On May 6th in the high school au
ditorium the Public Speaking class
of Heppner high school will present
two one-act plays. The proceeds of
these plays will be used to buy the
high school a radio. This radio will
not only be used for worth-while
broadcasts but especially in connec
tion with music work.

Weather Still Hampers Sports
it seems mat good old warm
weather is still being defeated by
the ill-natured bad weather and has
not as yet given the track and base
ball boys a chance to show their
abilities. Most of last week's practice
was spent in the school gym with
various exercises which gave the
players many aches in their bodies.
Coach Knox explained that this was
a good method of keeping fit and in
good shape.

Band Benefit Saturday
Let's not forget the Elks minstrel
this Saturday night in the high
school auditorium. This program is
for the benefit of the Heppner band
to help pay expenses for their trip
to Eugene, April 8th, where they
will compete in the state band con
test. -
They are going to do their best
toward winning the band contest,
thereby bringing honor to their
school and to the city of Heppner.
Cooperation will make this trip a
most pleasant and successful one.

It seems as though Alan Gibb has
changed his nickname from "Scotty"
to "The Chicken Scotchman," a
very appropriate title.

Bill Browning and Laura War
field are learning a new technique

Many students have been wonder
ing what Manine and "Punchy" did
over the week end?
We have heard rumors to the ef

track practice at night. The walk
from Mccarty's to Barratt's ought
to keep anyone in good condition
It seems as though there is a lit
tie misunderstanding between Nor

the effects of spring. Don't forget
girls all is fair in love and war.

H.H.S.
Change in Band Contest
The fact that the school band is
preparing to embark for the state
band contest at Eugene is a secret
to a very few of us. Neither is it a
secret to competing bands that the
Heppner band is "the band to beat,"
as it is likely to supply some fairly
high class competition such as has
been proved in the past two years,
Heppner having taken first in both
consecutive contests.
This year's contest is apt to be one
which will test the band's capability
to the utmost, mostly due to more
severe competition. The placement
of the band from the class D divis
ion to class C will mean that it will
compete with bands of larger schools
and, subsequently, bigger and better
bands. .. .

PINTO-POINTS
Inaugurating a new system, no
tennis player, who is of the mascu
line nature, will be permitted in the
boys dressing rooms of the gymna
sium unless track or baseball men
are using the dressing compartments
tennis players will also be ex
cluded on Saturdays and Sundays
or on other days during which school
is not in session . . . the purpose of
this is to keep unthoughtful ones
from cavorting around in the dress
ing rooms and doing things deemed
unwise and improper . . . downstairs
. . . the auditorium entrance hall
will be open to all tennis enthusiasts
as a drinking fountain and rest
rooms are avai'abb here ... the
door at the south side of the gym
will be left ajar on non-school days,
so that no one will be locked out of
this part of the gym when he wants
in ... . anyone who takes advantagi
of this privilege and abuses the
equipment will be deprived of his
right to use the gymnasium for this
newly-provided purpose ... as
matter of security for all valuables
inside the gym, the last person to
leave the tennis court is asked to
shut the door, which will always
be locked but left open when the
courts are being used, so all that is
necessary, to keep someone from
breaking in is to push the door shut
it locks itself automatically.
A man by the name of John War.
ren, more widely known as "Hon
est John," freshman football, base
ball, and basketball coach at the
University of Oregon, hit town last
Thursday evening and left the fol
lowing morning after interviewing
Van Marter, local boy, who is fig
ured as a possible college football
prospect ... the outcome of the
conversation was most enlightening
to both Warren and Van Marter, for
the former is on a scouting tour of
eastern Oregon for football talent
for the University, and the latter.
rated as some of that talent, will
probably enter the Webfoot institu
tion next fall, with a berth on the
Frosh football squad his ultimate
objective.
Since track season is starting into
full swing, John Crawford, a junior
baseball turn-out, chose as his sub
ject for a health class report one
pertaining to training rules . . . im
mediately the contention arose that
young Crawford was hardly an au
thority on the subject, at least from
reports concerning his adherence to
training regulations during the re
cently moth-balled basketball sea
son . . . however, his lecture proved
to be both instructive and entertain
mg, mostly the latter . . . Johnny
suggests that a track man take
easy for the first week and above
all, "Lay off the sweets," which the
class took more than literally. To
put a finish to his discussion, inas
much as victuals were concerned,
Crawford remarked, "Don't drink
any fried foods."
The rapid growth of tennis as a
spring sport in the local high school
has made it a difficult proposition
to gain a playing spot on the courts
. both , tennis arenas are always
in use whenever someone finds spare
time to play the popular game .
a high school tennis team with Mr,
Blankenship assisting as coach, will
probably be organized within the
very near future, with everyone in
school eligible for a squad position,
This week s surprise tennis racquet
wielder . . . Spencer Crawford,
chairman of the District 1 school
board . '. . for a man who had not
played for several years his game
was most encouraging to the young
er set who witnessed the public
demonstration of his heretofore hid
den abilities.
