Just PERSONAL
By D EW EY
Lots of things have happened
since I closed the form s last week
to get the paper into the mails.
To begin is the question—th a t is,
w here to begin. F irst, let us con
sider the bank and its opening -
let us view for a m om ent the line
ready, long before the doors w ere
opened. The fact th a t a bank is
h ere supersedes any o th er idea
am ong the local people.
E. L. M orton, in a sta te m e n t,
M ondhy m orning, w ouldn’t say
e x a c tly — fo r banking reasons, it
m u st be understood, ju st how
m any dollars w ere deposited —
ju s t hoiv m any depositors came
in and "did business.” H ow ever,
he did tell m e than "he had no
idea th a t the num ber would be,
as g reat.” T h a t is indicative of
w h a t Oregon S ta te BdHk m ay
hope to enjoy.
Gone from m ost minds, it seem s
to me, is the thought th a t this
« b a n k cannot do the com m unity
any good. F rankly, it looks like
these investors of bank stock a re
ini a mood to do plenty good. I t
al< ; seem s to me th a t these, or
m any of them at least, have come
here to m ake th eir homes, to be
come p a rt of the com m unity and
its civic m ovem ents.
Regardless o f the past, regard
less of personal ideas, there is
still going to be prosperity and
progress in this com m unity. I f it
is not possible fo r Oregon S ta te
B a n k to handle th e entire loan,
The United S ta te s N ational B ank
of P ortland w ill be ready to take
up the additional segm ent, or the
e n tire am ount. Loans which have
to do icith the progress of the
area should g et the attention
needed, it seem s to me.

afternoon Mrs. Prentices Accor

a t the Chetco Inn Lobby, during
th e m eal hours. How m any of
you availed yourselves of the op
p o rtu n ity to h e a r this talented
group of you n g sters? If you are
one, please w rite it down th at
you missed som ething of a tre a t.
There were sixteen in the band

a senior in high school. Each, in

num ber of parts in the en terta in
ment. Yes, that little six-year-old
child sang to a num ber, to Ed
Sund, Chef Adrian, Mrs. H end
ricks and others.
The soloist, a ju n io r in high
school, had som ething m ore than
just average. T here was a senior
boy who could m ake his accor
dion sound quite a bit like a pipe
organ. Really it is am azing how
such youthful faces sould be made
perform like veterans of the stage
of the m etropolitan areas.
It was quite a show late Sat
urday evening. Visitors were re
luctant to leave, to perm it the
youngsters to go to bed. Requests
were complied with gladly
no
person was disappointed if he
would only speak up. A nything
from the popular to the classical
was played u ith equal ability.

I am tem pted to m ake a claim,
and see if it can be equalled by
any school, anyw here, at any time
even back a centure. More o f
ten than not, girls out-num ber
the boys in num ber of graduates.
B ut with this class, the story
has a peculiar tw ist odd is a
better word. As fa r back as the
seventh grade the boys had a
decided edge, fo u r or five to one.
There were five girls graduating
from the eighth grade— but in
these four years, all of the orig
inal girls dropped out fo r one
reason or another.
Shirley Bowlin kept it from
being all boys, when she cam e to
Brookings as a sophomore, and is
the only girl in the c la s s —pitted
w ith 16 boys. Shirley, who has
brothers of her own, knows she
has com petition, but is w illing to
“give and tak e .” She feels she
has som ething to be proud of—
“only girl g raduate, with 16 boys
in the class of 1952.“
