We want to wish you a great deal of luck and happiness wherever you are in the future and hope you will remember Grant High as much af- fection as Grant will always have for you.

He is known to his friends as Dumb Bob; of coursep It is only a nickname and Is used only in fun Bob made his letter in football his senior year, and as Coach Johnson said He made more tackles than any other second team player. He appears mischievous enough at timesp but we consider Bob to be on the quiet side for if you can ever find his no3e out of a book you are pretty lucky0 BONNIE MAE KEERINS— Bones our chubby girl with the I dareya look in her eye half the time is the most friendly girl to every type of person in school0 When Bonnie is in the vicinity you have to keep on the alert for any and all sorts of pranks. Bonnie entered Grant Hi as a scared freshman, but didn’t take Bones long to learn the ropes� She takes her scholastic work in the most carefree manner and even the thought of being expelled doesn’t change her like- able personality. Bonnie has had the time of her life in her four—year stay at our school and we hope that she has enjoyed it as much as we have enjoyed her. Life won’t be as big a pScnic as was high school Bonnie but please don’t let it change you to the serious side of life for we want to remember you us your carefree selfo JACK GLEASON— Mi sh” was known as our personality guy. He was extremely popular and known by all in Grant High. Jack was president of his olass during his sophomore and junior years. He was a three—-year letterman in football earned a letter for two seasons in basketball was Master of Ceremonies at the Junior-Senior banquet in 1945 and he took an active interest in the class play his third year0 He was chiefly known as the woman hater his first two terms at Grant Obion but when he became a junior he changed his ideas and we then thought of him as quite the Ladies Man0 We never however thought of him as being conceited—-it was always a cheery hello to everyone. When his junior year was finished he left to go into the Navy. JOYCE TROWBRIDGE—Joyce our pep gal was also known as one of the personality students. She took an active interest in all school activities and was president of her class her freshman year. For seven semesters she wa3 a Grant Union yell leader four years a drum-majorette and held parts in both plays presented by the class of 546� Along with her personality she has produced a very excellent schol- ia stio record for the whole of her high school life� Joyce has no idea what kind of life she would like to lead after she has graduated but so far she managed well in keeping up the morale of many service men in John Day and vicinity during the war period� Not hearing her familiar hi echoing through the halls or catching a glimpse now and then of Joyce breezing along to and from classes will be a change for us to become accustomed to� Trow” as she was nicknamed is Salutatorian of her class� GDHDON WILSON-— Zeke our best-known figure in athletics is a four-year basketball letterman, has earned a letter for three years in football was an all-star in the basket- ball tournament held here for two seasons and v as elected captain of both the football and the basketball teams this year� Gordon is a very sociable fellow end well-liked by the Grant Union students� His half-year of Public Speaking cured him of placing hi3 hand in front of his face while speaking and taught him how to present a talk in front of a group of persons� His pep talks and opinions expressed in assemblies in front of the student body served many times to arouse spirit in us when school spirit was at Its lowest and to spur the teams on to vic ories against odds� Zeke’s romances are alv ays keeping Grant guessing too� CLIFFORD BELCHER”— Charlie Burp the nickname by which he is known to us all was the most perfect figure of muscles and brawn in Grant Hi� Cliff finished his junior and senior years at our Grant High school after spending the first two in his home state of Missouri� From the two seasons he spent playing football one season’s work rewarded him with a football letter and gave him the privilege of being a Letterman after being initiated of course� Cliff is a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow who really doesn’t have a serious care in the world which is one reason you could depend on a smile from him any time� He keeps us guessing with his romances too� DESSIS DELL BUTLER——Dessie has in her three years of schooling at Grant Union been one of our most active students� At the end of her sophomore year she was nominated for student body treasurer, but was unsuccessful� The next year however she again was chosen as one of the treasury nominees; this time she echieved victory� She has been trying all year to sell three or four Student Body Tickets to several persons but no one has had enough courage or the sufficient moola to help her out� Dessie has managed in keeping the books bal- anced in keeping the school funds showing at least a few dollars to the good, end in managing to have the friend- ship and admiration of us all. Dessie is Valedictorian of her class HAZEL OIWIFGHAM----Hazel is the gal who wins Grant High honors on the field days at the end of the school years Everv yeer of her entrance in events she has beer the out- standing girl athlete of Grant Union, end to prove her ability she has had e record of being a lettergirl for four yeers and hed the honor of being elected president of the organiza- tion her senior year She has slways been a very efficient ffice