progressive programs. Heretofore, this law body had been required to guide all cases coming up and handle the vast amount of detailed work in conjunction with various activities. How- ever, during 1929 a student court to handle all cases arising out of the constitution or by-laws was formed, and the formulation of the executive council during the past year gave the associated students a well-balanced and efficient directorate. The primary purpose of the three units acting separately but along the same lines was that of harmonious cooperation between classes and organizations and the hand- ling of concrete facts. Former laxity was partially banished by the efforts of individ- ual officers andproficiency in every department was more closely realized than formerly. An entirely new arrangement for school awards was drawn up and put into effect to replace the one obsolete feature of the by-laws. Cooperation of the student council with city and service club leaders in choosing a prosperity queen for the burying of depression was highly lauded by civic leaders. The council authorized the expenditure of any funds required and thus cooperated with the financial department in securing adequate economy while losing nothing in efficiency. The executive council, composed of the student body president and the presidents of the Associated Boys' and Girls' leagues, while a very vital part of the controlling board, was infrequently used. However, it demonstrated capabilities in filling its task of passing on snap legislation when the gathering of the larger unit would be im- practical. 56 THE clmtnn, f ' Q los I v ' - Anplegate Harrington Lalthanl Walker Reddy Thomas Edwards Imrry White Culvig Clay Spaulding Porter Woodford Simkins Green Whitman Warner Biden Edmistun Darnielle Lat ham Burl Geliznler Iburn TH E CRATEIZ, ' l93l ' - Charles Clay George Harrington Donald Darnielle Wayne Lowry 9 woys Sgeogue r Visions of having the male students of the school organized into a compact body that acts collectively instead of individually were realized this year when the Asso- ciated Boys came into existence. This organization, of which every boy registered in Medford high school is a member, has proved to be a mecca for all boys' activities. A plan, whereby every man may participate in some form of athletics, is only one of the major accomplishments made possible by the association. Much credit is due B. R. Finch, advisor who cooperated with Charles Clay, presi- dent, and made the initial year one of success. Mr. Finch is the founder of the or- ganization. The past year proved to be both one of pioneering and achievement. Freshman boys' week was sponsored for the first time by the league and proved to be a great benefit to school and students alike. The Associated Boys' and Girls' league sponsored a dance which was one of the outstanding informal social events of the year. Charity work was also carried on at Christmas time. In order to carry out all activities efficiently, the commissions and the Tiger guard act as standing committees. The Tiger guard escorts and protects mascots while the commissions take charge of their respective work in line with activities. The officers were Charles Clay, president, George Harrington, vice-president: Don Darnielle, secretaryg Wayne Lowry, treasurer. The most distinguishing feature of the activity program sponsored by the Associated Boys was that of intramural athletics. Acting on the pre- sumption that the best way of creating an inter- est among boys and establishing a common level was through the mutual liking for sports. The coaching staff planned, and put into execution a well arranged program which aroused and held interest throughout the year. B. R. Finch advisor directed tumbling and boxing which was a great success while Edwin Kirtley was in charge of the large intramural basketball and kittenball sched- ules. Head Coach Darwin K. Burgher handled the interclass track meet and laid the foundation for furtherance of athletics. B. R. Finch 58 Tl-I E CDATER.

This organization while similar to many used in various colleges had several distinctive features which made it colorful as well as a well-organized working unit which infused unity of pur- pose and thought in the student body. Freshman initiation which had fallen into disuse due to abuse in former years and many other glamorous spots in the extra-curricular program were revived under the watchful guidance of this body. Arthur Iverson, Rajah, assisted by ten chosen mem- bers were in active charge of school traditions and presided at rallies, games, and re- ceptions where their uniformed appearance added much to such occasions. The Tiger Guards acted as an honorary attendant corps to the mascot at all pa- rades and other high school demonstrations. The formation of this unit greatly facilitated the carrying out of the traditional program which was revived and flourished under its guidance and gave promise of great things in future years, 59 TH E CIZATER, 'l93l ' I 1 Winifred Warner Lucille Lowry Leneve Simkins Doris Bundy Helen Wilson QMS, Jgeuzgizze For the purpose of uniting all of the girls in Medford high school together under one common bond, namely, that of bettering the girls themselves, the high school and the community, the Girls' league was formed in 1925. Since that time the league has done much toward attaining that end. This year the league has chosen for its special aim that of putting all of the girls in school on committees. The social service work of the organization has surpassed anything attempted in previous years. Baskets were delivered to the poor at Thanksgiving, a party was given for the poor children of the grade schools at Christmas, magazines and books were dis- tributed to shut-ins and several girls received aid for clothing. ' On the first day of school, in September the Girls' league handbook was published and a copy given to each student when he registered. The book contained all of the in- formation about school, and proved very valuable. Another new feature this year was the activity questionaire given to all the girls, which allowed them to state in what activity they were interested. Two new committees were added to the league this year. The home economics com- mittee is a member of the state organization and aids girls interested in that type of work. The advertising committee has charge of publicity, and has done much to pro- mote activities. Several parties were given and proved to be ' an important factor in getting the girls acquaint- ed with one another. Class teas were also spon- sored for the faculty mothers, and incoming freshmen. This year's Girls' league week was celebrated April 6 to 10, and all of its undertakings were very successful. At the state Girls' league meeting Winifred Warner, president of the organization was nom- inated for state president. Other officers of the league are Lucille Lowry, vice-presidentg Leneve Simkins, secretary: Doris Bundy, treasurer, and Maurine Carroll, dean of girls.

It is composed of the dean of girls, officers of th: league, class representatives, and chairmen of standing committees. Meetings are held every two weeks and take the form of a luncheon. after which business is discussed. Each semester two girls are elected from the four classes to act as class representatives. Their duties are to help select committees, prepare stunts for social activities, aid in sponsoring their class tea, and to collect dues. This year the standing committees have all been more active than ever before. Several new committees were also added. Helen Erlmiston, Song Queen THE CRATER, v v -los I - - ' THE CIZATEIZ.

Membership in this club is recognized on a point basis-four points are given for a grade of A, two points for a B, and one point for a C in the first division. Also two points for a major activity and one point for a minor activity 'are given. Sophomores must have twenty-four points before they can Wear the one-bar pin, juniors, fifty points for the two-bar pin. and seniors, eighty points for the Torch pin. The highest honor is conferred upon a student when at the time of graduation if he has a total of 110 points, he becomes a life member of the club and the Torch pin becomes his permanent possession.

The Latin club, having been established four years ago under the auspices Fran- ces Theis has undergone a successful reorganization this year under the advisorship of Fern Hartsook, head of the Latin department. The purpose of the club called the S. P. Q. R. or Roman Republic is to gain more knowledge of Roman life, customs, mythology, and language, to better understand the cultural value of Latin, and to interest fellow-students therein. This year a constitution was adopted which introduced several new standards. Silver pins with the name of the club engraved on them were available to mem- bers. A point system whereby one could win a gold pin of the same design was also worked out by the praetor and points were gained by scholarship, work on committees, and holding office. Some of the activities of the club this year have been: an assembly including a play, an initiation, a dance, and a picnic in the spring. Floats have been entered in the various parades during the past year and the Delliihic Oracle where fortunes were told was one of the attractions at the junior carnival.

G. QW. Gini? The History, Economics, and Civic association of Medford high school was origi- nally organized in this school in 1924 by Victor Sether, for four years instructor in civics and economics in Medford and now professor of business administration sul:- jects at the University of San Francisco. Under his sponsorship the club was composed of those students attaining an average of ninety per cent or above in history, econom- ics and Civics. . The primary purpose of the organization is to educate its members in the affairs of present-day life-problems of various types. Speakers who are interested in this line of work and who are well informed on these subjects are often brought before the club members. Many historical features of interest are also presented to the club. The H. E. C. A. under the advisorship and guidance of Josephine Smith has had a very successful and active year. Among the things of interest which the H. E. C. A. has sponsored this year is Open House Night. Every organization had an ex- hibition and following a program in the gym presented by members of this organiza- tion, about 350 people enjoyed these displays. This club also presented an interesting assembly in honor of Abraham Lincoln. It was at this time that the pictures of the 12 greatest historical men were presented to the Student Body. The H. E. C. A. has a constitution which calls for a commission form of govern- ment. Don Darneille has proved a capable president of the club. Other commissioners are Anna Mae Fuson, Helen Power, Helen Wilson, and Bob Nelson. xxx 65 n-ns.

The following girls acted as officers: jean Whitman, president, Beryl Brockway, treasurer, and Goldie Higdon, secretary. In addition, this year two officers were elected: yell leader, Margaret Warner, to supervise cheering, and sports manager Mary Beard. to attend to the announcing of games, etc. Under these capable officials, a new constitution was drawn up with new provisions for membership, change in the amount of dues, and, the two additional officials. The G. A. A. was more or less prominent in a social way, for they sponsored the football dance, numerous parties, and had the usual concessions at the junior carnival. With the exception of swat ball instead of speed ball, taking part in the usual sports gives points toward the points system awards. These sports are: basketball, vol- ley ball, baseball, track. folk dancing, self testing activities, and perhaps hiking. Fifty points means a green numeral emblem, hundred points and with the P. E.

