MYRTLE POINT, OREGON We, the class of 1927, being of sound and superior mind and memory, and wishing to leave our earthly possessions in a stable and satisfactory condition so as to cause no difficulty after our departure, do hereby declare this our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave the task of caring for and watching over the underclassmen, with the sincere hope that they will be able to accomplish that task as well as we have before them. To the Student Body we leave everything that we can not take with us. I, Evelyn McPherson, will my place in Edyth’s affections to Gale Abbott. I, Gladys Culbertson, will my magic curlers (2 for 5c) to Elizabeth Kula on condition that she use them regularly. I, Frances Warner, will my formula for growing small to Mable Hall.

UNION HIGH SCHOOL When we, the Seniors of ’27, graduated from Grammar School we were said to be the smartest class that had graduated from that institution. We came to High school prepared to be friends with anybody and everybody so when we got here we received a warm welcome. As soon as we stepped in the door, the upper classmen receiv'd us with open arms, and we immediately made the acquaintance of the water faucet, and several good paddles. They said we were green and we often looked in the mirror but they must have been color-blind for we could not see that we were any greener than anybody else. When the next year came, and along with it a new group of Frosh, we did as we were done by, and also met them with open arms, and introduced them to the faucet and some paddles. We also gave a party in their honor which was a howling success on the part of the Frosh. Each year we have done our part in school, we had three members in our class who earned Basket Ball letters—Waldo Hartley, Elbert Schroeder, and DuFay Montgomery. We were also well represented in football as Kenneth Porterfield, Elbert Schroeder, Waldo Hartley and BuFay Montgomery earned football letters. The following Seniors also helped place Myrtle Point’s name on the Track Cup—William Hulet, Waldo Hartley, and Elbert Schroeder. Three Seniors were on the Typing Team—Bernice Haughton, William McLennan and Mildred Russell. We are leaving the school fully aware of the fact that we have profited immensely by our four years attendance in this institution. Page Sixteen
