Your rolling mountains and azure skies, Those laughing brooks that sing a song, As they dance and frolic the whole day long. 0 Coos of grandeur, a mystery Is hid ’neath the haze that clings to thee. Is there another so wild and grand As you, dear Coos, in all the land? Your little towns that nestle there, In valleys, fertile, green ard fair; Your winding streams that cool the breeze With bordered banks of myrtle trees. They tell of deserts wide and free Of parched sands with ne’er a tree, But your wooded mountains and sparkling streams Are a place of shadows and love and dreams. 0 paradise, my paradise! 1 ho!d you as the dearest prize, And those who long for the vast outside, Have ne’er your beauty and pleasure tried. —Estella Hart An Appreciation To our Parents: Who through their unfailing efforts and self-denial have made it possible for us to attend high school To our Faculty To the Business Men of Myrtle Point To the Patrons of the School Who have been so willing to give us their support and aid VJe dedicate this second edition of The Pointer CLASS OF ’23 The Senior class is in confusion, Look so peeved at an intrusion, Vanity has claimed them all They must plan each detail small. ’Tis a very delicate matter, All day long they laugh and chatter What to wear ard how to act— Everything’s discussed in fact. Banquet first, then Senior play, They are busy all the day, Though they’ve had their ups and downs In their class the champs are found. O, how happy each one seems, But when they graduate from dreams To face the world and the career, We hope they think of us still here. —Estella Hart. -------:o:------ CLASS OFFICERS President .................................