This club was organized under the supervision of Leland Knox, who has taught bookkeeping in Medford for the past nine years and who has always been vitally interested in school activities. The purpose of this organization is to bring a closer feeling of cooperation and friendship between commercial students. Membership is limited to those students who are taking commercial subjects. This year Miss Lora Mitchell acted as faculty advisor and helped make it a very active year. Among other activities was a very interesting assembly. A party was also held for members of the club. A peculiar form of self government was introduced by the constitution which was drafted by the club this year. It provides for an executive council of 10 members. The council this year was: president, William Dorng vice-president, jean Prockg secre- tary. jean VVoodfordg treasurer, Charles Williamson: committee of finance and ac- tivities, Elizabeth Purcell, Blanche Kirkpatrick, Mildred Reynoldsg committee of membership and publicity, Doreen Leverette, Cecil Reynolds, and Mildred Walker. This club is now one of the major organizations in school. 67 THE CIZATER. Arthur Iverson Anna Mae Fuson Conway Latham Goldie Higdon ardent CEhrifr That the record of 100 percent for banking has been kept in Medford high school for four years is due to a large extent to the hard work of the cashiers. Medford ranks first in the state and second in the entire Pacific Northwest. The banking system was inaugurated by Horace Terrill and has for the past three years been under the competent leadership of Leland Knox. It is estimated that over 310,000 passed through the hands of the cashiers this year. One day there was 23400 deposited and it always runs well over 519100.

A. club formerly known as the Agriculture club is a branch of the state organization, which was organized under the Smith-Hughes act. The new name, the Future Farmers of America was adopted by the national or- ganization, in Kansas City and was used for the first time in 1930. Each year a Smith-Hughes week-end conference is held at Corvallis. The last one was held on April 30, of this year. Contests are held annually in the following branches of agriculture: blacksmith- ing, grafting, scutting rafters, soldering, egg grading, milk testing, and beef cattle judging. The society sponsors a national speaking contest once a year. Each state is divided into four sections, and the winners of the district finals meet at Corvallis to decide the State championship. Winners of the eleven western states meet in Boise, Idaho to decide the Western championship. The finals are held at Kansas City in November. The speeches may consist of any phase of agriculture such as: 'fElectricity and its re- lation to the Farm, Modern Farming, and Scientific Farming? The local club has a membership of some 36 members. Meetings are held the fifth period of the second Wednesday of each month. Each member gives a short talk on some phase of agriculture. Officers of the club were: Loren Scheel, president, William Woodford, vice-presi- dentg Lloyd Nicholson, secretaryg Durward Gass, treasurer, and C. D. Thompson. advisor. 69 TH E CQAI' 'l93l ' 1 - I- - - Q Wire Squad 'l'his year Medford high school has been protected from fire by a very efficient fire squad. The squad, consisting of twenty-five boys on regular duty and twenty-five alternates, is under the supervision of George Brown, who has been a volunteer mem- ber of the Medford fire department for four years. Brown is advised by Fire Chief Roy Elliott. The members of the fire squad are each assigned to some post and given some special duty to perform which range from aiding in the speedy clearing of the build- ing to manning the hose. Brown, besides supervising the fire squad, must check the chemicals every semes- ter and the hose monthly. There have been fire drills several times in the past year and all that the students were asked to do was to leave the building in a quiet, orderly manner. The average time for clearing the building was 1M minutes which is a fair average for such a large building. Members of the squad were: Chief, George Brown, Max Rae, Charles Champ-1 lin, Emil Mohr, Dow Stone, George Harrington, Phillip Stone, Lucius Rogers, Fran- cis Dallaire, Albert Randles, Wayne May, Joe Patton, Wildon Colbaugh, Donald Brown, ljurward Gass, Lloyd Nicholson, Perl Bateman, Ed Bennett, Roger Headlee Lester Gilman, Arthur Schatz, Gerald Latham, Gilbert Roberson, 'Fred Schmidt, Vic- tor Noel, Orville Wilson.

