CHEMISTRY CLASS CREATES
UNPLEASANT ODOR
The chemistry class caused
many students to go around the
halls holding their noses last
Thursday. The class was making
hydrogen sulphide.
In the course of the experi-
ments the making of hydrogen
sulphide is necessary. Although
this was very unpleasant to all
concerned, it had to be done. The
senior room received the most
of the gas, as the ventilator goes
through the floor to the chemistry
room.

It wasn’t so long ago that the

they just write letters about
them.
It is surprising how nice the
freshmen are to the upper class­
men so close to Christmas.

The Vernonia high school bas­
ketball quintet lost its return
game with Forest Grove Thurs­
day night at the grade school gym
by the score of 32-20.
The game was very interesting
until the last quarter. After that
the Forest Grove team increased
its lead more easily.
The game was hard-fought and
especially so for Vernonia since
there were two very tall men on
the Forest Grove team.
The outstanding players of the
game were Forest Grove’s center;
Barker, Vernonia guard; and
George, Vernonia center. Holly

STUDENT BODY MEETING
The student body meeting was
opened by President Oscar Sor-
lee Thursday, December 17. The
purpose of this meeting was to
decide that each student bring a
penny for each birthday to buy
Christmas candy.
Willard Ennis lead the student
body in a yell practice for the
Forest Grove game.
REV. PLUMER MAKES SPEECH
TO CIVICS CLASS
A speech entitled “My Coun­
try” was given to the civics class
Friday, December 18, by Rev.
Plumer, pastor of the Evangeli-
cal church.
Mr. Plumer said that our coun-
try is far better off in most ways
than any other country. The oth­
er countries seem to know it too,
because when something happens
to other countries and they need
money, they immediately ask the
United States for help. He gave
the example of Japan, when war
broke out and they immediately
asked the United States for aid
and received it.
He also explained to the class
about the Christmas tree, Yule
Log and Santa Claus. It was
learned that Santa Claus custom
was originated in Holland, the
Christmas tree in Germany, and
the Yule Log in England.
Mr. Fisher, the owner and man­
ager of the Vernonia Eagle, is to
make the next speech to the
class.
The high school seniors are
very busy with Christmas. The
program will be:
A talk by Willard Ennis, class
president; a piece, “Golden Mo­
ments”, by the orchestra; a talk
by Gertrude Ek, entitled “Christ­
mas”; a song by some of the
senior girls, “Silent Night, Holy
Night;” a guitar number by Cleo
Hall; poem by Bertha Gray; song,
“Good-night Sweetheart,” by the
senior girls; a reading by Helen
Charlesworth; a selection by the
orchestra entitled, “Slumberland
Waltz;” a song by Marian Lind­
ley, and a song, “Jingle Bells,”
by the senior girls and assembly.
NEWSY BITS

The art class placed their
works on display in the high

Funds for Project Started
Last Year.
University of Oregon, Eugene—
An additional sum of $6,750 to
supplement a grant of $10,000 made
last year by the Carnegie Corpora­
tion to the University of Oregon
for research in the field of artistic
appreciation has been awarded the
university, it is announced by Dr.
Arnold Bennett Hall, president.
Work already under way and par­
tially completed promises to bring
out remarkable findings in this
phase of modern education, Dr.
Hall says.
Based on the belief long held by
modern psychologists and educa­
tors that human behavior is condi­
tioned by emotions rather than in­
tellect, the project under way here
is seeking to develop a symmetri­
cal program of education that
would deal with all phases of life.
Training and development of emo­
tional as well as intellectual ac­
tivities is included as a vital part
of this program.
The work here was started last
year under the direction of a com­
mittee composed of leading faculty
members of the university. The
project is seeking definitely to de­
termine what if any relationship
exists between the enhanced capac­
ity for appreciation of beauty in
the graphic arts, literature, musig
and nature and the enhancement of
one’s altruistic urge, response to
civic appeal and ideals in personal
life. This is being done by a
series of tests given not only to
students but to faculty members
and others.
basketball practice until after the
holidays.
The Rainbow Girls Christmas
party was given last Tuesday.
Each one brought a present.
The orchestra has obtained
three new members: Dorothy Giv-
in, clarinet; Clara Wold, trom­
bone; and Violet Wold, cornet.
Each member of the student
body brought to school on Mon­
day a penny for each birthday.
The total amount was $13.10.
Approximately 76 pounds of can­
dy were brought and distributed
among the students. Each student
received about eight ounces of
candy.
Bertha Gray completed her
high school work last Wednesday,
and plans to enter the University
of Oregon after the holidays.
