THE BOBCAT 1 9 5 1 Published by the Student Body of the Myrtle Point Union High School To Mabel Barklow: We dedicate this book in recognition of the outstanding service rendered to the students of Myrtle Point Union High, and for the faithful years of service as clerk of the Union High 2 School Board. The Students of Myrtle Point Union High School wish to take this opportunity to thank the local Lions Club for its outstanding support of school functions. Board of Education Myrtle Point Union High School Board 2 consists of: Paul Bruer, Chairman, Myrtle Point; Henry Hervey, Lee Valley; John Carman, Gaylord; J. A. Davenport, Twin Oakes; E. F. Brodie, Myrtle Point; and Mrs. Mable Barklow, clerk. Mrs. Barklow has been clerk of the board since 1927 and is also secretary of the school. The board has been instrumental in all of the progressive projects needed in the school. The new 1600 capacity grandstand, as well as our new trophy case, are direct results of the school board's efforts. Goddard, Bryant, Barklow, Shelton, Brooks, Bingham Tobey, Whitaker, Smith, Carlson Student Council Student Council work this year was marked by utmost success and progress. Members of the Council seriously undertook many important projects which concerned each and every member of the student body. The school carnival was probably the most important and proved to be a great success. Other undertakings included study for the modernization of the school's constitution, arranging for the purchase of a deep freeze for the school, and the purchase of a coin changer for use in the candy and coke room. Students on the Council this year were: Charley Bingham, Student Body President; Bill Brooks, Vice-President; Karen Barklow, Treasurer; Phyllis Shelton, Secretary; Bob Whitaker, Senior Rep; Vance Carlson, Junior Rep; Shirley Tobey, Sophomore Rep; Keith Smith, Freshman Rep; and Harrison Bryant, Sgt. -at-Arms. Mr. Goddard was advisor of the group. Charley Bingham Student Body President Mr. G. B. Goddard Southern Oregon College of Ed. University of Oregon, B. S. Principal I believe that the students of Myrtle Point Union High have made a great deal of progress, not only for themselves, but for the school during the 1950-51 school term; one of which is the enlarged and improved Bobcat.

As we look back at the beginning of our high school days, we see 72 awe-stricken Freshmen presenting themselves at the portals of Myrtle Point High School. The thing that happened of great importance that first hectic year was our initiation, but we had about as much fun that day as did the Sophomore executioners, and from then on we were full fledged students. With Jim Krantz as our president and Mr. Beckham our class advisor, we went quietly about our work. We accomplished little as a class, but as we left school that spring we determined to return in the fall and make our mark among MPHS's list of outstanding classes.

Revenge was in our eyes as we returned to school and noticed those innocent Freshmen loitering in the halls. Initiation came about as initiations will and so we made our contribution to the welfare and upbringing of the entering class. Our advisor, Mrs. Beyers and class president, A1 Gilkison guided us through this adventurous year. Our success was beginning to show during this second year--Jim Krantz and Frank May were on the starting lineup during football season. By basketball season we were still gaining and we had Jim Krantz on the Varsity Squad and Roy Dayton, Gene Barklow, Frank May, Bill Davenport, and Phil Mast on the B. Squad. We had now completed two years of high school and were taking up the duties of upper-classmen. Officers for the year included President, Kenny Parry; Vice President, Frank May; Secretary, Bob Whitaker; Sgt.-at-Arms, Jim Krants; Treas. Jackie Norris; and Class Representative, Gay Davenport.

This effort was climaxed on April 14 as we presented our theme Treasure Days which was said to be one of the most beautifully decorated Proms in the history of MPHS. Again we had a number of boys in the sports program. Jim Krantz, Moose May, Bob Brown, Kenny Parry, A1 Gilkison, Roy Dayton, Bill Davenport, and Gene Barklow all played on the Varsity Squad in football. The highlight of the season was the Armistice Day game, when we rolled over Coquille with a score of 27-6. In Basketball Jim, Roy, Moose, and Clell Laird played on the A-Squad. Special honors the Junior year were given to Marilyn Greene In Commerce, Charles Bingham in Math, and Evelyn Hall in Social Science and Music. Our class was selected as the class contributing most to the school. Our Junior Play Miss Jimmy left many memories of work and fun, and as we left school that spring we were most determined to make good as Seniors. Bill Floyd Interclass Sports 12; Hobby Shop 1234.

Our class officers for the final year were all boys until Jim Krantz gave up his position as secretary to Evelyn Hall. Moose May was president, Ken Parry was Vice President; Rodney Dalton, Sgt. -at-Arms; Bob Whitaker. Class Representative;and Clell Laird, Treasurer. Mr. Kittredge and Mrs. Harper, our advisors, guided us through this last year and helped to prepare us for the vast unknown future.

