Pacific University Mathematics FACULTY FAILINGS AND FOOLINGS A's for Alvenia and Alvilda, too, (I can't ever remember just which is who). They're both good members of the faculty tribe, But students can neither with apples bribe. B's for the boss, our Wallace McCrae, Students, you’d better not go astray, (At least within sight of his eagle eye) Or he will all your pleasures deny. C is for coach or Miss Connell] Neither arrives until after the bell. Both claim it's the school clock that's wrong. Of course, that's an alibij it's sleep they prolong. E's for Elizabeth, and you she beguiles When she greets you each morning rath wide pleasant smiles. She teaches typing and law and geography] If you don't have your lesson, it's a catastrophe. F is for Freda, known here as Miss Beck, If you want something printed, she's right on deck. She worries and frets about her publications] Often, she and her staff even go without rations. G is for George, an attractive gal. She's one in a million and always a pal. Decides right away just what is so, And Clever wavers betvjeen Yes and No . Harold's the name of our fisherman] He claims to fish better'n anyone can. Don't believe all you hear 'bout the length of his fish, I'm afraid 'tisn't true, but only a wish. J is for Jane, she was just like it sounds, A practical pedagogue full of knowledge profound. One day without 'earning, we were left in the lurch, When she went middle-aisling it down at the church. L is for Leslie, Clem to you. He'll sneak up on two in a rendezvous And snap a picture, quicker'n a wink, Which makes them both blink and often turn pink. M’s for MacDonald; tall, slim, with red hair, He's boss of the shop—his word’s law down there. He's also the owner of a small city farm, Where he claims to raise plants as long as your arm. P is for Prescott, as sweet as you'll find. She's pretty and quiet and never unkind. Freshmen and soph'mores often drive people crazy, But she comes through it all, mind not even hazy. R is for Ray, our chemistry cook, He teaches his class out of many a book That tells just how to make a grand smell From sulphuric acid and HCL. S is for Spencer; we call him Bob, As caretaker here, he's right on the job. He knows many things 'bout the kids here at school, 'Bout the Key, many secrets, and breeches «f rule. W's for Wally, a different man From the boss of the school, who'll your breeches tan. He likes to ride donkeys, shoot baskets, and such And once he even hobbled 'round on a crutch. P. S. We have tried here to catalogue Faults and virtues of pedagogues. To all who read, v:e want you to know, That although some of them have to go, The school would come much more to the fore If all of them stayed forevermore. B. N. N.

Knowing full well the trials and tribulations that were to come with the dreaded proverbial initiation, they donned their best offensive and came through the initiation without considerable loss of their dignity. They chose for the year as their president,Jim Ryers and as their class adviser,Ray Mills. When the next year rolled around and they were ready to pick up their books and resume school again,they chose as their class president Roy Soejima. Though a trifle smaller in number, they showed their vigor and enthusiasm with a prompt, but nevertherless effective, initiation of the freshmen. During their sophomore year the class won second prize in the annual carnival contest and sponsored a concession in the May Day festival, which proved to be equally successful. The climax of the year was the annual class picnic at Big Eddy. The last shouts heard then were, Yippee, school's out I As juniors they were handed the title, upperclassmen , which they gravely accepted knowing full well the responsibilities it would bring. Barbara Nichols was chosen to head the group and Mr. McCoy was elected adviser for the year. Button Button , a clever and hilarious comedy, was chosen to be the class play and was produced under the direction of Miss Wilkinson. Everyone voted this play a number 1 production. The second venture of the class was a Saint Patrick-Leap Year dance which proved to be highly successful, both entertainingly and financially. The gymnasium was decorated attractively in cedar boughs and balloons. On April 26 the juniors presented one of the loveliest proms ever given in V. H. S. The theme, Winter Wonderland , was beautifully pictured with soft snow, icicles, igloos, and ice cave. Winter Wonderland will not soon be forgotten by those who attended. With tons of ice cream, the class ended another successful year for the class of 41 at a picnic held at Big Eddy. In the fall of 1940 a still smaller but still wiser group entered V. H. S. for their final year to be hailed as seniors. They chose as their class officers: Bill Duncan, president; Bill Templeton, vice-president; Pauline Rollins, secretary; Roy Soejima, treasurer. As