This class of boys is the smallest one ever to graduate from the Imbler High School since it started but, notwithstanding their minority they have taken part in a great many school activities. There is no telling what we would have done without them, for they have been very active on the baseball diamond, the basketball floor, in our P. F. A, department, dramatics and our various student body activities. Imbler High School will feci their loss keenly but nevertheless we wish them all success in the fulfillment of their aims.

Eighteen returned as Sophomores. Freshman initiation was held in October. Several Sophomore boys were successful in making the first team in basketball. Four members of the Girls' Sextette were chosen from the class. We returned as modest and dignified Juniors. A promising school year was begun after electing Melba Wostenskow as President, Violette Wells as Vice-president, and Arleen Choate ns Secretary-Treasurer of the Junior Class. The'class play, Lena Rivers , directed by our class adviser, Mr. Main, was successfully presented April 22. We are planning to entertain the Senior Class with a banquet May 15th. (Continued) Members of our class have taken an active interest in all activities this year; having participated in basketball, baseball, and volley ball. Others have participated in F. F.

Paint, ribbons, aprons, shirts and neckties miraculously transformed girls and boys into boys and girls on Freshman dress-up day. We gave the Sophomores a dance, (a good one too) in return for the Freshmen Initiation party.

However, in many respects it was a successful year. The fine spirit shown by every member of the team was pointed toward with pride by the supporters of the team. We are proud to soy that it was never said of Imbler that they were poor sports. They always showed excellent sportsmanship. We hope to win more games next season as we only lose one player by graduation. First Team: Glen Campbell Neil Martin Bob Gaines Malcolm Gaines Jesse Vermillion Gerald Vermillion Richard Wilson Leo Richeson Elmer Perry Second Team: Claude Westenskow Don Hallgarth Jack Dillon Jack Lloyd Albert Withey Ronald Westenskow Alvin Bushman Warren McCoy Darwin Keenan V vt w V V V V V Imbler is a member of the Union County. Baseball League. Our trophy case is full of awards won in this competition. Whether this years' team will add to that collect-tion is a thing to be seen. However, win or lose, Imbler will have a scrappy ball team on the field.

We were able to schedule only four games, one of which we won. We are looking forward to a stronger and luckier team next year. Members: Evelyn Thornton (Captain June German Elva Richeson Aletha Bushman Melba Westenskow Pauline Jensen Rosabell Anderson Shirley Lloyd Martha Westenskow Betty Crouser 'STOEW? 'TqW WTy Go Slow, Mary , is the old story of the :nar-ried couple that have great difficulty in getting along In a search for a 3olxition, they exchange places, nary agreeing to be the breadwinner while Billy takes care of things at home. The amusing situations which must naturally a-rise from such an agreement, furnish material for a great display of wit and humor. Events which happen so often in the average American home become quite amusing when given a public airing. Such was the case with Go Slow, Mary .

