WILLIAMS, DORIS. 4 v 4 SENIOR HISTOIlY In September, 1936, the Class of '40 took their place in Redmond Union High School as freshmen. As time rolled on, they were carried forward into the domain of upperclassmen, encountering both strife and contentment. As they watched other classes graduate, they began to acquire a feeling of future responsibilities and importance. At last their dreams were realized: they were the seniors! During the last year the class was rep- resented in many activities and sports, taking leading parts and guiding younger members of the student body. Now with sad but eager hearts the members of the Class of '40 leave the familiar halls, and wonder if they will find the future as bright with inspiration and hope as the past four years have been. CLASS PRIDPIIECY Whereas at the commencement of the compilation of the 1950 census, it was considered advisable to conduct a research to determine the value of secondary education and, Whereas the class of 1940 of the Redmond Union High School of Redmond, Oregon, was considered a most sample group for such research and, V Whereas, the committee appointed has now concluded its work, the following report containing an account of the present whereabouts and activities of the aforesaid class ten years after their gradu- ation from high school is now herewith respectifully submitted: Vern Hartford has become the world's leading socialist.

G 65 um, wwffasfw Deny we li J UNIUR lIISTORY Q X In the fall the Class of '41 began the year filled with enthusiasm at the thought of being upperclassmen. Their enrollment was considerably smaller than when they first entered R. U. H. S. with an enrollment of 108, but they believed that despite the loss in number that no part of their spirit had been sacrificed. During the late spring of '39, it was the Class of '41 which represented the high school at the Play Festival held in Prineville. The dramatic talents of the class were further displayed by the participation of many juniors in the student body play, Second Fiddle,', during April, 1940. Several of the class were prominent in athletics, especially football and basketball. At Christmas time the class had a party at which gifts were exchanged and oranges and candy served as refreshments. The major junior activities occurred in the late spring. The class play, Spring Fever, was a delightful comedy. The final event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom on May 10, given in honor of the seniors and greatly enjoyed by both classes.

A number of the boys represented the class in football and in basketball. The sophomore class has an outstanding quantity of pep. This is personified in Frankie Stephenson, the student body cheer leader. On the evening of the dedication of the gymnasium, November 10, 1939, the sopho- mores gave a play much enjoyed by those present, Be Home by Midnight?

In the fall of 1939 there came to the halls of Redmond Union High School a group of eighty-seven new students. They were a bashful, quiet class who soon became ac- customed to the ways and rules of the school. This group of students, the freshmen, 'X soon proved themselves scholastically by appearing continuo s on th All-American, R honor roll, and honorable mention lists. A :y: 4, At the same time the advisors of activities were made to r ognize the talents of the , group. One freshman played a leading part in the operetta, and others were found in both girls' and boys' choruses. As for other activities, they took active part in the orchestra, the Girls' League, and the F. F. A. One freshman girl, Ruth Blackstone, was queen of the F. F. A. Barn Dance. In athletics the boys appeared in the F. F. A. smoker, and the girls were good in bowling, volley ball and basketball. - 0 7,1 CLASS OFFICERS M - I+ FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Q President ..........,...,..........,...,.........,....,, Seichi Konno ...,...,.,,...,,.,.,......,,.,.,..,.,, Seichi Konno Vice-President ....,.,.....,.,.,,.,.,..,..,,,,,,, ,Jay Glatt .,.,..,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,.,.,..,,, , ,, ,,..,.., Wayne Mayfield Secretary ................,,.,..,..,,.,,,,,.,,,,.,...,.., Elaine Young ,.,,,,,,,,,.,,,,..,.,..... ......, E laine Young E Sergeant-at-Arms .,.,,,,,,,,.. ,.,......., ,.,, A n dy Greiner ,..,.,,. ,,,.,,.,, ,,,., , , Neil Davis 5 X Council Members ,........ , , , ,,,,,, ......,..,................ ,....,, ,,...,,,, .,,,,,,,,,. . .,,, M a r i an Pickles V4 'W I , 5 Dqrne Johns . :ig S j - - 76' WWW x...-V ' I - A f 1 , .

