Philippine Islands. 1 loppy”, as he was familiarly known by all members of this command, was a soldier of great leadership, admirable character and an unending devotion to duty. His pleasing ways will long be remembered and the loss of such a tine soldier regretted by all who knew him and served with him. He was aggressively leading his platoon in an attack against an enemy position near Iratag, Palawan. Philippine Islands. Frank was killed instantly, thereby being relieved of the suffering from wounds.

We leave this paper in order that all may know what our wishes are concerning our high school belongings. Realizing that we might have made more of our opportunities while we wen-students of Imbler high school we wish to give some advice to the members of other classes. First: Try to make good grades. You take then: with you when you leave, and you will lx glad if they are a credit to you. Second: Don’t try to make an impression on other classes. The other classes do not appreciate your efforts, and they are too busy trying to impress everyone else to pay any attention to you. Third: Don’t store chewing gum on the chairs and desks for future use. It always tastes like varnish when you try to use it again, and you can never be too certain it is your chewing gum. Fourth: Don’t try to fool the teachers. They are on to the game. Once they went to high school and played the same tricks that you may attempt. We tried and only to our sorrow. There are some things that we wish the person who finds this paper would do for us. We want to dispose of certain of our belongings, and impose upon the finder the trust to carry out our wishes. First: We leave our good looks to the Freshmen. They need them. Our brains would be of no use to them. They have some of their own. Second. To the sophomores we leave our desire to be the outstanding and and smartest class in high school. Third: To the Juniors we leave the task of doing everything we have left un- done when they get to be Seniors (They don’t have much to do.) Fourth: To the faculty we leave the job of running the high school without our valuable aid and suggestions; and without the inspiration we gave them in their work. The Seniors as individuals will the following: I. Shirley Hibberd, do hereby will my singing ability to Claire German. Maybe you can get into the opera. I. Bill Howell, do hereby will my ability to make girls swoon to Buddy Glenn. It comes in handy sometimes. I. Elva McKinnis, do hereby will my merchant marine jewelry to Roberta Roberts. I’m expecting a new shipment any day. I. John Couzens, do hereby will my Model A to Wdlodean Fisher. (P. S. You’ll have to buy a new tube of tire patch. I used all of the last tube.) I. Don Hill, do hereby will my big feet to Dorothy Benteen. I hope she will have a letter understanding than I. I. Duane Schwebke, do hereby will my hog calling ability to Lottie Hill. Bacon is scarce nowadays, you know. 1. Leon Paroz, do hereby will my manly whisker.; to Bill Lanman, hoping that he will grow up some day. I. Shirley Wilson, do hereby will my wad of gum to Annette Paroz. Hang on to it. it’s hard to get nowadays. We as a class do hereby will to all the classes that follow us. the same pleasures and inspiration that we received from high school. Signed: SENIOR CLASS OF IMBLER HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Written by a Junior, Rose Marie Hopkins It was a beautiful moonlit night on October 31, 1960. A tall, beautiful, graceful woman strolled leisurely down a woodland path. She was Mrs. Umpty-Woodle. the wife of the president of the United States of South America. She was clad in .1 lovely sky-yellow cellophane dress, made of synthetic rubber which was composed of the juice of lima beans. Those who had known her in the old days would hardly have recognized her as the former Miss Shirley Vee Wilson. As Mrs. Shirley Vee Wilson Umpty-Woodle walked, she musingly recalled her high school days, which had been spent in the dear old Imbler high school in Imbler, Oregon. She thought of the lowly existence that she had spent as a mere freshman, and then later, her exciting life as a high and mighty senior. She wondered what had become of her partners-in-crime; those who had their noses to the grindstone in their school days and who had later graduated with her. She resolved to go to the Old Witch who resided in the middle of the dense woods and who, on Halloween night would tell anything one wanted to know, to those who were brave enough to enter her presence. No sooner thought of than done. In the old days Mrs. Shirley Vee Wilson Umpty-Woodle had been known for her courage and resourcefulness. She set out for the Old Witch’s hut and arrived there at eleven p. m., daylight saving time. The Old Witch sat muttering over the pot which was boiling on a blazing lire. Bravely, Mrs. Shirley Vee Wilson Umpty-Woodle made her request that she might see her high school classmates wherever they might be. The Old Witch arose and threw some green powder into the pot. An orange haze rose over the pot, surrounding the two of them. Then gradually the haze dissolved and where before the pot had been, was a vast desert. There in the middle of the desert was one of the greatest scientists of all time, the eminent John Couzens, who was digging for the bones of the extinct Suzu-Buzu in the sand of the Sahara Desert. This scene faded, and there was a giant red rocket hurtling through space. As the beholders watched, the rocket landed on a strange world, the land of Grosheo which is one of the moons of the planet Jupiter; and who should step out but the famous explorer, Bill Howell. In another moment