THE GOLDEN HEVEHIES SHARON KINNEL Editor UF IMBLEH SEHODLS STAFF MR. JOHN CAIN Advisor CARL HENSLEY Manager The Golden Reveries staff wishes to thank all those who have made this edition possible —our advertisers, members of the faculty, and students who have helped with arrangements of copy and hours of typing. We sincerely hope you will enjoy this edition and that it will bring pleasure to you in years to come when you look back at Imbler School - 1954. JIM McKINNIS Photographer ABOUT THE COVER This year's cover has the same Panther os last year's in the hope that it will become symbolic of Imbler School. DEDICATION TO MISS MYRTIE WHITMER teacher, scholar and friend, we dedicate the 1954 Golden Reveries. She has helped many of us set our feet unhampered on a path that should lead us to become trustworthy and con-tributive citizens. Due to a fall, she was forced to quit teaching in the spring of '52. She shall always be remembered and hold a warm spot in the hearts of the Imbler students. the landed gentry HENRy fries Chairman A very important crop in the Imbler School area is grass seed. This is evidenced both physically and in the activities and trade in the area. Of more lasting importance, however, is another crop of seeds — the children of Imbler. The Board of Education contributes many hours to provide facilities and determine policies so that these seeds may grow and mature. MR. DONALD McKINNIS MR. JESSE BERRY THEY CULTIVATE JOHN H. CAIN, Superintendent Pacific University, B.S. University of Oregon, M. Ed. University of Oregon, Advanced Study Typing I, II Bookkeeping I Office Practice Student Council Advisor Annual Advisor Since the start of construction of the new wing, Imbler students have labored under the handicaps of construction and renovation. This year has been marked with the development of the program planned for this enlarged school. Some physical changes have been made, such as the remodeling of rooms, additional furniture, a new bus, and new bleachers. An activities program was launched to relieve class interference and still provide a rounded program of activities. These things have contributed to a better learning situation for Imbler students. Credit and proise goes to the board of education and the staff at Imbler School, as well as a student body that has the energy and determination to make their efforts outstanding. Believe in nothing overmuch As honor, virtue, fame; Then disappointments will be small And you shall be the same.

Throughout the years of reaching this mature stage there was much work and many pleasant memories. Among these memories was the banquet and prom given in their honor. As these seeds are being transported to various parts of the world their motto will ring, It isn't the whistte that pulls the train. In blossoming to full bloom and realizing their responsibilities the seniors took their final steps from the soil at the services of Baccalaureate, May 23 and Commencement on May 26.
