Through Fall, Winter, and Spring; through Winter’s snow and Spring’s muddy roads, our bus drivers are always dependable. These men also were responsible for transporting our athletic teams, class picnics and other activities. The Board of Directors has selected s fine group of men for this job. ' U @tu(odicut4. MR. ALBERT GEORGE a MR. WILLIAM PHILLIPS MR. ESTEL POSEY MR. ORVILLE ROBERTS MR. DAVE BARR MR.

Although lie has been our superintendent by little more than a year, we have learned these things about him: He is firm in discipline, but he can always be depended upon to deal fairly with everyone. He is a good sport; we see him in the middle of the crowd at the ball games, dances, picnics and all other student body activities. He is progressive: he was instrumental in getting the renovation of our gymnasium under way, our home basketball games broadcast, school bus service for spectator-students to our away-from-homc games, needed school equipment, long range planning of consolidation, Union tri-county track meet, and many other forward looking movements. In short, we have found him to be a great guy and a competent administrator. His ability to manage and discipline our students is evident. He has proven himself to be a great morale builder. Union high school has finished one of the most successful years in its history. We owe much of this to Mr. Hopkins. We’ll be looking forward to working with him in the fall. SocvicL “DOiecfort The Union Public Schools have been fortunate this year in having three men who are fully aware of the responsibilities of the schools of Union. We students realize some of the responsibilities of our directors. The employment of teachers, purchasing of equipment, the many decisions that are forced on them that will automatically bring them criticisms. We are aware of this. However, our Board is equal to the task. Our Board is directly interested in every student. We, the students of the Union High School, wish to extend our most wholehearted thanks for an outstanding progressive Board of Directors given to us by the School District. ‘Saaid d “Dinectoto MR.

Student (ZouucM The Student Council of Union High School is composed of the student body officers and the president of each class. As a high school is considered a democracy it is the duty of the students to govern themselves. The student council which is the choice of the many and not of the few is the governing body of these students. The student council makes or changes our laws; it decides all important money matters that come before the student body; and supervises all student body activities with the advice of faculty advisers. The duties of the president are varied, but his most important acts are to present facts and ideas to the council and the student body and preside over their meetings. In the absence of the president the via: president takes over the duties of the president; otherwise he acts as a voting member of council. The secretary keeps all minutes of the meetings and handles all student body correspondence. . The treasurer takes care of the books, all money matters and signs student body checks. The yell Queen is elected by the students to take charge ot all pep assemblies and lead our cheering section at all athletic contests. The song queen acts as an assistant to the yell queen and takes over her duties in her absence. The presidents of the four classes are in the council to present their classes’ views on any issue and to vote as their class desires. It is also the duty of the Council to present activities to the student body for the purpose of providing money to carry on the activities of the students. Our advisors this year have been Mr. Albert Hopkins and Mr. Ver-sel McCauley.

Out of the original forty-one, thirteen boys and girls have stayed through the years to welcome the new one and bid the old ones goodbye. They are: Donna Jean Crosland, Donna Lu Bingham, Walter McBride, Dorothy Godsey, Nelda Vogel, Dennis Greenwood, Margarete Mills, Joan Galle, Cecil Smith, Dale Beverage, Arlen Chenault, Beatrice Nice, and Carmen Gambill. In the fourth grade a tall brunette from Wallowa, Eileen Shepherd, joined us. Our fourth year also brought a little, round-faced boy from Parma, Idaho. Ben Dodds. Three more girls, Pat Kinsey, Leora Nice, and Barbara Barker, joined our fourth grade class with bright shining faces. Two years later a curly-headed brunette, Beverly Gipson, and the shy little girl who later became famous for her many excuses, Eloise Halsey joined us. One year later wc were pleased with the arrival of two boys, Bob McElvain and Avery Glenn. Our last year of grade school brought a boy and girl, Charlie Payne and Mary Stitzel. The receiving of our diplomas from superintendent Win. Meidinger ended our first eight years of school. The following year, amid shrieks of laughter, forty-four rooks were gaily marched up town. Thus began our four years of high school. Only two of the original newcomers of our Freshman class have stayed to graduate—Ruby Parker Robertson and Dan Harris. We were joined in our final year of school by Vern DuMars from La Grande. Our Senior year was our most exciting and busiest year. We decided on the gardenia as our class flower, blue and white for our colors, and our motto is: “Tonight zve launch, where shall we anchor?” As graduation rolled around, the air was tense with excitement. After twelve long years we were finally going to be free to build our own lives. Donna Lu Bingham was our valedictorian, and Dorothy Godsey and Dennis Greenwood our salutatorians. We will never forget old Union Hi, and the happy days that were spent in her halls and class rooms.

