CANDIDATES FOR
BASKETBALL TEAM
MEET WITH McCRAE
About 30 boys who intend to
make the Vernonia high Bchool
basketball squad, met in Mr. Mc­
Crae’s room Friday evening.
Coach McCrae explained to
them the importance of building
up a fine spirit. He also set be­
fore them a few good rules to
follow.
Practice began Monday even­
ing at the grade school.
STUDENT BODY MEETING
FAVORS NEWS äUITS
FOR BASKETBALL
Motions were made and passed
that new basketball suits would
be purchased for the basketball
team and that letters would be
purchased for the football letter-
men at a student body meeting
held Monday during activity
period.
The juniors and seniors are
going to donate the money taken
in from the dance for payment
of the letters. If this does not
cover the expense the rest will
be paid by the student body.

watch where it goes.
This is a very bum week for

taken up.
The typists of this school are
very nervous. So nervous, in fact,

That police dog that has been
hanging around here lately is
very smart. It will stand on its
hind legs (if you hold its front
legs up).
Here’s some advice to the
freshmen: Next year take up the
study of hieroglyphics so when
you become a junior you can
read the typing assignments.
You should have heard the
moaning and groaning in the
senior English class the other
day when the teacher announced
that a five thousand word theme
was to be written some time be­
fore the semester is up. That’s
to take the place of book reports.
These modern high school girls
certainly have queer ideas. They

remover, buy brilliantine and
shampoo, wear backless dresses
and have part of them dragging

quantity of rouge, powder, and
all the stuff that goes with it,

Let's have something personal
for a change.

“They left an awful bunch of
pages in this book.” It all goes
to show that the school library
