PtccLAc: A m special “thank you goes to the following people and groups of people lor the help they have given toward making this annual a success: l o Mrs. I larms for her kindly and much-needed advice, to Kennell-Ellis for their splendid photographs, to Mr. Price and Shelton 1 urnbull-Fuller, printers, for their helpful suggestions, to Darrell Montgomery and Kir. Sam Montgomery for their fine pictures taken with their Hash camera, to all of the people who have written write-ups and sent in snap-shots for the annual and to the business firms lor their advertisements. Fay Arthur Ed'tor 7 e Ke: 7(1 e Say 7I 7(1 it Htu ic The theme, “We Say It With Music , may seem, at first glance, a triHe far-fetched for titling the happenings of a school year. But if we delive a little deeper into the subject of music we find it crops up in the average person's life many times. For example a student of Oakridge High School finds music in the form of a regular studv which includes Band and Glee Club. Dancing, to sweet music, is a favorite pastime of the teen-agers. The most avid collectors are the high school group am: their precious records of both jazz and classical music in their albums. Though it often goes unnoticed, music provides the background mood of the movie. Many stores are now playing soft music over a loud speaker system for the enjoyment of the shopper. All large cities have symphony orchestras and the smaller towns have their town bands. The holidays wouldn’t be nearly so festive without songs, a ball game wouldn’t be so exciting without the band parading before the stands. Music appears in so manv ways in the average person’s life that we have decided to title this theme, “We Say It With Music”. 3 @aCe tcCevi £ve ttL September 20—School starts alter a week’s delay. 157 students are enrolled. 25—Drain plays here for the first football game of the season. 0.1 l.S. wins 22-0. 28—National School Assembly with vocalist anti pianist.

In the spring election preceeding the year ol 49, the student body chose lor their president popular Darrell Blanton. Dar- rell presided over the student council and student body meetings besides numerous other activities such as promoting dances and other social functions. Darrell was also president of the Pep Club, a club organized to support the athletic teams. For vice-president, Val Lee, a very effic- ient Junior, was chosen. Vais job, other than helping the president in every way, was to head the social committee. He also served as vice-president of the Junior class. Fav Arthur served as secretary for the second consecutive vear and has done a fine job both times. Fay is also editor of the Oak. She holds the office of president of the Girls’ League and secretary of the girls athletic club, the PALS. George Davis, the Junior class presi- dent, undertook the job of treasurer. He attended to all the student body bills and kept track of the incoming money. George was also active in the encouragement and earn ing out of the social activities.

The student council is made up of rep- resentatives from the following clubs: Pep Club, V.O., P.A.L.S., Girls’ League, Hi-Y. The presidents of ach of the classes are members of the council plus the Hi-Breeze editor and the senior Yell-Leader. The stu- dent body officers take charge of each meet- ing. At 8:45 every Wednesday morning the council gathered for their weekly meeting. Here discussion was held on all subjects that would effect the student body. Recreation, under the supervision of Vice-President Val Lee, was one of the major problems before the council. All student bodv bills had to be passed by the majority of the council members before the bill could be paid. The student council is an important function because in those meetings decis- ions were made which effected a 150 stu- dents. Realizing their responsibility plus the cooperation from the students and council members themselves, the student council played a prominent part in making the year of ’48-’49 one of the most out- standing years in O.H.S. history. 11 12 dixcuniitancz MRS.