their class adviser for the year they chose Mr. McCrae. Success be our Journey's End was chosen as the class motto. Class colors were red and white and the class flower, the red rose. On March 7 the class presented their senior play, Yes and No , under the direction of Miss George, ihis unusually unique comedy added another triumph to the long list of successful endeavors of the class. During their four years in V. H. S. the class participated in activities of all types. Sports, publications, music, dramatics, scholarship were all efficiently represented. Every member of the class purchased a Memolog and therefore won the subscription contest. On April 22, they 'showed their ability to teach as well as learn when they took over the entire management of the school. The end of the year held much in store for the graduating seniors. An enjoyable skip day was taken in May, senior banquet and baccalaureate services attended, the class day program presented which proved to be delightfully entertaining, and at last at an impressive graduation ceremony, the class of forty-one came to the end of its high school career. The class of '41 has proven that it is not quantity that always counts the most but rather that quality, too, is of major importance. It has shown this by the spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation that has predominated in all of its endeavors. The Senior Play, YES and NO The senior class presented an unusual type of play this year, and from the great number of consents, the audience decided that it was one of the best comedies presented in ve mania. The play, Yes and No , centers around Joanna Jarrow, daughter of Reverend and Mrs. Jarrow, and shows, in the first act, what might have happened if she had said no to Adrian Marsh's proposal; the second act what ri it have happened if she had chosen to say yes ; and the epilogue what actually did happen. The family circle is completed by a younger sister, Sally, who is a music aspirant, and Mr. Bagshott, the rector's curate, and also Mrs. Webb, the daily woman, who tries in vain to keep the house neat and tidy.

JUNIOR CUSS HISTORY To many people, 1938 meant little but to sixty-seven students it meant entering V, H. S. as Rooks . After a gruelling initiation, they were recognized by upper-classmen as full-fledged freshmen. Throughout the year these enterprising freshmen led the school on the honor roll. Class officers were elected early in the year—Fred Thompson was the president and Miss Miller, class adviser. During the year, the class sponsored a Fun House as their carnival concession which proved to be most successful. A class party was also held in the spring and a picnic on the last day of school was given to welcome the incoming freshmen. The following year brought sixty-seven eager sophomores back to school, ready to begin their second important year in V. H. S. Midd Crawford was elected president and Mr. MacDonald, class adviser. Ry really getting into the swing of high school life and school spirit and keeping true to tradition, an effective initiation was given for the freshmen,impressing upon their minds that they were becoming members of V. H. S. After fulfilling their duty, these students resumed their places of activity, working hard to achieve the greater aims which lay before them. As in their freshman year, the sophomores again led the honor roll and tied for first place in the semester honor roll. The class was always well-represented in football, basketball, and track. They were also the winners of interclass baseball in the spring of 1940. The class picnic at Big Eddy brought the year to a close. Again returning to V. H. S. in the fall of 1940, sixty-two juniors showed increasing dignity, now being known as upper-classmen. As in the two previous years, they immediately began to demonstrate their outstanding abilities and superior intelligence. The members elected as class officers for this year were: president, Virgie Killian; vice-president, Robert Roeser; secretary, Kathleen Lolley; treasurer, Dorothy Millis; and as adviser for the second time, Mr. MacDonald. During this successful year, the juniors showed themselves to be invaluable in athletics to V. H. S. At the close of the football season, nine members received letters for the efforts they had put forth towards making the team county champion. The junior class was privileged to have two of its members on the county all-star team. Likewise taking an active part in basketball and track, six boys in each were justly awarded letters. In addition, it might be mentioned that the student body yell leader was a member of the junior class. This class showed itself to be active in all other organizations, too, such as the Pep Club, The Timberline, and music. Having already proved their scholastic ability by leading all of the honor rolls in the two previous years, they continued during this third year by leading most of them. An important venture of the year was the presentation of Seven Sisters , the class play which was highly entertaining. This unusual play, a hilarious three-act Hungarian farce, was definitely successful financially, clearing over 066. Under the direction of Miss Wilkinson, the juniors showed their unusual dramatic ability. The last triumph of the year of 1940-41 was that big event which took place on the night of April 25—the annual Junior Prom. Always being original in ideas, a unique presentation was given in honor of the graduating seniors of '41. