We’ve walked this little way with you, And now good friends, this is adieu. Oh, fellow seniors, must this be? Our longed for hopes so soon to see, Our frail crafts will soon leave the port, Some journeys will be long and some be short. The fond eye lingers on faces dear, The voice is kinder and the fellowship more near. The time draws night we all must part; The soon farewell, will greet each heart- E. H.

We regret that we must leave our dear old school and separate from the many friends we have made. Our happy care-free life here has been most memorable and it is difficult to make an analysis of our feelings. We realize that the four years training has been the last stepping stone before journeying on to college. It was the fall of ’21 when we entered high school. On that bright September morning when twenty-eight of us freshmen surveyed the assembly room we little realized the fame we would attain in the pages of the Myrtle Point high school history. During our first two years we were well represented in athletics, debate and other high school activities. In our third year who but Barton Stemmier, a junior, should represent the school in the County Oratorical Contest. He proved himself capable of doing so by winning the silver cup. Marguerite Laird and Wanah Randle held positions on the debating team. The many social events of our Junior and Senior years were very successful and not only molded us in closer bonds of comradeship, but were a most happy medium in our high school life. Not one of us can forget the friends we have made, our teachers who have labored earnestly that we might be prepared to go on to college, or our debt of gratitude which we owe to the high school and to those who have made possible our coming here. Page Ten Senior Will We, the graduating class 1924, knowing that our days are numbered in this renowned educational institution, and desiring to be free of certain, previously valuable encumbrances, now useless in our life struggle for notoriety and fame, being of a firm mind and undisturbed by undue influences, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, valid in the City of Myrtle Point, in the County of Coos, in the State of Oregon; to-wit: First: We do hereby name, constitute, and appoint Miss Helen Whitaker executrix of this last will and testament and require her to give no bond as such. Secondly: We hereby bequeathe our customary seats of honor along the east side of the assembly to the arrogant juniors. Thirdly: To the sophomores we leave the task of setting good examples for the freshmen. Fourthly: Regretfully, we will our unsurpassed knowledge acquired by four years of regular attendance at this edifice of instruction, to the beloved and tender freshmen. I, Elizabeth Luttnell, leave my pleasing giggle to Clayton Mast. I, Errol Knight, will my position as school comedian to Claremont Hannevold.

