Let's Make the Best of It
How many of you have been con
fronted with the statement: "Your
high school days will be the hap
piest days of your life"? Looking
back a probable twenty years, when
your parents were looking forward
to what we now call a hard-earned
diploma, we are inclined to believe
that times were much happier thin
than they are now. If you will but
take time to look through various
memory books of your parents, you
can easily find remnants and re
minders of happy days gone by.
Should we be inclined to question
the above statement, these collec
tions of memories should serve as
sufficient evidence to prove that to
them high school was the happiest
part of their lives. No doubt they
had burdens such as ours, but still
they also exercised the partly ne
glected social life that should be in
cluded in a high schood education.
This might be a solution to the pop
ular phrase, "I wish school was out."
They probably realized that the
largest part of their youth would be
spent in school and undertook to
make the best of it.
Are we making the best of our
youth and taking advantage of every
opportunity that might offer in
school and social life? Are we going
to have a memory book filled with a
collection of reminders that will
bring back in our old age the night
of "the Junior Prom," etc.? Prob
ably not.
Why then, can't we organize and
abide by some program that will
tend to prepare us for a not too dis
tant future in which the drudgeries
will greatly overshadow the drudg
eries that supposedly make up our
school life.

Band Benefit Success
The minstrel and Elks' dance giv
en last Saturday night for the pur
pose of raising funds to finance the
fifty-piece school band to the state
contest at Eugene proved to be a
remarkable success.
The five-hundred-mile trip to Eu
gene has proved to be a very costly
one in former years, and this year,
because of the increased size of the
band, it was necessary to raise some
three hundred dollars to pay for
transportation to the university city
The people of Heppner and sur
rounding communities showed a tre
mendous amount of enthusiasm in
their effort to aid the band. This was
evidenced by their attendance at
the Elks' performance and at the
dance.
H.H.S.
Band Plays at Benefit Dance
Last Saturday night at the Elks
hall the Heppner school band made
a public appearance, playing their
numbers for the state band contest
held at Eugene this Friday and Sat
urday. A baritone solo was played
by Hugh Crawford, who is compet
ing as a soloist Friday.
The school wishes you, the mem
bers of the band, the best of luck
and hope you bring home the high
honor again this year.

Grade School News
The fifth grade has elected the fol
lowing officers: President, Raymond
French: vice-president. Glen Mc-
Murtry: secretary, Leora Ewing
treasurer, Mary Lou Ferguson; ser
geant at arms, Patricia Kenny; re-
Dorter. Jean Turner.
The fifth grade pupils have drawn
a large map, six by eight feet.

Baseball Team Loses Practice Game
With a few nights' practice under
thpir belts, the Heppner baseball
Heppner
team looks like a different aggrega
tion. They were so much improved
that a combination of ex-H. H. S.
stars, town team players, and a cou
ple of high school students were
able to beat them only in a last inn
ing rally, 7 to 5.
Floyd Wiliams started the game
with a home run over the center
fielder's head off Van Marter, pitch
er for the opponents. Coxen also got
a four-bagger in the third. As yet
the pitching staff is rather weak but
is getting stronger all along with
Worden developing some control for
his speed ball. Douglas Drake is com
ing along nicely, with not so much
speed but plenty of control and a
nice curve.
At present Heppner is much
stronger offensively than defensive
ly, but before the season is over this
situation will probably be reversed,
due to the natural fielding ability of
the infielders, all of whom but one
are out for the first time.
The first game of the season will
be against the veteran Arlington
Honkers on the fifteenth of this
month at Arlington. By that time the
Mustangs should be functioning
smoothly and should give a good
account of themselves.
