Typing Contest Several of the Heppner high school' students motored to Pendleton on Sat urday of last week to attend the an nual typing contest held in that city. Those composing the crowd were. Margaret Notson, Jack Casteel. Vivian Cason, Letha Hiatt, Miss Pearson and as chauffeurs, Edna Vaughn and Orrin Bisbee. Tne local contestants were not as accurate as usual in their own class room. Baker was awarded the prizes both of the amateur and novice divi sions. The contest started at 10:30 at the Pendleton high school. The teachers assisted in correcting the papers and did not finish until three o'clock in the afternoon. After spending a very in teresting day the party returned early in the evening. The contestants purchased an alum inum cup and printed their names in black on it to console themselves. This proved to be an interesting topic of conversation Monday mrrning. Si Junior Program The long awaited program given by the junior class was finally produced last Friday. The juniors depicted a negro lyceum program and the mem bers of the class were tn black-face make-up. Margaret Notson acted a.i the master, or rather mistress of cere monies, calling upon the members of the troupe to strut their stuff. The outstanding hits were these: Dorothy Herrin, acting both the parts of a boy and a girl, with half of her costume as a boy's and the other half a girl's, carried the assem bly in one hilarious laugh after an other. Velton Owen's screaming mono logue in which the different members of a family were shown, by various distractions of her mouth in blowing out a candle, proved to be nothing short of a perfect scream. A dance by Patricia Mahoney and Velton Owen, followed by a solo by Patricia with dance steps intermingled, gave the per formance something of a vaudeville turn. The usual negro jokes were told, and a "take-off" represented the different classes in action. Judging from the generous applause the student body appreciated the per formance. The troupe left the stage in a car. manufactured for the occasion by Valoice Bramer. Miss Pearson, the class advisor, directed the program ana aiso assisiea at tne piano. -85-Senior Dress-Up Day The entire student bodv wan stnrtlprt Wednesday morning, April 11, when a group of strange and peculiar faces appeared in tne assembly room just before roll was taken. On more careful observation the students discovered these unusually tattered persons to be: Gerald Slocum, John Conder and Stephen Thompson dressed in the very image of modern flappers; all the way from lip sticks to bare knees! Ellis Thomson and Edna Vaughn as old ladies dressed in black, and ap peared very dignified for their age. Stanley Minor, with his prominent make-up, as an old village marshal. Lucille Driscoll and Margaret Smith dressed to look quite old for their young ages. Others hnit-.ted M'tle orphans. In re gard to the laughter, the day proved to be the most exciting one that has occurred during the entire semester. In the evening, they spent the last hour of their perfect day at the movies, still dressed in their funny clothes. Office News The Camp Fire Girls are planning to give a series of teas to which their mothers will be invited.
