6 THE GRANTONIAN May 28, 1970 'Sincere thanks. Community!' by Martha Ojard Grant High School is sincerely thank ful to the Grant Community — the stu dents, the parents, the businessmen—for the magnificent support you have given to us this year in all of our activities. Your kindness, your generosity and your genuine concern have made it possible to provide for the needs of many Grant students. THE GRANT HIGH STUDENT BODY Yes, Grant students most sincere ly thank all the people who helped to make this school year one of the best we’ve ever had. Not only will the underclassmen remember it; but, more than they, the seniors will re member. We will remember that the community gave $2200 gross to Aloha Mahalo Nui, the very successful effort that sent our Caroline Walker gets 'Merit award' trophy basketball team to Hawaii. We will remember the community that gave $2500 gross to the most successful Carnival ever held: “S’Bring in The Old West.” (We will also remember all the tremendous efforts of the many concerned people who gave time and energy to put up Carnival 1970.) We will remember the community which contributed $3500 to junior Guy Burkhardt: a promising wrestler who was injured seriously during a match. Because of his injuries, he .must remain in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The community which gave him the $3500 will never be forgotten. We will never forget the com munity which poured out a gross of $2400 to “Bye Bye Birdie,” our smash musical. We will remember the community which helped us give $1000 to Community Service Collections: United Good Neighbors; Letters to the Editor From the desk of: George A. Galati Activities Director Grant High School My congratulations to the Graduating Class of 1970 on the spirit and enthusi asm you have generated in school activi ties during the past year. Although you will be departing Grant, you will be leaving behind a fine record of accomplishments and achievements which will do much toward stimulating interest and involvement in other classes. Your most recent endeavor, Senior Week, must be regarded as an especially successful class activity. Truly, you have established yourselves as an enterprising class. Congratulations to you on a most suc cessful year and best wishes for con tinued success. George A. Galati Red Cross; mental health; Also, we will recall that the Holly wood Lions gave $850 to AFS, so we could have our exciting exchange stu dent—Iko Tanaka. But especially, we will remember the Grant Dads and the PTA for their con certed efforts to better this school and the surrounding community. We thank the Dads for helping us put on “Bye Bye Birdie,” and we thank the PTA for help ing to make the Cake Walk at the Carni val such a success. We thank you all for the support, fi nancial and moral, for all the things you’ve done. The contributions have truly been marvelous and magnificent. It is impossible to list, individually, all the things you’ve helped us do. The things aforementioned are only the “big” things you’ve helped us with. The small things are too numerous to mention. And we can’t price what you’ve done, because it’s immeasurable. But you have helped us beyond our highest expecta tions. GRANT HIGH STUDENTS THANK YOU, COMMUNITY! e c i by Margaret Hadden and Martha Ojard “A time it was and what a time it was.” This has been a year of many changes and events..

Willard Mohn proved what a small group of con cerned individuals can do when well organized and devoted. This was ob vious in such successes as Earth Day, Macbeth, the Paperback Book Drive, various fund raising projects and Black Culture Week, to only touch a few. The results of cooperation were very well displayed as more than three thousand dollars was raised by Guy Burkhardt, the injured wrestler. Spring brought many other events as plans for new English electives and other new courses: among these are plans for a vocational automotive shop. February proved to be a bad month as the library was vandalized, result ing in $5,000-$7,000 damage. The end of Baccalaureate was the top news as the traditional ceremony was voted out and later reinstated. Senior Week boasted an assembly which presented Senior Bests and locker decoration awards. The high light of Senior Week was undoubt edly the Senior Prom, which was held Saturday at the Town Hall. And undoubtedly one of the great est and most pleasant surprises (at least for seniors) was the early dis tribution of Memoirs. Comments varied, but most often was heard the exclamation that “it’s the best we’ve had in years.” The last week for Seniors was a busy one and kind of sad. A week from today the halls will be less 680 people. But we’re sure that those 680 will never be forgotten nor will they ever forget Grant High. It seems sure though that they will continue to ask themselves how the year could take so long to go so fast. Generalities Diane Cedros’ five freshman English classes have collected nearly 10,000 Betty Crocker coupons to help out in a general community drive for 640,000 of them, enough to provide the Kidney Association of Oregon a free dialysis machine that could be used for saving lives. Mrs. Cedros reports the following class records to date: First Period—4,935; Sixth Period—3,186; Third Period— 1,112; Second Period—189; Seventh Period—180. The campaign began May 15 when Mrs. Cedros discussed the project with Chuck Foster, kidney association execu tive and husband of Betty Foster, drama teacher. The five English classes decided, to compete against each other for the prize—a party to be given by Mrs. Cedros! One girl brought 1,197 coupons col lected in a single day! The students go door to door, ask friends, call their parents at business offices, resort to many devices in the< massive effort, even accumulating out dated but acceptable Betty Crocker coupons. Room 39 is headquarters for the drive, and Mrs. Cedros and her class would appreciate anyone who would like to contribute to the cause. She has already recruited her husband, Hank Cedros, in the campaign. He’s a teacher at Milwaukie High where he has the whole freshman class involved in the project.
