OREGON CONTENTS FOREWORD DEDICATION SUPERIN TEN I KENT’S M ESS A(I ADMINISTRATION FACULTY CLASSES STUDENT ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS CONTRIBUTORS To reflect the spirit ‘as well as to picture the life of Imbler high school during the school year of nineteen hundred forty-four is the purpose of this volume of “Golden Reveries. If through these pages of a written record, we shall preserve for you memories of the loyalty, the co-operation, the progress of the Imbler high school and its students anil faculty—memories of the indefinable something called school spirit that sometimes grips you and inspires you. Today our school is considered one of the strongest smaller high schools in Eastern Oregon and is well known throughout the state of Oregon for honors, both state and national. THE PANTHER Symbol of our school and school spirit Sckoolkouse amil (jrymnasmm For more than a score of years the Imbler High School has served this community, sending out a steady stream of young men and women who have made a noteworthy contribution to the civic, cultural, commercial, and industrial life of this community, state and nation. We are imbued with one passion and strive unitedly toward one end—that our school be as good a school as can be made. If our faith in each other and our institution is firm; if our friendliness is true; and if we work together earnestly and constructively, then we shall be weaving a pattern worthy of this school we love. DEDICATION The 1944 Imbler “Golden Reveries” is dedicated to the many former students of the Imbler High School and to the many young- men from the communities that tins school serves who are now fighting in the armed forces of the United States. MH. ALBERT HOPKINS Sti pern in ten dejnt’s Address • � The citizens of our community have made the sacrifices necessary to provide the educational opportunities because they believe the training and equipment of future citizens constitutes the wisest and most fruitful guarantee of the progress, prosperity, and stability of the state. It therefore becomes your duty to make such use of the opportunities offered you as will vindicate their faith in the wisdom and value of providing opportunities for education at public expense. Xo Alma Mater wants a child to hide behind her skirts, but rather to stop out and give evidence that it has been prepared to face the problems of life. To the class of lf� 44. now completing their four-year standard course of study of the Imbler high school, we wish them well. We shall look to them for distinction in service and in willingness to serve in this great nation of ours. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mr. Claude M. Hale, chairman of the school board, helps rule the- destinies of the Imbler schools. He has always proven a friend of the student. has time and again proven his sincere interest in their well being. Mr. Hale has shown a lively interest in the development of education in Imbler. Mr. Oscar Howell, a member of the boa re1 of directors for many years has become indispensable to the school administration. Mr. Howell helps guide our school with a hand that is firm, yet kindly. He is really a splendid fellow who gives time, energy, and driving force to the school until it hurts. MIC OSCAR HOWELL 1937-1946 Mr. F. C. Hunt, one of the newest additions to the Hoard, yet he is om of the most valuable. He has become a generating forte behind the program of our school administration. In electing Mr. Hunt on the Hoard of Directors, they have given us an open-minded, courageous man who has the courage of his own convictions. MR. F. C. HI NT 1942-1944 Mr. Leonard Hillings, clerk of the School Hoard, is the man that handles tlu school money. He keeps the books under the direction of the Board of I )irectors and is the watc h-dog of the school finances.

