v| i! f r r r - : THE RIDDLE VOLUME I The annual publication of the Associated Student Body of the Riddle High School W 4 s if 1937 ¥ V y V v y 7 V v v 7 V . School began in the new building Oct. 19, 1936 with Chester Cook as the Principal and Paul Campbell and tlrs. Laura Powell as the assistants. Leland Harter was named a3 director of boy's athletics. The school was reorganized, and in answer 5 to a growing demand for a broader choice of subjects, a number of new courses were add-j ed to the curriculum. Of these new courses, the most important one3 were Chemistry, under the direction of Mr. Campbell, and Home Economics, under firs. Powell's direction. The new shop is fully equipped with power driven tools and it bids fair to be the favorite rendezvous for a number of the boys next year. The fact of having a school plant that is the last word in modern construction and an able teaching staff, gives every assurance that each pupil will have ample opportunity to develop the very best that is in them. Board of Directors, Dist. 70 Left to Right: Fred Ball, Chairman; Helena Riddle, Clerk; J. H. Cornutt; Chas. Mosthaf All the Associated Students of the Riddle High School desire to take this opportunity to express their appreciation to the above members of the 3oard of Directors of School District Number 70 for the splendid support they have given us during the past year. We shall ever think of you individually as our friends, and we do v unt you to know that we highly value the interest you have shown in us. It is with the kindest remembrances that we recall the splendid and untiring efforts of Fred Ball, C.S.Osborne, Stilly Nichols, and Asa Lawson, members of the Board during those trying days vihen construction of the new building was just getting under way and so much depended upon them. To all of you and to the parents,patrons, and taxpayers af this District, we wish to give our thanks, and it is our sincere hope that we may be worthy of the confidence you have placed in us. wmmmmmmmm wmmmmmmmmmm masmsgm � - Ml : Vj � -; hm lT£ p?i� y!

Senior Class History When the school bell rang on a bright September morning, four years ago, eighteen fearful, but hopeful Freshmen entered the Riddle High School assembly. Many eyes followed us as we found seats among Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. We were curious about our new environment but tried to hide our excitement. We were High School students but little did we realize the knocks a Freshman must take. The members who composed this Freshmen class were, Doris Walker, Annie Walker, Howard Marcum, Glen Cripps, Arthur Bates, Mervelyn Hens-lee, Betty Hausotter, Einred Neet, Benny Nichols, Elzie Ash, Darrell Lincks, William Phillips, Dorothy Yokum, Nelson Howard, Melba Wilson, Hazel Martin, Donald Cornutt, and Roscoe Ball. By the fall of '34, the class had greatly decreased in number, leaving only eleven of the class to help initiate the new Freshmen into our High School. We tried to do our work well and were sad to find so many faces missing when another school year arrived. We were very sorry the others could not enjoy the work we entered into as upper classmen. We are now in our Senior year and we feel that we have accomplished a great deal during the four short years we have been here. We appreciate the advantages we have in the new school house which equals that of other schools, and we are proud to be its first graduating class. We know not what the future of this proud class will be, but we hope that each member will develop into a fine man or woman. The members of the graduating class of ’37 are: Karl Kimmel, Roscoe Ball, William Phillips, Nelson Howard, Dorothy Yokum, Hazel Martin, Melba Wilson, and Darrell Lincks.

Some were slipping, some hung on, 'Till we saw a Sophomore dawn; Gaining knowledge here and there, We never quit for grim despair. Upper classmen, then at last, Our first two years put in the past; Plodding on, but homeward bound, Surely our efforts will be crowned. And now a Senior, brave and bold, Our High School story has been told; We're here to do our very best, We've reached the top, we're at the crest. Ahead there lies the open sea, Green and Gold it beckons me, The Fragrance of the Yellow Rose Fills the air like sweet repose. We hear the cry, we set the sail, We weather every storm and gale; ’•' hen evening comes we hope to be Safely at home beyond the sea. When life grows dim and shadows fall, We will gather again in life's great hall, And realize as there we sit That Life Is What We Make Of It.

