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.

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.

» 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.

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