It is with pride but not without a little touch of sadness that we say this. Taking it all around our four years in high school have been very profitable ones and the “old bunch” has managed to have some good times. We can well say “old bunch” for, besides spending four years in high school, most of us learned our A B C’s together. It was the fall of ’19 that we entered M. P. H. S. as fresh-ies. How well we remember the awe with which we regarded everything. We could hardly realize that we were in high school. Of course the upper classmen teased us as upper classmen always do, and we resented it as freshies always do. It was then that we declared that we would make old M. P. H. S. proud of the Class of ’23, and that We’d Find a Path or Make One. Even as Freshmen we had representatives in Athletics, also in the Glee Club, and when Earl Smith won the Oratorical Cup we felt that we had already made a name for ourselves. In our Sophomore year we took an active part in all student affairs with members on the debate team as well as representatives in athletics. As Juniors we had six letter men in football, four in basket ball, two on the debate team, five on the council, and our school orator was a Junior. Last year the high school put out the first annual for several years and the Editor, Ass’t. Editor, and Business Manager were Juniors. And this, our last year, has been our crowing glory, so to speak. The Class of ’23 is the largest class that has even been graduated from M. P. H. S. All the student offices are held by Seniors and we have been foremost in representing the school in everything. We feel that we have kept our vow. May the ’23 the bovs painted on the be’fry never d;m. So goodbye dear old M. P. H. S. You will always be a bright spot in our memory. ----------:o:--------- P:� ge Eleven SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Class of ’23, the most intellectual and progressive class that M. P. H. S. has ever had the honor of graduating, being in our sound minds and feeling that the time is drawing near when we must leave our dear school and the scenes of our childhood forever, after four years of struggle in the battle for knowledge, and pass into the great world beyond, wishing to leave our dearest possessions to those whom we believe will most appreciate and use them in the search for enlightment, do ordain and declare this to be our last will and testament. To the faculty and to our parents we leave our sincere gratitude and thanks for their patience ard the help they were so willing to give over the haid places and when we were about discouraged. To Miss Whitaker, our class advisor, we leave the wish that she will not forget us. To the Juniors, we leave the ancient and honored row of seats near the window and the sole privilege of passing down the Senior Aisle—along with all other Senior rights and privileges; also the Senior Cane, hoping that it will help them to hobble through their Senior Year. To the Sophomores, we leave our stock of excuses and our good attendance record. To the Freshmen, we leave our good will and the wish that they follow in our footsteps and graduate with as much glory and honor as the Class of ’23. I, Ardyce Braden, will my ability to graduate without attend ng school to Elsie Moller. I, Clare Keltner, leave the office of Student Body President to the person of next highest ability. I, Crawford Annin, will my base voice and unruly locks to Pete Breuer. I, Bud Hagerty, will my knowledge of French to Kackam Knight. I Audrey Lundy, will my stud:ous qualities to my brother Carton. I, Launcelot Baker, will my desk with all its artistic decorations to some ambitious Junior. I. Scout Hazelwocd. will my ability to impersonate Harold Lloyd to Neil MacDonald. I, Myrtle Hall, will my rippling laugh to Verna McNair. I, Kenneth Cutler, will my earnestness and sincerity to some frivolous flapper. I. Mabel Lundy, will my spirit of good fellowship to Elizabeth Luttrell. Page Twelve I, Bill Nelson, will my knowledge of American history, and my ability to cut classes to Wayne Carver. I, Rosa Zumalt, will my simplicity to Bessie Young. I, Elton Schroeder, will the privilege of remaining an hour after school each evening to Donald Adams. I, Mabel Hall, will my ability to ask questions to Alice Guerin. I, Audra Wagner, leave the responsibility of seeing that my little brother goes right to anyone so kind as to take it upon his shoulders. I, Fred McMullen, will my optomistic temperament to any one taking geometry. I, Ellis Shull, will my mild sarcasm to Percy Barzee. I, Clarence Carter, will my argumentative powers and inclinations to William Ladd. I, Kenneth Peel, will my friendly grin to Harley Miller. I, Enith Culbertson, will my mop of bobbed hair to Clara Axe. I, Eula Mayse, will the active part and the interest I have taken in all high school affairs to Ora Carter. I, Flossie Knight, will my faithful alarm clock to Lois Still. We do set our hand and seal this twenty-second day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three. C. H. Giles A. G. Thompson Witnesses Signed Class of ’23 Recorded by E. A. Dodge. :o: Page Thirteen HOTEL RITZ NEW YORK New York City, June 10, 1930. My Dear Eula: I want to be one of the first to congratulate you upon your success. I knew you would be elected all the time though. Just think, my old school chum a United States Senator! It only seems such a short time ago that we were going to high school and climbing up in the belfry or racing down the street to avoid being late. If one stops to think about it all our old class have been pretty successful. I suppose you knew that Jack was married last month. She married a very wealthy and influential man. He gave her a lovely car for a wedding present. So I suppose they will be happy. Myrtle Hall is president of the First National Bank in Denver, isn’t she? She’s married now. She sent me a picture of her two kiddies last Christmas. I saw in the paper the other day that Scout was traveling with a troupe on the Orpheum Circuit, doing a special act. I rather expected him to become a radio operator. Fred McMullen owns one of the best Ladies Shops in Los Angeles. I buy many of my frocks there. Elton followed in his father’s foot steps, d:dn’t he? He really is one of the best Mayors that Portland has ever had and Audrey makes him such a swet wife. She is very well liked by everyone. Mabel Lundy is head nurse in Lane Hospital in San Francisco. You know she won quite a bit of publicity for her services in the late war staged by the Ku Klux Klan. So you say Rosa is married, how d d you find out? I always did say that she was deserving of the best and I guess she is happy in her beautiful home. Seems like all our old school mates are getting married. Remember the vow we made Page Fourteen one afternoon when we played hookey? Well, neither of us are married yet, and we must let each other know a year before hand, so I guess we’re safe for a year at least. In the WHO’S WHO IN AMERICA I saw Claire’s picture. He really hasn’t changed a bit. His speeches are the topics of interest in the newspapers now. He has already been classed with Bryan, Clay, and Webster, and he is still a young man. There is no doubt but what he will receive the nomination for president. Audra is going to join the American Relief Workers in the Near East. She has been teaching school for several years, hasn’t she? A new record that I ordered some time ago came today so I stopped writing to play it. It is “The Brain Storm” played by Baker’s Band. This is one of his own compositions. Mabel Hall has won quite a name for herself in the United States Secret Service. She always was of an inquisitive nature. Just the same she sure is making this old world a better place to live in. Kenneth Cutler has made it possible to produce the color effect in photographs and one gets the natural colors. He is n� w in the service of the National Geographical Survey. William Nelson is assistant editor of the Whiz Bang. It is becoming better literature all the time, due to his efforts. He has now won the worthy title of Captain Billy, Jr. Coal was discovered some time ago on the Culbertson homestead so Enith is now on easy street. Myrtle said she was planning to take a trip to Paris this fall. Upon my arrival in New York Clarence called on me at The Ritz. He certainly has been coining in the millions on Wall Street. Thanks to his careful study of Economics in High School he has become the shrewdest of brokers. Bud and Shorty have certainly been successful in speculations. They not only married their old childhood sweethearts but the oil wells which they invested in, shortly after school was out, have proved to be the richest in California. Page Fifteen In my last letter from Bill he mentioned that Peel was the professor of science in the Princeton University. This hardly surprised me because you know of his wonderful invention that came out last year, a three cylindar automatic angle trisector. I heard from Crawford the other day. He sent me a radiogram from the battleship New York, where he is operator, You know he attended Radio schools several years after finishing Hi. I want you to be sure and see my latest French photo play, Mile, de Barlideu, of which Mr. Linn is the author. You know we have been taking scenes in France. I’ve worked harder on this than I have since I attended the old Myrtle Point High School. I believe this play will make a better hit in America than any I have appeared in. Now I’m ready for my vacation, which I have planned to spend in Alaska. If you hadn’t taken office when you did we would have gone together. Write to me soon and be sure to send me any additional information you might have on the old bunch. Affectionately, Flossie Belle. :o: Page Sixteen THE STAIRS OF SUCCESS So for a subject had I sought, That my sleep was troubled with the thought; And as night claimed my slumbers deep A wondrous dream pervaded my sleep. The mist raises, a mighty wood appears, The flowers and the foliage round are drenched in tears, And slowly on this scene of colors bright A class of Freshmen struggle into sight. The trail is rough and rugged that they trod And on the stones they leave the stains of feet ill shod. Their heads bow—the path grows steeper still, But courage comes as they gain top of hill; For there in the distance, before their anxious eyes Is their goal—a castle in the woods of paradise. Hardly had they gazed again before the scene was gone And instead was flung a banner—Sophomores, Press On. Their suff’ring and sorrowing is left with the dying year, The path grows smooth and valleys green appear. Onward, ever onward! Will their journey never end? Will they ever see that castle bathed in glorious light again? Their path leads through a garden bright and gay To a big white gate that stands, a sentinel in their way. Two warriors stand with martial air Guarding the gate to the golden stair. But as the tired Sophomores draw near These warriors smile and wave their shining spear, The gate swings wide to let them pass, They have gained the golden stairs at last. The pilgrims grow weary—the stairs are long; But now on the air floats a lilt of a song And a veiled silver cup becomes their gu de Leading on up the stairs so steep and w:da. The veil slowly lifts and these words they see “To Juniors brave of Nineteen-Twenty-Three.” As they onward go this message falls on the air, “Do not stare up the steps of success but step un the stair.” —Estella Hart Page Seventeen Marguerite Laird Elmer Gant Wanah Randle Barton Stemmier Vesta Davis Ora Carter JUNIORS Nellie Hoffman Elizabeth Luttrell Helen Devoe Mr. Spiess, Advisor.

