Imbler High School - Golden Reveries Yearbook (Imbler, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 146 of the 1946 volume:

MR. NKPHI ALMA ANDERSON On the evening of February 7. 1946, the town of Imbler received the news of the death of Mr. Nephi Anderson. The Imbler High School students and faculty were especially grieved to hear of this, for Mr. Anderson, who had been the custodian of the Imbler Schools since 1928, was, to all who knew him, a friend and comrade. In October, 1945, Mr. Anderson was forced to retire because of his failing health which would not permit him to perform active labor. Nephi Alma Anderson was born March 17. 1876, at Hyrum, Utah. H� had resided in Union County for forty-five years, making his home in Imbler. where he reared his family. He loaves his wife, Zilpah, of Imbler; three sons, Theron. of Huntington Park, California; Lynn, of La Grande, Oregon; and Donal, of Union, Oregon. Donal is a recent graduate of Imbler High School. Also surviving is a brother, Wilford Anderson, of Portland. Oregon, and other relatives. The body lay in state at the Anderson home in Imbler from 10 a. ni. to 12 p. m. on Sunday, and funeral services were held at 2 p. m., February 10, 1946, in the Latter Day Saints Church in Imbler, of which he was a member. Pall-bearers were Bob Byer, Lee Richeson, John Berry, Howard Wilson, Dick Howell, and Jesse Berry, all of whom are or have been mem-bers of the Imbler High School Student Body. Burial took place in the Summerville cemetery. Bare facts alone cannot reveal the character of Mr. Anderson. He was an institution at Imbler Schools. He saw teachers come and go. He saw students start in the first grade, and twelve years later, graduate, going out into the world as good citizens of America. And all those who recall their days at Imbler Schools, will remember Mr. Anderson, an understanding friend, a helper, and an inspiration for clean Christian living. • f f ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft oldest One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Six STAFF Editor: Rose Marie Hopkins Manager: Bill Lanman Advisor: Mr. Albert Hopkins Published by the Associated Students of Imbler High School Imbler, Oregon Don’t live in the past; look to the future”, is tfoixl advice, but there will be times when we will 9 think again of our days at Imbler High School and the years ’45 and ’46. No one will blame us. 9 With this thought in mind, we have compiled f the contents of this annual. Between the covers of this book, are recalled with words and pictures the story of this school year. We have tried to make live again the activities of the students and faculty, so that when we spare a moment 9 from our work or play to look back on our high school days, we will be able to remember them more clearly 9 by this volume of “Golden Reveries.” c r FOREWORD DEDICATION SUPERINTENDENT’S PAG! ADMINISTRATION FACULTY CLASSES STUIDENT ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS CONTRIBUTORS NOTE: The contents of this lv ok, save the departmental news or unless otherwise designated, was written by the Editorial Staff, comprised of Rose Marie Hopkins nad Joan Pa roz. e D I G Jl T IOJM To labor arduously, giving unstinting of time, energy, experience, and wisdom, is not rare in this land of industrious selfadvancement when it is done in order to further one’s own resources, but when it is performed conscientiously and cheerfully each year for the benefit of someone else it is indeed an unusual occu ranee. No group of public workers has more fault found with it or receives more unreasonable requests. To act as scapegoat to angry parents who think their erring children perfect; to be always calm, judicial, and progressive, and to remain on speaking terms with other people—all this is a herculean task and deserves our highest approbation. It is with pride and admiration that lmbler High School points to the faculty that has maintained this record for the past three years. Miss Myrtie Whitmer, commercial teacher, has been an example for studious thought and for kind and courteous behavior. Dr. Harry Heimburger has instructed the lmbler High School students in the fields of elementary mathematics and elementary and advanced science during the three years he has been affiliated with the lmbler Schools. Mr. William Phillips, English and mathematics teacher, has efficiently performed his duties in the classroom and on the athletic fields. Mr. Albert Hopkins, superintendent of the lmbler Public Schools since 1941, also taught social science classes. Competent both as a teacher and an administrator, Mr. Hopkins devoted much time and energy to making lmbler High School a better school. May these instructors, who have consistently and admirably fulfilled their duties, find reward in the achievements of the many boys and girls to whom they have made education an interesting and worthwhile practice. ScAoot rtyouae a td Tin' primary purpose of any school is. of course, education, but under this heading comes many more activities. Education comes, not only from hooks, but from the little trivial incidents of daily living. School life combines many of these moments resulting in lessons learned that will never lx forgotten. School spirit is an ever present force which builds for unity of purpose among all those students who heed its call. Imbler schools have that spirit of loyalty, of unity, of fidelity, of allegiance, anti of co-operation; for co-operation with his fellowman is a lesson learned early. For nearly two score years Imbler schools have stood here, a bulwark against ignorance, illiteracy; a