Stately She Stands Stately she stands. our Alma Mater, Bright with the sunlight ot youth: Down through the years our Alma Mater Has stood for brave honor and truth. Blood-red her vines' clinging fingers Bind her walls close to our hearts: Spring-like her memory lingers Through the years though they lead us apart Each stone in her white. gleaming portal Is a symbol on symbols piled high. A monument glowing, immortal A sign oi Youth's star in Liie's sky. -Juliette Claire Gibson

With each succeeding year the list of those who have passed from the portals of Eugene High and entered the world of reality, lengthens. We, the Senior Class of l945, are adding about 270 names to that record. But even as we leave these halls and all the pleasant memories that they hold for us, Eugene High is making pre- parations to open its doors to another group- the class of '47, and so the wheel of education turns endlessly. Yet, it seems as though it were only yester- day that we were sophomores wandering be- wilderedly about the halls of this huge struc- ture and asking seniors where to find rooms 2l5 and 3l2 or how to get to the library. During that first and, as usual, difficult year, we entrusted the task of leading us in school activities to Don Hlebechuck, Freida Koppe, and Lidy Lu Swof- ford as president, secretary, and treasurer re- spectively. Under their direction we made our formal debut by presenting the Hobo Hobble, the annual sophomore dance. Using decora- tions of clothes lines, log stumps, and old clothes, we gave the auditorium a somewhat realistic semblance of a hobo camp. Unfortunately, Don, our sophomore presi- dent, departed in our junior year as did also our sophomore adviser, Mr. Parks. However, we found other talented leaders to guide us through this very successful year in the persons of Cal Hersey as president, Bill Hutchinson, IUH vice-presidentg and again Lidy Lu Swofford and Freida Koppe as secretary and treasurer. As juniors we suddenly displayed a real interest in our various preassigned activities, and with the assistance of our advisers, Miss Hayes and Mr. Goodnough, we planned and presented Club 45, our lunior Dance, preceded by the assembly Stagedoor Canteen , both of which proved enjoyable events. However, our crown- ing achievement was the lunior-Senior Prom, Reverie Rendezvous. This formal ball, under the guidance of Dave Stone, was one of the most colorful dances given during the year and ac- cording to most critics surpassed in beauty the majority of previous promenades. As seniors, we have found ourselves in a whirl of activity-activity which has made this year one of the most spirited in the recent his- tory of our Alma Maier. Glenn Warberg, serving as our Senior Class President, has worked co- operatively with Vice-President Bob Moffit, Sec- retary lanice Murray, and Treasurer Shirley Kissling on the many tasks to which a graduat- ing class falls heir. ln addition to their regular duties, these class officers directed the presenta- tion of our semi-formal dance, The Snow Ball, which, as its name suggests, was based on a winter theme. But now all these events have become mere- ly memories for tomorrow, and as we leave we cannot help looking back and regretting that they are over. ln any case, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for the cooperation which our advisers have given us during these three years. With the experience of the past be- hind us we feel that we have little to fear from the future. A daily session . . . S. Kissling, B. Moffitt, Miss Hayes, J. Murray, G. Warberg, Mr. Goodnough l7