One of the outstanding performances of the year was the presentation of the Christmas program at the regular Yuletide assembly. At this time the play, 'Suppress- ed Desires, by Susan Glaspell caused much favorable comment in dramatic circles. Flora McMath, Bob Emmens, and Anna Mae Fuson composed the cast. The play was directed by Mrs. Early. The Dramatic club sponsored the Make-Up Box Review at the junior Carnival, which was a success financially, as well as theatrically. The Eskimo Pie booth was also under the auspices of the Dramatic club. A very successful Dramatic club picnic was held at Jackson Hot Springs, April 29. Swimming and dancing were enjoyed during the evening. Plans have been made for eligible members to join the national Order of Thes- pians early next fall. Much credit for the success of the club is due Harold GeBauer, presidentg Anna Mae Fuson, secretaryg George Bennett, stage managerg and junior Porter, property manager. 71 THE CIZATEIZ, Le--. I 66 tghe gomrsglwsher 9, One of the chief facts of interest concerning the Senior play, The Four-Flusher, by Caesar Dunn, was that it was the first play under the direction of Mary Gilbert. It was a night when the attention of the play centered on the production staff rather than on the actors, for the greater part of the cast was made up of players well known in the Medford high school dramatic circles. The audience was moderately large and showed its appreciation with frequent laughter. The Four-Flusher can easily be said to have proved one of the best enter- tainments offered this year. The plot gave ample scope for both comedy and romance. It concerned a young man who tried to make an impression by living beyond his means, crashing society, when he learned he was to inherit his uncle's handsome legacy. Disinherited by his uncle andxhis credit discontinued, he faces the ordeal of again returning to his job as a shoe clerk. As usual every thing works out to his advantage and he lives happily ever after. While the play was not difficult, on the whole it was well acted. The two outstanding performances of the evening were given by Charles Clay and Irvin Bowman. The former gave the best performance of his high school career. The manner in which he played his role was delightful. The latter added zest to the pres-- entation by his comedy. Other actors who played their roles in a com- mendable way were: Lucille Lowry, Harriett Campbell, Dick Applegate, Bud Thomas, Doro-' thy Roberts, Doris Bundy, Philip Bray, junior Porter. Bert Lowry, William Dorn, and Melva Parrett. Miss Gilbert was assisted in her directing by Marie Ridings. i l Mary Gilbert 72 THECIZATEIZ, 23':: .. . ff 951242 Qoose Wangs Wighys The Goose Hangs High. a vivacious three-act drama of modern family life, was presented to an enthusiastic audience under the auspices of the associated student body at the Holly theatre December 2. The play concerns a modern family struggling with adverse economic conditions. Bernard Ingalls, the father, attempting to send his twins through college, faces a shattering blow when he is forced to resign his office at the City hall on account of a trivial political squabble. Upon learning of their fathers difficulties, the twins after much planning and plotting finally induce their grandmother, Mrs. Bradley to back their father in the green house business. While the plot of the play was trite the rendition of numerous lines saved the play from banality. Harold Ge Bauer gave the outstanding performance of the evening as Bernard Ingalls. While the part was a bit too old for him, under these circumstances his act- ing was superb. Eunice Ingalls, a sweet naive mother was quite well done by Leneve Simkins. During the second act the play 'got somewhat away from the twins. Lois, Adra Edwards, and Bradley, Charles Clay, but they picked up the thread of the story in the third act and put it over in a gay and complete manner. The play as a whole was well directed and staged by Doris Baier, assisted by Maurine johnson. U Miss Baier 73 THE CRATER, ' - 'l93l - - - GeBauer Bohnert Graham Miss Johnson fghe fflflirror By far the most sophisticated drama yet attempted by students of dramatic art of Medford high school, was the production, The Mirror, presented at the state drama tournament at the University of Oregon, April 4. The play was awarded second place and Maxine Bohnert was presented the Dean Collins, cup, which is given for the best acting done by any girl in the tournament. The play revolved around the theory of reincarnation brought to life by an an- cient niirror. Upon gazing into the mirror, the devotee sees the outstanding events of his former lives pass in startling procession. An extremely artistic oriental background formed the setting for the play. The soft lighting effects and burning of incense added a final touch of far eastern splen- dor to the set. The Mirror was made doubly difficult by the slow action, and it was only through the ability of the actors and production staff that the play was saved from monotony. Harold GeBauer, as Havanth, foreign newspaper correspondent, retained his former reputation as an amateur actor. However, the type of role he played in The Goose Hangs High was much more suited to him than the role he portrayed in The Mirrorf' The part of Havanth, a very difficult role, was such that few high school students are capable of attempting. The acting was well done. Maxine Bohnert's interpretation of Saida, a versatile part which calls for not only interpretation of lines but also dancing and singing, was well acted, but in several places she was unable to hold the same tempo. Frank Graham, as Mosaku, deserves much praise for the successful way in which he handled his role. He played his part with ease and realism. The play showed much work and effort on the part of Maurine Johnston, director, assisted by Doris Baier. Other students worthy of mention who composed the second cast, better known as understudies, were Bob Nelson, Dorothy Paley, and Dick Linnell. 74 Tneclmtren, ---l93l3-- I- I Max Carter Helen Wilson Donald Darnielle George Bennett Qbefmte The winning of the debate championship of Oregon by virtue of a 2-1 verdict over Prineville in the final debate held at the University of Oregon was the crowning achievement of the Medford debate team under Ralph Bailey, who since taking over the directorate in public speaking, has coached Medford to a leading position in state forencis circles. The members of this yearls debate team were Helen Wilson and George Bennett. on the affirmative, and Donald Darnielle and Max Carter on the negative. This team was picked from the debate squad of eight people, chosen from the interclass debators. The remaining four composed the second team. The question under debate was Resolved, that chain stores are detrimental to the American people. This question because of its immediate interest to the public and its lack of technicalities, attracted a more wide-spread interest than those discussed in former years. Prior to the contest for Southern Oregon supremacy, a series of practice debates were held before various granges throughout the valley. Some special appearances were also made before some of the business men's organizations of the city. A radical change was made in the system of judging debates this season. Pre- viously, it has been the custom to have three judges, each contributing one vote to the decision. However, this year the decisions were rendered by one judge, Professor Al- vin E. O'Konski of Oregon State college. Professor O'Konski decided the debates on the basis of the following points: Adaption. rebuttal, delivery, persuasion, organization, l quality of material, and proof. These seven points were considered separately and of equal importance. The first debate was held with the Ashland negative at Ashland, Medford winning by two points. In the next debate, held in Med- ford, the local negative lost to the Ashland af- firmative by one count. In the debates with Grants Pass, the Med- ford affirmative defeated the Grants Pass negative and the local negative tied the Grants Pass affirmative. As Grants Pass and Ash- land had each previously won and lost two l debates, this left Medford and Grants Pass Ralph Bailey 75 TH E CIZATEI1, 'l93l -1 l 1 1 I 1 ' ' ll V U I D Barbara Drury Robert Nelson Maxine Hagen Doris Bundy tied for the championship. However, Professor O'Konski awarded Medford first, Grants Pass second and Ashland third, using as a foundation for this reasoning the fact that Medford had four debators of uniform strength, Grants Pass three, and Ashland two. In a series of interdistrict contests for the State championship, Medford defeated Malin 2-1 in Medford. V. V. Caldwell, L. E. Messinger, and A. C. Strange served as judges. The next contest was with Marshfield was also a Z-1 victory for Medford. Professor Waldo Schumacher, Associate Professor Rae, and Walter Durgon all of the University of Oregon faculty served as judges. Medford's next opponent was Astoria and the Medford team of Donald Darneille and Helen Wilson won a 3-0 decision in ' ' ' 'll ' . 'n eastern Oregon, the debate held at Astoria and the right to meet Prinevl e winners 1 for the state championship held at the University of Oregon. In the interdistrict de- bates the chain store question was also used. This year's second team, which consisted of Barbara Drury and Maxine Hagen, affirmativeg and Doris Bundy and Robert Nelson, negativeg also had an extensive schedule planned. However, as the first teams of Ashland and Grants Pass refused t debate the second team was limited to an appearance in the Talent grange, and an 0 y exhibition debate before the Central Point high school. Miss Doris Baier aided in the coaching of this team. -K Y ..,.. --........ Interclass Debaters 76 THE Cl?,A'l'E.lZ. v - - los I f ' - Robert Shaw George Bennett Maxine Hagen Cghree Gomes! Winners EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING Speaking with brilliance, forcefulness and composure, Robert Shaw of Medford high school won the State Extemperaneous speaking contest before a packed house at the Corvallis Municipal auditorium. Eloquently presenting his selected subject, The Oregon Missionaries, Shaw. who was virtually unknown in state forensic circles won a stunning victory when the judges unanimously awarded him first position. The judges verdict was liberally applauded by the throng and Shaw was presented the Alumni Cup awarded annually and a gold watch. Under the tutorship of Mrs. jo Anne Smith, Shaw showed early promise by winning district honors and in the preliminary contest held at Oregon State College he was one of the eight selected to enter the state final. His ultimate victory in that division beside winning additional laurels for the school spoke ably of the efforts of the speaker and instructor. C0NsT1TUT10NAr, ORATORICAL CONTEST In the annual nationwide Constitutional Oratorical contest, George Lawrence Bennett, Medford's winner gained the state finals by virtue of a series of impressive district winnings and won third place in the state contest. Before an assembly of 3,000 people, composed of state officials, members of the legal profession, college professors and private citizens, Bennett, the successor to William Daugherty, who last year won the contests, delivered his oration with a poise and eloquence which gained third place from a field of Oregon's best orators. Ralph Bailey, debate coach, instructed Bennett. who was awarded 25 dollars in cash for his victory. INTERPERATIVE READING Interperative reading, the art of expression through voice and pantomime, was well represented in Medford high school during the past year by Maxine Hagen, who climaxed the two years of dramatic work by winning the school championship in this division and entrance in the district final. Miss Hagen won two firts, and a third place in the sectional finals and lost by 10 ponts to the Ashland representative who gained a first and two second places. 77 THE CIZATEIQ, - - 'l93l v - ' THE CIZATEI2, 'l93l ' 1 Qufvlicatioms The winning of the President Arnold Bennett Hall cup for the best all-around newspaper in the state at the University of Oregon press convention served as a fit- ting climax for the most successful year ever experienced by the combined publications The installation of Arthur L. Schoeni, journalism teacher as head of the publica- tions department proved to be a great forward step because under Mr. Schoeni's guid- ance the work was closely supervised and capably cared for. This department is of the largest and most important extra curricular activity sponsored by the Associated stu- dents was systematized and balanced so as to gain valuable work for the maximum number of students seeking to enter the high school journalism field. Delegates from both branch publications attended the state conference held at the University of Oregon and gained much important knowledge which was incorporated into the local system. The handling of all high school publicity also came Within the diction of this department and outstanding members of the class contributed news of special and daily occurrence of the high school to the local papers. Advertising cam- paigns were also sponsored through this me- dium and succeeded in awakening unprece- dented interest in high school happenings. The work done by the dual publications was ex- tremely gratifying and justified their mark- ed expansion during the past year. Perhaps the greatest change effected in the publications was the decision of the yearbook heads to abandon advertising as a medium of supporting the Crater and to substitutethe modernized system of donations. This system proved overwhelmingly popular and its backing by the merchants justified the planning and detailed work done by the ad- vertisement staff. f ' Arthur schoem 79 THE CDATER. The fffmter Each year it becomes increas- ingly difficult to produce a Crater of merit. A year book is bound to be interesting, for the reason that it contains some- thing of personal concern to every student, but more can be made of it than a mere illus- k trated chronical. ' y The task of publishing a year 'mn Redd, 'Ir' book is more tremendous than it seems. Every editor knows no limits to his ambitions, and invariably he is keenly disappointed with his results. Having been confronted with the problem of finding those individuals who could do the practical things he desires in the allotted time, he becomes haunted with the apparition of failure when he looks at the finished book and realizes that he could have done better. Pressure of time has caused him to do things he later regrets. - The aim of the 1931 Crater is to present the most characteristic features of Med- ford high school life. Early in the year the newly formed staff undertook the compilation and arrange- ment of a vast amount of material blended together through a suitable motif arranged in a novel way and the complete circulation and financing of the annual. After being thoroughly departmentized, the staff undertook the difficult technical work such as gathering and checking of photos and planning the execution of art work.

T Wr fgames Conforming in every respect to the highest in journalistic standards the M e d f o r d Hi Times official publication of the student body chronicled the varied events throughout the year with a thoroughness and style which won for it a large niche in the calendar of school 't activities. The complete depart- Frederick Colvig mentization of the staff con-- tributed greatly to the increased efficiency of the paper during the past year and aid- ed materially in insuring regular and interesting issuances of the paper. Editor-in-chief Fred Colvig ably handled the directorate of the paper supervising makeup, passing on all copy, and dictating the editorial policy. junior Porter, mane- ager, was responsible for the financial end of the Hi Times and the increased scope in advertising, and larger circulation attests to the completeness with which the busi- ness was handled. The newswriting class under Arthur L. Schoeni was responsible for covering all routine work divided into beats while well trained staff members with previous ex- perience cover the major assignments. The Hi Times was issued every two weeks and the wide distribution was covered by a large circulation staff which also handled the exchanging of papers with 50 other high schools scattered throughout the country. The only variance from regular issues was published by the Girls' league with an all-girl staff and proved practical as well as novel. The Hi Times succeeded in scoring scoops in two instances when they ran surprise stories on the junior Carnival Queen election and the Student Body elections. After taking over the editorship, Colvig brought about many innovations which raised the paper to maximum efficiency. Thomas Reddy Colvig Campbell Applegate 82 THE CIZATEIZ, A Hi Times office was in-A i stalled at the Daily News to handle the proof and copy read- ing as well as makeup and ad layouts while the school office of the paper was utilized by the editorial board for writing copy and preparing different depart- ments. All fields with available news were scoured by depart- ment heads and special corres- pondents covered all out of . J ' P 1 town athletic events. umm if er Manager Porter handled a large corps of advertising assistants, and introduced a system of tickets whereby students were able to obtain the paper at reduced costs. The capable handling of all branches and the diligence of subordinates all contributed much toward making the Hi Times a replica of any up to the minute metropolitan paper with a large circulation among the townspeople as well as Medford and other state high schools. The financial balance of the Hi Times proved a major difficulty although it was capably carried on by a large business staff. A system of beats to cover all prospective advertisers lends thoroughness to selling advertising and hence the business end was conducted with greater ease than formerly. Merchants were solicited periodically and their helpfulness and cooperation was largely responsible for the increase in circula-A tion and quality of the publication. The Hi Times during the past year featured several new types of writeups which were favorably received and improvement and standardization or journalistic work wrought a great change in the quality of the writings which appeared. A great advancement in the method of instruction of news writing also tended to raise the standard of the paper. One of the features of each issue was the completeness and accuracy with which the athletic work was covered regardless of whether the event was staged locally or out of town. An amusing feature was the activity of a ghost writer operating under the nom de plume of Horace P. Slugg, whose letters gained a great deal of notoriety and aroused imprecedent interest among faculty and students. This and like features enlivened the paper' and drew much comment.

Harriet Camp- bell, senior, was second, Theda Moore, freshman, and Vivienne Meader, sophomore were third and fourth respectively. Captivating, intriguing folly reigned supreme over the day's festivities. Beginning with the huge parade in the afternoon and concluding with the carnival and dance in the evening Friday, February 6, will go down in the history of Medford high a red letter day. The award for first place in the parade was given the junior class for their queen float which was decorated with bright flowers, truly a fit car for a queen. The Dra- matic club with their car load of dancing girls from their Revue were awarded sec- ond prize. The evening festivities opened with the crowning of Queen Billie I. Adra Ed- wards, president of the junior class, introduced Queen Billie to her admiring court f she was then crowned by Wildon Colbaugh. Every sort of entertainment known was of- fered to the visitors to the high school that evening. Gambling dens, speakeasies, Beano, a circus, a Salon de Beaute, an ex- clusive musical revue were all featured. The G. A.