Senior PiaftAecy Ten years have swiftly flown past and the Class c,f 1947 has long lost contact with each other. So in the year of our Lord, 1957, Eloise Halsey, still living in Union, and running Donna’s Beauty Parlor, decides to see what the fate of her classmates has been. Making an appointment with a crystal gazer in La Grande, she trots off to find out the worst. As she walks into I)r. Mystic's private office she is disturbed by his resemblance of someone she used to know. It couldn’t be, but yes it is, Dennis Greenwood, draped in turban and robe, and gazing intently into the crystal ball. Without looking up, he tells her to sit down, and together they will look up the remaining twenty-five classmates. They both look into the crystal as it whirls round and round, and finally a vision appears. It seems to be Reno, Nevada, and a big gambling house is in view Out walks a short, dark-haired woman, elegantly dressed. They look once, then again, and to their amazement they find it is Pat Kinsey, now Mrs. MacPherson. Part owner and manager of “The Silver Dollar.” The vision ventures into the gambling house and to Dr. Mystic, the bartender looks mighty familiar. Well, Dan Harris, long time no see! The scene changes abruptly and we seem to be traveling quite aways. Finally it clears and—well what do you know—if it isn’t Barbara Barker, and living in Cove. My, what becoming children you have. Before she can say anything the vision changes again. It seems to be a train we are following. Well, i f it isn’t Ben Dodds and Cecil Smith. They have their own private berth, the rods. My how carefree they look. Here we go again, off to another vision. It seems to be a farm in North Dakota. But all we can see is five little blond girls playing in the yard. But wait a minute, here comes a man from the barn. Guess who? Lee McElvain, milking cows. Will surprises never end? Off we go again to New York. It seems to be the city commissioner’s office. The door opens, and there behind the desk sits,—Oh no! Carmen Gambill. It couldn’t lie. She seems to be bawling out a little man. On his uniform is written ‘Street Cleaner’. He turns around, and, oh catch me, it’s Walter McBride, the best broom man on Wall Street. The vision fades but returns quickly. We are now in a circus. We hear a familiar voice calling to people to buy tickets for the Big Top. The surprise is all ours. It’s Beverly Gipson, screaming at the top of her lungs, and attracting lots of attention as usual. The next vision is in Hollywood. The Oscars for the best actresses and actors are being presented. They call them up on the stage. We gasp in amazement! It’s Eileen Shepherd and Arlen Chenault. They smile as they receive their Oscars. Though ten years have elapsed, the next vision shows Nelda and Dorothy still in college. They look a little older than the other students, but we know they are trying hard. Swiftly we are off to another classmate. Golly, we seem to lie in Africa. There is a great commotion in the bushes, and as we stare, out jump two men. Heavens! It’s Vern Dumars and Avery Glenn. It seems they are chasing rare species of butterflies. Before we know it we are in Chicago. A big peracle is in progress, and ticker tape is falling. The huge military band comes booming down the street. Could it lx; Donna Lu Bingham directing them? I believe it is. Suddenly we are in Portland. The scene is Jantzen Beach. Small articles begin flying from the manager's office. Out storms Margarete Mills, owner of Jantzen Beach, airing her temper as usual. The roller coaster takes our eye and the man running it looks familiar. Could it bo Dale Beverage? By gosh, it is! The next vision is in a small town. All the cars have “Hall’s Construction Company” written on them. Well, there’s Beatrice Fisher in that trailer house. Doesn’t that look cozy? Golly, before we know' it w e are in the Nevada desert. A small hot dog stand is in view. It sure looks lonely out there by itself. Well, I believe it’s Leora Nice, now Mrs.’ Maronie and her husband running it. Gosh, they look thirsty! Then we are in Washington, D. C. A big election for President is on. Well, for heavens sake! It’s Charlie Payne running for President. And is that Donna Crosland taking dictation? What do you know, we are in Union again. The scene is a small house. Out walks Mary Stitzel, now Mrs. Dodds. She has really changed. Dear me, we are in San Francisco. It seems to be a Navy yard we are in. Out of a little house comes a young woman carrying a little boy in a sailor suit, and singing Bell Bottom Trousers.” You guessed it—it’s Ruby Robertson. There is just one classmate left. It seems we are in New York again, in an exclusive dress shop. The models are putting on a style show, and well, it’s Joan Galle, modeling that bathing suit. The crystal goes blank and we have learned the worst. ✓ « SENIORSCOPE NAME NICKNAME IDENTIFICATION FAVORITE EXPRESSION PASTIME AMBITION FLORENCE KINSEY “Pat” “Jed” “And. ah.” Republic office Finding a house BARBARA BARKER “Bobby” “Gum” “Oh. dear” Teasing Annabelle Finding a man DAN HARRIS “Danny” “Height” “Yah” Going to High Valley Photographer DENNIS GREENWOOD “Den” “Books” “Oh. nuts” Day dreaming Get a job CECIL SMITH Cee” “Luckies” I don’t know” Sleeping Be a good bum BENJAMIN DODDS “Benny” “Chesterfields” “What a character” Shooting Be a beachcomber ROBERT McELVAIN “Bob” Lucy” “Yeh!” Hauling logs Shoveling coal CARMEN GAMBILL Carm” 4 The Laugh” “Ah, shad-up” Cracking jokes Traveling BEVERLY GIPSON Bev” “High Pompador” “Really 1 don’t” Talking Make the society page EILEEN SHEPHARD “Ike” “Clothes “Oh, golly” Working Get a rich man DOROTHY GODSEY “Dot” “Red Hair “I was in the oftice Hashing Be a doctor NELDA VOGEL “Nelly” “Bangs” “Don’t get your tail in knot” Getting out of work Going to college ELOISE HALSEY “Elly” “Her Walk” “Hurry up” Going to the doctor Beautician ARLEN CHENAULT “Arkie” “Blushing” “Why?” ?

