SHORT AND SNAPPY.
The folks who dump their rub
bish in conspicuous places, are do
ing everything possible to prove
that their home has no taste.
The higher men climb, the longer
their working day. And any young
man with a streak of idleness In
him may better make up his mind
at the beginning that mediocrity
will be his lot Without immense,
sustaining effort, he will not climb
high. And even though fortune or
chance were to lift him high, he
would not stay there. For to keep
at the top is harder almost than to
get there. There are no office hours
for leaders. Cardinal Gibbons.

Editorial
Many students are discussing the
present book report system. There
seems to be a question as to wheth
er or not the system. In use is of
value. Some think that it discour
ages reading more than it encour
ages it.
The system has its advantages
and disadvantages. The outstand
ing disadvantage is that it encour
ages cheating. Some students ne
glect their reports until too late to
read a book; then in order to avoid
flunking out in English they have
some person who has read the book
tell them the main plot Another
disadvantage is that in many cases
books which do not suit the tem
perament of the student are forced
upon him until he builds up an im
aginary hatred of all books on the
list Still another disadvantage is
that the book reports are coupled
with the English studied and for
this reason if a student fails to get
in the required number of book re
ports each semester he fails in that
semester's work in English.
In spite of these disadvantages,
however, the idea of having book
reports made by students is a good
one. In many cases it teaches
students to enjoy good books; it
develops a certain amount of liter
ary taste; it increases knowledge
of the difference between good
books and bad; with each good
book read comes a certain amount
of enlightenment: perhaps best of
all is the fact that if it were not
for the system many students would
do no reading at all.
In weighing these facts, it would
seem apparent that the system is
valuable; however, if an Idea is
really good, a majority of students
should believe in its value. It so
happens that in this instance this
Is not the case.
For this reason, perhaps a change
in the present system would be ad
visable. There are several methods
known; one might be to have stu
dents list the types of books they
enjoy reading, then have them se
lect books from a list of good ones
of the type which they have signi
fied that they enjoy.
Do you students realize the re
sponsiblity of paying your class
dues?
You have paid your student body
tax in order that ou may get into
the games free of charge, but you
neglect your class dues. These class
dues are essential to carry on class
activities. Remember, the pleasure
resulting from the various class ac
tivities (picnics, etc.) must be paid
for In advance through class dues.
Have you heard or seen any of
the groups of girls bicycle riding
down the highways, or climbing to
the top of the hills around Hepp
ner? This unusual activity on the
part of the girls is due to the "New
Deal" in gym this year, through
which the girls are able to earn let
ters. Hiking, bicycle riding, and
horseback riding are a few of the
outside activities which are to
count toward a high school letter.
Ten points are allowed for each ac
tivity. These activities are to be
carried on before or after school
hours.
Each girl is to hike two and not
over four miles at one time. Credit
Is not given for more than one hike
per week. Girls who have started
hiking and bicycle riding are Jessie
French, Nonnle McLoughlin, Nor
ma Becket, Ethel Hughes, Jennie
1 Swendig, Lorena Wilson, Betty Hill
and Juanita Morgan. .
SPORTS
Heppner's "Fighting Irish" sec
ond team brought home the fourth
consecutive victory for the high
school grid squad when they trounc
ed Lexington 13-0 on the Lexington

tures of the game were Johnny
Hanna's line plunging which result
ed in both touchdowns, and the
brilliant interference of the team
on returning punts and on end runs.
This protection permitted the ball
carrier to sometimes run 35 yards
without having to dodge a single
man.
