There have been several disappointments, but we always came through smiling. The cooperation of the teachers and students has made everyone happy during the year and surely there are many who are wishing that this Is the first week of school Instead of the last week. Heppner had a very successful year in the athletic world. They won nearly all of the games they participated in. They were unde feated by any other school in foot ball and baseball although the bas ketball season was not so success ful due to a continued run of Ill ness and tough luck. The baseba'l season will be completed this Fri day when they play Fossil for the championship of Gilliam, Morrow and Wheeler counties. Al of the students are very busy, especially the seniors. The seniors are trying to finish their work and are getting ready for the graduation exercises. Let us all hope that next year is as successful as this year in every respect. JU.M..B. Junior-Senior Banquet Tonight, May 21, is the night for the annual junior-senior banquet to be given in the Parish House with the aid of the Episcopal wo men of the church.

Humor Can You Imagine Howard not gazing at Beth? Don Turner without a perfect wave? How the wall in the bookkeeping room got dirty? Marjorie Parker not rolling her eyes? Who Floyd Williams' girl is?

Grade News All of the classes of the grade school are going on their respective picnics this week. .The seventh and eighth grades are going to the sawdust pile, the fifth and sixth grades are going to the artesian well, and the third and fourth grades are going to the Mon- ahan ranch on Willow creek. This poem is a fitting selection for the last week of school: Our school is nearly over, And are we truly glad To free ourselves of lessons; Of fear of being "bad"? Summer is before us. Will we profit from her days, Of happiness and sunshine, Or of cloudiness and haze? Shall our lives be better moulded; Our hearts more sorrow know? Shall we grow more sympathetic As onward, now, we go? Let us try to make this summer A joyous one for all, To be refreshed and happy When 'tis time for school next fall. By Betty Marie Adkins, Eighth Grade. H.H.S. Acknowledgement The students of the English VI Journalism class of Heppner high school wish to take this opportun ity to thank the Heppner Gazette Times for publishing our school pa per, The Hehisch. The editing of the Hehisch has afforded us a won derful opportunity to put into prac tical use that which we had learned about journalism. It has also given ua a little pride when we were able to see our work in print which was made possible only by the publish ing of the Hehisch. H.H.S. Safety First As we all know, there has been a great deal of work done to decrease the number of car accidents and the number of deaths caused by this. The schools play a rather import ant part In this work. The high school and grade school of Heppner have been doing a great deal tow ard this aim. The sixth grade has been giving safety plays and making a safety code and rules for children. The fifth grade has been working hard at making original safety rhymes. In the seventh and eighth grades It was required that each student write an essay, entitled, "A Definite Program for My Community to Prevent Highway Accidents and Promote Highway Safety." Two of these essays were chosen and sent to enter the state contest. An as sembly was held on Friday, May 15, for the purpose of demonstrating the safety rules. The grade school is not alone in tha work. An assembly was held on Monday, May 18, for the pur pose of the Safety Driving project A ten minute test was given to the students. After this several talks were given. A longer test was then given. 1 2 oi. S 2 O T3 3- 3L D 3 ft) r o 3 CD II 3 ia si 3? p a o to -) n p n 3 v. a. W p , - o 5 5 c Q. -a S 3 a h a O O ? 0.
