He is a valuable asset to us not only for his splendid leadership-- but also as a teacher of social problems in the senior class of social economics. We are very grateful to have Miss Rose- mary Ruminski as a member of our faculty, serving as the instructor of our home economic courses and also as our Latin educator. Mr. Thomas Johnson Jr. came to Grant Union in the fall of 1942. In the eight year period, he had moulded many champion teams in both football and basketball. Coach Johnson is not only the athletic director but also a teacher of sophomore biology, el- ementary mathematics, and physical edu- cation director. Mr. Thomas Heily has an undisputable amount of scientific knowledge. We are glad to welcome him to our halls-of-learning. He has donated his best in conducting the science classes, chemistry, elementary science, and algebra. Mr. Clarence Sauer came to Oregon to teach from back east. He chose Grant Un- ion as the school and immediatley exhibited his efficiency. He had directed the music department, both the chorus and the band as well as the history classes, world his- tory, geography and U.S. history and government. Miss Janet Flower is one of the new faculty members whom we were honored to have. She has taken the duties in com- mercial department, typing and the short- hand classes, and is the girls’ physical ed. instructor. An old standby, Mr. Mark Willoughby, has proven to be one of the most popular members of the faculty during his four years tenure at Grant. He had capably handled the post of Senior advisor in ad- dition to his duties as a teacher of junior English, senior Journalism and Speech, and Shop classes. Miss Margaret Vinton experiencing her initial term in Grant Union, has done magnificiently as our librarian. She has achieved equal recognition with the soph- omore English class. smofiiT council BACK ROW: Mr. Haberly, Don McPherson, John Gardner, George Kern.

Grant High’s plan for government by the students has been in effect since 1936, the same year that this school was founded. The governing body this year consisted of - President. Jerry Hogan; Vice President, Eddie Wah; Secretary, Ernestine Silvers; Treasurer, Jean Hoverson; Junior Representative, George Kern; Sophomore Representa- tive, Donald McPherson; Freshman Representative, John Gardner. 6 BACK ROW: Coach Johnson, England, Wagner, Palmer, Ricketts, E.

