The Grantonian Vol. 77, No. 14 U. S. Grant High School, Portland, Ore. May 28, 1970 A GG of tidally disbands, meaning gone Starting next year, fall 1970, there will be no Associated Grant Girls, as a club. The rea son for this has been described in terms of the lack of participa tion the group has encountered. Mrs. Helen Kappler, AGG advisor, remarked that the money left in the treasury will go to the Fletcher-Mc Graw scholarship that is awarded to a senior each year. There is enough mon ey now to last for about three years in scholarships. Activities Director Mr. George Galati remarked that he “felt sure AGG could be turned into a service group to perform duties around the school.” In past years, AGG (formerly Girls’ League) has been a more social group specializing in activities to entertain. The reorganization NHS elects commissioners, meets 'honor underclassmen' Elected to the office of Com missioner of the National Honor Society, at the recent senior farewell banquet held on May 20, were juniors Mark Viebrock, Ron Goodman, Jane Oliver, and Greg Lowes. The head commissioner will be chosen from this group, by this group. In stead of serving in the ca pacity of commissioner for only one semseter, these of- Commencement at Coliseum planned; seniors to speak Commencement exercises will take place June 5 at 8:00 p.m. in the Memorial Coliseum for all seniors planning to participate. More than six hundred will be doing so. Student speakers at the event will be Mary Ann Rees and Lar ry Wheeler. Leading up to the commence ment exercises are a senior as sembly and a practice at the Coliseum. The assembly will be Wednes day at 8:30 a.m. in the audi torium here. Important an nouncements will be made, un paid fees collected, and cap and gowns issued. The practice will begin at 9:30 a.m. June 5 (8:00 a.m. for speech participants.) The practice is mandatory for all participating. Each senior may pick up two reserved seat tickets for the Commencement audience today or tomorrow in the Main Office. The tickets will entitle seating in sections 24-26 and 1-5 in the lower tier. Tickets will be need ed for seats in the reserved sec tions until 7:50 p.m. but plenty of other good seats will be avail able in the Coliseum. In the case that any tickets are left after tomorrow, any senior may have a maximum of two more on a first come, first served basis. ficers will serve for the whole of next school year. “This is to prevent a breaking of plans by the old commission ers when the semester ends,” stated Mrs. Elva Newcomer, one of the three advisors for NHS. “We will then have better planned activities.” Sentiments of a great hon or were expressed by Jane Oliver when she remarked, “I am very honored to have been elected to the office of commissioner in NHS. I hope to continue the tradi tion of integrity that NHS upholds.” Also recognized at the ban quet were scholars from the freshman and sophomore classes. Freshman girls honored were: Renee Schrepple, Kristin Van denberg, and Lauren Whipple. Boys from the freshman class credited were: Robert Klonoff and Donald Olson. Members of the sophomore class honored were: Debra Chat terton, Joan Forshaug, Dan Dougherty, Larry Friesner, Scott Heller, Frederick Wiedmaier. Congratulations to the under classmen! of the group is uncertain. “There is no great con cern whether AGG is around or not,” commented Rocky Menashe, AGG Uppei Cham ber president. “There are so many other organizations, that the girls have little time for AGG. It’s too bad AGG is over, but it is bet ter than just carrying the motions for nothing or no one.” When the disbandment of AGG was proposed to the Ad ministration, it was revealed that they too felt there were too many other acivities that con flicted. It is now hoped that the clubs and classes will be able to take over where AGG left off. “But AGG did not really die,” Mr. Galati remarked. “By dis banding AGG, other organiza tions will have gained life, and members.” As of last year, AGG was known as Girls’ League. The name and basic framework were changed to create a closeness between Juniors - Seniors and Freshmen-Sophomores. In the days of Girls’ League, Girls’ League Week was held, honor girls chosen, assemblies held, as well as mother-daughter banquets and new-girl parties. Many charitable drives were also sponsored. Girls made rag dolls, puppets, quilts for needy organ izations. On many occasions there were singing parties for various organizations and visita tions to shut-ins. In the past many activities and services have been carried out by the organization. This year, alone, there was a Big and Little Sister Party, a caroling party, a few sales, a Valentine Card sale, and the trophy cases helped clean. JfampJUA. Jtap&AA.