The Senior year got off to a good start as the carnival came and went, leaving with us the reward of a job well done. We took first and second prizes for the best decorated booths and our Queen candidate, Karen Barklow, was crowned queen of the evening. The class organized a Senior Social Night at which time we would meet at the Scout Building for an evening of fun and dancing. These times will not be soon forgotten. We were all proud of our class president, Moose May, when Mr. Beckham gave him his football jersey for being a four year letterman. We were also honored when Jim Krantz made the District All-Star Team and Moose was given honorable mention.

Our Senior Assembly was ahilarious one with memorable classroom scenes and the acting out of the Shooting of Dan McGrew . Mr. Kittredge did an excellent job of managing it, though at times he had his doubts as to whether or not it would be a success. Mr. Kittredge and Mrs. Harper were pleasantly surprised as the class honored them, at the close of the assembly, with Christmas presents. We finished the year in grand style, climaxing events with Skip Day, and all the events surrounding Graduation. The class presented a gift to the school to be applied on the football scoreboard. We will long remember these years at MPHS.

WILL We, the class of 1951, being of sound mind and body, do hereby will and bequeath our last earthly possessions. To the Juniors we leave our two front rows of chairs in assembly and our supremacy around school in general. To the Sophomores, we leave Mr. Rinearson, he has longed to be rid of us. To the Freshmen, we will our ability to win the award as the class contributing the most to the welfare of the school. We realize they have contributed something, but just what, we're not sure. To the faculty, we will be gone soon--take heart. To the school as a hole we leave--hoping we have set precedents to be long enjoyed???

We hear the mournful sounds of devoted men and women whose tears are being shed for two of their dearest friends, Jerene Davenport and Paul Parkinson. It seems they met up with an accident!!! Just for fun let's follow them and see what happens. They seem to be floating, but something must be wrong, they’re floating heaven-ward. Upon arrival, St. Peter directs them to the best tailor in town to have their gowns fitted. Now they're all ready to look down and see what they've been missing lately. What's this we see? Well, if it isn't Don Adams training for his title bout with Jersey Joe Laird. Roy Dayton has just broken his contract with the Hoosier-Hot-Shots to accept the position of Don's manager. The match is to be held in Madison Square Gardens where Raymond Floyd is floor manager. Gee whiz, it seems that Myrtle Point’s lowest class of men are all down from the hills. Their Ring Leader , Burly Bill, Builder of Stilts, heads the line-up at the theater. Well, now we see what the trouble is. It's an old friend of ours. Rose Warner, billed as Slinky Rose, the Slinkiest of Burlesque Queens. Her Co-star is Sanford Tripp, Bubble-Dancer . The scene now changes to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where the center of attraction is Professor Dalton displaying his prize guinea pig, Ellis Pointer. Also, at the convention we see Gerald Aasen, inventor of the super-sonic flivver, Phil Mast, who has invented an unsinkable tanker; and Bob Whitaker, inventor of a self-steering car for better romancing. Since we're half way across the U. S. we might as well make it a day and go half way round the world. As our gaze shifts to the East we see the busy personality of Virginia Butler who is a missionary in China. On our way back to Myrtle Point we see Emma Jean Hester running pellmell down the road. Since our curiosity gets the better of us we wander a little farther to see why she is running. Lo and behold—it's the Deaver Bros. Circus. Our attention is attracted by the sideshow where the barker is, much to our surprise, Gene Barklow. We leave the circus and start the journey southward. Traveling through Oklahoma we come across Miss Jeanne Johnson’s School for the Financially Disabled Oklahoma Oakies. She is reporting to her class on her interview with Frank May, who has replaced George Lyman Kittredge as the World's Foremost Authority on Shakespeare. Going through Denver, Colorado, we run into Bob Brown, who says he is seeking additional members for his Alcoholics Anonymous Club. He seems to be having pretty good luck. One of his newest recruits is Kenny Parry who supplies a great number of alcoholics with ye 'ole corn likker , from his still on Catching Creek. On our way through California we drop into Hollywood where we are just in time to see Frances Crook receive her Oscar for the Academy Award. Further up the line we come to Dement and Dunn's Secretarial School for Redheads, located at San Jose State. Guess who's in charge, none other than our favorite Redhead, Marilyn Greene. Traveling along Highway 42, we hear the boom of the sawed-off shotgun. We flutter a -cross the pastures just to find the standing argument between the Davenports and the Jennings, Hermitress and Hermit of the Sitkum Hills. It seems that Gay still owes him 25? for the night it didn't rain. On up the valley we see a large crowd. I do believe it’s at the Evernden House where Kenny Hartley has just become the new head of the house. It seems that Jackie Norris has caught the bride's bouquet, but it probably won't do her much good as Jo is still spending Don’s money and therefore, he can't pay for his car so he and Jackie can get married. Back down in Myrtle Point we find Esther Oberman still haunting the post office for a letter from Max. As we wander down the street we see many familiar faces. There's Glenn Farrin, driving his own bus. I guess he finally jewed Koral Martin down to his side of the fence. Next we see Bill Floyd who is repairing the plumbing of one of the larger offices in town, where we see Kenny Vines still on the rampage--it seems he has just started the Woman Hater Movement but doesn't seem to be accomplishing much. On down the street we see Lora Tams just closing the deal on the Myrtlewood Bakery. It seems she wants to raise little Bakers. Well, what have we here, The Barrow’s Drug Store--the operator--Peggy Kincheloe. Are we seeing things? It looks like Karen Barklow and Jim Haga. We thought they passed out of the picture a long time ago. They have kicked the bucket, but with all these new tangled inventions you can see right through the earth into the place below. There goes Marilyn Roberts jumping off a roof. We heard that she can hardly wait to join Jim. Hey, where’s that bus-load of kids going? For Heaven's sake, it's Evelyn Hall and Ji m Krantz with their football team. Let's go along and see where they are headed. Here we are at Oregon State College. As we follow Jim, Evelyn and the kids, we begin to wonder what it is all about. We enter a door; just to find it's the office of LeRoy Cosner, Head of the Oregon State Dept, of Higher Education. We stop and visit awhile and then he directs us to the Head Football Coach, Charlie Bingham. Now we get it. Jim and Evelyn are trading their football team for a herd of cows. Can you imagine—Charlie at Oregon State!!! Evelyn and Jim ought to get together with Zola McCormick and Bob W. They have 13 little mazolians. Looks like they've been pretty busy. Since the tragic death of Mr. and Mrs. Melby, it was left up to Lois Waters to raise the children. Her next door neighbor is Lewis Southmayd, who is Grand Master of the Oregon Grange. Lois is having a pretty bad time with him as he lets his chickens run in her lovely spring garden. This is about to create a neighborhood feud. In her spare time Delores McLeod, Head Nurse at the Mast Hospital, runs a love-lorn column in the daily paper. Last, but not least, we come upon Barbara Shull. She always did have her nose to the grindstone, but she's so busy now, she doesn't even have time for Glenn. Barbara owns Shull's Super Sharp Toothpick factory. Well, after such a day as this Paul and Jerene are pretty tired, and they haven't even started to look around Heaven yet, so we better say good-bye.

