Coach MICHAEL DANAHEY Science CLARENCE SALER Band JOHNNY MOSIEK Custodian EMMA MOSIER Custodi an rv«a To give the students of Grant practical experience in the functioning of a democratic society is the purpose of Student Council. Four Council members from the Senior class are selected by popular vote of the student body with the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior class- es each choosing a representative. Mr. Haberly serves as advisor. Theirs has been a difficult job in many respects, but the fund of knowledge gained and the experience of solving problems facing the group will be of inestimable value to those members and their communities. Vcjv . SojA. The honorable membership of the Torch Honor Society has been bestowed upon only eight students this year. Under the supervision of Mr. Haberly, as advisor , three officers were elected: Charlotte Johnson, president; Marie Howard, vice-president; Peggy John- son, secretary-treasurer. Though relatively inactive, due to size, they pre- sented a creditable Christmas program, as well as operating a raffle booth in the annual carnival. They adhere to the description, “Magnum sed parva. 3 The 47 football season got underway as 36 boys turned out the first day of practice. Returning lettermen were: John Pat Mulcare, Jimmy Sproul, Ray Sanders, Dick Ingalls, Eddie Wah, Amos Carwell, Herb Ball, Herman Hendricks, and Allen Craven. Bill Ford, who was a transfer from an Indianapolis, Indiana,school and Bob Ashton from Portland were among the new faces to be seen on the Grid Turf. The season got underway with Grant playing Burns in a practice game. The first team game ended in a 0-0 tie. The second team won its game 6-0. The Prospectors next played host to a strong Richland team. The game was played with Grant coming out on top with a 25-13 score. The following week Grant played a small, but spirited Crane team. The score was 13-7 with Grant holding the top hand. Prairie City and Grant met on the following week. The powerful Grant team rolled over the end zone 6 times and made two conversions to defeat the Pan- thers 38-0. The next game was played with the strong team from Halfway. The first half neither team was able to make any progress. In the second half, Halfway cut loose with a passing attack that produced 2 touch downs. The game ended 14-0 for the Prospectors'first loss. In the first scheduled game away from home the Propectors rolled over Condon 18-6 in a hard fought game. The following week Grant traveled to Fossil where they came out on top 20-0. The next week Grant left for Heppnerto play the district play-off. The game was a hard battle all the way through with neither team able to crack the others defense. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. The first downs were the same so the game was arranged to be played over. The last game on the home field was with Burns. In the first part of the second quarter Grant went over for a touchdown which proved enough. The game ended 6-0 in favor of Grant. In the last game of the season Grant went to Heppner where they played the powerful Heppner squad. The game was played on a field of mud and water. The score ended 13-0 in Heppners favor. The Prospectors finished the season with six wins, two ties and two losses for a pretty fair season as well as a tie for district honors.

At the end of the athletic year the number had increased to 26. At our first meeting of the school year, the pending question was the election of officers. We went into a huddle and came out with the following choices: President, Herman Hendricks; Vice President, Pat Mulcare; Sec. Treas., Jim Sproul. The John Day Chamber of Commerce entertained us with a delicious dinner on Monday night as they have done in previous years, it was enjoyed by all of us. About a week later the American Legion gave us another enjoyable dinner. Following is a complete list of Grant Union High Lettermen for the 1947-48 season: Seniors Bob' Ashton Herman Hendricks -- 3 years. Allen Craven J im Wilson — 1 year.

Later Bill Weatherford joined us. The freshman boys and girls came to school all dolled up on initiation day. In the afternoon we painted the “G . That night we had the freshman party and 1 guess our costumes were a scream. Bob Trafton, Alva Conlee, Henry Wah, and George Kern made their letters in football and Bob Trafton, Alva Conlee, and Henry Wah made their basketball letters. The freshmen band members are: Carole Ray, Burene Herburger, Ellen Gunther, Marlene Hoverson, Peggy Marchel, Carol Ricco, Bob Rider, Dee Conlee, Richard Craven, George Kern, Lester Reed, Nancy Coffey, and Don Truax.

