LEONARD BILLINGS - Clerk Pfi nciPfli ADMINISTRATION Education is one of the basic foundations of our whole democratic society, if not the entire basis of Democracy. The privilege of all Americans to receive a free education is given in no other country. This opportunity should not be neglected. Schools are for the benefit of their knowledge and abilities. Students should realize that the teacher and the physical teaching aids in a school are something that is given to the student and that some knowledge or skill can be acquired from them. The parties, dances, class organizations and boys and girls athletics are for the enjoyment and a learning situation to meet the demands of your coming social life. If the schools can show students the road to success and happiness, then their work has been successful. We hope that every student leaving Imbler High School will be a success and happy in his new environment in to which he will pass when he leaves school. T. E. Chapman fflcuuy MR.

SETIOR PflOPHECy TIME 1 PLACE - “HARD TELLING” Seniors of 1951 (We Seniors were always grea Her thoughts then stray to another schoolmate, Joe Scott, who is now living on the moon with his wife and twelve kids. Joe discovered a way you could live on the moon without air. He makes his own air with an air making machine. Then she wonders where her old friend Betty York is at. Ray then walks into room. So she asks him if he knows, Ray tells her that uptown there is a club called the “Upsie Do Club in which Betty dances under the name of Bunny Fluffingtown. Juanita then turns on her television set and hears a familiar voice, there on the screen appears Dale Neiderer. He is now a great singer and all the girls just swoon when they hear him sing. Juanita sees Ray and their sixteen kids, out picking their money crop. Ray has really become a success at growing money. The Class of 1951 has really made something of themselves, and Juanita is well pleased with the careers of her not forgotten classmates. 12 This all starts on a winter’s night. Mrs. Raymond O’Mohundro (formerly Juanita Kerby) is sitting in her rocking chair by the fireplace knitting Rays underwear. She is dreaming of her old school mates. There is Dr. Beverly Sniffdigger, formerly known as Beverly Glass, working with her husband, Elmer Sniffdigger, in the Sniffdigger Research Library in Imbler, Oregon. • From Hollywood she hears her old classmate, Melvin Patrick, had finally won the heart of Margaret O'Brien, and they plan to get married in June. Her thoughts then stray to Mrs. Egbert Buffarffington, formerly Mary Newcomb of Twin Falls, Idaho, who is a great basketball player. This year she is playing for the Idaho Spud team. She is the greatest woman basketball player of all time. Juanita gets tired of knitting and picks up a detective book.

For a period of time the sports of Imbler High were on the down hill side, and it looked as if the boys were never going to win any of their games. Nineteen fifty came along and for the first time in several years they won fifty percent of all games they played. In the fall of nineteen fifty the boys were given the opportunity to play football. They were eager for the opportunity and with two weeks practice they were ready for their first game, and came out on top, beating Cove 32 to 12. Although finishing the season with two wins, three losses, and one tie,the student body were proud of the team as this was the first football team to represent Imbler High School since 1930. Basketball season brought added glory to Imbler High School as they won ten and lost ten. The high light of the basketball season was a rousing 55 to 51 over time victory over the La Grande Wildcats. Dale Hug, Panther center, was the teams leading scorer. Ray O’muhundro was elected honorary captain at the conclusion of the season. Baseball also brought added glory to Imbler high school. The high light of baseball season was a 2 to 1 victory over our traditional rival Elgin. Our seasons record was 6 wins and 2 losses. Dan Jordan was elected honorary captain at the conclusion of the season. With everyone back next year, brighter things are in store for Imbler High School in the field of sports. 27 fIRST GRADE SECOnD GRADE THIRD GRADE 31 SEVEHTH GRADE SIXTH GRADE 32 f flfTH GfiflDf EIGHTH GRADE GRADE ATHLETIC MS During 1950-51 the grade school played no touch football games, except intra-mural.
