THE 19 4 8 BOBCAT Editor: PHYLLIS GODSEY Art Editor: ROSS PAXTON Manager: JACK RINEHART Published by the Associated Students UNION HIGH SCHOOL UNION, OREGON You will see on the pages of this yearbook that an attempt has been made on the part of the editing staff to preserve for the student body the interesting and worthwhile phases and incidents in the life of the Union High School student. This year’s book has many changes and additions in organization and content which the staff hopes have helped in the presentation of a more interesting treatment in both pictorial and written materials.

To Albert Hopkins, whose untiring efforts in many different directions have spurred the school on to gain distinction in various fields of endeavor—we dedicate this annual. Perhaps the best news of the year for the school was a wire from Fred Patton, Oregon high school activities association president, which read, “Union selected for state B basketball tournament for 1949.’’ This news was received after the Union Commercial club stood ready to guarantee all expenses and the La Grande and the Baker chambers of commerce endorsed the proposal. Through the activities program of Union High School, every student has been able to participate in at least one extra-curricular activity during the year and often in more than one. Distinction has been won in boxing, in track, in football, and in basketball. Girls have been active in the physical education program and in home economics. The departments of agriculture, music, commerce, language, industrial arts and math have contributed much to a good school year. The attendance record for the year, 96 per cent, is the best in the history of the school and the school and community has had closer communion and understanding than it has known in many years. After seeing the near completion of the new gymnasium, Mr. Hopkins brought to the attention of the P.T.A. and to the community at large the need for an addition to the elementary school to meet the new standards set up by the State Board of Education. The P.T.A., under the able guidance of G. J. Bateman, is backing the proposed plan. The student body, faculty, and community has faith and confidence in the school administration under the supervision of Albert Hopkins. —5 One of the most important functions in the entire school program is that played by the men who are in charge of school transportation. Their personal qualities are most important for they must be reliable, dependable, responsible, patient, intelligent and alert in many diverse situations. In addition to the problem of transporting students to and from school, these drivers and their busses transport the athletic teams, are in readiness for class and school picnics, and are in demand for other school activities. The Board of Directors has used great discretion in the selection of the best drivers and the finest group of men available for this all-important job. Building Custodians . ALBERT GEOROE The supervision and care of any school building requires the services of a diligent, interested, and orderly individual. It is one of the most important services rendered to the school. However, the care of any building cannot rest entirely on the shoulders of any one individual for the job is too great: it requires the constant cooperation of the administrator, the faculty members and the entire student body. To show the proper pride in the school building every shoulder is needed at the wheel, for cleanliness and orderliness is a full-time job. Superintendent’s Page . . . Mr. Albert Hopkins has been superintendent of Union schools for two years and those two years have been progressive ones for the school. Our superintendent has stated that he is well pleased with the school year of 1947-4 8 and believes it is the finest year of bis administration, however, he does not take the credit for its being so. He insists that it results from full cooperation between faculty and administration; harmony among faculty members; understanding of faculty and students; support from members of the board of education; and the fact that the community accepts the school as a vital working part of its social, educational. and cultural life. Mr. Hopkins’ philosophy of education is pretty well known to all who work with him. One of the basic principles which he follows is that of the individual not belonging to himself alone: he is part of a complex social entity, and certain demands are necessarily made upon him as an individual by the society of which he is a part which he must meet and demands which he must fulfill to the best of his ability. In the process of education the deliberate culture of the personality and the community is desired. This means that the individual must realize that he has some share of practical responsibility to society in order that each and both may achieve richness, variety, and depth in the living experiences. In the schools, human life is involved in all its interesting and age-old disclosures. The main goal in education, then, is the maturing of the human personality which will take its responsible place at home in a developing community. Board of Directors The school district is acutely aware of the basic position the board of directors employs in the educational system of our country. The three members comprising the hoard in Union are responsible directors, experienced in the needs of the school, progressive and cognizant of the fact that the current world situation has made us all feel unsafe as a people and as a nation. They realize that we live in a world where anything may happen and that man is already considering the problems of survival for the human race. These changed conditions have been felt strongly in the schools and have brought with them problems and challenges that cannot be avoided or put off with the feeling that solutions can wait for the morrow. Schools are in a position where all bystanders think they know what should be done and all are yelling directions: some impatiently and some angrily. Evidently something must be done whether it is to help children towards a healthy, happy life, to improve the public esteem in which schools are held, to contribute to individual or social or community effectiveness, to save and develop our democracy, or to save our own skins—something must be done. It all adds up to this: The job requires ability of a high order. It cannot be directeJ by men without intelligence and knowledge. It requires courageous decisions. It requires speed and action. Union is indeed fortunate to have men in a directorate capacity who are able to meet challenges and to direct the affairs of the school in a wise and efficient manner. 10— : ' ' : ' L I I I I Board of Directors ODIN MILLER MERTON A.

