nates the picture at. North Salem
High this week. The Girl's League
.,, elections, to be
' J held today, will
complete the
democr a t i c
process until
next fall when
the three
classes will
choose their of
ficers. Each year
the Girl's
League Coun-
WillBatesoa cil picks two
girls who they think will be com
petent to fill each office. Any
girl, however, can put her name
on the ballot by a petition. The
other party which was nominated
will still com
mand a posi
t i o n on the
Girl's League
Council in the
form of either
thA hairmii
of student ser
vice, book
store, finance
or publ i c i t y
committees. -The

mkn a t C d for Barbara Boalfae
thi offices -are Judv Bvers and
Pam Clayton for president, Shir
ley! Taber and Carol Stolk for
vice-president, Nancy Abalt and
Jan Roberts for secretary, Beth
Horn and Rosemary Stephenson
for treasurer.
Members of the Junior Class
seem to be facing, their coming
class party with the same apathy
that 'they showed for the dinner
that was planned for them ear
lier this year. The party, a part
of the annual class activities, is
scheduled for Friday evening in
the gymnasium.
So far, the juniors have shown
less enthusiasm than they did for
their dinner which was called off
earlier, in the year. Both the class
advisoQS and , the class officers
hope that interest will pick up
oon. -SOUTH

Court Modifies
State Habitual
Criminal Act
The state supreme court Wed
nesday declared part of Oregon's
habitual criminal statute unconstitutional
The decision was based on ac
tion by the state against William
Frank Cory, Douglas County, who
appealed to the high court. The
decision reversed Circuit Judge
William G. East and declared un
constitutional the part of the stat
ute giving district attorneys dis
cretion to determine whether to
proceed by information against a
person who has been convicted of
a felony not involving personal
violence.
Corey was convicted of viola
tion of the law which forbids con
victs from possessing firearms and
was sentenced to four years in the
state penitentiary in December,
1953. Since Cory had three previ
ous felony convictions, the district
attorney then filed an information
charging him with being an habi
tual criminal. After conviction on
such information, the trial court
set aside the four-year sentence
and imposed a sentence of 15
years in the penitentiary. .
Cory appealed from both con
victions.
The Supreme Court held there
was no merit in his appeal from
the original charge and ordered
the . original four-year sentence
reinstated.

ing: "We pronounce this program
as of the utmost importance to
the future of our community, and
we individually pledge our assist
ance and support in every way
possible to help the Chamber car

community development? "And, he