Sponsored by the Greater Medford club during the first of the term, it played in Handel's Messiah, which was presented at the Holly theatre during Christmas vacation. In March, the entire group made a trip to Ashland to appear before an assembly of the Southern Oregon Normal school, where they were also luncheon guests. The orchestra entertained at the Senior play and Baccalaureate with several num- bers. Also, it had quite a prominent part in the Music festival held at Ashland, April 30 and May 1, at which all Southern Oregon high schools were represented. On this occasion were played 'tAndante , from Haydn's Surprise Symphony, The Caliph of Bagdadf' by A. Boielolieu and the Triumphal March, by Grieg. Also, they ac- companied the mixed chorus in the 'tTannhauser March, by Wagner.

Thirty members were selected by try- outs at the first of the term. The Glee club made its first appearance this term before the assembly with several selected numbers. A musical program representing the fifteenth century was put on before Christmas, the club taking a prominent part. They were awarded first prize for the most original float in the junior Carnival parade. Another prize was awarded them for their minstrel show at the carnival. The boys have sung many times for the school assemblies during the year. An octette has been organized in the club and they have also sung at school as- semblies. The octette has accompanied the second debate team on its visits to the vari- ous granges and provided the musical part of the program. The success of the Boys' Glee club is largely due the work of Miss Baldwin, the advisor, Victor Noel, president, Harold GeBauer, vice-president, and Marion Moore pianist. 88 TH E CIIATER, ' l93l ' i 1 1 1 l ,-W7 l Commercial Contestants For the third consecutive time, the Medford high school won second place in the annual State typing tournament at Corvallis. This record gives Medford permanent possession of the cup which has been awarded to the schools gaining this honor. Med- ford also scored in the individual competition, with Margaret Childers winning third place in the novice divisions. In district competition, Medford did not uphold the 1930 record in shorthand and typing, however, they made a commendable showing at the finals in Ashland, April 12. Medford gained second place in the typing division with an average of 62.95. Klamath Falls being first with 63.17, a difference of only a fraction of a point. In the amateur division Helen Power placed second and in the novice division Margaret Childers was second and Louise Osenbrugge fourth. Silver medals were also awarded Helen Power and Margaret Childers in their respective divisions. The typing squad was coached by Mrs. Elizabeth Jerome. The shorthand contestants were a close third in the finals with an average of 97.59. Klamath Falls and Grants Pass were first and second, respectively, with averages of 98.48 and 97.96. In the individual scoring Mildred Walk- er of Medford won first place in the novice ' division with an average of 99.67, making but one error.

I .al .Y ' uf' Ti Qiootlmzll Four consecutive wins and a tie climaxed by a smashing defeat of Ashland, tra- ditional rivals, brought to a close the most colorful and thrilling season ever experi- enced by the Medford Bengals. Clad in sinister black splotched with crimson, D. K. Burgher's eleven developed in late season into a unit which for speed and deception rivaled those great Medford teams of the Callison regime which gained national fame with their marvelous record of six years undefeated and 44 straight victories-dob ted with mythical state titles. This great record was snapped last year with the de- parture of Callison for the University of Oregon and after a doleful year school au- thorities decided that Darwin K. Burgher, former Idaho frosh mentor, was the one to rehabilitate Medford's failing prestige. Burgher with his infectious grin and con- stant earnestness did just that, and under he and his co-mentors: B. R. Finch and E. M. Kirtley, the Tigers experienced an athletic renaissance which kept the turnstiles of Van Scoyoc field clicking as two and three thousand fans poured into witness Medford's weekly gridiron contests. The Bengals started uncertainly, losing to Marshfield, Eureka, and Grants Pass but from then on they were invincible, sweeping to a tie for sectional honors. Burgher, Finch, and Kirtley also conducted a constructive in- tramural sports program to develop the aver-- age youth and lay the structure for future teams. While not as productive of victories as for- mer seasons the past campaigns gave fans some great athletic spectacles as well as add-- ing sheen to the Medford star in the state ath- letic firmament. A tie for top honors in the Southern Oregon Gridiron league, a runner-up position for basketball and track competition and a cham- pionship in tennis rewarded the efforts of Medford contingent in 1930-31.

The game was doggedly contested in the opening periods with the Tigers holding an edge when Zumbrunn and Harrington led a bruising line-plunging attack which however, lacked sustained driving power to score. As the half ended, Milosevitch, coast fullback, tossed a long pass for a score and converted for a 7-0 lead. Seeing their ad- vantage through the ozone, the refreshed Golden Tornado players launched a pass bombardment which left the staggered Bengals gasping on the short end of a 28-O count as the result of four touchdowns through the air and a safety. The Medfordites survived the demoralizing aerial attack and gave a sterling exhibition of the field where Harrington dove over to beat the gun. fighting, offensive play to march the length of ' 4 i I I Until Marshfield found the fabled vulnerable spot in the heel of an otherwise great Achilles in the form of forward pass weakness the game was an even battle, but the Tiger's secondary crumb- led and enabled the rifle tosses of the coast full- back to riddle their defense.