Two girls and one boy. Arlene Carson, a Canyonite.has been very active in Athletic activities and is a major- ette in the band. John Day's contribution was Veda Palmer. She has been active in the band for three years. Donnie Truax was the third red-head and is from Seneca. He is a freshman this year and plays in the band. Congratulations, all of you, on behalf of the Student Body for the splendid job you have done in making Grant’s Cheering section one of the best. ----Janice Moore PEPPETTAS Participating at a number of the football and basketball games, were our four vivacious major- ettes, Nena Simmons, drum majorette, Janice Moore, Arlene Carson, and Bonnie Johnson. Nena has been drum majorette for two years and majorette for two. Also Nena has led the Band at Grant County Fair for two years. During Prairie City Rodeo time she was one of the Rodeo Queens attendants. J anice has been majorette two years and twirl- ed at the fair one year. The second year having been chosen as one of theprincessesshe took part in the parade as one of the Royal Court. Arlene has been majorette for a year and a half; she twirled at the Fair one year and also was a princess at the Fair in 1946. Bonnie has twirled four years in Grade School and upon entering Grant took her place as one of the four majorettes. These girls have done an excellent job lead- ing the band and participating innumerous County and School events. -----Lois Trafton 9 Again the doors of Grant Union High were opened to the public. November 21 and 22 were the dates for the annual School Carnival. All the classes had the same booths used in preceding years. There was a fair supply of prizes. It seems that quite a few people attended, but, according to figures, there was very little money spent. The total sum of money paid out was $300.44. We took in $484.85, leaving us a very small pro- fit of $ 184.45. From remarks of the people, we gather that those who attended enjoyed themselves. ----Kenny Roberts G.A.A. Our first meeting of the year The folliwing were chosen: President . Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer . was for the purpose of electing officers. . . Charlotte Johnson . . . Nena Simmons . . . Iris Van Leuven . . Lila Cunningham The letter girls drew up the constitution for the organization. One of the items in this stated that the girls should pay dues; these were col- lected by Lila Cunningham. The lettergirls also operated a booth at the carnival; started a new test system for earning points in the physical education classes; made it possible for girls to enter G. A. A. two times during the year. These are some of the major achievements of the year. At the beginning of the year we started with ten members but added four more before the year was out. Initiation of new members and election of officers was held May 10. The members are as follows: Lila Cunningham 3 years. Joyce Smith 1 year. Charlotte Johnson 3 years. Arlene Carson — 1 year. Nena Simmons 3 years. Grace Ingalls 1 year. Iris Van Leuven -- — 3 years. Peggy Johnson 1 year. Janice Moore 2 years. Veda Palmer 1 year. Gladys Cunningham - 2 years. Jean Hoverson 1 year. Pearle Henschel 1 year. Kay Carroll 1 year. ----Iris Van Leuven SOPHOMORES As school opened last fall we found nineteen rather reluctant pupils enrolled in the Sophomore class for a hardy year of study (perhaps). However nineteen was not to be our final enrollment as we were lucky enough to have five more permanent students, namely: Kathey Foley, Goldie Abies, Mark Carpenter, Jerry Hogan, and Bob Larkin. One of our well-liked fellow classmen, Harold Homan, was enrolled only for a very short period of time. Many of the boys are quite athletic and participate in the sports of good ol Grant Union. Those that won letters in football are: Amos Cardwell Richard Parret Herb Ball Dennis Smith Eddie Wah Vernon Kimmel The ones winning letters in basketball are: Amos Cardwell Eddie Wah Richard Parret As was usual for the Sophomore class, in Biology, we took a course in First Aid. On March 9, Harold Patterson presented the First Aid cards to a very proud class. Our annual trip to the Fossil Beds was in April. The first of the year our class elected the following officers: President..................Eddie Wah Vice-President.............Bob Larkin Secretary-Treasurer . . .

Richard Parret ----Dorothy Iler 11 Eddie Wah Bob Larkin Jerry Hogan Richard Parret Doris Winemiller Vera Spain Lucy Kilburn Connie Craven Dorothy Iler Dennis Smith Jimmy Eddy Amos Cardwell Myron Buchanan Jean Hoverson Doris Lohf Ernestine Silvers Katherine Foley Kay Carrol 12 For the first time in several years the junior and senior classes combined their talents to put on “Bolts and Nuts a three-act comedy selected by the officers of these classes. A good time was enjoyed by all who participated in the production of this play, and December fifth, the play, having been perfected, was pre- sented to the citizens of neighboring communities.

