Four years later, a much smaller number were to emerge as high school gradu-.. ® o r' -itvn vin --u - « '.•■''.'I ''' ates—wiser and more grownup than upon their entrance. With Larry Brady as their president, they completed a pleasant Freshman year. Initiation was an outstanding feature. The wearing of long faded dresses, much lipstick and green ribbons, carrying of worms in tin cans, and crawling up and down inclines was actually enjoyed by most. A class picnic at Arcadia Park ended their first year. In the fall of 1941, fifty-four students returned as Sophomores. Lewis Lane was their chosen leader this time. Since it was the r turn to initiate the new Freshmen, they used their powers to full advantage by making the girls wear overalls and the boys wear dresses. Some members of the class participated in the student body plays this year. A large decrease in numbers the next year did not lessen the determination and spirit of the remaining twenty-eight. Lyle Galloway became their new president. In order to present an original prom, they gave it in December with White Christmas as the theme. Decorations included a large silver star in the center with red and white streamers leading from it, and an abundance of snow on the trees. Although the prom was not a suceess financially, it will be remembered as a success socially by those who attended . The Junior play, The Whole Town's Talking, was a hrilliant success in every respect. In their last year only twenty-two students returned and remained to complete their high school education, but this was to be expected in time of war. Larry Brady was again elected president; Gerald Riley, vice-president; Lorraine Mahar, secretary; and Irene Driscoll, treasurer. Today Decides Tomorrow was chosen as the class motto. Class colors were red and white, and class flowers, red and white carnations. Among the many activities of their last busy year were a dance after the student body plays, a party honoring returning servicemen, and a successful comedy, called The Patsy, which was presented on April 28, with the following cast: ....Marvin Turner ......Phyllis New ........Mary Hall Jonnibel Hatfield ......Larry Brady .......Fred Busch ..Nina MacDonald ......Gerald Riley ...Irene Driscoll The annual Senior skip day celebration was held at Big Eddy. A marvelous time was had by all. A treasure hunt, much good food, and soft ball games formed the major part of the entertainment. During the Seniors' absence, the Juniors hunted for the Senior class key. Bill Harrington......... Mrs. William Harrington Patricia Harrington.... Grace Harrington........ Billy Caldwell.......... Tony Anderson........... Sadie Buchanan.......... Mr. C. Flaherty......... Trix Busty'.1.......... A lovely and luscious banquet was given for the Seniors and faculty friends on May 17. Caps and gowns were worn at the baccalaureate services and graduation exercises. Reverend Backer conducted the services for baccalaureate on Sunday, May 21. The night of graduation, May 24, came all too quickly. Lorraine Mahar was valedictorian and Eleanor Corll was salu-tatorian. At this momentous occasion Dr. Giersbach, president of Pacific University, was the speaker. These inspirational ceremonies will always be remembered by the class as climaxing a very happy period of their lives. This account started out as a fairy tale but is is not ended yet by simply saying, And they all lived happily ever after. There is a big job ahead of them, not only the job of helping win the war, but also of winning the peace. They have already done much for their country by sticking to a job until it was finished.

Econ. class Period 3 - Shows English class what Period 4 - Takes dictation from Miss she knows about diagraming Beck in Shorthand class Period 5 - Practices filing—part of work Activity period - Does stencil art given in Office Training work for the school paper ' A Senior's School Day The typical student of the Senior class jumps off the bus, walks into the school building, puts her lunch away,and walks up the incline to the study hall. After chatting with her girl friend a few minutes, the bell rings and she goes into the outer office where she helps by typing, answering the telephone, and receiving visitors. Between telephone calls, the period serves as a study hall for her. In Social Economics class, she learns many things that are very helpful to one who will soon be away from high school life. Yes—many interesting discussions result from the studies of this class. Boy 1 Is she happy about not forgetting these diagrams she learned in English a few years ago. Do they come in handy? I'll say so. She must have had a knack for English—always could get it. After the 12:00 bell, this Senior is down in the canteen getting a coke to brighten up her lunch. After her hunger is satisfied, she puts in the remaining few minutes in some last minute studying of Shorthand. Making all those little curlicues is fun but she can't keep up on that dictation unless she gets enough practice. The next period she gets some Office Training. This course is something new but she finds it all very interesting —dictaphone transcription, adding machine practice, mimeograph work, learning how to answer the telephone, and other things to do or not to do in an office. Although she might have chosen several different activities, our Senior does her bit for the school paper by adding an artistic touch to the advertising. Every other Wednesday, she bends over the mimeoscope and draws many fine lines. But this isn’t enough to take up her time so she also belongs to the Glee Club where she has another opportunity