BUY A SUBSCRIPTION For the past week many students have been wondering what this announcement meant: FIFTEEN NEWS PACKED ISSUES! SAVE MONEY RATES: 50 cents for S. B. Members. 65 cents for non S. B. Members. It has appeared on the board of each classroom in school and has aroused considerable interest among the students. To most Sophomore, Juniors and Seniors these words almost but for the benefit of fiew schol- the meaning is this: This year in order to have a printed school newspaper it was <Jei!lUe4 to have subscription prices. This was the re sult of price increase in printers’ supplies and wages. At first some students might complain saying that this is too much to pay for a school newspaper. Then when they stop to consider how much is being spent for “out of school affairs” it will help you to see that this is a very small sum of money to support your most popular school activity. HEY FRESHMAN! Come on! You frosh, this is the best year for you to enter into one of your favorite sports.

Let’s get behind the school and put student activities over the top. A good way to start this is by everyone purchasing a student body ticket as soon as possible. , I’m sure we’ll have a very successful year if everyone Inquiring Repporter will support all school affairs. Sincerely, What students think of a study WILLIAM LARSON, hall with a student in charge? Student Body Pres. Elaine Crader couldn’t study Can it be possible that there will not be an exhibition from the band this year? Imagine a grandstand well filled, without a band performing. Why it’s like having a chicken dinner without the chicken. Taking a census we find a scar city of members; there are fourteen that have graduated or left school. -And ten who have not as yet reported to band practice. Newly elected officers were Clayton Baker, manager, and Bonnie Baty, assistant manager, of the band. Sincerely, WL STUDENT. CAFETERIA SITUATION The war seems to have brought on a new problem. Coke, sandwiches, and ice cream make up the main menu in our cafeteria; yet our health teachers say, “Proper diet is essen tial to good health.” Would it be too much to demand a hot dish every day of the week?

Corny Nichles hit seventh heaven when Art H. hit West Linn, and speaking of heaven, Willa W. is there, too. The Alas kan boat has finally hit port. Suzy E. is going places for her Freshman year but she is only interested in a certain well known senior. High aim, huh, Suzy?? Gwen M. and Ralph Motile are reportedly still going strong. Think it will last? Isabel McLean . . .-Now that Tom is out of the picture how about giving the West Linn Wolves a chance? Louise Jent is still hoping for a little attention from C. J. Barbara P. seems to be sadly crooning “Don’t Get Around Much "Anymore.” The girls are now taking up a collection to get Jim J. and C. Marx a hair cut. They also hope B. Larson will be o.k. soon to continue with his regular tac tics. Bob Robinson . . . Are you try ing to imitate Clark Smith, or what?? Hoberg . . . Why don’t you give D.

Matching pennies. Estelle Mathews thinks the idea is alright. It depends who. Betty Olson, a new freshman, likes a study hall with a stu dent in charge because she can talk more. Eloise Tapfer made the simple statement, “Lots of fun.” Mary Schlickeiser doesn’t Bob Bradley says a student for a study hall teacher is alright if think there’s much order. the students will co-operate with Eleanor Souci says it’s fun. them, but so few will co-oper Bev Buchholz doesn’t like a ate. The students have the idea study hall with a student in they can run over the student charge. Virginia McCart stated, “It’s teacher. “That’s a hint stu- swell.” The Chemistry Students have so far not indulged in fumiga tion of West Linn, but are learn ing quite fast. * * * West Linn’s lass is Medford’s gain.

All solid color and with —but we can’t tell you about it until after the first game of the season, when the coming out party will feature them. Who are these cuties?