he was battling furiously with the purple Grosheosone, who are the inhabitants of this land. Behind him. valiantly wielding her Buck Roger's spray gun. was his wife, the former Shirley Ann Hibberd. Their old Imbler High School friends will remember how well the two always got along. Suddenly a loud war whoop split the stillness of the night. It was Don Hill, the cowboy, rounding up his purebred whitefaced sheep on a remote goat ranch in the hills of Carolina. He was using a jeep reconverted from a helicoptor for conveyance. Next there appears a tall flagpole, minus the flag, on top of which appeared Duane Schwebke, the handsome wavy-haired casanova of Imbler high. Duane is the champion flagpoel sitter as he has sat there for 365Vi days practically without food, water, or air. You can see the girls swooning below. Now there is Admiral Leon Paroz of the U. S. Navy. He is the supreme commander of the entire Army, Navy, Marine Corps. Air Corps, and Coast Guard, but modestly refuses to take any title greater than Admiral. There next appears Miss Elva McKinnis who is first, second, and third secretary to the Emperor of the Emperor of the Commonwealth of the East Asiatic Northerners in Africa. Miss McKinnis got her training in the office of Imbler High. Last, and most certainly least, appears the pig grower, Professor Albert B. Hopkins, who obtained his degree in Pigology from the University of Pigosis in Delaware. He is at present residing on the island of Franklin D. Roosevelt which was formerly Honshu Island in Japan. Mr. Hopkins was formerly the superintendent of Imbler Public Schools of Imbler, Oregon. The scenes fade away to the strains of ' Stardust which was being played on the request hour over station KLBM, La Grande, Oregon.

The intense heat of the Alaska climate has greatly added to the intelligence of both Mr. Hopkins and Elva. Duane Schwebke is now the Reverend pastor of Summerville, Oregon. His sermons are so soothing that his whole congregation goes to sleep occasionally. John Couzens, Doctor of Medicine, is making quite a name for himself as the head of a clinic for the removal of outgrown toenails in East Australia. Shirley Wilson is the first woman ever appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her first move after she was appointed was to have the Supreme Court bench repainted and redecorated with white polka-dotted damask. Donald Hill has charge of the new macaroni factory in Alicel, Oregon. They are making a new macaroni product by stuffing the macaroni with (he holes of doughnuts. Who doesn’t like the funnies? A new cartoonist will make his appearance in this paper next Sunday. He runs a strip entitled, Pink-eye, the Snail Eater.” He draws pictures under the name of Jim. the Ant Killer; but in real life he is none other than Leon Paroz. Shirley Hibbcrd, famous for her cooking and author of her own auth-orative cook-book entitled, How to Feed Your Family On Little Or Nothing has just created a new recipe that is sweeping the country. For your convenience, we are printing it below. POINT SAVING MEAT SUBSTITUTE 1 cup baking powder Vi cup soda (finely ground) 1 teaspoon pepper 2 finely ground apples (whole) 1 cup of All-Bran 1 tablespoon white beans '2 cup distilled water 10 lbs. enriched cake flour 1 tablespoon green food coloring Mix ingredients thoroughly and bake for 2l i hours in an oven at a very high temperature. Miss Hibberd let Mr. Bill Howell be the first to try her new recipe. Funeral services will be held for Mr. Bill Howell at the Summerville chapel at 2:30 p. m. Tuesday, Rev. Duane Schwebke officiating. Bill Howell died suddenly yesterday afternoon. The world lost a truly great man. He had been hailed as a second Edison and Marconi combined. His last invention was a self-lighting cigarette that made him millions and put his name in the nation’s mouth. He was working on a non-squirting grapefruit at the time of his death. If it would have proved successful he would have been known to every breakfast table in America. SENIOR GOSSIP Well, when we come back next year after three months vacation, we’re going to be mighty lonesome without our Senior class to worry us and help us. The Juniors have a lot to live up to if they are as good as the Seniors are. Gossip has it that Elva is going to work in an office this summer. We hope she enjoys her work immensely—and doesn’t drive her boss crazy. Susie, Annie, and Evvie say: If a girl speaks to everyone, she’s forward, If she doesn’t, she’s bashful. If she talks she’s a flirt, If she doesn’t, she’s a high-hat. If she’s smart in school, she’s a highbrow. If she isn’t she’s dumb. If she talks about others, she’s catty, If she talks about herself she’s conceited. If she’s popular, she’s talked about, If she isn’t she’s a dud. If she goes with boys she’s a pick-up. If she doesn’t she’s a wall-flower. THERE JUST AIN’T NO JUSTICE ! ! ! ! Annie has had a lot of fun this year flirting with Freddie. (And don’t say Freddy hasn’t flirted back.) It looks like Johnnie has gone back on Imbler girls. He spent most of Ins time either in La Grande or Elgin. We hear by a round-about-way that Duane would like to buy a farm and settle down. Won’t it seem funny to see Duane pitch hay instead of woo? 1’arzec is planning on joining the Coast Guard before school is out. Loads of luck, Leon. It looks like Don Hill is just a farmer boy at heart. (Who knows, maybe he’ll marry the farmer’s daughter.) Freddy has really been going to town with his trumpet, lake notice folks—he may be famous some day. Susie spent all of her spare time working in the store. Maybe if she keeps on she’ll have a store of her own some day.

