GRANT UNION HIGH SCHOOL John Day, Oregon DEDICATION We dedicate our 1952 Prospector to Coach Tommy Johnson, whose ten years of devoted service to Grant Union High have left a mark that will remain in the years to come. His cheerful good humor has spread sunshine through many shadows and his unfailing spirit has led us on to scores of victories. 2 With the passing of time, the echoes of our school life will grow fainter and fainter, and then die away. Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made It is the hope of the 1952 Prospectors Staff that, as you glance through this book in the years to come, you will recapture those moments--and the echoes will begin again.

The rooms and halls of Grant have long been kept clean and warm by the efforts of Johnnie and Emma. They are always working around the building somewhere, improving it in any way they can. During the winter their job of keeping the building warm is not an easy one, but we know they do their best and so for this and many other services they have given us, we give them our deepest thanks and appreciation.

Senior Officers In the fall of the year the Senior Class entered Grant Union for their fourth and final year. Some of them were as awed at being Seniors as the Freshmen were at being in high school. As one Senior remarked about the fact, It scares me. After school had settled into the usual daily routine the Seniors came to know what was expected of them and did the best to live up to the standards of the Seniors of the year before. The first thing the class did was to elect officers. Gene Gregg was elected president, Deuane Van Leuvan, vicepresident, and Lola Spain, Secretary-Treasurer. Alan Dale was elected class representative and Mr. lnskeep class adviser with the aid of Mr. Meusborn. Activities sponsored by the Seniors through out the year included, a Halloween party, Senior play, Food Sale, and Talent show. The Talent Show was co-sponsored with Juniors.

Junior Officers The Junior Class started the year by electing Rex Phillips as president, John Leuck as vice president, and Gerry Parsons as secretary-treasurer. Gary Novotney was chosen as class representative for the Student Council and Mr. Sauer and Mr. Ferraro were chosen as class advisors. It is the Juniors duty each year to honor the Senior Class with a banquet and prom. They started the year without any money being left over from the previous year so they set out on many money-making projects. These con- sisted of selling coffee and popcorn at the football games and pop and candy at the basketball games. Some activities that helped bring in some of the needed funds were: turkey raffle, basket social, talent show, and class play. 18 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Don Danials, Ken Scott, Kay Gunther, Marge Cauble, Barbara Morgan, Penny Hicks, Jim Walker, Don Cline, Glenn Middlebrook, Jack Pocock, Larry Coleman, Eugene Bliss, Jack Campbell, Delmar Moore.

Sophomore Officers The sophomore class returned last fall for the beginning of their second year in high school, with the pleasant thought of no longer being a freshie Mrs. Rutherford and Mr. Johnson were selected as the class advisors and the class officers were chosen at the first class meeting of the year. The results were as follows; President--Mary Powell; Vice-Pres. --Clayne Hendricks, Secretary and Treasurer--Lola Lee Smith; Student Council Re- presentative--Barbara Woods; and Sergeant at Arms--Jack Hoare. The sophomore class had the privilege of giving the first party that was held in the new activity building soon after the Christmas holidays. The theme was Latin American and at this time the sophomore class presented a juke box that was donated to the student body by the Benson Brothers. In the spring Mr. Johnson took the class on their annual trip to the fossil beds. This was in connection with the biology class which all sophomores are required to take. 20 21 LEFT TO RIGHT: Lelauna Steagall, Jerry Cummins, Rodney Smith, Jimmy Gibbs, and Mr. Carroll. Freshman Officers On August 31, 1951, a group of 59 trembling young Frosh entered the highly mysterious halls of Grant High. The first day found them utterly confused and fearful of upper classmen. The day dreaded most finally rolled around. Sept. 7------Frosh initiation! During the time of this trifling or- deal, many harmless pranks were pulled and, of course, the G was freed of all weeds and white-washed with extra special care by the hard working initiates. Early in the year the class met and elected the following dfficers: President-Jimmy Gibbs, Vice-President-Jack Hogan, Secretary-Lelauna Steagall, Treasurer-Jerry Cummins, Class Representative- Rodney Smith, and Class Advisor-Mr. Carroll. Having completed a happy year in the halls of G. U. H. S. , the Freshmen . are looking forward to three more bright and shining years at Dear Ol' Grant.' 22 % w 44 9 H ' V x ' G 0« « %? 7. x JUfi ' 7 V S:■ : , rt's r 'fo tofK, % W.