It is sad because we will never be together again as a class. The program for such an occasion would not be complete without a welcome address to parents and other visitors who have followed our progress through twelve years of -school. It is my pleasure to welcome one and all. This is not only a welcome from me but from each and every graduate member of this class. We are glad that you are interested enough in us to attend this graduation exercise and we hope that you will not be disappointed in us now or in the years to come. Singly and collectively, we feel that you have had more than a passing interest in our welfare. You parents have followed and guided us from the cradle through the years of school life. Now you rejoice with us that we have reached this milestone. We are ready tonight to leave behind us the course that we have just completed. It will never be forgotten but will always be treasured by us as memories. We are ready to launch our ship knto a new phase of life. Today we reap the rewards of your interest and your efforts. This welcome would not be complete without a special greeting to our patient tdachers, not only those who are with us now but the ones who have taught us for the last twelve years. We hope that you can feel a measure of pride as we leave this school for other activities. We have not always shown appreciation- for what you have done for us but as years come and go I am sure we will always remember and bless you for the lessons you have taught us. We can only hope that in years to come you will be able to point to us with pride, that we wHl not bring disgrace to our school, our homes, our teachers, or our parents. Before a new ship is put into action it is launched with a ceremony. Graduation is likened unto the launching of a ship. A great deal of work has been done by many hands in order to get the ship ready for her mission. Many of the workmen who spent many weary weeks in preparing the ship for its launching have been forgotten. No recognition has been given them for their tfforts. The ship could never have been luunched without that work having been performed, yet the laborers are unknown. So it is with school graduation. The hard work has all been done in the quiet everyday life of school. The workmen have received their tasks uncomplainingly; they have done their work well in order that the ship might be made ready for her launching and her work on the great seas. Graduation cuts them loose from their moorings and sends them out on life’s great sea. Some will sail to various ports without meeting any serious difficulties while others will breast stormy waves. Some may even become broken on the rocks. This seems like rather a hard thing to say when young people are looking into the future with great hopes and anticipations. However, every ship that is launched into the sea faces an uncertain future and every graduate looking ahead faces uncertainty and difficulties. If the ship is well built and well manned she will weather the rough gales. If the graduate is well trained and fortified with character and determination he will survive the crashes that come. Graduates setting sail from school have been in the process of preparation for many years. Many expert workmen have been laboring over the moulding, hammering, polishing, welding, and so on. This long process of preparation has not been a “filler or mode”. It has been done according to definite plans and for the purpose of fitting young people to fill a successful and useful place in life. No ship is launched for the launching ceremony. No graduate exp,ects commencement to be the crowning of his efforts. The launching of the ship is a dedication of that ship to its duties that lie ahead. Graduation is launching young people out on that ship to duties ahead. Commencing work for which they are best fitted or which seems to need being done at the time. What are we graduates going to do when this commenctment is over? Some will be able to begin their preparaiion for special lines of work, preparing themselves better for work that lies ahead. Some will take up their duties in homes or other professions they have chosen. I believe that wherever the members of this class find themselves in the great sea of life they will perform like a good ship. Well-built from bow to stern. I believe that they will fare hardships and keep to the main course even after they have left the safety of convoy guards of home and school. 1 believe that, like Columbus sailing the unchartered Atlantic in search of better things for the world, this class membership will sail on and on and on. In closing my greetings I would, on behalf of the members of the class of 1947|, ask thait you will hold fast to the faith that you now have in us. Continue to stand with us as we leave the school and take up a new life. We are starting out as new sailors on an unknown mission. “Tonight We Launch, Where Shall We Anchor?” Will you bear with us still longer? 