Class of '45 A wonderful senior year started off with a weiner roast in September in Tony Cunha's grove. When the hilarity around the camp fire had died down, the girls gathered at Brown's for a slumber party. In the morning Mrs. Brown and Barbara served a delicious waffle breakfast for the class. Class officers for 1944-45 were: President ................... Mildred Penney Vice-President ................. Janey Center Secretary-Treasurer .......... Shirley Coleman Advisor .......................... Mr. Center Our first attempt at making money was a food sale and lunch in the church basement. Chicken and noodles was the main dish. On Valentine's Day the seniors bought ice cream and cake to treat the student body. The senior class spent a delightful week-end at (censored) from (censored) to (censored), 1945. Baccalaureate was held in the Echo Methodist Church on Sunday, May 6. The seniors came down the aisle wearing suits of every shade and style. Finally the great night arrived. On May 11, ten girls in pastel formals, and two boys in suits marched up the sidewalk, around the fountain, to their places on the school lawn. Janey Center gave the salutatory address and Mary Lois Cotton, the valedictory. We were fortunate in having Dr. Roben Maaske, president of the Eastern Oregon College of Education at LaGrande, for the commencement address.

Class of '46 The junior class of 44-45 started the year with §100 in the treasury. Gradually they picked up and gained §125. Then more was added by the selling of hot-dogs and pop at basketball games. This year the first string football line-up was composed of four juniors and two seniors and had a very successful season. Also the basketball squad was composed of three juniors and two seniors. Since many of the regulars this year in athletics were juniors, prospects for next year look excellent. The officers this year are as follows: President ................... Ernie Rohde Vice-President .............. Jim Meechan Secretary ................. Frances Correa Treasurer ................. Frances Finch Sgt. at Arms ................. Bud Jordan On March 24, the junior class gave their annual banquet in honor of the seniors. Twenty-four juniors and seniors and the faculty members and wives were served a delicious turkey dinner in the Pendleton Hotel. After-dinner speakers were: Ernie Rohde, toastmaster; Mildred Penney, president of the senior class; Jim Meechan, student body vice-president; Shirley Coleman, senior secretary-treasurer; and Franny Correa, junior secretary. Following the banquet, the juniors and their guests were entertained by a movie at the Rivoli Theater. We, the members of the junior class, wish to congratulate the senior class of 45 for their successful term in Echo High School.
