Junior Class Triumphs
Heppner high's crack sports an
nouncer, that cute little blond fel
low you see (and frequently hear)
around town, gives this version of
the junior class play, "Crashing So
ciety": "The Public comes into the game
with plenty of strength. There are
Gilman, Munkers and Bryant to
gether, talking things over. The Ju
niors are a trifle nervous, but game
to the last dish of what is libelously
called combination salad. The Ref.,
Mr. Inadequate Equipment, has al
ways favored the home team, the
Public, and is expected to today.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the
curtain is tossed in, or rather drawn
back, by Manager Don Turner, a
winsome little fence buster, or third
act side splitter, in his day, but now
giving way to make room for young
er blood. The Public, and the Ref.
hold up well in the opening minutesl
of the game, but are cracking under
the terrific force of the Junior bat
teries, and allow 75 laughs in the
first act. The Juniors withdraw for
instructions, but are with us again
immediately; and the second act
starts with a regularly spaced series
of laughs. The Juniors seem to be
easing the pressure a bit but still
have the situation well in hand. A
total of 70 laughs are chalked up in
this the second act. The Juniorsl
are now reasonably confident of
coming off victors. The third act
starts slowly, but with a precision
and an increasing tempo that ban
ishes the thought that the Public is'
tightening down and leads one to
believe that things are going to be
happening soon. And things are
happening, folks; the Public is un
able to check this volume of base
hits, line drives, and occasional home
runs that set them roaring and
threatened to split their sides. The
act ends with the bases loaded and)
Van Marter smashing, or rather
booting the whole business in in a
gale of laughter.
In retrospect, may we give, you a
few of the statistics of the day. The
Juniors showed all the way through
. the wonderful work of their coach,
Mr. Peavy, and have won lasting
renown in these parts. There was
an average of 75 laughs per act for
a total of 221 laughs. Van Marter
and Wright were high point men for
the Juniors, followed closely by Mc
Murdo and Bergevin. All the cast
had exceptionally high batting av
erages. The line up ' was as fol
lows: La Verne Van Marter, Mr.
Van Dunnigan; Maxine McCurdy,
Mrs. Van Dunnigan; Scott McMurdo,
George Van Dunnigan; Harriet Ha
ger, Marguerite Van Dunnigan; Bet
ty Bergevin, Christabel Van Dun
nigan; Vernon Knowles, Mr. Van
Witherspoon; Ruth Green, Mrs. Van
Witherspoon; Jackson Gilliam, Cyril
Van Witherspoon; Clayton Wright,
Scruples-Scruples (butler); Irena
McFerrin, reporter; Gladys Case
been, tutor; Arlene Morton, virtuo
so. The field wa? rather wet after a
recent shower but the play was not
seriously damaged and was a great
success. Come again to the next
entertainment, and we trust you
will find it the most for your money
that can possibly be obtained.
This broadcast is sponsored by
"Free Air," found at all filling sta
tions in this country and Canada.
Good night, folks."

Smoker at Hcrmiston Soon
In the near future Heppner "H"
club is helping to sponsor a smoker,
probably to be held at Hermiston this
year and at Heppner next year.
As this is an inter-school smoker,
it should be good. The townspeople
are urged to attend and have an
evening of real entertainment.
If the smoker is held at Hermis
ton, there will probably be a base
ball game in the afternoon.

Band Plays in Afternoon
The band made an appearance on
Main street Saturday afternoon,
which turned out to be quite suc
cessful in spite of the cold weather.
The band will be ready to give an
other street concert a week from
Saturday. It will also be a good idea
to keep in mind April 3, which is
the date set for the annual band
dance. The support of every person
will be greatly appreciated by the
band members.

Sectional Meet at Condon Friday
All the members of the locol F. F.
A. chapter are preparing for the sec
tional meet to be held at Condon

contest will be public speaking, par
liamentary procedure, grain judg
ing, horseshoe pitching, milk test
ing, leather splicing, soldering, rope
work, nail driving, rafter cutting,
and chicken culling. The local or
ganization will have a good chance
of winning most of these contests,
for much time has been spent in
training for this meet.
Junior Play Given Friday

Society," which was presented in the
gym-auditorium Friday, March 19,
was a grand success. It was well
supported by the general public, and
everyone who attended thought it
was well worth his time and effort.
An afternoon performance was given
also for students who were unable
to attend at night.
The junior clas gives all their
thanks to Mr. Peavy for doing such
exceptional work in preparing the
cast.

Brain Buster.
In a strange kingdom (very stranee
it must have been) there was a con
viction that all nobles tell the truth
and that all slaves lie. Once three
men, all dressed alike, appeared be
fore the king. The first one mum
bled something. The king said to
the second man,. "What did he say?"
The second man said, "He says he's
a slave."
The king then said to the third,
"What is the second man?"
The third said, "The second man
is a prince."
Were there two nobles and one
slave or two slaves and one noble?
Answer to last week's brain bust
er:
The first night the butler, after
taking out four bottles, rearranged
the remainder thus:
10 7 10
7 7
10 7 10
He did this for four nights. The
three following nights he used these
combinations:
11 5 11 12 3 12 13 1 13
5 5 3 3 1
11 5 11 12 3 12 13 1 13

Guess Who?
This week we pick upon a bov
Who's short and dark and not too
handsome.
But he is one girl's pride and iov.
We heard she thinks he's "just too
sweet.
He plays catcher on the baseball
team
And answers to the name of Pete.

