CLINE; Clerk Student Body Activities The Union High School Student Body lias just completed a very successful school year. An unusually large number of social activities were carried on by the students this year, including several afternoon “get acquainted” dances in the gym and dancing parties sponsored by outside organizations with the cooperation of the students. Appropriate school dances have been given during each season of the school year. A group of educational and entertaining programs were given by the National School Assemblies. The students cooperated with the grade school in presenting a very fine Christmas day program. The Student Body sent several representatives to tin- Eastern Oregon student officer conference at Pendleton. Several of the girls attended a play day in La Grande last fall. A point system has been worked out to give both boys and girls in the Student Body an equal chance to earn certain awards. The Student Council has become active and is arousing more interest and enthusiasm in the- student government. The high school seniors attended an “All Senior Day” conference at La Grande to round out a highly successful year. The students have gained much by participating in, and the sponsoring of, such a well balanced social program.

VIVIAN “Bib” Transfer: ed from Pioneer. La. Home Ec. Club 1 I 11 Senior Glass History It is the language of truth and not of exaggeration which calls the class of ’31) the most glorious of them all. It is the class of destiny. From our very infancy, while we were yet in the ranks of the “rookies’’ we were making history, matchless history! Our freshman and sophomore years were eventful ones. As freshmen we kept the sophs in hot water; as sophomores, we trained the freshies in the way they should go. We began early to seek honor on the athletic field, having furnished both brains and brawn in the various sports. Hut this is not all. As juniors, we furnished leaders in debate; in declamation we won second honors; on the basketball team we claimed the all Eastern Oregon center. This spirit of ’39 is boundless and free. It keeps marching on. Our senior class year glows with a still more refulgent luster. This hopeful class has climbed to the heights of wisdom under the guidance of our able faculty. We not only have one of the highest scholastic records of any class, hut we also have one of the highest records in athletics. For two years we have been triumphant in winning the pep contest. As our past has been happy, our present is equally brilliant, and if, in the “sweet subsequently,” we shall be able to buffet the cruel fates as easily as we have overcome the obstacles of our high school days, our fortunes will be all the fondest heart could wish and will be an unbroken dream of felicity and happiness. Surely we must conclude with the sage of old, that the class of '39 is “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Your class historian, Mary Hutchinson Class Ofllcnrs President -----------------------Carl Moulton Vice-President __________________Bernice Wilde Secretary _______________________Virginia Sager Treasurer _______________________Melba Johansen Motto: “It isn’t the gale but the set of the sail that determines the way we go.” Class Flower: Rose.

S.. ln'ing in full possession of all our mental faculties and fearing no one (not even the superintendent) do hereby devise, will and bequeath all our possessions, professions, and perfections to the persons hereinafter mentioned, to lx1 held by them in undisturbed tranquility throughout their perspicacious lives. First, to the Nazis at large, we give that which they so sorely need, our entire stock of common sense. Next, to our beloved Country we do give our services of the pick and shovel as provided by the PWA. To the Board of Directors of Union High School we bestow the wish that they find the peace of mind which they have not known during the? years of our presence. To the professors and teachers we gladly return all absent and tardy slips; makeup work, exams, 5's, etc., hoping they appreciate that which so easily slipped from OCR minds. To the Juniors, who hope to become Seniors, we grant the many mistakes, blunders. inaccuracies, inefficiencies and lapses which have been so carelessly dropped by us. Mistakes, being a natural portion of youth, the recipient may be spared making so many himself by acquiring those of another. To the? Sophomores we convey the art of saying the wrong thing at the right place and the right tiling in the wrong place. There is no doubt that by research and study one may become an accomplished expert in such trivialities. To our distant successors, the Freshmen, we leave everything which we cannot take with us—that which is nailed to the door. To Whom It lMay Concern: 1. Our castles and estates, bombs and shells to anyone who may care to exercise squatter privileges in Spain. 2. Our well-known ability for exaggeration to those whose favorite topic is “Spring Vacation.” To the progress of community singing we present our arrangement of “Little 'Liza Jane.” To Union High we express our deepest appreciation for giving us a start in the path to success and upholding our class motto which is: It isn’t the gale, but the set of the sail, that determines the way we go.” INDIVIDUAL WILLS !.