LETTER GIRLS The Lettergirls Club when re- sumed in the fall elected as their officers for the ensuing year; Helen L.ohf, president; JLenora Knudsen, vice president; Colleen Shaw, secre- tary; and Margie Cauble, treasurer. Miss Beebe was chosen as advisor. The Lettergirls with the aid of the Lettermen sponsored the annual Alumni Dance and put on several parties by themselves. The Lettergirls Club of Grant High is affiliated with the national chapter of the Girls Athletic Associa- tion in Oregon. 27 SLUICE BOX STAFF A five page paper published by a staff of seven was on sale at the newsstand (office) every other week. The Sluice Box consisted of a front page, an editorial page, a feature page, a personalities page, and a sports page. The paper contained some grammatical errors and some errors in facts but it is hoped that some journalistic value was received and that it helped further school activities. In a student body election Dale Denson was elected editor and John Leuck assistant editor. 28 The 1952 Prospectors staff got off to a slow start but after they learned the ropes about making an annual they went right to work. For the first year the staff incorporated into the yearbook acknowledgements instead of advertisements. This meant that much more space could be devoted to school affairs and activities. In a student body election Don McPherson was elected editor, John Gardner, assistant editor, Bob Ledgerwood, business manager, and Mary Powell, assistant business manager. 29 LEFT TO RIGHT: Beverly Trafton, Joan Maple, Sandra Yokum, Lenora Knudsen, Marilyn Rutter, Ethel Mecham, Elaine Olson MAJORETTES The majorettes of Grant Union High School started the year off by twirling in the annual Grant County Fair Parade last fall. This, as well as putting on a perform- ance at tournament time, has been one of their major projects for many years. They also twirl at ball games throughout the school year, and often times, in some of the minor parades such as the Junior Rodeo. The majorette uniforms for 1952, were white corduroy trimmed in black, repre- senting the traditional school colors. All in all, they have had a very successful year, and carry high hopes of developing into one of the school's major activities. 30 Grant has always been very fortunate in having a good band and an excellent band instructor. It is composed of many eager students who have until this year, participated in furnishing music for the tournament, the fair, football and basket- ball games, contests, and concerts. They were relieved of the responsibility of playing for athletic activities this year by the newly organized pep band. The band competed in the Band Contest at LaGrande on April 19. The band officers are: President, Maurice McKinnis; Secretary and Treasurer, Mary Lou Schell; Publicity, Dennis Olsen; Manager, Fred Carlson; and Librarians Helen Hankins and Lelauna Steagall. Members are, Clarinets: Fred Carlson, Clayne Hendris, Penny Hix, Mary Lou Howard, Jack Johns, Frank Palmer, Pat Prophet, Ted Richey, Vic Retherford, Kenny Scott, Carol Southwick and Barbara Woods. Baritones: Dorothy McKrola and Gerry Parsons, Saxophones: Margie Cauble, George Bernhard, Gayle Mason- heimer, Maurice McKinnis, Loretta Neuman, Lelauna Steagall, and Shirley Van de Hay. Flute: Shiela Willoughby. French Horns: Harriette McKern and Barbara Morgan. Drums: Don Cant, Ethel Mecham, Marlis Muzzy, and Carl Olson. Trumpets: Harold Schneider, Jerry Cummins, Helen Hankins, Jean Hunt, Richard McGillvary, Dennis Olson, and James Retherford. Glockenspiel: Dorothy Knudsen. Tubas: Wallace Davis, Dan Denham, and Doris Woods. 31 F.HA The F.H.A. is a newly organized club at Grant and has not been too active in any affairs as of yet. The officers for the year were: Barbara Woods, President; Sandra Nelson, Vice President: Lelauna Steagall, Secretary; Lola Sapin, Treasurer; Verna Wook, Historian; Sheila Willoughby, Reporter; and Mrs. Retherford, Adviser.

