PAGE SIX HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THUR SPAY, MA 6, 1926. Schools Combine In Holding Fine Picnic On Sunday last the Hail Ridge and Eight Mile Center school districts celebrated the closing of the school year by a combined picnic on Rock creek above Hardman, on a beautiful spot of flat meadow land backed by tall trees. Some of the earlier ar rivals found a little difficulty in lo cating the selected spot, and Supt. H. M. Walker, assisted by Mrs. George Eurnside, scoured the vicinity, finally locating the missing ones parked un der a tree waiting for the picnic to arrive and guided them into the right path. The main event of the morning was a baseball game in which the New York Giants, headed by Ray Drake, put it all over the White Sox, led by Glenn Young, the score being 18 to 8. The only setback during the game was when acting-catcher. Burton Burnside, caught a foul square on the end of his nose and had to lay off for repairs. A bountiful picnic dinner followed the game. The exhausted players left few remnants for the belated visitors from Idea and Gooseberry who, starting at 9 a. m. and, after having cured five blowouts on the way, finally reached the grounds at 1:30 p. m. After dinner Martin Lovgren and Fred Akers easily won the three- legged race from their opponents and gratefully received their well-won re ward an all-day sucker each. In the fat man's race Oscar Keithley held Kay Drake down to a tie but did not get to enjoy his prize as a little woman about half his size appropriat ed it and caused it to disappear in the winkling of an eye while he made desperate efforts to regain it. Teachers from Hail Ridge, Idea, Rood Canyon and Eight Mile each made a gallant effort to outdo the others but had to run the race twice owing to one of the contestants hav ing been tripped in the start. The second trial ended in a tie between Rood Canyon and Eight Mile Center. A hard fought battle between two teams of horseshoe players resulted in Hail Ridge, represented by Ray Drake and Glenn Young, giving the Jtightmilers, Oscar Keithley and Law rence Redding, the worst beating of their lives. The champion lady horseshoe player of Hardman, Mary McDaniel and Hattie Bleakman, dropped in on the picnic long enough to clean up a game. Mrs. Geo. Burn side and Mrs. Ray Drake were the losers. The children filled the day with games, cliff climbing, and tree riding, to say nothing of falling into the water. On the homeward way several cars stopped at the ice caves and unsuc cessfully tried to solve its mysteries. Moral If you want to have the time of your lives, stage a picnic at Rock Creek.
