Advisors: Miss Haberlach and Mr. Howard LET'S TAKE AN INTEREST Next Tuesday voters all over the nation will go to the polls to cast their vote for the persons they feel are most suited for the offices. Although we as students cannot vote, here at West Linn there has been much discussion about can didates on either side. Since we are to be the future voters of this country (many will be able to vote in the next presi dential election) and possibly office holders, this is a favor able sign for it shows that we, the future voters, are taking an active interest in the fate of our nation. Especially in times like these, it is necessary that an interest be shown in the govern ment and that people should in an openminded and clear thinking way, by means of voting let their choice be known. Only by voting for the candidates we feel are fit ones for office and by doing our own thinking can we preserve our democratic form of government which, by the way, is the TiTSnt OftS i A l rtiies 'worFd.' DREAMS DO COME TRUE For years West Linn has needed a new piano to go along and accompany their fine music instruments. This year the dream of our music department has been fully realized. Miss Yost and Mr. Wade investigated many different makes of pianos. The result was a purchase of a new Stein way. This fine piano was delivered to the high school Tuesday of this week and has already won enthusiastic praise from the ones that have heard it. The purchase of the new piano makes it possible for the old piano to be moved into the supply room thus giving extra practice room. When Miss Yost first saw the piano she said “My isn’t it lovely.” When Mr. Wade saw it and as well as the rest of the students at West Linn he said, “Dreams do come true.” ing highways etc. And this com mittee, Congressman Mott is (Continued from Page 1) ranking member which means the state belong to the govern that if the republicans have a ment.

DUSTBOWL Six weeks slips coming out with Milton Bucklin’s track slip getting mixed up with Melvin Buckles. Elton Schmitz asleep in class again as usual. Lorraine Payne seen coming home from the last few football garner with Walter Denley, class of ’38. Leo Critchfield has carried the same blue and yellow ribbons around in his slicker pocket for over a month. Sentimental rea sons? Maybe! Dorthea Dempsey and John Stone flinging insults and books at each other on the bus. Straight hair and bandanas in evidence the past week since the tank has been opened. Johnny Morrison passing out chewing tobacco on the bus to several boys. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Yes, Dudley Titus and Catherine Cushman—when you did succeed in putting that mouse in the library desk you should have tried again. Audrey Gary’s white cat got into the girls’ locker room. (By mistake?) but was swiftly turned out again. The typing classes had a lot of fun typing to music. Dwain Wanker and Richard McMullen playing poker on the way home from school. Several boys at the Hillsboro- West Linn game sinfully guzzl ing apple juice. (Shame on youse boys). Friday, November 1, 1940 Flashes Around the Campus By MARJORIE HUIRAS “Roses are red, Violets are blue Fire Chief red Looks good on you.” Fire Chief red seems to hold top honors in W. L. girls list, at least it appeals to the following girls: Betty Helsby and Dolores Wilkins both have bright red, long sleeved sweaters, Betty’s be ing a slip over sweater and Do lores’ buttons up the front. Betty Davis, Laverne Maine etc., have the long Fire Chief red jackets, with patch pockets (pretty handy too, aren’t they girls?) Georgia flashes around school in a F. C. red shorty skirt with a bright patent leather belt to match. Enough said about red. Let’s skip around the campus and pick up a few other highlights in fashion. If you have seen Marian Nel son’s new bright plaid ¡dress, you’ll know what I mean when I say “she should make herself the center of attraction at any football game.” Swede is taking its first steps in popularity at West Linn, and Gloria Smith is right in line to help its popularity group. Gloria wore a dark green skirt, with a white dressmaker shirt, topped with a waist length na tural swede, sleeveless jacket that is adjustable in back. It’s a very smart combination for football games and just school. Betty Young marks the style with a clever reversible, being a very deep wine corduroy on one side, while on the other a snappy rain coat. Suzy Zimmerman still keeps her pretty legs covered with her knee length hosery (that’s O. K. Sue, the stockings are cute too.) I’m signing off now, but just for remembrance I’ll leave this: “Listen my children And you shall hear Oscar’s doggers All through the year.” Don’t Forget to Stop in and Try Our Special MILK SHAKES BONNIE and CHARLIE Theatre Ice Cream Store Best Wurlitzer Music in the Country OSWEGO OREGON ..............................