T l Before a gkeptical Crowd of Medford Reserves Stop Bend 1000 fans, saturated with doleful press reports, the game Tigers provided a scrap which bewildered the Northern California champions and almost resulted in a win. Early in the game Medford showed a brief offensive spurt when Ivy Harrington broke away for several gains and tossed a pass to Clay for the Bengals only threatg but thereafter the multi-colored Erekans hammered their lighter foes into their own territory where most of the game was fought out. Both teams depended on strong de- fenses and stuck to line thrusts for gains. The only score came when Gould of the vis- itors hammered across tackle to score, after a 50-yard drive. There was something vin- dictive in the way that Harrington, Medford quarter, directed power plays into the center of Eureka's vastly heavier foreward line. Eureka switched tactics late in the game when Dwight, lanky end, carraled a pass behind the Medford secondary but the slippery field ran away from his feet and Har- rington caught him from behind. The usual slashing thrust of Medford's fast back- field faded as they bogged down in the mud which reduced the offensive game of both elevens to line-plunging at which the great Eureka trio of Massei, Gould, and Moore shone. The game verged on line warfare as the two teams hammered each other in midfield and late in the game Harrington splashed off guard and through the tackles for a series of gains but the towering line of the visitors quelled the Crim- son rally as the struggle ended. Cave, White, and Bowman curtailed the scoring ac- tivities of the Eurekans' speedy backfield trio led by the scintillating Massei who aside from one drive from midfield never crossed the local's goal. 94 TH E CRATER vvv'93lvvv ll 1 1l l l l Bill Walker, Wilton White, Harlan iler, Cliff Cave, Dick Applegate MEDFORD-6g GRANTS PASS-7 A reckless catch-as-catch-can passing attack with Southpaw Jack Bennett tossing wild heaves to tiny Barney Harmon, coupled with bad officiating breaks, and a couple of rude digs in the rib from fate proved a stumbling block to the Bengals, attempting to run down the elusive phantom of victory and the gun found them still in hot pur- suit but on the short end of a 7-6 score. Big Ernie Bearss, 220-pound threat of the visitors, who had been allotted all the advance publicity, found his line plunges powerless against the line play of Cunning- hfam, Cave, and Thomas, but the aerial barrage worked flawlessly and time and again stayed off Tiger drives. Medford started in typical fashion, rolling up the field tc score when N aumes scooped up a punt blocked by White on the 10-yard line and Zum- brunn slanted across to score Medford's first conference touchdown. The Cavemen were undaunted and evened the count on a wild passing attack when Bennett galloped 15 yards to score after snaring a pass from Ausland and Bearss banged the line for the winning margin. From then on the Tigers ran amuck, tearing off big gains only to be halted time and again by a fluke or bad decision. The final gun found the Tigers a scant 5 yards from victory after a long drive led by Applegate and Harrington. The last drive which failed by scant inches to score was typical of Medford's of- fensive bursts throughout the fracas as the newly moulded backfield had begun to click and startling deceptive formations featured by double reverses and laterals had replaced the berserker driving game of early season. Time and again Walker, Harrington, or Applegate would knife through for a long gain only to have a grim Caveman defense or a fumble halt their advance. Al- though both teams put over a lone score, and a conversion decided the tilt it was a battle of two powerful offenses. The Tigers rolled up yardage on a scathing line attack led by Zumbrunn and Walker and Harrington's twisting trips around the flanks while the marvelous passes of the visitors and the plunges of Gillett, dynamic fullback, were always ominous to the Tiger defensive. 95 rl-IE CRATER. - - -193 I - - - Medford-21 3 Klamath Falls-0 Smarting under three suc- cessive defeats, it was a grim Medford team that trotted out on Klamath Falls' dusty ro- deo field and gave a gala throng of 300 Shriners a sur- prise when they romped to a clean-cut 21-0 victory over the Klamath Pelicans. The beauti- ful kicking of Dick Applegate and the running of Bill Walk- er virtually spurred the Ben- gals to victory as this pair un- did the best offensive thrusts of the Pelicans. Passing, W , which had in three games proved the downfall of the Bengals, changed roles and it was through the air that the Tigers fought to victory. The spectacular boots of Dick Applegate gave the Tigers an advantage which they seized with opportune forward passes. A toss, Walker to Harrington, which the little quarter juggled across the zero line scored the initial touchdown and Zumbrunn con- verted. Giese's Interception Halts Bengal Threat After the opening drive, the Bengals settled down and played a conservative game featured by Walker's shifty runs until the final minutes when a forward lateral, Walker to Applegate, to Bowman, gained 48 yards and a touchdown as Zumbrunn plunged across to score and convert with a place kick. A moment later another pass, Walker to Thomas, in the end zone completed the wreckage of the Pelicans and Har-- rington's neat conversion left the final score 21-0. Medford's machine-like line play stopped the Pelicans' heavy backfield as, al- though on several occasions they marched dangerously close to a score, fate seemed to hold thumbs down and they never seeped through the stubborn Tiger forward wall to cross the zero line. The miniature Medford backfield which had shown great po-- tentialities in earlier defeats came into their own and led by the lithe Walker who turned the flanks for dazzling gains they threatened throughout the contest and in the final moments shattered the jinx which had pursued them all season by slipping over two touchdowns in convincing style to get into the win column. The big shift in fortunes occurred with with Medford holding a 7-0 lead and bat- tling stubbornly to halt Pelican advances. Walker dropped back and lobbed a short pass to Applegate who slipped through a broken field until hemmed in when he shot the ball laterally to Bowman and the big guard was dropped on the five-yard marker. Zumbrunn zoomed through guard to score and Walker added the coupe de grace with a long toss to Thomas for another score. White, Cave, and Cunningham played stellar roles defensively. 96 Tl-IE CIZATER. v . .lgjgl . . . l Ivan Harrington, Bill Cunningham, Farrel Wood, Fred Colvig, Dutch Zumbrunn MEDFORD-12g SALEM-12 Sweeping unimpeded toward a state championship, the great Salem Vikings ran into a re-discovered black tornado which left the wreckage of the invader's Viking ship stranded high and dry on Van Scoyoc field and their state championship aspira- tions hung to the mast with 12 spikes representing two touchdowns hammered across to match two for the Vikings. The final score was 12 to 12 and it sent 2500 rabid fans home dazed with excitement while Holly Huntington, Viking mentor, collected his be- fuddled forces and congratulated them on the fact that the officials didn't see the other touchdown which Burgher's driving Tigers put across. The score of 12 to 12 aptly sums up the battle. Both machines had polished offens- ives-the Tigers using an aerial attack as a potent weapon, while the Senators relied on a strong ground attack. The Senators scored first when they recovered Walker's fumble on the Cardinal and Black 25-yard stripe where Sugai and Weiser battered for a score only to have the Tigers retaliate with a series of drives which sent Har- rington scurrying around end to knot the count as both elevens missed the try for points. The second half was a repetition of the opening canto with neither eleven able to show sustained superiority. Salem made a great march the length of the field where Sugai dove over tackle to place the N ortherners again in a precarious lead which prov- ed short-lived as Clay made a spectacular catch of Harrington's bullet-like 40-yard heave and dodged across to again place the teams in a deadlock. This 12-12 tie ended the scoring, officially, at least, although Applegate and Harrington advanced the ball deep in Senator territory where Naumes hit the line, crossed the goal, wavered and was thrust back. The referee ruled no score and the game ended in a tie. 97 THE clmtelz, - I 4- 'l93l ' an MEDFORD-193 BEND-6 i A genial Medford Bengal, flushed with victory, ran into bad news in the form of a scrappy Bend Lava Bear which failed to observe Airmistice Day in the opening quarters but caved before a final bat- tering assault and fell before the Tigers, 19 to6, in a color- ful holiday spectacle before 3000 spectators. Favored to win for the first time in two years, the Tigers opened with a startling demonstration of smooth power play, going on '-of a steady march for a score l I . A d - Wa ker iomps round Salem En Whlch Zumbrunn Chalked up when he pounded through center. The Bears provided a great spectacle, showing a scrappy defense, which won the admiration of the throng but could do little toward stopping the savage drives of the speedy Medford offensive. The handful of Eastern Oregonians got a thrill when a husky Bend tackle broke through, intercepted a pass from Walker, and rambled 43 yards to the one-yard mark where a plunge netted a score. The score seemed to shake the nettled Tigers from their lethargy as they counted twice more on sustained charges. Walker sliced across for the second score and Zumbrunn added the next after a long pass, Harrington to Thomas, had placed the oval on the 2-yard stripe. Bend never threatened, save for an occasional flurry of passes or one of Meagher's off-tackle drives. Medford power was evidenced throughout the struggle as Applegate, Harrington, or Walker broke away for long gains but determined stands by the Bruins or a fumble always cost a score. The first counter came when Medford crossed up their startled foes as Cunningham, huge Medford tackle, shifted to end and snared a long toss from Harrington to place the locals in a scoring position. An aerial attack which had for half the schedule been a stumbling block to the Bengals was brought into opera-- tion by them and worked surprisingly as they stole the Bruins' thunder with their passing attack. Another long pass, this time from Harrington to Thomas provided the next score and a volley of shorter tosses put the oval in a position for Walker to scurry off tackle to stow the contest safely away for the Medfordites. Buddy Burrell, Bend's diminutive portside quarterback launched a passing attack at intervals during the struggle which provided the Medford team with an occasional scare but each succeeding drive came to grief at the hands of Medford's speedy de- fense. The lone digit marked up by the Lava Bears came under the heading of a con- solation as the speed and power of the Tigers pushed their foes around with ease, de- spite the dogged spirit which was the admiration of the colorful throng which Wit- nessed the game. 98 TH E. CRATEIZ. 'l93l ' 1 U- 1' MEDFORD-14g KLAMATH FALLS-0 Most of Medford's high-geared offensive deception was wasted against a sturdy red Klamath 'Pelican line but the nonchalant Tigers cooly interspersed opportune for- ward passes with a blasting line attack to scuttle the Klamathites in their return en- counter. The final score read 14 to 0, which gave ample testimony of the Ber1gal's re- serve strength, as a combination second and third squad was used. Klamath's big, hard-charging eleven presented a desperate defense but the Medford reserves were clicking neatly and again speed and line superiority brought victory. Once more, Med- ford opened in whirlwind style, hammering the center and rounding the flanks in a steady goalward drive which ended only when Zumbrunn dove across to reach pay dirt. The big Dutchman's educated toe again provided the conversion. With a score to rest on, Burgher removed his regulars only to have the reserves show a polished attack which left the visitors badly outplayed. In the closing minutes the ambitious Loggers instigated a running attack against the Medford reserves which was halted on the 31-yard stripe. From here N ooks Nau- mes squeezed through center and wriggled 69 yards to cross the line and bring the jubilant Medford rooters to their feet with the neatness of execution with which the play was run. Throughout the game the Bengals abandoned their usual trickery for straight football and the regulars were held in check for the Ashland tilt. Medford uncovered little deception for the edification of Ashland scouts and stuck to straight football where they showed a superiority. A reserve backfield pair, Max Gilinsky and Nooks N aumes, added the spark which set the Tigers off as they slid through for gains with regularity. The light reserved line also functioned smooth- ly, opening up big gaps in the Logger line. Shreeve, Grieve, and Wood, frequently broke through to smear Klamath advances and their offensive interference led the way for the long gains through the line. Bud Thomas, Norman Fraley, Max Gilinsky, Don Grieve, Leonard Shreve 99 THE CIZATEIL MEDFORD-26g ASHLAND-7 The flying feet of tiny Bill Walker beat out a funeral dirge for Ashland hopes as the shifty Medford quarter gave one of the greatest individual broken field exhibi- tions ever put on, on Ashland's historic tilting gridiron to lead his growling Tiger pack to an overwhelming 26-7 victory over the Lithians and a tie for Southern Ore- gon honors. A great Medford eleven growing in speed and power reached its climax in the Thanksgiving day encounter and swept the famed Ashland team to only a tat- tered remnant of the touted champions who took the field. Scythe-like interference which bowled over would-be tacklers paved the way for Walker'to race 90 and 80 yards respectively for two scores and to haul in a pass for a third. Again the typical Medford offensive burst produced a score as the Bengals plod- ded stolidly uphill where Zumbrunn bucked across to score and convert giving the Tigers a 7-0 lead. Amazed by such a presumptious act, the Ashlanders started a march which ended promptly with a fumble and rebounded tragically when Walker grabbed a flat pass from Harrington to score again. Once more Zumbrunn's toe netted the try for a point and even their plunging at- tack, led by the giant Howell, was hurled back by the fighting Crimson line. The sec- ond half saw Applegate and Harrington piercing the Lithian line for gains but their drives were forgotten when Walker turned the game into a rout with his broken field sallies for scores. ' The crestfallen Grizzlies possessed a final punch which they launched by scoring against the Tiger reserves.

M. Kirtley and B. R. Finch. The cubs, although members of the squad undergoing the same drill, functioned as a separate machine for the purpose of giving the varsity opposition and their ability in this re- spect is largely responsible for the showing of the Bengal eleven. The cubs opened the season against Ray Hender- son junior High team runners up for state honors and turned in a 13-0 victory. A heavy line relying on straight foot- ball showed a convincing superiority to the Frosh eleven. The second Junior High encounter was a tougher battle although the cubs rolled up 19 markers while blanking the Frosh. Colbaugh and Harrington featured with long runs. Zumbrunn Downed Behind Line Glendale high were the next victims dropping a 33-0 encounter to the youthful Tigers who played with zest. Hammock, Minear, and Lowry were outstanding in the cub line. The following game played in a sea of mud gave the cubs a 27-6 verdict over the Gaels -of St. Mary's High. Harrington, Latham, and Colbaugh broke away for scores in the last period after the Irish had put over the initial score of the season against the Cubs, on a pass from Reddy to Smith. Great line play by Boyd, Putney, and Hammock enabled the Cubs to again trounce junior High 27-6. In the final game of the season the Cubs suffered their lone defeat bowing to Myrtle Creek 12-0 when the superior weight of the country lads told in the early stages of the game.

