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.”

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.”
