We were Gwen Howard, James Nichols, Carl Glanville, Henry Rigsby, Elwood Townsend, Lorraine Parker, Jean Hiles and Myrtle Griggs. We were initiated into the school by an unusual freshman initiation for, instead of the usual pranks, the upper classmen gave us a very nice dinner. After the initiation we took more part in the school activities and our class helped out the athletics in a big way. The second year found us without Lorraine Parker. We were not so green as the first year and helped the school to carry on. The third year we had a new member, Eugene Carpenter. This year was a busy one for us as we were upper classmen. We helped with the “Green R” and the annual, also in the plays. Some of the events during the year were the Junior-Senior Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The last year was one to be remembered throughout our lives. One of the main events was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held in the Domestic Science room on May 23. A lovely turkey dinner was enjoyed by all. We had the same class with the exception of Henry Rigsby. The members were Gwen Howard, Jim Nichols, Carl Glanville, Elwood Townsend, Jean Hiles, Eugene Carpenter, and Myrtle Griggs. -(15)- O

The Prophecy As I travel around the country I meet my classmates of ’41. In the past ten years they have all gained their goals. The first one that I met was Jean Hiles. She and her husband have a large office in Portland. He was once her boss but now it’s just opposite. As I was walking down the street in New York City I saw a tall woman dragging a weary little man by the collar, toward a hat shop. I followed them into the shop and found that it was Gwen Howard. Upon inquiry about the past ten years, I found she had married a wealthy lawyer and now has a family of twelve. Next I stopped at the Glanville Airplane Manufacturing Co. There I found that Carl Glanville is the owner of the plant. He once said that he would never marry but he has changed his mind for now he has a wife and twin daughters. In San Diego I met Admiral Jim Nichols. He was having the usual trouble of a sailor, with a girl in every port. He couldn’t remember with which one he had a date. Next I went to Honolulu, where I met Eugene Carpenter and his wife She is a typical Hawaiian girl. Eugene, after six years of the navy, has joined the Army Air Corps and is now stationed at Honolulu. I went to Pango Pango, South Africa. There I met Elwood Townsend, the last of the Senior Class of’41. He has a large diamond mine which he has been working for the last five years. However he has had some very tough luck. He said, “When my ship comes in, I will go back to the states and find me a wife.” I am now back at my position as head nurse in a large hospital in New York. Myrtle Griggs. -(17)-
