Anderson. He will always be remembered by the students of H. U. H. S., especially the senior class, as a be- loved teacher, friend, and adviser. Foreword May this volume recall happy days, true friends honest achievement, and memories of the worth While activities of H. U. H. S. THE ANNUAL STAFF lin wr' if -' hp:- Board of Education Hermiston Union High School was organized in 1925. Five districts, which surround Hermiston, united to form our present school, U-9. These districts are: district 14, Hermistong district 112, Columbia, district 26, Cold Springsg district 115, Minnehahag and district 8, Westland. The board of directors consists of one representative from each dis- trict. The representative serves for a five-year term, and one is elected each year by popular vote. Board Members are: Charles Thomas, Chairman, Dale Tucker, Chris Sturm, Everett Snyder, and Walt Young. The clerk is E. M. Foubert. P. T. A. The Parent Teacher Association has started a campaign to organize a youth program. They have appointed a fact-finding committee, with Mr. Jess Thomas as chairman to find out what type of recreation the stu- dents are interested in, and what facilities are available. This organization, led by President, Mrs. K. L. Clarkg and Secretary, Mrs. Harriet Snyder, has done much to establish a greater understanding and interest between home, school, and community. S uperintende11t's lxlessage Another Senior Class is graduating' during a perilous period of our nation's life. Perhaps the greatest test of all time lies immediately before us. Whether the ideology of democracy so cherished by our western civili- zation can fend off the totalitarian ideology of communism is that test. All of your home, school and religious training have been channeled to the one end that you help preserve that most cherished of possessions, the democratic form of life. As with every group today that assumes the responsibilities of adult life, the classes of 1951 have a clearer and greater responsibility than ever. Prirlcipars blessage In times such as these, it sometimes seems that we should discard the ideals and principles we have considered to be of permanent value in the past. The conditions of the world today have given students and adults a feeling of uneasiness and insecurity g and has undermined our faith in the future. This feeling generates a disregard for the more permanent values of life. However, we need now, more than ever before, citizens with a faith in the future and a firm belief in the ideals and principles on which our so- ciety was founded. Moral, intellectual, and spiritual integrity, loyalty to oneself and associates, a sense of responsibility, and a belief in the value of hard work, are all values which will never go out of style . Young people who believe in the future and are willing to follow the accepted guideposts will realize a fuller life than those of any previous generation. It is hoped that the school has had some measure of success in pre- paring the students for the future by helping them develop the traits, and ideals, and skills necessary to cope with the world of today. Remember that the world does have a future and that the future belongs to those who prepare for it. A. 0. LLRIVE JAMES B. ELLINGSON Black Hills Teachers College, B.S. Washington State College, B.

J, JJ 3' 3--iw ARTHUR YOUNG AGNES WOLFE CHARLES WHALEY Senior Class History When we became official members of Hermiston High School in Sep- tember of 1947 it seemed that this year, when we would be the high and mighty seniors would never come. As freshmen, the sophomores gave us our initiation which was fol- lowed by a Welcome Party in the evening. Immediately afterwards we started taking part in school activities. Our freshmen class officers were: President ........... ................ ....... C a ry ElW00d Vice President .............. ...... B ob Burnside Secretary ......... ..... P earl Miller Treasurer ........................................ David Knerr Sgt. at Arms .................................. Robert Keys Class representative was John Muelger and Miss Bannon was our ad- visor. As sophomores our biggest delight was giving the Freshies their initiation. We entered all sports and supported Armida McCrosky for Carnival Queen. Class officers vs ere: President ............. ....... M arvin Lemmon Vice President ........ ....... C harles Brooks Secretary ................................ Joanne Garrison Treasurer .......... ...,........................,.. P earl Miller Our class representatives were Virginia Alexander and Cary Elwood and -our class advisor was Mr. Walter Tanner. When we were juniors, we were very active throughout the year. We tried even harder to get our candidate, Phyllis Plourd, elected Carnival Queen, but were defeated. We honored the seniors with the annual J unior-Senior Prom on April 14, 1950. We chose as the theme of this dance, Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland . I The junior class play, He Couldn't Marry Five , directed by Miss Orpha Weisbeck, was presented on March 10, 1950. Officers that year were: President .................................... Jack Lobaugh Vice President ....... ....... D on Shockman Secretary .................................... Phyllis Plourd Treasurer .......................................... Pearl Miller Representatives to Student Council were Earlene Wardwell and Cary Elwood, and advisors were Miss Orpha Weisbeck and Mr. Ed Putnam. Now we are seniors, able to look back and see our many accomplish- ments. It doesn't seem that we are soon to leave these halls after spend- ing four happy years here. This year we sponsored a Thanksgiving dance. The theme for this semi-formal was Harbor Lights . On March 16 we presented the three- act comedy, We Shook the Family Tree . Pearl Miller was Carnival Queen candidate. Officers were: President ............. ,,.....,,,.,..,. D on Huff Vice- President ....,. ...... E arlene Wardwell Secretary ......... ......................

