Selah High may not be the biggest nor the best school in the valley, yet in the minds of those who hold her dear, she is unequalled. Selah has kept in step and matched her stride with that of other schools, until now, when, as a result of unending effort, she has begun to set the pace . . . reward of a deserving school, product of a zealous student following.

It was not until individuals or groups of individuals de- liberately set out to explore the unknown that great and rapid progress was made. Columbus, against great discouragements, set out to find new ocean routes and gave to the world a new continent. The founders of our nation deliberate- ly turned away from the known and tried forms of government and gave to humanity the ideals of personal and political liberty and equal opportunity for all. Dr. Jesse W. Lazear and Dr. James Carroll along with others offered them- selves as sacrifices in order that the cause of and the means of combatting the dread disease of yellow fever might be discovered. Through them and others like them the ills which humanity has suffered have been greatly reduced. This progress did not come accidentally. If we, as individuals, wish to make any worthwhile progress in life we must have definite goals and faithfully work toward these goals. Individuals, like the race as a whole, do not make progress accidentally. J. M. CAMPBELL. Faculty FRUITSPUR Left to right: Marshall, Milne, Stephens, Collition, McNamara, Tyrrell, Relyea, MacDonald, Ames, Watkins Drake Mr. Smith. Student Administration OVIS 'FYHRHLIA was addressed as Mr, President in the Board of Control, the governing' body ot the Student Activities Association. t'ompetently steering personalities from the elashing point, he presided over the meetings wherein problems and business concerning the students and their aetivities were discussed, debated, and acted upon. Outstanding among aetions taken by the board was the purehasing ot' new basketball suits for the t'Vikings. With liob Milne eampaigning in the inter- est ot' those he managed, and liob Stephens and Bill Maellonald, star basket- ball players, boosting' the motion, it passed unanimously. Next among important, decisions was the ranking of tennis as a major sport. this being aecomplished by adroit, undereover maneuvering of tennis- aee and vice-prexy, John Collition. Glenn Phillips, well qualified as an ex-junior elass treasurer. saw the stu- dent body through a year limited by the rigid eolumns ot' the budgret. lflvelyn lielyea's official signature was the eonelusion of S. .X. A. business letters. Verla Watkins, shy and uncertain, aceurately tit her role of freshnian representa- tive. Peggy Ames was the solieitor ot' soeial aetivities and lteulah Marshall, the voiee ot' the Pep t'lub. -laek lllt'Ntllll2il'il. annual editor, was made promi- nent by the introduetion of an amendnient to limit students to one major otfiee, while Virginia Drake, Valyx editor, sueeeeded in her plan for the debate team to attend the eonferenee in Taeonia. FRUITSPUR pw, A Graduating Class9s lldyssey AMES make 11ews, even as names from '37 class books have made history. The seniors will have left only bodily, for each personality will leave something of its individuality to echo through the halls of Selah High-so1neone's jaunty comebacks, someone 's laugh, someone's gayety. Irradiated, these inimitable traits have added something to our school which will remain forever. Freshmen activities were directed by Bud Burgner, tallied by Marian Englund, paid for through Peggy Ames. Bill Longmire transmitted freshmen ideas to the B. O. C. The next year, Jeanne Brown beguiled the majority of presidential votes. Lucille Engman kept notes and Glenn Phillips sowed the seeds of later economic achievement, while Peggy Ames looked out for sophomore interests at B. O. C. meetings. ln that same year, the class of '37 was first swept into political prominence when, through S. A. A. vice-president Jack McNamara, S. A. A. treasurer Bud Burgner, basketball manager Bob Milne, representative Peggy Ames, they captured four out of the thirteen B. O. C. seats. Girls looked toward Leona Tyrrell and Marian Englund as leaders whose efficiency benefited the Girls' Club through their respective offices of vice-president and secretary. As juniors, class meetings, more serious in motive than former gatherings, were made progres- sive by Al Kloster's energetic leadership. Star slugger Curdele Lloyd stood ready to step into Al's shoes, Phyllis Longmire concentrated her daintiest chirography on the minutes, and Glenn Phillips doled out junior earnings for junior activities. Curdele occupied the seat in the B. O. C. reserved for junior representative. e Jack and Bud exchanged S. A. A. offices that year, Bob Milne continued to manage basketball affairs, and Jeanne Brown registered B. O. C. actions. Phyllis Longmire became mistress of finance for the Girls' Club, Louis Tyrrell the chancellor of the exchequer for the Boys' Club. The Junior-Senior banquet, nautical in motive and entertaining in program was an achievement of effort and ingenuity on the part of the class of '37, Liberal-minded Ralph Seibly presided over senior class meetings. Bill Longmire shouldered the job of vice-prexy, and Joyce Johnston kept the official pencil moving. Senior class treasurer became a side-line for Glenn Phillips, who signed away S. A. A. funds at the direction of the B. O. C. The class of '37 retained its B. O. C. prestige through Glenn, Jack, as Fruitspur editor, Louis Tyrrell, who was elected S. A. A. president, Bob Milne, as basketball manager, Evelyn Relyea, as S. A. A. secretary, and Peggy Ames, who saw that the student body was well entertained every Friday. Al Kloster perspired through a year of Boys' Club presidency, Peggy Ames led Girls' Club ac- tivities, and Jack McNamara re-animated the Honor Society in his presidential administration. Bob Burgner directed Boys' Club work through Lettermen 's Club presidency. Selah High basketball was kept going through the prowess of long-armed Louis Tyrrell, fast- stepping Ralph Seibly, Bud Burgner, Al Kloster and Curdele Lloyd. Leona Tyrrell, Lucille Engman, Tom Ward, and Bob Milne, were responsible for many a victory for Selah on the tennis courts. Outstanding in politics, dramatics, athletics, music, the seniors, although departing, are leav- ing through their own personal efforts, honor and achievement to Selah High.