Margie McCulloch, Alice Guerin, Vesta Davis Page Twelve Senior Class Prophecy ’24 Friends, 1 am so happy, so happy today; I have found a treasure book long stowed away— Now, for the first time, I will tell each and all— About this wonderful book. You remember early one fall I had a serious illness—it was ether, you know, That caused unconsciousness for twelve hours or so. You thought I was dying—no—but during these hours I had a curious vision—was given unusual powers. I saw in this wonderful vis:on—as clear as a bell— The future of each of you that I know here so well. I wrote down this vision in plain black and white, And this is the book that fills me full of delight. Long years have passed—fifteen years or more Since that class in Mvrtle Point of 1924. I have traveled—yes I have traveled half around the earth, I have met men and women of value and worth; And some place either on land or on sea I’ve met the sweethearts of the other days and the beaux. But I will drop the poetry and tell it better in prose— But first I will say that every word of that vision Has come true—It was written in verse just as I’ll read it to you. “Mr. Spiess shall give the world a plan for Peace— And this plan shall cause all war to cease.” This proved true—of course you all know that his plan worked. That those who declare war should themselves fight at the front and that they should forfeit all the:r goods. The nations soon realized other means could be found to settle affairs. “Miss Paterson will always be most gentle and kind The poor and the needy, will a friend in her, continually find.” Some years ago Miss Paterson left the faculty and became the best known and best beloved of Probation officers in our state. I afterwards heard that she married a noted literary man of St. Louis. “A position of honor a long way from here Will be Miss Parker’s—we will miss her I fear.” The night Miss Parker left to take her position as Secretary of War at Washington, Myrtle Point gave her one of the most wonderful farewell parties that has ever been g;ven. News was received from Washington not long ago that she has been appointed to a third term of office. “Miss Whitaker is good to h:gh ar.d low— To Foreign lands some day she’ll go.” When I was travelling in Africa in the veer 1929, who should be my hostess in a small village but Miss Whitak' . One co”ld see that she was lov d and respected bv the entire household. She said she liked it in Africa but sometimes she longed for old Myrtle Point. We talked far into the night about the people we Page Thirteen both knew, it was she who told me of the splendid position that Miss Frazier has. She is teaching commercial subjects in the New York Central High School. Odd too when you think of it for in my vision book, this is written by her name: “Miss Frasier shall move to the East from the West She shall be given a splendid position, one of the best.” Marjorie McCulloch let me see—Yes here ’tis written plain as can be: “Margie shall live in a very big city, She shall be leader in many an important committee.” Last December I was in San Francisco on a most important meeting of the Directors of the State Baby Homes, and while there met Margie. She ws� s verv busy as she had to give a report as the DIVISION COMMERCIAL- I nearly forgot, she is marri'ed but she manages so well that her house is well run and she can hold h°r pos'tion as well. Margie had iust Ome to tell me she had had a vacation and had visited Elizabeth Luttrell in Seattle. Elizabeth, she sa:d. made a charming hostess. In my vision about Elizabeth I read this— “One of the happiest girls that ere drew breath Is our school mate Elizabeth.” “Estella. Estella, the world shall hear Some of your poetry never fear.” You remerber Estella alwavs could wr:te. So I was not a bit surprised to find that the Literarv Digest devoted a whnF page to her verse; she is in constant demand to read before the large clubs of the countrv. “A lawyer noted for justice and pVht A lawyer who wins in every fight.” This was written of Benton and when I was in Portland last spring I had the pleasure of hearing the United States District Attorney for Oregon make one of the most brilliant speeches it has ever been my lot to listen to. Bes’des being a lawyer Benton is also known as a collector of glass, the finest and most precious of his specimens is Crystle. “Fred shall help the sick man and cure the blind To all he’ll be most wondrous kind.” You know that it is just what he has done. He became p physician and surgeon and by some combination of honey, olive oil, and herbs, he has made a marvelous remedy for blindness. A friend of mine from Chicago savs he has b°come world famous. “She’ll surprise you, will Lo;s Still, And important place she will fill.” You know I always thought Lo:s would have some quiet placa in the world, so you may imagine my surprise when sh nn for United States Senator from Oregon and won by a big majority. “He will use his brains instead of his muscles, All who work for him will have to hustle-” This was written in my vision book about Elmer Gant, our class President of ’24. I always thought he wou’d he a coach at college. He did start with this work but in 1927 he started working for the Oregonian and now owns the entire establishment. He is the most alive newspaper man on the Pacific Coast. Page Fourteen “Nelly Hoffman will live in a land that is cold She will be very lucky so I am told.” Well, she was lucky. She went to Alaska to teach, met and married a very wealthy oil operator there, and he says she can handle his business affairs better than he can, so he co-operated. And Ruth Porterfield, I could not understand what the vision meant, it said— “She will win where others lose.” You certainly have heard what Ruth did, haven’t you. Well, she had a law put through the business houses of the United States to the effect that all people who do not pay their bills shall have their names published as do people who are delinquent in iheir taxes. This has done more for the business world than any other one move. Ruth has a husband who believes her stand is right and lie helped her with this. Did you read the book most talked about of the vear. It is called “AN INSIGHT INTO THE SECRET ORDER OF THE TRIPLE H,” by Wayne Carver. The day this small club was organized the Myrtle Point High School little realized that it would grow from an enrollment of six members to thousands. This book ranks among the best of this years output. By Waynes’s name was: “Wayne Carver shall write what he knows is true, And what it is the world shall know too.” We are all proud of Barton Stemmier he made one of the best Governors of Oregon we have ever had. He was elected in 1934. I knew however that we could expect something from him when I wrote: “The people will be to him a friend, And he will work for his state's best end.” “Ora will teach and she will write She’ll see the world in every light.” As correspondent for the Associated Press, Ora Carter has seen very much of the world indeed. “Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway. Those who came to scoff, remained to pray.” This was said of Neil MacDona’d. I saw him in Chicago and he lectured before one of the largest audiences ever held :n that city. He is one of the best influences in the lives of the young today. “She will be some fortunate boy’s wife, Will Eva Meade, And she will be happy, she will indeed.” And that happens to be so. She has a lovely home and is most contented. As she always had a talent for writing, she now writes for her town paper and her articles are always interesting. I heard that she had changed her name to Mrs. Hermann. Speaking about writing—Marguerite Laird is chief radio bed-time story teller. Her stories are the cleverest ones over the radio. I could not at the time understand what my vision meant about her: Pape Fifteen — “Her voice will be heard for hundreds of miles, And will cause thousands of smiles.” “He will give a command and men will obey, This is true for it is w'hat I say.” I know now what this means, so often you see in the paper that Roderick Hermann, Officer of the Navy, has done s )me creditable work. He is a splendid example of a man who can command, yet who shows justice and kindness to all his men. “He shall in one single night Help to make the world more right.” Do you know what Harvey Anderson has done; but of course you have read about it. His invention has destroyed all the munitions of war ever invented—poison bombs. I will tell you how. His invention has made the world see right, he has changed the hearts of men. “She w'ill teach each lass and each lad They will remember to be happy and forget to be sad.” Helen did make a wonderful teacher and when she told her pupils that she was going to leave to get married they all cried. They said they did not see how they could get along without her This was written after Vesta Davis’s name but I could not see how it could apply to her. “The night will be filled with music and the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs and as silently steal away.” Rut now I know. Her playing has been broadcasted all over America. She and her husband are both noted cello players. “Errol Knight watch your step or you know You’ll come to gr'ef, you will come to wroe.” And that is almost what did happen. Errol broke so many hearts that the Judge sentenced him not to speak to a girl for six months and this cured him. He married a California girl and she says he makes not only a very good President of one of the largest insurance companies in Oregon but is one of the best husbands. “Itha Clinton will be brave She will prove it, she will save.” Now when the vision appeared to me I did not what she meant. But a number of years ago she wras given a medal for saving a young man from drowming. She had gone to Los Angeles for a vacation and at Long Beach she saved this man’s life. Later she married his. Who do you suppose it wras—it was Wayne Carver. “Alice has married a millionaire And is living in California fair.” The engagement of Alice Guerin to Fred Laffertv was announced at a large tea given by one of her old school chums, Vesta Davis. And here dear friends the vision ended and I have been glad glad indeed to find as I have met the different members of our class during the passing vears that much of what I dreamed has come true. In spite of all we have heard against Matrimony we (Continued on page sixty) Page Sixteen Why Try To Make The Grade? When as a child we toiled at work, Beside a lamp at night; It seemed sometimes there was a voice Spoke out against our plight, “The path is long, the tasks are hard. Why try to make the grade? Sit down and rest and be content With the progress you have made.” As on we tread, the weary grade Grew steeper all the way, And at the end of a long dull term We heard that drear voice say, “The path is long, the tasks are hard, Why try to make the grade? Sit down and rest and be content With the progress you have made.” Onward and upward we strove to go. Many of us, but not all, For a few there were, who heard the voice And hearkened to the call, “The path is long, the tasks are hard Why try to make the grade? Sit down and rest and be content With the progress you have made.” We’re going on, we can not fail As juniors now we’re true. So we’ll leave to those at the foot of the hill These words which we’ve changed for you: “The path is long, the tasks are hard. But you’ve got to make the grade. You can’t sit down and be content With the progress you have made.” —Verna Hart.

