I 5 PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY VERNONIA HIGH SCHOOL VERNONIA, OREGON VOLUME 7 1 DEDICATION . For their unstinted courage and P valor at this time when they are so needed by our country, we, the students of Vernonia High School, dedicate this 1943 Memolog to all Vernonia boys now in the armed services of our United States. P f ' 1 k ★ FOREWORD To preserve indelibly those memories dearest to the students of Vernonia High School is the purpose of this seventh edition of the Memolog. The faces of friends, a few laughs, a bright moment in a day of learning — these are recorded here for your leisurely perusal. May you enjoy them to the fullest. We sincerely appreciate the cooperation and patronage of those business men whose advertisements appear in this book. Joy Willard, Editor Betty Olson, Advertising and Business Manager Miss Freda Beck, Adviser HIGHLIGHTSc the YEAR P Vernonia High School opened its doors to f. V 206 victory-minded students on Septemberf 14, 1942.This number of students was some 501! TriTT' 0_U iTnTTi less than in former years. Just as the en-L-' S-L rollment was changed, so was the year's schedule (MM) of work or play. However, not a person was dis- ' y • ' ]'%c J satisfied with the nev. arrangement. Everyone J MK seemed to realize that this was war and victory . _ was the only important issue at hand. Everyone wanted to get right down to business and get organized for their regular routine. This was started only three days after the beginning of school with the election of class officers on SeD-tember 17. fci The first National School Assembly was presented September 21. L The subject presented was a description and movies of the famous 200-inch telescope in California. If v'as a great event in V.H.S. on September 24 H° S when Douglas Culbertson came to school wearing his pajama top. It was a vivid shade of green and would V J- undoubtedly been thought a genuine shirt had Doug n0t forS°tten and let the truth slip out. Hi • PeoPle vfere absolutely astounded that Mary Beth Lish and Lewis Lane were still on the steady list V after a whole summer of separation. The grand discovery of the month was that there were four sets of brothers turning out for football this year. They wrere: Clyde anc Bird Lamping, Melvin and Bob Schwab, Lyle and Lester Galloway |j|? and Jack and Gerald Riley. The first day of October was marked by the appearance of the first issue of the Timberline. _y October 2 was a most eventful day. It had —-special fascination for the rooks of V. H. S. because that was the day they were made official A members of the student body of Vernonia High School'='G fe, - ) by a process of initiation. This was also the first %'[ ’ ' V football game of the 1942 season of the Loggers. This game, refereed by three policemen, was played on the home field against the St. Helens Lions. Because of the tied score, the game was most nerve racking. ■ ■ ★ w The first holiday of the year came on October 5 when the teachers went to St. Helens to attend institute. After such a strenuous and embarrassing initiation, the upper- 1 classmen decided to show the freshman girls what V. H. S. was really 3 like. Therefore they gave a reception for them over at the gym on the afternoon of October 7. On October 9 the Loggers took the roar out of the Clatskanie Tigers on their own field by winning the game 66-0. The annual celebration of the boys of the : student body was held the evening of October 12. A The fellows again ate their fill of mulligan and drank enough cider to please their taste. iPrifttB The Loggers'winning streak was still on whpnV A J they won a 25-0 victory over the Rainier Columbians on the home field, October 16. CD vm A i'rA ) 1 ('. « ' n JVV f October 21 was the big day in the McEntire M tC J 1 1 Sfamily for it v;as the birthday of Miss Patricia ■ ( A )y'Adele McEntire in the Oregon City hospital. or the purpose of procuring funds to buy Victory Kits for the boys in the service, the Girls' League sponsored a luncheon-dance October 22 with great success. The winning streak of the Loggers being over,they were defeated 24-7 by Scappoose on Scappoose's field October 23. r o October 23 and 24 saw the delegates of the , Timberline staff attending the press conference in Eugene. Joy Willard, editor, had an important place o V v on the program. The Timberline was awarded second place in its class among Oregon high school papers. October 26 and 27 saw Mr. McCrae attending the annual princi- «l pal's conference in Salem. A change in the Loggers was apparent October 30 when they skunked Hill Military on Hill's own field. October 31 the day of days for most mischievous young people '. However, V. H. S. students were complimented on their good behavior for lack of