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.

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

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.
