Senior ( lass History Once upon a time many centuries ago, in the Dark ages it seems, there was in the hamlet of Union, Oregon, an institution of learning known as Union High School. Net much is known of this institution, but frem the dim musty records of the past has come the story of a brilliant and sturdy class of young men and women. Some of the same young men and women helped to lay the cornerstone, so many dim centuries ago, of our extremely ultra-civilized country. Those who succeeded in major athletics of Union High were, Bill Vaughn, Louis Ingram, Ehrman Davis, Jimmie Dean and Louis Shelton. They have all earned undying fame as sportsmen and gentlemen since that time. One of the biggest achievements of the class was a carnival which shewed the cooperation of the class. Its members, when Juniors, made a bad mistake near the close of the year by failing one day to appear at regular classes. That was called a sneak day. From that day on the class was known for its unity and ability to stick together. Many students gained fame as officers of the student body. Among these were Ehrman Davis—Student Body President, Choc Shelton—Vice President cf Student Body, Willma Hutchinson—Song Queen, Dennis Fuller—Yell Leader, Betty Bell—Secretary of Student Body, Audrey Anderson—Treasurer of Student Body. The class not only was the largest class to graduate in some years but they held the largest purse, went the farthest on their skip day, and excelled all ethers in their activities. The individual seniors of the senior class were also outstanding on committee work, leads in operettas, and in student council. Several members of this class were charter members of the now contestwinning Band All in all this class was a leading one all through school. They set paces and examples which classes of our posterity may well follow. ( lass OIL rers President.................Andrey Anderson Vice President ...............
