MYRTLE POINT. OREGON The POINTER . i A Year Book Published by the Student Body of the Union High School Myrtle Point, Oregon yn Volume VII Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight 2----- UNION HIGH SCHOOL Story of Myrtle Wood Landscaped by Nature’s Master hand, the Myrtle trees of this region are the source of admiration for all visitors into this section. They are very symetrical in shape which gives them their beauty. The Myrtle is an evergreen tree, growing from 60 to 80 feet in height and from 2 to 4 feet in diameter. The bark and leaves contain a large quantity of volatile oil of a very penetrating odor, suggesting camphor. The bark is dark brown and scaly, while the leaves are shiny, smooth and deep green in color and hang on the tre s for two years. The fruit is yellowish green, resembling an olive, which ripens during October. The Myrtle is a long lived tree, reaching 250 to 500 years of age. It ranges from the Umpqua River in Oregon to southern Curry County, Oregon, known and found nowhere else in the world except in the Holy Land. The wood is characteristic for its many beautiful grains and colors and is one of the most variegated woods known. Only a small portion of trees cut yield the beautiful mottled and veined variety. When dry it is very hard and tough. There are many Myrtle trees and groves growing near the city of Myrtle Point, and probably that is where the name Myrtle Point originated. In 1927, 15 carloads of Myrtle wood was shipped from this city with a total weight of 1,591,880 pounds. It was sent to New York, Grand Rapids, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Chicago, where it was made into furniture and many beautiful novelties. The trees were cut, sawed up, and even the roots were taken out and sent away to be used. We, the people living where this beautiful tree is found, should be very careful not to destroy it unnecessarily; and should be very proud to have such a novelty in our community. MYRTLE POINT.

Yesterday while I was canoeing I had the queerest dream and the queerest thing happened. Yes, everything is queer about what I am going to tell you. Well, to proceed—I fell asleep, as I said before, and here is my dream. I had a feeling as if I were falling, and then I was suddenly awakened by a bump. Opening my eyes I saw I had fallen on the leaf of the largest water-lily I have ever seen. (It was large, too.) I climbed over the middle-part and saw a stairway leading downward. Of course I was curious and, allowing my curiosity to get the better of me, I descended. At the bottom was a large castle. 1 looked all around to see if I could find anyone, but couldn’t, so I went on in. The room I entered was entirely empty of people and furniture. The other rooms were just as bare. I must make an exception to that last, as the last one had someone or something, whichever you want to call it, in it. (Sounds like the story “Sleeping Beauty,” doesn’t it?) It was or looked like, a girl, at least, the head did, but the rest of her was like a fish. I guess it was what one would call a “mermaid.” Anyway, when I entered this room she said, “You are the one I have been looking for for two weeks. Why didn’t you come sooner? You might have known I was looking for you.” She gave me such a scolding for staying away that I began to get worried, as I did not even know the meaning of it all. She then told me to sit down but as I didn’t see any chair, I sat on the floor. Squirming or wabbling over to one side of the room, the Mermaid, as I am going to call her from now on, opened a small cupboard and took out a small, brass-bound box. Bringing the box to me, she bade me open it, which I did. I found a bunch of keys and taking them out I gave them to the Mermaid. She took these keys and using one of them, unlocked another compartment in the box and took out an envelope. She gave it to me and told me to open it and read what was in it. This is what I read: “You are now going to be permitted to see what pro- fession the members of your class will be following five years from now. Take the bunch of keys the Mermaid has, of which there are twenty-eight, and unlock, one at a time, the scales of the Mermaid. ou will find inside each scale a small opening in which there will be a picture of a person and their profession written on the bottom of the picture.” Overcome with wonder I did as I was directed and this is the result: 1. Llewellyn Southmayd, a brush-axe in one hand and a dinner-pail in the other—a brush-slasher. 2. Agnes Parrish—in a ballet costume and her hair hanging below her waist (she always had beautiful hair)—a toe dancer. 3. Frank Sinko—(such a change)—wearing a dress suit, had a little mustache, and carried a beautiful tapestry over one arm—an interior decorator. 4. Edith Mecum—glasses on her nose, her hair slicked back over her ears, carrying a stack of books a mile high ar.d standing in front of m, , her five children with a meek looking man in the background—a teach- j U er. (I guess the little man was her husband although I always imagined , ' she would have a large man.) ' 5. William Forrest—in front of a shoe-stand, ragged suit, hair all slicked back, (as usual) and a lot of brushes in front of him— a bootblack. (I never thought it of him. I always imigined he would get married as soon as school was out.) UNION HlCiH school 6. Gale Abbott—in a long black dress, a song book in one hand and a queer hat on his head. (He looked like he was supposed to be singing.)—a salvation worker. 7. Karama McRay—dressed in the height of fashion (much be-frilled, curled, etc.)—a noted movie-actress. 8. Shirley Carter—looking the same as ever—Karama’s director. (Queer, I wonder how long it will last.) 9. Mary Gasner—dressed very sensible (just the opposite of Karama)—Karama’s wardrobe mistress. 10. Harold Carver—looking like he did on last Senior day (old-iashioned, holes in his trousers, etc.)—a day-laborer in a mine in South America. 11. Kermit Hayes, a stove-pipe hat, dress suit, cane, etc.—a president of a great bank of New York. • _ 12. Alice Willey, in a bright flouncy dress, no sleeves, hair curled, sitting in front of a secretary’s desk—a private secretary. 13. Lyle Knight, seated in a room richly furnished with works of the Orient and beautiful women lounging on cushious around him—a Turk. 14. Vera McCulloch, dressed in an Egyptian costume—an usher in a theatre. 15. William Donald, dressed as usual, very neat, only wearing glasses (funny, his eyes never used to bother him)—Dean of Men at the Washington University. 16. William Baker, an old straw hat on his head, overalls (a rake over one shoulder and a little boy hanging to him)—married and a farmer (I never thought it.) 17. Naomi Hermann, a boyish haircut, her dress exceedingly short, and a long necklace around her throat—a beauty parlor owner. 18. Clifton James, in a checked suit of black and white, and a straw hat. Behind him was a gilt sign which read, “Remember us and your troubles are over.”—an undertaker. 19. Frank True, in a handsome roadster, his hair cut long and a flower in his button hole. The back of his car was packed with bags— a traveling salesman. 20. Edward Forrest, in a surgeon’s white uniform and all kinds of tools around him—a famous physician. (He always did like to cut up.) 21. Truman Hartley, in a bathing suit—a life saver. (He always used to like to get drowning girls out of trouble.) 22. Clarence Carrick, in a pair of cords with suspenders, and carrying a broom in one hand and a bucket in the other—the janitor of M. P. U. H. S. 23. Mitchell Myers, dressed as a fireman—chief fireman of Marshfield. (He always hated Marshfield, I thought.) 24. Audrey Hamilton, hair cut short (I knew she would never let it grow.)—a pail in one hand—a milk-maid. 25. Alice Train, a green uniform on, carrying a tray of dishes____ still a waiter in the Jack and Jill. (I guess she left her husband.) 26. Madge Lakey, dressed in an attractive afternoon dress and flowers all around her—an attendant in a florist shop. 27. Maxine Nelson, surrounded by canvasses of all shapes and sizes, a noted artist. (Just as I thought.) 28. Francis Keltner, taking a picture of someone—dressed in a long flowing gown, and his hair below his ears, a photographer. That is all of my dream. When I told some of my friends about it they laughed at me but nevertheless the vision remains. MYRTLE POINT.