The play is a dramatization of a very old book--one that Grandma enjoyed. Being poor relations is the hard lot suffered by Lena and her dear old Granny, each furnishing drama and humor while winning the hearts of everyone. Myrtha Westenskow takes the part of Lena, Neil Martin playing opposite her as Durward Bellmont—a southern blueblood . Lena has three cousins—Caroline, played by Betty Crouser; Anne, played by Elva Rlcheson; and John Junior, a role filled by Alvin Bushman. Lena's Granny—Aletha Bushman, is quite delightful. Don Ha11garth fills the part of Mr. Livingston, Lena's Uncle, with Viollette Wells capably interpreting the difficult character of Mrs. Livingston. Ted Arnoldus and Leola Rollins furnish laughs as the negro servants. Elmer Perry finds it a fairly pleasant job to fill the part of Anpe's beau, Malcolm Everett. Richard Wilson and Arleen Choate complete the cast as Mr. and Mrs, Prank Graham, more blue-bloods . The Home Economic Class of Imbler High School deserves considerable commendation for their work this year. They have prepared and served dinner for the Schoolmasters' Banquet, the F. F. A. Father and Son Banquet, the Basket ball boys, and a waffle supper for the Junior girls. Each girl also planned and prepared a lunchoon for the other members of the class. They will also assist the Girls' League at a tea for the mothers. The latter part of the year was devoted to sewing during which several attractive dressos and slips were made. The class consists of Lois Bauer, Betty Crouser, June German, Shirley Lloyd, Lila Lewis, Pauline Jensen, Phyllis Ryn-earson and Barbara Tucker. Miss Hill is their instructor. Eoyp and Girls' Glee Clubs Tho Gloc Club hc.o mado very definite progress this year, having built up quite a repertoire of Negro Spirituals, other Southern songs, and a number of the older favorites, as well as a few popular songs. The ability to sing harmony parts was one of the hardest things for some of the singers to learn. However, much was accomplished along those lines, so that at the end of the year, the group is a unified one, enjoying the work, and fast becoming ready for bigger and bettor musical accomplishments next year. The Glee Club appeared publicly as a group but twice this year--at Christmas and during National Music Week. Sextet and quartet work was not emphasized as much this year as we hope it may be in the future. Elva Richeson, Viollette Wells, Betty Crousor, and Aletha Bushman formed a nucleus around which the sextet was built with the help of Elma Conrad, Melba Westenskow, Helen Heater and June German. In attempting to find a good quartet combination, Mr. Main used Darwin Keenan, Warren McCoy, Richard Wilson, Alvin Bushman, Glen Campbell, and Lee Richeson in various parts. •-The Clubs consider it a satisfactory year. FutureFa ers Activities of the Imbler F.F.A. consisted of sending a judging team to Union, LaGrande, PILE stock judging contests; putting up exhibits and showing stock at the Grange Fair, Greenhand and Future Farmer Initiations, two theater parties, Hc3t Chapter for the Eastern Oregon Chapters and attending the State F.F.A. Convention. The members of the department competed in many contests and activities throughout the year. The mbst outstanding results were the Stock Judging team winning 2nd in Oregon and 10th in the Pacific Northwest at the PILE and the Parliamentary team winning third in the Eastern Oregon Contest. Elmer Perry was named alternate for the Union Pacific scholarship. The chapter is putting up two candidates for the State Farmer Degree; Harold Schwebke and Charles Beem. There are 24 boys in the Agricultural Department. Officers are President, Richard Wilson; Vice-president, Warren McCoy; Secretary, Harold Schwebke; Treasurer, Ted Ar-noldus; Reporter, Charles Beem; Advisor, Hudson D. White, GIRLS' LEAGUE All the girls in Imbler High are mem' bers of the Girls' League. On November 7 a delegation of Arleen Choate, Lila Lewis Barbara Tucker and the Advisor, Miss Hill attended a convention at Baker to which the Baker High School was hostess. An en joyable and instructive time was reported by all. Activities during the year included Apron Day, candy sales, decoration of the school Christmas tree, a dinner for the Basket Ball boys and a Mothers' Day Tea. Officer: Miss, you were doing sixty miles an hour. She: Oh, isn't that splendid! I only learned to drive yesterday. Who Will Drive This Car Away For $50? read a sign in a window of a used car dealer. A man stopped at the window, read the sign, and after some thought entered the store. I will take a chance, he offered. Where's the money? When little sister Anne was told to go quietly into the bedroom to see if Uncle Henry was still asleep, she returned with the information that he's all asleep but his nose. Directions: The Boss (smiling) On the way to Smith Sons you will pass a baseball field and-----------. Office Boy (hopefully): Yes, Sir'1’ The Boss: Well, pass it. Father: When I was a boy, I thought nothing of a ten-mile walk. Son: Well, I don't think much of it myself. 1st Boy: There are several things I can always count on. 2nd Boy: What are they? 1st Boy: My fingers. Mother: Willie, the canary has gone! Willie: But Mummy, it was there just now when I was trying to clean it1s cage with a vacuum cleaner! Mother: Johnny, how is it that you have lower marks in January than in Decomber? Johnny: Oh, everything is marked down after v the holidays.
