Page Eight CLASS HISTORY It seems as though it were only yesterday that we were Freshmen. Freshmen! Just think of it. We had graduated out of the eighth grade and now we were Freshmen. Our Class numbered twenty-three. On entering high school we were somewhat timid, as usually Freshmen are, but we were not long in becoming accustomed to our new environment and getting acquainted with our fellow students and faculty. Summer vacation followed and then in September school started again. We all congratulated ourselves on getting thru the Freshman year successfully. Now we were Sophomores, and along with our school studies, to which we d'd justice, it was our turn to entertain the Freshmen, which we surely d d. Only we were not as rough on them, because wre remembered how we were initiated. We also set them a good example by working hard and studying diligently. We gave class parties and went on picnics. One of the most important events of the vear was the picnic we had at the close of the school, to which we invited the faculty. All of us went in cars up to the Warner grove, where the picnic was held. Another important event of the year was our Hallowe’en party we gave in an old haunted house. Our third year of High school, as Juniors, was a very industrious one. We studied harder than we had ever studied before. Our class had diminished considerable because some of the pupils had moved to other places. We remembered the Freshman class that came into High school that year ard, as usual, they were given a party. This year our class gave a masked Hallowe’en party at the home of Vada Davis. On April 1st we took the Senior class on an April Fool picnic just above Broadbent. It certainly was an April Fool’s picnic but anyway we all enjoyed it very much. We, the Juniors gave the Seniors a “Progressive Dinner” banquet. They gave us a return banquet at the confectionery. Page Nine Our class also decorated the theatre for the Commencement exercises. Now we are Seniors. This year our annual Hallowe’en party was given at Parker’s to initiate a new bam. We all had a very nice time. As I said before, now we are Seniors and our class has been sifted down until there are only ten of us left; Claudia Parker, Rowena Hermann, Milton Luttrell, Vada Davis, Odis Beckham, Verla Johnston, Beatrice Beckham, Raleigh Greene, Kathryn Warner, Emily McLeod. Thanks to our teachers, who have helped us through all our difficulties, we have finished our hard work through High school and are now ready for the next higher step in learning. ---------:o:--------- CLASS WILL Friends and parents, gathered here to witness our departure from this sphere of life, we appoint you as executors of this, our last will and testament, assured that you will see that it is properly carried out. Four long years, we, the Seniors of the Myrtle Point High School have journeyed the rocky paths of knowledge, accumulating goods. During the last four and a half months the class of 1922, considering that it would be wrong to pass into the great hereafter without enriching some of our friends, have appointed me, Rowena Hermann, to make this will. Be it remembered that we, the class of 1922, having at this time full control of all our mental powers, do make this our last will and testament, revoking and annuling all other wills heretofore made by us either by word or in writing. We also order and direct that it is our wish and intention that t'he following articles should be the property of the said classes, to be used by them as they see fit. To the Faculty, as a whole, we leave our best wishes and sincere thanks for their earnest efforts in our behalf. To the gay-hearted Juniors, first we bequeath the old, yet nevertheless precious heirlooms which have been handed down to the incoming Seniors, the seats in the last two rows on the left hand side. Our only request is that they may have as good care as was given by the Class of 1922. Psfe Ten Second: We leave the task of setting a good example for the younger pupils. This means that you must act a little better than they. While not a hard task for us, we realize that it can prove to be one for our younger followers, the class of 1923. Third: We relinquish all Senior privileges. Now, if the younger pupils attempt to deprive you wrongly of them, speak to your principal: he will tell them that the Seniors come first. To the Sophomoress we leave nothing but our best wishes and thanks, for it is plainly seen that if you keep on doing as you have done for the past two years, this class will rise to illustrious fame, similar to that of Julius Caesar, Pauoleon or the Duke of Wellington. To the Freshmen we will our perseverance. As a token of friendship and remembrance we will the following to the persons named: I, Vada Davis, will my position as school pianist to Elsie Moller. I, Verla Johnston, will my dramatic qualities to Oliver Horn. I, Claudia Parker, will my attitude toward young men to Alice Young. I, Milton Luttrell, will my dignity to Lois Still. I, Beatrice Beckham, will to some needy freshman a part of my knowledge. I, Rowena Hermann, will my hard working qualities to Merwin Moller. I, Raleigh Greene, will my ability to graduate in six years to Barton Stemmier. I, Emily McLeod, will my sunny disposition to Clayton Mast. I, Odis Beckham, will to someone that can acquire it, my knowledge of French. I, Kathryn Warner, will my ratless coiffeur to Bessie Young. To the school and other classmates, we leave the credit of one of the most happy and creditable school years that it has been our privilege to spend. