Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1938 volume:

The RIDDLE VOLUME The annual publication of the ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY of the RIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL 1938 DEDICATION It is with a spirit of admiration and appreciation that the staff of THE RIDDLE dedicates this volume to the pioneers whose courage, foresight, and determination enabled them to settle and develop this area of Douglas County in which we now livea She paused in the dawning of life, When songs of birds filled the air. It seejaed strange that one so lovely, Would give thought or heed to a care. The bloom of the apple was opening. A fragrance of flowers there were.• The angels in heaven were watching, They all had their eyes upon her. They came as the sun wa3 setting At the end of a lovely spring day. The harps play sweet and lowly As they carried our loved one away. The songs of the birds grew silent, A strange rustling filled the breeze. All nature stood still for a moment, A hush fell over the trees. We bowed our heads in our sorrow And ere we resumed our long task. We gave our tokens of flowers And placed the flag at half mast. Her memory will live with us ever. Her sweet smile v ill always be near. The thoughts of our meeting tomorrow Will keep our hearts filled with its cheer.

To see Mae West in SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Our class made their first appearance in Septer.ber, 1934 with an enrollment of fourteen eager Freshmen. Members of our class were: Winnifred Rockhill, Edith Hammersley, Kathryn Glanville, Claretta Hansen, Dorothy Moore, Elaine Merritt, Myrna Pruner, Marion Stiltner, Elsie Hammersley. Harlan Henry, Bob Root, Billy Wilson, Richard Hausotter and Zane Becker. When the fall of 1935 found us, we again assembled at the old school house to resume our studies. Marion Stiltner and Claretta Hansen decided to go in search of matrimony and are now happy housewives. Claretta now resides at Eugene and Marion lives in Washington. In the midst of all this excitement Harlan Henry left us and moved to Oakland, and Bob Root moved to Roseburg, but Charles Taylor and Betty Hausotter Joined our class to help fill the vacant positions. The third year found us the first Junior class to take our place in the new school house. During this term we entered into the social activities of the school. The functions most worthy of note were the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Junior dance. At the close of this term Winnifred Rockhill net her one and only and later in the summer of 1937 she too journeyed to the altar. She still makes her home near Riddle. Kathryn Glanville moved to Orange, California to finish high school. And now we cone to the fourth and greatest year in the history of our class. The members who have gained athletic distinction are none other than Billy Wilson and Zane Becker. We are now nearing the end of our Senior year with ten members of our original class. Those to graduate are: Myrna Pruner, Betty Hausotter, Edith Hammersley, Elaine Merritt, Elsie Hammersley, Dorothy Moore, Charles Taylor, Zane Becker, Richard Hausotter and Billy Wilson, To the Juniors we leave our privileges and rights as Seniors, our iuportance and wisdom. To the Sophomore class, we leave our patience and sense of humor. To the Freshmen we leave much good luck. To our teachers we leave our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid. Individually we leave the following: I, Llyrna Pruner, will ny ability to keep secrets to Gwen Howard. I, Billy V'ilson, will ny ohaming ways with the girls to Pat Becker. I, Zane Becker, will