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

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.