Those were trying days for the teachers of kindergarten and first grade as well as for the boys and girls themselves, for the girls were always crying and the boys so bashful they could hardly tell their names. However, the newness soon wore olT and school days were happy days for mothers, teachers and the pupils themselves. It was quite a thrilling thing to l e able to say, “I’m in the first grade now,” and fond mothers proudly displayed the samples of handwork their children took home. First grade is often considered rather unimportant in the general school program but in this school the boys and girls learned many valuable lessons of daily living that will always be a part of their character. 1 believe we are safe in saying that some of the most important lessons of life are learned in the primary grade. In the first grades boys and girls must learn to take their place in a new phase of our social order. They become a part of the community instead of the center of attraction. They are one of a group, not the star performer, as is so often the case in the home. In the primary grades the boys and girls of this class had to learn how to get along with other children. True, there were some rough times on the play ground and on the way to and from school but these differences were only a part of the training necessary, or so the winners believed. In.the first grade the boys and girls learned the first rudiments of reading and writing. They learned how to sit still for brief periods of time, and how to do certain things that call for coordination of muscles, and how to apply themselves to certain tasks. They were getting bigger day by day, and older, too. Some of them even lost some of their teeth and talked with a peculiar accent. Second and third grade years passed rather uneventfully. Some of the pupils were absent from school for a considerable time because of an epidemic of measles in the spring. Some of the more adept pupils were promoted to higher grades; some moved away from the community and some new members were added from time to time. In the fourth grade the boys and girls began to take a peculiar dislike to each other. There was much‘‘name calling” and some competing for the honors of the class. The boys took delight in supplying the school with things of nature—such things as dead snakes, and sometimes live ones, white rats, baby mice, toads anti snails appeared in the queerest places and at the most inopportune times. The girl were growing taller than the boys and felt superior in every way. They could scarcely tolerate the boys long enough to sit next to them in class. The quarreling that went on was a sore trial to the patient teachers and parents as well. Conducting classes in this grade was not easy because the girls excelled in reading and language while the boys found mathematics and manual arts more to their liking. Still the year soon passed and the class moved on another grade. The fifth grade work was similar to that of the fourth grade. In fact, the routine and studies were practically the same and there was little change in the tempo of school life. In the fall when the class entered the school as sixth graders, many difficulties presented themselves. Uncertainty and rebellious attitudes tried the teachers almost to distraction. Sometimes both boys and girls seemed possessed of some sort of evil spirit. It was a happy day when this class was promoted into the seventh grade where the work was exacting enough to keep some of the pupils out of mischief. Grades seven and eight are often considered the most difficult of all. However, this class took these grades in their stride and most of the members passed with Hying colors. Perhaps this was because the school days were so filled with classes and studies there was little time to think of mischief. Then too, high school day’s loomed ahead and every member was anxious to get into high school where there was lots of fun going on at all times. Boy and girl friendships began to take the place of rivalry. Dates supplanted name calling and snubbing. Home work often formed an excellent excuse for getting together. As members of this class grew in stature, they also grew in wisdom. Then came high school and three years more of studies and exciting activities. Dates, not historical, became all important and little by little different courses were completed and new tasks begun. The work was often very difficult and the midnight lights burned brightly while sleepy boys and girls poured over geometry, physics and those various subjects included in the high school curriculum. Those days are over with this commencement season. The members of this graduating class have completed the prescribed course of study of this school and stand ready for new fields. The members of the Senior Class of Imbler High School, being of unsound mind, of weak heart, and having but a few short hours to dwell among the horrors of the trials and tribulations of our high school days, and being on the verge of departing for realms unknown, do make, publish, and declare this to lx our last will and testament. Clause 1. It is our request that the janitor gather up all the wads of gum that may be found in our class rooms and under our desks and have them molded into a monument to lx erected to our memory on the northeast corner of the northwest section of the flag pole. Clause 2. Our text books will lx found in good condition. They have been little used, and less frequently read. It is our desire that a shelf lx set apart in the library and these books lx placed on this shelf as a memorial library. Clause 3. There are some little people who live down in the fourth house from Senior Avenue, with few brains and no manners. They are known as Freshmen. If they show any degree of resemblance to us before they get to lx fifty years of age they are to have the interest which has accumulated on the trust fund of one cent we hereby set aside for that purpose. Clause 4. To our friends, the Sophomores, we leave one worn out pencil eraser. They will need it to cover up and erase the many mistakes they make. If, however, they should show any signs of intelligence by the time they reach the Junior year, they are to be permitted to entertain the Seniors at an elegant banquet. Clause 5. In the study hall is a group of relatives of ours—that is, they claim to lx relatives. It is our request that upon attaining their senior majority they lx given all of the personal effects which follow the Senior cap and gown. In our library at home will be found a manual entitled: “How Seniors Acquire Dignity.’ We will and bequeath this book to them in the hopes that they may acquire a little more dignity than they have thus far shown. Clause 6. We have always had a deep regard for a group of friends who dropped in daily and brought us the choicest dates of history, the most delicious pi of mathematics. and sometimes presented us with gifts of rare and priceless gems of literature. Out of our great love for them we will them our grateful thanks for their kind companionship and their wise guidance to us lx� th in our childhood and adult days. To the kind faculty members who have been friends along the way, and neighbors in the class rooms, we express a wish that they may guide our under-classmen into the wise ways of learning we have traveled. Clause 7. To our alma mater, the only high school which has Ixen a home to us, we will our lasting thanks and expression of appreciation. INDIVIDUAL BEQUESTS We, now, as individuals, will the following: I, Audrey Byer, the class llirt, will my ability to woo the farm boys to Lydia Smith. 1. Lewis Omohundro, the noiseless creature, will my quiet and demure ways to Kenneth Sanderson. I, Bette Westenskow, the college co-ed, will my streamline figure to 1 )uane Schwebke. I, Don Fitzgerald, the bus pugilist, will my fistic manners and false teeth to Worth Hollins. 1, Marion Spencer, the play-boy, will my trailer house, variety of girls, and carefree attitude to Bob Ragsdale. T, Shirley Martin, now grown-up, will my red hair and saucy Irish temper to Annette Paroz. With the utmost appreciation of our faculty, we hereby will and direct that there be delivered to them the following bequests from our personal property: To Mr. William Phillips, our English instructor, a bottle of hair restorer and a well-worn copy of True Romances. To Dr. Harry Heimburger, our Science instructor, a book on exercises to help him preserve that youthful figure. To Miss Myrtie Whitmer. our Commercial teacher, our last pair of prewar spiked-heel shoes. To Mr. Albert Hopkins, our superintendent, a brand new joke book, to replace the old book that has been in use for the past four years. To Mr. Nephi Anderson, our custodian and friend, we leave our wholehearted thanks for all you have done for us—also the chewing gum under the Senior desks. In Witness Whereof, we have to this, our last will and testament, affixed our fingerprints, and nourishing signatures. THE SENIORS OF 15M-T44. CLASS GRUMBLER I am the class grumbler. It is my duty and my delight to voice the complaints of the members of this graduating class. We are. generally, an agreeable lot but since we are given this opportunity to express complaints we are going to take advantage of the opportunity. Throughout the school years we have had to take what others said and have not been allowed to talk back to our betters. Today we are given an opportunity to say some of the things we have been keeping to ourselves these many years. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. 9. 10. 1 1. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

Why does the school. (Period) CLASS PROPHECY rodav this class stands in the great doorway of life. Behind them is twelve or thirteen years of schooling—years of hard work and play—years spent under the careful guidance of parents and teachers—years employed in growing up mentally, as well as physically —years of preparation for taking their place in the life of the community and state, and possibly of the world. Before the class is the future—the great unknown and unexplored. Human nature is curious. 1 here is always anxiety over what the future will bring. People are ever trying to find out what is going on; sometimes it is their business and sometimes it is not. The old saying, ‘‘Curiosity killed a cat,” is often offered a an excuse or alibi for some one’s prying into something they do not understand, fortune tellers have long found a ready trade for their methods of looking into the future and appearing to foretell what lies ahead for gullible men and women who will “cross the palm with silver.” It seems no one is immune to curiosity about the future. We are all curious and we are all apt to try to pry into the secrets of the future by reading tea leaves, gazing into crystal balls, studying the stars, watching to see if the ground hog sees his shadow, and so on. The class prophecy, now a traditional part of the annual, is but another evidence of the natural tendency of human heings to Ik curious about the future. It is an attempt, in fun of course generally, to delve into future lives of those graduating from the school. There is a folk custom or tradition often employed at Halloween time as part of the entertainment that offers a suggestion for your Class Prophecy. A young man or woman walks backward down stairs while gazing into a mirror held in the hand. The objective of this gymnastic stunt is for the actor to see his or her prospective mate in the mirror. It is not our intention to attempt to look into the future by walking down stairs backward, mirror or no mirror, but we would like to look over our shoulder into the great mirror of life and see what is taking place some twenty or fifty years hence. Let us pretend that back of us is a great mirror. We look into it. We see a portly gentleman standing behind a great desk. He is wearing a cloak that looks like those worn by members of the Supreme Court. Now we recognize this man LKWIS OMOHCNDRO— he was salutatorian of the class of 1944 of Imhler High School. That lady beside him surely must be SHIRLEY MARTIN who was valedictorian of that same class. A hand is raised—the vision vanishes and another robed figure comes into the scene. It is a college commencement and a long line of robed students are passing a desk. Behold! One of these students is Al’DREY BYER, tin-class beauty of 1944 and the college commencement speaker is MARION SPENCER. Do my eyes deceive me? On this very program DON FITZGERALD will receive an honorary doctor’s degree, and BETTE WESTENSKOW is receiving her degree in medicine. This just proves one never can tell what the future will bring.

