Again this was an unquestionable success. Our field-light debt wes brought down to a small balance, which we were confident of F y S before the conclusion of the «eccnd semester. A decision was made on the idea of using the proceeds from the sale cf hot-dogs and “cokes” to p—chase a projection machine for $425. This machine was an addition to the public address system whrh we purchased last year in the same manner. Some entertaining and beneficial assemblies were enjoyed such as “Drums Along the Mohawk,” “Young Mr. Lincoln,” and “Rebecca of the Sunnybrook Farm.” Friday night dances proved quite successful with the cooperation of the Women’s Club and through the courtesy of the American Legion for the use of their hall. The Student Council sponsored an Amateur Hour program from which the proceeds benefited the music department. The smoker greatly helped the school lunch program. The lunches were reduced fl am thirty-five cents to fifteen cents. Although we were in arrears when the cafeteria closed, it was certainly bene-ficlal for those who ate at it. The Council cooperated with the Rotary Club in selecting a group of boys to be sent on a two-day trip to the State Legislature. They were chosen by the faculty on the basis of good citizenship. Also, the Council discussed a plan which provides for grading each individual student in citizenship. The plan was adopted and put into effect by the faculty. Rules for inter-class competition were prepared by the Council and accepted by the Student Body. Many helpful rules in sportsmanship are included and the winner, the class with the highest number of points shall have class numerals engraved on the Inter-class athletic cup. The Rotary Club shall also present the class with a cup that has the most outstanding ability throughout the activities of the school year. With the cooperation of Mr. Norton, we have been quite a successful group in that we have been able to carry out and put into effect our carefully worked out plan for the good of Myrtle Point High. % CLASSES SENIOR CLASS DOLORES BARKLEY Full of sparkle, dash and go.

WE were an awe-stricken group of freshies who stalked into the halls of learning four years ago, and after a miserable day finally found ourselves enrolled as members of old M. P. H. S. We were greeted by the sophomores with a never-to-be-forgotten initiation which was just about as much fun for us as for our executioners. After that first week we considered ourselves full-fledged high school students. Although we endeavored to rate high in inter-class sports we didn’t win much glory our first year. The next year our class, decreased in size upjn the enlistment in the service of some of our boys, had quite an eventful school year. One spring evening we piled into several cars and went on a skating party, which turned out to be so much fun that we went again a few weeks later. Everyone turned out to see Maxine Wilson and Bill Dayton in a gay, humorous pantomine, which constituted our sophomore assembly for the year, and was considered a great success. Our junior year we jumped up to second place in inter-class contests and one of our big successes was taking first place in basketball. About October if you had come into our halls and seen boys and girls scurrying in every direction with hammers, nails, crepe paper, and boards you would have known that something interesting was going on. Yes, you guessed it—the carnival! That was a gay hard-working time for everyone, and when the big night came it was well worth all the work. All of the concessions did a rushing business and our class came out second in inter-class points for this event. If you had seen a junior walking around the halls w'ith a little book entitled “Which Shall He Marry?” and mumbling to himself—no, there was nothing wrong, he was just a member of the play cast trying to memorize his part. It was a hectic, but enjoyable few weeks, when Ed Brown and Eloise Vadnais playing the lead, with Dolores Barkley, Ramona Francisco, Pat Overton, Betty an Doren, Evelyn Leeper, Bob Detlefsen and Johnetta Miller turned out faithfully to practice their parts, under the capable direction of Phil Ryan. The proceeds of the play went toward our last big event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. We juniors know what it is to scrub a dirty gym floor, for we are still wringing mop water out of our joints. From a bare, drab gym it turned into a dimly lighted blue and white ballroom with tables around the outside of the floor where refreshments were served, and those not dancing might sit and watch the dancers and listen to the music. To start the big evening we went to the Presbyterian church