structure built for the purpose of training the youth; an example of our American way of life—free education for our children and our neighbors’ children, made possible by the money of the public—the taxpayers; made possible by the dreams of those far-seeing patriots whose self-deniance. sacrifice, and martyrdom paved the way through the wilderness for freedom and, with freedom, the release from ignorance and the gaining of the truth. Set in the midst of the Grande Ronde Valley, built upon solid and fertile soil, the west windows of the schoolhouse give a breathtaking view of Mt. Emily, whose peak is covered with the white expanses of snow for nearly the whole school year; while in the east, which the school is facing, is Mt. Harris, covered with trees of pine and fir. spruce and hemlock. And by the side of the schoolhouse is the gymnasium, built by popular subscription and called the Wade Hall for the woman who gave the money with which to enlarge and finish it. In this gymnasium are held student body parties, banquets dances, plays, ball games, carnivals, and upon occasion, community gatherings and other affairs. The students of Imbler schools have great traditions to uphold, traditions shared not only with other students in this state, but with the whole nation. For from these schools come the future presidents, senators, representatives. cabinet members, ambassadors, bankers, merchants, farmers, educators. ministers, writers, artists, musicians—people from every walk of life who have one thing in common---------America. J “J ( MR. WIIJJAM LIKINS Iowa-Pleasant drove Run Cheerful and friendly Summerville-Pumpkin Ridge Run Helpful and co-operative MR. CHARLES KEENAN JOJW IJSf I STATION MR. AI.BERT HOPKINS SccfieiititettcteKt Paye Mr. Albert Hopkins has been a member of the Imbler I lie'll School Faculty for seven years. He came to Imbler in 1939 from Nyssa, Oregon, where he was principal of School District Xo. 39, Malheur County, to act as English instructor and athletic coach. In 1941. he was made superintendent of Imbler Schools and has held that position until April 1, 194b, when he resigned to become superintendent of Union Schools, in Union, Oregon. Mr. Hopkins, while a strict disciplinarian, managed during his administration in instill in Imbler High School a spirit of friendliness and co-operation between students and faculty. So, while glad of his advancement, Imbler High School regrets to see him leave, for we know that it is not often that a school gains a man of his character and spirit. The staff of the “Golden Reveries”, to whom Mr. Hopkins has served as a wise and able advisor, joins the Student Body to say: “Goodbye, sir, and the best of luck!” oaxd 'Directors Imbler Public Schools has long had the reputation of being one of the finest of the smaller schools in the Valley, and much of the credit for such a rating goes to our Board of Directors. I’he voters have elected some of the best qualified men in our school district for these positions. Although we were sorry to lose Mr. Claude Hale, who has been a member since 15)35), and Mr. F. C. Hunt, who was elected in 15)42. we feel wo have been fortunate in gaining two such men as Mr. Ben Robinson and Mr. John McKinnis to replace them. Although war added much to the responsibility of administration to the School Board of Directors, they carried out their work efficiently and well, and maintained a high morale and sense of co-operation between directors, faculty, and students. We wish to extend our sincerest congratulations and deepest thanks to those who gave so much of their time and energy to making our school years happy and successful ones. (uvuC MR.

ANDREW PAKOZ w Custodian Imbler High School 1945 € € € € The Student Council is composed of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, manager, assistant manager, editor, assistant editor, a representative from each class, and the faculty advisor. The government of students in their own affairs rests upon the shoulders of each individual. Therefore, capable and afticient students who have at heart the welfare, not of a choice few. but the school as a whole, are elected to fulfill these duties. The Student Council is the factor that makes or changes laws; decides important monev matters pertaining to th buying of Student Body material; and supervises all Student Body functions. The president’s duties are varied, but his most important acts are presenting facts and ideas to the Student Council and presiding over their meetings. In the absence of the president, the vice president presides, otherwise voting on the measures at hand. The secretary writes down tfie minutes of the meetings, and handles all student body correspondence. The treasurer takes care of the books, all money matters, and signs student body checks. The manager is in charge of all business transactions, including that of the student body and the publications. The assistant manager is the manager’s right hand man. and is advanced to the rank of manager the following year. The editor is in charge of the publications, appoints most of the staff, and edits the school paper and the annual year book. The assistant editor aids the editor, meanwhile gaining knowledge for the following year when he becomes editor. The representatives of the four classes are in the Council to present their classes’ views on any issue and to vote as their classes desire. The faculty advisor, the superintendent, is at hand at all times to give advice, and according to the constitution is given the power to veto any laws or standards which do not meet with his approval.

