THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1928 3 rhe Timber New» of Vernonia Schools Scappose Wins By Single Touchdown Saturday Have you patrons of the Verno nia high school forgotten the Ver nonia high school carnival which was presented last year? Of course you have not. Here are a few of the attractions to enliven the event this year: Hard-looking gypsy fortune tel- the lers, who thoughfully trace lines in your hand, and outline your future in a truly magic way, be sides many other side shows such as the famous Punch and Judy. Eatables, tempting and delicious, may be purchased from stands while you can see and hear what is going on from every side. And there is a very snappy program too, with a play cast entirely of high school students. Then there are, oh, many other things. The really wonderful thing about it is, however, that Friday night, November 9, the high school will present another carnival, even bet- ter and more interesting than pre- vious ones.—L.G. Stay t in School It is as essential that children should stay in school as it is that they learn to read and write. Grade school fits a student for high school but for little else beyond that. A high school or college student can fill any position open to the un educated, but can we «ay the op- The Wolopla Camp Fire girls held their meeting at the Lincoln school Tuesday afternoon. It was decided to hold a pot-luck supper at the Lincoln grade school next Tuesday at 5 p.m. Freshman Girl Wins Prize At Masquerade Experiments Tried By Science Classes Miss Helen Bergerson, a fresh- man of the Vernonia high school, won first prize in the masquerade held at the skating rink, Halloween. She was disguised as an old negro man. It is reported that she did it so successfully that some of her closest friends did not recog nize her and many people did not know she was a girl until she un- masked. James Currie alumnus of the Vernonia high school won second prize and Millicent Ratkie, who at tends the Washington school, won third prize.—G.P. The general science class per- formed two interesting experiments this week. The first one illustrated the different colors given off by some elements when heated. Chem ists make use of this property in analyzing compounds and call it the flame test. Astronomers can tell the composition of different stars by detecting these colors by means of a spectroscope. The other experiment consisted of making hydrogen from hydro chloric acid and zinc. This was in troduced into a small balloon which became buoyant. It was explained that this gas is used in the Graf- Zeppelin and on account of its inflammability is very dangerous. The U. S. government does not use hydrogen in its dirigibles be cause of its explosiveness but sub stitutes helium gas whjch is slightly heavier and will not burn. The United States has the only avail able supply of helium gas in the Science Questions Name the planets in our solar system. Is the sun closer to the earth in December or July? Is a person heavier at the north pole or at the equator? Can you go east or west at the south pole? Is there such a thing as a fall- ing star? See if you can answer these questions and next week we will answer them for you. —Pauline Cates, ’32.

Yet only Pontiac among all sixes of its price offers Bodies by Fisher. And their long, low, smart lines, their deep-seated comfort and durable hardwood and steel construction explain much of the tremendous popularity which Pontiac continues to enjoy. But bodies by Fisher represent only one of the many advantages offered by today’s Pontiac Six.