The yell leaders are elected by the students to take charge of all pep assemblies and lead the cheering section at all athletic contests. The song queens act as assistants to the yell leaders and take over their duties in case they are unable to perform. The presidents of the four classes are in the council to present their respective classes’ views on any issue and to vote as their classes dictate. 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.

F. Hutchinson Elementary school. Out of the original twenty-eight, only seven have stayed to welcome the new and bid the old ones goodbye. They are: Richard Westenskow, who likes to stay home from school to make model airplanes; Forrest Turner, the Freshman girls dreumboy; Earl Holcomb, a woman hater; Beverly Laam, our comedy actress; Anna Lee Bingham, now known as Mrs. James Evans, Carolyn Davis, a would be model, and Joyce Hagey. a fiend for parties. In the second grade a bashful hoy, David Gallo came into our class to spend the rest of his school years with us, and later become very valuable to us because of his intelligence in the electrical department. Alva Roberts, better known as Bobo, joined us in the third grade and is known for his slow and easy way of getting out of class without an excuse. Marie Briggs, a shy little girl then, also joined us. She hailed from Oklahoma, and finally got used to wearing shoes. During the last, half of the fifth grade Lloyd Bronson joined us. but he moved to Vale for his sixth year. Then we were blessed with Jack Rinehart from Halfway, who is known for his independence and dominating personality. Our sixth year rolled around and with it came a dark-haired little girl, Beverly McElvain. We had four more geniuses to enter our little intelligent group in our seventh year. They were Kay Cockrell, Violet Mayotte, and Odies Payne. Odies turned out to be an outstanding student in Social Economics. Lloyd Bronson came back and made a name for himself. It was Romeo because of his first love affair. Our last year of grade school was a memorable one. Arlene Daggett, from Elgin, came and aided to the popularity of the class. We had a hectic year and looked forward to our first year of High School. We all graduated from the elementary school with high honors and the High School looked forward to seeing us join them because of our high I. Q.s. Our Freshman year began with a bang. There were a lot of strange faces from Pondosa and our suburb, Telocaset. Two of the Pondosa group still remain with us, they are Dorothy Hay word, who is known as Mrs. Pharis Timpy, and Verlin Conner, still bashful as ever. Jimmy Hermsen, a very 'bashful boy from Baker, was received in our class, and has remained throughout the four years. He got over his bashfulness, however. Rook day was our most memorable day, but w’e enjoyed seeing the sophomores have their little fling in painting our faces with lipstick. Our Junior year came around and by this time we felt pretty important. Lucille Lewis, a little Idaho blonde, joined us and hooked one of the seniors. Also Eugene DuMars. from La Grande, joined his talents with ours. Vale gave us two of her intelligent students, Wes and Ken Wallis. Wes is our muscle man, and Ken is the brain of our class. In April, Donna Kersey, a shy little girl (we thought) from Portland. fell into our midst. Her talents included getting engaged to the available Bud Harris. Dan McLaren, a tall dark boy from Burns, known for his bright remarks, also joined us at this time. We gave the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom in April, and made the most of our class party by going on a hike to Miller Lake, and later finished the day by swimming in Cove with a picnic at the pairk. Our Senior class brought Bill Hewitt from La Grande, talented in throwing erasers. We gave our Senior Class Play and then spent the rest of the time loafing In the classrooms and study halls. Well, the time has come when dear old Union HI will lose this extraordinary group of intelligent students. We hope we are remembered throughout the coming years. • ■ :i n' J ■ I, Beverly Laam, do will and bequeath my Lana Turner sweaters to Myrna Kinsey.

