SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It is now the year of nineteen hundred and forty-five, that good old C-Hi class of ’4.'5 lias just begun to adjust itself to the ways of the outside world. It would undoubtedly be very interesting to look in on these varied scenes so hold on to your hat!!!! First in our travels, we come to Pensacola, Florida, where those three wolves of the air. Hob Baum. Don Chenault, and Robert Terrall have just completed their training in the navy and are now ensigns in the Naval Air Corps. While nearby, in the navy hospital, we find navy nurse Nadine Tucker talking to that irresistable debutant of the navy, Genevieve Roberts. Next we come to one of the widely scattered army camps, situated throughout our country, where we find George Thomas laboring tiredly on an army jeep, helped a great deal by the valuable experience gained at the Oregon Trail garage. Marching nearby' we find that rogue of the army, Loyd Briggs, better known as “Yard Bird”. Buzzing over our head in ever smaller circles and growing ever greener about the gills, we find Dallas Hall, A. A. C. Traveling onward we come to the office buildings and general headquarters of this great camp where we find that master-mind of pen and typewriter. Private First Class John Wortman, who is acting as private secretary to the commanding officer. Next we come to the Pacific Coast where we find Richard Chester Wells, who is working as a welder in the shipyard of Henry Kaiser. Swinging back to the business section of Portland we are surprised to find La Faye Cline, Muriel Cline, and Edith Turner, who are secretary's in the publishing department of the Oregonian, having obtained their positions by the timely recommendation of Mrs. Payne. Now turning back toward the old Alma Mater we pass through The Dalles where we find Aliene Mallory, who is a secretary in the Northwest Fruit Growers Association. Then we come to the city of Hermiston where Barbara Wicks and Lois McKinney are jointly operating a beauty-parlor. Coming on over the mountains we go through La Grande where we find Elmer Edvalson and LI wood Stonedahl (farmers) who are conducting a meeting to see how to increase the food production of the Grande Rontle Valley’. Now on the home stretch we meet Letha Mills, who invites us all to a free show at the Roxy Theatre, which she is now managing. Coming out of the show house we are nearly run down by that big business executive. Julia Halsey, who is now running her father’s creamery. Going on over the finish line we find Rosamae Greenwood, who is chief cook and bottle washer at Shank’s Cafe and we are revived by a drink of a new brew which she has just patented.

The first day of school, everyone sporting some new clothes, a new hair cut, perhaps something else has been added. All determined to make this year a record. And so we were Juniors. Yes! Those progressive ones. The activities began stacking up. Following tradition our class again carries the burdens. First Bettie Jean ing actress off the Junior one-act play. Angel Face —starring our lovely actress— Metcalf. Doing such commendable work, that she was chosen outstand-of the evening. The Seniors must 1m fed—SOooooo we raised money for the banquet through the selling of Christmas Card sales which proved very successful. Donna Bateman handled these sales very capably. Another certain group was working very hard on the Junior three-act play. Ever Since Eve , which made the students in school realize that our class possessed real talent. Donna Bateman as a boy, Hulda Cosner as the practical girl friend, and Ann Stein as the southern belle were outstanding performers. And of course although they aren’t so important, we gave several skits during the year, pep skits and also a talent skit for the increase of bond and stamp sales. In athletics, the Juniors played an important part: Norman Gipson and Dick Greenwood being on the Eastern Oregon Championship Team. In the interclass track meet, the Juniors were second. Finally those most important moments of the year. Junior-Senior Banquet! ! As usual enjoyed by the Seniors, breathless for the Juniors. We also decorated for Baccalaureate and Graduation exercises. Despite the handicaps suffered during the year we feel that we came out on top and have gained a lot of good experience.
