Not all academically know
ledgeable high school students
crawl out of the woodwork every
nine weeks This just happens to
coincide with the mystical ap
pearance of those small sheets of
papers and carbon paper (report
cards > that strike terror into the
hearts of VHS students and
renders some parents nauseous
To some, the Honor Roll is just
something that comes with re
port cards, just as the dawn
follows the night, and to others,
making the Honor Roll can be
compared with going to the
dentist and being told that all
they need is a cleaning
All this drivel really leads up
to is the same hum-drum story
that has to be reported every
nine weeks, but because the
teacher felt that this story
needed some feeling, a little
pizazz was interjected
This quarter. 38 students

Nothing Stops The
Sports Lover
Danny Mclaran. a senior at
Vernonia High School, has had
many setbacks as far as sports
are concerned.
His first injury occured during
one of the wrestling practices at
the beginning of the season This
was a broken leg whieh put Dan
out for most of the season
This year Dan has had a few-
more injuries Football which is
another one of his favorite
activities, was out of the quest
ion for the first part of the year
when he broke his wrist in a
practice game. Another injury
occured during the last game of
the season when he sprained the
cartilage in his right knee, and
he had a cast on it for about two
weeks
Nothing seems to be able to
stop him though, because he is
right out for the wrestling this
year.

and also substitute for Mr. Gary
Curtis. Wednesday 21, while they
attended meetings for future
graduation requirements
A law passed by the 1973
Legislature requiring the licens
ing of some home bakery kitch
ens has set off alarm among
some fraternal, religious, social
and service organizations who
have traditionally conducted
occasional liake sales to raise
funds, but the law does not apply
to those who donate baked goods
to such nonprofit organizations.
The State Department of Agri
culture, responsible for licensing
bakeries, has obtained an
attorney general's opinion which
in effect exempts home kitchens
from licensing if the person
doing the baking does not do so
for money and no license is
rtxjui
required of the organization
sellit:
ling such donated goods as
long as it is a bonafide nonprofit
oganization.
In other words a woman who
bakes cakes, pies and cookies for
the church bazaar or sim ilar
fund-raising events, may do so
without a license if she does not
charge for the food
The law does apply, however,
to the housewife who wants to
pick up a little extra cash by
selling her baked goods.
The attorney general’s office
cautioned the department to
watch some organizations that
might cross the line from simple
fund raising to a frequent com
mericial venture In such a case,
the organization and perhaps its
bakers might then be required to
obtain licenses
