He was a four year basketball lettermen and a awo year football letterman. He was chosen on the all-state first B team. He was Student Body President, his Senior year and was co-- Captain of the football and basketball teams.- Eddy was one of the most well-liked boys in the high school during hfe four yearsc Glenn is now in th.e naval reserve awaiting his call. Grant will miss you, Glenn, and we all wish you were coming back next year The Navy is getting a good man. LURA LEA SMITH Small but mighty is the phrase that justly describes Lura. Every minute of her four years at Grant has been filled with ac- tivity for her. Among some of the things that have kept her busy were: the Editor of the Prospector; member of the Torch Honor; Lettergirl; Junior and Senior class plays; member of the Carnival Staff and Treasurer of the Student Body She's not afraid to tackle anything,even the largest and hardest Physics nroblem that Haberly can concoct, and although only 5 ft 1 3 4 in. tall she has been the dynamo of the student body We 11 miss Smitty's gay little laugh and the sound of her wooden shoes running down the halls RALPH BRUCE Brucy , as he is known to every one, is the tall,dark,hand- some type. He played basketball four years and was c.re wf the hardest-hitting full backs Grant has known. Ralph has played with the band for four years, and when ever you heard a rr.iv L bat-tat,- you know that Bruce was some place in the vacirity playing his drum. Ralph is a good-natured guy that we all like. He' ''i'll be especially remembered for his remark in a hair lip way Might as well, nothin elso to doM GRACE LOHP The smilin' gal from Seneca who wanders around school with- out making much noise, and being noticed for just that reason. After three long, hard years of stumbling along with the band, and dragging her clarinet along behind her,she decided to give it up and just lead the leisure life of a Senior this year. Probar bly the most industrious member of the Pajfjcr Staff, she spends most of her time typing for the Prospcctbb, and C3 Mrs. Meeks in the Junior play last year she displayed her dramatic ability. Pago V. LEOLA WELLS c Leola had her mind set on something so big, that nothing--not even the thought of tho last days of her Senior year could keep her herei The Nurse Cadet Corps was the answer tc her prayer for a way to go on and become a nurse, so she decided to get into it while she still had a chance, and she left a month before school was out. We can picture our beloved Leola, calmly chewing gum in the midst of a battle somewhere, making some soldier comfortable reasuring him with one of her wry, original jokes. Good luck to, Leola, We'ro proud of your decision, and proud of you. GORDON MULLENNEX We 11 always remember Angel Eyes for throe main things—his dork, good looks, his dramatic ability, and his athletic ability. Usually rather detached, he tended to his ov n business very effi- ciently, one of the reasons, perhaps, why virtually every gal in school had a crush on him at one time or another. He proved to be a rather good actor, especially when tho part called for a change of voice into falsetto. He was a two-year winner of the Basketball All-Star Medal, President of the Lettermon, and a fine all-around athleto. Soems the Navy has all tho luck--he s wait- ing for his call which can or could come any timo. MARY JOHNSON It is quito an honor to be Valedictorian, but around school, Mary is known as the girl with the little waist and bright smit, who is Valedictorian of the class, too. Mary has her eye and heart set on a clothes-designing career and seems to have made a pretty good start on that road, as she designs and makes many of her lovely clothes,herself, She has a good head on her shoulders this talented gal, and we know she'll go a long way,in her career unless some rat decides she belongs in a home---his. ANTHONY SILVERS Tony,we call him is the kid from down the river, has attend- ed dear old Grant for four years. Tony had a peculiar trait all through school. If you saw him in town Sunday night, you could always count on him not being at school Monday.He is one of those fellows that lets life go its way. He was the official artist and sign painter of the school this year He will be remembered by every one as the one who tho paper and annual staff couldn't do without. Anthony can do it is tho slogan. Page L LYLE HIBBARD known to every one as Lyle F, Ly!e vil.1 bo remembered os one of the hardest tackles to get through and one of tbo easiest oar- sons to got along with that ev r came to Grant Hi, He cransfored from Prineville to Grant;, his Junior year and iumodiatly proved himself worthy of high praise by making the first team. Lyle will be remembered mostly for his utility to stay out of trouble and still be in trouble all the time. BILLIE JEAN FATE Whenever you hoar someone laughing, ten chances to ono it will be Fate” roaring over some corny Joke. Billie has supplied a good share of the excitement at Grant during her four years and ha3 had an active part in almost every activity. A member of the Lettergirls; Torch Honor President; a three year band member;Edi- tor of the Annual; member of the Paper Staff; Junior and Senior play cast; and one of our most talented songbirds are only a few of the things that have kept her jumping. WeTve yet to see Fate on time for anything; and if she makes it to graduation in time to