Team Loses to Fossil The Heppner basketball team lost its first league game at Fossil, Sat urday night, 27-14. The superior condition of the Fossil team proved to be the deciding factor in the de cisive victory, as they ran the Mus tangs ragged in the last half to -core thirteen points to Heppner's four. The half-time score was 14-10 in favor of the Wheeler county lads. The Heppner team was pleasantly surprised when they found that the new Fossil gym was larger than the local one and with a higher ceiling. H.H.S. Operetta Successful "The King's Courtship," a comic operetta given by the combined boys' and girls' choruses of the high school, was successfully presented to a large and enthusiastic audience last Fri day evening. , The amusing antics of the jester, Donald Bennett, and the king, La Verne Van Marter, were very commendable and ap pealed to the audience. H.H.S. Support White Christmas Along with all the fun of receiv ing and sending gifts and writing letters to Santa Claus, let us give our support to the senior class in helping to sponser the White Christ mas. Each of us has been asked to bring either food or clothing which someone would be only too glad to receive. Let us remember in doing this that there are those less for tunate than we. Many hearts will be gladdened and the load made lighter for those whom we help in this small way. Give with a willing heart and remember: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." H.H.S. Personals Margaret Doolittle motored to Pendleton Saturday. Paul McCarty spent the week end in Portland. Lloyd Burkenbine spent the week end in Milton-Freewater and Pen dleton. While returning from the basket ball game at Fossil, Milton Morgan had the misfortune to overturn his car. He was accompanied by Mrs. Morgan and several basketball play ers. Nobody was injured. H.H.S. Past Events 1 Year Ago ... A Social Hour with a large attendance was held in the gym from nine o'clock till eleven, with the Home Economics club fur nishing the refreshments. . . . Gol dendale defeated the Heppner five with a score of 34 to 28. Fred Hos kins led the scoring with 10 points, and La Verne Van Marter was next with 8 points. 5 Years Ago ... A contest was held by the classes for writing the most original songs. The Frosh were given first place by the song "Loy alty." composed by Eleanor Adkins. The seniors received second place with the song "Memories," composed by Hazel Beymer. The juniors re ceived honorable mention with a song written by Annabel Turner. 10 Years Ago . . . School was to be dismissed on Friday but they, the teachers, surprised the students by dismissing them on Thursday. Eighteen girls turned out for the girls' basketball team. H.H.S. Can You Imagine Several freshmen going to the discussion "Success in College"? A certain group of boys organiz ing a bachelors' club? Tsk! Tskl Mr. Peavy writing with a type writer; or chewing gum? HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER; OREGON, THURSDAY, DEC. 23, 1937 PINTO POINTS The Oregon High School Athletic association- at its annual meeting, December 30, will come forth with decisions on two problems that are of direct interest to Heppner ath letic followers. On that board's re port hinges whether or not La Verne Van Marter, Mustang center, will be eligible for further competition in athletics this forthcoming . second semester. In his sophomore year, he was the victim of an illness that was entirely unforseen, and although go ing out for basketball when a fresh man, he competed in no games. The board's other decision having direct contact with us concerns the status of Hermiston, whether it is a class "A" or "B" school. According to some theories, Hermiston has been an "A" school for the last two years, but has not declared itself as such However, a protest was' made, as they have been playing, for the most part, in "B" competition, and last spring reached the finals in a "B" district basketball tuornament. It really puts the Bulldogs on the spot for should it be declared as possess mg an A rating, riermiston wm probably be placed in one of the toughest basketball districts in the state, thaf ot District 2, composed of Pendleton, Mac Hi, The Dalles and Hood River. Although Hermiston has beaten the first-named of that foursome of schools, Pendleton can hardly be termed as the class of that league. Three boys on the local basket tossing squad, Doug Drake, Bill Bar ratt and La Verne Van Marter, can each hold a basketball in his right hand. Among local notables visiting his home town during the Christmas holidays is Francis "Tiger" Nick erson of the University of Oregon. Tiger says he is in for a vacation of abstainment from such tempting di versions as this present period of fers to the young man of the pres ent generation ... a scrapping mem ber of the university boxing team, Tiger meets the 135 pound repre sentative of the Chemawa Indian school shortly after vacation ... his condition must be one of top shafie as the Indian boys have a reputa tion of being able to give as well as take. The task of being athletic man ager is evidently a job of undesir able proportions, as Harold Arm strong has taken over the reins for merly held, by Harry Tamblyn . . . not since the days of Paul Phelan, who was a three-year man in that capacity, has a manager been found who stayed the entire year and worked consistently through the per iod covering the four sports spon sored by this school. H.H.S. Have Yoti Ever Noticed Florence Becket trying to get a line upon Paul McCarty? (Is it jealousy?) Seen Anna Marie making eyes at Jack Vaughn? Wondered why Bud Blakely wants to know what kind of a chisel Jack Merrill uses? Heard that certain girls would like to use the high school telephone to make their dates? Heard that Laura Warfield likes Thomas Gonty? Heard the rumor that Donnie Ben nett is in love? Seen or heard of Mr. Buhman's ideal trombone section? Heard one of Lloyd Burkenbine's jokes? Heard about the college life yet? (You will!) Wondered what Jack Morton will give Pat Dooley for Christmas? Thought that Betty Robinson likes Jackson Gilliam? H.H.S. Humor A self-styled reformer was watch ing a trench being dug by modern methods. He said to the superin tendent: . "This machine has taken jobs from scores of men. Why don't you junk that machine and put one hundred men in that ditch with shovels?" The superintendent promptly re torted: "Or better still, why not put a thousand men in there with tea spoons!" There had been a train wreck and one of the two traveling teachers felt himself slipping from his life. "Good-by, Tom," he groaned to his friend. "I'm done for." "Don't say that, old man!" Bput tered the English professor. "For lastl heaven's sake, dont end your l tl a nrafrt6ltinn Jeanne Hays: "Call for me tonight at eighty-thirty." Rufus Hill: "O. K. What Umell you be ready?" "What does the C. L 0. stand for!" "It doesn't stand. It sits down." "I turned the way I signaled, said the lady indignantly, after the crash. "I know it," retorted the man. That's what fooled me." Waiter: "Are you Hungary?" Broker: "Yes, Siam."- . Waiter: "Den Russian to the table and Til Fiji!" Broker: "All right, Sweden my coffee and Denmark my bill." "Now that we are married, perhaps I might venture to point out a few of prour little defects,' said a man recently. "Don't bother, dear." replied his wife. "I'm quite aware of them. Those defects prevented me from getting a much better man than you are." Dick Wilkinson went into a sad dlers shop and asked for one spur. "But why only one spur?" asked the puzzled clerk. Replied Dick: "Well, if I can get one side of the horse to go, the oth er will go with it." Mother: "I don't think the man unstairs likes Johnnie to play his drum." Father: "Why?" Mother: "Well, this afternoon he gave Johnnie a knife and asked him if he knew what was inside the drum." Harold Armstrong: "Those people over my neaa are sometimes very trving. They were jumping about and banging the floor till after mid night last Monday." Landlord: Did they wake you up: Harold: "No, I hadn't gone to bed yet." ' Landlord: "Working late, I sup poser Harold: Yes, I was practicing on my saxophone." - Rhea Creek Grange Installs New Officers The Rhea Creek grange members met on Friday night with a big clam feed followed by the installation of new officers.