destruction. Math, students were deep in the study of circles andt beginning to get a bit dizzy because of the complexity of seemingly such a simple construction. v f ★ 9 9 Betty Hall and Larry Brady, two prominent juniors, announced the good news of their engagement this month. Bj Remembrance recalls a most embarrassing situation in which Mr. McCrae was endeavoring to explain necking , a football play, to Betty Olson during Soc. Ec. class. This year finds Eleanor Corll and Bernard Lamping still weathering the storm after about a year of going steady. The annual combined celebration of Armistice Day was held at the Washington Grade School on November 6. November 10 brought another National Assembly to Vernonia. This one featured Chuck Collins, blind entertainer who gave a program of poetry and piano numbers. Seniors watched the birdie once more ill |8| I -.Then they were photographed for their grad- jn 1 j l U -j? fy ' R uation pictures. The results are shown j!j f! J on several pages of this book. A Sadie Hawkins was hangin1 around again j i J this year on November 13. Her day was celebrated ’ 'ft M v with a costume ball. Prizes went to Douglas Ruhas Hairless Joe , and Kathleen Tomlin, who represented Daisy Mae . Mt’g (| Seniors were also in a big stew today be-® :’Sj ewSj 1 cause it was the date of the annual battle over W . caps and gowns or suits and formals. Inci dentally, the class of ’43 wore caps and gowns. jffip-’ The results of the camera were viewed No- vember 17 when the seniors received their proofs. Sheridan took quite a beating from the Loggers on Sheridan's 1 field November 18. The score was 32-0. The sophomores gave a Thanksgiving dance on y ®yi November 25 for the purpose of raising class funds. Everything went off perfectly and the a )V s K I! class achieved its purpose. , ' • Ni X-r;: v November 26 and 27 were very important dates ;V' to V. H. S. students, because they were included in the 4-day Thanksgiving vacation. 'r52 This month was the big one for Marianne Tomlin, senior girl, for it was then she married Raymond Reed. i w ★ w r — f 1 The Memolog Sales drive was short and sweet this year and netted some 157 orders. It was about November when Ted Bellingham had the girls of Ver-nonia in a continual whirl. Remember the peaceful morning when Beverly Bassett accidentally leaned on the bell in the middle of the period and Fred Lusby and Les Galloway had to herd students back to their classes? BC A eA a Of all the eternal triangles ever constructed, the t r Betty Olson-Calvin Sasse-Carol Delaney one seemed to be t o the most persistent. In fact, it had lasted all of y i three months. Cal TsTsse Poor Jimmy Johns Emma Davenport was really giv-ing him a bad time during this fitful month. 1 4 The All-Stars of the town were beaten by the Loggers on the home floor on December 10. However, it was only by a small margin because the score was just 37-26. Fred Lusby was elected president of the Boys' Club during its election December 11, Another event of importance on this day was the student body plays, Lily and Box of Monkeys. V December 15 seemed to be a day of days in V, H. S. for it was on this day that Carolyn Romtvedt was selected editor of the Timberline; the Loggers won over Banks on their floor by a score of 34-20; and the student body as a whole joined a national organization, the Victory Corps. The second-year typing class was very happy December 17 when they received their first box of candy from Mr. Greenman for typing letters to 0. A. men in the service. The junior class presented the annual Junior Prom under the effective name of White Christmas. December 18 On the streets down town was heard the music of sweet voices on December 23. This was all due to the efforts of the high school glee club, which did Christmas caroling this year. After the program was given and all good youngsters of V. H. S. received their bags of candy on December 23, they were excused to enjoy a vacation until January 4. What a day 1 Even during Christmas vacation, the Loggers were hard at work winning games. They won over Banks on their floor by a score of 31-12. Evelyn Hearing just couldn't wait for the vacation to catch up on sleep. She took a little nap in shorthand class. O €) The start of the sale of coke presented a big problem. Everywhere you turned, there were coke VS? f ir iil m bottles. Romance was in the air during the holidays. Betty Olson announced her engagement to Midd Crawford as did Evelyn Hearing to Wilfred Holce. As one watched ardent students trudge back to school, it was reason enough to believe that vacation time was over and that the time was now January 4, 1943. Right back in the old groove were the Loggers because they beat Hillsboro by a score of 31-27 on January 5. Loggers' luck