COUNSELOR'S REPORT
September is synonymous with sched
uling in the counselor's office. Sixth and
seventh graders preschedule in May (they
will be seventh and eighth graders that
September) so the basic schedule plan can
be made up. Individual schedules are then
made out for each student. But there
are always some adjustments to be made,
new students enroll, and some move
away. Class loads must be kept as even
as possible so both teacher and student
can work as efficiently as possible.
Willamina Grade School again has a
number of students new to the district.
Coming from many different schools they
contribute from a wider background of
experiences to our understanding.
Early in October the SULA, tests were
given to students at G.ILEJ5. and W.GJ5.
These are highly qualified achievement
te sts and the students are encouraged to
do th eir best during the test in order
that the scores be an accurate measure
of th eir knowledge of the subjects.

Third Thoughts
THANKSGIVING, 1938
Thanksgiving day is here and it is a
day on which we should be truly thank
ful.
If there ever was a day when the people
of America should be thankful, this is
the tim e. Another wo^ld war has been
averted — a war in which some of us
might have been compelled to take part —
and no democracy wants war.
We see the newspapers supressed and
the editors imprisoned if they dare to
print what the dictators want to keep
secret. The people are denied all infor
mation of what their ru lers are doing.
F raternal societies and clubs are for
bidden to meet. The church is under a
ban, p riests and m inisters are jailed for
preaching what displeases the ru lers. Nat
ional boundaries are armed and patrolled.
Compare our own situation with the
above. In America, every man thinks,
speaks, w rites and publishes whatever
he thinks, subject only to the law pro
tecting the rights of others.
We worship as we wish. No matter
what our faith. — All are equal here.
We conduct whatever clubs and societies
we wish.
We Americans have the highest stan
dard of living the world has ever known.
Nothing can ever take away the lib e r
ties of our people but the people them-
Thursday, Thanksgiving day, let
ire thanks and pray that our Amer-
iay keep the liberties that we have.
by BETH GUNDERSON
No m atter how well you manage the
day after day routine, a popular notion
floating around is that a c risis is the
real test of a person. Maybe.
A big to-do comes along and anyone
is able to manage something even if it
is hiding in the closet with the door open.
It is all those not so world shaking events
that try me the most.
Such as the cool night we had a cozy
fire in the fireplace and R.T. was getting
ready to roast marshmallows. We heard a
rolling whooshing noise like a rocket blast
off, so I checked outside. Flames were
whirling and winding about the chimney top
like the 4th of July.
So, CALMLY I told R.T. to tell Bumper
to get out of the bathtub because the house
was on fire. Squealing on the top of his
voice, he ran. I told Charlie to get the
coats for everyone to evacuate the pre
mises. I even talked like that.
After dialing incorrectly twice, I told the
woman at the fire department switchboard
we had a small chimney fire. She clicked
her tongue and took our address.
Bumper answered R.T.*s warning with a
sarcastic "Oh, sure it is " and stayed in
the tub. Charlie couldn't find my coat and
brought me a blanket to wrap up in.
He and R.T. went - out of the house to
watch. The police had arrived with lights
flashing to direct traffic at the intersect
ion.
Sirens were wailing closer and I was
pounding on the bathroom door giving
Bumper what fo r. As every piece of fire
equipment the city owned including the
salvage truck, an ambulance and the news
caster from the local radio station pulled
up with a ro ar, he believed me. I es
corted Bumper outdoors wild eyed, wet
and wearing my coat.
The fire was out before the first hose
was unrolled. I spent the next half hour
answering questions
while
firemen
crawled over the roof and peeked down the
chimney. I said hello to people I hadn't
seen in months and some I had never seen
before in my life.
R.T. got so excited he lost his dinner.
Bumper pretended he didn't know any one
and those crazy people were no relation to
him. Charlie kept trying to help me keep
my blanket around my shoulders as I
talked with the firemen who were packing
to leave.
When everyone was gone, I counted
heads as I herded the boys inside. There
was still a cozy fire in the fireplace.
The reading lamp was lit and the room
was as we left it. Almost. I put back the
music box I had saved as I went out«
Now that the c risis was normal on the
surface, I did what many an untested
person would do. I helped myself to the
bottle of whiskey in the medicine cabinet.