Color: Pale Green and Silver Flower: White Gladiolus We started our high school days in the traditional way—33 I Tightened� little, green Freshies! I he boys outnumbered the girls this year, and consequently all the class officers were boys. We had a very successful year under the direction of Larry Blakely, president, and our advisor, Miss Betty Lou Hendrix. We followed the tradition of painting the “O’ — not once mind you but twice, a committee having to go up and paint it a second time to satisfy the sophomores. I he Sophomore Re- turn Party was given on Halloween with everyone in costume. During our sophomore year, we welcomed the “Freshies” with a successful party with the help of our President, Fred Baltz, and our advisor, Miss Jane Reith. (The Frosh had to paint the “O” twice again this year—the first time being painted the wrong shade of gold). Juniors! This is the year our work really began. We were quite financially embarrassed with the Junior-Senior Prom com- ing up. But, with the guidance from Mr. Starkweather, our ad- visor, and President Thurston Dunn, we successfully expanded our funds. The Prom was very nice and held in the Mirror Room of the Eugene Hotel. “Make Mine Music” was the theme. Special thanks go to Mrs. Viva Harms for her muchliv ap- preciated help with our Junior Carnival and our Junior play, “One Mad Night”—it was too! At last—Seniors. At the top of the ladder. Thurston Dunn is again our President and Mrs. Viva Harms our advisor. This year to increase our treasury for our annual and Senior trip we sponsored the Senior play, “Hilarity House”, which practically brought the gym down in gales of laughter. Now, after four years of unforgettable memories, we the class of 49, on June 3rd, marched up the aisle to receive our diplomas. It markad a new beginning lor us but also meant goodbye to dear O.H.S.

A $te sophomore, Melvin I larris, was in charge of the purple and gold decorations, vftt this event the balloon dance was introduced, and became the fea- ture of many following parties. The sophomores kept their unstable “O’ intact, although twite it changed form; first as a red “L . tl) jus a golden “IT. As to feeds on several occasions fam- ished students, following the tantalizing odor of hamburgers aqd onions, could lx 1 seen striding down the halls and stairs to the cafeteria. Max Yabes, the president, Don Long, vice-president, Joy Bouhey, secretary, and Leona Easley, treasurer battle side by side with their staunch advisor, Miss Virginia Burt, to keep the class out of debt, and w ith a jackpot to start the Junior year s treas- ury. To make the Junior Carnival an even bigger success, Marilyn Fillback w as chosen as the sophomore candidate. 1 he Junior Class was very ambitious under the very capable leadership of Mr. Wilbur Deacon. The class sold hot dogs, sticky red and green pop corn balls, and candy at various affairs and times such as football and bas- ketball games and at the noon day hours. For variation and making money a pie walk wras slipped. The Halloween Dance turned out very well considering all the confusion of find- ing corn stalks and gathering maple leaves. In November two plays, !1A Date With Judy’ and “The Mystery of the Whisper- ing Bells , were given under the direction of Mrs. Viva Harms. Those that didn’t take part in either play did their part as stage crew or make-up committee. It is the custom each year to elect a princess from each class. These princesses compete for the title of Queen to reign over the Junior Carnival. Libbv Briscoe was elected as the Junior Princess. Both the Juniors and Student Body conrtibuted much hard work to make the carnival the success that it was. The last formal dance was the Junior- Senior Prom, the highlight of the year for the Juniors. This Prom said, “Good-bye and Good Luck’’ to the Seniors. 1 he last two events brought forth or- chids for the sponsor, Mr. Deacon, and the class leaders. 25 FIRST ROW: Mrs. Munick, Donald Greag.

A mourn- ful group ol Freshie boys again gave it a new yellow coat. Christmas came and so did the return party for the Sophies. It was a Pioneer Christmas Party with an old fashioned tree and pioneer dresses plus doughnuts and cider. When school started in September many of us were strangers, and glaced shyly at one another over our textlxxtks, but it didn’t take long for us to get acquainted with Mrs. Weber, sour advisor, and our classmates. 11 We chose Betty Henson for our first semester class president. When the basketball season approached we organized a pep club with Donna Mil- ler, Marlene Gerspach, and Betty Henson as yell leaders. We cheered pur boys on to victory when they won four out of the five games played. The girls’ volleyball team was not to be left out either; they won all of the games they played this year. With the coming of the second semester we elected new class officers. Our president was Donna DeVries. We had several parties during the year including a valentine’s party. Since this was the last year we would be able to have one, we couldn’t resist having a valentine box. All in all we have had a very successful year and we now look forward to being “Freshies”. 27 28 __ L)ll£ i { I [ij J fancli FRONT ROW: Donn Malcolm.

