Eight Teams Are to
Enter Tournament
In Astoria 7th-9th
Eight teams are to be entered
in the annual district basketball
tournament to 'be held at Astoria
March 7, 8 and 9.
Astoria and Seaside ■will repre-
sent Clatsop county. Vemonia,
St. Helens, Clatskanie, Scappoose
and Rainier are entered from Co­
lumbia county.
The Vernonia Loggers will be
paired against the husky Astoria
Fishermen in the first game of
the tournament. Astoria won both
the district and state champion­
ships last year and are heavy fa­
vorites to repeat again this sea­
son. The Fishermen have the tall­
est center in the league, Kokka,
who stands 6 ft. 4 in. in his stock­
ing feet. The remainder of their
hoopsters average 6 ft. 1 in. in
height. They also have a star
player, Sarpola, who is their
forward mainstay and an all­
state man.
The Loggers average about
5 ft. 9 in. in height. Holcomb
and Henderson will start at the
forward positions; Condit at cen-
ter; Meeker and King at the
guard posts.
Thus Vernonia has a very slim
chance to overthrow the Fisher­
men, but our boys will be in
there fighting every moment, and
may come home in second or
third position.

MEMORIES
Students find that when six-
weeks tests come around that
their memories are rather dull
and rusty.
It is great to learn things in
school but it is greater if you
can remember or recall at a min-
utes notice things that you have
learned.
It is a great help to be able
to have the answers right on
the tip of your tongue! •even
the most important things—for
in the long run that is all that
counts.
In regard to “memories” the
following article is taken from
“The Club,” Hastings, Nebraska.
“We have different kinds of
memories; those of the past and
those of the present. These two
can usually be divided into good
and bad memories. The kind of
memory taken up in this dis­
course is that power which most
students possess that enables them
to find their caps where they

Vernonia Drops
Conference Game
To Clatskanie
A senior class meeting was
SENIORS CHOOSE
COLORS, MOTTO, FLOWER
TIMBERLINE STAFF
held Monday, during activity per­
iod, to decide the class colors,
motto, and flowers.
The class decided upon white
rose buds as their graduation
flowers, “Labor Conquers All” is
their motto, Jade green and sil­
ver is their class colors.
They talked about having their
pictures taken, but no definite de­
cision was made.
FORECAST
The Loggers will wind up their
conference schedule by playing
the Scappoose Indians in their
final hoop game of the year on
the local floor tonight.
The outcome is hard to predict,
but the local hoopsters will be
gunning for a victory every mo­
ment of the game, so that they
might end up the season with a
win. Hoop enthusiasts will be as­
sured of a battle packed full of
thrills galore.
LEAGUE APPRECIATES GIFT
Unable to cope with the speed
and sharpshooting of the Clatska­
nie Tigers, Vernonia dropped a
conference game to their oppon­
ents 34-13, Friday, Feb. 22.
The Loggers put up a valiant
fight every second of the game.
Vernonia was handicapped in the
second half when Holcomb and
Henderson, our forward main­
stays, were put out on personal
fouls. During the excitement in
the latter part of the third quar­
ter, Clatskanie had six players
on the floor instead of five.
Eby and Ahonen featured for
the Tigers with 14 and 8 points
respectively. King starred for
Vernonia by tallying 5 counts.