Couldn't be the reason they were voted the wittiest of their class members. Check that grin, dimples 'n everything. Honor of having the cutest smile goes to HDNNIE CAMERON and VINCENT WATSON. They're called shy guys. Geell They even blush. That's the reason JEAN UFFORD and WAYNE REISTAD were voted most bashful. Rae, Q ,fir APXLQN A knack of getting along with everyone, anytime, anyplace, is possessed by PEARL MILLER and CHUCK BROOKS, best personalities. Talkin', always talkin'. Must come naturally. This is exactly why fellow classmen voted AGNES WOLFE and HARRY BRESNAHAN the most talkative. Droolll This needs be the only adjective to describe ARLENE RAY and HAROLD QUINN, cutest brunettes of the senior class. A 70654 Wie DONNA BAQQRRA ELDON Red hair and a temper often go together. DONNA TRAMEL and HARRY THOMAS haven't the tempers, but they have the red hair and the looks, therefore were voted as cutest redheads. Being blonde and cute is one thing, but being the cutest blondes of the class is another. Just one look will tell you why BARBARA JONES and HARVEY WARD were chosen cutest blondes. No wonder BARBARA LARSON and ELDON ROGERS always are on the honor roll. Of course, there is some studying involved. That is probably why they were voted most studious. 1 7044 4 N .gk EARLENEQJ CARY ON Like the old saying, slow down for blondes, people are most likely to stop for EARLENE WARDWELL and CARY ELWOOD, cutest brownettes. If the grandchildren of TOTTSIE ROSS and CHUCK BONANDO, in years to come, happen to be looking at their annu:-1l's, they w:l.ll find that demure grandpa or grandma was once the biggest flirts of their class. Ouchll My feet, stay offen' them, p1ease??? But these words will never be heard when one is dancing with JOANNE GARRISON and DON SHOCKMAN, best dancers. EVA DONA Poise? They always have poise, even if they' re l at the most exciting football game. Not every- one could be as cool, caJ.m, and collected as JANE ANN VICKERS and DALE GAYIDRD. Oo-la-la. and look at that physique' are just uno of the expressions that follow a look at DONA BENSON and BILL ARNOLD who have the best figures. Whistling instead of working. Not a care in - the whole world as it appears.

When We enrolled, we were named the class of '54. All through the next two weeks of school we waited impatiently for our doom, initiation, when the sophomores would be in command. It came with a bang and lasted two days. On October 28th the sophomores gave us a party at the C. R. C. When the carnival came around, we were informed that we were to choose a candidate to compete for the title of Carnival Queen, so for our class we chose Lois McPheeters for her pretty golden hair, nice smile, and personality. But even with our hard work, we lost to the harder working juniors, whose candidate was Grace Ann N elsen. This year we elected cheer leaders to boost the spirits of the freshmen class teams. They were chosen as follows: Edith Pollard, Margaret Pier- son, and Pat Hiskey. With Mr. Ward as'coach, we had.good and progressive football and basketball teams.