CHEERLEADERS Cheerleaders chosen for the football and basketball season of '51 and '52 were: Joan Maple, Lenora Knudsen, Bob Campbell, and Rex Phillips. Due to the enlarged student body at Grant it was necessary to elect four cheerleaders which is a record number, the previous year having only two. All four led yells at the football games, but due to the fact that Rex Phillips played basketball only the other three led yells at the basketball games. They have introduced many new and successful yells which have contributed much to the games and pep rallies. New uniforms were purchased at the beginning of the year. It is unusual to see boy cheerleaders at Grant but they have added so much to the school spirit that it seems probable that cheer leading will not be solely confined to the girls in the years to come. 33 PEP CLUB LEFT TO RIGHT: Ann Shown, Carolyn Hendrix, Edna Mae Sharp, Eva Mecham, Clara Stratton, Shirley McKinnis, Arlene Wheeler, Lola Spain, Nadine Walker, Maurine Prater, Jane Paul, Sandra Yokum, Beverly Trafton, Sandra Nelson, Gayle Kilpatrick, Lenora Knudsen, Helen Lohf, Lola Lee Smith, Colleen Shaw. Mary Powell, Judy Kil- burn, Joan Maple. The Pep Club was organized at Grant this year. It is a relatively new organization in this section of the country. The purpose of this club is to support all school activities and especially to get behind the many athletic functions. At the beginning of the year the club selected as their advisors, Mrs. Retherford and Miss Beebe. For their officers, Lenora Knudsen was chosen president; Maurine Prater, vice-president; Mary Powell, secretary; Shirley McKinnis, treasurer; and Mary Pocock, publicity manager. Each year the club plans to donate something to Grant such as shrubbery, new showcases, and such; however, this year it looks improbable, since they spent their funds for their uniforms. Some of the activities in which the Pep Club has participated this year are: candy sales and selling candy bars at noon, selling pom-poms, decorating the school building during Christmas holidays, decorating the gym for tournament and other school functions held there, and also decorating goal posts for football games. At the beginning of the basketball season the Pep Club selected a rally squad from their group to help the yell leaders. The rally squad consisted of five girls: Colleen Shaw, Helen Lohf, Judy Kilburn, Lola Lee Smith, and Mary Powell. The Pep Club is a good organization to help build school spirit and they have added much to the school functions PEP BAND This is the first year Grant Union High has had a pep band. The purpose of the pep band is to play at ball games and other school activities that require music. Under the able leadership of Mr. Sauer the pep band has played at all of the home football and basketball games and has journeyed to Heppner and Prairie City. They also played during the sub-district tournament and made several formations during half time and between games along with the majorettes. The pep band started the year out by electing the officers which are President, Marlis Muzzy; Vice President, Doris Woods; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Lou Schell; Librarians, Helen Hankins and Gayle Masonheimer; and Publicity, Harold Schiender. After that they chose their uniforms which are black culottes and white sweaters with black G's. They had cake sales to help pay for them and each individual also paid for part of his or her uniform. Pep band was going to be an all girl organization but due to the need of certain instruments they have four members who are boys. Pep band consists of two coronets, three trumpets, two baritones, three alto saxophones, two tenor saxophones, twoFrench horns, two tubas, one trombone, six clarinets, one glockenspiel, two snare drums and one base drun. Members of Pep band are, Cornets: Harold Scheinder, Richard McGillivary, Jean Hunt, Helen Hankins. Clarinets: Penny Hicks, Donna Patterson, Fred Carlson, Eloise Griffin, Carole Southwick, and Barbara Woods. Trombone: Mary Lou Schell. Baritone: Dorothy McKrola, and Geraldine Parsons. Tuba: Wallace Davis, and Doris Woods. French Horn: Harryette McKern andBarbara Morgan. Saxophone: Gayle Masonheimer, Marjorie Cauble, Loretta Neuman, Shirley Van De Hay and Laluana Steagall. Drums: Marlis Muzzy, Pat Suickola, Ethal Mecham. Bells: Dorothy Knudsen. 36 PEP BAND SNAPS The Student Body officers and elected representatives of classes make up the student council with the Student V. Pres, acting as chairman. This year the Student Council revised the constitution to suit the present conditions at Grant better, and they have worked hard to make Student Government a stronger unit. Several members of Student Council attended the convention at La Grande for Eastern Oregon student leaders. 38 INITIATION This year's freshman class officially became members of the student body on September 14th when they went through their ini- tiation. During the day they wore a variety of different costumes most of which were rather embarrassing. In the afternoon classes were cut so that the frosh could clean up and whitewash the G . That night they came to school in cos- tume again for the freshmen party. Each was required to do some stunt on the stage before the upperclassmen. 40 HALLOWEEN PARTV A typical pair. Merrily we roll along May I cut in? Letter-man's initiation was held November 31st when 15 boys were taken into the club after earning letters in football and spring sports. This was the first year in the history of the school that the letterman's initiation was held before the student body. The new initiates had been wearing a Mohawk haircut for a month and on the day of the initiation they wore a diaper and carried a baby rattle. After football letters had been presented the initiates were blindfolded and led onto the stage. After they were seated there were such tasty morsels to be eaten as raw oysters, raw eggs, and baby pablum. After these refreshments, the program consisted of musical and comedy acts as well as one of the main attractions, the hot seat. Those initiated were: Jerry Breedlove, Ellsworth Wright, Don Smith, Ken Scott, Dale Curtis, John Gardner, Billy Porter, Biff Turner, Bob Dick, Gary Novotney, Jack Johns, Kenny Wright, Larry Coleman, James Retherford, Clayne Hendricks, and Kenny Green. Come and get it. On Friday, December 21st, Santa Claus visited old Grant Union. He had gifts for everyone and some extra special ones for each mem- ber of the faculty. Doughnuts and ice cream slices were passed out to help make the party a success. 44 ■Sold the rnari ,ile coat'-” in the hlte Verybody han y naPpy? SOCIAL The Junior class held a basket social in the new lunch room on February 8. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen of Hearts, Bob Campbell and Evelyn Walker. Although there were not many present everyone enjoyed the delicious food and the dance that followed. The proceeds went toward the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet.