We come not to boast of our achievements but to show all future juniors what can really be accomplished when a group of willing students work together. As freshmen, two of our boys received football letters and three of our girls were on the basket ball team. When we returned to school the following year we found that many of our classmates were absent. This d:d not in any way hinder our progress, for that year we had more representatives in athletics than before. Those of our sophomore class who succeeded in winning places on the first teams were the following: in football—Wanah Randle and Clayton Mast; in girls basket ball—Elda Aasen, Agnes Deyoe, and Zaida Mast;. At the beginning of the second semester we elected officers as none of our previous ones were members of the class. Loren Barklow was elected president; Audrey Strong, vice-president; Ellis Gant, secretary-treasurer; and Clayton Mast, council representative. Now, as juniors, we are still climbing. This year the boys who represented us in football were: Clayton Mast, Ovid Hervev, Bryce Nosier, Ellis Gant, and Louis Baynes; in basketball: Clayton Mast played on the first team the entire season and Louis Baynes, Bryce Nosier, and Ellis Gant played second at the beginning but finished the season on the first team. A number of our boys are going out for track. In girls’ basketball, we won the Championship of the County. The juniors on the first team were Elda Aasen, Lucile Harris, and Aloma Davis. On the second team Audrey Strong. When Myrtle Point won the County Championship in debate, Verna Hart represented the juniors as first speaker of the negative. She will debate again at Ashland. The junior class gave a play at the M. W. A. hall accompanied by a basket social and other entertainments. Near the last of April the junior and senior banquet will be held and the juniors are busy preparing for this. We are trying to live up to our motto and we are all expecting to come back to old M. P.

