McCauley Mrs. Montana Rickards $6 44 'P'tofiAectt Time: THE FUTURE Place: Planet, Xylotyposimplicitarian, where people believe in the simplicity of life. Nrxpzytt, in the form of John Wulf, is cruising along, at a snail’s pace of 400 miles an hour, in an atom propelled caroplane, which was invented by Oriel Lay. Oriel now resides on the planet Saturn where the mass production of caroplanes is now in progress. John turns on his radar set only to discover the sparsely populated Earth in the vision plate. As thoughts of Union, Oregon, loom from the past, he notices that Union totally eclipses the whole of Oregon. The first scene that comes into sight is Ross Paxton, one of John’s schoolmates, who is gathering his flock of sheep into the folds. Ross has become an ardent painter of his flock. People “flock” from miles around to see these extraordinary masterpieces. The Factory For The Manufacture of Milk of Bovine From The Green Grass of Oregon, near the world wide television center of Union, is now operated by co-owners, Carol Timpy and Beverly Powell. This milk is so “fully packed” with the newly discovered vitamin “x” which aids in the growth of shapely babies, so widely known over the entire Earth, that the discoverer, Carol Timpy, will be commemorated among the greatest vitamin discoverers in history. Paul Bunyan’s logging camp now comes into vision. Ah, yes, there is Sidney Huffman who has just been added to the crew. Since he has been employed, the output of lumber has doubled. The radar set now flashes to a carnival scene. Oh, No--oh, but it is--Lyman Baker. He is the greatest barker” of all times, and is gathering the crowd in front of the tent which is occupied by his wife, the Sensational Bubble Dancer, Jo Wilde. Nrxpzytt can’t resist the temptation, so he turns the scene to the interior of the tent. Wrapped in a turban, Hindu style, sits Doris Hixson, practicing her oboe for the next performance of “Bubbles Jo Wilde. The scene now shifts to an air of subdued grace. The Mortician, Jack Bradbury, is now slowly going out of business, and worries about where his next body is coming from. Clatter! Wa-a-a! Ah.Shut up! Mrs. Cleo Underwood Prbjlmktz is trying desperately to keep her small family of fourteen under control. Of course it is a very simple task, since Mrs. Prbjlmktz was such an angelic cherub when she was small. Wythel Delaney is now courting Merle Burnson in great style. In this day and age, the girls present the boys with small tokens of affection. To show her affection, Wythel is seen entering an exclusive Florist’s Shop, owned by the great plant wizard, Pauline Smith. She places a small order (one “measly” truck load) of Stinkdandeweedlions, to send to her loved one. The world reknown Pauline Smith, floriculturist, is best-known for her creation of a plant which expresses its affections by peculiar motions! A great discovery! Mr. Scott Morrison, the distinguished representative of the Eleuthera Island, is now residing in his Washington D. C. hotel suite. He has recently returned from his island home with a boatload of Bahama Island handmaids. As John sees him now, Scott is in the height of luxury. Several of his South Sea maids are feeding him, and the remainder are entertaining him. Ah! Sweet Life! Hmmm! what is in the focus of the radar set now? Why, it looks like a traveling saleswoman. “Well,” Mr. Wulf thinks, “I’ll be a televised horn-toad. It can’t be shy little Artie Clack.” But it is. Artie is the traveling scissor sharpener for the Abigail Triample Scissor Syndicate. She is well known for her sharpening ability. A beautiful, night club scene now comes into sight. The Stork Club has a famous crooner, Billy Davis. It has been packed to overflowing since this celebrated singer has warbled his love songs to the nation. Supporting this great swoom-crooner, is that great name band, “Phyllis Godsey and All Her Little Godseys.” Phil is known for her fine execution on her original xylosoucastaclarinet. The scene shifts to the Morocco Hotel, where eating is a pleasure. Ah-h yes! The chef, Donarae Smith, is preparing one of her famous delicacies, boa-con-stricter souffle, for her long-ago friends. There are Barbara Roberts and Norvin Coles, the famous dancing team known to millions as “The Twinkle Twins”. We now see Miss Donna Warren entering the Winter-Lavoisier Corseteer Shop. Mr. Fred Winters is the proprietor of this exclusive shop. Due to the shape of things Miss Warren has decided she needs a fitting. Mr. Winter’s Assistant, Norma Lee Curteman, is sizing up dimensions for Miss Warren. Norma Lee has a very accurate eye for Jirop-erly fitting one, and tells Donna all the latest gossip during the fitting. “Carla Eddy, a mathematical genius, is trying to perfect a formula for a snapless garter.” “Waldo Zaugg, the once so brilliant man, who lost his mind over a broken heart, is now a complete failure. He spends his time visiting his charming psychiatrist, Eleanor Beck, who hopes to relieve his mind of his troubles.” “Two great Construction Supervisors, Virginia Savage and Berdine Dodds, have pooled their talents and have undertaken an enormous task. They are contracted to construct a huge dam on the Amazon River.” John turns his radar set back to his hometown. He sees Roy Rinehart opening his exclusive Hat Shop. Roy inherited the ability to design hats from his great-great aunt, Louella Parsons. Women “Swarm” to his shop--just to get his ideas on hats! To give this great television center more fame, Union has among its citizens the daring, most sensational, most tantalizing flag pole climber in the world! Virginia Flagpole Hall has broken record upon record with her courageous climbs. We predict she will break still more records. As Nrxpzutt arrives at his castle on the planet, Xylotyposimlicitarian, an explosion of the radar set occurs. John’s mind has been set at ease concerning his boyhood days of Earth and once again he resumes his normal life on Xylotyposimplicitarian as chief advisor for the creation of headless, soulless creatures to work as robots for Oriel Lay. 1.