girl and especially in her last year was a helpful assistant to Mr- Haberly. You could nearly any time of the day see her in the office writing out excuses, hurrying up and down the halls on an errand, or taking the absence list. Hazel is talking of wedding bells end probably in the fall, they will ring for her. HELEN MOSELY'— One of Grant’s sweetest, smallest and best- liked brunettes, is how we might term Helen. Her vivacious giggle and capturing personality with a 11 the humor you could ask for in one person have had a substantial .art in meking ner one of our school's most popular gins Her popularity gained for her the positioni of student-body secre- tary during ner senior year and also secretary of tne Senior c l8ss Aitnougn Helen's voice is one of the nicest in school she participated only two years in the Glee Club of Grant High We nave enjoyed listening many times to her splendid singing on numerous school programs and at school parti es ROGER BODERSTEDT-— Tnenever vou saw R.ger coming, vou mir.nt as well have started ami J i ng right then for if you engaged ntm in a conversation., tnen or anytime he r.uld almost assuredly leave you twice as cheerful S3 you were before the meeting He seemed t- have the moe t a 1 i-ar. und pleasing end beaming disposition of any Grant Hi student. io many of us; accomplished rn outstanding feat in his .wo years here except, tnat wonderful exploit if attaining friends and admirers Y u© is tne kind of good-nature that 0 1.1 the world loves Roger Roger wili soon j . in tne Mer nan t Me ri ne BOYCE TROWBRIDGE-- The cheerful blonde-naired athlete who lives f. r the love :f playing on Grant Union s athletic- teams is departing fr.m us and our senool vacating a very imp r .ant position in the field of athletics of Grant Hi His sturdy frame has been dominating the sp rt scenes in every season of his four yeers of participation His service as one of Grant’s best athletes was rewarded by Bud receiving a football letter f or three years and a letter in basketball for four years His junior year he received a sericus back injury while on the football field thus preventing him from ploying football v.hen he v,es a senior, 3ud says he will be glad to graduate and says he v� ants to raise cattle. PATTY LOU ELLIOTT---This five-foot-one-inch red-head has been in every activity of Grant Hi's from band concerts to three-act plays. Patty Lou is a four-year band and two-year Glee Club member, a two year letterglrl, and has held oarts in the two olay3 the Class of '46 has presented. Although Patty leaves us this year, her excellent record as a Grant Hi student will linger as a standard for the scores of future students, for she rated higH scholastically, too. GLEN CHANDIER, JR.--One of the Grant High Prospectors now serving his country, is thi3 small but well-known stu- dent who left for the Navy after playing a stellar game of football at Madras in November, 1945. If anyone could think of a Joke or prank to blay upon some unsuspecting by-stender, Glen was the boy. Such occasions were his delight. It was In hi3 sophomore year that we saw him make his letter in football and from then on, he proved to be one of Coach Johnson's and Grant Hi's fightenest guards. He held the position of secretary of the Lettermen'3 Club for one year when he was a senior. We hope Glen finds the Navy 3s great a friend as Grant Union has tried to be to him. IIARY LOU DICKENS-- Blondie to many of us, will depart from Gras t HI leaving three and a half years of success in making friendships and gracious reminders for the future Grant students. Seven semesters in the band and Glee Club have earned for her ? position that will be difficult to fill in our coming years. In the l st semester of her senior year, she beg«n her college training to be one jump phead in her future more than she har anticip ted. She came back to Grant H gh though to graduate with the rest of her class in I.lay. She leave's behind her a record in scholastic ■-• • - schfevements and musical achievements. Mary Lpu is studying to become a teacher. LAURIE Y.YI4JE-- The little speck of dust v.ho could upset any ball cartier on the football field v.hen all others had given ud the chase, as Mr. Johnson would say, is the most appropriate description ve could find for Laurie. Three years as a football letterman, four years in the band, and the vice-presidency of the Lettermen's Club have placed Laurie in our minds as one of the best all-around fellows. That little speck of dust was also president of the senior clars. TED LIVIMISTOK-- Favorite of mwny and liked by all is how v;e could consider our student-body president's position. Five-feet six-inches vith every inch full of vln, vigor, and vitality is Ted. His manner bursts with friendliness; his personality is directed toward making everyone hoo y. These .re the quailr.ies which characterize him and distin- guish him from the o her: And next year hen the sport seasons come around e .1! often think of the numerous times Ted war instrumental in nulling the teams through to Victory. BERNIE C V: 3CM- - - - of f- f inest and one of the heaviest tackl :■ -hri Gr'; High .r ■ ever produced is our friend, Bernie Hii or -nt personality in school was as impres� sive . .. . iis rlaying ability and excellent record on she football field. He can remember Bernie as a three-year let mormon In football, a one-year letterman in basketball. .?nd as the vice-president of our student body his senior year. If you accomplish nothing more than making r. s many friends as you did in your high school career, Bernie, you