SENIORS SIR SENIOR’S CONQUEST Scenes in Act I, II, and III are in Red Castle Learning; Act IV is in White Castle Learning, both are situated near the foot of Mt. Success. A space of nine months lapses during each act with a lapse of three months time between. ACT I A number of little Green Pages struggled up the steps of King Spiess’s Castle Learning to begin their self appointed task of becoming Knights. They had sixteen obstacles to conquer before they could obtain their Knighthood, but they were undaunted. Their first allotment, which was a difficult one, was to seek for and obtain the amity of four men who were never friends to those who did not earn their friendship. General Science and Sir A1 Gebra became their faithful allies, and King English I and the ancient old giant Histori also proved firm friends after they had accomplished the tasks the four men had set for them. ACT II The Green Pages were forced to run the gauntlet of the Squires before they became Red Pages, but they emerged from the experience as cheerful and optimistic as ever. When the time came for the annual search for the Debate cup, it was two little Red Pages that helped to bring home the treasure. They entered many other activities and overcame more of the allotted obstacles before the year was at an end. ACT III The third year, Prince Linn was crowned King, and the Red Pages became Squires. A few became discouraged and were dropped, but others took the places of those who were gone, and the courageous Squires struggled through the tasks onward to attain their goal of Knighthood and thence to the Pinnacle of Success. ACT IV The passing of another year found them Knights with rose colored garments and armor of gray. They had worked hard and achieved much—now they were capable of conquering the giants and dragons that beset them as they journeyed up the Path of Life. Their only guide was Theory, but they will soon have two others. Practice and Experience, who will help them onward. As they passed through the Gate of Graduation and started on their upward climb—those who remained, heard them encouraging each o'.her with these words— “NOT ON THE HEIGHTS. BUT CLIMBING.” Page Five WILDA BARKER—“Accuracy first, then speed.” Class Secretary 1; Glee Club 3; Operetta 3; “Dodg.ng An Heiress” 2; “Arrival of Kitty 3; “Adam and Eva” 4; Class Secretary-Treasurer 3; Ass’t Editor Myrtle Leaf 3; Editor Myrtle Leaf 4; Student Body secretary 4; Typing team 3-4; Debate 4; The Pointer Staff 3-4; Delegate to U. of 0.

Page Twelve Class of ’26. A DIARY May 1—At last my trunks are packed, and I am almost ready to start on my long anticipated trip in my new James Airship. Norman sold me the first model he manufactured. I’m sure I won’t enjoy the trip by myself—but I can’t decide who to take with me. May 2—Here’s a perfect inspiration—I can ask all my old classmates if they’d care to go. We ought to have a reunion anyway. I’ll call Ovid, our class president, then he’ll find the rest. I remember now that he was disappointed in love when he was a senior, and is a lonesome wealthy bachelor. Perhaps I won't die an old maid after all. Well, we’re companions in distress, that’s something we have in common. May 3—Ovid located all of them, some of the guests have already arrived. I wasn't surprised when Senator Wagner and his wife Geraldine arrived, nor when Reverend Wagg appeared. I had always expected that Geraldine and Brick would marry and that Sanford would become a minister, but my real surprise came when the maid announced Mr. and Mrs. John Dickson, and John with the girl that used to be Josephine Wilson walked into the room. 2 p. m.—More guests arriving all the time—we’re having the time of our lives. Everyone exclaims over the change in everyone else. 1 surely feel elated over my bevy of important friends. Dr. Margaret Shores, who is now a very famous heart specialist (she has a huge practice), says that she’ll give her medical advice to all of us during the trip. Wilda Barker came a few minutes ago. I can hardly realize that she is the World’s Champion Typist, but it’s true. 7 p. m.—Norman James just arrived and has consented to pilot my airship for me. The air mail brought some letters and more guests: Dena Mast—Instructor of Physical Education at U. of O.; Eugene Hermann—famous comedian in cinema; Robert Redell, football coach at University of Wisconsin; Milton Schroeder, Professor at O. A. C.: and Helen Russell, who is accompanist for Jeritza. I received a letter from William Ladd saying that he had too many important law cases ahead to be able to come, but he offered advice about domestic troubles to his old classmates free of charge. Florence Felsher’s letter asked us to meet her and Lena Wallen in Paris. Florence is dancing there now, and Lena is one of Paris’s most eminent dress designers. I always get my most expensive gowns from her. Another letter was from Ardyce Clinton, saying that she was too busy to come. Just think. Ardyce is one of New York’s foremost bankers. It does seem impossible, I know, but still—nothing was ever impossible for any of us. Page Thirteen May 4—Maybell with seventeen children arrived early this morning. She hasn’t changed a bit in regard to her talkativeness. I remember that she was always extremely fond of children, but 1 never thought that she’d aspire to be ta matron of an orphan’s home. Aileen Barker, who is among the world’s promising novelists, and Bob Ladd, who is acting in the screen version of “Adam and Eva,” came with Maybelle. Ovid hasn’t heard from Vern i McNair, Edwin Keltner, or Rodney Davenport