SOCIETY CHIT-CHAT
By JUNE SMITH
The excitement of graduation and
the ending of school days fills the
air. Of greatest interest to the
younger generation was the banquet
and junior-senior prom held last
Saturday evening. The banquet was
held at 6:30 at the Parish House with
ladies of the Episcopal auxiliary
serving the dinner. The decorations
were most attractive, featuring the
class blue and white colors. Stream
ers of crepe paper ran down the ta
bles, with bunches of pansies and
baskets of iris adding gaiety. In
front of the speaker's table a large
HHS was placed. Calvin Crawford
acted as toastmaster, with comments
given by Alden Blankenship, Robert
Knox, Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, Hugh
Crawford, Charles Barlow, Miss Leta
Humphreys, Charles Jones and
Claude Snow, newly elected student
body president. The program con
sisted of a solo by Patty O'Hara, one
by James Kenny, a trio by Peg Tam
blyn, Patty O'Hara and Dorotha
Wilson, and presentation of the key
to Calvin Crawford by Dubby Aik
en. Patrons and patronesses for the
affair were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ai
ken and Mrs. Lera Crawford.
The prom was pronounced one of
the most beautiful and successful
ever given here. The decorations
were based on a Hawaiian motif,
with the gym decorated to resemble
the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian
hotel. Blue and white crepe paper
made a false ceiling, while the walls
were enhanced by panels by Mildred
Clary and Claudine Drake repre
senting Hawaiian scenes. A large
outrigger canoe was drawn up on
the "beach," and outdoor furniture
was placed around the walls. The
bandstand was made to resemble a
hut, with music supplied by the
"Men About Town." Mary Eleanor
Florence was queen of the prom, and
was escorted in by Hugh Crawford,
student body president. Hawaiian
girls served punch, and two songs
were offered by the girls trio.
The graduation exercises of the
eighth grade class were held at the
gymnasium Tuesday evening. In
vocation was pronounced by Rev.
James Wilkins, and the address giv
en by J. O. Turner. Mrs. Lucy Rod
gers presented diplomas to the 16
graduates, and Mrs. Harry Tamblyn
presented the American Legion Am
ericanism awards. First place for
the girls was given to Jean Turner,
with Marylou Ferguson and Kathryn
Howell tied for second, while Ted
Ferguson received first for the boys,
and Raymond French, second. Class
songs were sung, with Patty Kenny
presenting the song for which her
words were selected.
A prom for the young graduates
followed, with music furnished by
the high school members of the
band.
Mr. and Mrs. LeGrand Guild of
Snohomish, Wash., arrived last Fri
day for a visit with Mrs. Guild's
mother, Mrs C. C. Patterson. Mr.
Guild returned to his home Mon
day, while Mrs. Guild and two chil
dren will remain for several weeks.

Encouragement Given
REA Cooperative
All possible cooperation will be
given by its administration to bring
Bonneville power to the Mid-Columbia
Electric Co-op, REA cooper
ative, said Henry Baker, co-op pres
ident following a conference with
Bonneville officials in Portland last
Friday. E. E. Rugg, secretary-treasurer,
and Victor Rietmann a direc
tor of the co-op, accompanied Mr.
Baker. A short hearing before Paul
J. Raver. Bonneville administrator,
and a lengthy conference with other
officials assured the local men that
every effort would be made to work
out a feasible plan for delivering
Bonneville power to the "A" part
of the local project, including Mor
row and Gilliam counties, as soon
as lines require energy. The "B"
portion of the project in Wheeler
and Grant counties is also included
in this plan, said Mr. Baker, and it
is hoped to resume development of
REA in this area in the near future.
Final approval from Bonneville is
expected within a few days.
Despite efforts the local project
was unable to present project maps
and data to Washington in time for
allotment of 1940 funds, Mr. Baker!
said. An allotment for construction
may be coming soon atfer July 1,
when the next appropriation is avail
able, provided the requirements are
met.
It has first been required that all
thin taps from main lines must be
deleted unless member or members
so located are willing to finance cost
of constructing the line In excess of
one mile per customer. REA will
build one mile per customer toward
any customer leading off the main
line, and entitles each customer so
served to the same low minimum as
customers who can be served under
the mile-per-customer limitation.
Secondly, REA has conditioned al
lotment upon securing a reasonable
and adequate power supply, which
inspired the conference last Friday.
In a later announcement this
morning Mr. Baker said that 65 per
cent of the tangent signers so far ex
pressing themselves are in favor of
standing the extra cost of line con
struction to their places. Mr. Baker
urges all signers to return question
naires at once as the Washington
office is awaiting the information.
