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.

TORCH HONOR SOCIETY Torch Bcorort woro: Donold Dovonport, Robert Dotlofun, Romono Froncitco, Dick Cill. Lolond Horry. 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.

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. Officers: Left to right—Dole Hoffman, Murl Laird, Jock Farrier, Robert Detlefsen, Burton Wilson, Harold Amos, Advisor.