my school skipping technique to the Freshmen boys. I, Dorothy Moore, will my pleasing personality to anyone who needs it. I, Edith Hamnersley, bequeath my freckles to Dorothy Martin. I, Elaine Merritt, will ny ability to mix finger nail polish to Jimmy Nichols. I, Charles Taylor, will ny studiousness to Jack Cornutt. I, Betty Hausotter, will my intellectual mind to Charles Ueathers. We, the Senior class, do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this will, Mr. Chester Cook. SENIOR CLASS WILL V e, the class of 1938 of the Riddle High School, being in good mental condition, do hereby make this our last will and testament and in this manner do v e dispose of our possessions. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Stewardess Myrna Pruner made a swift survey of the airplane and then laughed. It looks like we re all here. Every member of the graduation class of 1938 was aboard the plane headed for New York. Starting with Edith , Myrna continued, let’s tell what each of us has done since departing from ye auld alma mater twenty years ago . Edith Hammersley, dressed in ermine coat and holding a tiny Pekinese dog on her lap began her story, I went to California soon after graduation and met a millionaire. We were married a year later and then I started taking life easy At the present time, I am touring the World with my companions— Peke and Betty. I ran out of something to do after leav-s-ing Riddle in 39 , Betty Hausotter stated, so thought that I would visit Edith. She invited me to stay with her as a companion on her many exploits. I have been with her ever since. We have traversed the United States from one end to the other so we are now taking in a larger territory. Charles Taylor lighted a huge cigar, then started his tale. Well, I’ve been havin' one swell time these years. He paused to chew on the end of the cigar before continuing. I am President of the Taylor Amusement Corporation. The cigar went to the other side of his mouth as he leaned back in his chair.- I had a hard time climbing up to the top, but I am finally there. All eyes turned to Dorothy Moore who was dressed in a very business-like manner. My business career, she confided, was very short lived. I was a private secretary for two years and then, Dorothy paused and her red blouse reflected into her face, I married a doctor. I am now on my way to New York to meet my husband. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) After I left Riddle, Elaine Ilerritt related, I went to a university and majored in Journalism. I then received a position as news reporter for a large paper. That is why that I an travelling by plane, I’m covering that kidnapping case that was in this mornings paper. Scientific faming is ny present occupation. Billy V ilson told his classmates. I have a large ranch, a wife, and 4 children---to say nothing of a bunch of chickens and cats. Right now I an going to find out the price of eggs in New York. The pilot turned the controls over to the co-pilot and faced his friends. This pilot was none other than Zane Becker. Well, I took up aviation after graduating fron R. H.S. and obtained ny pilots license. Since then, I have been working steady for this same air line. That seems to be everyone but me, tlyrna stated. I took up nurses training and obtained ny degree, then I worked as a trained nurse for a hospital for some time and then gained this position as stewardess. I am not married but ercpect to soon be. Just then the Statue of Liberty appeared in the distance, consequently, the conversation stilled as the classmates made ready to separate again and each continue his own chosen wall: of life.

