Last Saturday night the Heppner Mustangs met defeat at the hands of the highly-touted Mac-Hi Pio neers, in what proved to be the best game seen on the local court for some time. The crowd was the larg est to witness a game here for sev eral years. Despite the fact that the Pioneers are rated as one of the best teams in the state, the Mustangs gave little ground and provided them with some of the stiffest competition they have had this season. The first quarter was nip and tuck with the crowd in a frenzy before Mac-Hi finally took the lead, 5 to 4. Throughout the second quarter they further increased their lead, until it stood 15 to 8 at halftime. Starting the second half they increased their margin to 29 to 16. The last quarter was even with both teams scoring six points each. The illness of several members of the squad handicapped the Mustangs somewhat, and therefore the start ing team was forced to-play through out the whole game, while the Pio neers used several reserves. The lack of reserves made it difficult for the Mustangs to hold the Pioneers in check during the last stages of the game. , Even though they lost, the Hepp ner team made a good showing and has promise of being victorious in many games during the rest of the season. Next Friday night the Mus tangs tangle with the Arlington Honkers in what has every indica tion of being a thrilling struggle, with the Mustangs out to avenge last year's defeats. The lineup for the Mac-Hi game was as follows: Heppner forwards, Turner (5), Gilman (3); center, Van Marter (8); guards, Munkers, Hos kins (6). Mac-Hi forwards, Kol berg (6); Ireland (8); center, Morris (7); guards Rinker, Fisk (10). Sub stitutes: Mac-Hi Preston (4), Ro loff. Referee: Edwin Ingles, Board man. H.H.S. New Semester Results in Changes With the beginning of the second semester, the English classes will devote most of their time to litera ture, but ten minutes of each class period will be spent in drill on the principles of English. In this way the students will gain knowledge valuable for the Minimum Essentials test. "Occupations" is being offered this semester, with Mr. Blankenship as instructor. This course teaches stu dents facts about the various occu pations and the advantages offered by them for development and ad vancement, as well as surveying the personal requirements for success in any field. The state vocational director has allowed Heppner high school full time Smith-Hughes work. This makes a division of these classes pos sible, and in the future Mr. Grimes will teach nothing but agriculture Mrs. Ed Clark has been engaged to teach biology and geometry, the two subjects which Mr. Grimes formerly taught. Mrs. Clark is also the in structor of a new course called Eng lish Essentials, taught for those who are weak in fundamentals. The two general science classes have been combined into one class, with Miss Peterson as the teacher. H.H.S. Junior Play Selected. This year a hilarious three-act comedy has been chosen for the junior play. The play, "Crashing Society," is the story of a farmer who inherited a large amount of money, and with it troubles with his family. His family, with the exception of his son and himself, is set on crashing New York society. In the play many humorous and embarrassing situa tons exist which will hold one's in terest throughout the presentation. The cast consists of the following: Adam Dunnigan, the husband who prefers the farm; Elsie Dunnigan, the wife who wants to crash society; Marguerite, the oldest daughter; George, the son; Christabel, the youngest daughter; Scruples-Scruples, the butler; Miss Gadgett, the tutor; Mr. Van Witherspoon, a lead er in New York society; Mrs. Van Witherspoon, his wife; Cyril Van Witherspoon, their son; Agatha Mul rooney, virtuoso, and Miss Louise Miller, the reporter. The play promises to be a great success. Everyone is urged to attend and have the time of his life. The date set is March 19. H.H.S. Here's to the Class of '38 Here's to the Junior Class, The class of the third long year. Here's to the members who man aged to pass With trembling and with fear. Here's to the honors they have won, To the teachers and officers true, Who've labored when there was no fun, Through the weeks and the Mon days blue. Here's to the years they've put be hind, With their share of the cuffs and aches. Here's to the ties that long will bind Our love for old '38. H.H.S. Humor Harold Armstrong: "Mr. Ttetz, what is a wampum warehouse?" Mr. Tetz: "I don't know." Harold: "It's an Indian bank." Cora Scott: "Boy! It sure is snow ing." Joe Aiken: "That isn't snow. That's some of the older students shaking the gray hairs out of their heads? Bethal: "Micky, how can I re duce?" - Maxine: "Eat all