Last year we were initiated and then we gave the school a return party as every class does in its freshman year. Besides this we went to a grove above Bridge for a picnic and had a great deal of fun spending our half-holiday. Purmg football season two freshmen boys served very well ns substitutes. The girls’ basketball team had one first team member and several substitutes from our class. A number of our boys practiced basketball last winter but were unable to secure posit ons on the team. Two or three freshmen boys he lped Myrtle Point win points in the track meet. In other student affairs, we were just as prominent. One boy was on the debate squad and Marjorie Stemmier was the representative to the Declamatory contest for M. P. H. S. We had only the usual class members in the Student Council and on the Annual Staff, but they represented us weU. Several members were in the Girls’ Glee Club which was under Mrs. Thompson’s Page Twenty-one direction. This year we have certainly excelled that record for “day by day, in every way, we’re getting better and better” and intend to keep on doing so. Our record in athletics is exceptional for any one class. Edwin Keltner was on the football team and several good substitutes were from our class. He was also on the basketball team for which we again had several substitutes. Dena Mast and Libyan LaBranche are the forwards on the girls’ basketball team. The juniors and sophomores were able to defeat the freshmen and seniors, so, you see, we have several fine substitutes to our credit. Several sophomores have been on the track team. In other activites we had a more brilliant record. The vice-president of the student-body and the secretary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were sophomores. Myrtle Pomt High School won the District Debate Championship and the two first speakers. Marjorie Stemmier and Leland Wagner, were from our class. The winners of the city Oratorical and Declamatory Contest. William Ladd and Marjorie Stemmier were also sophomores. Florence Felsher and Aileen Barker were on the Myrtle Leaf Staff and one of the assistant business managers of the Annual was a sophomore. The “Rooks” this year were initiated much more thoroughly than we were, for we gave them a masquerade party so they could enjoy themselves when the initiation was over. In April we gave a sophomore party at the Lundy H ill and enjoyed the long-put-off treat immensely. We are busy now counting our days of perfect attendance and planning our picnic which will be held soon. The class officers who have brought us through such a successful year are: Rodnev Davenport ..................................... President Genevieve Clarke .................................Vice-President Al-'ce Nosier............................Secretary and Treasurer Paul McNair ......................• •......—.... Sergeant-at-Arms Leland Wagner .......................................... Council Representative Miss Frazier ................................... faculty Advisor Altogether, we are proud of our record and expect to have a brilliant history which will long be remembered as that of the illustrated class of ’26.

We hear a voice on the ball ground say, “Here comes a freshie, get out of the way!” And don’t you know every doggone time We turn our back, we’re hit from behind. They always tell us we ought to wear green. Don’t you think that is awfully mean? 1 guess they’ll always play jokes on the frosh. So you just wait till we’re seniors, by gosh! --------®---------- History One sunny day last September we found ourselves inside the high school building, wondering what to do next. We were given a room down stairs for our assembly. At first we had some difficulty in finding our classes, hut we soon learned where to go. At our first class meeting we elected the following ollicers: president, Harold Carver; vice-president, John Dickson; secretary and treasurer, Donald Adams; sergeant-at-arms, Glenn Gibbs, who was later succeeded by Earl Fite; counci representative, Isabelle Bryant. We became quite curious when we heard the sophomores making plans for our initiation party, wh:ch was to be in tin form of a masquerade. We wrere slightly initiated, after which games were played and refreshments served. The party broke up at a late hour and a good time was enjoyed by all. We went home, feeling that ’nitiation parties were not so bad after all. At a later meeting we decided or. a return party for th'� entire student body; but as late hours are not in keeping with football rules, the party was rostnoned. At midyear we were joined by eight grammar school students. This brought the total number in our class up to forty-five. The bovs among thnse beg’nnirg freshmen were quite roughly treated by some of the upper classmen.