Lloyd __Loren Varner oalufaforian Address OUR AMERICAN WAY LKWIS OMOHl’NDRO We conn to our graduation from high school when there is a great world conflict raging. We come to the time of our graduation when the ideals of the ages are being upset by those who would turn the clock of time back into the dark ages of the centuries gone by. It is not our American way that we should turn back to the dark ages Ix'fore man’s rise to power within himself. It is not our American way to stand idl In and let the tyrants force out all the good of the world and strip people of the rights they have struggled for all these years. It is not the American way to say that one person shall be the supreme dictator over his fellowmen. It is not the American way to say that those who are governed shall have no voice in government. It is not the American way to say that people shall revert back to the age of slavery. It is the American way to revolt against those forces which would take from you and from me—and from all the other peoples of this earth—their (iod-given rights. Wight of free speech, right of free press, right of free assemblage, right of free worship. It is the American way to guarantee to every man, woman, and child, the right to liberty and happiness. It is the American way to work for the common defense and the general welfare of all. It is the American way to recognize that government is but the instrument which rules those governed. It is the American way to believe that government derives its authority from the consent of the governed. It is the American way to recognize the right of every individual to develop into a healthy, wel 1-educateed citizen. For only through a nation of strong, healthy citizens, well educated and well read can democracy expect to endure. It is the American way that the people of this nation shall have security of jobs and home; that citizens of this nation shall have the right to possess their own property, which shall not lx taken from them without due process of law. No tyrant shall issue an edict making a state of slavery for one, and elevating another to a place of riches. Kach shall have a right to grow up in his own individual way. The American way of life is now threatened by those who wish the ideals upon which this nation is founded to be taken from our people. The American way of life is threatened by the greedy, unprincipled leaders who would make tlv world serve their own selfish ends. Kven now these leaders come closer and closer to our shores, undermining all that we have fought for in all these centuries. It is not the American way of life to stand by and see our nation ravaged. It is the American way of life to seek the right of all nations, whether large or small, to exist and have the governments which their citizens want. It is the American way of life to rise in one united effort, as one man, to protect tin ideals for which humanity has fought through the long, long ages. Today we stand united as only Americans can when our institutions are threatened. So we who graduate from this high school tonight, stand ready to fight with other Americans for America, for the ideals which shall liberate the down-trodden nations, and keep us free for the centuries to come. I his is our American way for youth. We shall seek to keep clear from obstruction, America’s pathway to the future. Valedictorian Add ress OUR IMMEDIATE TASK SHIRLEY MARTIN We graduate from high school tonight. We have completed a task which was given ns some years ago. We completed this task of the years only because each year as we advanced from one grade level to another we grasped the immediate task ahead. We stand facing a parting of the ways. We go forth from high school. A large task awaits us. Yet we know from the years through which we have traveled that a great task is but a number of smaller tasks. We know that a year’s accomplishment is made up of the achievements of each day. We know that the immediate task for anyone is to grasp the job at hand. The immediate task is to live today that we may be prepared for tomorrow. The greater task lies just ahead. These are the days when we are all mindful that the welfare of the individual is tied up with the welfare of the nation. These are the days when we realize that the immediate task for any nation is to do his utmost to defend the nation’s welfare. Wc know that it is the immediate task of the individual to place aside selfish interests for the benefit of the country’s needs. These arc the days when all thoughts of personal interest must lx shoved into the background. We must all work for the larger goal of national progress. Our immediate task is to try to determine how lx st