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

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.