Several members of our class went out for basketball. Also Raymond Gibson received a football letter. As we lost in the contest of buying student body tickets, we owed the upper classes two parties, which we decided to give as one and make it twice as entertaining. We now have thirty-one days perfect attendance ar.d we are planning many good times for the spring. When we get to be sophomores next year the coming freshmen are to be pitied. Althoueh our class h-'d some trouble getting started it is one of wh:ch we are very proud. Page Twenty-five — Freshman Party Shortly after school began the sophomores, with the assistance of the upper classmen, gave the freshmen an initiation party, in the form of a masquerade, which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The freshmen, following the custom, planned a return party. Due to so many games and other events it was put off from time to time. When the sale of second-semester student body tickets began there was a race between the different classes to see which could first have a one hundred per cent membership in the student body. The freshmen lost and therefore were obliged to entertain the rest of the school. They wisely decided to give the two parties in one and make it doublv enjovable. This was ejven Wednesday night. February 13, for the entire high school. Every one reported a good time. --------®--------- The Football Banquet On Friday evening, November 24, the junior and senior girls gave the football team, subs, coach, and faculty, a banquet at the Woodman Hall. The room was prettily decorated in red and blue. There was a football at each end of the long table and the place cards were made to resemble one. Miss Helen Deyoe was toast mistress. Several talks were given by the coach, subs, and members of the team. Many of the students remained after the banquet to dance. ---------@-------- Basketball Girls' Entertainment At the beginning of the basketball season, Mr. Bruer, a prominent merchant of our town, promised the girls a “feed” if they should win the Coos Countv Championship. So after the season was over and the girls had been successful in winning the Page Twenty-six title of champions, Mr. Bruer was true to his promise and gave a delicious luncheon which consisted of chicken tamales, cake and coffee. Mr. Bruer is one who takes much interest in school activities and always gives the school his best support. Junior-Senior Banquet The junior-senior banquet was given at the Woodman Hall, May 2. The hall was decorated in orange and black butterflies and streamers. There were about fifty-five persons present, including the juniors, seniors, faculty, and schoolboard. Many toasts were given. Junior Basket Social The junior class gave a program and basket social at the Woodman Hall, March 21. The program was as follows: Impromptu Play, The Gathering of the Nuts—(Selected cast from audience.) Play, The Revolt, Junior Girls. Vaudeville Features. Hannevold and Knight, comedians. Selections by Mavello Quartette. - Dr. Clarke auctioned the many beautiful baskets. Different articles were sold at the Fish Pond. Refreshments could be had for those who d'd not bring baskets. ---------®--------- SENIOR PARTIES Helen Deyoe entertained the senior class at her home on the evening of October 9. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. A dainty lunch was served and at twelve, the guests departed. Alice Guerin acted as hostess at a party given at her home for the senior class and members of the alumni. Many interesting games were played such as: the making of a paper dress by a boy forh is partner, the molding of animals from paraffin, and the placing together of parts of advertisements. A luncheon of ice cream and cook’es was served at twelve. The seniors enjoved a pleasant evening at Lois Still’s home at a children’s party. We dr ss d and acted as small children and played some of the games that we used to pDy several years ago. Page Twenty-seven At supper time we had bibs pinned on us and ate graham crackers and milk but later ice cream and cake were served. Nellie Hoffman invited the Triple S. to her brother’s homestead on Hooligan creek for a hike. After a homestead dinner was served, the girls spent the afternoon in gathering flowers. The senior class surprised Ora Carter on her eighteenth birthday. They played cards and sang until a late hour when refreshments of cake and punch were served. ---------@--------- SENIOR NOTABLES Class Athlete ........... Class Pie Eater..........

