H.H.S.
You Will be Sorry
You very often hear, especially the
lower classmen, state that they will
be glad when they are through
school. It is safe to say that prac
tically everyone has this feeling
when he enters high school; but
when the time comes around to grad
uate, he changes his mind.
Your high school life is what YOU
make it. You can make it one of
the most disagreeable parts of your
life, or you can make it one of the
most pleasant.
The lower classmen, especially
freshmen and sophomores, should
be encouraged to enter as many
school activities as possible. Not so
many that it would interfere with
their school work, but enough to give
them something to do besides just
school work. School work becomes
a drudge when there isn't enough
activity to take the student's mind
from his work part of the time.
When freshmen enter high school,
many of them think it is just an
other four years that they have to
spend before they can really have
any fun. This isn't true. You might
say that high school is a recreation
in which you get a great deal of ex
perience for later life.
For most of the graduating seniors
this year, although they may be glad
that school is out, they are sorry
that they are graduating. We can
safely say that that statement speaks
for the students that have already
graduated and for the ones who will
graduate in the future.
H.H.S.
Junior-Senior Banquet Saturday
The annual banquet given in honor
of the graduation class of Heppner
high school will be held Saturday
evening, May 15, at 6:30 o'clock
in the Elks Temple, together with
the junior-senior prom, which will
take place after the banquet at 9:00
o'clock.
This year the decoration plan is a
Dutch garden. Jackson Gilliam,
president of the junior class, will be
toastmaster. The speakers for the
evening are Dr. A. D. McMurdo,
chairman of the school board, Alden
H. Blankenship, superintendent of
the school; Henry A. Tetz, principal;
Lucy E. Rodgers, county superin
tendent; Ben Patterson, one of the
first graduates of Heppner high
school; Don Turner, president of the
student body, and Kathryn Parker,
president of the senior class. Kath
ryn Parker will present the key of
knowledge to the president of the
junior class.
Invitations to the junior prom
which follows the banquet have
been extended to schools of the
county, to parents of the juniors and
seniors and to special guests whom
students wished to invite.
H.H.S.
Vacation Time Nearing
It won't be long now. Just two
more weeks until our vacation will
begin. Some of the pupils have be
gun to review their work for the se
mester exams and find it isn't so
easy to do after sluffing through the
first four weeks. Let's get busy and
finish our work, so we will have
nothing to worry about during our
happy days of vacation.
H.H.S.
Baseball Team Finally Loses
In a stiff wind and blinding dust
storm the local Mustangs lost their
second game in three years and the
first this year, a very good record.
It seemed that the local boys just
couldn't get the ball, and they were
held to a few scattered hits. What
few hits Hermiston did get, they
cashed in on by getting them all at
once.
It is often that you see a team and
the umpire get in an argument, or
two teams in an argument; but it
isn't very often that you see two
umpires, that is, the base umpire and
the strike umpire, get into one. That
is exactly what happened at Hermis
ton. It all came about when a Her
miston man came home from third
on a hit ball. The base umpire
thought that the strike umpire
should call the home base, and there
the argument began. Perhaps the
umpires should read up on their
baseball and see just who should
call that base.
Another rather humorous incident
of the game came about when the
umpire called a balk on Gilman and
sent a man from first to second; then
a few minutes later he sent the same
man home on a balk, as he called it.
The question came up as to where
the rubber, that is supposed to be in
the pitcher's box, was. There was
nothing there but a hole in the
ground, and the umpire said that
was the box; but Len said that he
didn't know that was the rubber,
but thought that it was just a hole
in the ground. , Then what was it:
a rubber or a hole in the ground?
It's hard to say but it looked mighty
like a hole in the ground.
H.H.S.
Seniors Have Picnic
Last Sunday at 6 o'clock a. m. five
carloads of seniors and invited guests
left for Hidaway springs for an all
day picnic. One carload stopped at
Battle Mountain park for breakfast,
and another fished and had break
fast on Owens creek; but most of
the others waited until noon for eats,
when a big pot-luck dinner was
served.
The party enjoyed swimming,
horse-shoes, fishing, hiking, and
picture taking. Billy McCaleb es
pecially enjoyed getting pictures
with his moving picture camera
which will prove embarrassing to
several people if they are shown
before the assembly. The picnickers
were forced to return early because
of rain, but not before everybody
had had a lot of fun. For most of the
seniors the picnic was a fete which,
when thought of in later life, will
bring back pleasant memories.
H.H.S.
PINTO-POINTS
Perhaps, by rights, the first few
lines of this column should be de
voted to a subject pertaining direct
ly to athletics, but a matter of great
er concern has arisen, which is of
special concern to the eighth grade
and high school factions of this
school.
In the past, Heppner's record for
promoting their athletic coaches to
higher positions has been far above
the average "B" school, not meaning
of course that the name Heppner
alone gained them their promotions.
Proving no exception to this rule,
another name has been added to this
list, that of our present mentor.
In the last four years, the same
number of coaches have been on the
Mustang payroll, the names of Neil
Shuirman, George Mabee, Larry
Winter, and Alden Blankenship
adorning the roll of Heppner's past
athletic instructors for the past four
years. The first mentioned dropped
coaching from his list of activities,
but the next two are now carrying
on their work in our neighboring
Evergreen state, at Shumway Junior
high in Vancouver, and Aberdeen
high, respectively; and the last nam
ed is now the superintendent of the
local schools. To this register has
been inscribed the name of Henry
Tetz, formerly of Grass Valley and
Rufus, and presently the same of
Heppner.
