Union High School - Bobcat Yearbook (Union, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 138 of the 1950 volume:

.- ■ K ♦ - t Uedicati M This 1949-50 annual is dedicated to one who has been instrumental in establishing the best athletic program Union has known, and to one who has contributed greatly to the high morale of the students. During the last four years the athletic department has been outstanding. With the wholehearted support of the community and the willing and able support of the entire student body, the sports program has accomplished more outstanding awards and trophies than any other period in the histc ry of the school. Without the leadership of John Comisky, Union's head coach, the Union Bobcats would not have been able to attain such distinctive honors the past four years. Students at Union recognize Mr. Comisky’s true worth: so, to John Comisky, coach, teacher and friend, the 1950 Bobcat” is inscribed. 5 “FACULTY page 7, who have guided the students of Union High School through both their studies and play. “ACTIVITIES,” page 19, cover the extra-curricular activities which have brought light and enjoyment to school life. “CLASSES,” page 45, portray group and individual pictures of all four classes; also, are mixed groups working to maintain high scholastic standing. “ATHLETICS page 65, follow the ball teams from season to season through their stream of victories. “CALENDAR page 83, highlights the outstanding events of the year 1949-50. “ADS,” page 91, represent numerous business establishments and individuals who have whole-heartedly supported the annual’s financial burden of publication. 6 S(Cfre U tte ide«tt STUDENT MORALE IS HIGH Union High School has repeatedly been called one of the outstanding schools in the state of Oregon, regardless of size. Visitations have been made throughout the year 1949-50 by representatives of colleges, the state department of education, entertainers, and other personnel. Without exception, all visitors have been excessive in their praise of the school. “The amazing thing,” comments one visitor, “is that you seem to be completely free of any discipline problems. Students are well behaved in the classrooms, assembly and halls. Student morale is high.” 8 MARTIN WARNER Elementary Science Spanish Biology Health P. E.

Anxious students in background look on. These men have done a fine job for Union High School. Last winter, in spite of heavy snows and blizzards, they returned all students home safe and sound. They have co-operated with everyone by taking students home from after school parties, or waiting to bring them back to Union fora game. These favors are not forgotten. )tt rffrftnetiatc 4 tie m9 “Sound, o£ ScCucatcott Burning the midnight oil month in, month out, is this loyal group of directors, administrator and clerk. Left to right are: Merton Davis, Albert Hopkins, Frances Terrell, Alfred Crouter and chairman of the board, William Baxter. Here are worthy men and women giving their time and energies, at all times facing grave responsibilities. Their courage is indomitable. This schoolboard is a good one. Its members merit the public’s trust and confidence. Work done by the Union Board of Directors affects the life and future of every boy and girl in the school system. Union’s directors are determined to meet community needs, and it is their desire to have a top-ranking school which meets high standards of American education. T asiettt 7eaAen Olga Smith, fourth grade teacher, holds visual aids demonstration for P. T. A. President Jean Hutchinson, illustrating the use of the new projector, donated by the parent-teachers, in her own room. Seeing to the needs of the greatest number of students in school within the scope of its own limited budget, is the primary aim of the P. T. A., recently reorganized parent-teacher group. Supporting the school program is another important stand the group takes. Jean Hutchinson, 1949-50 president, succeeded G. J. Bateman who served from 1947-49. Officers of the Union P. T. A. for 1949-50 are: Jean Hutchinson, president; Della Posey, vice-president; Delta Zaugg, secretary; and Agnes Ellsworth, treasurer. The P. T. A. has been active in trying to improve the school. A movie projector was purchased and presented to the grade school. Annual presentation of the Hi-Jinks was given on March 31. All the organizations put on at least one skit to make up the clever program. Five members of the P. T. A. on April 5, cooked and served a banquet to the Young Oregonians. 18 Student 'President Cheerfulness radiates where Larry Wilson is seen in, or about school. He is the 1949-50 student body president, and holds his post well. With dignity and intelligence, he conducts meetings in assemblies, and quietly carries on his duties from day to day. At a special interview, the reporter gathers a few facts about Larry’s school life at Union. Larry Marshall Wilson was born February 15, 1932 at Hot Lake, Oregon. He began school in the first grade at Union, spending his entire grade and high school days in Union schools. , Action on the prexy’s part was demonstrated in the eighth grade when he became editor of Kitten_ Kapers, elementary publication. He was named covaledictorian with Phyllis Mitchell the same year. Throughout high school, Larry has demonstrated his unique abilities to be successful in several different directions, namely as an outstanding athlete in football, basketball, baseball, track and boxing. That just about covers it: he is good in everything. Not only does Larry excel in athletics, but he takes part in Thespian plays, serves as class officer, is a Letterman, sells ads to finance the yearbook, is named as delegate for important state student body conferences, and always manages to accept his heavy duties and responsibilities with a healthy grin. To top it all off: Larry is an honor student! 20 C icertA Successful Walk-Up Student government group are on front steps of Union’s administration building. From left to right are: Clayton Glenn, Watchdog; Darwin Wood, Vice President; Larry Wilson, Prexy; Lois Wagner, Treasurer; and Phyllis Droke, Secretary. These officers were elected last spring. U-Hi s new constitution states that student body officers will be elected in the spring. The seniors of “49” made up a new constitution in their Social Ec. class. It was read to the students in an assembly, posted on the bulletin board for a week, and then voted on. It passed by a unanimous vote. Four candidates sent to the State Student Body Meeting held in Bend late in the spring of 1949, returned, better informed on student body problems faced by schools throughout the state. Problems vary, often according to the size of the school; the most pressing often being disciplinary actions involving not only students within the school, but also problems arising between school and community. Wilson reports that the student council has functioned smoothly this year: no unpleasant episodes have occured to shed unpleasant light either upon the school, or the students themselves. 21 The “Mid-Century' idea was used as the theme for the 1950 Bobcat. This idea was maintained in art work throughout the book by artists Duane Smith and Mary Tucker. Three representatives of the Bobcat staff - Gracia Beverage, editor of “50“ Bobcat; Diane Bronson, organization manager, Gladys Wallis, Feature writer; and Advisor Montana Rickards were sent to Eugene to attend the O. S. P. conference. Many ideas on how to improve the yearbook were brought home by these delegates and put into effect in this 1950 Bobcat.

