Came initiation, and then and there, these freshmen knew who their enemies were. Yes, those sophomores were really degrading. But, as sophomores, this class demonstrated its superiority in an effective initiation of the incoming freshmen. The class officers elected were: Philip Millis, president; Heidi Reich, vice-president; Frances Childs, secretary. During this successful year, the sophomores held a class party in October, and proved their loyalty to the student body by selling and buying the most athletic tickets of any class that year. Then as juniors, the class became really prominent. The class officers were: president, Andy Killian; vice- president, Frances Childs (later president); secretary, H eidi Reich; treasurer, Joanne Nichols. At the carnival held in the fall, the juniors won the prize for having the most popular concession, and later were second in the Memolog sales contest. On December 9, 1938, the class successfully presented their junior play, Everybody s CrazyJJ a three-act comedy, directed by Miss Cook, class adviser. Their greatest achievement of that year, the prom, was given April 28 in honor of the senior class. The attractive decorations represented a grape arbor, and the appropriate theme song was Deep Purple. The last day of school that year was joyfully celebrated with a picnic at which good food, and especially ice cream, was plentiful. P: ✓ After three long years, these students reached the top as the senior class of 1940 Mr. McCrae was chosen for the adviser, and the officers were: Melvin Powell, president; Wilton Rogers, vice-president, Elsie Duncan, secretary; Myrtle Stacey, treasurer. At the foothills climbing , was the class motto; green and yellow, class colors; and the yellow rose was chosen for the class flower, On March 15, the class deviated from the usual practice by producing the play, Smilin’ Through , a comedy-drama which was directed by Miss Wilkinson. It was proved that better plays can be given well even in small schools and the cast was properly rewarded for its effort by deserved praise. The seniors were very active in several other class functions. Every member of the class purchased a Memolog, thus winning the contest,They showed their ability as teachers on March 22, when they took over the entire management of the school. A pleasant skip day was taken in May, baccalaureate services attended, and the Class Day program presented efficiently. The members of the class of 19A0 have proved their merit by scholastic attainment,prominence in the many school activities starring in the various athletics, and on the whole, they have proved that they could do everything well. Their high school career was culminated with impressive graduation exercises on May 17,and this class is, of course, sorry to leave the school, but glad that they are through at last J y K y.

On the wedding day of John Carteret and Moonyeen Clare, a jealous lover, Jeremiah Wayne, intends to 9hoot John but, by accident, the bullet kills Moonyeen. Fifty year? later, John's grudge is so strong that he forbids his niece, Kathleen, and Wayne's son, Kenneth, who are in love, from even seeing each other. However, the two manage several meetings and carry on secret correspondence with the willing help of Carteret's friend and nei ibor, rr. Owen Harding, and the maid, Ellen. Then comes the World War and Kenneth leaves to become a soldier. When Kenneth returns, lame and ill from a wound, he feels that he is not good enough for Kathleen, and she believes he no longer loves her. After Owen finally pursuades John that he is unjust, and Moonyeen's spirit returns to show him the foolishness of his grudge against Kenneth, he forgets his prejudice. Thus the play ends happily, with the young lovers' life before them and John and Moonyeen reunited in heaven.

H. S. for the first time in September, 1937. Unafraid, but still a little shy in the presence of the upper classmen,they were glad when initiation was over and they were hailed as freshmen instead of rookies . It did not take long for the class to get into the swing of high school life and the year was successfully spent in participating in various activities. At the end of the year a picnic was given in honor of the incoming freshman class. The next fall, feeling a trifle more confident of themselves, they registered as sophomores. They chose for their class president, Roy Soejima. Following, true to tradition a very effective initiation was held for the freshmen. Confident that they had done their duty, the class members settled down to a year of study versus pleasure. Equally energetic in both, they took active part in all school activities, Due to their combined efforts, they were able to win second prize in the annual carnival contest. In the spring they held a concession at the May Day Festival in vrhich they sold pop and ice cream. This proved to be highly successful. The climax of the year was the class picnic at Big Eddy. Ice cream was the popular dish of the day and everyone had heaps of fun. In September 1939 the class entered Vernonia High School with much dignity, to be hailed as upperclassmen. Small in number, they banded together to show the school that it is not quantity that counts the most. Their first move was to have a class meeting in -which they selected Mr. McCoy to be their class adviser for the year. The officers chosen were: Barbara Nichols, president; Gladys Enneberg, vice-president; Betty Thacker, secretary; Barbara Dusten,• treasurer. With this capable set of officers the class was ready to launch a successful year. k 777musi7mm — . •••. • i.