DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? HEPPNER HI LIFE Edited By JUNIOR ENGLISH CLASS We have a very large enrollment In high school this year, the number being one hundred and nine students, includ ing the three special students who are taking poBt graduate courses. "Of the clauses the Freshman class is the larg est, as usual, the number being forty three. The Sophomores have twenty seven and the Junior class nineteen students. The Seniors have seventeen enrolled. A new row of desks has been installed In the study hall and we are afraid more will have to be brought In, tho it is getting to be a question of space In which to put them rather than of seats. Quite a number of students are coming In late and since all work must be made up by the end of the flrst six weeks it Is going to mean some very hard study, but we are quite sure that most of them will succeed. Several new subjects are being of fered: Physics, Advanced Algebra and Geometry, and, In accordance with the state law, one ygnvt Civics instead Q,f the usual half-year, Is being offered the Juniors, One subject that has been rather overlooked, is tho Teachers' Training. This course has been given for two years and is proving quite suc cessful. Quite a lot of laboratory equipment and several specimens have been added for the use of the science classes since last year. NOTICE!!! Wanted by the Junior girls: More hoys. These are very rare and the few there may get lonesome. The Home Eccnomics department is especially popular this year. Pupils have even had to be turned away from the first year sewing class. Because of the great number of pupils in this class it has had to he divided. This is a frreat improvement over last year, for then the pupils had to be forced to take a subject In that department Because of the lack of enough teach ers, the school this year is not up to all the state requirements. Every person in high school should take physical ed ucation, but such a thing at this time is impossible. At the beginning of the year there was some doubt as to whether we would be able to have a foot ball team or not, as so many of the old players are not in school this year However, at this time a team has been formed that promises to be very good and practice Apples! I curry the- tinest eating apples in town. Extra fancy Jonathans, Spitzenbergs, Winter Ba nanas, Rome Beautys and Gravensteins, and Cook ing Apples.

Heppner High School is going to do all it can toward keeping the good record the boys made last year. To do this, the support of the town people is necessary. "The family get-together" which was given Friday evening created quite a sensation among the students, iiu. Freshmen especially. This party was given in honor of the Freshmen. The studeny were divided into families and were dressed according to the family means and ideas. They went sight-seeing to Home. Coney Island, New York, London, Paris and Portland. After reaching Portland each family "pulled off" a stunt When all the stunts had been (riven refreshments were served, after which the party broke up. Every one declared It was the best party the school had given. Student Body Election. The students of Heppner High School met September 3rd to elect studentbody officers. Those elected were, Don Case, president; Allen Case, vice-president; Velma Case, secretary; Phillip Mahoney, treasurer; Charles Hirl, sergeant-at arms, and Kyle Cox and Anita Turner, yell leaders. It was also decided at this meeting to have an annual this year In spite of the fact that we went In debt last year, and the officers elected for the staff; Keith Lnpan, business mana ger and advertising manager; Margaret Woodson, editor-in-chief, who has ap pointed the other members of the staff: joke editor, Allene Sprouls: society ed itor, Florence Cason; literary editor, Violet Merritt; snap editor, Mercedeth .Tames; associate editor, Elizabeth Hus ton; sport editor, Phillip Mahoney and musical editor.
