Junior wins national honor
First place honors were taken
by junior Pam Wiik in the na
tional junior achievement com
petition at Bloomington, Indiana
during the summer.
Pam won the New York
Stock Exchange’s trophy
along with $250 for editing
the best annual report. She
also won a 3-day trip to
New York in October hosted
by the stock exchange.
When asked about her reac
tion to winning the national hon
or, Pam summed it up in one
word, “shocked.” “There were
20 national contests and our con
test winners were announced
last,” she explained.
“When they finally did
announce our winners, they
started with the fifth runner
up and continued up to first.
The waiting made me very
nervous. Then I found out I
won and I was so excited.”
Junior achievement was first
introduced to Pam through the
annual assembly devoted to it
held last fall. She was placed in
Norco, the company counseled
by employees of Northwest Nat
ural Gas Company. She was
elected secretary for the first
half of the year,
Norco produced and sold bul
letin boards. From these sales
the company grossed $1,250 and
was named Portland’s junior
achievement company of the
year.
“Junior achievement is what
yo"ii make it,” explained Pam.
“If you work hard, it can really

Urges student body curd purchase
Winning the annual student
body card contest with. Jefferson
for the fourth straight year isn’t
the only reason for making the
$3 purchase according to Rick
Dinihanian, student body presi
dent.
A “flair of prestige” goes
along with the card, in ad
dition to a subscription to
the Grantonian, 25c off all
game tickets and 50c off on
the purchase of a yearbook,
Furthermore the cards are
required for entrance to all
dances.
As the basis for the executive
council’s budget, the money from
the sale helps finance the en
deavors of the yearbook and
newspaper staffs.
Because he is student body
president, having a success
ful student body card sale is
important to Rick. He ad
mits “The main reason I
want everyone to buy stu-
dent body cards is that I
don’t want to paint a gar-
bage can.” the losing
school’s president tradition
ally paints the winner’s gar
bage can during one of their
assemblies.
The traditional race began this
year when our council chal
lenged Jefferson’s and they ac
cepted. Rick adds, “Jeff’s really
hot to beat us.”
Cards are being sold in the
Student Body store until the con
test ends September 23.
Enrichment* course
in Japanese taught
Would you like to learn to
speak Japanese? Well, here’s
your chance. The U.S. National
Bank in affiliation with Dan
Doran, a member of the Grant
High Dad’s club, is sponsoring a
class in Japanese to be held in
room 110 first period.
All interested students should
contact their counselors or talk
to Doris Hanlon in room 110 be-
fore school.
Japanese will be an enrich-
ment course only. It may be
taken instead of a study hall. No
credits will be given for taking
the course. If, however, you do
take it, it will appear on your
transcript when you graduate.
Mrs. Mutsuko Bunch, teacher
of the new course, has lived in
this country only 19 months. She
will also be teaching an enrich
ment course at Portland State
on Wednesday evenings. It too is
a no-credit course.
According to Mrs. Hanlon, who
will be working with Mrs. Bunch,
the course will mainly be con
versational.

. . . assignment for striders
Striding to regain the city
championship, the varsity cross
country squad began work last
week and Coach Mark Cotton
feels he has a team “that can
run with anyone.”
After winning three con
secutive city titles, the Gen-
.erals faltered to third be
hind Wilson and Marshall
last year and finished sixth
in the state meet.
Led by returning lettermen
and co-captains Ardy Ison and
Kirk Breese, this appears to be
a team of no individual “stars.”
Kevin Monson, junior city
champ, and other lettermen Bill
Francis, John Feely, Randy
Boone, Jim Mann and sophomore
city titlist Bruce McCormmach
are strong assets to the team.
Coach Cotton feels that Bruce
Bromley and Greg Edwards will
be able to push anyone on the
team.
Several schools will pro
vide top competition for the
Generals. Marshall appears
to be the strongest.
Taking over the job of head
custodian is Kenneth E. Hughes
who is replacing Noble Cum
mings.
For the past nine years, Mr.
Hughes worked at Ockley Green
elementary school. Previous to
this, he spent one year at Astor
school.
Thirteen helpers and one mat
ron will assist Mr. Hughes in his
job which includes clean-up,
maintenance of the grounds and
building, and minor repairs.

Council president
attends conference
Rick Dinihanian, student body
president, was among 200 stu
dents who attended the National
Association of Student Councils’
leadership conference at Camp
Cheley in Estes Park, Colorado
during August.
Organized by Denver pub
lic schools the week-long
meeting included lectures
and questlion - and - answer
periods. According to Rick
“some of the most interest
ing” classes were held by
the Jaycees.
Rick adds that he found a lady
psychologist’s discussion of love
very informative.
Among the dignitaries at
the conference were Miss
America of 1957 and the
principals and administra
tors of the Denver schools.
“I learned a lot about leader
ship . . . maybe more about peo
ple,” states Rick.
Delegates were first divided
into discussion groups, later into
councils much like our executive
council and then held general
sessions. An adult council an
swered questions.
Earl Reum organized the con
ference which hosted students
from all over, particularly the
South and the Midwest. Rick was
the only representative from the
west coast.