Last Year9s Trophy Winner By no means satisfied with a si11gle feather in her cap, Bernice Shepherd swept through activity after activity and added the finishing touch to her long list of successes by being awarded the t'hristian Trophy. Versatile, serious-eyed Bernice will be remembered, too, for her trustworthiness, expertness and ambitiousness. The small engraved name O11 the cup will remain a Sllllllllg' tribute to the most outstanding student ot' the graduating class of '3l6. Unaccustomed As I Am to Speaking in Publien Agile-tongued Bill Brathovde of last year's graduating class, through his superior progress in the Public Speaking course was awarded the Pleasant Hill Goodwill i'lub's prize oi' rF2.5ll. Two-fifty for Two A member of each year's senior class is awarded 345 by the Selah Women's iflnb as the most outstanding English student. The unusual occurred last year when it was discovered that Viola Bas- conib and Marjory Mickleson had exactly the same grades. In all fairness, the prize was divided between them. FRUITSPUR 1',,g.,o Boys' Club One hundred and forty boys addressed Al Kloster as Mr. President , followed him through a maze of in- tramural athletic tournaments, ping pong, Fathers' and Sons' steaks, smokers-a year active, engrossing, satisfy- ing. Biggest money-making project was the presentation of The Cougar , first talking picture to be shown at Selah High. Most pleasurable event was the Fathers' and Sons' banquet, at which some 300 fathers, sons, business men, and teachers feasted, gave impromptu talks, and listened to jokesters. OFFICERS-Advisor Shearingg Treasurer Williamsg President Klosterg Vice-president Stephens: Secretary Johnson. Pop Club A calendar of ticket selling, advertising and odd jobs forced pepsters to give full vent to excess energies before assigned tasks were marked as finished. Special- ized work was the printing of handbills and tickets by Beulah Marshall and Kevin Shepherdg high-pressure Howard Montgomery boosted ticket sales, and basketball crowds answered appeals from Roy Stephens and War- ren Jones with ringing cheers.