If we went back fifteen or sixteen years in our lives some interesting notes could probably be taken from views of proud parents of persons then one year old, who are high school graduates today. Boy, it might say. twelve months old. very fair complexion, weighs 20 pounds, height immeasurable; eyes are the brightest blue you ever saw, has the cutest dimple in his chin, sticks his toe in his month, tries to say words. He walked from his mother’s lap to a chair across the room, and the mother feels that in some way he never returned. And that might yc any of us. We could follow them for a few years and find them in the first grade. Boys and girls alike, they were a noisy crowd. Their eyes were bright and trusting, but contained a twinkle which caused wonder as to what mischief might have been back in their heads. Their necks and ears had been washed, but under protest. They were curious about everything and could ask more questions than could be answered by a college professor. And so they went, through the grades, learning with varying degrees of eagerness and indifference their ABC’s, multiplication tables, geography, spelling. They learned that turn about is fair play, and that if they wanted to get along, they had to co-operate. They learned other things, too. How to pass notes under the teacher’s watchful eyes, and how to smuggle candy and chewing gum into their desks to eat during study periods. And all this was a part of their school life. Then came the day . . . that day in September, 1942, when they registered as high school students. Freshmen, greenhorns, rookies, the upperclassmen called them. But they didn’t mind. Life was suddenly too new, too exciting, to e bothered with names like that. They were freshmen . . . they were in high school. Besides they knew their turn would come. They had learned that. There were fourteen of them then, seven boys and seven girls, under the supervision of Miss Emilia Michaelson, the science teacher. Many things happened to them that year . . . parties, dress- up day, initiation; and on the more serious side they were introduced to more and varied subjects, more teachers, and that terror of every novice—semester exams. The girls joined the Girls League; some of the boys managed to get on the basketball line-up, an almost impossible feat for freshmen. But this class had possibilities .... They weathered their first year in high school. They became sophomores. Now they could laugh at the new freshmen ... at the rookies. “We could never have been as dumb as that”, they said. Miss Myrtie Whitmer, commercial teacher, was their advisor, and there were still fourteen in the class. They were in charge of the freshmen initiation and dress-up day, and they had new ideas. Now they were a little over the strangeness of high school life; they accepted their school work with words of protest, yet they would not have missed it for anything. Another year had passed. They were juniors. Here was something indeed! Upperclassmen. They felt almost on an equal with the seniors. They had lost some members—and gained some; they now totaled twelve, five boys, seven girls, with Miss Whitmer again as their advisor. They planned a junior play, but the plans fell thru. They gave a basket social ... a great success. They gave the junior-senior banquet —the first formal one in years. Many proclaimed it the best they had ever attended. The summer of 1945 saw the end of war. It wa!� with a different outlook that they went into their senior year. With mingled emotions of regret and happiness, they realized that it was their last year in high school. Again their class had dwindled—to ten, six boys and four girls, and Mr. Albert Hopkins was their advisor. Many activities and honors had been theirs; now they began to think seriously of what they were going to do with their lives. Some of them began to think with misgiving of those wasted moments in their high school davs, moments when they might have been giving closer attention to their studies rather than plagueing the teachers. The boys could not make any definite plans for there was still “selective service”, and they had begun to realize that their America was determined to keep the peace that they had given so much to win. The girls thought of college—should they enroll in that or business school. Or in the event of another immediate war, nursing would lx a good thing to know. They do not laugh quite so much now. They have begun to see, as they never saw before, that life is a serious affair. They are on the threshold of graduation— on the threshold of another world. They have suddenly realized what America is— They have suddenly realized that they are the men and women of the future who will dream up new and better things to add to the never ending stream of human progress. 9- % _5 9 z srty “Seducate a tcC s4cU tAKttiaK4 The members of the Senior Class of Imbler High School, never having had any minds to speak of, being victims of delirium tremons. hallucinations and under a physician’s treatment for athlete’s foot, do hereby ordain and establish this as our last will and testament. We herewith announce that we are not responsible for any will made in our weaker moments. Article I Having plead bankruptcy for the past three ' ears to evade the payment of our bills in the office, we regret that we have no material wealth to bestow upon our contemporaries. Inheritance tax would have eaten it up anyway. Article II To the faculty, we leave the memories of the many times they cold-heart-edly kicked us out of class. Perhaps the sweet feeling of authority will overshadow their feelings of guilt. Article III—To the student body as a whole we give all the moments of joy and bliss that we missed along the way. Article IV—To the juniors we give our cloak of dignity, our