Student Body has had one of the most successful years in its history. This organi- zation bought a combination radio and phonograph for the school dances. It also secured several good pay assemblies, arranged the freshmen initiation, and hello day. The Student Body Officers for the first semester were: President, Charles Sawyerg Vice-President, Keith Shepard, Secretary, Virginia Swendigg Treasurer, Dorothy Croghan, Sergeant-at-Arms, Letter- meng Council Members, Charles Hiatt and Evelyn Ryderg Yell Leaders, Bud McDonald, Mary Ellen Hutchins and Frankie Stephenson. There were some changes the second semester: President, William Hall, Vice-President, Betty Lou Shelley, Secretary, Tomiko Konnog Treasurer, Pat Follong Sergeant at-Arms, Lettermeng Council Members, Norma Jean Short and Borden Becky Yell Leaders, Frankie Stephenson and Carl Copper. STUDENT BODY PLAY When Harold Werple, a prospective bridegroom, came to the home town of his fiancee, he dropped in to see an old college acquaintance, Janet Williams, who was staying at the home of a Mrs. Baker. He persuaded the household to rehearse the marriage ceremony in order to gain self-confidence. All was well until it was learned that Wilbur, the butler who performed the ceremony, was a notary public. Director David L. Wilson decided to have two casts for this play. They were as follows: UTHIS CAST 'ATHAT CAST Minnie Carson . . . . . .Lucille Tranchell ...... .... I nez Johnson Marion Baker . . . . . .Lois McDonel ......, ....

This was merely the beginning of The Eyes of Tlaloc, a three-act mystery play directed by David Wilson. The action took place at the Arizona ranch of John Wayne fWilliam Hallj when he had mysteri- ously disappeared. Other characters who appeared early in the play were: Amanda Simpkins CPhyllis Meansj, John Wayne's housekeeperg her husband, Ezra CBob WhiteJg and Pudge Rogers, a friend of the Simpkins and partner in their crime CEdwin Schmidtl. The mystery was deepened throughout by disguised characters. The first person seen in disguise was Professor Hallett CNorval Grubbb, mas- querading as Tommy Tinker, a well-known prizefighter. His coming to the ranch created a disturbance because he immediately fell in love with John Wayne's niece, Nancy Howe QEvelyn Ryderj. Miss Howe brought with her two friends, Virginia Byrd and Pat Gillis fDeLora Davis and Betty Jeanne Kings- buryj. Other parts were Jim Wayne fMarvin Christyl, disguised as Professor Hallettg Pepita and Salvador Del Santos QDorothy Croghan and Rex Richardsonj, who come to the ranch in search of Pepito's husband, and Nawa, an Indian fLester Chitwoodl. The drama ended happily as all the mystery was solved and love found Nancy Howe and Tommy Tinker at the final curtain. The production staff included: William Hall, Warren Parr, Keith Shepard, Beryl Roberts, Vernon Kirby, lla Kissler, Agness Alexander, Will Kanoff, and Betty Mae Weigand. J UNIOR PLAY The scene of the play was Mrs. Spangler's rooming house at Brookfield College. The action started on the day before commencement and in addition to her regular college boy roomers, their girls kept popping in and out, a few parents and aunts turned up, and 'tPrexy and Professor Bean found several occasions to call. Things happened in this play for the characters were all struck with spring fever. The boys who lived in this house were Ed Burns, a chemistry studentg Vic Lewis, an art studentg and Howard Grant, a senior studying zoology. Lou Herron breezed in frequently to borrow the type- writer and to see Ed. Anne Purcell was Howard's Uheart interest. Ed's pals gave him many headaches and made his love affairs difficult. At the end Howard proved to be a big disappointment to his Aunt Maude, his girl, and his friends, but the play turned out to please everyone as Ed and Lou fell in love. This play was directed by David L. Wilson. The cast included Borden Beck, Jim Carlton, Margaret Carroll, Nadine Davenport, Kenneth Davis, Philip Fleck, Carol Helmholtz, Marian Henderson, Dorothy Hodge, Bill Mayfield, Donna Jean Peterson, and Floyd Van Buskirk.