The staff is now sitting back in an easy chair with a sigh of relief after six months of frenzied work. ! here were times when it looked a little doubtful if there would be an annual at all. In amid the rush and scramble there was time for a few laughs.

I here were nineteen students that signed up lor I H-Breeze class I houghts immediately fell to elimination, but after much careful consideration Miss Burt de- cided to turn the staff into a journalism class so that all of the students w ho signed for it could participate, Fred Baltz has done a very good job as editor of the Hi-Breeze. He has been kept very busy chasing the students, who don’t seem to have anything to do, off the paper cutter, which seems to be a cozy spot to rest their weary bones. Beverly Cockerill was elected as as- sistant editor at mid-term. There have been many improvements made on the paper this year and many new ideas were put in use. I he Christmas edi- tion was presented in red and green to match the seasons’ colors. Also the students decided that since there were more people to write lor the paper, we should put it out once a week. It was tried and proved to be a workable idea.

For the school the boys have built the new baseball backstop, bat racks, wood box for the Home Ec. room and various other things that go to make a well equipped school. 1 he shop boys hale turned out some projects that could very easily be mistaken for the products of u?pf r nal cabinet- maker, such as coffeetables, nightstands, nick-nak shelves ana otiiei useful objects. Maybe some oi thescftoys will become in- terested enough to make cabinet making their vocation as a result of this class. Mr. Cooper is the owner and working staff oi his own cabinet shop and so is very well qualified to handle shop class. 32 FIRST ROW (left to right): Grant Freeman, Earnest Easely, Robert Printz, Maurice Cook.

The purpose of the club is “ I o create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character”. The I li-Y gave a box social, chili sale, hot dog sales and from the proceeds of these sales they gave thirty dollars toward the Time Clock. The club is planning on going on a fishing and lounging trip to the Big De- chutes river sometime this spring. 1 he officers of the club are Sonny Allen, president; Jerry Darrah, vice presi- dent; Dale Ensminger, secretary and treas- urer; Fred Baltz, chaplain. The activities of the club could not have been possible with- out the capable leadership of the advisor, John King. 33 FIRST ROW: Frances Lee, Bonnie Blakely, Ruth Rardin, Donna Beard, and Velma Cline.

Bostar Society We are proud to have six seniors on this year s honor society. I hey are Fay Arthur, Florene Norris, Frances Lee, Ruth Rardin, Fred Baltz, and Donn Malcolm. The other members are Velma Cline, Bon- nie Blakely, Elizabeth Briscoe, Janet Braker, and Donna Beard. The probationary mem- bers are Muriel Olson, Margie Norris, Joy Bouhey, and Loretta Odle. Only juniors and seniors can be in the honor society. 1 he probationary members are sophomores and must wait a year to become a member. To become a member you must have good character, you must take part in the necessary activities, and you must have an average grade of above a two. Knowing this we should realize that the students in the honor society have worked hard and shown a lot of interest in the school and their work.

At this meeting the girls elected their officers with Fav Arthur as president; Iva Merrill, vice president; Frances Lee, secretary; Betty Klippstein, treasurer. Iva moved later in the year and Velma Cline was elected to take her place. Thirty-five girls joined the League. These girls were from the Sophomore, Jun- ior, Senior class. Because of getting a late start and be- cause ol a crowded school calendar the League sponsored only a few activities but under the guidance of Betty Klippstein, the 50 and ’51 president, the club hopes to become more active in school activities.

In the regular home economics course the girls have also completed several pro- jects. At the end of the first half of the year the girls cooked a luncheon for the teachers as their semester exam. Such gifts as stuffed toys, aprons, and laundry bags were made in the class for Christmas. Units on grooming and child care were taken up as well as styles and dress making. Trips to Monroes Furniture Store and McCains Appliance Store were made to observe how their electrical appliances operated. The girls also made a trip to the bakery to watch cakes being decorated. To help the girls in deciding and planning for their future careers several visitors come to the class to give talks concerning their professions. t4. The home economic classes have re- cently joined a national organization known as the Future Homemakers of America, and so established another club in the high school. The important characteristics of this club are: F.l l.A. means to an end, not an end in itself; an in-school program for improving home and family life. To be members, the girls must pay dues and com- plete certain projects. The organization has a total of over 235,000 memlx'rs. 36 FIRST ROW: Lynette Montgomery.