honors and distinctions, and our sympathy because we know that they will never reach the heights that we attained. Article V—To the sophomores we leave the crumbs from the junior-senior banquet, because we were sophomores once. too. Article VI- To the freshmen we give all our talents and accomplishments in the hope that they will acquire some sense along the way. Article VII To Miss Mvrtie Whitmer, our English instructor, we give our treatise on William Shakespeare versus True Confessions.” Treat it kindly, ma’am, it denotes real genius. Article VIII To Mr. William Phillips, our Math teacher, we give our full page advertisement on how Charles Atlas can make a man of you through Dynamic Tension, in the hopes that he will take the hint. Also, one new 35£ baseball cap. as he has been wearing the other one for six years'. Article IX- To Dr. Heimburger, our science teacher, we give a box of Ry-Krisp so that he will quit bursting out the seams of his clothing. Article X To Mr. Hopkins, our superintendent, we leave the one and only edition of the books, “How To Lose Friends and Antagonize People”, edited by the Senior Class of Imbler High School. Article XI To Mr. Andrew Paroz. our custodian, we leave the various wads of lumpy wax that we were forced to use in lieu of chewing gum during the war years. Article XII To Mr. Ben Jordan, boys basketball coach, we leave all the trophies and awards that we won during our short reign. That is. provided he can locate them. Article XIII—To Mrs. Blanche Lively, Girls’ Athletic Instructor, we give our little yellow-backed manuscript on “How To Hold Husbands ” We think that she will find it of more use than we did. Article XIV—To the basketball boys, we leave the girls old volleyball suits, because they look so cute and comfortable in them, and besides the girls want some new ones. Article XV—To the freshmen of next year we leave our various assortments of good looks, for brother, how they need ’em! As individual members of the Senior Class of Imbler High School, in the year of our Lord. One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-six, we do hereby give and bequeath the following: I. Bob Byer, will my height and my deep manly voice to Shannon McDaniel. I. Mary Furman, will my much-used capacity for giggling in study hall to Philip Street. I hope he doesn’t get kicked out. I, Jesse Berry, will my bright red hair and pretty orange freckles to who ever wants them. May they serve you well. 1. Lolita Smith, will my drugstore-blonde to Aileene Stephens, as I don’t need him anymore. Maybe she likes them pickled. I, Claire German, will my explosive horse-laugh, that I hav.? spent so much time and energy perfecting, to Louise Stephens. Maybe it will improve upon her own. I. Orlin Fitzgerald, will my ability to linger on the brink of suspension, without being expelled, to Worth Rollins. It’s a swell life, if you can keep it up. I, Annette Paroz, will my pen, with which I signed student body checks, to the next treasurer. It leaks a little, but I patched it up with chewing gum. I. Bill Lanman, will my prestige with the La Grande girls to Buddy Glenn. Also my diary, which contains their descriptions. I. Rose Marie Hopkins, will Freddie to Joan Paroz. She wants him awful bad. Also, to the other girls, his address, so they may meet him too. 1. Wesley Conrad, will by batching experiences to Victor Kinnel. It’s a good thing to know in case you get married. We, as A class, bequeath to the whole student body our hacked-up desks and the memories of our high school days. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, this fifteenth day of May, 1946. Signed and Attested SENIOR CLASS OF 1946 ROSE MARIE HOPKINS. Secretary BILLY ELBERT LANMAN. President Senior “Piofi iecy “They Have Strewn A Pathway of Flowers” A Movie Review by J. A. Paroz and R. M. Hopkins—April 10t 1970 The current attraction at the Biltmore-Rockefeller Plaza in Imbler (commonly known as the Postoflice) is the super-duper adventures of the 1946 graduates of the Imbler High School. This film, entitled “They Have Strewn A Pathway of Flowers”, is an authentic account of the struggles of geniuses for recognition. First it takes us into the residence of Claire German, chosen as representative of the typical American family. Dwelling in the foothills of the Big Rock Candy Mountain Range in the southwestern area of Northern Tennessee, he raises thriving climbing fescue which is a hybridization between poison ivy, horse chestnuts, and plain creeping fescue, for a living. This new discovery, made by Mr. German himself, is used to feed his pigs and children alike as it contains the valuable new vitamins TU2 and 53A in vast quantities. With Mr. German lives his wife, the former Mary Furman, who spends most of her leisure time placidly knitting woolen mufflers for her ten children, Quovadis, Marcus Aurelius, Alouicious, Gasket, Marquetti, John Jacob, Sherman, Louetta, Enough and Too Much. The intimate details of the life of that glib-tongued, soft-talking politician, Orlin Patrick (Mr. So-Smooth) Fitzgerald, is given in colorful enumerations. Mr. Fitzgerald succeeded Averill Harriman, Ambassador to Russia, in June, 1957, and through his exceptional ability has held that office for thirteen years. Mr. Fitzgerald’s versatility exceeds that of Mr. Harriman’s, until he is known not only as the Man About America , but as the Man About The Universe. It is plain to be seen that he got his start from his adeptness in alibiing to keep out of trouble when he was a member of the Imbler High School Student Body. A homestead on the moon! Doesn't that sound interesting? And indeed it was, when that dauntless little explorer, Bill Lanman, made headlines recently by announcing his intention of becoming the first pioneer of Luna. And he has made good that boast, as shown by the colossal pictures of him taken by that daredevil reporter-photographer, Wes Conrad, who resigned as Sheik of Arabia, sacrificing thereby his title, his gold, his harem, and the ancestral gardens in Monao-shama, in order to take up the newspaper game. In an exclusive suburb of Boston, situated in a rambling old building of the Georgian Mid-Victorian architecture with Gothic columns, is the Hotsie Totsie Select School for Girls (You Send ’em, We Train ’em). This school was founded in 1955 by Bob Byer, who is also president, 1st vice president. 