will have done more than many of our country’s greatest men. BETTY 1ELCH----Whenever we think of Betty, her charming smile and pleasing personality shine forth among the other remembrances. The junior end senior years of this alluring, chocolate-brown-hair d girl were spent in Gr nt High. Her ways iv..' wou the envy of all of we Prospector students and al so r:v: added many new associates and permanent friends. Her artioIn ation in school events were marked by her status as a I •' ' ! ri for one year and through her part in the play which • or sen ted its junior year. HERBERT McC-IVTRl Tit herb or Herby as vre knew him, mad6 a hit with e eryone, boys and girls. Herb was also one of the Class of ’46 that spent only two years at Grant Union, but who accomplished much toward making schoolday associations and lifetime friends. He appeared in the play which his class gave thier last year in high school and became a one-year football letterman his last and second year at our school. Herb came to us from Mt. Vernon, and he . ill be remembered by his charming manner with the girls. ILENT I'D-- Pied has spent two and a half years of her high school learning rt Grnt Hi. V.e thought that she might spend four ; n s • h u-. but the Dayville high school claimed -;r ,.c -oruuned there for her sophomore and half o •. r lifter ■ r ■ She came back to Grant Union, her se: Tor so ■ ;ors o graduate with her many friends here. Also. : hf : ; she gained sufficient credit to warrant her ' ’ - - membership on the Lettergirl’s Club. Her one „uid only ambition that we know of is to get n out of school. Ilene i3 one of the several red-heads in Grant. High,, end in her lest semester, she found another red-head a boy of course, combine the two and what have you?--two red-heads, naturally. A person witn red-hair usually has a quick temper, but not Fied She hss a gentle and likeable disposition,. WADE opFIOER---VVhQn speaking of dominating personalities, our thoughts most naturally tarn to one of Grant Union’s impressive figures, Wado Officer.. Every year of tne four he has spent here have seen Wsde participating in nearly every activity this school has offered to the students,. Wade has been a clas3 officer nearly every year of his schooling at Grant High end in his senior year was presi- dent of the Lettermen's Club., He wes successful in earning sufficient merit in four years of football thus nB king nim a four-year Letterman His friendliness toward all and his '29 jallopy of which we are all fond, have made him one of Grant'3 most fsmiliar personalities Ted Livingston Tommy Joe Mitchell % ’ CLASS HISTORY In the year of 19A,2t twenty eight enthusiastic Freshmen entered Grant Union High School, not knowing whet they were feeing, or they-probably wouldn’t have started� We had fun through that year. The initiation was the main event of the year� Joyce Trowbridge was elected President and led us through the Freshmen activities. , In ’£3 we started again, but with something else in mind, that was to give the Freshmen some of what ws got when we were Freshmen, It was a great disappointment be- cause we couldn’t initiate them like we ware initiated� We started out with twenty students, a few weeks after school was on its way, Dsssie Dell Butler transfer- red from Pendleton and Robert Francis from Idaho, Kenneth Roberts dropped out about the.half of the yeer because of illness� Jack Gleason was again elected president of the class� As juniors we looked back on the memories of the years before� V7e ordered our class rings in November, which we did not receive until the lpst part of the school year� The Junior .Class play CUSTER’S LAST STAND was one of the successful events of the year for us� The feast consisted of Jack Gleason, Dsssie Dell Duties'v Glen Chaud lar, Zane Crawford, Betty-Welch. Helen Mosely, Patty Lou Elliott, Mery Lou Dickens, Joyce Trowbridge, Wade Officer, Ted Livingston snd Hazel Cunningham� The Junior Senior banquet was another big event of the year� Cpl� Pete Baucum, who wa3 fortunate enough to be back from over seas was with us and his graduating . class� Other guests were the faculty and the school board members� . In April the ;Jun5.ors again entertained th$ Seniors with the, Prom in . the Grant Union Gymnasium� We had lost one of our -class members by this time, Gloria LeRoy� Herbert McGetrick from Mt� Vernon; Betty Welch from the Boise Academy, Charley Belcher, and Roger Sodax-stedt from Springfield joined us� Yfe were happy to have these students added to our class� Jack Gleason left at the close of the year to Join the Navy. We were sorry to loose him-, but Uncle 3am came fli� st. Zane Crawford also left, us at the close of this year. In the fall of . 45 we started again with the en- rollment of- twenty-one cheerful Seniors. It wasn't long until one of our boys left for the Navy. We were also sorry to lose Glen Chandler. James.Beals also moved to San Diego about the middle of the year. At. the end of the first semester, Mary Lou Dickens dropped out to go to college at La Grande, and started studying to be a teacher. Ilene Pied joined us in our Senior year. She has been with us several other years for only short stays. In December we put on the play,- Wt ’'OTHER-IN-LA’.'