Myrtle Point High School - Bobcat Yearbook (Myrtle Point, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 46 of the 1915 volume:

r() the members of the Faculty and of the Student Body ‘III of the Myrtle Point High School and to all persons who are interested in the publication of the High School’s first annual, this book is dedicated. Josephine Hayes, Editor. Mf%() man makes a success of any work if he cannot become enthusiastic about it; and he cannot become enthusiastic unless he likes his work. Enthusiasm is necessary to make a success of it. No man does so well as he might do if he is working at one thing and wishes he were doing something else. Study the work you are doing. Find out if you are doing it the right way. Try to discover a better way of doing it. As soon as a man gets it into his head that there is a right way and a wrong way to every job, that man has taken the first step toward making his job interesting. John M. Brock X A soft answer may turn away wrath, but very often it gets started too late to block the blow that has already got on its way. -----------------------------+------------------------------ Cable of Content© Frontisepiece .... 1 Index - - - - - 2 Editorial Staff - - - - 3 Editorial ..... 4.5 Faculty - - - - - 6-7 Seniors ..... 8-13 Juniors - - - - - 14-15 Sophomores .... 16-17 Freshmen y .... 18-20 Athletics .... 21-23 Teachers’ Training and Alumni - - 24 Mid-year Freshmen and Grammar School - 25 Publications, Entertainments and Social Affairs - - - - - 26 Clubs and Organizations - - 27 Laughs ----- 28 Band ..... 29 Advertising .... 30-38 The End (cartoon) ... 38 i———-------------- +------------------------ Anyone can be thankful for what they have.

THREE EDITORIAL 31T BEING customary for all high schools to edit annuals and having never before in the history of the Myrtle Point High School edited an annual, the students this year had a great desire to do so. Accordingly, the student body elected their officers, who in turn appointed associate editors from the various classes. This staff has done all the work alone and without supervision, so one can readily see that the task has also been a great responsibility. We sincerely hope the people will appreciate our efforts and that this book will please everyone who reads it. Neither do we wish it to be read and cast aside but hope that it may be used as a memory book to remind us of our efforts in 1915. We also wish the reader to overlook all mistakes, for by mistakes we learn to improve. The annual represents the combined efforts of all the classes, each class having a special corner, this being under the supervision of the associate editor of each class. The ed- FOUR T II K O It I II K I S itors have made them entirely responsible for their department. It also represents, in a small measure, the grammar school of Myrtle Point, the material for this part being furnished by a member of the staff. In the book we have tried to present a full and impartial record of the entire school year, including the various activities, also life standards, ideals, etc., of our school, and in doing this we hope we have done full justice to the school. The editors wish to thank the members of the staff for their cooperation and work. They also wish to thank the merchants, business and professional men, as well as the rest of the people of the town for their kindly assistance. We hope we have covered everything, left nothing undone and we also hope that in after years these pages will recall to memory happy days spent at the Myrtle Point High School — memories of victories won and friendships formed, of moments of ideal recreation and profitable hours of study—our purpose shall have been fulfilled. -----♦— ■ Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But we, with a chuckle, replied: That “maybe it couldn’t,’’ we would be one Who wouldn’t say so till we’d tried. So we buckled right in, with the trace of a grin On our faces. If we worried, we hid it. We started to sing as we tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and we did it. —F. M. w.

TEN SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY In January of this year, 1925, being tired of teaching, I decided to take a trip with my horse and dog. After traveling through the mountains for a day, at dusk I came to a small farm on the brow of a hill. A man was feeding a couple of mules near the road. I stopped when I neared him and asked if I might stay all night. He was very courteous and taking my horse, asked me to go into the house. As I neared the building I met two white haired children whose features seemed familiar; and upon entering the house was surprised to find Abbie, one of my old school-mates. She and Endigo wished me to visit them for a week but in the morning I decided to continue my journey. The next day by a brook in a small valley I chanced upon a camping party. They asked me to eat lunch with them as they had it already prepared. Who would this be but four more of my old class-mates, Harry and Audrey, and Ervin and Annie, who were on their way for a camping trip at Bandon. My I was surprised, for who would have thought that these couples would tie up. Three days later I was on the beach at Port Orford and found some very nice agates. These I took to a shop in the city to have ground; I asked for the owner as I wished the work to be done well. To my astonishment I was introduced to Floyd, another senior of the past. He was (head over heels in money) and asked me to stay there and share his lonely life, but I had my mind made up and decided to travel on. I went to a blacksmith shop to have my horse shod before leaving, and who was swinging the hammer but Larry He did an excellent job, for my horse still wears the shoes. In Gold Beach my pet dog became very ill and I inquired for a veterinary. I was directed to the office of the best one in town and there I met Roy. He speedily cured my dog and would not charge me a cent. ELEVEN T II E O K I� II l : I s Upon entering Crescent City, California, (at break-neck speed) John politely stepped forward and commanded me to slow down. He was chief of police in this town. I inquired as to Zella’s whereabouts. He said they were living on 22nd Avenue and she was conducting a millinery shop. Would liked to have visited them but did not have time to tarry. After reaching San Francisco, I spent a few days there that I and my horse might rest. I was certainly pleased with the beautiful scenery between this place and Long Beach, where my journey came to an end. Grace was overjoyed to see me and welcomed me to her home in the suberbs of this city, where she was conducting a small chicken farm. We have decided to make our home here together and expect to live happily as retired teachers with no crying children and male characters to boss us around. Nevertheless we hope to meet our schoolmates as I met them before and yet again I have a strange feeling that I would like to see the boy we used to call Blondy, and a faint idea that I will return to Port Orford and help polish agates ever after in the largest jewelry store in the west. And, Oh yes! Last night when everything was still, Grace, being in a reflective mood, confidentially told me that she had a longing for old Coos County and that she was thinking very seriously of returning in the near future to help manage one of the largest drug stores of the county situated in the now prosperous city of Powers.

