HENLEY SENIORS Valedictorian Salutatorian CUm Prciident SIIAKON PINCHUM ELLA BEARDSLEY JACK MARSHALL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Twelve short years ago, in 1941, the first grade teacher at Henley looked at eleven freshly scrubbed faces—five girls and six boys—part of the now-ready-to-graduate senior class. When the bell rang that fateful day, the following eager cherubs trooped in to be enrolled: Delbert Dchlingcr, Ruth Green, Adam Hoffman, Joan McPherson, Jack Mar- shall, Alice Newberry, Duane Reeder, Lucille Ring, Dale Wallin, Shirley Sherrill, and Virgil Yadon. Things were very quiet until the second grade, when in popped Mary Dillard. Jerry Lee, and Nora Meeker, whom everyone calls Torn.” There were four more destined to come in ’43, quiet Evelyn Haynes, Edith Strunk, Anne Currv and our Valedictorian, Sharon Finchum. The 4th and 5th grades were uneventful and everything was going along smoothly as we entered the 6th grade. To add to our fun that year came vivacious Sherlee Ralston from the sunny South, and brown-haired, brown-eyed Joyce Johnson. Sherlee left us at the end of that year to rejoin us later, in the 8th grade. McKenzie lost an honor student that year, Ella Beardsley, our Salutatorian. Hooray! Boys at last! In the eventful year of 1949, Keno high school students were transferred to Henley. They included: Don Anderson, Larrv Howard, Noel Jones. Georee Powell, Allen Ward. Shirley Johnston, Reina Hurlbut, and Della Wick. From Altamont came Bette Lou Carson, destined to be the first girl student body president in many years. With all this boost of enrollment, we were really set to have fun—and fun we did have! Thus we sailed into our Sophomore year. We lost Virgil Yadon to Southern California, but he returned during our senior year. During our junior year the total was increased by five: Calvin Douglas from Malin, Dick Rayson from Grants Pass, Delbert Case from Washington, Rodger Ford also from Washington, and brainy Virginia (Ginger) Garske. The pattern was completed in our senior year with the addition of songbird Lula Rodgers, and another girl from down south, Jeanette Saunders. Life in school has had its ups and downs, but most of our remembrances arc happy ones. Although thirty-seven seniors look forward eagerly to adult lives, in the years to come we will often think wistfully of the happy, carefree schooldays. To Henley High we say, Thanks for the Memories.” 47