Artistic developments were carried out by Joyce Johnston, the informal views were snapped by Bob Milne, and Don Johnson provided the humor. Athletics editor was John Collition and special feature writers were: Betty Gay Purdin. Bernadean McNamara, Barbara Jean McNamara, and Virginia Drake. Ellen Scherer and Don Baker handled subscriptions and advertisements. Page I0 TORCH BEARERS: First row-Carlson, Scherer, Johnston, Cavanaugh. Second row- Miss Stroebel, advisor, Burgner, Jahnke. Third row4Milne, McNamara. For the Honor of the School Constitutional revisions, keynoted with slightly stiffer grade qualifications and startlingly stiffer extra activity qualifications, was the Honor Society's chief ac- complishment this year. Jack McNamara presided over this unusually suc- cessful year-successful from the standpoint of his at- tempts to instill much needed energy into the organiza- tion. FRUITSPUR S Men Subsidiary to the Boys' Club, the S men under Bob Burgner, took the detailed work from its mother organization upon its own shoulders and planned the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet, organized boys' intramural activities, and smoothed out difficulties as they arose in the administration of these sports. This work gave good reason for the S-men's lease on existence. First row-Jones, Bergren, Williams, Farley, Baker, Ward. Second row-Cavenaugh, McNamara, Mllne, Eustace, Eli Breeding, Collition. Third row--Kloster, Burgner, Lloyd, Stephens, Seibly, Tyrrell. Girls' Club Little sisters, big sisters, and faculty members frolicked at the Girls' Mixer, a send-off for an active year of club affairs. Parties, a Tri-State Conference. and play days were included in the club's date book. Climaxing the success of the club year was the Mothers' and Daughters' Tea, made financially possible through candy sales and a magic show. Following tradition, the club again bore the brunt of Honor Society pin expenses. Left to right-Day, Watkins, Drake, Ames, Wright, Baker, Johnston, Austin, Herring, Left to right Slieplierd, Purdin, Scherer, Drake, Quall, llrators Four debates-four victories-semi-finals at the Puget Sound Debate Tournament. For these triumphs Virginia Drake argued calculatingly. Helen Shepherd dramatically, Ellen Scherer serenely, Betty Gay Purdin effusively, and all four convincingly. Governmental ownership of public utilities was the point in question: Mr. Quall, the coach. FRUITSPUR First row-Montgomery, Cook, Ausink, Purdin, Haworth. B. McNamara, Drake. Second row-fJahnke, B.

Calyx and Evho Old Calyx column for news . . .new Calyx Echo for names . . . both for enriching student life . . . the latter for an answer to the student body's question. Why shouldn't a school our size have a school paper? Enterprising Virginia Drake prepared the monthly dum- my and saw that weekly news was covered, with Miss Gwin standing by with the red pencil. Pagr' 1 I The Working Class Workers-the term that applies to every junior. They worked for their play's success, and they worked for their banquet's success. And with results. They've worked individually, too. Virginia Drake headed the Calyx Echo, with the majority of her staff mem- bers juniors. Three of the four debaters were junior voices. The FRUITSPUR, claimed juniors for half her staff. Ample representation in the Honor Society proved that they had not only working ability but brains as well. Boys' athletics proved something too-that juniors could hold their own among seniors and the fast-moving sophomore basketball group that stormed the first team this year. Other energy-requiring jobs that refused to be sluffed included the class presidency taken over by Douglas Eustace. Ken Lyons' duties were made less difficult by a full treasury, as were Juanita Wrightfs because the president was always on the job. Arloa Hollawell took down the details of class meetings, and Miss Gwin acted as counselor.

The gypsies are coming to dance and welcome tourists to the colorful spring carnival of Vienna. Into this sportive setting a gracious English widow clad in somber black, Gladys Herring, slips in unobtrusively. Each year at carnival time she returns seeking her stolen daughter. Del Odman, Jigo of the gypsy band, remains and instructs the gypsy queen, Illona, his mysterious daughter, to make friends among the tourists so the gypsies can rob them. But Illona, Louise Johnson. feels, unlike typical gypsies, that this is hateful. She begins to doubt that Jigo is her father. Discord arrives momentarily when Douglas Eustace. enterprising American and rapid-fire salesman for Penn- ington's Peter Piper Pickles. approaches Bud Burgner. his boss who has traveled the world over to escape pickles, with a new publicity stunt. Meanwhile, the tangled love affair of the petite Pennington heiress. Doris Haworth. and a struggling artist, Dwayne Daly, unfolds and ends happily. ' The lonely Englishwoman offers to adopt Illona, to take the place of her stolen daughter. This is met with ap- proval by the pickle salesman since Illona is dear to him. Climaxing this seemingly g0od fortune is the revelation in the magic pool that Illona is the real daughter of the widow.

