OAKRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL The school year of 1936-1937 will long be remembered as an outstand- ing one for Oakridge High School. The high school has gradually grown in size from its beginning in 1921 as a one-teacher school to the five-teacher school of this year. During the summer of 1936 a mechanical drawing room, a home economics room, lunchroom, and manual training rooms were com- pleted in the basement. These were equipped with the best of equipment. The new subjects and activities added to the curriculum were: Home Econom- ics, including sewing and cooking; Manual Training; Girls’ League and Hi-Y. This is the first time in the history of the school that the enrollment has exceeded one hundred. The students and faculty appreciate the new school facilities and join hands in thanking the school officials and patrons of both Oakridge and Westfir for assisting in the growth of the Oakridge High School.

Scene—A stateroom occupied by Ruth Smallwood and Marian Sorenson. Time—Twenty-five years hence. Marian: Here we all are once again, wasn’t it nice of Bud to invite the entire class of ’37 on a pleasure jaunt to Catalina Island on Mr. and Mrs. Sprague’s wedding anniversary? Remember at their wedding the groom wore ankle length trousers and a coat with wrist length sleeves? Ruth: Yes, yes, and since Bud has inherited the immense fortune of his wealthy step uncle he is the third richest man in the world. Marian: And just think he can well afford a ship like this with a fine swimming pool, and dancing on deck os we did tonight. What a change twenty-five years can make. Bud told me that the dance programs were de- signed by Raymond Bates. Raymond edits the Honolulu Intelligencer . He went to Hono- lulu in hopes of getting acquainted with a few of the hula dancers. Ruth: Speaking again of the dance to- night, wasn’t Dorman Ellis’ singing simply heavenly? You knew, I suppose, that he is being sued by Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee for stealing their popularity as crooners. Marion: Oh, that reminds me, Willis Rob- inson is being sued by Onata Greer for breach of promise, and should be in jail this very minute, but James Walker, warden at Sing Sing, paroled him for this occasion. Ruth: And he was such a nice boy . . . tsk, tsk. I was glad to see that Anna Bee Fisher was able to come. She and Lloyd Stan- ley have had their marriage license for twen- ty-five years and have had it renewed every year as they always expect to be married in June, but Lloyd postponed it until he adds one more dollar to his bank account. Marian: And Omar Kelsay running a cor- respondence school on How Amateurs Can Learn to Make Love at a Distance in Ten Lessons ! He is assisted at times by Donna Woodruff, but not often, as she devotes most of her time to her home ond family. Ruth: My, my, he should be good at that. Anyway he got lots of practice while in Eng- lish class. Lena Mae was telling me awhile ago that she is teaching the Chinese women modern methods of cooking. She got her in- structions from Miss Wetterstroms' Home Economics class. Marian: And to think I was a member of that very class. Did you know Gront Carpen- ter, formerly the tall thin man of the Sells F.oto C reus, has started an elephant farm in Lowell, Oregon? Business is big and ele- phants are reported going fast. Ruth: Yes, I heard about his wonderful success and say—believe it or not . . . Oak- ridge hos a real hermit living on the summit of Diamond Peak. Earl Clark has withdrawn from all society. Too bad because he would have made an ideal husband for some girl. Think of his turning out to be an old man of the mountain”. Marian: It’s almost beyond my power to think of such a catastrophy. My, how I do wish Philip Dimick and June Allen could have been here. But then the two of them will be together since June is entertaining Philip, the President of the United States, at dinner this evening at her home in Hyde Park. He said that the foundation of h.s career was laid while he was president of our class. Why just last week I read in the Times where he is the most popular president since the one preceding him. There is som? talk of doing away with the present form of government and crowning him the first King of the Unit- ed States. Ruth: Goodness grocious! Who would ever 6 THE OAK 19 3 7 19 3 7 have thought we could have been such close friends of such a brilliant man? Marian: By the way Ruth whot are you do- ing now? Ruth: Oh, I'm still up to my old tricks— dodging matrimony—and being beseiged from all sides. Marian: I only wish someone would ask me just once. I have dreamed, longed, hoped, pleaded—given-up—oh, what a thrill it must be! Ruth: Oh come, come, Marian, don’t feel badly, why Dorothy Hall who was always so popular has just been jilted for the fifth time and is now opening a beauty parlor. She specializes in hair dressing for young men. Marian: Thanks,—Lloyd Henson has pros- pered marvelously. He’s teaching French in O. H. S., and everyone of his nine children speak French fluently. Ruth: Yes, I have heard about those won- derful French orators and say did you know that James McLarrin is introducing financial problems to Congress as speaker of the House? He has contributed development for the pros- perity of the United States. SAarian : I always did think he would go to the top. Henry Wilcox is at present living a happy life as manager of the City of Ookridge and suburbs. He has improved the city to such a degree that it has been classed as one of the three most beautiful cities of the world. Ruth: After talking over such strenuous affairs it certainly does make one feel tired and sleepy doesn’t it? Morion: I certainly does. And for me, I’m more than reody to retire. Goodnight. Ruth: Goodnight. SENIOR WILL I, Lena Mae Mattoon, do bequeath my abil- ity to be late four times a week to Frances Briscoe.

