The School Board ★ In addition to the regular duties ot overseeing the annual business of the district, the school board has supervised many valuable improvements. Among them made during this year were the completion of the rock retaining wall on the southwest side of the school grounds, and the turfing of the football field, with an adequate watering system installed for the upkeep of the field. The building was completely renovated, with an improved lighting system in the gym for more efficient service. The new equipment purchased included: Typewriters, science equipment, adjustable shelves, one hundred new books and fifteen magazine subscriptions for the newly located library. These improvements have assisted in retaining the school's membership in The Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools; this membership having been attained for the first time last year. ★ [8] ( J.

This time we chose a tragedy, entitled, Jacob Comes Heme by William Kozlenko, which was also directed by Mrs. Monger. The characters were as follows: Liese Braun, the daughter, Betty Helen Justesen; Magda Braun, her mother, Amy Lou van Laanen; Joseph Braun, her grandfather, Elwin Doty; Hulda, Magda's sister, Jennie Mae Gerity; Rudolf Huber, Joseph's friend, Kieth DeCourcy; The soldier, Andy Smith. Time, the present. Place, Berlin, Germany. We won second place in the contest, with Amy Lou van Laanen receiving honorable mention in the individual characterization. Quoting from The Dalles Chronicle: The cast of 'Jacob Comes Home' turned in a truly magnificent performance, depicting characters very difficult for youth to portray . Our field trip this year was a trip to Portland where we visited a meeting of the City Council, Oregonian, Court Session, KGW radio station and a stage play. We had one exchange assembly with The Dalles. Alumni Soeiuh ★ (Continued from page 7) Ruth Brown married Cecil Ashley shortly after her graduation in '35. They have made their home in Bakeoven.
