One Year.................... $6.00 Six Months...................$4.00 Student Athletes Honored We have editorialised on this subject before, but we think it is worth repeating. We are constantly amazed and applaud the high scholastic honors achieved by our best athletes. We feature in this weeks Journal Rod Lewis and Scott Ableman. Both exceptional athletes, but more important, both exceptional scholars. Rod returned from Corvallis this week after winning high honors in the Oregon Junior Academy of Science at Oregon State University. He will return March 9 to present his project at the Oregon Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. In May he will be one of six Oregon students to attend the National Science and Humanities Symposium to be held at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York. Rod won the Ontario Elks Youth Leadership contest last December. In addition to being Student Body President, mem ber of the high school band and cboir, he has been a student leader and athlete throughout his entire scholastic career. He was quarterback of the football team and a leading scorer and rebounder on the basketball team, and we are just touching lightly on his accomplishments. Scott Ableman was presented with a $150 scholarship last week as winner of the most valuable student award given by the Ontario Elks Lodge, to addition to being a 4.0 student, Scott was an all-star lineman on the football team, playing both ways on offense and defense. He is one of the valley's finest wrestlers, coming within two seconds of being unbeaten, and finished with a 20-1 record and will represent Nyssa at the State Wrestling Tournament in Corvallis this weekend. Listed on the recent high school honor roll were Manuel Perez and Dar Haney, who will also represent Nyssa at the state wrestling tournament. Pat Ross, John Tensen, Nico Hop man were honor roll students who played on the SRV Cham pionship basketball team. Many other student athletes were named, and almost without exception members of our athletic teams are good students. The girls were purposely left off this small attempt at praise, but they are given full honors for their accomplishments through out the year. We only want to point out the kind of students who have led our teams to championships throughout the year. These are accomplishments we can all be proud of. OBITI ARIES Chariot E. Walker Chariot E.