It has been smooth and pleasant sailing for us, thanks to our dear Riddle High School and patient faculties. At the Freshman port, three of our shipmates sailed away, namely, Claretta Hansen, Robert Root, and Marion Stiltner. When the Sophomore Terminal was reached and the year was ended, Lena 3ates had decided to bid us bon voyage . The remaining dozen members sailed on and are now approaching the close of part three of our High School voyage. Elaine Merritt is fond of Chemistry and is capable of more questions than a news reporter. Edythe and Elsie Hamaersley pay close attention during class but Charles Taylor seldom does. Myrna Pruner and Dorothy lloore are always competing for high honors in typing. Zane Becker is potentially a brilliant lad. The silence is seldom broken by the voices of Betty and Richard Kausotter while William Wilson can cause more laughs than Eddie Cantor does in a month. Kathryn Glanville is always studious. Last, but not least, comes Winnifred Rockhill who is ever ready to make a witty remark about anything she has seen. While the Junior Class is not outstanding in the field of athletics, it does include many students with high scholastic records. We have chosen for our motto, Sail On , because we feel that these words adequately express our boundless ambitions. We do intend to abide by it and stay on the deck of the ship of Progress until we have covered the last knot of our life’s voyage. We Juniors are now looking forward to the next and last year of our journey over that part of life's sea that does sc much toward shaping our characters and we hope for the continuance of our motto, Sail On .

Covers were laid for twenty-four and the room was lighted by the soft glow of tall candles. The banquet va3 prepared by the girls of the Junior class and served ir four courses by the Sophomore and Freshmen girls. It was a very well prepared repast, and the entire occesion was a crodit to the efforts of the Junior class. After the banquet Mr. Harter, accompanied at the piano by Annette Hart, sang a solo, and short talks wore made by the Presidents of the classes and faculty members.

T ! r v ■ - yl y m The Sophomore Class At the close of the high school year the Sophomores stand at the crossroads with two good years behind them and two better years ahead. This school year found the class with the same enrollment as the year before. Several had gone from our ranks but new members had taken their places. One of the events in which the class took part at Christinas tine was the musical pageant. liany of the class members displayed special talents in singing and acting which gives the class a bright outlook for future events of this kind. When the 3a3ket Ball and Volley Ball season was in full swing, the Sophomores did their share in helping to gain many honors for our school. Practically every member of the class had a very active part in many of the school functions. During the spring semester, the class was not quite as studious as in the fall, but it was still willing to do a full share of tne activities. The class as a whole has been the source of much pep and enthusiasm at the parties and social functions that have already been given this year and they nay be expected to carry on until the very close of school. Our greatest triumphs of this year were our victories over the Junior Class boys in tho Basket Ball Tournament and the Junior’s mixed Volley Ball team when the intercldss game3 were held shortly after the close of tho regular season. The class officers have managed all Sophomore business well. Everyone in the class has cooperated to make it a successful year and we hope they will maintain this spirit in the years to come.

As you can see from our picture, there are only four of us, but what we lack in number we more than make up in school spirit, enthusiasm, and ambition. Two weeks after the beginning of school, we were initiated into the many mysteries of High School life. You would surely have thought that we had dressed in the dark if you could have seen us on initiation day, but we were only following directions. That night we were the honored guests of the entire student body. They served us delicious, red pepper sandwiches, fish worms, country frogs, and raw eggs. To top it off, we had to swallow a handful of flour, and wash it down with molasses. After that v e were recognized as full-fledged High School students. V e are very proud of the distinction we have in being the first Freshmen class to meet in the new school house. We appreciate all of the advantages and opportunities the new building offers, but we all have a warm spot in our hearts for the old school house and the fond memories it often brings to our minds. During the first semester, the members of the class took part in many of the school activities. V e were all represented in the cast of the Christmas pageant, and some -.of us succeeded in making the volleyball and basketball teams. V e also participated in school plays and entertainments presented during the spring term, and some of us were fortunate enough to be named on the school baseball tean3. What the future holds in store for U3 we do not know, but we intend to complete our High School education here, and to graduate to-gether when 1940 rolls around.

