Front. Proceeds will go towards the senior prom. “Since this will be one of the major money-making projects we are now appealing to all sen iors to give as much of their time and support as possible to the arranging and gathering of usa ble goods,” stated Tim Prahl, senior class president. Due to a lack of available dates the sale is taking place on a school day and because of this 16 senior class members’ moth ers have been incorporated as salesladies. Seniors will be given all the necessary information concern ing the sale and will be notified as to where the rummage should be placed.

We got up at 4 a.m. to participate in the parade at 9 a.m.” “The floats were ele gant,” Julia continued, “but because the parade was on a larger scale than the Port land Rose Parade, it didn’t have as much meaning to me. In Portland everyone seems to walk taller and straighter and be so happy during the Rose Festival.” One evening, while Julia was in California, she dined at Trad er Vic’s and sat at a table next to Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, Bennet Cerf and Rosalind Rus sell. Even after meeting such celebrities, Julia says, “I still prefer Portland people.” Julia was asked how she has enjoyed her reign this far. She said, “It’s been beautiful. I real ly love it and especially appre ciate what the student body has done for me. It was only through them that all these wonderful things could be happening.” “Nothing will be so much fun, though, as crowning another lucky girl queen,” continued Ju lia. “I will be sad when it’s over, but I realize that my reign is just like a fairy tale and must end after one year. I will always have some wonderful memories.” When asked if being queen had changed her, her family or her future plans, Julia said, “No, not at all; except for the fact that I was able to go to the school of my choice, because of Friday, Mar. 3, 1967 the scholarship given me. I was able to get a start in what I want to do and that is singing.” Julia still has plans set in the singing field, either as a teacher or in some other media. About the time she has spent as Rose Festival Queen, Julia said, “Towards the beginning, I Representing the Portland area was very busy, but you really at the annual National Principals get used to it.

Missoula stamp campaign fails; reg room drive to meet costs The orchestra’s Green Stamp campaign seems to have aroused little interest in the Missoula trip. Approximately eight per cent of the needed $1,633 for transportation was met with the 69 books collected. To meet the total transportation cost, 817 books were needed. About the apparent lack of student interest in the orches tra trip, John Stuckey, activities director said, “Jefferson high school raised $50,000 for a choir trip to Japan and Grant’s having trouble raising $1,600 for trans portation to Missoula.” Because of the failure of the Green Stamp drive, a strenuous reg room money drive was start ed. Results of this drive will be announced soon. If the money from these drives doesn’t accomplish the goal, the trip expenses may become a fi nancial burden on each indi vidual orchestra member. From the sale of “Moola for “It’s just wonderful being back at Grant again,’’ commented Rose Festival Queen Julia West, after the planting of an Ena Harkness rose bush in front of the school. “It seems like so much has happened, yet Grant never seems to lose its fun loving group,” Julia contin ued. “In a way when you’re in high school it seems like it will never end. There’s tension, but it’s happy, exciting tension. “In college there are more pressures, but in a different way. You are forced to think deep thoughts and begin to develop into an adult. It is in this way that I miss Grant. Coming back today makes me realize that once high school years are gone, they’re gone.” When asked about festival ac tivities she especially enjoyed, Julia remembered the Pasadena Rose Parade. “The weather was wonderful 70 degrees in the mid Missoula” buttons, $320 net was made to go towards food and lodging.

Seven hundred ballots were sent to seniors’ reg rooms to de cide if and when the service should be held. Of the 496 bal lots returned 315 students indi cated they would attend.

It will contain poetry, short stories, a feature story and illus trations. According to Hardscrabble editor Barbara Earnest, the magazine is including the mate rial which would have appeared in the canceled literary maga zine, Image. Biology students watch egg development To observe the stages in devel opment of the chick is the pur pose of experiments being con ducted by Mrs. Mary Mott’s bi ology classes on chicken eggs and young chick embryos. Five classes obtained ten dozen fertilized eggs to con duct their experiments. “The chick is a representative vertebrate embryo. Many of the features of the developing chick are representative of other verte brates prior to birth or hatching. This is the main reason we have chosen the chick for our studies,” commented Mrs. Mott. The chick embryo devel ops within different embry onic membranes, the amni on, allantois, yolk sac, and chorin. The study of each of these membranes is also an essential part of the clases’ projects. The eggs were incubated on February 14 and will hatch Mon day after completing their 21- day incubation period.