WARD CROFT, Director Under the direction of Mr. Ward Croft the third year continued to improve. Thirty- five members have given the group a well balanced instrumentation with ten clari- nets, four saxophones, five cornets, four horns, four trombones, two baritones, two basses, and four percussions. New tympany were bought bv the school. The band elected officers this year as they have in previous years. Those elected to carry on the work were Dale Ensminger, president; Fred Baltz, vice president; Flor- enc Norris, secretary and treasurer; and George Davis, librarian. I he girls bought white slacks to com- plete their band uniforms. They arrived in time to be worn for the Christmas Party for which the band played. The band also played for programs put on by various 38 [ [ [ [ L I I I L I L L L L I I I I I clubs o! the town and also school assem- blies, pep rallies, home games, the basket ball tournament at MacArthur Court, and the Spring Concert. With the graduation of twelve mem- bers this year the band will lose some of its most valuable members, but with the be- ginners and those who do not graduate who have bad the experience of plaving this year, next year the band will be even better. Many new band numbers were learned during the past vear which were very diffi- cult and took a lot of concentration from the students and patience from Mr. Croft. The event most looked forward to and worked for by the band members was play- ing in the Portland Rose Festival in June. Joy Bouhey, lynette Montgomery, Bonnie Blakely, Colleen Birch, Frances Lee, Donna Beard, Billie Scott. Sextette At the first of the year the Sextette began practicing as a Septette. Two so- pranos, Lynette Montgomery and Janet Braker, three second sopranos, Iva I fearell, Colleen Birch and Bonnie Blakely and two altos, Francis Lee and Donna Beard. How- ever, only six girls were to sing at a per- formance. Their accompanist was Joy Bouhey. When Janet and Iva moved away, Col- leen stepped up to the soprano section and Billie Scott became a new member as a sec- ond soprano. I he first performance of the year, was at the 1 li-Y Box Social. Then before Christ- mas, the Masons asked the Sextette to sing at one ol their meetings and gave the girls a box of chocolates for the entertainment. I he next performance was at the Pope and Talbot Christmas Party held at the Pope and Talbot Cook Flouse. Then the Sex- tette sang for “Youth For Christ” June Mar- tin substituted for Colleen as a soprano. The Sextette entered the Talent Show pro- gram as a non-competitive entry. 39 ui £m 'ityeCfi Sittyiay The school is very proud of the Glee Club and they certainly have a right to be lor the Glee was a “good-will diplomat” for Oakridge High. The girls were asked to sing a number of times for Youth For Christ rallies and have journeyed as far as Roseburg and Corvallis to perform. The winter uniform for the girls was white, long sleeved blouses and black skirts and shoes, but as spring came the girls wore pastel cotton dresses. During the winter term the Boy’s Glee Club was organized, the first in four years. They joined the girls for one period a week and also practiced once-a week at noon. 1 he Mixed Chorus presented a shorten- ed version of ”1 l.M.S. Pinafore” for a Na- tional Music Week assembly. The chorus had lots of fun giving the operetta and hope that next year there will be more presented. Miss Virginia Burt was the Glee Club director. Regular class time was very interesting because in addition to regular drill work on songs the Glee listened to records and heard MISS VIRGINIA BURT, Director reports on composers. A number of instru- mental solos, vocal solos, duets and trios were presented to the class by students.

