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.

ggi I i Home Economics Club THIS year, as in the years before, the Home Economics club has carried off its many activities with thoroughness. The Bazaar, the initiation, the luncheons, the candy sale, and the biggest event of the year, the forthcoming Style Show, hold the attention of the members. The aprons, needles, and thimbles worn by certain girls on November I4 were not for a practical purpose. They constituted a part of the initiation which was completed that evening in lj during a formal ceremony. Throughout the year, several members serve on the service committee . As the name implies, it is their duty to serve the clubg and among other things they make the numerals for the Cwirls' Letter club. Unfortunately, it is impossible to give an account of the Style Show, since it is not held until the last week or two of school. However, a successful show is an- ticipated under the capable leadership of the vice president, Marian Mitchell. At that time all wearing apparel made during the year will be presented in a style review. In addition the club pins are given to the members who have been voted upon by present owners of the pins and the advisers, Mrs. Eula S. Creech and Miss lN4arian Gary. The girl who has done the most for the benefit of the club and whose character is highest receives the .Julia Creech cup, the highest award given to Home Economics club members. Last year Sedonia Keith received this honor. Honor pins were given to Marian Hultenberg, Frances French, Vivian Noth, Charlotte McKee, Phyllis Leedy and Mary Frances Entress. Girl Reserves THE S.H.S. group of the lnternationalC1irl Reserves, the organization sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., and popularly known as the Tri-Y, has more than doubled its membership during the past year. Under the guidance of Mrs. l-l. jockimsen, the club has followed out its program of service projects and self-improve- ment. Through voluntary contributions from the mem.bers and advisers it has given aid to the children at the Tuberculosis hospital. At some of their meetings they have held open discussionson requested topics with an eye toward self-im- provement. The most outstanding event of the year for the Tri-Y's was the Annual Mid- winter Conference during the last week-end in january for which the Salem group, under their president Louise Hayes, were hostesses. In attendance were 250 T ri-Y's from all over the state. On April 18, under the new president, Esther Mae Devore, the last big event of the year, the Folk Festival, was held. 88
