“PrCttccfrcd'd TfteA aqe In these days, when so many people feel that opportunities are limited, it is up to each young per- son to answer the challenge. Be alert, ready to strike straight at the heart of anything that is keeping you from being your best. Rewards are for those who work hard and think hard. According to Carlyle, a genius is one having “an infinite capacity for hard work.” Act today so that tomorrow finds you pro- gressing. The coward never started, the weak dies on the way and only the strong comes through. ScAoot ‘Soard We are very proud of our 1947 School Boardi who have gone through so much to try and make our school a bigger and better one. Although the school consolidation move did not go through successfully, our principal and school board fought vigorously and constantly. On our board this year were Bill Davis, chair- man; Dave Cook, clerk; Bud Jacobson and Gifford Parker, to all of whom we wish to show much grati- tude.

Student (?4UKCil Under the leadership of the Student Body President, Edward Tay- lor, the student council has accomplished great ends this year. The job of regulating and controlling student affairs was under- taken seriously by each member alike. Verlene Patterson as secretary, kept an accurate record of all business meetings and Lorraine Tally con- trolled the treasury. Frank McAlister as vice-president, Pete Pearson as senior class representative, Bill Lewis, as Junior class representative, Jim McAlister as sophomore class representative and Barbara Patterson as freshman class representative, completed the student council. Under the supervision of Mr. Fuller, the council has completed many projects. New volleyball suits were ordered and also baseball and basketball suits were purchased. Many other business transactions were given clos- est attention by the council. Although there has been some criticism, the council has strived to do what they felt was best for all. Each member has enjoyed working for the Student Body and hopes they have acted toward the satisfaction of all. 946 f(varcti Each year there are two persons picked as the most outstanding boy and girl in the high school. The choosing of these persons is based upon their attitude, grades, and ability. Since it is not known who will have their names on the Citizenship Plaque for the year until the night of graduation, we wish to recognize those two of last year, Bob Tally and Janet Wilson. Janet is now going to college in Portland, and Bob is going to East- ern Oregon College in La Grande.
