Rainier Wins Spirited
Football Game Here
Saturday 18-0
Rainier high school eleven hand-
ed Vernonia defeat Saturday on the
local gridiron, 18-0.
For the first half the battle
was a toss-up as to who would win.
Rainier then rallied and inarched
the ball from the middle of the
field across the chalkiuarked line
by a series of end runs and line
smashes. The other two touch

ses and ran across the goal. All
tries for points were unsuccessful.
After Vernonia failed to gain
consistently through the line and
around ends, they opened a flashy

attack
stumped the defense. More than
once the well formed overhead at-
tack brought the ball from the
middle of the field to the ten,
fifteen, and twenty-yard lines, but
each time the opposing forces were
there to stop the opposing charges.
Fourteen passes were
completed,
which netted about 100 yards.
The Vernonia team suffered
greatly when George Oberst, half,
and Harold Nelson, tackle were in
jured and had to be replaced by
reserves.

Pupil« Riding in Mist Bus Rally Peps Up Students
For Game Last Week;
Have Hilarious Trips
Led By “Buzz Saws”
All the pupis in the Mist bus
believe in having a good time,
Sometimes we are so noisy that
the driver has to quiet us down.
But what more could be expected
of restless students riding such a
distance to school. The boys are
put up by the driver, and the
girls are assigned to sit in the
back. This does not help matters
any as the boys are always seek
ing to take out their revenge
in every way possible.
There is always a constant chat
tering, gossiping, or whatever you
wish to call it. In one end of the
bus lessons are being discussed, and
at the other end there may be
joking, story telling, laughter, and
are
what not. Sometimes games
played.
Our bus is not so crowded as
it was at the beginning of the
year, as the pupils living in the
Vernonia district are being trans
ported by a stage now. Whiie they
were riding with us there were
over thirty in the bus, which made
it very uncomfortable riding.
As we near Natal on the return
trip, the pupils begin to thin out
a bit. About five miles more and
we will have reached our destina
tion, home, which is a great re
lief after riding over about 17
or 18 miles of hard, bumpy roads
in none too comfortable
seats.

This is Mr. Owens’ sixth year

Mr. Owens takes a real interest
in the progress of the students.
He is always ready to aid the
teachers and students in every way
he can when they are preparing
for a program, never complaining
because of the extra work he may
be called on to do.
The school feels that they are
very fortunate in having such a

Study as thoroughly as you please the entire

finally conclude that in all the world there is
no other low-priced six like Pontiac ... For of
all the sixes available at as little as $745 only
Pontiac offers bodies by Fisher—a 186-cubic
inch engine—the cross-flow radiator—a fuel
pump—the famous G-M-R cylinder head. Only
Pontiac offers such stamina and long life. And
only Pontiac offers special factory equipment
including six wire wheels and tires with the
two spares cradled in fender wells at slight
additional cost... With all these exclusive fea
tures Pontiac Six has established itself as fore
most among all low-priced sixes. And with
good reason, for where else can you find such
advantages for as little as $745?