2nd vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Anyway, one gathers that he runs the place, (and judging from his satisfied clientele, does a fine job). Far removed are these from the days when Mr. Byer, as a member of the Imbler High School, was electrician, radioman, assistant to the office assistants, chauffeur, general handyman, and polished the superintendent's car in order to meet school expenses. Do you remember Lolita Smith, the girl who became the talk of the town way back in 1953 when she announced her discovery of the answer to the centuries old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg? Now she is the head of the well-known chicken hatchery Lolita Smith and Son” in Yamhill, Maryland. Her specialties are White Leghorns, New Hampshires, and Barred Rocks, which reach phenominal heights both in size and price. Her brother-in-law, Jesse Stancil Berry, has won international acclaim as the perennial bachelor . Mr. Berry is also a renowned football star, having played in such outstanding bowls as the “Soup Bowl” in which the now notorious All-Star Podunks (reformed burglars) were introduced. Mr. Berry, who is a guide at the well-known ski resort in Sun Valley, commutes between there and Summerville, where he has his home. Miss Annette Paroz, who has shocked the civilized world into silence by heading the sensational new committee on Political World Unification in Peacetime”, is now heiress presumptive to the bench on the United Nations Organization (commonly known as the UNO). After overcoming her early enmity of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, she became her protege, and if she survives Mrs. Roosevelt, will replace her in the UNO. Now, for the first time, the startling inside life of that great novelist of our times, the mysterious Rose Marie Hopkins, is revealed. Miss Hopkins, who in private life is Mrs. Twicetold Wenatchinine, wife of the famous artist-philosopher, is at present residing on the banks of the Nile in Egypt, where she has just completed her latest book, High and Mighty”, or “Hugh Hughes Adventures in the Blue Mountain Range in Oregon”. Miss Hopkins, author of that sensational best-seller, “I Am a Fugitive From Purgatory' , plans to make a nation-wide tour of the United States in the near future, where she will give the commencement address at Imbler High School, May 15, 1970. This movie, which tells of the simple lives of “little people” who climbed to heights untold by their ability, brilliance, and unassuming modesty, brings poignant moments of nostalgic sweetness to the audience. Often, arc the heartbreaking sobs of the sympathizing beholders audible above the sounds from the screen. We recommend this film highly.

Somehow, with the youth of today, it is different. We prefer not to feel that we are thrust suddenly on the threshold of a new and terrifying world or that if we don’t watch our step we may fall down into a bottomless pit. We prefer to dare to presume that our future is not a dark heavy laden burden obligating our shoulders to become hunched with the dreary years ahead. We prefer not to regard life as so many days and hours to kill merely in order to have done with them, for that is the very essence of frustration. Much attention has been directed toward us, the youth of America, during the past years. It is not only natural, but inevitable, that in times of great stress thoughts of a country turn toward its youth. The young carry the brunt of war. And when war is over men turn instinctively to consider and appraise the young who survived. Every generation has had its “wild youth”. Every generation has directed toward its youth criticism, both just and unjust. We have heard ourselves called everything from “heedless and unrestrained” to “immoral and corrupt.” Is such a brand conductive to conventional behavior? We have heard much talk of “juvenile delinquency,” and it is only in recent years that much of youth’s faults have been attributed to the home. That is only fair. We are what our elders have made of us. Their hands have fashioned our pathways, their thoughts have molded ours. If our methods of attaining our goals are illogical, if our principles are inconsistent, who is to blame? Was the world which they entered perfect? Are the gaping red wounds of the world which they have presented us bound up? Must we pay, and pay eternally, for the mistakes of our fathers? So Youth Speaks To America—and here is our message. We are not afraid . . . afraid of an atomic future. We will go forward, if we can, and we do not even ask for much. To earn a livelihood, to be able to make good use of whatever talents we may possess, to be allowed to live in a decent world, where wholesale murder, intolerance, and injustice are things of the past. We do not ask that our way be made easy. We do not think that the world owes us a living. We are willing to work for what we get. We do not ask that life be made a Utopia, that we loll in luxury for the rest of our days. Did Hitler gain the allegiance, the devotion of the youth of Germany by proffering such? No, he gained it by requiring of them hard, unending toil, self-sacrifice, and unswerving devotion to the ideals of Naziism. Founded on lies and