Ten o'clock in the morning found nine of the be3t teams ready to play and throughout the remainder of the day fast and interesting games followed each other in very rapid succession. Although the Riddle boys made a very fine showing, they were unable to cope with the superior playing of some of the other teams and did not reach the playoff. Reedsport's speedy team tool: first place by easily defeating the Myrtle Creel: grades in the finals, and Days Creek, by defeating Glide, won third place. Roseburg and Ashland Tournaments In the annual Douglas County High School 3asketball Tournament, the Riddle Irish won their first game from Elkton 33 to 18, but lo3t the next one to Myrtle Creek 20 to 14. The Iri3h made more field goals than Myrtle Creek, but were unable to convert on their free throws. The following morning the boys were eliminated from the running by dropping a hotly contested game to Recd3port. The championship was won by Myrtle Creek, and Reedsport placed first in the Consolation race. At the Ashland Tournament, fate seemed to follow the boys, and they lost their first two games, one to Phoenix and the other to Madras. Chiloquin took first place in this tournament, with Merrill talcing second. The first place in the Consolation division was won by Port Orford.

Powell, our girls got off to a fine start in the first game of the season, with a victory over the Camas Valley girls, in a very fast game on the Camas floor. Camas did much better in the second game, and held our team to a tie score cn our new gymnasium floor. During the remainder of the season, there were many fast and interesting games but in most of them our opponents v� ere too strong for us and carried off the high score. Although the season could not be counted as highly successful from the point of view of victories, nevertheless our girls, by a splendid display of spirit and good sportsmanship, won the admiration and plaudits of all who saw them play.

H. S. Wins Championship On the afternoon of June 11, our boys net the Days Creek boys, at Days Creek, in the last game of the season to decide the Douglas County Championship. Riddle won the toss and took the field in a drizzling rain that made the ground slippery and the ball hard to handle. Our boys were a bit nervous and a walk, a hit, and an error, resulted in a score for Days Creek. Both teams then played good ball but Howard, our pitcher, hit safely in the third, stole second, and went hone on Kimnel’s hot grounder, thus tying the score. Days Creek came back in the first of the fourth inning and aided by a hard shower of rain which made the ball too slick to hold, scored four runs. The Riddle boys were not beaten yet, and in the last half of that inning, both Ball and Mellor hit safely and Wilson drove them in with a grounder past second, later scoring himself to bring the count to 4—5 Days Creek. Days Creek scored once in the fifth, and our boys cane to bat two runs behind. With two batters retired Lincks trippled to deep center and held third while Sporer boat out a bunt. Cornutt then laid the wood on it to score both runners but was called out after it was decided that he was assisted in base running. The score was again tied and both teams went scoreless in the sixth. The game seemed l03t in the seventh, when Ulam, first man up, drove one to deep left field that went for a homer. The home crowd cheered wildly but our boys calmed down and retired the next throe batters in order. It was now Riddle’s last chance, and that looked slim when Sporer, first up, flew to Rondeau in center field but Cornutt, after taking two strikes, drew a walk and went to second on a wild pitch. Wilson also walked and both runners then advanced one base on a wild pitch to Howard who smacked the next one out to short left field for a two base hit that scored Comutt and Wilson and gave the game to Riddle.

The editing of The Riddle has been enjoyable and educational to the students on the staff. In years to cone the Annual can be looked upon with pride by the members of the staff and Student Body who supported and aided in publishing it. The pictures and notes will bring back fond memories of school days at good old Riddle High. Due to the interest all have shown toward the present Year Book we sincerely hope the Riddle High School Associated Students will find it possible to make its publication a yearly function.

