Basketball Again '
Now that the football season is
over, the students and townspeople
are looking forward to the first bas
ketball game. Regular basketball
practice was started officially last
Wednesday. Before that a number of
the boys had been playing around on
the floor.
The turn-out is very large, con
sisting of twenty-five to thirty play
ers, with six returning lettermen.
The lettermen are Joe Aiken, Milton
Morgan, Emery Coxen, Douglas
Drake, Bill Barratt and Harry O'
Donnell. f
The football season was a success.
There were a certain number of
townspeople who helped to make it
so. Let's see all of you townspeople
at the first game and for the rest
of the season to make it more suc
cessful than the football season.
Fire Protection
Since tickets are now on sale for
the local firemen's ball, perhaps
it is fitting to think of what we owe
the local fire department. The ball
is called for December 10, and is to
raise money for use in buying coats
and hats for the volunteer laddies.
You remember the old proverb:
"You never miss the water till the
well runs dry." So it is with the fire
department. We never miss them un
til we have a fire.
Well, we should remember, how
ever, the laundry fire, when the
firemen so effectively kept damages
at a minimum, though loss could
have been great. Let us all show
our appreciation by buying a ticket
to the annual firemen's ball. Who
knows, it may be our house next!
Are You Thankful?
As this is Thanksgiving, have you
stopped and considered the true
meaning of the word Thanksgiving?
If not, here are a few suggestions.
Divide the word into thanks and
giving, which would mean thanks
for giving. Some may think they
have little to be thankful for, but
we have food, clothing, shelter; in
fact there is no end to what we
should be thankful for. Perhaps you
haven't as much as others; but may
be if you were thankful, you could
have more. Remember, you get in
return for what you give. .
Meet at Pendleton
Friday, December 9, Pendleton
high school is holding a student gov
ernment council. The general topics
for discussion at the conference will
pertain to the student activity pro
gram. This topic should be of in
terest to every high school. It is
thought that it will be especially
worth while to hear representatives
of high schools which have had
marked success in such activities as
athletics, dramatics, journalism, de
bate, and music. These will be dis
cussed so as to be of benefit for all
attending. Rooms and breakfast for
delegates to the conference will be
provided in the homes of Pendleton
high school students for those who
wish it. Heppner high school has
received an invitation to participate
in this student activity program.
Football Banquet-Dance Success
One of the social high-lights of
the year, the annual football ban
quet and dance, took place last Fri
day evening. The girls of the Home
Economics club were hostesses to
the football boys and the faculty at
one of the best banquets in the his
tory of good old H. H. S. The new
dining room in the basement of the
school house, where the banquet
was held, was tastefully and cheer
fully deorated.
Coach Knox did the honors as
toastmaster. In his opening remarks
he complimented the boys on their
season and the spirit in which they
played. Emery Coxen, team captain;
made a few remarks concerning the
past season. The team manager,
Robert Scrivner, told of some of the
humorous incidents that took place
on some of the trips. Mr. Peavy,
our predictor of scores, made an in
teresting talk on the value of com
parative scores in predicting the
outcome of games. Mr. Blankenship,
school superintendent, gave a short
talk about the success of the season.
The diners were entertained dur
ing the banquet by a short pro
gram. Kay Thompson started the
ball rolling with a humorous read
ing. Dick Bogoger followed with a
smooth rendition of "Silver on the
Sage." Last, but far from least, on
the program was a piano duet by
Jeanette Blakely and Dorothy How
ell. One of the best dances of the year
was held in the gymnasium after
the banquet. The lights of the gym
were dimmed, and a large football
in the center of the floor gave the
proper atmosphere. The music was
excellent. Those who played were
Mr. Peavy at the piano, Buzz Fur
long on the drums, Andy Davidson
on the saxophone, Gerald Cason on
the trumpet, and Charlie Davidson
on the guitar.
There was a short program dur
ing intermission consisting of songs
by Dick Bogoger, Pat Dooley and
Lucille Barlow. Many students tried
their hand at the Lambeth Walk,
while Lucille Barlow sang the song,
accompanied by Mr. Peavy.
Main Annual Staff Chosen
Last week the student council se
lected Frances McCarty editor of
the annual; Betty Robinson, assist
ant editor; Bob Scrivner, business
manager; Don Jones, assistant bus
iness manager. They will have their
first meeting next week to select
the rest of the staff.
Band to Give Concert
On the evening of the 21st of De
cember, the Heppner school band
will give a 45-minute concert in
connection with the Christmas pro
gram to be given under the super
vision of Miss Forsythe, the sixth
grade instructor. This will consist
of marches and overtures, in addi
tion to Christmas pieces, which will
add to the spirit of the occasion.
Club and Class Meetings
At the H club meeting the mem
bers discussed the initiation, Decem
ber program, and other committee
reports.
The F.F.A. voted to buy a punch
ing bag and swivel to practice on
for the coming smoker with Condon.
Senior class voted to have caps
and gowns for graduation.
Freshmen decided to have group
guidance every week and were to
decide on the different topics they
wanted to discuss this week.
Greater Support for Athletic Events
Everyone who has attended Hepp
ner's basketball, football, and base
ball games has been surprised at
the small crowds present The stu
dents don't cooperate and get be
hind their teams.
Everyone has noticed that very
few tickets are soldi to the town
people by the students when a ticket
sale is on. School spirit seems to be
lacking in all high school activities.