march out it will be the biggost shock we vo had yet HENRY HANKINS This fellow made good ds a class officer in three of his four years. Ho was on the football team his Senior year and was. in the bond till his Senior year. He seemed to have a weakness for red heads during his Sdnior year. Honk is the tall,dark and handsome typo, too. Ho stands about G ft. and has black curly hair. His favorite subject was English . He will be remembered for his moronic way of saying Hello sonny,” his active part aa Senior Class Vice President;as the typical high school boy' in the Senior play, BEVERELY SUKSDORF The tall good-looking girl, who stole the show at the Senior play, has also just about stolen everyone's heart since she first arrived at Grant this fall. A very active member of the Seni or Class by being Class Secre tary; one of the top students vieinr? for the honor of Salutitorian-is Beverely Early in the year Beverely was taken out of circulation by our Student Body President, but you still might say that she is the hcneyf: cf the Senior class with her ever-present smile and her dignified and gracious manne Pago :■ T JEAN FINLAYSON Jean has risen above four years at Grant to become one of the most dependable Seniors, Her sometimes caustic wit has touch- ed most of us, but a sparkle in her eyes and the little giggle that follows, serves to let us know she really doesn't' mean it. Her parts in our plays, in which she’ has Uocn a fcypica 1 overbear- ing wife, have been dispatched with ease, but she plans on being a stenographer for the rest of her .life. Well, we think, maybe not quite the rest. HAROLD STEELE ;• ‘ 'V ' £ ; •„s. . Scrap Iron, cqme -to Qrant th'ia year, from Redding;California. He. made the football team and was -a ver ' effejcrtivfe;:blpcken. He Is easy-gbing, careless, and likeable.

Wayne the Wolf, is., now a-Seaman 2 6 in the Navy.'. Before he left, which was in November; he managed'to;become the -head-man in Grant Hi's Swing Department, through diligent study’on ’’The In- tricacies of Sax Tootling. Wayne is probably, the ’ lea t hurried of any of -the '45 graduating class. He f.s the easy-ebme, easy-go, what-the-heck-difference-does-it-make type. We wonder •: if Navy . routine and regular; hours and do this--do that has changed him any. We sincerely doubt it, and we don't want him to change too much, any way. Good luck to you, Phili, wherever you go. WAYNE MCKINNIS McGinty as he is affectionately called, ..,,wlll „pmbably be- come a Grant Hi Legend. The way he played football, combining headwork, teamwork, and speed, was always something beautiful to behold But the nice thing about his success was that he remained the same modest, smilingly retiring I.IcGint, and for that we loved him even more. He, too, left in the fall to become a Sailor, but we are looking forward to the time when ho 11 come back home and raise a whole football team of little iicGint's. Page H RICHARD PORTER Richard had several rich names such as: Einstion, and boss mans. He comes from that land of the Indian summer, Seneca. Porter got along with every body and is well liked. He was a mental wizard in mathamatics, and couldn't be called slow in any other class. Porter will be remembered for his bc er room remark, Mwho's got a toiler made? ZETTA GIBSON Zet the pep kid is what she would officially go by at a ball game. You sow her doing cortwhcols in front of the rooting section, and at school parties you found out she could dance. And amoung other things we found out about this versatile bomb shell, is that she's also quite a speaker and can keep any party lively with her jokes. Zetta probably has the moat ambition of anyone in the Senior Class, and v c know her tr.lant will be missed next year RODGER BELSHAW Rog, our Mt. Vernon transfer, distinguished himself at Grant by being an all state forward on the basketball team and a cracker jack end and tail back on the football team. Rodger was another fellow that was easy to get along with He will be remembered for his old car that had to have the gas line cleaned every ten miles and his eighteen-gallon hat. His good natured personality and willingness to cooperate made him an outstanding student BETTY HICKS The cute gal of the Senior Class Is Betty. She's small, well-built and has a terrific laugh if you can get her amused enough to use it. Betty is the one who negotiates the big busi- ness deals between the Canyon City Bottling Works and our thirstv school parties, and she seems to do it very well, too. She claims she'll go to college next fall, and we hope so; but looking at her and Herb, who are looking at each other, we wonder-----we lust wonder 1 MARVIN PUSHEE Marvin set himself up as dictator of the letterman's room this year, and the number of stolen sweat 3hirts dropped fast Push, a3 he was called by every one was manager for two years. He studied very hard all through high school and had jobs' after school. All in all Marvin was one of the most studious boys in his four years. He will be remembered chasing some poor luckless freshman down the hall because he hadn% done what Marvin told him to do and his willingness to help out at any time. Page 5 APTER Vf. 1 I was reasonably proud of '•.