The urogram concluded with a
laughable farce entitled "No Girls
Admitted," Riven bv some of the

and which left every body in a jolly
good hnmor for the next proceeding,
the selling of the baskets. Ml. Elmer
Lewis acting as salesman in a credit
able manner.
A dance in Lexington, that night
kept nwav soma who were expected to
attend, so the bidding was confined to
married men, bachelors and boys.
However, the basKeta, many of which
were decided works of ar, Bold fairly
well, bringing in a substantial sum
which is to be used for needed im
provements in the school house.
On Fridav evening, December 12th,
at the school house in district No. 38,
four miles below Heppner, happened
one of those occasions that will always
remain a plossant memory to those
fortunate enough to be a guest. A
literary entertainment given by the
school, was fine and gave evidence of
deep study, careful designing, and
hard work and application on part of
both pnpils and teacher.
Declamations and dialogues, inter
spersed with music, both instrumental
anl vocal, served to amuse and enter
tain so that the program was really
much longer than it appeared to be.
Lack of time and space prevents
special mention of individual numbers,
but all were worthy of commendation,
and some showed decidsd histrionic
abilitv. ' '
After the baskets were disposed of
the larger part of the ooranany re
paired to the residence of Chris Brown,
whioh had been kindly thrown open
for the occasion, and wliare hot coffee
and chocolate bad been prepared, and
where the contents of the baskets
were also disposed of. with social
chat and interchange of views, after
which all letf for their homes, filled
with good huaior and other substant
ia Is. . '
This was at the school taught by
Miss Opal Brians of Heppner, who ia
entitled to credit for the labor and
thought expended in making the enter
tainment a success.
All went away feeling well pleased
and hoping that these social occasions
may become more frequent.
Do you contemplate having any
work done in the line of building?