As Gene DuMars, a prosperous farmer in the Union community on his father’s estate, starts to cross the street, he is almost run over by the huge street car which runs through Union. In a moment of anger he starts to swing on the conductor and discovers it is his old pal, Dan McLaren. They start to talk over old times and -decide to take a trip around the world and look up their remaining twenty-five classmates of 1948. Before starting on their trip, they decide to go to see if their old friend, Odies Payne, can go. He is now the social economics teacher at Union High. Upon their arrival they find he is struggling with one of Mr. Hopkins’ sons who is continually saying, “I don’t know.” He feels he must stay here in an effort to teach them something so he declines his former classmates’ offer. As Gene an.j Dan drive through North Powder they see a poor woman struggling desperately with ten little ones. As they stop to lend a hand they see it is none other than Donna Kersey, now Mrs. Bud Harris. Farther on into Powder they go, and out to the Davis ranch where they find Carolyn, who is now manager of her dad’s ranch, still seeing North Powder’s former football star, Ron Young. After a few moments of conversation with Carolyn about her livestock, they drive on, stopping at Halfway where they find Dorothy Timpy and her husband, Pharis, with their little tribe of Tinipys, all happily running a gas station. Due to excess speed in Keeting they receive a ticket and are sent to the D. A.’s office. Imagine their great surprise when they find that Earl Holcomb is holding this high office. For old times’ sake he sends th m on their way without a fine. While driving through Cheyenne, Gene and Dan see a huge mansion high upon a hill and with their inquiry find that it belongs to Bill Hewitt. They learn that he is now a man of leisure supported by his wife, the former Marla Watts, who is now a famous poet. The first thing they notice’ as they enter the heart of New York is a flashey sign saying “Turner’s Burlesque Show.” Remembering Forrest’s big ambition they decide to see if he can possibly be the owner. While they stand in line, who should be hurrying by in her business-like way but Joy Hagey. now a dentist in the city. During their visit with Forrest they find he is still keeping in touch with Arlene Daggett, who is now in Norfolk, Virginia, so they decide to go to see her next. In Norfolk, among all the sailors, Arlene is found working on her soundless alarm clock. You see, she never did enjoy getting up anyway. Circling around by way of the south, Gene and Dan decide to visit Texas and remember Violet Mayotte’s great ambition to be a famous scientist and to locate in the lone star state. They have little trouble in locating Violet, now a world-wide famous scientist working on the United Planets project. From here they start for South America and stop over in Brazil where they find that Jack Rinehart is using the experience he got in high school as Annual Manager and is now managing a coffee plantation near Rio De Janeiro. Continued to next page Senior Class Prophecy . . . Dan and Gene are not planning on going to Egypt, but they hear that a Hollywood Movie company is making a picture there so they decide to stop to see if any of their friends can he located. As they appro.: h the location, weird sounds of music greets their ears. To their very great surprise it is Richard Westenskow and his orchestra playing lor “Puppetoons.” Richard suggests that they go to Arabia and the first thing of interest they see is a handsome sheik and his harem of beautiful girls. To their astonishment they find that it is Kay Cockrell. Over into Africa they go where David Calle is supposed to be coach of the “South African Football Team.” During their short visit they find Dave likes his job of coaching this football team because they are resourceful enough to use coconuts in place of pig skins. Dave tells them that he has heard that Wes Wallis is a spy in Russia so they fly over to see Wes. They soon find it is impossible to get through the Iron Curtain. They turn to go but arc halted; for when Wes finds his friends are trying to see him he comes slashing his way through the Iron Curtain to visit them. Now they hop over to Hawaii in a speed plane in hopes that they’ll get to see some beautiful girls. A crowd of people seem to be gathered around a hula girl and to their surprise they see it is Beverly McElvain. When they land in Los Angeles they see a tall familiar looking man standing by the gate of the giant airport. It is James Ilermison. He invites them to the Arthur Murray studio where he is eugaged as a dancing teacher. While they are still in sunny California they hear wild rumors of a counterfeiting gang operating in San Francisco. The case sounds most interesting, so they drive to San Francisco to investigate. Upon their arrival they find the gang well on its way to prison. None other than the notorious Beverly Laam from dear old Union High is leading the way. She is beyond ai l, so Dan and Gene decide to drive on. While driving through California and on their way home they stop in at Chester to eat lunch. They enter the exclusive “Evans Bar” and discover that Mr. and Mrs. Janies Evans, (Mrs. Evans being the former Anna Lee Bingham) are the owners. Here they find also Marie Briggs, the barmaid, and they all have a good little chat. After leaving Anna Lee and Jimmy they head for Alaska and the first news they hear as they hit the Alaskan shore is that an old friend, Ken Wallis, is now a world famous atomic scientist. He is doing his experimenting there. Another former classmate, Lloyd Bronson, is selling firecrackers in Alaska. He got his start one summer at dear old Union and now has a “booming” business. As Gene and Dan enter Oregon they stop to pick up a hitch hiker and see that it is Alva Roberts. He tells them he has spent a happy ten years just being a bum and is now going back to Union to work for a change. By the time the group reaches Kamela, Oregon, they feel quite hungry and stop at a grocery store to get something for a snack. Here, to their surprise, they find Lucille Lewis is running the store and is still after the elusive Bob. Now returning home they realize there is still one classmate left. This is Verlin Conner who, they find, is manager of the Pondosa Lumber Mill. As their happy trip comes to an end. they feel that it has been a huge success. Now we have evidence that every senior of “48” knows what his friends are doing in 1958. Scniorscope . . .