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated to represent a forest scene, skillfully carrying out the theme, The Wise Old Owl . Clever little owls appeared on the invitations. This class of 42 is looking forward to its last year in V. H. S., hoping that greater heights may be attained and that their efforts may not be in vain but that they may help to make Vernonia High School a better place. Ferenz Horkoy Katinka Lieut Sandorffy The Junior Play, SEVEN SISTERS Seven Sisters made their debut in Vemonia at the Washington Grade School in the Junior class play on December 6, 1940. This three-act Hungarian comedy-farce brought one of the largest crowds ever to view a Vemonia High School play. The head of the Oyurkovics family, the widowed mother, tries desperately to get her three eldest daughters wed in the order of their ages, although it is through someone else's efforts that they finally marry. Mitzi, after being expelled from a boarding school,is reduced by her mother to the age of 15. Her friend, young lieutenant Horkoy, promises to find husbands for the eldest Gyurkovics girls because when this is done, Mitzi's age will be restored. First, Mitzi and Horkoy match Katinka with Colonel Radviany;then they cause Lieutenant Sandorffy to come to the Gyurkovics home where he soon falls in love with Sari and marries her; a match is soon found for sister Ella in the timid Baron Gida. Their schemes are nearly ruined by the sudden arrival of Mrs. Gyurkovics' lisping godson, Toni Teleki, whom Horkoy has been impersonating. With Mitzi's age restored, she soon marries Horkoy; this marriage fills the mother's hopes. The younger daughters, Tika, Liza, and Klara added an amusing bit of atmosphere by their childish actions. The peasant and military costumes, the Hungarian setting, and the servant boy, Janko, also added color to the production.

H. S. September third with the realization that the rook stage had passed. The class soon elected this capable staff to lead them through the year: president. Dean Lion- berger; vice-president, Calvin Sasse; secretary, Rosaile Driscoll; treasurer, Lucille Johnson; class adviser, Miss Connell. Freshman initiation was the one thing the sophomores had been looking forward to for a year. They made it a howling success. The climax of this event was a party in honor of the freshmen. The sophomores were rewarded for their hard work towards the success of the carnival. Their milk-bottle concession was first in profit. The class ’was very active in all activities. Its boys were noticeably present in all athletics. We have now looked backward to view the achievements of a class which has advanced one more rung toward the top of the ladder. Our faces must now be turned to look forward to the remaining two years of progress and accomplishment. There are four steps in the ladder Of which, we have climbed but two, But the top has been reached by others, So like them, we’ll arrive, too. -k ir mSBSBH Tre ih man (2La u -Hl 5 tor y On September 3, 1940, sixty-one rather scared, timid, bewildered, little rooks found seats in the study hall of Vernonia High School. They had good reason to be scared on the nineteenth and twentieth days of September, for on those days they were formally, in an informal manner, initiated by the upperclassmen. The climax was reached at the half of the first football game of the season when they gave a program which showed that the initiation hadn't gotten them completely down. At a party given by the sophomores on September 27, the freshmen regained their self-assurance. They chose Mr. McCoy as adviser and elected as class officers for the year: Larry Brady, presi- dent; Lyle Galloway, vice-president; Irene Driscoll, secretary; and Max Ensworth, treasurer. As a carnival concession,they chose the basketball throw which turned out to be second in popularity. When Mr. McCrae read the honor roll at the end of each six weeks, the freshmen were usually represented by several members. Not so very smart right at the start If you care to remember But teacher said if we'd use our head We'd be sophs by next September. ★ °% SN MC % SPRING BLOSSOMS - THE LD SWIMMIN HOLE N A NEW PAINT J03 i Ltj i i«G i'.ITH DOLLS HOY PRETTY HEY 1 PROUD HAMA EEK � WORMS V H S . o . o . .