Biden, business manager of the Associated stu- dents, aided by B. R. Finch, assistant principal, this year evolved a business system which was the most efficient ever attempted at Medford high school. The sale of the Student Body and Hi Times tickets, parades, the Junior Carnival, and all events involving financial matters were handled by the business manager. This division of the student body also handled the scheduling of athletic contests and all financial matters of the school. Un- der Biden's direction a new organization of managers for every sport was conducted with efficiency. Many innovations to increase the attendance and interest in athletic contests as Well as to gain additional receipts were at-- tempted and successfully carried through. On the whole the As- sociated students had a well organized unit for financial and managerial work and completed a most successful year. 102 THE CRATER, ' l93l ' . Waskethazfl The greatest season ever experienced was the verdict of fans who followed Med- ford's colorful Tigers through their wild up and down career, when they virtually won the Southern Oregon title only to toss it away when jinxed by injuries in late season. The big crimson-arrayed 'quintet won 12 games and lost 6 and through a queer quirk of Fate seemed to win their important games and to drop the lesser con- tests. Inspirational victories over such great outfits as Mt. Shasta, strongest team in California, Del Norte, who went undefeated in their section, University High, and Chemawa Indians, powerful Willamette valley fives, stamped the Bengals as a great team, but glaring off nights against Chiloquin and Ashland pulled down the point average. Coach Burgher's clean, clever teamwork alternating a veteran five with a practically all-sophomore combination, was sensational and placed Medford among' the foremost contenders for the state gonfalon until the combination was broken by in- juries and ineligibilities. Virgie Clay, stellar offensive forward, Red Scheel, and Ivan Harrington, rugged guard combination, a trio all mentioned for the all-southern Oregon honors were lost to the team at mid-season and from that point the Tigers faltered. After breezing along for nine consecutive wins and a top position in the sec- tional loop, the weakened Tigers suffered a letdown and dropped the sectional crown. All in all it was a great season bringing memorable victories and hard fought defeats and it gave promise of future great teams. V CRESCENT CITY 21g MEDFORD 18 Fin! C ferrari! C ily Game After a brief series of practices the Tigers rang up the curtain on the southern Oregon basketball season by dropping a loosely played contest to Del Norte high school of Crescent City by a 21-28 count. Aggressive guarding featured the tilt which was even up until the final moments when Span and Koerner dropped in long shots to place the lads from the Redwood empire in the lead which they never relinquished. 103 THE CIZATEIZ, . . . '93 I . . - ,WWI R Odd Hughes Chuck Clay Jack Caldwell George Harrington CRESCENT CITY 6, MEDFORD 19 Showing a bewildering reversal of form the 'Tigers came back sensationally the following evening and led by Hughes and Clay rolled up 19 counters while the nor- thern California champions gained but six. Burgher substituted his teams by halves and great defensive work baffled the coast team. Caldwell, Ivan Harrington, and Scheel looked great, defensively holding their opponents to a brace of field goals. MEDFORD-365 UNIVERSITY HIGH-16 University high school, strong Willamette valley five, invaded the local armory but fell before Medford's team, by team substitutions and collapsed in the final canto losing 36-16. In Milligan, Buck, and McAllister the Northerners had a clever trio but the height and speed of the Tigers wore down the plucky Eugenians and resulted in a lop-sided win for the Bengals. Caldwell, Clay and Harrington played good ball for Medford. MEDFORD-28, CRESCENT CITY-18 Medford renewed its feud with Del Norte high school at the seacoast city and was again victorious dropping the foes by a 28-18 count. Burgher's shock troop methods were much in evidence wearing the resistance of their opponents to a whisper. White and Dietrick, a lanky reserve guard combination, and George Harrington led the of- fense. Koerner and Cravelli shone for the Crescent City team. MEDFORD-18g CRESCENT CITY-24 Suffering from cockiness the Bengals took to the court to end up their four-game series with Del Norte high by a win only to have the determined red-and-white clad quintet put up a great battle climaxed by a last-minute rally to cop the game 24-18 and leave the series all square. Harrington and Scheel led the Medfordites who look-- ed a bit off-color passing wildly and checking roughly. Cravelli led the scoring attack of the home guard. MEDFORD-263 MT. SHASTA-22 A mighty Mt. Shasta quintet, champions of central and northern California and undefeated for two years, ran afoul of an inspired Medford five and lost 26-22 in a game packed with thrills. The Bengals played beautifully as their floorwork and de- fensive tactics puzzled the California titleholders and enabled them to sweep to a 104 THE CIZATEIZ. -v v lv v L l l I Bud Thomas .loe Patton Wilton White Bill Walker 16-2 lead before the Shasta team found its bearings and through the efforts of Cap- tain Edwards began to roll up its total. Red Scheel, sorrel-topped sophomore, and Ivan Harrington, playing his last game, were the main cogs in the Medford attack, guarding alertly and sinking spectacular shots. In the final canto the California team rallied as the game ended but Medford's first team reentered the imbroglio and neat shots by Caldwell and Hughes proved the winning margin in the overtime period. Rizzi, all-California guard played spectacularly for the visitors. MEDFORD-175 PHOENIX-ll In a practice game Burgher ran his reserves against Phoenix and they defeated the secondary champs 17-ll. The small gymnasium almost proved a surprise to the locals who were amazed at the presistent aggressiveness of the country lads and barely nosed out a victory. Caldwell, Thomas, and Hammock shone defensively and dropped occasional cripple shots. MEDFORD-333 GRANTS PASS-11 In the opening encounter of the Southern Oregon league, Medford ran circles around the husky Grants Pass five to ring up a 33-11 victory on the Cavemen's floor. Odd Hughes, slender Tiger captain consistently dropped through long shots while his lanky mates held down the attack of their ponderous foes. Wiley, Bearss, Harmon and Co. started fast but wilted under the fast pace and frequent substitutions. Clay, Pat- ton and Scheel played major roles in the fracas. MEDFORD-24g KLAMATH FALLS-13 The rambling Bengals next played host to Klamath Falls and turned back the Pelicans with ease by a 24-13 score at the local armory. Again Medford's powerful re- serve strength proved the deciding factor as Klamath faltered in the last half. Ham- mock, Dietrick, and White, reserves, ran up the total after Clay and Harrington had set a rapid pace during the early stages. Wakeman and Triplette were the Pelican luminaries. MEDFORD-45g CHEMAWA-25 Clicking beautifully in full stride, Medford added the scalp of the crack Chema- wa Indians to its belt when they dropped the Aborigines 45-25 in their initial meeting at the Medford armory. 105 THE CIZATEI2, - - 'l93l - + - Lloyd Hammock Ivan Harrington Red Scheel Bob Dietrich Clay, Hughes, and Caldwell were the big guns of the Bengal offensive as they rippled the twine with shots from every angle. The Indians had a neatly timed attack but could not cope with the speed and height of the Tigers. Vivette and Dog Eagle played clever ball for the Redskins although they slowed before Medford's two-team tactics enabling the towering Tigers to work the backboard for frequent cripple shots to boost their margin. MEDFORD-295 CHEMAWA-40 Georgie Harrington was the fair-headed boy in local parts, figuratively as well as literally, as the blond Medford forward gave a great shooting exhibition to provide the only excitement when the Indians staged a comeback to trim the over-confident Medford Tigers 40-29 on the Medford court. Gathering 16 markers on shots from unheard-of distances by Harrington didn't prove any inspiration to the Bengals who could not cope with the devastating speed and accuracy of the Indians. Sensing a victory the Redskins increased their pace in the final minutes and the Medford reserves faltered in their defensive play. Shoulder Blade and Hatfield shared scoring honors for the foxy Redskins. MEDFORD-Z5-GRANTS PASS-9 Medford leading the southern Oregon league met the Grants Pass Cavemen, hold- ing down a cellar berth in the same loop and after the game they both retained their positions by virtue of the dope running true to form when the Bengals romped to an easy 25-9 win on the Medford maple. The Tigers played nonchalantly and their speed and cleverness offset the superior bulk and aggressiveness of the appropriated titled Cavemen. Captain Hughes and Virgie Clay, forward mates, were co-stars in the easy win. MEDFORD-30-KLAMATH FALLS-ll In a return engagement with the Pelicans on the latter's floor, Medford's lanky easy-going Bengals used their two-team switch with customary effect to hand the Klamathites a 30-ll pasting. With Wakeman and Allen tanking shots to start scor- ing proceedings, the Medford contingent suffered momentary uneasiness which was soon allayed with a Tiger spurt which placed the Pelicans on the short end of the score where they remained with utmost docility. The victory featured by the clever work of Georgie Harrington and Thomas was costly as Red Scheel, rugged guard, suffered an injury which kept him out for the season. 106 THE CRATER. . . .I93 I . . . l 1 i MEDFORD-35-BOLSHEVIKS-19 Medford next met the Bolsheviks, fast local independent outfit, boasting several former all-state players and administered a basketball lesson to the tune of 35-19. Virgie Clay, Medford star, and Tully Williams, two-year all-state man, furnish- ed the high lights with a personal feud which caused the stocky old grad to be chased from the game. The Medford reserves forged ahead and put the game on ice on bril- liant teamwork led by Harrington, Dietrick, and White. MEDFORD-12-CHILOQUIN-14 With the all-important Ashland series in the offing, Coach Burgher pitted his re- serves against Chiloquin and the lumber city won by a 14-12 count in a great mixture of football, La Crosse, and wrestling. The clever Medfordites were perturbed by their foes' proficiency in mixing wristlocks and half-Nelsons with left hooks and the ina- bility of the referee to see anything less than first degree murder. Dietrick and White led the Tiger scoring. MEDFORD-24-ASHLAND-28 With only one game needed to cinch sectional honors, Medford's crippled and overstrung Tigers dropped a wild contest to Ashland 28-24 at the local armory. The Lithians rated as underdogs set a wild pace checked roughly and managed to eke out a narrow win when a Medford rally failed to overtake an early lead. Virgie Clay. Bengal star, was injured in the opening minutes and the fighting spark left with him. Thomas and Dietrick, Medford guards, accounted for eight digits a piece on spasmodic vollies of one handed shots. Ward Howell, towering Lithian, all-state cen- ter, led an early rampage which placed Ashland in an apparently safe lead but Oliver Hughes began to locate the hoop in the closing moments and gave one thousand fans, who jammed the armory, a thrill by bringing the score steadily upward till the gun ended the wild fracas with Ashland clinging to a precarious 4-point margin and stall- ing to protect it. MEDFORD-Z4-ASHLAND-25 When Bob Dietrick, long-legged Medford forward, missed two gift throws with five seconds remaining to play, Medford's visions of a southern Oregon title went glimmering and 800 wild-eyed fans saw the finish of a great sport drama which kept the packed Ashland gymnasium in a bedlam for 32 minutes of frenzied basketball be- sprinkled with roughness and fouls. A customary start was witnessed by the crowd and the Lithians, led by Reeder and Gill, got away to a flying start finding the hoop with heart-breaking, one-handed, mid-floor shots. The Tigers seemed stunned by the 107 THE CRATEI2, v . vlgz I . y . suddenness of the attack and were trailing 9-2 at the quarter. A marvelous long shoot- ing attack featured by Reeder rolled up the score despite dogged resistance on the part of the Bengals who seemed unable to find the twine on their shots. Trailing 25-14 at the opening of the final quarter the Bengals suddenly came to life and began to whittle away the Grizzly advantage. White tippedin a cripple and converted a foul. Hughes twice lobbed in angle shots. Thomas slipped away to cage one and while frantic Lithians watched the timekeeper Reeder fouled Dietrick giving the heady Medford lad a brace of charity throws, both of which heaves careened off the hoop carrying with them Medford's hopes of a state title shot. RESERVE BASKETBALL The Tiger cubs, Medford's supervarsity quintet under the guidance of Ray Hender- son, experienced rough going in their heavy schedule, dropping eight games and winning five but gaining valuable experience to form the nucleus of future Tiger teams. The cats ran into difficulties in early season dropping five straight before defeating St. Mary's state champs in the Parochial school division. After the initial victory the cubs managed to finish their schedule with only three additional de- feats chalked against them while they rang up five victories. Under Coaches Burgher and Henderson the nattily attired reserves show- ed flashes of ability mixed with glaring off- i nights which sent their average cellarward. The Cubs did not take kindly to Burgher's combination zone and man-to-man defense, but their speed and floorwork gave them a high scoring combination which was frequently called upon to prove the old adage about the best offense being a good defense. Unfortunately for their records sake the Cubs did more to refute than to prove that argument. Constant scrimmage against the first team instilled form and flashiness into the Cubs which coupled with their speed made them the equal of any aggregation but the roughness and size of some country opponents with occasional defensive lapses fre- quently contributed to the Cub downfall by narrow margins. Those who received monograms and will be on hand for the first string next year are Thomas, Elson, Reddy, Trill, Brown, McDonald, Lindley, Dallaire, Knips, Latham, Shaeffer, and Ray Henderson Canine.

