THE VERHIAN School History N SEPTEMBER 10th in 1915, County Superintendent Allen called a meeting to organize a union high school in Vernonia. George Trageser was elected chairman of the board and F. E. lklalmsten, clerk. The school board then rented a school room and equipment from Dis- trict No. -1-7. Professor J. P. Claybaugh taught the first two terms of the new school. Ten Sophomores and seven Freshmen enrolled the first term, but five dropped out later and two others changed schools. It was during this first term that our high school piano was bought. At the beginning of the second term 21 students started, but eight of the boys joined the navy during the term. They were Everett Tucker, Omar Sheeley, Glen Sheeley, Gale Stanton, Russell Stanton, Cyril John, Curtis John and Dewey Van Blaricom. Eighteen enrolled for the third term and only one dropped out. It was that term that our V. H. S. put out its first graduating class. hir. J. B. Wilkerson was the principal that year and was elected for a second term, with lyliss Deerwester as his assistant. Twenty-four students entered school the next term under Mr. G. W. Brown and Miss Davis. Lola Brown and Hazel Malmsten were Ver- nonia High's first debating team. The next term C1920-21D 30 students entered school. The high school entered the State Athletic Association and put out its first basketball team. lNfIr. W. W. Kelty was the principal the next year and Miss Marjorie Holaday his assistant. Miss Holaday, now Mrs. Cole, has been teaching in our high school ever since that term. This is her fifth year. The next year the new school building was built. Mr. Kelty and Bliss Holaday were the only teachers at the beginning of the term, but Miss Gleason was added to the faculty at the end of the first semester. The following term C1923-24-J school started with Mr. P. M. Nash, bliss lilarjorie Holaday, Mrs. Mae Beaman and Mr. William Schreiber. Bliss Cecilia Bell was elected as an English teacher at the beginning of the second semester. This was the first year that our girls had played basket- ball, and they won the county championship. The boys, also, did well, and we had two winning debate teams. It was in this year that our first annual was printed. Mr. J. B. VVilkerson was the principal in 1924-25, with Mrs. Cole, Bliss Bell, lVIrs. Beaman and hir. Austin. Mr. Graham came at the middle of the term as our commercial teacher. It was this year that the boys put out a remarkable track team, and the girls, in this, their second year, won the upper Columbia district cham- pionship. This year Mr. Wilkerson was the principal, with the same teachers as last term, except Miss Goodin, who took Mrs. Beaman's place. It has been an eventful year. The boys made a better athletic showing than ever and the girls won the lower Columbia district championship. They have chal- lenged the other high school teams for the state championship. M. S. '26.

We are obliged to go to school in the Grange Hall for at least two months while the High School building is being completed. November 5, 1922--Nine Sophomores attempt to initiate 24 Frosh. May 25, 1923-A whole year has rolled away and we are now Sopho- mores. September 10, 1923--We have lost several members and gained a few, so our number is about the same. September 19, 1923--The class was organized today. lwargaret Smith was elected presidentg Thor Roberts, vice-presidentg Leatha Poynter, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Beaman is our class advisor. October 5, 1923-All this week has been Freshman Week. We have had a jolly time keeping tab on the disobedient. The Frosh entertained the Student Body with an extemporaneous program this afternoon. In the eve- ning we made them step to our time. November 13, 1923--We signed a pledge today. Hereafter we take no French leave. January 29, 1924-We gave ourselves a party.