During the year a 10 to 16 page paper has been published every other week throughout the entire school year. The April Fools' edition proved to be a novelty issue when imaginations were allowed to run wild much to the amusement of its readers. The senior edition which was written entirely by the seniors was given out Class Day. Lillian Hedman, Barbara Nichols, Opal Scheuerman, Joy Willard, and Miss Beck attended the sixteenth annual convention of the Oregon High School Press Association which was held in Eugene, October 25—26. QUILL SCROLL Seven new members—Lillian Hedman, Barbara Nichols, Barbara Dusten, Bill Templeton, Opal Scheuerman, Martha Tapp, and Winifred Romtvedt—were initiated into Quill and Scroll, International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. The members were selected for the outstanding work they have done on the Timberline. This is the first year that any juniors have been initiated into the society. Miss Freda Beck, adviser of the Timberline group, was presented with a faculty life membership in the Quill Scroll organization in appreciation of her interest in the work of the organization. ♦ HONORS This year the Timberline had the honor of being declared the best mimeographed paper in the state of Oregon at the close of the press conference, October 26. The trophy they received for this honor was presented to the student body and was placed on display in the trophy case. In previous years the Timberline placed second in this contest, but this year was the first time it has ever received first. The Timberline for the third consecutive year received a certificate giving them International First Place Award in the Quill Scroll achievement ratings. The paper also had honorable mention in its class in the Whitman College Press Club contest held last spring, THE MEMOLOG Along with the regular publication of the Timberline the staff has taken over the production of the Hemolog for the second consecutive year. This is the fifth mimeographed yearbook to be published. The first issue was sponsored by the seniors but the succeeding numbers were published by the associated student body. For the past two years the Llemolog has been published a week and a half before school is out and, therefore, necessitated the omission of the senior will and prophecy which was used later on Class Day. Both publications, the Meraolog and the Timberline, have been self-supporting. , o . o . V H S , o . o , Sextette MUSIC Vernonia High School’s sextette, composed of Mary Lee Hall, Kathleen Tomlin, Barbara Nichols, Opal Scheuerman, Virginia Redner and Leota White, this year made a name for itself. It is known as a source of good entertainment by all organizations about tov n and was asked to lend its vocal ability on many occasions. Among these were the Legion installation, a meeting of the Eastern Star, the annual football banquet,the Chamber of Commerce banquet, the Christmas program, a meeting of the Odd Fellows and Rebeccas, the Girls' League style show. May Day, and graduation. This is one of our school's best assets which brings the attention of the public to the progressive spirit of Vernonia High School. Glee Club With Miss Alvenia Connell as instructor, the 1940-1941 school year was a very successful year for the glee club. Twenty-seven girls were members. They provided vocal entertainment for the Christmas program,competed in the music festival at Newberg, Oregon, and sang for the May Day fete. Many excellent vocal pointers were received from Miss Connell during the year, and the girls benefited immensely. Orchestra Also under the supervision of Miss Connell, the school orchestra, composed of nine members, spent the year working out various orchestral arrangements. The latter part of the year they spent practising in preparation for the May Day fiesta, when they provided the musical spirit for that gala occasion. READING CLUB Good books, approved by Miss Wilkinson, were read by the four members of the Reading Club when they met on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, during the time they functioned which was while Miss Wilkinson was teaching. Informal discussions were held about books—and other things—when the group grew tired of reading or had something especially interesting to talk about. While the girls were thus reading. Miss Wilkinson could really have a little peace and quiet, and time for deep and deliberate thinking. PEP CLUB This was the fourth consecutive year of the Pep Club and the pepsters really made it a good one. The officers were chosen in the spring of 40 and were as follows: president, Lillian Hedman, vice-president, Pauline Rol- lings; secretary, Barbara Dusten; treasurer, Betty Thacker. The first thing that the new group undertook was to buy white sweaters with the letters PEP across the front in blue and yellow. In their meetings they agreed to back the school team in all its games. Pop and candy were sold at each of the games. During the year they sponsored a dedication dance which proved very successful, being quite different from any given in V. H. S. Arranging and fixing an unused room in blue and yellow afforded a meeting place for the pepsters during the latter part of the year. DRAMA CLUB Under the direction of Miss Wilkinson the Drama Club was organized. Its