bloodshed, to be sure, but he gave them something to live for. And that is what we want—something to fight for, to die for if necessary, but most of all to live for. Something so bright and intense that for us it causes a fire to burn eternally. Do not betray us, as the youth of Germany were betrayed. Do not ask us to base our lives on false ideals or people. Do not take advantage of our optimism, our idealism, to exploit us for your own gain. Teach us peace, love for our fellow-men, tolerance for the rights of others, mercy and sympathy toward those in poorer circumstances than we, forgiveness and compassion. Give us hope for the future. SalutatoxiOK 4ctctne4 OUR ANSWER TO OUR CHALLENGE By Anette Paroz In every age to every person there is a challenge' The endeavor to meet the challenge makes the activity of life’s accomplishment for the individual. As we go forth from high school tonight we know that we are given a task of makin.g a living in the world for ourselves and also of contributing to the welfare and well being of those with whom we come in contact. We know now in a world where people think in terms of global interdependence, that when we speak of com ing in contact with other people we mean more than iust those few people we meet and know by name and associate with daily. Our sphere of contact has become larger until it embraces all those whom our activities may affect regardless of where these people affected may live. Our forefathers went into the forest and with an axe hewed the trees to make a crude house; cleared the land on which to plant crops; tried to be self-sustaining, and to a great extent were. They had little contact with other people. There was little need for contact with others. The country was new and the resources were plentiful. Life was simple. Today the air transports have cut the size of the world to less than four days travel. Modern means of manufacturing have stepped up the tempo of industry. A global war has brought problems undreamed of even in the generation just past, practically overnight this nation changed from one with national interests to one of international interests. We can no longer think in terms of our own survival alone, for we have learned in the passing months that our lives are closely tied with the fortunes of peoples of other nations. We find ourselves faced wjth the age old problem of the struggle to survive, as well as with the problem of adjusting ourselves to the new world of the present and future. Yet we must remember that we live in a world also centuries old. Therefore we must adjust the new age to the old age and keep a proper balance. We shall answer the challenge by going forward to tackle the jobs ahead of us in the best manner possible with the ability we have. Never before has one needed to be equipped with specialized training as in the present. We well know that the training we have received in high school is basic for any task that we may have given to us to perform. Youth goes forth to meet the challenge of an air-age world, with the problems to be solved. We hope that we shall perform our duties with credit and honor even though the age in which we live is entangled with the many complexities of a modern world. ottuHCKcemcKt MONDAY, MAY 15, 1946 PROGRAM Processional—“Pomp and Circumstance”_Norma Hunt Invocation — Mr. Leonard Billings Salutatorian Address Annette Paroz Solo—“Without A Song” Wesley Con rail Valedictorian Address Rose Marie Hopkins Solo Montana Richards None But the Lonely Heart (Nur YVer Die Schnusucht Kennt), Tchaikovsky Address—“Something Besides Education”______Dr. Rex Putnam State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Salem Presentation of Awards_________________Mr. Albert Hopkins Superintendent of Schools, Imbler Presentation of Diplomas__________________Mr. Oscar Howell Chairman, Imbler School Board of Directors Response Bill Lanman President, Senior Class Benediction Recessional—“Pomp and Circumstance' Norma Hunt IRe fionde fo “PiaieKfatiatt £ 'DifilomcM. Senior Class President, Bill Lanman Being president of the Senior Class of 1946, I wish to speak of our appreciation of these diplomas. These diplomas are evidence of our having completed the course of study of Imbler High School and the State of Oregon. They mean more than that to us; they also stand for the sacrifice the people of this community have made that we might have the advantage of a high school education. In accepting these diplomas we also accept a responsibility to carry on along the lines we have been taught here. We shall try to live up to the high standard set for us by this school, and prove worthy of your investment in us. Again, I wish to thank you in the name of the Class of 1946 for these diplomas, evidence of our finishing high school. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS 194647 President ________________________________Worth Rollins Vice-President ____________________________Aria Tufford Secretary---------------------Fay Quebbeman Treasurer---------------------Mildred Calhoun Assistant Manager__________________Mary Rollins Assistant Editor____________________Joan Paroz By Rose Marie Hopkins It is not a large town, it might even be classified as a mere village.” It is not largv enough to contain a bank, or a hospital, yet is supports three churches. It is not beautiful, in the way cities are beautiful, for it boasts no gothic columns or marble buildings. It’s beauty lies in it’s utter peacefulness, it’s houses with their small, compact lawns, and the greenness of its distant mountains against the soft blue of the sky; the fragrance of its pure white cherry blossoms in the spring, and the warm caressing breezes of the summer; the lazy meandering of its narrow roads leading to outlying districts; it’s heavy carpet of white