Mr. Sauer was musical director. We were honored to have with us a great one armed violinist from Russia and his orchestra. The audience was surprised to discover Mr. Sauer under a wig with one arm in a sling playing his violin with the Pep Band. Turning to the more serious side Mr. Johnson sang It is No Secret accompanied by Penny Hicks and Mr. Sauer. Many other acts of songs, dances, and skits were well received. After many long hours of hard practice the cast felt well rewarded because of the good turnout of townspeople and students. They felt their work was a success--at least no rotten tomatoes were thrown at them. A preview of the show was given at the grade school that afternoon.

SENIOR SNEAK Sunday and Monday, May 10th and 11th the Seniors took their annual sneak. This year for the first time they went far enough away to stay overnight. The group accompanied by Mr. Inskeep and two chaperones stayed in the large dormitory at Lehman Hot Springs which is up in the mountains about nineteen miles from Ukiah, Oregon. Swimming, fishing, eating, cards, and just plain loafing composed the program for the fun happy Seniors. BANQUET At 6:30 on May 9, 1952, at Grant the Juniors honored the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The delicious meal prepared by the Junior mothers consisted of tomato juice cocktails, fruit salad, baked ham, mashed potatoes and ham gravy, peas and apple pie alamode. Toastmaster Rex Phillips welcomed the honored Seniors. The Senior class prophecy and will were read by Alan Dale and Dale Denson respectively. We're Going Out Now, the Senior class poem was read by Peggy Ruberg. Two songs, Memories and I'll See You Again were sung by Jane Paul. Mr. Inskeep gave an after dinner speech consisting mostly of jokes on the various students present. Concluding the program John Leuck, junior class vice-president gave the Seniors a farewell speech wishing them happiness and success in the years to come. Guests at the banquet were members of the school board, the faculty, and honorary junior, Mary Powell. PROM May 9, 1952, was the date for the annual Junior-Senior Prom given in honor of the Seniors by the Juniors. The theme was Blue Champagne and it was carried out by decorating with pink and purple streamers with blue lights shining. In the center of the floor a huge silver champagne glass was constructed with balloons representing bubbles floating out of it. The music was furnished by Johnnie's Melodians. The main event of the evening was the coronation of the queen, Lola Spain. She was presented with a crown of pink roses by Rex Phillips. Her attendants were Dorothy Knudsen, Doris Woods, Dorothy McKrola and Lenora Knudsen. After the coronation the Queen and her date started off the traditional Senior Dance. After many hours of hard work the Juniors felt the Prom was a big success and with the same success to the future Juniors of Grant. GRADUATION Thursday evening, May 22nd, the 1952 Senior class made their final appearance in the school auditorium. Quite a large crowd attended as Mr. A. H. Haberly of Enter- prise, former Grant Union superintendent, gave the address. Don McPherson gave the salutatory speech and Iris Van Arsdale gave the valedictory. Father Murphy presented the invocation and benediction. Mr. Gardner, chairman of the school board, awarded the diplomas. Jane Paul and Dennis Olsen received the Activities Awards and Lola Spain and Maurice McKinnis won the Citizenship Awards. Dorothy McKrcla received an all tuition paid scholarship to Eastern Oregon College of Education donated by the California- Pacific Utilities Corporation.