7 e 0?utu e ?d Stilt Oust Ocuk DOROTHY GODSEY, Co-Salutatorian It is a great privilege and honor to welcome our parents, our friends, and our teachers to the graduation exercises of the Class of 1947. The thought that is found in the following poem is a thought we all should consider on this night of commencement. ‘Tve shut the door on yesterday, Its sorrows and heartaches; I’ve locked within its gloomy walls Past failures and mistakes; And now, I throw the key away To seek another room, And furnish with it hopes and smiles And every springtime bloom No thought shall enter this abode That has a hint of pain; And any malice or distrust Shall never entrance gain; I've shut the door on yesterday, And thrown the key away— Tomorrow holds no fear for me Since I have found today.” Now that our school days are behind us, we look forward into the future that no one has yet conquered. We must remember that the unknown sea Columbus sailed yesterday is now the much traversed Atlantic ocean, and men look ahead for new seas to roam. Yesterday the western hemisphere was a wilderness little known to civilized man. Today men look ahead to new frontiers for new explorations. Yesterday the science of medicine and surgery was a closed door. Today human lives are saved by the new miracle developments in this field. In every field of endeavor which the past seems bo have bound in chains and locked away by worn out theories, there lie new opportunities for each of us. If we but lock the door of yesterday, and leave behind those things which make us doubtful, those things which rob us of the initiative and the hope of youth—then the future will be ours. Every student at this time in his life is haunted wifth the unsolved problem, What to do with the future? Our class comes to its graduation in a period of doubt and readjustment. But it is a period which will be recorded by future ages as one of the most important in history. It is this future in which we shall have a part. The world will work out its problems as the future becomes today, and goes trailing into the past. In closing we say thank you to all of our friends who have helped us through the mistakes and trials of yesterday. We ask your continued help and inspiration as we leave the past that is gone, and proceed to the future which is still our own. J s 9 Ji 9 Old e4fr HMi(UlUtf DENNIS GREENWOOD, Co-Salutatorian Lt is with great pleasure that I welcome each and everyone of you to our commencement exercises for the Class of 1947. We have come to the end of a goal we set twelve years ago. It is a goal we would not have reached without the help of a great many of you who are here tonight. First we would like to thank our parents for the help and guidance they have rendered to us during those twelve years. Twelve years ago they started us on the path which leads to success. We now have completed the first lap, of that path, and stand at the threshold of the second part of it. Second we would like to thank the many teachers, past and present, whose help and guidance molded our caracters, and prepared us for the next great step we are about to take. Last but not least we wish to thank- our many friends who gave us their support and co-operation when we needed it most. Now that we have completed our high school education, each and everyone of us has a great responsibility to fill in this world. In the very near future we will have the responsibility of filling positions that are held at the present by the first generation. We will be the ones responsible for the government and the affairs of our nation. On our shoulders will rest the responsibility and burden of carrying on our civilization tomorrow. The economic system which has led us thus far is now challenged as outworn. We are told it has become an obstacle in the path of national progress, a menace to the welfare of our rising generations. Here is a challenge to us; a challenge to find a better economic system. If there is a better economic system to be had it is our responsibility to find it. We will have the problem of solving world difficulties. Before we can live in peace and have “One World”, people must co-operate with one another. It is a job which must be done if the people of the world are to survive. Here is a little verse written by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the late President of the United States, and I quote: “To the American youth or all parties, I submit a message of confidence— unite and challenge! Rules are not necessarily sacred; principles are. Let us carry on the good that the past gave us. The best America is the spirit of inquiry, of readjustment, of improvement. It is for the new generation to participate in the decisions and to give strength and spirit and continuity to our Government and to our national life.” We may sincerely say that it is our responsibility as the graduating class of 1947 to see that the American way of life does not perish, but has everlasting life. Yes, we seniors have come to the crossroads. Many of us are ready now to accept a responsible position in the world. Others are going to college before they take their places. Wherever we may be we will always remember our high school days and the good times we had there. Before I close I wish to extend a hearty welcome to all of you again. I am sure each member of this class gives you their best wishes, too. Indeed we may say, “Tonight We Launch, Where Shall We Anchor?” UNION HIGH SCHOOL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM SUNDAY, MAY 11, 1947 Processional—“March of the Noble” Keats_____Mrs. Olga Smith Hymn by the Congregation—“Schools and Colleges” Invocation ____________________________Bishop Leo Anderson Church of Latter Day Saints Anthem—“Lead On, O King Eternal”--------Church Choir Scripture Reading_______________________________Versel McCauley Methodist Churcli Vocal Solo—“The Lord’s Prayer”---------Donna Lu Bingham Mrs. Clarice Kohler, Accompanist Address—“Tomorrow’s Builders”_____________Virgil A.