■yf. After twenty long years in the entertaining world, I had ? ?c”-r a ;A-b o? the heartbreaking sob on a revival of the old £oap Opera ''John’s Otner Wife. The job was all right, but it was making: a oour-nuss of me, because I never had enough to eat except cn p_-y day. So when the show headed west on tour, I came too, with nothing more on my mind than a squar Grant County meal and maybe a different job. We never got close to my old home, though, so when we arrived in Los Angeles, I was terribly lonesome and hungrier than ever. After I’d finished sobbing on John’s other Wife. One day,I went to my square foot of apace which they affectionately called a dressing room. As I entered and sat down to keep from bumping my head on the ceiling, I had a funny feeling that this day was some- thing different. Little did I know I Soon there was a light knock on my door and who should bounce into the room but RALPH BRUCE whom I hadrft seen since my Grant Hi days, twenty years ago. V ouch he said as his head struck the ceiling, and sat down quickly in the chair that I indicated, Bruce I I cried, This is wonderful 1 But whatever are you doing here? I was out there, boomed Ralph, thought I’d drop back a tit and see you Recognized you right away. I noticed he was very nattily dressed, and his fingers were well-spattered with diamond rings. When I ask him whose bank he’d robbed, he just looked embarrassed and said, No one’s bank but I married an heiress who insisted I dress well. He looked unhappy until he saw some chorus girls standing on the outside of my door; then his face lighted up, and he happily smiled and left without even saying goodbye. I sishod and started to leave too, when I heard a voice that I couldn’t mistake even after twenty years. Shut up and don’t sav another word, Ralph Bruce, or I’ll cut down your allowance I I looked out to se® JEAN FINLAYSON in flowing robes, simply dripping In diamonds, dragging a struggling Ralph away from the chorus girls. I was amazed until I remembered I had read she’d Inherited a cool million from a long lost rdativo about a year ago. She steamed by my door so fast she didn’t even see me, with Bruce’s ear caught securely between her thumb and forefinger. Page 6 I took a nickel I’d Veorfkeard .ng for a cup of coffee and headed out of the building calcic rrar: stiic.ck :htc a scrawny little man whom I knocked down. I. picked him up 'vnd was about to say hew sorry I was when I saw tha c it 7c.r raa. ly HAROLD STEELE behind those sunkei’ cheeks. It is you, Isn’t it, Steele I asked him. Yes, I suppose so, ho said listlessly, and then remembering his manners, Hello, Billie, how arc you? Fine, I said bravely, considering pay day had been a week ago. your muscle though, 3coc:io; It’s gone 2 Ho looked dreamily at how the coat hung in folds from his shoulders. I paint, ho said simoly, a3 if that explained everything, Houses? Iasked doubtfully. Ho regarded me with undisguised disdain and drew himself to his full five foot and si;; inches, No, ho said with cold dignity, pictures, and swept away with his clothes flapping about him awkwardly. ’Walking on down the street, I v as suddenly confronted by a tall, slim man wearing dark glasses. In his hand was cup which had few coins In It. Help the blind, he said, please help the blind. I clutched my nickel fiercely, but my conscience won at last. I was about to drop it in the cup when the man grabbed mo and pulled me around a corner. He took off his glasse.% and then I almost doubled up laughing when I saw it was RICHARD PORTER with an good eyesite as he’d ever had. I couldn't let you do It after I saw who you were, he said laughing. I swallowed gratefully and asked him If this was his regular business. Ho told me it was and it made a very good livingibr his family, too. Well, who finally hooked you. Porter? I wanted to know. He grinned bashfully and showed me a picture of a dignified looking blonde woman surrounded by about five little boys viho were staring fascinatedly at tho camera, Why, that looks like-------not GRACE LOHFi I gasped. The same, he said proudly, then putting his dark glasses, back on and the picture away, he said goodbye and moved haltingly off to cry out, Blind--help a poor blind man. I stifled a giggle and continued on my way. As I crossed the street, I failed to notice the light was red until I heard a voice ago 7 bellowing, Got the cuss-cuss off that street, ya ignorant fomalo before I get mad and start losing my temperi I whirled and faced LYLE HIBBARD in the blue uniform cf a City Cop. Why Hibbard, I exclaimed, you, of all peoploi He cut mo off with-- Hi Fate, good to soe ya, derned if it ain't. Woll, you're holding up traffic, you know, better get the cuss on across unless you y ant to get run over. I hurried on in frewfc of honking horns and looked back °nly long enough to see tho blue uniform bobbing around and heard a harassed voice bcllov ing, Will you get the cuss-cussout of the v ay before I lose my temper I sav a likely-looking cafe and decided to have my coffee here. As I seated myself at the counter, I glanced over and sav a well-dressed man coming toward mo. This is almost too good to be true, I thought, and all in one day too, for it was nono other than GLENN EDDY hiding behind a simply darling mustache. WeHUM, he said and sat down, What arc you doing here? I told him about my job which I wasn't so proud of anymore, and he thought there was a place for me on his oaper. I agreed to See about it in the morning, and then we fell into talking about the good old days and all the old gang who had made up the '45 Graduating Class twenty