where we enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner. Later we all went to the beautifully decorated gym and danced to the music of Mfcdford Fuller and his orchestra. Everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion immensely and it was considered a great success. That ended our junior year and we looked forward to the responsibility of being mighty seniors. Agrin the halls were filled with the noise of hammering and sawing and preparations for the carnival were once again under way. The seniors had the gym for their concessions and the smoker drew the largest crowds. The carnival was an unusually good success, the proceeds going toward the installation of the football lights. We seniors took second place in this. That much whispered about day, of course we mean “Skip Day,” when “mum” was the word and everyone trying to find out where we were going, finally came. We left bright and early and after an exhausting day returned tired, but happy. May 2 the juniors honored us with the traditional Prom and Banquet. We thank the juniors very much for the work they put in on it to make such a good time possible and hope that they will receive as good a time. What a happy day was May 16 when we had our last classes. We felt good to know w’e were getting out of classes before the others. On May 18 we attended Baccalaureate Services which was a very impressive service in the beautifully decorated church. Then the biggest night of all camejmd we weere about as frightened as the day we entered high school. It was May 23 and we were leaving our school for the last time to make our own way in life. It gave us an odd feeling when we received our diplomas and knew we were leaving our old Alma Mater. We hope that the classes following us will have as may wonderful times as we did in Myrtle Point Union High School. Senior Class Prophecy . . . IN a jj;ay caravan there s a lady they call the Gipsy. Yes, she sees all, knows all, and—tells all. Quote: I see two beautiful girls. Yaz, they are danzing. One is a peroxide blonde. She tells me that her name is Betty Van Doren. The other, she saz her name is Ivylene Floyd. Look! two men cut in on them. Handsome? Yaz, and their names are Glade Krewson and Ted Smith. The ballroom, she has turned into water. A ship is sailing onto the water. Captain Ed Brown’s red hair is seen. He says, “Crawl Aboard,” to his crew. Among his crew are Ralph Cotton, Ray Clarno, Norman Moms, and Bill Dayton, who is sitting on the crow’s nest playing “South America Take It Away,” on his saxaphone. it “U1 SUld-enly land C°meS 'nt° my Creestal balL 11 is the 'sland of Lu-Lu: spelled backwards it The ship, whooz name ecz August Flower,” pulls to an abrupt stop at the edge of Lu-Lu.” Two mermaids are seen under the dock. The blonde one is Mjyra Wyrick. The dark-haired one is Margaret Meyer. Two sailors jumped off the ship into the ocean and swam away with the mermaids. Their names are John O’Sullivan and Burton Wilson. Everyone is much happy because the ship is here. The inhabitants of “Lu-Lu” all run to meet the crew. The Tower of Aloha comes into my creestal ball. Sitting on it is Ruth Culbertson and she is throwing lets to Bob Shelton, who is strumming a tune on his leetle guitar. The name of the song is “What Do You W|ant To Make Those Eyes At Me For?” Everyone is still much excited over the docking of the August Flower and hula-dancers greet them zestfully. Lorraine Smith and Joyce Northrup are wearing leetle grass skirts and have flowers in their hair, around their necks and a little bouquet is embracing their ankles. They sing much while they dance with Bob Herring and Eddy Ellis. Ah, thees ees a land of much love and music. The ship s crew is now going to the village of Kolakakana. As the crew briskly walks down the street, they wave to one of their old shipmates, Chet Zumwalt, who is now tending bar. A closer vista disclosed the silhouette dance of Dick Gill and Eloise Vadnais. The name of the club is Zig-Zag, and if you’re from Missouri, come in and be confirmed. Eventually the crew came to a little farm. Dale Hoffman is harvesting his pineapple crop while his wife, the former Thelma Huff, pulls a lettle plow though the few thousand of rows. A Luau is going on in Honolulu. Dolores Barkley and Ramona Francisco have just become brides and the festival will continue for several weeks. Their maid and butler, Jerene Bell and Keith Bushnell, are quite beesy preparing food and drink for thees fine occasion. After a few refreshments, the crew picks up a couple of guys from the “Lu-Lu Institution of Higher Education.” This place specializes in the development of muscles on the arms of bugs,(not