We accept them as an evidence of our work completed and as a symbol of tools for the task ahead. These tools are those forged by the flame of study in this high school of ours. They are tools given us by the people of this community by their sacrifices so that we may have our education. They stand for dhe help and encouragement from our parents, the guidance and inspiration from our teachers. We realize that in accepting responsibility—an obligation— to carry on through our tasks set before us. An obligation so that we may be worthy representatives of the school which tonight bestows this honor upon us. We shall try to the best of our ability to live up to the standard set, to live up to the ideals and traditions of this school, and prove worthy of your investment in ourselves and our tools. Again I thank you in the name of the class of 1947 for these diplomas, evidence of our graduation. CUSSES WESLEY WALLIS RICHARD WESTENSKOW w.

As November came, we had a weiner roast at Baum’s residence. We played games and the entire Freshman class had a good time. Since that time the class has given several parties. We are very proud of the pupils in our class who were active in the student activities, football, basketball, baseball, and boxing. Gracia Beverage was yell queen and Donna Hannann was song queen. For our class picnic we traveled to Pioneer Park. On Wednesday, May 7, we took an afternoon for our picnic and class show in La Grande.

The year started off with election of officers. The elected officers were: President. Walter McBride; vice-president, Lee McElvain; secretary, Richard Westenskow; treasurer. Jack Rinehart. At the beginning of the season, the thirteen new members were required to wear green ties for two weeks as their initiation ritual. On January 16, the organization gave a party for the student body. There were refreshments of cocoa and doughnuts, followed by dancing and games in the Legion hall. In order to raise funds, the club sponsored a dance on November 16, at the gym. A large crowd attended and the organization made enough money from the sale of the tickets to have a tidy sum in the exchequer to carry over for next year. The Lettermen’s Club took care of the policing and ushering at the football and basketball games and were helpful in maintaining order. The organization has had a successful year, with thirteen new members coming in this year The club is looking forward to next year with hope that it will be an even bigger and better year than this last.

