THE 1930 VERHIAN PUBLISHED BY ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF VERNONIA HIGH VOL. VI NEAL W. BUSH. Editor CATHERINE HOFFMAN. Manager Dedication The students of Vernonia High School do sincerely dedicate the 1930 Verhian to the business men and industrial workers of Vernonia, who have helped make possible the publication of this book. Pags Two Foreword MEMORIES of friends, scenes, experiences all pass away, but these memories shall never pass away. We have tried to picture your dearest memories in this tangible form. As these pictures move before you, clasp the hands of your friends, see these scenes again, live these experiences, and be ever true to the spirit of Vernonia. If through this moving picture of Vernonia life we preserve for you the memories of your High School days, memories of that intangible something termed “Vernonia Spirit” that inspires you and thrills you, then, and only then, will our purpose be accomplished. Page Three Life Just a little bit of sunshine Coming with the rain, Just a little bit of laughter Makes life worth while again. Don’t pine and fret the whole day thru; Your troubles are not new. So just a little friendship Along the path of life; Just smile and sing; A handshake give To ease the weary strife. —Dorothy Bai.com. Pa Pout PRINCIPAL J. B. WILKERSON To the Seniors During the four years you have spent in high school, you have sometimes grown tired of school and have longed for the time to come when you could have more freedom. Even within the last few weeks, you have wished that you could get away from the restraint of every-day routine. But, now that the year is drawing so near to a close, I know that there is a pang of sadness in your hearts at the thought of parting. . . . You are living in a wonderful age, the age ol youth; what a blessing it is to be a part of such an age. provided, in this youthful environment, you do not forget the moral and religious training of your childhood days. “Life is real; life is earnest’’; and in this, my message to you, I would not attempt to give it any false coloring. There will be clouds along the way, and some of your ideal castles will tumble before the cruel winds of life’s realities; but there will be sunshine, too, as surely as the love of your friends exists. As a last thought, it is not so much what you get out of life that counts, but rather what you do with your life. .SEPTEMBER 3—SCHOOL OPENED FOR REGISTRATION Page Five The Faculty MR. II.

SEPTEMBER 19—FIRST CALL FOR FOOTBALL Page Eight Senior Class History IN 1926, forty-six Freshmen, as shy and green as any Freshmen ever were, entered Vernonia High. After torturing us for a week, the Sophomores gave us a party and made us feel like real high school students. During the first year we had five honor pupils, Marjorie Kelly, Violet Phelps, Phoebe Greenman, Catherine Hoffman, and Alberta De Rock. Miss Goodin was chosen class advisor. In 1927 we became Sophs and sought revenge for our Freshman initiation In-harrying the new Freshmen. The following were on the honor roll: Mildred Tousley, Violet Phelps. Dwight Strong, Bill Culver, Alberta De Rock, Catherine Hoffman, Dorothy Holtham, and Marjorie Kelly. Our class advisor was Miss Hazel Malmsten. In ’28 and ’29 we played an active part in the school activities. Glen llieber was student body treasurer, and Catherine Hoffman was vice-president. Our girls took part in both basketball and volley ball. Neal Bush, Bill Culver, Howard Lee, and Bodie Hieber gave us our reputation in athletics. Our honor students that year were Catherine Hoffman, Norma Anderson, Bill Culver, Alberta De Rock, and Mildred Tousley. On March 29, we presented our play, “In Cherry l ime.” Our prom was given soon after and proved a great success. In 1930 we merged into dignified Seniors and bore our burdens faithfully. Neal Bush was our student body president, and Catherine Hoffman, our treasurer. Tord Berg, Neal Bush, and Glen llieber represented us in basketball. Our football players were Glen Hieber, l ord Berg, Bill Culver, and Neal Bush. The Senior boys of this year won the inter-class basketball championship. Our list of honor students is still a long one: Catherine I loffman, Violet Phelps, Dorothy Holtham, Mildred Tousley, Alberta De Rock, and Zelma New. The Senior play, “Anne What’s Fler Name,” which was presented in April, was one of the most successful and attractive events in our high school life. It w'as coached by Mr. Austin, our advisor. —Alice Dubendorf, SEPTEMBER 20— FIRST STUDEN I BODY MEETING Pagt Sint Glen ood Hieber armony Class President. 2-4; Student Body Treasurer, 3; Class Plays. 3-4; Carnival Play. 4: Basketball. 3-4; Football. 3-4; Track. 2-3-4; Carnival Manager, 4; Annual Staff. 2-3; Chief of Fire Squad, 4.