to give voice to her artistic abilities. Now the bell rings and she grabs her coat, runs down the stairs and jumps on the bus—no loitering after school unless you want to walk home and seventeen miles is just a wee bit too far for that. ? the juniors The Juniors were still one of the larger classes this year with approximately fifty members, although during the year they lost several members to the armed forces. They started the school year out right by electing as their president, Marvin Turner; vice-president, Jack Nance; secretary, Shirley Ray; treasurer, Vona Weidman; sergeant-at-arms, Bessie Lusby. Miss Mr. Robbins were the advisers for the year. t This year, as in previous years, the Junior class led the honor roll nearly every six weeks. They were further distinguished by having two of their members inducted into Quill and Scroll. The class sponsored several dances during the year and from their profits were able to have several class parties. Junior boys made up the major part of the athletic teams because of the shortage of senior boys and they did a good job. f Blithe Spirit, a three-act farce by Noel Coward, was given by the Junior class on February 4. It was under the direction of Miss Willers and was termed the best play ever given by Vernonia High by many. This play was different from other plays given before in being an adult play direct from Broadway where it had been a popular hit for two years. Most of the members of the cast had had previous experience, and • all gave exceptional performances. The cast was as follows: Charles Condomine (An English novelist)... Douglas Culbertson Ruth Condomine (His living wife)..................Shirley Ray Elvira (His spirit wife)..........................Helen Fowler Madame Arcati (A spiritualist).................Marjorie Lolley Dr. Bradman (A skeptic) .........................Marvin Turner Mrs. Bradman (His silly wife).......................j0y Watson Edith (A cockney maid)............................Thelma Hobin Being original, the Juniors had a night club theme for their Junior Prom. The night club was decorated in a south sea island style, the product of much labor. The Juniors, feeling that they have accomplished a lot this year, are eagerly looking forward to next year when they will be seniors and hope to do even a better job then.

At eight-fifty,we find our student quietly but frantically cramming for the history test. Knew he should have studied last night. Oh well, is there anything about history he doesn't already know? Civics is what really takes concentration. Studying one s government and how it is run is pretty complicated business. Ten after ten and it’s English class again. V ith a little bit of everything—Latin prefixes, Greek prefixes, vocabulary words, and correct grammar—our student is kept pretty busy. Literature during the last semester isn't a pushover either One has to keep one's eyes and ears open to really learn something, but it's worth studying. Chemistry finds our Junior engrossed in experiments. If an odor, opposite to the Home Economics cooking smell, drifts through the halls, for some unknown reason, the Chemistry class is always blamed. A little mixture here and a little there and the whole school shares the outcome. Noon hour again and it's about time, growls our Junior. After being a little refreshed ..by the short rest from the school grind, our student spends fourth period either in Physical Ed. or in study hall, presumably studying. A little studying now, and studying later will not be necessary. Fifth period finds the women forbidden class preparing the student for his near-future work for Uncle Sam. Pre-induc tion teaches a student in whatever field he chooses. The boys really study in this class so they can benefit by it later. Last period again I This Junior is either turning out for football, basketball, or track practice to keep the team one of the best. s School's out'. So long, fellas, see you tomorrow. ? sopnomores When the class of '46 enrolled as Sophomores the fall of '43, they numbered forty-three which was a slight decrease over the fifty-four on the opening date the previous year. During a class meeting at the first of the year, class officers were chosen as follows: president, „ _ Sammy Davis; vice-president, Billy Olinger; secretary, Mary Pat Caton; treasurer, Jane Hoberg. Advisers for the class were Mrs. Dement and Mr. Mills. After a football game with Scappoose, the Sophomores gave a dance which turned out to be very successful, both socially and financially. Decorations for the dance centered around the theme of Autumn . A special feature at the dance was a fortune teller who thrilled the visitors to her tent with wonderful promises of good fortune. This was their main social event of the year. In the student body plays, which were staged December 3, a large number of Sophomores took part due to the forth-coming Junior and Senior plays. As far as the honor roll was concerned, as a whole the class just couldn't seem to make it. There was one loyal student, though, who kept up the morale by getting on it. On March 29, a party was held by the class in the Home Economics room and the gym. Ice cream and cookies were served, and it proved to be a gala get-together. The world has set a furious race, The Sophomores have kept up in pace. They scrambled, fought, and finally won, And now another year is done. Though the fires of war have scorched our schools And broken many of the golden rules, Your eyes still seek horizons blue, Goals to be met by me and you. Yet how can I, a mere student explain, The achievements held in the Sophomore name.

