Long Waited For Improvements
In every house-wife's dream of
heaven, there were paved streets.
The fact that they were paved with
gold or asphalt didn't make any dif
ference as long as the dust was kept
down. It looks as though this dream
is about to come true.
Along with paved streets come
two new tennis courts up by the
gymnasium. The previously used
tennis courts were virtually dust
holes, with tufts of grass in spots.
Let's hope that the new streets
don't tempt the local speedsters to
try. to find out how fast they can
take certain curves or straight
aways. Let's not change an improve
ment into some one's grave.
Now we have streets and tennis
courts. Let's hope that next summer
will bring us a swimming pool and
a plentiful water supply.

Events of the Week
The social activities of Heppner
High were launched successfully last
Wednesday evening with the open
ing social hour of the season. Due
to the new sound system, the best
of music was available, which ac
counted for the good time had by all.
The Pep club held a special meet
ing Wednesday to select new mem
bers. Those selected were Bud
Blakely, Carolyn Vaughn, Paul Doo
little, Bethal Blake and Scott Mc
Murdo. The new officers for the year
are Arlene Morton, president; Bob
Scrivner, vice president; Joe Aiken,
secretary-treasurer; Ruth Green,
publicity manager.
A meting was called by the "H"
club for the purpose of electing new
officers. Johnny Hays was elected
president; Clayton Wright, vice
president; Evelyn Kirk, secretary
treasurer. The week was topped off with the
long looked for class rush. The
freshmen proved themselves worthy
of all honors by defeating the Soph
omores by the margin of 76 to 97.
The freshmen took both major
events, the parade and the skit. The
rest of the program proved both
teams equal in athletic ability.

HUMOR
Miss Smith: "I heard you singing
in your room this afternoon."
Miss Nordstrom: "Oh, yes, I sing
a little to kill time."
Miss Smith: "You have a very
good weapon."
Mr. Knox: "Kemp, what are you
doing?"
Kemp (studying the digestive or
gans of a mammal): "Getting some
inside information."
Margaret B.: "Have you heard of
the trained fleas? Aren't they won
derfeul?" Harry ODonnell: "Oh, I don't
know. Down at Portland last sum
mer we had mosquitos that would
eat out of our hands."
Mr. Peavy: "When I was your age,
I knew twice as much about this
subject as you do."
Joe: "Yes, but you had a different
English teacher."
Richard H-: "Why is Art a great
electrician?"
Cliff F-: "Because all his clothes
are charged."

