First Basketball Game
In the opening game of the
basketball tournament, Thursday,
the fast Westimber CCC team de
feated the high school hoopsters
22-12.

The high school boys, due to
insufficient practice, were unable
to find the basket very often, but
they played a fine defensive
game against their strong op
ponents.
Westimber was held to seven
points in the first quarter, while
the high school rolled in two field
goals. During the second period
Westimber slipped in six points
while holding their opponents to

Vernonia to Play
Beaverton Quintet
On Opponent’s Floor
The Vernonia hoop stars are
going to play the strong Beaver
ton high quintet on the oppon
ent’s floor this Friday.
This game will be the first
real test of this year’s basket
ball team. The outcome is very
uncertain for Vernonia has never
played against Beaverton before.
A return game will be played
on January 22. A group of stu
dents expect to go along with
the team to lend their support.
GIRLS’ ATHLETIC CLUB
The Girls’ Athletic club bps
not, as yet, done much toward
playing basketball. They have had
no means of raising money to
buy material to play with, but
the Girls’ league is planning to
give them some money from the
proceeds of their bazaar and this
money will go to buy a basket
ball and some nets for baskets.
It seems that these girls who are
interested in playing basketball
do not get much encouragement
from anyone outside of the club.
If they did have a little more
backing, they might be able to
develop a girls’ team that the
school would be proud ot.
STUDENT BODY MEETING
A student body meeting was
held Monday during activity per
iod. President Holcomb announc
ed that a box would be placed up
on the stage in which the names
for the football and basketball
team may be placed. Friday they
will vote on the selected names.
Mr. McEntire announced the
basketball game to be held to
night at Beaverton. A bus is to
be taken to Beaverton. All stud
ents who wish to go may go for
25 cents a round trip.
Mr. McEntire also announced
that the seniors were to sponsor
the Christmas program to be held
this afternoon.
