Text from Pages 1 - 24 of the 1935 volume:

Completed 1929 Oakridge High School was first organized as a four year high school in the fall of 1921. The building was rather small and located east of the present location of the Cascade Utilities office but during the same year the building was moved to a location south of the present Post Office. Mrs. Lawrence H 11s was the first teacher and there were seven students in school. The next high school, the Legion Hall now, was used until 1929 when the present modern building was completed.

Paddock Sayre Sprague Thompson Varrelman Woodruff $tudent Gouncil The Student Body officers for this year were: Jerry Varrelman, Presi- dent; Lauren Gale, Vice-President; Ruth Shepherd, Secretary and Tyke Nelson, Treasurer. These officers along with the Presidents of the respective classes and the athletic managers under the supervision of Mr. Sprague constituted the Student Council which was the governing body of the High School. This group has done very much toward making the school year of ’34-’35 one of great success. 5 May 3, 1955 Dear Diary: Since my partner, Lauren Gale, and I have retired from our business of producing concentrated food pills, we’ve decided to look up our old class- mates of 1935. May, 4 Late last night we landed in Oakridge in our auto-gyro-plane. Only one of our dear friends was still living there, he being. Max Greer. Max told us he was an archeologist, and was hunting for dinosaurs in Dead Moun- tain. From Eleanor’s folks we found out Eleanor had a job as head book- keeper with an insurance firm in Denver until it went broke. Then she married her boss and is now’ living on a small farm near Eugene. May 10 In Paris wre located a few' more of our classmates. In one of the tea houses we met Edythe Blanton, who told us she had become the wife of Mr. Detour in 1945. She had given up her work as dress designer in Paris. She also told us about Jerry Varrelman for whom we had held great hopes as an athlete, but he is now a Paris gigolo and accomplished tango dancer. May 20 In the Washington D. C. Library we met Lucille Weber, formerly Lucille Fisher. Although professors have said that marriage and a career doesn’t mix, she has for the past ten years brought up a family of six and held her job. May 22 Today we happened to meet a small old lady on the street, whom we recognized as Miss Rinnell, (now Mrs. J. Rockford). She told us that Perry Thompson had become a famous lawyer after graduating from the Crooked Law' School, but died of a broken heart when he failed to prove his wife was innocent of a framed charge. Miss Rinnell informed us that Wayne Smith had become a Big Baseball Leaguer. In 1942 he became the favorite circus clow n in the Four Ring Circus. May 25 While stopping in Washington, we were leafing through the Telephone Directory and found Lilly Natterlund’s name printed in large letters, as proprietor of an institute for stray alley cats. We learned from her rela- tions that she had been disappointed in love and taken up this as her life’s work after her husband had died. May 27 Last night w’e went to an opera and heard Madame Drucella sing, “The Silver Moon.’’ Talking w’ith her later, we found out that she had contin- ued her music since high school and was now married. June 1 When stopping at the Grand Hotel in Philadephia we were greeted by 6 Beth Nixon, formerly Beth Woodruff. She is the wife of the proprietor and is the hotel hostess. She told us the sad fate of Edythe Sprague, who had become an aviatrix and during one of her spectacular flights she crash- ed and was instantly killed. June 10 Today we were in an antique shop, where we were surprised to find the last one of our classmates, Pearl Paddock. She had spent her life teaching but now it was her hobby to collect antiques. June 11 More surprises! Today Lauren came to me and asked me if I d finance his expedition to Mars.' He explained that for the past ten years he’d secretly planned this trip in his new invention, Gyro-Scopic plane. Ima- gine! Here I’d been looking up all my friends in the far corners of the earth and I didn't even know what my partner, Lauren was doing. Since I’m going to get up early tomorrow to plan for that trip to Mars, I'll say good-night, dear diary.