We have worked hard it is true, for, besides the good grades we have always endeavored to receive, we have represented our school in all activities. Even in our Freshman days representatives from our class entered athletics with zest. We have always had lettermen in football and both girls and boys basket ball. In track George Hall starred in the county meet of ’22. Many of the Junior girls are members of the glee club. We also have two members in the boys quartet and others who play in the orchestra. Who but a Junior should represent the school in the County Oratorical contest? Barton Stemmier did this and proved himself capable to do so, as he returned to school, after the contest, bearing the coveted silver cup. In debate, our class, also, has furnished valuable material, as Marguerite Laird and Wanah Randle have each held positions on first team. As a final to our Junior year, we gave a banquet to the Seniors. The Seniors in return, took us on a picnic which was greatly enjoyed. Aside from these events which closed the school year, the members of our class partic’pated in many other long-to-be-remembered pleasures. But let us not spend too much time in recounting the glories of the past but turn to the future. Next year we will assume the Senior responsibilities with a will, and do our best to “Step up the Stairs of Success.” Page Nineteen JUNIOR BILLBOARD NAME ALIAS PASTIME AMBITION Errol Knight Kackam Kidding Frazier “Knight Linn, Inc.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY EXAM. 1. What was the size of your Freshmen Class? We Freshmen first became members of the high school on a sunny morning in the fall of 1921. The assembly was so well filled during the next two weeks that we had to put our midyear Freshmen in the so-called English Room. By that time we were far the largest class in the school. 2. Give the sumary of class meetings. The first meeting was held shortly after school started. We elected Clayton Mast, president; Ellis Gant, vice-president; Agnes Tripp, secretary and treasurer and Roland Weekly, council representative. Later Agnes Tripp resigned and Alice Young was elected to fill her place. There were several meetings held during the year, two being held for the purpose of selecting class colors and our class flower. 3. Tell all you can of the initiation party. The first semester Freshmen were given an initiation party at the Woodman Hall by the Sophomore class, aided by the rest of the school. The initiation was very slight. The chief event was giving each of us a mustard, red pepper, vinegar preparation. The rest of the evening was spent in playin? games. Refreshments were served and we had a very enjoyable time. 4. Give a description of Freshmen Athletic Activities. We Freshmen turned out well for athletics. Agnes Deyoe and Alice Young were on the all-star basket ball team of the county. Clayton Mast and Roland Weekly won football letters and Clayton Mast won his letter in track. 5. Give details concerning the Freshmen Girjs Glee Club. About twelve Freshmen girls met at Mrs. Thompson’s house once a week to practice. We sang at the Literary Societies in school and several times were on the programmes given at the lodges. At the end of the school year we gave a recital at the Presbyterian church to show what we could do. The recital was such a success that this year the Glee Club is composed of members of the entire high school. Mrs. Thompson has charge of it again. 6. Write briefly the early Sophomore history. When the members of our class came back again as Sophs., we were somewhat surprised to find that most of our comrades had left us and we were the smallest class in the school, numbering about twelve. We were reinforced by the mid-year Freshmen at the end of the first semester. 7. Give the class officers of both classes. Soon after school started we had our first meeting. We Continued on Page Fifty-nine Page Twenty-three FOR THE FRESHMEN Tell me not, in mournful numbers, School work is an empty dream; For the Freshie that works, not slumbers, Things are always what they seem. School is real! School is earnest! And the College is not the goal; Freshman once then Seniors ever Was it spoken of the soul? Not enjoyment and not sorrow Do we work for every day; But to know that each tomorrow Takes us further on our way. Lives of Seniors all remind us We can make our lives subb'me, Ard departing leave the Freshmen Courage to make faster time. Courage that perhaps the Freshman, Sailing through school’s solemn main, A forlorn ard shipwrecked Freshman, Knowing shall take heart again. Let us then be ready, Freshmen, With a heart for any fate; Always working, always waiting, Taught to labor ard to wait. —Verna Hart. ---:o:--- FRFSHMEN Anna Johnson Blanche Felsher Lewellen Southmayd Lyle Knight Robert Redell Ariel MacDonald James Corbin Paul McNair Ardyce Clinton Aileen Barker Dorothy Tripp Milton Schroeder Donald Adams Theresa Dement Marjorie Stemmier Lillyan LaBranche Dena Mast Lillian Painter John Dickson Harley Miller William Fugate Edwin Keltner Robert Ladd Lila Dement Merle Clinton Lyla Holloway Norman James Elbert Schroeder Clifford Crosby Earl Fite Florence Felsher Aletha Barklow Zelma Crosby Minnie Ramsey Alice Nosier Vernita Laird Wilda Barker Edna Southmayd Genevieve Clarke William Ladd Angus Rackleff Percy Barzee Rodney Davenport Leland McNair Leland Wagner Gladys Culbertson Verna McNair Ruth Ramsey Harold Carver Miss Frazier, advisor. Page Twenty-five FRESHMEN HISTORY When we first came to high school last September we were given the Science Room as our assembly. At first we had some difficulty in finding our classes, but we soon learned where to go. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: president, Edwin Keltner; vice president, William Ladd; secretary, Wilda Barker; treasurer, Alice Nosier; sergeant-at-arms, Harold Carver. At a later meeting, we chose Miss Frazier as class advisor and decided upon old rose and gray as our class colors, and white carnation our flower. We were a little frightened when we heard that the Sophomores aided by the rest of the school were going to give us an initiation party. But to show that we were not cowards, we all went to the party. We were initiated slightly, after which refreshments were served and games played. The party broke up at a late hour and we all went home, feeling that being initiated was not so bad after all. At our next meeting we chose the motto, Not Finished, But Begun. We also decided upon a return party for the Sophomores. At mid-year we were joined by twelve more, just fresh fresh from grammar school. We also moved our assembly to the P. T. Room. Our class has been well represented in all forms of school activities. Two of our members were substitutes on the football team. The boys organized a Freshmen basket ball team which won from the Sophomores several times. We received the honor of having one of our class members chosen to represent the school in the Declamatory contest. We now have thirty-three days of perfect attendance and are looking forward to picnics and other good times this spring. Next year we are expecting to be Sophomores so we may initiate the coming