Beautiful and exciting was the carnival court made up of the queen and princesses who wore crepe paper dresses of different harmonizing colors.

Bi-weekly a printed paper is issued to subscribers, in addition to numerous complimentary and exchange copies in circulation. The paper this year was improved by using larger pages and by elimination of the center sheet.

Fire drillers have their meetings once a month, and they also meet with the local fire department on Monday nights. Duties of these boys are to ring the fire bell; that all windows and doors are closed; and to see t students are out of the building during a fire drill. 42 TfCctKonceA 4 Members of the city and school firemen councils look through the charred ruins of the Union High School gymnasium the morning after the fire occured. The Union High School building is shown in the background. Clouds of gloom hung over the students at Union, the morning after the guymasium had been destroyed by fire. Where the day before the students were gay and cheerful, thinking of their last weeks of school, for days after, the classrooms were filled with unhappy kids gazing through the windows at the charred mass with unbelieving tearstrained eyes. They just couldn’t seem to realize that this building, in which they had once had so much fun playing basketball, softball, leading yells , cheering at games, holding their concerts and the tournaments, was no more. Without a doubt, this was a crisis that involved not only the students, but the townspeople as well. The scene above is one that every student of Union High School will always remember and regret. 43 At the May Day Dance Saturday evening, May 13, a huge crowd witnessed the crowning of Queen Gracia, the first.

Frank Baum, Kendall Baxter, Gracia Beverage, Barton DeGraw, Lyal Zaugg, Dick Trump and Larry Wilson are the only ones of the Hutchinson original students to spend the entire twelve years of schooling in Union. Other seniors moved here throughout the years giving the energies of their brains and brawn to the cause of the class. Graduation draws close and reveals more honors for the seniors. Thus, they leave Union High School with confidence and high hopes for taming and conquering the world. 51 Marilyn Powell Pat Devlin Donna Hannan Mark Sackos Lois Wagner Larry Wilson Kendall Baxter and Frank Baum Barton De Graw Joyce Beck Phyllis Mitchell Duane Smith i-yal Zaugg Gracia Beverage Anna Bates Ken Aldrich Stanley Parker I_ou Murray Diana Bronson 53 Special Sducatiouat a td ateClectual pe ztun,e4 Jeanne Tartar, freshmai student, shows definite speech ability!
