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.