We presented as our class play, the Brat, with Louise McCormick playing the lead. The supporting cast consisted of Stanley Roberts, Colleen Morris, Reta Keller, Ted McElwain, Pat Weber, Irel Wooden, Mary Schuessler, Jack Downey, Dick Briggs, and Betty Lou Meyer. The play was directed by Mr. Burrows with Shirley Babcock as h i s student assistant. Loretta Wilson and Gloria Taylor were prompters; LaWayne Howe was stage manager; and Glenda Putnam, Elizabeth Wiley, and Eloise Hartley were ushers. We sponsored several popcorn and candy sales to help boost the treasury; we also had the concessions at the Armistice Day game with Coquille. Our Class took third place for the best booth at the school carnival and our girls took first place in interclass volleyball. The Junior-Senior Prom was very successfully carried out using the theme of The Enchanted Forest .

Our class decreased in size from our Freshman year at 84 to 73, but we still make ourselves seen arel heard. One of the main events of our Sophomore Class was the initiation, which everyone enjoyed, after which we treated the Freshman class to sandwiches and pop. The Sophomore Class Assembly was a big success this year, as was our box social and dance. We were very proud of our Sophomore, Kay Mast, who lettered in Varsity Football; and of Harrison Bryant, Stanley Morris, Jim Myers, Stanford Dickie Walton, and Lathan Westrope who played on the Varsity Basketball team. Also we were honored to have two of our Sophomore girls chosen for Yell Leaders. They were Darlene Moore and Charlene Forrest. Our hearty thanks go to Mrs. Downing and Mr. Neugart, our class advisors this year, for the help they have given us.

Arlene Aasen was selected as class President; Alan Train, Vice President; Sgt. -at-Arms, Bill Briggs; Shirley Davenport, Secretary; and Keith Smith, Representative to the Student Council.

