It seems a long while ago, that we started out on the trail as prospectors. Of course, we have had plenty of troubles, as who hasn't, but we had a lot of help from the faculty, or 'old timers' as we affectionately called them. we had our lighter moments, too, when we 'ditched the diggin' and went into town for a big dance. I remember the first time we were really on our own. We entertained the whole clan at St.Patr1cks Dance. Was it sad...seems as if not more than twenty-five people showed up the whole night. Yes, we were pretty green, in fact, we haven't seen a new bunch for quite a while that could hold a candle to us as far as inexperience was concerned. Not that I'm belittling our bunch. We caught up fast It was hardly any time at all before we played a big part in the 'miner's meetins' By the next year, we were pretty cocky We had a bang up time welcoming the new prospectors, and it was a pretty warm welcome we gave them This wasn't such a bad trail to follow after all And when it was our turn to provide the fun we tossed a Valentine Dance that was a huge success And then upper classmen at last' Frankly I don't know what the seniors would have done without us there to help them along The Thanksgiving Dance was a hum dinger, we seem to get better every year, even though our decorations were thrown away at the last minute we received our class rings which proved we really belong ed, and were we proud When the 'b8'ers' struck 'pay dirt' we gave them gala banquet, so as to start them out on their own with a full stomach at least Then the year finally arrived We as the 'b9'ers' led the band on what was to be the final lap of our journey It was our job to get thenewpmospectors acquainted so we threw a Mixer Dance, and had a lot of fun And then our busy year began We wrote a log of our travels, which you are now reading We were outfitted for ur new venture in caps and gowns We planned for the biggest night in town that this bunch ever had Yes indeed, the 'M9'ers' had a long and winding trail to follow, we had our ups and our downs, but now with our diplomas in sight, we know it was well worth the difficulties along the way Z 3 g f , ll 4,,,... l .

In spite of the rush, however, we always manage to meet the dead, line and deliver our finished product to the student body once a month. We listened to the cheers and Jeers of the reader and tried to make each 'iings' a little better. Cynthia Roth occupied the editor spot and wrote the editorials ev- ery month besides leading us and sending us off on a news beat. Bob Corcoran was make-up editor-cutting up the reporters' carefully chosen words to fit the pages. Sue Henderson had charge of the mimeoscope, do- ing all of the cartoons and art work. After everyone elss's work was done, Sally Sum sr, the circulation manager sent out the finished pro- ducts to the monthly subscribers. Mrs. Kloster, our advisor wielded the red pencil, sprinkling the red lead through objectionable material. Yes, to many room 206 is the lnglish room-to a member of the 'Wings' staff it is a newspaper office--machine of activity. 33 if , 4, , , ' 3 W Y' , 1 - IN e ' I o o e e O 0 I ' I e g 0 5 e , e 0 ' ' 0 : ' 0 s , e e O U ..... . - FIRST ROW P Francis S Beck D Varnum S Thomas J Walters SECOND ROW B Brunner J Thurm, D Miller Mr Diven E Hills, M Etnyre N Kearns Dorothy Varnum EDITOR Betty Brunner ASSISTANT EDITO Gwen Gipson Cynthia Roth CO-LITERARY EDITORS Luella Lippert GIRLS' SPORTS EDITOR Robert Zick Harry Saur BOYS' SPORTS C0 EDITORS Dick Jones BUSINESS MANAGER Elwin Hills CIROULATION MANAGER Virginia Marshall William Diven ADVISERS : ' I ' 9 ' 9 1 g o e ' 9 ' ' 9 ' 9 0 0 , n 34 N U A L S T A Early in the year, the annlal staff was selected to write the story of our travels through Oregon High School Under the guidance of Miss Marshall and Mr Diven, we feel that we have accomplished a great deal This year, we have printed the biggest annlal that we have ever had at 0 C H S It has been a lot of worn, but at the same time, it's been a lot of fun Of course, at the last minute, those deadlines seemed to come aroxnd awfully fast, but that was all part of the fun We hope that it fill always be a reminder to the following classes of the fun the class of '49 had while at Oregon High FIRST ROW: D Frihart G Gipson, C Roth, E Lauder, R Davis, E Morehouse SECOND ROW Miss Marshall, L Lippert L Johnson, B Wiltfang H Charlton F Slagle S Sumner G Davison THIRD ROW R Zick, D Dirksen, R Untz H Saur egg, V- 35 ' Q 0 Q ' o Y 1 o o o- o o 1 0 ' 'F : U g , g s o 0 0 3 s 3 0 - 0 1 U I o . , . , . . 0 e 0 0 9 I . - X ..fEv2iw ' f ai: ' V- I 'Vg , Y , f 1,152 ff' FIRST ROW Mr Gebhardt R Jarvis, N Cline W Walker R Cline I Woffsinger SECOND ROW D Garard, R Johnson D Arvola G Mer rill J Green T Walker W Thomas THIRD ROW C Bates J Tram pel R Walker J Patrick H Saur, R Young H Goley FOURTH ROW E Hawley C Schier J Harvath, R Zicc R Stull R Hodges, R Thurm G Huffman We have had several get togethers at which we played basketball, ing pong, and other games Iollowing these get togethers we would have refreshments consisting of sandwiches, ice-cream, and coke We have decided that we will bu some new machine or hand tool for the industrial arte shop The future Craftsmen of America of 1948 1949 sponsored by Mr Gebhardt, elected to office President, Ielson Cline.

Miss Holmes has done almost a superhuman Job in blending 120 high school voices into the well balanced choruses she achieves. As in past years, the chor- uses presented two concerts, one at Christmas time and one in the spring, which were enthusiastically received. In order to attain the high goal that they do, the students in the music field must be willing to give up a good bit of their leisure time after school. Our hats are certainly off to Miss Holmes and all her choruses. 41 is A s . 2 , J Q I e I I e I Oo ,e e ,e ge 0 0 ye ge 'O ,e e g e :e ge ge ye e e Needham, M. Shugars, J. Colson, L. Lippert, J.

Though our group numbered only about thirty-five, somewhat less than last year, we made up for what we lacked in size, with our spirit. Our meetings were spent in hearing interesting talks given by any speakers who would give us their time, or singing Latin songs. Our big event of the year was the Latin banquet served in a beau- tiful Boman atmosphere by the freshmen who acted as slaves. The effi cient guidance of Mrs. Donaldson was appreciated by us all during the banquet as well as throughout the entire year.