Spectators at the football and basketball games looked forward to seeing the Pep Club's half-time drill. Stepping high to the band music the girls, in their striking purple sweaters and gold skirts, gave stirring performances. Also, the Pep Club made a special place for itself in the cheering section. Besides being the cheerleaders main stay during the yells, they attended games away from home, gave skits for pep assemblies, sponsored mixers, and entertained the Redmond Pep Club when they performed at the half-time of the Redmond- Hermiston game. The Pep Club's biggest activity of the year was the dance, Buttons and Beaus , at which Ruth Cherry was crowned Cotton Queen . This honor was bestowed upon her as winner of the popularity contest in which the whole student body voted on the candidates competing for the title.

Marshall completed another successful year. Officers Were elected in September for the school year. . Jane Anne Vickers was elected Presidentg Carol Miller, Vice Presidentg Sylvia Som- merer, Secretary, Doyletta Alexander and Virginia Manny, Custodiansg Greta Hibbard and Bobby Ransom, Librarians, and Barbara Larson, Historian. During football season the Band's purple and gold uniforms made striking formations. One well-remembered drill was a bow made of band- men shooting an arrow, formed by the Pep Club girls, into an apple made by the remaining band members. At basketball games the Pep Band aroused school spirit and played for the Pep Club drills. Pep Band personnel changed for every game be- cause the pepsters got 5 points a game on the chart. 1951 initiated the Chart. Each bandster has his name on the list and acquires points by perfect attendance, practice, pep band, being an officer, belonging to Music Honorary, and Working up solos or ensembles. In this way more individual skill is acquired and there is a definite objective each six weeks. The District Band Contest in La Grande each spring is a high-light of the year for the band and chorus members. Bands are judged accord- ing to a score sheet and their standing with the other bands in their divi- sion. Hermiston High Band is in the B division, so a high rating is some- thing of which to be proud. This year's band personnel consists of: Clarinet-Virginia Manny, Greta Hibbard, Anita Fagan, Doyletta Alexander, Clarene Carr, Patricia Hunt, Norman Reistad, Delores Thompson, Janet Jones, Margaret Pierson, Vernita Kimmel, Lois Jean Phelps, Marie Linder, Sylvia Ezell, Wayne Reistad, Josie Shockman, Violet Pomeroy, Betty Holeman, and Alice John- son, Flute-Janis Russell and Sylvia Sommererg Oboe-Ruth Barr and Bill Jeppeg Cornet-Carol Miller, Richard Ross, Harold Guilland, Bill Ewing, Russell Young, Lee Griffin, Charles Rohrman, Wayne Bussler, and Jimmy O'Donnellg Bassoon-Barbara Larsong Saxophone-Leta Fairbanks, Jane Vickers, Beverly Berg, Marilyn Shaver, Robert Wilcox, Dick Bensel, Doris Ufford, and Dickie Spearsg Trombone-Gordon Denman, Pat Ken- dall, Bobby Hasket, Frank Snyder, and Billie Snyder, Baritone-Armand Larive, Jr., Betty Burr, and Ronnie Larson, Bass-Charles Barr and Sam Bennett, Percussion-Beverly.

Meetings were held throughout the year on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the members' homes. After business was tran- sacted and recordings of classical and popular pieces enjoyed, Music Hon- orary members were treated to delicious refreshments.

