OAKRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK OAKRIDGE, OREGON PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE OAKRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL Tolewold . . . The Senior class of the Oakridge High School is publishing this annual as a chronicle of the events of the school year of 1939-1940. May it serve as a pleasant remembrance of these school days in the years to come. We have selected as our theme for this book the new Willamette highway, be- cause we feel that its construction is repre- sentative of the progress that is being made in America today along the lines of commerce and education. This highway is a forward step in the development of the West and will open to tourists the natural beauties of this part of Oregon. On the better highways of the future the American people will travel—in the im- proved schools of the future the youth of our nation will learn to be better Americans. 2 Dedication. . . . To our principal and friend, Virgil Kingsley, the staff affec- lionatel dedicates this annual The Wate all . . . The sunlight's retreating, The shadows start to fall; A silver waterfall is leaping In Ihe mystery of a woodland hall. A waterfall is leaping Into a foaming, whirling pool— Drops of water; spraying With the brilliance of a thousand jewels. Wild beasts are coming, slowly, Silently, down to the river's brink. Deer with their spotted fawn Come out on the sandy shore to drink. And farther down the river Swiftly flowing waters, deep and cool, Find a moment of rest In the silence of a woodland pool. —B.

Alone? Yet whose eyes I see so clearly; Those lips divine that pour their sweetness Over me in dim reality? Alone I seem, Yet whence would come such dreams if you weren't near? Alone? Yet your voice is the one I hear Above all other sounds through the years. Till life Be done, I'll sense your constancy. Alone I seem, Yet on my hair there seems to fall a caiess. Alone? Yet steps upon the stair Sound more certain now.—Is this the peak Of my imaginings, or are you really there? —J. M. How sweet the rain! How softly it falls! Through the night-dark The rain voice calls. How peaceful the rain! How magic its song! Piiter-patter, pitter-patter, All the night long. Rain falls Through the night; Rain falls — and whispers — Until the break of dawn; But when the night gees There is no magic in the rain. —B. C. Upon a barren hilltop So bleak, so desolate, and grey, Stands a lonely windmill Wearily waiting, watching the dying day. Gone are the days of its usefulness; The once proud sails have rotted away. A night wind gently rustles the dangling shutters— Calling softly to those within; But they have passed from his earth for- ever And the mill, slowly, so slowly, falls in. —N.

COLORS: Rose and Silver FLOWER: White carnation OFFICERS: Loren Wilson, president Nina Kelsay, secretary Betty Posvar, vice-president Wallace EUefson, treasurer Most of the members of the graduating class of 1940 entered Oakridge High School in the fall of 1936. The class officers that year were: president, Jack Robinson; secre- tary, Betty Adams; treasurer, Mabel Ran- dall. As frosh, they enjoyed (?) the initiation and their return party. One of the import- ant activities of the year was the fresh- man edition of the Hi-Breeze, which was printed on green paper. The only freshman to earn a letter in athletics was June Miller. There were several swimming and skat- ing parties during the sophomore year. These comprised the principal activities. Those making letters in sports were June Miller and Loren Wilson. Elbert Davis was president throughout the year, with Betty Rae Kearns acting as secretary. Mabel Randall was treasurer again. The junior play Second Childhood was hailed as the best play presented in Oakridge in recent years. The Junior- Senior banquet and prom were also a big success. The auditorium was decorated to resemble a ship. Mabel Randall, Phyllis Lansbery, June Paddock, June Miller, Loren Wilson, Wal- lace Ellefson, Calvin Rogers, and Robert Streit represented the juniors in the field of sports that year. The scholastic achievement of the class was recognized by the initiation of Frankie Cecil and Calvin Rogers into the National Honor Society. Loren Wilson headed the class in its last year in school with Betty Posvar, vice- president; Nina Kelsay, secretary; and Wallace Ellelson as treasurer. The Mummy and the Mumps was chosen for the senior play. Other im- portant activities of the year included the senior trip to Salem and Portland, bac- calaureate services, commencement, and the Junior-Senior banquet and prom, at which the seniors were guests of the junior class. Those making letters were: Mabel Ran- dall, Phyllis Lansbery, June Miller, Ruth Hill, June Paddock, Wallace Ellefson, Loren Wilson, Calvin Rogers, Robert Streit, and Wilfred Kissinger. 9 F- Cecil P.