Certain incidents at certain times
bring put certain acts, as did the
popularity of our soon-to-be ex
coach, when it was rumored that he
was not returning for the next school
year. Perhaps it was not so domin
ant during his reign here, but when
the rumor that he was going to Ad
ams, Oregon, was found to be of ac
tual fact, many disappointing words
were spoken between his pupils who
enjoyed his companionship, both as
coach and teacher. These words
spoken of as disappointing can hard
ly be termed as such, as they were
outspoken by messages of congrat
ulations and good luck in hsi role as
superintendent and coach at Adams.
A school such as this dislikes to see
another school take from their midst
a man of his calibre, but as the bit
ter must be taken with the sweet,
so must we do the same; and so to
you, Mr. Tetz, the best of luck. See
you next basketball season.
Figures and facts . . . High point
man in basketball . . . Van Marter
with 202 points. Same for football,
Gilman with 9 touchdowns and 5
conversions for a total of 59 tallies.
Gilman's strike-out record ... 60 in
36 innings. In four of the baseball
games, Heppner's opponents gained
3 uns in each tilt. The basketball
team went into a slump after the end
of the first semester . . . could a 10th
termer have been a contributing
cause? The two-man track team of
King and Gilman totaled 18 points
at the Pendleton meet. The basket
ball game with Goldendale, Wash.,
was the first out-of-state since 1912.
The Mustang's nearest baseball com
petitor was just inside the 48-mile
radius. Six points were scored in
the last 35 seconds of the first Hepp
ner - Lexington tournament game
(basketball). Four new coaches in
Morrow county next year, Tetz of
Heppner, Ingles of Boardman, Tuck
er of lone, and Lewis of Lexington
each vacating. The local school will
miss the familiar countenance of the
veteran athletic official, Randall
Grimes, scorer . . . also his limou
sine when transportation is needed.
Interest shown by girls in physical
education was indeed exasperating.
Most spectacular baseball play . . ,
Munkers' successful catch of a sizz
ling overhead fly, leaping high into
the air to snare it.
Hot off the griddle ... In the
summary of last week's track meet
at La Grande, Roloff of Mac-Hi
threw the shot in 10.9 seconds . . .
this is an age of speed when they
start measuring the steel ball toss in
seconds instead of feet ... La Grande
is to be host to a grade school track
meet with an entry list of 900 con
testants . . . and the baseball throw
is one of the events . . . maybe they
know what they're doing, but if
they don't, heaven help them.
This edition of the Hehisch will
see the last column of Pinto -Points
with my name as the writer. Next
year, a junior will take over the
reins of this sports gossip, and the
following year another junior will
do the same. The school year of
1936-37 has seen sport situations of
practically every shape and form;
and although many sport seasons
see them, it is doubtful if any have
been as eventful as this one. With
much regret, I hereby turn over the
reins of "Pinto -Pointer" to a sports
following member of next year's
junior English class and to this per
son, whoever he may be, good luck!
May the incidents of which this com
ing writer will journalize be as
eventful as have been my privilege
to edit in the columns of the Hepp
ner high school paper, the Hehisch.

Brain Buster
Answer to last week's brain bust
er: He wore a sailor suit.
The Traditional Frog. There is a
well twenty feet deep. A frog
climbs upward five feet in the day
time, but at night falls asleep and
falls back four feet. How many days
does it take him to get out of the
well?
H.H.3.
Guess Who?
He is one among the sophomore lads,
And you could never count the
freckles he has.
He can make cinnamon toast.
And to his schoolmates he loves to
boast.
He fikes to go to Rhea Creek without
telling his mother
Do you suppose he'll try to go to
another?
If you can't guess who or why,
His initials are B. I.
H.H.S.
Did You Know That
Gilman and McCurdy were in the
swimming tank?
Mr. Tetz takes neck-exercises?
Shoun ran over the front bumper
of his car Sunday? (Now what kind
of a position could he get into to do
that?)
Willie Stone is starting a hope
chest? (Where there's life there's
hope.)
Bailey had "three musketeers" at
Hidaway Sunday?
Charles had to cook his own
breakfast on the picnic Sunday?
(Give her another chance.)
Don Turner had to prove to Mr.
Tetz that he was only drinking soda
pop?
Billy Irwin is so absent-minded
that he forgot his girl's ticket to the
program Friday? (Was he in a
dither?)
There's a fish in the journalism
class?
Kay didn't need a fishing license
on the picnic? -
G. Cason has what it takes? (Give
us a few pointers.)
If you want an accurate as well
as an interesting account of the se
nior picnic, see Bill McCaleb?
Did you notice that the humor
editors weren't in the humor this
week? (Lack of dope?)
Sigma Xi Chapter
Brings Recognition
Corvallis Recognition of the at
tainments of Oregon State college
in scientific research was accorded
on May 12 with the installation of
a chapter of Sigma Xi, national hon
or fraternity in research. It is the
fifth such chapter in the Pacific
northwest and the second in Ore
gon, the first being at the Univer
sity of Oregon. Ninety members of
the Oregon State college faculty were
installed as charter members, these
having previously been elected by
other chapters. Dr. W. F. Durand
of Stanford university, national
president of Sigma Xi, conducted
the installation ceremonies and Dr.
Linus Pauling, graduate of Oregon
State college, now with the Califor
nia Institute of Technology, delivered
the installation banquet address.
