Class of '47 One bright sunshiny morning in 1935, Kenneth Jordan, Eugene Berry, and Helen Brommell walked up the steps to grade school. It was their first year and it would be four years before anyone would join them. In the first of the fifth grade they got company. Dale Wilson, who hod been going to Shenendoah, Iowa, joined their daily class and their after-school tomfoolery. The next year Doris Rauch joined their company. She had been going to Alpine school and Pine City school before coming here. In the eighth grade Ethel Crow joined them in their classes. She went to The Dalles the first four years, Birkenfield the fifth year and Rathdrum, -Idaho, the sixth and seventh.before here. In their freshman year they were joined by Patty Finch, who had gone eight years to Pine City. In their Junior year Junior IcVicker came to stand up with them for their motto, Carry On . He attended in Payette, Idaho, then Hermiston, Umatilla, and back to Hermiston for sophomore year. In their senior year they were surprised to find they had a war veteran in their class. This was Clyde Nofsinger, who left them in the month of April to go to a higher school of education. The senior year of these students was a very prosperous and happy one. Between all the fights, thrills, chills, and school teachers, they had quite a time. On December 29th, 1946, eight seniors boys and girls and Bill Bohms and his wife left Echo at about 6:00 A. la. Destination -Lehman Springs. Purpose - Senior Sneak. They stayed there three days, and had three days of the best times in their life. Later on they had a short vacation in going to Pendleton to have their pictures taken. The seniors leave high school with feelings of sorrow; This is what should be said, but personally I don't believe there is one of them that is sorry.
