Are you hungry? Let's stop at Ugo's (Good thing it's not Friday night or it'd be very crowded!) IN D “Dallas, Texas?” How many times have you heard this line? Tracie Steggell gives an example — “We were in Salem just cruising around in a Jeep and it was just us girls. Well, we pulled up next to these guys and starting talking to them. They asked us where we were from and we told them Dallas”. It just so happened that the Jeep we were in had Texas plates so naturally they thought we were from Dallas, Texas. They started asking us questions like — “When did you move up here? AND “Why did you move to Oregon?” At first we didn't know what they were talking about then we put two and two together and realized the license plates said Texas on them. So we did our fake accents and answered their questions! Actually it was quite funny.” Does that sound familiar? Well, it seems that living in a small town had some advantages — such as when you go to the store it’s almost guaranteed you'll see someone you know. Or if there is something you want to know — it's very easy to obtain information — if you catch the drift! O.K., buckle up kids, because we are going to take you on our own personal guided tour of Dallas? Are you excited? Come on, let's go! (By the way, we start at the picture on the right) We re almost there kids! Only 5 miles and we are in the big D ! By — Ann, Michelle, Tina and Tracie DALLAS A 5

This looks like a good place to get a 32 ouncer. We also need some gas. Fill it up please! This is our famous Hollywood Boulevard. (No joke) James Gardner was fishin here! The Fox! Let's go see Three Amigos or Ferris Bueller. What would there be without the Fox?! Starlite Lanes? At the peak of our tour, to your left is the old courthouse. Built in the 19th century, it’s taken a lickin' and the clock's still tickin’! 4

Nurse Goodbody giving Mr. August a physical during the assembly before the finals. Nurse Goodbody was Sherry Burbank The cartwheel! It would have been bad enough, for me. to be in front of the whole school at an assembly. It would have been even worse if the whole gym started filling with “cartwheel — clap-clap — cartwheel! I would sweat hard, turn red. and hope for the best It has to be a quick decision. If I do it I will probably fall on my butt. If I don’t do it everyone will boo me! Oh no! It never mattered how well you did it. All that mattered was that you tried! There weren’t to many who didn’t do it. Even our principal. Mr. Hurt did one! He ended up on the floor. It was a good try! I thought it was neat that our principal could take time out and make us all laugh! Why did we have the cartwheel tradition? Sophomore Sonia Harms thought. Because people like to make fools out of their friends. To allow the teachers to show their spirit. Junior, Nolan Gerber thought. Liz Dawson said, I don’t know why it got started but it has continued as a symbol of school spirit.” Also Doug Akin replied. ”1 don’t know, something different, something the old fogies made up. I guess. When he was asked why the tradition got started. Standing next to Mr. Lyell. Mr. Betschart said, Because there are fat. old men like us that can't do them.” Whatever the reason for the cartwheel, it’s fun. Something the whole school gets into and can have fun with! Wouldn’t it be strange without the cartwheel? By Ann Berry
