The students of the Vernonia high school were more interested in the election this year than usual, due to the fact that Mr. Wilkerson, their former principal and friend was running for office.

Here and There Column REPORTERS Thelma Lincoln Lolamae Smith TYPEWRITER DAYS Does a typewriter live a hard life? One can hardly know, but if we stop a while and think of all the ill-treatment a typewriter goes through every day, perhaps an understanding would come be tween us and that awkward piece of mechanism. All day long, from early morn ing to late afternoon, the key board is pounded with unmerciful jabs, until the very clatter of the keys has become a dull mon otonous tattoo. The only protest a typewriter can utter is the racket of the keys, and in the latter part of the day, you might hear the faithful rythmic beat, long after the others are hooded and silent. A typewriter never knows from one minute to the next how it will be treated. At one moment rough hands seize it and threaten to dislodge every spring and bolt. The only thing that saves it is the bell. Then perhaps for 45 minutes, dainty fingertips will flick over the keys with the ut most care for their behavior. For a full period it may remain sil ent for the idle student before it. Can’t you imagine a typewriter sighs for relief when a black hood envelopes it at night and the only memory of the oay is scores of finger prints marked out by scores of others? June Michener Editorial ARMISTICE DAY Armistice day should mean a great deal to the average student of Vernonia high school, because in the future it will be the young people of today that will decide whether we will have war or peace. It will be the young gen eration of today that will be run ning the government, so it should make everyone more determined to make the best of their life. On this day everyone should take a vow to do their very best to keep America in peace rather than in war. APPRECIATION A sizeable and enthusiastic crowd surged about the sidelines as Vernonia trounced St. Marys Academy 43-0 Monday in an Arm istice day game.
