THE BOBCAT 1941 « Published by the Junior Class of UNION HIGH SCHOOL Union, Oregon Before you under smiling skies, The pathway of your future lies. So straight it seems to youthful eyes. That it is difficult to guess Which road will lead you to success. That many years will come, ’tis true May this, our “Bobcat”, then renew The happy days when skies were blue. — Virginia Childers. ion The staff of the 1940-’41 Bobcat wish to dedicate this publication to Mr. and Mrs. Donald E. Covey for their fine work in behalf of the school. Mr. and Mrs. Covey first came to Union in the fall of 1935. During the six years they have been here, they have put unrelenting labor on the starting and building of the Union Bobcat band. Their first band at Union consisted of but twenty members. Today, due to their fine work, we may boast of forty-six members with high hopes of even finer musicians in future years. It is due to their fine and considerate work that Union may speak with pride of our band. The students of Union High School extend to you, Mr. and Mrs. Covey their sincere thanks for your wonderful organization. - 4 - Hag Pole Dedication On Armistice Day, November 11, a patriotic parade was held in which the local post of the American Legion, the high school and grade school students, and the band participated. The entire parade formed a circle about a sixty foot flag pole on the northeast comer of the high school grounds. Mr. D. E. Richards, Post Commander of the local American Legion, presented Mr. Wm. Meidinger with a four by six foot American Flag. In due form of ceremony and, in behalf of the high school, Mr. Meidinger accepted the flag. Then he fastened the flag to the pole and ran it to the top, after which a few minutes of silence were observed in honor of those who died for our country. Today, whenever school is in progress, one may pass by and look up with pride at the stars and stripes magnificently waving over the foundation of our democracy, the public schools. 19 4 1 The Bobcat Editor .........................................

This was one of the biggest and finest bonfires held in the history of Union High. Parties have been held in the gym with each class taking an active part and each one directing a party. The National assemblies. Liquid Air Wonders, the Jubilee Singers, Frank P. Johnson, and the Marionettes have proven very entertaining as well as educational. On March 28 an inter-class track meet was held very successfully. The Class Pep contest was in progress with Juniors trailing the Seniors by one point for the lead. The Sophomores and Freshmen fell in with 33 and 31 points respectively. 1941 The Bobcat School Calendar SEPTEMBER: 10— School starts 13— La Grande-Union, here - Football 20— Joseph-Union, there - Football 24— Freshmen Initiation 27—Baker-Union, here - Football Dance in Evening OCTOBER: 4—Mac Hi-Union, there - Football 11— Play Contest Elgin-Union, there - Football 17— Home Economics Initiation 18— Enterprise-Union, here - Football 25— Halfway-Union, here - Football NOVEMBER: 2—Wallowa-Union, there - Football 11—Adrian-Union, here - Football 14— Junior Class Play 19— Liquid Air Wonders National School Assembly 21— Yippy!

Trull Ray Connor William Meidinger In the fall of 1940 a group of ambitious students gathered together in the stately halls of learning at dear old Union High to proceed through this final year of high school. The class was made up of approximately twenty students —a small but mighty group. Despite their handicap of having so few members, they were full of pep and new ideas for rounding out their twelve years of education, crowning their efforts with a last but not least successful year. The first undertaking of the class was to sponsor the show “Tom Brown’s School Days” at the Roxy Theatre. It was an educational picture and a great percentage of high school and grade school students attended, packing the theatre and making the undertaking a huge success. The class also volunteered to put on a student body party, held in the gym during an afternoon. It was a dancing party and the upper-classmen attempted to help the lower-c’assmen learn to dance and feel at ease. At intervals during the dances novelty numbers were presented by the several classes for entertainment. In March the Seniors whole-heartedly went to work on their class play “Second Fiddle”. They sponsored a poster contest in which some original novelty posters were entered and put on the most successful campaign of the year. The p ay was a success, each member of the cast giving an excellent performance. This year’s graduating class also added to its dramatic honors second place in the annual one-act play contest, with the presentation of “The Tarnished Witherspoons”. Elizabeth Kibby as Grandma, and Ray Connor as Grandpa, were selected as the outstanding actress and actor for the Seniors. Marian Westenskow was elected as the outstanding Senior girl by her classmates and the faculty, and was the entree in the Daughter-of-the-American-Revolution Citizenship contest. Athletic honors were given to Richard Baum as the valuable basketball player. He was placed as forward on the Eastern Oregon “All Star” team chosen at the tournament in John Day. Richard has also done excellent work in F. F. A. and was awarded the Union Pacific scholarship to Oregon State College. Three members of the debate team sent to Eugene to compete in the State Debate Tournament were Marian Westenskow, Ray Connor, and Norman Wicks. The class of ’41 has upheld its salesmanship ability by selling more football and basketball season tickets than any other class. 1941 s kJenior In the field of literature, Marian MaePherson’s poem “My Playmates” was accepted for publication in the “Anthology Northwest Poetry” by high school students. She also won first p!ace in the Christmas essay contest sponsored by the U-Hi. The class has managed the publication of the U-High each week in the local newspaper.