______________________ Tin:77 7777 77 1 zj zzzzzzzzizizzzzzizl I i a y Y 1 Aa ■ r. r Button,Button was chosen as the junior class play and was presented under the direction of Miss Wilkinson. This proved to be vastly entertaining, also to be highly successful financially as well The second venture of the class was a Saint Patrick-Leap Year Dance. This was given in the high school gym which was decorated with ceder boughs and balloons. Once again, the class had shown its ability. Already having acquired the reputation of an up and coming class, they triumphed again in the presentation of the Junior Prom given April 26, in honor of the graduating seniors. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated to represent a Winter Wonderland. Soft lights, lovely music,softly falling snow,all created an impression not soon to be forgotten. The class of 1941 is looking forward to its last year in V. K. S, when it my endeavor to make as big a success of its senior year as it has its previous ones. Alas, our year has come to end— As juniors we are hailed no more. But on to higher levels strive, Er-ah, that is, if we survive. How very fast the year has passed, Seems like only yesterday That all of us had found our seats, And settled down to play. Of course, that's not the purpose, Of this vast school of learning. And we'll admit we did learn, too, Regcrdless of our squirming. We're really not as bad as that, Our hearts are made of gold . We1 re little angels, in the making. At least, that's what we're told. 7 777777777 7 7. Y. ;■ 6 The JUNIOR PUY, ■BUTTON, BUTTON February 9, 1940, marked the night that the Juniors proudly presented their class play, Button, Button , a three act comedy, at the Washington Grade School. Button, who was believed to be a mental defective, came to his brother's house to live, where Patience, his sister-in-law, was going to try to restore his mind. Button led a dog's life while staying with his brother. He W3S bothered by an antique collector, Mrs. weed, who was determined that Button should marry her daughter, Phoebe, while he was staying there he fell in love with the maid, Josie. Josie thou it that nothing could come of their affair though, as Button was not common as she was. When the play was nearly ended, it was discovered that 3utton wa9 common after all. He was the son of a housekeeper, who was his father's first wife. The play then ended happily with Josie getting the Button. THE CAST Mrs. Patience Woodhouse. .

It was a memorable day for Ver-nonia High School, for those sixty-seven freshmen who entered then turned out to be outstanding students,athletes, and all-around benefactors to the school. Initiation was soon over and Fred Thompson was elected president of the class, ihe most important social events of the year were an entry in the carnival, a class party in the spring and a picnic for the on-coming freshmen given on the last day of school. The fall of 1939 again found sixty-seven sophomores eager to begin another school year with Liddleton Crawford as the class president and Mr. liacDonald as their adviser. Other class officers were: vice-president, Cloice Hall; secretary, Martha Tapp; treasurer, Lillian Laird; and sergeants-at-arms, Margaret Haiman and Edgar Culbertson. Since there is danger in such practices as hacking in initiation, the class decided to eliminate it, but they had other ways of initiating. The freshmen obliged with a program of singing, speeches, and stunts under the direction of the class president. The urge for merry-making soon began to stir in the blood of the sophomores so they held a Halloween party in the gym. It was complete with a scavenger hunt and cider and doughnuts. The sophomores are to be proud of their scholastic rank. They led all of the honor rolls and tied for first place in the semester honor roll. Sixteen different names appeared on the honor roll at least once during the year. Eight football lettermen, several softball team members, several track men, several competitors ill the Oregon State High School Boxing Tournament at Oregon City,and several basketball players in the class were well supported by their fellow classmates. The sophomores, too, did their part in activities and clubs. The class of '42 looks forward to two more profitable years in Vernonia High School. pleasant and KP777T 777r ?77Tsrrrrr , -nzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ,1. 717:77777777777777 7 77777777777 77777 7777777777777717 .

Yes, the largest class ever to enroll in Vemonia High School. Their officers for the year were: president, Lucille Bond, vice-president, Ethel Parcells; secretary, Erma Koberstein; treasurer, Betty Olson. The freshmen were initiated by the sophomores in the memorable month of September 1939. In hideous dress, they gracefully, though somewhat stiffly, crawled up the incline. Another date stands out in the record of events —the class party that was held November 18, 1939. The freshmen became their old, jolly selves on this one occasion during their first year in this dignified institution. Although never leading the honor roll,the freshmen did rate some with a grand total of eleven. Some of which were on more than once, achieving this much-sought-for goal this year. There are many freshmen Numbering eighty-three. We hope we'll all be seniors In Nineteen forty three. The path is steep and hard for us But we can make it, you and me; And it shall become easier Every year, as we shall see. So fight and make it, classmates. Only three more years to go Then we shall all be seniors— Those freshmen of long ago.