. The play cast enjoyed a wonderful evening at the home of Dessie Butler after the play, and she served delicious refreshments. Hazel Cunningham and Joyce Trowbridge each earned letters for four years. Patty Lou Elliott is also a letter girl. There are also others who are coming in this year to the Lettergirl organization. At the early part of our Senior year we took our Senior Sneak, which was a trip to Strawberry Lake. With snow on the mountains and a chilly wind blowing, we stayed close to the fire most of the time. Vs had fun and plenty to eat. Rowing the leaky boats an.i bailing the water out, was the thing that occupied the most of the time.' The Juniors entertained us with the Prom on the 22nd of March and the Banquet followed later on April 12. Seniors who helped with the program were Helen r.osley and Dessie Dell Butler with the class will; Ilazel Cunningham with the History, and Ted Livingston, Ilene Plea, and Joyce ■Trowbridge, the Prophesy. The Seniors of 46 are sorry to be leaviri ; dear old Grant High. We hope that the Seniors next year will have, as much fun as we have had during our years here. Son� of us may not have been here all four year?, but I know we have all appreciated the years we have had to- gether. Hazel Cunningham CLASS POJt: BY THE SEA Down by the rocky shore of the sea Where the breakers dash and roar; It was there that I used to sit and dream And watch the seagulls soar. It was there that in the springtime I used to go down to the beachr It was there that I used to go fishing .And I always expected a cratch. Every day now I can hear the sea And the gull. If I listen right well And at night there are other strange sounds mixed in I can hear then from my barbed-wire cell. For I am a prisoner of war in Japan And, Oh how I long for the day When I am taken back to my little home In the good old 7. S. A. I will walk again down to the sea And watch the breakers roll in I will walk in gardens by my little house, So glad to be home again. I will watch again the seaguls soar. And the fish jumping out of each wave: And if I look toward the village I can see our flag Flying over the home of the brave. Now and then a plane flies across And it s3ar s the duck from their bowers And I bless the day that I was borm in this land This beautiful, fre9 land of ours. Clifford Belcher CLASS WILL We the class of 1946, in the town of John Day, the County of Grant, and the State of Oregon, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, cur Last Will and Testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previoxisly made by us during a period of tempo- rary optimism. We have no specific directions to leave concerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and remarkable virtues• We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be Inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the auditorium of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions; I, Clifford Belcher, will and bequeath my yearn to raise the younger generation right, to Richard Eddy, and Tommy Joe Mitchell. I Joyce Trowbridge, will and bequeath my strong desire for the weaker sex, namely men, to Francis Penton and Elvana Coffey . I, Ilene Pled, will and bequeath my ability for getting out of tough situations in the lower end of the school building to Joy Brisbois and Kenny Olsen. I, Bonnie Mae Keerins, will and bequeath my fashion- able figure and modest temperament to Wanda Rider and Wi3xi fc. Cunningham • I, Herbert McGetrick, will and bequeath my smooth, winning way with the women to Bud Lohf and Darrel Van Lauwen, I, BLrnie Carson, will and bequeath my weakness for brunettes and my favorite expression how should I know to GLenn Gray, hoping he uses it to full advantage. properly used, will insure him against nervous breakdowns re- sulting from overstudy. To the laziest member of the Senior Class-to-be. Bill Hyde, we bequeath Glen Chandler’s ambition. If it is combined with the laziness previously mentioned, the result will be normal activity. We give and bequeath to the Junior Class our well- known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the ex- amination questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an examination, like history, often reoeats itself. The answers, never owned in entirety, have long since been mislaid by us and are not included in this Will. To our good friends, the Sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the next year’s Seniors. To our dear Janitors we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left about. To our principal we give and bequeath a sense of re- lief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our four years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy glories—If any--will owe much to his ex- ample and counsel. To our tea hersjwe bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without whi ci wdVshould have found school life painful indeed , and which wfl much to make it endurable for them. To the Juniors, we give, reluctantly but of necessity, our maxi tie of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it but, since it Is expected of them, our advise Is, nGrin and wear it. Beside these bequests, we leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we the class of 1947, the tes- tato� , have set our hands and seals on this 29th day of March in the year of 1946. _(SEAL) I, Ted Livingston, will and bequeath my ability to stay sober, and never-failing way wlthMiss Payne to Jerry Hankins. I, Patty Loy Elliott,, will and bequeath my aotitude of baby talk and blood curdling screams to Janice McKrola and Mae Jeanette Keerins, so the Senior Play will have more variation. I� Lessie Dell Butler,, will and bequeath my oleasing personality and love of weak, scrawny men to Thelma Campbell. lf Jack Gleason, will and bequeath my reputation for causing a violent uproar no matter where I am to Marvin Merri li.

