Basketball Team Puts on Show
An assembly was held last Friday
in the gym. The boys chorus sang
three numbers, "Dinah," "Parade of
the Wooden Soldiers," and "When
My Dream Boat Comes Home."
A novel feature of the program
was a demonstration by Mr. Tetz
and the basketball boys explaining
some of the things about a basket
ball game which usually puzzle the
audience.
Mr. Shuirman, a former coach, was
present and was introduced to the
assembly.
The program concluded with a
basketball game with the freshman
and sophomore girls playing the ju
niors and seniors. The freshmen and
sophomores won by a score of 19-9.
Teachers Attend Meeting.
The North Central Oregon School
master' club met at Irrigon Monday
night. Mr. Buhman, Mr. Tetz and
Mr. Blankenship attended from
Heppner. A delicious steak dinner
was enjoyed. The business meeting
followed the dinner. Following this,
the Irrigon school gave a short pro
gram, which was followed by a bas
ketball game between Irrigon and
Echo town teams. All club mem
bers were guests of the Irrigon town
team for the game. The grade school
teachers meeting was postponed un
til Tuesday, because of conflict in
dates with the schoolmaster meet
ing. H.H.S.

games with Arlington Friday. The
first team won 21-10 and the second
team 27-6.
This class held a debate Monday.
The question was: Resolved, That
students should be required to have

mative won. Debaters on the affir
mative side were Jack Vaughn, Hugh
Crawford and Frances Wilkinson.
Those on the negative were Donald
Bennett, Kathryn Thompson and
Frances Cox. The judges were Pa
tricia Dooley, Harry Q'Donnell and
Alex Thompson.

History Class Holds Discussion
The panel discussion held in the
American history class last Friday
brought out quite a few points on
the topic, "Have we adequate de
fense?" A new light was thrown
on the subject by comparing it with
the old basketball adage, "The best
defense is a good offense." It was
discussed pro and con. The class
discussion involved the reconstruc
tion period and aftermath of the
Civil war. This era was also com
pared with the ' periods following
previous and late wars.

Our Ag Instructor
Mr. Grimes, the Smith-Hughes
instructor in Heppner high school,
was born in Harrisburg, Oregon,
where he resided with his parents
while attending grade and high
schools.
Being one of the outstanding 4-H
club boys in the United States, Mr.
Grimes received a scholarship to
Oregon State college upon his grad
uation from high school. He attend
ed Oregon State for four years, dur
ing which time he was active as a
member of the college dairy and of
livestock judging teams.
This is Mr. Grimes' first year of
teaching and, likewise, is the initial
year for Smith-Hughes work in this
school. Both Mr. Grimes and the
Smith-Hughes department have
made many friends.

HUMOR
Riley Munkers (Coming out of the
restaurant on a basketball trip) ; "Say,
fellows, one of the eggs I had for din
ner had a lady's name and address on
it, and under that was 'please write'."
Mr. Tetz: "Are you going to write
to her?"
Riley: "No. When I opened the egg,
I decided she was a pretty old lady
by this time."
We are wondering which of her three
boy friends Betty Bergevin will choose?
Ruth Green: "What do you mean by
saying our boys resemble kerosene
lamps?"
Fred Hoskins: "They generally
smoke, frequently go out at night, and
are often turned down."
Which will Harriet Hager choose a
blonde, brunette, or red head?
Florence Becket: "Oh, Paul, is It
really a diamond."
Paul McCarty: "By gosh, if it isn't,
I'm out four bits."
Arlene Morton's Willow Creek Irish
man seems to be stepping out on her.
Watch out!
Mr. Buhman (during band practice) :
"Why don't you pause? Don't you see
it is marked 'rest'?"
Joe Aiken: "That's all right. I'm
not tired."
Margaret Browning (over the tele
phone) : "I didn't mean to make you
wait so long, but I was disconnected."'
Francis: "There's a woman peddler
at the door, Gerald."
Gerald R.: "Chase him off. I don't
want to buy any women."
Orchestra Leader's Nightmare
When my dream boat comes home.
I'll have plenty of money and you. Then
I'll sine you a thousand love songs
when we are alone. The night is young,
and you re so beautiiui, pretty baby.
Please keep me in your dreams, because
I can't lose that longing for you when
I'm under your spell. You are so easy
to love, and I can't help falling under
your spen. we u stop at tne cnapel in
the moonlight for sentimental reasons;
then it is good night my love till we
meet again.

