George was happier than ever last night because he received his diploma from Canby high school after a 15-year wait. The balding Oregonian was paralyzed from the neck down in 1932 at the age of 14, but his handicap has not kept him from making a mark in the world. Nelson gathers news for the local newspaper, sells greeting cards, takes magazine subscrip tions and even finds time to teach a Sunday school class. After a long lapse, the "cheer ful" cripple returned to his studies two years ago. With straight "1" marks in music. mathematics, biology and Jour nalism, the school board voted him a diploma which he received with the rest of Canby's graduat ing class last night.