These honors go to: JOHN COUZENS SHIRLEY WILSON VALEDICTORIAN ADDRESS SHIRLEY WILSON WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE The English language is quite inadequate to express to you how welcome you are at this time. We are glad you are here and that you wanted to come. We are glad to be able to show you that we have completed what we set out to do. We fear that sometimes you—along with our teachers—have doubted that we would all come under the wire, but way down deep in our hearts we could not bear to disappoint you. If the truth must be told, there have been times when our own impulse was to take life easier than we did, for youth, you know, dearly loves a good time. But along with our other education we learned that a good time—that is, a time which is everlastingly pleasureable—is one in which duty is given the right of way. So we thank you for expecting a good deal of us. and for showing us that you had every confidence we would make good. We appreciate the fact that this is but the commencement of the longer journey, but our diplomas helped to reassure us and 1 trust they will reassure you, that Well begun is half done.” In welcoming you at this moment, we would indeed lie remiss if we did not pay our respects to the men and women and the young people of yesteryear. If it had not been for the sacrifices and the labors of men and women who have believed in youth and education and the things waiting to be done by those trained to do them, our educational facilities would not be what they are today. If it had not been for you, our loyal friends, oi.r preceptors, our parents, and those who have been willing to invest their funds in great educational institutions for the advancement of the race, we should not stand here tonight, just inside of the Open Door to Life and its realities. Youth is sometimes charged with taking over-much for granted, with demanding everything in sight, with readiness to reform the universe. Can you blame us entirely? We have lived in a time of abundance and prosperity and scientific wonders and marvels of invention and exploration. We have been trained by what has happened, to expect that almost anything may happen. And when someone tells us that the day is not far distant when television will be as successful as radio reception today; that we are on the verge of communication with other planets; and that many miracles of life will shortly be revealed—we see no reason to doubt it. or to think that the prognosticator is naturally touched. We have been given so much that we expect much—and we are not unmindful that of those to whom much is given, much is expected. Yes, youth of today is ambitious—and why not? If it were not for ambition we would be lacking in incentive many times, to do not only the big things waiting to be done, but to have the courage of the commonplace which leads steadily onward and upward. We want much and we are willing—at least, the right-minded ones of us, to work and sacrifice that we may possess and serve. Older people, we know, often smile when they hear our Commencement theses, and our advice on how to run the government, and how to right many existing wrongs and journey forward on far quests. Doubtless we are seemingly audacious in many respects, but after all, if we did not give our imaginations reasonable rein we should not be likely to attempt big things, and we would develop rapidly into stodgy, middle-aged men and women, satisfied with mediocrity. We are perfectly conscious that we must beware of making irrevocable errors, and be careful lest we make precipitate and unwarranted actions. Youth needs to be careful about the making of errors which, once made, can never be rectified. Regret and remorse cannot blot out such errors. They cannot recall harsh words, injustices or deceits. They cannot wipe out the result of weakening habits which we permit or encourage. Our forward march must be conducted with growing intelligence, and we hope that we shall be gifted with such calmness of judgment and wisdom as has marked the careers of those who are carrying the burden of the world's work of today. We are encouraged and stimulated by your faith in us. The clasp of your hands, what you say and what you feel but do not always express, mean much to us who are going forth to undertake new tasks. We shall strive to make you feel in the years to come that this was an important occasion for you and for us. The men who are now guiding the destinies of the world once stood where we stand at the parting of the ways, and they too, had their friends. We welcome you here, not in a perfunctory manner but from the depths of our hearts. We are going on, and we shall be accompanied by the cheering memory of this gathering and all it stands for. We would bespeak your interest and confidence in those who will come after. In their name, as well as in our own, we salute and thank you, that you have turned aside long enough to bless us with your presence. SALUTATORIAN ADDRESS A BRAVE NEW WORLD ELVA McKINNIS We graduate from high school into a new era for civilization. Wc go forth into a world filled with disappointments and bitter sorrows; a world which has been thrust into defending the rights of man with blood, sweat, and tears”; a world battle scarred and weary—but we go forth into a world looking with faith and courage into the future. We go forth into a brave new world. Never has the faith of man in his own destiny been so tried as in the last few years. Never has there been such cause for those who believe in the onward march of civilization to doubt man’s ultimate goal so much as in these years of raging conflict through which the world has struggled. The young people who graduate from high school this year have a serious outlook on life. We know that it is