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the class of 1922, and we do solemnly declare that we published and executed the will by witnesses thereof. We hereunto set our hands and seal this twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord 1922. Signed, Class of TWENTY-TWO. Witnesses: Claire Keltner, Marguerite Laird, Crawford Annin. Page Eleven CLASS PROPHESY Early this morning while walking in the woods, looking for wild flowers, I met a beautiful stranger. She was dressed in a costume of ancient date; Her hair was gathered into a knot and confined by a golden fillet, and she walked along with a gliding wiovement like unto a dove skimming along on motionless wings just above the surface of the ground. Although her whole being seemed pervaded by some divine influence, yet she looked upon me kindly and I ventured to address her. After a short and interesting conversation, in which she told me she was a descendant of a famous sibyl, she said she would grant me any favor that I might ask, so I at once revealed to her the perplexity into which I had fallen when my classmates selected me to be their prophetess, and entreated her aid in reading for them the book of fate. For a few moments she stood in silence. Then looking suddenly up with a new light on her face she gathered some large oak leaves and seated herself underneath the spreading branches of an oak. She then read from them the prophecies which I repeat to you. Although the events which the leaves recorded are yet ten years in the future the lady seemed to regard them as if they had already happened. “I first see Kathryn,” she said, “engaged in teaching music in her home neighborhood, but thinking to better herself she went to Boston and studied five years at the conservatory. At present she is the leading instructor in that institution and much devoted to her art. “Claudia having finished her course at 0. A. C. went to Europe to study more thoroughly. She visited all of the historical places there and also climbed the Alps. She is particularly interested in the countries of Norway and Sweden, as when she was there she could study as long as she liked, not being interrupted by nightfall. Then she returned to the home of her ancestors, Ireland, where she is now becoming an acknowledged leader in the Woman’s Rights movement. No woman has done as much for the cause as she. Page Twelve “After eight years of practically ceaseless toil and worry Milton’s efforts were rewarded. He is fast becoming famous for his marvelous invention. It is a small machine which enables students to learn and to remember their lessons. The next generation will be much more intellectual and Milton’s name will go down in history beside that of Thomas Edison. “Emily is now in St. Louis where she has a large milliner and dressmaking parlors. She gets nearly all the trade for mil-lint ry. although she charges not less than ten dollars for every hat she trims. Her many artistic and elegant gowns are even sent to Paris for sale.’’ At this point my curiosity got the best of me for I wondered if jovial Emily was st;ll single ar.d lavishing all that she earned upon herself, or if she was surrounded by a happy fireside. As I spoke the sibyl raised her forefinger with a slight Town, so I dared not finish my question, and Emily’s domestic life was still unknown. Then the lady turning to me said, “You will become, by your own efforts, a leader in social reform, and a benefit and uplift to the whole nation.” “Vrda is now in San Fmcisco plaving the accompaniment for Mary Carden. She has traveled all over the United States rnd s contemplating a tour to Spain with the company. Her wealth is so vast that she is thinking of making a contribution to the school district of Myrtle Point for a new High school building.” “Beatrice, after two years of school teaching, went to New' York where she soon became the reigning belle in society. She married one of New York’s promising young men and is now living in California, on a magnificent estate which was given to them by the groom’s father. “Raleigh finally dec’ded that his talents lay in the surveying line, so after diligent study he received a government position and is now one of the best surveyors in the country. At his odd hours he trains a large and enthusiastic class of boys in this work. “Verla was undecided what to do but finally after much training she went to India where she is now teaching the poor heathen the gospel. When her thoughts turn to her success she breathes a thankful prayer to her efficient teacher’s training teacher of 1922. Page Thirteen “After finishing High school, Odis went to 0. A. C. and took a course in Forestry. He now has control over all the forests this side of the Cascades and has earned the reputation of being the best and most efficient fire patrol man in the United States. At first he lived in a tent and moved about from place to place, his only companion was his faithful Collie, but now he has decided to lead a more domesticated life and is constructing a cozy little bungalow in the very heart of solitude, as he is in love with the free, open air life.” Having thus spoken the lady dropped the leaves, and, with a smile vanished from my sight. As I earnestly gazed at the place where she had disappeaied, that I might catch a glimpse of her retreating form,a voice floated back to me upon the breeze, saying these w’ords: “They have built for character not for fame.” ---------:o:--------- Page Fourteen THE JUNIORS When you need a real good friend That will aid and comprehend Find a Junior. Wh n your lessons all go wrong. And your longing for a song Hail a Junior. Some are dark; some are fair, Some have straight, some curly hair— Just a Junior. Nothing ever misses us, If something did we’d make a fuss, Like a Junior. Something burst upon the air— Sounds like voices without care. Must be Juniors. If you’ve lost your grit and pluck, Sort of feel you’re out of luck, Meet us Juniors. We’ll soon be Seniors, too, Full of pep and wisdom true— Exit Juniors. Page Fifteen Poetess ESTELLA.

