Back to School
With the pleasant memories of
summer vacation lingering in their
minds, and refreshed by their three
months absence, once again the stu
dents of Heppner high school take
up their duties. The familiar faces
of last year s seniors have been re
placed by the, up-and-coming fresh
man class.
The ones returning greet an im
proved school house of repainted
walls, new lighting system, and add
ed rooms. A sound system projector
has increased both the educational
and recreational program very much
The new equipment consists of a
phonograph connected with a loud
speaker and will be used at the so
cial hours, and a 16 m.m. projector
for educational films. This will fur
nish the best of music without the
necessity of hiring an orchestra and
offer much new material in the way
of class room instruction.
Are you wondering:
Why a certain group of Soph girls
have originated a man haters club?
Why everyone makes such a mad
dash for the typing room
Why the freshmen insist on car
rying all their belongings around
with them?
Why Ruth Green sends her letters
in care of the county jail?
Why Bob Scrivner blushes every
time he meets Laura Warfeild?
Those were the good old days, were
n't they, Bob?
How many more days of school are
left?

First Assembly Held
The students will enjoy school
more this year because of the more
pleasant surroundings. All rooms,
both high school and grade school,
have received a new coat of paint.
New lighting fixtures have added
much to the attractiveness of the
high school. This much needed im
provment will be used to great ad
vantage by the students throughout
the next nine months.
Some instructive speeches were
given before the student body on the
first day of school for the benefit of
the incoming Frosh. Arlene Morton
spoke on the Pep club, La Verne
Van Marter on the Benzine Ring,
Maxine McCurdy on the traditions
of Heppner high school, Jackson
Gilliam on the H club, and Scott
McMurdo on the Norton Winnard
cup. Paul McCarty issued a warn
ing about the use of the new lights
in the assembly.

What Happened This Summer
This summer was much more in
teresting for many students than
last. Practically everyone went to
the mountains, coast, city, or in some
other form of vacation. The main
events for those who were at home
during the summer were the "Broad
caster," a play put on-by the Lions
club as a benefit for the swimming
pool, the rodeo queen dances, and
last but not least, the rodeo itself.
For almost every good time, some-
one had some misrortune. wane
Stone had the worst hick by being
thrown off a horse into a tree, break
ing his hip. Carolyn Vaughn had a
similar misfortune, only she was
not seriously hurt.
Our student body president, Paul
McCarty, attended a journalism
school at Portland, where he had the
privilege of hearing many noted
writers.
In the field of engineerng, Thomas
Gonty won second prize in the junior
division of the state Fisher Crafts
man Guild contest with a miniature
car. The auto, done to scale, is back
east being judged in the national
contest now. His prize was $75.

New Classes Held This Year
With the starting of school many
classes have been changed. The most
important of these is the changing
of the civics and sociology classes
into history and civics. Orientation
and junior business is being offered
instead of bookkeeping which will be
offered hereafter to seniors as a half
year subject in conjunction with
commercial law. General math is
taking the place of algebra for fresh
men with geometry and algebra be
ing alternated on opposite years for
math majors.
Typing has been made compul
sory for the freshmen, in order that
they might have use of it for all four
years of high school instead of just
tvo, as it has been in previous years
Public speaking has been made a
required subject for juniors.
The physical education and health
classes have been divided into two
periods, with the juniors and seniors
taking P. E. together and the soph-
mores and freshmen taking P. E. to
gether.
Football Outlook Bright
The first call for gridiron practice
was sounded last Tuesday, and from
the turnout it looks as though Hepp
ner again will have what it takes.
Although several valuable players
graduated last year, there are new
recruits from the ranks to take their
places; and, of course, the veterans
are there as strong and sturdy as
ever. With these facts in view, we
anticipate one of the snappiest teams
Heppner has yet produced. Coach
Knox said, "I have never worked
with a group of boys who work as
hard and are as ready to learn as our
boys are. This spirit wll do much to
insure the success of the team."
The boys who have turned out up
to date are as follows: La Verne Van
Marter, Vernon Knowles, Jackson
Gilliam, Art McAtee, John Hays
Emery Coxen, Harold Armstrong,
Richard Hayes, Bill Barratt, Bill
Blake, Jack Merrill, Harry O'Don
nell, Cliff Fay, Austin McAtee, Dean
Gilman, Norval Osborn, Bob ScriV'
ner, Don Bennett, Don Fredrickson,
Douglas Drake, Kemp Dick and Ar
thur Vance.

