"Guess Who," La Verne Van Marter
Feature Story Arlene Morton
H.H.S.
Guess Who?
(Iambic taximeter)
Among the students of our . dear
school
Dwells there a lass, and fair is she;
And all of us she tries to fool,
With that old gag "Footloose and
fancy-free."
Oft in this column appears her name,
Put there by foul means or by fair;
But what's the diff? It's all the
same
Such crusty acts are hard to bear.
If this your brain doth over tax
To guess this fair-haired Heppner
in your easy chair relax
And think you of her dark -haired
pal!
H.H.S.
Mustangs Play Two Games
Last Friday night in one of the
fastest games of the season, the
Heppner high school Mustangs de
feated the local town team by a score
of 45 to 38. Van Marter led the high
school with 22 points. Jimmy Fur
long was high point man for the
town team with a total of 12 points.
The second team played the local
CCC camp and was defeated by a
margin of 21 points, the score being
35-14. Stone was high point man
for the high school team with a total
of twelve points.
Both of these games proved to be
a great advantage to the team and
much experience was gained from
them. It is urged that the town peo
pie turn out better for games after
this. There is nothing so disheart
ening to a team as to look at empty
seats. If there is a crowd there and
a lot of rooting at every game, the
team will go places this year.
H.H.S.
Support the Team
For quite some time it was believ
ed that if a winning team was pro
duced larger crowds would attend
games. But this belief has obvious
ly been disproved, as we had a win
ning football team and now have a
winning basketball team, which has
played seven games and won six.
This is quite an impressive early
season record, and still we have no
crowds at the games.
We, of the high school, are at a
loss to know what more to do to get
people to come to the games. What
more than a winning team do you
want? That alone should bring you
to the games.
Heppner, next to Pendleton, is the
largtst city in this territory, yet the
smaller towns have a larger attend
ance at their games than we do at
ours. This is the main reason why
we cannot get the larger tourna
ments here because we cannot sup
port it, and consequently some small
er town gets it.
It is partly the high school's fault,
too, for this lack of support. A great
many of the students fail to attend
the games even though it costs them
nothing. Another thing is that they
don't talk about the games at home
to create interest. The major fault,
however, is the lack of efficient ad
vertising for the games. An adver
tising campaign must be started im
mediately. The public should realize that
quite some expense is involved in
having basketball games here, and
for this reason more support is need
ed. Heppner plays Mac Hi HERE
Saturday night. Let's turn over a
new leaf and fill the gym with root
ers. This year is a good time for us
to beat the Mac Hi team.
By the way, that "Its too cold"
excuse doesn't go, because the gym
will be heated so as to be comfort
able; the only thing left to do is
come. Raise the roof with your yells!
H.H.S.
Band Number Chosen
The band has not been holding its
regular practices this week due to
the cold weather, which makes it
difficult to heat the gymnasium.
The required number to be played
by the class D bands at the state
band contest for this year has been
chosen. It will be "Festival Over
ture" by Taylor. The piece which
the local band will choose to play
has not yet been selected.
H.H.S.
Good Reputation?
Has the Heppner high school a
good reputation? This question has
always been answered, "Yes." How
ever, this year a certain practice has
begun in the school which casts a
cloud on the good reputation of all
students.
From the beginning of this school
year, different pupils have been
missing money, basketball equip
ment, pens, pencils, and many other
things of value to them. There may
be several persons, or just one, re
sponsible for the disappearance of
these articles, but whoever they may
be, they are a disgrace to the name
of the school.
It is terrible to have valuables
stolen from the Heppner students,
but this does not seem to be the
limit. Two of the players on the
Boardman basketball team had mon
ey stolen from their clothes. From
now on they will believe that they
have to have their personal belong
ings under careful guard when they
play Heppner. That should not be
true. Whoever this person is, he
should refrain from going further.
Even in an organiation as small as
the Heppner school, "CRIME DOES
NOT PAY."
H.H.S.
Pep Assembly
A very short and snappy pep as
sembly was held Wednesday evening
after school. At this time Mr. Blank
enship informed the student body of
the name chosen for the athletic
teams, which was the Mustangs. Mr.
Blankenship presented Len Gilman,
basketball captain, the pennant
bearing this insignia. Afterwards
a few yells were given to boost the
basketball boys on to victoi-y in play
ing the game with Boardman that
night.
H.H.S.
Class News
Most all of the classes in Heppner
high school have started to review
for the semester exams, which start
Thursday morning at 8:45 and end
at 4 Friday afternoon.