activities began with the study of stage make-up and character protrayals. Cuts from plays Y ere staged within the group itself. Its members assisted with the make-up for the junior and senior plays and costuming for the junior play. Miss George reorganized the club the second semester presenting a program in preparation for next year. General stage conduct, skits, and readings v ere the main objectives for the remainder of the semester. Included in next year's plans is that of assisting the Pep Club at rallies by giving skits at the games to encourage enthusiasm. Other plans are also formulated. SEWING CLUB rom en fifteen girls spent their activity period each Monday,Wednesday, and Friday in sewing anything they wished under Mrs. Prescott's direction. If asked the object of this needlework, the girls would probably give some indefinite answer, but anyone else would say that each piece completed goes into a hope cnest• These stitchers like to spend the greater part of their time in embroidering pillovf cases, including the His and Her type; luncheon cloths are next in popularity. Dresser scarves or sets also receive due attention. Before Christmas they could ave been called Santa's helpers, while in the latter rt of the year it became the vogue to weave on small nd looms. However, sowing does not keep them busy enough, as peek at the stitchers would reveal rapidly moving lips. - PEP CLUB SCIENCE CLUB IT -U OOl OUTDOOR CLUB INDUSTRIAL ARTS HANDWORK CLUB o � o � V H S .0.0 GIRLS’ OUTDOOR CLUB Nice weather, the Girls' Outdoor Club, a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday activity period—makes a perfect combination for a softball game. And softball was the principal sport played by the twenty-two members of the Outdoor Club ' and Miss Galloway, adviser. Volleyball was played occasionally, and a few hikes were enjoyed. This club, which was started in March, was made up of outdoor and sports loving girls who especially enjoyed an exciting game of softball. BOYS’ OUTDOOR CLUB Construction of model airplanes became the main interest of the Outdoor Club in this third year of action under Mr. McEn-tire's direction. The interest in model airplanes instead of fly tying was probably due to the present world situation. On October 9, the club sponsored the annual mulligan feed at Arcadia Park where quantities of mulligan stew and cider were served to the male members of the school. An air carnival was staged in April in which the brightly colored model airplanes built by the club were tested for speed, distance, and time in the air. SCIENCE CLUB Last fall about fifteen students assembled in Mr. Mills room to form the Science Club. They performed many interesting as well as educational experiments throughout the year. Some of the members learned how to bend glass into various forms and patterns; others experimented with chemicals and solutions. Different forms of plant and animal life were studied under the microscopes. During the first part of the year pictures were developed but later this was discontinued. The club had no main project, but the students worked with whatever interested them the most. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Under the supervision of Mr. MacDonald, an Industrial Arts group met every Tuesday and Thursday. About eight or nine members of the Industrial Arts classes used this period to work on projects they started during class periods. Any student could go down to work at this time. GIRLS' LEAGUE Combining all of the girls in the student body into one organization has made up the Girls' League which has contributed to many of the school functions for several years. The officers for the first semester were Jeanne Ryves, president; Kathleen Lolley, vice-president; Lucille Bond, secretary; Lottie Reich, treasurer; Opal Scheuerman and Virginia Redner, song leaders; Ethel Parcells, sergeant-at-arms. Those for the second semester were Pauline Rollins, president; Gladys Enneberg, vice-president; Martha Tapp, secretary; Kathleen Lolley, treasurer; Opal Scheuerman and Virginia Redner,reelected as song leaders; Ida Bond, sergeant-at-arms. The major activities this year included the annual conference held at Rainier, November 2, which eighteen girls attended—one of the largest groups ever representing Vernonia. At this meeting plans were made to hold next year's conference here in Vernonia. November 2 was nationally proclaimed as Sadie Hawkins Day and has been added to the Girls' League annual events, A dance was given that night, featuring several new and interesting plans for decorations and entertainment. A football banquet was given for the team December 12 for which the Girls' League planned clever hall and table decorations. The girls again sponsored the eats concession at the annual school carnival. A few out-of-town speakers were engaged and talked to the girls about their various problems. Among other things, a mothers' day tea and a style show were held closing a very active year. BOYS' CLUB feed, were all activities of £he Boys' Club. mumgan V oo t orl a.h it. ★ Short and Sweet Good while it lasted Young and Sweet P-Q31- a ad PK£.3£AJ-t Looks Serious But it wasn't «-___ n § _ — . . r . ■+ Seven Years of Thic Started March 21, 1939 Died February 28, 1941 Resurrected ?