With an exceptionally large turnout, most of whom were inexperienced. Coach McCoy took charge and taught a different system from that used before by Logger teams. The first encounter of the season was at Forest Grove, where the Loggers had been invited to participate in the annual round of games played by the Washington County League. There they met the strong Beaverton boys and scored against them with a sensational seventy-yard touchdown pass from Mil-lis to Robert Roeser. With the Loggers1 morale high, they journeyed to St. Helens only to be beaten by a large score. After such a discouraging defeat, the Loggers came back strong to almost win over Clatskanie, but the Tigers beat Vernonia by the same score that the Loggers had beaten them the previous year. Again, with high hopes, they grimly fought against experienced teams and lost badly to Rainier and Scappoose. In non-league games they lost to Sheridan and fought a civil war between the upper classmen and loser classmen that brought a tie score. After a rest,they met Seaside and beat them to rise from the league cellar and graciously give the position to Seaside. Encouraged and determined, they met the strong Beaverton Beavers again and held them scoreless the first half. The Loggers' passing attack was made useless because the turf was wet and a slight fog hung over the field. The Beavers finally forged ahead to win by a small score. Although they did not win many games, the Loggers' morale was good and never did they show any sign of being anything but good sportsmen. With practically the whole team coming back next year, it looks as though the Loggers are headed for the win column in the future. !� T7TTT7 + v - V hen basketball season rolled around, Coach McCoy was again faced with a problem—that of building up a team of rather short boys to compete with the tall lads of the other teams of the county. His main loss by graduation were the veteran guards, Howard Rundell and Vic LaPorte. In the pre-season tilts, the Loggers lost to Forest Grove and Beaverton, lost to the local IWA, and split two games with Birken-feld to win and lose the Nehalem Valley Championship. Scappoose gave the Loggers their first opposition in’ league play which resulted in defeat for Vernonia. St. Helens was the next step and the Loggers were also turned back by the Lions. For a recess from league play, the Loggers regained their title from Birkenfeld and lost, by an overtime, to Banks-. The Loggers, having built up confidence and spirit, then lost to Clatskanie, and again to Scappoose and St. Helens, with very small gaps between the scores. The last tilt of the season before the tournament was with Rainier, and the husky Columbians, led by Procter, swamped Vernonia. The tournament, an annual event, wras to be eliminated this year and a simpler method used but the league ended in a three-way tie between Rainier, Scappoose, and St. Helens. Vernonia was eliminated in the tournament by St. Helens' A and B teams. Clatskanie won the Columbia County Championship by an upset over St, Helens' A team and Astoria won the district title. Trr srrrs rT7r77 ? sz7Trf77 7r r7777rr;iVi- Mr. MacDonald, -with good material to work with, turned out an excellent boxing team. The team travelled to Oregon City to compete in the State Boxing tournament and returned with the 145-pound boxing crown won by Roy Bell. Andy Killian failed to hold his title when he lost by a default. A smoker was held in the high school gym in which high school and ypk grade school boys took part. The final card of the season was a smoker at Rainier. The fine material from which Mr. MacDonald shaped his team consisted of the follovdng boys: Roy Bell, Andy Killian, Lyman Hawken, Levis Adams,Charles Moulton, Claude Veal, and Reginald ,f'atson. CO c Mr, McCoy turned out a fine bunch of track boys in the personnel of Philip Millis, Harry Lus-_ —7?by, Cloice Hall, Clair Sunnell, Homer Michener, Edgar Culbertson, and Jack Baker. The team participated in the Hill Military relays, the Hayward relays at Eugene where they established a record for the C sprint relay by running it in 46.8 , the county the district meet, and lastly the state meet. The group was small but they made up for this shortcoming with their sportsmanship and perseverance % With the end of basketball season and the spring weather,came the annual softball league. The season began with the picking of a committee of boys from each class that, with the help of Mr McCrae and other faculty members, drew up the rules to be observed throughout the season. Next came the choosing of captains and the results were as follows: seniors, Andy (Gump) Killian; juniors, Calvin Davis; sophomores, Robert Roeser; freshmen, Harry Lazott. From Monday to Thursday, inclusive, games were played between the classes and on Fridays the new system of having all-star games was established. The all-star games consisted of one class playing picked members from other classes. All the games were umpired by Mr. MacDonald.