Ten years have passed since my last year in school, and it is now time for the reunion of the senior class of 1940. This reunion, which is held every ten years (this is the first one), is to be held in the dining room of the Hotel Imperial in the thriving young city of Oakridge, pop. 1,500. The hotel is owned and managed by the former Nina Kelsay, in the few spare moments which she has free from her domestic life. In the dining room the interior decorators are at work. They are the founders of the exclusive firm of lunes, Miller and Fad- dock, and have come several weeks early just so they could have the privilege of decorating the hall for the great reunion. At last the great evening has arrived. Guests are wandering here and there, greeting old friends. As I entered the portals of the large ban- a.uet hall I gave my hat to the hat-check girl, who was none other than that famous divorcee, Mrs. Ruth Hill-Tracy-Jones-Clark- Louis-Roosevelt-Tracy, who is working in order to pay alimony to her five ex-hus bands. Approaching the punch bowl I thought I saw a red stop light, but, on looking a second time, I found that it was my old friend, the punch-drunk boxer, Dick Kroll, conversing with the leader of the famous orchestra, Le Gault and his Flathead Floo- gies, who will play for the banquet tonight. Ralph Lyon, the Bathtub Baritone is star- red. His song this evening will be When You And I Were Young, Maggie”. Swinging from the $15,896.15 chandelier is the hermit from Dead Mountain, Jasper Clum, who is going on his first jag in ten years. He thinks he is Tarzan of the Apes and has Bob Tracy along for his mate. At his home on Dead Mt. Bob does all Jasper's cooking for him. Over in the orchestra pit petite Margaret Wetzel is going into her tap routine on top of the grand piano. Her accompanist is the accomplished pianist, William Dugan, who is hailed by critics as a second Paderew- ski . Leaning against the bar is Fifth Ave- nue’ Robert Streit, the champion W.P.A. ditch digger from the University of Ore- gon. He just can’t seem to remember that he isn't working; that's why he can't help leaning. He is talking to Flash Ellefson, who has just completed a rocket ship in which he plans to travel to the moon. Look who cames here! That pretty little nurse from the Sacred Liver Hospital who causes most of the accidents in Lane Coun- ty, Esther Natterlund. Near the stage is the famous screen star, Bettie Posvar. She is now starring in the reproduction of Bette Davis' screen hit The Old Maid . Bette has just divorced her third husband. Driving up in a tan 1935 coupe is Mabel Randall, who has been happily married for the past ten years to Dick Kroll. With her are her children, the famous Kroll quintuplets. Looking at the gray hairs on Miss John- son's head (caused from worry over the senior reunion—Miss Johnson helped to plan it while she was not working at her typing and bookkeeping classes) is that well-known scientist, Babs Sorensen, who has just completed research work on her theory How to Make Tall Men Short . Sneaking in by way of the kitchen is my old pal Ralph Stool Pigeon Clapp, who rs in the navy now. He joined in hopes of becoming an admiral, but has served in the kitchen for the past ten years. He is suffering from that dreadful ailment known as dishpan hands . The lady looking through the lorgnette a me is Frankie Emily Post Cecil, who is writing a book entitled Etiquette for Truck Drivers and Back Seat Drivers. That impressive looking man with the handle - bar mustache and the sheriff's (Continued on Page 24) 12 Ut Zecjueath . . .

Junior Officers President ..............Ecrl Bleile Vice-President ..............Randal Clark Secretary-Treasurer Orpha Stanley Adviser ................... Miss Jacobson V An active year of fun and work for the junior class was climaxed by the banquet and prom, given on May 17 in honor of the graduating seniors. The thirty-four members of the class were weil represented in athletics with Shirley Ream, Virginia Bordune, Joanna Dunning, and Dorothy Wilson earning let- ters in volleyball. In football Mac Small- wood, Earl Bleile, Ulas Allen, Roy Randall, Louis Vearrier, Chester Wilson, Leslie Mc- Larrin, and Ira McAtee received awards. . . . fluniols Basketball O 's were given to Earl Bleile, Robert Lavey, Ulas Allen, and Chester Wil- son. Ira McAtee was basketball manager. On March 29 the class presented Huckleberry Finn , a three-act comedy, with Mac Smallwood and Keith Healy in the leading roles as Huck and his pal Tom Sawyer. The play dealt with Huck's troubles, both during boyhood and after, and was very entertaining. The initiation of Marion Swanson and Earl Bleile into the National Honor Society at the annual banquet meeting of the group, represented the scholastic attain- ments of the class. The student body song queens, Orpha Stanley and Marion Swan- son, also hail from the junior ranks. Among the activities of the year were several class parties and dances. The jun- iors worked with the other classes in stag- ing the annual all-school fall carnival, and were co-sponsors with the seniors for the spring carnival. FRONT ROW: D. Wilson, H. Hebert, E.