I, Betty Welch, will and bequeath my adsptness for losing things, including my mind, to Savilla Simmons.and Margaret Johnson.

I, Bud Trowbridge, will and bequeath my wide range of absence excuses anc weakness for tall girls from Pox Valley to Joe Truax and Delbert Willey. To next year's class President- we leave with grave doubts as to his ability to use it—the voice of our good president Laurie Wyllie, which enabled him to overcome all opposition and to orevent others from knowing oooosition existed. Also we leave his ability to keep on good terms with the faculty and a till do as he pleases; in other words, his executive abili ty. To the undergraduate needing it most, we give Gordon Wilson's supply of language, which will enable the recipient to talk more and 3ay less than any other human being. Also to talk more and say less than any other human being. Also we bequeath Roger Soderstedt's store of information, which will make it easy for him to oaas any test in any subject at any time. To the ovor-ambitious undergraduate, Bill Cresap we leave the perfect indolence of Robert Francis. Some people si t a� d iiKas te tlme Robert just sits. This J dplence MY LOST V.EEK END As I climbed down from ray rocket which I had just piloted from Hollywood to New York, I thought to ray- self v hat a boring week end this would be since all my friends were vacationing at the I.Ioon. My thoughts were soon interrupted as a two-wheeled taxi skooted up, and soon I was being whisked down the avenues. As usual the driver couldr.'t drive, and after just barely missing an air-bus whiea also was flying low, I waited very tensely on the edge of the seat for the final blow. It came when we landed m the wing of a sky-trolley. All out of sorts by this time, I started in on the driver. Then for the first time, I realized that I knew tb; poor little bald fellow who was looking so unhappy at tho moment. Good Gravy I No wonder we lit where we did; ’jecause it was CHANDLER who had given me such a bad time When we got back to safety again, I apologized and ther we both broke out asking questions about one another. Mu. i to my surprise I found out why he was still single. It s ,3ms he promised EETTE WELCH back in � 46 that he� d wait e,r her to serve her term for murdering a Social Economics eacher who wouldn’t agree with her Communistic ideas. Poor Bette i The last time I saw her she asked me for a dime to go buy a beer. Leaving Glen with his thoughts of Cette, I walked on toward my hotel. A parade was passing, so I stopped to see why all the excitement. Dig signs were flapping in the breeze, and all of them had ’’Trowbridge for Mayor” on them. The name was familiar, and presently I saw a great cowboy hat come into view and beneath it, a set of teeth. He was riding an old buckskin horse, and in a minute, I realized it was BUD TROV.TRIDGE, So Dud was still running for office ! Needing a bracer after that one, I dodged into the nearest bar and ordered a short one. While gulping it down, I noticed a little blonde busily chinning herself on the bar and pouring-out her troubles in a thick tongue to the bartender who was listening very patiently. Recognizing the voice, I turned around just as sh« staggered away; I looked twice to make sure it was PATTY L U ELLIOTT, no mistake I Now I knew that the peace and quiet of my hotel room would feel good to my shaky nerves, and I hurried on to the hotel. __ t-5 I made it fine until I got into the elevator. We had no sooner started up, than the elevator boy began screaming, yelling, and jumping up-and-down. At every floor he said in a childish voice, Ain't it fun? Then he would go right on yelling. At the 52nd floor it came to me who the idiot was, and when I got off on the 99th, I didn't stop long enough for TED LIVINGSTON to recognize me. Whew’ I was already for a padded-cell, and the day had only begun. I no sooner had my shoes off and had settled down to read the newspaper when the most horrible commotion ascended to my ears. Listening closely, I heard horrible shrieks, and a meek little, Don't hurt me d«ar0 Then a loud crash and all was quiet for awhile, but in a few minutes it started again. Not being able to stand any more dis- turbances after what I'd already gone through today, I ventured toward the source of the noise. I found the room and knocked loudly on the door. A small, raousy-looking fellow answered the door, and I could see he v.as in a very beat-up” condition. One eye was black; he was Ttimping, and he looked as if he had run into a sausage grinder. Peering into the room, I saw the sausage grinder, a large powerful woman with a rolling-pin in her hand. The woman, when she saw me, rushed forward and threw her arms around me and asked, Whatsa matter dearie--don’t you know me? After