Advisors: Miss Habèrlach and Mr. Howard This week finds—Mel McLarty (Miss Cupid) promoting a little affair between Laverne Main and Howard Berry (I wonder if La verne and Howard know any thing about it, silly question is- ’nt it?) —One of our yell leaders stoking a stogy at a local brawl joint. (Today I am a man)—Bob Baker in an evolved affair over getting or was it not getting a date with little Audrey. It’s too complicated to explain so you will have to figure it out for yourself, and maybe somebody got their wires crossed and there isn’t any truth to it after all — And now for the gem of my col umn the survey I promised you. The conductor of this survey is none other than Miss (Dimples) Huiras who was awarded the as signment strictly on her merit as a journalist? Well here goes for the survey. Of the male popula tion of our fair high school. Re member this is still an incom plete survey and I will be glad to print a retake if you students so desire—The incomplete sur vey results as follows: The award for the most popu lar peepers went to Dave Wil liams who has the cutest sayr what are the color of your eyes, anyway, Dave?—The award for the best physique accompanied by a large economy size box of one a day brand vltamine tab lets, went to Harold Ness—The award for the best hair also ac companied by an honorary award of a permanent wave at Clancey McSlug’s Beauty Shoppe went to Bud (Curley) Merkle, with Ike Ivans running a close second— Red (Legs) Eaden earriad the field in the race for the honor of having the cutest under-pin- nings.

She has decided to resign from her job as a secretary so that she will be able to spend more time at home, doing her home work more effectively. When we stop to think about all that she has done for us and the school as a whole, we realize that we will regret when we have to see her leave.. It takes tact to be able to sit behind a desk; answer questions and write out tardy slips both at the same time, answer the telephone in a sweet voice when it seems almost impossible, keeping the files in order, write letters, and one of the most difficult tasks of them all, trying to keep records and attendances of students, which is not a very easy job. Mrs. Smith has done all these duties and many others, too numerable to mention, which makes our report for her excellent in all respects. Miss Rose Frandrich from Hogg Brothers will take her place and we all hope that she will fulfill her job as well as Mrs. Smith has in the past.

Students Worry Over Exam Days By LOIS BUTLER Last Monday a small percent age of our fair student body ap peared at school wearing a wor ried look in their beautiful hazel eyes or blue or brown as the case may be. Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday the number increased slightly and by Friday it had jumped alarmingly. Per haps our good readers are ask ing thé cause of this undue con cern. The answer, my friends, is that exams will be held Tues day and Wednesday, January 15, and 16. The schedule for the tortures to be inflicted upon our torment ed souls is as follows: TUESDAY First Period ...... .... 8:30-10:00 Second Period ... .....10:15-11:45 Noon Hour ............11:45-12:45 Third Period .......... 12:45- 2:15 Assembly........... .... 2:15- 3:15 WEDNESDAY Fourth Period ... 8:30-10:00 Fifth Period ... 10:15-11:45 Noon ............. ,.... .... 11:45-12:45 ... 12:45- 2:00 Sixth Period Seventh Period ....... 2:10- 3:30 went to the sixth period library bavorite Rudy, Elligsen—Now we come to the award for the most perfect gentleman (?) Now girls surely wendve someone at West Linn who fills the requisites of a perfect gentleman. Come on now, at least one of you have an opinion—that I can print—(No! I can’t print that. Tsk Tsk. Shame on youse) Oh well, un daunted I still carry' on and I will find that perfect gentleman if it is the last thing I do—And’ what’s this, here at the end-—Oh yes, an award for being the most lazy, disreputable bounder, gross nincompoop, all around fall guy, and general dope, which went to —say! this is my name, look here! you can’t do this to me in my own column, I won’t stand for it. I’m going home and tell mamma on you—. WE hope that every student in West Linn High School will strive to fit him self for the greatest service to the U.S.A, during the coming semester.
