A moose hunting trip into northern British Columbia was enjoyable and suc cessful for four hunters. Don Davis and Paul Justin of Willamina, John Stinson and Francis Stinson of Mc Minnville left Vancouver B.C. Tuesday October 30 by boat (the Northland Prince) for a seven hundred mile trip up the coast. They hit one storm where the deck Of the ship "looked like the w alls." After docking, they took the pickup (also on the ship) and followed the B ellacoolarlyer tollSU m iles, to the village ofBellacoola. From there they traveled east another 200 miles to the Base Mose camp at Punzi Lake. Their trip didn't end there. They tra veled north for five hours to the secondary camp site. This was in the Chilcatin Area of northern B.C. Leaving this camp on horseback they would ride out for 15 to 20 miles and hunt on their way back to camp. The tem perature was reported as mild. "It got all the way up to zero several tim es." All four were successful in their hunt, for home. Coming south through .Prince George, they arrived home Friday Nov. 9.

Jim Buckles Sheridan gets e va lu a tio n results The Sheridan school adm inistrators, high school teachers, the School Board and Budget Committee members met in the high school library on Wednesday night to hear some of the findings of the visiting evaluation team last spring. The school is classified standard, but there are areas that need attention. The teachers are in the process of making five year plans for each department. Some of this will take tim e, some entail money. * One of the needs mentioned most often was storage space. Many ofthe rooms have to be used for various types of classes by different teachers, but there is no space to store m aterials, equipment and books. There is also need fo. more classroom space and more teachers^ The health and d riv er's education classes need more qualified instructors, up-to-date books and other teaching m aterials. No art is being offered this y ear, and there is a need for a humanities class. Many of the band instruments are obsolete and there are no robes for the choir. The shoo and home ec. equipment need re placement and additions, and the science department needs some safety features. Comment was made about apparent stu dent apathy, the need for more counselling and career education. The evaluation report, however, is not all negative. There were commendations as well, but the purpose of the meeting was to acquaint the School Board and Bud get Committee members with the needs of the school. Emily Farwell (Crista Hoefler) surveys the grizly re mains of Miss Task (Caroline Bierer) in "The Mother of Jack the Ripper", one of the four one-act plays iron Tales From Beyond the Crypt, a program to be presented at Willamina Union HighNov. 29 and 30.
