956 BADGER POWDER V HIGH SCHOOL NORTH POWDER, OREGON Edited by SENIOR CLASS EDITOR: Glennabelle Maxwell ASSISTANT EDITORS: Kerry Newman Bill Loennig ART EDITOR: Ivalee Green ASSISTANT ART EDITOR: Dora Mae Boesch BUSINESS MANAGER: Pete Lybecker ADVISER: Mrs. Kathryn Hardman Published by INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS, INC. PHOTOGRAPHERS: Holman Studio, Senior portraits. Emmet Willard, group photos, classroom scenes, division pages and activity pictures. Students of Powder Valley High School appreciate the nearness of the high lakes,such as Anthony Lake which is shown here, where fishing, swimming, boating and hiking are favorite summer sports. The snow-covered orchards along the roads are among the many beau- tiful winter scenes familiar to all at Powder Valley as they come and go from school. The BADGER staff has tried to capture on these pages some of the highlights which have made our high school days more interesting. We hope in years to come, the BADGER will carry lasting memories of the year of 1956. The mortarboard has been displayed throughout the BADGER for the sincere purpose of reminding all students of the climax of their high school days. Contents DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION SENIORS STUDENT BODY MUSIC SPORTS STUDENT LIFE It is with deep appreciation and sincere pleasure that the yearbook staff dedicates the 1956 BADGER to Mr. Claude Jones. Seventeen years ago when many of this Senior class entered the world, Claude, as he is known to all, began his services as custodian at Powder Valley High. Therefore, the Seniors feel it is especially fitting that this yearbook be dedicated to Claude.

The season opened with a non-league win over Imbler followed by successive losses to powerful Richland and Huntington.

The Badgers, for top honors but playing in the tough nevertheless managed Tu-Valley league, to win four games were not a contender while losing eight. At times Powder Valley looked very good but since the boys could not con- sistently handle the backboard or very often work the ball in for short shots against the taller opponents, they had to be content with an average season. Of the team which played in the tournament there are six underclassmen re- turning so that prospects for next year appear to be somewhat brighter. The Seniors who played this year will long be remembered because each played a vital role on the varsity team for a number of years.

The gym was decorated with a false ceiling of blue crepe paper bearing silver stars.

Preshman Marsha Lillard Is crowned queen of he CIDER JUG JAM- iOREE, an annual svent in Powder Pal ley, by stu- ient body vice- president, Bill oennig. Princesses Patsy Crawford, senior; ihanna Patterson, junior; and Gail Fisher, sopho- more. Raffle prizes, two deep-fat fryers, were won by C. E. Johnson and Vi- ola Perkins. The queen of the Jam- boree is deter- mined by the class selling the most raf- fle tickets. Sponsored by CARR BROS. SAWMILL, who donated the lumber for booths. The office girls this year were, from left: Phyllis Kirkland, Glenda Healey, Dora Mae Boesch, and Ronda Gard. Phyllis and Ronda received phone calls, typed letters, and did other work that was necessary. Glenda, student body treasurer, and Dora Mae recorded the financial transactions for the school year. Bus Drivers The four bus drivers this year were, from left: Don Montgomery, Robert Smith, Ray Rowett, and Willard Fordice. Montgomery, a local merchant, has driven the Wolf Creek route three years. This was Smith's first year as driver of a school bus; he drove the Muddy Creek route and the activ- ity bus. Rowett, a carpenter and resident of Powder, has been on the Mt. Carmel route four years. Fordice, a farmer from Wolf Creek, drove for the first time this year on the Clover Creek route. It was also the first year a bus has been used on this route. This page sponsored by CLABK MOTOR COMPANY, Baker, Oregon, who furnished our 1955 Ford school bus. Cooks The cafeteria has been a suc- cess at Powder for several years due to the excellent work of Mrs. Irene Monaghan, left, and Mrs. Bernice McCanse. Mrs. Monaghan has worked in the cafeteria for the last four years helping Mrs. McCanse, who started to work in the cafeteria eight and a half years ago. Junior Concessions During the summer of 1955 the front of the gym was remodeled to include a new concession booth and ticket stand. The juniors operate the booth at all athletic events. Pictured are, from lefts Shanna Patterson, Mary Lou Ryan, Marilyn Fisher, and Geri Rose Nice. This page sponsored by BLUE MOUNTAIN CANDY COMPANY which supplies our concession booth.