Then come our Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement-music, flowers and congratulations. Page Sietteen THE VERHIAN Senior Class Prophecy Hopping out of my airplane on the evening of lXCIay 2, 1940, I grabbed my sack of walnuts and rushed into the house. Hurriedly I began to crack the nuts. Imagine my surprise when the first nut I cracked revealed a miniature of our former class president, Charles Hoffman, rapping on his desk in a large classroom. He is a professor of astronomy at O. A. C. That seemed natural, as I remembered that he often studied the stars in his high school days. In the next nutshell I saw Donald Brady, who is now producer of Shakespearian plays. He has certainly modified his opinion of Shakespeare. All the other nutshells showed my former classmates in .various occupa- tions. Lena Gibson is a grand opera singer. Her fame is due to her ability to reach the high notes. She is married to Dale lWcDaniel, and is the high- est authority in her home. Louise Malmsten is her accompanist and often gives recitals with great success. She now has a new chauffeur, having married her former one. Florie Kelso holds the world's record for expert typing. She writes 150 words a minute. I may also add that she has been married three times and is looking for a fourth victim. Lois lilalmsten, who married the owned of New York's most exclusive gown shop, is a famous designer, known as Madame Cherie. lVIildred Bergerson has gone back home to Norway, where she is super- intendent of schools. She has taken a Dane with her. Lygia Burt has distinguished herself as a hiker, having tramped twice across the continent. Thor Roberts is a Presbyterian minister and shudders when he is remind- ed of his high school escapades. Loel Roberts, captain of the All-American football team, has written a book for high school boys, How to Get A's, Though a Football Player. Lawrence Dickson married an heiress, Miss Lona Lott, but he still prac- tices medicine as a side issue. He is an authority on l'VVar. Lola Nance has chosen a political career and has been appointed secre- tary of the interior under the new women's administration. Bernard Dowling is an aviator and travels all over the world selling airplane headlights. His wife, Helmie Kauppi, often accompanies him, and has written a book called, Around the World in an Airplane. Dorothy Rhyne is an attorney and has never lost a case. She always chooses men jurors. I wonder if she vamps them. Lillian Ross has traveled over many seas and is now in the circus with two trained cannibals. . John Laramore is an artist and has acquired fame for his many paint- ings of the Nehalem Valley. K Page Srvmtrfn THE VERHIAN Lauritz Aamodt, our former sergeant-at-arms, is a traffic cop on the busiest street in San Francisco. Jessie George owns a chain of garages along the Atlantic Coast and is considered a master mechanic. Eben John is United States senator from Oregon, a man of few words, whose opinion is highly valued. Margaret Smith has been playing the lead in The Taming of the Shrew for three years. It is rumored that she will next play in the Shakes- pearian play, Romy Owes for What Julie Et. Eva Crowder is a Wall Street financier. She divides her time between the stock ticker and institutions of higher education. Leona Libel and Melvin Mowe are in competition, selling real estate. Leona insists that Florida is the land of peaches and cream, while Melvin insists the same is true of California. Ora Rundell is private secretary to the president of the American Fed- eration of Labor. It is rumored that she will give up her position to become her employers' wife. The last nutshell revealed Ed Martin, who is known as the man who never sleeps. He probably formed that habit while working in the mill nights and attending high school in the daytime. After this enjoyable half-hour, I regretfully turned to my task of cor- recting Spanish papers. LOUISE LESTER '26 Class Poem Though we are going, we'll always remember, ln the many long years beyond, That from V. H. S. was taken an ember, From the warm hearth of friendship so fond.

Leona Libel leaves her smile to those who frown. Mildred Bergerson wills her backward ways to Verva Shields. John Laramore leaves his steadfastness and common sense to Morris Bennett. Jessie George bequeaths her ambitious attitude to Ed Roles. Lena Gibson bestows her knowledge of Roberts' Rules of Order upon her successor, and her extra two feet upon Dale McDaniel.

Dorothy Rhyne bequeaths her ability to crack gum to Helen Heiber. Helmie Kauppi wills her brilliance in English class to Amie Laurie Laird. In witness whereof, we, the undersigned of the May '26 Class of Vernonia High School, acting for the class as a whole, do hereby affix our hands and seals this 21st day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1926.

Soon after the classes were organized. The Sophomores then invited us to the gymnasium, where they proceeded to welcome us into High School by making us feel as uncomfortable as possible. On April 1, we royally entertained the future Freshies at an April Fool's Leap Year party. But the following year we tried to entertain them bet- ter. However, the Juniors did not think things were lively enough at our party, so they turned out the lights and let the Freshmen escape. This only made things more exciting for the Sophomores, who had a lively time round- ing them up again. As Juniors, we have accomplished a great deal. There are more honor students in our class than any other class in school. Theresa Bays and Orlene Counts represent us on the girls' basketball team 3 Dane Brady, Wil- liam Hill, Carl Fowler, Kenneth Whitsell, Glen Hawkins, Louis Laramore and Lynn Burt represent us on the football team, and Glen Hawkins and Kenneth Whitsell are on the boys' basketball team. We have put on a Junior Prom that surpassed any preceding Prom. A. R. W. Page Twznly-:wen 'PHE VERHI,AN Page Twrnly-fighf THE VERHIAN Sophomore History In 1924 our class was fresh from grammar school, and so called Fresh- men. We were initiated and swore for revenge. Mr. Wilkerson, who adopted us, has always a kindly word to say for the lowly. The Sopho- mores surely were pitiless. ln 1925 we became Sophomores and unmercifully avenged our Wrong by a hard initiation for the Freshmen. But a party followed and we buried the hatchet. The class officers for the Sophomore class for the first semester were: President, Clarence Wardleg vice-president, Donald Hodgesg secretary- treasurer, John Wardle. The class officers for the second semester were: President, John YVardleg vice-president, Eva Roles, secretary-treasurer, Harold Olsen. Miss Goodin is our class adviser. Our class has a good athletic record. Girls' basketball: Ida Mae Hawkins, Helen Heiber, Edna Strong, Louise Simmons and Edna Carrick. Football: Donald Hodges, Morris Bennett, Clarence Wardle, John Wardle and Harold Olsen. We expect to have some good material for track. Our class is in for everything that will better our school. We intend to make a snappy class of Juniors, so watch our progress. C. J. W. Pug: Twenty-nin THE VERHIAN Pug!