years ago. I told him about seeing some of them that very day, and he said, Well, here's anothersuprisc. for you, then. I looked where Eddy pointed, and my mouth fell open; I saw a tidy LEOLA WELLS behind the counter briskly polishing a coffeeurn. At the sound of our voices, she turned around and smiled a vride, toothless smile. I , she said, oufre oo? She deftly set in place a sot of false teeth and told me to close my mouth. Does it hurt? I whispered. Oh no, she sMd. I divorced Henry for it, though. He's working in a leather factory back East now, tanning hides. Henry, I gasped. Yes, buff I haven't been Mrs. Hankins for throe years now-- ever since he put me tnrough a ringer when we worked in a laundry together to collect accident insurance so he could pay hisinabtlne debts. I choked on some coffctf -nd she continued. I had my mouth open yelling and-- suddenly her jaw started-moving vigorously! Page 8 and down with a clack-clock-clack-clack. Lcola slipped the teeth out nervously and went back to her- polishing. I looked at Eddy. He shrugged and said that when she got ex- cited her teeth always stuck. As we payed, Lcola said ood-i and we said goodbye and left. Eddy said his helicopter was right -’round the corncr,and since he had to go out and cover an assignment on a circus, why didn’t I come along? I decided I might as well, so we stepped into his Hcllco and in a few minutes were hovering over the circus grounds delicately, Eddy brought it down gently nd telling me to be back there in an hour, he went off on his assignment. I v andered through the grounds and suddenly came upon thean- imal section. I saw a large crowd gathered aroung the lion’s cage. There was a sign that said, MLady Maria, Greatest Woman Liontanbr on Earth. The act was very good, and then suddenly, I was seized, with an odd feeling X had soon this Lady Maria somewhere,before. Then it hit me. That was IIARY HOHNSON, or I would eat those pink silk tights she was wearing. she made a flashy little bow and scurried out of the cage,just missing being torn apart by a wicked blow aimed in her direction. The lion who had aimed sighed and went back and lay down. I came to the carnival grounds. There was one sign that stood out before all the rest. It said: Madame Mandrake, Mind Reader Magnificent. I examined the facade and being broke, was about to turn sadly away when a voice above me said, 'Veil.hello, Billie. I looked up to meet the ticket taker's eyes and fainted when I saw it was GORDON MULLENNEX. I awoke in a darkened room which was amply supplied with slightly soiled rugs and cushions. Incense stung the aii; and then I noticed a little platform and a few chairs. A small woman dres- sed in filmy robes cane through a door by my cot and said, Well, Billie. Gordon told me, but I couldn't believe it. I felt very tired as I said, Ilello, LURA honey, There was not time tft do much talking as her act started in a minute. Dis- closing my financial status, I told them I’d better leave. Stick around, Gordon said with a hint of pride in his voice, the Utae woman’s pretty good. We’ll let you In free. iBwiauBiou uno niysica exass to myself. s back In 1945 and nodded knowingly Page After It was over, I wished them continued success and hap- piness and made it back to the Hellco just as the hour was up It seemed that Eddy covered a few night spots for bits of gossip to put in his column, rr.i when he asked me to go, I said I love to, thinking perhaps there would be food somewhere along the line. The first place we went to was appropriately named Toni’s Greasy Spoon. We were mac at the door by a fZashy blonde who showered us with dearios till wo bed ordered, 'ihen opening her mouth, she roared the orders into Toni A dark head appeared Yes, love, a sad voico said. ' ANTHONY I Eddy and I screamed at the same time.He cautiously came out and said Hi. There were tears in his eyes. Thi-thia is my wife,Mae, he said, blowing his nose bleakly. Mae, meet some old friends of mina- uh--not—the—the Eddy’s? No, no, we assured him hastily and got out of there as soon as politeness would permit. Depressing, wasn't it? Eddy mumbled. Yeah , I agreed. So we went to a very expensive place with an orchestra and floor show. The headwaiter, smiling and nodding and rubbing his hands to- gether came toward us. I closed my eyes r.d punched Eddy. Don’t look now, I said, but I think this would be our old friend. WAYNE MCKINNIS. ’ Sure nuff, it was, and it seemed awfully good to see him, too. McGinty said he liked the job fine because it gave him a chance to run interference for a change instead of always carrying the ball. Check your hat,sir? came a pleasant voice behind us. Turn- ing we saw BEVERLY SUKSDCRF smiling at us, and then she saw who Eddy really was and was out of thut cage in one second flat. Glen —dear, she cried. Beverly] At last I’ve found ycu, he said. Beverly was too happy to say any more than hello to me, and they left quickly, to find a preacher, Eddy said, his mustache aquiver with excitement. McGinty rejoined me and we watched them leave. ’Nother one bites the dust , he said sarcastically as he led me to a table. Why so cynical? I asked. No reason, he said with a far-away look in his eyes, and I said I believe you, McGint's hair was graying at the temples, and he looked very unhappy as he told me about how, just as ho found out’how ho felt about ZETTA GIBSON, she up and married WAYNE