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.

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,
