Brain Buster
A man wearing a black tie went
into a cheap restaurant and asked
for a plate of pork and beans, pie,
and coffee. When he had finished
his meal, he paid the cashier, an at
tractive young girl, who said,
"Thanks, Sailor."
How did she know that he was a
sailor?
Answer to last week's Brain Bust
er The friend whom Mr. Simpson
met was a woman whose name was
Margaret.

F. F. A. Trip
Last Thursday morning at 6:30
twelve Future Farmer boys left on a
trip for Corvallis to join 453 other
F. F. A. boys at the Future Farmers
convention. This was the ninth an
nual convention. The trip involved
approximately 1000 miles, taking in
territory from eastern Oregon to the
Pacific coast.
A large number of the students
had never seen the coast or any part
of the coast range, and this trip to
the coast Sunday made it interest
ing and educational to all mem
bers of the party. While on the
coast one group of boys started out
deep sea fishing, but the ocean was
too rought to get out of the bay. Af
ter making two attempts to get out
of the bay, the guide turned around
and took them back to the wharf.
Leaving Newport the group went
on up the coast, past Agate Beach,
up to the aquarium, where they saw
many different kinds of deep sea fish
After leaving Portland, they stopped
to inspect a'- dairy and then started
for Heppner, arriving about 12:30
Monday morning.

Ten Years Ago This Week
On May 5, 1927, the staff for the
Hehisch was: Editor, Joy Ervin, as
sistant, Mae Doherty; business man
ager, Kenneth Oviatt; girls' sports.
Mae Groshens; boys' sports, Gene
Doherty; social, Louise Thomson;
activities, John Conder; personals,
Reta Crawford; grades, Letha Hiatt;
jokes. Ellis Thomson.
The commercial teacher, Miss
Pearson, gave a talk to the stu
dents and explained to them the
typing awards that were given for
the first time in Heppner.
The junior class began acting very
suspiciously and such thoughts as:
"I hope it doesn't rain Wednesday"
are running through their minds.
Wonder what it could be?
The freshmen held their return
party that night, and everyone was
dressed in outlandish costumes, sim
ilar to the initiation.
One of the jokes in the humor
colmun, which seemed very prom
inent, was:
Miss Fishel: "You may leave the
room, Ellis Thomson."
Ellis: "Well, I wasn't thinking
seriously of taking it with me."

Humor
Do You Know
Who the love letter artist is in the
sophomore class? (Why, B. Barratt.)
Why more of the juniors spent
their time under the water at Bing
ham? Why the sophomores didn't skip
school Thursday? (Oh, that pen
alty!) Why Len G. and Clayton W. were
the only baseball players who went
to bed Friday night?
What Arlene Morton was doing up
Willow creek Friday, Saturday and
Sunday?
Who took Marie Healy home? (E.
W., did you have a car?)
Why L. A. went to the show alone,
Sunday night?
Have You Ever Wondered
Why there was a flat tire on Ar
lene Morton's car Monday morn
ing.'
Who is going to win the John
Crawford and Billy Barratt bet?
Why the girls' faces are red these
days? (Gould it be the sun whose
son?)
Who the cliff-dwellers are? What's
the matter with the new Ford?
Why the F. F. A. boys stopped at
the "other places" which Marvin
mentioned?
Why there is so much humor this
week?

show with H. H. Sunday afternoon?
Why Don Jones picks flowers or
wades in streams?.
Why Ruth Green stayed out so
late the night before the F. F. A.
boys left?
Whom Scott McMurdo was sitting
with in a car at Pendleton Thurs
day night?
Old books, old shoes,
Old friends; but folks
Don't always seem to like
Old jokes. (So there aren't any.)

