This game ended the season with a victory for the team and also a victory for the seniors who will be able to say that in all four years they attended West Linn the teams have won every game played on the West Linn field. This is a record for them and they can be proud to say that they helped to keep it. We won’t forget so soon the victories that the team- has brought to West Linn this year or the work and time that the coaches have spent in preparing the boys for the games. Now the season will turn to basketball and different boys will be the heroes. Let’s make their games as successful in spirit and victories as the football games have been this year.

(The dirt dished out in this co lumn is the fiendish invention of New Student The old adage, “Nothing new under the sun” has again been disproved in the form of Bob Holt. Bob has made it clear that he intends to grace the halls of I West Linn for one and a half I years. Bob started at Canby the first year, made his letter in cross country and track. The second year was started at Lincoln and there he again made his letter. In his third year he started at Beaverton, but upon seeing the deadly trouncing handed to1 Beaverton by West Linn Lion varsity men, nothing could stop him from being a member of the progressive Lions. “Women,” said Bob, “are the spice of life and I like my food well seasoned.” A description of his last affair sounds oh, so good; black hair, five feet eight inches and from the movement of the hands, some torso. Mickey Mouse is tops for en tertainment, and when I’m down in the dumps, said Bob, I head for a picture with your dream and mine, Deanna Durbin. Bob said the tariff should def initely lowered and if I knew what it means quote, I would say more, end of quote. The school really welcomes Bob and we feel sure Mr. Fors will call personally. the author alone and does not express the opinion of the Ampli fier staff. Also any resemblance this copy may have to any liter ary style, living or dead, is pur ely accidental.—Feature Editor.)