Personality
Miss Elta Dale was born on a
wheat ranch near Helix, Oregon. She
moved to Pendleton with her par
ents, where she attended grade and
high school. At the beginning of
her junior year she returned to He
lix where she remained until she
graduated the next year from Gris
wold Union high school in Helix.
She attended Whitman college at
Walla Walla for one year and trans
ferred to the Eastern Oregon Nor
mal school . at La Grande. She
taught in the McKay school in Uma
tilla county previous to coming to
Heppner, where she has been teach
ing the firth grade for three years.
Miss Dale attended summer school
at the University of Oregon.

Mr. Tetz: "In which of his battles
was Alexander the Great killed?"
Joe Aiken: "I think it was his
last."
PINTO-POINTS
For the first time in the history
of Oregon state basketball, a "B"
team, which is one of our kind, won
the state championship. The cham
pion, Bellfountain, has 19 masculine
representatives in its enrollment,
and to the feminine side of their
school, they are more heroic than
the Knights of the Round Table
could ever have been. The team
spoken of as from somewhere in
Benton county won four tournament
games, defeating 2 "B" teams, Amity
and Chiloquin, and 2 "A" teams,
Franklin and Lincoln of .Portland,
all by decisive margins. This "giant
killer" team, which was the favorite
to retain the state "B" title, was not
conceded as good a chance to take
the "A" and state championship, but
after defeating Franklin, their op
posing semi-finalist, 39 to 13, all bet
tors shifted to Bellfountain, giving
Lincoln a chance, but a slim one,
against them in the championship
fray. That slim chance vanished
when Bellfountain started hitting
the basket as rain does a rain-barrel.
In the semi-finals," Mac-Hi had
the misfortune of running up
against Franklin, also their opponent
in the same bracket at last year's
tournament." Mac-Hi was off, and
Franklin was on; the result, as far
as state rankings were concerned,
the Franklinites wound up in third
place, and the Pioneers finished in
sixth position.
To "Jiggs" Fisk of McLaughlin
went the most valuable player
award, one of the highest distinc
tions a high school player can
achieve; a fitting finish to ' such an
outstanding basketball career as his.
The 15-year-old sophomore from
Athena, Don Jones, made tourna
ment critics sit up and take notice.
He was the star in the Astoria game,
making 13 points, and any player
that can pile up 13 points against the
high-scoring Fishermen has to be
good. He received honorable men
tion on both the "B" al-state and the
all-state team, the latter including
both divisions.
Why not pit the Washington state
high school champion against Ore
gon s same? Walla Walla, the cross
river title holder, would probably
have no better chance against Bell
fountain than would Midget Wolgast
against Primo Camera. The results
of recent inter-state ; competition
divulges the above comparison. Mac
Hi, during the season, defeated Wal
la Walla two times, not by large mar
gins, but beat them just the same;
and how did Mac-Hi come out in
the recent state tournament? They
reached the semi-finals, but at this
juncture, Lincoln handed them their
first tournament defeat, and Frank
lin did the same in the consolation!
game; so with two wins, they came
out with a .500 average. And' Mac
Hi's chances against Bellfountain,
well ... they would hardly havle
one. ,
Walla Walla's luck, figuratively
speaking, if pitted against the Ore
gon champion, would be just as
worthless. The Pioneers edged out
Wa-Hi by 2 tallies; Lincoln of Port
land took the Pioneer, beating them
5 points; and then Bellfountain
socked Lincoln by 14 counters. So
that makes Bellfountain Walla Wal
la's superior by 21 points. Put it
anyway you like, but it still spells
Bellfountain.
Washington State won the north
ern division title, and how! How?
By putting that round ball through
the hoop for 17 more points than did
Oregon. In the first quarter, it
looked as if Oregon was going to
have something to write home about,
but the Cougars soon hit their stride;
and from there on, the Oregon lads
were practically useless. But the
Webfoots have some consolation in
their defeat, as they lose only one
regular and two reserves through
graduation this spring; so Oregon
has a northern division title in store
for them within the next two years,
if they make it a goal.
Random shots ... a new rule book
comes out next season with some
thing more added than just a new
cover . . . college center-jump is
eliminated . . . first team to score
two points in overtime period wins
the game, and overtime periods are
limited to two. Prep teams will be
permitted five "time-outs" each half.
A home -and -home yearly smoker
between Heppner and Hermiston is
in the making . . . the recent rains
make the water problem for swim
ming tank less serious. California
critics pick Stanford to take Wash
ington State after a tough battle.
Reports have it that with the next
school year, two new coaches are due
to put out athletic teams at lone and
Boardman . . . wouldn't be a bad
idea to let the present coaches at
their schools exchange positions.
