FOOTBALL STORY
Helen Young looks in awe at the labor
atory equipment, on a recent field trip
to Pennsalt Chemical Corporation, Port
land, Oregon.
STUDENTS TO PENNSALT
The thre consumer chemistry
classes were recent visitors at the
Pennsalt Chemical Plant, Portland,
Oregon.
As soon as we arrived off the
bus we went into the main office
and signed the guest register. Af-
groups with eight people in a
group. Our guide gave each of us
a hard hat to wear on our tour.
We started with the huge piles of
salt. Our guide told us that the
salt used at the plant is sea salt
and taht it comes from Lower Cali
fornia. It is brought to Portland
four times a year by ship.
Pennsalt recovers all kinds of
different chemicals which are
present in the seat salt such as;
hydroxides of sodium and potas
sium, and ammonia.
It took over three hours to tour
the entire plant but everyone who
made the trip thought it was worth
it.
Sometimes the record does not
do justice to the team, and that is
the way most students feel about
this years gridders. While the seas
ons total stacks up to a 3 win 6 loss
record, the Braves played some
very fine ball and proved to every-
ones satisfaction that they were
able to stay in there and take it
when the going got tough. Many of
the boys are experiencing their first
taste of any kind of contact sport.
Outsized by almost every team they
played the Braves showed their
courage against tough opposition.