THE JUNIOR CLASS The class of 5$ has just taken its third step up the ladder of knowledge. This year has been a great improvement over last year and we expect to show even greater progress in the future. The Junior class this year was made up of nearly the sane group that began as Frosh a short three years ago. Some have deserted our ranks however, and among those missing wo find Burnell Ball, Betty Freeman, Robert Sporer and Vernon Eastman. Y e wish these a very successful future wherever they are. In the field of athletics, our class made a very satisfactory showing. All the boys were able to place on the basketball squad and each of then turned in a fine season’s performance both in practice and conference Games. On the football field and again on the softball diamond, our class showed very great possibilities. In the inter-class basketball tournament our boys wore able to capture the championship title for the first time in the class history. Incidentally our team was cu.dc up entirely of Junior boys while all the other teems contained representatives from two or more classes. Although only one of the girls showed any possibilities on the volleyball court, the others displayed their abilities by placing high in scholastic standing. Our class has kept up its reputation this year as being the leaders in activity, pep and enthusiasm. Some of the members of the class showed marked talent in the different plays put on by the high school. Our throe years of high school life have been full of triumphs and pleasures and we hope that our last year will more than fulfill our greatest anticipations.

Several of our members have participated in school plays, carnivals, sports and various Student Body activities. The two boys we re named as substitutes in basketball and took part in the “practice baseball games. Cleo Bates proved himself as being capable at the B League Tournament in Roseburg. Cleo made the basket that won the game between Riddle and Gardiner in an overtime period. The winning of this game tied the team with Wilbur for championship position. Two of the girls woro lucky enough to be chosen on the first tcan of volleyball and represented our class at the Home Economics meeting in Drain. The Sophomore and Freshmen boys combined this year in competing for the inter-class championship in basketball. Owing to hard luck and too strenuous competition the team didn’t get very far. In the near future we hope to bo in the championship position. Some of the members of the class participated in tho throe-one act plays and the Senior play given by tho Associated Student Body for school funds near the close of tho term and tho Christmas Pageant and Carnival earlier in the year also for the same purposc. We have enjoyed our olasses very much and a very good selection of subjects has been offered to us. The boys are very enthusiastic over Manual Training while the girls hold Typing I and Horae Eoonomics as their most interesting subjects. The study of A Tale of Two Cities in Literature and Business Training follows close behind in our opinion. Nichols, Rigsby, Townsend, Glanville Howard, Griggs, Hiles Class Officers President . .

V o felt highly honored at being the special guosts at this dinner given for us Several of the members of this class took part in plays at the beginning of the year and some took part in the plays given this spring. . , The Freshmen have done their part xn tne school athletics. Several of the boys and girls have taken part in the basketball and volleyball games during the winter. In the spring some of us succeeded in getting on the baseball teams. We feel that we have done our very best to keep the school full of good spirit and pep. We hope that in future years we shall always have good feeling among the studonts and other schools. Although wo’re Grcon as groen can be, Wc have eyes and wc can see; Our hands wc use to do our work, Our hoads tell us to never shirk.

ROSE BURG T0URNAI2SNT After conquering several teams the Riddle boys went to Roseburg to try for tho County Chanpionship cup. The first big game was with Camas Valley. They provod to be a hard team to defeat but the Riddlo boys ovorcanc them by a score of 29-22. Zanc Becker went out on fouls. Tho next game was plenty exciting.

THE ASHLrtND TOURNAIIENT The Riddle boys, after a successful trip to the County Tournament motored to Ashland to try for the Southern Oregon Championship series. The Tournament was scheduled in the Southern Oregon Normal School's gym. Tired from the trip, the boys were beaten in their first game, losing to Eagle Point by a close score of 26-21. The Eagle Point players were rough and consequently Cornutt was put out on fouls in the second quarter; Nil son following later in the game. That defeat got the boys to working. The next day the boys met Kerby, another strong team. Tho outcome depended on whether the plucky Irish could check Prentice, a giant 6'6 center. By interchanging a man to man with zone defense, Riddle almost completely stopped him. Our boys were all fighting to win, and show that Kerby team a few things. ', hen the final whistle blew, Riddle was on the long end of a 31 to 28 score. The Langlois team was next to fall before Riddle's fast breaking offense in the semifinals. Tho opponents had a good team, but the Riddle boys were on and annexed another victory.

The opposing team could not br ak through Riddle's strong defense. Riddle won the gome by tho score of 25-18. It was an exciting game and proved quite b nefici .1 for Riddle, for it gave them the right to own a Silver Loving Cup, as winner of the Consolation Championship. Thi3 was the first year in the history of tho Riddle school that the home term came back from Ashland with the bccon .

In the consolation games Camas took Glon-dalo by a score of 23 to 19 but fell before Canyonvillo 20 to 18. At 7:30 P. M. Canyon-villo lost to Myrtle Creek in the last conference game 19 to 14.

