We, as the first two arrivals, are greeted at the entrance by the president of Potter Piggery, George C. Potter, alies Coach, who has graciously extended to us the piggery for our reunion. We have no sooner arrived when Earl Burns, the local barber, comes roaring up in his 1910 Essies. Earl tells us that he has started working on his second million already- he gave up on his first. Earl would have made it earlier if not for some difficulty by the local mechanic Fay Haverland who had trouble screwing the radiator cap on the Essies. Fay will be here as soon as he gets cleaned up from his greasy overhaul and lubrication of a child's kitty car. A special delivery letter from Mr. and Mrs. Simpson informs us that they will not be able to attend this reunion as they are at the hospital visiting Bill Harden who has Physical exaustion from completing a shingling operation started the year of our graduation. With a roar and a cloud of dust, peddling furriously in a child's peddle plane, arrives Royce Bunch, Royce informs us that he has just completed a non-stop flight around the block. Mr. Potter tells us that he has hired the state's outstanding beautician to curl the tails of his prize hogs-you guessed it—Lois Ruson. A messenger boy brings a telegram which reads, Classmates, unable to attend reunion, taking entrance exam, trying for tenth time to get into E.O.C.E.—Frank Bear. Hearing a noise somewhat similiar to an Australian speckled antmilker, we invest- igate and find Mr. Diehl singing to the baby piggies, he has been happily engaged in this occupation for the last six years. As the telephone rings we answer and the voice on the other end Betty Swaggart the conversation goes as follows, T will be a little late. I am finishing a mani- curing job on Ur. Keezel's four-pawed little friend Pepper, see you later at the piggery. Following a rather pugnent odor we find ourselves in the old gym now rented by Jack Pittman who uses it for a skunk tannery. Jackie is out trapping, but his assi- tant skunk skinner, Mrs. Butterfield, tells us he will be back in time for the reunion. Having heard from all the students except Jack Greenlee- That wrench slipped and I cut my '?® hand while I was putting that muffler belt on your plane Royce, so that will just cost you more. Ohyes, there's Jack now, in the washroom with Royce. ,, a happy afternoon of talking over old times and many memories brought back by the familiar surroundings, the reunion breaks up. People begin to leave by ones, twos, and threes. This conversation is heard between the remaning three, Mr. Potter speaks, Well Hamlin, I'm glad to hear that your big break finally came! Oh yes my carpenter business is doing a big boom. I got an order for three apple boxes today! Well, Kenneth are you going back to college today?

This is McEwen'a first year of 8 - man football and they have done very well by taking third place in the league, despite a tough schedule and lack of reserves. They ended the season with five wins, (including 1 game that Pilot Rock had to forfeit because of state playoffs. ), three losses and one tie. Frank Bear and Kenneth Williams were chosen as the two most outstanding players on the team. In reward their names were placed on a determination trophy presented by Mr. Simpson last year. Roland Faircloth, Bud Schmidtgall and Gary Van Ocker were the leading ground gainers as well as passers and played most of the time in the backfield. The guard spots were played mostly by Leon Montee, Robert Wolford and Robert Carlson who all are looking forward to another good season next year. The center position was played by Jack Pittman and Jimmy Rice. The ends were Frank Bear, Paul Moore and Forrest Baker. Frank Bear was outstanding at this position on both offense and de- fense. Kenneth Williams played the Fullback position and called offensive plays. He was an ex- cellent blocker and field captain. This year we are losing three seniors on the team. They are Frank Bear, Kenneth Williams and Jack Pittman who all made up a large part of our football team. A lot of credit goes to Coach George Potter for the fine,clean teams that he puts out and for the effort he has put forth in making the teams.

Last year McEwen had a fair season in Baseball. They ended up the schedule with two wins and three losses. The players were as follows: Gary Van Ocker, Roland Faircloth, Art Teague and Kenneth Williams, infield; Jack Greenlee and Bill Campbell, pitchersj Forrest Baker, catcher j Jack Pittman, Bud Schmidtgall, Leon Montee and Paul Moore, outfield. Jack Pittman and Jack Green- ly had the two hi iest batting averages with .5U5 and .U23, respectively. This year McEwen should have a better season, due to the fact that most of the key men will be back again. 7 « 19 5 Front Row, Left to right} Dick Wallingford, David Bunch, Raymond Wolford, Bud Schmidtg ll. Second Row? Kenneth Williams, Jack Greenlee and Jack Pittman. Last year was McEwen1s first year of track for at least four or five years and the team did well for the first year. There were not many boys out for track, but it has interested many others, and this year there will be more turning out. The following data are the results of last years track contests: Heppnert This was the first invitational track meet in which we participated. We did well considering that we only entered four boys. McEwen took second in the relay with Dave Bunch, Bud Schmidtgall, Jack Greenlee and Dick Wallingford doing the running, second in the Broad Jump, taken by Dave Bunch, and a first in the Javelin by Jack Greenlee whose toss, incidently, set a new re- cord of 159 feet 6 inches. Pilot Rock: This was the next invitational meet. In this meet we, again did well consider- ing the few entries that we had. Kenneth Williams tied for first in the High Jump, Jack Pittman took second in the Shot Put, and Jack Greenlee took a second in the Javelin. La Grande: This meet was the Eastern Oregon preliminary to the State Tournament. We did not take Kane any first places, but we did bring home four fourth places. This was a good showing considering the many schools that participated in the meet. Dave Bunch, Jack Pittman, Jack Greep- lee and Bud Schmidtgall took fourth in the relay, Jack Pittman took fourth in the Shot Put, Jack Greenlee took fourth in the Javelin, and Kenneth Williams took fourth in the High Jump. 1951 This year we are expecting a lot of boys out for Track. Track will be given during P. E. period and there will be quite a bit of emphasis on it. This is our only major sport in which there is quite a bit of individual competition and we should do very well. We have about five returning lettermen from last years team and six or seven who were on the squad in addition to at least fifteen new boys turning out for the first time. During this year McEwen will enter in the following meets. The first three meets will be invitational meets. The first one is the Carnival of Speed at Mac Hi, the second one at Helix, nd the third one at Heppner. The fourth meet is the County Meet which determines who is the County Champions. The fifth meet is the District Meet which determines who qualifies for the State Meet. The sixth meet is a Froshmore Meet for Freshmen and Sophomores only.

The volleyball team lost almost every game they played but everyong always had lots of fun and they were all good sports. A dinner was usually served afterwards in the Home Economics room and members of the visiting teams were featured as guests of honor. The G.A.A. has sponsored some major functions this year. Perhaps the most out- standing were the Christmas dance and buffet supper on December 16th and the annual G. A.A. Banquet which was held March 16th in the library. The decorations for the banquet followed the St. Patrick's day theme with imi- tation shamrock's scattered on curtains, place cards, menus and programs. Mr. Fred H. Delhi gave the prayer and there were speeches by Mr. Simpson and Mr. Potter. Ken- neth Williams was the Toastmaster. Musical entertainment was furnished by Belva Satterlee and the Boy's Sextette. Mrs. Althadel Beamer played the piano. A dance was held afterwards and everyone agrees that this has been one of our most successful years.
