Personality Evelyn Kirk Did You Know That? .. Daniel Chinn Guess Who? Maxine McCurdy Basketball Paul McCarty Ten Years Ago Kay Furlong Band News Gerald Cason Assembly Florence Becket H.H.S. Sportsmanship What is sportsmanship? If you had been at the game at The Dalles Saturday night, you would have got ten an idea as to what good sports man ship is really like. It doesn't mean merely good sportsmanship on the part of the team, but also on the part of the student body. If an outsider can't tell which is the home team, there is no doubt that good sportsmanship exists. At the game Saturday there was not a single boo during the whole game; the gym had the same ring to it when Heppner made a basket as when The Dalles made one. . This is not only good for the school but it aids the teams that are play ing and makes a much better game to watch. If the students would strive to give the opposing team a boost, it would better the school as well as the team. But there is al ways some one who thinks it is great fun to boo the opposing team, but trade places with your own team-mates and then see how . you feel! It even injures your own team to boo the opposing team. Let's have one motto, "GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP." By Riley Munkers. H.H.S. Comparison In a recent issue of the Hehisch I noticed an article taken from one of our eastern Oregon newspapers ri diculing our modern popular music." It cited "The Music Goes Round and Round" as sounding as though it had come out of the bughouse. We might reply that "Ta Ra Ra Boom Te a" sounds as though it had or iginated during an acute case of de lirium tremens, and the words are so idiotic that we can't even be sure of the spelling. "When I Grow Too j Old to Dream" eclipses "After the Ball" for sentiment, and if we went back into the songs of yesterday, we could find just as many non sensical songs, in comparison, as we find today. We still respect the old songs which have come down to us, but we try not to go back to pick out the ones of which the older generation might have been ashamed. So why not overlook the "monstrosities" of our music in the face of these facts and let it go at that? -H.H.S. Warm Up Number Chosen The band has chosen the "Stars and Stripes" for their warm up num ber for the state band contest this year. The required number is the "Festival Overture," but the selective number has not been definitely se lected. As soon as the weather warms up the band should progress faster due to extra practices and special classes for different sections. H.H.S. Team on Winning Side Again A short pep assembly was held Friday afternoon for the purpose of creating enthusiasm for the game with Condon that night. Coach Tetz and various members of the team gave short talks commending the support of the student body, which remained intact in spite of several defeats. From the showing which Heppner made at The Dalles and Lexington, we believe the "losing streak" is over and that the team will justify your confidence and sup port in it. -H.H.S. 10 Years Ago One of the greatest events of the year was holding of two debates be tween the junior-senior and sophomore-freshman debating teams. The senior team was composed of Orrin Bisbee, Marjorie Clark and Mary Ritchie. The members of the junior team were Marvin Gammell, Bobby Turner and Claud Conder. On the freshman team were Fletcher Walker, Evelyn Swendig and Kath erine Bisbee. The subject: Resolved, That the Philippines should be giv en their freedom within 5 years. The Heppner basketball team journeyed to lone where they played the lone team, emerging victorious with a score of 9-7. H.H.S. Guess Who? He's a junior lad with a crop of red hair. When it comes to athletics he's al ways "in there." In the student activities he does his share We feel he's the answer to a maid en's prayer; For he's tall, intelligent yes, very smart; In the junior play he handles nicely the leading part. He's the type of a lad who is liked by all. If you say "Van," he will answer your call. H.H.S. New Class Officers Elected In the past week all the classes called meetings for the purpose of electing officers. The freshmen of ficers are as follows: President, Har old Armstrong; vice president, Rich ard Hayes; secretary, Carolyn Vaughn; treasurer, Clara Belle Ad ams. The sophomore officers are, president, Billy Barratt; vice-president, Thomas Gonty; secretary, Mol ly Mclntyre; treasurer, Joan Wright; sergeant-at-arms, Willie Stone. The junior officers are, president, Jack son Gilliam; vice-president, Harriet Hager; secretary-treasurer, Ruth Green; sergeant-at-arms, Vernon Knowles. Senior officers are, presi dent, Kay Parker; vice-presdient, Paul Brown; secretary-treasurer, Neva Bleakman; sergeant-at-arms, Fred Hoskins. H.H.S. Heppner Wins Two Out of Three Playing three games in four davs. two of them on road trips and one at home, the Heppner Mustangs showed some of their lost form bv garnering victories over Condon and Lexington, and losing to The Dalles. Meeting Condon in a home game. the local quintet amassed 40 points to their opponents' 22, running up 8 counters before Condon could score. In the second game, Heppner, stepping into Class A competition, journeyed to The Dalles and made a very creditable showing, losing il-O), after a second half rally fell short by one point. Although The Dalles Indians buried the toma hawk, the Mustangs really showed the material of which thev are made. The Dalles having beaten the strong Hood River team the previous night by a score of 13 to 11. Last Monday on Lexington's home court, Heppner decisively defeated the Jackrabbits by 23 to 7. Lexing ton sank the first basket, but the Mustangs