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

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

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:

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,

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

veloped. The second grade is proud of its
perfect attendance for the last
three weeks.
Nancy Roblson of the second

The third grade has finished a
lunch cloth, which has been a pro