Class History Twenty-eight Freshmen entered the High School in September, 1912. We were an enthusiastic class who soon entered into all the activities of the school. Green, perhaps we were, but we managed to hold our own. One of our members joined the debating club and debated with Marshfield, winning the contest with an unamious vote in favor of Myrtle Point. Our class had the editing of all the school notes, which reminds me that our class started and adopted the plan of having High School notes. A first and second prize was given to all high school pupils having the best herberium. These prizes to two members of our Freshmen class. As Sophomores two of our members entered the Oratorical contest and as Chester won in the trypout he was a delegate to Bandon. Another member won his fame as debator. Other members joined the Industrial Club work, sending work to the County Fair competing with other High School pupils in the county. A trip to the State Fair was awarded to the girl having the best general exhibit and this was won by one of our girls. We are now “Jolly Juniors,” and our ability of alto and soprano voices is shown by the splendid work of the girl’s quartette. Others show their ability as orators, actors and FOURTEEN T II K « II l� II K U S actresses. We are fortunate enough to have one of our members for school pianist. Junior Officers President ....

Class History On the 21st of September, 1913, the upper classmen having registered early were startled to see, on looking out the windows of the assembly, a long, long line of Freshmen marching into high school. No wonder they were startled and full of wonder and fear, for this class was the largest in the high school. Now we don’t blame the rest of the classes for feeling a bit overwhelmed (from which they have never fully recovered) for these same Freshmen proved to them both last year and this that they were capable, both individually and collectively of doing great things. At the first class meeting we elected our tall, stalwart Everett Hayes, president, and to assist him Elton Spires, vice-president. In order to keep the important record of the class SIXTEEN T II K O IS I II K LI S doings and financial conditions Lois Johnson was selected secretary and treasurer. Now it isn’t our fault that Lois met Grover and that he walked up to school with her last year and finally enticed her to leave this “good bunch” and reside with him on the hill. No, Sir! It wasn’t! Lois set a bad example, too, for in a little while our ranks became thinner and thinner. After Lois, Fay left us, after Fay, Freda Leep-ed into matrimony. We don’t know about the rest but we have our “doubts.” Well, in spite of all this, we made an envious record for ourselves in class work and various H. S. activities. Helen Whitaker, although a Freshman, was chosen to represent the H. S. in Oratory at Bandon, which she did exceedingly well. In track, Chester Root proved to be one of our speediest men and in Dramatics why in dramatics we made quite a hit. For Elton and Flentge and Olas all took and carried well their parts in the Senior Play. Under the direction of Miss Lucia Campbell, “The Lady of the Lake,” was dramatized. (We like to do things for Miss Campbell.) Besides all this we could mention a few frivolous things like some parties we’ve had, but in order to tell you all about our second year we’ll have to economize on the space allowed us. Although several of our members dropped out we still have proven ourselves large in number and ability. Floyd, the dignified, was elected Student Body President and Lila was to see that we got a “square deal” in the council. During the first month of school this year the Student Body decided to choose the members of the faculty as associate members and the Sophomores again showed their wisdom in quickly choosing for their champion Miss Scaiefe. Now the next thing of importance, the next two things I might say, really were to conceive and carry out the idea of editing the High School Buzz. We hope to be able to continue this publication till we graduate. The Sophomores are proud of it and claim it for their own. The other important affair was the class programme given in the assembly January 29th. The Basket Ball Team was ably supported by four of our members, Elton and Floyd on the first team and Verl and Flentge on the second. We are proud of the record made by them and of the victories they helped to win. In all activities of the school the Sophomores have a record of which they may be proud.