quickly tied the score at two all After about three minutes of close checking, Heppner broke loose and hooped five baskets before the half ended, holding Lexington to a lone field goal. The Mustangs held their lead throughout the re mainder of the game, never being hard pressed by the scrappy Lex ington hoopsters. H.H.S. HUMOR Have You Ever: Wondered why Gerald Roberts didn't feel so well Monday night? (Tuesday morning, also.) Wondered why so many students use the humor column to get even? Wondered why some students can't mind their own business? Heard of the Heppner City Click ers? Heard the jokes that were cut out of the junior play? Wondered why Bethal Blake is writing notes to Jackson? (What will Riley say?) Felt like killing the Humor edi tors? Heard Fred Hoskins "bellow" while playing in a basketball game? (It must be his animal instincts.) After the game at The Dalles last Saturday night the basketball team was enjoying a meal at one of the downtown restaurants. It seems as though some of The Dalles girls had taken a shine to the Heppner play ers and were waiting outside. The Heppner players were kidding each other about these girls when Len Gilman spoke up and said, "I'm im mune to things like that." "Oh, you catch everything that comes along," another team member quickly replied. "The only thing I ever catch is 'chicken pox'," Len retaliated. Then the coach spoke up: "That's the first time I've heard it called that," he said. Was Len's face red? Emmett Kenny: "That new farm hand of ours is terribly dumb." Vernon Knowles: "How's that?" Emmett: "He found some milk bottles in the grass and insisted he had found -a cow's nest." H.H.S. Grade Team Wins Twice In a game against the Lexington grade school last Thursday, the local grade school team was victorious by an overwhelming score of 23-2. As a thrilling preliminary to the high school game Monday, the sev enth grade cagers edged out the Lex ington team by a score of 14-13. In this game the Lexington "bunnies" tied the score in the last minute, af ter trailing by a wide margin, only to lose after Aiken converted a foul shot in the last few seconds of the tilt. H.H.S. Do You Know That 1. Southern engineers are now using cotton in road building? 2. Wood ticks the kind you find on your dog can live for three or four years without food? 3. Scientists have revived animals suffering from electric shock by giv ing them a counter shock? 4. The foreign-born population of the United States is more Italian than any other nationality? 5. Bear and moose are increasing in number instead of decreasing, as is commonly supposed. 6. Wisconsin conservation workers will plant a billion fish in- Wiscon sin lakes and streams this year? 7. In Fairbanks, Alaska, baseball is played at midnight under natural light the perpetual light of the northern summer? 8. Social leaders of America re ceive more than a million dollars a year for advertising testimonials? The Vanderbilt name brings the highest price. 9. Citizens of Boston pay more for brown eggs than white, but New Yorkers willingly pay more for white? It s just a matter of local prejudice. 10. Careful tests show that the difference between break-neck speed and careful driving, over the thirty five miles to a neighboring city, pro duces an average time saving of only seven minutes? H.H.S. Brain Tormenter Answer to last week's puzzle: Don't be foolish. There was no boy, there was no gun, there was no wa termelon or farmer. There wasn't anything, because when watermelons ripen, ponds are not frozen over- in adjoining fields. A mother worm, a father worm and a baby worm lived happily in a verdant field. One day a neighbor told them that he had overheard the farmer say that he was going to plow up the field the following day. In great consternation the worm family packed and moved over the wall into the next field, where they dug them selves a hole and went to sleep. The next morning, as is the habit among worms as among mortals, the baby worm got up first, crawled out of the hole, looked around and saw that their old field was really plowed up. He said with great enthusiasm and relief, "Gee, I'm glad we moved over here, all five of us." Explain why he said, "All five of us." H H.S PINTO-POINTS Paul McCarty Looks as if the local uintet has regained some of its lost prestige . . . or whatever you want to call it . . . two victories in three games over the week end . . . and The Dalles just beat them by a measley free throw. By the way, The Dalles Indians nosed out Heppner one point and Hood River by two points . . . fig uratively speaking, that makes the Mustangs one point stronger than Hood River . . . but Hood River de feated Mac-Hi three points and then the Pioneers turn around and take Heppner by 13 tallies ... so what? Comparing our N. C. A. L. and seasonal standings, the latter is more impressive. Basketball rates as the most popular inter-club and class sport at Colorado Women's college . . . seems to be almost vice-versa among the local . feminine students. The F. F. A. smoker promises to be a donnybrook. Four members of our faculty are alumni of Oregon State and one of the university . . . and as far as the Oregon-O. S. C, basketball "civil war" is concerned, our Oregon representative leads the conversation when the five tutors get together to confab. Surprise of the week: Large representation of Hepp ner students at the Lexington game. Here it is February and still no men tion of a swimming pool . . . how about it, downtowners? Remember how many times the Hermiston hoopsters swished the net on their last visit here? . . . wouldn't disturb our record at all to reverse that this coming Saturday. Professional Directory A. D.