PHILLIPS. And to add insult' to injury, 'he finished, they're here I . •' Where? I asked, but he had hurried away. The orchestra began to play an old, old song that I hadn't heard for over twenty years-- Don't Fence Me In. I winced at a sour note from the Sax Section, I was afraid to look, but I did. You guessed it. There sat Phillips, pumpin' the old Sox for all he was worth and grinning from car to ear at the samo time, same as ever. My clapping was interrupted by a high pi tched £'ggle, followed by Dahling J It you. Isn't it? Of course it is.' ha-ha ha. Dahling, how ah you? In a flurry of feathers, chiffon and spun glass, and roeking of some $500.00 an ounce perfume, BETTY HICKS sat down beside me. Betty -hi, I said, somewhat taken aback. She bestowed some lipstick or} my cheek with a kiss and pulled me to my feet. You must meet some of my friends, you must, she giggled '5 Oh--lc tr s talk, I said. Talk, talk, she flipped her long fan around hor head, That is all I do, simply all, but very well. She told mo she had married a very rich man foL’ his money and then divorcod him for an old beau named Herb, ' but Herb had gotten tired of waiting in the meantime and so, well, here she was Don't you ever get tired of all this, I asked her then. For an instant her eyes clouded over, but just as quickly they were sparkling again, Don't be silly, dahling, she said, I love it I She ilitted away as the lights grew dim and the or- chestra played an introduction end a slim sophisticated woman came stGft1edJ,to sinS in low, sultry voice and glided among the tables wickedly. As she came to mine, the song ended, and seeing me she sat down. — Page I I 1 Why, honey, she drawled, don’t you--remember mo? She clapped her hands together and winked;. and I decided maybe ZETTA GIBSON hadn't changed too much after alt Wo laughed and she told ao how she'd finally hooked Wayne, by getting him this job in the. orchestra. She dashed back to change,and I decided it was about time for me to go. I said goodbye to iieGint end was just going out the glass doors, when they burst open and a dark, familiar looking man made an entrance and spo- kin'j loudly, asked if there was a table hero for tho great MARVIN PUST2KE. Quito a flurry was stirred up getting a table for the great actor. While he stood and tappod his foot importantly, I said Ilello, Marvin,did pretty well for yoursolf, didn’t you? I beg yoah pehdon he said icily and swept dramatically away . I had no money for a Taxi and was walking home when one pulled up besido mo. A friendly voice said git in, Pate. Thera was no mistaking that drawl. Before I looked I know it was ROGER BELSHAW. Hi, Rog, I said and opened the round glass door and set- tled back on spun glass cushions.

'-no rf a T .nl f r SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1941 we first entered Grant High as green Freshmen. Pete Baucum, elected class President, led us through the horrors provided by the Sophomores and upperclassmen. Our teachers added to 'our general confusion by forcing us into English I, Home Ec., General Science, and Orientation. Twenty- six of the original thirty-three survived the year, and seven boys even proved their worth as athletes and received letters. We were represented by Wayne McKinnis, Pete Baucum, Dennis'Bryan and Merle Cox in football and Wayne McKinnis, Glenn Eddy, and Ralph Bruce in basketball. Eleven of us played in the band. We were out for revenge in our Sophomore year and took out our excess meanness on the new Freshmen. Twelve members of the band were Sophomores. Dennis Bryan was'elected president, but he left at mid-year, and vice-president, Henry Hankins, took over. Leola Wells was secretary-treasurer. Wayne Me Klnnis Pete Baucum, Dennis Bryan, and Gordon Mullennex played football. Glenn Eddy, Ralph Bruce, Gordon Mullennex, and Wayne McKinnis were on the basketball squad. Leola Wells and Pete Baucum were on the Carnival staff. All in all, we were well represented in the various activities that year. We started our Junior year minus three old classmates, namely, Pete Baucum, Jane Ward, and Merle Cox. 'Lyle Hibbard joined us soon and partially filled the vacancy, (if you can fill a vacancy with a vacancy.) At our class election we chose Wayne McKinnis,' President; Ralph Bruce, Vice President; and Gordon Mullennex, . Secretary-treasurer. Our boys did well in athletics and Mullennex and Eddy were all-stars in the sub- district ”3 basketball tournament. To raise money to give the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom' we put on a play, ' ''Damsels in Distress. Our class advisor, LaVelle Stockdale, coached th6 play and also took part in it when Jean Finlays on became 111. We gave the Banquet April 7th and the Prom April 14th. We, the class of 45, started this, our last year at Grant, with 22 members. Gordon Mullennex was elected President; Henry Hankins,'Vice President; Betty Hicks, treasurer; and Beverly Suksdorf, Secretary. On our Sonior Sneak” we went to Strawberry Lake. There we ato, hiked, boated, and in genoral had lots of fun. Our plays seem'to have a peculiar jinx on them. This year Leola Wells got sick, and Beverly Suksdorf had to take her place in The Big Blow-up. After tho play, the play cast, the director, Iflss Stockdale, and Mr. Haberly had a snack at Benson!s. That covers what the class as a whole did during our s tay at Grant but what did we as indivic.uaIs?

