 @laM WE’RE on our way ©trains of Quan-ta-la-gusta remind us of how we felt when we, the Class of 50», started on our way to our goal, to be led out (educated). Our class started with about ninety pupils and was led by Tommy Novotny. Co-leader was Bob Reynolds, Claudine Gray was Recorder, and Cecil Wilder was Bookkeeper. Mr. Charles Croston was our over- see1 er. We sponsored our annual assembly on January 17, 1947. We gave a dance March 28, 1947. Then, we were Softies. Our leader this year was Dean Wilcox. His Co-leader was Bob Hewitt, Shirley Schultz was Recorder, and Don Ourecky, Bookkeeper. Mr. Charles Croston was again our over-see'er. The girls teamed to- gether and won a Magazine Subscription Contest which helped to put lights on the football field. We gave a dance on October 10, 1947. As our goal was getting closer, we were considered Upperclassmen. Bob Reynolds was our leader, Cecil Wilder was Co-leader, LaVaughn Sleeper was Recorder, and Amelia Raysick was Bookkeeper. Miss Getchell was our over-see'er. This was our first big year. We gave Adam's Evening, which was directed by Mrs. Eleanor Howard, and was well received. A Prom was given for the Seniors which was considered outstanding. The theme of the Prom was I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles. Now, we are on our last lap. Bob Hewitt is our leader. Earl Page is Co-leader, Shirley Schultz is Recorder, and Phyllis Hewitt is Bookkeeper. Pop Rannow is our over- see' er. The annual Homecoming Dance was given in November. Over 400 people attended this affair. In December, we gave Great Ceasar's Ghost, directed by Mr. Ralph Teters, which was a comedy. On May 25, we finished our last lap. With these fond memories , we bid farewell to our fellow students and Old Sandy Hi. As we depart, we again have the feeling of being On Our Way. The Class of 1950

‘PwftAecy On November 21, 1959, I, Clara Leum, received in the mail a card from my old Alma Mater '’Sandy Hi . It was an invitation from the Class of 1960 to come to the Alumni Dance, which was Thanksgiving Eve. At first I didn’t give it much thought, and then I decided it had been quite a long time since I had seen my old friends at Sandy, and this would be a good opportunity to see them again. At 7:00 a.m. on November 23, I was standing in the warm sun of Florida, waiting to board the plane which would take me to my destination-—-—-Sandy, Oregon. Suddenly, I heard a loud roar above me. Then right before me, a plane came to a screeching hault, tipping up on nose and then settling back down on the ground. Out Jumped the pilot who was Lois Wesselink. It seems that this was the Wesselink Trans-Atlantic Line. Calmly, but not so sure I was in my right mind, I boarded the plane. After I was settled in my seat, the hostess asked me if I was comfortable. I looked up to see Lydia Jadrny, a chief airline hostess. After landing at the airport in Sandy, I got out and began to look around. I was surprised to see how much Sandy had changed in just ten years. It was now a big winter resort, where people came from all over the world to take part in the winter sports. The Main Street of ten years hence was now a huge ski jump. I had arrived just in time to see a few people practice for the ski Jump that was to be held later that day. As I looked closer, I saw they were, James Martin, Frank Wills, Madeline Dollowitch, and Audrey Richey. Just then somebody yelled— Hey look at that dame—she's gonna break her neck 1 I turned to see whom they were talking about and saw Gloria Minyard coming down the ski shute backwards. Same old Gloria, always trying something different. I went over to talk with her, and she said that she and Bobbie, now a famous ski team, had been all over the world skiing, but for the present, they had accepted a permanent booking with Don Lowe, who was business manager of the famous Snow House, the very latest in resort hotels, which naturally was owned by the very prominent Mr. Richard Snow. I walked over to the hotel and ashed for a room. The clerk, Wally Wesselink, gave me my room number and the key
