The Low Down To look at the senior class the ordinary individual would think first of high ambitions and youth, going out to conquer the world, etc. But here is the low down taken from senior autograph books, Un der the heading of ambition ouch things as "be an old maid, expert wine tester, old soak, to catch a but terfly," and many other like amhl- tions are found. And then there is Edmond Gon ty's book. No one would Imagine Edmond had so many girl friends until he had looked at the long list under the title "My Best Girl Friends." In these senior autograph books there are places for class officers, favorite teachers, classmates, ath letics, dances and parties. One of the most remembered events in the history of the class of .'33 is their first flunk day, and also their second. The first day every one met at the court house at an early hour, and were eager to get started. But at that time it started to rain and snow, and it was decid ed to call the picnic off and go to school and try it some other day. The food had to be eaten, however, so that night after school they got cars and journeyed out to the Glen Jones ranch and had a very enjoy able evening. The next week they tried it again and this time the weather was fa vorable although the roads were very muddy and slick and they al most got mired down. This time they went to the Anderson cabin and had a great time. Then there are the more pleas ant memories of student body and class picnics which have been great successes. Senior Prophecy The following seniors' prophecy was given by Francis Nickerson at the banquet: "I felt very honored last evening when I received an invitation to the house party of my friend, the countess of Stanebridge, the great opera star who was, by the way, formerly Miss Winifred Case. I shall not dwell on the journey to the summer home of my friend in Tift Juana, but when I arrived I was met at the door by a very pom pous and dignified butler who im mediately called a porter to take my bags to my room. There was something very familiar about that butler, but what was it? Oh yes, his feet! He had wonderful feet, very long and narrow, and then I knew who it was. Of course, it was Edmond Gonty. He knew me the minute I spoke to him about the good old times; then he turned quickly and motioned to the butler who turned out to be Lyle Cowdry, Lyle had come to Mexico to study the sociological conditions there, but when he could get a good job as porter for the Countess from Edmond he decided to stay. Well, to return to my story, Edmond went with me to my room, talking just as usual. In the corridor whom should we meet but June An derson, dressed in the very latest style, as she, I learned later, al ways has her clothes designed by Madam Maccoronl, formerly Mrs. Donald Cowdry, who is now a Par isian fashion artist. June later told me her sad story. Ted McMurdo, who is now an elec trical wizard in the city of Hard man, was engaged to her; but un fortunately he went to the famous summer resort, Ritter, I think, and while there he met a blonde with whom he became infatuated. June would not tell me her name, but I learned later it was Hazel Beymer, who was at the time a very sophis ticated divorcee just returning from Reno. Ted and Hazel got married and disappeared, leaving June heartbroken. Herman Green, the big game hunter, and his wife, for merly Edna Jones, and their Held assistant Esther Adams, reported having seen Ted and Hazel In Af rica teaching the natives bolshe vlsm. After leaving June, I dressed for dinner, Which was a very sumptu ous affair with many liveried ser vants and all such things. From the members of the class of '33 that were present I learned much about the others who were absent. I heard that Wrex Langdon was working In the finger waving de partment of a beauty parlor owned by Caroline Moyer. This did not surprise me as much as did the news that the bird man, formerly Jimmy Furlong, was In Rlngllng Brothers' circus doing trapeze work. Lionel Strongback, former ly Marcel Jones, was with him do ing weight lifting. Kathryn Mc Laughlin was present, but as I did not get to talk with her I asked the person alongside me what she was very depressed look on her face. She is In a dependable business she owns an undertaking parlor. Quite the opposite from this is the story of Beatrice Thomson who only weighs ninety pounds. She is a hula dancer and with her run ning mate, Annie Crump, is going to De starred in tne new Meter Syl verwyn Meter picture "Just Two Blushing Beauties." Beulah Eskelson was present and was just beginning to tell me about tne baby nursery she owns and the success she is having with the tiny tots in which she has the assist ance of Gladys Cason, who was at that time off somewhere on her third honeymoon, when suddenly two masked men rushed in; both were armed and ordered everyone to sit still while they removed the valuables. However, just as they started forward, a figure appeared in the doorway behind them, and I learned later that it was the chief cook, formerly Doris Cox. As soon as she saw what was happening she made a loud shriek, which so un nerved the robbers that the big game hunter and the butler were upon them before they could move, and after" a terrific struggle con quered them. They were brought forward and unmasked, and who should they be but Bill Beckett and Tom Hottman who had found it easier to lift people's purses than to work for a living. However, since they were old classmates and promised to reform they were for given and sat down to eat with us. The heroine of the nerve-breaking scream was made to give a speech wnicn sne did in her modest man ner. Well, that is all that haD pened at the dinner and the next day after many hearty goodbyes, lerc lor Home. Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1933. Heppner, Ore., May 13, 1933. KNOW ALL MEN, That we. the class of 1933, in twenty-two indi vidual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, jn full possession of a crammed mind, well trained mem ory, and almost superhuman under standing, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, in the manner and form following, to-wit: JflKST, It is our will, and we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superinten dent and his all-wise faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last in junction of the dying, that the fu neral be carried on with all the dig nity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our po sition as seniors must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dis pose of the same as follows; We give and bequeath to our be loved faculty all the amazing know ledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various exam- nation papers. We know that much which we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all teachers and students every where, and would throw much new light on many a hitherto familiar ine of thought, throughout the whole world of science and learn ing, even outside the halls and walls of the Heppner high school. We trust the faculty will feel at per fect liberty to make use of all such bits of wisdom and enlightenment for the progress of the classes to come after us. We give and bequeath to our dear superintendent, Professor Edward F. Bloom, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. The seniors, no doubt, have been a con stant strain upon him, for it is said that they are at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But he has well done his duty, and veruy, now shall he have his well earned reward. We give and bequeath to the ju nior class all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such bril liant girls as compose the majority of our class, trusting that the ju nior gins may be able to hold them firmly and steer them next year through the gates of commence ment, that they may not share in the humiliation that has been ours at not being able "to hold our men folks" as women of the world put it We likewise give and bequeath to this same junior class, Ted Mc- Murdo's knowledge of sociology. science, philosophy, art, and the universe in whole or In part We trust the class may be able to sur vive it The following may seem but tri fling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away be cause we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed In our free and full be stowal: 1. To the football team of next year, the ability of Lyle and Wrex (we couldn't Induce Curtis to sur render his). 2. To all future class presidents, Hazel's ability to convince Profess or Bloom of the said president's un erring judgment. 3. To Harold Wright, Doris Cox's gift of gab. 4. To Francis Nickerson , Her man's ability to bluff. 5. To Anson Rugg, the example of all the members of this class. We have proven ourselves able to keep quiet at all occasions. Sheer num bers ought to convince and convert Anson. Gladys Cason bequeaths her re served mannerisms to Anabel Tur ner. 7. June Anderson dedicates her past four years of idleness and wasted time spent at books to Ar- fortunate who by mischance might seek to follow In her footsteps. 8. Anne Crump declares her will ingness to will to Paul Phelan her boistrous laugh. 9. Jimmy Furlong leaves his dancing experience to Harold Ayers to assimilate and sincerely hopes that Harold might become his close second when it comes to Inventing fantastic tangles. 10. Marcel Jones wills his colle giate manner to Raymond Drake. 11. Toots Brown wills her heart not her hand to Don Cowdry. She would like to will her hand, but since the laws are strict in regard to holding hands in the assembly hall, she must wait. 12. Kathryn McLaughlin be queaths her speed and pep to Mary Driscoll. 13. Edna Jones wills her late hours and frivolities to Beth Wright and Alice Bleakman with the hope that they will be sent to the crema torium, there to meet an early death not the girls, however. 14. Beulah Eskelson wishes to be queath to the juniors her entire collection of dolls, rattles, and oth er parphernalia, usually found in any well-regulated nursery, and she has a milk bottle that is the right size for Marvin Morgan which she is sure will please him. She also wills her baby buggy to the class of '34 to wheel Claire Phelan in. She is sure It will fit him for it has wheel base of six inches. 15. Bill Becket has declared his willingriess to have all the old gum to be found in the eighth desk in the ninth row in the assembly to be divided between Frank Anderson and Billy Thomson 16. Tom Hottman bequeaths his bass voice to Mat Kenny and hopes that the combination of tones won't bring on gout or rheumatism 17. Esther bequeaths her state of mind, condition of unrest, and hab its of nervous dread of snakes, liz ards, toads, and hornets to her friends and Reese Burkenblne, hop ing against hope that It will im prove his fear of the dark and cause him to stay home nights. 18. Caroline Moyer has at last consented to depart with a few of her many demerits. These are left to the family, however, Florence and Miriam Moyer sharing equally. 19. Edmond Gonty wishes to be queath to Roy Gentry his size One shoes. Roy should be justly proud of this inheritance as these shoes have been the making of Edmond. If Roy deigns not to receive these we suggest that he will pass them on to Delia Ulrich with the hope that she will prize them. 20. Winifred Case leaves her po sition as high school songbird for Marie Scrivner and Rachel Anglin Tto scrap over. 21, Lastly, and perhaps leastly, comes a tiny, frail, piece of human ity, commonly called Bee. After reading such an exhaustive article as this she will have brain fever from overwork of the gray matter. Therefore, it is sad to relate, she can leave the school nothing by which to remember her. 2. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and whereso ever, of what kind and quality (af ter paying our debts and funeral expenses) we give and bequeath to our worthy class advisor, Dorothy Straughan, for her use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of as she may see fit. IN WITNES WHEREOF, We, the Class of 1933, the testators, have to this, our will, written on one sheet or parchment, set our hands and seal this thirteenth day of May, one thousand nine hundred thirty- three. Style Show A style show was given by the do mestic art one and two classes on Tuesday afternoon at the high school. The dresses included sports, sunbacks, wool, afternoon silks. doing. She wore a very gloomy black serge dress and had a very, 1 mln Wihlon or any other poor un- thing with its Un and pure steel wire glistening, was presented to Charles Lester Furlong. The dip lomas, large tanned sheepskins tied with ribbons, were tossed to their owners. Then the senior songsters sang "We Got the Diplomas" to the tune of "So I Ate the Bologna." All the girls were dressed in night gowns and boy's caps. Each had a large lolly-pop. The stage decora tion was tumble weeds and lilacs. EXAMS. Exams magic word what is it about exams that makes students suddenly appear wild eyed and dig their noses deep into their books? Exams came Wednesday and Thursday for those poor unfortun ates who had to take them. The general opinion of the students was unusual ( ?) this year. They hoped that the tests would be very easy, that there would be lots of time to do them, and last but by no means least that the teachers would be very liberal In their grading. Strange! Certificates Given The following students are re ceiving certificates from the 20th Century Bookkeeping company: Al ice Bleakman, Chet Christenson, Herman Green, Florence Moyer and Miriam Moyer. These students have maintained an average of not less than 2 during the school year in this class. Their names will be placed on the honor roll in the commercial room. coat, skirts and Scrivner acted as smart dress shop, ers came in and blouses. Marie consultant in a As the custom asked for Infor mation concerning clothes, she would have her models come in and show customers what was being worn. Last Edition This is the last edition of the Hehisch, and In spite of exams the students are managing to put it out. It is hoped that next semester a similar column will be published. The whole junior English class wish to express their thanks and appreciation to the Heppner Ga zette Times for the use of their col umns. Senior Assembly Last Tuesday the student body and many visitors were kept in an uproar by the rollicking antics of the senior class. Also a style show was given by the sophomore girls under the supervision of the Do mestic Art teacher, Miss Palmiter. The program, Which was directed by June Anderson, went as follows: Introduction, Daddy Blossom (Edmond Gonty; commencement address, Alfred Lord Tennyson (Herman Green); valedictory, Win nie Winkle Case: salutatorv. Rnln baby-face Eskelson; presentation of grade award, Mrs. Wall Gannel (Doris Cox) ; scholarship cup, Darn- it Carrot (Ted McMurdo); present ation of diplomas, Snarls Bumpson (Bill Beckett); song, "We Got the Diplomas," senior songsters. Class roll: Fllptoad Frog Adams; Mary Belle Beymer; Winnie Win kle Case; Baba Blacksheep Cason; Sir Sidney Cowdrey; Bula Baby- face Eskelson; Charles Lester Fur long; Minnlehaha Smith -Jones; Permanent Wave Jones; Dizzy Ir ish McLaughlin; Sylvie Soapface Moyer; Maty Anne Oviatt; Perclval Cadwallader Langdon. The Introduction by Daddy Blos som and his eternal mustache was very complimentary. The Com mencement Address was not of the future, but was a revelation of the past. Miss Case as valedictorian made a speech about Nothing and -what a useful word It was. The salutatory by Miss Eskelson was a baby-talk condemnation of the teachers, one and all. The grade award, a lnrge fine medal made of two blanket pins, was presented to Francis Nickerson, who was sup posedly an eighth grade graduate, the Scholarship Cup, a beautiful Exemptions Exemptions from examinations in all the high schol subjects were an nounced Tuesday in the separate classes. To be exempt in a subject a student's semester grade must be a 3- or higher after -the demerits gained from any clasa have been deducted. Each demerit to the stu dent's discredit, following the first one which doesn't apply, brings down the exemption grade one point as from a 2 to 2-, a 3 to 3-. If a student has received five demerits he must take all his exams regard less of his grades. Student Body Picnic The annual student body picnic was held at Rock creek at the In dian camp ground. Eight cars and one truck were used for transport ation. Outside a slight mishap of the truck and two duckings, the day was not unusual. The roads from Hardman to the camp grounds were quite muddy. The amusements of the day were as follows: baseball game, climb to the ice caves, walk up to the old Anson Wright cabin, the oldest in the country, and splashing water on people near the creek. Then dinner was served. Many cakes, sandwiches, salads, and cookies were devoured along with about two cases of soda pop. Afternoon entertainments: horseshoes, hikes, gossip, wading, more water splash ing and a paper chase. Marcel Jones threw Joe Green in the creek. Joe fortunately found some dry clothes; he then proceed ed to find Marcel and push him in the creek. Thus the spirits of two lively boys were dampened. During the paper chase Francis Nickerson got between the hares and the hounds and proceeded to lead the hounds off on a different trail, taking them in a circle, and leaving them where they started. The paper chase was the last thing on the program. All people who rode back on the truck were given a free bottle of pop. Dick Benton drank seven bottles of pop and stood up to brag about it The trip back was quite unevent ful. GRADE NEWS The first and second grades com bined picnic will be held at the city park Thursday, May 25. The students of the second grade have just finished studying the life history of the frog. They saw the frog In all the different stages but failed to see them when fully de veloped. The second grade is proud of its perfect attendance for the last three weeks. Nancy Roblson of the second grade has moved to Portland. The third grade has finished a lunch cloth, which has been a pro Ject of the grade and the pupils are FOR A GOOD MEAL .