Before you know it, we find ourselves in the first period class, Public Speaking. Saying her first speech in front of the class, our student was pretty jittery, but now that's just water under the bridge. Today an auction is being held and our student is prepared to make bids ranging from 2 to $1,000,000. That was really fun. She spent exactly $3,991,865.15. Next period is altogether different. No auction here. That lay, lie, lain, and laid stuff is confusing. For literature, Shakespeare adds to the confusion— Et tu, Brute? Finally, just one more period before lunch. School's pretty strenuous. It really makes a gal's appetite growl. This period, however, is an answer to a hungry gals' dream. Smell that delicious aroma. That's from the Home Economics class. This class teaches a girl the fundamentals and the real art of cooking. Being a purely feminine class, the girls really attract the opposite sex when these delicious smells drift through the halls. Guess the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Oh—there goes that sweet bell. Lunch now—no school any more—for forty-five gloribus minutes. With our Soph's nose back to the grind, the fourth period is spent in typing. Wondering if she'll ever learn to type, our student has a hard time keeping the correct position, having the right fingers on the right keys, keeping her eyes on the copy, and not peeking all at the same time. Well, she's getting better—no mistakes yet. Steady now. Physical Ed. finds our student either playing basketball, volley ball, tenequoits, badminton, or baseball, depending on the weather and the season. Whew—that was a pretty strenuous game—but what if she did get bruised up a little. Having a variety of choices of activities, our Sophomore chose Glee Club and Dancing Club, which later discontinued. Since no grades are given in activities, relaxation is really enjoyed. There goes the bell—no more school today I reshmen They were all dreading the day of initiation; this was to be the 24th of September. When that day came, the boys emerged in dresses, trying their best to keep their trouser legs rolled up under them, and the girls strutted around in boys' pants, turned wrong side out, and sloppy shirts and boots. On September 15, 1943, fifty frightened little Freshmen were directed to the study hall o f Vernonia High School. But it didn't take them long to learn the ropes and feel quite at home Freshmen generally do not have an opportunity to be outstanding in high school activities and this class was normal. They didn't make the honor roll very often but neither were they particularly low in their grades. In one respect the Freshmen made a name for themselves—so many of the boys turned out for football that they were able to have, and did have,a team of their own. They were even allowed to play as a team during part of some leagun games. The officers chosen to lead the class for the year were Duke Byers, president; Owen East, vice-president; Betty 'lance, secretary; Eunice Taskey, treasurer, later replaced by Mary Ann Johns. Mr. McEntire and Mrs. Robbins were the class advisers.

He is quite anxious to get into the school building before the bell rings so he can hold a short discussion with his classmates about the future doings of the day. This takes place in the study hall which he considers home base. To start the day, he spends his first period in Junior Science. Here, curiosities are aroused and the questions, why and how , are asked and answered. Junior Science is the very pride of a Freshman and there's no doubt about it. Next we find him in the Industrial Arts class. Here's where he continues his knowledge and experiences of grade school in making shapely ornaments and furniture from the many different kinds of wood. Of course he has the preliminary work first. But, oh boy I is he proud to display that first pair of book-ends that are the smoothest pair in shop because he took particular care that they would be. Wup '. There goes the bell. It kinda slipped up that time—but now for study hall where he can catch up on that extra assignment. Say-y-y, he is really studying today. I wonder if it's 'cause he knows we're watching him. Now he's got that old empty feelin' but don't get me wrong—that is caused by three long hours and lunch time is making itself thought about. Yes—he's hungry. Afternoon finds him in his English class and he is not quite ready to become settled after that rolicking noon-hour game. He looks innocent enough but we know he has just hidden his classmate's book and had quite a giggle because now she can't study for that test tomorrow. It may seem mean, but after all, she did plant a tack on his desk chair and it made him kinda sore—a I her. Get the point? Yes, he finally did settle down to studying, much to the pleasure of the more studious ones around him. Fifth period rolls around and that means Orientation class. You just can't imagine how he improved after a few weeks of what and what not to do. After classes are over and his books are gathered for the night, our little Freshman is on his way home. So let's leave him trudging up the hill until tomorrow when he will begin his routine of learning. v;-: ■ '?

