G. A. A .NEWS—
The new officers who were elected
last spring will take office Septem-
br 28, at the regular O. A. A. meet­
ing. They are as follows: President
Irene
Poage;
Secretary , Ruth
Flanary,
Faculty
Advisor—Miss
Martin.
The business for the meeting will
be to make a schedule o f sports and
discuss th Oregon Point System
which we are going to use this year.
Because of hot weather there
have not been any sports so far.
Seniors go about these days wear­
ing a dignified air. The reason?
They really are at last, "the seniors”
and they have had, since last week
the very nicest of class rings and
pins to signify that they are "the
seniors.” They have spent a good
many years earning the title and
every one seems to feel that the
rings and pins are worthy enough
tol represent Nyssa High School and
its graduating class of '38. W e might
add that the seniors are certainly
proud of them.
There are several variations from
the chosen style. Some have back
grounds in-sets of rubles, emeralds
or black stones. Others have back
grounds of gold in the same mat­
erial as the rest of the rings and
pins. Each has a small emblem set
in the center bearing the letters
NHS and the word Nyssa. They are
really worth wearing but more than
that a souvintr of high school that
every senior will consider a prized
possession.

S C R U B B IN G S —
“ Ed” Boydell seems to have
a
new motto as well as a new Interest
In lie. Is It, " I f at first you don’t
succeed, try try again,” or “ Faint
heart never won fair lady” ?
Why doesn’t someone bring a fly
swatter to American History class
for Mr. Parr? I t might console him
to have other means of going after
the fly that keeps buzzing around
his head besides just the use o f his
hand.
Wasn't It nice of Mr. Hollenberg
to put Mr. Bailey and Miss Morris
together on noon duty? School ro­
mances are asways nice.

Today's housewives appreciate the amazing short-cuts that
canoed fo o d s b r in g to the k itch en — thanks to m odern
canning methods and the fertile lands o f the Golden West. Delicious fruits and vegetables,
picked at the peak o f their natural goodness, packed in containers by methods which retain
their Savor and freshness— tasty tuna and salmon straight from the ocean or rivers— flavorsome
preserved meats prepared under government supervision— rich condensed or evaporated milk
from cowa pastured on the west's abundant fields!
All these splendid foods— and many more— are a o s ils U t the ytmr round at your neighbor­
hood store as nature-fresh as the day they ware scaled, in tin o r glass, because modern methods
o f preservation keep them, so!
The progressive Union Pacific Railroad playa an important part in serving western canners
and eastern consumers. Cans and jars arc sturdy containers, but Union Pacific treats them
with the same care it gives to fragile commodities. In winter months, shipments are protected
by heater service, and by refrigeration in bo« summer weather. Prompt, safe, dependable
transportation every day, every year. Last year U oion Pacific
moved nearly a half million tons o f canned food products
to America's markets.
Ask your neighborhood grocer for nature -fresh canned foods!
