LA GRANDE â La Grande High School alum Kathy Rudd recently made a startling discovery â her schoolâs history is vanishing.
Rudd, with the help of Eric Freeman, the schoolâs assistant principal, was examining framed collections of LHS graduating class photos from 1924 to 2001. All had been taken down from the walls near the schoolâs main entrance so their condition could be examined. Rudd, a 1969 La Grande High graduate, found 33 picture frames present and 23 missing.
The good news is La Grande Highâs extensive yearbook collection will help fill a big part of the graduate photo void.
The school has yearbooks for 18 of the years the senior photo collections are missing. Rudd and Freeman plan to make copies of the photos of the seniors in those 18 annuals and put them in frames for their class so they can be on display at the school.