The Grant Union Hi Prospectors completed a very successful football season according to Coach Tommy Johnson, but most of the players thought they should have done better against Echo when they let the district championship slip through their fingers by two first downs. However, they couldn’t have felt too very bad with one loss, two ties, and five wins for a season record. GRANT 0, PRINEVILLE 32 In the opening game at Prineville the Cowboys made short work of Grant, revenging the 13-7 score handed them at fair time last year. It was a one- sided affair most of the way with the Prospectors threatening only once, that being a drive to the Cowboy 35-yard line. A fumble stopped Grant there. The outcome was settled by Prineville, mostly through the air. The Cowboys either set up or scored all their touchdowns through a sustained passing attack. GRANT 19. PRAIRIE CITY 6 It was a tense moment before the kick-off when the favored Panthers from Prairie City met Grant on the fairgrounds field in the clash that Prairie was supposed to win by two touchdowns. But the boys from Grant weren’t of the same opinion. This wasn’t the same team that had played Prineville the week before, this was a hard fighting and poweriul football machine that overcame the odds and went on to win by an impressive score. From a less radical standpoint it was a well played game by both sides, but Grant just held the edge in power. GRANT 24, CRANE 13 Gifted by some lucky breaks the Prospectors pulled this game out-of-the-bag in the third and fourth periods. Crane proved to be surprisingly tough for Grant, showing strength in both line and backfield. Playing ragged ball in the first half, the Prospectors held on to victory until the gun finally ended the game. This game marked the return to action of veteran fullback, Eddie Wah, who had been out of the line-up since the third day of pra- tice. GRANT 12, POWDER VALLEY 0 Although held down by penalties and baffled by the Powder Valley T-formation in the first half, Grant U. came back strong in the last two periods to throttle Powder Valley High. The Powder grid- sters held Grant at bay throughout the opening stanza, but could not put over a score of their own. However, it was a determined Grant team that came out in the third period and began to show it power. Although there was ho score in that quarter the Prospector offense racked up good yardage, totaling 84 yards from scrimmage to Powder’s 4 yards. GRANT 12, ECHO 12 With the District championship within easy reach for the winner of this contest, rivalry and tension reached a high pitch. Neither Grant nor Echo had suffered any previous defeats from B class competition; although Echo had stacked up the most impressive record. Grant pushed over the first two touchdowns but Echo came back to knot the score at 12-12. According to OHSAA rules the game was won by Echo through totaling nine first downs to Grant’s seven. Eddie Wah, honorary captain of the football team and a hard hitting veteran fullback saw rela- tively little action with his team mates this year be- cause of a foot injury which had laid him up the third day of practice. Ed- die’s passing, blocking and ball carrying ability will be hard to equal in yearsto come. Through the efforts and personality of Coach Tommy Johnson, the ath- letic season just closed could be called a very successful one. Tommy came to Grant in 1942 from McKenzie High and since that time he has built up the standards of athletics to suchan extent that Grant is looked up to as one of the leaders in B class competition in this section of the state GRANT 35, FOSSIL 0 Showing a balance of power on the ground and in the air, the Grant High Prospectors drove to an impressive victory over the Fossil Falcons in the seasons highest offensive victory. In the first quar- ter the Prospectors dampened the Falcons’ spirit with a total of 116 yards gained from scrimmage to Fossil’s 5 yards. The scoring drive covered 31 yards in 7 plays. The Falcons contributed to their own defeat by fumbling several times deep in their own territory. GRANT 7, HEPPNER 7 For the last three years the Grant-Heppner clash has marked a championship game with two very evenly manned teams pitted against each other in a fight to win. This year there were still two very even teams with a fighting spirit. Grant lead at half-time 7-0, but the Mustangs quickly evened things with a touchdown early in the third quarter. Grant won with more first downs than Heppner. GRANT 13, BURNS 27 Overcoming an early 7-0 deficit, the Burns High Bulldogs romped to their second consecutive win over the Prospectors in the Traditional Armistice Day battle. Grant scored immediatley after the opening kick-off, with the scoring march consuming 60 yards in 9 plays. Burns then took over and put over four touchdowns before Grant again came to life, this time too late. The second Prosoector TD came midway in the fourth period from a last-ditch drive from the 3-yard line. Grant again threatened, but the gun ended the fray before a score could be pushed across. 10 LETTERMEN FOR THE YEAR It Jerry Hogan Lester Reed Bill Girdner Bill Wagner Bob Ledgerwood Jack Pocock Ray Browning Ronnie Ricketts Edward Palmer Duane VanLeuvan Maurice McKinnis Jack Mitchell Fourth Letter Amos Cardwell Eddie Wah Bob Larkin Dennis Smith Bob Trafton Alva Conlee Third Letter Vernon Kimmell jBM Richard Parret Henry Wah George Kern Second Letter Mark Carpenter Richard Craven Bob Rider Lyle Buchanan (Mgr.)

Q.e-L' 7r Taking in consideration that there were carnivals at 3 other schools at the same time as Grant’s, it was a fairly profitable carnival. There was a little different variety in booths that had never been seen be- fore at the carnival, but they seemed to attract quite a bit of attention. Everybody still missed the noted gambling concessions which the law didn’t permit us to have. grant a.-UN.; JOHN DAY, OREG S uj ee -t D FieaTns BACK ROW: Peter Rioer, Bob Pugh, Marvin Cimmings, Lester Reed, George Kern, Dee Conlee, Don Tru- ax, Gene Cregg, Ronnie Ricketts, Mr. Johnson.

