This week finds—Mel McLarty

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

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. Legs was disqualified in
the last survey because of inelig-
iblity—The award for being the

call me Andy) Swan, with Cap
Kruse that Lochinvar of Frog
Pond placing a very close second
—The award for the cutest blush
SECRETARY LEAVES
Beginning the second semester Mrs. Smith, West Linn
High Schoofs secretary will not be with us any longer. 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.