you can of ev erything you don't like." IT SEEMS AS THOUGH Len and Riley were hunting for two valuable possessions Sunday night. Where and how did you find them? The new schedule is quite dis tressing to the students. What sched ule isn't? A certain junior girl has a special interest in a tall center on the bas ketball team. Here's wishing her good luck. The new boy has a special at traction for freshman girls. Well, why not Andy D.: "Fred, can you loan me some money?" Fred Hoskins: "I couldn't loan you a cent. I'm so poor, I can put my socks on from both ends." Riley: "What's the matter, Andy? You look mad." Andy Shoun(holding up his exam ination papers): "I am. I'm seeing red, I'm so mad." H.H.S. Still Room for Improvement Even though our basketball team did lose last Saturday night to Mac Hi, a much bigger school, we have nothing to be ashamed of because they made a Very good showing against a team ranked high in this state. One of the reasons for the good playing of our team was that they received a large amount of encour agement from the numerous towns people who were at the game. This had a decided effect on the morale of the team, as it showed the boys that you were behind them. For some time it seemed as though all the efforts being made to try to get you to come to the games were in vain, but we certainly appreciated the turn-out Saturday evening. There is still a great deal of room for improvement, however, because the gymnasium was far from full last Saturday night. The major part of the season is yet to come, so don't quit coming now. We have promise of a cham pionship team, and with tournament time looming up in the near future, we must all get behind our boys. Next Friday we play Arlington here, so lets all go and get in on the shel lacking they are going to get for last year's defeat. Remember now! You've got to be there. H.H.S. Guess Who? Dark and handsome with coal-black hair, Flashing smile and olive cheek, Witty, gay nd debonair Is this chivalrous sophomore shiek. What! You think it hard to guess Just who this "guy" can be? His initials alone I will confess 'Tis the one and only A. J. D. Testimonial Would Honor Governor Morrow county has been allotted a quota of $30 by The Governor Charles A. Martin Testimonial, an organization which proposes to place a large bronze bust of the governor in the new state capitol, according to word received by Judge Bert Johnson from J. C. Ainsworth of Portland, president of the testimonial organization. Governor Martin's large part in obtaining the new capitol entitles him to this special recognition, the organization believes. Contributions of $1 to $5 are solicited, which may be left with Judge Johnson. L. L. Gilliam, the government weather observer, was "under the weather" yesterday, being confined at home by flu. ALL CITY OFFICERS Continued from First Page money be turned back to cities' gen eral funds was approved. The PWA street surfacing project being prepared by Frank Hayes, Pendleton engineer, will be ready for presentation to the council at its February 1st meeting, Mayor Jones reported following a telephone con versation with Hayes a few minutes before. Payment of current expense bills completed work of the council at the meeting. Returning from Pendleton Satur day evening on his local stage run, Marion Oviatt hit driving conditions the worst he had found them any time up to then. A heavy wind was fast drifting a blinding snow in og Hollow and on top of Franklin hill. Though he made it across without chains, he doubted if the feat could have been accomplished a few min utes later. Leslie L. Matlock was reported sufficinetly recovered in his fight against an attack of pneumonia to be able to sit up at Heppner hospital the end of the week. J. O. Rasmus, city water superin tendent, was reported as quite ill at his home last night, suffering an at tack of the flu. Mrs. P. W. Mahoney was confined at home by an attack of influenza for several days this week. AT THE LEGISLATURE. Members of the senate committee on alcoholic control at a meeting Tuesday morning predicted that Or egon would soon again be a dry state unless steps were taken to clean up conditions existing in many beer parlors and to enforce the law more strictly. Senator Franciscovich sug gested that enforcement of the pro visions of the Knox act be centered in the Liquor Conrol commission instead of leaving it to city and county officials as 'at present with its innumerable opportunities for buck passing. Newspapermen covering the ses sion whose wives or other relatives are holding down legislative jobs were made the target of a House resolution this week condemning the practice as depriving many needy persons of a chance for employment.