The junior class, thirty five in number, has acquired for itself the title of being the most notorious group to walk the halls of Grant Union in many years. Inspite of their mischievious notions, Coach Johnson has been'able to shape up many fine ball players. Twelve received athletic letter awards and eleven are members of the lettermen’s club. This group of boys, playing for the class, has distinguished itself as being the only class to capture the interclass basketball tourney in successive years. This class also has an interclass baseball title under its wing. These illustrate some of its athletic potentialities. The juniors are equally well represented in fields other than boy’s sports. They have six representatives in the Torch Honor club, of which four are girls and one of which is an officer. The co-eds further proved themselves active by having fourteen gain membership to the Girls’ League and ten in G.A.A. The boys achieved further dominance by the election of an all boy governing body of the class. This includes Edward Palmer president, Bob Trafton vice- president, and Richard Craven secretary-treasurer. Mr. Johnson was honored by the election of this class by being selected as their class advisor. Next year will be a tough assignment and we trust you will do an even better job than did this year seniors. 19 I. Old maid's convention 2. Hotten- tot prospect? 3 Spring?? morning ---GLORY k.

The staff for the first semester was: editor, Iris Denson; newspage editor, Dennis Smith; editor of editorials, Ernestine Silvers; feature page co-editors, Connie Craven and Doris Lohf; and editor of the sports page Ronnie Ricketts. At the beginning of the second semester a new staff was chosen. Dennis Smith was elected editor; Doris Lohf, editor of the newspage; Ronnie Ricketts, editoral editor; Kay Carroll and Jean Hover son co-editor s of the feature page; Bob Larkin, sports page editor; and Connie Craven, editor of the sixth page. Changes made in the middle of the semester were: Dennis Smith, newspage editor; and Doris Lohf co-editor of the feature page. 21 BACK ROW: Dale Denson, Dick Hansen, John Turner, Jim Buchanan, Bill Gardner, Deuan Van Leuven, Kenneth Wright, Morris McKinnis, Lester Fuller, Bob Legerwood, Jim Lewis, Jack Mitchell, Mr. Haberly.

The sophomore class is composed of thirty-eight students. This class has proven itself to be the most scholastic group by the placement of six members in the Torch Honor club. The sophomores are not only scholastic buy they are also athletic. There are sixteen boys in the class of which four were members of the football squad and two members on the basketball squad. The girls were also active. The membership in Girls League totaled at seven and three are members of the G.A.A. The elected officers of the class were Alan Dale president, Dale Denson Vice-president, Dorothy McKrola secretary-treasurer. Their selection for class advisor was Mr. Haberly. We extend our best wishes to this group of youth and we hope that they will continue to do this good work. BACK ROW: Lenora Knudsen, Helen Lohp, Donna Cummins.

The freshman class, consisting of forty-four students, is one of the largest classes ever to enroll in Grant Union High School. They elected as their presi- dent, Dennis Olsen, Gary Navotney, vice-president; and Martha Gosnell secre- tary-treasurer. Miss Vinton gained the honorable position as the frosh advisor by the popular request of the class. Gaining a position on the varsity athletic team has provento be a strenuous task. But through the personal efforts of some individuals, this class managed to place one member in the lettermen’s club. The best of luck to you students in the years to come. usiua . I .

We are grateful and honored to receive your display of appre- ciation and support. We, who remain, are looking forward to playing an equally successful if not a better and more victorious season in the coming year. We are very happy to be able to obtain the services of Dr. Joe White, who has established his home and practice in John Day. He has solved many of Coach Johnson’s problems with the injury list. We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to Dr. White for his untiring services. Nine returning lettermen and many prospects responded to Coach Johnson’s first call for basketball practice last November 26. Among the returnees, there were four seniors. Rich Parret, Eddie Wah, Bob Larkin, Amos Cardwell; four juniors, Bob Trafton, Alva Conlee, Henry Wah, George Kern; one sopho- more, in Duane Van Leuvan. With these veterans and prospects in Mark Car- penter, Ron Ricketts, Rich Craven, Dee Conlee, and Bill Gardner; Coach Johnson moulded together a champion team. Illness and injuries once again hindered the progress of the Grant aggres- sion. Veteran Eddie Wah was sidelined for the duration of the hoop season after breaking a foot bone early in the season. Illness struck during the close of the scheduled season. While Coach Johnson was drilling his charges in the preparation for the sub-district tourney, reliable forward Duane Van Leuvan retired from the scene of action via a case of mumps. In spite of constant plaguing of the unseen menace, the Grant basketeers managed to compile a 14 win, 6 lost record during the season. For the first time in more than a decade, the Prairie City Panthers cap- tured the sub-district title with a 57-45 win over the Prospectors. The Panthers went on to win district honors by twice downing a stubborn Echo crew 63-53 and 51-50; and winners of the consolation bracket for fifth place in the state tournament at Astoria which Rougue River took first place. 30 Avg.

