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!"
"Can you imagine anything
worse than a giraffe with a sore
throat?" asked Frank.
"Yes, a centipede with corns,"
replied Anson.
A bookkeeping examination pa
per contained this information:
"Posting is a part of horse-back
riding."

Electric Battles Fought by
Benziners
There was electricity in the air
at the last meeting of the Benzine
Ring. Mr. Lumley furnished the
supply with a static machine. The
members tested themselves to see
what they would stand. Some mem
bers fought one another with the
current; whenever the opponents
came within a few inches of each
other, sparks would leap between
them. On the face and back this
could easily be felt. The entertain
ment committee tried to make
some Pharoahs' serpents but they
didn't work. A report on super
stition was given by Kathryn McLaughlin.
Booster Club Has Party
Did you blow soap bubbles at the
Booster club party Saturday night?
Reese Burkenbine blew the largest
bubble and was awarded a pump
kin pie.
Hazel Beymer took charge until
officers were elected which are:
Jimmie Furlong, president, Hazel

nior, Curtis Thomson; junior, Mar
vin Morgan; sophomore, Howard
Furlong, and frosh, Howard Bry

The third grade children are now
making Christmas presents for
their fathers and mothers. In the
past week they have done acts of
service by taking down presents to
Harry Ring, who is sick.
Frosh Win Song Contest
An assembly was held recently
to sing songs the classes had mod
eled. There were yells given also.
The freshman class had the win
ning song which was written by
Elinor Adkins. The judges for the
songs were Mrs. Jesse Turner, Mr.
Buhman and Mrs. Bloom. The ju
niors got honorable mention for
their song, written by Anabel Tur
ner. The judges advised that the
senior class song written by Hazel
Beymer be kept in the official song
book.
The winning song is as follows:
"We're loyal to you Heppner Hi;
You're purple and gold, Heppner
Hi;
We'll back you to the stand,
Against the best in the land,
For we know that you can stand,
Heppner Hi, rah! rah!
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.
High school days, golden days
are gems we may recall,
So lets' join in song as we march
along
In memories of Heppner High.

Otto Rietmann reports sub-zero I
weather at his farm near lone, but
is of the opinion that no particular
damage had been done to growing
grain. It may take time to tell,
however, and like many others in
the farming game, Mr. Rietmann
would feel just a little better had

way cool the ardor of the woolmen

fine shape, according to these visit
ors. Edward F. Bloom, superintendent
of Heppner schools, accompanied
by Mrs. Bloom and Miss Dorothy

MRS. ELLA FARRENS.
The epidemic of Influenza which has
swept this community does not seem to
show any sign of being obliterated for
a while. Nearly every family has one
or more members suffering from the
disease. There has been a marked de
crease in attendance the last two weeks
at school as about fifty per cent of the
pupils are down with the disease.
The splendid fall weather we had
previously been enjoying came to a
sudden end this last week when the
temperature fell to 10-12 below Wed
nesday night and 23-25 below Thurs
day night; back to 10 below again Fri
day night. The ground has also been
covered with snow the last few days.

his fast trotting horses hitched to the
buggy up from his ranch In Rood can

of travel may be somewhat out of style
it Is still the surest way of covering
the ground this winter weather,
pleted last Friday. Those who worked
there are to be congratulated upon its
fine appearance. As this was the first
repairing that has been done on the
building for nearly thirty years it was
badly in need of being done. The
money used for the purpose was raised
by townspeople two years ago under
the supervision of Rev. and Mrs. Moore.
Special thanks are due to Mrs. J. W.
Stevens who worked there about eight
hours a day for thirteen days and su
pervised the work in general. She was
assisted most of the time by Mrs. Carl
Leathers, Mrs. Frank McDaniel, Mrs.
Lew Knighten, Miss Lucile Farrens
and Miss Mary E. Inskeep. Several
other people contributed a few days'
work, including Mr. and Mrs. Emit
Johnson, Wes Stevens, Ed Moreland.
Mr. and Mrs. Buck Adams. The severe
cold weather and serious Illness un
doubtedly prevented many from assist
ing in the work.
