Page Fifteen UNION HIGH SCHOOL When we, the Seniors of ’27, graduated from Grammar School we were said to be the smartest class that had graduated from that institution. We came to High school prepared to be friends with anybody and everybody so when we got here we received a warm welcome. As soon as we stepped in the door, the upper classmen receiv'd us with open arms, and we immediately made the acquaintance of the water faucet, and several good paddles. They said we were green and we often looked in the mirror but they must have been color-blind for we could not see that we were any greener than anybody else. When the next year came, and along with it a new group of Frosh, we did as we were done by, and also met them with open arms, and introduced them to the faucet and some paddles. We also gave a party in their honor which was a howling success on the part of the Frosh. Each year we have done our part in school, we had three members in our class who earned Basket Ball letters—Waldo Hartley, Elbert Schroeder, and DuFay Montgomery. We were also well represented in football as Kenneth Porterfield, Elbert Schroeder, Waldo Hartley and BuFay Montgomery earned football letters. The following Seniors also helped place Myrtle Point’s name on the Track Cup—William Hulet, Waldo Hartley, and Elbert Schroeder. Three Seniors were on the Typing Team—Bernice Haughton, William McLennan and Mildred Russell. We are leaving the school fully aware of the fact that we have profited immensely by our four years attendance in this institution. Page Sixteen MYRTLE POINT, OREGON We, the class of 1927, being of sound and superior mind and memory, and wishing to leave our earthly possessions in a stable and satisfactory condition so as to cause no difficulty after our departure, do hereby declare this our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave the task of caring for and watching over the underclassmen, with the sincere hope that they will be able to accomplish that task as well as we have before them. To the Student Body we leave everything that we can not take with us. I, Evelyn McPherson, will my place in Edyth’s affections to Gale Abbott. I, Gladys Culbertson, will my magic curlers (2 for 5c) to Elizabeth Kula on condition that she use them regularly. I, Frances Warner, will my formula for growing small to Mable Hall.

I, Zelia Tolman. leave mv conscience to some of the younger generation who are badly in need of the same. Pa 3 Seventeen UNION HIGH SCHOOL I. Elbert Schroeder, will my photo to the school as an example of a great man. I, Ena Christensen, will my willingness to oblige Miss Frazier, to Audrey Hamilton, in hopes it will be of use to her in the Commercial Room. I, Clarena Nelson, will the responsibility of caring for the little Hartleys left in school, to my sister Maxine. I, Dacie Sperry, will my love for gym to Irma Handerson. I, Edyth Schroeder, will my cherished seat in American History to anyone wishing it. I, Kenneth Porterfield, will my ability to inform Mr. Linn as to the whereabouts of missing delegates, to any one feeling capable of the responsibility. I, Mildred Russell, will my Rolls Royce to anyone who will promise to transfer the Frosh girls to all school activities. I, Ardath Dodson, will my ability to row a rowboat, to Opal Southmayd. I, Isabelle Bryant, will my ability to collect class dues to anyone financially embarrassed. I, Verna Barklow, will my position as the school’s angel child, to Vera McCulloch. I, Hilda Fredenburg, will my surplus face powder, paint and lipstick to Virginia Smith. I, Stanley Furman, will the responsibility of keeping the girls well supplied with life-savers and chewing-gum, to Truman Hartley. I, Katy Furman, leave my fondness for the opposite sex, to Elma Russell. I, Orlin Lett, leave that part of my dignity which I can spare, to be divided among certain members of the Sophomore class. Signed and sealed this 20th day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty seven, in our presence. Class of 1927, Witnesses: L. H. Pearce. Tom Guerin. -:o:- Page Eighteen MYRTLE POINT. OREGON = prophecy Dr. Elese Kaye Bumgartern, 882 Burwood Avenue, Melbourne, Australia. Dear Elese: Paris, Franee May 20, 1937 Do you realize that ten years ago today we were graduating from Myrtle Point Union High School? It seems that it was only yesterday we were receiving lectures from Professor Linn for chasing ghosts or marking on the walls in that dear old school building. Mrs. Waldo Hartley is visiting with me for the summer. Of course you remember Clarena and no doubt are as astonished as I was to hear that she and Waldo are married. To think of how fond she was of Norman and then to jilt him for his own brother. Waldo is a prominent broker and he and his wife are making their home in New