Club presented the three-act play “Here Comes Charlie”, February 19 at the high school auditorium. Larry Elliot, a good-looking businessman, with a heart of gold, promised a hill-billy he would care for his only child, Charlie, if anything should happen to him. A short time after the promise had been made a telegram arrived announcing the arrival of Charlie and Uncle Alec. There is much confusion and excitement when Charlie, believed by everyone to be a boy, turns out to be a girl about 18 years old. Uncle Alec and Charlie, fresh from the sticks and minus the “fetchen up” that was required by Aunt Fanny, add much to the bewilderment of Larry. Ted Hartley, Larry’s college pal, adds pep and spice to the play by putting Aunt Fanny in her place. Larry and Vivian have an argument over Charlie and break their engagement. Charlie goes to school and learns to be a beautiful, well-mannered young lady, who wins Larry’s heart completely. Uncle Alec gets rich on the stock market. Aunt Fanny steps off her “high horse” and shows everyone she is human.

This also included the trip to Arlington as Union made their bid for the State B Championship. The song queen and yell leader were the added newness that was badly needed to bring the spirit back to the old Union High standard. w r 9 9 I 9 9 A ifauvuf @lu First Row: Carmen Gambill, Joyce Beck, Beverly Laam Second Row: Donna McGovern, Eileen Shepherd, Norma Lee Curteman, Frank Baum, Mr. William Phillips, instructor. -f Joan Galle, Ruby Parker, Beatrice Nice, Anna Lee Bingham ■9 con ’Tftaj 'iett i m This year of 1946 and 1947 vve saw leading the band around the gym and the athletic field our four majorettes.

Pleasant Hill’s HillM es, the most blazingly fast quintet to compete in the tourney in many seasons, handed the Parkdale Mountaineers a 58 to 22 trouncing in one of the two semifinal encounters. In the other, Union’s youthful Bobcats, with two sophomores and two juniors in the starting five, shaded Star of the Sea of Astoria. 43 to 42, In one of the meet’s great games. Myrtle Creek Friday afternoon defeated Chijoquin, 25 to 24, and Dayton stopped Grant Union of John Day. 30 to 25, to reach the final round in the consolation series. Pleasant Hill, which now has won ID straight games against B competition, completely outclassed the Mountaineers. The Lane county and district 3 kings, with A Irish lads Dick Casey and Johnny Dowdy leading the way, fairly blistered the maple as they rushed to quarter leads of 18 to 8, 29 to 13 and 50 to 16. Casey hit 14 points, Dowdy nine and the manner in which they aped the ball down the floor was something to behold. Washington high of Portland is recognized as probably the fastest breaking A team in the state. Pleasant Hill on this night looked as speedy. Big Third Period Pays Off What broke Parkdale’s heart was a 21 point Pleasant Hill third period while the Mountaineers were getting only three counters. This white hot surge turned the contestant to utter rout. The Mountaineers were game and right down to the wire they fought the ball like the outcome was still in doubt, but simply didn’t, have the r ed to keep pace with Coach P. Otto’s blue and gold clad Billies. Midway through that big third quarter, Plbasant Hill substituted its second team intact. This quint played eight minutes and picked up 14 points to Parkdales two.

Oregon State Corvallis, March 9, College Oregon 1947 To the Coach and Basketball Boys of Union High School: It has done our hearts good the p st ferr weeks to follow the scores of your games, as you advanced in the various tourneys. Our Interest in the Arlington tournament was climaxed by your winning two victories and advancing to the finals. Union has waited a long time for the honor of a basketball championship, and though that honor -wasn't achieved this year we still feel great pride in our school. Yre were disappointed that the score against Pleasant Hill couldn't have been reversed, but that's the way basketball goes. A one-point victory doesn't prove superiority but it is nevertheless a sufficient margin of victory. We congratulate you on your success and think that you have done a fine Job. However, we ould rather see your trophy case fill up with sportsmanship awards than championship cups.