Q. 1 E I f THE VERHIAN Blood PRIZE WINNING SToRY T WAS after the hour of supper on Friday, the seventh of December, that a little boy came running into the quaint New England town, cry- ing bitterly. Some idlers who were drinking ale at the Blue Lion opened the shut- ters to look into the village orchard, and saw the child running over the snow, apparently disregardful of his destination. They recognized him as the son of the retired sea captain, Eliot Norton, and called from the window, What is the matter ? But still sobbing and shaking with terror, the boy cried that something terrible had happened and destroyed his parents. The men immediately came to attention, for they were very superstitious. One man called Alvin assumed command and gave hurried instructions for departure into the cold night. They soon arrived at the house of horrors, where they discovered a trail of blood leading down to the landing. The trail led to the boat house under the grape arbor, and with further exami- nation it was found that prints of bare feet accompanied the trail of blood! Alvin and his friends made an entrance into the house through a win- dow, for the door was found to be locked. They crept into the living room, which was in great disorder, and listened. The house was as still as death. The only moving thing was a cold draft coming from somewhere below. They crept into the dining room, and, as Thomas reached for the light, the door slammed violently behind them. Alvin swore that he had seen a white figure standing in the doorway, but this he couldn't prove. They glanced at the table in amazement. The bread was half cut and the meat knife was lying on the table. The wine was poured. Everything gave evidence of a very hasty retreat. They looked around the room and in the dim light discovered a picture of a giant ape which the captain had secured on his trip to South America. They did not want to waste time on simple pictures, so they started to examine the other rooms, and to their dismay they found all the doors leading from the dining room locked! Suddenly Alvin crouched and whispered, Get ready, Thomas, there is something moving in the next room. Suddenly a low moan was heard and the lights were switched off. The sweat was coming out on the foreheads of the two men as they waited for the Thing to come. Thomas struck a match, and as it flamed the light shone on the picture. They started in amazement, for the object in the picture had changed in color and was glaring at them with baleful eyes. It was snow white! Or wait! It may have been the fault of the light. A sound as of a soft body brushing against the walls was heard. They struck another match, and again it showed the change in color of the picture. The men made a rush for the door, broke through, and found themselves facing a white, wavering figure. If you are human, stop, or l'll shoot, Alvin cried. The figure kept coming. Bang! Bang! The guns spat fire and lead at it as it hurled itself at the men. Thomas dodged, but not quickly enough, for the clothing was ripped from his shoul- der as if it were made of paper. Page Thirty-thru THE VERHIAN lt rushed at them again, and as they turned to flee, they ran into what seemed to be a cupboard, but was a dumb-waiter, for, as the door slammed behind them, they found themselves sinking. When they walked out of the cupboard they found themselves in a large room, full of evil-smelling odors. Let's get out of this, whispered Thomas. No, we are not through yet, returned Alvin. Helpl A voice cried out faintly. What was that ? whispered Thomas tensely. The switch is over there in the cupboard, the voice said. They turned the lights on and the men beheld the captain and his wife locked up in a large steel cage. They unlocked the cage and administered first aid to them. As the captain revived, he told them of the reason for the unusual circumstances they found them in. You see, the captain began, when I was down in South America I captured a baby gorilla, and have kept him locked up in secret here, for reasons of my own. After long years I accomplished the seemingly impos- sible feat of changing his fur from the natural color to White. You were right,', cried Thomas in wonder. Yes, he continued, 'AI accomplished the change, but now he has grown and is beyond my control. He interrupted us at our meal. I am thankful that there were no casualties. But the bloodll' the men breathed in unison. Oh, the captain laughed, he was very fond of the wine I kept down here, and after he locked us up he carried a case off. CHARLES HOFFMAN '26. Get - Us - Grades Address Four days and several weeks ago, our teachers brought forth upon this school some new report cards, splattered with red ink, and dedicated to the proposition that all students are created block-heads. Now we are engaged in a great endeavor, testing whether our credits or any credits so defected and so deteriorated, can long endure. We are yet in the middle' of an attempt. We have come to dedicate a portion of our intellect, that those credits headed toward their last resting place, may live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, but in a larger sense, we cannot eradicate, we cannot alter these grades, our good teachers, present and past, have established them far above our poor power to add or subtract. The office will little note nor long remember what We say here, but it can never forget what