Powder Valley High School - Badger Yearbook (North Powder, OR)

tycaUai The Junior Class started school this year with twelve members. Robert Gilkison came from California to raise the number to the proverb- ial, unlucky “thirteen”. However, the Juniors feel that it was lucky be- cause Robert was a boost to the football team. In the annual contest for the Cider Jug Jamboree, the class came in second for queen. Nearly all of the boys in the class turned out for both football and basketball. Some also turned out for track. Five girls were all featured on either the first or second string vol- leyball teams. At the first of the year the Juniors gave the Seniors a picnic on Antone Creek. This was returned by a swimming party at Radium Springs with a weiner roast after the swim. The Anthony Lakes road was the scene of a bob-sled party in the winter. The usual amount of spills were taken but the party was well worth it. A chili feed was held at the home of Phyllis Taylor after the sledding. The Juniors only hope that the class will have as good a time as Seniors as it has had this year.

Se U n @lcu4. PxofeAectf In the year of lbbT, the Senior Class of ’47 have planned a big re- union. Let’s follow them as they assemble for the long-awaited event. First we find Jack McGoldrick in Hollywood taking the place of the famous trumpet player, llarry James, when he suddenly remembers the class reunion. He immediately jumps into his rocket plane and flys over to New Jersey where John Leon nig has a large chicken ranch and hatchery. From there, they speed to pick up Don Hunt who has made arrangements with his commanding officer for a furlough. Stopping here for a lunch and to send some telegrams, we find them sending one to Patricia Tumiock in South Africa, where her husband is carrying on a missionary work, and also one to Barbara McCanse who is in South Amer- ica teaching the English language in a large university. Across the miles into Europe, we find Doctor Edward Taylor leav- ing his hospital at Marseille to board his rocket ship; upon arriving at London, he will pick up none other than Velmer Daugherty, the great artist. Marilyn Miller who has been teaching in the University of Berlin and the Parisian dress designer, Bernice Patterson, join Edward and Velmer. All of those mentioned will ily to New York where they will be joined by the noted beauty culturist, Jean Newman, who has a line of exclusive beauty salons over the nation. From here they will tly on to Seattle, Washington, to spend the night with Dorothy and James Thorn- ton. Dorothy is now secretary for her husband who owns the Thornton Construction Company. 1'he evening approaches and arriving are Shir- ley Pearson and Claudeen Jones. Shirley is now the wife of Kenny Smith of North Powder and they own a large horse ranch; Claudeen and her husband, Allen Nantz are living at Seneca where Allen is the head man in the lumber mill. Also we see Pete Pearson who is in the shearing business and has a slice;) ranch of his own in Montana. Leaving from Seattle early in the morning by rocket ship, we head for Alaska where we will pick up Bud Hansen who is owner and manager of a huge lumber company. From here, we will Ily to Shanghai, China, where La Verna Colpitts is doing a bit of correspondence work for her paper, the Chicago Tribune. We then will journey on to Oahu, Hawaii, where Captain Noel Gor- ham is stationed. Since Noel is unable to get leave at this time the class has decided to have their reunion on Kaikiki beach. Everyone will have an enjoyable time (we think) talking over old times, at North Powder High.

Safe otnow @lcu4. 'ZStd ntf On September 1), UXfi, the Sophomore Class entered a new and un- tried year . . . they had never been Sophomores before, and, we hope, need never be again. No sooner had the entire student body got into the swing of an- other school year of work and play than the Sophomores recalled their introduction into high school the previous year and their right to intro- duce the new Freshmen class this fall. Officers were elected with Jim McAlister, president; Carol Bradfield, vice-president; Fat Johnson, secre- tary; and Norma Thompson, treasurer. Plans were then immediately drawn up for Freshman initiation, which lasted Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (September 23-25), and was culminated by an all-school party in the gym on Friday night. Everyone, including the green little Fresh- men, cooperated to the Nth degree and a grand evening of entertainment was enjoyed by all. The Sophomores were kept so busy with studies that for some time, they were almost too busy to think about another party, but the Fresh- men gave them a hill-billy party on Tuesday evening, January 21. Every- one came dressed like hill-billies, enjoying themselves immensely, and de- cided to do something like that again soon, so the Sophomores gave a Valentine date party on Wednesday night. February 12th, each bringing a friend, and one and all went in for a big evening of fun. The members of the Sophomore class are- Carol Bradfield, Clark Gray, Edgar Newman, Pat Johnson, Pat Shaw, Keith Lewis, Arlene Mann, Jim McAlister, Jeannine Smith, Norma Thompson and Willis Marsing.
