SWIMMERS QUALIFY
FOR LIFEGUARDS
For the purpose of training life
guards to assist in swimming
classes within the school and
recreational parks during the
summer, a lifesaving class of 16
senior life guards and nine jun­
ior life guards has recently com­
pleted its activities. The class,
directed by Miss Marion Locher,
girls’ physical education instruc­
tor, consisted of a 12 weeks’ pe­
riod in which each girl swam an
hour daily. Following this was a
swimming test and a written ex­
amination.
Those girls that qualified for
senior awards were Janice Otnes,
Margaret Illingworth. Pat Deam-
er, Hazel Koser, Diane Spencer,
Doris Corderman, Jean Fallon,
Virginia Rabick, Sela Clark, Peg­
gy Lander, Lois Pickle, Jackie

Come out and watch them
break their necks! It may look
as if these boys are taking a ter­
rible beating, but they know how
to tumble! Coach Burnett show­
ed them how, so naturally they
are good.
Members of the May Day
tumbling squad are, according
to the way they first roll off,
Larry Bailey, Alvin Hinkle, Stan­
ley Blue, Ernest Rickard, Manuel
Cook, Don Dove, Jim Kosic, Don
Jones, Aubrey Sharp, Bob Web­
ber, Ronnie Schief, Don Shivers,
Buddy Atwood and David Dorsey.

Fred Ditter, last year’s pitch­
ing star for West Linn, has land-'
ed a mound berth with the Val­
lejo Chiefs’ nine in the Far West­
ern league and was credited with
a victory over Medford last Sat-'
urday night.
Ditter came up with the bases
loaded and retired the next three
batters; he also made one hit
and scored runs.
♦ ♦ ♦
The West Linn netters were
defeated by McMinnville, 3-5, in
a tennis battle staged in the
Mac Hi courts, Wednesday after­
noon.
Palmer lost to a very strong
opponent after two grueling sets;
Penny lost to his opponent but
played three sets in doing it.
Sharp won his first two sets and,,
both double teams won — David
Lenz-Lester Louden, and Ken
Palmer-Larry Schwartz. The girls
lost the matches they played.
* * *
Sub-catcher Harold Adrian lost
his chance to finish the season
when he broke a finger on his
right hand. This accident will
probably make it impossible for
him to play cub-baseball until
the latter part of the summer.