The only member receiving a letter was Jimmie Pad- dock, who made the first string basketball team. Subjects offered to the freshmen this year are English, geography, science, and orien- tation. Two freshmen are taking typing. There are fifteen freshmen in the Glee Club. Members of the class in the high school band are: James Hill, Harry Bleile, Janet Ramsdell, Harvey McFarland, Harold La Duke, George Campbell, and Martin Tuck- er. For several weeks during the second semester the freshmen worked by groups on various projects.

The principal activities of the year were two skating parties, one swimming party, and dances. The students who moved away during the year were Bonita South, Billy Moore, Norman Young, and Robert Ervin. New members are Martin Tucker, Pearl Wrighl, and Verty Hebert.

Miss Christiansen V The seventh and eighth grades partici- pated in two student body assemblies and contributed several winning games ol bas- ketball toward the glory of Oakridge Junior High School this past year. The basketball learn won games from Westfir and Lowell. The 85 pounder team also won from those teams. The girls' team was not as successful as the boys'. They played two volleyball games with Westfir, tieing one and losing the other. The eighth grade play The Tragedy of Mr. Wiggletwist was written by the class and presented before the student body as- sembly. It was a great success, due to a week of strenuous practice. The seventh grade ably conveyed the spirit of Christ- mas in their play, entitled Santa Was Late . Besides accomplishments in athletic games and studies, the two classes en- joyed several outings. The seventh graders hiked to Ferrin's Camp, and had a lot of fun at a skating party held at the I.O.O.F. Hall. The eighth graders surprised them- selves with an impromptu wiener roast in place of a skating party, early in the fall. They enjoyed a real skating party in January. Their last party was a theatre party. FIRST ROW: M. J. McAtee, M. Day, K. Stock, L. Shorey, E. Dumont, R. Jones. W. Tucker, D. Towne, N. Shorey. S. Tracy, D. England. A. Paianuk. SECOND ROW: D.

Although last year's annual was mimeographed, the staff decided to put out a printed yearbook. The theme selected for the book, and carried out by scenic pictures used on the division sheets, is the new Willamette highway. Many Eugene and local merchants pur- chased advertising space. The book was printed by the Shelton - Turnbull - Fuller Company of Eugene. Photographs were by Bruno Studio, Eugene. The staff chosen for the annual was as follows: Frankie Cecil, editor; William Dugan, assistant editor; Nina Kelsay, busi- ness manager; Wallace Ellefson and Ralph Lyon, sales; Esther Natterlund, Ned Le Gault, Wilfred Kissinger, and Loren Wil- son, advertising; and Betty Posvar, secre- tary. Writeups were by members of the class and student body. Miss Jacobson was the adviser. llte Hi-(breeze . . 'Ts that stencil ready yet? Hurry up, it's time for the paper to be out!” Such queries in the Hi-Breeze room on Friday denote that another edition of our paper will soon be ready for distribution. This is its eleventh consecutive year of publication and the Hi-Breeze still remains the only B League high school paper which is published weekly. The past year has been a most prosper- ous one for the paper. Circulation has in- creased among both the student body and townspeople. Due to the increase in cir- culation the paper has been enlarged and some new equipment was purchased. Frankie Cecil was elected editor and Earl Bleile is assistant editor. 19 Home Sconomics . . . The Heme Economics classes have com- pleted several projects this year under the able instruction of Miss Reed. During the first semester sewing was studied. Many nice dresses and house- coats were made. The Home Economics II class cooked and served hot dishes at the school cafe- teria, which was open for ten weeks dur- ing the cold weather. The menus were well balanced. A small charge was made to help pay for the cost of the food served. The girls also studied the correct setting cf tables and serving of formal dinners. ?Tlanual Ti ammcj In the past year there have been fifty- five boys in the manual training classes instructed by Mr. Lundberg. Of these, twen- ty-five were from the junior high and thirty from the senior high school. During the first nine weeks the advanced shop class worked on mechanical draw- ing, making plans for projects that could be built later in shop class. At the first of the year the Shop I class made a number of music stands, which were given to the music department. Through the year many very commend- able projects have been completed. These include several cedar chests, stands, vari- ous kinds of tables, chairs, and other articles of furniture. 20 ftavib . . . The Oakridge High School Band was started this year with only about one-third of the students able to play any instru- ment at all. However, under the direction of Miss Edythe Farr there was rapid im- provement in the ability of the band mem- bers. Before long they were playing to- gether nicely and by basketball season they were playing for the games and as- semblies. The band took part in the Spring Con- cert given by the glee club in April. Instru- ments in the band consist of nine trumpets, four clarinets, two trombones, four saxo- phones, seven violins, and two drums. Cjlee Club . . . The Glee Club presented a Christmas Carols concert in the high school gym- nasium Sunday, December 17, 1939. Eng- lish, German, French, and American carols were sung. The second big feature of the year was a Spring concert given in April, in which the Junior High chorus carried out a travel iheme A Trip Around the World by sing- ing the songs of many different lands. The latter part of the program was formal, in- cluding popular and classical songs. The club has sung for the student body assembly on several occasions: Thanks- giving, Lincoln's Birthday, and Washing- ton's Birthday. It has also appeared before other groups. As the last activity of the year, the Glee Club sang for Commencement. 21 Silver’s Confectionery Fountain Service lee Cream, Tobaccos Kodak Films, Novelties Fishing Tackle Collier’s Hand Tied Flies Oakridge, Oregon GRADE “A” MILK Raw and Pasteurized • Protect your health by using tirade “A” Dairy Products • COOK’S JERSEY FARM Oakridge, Oregon McATEE’S Red and White Store I i CLOTHING $ | A Full Line of Groceries, Fruits Vegetables, Meats Drugs, Feeds I Willamette City, Oregon | i DOROTHY'S BEAUTY SHOP i I complimenting graduates j j of 40” i Oakridge, Oregon THE JOLLY TIME expresses its thanks to the students of O.H.M. for their patronage.