E. classes have been going strong this sea- son as far as athletics are concerned. The first part of the year Mrs. McDonald introduced a new game to the girls. This was Kick-pin Baseball, an inside game using a soccer ball, which is kicked. Then one runs around a diamond some- what as in baseball. The two girls P. E. classes chose sides for competition in the form of tournaments. In one class were the Fragile Foxes and the Timid Tigers; in the other, the Nimble Ninnies and the Wacky Wizards. The first tournament was Kick-pin Baseball in which the Fragile Foxes came out victorious. The next tournament was Bound Volleyball. The Fragile Foxes won this, also. Basketball was next and was greeted with enthusiasm as it was comparatively new to the girls. The Timid Tigers took the honors in this sport. Later in the season the teams played Volley Ball, which was also won by the Timid Tigers. There were to be both Badminton and Pingpong tourna- ments, but these did not come off due to other interfering school activities. Of course, the girls also participated in the general “warming-up exercises. They were given tests in these-- one on January and one in May. It is interesting but a little discouraging to note that only one girl was rated superior. 15 MUS IC NOTES This year, the 38 band members, under the direction of Mr. Sauer, have made great progress. To start the year a few numbers were played at the grade school audi- torium; the following week they marched at the Grant County fair. Football season was on and the band played many snappy gridiron numbers during the season. During basketball season they played for the games and during the tournament they presented several drills but Saturday night took the show when the band members put on the “Choo Choo Train”. Bob Willey served as the conductor, Janice Moore and Arlene Carson divided the box cars, Bonnie Johnson was the engine and Nena Simmons was the passenger. “Working on the Levee” and “She’ll Be Coming Around The Mountain” were played by the band as they drilled. Five concerts were put on during the year plus the trip to Bend. At Bend they received a one rating competing with the “C”bands from this district. Mr. Herman Oliver sponsored the members to Bend and also gave money for twoFrench horns. The band opened the Music Festival in the morning of May 7 by playing the “Star Spangled Banner.” The high school program of the afternoon was concluded by our band. In the fall Charlotte Johnson was elected president; Veda Palmer, vice-president; Marie Howard, secretary; Jean Hoverson, librarian; and Dennis Smith, stage man- ager.

Vernon, to the last, against Umapine at the district tourney at Echo, Grant had many victories with a few defeats mixed in. On the whole, Tommy Johnson’s boys did very well, their wins greatly over-shadowing their losses. Grant went through the sub-district tournament, held on home terri- tory as it was last year, undefeated. A breath-taking tussle was had with Prairie City at that time, however, and until the final gun.it was debatable which team was going to come out on top. The championship game of this tournament, also between Grant and Prairie City, was easier on Grant rooter’s nerves. The Prospectors were “long nine or ten points at the gun. At Echo, our boys went through all opposition until Umapine rode over them when they met in the final game. Not up to par, Grant was out- done almost from the outset. The exceptionalplaying of the Umapine team was generally conceded. List of games played: Mt. Vernon - — 23 Mt.

After making ourselves known as high and mighty upper-class- men we settled down to the daily grind to be joined by Lola McRae and Edna Denham in our mythical pursuit of the golden wisps of knowledge. According to tradition the Juniors presented the Seniors with the annual prom and banquet on the 30th of April,which was much enjoyed by all. There are ten lettermen: Deane Patterson, Johnny Pat Mulcare, Jim Sproul, Bill Ford, Dick Ingalls, Ray Sanders, Leonard Rider, Bob Willey, Dick Larkin, and Oliver Keerins. The lettergirl’s organization is honored by the presence of four Juniors: Gladys Cunningham, Arlene Carson, Grace Ingalls, and Veda Palmer. In the band we have a good number: Leonard Rider, Bob Willey, Joyce McKenna, Marie Howard, Richard Johnson, Edna Denham, Jerry Pugh, and Oliver Keerins. 21 with three games between the upper-classmen and the under-classmen. We upper-classmen won the firsttwo and lost the third. The schedule had to be changed many times because of bad weather and, until the last week of school, only 5 games had been played.

