Baseball Practice Started
Tuesday night saw the Heppner
high school baseball team again out
on the field to start another big sea
son. There are many of the veter
ans back from last year, among them
being La Verne Van Marter at first
base, Len Gilman as pitcher, Riley
Munkers at short stop, Charles Cox
and Joe Aiken in the outfield. Willie
Stone, a sophomore who failed to
turn out last year, is working hard
to take the catching position which
was left vacant due to the gradua
tion of Howard Bryant. There are
several others who are working hard
for positions on the team. Most of
the first week will include getting
the arms loosened up and batting
practice. Harder work will follow
next week. In the past two years
Heppner has played thirteen games
and lost but one. This is a very
good record, consideringt that there
had been no baseball team for sev
eral years previous to 1935. They
hope to have as good a record this
year as they have had the past two,
and with support from the town peo
ple and the student body they will
have.
There are also several fellows
turning out for the track team, with
two track men, Norton King and
Len Gilman, back from last year.
They and several of the others have
already started the strenuous task
of getting into shape for the com
ing track meets.

Did anyone happen to notice
The romantic mood of Clayton
Wright at the show Saturday night?
(Cupid sure hit him.)
That spring is just around the
corner of the building? (It must be
a round building.)
The side show at the Green resi
dence? (Featuring knobs.)

"Ag" Class Surveying Tennis Courts
The Agricultural classes are sur
veying and drawing contour maps of
the piece of ground south of the gym.
It is necessary that the ground be
leveled before construction can be
started on the tennis courts.
The freshman agricultural cla'ss is
working on its project books so as
to have them in order before their
chicks arrive the latter part of the
week.
The F. F. A. is preparing for the
scetional contest at Condon, which
will be held March 26.
Now that spring is here, the class
will be taking many field trips. Live
stock judging will be the main issue
taken up.
As forty per cent of the agricul
ture boys have to participate in
Home Beautification, 654 trees have
been sent for.

Girls' League Party
On Friday, March 12, from seven
thirty to ten-thirty, the Girls' league
entertained the student body with
a dance. The music was provided
by Marjorie Parker, Norton King,
Gerald Cason and Buddy Blakely.
During intermission the high school
mixed quartet gave two musical
numbers. Refreshments were served.
The gymnasium was effectively
decorated with green and white
streamers, and dimly lighted by
lamps in forms of shamrocks. -A
large group attended, including
teachers, students, and several mem
bers of the alumnae.

Band Concert Saturday Afternoon
The band will appear on Main
street Saturday at 2 o'clock. Sev
eral marches will be played. The
band has taken every spare minute
for practice in hope of winning high
recognition at Corvallis. With the
cooperation of the band students
and the student body their chances
for. success are excellent.

Brain Buster
A Mathematician in Service
Mr. Watson kept his liquor on re
volving shelves in his cellar. On
one of the shelves where he kept his
favorite champagne there were sev
enty-two bottles arranged in eight
compartments, nine bottles in each,
Distrusting the servants in his
home, he would descend to the cellar
each night before going to bed and
count the bottles on each shelf. Not
bothering to note the number of
bottles in each compartment, he
would merely count the totals along
each side. He thus counted twenty
seven each way on the champagne
shelf.
A crafty servant worked out a
way of deceiving his master and
making some money on the outside
by stealing champagne. He took
four bottles and rearranged the re
mainder so that his employer would
still count twenty-seven each way.
How did he rearrange the bottles
and for how many nights could he
continue to take four bottles each
time befpre his formula ran out?
The answer to last week's Brain
Buster is that the night watchman
had told the vice-president that he
had a dream the night before, and
night watchmen are supposed to be
awake at night.
H.H.S.
Personality
Harold W. Buhman, principal of
the Heppner grade school, was
brought up in Canby, Oregon. He
went to grade school and high school
at Canby. Graduating from the
Canby high school he finished at
Oregon State normal. He has at
tended summer school both at the
University of Oregon and the Uni
versity of Washington. He taught
at Drain, Oregon, before coming to
Heppner where he has held the po
sition of grade school principal for
six years.

PINTO-POINTS
From all reports, the Heppner
grade school basketball quintet
showed the teams at Arlington a
few tricks about basketball. They
won their three games with com
parative ease, the closest being the
18-16 win over Rufus; but in this
game most of the opponent's scoring
was piled up against the local's subs.
The trophy awarded them was the
first they have had the honor of
winning, ad naturally their proud
ness stands out. They are a young
group of basketeers whose ventures
in high school basketball should be
of great success.
An interesting feature of the all
star selection was the fact that a
Heppner boy made the team, al
though he made only one basket
during the three games in which he
and his teammates participated. This
proves that high-point men are not
always the only outstanding hoop
sters. Feed him the ball, and any
player will run up a score, but a
two-point in three-games man must
show signs of being a basketballer,
and evidently the all-star selectors
thought that of Harry O'Donnell.
Above grade school basketball
comes high school, and there'll be
plenty of it at Salem the latter part
of this week. It's a tough proposi
tion, that of picking the state champ,
with Astoria, Eugene, Mac-Hi, Mc-
Minnville, La Grande and Franklin
of Portland all gunning for the title.
Astoria, whose trip to Salem this
year makes it their 15th in 17 years
and their eleventh straight, looks to
be the best bet, but if Mac Hi gets
over La Grande in her first game,
the Pioneers will make it tough for
any teams standing in the way of
the state title. Don't forget McMinn
ville! Next comes the college casabers.
The northern division championship
is at stake next Saturday when Ore
gon takes on Washington State at
Pullman, and with those two quints
fighting for such a title, the game
promises to be a rough one. It's a
promise that the referee will excuse
someone from the game, and the first
team to lose a player via the foul
route will end' up in the second
notch of the northern division.
The reason for Washington unsuc
cessfully defending her title this
year, at least one of them, is one
that even this writer can solve; so
its depth doesn't go very far. The
University of Washington has a team
of individualists; a team that placed
three men on the northern division
all-star; a team that would end up in
third place. Coach Edmundson will
no doubt put forth his best efforts
to obtain a five-man team for the
next season.
If scholastc difficulties and the
moving problem had not confronted
them, Lexington high would have
had a more successful basketball
season, so stated the Lexington ath
letic manager through conversation
with him. Bill Burchell and Keith
Gentry both moved to other sections
of the state, and La Verne Wright
left school. With Wright and Gen
try as forwards; Palmer, center; and
Peck and Burchell holding down the
guard positions, this "wished-for"
Lexington team could give any of
the surrounding teams a good run
for their money.
With next week's edition comes the
last installment of basketball, so
bear with me till next week, at which
time the ending episode will be giv
en. It s a promise!

Do You Know That
Tests on 14,844 Minneapolis school
students revealed that the flat-
chested ones were more intelligent
than the full-chested? The flat
chested were also usually heavier,
taller, and less prone to tubercu
losis. Wood ticks the kind you find on
your dog can live for three or four
years without food?
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.)
Social leaders of America receive
more than a million dollars a year
for advertising testimonials? The
Vanderbilt name brings the highest
price.
Bears and moose are increasing in
numbers instead of decreasing as is
commonly supposed? Officials take
the bear census by studying tracks
at the edge of salmon streams and
learning to know each bear's foot
prints. Scientists have revived animals
suffering from electric shock by giv
ing them a counter-shock?
Southern engineers are now using
cotton in road building?
A University of Kentucky basket
ball player scored thirty-four points
in thirty-four minutes against
Creighton last year?
