When spring comes, everyone has the urge to enjoy the sunshine; consequently, a few that can’t resist decide to “take off” without telling anyone. Some of these are the sen iors that have realized this is their last year so they should have the fun of skipping before they leave. Of course, they always are caught because they don’t know “the ropes,” but even the “old hands” are found out eventually and have to pay the price for their enjoyment. Punctuality is important throughout life as is the training you receive in class. Since there are only a few more weeks of school, why not enjoy yourself without paying the conse quences and keep your good records as well as the fine one West Linn has? Vox Saluda SPEAKS Beauties to Bedeck Bright May Setting It’s gossip time again, students, so latch on to Bernie Herrmann's Clothesline and come along for this ride. We barely made it our selves this time, as usual, ’cause we’ve had so many little things keeping us busy. Since Alex Hays' last production, “Stage Door” (we’d like to give it a plug but we haven’t received our pay ment yet), we know mostly about the cast. Carolyn Heisley gave a party for the cast, stage crew and Alex after the performance Friday. Susan Paige, alias Gayle How ard, had a little trouble deciding what to do when her man show ed up and she’d already made a tentative date. Hope everything turned out all right, although the forgotten man looked - mighty blue all evening. Last week someone asked us if Priscilla Horning could talk about anything but horses. She must be able to, for she’s been seen around with Paul Casebeer, and as far as we know he’s not a horse-lover. John Trapp, the Adolph Gretzl of the mustache, has a quick temper. A certain Lincoln fresh man can’t understand his quick change of attitude, and a certain West Linn senior would like to extend sincere apologies. Now for news of general inter est—Sue Simpson is, quote, "practically going steady with Wayne B. from Oregon City,” un quote. Wonder if this is'just an other one on Sue’s long list of men. We have been wanting to men tion Lynwood May's, flashy new auto. Don’t you think it’s note worthy? We think it should be any girl’s dream car, but Sue Wright would rather ride in the ’48 Chev. What is this we hear about Alan Jack and Kathy Rindflesch? Who is Tony Kissel's new girl friend? .Perhaps his friend George Grill can tell us. This is a warning to all boys flirting with little Pot Drowne. She is already attached. Sorry, kids! We’ve heard that Pat isn’t the only one going st^hdy. Joanne Lundy lays-.claims to a -certain Lincoln fellow by the name of John Swingle. Arlie Lou Proebstel is another gal who is taking this thing call ed love to heart! Mr, Brown told his democracy class that the athletes who go out with girls ruin their game. We decided to inquire into the situation more deeply. Gordon Hammerle figured out that the three guys, not including the pitcher who hit over .300, all go with girls. Sorry to disprove your theory, Mr. Brown. Eunice Eisen and Bill Laine held a slugging match in biology. We ’spose Irene Hawkins thought it was about time soirieone gave him a little trouble. Ben Fritchie likes to win his bets. Adele Allen is not; always willing to cooperate, however. If you haven’t got around to your spring shopping yet, do stop in at Bernie's. He’s ready and waiting to help > you find your graduation outfit. Pd. Adv.