human bugs). The gentlemen’s names are Perry Roper and Bob Detlefsen. They haven’t as yet figured out how to grow the arms on the bugs, but they are making many futile attempts just the same. I now see Evelyn Leeper in a leetle shop of her own where she is giving Leland Harry a permanent. He is going to an entertaining concert this evening. Walt Barklow will play his violin and the melodious music of Raymond Lakey with his Jew’s harp will also be heard. Finally, the crew figures it has explored enough of the exciting island of “Lu-Lu.” They go back to the dock and find a heliocopter instead of a ship waiting for them. As they climb in, the aviator, Murl Laird, and his co-pilot, Pat Overman, are preparing to take them away. My creestal ball, she has gone blank. I shall tell you more next May.” —The Gipsy. Senior Class Will . . . V7Kt the class of 1947, of the Myrtle Point High School, supposedly being in our right “ minds, in full possession of our faculties, and acting under no bribery or indiscretion, ordain and publish this last document—our will and testament. To the school as a “hole” we leave the following with the hope that they will be used wisely. A one-hour lunch period; a ping-pong table in each class room so that the students who get bored with the lessons can entertain themselves; and five minutes between each class so the teachers can pick up the yo-yos, paper airplanes, and other miscel-aneous articles the students have left behind and to allow the students a few minutes to blow their bubble-gum. Our Christmas present, in advance, is our new lockers and may the other students get as much good out of them an we did (n’t). To the Juniors we leave “MacBeth” and they have our deepest sympathy. We know they will enjoy the records—but they’ll never compete with Orson Welles. To the Sophomores we leave our quiet, dignified ways in the halls and classes. We know they need it, especially in English, where “concentration yields good results.” To the Freshmen we leave our might and power over the other classes. May they remember our application of the Golden Rule: “Do unto others ‘before’ they do unto you.” To Mr. Norton, who has had the great privilage of being our principal for two years, we leave our best wishes—and a list of all the booking agents for vaudeville entertainers, whom we hope he will add to the National Assembly programs. Then we could have some good entertainment at least once a week. If they were scheduled when we have tests coming up, there would be no doubt of financial support. To Mr. Harvey, our proud adviser, we leave our good intentions for becoming good citizens out in the world. We thought of buying him a large station wagon so he could take us on a whole week “sneak” but couldn’t afford it. To the rest of the faculty, we leave our “skip day” so that they can “get away from the students” and work for a day. The individual members of our class, as a final token of affection for our beloved classmates, do will and bequeath the following items, to wit: I, Betty Van Doren, will my gum-chewing to Mr. Harvey. I, Jerene Bell, will my ability to write book reports to Tinker Hatfield. I, Margaret Meyer, will my towering height to Marvene Christensen. I, Dolores Barkley, will my engagement ring to some sucker who is foolish enough to think he can get it. I, Ramona Francisco—me too! I, Keith Bushnell, will my shoes “size 11’ to Dick Anderson. I, Myra Wyrick, will my irresistible smile to any disillusioned freshman. I, Norman Morris, will my smallest possession—my height—to Jack Kissell. I. Lorraine Smith, will my quiet ways to Mildred Meyer. I, John O’Sullivan, will my ability to referee girls' basketball, to Ralph Clarno. I, Ruth Culbertson, will my place on the Sitkum bus to I aura Shelton. I, Perry Roper, will my torch honor pins and good grades to Jerry Matson. I, Ed Brown, will my athletic ability to Robert Clinton. I, Walter Barklow, will my tackle position to Mark Putnam. I, Bobby Shelton, will my quiet ways to Jack Farrier. I, Don Davenport, will my position as editor of the Myrtle Leaf to any Junior with strong nerves and lots of determination. I, Burton Wilson, will my letter-man sweat.r to Colleen Shepherd. I, Murl Laird, will my parachute and my (sympathy) to the first student who has the occasion to use them. I, Dick Gill, will my five-subject habit to any freshman with ambition. I, Ted Smith, will my shortness to towering Arthur Bechtal. I, Bob Herring, will my extra credits to anycne who can stretch his imagination enough to f!nd them. I, Joyce Northrup, will my engagement ring to Donna Krewson. I, Raymond Lakey, will my love for Senior English to John Wise. I, Eloise Vadnais, will