The first was a hillbilly comedy, It’s Cold In Them Thar Hills”. This was a play in which ”Paw”, played by Richard Byrd, has the job of finding a husband for his oldest daughter Snoddy. Snoody is the rugged individual who would rather play with her pet hog ’’Hubert” than learn to cook. Bill Vandermere and his mother stop for the night. Snoddy decides that Bill is the one she wants. ”Paw” sends for the preacher, played by Tom Sheets, who is a natural with this part. The marriage is almost complete when Zeke speaks up to the surprise of everyone, and becomes Snoddy's husband. CAROL LEATHERBURY TAP DANCED BETWEEN PLAYS.

The Uninvited Ghost , a mystery in one act, also comes to an unexpected ending as the surprise birthday party finally ends by helping catch the ghost and ending the mystery of 'why was she there and what for.1 The attendance was around two hundred people, and it was reported that the class made from their ticket sales around $135.00. Entertainment was presented by the students and teachers of the school. Mrs. Museborn was pre- sented a gift by the playcast for directing the play. SHARON PROPHET SANG, ACCOMPANIED BY MARIAN ARNE. 35 These girls performed during the half-time of our home basketball games. They were: Linda Hull, Dorothy Erhardt, and Cherril Wham. Bop’-Girls’ Susan Scott, Sim Hendrix, Marian Arne, Ted Talbott, Mike Milligan, Gib Springer, and Wally Muzzy were the Grant Union Seniors who went to Girls’ and Boys’ State. They were sponsored by busi- ness groups of John Day. The June sessions were held at Oregon State and Willamette. The classes consisted of con- centrated government courses. The students were chosen on the basis of grades and ac- tivities. Lillian Sintay, Lynne Redman, Alice Munter, Barbara Ledgerwood and Gerry Lou George At the first of this year, Barbara Ledgerwood, Lil- lian Sintay, Gerry Lou George, Lynne Redman, and Alice Munter were elected as the Grant Union cheerleaders.

S. once again came to life, when fifty-seven expectant freshmen made their debut in hi i society. We were representing the communities of Seneca, Izee, Canyon City, John Day, and sur- rounding farms. Being scared, however, did not dampen our spirits. The thought of new activities and new friends pushed us on. Before long our newly elected class president, Wally Muzzy, had us organized and the class spirit was beginning to grow. Although we were thoroughly initiated, (the last class to have such a privilege), there was no loss of life and by introducing such projects as candy sales at noon, we were very prosperous. The year ended with fifty-nine full fledged high school students ready for summer. As September rolled around our class made history by entering sixty-four students. This was the i largest class not only in school but ever to enter Grant up to that time. We were led by Cary Call through the year and had many profitable projects. Our class staged the first Frosh Welcome Party, which was a big success. The year passed rapidly and we were half way through our high school career. When school started again our class enrollment had dropped considerably. There were forty-nine of us ready for a busy year under our class president, Susan Scott. We had a Class Play, conces sions, and many other projects which juniors always have for raising money, and at prom time we had ample funds. We held our Junior-Senior Banquet on April 13, 1957, with the theme, Let's Build a Stairway to the Stars . From there work progressed rapidly on our prom. This was given on May 7, with the theme, Harbor Lights”. As the year closed, forty-nine proud seniors looked expectantly toward their last year of high school. As we gathered for the last time in the halls of Grant in September of 1957, there was no fear among us. Under the leadership of Bob Wagner, we went about our duties as a matter of course, but all our thoughts were aimed toward Graduation. We had a turkey raffle and a play as major money making projects. As the year is rolling to a close we look back over the past four years and find that they have not been wasted. We had fun, learned many new things, and became closely united. Although we hate to leave, we must continue on our way. As the curtain falls, only the first act has been completed.

The decorations portrayed the Senior Class Motto: Let's Build a Stairway to the Stars . The theme was supported by a large backdrop behind the head table revealing a graduate couple ascending the stairway to the stars , and by the entertainment which was provided by a group of seniors singing the class song. Speaker of the evening was Clifford Olsen. Susan Scott and Vernon Hoare were student speakers, with Susan giving the farewell speech and Vernon the acceptance speech. The meal was prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Van de Hey, helped by many of the mothers of the junior class, and served by several sophomore girls. The Rev. McNamar gave the benediction which officially brought the evening to a close. At nine o'clock, Saturday, May 3, Grant Union burst into life. The annual Junior-Senior Prom was in full swing. The theme, Harbor Lights , was beautifully decorated with a modern slant. In the center of the gymnasium was a lighthouse with a re- volving light above the clouds. The entrance was a boat dock sloping down onto the dance floor. A large billboard and a seafood restaurant decked the end walls with a large clam shell as the throne. One side wall was a large beach, along which the tables were placed. The Wa-Hi Band from Walla Walla, Washington was on the opposite side with a a city painted with luminous paint as the back drop. The effect was heightened by fishnets and fish candy cups. The Queen, Jeannie Lara, and her court, Roma Smith, Col- leen Ryan, La Rue Turner and Sharron Cox (not present) were introduced at eleven o'clock. They and their escorts led the dance to the theme song after the Coronation. As the school was once again quiet, the only evidence of the earlier activities was a few tattered decorations, some spilled refreshments and the memories that would live on. 54 '57 Graduates 1957 Graduates Four 1957 Grant Union graduates are attending the University of Oregon; four are attending Oregon State College; two are in the service; twenty-one are living at home and or working; four are mar- ried; and six are attending other colleges or special vocational schools.