Personality
Leonard Gilman was born at Top,
Oregon, in 1918. After living there
a year he moved with his folks to
California. After five eventful years
were spent there, he moved to Hepp
ner. Here he attended grade and
high school.
He takes a very active part in high
school affairs. He now holds the of
fice of vice-president of the student
body. He has been captain of the
football team for three years and of
the basketball team, two years. He
doesn't know definitely where he
will go for further schooling, but
says either to University of Oregon
or University of Washington.
H.H.S.
Class Activities
The senior class is planning a pic
nic for Sunday. .As this is the last
class picnic that will be held, they
are working hard to make it a suc
cess. The senior class received their an
nouncements last week. As usual
quite a number of them didn't know
just how many to order.
The American History class is
planning a discussion program con
cerning the mothers of famous men
in American history. Instead of talk
ing about their own mothers, they
can talk about the mothers of long
ago. It should be a very interesting
discussion.
Another Junior Flunk day is his
tory. Last Thursday the junior class
took it upon themselves to go to
Bingham springs. They wonder if
the weather was any better than it
was last year.
The Agriculture classes are plan
ning to study the determination of
the age of horses. They are also
going to study the ailments of horses.
H.H.S.
Guess Who?
This is a blue-eyed junior lad
With a sense of humor very rare.
It often keeps him from getting mad,
In spite of the fact he has red hair.
He's nicknamed for a movie star
The greatest lover of the age.
With such a namesake he should go
far '
Toward being what the girls term
"the rage."
If you can't guess who he is, I will
Tell you that his first name's Bill.
PINTO-POINTS
Another name has been added to
the list of ex-Heppner coaches, the
fifth in five years. That's too many,
indeed so, no matter how you look at
it; still the remarkable thing about
it is the success of each instructor's
athletic teams. We hate to see them
go but don't blame them for stepping
up.
Each coach has his own system of
instituting sports, whether it be foot
ball, basketball, baseball, or track,
and when a member of an athletic
squad has three or four coaches dur
ing his high school career, the out
come is noticeable on the individ
ual and the team as a whole. A team
member becomes fairly acquainted
with one coach's system, and the
following year he is greeted with
the news that he will see the face of
a new coach when school starts, all
of which means another routine to
learn, and it's no easy matter. Per
haps the fact that this school has
had so many coaches has something
to do with the backing given the
school sports teams by the towns
people, which is of meager propor
tions. In the past, most of the coaches
have left for other schools because
their new positions gave them a
more secure mode of living. If the
proper authorities could make it
worth a coach's time,, maybe one
could be persuaded to lengthen his
visit in Heppner for at least two
years. Were such an experiment
tried, the success of Mustang teams,
athletically and financially, would no
doubt be something to put in the
books, as yet not recorded.
Did you notice the sweet perfume
a la skunk at the county-get-to-gether-and-do-it-better
- than - the-other-fellow
meet the other day? At
least it wasn't very far from being
one, comparing Heppner's 160 points
to Irrigon's 31. The event 'which
takes such a long time to finish is
the baseball throw; each entry gets
three throws, and when each one has
tossd the ball his limited number of
times, a considerable length of time
has elapsed. With so many con
testants entered in this annual class
ic, it is quite a problem to keep the
events going and still keep the peo
ple interested. The question has
been asked of the why and where
fore of the small schools entering
the track meet, as they have no
more chance of winning it than
would the "Chicken Dutchman's"
nag of annexing the Grand National
Steelpechase. In the first place, the
rural institutes of learning haven't
as large entry lists as their big
brother schools, and in the second
place, the scoring basis doesn't do
justice to the little fellow. The way
it is now, the school scoring the
largest number of points wins the
meet. What chance has a school
with an enrollment of 20 against
one of 150? Practically none; in
fact, less than that. Another idea
advanced on the subject, and not a
bad one at that, is that of making!
Heppner host to the county track
meet, not an entry, just a host.
Perhaps next year's assembling of
the tracksters will see a change of
some form in the scoring system.
Corrall tips ... A new national
high school javelin record has been
established ... an Oklahoma lad
tossed the spear 211.23 feet. Many
of the track meet contestants who
would never think of blushing were
doing so Friday evening ... in a red
way. The public turn-out to the
track meet was very small . . . the
school would surely like to win the
favor of you townspeople towards
athletic events. La Grande and
Baker have the putting in of turf
fields as part of their summer work.
The gymnasium "bat-breakers" have
had a good season of it so far
lettermen will be given first choice
of all the new football outfits next
fall.
OSC to Have Sigma Xi Chapter
Corvallis. Formal installation of
an Oregon State chapter of Sigma
Xi, national honor fraternity in re
search, has been scheduled for May
12, when among other events ar
ranged will be a special convocation
open to the public. Dr. W. F. Du
rand of Stanford university, national
president of Sigma Xi, will give the
address. Another speaker at the in
stallation ceremonies will be Dr.
Linus Pauling, formerly of Portland,
an O. S. C. graduate now on the staff
of California Institute of Technology.
On the O. S. C. staff are now 88
men and women who are either act
ive or associate members of Sigma
Xi, one of the three recognized high
est ranking honor societies in the
country.
