Music Festival Friday
On Friday, April 30, among the
other festivities of the day, the an
nual Music Festival will take place.
Every year the schools from dis
tricts surrounding Heppner come
here to enter into the contests, games
and other activities. The program in
the evening is for the purpose of
grouping these schools , together in
divisions and having them sing re
quired pieces. The festival this year
is under the direction of Miss Juan
ita Leathers, the local seventh grade
teacher. Miss Leathers and Mr.
Peavy, the high school chorus di
rector, have been drilling both chor
uses for several weeks. The festival
this year should prove to be one of
the largest and best ever held.

Heppner Wins Over Arlington
Heppner finished its home-game
schedule last Friday with a 5 to 3
victory over Arlington. The two
Mustang pitchers, Gilman and Van
Marter, held Arlington to 3 hits in
the nine-inning game.
As in their last game, Heppner's
big inning came in the second, Mun-
kers, Gilman and Coxen crashing out
three hits for the same number of
runs, the locals having made one in
the first inning. The Honkers were
held scoreless until the fourth inn
ing when an error, hit, a walk, and a
sacrifice brought in their first score.
They made one more run in the
sixth and another in the eighth.
Heppner's final tally came after a
single by Munkers was converted
into a run.
Gilman struck out twelve men in
six innings to bring his total to fifty
one in 29 innings, with Van Marter
fanning eight in three frames.
The outstanding play of the year
was witnessed in this game. An Ar
lington batter knocked a line drive,
that was doomed for a sure hit, just
over Riley Munqers' head. Mun
kers made a spectacular stab for the
ball, leaping several feet off the
ground, and came back to earth with
it held tightly in his glove.

Guess Who?
He's the boy in our high school
whom no girl could hate,
For he's driving a new Ford V-8.
They couldn't hate him anyhow,
But the Ford is the big attraction
now.
This boy is a member of the F. F. A.,
A likeable kid in every way.
If his initials you wish to know,
To R. G. you will have to go.

Open House Held Last Friday
On Friday, April 23, the annual
Open House for parents was held at
the Heppner school and gymnasium.
The various class rooms, containing
exhibits, were open for inspection
from 7:00 to 8:00. At 8:00 an enter
tainment was held in the gym, con
sisting of grade school numbers, a
style show, number by the uarter, a
demonstration by the F. F. A., and
several band selections. After the
program the school house was again
opened for those who did not have
the opportunity to go through it be
fore 8:00. A large crowd turned out
which filled all the seats in the gym
nasium-auditorium and found many
with only standing room.

Happy Days Are Here Again
Three more weeks and one more
day, and we'll be out of school la,
la. la! Yes, sir, our vacation is slow
ly creeping up on us, and most of
the students are yawning over their
books leisurely waiting for it to ar
rive. However, those yawns will
freeze on their faces when semester
tests come sliding up and catch them
off guard. It might be a good idea
if we stretched a little and really
began to study, or our semester
grades will be "gone with the wind"
we blew out in those yawns.

PINTO-POINTS
The local track team should be
highly commended for their showing
in the six-way meet held at Pendle
ton last Saturday. Only two men,
King and Gilman, placed in any of
the events, with Heppner taking
three second places and the same
number of third positions, for a to
tal of 18 V2 points. This meet was
in competition with four class "A"
schools, Arlington being the only
team besides Heppner in the "B"
bracket.
Most of the track team is com
posed of members who also are on
the baseball roster, and the result is
that they do not get the training that
the track regulars receive. Were
these baseball-track boys placed
under a stiff track routine, they
would provide tough competition for
any high school tracksters,
Norton King, Heppner sprint man,
after getting off to a slow start in
the century dash, put on a burst of
speed, and showed his competitors
something abiut the art of cinder
pathing, finishing in second position.
In the pole-vault, Gilman tied with
Fist of Mac-Hi, always a Heppner
basketball favorite, at 10 feet
inches. King placed second in the
broad jump, with Gilman finishing
second in the javelin, and third in
the high hurdles, and the relay team
winding up in third position.
Those ot you who read the re
sults of high school track meets held
in western Oregon and southern
Washington, you will find that the
track men of eastern Oregon com
pare very favorably with the cin-der-pathers
of the other sections of
the state. In fact, a select group of
eastern Oregon tracksters competing
against the same of the opposite
section of the state would really
make a track meet, with the out
come a toss-up.