waned on January 12, however, when Forest Grove trimmed them 38-32. How Vernonia students were blessing the snow January 22 '. Just because of it, they were on another vacation for a day. However,in spite of stormy weather, the Vernonia Loggers traveled to Rainier only to lose to the Columbians, 36-26, January 29 was the date of an activity dance given by the Girls' League for the sale of Defense Stamps and Bonds. It was also the day the Loggers were beaten by St. Helens, 37-17. Among other officers elected for the Girls' League early this month was Agnes Bateson who succeeded Rosaile Roediger as president. One would think juniors would have something better to do in English class than watch a snowplow. However, since there was lots of snow and a snow-plow is more or less an oddity to us, their behavior was excused. ENSE February was a dry month both literally and figuratively speaking. The sun was shining and everything seemed like spring. On the other hand, students had such bad cases of spring fever that very little activity was the result. Junior DeHart left for the array. The Loggers, never mindful of the lovely weather, were still going strong. In fact, they won over Scappoose 26-2J5 on February 2. The football team was honored at the annual banquet a little later than usual this year. This,, big occasion was the one on the books for the ev-%i iiDi lirM nr rlrv ening of February 8. V III I I I I H A very well attended dance was the item of the day on February 12. The juniors took the honors as sponsors. The Loggers were evidently a little rusty February 26. Scappoose trampled them 33-31 after Vernonia's having beaten them only a few weeks before that date. In February a new teacher was added to the faculty and a familiar one resigned. The new teacher was Miss Lucy Howe and the familiar friend was Mrs. Tracy, who resigned because of her health. February was a rough month on the boys of the student body. Everyone was throwing everyone else around. It all came about when the boys were taught some of the art of Judo, a method of self-defense. To keep the coke cold, a new machine was added in the study hall. The problem then was to keep it filled from one visit of the truck to the next. The Girls' League was right up to its neck in cans about this time. This was due to the tin can drive which they staged. am A barn dance, complete to hay and Virginia reels, ,C 4 £ was given in the gym, March 9, sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association. In the return game with Jewell on their the Loggers won, 25-18. own floor, March 10, March 12 presented a double header in entertainment. This was the date of the junior play, The Whole Town's Talking and the dance sponsored by the senior class. fj f L Kf Fj ®ur Principal's life was made brighter Jywhen he was announced the father of Barbara Jean McCrae on March 14. Melvin Schwab, senior, joined the navy and left March 19. The Loggers' luck failed them in the last game of the season with the town All-Stars on March 16. The All-Stars were the victors by a small margin. The third National Assembly of the year we presented March 21 when a program on Bobo magic the big romance of the month. They were appare very much in love and are sticking together qui Gloria Lamping and Nelson Byrd announced their engagement when Nelson was home on leave from the navy. Students were most pleased when Mr. McCrae dispensed cokes on the house to celebrate the birth of his daughter. The Baby Loggers had a rather bad season. The grade school proved superior to them on all three occasions that the two teams met. Tests to determine young men's ability to be admitted into the navy college training program (V-12) were given by Mr. McCrae to twelve high school boys on April 2. i , Vfl� ? 4 Spring must really be here. Talk and forming of teams started plans rolling for the '43 soft-ball season. April 6 was the day for which most of the seniors had been waiting, for that was the day o£ the arrival of their announcements of graduation April 7 was a big day for Mary Katherine Norris, sne was elected May Queen by the boys of the student body, and she participated in the thrilling event of being measured for a cap and gown with the other members of the senior class. was given. Jonnibel Hatfield and Lester Galloway were Lyle Galloway, seemingly a little bored by it all, slept away his English study period for want of something better to do. L Mr. bore the brunt of no small 3 number of jokes during his lit. teaching ca- reer, which was necessitated by Mrs. Hearing’s illness. A Girls' League meeting on April 14 disclosed Miss Aileen Eyer, representative of the Oregon Council of War Nurses Association, who gave an explanatory and introductory speech to the girls on nursing as a career and as war work. The seniors and juniors reversed the order of one previous Friday on April 16. This time the seniors gave their play, Tiger House , a mystery comedy, and the juniors sponsored the dance following the play. ? 