York. Prepare yourself for a series of shocks for I have lots of information on the old bunch. Clarena knew just “oodles” about them. Du Fay is running for governor of New York and it is quite certain he will be successful. I always knew Du Fay would do something great. Ardath is private secretary to Henry Ford. He is getting very old and childish and has taken such a fancy to Ardath that he pays her enormous wages ar.d she lives like a woman of means should. I was so surprised to hear that Elmer and Verna were married. They are the most successful dancing team in the lime light of today. Shocks! Zelia eloped with a good-for-nothing shiek. I feel so sorry for her for they say he has never worked and that Zelia has to make the living for them both. She is singing in the Green Mill at Portland. Zelia was always so quiet and reserved so I can’t understand how she happened to fall so completely for a man of that kind. Hub and Bernice are living on a lovely farm just south of Portland. They seem to be as crazy over each other as they were when they were kids. Hazel, who as you know is here in Paris, is still single on account of her disappointing love affair. You remember Count Crankcase committed suicide because of her many admirers. She owns the Elite Shoppe, a very exclusive shop on Fourth street. Rev. Hulet is pastor of a prominent church in Seattle, where he is very esteemed and loved by all. He has married a Seattle girl who is Page Nineteen UNION hu;h school quite a butterfly and it is thought that Bill is very unhappy. While I am speaking of preachers I might add that our old friend Crystal Guerin, has a wonderful tabernacle in Los Angeles and converts hundreds at each service. She is said to be even greater than Aimee McPherson. Dear Frances joined a nunnery after breaking hundreds of hearts. I will not say much about her as you two were great friends and I know you feel very badly about her unhappy life. I was really sorry to learn that Hilda gave her engagement ring back to Rodney and married Elbert Schroeder and I think Hilda and Rodney were much better suited for Elbert was always fickle. I do hope he stays with her for she is of a loving nature and it would probably mean the death of her to have him untrue. Elbert is an undertaker in Greenland and his wife is one of the leading society women of that place. Katie is head of the English department in the high school from which we graduated. The old school now has an enrollment of over 800. Elton Aasen owns the largest logging camp in the Northwest and has a monopoly on all white cedar. Bill McLennan is now making use of his great salesmanship ability. He has worked up a very profitable business selling snow shoes to the natives in the Hawaiian Islands. He always was a wonder. Ena owns a large ranch in Texas and is still looking for her bow-legged, freckle-faced red-headed cowboy. Most likelv you remember the incident at Corvallis when she first fell for a man of that description. She has great faith in finding him some day. Dacie has given up her study of music just on the eve of becoming famous and she and Ellis are on their honeymoon in Ala-ka. After seven years in the Senate, Ellis has just succeeded in having his code of aeronautic traffic laws, passed by Congress. Our old classmate, vain and vanity stricken Margaret Luttrell, is a traveling salesman for toilet articles and beauty lotions. Kenneth Porterfield is a designer of women’s wearing apparel. He posses as a French Duke and of course this title brings him the trade of many notable people. Faye is doing research work in Africa, for Washington University. It seems she is cut out for this work for they say she has an instinct which leads her to the places where things of value may be unearthed. Adeline has become a famous movie star. She was on the stage for sometime but upon receiving a wonderful offer from Paramount, she signed a contract with them calling for wages of $5,000 a week. Thev say she’s wonderful in her latest picture, “The Dancing Doll.” Page Twenty MYRTLE POINT. OREGON Evelyn McPherson is practicing law in Boston. She has a large practice and has not lost a case so far. Edythe Schroeder is a woman of leisure. They say she never rises until four in the afternoon. She made millions of dollars by speculating in land at the South Pole. She is said to be very unhappy though for she is in love with a young man who will not marry her for fear people will think he is marrying for her money. Our old friend Stanley Furman is completing a canal in Nicaragua. The government considers him one of the most valuable men in their employment. Who would ever have thought, when we used to study about Nicaragua in History class, that one among our midst would finally build this proposed canal? Gladys Culbertson