The Civics class, under the super
vision of Miss Fishel, visited the
court house last Thursday afternoon.
They were invited by Mr. Notson to
attend a state public service com
mission meeting which was being
held at that time.
The Heppner high school baseball
team was shut out by the Lexington
nine last Friday afternoon by a score
of 12-0. Ralph Jackson umpired.
The fifth and sixth erades have
been writing to school children in
the southern states for descriptions
of their states. Samples of tobacco
and cotton, newspapers, magazines,
and postcards have been received
from New Mexico, Florida, North
Carolina, and Georgia.

Personality
Norbert E. Peavy was born at Cor
vallis in 1910, where he graduated
from high school. He attended Ore
gon State college, receiving his Bach
elor of Science degree in 1932 and the
following year the Master of Science
degree. He spent two years teach
ing Euglish and music at Halfway,
Oregon, before coming to teach Eng
lish, public speaking, and music in
Heppner high school.

Smoker, Heppner vs. Hermiston.
The "H" club is very low on funds
and in order to buy letters for the
athletes, they decided to entertain
the public with a good card of box
ing and wrestling. Hermiston has
consented to indulge in glove throw
ing with the Mustangs, and it is like
ly that several fast bouts will re
sult. There will be six bouts of three
2-minute rounds, the weights rang
ing from 115 to 175 pounds.
As the main event of the evening,
a "Masked Marvel" has consented
to fight the "Red Shadow" to a fin
ish. This promises to be a very wild
and rough affair, so it is almost cer
tain that everyone will be pleased.
Let's have a full house and help
the "ff club. The admission will be
25c for adults and 15c for students.

Track Difficult Sport
Every spring, after the heavy snow
has gone, the track season starts.
This is also the time when one feels
an urge to answer nature's call.
As one already knows, track is one
of the athlete's hardest sports. One
has to train in order to be prepared
for the coming events. It makes no
difference whether he runs or
jumps. If an athlete weathers the
numerous practice sessions, he is, or
should be, in the pink of condition
when real competition starts.
Since the dawn of civilization,
man has prided himself on his abil
ity to do great things. The Greeks
were a healthy race and prided
themselves on their athletic ability.
As a result we have the many events
that they originated. These events
were known as the Greek Olympic
Games, but today they are entered
by most of the important countries
of the world and are now called the
World's Olympic Games.

Heppner Registers Win
After journeying to Arlington last
Tuesday to play the Honkers Hepp
ner returned home with a 4 to 3
victory resting on their shoulders,
their first of the season (technically
speaking) since they forfeited the
game they won from Umatilla by
using an ineligible player when the
catcher failed to put in his appear
ance. The Mustangs started the scoring
with a run in the first inning, and
after scoring two more in the sixth.
Arlington, in their half of the same
inning, capitalized on a break and
scored three tallies. Heppner put
another score across in the ninth,
defeating Arlington by a one-run
margin.

Brain Buster
Answer to last week's puzzle: He
was color blind and was rejected by
the army. The day following March
16 is March 17, St. Patrick's day. His
infuriated compatriots beat him up
because he was waving a communist
flag which he thought was green.
Help! Help!
An unlikely bathroom has only
one door which has a spring lock
that cannot be opened from the in
side when sprung. There is a barred
skylight that cannot be reached, and
the room has no window. A man
(not over bright) turns on the water
to take a bath, finds that something
had gone wrong with the faucets and
he cannot turn the water off. If he
yells, no one can hear him because
of sound-proof walls.
How can he keep from drowning?

Girls' League Assembly Program
The Girls' league gave a program
for the enjoyment of the assembly
Friday afternoon, April 8. They are
giving another program Friday, April
16th.
The F. F. A. will hold its regular
meeting on April 14 after school.
They have been giving away trees
to the members for home improve
ment. At present the members are
working on their project books.

Guess Who?
She's a junior;
She's clever;
She's nice;
If you wish to guess her name,
Think twice.
She's blonde;
She's comely;
She's very neat;
She's the type of girl that is hard
to beat.
She can sing;
She can dance;
She can play;
Her initials are H. H., I would say.
H.H.S.
Did You Know That
It is almost impossible to say too
little?
If all the college men who sleep
in class were put end to end, they
would be much more comfortable?
While the modern college man is
getting a liberal education, his dad
is getting an education in liberality?