This year’s playing gained for then real favor with the audiences who saw then play. Iluch credit goes to Hr. Cook for his help in coaching and directing the tean through many hours of practice. Clean sportsmanship and an improvement in playing ability were shown by all the girls in both practice and conference games. Two games played with Camas Valley, early in the season, were won by our tean and the strong Wilbur team was also defeated on the hone floor in a fast pre-season tilt. In conference competition the team failed to gain a place at the tournament play-off, but all will agree that the girls turned in a favorable record and fine cooperation was MYrtle Griggs Dorothy Moore Myrna Pruner Elaine Annette Hart Gwen Howard Betty Cornutt Betty Uellor Jean Hiles In spite of several handicaps, the boys' softball team experienced an enjoyable season playing non-conference games. The first encounter with Canyonville was dropped by a score of 16-12 but later on in the season this defeat was avenged by downing the Canyonville lads 14-11. Both games were played on the opponent's ball park. A little later our boys dropped a game to Days Creek 8� 7 «hic incidoatully happened to be the same score by which Riddle downed Days CrGek in the County Championship game last year. Tho remainder of tho season was spent in playing a series of inter-olass games among two formidablo teams, known as tho Phots and Leans . Tho starting lineup usually consisted of Bates, catcher; Liollor, 3hort stop; Z.Bock-or,first base; Wilson, center field; lioore, second base; P.Becker, third base; Cornutt, pitcher; Nlohols, right field, and Rigsby, left field. Weathers, Taylor, and Phillips were three strong spare outfielders. The team had a great deal of power at the plate, but lacked the strong defense of the last year’s club. GIRLS' SOFTBALL Since it was decided this season that the Riddle girls would not participate in soft-ball as an inter-school sport there are no results of victories or defeats to publish. However when pleasant weather favored us, there was a genuine enthusiasm on the part of the girls, as they enjoyed the game during the regular Physical Education periods. On stormy days tho gym was a welcome place for practice early in the season. Practice gome3 with other teems have proved helpful in building up a strong team for next year. OUR YEARBOOK V hen the question of printing a year book was brought up last year we were just a bit doubtful as to the advisibility of attempting such a project. However after due consideration by the faculty and students, it was decided to go ahead with the work. Although none of those on the staff had ever done such work, they turned out a very fine job as anyone will agree who has seen last year’s book. In fact, we were so well satisfied that the publication of an Annual a-gain this season was just taken for granted without any question. Our book this year is similar in a great many ways to last year’s edition but several important changes have been made and the staff feels that they will greatly improve this year’s volume. Some of the most noteworthy changes are; the using of individual pictures of the faculty, board of directors and senior class; introduction of a dedicatory page; and the mimeographing of some of the advertisements. We feel that tho continued publication of an Annual is an assured fact and we know it will be consistently improved and enlarged.

It was designed to bring news of the school to the community and to give the students a better knowledge of the various phases of Journalism. The paper was put out by the students and every effort was put forth to give the latest news to the community. Different students were used in the various staff offices during the first and second semesters so as to give them the opportunity to try their hand at different types of work. The staff listed below i3 for the second semester. The Journalism class has enjoyed publishing the school paper and hopes that it will continue to be a school activity in coming years.

