Lef s Talk It Up
Perhaps you have wondered why
the lights have been on in the gym
until all hours of the night in the
past few weeks or what those no
tices on the blackboards and bul
letin boards have meant? Well, at
last the truth is out: the time for the
annual operetta has come.
Friday, the sixteenth of December,
some of the more enterprising stu
dents of Heppner high school are
presenting the comic operetta, "Ask
the Professor." These students have
gone to a lot of work, and from all
appearances their work is bearing
very fruitful results.
Now, here's where the rest of us
come in. Let's make the operetta a
financial success as well as an ar
tistic one. Many have been put on
before very small crowds. We can't
expect the townspeople to patronize
our performances unless we let them
know there is going to be one.
Next time you buy a milk shake
or a pair of socks, ask the person
who waits on you if he or she plans
on attending the operetta and give
some idea of what excellent enter
tainment it will be. If all the stu
dents do this from now until the
sixteenth, the gym will be packed.
So students, back your own per
' formances and let's make "Ask the
Professor" the biggest hit that ever
hit Heppner. We, the students of
H. H. S., are the ones who benefit if
the operetta is a success, so, for
gosh sakes, talk it up.
Heppner Girl to be Given Trip East
Each D. A. R. chapter in Oregon
sponsors one girl from a high school
in the state to be a candidate for a
free trip to Washington, D. C. in
April, 1939.
The Willamette chapter in Port
land has asked to sponsor a girl
from ' Heppner.
Four nominees for this honor were
made: Sibyl Howell, Helen Egan,
Bethal Blake, Frances McCarty.
Later on, the Heppner student
body will vote to decide which one
of these four girls will represent
Heppner high school.
Last Friday the Girls' League held
a meeting, which pertained mostly
to the discussion of careers, as each
girl had to answer roll call with
her expected career upon gradua
tion. Mrs. Lucy Rodgers also gave the
girls a very interesting talk on
careers.
The girls discussed what their
corning assembly would be, and
ginally decided they should have a
White Elephant auction. Boys, be
sure to bring your nickels and dimes
this Friday.

GAS HOUSE GOSSIP
By JOE AIKEN
Loaded with all the Thanksgiving
goodies, the local ball hawkers re
turned to regular practice upon the
maple court.
Unofficial practices were held Fri
day and Saturday, supervised by
Coach McKenzie. The fundamentals
have been practiced, and a system
is being worked upon. The lads back
from last year find it almost like
taking up where we left off last
year; but for the new lads, it is a
bit confusing, although they are
coming along fast.
The F. F. A. chapter is to sponsor
another smoker this year. It will be
between Condon and the local chap
ter, held at Condon. The lads have
been practicing throwing the leath
er for better than two weeks. The
leading boys who intend to enter
are John Lane, Dean Gilman, Don
Bennett, Floyd Williams and How
ard Patton. Howard is suffering
from a broken hand received from
boxing at the beginning of school.
Last year the chapter entered in
four smokers and lost one. They had
two with Condon and two with
Boardman. They were - beaten by
Boardman in the last engagement.
A basketball schedule has been
made, consisting mainly of the
schools which have appeared here
in the past year.
Schedule: Dec. 5, fone here; 9,
Fossil here; 17, Hermiston there.
Ja. 7,' Arlington there, 9, Lexington
here; 14, Fossil there; 20, Hermiston
here; 28, Condon there. Feb. 3, Ar
lington here; 7, lxington there; 10,
Condon here; 14, lone there.
Here and Yon '
The lads who have just earned
their letters are slowly being init
iated into the "H" club. This week
they are to wear one side of their
face shaved and the other side with
what they are able to raise.
The local police force has taken
up a side line of basketball. Homer
Hayes, constable, shot baskets in the
gym during vacation.
LaVern Van Marter has been
scrimmaging with the local basket
ball turn-outs for the past week.
Len Gilman enjoyed a pleasant
holiday vacation with his parents.
Len suffered a split tendon in his
back in the game between Pacific
university and Willamette.
Vernon Knowles, ex-Heppner star
guard, was telling the lads all about
college life last Thursday night at
the dance.
M. Tetz of Adams visited Heppner
last Saturday and Sunday. Adams
played their first game of the sea
son last Friday. They lost to Irrigon.
Mr. Tetz stated that Jones, the lad
who made last year's all star for Ir
rigon in the tournament, was the
key man. He accounted for twelve
points.
Mr. Peavy, local English teacher,
spent the holiday in the gym shoot
ing baskets.
Dick Bogoger spent the holidays
in Portland with his parents.
The goal posts still remain upon
the local gridiron. They should be
put away for the winter, as these
posts cost money, and if they are
broken up it will be more expense
for the student body.
Vacation Happenings
Frances McCarty, Clarabelle Ad
ams, Betty Happold, Bob Scrivner,
Mr. Peavy, John and Calvin Craw
ford were among those attending

