The Road to Success
By HAZEL E. TOMLIN
On the road to success are sign­
boards
That will guide you along on your
way
They are honesty, ambition and
reliance
If you follow them; they will re­
pay.
•
There are no shortcuts—no cross
roads—no detours
Just one straight road up a hill.
There’ll be obstructions, washouts
and, ditches
That will try your ambitions to
kiB.
•
If you ever would try to be
honest
Leave the temper behind as you
climb
Though the detours may seem to
be shorter
They swill lead you astray all the
time.
•
Be honest, ambitious and reliant
Watch out for pitfalls that kill,
’Tis a hard climb but success lies
before you
When you reach the top of the
hill.
Vernonia Loses
To Scappoose
Defeated By Close Score, 28-26;
Second Team Lose* 18-16
The Vernonia basketball team
journeyed to Scappoose last Fri­
day, where they were defeated
28 to 26 by the Scappoose team.
The second team also lost their
game by a close score of 18 to 16.
Both teams were very evenly
matched with Scappoose holding
a small . lead over Vernonia
throughout the game.
Scappoose led at half time 8
to 12 and despite the number of
times Vernonia found the basket,
they kept this four point lead.
The score stayed this way till al-
most time for the final gun when
the score stood 25 to 26. With
about a minute left to play
Scappoose broke through Vemo-
nia’s defense and brought their
score up to 28 points, and then
held Vernonia to only one point
till the game ended.
Four players tied for scoring
honors with 8 points each. They
were Holcomb and Condit of Ver­
nonia, and Pomroy and Richard­
son of Scappoose.
The Vernonia second team out­
played their opponents all through
the game but could not make
their shots count. Scappoose kept
a two point lead over them all
through the tfame although Ver-
nonia had the ball in their pos-
session most of the time.
