HOLLIS HUNTINGTON Athletic Coaches COACI-I HOLLIS HUNTINGTON an- nouncement of retiring this year, strikes a jarring note for the many students and friends of Salem high who have thought of Coach Huntington and S.l-l.S. as inseparable in the realm of sports. Mr. Huntington was a star athlete at The Dalles high school from which he entered the Uinversity of Oregon. He was a near all-American and had the honor of being one of the few men to play three years in the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Accepting the position of coach here in 1922, Holly immediately estab- lished Salem high as a strong competi- tor in Oregon high school sport circles. He developed some highly perfected gridiron elevens. Several of his squads were state championship contenders, the last being the undefeated team of 1934. Basketball, like football, was a sport in which I-luntington's coaching was a championship factor as is illustrated by the four tournament championships won by his teams. Baseball also was successful under his leadership. VERNON GILMORE VERNON GILMORE, physical instruc- tor and track coach, has definitely es- tablished himself in the field of com- petitive and recreational athletics in this locality. Besides his extensive duties at senior high, lvlr. Gilmore has full charge of the city intramural or- ganization and in the summer is super- visor of the dity playground system. Since his selection as physical edu- cation instructor in 1929, Mr. Gilmore has established an enviable record. l-lis track squads have always been strong contenders for the state title and sev- eral of his individual stars have de- veloped into well-known college com- petitors. This year's fine Viking track team is regarded as a serious threat for the state championship and is probably the best squad he has ever developed. As an instructor in the many gym classes Mr. Gilmore has come in con- tact with all the boys and has worked out one of the most efficient physical education programs in the state. l-le himself, a star athlete at Benson high and Oregon State College, is a valuable asset to all Salem high lettermen, through their association with him as S club adviser during one of its most successful regimes.

S Club THE completion of another successful school year under the supervision of Vernon Gilmore, faculty adviser, is the story of the Salem high S club in 1935-Bo. The group, constituted entirely of athletic lettermen, again proved itself a power- ful and cooperative group by successfully staging its various annual functions throughout the two semesters. Headed by Cecil Quesseth, presidentg and jack Oglesby, secretary, the S clubbers again proved to be a decided school asset by their success in staging the tournament dances on the latter three nights of the basketball festival and as a result gave aid to the meagerly financed spring sports. Harry Wesleys orchestra provided music, and the three dances were declared by authorities to be the best conducted in school history. In the latter part of April, the S club again come to the front when they staged their annual smokeless smoker starring school talent. With a large crowd the mixed events were staged in smooth fashion and again one of the clubs spon- sored affairs was a success. Webb Traglio served as general chairman for this attraction with able assistance from all the members. Soon after the smoker, the long awaited festivity took placewthe annual ice cream feed for lettermen. Besides the regular members, Dean lX4abel Robertson and Hollis Huntington were the additional guests present. Uther than social events the A' S club, to the delight of the students present in the assembly, presented their annual chorus initiation of new athletic participants. Under the direction of Howard Damon and Muriel Kaster, recruited dance instruc- tor, the initiates, garbed in feminine Finery, displayed their shapely Ggures to the amusement of all present. This dance display occurred early inxlanuary during the all-club assembly. The club, besides assisting within the school, has carried on charitable projects in institutions situated in this locality. 9l