We have had representatives from our class enter athletics with zest. We have had lettermen in football and basketball. Many juniors are members of the Glee Club and Orchestra. Also many of the parts in “The Wishing Well” were filled by juniors. Who but a junior would represent the school in the County Declamatory contest! As a final to our junior class we gave a banquet to the senior class, and in return they gave us a picnic. But let us not spend too much time on the past glories but turn to the future. Next year we will assume the senior responsibilities with a will. -MYRTLE POINT.

Golden sunshine loved it so. Breezes rocked it to and fro. To this dim and fragrant forest Came a woodsman bold one day, Rudely stilling woodland whispers With his whistling, loud and gay. He spied the lovely Myrtle tree— “What a prize! 'Tis mine,” cried he. Then the dim and fragrant forest Echoed with a dreadful sound, And, ’ere long, the lovely Myrtle, Crushed and still, lay on the ground. And the tall pines, whispering, said: “The lovely Myrtle tree is dead.” In a city, near the forest, In a noisy factory— Here the woodsmen left his treasure, Left the lovely Myrtle tree. Then the bright saws cut it through And made these lovely candlesticks for you. If you’ll look right close, you’ll see Everything I’ve told; See the dim and fragrant forest, See the tall trees tipped with gold; For in these candlesticks, you see, Still lives the heart of the'Myrtle tree. ---------:o:---------- MYRTLE POINT.