Elizabeth Kibby In the pep assembly contest, the Seniors won second place on their “grand old opry” in bur’esque form composed entirely by themselves, which was a take-off on the high school faculty. Isabel Greenwood’s ability to play basketball won her an undisputed position on the Girl’s All Star team for the fourth consecutive year. To round out their eventful year the seniors presented as their gift to the school, furniture for the stage which included a love seat, two occasional chairs, an end table, and a hassock. After such a successful and complete year, it was no more than fitting that the Seniors have a vacation. They treked to Boise for a day of fun and frolic, and for the day forgo ttheir responsibilties of senior life. It is with regrets that the seniors close the pages of their last memorable year in Union High School. The Bobcat Class P As the time again rolls around to the p’ace where the honorable seniors leave us, we often wonder just what will happen to them. Let us attempt to look into the future and solve this problem. As we sink into the trance we faintly hear a lecture. Could it be?—It is! The charming Home Ec. teacher, Miss Marian Westenskow. As we go deeper we hear music of the type general’y found in night clubs. Do our eyes deceive us? Maybe and maybe not, but anyway, we hear the clear bird-like voice of Phyllis Harris. I think we had better get into something tamer. Let’s attend an opera for a change. As we take our seats, who do we see but the famous Elizabeth Kibby on the stage singing with all her heart and soul. As we come into the fresh air we might like to moisten our dry throats at the drug store counter. Do you see what I see, or is that Norman Wicks’ twin brother behind the counter mixing liniments. Having nothing else to do we might go shopping. Who is that we see in a famous New York Dress Shop? Ah! Yes! It is our friend and school mate modeling those exquisite gowns—Lorena Cross. Who is that we see coming down the street surrounded by girls? Ladies and gentlemen, we see Sherman (Romeo) Hawkins. What’s wrong now? Here comes a ploiceman and he looks mad! Well, we recognize our old school mate Marion Stilzel, but it docs no good. The next thing we know we are standing before the judge—Could it be? It is! Ray Connor; this does no good either. What an afternoon! We need some relaxation, so we go to the library, where we see Marie Wells getting her daily exercise replacing books on shelves. As we are about to leave the city, we see a cute little bungalow and stop for a drink of water. Well, well! Hello, Vivian Draper. Married and nicely settled. My! What a stock of hardware she has. We continue out into the country. We look out over the fields and we see David Thomas out following a plow around the fields. As we go on we come to a farm house. Do you hear what I hear, or is that Richard Baum’s voice calling those hogs again? My! My! The country has quite a lure. There’s our charming milk maid, Eileen Hall. There’s the little country school. See the teacher out playing ring around the roses? Why, that’s Charlene Hutchinson. Will the surprises never end? Ah! An athletic field, and what’s this! Isabel Greenwood, explaining the technique of a new game. Here we come to the woodlands and find Audrey Gray, pining away her life in the pines. Our trance is slipping, things are getting dimmer. We seem to rise into the air and there we see Marian Mac flying her new cub pleasure plane.