Brain Buster
Answer to the last puzzle: He
was only a baby worm and couldn't
court!
For several months a man had
noticed a very well dressed but
heavily veiled woman in a commut
ers' train- After some hesitation he
struck up an acquaintance with her
and found her interesting, intelli
gent, and cultured. After a short
space of time, although he had never
seen her face, he fell deeply in love
with her and asked her to marry
him. She told him he must first
visit her at home. This he did that
very night. When he arrived, he
found that she was colored. This
fact did not deter him, and he re
fused to be put off. She demurred
because of his family, but he assured
her that his family would thorough
ly approve.
Why was he so sure that every
thing was all right?
-H.H.S.
Ten Years Ago This Week
On the first honor roll this six-
weeks were the following: Marjorie
Beamer, Katherine Bisbee and Orrin
Bisbee.
An art exhibit of more than one
hundred and fifty of the Old Mas
ters was opened Wednesday after
noon. The paintings were loaned to
the school by the Colonial Art com
pany of Denver. Ten cents admis
sion was charged for the exhibit.
The Heppner basketball team fin
ished their schedule last Friday night
when the Lexington team defeated
them by a score of 24-7.
A typing contest is to be held at
Pendleton March 26. Pupils chosen
from this school are Marjorie Clark,
Mary Ritchie, Orrin Bisbee and John
Conder.
Mr. Sigsbee was at the schoolhouse
Thursday and Friday, taking indi
vidual pictures of the seniors and
group pictures of other classes and
of organizations of the various
branches of high school.
The six-weeks' exams were given
Thursday and Friday, but the grades
were withheld until the debate teams
have finished their schedule.
PINTO-POINTS
With the gathering of six bas
ketball teams, representing three
counties, Heppner and Lexington
play the first game of the first round
in the tournament starting tomorrow
evening. In the second game, Con
don takes on Fossil, and in the third,
lone tackles Boardman. Only two
teams will be eliminated in the first
night's tilts, as the strongest loser
of Friday's contests still figure in the
running. Probing through past rec
ords, Heppner, Condon, and Board
man are favorites to emerge victor
ious from Friday's round of play.
In the semi-finals, the Mustangs fig
ure to eliminate the Gilliam county
ambassadors, and the Yellow Jackets
to do the same to Friday's strongest
loser, probably Fossil, although Lex
ington's chance to pull an upset is
opportune. Providing all competition
is brushed aside Heppner and Board
man are probably finalists, giving
an edge to the Inglemen- This all
figures out nicely on paper, but
basketball games aren't won on the
pulp product. There's always a
chance for an upset, and the law of
averages . . . well . . .
The referee selected to work the
games is the arbiter who was so
popular among the tournament fans
here two years ago Eddie McMurdo
of Walla Walla.
Off the backboard Hank Luisetti,
star Stanford forward, has scored
652 points in three years of college
competition.
Mother, may we go swimming?
Yes, my darling daughter.
- Strut around, show off your
clothes,
But don't go near the water.
Unless something is done in the
near future about providing for a
plunge, the situation will be worse
than is denoted in the last verse.
Took in The Dalles-Bend game at
The Dalles last Friday night. It's
possible but not very probable that
Bend will get to the state tourna
ment, but if they should,- the re
sults will no doubt be the same as
in '36. They got there and that was
all. The Lava Bears had to take on
the team that reached the semi-finals,
the team that shellacked Hepp
ner, Mac-Hi.
Athena is the favorite to cop the
tournament at Arlington.
The Honkers are expecting Board-
man to visit them next week Let's
surprise them!
H.H.S.
Heppner Loses to Mac-Hi
Mac-Hi scored an overwhelming
victory over the Heppner team last
Saturday at Milton-Freewater, scor
ing 51 points to the Mustangs' 20.
The Pioneers were sinking baskets
from every angle and were practic
ally unstoppable. The Mac-Hi squad
took a commanding lead in the first
half that put the game on ice. Sum

Guess Who
A little senior boy is he,
And just as active as he can be.
He's president of the H-Club and
F. F. A.
And an excellent sportsman in every
way.
He's very fast on the basketball
floor,
And usually helps to make the score.
He's a good little fighter in every
game,
And though we're losing, he fights
just the same.
He's a swell kid with a lot of spunk,
The kind that never says, "I'm
sunk."
Call him what you may
But most of us just call him "Munk."
AN UNUSUAL YEAR.
This is the first year in their many
years of operation on Sand Hollow
that they will not be able to lamb on
grass on the hills at Rose Lawn
ranch, said David Hynd, secretary
of Hynd Brothers company, when in
the city Tuesday. They are moving
all their sheep to the Cecil ranch for
lambing operations which Mr. Hynd
said would start March 10. The
snow was off the hills on Sand Hoi
low, though large drifts still remain
ed in the canyons. Little evidence
of run-off was shown. Grass ap
pears to be about a month late in
starting, but Mr. Hynd believed the
range would be the best in years
when it comes. To show that the
ground is really moist, he cited the
experience of his brother Will and
one of the hands the other day. They
started out across the hills in a pick
up with supplies to assist in taking
the sheep across to the Cecil ranch.
They started early in the morning,
returning late that night after hav
ing spent most of the day digging
the rig out of the mud.
"JACKIE" SWEEK HURT.
W. E. Moore was a business visitor
in the city last Thursday from Pen
dleton. He reported an unfortunate
accident recently to Jackie Sweek
who was hit by a car when riding
his bicycle across a bridge in Pen
dleton. The former Heppner boy,
son of Judge and Mrs. C. L. Sweek,
received quite painful injuries. The
car did not stop to give assistance,
and he was forced to lie for some
time before he was found and given
help.