Character . . . Scholarship . . . Leadership . . . Service There are five students in Oakridge High School who belong to the National Honor Society. These members are selected by the faculty as the outstanding students in character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The only activity of the year is attend- ance at the banquet of the Lane County chapter, held annually. One of the features of the program is the initiation of new members.

Behave yourself was the theme of the Girls' League during the fourth year of its organization in Oakridge High School. The girls strive toward good sportsmanship, cleanliness, friendliness, courtesy, knowledge, and health. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: Betty Posvar, presi- dent; Marion Swanson, vice-president; Mabel Randall, secretary; and June Paddock treasurer. The first activity of the year was a joint installation tea, with the junior and senior leagues acting as hostesses to mothers and friends. Other entertainments sponsored by the League include a spaghetti feed and dance in honor of the Hi-Y, and an Alumni dance. 25 H -lf. . . The Hi-Y is the outstanding club for the older boys in Oakridge High School. It is founded on the four main purposes of life: spiritual, mental, physical, and social.

The P.A.L.S. club was organized in 1938 with Miss Emma Christensen as fac- ulty sponsor. The purpose of this group is to promote better sportsmanship and to interest more girls in athletics. Members of the club sold candy at bas- ketball and football games and during end has been developed with the Christian principles of fair play, honor, clean speech and action, in mind.

The football team was lighter this year than in 1938. Due to the able instruction of Coach Kingsley the boys won four out of six contests, thereby earning third place in the League. The returning lettermen were: Earl Bleile, Ulas Allen, Louis Vear- rier, Francis Smallwood, Jim Paddock, Les- lie McLarrin, Ira McAtee, Roy Randall, Mac Smallwood, and Chester Wilson. Although last year's entire first-string basketball team was graduated, this year's team won second place in the American League race and advanced as far as the semi-finals in the annual B League tour- nament. Three O.H.S. players received honorable mention in the choosing of the all-star team. They were Wallace Ellefson, Forrest Rehwalt, and Earl Bleile. In the 1939 baseball season Oakridge went farther than ever before. The team won the American League pennant but lost to Coburg in the playoffs for the Lane County championship. Oakridge should do fairly well this year, with six returning lettermen: Roy Randall, Loren Wilson, Wilfred Kissinger, Earl Bleile, Robert Streit, and Louis Vearrier. Unfortunately, the team lost to Pleasant Hill in the first game of the season. 29 Volleyball replaced basketball this year as the major sport for girls in all Oregon high schools. The Oakridge Warriorettes won the championship of Lane County by defeating Pleasant Hill in the finals at the tournament held in McArthur Court in Eugene in March. The girls came through the season with only three defeats by conference competi- tion—by Elmira, Creswell, and Lowell. Other games were played with Mohawk, Santa Clara, and Pleasant Hill. The Warriorettes lost by a 33-20 score to Yoncalla, the champions of Douglas County, in a game played in the O.H.S. gymnasium March 8. The lassies look forward to a victori- ous baseball season with a team built around ten players returning from last year's team. They are: Joanna Dunning, Virginia Bordune, Phyllis Lansbery, Mabel Randall, Bette Orr, Tharon Rogers, June Paddock, and Billie Jane Elam. A point system was used in the physical education classes by Miss Christiansen to determine the best all-around girl athlete. Volleyball serves and basketball foul and set-up shots were each counted as one point. In badminton and ping-pong ten points were earned by the winner of each game. The girl earning the largest number of points was Ruth Hill. 30 ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT Guto(j aph “ART” HENDERSHOTT’S Eugene, Oregon Physical Education Supplies — ( i i i i SPORTING { GOODS I
