One of the important changes was that of the lunchroom. First there was a new concrete floor laid, with double partitions separating it from the rest of the basement. There were two windows put in and two doors, one opening from the east and one opening from the north. This lm Movement will be of a two fold value as this room will also be used as the school social hall. It will be very nice in this respect also as the students have been used to a very small social hall room in the past. Another improvement was that of the lighting system. In all of the rooms in the grade school and in three rooms upstairs the lighting system was all changed to the semi indirect type. This completed the relighting of the entire building, part of which was done last year. There were many changes made in the Home Economics department to make things more convenient to work with. One of the needed im provements was that of the install ing of a new refrigerator, which will allow more activity in the Home Ec onomics cooking ' department. The high school library was all redone in green, and in order for the library to accommodate more pupils, a new table and several chairs were added. Another improvement that helps the looks of our surroundings is the refinishing of all the desks in the school Faculty Activities Mr. Peavy left for vacation at Cor- vallis. After he got back he was seen shooting at a sign on an electric light pole across the street. When he wasn't doing this, he was taking a sun-bath in the front yard. Miss Nordstrom went back home to Burksville, Ore., about 48 miles from Astoria. She taught 4-H sum mer school at Corvallis and took care of 260 girls in Waldo hall. Miss Smith had quite a time this summer, one attendee, summer school for six weeks beginning June 20 and ending the last of July. After that she went to the coast, back to Eugene, then home to Hillsboro. Mr. Blankenship attended summer school at the University of Wash ington after which he and his fam ily went on a vacation around the Olympic peninsula and to the Ohna neposch hot springs near Mt. Rainier, New Students Numerous Heppner high school is honored by having a large enrollment of new students. They are from far and near as follows: Helen and Frances Egan of Condon high school, Dorothy and Lucille Green of Eightmile, Ruby Swan, also from Eightmile, Colleen Mahon from Madison, Helen Lun dell from lone high school, Caro line McRoberts from Kuna, Idaho Bob Applegate from Union high school, Howard Wray from Los An geles, Calif., Lee Petyjohn and Roy Pettyjohn, both of lone high school, Dick Bogoger of Portland, and last but not least, John Lane from our close neighbor, Lexington. Heppner GAS HOUSE GOSSIP The author hopes to make this col umn permanent in the high school Hehisch, and also hopes it will sup plant Pinto-Points. It's purpose is two-fold: To develop school interest and help those who are slackening. There is no malicious intent involved and it should not be taken at fade value, although at times it may be worth its face value. This year has the outlook of being the biggest and best football season for 'deah old Heppna in many a year. With twenty-five boys turn ing out regularly every night a strong team is in prospect. With two strong teams battling around the field, competition is keen. Confiden tially, one team lis just about as strong as the other. Here in this corner we have the prospective line-up for the Heppner football team. At ends, we have Vance and Drake, with Barratt a sub; tackle, McAtee and Applegate, with Fay a sub; guards, we have Arm strong and Patton, with Aiken as sub; our guess is that Hayes will center, with Crawford as sub; back field men are plentiful, with Gilman at right half and Merrill subbing; Coxen at left, with Morgan subbing; Pettyjohn as fullback and Bogoger at quarter. This year brought many transfers from near and afar. We see Bogoger was to be potential signal-barking quarterback at Grant of Portland. The little boy weighs in at 145, and from what we've seen, he has what it takes. From Union comes a big husky that played second string tackle for Baker last year Bob Ap plegate. He has one foot in left tackle position . . . From a school closer to home, we have Lee Petty john who will fill the bill for full back. The football team at Heppner high has a very favorable out-look upon the coming season. The first game of the season is with Fossil. Heppner was held to a tie game, 6 to 6, last year. Yours truly predicts a score of 18 to 0 in favor of Hepp ner, without allowing for the fact that the boys my decide to play tiddley-winks. , Here and Yon ... A certain indi vidual wearing a letterman's sweater with a double stripe on it will feel very small if things turned out so he didn't make his advertised sec ond letter ... an article appeared in one of the daily papers distributed in Heppner stating that Hermiston was planning on having athletic in surance, which will be very helpful in case of injury. The footbll schedule this year in cludes a game with Touchet and one here with Joseph. In schedul ing games such as these, it givfes us a wider choice for selection next year. Late this summer one bright morn ing two boys decided to run the 220, The loser was that well known dis tance