FOREWORD We are all riding Space Ship Earth into a new century. Portland, Oregon, Grant High School Students, Parents, Teachers, Custodians, Secretaries, Administrators, and many others, arc part of its amalgamation. We have been, we are, and are becoming something more. We have been fellow travelers in a long line passing the same way hearing, seeing, and feeling; dreaming, planning, learning and yearning in and out of the same portals of a location termed GRANT ... in fifty years, approximately 25,000 graduates of us, and who knows how many more in eons to come. a memento of happiness, of spirit, and of history of a part of your life to you. YOU were there! And so was Miss Ethel Euer, for 38' 2 years, who deserves special commendation along with Perry Buck, a student of 1974, and Miss Lydia Anderson, for their superb research and writing ability. Maurice Binford captained the whole project, ably assisted by Steve Gann. Dr. L. Mila Warn wrote the Foreword and edited. The names of the rest of your crew who attended meetings and contributed in many important ways are: Chairman Maurice Binford To this Blue and Gray line this book is tenderly dedicated. It is the result of an imaginary Sidewalk Superintendant’s knothole view of fifty years of ceaseless activity in which everyone, who touched or breathed Grant in any way, contributed, sometimes pioneered, and, again, helped to create the Grant Image, a GRANTONIAN. Your committee has attempted to show you a picture, bits and pieces gathered, blended, and kaleidoscopcd into something that only YOU can finish. YOUR eye must do the seeing, add the vision, supply the final color and nostalgia of the laughter, tears, and ad-dended anecdotes not in print . . . YOUR OWN MEMORIES . .. drawn from a word, or a picture, a glimpse again in times, perhaps long lain fallow, but now once more blooming and freshly green in retrospect. If, to some, this book seems too saccharin, to others incomplete, and to still others, “I would have done it so and so,” forgive us. Lack of Omniscience, limited time and space, or funds to pay anybody, has created only a work of love.