Septan (?laA4, 'Zti tony We, the Senior class of 49, do hereby proclaim this document to be the legal history of our class. We proudly relate the facts, beginning from the time we were toothless, pigtailed first-graders, till we reached our present state, the “Mighty Senior Class of 1949”. On a bright sunny September morning in the year 1937, about forty-four wide eyed little children trouped up to the new grade school building. Among that group were the old faithful pioneers: Johnny Wulf, Waldo Zaugg, and Billy Davis. These were the little boys with slicked combed hair. The little girls with starched dresses were: Barbara Roberts, Carol Timpy, Wythel Delaney, Norma Lee Curteman, Phyllis Godsey and Virginia Hall, all very scared and some holding tight to their mother’s hands. After getting over their first fright of the surroundings and the teacher, the year proceeded uneventfully. The second year started off their school career, and that year a little blond headed girl from Idaho came to join the class. Her name was Berdine Dodds. In the third year, a very bashful little dark-headed girl joined with the rest of us to finish her schooling here. This little girl from Bates, Oregon, was Beverly Powell, who grew up to be a princess of the May Day Dance during our junior year. During the fourth year of school the class carried on with only one addition. He was known as the little “lady killer” of the fourth grade. Now we call him Scott Morrison. As the years passed by, the class was enlarged by two people. Jo Wilde, a small shy girl with long braids, who came from Utah. The second member was a little girl from Union that was just the opposite in disposition. “Always in trouble” was her nickname; but her real name is Carla Eddy. The sixth year of this class came with two more classmates: Virginia Savage, from South High Valley, was very shy and quiet and did not speak to anyone; also Norvin Coles. The seventh grade passed with more than twenty-two steady teachers teaching the years’ work. This did not include the substitute teachers that came two or three times a dav. During the eighth grade, there were three additional members. Artie Clack, from La Grande, was very bashful and would speak only when the teacher called upon her. Merle Brunson, from Cove, joined to give all the girls a big thrill. Pauline Smith, from BoarH- man, was awed by such a large school On a sunny September day, our joyful, but frightened class, who were called “rooks until the fateful day, were initiated. We arrived at school in swimming suits, evening dresses, overalls and war paint. The front steps were scrubbed and brushed with our lilly white hands. From this day forward we were not “Rooks”, but Freshmen. A high-light of all the years of schooling was the freshman year, when there were eight new students. Two were from Pondosa: Donarae Smith and “Tubby” Rinehart. These students were seen all the first day wandering around with a lost look in their eyes. The eighth grade class from Telocaset came to Union to join the happy throng. Doris Hixson and Sidney Huffman were the bashful and scared ones; but the other member, Eleanor Beck, was cool and calm. The members from the outer world were: unfrightened Jack Bradbury, from Bend Cleo Underwood, from Vancouver; and Freddy Winters from Illinois. During this year, Carol Timpy was the freshman May Day Princess. During the sophmore duration, two more famous people joined the class: Ross Paxton, from Elgin, who was lonesome and scared; and Oriel Lay, from Pondosa. Oriel was not scared, she just didn’t care; she wanted to quit anyway. Our sophmore year brought the honor of carnival queen to us. Virginia Hall reigned as queen. FHA Sweetheart was Barbara Roberts. One or two temporary students came during the junior year, but none remained to graduate. Many honors were bestowed upon members of our class when we were juniors. Barbara Roberts, Sidney Huffman, and Cleo Underwood boosted our school as yell leaders. Phyllis Godsey was editor of the Bobcat. FHA Sweetheart was Virginia Hall. Two outstanding students joined the 49 class in their last year; Donna Warren, from Nampa, and Lyman Baker from Burns. Roy Rinehart acted as student body president during our senior year. Ross Paxton held the position of Bobcat editor. May Day queen was Artie Clack, who reigned over a court of princesses who are Donna Warren, Eleanor Beck, Oriel Lay, and Wythel Delaney. Jack Bradbury was chosen to be an all-state “B” basketball player. Oriel Lay and Ross Paxton were named two outstanding senior journalism students by the University of Oregon. Donarae Smith and John Wulf won Quill and Scroll pin awards for credible work on Bay Lynx staff, with emphasis on scholarship. At last, the long awaited day, for which we had labored, arrived. Through the efforts of our brain and brawn, we received our diplomas and regretfully said good-bye to Union High.

