GAA held a meeting Wednes
day January Sand Youth Legis
lature had a meeting last Thurs
day
The GAA meeting was called
to order by President Connie
Kyser The meeting was held to
discuss the selling of the Logger
T shirts
The T-shirts are blue and
white striped with a drawing of a
logger and the words Vernonia
Loggers in yellow
They w ill fit almost anyone
The T shirts come in small,
medium and large and sell for
$3.25 If wanted they can be
ordered in extra large
If anyone wants to buy one
they may contact club adviser.
Mrs Juanita Arrant. Kay Batty,
Karen Enneberg or the Vernonia
High School If anyone wants to
see one of the T-shirts there is
one on display in the display case
in the front hall of the high
school
A youth legislature meeting
was held to inform the students
about the dead lines for their
legislative bills and to pass out
pre-legislature
material
for
everyone to read
There w ill be more meetings in
the coming weeks to get the

get ready to go to Salem
F T A Plans Taco Feed
For Frid ay, Jan. 18
On Tuesday . January 8. a FTA
meeting was held in Room 3. The
first item talked about was the
annually held Taco Feed It w ill
be on January 18. from 5 to 7
p m Jill Beamish and Roxvne
O'Neil were appointed to find out
the approximate cost of the
supplies needed These w ill then
determine the cost of tickets,
which w ill be sold early as well
as at the door Roxyne O'Neil.
Patty Cone, and Jodi Robertson
are the advertising committee
Next item of business was the
planned trip to Benson High
School. A reply from the school
was received in December say
ing FTA is welcome to visit
Benson on January 15. It is very
doubtful whether or not the club
w ill be able to make the trip
because of tlx? gas shortage
They are not allowed to take a
bus and separate cars are a l
most out of the question for fear
of running out of gas and not
being able to travel back home.

THE
The Harlem Stars, an ex
tremely dexterious basketball
team w ill appear at Vernonia
High School as part of a fund
raising program sponsored by
the Paul Bunyon dub
The hilarious Harlem Stars,
advertised as the greatest and
funniest basketball team in the
country, are a combination of
Negro stars who tour the world
making fans laugh Fans w ill see
a fancy exhibition of razzle
dazzle ball handling, intricate
pass patterns and both planned
and impromptu comedy acts
The Stars are unique in the
fact that they never run up a big
score against opponents It is
their policy to keep the game
close, devoting much time to
comedy
The Stars began their season
in Alaska the last week in
September and w ill hit between
thirty-six or forty states and
several foreign countries Some
of these are Canada. Mexico.
Australia. Japan, and some
parts of Europe
Most of the Harlem Stars are
ex-high school a n d college
standouts One of these is Char
les "Bullet’ Hawkins The name
Bullet not only describes his
flashy speed, but it also explains
his sharp bullet like passes
A native of Texas. Charles
Hawkins name was respected
through out the state during Ins
high school days at Dunbar High
in Lubbock While in high school,
he was an all-around athletic He
earned honors at three times,
all-tournament, all-state, and
most valuable player He then
resumed his career in his home
town at Lubbock Christian Col
lege While at Lubbock Christ
iän. he was the teams leading
scorer He also set a school
record of 59 points
Hawkins joined the Stars in
1966 He used his jumping and
shooting ability to earn honors as
one of the Harlem Stars’ top
players Because of his fancy
ball handling and his humorous
style he was called upon to carry
the load as the top showman
Another Star is Eddie "Hap
p y " Nelson Eddie’s ball playing
career began at Big Springs

Hockey Freaks Take
Advantage of Ice
When the cold east wind comes
up and the temperature starts to
drop then the lakes and rivers
start to freeze up Then out of
nowhere
comes the almost
forgotten ice sport equipment
This has been the case during
the recent cold spell There has
been an accumulation of three to
seven inches of ice on Lake
Vernonia There has also been a
rare outbreaking of hockey and
skating on the lake
There is a group of high school
boys who have been playing
hockey on a section of the lake
for most of the past cold spell
They mark out an area with a
goal on each end and away they
go for the next hour or so killing
each other for a stupid little
black puck The average equip
ment consists of a makeshift
hockey stick and a pair of tennis
shoes or boots, and a few pieces
of warm clothing
The first few times on the ice
one is afraid it w ill break, but
after a while he forgets about
falling through because his main
worry is being killed by another
idiot playing hockey
Is it all a hoax, or does George
Val George possess a m agnifi
cent g ift’’ Yes. that is the
question’
Val George has traveled the
four corners of the earth lectur
ing and entertaining countless
thousands with his baffling dem
onstrations of E.S.P
A compelling and dynamic
showman he SKILLFU LLY and
TASTEFULLY guides his au
dience through amazing and
fascinating possibilities of the
mind The audience is kept spell
bound and on the edge of their
seats.
While others have sought to
solve the mystery of the Uni
verse. Val George has spent a
lifetim e attempting to discover
the enigma of the human mind
No one w ill believe what he
can do! Watch him at the
Washington Grade School on
Monday January 21. at 2:50 in
the afternoon
Freezing Weather
Slows Down Fishing
Steclheaders this year have
caught just enough Ironheads to
just get them excited for the big
runs to start
As we all know the recent cold
snap froze parts of the rivers
over and put large pieces of ice
floating down the stream Fish
ing from boats was almost
impossible because of the ice
banging into the boats and
snagging fishing lines
There have been scattered
reports from the local fishermen
of success, but cool weather was
hampering many anglers sev
erely.
The largest fish taken in the
local area have been a 17
pounder and a 15 pounder, both
taken in the same hole and by
newcomers Io the sport.

ter dominance of the second
quarter was sparked by Terry
Larson, who hit ten out of 11
shots The second quarter saw
Rainier surge ahead of the
Loggers with a score of 43 32.
The last two quarters were
just as liad for the Loggers as
they could not seem to get the
bali through the basket

ran short
The final buzzer saw Rainier
well ahead of Vernonia with tin1
score 75-55
