Succulent Red Apple
Causes Big Problem
Last week Chris Boyle. VHS
English and psychology teacher,
had a rather odd incident happen
to him as he was buying an
apple
While waiting to purchase the
succulent fruit, Boyle mistak-
edlv started to eat the apple
This posed a rather d ifficult
problem when he realized that
he had not yet paid for the apple
It also turned out to be a worse
problem for the cashier, as the
price of the apple was based on
how much it weighed
This unusual incident brings
up a question. “ How can a
psychology teacher be so forget
fu l” '’ The answer is easy. Any
teacher that goes through a full
day of teaching is bound to be
forgetful, and in some cases sort
of odd acting
An old Christian legend says
that on the night Christ was born
every tree in the forest blossom
ed and bore fru it An evergreen
can’t do that, but its fragrance
and freshness can last the whole
holiday season with new prolong
live-cut Christmas tree preserv
er This liquid mixes with water
and "feeds the tree preventing
drying out and dropping needles

Mistakes Highlight
Christmas Program
The firs t annual Hawaiian
Christmas Program in the grade
school gym was highlighted by
the "little mistakes" that are
common to a first-tim e pro
duction
To start off the evening, the
court was supposed to parade to
a lighted stage Unfortunately,
the first half of the court paraded
to a dark stage This situation
was soon resolved by turning the
lights on in the middle of the
procession
For the next few minutes, the
show ran smoothly Then came a
beautiful Hawaiian song that
was on tape To the g ir l’s
surprise, the tape was played
slightly faster than it should
have been This was not a large
mistake since the tape was
easily rewound and started
again.
Several times during the show,
acts were delayed by girls not
changing their clothes fast
enough The 12 Days of Christ
mas was the highlight of the
mistakes The girls marched on
stage late without their num
bered cards While the back-
stage crew furiously looked for
the missing cards, the girls
started singing in the dark The
cards were found and distributed
to the girls after a b rilliant job of
covering up the mistake by the
announcer.
Even after these mistakes, the
program turned out to be a
tremendous success Everyone
is invited to come back next
year
Pep Assembly Held

For the first time ever a pep
assembly was held for the

team collected their first victory
of the season, from Knappa,
when they beat them by a score
of 57 to 33.
Ken Roberts, the cross country
coach, has takeii on the job of
coaching the freshman, and the
first game seemed to show some
promise for the future
In the first quarter D.J Cole,
and Vince Baker let! the Logger
scorers with four points apiece
This quarter showed no evidence
of what the final score would be
like At the buzzer Vernonia only
led by a score of 12 to 11.
The second penixl scoring was
evenly distributed among the
team members, and the score
still didn't show any signs of a
slaughter, with the half-time
score at 22 to 17.
Coach Roberts talk during the
half time must have really fired
up his team, because they came
back to score 21 points in the
third period to lenghten their
lead to 19 points The score was
43 to 24
The Loggers kept their lead
throughout the rest of the game,
and the gun blew seeing the
score of Vernonia 57 and Knappa
33
High scorers for the Diggers
were, Vince Baker with 14
points. Gary Ellson 13, and D.J
Cole contributed 9 points to the
Logger total
