others: *Sing the Batman theme incessantly. *Specify that
your drive-through order is “to go.” *Learn Morse Code,
and in public have conversations that consist entirely of
“beeps” and “bips.” *Leave on your turn signal for 50
miles...then turn the other way. *Go to a Mexican restau-
rant and order sushi.
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.

Graduation
(Continued from page 1)
She also has been a
cheerleader, and played on
the golf team. Outside
school, she is an Awanas
leader, and a vacation Bible
school teacher.
Lorensen plans to attend
Oregon State University at
Corvallis. She wants to
study early childhood devel-
opment, with an option in
education and psychology.
The commencement
keynote speaker, invited by
the class, is Steven Morton.
He teaches psychology,
speech, U.S. history, gov-
ernment economics, and
world history.
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.