Kenneth L. Wallis and Violet Mayotte, graduating high school seniors, were recipients of scholarships to Eastern Oregon college at commencement exercises held in the high school gym. Wallis’ scholarship was awarded to him by the Lion’s club of La Grande. Violet’s scholarship was made possible by G. I. Hess of Union. The scholarships were presented to the recipients by Dr. Roben J. Maaske, president of EOC. Bronze pins, Sun-Ray bronze medals were presented to seniors who have distinguished themselves in certain fields. Members of the freshman, sophomore, and junior class in a special student body meeting selected the following seniors to receive these honors: Violet Mayotte, salutatorian; Ken Wallis, valedictorian; Kay Cockrell, industrial arts; Forrest Turner, activities; Richard Westenskow, band; Jim Hermsen, school spirit; Carolyn Davis, home economics; Da e Galle, agriculture; Anna Lee Bingham Evans, choir; and Jack Rinehart, athletics. The Danforth foundation in recognition of qualities of leadership awarded certificates of honor with their names entered on “I Dare You Honor Roll’ to Richard Westenskow and Beverly Laam, selected by the faculty to best qualify for these awards. Forrest Turner was selected by a committee made up of two citizens and one faculty member from Union as the most valuable player in basketball for 1948, selection based on scholarship, clean cooperation, attitude, sportsmanship, and fine ability as a player. Turner’s name will be placed on a basketball plaque which was presented to the school in 1947 by G. I. Hess and which is to have the name of the most valuable player in basketball for each year. In recognition of their selection as district all stars in basketball, Jack Rinehart and Forrest Turner were introduced to the public. State all stars in basketball, Richard Westenskow, Rinehart, and Turner were asked to stand. District all stars in football: Rinehart, Westenskow, Turner and Alva Roberts were introduced. The World We Face KEN WALLIS, Valedictorian These ceremonies mark the end of our high school careers. School for some of us may be over forever. For others, the past few years may be merely the gateway to advance:! training. No matter what may be our immediate future, we all realise that this is a great time in which to be young. It is impossible for a graduate to remain unaffected by the challenge of the future. The poet Longfellow remarked that “a boy’s will is the wind’s will, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” Yes, youth dreams of the future, plans for the future, exists for today, but lives in the tomorrow. Youth today and adults are aware that the world picture is dark Ground us, but we look to the days ahead when the warm breezes of security will push these dark clouds aside and let. the blue of lasting peace shine on human kind. Life is always a prohiem, and there are bound to be many burdens to overcome and many trying conditions to face in the modern world. Our late president set forth our aims for the future in the four freedoms: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Fear, Freedom from Want. (Jan these purposes be attained? Are these aims too idealistic for us to consider in a post-war world? No, we must look ahead for better things and greater hopes for people all over the world. We must create through the United Nations more than a mere lasting peace. We must bring the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to every man, woman, and child. In this world there is plenty for everyone; therefore we must strive to help our neighbors to attain an equal berth in world affairs so that we and they will “fear not, want not.” To do this, we must have faith in ourselves and faith in the future so that we shall have the courage to carry out these plans. This is not expecting too much when we consider the hazards facing Christopher Columbus as he sailed against the whims of the pessimists. Surely we cannot fuil in our plans for freedom when we think of our forefathers who braved the perils of a new country to establish their ideals of free speech and worship. These ideals have been the foundation rocks of our great nation. True, we as a nation have faced many grave problems, but just as surely as we have overcome these situations, so too we shall find a lasting solution to the present crisis. We must do all we can to refute those who say that world peace and security will never become a reality. There were those who said that Hannibal could not cross the Alps, that Peary could not reach the North Pole, but they did it. Just so we have the opportunity of creating a greater era of living in the days ahead. We must not be discouraged, but instead live with the thought of accomplishing our purpose. No obstacle or task must seem to great or impossible. We, the graduates of 1948, are inspired with the accomplishments of the past. We know that beyond these present dark clouds lies a silver lining and the sun is still shining. So it is with the world we face. Hope will never die so long as we have this shining spirit to guide us to better and greater things by helping our fellowmen. Tomorrow, of course, will be different from today. The world Is constantly changing. If the American system is to survive and grow in our country, and is to give its great benefits to all the people of the world, it must meet the great challenges of its time. How it fares in the period immediately ahead will depend to a great