CLA35 t-TISTCRY I; the fall of 193d, .even ,reen fresh- .mu -iris er.te; sd the schoolhouse only to find that their dco.. hud airead., been sealed for tv o iitesms later, the ..uu-r-.l freshman initiation took place. T. ose sane freshman girls walked stiffly hone that light. Our sc - ho:lore year seemed less notice- able than the first for w© h?d lost tv o members of our c.l„ - , race Pearson and Freda : .oLi-mey. Cur ti dness left us in a s nil measure, out our a fudiousnoss made un for it. Phis second yoa:. v-v participated act- tively in snorts. During this tern ve lost another girl, C-irun La inbridge. Then in the fall of 38, we assembled again as upperclassmen only to find-that our sanctuary had been invaded by a boy, Willard True. The first school bell of 1939 fall found five seniors in their places. Six members remained during the last half of our senior year. This'year v o all participated in sports dramatics, pep assemblies, and all school activities. It will be with sad hearts, yet pleasant memories that we leave this school. Our motto, The elevator to success is not running; take the- stairway conveys our purpose for tno future, after the four years of advent e hen .

Washington or bust. •, ■ CLASS PROPHECY During the cold rush of the spring of ‘49 (1949) I was startled out of ny usual spring lethargy by a summons from Mr. Paul 0. Schiller. He vashed to obtain a survey of the graduates of North Powder E’. h School of 1940, so I went ladly off in search of the six scattered-brains of that class. As I reached Denver, Colorado, I v as only partially surprised to hear the fol- lowing- radio announcement: Miss M .ry lane Shafer, alias Gi glin' G -tie, the Fat Woman, coming to you on h r usual Saturday program thru the courtesy of Ry-Krisp, the modern girl's reducing food.” My modesty was so schocked, I drove madly out of the city and didn't stop until I was practically forced off the road by a one boss shay”, that wanted to pass. Cruel mur- murings arose to my lips, but they were checked when I saw that the driver was none other than Will; rd True, taking his seven children to the eirsus, or so he informed me. He in- ted mo to lea- e my Model T where it was, hoo in with, him, and go no the cir- cus. I gladly accepted as I wished to get a better look at the surrounding community. Arriving at our destination, v e gathered around the ticket oifj.ee, only to hear the seller bellow, -Cor- on folks, only a dime, ten cents. 1 Upon hearing the voice, I turned to confront-none other than my classmate, Lucille Shaw, the ticket taker. The schock was so tromendcus, I must have fainted, for the next thing I knew, I was lying in a jui op x’ospital room with, a o ettv nurse rubbing mj head. When she saw that I v as-again co scicus, she hurried from the roc , only to r-.v?rn with the doctor. I looked up into the titled Pace of Arneta Turner, then head physician ol . .yo Clinic. It just happened that the clinic was open for inspection that day. Alter rocciv— ing the necessary ministrations, I prepared to leave. I had just walked out of the door when •who should I neet hut the new Secretary of 1'ar, llayne ! illor. itii her was Secretary of Labor Bruner. Could it he the once sweet- faced senior of Berth Powder -i.gh School, Ethelyn Bruner ? Upon inquir',! was soon in- i'1 orned that it was.
