In the first few minutes of the

The Vernonia Loggers will en-
gage the St. Helens Lions in the
first conference game to be play
ed on the local floor today.
The Lions were defeated by
Clatskanie 12 to 8 the previous
week, and were unable to score
a field goal the first half. Verno

in a return game Saturday.
The St. Helens team has
trounced Grant and Roosevelt of
Portland; therefore the Loggers
will have a busy evening against
such a strong foe. The Vernonia
hoopsters are ready to avenge
last year’s defeat, and will give
plenty of action for the benefit
of the fans.
Editorial
SCHOOL SPIRIT
It seems from the size of the
crowd at the basketball game last
Saturday night that something is
radically wrong with the school
spirit.
When the boys are winning
they get lots of praise and hand-
shakes, but let them lose ahd
then see the encouragement they
get from the student body.
The boys won the game Sat-
urday night, not by school spirit
but by their own initiative.
If the boys do all they can to
win it looks like the student body
could do all they can to help
them.
Come on gang, let’s get up that
old spirit!
Dave Howard, who is now at
tending Oregon State college, has
been pledged to Phi Delta Theta
fraternity. Dave reports he likes
it fine and is turning out for
track now.

Several freshmen were over
heard debating the injustice of
things after being informed that
if the commercial geography class
was too big, they would be elimi

We students have decided to or-
ganize an S. P. C. T. (Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to
Teachers). Our first step toward
a national teachers’ Utopia will
be the abolition of tests. Mr. Mc
Crae always looks so sad and
depressed and apologizes for half
the period when he is forced to
give us a test. And Miss Hughes
suffers untold agonies with her
arm from writing tests on the
board. Students, shall this terrible
condition continue to exist? Shall
this blot remain on the fair name
of Vernonia high school? No! A
thousand times no! On then to
our goal—the abolition of tests
(for our dear teachers’ sake).
