ly 6211 , 0 26 ADMINISTRATION During the past year the Oakville High School ha-s, we believe, taken a forward step in all dcizartnxents. To the Library there have been added 201 books during the year, bringing the total up to 1086 now at the disposal of the students. Among those added are several sets of valuable reference books. In the Commercial Department the old typewriters were replaced a year ago with new Underwoods and Remingtons and two more added. Some excellent typing work has been done this year. Miss Verna Lemmon deserving special mention as she has won five medals and a certificate in speed tests during the past two years. The History Department has added Economics and Business Law to the course. Spelling and Penmanship has been offered to all students for the first time in several years as well as a course in Solid Geometry. One hundred and fifty dollars in equipment was added to the Science Department the past year, making it fairly well equipped to handle all classes of science taught. Mr. Gordon Evans, a new member of the staff is in charge of this department. In the Manual Training rooms there has been no new equipment added except replacement of tools. lt is planned however, to install some wood- working machincry the coming summer. This is greatly needed as all work is now done by hand. Some excellent pieces of furniture have been turned out by the boys which will be on display at Commencement time. The Home Economics Department installed last year a complete set of sil- verware and dishes and one new sewing machine. An annual feature of this department is a fashion show, put on by the sewing department, and a luncheon for the lady teachers prepared by the class in cooking. In the English classes the usual work has been carried on under the supervision of Miss Brooks, who is a new member of the staff. During the latter half of the year emphasis has been placed on short stories in the two classes. Miss Mary Rittman, another new teacher, has had charge of the Junior High and the work has progressed nicely under her supervision. Among the extra-curricular activities our school has taken several honors. The Debate tea-m was successful in winning the Southwest Washington championship, having won all four debates with a- total score of ten out of a possible twelve judges' decisions. Our girls basketball team has also brought honor to the school as they won the Thurston-Grays Ha-rbor championship. They have the distinction of having been undefeated in two years until they met the Onalaska team in a final playoff for the Southwest VVashington championship, and then only losing by a small margin. The boys basket ball team made a fair showing in view of the fact that most of our last years' champions were lost to us. Of special interest to all is the beautiful landscape and gardening which has been put in front of the building by the school board. Many shrubs and flowers have been planted and when the grass gets a good start, we can feel justly proud of the fact that we ha-ve one of the most beautiful school grounds in this section. -Mr. Murphy Page 20

CDW nu 0 ,265 TILLICUM STAFF The Tillicum Staff as you see them are a hard working bunch, as well as a good looking bunch according to Mrs. Olsen, our advisor. Edna McMaster, the Editor in Chief and her capable assistant, Margaret Thompson have worked diligently and untiringly in the interests of this fpeskyl annual.-That's the wa-y they feel about it sometimes. Audrey Blechsehmidt, Advertising Manager, and her interested assistants, Gordon Theriault and Marvin Butl-er went after advertising with a vim and all things being considered, were very successful. Harold Murray, Business Manager, and Harold Clodius, Circulation Manager, with his assistant, Corressa Shull -are going to sell annuals when they are out so fast that it will make your head swim, if you haven't already paid your deposit for one. Dorothy Easter, our Art Editor has given up valuable class time to grant our wishes at a moments notice. Jewell Erekson, Snapshot Editor, was unfortunate with her snaps sometimes, but we have plenty anyway. Katherine Baker launched forth in the realms of Society and what she didn't do, like a good editor, she got someone else to do for her. Literary, Athletics and Jokes were collected and contributed by Dora Gibson, Willia-m Perry and Alice Anderson. All have done their part in making the annual what it is, either good, bad, or indifferent, and hope you will be well pleased even with the worst of it. They have tried to put in things to interest and amuse you, from the 8th grader to the best known alumni. They know their work is not perfect but hope you will accept it at its best for they have worked with a will to make it good. -lWritten by one who knows. P. S. Of course by some hook or crook all the blame for this annual was shifted from the shoulders of our class advisor to the innocent members of the staff. We feel this is unfair as the Tillicum has been made possible through the efforts of Mrs. Olsen and any pra-ise should des-ervedly belong to hef. -THE STAFF Page 22