This was just the beginning of a successful year for the Associated Student Body of Vernonia High School. One of the first activities of the year was the annual Student Body plays given on December 10, 1943, and these plays made a record also with an unusually high profit of $86.90. As usual the Student Body had a Christmas program with the customary trimmings and Santa Claus, too. The Student Body again sponsored the sale of coke this year and found that a saving could by made by buying the coke dispenser instead of renting it. This was achieved by charging six cents a bottle for coke until the dispenser was paid for. Also this year the Student Body sponsored a war bond sales contest, which the Freshmen won. For many weeks, war bonds and stamps were sold at school. A student Body dance in honor of April Fools' Day was given in the I.O.O.F. hall, March 31. To complete a successful year, the annual May Day program was sponsored by the Student Body. The theme of the program was different from other years in being a Festival of the Seasons and Months. With school out for the year of 1943-44 on May 26, all Student Body activities ceased for the summer vacation. THE BOYS'CLUB The Boys' Club, a brother organization of the Girls' League, meets simultaneously with it. The boys have sponsored the noon-hour leagues in interclass basketball and baseball. The schedules and teams have been organized and details arranged to promote the keen competition these games have provided. The annual father and son night was sponsored again this year where fathers and sons met in the gym to enjoy an evening of play after which refreshments were served. THE TIMBERLINE The Timberline staff this year included Jonnibel Hatfield, editor; Phyllis Bonsilaw, advertising and business manager; Eileen Enos, production manager; Mary Pat Caton, Eileen Enos, and Eleanor Corll, artists; Shirley Ray, Marjorie Lolley, Billie Reynolds, Gillette Floeter, Betty Nance, Mary Ann Johns, Pamela Ragle, Phyllis Bonsilaw, Eileen Enos, and Mary Pat Caton, reporters. This was the ninth consecutive year that the Timberline was published every other week throughout the school year as a mimeographed paper. Before that, school news had appeared in the local newspaper. Four members were initiated into Quill and Scroll, International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. The students who merited this honor because of outstanding work on both the Timberline and the Memolog were Jonnibel Hatfield, Eileen Enos, Phyllis Bonsilaw, and Douglas Culbertson. Again this year the Timberline received second place in the annual Oregon High School press contest sponsored by the University of Oregon's School of Journalism. This is the third consecutive year that the Timberline has won second place, after working up from third place to first place. The Timberline staff is again taking the responsibility for the yearbook with the help of a few other members of the student body. MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the boys' Model Airplane Club under the supervision of Mr. McEntire, met during the first semester of the year. Many models were made by the twenty members of the club. FORESTRY CLUB Every Tuesday and Thursday of the second semester, twenty members of the Forestry Club met with Mr. McEntire. The purpose was to study about various uses of tools and methods of fighting fire that are used by the State Forestry Department. The Forestry Club has been practicing up on how to spot a fire with an Osbourne Fire-finder brought from Pittsburg. The members of the club took a short walk out of town to study the telephone wires and insulators. They also took a trip out to Baker Point. ■x. 171'm lI GLEE CLUB This year's Glee Club was composed of fifteen members under the direction of Mrs. Hearing the first half of the year.

DRAMA CLUB The Blue Masque Players presented many skits for the Student Body entertainment during this past year. Among their performances were a radio broadcast for the noon hour luncheon, a hilarious play for an assembly, skits for dances, and a one-act play. The dramatic trophy was also sponsored by the club and it was awarded at graduation to the outstanding actor in a full-length play. The club started out the school year with just four members: Dorothy HOgberg, Bernice Borton, Shirley Ray, and Douglas Ruh. The second semester was well under way with ten members. The officers for the club were: president, LaRue Moon secretary, Otto Barnell; reporter, Juno Snider. The club enjoyed a very successful year with their adviser. Miss Wiliers. S' } GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association met for the first semester under the direction of Hiss Howe. The officers elected were Wilma Hanson, president, Jean McDonald, vice-president, Bonnie Ratkie, secretary, June Snider, treasurer, and Doris Stevenson, business manager.