Purple and Gold In the fall of ’19 the students of the Grammar school of Myrtle Point entered the portals of Myrtle Point High School with quaking limbs and timorous glances. Rooms were assigned on the second floor where we might have seats. At this time quite a number of us became acquainted with a small room at the rear known as “the office.” Our first step was to elect Elton Corbin to captain our class through this year. To th:s period of our history when we were known as “Freshies,” belong the record of many embarrassing incidents. But this is not to recall painful recollections, especially since there were so many pleasing ones. A great honor was bestowed upon our class when Earl Smith won the Oratorical Cup. Our class was well represented in both basket ball and foot ball. Our Sophomore year was as delightful but not so eventful. The class was represented in athletics. We elected Elton Corbin as president of our class, as he prdved himself such a capable leader the previous year. This year as Juniors we have the second largest class in school. The Juniors are not only interested in athletics but are also interested in the art of debating. Eula Mayse and Claire Kelt-ner were our representatives for the county debates. Two weeks before graduation wre gave the Seniors a banquet. We hated to lose them but were anxious to take their place.

Shortly after that eventful day, this peppy class held their first meeting and elected the following officers; Itha Clinton, president, Elmer Gant, secretary and treasurer, and Giles Harris, sergeant-at-arms. As this was such an extraordinarily brilliant class, the three upper classes gave a party in our honor when we were initiated into the rites of High school. As Freshmen we were well represented in both boys and girls athletics and also in all other High school activities. By mid-year the fame of our class was so widely spread that three of the Grammar school boys decided to come over to join us. The last semester of our Freshman life was quite uneventful with the exception of the famous walk out in which the majority of the class took part. At the close of school we decided to come back the next year as Sophs which we did. There were a few missing faces and a few new ones but for the most part we were all back again to see what we could accomplish as Sophomores. As we looked around the class rooms we saw the Freshmen. How green and shy they looked! We would certainly have fun there! So we began our second year of High school life by joining the Juniors and Seniors in giving an initiation party for the freshmen. Shortly after the beginning of school we held our class election, and elected our officers. Our president, Elton Corbin, was also elected student body manager which plainly shows what business ability the Sophs possess. This year we were even better represented in athletics. Elton Corbin and Elmer Gant received football letters. Elmer Gant also won a letter in basketball. In girls basket ball Marjie Mc-Cullock and Itha Clinton w’on letters.

FRESHMAN HISTORY The Freshmen comprise more than one-third of the Student Body. The mid-year Freshies make up about a third of our class. At our first class meeting we elected Clayton Mast as president, Alice Young, vice-president and Ellis Gant secretary and treasurer. Some five weeks after school started the upper classmen invited us to an initiation party. The party was enjoyed by us Freshies who were slightly initiated. From the Freshman class Roland Weekly and Clayton Mast received foot ball letters. They also m:de the team in basket ball. Those going out for Lack are Verdie Smith, Wayne Carver, Oliver Horn, Byron Hervey, Clayton Mast, Donald Lakey, Bryce Nosier, Sam Greene and Ovid Hervey. More than half of the members of the girls basket ball team were freshmen, Alice Young, Agnes Deyoe and Margaret Corbin deserves special mention as players. It is not our policy to dwell long on the past but we look forward to a future which will bring fame rather than discredit to our Old Myrtle High. --------:o:--------- FRESHMAN CLASS Tommie Forrest, Fayama � Arant, Ellis Gant, Dan!