The Juniors entertained the Seniors with a farewell banquet on January 24.

No, it couldn't be, but oh yes; it was So back to school we must go, and back to school we went. The first two v eeks were taken up with getting books, student body tickets, trying out the subjects, and dropping the subjects. As usual, the shifting of some pupils from a very large class to smaller ones took place, and this resulted in the two soohomore Einstein mathematicians, Glenn Gray and Bud Lohf, landing in the Advanced Math.class with upper classmen. The last of the second week was the time for electing class officers and a student council member from each class. Our sopho- more elections resulted in the following choices: Kenny Olsen----------President Glenn Gray-----------Vice-President Pat Phillips---------Lecretarv Ray Crawford---------Student Council Representative Class Advisor: Oral Einshaw The sophomores entered into all of the outside activities of the school and did surprisingly well in each group. On the football team there were three boys who were good enough to make their letters in this sport. They were: Marvin Merrill, Glenn Gray, and Darrell Van LEuvan. • The sophomores in the band are somewhat more numerous, being twelve in number. The twelve are: Joe Eruax, Elvana Coffey, Mae Jeanett Keerins, and Tommy Mitchell, clarinets; Kenny 0i3enj Hay Crawford, §ud Lohf, and Bonnie Pushee, cornets and trumpets; Kita Burke and Janice McKrola, saxaphones; Billy Hyde, trombones- and Evelyn Shideler, susaphone. The Torch nonor oiety .■'.as a good showing of sophomores: - Thelma Campbell, Janice McKrola, Margaret Johnson, Glenn Grav Kenny Olsen, and Tommy Mitchell. In the Glee Club of twenty girls only four girls of the Sophomore class belong. These are: Aloma Boone, Lucille Ecnjchel Janice McKrola, and Evelyn hideler. The fine basketball team started off with three soohomore boys, but this dwindled down to one--Marvin Merrill. Our class is the largest one in school and probably will con- tinue to be as long as it remains here. The ratio of bovs ito girls is 17 to 18.. y The first school party given by cur class was one for the Enterprise football team. program of music was prepared includ- ing rfdeotJons by tho following; ‘ .'nice Johnson, La Vonne Roberts, Helen Loscly, the Crav .fori l.-j.otherst •cHi'ola 8c Dickens, and Coach Johnson. Zetta Gibsor. mac- her f-irre appearance at this party and was a big success. After the program,, lancing was resumed. Refreshments were served later, and everyone went home satisfied Incidentally, we won the game. Wo have our bad points and our good points. Wo arc rowdy at times and agd.in sometimes we arc interested students. ihe sophomores, future juniors, will have an even greater part to play in the '45-'46 school year, and with this in mind we are going to do the best we possibly can toward faking this a better school, and toward upholding our school for our sake and for the sake of those boys who arc upholding our country's rights, who are former SONS OF OLD GRANT HIJ.' - Tommy Joe Mitchell %1 Page FRESEMAK CLASS EISTCEY Last September, thirty-one enthusiactic freshmen entered Grant Hi. They were somewhat awed by the fact that they were be'’ ginning their high school career. Every thing was new to then, and they hoped to make a success of their freshmen year, A few weeks after school had started,the Senior Class gave the Freshmen a party which was held in the gymnasium. All of the Freshmen were told what costumes to wear and what to do to enter- tain the rest of the student body. Most of them were very rood sports and gave the audience quite a great deal of merriment. That was about all of the initiation they received except fckc regular trips up the stairs for cokes at noon for the uoocr class- men. The Freshmen have tried to live up to the rules and regula- tions and to RESPECT the upper classmen. There aro several Fro3hmcn in the Band: Janyce Lemons, Allen Craven, LaVonne Roberts, Herman Hendricks, Ruby Sanders, Charlotte Johnson, Dorene Weatherford, Janice Johnson, Harry Soain, Rov Johnson, and Laurel Silvers. The Clas3 Officers: President Vice President Secretary Student Council Member Student Representative Hugh B. Fato Jr. Charlotte Johnson Donald Hardwick Kerman Hendricks Janyce Lemons The Freshman class have enjoyed this year very much, and we want to thank the upper classmen for being so lenient and heloful. When we become upper classmen, we hope that we can take ’-our places capably, and wo will try to keen uo the best traditions of Old Grant IIi;H Janyce Lemons . • • ■ '.C' ACTIVITIES Lc-' Clsyi tp j£c c ' BAND One of the most important activities in school is the band. Of all the extra-circular activities, it has the largest represen- tation of the students. During the year we have two goals. First, is to