3 The track team attended its first competitive meet on this day also. However, it seems the boys weren't quite ready for the big wins yet. On April 19 and 20, there was at least one boy in V. H. S. who was a bit nervous. This was Robert Kent who was in Seattle taking examinations for the Naval Air Corps. Incidentally, Robert passed. On April 22, that same track team got another chance at the competition on the Scappoose field. They were much improved at this time, but still a bit over-powered. Mr. Raleigh Y heeler, representative of the State Police Force, was the speaker before the seniors on April 23. Mr. TVheeler spoke on crime and its problems, which subject the seniors had been studying. The sophomores again lead the honor roll. The seniors managed to beat them just one time this year. CRIME „ ... DOES ir-NOT ’ PAY Mr, McEntire is again making excuses for not catching any fish. Nov: he blames it on the fishing tackle made in Japan. The students of V. H. S. were given the opportunity to take the tuberculin test on April 26. For the third time this year, the typing I classes typed letters for the 0. A. to ser- hlillPfcl ice men and for the third time were rewarded —V-'M vJ vice men and for the third time were rewarded with candy. State Patrolman Wheeler also came across with a large box of candy for the typists who made two copies of a book of lav: forms. April 27 found the Memolog with five extra orders for the These were to be filled if there were enough books uncalled for book. Because of the inconvenience of the date w- - 'v and the nearness of the ending of the school B term, the May Day ceremony was presented Ap- h Yy Bj ril 30. The program was a joint effort of ' the grade school and the high school based on a Spanish theme, Fiesta Americana. Two May =v A poles were featured. The ceremony marked the crovming of Queen Mary Katherine I. j,'j { Y y.‘ V yyh pv At the same time as the May Day exercises, two members of Ver-nonia's track team,Lewis Lane in the high jump and Fred Busch throwing the javelin, were showing their prowess in the district track meet at Beaverton. The last big frolic of the year was the Victory Ball presented the evening of April 30. The guests of honor v ere Queen Mary Katherine I and her court. Glenn Davis's orchestra furnished the music. H| Lyle Galloway had everyone very worried about this time as to P-J whether he really liked a girl from Clatskanie, whether he and Betty ip Turner ..would make up, or whether he and Jerry Keller would get along. af;; Another triangle '. Benny Hall, Robert Roeser, X_ n and Marjorie Lolley were the people in question yv this time. C £1 May was a month of genuine industry in V. S. There just seemed to be too much to do, wtv'1 and not enough time in which to do it. As all final activities of the school year and v.rork for the last six weeks were all crowded into four short weeks, the scurry was nerve-wracking- The Memolog, Vernonia High School's year- ,1 _,V? book, was distributed early this month. The (Vll -• motif of the book was Victory. This motif was ( rfl Hf complete to a red-white-and-blue cover. V'fWvVX On May 4, the Air Scouts, a brother organization to the Boy Scouts of America under the direction of Mr. McEntire, helf a court of honor in which the members were honored with acknowledgements of their achievements during the year. One fine day in May, forty-tv:o stu- r—j ■—i | 1 dents were absent. Guess what ’. They were IP'JO IQ' all seniors.

This occasion was carried out with much dignity and satisfaction under the direction of the Reverend TV. 0. Livingstone. Even though we are now engulfed in a complex rationing system the ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary took upon themselves the task of preparing the senior banquet, as usual. I'll never make it'. Y hy didn't I study? Such were the lamentations of various individuals on May 13 and 14. The reason—final examinations had everyone in a whirl. As the evening of May 14 rolled around, weary students trudged homeward for the last time this year, and seniors for the last time in any year. x fV At 8:00 the evening of May 14, the seniors marched into the TYashington Grade School auditorium to receive the justification of four years' hard labor. A stirring speech was given by Dr. U. G. Bubach, Dean of Men at Oregon State College. S f C � v . Honored for outstanding scholastic achievement were Joy 7,11-lard, valedictorian, with Arthur Tousley and Robert Kent sharing honors as salutatorians. INTERVIEW BOOKWORMS SILENCE t MEMOLOG at WORK !