they wrote down. It is for us the flunkers, rather to be retained here for unfinished work which they who flunked have thus so far evadedg it is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these humble grades, we take increased devotion to that cause in which they lost their full measure of excellency. That we hereby highly resolve that these grades shall not have showed in vain, and that this organization of the flunkers, by the flunkers, and for the flunkers shall not perish from this school. LYGIA BURT '26. Page Thirty-four THE VERHIAN Ode to Latin Latin sure was the bunk, l thought last year I would flunk, But Caeser is worse, It sure is a curse, Oh boy! how I hate that junk. Latin I was bad enough, The declensions, etc., were tough, But Caeser is awful, It ought not be lawful, To teach that kind of stuff. When I am done with it all, With Caesar's war in Gaul, It'll be a relief, Too good for belief, If I am still able to crawl. -HAROLD OLSEN '28. Memories When one begins to write a poem, His mind, only natural, begins to roam. He turns back to those good old times, When he hears the High School chimes, He thinks of the school work, and then of the fun Also of sneak day with the wienie and bun. He thinks of football, and also of track, If only he were younger he'd surely go back To enjoy those good old times once more, As he did in those days of yore. -DUDLEY SPENCER '27 The Curfew Along the poorly lighted street Sneaks little Donald Hodges, Avoiding Kelly's well-known beat, At every sound he dodges. Nine o'clock has long since past, Hence his guilty stealth. His heart is beating much too fast, For little Donald's health. The siren had shrieked its awful cry For all to be in bed, But Donald heaved a wistful sigh, And shot some pool instead. He feels as does a hunted beast, And knows the curse of fear. He'll be in bed by nine at least, For many and many a year. -HAROLD OLsEN '28. Pug: Thirty-five THE VERIiIAN The Unaccommodating Timekeeper HAT UNACCORIIWODATING PERSON who greets you when you arrive in the logging camp and shakes your hand on departure is the timekeeper. Financially speaking, he represents the beginning and end of your visit with the outfit he represents. When you hike back to camp without a red copper in your pocket, he sells you tobacco and sox on credit. When you've got ,er made he makes a green slip of paper look like the United Statesltreasury to you, and sends you rejoicing. It will pay you to study the timekeeper carefully. His fountain pen is filled with potential wealth. Most timekeepers are young men. The only reason we can see for this fact is that their work usually kills 'm off pretty young. The few old ones you do happen to run across are usually deaf. Then, again, you can recog- nize a timekeeper anywhere by that worried look common to his species. A breath of melancholy surrounds them like a chill and sudden gust from some unknown sea. However, a good timekeeper must have close-fitting ears, behind which he parks his pens, pencils, or chewing gum. Indelible stains on the fingers and the lips are other unfailing brands of the profession. A timekeeper's good nature rises and falls like mercury in changeable weather. The best time to do business with one is on or around the fifteenth of the month. Following that period of tranquility, the grim shadow, cast by the approaching horror of balancing the monthly payroll, grows blacker every day. As the last of the month grows near, his temper grows short and his whiskers long. During those desperate days the office lights consume the midnight oil. The timekeeper buries himself beneath a stack of payroll sheets, cookhouse reports, inventories and station gang statements. If either circumstance or the woods boss, which often are one and the same, compels you to draw your time during this season of travail, speak gently to the timekeeper or be prepared to duck ink-wells and chairs. Lean politely over the counter and in a mild voice say, Necessity requires me to sever my con- nections with the Rock Creek Logging Company, Mr. Blank, and I should like to be reimbursed for my services as soon as convenient. At any other time just kick open the door and yell, Mix me up a walk, kid, and make 'er snappy. Pug: Thirty-:ix THE VERHIAN Timekeeping is often referred to as a white collar job, because the timekeeper is about the only man on the job who can wear a collar if he wants to. As a rule, most logging camp pencil-shovers wear no man's collar and their own only on Saturday night. A choker-setter or chaser regards the timekeeper as one of the lowest forms of human life, that is, until the bight of the haulback caves in a couple of ribs and the boys pack him into the office on a stretcher. Then the timekeeper and his first-aid kit looks like a doctor, a nurse, and an angel, all rolled into one. All loggers are supposed to believe the timekeepers are hired for no other purpose than to swindle the men out of all they possibly can in a month's time. Therefore, if, on pay-day you find your check a little shy, you want to yell, snarl and tear down the office. If, on the other hand, the time- keeper has forgotten to charge your new shoes on your account, say noth- ing, stick your check in your pocket and tip-toe softly out the office door. This is customary. A timekeeper must know at least three-quarters of the contents of the Encyclopedia Brittannica and have a working knowledge