Senear @leud 'r idtary In September, 1943, with undaunted spirits, twenty-two over-con- fident Freshmen paid the price of a tough initiation for the honor of be- coming members of North Powder High, (jetting into the swing of things, Pete Pearson was chosen for class president, and the Freshmen wowed ’em with a very successful performance of a three-act play, “High, Wide, and Handsome.” As Sophomores, and still the largest class in school, we won the distinction of having our candidate. La Verna Colpitts, reign over the “Cider Jug Jamboree.” Boys from our class began to climb high in the rank of athletes. John Leonnig joined our group from Muddy Creek, and Jack Frost left the class. La Verna Colpitts presided over the class. Jack McGoldrick, a newcomer from Haines, headed the class as Juniors. Don Arnold, also from Haines, joined th 5 class for a year, and Bob Curry, now with the para-troopers, dropped in for half a year. Not- able among the missing faces were Bonnie and Edson McCanse, enrolled in La Grande High. Merle Kenworthy and Merlin Smith found the Navy had too strong an attraction. Breaking tradition, we honored the Seniors by holding the annual Junior-Senior banquet at the Baker hotel. Seniors at last, Pete Pearson again lead the class, with Ed Taylor captaining the Badger basketball team and presiding over the student body. Again our candidate reigned over the “Cider Jug Jamboree” as Queen Phyllis I, and Barbara McCanse was chosen to present the trophy to the winners of the basketball jamboree in December. Among the miss- ing were La Rose Bowman, who moved to Medford, and Loretta Turner, married and living in Wyoming. Vernon Simonis and Phyllis Jones left us at mid-year and Don Hunt joined the army. Noel Gorham who en- listed in the Navy several years ago has earned his credits through the Navy and will graduate with the class of '47. 1 he class welcomed the Juniors to the upper-class ranks with a swimming party at Radium Springs early in the year, and a highly suc- cessful dance was given for the high school in March. Baccalaureate services for the graduating class were held May 11 at the North Powder Community Church with Rev. O. A. Crafford of- ficiating. 1 he («iris’ Glee Club sang “Sweet Little Jesus Boy.” Commencement exercises were hold Wednesday, May 14, in the gymnasium. The class wore caps and gowns. Mr. R. J. Green gave the graduating address. The Chris’ Glee Club sang Dear Land of Home.” La Verna Colpitts gave the valedictorian address and Barbara McCanse the salutatory address. Graduating this year will be: La Verna Colpitts, Barbara McCanse, Jean Newman, Bernice Patterson, Dorothy Thompson, Shirley Pearson, Claudeen Jones, Patricia Tunnock, Henry Pearson, Edward Taylor, Har- old Hansen, Velmer Daugherty, Jack McGoldrick, John Leonnig, Donald Hunt and Noel Gorham.