The continuation of this club from last year has shown a lot of improve- ment. All the students who are mem- bers of the Pe p Club have done well in showing school spirit, pep, ambi- tion, and sportsmanship throughout the vear. The club went to all the league games and tournaments and backed the team from start to finish. It performed at games and did little skits in assemblies, all being dressed alike and having plenty of pep. Every- one thought the club was tops and the students and faculty were really proud of it. I he Pep Club rules were carried over from last year and obeyed. Games, both at home and away, were 42 [ [ [ [ i t i ( i i i i L [ I I [ f J J ■ ' 1 1 I I 1 I 1 I I 1 I I 1 1 p. e well supported, due to 100% attend- ance there. New members were chosen from the Senior High. Each class had seven members in the club and club officers and Yell Leaders were not in- cluded in the seven. Our thanks for having such an outstanding club goes to Darrell Blan- ton, who did a wonderful job as pres- ident; Mrs. Munnick for being so helpful. Florene Norris, Fay Arthur, and Fred Balt , known as the “Three F’s around school, led the rooters in yells and rallies for the third year in succession. The trio wants to extend their deepest appreciation to the club and student body for their loyal sup port and cooperation at all the games. 43 MRST ROW (left to right): Jim Lackey, Allan Lafferty, Don Long, Thurston Dunn, Dale Ensminger, Jerry Darrah, Robert Anderson.

Edwin Scruby, Dale Tiller, Mr. Walter Johnson After a fair 1947 showing playing six- man football, the Oakridge Warriors swung into a good 1948 season, winning 6 and losing 1. In their first year of eleven-man ball the Warriors dropped all comers save Mapleton. I he Warriors opened their season Sep- tember 25 against Drain on their own field. Both teams played ragged ball with the Oakridgers coming out on top 22-0. 1 he next outing, October 2, also on the Oakridge field, found an improved Warrior eleven shellacking the Bulldogs of Creswell to the tune of 37-6. I he following week the Warriors jour- neyed to Mapleton only to be dropped 14-0. It might be mentioned that the two teams were about equal in power, offensively and defensively, but two fatal Warrior mistakes led to both Sailor tallies. Oakridge swung back into action the next week, October 15, apparently unfazed, as they downed a fair Lowell outfit 37-0 on the Red Devil field. I he Warrior s next game, October 22, turned out to lx an action packed thriller as they dropped a hard fighting Billie eleven 44 on the Pleasant Hill home ground bv a count ol 13-6. The Oakridge scores came in the second and third quarters while the Billie’s six points came in the closing minutes ol the game. Oakridge made their home coming a success the following week, October 29, by whitewashingnhe Siuslaw Vikings 40-0. On November 6 the Warriors traveled to Madras for their last game of the year. In the first half a stiff Warrior squad was made to look prettv bad by a nice working Madras team, running out of a single wing. 1 he half ended 18-6 in favor of Madras. In the second half an apparently different working Oakridge team began to trim the Madras boys properly. Working the “T” to almost perfection the Oakridge boys pre- ceeded to push over three touchdowns and add the extra counters as the hard charging Warrior line held the Madras offensive to almost 0 in yardage gained. 1 he final score 27-18, Oakridge. Those earning letters for the season are as follows: Seniors, Allen Lafferty, Dale Ensminger, 7 hurston Dunn, Donn Mal- colm, Jack Leonard, Bill Anderson, Don Heimburger; Juniors, Jerry Darrah, Robert Anderson, Val Lee, Earnie Easley, Joe Castle, Norman Flock, Robert Printz; Sophomores, Jimmy Lackey, Don Long, Dee Williams, Max Yabes, Louis Fulton; Freshmen, Ed Scruby, Freddie Richter, Ronnie Whitecliff, Dale Jamison.

The P.A.L.S. dub was organized ex- clusively for girls who have earned letters in some sport. They must be voted in and complete the initiation set forth. P.A.L.S. sold pop, hot dogs, candy, hamburgers, and popcorn balls at the home games during the year. They also put on several cafeteria lunches at noons for the students. They had an Easter raffle and raffled off an Easter bunny, an Easter duck, and a hunting and fishing license. They were successful in saving $100 to help pay for the new time clock in the gym used for basketball and volIevbaU games. 1 he officers of the P.A.L.S. were Patsy Miller, president; Jean Tuchardt, vice-pres- ident; Fav Arthur, secretary; Florene Nor- ris, treasurer. Five new Pals were initiated into the club after the annual picture had been taken. The new members are Shirley La- vov, Alice Davis, Lynette Montgomery, Edna Scruby, Verna Tiller.