Unfortunately, 'lost many members in the graduating class last year. But, in spite of that, they have made admirable progress. The time has been spent in studying popular pieces,melodies from symphonies and overtures, and other well known compositions, The May Day Festival provided the occasion for its last performance. Twenty-five girls making up the Glee Club took an active part in many events. Their first public appearance was in the Christmas program. Following that, they attended the state music contest held at Forest Grove on April 26 and 27. Then they took part in the county music meet at Rainier. Singing for the May Day Festival on May 3, closed a year of activity. This year, V.H.S. has had another musical representative, the Girls' Sextette. Their first debut was made at church. In the winter they sang at a number of places,including a lodge meeting,a Chamber of Commerce dinner, and on the radio at Clatskanie over station KWLK, In the spring they sang at a ladies' tea. The girls in the sextette were as follows: Erma Koberstein,Joanne Nichols, Opal Scheuerraan, Barbara Nichols, Mary Lee Hall, and Kathleen Tomlin, who were chosen from the glee club. Miss Connell, who was the director of these, is given due credit for the progress that has been made. S77Z77ZZ772Z7Z777777. V X ■777 ' 77YZ ZJ. TH £ DRAMA CL US The Drama Club spent a very interesting year under the supervision of Miss Jane Wilkinson. During the year it studied the dramatics manual, Modern Acting , practiced short skits and presented a few short plays before the student body. Miss Wilkinson also tested the members during the year for hidden talent. The Drama Club aided with Christmas program at the school scenery for the junior play. THE •READING CLU the plans and worked for the on the The Reading Club was formed for the first time this year by those girls who were interested in reading good books. The club was under the supervision of Miss Wilkinson. The club met each Tuesday and Thursday of the week and spent the time in reading. The girls could read any books they chose as long as it was good literature. If the girls or Miss Wilkinson read a book that is exceptionally good, they discussed it. Also Miss Wilkinson often read selections from various books that interested He girls. Oftentimes the period was spent in informal discussion. if? THE OUTDOOR CLUB During the past year, the Outdoor Club, under the direction of Mr McEntire, has progressed rapidly. The boys vho are interested in airplanes, made the following models: Howard, Mona Coop, Polish Fighter, and Curtis Pursuits They have also made arrows, flies, and various other things throughout the year. Early in the spring, they went on a fishing trip to Keasey, their usual fishing grounds. One of the most outstanding events of the year was a picnic held at Arcadia for all the boys of the school. A delicious stew furnished the main part of the entertainment. Trie SCIENCE CLUB Mr. Mills' Science Club has been concerned mostly in performing experiments during the past year for the benefit of different junior science and biology classes. An aquarium was made by some of the members, while others made ant cages and cages containing snakes and lizards. The animals were observed to see their reaction toward different temperatures, food, etc. Worms and other insects were disected and examined under the microscope as well as a few slides. 7r r77r7 777Ts rrs r fsr s 7r r 7 7y777i rrT. SSV ING CLUB During the past year, under the leadership of Mrs Prescott, several r.imble-fingered girls have spent their Monday-Wednesday-Fri-day activity periods in the Sewing Club doing various bits of delicate handwork. Their work has consisted chiefly of embroidery,crocheting, and knitting, the most popular of these proving to be embroidering decorative designs on pillow cases. Before Christmas, the members of this club utilized their time in making attractive presents. If asked, the girls -would probably admit that although their object was sewing, they managed to spend much of their time enjoying that common and interesting pastime, gossip, and were capable of keeping up a constant hum. Be that as it may, this club has given them valuable practice and an opportunity to finish useful articles that otherwise might never have been made INDUSTRIAL ARTS S The Industrial Arts Activity Group i3 composed of beys -under Hr, MacDonald's direction who are members of the Industrial Arts class and who like to use that time to finish their class work and make other things not required in the course. Whenever there is a great deal of difficult work which is not completed during the regular class, Mr. MacDonald asks most of the class to work on it during this period. Many of the odd jobs around the school that can not be completely taken care of by the Industrial Arts class, such as fixing broken chairs, painting,and constructing the foundation scenery for plays, fall on this group. Although gossip is generally associated with girls, we dare say there is a lot of it going on in the Industrial Arts room during activity period Perhaps it isn't exactly gossip, but anyway,the boys do talk about who is doing what, sports, anything, and everything. ■v r. I The Girls' League met for the first time on October.16 under the direction of Mrs, Prescott. The officers presiding were Heidi Reich, president; Erma Kent, vice-president; Lottie Reich, secretary; Opal Scheuerman, treasurer; Barbara Nichols and Mary Lee Hall, song leaders; Maxine John,sergeant-at-arms . The major functions of the Girls' League this year