If any students deserve credit for work accomplished, they are the ones in the Art class who have spent many hours of their spare time in labor ing on the numerous posters that you have seen around school at different times. These students who have devoted their study periods to work on decorations for different occasions and to make pictures for decorating the halls really deserve thanks. Next time you see a picture or a poster remember that sometimes hours of works have been ^pent creating them. If you wish to thank these students and show that you . appreciate their work, see to it that these pieces of art re main unmarked or unaltered in any way. May Day to Be Year's Crowning Point With the May Day season within one month, the students of West Linn are beginning to prepare for the festivities. This is the big event of the high school year and if all of the student body get behind it this year, as they have for all of the other activities during the year were will all be able to say that 1944-45 was the best school year, crowned with an extraordinary May Day. Wes Stauffer will handle the managerial position and if any student has any new ideas they would be accepted gladly by him or the faculty member in charge. This might be your last opportunity to do-^mething for, your school, so if you have no ideas, you might serve in some other way. Locker Speaks I’m a locker standing in West Linn halls. Every day I’m seen but not noticed. I must be misnamed for in the dic tionary it is said I’m used for a place of security but it doesn’t go that way in West Linn. I am also afraid that I’m falling down on my job as a place of security for valuables. True, I hold no great riches but I do take care of books, coats and purses. However, it isn’t entirely my fault when the things with which I am en trusted disappear, for my owners should keep me locked. The thing I dislike the most is facing strange people who peer into me and then take my owner’s belongings. Even my owner mistreats me at times by throwing a book carelessly into my hupible structure. Besides all this I am even sometimes beaten until I look like a Model T Ford or a demolished junk pile. Locks are made to keep dishonest, people out but even these locks can not always hold when recklessly handled. Yes, it would help my appearance a lot by strangers keeping out and my owner keeping a little better care of me. TO THE EDITOR: I would like to commend the stu^epjts who participated in the Easter program for their splendidwork. We all know how difficult it is for them to get together and practice dur ing these busy school days. I think we owe these students a vote of thanks for presenting such an interesting program. —A Student.

Now you give up? ' With track season started, all the boys have an excuse for run ning in the halls. The girls legs are not quite as swollen with welts this week, a few of the sling-shot kids, have slackened off. The tennis fans seemed to not be the least bit disturbed by the wet court.

Ponna Little—By—Bob Wiev- esiek Students Work The following paragraph is taken from a paper prepared by Carl RenneWitz for a class in English One. The assignment was a short explanation of what adventure means to a person. It illustrates parti c u 1 a r 1 y clear thinking for a high school fresh man. We predict that Carl will graduate with honors. “ADVENTURE” Adventure to me is the “get up and go spirit” I have to do something to satisfy my desires. I have this eagerness when my mind wishes to pry into some thing yet unknown to it. It is the struggle connected with the accomplishment of som’et h i n g. An adventure, would not need to be pleasant, although we all try to forget the unpleasant, and try to avoid it. It may be an inci dent occurring in everyday life in which something—anything— is found out. I might even “stick my neck out” so far as to say that life is adventure—all of the time! — and that adventure is life itself . . . because you can not get away from anything from which your mind will not learn something.