Hie Warriorettes met rather tough competition in volleyball this year and de- spite the fact that they won only two out ol ten games, they had a lot of fun working together on the team. Since most of the subs were very good players, the team itself had no definite position. I he main team was chosen after volleyball season, which consisted of: Fay Arthur, Donna Beard, Velma Cline, Patsy Miller, Margie Norris, Ruth Radin, and Jean Tuchardt. These girls were chosen for their good ability and sportsmanship. Fav Arthur was chosen by the team and subs as their honorary captain for the 48- 49 season. 1 his year s games were different from last, as the team played half rotation and half non-rotation. This year also was the last one that the Warriorettes will be able to compete in B-League Volleyball, as in- dications for next year show that Oak ridge High will be an A-League school. The girls were fortunate to have Mrs. Iola Davis as their coach again this year. Iola has coached volleyball for five years. She and the team have had a lot of good times going to and from games. 1 lelping Iola with many things pertaining to volley- ball during the season were Florene Norris, manager, and Lynette Montgomery, assist- ant manager.

THURSTON DUNN, President 'Varsity 0 I he Varsity “O membership, under the supervis- ion of Coach Smith, has been greatly enlarged this year—a total of 25 members. 1 he V.O. has sponsored hotdog sales the proceeds of which went to the I ime Clock. I wo smokers were put on by the club and both proved to be good enter- tainment plus a financial success. Thev hope to be able to put more of these on next year. For the school, the club got new mats for wrestling, tumbling and boxing, lour pairs of new ten ounce boxing gloves. I he officers, under the fine leadership of Thurs- ton Dunn, president, were Jack Leonard, vice-presi- dent, Robert Anderson, secretary-treasurer. 48 5 7'qt ff 76e (Zeate Basketball started this year J with Dunn, Malcolm and Easley playing their third year on the first five. Leonard, An- derson, Lee and Allen were the other returning lettermen with a year each of varsity ex- perience. Other fellows that earned letters were Noland, Davis, Bodie, Richter and Lackey. With this line-up the Warriors looked good. They lost only one league game, thus placing first in the county’s Western Division. They didn’t do so well in the county tournament. The first game was played with Creswell, winning by only 13 points alter defeating them earlier in the year 54-8. The second game was played with Mapleton which was a very close game up until the last three minutes. Maple- ton played a stall all the way through the game. Oakridge was playing a zone defence and trying desperately to break the stall. Mapleton then took the lead to win by 11 points. I he third game was play- ed with Coburg for third 49 Earnest Easley, Thurston Dunn, Alvin Noland, Jack Leonard, Donn Malcolm.

Coburg played the same kind of game Mapleton had the night before. The Warriors did the best they could when Coach Smith gave orders to play a man to man defence, but they couldn’t hold them down and lost by 2 points. Coach Smith did well with the War- riors this year, giving them a few plays and a system of offensive play. He gave them a zone that could stop anything except a stall. 1 le kept the Warriors in better con- dition than most teams ywiich came in handv in our victories. j To the fellows who ?i!l make up the team next year, it will Jk a hard battle against “A league but ir 'ill be an honor to be a Warrior. COUNTY ALL-STAR: With 153 points to his credit, Alvin Noland copped honors as high point man of the season.

Coach Johnson did a good job in giving the fellows he coached, game ex- perience. The line-up changed often, giving each a chance to play. Lackey and Richter were outstanding players and earned letters on the “A” squad. Lackey played 59 minutes in varsity action and Richter played 33 minutes. Other outstanding “B” men were Long, who playing 13 minutes varsity, and Lee did very well and should lx a gtxxl played for the next season. Fulton, Yabes, Freeman, Brunson and Agee paid close attention to Coach John- son when they were showed fakes, shooting form and other basic basketball. They will be good material in seasons to come. 51 1 ; Best Wishes Seniors Oakridge Cafe and Tavern McAtee's Steaks at their best Super Market THE FRIENDLY PLACE TO MEET BETTY HURL SHOP Willamette City !
