The game should be close and the team that fights the hardest will probably take the game. O. C. has the most wins j so far this Reason, but hasn’t played as many big teams as the Lions. West Linn has the edge on the back board, but the Pioneers are good on fast breaks, so it should be a thriller. Come out and help your team.

TO THE SENIORS Our Sincerest Congratulations FASHIONS Garysburg Address By JEANNE EMMONS The Senior class party last Frida night has the school talking about some of the latest fashions. The girls came sem- formal along with most of the boys, while a few boys wore slacks and sweaters. Light blue and black seemed to be sported the most. The Bragg sisters, and Rose Vedder looked sophisticated in their black dresses and black sandals. Elaine Hellberg had on a very pretty pale blue dress with sandals to match, and Marion White also had a two pieced light blue outfit with the ever popular sandals. Joanne Emmons offered quite a cantrast in a cute bright red dress with gold buons and three quartered sleeves along with red shoes and red flowers. 6 in her halt. Bonnie Baty had on a long waisted black and white dreSs, and Isabel McLean looked aw fully cute in her tan suit and brown sandals. The most talked about, we believe, was the beautiful white orchid that Lee Bettinger gave Nadine Z. and also the beautiful orchid that Claudia Isham was wearing. Mary Kay Johnson looked espec ially nice in a brown, and powdered blue dress. Paty Brennan supported a darling blue street dress, and Beve Bu- chotz wore a lush velvet dress, with a sparkling diamond pin at the neck. One score oud four years ago our fathers brought forth on this hill a new high school, conceived with the best of intentions, and dedicated to the proposition that all eighth grade graduaes were not sufficiently educated. Now we have finished a great testing whether that high school or any high school so conceived and so dedicated can pass on education. We are met in a great hall of sorrow of that school. We have come to dedi cate a portion of that hall as a final resting place for those who here gave their souls that that school might live, it is alto gether fitting and proper that we do this. But* in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hollow these corridors. The brave stu dents, passing and flunked, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The faculty will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but they can never forget what we did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be here dedicated to the great ex ams, remaining. before us—that from these honored martyrs we take increased devotion, to those studies for which thhey gave the last full measure of devotion— that we here highly resolve that these students shall not have flunked in vain — that this school, under Gary, shall have a new burst of passing grades— and that government of the fac ulty, by the faculty, for the fac ulty, shall not perish from the earth.