Freshmen. Altogether our class is one to be proud of. :o: Page Twenty-six FRESHMAN RECEPTION The opening event of the social season for the year ’22 was the annual Freshman Reception given by the Sophomore Class. That these new citizens of M. P. H. S. might become acquainted with all their new friends, the whole student body was invited and aided in the initiation, which was the principle feature of the evening. The little white school house, the scene of the festivities, probably never witnessed such strange performances and mystic rites as were perpetuated there that evening. If any of the Freshmen had entertained any hard feelings as a result of their initiation, they were speedily dispelled as they consumed a large part of the bountiful refreshments, which were later served, and felt once more that all the world was their friend. To show that they were good sports and appreciated past favors the Freshmen gave a return party, to which the whole high school was invited. The decorations of mistletoe, besides being artistic, furnished a great deal of amusement and entertainment, as did also our dignified faculty member, Mr. Linn, and his business partner, Errol Knight. These incidents will long be remembered by those who were present. Games were played and refreshments served, after which the party broke up at an early hour. This was due to the fact that there was school the next day and the students did not wish to present a sleepy-eyed appearance. This foresight should be appreciated by the Faculty. ---------:o:--------- FOOT BALL PARTY In honor of the football squad, our superintendent, Mr. G. A. Spiess, gave a most enjoyable party at the Woodman Hall shortly after football season was over. The evening was spent in novel and entertaining games, during the course of which dainty refreshments were served. The party was still at its height when the lights went out and the gayety ended. Page Twenty-seven FOOT BALL BANOUET The Co’ed ’23 Club, which includes all the girls of the Senior class, gave a banquet at the Woodman Hall in honor of the foot ball team. Mr. Spiess, the coach, acted as toastmaster, each of the boys in turn responded with a short talk. A dance followed the banquet, and was enjoyed equally as well. ------:o:------- JUNIOR AND SENIOR BANQUET The Junior and Senior Banquet, given in honor of the 1923 Senior class, was a most successful affair, being the largest ever given by a Junior class of M. P. H. S. It was attended by the members of the Senior and Junior classes, also the School Board and Faculty. The tables, tastefully decorated in the class flowers and colors, presented a vQry pleasing appearance. Wayne Carver was toast-master for the evening and several of those present responded with short talks. The banquet in itself was the height of perfection and was appreciated as such by the guests. Much cred't is due the mothers of the Juniors for the time and assistance they gave to the affair. ----:o:----- ENTERTAINMENTS The basket ball teams were entertained by the Royal Neighbors in appreciation of the fact that, through the hard efforts of the boys and girls, the county championship was won. Mr. Spiess and the coaches, Mr. Nosier and Mr. George, who were also present, acted as toastmasters of the occasion. Red carnations and dainty, hand-painted place cards were features which made the tables especially attractive. A dance followed the banquet, making the entertainment of the evening entire,y complete. Apparently everyone is interested in High School Athletics —the business men as well as the students. This statement was proved to everyone’s satisfaction, especially the guests, when Paul Breuer entertained the girls’ basket ball team, and their coach. Mr Nosier, at his home, shortly after the closing game was played. It was a most enjoyable occasion although it has been whispered that several of the girls made themselves sick as a result of eating too much. Pa-e Twenty-eight ORGANIZATIONS This year the High School was divided into five societies, Hesiodian, Athenian, 400, Adelante and Lyceum Club. With the help of the advisors of each society, many spne-did programs were given which were attended by parents and friends. Among some of the best numbers were the Dictator given by the Hesiodian Society, the play Miss Dolton, by the Lyceum Club and The Man Next Door by the Athenians. The High School Orchestra, Boys’ Quartet and Girls’ Glee Club supplied the musical numbers at many occasions. It has been the aim of these societies to cultivate talent in students and to furnish entertainment for the parents and friends. Following are the officers of the Societies: Advisor Miss Whitaker President Elizabeth Luttrell HESIODIANS Program Committee Alice Guerin Ora Carter Estella Hart Elmer Gant Lois Still Advisor Mr. Linn President Audrey Lundy Advisor Mr. Spiess President Austin Dodge Advisor Miss Nye President Eula Mayse Advisor Miss Frazier President Vera Johnston —100— Program Committee Myrtle Hall Vernita Laird Crawford Annin ADELANTE Program Committee Fayma Arant Bruce Nosier Nelda Bender ATHENIANS Program Committee Fred McMullen Mabel Hall Verla Summerlin LYCEUM CLUB Program Committee Wanah Randle Barton Stemmier Ellis Gant Page Twenty-nine LE CIRCLE FRANCAIS OFFICERS Advisor ............................................. Mr. Linn President ......................................... Ora Carter Vice President Errol Knight Secretary and Treasurer ... Dorothy Tripp Motto—Vouloir, c’est pouvoir. Le Circle Francais is composed of all the students who are taking French. Friendship and the promotion of a better understanding of this language is the object of the club. The first business meeting was held near the beginning of the semester. The officer were elected by le circle avec Monsieur Linn presiding. In the latter part of the meeting Monsieur Knight took the president’s chair as Mile. Carter was absent. Monsieur Knight made a motion that we accept one of the posted mottos. This motion was carried. Other important business was transacted and plans were laid for many good times for the future. One of the main items spoken about was the secret initiation of le circle officers This was to take place on Sugarloaf, May twenty-fifth. All members were requested to be present. This club gave a very successful play before the assembly. Page Thirty DRAMATICS SENIOR PLAY NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SYNOPSIS “Nothing But The Truth” is built upon the simple idea of its hero speaking nothing but the absolute truth for a stated period. He bets a friend ten thousand dollars that he can do it, and boldly tackles truth to win the money. For a very short time the task is placidly easy, but Truth routs out man Trouble and then things begin to happen. Trouble doesn’t seem very lage and aggresive when he first pokes his nose into the noble resolve of our hero, but he grows rapidly and soon we see our dealer in truth disrupting the domestic relations of his partner. In fact Trouble works overtime, and reputations that Continued On Page Sixty-One Page Thirty-one iwi fh The play, which was given under the auspices of the Junior Class, was presented March 23 at the Unique Theatre.

