Spoons Supplied
By Leslie Pupils
The Leslie junior high school
cafeteria was in need of five dozen
teaspoons and It was decided to
ask the pupils to contribute them
A board was put up in the lower
hall to hang them on and Prhv
clpal R. W. Tavenner asked the pu
plls If they would bring any stray
spoons from home.
Last week the board In the lower
hall was lacking only eight spoons
Mr. Tavenner called the pupils' at
tention to it again. Eighteen spoons
were contributed which gives the
cafeteria six and a half dozen
spoons. The drive was not a con
test between the different Indian
tribes.

Broadcaster Head
This week the new editor for the
Leslie "Broadcaster," Lloyd Finden,
was chosen by a faculty commit

Record Drive
Old Records
For New Ones
At Leslie In Miss Gretchen Krea
mer's music class, they are starting
a record drive. If anyone has any
old records that he doesn't want.
It would be appreciated very much
If he would bring them to school.
They have 83 now. The record may
be scratched or there may even
be a piece broken out of It. The
records that the students bring
are sold and then new ones are
bought. It will take 250 records to
get the records we want. All of the
Leslieites are asked to cooperate
with Miss Kreamer and bring all of
their old records that they don't
want.
Cast for Play

The cast for the third play which
the Leslie students will present,
"Aunt Hetty," has been chosen. This

Field Trip for
Teachers Dec. 6
Advance Information has been re
ceived by the Parrish teachers, as
well as other teachers In the Salem
school system, from W. E. Snyder,
curriculum director, in regard to
plans for a field trip on Saturday,
December 6.
Arrangements are being made for
all teachers, who wish to go, to
visit one of the large timber oper
atlons at Lacomb. There they will
see the actual process of getting
timber out of the woods. It is
hoped that they will have dinner
at the cook house.
After dinner the group will return
to Lebanon for a tour of the ply
wood manufacturing company.
Much of the trip will be made
over private roads, therefore, the
group will probably go by school
bus.
This will be the second field trip
for teachers this year. Several
weeks ago a group of teachers en
Joyed the visit to the State Arbore
tum at Corvallls. The purpose of
that trip was to find at first hand
what the government Is doing in
the way of conservation and re
forestation. Complete Information as to the
exact itinerary of the trip to La-
comb will be announced later and
reservations may be made at that
time.

to entertain the students during

discouraged because they will un
able to watch them perform. The
Leslie majorettes hope to be able
to do as well in the future as the
Parrish majorettes did last Friday.

Three Events
Hold Interest
During the noon period of this
week at Parrish we have had three
Interesting things to do even if
there were only three days of
school.
There was an "Everybody fling,"
Monday, The lender of the singing
was Lillian Hoffman and the pianist
was Beverly Davenport.
Then on Tuesday there was
3attle of Sexes" between the
eighth grade boys and girls with
Barbara Williams as master of cere
monies. Those on the girls' team
were Rose Marie Jones, Mary Kow-
itz, and Joyce Scott. Those on the
boys' team were Joe Brazee, Leland
Hoar, and Richard Barber.
This noon activity proved to be
so popular that room four would not
hold Its audience.
The winners were the girls, and
the highest score was made by Rose
Marie Jones.
On Wednesday there was handi
craft done for the Junior Red
Cross.
Mrs. McCall Talks
To Leslie Pupils
During the second period Wednes
day at Leslie Mrs. Marie Flint Mc
Call gave an Interesting talk to
the ninth grade of Leslie junior

Included many countries In South
America. She also showed many
relics and souvenirs that she
bought. Among her collection was
a beautiful handmade table cloth
which she bought In South America
for $20. Another Interesting article
was a rug made from llama wool
and dyed from vegetable dye. Pu
pils were allowed to look at the
many things that she didn't have
time to show.

Parents Visit
Music Room at
Open House
Parrish held its open house
Wednesday, November 12. A large
number of parents came to see how
their children are behaving or why
they got the grades they did. Most
of them went away with cheerful
looks, but some were rather gloomy.
It Is our opinion that the teacher
who had the most company that
night was Miss Margaret Simms,
the music teacher. This was caused
partly by the fact that Miss Simms
has around 500 pupils.
She, like the other teachers, dis
played books which are used in
each of her classes. She had pic
tures of a great many of the mu
sically famous people.
Some 260 parents visited this
room on the night of open house,
and Just about everybody came out
with a smile for practically every
body's little children behave quite
nicely In music period.
Pep Girls Root
For Favorites
The Parrish vs. Leslie game was
one of the most colorful of the
football season. It was quite a
battle between the mud-sllngers of
Leslie and the land-sliders of Par
rish.
The Girls' Pep elub of Parrish
was rooting for their loyal boys to
go marching "on to victory,' as
they did in the finish and climax
of the game to make the score
0 to 0.
The Parrish Girls Pep club,
They root with yells and song.
And really are the hub
That makes the team feel strong.
The purpose of the Parrish Girls'
Pep club meeting, November 14 was
to choose the emblem for their
sweaters. It was unanimously vot
ed to get O over P. maroon, felt
letters, five by four Inches, to wear
on their sweaters. A committee
was chosen to find out how much
60 or more emblems would cost. The
committee was Hope Jaqulth, Bev
erly McCabe, Joan Lochead, and
Mary Relmann,
Hope Jaqulth introduced a new
song to which she had written the
words called "On to Victory," to
the tune of the Wisconsin song.
Our song leaders, Jackie Torger
son and Gloria Myers, led us in
practicing a few songs, after which
the meeting was adjourned.
Young Scientists
Observe Feathers
Walter Beck's social science class
a Leslie has enjoyed a collection
of bird feathers, nests, etc., belong
ing to Floyd Fisher. The feathers
are mounted on cardboard or
framed in glass. There are several
bird feathers from other conti
nents, a lima feather from South
America, and an African gay par
rot feather. There are about 75
feathers on cardboard and 30 un
der glass, besides five nests. These
were gathered mostly from the
western section of the United
States. This collection ties in with
the class studies of different con
tinents. It is noted that the birds
of South America and Africa have
brighter plumage than the birds of
North America.