They began their year of activity by winning first place in the Inter-Class Play Contest with the ccmr iy, “Th? Red Lamp”. The Junior’s three act play was entitled ‘‘Spring Fever”. The chemistry student with his exp’osives,. more powerful than T. N. T., the artist with his model, which turned out to be the father of a zoology student’s girl friend, and many other things including a deathbed scene and some love scenes made this play a most interesting comedy. Another important event of the year was the Junior Carnival gven the Seventh of March. This was a very gay affair. The gym was beautifully decorated with attractive booths; a gypsy fortune teller, a floor crier and ta’ented tap dancers all added their part to the evening. They were also very proud of their athletic standing. Bill Gale, Ted (Buz-zy) Parrish, and Jack Ingram were all outstanding footba’l players from the Junior Class. Wayne Kornegay and Buzzy Parrish also did their part in keeping up Union’s score in basketball. Both the Junior girls and Junior boys won the Inter-Class basketball tournament. They gave three skits during the year. One was given during football season, in which they portrayed different members of the faculty. For the basketball pep contest their skit was a fake debate which was both interesting and extremely comical. Both of these skits led to Union’s victory in the ball games. Each class was asked to furnish a portion of the entertainment for the student body party given in the gym by the Senior Class. The Juniors gave a skit acting out “Alexander’s Rag Time Band”. Boys were dressed as girls and girls as boys. It was very amusing and was judged the best given. Besides these things the Juniors have published the U-Hi, sold candy and gum, and took an active part in debate. Charleyne Roberts had a lead in the operetta and was the “Belle” of the evening. Many other members of the Junior Class had important parts in activities during the year such as the band debate, and the annual. - 19 - 19 4 1 loniore ass 1940-’41 First row: Mr. J.

A committee matched Freshman and Sophomore names, and each told the individual freshman how to dress. The Sophomore Class also had a number of boys who turned out for sports. Some of the boys were Robert Terrall. Albert Harris. Don Chenault, Marion Thomas, Eddie Noor.er, Robert Votendahl, and Lloyd Briggs. At the beginning of the year the Inter-Class Play Contest was held and the plays that were given by each class were very good. The name of the Sophomore play was “Elmer”. The class had some students who turned out for the debating team that took part at our school and at other distant schools. Those who turned out were Alice English, Edith Turner, La Faye Cline, Fred Raymond, and Vivian Gray. Another outstanding person was A bert Harris, who was named the outstanding football player of the season. He played every minute of every game, a very unusual achievement.

Irvin Wall Marie Ledbetter Freshman Class History At the beginning of the year every freshman student was especially excited. They were not only beginning their first year of high school, but there were many new students to meet. The Pondosa and Ladd Canyon students were new to the Union students, so for the first week it was an interesting study to look around the room at all the new people. Wher. the Inter-Class Play Contest was begun, the Freshmen entered into it wholeheartedy. The play, “First Love’’ was selected and practiced very earnestly. Miss M. Ledbetter and Mr. I. Wall, their advisers, who helped direct the play wracked their brains for good ideas. Much to their disappointment, they came in fourth place in the contest. Everyone said they had fun working on it, though. The other classes might be able to beat the Freshmen with their plays, but what about the tickets that were sold? We sold the most tickets, and Irene Watts sold more than anyone in the school. We are especially proud of her. Our class put out some excellent debaters, who will no doubt be very good in their Senior year. The Freshman came in second in inter-class debate. Hulda Cosner helped win the district debate. She was chosen as alternate to go to Eugene for the State Debate Tournament, but was unable to go. Several freshman girls, Ann Stein, Francis Foote and Marilyn Scroggin were in the chorus of the operetta “Gypsy Rover”. Other students in the class worked very hard in Glee Club. The Legion Oratory Contest and Christmas Essay Contest were both fully supported by the Freshmen. Hulda Cosner received second in the Legion Oratory Contest and honorable mention in the Christmas Essay Contest sponsored by the U-Hi. Those receiving sports honors were O’Neil Eddy, Gene Wells, Dick Greenwood, Glen Votendahl. Bill Crooke, and Dean Wells in Football and Beth Hall on the Girls All-Star Basketball Team. - 21 - 1941 The Bobcat % 15 anc First row: Mr. D. Covey, Withycombe, Sands, Draper, Harris, Bingham.

