ROGERS Science and Economics Diploma, Eastern Oregon College of La Grande Bachelor of Science Degree, University cf Oregon Master of Education Degree, University of Oregon Advanced Study, Colorado State College Seocitoe, 'Hot Sutuiet As 1 stood looking from a school window at a most beautiful winter sunset and listened to the exclamations of pleasure from fellow onlookers, 1 began asking myself how many pictures of sunrises had I ever seen. At that moment I could remember none, but I could recall several of sunsets. There ARE beautiful sunrises, for I have seen them. Perhaps most people do not rise early enough to see the “beauties of morn” even though we have been told that “the early bird catches the worm”. People are like that, blinded to the pleasures and beauties of the l eginning of the day in searching for what may lie at the close. Likewise, many never stop to look at the middle of the rainbow bridge of life in their hurried search for what may lie at the end. Each spring, many Seniors and parents ever the land look to graduation with sorrow and often tears are shed. Rather, graduation is a time to be gay. A beautiful sunrise and not sunset is at hand; real life “upon your own” is just beginning. Whether the sunset is just as beautiful depends wholly upon the individual. Today, look to the SUNRISE — a new day is dawning! 0 EDNA FAY QUEBBEMAN Class President 1, 4; Dramatics 1. 3. 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Volle ball 1; Publications 1, 2, 3, 4; Yell Leader 1, 2, 4; Girls’ League Secretary 2, Vice President 4: Class Secretary-Treasurer 3; Councilman 2; Library 2. 3, 4; Student Body Manager 4.

Here in Imbler, only one of these ten began her school life that year. That was our own laughing, singing Jo Paroz. She happily breezed through that first year of school to be joined in her third year by shy, serious Maxine Barton, one of the class’s up and coming young artists. Hand in hand, losing a little enthusiasm and gaining a little knowledge of how things go, these two members of today’s class trudged through grade school’s happy days. Carefree and gay, they found delight in heckling teachers and generally being mischevious. In their eighth year they were joined by Fay Quebbeman, gay, vivacious, and always laughing. These three laughed and pranked their merry way through to the exalted day when eighth grade diplomas came and high school was just around the corner. September again, this time in 1944, and our merry three were joined by Summerville’s grade school graduates, Mary Hollins, Mildred Calhoun, and Willodean Fisher. Mary, dark-eyed and pretty, made friends instantly and was immediately accepted, even by those exalted personages, the Seniors. Mildred, shy and sweet with golden brown hair and a friendly smile, became our top scholar and finally the class valedictorian. Willodean, usually known as “Bill’ is our future photographer. You always see her smiling face behind a camera or behind the windshield of the old gray Chevrolet. In our Sophomore year we gained another shy member, Aileene Stephens, small, dark, and always ready with a friendly smile for everyone. In the middle of that year, a blonde girl from Oklahoma was added to the rapidly growing group. This was Arlajean Tufford, blue-eyed and smiling. This group remained together until our Junior year when we were joined by Roberta Roberts, dark-eyed and appropriately nicknamed “Elgin”. She had been ill and forced to drop out of the class of ’47 in which she originally belonged. Their loss was our gain. In 1947 we gained our one and only male member, Carl Gali, Montana’s pride and joy. Blonde, friendly, and a football enthusiast, Carl is a welcome member of our class. This completes our group and we are soon to be leaving our friends and teachers behind as we tackle the great world. Goodbye school days— we shall miss you.