All were invited to attend the initiation of the new and the freshmen girls, followed by the Big-and-Little-Sister dance for the new members. Betty Kriger, who was in charge of the Girls' League room, supervised its redecoration. An- other outstanding and successful activity was the publication of the etiquette book under the editorship of Virginia Swendig. The League gave a St. Patricks' Day dance on March 15. An event always anti- cipated by all is the Girls' League Tea for mothers and daughters.

The purpose of this club is to further school spirit, encourage high scholastic standing, promote interest in activities, and develop good will and friendship among all students. In March a banquet was given for the Bend Pep Club. Following the dinner the members of both groups attended the Bend-Redmond basketball game.

Perhaps you remember that eventful Friday, the 17th of November, when the school seemed overrun with Tarzans showing off their muscles, they were the new Lettermen. Shortly after the initiation, on December the first, the Lettermen gave their dance. To the music of famous dance orchestras brought to them over the school's phonograph, the dancers tripped the light fantastic until Mr. Means threatened to hide the records.

FUTURE FARMERS 0F AMERICA In 1921 the Redmond Chapter of Future Farmers of America was formed. At that time it was a mere score of boys. Today, under the leadership of Mr. B. F. Beck, it has become the largest chapter in the state with a membership of 83 boys. The first activity was the annual Barn Dance. In the faint lanternlight of the hayloft of old Redmond Hi, the couples found merriment and cider at this most informal of dances. The F. F. A. put on parliamentary assemblies before the Redmond and Bend student bodies in preparation for the district contest, in which they were successful enough to win. The Father and Son banquet was planned for March eighth. At this time the members enter- tained their dads at a meal prepared by the home economics classes.

The most ambitious undertaking of the groups under the direction of Miss Margaret Dee Rugh and Mr. Leroy Wilson was the production of the operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore, by Gilbert and Sullivan. The girls' sextet, composed of Betty Lou Shelley, Mildred Spencer, Dorothy Wiley, Lola Lee Gaston, Phyllis Means and Joyce Means, sang at several civic functions. The concluding event of the season was the music tournament, April 26 and 27, annually held at Forest Grove. A chorus of eighteen girls and fifteen boys, several soloists, girls' trios, and boys' quartets took part in this contest. DPEBETTA H, M. S. Pinafore, was presented by the Glee Clubs on March 29, 1940. The plot of this well- known operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan is as follows: Sir Joseph Porter, admiral of the British navy, comes to inspect Captain Corcoran's ship and incidentally to ask for the captain's daughter in mar- riage. She, however, is in love with Ralph Rackstraw, a common sailor, but is too proud to admit it until he threatens suicide. The admiral also unknowingly pleads his rival's suit by assuring Josephine that love levels all ranks, so Josephine hesitates no longer. The elopement of the young couple is endangered by the treachery of Dick Deadeye until poor little Buttercup throws a bombshell into the situation by revealing her long cherished secret, the exchange of two babies when she ran a baby farm long years before. These infants were Ralph Rackstraw and Captain Corcoran. This smooths out the plot because Josephine may marry Ralph with everyone's approval since Ralph is now the Captain of the ship while Josephine's father is a mere seaman. The happy ending is further ern- phasized by the uniting of two other couples: Little Buttercup and Captain Corcoran, and the Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter and Cousin Hebe. The cast included: Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., Carl Copper, Captain Corcoran, Warren Parr, Ralph Rackstraw, Gene Gaston, Dick Deadeye, Bob Balfour, Bill Bobstay, Delbert Spencer, Bob Becket, Carl Herring, Josephine, Mary Ellen Hutchins, Cousin Hebe, Joyce Means, Little Buttercup, Phyllis Means. Committees included: stage management, Edwin Schmidt, advertising, Marvin Christy, tickets, Warren Parr, programs, Alice Freeman and Betty Kingsbury, and costumes, Grace Wilson. DRCIIESTBA AND BAND The Redmond High School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. William Tweedie, consists of the following instruments: ten first violins, four second violins, one viola, two cellos, one string bass, two flutes, four clarinets, two saxophones, two trumpets, one baritone, one French horn, the drums and piano. The string section is Well proportioned for an orchestra of this size. This year was one of the most successful for the orchestra since its organization in 1930-31. The group broadcast several times over the radio station, KBND, at Bend. The outstanding event of the year was the fourth annual concert held in the high school gym- nasium on March 8. The returns of the concert went to buy new music and applied on finishing pay- ment for the new instruments purchased last year for the orchestra. The guest soloist of the evening was Miss Margaret Rugh who sang. The year was also successful for the Pep Band, which Mr. Tweedie organized. The band was active at most of the basketball games and helped to show our real Redmond High School spirit This group furnished the music for the parades held during the three days of the Deschutes County Fair and played several times at the fair grounds. The Pep Band gave a number of summer concerts. DEBATE The debate year started with a tournament between the seven teams, which ended in a three- way tie. One team, Keith Shepard, Norval Grubb, Edwin Schmidt and Barbara Scott with Donald Grubb as alternate, went to McMinnville to enter in the Linfield College debate tournament. The team lost two debates out of six, thus eliminating them before the finals. The district debate tournament was held at Redmond. The schools entered were Lapine, Culver, Bend and Redmond. Redmond won five debates out of six, placing first and Lapine won four out of six, placing second. This tournament made Redmond the North Central Champions. The final debate of the year was with Bonanza. The affirmative side was upheld from Redmond by Norval Grubb and Keith Shepard. This debate determined the Central Oregon Championship. - r E4 , 3 f' :P - dl M L..- :1 ,. . . r.. :Fl , A Lf vp-,-Alf-H ' g W1 5, 1 -s f - U g Qf an 2, 3, f 1 -,assmir is A ,5-5 'Q L 'ku 1 as Q A gg ,- .

