Attendance at a 50 year class reunion should be rewarded with
a badge of courage or survivorship. Underneath those wrinkles
and gray hair it's sometimes difficult to recognize those teenagers
that you once rubbed elbows with on a daily basis or punched
in the nose or even dated.
It's demoralizing to once again connect with former classmates
who never seem to gain weight or change. Unfortunately it's
usually the men. That's because macho guys never undergo
childbirth, become worrywarts or manage to ignore the strife of
rearing a family. How unfair that those scruffy, pipsqueak boys
turn into distinguished-looking men.
Though I wasn't a member of the class of 1945 celebrating their
50th reunion recently, I perceived this occasion as a time to re
mind those attending that regardless of their worldly status, I
should still be revered as an upper classmate, if only by one year,
as well as a hometown survivor.
Class reunions are a time to find out about accomplishments,
especially from those who are the biggest braggarts. When it
comes to grandchildren's pictures I suspect that some of those
photos are borrowed-my generation couldn't have handed down
that many high-quality genes.
It's also a time for some folks to revisit their roots except those
of us who never got far from the tree. Unlike metro areas, most
Heppner kids came up through the grades together, pimples and
all, while picking our noses and tinding ways to make sure that
others got into trouble.
Some of these alumni returnees even demonstrated their
physical stamina by playing golf. There wasn't a local golf course
in those-‘'good ol' days". But we could sure kick a ball around
a vacant lot when we weren't busy kicking each other. We also
played a mean game as hotshot baseball players on the rocky,
rough ground called lower field except when the ball ended up
floating down Willow Creek.
Betty Coxen Hoyt, still married to that handsome hunk from
,, the class of '43, reminisced about Heppner's changing face. Bet
ty's apparent fondness for sweets brought back memories of Scot
ty's ice cream parlor in the old Heppner Hotel building and the
demise of the building where her father once barbered wiggly
heads.
Somehow the class of '45 ended up with more male graduates.
Our class was down to about four boys by graduation time. For
our senior prom the girls often relied on male cousins, grabbed
a soldier on leave or stooped to dating an underclassman. Perhaps
our male classmates were run out of town by us gregariuos girls
or else we were known for giving the best going-away parties
as boys entered the military during World War II. It's a wonder
that any of us were allowed to graduate after student body
members banded together, goose-stepping in unison, and gave
Supt. George Corwin a Nazi-type salute.
How many of those class prophecies written in annuals came
true? Guys like Jack Edmondson, Portland, talked about military
service and playing on championship football teams. As most
of that class gravitated to other areas, perhaps they've tacked
on some impressive titles as heads of corporations. Who would
have thought that the once-scrawny Jack Pickens, Spokane,
would spend 23 years in the Air Force and have another career
with the government? He certainly did grow up.
But then everyone in this class couldn't become notorious in
local circles like County Commissioner Raymond French or the
illustrous former Pendleton mayor Joe McLaughlin. Anyone who
ever knew Ted Ferguson would question his statement that he
maintains a low profile in Gold Beach, after retiring as the owner-
operator for 36 years of a men's clothing store. And how about
that "gone native" Freddie Rugg, who lives in Juneau, Alaska.
It was also heart-warming to hear former country bumpkins, Jean
Turner Runnion and Pat Kenny Erwin, complain about the con
gestion and traffic in their Willamette Valley area. Serves them
right for deserting my neighborhood. Nevertheless, it was great
to renew old acquaintances, even though they've aged better than
I have.

In an effort to obtain youth
input for the Commission on
Children & Families, two Youth
Advisory Committees will soon
be established, one in the north
and one in the south end of the
county. The committees will be
made up of youth volunteers
between 14-19 years of age
coming from all ethnic,
cultural, socio-economic and
educational backgrounds, said
a commission news release.
The committees will be super
vised by the commission staff
but in a "shadow leadership"
advisory role only. The teens
will develop their own by-laws,
goals and objectives, plan their
agendas, run the meetings and
will provide representation to
the Commission on Children &
Families.
According to Dar Merrill, ex
ecutive director for the commis
sion, there are several benefits
that will come from these youth
advisory committees. "The
committees provide oppor
tunities for youth to advise the
commission and other agencies
on issues, policies and pro
grams concerning children and
youth interests in Morrow
County," said Merrill. "They
provide a forum whereby
youth may have an input into
policy issues decided on by the
commission that directly im
pact youth. This will give com
mission members a greater
perspective of the issues at
hand and allow them to make
better informed decisions.
Secondly, the youth advisory
committees bring county youth
from various walks of life
together to work on issues that
they are jointly concerned
about. They will be able to in
fluence policy and really make
a difference in the community.
Thirdly, by participating on the
committees, the youth learn
skills in leadership, decision
making, group participation,
planning and community in
volvement. The skills learned
in the committees will augment
and put into practice those
things learned in school."
Further information and ap
plications for the Youth Ad
visory Committees can be ob
tained from school counselors
or through the Commission on
Children & Families by calling
676-9675.
