As the school year for 1927 draws to a close a very kindly feeling exists between patrons and teachers. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Johnston and Guy Mauney who have so capably con ducted the affairs of the highschool are leaving with the very best wishes of the entire community. We are sorry that Mr. Mauney is leaving for other fields but pleased indeed to know that Mr. and Mrs. Johnston are returning next year. Our high school athletics have shown up splendidly again, the base ball boys winning the Upper Colum bia league championship. That speaks well for a small school. Several freshmen made excellent averages throughout the year, thus exempting them from final exams. In Mrs. Turner's room Kenneth Warner and Llewellyn Evans of the seventh grade were exempt in every thing except writing, therefore they have had an extra week of vacation. So far as can be determined there were fewer failures in this 6-7-8 grades than in any school taking the state tests there being but one in Oregon History. On tomorrow evening the high school have their commencement with a class of nine graduates. Prof. Tut tie of Willamette will deliver the ad dress. Rev. Wood preached the bac calaureate sermon in the Christian church last Sunday. It is with deep regret that we real ize that Mrs. White, who has success fully taught our 3rd, 4th and 6th grades for three years, is not return ing next year. She and Mr. White have moved to Hermiston where they are engaged in the poultry business. Our best wishes go with them. Miss Mary Gingrich who taught in Her miston this year, will have this de partment next year. Miss Pearl Vail is returning for the primary depart ment and Mrs. Turner again takes the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. A class of eight, consisting of two girls and six boys were graduated fiom the eighth grades on Wednes day evening. These were Neva War ner, Veronica Breshears, Frank Kel ler, Laurel Ruhl, Robert Miller, James Valentine, Maurice Reaney and Clar ence Brenner. Neva Warner received the highest grades. This is the sec ond class of eight that has passed to the high school without a failure since Mrs. Turner has been in charge, Their program follows: Invocation Mr. Wood. Solo Kenneth Thornburg. Duet Keith Gentry and Freddie Wade. Salutatory Veronica Breshears. ' Song 3rd and 4th grades. Class History Neva Warner. Class Song. Class Will Laurel Ruhl. Valedictory Robert Miller. Presentation of Diplomas Karl L. Beach, chairman Board of Education. Special Music Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Turner. Benediction Mr. Wood. As the end of the school year draws near1, there seems to be a lot of social activity. Last Friday the first and second grades, chaperoned by Miss Vail and Miss Alexander, had a picnic in the Lucas grove. They played games, partook of a bounteous lunch and found great sport in looking for birds' nests. Saturday the high school went to Rhea creek for an outing. They were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Johnston and Mr. Mauney. Tuesday Mrs. Turner's room plan ned a picnic but owing to the storm they had a party in their room at school and invited the faculty to join in the feast. All had a very happy time.

There are the statutes of the State. They are your guide. Use your best judgment and do your duty.' On another occasion he said, 'You will make mistakes. Avoid them when you can. After you have made a mistake, rectify it if you can, but do not let your mistakes weigh you down. The world is rath er a harsh critic, but after all it is a pretty just old world and it shows much charity.' 'He was intensely interested in the youth of the community. While he was a member of the board of educa tion at Pendleton, the time we spent in visiting when he came to Heppner was largely devoted to discussing mat ters of education. His views on edu cation were sound. In the last con versation I had with him, he gave me his ideas in regard to the value of debating in the schools. He was liberal in his views. He saw the affairs of life in perspective, and not as one who views them under a microscope. He was charitable and recognized that human beings are in deed very human. "His record on the bench speaks for itself. He was a most diligent stu dent of the law. He spared no effort to go to the bottom of the legal prob lems which came up in his court. He rendered his decisions conscientious ly and aimed to maintain a true bal ance in the scales of justice. "The State has lost an able jurist; the community, a high class citizen; his associates, a true friend." Twenty-eight members of the bar of Umatilla and Morrow counties, as sembled at Pendleton Monday for the funeral of Judge Phelps, expressed their sorrow over the judge's death in the following resolutions: Whereas death has called from earth's activity Gilbert W. Phelps, long and faithfully presiding judge in the Sixth Judicial District of Ore gon, and ! Whereas, the men whose duties have brought them, as attorneys, ,in j close contact with him whose life has I ended, desire to pay a tribute of re ! spect to his memory, and 1 ' Whereas, we recognize his strength of intellect, his love of justice, his fairness of purpose, his rectitude of character, and his devotion to duty, and Whereas, we regard his public ser vice of notable value to the common wealth, and his private example as an uplifting force in the communities where he was best known, and Whereas, it is our judgment that when attacked by the malady which ultimately caused his dissolution, he was one of the outstanding figures in the judicial life of the state, and that his work will endure as a monument to his industry, his vision and his learning; Therefore be it Resolved, that the members of the bar of the 6th Judi cial District of Oregon, in conference assembled, do hereby express to the family of the departed jurist our pro found sympathy in this hour of sor row, declare our considerate recogni tion of the manliness and uprightness of the jurist now gone, and express our belief that in his departure the Th omson Bros.