yet—1 suppose we’ll have to start without them. Those children of Maybell’s make so much noise I can scarcely hear myself think. May 5—Marvels will happen, really, I’m not fully recovered from the surprise and shock yet. Just before we started this morning—a very beautiful, slender, and well dressed woman appeared. We watched her as she walked up the driveway, but no one recognized her, and we wondered who it could be, until the butler announced—Verna McNair! She told us that she had become beautiful from her invention of freckle ai d reducing cream—she said it worked on her, whv not on everyone else. She became wealthy as well as beautiful. Paul McNair came with her, he’s one of the city of Myrtle Point’s most successful shoe manufacturers. Miy 6—I wouldn’t let anyone know it for anything—but I’ve just ordered one hundred bottles of Verna’s freckle cream. If it works on me, it would work on anyone else. Everyone has chosen his room and we are well on our way to Paris. My airship is larger than my house and has more rooms, so we have more than enough floor space. May 7—Ovid and Verna are very ill. I believe they have the malady that is called “love-at-first-sight.” Reverend Wagg is silently anticipating the time that he will have “his hand crossed with silver.” We stopped in Paris long enough for Florence and Lena to come oa board. Nothing else happened today. May 8—When I glanced over the newspaper this morning, I saw these headlines— J. WILLIAM LADD CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AVIATOR SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING MARS RETURNS WITH MARTIAN BRIDE —and I went on to read that Edwin Keltner, a young and daring aviator, after many unsuccessful attempts, had finally reached Mars, to return with a very beautiful Martian maiden for his wife. Now, I understand why we hadn’t heard from him. Well—I don’t blame him. Page Fourteen May 9—Aileen has begun a book about the adventures we are having during our trip—she’ll probably become famous when it’s published. Why not? We’re a famous class. Dena gives us physical exercise every morning—Dr. Margaret Shores keeps us in good health—and Robert Ladd, Florence, and Eugene Hermann keep us entertained—we were indeed fortunate to have such a variety. If variety is the “spice of life,” we certainly have lots of spice. May 10—More spice! Verna and Ovid have broken their engagement. Besides that we had a real adventure this morning. Our airship came to rest just over a city in Japan, and we were peacefully gazing at the scenery below, when Geraldine sighted John Dickson helplessly floating around below us on the motor wings that Norman had invented for life savers. We could see that he had lost control, but before we reached him, he began to experiment with the wheels and suddenly shot up above us so fast that our large ship couldn’t keep up with him. We had almost reached him when a large plane from above swooped down to pick him up. Much to our surprise we found that it was Edwin and his young bride who were returning to Mars. We told John that he had better learn to operate it before he tried it again. May 11—Since Ovid has seen Marta, the Martian maiden, he has firmly decided to return with Edwin to Mars. Nothing could shake his determination. He says it’s worth di ing for in the attempt. He certainly has the knack of falling out of love faster than he can fall in. May 12—We’ve covered every inch of the globe in our trip and had lots of fun doing it. Helen must return to play at the immense lecture hall in Myrtle Point, where Alethea Barklow is holding a series of lectures on “Husband Welfare.” We shall all stop to hear her. We’ve seen many strange sights, but when we saw a number of little scurrying white objects running from all corners of a huge range we saw below us, to form a moving body of letters—CLASS OF ’26— we decided that it was by far the strangest. Someone was frantically waving to us, and upon closer inspection we found that it was Rodney Davenport who was so excitedly waving, and the white moving body of letters was his trained chickens! May 13—There’s nothing more that is interesting to write about now, since everyone is gone. No matter, everyone was left at his home with the promise of another class reunion sometime in the future—that’s something to look forward to. Who knows what wonderful places we will hold in the world by that time? We shall look forward to that time with much pleasure and anticipation. (To be continued at the next reunion) Page Fifteen JUNIORS JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Dear readers of the Annual: This is just a short letter to tell you the history of the Junior Class of 1926. We entered high school in twenty-three, and it was said we were the smartest class that had passed out of grammar school. We felt pretty proud of ourselves and endeavored to keep up the good record. During our three years in high school, we stood high in school activities. Several boys made the football and basket ball team and received letters. Some of our girls also received letters in basket ball. We were not only good in athletics, but several in our class, each year, were on the honor roll, so we feel justified in closing with one of our favorite sayings— “Of our opportunities we’ve made the most, Oh, horrors, no: We Juniors never boast, But we always keep the golden rule. And really, we’re the best in school.” ---------:o:---------- Page Seventeen CLASS OF ’27 COLORS: Blue and Gold FLOWER: White Carnation MOTTO “Not on the heights but climbing.” OFFICERS Elbert Schroeder .

