'Let It Snow'
Theme of Dance
“Let it Show, Let it Show, Let
it Snow,” dance was held by the
Pep club last Friday evening,
after that most exciting Hills
boro game. The dance turned out
“Swell,” because our team play
ed such a wonderful game, and
came the closest of any team in
the League to overscoring Hills
boro. The cafeteria was decorat
ed to represent snow, and a large
snow man on the wall. The dec
oration committee was headed
by Betty Jean Olson and Velma
Meadows. The Pep club wishes to
thank our chaperons, Mr. -and
Mrs. George, Mr. and Mrs. Mead
ows, Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter, and
Mr. and Mrs. Mills, for attend
ing.
Zoo Proposed
By Some Dear
West Linn Friend
West Linn has decided to in
stall a goo.
Perhaps you are wondering
what we should do for inmates
but we have quite a few running
around, now. We have our usual
supply of cats, both wild ones
and the tame variety that don’t
do their scratching until your
back is turned.
Of course, we have peacocks,
quite a few, in fact. Those are
the birds who parade up and
down in front of their audience
and display their colors. Some-
timeis they even borrow their col
ors from someone else. For in
stance, did
-notice o,i
bleached hair that appeared re-
cently?
There must always be monk-
eys in a zoo, and ours would be
no exception. We might capture
some of those who play during
noon hour up and down tre upper
hall. Of course, these don’t have
tails but what is the difference
so long as they act the £art. We
could not forget the crow. He
can do nothing but screech all
day long, be it good news or bad.
In every zoo, there is a giraffe.
They have long necks that reach
into atmospheres that ordinary
animals can not, often where
they should not. We always have
«elephants around, the kind with
long ears that hear and overhear
everything that, often enough, is
no business of theirs. With all
of our unfortunate inmates under
the roof of our zoo we would also
have the more common variety of
déer who are nice to look at, easy
to handle, and happy. Yes, we
do have a zoo already. There is
one difference. We do not us
ually hungèr after the food our
caretakers feed us. Perhaps a
zoo would do us a bit of good.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
Dear Miss A.
A group of girls run around
together and have for several
years. Not so long ago we dis
covered that one of us, let’s call
her “X” had taken up habitual
smoking, occasional drinking
and . . . the rest that goes with
it. Because we all like “X” very
much and don’t like this turn in
her life, we are greatly upset.
Long ago we all made resolut-
ions that if this would happen to
any of us, we would be dropped
from the ’’gang.” However that
is very difficult because “ X ”
sedihs to .have forgotten that
pledge and we are all in a very
difficult position. Please help
US/
Worried.
Dear “Worried’
Your trouble is definitely not
trival and what to advise you to
do is ja serious obligation to me
but, 1 will try.
“x” apparently is lonely, and
she thinks that by acquiring
these habits she might make
friends of persons who aye in the
same predicament. It is your
•incjude “X” in everything' you
do. This way she will be kept
busy and out of mischief; but if
she feels left out or insulted, “X”
will immediately take recourse
to her bad habits.
The way you treat “X” will
make her either right or wrong
for the rest of her life, so it is
your job to see that “X” is the
right sort of person. You are re
sponsible!

Seniors Apply
For Scholarships
Thanks to the Faculty
Members of the faculty as well as a few of the more
ambitious students seem to be starting the new semester off
with more determination in seeing things accomplished.
Everyone knows and sympathizes with MR. HENAGIN
and his numerous problems. We really appreciate the results
he is getting in the present “stay in school or else” campaign.
Speaking of problems, MISS GLEASON really has them.
Have YOU ever tried to maintain order and yet please every
one in a crowded study hall? Orchids to her for the fine
job she is. doing.
We have been seeing senior English students peering
endlessly into the dictionaries for the past few days. MRS.
COLTER surely is intent upon sending them out into the
world with an excellent vocabulary.
MR. CATHERWOOD really is enthusiastic about the bas
ketball team this season. That’s the way we like to see it
The student body should try to equal his spirit!
We never see MR. McDONNELL anymore. The reason:
He has to work so hard getting the copy ready for the Amp.
that he doesn’t have time to give out with his cheery greet*
ings.
From all appearances MR. BROWN is determined to make
his democracy classes study harder.
MISS McGUIRE seems to be making real cooks out of
the boys in her special class. At least they can nam*e the
utensils now.
We can’t give MISS BRUNNER enough praise for the ex
cellent job she is doing with the girls’ chorus.
MRS. MILLS thinks so much of her shorthand students
that she is giving them parties. My, but that cake looked
good!
MR. SHEARER and MR. MAIN seem to be set as exam
ples to many of the students. We would all be satisfied if.
someday we could be just half as smart as they are now.
Due to the paper shortage I have just been told to cut
it short so I will close by saying that we have a “swell”
group of faculty members and we appreciate their many
efforts in our behalf!
Dear Miss A.
My affliction is one that can’t
be corrected by "plastic surgery.
I have swivel-knees. There isn’t
one girl who can truthfully say
she can follow me in dancing.
Pretty soon I will have no one
left to dance with.
Desolate
Dear “Desolate”
On the contrary, all girls will
want to_ daJ3C^--with you if you.
tell them that you-ve learned a
new dance fuli of intricate steps.
Soon the girls Will learn how to
follow you and you will have
them pining to dance with you,
while the other boys will be try
ing to learn,, but will dismally
fail and make fools of them
selves.
Hortense.
How can I overcome this prob
lem without hurting Donna’s
feelings and still make her ap
pear tall?
D. N.
Dear “D. N.”
I’m afraid that your problem
is a duplicate of every man’s
problem; namely, women’s hats.
There is nothing that can be
done. So sorry!

Thursday the seniors filled out
applications for scholarships.
Each student filling an applica
tion was required to give his

grades. Among scholarships off
ered are certificates for Lewis
and Clark, Multnomah, Oregon
State, Marylhurst, Pacific and
Linfield colleges and the 'Uni
versity of Oregon.
My dear Hortense:

Dear Hopeless;

GETTING A PAPER OUT is
sometimes fun, but it is never a
picnic.
If we print jokes, people say
we are silly.
If we don’t, they say we are
too serious.
If we clip things from other
papers, we are too lazy to write
’em ourselves.
If we don’t, we are too fond of
our own stuff.
If we print contributions, the

CLASS PLANS TRIP
Thè Vocational Guidance class
under the direction of Mr. Frank
McDonnell, plans to tour the
Crown Willamette Paper Mill at
West Linn.
This is the first of a number of
visits which the class is planning
this term.
It is hoped that these trips to
industrial plants may help the
students to find a suitable occu-
pation and enable them to direct
their education toward that goal.