my ability to get out-of-school boyfriends to Vada Walton. As if she needs it. I, Ivylene Floyd, will my ability to hold my man until I graduate to Louise Epperson. I, Leland Harry, will my athletic record to my little brother Paul. I, Bill Dayton, will my l’s in band to Marvene Christensen. I, Chet Zumwalt, in my mad rush to get through school haven’t had time to gather anything extra so I will oblige everyone by taking my possessions with me. I. Pat Overton, will my ability to skip classes to Rita Faye Lofton. I, Dale Hoffman, will my trouble to find something to will, to anyone in next year’s Senior Class. I, Glade Krewson, will getting out at mid-term to any under-classman with ambition. I, Ray Clarno, will my place as Senior President to any Junior boy who wants to be responsible fer the consequences of “skip day.” I, Ralph Cotton, will my timid ways to Bill Lewellen. I, Bob Detlefsen, will my wolfish ways to Sk p Ohlsen. I, Eddie Ellis, will my ability to graduate in three years to Dale Walton. I, Thelda Huff, will my sweet disposition to anyone who needs it. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS NORMAN JARVIS President HARRY SUMMERS Vice President MARTINA KINCHELOE Secretory-Treasurer JACK KISSELL Sergcont-ot-Arms p JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 'HE main event of the year, naturally was the Junior Prom. “How do you feel?” th “want a Bromo-Seltzer?” Those were the words uttered after the banquet we gave JLe w°rS..re T V ‘he Jrr Pr°m- Pleas “ don,t et the « ■; U w s really super. The theme was Country Gardens, featuring a huge wishing well with a garden effect. The entrance was an arbor with .vy-entwined through it. The affair was a success and all the Juniors were very cooper-ative and worked very hard. We were well represented in the Torch Honor Society, with Juniors holding all offices. The Juniors (and the rest of the staff) who worked on the Myrtle Leaf also had a good time every Thursday mght before publication, what with dividing time between playing ping pong and writ-mg aiticSA-s we managed to get out a pretty successful paper. The next highly important event of our Junior year was the arrival of our class rings Most of the class got yellow gold background with the black onyx set, while a few of the class got the yellow gold background with a white gold mounting. Both types of rings are very impressive and we all think we will enjoy them a lot. And say! Let’s not forget those school dances our class put on at the Legion Hall in order to raise funds for our Prom. It was an awful lot of work, but we all felt well repaid after the Prom went off so well. Another way that our class shown was in having four of the seven pepsters Juniors The eirls were Nancy, Twyla. Shirley and Corlyss. They’ll be the old stand-bys next year. Well, all in all the Juniors had a swell year, despite the fact that we had to do most of the running of the school and give helpful information and advice to the faculty. All kidding aside, we had a good t.me this year, and we learned a little also. The Junior Class is looking forward to another pleasant and successful nine month term next year.

This year as Sophomores we have overcome the difficulties which we had while freshmen and are now entering into the activities of the school more strongly. One of the outstanding events of the year was our candidate, Almeda Workman, being elected as queen of the carnival. We also have a large number of sophomores taking part in the band and boys’ and girls’ glee clubs. Pat Bell. Rae Ward and Almeda Workman, all being sophomores, were chosen to be the girls’ trio. There were also three girls from our class selected to be in the sextette. They are: Marvene Christensen, Lila Mac Laird and M.vrna Winningham. Amy Davenport, Barbara Mantz, Marvene Christensen, Maureen Evans, Skip Ohlsen, and Mark Putnam make up the larger part of the school orchestra. We are proud to say that we had the large group of thirteen to receive Torch honor pins from our freshman year. We also have a large number of students on the honor roll this year. Another thing which we are glad to state is the fact that during interclass games we had a large cheering section which showed we were really backing up our class teams. In the field of sport we had one boy, Tinker Hatfield, who played on the A squad. On the B squad there were: Jack Ford, Joe Brown, Carl Morris, Bill Lewellen and Joe Evernden. Arthur Bechtel played on both A and B squads. Joe Brown, Jim Churchill, Joe Evernden, Jack Ford, Ed Gilkison, Tinker Hatfield, Bill Lewellen, Carl Morris, Clarence Miller, and Mark Putnam were the sophomores who were on our football team.