There are a few persons who do all
the work, support all games, and try
to get other people interested. The
students who don't care about games
don't like to help because of the
work should be waking up and try
ing to support the activities. The
activities are all sponsored for their
benefit, and the least they can do is
help advertise and attend themselves.
Holidays Arrive
Once again the students are look
ing forward to a joyous four-day
vacation from school. Much excite
ment is caused by different turkey
dinners that some will participate
in, while others are more concerned
about their six-weeks' grades, and
yet others are much more excited
about the dance.
GAS HOUSE GOSSIP
By JOE AIKEN
hTe first call for basketball turn
outs was sounded last Wednesday.
If turn-outs mean anything, Hepp
ner should have one of the best
teams in years. With a possible 26
boys out regularly, Coach Knox
plans to make two squads. The "B"
squad is made Up of frosh and soph
omores, exclusively. The "A" squad
is made up of juniors and seniors,
and the outstanding lower-classmen.
This system is to be inaugurated
definitely after the fundamentals
have been mastered. This will mean
that the "B" squad will be separate
from the "A" and have a separate
schedule.
The "A" squad has bright out
looks as there are six lettermen
back from last year. They are Em
ery Coxen, Douglas Drake, Milton
Morgan, Harry O'Donnell, Joe Aik
en, and Bill Barratt Along with
these lads, are four transfers: Bob
Applegate, Dick Bogoger, Lee Pet
tyjohn, and Howard Wray. Besides
these boys, there are many other
candidates who with experience
should do much to help the team
along.
The lads out for the "B" squad
are Dub Aiken, Kay Ferguson, Jack
Vaughn, Hugh Crawford, Norval
Osborne, Don Evans, Don Bennett,
Bill Scrivner, and Claude Snow.
It seems that several schools think
they have established a record for
the state B football league. Halfway
claims an undefeated season. We
know it to be a fact that John Day
has been defeated twice, once by
Burns and once by Baker. Heppner
also claims to have a top ranking
football team in the state, which is
evident, as they have scored more
points than the other teams, and
have been scored on less than these
shools. But one could argue and
write records such as this indefin
itely but the only way of finding out
who is the champion would be to
have a play-off of some type.
There should be some 'method of
deciding which team is the best, as
it would promote a more competitive
sport, offer more interest, and would
be of more financial benefit.
Since everyone is interested in the
football team, its defeats and victor
ies, it seems ' only natural that the
sports fans should be interested in
the financial outcome of the season.
Letters, $9.00; transportation costs,
$84.00; equipment, $159.50; total
$243.77. Total receipts, $231.85; def
icit, $20.92.
Last year the football season paid
off a large debt and paid for the
deficit for the basketball and base
ball seasons. This is a remarkable
contrast with that of this year. The
Arlington game this season drew
the largest gate, a $45 profit. Last
year the largest gate was the Her-
miston game, which netted $100 and
a profit of over $50.
Here and Yon
, Art McAtee, this year's strong
tackle, underwent a major opera
tion last week. He suffered the ex
traction of a molar.
The first basketball game of the
season for "Dea Old Heppna" will
take place Dec. 6 with lone, and
upon the following Friday, Decem
ber 10, the local ball hawkers will
play host to Fossil.
This year there will be a league
play-off the week before the sub
district tournament. The schools en
tered in the Upper Columbia Athletic
league are as follows: Arlington,
Condon (the winner last year), Fos
sil, and Heppner.
Pendleton has extended Heppner
an invitation to play their B team,
if possible on a home and home ba
sis. This isn't the A team; but it Is
Pendleton.

Washington game at Portland last

Freshmen Entertain
Our hats off to the mighty little
freshmen for one of the best assem
bly programs of the year, thus far.
Featured by their program was the
one-act comedy farce, "And the
Lamp Went Out" Timely sound ef
fects and excellent dramatizations
accounted for a successful presen
tation. Announcer Claude Snow in
troduced new talent in Lucille Bar
low and Connie Instone, who. gave
vocal solos, accompanied by Fran
ces Egan and Mary Emma Curran,
respectively. Calvin Crawford played
a solo on his baritone.
The freshman lass has been the
first to make creditable use of its
talent in these assembly programs;
the other three classes possess just
as good talent, only they are too
lazy to use it
Athletics for F.F.A.
The launching of a new athletic
program will be the objective of the
Heppner Future Farmers during the
next few days. The chapter has
authorized funds for the purchase
of a punching bag and other boxing
accessories. Besides boxing, the pro
gram includes a basketball team,
which is so far scheduled to play
two games with the Pendleton F.F.A.
If plans are carried out, the team
will also play Boardman, Arlington,
and Condon.
Humor
Dad went courting, slow but sure,
With buggy and with horse.
But when he hitched he hitched for
sure,
And thought not of divorce.
Bethal sat with a finger in one
ear during the Economics lecture.
When Mr. Blankenship asked for an
explanation, she said: "My mother
says everything anyone tells me
goes in one ear and out the other
and I want to remember this!"
Clara A.: "I wonder how old Miss
Smith is?"
Lois J.: "Quite old, I imagine; they
say she used to teach Caesar."
Austin: "Mom, this spaghetti re
minds me of football."
Mrs. McAtee: "How, son?"
Austin: "Always ten more yards
to go."