Other members were: Robert Ransom, Jane Anne Vickers, Beverley Berg, Barbara Larson, Greta Hibbard, Sylvia Sommerer, Joy Sue Estle, Clara Mechow, Loretta Mason, Richard Ross, Leta Fairbanks, Virginia Manny, Anita Fagan, and Grace Ann Nelsen. hiaj orettes This year's snappy and skilled majorettes, Josie Shockman, Pat His- key, Donna Benson, Earlene Wardwell, Jeannelle Wardwell, Margaret Monroe, and Captain, Ruth Ascherl, deserve much credit for their willing- ness to appear with the High School Band in public performances. Besides regular twirling and marching with the Pep Club, the girls worked out special routines in which they used lighted batons. The majorettes received many compliments from the public on their new purple. and white corduroy uniforms trimmed with gold braid. Senior Class Play We Shook the Family Tree , based on an actual experience in the life of Hildegarde Dolson, was the Senior Class Play for 1951. Hildegarde fEar- lene Wardwellj is anxious for a date to the Junior Prom. Her brothers, Bob CCary Elwood! and Jim tDon Benselj think she hasn't a chance. Her sister, Sally CJoanne Garrison! stands by her when glamor girls, Ellie-May fJanie Vickersl and Jill fDonna Bensonl make fun of her attempts. Finally Hilde- garde's mother 1Barbara Jonesl arranges a date for her daughter with Freddie Shermer CDale Gaylord! who Wears knee pants. Hildegarde begs her father CBob Schroder? to let her refuse Freddie. Since Hildegarde gave the impression at school that her father was a drunk, Mr. Dolson has been in trouble with his boss, Mr. Shermer fChuck Brooksl . Later in the day Mr. and Mrs. Shermer CBarbara Larsonl visit the Dolson's for tea. When Freddie finally blossoms out in long pants contrary to his mother's wishes, Hildegarde decides he's tops after all. Mrs. Mary Jane Anderson directed the Senior Class Play very success- fully. Debate Early in November the debate team consisting of Ruth Barr, Clara Mechow, Barbara Dougherty, Loretta Mason, Bob Russell, Neil Lightle, Larry DeVore, Dwight Townsend, and Bill Slatten, began a series of prac- tice debates. These debates with Umatilla and Mac Hi were very beneficial to the success of the team. In March about fifteen students attended the Walla Walla Speech tournament. Hermiston received more awards at that tournament than any other school represented. On March 30th ten students, accompanied, by director Gene Deutschmann, attended district tournament at La Grande College. Hermiston placed in three eventsg Bob Russell, third place in per- suasive speakingg Barbara Dougherty, third place in panel discussion, and first place in impromptu. Barbara Dougherty was the only member of the team who was eligible to compete at the state speech tournament at Oregon State College in April. This is the third year the Hermiston High School Debate Team has successfully participated in speech tournaments. This year the speech de- partment advanced very rapidly. P -.....-- 1--r' - Dedaze Aa samz PM em All School Play Our Miss Brooks was the All-School Play given during the fall of 1950 under the direction of Mr. Gene Deutschmann. Miss Brooks fEar1ene Wardwellj is attempting to produce a play. The basketball coach, Hugo Longacre 1Bob Russellj wants his star player Ted fRussell Youngl to prac- tice basketball, and Miss Brooks wants him to practice his lead role in the play. Jane Uoanne Garrisonj, the heroine in the play, is being continually pestered by Rhonda Allen fAlice Johnsonj who likes Ted also. Mrs. Allen 4Helen Morandab plays up to the superintendent CGeorge 0'BrienJ in or- der to get Rhonda into the play. Miss Finch fGrace Ann Petersonj helps Miss Brooks stage the play, and Miss Audubon I Loretta Mason! does every- thing to see that it won't be produced. Charlene Carnahan, Virginia Manny, Anita Fagan, Kathleen Kelley, Virginia Alexander, and Jeanelle Wardwell acted as students in the play. C R C Activity Hermiston High School students have spent many happy hours at the Civic Recreation Center. Tuesday night drop-ins, and mixers after football and basketball games have been held at the C. R. C. This specious building is used for large banquets and teas as well as parties. Our thanks and ap- preciation go to Mr. Percy Taylor, director of C. R. C. activities, and his wife. Tliespians Thespian Troop No. 1052 received its charter last spring but did not begin its active program until this fall. Under the sponsorship of Gene Deutschmann, dramatic coach, the troop sponsored the all school play, Our Miss Brooks. The qualifications are that you must have a lead in one play or a minor part in three plays. Aside from your dramatic ability, you are also con- sidered on your co-operation and scholarship.

