Among Our Neighbors . • o RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher PESSIMISTS AND OTHERS The Timber Line e HONOR PUPILS Mr. Wilkerson prepared a list of honor pupils or those who have grades of ninety or above in all their subjects. Several students who were on it the first six weeks failed to make it this time. The list follows: seniors, Lar ry Marshall, Everett Rundell, o In their attitude toward the future, men may be roughly divided into three classes: pessimists, who un derrate things as they are, and see nothing better in the offing: visionaries, who dream about things as they might be, and regard facts as easily shaped almost as their imaginations; and those who have faith in what may be done, determine to surmount the obstacles, take off their coats and go to work. It is possible to take one of these three attitudes to wards the future of Vernonia. One kind of person may see only stumps and un derbrush and what will be stumps as soon as the loggers get through—dreary land, good only for blackberries now and second growth cordwood if you wait long enough. Another may fool himself into believing that if people are only put on the land, stumps and undergrowth will disappear as if by magic, and acres of pasture, orchard, grain field and garden take their place overnight. A third may realize that the task will be hard and that discouragements lurk in the way; yet he is confident that it can be done, and he does his share to accomplish it.