Portland, Saturday.

giving vacation at home were Har
riet Hager, Norton King, Nancy Cox,
Paul McCarty, La Verne Van Mar
ter, Maxine McCurdy and Len Gil
man. Sibyl and Dorothy Howell and

Friday night at a surprise party
honoring La Verne Van Marter.

tended the Elks Thanksgiving dance,
Thursday night, and Rhea creek
dance, Saturday.
Dick Bogoger spent Thanksgiving
vacation at the home of his parents
in Portland.
' Bob Pinckney spent the holiday
vacation in Spokane.
Hither and Thither
At least Thomas and Kemp have
one consolation they have Dorothy
to themselves during band period.
Annie has changed her mind
again. How about it, Clayton?
Can't you just picture some of
our high school boys moving wood
from in front of the restaurant
door? Beware of night cops, boys.
The redheads are at it again. At
least, Kathryn Thompson and Doug
las Drake are hitting it off pretty
good.
It's humored that Emery has a
very special date with Bethal for
the Firemen's ball.
Grandpa Stone seems to have a
very special weakness for redheads
now. Don Evans must have lost his
grip
Betty Robinson took Harry C
Donnell to the dance Wednesday
night, (or vice versa).
The axiom, "old flames never die,"
proved to be founded on facts, judg
ing by the way some sophomore
boys came down with extreme fever
and rapid pulse when the Thanks
giving vacation rolled around. (Col
lege temporarily adjourned.)
ONE YEAR AGO
Taps were blown upon Heppner
high's football season at a banquet

from Oregon high schools."
The Heppner grade school gave a
fine program, which surprised the
local townspeople.
Boy Scouts plan on building a
summer camp.
Humor
Dorothy: "What'll we do tonight?"
Bob Applegate: "Let's think it
over."
Dorothy: "No, let's do something
you can do, too."
Lowell Ashbaugh: "If you don't
mind, Til be skipping on my merry
way, Norma."
Norma Prock: "Say, what kind of
monkey business are you up to,
now?"
Don Jones: "Well' Jack, how did
you get by in your exams?"
Jack Merrill: "Must have been
that end run in the last quarter."
Austin? "I once ran into a flock
of geese while doing seventy miles
an hour."
Clifford Fay: "I'll bet you were
scared."
Austin: "No, but I was covered
with gooseflesh."
Mr. Knox: "What's the formula
for water?"
John Crawford: "H20."
Mr; Knox: "Right! Now tell me
the formula for sea water."
J. C: "CH20."
Mrs. Clark: "What are the two
genders?"
Bob Scrivner: "Masculine and
feminine. The feminine are divided
into frigid and torrid; the masiu
line, into temperate and intemper
ate." "
Mr. Bennett: "I have to perform
an operation on a nose."
Miss Smith: "Oh, are you a sur
geon?" Mr. B.: "No, I'm the father of a
'small boy who never has a hand
kerchief. When a boy won't look sideways
at a girl, it's because the conceited
thing knows his full face is hand
somer than his profile.
Social Hour Enlivened
The Grand March and three new
musical hits were inaugurated into
the fifth social hour of the year.
A livelier group of students than
usual added to its success.
Donations to the "little tin box"
at that time have made it possible
to have four new records for the
next social hour. Students attend
ing named and voted on the rec
ords they wished to be bought.
The social hours will not be al
together successful until a larger and
more regular attendance is estab
lished. There has been a rumor of
refreshments for the next time.
Student Opinion on Swing Music
Betty Happold It's alright if you
can really swing to it.
Art McAtee I could do better on
my bazzoka.
Joe Aiken Not for fleshy people.
Thomas Gonty Okay.
Andy Davidson It's O. K., if it's
played right.
Bill Blake Gets on my nerves.
Frances McCarty Desecration of
the finer arts.
FFA Activities
A regular meeting was held in
the chapter room last Wednesday
afternoon. There was some discus
sion on a smoker and basketball