is on the stage now. She is an emotional actress and is considered by the critics to be one of the best in America. She is exquisitely slim and has a queenly carriage. Mildred Russell succeeded in swimming across the Hudson Bay, the first of November. She was the first person to ever accomplish this feat. She names the Wecoma baths as the place where she received her early training. Orlin Lett is a renowned author. His books are very popular and he is known all over the world. He has a charming estate at Bridge, where he does all of his writings. Clarena was so surprised to hear you had become a doctor. She said she always knew you were an awful cut-up but did not expect you to make that your profession. She was also surprised to learn I had married a famous artist. She knew I painted a little but did not know I would go so far along that line. Well I guess that is all of the old bunch. I wish you were here to visit with Clarena and me. My husband just came in with three tickets for the theater so I must be getting ready. Write soon and tell me if you have received any additional information on the class of “ ’27.” Love, Isabelle. -:o:- Pafre Twenty-one UNION HIGH SCHOOL (Hass Jv istory We entered High School as Freshmen in the “Old Brick’ building and nearly all of us have reached the Junior class. The class of '28 has a very prominent place in school activities. Over half of the football lettermen are members of this class. They are, Chester Hosman. William Forrest, Lyle Knight, Ca.-l Richert and William Donald, one stripe; Clifton James, Shirley Carter and Harold Carver, two stripes; and Francis Keltner, three stripes. Shirley Carter won his second letter in Basketball this year. We have been represented on the track team every year and expect to have more lettermen this season. Clarence Carrick and Francis Keltner won the affirmative side of the debate question this year, and the former has been chosen to represent the school in the oratorical contest. The Junior girls have also made a good showing in girls’ athletics. We have four members in the Honor Society, Alice Train, Francis Keltner, Clarence Carrick and Clifton James, which all goes to show that this class is not lacking in talent. The Junior class is trying to be a credit to the school and we believe we have been very successful. Page Twenty-two MYRTLE POINT. OREGON COLORS: Black and White FLOWER: Violet Shirley Carter ...

Every one, having gotten over the “scared stage,” seemed to be enjoying themselves to the fullest extent due to the fact that each of us was entertaining the idea that someone (Freshmen of course), was going to get the worst of it first thing he knew. Several weeks after school started we had the pleasure of “getting revenge” and consequently the “Frosh” suffered. The first Sophomore meeting was called to order by Avolia Baker and the following officers were elected: Avolia Baker, president; Virgil Smith, vice president; Thelma Snyder, secretary-treasurer; Golan Deitz, sergeant-at-arms; Leslie Barklow, council representative; and Miss Lounsberry, class advisor. We as sophomores are proud to state that we have been well represented in both football and basket ball. Our lettermen in football are: Virgil Smith and Durward Druliner; DeLoss Druliner and Virgil Smith received letters in basket ball. We are the happy possessors of bright prospects in track and hope to make the other classes sit up and take notice. We members of the Sophomore class feel that we have made every lick count and only look forward with vim and enthusiasm to the coming year. Page Twenty-six MYRTLE POrNT.

OREGON This year the freshman class is larger than it has ever been in the preceding years but they soon learned the customs of the school and from the beginning have shown great school spirit. A meeting was held to elect the class officers soon after school started. William Gurney was elected president, Marion Young, Vice-president, Lillian Cooper, secretary and treasurer, and Chrest Christensen, council representative. In the middle of the year when the new freshmen came in there was a re-election of officers. Marion Young was elected president, Robert Powrie, vice-president, Virginia Kelly, secretary and treasurer and Chrest Christensen was re-elected council representative. Throughout the year the freshman class has shown great determination and enthusiasm towards becoming better students and have taken part in many of the school activities. The boyc have shown up in athletics and one of the school debate teams was furnished by the class. After the initiation party a return party was given by the freshmen to the student body. They also gave the Thanksgiving program and the program for the Deep Sea Revel. Many good things are prophesied for the class in the future.