extent on what young people stand for and what they achieve. Thus as we pause at this threshold of experience, we firmly resolve that our lives may be worthy of the training we have here received, and that we may go forward to a better world. J 1 41 Greetings Yet our joys overshadow any sadness; for even as classes before us have marched down the line to enter the group of alumni of Union high school to make room for classes which have followed, so we too are glad to pass from Union High school yielding our places to those who will come after us. May we attain as useful a place in the world as have many of the graduates of this high school. Again the class of 194 8 welcomes you to its graduation— the end of its high school days, an end which is a beginning. to its commencement; VIOLET MAYOTTE, Salutatorian As a representative of the graduating class of the Union High school for the year of 194S. I greet you and extend you a cordial welcome to our Commencement. Your presence conveys to us an expression of your interest in our advancement, and I would fail in my responsibility if I did not pause to express to you that which we feel isjustly due. To you and to the many who are unable to be present in person; but whose thoughts are with us tonight on the eve of our commencement; to all of those who have helped to make this hour a possibility, we express our appreciation. The group which comes before you at this Hour—the class of 1948, assembler for the highest promotion it is possible for one to attain in this school. Whatever knowldge we have gained to help us in after iife. has been given us in school. Twelve years ago marked our first entrance into school. Through successive years we have been promoted. Tonight we have reached our objective. Our commencement is at hand. Tonight as we glance past the dozen mile posts of time that mark our sojourn as students of public schools, many thoughts pass through our minds. There is our first day of school with all its fears; all its promises it held for us; memories of hours on the playground; first recitations, honor rolls; activities; contests; examinations; assemblies; happy hours of association with classmates and school mates....... Thoughts of all these we have tonight at our commencement. There are thoughts of appreciation for those sturdy pioneers who conquered wilderness and mountain and built a nation in which our education is possible. There are thoughts of our parents who have sacrificed that we might enjoy the glory of this event tonight. There are thoughts of friends who have aided in our training and education. There are thoughts of schoolmates less fortunate than the class of 194 8, who have dropped out of school and to whom this hour will never come. We greet you at our commence ment with a sadness of heart; for our commencement is also an ending, adeparture, a breaking of home ties which have been formed in Union high school. But the class of 194S welcomes you to Its commencement also with a happiness that can come only to those who have reached their graduation. We know that you, our friends, our companions, our advisors, rejoice with us in our attainments. We know that you share with us all that commencement brings.

ACCEPTANCE OK DIPLOMAS By Forrest Turner President of Senior Class As president of the class of 194S, 1 wish to express our appreciation of the diplomas just presented. True to the traditions of this high school we shall ever value these diplomas, not alone for the material value they represent; but because they shall remind us for years to come of the little incidents of our high school life, which make our high school days cherished. It is the wish of every member of this class to live true to the ideals which have been taught us in high school. It is the desire of every member of this class to always be a cre.iit to the school; and to so conduct ourselves that the school may always be proud to number us among the graduates. As we stand here for the last time as a class of the Union high school, we pledge our loyalty and allegiance to the high school, which for us will always be alma mater. We shall ever try to be all that our high school expects of us; and all that we hope to be ourselves. In Appreciation... By RICHARD WESTENSKOW Student Body President A new era has made its approach in this world of ours and it is up to us to deal with it wisely and with intelligent leadership or foolishly meet with the inevitable results which spell chaos to the world. It has become an important matter for us to know and to understand other people, to be able to honor their thoughts and feelings, to know their opinions and to seek to understand their wishes. It has fallen my lot to lead the student body of Union High School for one year is its president. During this time I have learned many things: how vital it is to know the importance of establishing good Work habits; how to share in the planning of certain school activities; some understanding of human nature and how it works. I have learned what equality of opportunity really means for me and for other students in this democratic way of life. As I leave this school with its rich atmosphere and its inspiring record of many achievements throughout the years, I pause to reflect that it could not have been made possible without the wise guidance of teachers, administrators, school board directors and citizens of this community, of the state of Oregon, and of the United States.