runner Speed Demon Dick. Can you imagine . . . Football Schedule ' Fossil here September 23 Joseph here September 30 Arlington there October 7 Condon here October 15 Touchet there October 21 Condon here October 28 Hermiston there November 11 Summer Happenings In general the occurrences of the summer were as follows: Laundry burned down, several grass fires threatened crops, Heppner held its annual rodeo, and the policemen have new uniforms. A more complete study of the sea son's highlights as viewed by an out of-town student . . . most important seems to be that our town marshals are wearing uniforms, which make them easily discernable at a distance, Also, it improves the appearance of the city in general to have neatly uniformed officers ... an event of the late summer was the Rodeo, which increased the business in some of the town's establishments by a good margin. Some of the city dry goods stores also found a fair increase in business, as did the gro cery concerns. These are the most important facts concerning the cele bration; another Rodeo item is that Herb Owens won first place in the bucking contest, a fact overlooked by many of the business men . before Rodeo the laundry burned. foundation and all, including val Gazette Times, Heppner, uable machinery and last but not least, a whole lot of laundry. Pre ceding this was the complete des truction by fire of the Wightman dairy, located just outside the city limits. Humor A freshman girl was chewing gum in school. It was against the rule, So Mr. Knox took it away from her And chewed it after school. Mr. Bennett (in Ag): "Come on, Til show you how to milk a cow." Bob Scrivner (a new student): "Maybe I'd better start on a calf." There hidden, sitting in the swing in the moonlight alone. No word broke the stillness for half an hour until "Suppose you had money," she said, "what would you do?" He threw out his chest in all the glory of manhood. "I'd travel!" He felt her warm young hand slide into his. When he looked up she was gone. In his hand was a nickel! Bethal Blake: "My face is my fortune." Joe Aiken: "Well, never mind that; the richest people aren't always the happiest." Emery Coxen: "Everything seems brighter after I've been out with you." Mary Eleanor Florence: "It should you never go home till morning." Lowell Ashbaugh: "Ha! It is mid night, the moment when miracles happen." Katherine Thompson: "I think" Lowell: "There, didn't I tell you!" Employer: "You can't ask for a raise like that! You must work your self up.'.' Office Boy: "But I have, sir. I'm trembling all over!" Before I heard the doctors tell The dangers of a kiss, I had considered kissing you, The nearest thing to bliss, v But now I know biology, And sit and sigh and moan. Six million mad bacteria And I thought we were alone. Said father skunk to the little skunk: "If you don't behave, Til cut you off without a scent." Student Opinion on Dirndl Dresses Betty Robinson They look like a circus tent. Joe Aiken Too much room wast ed. Mr. Peavy Never saw one. Omer McCaleb Streamline effects. Bethal Blake They bring out the curves. Bob Scrivner All right on the right person. Shirley Wilson Too much ma terial. Carolyn Vaughn Very becoming to certain types. New Equipment Purchased The boys turning out for football this year will have the benefit of good equipment. The few new suits bought this year make it possible for Heppner to furnish fifteen play' ers with modern equipment in good condition. Also the first fifteen play ers on the squad will have new pur pie jerseys to wear in practice. The dressing room in the basement of the gym has been cleaned and the shower room painted a beautiful silver. Baskets have been placed in the locker room, making it much easier for the manager to hand out uni forms. It is only right that the football team should be well equipped, as this is the only sport that pays for itself. In fact, football paid most of the basketball and baseball expenses last year, besides helping to bring the student body out of the red. Six-Period Day Advantage A student stimulator and a teach ers' blessing is the change in sched ule for high school this year. A six period day with an hour for each period replaces the former seven period day. This system leaves only enough time for the regular four classes, an hour for band rehearsal, and a per iod for health, music or physical education. Some students have no study halls at all, but most of them have one Oregon or two, which they can easily use in doing their school work. This change in system seems to be very favorable, in that there are no more rowdy, crowded study halls to disturb the remainder of the school, and there is less worry for the teachers. Soon there is expect ed to be a much more studious at mosphere throughout Heppner high school. Results of Class Elections The freshmen, sophomores and juniors held their class elections this week. Freshman officers are as fol lows: President, Claud Snow; vice- president, John Skuzeski; secretary- treasurer, Constance Instone; ser-geant-at-arms, Bob Pinckney.

L. Sweek here Saturday. Terms of the porbation were that Ulrich was to abstain from intoxicating liquors of all kinds and to avoid the company of drunks and law breakers, and report to Frank C.
