LAST WORDS - *Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress. *I believe in equality for every- one, except reporters and photographers. (Mahatma Gandhi) By DARLENE ANDERSON In what could possibly be a first in the history of Illinois Valley Little League, Jack Anderson (#5), pitching for the Junior Division Orioles, pitched his first perfect game. Orioles faced the Illinois Valley Angels at Jubilee Park in Cave Junction Wednesday, May 24 in scorching heat. The heat did not adversely affect the Orioles in a 10-0 skunking of the Angels. Jack “The Rabbit” Anderson could not believe the game outcome. With the Orioles’ teamwork, the An- gels didn’t have a chance. Orioles’ coach Brad Jones remarked that he had never seen a perfect game played at this level. “This is a once-in-a- lifetime thing we saw here today,” he said to the team after the game. Assistant coaches Morgan Jones and Skylar Melton also were amazed at the outcome. Added umpire Travis Robbins, “This kid is one hot pitcher. I can’t figure out if he’s throwing knuckle balls or curve balls.” Jack’s grand- father, David Anderson, who sponsors the team, noted, “It doesn’t matter what the pitch is, as long as he is getting the job done.” In several innings, “The Rabbit” knocked over the Angels three up/three down. When the Angels did manage to hit the ball, Jack’s team- mates handily threw them out. Recognized as a hot team, the Orioles have four more games scheduled at Jubilee Park. Games will be- gin at 6 p.m. Wednesdays, June 1 and 8; Friday, June 10; and Wednesday, June 15. The I.V. Little League Jr. Division Orioles are spon- sored by David Anderson Excavating. * Biscuits & Gravy * Pancakes * Eggs * Bacon * Sausage * Coffee, Milk, Juice Adults - $4 Children 12 & under - $2.50 Saturday & Sunday, June 4, 5 - 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. both days Tickets: $10 per day or $5 and 5 non-perishable food items for local food banks Children 12 and younger FREE when accompanied by an adult Camping: $12 per night * Free Workshops * Food * Craft Vendors Graduation (Continued from page 1) She also has been a cheerleader, and played on the golf team.

Steve Morgan, the per- ennial faculty speaker in- vited by the class, teaches English III, and government economics. He also teaches classes in advanced place- ment history, and one titled, “Experiencing Law.” For its motto, the class has chosen: “In learning we shared knowledge. In grow- ing we have found friend- ship. In time we have made memories.” Music will be provided by students of Kevin Soon from IVHS and Lorna Byrne Middle School . Diplomas will be dis- tributed by Dr. Jerry Frittz, superintendent of Three Rivers School District, and members of the district board. They include Dave Toler, of Cave Junction. The class has selected the lily as its flower; and the school mascot, the cougar, as its class animal. Following graduation, the 15th annual all-night drug-and-alcohol free party will be held at the Junction Inn. Because of this func- tion, supported by many merchants and individuals in the valley, there have been no student injuries or fatali- ties due to drinking and driving. Some 98 percent of graduates have attended previous parties. Partial Line-up: Saturday Sunday *Albino!
