Class Meetings
The various classes of Heppner
high met last week to elect officers
and outline a program for the year.
However, from the shouts issuing
from meeting rooms, they could
have been mistaken for "pep" ral
lies. This noise is totally unneces
sary in a class meeting. A group
of students should be able to con
duct a business meeting without
making a rough house of it. The
presiding officer cannot be heard
for the arguing among the students.
If this were eliminated and the
business of the meeting attended to
in an orderly way, the meetings
would accomplish a great deal more.
During the election of officers,
some students think It amusing to
nominate an Incompetent person for
an Important office in the class. This
is embarrassing to the person nom
inated, and it certainly lacks the hu
mor Intended. Why not take class
meetings seriously and try to have
a well conducted meeting for a
change?
H.H.S.
"Rousing Rally"
Last Friday night at 7:30, a foot
ball rally was held. It started in
front of the postofflce and proceed
ed up Main street. Nearly every
member of the student body was
present A large number of the
grade school students came out and
showed that they had school spirit
as well as the high school students.
The result of this rousing rally
was shown Saturday when the team
won such an outstanding victory
over Fossil.

New Class Started
This year a change has been made

health discussions. New books were
purchased by members of the stu
dent body. It Is hoped that the stu
dents will receive a great deal of
valuable knowledge from the new
course.

40-0 Victory
With scarcely two weeks of prac
tice, Heppner high's Fighting Irish
sent the Fossil team down to a 40-0
defeat on the local field Saturday
afternoon.
During the first quarter the teams
seemed evenly matched. Early In
the second quarter Gilman threw a
pass to Munkers, and on the next
play Gilman went over for the first
touchdown. The attempted place
kick was blocked. At the half the
score was 6-0 in Heppner's favor.
During the last half through ef
fective passing and good all-round
playing, Heppner ran up several
touchdowns, making the final score
a victory of 40-0.
Next Saturday the Fighting Irish
journey to Pendleton to meet the
strong Pendleton team. But with
one game to their credit, and a week
to iron out the faults that showed
up in the first game, they hope to
revenge the defeat handed out to
them two years ago by the Bucks.

1 Passengers in the smoking
compartment on my train
were arguing about why
railroad business is pick
ing up.
A factory owner said it
was because of Free pick-up-and-delivery
of less than car
load freight. The railroad calls
for the LCL freight at ship
per's door and delivers it to
consignee's door.
A traveling salesman said it
was because so many passen
ger and freight trains now run
on faster schedules.
There was a school prin
cipal in the group and he
said it was because train
travel is so much cheaper
for passengers. He said
passenger fares are at the
lowest point In history,
withsubstantialreductions
if you buy a round-trip
ticket and no more sur
charge for riding in sleep
ing cars.
One man, a farmer, said he
liked something he could de
pend on, that's why he was
traveling by train.
Another man, a newspaper re
porter, said people were in
favor of railroad travel be
cause it is by far the safest. He
quoted a lot of statistics from a
bookcalled,"LiveandLetLive."
A banker we all know by
name said railroad tax pay
