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

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

Each Hunter Brings Home

Chas. Vaughn nnd Pert Stone spent
a few days deer hunting out In the

they report that It Is no easy Job pack
