PAGES FOUR—VERNONIA EAGLE Loggers Win From Forest Grove On Local Floor GIRLS’ LEAGUE PLANS TO RAISE MONEY Plans are now being made by the Girls’ league to raise money during the second semester. Tues­ day, in the Girls’ league meeting in Mr. Mills’ room, election of of­ ficers will be held for the second semester term. Other beneficial work is being done by the girls, including clean­ up work in the girls’ rest room and the furnishing of the teach­ ers’ rest room. The hard fighting Vernonia “Loggers” avenged a previous de­ feat by winning a 22-16 victory over the Forest Grove hoopsters in a return game Saturday, Jan. 12, on the local floor. Very few field goals resulted by the tight checking of both teams throughout the game.

Rainier then followed by tallying three counters on free throws in the same period, to take the lead 3-1. The Columbians smothered the basket with shots in the second quarter to gain the lead at the half 12-6. In the first few minutes of the last quarter, the Loggers knotted the score 21-21. But the Rainier hoopsters bombarded the hoop with shots which went straight and true, while holding the Log­ gers to a lone field goal, and thus ending victorious 28-23. Roy Bauserman, fast Colum­ bian forward, led the scoring with 12 points. Condit of the Loggers was runner-up by caging eight counters.

By The Sweat Of His Brow Here and There By GEORGE STORM 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 nated. Ye scribe was considerably em­ barrassed when upon taking a whole bunch of papers out of the waste paper basket in the hope of finding some nice, juicy grades they all turned out to belong to Margaret McNutt, and were all “ones” at that. 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). Miss Drake is continually find­ ing some gift from her students in her desk. (It couldn’t be that the students are working for ■grades could it?)