F00T8AU The football season of 1951 was fairly successful. The team broke even with a 5-5 won-lost record. Only thirteen lettermen returned from last years team and most of these had been very little action on the gridiron. The high light of the season came when the Prospectors dumped Echo for the District 7-B Crown. This was the first win Grant has over the Cougars, and for the first time in three years Grant won the district title. COACHES Coaches Joe Ferrero and Tommy Johnson were the men who guided the Prospectors during the 1951 football season. Mr. Johnson has been turning out winning football teams for ten years as head man of Grant Union's sport program. Mr. Ferrero served his first year on the coaching staff and demonstrated fine ability as an instructor in football. These two men brought Grant its first district title in three years and with a few breaks could have taken them further. Inspirational Leader Co-Captains Bob Ledgerwood was named the most inspirational leader of the football team for his determination in playing the hardest while the going was the roughest. Bob missed the last two games of the season due to a broken arm but had he been able to play the results of both games could have been a lot different. Deuane Van Leuven and Bill Wagner were elected honorary co-captains at the end of the season. Van Leuven aided the Grant cause many times with his fine pass receiving and standout play on the defensive line. Wagner was the blocking back of the team and his tackling ability will be long remembered. 53 Jack Mitchell Senior, Back •4 wv-_ „ John Leuck Junior, Guard Alan Dale Senior, Tackle Larry Coleman Junior, Center -v f Kenny Wright Senior, End EFJ Bob Ledgerwood Senior, Guard Bill Wagner Senior, Back Jimmy Walker Junior, Tackle Dale Denson Senior, Guard Grant 0 Prineville 48 One of the worst defeats in recent years was handed Grant by the highly touted Prineville Cowboys in the opening game of the 1951 season. This was just another case of an inexperienced team playing a strong eleven with an ample amount of talented reserves. The Cowboys led throughout the entire contest as Grant was forced to punt time and time again. Many injuries for the Prospectors was a leading factor in the lopsided score. Grant 26 Crane 0 The Prospectors more than made up for the Prineville loss by an impressive win over the Crane Mustangs. Crane was no match for the hard running Grant backs as gain after gain was ripped through the Mustang line. An im- proved Grant line also was an important dif- ference in this contest. This was the first of an unbeaten-unscored upon district record for the Prospectors. Grant 32 Prairie City 0 The same identical score of a year ago was good enough to defeat the Panthers from Prairie City for the Prospectors second district win. A strong Grant line proved the difference in this easy win as they opened up hole after hole for the Grant backs to amass 308 yards while a strong defense held the Panthers to only 57 yards.

