THE Hehisch Published by the Journalism Class of Heppner High School Editorial Christmas has again made its ap pearance in the "March of Time," and many hearts are gladdened by the thoughts of the reunion with loved ones. King Frost will set his icy fingers on the scene, thus help ing to paint more clearly the picture of holiday fun. Let's enjoy ourselves and make others happy while doing so. It is merry making. Everyone feels the tingling joy of a holiday season. This is not only a season of re ceiving, but also of giving. We can do a lot for peiple by giving more than receiving, and after all, it isn't the gift we give, but the spirit in which we give it. H.H.S. Christmas There was a Christmas party at the gymnasium Wednesday, in the form of a big social hour. It lasted from eight o'clock to eleven, and a good time was had by all. Refresh ments were served by the Home Ec economics club. Other committees were appointed for decoration and entertainment. Students from the high school who have graduated in the last four years were invited also. H.H.S. Heppner Bows to Goldendale The Fighting Irish tasted defeat for the first time this season at the hands of the fast breaking Golden dale squad at Goldendale last Sat urday. The Washington speedy five ran up a total of 34 points to the Oregonians' 28. The Washington team held the lead throughout most of the game, Heppner taking the lead only once when Gilman sank a basket at the opening of the second quarter. Pacer for the Heppner quintet was Hoskins, with 10 points; Van Marter was next with 8. H.H.S. Class News The junior class members have ordered their class rings. They had their pick between gold and silver; also gold and silver rings with sets. They expect the rings to be thor oughly satisfactory. H.H.S. Feature Flash The alarming number of colds and absences in the last few days make us wonder whether Winifred Rhoades isn't right to a large degree in "It's the Soul That Needs Treat ment." She says "Sick bodies are after all the result of sick souls, and thus we must develop inner strength to face life squarely." H.H.S. Boys' Sports The boys' gym class has taken up the subject of basketball. The boys are divided up into four groups. Twelve minute games are staged be tween the groups. Later on, the class will be divided up into regu lar teams. Ag. II class is building a foot-bath in the boys' shower room. This was a much needed accessory, as there was much danger of "athlete's foot" "getting started among the boys. It seems that many gym suits have disappeared. Many have no way in identifying them all are urged to sew their initials in their suits, so if they are misplaced, they can be iden tified. H.H.S. ""' Humor Did you know that Eileen Kelly looked for the mistle toe all afternoon, and nothing hap pened? Gerald Cason asked everyone to bring him razor blades for Christ mas, to go with his three razors. 'Tis easy enough to be pleasant When life flows along without a frown; But the one worth while is the one who can smile When his garters are coining down? Miss Peterson: (after Fred had nearly tripped one of the girls in the aisle.) "Don't you know you shouldn't do that you had better count to ten after this." Fred: "Yeah, but she'd be gone by then."