THE JUNIORS When the school bells rang on September 14, 1942, there were only twenty-eight members in the junior class compared to the sixty-one that had entered in 1940. The slight decrease between the freshman and sophomore years widened and became more noticeable during the sophomore and junior years. The class officers for the year were chosen and Lyle Galloway became the new president with Nina MacDonald as vice-president; Irene Driscoll, secretary; and Mary Hall as treasurer. Their advisers were Miss Wil-lers, Mr. Robbins, and Mr. Ely. As stated in the 1942 Memolog, The class as a whole did not make the honor roll as consistantly as they had the year before ; this is still a true statement. The social distinction of the class as freshmen and sophomores was not outstanding but this year it has improved considerably. Being original in ideas, the juniors decided to have their Prom in December instead of the usual time in April. The theme was White Christmas and it was carried out by having a huge silver star in the middle with red and white streamers leading from it. Other decorations carried out the theme. Due to circumstances beyond its control, the liabilities of the class exceeded its assets and, to say the least, the class was financially embarrassed. But after the class play had been given, the class was once again in good standing with the world and had re-established its self-respect. The play, The Whole Town's Talking , is a three-act farce which was given March 12, and it was one of the most successful plays ever given here. The cast, under the direction of Miss Willers, was as follows: Henry Simmons (A manufacturer)...............Marvin Turner Hattie Simmons (His wife)........................Mary Hall Ethel (Their daughter)......................Beverly Bassett Chester Binney (Simmon's partner)................Fred Bush Letty Lythe (Movie star)................Bettie Lou Gouge Donald Swift (Movie director).................Larry Brady Roger Shields (A young Chicago blood) ....

Irene Driscoll Annie (Maid)............................Carolyn Romtvedt •K- -j:- Here is a thought from the Junior Class As we finish a trying school year; Not much of a thought, but we hope it will pass— In the future such memories are dear. At last we find we're out of debt'. We've had from others many a smirk We don't know just how we did it yet, But it took a lot of work. • We hope you've enjoyed our play and our dance; Our Prom —we won't mention, although We did our best, but contracted a debt, (It seems no one cared to go.) Well, that is all past, and at long last We'll look back and remember with smiles, The things we've achieved in our Junior class year For we've won out in all of our trials.

Many of the students who dropped out last year were replaced by students from other schools. When election of class officers was in order, Dan Rollins was elected president; James Johns, vice-president; Betty Turner, secretary; and Marietta Hodgson, treasurer. About three weeks after school started, the freshmen were properly initiated. The costumes were about the same as the previous year but the wearers were very much different. A Thanksgiving dance was given by the sophomores in order to earn funds for the class page in the Memolog. This dance was very successful and the treasury benefited a good deal. Because of this, the sophomores were the first ones to pay their obligation to the Memolog. So far in the school year, the sophomores have led the honor roll each time but one. Although the total number on the honor roll did not increase materially, the number of sophomores did. Many of this class turned out for sports of all kinds. Some made the second teams and played as substitutes for the first team. Quite a few received letters at mid-term. The sophomores also participated in victory work for the school. They helped sell stamps, collected scrap and tin cans, and also helped in rationing and the town defense measures. The casts of the student body plays were composed mainly of sophomores. Also due to the man shortage in the junior class, several sophomores were in that play. Now, with May 14 just around the corner, the sophomores look forward to becoming juniors next term after surviving a well-earned vacation. t =- - - 1 THE FRESHMEN Fifty-four students enrolled as freshmen in September of 1942. This was not very many but it was the second largest class in school. As you see, war takes its toll. Class officers were chosen early in the year. Jack Riley was elected president; Billy Olinger, vice-president; Stella Bellingham, secretary; and Patty Romtvedt, treasurer. fr-J Freshman initiates got off comparatively easy this ’ 1 year as some of the sophomores were too ambitious in their plans and therefore didn't get to enforce any of their big ideas. However, girls had to wear pants inside out and backwards and boys had to wear dresses. But the class as a whole thought they had had enough at the end of their initiation. The class of '46 didn't do much that was spectacu- it didn't hit the honor roll very often, raised money by contributions from class members, etc. - but it was not below normal. After a year of adjustment, perhaps it will branch out and go places. Chosen as its advisers were Mr. McEntire and Mrs H —| ★ m l 1 1 j From left to right, front row: Billy Olinger, Bobby Condit, Donald Atkinson, Billie Marshall, Wendell Riggins, Melvin Snooks, Jimmy Frazee, Jeremy Taylor, Walter Coady.

