"Ross Marsh and the Star­
lighters will be providing the
music for the prom,” comment­
ed Bruce McCormmach, Junior
class vice-president.
Decorations for the prom
will not concentrate com­
pletely on the theme, but
follow a Japanese motif.
The center of the old gym
will be a Japanese garden
which may include a pool,
bridge and Japanese pagoda.
"We are planning to rent real
trees to be used in the garden,"
stated Mary Birkeland. “Other
decorations will include Japa­
nese lanterns hanging from the
ceiling, kites, and small Japa-.
nese parasols for table decora­
tions.”
The election of the queen will
be different this year. A couple
of days prior to the prom, the
queen will be voted on and kept
secret until the announcement
mid-way during the evening.
Bids for the prom will be $2.
They will go on sale around May.

in reading, creative writing classes
Changes in the remedial read­
ing and creative writing classes
and in the forecasting program
have been announced by Gust
Kanas, vice-principal in charge
of curriculum.
These changes will ap­
pear both in this year’s and
next year’s programming.
In the remedial reading de­
partment, Mrs. Ruth Strong is
retiring and will be replaced by
Jay Hockett. There will be four
of the half year classes, a special
section for students who have
low-reading ability and want t<?
improve, and Mr. Hockett will
become the reading consultant
to the English department.
“Because of the large
number of students interest­
ed in effective reading, and
with Mrs. Strong retiring,
we decided to have a full
time teacher in this field,”
commented Mr. Kanas.
Mr. Hockett will also work

April 5 here.
Entering three junior teams,
three senior teams and one mixed
team GNHS members came out
on top every time.
Junior NHS members routed
Franklin’s junior team 180-60.
The seniors had a somewhat
rougher time in putting away
their foes as they edged the
Quakers’ senior team 95-75.
“All questions used in the
meets were submitted by Port­
land high school teachers,” com­
mented Cecil Jenkins, NHS ad­
visor. “This year we had a regu­
lar schedule involving all PIL
schools.

Students working
in state conference
Five juniors and seniors at­
tended the statewide Interna­
tional Relations League confer­
ence on the University of Oregon
campus in Eugene, according to
IRL chapter President Leyton
Jump.
Leyton, Susan McGill, Susan
Richardson, Alan Rumsey, and
Peggy Weller were assigned to
groups discussing topics ranging
from Arab-Israeli relations to
peace-keeping in Vietnam.
Main topic at the conference
was the improvement and ex­
pansion of the role of the United
Nations in international affairs.
Groups discussed specific trou­
ble areas, and recommended ac­
tion in resolutions at a model
General Assembly.
Most stimulating were the “in­
formed, knowledgable people,,’
asserted Leyton and Sue McGill,
IRL chapter secretary. “Every­
body we met was concerned
about the war in Vietnam.”
Chess club members; defeated
Madison, 4-1, and Wilson, 3-2, in
two “quite informal” chess com­
petitions, according to Chess club
President John Casteel.
“We play five boards (and
five players) at each meet,” ex­
plained John. Team members
are Ward Carlson, John Casteel,
Alan Clement, Dale Small, Don
Thompson, and Evan Whipple.
Meets with Cleveland, David
Douglas, and Jefferson high
schools’ chess clubs are being ar­
ranged.
within the ninth-grade program
in helping teachers who have
students with a reading defici­
ency.
’ The creative writing classes
have been tentatively scheduled
for next year. These classes may
be taken as an enrichment course
or as a regular course. It is also
likely that James Conover, Eng­
lish instructor, will be teaching
the classes.
Other changes have arisen in
the forecasting program in the
form of overcrowded Biology
classes for next year.
It has been necessary for a cer­
tain number of students beyond
the number we can accommodate
to consider an alternate pro­
gram,” concluded Mr. Kanas.