Business Manager The student body is composed of all the members of the High School provided they pay a fee of $1.50 each semester, upon payment of the fee, the students receive tickets which admit them to all school activities held at Myrtle Point. There were 151 students registered in high school this year. This is the largest enrollment that our high chool has ever had. When there is any important business to be transacted, the president calls a meeting of the entire student body. School started last fall with ,$138 in our treasury and this sum was increased to $575 during the year. This has been one of the most prosperous years that our school has ever known. The students have gone into all activities with an enthusiasm which is proof of perfect co-operation. President Keltner has led us through a successful year. Fred McMullen and Crawford Annin have each held responsible positions and have handled the business of the student body in an efficient manner. Barton Stemmier, our yell leader has aroused more enthusiasm than our school has displayed for many a year. Let us hope that this has been the beginning of an era of increasing prosperity for Myrtle Point High School.

When practice was again started the girls went to work in earnest and the club was ready to give numbers on the High School Programs at the theatre and also assisted in other High School activities. Much credit is due Mrs. Thompson whose efforts to train the girls’ voices have made the Glee Club possible. Page Thirty-four HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Director and violinist .....................

Ervin Greene We are very proud of our orchestra as it was through their own efforts and hard work that they have reached the point where they can furnish real entertainment. These boys never refuse to play for all school entertainments, and their organization has meant a great deal to the school. They have already gained quite a name for themselves as they have successfully given a number of public dances. Page Thirty-five FOOTBALL ’22 Football started early in the fall under the able coaching of Mr. Spiess and his assistant, Mr. George. The prospects for a championship looked unusually bright because of the strong material left over from last year. The boys turned out for piactice full of pep and enthusiasm and vowed their intentions of coming out in the lead. Much of the success of the season was due to the unfailing efforts put forth by the second team. The season opened successfully by a game with Bandon played on our home field. The final score was 46 to 6. The only time the visitors scored was in the last quarter when practically the entire second string was being played. The following Saturday Myrtle Point defeated Coquille on their own field by a score of 39-0. The next game on our home field was against Marshfield. Myrtle Point was greatly surprised at the resistance exhibited by Marshfie’d ai d succeeded in gaining only two hard earned touch downs. The injuries received in this game by the back-field proved a serious drawback during the remainder of the season. The game with North Bend proved to be the most interesting of the season. Both teams were very evenly matched but Myrtle Point succeeded in carrying the ball over for the winning touchdown. This was accomplished by an end run by Hazelwood and a line buck by Keltner. The game was featured by the stone wall defense of Myrtle Point, for North Bend was not able to carry the ball and was constantly forced to kick. In order to fill out the schedule a second team game was arranged with Coquille, which resulted in a score of 20-6 in favor of Myrtle Point. The next game with North Bend, on the home field, resulted in the only defeat of the season. The game was played on a wet and slippery field which caused a large amount of fumbling on both sides. The breaks of the game favored the visitors, enabling them to win by two touchdowns ar.d a safety. In the final game Marshfield proved an unexpectedly strong foe and succeeded in fighting Myrtle Point back from her goal lines during the entire sixty minutes. At the close of the first half Myrtle Point had the ball on the three-yard line and first down. Myrtle Point teing unable to score, the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Myrtle Point players who were mentioned by various experts as members of the mythical all-county aggregation included: Keltner full back; Mast, end; Carter, tackle; Culbertson, guard; Barklow, tackle; Schroeder, end; Shull, guard; and Hazelwood, half back, were consider! d for second team. Page Thirty-nine MYRTLE POINTS LINE UP WAS: Keltner, Full back and captain; Hazelwood, Right guard; Anderson, Left guard; Schroeder, Quarter; Mast, Left end; Carter, Left tackle; Culbertson, Left guard; Hagerty, Center; Shull, Right guard; Barklow, Right tackle; Cant, Right end. Randle won his letter by playing tackle and guard, and Hall won his by playing half back and tackle.