National Honor Society The Charter for the Hermiston Chapter of the National Honor Society was granted in the school year of 1949-50, forming a group of nine members. The remaining members from the school year 1949-50, Jane Ann Vickers, Arlene Ray, and Bob Schroder, initiated ten new students into their membership in a special Student Body assembly in November. The following students were initiated: Seniors--Louise Saylor, Bar- bara Jones, Barbara Larson, Bonnie Cameron, Phylli-s Plourd, Virginia Alexander, Chuck Brooks, and Don Huff 3 Juniors-Ruth Cherry, Jean Clark, and Grace Nelsen. Bob Schroeder, president, and Grace Nelsen, secretary-treasurer made up the Society's officers. The National Honor Society plans to initiate several students from the Junior Class in the spring of this year. They sponsored a March of Dimes Drive, by raffling off tickets for a cashmere sweater, and mixers after basketball games. The society has plans to raise money which will be offered as a scholar- ship to the most deserving senior. 'Meafpicm 6544 Walckwal Www f4maa! Za!! 64'W5u4e2aeeacuzd14z'z'eadanz'4 Sweetlmearifs Ball On February 23, the third annual Sweetheart's Ball, sponsored by the Future Homemakers of America, was held. The gym was beautifully decorated in red and white to carry out the Valentine theme. In the cen- ter was a heart shaped arch covered with red roses, the F.H.A. flower, and suspended above the arch was a big cupid with abow and arrow. Re- freshments were served in the west end of the gym in an area separated from the dance floor by a picket fence which was decorated with roses. For the second time the honor of having their candidate crowned Sweetheart went to the class of 1953. The sophomore candidate was Ruth Ascherl, escorted by Jack Smith, who was crowned and presented with a bouquet of red roses by the chapter president Earlene Wardwell. Mrs. Dor- othy Kopacz, chapter mother, also presented the Sweetheart with a gold F. H. A. pin. The other candidates, Barbara Schroder, freshmen candidate, escorted by Ronald Tonack, Jean Clark, junior candidate, escorted by Jerry Sellers, and Pearl Miller, senior candidate, escorted by Marvin Lemon, were pre- sented with heart shaped boxes of candy. 1950 Carnival Capers Taking the spotlight as one of the main events of the year, the third annual Carnival was presented October 28th in the high school gym. On October 6th, class meetings were held, and the following candi- dates were chosen to run for Carnival Queen: Senior ................................................ Pearl Miller Junior .......... ...... G race Ann Nelsen Sophomore .......... ............... A lice Johnson Freshman .....................,............ Lois McPheeters After the kick-off parade, queen tickets went on sale with each class backing it's candidate to the deadline. The big attraction of the 1950 ,Carnival Capers was the crowning of the class of 52's candidate, Grace Ann Nelsen, who ruled over the festivities as Queen Grace I. Again, the Carnival proved to be a very profitable affair, increasing the student body fund with 8954.00 from the Queen Contest and 5711.00 from the many booths. The only expenses were 3100.00 which went to the junior class, the winners of the Queen Contest, and approximately 8200.00 for expenses connected with the booths. G 14 E fi lllll' 'lun- Quill nw' inn' an NJ Z ,iq I! ru ii Atliletic Accomplishments Generally speaking athletics were at an all time high in Hermiston this school year. Teams in every sport demonstrated that they were strong- er than ever before by meeting stiffer opposition and making creditable showings. Our football team averaged three touchdowns per game. Besides vic- tories over Prosser, Burns, and Madras on the Hermiston field we led the championship Mac Hi Pioneers for the first three quarters, who later represented Eastern Oregon in the state football play-offs. Our basketball team p'ayed under the toughest schedule any Hermis- ton team has encountered when it was entered in the Blue Mountain League. The record shows that the team was not only capable of competing with this standard of basketball, but proved they could score with the best of them. The