Save Battleship Oregon
Friday morning a short assembly
was held for the purpose of letting
Mr. Case of Heppner give an inter
esting talk about the Battleship Ore
gon. He gave a very interesting his
tory of the ship and told of the part
it took in two wars.
Today an attempt is being made
to raise a fund so that the "Oregon"
may be placed in the Memorial park
in Portland instead of being de
stroyed. Each student going to school
in the state of Oregon may contribute
any amount to this fund he wishes.

Faculty Gives Program
The assembly held last Friday,
which was given by the faculty, was
greatly enjoyed by the students of
the high school. The object of the
play was to give an idea of the ju
nior play cast at play practice. Dif
ferent teachers took the parts of
some of the cast and Mr. Peavy act
ed as director.

Have You Ever Wondered
Why Ruth spent a perfectly splen
did evening in lone Friday?
Why Milton Morgan was given a
list of pictures showing the art
of osculating?
How Arlene manages it?
Why it took Kemp Dick 2 hours
to drive 3 miles?
Why Maxine is worrying about the
interpretation certain people
might give to her trip to Cecil?
Why all the applause came from
the senior side of the assembly
when the basketball champion
ship was announced?
Why Jack Merrill can always tell
to the nth degree how long it has
been since his first date with a
senior girl?

PINTO-POINTS
Heppner"s basketball squad is a
tough one to figure out . . . that they
can really play ball has been- evi
denced in several games this year,
and then again, they display a brand
of ball that is hardly characteristic
of a clicking combination . . . any
team that loses to Hermiston, a top
notch hoop outfit, by 53 points and
then goes over to the mentioned city
and takes defeat by 21, really has
some potentialities . . . sounds rather
queer, it must be admitted, that it's
an honor to lose a game by 21 tallies,
but in this case it was; for in this
game, Heppner was minus its lanky
freshman center, Doug Drake, who
just recently began hitting the stride
.... his being in the line-up proba
bly wouldn't have made up for the
difference between a win or a lose,
but it would have aided the process
considerably. By tournament time,
the Mustangs should be about due
for another winning streak, but what
in the meantime? Only time can tell.
Off the backboard. The referee
of one of last week's practice scrim
mages wore leather-soled shoes
while journeying up and down the
court as he performed his duty . . .
and yet we wonder why our basket
ball floor is in such poor shape. La
Verne Van Marter can still play
basketball and compete in track this
semester, but not in Heppner ... in
Portland, whose schools have been
ousted from the Oregon High School
Heppner
Athletic association because they
refused to accept that body's ninth
term rule, five' year men are con
sidered eligible for track and bas
ketball ... as Van Marter was forced
out of competition because of that
ruling. HeDDner could follow suit
with Portland and also break away
from the state athletic body. Tomor
row nieht in the local gym, the
Heppner FFA boxing team meets the
farmer mit club from Condon . . .
soeakine of ring battles brings up
the time, about twenty years ago,
when a local boy and another Irom
a neighboring town squared off in
a private grudge battle, with but a
small number of selected spectators
on hand ... the bout lasted only a
short time . . . with one punch, the
local boy flattened his foe, thereby
finishing the match; in fact, the boy
who took it on the chin appeared to
be so lifeless after taking the blow
that a doctor was called, but the
boxer's toes stayed in their natural
position and he snapped out of it
some time later. Two weeks ago,
this column carried a statement to
the effect that an announcement
was forthcoming whiah would startle
basketball fans of this section ... it
failed to materialize; in fact, it was
iust something made out of noth
ing . . . someone got the idea that
because a high school player played
with a town team, he thereby made
himself ineligible for further com
petition while in school . . . when this
information leaked out, and it was to
be guarded with utmost secrecy.
concerning Ted Wilson and one of
his teammates at Boardman, a cloud
of quietness surrounded the matter
. . . Wilson and his fellow player,
Stanley Partlow, both played for
Boardman Townies . . . added to this,
Gerald Keller, Hermiston ace, was
also allegedly in on a similar deal,
playing with the Hermiston 'All-
Stars . . . none of the information
about the ineligibility of these play
ers has sufficient backing, so it's
well to dismiss the whole idea.

sisted of five selections by the school

numbers given by the boys' and
