Since he trousers were old and ragged, he tore the leg off above the knee. The long trouser leg soon felt un- :omfortable, so he tore it off also. Thus, Bermuda shorts originated on the island of Bermuda in the At- antic Ocean. Because this is a tropical island, the :other natives adopted the idea of cutting off their rouser legs in order to escape some of the heat. This Jroved to be a great advantage to both men and fvomen. The innovation saved ironing for the women, ind the men could wade in the serf without rolling up heir trouser legs. The American tourist Calways on the lookout for a tew fad! quickly effected this native garb. The tour- sts were not satisfied until they had added an Ameri- :an touch-knee length socks. Then they brought their :reation to America. The American college students, in their search for cnowledge, adopted this new -creation with the true American spirit of daring adventure. When college :rofessors confronted their classes, instead of behold- ing a sea of bright shining faces, they saw only row upon row of knees-some knobby-some fat-and some mere vestiges of fiesh, drawn tightly over bone. Ridicule and harsh words only spread the fad more rapidly. Soon it extended from Maine to California. Clothing manufacturers, with their reputation for never letting a good thing die, began a campaign to further popularize the sawed-off pants . . . This advertising penetrated the eastern cities where the op- pressive heat made Bermuda shorts the answer to business men's prayer. Now it was the teenagers turn to laugh! To them nothing looked funnier than a slightly over-weight business man with his knees sticking out. This fad continued to spread in spite of the exposed knees of every size and shape. Eventually, the fad reached our remote and iso- lated school-Etna High! Teachers gasped, students snickered, and conservative townspeople asked, What Next? But Bermuda shorts had arrived and were here to stay. Girls are now planning a pair of Ber- muda shorts as an essential in their spring wardrobes. Little did that single native in Bermuda realize, when he tore off his pants legs, that this single act would start a world-wide fashion! unior Play This page sponsored by: EDDIE EDGECOMB MERCANTILE General Hardware - Building Materials - Hot Point Electrical Appliances Eddie Edgecomb - Francis Farley Fort Jones Cahfomla 0 F F I C E R S - Monty Griffith, Lee Wade, Doug Mathews, Beverlee Coathey. .4n.

Shasta N 'Ist Place Short Story Forgotten Suddenly the dull, gray sky of the morning be- came illuminated with the golden rays of the lazy old sun as it climbed from its bed of purple mountains with their snowy white night caps tilted saucily on their tops. The valley began to awaken, birds merrily chirped a good morning song as they preened themselves in the toasty warm sunshine. As the sun's rays silently stole into each tiny :orner of the valley, they came upon a farm house nestled in a patchwork quilt of fields and rolling hills. Beyond the house, a clumsy day-old colt wobbled about on its spindly legs looking very comical indeed! A young girl of about sixteen sat on an old gray boulder staring deiectedly at her legs projecting out ri front of her like two sticks with the steel braces shining in the sunlight. As if the colt had sensed her deiection, he came up and looking into her eyes seemed to say, Come walk Nith me. My legs are wobbly too, but together we :an make it. For a moment the girl's dark eyes lighted up, but he lightness quickly died away as she said, No, I :ouldn't do it for I have not walked for twelve years and shall never walk again. Even the best experts tave said so. But as she looked into the colt's eyes and saw the Jleading and determination, she began to weaken. 'I wonder-yes I- She broke oFf suddenly and then is if inspired by a great Light, she said, Colty, I think could do it. Do you suppose that it would be mossible? As the girl talked she began to unbuckle the straps if her braces and soon had both of them off. With he aid of her crutches she stood up and having cast hem away also, she stood alone for the first time ince her affliction. Her body was tense and rigid, but he knew that she must relax. Finally she was ready to begin. She put her hand In the colt's back to steady herself and together they ook one step-two steps, three-and down they went, .imbling in the green grass. The girl was seized with ianic. What if she had iniured her legs again? She soon gained control over herself and after everal minutes of feeling her legs, relief spread over er for as far as she could tell, her legs were all ight. Now, Colty, she said, you must help me get p again and we must be more careful. After many tries she found herself on her feet nce more, but being very tired the colt and she falked