Methodist-21 '108 THECIZATEIZ, j l93l ' I, , fgenms The 1931 edition of Medford high school's unusually fine net squad was in the making when the annual went to pressg however, indications were that the Tiger five which rolled up 18 victories against one defeat in the past three years and once cap- tured the mythical state crown, once tied for it and once placed as runners-up would not be as strong as in the past. Coach Al Tollefson, however, usually moulded a team which was capable of mak- ing a creditable showing against any team in the State league. The loss of Captain jimmy Edmiston, central and southern Oregon champion, Al- an Carley, and john Reddy, the latter through ineligibility, during the current sea- son proved a blow to the team but the Red and Black squad contained a number of promising youngsters who bid fair to outdo their touted predecessors. joe Patton won the school singles title when he downed john Reddy in a torrid four-set match. Captain Joe Patton, Harry Garfield, Roger Early, Lloyd Sunderman, Ernie Con- rad, Don Wold, Dick Sleeter, Phil Quisenberry, Art Brown and Wishie Dallaire were the squad which carried the Tigers through their 1931 campaign so successfully. In the opening match of the 1930 campaign on the local courts the Bengals downed Grants Pass, 6-1. Simpson, elongated Caveman, Number 2 man, defeated Garfield for the Cavemen's lone marker. In their second encounter the strong Medfordites blanked their amazed foes, 7-0, as the Caveman five failed to gain even a set on their home court. The Bengals next journeyed to Klamath Falls where they dealt the Peli- cans like treatment, winning by a 6-1 route. Wild Harry Garfield was again.the jinx- ed one losing a close battle to Palmer. Edmiston and Reddy at one and two positions turned in easy wins. The following week the Pelicans were no more successful, as the crack Tiger team scored another 7-0 shutout, Carley and Patton winning in particularly easy style. Grants Pass came back for more punishment and got it in the form of a 6-1 drubbing in which Garfield, Patton, and Reddy played leading roles. With the state title at stake the Tigers next went on a long upstate trek to Portland where on Grant's courts they suffered their lone defeat by a 6-1 score. The strong Grant five led by Don Lewis of coast wide fame and John Gallagher staged a comeback to win the match which at first looked decidedly bad for the Portland titleholders. Edmiston and Patton turned in the one win in dobules. 109 THE CIIATEIQ, v . -493' .. . .-of l fgenms Squad Eugene Hi next fell before Medford, 5-2 on the University courts. Edmiston and Garfield cinched the match with wins. Medford returned to their home courts to play host to Albany and Eugene high on successive Saturdays and in both cases the result was an easy 6-l victory for the locals who seemed to have a penchant for that margin. The 'Tigers next entered the collegiate field, downing the Southern Oregon Normal school, 5-2. Reddy and Patton looked good in turning in wins. With the championship of Oregon outside of Portland already won the Tigers ended their season in a blaze of glory by shutting out University high school. Wil- lamette valley champions, 7-0 in easy style. Edmiston, Carley, and Reddy played their farewell games winning handily. A team composed almost wholly of rookies but steadied by the presence of joe Patton and Harry Garfield, two of the state's finest prep netmen, took to the courts to inaugurate the past season. In the opening match the Medford Lawn Tennis club suc- ceeded in holding the Tigers to a 3-3 deadlock in a match halted by rain. After a series of informal practice matches with the club the Tigers embarked on their sched- ule by drubbing Grants Pass 6-1 on the local courts. The Patton-Garfield combine looked particularly impressive in victory. Grants Pass next met the Medfordites on their home courts but their veteran team was upset by Medford's green lineup by a 5-Z count Once again the Tigers took a 5-Z decision, this time from the Klamath Pelicans on the Tigers' court. jean Eberhard's crack University high team broke the local's great undefeated record when they shaded them 4-3 before a large crowd on the home courts, and a few weeks later the Klamath Pelicans turned-the tables on the Medford- ites when they defeated them by their jinx margin 4-3 on the Klamath courts. De- spite their defeat the Bengals succeeded in annexing the southern Oregon titlei 110 THE cmsualz, v ' 'l93l ' 4 Hntromtfmazl Sports For the first time in the history of athletics in Medford high school the average boy had a chance to participate in competitive sports due to a series of intramural basketball games directed by E. M. Kirtley, assistant coach. These games staged dur- ing the winter succeeded in awakening unprecedent interest in the hoop game and bringing out large numbers of enthusiastic lads, ambitious to be initiated into the mysteries of basketball. Interest was at fever-pitch early in the contest when such quints as the Wild Cats, Devil Dogs, Clodbusters, Hayseeds, Grizzlies, and Piano-movers, began to loom as most prominent contenders for the title. In the opening fracas the Wildcats stopped the Devil Dogs, 23-19 in an overtime affair only to have the satanic canines, led by Captain Colbaugh and Lowry, stage a comeback to cop the consolation affair and right to meet the winner of the other division whom they drubbed 38-7 in a tame affair tc win the series. While not distinguished for the polished brand of ball produced, the tourney did serve its purpose of creating interest in sports and in putting into practice a long hoped-for program of sports for all. The series of games filled a lond-needed want in developing the average youth besides furnishing an abundance of thrills to those who participated. As the tourna- ment reached the semi-final rounds, attendance went upward and a final victory for the Devil Dogs added a successful climax to the affair. Curtis, Colbaugh, Webb, and Kellogg, all captains, were outstanding in bringing their teams to the fore. Mr. Kirt- ley officiated at the games and gave each team drill on the fundamentals working tirelessly with the youths to develop them physically and instill in them ideas of clean play and sportsmanship. 111 THE CIZATEI2, Sophomore ond gnnzior gntercloss Wrrrenholl QZQ7inners The final touch to a highly successful program of intramural sports was added when the sophomore class walked off with first honors in the interclass kittenball series held to top off the spring sports program. The series was productive in every sense providing thrills for the spectators and participants as well as serving its pur- pose of developing the less talented youths. The- games opened on the Van Scoyoc field diamond with the strong sophomores giving the hapless frosh an artistic 19-3 lacing. The work of Cloyd Smith on the mound for the second-year men was outstanding and a triple play with bases filled killed the last threat of the wearers of the green. In an other first-round event the seniors defeated the juniors in an upperclass feud 7-3. Clay, Thomas, Hughes, and Bowman, all baseball lettermen, had little difficulty solving the slants of Higgins who occupied the mound for the juniors and a late rally produced a comfortable win. The seniors and sophomores winners, in their respective games, met for the school championship in a game which produced an alarming 14-fl white-washing for the seniors. Cloyd Smith again hurled beautifully with good sur- port while the lower classmen took kindly to the offerings of Clay and heavy-hitting bv Scheel, Latham, Rae, and Lowry, contributed tothe senior downfall. The games were received with enthusiasm by students and fulfilled the hopes of the school board of making intramural sports a success from every angle. ' 112 THE CIZATER. l l Junior Interclass Basketball Titalists Freshmen llunner's UD A rally in the closing minutes of the game gave the juniors a narrow 30-27 victorv over the freshmen in the finals of the interclass basketball tourney, thus bringing to a conclusion a series of games which aptly served its purpose of awakening interest in basketball and giving Coaches Burgher, Kirtley, and Finch a line on material for the Tiger squad. A husky crowd of 60 youngsters answered the initial call at the armory where teams were divided, next undergoing some preliminary drill. In the opening encounter the seniors underwent a disfraceful 27-24 defeat at the hands of the frosh when Max Gilinsky, green guard, chucked in three mid-floor heaves in the last minutes. Hadley Arthur gathered 18 counters for the losers. The juniors next took the court against the sophomores and came out on the long end of the affair winning handily 35-19 when the trio of White, Patton, and Georgie Har- rington broke through the sophomore defense for cripple shots in the opening period. In the final game the freshmen demonstrated that their showing against the seniors was no mere fluke by giving the junior outfit a tussle all the way before succumbing 30-27. Harrington, White, Patton, and Dietrick, all polished players, were bothered by the frosh aggressiveness and failed to get started until late in the game. Swank and' Turpin led the green scorers. In the final consolation affair the sophomores added insult to injury by pushing the class of '31 into the basement by virtue of a 20-16 win. Scheel and Hammock of the Sophs and Shaw and Reddy of the losers deserve mention. The tournament was ln every way successful particularly in the unearthing latent talent for the Tiger squad. 11? THE clzA1Elz, ' v 'l93l - ' - y . Qep Pep in the high school which was long bemoaned as sadly languishing and des- tined to die underwent a re- juvenation during the past year when school spirit wax- ed strong and various activi- ties were sponsored by the school with a high degree of success. Yell kings jack Boyl and Frankie Graham suc- ceeded in presenting many pep features for various oe- casions as Well as inserting spirit into assemblies. To foster school spirit a plan sponsored by President Ap- plegate of having an organi- zation known as the Tiger Guards composed of 10 mem- . bers presided over by a ra- jah was put into effect and if proved revolutionary by cre- IW Gfflhflm ating a closer feeling among the students. Hxuberant spirits which once had an out-let in egg- and fist-fights were guided into useful channels such as well-organized parade, stunts, and cheering sec- tions. In keeping with lVledford's much wider athletic scope the old system of organi- zed school traditions was discarded for a much more adequate one. Radio rallys were held before important athletic contests, serpentines and noise-parades all led to a bet- ter fusion of school spirit. Local people were soon made aware of the quickened school feeling and were ready to respond to the pep program. A glaring Tiger reposing on a throne carried by uniformed Tiger guards was always a prominent figure at the head of 500 students who serpentined through down-town thoroughfares. Helen Edmiston, song queen, directed the Girls' Pep club in staging novel prog- rams to arouse interest in coming athletic events: - Y 114 THE CRATER v - 'l93l - - - x ' W Wx i n The .coral fisher who had been a lang time beneath Zhe waler rare in lhe sarfaee with nothing in his hand but a spray of crimson yea weed.