We were given one of the rooms down stairs, which was not very pleasant, but we were glad we didn’t have to go to the Freshmen assembly again. The first sophomore meeting was called to order by Francis Kelt-ner who was the vice-president of the freshman class last year. The following class officers were elected: Francis Keltner, president; Truman Hartley, vice-president; Ellis Widby, secretary-treasurer; (At the beginning of the second semester Ellis became a junior, so Edith Mecum was elected to take his place.) Gale Abbott, sergeant-at-arms; Shirley Carter, council representative; and Mrs. Cooley, class advisor. On October 24, we gave a freshman initiation party which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. The class is very proud of the fact that Francis Keltner and Shirley Carter received football letters. Our class was well represented on the basketball teams also. The members w'ho made the teams were: Vera McCulloch, the girls’ team, and Francis Keltner and Shirley Carter, the boys’ team. The members of the sophomore class have done their best to make the school proud of them and will do the same next year when they enroll as juniors. -:o:- Page Tivonty-ono CLASS OF ’28 COLORS: Blue and Gold FLOWER: Violet MOTTO “Abnormis Sapiens” Gale Abbot Elsie Axe William Baker Shirley Carter Clarence Carrick William Donald William Forrest Audrey Hamilton Alma Harris Truman Hartley Naomi Hermann Chester Hossman Kermit Hayes Clifton James Francis Keltner Alice Lyle Knight Madge Lakey Calea Marsters Kent Marsters Vera McCulloch Karama McRay Edith Mecum Mitchell Myers Maxine Nelson Geo'-ge Parker Agnes Parrish Willie Ramsey Charles Southmayd Alice Train Frank True Willie Page Twenty-two Advisor Mrs. Cooley FRESHMEN FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshman class comprises more than one third of the student body. When first we found ourselves inside the high school building, we did not know what to do, of course, and had some difficulty in finding our classes, but soon we learned where to go. Several weeks later we moved to the new Union High School and had to locate our class rooms again. The freshmen were not the only ones who got lost, however, for the building was strange to all. At our first class meeting in the fall we elected Chester Hosman, president; Mitchell Myers, vice president; Audrey Hamilton, secretary-treasurer; and Render Reynolds, council representative. Miss Coe wts chosen as advisor. When the midyear “frosh” entered, we elected officers again. Those elected were: president, Avolia Baker; vies president, Elsie Kelly; secretary-treasurer, Jacqueline Holloway; sergeant-at-arms, Mable Hall; and council representative, DeLoss Druliner. Several weeks after school started we were honored with an initiation party. Later we gave the school a return party which was held at the new High school auditorium. We were well represented in the athletic activities of the school this year. Virgil Smith received a football letter and several members of the class were out for basket ball. We hope to be well represented in track also. Our year has been full of pleasure and study and we feel that it has been a success. We are looking forward to our sophomore yen-hoping that it may be even better.

William Ladd was elected president; Elbert Schroeder, vice president; and Evelyn McPherson, secretary-treasurer. The Junior Chamber of Commerce has tried to create a closer relationship between the business men and the school. In the early part of the year it intended to carry on some project, but, due to unforeseen incidents it was unable to accomplish its plans. Towards the last of the semester everyone was so pressed with work that the organization was unable to do as much as it would have liked to do. :o: Page Twenty-eight Edwin Keltner William Lidd Leland Wagner Norman James Officers ....

Alice Nosier was elected president but, as she moved away soon after her election, Maybelle Dey was chosen to fill her place. All girls attending high school are members of the Girls’ League. The governing body is the Girls’ League Council composed of the officers and delegates from each class. Every third Friday the girls have a meeting and a short program in which outside speakers take part as often as possible. A committee of girls is appointed each week to take flowers to the hospitals and to homes where there is illness. When the new Freshman entered school in January, each girl was given a “big sister” from the senior or junior class, who was to help her all she could. At the Valentine party each “big sister” acted as the “Man” and escorted her little sister to the party.

