Beauty Capital of Oregon
For three years now we have had occasion to editorialize on
the accomplishments of our Nyssa girls in beauty pageants,
and each year their successes become more incredible. We
have previously suggested that Nyssa should be called the
Beauty Capital of Oregon. But then again, doesn’t Sugar City
say it all?
Incredible indeed! Another Miss Oregon, the second since
1973. Shan Moss. Miss Malheur County, is now Miss Oregon
and our state couldn't have a better representative
Congratulations Shan, this community and county are very
proud of you.
Just three years ago another Nyssa girl. Nancy Jackson
wore the crown of Miss Oregon, and represented the state in
the Miss America pageant. A year or two earlier Peggy Moore
was Miss Utah in the Miss U.S.A, pageant. The long list of
girls who have been Miss Malheur County from our city is
also impressive
We said it before, and are forced to repeat, that the
important thing is that all of these girls, in addition to beauty,
talent and character, have all earned scholastic honors in high
school and in their respective colleges and universities.
The accomplishments of these girls reflects well on their
families, their community, and their schools. These honors
are won only by hard work, in addition to beauty and talent.
Shan is just starting on her important year, which includes
the Miss America pageant at Atlantic City and a year of
representing Oregon as its official hostess. She will return to
Nyssa about July 24. and arrangements will soon be made to
give her a royal welcome.
Nyssa and Malheur County can be very proud of Shan
Moss, and of all the girls who have represented us so well.

OBITUARIES
LETTER
TO EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
As students of Nyssa High
School, we would like to
express our opinions that the
recent letter to the editor
concerning the new school,
was the best example of
NARROW-MINDEDNESS
we have ever seen. To clarify
this statement, we would like
to pose a few questions to the
people that feel that spend
ing a lot ot taxpayers money
on the new school is useless:
1. In remembering the old
school, (before it burned
down), how many of you can
see that, with the new
courses being offered to the
students of Nyssa High, that
the facilities we had were ra
pidly becoming inadequate?
2. How many of you have
taken time to go down and
walk through the entire
school as it is coming up. and
considered the amount of
students that will be occupy
ing it?
3. Finally: and most
important, how many have
» taken the time to talk to some
of the students and teachers
that will be occupying it.
While it is ALMOST true that
a good teacher could teach in
a barn, the writers of the last
letter neglected to consider
the need for the equipment
and facilities to teach the new
courses offered adequately.
(After all in this day and age.
the people coming out of
High School need more than
just reading, writing, and
arithmetic, and we need the
better facilities offered in the
new school to get these
skills).
Concerned students.

"You must bo ready to
wash one another's foot,"
Josua told hu disciples as bo
finished washing their foot.
He said: "The servant to not
greater than his master and
the messenger is not greater
than the man who sent him."
Thia lesson by Jesus about
serving one another is one sie
should heed now.