(L Box of l Ionk ys THE STUDENT BODY The student body, composed of all the students in Vernonia High, began the year with the sale of membership tickets which amounted to almost 100$. The student body indirectly carries on all the activities of the school. The student council consists of the student body officers, Girls' League, Boys' Club and all the class presidents. It decides the smaller more detailed business before it is put before the student body. The most important and profitable activity of the year was the three ene-act plays presented December 11. The plays, directed by Miss Willers, consisted chiefly of freshman and sophomore talent. At the Christmas program, treats provided by the penny drill were presented to everyone by Santa Claus. The football and air-place construction awards were presented. The last big student body affair of the year was the May Day program. The theme of the program was Fiesta Americano which contrasted the two Americas. The student body also sponsored the sale of candy the early part of the year and Coca Cola later because of the candy shortage. THE GIRLS LEAGUE The purpose of the Girls' League organization is one of service to the school and community. This year has afforded an opportunity to be of service in many ways and that ideal will also guide our efforts in the year to come. An incentive toward Victory has been the inspiration of most of our activities, and the services in furtherance of that goal were well carried out in many different ways. Among these activities was the stamp selling campaign and its periodic continuance throughout the spring semester, including a program and dance requiring stamp admission. Victory Kits for the s oldiers were financed and packed from the proceeds of a luncheon-dance sponsored by the girls. Later, a correspondence campaign was inaugurated by which the girls wrote letters to many of the service men from this vicinity. A scrap drive was also promoted and successfully completed involving the collection of tin cans from homes throughout the entire school district. At the close of the first semester,new officers were installed. Agnes Bateson replaced Rosaile Driscoll Roediger as president; Lesta Christensen, Beverly Bassett as vice president; Delilah Condit, Lorraine Mahar as secretary; Mary Beth Lish, Irene Driscoll as tr wsur-er; Vona Weidman and Marjory Lolley replaced Helen Fowler and Evelyn Hearing as song leaders. Other events in the Girls’ League calendar,curtailed in part by the shorter school year, were the colorful Sadie Hawkins dance and the Victory Ball in honor of Queen Mary Katherine I on May Day. THE TIMBERLINE ia J-t ’j A The Timberline appeared bi-weekly Ps : K' i ‘ T throughout the school year, presenting 3 y news and features to the high school 1 V =� ; students and other interested people. g jy'' t ' Carolyn Romtvedt and Joy Willard 1 -2 s-' v y”' were editors for this year. Joy started Rt out the year but was forced to resign be-f' -s cause of ill health. Carolyn took over Nv early in December. Is There were other difficulties in keeping the staff intact. Mary Lee Dubendorf started as production manager but left school to join her husband who is in the army. Joyce Knight took Mary Lee's place but the position was again vacant for several issues when Joyce went on a trip to California. Roberta Sword formerly did the drawings for the advertisements but Eileen Enos and Patty Romtvedt took her place. The other members of the staff continued through the year and were as follows: Betty Olson, business manager; cartoonists, Dean Lionberger and Calvin Sasse; sports, Douglas Culbertson; adviser. Miss Freda Beck; reporters, !■ Mary Kovach, Eileen Enos, Ellen McDonald, Phyllis Bonsilaw, Billie 1 Reynolds, Patty Romtvedt, Betty Olson, and Ruth Jones. 1 In spite of all the staff changes, the paper came out regularly and came up to the standard of former years. It was again rated as second best weekly or bi-vreekly mimeographed paper at the Oregon High School Press Conference held at Eugene, October 23-24. Joy Willard, Betty Olson, and Miss Beck represented the Timber-line at the state press conference. Because of her experience, Joy was asked to give a talk on the problems of a mimeographed paper. The Vernonia delegates had the pleasure of taking their competitors, the Carlton representatives, with them to the conference. THE BOYS'CLUB The Boys' Club is an organization composed of all the boys enrolled in Vernonia High School. Tt is the brother organization of 1 the Girls' League and their meetings are held separately but at the P3 same time. ca On October 12, the boys enjoyed a mulligan feed following foot-ball practice. The mulligan was provided by the boys and stirred up by Mr. McEntire and his committee. The Logger football squad was feted by the boys at a banquet held at the Masonic Temple on February 9. This nev project for the boys club was enjoyed by approximately fifty boys and their dads. Entertainment was furnished by motion pictures of football highlights borrowed from O.S.C. and Willamette. The boys also sponsored intramural noon-hour leagues in both basketball and baseball. A six-team league was organized in basketball and a class tournament was played in baseball. Officers serving the boys this year were Fred Lusby, president; Bernard Lamping, vice-president; Harold Fowler, secretary; Keith Walker, treasurer; and Ralph Bergerson, sergeant-at-arms. ir 1 CZr't Gtub GIRLS'ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association, with Mrs. Tracy as its adviser for the first semester, sponsored a chili feed in honor of the boys r J who earned letters in football.

