Reta Crawford Letha Hiatt , Ellis Thomson Baseball Team Ends Season. Heppner met Lexington Friday on the home field for the last game of the season. The team had suffered three bad defeats this season; one at the hands of Lexington, but did that daunt our team? I should say not. They went into the game as if they had won all previous ones and this one might decide the championship. Two runs were scored in the first inn ing by Heppner and one in the third. The score there remained until the fifth when Lexington scored one. In the eighth Lexington started a rally that netted two runs and evened the score. For a while it looked as if more than the regular nine innings might be necessary in order to finish the game, but the visitors scored twice in the ninth, giving them a lead of two. Even then Heppner refused to be discouraged, and amid the cheers of the goodly crowd in attend once, ran in another score, but were unable to add on the necessary runs to win, so Lexington now has a 6-4 victory to her credit when she meets lone in the championship game on the Heppner field Friday, the sixth. The baseball squad, made up large ly of inexperienced players, is justly proud of this season's record. From a band of green players who scarcely knew how to swing a bat, they have developed into a formidable aggrega tion. Next season offers a most prom ising outlook as none of the squad who played last Friday are graduat ing this year, and some of them have three more seasons ahead. A number who have not played this season' will be hot contenders for positions next year. Those playing Friday were: Mar vin Gammell, pitcher; Howard Evans, catcher; Gerald Slocum, first; Onez Parker, second; Nolan Turner, third; Bob Turner, shot; "Rod" Thomson, left field; Clarence Hayes, center; Jim Monahan, right field. Lexington battery was: Charles Wilcox, pitcher, and "Pat" Nolan, catcher. The Biology Class Picnic. By Margaret Notson. On the morning of the last day of April the Biology class presented themselves at the abode of the hi sen )01 teacners, preparatory to en joying a day in the mountains. The hour of gathering was aet at seven, but, as usual, it was later than that when the class was aboard Benge's truck, off for their aforesaid destin ation. We may say they were prop erly chaperoned, for Misses Wright and Fishel accompanied them as well as their teacher, Miss Pearson. They made their camp two or three miles above the Old Mill on Willow creek for the best part of the picnic, the eats. After partaking of delightful refreshments, they wandered on up into the mountains, stopping at the coal mines to study the surroundings and would have gone farther had they r.ot run into snow. About three o'clock in the afternoon the town was disturbed by the return of these hi larious picnickers. o Bible Exams. Mr. Johnson has informed the stu dents that the Bible exams have ar lived from the State Department of Education, and will remain in the Eealed envelope until Friday morning, May 6, when they will be opened and given to the students desiring to take this examination. The Old Testa ment examination will be given in the morning and the New Testament in the afternoon. Marvin Gammell tells this one: Bridegroom: "Are you sure it was a marriage license you gave me last month?" Clerk: "Certainly. Why?" "Because I've led a dog's life ever since." Typing Awards. This week brought to light a new form of awards received by high school students. Miss Pearson pre sented several awards to her typing students, preceded by a short talk, in which she set forth the idea of there being awards and letters given to the athletes, but that they were not the only ones deserving this honorable mention. Her typing class took the April speed tests that are sent out by the different typewriter companies. If the students make high enough rate of words a minute, they receive awards from the various companies. The Underwood Typewriter com pany awarded to Orrin Bisbee, a good looking gold pin, with the inscription Expert Typist engraved on it. Or rin s record on the Underwood was 62 net words a minute. Besides his gold pin. Orrin received his typing certificate. This is Orrin's second year of typing. The Remington company sent typ ing certihcates to Marvin tiammell and Margaret Smith, first year typists, for making above 30 words a minute on the Remington machine. The L. C. Smith company issued four certificates and one bronze med- 1. The certificates were won by Ethel Hughes, Joy Erwin, Kenneth Oviatt and Margaret Bowker. Mar garet also won the bronze medal for typing over 40 words a minute. These tests were written on the L. C. Smith