As officers, Neil MacDonald for President, Austin Dodge for Vice-President, and Vcrnita Laird for Secretary-Treasurer were elected. An executive committe, consisting of Fred LafFerty, Harvey Anderson, Helen Deyoe, Verna Hart, Aloma Davis, Hugo Gurney, Alice Nosier, and Leland Wagner, was appointed. The girls of the executive committee helped the Woman’s Club with their projects and the boys helped the Commercial Club. The Commercial Club turned over the fixing of the Auto Park to us and the whole student body turned out and cleaned it up. A subscription list was then taken and with the proceeds the boys erected a drinking fountain, installed stoves and a swing, painted the tables and fixed the outbuildings. The Junior Chamber of Commerce has also interested itself in the Union High School and in securing some much needed city legislation. For the short time it has been in operation it has been a decided success and next year great things are expected of it. ---------®---------- Page Thirty-one MYRTLE LEAF Some time ago we established a school paper called the Myrtle Leaf.

There are 144 members :n the student body. A fee of one dollar and fifty cents a semester was paid for membership and this entitled each person to a ticket for each school activity held here. The Student Council is the governing body of the school. It is composed of all the student body officers and a representative from each class. Miss Whitaker was the advisor of the council for the years 1923-1924. The reuglar meeting of the council was held each Monday at twelve o’clock. If any important matters needed immediate attention special meetings were called during the week. Elmer Gant has been an excellent business manager and the year r.s a whole has been a very prosperous one. Page Thirty-thrae The Triple S OFFICERS Advisor ......................................

Helen Deyoe The “Triple S” is composed of all the girls of the senior class. It was organized to perform, more efficiently, the girl’s part of the class work. They kept up the “pep” of the class. At their first meeting the club elected their officers. They also decided upon the kind of graduating dresses they were to have. The “Triple S” gave candy and punch sales at the basketball games, thus raising money to pay a twenty-five dollar royalty on the senior play, and to give several dollars towards the annual.

In our first tryout in the English class debates be fore the assembly, six were picked for the final tryout. These were Marguerite Laird, Le land Wagner, Marjorie S t e m rn 1 e r. Barton Stemmier, Neil MacDonald, and Verna Hart. The question for debate was: Resolved that the percentage feature of our present immigration law should be repealed. At the regular debate our affirmat;ve team, Marguerite La:rd and Leland Wagner, met Coos River’s team here and won a decisive victory. The s°me cvcn’ng our negative team. Marjorie Stemmier and Verna Hart, met Bar.dan’s team at Bandon and won the decision there. On April 12th two members of the team. Marguerite Laird tnd Verna H rt, met Ashland’s team at Ashland in the Intei-d'strict debates on the question: “Resolved that the policy of federal subsidies to the states accompanied by federal supervision should be abandoned.” Our team lost the decision but we feel that they d d their best and that they have gained the exericnce necessary to put up a better team next year. Page Thirty-seven Oratory The Oratorical and Declamatory Contests were held in the Hartman Theatre at Bandon, Oregon, Friday, April 18, 1924 The local band played several selections during the evening and vocal solos were sung by the following: Mrs. W.

The winners were: Audrey Lyons of Marshfield, and Lester Meadows of North Bend. Although we lost, our representatives did their very best work and we have hopes of winning at least one of the cups next year. Papre Thirty-eipht FOOTBALL The people, who did not expect M. P. H. S. to have a fighting chance in football, were totally surprised when Coach Spiess returned with a new system which he obtained while attending summer school at California. The boys, who were new to the game, were whipped into shape and ended the season by winning four of the seven scheduled games. They were handicapped from all angles: lack of equipment, time for training, having only two letter men of last year, and a minus quantity in avoirdupois. This season one of the most successful systems of forward passing was used. It was through the forward pass we won from Coquille. During the last game with them the record was broken when Mast threw the ball forty-five yards into the arms of Nosier, giving us the only score. Those who we can mention as being the stars of the season are: Clayton Mast,, C. D. Mast, Clayton D. Mast, Loren Barklow, Oliver Horn, and Raymond Gibson. These men were the spectacular players of the season. Mast holding all records in the county for either defensive or offensive work. Recalling the season from start to finish, it can be counted as a success. Myrtle Point will always have a football te im and each year we hope it will continue to become one of the best sports that any school can have the pleasure of exhibiting. -------------------------------@---------- The Line-up Right end .............................._ Errol Knight Left end .......................... -...