After this project was completed, Miss DeBolt discussed various problems and techniques of art work. In between their regular art periods, Tuesday and Thursday, the group helped with scenery background for various plays and dances. The activities of the Pre-Flight Club during this school year were confined to the various fields of aeronautics—both technical and general. Problems dealing with the atmosphere, aerial photography, different types of instruments, the possibilities of post-war aviation, and the use of the slide-rule were discussed.

With a turnout of about twenty four boys, most of whom were inexperienced, Coach Robbins and assistant Coach Mills took charge and taught the boys a different type of ball than they had used in the past. In the first encounter and also the f irst scrimmage of the season, the Loggers met a strong, well-balanced St. Helens Lion team on the local gridiron. The Loggers scored early in the game and then, through a determined defense, fought the Lions to a final score of 6-6. With their morale high from their showing in their first game, the boys then journeyed to Clatskanie the next Friday where they defeated a light, inexperienced team 66-0. In their next appearance, the Loggers met the Rainier Columbians in a game where everything Vernonia tried seemed to function and they defeated a stubborn Rainier team 25-0. After three successful starts,the Loggers traveled to Scappoose where they lost their first league game in three seasons. After some very disheartening breaks early in the game which put them in a hole, the boys fought a strong veteran team of Scappoose Indians to a final score of 24-7. A badly battered Logger team then traveled to Portland where they met and defeated Hill Military Academy 6-0. In the final game of the season, the Loggers' hard blocking and tackling and smooth team play literally and figuratively swamped Sheridan, one of the strwig teams of the Polk-Yamhill league, on their own under-wrater field 33-0. Although next year's team will be minus the services of nine of this year's squad, we have a nucleus for a good team. BASKETBALL When basketball season rolled around, Coaches Robbins and Mills were again faced with a problem, that of building a team from a group of inexperienced boys. The only returning regular from the 1941 team was Fred Lusby. In the pre-season games, the Loggers won from the Vernonia All Stars , two from Banks, two from Hillsboro, and lost two to Forest Grove. The boys met the Rainier Columbians in the first league game on the Rainier floor and were defeated. In their next encounter, they were also defeated by a veteran St. Helens team on the Lions' court. The next Tuesday the Loggers opened the league season at home by defeating Scappoose by a close margin when Lyle Galloway fired in two long ones in the last 30 seconds. In the next two games, Vernonia met the Clatskanie Tigers twice, winning one and losing one. To open the second half of the schedule, the Loggers met the Rainier team again on the local court and lost a very close game. Then the following week they were defeated in two very close, hard-fought games by St. Helens and Scappoose. The schedule being completed and the boys still looking for more basketball, a trip was arranged to take the boys to Salem where they played the Willamette Freshmen in a preliminary game to the Willamette—Linfield game. On the following afternoon and evening, the boys and their coaches drove to Eugene where they saw the Oregon-Oregon State game. After this trip, the seniors turned in their suits and the boys who will be on hand for next year, met and defeated a smaller Jewell High School team twice. With the loss of only three boys, Fred Lusby, Bob Kent, and Les Galloway, from the squad, we can’look forward to a promising year for next year.