The Junior class of 'J6 and 'J7 has shown great leadership during their three years in high school. Five juniors were Honor Stud- ents. Many of these upper classmen earned letters in basketball, baseball, and football. The class presented a Junior play, The Charm School, on April 10th which was a success and aided in making the Junior and Senior banquet and prom successful. M iss Wetterstrom acted as class adviser. • Sophomore Class The sophomore class officers are: Presi- dent. Jesmer Fisher; Secretary. Gale Varrel- mann; Treasurer. Elizabeth Wert. This class has been one of the most out- standing classes in sports in recent years. The following students have been awarded let- ters. Girls: Naomi Allen. Doris W’alker, and Jesmer Fisher. Boys: Allard Smith. Garold Spatz. Gale Varrelmann, Oral Rogers. Duane Ellifson, Gordon Stanley. Gerald Burtraw. Murl Randall and George Meacham.

One of the important functions of the Freshman Class was the Frosh Edition of the Hi-Breeze. It was printed on green paper. The Freshmen very successfully gave the Sophomores, upper classes, the alumni, and the members of the school board a Hal- loween Freshman Return Party. Inter-class basketball games were played with the Fresh- man losing the majority of them. A Freshman Quartet was formed of four freshman boys. Jack Robinson, Calvin Rog- ers, Ned Le Gualt, and Ralph Lyon. June Miller was the only Freshman to earn a letter in athletics. 8 1937 THE OAK 1937 • GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Back row: Dunning, Miller, Jones, Allen, Walker, Noland.

The various boys’ teams were rather slow in developing because a great number of the players of last year had graduated. The football team was lighter this year than in 1935 and consequently had some trouble with the larger teams. The senior players Dorman Ellis, Willis Robinson, Henry Wilcox, Ernest Enright, Bruce Lansberry, Philip Dim- ick, and James McLarrin were outstanding performers and will be a loss to the team of next year. Oakridge High School has always been noted for their splendid basket- ball teams. This year we had a very good team although many of the veteran last year players graduated and left only Earl Clark, our center, to lead the way for our men. At the first of the season we were rather slow but when they arrived at the tournament they were hard to beat. The girls' basketball team, coached by Miss Lever, had a very successful season winning all their games but one, which they lost to Mohawk. They won all of their games in the B League tournament until the finals where they lost to Mohawk and received the runner-up championship trophy. Those winning all star awards were lola Dunning, Leona Blakely, and Onata Greer. Donna Woodruff and Dorothy Hall received positions on the second team. In baseball, although Oakridge didn't win the championship, the boys did fine in defeating Pleasant Hill for the first time on record in this sport. The game was very close the score being 5-4. Bill McCoy, the southpaw pitcher hurled nice ball and came out of a number of tight places. The scores for the 1936 baseball season and also last years games is included in the columns below.

Jones; a Mothers’ tea which was spon- sored by the Home Economics girls, and for both the Junior and Senior plays. Besides the Operetta one of our special events was the broadcast over KORE. Due to the ffact that it was their grand opening O. H. S. was very proud to be able to take part in the program. The broadcast was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary of the Cascade Post No. 64. In place of the Annual Music contest this year, the Lane County schools took part in a Music Festival of which Oakridge was a par- ticipant. The combined Glee Club con- sisting of some fifty students attended this festival. This year the Glee Clubs attempted a few- more difficult numbers, such as: The Great Awakening' , Kramer-Barlow; And the Glory , from Handel's Messiah ; The Sleigh . Kauntz Reeger; Listen to the Lambs , by Dett. • Hi-Y The school term 1936-37 has brought many new and interesting activities to O. H. S.

It wu first suggested by Mr. handles. Mr. Alvin E. Tempter was the director for two months and Mr. Crook later took his place so that meetings could be held during the evening instead of conflicting with regular classes. The orchestra consists of pupils who play the following instruments: saxophone, trombone, violin, piano, clarinett. drum, and trumpets. Until recently the orchestra ha developed rather slowly, but with the continued advancement of the pupils it is hoped that by next year a large band or orchestra may be achieved. • Home Economics Twenty-four girls took Home Economics this year for the first time in the history of O. H. S. The kitchen is conveniently equipped with an electric range, a wood stove, two sinks, work tables, cooking utensils and cupboards. Cafeteria lunches were served during the cold weather in the lunchroom adjoining the kitchen. An Honor banquet and a Mothers' Tea were undertaken and put over by the cooking class. Three sewing machines made it possible for the girls to take sewing in the spring and fall. Each girl has gained valuable practical ex- perience which will help her in years to come. • Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing For the first time in the history of Oak- ridge High School, manual training and me- chanical drawing were taught as regular sub- jects. The Manual Training Class is equipped with a circular saw. a band saw, a lathe, an emery, and two fine hard-wood work benches. During the year the students in the classes and on N. Y. A. work built some lockers and a tool cabinet for the various hand tools. The Mechanical Drawing room is equipped with indirect lighting, sound proof walls, and has a very good ventilating system. • THE ART CLASS This year the combined boys and girls art class started with lettering, perspective drawing and the drawing of objects from still life. They then designed posters for the senior play and took up blending of water colors. They learned how to make up other colors from the primary colors, and how to produce them on the color wheel in their natural order. As a Christmas project the class made popcorn plates by painting and shellacking paper plates. They also made hot-dish holder containers to be used as gifts. For the next project the class was busy carving soap from which they made models of animals in the miniature size. 13 19 3 7 THE OAK 19 3 7 • SENIOR PLAY The Senior play this year The Whole Town’s Talking a three-act com- edy, was presented December 3rd.