Coach George, who put out a winning team last year, took charge and was able to put us in fourth place in the county. This season was exceedingly long and the teams very evenly matched. The scores proved this by no team ever winning by a very large margin. Throughout the season, we were never beaten more than five points, excepting the game played against the champions at Marshfield. The Coquille team which had not been defeated was given a scare when M. P. H. S. succeeded in tying the score on their own floor. We led by several points until Gant was hurt and then the Coquille five scored enough to cause the tie. Time was allowed to play it off and Coquille came out victorious. Mast and Gant were picked by various coaches as all-stars of the county. The latter of these, however, was forced to leave the team because of injuries received during the summer months. As most of the letter men will be back next year, we should have a strong team as we will not be entirely dependent on inexperienced players as was the case this year.

Practice was delayed a week at the beginning of the season on account of some financial affairs concerning the rent of the hall, but after these were settled the girls began practice with much enthusiasm. At one of the first meetings the girls elected Margie McCulloch captain. As Mr. Nosier was too busy to retain his position as coach, Mr. Spiess took his place and proved to be a very good one. The first congest of the season was a practice game played with Arago. As the girls had but one week’s practice they won by only a small score. This showed them that they needed much hard training before meeting stronger teams. However, the first regular game was played at Powers, January 5. As Powers had boast°d about the;r good team, the girls feared that they would lose, but decided to show Powers that they would have to work for the game if they were going to win it. The girls were rewarded for their efforts as they won over the logging town by a one-sided score. The next game was played with North Bend on the Armory floor at Marshfield. This proved to be a hard one as North Bend was leading at the end of the third quarter but due to tho everlasting fighting spirit of the girls. Myrtle Point was leading at the close of the game by a score of 23 to 17. The game with Coquille at Myrtle Point was a decided walk-away for Myrtle Point. During the last half several of the members of the second team were put in. The next game was played with Bandon on Myrtle Point’s floor. Many who saw' it say that it was the fastest game of the season, but it is believed that the score would not have been so close if one of Myrtle Po’nt’s guards had been able to play. The second game with North Bend was also fast but the two with Coquille and Powers were slow and one-sided. Arago forfeited the last game of the season to Myrtle Point, so a class game was played instead. The juniors and the sophomores won from the seniors and the freshmen bv a score of 19 to 8. Myrtle Point also played a practice game wdth Bridge the night that Coos River played Myrtle Point. The score was 41 to 6 in Myrtle Point’s favor. At the last of the season the second team played two games wdth Bridge. They won the game on their own floor by a score of 36 to 6 but due to Bridge’s small hall they were defeated there by a score of 19 to 25. Page Forty-six Line-up Dena Mast .................

Page Forty-seven Track Meet Taking a total of 49 V4 points, our now famous five-man track team ran away with the Coos county meet on May 10, giving Myrtle Point her third county championship this year. I'rom the time Bryce Nosier won the pole vault at a height reached but once before in the county, until Harvey Anderson crossed the finish line in the relay inches ahead of the Marshfield runner, our boys set the pace for Iheir competitors and held the entire centre of attention. Clayton Mast was the star of the meet, breaking his own previous records in the quarter and half, besides winning the hurdles, taking second in the 100, fourth in the broad jump, and running in the relay. Errol Knight was second among the point winners of the meet. He won the 50, took second in the hurdles, third in the 100, tied for fourth in the high jumps, and ran in the relay. Bryce Nosier was seventh in the meet, winning the pole vault, taking second in the broad jump, and running in the relay. Harvey Anderson took third in the 2:20, third in the relay, and ran the final lap of the relay. Eugene Hermann took second in the mile, aitei a sensational lace with Simmons of Coquille. Ovid Herve.v and Edwin Keltner. both of whom were figured as sure-point winners, wrere sick and unable to compete. They will help us win the meet again next year.

The fog sweeps in and settles down. Tis early morn at Myrtle Town. The school bell rings its warning clear. And the school-child’s greeting shout we hear; While the farmer makes his usual round, Then hastens off to Myrtle Town. The house-wife paces to and fro, And the sun warms the earth with a radiant glow. The birds sing gaily from heights profound— The ancient steeples of Myrtle Town. The shadows lengthen on the near-by hill, At least the valley seems vaguely still, ’Tis only seemingly for the outlaw hound, Just now broke the quiet of Myrtle Town. With darkness the sky is quickly o’er cast, The last reminder of day is past. The ardent lover is homeward bound. For night creeps fast on Myrtle Town. The wayward maiden at. her casement tower. Pushes back her hair, and awaits the hour. They speak in whispers, then not a sound, There should be peace at Myrtle Town. The rushing waters round the bend, The moon pales and the street lights blend. But lo, the flying wheels roll round There is no rest for Myrtle Town.

