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,

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.
Fortunately Vernonia has had many such settlers,
