Officers installed for the year were: President...............Arnold Olsen Vice-President.......Patsy Petersen Secretary.......................Opal Simonis Treasurer...................Lorraine Johnson Sergeant-at-arms...Betty Jean Davis Several weeks after school had begun, we took the juniors out to Lampkin's gravel pit for the annual junior-senior weiner roast. In January Opal Simonis and Arnold Olsen enrolled at the N. Y. A. center at Pendleton. They returned in the spring to graduate with the class. On March 19, we presented the play, The Arms of the Law. All the members of the class were active in sports and all other activities. Betty Jean Davis won the Victory Queen contest for the bond rally held April 24. Verna Smith won second place in the contest. ______________________________________________________JuLLl CLASS HISTORY On a September morning in the year 1939 A.D., fifteen green but self-confident fresh- men launched upon their noteworthy careers as high school students. After a week of initi- ation and making several embarrassing mis- tcuces, such a:; marching out of Business Training class en masse at the ring of the first bell instead of the second, or passing bell, we had lost a great deal of our self- confidence; were much meeker in spirit, and bowed humbly to the will of our superiors. As sophomores we found our ranks consid- erably lessened by the loss of several of our members: Orval Oliver, Lorothy Shafer, Elsie Rowett, and Wilma King, all of whom had moved away. When we assembled as juniors there were only eight of us and ’’Hank O.lsen was the only boy. Ray Ledbetter and Shirley Higley had moved away and Effie True had forsaken us to become Mrs. Jay Severns, On September 8, 1942; as our class en- tered the school portals as dignified seniors to begin our last eventful year in North Pow- der High School, we found that v e had lost another member, Jeanne Taylor, who had left our midst to become Mrs. Bill Barnett.. After Christmas Opal Simonis and Hank left us to attend N. Y. A. school in Pendleton, but they returned to graduate with our class The entire class has participated act- ively in sports, dramatics, and all school activities throughout our four years of nigh school. V e regretfully leave this, our school, but will carry the memories of our high school days with us always as we step out in- to the world to help do our part in the struggle for peace and freedom. ★ CLASS WILL We, the senior class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Three, who now leave this school with regrets and many fond memories to step out into a world of uncertainty and turmoil, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament, hoping that those who follow in our footsteps will remember our virtues as well as our faults: To the class of 44 we, the Senior Class of '43, do hereby will and bequeath our abil- ity to get things done in a peaceful manner at our class meetings. To the class of '45 we will and bequeath our boldness and forwardness, feeling that they could use a little more of those quali- ties , To the class of '46 we will our dignity and good manners. We, as individual members, will the following: I, Betty Jean Davis, will and bequeath my ability to put out the ’’Broadcaster to my suocessor. I, Lorraine Johnson, will and bequeath my willowy figure to my sister Joan. I, Arnold G. Olsen, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to get kicked out of class to Kenneth Myers, knowing that he will use it to its best advantage. I, Lois Pearson, will my meanness to Dorothy Petersen. I, Patsy Petersen, do hereby will and bequeath my boldness to Janette Miller, who is very much in need of it, I, Opal Simonis, will my ability to chew gum to Delpha Smith. I, Verna Smith, will my shyness to Elsie Nice NAME NICKNAME THEME SONG Betty Jean Davis Davis1 I Had the Craz- iest Dream Lorraine Johnson Slats Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree Arnold Olsen Hank I Ain't Got No Use for the Women Patsy Pet- ersen Dopey I’ve Heard That Song Before Lois Pear- son Pearson There’s a Star Spangled Earner Waving Somewhere Opal Simonis Oh .