Dated this eighteenth (18) day of May in year of our Lord. One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-Nine. (SEAL) (Signed) THE SENIOR CLASS Witnesses: Bernice Wilde, Leo Hansen Glass Prophecy The class of 1939 was blessed this year with the presence of a very famous man, who. after much coaxing, has decided to help us with a glance into the future to see what our individual class members will Ik doing in 1959. This distinguished artist is none other than “Prince Ali Meldrum. The one, the only, and of course the original. He has with him that priceless gem. his crystal ball. Wait a minute. Ah, yes! The ball is becoming clear and in it we can see Inyond the slightest doubt, our old friend, Johnny Haynes, coaching the New York Yanks. Right l esidc him is Reggie, acting as official manager. Now as we gaze into the ball, it seems almost unbelievable to see our sturent lxjdy president. David Baum, out in the middle of a field hoeing corn, (jetting back again to the city, we find one of our most beloved students, who has gone far in manly arts. Ahem! Meade Ballard is now very busy working at Miami Beach, judging beautiful girls. Again the crystal ball takes 11s on a wild jaunt across the- continent to the beautiful forests of the Rockies; glancing a little closer into the ball, we see a group of men. They are none other than a new division of the Civilian Conservation Corps, namely: Franklin Terrall, Boots Rode, Marvin Fager, Neal Van Ilousen, Floyd Van Order and Robert Wells. Next, we find ourselves being ushered into the editor’s office of the Police Gazette and are flabbergasted to find Bernice Kinsey sitting behind this mahogany “hunk of furniture, more commonly called a desk, t’pon asking a few questions we learn that sales have increased 29% since Bernice took over the job. As most of you probably expected, Patty and Morris are married, and have a nice wood hauling business of their own. Looking at married couples, the crystal ball takes us into the home of another happily married twosome, and they are: Albert (Big Boy) Fager and our little mountain girl friend, Dorthea Parson. The Prince tells us that Virginia Anderson hasn’t as yet outgrown her bashfulness from the opposite sex. therefore she is an old maid and will be unless she accepts Charles Castor’s 37th proposal. The scene in the crystal ball changes to a drug store in Los Angeles where Carl Moulton is the head pharmacist with Elgin Childers as his right hand gal. The scene changes in this dratted” ball are coming so fast now that I'm getting dizzy watching it; however, when it does clear up, it really is worth looking into. Ah! Now we’re back in that little town of Union where we find Gordon Coles, the editor of the Eastern Oregon Republican, writing a scandalous editorial about the newly elected mayor, Emil Mulvehill. This next revelation of the future was really a shock to me; it is Lulumae Wiglesworth and Vivian Williamson doing a hulu hulu dance on the Major Bowe’s traveling unit. They are really very good but they give all the credit to their teacher, Mr. Leo (Jitterbug) Hansen. Going from the stage to the wide open spaces, the wonderous crystal ball discloses the Lcdridge Dude Ranch with Bob as its efficient proprietor and manager. He has with him on the ranch. Mary Hutchinson, who is the perfect hostess. Also, we musn’t forget that trick riding specialist. Betty Rae McDonald, the only girl in the United States who can do a tap routine on the saddle of a horse while it is prancing. As we pass from the dude ranch to an old tumbled down shack in the desert, we look in. to find our beloved friend and classmate, Maxine Irons, working out some of the details of Einstein’s theory. Again changing the scene, we move east, very rapidly of course, to New York and are just in time to see Melba Johansen making her debute as an assistant to Irving Berlin. While in the East, we visited the museum of natural history where we find James Withycombe talking to himself and saying something to us in Indian lingo. His official title is “Indian Interpreter”, but there are no Indians, so what? To leave the U. S. for a moment, we go to Hawaii where we were very surprised and at the same time rather jealous of our former classmate, Herbert Hoyt, who is the bouncer in a Hawaiian night club. Can you imagine Herby being so cruel to the fair sex? We couldn’t. Now back in the good old United States and we go directly to a hospital to sec one of the nurses, who we learned was Virginia Sager. She is doing remarkably well; in the same hospital. Thelma Lange is tht dietitian and is now working on a new diet for Norma Erwin, who has lost weight since we knew her. In this same hospital we find Vera Allen is the head of the maternity ward. The Ward-McClellan Beauty Shoppe in Union, is the latest resort of tin Stitch and Chatter Club, and is of course operated and managed by Verla and Erlene. Ye gods! What was that? Tin crystal ball just blew up. The last thing I could see was Bernice Wilde, so I guess that explains why. Oi, your old friend the Prince, is becoming very ill from the shock so will have to say goodbye.” See you in 1959------- 15 JUNIORS I First Row—Alexander, Anderson, Bell, Rimer Bates, Edward Bates, Cobb Second Row—Calvin, Cheney, Cosner, Conley, Counsell, Crabtree Third Row—C.

