Q C'r J.Q Crouter Emmel C Baxter Jensen 0 0 tork Jjuituum It has been the custom in past years to send a Stock Judging Team from Union, to represent Union in the Pacific International Livestock Show at Portland. As usual a team was sent to Portland this year. In the past two years Union has won fourth, but this year they fell to eighth place. In 1923 a team consisting of Henry Cadwell, Donald Lamb and Kenneth Kof-Ford went to Portland. They won fourth place and were beaten out of third place by one point and out of second place by twenty-two points. This year there was a great deal of difference in the scores but eighth place was not bad since there were seventy-five boys in the contest. Union lost the Union Stock Show Judging contest last June by one point, but prospects look bright for a very good Stock Judging Team this year. Although the team will consist of three judges which have never been in competition, since all the boys who have gone to Portland will be ineligible for any Smith-Hughes judging contest in Oregon again. Three cups are in the office now to show what the Stock Judging Team has done for Its school. Two of these have been won at the Union Stock Show. The other was won this year by Dan Crouter, Clifton Baxter, and Murray Jensen at the Wallowa County Pair. This cup must be won three years in succession to entitle the school to keep it. Union won this cup by over one hundred forty points. The boys that attended the Pacific International this year were the same ones that won the Wallowa County cup. A new form of Stock Judging is being introduced which saves a lot of time and in the future it will not take all day to judge stock at Portland. The boys of the Agriculture division have formed an organization called the Ag Club. This club with the aid of some of the High School girls put on a play named “Yimmie Yonson’s Yob.” This play brought in enough money so that the Stock Judging Team has enough to take them to Portland next year. The business men of Union have put up the money to pend the team to Portland in the past year. They have been the team’s hearty supporters every year. With the aid of It. C. Emmel, a competent instructor the team ought to place well in the State next year. Page Nine

 =m -■= 5ijmnashtm €N© The closing year of 1924-25 finds our gym almost entirely completed. During the past year, all the equipment has been placed in the shower and locker rooms, including double showers in each room, toilets, lavoratories, and drinking fountains. The floors and walls are built of concrete and every part built with a view of strength and durability. A set of lockers have also been built in the boys’ locker rooms which will accomodate about 160 boys. Stairs have been built from shower rooms up to the locker rooms above. A hot water system consisting of two heating units and boilers furnish a supply of hot water sufficient for any need. A complete modern drainage system including septic tank and drainage pit, has been built by the Mechanical Arts department, and a very creditable job was done under the direction of Professor Em-mel, instructor in the Agriculture Department. With an enrollment of a little over a hundred in the High School, including boys and girls, this huge project was undertaken and now it is practically completed. All this work except the pi umbing and drainage system has been done by the Manual Training Department. By the end of another year we hope to finish the check and office rooms and install better furnaces. To say the least, we are proud of our Gym. It is the largest project developed and completed by a Manual Training Department of a High School anywhere in the United States. This may sound like a very extravagant claim but we challenge a refutation. We have had constant use of our gym since the first game of basket ball was played in it just ninety days after ground was broken. Our stage has been used for a great number of plays, programs, and pageants, while other pleasant social functions have been held within its walls. Two annual basket ball tournaments have been held in the gym and the huge crowds, numbering over a thousand, were handled without mishap or discomfort. Union can well be proud of itc new building and we extend an invitation to all Eastern Oregon to ise our gym. Page Eleven