PINTO-POINTS
Sports fans of HeDDner will be
provided with a double-header of
sports this Friday, when Hermiston
comes over here to take on the local
high school baseball team in the af
ternoon and the pugilists of the Mus
tang institute of learning in the eve
ning. Sponsored by the "H" club.
there will be 18 rounds of boxing,
and as no smoker is complete with
out the muscle-benders, in a special
event the "Masked Marvel" will
meet the "Red Shadow." A half-
hour time limit has been placed on
this bout.
The local athletic teams are even
up with the Arlington sportsters, di
viding a home-and-home football
series, and winning in baseball, but
losing in basketball. HeDDner has
a perfect record as far as its games
are concerned, but not in the leaeue
standings, as it forfeited its first
game to Umatilla, after winning the
game, but through the use of two
ineligible players. Riley Munkers
tied Arlington s score, crossing hnmo
plate three times himself, Stone mak
ing the other tally.
Round and about ... A fellow
named La Verne Van Marter has
joined the ranks of the unofficial
world's champions, claiming his eli
gibility to this "club" by virtue of
his running the 440-yard dash in the
smashing time of 47 seconds, knt
lacking witnesses and the proper
omciais, all his efforts were in vain.
As he. held the stop watch in his
hands during this race against time,
the continual juggling received by
the time piece no doubt had a little
bit, mind you, I say a little bit. to do
with the astounding results of this
feat. The captain of the University
of Washington track team performed
an iron-man stunt the other day in a
track meet against Stanford univer
sity; after coming in last in the mile
run, he brought forth all his reserve
energy for the two-mile race and
finished in first position. An effort
is being made to revive the boxing
game in Portland, the American Le
gion having hired Steve McPherson
as promoter. McPherson also han
dles the wrestling at the civic audi
torium, and because of his success
with the grunt and groaners, he was
given a second promoting position.
He has a real job ahead of him, as
boxing is as dead in the Rose City as
were all form of sports in this city
about two years ago . . . several of
the band boys took in the Oregon
Oregon State boxing and wrestling
championships during their two-day
sojourn in Corvallis . . . some of the
bouts provided real entertainment,
If Gilman keeps up his strike-out
average he will wind up the season
with some kind of a record on his
hands, having fanned 28 players in
two games.

Heppner Alumni in New York
Among the many people in New
York are a few of Heppner's gradu
ates who were prominent in school
activities a few years ago.
Ellis Thomson is now taking a
business course, so he will be able
to do secretarial work. He was
studying art, and by all reports re
ceived, he was doing well. He is
planning to take up Art later.
Mrs. Gordon Ridings, nee Mar
jorie Clark, is teaching in Riverside
kindergarten, and is working for her
M. A. degree at Columbia university
in New York.
Mrs. David Moser, nee Margaret
Notson, who graduated from Willam
ette university, is now private sec
retary to the head of the legal de-
gal department of Stone & Webster.
Orrin Bisbee, who graduated from
Stanford university, formerly resid
ed in New York while working for
the Standard Oil company, but as
he did not like New York City, he
was transferred again to San Fran
cisco, and is now in Avenal, Cali
fornia doing field work for the big
oil company.

Humor
Have you ever
Seen R. G. and F; H. flower pick
ing? (In spring a young man's
fancies . . . .)
Watched a band member demon
strate the technique used by college
students in Corvallis? (Some mem
bers of the band did more than just
help win a contest.)
Wondered why B. H. and L. C.
were put on the panel discussion for
Thursday?
Heard of a nitwit or a nuthatch?
Wondered why a few baseball fans
didn't get to go to Arlington?
Seen Joe Aiken's new spring out
fit? Found how hard it is to get cur
rent events units in on time?
Seen Billy I. talking to a blond
sophomore girl in the hall?
Heard M. P. and C. C. discussing
the merits of the Ford?
H.H.S.
The Band Repeats
We must give a heary cheer to the
Heppner band's fine showing at
Corvallis where it walked away with
high honors in its class. The broad
cast over the radio was very credit
able. Many Heppner people listened
to the band and were greatly pleased
by their performance.
Mr. Buhman and all the members
are to be highly commended, and
special credit should go to Hugh
Crawford for his fine performance,
which won him first place in the
baritbne solo contest.
Soil Saving Program to
Increase Farm Returns
Condon Participation in the pro
gram of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice is expected to mean the differ
ence between the increased valua
tion of Scott Brown's 2486 acre stock
ranch near Condon and its inevitable
eventual abandonment due to ero
sion and overgrazing. In addition,
Brown is convinced, that the prac
tices involved will pay for themselves
within the next five years.
Brown has divided the ranch into
three units and started a deferred
and rotational grazing program, made
possible by the development of five
springs. Forty acres of the upland
cultivated area have been seeded to
crested wheat grass and the rest will
be fallowed and seeded to rye on al
ternate years, and eventually plant
ed to grass. He is also planning to
reseed 200 acres already abandoned.
Several rock and wire dams are to
be constructed in a large gully 30
to 50 feet wide and 15 feet deep in
places to protect the bottom land
and farmstead from complete de
struction. The dams will collect
silt, raise the water table, furnish
irrigation water, protect spring de
velopment and provide tree planting
sites.