It boasts of several outstanding athletics and participation in student activities throughout the year. Marla Watts brought the class an added distinction by having her poem, “That’s Life,” accepted for publication in the 194 8 Anthology of High School Poetry. Several other students from the sophomore class submitted manuscripts for the publication and had poetry printed in U-Hi, school newspaper, at different times during the year. Frank Raum was selected by KLBM in La Grande on the Tu-Valley League All-Star Basketball Team. Barton DeGraw announced for the “Three C’s” talent show group which took first prize during hospitality week in La Grande. Larry Wilson has received ten letters in athletics in two years, an outstanding record. Dick Trump received several letters in athletics which indicates that Union has good material in the sophomore class. 56 L L Freshman Activities . . . 58 President .... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer .... CLASS OFFICERS .Ernest Briggs Duane Duncan Bill Hudson Phyllis Droke We. the freshmen, errtered this big forbidding building at the first of the year klnda green and scared, but we gradually got over it and we’re glad that we’re here (I gfUess!) We began and en ied the year with a total of thirty-nine students in our class, with one girl’s leaving and one boy’s replacing her. The freshmen boys were very active in sports this year, and the majority of them participated. The freshman class party was held at the V. F. W. Hall at the first of the year. We were lucky, that we were never initiated. Instead, the sophomores gave us a party at Pioneer Park; to welcome us (1 think!) We have several students on “Honorable Mention’’ this year. The freshmen consider themselves very fortunate to have the three song queens chosen from their rooms this year. FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES The freshmen have been having a lot of activities this year, especially in the English and orientation classes. The orientation class edited a booklet of school songs and yells to promote school spirit. The same class made two scrapbooks to be presented to the school library with Pete Key anl Veldonna Wardell as chairmen. One hook is devoted entirely to the athletic program and the other to all other school actfvities. They consist of clippings from all the Eastern Oregon newspapers and two Portland papers: the Oregonian and ihe Journal. A play was broadcast from KLBM, December 5, “That School M’am From the East.” and on December 18, seven girls from the orientation class presented the one-act play. “Seeing’s Believing.” A skit was given in assembly by other freshmen students called “No, No, A Thousand Times No,” an old-fashionei treatment of hero curbs villian’s dirty work. I he last nine weeks of school, the English class edited a newspaper, “Freshman Highlights,” in an effort to learn some of the techniques involved in newspaper writing so that next year the class can assist in putting out the regular school paper. The class has enjoyed many parties and picnics. Many members of the class were in the school chorus, in band, in library work, active in vocational agriculture, industrial arts, athletics, and aided substantially in the construction of the new gym. r J J J J J J J Reading left to right: Front row Berdine Dodds.

She has been an outstanding scholar in high school, is a very active member of the 4-H club in Union, and is an expert horsewoman. Phyllis shows great reliance as far as school work is concerned. She is friendly, cooperative, and well-liked. At times she seems ennuyee but it is only an attitude. She is a capable and energetic young editor. President . . . RICHARD WESTENSKOW President of the Associated Students For intelligence, good judgment, fine qualities of leade rship and handsome appearance, the Union High School associated students could not have found a more drsireable candidate for its most important student office. Richard has been a high school student at Union for four years exhibiting his versatile talents in several directions: band, chorus, athletics, drama, and several times class officer. He has been faithful to the school, presided over all its student body meetings, and performed his duties in such a way that students learned to respect his judgment and to follow his direction throughout the year. Cleo Underwood Sidney Huffman . Barbara Roberts Phyllis Droke Donna Greenwood Kay Kdvalsoti Yell Leaders . . . This year instead of the student body’s choosing one yell leader it saw fit to choose three. The group includes two girls and a boy and all members are from the junior class. They are: Barbara Roberts, Cleo Underwood, and Sidney Huffman. This attractive group planned the pep assemblies and participated whole-heartedly at football and basketball games, working up new yells and making quite an impression in their red and white satin uniforms whenever they made an appearance. Much pep and school spirit during the school year were the direct result of this working trio. Two big events in the year’s schedule were their trips to La Grande for the semi-play off for the State B championship football game and to Arlington to the State B championship basketball games. The school is proud of these three yell leaders and it may be some time before the school again has a group equal to this one in versatility, personality, good looks and team work. Union High School salutes the yell leaders! r Son Queens Song queens this year were chosen from the freshman class. They were: Donna Greenwood, Phyllis Droke, and Kay Edvalson. The school has a right to be proud of these queens for they are not only beautiful, graceful, talented in many ways, but intelligent as well. They are well liked by every member of the student body and the teachers. because of their co-operativeness, their willingness to work, and their pleasing attitude at all times. The song queens participated in nearly all school activities and wore red skirts and white blouses of their own design. New songs were introduced to the student body during the year and were directed by the queens themselves. 66 L L I L I C c.

