We realize that their job is not always easy and pleasant, but we do know that they do a fine job. FooroKJL Grant Union’s Prospectors marched through the 1948 football season with 7 victories and 2 losses, winning the District 7B championship, and finishing with one of the finest ball clubs in the school’s history. Eighteen lettermen turned out at the start of the sea- son including eight from last year’s first string. After a miserable start in which they tied Prairie City 0-0 and lost to Burns 12 - 0, at the Burns jamboree, the Black and White roared through the rest of the schedule, playing a spirited brand of ball. Grant 33, Richland 0 Grant unfurled a terrific offense that buriedthe Eagles under an avalanche of pow- er, and an improved passing attack. Grant 13, Prine ville 7 Score should have been higher in this one. The Johnsonmen held the Cowboys to a bare 7 yards while rolling up 350. Grant 20, Prairie City 0 Overcoming a first half Panther passing attack, the Prospectors rolled over Barn- hardt and Company impressively in the last half. Grant 18, Crane 0 The first game away from home proved to be the worst of the year. Nothing was clicking, and only a weak Crane team saved Grant from defeat. Grant 20, Prairie City 6 Prairie outplayed the Prospectors through most of this penalty marred contest, but fiery Ray Sanders twice stole the ball, racing 99 and 55 yards for touchdowns. Grant 44, Fossil 6 This was the season's greatest offensive display. Bob Larkin and Eddie Wah each scored three times to lead the attack that netted 450 yards on the ground and in the air. Grant 13, Heppner 6 This game ranks with the Prineville fray as the best game of the year. Wah, Ford, and Larkin led an attack that completely outplayed the Mustangs. Sproul was a stand- out on the line. District championship went with this one. 7 Grant 12, Burns 26 After the Bulldogs had pushed across two quick touchdowns, the Prospectors came to life, but it was too late. Grant 0, Wallowa 20 The Prospectors were elimina- ted from the playoffs but the game was more even than the score indi- cates, Grant having had two T. D.’s called back. A group of local business men combined to throw a banquet in honor of the team, and a beautiful trophy was presented from the Heppner B. P. O. E. to the district champs. Ray Sanders, hard hitting quarterback, was elected by the team as honorary captain for the season. Lettermen for the Year: .

As far as the record goes, won, 17, lost, 11, and tied, 1, the team was not too successful, but quite a few games were lost in the last minutes where a few breaks might have turned the tide. Grant closedthe regular sea- son with an impressive 40-23 victory over Arlington, and then swept the Sub- District tourney at Grant, although Prairie City gave the Prospectors a rough time in the last two games. Sickness took its toll on Grant in the District tournament at Echo when the Prospectors dropped a second round game to the eventual champions, Umapine, but rallied to take third place. Thirteen boys received letters for the season. They were: Bill Ford and Sonny Rider, seniors; Eddie Wah, Rich Parret, Amos Cardwell, Bob Larkin and Dennis Smith, juniors; Alva Conlee, Bob Trafton, Henry Wah and George Kern, sophomores; and Deuane VanLeuvan, freshman. Ronald Ricketts was awarded the manager’s let- ter. At the end of the season Bill Ford was elected honorary captain for the 1948-49 season and Eddie Wah was elected captain for the 1949-50 season. Bob Trafton was awarded the Free Throw Trophy, presented by Coach Johnson, with an average of Ca.pt. 46-49 10 SEASON’S RESULTS G Opponents G Opponents 50 Dayville 34 29 Arlington 28 Burns 37 41 Dayville 31 Crane 20 35 Mt.

TRACK For the first time in school history, Grant Hi had an organized track team, competing in meets, and having letters awarded. The cindermen spent most of the spring working out, but managed to compete in two meets--the Field Day at Prairie City, May 6, and the District Meet at Bend, May 11. At Prairie the Prospectors scored 29 points including four firsts, and at Bend they tallied 20 points, including one first. Letters were awarded to four boys: Reed Hansen, Bill Ford, Bob Larkin, and Maurice McKinnis. Hansen was elected captain for the year. Outstanding individual performan- ces for the year were by Bob Larkin who turned over the 100 in 10.2 seconds and the 220 in 22.8 seconds at Prairie on a track that was measured short; Bill Ford who captured the high jump at Prairie with a leap of 5’5”, and successfully defended his shot put crown at Bend with a heave of 36’ 4 l Z ; Reed Hansen, who won the broad jump at Prairie at 16’ 10”; and Maurice McKinnis, who ran a close second in the half mile races of both meets.