of the rest. He must be familiar with all laws, especially divorce, prohibition and gravita- tion. He must know thoroughly when to prescribe C. C. pills and when to prescribe iodine. He must know whether to use gear grease or kerosene to soothe an aching tooth. He is the camp mail clerk. He must be able to tell you, without a moment's hesitation, the amount of postage required to send a crate of kisses to Deep River. The camp store,ithe pioneer of Oregon days, is in his care. When Ole, who yust popped in from Sweden, wants to write to Sears Sc Roebuck, he has the timekeeper take his dictation. Because of his bottomless store of knowledge, he is often called upon to settle bunk-house squabbles. There- fore he must know whether it it cheaper to paper a room with wallpaper or German marks, and why. The eight-hour day, as far as the timekeeper is concerned, is a gigantic piece of irony. He usually rolls out on the cold, lath-splintered office floor at 5:30, in answer to a vicious pounding at the door. Some husky, half- awake logger wants a pair of sox, and another long, lanky juice of Sweden Wants his mail. What is your name ? asks the poor boy. My name is on the letter, you ought to knowf' The timekeeper has one foot in bed when another early bird wants a two-cent stamp. Sleep by this time is an impossibility. The regular routine Pagz Thirty-rzvln THE V1-:RHIAN of the day sets in. The cook runs short of meatg the bull-cook howls for wood, and the head office wants the daily reports, now two days late. That night the timekeeper sits up until 11:30 with a sick payroll that refuses to balance and at last drops exhausted in bed with the worries of half the world on his shoulders. At 11:36 the phone rings. 'lW5lC7ii7 l? A worried female voice responds to his sleepy Hell-O. Camp Three ? Yes-s. fl Will you please tell Mr. Early that the baby has the colic again and can he come home right away? With a mumbled threat he cranks up the speeder and runs down the zig-zag trail seven miles through a blinding rain to take Early to the scene of the colic. It is past midnight when he gets back to camp. He hangs his dripping clothes over the cold stove. He builds a fire, and just as he takes a step toward bed he hears a knock at the door. The night baker has lost his key to the store room, and wants a sack of pastry flour and a gallon of root beer extract. The timekeeper, now on the verge of collapse, fumbles around in the soggy pockets of his wet trousers for the missing key and sends the baker through the rain with many kind words unsaid-because often he is a good baker. The next attempt to retire is actually reached and just then a tap on the window! A Choker-setter with a toothache! A great black cloud blots out the painted, swollen face at the window and through the darkness comes the twittering of little birds and the tinkle of cowbells. See the pretty flour and the silvery extract among the trees! After the boy falls back on his bed unconscious, the logger with the ach- ing tooth returns to his shack, showering curses upon the head of the pencil- pusher and his soft job. MELVIN MOWE '26. Pug: Thirty-:ight THE VERHIAN The Queen of Hearts T WAS St. Valentine's Day and Jack Nelson was getting ready to go to a masquerade party. Very happy at the thought of the pleasure he was going to have, he donned his costume. This costume, a Jack of Hearts, was indeed appropriate because it was a well-known fact among his friends that Jack fell in love with every girl who happened to smile at him. Promptly at seven-thirty, he climbed into his flashy roadster and drove three miles to the party. Being one of the first to arrive, Jack was elected chairman of the re- ception committee. At eight o'clock a large limosine drove up to the door, and a young lady, dressed as the Queen of Hearts, stepped out. Jack Nelson met her at the door and at her pleasant smile became her slave. He took her dance program and wrote his name downfor the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh and the two extras. The dancing began at nine olclock. All went so well with Jack and the young lady that during the seventh dance he found himself out on the side porch with her. Jack began the conversation by saying, Lovely costume you are wearing and very appropriate too. She answered with a polite, Thank you, and then there was a long pause. Finally Jack got up courgae enough to say, Won't you please tell me your name? You may call me Queen, she sweetly replied. Queen's next partner came -to claim her and Jack was left alone, a very puzzled boy. At eleven o'clock, every one unmasked and had refreshments. Jack absolutely lost his heart as he gazed at the beautfiul face of the Queen of Hearts. The party broke up at eleven-thirty and Jack asked to take Queen home. As they drove slowly away, Jack slipped his arm around her. She did not seem to notice it. .About half way home, Jack stopped the car under a big, low-branched tree. The young man turned to his partner of the evening and again asked her name. She refused to give any other than Queen, Jack leaned over and kissed her cheek. She, in return, slapped his face and told him to drive on. There was a silence the rest of the way home. When they arrived he assisted her to alight. Then his castle-in-the-air fell. The Queen of Hearts removed her wig and Jack's best friend, Harry Durriel, stood before him. Lois MALMSTEN, '26. Page Thirty-mn!

