LOGGERS took on the Clatskanie Tigers and were off to a good

Tigers Defeat
Vernonia Five
In Friday Fray
If Coach Gary Curtis made
any New Year’s resolutions per­
taining to a winning basketball
team, he is in trouble with that
little kid that appears every year
around January 1.
It was simply a case of the
Vernonia Loggers suffering a
second half let down against the
Clatskanie Tigers Friday. Ja n ­
uary 4.
The first half started with a
bang as the hosting Loggers ran
up a 14 to 2 margin before the
over-confident Tiger team final­
ly caught on and started hitting
some outside shots. By the end of
the first quarter. Clatskanie had
turned the ball over to the
hustling VHS defense a total of
eight times
The second period was match­
ed shot for shot at the end. but
the locals saw a 12-point lead
disappear as CHS gave Vernonia
some of their own medicine by
stealing the ball Half-time came
with the Diggers holding a 33 to
27 edge.
The Logger Waterloo came
for the Vernonia five near the
end of the third quarter because
of a series of missed shots, most
of which were either under the
hoop, or in the open With 1.M0
left in the third quarter, the
visitors took the lead for the first
time in the game As time ran
out, Clatskanie suddenly found
themselves with a two-point
lead
The locals had their job cut out
for them as the taller and more
experienced Tiger bunch boost
ed their lead from two to eight
points The tallest man on the
Digger team, senior Mike Smith,
took command and sparked the
locals to tie the game about
halfway through the last quart
er Shortly after that, the Tigers
tried to hog the ball to run down
the clock, obviously it worked
because the buzzer sounded with
the Diggers on the losing end of
the score The final was Verno­
nia 58 and Clatskanie 64
Scoring honors for the Diggers
went to junior Gordy Crowston
with 22 points. Next was Mike
Smith with 13, and third was
Clinl Holsey with ten Other
scorers were Loren Kennedy
with nine and Kandy Ellson with
four
The offensive honor for Clats­
kanie went to Steve Rusche who
netted 16 of the Tigers final 64
points.

Portland Christian this coming
Saturday night I
JV's Smash
CHS Tigers
A game that belonged to either
team during the first three
periods was blown wide open by
the hosting JV Loggers on
Friday. January 4.
The first half teetered back
and forth with the Loggers
holding a one-point first period
lead, and the Tigers snatching it
away and boosting it to two at
the half time buzzer
The Loggers grabbed back the
two points lost to the Tigers and
three more. With the third
quarter gone, the locals had only
a slim three-point margin
The final quarter was the
deciding one While VHS was
making 18 of their final 63 points,
Clatskanie made only two, and a
game that had started out being
quite exciting ended with rather
a lopsided score of 63 to 43.
The high scorer for Vernonia
was the team captain, Kris
Crowston. who hit the hoop for 19
points. Next highest scorers
were Bob Brooks and Tim Titus
who made 14 and 12 points
respectively. Other scorers were
Brad Bellingham with nine,
Bryan Traylor with five, arid
Terry Ellson and Bruce King
each with two points.
The high scorer for CHS was
P Mollenhour with 16 points
Gasoline Shortage
Is Affecting VHS
The gas shortage has hit the
students and faculty of VHS
Many classes have been dis­
cussing how the gas shortage is
affecting (hem. Some students
have started walking or car
pooling The teachers also seem
worried about where they are
going to get their next tank of
gas to get to school. Before and
after school, many of the teach
ers and students can be spotted
waiting in gas lines
If the shortage gets worse, it
could cause some of the teachers
to move closer to town. Also,
some of the students might be
moving because their parents
have to move closer to their
work To save gas, VHS is
cutting down on spectator busses
and the Drivers Education Pro­
gram is doing only the bookwork
part of the course
If the gas shortage gets worse,
who knows what to expect9 The
shortage might cause a depres
sion because people can’t get to
work This would close many
businesses and raise the cost of
many products The crime rate
could also be raised Many
people are already getting their
gas robbed.
Poem Contest Held
In English Class
Thursday, December 20, Mrs
Hearing gave an assignment to
her sophomore classes, which

three prizes awarded to the top

Clauses as the prizes
The students had lo use the
letters of their names for the
beginning of each line
The lop three poem writers
were Sharon Smejkal, Carla
Becker, and Jim King
In her other classes Mrs
Hearing usually hands out candy
canes, but being ill just before
Christmas, she had to wait until
vacation was over to give them
out

Dance Features The
"Reflections" Group
After Saturday nights gume
with Dayton the Memolog class
sponsored a dance as a money
making project
The group was “ Reflections’’.
The band was somewhat differ­
ent from others that have come
to VHS because they were not
quite as loud, which “gets” to
some people and they also
weren't as long haired as most of
the others, but still were enjoyed
by the high school students.
To chaperone the dance were
Mr. and Mrs Lee Enneberg and
also the advisor and his wife. Mr
and Mrs Gary Giest
The Memolog in past years
was sponsored by a club, but this
year a new addition was added to
the school, when Memolog be
came u regular class
The class has a very hard time
trying to sponsor the Memolog
and not go in the hole at the same
time By selling advertisements,
subscriptions, und other money
making projects the students
make enough or hope to make
enough to pay for the 1973-74
edition.
Bruce Louzador Here
To Take Photographs
Last Friday, Bruce Luzader
was at VHS to take pictures of
sports and organizations for the
Memolog
Luzader was here from noon to
the end of school A number of
girls from the Memolog staff
were excused to help him
He had one complaint: He said
that when he was trying to take
candid pictures, a few people
noticed him and turned away
instead of just acting like they
normally would
He suggested that as a favor to
him and the Memolog staff, the
next time he appears at VHS to
take pictures, he would like for
everyone “to act normal.”

Tricycle Race Is
Very Interesting
Friday, January 4, VHS had a
pep assembly which was a little
diffi
fferent than any other pep
assembly because the stud dent
body was asked to sit on the
opposite side of the gym. The
assembly started with the JV
cheerleaders doing the F ig h V >
Song by themselves for the fi*
time this year The Varsity
cheerleaders then did a drill to
the song “Make Me Smile” .
The skit was next and It
consisted of two Clatskanie Tig
ers and two Vernonia Diggers
The two teams were having a
race on tricycles and the result
was that Vernonia was the
winner