Coach Dale Bunnell, Advisor Football Coach Dale Bunnell took over as head man in football for the Bobcats this year. He was faced with a rebuilding program with only two experienced players from last year, these were Frank, Moose , May and Jim Krantz. The season this year consisted of nine games, of which the Bobcats won one, tied one, and lost seven. The first game was played at Coquille on Sept. 8 with the Red Devils taking a 27-0 victory over the Bobcats. The Toledo Boomers came to Myrtle Point Sept. 15 and played a very hard fought game which ended in a 0-0 deadlock. We then traveled to Coos Bay Sept. 22 to lose to a very strong Pirate team 31-6. Our next game was at Roseburg on Sept. 29, where a hard game was played with the Indians winning 19-7. The Bobcats stayed home the next game on Oct. 6 and lost to the Ashland Grizzlies 32-0 in one of the muddiest games of the season. The next game was a different story when the Reedsport Braves invaded Bobcat territory Oct. 13 to take a 34-0 beating from our team. We got back in the old rut when the North Bend Bulldogs led in a 20-7 victory over the Myrtle Point squad on Oct. 27. A strengthening Bobcat team was swamped, Nov. 11 when the Red Devils from Coquille led in a 39-13 victory. This was the first Armistice Day game that the Red Devils have won from Myrtle Point in 5 years. The Junior Varsity team had a very unsuccessful season this year, losing all nine of their games, but gaining valuable football experience. The J. V. Games were as follows: M. P. 0 ♦Bandon 52 M.

Our next game was on our home floor where we clawed the Nehalem Quint 33-29. We then journeyed to Roseburg where the Indians defeated us 60-37. In a return engagement the next night we were again beaten 61-31 by the Indians from Roseburg. The Bobcats began a winning streak the next weekend when the Central Point squad was beaten in two home games. The scores read M. P. 47 - C P 34 M. P. 61 - C.P. 43. Basketball The Medford Tornados were the next victims of the rampaging Bobcats when they lost 44-45. The Ashland Grizzlies were tamed the next night in a very close gamp The score M. P. 54 - Ash. 53. In a return engagement at Ashland our victory streak was broken when the Grizzles won 49 - 34. In our last pre-district game the Rogue River Indians took their tomahawks and beat our squad 31 - 28. Upon entering district play the Marshfield Pirates sneaked a 20-18 victory from our squad, in an overtime thriller. The Pirates won again the next night, 34 - 25. Our next two games were with North Bend where we were beaten 53 - 28; 57 - 25. Our ancient enemies, the Coquille Red Devils, played us next and we were beaten 45 - 28. In a return engagement the Bobcats came out with a 4 Pt. victory over the Red Devils. The score 36 - 32. As the second round of district play began the Pirates of Marshfield took two more games 65-32 and 42-15, as did the North Bend Bulldogs 61-36 and 74-53. Then, as the last games of the season were played the Bobcat squad was mighty discouraged as Coquille Red Devils won 41-34 and 41-49. Len Rinearson was head coach this year. The Bobcat B Squad directed by Coach Dale Bunnell, had a very unsuccessful season - winning none of their games. B Squad Scores for the Season: Reedsport 47 M.

April 7 Coquille, Myrtle Point, Roseburg 14 Coquille Relays 20 Hayward Relays 27 Coos County Meet May 1 Dual Meet 5 Sub-District Meet 12 District Meet 18-19 State Meet I ntramurals The Intramural program was introduced into the school sports system for the first time this year. The boys' program, directed by Mr. Bunnell, consisted of volleyball, basketball, track, softball, and individual competition in ping-pong, tennis, and horseshoes. Each class has a number of teams, depending upon the size of the class, with each team consisting of approximately twelve players. The boys started off in volleyball playing a double elimination tournament. The two Senior teams, captained by Roy Dayton and Frank May, came out on top with first and second places. The two Junior teams of Al Cunningham and Bill Brooks took third and fourth places. The boys’ basketball was another round robin contest with the Senior teams again winning the top honors—Dayton's team first, and May's team second; Cunningham's Junior team took third, and Bill Brigg's Frosh team took fourth. The girls teams, directed by Miss Thien, were set up similar to the boys and they started the program with a soccer tournament. After a series of fast and furious games, the contest ended with the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore teams holding a three-way tie for first place and with no time to run a playoff. The two Frosh teams ended up in the cellar. The Girls teams in volleyball were setup with members of all classes on each team. The contest ended with Diane Lehman's team first, and Louise McCormick's team second. The girls then had basketball during their PE periods, with play-offs between teams in each class. Later on, in the spring, in individual competition sports were run off in Badminton, Shuffleboard, Deck Tennis and Table Tennis.
