senior SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Vice President Marian Westenskow Marion Stitzel Secretary Treasurer Advisers Elizabeth Kibby Fern C. 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