Both teams were in good shape, and the game was well played with the Sophomores emerging victorious by a score of 16 to 14. In the second tilt, the Seniors trounced the Freshmen 36 to 23, and by so doing, put themselves into the Championship race which they finally wrested from the Sophomores by a one point margin. Meanwhile the Consolation Title was being decided in a fast game between the Freshmen and Juniors. Both teams were determined to win, and it was only with the utmost effort that the Freshmen finally took the struggle by a count of 15 to 13. Interclass Volleyball Tournament This was the first of its kind ever to be held in this High School, and owing to the enthusiasm shown, it will probably be made an annual affair. The first game of the series was between the Juniors and Seniors.lt was a hotly contested battle, but the Seniors proved to be too strong for their opponents and built up an early lead which the Juniors were unable to overcome. The Freshmen, assisted by members of the Faculty, upset the Sophomores in the second game of the Tournament. This put the Senior and Freshmen classes into the Championship bracket, while the Juniors and Sophs moved into Consolation position. Tho playoff of these two ties resulted in the Freshmen taking Championship Honors and the Sophomores capturing first place in the Consolation race. Entertainment of Visiting Teams During the Basketball and Volleyball season our home teams decided to entertain the visiting teams by serving light lunches and hot drinks after the games. A lack of facilities had kept us from doing this in the past, but with our new Home Economics equipment, we were able to handle the players without much difficulty. Vfe enjoyed this activity, and plan to make it a part of our future athletic program. Christmas Pageant On the evening of December 23, our annual Christmas program was presented in the High School Auditorium. Representatives from all the rooms participated in the program, which consisted of music, recitations, and a pageant portraying the birth of Christ. After the program, Santa Claus brought in a large sack containing candy, oranges, and nuts which were given out to all the children present. High School Party Our annual High School party, which was a very informal affair, was given in the new gymnasium. The evening was devoted chiefly to the playing of games. Volleyball was the first choice, and everyone drew a piece of colored paper to decide which team they had to play on. After the championship had been decided, we played several other games. By this time we were all quite tired and hungry, so we stopped playing and adjourned to the Home Economics room to enjoy a tasty lunch of sandwiches, cake, and cocoa. After eating, we played a few more games and then disbanded for our several homes. It was an evening of fun and frolic long to be remembered by everyone attending. ■MM High School Benefit Program On the evening of May 30, the High School held a program, the proceeds of which went into the Associated Student Body funds. The entertainment was well attended, and everybody reported ail enjoyable evening. The program was greatly varied, and consisted of a series of one act play3, songs, instrumental numbers, and dances. The High School especially wishes to thank all those fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students who so willingly helped with the entertainment. Senior Prom The Senior class held their dance on Friday night, June 4, in the old gymnasium. A3 their colors were Green and Gold, streamers of yellow and green crepe paper constituted the decorations. The Seniors wish to express their appreciation to the musicians and all others who helped in making this affair possible. For some it may prove to bo the last time that they could spend a social evening together, but be that as it may, it will form one of many links in the long chain of fond memories that we have forged while finishing our High School work. Junior Dance On Friday evening June 11, the old gymnasium was the scene of another gay occasion. The hall was decorated with streamers and a large 38 was suspended from the center of tho ceiling. At one end of the room a space v as closed off from the rest of the floor by a bank of azaleas, and tables were arranged to represent a French Sidewalk Cafe. Proceeds of the dance were used to defray expenses of the Junior-Senior Banquet. Senior Play Sgl£ 2£ The Seniors chose The Arizona Cowboy , a comedy-drama of the great Southwest for the class play this year. It was a fast action, clean-cut play full of breezy western humor that eliminated any dull moments during its presentation. The play portrayed the story of a western girl left alone to run the ranch her father has willed to her. It was located among the valleys of old Arizona, in a region filled with gamblers and outlaws. Fate seemed to be against her when she at last was seized and carried off by the band of outlaws, but the Cowboy Sheriff',' a Navajo chief and others of her friends came to her rescue. A touch of pathos marred the joy of it as the Indian maiden gave her life to save her White Lion , but comedy reigned supreme as Old 89 and his comely wife, aided by the Chink and the Youngun , sallied forth in their line of duty. The audience greatly enjoyed the presentation and the entire cast, as well as their coach, Mr.Cook, are to be highly praised on their excellent performance. Order of the R On June 2, 1937, the lettermen organized and founded the order of the R . This was the first time in the history of the school that such an organization had ever been established. The Associated Students chose basketball, volleyball and baseball as major sports and a student has to win a letter in any one of the above mentioned sports before he can be eligible for membership in the order of the R . It is also necessary to reach and keep a high standard of sportsmanship, courtesy, and scholarship, and to strive at all times to perpetuate the honor of the school. It is hoped that some more new sports may be included in the major sports list in the near future, so that more students will develop an interest in athletics.