The sideshows were more interesting than ever beforeg and down in the gym hot-dogs, ice-cream, soda-pop, home- made candy, pie, cake and coffee brought in the nickels. Page Forty-on THE VERHIAN S o c i e t y FRESHNIAN INITIATION On September 26, after a week of cold feet, the Frosh were accepted as an essential part of V. H. S. On that fatal night about seven-thirty, the fun began with some of the boys rolling chalk with their noses the entire length of the gym floor. Then a few of the girls were given an aeroplane ride and two girls, blind-folded, tried to feed each other. As the final prank, all the tender-hearted freshies were requestd to take off their shoes, these were mixed up and then the frightened owners made a mad scramble, each trying to find his shoes. Then delicious cake, sandwiches, and ice-cream were served with punch. After the refreshments, the president of the Sophomore class, Clarence Wardle, spoke for a few minutes welcoming the Freshmen, and then the President of the Freshman class, Betty Culver, gave a speech in appreciation. FRESHMAN PARTY Friday evening, February 19, the Frosh gave themselves a party. It was quite a success. The Freshies, like all babes, played some,-ate much,- grew sleepy, and went home. ST. HELENS FEED After the double-header on February 6, the teams gathered at the reception room of the Evangelical Church where they were served with cake, hot chocolate and sandwiches. After the feed, games were played, and everyone had a really good time.

MISS BELL GIVES BASKET BALL GIRLS A FEED llliss Bell entertained the first team girls, three subs and the Coach, Miss Goodin, with a feed on the evening of St. Patrick's Day, March 17. Caps and little favors were given to each one and little Irish digestion pills, which were slips of paper on which jokes were written, furnished plenty of fun and laughter. Miss Bell proved herself a real hostess when she served the feed -ham sandwiches, potatoe salad, pickles, chocolate and white cake with green icing, green fruit jello topped with whippd cream, and green after-dinner mints. JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom, which took place on April 23, was the most successful social even of the season. Invitations were extended to the entire faculty, seniors, a few sophomores, the alumni of the last two years, and Mr. and Mrs. Lindley and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hughes, who acted as patrons. The gym was beautifully decorated in silver and orchid, the senior colors. In one corner of the gym stood a booth also decorated in the senior's colors. Punch was served throughout the evening at the booth. From the platform, where the Revelers, the orchestra, demonstrated their stuff, were the senior's colors flying gaily. About eight o'clock dancing began and with such good music it was impossible to keep one's feet still. At intervals the dancers were entertained with musical numbers. At eleven o'clock delicious refreshments were served, and then dancing was continued. The Junior Prom was not only the most successful event of the season, but it was the most successful event that has been staged in Vernonia High. Page Forty-that THE YTERHIAN On New Year's Eve the Lettermens' Club gave a dance in the gym. Each letterman invited a girl. They danced by radio-music until eleven o'clock, when refreshments were served. On lllarch 26 a dance was given by the Juniors and Seniors for the benefit of the annual.

It is no laughing matter, this job of writing jokes. If we publish ex- changes, we are too lazy to think. If we don't, the jokes are no good. If all this stuff makes you laugh, it is too silly. If we get serious anywhere in the section, we are trying to preach and have an ulterior motive. If the joke is on you, the staff has it in for you, and if your name doesn't appear, you are being slighted. Anyhow, when the annual is published the jokes will be old and you won't think them funny. If, after reading this, you desire to keep on reading, bear in mind that the editor will not be respon- sible for any cases of hysterics nor suppressed complexes that may result. The annual is a queer invention, The high school gets the fame, The printers get the money, And the editors get the blame. Miss Bell: The Charleston reminds me of a character of Dicken's.

