Safety First
As the discussion of current tonics
progressed during a history class last
Monday, the instructor made the fol
lowing statement as he looked out the
window at the curve in the state high
way, adjacent to the school buildmx:
"When I see a car come around that
corner at breakneck speed, it almost
makes me leap for safety. Somedav,
there's going to be a fence around that
curve.
But why wait until damage liati been
done? . Why wait until the joyful life
of a youngster has been snatched away?
Why wait until the community is forced
10 grieve tne loss or one or a rew or ltsi
young folk?
An accident or a death will bring re
sults, but it is needless to wait for
such a happening. Surely someone has
tne toresight to see the dangerous pos
sibilities of this location; the desire tor
protection of their children; the urge
10 penorm an act tnat win bring due
credit to the person who holds interest
ior tne saiety of others.
Note: Since penning the above ar
tide we find that the engineer in
charge or the eastern Oregon division
of the state highway department prom
ised our school authorities some time
ago that he would recommend the con
struction of this fence and that it will
be done as soon as possible.

Buying a Ticket Not Sufficient
Some people reason that if they buy
a ticket to a game or play, that they
have done their duty. They have helped
financially but have they made the per
formance a success? It is the seats
being filled that make a success, so
everyone is urged to buy a ticket to
the junior play, and everyone who buys
a ticket is doubly urged to come and
get your money's worth.

The Band Marches On
The band is now getting down to
reai ousiness. Mr. Gunman directed
sectional practices every morning at
eignt last week. He Dlans to hold see
tional practices from now un until the
Dand contest. Even if the basketball
boys had tough luck during their sea
son, the band has vowed that they will
not let the school down when they go
to the state contest.
The band is scheduled to play street
contests this spring. These concerts
will go a long way to finance the Cor
vallis trip.
The band won first place last year
at the contest and even though there is
to be a rating of bands instead of a
first place winner this year the Hepp
ner band is intent on receiving the high
est rating. Let's give our entire sup
port to the band again this year. You
can do this by attending the annual
band dance held in the Elks hall every
year in April and by talking it up.

Has-Been's Defeat Will-Be's
The Heppner high school boys start
ed inter-class basketball last week.
The defending champions, the seniors,
defeated all opponents to win the cham
pionship this year by very one-sided
scores.
In the first game the seniors trounced
the freshmen by a score of 59-7. The
seniors coasted along in the last half.
The second game the sophomores
(who promised to be the challengers to
the championship) white-washed the
junior team by a score of 29-2.
The two losers, the freshmen and the
juniors, played the closest game of the
week. The juniors won by a score of
29-18, their last half rally cinching the
game for them.
In the final game between the de
fending champions, the seniors, and the
challengers, the sophomores, the seniors
again showed their superiority in bas
ketball by a score of 63-23.

Answer to last week's Son of the
nun.
Mr. McCleod, vice president of a large
New York bank, was obliged to go to
Chicago to deliver an important batch
of papers which could not be intrusted
to a messenger. Arranging to take the
sleeper at midnight, he left the papers
in the vault at his bank until he was
ready to leave. Before he went to the
train, he called at the bank, where he
was met by the night watchman. Mr.
McCleod explained his mission to him.
He, McCleod, arranged his papers in his
brief case and was about to depart when
the watchman addressed him. He said,
"I don't think you ought to go to Chi
cago, sir. Last night I dreamed that
you were called to Chicago, and half
way there your train was killed, and
you were killed." Mr. McCleod did not
heed the watchman's words and boarded
the train. He arrived in Chicago, and
as soon as he arose from his berth, he
went to a telegraph office and tele
graphed back to the president of the
bank in New York: "Fire the night
watchman."
Why did he order him fired?

PINTO-POINTS
Athena, District 13 representative at
Salem, is one mighty sweet ball club.
as all of those who saw the champions
play will surely agree . . . Hermiston
couldn't have stopped the Athena Glad
iators with a bull-dozer, pick, and shov
el, let alone five men. Although the
majority of the spectators were rootine
for Hermiston as the starting whistle
blew, the tide changed when Athena's
expert ball-handlers ran up a command
ing lead; and as the timer tooted the
final blast, a tremendous ovation was
accorded the fighting victors.
An "error" in recognizing a player
was made in the selection of the all
star team. Perhaps the fact that he
was a sophomore eliminated him, but
being a member of the victorious team,
you tournament visitors surely could
not have overlooked him. He was known
as one of the Jones boys. Always in
there playing ball, his knack of inter
cepting out-of-bound passes was un
canny; in addition he was the best
feinter on the floor. To me, he seemed
the most eye-catching of all tournament
players. A serious player, his steady
and sure tactics stamped him as an
outstanding hoopster; but despite these
factors, he was the victim of oversight.

the place of an all-star on the winning
tournament team from this sub-district.
A surprising element of the selection
of the all-star team was the fact that
Hermiston, the runner-up, placed only
one. After deep concentration, the Bull
dogs, with the exception of Keller, had
no outstanding players. Rankin was
decidedly off, but it is doubtful that he
would have made the grade anyway.
Speaking of all-stars, there's one in
cident which happened at Arlington
that must not go unnoticed. Murray,
an all-star from Grant Union was
dribbling in very fast on a solo dash
for a set-up. Wetherell of Arlington
attempted to take the ball away from
him as he dribbled; but being unsuc
cessful in that try, he tried to block
the shot as he flipped the ball up
against the backboard, but he was
foiled again. There was no stopping
Murray, and swish two points. As an
added attraction, it was a right-handed
shot from the port side.
Give credit where credit is due, and
Hermiston and Grant Union should re
ceive plenty of it. Hermiston had no
basketball team last year, but this sea
son, after dedicating a new gymnasium,
tney won tneir sub-district tournament,
and reached the finals of the district
John Day and Canyon City merged
their schools into the Grant Union high
school and turned out a cracker-jack
team. Our hats off to you, Grant Union
and Hermiston!
The hard -luck team of the tourna
ment, Wapinitia. They ran up against
Atnena in tneir lirst and last game,
losing by only one point. But watch
them next year; they have their full
lirst string returning lor the next pas
ketball season.
The basketball togs have been stowed
away among the moth-balls as far as
Heppner is concerned, but the state
meet at Salem is yet to come, so don't
let the casaba boys slip your mind.
To those of you who have heard the
comments on the defeat of a local ath
lete in the smoker held at lone last
Friday night, worry not, as the condi
tions of the match were that the lone
lad would take on the Heppner boy for
one round; and if he didn't get hurt
too badly, he would take him on for a
second heat. The two boys had a pri
vate confab between themselves before
the fight, so, well . . . and it perhaps
would be for the better to keep antag
onistic ideas to ourselves as the con
flict with our 17-mile neighbor has not
been exactly of conciliatory terms.