The boys worked hard under Coach George and, after several pre-season games with the alumni and Bridge, Myrtle Point met Coquille on their floor. Myrtle Point led most of the time and when the whistle blew the score was 20-16 in our favor. The next game with Marshfield proved a run-away for Myrtle Point, the score being 42-15 when time was called. The North Bend game at Myrtle Point was expected to be a hard contest as the Bay team was fast and rangy. It d'd prove to be fast but Myrtle Point took the lead easily and was not threatened at any time. The Coquille game at Myrtle Point was by far the most exc’ting game of the season. The vis’tors led the Myrtle Point quintet well into the second half and it looked like a victory for Coquille. With five minutes to go the home team staged a rally and succeeded in tying the score. An extra five minutes was pbved in which Myrtle Point outscored her opponents, winning the game 16-13. (Continued on Page Forty-two) Page Forty-one BASKET BALL ’23 (Continued from Page Forty-one) In the return game with Marshfield, Myrtle Point added another victory to her string, winning by the decisive score of 40-19. The last scheduled game was with North Bend on the Marshfield floor. North Bend started with a rush and ran up quite a score but Myrtle Point showed her fighting spirit by coming back in the second half and winning the game. By defeating North Bend, Myrtle Point showed her superiority and fitness to represent the county in the state basket ball tournament. The last game played in the county was with the Marshfield Athletic Club. By winning, Myrtle Point completed the season without a defeat and won the undisputed championship of the county. The following Wednesday, amid the cheers of the entire school, the team left for the tournament at Salem. In the first game there Myrtle Point defeated the heavv Tillamook team to the tune of 28-16. The next afternoon Myrtle Po nt met the Astoria quintet in the semi-finals and owing 1o a poor start our boys were eliminated, the score being 30-22. BASKET BALL LINE-UP Ellis Shull L. F.

Mr. Nosier was again chosen coach, as he had proved so capable the year before. Four of the girls, who won letters last year, were out for practice ard conditions looked very favorable for a winning team. However, forwards had to be chosen from green material. But Mr. Nosier proved equal to the occasion and developed very good ones. At a business meeting the girls elected Elda Aasen captain ar.d Itha Clinton business manager. They also decided upon a uniform for the team. Before the regular schedule of the season began, several practive games were played with Bridge and Powers. The Bridge games proved to be easy victories, but, in the contests with Powers our girls met their only defeats. The reverses were partly due to the team being crippled on account of the absence of part of its members ar.d partly to the fact that Powers had an exceptionally strong team. The schedule games began with a contest played on the Coquille floor with the girls of that school. But the disadvantage of playing on a new floor was soon overcome and the team played well. By winning this first game they gained the confidence necessary to play future games. In each succeeding contest the girls brought home a victory until the season passed without a single loss in any of the scheduled battles. When the six met Coquille on our home floor the excitement was at its height. Everyone on the sidelines held his breath, then shouted with joy as the ball dropped through the basket. First one team scored, and then the opponents came back with another, until the game finally ended in a tie. Agnes Deyoe, who began the season as a forward, was later changed to center, where she again held her own as she had done the preceding year. It is not often that a team is favored with two such guards as Elda Aasen and Margie McCulloch. Zaida Mast could always be derendrd upon to play good ball, while there are unusually bright prospects for Libyan La Branche to become a star player. It is quite unusual to have a grammar school girl playing on the regular high school team, but Isabelle Bryant filled her position well.

