Features Irrigon
School Reunion
The Irrigon High school re
union, held in the school cafe
teria Sunday, September 2 was
declared a smashing success by
the 90 alumni and their families
attending.
Assembling around noon, the
group renewed old acquaintan
ces and viewed an array of snap
shots from "days gone by."
Harvey Warner, Irrigon's coun
ty school board member, offered
thanks over the meal which was
served at 2:00 p.m. Following the
potluck a varied and interesting
program was presented, with La
Velle Partlow presiding as mas
ter of ceremonies.
After a session of group sing
ing, which included "School
Days" and some of the Irrigon
school songs, recognition was
given to each class represented.
Recognition for the alumni trav
eling the farthest distance went
to Ed Houghton and his son,
Tom, who came from Chathan,
N. J. Recognition of the class
with 1007c attendance went '.o
Batie Rand, class of 1920. Batie
was the only one graduating
that year, and also the last per
son to be graduated from the
old school building.
Various alumni gave accounts
of amusing incidents which oc
curred during their high school
days.
A trio, Zepha Warner, Dolores
Pummel and LaVelle Partlow,
sang, "United Then," in memory
of departed alumni.
Highlight of the clay was a
talk by Ed Houghton, who has
recently attained recognition
with his participation in the Tel
star project. Ed supervises the
Bell Labs Group which devised
a microwave power monitor,
part of the satellite communica
tions equipment. He told of some
of his experiences in the Telstar
program.
Ed mentioned that it was es
pecially rewarding to those
working with Telstar to know
they were not working on some
thing that would destroy the
world, or be used in a national
warfare, but rather, the JTelstar
project is planned to promote
internal lonal peace. Ed also em
phasized the fact that graduat
ing from a small high school
is no hindrance to becoming
successful in any branch of life
one chooses, irrigon's A. C.
Houghton school was named for
Ed's father.
