 SSnnater dub m January 1924, the girls of the Union High School, organized a club which they called the “BOOSTER CLUB”. Miss Partridge, the commercial teacher, was chosen the advisor, Doris Busick was elected president, Marcia Phy vice-president and Leona Rosewall, secretary and treasurer. The Booster Club entertained the various visiting Basket Ball teams. At the close of the Basket Ball season they gave a banquet for the football, basketball teams and high school faculty. At the end of the year, every one had decided that the “Booster Club” was a great success and that it should continue in the following years. 1924-25 they began working in January with the following officers: Miss Partridge, advisor; Gracia Haggerty, president; Myrl Mayo, vice-president; and Nellie McClellan, secretary and treasurer. They took up the same kind of work as was done the year before. The “Booster Club” and “Tom Cats” work together for the good of the school. The work will go on the same next year, although we have lost a very faithful advisor. We hope to get one that can fill her place. Q---------0 Camp Jfirr (Stria The Camp Fire Girls organization of the High School renewed activities for 1924 on November 18, with a meeting held for the purpose of electing officers. The officers elected were as follows: Susan Chadwick, president; Myrtle Webster, vice-president; Marie Smith, secretary and treasurer; Areta Titus, reporter. Work was immediately begun on the play “The Camp Fire Girls”, but owing to weather conditions and other unsatisfactory circumstances, it was decided that the play should be dropped until the future. The girls fed and entertained several visiting teams of basketball girls, and conducted candy sales at the various games and plays. The sales were for the purpose of raising Imoney to pay dues, and other fees. After the Christmas vacation, several new girls were initiated into the camp and feeds and ceremonial meetings occupied the camp’s attention. Then came tournament week, and the girls conceived the idea of selling pop corn balls and soda pop at the basket ball games in order to raise the necessary funds for ceremonial gowns. Their efforts considerably increased the amount in the exchequer. So many girls wished to enter the camp that it was decided that two groups be formed, as a camp cannot have more than twenty members. The number of applicants exceeded that number, so the other camp was organized. It is hoped that more work along this line can be done, as the organization is beneficial not only to the girls in it, but to the entire school as well. When the present guardian of Camp No. 1, Miss Partridge, leaves, Mrs. Pitts will take her place. Miss Georgiana Jensen will act as guardian for Camp No. II. The girls are planning a week of camp life at Wallowa Lake this summer. Page Eighteen

 Q »?===fr =-----------------■ - -(0 - == 0 Valuta tun) Kind Triends, who are here today to see us close with our exercises the school work of the term, while we welcome your coming and are honored by your presence, we beg of you not to expect too much from students in the way of intellectual performance. We beg of you to overlook our shortcomings “Be to our faults a little blind,” and to our merits, if you find them, very kind. Be satisfied with the intention of my schoolmates to do their best; and, though their best might be better, it is not likely, with the training they have had, to be very bad, unless their bash fulness should get the better of their knowledge. Whether we please you or not, we are glad to see you, and we welcome you to the place where we close our studies for the term. These exercises tonight are meant to add to your amusement, while they form our enjoyment. You may forget them all in a little while, but with us they will be an abiding memory. A triumph won today, however trifling it may be to others, is a serious thing for the victor, for it proves that his industry has been well bestowed and the labor of our teachers Inis not been thrown away. EDYTHE GILKISON 0 0 llsdciuctont The time for the class of 1925 to bid farewell to high school days forever, has come. With it come a pang of regret, a feeling of lonesomeness, a welling of emotions and often a mist before the eyes. How could we look back upon our years of learning, their triumphs and defeats, their joys and their sorrows, the many friendships formed through such associations; and then look ahead, trying to picture an unknown future with all its uncertainties, which will take hold of us and shape our lives, without such a feeling. That would be almost superhuman. We also realize that we are on the verge of separation, never again to meet as the class of ’25. if in the dim distance of time we should all be together, the bond of common interest that now binds us would be lacking. Board of Directors, we know that you have always done all you could for the betterment of our school. We wish you success. Patrons and Citizens, we thank you for the support you have given us and our school. As we enter our new life, may we still have that helping hand? Members of the Faculty, we thank you for the training we have received through your patient and well directed efforts. We honor you, not alone for your authority, but for what you are. We will try to show it by helping others. Underclassmen, we desire to thank you for your friendly companionship during the past. What could we have done without you? We would like to ask that you will sometimes, in the years to come, think of the Class of ’25 Now Classmates, our high school days are over and though we would like to linger here, “To the shortest path and the longest lane, there comes an end.” The time for the parting of our ways has come and we must say the hardest of all words—farewell. It will be remembered by all of us for each time it is uttered it has a new meaning and each time a friendly hand is chisped in goodbye it has a new thrill. Let us then, knowing that this is the last time, forgive and forget a fault a classmate may have, as we clasp his hand wish him farewell and— Godspeed. STELLA EDVALSON Page Twenty-one
