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.

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.