Looking very ragged, the Grantsters managed to knock off a weak Mt. Vernon nine, 12-5, in the opening tilt. Holding Burns to their lowest scores in history, the Prospectors took it on the chin 5-0 and 4-3, for their first taste of defeat. But then, it looked as if our baseballers had hit their stride as they edged an always-tough Mitchell crew, 8-7. This was followed by decisive wins over Prairie City, Mt. Ver- non again, and Prairie again, by scores of 14-9, 17-0 and 10-2, respectively. Woe is us, after a lay-off of two weeks, it looks as though we had holes in our bats as we lost a double-header with Mitchell, 9-2 and 4-3, to close the season.

With only two lettermen returning from last year, Bob Larkin in the sprints and Maurice McKinnis in the half-mile, prospects at the first of the season looked anything but bright. Despite a large turnout, the Prospector thinclad were still an unknown quanity as the first meet approached. But all fears were relieved in that meet as Grant showed surprising strength in being edged out by Burns 45 to 41. The Gransters really walked away with the next meet, an invitational affair at John Day. They garnered a total of 58 1 2 points, while their closest rival, Burns, could only muster 22 l 2. This, then, set the stage for the final meet of the season: The district at Bend. And in the face of this real competition, the Prospectors showed their strength, the final score of the meeting being: Grant 74; La Pine 56 1 2, Maupin 40 1 2; and Culver 15. Although seven men qualified for the State Meet at the time of this writing it is not known whether they will compete. Twelve men earned letters for the season, including: Rich Parret, Eddie Wah, Bob Larkin, Vernon Kimmell, Ron Ricketts, Rich Craven, Dick Wagner, Duane Van Leuven, and Jimmy Johnson.

TALfflT SHOUJ The gods of fortune were surely smiling down upon .those students who partici- pated in the 1950 annual talent show. We produced an exceptionally good show from a comparatively small number of students with talent and who had any desire to appear before the public. The director, Mr. Willoughby, with the aid of Mr. Sauer as musical director and Edward Plamer as student director, combed the classes for talent. After a few practices, and in a state of orderly confusion the curtains were opened. Probably the most hilarious act was a shadow show by Bob Rider, Pat England, and Irvin Diniels. To bring back old memories we heard “Way Back Home and “Do You Remember in a duet by Dennis Olsen and Martha Gosnell. Also some real ta- lent was displayed by Lester Reed when he sang “Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy . There were short two and three man acts, a limb exhibit won by Rich Parret, a monologue by Burene Herburger, a piano solo, tap dancing, and in conclusion, two songs “Dear Hearts and Gentle People and “Crusing Down the River” sung by the Grant Hi Chorus.

Miss Vinton and Miss Ruminski were the play advisors, they were very helpful and did a fine job. Mamma’s Baby Boy was a comedy about a middle-aged widow, who was finan- cially embarrassed and badly in need of a rich husband. The man she had in mind was in the same boat as she and needed a rich mate, both had children in college, which of course left little doubt of their ages. Each decided to tell a little lie about his age until after the ceremony. Of course to do this they would have to make their children look younger too. This is where the fun begins, Gene Gregg, who played the part of Mrs. McLean’s son, was the high light of the show, when he presented himself in a pair of knee pants. After all the trials and tribulations, both Mr. Long and Mrs. McLean found that a stock they had both invested in had made money. The climax came when Junior and Julie refused to keep up the pretense of being grade school children. Mr. Long found out how old Mrs. McLean was, and she found out about him. By that time they had found out they really cared for each other, so everything turned out fine. 37 BACK R Turner Audrey John Kay Gunther ie Herberger Marl is Muzzy Peggy March ver ✓ The band members feel that they have accomplished much during the 1949- 50 school term. As in the past we played each day of the Grant County fair. Then came the football season during which we played at almost all our home games. During basketball season and the sub-district tournament the band members were kept busy keeping the spectators happy at intermission and half time. The three concerts that the band gave were at Seneca in the new gym, at Mt. Vernon and Grant Union and all seemed to be much appreciated by the audiences. Also for the first time the Grant Union Band participated in the mass band at the annual music festival. This year the band is completely free of debts, having made the final pay- ment on our $1300 note. Mr. Sauer and band members are most grateful to the business men who showed their confidence in our organization by underwriting our note. And altogether we feel we have had a most successful year. 40 I. Well 1 Well! Dale 2. Cantcma read? 3 Freshmen eating too? b. We hate photographers— 5. | came from Hollywood 6.

