A LATER COMMUNICATION
A couple of weeks ago we ran a “local” telling of
a letter dropped from the air onto our campus by Mr.
Lee Eyerly, of aircraft fame. We have just received
another most interesting note from Mr. Eyerly and
for reasons which are obvious we are pleased to pub
lish it, as follows:
“Thanks for the copy of The American wherein
you acknowledge receipt of our invitation to the sex
tet of lady vocalists for an airplane flight. I sincerely
hope that not only the young ladies in question will
have the opportunity to fly sometime, but that all of
you will fly.
“I am wondering if the school as a mass would like
to visit our airport? We not only fly but we build,
rebuild and repair airplanes, and it might be instruc
tive to them. I am sure they are all welcome to come
at any time.”
There now! As quoted above, it is plain that Mr.
Eyerly has not only extended a much-appreciated in
vitation to our sextet of vocalists to try flying, but in
addition has suggested a visit to his airport where
much information of value evidently awaits all who
will take advantage of his gracious offer. It seems to
us that here is a grand chance for Mr. Allen, our shop
instructor, to pull off a master stroke by taking some
of our shop boys on a tour of inspection that undoubt
edly would be of both interest and value to them.
We are all grateful to Mr. Eyerly for his kind invita
tion and his interest in our school.
Our basketball team was given a taste of defeat last
Tuesday evening a week when they came home on
the short end of 35 to 22 from Monmouth high school.
Monmouth broke away to a big lead early in the first
quarter and kept a flow of balls passing through the
basket almost from the start of the game. Monmouth
seemed able to score from almost any distance or angle.
After a series of quick, snappy passes their forwards,
guards cr center would cut loose with a shot, which
our defense apparently figured impossible, but invari
ably ended up by piercing the hoop. This lack of
quick, aggressive checking coupled with Monmouth’s
uncanny ability to make the basket was largely re
sponsible for the big score against us. We had a
fairly tight five-man defense, but Monmouth shot
over it with telling effect.
Only in the third quarter did our team put up any
thing like an even battle. With the opening of this peri
od and the score 22 to 7 against us, our five turned
loose a swift and determined attack that closed up
the big gap that greatly separated the two scores before
Monmouth seemed to wake up to the fact that their
big lead was dwindling away.
However, they got
their long range guns working again to make every
thing absolutely safe for Monmouth.
Leonard Vivette and Dominic Dog Eagle, forwards;
Andrew Hatfield, center; William Jones and Albert
Miller guards; showed plenty of possibilities in the
third period but for the other three quarters encoun
tered any amount of difficulty in handling the ball.
Poor passes and fumbles just at the wrong time were
painfully numerous. Because of these errors they
lost themselves several seemingly certain points.
After a week on the mat Coach Sanders took his
wrestlers to Oregon City last Tuesday evening where
both teams struggled desperately to win an exciting
and interesting match which ended 60 to 60. The
entire contest was just as even as the score. Leroy
Pepion, one of our veterans, was the only one to win
by two straight falls. Frank Dumont won his match
by decisions. Roland Booth lost the first by a decision
and won the second by a fall. Matthew James lost
by two straight falls. George Goujon was the surprise
package of our team when he won over an aggressive
opponent by two decisions. Peter McClusky lost the
first by a decision and won the second by a fall. Ira
Booth lost his match by two straight decisions. George
Pepion won his first bout by a fall and lost the second
by a decision. Ray Charles was injured at the start
of his match so was not able to continue. However,
it was only slight and he is in good shape now. Soon
we hope to have the Oregon City team here. With
both teams so evenly matched we are sure of an even
ing of excitement.