The county typing cup is now the permanent property of the school having been won each time since it was offered three years ago. The cup for second place in the state typing meet has been in our possession during the last year. The cup for track will remain here permanently as soon as won another time by this school. It, like the typing cup has been won consistently by our teams. William Ladd representing the school in oratory last year made possible the possession for this year of the fourth cup.

OREGON “The Awakening of Spring” On the evening of May 6th an immense crowd gathered in the High School auditorium to view the second annual May festival given by the Girls’ Physical Education classes of the High school with Miss Manly as director. The place was artistically decorated in pink and green, the stage being a bower of rhododendrons. Pretty colored lights added to the beauty of the dancing. The program began with the Blue Bird’s attempt to call forth the spirit of Spring, in which it was onlv rewarded by the appearance of the Frost sprites which showed that Winter was not yet gone. At the second call of the Blue Bird, however, the Spring Flowers came forth and danced until it seemed that Spring had come to stay and Winter’s reign was ended. Of course when the Spring maidens were assured that Winter was gone they came bearing the representative of Spring. Dacie Sperry, in a bower of flowers. The procession was lead by the flower girl and two attendants—Ena Christensen and Evelyn McPherson. After she had been duly crowned queen of the Earth and put on her beautiful throne, the Hours came in and danced away the time while more preparations were made for the celebration of Spring’s return to Earth. Then came the people of various nations to reveal their ioyousness by many folk and character dances. Even Lady Moon and her Moonbeams shone resplendently upon the glad array. The winding of the pink and green streamers of the Maypole ended the festivities prepared for the coronation of Queen Dacie I.

The daughter professes to have had a pearl necklace stolen from her but she has in reality hidden them in the bottom of her trunk. She wishes to send the insurance money from the pearls to Carlos Gonzales, the ne’er-do-well brother of Senora Gonzales. Sadie immediately disillusions the daughter and tells her of what type of man Carlos actually is. The (laughter goes to get the pearls from her trunk but finds that they have been indeed stolen.

OREGON V I think I shall tell you about some of the parties I have attended at the Myrtle Point Union High school. They have a lot of society if you only stop to think about it. Well, to go on with my story, the first party I attended was the: FRESHMAN RECEPTION given by the Sophomores, Saturday, October ninth, because they had to. The Sophies told the Freshies to entertain us which they did real well, for Freshmen. They rolled nuts across the floor, ran through the spanking machine, did tricks, etc., till I began to think they weren’t going to quit. They finally did and we ate and then I could go home content. ------:o:------- Along about the seventh of November, everyone in the student-body received an invitation to a FRESHMAN RETURN PARTY for Saturday night. Hardly anyone was surprised or even excited oyer it because we were expecting it and besides the parties Freshmen give are very seldom much fun for upper-classmen. But 1 must admit that this v.as an exception to the usual rule. 1 really enjoyed myself immensely. They gave us a program, then we played games and last of all we ate. I enjoyed the last best of all. -------:o:-------- November 17th, the Junior class was over-joyed by an invitation from the Senior class to a JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY for Saturday night in the auditorium. They didn’t keep their promise though, well, that is about having the party in the auditorium. Why, they led us all over the school-house. In the laboratory there were cars which we had to name, in the book-keeping room pictures drawn on the board and we were to guess who they were,—it was really astonishing how close the resemblance was to some of us. To tell the