snow glistening beneath the rays of the pale winter sun; it’s seeming remoteness, but actual busy communication with the rest of the world. It will never rank as one of the showplaces of the state, but it is dear to us because of its associations and memories. There are not many people who live in our town, but it makes up in the quality of its citizens what it lacks in quantity. There arc those in our town who are intelligent and prosperous, and, as the citizens, so is the town. They may not have much in the way of cultural attainments, but what lack is supplemented by their integrity of character, and simple, casual wisdom. We are grateful to our town for all it has done for us. For all the advantages it has given us; for the co-operation and friendly unassuming advice; for the money and support given so freely to every enterprise that we have started; for the practical, far-seeing policies it has presented, echoed in our school life. We may belittle our town. We may bemoan the lack of facilities, of entertainment, that it offers. We may wail about the lack of opportunity; we may say it is not large enough to contain us; that it holds no offer of advancement. But let an outsider criticize it, and we defend it fiercely, it may not be large, it may not lx? outstanding, it may not be exceptional, but it is OUR town. Our town has been a part of a terrible war. From out our town have gone men to enter every part of the Armed Services, many of whom paid with their lives. From out our town have gone men and women to work in the defense factories. From out our town have gone people of every caliber, brave and cowardly, great and simple, trustworthy and dishonest, beautiful and plain. This is our town. One little town in the great and shining country of America. One little town where people live, where they are born, where they marry, and where they die. One little town where people dream and hope and build and pray, wanting no reward, content to live to the best of their individual ability, content to labor to secure the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity. Yes, this is our town. A little town set in the midst of a green, fertile valley, over which waves a Flag, the Stars and Stripes, the Banner of Freedom. And this is our prayer: That we shall one day be worthy of our town, our nation, and our God.

Upon close inspection the entertainers were recognized as none other than this year’s crop of greenhorns. Victor Kinnel was dressed in a rather immature way- he wore a baby dress, a blanket over his head, and carried a baby bottle and rattle. Ilis vocabulary consisted mainly of Goo Goo that day, to the Sophomores at least, and he became really gluttonous in drinking milk from the bottle. Shannon McDaniels played the role of that dauntless little hill-billy. Pansy Yokum. He wore a short skirt, a polka-dotted blouse, a dark bonnet, boots and knee-length socks. He carried a corn cob pipe and a jar of the precious turnip preserves. The belle of the lx ach was Philip Street. Philip was dressed in a very timely costume: white shorts, a blue and white halter, and sandals. His toe-nails were painted with the latest shade of red. He received the title The Sister of the Sands. Louise Stephens was dressed as B. O. Plenty. Her attire, consisting of overalls, shirt, and a helmet, was, on the whole, rather disreputable as she portrayed B. O. th« farmer. She wore a straw mustache and carried a bar of Lifebuoy soap. (Credit for the offense goes to Chester Gould but the Sophomores provided the cure.) Louise was a bit out of character as she is naturally more good-natured than the original B.C). Kenneth Smith made a splendid negro washwoman. He wore a yellow dress and a red apron, a bright bandana about his head, heavy shoes and striped socks. His face and hands were blackened and he carried a mop and mop-pail. Margaret Hunt was the intellectual college girl . She wore a somewhat moth-eaten orange sweater and a gray skirt which the experts couldn’t possibly have made baggier, shell-rimmed glasses, socks that were definitely worn in spots, and shoes that were without shoestrings. She carried her priceless volume of Shakespeare with her. Gene Isakson was Astro, the great crystal gazer. He was dressed in a purple gown, and a white turban with a silver star on the front. He wore green hoop earrings and carried his crystal ball with him. Astro did not attempt to foretell anyone’s future as he had learned in the short time he has been here that the inmates of Imbler High are wholly unpredictable. Gaylen Searles was the beautiful blonde who tripped daintly (?) and gaily about. His gorgeous yellow locks were fixed ringlets that hung down his back, and he wore an afternoon dress of a shade somewhere between fuschia and lavendar—an elegant color indeed. The shade blended nicely with the rich tones of his complexion. Black sandals and rayon stockings completed his costume. The groom, Virginia Barton, was dressed for her wedding in black and white striped trousers, a white shirt and black bow-tie, a swallow-tailed coat, a top hat. spats. Ralph Bolin was the blushing bride. He was dressed in a white dress of sheer crepe which was trimmed in black. He evidently came anticipating violence and wanted to be ready for anything. It was held in place by what appeared to be mistletoe. Ralph will probably be remembered as one of the daintiest brides of the season. In the afternoon, the seventh and eighth grades were invited to see the performance put on by the Freshmen, to more or less prepare them for what would happen to them in future years. The rookies paraded around the room and introduced themselves to everyone. The next item on the program was a vocal solo by Swec’ Pea (Vic Kinnel). He sang Rock-a-bye. Baby in lovely, lilting tones. (No applause was noticed.) The student body voted Virginia Barton the best-dressed girl and Gene Isakson the best-dressed boy. A mock wedding was then held. Preceding the ceremony, Gaylen Searles, soloist. sang, I Love You Truly . The bride and groom made their way up the aisle to stand before a hidden altar as the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin sounded. The Reverend Doctor H. V. Heimburger read the no-ring service. Immediately following the ceremony, the bride and groom departed, with the good wishes of the student body and rice in their hair. They spent their brief honeymoon in downtown Imbler, accompanied by the Freshmen and Sophomores. 