At this meeting the officers were elected. Genevieve Clarke was chosen president, Isabelle Bryant, vice president, and Elsie Kelly, secretary and treasurer. As Genevieve Clarke moved away shortly after Glee Club was organized Florence Felsher was chosen President. Rules were adopted as to attendance, etc. It was decided to drop anyone from the class who was absent or tardy three times without a satisfactory excuse. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week were chosen as the regular practice days. The girls appeared in various entertainments. They sang at the Presbyterian church Easter Sunday, for the Parent-Teacher Association, and a number of times before the Assembly. There were thirty six girls enrolled when the class was organized but for various reasons some of the girls were unable to continue. The girls remaining with the class, throughout the term are: Alethea Barklow Avolia Baker Verna Barklow Isabelle Bryant Vesta Crunk Florence Felsher Adeline Gurney Audrey Hamilton Jacqueline Holloway Lvla Holloway Fay LaBranche Elsie Kelly Zona Kelly Leona Massie Leta Rackleff Helen Russell Mildred Russell Charlotte Robinett Maxine Nelson Dacie Sperry Thelma Snyder Beneva Volkmar Geraldine Watzling Josephine Wilson Page Thirty-one SENIOR CO-EDS The first meeting of the Senior Co-Eds was held November 19, 1925. in the main study hall. Geraldine Watzling was elected president, Minnie Ramsey, vice president, and Lena Wallen, secretary and treasurer. Alethea Barklow was later given the office of vice president as Miss Ramsey left school at the end of the first .semester. The work of this organization has been related, for the most part, to those things pertaining to the commencement exercises. It has been the custom in former years for the girls of each class to organize separately, but with the advent of the Girls’ League they have consolidated into the one large group. :o: ORCHESTRA The orchestra was organized at the beginning of the term with Miss Wikberg, who has charge of music in the grammar school, as conductor. It was composed of both high school and grammar school students. The first public appearance of the orchestra was at the Junior Play, where they played several selections. In the spring they were forced to disband because of Miss Wik- berg’s ill health. Every one considered the orchestra a success. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: P ano ............................... Karama McRay and Helen Russell Violin ..............................

Edith Mecum Helen Whitaker The Myrtle Leaf Staff is an organization which publishes the High School Paper, “The Myrtle Leaf,” which is given a page in the town paper, “The Coos County American.” This organization has existed about three years. An Exchange Editor has been added to the staff this year for the first time and the Myrtle Leaf is sent to several different schools. About ten papers are received each week in exchange for it. Some of the most interesting articles from these exchange papers are published in the “Myrtle LeaF’ every week. The Editor-in-Chief of the staff is usually chosen from the Senior class and the assistant editors from the Junior. The other members of the staff are chosen from any class. Page Thirty-four TYPING TEAM The typing team for the year 1926 is composed of: Senior division, Wilda Barker and Margaret Shores; Junior division, Bernice Davenport and William McLennan. Two preliminary contests were held with Coquille for practice, before the county contest. For the second time Myrtle Point brought home the loving cup and the county championship. The team which was victorious in 1925 included Lyla Holloway, Agnes Deyoe, Wilda Barker, and Hugo Gurney. This year Bernice Davenport won first in the beginners’ division and Wilda Barker placed second in the second year class. The greatest honor achieved by the team was their place in the State Typing Contest which was held at Corvallis on April 17. Myrtle Point placed first in accuracy in the state, second in speed in both advanced and junior divisions. In the advanced division. Wilda Barker made 71 words per minute, and in the junior division, Bernice Davenport wrote 55 words oer minute. This gave Myrtle Point second place in the state and entitled them to a large banner and a loving cup.

Page Thirty-six At the first tryout, which was held in October, the following were chosen for the squad: Aileen Barker, William Ladd, Rodney Davenport, Leland Wagner, Wilda Barker, and Clarence Carrick. Miss Coe was the coach for both teams. A change was necessitated because of the illness of one of the debaters, which weakened the Myrtle Point team, as the debaters had not enough time to readjust themselves to the different sides of the question. The question for debate was: Resolved, that the convention system formerly in use is preferrable to the present direct primary election law in Oregon. On February 12, our negative team, Wilda Barker and Leland Wagner, met Bandon’s affirmative team at Bandon, and won the decision by a vote of 3 to 0. On the same evening our affirmative team, Aileen Barker and Rodney Davenport, met Coos River’s negative team here, but lost the decision by a vote of 2 to 1. As North Bend won both decisions, 3 to 0, and 2 to 1, we had to give our debate cup to them, but we feel sure that we will be fortunate enough next year to see it again. Page Thirty-seven “ADAM AND EVA” The Senior Class 6f 1926 presented “Adam and Eva.” a three-act comedy, by Guy Bolton and George Middleton, May 14, 1926.

