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.

Last Will and Tenia men ( We. the Senior Class of 1939, having completed four arduous years in U. H. 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 !. Vera Allen, do w ill and bequeath the Civilian Conservation Corps to Willma Hutchinson. I, Patricia Aston, do will and bequeath my big brown eyes to Leona Stonedahl. 1.