EADER, imagine our chagrin when we discovered, at 8:00 a. m., on the morning of September I, that the schedule for the school events of the coming year was miss- ing-without a clue to its whereabouts! 'We immediately cabled our ace defective, Inspector Eversour Snooppuss, to take over the case. The following clues are merely the high-lights of the case as submitted from Mr. Snooppuss' diary: Sept. 1-Case a cinch! Have enlisted aid of school S-men, erime'll be solved before we get started. H,ll'1lll-IJOIIIS Tyrrell not present to take over presidential duties. Several scared- looking individuals, namely, freshmen, acting very nervous. Few questioned, but investigation proves them morally incapable of committing crime, and in most cases not tall enough to reach files Where schedule was reportedly kept. Sept. 4-Louis Tyrrell, dark and handsome in kindofa look-at-me way, appears on the scene. Quizzed, he professed to know nothing of the case. Surrounded by group of hired S- men, he stated that schedule must be found soon, or there would be no FRUITSPUR calendar. Sept. 20-Unexpected fire alarm at underclass party arouses not only suspicions, but several sophomores and freshmen from party-lull naps. Guilty parties not found, although general conclusion was that anyone who would set off false fire alarms would also steal schedules. Sept. 25-Espionage feared as S-men gather for instructions in gym for further move from higher-upf' S-men forced to shoot twice in self defense. Pictures fair, one proves Leona Tyrrell was posing for nudist colony advertisement instead of playing games at Girls' Mixer. When asked for explanation, she reportedly stated, They said to dress like little kids, so here I am. Defendant dismissed on plea of innocence. Sept. 30-Sizzling tip-off and sleuths hot-foot it to Pleasant Hill barn, alias ballroom, alias junior party. Check-up reveals host, one Leslie Shauf, to be no relation to the Major, although certain characteristics were noted in common. When grilled, only information con- cerned a trip to New York or somewhere. Oct. 1--S-men ordered to watch one Virginia Drake and a Miss Lois Gwin, seen plotting together behind closed doors on divers occasions. Search for schedule thought to be cinched but it was revealed that the two were merely preparing the dummy for the first copy of the Ualyx Hello. Oct. 10-Annex to building dedicated.

Ising If the juniors of the audience felt any inclination to take a cue from their play title early in the evening of November twentieth, they changed their minds and relaxed along about the second act. Hold Everything proved a success both artistically and financially. Doug Eustace played up to pretty Juanita Wright a ln Robert Taylor, with understanding Corinne Phillips offering an encouraging hand. Barbara Thompson added another feather to her act- ing cap with her characterization of the superstitious colored maid who became frighteningly involved with two crooks. fast-talking Bob Stephens and a little-too-nervous-for-his-own-good Warren Jones. Gladys Herring threw her minor role into prominence with her frantic attempts to give her three more ambitious than talented daughters, Helen Shepherd, Mary Jeanne Glenn and Lois May MeEvers, a chance at Hollywood. But when Ken Lyons detects the set-up's defects with hotel proprietress Ellen May Sheets unwitting aid, the stolen money is returned to rich bank- er Albert Matson. with villains Jones and Stephens receiving just deserts. to say nothing of the delectible dessert the leading man received as the curtain closed, F RU ITSP UR lmgffyl First row-Overstreet, Williams, Stephens, McClain, Seibly, Bob Stephens.

Manager Bob Milne renders first aid. Basketball The Selah Vikings clinched second place in the North Central District Conference, and won the play-off from the Naches Rangers. The Vikings lost the game with Cle Elum, the victory entitling Cle Elum to represent their dis- trict as second place entry of the valley. The defeat by the Cle Elum Miners was no reflection on the ability of the Vikings, as Cle Elum later won the Valley championship. The Selah Hi hoopsters gave the Cowiche Redskins, runner- up to the valley champions, a harder struggle than many of the tournament favorites did. Louis Tyrell, six-foot senior center, served as the Viking captain and was one of the outstanding players on the team. Tyrell was the best passer on the team and also one of the leading scorers. Bob Stephens, flashy junior guard, was a consistent high scorer and an excellent all-around player. Jim McClain, junior guard, was one of the team's best checkers. Fred Bergren, tall forward, tipped in many shots on rebounds from the backboard, while Ralph Seibly, senior forward, was one of the team's best long shots. Bob Burgner, a senior, played all three positions equally well and at the close of the season was chosen honorary captain. Other members of the team included Douglas Eustace, Roy Stephens, Don Williams, Lester Watkins, Bill McDonald, and Frank Hardy. Nine of the first twelve players will return for next season. Ira Overstreet coached the Vikings for his third season. Pagf'22 McClain guards the hot corner. Seibly waits for a roller.