A sophomore was chosen to be one of the debaters on the county team. Two sophomore boys on the football team received letters. The sophomore girls’ volley ball team won the championship of the interclass games. At the first meeting of the school year the following officers were elected: Durward Druliner, President; Velma Hamilton. Vice-Presi- dent; Carolyn Schneider, Secretary-Treasurer; Chrest Christensen, Council Representative; Mr. White, Class advisor. The pesident of the class became a junior the middle of the term so Velma Hamilton became President and Bert Handerson was elected Vice President. Near the first of the year the freshmen were duly initiated into the mysteries of high school life and furnished much amusement for everyone. The Christmas program was put on by the sophomore class and everyone agreed that it was very well given. We owe much to the help of Mr. White, the class advisor, and to Miss Linn, who helped us put on our program.

We have some mid-year frosh, but they are not so green. Although they’ve had many a ducking as you perhaps have seen. No, we’ve not forgotten our duckings That we got when we first entered in, Nor wearing our clothes all backwards As the frosh who just begin. Now, we’re giving a little program And hoping for success, For we probably will give others, And we’ll surely do our best. Wi h basketball and football, For the boys and girls right here; We hope to win a few games Throughout our freshman year. Now we’ve told our own opinion, And will close the story here With every studious ambition. Awaiting our sophomore year. --MYRTLE POINT.

Beneva Volkmar was chosen to represent the school in Declamation using the selection “Buddie and Waffles.” Clarence Carrick was chosen to represent the school in Oratory. He took as his oration Patrick Henry’s “Appeal to Arms.” Both were contestants last year. The Oratory and Declamatory contest was held in the auditorium of the Myrtle Point High school on Friday evening, April 30. Myrtle Point won first place in oratory and Marshfield first in declamation. The judge of the contest was L. H. Baldridge of the public speaking department of the University of Oregon. Myrtle Point now has permanent possession of the Oratorical cup having won it on two other occasions. The cup was won in 1923 by Barton Stemmier and in 1926 by William Ladd. ---------:o:-------- UNION HIGH SCHOOL — A I Front Row: Francis Keltner, William Gurney, Elma Russell. Back Row: Leland P. Linn, Coach; Clarence Carrick. Debate The debating season began early this year, the debaters beginning work in October. Enough candidates turned out to make inter-class debates possible. The first of these, in November, was the Senior-Junior debate upon the subject, “Resolved that Oregon should establish a system of Junior Colleges,’’ the Seniors winning by a vote of 2 to 1. On December 16, the Sophomores won over the Freshmen, debating upon the question, ‘Resolved that the United States restrict transoceanic aviation.” On Wednesday evening, February 15, the district debates were held. Our negative team consisting of Francis Keltner and William Gurney journeyed to Coos River where they won by a vote of 2 to 1. Clarence Carrick and Elma Russell on the affirmative team met Bandon’s negative team at Myrtle Paint but lost the decision. Although they were not victorious, the members of the team feel that during this year they have gained a great deal of debating knowledge under the coaching of Mr. Linn. The Senior-Sophomore debate held on Friday, January 13, was upon the county debate question, “Resolved that Oregon should adopt a non-contributory system of old age pensions.” The Seniors upholding the negative won by a 3 to 0 decision and thus gained the inter-class debate championship. After inter-class debating, our d -bate coach, Mr. Linn, chose the debate squad and work upon the question of old age pensions was begun in earnest. MYRTLE POINT. OREGON 45 UNION HIGH SCHOOL — Smith-Hughes Department The Smith-Hughes agricultural department of the Union High had an exceptionally good year. Forty students were enrolled in the department. Sixteen out of the seventeen freshmen who were taking the work are from the farm. The sheep, hogs, turkeys, and chickens exhibited at the Coos and Curry County h air last fall were good examples of the farm projects. Orlin Lett, of Bridge, made a net profit of $557.20 from his turkey project. Several boys made a profit of around $100.00. This was the first year that Myrtle Point has ever had a stock judging team. They won second place at the local fair and nineteenth place at the Pacific International Stock Show at Portland. There were sixty schools from five different states competing in the contest. The Chamber of Commerce donated $100.00 to defray the expense of seven boys to the Pacific International Stock Show. Frank True, Orlin Lett, Ernest Strong, and Melvin Barklow won the free trip for having the best farm projects. Lester Porterfield, Truman Wagner, and Wayne Watson were given the free trip for being the best livestock judges. A car shed 17 by 90 feet was built and painted by the two advance classes. Several cars were repaired and overhauled; two sets of coils were installed in cook stoves; thirty hand saws were filed; halters and bridles were made; Ironing boards, wheel barrows and silage carts were built in conjunction with the regular class instructions. ---------: o:--------- MYRTLE POINT.

