There were about 200 in atten- dance for the event, which fea- tured a prime rib dinner by Vic Kee and staff. The guest speaker was Most Worshipful Brother Arthur L. Borland, Grand Master of Masons in Oregon. He talked about Freemasonry and his- torical information about Ben- jamin Franklin and his vari- ous contributions as a man and Mason. Gateway Lodge 175 is the fi rst Masonic Lodge in Oregon to hold a high school honor stu- dent banquet. Ervin L. Atkins Sr., a woodshop and mechan- ical drawing teacher at WHS, thought of the idea in 1960. He, along with lodge brothers, John T. Carden and Forrest Hensley, presented the idea to Gateway Lodge for consideration, and the idea was adopted. The following scholarships were awarded: $4,000 to Ray- mond Alcobendas, Krista Mor- rill, Nathan Ruscheinsky and Gabrielle Schenbeck; $3,000 to Ryan Laforteza; $2,000 to Katelynn Blodgett, Brenna Flores-Borup, Luke Liljen- wall, Sierra Lyons and Taylor Owens; and $1,500 to Rachel Najera.
