REMEMBER YOUR GOOD, RECORD
1J-R-ING! “There’s the last bell—late again !” The old
maxim, “a poor excuse is better than none,” isn’t suffi-
'bient in this case nor for skipping.
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 yedr 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?

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
girting With littre Pat Browne.
She is already attached. Sorry,
kids!
We’ve heard that Pat isn’t the
only one going steady. 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 someone 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.