CLASS Of '50 This group of seniors, smallest in number to graduate from Grant Union Hi., held their commencement exercises Tuesday evening May 16, 1950. Mr. A1 Bogue, chosen by the graduating class as their chief speaker of the evening, delivered an excellent speech to the graduates and to a crowd of nearly 500. Father Murphy gave the invocation and benediction. Principal A1 Haberly presented the achievement awards to Iris Densen and Dennis Smith for activity; Mary Lou Schell and Ron Richetts for citizenship; Dennis Smith, valedictory and Eddie Wah, salutatory. Mr. Harry Welch issued the diplomas. Dennis Smith gained a close decision over Eddie Wah for valedictory honors. glass poem LISTEN Listen my friends and you shall hear A story of us seniors--year by year. On the first of September in 46, We found ourselves in a terrible fix! As Freshmen we were doomed to live, Of our time and effort we did give To serve upperclassmen’s every wish. Wasn’t that a fine kettle of fish? As time went by it came to pass We soon were in another class. Sophomores then-we did reign, Spent our time in raising cain. Our Junior year was spent, you see, In dealing Freshmen misery. We honored the Seniors with banquet and prom. Then took grade cards home sadly to mom. The Senior year—the best of all, Was when we came to school last fall. Picnics, parties, fun, and romance Life to us was a song and dance. We, the Seniors-a total of seventeen Have had our years-both fat and lean. In times to come we will recall Memories of hi school-each will enthrall. May 16 is Commencement Day, The Seniors are embarking on life’s way. We’re ready to start with will to succeed May we all be happy in the lives we’re to lead. Ernestine Silvers 46 SIMOR CLASS HISTGRy “Pick up those books” came the al- mighty roar from the seniors. Yes, we were freshmen once too. We entered good old Grant Union in ’46. The first important step we took was to elect class officer s--Dorothy Iler, president; Lucy Kilburn, secretary- treasurer; Dennis Smith, student body rep- resentative. A few weeks after entering school we were royally entertained by the Seniors at our initiation and Freshman party. We had a lot of fun but were slightly!! frightened, but we did give the upperclass- men a well rounded form of entertainment. During our freshman year there were six band members and four lettermen. The boys came into power during our Sophomore year with the class electing Eddie Wah, president; Bob Larkin, vice president; Jerry Hogan, secretary-treas- urer; Richard Parret, student body repre- sentative. During April we went on a trip to the Fossil Beds which was an award for the best attendance record. We also took a course in first aid although at times it is doubtful as to the knowledge we gained. Six boys earned letter awards while two girls were made members of the letter girls. We returned to the school in the fall of '48, at last almighty upperclassmen (at least we were Juniors). Once again Eddie Wah was elected class president, and with the help of Dennis Smith, vice president; Ernestine Silvers, secretary-treasurer; and Jean Hoverson, student body representative, he carried out another year of successful leadership. Our major problem that year was the Junior-Senior prom, so the class was faced with the problem of raising the needed funds. These funds were raised by the presentation of “Varietes of ’49 and the running of the refreshment concession at the sub-district tournament. There was also a slight disbursement from each Jun- ior’s loyal pocketbook and bookfund. School was now drawing quickly to a close and it was soon time for the prom. Remember how hard we worked to make it the best ever? We used “An Old Fashioned Garden as our theme. Soon after the prom and banquet was the school picnic held at Joaquin Miller re- sort. Yes, as the end of the year approached we faced it with a sick empty feeling--just one more year at Grant Union and we were determined to make it our best. In September of ’49 we returned for our last year. We were Seniors now but many wished