a second thought I yelled, BOITNIE IIAE and we were soon embracing one another. She quickly let go of me though and made a wild dash for the door just in time to catch the shirt-tail of her previous victim as he attempted to sneak away. Dragging him back she said, I'd like for you to meet the worm I got for a husband, and in a flash I knew it was LAUHIE WYLIIE. It appeared that he didn’t recognize me at first with my newest colored hair. Wyllie didn't have much to say, as Bonnie shut him up as soon as he got started. Having an appointment, I left, almost reluctantly as I imagined that that was the first peace of mind that Wyllie had had in years. The afternoon progressed very slowly making me happy indeed. But while I was walking back to the hotel, I ran into a perfect mess of females screaming and fainting all over the sidewalks. Then I the reason I Standing in the middle of the harem was RODGER SODERSTEDT, now known as Sour-Bean Soderstedt , movie Idol of millions of women He mad® his success much the same as Frankie; that is, hiding behind a mike. I plowed my way through the crowd, stepping on women's faces, etc., and finally got to Rodger. He re- cognized me instantly, and grabbed me. We took off in a dead run down the street with the pack close on our heels. I didn't know where we were going, but a few blocks down, Rod- ger pulled me Into a club and we quickly found a table. No sooner had we started reminiscing than a beauti- ful brunette came running toward us. Don't I know you?? she cried, teetering on her ten inch spikes, Why, HELEN MOSLEY, Roger and I 3aid in unison. How are you? Then we fell into a deep conflab. She told us that she and HfiZEL CUNNINGHAM were doing a sob-sister act in this club, but they spent most of their time between shows haunting million- naires, Helen had one all picked out and had had since high school? days. It seems that WADE OFFICER had finally made his stake by raising horses and selling them to the closest glue factory and now was the most eligible bachelor In New York. Just as we all started to leave, a cigarette girl in a grass skirt rushed by us followed by a big flame. We quickly recognized what was hiding behind the flame. It was CLIFF BELCHER He only had time to say hello and tell us his newast occupation, setting grass skirts on fire. I left soon after with high hope of reaching my hotel this time. As I was passing through the revolving door, an Admiral was coming through the other way. Instantly I recognized JACK GLEASON, and he must have recognized me too, as we spent a good ten minutes trying to catch each other. Jack was a little gray at the temples now and very hump- shouldered from wearing so many medals on his chest. He invited me to come and Inspect his ship, the U. S. S. Seeti- face some time soon. I was so worn out by now that I decided against going out again and proceeded to go to bed. It was a little more quiet now, sol imagined that Bonnie Mae had finally beat Wyllie up. Then I went to sleep. I awoke next morning with the sun streaming in my face and church bells ringing in my ears. After dressing, I decided to skip breakfast and attend Church. The closest one was only a few blocks, and I made it just as the last bell rang, I could not see the minister as I was sitting so far back, but the sermon was on the evils of sin and the hope of reformation. The voice sounded familiar, but the subject did not go with the voice. The minister was waiting to shake everyone's hand after the services were over, and as I ap- proached him, I realized that the voice I thought was familia belonged to HERB McGETRICK. He didn't recognize me and pos- sibly didn't want to. A littAe later In the afternoon I started for the ballfield as It was a lovely day for a ballgame. The stadium was crowded, but I soon found a seat beside a large man and his wife. Before the game started, the introduction of famous people present began, and then I realized that I was sitting next to one of them. The announcer was saying, And now, will Senator Carson from Oregon please rise and start the ballgame by throwing the first ball. The man beside me rose and let go with a powerful swing. The ball sailed out toward the pitcher's plat9 and took the pitcher completely by surprise. coldc As they carried him off the diamond, I saw that it was jORDON W1IS0N. Later he came dashing back and the game started. By this time, I realized that Senator Carson was none other than my old friend BERNIE CARSON and the little woman beside him was DESSIE BUTLER. terested in the ball game and also in a kinky-haired blonde down a iew seats who kept heckling the empire and chewing gum as fast as she could, Bernie informed me that the wild blond6 was MARY LOU DICKENS, only now her name was changed to Wilson,.

