Your School Paper
A school paper creates school spir
it by standing for the loyalty and
earnest effort that is put into it. The
paper of a school is very valuable to
the students as it keeps them m
formed of all things of current in
terest about the school. It gives in
teresting accounts of athletic con
tests and all school activities.
A good paper gives our school a
good reputation. Many people out
side of school and in schools of oth
er towns read it. If it is well writ
ten and displays the best thought
and work that we can possibly put
into it, they form a good opinion of
the paper, the school, and the stu
dent body.
As soon as the average pupil re
ceives the paper, he looks through
the personals and jokes to see if his
name is mentioned, leaving the re
mainder of the paper until a later
date. Each pupil in the school can
make his paper a success by writing
some articles or offering helpful
suggestions to the editor or assistant
editor.

Operetta Chosen
This year's operetta is "The King's
Courtship," an oriental comic pro
duction which is to be given Decem
ber 17. The cast is as follows: King,
La Verne Van Marter; Tong, Donald
Bennett; Zingo, Robert Scrivner;
Kalores, Buddy Blakely; Kerocino,
Joe Aiken; Margotte, Evelyn Kirk;
Mayoress, Juanita Phelps; Cherry
Rose, Harriet Hager; Marigold, Ar
lene Morton; Silver Bell, Alvina
Casebeer; Arreschu, Jackson Gilliam
and Mons. Q., Jack Merrill.
The king is a widower who mourns
the loss of an only son, and his heart
is set on finding a maid who will
cheer his heart. He has even adver
tised in the Matrimonial News. Un
known to her daughter, the May
oress has answered the ad on Cherry
Rose's behalf.
The King meets Cherry Rose and
is satisfied that his search has ended
successfully. Cherry Rose, already
married, objects, which only makes
the King more determined to wed
her. Cherry Rose tells the king of
her secret wedding.
The King makes a vow which is
very sacred when uttered by a mon
arch of Japonica: If he refrains from
eating anything for 24 hours, Cherry
Jlose, by virtue of the fulfillment of
his vow, becomes his bride. If he
should break this vow by eating one
crumb, she is free and the King
must continue his search.
The time comes and the King
claims his bride. The Jester, Tong,
now takes affairs in hand and proves
that His Majesty has actually broken
the royal vow. How the Jester finds
out is told in the climax of the op
eretta, which ends with everybody
happy except the King himself.