PINTO POINTS
During the summer, a few of the
recent alumni of Heppner High, now
attending college, asked the question
as to why the student body of last
year changed the monicker of all
local athletic teams from the "Fight
ing Irish" to the "Mustangs." To
clear up all controversy concerning
this alteration, at the time this de
cision was made there were in this
school which has a total enrollment
of 123, exactly nine Irish students
. . . and of this number, the whole
sum of two reported for athletics,
that being football . . . with one
making the varsity. Need more be
said?
Last week's football episode
proved that having high school
games on Saturday is not exactly a
profitable proposition . . . the at
tendance at the season's opener in
dicated this through the number of
students present. In the Heppner
school, there are several bus stu
dents . . . add to this number the
ones who have other vocations to
occupy their time, and the result is
a very small yelling section.
This Friday, gridiron enthusiasts
will have an opportunity to witness
the first demonstration of six-man
football in Morrow county . . . the
scene of battle is Lexington, with
the Jackrabbits meeting their neigh
boring rival, lone. Thus far, Lexing
ton has only four games scheduled,
two with lone and the same number
to be played against Boardman.
Last week's column carried a
statement to the effect that the in
tentions of Len Gilman, former
gridiron great, were to attend the
University of Oregon. So they were,
but on arriving at Eugene, a situa
tion arose which made it impractical
for him to enroll there. He has now
returned to Forest Grove and filed
his registration card with Pacific
university.
Curfew chatter . . . Dr. McMurdo
has employed the company paving
the streets to construct for him a
tennis court on the lot adjoining his
home . . . it's completion will give
him the finest privately owned court
in Heppner . . . work has also been
started by the same company on the
long-awaited tennis courts at the
high school. Bill Nelson, a former
grade school students here, is cen
ter on The Dalles football team . . .
his weight, 170. Scouting Heppner in
their game with Condon, Vince Bar
ratt, Arlington mentor, says his team
is far below the standard of last
year ? ? . '. . Arlington has joined
the Interstate League composed of
several Oregon and Washington
teams; their first league game to be
played tomorrow against White Sal
mon . . . after watching him per
form in the Condon game, and also
remembering the destruction he
brought to would-be yardage plays
in last year's second Arlington tilt,
the Honker coach concluded that
Harold Armstrong, Mustang guard,
is the outstanding lineman of the
local team. Dan Dinges, having
dropped his managerial activities at
Lexington, has taken over the cen
ter position on their six-man foot
ball team. Anyone wishing a large
size copy of the coast conference
football schedule, see this writer . . .
first come, first served, as the sup
ply is limited. With both teams
sporting new jerseys, Heppner and
Condon made their game a flashy
one. Riley Munkers, ex-Heppner
grid star, passed through Arlington
last Thursday as a member of the
travelling squad of the Oregon In
stitute of Technology football team,
enroute to play Eastern Oregon
Normal at La Grande. This writer's
mania for traveling again overtook
him, and as a result, this column
seems to be lacking in first hand in
formation on last Saturday's game.
How to Lose Friends
It is very easy to lose friends if
you know the right procedure.
First, dig up all the dirt about
people you can, then tell it to every
body you know, and of course, add a
little bit now and then.
When conversing wtih anyone, be
sure ti talk about yourself all the
time and give the other fellow no
chance whatsoever to talk. Grab hold
of his coat or arm, and be sure he
doesn't get away.
Oh, yes, you must not forget to
play all the practical jokes you can
upon him; he will like it. When some
one is talking to some one else, butt
in and join them.
If you go to a party, don't knock;
just walk in, but don't take off your
hat; just leave it on. Hunt up the re
freshments and help yourself.
Do you ride in other people's cats?
Well, if you do, be sure to say you
don't like that particular model.
Look into everything; they won't
mind.
Be sure to wear your hat in the
theater, because some one else might
want to see. Pin a conspicuous name
upon everyone, just for fun, you
know.
Don't forget to be the , main at
traction at all social gatherings; sing,
dance, anything you can do.
When dancing, dance upon your
partner's feet; they probably need
a massage anyway.
Now, the motto for this lesson is:
Do unto others as you wouldn't
have them do unto you.

Cranium Breaker
Answer to last week's problem:
The boy's swimming time exceeds
the two-hour limit set by his moth
er by 46 2-3 minutes.
This week's problem: Mr. Jones
earns $50 a month and gets paid
once a month. Each month he gets
a raise of ten dollars. This continues
for five months. Mr. Brown also
earns $5 per month, but he gets his
salary twice a month. Each pay day
he gets a raise of $2.50. This con
tinues for five months. Which of the
two men had earned more at the
end of the five months?

CAMP SITE AND

F. F. A. Chapter Plans Recrea
tion Spot, Representation at
National Conclave
Construction of a summer camp in
the forest and sending a delegate to
to national conclave at Kansas City
are two highlights in the year's ac
tivities of the local chapter, Future
Farmers of America, planned at a
meeting Monday.
A committee of three boys was
named to investigate possible sites
on upper Willow creek, not too far
from town, where the summer camp
development may be made. Dam
ming and widening of creek at the
site picked is expected to provide a
swimming pool. Help will be asked
in various ways from the commu
nity and the camp facilities made
available to the public if the project
is completed.
A series of entertainments is ex
pected to provide funds for sending
the local delegate to Kansas City, the
first of which will be a pie social in
the near future.