They were president, Audrey Anderson; vice-president, Kenneth Mills; secretary, Marjorie Cobh, and treasurer, Don Kinsey, 'flic class started with an astounding amount of energy. Its score on the pep contest rose steadily to top position. The financial condition was and is the best of any class in the school. The money the treasury boasts was accumulated by “hot dog” sale's at games and a junior class carnival—the first given in Union high— which was a treinenduous success. The juniors, who appear to be rather successful salesmen, first sold magazines, winning for themselves four points of tlu pep contest. They turned their energy to the sale of Christmas cards. During the school year, they also sponsored several cafeterias. The height of the moneymaking drive was the c lass play. The class used some of its hard-earned money to buy the student body’s new jockey satin basketball suits. The individual students of the junior class were also outstanding on committee work and student council activities. From the class this year, came the song queen, yell leader and his assistant, and several students had leads in the operetta. The class also had the star football player of Union high school—“Choc:” Shelton, who this year made the all Eastern Oregon team. Idonna Ward was the c lass nominee for May Day queen. This class gave the seniors, as a grand climax to an exceeding good year, the annual banquet which was exceedingly successful. 18 Sophomore Glass History The class of ’41 has, in the past two years at Union High School, learned and achieved many tilings. Though it has been the smallest class in school, it has always held its own and done it well. The class has been represented in every school dub and has taken active part in Glee Club by participating in operettas and music festivals, in the Dramatics Club through plays and their direction, and in the various other school activities. Several of the boys have “made the team” in football, basketball, and baseball. This year, this class won the first place for giving the best pep assembly. In all its work, the class has been cooperative and good sports and this class hopes to continue to be a class of which Union High School can be proud.

It boasts an excellent attendance and a high grade average. This class has always been most willing to participate in all of the school activities. The group is also rather proud of its showing in glee club and band. The young males of the class haven’t done so badly in athletics, either; Billy Gale promises to be another “Choc” Shelton. The class has broken down all barriers of the upper classmen by its grand display of sportsmanship.

Relying almost entirely on an in-tackle play to score and a rushing defense, the Union team lost only two games and finished third in the Blue Mountain League. Power on the offense was supplied by “Choc” Shelton, 180 pound “all Eastern Oregon” half-back. Morris West and Captain Carl Moulton supplied the speed; James Withycombe and Marvin Fager were very efficient in clearing the way for the hall carriers. The Bobcat’s line, which outcharged the majority of its opponents, boasted of four capable and speedy ends, led by David Baum, another all Eastern Oregon man; Franklin Terrall; Gordon Coles; and Robert Wells. Meade Ballard and Maurice Hand were rated very high by their opponents at the tackle position; Herbert Hoyt and Bob Led ridge proved very effective both offensively and defensively at the guard position. Boots Rode and Ehrman Davis at center played the entire season without making any bad passes and backed up the line on defense like a couple of real Bobcats. Other players that experienced plenty of action during the season were: Carl Schlichtig. guard and tackle; Lewis Ingram, guard; Billy Gale, Leonard McCord, Kenneth Hoyt and Marvin Tarter in the back field; and Neal Van Housen at tackle position. The coaches, Ned Gleason and Milt Boring, were proud of the team’s record and cooperation, and join in with the student body and the town’s sportsmen in wishing the graduating seniors luck in their future athletic endeavors. “CHOC SHELTON Strong Arm of the Team Winner of Best All-Around Player Trophy 28 I5ASKKTUAIX.. I ! .{N- }! Tin basketball team of this year boasts a most successful season. The Bobcats with their light and color won the complete support and admiration of the high school student body and townspeople. Getting off to a poor start at the first of the season, but improving greatly as the season progressed, Union was rated as fourth best in Eastern Oregon before the tournament; and by good sportsmanship and clean play (something for which Union is famous) the Bobcats walked away with second place honors in the Eastern Oregon Tournament. In the games during the season, the red and white suffered a few upsets and unexpected occurences, but throughout the whole season every man was behirid his teammates one hundred per cent in every way. Nearly all the lx ys had been playing together in previous years so their cooperation was astounding and excellent. The graduating seniors can look back on this year’s team with complete pride and satisfaction. The seniors on the team this year were: David Baum, the high point man of the Bobcat team and made over 250 points. He alternated between center and forward positions. Franklin Terrall was an expert on getting the ball off the back-board. He played forward and guard positions. Bob Wells put Union in the final game of the E. O. tournament with his winning foul shot. He played forward and center positions. Charles Castor was the tallest player on the squad. He distinguished himself as a valuable player to the team. Gordon Coles was named as the scrappiest player on the team. Three men of this year’s team will lx back next year. These are Richard Baum, Tommie Lloyd and Charles Holcomb. The outlook for next year’s team is very good, but this year’s record will be very hard to beat. The student body, faculty, and townspeople wish to compliment this team on its playing which brought Union a trophy as the runners-up in Eastern Oregon.