To the uninitiated, Pamela is the name given to Panther Scratches. Born in 1935, under the watchful eye of the Pep Club, she grew into such an interesting paper that the Student Bodv took her under its wing in 1936, and has in succeeding years developed her through the talents of the staff chosen from the student body. Please note: Pamela is getting set in her ways, it seems, because she came out PROMPTLY on each date scheduled-for the most part-every other Friday. Additions to Pamela's pages this year were the Hello Column, Personals, Bonnie Marie, Contributed Editorials, and the Hit Parade. Mimi turned over a new leaf and refrained from her usual tempera- mental attacks of stubbornness this year and ran smoothly up to the end. Pame1a's Panther Scratches has indeed enjoyed greater success this year than ever before and without a doubt will enjoy still greater success in future years to come. Qfffii?

In the first game at The Dalles, the inexperienced Panthers fell victim to the heavy Indians. The game ended 48 to O in favor of The Dalles. Next, Redmond played Lakeview here. Although Redmond played a hard game, Lakeview used a passing attack to win the game by a one point margin. The score was 14 to 13. In the next game, during fair time, the boys got together and trounced Maupin 20 to 0 in the Redmond Potato bowl. On October 6, the Panthers fought a losing battle against the powerful Bend Lava Bears at Bend. The final score was 38 to 0. The Redmond Panthers entered the next game against heavy odds, but after a very thrilling hard fought game, they upset the Prineville Cowboys7to 0. On October 27,Redmond easily defeated the team from Burns in the Potato bowl with the final score standing at 13 to 7. The team failed to click in the second game with Lakeview due to cold weather and a poor field. Redmond was on the losing end of a 26 to 0 score in this game held at Lakeview. On Armistice Day, in the last game of the season, the Panthers put forth their fighting spirit and defeated the Prineville Cowboys who were anxiously trying to revenge their last defeat at the hands of Redmond. The Redmond team stopped the Cowboy passing attack to Win, 13 to 7. At the end of the season an awards assembly was held. Of the eighteen making letters, five were seniors, eight were juniors, and five were sophomores. Lloyd Adams-junior. Lloyd is a very hard tackler and did fine work playing end. Watch him next year. Clarence Allen-senior. Clarence played end and was noted for his ability to turn them in. Borden Beck-junior. Borden played center where he stopped many men. He was elected by the team to be next year's captain. Dale Ayres-sophomore. Dale is a very promising halfback. He is noted for his high-stepping stride used in dodging tacklers. Gene Damewood-senior. Gene played an exceptional game at end and was a very valuable offen- sive and defensive player. Dan Kilgore-senior. Dan played good games at tackle and starred in smashing through and running interference. Norval Grubb-senior.