Baseball The Selah Hi baseball nine brought the winning streak up to 26 consecutive victories in North Central District competition. The 1937 edition of the Viking diamond warriors was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors. Sev- eral veterans, however, reported for duty this spring. Ralph Seibly, senior, was the hustling second sacker, and the hot corner was held down by Jim McClain and Lester Watkins. Bill McDonald, smooth-fielding shortstop, was also one of the team's heavy hitters. Don Williams, flashy-fielding first sacker, led the Viking plate attack with a .357 average. The outfield was patrolled by Roy Stephens, Don Klang, and Dwayne Daly. The Viking pitching staff was composed of 'Lefty' Bob Stephens, the No. 1 hurler, Dwayne Daly, senior right hander, and Dale Anderson, sophomore fireball ace. Other players included Kevin Shepherd, left-handed first baseman and Bob Mead, freshman utility player. The Vikings expect to continue their baseball championship record next year with the return of a veteran team. Page23 First row-Jones, D.

Track The track and field men of Selah Hi turned in a creditable performance for the 1937 spring track season. Under the able guidance of Mr. Shearing, who made his debut as track mentor, the Viking Cinder artists acquired their sec- ond consecutive North Central District title. The outstanding track star on the Selah squad was Don Johnson, crack miler, who won first place in every meet he participated. His time for the mile event is 4:50.8. Johnson will probably win the valley title and qualify for the state meet. The Viking sprinters are Hamerstadt, Cavanaugh and Jones. Cavanaugh, a sophomore, is a great prospect in the broad jump and sprints. Bob Burgner and Louis Tyrell, seniors, represented Selah in the javelin and high hurdles, respectively. The North Central district relay champions are Hammerstadt, Jones, Cavanaugh and Farley. Farley also captured the district pole vault title. DeVore won the dis- trict half mile title in 2:13. Fred Bergren, Viking high jumper, cleared the bar at 5 ft. 3 in. to place first in the Yakima meet. Racquet Men The 1937 spring season proved to be the best in several years for the Selah Hi racquet wielders. The male net- sters have won victories over Yakima, Ellensburg, Wapato, Cowiche, and tied matches with Sunnyside. The squad consists of Ward and Collition, singles playersg and Eustace, Milne, Ringstad and Zeller are the doubles players. The boys have an excellent chance of producing a valley champion this year. Tom Ward, diminutive senior red-head, employs a blasting drive and smashing service which has carried him to victory over the leading players of the valley. Collition, junior ace, uses a less spectacular, but none the less effec- tive offense, which leading valley netsters have found hard to penetrate.

FRUITSPUR Back Those Who Back You In the following pages will be found the firms who are the friends of Selah High School, and who have proven their friendship in making this 1937 FRUITSPUR a reality. We all know what the FRUITSPUR means to us-a souvenir of our school days. To the advertiser, however, it is a bid for our patronage. To show our just gratitude for this souvenir, it is necessary to give our patronage to these advertisers in preference to all others. Remember, as the years roll by, these firms who cooperated with your enterprises, and in turn fulfill your obligation to this friendship and back those who back you. The G0-Getters 9' The business management wishes to commend the energy and spirit of the Fruitspur advertising crew. Special credit must go to Lois Hoffman and Edith Taylor who displayed considerable skill in getting signatures on the dotted line. Together they wrote over a hundred dollars of the advertising matter. Other members of the crew were Leona Tyrrell, Pauline Engman, Al Kloster, Bill Johnson, and Kevin Shepherd. Gift ef The Class 0f 1937 99 Wishing to make the yearbook a better production for 1937, the senior class selected the Fruitspur as the recipient of its annual gift. ln presenting covers the class of '37 made it possible for more money to be spent on the interior of the annual and in that way improved the whole book. The staff is indeed grateful for the seniors' aid as should be the other members of the student body when they receive their Fruitspur.