Bates, Pike, J. Bateman, White, Ycur Bobcat Band began the 1940-'41 season with an enro lment of twenty-s.x, but it was soon increased to forty-six. There were approximately fifty members in the beginners' band. During the summer Mr. and Mrs. Covey purchased a bass clarinet, baritone saxophone and a flute with the money allotted by the school district. The band paraded for all home football and baseball games, p'ayed for “pep” assemblies and performed field maneuvers during the half time period of all home football games. A first division rating won in the Sectional Contest in 1940 entitled them to a trip to Spokane where they won a second division or excellent rating. December 6 the band presented a joint concert with the Glee Club to raise money for uniforms and music. This was the earliest date in the year a public concert had ever been given in the history of the band. January 31, the second annual “Gym-Jam” was held to raise money to buy uniforms and caps for the r.ew members in the advanced band. Two mareuvers were performed between the halves of both games. They also accompanied the basketball team to Elgin and North Powder. The band and various other band ensembles have made over seventy public appearances this year. They are planning to again play for Stock Show. The Sectional Contest was held in La Grande, April 25. This year three Seniors were lost by graduation. This was quite a contrast with last year when twelve were graduated. - 23 - 19 4-1 The personnel of the band was: CLARINETS Lucille Hutchinson Eunice Meldrum Betty Counsell Barbara Galle Donna Lou Bingham Nadine Tucker Julia Halsey Muriel Cline Norma Mathews Betty Kinsey CORNETS David Johansen Bill Schuck Carolyn Withycombe John Wortman Ronnie Sands Le Roy Draper Donald English Darman Jones HORNS Charlene Roberts Jacqueline Roberts Vivian Gray Donna Marie Van Housen Donna Bateman FLUTES Mary Lindsay La Faye Cline OBOE Marian Westenskow BASS CLARINET Bobby Baum SAXOPHONES Leora Nice The’ma Mills Letha Mills Beverly Gipson Bob Dodds TROMBONES Bob Pike Earnest Bates Jerry Bell Byron Ruddell Bob Lerwell BARITONES Eleanor Richards Ehrman Bates BASSES Jerry Bateman Allan White PERCUSSION Frank Orton Marvin Giikison Norman Wicks Phyllis Harris DRUM MAJORETTES Eleanor Richards Barbara Galle Betty Counsell DIRECTORS Mr. Don Covey Mrs. Don Covey The Bobcat First row: Mr. I.

The G ee Club had an active and successful year with the year centering rrcur.d three local public appearances and the music contest in La Grande on April 26. The first local appearance was a concert held on Dec. 6 in conjunction with the band in which three numbers were sung by the entire Glee Club. They were “Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes” by Ben Jonson, “Song of Rest” by J. S. Bach and “The Children’s Prayer” by Humperdinck. The next appearance was the annual Operetta wh'ch was presented on February 13, with the cooperation of the Dramatics club. Not all of the members of the Glee Club could participate in the Operetta because of inadequate stage room, but all members cooperated in other jobs to make the production a success. The third appearance that the Glee Club made was on the commencement program where they did their bit for “the Class of forty-one”. At the contest seven numbers were entered altogather, including for the mixed glee club, “The Children’s Prayer” by Humperdinck, “The Shepherdess” by Mac Murrough, “My Lovely Celia” by Luvaas-Munro. The Girls Glee Club sang “Soft Winds Coming From the Sea” by Zamencnick and “Come Where My Love Lies Dreamirg” by Foster. The boys entered alone as a small group and sang “The Hiking Song” by Krone, and “Down by the Sea” by Penn. It is the ambition of the instructor Mr. Wall to have a robed a cappella choir take the place of the mixed glee club within a few years. We wish him luck in this undertaking, and we are sure he will accomplish this in a short time. peretta First row: B. Baum, Stonedahl, Votendahl, Kibby, R. Baum, Roberts, Counsel!, Thomas, Wortman.

