Grove High School Class of '44 holds reunion (drafted) into active duty because of the age change to 18 prior to their graduation. A number of the young women of the class were contributing to the War effort by working at Columbia (later Geneva Steel), and other places. In all, it was a time of uncer-tainty and they all felt the unsecure feeling that pervaded the whole country at that time. For those young men and women who were in the Armed Services, no one of them lost their lives, due to the War, and for this they wore grateful. These tidbits of information were presented by Lowell Baxter, Master of Ceremonies. The Pleasant Grove High School Class of 1944 recently held its 44 year reunion at the Senior Citizen Center. Thirty-eigh- t class members were able to attend. Some came from as far away as California. Robert Hicks was chairman of the reunion. Committee members included Robert Monson, Glen Jorgensen, Maxine Adamson, George R. and Ruth Paul and Lowell and Barbara Baxter. The reunion began at 5:30 p.m. with a welcome, get acquainted activities and photographs. Dinner was catered by Millars. During dinner they played re-corded music from the '40's. Bobbie Jean and Lowell Duvall played and sang several numbers. Bob Hicks and Bob Monson sang two songs as a duet. Robert Hicks gave a readingand Lowell Baxter was Master of Cere-monies. To date, fourteen members of the class of '44 have died but none lost their lives in World War II. The class plans to meet again for its fiftieth anniversary in 1994.

Gasoline, sugar, meat, shoes and tires were rationed. Most consumer goods, such as sheets, towels, cookwear, canned goods, paper products, and many items of clothing were onlv obtain-able on the Black Market.

New members are Sandra Brooks, Avis Fugal West and Edna Fugal Holdaway. Geneva Peterson, lesson leader, presented a very interesting lesson on "Immigrant Pioneers." The dictionary defines an im-migrant as a "person who came to a country for the purpose ot per-manent residence.' A detailed history of three such immigrant pioneers was given: Johannes Gerber and family came from Switzerland to Utah about 1853; Lemuel S. Leavitt, born in Canada in 1827, who brought his family to Utah in 1850; and Rasmus Peter Christensen, a native of Denmark, who arrived with his family in Utah in September 1861 and was one of the original settlers of Manti and later Moroni in Sanpete County. Beth Edvalson led the group in singing a very appropriate song, "When They're Gone Do Not Forget Them," and prayer was offered by Rebecca Watson. Alton Atkinson, camp captain, conducted the meeting. Members voted to make a cash contribution to the restoration project of the Fairfield school, which project is underway at this time. 3&kT ALPINE CENTeT l Mffli 7 Mental Hei JMJj , Human Services rJrfb Anthon)l J' , 120 N. 1220 E., Suite 11 American Fork, Utah 84001 756-366- Positive Distractions The "little things in life" i count, because they can fill upot lives on a without them, people m feel empty, bored and isolate Seldom do we think about to important these little things are us until we lose all motivation an: desire due to depression, lite people feel depressed, they tend to withdraw from the things Ilia: give them pleasure, perpetuating a downward spiral.