typewriters. All these awards and degrees of honor were conferred upon the re spective students before the assem bly Friday afternoon by Miss Pear son. Due to it being an "off day" when the tests were given, in which the r,bove students won the awards, Mary Ritchie, Marjorie Clark, Rosella Doherty, John Conder and others did not make their usual good showing, but they are endeavoring to be eligi ble to certificates and medals before school is out. Within the last two weeks, the typing class has shown a marked im provement. Orrin Bisbee, second year student, made 77 words a minute. Marjorie Clark, first year, made 66 words, and John Conder, also first year, made 63 net words a minute, Junior Class News. What makes the junior class act so mysteriously lately? They have been having frequent class meetings, and if one keeps his ears open, he can hear a hushed whisper to the ef fect "Gee, I hope it doesn't rain Wednesday." Or maybe something like this, after an assignment in Eng lish, has been made, "That's all right for me, it won't bother me any next Wednesday." It makes one so inquisitive that it is all one can do to keep from asking, outright, what will happen Wednes day. Why has the president of the class been passing around a certain paper and having all the juniors sign it? It Is almost an abomination to have these juniors act this way. We are about to wonder if they are in their right minds. But then, we remember when we were juniors and the queer things we pulled off, so let the juniors have their fun in their way, for next year the fun age will be past and a "real" problem will face them, we can assure of that. Office Newa. Mr. Burgess reports that a portion of the high school annual, The He hisch, will be off the press and ready for distribution this week end. The sales manager is planning a booth at the Hi Jinks Saturday evening, and the annuals will be on sale there. A seeming quietness prevailed in the high school last week end. Upon inquiry after the cause of such soli tude it was found that Mr. Burgess had departed for the Valley, in quest of teachers, which are needed in the school for the coming year. Mr. Bur gess visited Eugene, Monmouth, Cor vallis and Salem, and contemplates, in he near future, a trip to Whitman College at Walla Walla. Monday morning found the school as full of "buzzing" as ever. Mr. Jenkins, the architect for the new school building to be erected this summer and completed by school time in the fall, was in Heppner Monday and met with the school board. Mr. Burgess gives us the information that the work is progressing nicely and that the specifications will be out for bid in a few days. Mr. Burgess and Mr. Johnson have just completed a change in the record ystem of the pupils of Heppner high. This new system consists of a loose- leaf record book instead of tho old card system. This change has only been made for the present attendance in the high school, those of past years remaining in the card file. This rec crd system will be much more com plete than heretofore, and the data will be much more easily obtained. Heppnerian Ice Cream Sale. The Heppnerians successfully in troduced a new money-making scheme last Friday when they sold ice cream cones to the grade and high school students. The demand was so great that another frezer had to be ordered. The committee selling ice cream was composed of Audrey Beynier, Mae Doherty and Kenneth Uviatt. A freezer was taken out to the Rodeo grounds and the sum of seven dol lars and seventy-five cents was receiv- by the committee. The entire pro ceeds, including I. 0. U.s amounted to nearly eighteen dollars. Although half of this went to pay expenses, the students feel that, their efforts were well rewarded. o Freshman Return Party. Last Friday the Freshmen gave their. return party which was well at tended with students dressed in out landish costumes. Such strenuous games as "flying dutchman" were played until some of the more deli cate guests were f need to retire from active participation. Gerald Slocum won the prize of two lucious weenie) in an attractive box. Mr. Slocum wore the charming ladies' outfit that he wore in the Junior Dress-Up Day. A costume deserving mention was Joe Swindig's girlish ensemble. Refresh ments of punch and wafers were serv ed and after a few more games the party was over. o Roderick Thomson had the misfor tune to receive a broken finger while playing baseball last Monday. How ever he played the game for his school. Joy Erwin returned to school Mon day after being absent for about two week with the measles. Mae Groshens motored to Portland Monday to visit her parents.