Another event participated in by the girls was a theater party held in February. On April 14, ten girls attended the Play Day at Pacific University in Forest Grove. DANCING CLUB Under the direction of Miss Howe with Mrs. Dement as pianist, the Dancing Club was organized in September, meeting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This activity was carried on in the gym and later, when basketball started, in Miss Wilier's room. Ballet steps and exercises were practiced first; then ballroom dancing, the rhumba, and some jitterbugging were taken up. ’• hen Miss Howe left to be married at mid-term, the class was discontinued and the girls joined other activities. GIRLS’ LEAGUE The Girls' League activities were quite numerous in 1943—44 but because of gas rationing, the most important event of the year, the Girls' League Northwest Regional Conference was discontinued. The first Girls' League event of the year was a special get-together held early in the fall to welcome the Freshman girls and help them get acquainted. A few weeks later the Girls' League served its annual luncheon in the gym, charging a small fee and providing a short skit for entertainment. The reward for their hard work was an almost 100 per cent student body turn-out. Several dances were sponsored by the Girls' League during the year. With the gym disguised as a barn by the use of hay,pictures,and cornstalks, the Sadie Hawkins dance was attended by most of the high school students and many outsiders. With the girls being the pursuers and footing the bills, a leap year dance was given after a basketball game. A Queen's i.all was given the evening following the May Day exercises. The last Girls' League activity of the year was and fashion show given in the gym. a Mothers At the close of the first semester, new officers were installed;- Irene Driscoll replaced Jonnibal Hatfield as president; Betty Hall was re-elected for vice-president; Marietta Errend replaced Shirley Ray as secretary; Dixie Stewart,for Dorothy Roland as treasurer. t f: f I The Loggers completed a successful football season with four wins, five losses and one tie. The boys talleyed 100 points to the opponents 101. With the experience and size of the veterans, Les Galloway, Lyle Galloway, Larry Brady, Lewis Lane, Gerald Riley and Ralph kcDonald, the team started off very well. The first three games were won by the same score, 13-7. These were against Nehalem, our old rival St. Helens, and a newcomer on our game list, Tillamook. Then came the second team game against Wheeler. The Baby Loggers won by a score of 20-13. Then the defeat 1 Seaside beat the Loggers by a score of 14--7. Kenneth Carpenter,Seagull back, showed up in that game to make both scores. The next game with another rival, Scappoose, ended as a tie at 0 all. This was a night game with many rooters who witnessed a very exciting game. Then the downward trend to defeat, from home and defeats. At LcUinnville, the Loggers were defeated. All of the last games were away Dallas, Rainier, and Tillamook So much for this year. The past is past and present, present, and never the twain shall meet. As for the future, the team has hopes of having a better year. With practically the same team, more experience, and more size, they should fare pretty well in the race for the title. An inexperienced basketball team greeted Coach Robbins at the beginning of the season. They played three Christmas season games which were all losses. Then started the regular season during which the Loggers lost all but two games. They beat Scappoose and Clatskanie. They fared better against non-league teams. For instance, at Vernonia, an over-confident Forest Grove team came over for a pushover. At the half the score was 19-1 in favor of the Loggers. After that, the opponents came up rapidly but never topped the Logger score. Against Seaside, Vernonia topped their 33 with 39 points. Several of the regular basketball squad joined the Navy, They were Lyle Galloway, Les Galloway, and Bobbie Schwab. They were missed a lot but there were others to take their places. Ralph Sturdevant, in his first year out, saw quite a bit of action. Duke Byers, Freshman, held a spot as forward pretty steadily, too. Freddie Larson, southpaw from Birkenfeld, was almost a regular guard. Dickie Colsen, diminutive guard, lettered for the first time. Veterans were Jack Nance, Gerald Riley, Max Lillis, and Dan Rollins. Other basketball personnel were Duane Lane, Marvin Turner, Jack Riley, Jimmy Ray, Dale Grenia, Don Parker, Owen East, Kenneth Anderson Rudy Sabolino, Bobby McDonald, Lynn Michener, Bill Hall, Don Tiffney, and Darr-0 From a rather large turn-out made up mostly of lower classmen,Coach Robbins shaped out a track team that brought back honors from each meet in which the Loggers participated. The only lettermen who came back were Fred Busch, James Johns, Glenn Justice, Max Millis, and Bob Condit. Vernonia started the season with a dual meet at Scappoose and, although out-pointed by Scappoose, took a few first places besides many points. At the annual Beaverton relays, the Vernonia Loggers placed well up in front in competing against eight larger schools. On the following Tuesday, the Vernonia cindermen met the Forest Grove Vikings in a dual meet and besides winning the relay, took many first, second, and third places, the meet ending with Forest Grove only two points ahead. At the county meet at Scappoose, Vernonia placed second with Scappoose and beat St. Helens and Clatskanie. The relay team, consisting of Glenn Justice, Jack Nance, Duke Byers and Max Millis, came in second. Also the following won the honor of participating in the district Meet; Fred Busch, winner of the javelin throw; Douglas Culbertson, half miler; Glenn Justice and Max Millis, both low hurdlers; and Duke Byers, winner of the 220 yard dash. Joe Enneberg and Dale Roland represented Vernonia in the high hurdles. Glenn Justice and Max Millis ran the low sticks and Duke Byers and Glenn ran the 220 dash. Ralph Sturdevant represented Vernonia in the high jump and Jack Nance, Duke Byers and Darrel Rose participated in the pole vault.

Jack Nance and Fred Busch threw the javelin. Max Millis participated in the runnin ; broad jump. saverton district meet proved to have very stiff competition 3ugh no Vernonia track man got to go to the suaue meet, they still ran off with a few honors.