Rob grows to manhood among the gypsies believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. It happens one day while riding with her fiancee, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Martendale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven objects to Rob’s attitude, but in a very funny comedy scene with Marto and Sinfo, he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in search of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. In act two Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her. They plan to elope but are overheard by Craven who informs Sir George, and plans are made to capture Rob. This is successfully accomplished and Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob comes into his estate. His identity has been proven by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob and on his return to England he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, “The good fairies have led me to a beautiful country after all, and our story, Constance, can end the proper way. They lived happily ever after. There were also pretty love affairs between Nina and Captain Jerome, and Zara and Sinfo, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo and Marto.

The number of students taking Dramatics goes to show how much they are actually interested in learning to act well on the stage, to learn stage make-up, to speak distinctly, and to acquire poise in appearing before the public. This kind of an activitiy helps you in later life, as it gives you confidence, makes you independent of others and teaches you manner, self reliance and responsibility, that you will need. On Hallowe’en the club made its first public presentation at the P. T. A. “Hi Jinks”, by presenting the play “Putting On The Dog.” Our next appearance was the Thanksgiving Program, given before the high school assembly. Great was the surprise of our audience, for as the curtain opened the boys were taking the parts of girls, and the girls parts of boys. At Christmas the dramatics club presented an original Christmas Pageant with every member of the club taking part in this performance. The theme was a comparison with the American people’s Christmas with that in Foreign countries during this war. The glee club sang Christmas Carols to fit the pageant which was very effective. The next project of the club was to present several one-act plays before the dramatics class in order to gain points toward becoming a Thespian. As a whole the plays were very good. During the operetta practices some of the members of the Dramatics were excused for operetta rehearsals, and the rest of the club learned the art of stage make-up and a team was chosen to apply the make-up to the operetta cast. In March of 1941, the dramatics club practiced several one-act plays. One of these plays was a Chinese play which was presented at the Methodist Ladies’ Aid Chinese Tea. From this group of plays, one play was selected and presented on April 17 with the one-act plays from Cove and Imbler. The Bobcat . 28 - lCS|)lc ian First row: Mrs. F. Trull, Wicks, G.

Eileen Hall Bob Pike Wilburn Aston The Thespian Club of Union High School is now two years old. This new club is a non-secret honorary organization whose aim is, “To create a spirit of active and intelligent interest in Dramatics among boys and girls of our secondary schools”. The club met the fourth Monday of every month. After each meeting, an educational and interesting program was given and refreshments served. Some of the programs included reading of plays, study of Shakespearean plays, acting technique, one-act play writing, and make-up. Mr. and Mrs. Ayres, who are professionals, met with the club in October. Mrs. Avres gave a demonstration explaining the art of applying stage make-up, and Mr. Ayres advised them as to the most effective lighting of the stage. The Thespian Club set as its goal the en’arging and remodeling of the stage. They now have two new spot-lights and have rearranged the lighting of the stage. At the end of every year an award is given to the best actor and actress of the year. Every individual who took part in a play during the year was judged - 29 • as to his acting ability. Dorothy English and Carl Schlichtig were chosen in the school year of 1939-’40. A similar award will be given this year. Three important events of the year were sponsored by the Thespian club. One was the Inter-class one-act play contest, given in November won by the Junior class who received the Thespian trophy. In January all parents and patrons and patronesses were guests to our meeting. A regular business meeting was held. New members were initiated into the local and national Thespian. Those initiated into the national were. George Thomas, Elwood Stone-dahl, Alice English. Nancy Cosner, Audrey Gray, Vivian Gray, Georgene Harn, and Georgia McMillan. Those initiated into the local club were Vivian Draper, Elizabeth Kibby, Ray Connor, Barbara Galle, Marian MacPherson, and Charleyne Roberts. April the seventeenth the Spring Festival was given at which time Cove, Imbler and Union High School presented one-act plays here at Union. Immediately following the plays an informal reception was given in honor of the play casts and directors of the three schools by the Thespian club. Prominent people of the town, faculty and officers of various organizations were invitee} to the reception. ome LrfConomics iii First row: Miss M. Ledbetter, Hutchinson, Harris. V. Gray, Meldrum, L.

