BOWDISH WINS RECOGNITION . Did you know there’s a fellow in this school who’s won every thing but a saddle in competi tive horse-back riding? His name is Rodney Bowdish. Although Rodney has been rid ing since he was five years old, he started competitive riding in 1943. He rode his dad’s horses under the Clackamas county ' posse colors. He began riding for Kenneth Hall, who owns the Spring Mead ows farm, in 1946. As Rodney tells it, Mr. Hall’s daughter upset the hay-wagon oné" day, so she was promptly fired, and Rodney, who was present at the time, was hired. There he rides pure-bred Arabians, such as Sa- har, and works with prize Angus cattle. Rodney has taken such an in terest in Angus cattle that he raises them himself as his proj ect for F. F. A. Rodney is getting two more Angus calves.; he plans to take one to the Pacific Inter national Livestock Exposition and the other to the State Fair, and Multnomah and Clack amas County Fairs besides nu merous Hunt Club shows and the All-Arabian Horse Show. To top it off, he’s been chosen by the “Amateur Horseman” Magazine as the “Junior Horse man of the Month,” and will have his picture in .a coming is sue. Since the magazine is pub lished in the East, this means Rodney has achieved national recognition. College Student Practicing Here The newest newcomer to West Linn is petite, brown-eyed, brun- ette Miss Emily Whetstone, an Oregon State College senior who is majoring in Home Economics. Miss Whetstone, having taken the required homemaking sub jects! is receiving her supervised teaching training at West Linn. ~ She will be at West Linn for six weeks, two of which have already past.

Miss Whetstone plans to teach when she finishes school in June, 1950. When the “Amp” interviewed her, Miss Whetstone was asked why she came to teach at West Linn, which is one of the many schools that sire qualified to have student teachers, she said it was a matter of a short straw. There was so.much undecidedness be tween Miss Whetstone and two of her fellow students, who have some choice of where they want RODNEY BOWDISH to teach, that they ended up by Rodney is always rather shy drawing straws and she drew when it comes to talking about West Linn. Arrangements were the many prizes he won. When made by O. S. C. through Mr. he arrived home from the Clack Tunnell and Mrs. Reed.

J BROWNING ust It’s here I Yes, “Skippy Be- delle” is right here in our own high school library. This is only one of Owen Johnsen’s great novels. Skippy’s adventures include plans to invent a. foot regulator for bathtubs. But, alas, what really happens is a hilarious climax which is brought forth by Doc Macnooder. Skippy also tries mosquito-proof socks which re sults in fouling up the atmos phere of the dorms. On the sentimental side, “Skip” falls in love with a friend of his sisters,-only it’s not as easy as all that. While (falling in love, he invests in his first dress suit. The stud that pops from his shirt onto a dinner’table is picked up by a lisping girl who decides to reform him. Learning to dance hastens his intimate insight into the unpre dictable behavior of the fair sex, until, wise through disillusion ment, he confides to his diary, “What I don’t know about wom en ain’t worth knowing. Re solved: If any loving is going to be done, they can do the loving!” Anyone who was ever young will find Skippy and his friends genuinely human and irresisti bly funny. Yet, you may be sure you will learn many things from this wise young lad and his pals.