Letterman’s Club . . . The letterman’s club met September 29th to elect the following officers for the 194 7-48 school year. President, Forrest Turner; Vice-President, Carl Hudson; Secretary, Waldo Zaugg; Treasurer, Jack Rinehart; Sergeant-at-Arms, Wes Wallis. The lettermen have had a busy and successful year, adding many new members and acting as guides, usners, and police at football, basketball, baseball and other games during the year. They sold enough tickets to buy all new uniforms for the football squad, and bought a heating lamp and pad which were donated to the athletic department of the school. Rookies joining the club had to wear white shirts and red bow ties to school for a week. Anyone able to withstand the jibes which go with such a tradition are deserving of membership to the letterman’s club. New initiates include Bill Hudson. Lyal Zaugg, Wes Wallis. Ken Wallis, Frank Baum, Fred Wingers, Jim Hewitt. Keith Coin, Clayton Glenn, and Earl Holcomb. 71 FUTt'RK HOMFMAKKKS OF AMERICA UNION HIGH 8CHOOft Future Homemakers of America • • • Officers—President, Carolyn Davis; Vice-president, Norma Lee Curteman; Secretary, Donnarae Smith; Treasurer, Jo Wilde; Historian, Cleo Underwood; Reporter, Joyce Beck; Advisor, Helen Becker; Chapter Mother. Lucy Westenskow; Chapter Sister, Irene McKenzie. The school year was started out with the election of officers in September and they were in stalled the following month at a formal banquet given for this purpose and for the initiation of new members. In November there was a potluck dinner with a theater party following. December was the month of the annual Christmas party held this year at Mrs. Becker’s home. Everyone brought a gift to exchange with someone else. For January a slumber was scheduled and held in the new gym. Everyone brought his own covers but the floor was so hard, the covers were not really needed. There was a midnight snack along with the current gossip but there were those unfortunate ones who fell asleep and missed a lot of fun. A Gold Diggers’ dance was scheduled for the next month but it was canceled. The Sweetheart’s dance came off in March f ith Virginia Hall as queen. She chose as her partner, Sidney Huffman. The dance was formal. For April the Birthday party was in order and a show afterwards. Again gifts were exchanged. In May the Mother and Daughter Tea was held in the gym and the girls modeled clothing which they had made in the home economics department during the school year. Beautiful new fashions were modeled by the freshmen girls from Falk’s in La Grande, the same evening. The Union F.F.A. Chapter has known a successful year with twenty-four members enrolled for 1947-48. The chapter attended the Union County fair in La Grande where Jack Bradbury had the Grand Champion ewe. The chapter was given eight ewes by the Sears Roebuck company. These ewes were divided between Jack Bradbury and Sande Forde, each boy receiving four of the ewes. There were five boys who went to the Pacific International livestock show at Portland: Gene DuMars, Merle Brunson and Fred Winters as delegates; Duane Duncan and Billy Paxton as alternates. Norvin Coles also attended the show with Mr. McKeunon. Three chains have been introduced in the chapter, two of which were started this year. The chapter started with a dairy cattle chain in previous years, but this year the iapter has been more fortunate and started two chains. One is the sheep, previously mentioned. Another chain is from a $200.00 sow. Gene DuMars has the sow now with her eight pigs. This pure bred sow. imported from Minnesota, was a champion sow at the Minnesota State Fair. There was a Union County better farming contest made up for the chapters in Union County. Gene DuMars won first prize and Norvin Coles won second. Nine boys represented the Union chapter at the F.F.A. convention held at Klamath Falls this year. David Galle won a silver award certificate in arc welding and Norvin Coles won a bronze award certificate in tool identification. Uhion’s chapter had the winning judging team in the Eastern Oregon livestock show held in Union June 3-4-5, tills year. It ranked third as a chapter in premiums won. Gene DuMars ranked fourth in high individual rating on values received in premiums. Norvin Coles received $324.85 for his steer bought by the H M meat company of Union, the third highest steer sold. It has been a good year and a profitable one in many respects not only for the Union chapter as a whole but for many individual members as well. • • • 73 ANNUAL F.I'.A.