Ledbetter Again this year the Home Economics Club has been one of the leadirg clubs in our high school. They had a membership of forty-five girls, all of whom took an active part in the meetings. Their meetings were very interesting and a committee planned an appropriate program for each meeting. At some of the.r meetings they had guest speakers who gave their viewpoints on he’pful problems. Amon« the activities were the formal initiation and installation ceremcni?s. They invited their mothers and some friends to these effective candle light ceremonies. They prepared and served the F. F. A. Banquet and the School Master’s Banquet. At Christmas time they had a “Little K.d” party. The fourth annual Mother and Daughter Valent ne Party, which is considered the nicest affair of the year, was given on February 10. and was again a great success. The auditorium was beaut.fully decorated wi h a Va ent.ne Motif. Candles were placed on the tables where the guests were seated throughout the evening. The girls wore formals, and the receiving line consisting of some of the officers and their mothers. Miss Ledbetter greeted the guests before they were taken to their tables. The program included a fashioi review showing contrasts between o d and new styles. A skit, “Keepsakes”, where the old-fashioned appeared in costume, and some musical numbers completed the program. They entertained one hundred people. They earned money by selling beanies, giving the School Masters’ Banquet, a candy sale, selling lunches at noon, and special committee money-making schemes. oine conomics ill) On March 22 a delegation went to the district Home Making Conference at La Grande where they learned new ways to make our club better. The Award Day Tea was held in May when the girls who earned the Betty Lamp Pins had (hem presented to them. They believe that this year was one of their best, and feel certain that every member was glad to be in the Home Economics Club.

On November 4th, we had a lovely initiation of the Freshman girls, by candlelight. After the program refreshments were served. At Christmas time, toys were exchanged among the girls. After the party the toys were donated to needy children. Several girls attended a conference in Tmbler, where they exchanged ideas on Girls’ League activities. Those who attended were: Carolyn Withycombe, Eleanor Richards, Barbara Galle, and their adivser, Miss C. Nickachiou. A cafeteria lunch was served by the Girls’ League on February 28.

This super-colossal comedy entitled “Second Fiddle” takes place in Aunt Marion Baker’s winter home on the west coast of Florida. Harold Werple, engaged to Dorothy Van Straaten, comes to see an old school chum Janet and confesses his nervousness of the coming wedding. They decide to rehearse it for him with Joan as the bride and Wilbur, the butler, officiating. Complications arise when they discover that Wilbur, being a notary public, can, in Florida, perform a legal marriage. To make matters worse Janet telegraphs for Joan’s mother who is thri led to death about her daughter s marriage. In order to prevent Harold from escaping, Minnie doped his coffee, hid his clothes in the oven and placed Wilbur wi h his shot gun on guard at the bedroom door. When confronted by Dorothy, Harold tells her Joan is his sick sisler and it necessary that he remain with her.

The play selected by a committee of three was “Spring Fever”, a farce by Glen Hughes. The setting was Mrs. Spangler’s boarding house which is more frenzied than usual on the day before commencement at tiie University. Spring fever is bad enough any time but when it hits a college town it’s devastating. Ed Burns, a chemistry student, has turned his room into a laboratory where he experiments with a substitute for dynamite. Vic Lewis, an art student, sets up his dias and easel in the livirg room. Howard Brant, a senior, types franctically at a zoology term paper on “slugs”. He will be graduated the next day providing he completes this term paper.

