La Grande High School - Mimir Yearbook (La Grande, OR)

QLInss The Valley of High School has four great hills. It takes a year to climb each one—and at the top of each, there awaits a certain reward; while extending farther ahead, there looms the next hill steep- but withal, holding fascination for coming students. On the third hill of this valley, stands a group of smiling students. At the head, bearing the banner “JUNIOR CLASS,” stands the president .Marion Crowe; beside him staunch and true, always ready in time of need, is the vice-president Sylvia Malone, who ruled as president during Marion’s stay in California. Edna Gekeler bears the secretary’s book, and nearby are the livewires, Marjorie Rey- nolds and Richard deist. These five successfully led approximately eighty Jun- iors up the mighty hill whose height they are now on—but only with the splendid help of the sponsors—Mrs. Hays, Miss Lee, and Mr. Thomas. Behind the group, rising tall and firm in the valley they have just left, stand the monuments to the successes of the passing Juniors. Tall is the monument bearing the record of the Junior stunt, with pictures of Tom Bruce as the far- mer, Marion Crowe as the tiger team, and Harold Herr as the Baker hoodoo. This monument bears the additional sign “Second Place,” showing the merit of the Junior stunt. Another monument bears the title “Captain Applejack” and how the chests swell, as the band on the hill remembers that monument, and views with pride Captain Applejack (Marion Crowe), Poppy Faire (Edna Gekeler), Aunt Agatha (Marjorie Reynolds), Anna Valeska (Bertha Bant .), Ivan Borolsky (Vernal Shoemaker) and several other distinguished actors. Still another monu- ment bears the account of the Junior Tea. Held during the absence of the presi- dent, it proved to be after all a big success for many of the talented ones per- formed for the mothers present. Athletics had small representation from the Juniors- but the Juniors arc proud of those whose names are there. Wilfred Stoddard and Elwin McCorkle proved their abilities as basketball tossers, while Tom Bruce received t’’e election of Captain for the 1928 Football squad. Edward Buchanan and Marion Crowe also took part in the football world. In girls’ basketball, Peggy Gragg, Marjorie Reynolds, Phyllis Ansell and Bertha Bantz won honors. The Junior band headed by their officers, are standing on the hill of their accomplishments. They are looking ahead to the one year remaining for them in I.. H. S. and strong within them is the determination to make that year their best in scholarship, activities, and school spirit. —Doris Humes, '28. (29)