What a lot that one word means. Consummation of four years of work and dreams, hour years filled with struggles, hopes, and failures, too, Four years of looking forward With a will to dare and do. Graduation! It means much to parents, too, Justification of their faith in me and you. They stood behind us always, loyal, steadfast, true! And we’ll share with them the credit; They deserve it as their due. Graduation! Joy, it thrills us to the core; Exultation in achievement of the things we worked so for. And the pri;e is worth the effort, for we have reached the goal, And the satisfaction gained therefrom Goes deep into the soul. Graduation! It will be in years to come A foundation to base our very lives upon, And we shall keep on—nobly, tho our high school days are done, For graduation is commencement, And our work has just begun. —Dorothy Carmichael.

NOVEMBER 8—SCHOOL PROGRAM Pag Fiji n The Trail PETER gazed from the door of his hut on the hillside upon the green valley below basking in rays of golden sunshine. “Well, Boy,” he said to the large brown and white collie by his side, “it’s been four wonderful weeks; hasn’t it? And just think, two months more!” Boy wagged his tail and looked up adoringly at his master. Peter was a tall, straight man of about twenty. 11 is skin was a healthy tan; his eyes, deep and clear. 1 le was dressed in light hiking clothes and his black curly hair was covered by a tan felt hat. l ie always talked to Boy as if he were a person, and the collie seemed to understand him. The two had left the town, which was filled with hot, tired people, to spend their vacation on God’s glorious hills. As they explored the territory about them, it was Boy’s great delight to dash ahead of his master after some straying rabbit and then to come running back to rub his nose in Peter’s hand to let him know that he would not go far. This morning, however, Peter had a different plan in mind. He would take food enough to last Boy and him for several days and follow the trail that led from the old mine shaft far down in an uninhabited valley on the other side of the mountain. It was to be very exciting and very different from anything which they had done before. They would not return to the cabin for, perhaps, a week. Boy sensed the excitement in the air and followed Peter from place to place so that he would not miss anything. The lunch was put into packs and the smaller pack was strapped onto Boy’s back. Peter carried the other, and the several blankets which they were to sleep on. Peter fastened the revolver which his uncle had given him securely by his side, and when all was ready, “To the old mine. Boy,” he said, and Boy, with a yelp of delight, started off. It did not take them lung, for they had been there often and had worn down a fairly good path. When they reached the mine. Boy stopped and waited for Peter to catch up with him. They stood there together gazing down upon the desolate valley below. “Pretty lonely looking, isn't it, Boy?” said Peter. In another instant they had plunged down the difficult, rocky trail. They traveled on for several hours, stopping now and then to rest or to take a sip of water to quench their craving thirst. The sun seemed unusually warm that morning. Beads of perspiration stood out upon Peter’s forehead, and Boy let his tongue swing out of his mouth. Once when they had walked for several miles without seeing even a tiny brook, they rounded a corner and heard the grateful gurgling of water upon the rocks. It did not take them long to cover the few hundred feet between them and the stream, and soon they were drinking as much of the cool water as they dared. Peter, throwing back his curly locks, spoke to the dog, which was panting by his side. “Well, Boy, how does it seem to stop once more? Pretty much tuckered out, aren’t you? But it’s worth it down here. I'd walk across the United States to see this, the water splashing over the rocks, the sun a beautiful golden ball throwing its rays on every object no matter how small, and then just enough breeze to make the trees seem alive. It’s a beautiful sight, Boy. I’m glad we’ve found it.” NOVEMBER II—ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM Pagt Sixtrsn They lay there a while longer, drinking in the scene, before Peter, with a “We’d better get going, Boy, or it’ll be sundown before we cover half the trail, rose to his feet and once more adjusted their packs and set out down the trail with a whistle on his lips. Boy, as they continued on. began to act strangely, sniffing and growling. Peter was puzzled, so he decided to investigate. The trail at this point ran down by the water, and the ground was reasonably soft. After a few minutes of observation, Peter found what he was looking for, fresh tracks made by a bear. At this instant Boy gave another low, throaty growl. “Quiet, Boy, quiet,” whispered Peter. “There’s something near here, and it looks as if we might be intruding.” With that, Peter took out his revolver, examined it to be sure that it was loaded, took off their packs and hid them in the bushes. Then he and Boy crept slowly down the trail. Peter was stooped over so that his head would not show above the underbrush among the trees, lie heard Boy give a vicious growl and saw him start for the bushes behind him. I le turned just in time to sec a large bear ready to strike him with his great paw. but Boy grabbed the furry foot nearest him. making the bear forget Peter and start for Boy. Peter immediately began emptying his revolver into the bear, but it was with difficulty, for Boy was constantly in the way. Peter shot the last shell from his revolver, and at the same time. Boy crumpled up. The bear was a mother fighting for her young, but she would fight no more. “Boy! Boy! Oh, what have I done?” cried agonized Peter, throwing himself beside the dog. Boy gave a low whine and weakly thumped his tail. Examination proved that a bullet had entered the dog’s right tore leg. Peter tore up his shirt, and bandaged the wound, saying as he did so, “Boy, you saved my life. Now its my turn to help you.” Boy licked Peter’s hand and then closed his eyes. It took several weeks of careful nursing before Boy was able to use his leg again. When he was, the two campers returned to the cabin on the hill. At the end of the three months’ vacation, Peter stood in the doorway of his hut gazing down into the valley. “Well, Boy,” he said, “our vacation is over this year, but next year we’ll come back and go down to camp again by our stream, but we’ll be more careful of bears; won’t we?” Boy answered with an affirmative wag of his long, graceful tail. —Charlotte Green. The End NOVEMBER 18—ANNUAL PICTURES TAKEN Pag 1 Srz'tnHfn GRACE CONDIT. Prrtidtnl Junior Class History WITH twenty-eight anxious and eager heads, the Junior Class stepped into the role of responsibility and pride September 3, 1929. which today’s seniors vacated May 17, 1929. The Juniors have endeavored to reach the high step in the ladder of scholarship, and they have been encouraged and inspired by their respected and able class advisor and principal, Mr. J. B. Wiikerson. Marking the custom of the preceding Juniors, they have put on the play, “Climbing Roses,” the cast consisting of talented pupils who took their parts well. As their contribution to the program for the annual high school carnival, they gave a one-act play entitled “The T resting Place.” To recall their golden rule days, many will have their rings. They have greatly aided in making the “Timber Line” an enjoyable part of their local newspaper. It is with pride that they point out the fact that one of their members is the assistant editor. Six of the boys in the class have taken active parts in football and have won their letters. Two have been on the basketball team. They have gone through trials, difficult studies, and scoldings together, but these have served not as a gulf to separate them, but as a link to bind them and their teachers the more closely together in friendship. —Inez Allman. Spring Now the misty clouds have lifted, And the sun is shining bright. Where the •winter snows were drifted, Flowers are peeping to the light. Everywhere the birds are singing; Everywhere the bees are humming. Thoughts of springtime they are bringing; Many happy days are coming. —Dwight Strong.