Pagre Fifty-four idling £ rrmrr It has been said that every man is a Salesman. This is true since every man must sell to the world some measure of service in one line or another. It matters not if he be statesman, poet, doctor, preacher, farmer or woodsman; he sells his Service in his special line—and he is worth to the world just what his Service is worth, be it much or little. There are just two kinds of Business men. One seeks to Get all he can for his goods, regardless of value, cost or satisfaction. The other seeks to Give all he can for his customer’s money with an earnest desire for his interest and with a sincere wish to please and give that solid satisfaction on which every truly successful business must rest. It is his delight to give a little more for your money, or a little better service than he has been able to do in the past. It used to be counted good business to get all you can for the goods—to sell something that you knew your customer did not want and would not be satisfied with. But more and more the Golden Rule is becoming the rule of business; more and more men are learning that there is only one way, and that is to give to every man a real and lasting service—full value in return for what you take. We are here to SERVE—To give you the greatest measure of value we can for your money. Your Satis- faction means Our Success. Unless we can satisfy you and bring you back over and over again we must, eventually, fail. Not how much can we Get, but how much can we Give? is our motto. We thank you one and all for your liberal patronage and hope to be able in the future to serve you better than we have thus far. With best wishes for all, we are.

The hero renounces a fortune rather than marry for gold and goes to work in the mills. But romance pursues him there, and the girl he loves proves to be the heiress in disguise. Several fine bits of comedy help to enliven the play. Several selections were given by the Girls’ Glee Club, and a number of special features helped to make the program a success in every way. Glee Club A pleasant surprise at the Annual Program was the showing of the Freshmen Girls’ Glee Club. Certainly their singing compared well with that of the clubs of previous years, and we are sorry it was too late to get their picture for the annual. Their repertoire included several well-known favorites, and the girls’ singing was of a quality in keeping with that of the selections rendered. We are eagerly looking forward to hearing them again at Commencement time. Miss Paterson, their instructor, will have charge of the high school glee clubs next year and expects also to organize an orchestra. The showing of the freshmen girls indicates that music lovers of Myrtle Point can look forward to a real treat.

More than $150,000 will be spent in new construction. This construction is necessary to meet the ever increasing demand of the growing population, as well as commercial and industrial enterprises using its service. The Telephone Company must expand to keep pace with this growth or these enterprises and these communities cannot forge ahead. Forward is the movement of Southwestern Oregon and Northwestern California; forward is the movement of the Coos and Curry Telephone Company and forward is the movement of the progressive people who have confidence in the growth of the unlimited resources throughout this section.

As he passed a tastefully decorated stall the pretty saleswoman detained him. “Won’t you buy a cigarette holder?” she asked. “No, thank you, I don’t smoke.” was the reply. “Or a pen wiper, worked by my own hands?” “I don’t write.” Then do have this nice box of chocolates.” “I don’t eat sweets,” The young woman’s patience was exhausted. “Sir,” she said grimly, “Will you buy this box of soap?” The young man paid up.

Page Seventy-four The Home is the Center of All of Life’s Activities For here truly is the Center of all Home Happiness— where the family gather to glean the good that a Home can give, Here it is that guests come to share with us in the joys of a Happy Home, and here it is that the man of the house comes for rest and quiet after the day’s labor, with a Lamp, a Book, and a Pipe. Better Homes are of vital importance to the American Nation. Remember the foundation of Happiness lies within its threshold, and to make it more comfortable, attractive, cheerful, and livable—Should te the aim of all. How near does your home come to meeting the needs imposed upon it? Is it the refining influence on the minds of your children that you would have it be? Do you take pride in having your friends come and enjoy it? Perhaps all that is needed is a thorough re-arranging, or a re-decoration of the walls and windows, the addition of a “Modern Davenport,” some Easy Chairs, or perhaps a Period Dining Suite. We have had several years experience in furnishing Homes and would feel it a great honor to ( help plan and furnish yours. “WE MAKE A HOME OUT OF A HOUSE” Henry A.