Later, with the help of the advisor, Mark Willoughby, the edi- tor selected the staff as follows: Dorothy Iler, Assistant Editor; Jean Baucum, Business Manager; Reed Hansen, Art Editor; Peggy Johnson, and Bill Ford as Art Assistants; Advertising Assistants, Bob Willey, Grace Ingalls and Leonard Rider. At the beginning of the year the Senior class elected Jerre Steele, editor of the school paper; Bob Willey, editor of the news page; Jean Baucum, edi- tor of the feature page; and Ray Sanders, as editor of the sports page. In the second semester, Peggy Johnson was made feature page editor and Bill Ford sports page editor. Dorothy Iler and Jean Baucum were in charge of the printing and distri- bution of the twelve issues put out by the staff. 33 November 26 and 27 was carnival time at Grant High. Both nights large crowds attended and a good time was reported to have been had by all. Along the financial line, we came out with $250 in the clear which is somewhat better that that of previous years’ carnivals. For entertainment there were bingo, darts, fishponds, base- ball throw, dice, twenty one, rollette, shooting gallery and raf- fles. Refreshments were also available. Chairman of the carnival, Pat Mulcare, stated that it was a fair carnival considering the bad weather at the time it was held. The 50-piece band under the direction of Mr. C. F. Sauer has hadan active program this year. This included two regular con- certs, entering the contest at Redmond where they received the rating of “2 , and playing for various basketball and football game s. Extra curricular work consisted of playing for the Grant County Fair, accompanying the Chamber of Commerce to Long Creek, And assisting in the Junior Rodeo. At this writing they have a future engagement to play at Spray for a Rodeo. The entertainment provided by the band has been much appreciated by the general public as well as those affiliated with the school. A very enjoyable time was had by all those that attended the Junior-Senior Ban- quet, May 13, 1949, held at the Grant Union High School. The Juniors, as is the custom, acted as host to the Senior class, and they selected “The Forty-Niners as their theme. A very appropriate menu was planned. The first course was: Forty-Niners’ Special (fruit salad), followed by Buffalo Rump (baked ham). Scalped Injuns (scalloped potatoes), Golden Nuggets (corn), BunchGrass (string beans). Corn Pone and Gold Leaf (buns and butter). Sage Brush and Cactus (mixed plate of garnishes). Cactus Juice (coffee). Spring water and Rich Strike (apple pie alamode). Richard Parret acted as Toastmaster and called on Jerry Hogan to give the Wel- come and Ray Sanders to give the response. Introductions of the guests were made by Jean Hoverson. Ray Sanders of the Senior Class read the class will and Reed Hansen read the class Prophecy. Musical entertainment was well handled by Coach T. F. Johnson Jr., with a vocal solo, and by Donald Truax, with a piano solo. The Prom was then held in the High School Gym. The theme was “An Old Fashioned Garden and the decorations were in pastel green, pink, yellow and blue, with a wish- ing well in the middle of the gym. Jerre’ Steele was the elected Queen and was crowned by the Junior class presi- dent, Eddie Wah. Her court was Jean Hoverson, Doris Lofh, Connie Craven, Arlene Carson, and Mary Lou Trafton. 36 37 THE GRADUATING GLASS Reed Bill Ray Oliver Hanson F ord Sanders Keerins Jim Pat Deane Leonard Bob Neil Sproul Mulcare Patterson Rider Willey Buchanan I V W • t tn i )t L 4 i I , v • ■-• ’ Lois Arlene Mary Lou Joyce Peggy Grace Zierer Carson Trafton McKenna Johnson Ingalls Shirley Gladys Jerre’ Chandler Cunningham Steele Darlene Marie Hendrickson Howard Jean Baucum 38 Folks on the outside think A student’s life is swell. But gather ’round you misinformed And hear what we’ve to tell. We’ve missed a million shows and dates And let us say with zest. It really isn’t worth it For a silly History test. We’ve spent a million dreary hours In stuffy classrooms too. When there are many other things That we would rather do. We’ve written essays by the score For cutting up in classes, We’ve all done stretches after school ' For swiping teachers’ glasses. But even so ’tis only fair cheerfully admit That we’ve had fun that it will take A long time to forget. It has always been the custom here To say as we are leaving: “We are sorry to be going now And all our hearts are grieving. But what we’re thinking down inside, Tho it really may be dumb, Is that we’ve had some good times here But more are yet to come.