FOOTBALL Grant 33 Lakeview 14 Grant was a decided underdog in this affair as the huge Honkers from Lakeview invaded the Prospectors domain. The first scoring was done by Lakeview as a desperate pass went for over 50 yards to a touchdown. The Prospectors then caught fire as they scored five touchdowns on a hard running attack and a ter rific passing attack. Through the contest Grant completed 14 out of 18 passes. The Honkers closed the scoring on another fourth down desperation pass to end a well fought ball game. Grant 21 Echo 0 Third time's a charm and Grant proved this old proverb true as they turned back the Echo Cougars after two straight years of defeat, This was the deciding game in the district championship honors for the Prospectors. The Cougars were a never- say-die team in this game but the Pros- pectors were too strong to beat. Grant piled up 351 yards as time and time again the Prospector backs made long gains. Only once did the Cougars threaten but a pass interception quickly snuffed out their drive. 56 Grant 13 Bend J. V. 39 Bend was Grant's downfall. The Prospectors had taken them the previous year 48 to 0, but this was a far different game. Bend made a touchdown on the second play of the game and before the contest was over they added five more touchdowns and three extra points. An over confident Grant team that had just won four straight victories did not play good ball at anytime through the game. Bill Gardner tears through the middle of the line for a short gain against Burns. Grant 0 Heppner 12 Grant's roughest B game of the year was held at Heppner. This game could easily have been Grant's except for the first and last plays of the game. The opening kickoff was returned by Heppner on a 96 yard run. This was the only scoring until the last play of the game when the Prospectors fumbled a punt and an alert Heppner lineman fell on it in the end zone. Despite these two plays Heppner only made 40 more yards than Grant from scrimmage. The Prospectors were on the Mustangs 10 yard line early in the game but could not push over a score. Grant 26 Union 20 The closest game of the year was at the Union Bobcat's home turf. Grant started things early by scoring two fast touchdowns to take a 13 to 0 first quarter lead. Union was fast to make up for this as they scored three times in the second quarter to take a 20 to 13 halftime lead. The Prospectors upped their points to 19 in the third quarter with a hard earned touchdown. With only 45 seconds to play Deuane Van Leuven captured a fumble and raced 55 yards to give Grant the victory. Grant 13 Burns 34 Grant tasted defeat for the fourth time of the season at the hands of the Burns Bulldogs in the annual Armistice Day game. This contest was a lot closer than the score indicates as the Prospectors rallied for two touchdowns, one each in the second and third stanzas, after Burns had built up a 20-0 first quarter lead. One of the roughest games of the year was a good one for the spectators but Burns stopped the Prospector's drive as they piled up 14 more points in the fourth quarter. The Prospectors state championship hopes were smashed in this quarter-final playoff by the undefeated Wallowa Cougars. The first of the game showed an equal amount of strength on both the Grant and Wallowa elevens. The Cougars were soon to prove their might however as a pass interception went 60 yards for their first touchdown. Wallowa came back after a 13-0 half time lead to score three more touchdowns to cinch the contest. The Cougars went on to capture the State B Championship.

After defeating Prairie City in their opening game they traveled to Burns to play their junior varsity. This time they came home on the short end of the score but in their return engagement they just about upset the confident Burns team, before faltering in the last few minutes of the game. The last game was played in a snowstorm at Crane where the boys more than met their match. 58 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Rex Phillips. Dennis Olsen, Ted Carper, Bill Elliott, and Maurice McKinnis.

BASKETSAll The Grant Union varsity basketball team turned in a successful season with a won-lost record of 19-8. During the regular season play Grant beat Prineville two out of four and handed the highly touted Council, Idaho team two straight defeats. Grant's biggest upset of the season came when they turned back the visiting E. O. C. E. Freshmen from La Grande. Grant entered as the favorite in the sub-district tournament but Spray upset the Prospectors in the final two games to leave the Johnsonmen in the runner-up spot. There were only three seniors on the team, Deuane Van Leuven, Bill Gardner, and Maurice McKinnis, so with Grant entering into class A competition the team will have quite a few players with varsity experience. 59 Jack Pocock Junior, Forward Keith Elliott Junior, Forward Dennis Olsen Junior, Guard Tommy Johnson Coach GRANT HI Bill Elliott Sophomore, Guard John Gardner Junior, Forward Clayne Hendricks Sophomore, Center Rex Phillips Junior, Guard Deuane Van Leuven Senior, Center Bill Gardner Senior, Forward PROSPECTORS Jack Johns Manager Ted Carper Sophomore, Guard Maurice McKinnis Senior, Guard Jim Johnson Junior, Guard Grant 25 Burns 27 Grant 65 Dayville 48 Grant 40 Mt.

BASKETBALL The junior varsity basketball team finished a fairly successful season with a 7-8 won-lost record. Under the leadership of Coach Dave Carroll the squad gained much knowledge about the game of basketball as well as sportsmanship. Some very valuable experience was gained by all those on the team. Many of the games were with small local school's varsity teams and the rest were with junior varsity teams of those schools that were large enough to have them. The team was composed of four freshmen, four sophomores, and three juniors. Due to this lack of experience the squad lost most of its opening games, but came on with a rush in the final few. The two most outstanding games of the season were played against the Prairie City second team, which saw Grant victor in both of them.