Seven of the lettermen are seniors and will graduate this year. They are Francis Keltner who has played for Myrtle Point four years, having been chosen twice as All County tackle; Shirley Carter who played three years at tackle and center, and was All County center this year; Clifton James who has won his letter three years, having played in the line, at end and in the backfield; Kelly Carver who has also won three letters, playing at end: Bill Forrest and Bill Donald, who both won their two letters playing in the backfield; Ed Forrest, who played one year at guard. Eight of the squad who turned out last season, but who did not make their letters were: Corbin Bones, Chrest Christensen, George Parker. Dick Barklow, Keith Laird, Norwood Brown, Tom Lever, and Carry Bones. Although lack of experience kept these boys from making their letters this year, they are good material for a winning team for next year. 5J UNION HIGH SCHOOL Football A squad of about twenty-five boys answered Coach Lever’s call for football material at the first of the 1927 season. With eight lettermen as a foundation on which to build a team, it looked like a promising season for the Bobcats.” The first game was played on the home field against the heavy Cottage Grove eleven. Although the Myrtle Point boys were at a decided disadvantage in weight, their fighting spirit and teamwork could not be overcome. The result w’as Cottage Grove, 0: Myrtle Point, 12. As the season progressed, “fight” and “cunning” continued to pile up victories for the “Bobcats” until November 11, when Myrtle Point met the heavy, undefeated veterans from Bandon, who won the championship in one of the most bitterly fought games ever played in the county. With Coach Lever and eleven experienced men back next year, the prospects look very promising for the 1928 season. The 1927 football schedule was as follows: 'Here Oct. 1 Cottage Grove 0 Myrtle Point 12 There Oct. 6 Roseburg 0 Myrtle Point 26 Here Oct. 15 Coquille 6 Myrtle Point 31 Here Oct. 22 North Bend 0 Myrtle Point 21 There Oct. 29 Coquille 0 Myrtle Point 18 Here Nov. 5 Riverton 0 Myrtle Point 37 Here Nov. 11 Bandon 18 Myrtle Point 7 There Nov. 19 Marshfield 0 Myrtle Point 1 Total 24 153 Due to quarantine Marshfield was forced to forfeit their game to us. :o: MYRTLE POINT.

Basketball Although at the beginning of the season the prospects were not bright the players and coaches worked hard in an effort to make up for the lack of outstanding players. The season began with Myrtle Point taking a hard-fought game from Marshfield. After this they were defeated by Bandon and North Bend but came back and won all of the games remaining on the schedule and the county championship for the first time in five years. In the district tournament the team got off to a poor start and was defeated by Bandon in the semi-finals. They came back and won third place in the tournament by a decisive victory over North Bend. Much of the success of the team was due to the efforts of Coach Lever who has coached at Myrtle Point for three years.

He earned two letters playing at guard and was chosen for All County center this year. He always played a hard, fast game and was a strong defensive man. Frank Sinko, a three year letterman-transfer from Arago, earned his letter at guard. He lived up to his reputation as a good all-around player with special ability as a guard. William Forrest played a good game at forward. He was a consistent shot from all angles of the floor. Bill always played for teamwork and succeeded in gathering more than his share of the points. Mitchell Myers played his last year at forward and center. Besides being strong on defense he could be counted on to sink a few shots in each game. Kermit Hayes alternated at forward and guard. He was exceptionally good at long shots and covered the floor well at all times. Virgil Smith, playing his second year at guard, also succeeded in making the All County team. He will be a valuable man for next year. DeLoss Druliner succeeded in making his basketball letter for the second time. He was always ready when a forward was needed. Keith Laird earned his first letter this year at forward. He played a cool game, excelling in long shots. He will be back next year. Those who turned out all season but who did not make letters are: Elmo Christensen, Aulden Warner. Dick Barklow, Tom Lever, Truman Wagner, Ernie Pearson, Bert Handerson, and Norwood Brown. These boys realized that a second team was necessary if a championship first learn was to be developed and so gave their time and efforts. ---------:o:---------- MYRTLE POINT.

Track Although Myrtle Point has only three of last year’s veterans back, two of whom are lettermen, there is a squad of twelve turning out. Under the able guidance of Mr. Lever who has coached our track teams for the last two years this squad should be able to make this our fiifth consequetive championship in track. A team was sent to the state track meet at Corvallis last year, May 14. Bill Hulet, taking third in the mile run, was the only man to place. Coach Lever took a two mile relay team and a high jumper to the Oregon Relays at Eugene, April 28. Mitchell Myers was the jumper and those who ran on the team were F rank Sinko, Aulden W amer. Bill Donald, and Francis Keltner. The men made a creditable showing in spite of the fact that they were competing with the largest schools of the state. Myrtle Point has a dual meet scheduled with North Bend and then will go to the county track meet which is to be held in Marshfield, May 5. This will probably end the Myrtle Point schedule as it is not likely a team will be sent to the state meet this year. UNION HIGH SCHOOL G. A-C. Soph,.
