Final Edition
This is the final issue of the LOG for the regular school
year and the present staff departs for various locations.
Some will graduate, some will be back next year via sum­
mer jobs, and others like Editor Jim Carroll will work on
the summer issues of the LOG. Along with their school
work, of course.
However, the staff looks back on a year of work well
done. To the students and faculty who didn't get their story
in the paper or on the right page we can only say "sorry."
The editor thanks those he has worked with for being
a hard-working, capable, and friendly crew. The staff could • not have been a better one.
Also, in some way we would like to give a wbrd of
praise to those who deserve such for their efforts around
the college. Most of all, we are thinking .of the persons who
do their work without claiming applause . They are the ones
who make this college what it is.-· D. A. S.

Worried Seniors
Leave to Grapple
Cold, Cruel World
By Art Atkisson J
With the rapidly approaching 1
commencement exercises, nearly
two hundred genii .(oops, I mean
geniuses) are preparing to leave
our ivied walls for the cold cruel
world. Evidently some of them
are a little worried about getting
jobs. Warren Evans has been
seen wandering around the cam­
pus with a gaunt look on his face
and crying, "Wha' hoppen? No­
body geeve me a job, and I'm
gettin' mighty hongry." When I
asked him if there was anything
I could do he said simply,· "Put
some money in the pot, boy!"
However with the wisdom of
one whose p r e d i c t i on s have
proved 99 p~r cent inaccurate,
I see a rosy future for the class
of '49. Ben Padrow will undoubt ­
edly push himself onward and
upward until he achieves his life­
long ambition by becoming the
Pope of Rome. If a man's past is
any indication of his future, Har­
old Wood will become president
oi thj! N. A. M., and Stan Price
will spend the next ten years
completing the requirements for

Bearcats .. IJ:! the NIAB tourney the Pioneers romped · over the
Salemites in what could be termed the rubber game of the series as
LC won the first contest early in the year.
Ne:id in !he athletic picture came skiing, where the ski learn
from Lewis and Clark comp~tely led the field. Coached by Willie
Helming ~d directed by Mrs. Jean Horner, !he locals were always
in the lop bracket of every competitive meet. In -the c'onference
finals LC'c five-man !earn took all five top positions.
In other minor team sports this college also stood out. In the
golf finals LC finished second behind Willainette, while the tennis
players as a team ranked at the top in competition · with other
Northwest colleges.
. Next bn !he agenda came baseball and with i! a slump in
athletic prowess. Coach Warren Smith's crew. was always out in
the diamond ttying, bu! !hey could not seem to brin~ !heir pitch-
ing and hiUing, together in one conies!. .
Last but not least came track season and with it came the
first undisputed championship as the Fixmen dominated every
meet they ran in except the one against Oregon State. In the con­
ference meet they were the favorites and more than justified the
rating give~ them as they put their competition far behind.
Recognition comes to !he coaches for their fine jobs 1 and the
athletes are also to be praised for !heir fine efforts which made
such a successful year possible. To all !hose participating in ath­
letics we wish to add our humble congratulations 'for a job splen­