they were freshmen and could relive their many memories. But time was march- ing on so we hadto hurry. For class officers we elected Myron Buchanan, president; Jean Hoverson, vice president; and Connie Craven, secretary-treasurer. The Junior-Senior play “Mamma’s Baby Boy was considered a great success. In the spring was the Senior skip day which was deemed a day of fun which will be one of our fondest memo- ries. Then last, but not least was commence- ment which gave us a formal ending to our school days. As a class we have stood loyally together through four years of happiness and disap- pointments and it is with truly heavy hearts that we bid good-bye to the High School Alma Mater from which we have received so much. 47 StniOfi CLASS HULL We, the Senior class of Grant Union, being of sound mind and body, slaving diligently that we may be privileged to finish our sojourn at this institution of learning and knowledge this month of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty, do forewith and hereby dispose of all our worldly possessions in the following will: ARTICLE I For the destruction we have wrought upon this the hall of cherished education we ask forgiveness from our custodians, Johnny and Emma. ARTICLE II To our beloved teachers, the faculty of Grant Hi, we extend our congratulations and felicitations that the class which descended upon them in nineteen hundred and forty-six have at last obtained what they struggled so diligently for a-HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. ARTICLE III To the Juniors, we leave the ability, which we had of attempting to promote and uphold our dignity. Also we extend to them our “Traditions such as they are--including our advisor Mr. Willoughby whom we hope you will treat with a small amount of kindness. ARTICLE IV To the underclassmen we leave our years of experience in vain hope that they will take heed. ARTICLE V Now as we depart never to return (we hope), we make this our last will and testament: I, Edwin Turner, will my ability to be lacking in reading reports at the end of six weeks to the Junior Class as a whole including Pat England. I, Ernestine Silvers, leave my quite disposition to Bobby Rider and Audrey Johnson in hopes that they will benefit from it. I, Jerry Hogan, leave to Ann Hutchison and Dorothy Davis my ability to sleep through Mr. Haberly’s social ec. class. I, Vernon Kimmell, will my ability to do nothing and yet have something in the end to Bonnie Johnson and Carole Ray. I, Richard Johnson, leave my ability to make speeches (extemporaneously) to Bob Trafton and Ellen Gunther. I, Jean Hoverson, leave my gift of gab to Donna Cummins and Betty James in hopes they will make use of it in Mr. Willoughby’s classes. I, Bob Larkin, will my ability of staying sober? ? ? ? to Hank Wah and Alva Conlee. I, Doris Lohf, will my ability to wild driving and boisterousness to Lyle Buchanan and Ray Browning. I, Amos Cardwell, leave my collection of girls pictures to Gene Gregg and Pete Ryder After I of course decide which one I will keep. I, Richard Parret, leave my ability to stay engaged through trial and temptation to Edward Palmer and George Kern. I, Connie Craven, will my variety of hair styles to Lola Best, Carol Riccoand Burene Herberguer. I, Dennis Smith, yield my bedroom slippers to Irvin Daniels and Dee Conlee for the purpose of keeping quiet in Mr. Heilys study halls. I, Mark Carpenter, will my curly hair to Don Truax and Bob Pugh. I, Kay Carroll, will my ability to put slams in the gossip column to Nancy Coffey and Delores Peterson so that they will be more gifted in the art. I, Eddie Wah, leave my record of never skipping, of always being on time to school, and never being seen in the halls to Lester Reed and Peggy Marchel. I, Iris Denson, leave my ability to chew gum in Mr. Haberly’s social ec. class with- out being caught to Richie Craven and Kathy Chambers. I, Myron Buchanan, bequeath nothing, absolutely nothing to Ronnie Ricketts and Becky Walker. 48 THE SENIORS OF 1950 (seal) Haskell, Kenny, Dan, George, Bert.