There are also Anne’s parents, Mrs. Puree 1. and Mr. Purcell. Howard’s Aunt Maude, Professor Bean, of the zoology department, and Dr. Dixon, the “prexy” to enliven the day. And to say it is a lively day would be putting it mildly. Vic and Ed mistake Mr. Purcell, Ann’s millionaire father for an artist’s model Vic is ex ectirg. The rest of the day is spent squaring things with Mr. Puree 1, getting Howard graduated, keeping square with their girls who play a big part in calming Mr. Purc2lJ, and keeping out of Mrs. Spangler’s way. The play was very well received and the class enjoyed producing it under the supervision of Mrs. Fern C. Trull, Lucille Keys, student director, and Freida Posey, prompter.

Only four lettermen were present when the 1940-’41 football season opened. These were Bill Gale, Albert Harris, Jack Ingram, and Richard Baum. In the first game the in-experience was largely to blame for the 39 to 6 defeat at the hands of the powerful LaGrande Tigers. As the season progressed, the team improved with every game and when the season ended had won from Joseph 21 to 0, from Wallowa 6 to 0, from Halfway 7 to 6, and tied Enterprise 6 to 6. The games lost, besides the La Grar.de game were: Baker 78 to 0. Milton-Free-water 24 to 0, Elgin 21 to 13 and Adrian 6 to 0. Three Seniors, Richard Baum, Marion Stitzel and Sherman Hawkins, and three others. Bob Votendahl, Ted Parrish, and Jack Ingram will be lost from the next squad.

Last year, 1939-’40. the Union High School track team consisted of only four men. One of these four was “Choc” Shelton, who threw the shot and javelin. “Choc” earned a second place in the javelin throwing and went to the state meet. Other members of the Union team were Bill Gale, sprinter, 100 yard and 220 yard dashes, Dallas Hall, 220 yard man, and Norman Wicks, miler. Coach “Pop” Gleason seemed proud of his team. Even though it was small it made a record in the Eastern Oregon track meet. This year 1940-1941 Coach Ed Endicott has a large track team working and with two returning lettermen, Bill Gale and Dallas Hall, his team has the earmarks of a good strong team. The boys that are out are Bill Gale, sprints; Dallas Hall, sprints, jumping; Jerry Bateman, half miler; Bill Crooke, Earnest Bates, Harold Hall, mile; Bob Scarbrough, dashes; Buck Eddy, weights; Don Chenault,, weights; Albert Harris, dashes; Richard Baum, javelin. The Bobcat - A6 - jjFront row: Mr. M. Boring. McCrae, Harris, Harson, Murray, R. Baum. Briggs, Parker, Greenwood, Dean, Holaday. Do not appear in picture: Hoyt, Gipson, Nooner, Lay, Terrall. With only one returning letterman baseball prospects at Union were not very bright. However, the boys performed as well as could be asked from a group of inexperienced players. They learned baseball and next year, with this year of building behind them, they should be hard to stop. 1941 (Jirls Athletics First row: Miss M. Ledbetter, Ham, Posey, Greenwood. Hall. Second row: Turner, Trump, Cline, O’Neil. The Girls’ Physical Education classes have taken up many sports this year. At the beginning of the year they played kickpin baseball. As soon as the bad weather compelled them to go into the gym, they played volleyball. Around Christmas time they started basketball. They had an inter-class basketball tournament. The Juniors were the winners of the tournament. Eight a’l-stars were picked by the girls of the P. E. classes. The girls picked were the outstanding basketball players in this year’s P. E. classes: Ila Mae O’Neil, Catherine Trump, Georgene Harn, Freida Posey, Beth Hall, Isabel Greenwood, Rosemary Turner, and La Faye Cline. After basketball they had tumbling stunts, ping pong, shuffleboard, deck tennis, and when the weather allowed they played softball. The girls receive a certain number of points for each of these games. They may earn additional points by horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling, as well as by skating, swimming, and skiing. The Bobcat - 48 - liit T-( lass DasLctluill 1940-’41 Some of the c’asses were handicapped because of small numbers of boys who participated and too many of the boys were out for varsity basketball, accounting for this fact there was very close competition.