furnish plenty of pep at all ball games. Second, is to work on the little more-refined side for our spring concert, which all in all adds up to much hard work. This year’s band has 35 members. They are interested in music and have been willing to be put to a few little inconveni- ences for their band work. In the fall we were kept busy playing for the football ganea. Then came basketball season. We have played for all of these games. As tournament drew near, we began practice on a drill. Though we worked hard on the drill, we were greatly rewarded by the many words of praise we received. Immediately after baskefball season,we began work in earnest on the spring concert. This not only calls for hard work on the part of the band as a whole but on the part of a number of indi- viduals for special numbers. Also, In the late spring we were entertained at a banquet given us by the John Day Chamber of Commerce. This has become an annual event, and every band member looks forward to it. It is given in appreciation and recognition of the band’s value to the community. One of the high-lights of this banquet was the giving of $5,00 In War Savings Stamps to each of us as a gift by Mr. Herman Oliver. This year's work started with the addition of two new in- struments. They were glockenspiels. They have really added a great deal of Flash” to the band and are played by two Flashy little gals, Betty Hicks and Dessie Butler. During football season our majorettes made a snappy showing. Joyce Trowbridge had her group well-trained. They were Nina Simmons, Helen Mosely, and Gloria LeRoy. We, the band, give our thanks to our director, Mrs. Dickens, for the fine work she has done and the patience which she has had with us. We have completed a very successful year, and those of us who will be back next year are looking forward to another s cessful band.

We hope that it Trill be a bettor one in suc- ceeding years, but with Mrs. Pickers ac oar director, it will be improving and progressing, At the b®Sinning of the school year, the Gist Ciut started with twenty members. Later, the number bocamo eighteen as Mary Johnson, Gloria LoRoy and Marion Ridgeway resigned, and Janvce Lemons joined this organization. Glee Club has been very interesting this year, as Mrs, Dickens had a new group of songs which v ore enjoyable to study and sing. The girls who were in the Glee Club, year 1944-1945, are: Altos: Ruby Sanders (1) Evelyn Shidler (2) Charlotte Johnson (1) Janet Gibbs (1) Pearl Henshel (1) Lila Cunningham (1) Second Sopranoes: Janyce Lemons (1) Mary Lou Dickens (3) Marcella Marchel (2) Janice McKrola (2) Sopranos: Janice Johnson (1) Dorene Weatherford (1) La Vonne Roberts (1) Joyce Smith (1) Alania Boone (2) Iris Van Leuvan (1) Lucille Henschel (2) Betty Parker Our schedule was: Singing at several assemblies: carol sink- ing at the Grade School and High School at Christmas; Singing at Junior Class Play and more recently at the Spring Concert in which we had two songs and a one-act Operotta, THE NIFTY SHOP. We per. formed at both the Senior Baccalaureate, April 29, and Commence- ment, May 3« ---sd l w TORCH HONOR SOCIETY With Mr. Haberly as our advisor the Torch Honor Society- launched Jts second year in Grant Union High School. The standards for membership wore sflLll at the same level, thus several sophomores became new members In October, election of officers was held and the following officers were elcctedT Wayne J!cI Inni$ President Billie Jean Fate, Vico-Procidont; and Dessie Dell Euflor, Secre- tary-Treasurer. A standing Membership Committee was appointed consisting of: Lura Lee Smith as chairman with V ade Officer and Tommy Joe Mitchell as co-workers. In November, our president, ftayne MeKinnls, received his call for the Navy; therefore, Billie Jean bocamo president, and Laurio Wyllio was elected Vice-President. On the last day of school we sponsored a school picnic that was onjoyed by overyonc. The purpose of the Torch Honor Society is to promote higher citizenship and scholarship. It is something in reward for studonts with the highost grado points and extra-curricular acti- vities. There were nino charter members with us at the beginning of tho year, and the now members brought tho total ut to eighteen. Through the example of the Torch Honor Society tho 'virtues of goodwill, bettor citizenship, and scholarship seem to spread more rapidly.

This was due largely to the vary capable work of our editor. Cessio Dell Butler, and the artistic talents of Anthony Silvers. Usually there was approximately 10 pages of nows and gab. The catch was that a nicklo charge was p]a cod on the paper to students The cost was worth it, howovor, as the proceeds wont toward paying for the cover shoot and sending tho paper, free of charge, to many of tho boys from Grant who arc in the service.