Adam forces the family to work by telling them Mr. King is financially ruined. After making a success of bee culture and chicken raising, Adam and Eva decide to be partners for life, even after Eva has found out that her father is not ruined, but that it has only been one of Adam’s schemes to make the family work. Page Thirty-eight The play, which was presented January 30 at the Union High School Auditorium, was given under the auspices of the Junior Class. Selections by the School Orchestra were given between acts for the entertainment of the audience. Much amusement was afforded the audience by the four green country hicks. The cast of characters was as follows: Mrs. Martyn ... Mr. Wheeler Mrs. Wheeler Bobby Wheeler Cora Wheeler . Violet Pinney Clarence ...... Della ......... Dinwiddie ..... Hubert Stem .... Elese Cutler Waldo Hartley ... Crystal Guerin ... Donald Adams Adeline Gurney Libyan LaBranche William Hulet Mildred Russell Elbert Schroeder ... Edward Forrest Synopsis “Clarence” is a comedy in four acts written by Booth Tarkington. It is the story of a soldier whose place in the industrial world was Page Thirty-nine taken by his former associate when he returns from active service. Rather than displace his comrade, Clarence seeks new employment. This is difficult in the period of readjustment after the war. Finally he finds a place in the Wheeler home. Mr. Wheeler, a well-to-do man of affairs, is harassed by a family which brings him many worries; Mrs. Wheeler, a superficial type of woman; a daughter Cora; who is over-enthusiastic about everything; and a son Bobby, who is a general care. The story follows Clarence through his experiences in the Wheeler family. All the women, to the maid in the home, become infatuated with Clarence and his charming manner, which causes much disturbance in the family circle. All ends happily, however, when Clarence falls in love with Cora’s governess, and the family circle is left, once more, in peace and harmony. ---------:o:--------- Papre Forty ANNUAL BENEFIT PROGRAM In order to raise sufficient funds for the editing of the “Pointer” all classes and societies in the Union High helped to put on an annual benefit program. The program was as follows: four vaudeville acts, one by each of the following: Billet Dancers by Freshmen Girls. Negro Minstrels by Juniors. Skit by Glee Club. Senior Class Orchestra by Seniors. Numerous booths were put up by the various societies among which were: The Postoffice, by Girl’s League; The Mystery Den, by Junior Chamber of Commerce; Fortune Telling, by Senior Co-Eds; Hot dog stand, by students; Shooting Gallery, by Annual Staff. The Ballet Dancers won first prize, which was a large box of candy. -------------------------------:o:---------- Pafre Forty-one MAY FETE Maytime in all its splendor was revealed in the May Fete which was held in the auditorium the evening of April thirtieth. The feature of the evening was the crowning of the May Queen, Florence Felcher, who was elected by the student body to take the part together with Maybelle Dey and Geraldine Watzling, her attendants. The Herald announced each who entered and unveiled the theme of the dances in that Youth was dissatisfied for she had no queen. Each season with its accompanying months danced before Youth amid colored lights which displayed the charms of the dancers and the chosen one Spring, who became the Queen. The frisky Bunnies, jolly Sailors, and Rainbow girls were quite picturesque, also the various folk dances with their appropriate national costume. Each gym class put on two folk dances and the final display of festivity was the winding of the Maypole with its pink and green streamers by sixteen girls dressed in pink and green “Boy Peep” costumes. Pape Forty-two SOCIETY Freshman Reception On October 24th the Freshman Reception party was given by the Sophomores in the Woodman Hall. The other classes were invited, and the initiation process was enjoyed by everyone (except the Frosh.) After this was over a variety of games which added to the fun and good spirit of those present were played. ------:o:------- Freshman Return Party November 21 the Freshmen gave a return party in the high school auditorium and invitations were extended to the other classes and to the faculty. This was the first school party given in the new building and everyone enjoyed it to the fullest extent. ---------: o:------ Junior Class Party The Junior Class party, which was given in the high school auditorium was a great success. Nearly all of the Juniors and faculty attended and everyone participated in the numerous games which were played. ------:o:------- Sophomore Class Party The Sophomore Class party was given February 25 in the auditorium. Interesting games were played, and refreshments were served. The party closed with everyone declaring they had spent a very delightful evening. --------:o:------- Girl’s League Social The Girls’ League gave a Valentine-Gypsy party at the high school auditorium, February 26. A prize, which was a heart-shaped box of Page Forty-three candy, was awarded to Mildred Russell and Lois Ray for being the most cleverly dressed couple present. Many interesting games were played, and the idea of a fairies-flight was carried throughout the evening. About ten o’clock refreshments were served which concluded the program for the evening. ------:o:------ Farewell Party A farewell party was given for Alice and Bryce Nosier by the senior class at the Nosier home. It was nearly eleven o’clock before everyone arrived. After a variety of interesting games were played