0. C. Game
Feature Tonight
West Linn and Oregon City
will go at it again in their anc
ient fued Thursday night at 8
on the West Linn maple. 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.

Lions Victor Over
Tigers 39 to 32
The Students of West Linn
were treated to a real thriller of
a basketball game Friday after
noon between the local Lions
and the visiting Tigard Tigers.
Tigard won the game 39 to 32
and were never behind and at
one time in the first half, were
twelve points ahead, but the
Lions roared back and within a
few minutes were on the tails of
the Tiger. The half ended with
the score of 22 to 20. The second
half went slower with less scor
ing being done, but Tigard man
aged to draw away mainly be
cause of their hot shooting which
was the deciding factor of the
game.
Tigard was paced by Art Jen
sen, who demonstrated much ab
ility in shooting and ball hand
ling. He was high point man
with 13 points.

hoop squad trekked to Canby for
what proved to ber a runaway
for the Lions, as thhey triumph

In the second period the Lions
started to gain niomentum as
they scored six more points and
held the Cougars to only one
goal, apd the half ended 12 to 8.

in the third quarter and smoth

by much rough play and a lot
of fouls on the Cougars as they

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.