Class History In that delightful month of February, 1914, after the horrible grammar school exams were over and we were all very pale our class entered this large and imposing building as midyear freshmen. Our staunch hearts were not daunted as we were assailed on every side with jeers, laughs, jokes and envy by the other classmen. We were made the butt of every joke and used as fags for the rest of that horrid, nerve-racking year. In September, 1915, we entered upon our duties with light and happy hearts as full-fledged freshmen. But, horror of horrors! the higher classmen had not yet finished initiating us into their delightful high school. Our first class party was broken up in a most scandalous way. Still we were not daunted, and when the green ribbons and neckties were presented to us, we refused to wear them. By unanamous vote Hazel Wade was elected president. Our other officers were elected and we chose for our colors EIGHTEEN T H I O |{ 1 II ■«: II H “black and gold.” The freshmen felt very proud when the student body elected Hazel Wade secretary. The remainder of the year passed in peace, broken by occasional class riots. We reveled in many delightful picnics and parties. As a class we are going to make good. The trials and temptations we passed safely through and the lessons we learned as freshmen will never be forgotten. Our motto and fervent prayer is “God bless the Freshmen.” Class Officers Hazel Wade ------ President Hazel Lee -� Vice-President Nola De Armond - Secretary-Treasurer Elva Greene - Councilman Freshmen’s Ambition Marie Chabo—to be a dress-maker.

TWENTY ATHLETICS Owing to the comparative smallness of the Myrtle Point High School and the lack of the services of an athletic instructor it has been under the greatest difficulties that we have been able to compete in athletics with the neighboring schools. Despite our puny proportions we have at times made a very creditable showing in football and have a record in basket ball of which any one might well be proud. Basket ball was first introduced into Coos County in the winter of 1908-09. M. P. H. S. won the championship that season with seven games won, one tied and one lost. The tied game and the lost game were both with Coquille. During the next season, practically the same team played eight hard-fought games and finished with as many victories. In 1910-11, by losing but one game, M. P. H. S. tied with Bandon for championship honors and were demanded to play off the tie. Arrangements were made for the open air game at Coquille. M. P. H. S. cinched the championship by winning a decisive victory to the tune of 21 to 1. TWENTY-ONE 1914-1915 Basket Ball Team Standing left to right Floyd Wimberly, Chester Adams, Harry Miller, John Hall, Elton Spires, Seated— Ervin Barklow Mgr., Roy Spires Captain. By winning a second undefeated championship in 1912, M. P. H. S. established a record that is likely to stand many years; the loss of but one game in three years out of twenty-five. Much credit for these four championships is due to the Coach Brown. Basket ball is a blank page in the 1913 history of our school. This, however, may be attributed to the lack of a court to play in and not of any deficiency in material for a winning team as was the opinion of our erst-while defeated rivals. 1914 saw only a mediocre basket ball team don the M. P. H. S. suits. During the season the red and blue fell at least once before every team in the circuit, but to finish the season right, she defeated North Bend, otherwise the undefeated. Thus she defended her honor as having the only undefeated championship in the history of Coos County basket ball. From start to finish the 1914-15 season was an uphill pull for Myrtle Point High School. The outlook for a winning team the early part of the year was altogether unfavorable, there being only three players with any previous experience and very little of it at that. Then there was only a squad of seven to choose TWENTY-TWO T II K O 1C P II K V H f rom, but with the help of some of the local boys of the town, those seven players were pounded into a team that made a surprisingly creditably showing and taking second place at the end of the basket ball season. Standing of the Teams Marshfield won 6 lost 2 Myrtle Point 5 3 Bandon 4 4 Coquille 4 4 North Bend 1 7 Track This year’s outlook for a track team, from outward appearance. having two veterans and point winners of last year, Harry Miller and Roy Spires, and some promising new blood, is very fair. Harry Miller is practically a sure thing for the weights and Spires should be in better fettle that ever for the hurdles. Then with the Spires brothers, John Hall, Chester Root, Harry Miller, Cub Adams and a few new ones to fill in, we are going to have a track team that will be among the winners, and we are all eager for than place to be FIRST. Floyd Wimberly, who was expected to be a point winner, is leaving for California. 1914 Team Standing Marshfield Myrtle Point Coquille Bandon North Bend 523 points. 25 points. 15 points.