slowly back to the boulder to rest. Having ested a few minutes, they tried again. This they did all day taking time out only to eat. That afternoon, as the sun began to grow weary and sink toward its bed of purple, the last thing that it saw was a young girl whose radiance seemed even brighter than its own rays, walking very slowly to- wards home using iust one crutch. And by the old gray boulder lay two steel braces-forgotten. -by Nadine Smith lst Place Poem Fire in the Canyon The sun hangs hot in a brassy sky, The thirsty earth is dusty dry, The stream runs warm on the canyon floor. Oh, Lord! ls it ever going to rain anymore? As man and beast alike perspire, They watch in fear for signs of fire. Soon comes the dreaded smell of smoke- Beasts pant of air, men curse and choke, Green mountains fade in a murky pall, Yon sultry sun is an orange ball. Then belches for perdition's door Black swirling clouds with crackling roar! Red flames rush on in a blinding sheet, Blasting all with withering heat, Fire fiends rage in horrible hate As tall trees bow before their fate. Grim canyon walls become a tomb, While wild things flee from certain doom. Poor scorched fiesh leaves its horrid smell, God deliver us all from this blazing hell! Soon darkness falls-the fire is past, The tardy rain has come at last! Smoking stumps leave charred gray bones, Through blackened snags, the night wind moans. The years go by-now time has fiown- Young forests stand here, new upgrown. Rotting logs mark an ancient burn- Shy forest creatures soon return. Yon stream runs cool on the canyon floor, Oh! Please, God, let the fire fiends come no more. - -by Lynne Palmer lst Place Essay The Religion of Nature And He created man in His own image. This bit of Bible Scripture has been lodged in my mind for some time, and it took only the suggested topic of ReIigion of Nature to set me thinking. The fol- lowing idea is not new. I think many poets and philosophers had a similar idea. Perhaps to others it may seem ridiculous, perhaps it will seem so to me sometime . . . Still I think it is worth some thought. Nature is God. This is the startling realization that came to me as I watched the crystal-clear brook bubbling over the rocks on its tumbling descent. It was so like a ioyously happy child that I could almost picture one there. A spring shower-and then the glorious sunshine- causes one of Nature's most beautiful sights-the rain- bow. This seems to me to be not unlike that strange human emotion known as love-violent as a rain, gentle as the sun, and beautiful as a rainbow. The wind, the symbol of freedom, blowing through one's hair as he surveys a peaceful valley, causes to well up in one's heart the same patriotic bravery that inspired that rugged little Continental Army at Bunker Hill, the Marines at Iwo Jima, and the heroes of Heart- break Ridge in Korea. Could this not be God's way of inciting that inspiration? The thunderstorm at its height with the lightning flashing and the thunder crashing-is It not like the sight of an angry man-or perhaps even a man insane, screaming out against all the world? And does not the slow drizzle of rain seem to be like the depression one feels in a bad moment? Just as the slow rain depresses, does not a beautiful sun- rise or a sky filled with stars seem the most perfect answer to al prayer of hope? A prayer that tomorrow will be a better day than today, or that some more will be accomplished toward World Peace, that the next generation will have a fuller, better life than the one we now enioy, that our children for perhaps our children's childrenj will never know the meaning of, or see, or feel the terror and devastating effects of th Thing known as war. These are some of the thoughts that run throug my mind as I look at a clear sky filled with stars, se the sun sink behind the horizon in the West, or iu walk through the fields, feeling nearer to God becaus when one knows Nature he knows God, and with th bit of Bible Scripture quoted at the start of this pape in mind, I say, if one really knows himself he wi know God. -by Lee Wad 2nd Place Poem Ballad of the Sea There was a maid with lips of red And eyes of azure blue. She wore a scarf upon her head, With curls peeking through. Once when a fog did cover the bay And her lover went to sea, She looked into the darkness gray And said, Remember me. He told her of a distant land, Where riches he would gleen, A diamond for her pretty hand And silks of richest sheen. But the ship now his beneath a rock Of the cold, cold bay, And a roaring ocean seems to mock His words of yesterday. And often I have heard it said, When the fog drifts noiselessly, There goes a maid with a golden head To gaze-upon the sea. -by Patrica Earne FIRST ROW: Judy Vanlindt, Rae Eastlick, Nadine Smith.

