Conclusion
To some students this is the hap
piest days of their entire high school
career; to others, it is not. For those
who have their future planned all
fine and good; to those who do not
well, it's hard to say. The remainder
of us, who have a few more years,
still have plenty to look forward to.
The seniors are left gazing out
into the wide world, in which they
shall now be playing a new role.
We hope these four years of their
high school have proven satisfactory,
so far as a life preparation is con
cerned. H.H.S.
Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom
Successful
The Junior-Senior banquet and
prom were held Saturday, May 14.
The banquet was held in the Parish
house; the prom, in the gymnasium.
The banquet .consisted of a ham
dinner with orange sherbert for des
sert. Place cards wer,e cleverly fixed
with small pieces of lilacs, which
held each card in place. The pro
gram consisted of the following:
Welcome, John Crawford; response,
Jack Healy; Superintendent. Mr.
Blankenship; violin solo, Laura War
field; remarks, Paul McCarty, Mrs.
Rodgers, Spencer Crawford, N. E.
Peavy; duet, Juanita Phelps, Har
riet Hager; senior class prophecy,
Robert Scrivner; senior class will,
Bertha Akers; presentation of key,
Jack Healy; acceptance, John Craw
ford.
The gymnasium was attractively
decorated as a garden. To aid in
carrying out this idea rock gardens
were constructed in two corners.
Colored lights were used as a means
of cutting off the ceiling lights. A
large moon, run on a pully served
for lighting during moonlight
waltzes. From the center of the gym
nasium hung a chandelier made of
lilacs.
The corner in which the orchestra,
Andy's Rhythmeers, sat was decor
ated to represent a flower garden
faced by a hedge.
During the intermission a short
program was given by members of
the faciilty, grade school and high
school, with Joe Aiken acting as the
master of ceremonies, as follows:
Song, Pat Dooley; tap dance, Mary
Lou and Ted Ferguson; imitations,
Mr. Peavy; violin sob, Laura War
field; song, Jack Merrill; piano solo,
Dorothy Howell; duet, Juanita
Phelps and Harriet Hager.

Fight Shown in Loss to Hermiston
Last Thursday saw a fighting
team that had increased in spirit so
much that it didn't look like the
same group of players. Although
Hermiston beat them 12 to 4, it was
a fight up to the end of the game
with lots of razzing and chatter that
can only make baseball what it is.
The highlight of the game came
came when Marvin Rankin laid a
homerun over the fence at right field
with the bases unloaded. John Craw
ford showed a new technique of
catching a ball on the run with one
hand in the face of a tail wind. The
odds against this particular catch
were about 100 to 1; consequently
everyone was pleasantly surprised.
Jack Merrill proved himself to be
the hardest hitter on the Heppner
team by obtaining a three bagger
in the fifth inning, and a single in
the first inning.
It is sincerely hoped that the local
people will be looking forward to
next season's athletic games as much
as the students are. From the sound
of the talk going around, the com
ing teams will be among the best put
out in years. This fact is probably
due to the coaching of Robert Knox,
whom the students are fortunate
enough to have back next year.

PINTO-POINTS
With this edition, comes the last
Pinto-Points that will be penned
under the banner of yours truly, and
the usual custom in a case where
the writer is to write his finale is to
produce a long farewell article; how
ever, as such writings are boresome
and often the source of illusion, it
would be proper and fitting to dis
pense with the previously described
type of sob story. But to compensate
somewhat, this writer has a bit of
advice that he would like to pass on
to his successor, should ' there be
one. There are a few facts of life
that your correspondent picked up
while travelling in connection with
high school sports, and it is his in
tention to present one or two of
them, perhaps for the benefit of the
next sports scribe, perhaps not.
1. Never offer your auto for trans
portation to a football game unless
you receive gas money from the
passengers before leaving for your
destination. If this advice is followed
contrarily, the trip will not make
expenses, and no money will be re
ceived, at least not enough just a
little personal item along this line,
one that is most painful when
brought to mind . . . this writer was
hooked on a similar deal last fall and
in doing so, contracted "assets-due"
amounting to $1.25 ... the cartwheel
and a quarter haven't arrived yet.