Much credit is due our Business Manager, Elton Corbin, for the efficient and business like manner with which he has handled the financial affairs of the school. Bud Hagerty, our sergeant-at-arms, was not kept very busy because of the peaceful nature of our students.

Bud Haggerty ” ” Eula Mayse ” ” Ellis Gant The work of these societies is to furnish a program for the student body and the patrons of the school, alternately every two weeks. These programs are of a miscellaneous nature, combining reading, dialogues, short plays, musical selections, both instrumental and vocal, current events, and school news. The mixed quartet and school orchestra have furnished some of the best numbers. Page Twenty-four According to the custom the usual initiation and get acquainted party was given the Freshmen during the first month of school by the upper classmen, at which they were initiated into High school life and also embarrrssed as much as possible. Later in the evening to atone for the ill-treatment they received they were fed on all kinds of “goodies” and sent home tired but some what comforted with the thought that they had broken the ice. During the foot-ball season several banquets and parties were given in honor of the foot-ball team. The first was a party given on Hallowe’en evening by Earl Smith at his home. The evening was spent in many interesting games and pastimes, chiefly eating, singing, and playing pool. On this same evening a Senior class party, including the faculty, was given at the home of Claudia Parker. After a jolly evening had been spent appropriate and delicious refreshments were served. This class has held Hallowe’en parties on the three preceding years and as this was their last one, they felt the solemness of the evening but thoroughly enjoyed themselves. On the evening of November 25th, after the football game with Coquille the teams were given a real Thanksgiving feed by a crowd of girls from the Coquille and Myrtle Point High schools. The splendid entertainment afforded them was made possible by the liberal donations received from the business men of Myrtle Point. After the girls’ basket ball team returned victorious from Bandon they were given a dinner by Mr. S. Breuer and his daughter. As a result the girls broke all rules of training, health, and ettiquette, went “to the loose,” and had a splendid time. A dinner was given the Annual Staff Thursday, April 27th, at the home of the editor. COMMENCEMENT WEEK PROGRAM Senior Play ....................... Unique Theatre, April 18th.

