One Year.................. $6.00 Six Months................. $4.00 Greater Oregon League The decision has been made - Nyssa High School from this time on is a full-fledged member of the Greater Oregon League. The Nyssa school board and most members of the community held out hopes that league officials would go back to the old basis of a sub-district within the league, but that is not to be. We commend Superintendent W. L. Me Partland, Board Chair man Don Engstrom, and school board members Gene Stunz and Bill Schilling for taking the necessary time to travel to Madras, Wahtonka. Milton-Freewater and John Day and talk first hand with their superintendents, athletic directors and board members. They presented our problems and heard theirs. From this first-hand information, school officials were able to make an intelligent decision. The only sour note was that officials at Burns and Prineville refused to meet with our delegation, which certainly showed neither good manners nor an effort to help us in our decision. Sometimes sportsmen aren’t good sports. Sports boosters started this dialogue about a month ago, with the sure knowledge that a decision must be made, and soon, and we commend them also. They discussed the pro blems with the school board in a helpful and informative spirit, and without rancor, and have pledged their help in the future. It has been increasingly apparent that our days as a full- fledged member of the SRV are nearing an end. We will un doubtedly continue to play some of our historic and traditional foes in most sports, and well we should. The decision has been made, and as usual when all facts are known and right-thinking people sit down in a spirit of trust and sincerity, it seems to be the right one. Some additional cost will be necessary. The school board is right in insisting that the teams be sent on the longer trips in the safety and comfort of chartered transportation. Again, these costs are not great and amount to only pennies to the average taxpayer. Nyssa people have always supported our teams well, even in the years when victories were pretty far apart. We can be sure now that our good teams and top athletes will receive all the support and recognition that they deserve. Whatever differences may have existed as how to best solve this problem, let’s abide by the decision that has been made by our responsible and well-informed school officials and support them all the way. That they went those extra miles to be well- informed speaks well of the people we have elected to re present us. nazarene ¡^OBITUARIES CHURCH NOTES SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3 - District Church Schools Con vention will convene at the First Church of the Nazarene in Boise at 9 a.m. SUNDAY - Sunday School Classes for everyone, 9 45 a.m. Family Hour with Junior, Teens and Adult groups meeting 6 00 p.m. Evening Gospel Hour • 7 00 p.m. TUESDAY - Young Women’s Bible Study at the home of Mary Hawkins - 9 45 a.m. WEDNESDAY - Mid-week for Caravan, service time Teens and Adult Bible Study 7 30 p.m. Choir practice at 8 30 p.m. The weekend of February 9, 10, and 11 is scheikiled to be an important time when the District NET Team, composed of outstanding young people from the district, will be inN’yssa for services.

IN MEMORY OF NORA LONGORIA BY JOYCE HANEY She was the sweetest girl you could ever meet, The best of friends and quite unique. Whenever you had a problem come near. She was always there, to comfort and cheer. She was very strong in her lieart and soul. And was not afraid, when II was her time to go. She was the best friend I ever had. And when she died, 1 was very sad. One thing that makes me very glad. Is someday, I’ll sec her in that great above land. I can just imagine what it will be like, Running to meet each other al first sight We will talk together, like we use to do, and look for others, we once knew. I can think how neat it will be, My best friend and I, together one«- more Forever and ever, >n that l» autiful shore b h would have approached nearer to the idea <>f miracle if Jonah had swallowed a whale I'Hinman Paine)
