Advisors: Miss Haberlach and Mr. Howard Basketball Carries On The West Linn football team played its last game of the season, Wednesday, November 20th, when they challenged Molalla. 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 t^ams 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. Student Round About School New The old adage, Dave Williams borrowing Mr. Nixon’s tie—Tom Arthur trying his best to ruin a tie lent him to wear when he had his annual picture taken — Jerry Larue throwing a party last Friday— Carl Erickson arguing desper ately against wearing a coat when he had his picture taken— Phyllis Gubser and Smoky An derson breaking up—Betty Tay lor fooling everybody about transferring to Grant—John Beut- ler hitting some wrong notes on the string base in assembly— Vernon Toedtemeier dreaming about a drum majorette—Certain die-hards watching the Molalla game fo the end despite the downpour — Debaters working hard to get their speeches in— Betty Easson, Audrey Church, Mary Jane Hill, Peggie McClure, Frances Bernert, Lois Butler, Lo ren Milliken and Glenn Campbell getting set for the radio forum today—Mel McLarty making quite a hit in assembly when she said “I’m supposed to be a flirt.” —Tom McGee trying to remem ber how the junior play ends— Betty Sturges raving about Pac ific U.—Lois Young wearing the same letterman’s sweater two weeks in succession—Leia Bam ford and Jack Hollenbeck tearing around together for awhile — Seniors hiding proofs from public eyes—Whistlers chorus making appearance in assembly—Shirley Crosby and Art Huebner getting along just grand these days. (The dirt dished out in this co lumn is the fiendish invention of “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 West Linn for one and a half 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 to 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.) Friday, November 29,1940 DUST BOWL Subtle Satire (Censored Version) Coach Brown and Mr. Gary pa rading in their bathing suits. Bernie Hermann with water dripping from him after some realist threw it over him—Ore gon City didn’t seem very pleased about one of the num bers our band played during the parade. It was “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” — Dwain Wanker better WATCH out! On one wrist he wears his watch and on the other a picture of Pat G. — Since when has Earl Harsberger become a busi ness man? He says that busi ness takes him out to Tualatin every night. I guess he is in the platinum (blonde) business — Harold Snider shaking ’in his boots when a cop stopped him. All the cop wanted, was to know if he was on Route 1 or Route 4. Whew!—Jack Reams must have his love to keep him warm. Anyway he has gotten rid of his sweater to Rosalie Zackery — Seniors complaining about their pictures, but what did they ex pect anyhow? The Whistling Chorus« trying between laughs and snickers to swing out the “Beer Barrel Polka”—Don Mar shall STILL (yet?) seen with Cladia Isham—Story book char acters of the week . . . Our hero, David Young; the villain, Charlie Marx; the light house, Arthur Huebner; last but not least, the heroine, “the (light) housekeep er’s daughter,” Ruben Baisch— Bernice Murray with two sopho mores on her hands. How does she do it? Nayda Geske blush ing violently when George Vla- hos asker her-----------? Roman togas, scrolls, wreaths and soap boxes, the latest fashion. For the initiates of the Speech Club anyway ■— Bill Walston calling Peggy Redhead out of third per iod history. Three seconds later Peggy comes back in, minus Bill’s jacket which she went out in. Quick change!!—Bud Jen nings complimenting little brother Jim’s choice at the Mol alla game. Jim’s choice ap peared to be Dehra Critchfield. This week finds — yours truly pondering a little story related to me by Violet Rothman. It goes something like this: “Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived next tQ a football hero’s house (I think his name was Steffen) who learned to play ping pong awfully well. Due of course to expert coaching.” Thank you very much Miss Roth man for that delightful little story. I am sure our readers will enjoy it—Bill Stevens was sup posed to be a great track star at a party last summer. Maybe he had too much pop (?.) to drink (paid advertisement by Audry Gary alias “Babe.” I think Stev ens^ gave her that nickname. She’s such pleasant company for him during sixth period study)— Kate Zivney quote: “Do you think I should let George kiss me tonight?” Unquote: Don’t get worried, she was only rehearsing a play during dramatics class (I think)—Jean Kyllo had her wardrobe all planned for the foot ball banquet and then what a disappointment— Someone told me that Tom Arthur is developing more than a little interest in a young thing at Lincoln. Well is there any truth in it Tom? Oh, you don’t say—Virginia Anderson pining pining her heart out for a certain football player whose name will be supplied by Miss Anderson on request— Peg McLure still corres ponding with that junior at Stan ford. Peg also has hopes of going to the Rose Bowl game just be cause she is so interested in foot ball—I told you readers I would keep you informed on the Whip ple Ray guerre d'amour, which in plain English means their struggle over that certain young lady, whose name I mispelled last time, so said Mr. Whipple. The latest reports are that Mr. Ray has the inside track with Mr. Whipple coming up fast on the outside. In a personal interview granted to your humble reporter by Mr. Ray, he told me in no un certain terms that Mr. Whipple was definitely out in the cold. Well Lochinvar, are you going to take that insult lying down? Question of the week—Whatever became of Student Government? Think that one over students! Gossip? That's Bight While roaming through the halls the other day Peter Blyth received a most welcome smile and wing from a cousin of Tom-: my Vanlanningham. You see we promised we wouldn’t mention her name. Bob Gillett seen courteously holding his coat in front of his eyes to give B. Walston and P. Rose a little privacy. Doris Draper seems to be mooning over a certain Halliday. Bob Gillett has been seen late ly escorting our new sheriff’s daughter. While (giving one day Bob received a most unwelcome slip of paper from the local gen darmes. 2 plus 2 equals— Did You Know Mr. Shearer hates bright finger nail polish and lipstick. Mr. Howard hates short skirts even if they are the style. Leo Critchfield doesn’t like one girl, he likes them all. Good boy that Critchfield. The Amplifier was strictly a Democratic paper during elec tion and still is.