SMITH laughed today when shown reports of what was purported to be his attitude toward spitwad shooting and regulation in general. Nothing to it, he declared. Why shouldn't students have their fun? No harm in shooting spitwadsg furthermore something must be done to in- courage originality, and so freedom of action will henceforth be the right of every student. At the same time, Mr. Campbell came out with a new plan for teaching. The present system is out-moded, he told interviewers. The school of next year shall be run on an entirely different basis. Student report cards shall be abolished with pupils grading teachers hereafter. You as students, he added further, know so much more than the teachers that we must take the back seat and give the controls to you. Leslie Schauff pledged himself to abstain from future tall stories. In a ringing voice, he declared that, failing to gain prominence in the National Liars' Club as he so earnestly tried to do, hereafter only truth and veracity should pass his lips. Promising never again to smile coyly or even to wink at a boy, Louise Johnson revealed today her intention to refuse all dates, and to leave her lip rouge and mascara in her bureau drawer. It's so foolish and tiring, this endless running around, she added, that in the future my books will be my only love. The Fruitspur came out several days before school closed, making it possible for everyone to get all the autographs he wished. No staff member could satisfactorily explain this phenomenon. In a surprise move the seniors today buried their hatchet for keeps. Throwing dignity to the winds, the seniors repeatedly praised the wit, charm, and athletic prowess of the next year graduates. You just can't beat these fellows, they all declared vigorouslyg they're such good sports. The juniors just as forcefully pointed out the high pedestal that seniors stand on and how well they deserve it. Speaking for them, John Collition said: They are our superiors. We must recognize this and act accordingly. Henceforth We shall look up in admiration and respect to them. Concluding impressively, he claimed, Our former attitude, which we all know to have been wrong, can be attributed to a feeling of inferiority on our part.

EDITOR. p.,g.,36 FRUITSPUR Mr. Smith Goes to Town The baseball boys were coming home Where are you going? said Copper Mike In T. R. Smitty's car. And speeding down the avenue About thirty-five or more. They came up to the intersection, The green light shone like Marsg Teddy then tromped on the gas And passed up all the cars. He didn't know that in the bunch There was a paddy-wagon, Until it came along the side And cops had started flaggin'. Mr. Smith pulled over quick, And waited for the end, While all the voices of the boys In glee and fun did blend. There lsn't any fire: You want to kill your ball team And make the death rate higher? Then, Flanagan spoke up and said, You're driving like a madman, If your wish is to live a while You'd better drive more slow then. Mr. Smith shrunk in his seat And took the advice in, While his face was crimson red And showed forth much chagrin. Then going home in second gear Doing seven miles an hour, He vowed he never again would get A car with so much power. A Motion Amid the din and hubbub And missiles in the air, President Seibly serenely stands While spitballs part his hair.

T0day9s Detective Story Sleuth Ken Lyons on trail of the Girls' Club missing candy, was dejected. Not a finger print, not a shadow of suspicion on anyone, he muttered to himself as once again he turned and paced along the upper hall. Suddenly he stopped. Had he heard whispering? He gave a quick perusal of the hallg not a soul was in sight. His eyes fell on the balcony door, the voices must have come from there. Quickly he dropped to one knee and peered . through the keyhole. Nothing could be seen. He put his ear to the hole and listened intently. Surely enough, he heard a voice saying: You take that one, I'll take this one-. Trembling with excitement he arose. By golly, they 're dividing up the candy bars! I've got 'em now. He flung open the door and dashed in. His face fell. It was only Betty Gay Purdin and Billy Piestrup dividing Latin translations. 0ld Saws with New Teeth Silence is golden, but who Wants to be one of those idle rich?

Senyorres They strutte, Wythe noses yn the ayre, The juniorres looke at hem and saye, And thynkke they're specymennes quytte rarreg Nexte yearre, we wor1't acte thatte waye, Each daye, oon of hem breakkes a rulle, But whanne vacayonneltyme ys pastte, They're the worste exampells yn the schoole. They're just anouther senyorre classe. Whanne the studye halle ys quyette Yt would be a blesseyng to the schoole.