In 18 games the girls have scored 448 points to their opponents' 145. They have held the championship of Co- lumbia County for three years, and that of the Lower Columbia District for two years. PERSONNEL OF THE TEAM Mildred CMi1lyJ Bergerson is our high point forward and she always amazes her opponents by her ability to toss the ball into the basket. She will not be with us next year. Lola QBlondiej Nance plays a fast game and enables lXIillie to make a great many baskets besides making a number of them herself. Her place will have to be filled by some one else next year, as she is a Senior. Lena CBeaniel Gibson is our old standby.' Other teams may have good centers but they can't get the tip off from our Beanie. She graduates this year. Lygia CDedeJ Burt was a new addition to our team this year and we often wonder what Forest Grove High School did without her. She gradu- ates this year. Thersa CTissyQ Bays puts her whole self into a game and therefore makes it almost impossible for her opponent to make a basket. Orlene QCheneyJ Counts plays very fast and guards with her whole strength. It is seldom that her opponent makes a basket. Ida lWay Hawkins, Della Cline, and Helen Heiber practiced faithfully as substitutes and we are sure they will be on the team next year.

COACH AUSTIN Football Football was started in earnest at the beginning of school. There were thirty men who answered the first call of Coach Austin. Seven lettermen returned and around these Mr. Austin began the task of forming a team. The first two weeks were spent in drilling the beginners in the fundamentals of the game. Next came the task of fitting the Rookies into the places left vacant by the men who graduated the year before. After the new men were fitted into the regular lineup, Coach Austin spent much time in drilling the boys on new formations and teaching them the finer points of the game. The boys worked hard because they were to play their first game with the Alumni on September the nineteenth. Although the boys lost, they made a good showing and the way they executed their plays pleased everyone. The team showed that they possessed the fight and with a little more training they would be ready for their regular schedule. VVith the aid of a strong second team the regulars soon perfected a strong offensive and defensive which put them in shape for their first regular game September twenty-sixth. Pagz Fijly-.fix H Ii Y li R Ima' lrjzy ffafn FIRST TEAM THE VERHIAN Team Personnel Captain Loel Roberts played his last year for V. H. S. at quarter. Loel was a fast man and a good field general. Thor Roberts was a steady man at half this season. His speed featured in many of our touchdowns. This is Thor's last year. Morris Bennett was another that could be depended on at half. He was a consistent ground gainer. lVIorris has two more years with us. Lynn Burt played fullback this season. He was a speedy man and a hard tackler. Lynn will be here again next year. Kenneth Whitsell was a reliable man at end. He never allowed large gains around his end. Kenneth has one more year. Dane Brady played a sterling game at end. Receiving passes was a pas- time to him. Dane has another year. Carl Fowler played his second year at tackle. He was a good defensive man. We have him again next year. Alfred Cummings played his first year at guard. Although a new man, he showed up Well. Alfred has three more years. Glen Hawkins played a steady game at center. Tackling opponents for a loss was his delight. He has another year. Buster Hodges finished this season in fine shape at end. He was out some on account of injuries. Buster has two more years with V. H. William Hill was the heavy weight of the team. VVe are all expecting much of him next year. Lewis Laramore, although not a regular, was a hard man to get past at the guard position. He has another year. ' Clarence Wardle was another of our reliables in the back field. He has two more years with us. Page Fifty-:ight THE VERHIAN Pay lfljly- SECOND TEAM THE wTERHIAN Second Team The turnout for the second team was unusually large this year and there were always enough players to form a complete team on practice nights. The scrubs were invaluable in whipping the first team into shape for its games. The second team played only two games this year. They were victorious in each case. Backfield-Morris Bennett, Charles Hoffman, Russel Mills, Alfred Cummings, Dudley Spencer, lVlarshall Malmsten, and Clarence Wardle. Line-Dick Healy, Raymond Dickson, Donald Hodges, Harold Olsen, Lawrence Dickson, Lewis Laramore, Robert Whitsell and Lee Davis. GAMES Vernonia 12 St. Helens 0 This was the first game of the season for the second team. They expected a fierce struggle so they went into the game full of fight, and the St. Helens line melted like snow before their fierce onslaught. A touchdown was made in the first of the second quarter and one followed a few minutes afterwards. The rest of the game was evenly matched because St. Helens came back full of pep in the second half. Vernonia 19 St. Helens 6 The second game with St. Helens was very exciting, although the score was quite uneven. The field was covered with mud and water. VVardle received a fumble and sprinted thirty yards for a touchdown. The try for goal was unsuccessful . St. Helens rallied, and made a touchdown but failed to convert. ln the second half Mills received a pass from Hoff- man, and made a sensational dash through a broken field for the second touchdown, with Hodges running good interference. Wardle made the last touchdown by an end run. Pug: Sixty THE VERHIAN Season Summary