included several speakers from out of town who talked to the girls and the sponsoring of candy and pop sales at the football and basketball games. A Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored by the Girls' League on November 12, and a football banquet was given for the boys on December 14.. The annual Girls' League conference was held at Scap-poose on December 9 and was attended by several girls. The officers elected for the second semester were: Erma Kent, president; Bessie Bell, vice-president; Betty Thacker, secretary; Martha Tapp, treasurer; Jean Lewis and Eunice Larsen, song leaders; Alma Jean Norman, sergeant-at-arms. Ti D O YSJ CLU n D Until the Boys Club was formed, there was no way in which the boys could meet together and do things in a body. By meeting together, the boys were able to get acquainted with every other boy in school. It was also a fine place to discuss topics or problems of interest to all of the boys. In the Boys' Club, a boy is just as important if he is a freshman as he would be if he were a senior. Officer Wheeler, in charge of enforcing the Oregon fish and game laws in communities around Vernonia, gave the boys an interesting talk concerning the efficiency and law enforcement of our Oregon State Police. Each boy took an active part in sponsoring a Dads' Night in which each boy brought a dad and helped make a fine get together . For entertainment, the boys put on a smoker and also competed against their dads in several games. The boys of the club enjoyed an old fashioned mulligan feed at Arcadia Park, where the boys and the teachers played games and afterward ate a fine stew and drank cider. When spring finally came, with it came softball and the organization of the teams. The playing off of the games was worked out by the boys' club very successfully. ,1 77777777’77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777a QUEEN IRENE and Maids Howard Rundell Escorting Queen Irene Padding Pappa Stiff Shirt Flat ■•Tire QUEEN IRENE and Flower Girls Demure De Play Clothes Pep Club Initiates 2777777777777777777777,7777777777777777777777777777 JI77I777777I. '7777777777777777777777777777777'. I'll take you for a little tour— A day in V. H. S. I'll show you people, sights, and scenes And things you'd never guess. Hardly a man is now alive Who comes to school as early as five. Bob comes just because he hasta; He'd come later if he dasta. He's at work before you wake, 'Cause he has the fire'to make, And he heats the boiler up With the help of Belle, the pup. And here, friends, is the principal— Affectionately called Mac . (Though that, of course you understand. Is just behind his back.) Everyone likes him and trusts him, And the reason for that is clear. For he's a right good fellow— So friendly and sincere. See the students' happy faces i They're so glad to come to school. 'Specially on Monday mornings. When smiling faces are the rule. It does me good to see them all So cheerful and so gay; They're all so glad to come here, And all so glad to stay. Librarians have a motto— It's Service with a smile. And our librarians follow it. (At least, once in a while. Sometimes they give just service. And sometimes, just the smile.) £______ VTT7T77771 77ZZZ 777777.77777777777 7 77 777J7777Z Hear that steady click, click, click? students typing quick quick. Fifty copies for a one. (Mr. Skuzie thinks that's fun.) They fuss and fume and growl and gripe. They'd get more done if they would type. Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Fire burn, and cauldron, bubble. Pour a lot of acid in it. That's the right way to begin it. 7Tith sufficient HC1 You can make an awful smell. If the stuff explodes, boom I boom i Fe'll bring lilies to your tomb.

(I'm kidding, girlsj I know that you Are excellent cooks, and seamstresses, too.) At about eleven thirty All the students seem to feel They,can't live another minute T'ithout their noonday meal. So they get a little restless And they get a little wild. And the teacher thinks, My goodness, But John's a problem child. And when the noon bell rings, They fly just like a bird; And they leave while the teacher's In the middle of a word. Of this kind of conduct here is a sample, For Buddy, Lyle, and Erma are a typical example. 777 777777777. y.s y y y y yy ’77777777 77 77 Pi t V hen he's unusually unkind, The students get so far behind They even have to vrork at noon !

Vfork instead of eating at noon— Type and type till they nearly swoon. In all the hist'ry of V. H. There is no class like this Of their own free will they study at noon. For study to them is bliss. Up the ramp and down the ramp Students and teachers steadily tramp. Some go fast, and some go slow; Some go gladly, and some just go. There's a humming, roaring noise Made by chattering girls and boys. Perhaps, if you were strange to the town, You'd think the school were tumbling down I'm certain you would never guess That noise was the students of V. H, S. To look at them, you'd never think The things they say would make you blink. But really, they use shocking grammar When their thumbs get hit by a hammer They use the words of drivers of trucks. Blankety,blankety,blankety—shucks. I really think it's queer The -way they linger near As if they hate to leave. And yet they wouldn't grieve If it burned down, and so Why do they hate to go? A reason I discern: They must, if they go, return '7JV 777 77 7 777 7772 BSBBN Shiver my timbers 1 Larsen can read I I thought she'd never achieve it, And if there weren't this picture for proof,' I still would not believe it.