The game finally ended and Wilson was packed off on his fellow-players shoulders’ as the hero. The rest of us said our good-byex to each other and wished good luck to all«, myself what an exciting weekend this had been. I was a little disappointed though.

V ade Officer was elected editor and kept everything running smoothly. The second year typing class did an unusually good job of typing the paper, this being the first year they have made master copies. A new feature was introduced into our paper through the efforts of Jim H nson's cartoon strip and Ted Livingston s Senior Simp, prophesying occupations for graduates o PROS PEC TOR — ANNUAL After months of exhausting preparation, we again have an Annual for Grant High. V.'e are greatful for the cooperation of everyone in school in giving snapshots, the really good work done by the typists, the contributions for advertising by the business houses of the communities, the printing done by I.Ir. Chandler and Mr. Ashton, and last but certainly not least, the time and trouble that Hr. Haberly and Hiss Stockdale have spent in trying to make this annual a success. THE EDITOR TORCH HONOR SOCIETY The Torch Honor Society started on Ita third year at Grant High with the election of Officers. The staff chosen included: Fresident--Dessie Dell Butler: Vice President-- Laurie Wyllie; and Secretary-Treasurer— anice McKrola0 Torch Honor is an organization whose basic ideals are to promote higher citizen ship, and any student may become a member by holding his grades up to a certain standard through- out the year. It was decided that the Torch Honor would be in full charge of programs for assemblies throughout t he year, and a standing committee was appointed for entertainment. Those on the committee were: Thelma Campbell, Mary Lou Dickens, and Kenny 01seno The standing committee appointed to investigate the grades and decide whether students are eligible for mem- bership was made up of Janice McKrola, Joyce Smith, and Laurie Wyllie, During the year, we were able to secure pins in our school colors ruther than the orange and black ones we had pre- viously. The new pins are very good looking, and all members are proud to wear them. This ye$r be bade farewell to the last six of our charter members, and we are confident that their wonderful records for scholorship will help them to make better citizens in their coming lives.

The people of John Day could tell when a football game was to be played even if they had not noticed the ad- vertisements, for the band paraded each time down main street a few minutes before each football contest. The parade ended at the football field where the band would remain and play during each spore moment, between time outs, quarters, halves, etc. Basketball season then rolled around and we next saw the members of the band in their black and white uni- forms upon the stage in the Grant High gymnasium for each home basketball encounter; and win or lose, the band played on. As Tournament time approached, each Tuesday, Thurs- day, and Friday morning the band members practiced repeatedly on a new drill, which would be presented each night of the tournament� Our band opened the tournament by playing the National Anthem, and each day was showered with thoughtful and appraising compliments from both strangers and friends they knew. The annual spring concert on the seventeenth of April was every bit as successful as any preceding concert by the musical organisation of which Grant boasts. The John Day Chamber of Commerce in addition to supporting and boasting the maintainance of a band at Grant High, again graciously sent an invitation to a dinner in honor of the band and its director, Mrs. Dickens, on April 8. The grand little lady who has been band leader fo-’ as many years as Grant Union has flourished will not re- turn next year. She has spent a great many hours of time and patience with us, much of the time of which was her own. Her intense interest was to help anyone who desired help and to make each and every performance of the band as successful as possible. To Mrs. Dickens we give our very best of wishes and enter our thanks for every deed, small or great she has performed for us. —Tommy Joe Mitchell GLEE CLUB The Glee Club this year under the direction of Mrs. Mckens is smaller than it was last year, but their performance is jus I; as good if not better.

Joyce started to Grant High when she was In the ninth Grade and so did Nena, but Ruby started to school here only last year.

Grant Union won everyone of their games except on®- which they tied with Halfway in the MB standings. They l03t to Prineville, a large A school, in the first game of the season. In that game Grant®� fullback, Marvin Merrill, got his nose smashed and was laid out of the season for a while. The fullback was back after a few games to finish out the season with the rest of'the team. Later in the season the Captain, Gordon Wilson, got his knee hurt in a game with Burns HI. Gordon was out th rest of the season because of the bed knee. Then, our first- string guard went to the United States Navy. We missed you, GleD Chandler.

