FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1934. VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON PAGE THREE --------- VERNONIA HIGH SCHOOL TIMBERLINE--------- Clatskanie Wins from Locals 33-17 Editorials BASKETBALL SCORES FOR GAMES PLAYED • 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. Vernonia 31 ........ Jewell 23 December 5, 1933 Vernonia 28 ..........

Marian McCoy Sports Editor_ _ "Dave Howard 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 Frit, No wonder he can quietly (?) sit and sit There are many more seniors besides these I’ve named, Now if any don’t graduate I hope I’m net blamed.