About two hundred new books have arrived during the year. They are in fields which interest most students. Other than fiction are the following: poetry, short stories, biographies, writing, speech, music, law, medicine, nature, wild life and fish, sports and games. The librarians have been working toward recataloging the entire library. The old files were incomplete and not up to date. Throughout the year the library has collected and has in the treasury between twenty-five and thirty dollars, most of which has been collected from fines for overdue books. If the library is able to obtain a carpenter and adequate supplies for the w'ork, some new desks, cabinets, and general remodeling will be the project for next year. I’MON HIGH SC HOOL KANN UNION HIGH DRUM MAJORETTES Marla Watts 79 Anna Leo Bingham Varene Rogers Officers High School Band . . . President ......... Secetary-treasurer Director ......... .......Oriel Lay ...Phyllis Godsey Ralph McKenzie The high school hand has seen much improvement this year under the capable direction of Ralph McKenzie. Operations were first started in poorly equipped quarters while the new band room in the gym was under construction and the band felt certain handicaps as a result. The American Legion offered its building to the band and Mr. McKenzie with the help of Albert George tended the fires. Many innovations have been introduced with the new stage and the band room in the gym in the way of sound-proofing, adequate risers and new horn cabinets. The stage is large enough to accommodate a nice size band and with the addition of new members next year, Union looks forward to a bigger and better band. The band was active all year, playing at almost all of the home basketball games, the most important event being its playing for the District 8-B championship game. The band uniform fund is well underway and the band will be glad when it can raise the necessary $1800. to outfit its members to that public performances will again have the color and splendor that is rightfully expected of any good band. Good music resplendent with proper adornment in the way of uniforms for the band members is the present aim of the band and its director. Drum Majorettes . . . During the school year of 47 and 48 the school has been fortunate in having three fine, beautiful, graceful majorettes. They are: Anna Lee Bingham, Verene Rogers, and Marla Watts. Anna Lee, a senior, has had plenty of experience in twirling and slrutting for she was a majorette last year, and was chosen by the band to be major this year. Serene Rogers makes a striking appearance in her attractive majorette costume. She is a junior this year. Marla Watts, a sophomore, is not only a poet, but presents a pleasing personality in drills as well. Throughout the year the girls produced some very good drills which were some of the finest the school has ever had. These girls performed at pep assemblies and at basketball games. The biggest event being the District 8-B basketball tournament held in Union in the new gym. Majorettes Bingham. Watts, and Rogers were chosen from a number of girls trying out for the band and selected by popular vote of the band members. 80 UNION HIGH SCHOOL CHORES Chorus . . .

Classes were held over in the Legion Hall. It was rather inconvenient because the students had to walk a block to get to class. Most of the period was spent hovering over the old iron stove which served as an instrument for heating purposes. The first three months were spent on lively music which Mr. McKenzie was fortunate to obtain. In December the choruses started on the traditional Christmas carols and planned a Christmas party. Nearly every member turned out for the party and the first half of the evening was s: ent in caroling. The rest of the evening was for entertainment at the Woman’s Club where Mr. McKenzie introduced his wire recorder. With the coming of the new year, more music was learned and many delightful periods were spent in singing. The chorus performed for various organizations during the year: at the soil conservation meeting, the Eastern Star Banquet and the P. T. A. For Easter the chorus helped sponsor an assembly for the high school student body and sang two choral arrangements: Green Cathedrals” and Battle Hymn of Ihe Republic.” The chorus expressed its appreciation to the Eastern Oregon College for the lending of its risers which were used for the Easter assembly and Commencement exercises. In April, eight out of the chorus were chosen to participate in the music festival held at Baker. They were: Jack Rinehart, Jimmy Hermsen, Clayton Glenn, Ross Paxton, Beverly Laam, Carla Eddy, Norma Payne and Pauline Smith. It was an enjoyable two days and very profitable in music appreciation. Members of the choral groups received letters which are distinctively made up. 81 Oh 100 y M MW tWHEl-S fVSSt TOR Sj$ • '- . •. ■ '� cT Too ft v ±%k o • • • At the beginning of football season the sixth period girls P. E. class decided to organize a drill team and a drum corps. The large drill team functioned during football season with two performances and the smaller group, the drum corps, a group of about eight girls under the direction of Marla Watts, enlarged its group and perfomed several times during basketball season. The drum corps which became a drill team for want of a better name later was under the direction of Dorothy Timpy when Marla became a band majorette. The drill group has become part of the school activities program and will organize next year with twenty members already recruited. This year the group wore white and red uniforms. Pom Pom girls carried pom poms of red and white. They performed with their batons in drills or routines which called for strutting and twirling. Jack Rinehart, Beverly Laam, Donna Harris, Wes Wallis, Arlene Daggett, Ken Wallis, Alva Roberts, Anna Lee Bingham, Odies Payne, Carolyn Davis, Forrest Turner. Senior Class Play • • Student Director—Joy Hagey The Senior Class presented a three-act mystery play on March 26, 3 948, under the general direction of Montana Rickards. Jonas Pennington, a rich old man, is murdered and Rod Stanford, a hard boiled detective, is called in on the case. With an air of mystery and on a stormy night nearly every character is at one time or another a suspect. Connie. Mr. Pennington’s daughter, was recently named benefactor in her father’s will and because of this fact she and her fiance, Kent Warren, are strongly suspected. As the plot unfolds and motives are uncovered, Dr. Love joy is discovered as the murderer. CHARACTERS Jonas Pennington Connie Pennington Susan Giay ...... Emily ............

The play offered both drama and comedy. Geraldine, Samantha, and Harriet were trying to get the estate their brother had left by not letting their niece, Patsy, associate or think about boys.