A fast, well-balanced backfield, a nigh-impregnable line, and an inspirational coach, all combined to produce this powerful machine which finished the season with a scoring record of 110 points as a-gainst 38 scored upon it. The Loggers clearly outclassed all opponents in their blocking and tackling and from somewhere snatched that elusive fighting spirit that means so much to a championship aggregation. Even after a helpful trek .to the beach for a week's stay the Loggers still did not show much, although they defeated Ne-halem, and tied Newberg in a 15-minute contest at the T. Y. V, League opener. On the highly-touted St. Helens Lions fell the first of the Logger upsets when they outplayed the Lion eleven and won a moral victory even though held to a scoreless tie in the muddiest and wettest game of the year. Gaining almost too much confidence, the Loggers came from behind at Clatskanie to whip their traditional rivals in the second league game of the year. Rapidly improving and playing the best ball of the year, they trimmed Rainier's runner-up Columbians and went on to leap the last obstacle in the race, the Scappoose Indians,in a game marked by the unusual number of fumbles and a seldom seen field goal. Finishing the year with three non-conference contests, the Loggers romped over Sheridan, scoring 19 points in the first quarter and using the second team for over half of the game; outfought the scrappy Gulls at Seaside, one of the two teams able to hold the Loggers to less than two touchdowns; and ended the season with a battered and sick team, losing to Beaverton, T. Y. V. League champions. After the Loggers had gained the undisputed title with Rainier's noble victory over St. Helens, fans and followers of the team gathered together at a banquet and presented them with a magnificent trophy in recognition of their work. At the banquet Jack McDonald, ★ ic graduating guard, received a cup for being voted most inspirational player by members of the team. Bob Roeser, Cloice Hall, Bob Tindall received places on the all-county team and all will be back next year to keep practically the same team together. An intact backfield and the loss of only three players will mean much to the Loggers next year, so football will probably have another successfi.il season at V. H. S. in 1941.

Three-inning games were played during the noon hour by the class teams until the end of the term. Elected captains for the season were: Roy SoejLma, senior; co-captains, Cloice Hall and Ben Soejiua, juniors; and Fred Lusby and Lyle Galloway, sophomores and freshmen respectively. For the first entirely, making games much easier, ing years. time in years official rules could be used i.Ir. i’.iacDonald1 s task of officiating at the Quality of play also improved over preceed— YEA, TEAM'.