Toastmaster, Bob Willey introduced the Junior class president Bill Ford, who gave the Welcome to the Seniors, and Pearl Henschel, Senior class vice-president gave the Response. Joyce Smith then read the Senior Poem. This was followed by the Will which was read by Janet Gibbs. Pearle Henschel then was introduced and she gave the class History, after which Rubye O’Neal read the Prophecy. Entertainment was furnished by Charlotte Johnson who played a solo on the Clarinet, accompanied by Don Truax. Jimmy Wilson sang “Those Little White Lies” accompanied by Don Truax. Faculty and schoolboard members present were: Mr. Haberly, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Sauer, Mr. Danahey.Mr. Willoughby, Mrs. Fleshman, Mrs. McDonald, and Mrs. Eula Wyllie. The Prom started at 9:00 P. M. with the music furnished by the Modernnaires. The theme of the prom was Moonlight and Roses, with the gym gaily decorated in pink and white. The queen, Joyce McKenna, and her court, Veda Palmer, Arlene Carson, Janyce Lemons, Rubye O’Neal, and Janice Moore were presented. Jimmy Wilson sang, while Marie Howard, Charlotte Johnson and Donnie Truax added their various talents to the orchestra. ----Janyce Lemons 25 26 ROUGH! Fossil Bound In the fall of 44 we first entered the torture halls of Grant Union. And a sorry sight we were. Bud Fate, elected President of our class, dragged 31 weary Freshmen through our first year. Eleven of us found courage to enter the Band. But no one wanted to show off his excellent ability in sports, so we declined to enter that field. Since we studied so hard when we were Freshmen, studying slacked off in our Sophomore year. We lost two of our fellow inmates. Bud Fate and Donnie Hardwick, but we gained four girls, Rubye O’Neal, Royce Shaw, Betty Williams, Grace Moore. (Confidentially we are becoming a class of girls). Harry Spain, being of the manly type, was elected to carry us through the year. He also, along with Herman Hendricks, be- came football letterman. Seven were represented in the band and three were members of the Carnival Staff. We returned to Grant in 46 as high and mighty upper classmen. (Juniors that is). Roy Johnson and Dorene Weatherford dropped out after several months of struggle, but we gained two new students, Janice Moore and Bob Ashton. Janyce Lemons became our first girl President. This year we had the honor of giving the “Sadie Hawkins party for the student body. A large portion of the class took part in the Junior Play, “Miss Jimmy. The biggest event of the year for the Juniors, was ‘Bon Voyage and ‘Mexican Fiesta for the Prom. We had now dwindled to five band members. Elections for next year’s student body rulers of tomorrow’s Treacherous Torture Hall was held and this was the outcome! Herman Hendricks, President; Bob Ashton, Vice-President; Joyce Smith as Her- man’s faithful Secretary; and Rubye O’Neal as watchlady over the money. We, the class of 48, started out last year in the Treacherous Torture Hall with a rambunctious bang. You could tell we were Seniors because we never dropped a book (Mainly because we never carried any). Ruby Sanders, our newly elected President, dropped out. Mmmmmmmm. Lois Trafton was then elected President. We joined the Juniors in giving a super nutty play, “Bolts and Nuts’ . We have now dwindled to a mere 16, but that’s enough to annihilate the teachers. It seems that we were too rough for Lois Zierer, so she decided to break her leg and go to the hospital for a long quiet rest. But we miss her. With this we close the doors of the Treacherous Torture Hall. 27 Henschel and Gibbs SENIOR WILL We, the Seniors of Grant Union High, situated between John Day, and Can- yon City, and permitting students from Seneca (for Smith’s benefit), state of Oregon, being of sound mind, and in good physical condition, make and print (although it shouldn't be), this as our last will and testament, revoking all that has gone before our high and mighty class. We shall dispose of our group possessions first: To the members of the faculty, we realize you will miss us, so we here and now return all of our good grades, remarks and our old battered books, hoping they will make up for our absence. To Johnny and Emma our most beloved janitors we leave our final mess of candy and gum wrappers, hoping that you never again have a class like ours. To next year's Seniors we leave our deepest sympathy and our kind and thoughtful advisor, Mr. Willoughby, hoping you aren't too hard and rugged with him. To the future Junior Class as a whole, for their benefit, we leave. To the Sophomore Class we give permission to express