refreshments were served. Everyone left about twelve o’clock. ------:o:-------- Football Dance The Phoenix Club, composed of ten Senior girls gave a dance at Woodman Hall for the football boys. A radio furnished the music except a few times when Barton Stemmier played. Punch was served as refreshment. -:o:- Page Forty-four “AG” CLUB This is the first year for the Smith-Hughes agricultural course to be given in our high school. We feel that we are fortunate in being one of the twenty-seven high schools in the state to offer a course of this kind. Besides the practical knowledge we receive in agriculture, we have the opportunity to obtain practical experience in farm projects. Five boys have projects composed of registered Poland China gilts that were shipped from Salem in January, four have 100 to 250 White Leghorn or Rhode Island White chicks; two have planted certified seed potatoes that were shipped from the Portland Seed Company, while four others have planted half an acre of home grown seed potatoes, one has half an acre of seed corn, another half an acre of beans, and three have Dairy Herd Record Keeping projects. The local Commercial Club is supporting the project work by giving the four boys doing the best work in their projects a free trip to the State Fair next September. The projects will be shown at the county fair with their records. 0 Three days during the week we have farm shop which is composed of building construction, surveying, mechanical drawing, and cabinet work for the advanced class; and soldering, harness work, rope work, and regular shop construction work, such as making wheel bar-rows, bee hives, step ladders, tables, and ironing boards, for the first year class. A display of all the articles made during the year was shown in Huling and Lundy’s Hardware store, and prizes were given in the form of tools for the best article exhibited. ---------:o:--------- Pa;rc Forty-five OUR COACHES WILNA MANLY U. of O. Page Forty-seven Pa ?o Flirty-eight Hartley—Guard and Half W. Ladd—Center C. Janies—End and Guard Carter—Tackle Schroeder—End R. Ladd—Half Davenport—Center F. Keltner—Tackle N. James—End Hervey—Half Redell—Guard E. Keltner—Fullback Nosier—Quarter Smith—Half Coach Lever FOOTBALL FOR 1925 October 3—Coquille at Myrtle Point As this was our first encounter of the season no one knew the power M. P. H. S. really had behind it. When a score of 22 to 0 was reached the outlook for the Red and Blue as gridiron contestants seemed extremely bright. October 16—Myrtle Point at Bandon Bandon seemed to hold some mystery in store for the Myrtle Pointers, so we were a long way from over-confident when the first whistle sounded. However, Captain Nosier felt of their line three times and made his yardage, and before long the goal was converted by Edwin Keltner. Robert Ladd had the misfortune to break a finger, and an undrilled man was substituted in his place, but the never-failing Bobcats did not fail. The final score was Myrtle Point 35, Bandon 0. October 21—North Bend at Myrtle Point M. P. H. S. met North Bend on the horn field, but in spite of the football fight and stamina of the Bobcats they were defeated by North Bend’s heavy eleven. Though they won 9 to 6, it couldn’t be’ considered a gift, because they had to fight for all they got. October 31—Myrtle Point at Coquille Coquille High was defeated for the second time by M. P. H. S. “Never fail” Wilson failed to make his yardage time after time, but this didn’t win the game. It was the co-operation of the Myrtle Point eleven and their coach, Nosler’s speed and accuracy, Keltner’s superior ability to punch the line, and the eager rooting section on the sidelines which made the final score 13 to 7 for Myrtle Point High. November 6—Junction City at Myrtle Point The Bandon game was to be played here on this date, but, for some reason unknown to us, it was forfeited,making the score 2 to 0. Myrtle Point invited Junction City to our battle grounds, more for practice for the hard games which were to come than for a real battle. A score of 105 to 0 was the Bobcats’ reception for the plucky little visiting team that didn’t lack in spirit and fight even in the last minutes of the game. November 13—Myrtle Point at North Bend For the second time this year Myrtle Point High met North Bend with a firm determination to even or square up things which had happened in the preceding game. This was one of the most exciting games of the season. It was played November 13, thirteen men were used in the game, and a score of 13 to 7 was gained by the Myrtle Point Bobcats. November 21—Marshfield at Myrtle Poin Marshfield with one tie game hanging over them journeved to Myrtle Point this Saturday to make fast the ch mpionshiD for 1925. This was the greatest football game ever staged at Myrtle Point. It was in this game that Nosier completed the most thrilling run of the season when he covered 85 vards for a touchdown with the whole Marshfield team in hot pursuit. With the less of E. Keltner at the opening of the third quarter the fighting Bobcats went down in deafat to a score of 18 to 20. Page Forty-nine FOOTBALL PERSONALS Nosier—Quarter Nosier, although one of the smallest men in the county, can only be compared to the famous “Red” Grange in speed and elusiveness. More than once this All-County quarter has brought the Red and Blue through some extremely important crises. E. Keltner—Fullback A member of the mythical All-County eleven for the past two seasons, E. Keltner, our plunging fullback, is recognized as being without a superior in the gentle art of plunging lines and