2. Use noiseless typewriters when
ever possible, else some disturbed
sleeper voice harsh, profane and ill
mannered words against your better
self.
3. Use words common in usage . . .
this writer was severely ridiculed
for placing one word in one issue of
the Gazette Times that couldn't be
found in the English book, even
Webster's famous, timely, widely
used publication.
4. Never stress training rules . . .
it won't do any good . . . two years
ago the local school baseball team
danced and enacted all other closely
related features until the wee hours
of the morning and then tried to
play ball that afternoon . . . "tried
to play" is just about the word for
it, nothing more and possibly less
. . . the reason for this specific ex
ample being used was to show the
effects it had . . . the Heppner team
had as its opponent the Fossil ball
club and the title at stake was the
championship of Morrow, Giliam
and Wheeler counties . . . Fossil
took the steak.
5. Mention occasionally the name
and doings of the athletically in
clined alumni who is thought, only
in his own estimation, however, that
he is making good after all.
6. Above all, "never write sports,
jointly run the high school motion
picture machine, act as apprentice in
operating the down-town cinema
projection outfit, hold a student
body office, and at the same time
carry five subjects ... it can be
done ... it can, but not properly.
The last sports ditties of the year
. . . the orchids of congratulations
this week go .to the tennis team and
its coach, Alden Blankenship . . .
starting out this year with the first
tennis team since 1917, the Mustang
net squad tied two matches, one
each with Pendleton and Hermiston,
and lost one to the latter . . . how
ever, the crowning glory came in
the tournament at Hermiston last
week . . . although the recent small
pox vaccinations put Hugh Craw
ford, bespectacled freshman star,
out of competition, two others,
Frances McCarty and La Verne Van
Marter, reached the finals . . . both
were tired in their title matches,
because after winning their matches
on the first day of the tournament,
they had to drive back to Heppner
with their coach . . . the next morn
ing at 6:30 the tennis ensemble again
pointed to Hermiston . . . both Mc
Carty and Van Marter won their
matches, but being at an disadvant
age because of the long trips they
had made, they lost out in the finals
. . . regardless, their showing is in
deed a credit to the school.
The trick shoulder that caused
him so much trouble in high school
when it put him out of football for
one season and basketball for part
of another has now pushed Don Tur
ner off the University of Oregon
freshman baseball team . . . while
scuffling with one of his housemates,
the latter happened to hit the ex
Heppner athletic star in just the
right spot and dislocated his shoul
der . . . the infirmary doctor told
him that if he had his shoulder taped
Gazette Times, Heppneiy
ud or placed in a cast on the numer
ous other occasions that he had dis
located it, instead of using his shoul
der, he would not be bothered with
it . . . the same physician advised
him to lay off baseball, and after
talking with John Warren, the coach,
he decided to quit, even though he
would probably earn his numerals,
sp Turner's college athletic career
has already received a set-back..
The best group of debaters in the
county live right here in Heppner,
and every night or so they get to
gether and play, as sort of a diver
sion from their daily business toil, a
game of softball. Instead of playing
ball, the players, spend a good share
of the time arguing over some tech
nical point of the game, and after
the point has been decided, someone
usually pulls out the rule book and
the issue starts over again.
Attention high school coaches .
Frank O'Neill has. resigned as coach
at Hermiston to take a similar po
sition at Scappoose . . . the job is
definitely open, as the school board
accepted his resignation last Tues
day . . . O'Neill's leaving for the val
ley will mean a good job for some
coach . . . perhaps the job itself
isn't the best in that line, but as
Hermiston generally has good ath
letic material, it will mean a valu
able reputation for the coach who
puts together a champion sport out
fit, and that "rep" comes in plenty
handy when big schools start look
ing for coaches.
