HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, DEC. 15, 1932. PAGE THREE The' HEHISCH- Edited by the Journalism Class of Heppner High School STAFF Editor Miriam Moyer Anabel Turner Claire Assistant Editor Reporters: John Glavey, Phelan, Beth Wright, Lora Gil man, Marie Scrivner, Florence Moyer, Anson Rugg and Mary Driscoll. Editorial The boy scout organization is one of the greatest known clubs in history for molding the right kind of character. If a boy carries on his scout work in the right manner it is very educational, and it will also train him to be an excellent citizen. Judging from their conduct at recent meetings the scouts don't fully realize the sacrifice made for them by their sponsors and the ecout committee which consists of Heppner business men who devote their time to the betterment of the scout troop. Do we scouts appre ciate their labor? School Is Out Monday afternoon the Heppner school board met at the high school to determine what to do about the problem of the absences from school, and after careful considera tion decided to postpone school un til the third of January. Class Notes The second year Spanish class has been divided into two groups led by Billy Cochell and Francis Nickerson. The students take a short quizz over the day's work and points are given to the side doing the best work. The contest will run until the end of the six weeks when the losers will enter tain the winners. The advanced secretarial train ing class is proof-reading, typing, and mimeographing the World History paper, "The Roman For um." Mary Thomson and Viola Brown are working as co-editors, Valis Jones as the reporter, and Doria Cox is the proof-reader. This paper will be published some time after Christmas. It is being typed and organized like a newspaper and has an attractive cover. The beginning typing classes are taking paragraph centering as a project this week in preparation for the writing of business letters. The sophomore English class is writing short stories following the short story reading contract just finished. The geometry students have fin ished Book I with a stiff quizz and are ready to start on Book II. The pictures in the commercial and English rooms have at last been centered and hung straight. The English room has a display of posters and lists of non-fiction books to encourage outside reading. Echoes From the Typing Room: 'Isn't it terrible the way Miss Ccppock makes us work?" "Rather! Why, I typed so many letters yesterday that last night I finished my prayers with 'Yours truly,' " "What a horrid scar Ted has on his nose!" "Horrid? The idea! Why, he got that in a footbal game!"

Go smash that blockade, Heppner Hi, Go crashing ahead, Heppner Hi; Your name is our fame protector, On boys, we full expect a victory from you, Heppner Hi. The senior song written by Ha zel Beymer is as follows: Memories, memories, of old Hepp ner High; Her colors fly beneath the sky and banners wave on high.