Marguerite Laird was on one of the debating teams which represented our school in the county debates. Ora Carter represented Myrtle Point in the county declamation contest. We also had members in the Glee Club. Our class was the first in High school to win a quarter holiday, which we earned by having twenty perfect days attendance and an average of higher grades than the other three classes. To celebrate this quarter holiday we went on a picnic with our class advisor, Mr. Linn. As our Sophomore year draws near the close we feel that each and everyone of us has tried his best to make the High school proud of such a class and we are determined to return next year as the best class of Juniors that Myrtle Point High has ever known. Page Twenty-seven HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL One of the important events of the year 1922 was the carnival. given in the public school building on Saturday night, April 29th. The building was brilliantly lighted and elaborately decorated, giving it a very gay and hilarious appearance. Important features of the evening were the Hawaiians, from their native homes, and “Negro Minstrels” just from Dixie land. Their entertainment was especially interesting. The pretty “danc;ng girls,” from gay Paree, in their fancy costumes also afforded much entertainment for the audience. We presume you all heard about the new “wild man” who, with a “monstrous lion,” had been previously captured in Borneo. Oh! “The Chamber of Horrors.” Our knees began to feel weak and our flesh to creep. We rushed from the room with our hair standing straight up. The “Rogues’ Gallery,” at which a startling exposure of some of Myrtle Point’s prominent citizens was made, was interesting. The “Chorus Girls” just from Broadway, with their singing and dancing and pretty costumes, were very attractive. Real Gypsies, just think! By crossing their palms with silver they would disclose one’s past, present, and future. Circus clowns were everywhere to add amusement to the evening. Lemonade, cake, sandwiches and home made candy were sold at various lunch counters in the building. This Carnival was a big success and the first of its kind to be given by the High school. The funds received helped to make the publication of this annual possible. Page Twenty-eight DEBATE The first step taken towaids the debate work was the preliminary debates given by the English classes. From these debaters, six were chosen to enter the try-out from wh;ch would be selected Myrtle Point’s representatives in the county contest to be held the n:ght of February 10. From the try-out debat? Marguerite Laird and Vada Davis were to comprise the affirmative team, while Claire Keltner and Odis Beckham, with Ora Carter, as a substitute, were the ones chosen on the negative team. These students entered the work with much enthusiasm and under the never-failing efforts of our coach, Mr. Linn, made much head-way. Our affirmative team met North Bend and, although they did not win the decision of the judges, they brought honor to our High school. Our negative team was sent to Bandon and, of course, they brought home the honors. A rather unusual occurence was the fact that every negative team in the county won, so the debates must of necessity be repeated the following week. (Continued on Page Thirty-nine) Page Thirty DECLAMATION AND ORATORICAL CONTESTS There was an unusually large number of contestants to turn out for the Declamation and Oratorical contests. At the final try-out held April 10th, in the Presbyterian church, Ora Carter was chosen to represent Myrtle Point in the county Declamatory contest and Fred McMullen was chosen as the representative in the Oratorical contest. All of these contestants did exceptionally well and it was, indeed, hard for the judges to render their decision. The following is the program of the county contest held at Coquille on the night of April 21st: Speakers and Subjects Declamations. “The Boy orator of Zepata City”— Ruth Corey of Marshfield. “The Polish Boy”— Leora Waterman of Bandon. “Bernardo del Car-pio”— Virgie Hansen of Bridge. “The English Buccaneer” — Charlotte McMullen of North Bend. “King Robert of Sicily”— Ora Carter of Myrtle Point. “The Soldier’s Reprieve”—Teresa Clinton of Coquille. Orations “Toussaint L’Ouverture”—William McArthur of Marshfield. “Spartacus to the Gladiators”—Emery La Tour-rette cf Bandon. “The New South”—Trygve Kjelfand of North Bend. “Eulogy of Wendell Phillips”— Frederick McMullen of Myrtle Point. “Selections from Curtis’ Oration at Concord”— Erroll Sloan of Coquille. Page Thirty-one FOOTBALL The football fans have, this year, witnessed the closest and most interesting games that have been played by this school. Under the able coaching of Mr. Spiess, the team started practice full of enthusiasm and pep. After witnessing the first few games, one could easily judge, that the determination of our team was to make the “winners” earn their position by hard fighting. Perhaps the most interesting game of the season was the one played with Marshfield in which the Bay team was backed up against their own goal line the greater part of the time. In the third quarter Beckham, after a spectacular run, carried the ball over the line for what appeared the winning touch down. But the referee called him back, declaring the runner had stepped out of bounds. A special feature of the Thanksgiving game played with Coquille here, was the work of our second team. A complete second string was used in two quarters of the game. The sec ond string made more yardage from scrimmage than Coquille, but allowed the visitors to score a touch down through a completed forward pass on the last play. The line-up was as follows: L. T., Weekly; L. G., Culbertson; Center, Carter; R. G., Barklow; R. T., Greene; R. E., Schroeder; Q. B., Gant; R. H. Hazelwood; L. H., Beckham; F. B., Captain Keltner. The left end position was closely contested, Corbin, Mast and Shull playing the position at various times. Haggerty played Center and Smith left half in the first game, sickness and injuries keeping them out of the rest of the games. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Oct. 8 North Bend 7 M. P. 0 Oct. 22 Bandon 0 M.

We opened the season on the home floor, playing the old grads December 23rd, and went down to a 24 to 11 defeat. We wiped out the memory of that, however, by treating our next opponent, Arago High school, to a 33 to 8 defeat. Coquille sprung a surprise on us by winning from our team 15 to 12 on January 13th. A week later, re-enforced by new players, we handed North Bend the first defeat she had suffered on her home floor for years, 23 to 18. The next night our team seemed “off color” and lost to Marshfield 31 to 18. An easy victory over Norway was next, but inability to locate the basket caused us to lose the return game with Marshfield with a score of 19 to 17. An excursion to Bandon resulted in a 23 to 17 victory. The next week found most of the team down with the “flu,” so Coquille defeated us 27 to 20. In the final game of the season Bandon received a 21 to 12 defeat. Elmer Gant ......................................... Forward. Ellis Shull .........................................