truth about it, I had lots of fun, even the chasing all over the building. Page Forty-nine UNION HIGH SCHOOL The next social gathering of importance for the girls was the GIRLS’ LEAGUE PARTY February 24th. We had bushels of fun! It was a “little kid” party, that is everyone was dressed as a little boy or girl. The first part of the evening the lights were out so it turned out to be a candle-lighted initiation for Snooky. He seemed to enjoy the party lots, especially the part in the cooking room. ---------:o:-------- All of the girls who made any of the school inter-class teams were asked to a GIRLS’ SPORTS BANQUET for Tuesday night, February 29th. I was sick and couldn’t attend but from what I heard afterwards they must have had a good time. A girl from each class told something about the games and a couple of Freshmen demonstrated each one. They had kitchen full to eat and lots left over. You should realize I regretted missing the last. -------:o:-------- One day in the early part of March a man came to our school, who wanted us to sell magazines for him. He suggested dividing up into three groups so as to have a little competition. As we were to get 50of the money from the magazines we sold and have a lot of fun doing it we decided to sell them. The two losing teams had to give the other team a party, so on Friday, March 11th, we losing ones invited the winning team to a CONTEST PARTY It was a contest party too, because it consisted mostly of running races (in all sorts of manners, styles, etc.), tossing bricks, etc. The Freshmen gave us a program—the most interesting feature being the Myrtle Point cemetery in 1960. -------: o:------ To pay the Seniors back the Juniors entertained them at a SENIOR-JUNIOR PARTY which wasn’t a party but a ‘picnic in winter!’ Of course it was on Saturday so we could stay up late with out it affecting our studies. Everyone wore old clothes so they wouldn’t be afraid of getting their clothes ruined. Several jokes were played such as distinguishing baby pictures that several Junior girls had collected. The lunch room was decorated to renvesent an our-of-door scene We know there was a quarter moon that night for as we sat around the bonfire eating a delicious lunch, we could see a beautiful moon shining through the window. Of course it was made and not a real one. Everyone said it was the best nicnic thev had attended this year and I thought so too, since no one had attended any other. I m looking forward to the Junior-Senior be nonet which will be May 16th, and will undoubtedly fce the biggest event of the year. Pag« Fifty MYRTLE POINT.

Page Fifty-three UNION HIGH SCHOOL mith-Hughes “Ag” Department The Smith-Hughes agricultural department has made considerable progress over its first year of only a year ago. The enrollment last year was nineteen while this year there are thirty-five, making an increase of nearly fifty per cent. The Advance “Ag” is a new class added to the agricultural course this year and is very popular among Juniors and Seniors. The class work consists of mechanical drawing, farm carpentry, and automobile mechanics. The need for an Auto Mechanics shop building caused the Advance Ag. with the aid of Ag. 2 class to plan and construct their own building. This was one of the largest accomplishments for the year. The display at the County Fair last fall showed the results of last years farm projects. Accompanying all the exhibits were large placards showing the financial record of each project. The boys who won the Chamber of Commerce prize for having the best projects, which was a tree trip to the state fair, were Chester Willson, Rodney Davenport, Charles and Llewellyn Southmayd. The Chamber of Commerce is giving this prize again this year. The pamphlet called “The Ag. Sprouts” issued and published by the agricultural students appeared this year for the first time. This‘pamphlet will be an annual publication issued to show the results and progress made by the agricultural students. The school memeograph machine was used in printing the 100 copies that were issued. The motto adopted by the department is “B'gger and Better Every Year.” Page Fifty-four MYRTLE POINT.

