THE LETTERMEN’S DANCE
December 1, 1933
The purpose of this dance is to
raise money to pay past athletic
debts so every student in the
high school should attend. Our
athletic division must pay these
debts before they can purchase
new equipment.
There are some things neces
sary to school life and one of
these is a certain amount of so
cial functions. A student looks
forward to the chance of mixing
with fellow students and he en
joys the school functions.
A
dance, when conducted properly,
is one of these functions. The
students have a chance to get
together and the various clubs
have a chance to raise a little
money.
Also there are many students
who do not turn out for sports
so have no chance to take part
in school activities. They will en
joy attending such an event as
a dance.
Our Lettermen’s club is made
up of boys who have earned their
letters in sports. They are putting
on the dance with idea of al
lowing no "rowdyism” to be pres
ent at the affair. A good clean
dance such as this one will help
the students know each other and
will uphold the morals of the
school.

Clatskanie showed themselves
the better team last Friday night
by defeating Vernonia 33 to 17
in the grade school gym. The
game was very slow and was
attended by only a small crowd.
The second team was also de
feated 18 to' 12 by the Tiger’s
second team.
At the start of the game Clats
kanie began sinking baskets and
up a considerably large score on
Vernonia who seemed unable to
stop their attack.
At the half the score stood
14 to 4 for the Tigers and in the
third quarter they scored 12
points to 7 for Vernonia.
In the final quarter the scoring
was almost equal with Vernonia
showing a little more snap.
Olaen, of Clatskanie, was high
point man of the game with 11
points followed closely by Condit
of Vernonia with eight.
Starting line ups were:

SENIOR RHYMES BY KUGE

There are some seniors who
would like to say,
That they will receive their dip
lomas this May.
An unhappy young senior is
Jeannette John,
’Cause she finds that her fours
and fives aren’t gone.
They say that Marian McCoy’s
singing is very cute,
But Bert Mills ought to quit the
piano and play a flute.
Thomas Osborn certainly cook
ed his goose,
When he called a young lady a
big fat moose.
A strange young lady is Ber
nice Updike,
She wants to find the person
whom she looks like.
Vern Hershey bought a book
for a song,
But I wonder if he’ll put the
contents Where they b’long.
An obliging young senior is
Clara Wold,
For I heard that she has a heart
of gold.
Ed Roediger seems to have no
more stiff necks.
He must be refraining from swal
lowing toothpicks.
Mary Ann Childs was short
last fall,
But now she’s as tall as Florence
W*®.
Vern Baker knows how to
spread his fame.
But many folks con’t yet spell
his name.
Warren Aldrich has a lot of

No wonder he can quietly (?) sit

There are many more seniors
besides these I’ve named,
Now if any don’t graduate I
hope I’m net blamed.

CWA ATTRACTS
YOUNGER GENERATION
The workers of the CWA on the
high school gym has attracted a
great number of the younger
generation.
The CWA has done one good
thing: it has uncovered some
hidden talent among the young
sters. These young people survey
with a critical eye all that is go
ing on before them. In fact, when
the work does not just suit them,
they go so far as to offer sug
gestions as to how the work could
be done better.
It shows that the young people
of today are not asleep. They
are wide awake and someday
hope to build buildings that will
make the high school gym look
like the work of amateurs.
AGRICULTURE CLASS
WRITES THEME
During the last week the agri
culture class has written themes
on sheep and goats. This was
done because there was very
little information concering this
phase of agriculture and Mr. Mc
Crae, teacher, felt that more in
formation was necessary.
CARD OF THANKS
The members of the Girls’
league wish to express their ap
preciation to Mr. Greenman for
the help which he has given them
in purchasing a ping-pong table.
Vocal Solo Will Appear, Piano
Duet To Be Played;
To Be Speeches
The first assembly sponsored
this year by the Girls’ league of
the Vernonia high school will take
place this afternoon at one o’
clock. The public is cordially in
vited.
A vocal trio consisted of Eve
lyn Varley, Mary Kauffman, and
Alice Hoffman will sing a few
numbers. A piano duet will be
played by Maxine Bollinger and
Jeanne Hughes. There will also
be several speeches given by mem
bers of the Girls’ league.
The girls have been working
hard on this assembly and suc
cess seems to be assured.
Elizabeth Ek: Listen folks, I
just went to see the kystal grazer
and I believe he’s the bunk. He
couldn’t answer a few questions
that Dick Lewis asked him re
cently. Besides he slams people
whenever he gets a chance.
Jeanne Hughes: Yes, in fact,
one of his fortunes about me was
censored. The very idea. He said
I had no brains. I’d like to do
something desperate to him.
Alice Hoffman: Yes, and he
said I was going to have several
years of bad luck.
Thomas Osborn: And he said
I had no chance to improve my
self unless I learned how to write
better English. I don’t want to
write for a living anyhow.
Dick Lewis: No, Thomas,“you
should start a nose blowing mar
athon.
,
Florence Wall: I’m mad too. He
told me a long time ago that I
never would make any money if
I designed clothing for a nudist
colony.
Elizabeth Ek: Then, it’s agreed
that we should do something to
our dear (?) old (?) Kli Baldi.
Let’s break his kystal.
Jeanne Hughes: Now, Maxine
Bollinger and and I ought to
play him a duet on the piano.
That would fix him.
Ed Roediger: You’re all wrong.
Harold Heenan should make some
kind of gas and ’fixiate him.
Bill Lumm: (overhearing last
remark), Hey, what’s going on
here?
(He is told of the deep plot
against the kystal grazer.)
Listen folks, you’ve got the
wrong idea of the whole thing . ..