II Club Meets
The H club met last Tuesday at
which time the constitution was
read- At the next meeting the con
stitution will be voted on. The con
stitution committee was composed
of Richard Hayes, Jackson Gilliam
and Joe Aiken.
PINTO POINTS
The Condon Globe-Times, in its
write-up of the first Heppner tilt,
spoke of it as mostly a defensive
game, so far as the Condon team was
concerned. This spoken-of publish
ing house, much to its regret, will
practically' be forced to repeat that
statement in this weeks paper, as
Heppner"s 19 to 6 victory over the
Blue Devils, the second in as many
weeks, gives the Condon publica
tion no alternative but to make its
summary of Friday's game to repe
tition of the previously written ac
count of the first meeting between
these traditional rivals. The Gilliam
county team's only outstanding of
fensive splurge came in the first
half, when they amassed consider
able yardage only to lose the ball,
later scoring on a blocked Mustang
punt.
This Friday s game with Touchet,
an institution located in our neigh
boring Evergreen state, marks Hepp-
ner's first inter-state game in years.
Comparatively little is known of
Touchet, except that a service sta
tion, warehouse and a store, along
with an educational building, con
stitute the metropolis; but the fact
that it supports a union high school
accounts for its outstanding success
on the gridiron, students from a
wide-spread area attending this
school. Last year's gridiron aspirants
of the Washington town severely
trounced Hermiston, the team over
which Heppner eked a 7 to 6 vic
tory. This paper is seeking addi
tional information on the record of
the Mustang's coming opponent, and
hopes to be able by publication time
to act as a more complete inform
ant on the team representing the
tongue-twisting city, Touchet, Wash
On the eve of the Condon battle,
Norbert Peavy, English instructor in
the local high school and ardent fol
lower of sports, publicly predicted
the fray would be a 20 to 6 proposi
tion favoring Heppner. So close did
he come to correctly prophesying
the results of the game, that to come
any closer he would have had to
actually guess the real score . . . one
mere point separating his opinion
of the score from the true one. Thus
has been unfolded a predictioner,
whose uncanny ability to foretell re
suits of football games has' been the
subject of many local sports forums
However, achieving such unbeliev
able success on the first attempt does
not justify placing his name as a
prefix to the Williamson system, a
firm whose business is to predict
future game results. To remove all
doubt, this highly publicized new
comer to the "declaring-beforehand'
clan will be placed under a stiff ex
amination. A "pick the winner'
blank form has been obtained from
"Portland's own store," and his task
will be to pick the victors in eight
een football games which cover the
leading colleges of the country. If
this college president's offspring
passes the test with a sufficient mar
gin to merit future public predic
tions, Mr. Peavy will be granted a
license permitting him to prophesy,
for those in doubt, the final results
of gridiron meetings.
Curfew chatter . . . Pendleton high
school has purchased a new bus,
which will be used as the means of
transporting its athletic teams . . .
the Round Up city pigskin followers
are also making plans for chartering
a special train to Eugene for the
purpose of watching "Jackrabbit"
Jay Graybeal perform against Ore
gon State. Cyclists have given ad
vance notice of their intent to use
the newly-constructed tennis courts
as a bicycle arena, until such time
as the racquet wielders take offi
cial control. Anyone wishing to com
pete in the contest with the recent
ly discovered pre-game score wia
ard may obtain an entry blank from
this writer. "The Huskies will meet
Pittsburgh again in the Rose Bowl,"
so stated Mike Percarovich, Gon
azga mentor, in a mid-summer re
port to newspapermen . . . perhaps
he changed his mind on this decision
after Oregon State's recent upset of
the University of Washington's
coast champions.

Smith-Hughes Instructor
Mr. Bennett was born in Mon
mouth. He later moved with his par
ents to Independence, where he at
tended both grade and high school.
After graduating from high school,
he attended Oregon State college.
After graduating from college, he
went to Hawaii, where he taught
agriculture at Kealekekua. For the
following two years he took a posi
tion as boss over a group of Filipino
workers. Upon his return to the
United States, he taught agriculture
at Arlington for two years. He is now
teaching agriculture here and is in
charge of the local F-F-A.

HUMOR
Can you imagine:
Mr. Peavy or Mr. Buhman wheel
ing a baby carriage?
Jack Morton going to Condon to
take his bath?
The football team without Bill
Browning?
Who saw the Northern Lights last
Thursday?
La Verne dating a sophomore?
Vernon Knowles: "How is your
memory?"
Emmet Kenny: "Almost perfect.
There are only three things I can't
remember; first there are names,
then there are faces, and I forgot
what the third is."
Jackson: "Do you think Art put
enough fire into his speech?"
Bill B.: "The trouble was, he did
n't put enough of his speech into
the fire."
Miss Nordstrom: "I am sure I
heard a mouse squeaking down
stairs." Miss Smith: "What do you expect
me to do, go down and oil it?"

Events of the Past
One year ago this week: Heppner
school band played at the annual
Pioneers' Reunion held at Lexing
ton this week. . . . Marvin Casebeer
and Andy Shoun related their ex
periences at the Pacific International
Livestock exposition before the as
sembly Monday. . . . The Heppner
grid stalwarts fell before Arlington's
mighty running attack to the tune of
12-0 at the Rodeo stadium this week.
Five years ago this week: In the
football game against Pilot Rock,
last Friday, the high school boys
advanced the pigskin the full length
of the field seven times in actual
yardage but failed to score. They
twice had the ball on their oppon
ents' one foot line but lacked the
necessary drive to push over a score.
. . . Coach George Mabee gave a
talk before the Lions' club and urged
them to support all the home games
this year.
Ten years ago this week: After
losing to Hermiston in the first game
the Fighting Irish made a fine come
back by defeating Fossil 39-6 on the
local gridiron. . . The student coun
cil of Heppner high school adopted
the National Torch Honor society
as the honor society of the high
school to replace the Arion Literary
society.