Most of the point winners of last year are back and, with some new material, Myrtle Point should make a good showing in the County Track Meet, which is to be held at Myrtle Point on May 5. Clayton Mast was high point man for Myrtle Point in last year’s track meet and much is expected of him this year. Those taking points in the 1922 meet were: Clayton Mast, first place in the mile, time, 4:56; first in half mile, time, 2:12; third in 220 hurdles; second in 440 yd. dash. Total points 15. George Hall, first place in the high jump, 5 ft. 2 in.; third place in the discuss. Total points 7. Harvey Anderson, third place in the half mile; third in the 440 yard dash. Total points 4. Page Forty-six CLASS ATHLETICS FRESHMEN FOOTBALL ’22-’23 The Freshmen were fairly well represented in football this year. A league was formed with the grammar school and five games were played between the two teams. The Freshmen were able to win three out of the five games played, although they were handicapped by Edwin Keltner not being able to play on account of his position with the first team. The line-up which follows, was the same for most of the games: Right End, Robert Ladd; Right Tackle, Byron Hervey; Right Guard, Robert Rodell (Norman James); Center, William Ladd; Left Tackle, Ovid Hervey (Donald Lakey); Left End, Angus Rackleff; Quarter Back, Bryce Nosier; Right Half, Clair-mont Hannivold; Full Back, Neil MacDonald; Left Half, Will Fugate. The Freshmen were defeated in the first game of the season by a score of 12 to 19. Next time they come back with a determination and won 13 to 0, but were forced to take a 7 to 0 defeat in the third game. This was partly due to the absence of some of the players. The Freshmen rallied next time and defeated the Grammar School in what was probably the hardest fought game of the year by the score of 7 to 6. The Grammar school seemed to have lost their pep and were again defeated 18 to 7. The total score for the season was: Freshmen, 62; Grammar School, 39. -------:o:--------- FRESHMEN BASKET BALL The first game was with the grammar school. The Freshmen started out fast and, at the end of the first half, had a score of 12-5. There was not as much scoring in the second half but the Freshmen carried off a 23-11 victory. The second game was with the Sophomores. This was very closely contested, the Sophomores having the large end of the score the first half, but the Freshmen rallied in the second half and won by a margin of four points. The Freshmen then scheduled a game with Broadbent to be played there. They journeyed up there in a car taking along eight players. The hall being small and the lights poor, it was after the first quarter before the Freshmen got to going. (Continued on Page Fifty-seven) Page Forty-seven DEBATE According to custom, the first step in dbate work was to ho’d preliminary debates in each of the English classes. Several of the participants then volunteered to debate before the assembly. Eight were chosen to begin work on the question for the county debates. Later another try-out was held for the purpose of choosing the first team and alternates. The debaters showed some unusually good talent, each of the classes being represented. Eula Mayse and Wanah Randle began work on the affirmative side of the question which was “Resolved That the United States Should Cancel the Allied War Debts.” Claire K?ltner and Fred McMullen took up the negative. Marguerite Laird and Verna Hart were the alternates. The county debates were held February 19th. Our negative team met Coquille’s affirmative at that place. Marshfield’s negative came to Myrtle Point to debate with our affirmative at the Methodist church. Our negative won a unanimous decision from Coquille but out affirmative met with defeat. It seemed that public opinion favored the negative as only one affirmative team was able to win the judge’s decision. The championship was awarded to Coos River as both of her teams won. Page Forty-eight The Oratorical and Declamatory contests for the county was held at the Brethren Church on Friday, April 20. The high school orchestra played several selections during the evening which made a variety to the entertainment. The piano was loaned by Dal King. DECLAMATIONS ..........

In the other three quarters the Freshmen managed to cut their lead down to two points. If the game had been a few minutts longer the Freshmen felt sure that they would have won, but even though they did not win they were not discouraged so sced-uled a game with the Marshfield Freshmen. The evening of the game they went to the high school gym. where the contest was to be held. By the time they were on the floor there was quite a crowd of spectators. The Marshfield boys were much larger than ours, one of them being a first string man and another a substitute, but our team played hard and gave them a good fight. The game ended with a score of 23-11 in Marshfield’s favor. After the game came a rare treat. T he plunge in the gym had no one in it and the water was warm, which facts, we took advantage of. This caused a delay in starting back to Myrtle Point, but the ride home in Schroeder’s truck was enjoyed very much. Mr. Spiess went with us on this trip and did the managing for the team. This was very much appreciated. The final game was with the Sophomores. It was close the first half, but in the second the Sophomores won with comparative ease on account of the playing of Ellis Gant, who had been ineligible before as he was playing with the high school squad. ---------:o:-------- SCHOOL GOSSIP In the grey shadows of the schoolhouse lurk Out-lines of dim figures, the gossips are at work. Now the topic of their discourse. I bet you couldn’t guess. Their speeches were all fragments but I give to you the best. I do not know that it is so, but this is what I heard, I wouldn’t dare repeat it, but I’ll write it word for word. Its a shame the way that Bertha and Ellis Widby act. So runs the gossips rumor, and I know it must be a fact. To make sure you get this gossip just exactly right, I'll repeat to you what happened, on initiation night. Genevieve is a caution, with Don she rode away, And for companions, took with her Blanche and Edwin, so they say ’Tis bad enough for Freshies to do a thing like this, But when it comes to Seniors there’s something sure a-miss. Nick and Flossie, Elton and Audrey, upon a good time bent, Cared little how their car fared or where their time was spent. So Nick, to show his chivalry and manly generosity. Drove Audrey home and Elton too, then turned to bonnie Flossie. Away they went the merry two as homeward they were bound, Next morning four feet deep in mud their faithful car was found. And poor old Nick would be there in that grim mud stuck fast, If daddy had not came that wav and pulled him out at last. Thus ends the gossips’ story of this romantic chase, I do relate in words sedate what happened in this place.

The mid-year Freshmen organized separately. Their class officers were: Elsie Moller, president; Bryce Nosier, vice president; Fayma Arant, secretary, and Austin Dodge, treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester we again elected officers as none of our previous ones were members of the class. Lauren Barklow was elected president, Audrey Strong, vice president; Ellis Gant, secretary and treasurer; and Clayton Mast, council representative. 8. Explain Freshmen party. The high school decided to let We Sophomores give the initiation party to that awful bunch of Freshmen—guess they didn’t want the job. The party was held in the little white schoolhouse. We were not hard on the Freshmen because we had gone through the ordeal ourselves. We made them eat worms (spaghetti) until one energetic Freshman upset the bucket. Later refreshments were served and games played. As the Freshmen were thoroughly appreciative, a few weeks later they gave a return party at the Lundy Hall. 9. What is the approximate number of perfect days for beginning and advanced Sophomores? The beginning Sophomores have fifty-seven perfect days at the first of April and the advanced Sophomores have sixty-nine perfect days. 10. Name the class representatives in Athletics.

