LEGISLATURE Friday March 2, the members. of the Junior and Senior classes and Mrs. Gates visited Salem for the main purpose of attendn ing the State Legislature. While there, We also had the opportunity to visit the State Penitentiary and the State Forestry Building. When We arrived at Salem We went directs ly to the Capital Building and to the House of Representatives. We were very thrilled to have the Speaker acknowledge our visit but, as there was so much noise and confusion, we were unable to hear much of interest so went on to the Senate. We found it much quieter and heard some good debate, At eleven ofclock we were conducted on a tour which .finally ended at the base of the figure on top of the building. From this point we had a very good view of the city. ' After .lunch we Went out-to the peniten- tlary and were shown through the various parts of the main buildings, including the death chamber, kitchen, and dining room. Some of the boys bought rings made by the inmates. We then visited the Forestry Building and were shownr through the rooms, each of which was finished in a different kind of Oregon wood. We were also shown and exten- sive exhibit of samples of Oregon timber which is the most complete of its kind in- this country. The rest of the 'afternoon was left to the whims of the students. We left Salem at seven o'clock and stopped at Aumsv1lleQ There we saw Jefferson and Mill City come out vice torious. in their games with Aumsville and Saint Boniface in the league tournament. Our last stop was for refreshments at the Bank Cafe, then homeg thus ending a busy and instructive school day. 4 Robert Dugart lliix af' c , x sane- v