their opinions, provided of course, that they tell them to themselves. To the incoming Freshmen we leave the honor of doing dishes, sweeping floors, and the privilege of doing as they are told--for once. And now we have found a few individual possessions that we wish to dispose of in the following manner. I, Herman Hendricks, will and bequeath to next years student body presi- dent, my ability to maintain quietness during assemblies. I, Lila Cunningham, will my ability to always be in the dough to Johnny Pat Mulcare and Leonard Rider. I, Janice Moore, will my tight skirts to Dick Ingalls and Richard Johnson. I, Bob Ashton, regretfully leave to Gladys Cunningham and Darlene Hen- drickson, my ability to be absent every Tuesday morning. I, Iris VanLeuven, leave to Peggy Johnson and Jean Baucum, my “I don’t care manner hoping they will use it to the best advantage. I, Charlotte Johnson, will my ability and easy going way of acquiring ones to Bobby Willey. I, Joyce Smith, leave to Shirley Marchel, my pull with Mr. Haberly to get out of P. W. I, Lois Trafton, since I have so little to spare. I'll give just a pinch to Ray Sanders and Bill Ford. I, Kenneth Roberts, regretfully will my car and handsome personality to Deane Patterson. I, Allen Craven, will my height and small amount of excess baggage to Neil Buchanan, Veda Palmer, and Lola McRae. I, Janyce Lemons, will my pleasing smile and gentleness to Arlene Carson, Edna Denham, and Dick Larkin. I, Rubye O’Neal, unwillingly leave to Jerry Roberts and Marie Howard my undecided mind about boys. I, Nena Simmons, shall leave my figure to Jimmy Sproul, hoping he will use it to the best advantage. I, Jimmy Wilson, will my unquestionable knowledge in Social Ec. to Grace Ingalls and Shirley Shanahan. I, Janet Gibbs will my ability to talk and never run down to Mary Lou Traf- ton and Oliver Keerins. I, Pearle Henschel, regretfully will my never-ending sleepiness and ability to do nothing yet have something in the end, to Jerry Pugh and Joyce McKenna. Besides giving you all of these possessions, we will to anyone who so desires it, our happy dispositions and hatred of study. In Witness Whereof, we, the Seniors of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Eight do here and now set our hands and seals to our last will and testament. Senior Class of '48 (Seal) 29 ft Gi C� We were boarding the cruiser “Lover , which was going on a world wide trip. Chuby had just gotten her M. D. degree, and I was still looking for the perfect man. We decided to band together and see the world. As we were boarding the ship, who should rush up to us but Captain Lila Cunningham with a “Ya ho ho,” and a slap on the back. We hit the deck-- so to speak. Picking ourselves up and assuring each other that we were all there-- physically that is--we turned on the charming captain with a gracious smile, asked how she was and wasn’t it too bad. She told us there were two more seniors of '48 on board and we would probably meet them during the voyage. Returning to our state room and getting settled we heard a knock on the door. Before we had time to answer in walked Joyce Smith. With a shocking giggle, she began telling us about herself. After leaving the halls of Grant Union she had gotten a job as secretary to a firm in Alaska while Herman was working there (excuse me, serving his time). Finding the weather a trifle too cold, Herman had gone to the “Island of Seneca where he was raising bananas. She was headed thereat the present time. The ship's bells began to ring and we heard a dreadful muttering which sounded so familiar we ran to see from whence it came. We arrived at the scene in time to hear Mr. Haberly exclaim “That drunken bell”----------------. Stealing quietly away, we discovered we had added another member to our group. Pearle, formerly Henschel, promptly came forth with an explanation as to how she had run into us. Hearing a dreadful fuss, she had thought maybe someone had been pushed overboard, but of course, there wasn’t—and why didn’t they have some amusement on this ship anyway ? She confided that she was going on a vacation after the strange death of her third husband. Departing as hastily as possible, we scurried to our state room and locked the door. We didn’t want her to start creating her own amusement --(with us). We docked the next morning and there being a rodeo we decided to stay. We were poking along at a mere lickety split when we heard someone screaming at us. Feeling as though we were getting caught at something (a feeling we often had at Grant) we slowly turned around. There stood Nena Simmons, the Queen of the