Helen McDonald and Wayne Griffith were the only new members to start out with us on our long and tedious way. Richard Hale, Dale Boswell, George Follett, Glen Long and Bill Car- per left the class during the year which left us a total of 23 members. The usual activities were carried on during the year. When we entered into our Sophomore year we still had our 23 members with one new one present, Marcella McDaniel, who transferred from Wallowa. Bill Kernen, Jack Payne and Ernest Nicoson left the class, but the last two members re-entered the following year. The Freshman initiation was prepared at the beginning of the year and a good time had by all, especially the Freshmen ! Our third year of high school was started with 18 members. Thelma Miller transferred from Pennsyl- vania but at the end of the first semester, she re- turned to her former home. Wilma Kennedy, a former class-mate, joined us a few weeks after school started. Margaretta Thomas transferred here from Craigmont, Idaho. The year was spent getting proceeds for our Junior-Senior banquet which we presented at the end of the year. One of our classmates, Ivan Simonsen, had to drop out of school due to illness. He was able to carry on his subjects, though, and will graduate with his class this year. Our last and final year in high school was started with 18 members. Patricia Dunn, Lou Harwood, and Betty Nelson being the only new members. The last two com- pleted their high school education in three years so they became members of our class. Margaretta Thomas, Bob Hammack and Jack Payne left during the year. Bob Hammack was called to the Army in November, ’45. We had previously honored him with a party and gift. In February, '46, Jack Payne was also called to the Army and a party and gift was given him before he left. All the boys have been very active in all the sports while they have been in high school. The girls have taken their place beside them in the field of sports and activities.

Gekeler The 1945-46 Junior class has been a fairly active one. On December 13, 1945, we presented a three-act mystery-comedy, The Ghost Chasers . The entire class took part fn it, either in the cast or on the production staff. The play was defin- itely a success. During basKetball season, the Juniors sold hot dogs at every home game, the proceeds going to the fund for the Jun- ior-Senior banquet. Through competent managing and salesman- ship, the Juniors netted a good profit on this venture. On April 18, 1946, came the all-blackface minstrel show presented jointly with the Sophomore class. We succeeded in obtaining Vr. 0. P. Weigel of La Grande, talented musician and entertainer, for the feature attraction. The show was written and presented by a committee composed jointly of Juniors and Sophomores. The Junior-Senior banquet is planned for the night of Kay 24, 1946, at the Foley Banquet Room in La Grande. All of us' are looking forward to having a good time at the banquet to round out a very pleasant year. Officers elected to serve the class for the year are: President............Dale Clark Vice 1 resident......Bob Kalmbach Sec.-Treas...........Billie Jean Wiles Sgt.-at-Arms.........Wendell Gekeler