College Don’t embarrass me Frank Frank College Albert Hopkins, Superintendent of Union Schools Superintendent’s Message This year has been called the best in the history of Union schools. Its success is due directly to an ideally cooperative program including support irom Union as a community, from members of the faculty, and from enthusiastic support of the student body. When a school shows ambition, or when the school fails completely, the question is asked, “Who (or What) is responsible?” In answer, I can say that talent, intelligence and sometimes genius is to be found in many high schools in this country, but too often these finer attributes pass by unseen, and are consequently wasted. Chances are hardy for success in the schools when the school's board of directors is careful in its selection of administrators and faculty personnel. There is always good material in the schools, but unless supervisors, teachers, directors, coaches, sponsors, and advisors seek out potentialities in students; unless they insist on the student’s recognition of his own worth; unless there is proper encouragement when depression sets in; unless students are pushed on; unless there is praise for a job well done; the school will lose its flavor, students will become disinterested, faculty members will be restless, administrators will bog down in uncertainty, and the entire community’s morale will be at its lowest. Students of Union high school are commended heartily on their fine school year. All departments sought to be at their peak in excellence. Union and out lying districts have ably given their support. School directors have met school needs. All have responded generously with their energies for the year 1948-49.

The first of the activities for the year was the Freshman-Sophomore skating party. Everyone had a lot of fun bumping into everyone else. The sophomore class presented an assembly to the student body. It consisted of a group of three comical, short skits. Again this year, the sophomore class was honored by having the song queens elected from its class. A large majority of the sophomore class swimming party was held at Cove, in April. Teachers and guests were invited. Refreshments were eaten in the park around a bonfire. The party was a big success. The sophomore students left the school house the last day of school looking forward to an exciting summer and later to their junior year. fieA unett Class officers: Stanley Morrison, president; Donald Huffman, vice president; Pat Watts, secretary; and Darlene Beverage, treasurer. Freshmen have been active in all phases of school life: having provided a yell queen, Darlene Beverage; players for the B basketball squad; football, baseball, boxing, and track. Several parties were had during the year, and several freshman skits were presented in assembly. “Miss Bobcat” was selected from the freshman class. Artie Clack, the class selection for May Queen, won that honor for senior girl through strong support from the freshman class. Donald Stewart and Clare Sloss served as class advisors for the year.

The chorus, costumed as Harlem Folk, helped out the end men with those zippy songs, “Ah Wed Three Hundred Pounds.” and “Sister Let De Spirit Move You. Highlights of the performance were novelty songs done by Sidney Huffman and Barbara Roberts. Ross Paxton and Anna Belle Bates accompanied the singers at the piano. All the seniors participated in this “laugh and music packed” production. Again at Pondosa on April 12th, the minstrel was presented to people of that area.

This year is the first year that the school paper has been printed and the first time in many years that a class in journalism has been offered in Union high school. At the first of the year, the staff decided to change the name of the paper from U-Hi to U-Hi Bay Lynx, later omitting the U-Hi from the name, making the official name of the paper “The Bay Lynx.” The Bay Lynx was awarded second place in a national contest sponsored by the Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University. The staff extends its best wishes and thanks to Mrs. Rickards, our advisor, and to Don and Ged McPherson at the Republic Office for all the help and encouragement they have given to us in the past year. Added to this list are the many supporters, the business houses of Union, who provided two-thirds of the finance for the paper, the superintendent of schools, the board of directors, and all good wishers. The Bay Lynx rated in the first class group, with judging by the Oregon Scholastic Press Association, University of Oregon, in schools of 500 or less enrollment for 1949.

In the second bout at Union, they lost to Powder Valley, 4-2. Most of the boys out for the team won a letter, as they were each matched in the two fights as much as possible.

The organization known as G.A.A. is the girls’ organization of the Oregon High School Activities Association. It is an athletic program which requires time, effort and elaborate planning. One of the main features of the program is the Oregon Point system whereby a girl member may win awards. Union’s chapter was first organized this year. Two events of the year were successful: The All Girls’ Party held in the gym the first semester; and Play Day, second semester. Cove, Elgin, Imbler and Union participated in Play Day. An innovation, which will be permanent, is that Bobcat head awards go to all senior girls winning 50 points. Union Hi’s tumbling team was formed for the purpose of providing sonic type of entertainment for the State B tourney. The entire team turned out faithfully for practices, which were held alter school hours. Routine exercises were done before tackling harder and more difficult pyramids, or individual stunts. For theteams performing costumes, each member bought red poplin material and made their own outfit. Through the cooperation given to Gracia Beverage, the instructor, the team was a complete success, and by popular request the team will continue next year.