Part Played by the Mosquito
To the mosquito has been given
greater part on the stage of the
world's human history than to any
other creature. Down the minute
microscopic groove of its salivary
gland has flowed the precious fluid
which has closed the continent of
Africa for countless centuries to civ
ilization, and which has played
dominating part in destroping the
civilizations of ancient Greece and
Rome.
Yet there is nothing more fragiL
or in reality more beautiful than the
mosquito. We have almost been as
blind to the loveliness as to the
deadliness of this creature, whose
delicately alighting feet are unfelt
by our comparatively smooth skins.
For its beauty is a function of its
deadliness. Those huge green eyes
on the dark background,. those trans
PINTO POINTS
Again the dominating subject of
a sports confab is that of the grant
old game of football, the game of
thrills, knocks, chills, and every oth
er form of entertainment. High
school teams, which are our primary
interest, are reporting daily for
practice. Some member of these
squads will rise to section or state
wide fame; others will drop into
oblivion. Regardles of their fate as
far as state-wide publicity is con
cerned, each member of a team is
an outstanding figure in the minds
of his followers. The same applies to
all members of the Heppner football
eleven.
Although they are known as grid-
iron enemies to tne oiner xeams,
. . ll ll A
loyal backers hold them in their
highest esteem, despite the fact that
these fans may not constitute a very
large number, as is the local case.
Last year, the support given high
school athletics was considerably
more than that of previous years:
yet the sports of our high school
were non-supporting. Thus, an idea
is given of the low ebb which sports
backing in Heppner had reached.
This year new equipment permits a
higher calibre of athletics to be
shown, in both indoor ' and outdoor
sports; and to loyally support these
sports means realizing the ambition
of a high school student body.
During the summer, several menv
bers of last years athletic teams
were seen wearing regalia whicn
was rightfully the property of the
high school . . . these aforementioned
football jersies no doubt make nice
work clothing, but the school would
appreciate the prompt return of this
athletic equipment.
The letters, for which the athletes
had been so impatiently waiting over
a period of several weeks, finally
arrived, but the formal presentation
was not featured as they were dis
tributed during the summer Dad
Driscoll, while readying the school
building for the present school term
was the victim of many a letter-
seeker's verbal onslaught, but he
was unable to remedy the situation.
Several of the boys having inten
tions along the gridiron line, were
disappointed on hearing that foot
ball uniforms were not to be issued
the first day Coach Knox inaug
urating the system of giving the
boys who were most assured varsity
positions first choice at the new
equpiment.
"Truck" Van Marter, fullback a-
la-moose, has picked up a few
pounds, weighing 189. the first day
of practice, and at one time during
the summer topping 196. '
Evidently, paying their student
body dues is not a serious affair)
with members of the football team
unless this is done, all hopes which
they might have of playing in a
game may be dismissed.
Many wonder as to the occupation
which holds a football player's in
terest during the summer months.
The coach also asks this question,
as the condition of the gridiron stal
warts after the initial practice of
ten produces a sight wfcrthy of a
position in the hall of horrors. Dis
regarding the aforementioned para
graph, the positions held by these
athletes are of considerable variety.
The following list does not infer that
they were all summer jobs: Art Mc
Atee, wood hauler; Johnny Hays,
hay hand; Jackson Gilliam, wheat
hauler; Vernon Knowles, harvest
and hay hand; La Verne Van Marter,
hay hand; Rich Hayes, service sta
tion attendant; Emmett Kenny, har
vest and hay hnad; Milton Morgan,
janitor; Harold Armstrong, lumber
jack; Bill Blake, warehouse em
ployee.
New students coming to Heppner
high school represent several towns
from various sections of the state.
There are eight new enrollees, ex
clusive of freshmen and three upper
classes. The list includes Bob Da
vidson, lone; Bertha Akers, lone;
Lura Stephens, Rhea Creek; Edna
Stephens, Rhea Creek; Laura War
field, Gooseberry; Norma Scrivner,
Oregon City; Jean Hays, Tillamook,
and Mary Kirk, Lone Rock.
parent wings, the double-edged
sword of its long tongue, the slen
der legs yet so strong all are need
ed to pierce swiftly and silently the
thick and heavily armored epider
mis of man.
So that if you would see all of
Nature gathered up at one point, in
her loveliness, and her skill, and her
deadliness, where would you find a
more striking example than the
mosquito?