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS RALPH CLARNO DICK ANDERSON MARLENE TRAIN GLEN ZELLER President Vice President Secretory-Treasurer Seroeant-ot-Armf FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY OUR most well remembered activity of the year was the initiation sponsored by the Sophomores. The boys were made to suffer by wearing girls clothing and make-up and the girls by wearing men’s long underwear and bathing suits. It was a hard initiation but we stood up under the strain and survived in the end. During the carnival we were in charge of the fish pond, telegraph and the house of mystery, Marlene Train was chosen as our candidate for queen. She was a very good candidate and ran closely behind the queen in votes. We are proud of having Jack Pinkley, Richard Bingham and Marvin Hammack on the B basketball squad. Football managers were Dick Anderson and Don Haynes. Dick was also the track and Basketball manager. Majorettes were Pauline Morris, Patricia Smith, Marlene Gasner, Donna Holliday and Sharon Gant. The Rotary club sponsored a trip to Salem to watch the Oregon Legislature in action for outstanding students. Duane Hayes, Forest Easton and Bob Briggs were those going from the freshman In the girls’ glee lub this year are about sixteen freshmen girls and in the boys glee club about fifteen boys. The following seven freshmen were on the semester honor roll: Laura Shelton, Jane Sell, Billie Sell, Jharlene Roe, Florence Russell, Marlene Train and Forest Easton. The Freshmen consider this a very good year and look forward to a successful Sophomore year. Row 1—Rex Cccrc, Lcuie Cden, Dcncld Cbbs, Dc'win Gulstrom, Wayne Gill.

Pot Ovortoo ond Burton W.l ©n. 'T'H'E officers of the Torch Honor Society for the year 1946-47 were: president, Shirley Train; vice president, Harry Summers; secretary-treasurer, Nancy Haga. Mr. Harvey was appointed as advisor. The Torch is an honor organization and membership in it is won by earnest endeavor in scholarship, good citizenship, and taking part in school activities. The purpose of the Torch Honor Society is to promote school citizenship in its broader sense. It is intended to round out the activities of the student and give him a broader view of his school life. It should promote scholarship, school spirit and good fellowship by interesting students in as many different lines of activities as he can take part in advantageously. The Society is governed by a point system. The points are earned through grades, athletics and taking part in other activities. A “one” counts five points, a “two” counts three points, a “three” counts two points, a “four” counts nothing and a “five” deducts one point from the total. To become a member of the Torch Honor Society you must have earned during your first school year 38 points, which entitles you to wear a one-bar pin. By the end of the second year you must have earned 78 points, which entitles you to a two-bar pin. The third year you must have earned a total of 120 points in order to receive a “Torch Pin.” If during your fourth you earn enough to have 145 points, you are entitled to keep the “Torch Pin.” Thirteen new sophomore members were admitted to the Torch Society this year. Those receiving the one-bar pins were: Marvene Christensen, Joyce Compton, Amy Davenport, Maureen Evans, Edward Gilkison, Geraldine Huntley, Donna Krewson Lila Mae Laird, Louella Lobdell, Jerry Matson, Evelyn Oberman, Dale Ohlsen and Donna Jean Young. Members entitled to wear the two-bar pins were: Eddie Ellis, Louise Epperson, Geraldine Ginn, Nancy Haga, Frank Hoffman, Martina Kincheloe, Corlyss Lucas, Harry Summers and Shirley Train.

Bang! Boom! and finally a peaceful silence . . . and at last the first issue of the Myrtle Leaf hit the presses. Through the able guidance of Mr. Hurst (he can be reached at the Sunnybrook Health Farm now) we got each issue out not less than a month behind time (well, maybe a little later). We admit we were a little slow getting started this year; but when we did, we considered the job pretty good. Each night just before the deadline you could have found us slaving away furiously on any and all things that were suggested to be written. People knew all the latest fashions and gossip with the help of our Klose Line and Bobcat Meows. Many of the political views of the school were changed by the editorial section, and numerous stitches were split by our humor. All this while the businessmen in town beat the doors down (with the help of our ad salesmen) trying to get space in our advertising section. All in all, though, the several issues we have gotten out we consider well done and we hope for an even better paper next year, since almost the entire staff will still be around as juniors and seniors.

Chapter was led this year by Bob Detlefsen, president, and Mr. Amos, Advisor, from Florida. Before arriving in Oregon Mr. Amos, as a token of a way to increase intersectional understanding, sent a baby alligator “Annie” whose survival has shown how favorably the moist Oregon coast climate compares with sunny Florida. Several of the boys entered their projects along with their project books at the Coos County Fair. The prizes won totaled $50.00. Midyear the members decided to purchase a new tractor. Wle chose a Ford, which cost us $1200, and included several attachments such as a plow, harrow, and scoop. The Chapter members use it on their farms and then do work with in the community for those people who desire to hire it. The Future Farmers have demonstrated some of their skills in various ways during the school term such as doing pruning jobs around towrn. They also gathered apples for the cannery. F.F.A.

