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.