Photography Doctor’s Degree I CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1948, being of unstable mind, brittle bones, weak knees, but of fighting spirit, do hereby bequeath the following: ARTICLE I To Mr. Rogers, our superintendent, we leave our numerous and assorted excuses for skipping school. To Miss Whitraer, we leave the fond hope that her future classes will be as gracious and cooperative as our class has been. To Mr. Bybee, we leave the peace and quiet of study hall (providing all the Seniors leave). To Mr. Sawyer, we leave the fervent hope that when we are gone he may be able to get a word in edgewise in class discussion. To Mrs. Lively, we leave a new volleyball (minus lipstick prinjts) and the hope that in future years the girls of her P. E. Class will pay their towel money when it is due. To Mrs. Rogers, we leave a new copy of the Whiffenpoof Song , in hopes that future glee clubbers will enjoy it as much as we did. To Mrs. Mcl aniels. we leave our one and only regret and that is we’re leaving such a wonderful cook behind. To Mr. Paroz, we leave a door mat for the back door so maybe people will take the gentle hint— Wipe Your Feet” ! ! ARTICLE II I, Fay Quebbeman, will my delightful giggle to Margaret Hunt and also my foolproof (?) method for skipping school. I, Arlajean Tufford. will my great excitement (?) for school life to Darleen McLaughlin, as well as my well-worn tactics for getting out of class. I. Joan Paroz, will my honorary membership in the F. F. A. to Shirley Frizzell, the only stipulation being that she must memorize pages 1-1200 in Morrison’s Feeds and Feedings . I, Carl Gali, will my quiet manners to Lewis Doud, in hopes he’ll make good use of them. I, Maxine Barton, will my rights to the Ford car, but not the man, to Virginia Barton. (We believe in keeping it in the family.) I, Roberta Roberts, will my prejudiced opinions of Elgin to Gale McDaniel. I, Aileen Stephens, will my drawing ability to Walter Shane in the hopes he can develop his artistic inclinations. I, Mildred Calhoun, will my winning ways and ability to get top grades to Betty York. I, Willodean Fisher, will my golden voice to Juanita Craig. Please take good care of it in the years to come. I, Mary Adele Rollins, will my ability to flutter my eyelashes to Lowell Westcnskow, and also my friendship” ring. (Hope it fits.) Signed: THE SENIOR CLASS CLASS PROPHECY ‘08 GUAM, January 31, 1958 Dear Mary Adele: I was simply overjoyed to hear that you are having such success with your Dress Shoppe there in La Grande. You’ll never believe it, but even the natives over here are wearing your “Merry Mary” models and they love them. It was so clever of you to think of the sunbonnets as they surely are a hit here. They are just the tiling for carrying your worldly goods in. And Fay tells me that you are also doing interior decorating and have re-done dear old Imbler Hi in purple and red. I must say it needed i,t. No doubt a purple and red atmosphere is very conducive to study. Congratulations to you and Abraham on staying happily married for three months. nniversaries are such happy times aren’t they? Now. don’t protest that you haven’t been happy. Oh. of course we all have our little squabbles, but his head will heal. An aluminum roaster isn’t a deadly weapon. Guess who dropped in on me the other day! I was just about to take dictation and the door burst open and in ran Bill Fisher yelling, Micky! Micky Calhoun!” I was so excited I nearly fell off the boss’s lap. She established a photograph shop in New York and made her first million there. Remember how she used to be known as Wild Bill from Summerville”? Well, she hasn’t changed. She’s over here taking pictures for the New York Herald-Tribune. Her pictures are a little unusual, and the sales of the paper have more than doubled since she became staff photographer. Arlajean is living in Boston now, you know. They’re sitting on top of the world since she wrote her treatise on child care that took the world by storm. At Johns Hopkins they said it was unlike anything else that had ever been written, and I can well t elieve it. She has first hand information, too. Of course you knew that they had twins, Clement and Clementine. Just recently they've been blessed with triplets—going up. I’m not sure what they are named but I heard foul rumors to the effect that it is Asa. Amanda, and Alouette. The last copy of a Boston newspaper I had said that she was No. 4 of the ten best-dressed women in Boston. She’s still the same though, and laughs about soaking up the culture.” I ran into Fay the last time I was in Cleveland. She’s head librarian in one of the libraries there. Her husband owns the Rivoli Theatre and she works in the box office at night. It works out very well, I guess. While in the library, Fay drums up trade for the theatre. She says it does get a bit dull in the library, so she often takes her scrapbooks along to look at. They’re doing very well, but she does so pine to be back on the farm. How is Roberta getting along? She still does live in Elgin, of course? I heard she had opened up a beauty shop for men and specializes in finger waves and mud packs. They say it has greatly improved the appearance of the Elgin men, too. Her husband was