A FEW weeks before football practice officially started, four boys, including George Nichols, Norman Jarvis, Perry Roper and Bill Roush, accompanied by Coach Beckham, traveled to Bend to see the Brooklyn Dodgers professional football team play an inter-squad game. The Dodgers conducted a football “clinic” demonstrating proper methods of fundamental football tactics, such as passing, kicking, tackling and blocking. They held special meetings for all visiting coaches, giving them examples of different plays and formations. This created great interest for the boys who saw it, and they learned much from watching this great prolessional team. With Curt Beckham as our head coach, 46 boys, 6 of them lettermen, turned out for practice on opening day. Our practice sessions were supplemented by Wednesday night inter-squad games during the entire season. This turned out to be an attraction for several of the town’s football fans who looked upon it as an extra ball game. Much rivalry among the squads made for a lively evening for both boys and spectators. This added practice helped to develop the speed, cooperation and fighting spirit of the Bobcats. In all but one of our non-conference games we were defeated. At the inauguration of our new floodlights—an occasion long awaited, and received with much enthusiasm by the community—we defeated Bandon 27-0, with all 35 who suited up playing. We traveled to Roseburg and Grants Pass to be trampled by much heavier teams, by the following scores, Roseburg 33. M.P. 0; Grants Pass 26, M.P. 0. Our other two non-conference games the alumni beat us 6-0 and Reedsport came here to beat us under our new lights 26-0. The Bobcats then started play for the county title. Though out-weighed by every team in the county, they had what it took—being defeated only once—to win the county championship. Their only loss was at the hands of North Bend, who were on the long end of a 26-6 score. Wie helped inaugurate Coquille’s new field by thumping the Red Devils 19-7. In our other Coquille game, Armistice Day, we defeated our neighboring town rivals 9-0 to win our first county championship since 1941.

Our two other county frames were with Coos Bay, one at North Bend and the other here. The one at North Bend was won by the score of 19-13 for the Bobcats. The frame here was also taken by the Bobcats. After holding the Pirates four times within the eight-yard line, the Bobcats managed to score a lone six points in the last four minutes to win 6-0. The Bobcats had a very successful season with our new coach. They placed two men on the allcounty team: Halfback Ray Clamo and End George Nichols. They also placed five on the second team: Ed Brown, Walt Barklow, Harry Summers, Jack Farrier and John Wise. The boys who earned letters this season were: Seniors, Burton Wilson, Perry Roper, Edward Brown, Leland Harry, John O’Sullivan, Walter Barklow, Don Davenport and Ray Clarno. Juniors: Bill Roush, Harry Summers, Jack Farrier, Frank Hoffman, Norman Jarvis, John Wise and George Nichols. The athletic managers were Dick Anderson and Don Haynes, both freshmen.

A FTER a successful football season, five lettermen from last year’s championship bas- ketball team turned out for basketball practice. They were Perry Roper, Edward Brown, Burton Wilson, George Nichols and Walter Barklow'. The season opened at a jamboree, held at Myrtle Point the first night and Marshfield the second night. We ended up in third place. The Bobcats played a few non-conference games before the league games got under way. The Bandon Tigers were hosts to us and we trounced them 32-19. Our “B” squad followed us in winning by the same score 32-19. Wle traveled to Grants Pass and came home with the short end of a 37-34 count. The following Friday they paid ss a visit to w'in 35-28. Newport traveled down to meet us and the Bobcats had an easy time, winning 59-28. The Bobcats went on a barnstorming trip to Corvallis and were nosed out 50-46. The following night Albany showed its skill in defeating us 53-23. League play got under way Friday, Jan. 3, when we traveled to Coquille and defeated them 39-30. The “B” squad got off to a good start but were nosed out 22-29. The following Tuesday Bandon came up, only to let the Bobcats run up their highest score of the season to win 71-31. Our “B” team won 48-37. The following Friday Marshfield came over, only to be defeated 47-44 in a real thriller. Our “B” squad also won 36-22.

THE above group made a trip to Salem late in February where they attended sessions of the State Legislature and Senate as guests of Governor Earl Snell. The trip was sponsored by the Rotary club, and while the boys were in Salem visits were made to the penitentiary and the State Forestry department. Boys making the trip were chosen by the faculty on the basis of good citizenship.
