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

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 improvements on the bilding
and grounds of Vernonia high
school are nearing completion. 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. The students
and faculty are especially pleased
in the change, and hope to en-
joy smooth, green lawns in the
near future.—M.H.