the first to patronize the place, and then the rest flocked in, or so the story goes. Darling, is her husband’s name Ronny or Danny? I can never remember. Did you hear about Carl? He’s a psychiatrist in Piladelphia and acts so strangely. He goes around murmuring. “I ought to have my head examined.” He broke his contract as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, stating that it was a lousy ball club, so of course he had to get out of town. He went west and designed cargo planes for Boeing for awhile, but he says there’s really more money in this ether field. He says its simply a snap to take money away from women this way Ind fun ■ ,1 f too. I do hope he doesn’t think of fortune telling. Is it really true that Maxine Barton is the new physical education teacher at Wallowa high school? They tell me that she revolutionized the whole system, and the new state tests she drew up are really tough. One of the nurses at St. Jo told me the last time I was home that they brought in one girl who was tied into a choir boy tie. Maxine started tying them in knots and gradually working up to the more difficult phases. Aileen Stephens is a nurse at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. 1 had to have a physical check-up before taking this job with the Embassy, and I was surprised to see her there. She told me she was planning on going to the Foreign Mission Field, so 1 sent her 100 copies of the song “Civilization” to take with her. Did I mention she’s developed a new bell system for ringing for nurses in hospitals that has spead like wildfire? The bells don’t ring. I really like my job fine. Mainly I take dictation. The boss is young, unattached, and handsome, and my shorthand is splendid so 1 have an easy time of it. Life on Guam isn’t nearly so monotonous as you might think. Really, there are practically no women whatever over here. 1 would like to go home again though, and see everybody, especially at Imbler Hi. Mr. Rogers has been dictator there for the last three years. He has a doctor’s degree in so many fields he’s lost count of them by now, but every summer goes back for another one. Of course Jo’s still there, trying to get her credits in English IV and Physical Education so she can graduate. You know she passed Agriculture with flying colors but just couldn’t make it through English. And what with Maxine’s new physical education rulings, 1 guess she’s just about despaired of ever making it through P. E. I heard via the grapevine that she has opened up a rather shady matrimonial bureau on the side, she became so short of funds. You know she lost everything on the Louis-Walcott light, hack in ’47. She hopes to make enough to pay off her debts in the office and for a bus ticket to Salt Lake City before the cops catch up with her. Well, the boss wants another letter written so I must run and put on fresh lipstick. As ever, MICK IE CALHOUN MARGARET HUNT shannon McDaniels VELMA LECLAIR JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES The Junior Class started out this year yith two more members than it had last year. These were Nora Stephens from LaGrande and Darleen McLaughlin from Alliance, Nebraska. Later, another girl and boy were added—Velma LeClair and Lester Duncan. Both dropped out before the end of the year. Class officers for the year are: NORA STEPHENS .................—President PHILIP STREET________________ Vice-President VIRGINIA BARTON__________________Sec’y-T re as u re r RALPH BOLIN______________________Representative In dramatics, the Juniors lost the one-act play contest to the Sophomores by only five points. The Junior three-act play, “Aunt Susie Shoots The Works”, was given on March 12. This play produced many hilarious laughs. The Junior-Senior banquet was given at Orella’s Garden on the evening of May 7th. Decorations were the Senior colors of green and silver and the Junior colors of orchid and silver. Our class motto is “Let’s Open the Gates of Knowledge, the Keys Are In Our Hands.” Our class flower is the white rose. I V SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore Class started the year with nine members, four girls and five boys. Class officers were: Dixie Booth, president; Gene Bolin, vice-president; Laurence Hill, secretary; Dean McKinnis, treasurer, and Bob Starns, councilman. The Sophomores had great pleasure in the initiation of the Freshmen. They were dressed for the occasion. The initiatioa party was held in Wade Hall. Everyone had a good time except the Freshmen. In the one-act plays, we were not at all surprised to take top honors. The title of our play was “Hot Biscuits.” Our nearest competitor was the Junior play. JoAnn Perkins, Shirley Frizzell and Dixie Booth were lucky in getting parts in the Junior three-act play. It was a success. Four of the five boys in our class played basketball this year, and all five are out for baseball. The Sophomore girls were good enough in volleyball to place two members on the team. Members of the class are Gene Bolin. Dixie Booth, Shirley Frizzell, Laurence Hill, Dean McKinnis, JoAnn Perkins, Elaine Robinson, Bob Starns and Lowell West-enskow. Our advisor is Miss Whitmer. FRESHMAN CLASS entered the doors of weeks of having the dress-up day for the by the Sophomores.
