UNION HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. CLASS POEM. I Oh, we four are the size of the class of ’09— In brilliance and gray matter we always shine; We’re the best behaved class in the whole big high school, And we never were known to transgress any rule. II. Annie Hillier’s the first one, and here let me state That she’s longing for Canada early and late; She’s as modest and shy as a sweet violet, And such calmness and kindness I’ve never seen yet. III. The next one of notice is Beatrice Pugh— She’s been honest and amiable all the year through She abhors all disorder (of course that is right,) And cleans out her desk both at morning and night. IV. Then Madeleine Hill is the next one in line, With a brow intellectual and eyes that are fine; In amateur shows she gets nothing but praise. And she’ll make a good actress on one of these days. V. The last one of mark in this notable roll Is the author of this insignificant scroll. Her likes and dislikes are too many to state, But to be an old spinster is surely her fate. VI. There are those in our class that you’ll hear of again— They’ll do noble deeds both with sword and with pen; And so to the public we bid an adieu, Till some of these long-hoped-for pipe-dreams come true. —R. b. S. ’09 12

UNION HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. In the Oratorical Contest to be held in Pendleton, Monday, May 24, the Union High School will be represented by Miss Madeline Hill, of the Senior Class. Her subject, “The Passing of a Race,” deals with the persecution of the Indians during the years since the coining of the white man, and her thought and composition are unusually good. Union has not been very successful in the past few years in Oratorical Contests, but we are hoping that our luck will turn and Madeleine will capture great honors for the Union High School. It is owing in a large measure to the liberal policy adopted by the members of the School Board, viz., M. F. Davis, W. A. Maxwell, Thos. Brasher and Clerk E. L. McIntosh, that the schools have been managed so successfully this 3'ear. We regret to say that two photographs, those of Miss Georgia Wright and of Miss Florence Olmstead, for unavoidable reasons, do not appear among those of the other members of the faculty. Owing to our not being able to obtain their photographs in time to publish them in the Annual, we were obliged to omit them, a fact which we regret exceeding!} . 11