The hall was decorated with blue and white streamers which extended from the corners of the room and joined at the center of the ceiling from which suspended a large 58 . Refreshments sold during the evening were cookies, soda pop and root beer. The Seniors wish to express their appreciation to Mrs. Lela Ball and her Troubadours for the music, and to all of those whose presence helped to make the occasion ________________________ THE FRESH! IEN BAi'iUET Shortly after the beginning of school the upper classnen decided to make a cor.plete change in the freshmen initiation. A surprize banquet took the place of the custom of the past and gave the new pupils a different understanding of the students of the higher classes. The affair was held in the Hone Economics department on the evening of November sixteenth. The freshmen were led, blindfolded, into the darkened room and to their places at a beautifully decorated table. Here the blinds wore removod from their eyes. The lights were turned on and everyone centered their attention on eight astonished freshmen. Following the meal, appreciation speeches were made by Mrs. Harter, Gwendolyn Howard, Miss Williams, Hr. Campbell, and Mr. Cook. Last of all, a speech was made by Dorothy Moore pronouncing the freshmen full fledged High School students. As this plan worked successfully and was so much more appropriate, it will probably be followed in the coming years THE HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL This carnival was given on the evening of October twenty-ninth und was the second to be held in the new gymnasium. With great pride, students of the school presented several different types of plays, which were greatly enjoyed by the audience. After these acts everyone amused themselves by taking part in the gomes, for which various prizes were given. As the evening drew to a close, Ur. Cook announced the winner of the door prize. We have a deep feeling of gratitude for those who helped to make this program successful. THE JUNIOR DANCE This affair was held in the old gymnasium on the evening of May sixth. The gymnasium was decorated with green and salmon colored streamers extended from the ceiling. Suspended from the center was a large 39. Music was furnished by Mrs. Lela Ball and her Troubadours and everyone 3pent a very enjoyable evening. Refreshments were sold to add to the gayety and the dance proved to be successful. The proceeds were spent for the Junior-Senior Banquet. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Another evening was spent in the Home Economic’s dining room May sixteenth. Sixteen persons were present for which tables were arranged and decorated with vases of pretty flowers. Everyone enjoyed themselves and spent a very happy evening together. After dinner the gay sixteen played cards until the time came to return to their hones. Several appreciation speeches were made by members of the Senior class. This occasion will probably be remembered throughout the years by those who were present. FISH LAIZE TRIP Members of the Riddle High School took a trip ta Fish Lake during the latter part of May. Fish Lake lies at the foot of beautiful snow-capped Mt. Pitt. The fishing was very good and the lake was especially nice for swimming. Monday, May thirtieth, the party returned to Riddle. SENIOR CLASS PLAY The class of ’38 chose for their play the 3 act mystery farce Spooky Tavern by Jay Tobias. From the time the curtain went up for the first act until the end, the audience was held in their seats spellbound and shivering a3 Lon Hacker, the gruesome cripple and Lucy Hacker the creepy old hag, assisted by the ghost woman, Faronethe creeper and his henchman Blackie Simms, do everything they can to thwart and murder a bunch of college students who are trying to lease the Tavern for a tea room. Tragedy stalks forth, a girl disappears, a terrible storm rages, groans and screams fill the night and the log house echoes to the thud of blows and the distant tramp of ghostly feet. Led by the indomitable Joyce and aided by Terry and Ralph, two very jealous suitors, the young folks manage to hold thoir own in the terrible ordeal. Joyce’s sister Flora-bol, Bedelia the colored maid and the stuttering freshman, nearly lose- their lives by fright but finally escape. It is indeed a night of horror, but morning finds then all alive. The audience at first heaves a big sigh of relief that murder has been averted and then gasps as the tenacity of youth asserts itself while the final curtain goes down. The entire cast and their coach, Mr.Cook, are to be complimented on the way in which the play was presented. THE CHRISTMAS PAGE.'JIT A beautiful play was presented on the evening of December twenty-fourth portraying the Birth of Christ and the romance of a kind crippled girl and a brave shepherd boy who watched his flocks on the Judean hills. Those students who were not in the play joined with Mr. Harter and the seventh and eighth grades in singing from the balcony. Other plays were presented by the students from the grade rooms, and following this, Santa Claus came in with nuts and candy for all of the little children. This performance was made possible by the cooperation of the students and by the advising of the teachers of the school. BASKETBALL BANQUET The members of the basketball squad were given a banquet March eighteenth by some of the mothers of those on the team. The affair took place in the Home Economics lunch room and proved to be very enjoyable to all who attended. The table wa3 decorated with tall yellow candles, and in the center were placed the Douglas County Softball Championship trophy and the Ashland Consolation basketball cup. Those present were: Pat Becker, Zane Becker, Jack Cornutt, Jack Moore, Cleo Bates, Eugene Llellor, Dick Hausotter, Charles iea thers, James Phillips, Mr, and Mrs. Harter, Mr. Campbell, and kiss Williams. Assisting at the dinner were Mrs. John Moore, Mrs. J. M. Cornutt, Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. Austin Wilson, Mrs. Luther Bates, and lira, Grace Becker. This banquet was given the boys in recognition of their outstanding playing in both the Douglas County Tournament held at Rose-burg, and the Southern Oregon district meet at Ashland.