The blinding lights of the operating room shone on the white-swathed surgeon and his staff, but focused on the small covered form on the high table. sl' 'k 'k This event in the life of the seven-year old girl had been building up for some time. At first she had complained pf a sore th r o at, then aearache. The family doctor, who was also a suregon, could not seem to fincll anything causing these conditions, al- though they lwere serious enough to keep the child out of school one, two, and sometimes three days a week. One morning, when she was dressing for school, she said, Mcltmmie, my stomach hurts! Where, dear? her mother asked. The child! pressed her right side. Ouchl As soon as the other children were on their way to school, the mother and child started for the doctor's office once more. After noting this new development, the doctor de- cided to perflorm a tonsilectomy and an adnoidectomy in addition to the appendectomy. 'k it 'k The scalpiel which gleamed in the steady hand of the tense-faced surgeon hesitated suddenly as the an- esthetic nurse whispered, Doctor! No respiration! 'k 'k 'k In a small room down the hall sat a sweet-faced woman with a Bible in her hands. Her eyes were closed and hier lips moved in prayer: Oh, God, if it is Thy will, dion't let anything happen to this youngest of my eight precious children. k 'k 'k In the operating room a sudden flurry of activity replaced the usual calm, efficient atmosphere. Please, God, if it is Thy will, help me to save the life of this child! this from the surgeon, for the child had completely ceased breathing, and the blue-gray pallor of death was creeping over her face. For ten agonizing miinutes the doctor had applied artificial res- piration withr no response from the patient. Then-a gasp. And another. Soon with the help of tanked oxygen which had been rushed to her side at the first indication of trouble, her breathing became more regular. s 'k it sl' The surgeon, accompanied by surgical nurse and the ta-nk of oxygen, carried the child in his arms, to the room where her mother was waiting and praying. The limp form was laid on the small, white bed. 'k 'k 'k Within twenty-four hours, the doctor had released the child, rather than the usual five days. Further proof of the miraculous ressurection and healing of this child wars in evidence when she began to swing and generally pull monkey-shines on the horizontal bars in a nearby park within four days. When the in- cision was dressed a week after the operation it was found to be entirely healed. Moreover, sh.e hadn complained of a sore throat at all after this operatior 'k 'k 'k Following the check-up, the doctor and nurse stoo looking out the window at the retreating figures c the mother and child.

Where it onct stood proudly harboring the nest of a little sparrow ii its motherly arms and brown dress, it now stands witl bare arms outstretched, telling its fate to all who see ii Fires! Floods! lt seems incredible that a few hour of nature's destructiveness can completely wipe ou years of man's laborious work, or a hundred years o natural growth. However, as the summer rolled intl fall of 1955, disastrous tires occurred in several place throughout the county. With the beginning of winter floods had taken their toll. One of the largest fires occurred in the Kidde Creek area. Everyone in Scott Valley came to witnes it. Their first thought might have been for the beauty -For truly it was a beautiful sight. During the day th smoky atmosphere gave the sun a red glow making i look like a ball of fire. At night the reflection lighter the sky for miles around as would millions of burninr candles, completely outshining the stars. Their seconr probable thought was one of sympathy for the deer birds, and other animals that had made their homes ii these forests. Floods also caused considerable damage within thi valley. A snowstorm piled the snow to considerabl depths in the mountains. Then around the middle o December, warm rains melted the snow in the mour tains. The banks of the river could not hold thi mounting water and it overflowed. ln one situation near Callahan, the approach ti the new bridge on the Callahan-Cecilville road wa washed out. Unfortunately this bridge had been buii up the river with a middle support which caused tht debris to act like a dam forcing the water to the ap proach. The two other bridges crossing the Soutl Fork River were also impassible. For' days, while thi water was on the rampage, several families wert stranded in their homes across the river from towr As the water rushed on down the valley, it took thi top soil of the farmer's land, scattered debris, destroyer fences, and caused thousands of dollars' worth o damage. Yes, i955 is surely a year Scott Valley will lonq remember. For those who were not affected persor ally by the floods, not one charred tree, but man! have been left as reminders of the fires of '55. -by Margaret Hayden EIG GRADE YW' FIRST ROW: Lorena Dillman, Lynda Orpe, Jerry Lynn Smith, Gwenn SECOND ROW: Curtis Kramer, Harry Brown, Stewart Earnest, Mar- vin Kopf, Neil Heil, Russell Smith, Jerry Johnson, Danny Deppen, Richard Reynolds.
