PARIS EXPECTS
SOVIET To WIN
U.S.PACT

PARIS, Oct. IS 0N.SO.-Diplo
matte circles in Paris foresee early
recognition Of the Soviet Republic
by the United States.
II is believed likely, In the opin.
ion Of several impartial political
observers, that Paris, rather than
London, is to become the channel
for propaganda originating in
Russia to pave the way for "popu-
lar understanding and apprecia-
tion' of such a move by the Amer
tcan Government.
Hitherto the Soviet Republic has
centered its propaganda in Lon
don. disseminating there such in
formation as it desired to place
In the hands Of Americans, who
could present it 20 the American
public.
But the recent strained situa-
ton between England and Russia
rs a consequence Of the arrest
and sentencing Of several British
engineers in Russia has made it
difficult for the SovietS to reach
public opinion through London
channels.
The Soviet Embassy in Paris
heretofore has given little atten.
tion to propaganda in favor Of
recognition by the American Gov
ernment.
OF recent date, however, it has
been more active in it's efforts to
bring about a more reasonable
understanding" as a Soviet
speaker termed it at a luncheon
given in Paris where American
newspaper correspondents were in
vited to meet the higher officials
Of the Soviet Embassy. The host
was Hendrix Willem van Loon,
historian and author Of numerous
books on ancient and modern
mankind.

Senior History
BY Louise shinn

In the fall of 1929 a bunch of 16
unruly freshmen, headed by Roscoe
Ray, upset the routine of the entire
school. AS usual, a livelier bunch would
be hard to find. This lively bunch
consisted of Marg Penn, Helen Wheeler,
Dodys Holecek and Hemker, Walt
Mykol, Lenoir McMurry, James Wade,
Mildred Chase, Hilda Welshenbaugh,
Iva Dooley, Chuck Lee, Lewis Angle,
Louise Shinn, Tex Arnold, Jimmie Nc
Cotter and Bill shelledy.
AS Sophomores, Helen, Lenoir and
Tex left us to try their luck at Han
ford Jimmie McCotter left for work,
and Maxine scovel and Marguerite
Oliver joined the ranks. We were
greatly honored by having one Of our
members, Bill Shelledy, elected Pres
ident of the Student Body for our
Junior year.
In 1881, our Junior class was greatly
enlivened by Bob Brickman and close
ly followed by Capitola Griffith but

time. This year we had two high hon
ors for the class, as Bob Brickman
had his name engraved on the Ath-

Student Body President.
AS Seniors we weren't quite SO
happy for while, as Bob Brickman
left us at mid-term. When we found
we had three new members, Edna,
Bill Hall and Charles, our spirits were
somewhat reyived-and relieved, for
we didn't want to get below twelve
We feel quite satisfied now as we
have fourteen equalling the largest
class ever graduated from this school,

we entered and seem to feel that we
lack the certain dignity which all Sc

A GOOD TIME FOR ACTION

It has long been dream of good roads advo-
Gates Of the state to have road from the Can
adian border to the Oregon line along the length
of the Okanogan and Columbia rivers
Without any great effort, large part of this
dream has been realized. There is fine highway
from the Canadian border to Vantage Bridge, and
from White Bluffs to the Coast, and stretches of
this road are constantly being improved
The one piece of road which still needs to be
started is the stretch from White Bluffs to Van
tage Bridge the west side of the Columbia.
This piece of road would give the state continu-
Gus highway from the northern end to the south
ern end of the state, and would provide the citi-
zens of the Wenatchee valley and Of the Priest
Rapids valley an easier means Of communication
Such a road would give the growers Of this valley
better market for their earlier fruits and vege-
tables thus bringing more money into the COM
munity; and would, in all probability, bring more
settlers to this valley.
Such completed highway has been strongly
recommended by the o. s. War Department. If
the residents of this valley and Wenatchee would
stress the need for immediate action construction
would probably soon be undertaken.