Rodeo. She informed us that she loved following the Rodeos and traveling was very “exciting . “More darn Cow- boys. Leaving her with a promise to see her act, we went for some Pronto Pups; and guess who owned the stand. Iris Van Leuven, who greeted us with, “Well for heaven sakes, who let you out? She had decided to leave Grant County and see the world, and she and her husband, with their 7 squeeks, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,were very happy. While eating our Pups we saw a familiar face in the crowd. We hurriedly went over and greeted Janyce Lemons. She and her husband (Wild Bill Hickup) were down for the rodeo and were enjoying their brief vacation away from Grant County. She also told us that Janice Moore and a “Friend from Izee were in their party and were having a wonderful time. We bid Janyce a farewell and went back to the hotel. There the clerk gave me a telegram, telling me that I was wanted in “Bongo Bongo for an important mission. We quickly made reservations on the earliest plane and rushed for the airport. As we were waiting for our plane we heard a call-for Professor Allen Craven. As I was craning my neck to see if I could catch sight of him I saw a tall blonde, who was looking thoughtfully towards us. Then it came to me--Kenny Roberts! We hurried over to see him and he greeted us with a “How do you do. When we asked how he was he said, “I’m a state representative, working on a new labor law. Now, I ask you, is that an answer? As I was readying to argue about it, he gave a polite cough and said he had to go, as his personal plane was leaving right way. Watching Kenny walk away, we caught a glimpse of Allen barreling along towards a telephone booth. After patiently waiting, trying to read his lips I turned to see how Chuby was making out. She had a fascinating look on her face. “Oh boy, I’ve always wanted to experiment with some uncontrollable ob- ject. I looked at Allen and knew that he would be helpless against Chuby if she ever set her mind on experimenting. I quickly tried to talk her out of it. Just as I was beginning to think I had her convinced, Allen came bustling out of the booth and greeted us with a “Hello . When we asked what he was doing, he informed us that he was just leaving on an ex- ploration trip to South Africa. Bidding him farewell and wishing him luck we left him, I pulling Chuby, since she was getting that “look” on her face again. We boarded our plane and the next stop was Bongo Bongo. Sudden- ly Chuby gave a start and nudged me. “Look, isn't that Jimmy Wilson and Janet Gibbs?” We hurried over and found that Jimmy was going on his first concert tour and Janet was to be his accompanist. They had decided to go together with their talents and were both well known and happy with their professions. As we left the plane we wished them every success. So we arrived at the offices of Irishmen Inc., a detective agency created for the benefit of some poor jerk who wants to get away with murder. I went in and after several “few minutes I came out again. I was to go to Grant County where a murder had just been committed. We arrived in John Day and were gaily walking down the street and who should we run into but Lois Trafton who seemed to have changed her name—moore or less. After reporting to the scene of the crime we found that Mr. Willoughby had finally murdered the “King's English”—and it’s about time somebody got rid of the dirty bum. Which ? ? ? ? We promised him a fair trial, raced to the airport to catch the plane back to Bongo Bongo. We got there just in time; for the pilot was just giving the passengers the once over. “Hell-ooooooooo, someone buzzed in my ear, and I looked up to see Bob Ashton, the pilot of the plane. When he saw who it was he quickly exclaimed, “I recognized you from way back there! You haven’t changed a bit, Tootles He explained that after getting his pilot license he had gone into “Airline Service. But being Bob he was always forgetting to have some- thing fixed—lose more darn planes that way! On the same impulse Chuby and I grabbed our parachutes and made ready for the “Big Jump. Bob went chuckling up to the pilots room and we fearfully awaited our “Chief . He gave me a raise, a bonus and all such things that people dream of. We hurriedly left the office before he could change his mind. And we continued my search for the perfect man. ---Ruby O'Neal 32 .« ■ '6 'X'MARKS THE SPpt% MS ‘feii % ■414 4 , rJ JI . p 4- 4 vt tjj QfVS 44s,t V w ., BOB ASHTON ' A good disposition is more valuable than gold; for the latter is a gift of fortune, but the former is the dower of nature.