'Initiation On the evening of Friday, the 12th of October, the Juniors and Seniors gathered at the Summerville school house to see the rookies initiated into the Freshman class, the Sophomores conducting the ceremony. A few blood-thirsty ones admitted that they had even hoped for an annihilation. Just for the sake of killing, of course, not that they have anything against the Freshmen, who are such dear children. Those expecting a thrilling time were somewhat disappointed as the Sophomores had been so tired for the preceding two weeks that their usually fertile brains were not functioning correctly. The Freshmen recited I Never Saw a Purple Cow while sitting on what is familiarly known as the hot seat —an old story but uncomfortable nevertheless. The Sophomores are a hospitable group. Never let it lx said that they gave a party and sent their guests home unrefreshed. Therefore they served the Freshmen festered cat eyes in milk. After these had been greedily devoured, the Freshmen were obliged to eat lemons and crackers, which are probably very rich in vitamins. Games were played and sandwiches were served. Those made of limburger cheese were especially enjoyed. Hack rozv left to right: Ralph Bolin.

I he Freshmen purchased personalized stationery from the Student Body. Several parties were given by the class, all of which were held in the Wade Hall. Other parties were planned, but were not carried through. On their half-day holiday, which was April 29, they went to Cove to swim, and then to the movies in La Grande in the evening. + « r A$-yL , 'y srisrtcf f 777c j sdmT , t ' yClstsZrrt t '77t s£' ; v- yj V2 t k ffl OytslJi f f Tft Ay , j3o £ n « « i I Front row, left to right: Maxine Barton, Aileen Stephens, Mildred Calhoun Back row: den Marshall, Mary Rollins, Joan Paroz, Mr. Heimburger.

President of the Student Body The American way of life in all its aspects is tied up with education. What is this freedom we defend? It is freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and the right to assemble. To the man in the street it means he may say, write, hear or read what he pleases, live and work where he will, invest his money in a home, in a neighborhood shop, in a factory or wherever he wishes. Such a way of life can exist only where all people have had an opportunity to learn how to study and decide for themselves upon such questions as these. Education determines where a person stands among his fellowmen. Anything else that can lx accumulated can be taken away by a general change in government or society, if not by thieves and robbers, but no force can ever change the relation existing between people who art; prepared for something and people who are not prepared for anything. Great changes are taking place rapidly around us. Every year, every month, if not every day, some unexpected occurence startles us, leaving us to wonder what will happen next. The generation for which I speak is grateful in times like these for the good schools which are provided in our country. Good schools give a better opportunity for all young people to get an even start in life so important now at this exciting time in history. Every year which goes by makes life more complex and more exacting. Human achievements never were more varied, more wonderful nor more frightening. Perhaps in such a time the human race may start out upon the greatest achievement, the maintenance of peace on earth and good will among men. Civilization stands at the crossroads and a new obligation has been thrust upon those who graduate from high schools today. We claim to be no stronger than our fathers, no fitter than those who graduated from this school in former classes. We accept the obligation which is ours and dedicate our lives to the hope that our generation may make the most noteworthy achievement of all time. We hope that in our time the foundation will be laid for a permanent peace on earth and good will among men. ♦ J 4 dieayue ‘President Mary Furman, Girls’ league President, was born May 17, 1928. in Imbler, Oregon.

Jesse Berry, a veteran, was in before he joined the Marines. Letters are given in baseball, basketball, and track. The boy who meets the qualificatioi.s for a letter, becomes a member of the Letterman’s Club. Any student who wears stripes on his sweaters must have each sweater for one sport only. They must, because of this, earn letters in one sport for four years before they can wear four stripes. The Letterman’s Club enforces this rule. Awards were given this year to graduating seniors by the Letter-man’s Club. Members of the Club are: Top row, left to right: Orlin Fitzgerald, Wesley Conrad, Bob Byer. Bud- dy Glenn, Claire German.

The following officers were elected: President, Mary Furman; vice-president, Thelma Fries; secretary, Mary Adele Rollins: treasurer, Joan Paroz.

The new set of officers were: President, Mary Furman; vice-president, Mary Adele Rollins; secretary and treasurer, Fay Quebbeman. Money was raised for the League by its members selling hamburgers at the ballgames. April 17, a banquet was given for the mothers of the high school student body, in the dining hall.
