'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

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

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!

vious in such successes as Earth Day,

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.