Again revived by a gust from George Bennett's oral aperture, in lieu of smelling salts, he clutched an attendant furtively and poured forth a one-man debate in favor of the respirational process.

'Napoleon was a great general-a great general, he emphasized, but where is he now? Napoleon stopped breathing. George Washington was a great man and he stopped breathing. Where is he now? He grasped the attendant's lapels tearfully, and beseeched him, Breathe, my lad, breathe and keep on breathing if you want to amount to anything twenty years from now.

QAS5- ll Indian Tribej The Reflectorf' one of the few tvventy-five-star plays of the season, was a rousing success, in fact, at the final curtain, it took the doorman, three ushers and a flying squadron of the Tiger Guards to arouse the audience. The plot begins with a buzzard wheeling overhead, and the distant cackle of hye- nas as they sense carrion-like qualities of the story. The play revolves about the idea of re-incarnation, so we are told, but it seems likely that the word was confused with metamorphosis, for though human characters could act so rankly in the first scene fwe grudgingly concede them humanl some transmutation must have occurred be- tween times to account for acting in the second, so vile that we, in our faith in hu' manity, cannot even term human, but which we can only compare with some of our animal stars such as Rin-Tin-Tin, or Tarzan, the wonder horse. CHeaven grant that this doesn't reach the ears of their press agents, we may have a damage suit.j De jar and Bungstarter are a pair of ideally matched lovers. We may say perfect- ly, nay superbly. Yes, they, in the qualities of their acting, so low that few persons have reached their depths, are well-nigh alone in their art and must be pronounced the superb pair. The play went as smoothly as the limits of character and plot would allow until the third scene, when it was stopped by the inspector of health who closed the building, thinking that a sewer had backed up within the theater, because of the evidences of the play's putridity which had wafted into the streets outside.

This year's management claims to have the quickest turn-over of staff members in history. The Arnold Bennett Hall trophy awarded for the best paper in the state was ob- tained by the Hi Times only through the pull of Big Art Schoeni at U. of O. It is now used as a cuspidor. WE GOTTA CUT DOWN ON EXPENSES The Crater is a little smaller than the Ashland telephone directory and about as interesting. The principal activities of the Crater staff are missing appointments for group photographs, finding new places to put their pictures, and getting out of classes. If all the energy that goes into publishing a Crater were expended in useful channels it would be a good idea. The most pathetic thing about a Crater is that after the staff has worked a year, racked its respective brains for something new, and struggled to get the book out on time agajnst overwhelming odds, the final result of it all is just another Crater. To HELL with it. WE GOTTA CUT DOWN ON EXPENSES Since its inception some years ago the F. F. A. has been one of the rising organiza- tions of the school. They raise the morale of the stockg they also raise the average of persons leaving the farm for city life and generally contribute a great deal to city life through their staying on the farm. Seedy Thompson, our able professor, has great hopes for his proteges if they can succeed in mastering the contents of the Specialist, and he is further planning to enter Loren Scheel, Bill Woodford, and Johnny Morris in the divisional finals of the Hog calling contest to be held at' Oregon State.

The Rateyes were morose and surly because their presidential candidate, Horace McWhiff, was soundly drubbed by Axel Nelson of the Dropseat faction. It is greatly feared that the Rateye er:-P ponent won't be able to take an- other of their exciting fishing trips into Moose Lake for quite some time. After much vaccination, innocu- lation, and dissipation that great-- est scientist of all times, Sir Har- ry of Stoke, has compiled an esti-- mate of the amount of energy ex- pended when the Rateye Bloc per- formed the gargantuan feat of stamping out the student body meeting when a few slurring re- marks were cast in the direction of their candidate, Jacques of Hoyle.

It seems that Count Leanel's ticket took a sound beating in the balloting due to Leanel's fiery speeches in the assembly, no one could understand Leane1's Highline drawl, and really thought he was talking for Axel Nelson. A Cossack Cornwell and his defiant band of communists refused to divulge their views on the election results, but it is thought that they may betake themselves to Russia where communism is appreciated. Baron Von Bailey has decided to set his own little Maxie Cartier up on the stage as a matinee idol in hopes that the little girls will all come to see this unsung Barry- more and the Baron will make lots of money with which to support his growing family. Now coming around to the jubilant Dropseats, who have emerged from the tension of pre-election days and are looking forward to the golden days when Axel Nelson will rule with an iron hand, we find that June Bug de Porterr and his sattelites are planning a colossal celebration at one of the ritzy cafes on South Front St. 1734 TI-I E CIZATEI2, , Oh Z -A VI' I1 HX- xkxr, K ff, I 1' -'EUWQS4 , M if 'if' l . , QT rf .ZH w L L Qlpnlglf T mc! m 3 X -27' .,y..

Mamma wouldn't let them smoke at home, they were youngish to be seen smoking on the streets fallow me to deviate, ain't times changedj they weren't allowed to indulge at school-wasn't that sad? So one dreamy young man said, Give ear to this-remember, Comrades, 'In union there is strength'. t'Hussah, hussah, they all cried in a right bright spirit. Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I have the place-it's a darb, my oh, my oh. From this point of vantage we can view the passing pulchritude, recline at ease and bask in the sun. Follow me, my Comrades, and you shall see ! Like a quickly passing gust of wind they reached the designated spot-'Oh, bliss, what is thy power.' And whether they didn't have a cough, were satisfied, blew some someone's way, or were nonchalent they had found the unattainable something for which they had al- ways yearned. 'tAnd, Hessy, from that day to this one as sure as the wind blows due north, Whether young men come or young men go, They always end up on Nicotine Row. 136 n-:E cnArE.lz, - - - los I ' - - y oeuv-x NNALVEN ...vveouf f No 0 .m.