team's average score amounted to 47 points per game. There is no question of the offensive power of the team. Our defense was handi- capped some by speed. Our outstanding accomplishments in basketball were three consecutive wins over a strong Redmond team which beat every team in Central Oregon and played off for the championship at the district finals. In baseball our team defeated every team in the Blue Mountain League once or more with the exception of a 5-4 victory by Pendleton. This record includes one win over the Blue Mountain champions, The Dalles High School. Hermiston placed second in the Blue Mountain League. Track had au outstanding year, managing victories over Mac Hi and The Dalles as well as many individual marks over other Blue Mountain teams. The future of athletics shows promise. In order to be successful, how- ever, boys who are participating must pledge themselves to get in the best possible condition to compete as Well as to attend practice regularly. Our school needs a united support of the entire community, along with a de- termined, never say die student body, and a continuation of our present build up program. Temporary let downs are sure to come, but long term planning and hard work will guarantee a successful future over a reasonable period of time. The outlook for new facilities shows promise to all departments. Ath- letics which has been working under a severe handicap should come into its own with the facilities. If we are to complete on the level of our op- ponents, certainly our facilities should be on par with theirs. 'An Football In this season's football tussles the Bulldogs won three out of their schedule. The first game, with Mac Hi, was the real thriller, with the Bulldogs leading at half time 12-6. But Mac Hi, in the fourth quarter, scored a 19 point rally to take a 25-12 decision over the Bulldogs. In our second game, with Prosser, the Bulldogs outplayed the Mus- tangs on the ground as well as in the air. Hermiston gained 141 net yards from scrimmage against the Mustangs' 132 yards. The Bulldogs gained 39 in the air, to Prosser's 9 for a total of 180 to 141. The final score: Hermis- ton 20, Prosser 12. Third game, and second win in a row was the Burns contest. Burns was rated a top notch tea-m in southeastern Oregon, but they just didn't match the Bulldog force when they came up here. Hermiston literally trampled them all the way through the game to win 32-12. When the Hermiston High Bulldogs came up against White Salmon, the line was weak, not having Ron Sheddy who had been injured, and Bob Burnside who was ineligibleg consequently offense was very poor and this seemed to rattle the boys considerably as they made fumble after fumble, and the defense was not too good. The score at the end of the fourth per- iod Was 20-12. Hermiston traveled 167 miles to Pomeroy, Washington to get Walloped 46-7. Coach Vern Bennion said that the Pirates only earned two of their scoresg the others were by the Bulldogs' fumbles. Hermiston scored its only TD in the fourth period when Brooks passed to Arnold who went all the way for the tally. The Bulldogs really got mad when they played Madras and tromped them 27-12. Madras playing on the local field may have hampered them or perhaps had been overratedg at any rate Hermiston pushed them all over the field. Madras was in the lead the first quarter, but the Bulldogs soon remedied that by scoring two in the fourth and by making the conversion three out of four times. The seventh game scheduled for the Bulldogs was with the Pendleton Buckaroos who defeated the Bulldogs 39-19. The Bucks racked up a three touchdown lead in the first two periods, which kept them in good standing throughout the game. Hermiston was not able to break through their de- fense on the ground or in the air. The Bulldogs fifth defeat came when the team played Heppner on their field. The field was very muddy and probably the cause of the Bulldogs' downfall. The game was really a two-fisted ordeal because Heppner and Hermiston have always been bitter rivals. The score was 22-13. x O ll Ja ,A .. ,ff a:,:'. I Q! vf 1 1 X 4 ' X Sxjggg , ' E. I - X gk 1 A 1. . .X .qv - T . 'I ' . . ll 1. , ,. .

