H.H.S.
It Couldn't be Spring!
A most insidious disease has de
veloped with the human race. It
strikes in temperate and colder cli
mates, leaving destruction and dis
order in its wake. It destroys the
studiousness of good students, and
leaves their work in disorder. This
plague comes only in March or April
when everything is waking up from
its winter's hibernation. The first
symptoms are a loss of appetite and
energy, a horror of effort, and a dis
position to sleep at all times.
Probably the best cure is to take
in large doses of spring. Take long
hikes in the country, gather all the
flowers that can be found, and try
staying out a little later at night,
The name of this terrible disease
is Spring Fever. Spring fever is not
so bad as it sounds; is, in fact, the
most pleasant disease known. When
there is nothing to do, one may en
courage an attack of this disease.
PINTO-POINTS
Since its existence, this column
has been devoted almost entirely to
news pertaining to boys' sports. The
reason for these writings being con
nected with the masculine side is a
logical one; a good share of the girls
(excluding, of course, those who are
exempt) don't take enough interest
in physical education to merit any
journalistic ditties. That sounds like
a slam, but its object was hardly of
that nature, merely being to broaden
a plain fact that is nothing new and
one that has been living in our Mus
tang institution for some time. How
ever; since the time is opportune to
insert a feminine sidelight into the
news, a line or two in this section
will be used to that advantage.
Attention "H" club: Two years ago
a couple of girls in the local high
school were appointed managers of
the gymnasium teams by the physi
cal education instructor and as a
reward for their duties of keeping a
record of the individual girls who
were striving for letters, they were
also promised a letter, an "H" just
the same as the boys receive. As yet,
the girls haven't received the, letters
and they have been waiting some 700
days for them .". . by rights, these
girls should be granted letters, not
only for their efforts as manager but
because so few girls in school pos
sess and wear them.
Out of gear . . . Francis "Tiger"
Nickerson, member of the University
of Oregon's boxing team, writes that
our own Joe Green, quite a basket
ball player in his high school days,
is the coming 145-pound prospect at
the University . . . Tiger commented
that Green hasn't been turning out
long, but his natural speed, nerve,
and strength make it easy for him.
Three members of this fall's football
team, probably lettermen, will re
ceive new football pants, which were
ordered last week for fall delivery
, . . also ordered were fifteen purple
practice jersies ... it is hoped they
will save the wear and tear on the
white and purple game jersies.
Condon's FFA boxing team came
over to Heppner last Friday eve with
the intentions of knocking Heppner's
"farmer boys" kicking, but the Gil
liam county lads were thwarted in
Heppner
most of their efforts ... it remained j
for two local boys, putting on an ex
hibition, to provide the ace fisticuff
activities . . . some say it was a
grudge battle, some say it wasn't;
some don't even say; but it must be
admitted that the bout turned out
to be more than an exhibition ... a
pre-fight rumor was going around
that one of the boys was out to get
the other ... the aggressor for the
first round roughed it up a little too
much to suit his opponent, and the
result was a rousing second and last
round with both boys anxiously
awaiting the final gong . . . however,
the fist-slinger who seemed to have
the edge in the first two cantos had
had his fling and was physically in
capable of keeping up his pace, while
the other half of the ring battle put
his reserve power into action and
proceeded to use it most forcibly and
effectively.

County Teachers to Meet

Kranium Kracker
A policeman, chasing a thief, was
80 yards behind him when the thief
ran up an alley. Reaching the end
of the alley, the thief turned and
ran back, emerging on the street
just as the policeman arrived. Had
the thief gone only half way up the
alley and then turned back, the po
liceman would have been compelled
to run 120 yards beyond the alley to
catch him. How long was the alley?

Urges Gauge Testing
On Pressure Cookers
Oregon homemakers who are un
certain as to whether the pressure
gauges on their pressure cookers are
still accurate after years of use now
have an opportunity to have this
important point determined for them
free of charge, says Miss Lucy A.
Case, extension specialist in foods
and nutrition, at Oregon State col
lege. Miss Case will furnish, on request,
the address of a national manufac
turer of pressure cookers who has
written to the college offering to
test pressure cooker gauges free, re
gardless of age and make.
More homemakers each year are
using pressure cookers for canning,
and home have used them for years
and canned thousands of jars of food
in them, Miss Case points out. As
the gauges often get out of order
after steady use, it is difficult, with
out a test, to know whether the in
strument is still recording accurate
ly the pressure in the cooker.
The pressure indicates the tem
perature instide the cooker, as most
home cookers are not equipped

with thermometers, Miss Case says. . Turner