we can serve in this hour of our country’s need. What work can we take up? What service can we render? To figure out our proper place in the scheme of things is the task which now confronts us as we graduate from high school. We have found from our experiences in high school that we must concentrate on the problem at hand if we are to win. On the gridiron the football players concentrated on the task at hand. They gave their best energy. In the classrooms the problem at hand had to lx grasped with the full ability of the student to successfully overcome the difficulty. Putting one’s l est energy into the task at hand is the only way. we well know, to tackle the job ahead. We must get a viewpoint that only by serving the nation as a whole can we serve ourselves or work for our own best interests. Rationing as we know it on a national scope has shown us how futile it is to amass a personal fortune while those around an individual starve. Scarcity of materials has taught us that there is something more useful to the person than the accumulation of material wealth. One must first have an abundant supply of the will and the grit and the determination to see a thing through. That is the characteristic which has made America strong. That is the characteristic which has saved America in the crisis of the hour. So it lx comes our immediate task to fit ourselves for effective citizenship in this nation. We must equip ourselves by training to handle any problem which arises. We must guard our health and strength that we may Ik able to physically stand up under the demands of service the nation may place upon us. We must develop those latent characteristics within us which will make us good followers as well as good leaders. We must develop a confidence in our own strength and ability. We must have a firm belief in ourselves and in the work which we are to do. From the experience of the past we learn our lessons for the future. A nation is strong because its citizens are strong. A nation is trustworthy because its citizens are trustworthy. A nation has ideals because the citizens have ideals. A nation survives because of the will of the citizens to survive. A nation makes its place in history because the citizens are determined that the nation shall have an illustrious page in the annals of history. It is our immediate task to find our proper sphere for service in the crisis now facing our nation. Class jPresicleiit s Response MARION SPENCER As president of the Senior class I wish to speak for my classmate's and myself our apprecitaion of these diplomas. We accept them as a symbol of the work we have done in this school system and an evidence of having completed the prescribed course of study of this high school and the state of Oregon. But to us they are more than that for they also stand for the sacrifice the people of this community have made that we might have the advantage of a high school education. They stand for the help and encouragement we have had from our parents, and the guidance and inspiration of our teachers. We realize that in accepting this diploma we also accept a responsibility an obligation—to carry on along the lines we have been taught here that we shall be worthy representatives of the school which tonight l estows this honor upon us. We shall try to live up to the high standard set for us by the ideals and traditions of this school.. and prove worthy of your investment in us. Again I thank you in the name of the class of 1944 for these diplomas, evidence of our graduation. Junior-Scmo r Banquet The Junior-Senior banquet was given at the Nook cafe in La Grande. Max 3. 1944. War conditions interfered somewhat with the planning of this program, but the Juniors succeeded in giving a splendid dinner.

In the one-act play contest we presented “A Penny Saved” and tied with the Juniors for first place. Those participating in the play were' Wesley Conrad, Rose Marie Hopkins, Bill Lanman, Mary Furman, Floyd Daniels, and Vadna Dale. Several of our boys were on tlu- first team in both basketball and baseball and also took part in the track meet which was held in Union. We took our half-day holiday on April U). Most of the class went to La Grande on a theatre party; the others stayed in Imbler and had a weiner roast. We are proud of the record we have made during the past year, both in class work and in the pep contest, and are looking forward to an even better year as Juniors. The Freshman Class survived many spine-congealing and blood curdling experiences of initiation and with H. V. (Doc.) Heimburger as advisor have worked through the year to a photo-finish. The Freshmen presented “Straw in Her Hair” in the one-act play contest.