At the rise of the curtain Captain Codman with his back to the audience, is discovered leaning against the rail. From the open door of the wireless office comes flashes of electric light and the buzzing of the wireless. The three acts of the play tell of Brooke Travers, who tries to place the blame of his crime upon Colonel John T. Bowie and be “The Dictator.” Brooke Travers tries to win the love of Lucy Sheridan, but as she is to marry Rev. Arthur Bostick she refuses his affections. As Juanita knows the crime of Brooke Travers she helps him out of his troubles by confusing the detectives. In the last act Rev. Arthur Bostick asks Juanita to be his wife and Brooke Travers is cleared, so the story ends. -----------------------------:o:--------- DRAMATICS Instead of a carnival, the High School gave a program at the Unique Theater this spring, the proceeds going to the annual fund. The orchestra and glee club gave popular numbers and the other numbers included comic dialogues, a clever pantomime showing courtship difficultis, recitations, and vaudeville sketches. Perhaps the most popular number was the folk dance in costume, by several High School girls. Mrs. Helen Billings gave several character songs and dances. The Co’ed ’23 Club made candy to sell during the evening. --------------------------:o:--------- INTER-CLASS TRACK Before the Annual County Track Meet for 1923, an interclass meet was held to get a line on the material trying for Myrtle Point’s team. Some very good records were made, and hope? for success are high. The meet was taken by the Seniors, followed in order by the Sophomores, Juniors, and Freshmen.

These remarks were unusual but were of highly educative value to each one addressed and to others as well. He finally stated that the winner of the Oratorical Contest was Barton Stemmier of Myrtle Point. Mr. Spiess, Superintendent of the schools of Myrtle Point, made a short talk stating that Mr. Thorpe hal also decided that the Declamatory contest was won by Edith Johnson of Marshfield. Both cups are practically ned. The Declamatory cup has been won by Marshfield two years, and no other names are on it. The Oratorical cup was won by Coquille last year and by Myrtle Point this year, so both names will be engraved upon it. --------:o:--------- Brethren and sistern, our text fo’ today will be taken from the book of Whiz Bang, chapta fo’ ’leven fo’ty fo’, verse seben ’leben; “He who sitteth on a hot stove shall rise again.” You may pick beautiful strains on a mandolin for an hour and the girls don’t even look out the window, but just one honk of a horn -------Oh, boy!

Then up spake the steady sophomore Who many a sea had sailed, “I’ve tried every sea on this wide world And all but one have failed.” “And that was the sea of experience, You had better try it and see.” But the freshman only turned away And a scornful laugh laughed he. He said he had traveled more seas than he, Who so proudly boasted his fame. And the sophomore hailing another ship, Left the freshman alone with his game. Sometime later into a harbor Came a wreck back to the shore. And the freshman who had departed so wisely Was never to sail no more. :o: Wayne—“What would you say if I threw you a kiss?” Itha—“I’d say you were the laziest boy I ever knew.” Junior—“I asked her if I could see her home.” Senior—“What did she say?” Junior—“She said she would send me a picture of it.” Whitaker—“What does the word “assess” mean?” Bud—“Whe-er- “Assess” is a lady donkey.” Mr. George (in history class)— “Who can give an example of King Williams’s lack of horse sense?” Barton—“He failed to organize a stable government.

Some Secrets for Success 1 Make up your mind to work at something worth while, worthy of your best endeavors, and work hard tc attain that somet’.ing. 2 Work can be made a joy, and economy a pleasure if you combine an object worth while with the determined ambition to win. 3 Don’t be afraid of long hours or constant attention to your task, any young man or woman can succeed in life, if he or she saves, has definite and honest purpose, and is so filled with that purpose that work ceases to be a hardship, and becomes a privilege 4 Face all your tasks with optimism, the sort of optimism that prompts you to make big business out of small beginnings The Influence of Furniture Censors of modem morals have missed a simple explanation for the improvement in modern technique of present day courting We all admire SHERATON FURNITURE, with its wonderful spindly U’fjs and spiderly construction, but what a bane it must have been to our grandparents in moments of emotion Grandmother harps unnecessarily on the old story that, when she was young, a young girl would never have dreamt of sitting on a young mans knee. Of course not, the furniture would have collapsed. “Your father always left before ten o’clock” is the mother’s crushing rejoinder to her daughter’s defense of mid-night farewells. Don’t be misled. Our fathers were in no way inferior to us either in courage or affection. They were quite as sure that they could reach the door the necessary fraction of a second faster than any angry parent, cut they were only human, no flesh and blood could withstand the impenetrable argument in favor of an early farewell presented by a polished mahogany chair. This generation should raise a memorial to the man who invented the Modern Davenport, Day Bed, and lounge with their deep, easy cushioned, beauty of constructions, and convincing air of solidity.

The disciple of aestheticism was commenting upon the squalid appearance of the editorial sanctum “Despite our surroundings we should cultivate beauty,” he cried. “That wastebasket, for instance.
