RAINIER UNION HIGH SCHOOL RAINIER, OREGON Volume 35 f DEDICATION We, the Annual Staff of Rainier Union High School, wish to dedicate this annual to our sponsors. For years they have supported us and have made it possible to have our annual published. This dedication is to thank all sponsors and show our appreciation to them. O Emeraude Staff Left to right: June Ledford, business manager; Gary Forrest, editor; Ronnie Chase, assistant editor; Dorrene Olsen, assistant business manager. Each year, a small unglorified group like this tackles the task of attempting to produce a satis- factory annual for the Student Body and this year it is no different, they still go unglorified; however, I wish to thank those who helped make this pub- lication possible. Sincerely, —Your forgotten Ed. Compliments of Compliments of Rainier Auto Parts Fred Evies Rainier Oregon Deer Island Oregon Administration Classes Activities Athletics Advertising To our Principal.

In the past few years these faithful few have taken on the job of providing Rainier Union High with a complete staff of experienced and well- educated teachers.