Although the score does not indicate it as such, it was the Frosh team's best game of the season due to smart and vicious defensive play with ends Dodson and Tonack and line- backer Baker standouts in this department. In the season's opener, Herm- iston dropped a well played contest to the offensive minded Broncs 21-7. Other games included a 6-6 tie with the Mac Hi Frosh, who were outgained by Hermiston's 7 first downs to 1, and a 9-0 victory over the Junior High Bullpups in the Civil War battle. Offensive starters for the Frosh were: Tonack and Dodson, ends, Green and Metteer, tackles, Barr, Cox, and Matheson, guards, O'Kelley and Tasnady, centers, Bennett and Isaac, half-backs, Babcock, fullback, Larive, quarterback. Capable reserves included the heaviest defensive guard in Umatilla County in Jim Parrish at 260 pounds. Others were Baker, Crist, Hamman, Power, Casper, Olson, Hunt, Record, Edwards, Larson, Jeppe, and Busler. Boys Awarded Trip Martin Pedigo, Chuck Brooks, Don Huff, Don Shockman, Bill Arnold, Chuck Bonando, and Alan Pedigo were voted by the Athletic Club of Her- miston as the outstanding football players of the season. Because of be- ing chosen for this honor, they were given a trip to see the Washington- Washington State football game in Spokane, November 25, 1950. 'An Baslzetinali This year's basketball season was not successful in the sense of wins and losses, but considering that we had only five of last year's lettermen that returned, the team put in a good account of themselves. Winning two games from Redmond on the home floor, and another one on their home floor was perhaps the greatest feat the Bulldogs accom- plished this year. The season's record was 7 wins in 22 starts. This year's squad was made up of Harry Thomas, Don Huff, Chuck Bonando, Vic Kimmel, Willy Liebe, Vince Alleman, Don Shockman Jim Barnard, and Dean Englert. , Hermiston 52 Kennewick 59 Hermiston 48, Redmand 41 Hermiston 42 Umatilla 30 Hermiston 50 St. Patricks 47 Hermiston 47, Redmond 45 Hermiston 46 Baker 70 Hermiston 52 Prineville 54 Hermiston 49 The Dalles 50 Hermiston 52 Pendleton 74 Hermiston 52 St. Patricks 45 Hermiston 50 Baker 66 Hermiston 55 Pasco 68 Hermiston 47 Pendleton 71 Hermiston 38 Mac Hi 42 Hermiston 46 Pasco 62 Hermiston 33 Mac Hi 54 Hermiston 44 Kennewick 52 Hermiston 50 The Dalles 62 Hermiston 59 Umatilla 18 Hermiston 32 La Grande 64 Hermiston 37 Redmond 36 Hermiston 52, La Grande 78 if, W if Z 2? Freshman Baslzetimall Competitive spirit, teamwork, and determination made an apparently poor season morally satisfying. After a comparative slow start, the Frosh, led by co-captains Isaac and Dodson, convinced all opponents that every contest was serious business. The locals won from Mac Hi 28-22 and The Dalles 48-23. Two decisions were dropped to La Grande 30-62 and 46-323 one to the Hermiston Bees 24-34 and one to The Dalles B teams 29-425 four to Pendleton 18-35, 37-47, 38-40 Cdouble overtimel, and 30-38. The last two Pendleton games were the best played. The first of the two showed both teams stressing offense with the Frosh losing out in the second over- time after Larive tied the count at regulation time and Tomack tallied in the last five seconds of the first overtime. The last one was slow and de. liberate with both teams using a strong zone. Pendleton pulled away in the final few minutes when the Frosh abandoned their zone to attempt to break up the Bronc's ball-control tactics. Frosh numeral winners include: Dod- son, Edwards, Tonack, Manny, Ross, Larive, Busler, O'Kelley, Isaac, and Hanley.

The Dalles and Hermiston are tied for first place as the annual is being completed. The Bulldogs have won one from Boardman, split with La Grande and The Dalles, and won two from Mac Hi. Players for this season were: Charles B-onando Charles Brooks Dean Englert Don Englert Don Huff Jim Barnard Bill Hunsinger Bob Palmer Eldon Rogers Don Shockman Harry Thomas Melvin Vernon Marvin Lemmon Vincent Alleman Ray Henry Ron McAhren Eddie Castellow Robert Harig Les Aldrich Hugh Scanlon Freshman Baseball To date the Frosh diamond crew has a two won and three lost record with an opportunity to even the count in their remaining game with the Pendleton Broncs. The Frosh opened the season with an 18-2 loss to a strong La Grande aggregation and a 16-7 shellacking the following week by the Echo J. V. team, after leading for the first 3 innings. However, they bounced right back behind the 7 hit pitching of Bill Manny, edging Pendle- ton 7-8. La Grande took the Frosh in tow a second time 13-2. In their last outing they edged the Bullpups 12-13 in a free scoring affair. With one game remaining, Dodson leads the hitters with a loud .428, followed by Crist, O'Kelley, and Larive. Those who have thus far earned numerals are: Hanley, Manny, Isaac, O'Donnel, Busler, Dodson, Crist, O'Kelley, Ross, Larive, Aldrich, Hamman, and J eppe. w w ' i w . f' v 4 , w J , Mg ,, 4 I 1 n a I Q . .rl R ,- lg, X .