Bob Meeker-junior. Quarterback. Bob is known for his blocking and his fine defensive work. Bill Motley-junior. Fullback. Bill is a fast hard hitting back who really packs a wallop. Gilbert McFadden-junior. Guard. Gilbert was the heaviest man on the squad. He combines bulk and brawn to do his job. Sylvester Meigs-sophomore. Fullback. Meigs shows great promise as a backfield man. He should go places the next two years. Bill Mayfield-junior. Tackle. It is up to Bill to fill Kilgore's shoes and, from what we have seen, he can do it. Bob Shafer-junior. Tackle. Bob shows great promise at smashing through and breaking up the play. Ray Sturdivan-junior. Tackle. Ray is a reliable player. He proved he could stop a line drive as well as lead one. Paul Simmons-junior. Guard. Paul gained valuable experience during the season and shows great promise for the future. Jesse Wilson-sophomore. Halfback. Jesse is fleet-footed, and with the experience he gained during the season should be next year's threat. BASKETBALL During the 1939-40 schedule, the Panthers under the capable hand of Coach Kenna won 12 out of 20 starts, a good showing for anybody's team. Several of the eight games lost were within 5 points, so you know the tough Panthers went down fighting. Although some of the boys graduate, the Panthers should put on the floor a good fast team next season. Center-Dan Kilgore scored 119 points and always managed to score for his team. Forward-William Hall scored 72 points, William was noted for his swiftness on fast breaks. Guard-Captain Chuck Hiatt scored 61 points, and was known for his clever ball handling. Forward-Elliott Kingsbury scored 53 points, Elliott with his good shooting could always be counted on when points were needed. Guard--Gene Damewood scored 44 points. Gene's aggressiveness on the backboard was an asset to our team. Guard-Dale Dorn scored 34 points. Dale's fakes made him outstanding on the floor. Forward-Bud McDonald scored 23 points. Bud will bear watching next year with his speed and aggressiveness. Center-Borden Beck scored 21 points. With his easy ball handling and clever shooting Borden will be a threat to any opponent's team. Forward-Gale Dorn scored 19 points. Gale with his smoothness and speed will be invaluable next year. guard-Bill Mayfield scored 10 points. Bill made a great showing this year following the back- boar . Ffuard-Chuck Sawyer scored 8 points. Chuck's skill on the floor helped the boys out of many a ho e. TRACK The Panther track team in the 1938-39 season placed second in the Redmond-Bend meet and, following that, third in the Bend Medley invitational meet. In the district meet the tough Panthers took second. Two members qualified for the state meet, Jesse Wilson and Meritt Hill. R. U. H. S. was represented by Sylvester Meigs, Clare Hyde and Jesse Wilson in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, in the 880 relay by Clare Hyde, Sylvester Meigs, Jesse Wilson and Mel Behymer, and in the hurdles by Clare Hyde. Also entered were: in the polevault, Philip Fleck and Meritt Hillg in the weights, shotput, javelin, and high jump, Dan Kilgore, in the javelin, Philip Fleck, in the mile, Earl Pedeng and in the half mile, John Susac. Mel Behymer ran the 440 yard run. The Panthers should put out a strong team next year, for only a few members were lost by graduation. TENNIS 1939 was a successful year for the tennis teams. Chuck Hiatt, Bud Williams, Borden Beck, Gale Dorn, and Don Houk, members of the boys' team, defeated Bend twice, won from Culver, and were defeated by Prineville. The girls, team, Dot Croghan, Dot Hodge, Norma Short, and Frankie Stephenson, won from Bend, and also defeated Prineville and Culver. The prospective players for the 1940 boys' team were Chuck Hiatt, Bud Williams, Borden Beck, Gale Dorn, Dale Dorn, Gene Gaston, and Don Houk. Most of these boys also will have another school year in which to show their tennis ability. The main candidates for the girls' 1940 team were Dot Croghan, Dot Hodge, Frankie Stephenson, Virginia Swendig, Terry Hubbard, and Myrtle Brown, who should make a good showing.