The Loggers, who had only one man back from last year's quintet and only two men over six feet tall, lost a total of seven games by the slim margin of three points or less. By their great defensive play the Vernonians accomplished the difficult feat of keeping all opponents from scoring more than 40 points. Ten men composed the squad, all practically equal in ability and all on the starting five at one time or another during the season. Before opening conference play, the Logger cagers lost to Forest Grove, split with Beaverton, losing a heartbreaker by two points after winning the first one, and defeated Banks and the Local I. W. A. team. Seaside held some sort of jinx over the Loggers and won the first game by only one point and the second by three points. After losing to Scappoose and St,Helens in league play, they defeated Clatskanie on the Tiger's court and then lost on their home court in the next game held during the same week. Losing to Rainier the Loggers went on to almost upset the league, leading the Scappoose Indians in a disputed game which the Indians finally won by a 29-28 count. Running up against an unlucky draw at the tournament held in St.Helens, they had to play Parkrose and Clatskanie, champions and runner-ups of the meet. After dropping their first game to Parkrose, the Vernonians ran up 50 points, the highest score of the tournament, against Hill Military and then lost again to the fighting Clatskanie Tigers. Like the football squad, the basketball team loses very few men from graduation; in fact only one player will graduate, Calvin Davis, tall forward. With a season's experience under their belts, the team should be much more successful next year. TRACK From a larger turn-out than in previous years,Coach McCoy developed a track squad that surprised everyone. Despite a lack of men in the distance and field events, the Loggers ■won two meets and were very successful in every meet in which they participated. Starting the season at Hill Military, the Logger track— sters ran in two relays, finishing second in one and third in the other. At the Hayward relays in Eugene, the Loggers gathered 13 points and a magnificent trophy in winning the class C division with firsts in two sprint medleys and a second in the distance medley. In a meet at Beaverton against eight larger schools, the tracksters were kept out of third place by a margin of two points held by Seaside. , over Clatskanie in a dual meet by an impressive big .to 29g score, the Vernonians competed in a meet at- Seaside against Astoria, Clatskanie, Tillamook, and’Seaside winning a tie for third place. Expecting-to accomplish great things at the county meet v. e Loggers lost valuable points via injuries. Roeser, counted on heavily in the discus and shot put events sprained his wist and Sunnell injured his knee while pole vaulting, preventing him from running on the relay team and 28°nnin+ dow in the 220 yard dash. The Loggers garnered Z'TklZs £tT4:Ce behind ith 58 PO pdr lls md Sunneii, winning the 440 yard dash and pole vault respectively and tying for first in the 100 yard Beaterfon11? Vlght to comPete in the district meet at spennH ? f0r- P CeS at the State meet- Culbertson with a second place in the javelin, also went to the district meet.

CALVIN DAVIS, as well as running mile and acting as football manager, improved vastly to become one of the best Logger cagers. BILL DUNCAN will be back to play another year as blocking back but will be gone from the track team. BUDDY GEORGE ran many half-miles for the Logger track squad. JACK MCDONALD, voted most inspirational player, won much praise as one of the best Logger guards in history. WALT PARCELLS, unable to turn out for basketball this year, bolstered the track team with his sprinting. BILL TEMPLETON played his first and last football season for the Loggers at center. JUNIORS MIDD CRAWFORD earned his football letter by playing almost every position on the team as well as guard in basketball. EDGAR CULBERTSON, a three—sport man, can be rated as one of the smartest quarterbacks in the county. CLOICE HALL won all-county honors in football, played center on the basketball squad and ran on the track team. WILFRED HOLCE turned out for the first time and ran on the spring relay team. JACK OLIN, three-year letterman, is one of the bulwarks of the Logger liJfc. BOB ROESER, another three-sport man,specializes on long punts although he plays end at which position he was named on the all-county team. BEN SOEJIMA was a consistent basketeer who sparked the Loggers to several victories on the maple court. CLAIR SUNNELL, versatile athlete, played left half in football, guard in basketball, and ran on the sprint team. JIM TEMPLETON acted as track manager and is slated for the football and track managerial positions next year. FRED THOMPSON will not be back next year leaving another guard position open with a record that will be hard to match. SOPHOMORES JUNIOR DeHART, tall and lanky, will be one of the best basketeers on the squad next year. BERNARD LAMPING, smallest but toughest football player, still has two years to play and to grow. FRED LUSBY, tricky guard, was the smallest basketball player. HARRY LUSBY, with his speed and drive, should break into the starting line-up next year. BOB TINDALL, all-county guard, played tackle for the Loggers and was almost the biggest man on the team.