effectively stopping any and all opponents. Clark—Tackle Although handicapped by sickness the greater part of the season, whenever able to get into the line-up, Clark proved himself to be one of the best tackles in the conference. Redell Guard “Bob” Redell was the unanimous choice of the coaches as one of the All-County guards for this season. In every play, fighting until the final gun, “Bob” had a big share in putting the Myrtle Point eleven as near the top as it was. W. Ladd—Center W. Ladd started the season at center, but was later shifted to a backfield position, because of the sickness of several of the regular halves. Alternating between center and half, “Bill” proved to be one of the season’s most valuable finds. Davenport—Center By intensive training and a great fighting spirit, R. Davenport earned a most enviable reputation for himself as one of Myrtle Point’s best centers. “Toad” was in every play and seldom did any opponent come through center. R. Ladd—Half With a combination of speed and fight, “Bob” was considered one of our best offensive halves. He had the misfortune to have a finger Page Fifty broken in the second game of the season and only returned to the squad in time to contribute a great deal in the championship game with M. H. S. Carter—Tackle Shirley Carter is a sophomore playing his first year for the “Bobcats. “Rip” is going strong, his style of play is seldom surpassed or equalled by high school athletes. We are expecting some great work as a varsity man when Carter enters Oregon. F. Keltner—Tackle A sophomore with two stripes to his credit “Frannie” is on the road to a four year letterman’s berth. Combined weight and fight make him a player of whom much may be expected in the future. N. James—End Much credit is due “Spud” for the success the team has gained this season. Intensive training and a great fighting spirit has made him an end of great ability. Hartley—Guard and Half Hartley has one more year at Myrtle Point High in which to again bring the team safely through some extremely tight places. Beginning the season in the line, Waldo was later shifted to a backfield position, and did some great work at his new job. Much is to be expected of him in his senior year. Hervey—Half Making up for his deficiency in size by speed and fight, “Chauncy” won a position as a regular, until forced to quit the game on account of sickness. In every play every minute, Hervey is to be remembered as one of Myrtle Point’s best football men. Schroeder—End Unable to play at the beginning of the season on account of the mumps, “Shrimp” came back in time to prove himself one of the season’s best ends. Already a two-year letterman, Schroeder can be expected to do more great work next year. C. James—End and Guard Although not a regular, “Cliff,” whenever called upon to fill a gap, performed like a veteran and well earned his first stripe. Smith—Half The only Freshman to receive a letter this year was Smith, one of the speediest men on the squad. With three more years of competition, “Smithy has a wonderful chance to become an All-County Half. Subs In order to produce a winning combination, a second team is absolutely necessary. Only a few of the boys seemed to realize this and “stuck it out” through the entire season. Those who deserve honorable mention in this respect are: William Donald. William Hulet, and William Forrest. Page Fifty-one BASKETBALL To some extent a recounting of the exploits of Myrtle Point High in basketball this year would be very similar to the year of football. This season, under a new coach, a new system was introduced as a substitute for the style of play which had previously been used, and to which most of the men had become accustomed. Nevertheless the spirit that Coach Lever instilled in his “Bobcats” soon made itself apparent on the basketball court ar.d put M. P. U. H. S. near the top at the end of the season. Pre-season basketball ended with the annual inter-class tournament from which the Junior class five emerged victorious. The first game of the season was played on the home floor with Albany High school, which was considered one of the strongest of the valley teams. While the season may not, as a whole, be classed as successful, we feel that a great deal has been gained. Losing only three men from the entire squad, and with the same coach in charge, fans may well expect the “Bobcats” to come out on top in ’27. ---------:o:---------- THE SEASON’S SCORES Albany 39 Riverton 11 Coos River 17 Coouille 38 North Bend 32 Bandon 12 Marshfield 22 Page Fifty-two Myrtle Point 14 Myrtle Point 28 Myrtle Point 23 Myrtle Point 17 Myrtle Point 17 Myrtle Point 14 Myrtle Point 12 Marshfield 22 North Bend 13 Bandon 21 Coquille 22 Powers 7 Arago 22 Myrtle Point 14 Myrtle Point 5 Myrtle Point 11 Myrtle Point 15 Myrtle Point 22 Myrtle Point 32 BASKETBALL Interclass basketball heralded the opening of the girls’ basketball season this year. About thirty-five girls turned out to the scheduled practices before the inter-class contests. Many of the games were close, especially the final one between the Juniors and Seniors in which the Seniors emerged victorious by a margin of two points. Those making the Senior team were: Dena Mast and Alice Nosier forwards. Gerry Watzling and Lyla Holloway, centers, and Florence Felcher and Alethea Barklow, guards. From those that excelled in the class games of a squad was selected for inter-school competition. Throughout the season competition for places on the team was keen, particularly in the guard and center positions. Dena Mast, forward and Florence