DECEMBER 20—ALLMNI VISITED SCHOOL Page Nineteen Sophomore Class History SEPTEMBER 3, 1928, seventy - eight Ereshmen entered high. We were the largest class that had ever enrolled at V. H. S. We elected the following officers at our first meeting: Ben Spencer, president; Kathryn Malm-sten, vice-president; La Vern Adams, secretary-treasurer: Jack Christiansen, sergeant-at-arms; Miss Hazel Malmsten, class advisor. We were initiated by the Sophomore Class, in regular form, and then left to do as we pleased. This year we retaliated by giving the Freshmen a rousing welcome to V. II. S. After making them miserable for two days, we gave them a party at the high school gym. There were not so many students to choose our class officers from this year— only fifty-eight—but we managed to fill the offices as follows: President, George Laird; vice-president, Marvel Graven; secretary-treasurer, Ben Spencer; sergeant-at-arms, Ralph George; class advisor, Miss Vera Grail. The Sophomore Class is there with the goods when it comes to the matter of athletics. Marvel Graven, Oscar Sorlee, Ralph George and Jack Christiansen turned out for football and upheld our reputation on the gridiron. Ralph George is an excellent man on the basketball team and he has done his part in helping to win our many victories. We, the Sophomore Class, are all rooters for old V. I I. S. and we are looking forward to bigger and better times as Juniors of ’31. GEORGE LAIRD. Prnident “When first we entered high school, We were green and bard to bluff.

JANUARY 3—WON BASKETBALL GAME l-ROM CLATSKAME Fngr Twenty-four ACTIVITIES Society News 'T'llE initiation week for the Freshmen was endured this year with several minor x wounds to the Freshmen’s newly-acquired dignity, but with no serious results. At the end of the week the Sophomores gave a good-will party in honor of the Freshmen, after which the new classmen were considered members of the High School student body. Although they are still Freshmen, they have begun a lasting friendship with the other students. QNF of the cleverest social functions of the year was the High School carnival given at the Nigh School auditorium November 8. Booths of many styles of architecture were constructed in the places most likely to attract the largest number of buyers. The fish pond, for the first time, did not run dry before the fishermen ceased coming. The side shows proved very alluring and the fortune teller’s booth attracted a long line of hopeful believers. The affair proved a huge success, and a large number of patrons, as well as members of the High School, enjoyed the gala event. 'T'llE Girls’ Athletic Club observed St. Valentine’s Day by entertaining the girls 1 of the High School at a Valentine party, given in the High School gymnasium. The gay and strangely garbed throng played many games suitable to the occasion and greatly enjoyed the delicious refreshments that were served later in the evening. yjISS CHARLOTTE GREEN opened the doors of her home to the Senior Class 1 on the evening of Washington’s Birthday. Dancing and cards were enjoyed bv a large number of Seniors and Mr. and Mrs. Levi Austin until a late hour, when dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. A VERY successful Junior Prom, sponsored by the class of ’31, was given May 13. Excellent music and a smooth floor allowed perfect dancing, which continued until 11 o’clock. Appropriate refreshments were then served, and the tired but happy participants turned homeward. ' FI IE SENIORS astounded the faculty and the rest of the students by appearing 1 at school Wednesday, February 26, in any costumes they could beg, borrow, or steal. The strange costumes that appeared were a source of amusement to everyone and after luncheon snapshots were taken, lest in some future year the Seniors should forget just how each member of the class was dressed. T'llE first spring carnival ever sponsored by the High School student body was given in April and proved as great a success as the one given earlier in the school term. The carnival featured a May Day performance with many novel ideas. The student body elected Miss Charlotte Green, May Queen, and Misses Violet Phelps and Alberta De Rock, attendants. The program was arranged by Mrs. Hammack and Miss Gehring. The carnival was well attended and the money that was taken in was applied on the Annual fund.