The boys' health class has been
studying how to care for colds and
ways to keep from getting them.
The minimum essentials in Eng
lish test was held Wednesday morn
ing for all students.
The public speaking class has
started studying debating and par
liamentary procedure.
H.H.S.
Mustangs Take Boardman
Last Wednesday in a hard fought
battle the Mustangs of Heppner ov
ercame another obstacle in' their
march for basketball honors by de
feating the highly favored Yellow
Jackets of Boardman, 30-23. Board
man, a highly favored team for dis
trict honors this year, could not cope
with the speed and accuracy of the
Heppner squad.
H.H.S.
Heppner Topples Irrigon
Displaying its greatest scoring
drive of the season, the Mustangs
rolled over the Irrigon team Tues
day night on the local court by a
score of 58 to 23.
Despite the high scoring in the
game, the raggedness of the local
team showed that they have yet to
reach their peak. Heppner's lead
was never in danger of being pass
ed, the score at half time being 28-12.
Van Marter and Turner led the
locals with 16 and 10 points each.
In the preliminary, a higher total
score was reached than in the last
game, the local town team taking
the Irrigon town representatives 44-
41. Henry Tetz, local high school
coach, paced the teams with 20
points.
H.H.S.
Humor
Have you ever wondered
About the way Frances has been
acting lately. Is it romance in the
air?
Why some of the students have the
big head? it is simply terrific.
Why two girls in the English V
class like to write about each other
in the Hehisch section whenever it
is possible?
In whom Betty Bergevin is in
terested? (She has us guessing.)
Why some of the girls try to gain
popularity in school by throwin; .he
same old line and putting on the airs
of princesses?
Who parked Sunday evening at
the culvert below the railroad sta
tion? How much Miss Peterson and Miss
Mitchell appreciated Mr. Grimes' car
during the cold wave when it was
out of commission?
Why Joe feels so important?
Thompson Re-elected
To P.P.C.A. Board
R. A. Thompson, director of the
Pendleton Production Credit asso
ciation, together with other Morrow
county people, attended the third
annual business meeting of the as
sociation at Pendleton Saturday. Re
ports made at the meeting showed
another year of sound growth and
beneficial service to farmer-stockholders
and plans were made for
even greater progress during the
coming year.
Mr. Thompson and E. T. Jaco of
Enterprise were elected by member
stockholders to serve on the board
of directors for three year terms.
Hold-over members of the board
were James Hill, Pendleton; A. R.
Coppock, Adams, and H. H. Weath
erspoon, Elgin.
The board elected James Hill pres
ident and re-elected W. E. Moore
as secretary-treasurer, and, R. B.
McCormmach as assistant secretary
treasurer. Using illustrated charts to show
the association's financial progress,
President Hill and Secretary-Treasurer
Moore reported that this co
operatively owned financing organi
zation made $442,000 in loans last
year to its 136 stockholder-members,
helping them to finance their opera
tions on a cash, business basis and
saving a substantial sum by follow
ing a budget and obtaining funds at
5 percent interest.
Through good management and
careful appraisal of loans the asso
ciation again made a profit in 1936,
adding to it's reserve account and
increasing the book value of class
"B" voting stock held by members.
It's legal reserve and capital now
amounts to $168,535.
A. B. Robertson, vice-president of
the Production Credit Corporation
of Spokane congratulated the asso
ciation upon the success it is mak
ing and explained how farmers are
now able to obtain financing for ev
ery sound purpose on a money-saving
cooperative basis through insti
tutions of the Farm Credit adminis
tration. He emphasized, however, that a
continuation of low interest rate is
largely conditional on the making of
only sound loans that are promptly
repaid when due.
James Johns, secretary of the
Umatilla County National Farm Loan
association, spoke briefly on the long
term mortgage financing and service
performed by the Federal Land bank
of Spokane.
John W. Crow, a prominent farmer
of Umatilla county, outlined the sat
isfactory experience of growers se
curing loans from the association.
Resettlement Under
Secretary Wallace
Official word of transfer of the
Resettlement administration to the
U. S. department of agriculture by
executive order effective January 1,
was received by Walter A. Duffy,
regional director, Portland.
"Activities of the resettlement ad
ministration in Oregon, Idaho and
Washington will continue on the
present basis until complete incor
poration in the department of agri
culture and adjustment on the basis
of a permanent and long-time pro
gram to meet the land utilization, re
habilitation and resettlement needs,"
said Duffy.