Rig e Z $ u ATHLETICS JcjzX%£A yru2s z of - a THE LETTERMEN CLUB The 1944-45 Lettermen Club of Grant Hi started the year with 15 returning Lettermen. At the end of this athletic year the number had increased to 24. Of these 24, there are now 4 In the Armed Forces and three more to bo called soon. Lettermen officers for the 1944-45 year were: Gordon Mullen- nes. President; Ralph Bruce, Vice-President; Lyle Hibbard,Secretary Treasurer; and Wayne Phillips. Sergeant-rt-Arms.

Lettermen and club officers for next year are Wade Officer, President; Laurie V yllie, Vice-President; and Dick Begg3, Secretary Treasurer. The John Day Chamber of Commerce entertained us at a delici- ous dinner on Monday nights, as they have done in previous years. On April 6, 7, and 8, the Lettermen went on their annual picnic. They journeyed to Izee, and again enjoyed two days of good old out-door camping. This year, as Coach Johnson nor prin- cipal Haberly could go, Johnny Hosier went with us.

PROSPECTOR GRIDMEN REACH STATE MB SEMI-FINALS Goaoh Tom Johnsonb 1044 edition of Grant Union Hi prospector Gridiron Mighty mites were elimfoated of any ohance to recapture their 1943 State nB crown as they gave way to a tricky T form- ation team of Arlington Honkers on the Grant home field in the Eastern Oregon Play-offs last November ninteenth, This game was the finnale of a tough nine-game schedule which showed the pros- pectors coming out victorious five times, being on the short end of the sooring three times, and ending up all even in one game0 Hie Redmond Hi Panthers were first on the 1944 Prospector schedule, and the Redmond boys helped us off to a poor start as they sanctioned out a clean-cut 6 to 0 triumph in a night game played on the prospector home field. Hie Prospectors broke into the win column the following week as they booted the Prairie Panthers all over the field and tM it came out with a 31 to 0 victory. In this game Grant lost the services of Right-end Jack Gleason for almost two weeks; Right Halfback Gordon Mullennex had a very puffed up ankle and was also unable to see action for a two week period. Next came a night game with the Richland Eagles on the Grant field. The scrappy Eagles gave the Prospectors a rough time for awhile, but Grant ended up on the long end of a 12 to 0 score. An all important game with the Enterprise Savages was next for our Prospectors, and although a swift Savage-back broke away on the first play of the game and rambled all the way to the goal line to give the Enterprise lads a six point advantage, the Pros- pectors, showed the Savages that they had no right to claim the Championship, as Grant came through with the Savages scalp in a hard fought 18 to 12 battle. The following week we played a return game with Enterprise on the Savages home field. After a very hard-fought battle with both teams driving deep into scoring territory, the score at the end of the game was 0 to 0. This however knocked Enterprise out of the running for the B Championship, as the Prospectors had one victory to show over the Savages. A return game with the Redmond Panthers followed the Enter- prise clash. After holding a 7 to 6 halftime lead, the Prospect- ors gave way to the strain of the much heavier Redmond team and were defeated for the second time of the season by the Panthers 18 to 7.

' confident and held only a slim 12 to 6 halftime advantage, they turned on the steam in the last half to smother the Panthers 59 to 9. This completed the regular season for Grant, but wo were undefeated among B schools and therefore lay claim to the Eastern Oregon Championship. Wo wore irimediately challenged ty tho undefeated, unscored upon Arlington Eonlvers, and the game was played on our home field. The winners would play the West- ern Oregon Gridiron winner for tho State ,:B,f Crown. Arlington grabbed the jump on the Prospectors at the first when they ran up a quick 7 to 0 advantage on u long run by a fast-stopping back named Christopherson. Grant was always in there trying, but they ju3t couldn't mako that score, and Arlington added another 6 points to their total in the fourth period to walk off with the Championship 13 to 0. Dospito tho defeat by Arlington, Grant had a very succossful season. With a few more breaks we would have done much better. We played the latter part of tho season minus the services of Pullback Bud Trowbridge who was out with a serious back injury. Twelve boys were playing their last season for Grant Union, Seniors on tho team were, in the backfield Co-Captains Wayne McKinnis at the Left Halfback and Glenn Eddy at Quarterback, Hard-hitting Fullback Ralph Bruce, Fast-stepping Right Halfback, Gordon Mullennex, and back, Harold Steele, On the line wore: Ends, Roger Eelshaw and Henry Hankins; Tackles, Wayne Phillips, Buck Hoselton, and Lyle Hibbard. Two Juniors, Jack Gleason and Glen Chandler were playing their last for Grant because of their call to duty for Uncle Sam in the spring. Statistics for the team show: 2412 yards rollod up from scrimmage, 88 firstdowns; and 182 points to opponents 51. Our game average from scrimmage was close to 250 yards,and very good average for any team. McKinnis lugged the mail for 14 touchdowns and 82 points to take individual “scoring honors for the team.