Page Fifty-six VTHLETICS Grants Pass 0, Myrtle Point 13 The “Bobcats” started the season strong by defeating the highly touted Grants Pass eleven on their home field. Myrtle Point put over the first touchdown early in the second quarter and another in the third. Marshfield 20, Myrtle Point 0 With several of the players out of the game because of injuries, Myrtle Point received the first defeat of the season at the hands of Marshfield. The Purple and Gold Warriors scored the first touchdown when Warnack broke away on an end run. North Bend 34, Myrtle Point 0 On October 16, Myrtle Point went to North Bend and received the worst defeat of the season. In spite of the fact that about one third of the team were out because of scholastic difficulties. Myrtle Point held the flashy North Bend aggregation to one touchdown until the end of the third quarter. Bandon 12. Myrtle Point 0 The next week Myrtle Point played Bandon at Myrtle Point. Two long end runs by Bandon’s star full-back, Lancaster, earned for them a 12 to 0 victory. Bandon 13, Myrtle Point 7 The following Saturday, Myrtle Point journeyed to Bandon determined to avenge itself for the loss suffered the week before. After a hard fought game the Red and Blue returned home again the looser. The game was featured by the end runs of Lancaster and the off tackle smashes of Smith. Coquille 0, Myrtle Point 19 On November 6, Myrtle Point came out of her mid-season slump by defeating the scrappy Coquille eleven 19 to 0. Myrtle Point’s first score came in the first quarter after a series of line bucks and off tackle smashes by Smith and Hosman. Riverton 0, Myrtle Point 38 On Armistice Day, Riverton came here and after a fast game in which Myrtle Point used its entire squad, returned home the looser, 38 to 0. Page Fifty-eight MYRTLE POINT, OREGON Coquille 0, Myrtle Point 20 Myrtle Point showed more strength in this game than at any other time during the season. Clifton James who was still recovering from a wrenched elbow starred at half as well as Smith and Hosman. ---------:o:---------- Those who earned their letter are Waldo Hartley (Captain), Clifton James, Kelly Carver, Chet Hosman, Carl Rich3rt, Durward Druliner Bill Forrest, Leland Barklow, Bill Donald.

Some other players who didn’t earn their letter but who will be good material for next year are Ellis Lewis, John Hoschouer. Auldon Warner, Edward Forrest, Chrest Christensen, Orvil Richert, Corbin Bones, and Dutch Druliner. With but four men graduating it looks as though the 1927 season will be the most successful for Myrtle Point High in the history of the school. Page Fifty-nine UNION HIOH SCHOOL Ti U3ask -Ba11 __S eascvn When Coach Lever issued the first call for basket ball practice, soon after the football season ended, with but two lettermen from last years squad, the prospects for a winning basket ball team did not look very bright. However the coach soon whipped the team into condition and surprised the local fans by winning three pre-season games with two independent teams and Roseburg High. The Myrtle Point Alumni, however, proved too much for the “Bobcats” and they fell to a twenty-five to fourteen defeat. The first conference game was with Arago. Myrtle Point played the second learn the last half and won thirty-six to sixteen. The next day Coos River came here and went home with the short end of a thirty-three to eleven score. The third conference game, which was with Marshfield nroved to be disastrous for the home tenm. Myrtle Point ran up an eight point lead in the first quarter, but in the second period there were a great many fouls called on Myrtle Point and Marshfield managed to overcome the lead. The final score was Marshfield twenty-six, Mvrtle Point seventeen. Three davs later Myrtle Point journeved to Coquille and won twenty to fifteen. The next game, which was with Riverton was close the first three auarters, with Riverton having a slight edge. But in the last ouarter Mvrtle Point’s offense began 1o function and when the final whistle blew, the score was twenty-one to thirtv-six for Mvrtle Point. The sixth conference game, which was with Nor h Be”d. was the heart-breaker of the season. Mvrtle Point led un to the last few minutes when a North Bend man made a basket but was fouled by a Myrtle Point player. The basket counted, he got two foul baskets, and the referee called a foul on the score keeper which gave him another shot. The final score was twenty-three to twenty-four for North Bend. Myrtle Point dropped the next two games to Bandoo and North Bend by scores of twenty to seventeen and twenty-five to eighteen respectivelv. The Red and Blue then journeved to Roseburg where she won a thrilling game twenty-five to twenty-four. Three days later Myrtle Point went to Marshfield and swamped the heretofore undefeated Marshfield quintet to the tune of thirty-five to seventeen. On the e:ght-eer.th of February, Coquille came here determined to win, but after a Pag; Sixty MYRTLE POINT. OREGON rough, hard fought game, returned home defeated fifteen to twenty. Myrtle Point won the next game from Bandon by a comfortable margin and finished the schedule by defeating Powers up there nineteen to eleven. On March the fourth, all of the teams in the county except Arago went to Marshfield to take part in the County Tournament. Myrtle Point won the first game with Riverton easily, but was defeated by Marshfield in the semi-finals that evening. The game was very close up to the last few minutes when Myrtle Point’s defense seemed to break and Marshfield made several baskets in quick succession. The final score was nineteen to thiry-one. In the consolation game the Red and Blue won from North Bend twenty-five to ten thus securing third place in the tournament. Marshfield defeated Coqu'lle in the finals thus gaining the right to represent Coos County in the State Tournament. The results: Roseburg .... 18 VS. M. P 36 at Myrtle Point Arago . 16 vs. M.