Gordon Wilson ft � •ft BASKETBALL (1945-46) SEASON'S SUMMAR Coach Tommy Johnson had twenty boys turn out for practice at the start of the ee .-.'on, from which to choose his 1945-46 basketball team� He had two regulars from the previous year, while the rest of the team had to be made up from last year's reserves Yfith this, he completed his in- experienced team Although Grant Union began an early season with a 41-16 loss to Baker High School, an A class team, It never- theless produced a team that heralded sixteen victories to thirteen losses for one of the toughest schedules any team of this school ever faced The second week-end proved also unsuccessful against another A Bchool The prospectors were downed two nights at PrinevTlle by scores of 37-21, Friday night, and 35-23, Saturday night. The Prineville team had to earn and work for every point It received because of the Prospector's scrappy never—eay-die playing. In It's first B team contest, December 5� . with Prairie City in the Prairie gym, a hard-fought battle scored Grant's first victory by a 31-23 margin. On December 14, the Grant High Prospectors Jour- neyed to Baker for the second engagement with the Bulldogs. This added another defeat to the list of three losses al- ready suffered. The Prospectors' captain and center, Gordon Wilson, received a knee injury in this game and was to be absent from the playing squad for the next three contests. The following night, December 15, at Grant Hi, Crane was downed by a fighting Grant squad 26-21r The week-end of Deoember 21-22, the Madras, Burns, and Halfway High Schools arrived for the Jamboree which Grant Union won with an almost entirely new team (due to the epe- demic cf flu which had removed all but two of the first team players). Friday night, Madras defeated Halfwav, and Grant took Burns 26-22. Saturday night the two losers were pitched against each other and Halfway came out on top. Madras had to take second place as the Prospectors marched to victory a second evening with a score of 34—19. December 23 and 29 found the North Powder team at Grant Union looking rough and rugged and promising a fight- for every-point game each night. ” Grant tasted loss again by a 27-35 score Friday. The Saturday night engagement proved the Grant Hi team could dish it out as well as take it, thus giving North Powder its first B team overthrow. The score was Grant 31, North Powder 22. No game was played the following week, but the team kept in practice for the trip to Arlington and Condon„ January 11-12, where it would meet both teams, Arlington on Friday, and Condon on Saturday. The Grant players, now with the services of Captain Wilson again, trounced Arlington 36-29, but were subdued by the Condon Blue Devils, 22-27. Prairie City ventured to John Day the following Tuesday, again to be overcome with defeat to the tune of 33-19. January 11, at Dayville something sparked the Pros- pector squad to a scoring spree thus smothering the Dayville team 60-11. The Prospectors faced another tough game as Crane, January 25, but showed their power too much for the Mustangs and added another victory, scoring 32 points to Crane’s 2S„ Condon was scheduled for the succeeding night at home. The games proceeds were for the Infantile Paralysis benefit, and the large crowd hoped exceedingly for a Pros- pector gain, but again the squad went down fighting against and overpowering Blue Devil team 30-34 Tuesday, January 29, Grant Union’s team went to Long Creek where they found the going rougher than expected, but sustained victory by four points, the score being 32-28. February 1, at North Porter, the Powder team was im- possible to stop, thus handing Grant Hi a score of 45-29 in flavor of the Powder boys The Prosp ector's standing in wins and losses at this time was 11 gained, and 9 lost. The Dayville team was a much more difficult foe, on February 5, at Grant Union and the Prospectors could manage a winning score of only 27-19. February 8 and 9, placed the team for Grant Hi in Burns for two engagements against the Burns Bulldogs, both of which Grant won. In these two games the team produced results both in playing together and in scoring, in such a fashion that everyone who witnessed the encounters bell wed that they hit their stride as had been hoped for all the previous season. With such new hopes facing them, the team rolled over Long Creek, February 12. Scoring was Grant 55, Long Creek 32. The Prineville Cowboys, having much i proved, as had Grant since the orevious encounter, appeared to be a very difficult opponent to play for two games the week-end of February 15, and 16. The Prospector team tried its hardest but couldn't seem to gd. n the points that the Prineville boys managed. Friday night in alast quarter rally. Grant Hi came within three points of catching Prineville, but the gun sounded before those precious three points ere gained. The score was 26-29. Saturday night the scoring was not nearly so good for Grant and the game ended 35-22 in favor of Prineville. The season ended with a defeat by Umatilla at the Tournament for the consolation. 'The Grant Hoopsters had 14 home games and 13 on the road. Following, are the boys who played on the team; Captain, Gordon Wilson, Ted Livingston, Bernie Carson, Wade Officer, and Bud Trowbridge; Seniors. Marvin Merrill, Darrell Van Leuven, Delbert Willey, Keith McKenna; Juniors. Coach Tommy Johnson completed his fourth year at Grant having taken his Basketball team to the State Tourna= ment for the two of those four years. A very good record for one swell fellow and our coach.
