School Improvements Many
During the summer vacation there
were many changes made for the
improvement of school surroundings.
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,

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 . . .

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.