He was a dangerous man on offense, scoring more points during the season than any other man in the county. He succeeded in getting the tip-off in every game and well earned his position on the all-county second team. Du Fay Montgomery was the bright light of Myrtle Point’s offense throughout the season. He was second only to Hartley as high point man in the County. He was a sure shot and covered the floor well. He was unanimously elected as all-county forward. We will miss “Snooky” next year. Virgil Smith played his first year at guard. He was a crack defensive man, always holding his opponent to a low score besides collecting a few markers for himself. He received honorable mention on one all-county five and has two more years in High school. DeLoss Druliner and Bert Handerson both earned their letters at forward. They each play a fast, aggressive game and we are expecting some great work from them in the next two years. Elbert Schroeder earned his letter at guard. He was a tower of strength on defense and will be missed a great deal next year. Shirley Carter played his second year at guard. He consistently played a cool heady game and was chosen on one all-county team. Hollis Laird, although he did not earn his letter, played a good game at forward. He is strong on defense and was high point man in the Arago game. He has three more years. Bill Forrest, although out through sickness in the middle of the season, played a strong game and fell but little short of earning the coveted letter. With this year’s experience he should be a very valuable man for next year. Some subs who deserve honorable mention for turning out regularly throughout the season are Kermit Hayes, Mitchell Myers, Chrest Christensen, and Leslie Barklow. Most of the success of the season is due to the efforts of Coach Lever who coached his second year at Myrtle Point Union High. He is a graduate of the University of Ohio and has had several years experience coaching High schools and Colleges throughout the United States. We are exceedingly lucky in having him with us again next year. Page Sixty-two MYRTLE POINT.

Page Sixty-five UNION HIGH SCHOOL A wonderful improvement was made this year in girls’ athletics by the adoption of the point system, which is sponsored by the Oregon Physical Education Association, and is linked up with the Honor Society. There are ten activities in the system valued at ten points each for every girl making the class or the color teams. For each 25 points earned, one point is given in the Honor Society, and for each 100 points earned a state letter is awarded by the Physical Education Association. Out of the ten possible activities six were engaged in th's year; Soccer, Volley ball. Basket ball. Self-testing Activities, Indoor Baseball, and Track. As Soccer was a new game to the girls not enough came out for it this year to have 4 class teams, so 2 color teams, the Red and the Blue, were organized. The teams were so evenly matched that the Reds won by a margin of only one point. Volley ball, the second activity, was more popular, since the girls had played it last year, so 4 class teams were lively contestants for the championship. In the end the Seniors were victorious by a score of 15-14 in the final game with the Sophomores. Class Basket ball turned out much the same way—the final score being 28-27 in favor of the Sophomores. Self-testing activities consist of 15 stunts to be performed individually, a score of 10 points being given to all those who can nerform 10 of them correctly. For most of the girls this is an easy 10 points. ---------:o:-------- CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS Baseball:—Hilda Fredenburg, Mary Gasner, Clarena Nelson, Frances Warner, Katie Furman, Agnes Parrish, Adeline Gurney.