Page Thirty-four GIRLS’ BASKET BALL Our second se;son of the girls’ basket ball started with not one of the original first team tack to participate. Mr. C'aude Nosier was selected as coich and deserves special mention as he worked up a team which rivaled the champions of the county. The first game of the season was with Arago on our home foor. Myrtle Po nt came out victorious with a score of 10 to 6. A we:k latrr we met Coquille, ar.d a’so dzfeated them; the final score left Myrtle Point in the lead by six points. At North Bend we met our Waterloo with a score of 16 to 10. The return game resulted in a tie, but North Ber.d mad 2 the first basket afterward, thus defeating us 17 to 15. In the Bandon game the largest score was made of any of the games during the season and Myl tic Point went over the top 26 to 23. As several of the regular players were ill and unable to play in the game with Bandon we lost by a few points. On Coquille’s floor we again carried the honors. Two of the girls deserve special mention as they were placed on the All Star Coos County Team. They were Alice Young—high score forward in all the games—and Agnes Deyoe who out jumped any of the other girls of the county as center. Nearly all of the players expect to return next year and help Myrtle Point gain the championship of Coos. (Continued on Page Forty-one) Page Thiry-five TRACK Weather conditions in and about Myrtle Point has caused material delay in proceeding with any early training tactics this year but while weather conditions permit, the boys try their muscles and diligently go through their limbering-up exercises. By the time the County Meet is run Mr. Strahl, the coach, contemplates having his aspirants in perfect trirtf, so that M. P. H. S. will be well represented when the final markers are totaled. Kenneth Cutler and Errol Knight will make a good account for themselves on the track, as will Clare Keltner, Earl Smith, Fred McMullen, Claud Brown, Oliver Horn, Ovid Hervey, Verdie Smith, Clarmont Hanavolt, George Hall, Wayne Carver, Donald Lakey and Clarence. Carter. The field events will be well taken care of by Bud Hagerty, Tom Culbertson, Arval Hazelwood, Elton Schroeder, Ervin Greene, Clayton Mast, Elmer Gant and a world of material undeveloped at the time this book goes to press. -------:o:-------- ANNUAL STAFF Eula Mayse Flossie Knight Claire Keltner Odis Beckham Elmer Gant ... ...

The defeat at North Bend came as a complete surprise. Page Thirty-nine THE PAPER THAT “CALLS A SPADE A SPADE”— THE AMERICAN Myrtle Point, Ore.

The Junior girls have used enough powder since September to supply the army of San Marino. If credit were given for joy-riding, Shorty and Emily would have been ready for their diplomas on Nov. 29. If the Seniors could be purchased Commencement day for their real value and sold according to the way they felt, the net profit would be about $17,000,000. If Kenneth Cutler were as noisy in a dark room as he is at school, the racket might possibly disturb a mouse. If Errol had been paid for over time every time he stayed after school, he would now be the richest man in Myrtle Point. If all the time Mr. Linn spent reading letters in the postoffice were added together, it would total 248 hours, 37 minutes. If the energy which Tootsie spends running around the schoolhouse could be expended at one time, it would be enough to raise the schoolhouse one foot. Merchant’s Cafe FRANK SMALLWOOD, Prop.

Volley ball has proved a very popular sport with the High school boys. They learned the game in physical training, and liked it so well they got up an inter-class series to determine the school championship. The Juniors challenged the remainder of the school, but the proletariat humbled them 3 games to 2. After clearly demonstrating their superiority to the Freshman and Sophomore team? in subsequent games, they repeated the attempt, this time winning easily. --------:o:------- They were paddling along in a nook When she cried, “O, Algernon, look! “In that oak, I declare, I see mistletoe there!” And the crew fished them out with a hook. --------:o:------- Emma—“How did you break your banjo?” Scout—“Oh, busted a gut laffin.” Enith: “Oh, here is an original manuscript of some ancient language.” Miss Whitaker: “You are mistaken.
