» 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

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.

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