This shows a more active interest and better participation in this sport than Union has shown for some time. The season this year began with the largest baseball turnout ever known. There are quite a few lettermen back from last year, including Johnny Haynes, catcher; Ehrman Davis, 1st base; Carl Moulton. 3rd base; “Choc” Shelton, fielder; Gordon Coles, fielder; Jimmy Dean, fielder, and Slv rman Anderson, fielder. There an also a number of boys turning out this year that haven’t been out before, including about ten freshmen. Mr. Clausen l elievcs that if lie can develop a pitcher, he will have the best team in the league. If Union can go higher than last year, it will add to one of the most successful seasons Union has ever had in the history of athletics. At the present time Union is tied with La Grande for the lead in the Union County Interscholastic League with three wins and one defeat in league competition. Union defeated Imbler 12-2 on the Union field and Cove 29-2 at Cove; Elgin 9 to 6 at Union, and lost to La Grande 13-10 at La Grande. Jimmie Dean and David Baum are the leading pitchers. The boys who are now batting over 300 are Carl Moulton .637, Jimmie Dean .539, Johnny Haynes. .308, David Baum .375, and Louis Shelton, .308. The present team is composed of Johnny Haynes, catcher; David Baum and James Dean, pitchers; “Choc” Shelton, first base; Richard Baum, second base; Carl Moulton, third base; James Dean and Leonard McCord, short stops; Gordon Coles, center field; Ehrman Davis, right field; Sherman Anderson and Leonard McCord, left field. The Union track team consisting of the following men, Robert Wells, James Withycombe, Carl Schlichtig, Gordon Geertsen, Morris West, Carl Moulton, Harold Hess, Edward Griggs and Maurice Hand made an excellent showing for themselves during the season. The track squad averaged twenty-six points per meet during the regular track season and finished fifteenth in the state meet at Corvallis. Robert Wells established a new high hurdle mark in the Eastern Oregon meet and was the only boy from Union to make any points in the state meet. Carl Moulton also qualified for the state meet in the javelin but failed to place. Other outstanding track men were Morris West in the pole vault and James Withycombe in the 440 yard run. James Withycombe, Robert Wells and Carl Moulton will be the backbone for the 1930 track squad. New men will be Marvin Eager, Meade Ballard and Louis Shelton in the weights; Elmer Bates, Sherman Hawkins and Norman Wicks in the longer runs and Billy Gale in the dashes. 31 Let term ©m's Club Tlu Lettermen’s Club of this year lias proved a most progressive organization, advised by coach Ned Gleason. At the end of the football season the club presented their advisor with a wrist watch in appreciation of his loyalty, sincerity and genial treatment of the team. This club increased its ranks by adding, after a rather severe initiation. Maurice Hand. Lewis Ingram. Sherman Anderson, Marvin Eager, and “Boots Rode, football lettermen and baseball lcttermen from last spring. After basketball season, Richard Baum.

The lettermen are proud of the club’s activity and hope the group will continue to 1m important in the school activities. mm Baby Bobcats The Baby Bobcats of the Hutchinson school successfully defended their county basketball championship of the 1937-’38 season by turning back all county opposition in the tournament held in the Union gym. The team established themselves as potential champions by dropping only one game previous to the tournament. They then came through by defeating La Grande, Imbler, and Cove in succession in tournament play. Six of the ten boys playing this year have enjoyed their second season as county champions. An enviable record of 24 wins and 2 defeats in 2 years has been made by these young Bobcats.

The property managers were Emil Mulvehill and Charles Castor; accompanist, Mary Hutchinson; orchestra, Grace Scully and Mr. and Mrs. Don Covey. The story was woven around the return of the O’Briens from the city where they had spent several months. As they were financially embarrassed, they had to come home but that was the last thing they wanted to do for the lure of the city life was hard to ignore. The uncle masqueraded as a negro as he thought something was wrong if they spent several thousand dollars in such short time. He got a job at the home of the O’Briens and saw how they snubbed their well-meaning neighbors and made poor Rosalie do all the work. When he did show his true identity, the tables were turned” and he said that he was going to give Rosalie some of the things that she should have had along with the two girls. Mrs. and Mr. Gabble. Nick, and Martha lent their country wise-cracks and gossip to the plot to make it comical. This operetta was given the afternoon and evening of January 13.