The first regular game of the season was played on the V. H. S. gridiron with St. Helens on September 16. The game was hard fought but our team was out-weighed and St. Helens won: 13-0. On October 3, the team journeyed to Warrenton where they met and were defeated by Warrenton. The score was 13-0. The team went to Forest Grove October 10, and was defeated by the High School Team 24-0. Forest Grove's weight and experience figured in their winning. Vernonia defeats seemed to have taken the fight out of the team because on October 17 they met and were defeated by the Rainier Hi 44-0. This was our worst defeat. Rainier played stellar ball throughout the game. Knappa came to Vernonia on October 24 to play Vernonia Hi. The team went into the games full of fight and determined to get revenge. Vernonia played fast, hard ball and won 35-0. Knappa never threatened our goal once. The return game was played at Knappa November 7. The Knappa team, strengthened by the addition of some new men, put up a stiff fight. Ver- nonia was only able to put over the deciding touchdown in the last minutes of play. The score: Vernonia 13-Knappa 7. On Armistice Day Vernonia met Warrenton on the local gridiron. Ver- nonia, backed by a large group of rooters and fans, went into the game con- fident of winning. The teams were about evenly matched and each battled hard thruout the game, but Vernonia won. The score was 6-O. The last game of the season was played on Thanksgiving Day with Clats- kanie. The playing field was a sea of Water and mud and neither team could make much headway. Clatskanie threatened the Vernonia goal twice but they lacked the needed punch. The game ended in a tiep score 0-0 . Pap Sixty-ont THE VERHIAN Yau. LEADER TJICKSON Basketball and Practices Basketball season opened in November and started with a bang. Coach Austin had three lettermen back and around these he hoped to build a cham- pionship team. The team practiced hard during the Christmas holidays and played several practice games, all of which they won. The Coach saw great things ahead for his team because the team functioned so perfectly. They finished the holiday practices in good shape and prepared to meet Clats- kanie in the first league game on January 8. Just five days before this big game old Mother Fate stepped in and claimed Loel Roberts, our star forward. His injuries were so serious that he was forced to retire for the rest of the season. This was a serious blow, because it greatly weakened the team. The team fought bravely but they never did overcome their loss. To add to our grief Kenneth Whitsell severely sprained his ankle and was never able to play a full game afterwards. Buster Hodges and Morris Bennett were also laid' up on account of sickness. With four lettermen returning next year we expect to turn out a pennant team. Page Sixty-two THE VERHIAN T. ROBERTS, F. L. ROBERTS, F. BENNET, G WHITSJELL, S. HAWKINS, C. Honcas, G. HOFFMAN, S. Pug: Sixty-thff: THE VERHIAN Basketball Thor Roberts and Charles Hoffman will be missed when basketball season starts next year, as we lose them at graduation time. Both Roberts and Hoffman took part in all of our games. It was the superior basket shooting that kept the team in the running this year. Although Hoffman did not do so well at basket shooting, he was a good man and played a hard, defensive game. Out of eleven games played the team won six. Al- though our team didn't win the championship, we think they made a good showing. The games, played by the boys, were full of action from the start to finish. We are proud of the fact, that the team played fast, clean ball. The team never allowed their opponents to run up a large scoreg many of the games were decided by one point or two baskets. The five games lost were won by St. Helens, Clatskanie and Rainier. St. Helens and Clatskanie each won two games and Rainier one. Both St. Helens games were decided by one point. - Points Games Personals Glen Hawkins 100 11 10 Thor Roberts 74 11 9 Morris Bennett 37 9M 8 Kenneth VVhitsel1 26 7M 11 Charles Hoffman 13 6M 5 Donald Hodges 1 SM 14 Total opponents 179 Team 251 Page Sixty-four HIE VERH1 Page Sixty-fivr TRACK SQUAD THE VERHIAN Track Our school should be proud of the showing that the track team made last year. Although a small school, the boys selected for our team carried away second honors in the district meet, which was held here on May second. The team far out-classed anything in Clatsop County and won the right to compete in the Northwest Meet, held at Forest Grove. The Forest Grove Meet was held among the winners of Oregon and S. W. Washington. Ray Mills placed in the broad jump and pole vault. Ray also carried away the highest individual honors in the district meet held in Vernonia. Loel Heiber, Loel Roberts, Thor Roberts and Carl Fowler deserve honor- able mention for each won high honors in their events at the District Meet. The Seniors won the relay last year in the inter-class races, and captured the pennant which was given by the student body. In the entire inter-class meet the honors were carried away by the Seniors and Sophomores. Exhibi- tions of good track work were displayed by each team. Since so many are turning out for track this spring much keener competition is expected. In the paper chase, run March 18, this spring, the Juniors were the victors. The race was run over a two-mile course and the winners Were forced to show some real track ability in order to capture the race from such a large field of entrants. The inter-class meet was held in April this year. Much in- terest was shown, and the boys worked hard.