Felsher, guard, who was outstanding in her position, have earned their last stripes. Others who were particularly efficient in the various positions were: Libyan La- Branch. one of the mainstays in the forward position and Thelma Snyder, although not in the inter-school line-up, is a strong contender for the vacant berth in the forward position; Vera McCulloch and Jennie Luttrell, quick and accurate passers at side-center, Bernice Davenport. Page Fifty-three Gladys Tripp, and Avolia Baker, guards, who have acquitted themselves well in this season’s work and will be better next year. Isabelle Bryar.t, Hilda Fredenburg, and Zona Kelly, have proved their worth In the center position. The first game was with Riverton, an easy one that served to pep up the girls for the game the following week with Coquille. In this the odds were against us until the last quarter when the girls stormed the basket only a minute too late to emerge by a margin of a few points defeated. Undaunted, the girls sought revenge on North Bond and defeated them decisively in their best playing form of the season on the home floor. In the return game with North Bend, in spite of the slippery floor, Dena and Lillyan divided the honors each half in shooting baskets, bringing Myrtle Point to the top. To culminate the series, the last game was dropped to Coquille. Letters were awarded to two Seniors, Dena Mast and Florence Felsher; three Juniors, Lillyan LaBranch, Hilda Fredenburg and Gladys Tripp; and one Freshman, Avolia Baker. Although meeting with two defeats, both at the hands of Coquille. the girls have an enviable record as is shown by the comparative scores: Riverton 12 Myrtle Point 34 Coquille 31 Myrtle Point 27 North Bend 20 Myrtle Point 35 North Bend 20 Myrtle Point 29 Coquille 30 Myrtle Point 15 Total 109 MO -:o:- Page Fifty-four Coos County Track Meet May I 5 at Myrtle Point The annual Coos County track meet scheduled for May 8 was postponed until the following Saturday on account of weather conditions which made it impossible to have the track meet in proper condition. The result of the meet was not determined before this book went to press and it is impossible other than to make conjectures as to the probable result. As a glance at the results of the dual meets held with two of the leading county high schools will show, Myrtle Point has, indeed, a splendid chance to gain her third consecutive track and field championship. A little different system of getting young recruits for track this year was installed by Coach Lever. The eighth of March a meeting was held for all the boys and some facts regarding training rules were made clear by our Coach. The track turnout this year is the largest ever recorded at M. P. H. S., and though many unexperienced men are coming out regularly, this doesn’t mean we have no chance for the meet this year. We are expecting every man to give full account of himself on track meet day. We have with us only three letter men from last year. They are: Edwin Keltner, Ovid Hervey, and Waldo Hartley. Myrtle Point lost by graduation Clayton Mast, the greatest track man ever entered in high school meets of this counity. However strange it may seem to be out for track without having Clayton as the undisputed chief of the team, the Myrtle Point track contestants are doing wonderful work, and we want the world to know that our track team with Mr. Lever as coach is going to be heard from this season. Pajre Fifty-five From the showing Myrtle Point has made in the two dual meets held with Coquille and North Bend we believe our representatives in this branch of athletics are holding a little surprise in Store for the county. In the previous track seasons our points have been won by three or four men, but this year things are quite different. Our team will be about as equally balanced as that of any contesting school. M. P. H. S. has won two overwhelming victories in its dual meets this year. The first meet was with Coquille, in which Mvrlle Point succeeded in winning first and second in every race and many firsts in the field events. At the close of the day Myrtle Point scored 88 points to Coquille’s 33. The following Saturday a dual meet was scheduled with North Bend with practically the same results as in the Coquille meet. Mvrtle Point succeeded in taking all the track events and only lost three firsts in the field events. The score at the end of the day stood Myrtle Point, 8t points. North Ber.d, 40 points. In the field, where, until this year, we have always been weak, Hartley and Keltner are sure to bring down some firsts. On the track in the sprints. W. Ladd, Hervey, and Schroeder are expected to fill the first three places in most of the events in which thev enter. In the distance runs R. Ladd, William Hulet, and Leland Barklow will take firsts for M. P. H. S. The sprinting time made by the Myrtle Point men is much better than that made by any other runners in the county to this date. In the hundred yard dash W. Ladd’s time for this season is 10 3-5 seconds, while Marshfield’s man who has the next best time runs a hundred yards in 11 seconds. Hervey, last Saturday against North Bend, ran a 50-yard dash in 5 3-5 seconds while the next closest time in the county, 6 seconds, was made at Marshfield. The way experts figure it, Myrtle Point has a good chance to win the track meet this year and make Myrtle Point High the first school in the county to have won the track meets for three successive years. ----------:o:--------- Page Fifty-six JOKES Mrs. Lynn—“Philip has just eaten eleven plumbs!” Mr. Lynn—“Good Lord!