BASEBALL Grant Union's 1952 baseball team completed their most successful season since the sport has been played at the school. The team had a record of ten wins against only one loss which was to Boardman in the District B-7 playoff. For the first year Grant beat Burns, also taking the Bulldogs in all three games played. The team averaged 7. 7 hits per game and scored 9. 2 runs while making 4. 6 errors per game and striking out 5. 4 times. Pocock was the leading hitter with 13 hits in 31 times at bat for a . 419 batting average. Mac Gillivery was the only player to hit a home run which was against Long Creek. Bob Dick collected the most walks, 11, and Olsen scored the most runs, 18. Phillips and Pocock each hit two triples and Carper, Phillips and Pocock each hit four doubles. Of the pitchers, Ellsworth Wright had a 5-1 won-loss record, Kenny Wright a 4-0, and Ted Carper a 1-0. Kenny Wright was the only senior on the team so the next years ball club will be practically the same as this years team which had such a successful season. 66 INFIELD - Richard MacGillivary, first base; Bob Dick, third OUTFIELD - Glen Hunt, left field; Merrill Saunders, center base; Dennis Olsen, shortstop, and Ted Carper, second base. field; Henry Green, right field.

It was a rough, hard fought battle, but finally ended in favor of the West. Deuane Van Leuvan, picked for the West Coach, met Bill Gardner and me at the door and showed us the Headlines of the American Tribune which read, Bill Gardner-Alan Dale, Unanimous choices for A. P. Pro All-American. This being exceptionally good news, Bill and I decided to go out and celebrate at the Stork Club after 5 long months of training. On the corner of 5th and Main, we each sacrificed a dime for charity's sake, namely our old friend Bill Wagner, who after a few short years of marriage to Dorothy Knudsen, went broke and is now selling pencils. , We finally got to the Club and when checking our hats, found the check girl to be none other than Dorothea Falcon. Head waiter, Kenny Wright, showed us to our table and, as coincidence would have it, we sat with Professor Donovan McPherson, who came to New York to hear Jane Paul singing at the Metropolitan Opera which was being conducted by Iris Van Arsdale. After talking over old times at Dear Ol' Grant, Professor McPherson told us that Gene Gregg finally patented his Synthetic Night Cap, gauranteed not to leave a hangover. At that moment, the Three Melody Sisters were introduced. When checking with Mr. Wright, we learned they were none other than Marlis Muzzy, Helen Lohf, and Lola Spain. All at once a commotion started on the other side of the room and two burley bouncers were quickly summoned. As they passed with a rowdy under each arm, we knew them to be two old buddies, Maurice McKinnis, and Bob Ledgerwood. After a couple of hours at the Stork Club, we decided to visit the fancy El Morocco Club, where Don Cant was riding a rocking horse for floor show. The reason for this was that he always wanted to ride at Madison Square Gardens but things just didn't pan out. When we got to the El Morocco, the head waiter set us down by a distinguished looking couple who turned out to be Jack Mitchell and his wife, who was the former Colleen Shaw. It seemed Jack was on business for a lumber company and they were attending a Logger's Convention. Bill and I sat back to relax and enjoy the floor show, which consisted of Dorothy McKrola, Doris Woods, and Mary Lou Schell doing a fan dance, when all at once two reformists ran up on the stage and gave a sermon on alcohol and its effect on the American home. It finally dawned on me that the pair were Joan Maple and Lenora Knudsen. After the fan dancers were through, the master of ceremonies, Peggy Ruberg, introduced the Hot Trumpeteers who were Jean Hunt and Harold Schneider. Finally, when the night life was beginning to show on us, we strolled back to our apartment to spend the rest of the nig’ht quietly reading the paper. On the society page, Maurine Prater's marriage to a millionaire steel magnate was announced. We read in the news abroad where Virginia Perkins is broadening her education studying the pollination of poppies at Flander's Field. My eyes were nearly closed when Bill called to my attention that Hard Hitting Denson, the famous criminal lawyer was still in Congress trying to buy Manhattan Island back for the Indians. He had been there since his wife, the former Elaine Erb, had made him the chief of her tribe so he would feel at home. Will have to quit for today Diary Dear, for with the remaining day's energy I must get into bed. 73 Yours truly till tomorrow, Alan Dale SENIOR POEM WE ARE GOING OUT NOW We are the Seniors, The class of 52 Composed of thirty-one; We've had a bit of education, And quite a bit of fun.
