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

Baxter, Jr. The first class activity was “Rook Day” on Tuesday, September the twenty-fourth, and a jolly time was had by every one. 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. Th Sophomores also won the inter-class track meet, held March twenty-eighth on the athletic field. at - 20 -