The Grammar School The Grammar School of Myrtle Point began the Fall term in the new building. The building is modem in every way, having electric lights and steam heated. There are eight teachers, and about three hundred and fifty pupils enrolled. TWENTY-FIVE PUBLICATIONS Buzz A little paper published each month by the Sophomore class. Emma Guerin, editor, and Floyd Wimberly, manager. School Notes Items of school affairs which appeared in the Enterprise each week. Editor, Josephine Hayes. Assistants, Grayce Krantz and Goldie Michaels. Entertainments The different classes entertain at assembly hour once each month. The Seniors were the first to give their program and all who attended pronounced it excellent. The Junior and Sophomore entertainments showed much originality and fun. The Freshmen have not entertained as yet. The Senior and Junior classes are preparing to give a party in the near future. The Senior class presented the California colored jubilee quartet at the Unique Theatre, March 29-30. Social Affairs The school social affairs of the year were not very elaborate. The Sophomore class gave a candy pulling party at the home of one of the class students. The time was spent in music and story telling. During the first semester the Freshies decided to give a feed at the home of Hazel Lee and have a good time; but while they were battling with an army of enemies in the front yard, which consisted of the members of the other classes, another bunch entered the rear of the house and stole their sweets. The Seniors and Juniors combined forces and gave a party in Lundy’s hall. A group of girls entertained the basket ball boys at the home of a Junior girl. At a later hour refreshments were served. TWENTY-SIX CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS The Student Body Just what the name implies. Every Student interested in the desire for a “better High School.” 1st semester. 2nd semester Floyd Wimberly, Pres.

The Pierian Debating Club The Pierian Debating Club is the first literary society of any kind to be organized in our High School. It was organized under the leadership of Miss DeVore who is also an active member of the society. The mame Pierian means Spring of Knowledge, and this is what we are all striving to find. It is our sincere desire that this club may be permanently organized in our High School. The Dianas The Dianas was organized amomg the girls of the High School under the leadership of Miss Scaiefe. Its chief object is to promote the general health and welfare of the High School girls. Special advice is given on proper eating and clothing, the required amount of sleep and correct exercise. In fact the correct living and general hygiene of young High School girls that they may become healthy, attractive and robust women. Their principal exercise is “hiking”.

Little Willie was such a pessimist that he was convinced that if only one school teacher should be able to get back from Europe it would be his teacher. Abbie—I’m very careful about my make-up. Zella—Quite right, dear, you want to look the part even if you can’t play it. Boy: Miss Jones, you are very beautiful. Lady: Thank you, Bobby. Boy: Oh, that’s all right! Us boy scouts have to do one kind act every day. Barton, having won a star for learning the 23rd psalm, told his mother about it. The next day his little sister asked her mother for a star if she would learn the poem about the goose. The curious mother asked the boy what she meant. He said, “Oh she means the ducksology.” (doxology) The Sophomore class is thinking of taking up a collection to buy some cough syrup for Nola’s Bark. Senior—“I must go and dress for Gym.” Elva—“Who in thunder is he?” Miss DeVore (Sophomore English) —“What do we get out of this course that’s worth while?” Elton- “One credit.” TWENTY-EIGHT High School Band CHIS band is composed of students of the high school and grammar school, and it is the only musical organization of the high school. It contains eighteen pieces and is under the instruction of Professor Davidson. THE following pages contain the advertisments of loyal friends of our high school. They have helped us greatly in creating whatever merit our annual may possess, and such support should be appreciated by members of our school. It should be our endeavor to make that appreciation in patronage, therefore the Orpheus staff wishes every friend of the high school to consider the advertisers favorably. Listen people, if you do not look through the ads f you will miss a lot of good hearty laughs.

There are things you can see in the wealthier town That you can’t in a town that is small— And yet, up or down, There is no other town Like your own little town, after all. It is here by the stile in our Myrtle Point town Father courted your mother, a maid; It was here in the vale in our Myrtle Point town That he built her a home in the shade. It was here on the hill in our Myrtle Point town That the school and the book you recall— Ev’ry step of the way; So your memories say, It’s your own little town, after all. For it isn’t by money you measure a town, Or the miles that its border extends; For the best things you gather, whatever the town, Are contentment, and enjoyment, and friends. If you live and you work and you stay in your town In spite of the fact it is small, You’ll find that the town, That our own Myrtle Point town, Is the best little town after all. — With apologies to Douglas Malloch. TRAIN FOR LEADERSHIP HERE IN OREGON -if OUR years at the University of Oregon will equip you to enjoy life as well as to succeed. The State University welcomes you for earnest, honest work. It gives you the opportunity to make a thousand friends, who will be leaders in Oregon’s business and professions, during your active life. The man or woman who goes out of Oregon to college forfeits this advantage. Ask Mr. Wimberly to fill out your application for freshman standing and send it to A. R.