our mission in life to help restore to the world an age of peace, to maintain that peace and to preserve that peace for the future. We know that much work is to be done before nations can cast aside the barriers of centuries and dwell together in harmony. We know that much work must be done before nations can change their outlook from a national to an international point of view. Yet bravely the world tackles the job ahead. It is a brave new world which dares to lift its feet from the ground, to stretch wings, and soar into a commercial and industrial world of the air. It is quite a change from the foot-trodden paths of the commercial highways to the air age ahead of us. Picture the pioneer pushing into the frontier of our own nation in the years now gone. With rifle and worldly goods he went forth to work out his destiny in the woodlands and the wilderness of our own country. Gradually the world of commerce and industry crowded in upon the lonely frontiersman. Came the stage coach and pony express riders. Came the steamboat supplanting the slower moving tug boats and sail boats. Came the railroads opening up the interior of the country. Came the great ocean-going steam freighters, developing world commerce and industry. But always with the onward trend of commerce man kept his feet near mother earth. Now we have embarked into the air age. We dare to lift our feet off the ground and soar forth to new duties ahead. Perhaps the advent of the air age is but a symbol of the bravery with which man tackles the new problems ahead. It has not been so many years ago that the world was gripped by the pangs of a great depression. It seemed that man could not find his way forward. The world seemed caught in a mire of stagnation. But we found a way forward. We go forward into a new world; a world of men and women who firmly believe that they can work out their destinies in a peaceful world. There are many problems to overcome before a world-wide peace can be established. National prejudices must be overcome. People must change attitudes and opinions. They must learn to work with other people of other nations. We must learn to live as next door neighbors with the people of the South Pacific Islands. We must learn to live as next door neighbors to the people of Asia and Europe. We must learn to live in a world of widening opportunities with complex problems, shrunken in space by the airplane of the future. It would be national suicide for the United States to try to crawl back into its shell of nationalism, and close its eyes to the problems and the opportunities ahead. Being Americans we could never submit the cowardly way of meeting an issue. We meet as only true Americans can—we go forth into a brave new world—meeting each day with its task to be done. We hope that youth can find its place—work furiously—accomplish much, and help move the world on to a better day ahead.

I thank you for your commendation and the kindly wishes with which you presented them. We are most happy to have you appreciate us, for 1 will admit, we have worked hard to leave with our school a worthy record. In accepting these diplomas, it is our wish that they may be not only an evidence of past attainments but an incentive to greater achievement. We hope they may be a reminder that the school which granted them to us expects us to make good. We thank you for this material proof of our accomplishments. What we cannot thank you for is the foundation of character and education our school has given us; the ability to perform a noble work in life; the memory of the happy years we have spent as students of Irnbler High. We accept our diplomas hoping that in whatever field we may work, no reproach may be brought upon this school by a member of the class of 1945.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY BILL HOWELL President Imbler High School Student Body As president of the Imbler High School Student Body I express an appreciation to the members of the board, to the faculty, and to our school associates for the cooperation given us during our high school days. Without the help of all it would not now be possible for each member of this class to clutch proudly a high school diploma. We are young and we have made mistakes. It is but natural that there have been some times when we have lagged a little on the job: and yet never did we mean to hinder our high school in so doing. Never did we wilfully shirk our duty. We have wished to discharge honorably our responsibilities as members of the student body. We realize that certain responsibilities do rest upon our shoulders. We realize that we should conduct ourselves in the future in a way that we shall always reflect credit upon the school which has awarded to us. diplomas. We want to do our part to bring about an era of good will among nations. We want to do our part to help develop civilization in the air age. We want to do our part in helping the world emerge from an age of war into a period of peace. We want to have a part in developing the program which will make the airplane a force for creating friendliness among peoples. We go forth into a world surrounded by a new highway—the highway of the air. We go forth to pioneer in a new world minus geopraph-ical barriers. We shall travel the universal highway where men of all colors, all creeds, all languages shall trek toward their destinations. It is our hope that we may be able to meet the responsibilities of our generation. We hope to make a worthwhile contribution to the new era ahead. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 f r 4 4 SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomores sponsored the Freshman initiation a few weeks after school began, and started the frightened Freshmen on their lively journey in high school.
