THURSDAT, OCTOBER 4, News of Vernonia Schools THREE VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON 1928 The Timber Line St. Heleno Wins First League Contest From Vernonia 6-0 (By Glen Hieber) St. Helens’ high school football team defeated Vernonia high school Saturday on the St. Heelens gridiron 6-0 in a hot and closely contested struggle, The score came in early in the first quarter when St. Helens by a series <>" line bucks and end runs drove the ball for a touchdown. The game then became a see- aw affair throughout neither team scoring but both springing surprise attacks and fake plays that thrilled the large crowd on the side lines. Vernonia op ned the game with a series of p t-ses and end runs that completely baffled and out- witted the more powerful and ex- perienced team of St. Helens. In five completed passes Vernonia took the ball from the 35-yard line to the 30-yard line, netting 35 yards, There St. Helens re covered the ball and in a few minutes scored a touchdown. They failed to convert the goal by drop kicking. Thun both %teams struggled \aily to serre with no avail. The final whistle blew when Vernonia had possession of the ball and looked as though they were cer tainly headed for a touchdown. It is not ^nown as yet whether Vernonia W’HI play Saturday, Oc tober 6, but Coach Austin is try ing to schedule a game with either the Kelso second team or one of Portland’s high school second teams. Washington School I High School Grounds Appearance Improved School Bus Advantages Cited The school busses that this dis trict runs are a great advantage to the children who come on them. If it were not for the busses these students would have to walk a long way to school and then schools would probably be inferior because they would have to be small and close together, As it is now there can be one large and really good school where all the students get the best of at- tention. There are now two busses from Mist, one from Treharne, and one from Keasey. Altogether, about 80 students are transported in this manner to Vernonia high school. It may be expensive to run the busses, hut the taxpayers are fully paid back in the better schooling their children receive and in the bettor future citizens that are turned out.—E.C.

The roof has been stained and the building is now being painted a light gray. Cement walks have been built around the entire block and the building. The grounds have been ploughed, levelled, and sown in grass seed. These improvements contribute greatly to the appearance of the school and streets.