Beatrice Steep- row. and sec.-treas., J. L. Fisher. In the year of 1932 there ap- peared at O.H.S. thirty-one awk- ward and embarrassed students. We. the juniors of today, were those 31 students who made up the freshman class of ’32 and '33. In the following year there was the same number of us. New’ as- surance had come to us for we were no longer ‘green freshmen, but very “grown-up sophomores. This year, on the opening school day, we found that our ranks had diminished. Only 25 juniors started school this year. Being no longer under-class- men. we are trying to uphold our position as upper-classmen. Sophomore Glass The present sophomores begun their high school career at Oak- ridge by electing their class offi- cers for 1933-34. The two out- standing activities of their fresh- men year w’ere. the organizing of basketball teams (playing the grade schools and winning) and the freshmen return party. Both were successful features. Beginning their second year, the elected, Onata Oreer, presi- dent, Annual Bee Fisher, vice- president. and Lena May Matoon, Secretary, as their class officers. This class also initiated the freshmen in the school life and ac- tivities. Members of this class helped to bring in the honors for high school basketball this year.

The freshmen class were ini- tiated into O.H.S. by the sopho- mores Friday, Septem her 28. 1934. The freshmen boys basketball team played four games with the grade school this year. They w’ere unfortunate in that they lost the first three, winning only the last game. The girls played two games with the grade school. They won the first and lost the second. The biggest event in the fresh- men activities w’as the freshmen return party. This party was given for the sophomores.

During the past four years nine cups and trophies nave been won and the schools’ new trophy case is about full. Although a school can’t expect to win always we sincerely hope and know O.H.S. will do its best. Giris a nd fBoi s (Basketball The girls' basketball team, under Miss Smith, had a very successful season winning all their games up to the “B” League Tournament. They won their first game in the tournament but lost the second to Mohawk, who later won the championship. The boys’ basketball team, coached by Mr. Sprague had the most event- ful season in the history of the School. They played thirty-two games, w li- ning twenty-six and losing but six. They swept thru the County and District Tournament and won their first two games at the State Tourna- ment. They lost the third game to Astoria, 33-20, who went thru to win the State Championship. The boys’ team brought honor to the school and also to our communities. Several of the boys were named on the County and District All-Star teams and two on the State All-Star team including, F. L. Fisher, guard and Lauren Gale, center. (Jirls and (Boijs baseball Last year the boys’ baseball team had a fairly successful season in that they only lost one conference game, this being to Pleasant Hill and two non-conference games to Springfield. The boys ended the season with a percentage of 750, winning nine out of twelve games. The 1934-35 girls’ baseball team played four games, winning three and having a persentage of 750. The g'rls’ baseball team split the series with Pleasant Hill, who won the championship. ylctivitieS fTfi- Breeze The O.H.S. newspaper, the Hi-P.reeze was started in 1929-30 under the supervision of Miss Stofiel. A staff was organized with Dorothy Long as the first editor. The mast-head was drawn by Mrs. Dugal, who lived in Oakridge at that time. The paper con- tained four pages and was issued once a week. The first year there were twenty-two numbers published. The following year Miss Rinnell came to the school and be- came faculty advis- er. The ed tor that year was Lois Walk- er, succeeding ones have been Charles Paddock, Clarence Bates, Lauren Gale, who was elected for year 1934-35. 10 I (Dramatics The dramatics department, di- rected by Miss Mildred Kinnell, was one of the schools’ first or- ganized activities. The first play presented this year was the senior play, “Thru the Keyhole,” a three-act comedy. It was presented by the senior class of O.H.S. on November twen- ty-third for the purpose of rais- ing funds for the annual trip to Salem. The students in the play were: Wayne Smith (who played the part of Grandma very welll Lauren Gale, Lilly Natterlund, Edythe Sprague, Perry Thompson, Beth Woodruff, Gerald Varrelman. and Max Greer. Fred Dorfler and John Bert were the property man- agers and Bill McCoy handled the lighting. Pearl Paddock and Lu- cille Fisher w’ere in charge of the costumes.