It was a three-act comedy so full of mystery that the audience was held in suspense until the tangle was finally unravelled in the last scene of the third act. When handsome Tony Wheat told Anzizi, his Spanish dancer, that he was in love with another girl, she threatened to kill herself. She pulled a little publicity stunt by leaving a note saying “Good-bye forever.” I ony, fearing arrest, went disguised as Ebenezer Whittle to stay in the home of Judge Bunby. He married a masked girl; and soon after, the real Ebenezer turned up. I hen Anzizi was found, and other interesting things began to happen.

TIIE BOYS’ GLEE GLI B was discontinued at the end of the first semester; therefore, their accomplishments were limited to class study. The Girls’ Club, however, has been organized throughout the year. They have appeared before the Chamber of Commerce banquet, the American Legion, meetings cf the Parent-Teachers’ Association, and occasionally at the Joy Theatre. Their class study has consisted of musical drills, sight reading, pronunciation, enunciation, fundamentals of music, musical expression, and production of good tones. .Miss Crail. the music instructor, has proved very efficient, and interested in the success of her class.

It is a story of the attempts of a poor country family to rise to high society in the city, and the efforts of some society people to frustrate their endeavors. Many a laugh is coaxed by the old maid, Miss Prentice, who is continually required to take pills for her over-wrought nerves. The most important characters are Peggy Rose, played by Luella Williams; Jack Archer, by Jack Marshall; Maggie Rose, by Grace Condit; Jim Rose, by Gloyd Adams; Hazel Sommers, by Gurtha Kelly; and Ferdie Wimbledon, by Robert Holcomb. The play was coached by Mr. Wilkerson, class advisor. FEBRUARY 17—SPEAKERS SENT TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Page Thirty Honor Pupils THE increasing number of honor pupils is a source of pride in our I Iigh School. To gain a place on the honor roll, one must average at least ninety per cent in all of his subjects and in citizenship. Since the honor roll was established, six years ago, the number of its members has steadily increased. This year has not only the greatest number, but also the highest percentage. Beginning with the year 1924, the percentage of honor pupils for each successive year has been as follows: 1924, seven per cent; 1925, nine per cent; 1926, eight per cent; 1927, ten per cent; 1928, eight per cent; 1929, eleven per cent.

L. CORBETT SPOKE BEFORE STUDENT BODY Pair Thirty-ont Carefree When the shades of night are falling And the birds are sweetly calling, When the breeze so soft and low Hears away my care and woe, Then I like to sit and dream All alone beside the stream That laughs and bubbles on its way, With never a care the livelong day. The brook reminds me of the joys And the freedom of our lives as boys, When with bare feet and old straw hats, We went a-fishing for mudcats. On summer days we’d skip from school And hasten to the swimming pool, Where we would swim and play away, With never a thought of a future day. Our youth is o’er too soon it seems. But golden are the hours of dreams; And deep engraved in memory Those happy days will always be. —Alice Dlbendorf. FEBRUARY 20—G.A.A. PARTY Ptinf Thirty-two ATHLETICS AUSTIN GEHRINC McENTIRK BERG holtham new lee Athletics A I ILF. TICS, in general, has done very much in maintaining the high standards of Vernonia High School. Every school in the county has learned to look with respect on our teams, because of their determined fighting spirit, coupled with true sportsmanship. Every year we find Vernonia High’s athletes battling for first honors in the three major sports, football, basketball, and track. We do not always win the championship, but we are always among the leaders. The lessons learned from these battles are very valuable, for the games are similar to the great game of life, in which we play before the great Referee, and It matters not whether we’ve lost or won. But the thing that counts is how we’ve run.
