Sunday, Dec. 18, Grande School Band Program. Students Attend Conference Eleven Heppner high school stu dents helped to make up the one hundred and fifty-five representa tives of 21 high schools of Umatilla, Morrow, Grant, Baker, Union and Wallowa counties at the second an nual student conference, Friday, Dec. 9, to which Pendleton was host. The morning's program consisted of interclass debate by Pendleton high school students. Following reg istration in the afternoon, the regu lar sessions of the conference were held at the Vert Little theater, with Marion Hughes, Pendleton student body president, presiding. This was followed by a dinner at the high school cafeteria. Events for the eve ning included the Hermiston-Pen-dleton basketball game and an all school "mixer" dance, at which del egates were guests. Discussions were held on topics of particular interest to high school students, such as athletics, music, journalism, dramatics, and social ac tivities. Heppner and La Grande were assigned to lead the music dis cussions in connection with their championship bands. Delegates from other schools were found ready and willing to rise and explain solutions to various problems which they had encountered and offered these so lutions for the benefit of those schools whose problems remain to be solved. Typical discussions rang ed from the arousal of student inter est in the activities to gaining pub lic cooperation, including novel methods for advertising and carry ing out activities. Delegates from Heppner high school included Shir ley Wilson, Harold Armstrong, Rich ard Hayes, Jeanette Blakely, Doro thy Howell, Kemp Dick, Bud Blake ly, Dick Bogoger, John Crawford, Omer McCaleb and Bill Barratt. Student Participation in Basketball Games The students of this school have a very poor cooperative spirit. They sit in the assembly hall and listen to the announcements about the coming game, and as they listen they say to themselves, "I'm going to that," but five minutes later they've forgotten about it. Of course, all the students can't go to the games out of town, but the home games should bring them out in full force. At the last game and the game be fore it, there were about twenty stu dents, out of a possible fifty or sixty that could come. There have been pep talks, pep assemblies, and every other sort of thing that could be thought of h&s been tried, but the students do not seem to know what is being said or done. The members of the Pep club, or any other group that is trying to get the students aroused enough to at tend the games, should stay up nights if necessary in order to think of something that will bring out the basketball fans in force. Heppner GAS HOUSE GOSSIP By JOE AIKEN In the Fossil game the locals start ed off with an early bid for points after the first few minutes of play, when Coxen broke in for the first two points. The Mustangs led for the first half, two points ahead. But after the third quarter, the Falcons evened up the score, and it looked like a tie game. But Coxen sank two more tallies with O'Donnell adding another basket. Prindel tallied with a basket seconds before the final whistle. The total score, 28 to 25, alone speaks for itself. Those who Tailed to attend missed the game of the year so far, and it is an even guess that such a game will not be witnessed in a long time. The "B" squad game proved to be, more or less, a set up, as the local squad took their invaders with com parative ease. With two good wins upon the score sheet, Heppner goes to Hermiston Dec. 17, to meet them in the annual battle of a home-and-home series. They meet Hermiston at an advant age as Hermiston has lost several games thus far in the season. Her miston lost valuable men when Ran kin, Keller and Marble graduated last spring. Heppner has won two games out of two played, which gives them a thousand per cent for the season so far. Upon the following Monday, the locals will still be on the road when they meet Pendleton upon Pendta ton's home court. This is the first game in four years between Hepp ner and Pendleton. The game is be tween the Heppner "A" squad and the Pendleton "B" squad in the ju nior high gymnasium. Two wins puts the local team in the upper bracket with Arlington, who won from Condon in the "A" league. Condon, Fossil, Arlington and Heppner make up the "A" lea gue. In the a league, Irngon, Lexington, and Umatilla. The winner from each league wil play a game to decide the champion of the U. C. A. L. From almost a pre-season pre diction it looks best for Irrigon in the "B" and Heppner in the "A." Last week the football lads re ceived their letters, twenty boys in all, (not counting the manager, of course) ten of them seniors. This leaves the team without two guards, one tackle, a center, quarterback, halfback, fullback, and end. For a drawing card there will be a regu lar boxing bout each evening be tween halves and between games This may prove to be interesting as it goes along. Here and Yon Gerald Keller, the all-star bas ketbal player from Hermiston, is on the Pacific university traveling squad. Howard Patton, the lad who leads the boxing team, has recovered from a broken hand and has been working out lightly. The local F. F. A. chapter invested in a punching bag for the chapter's boxing team. The clattering heard in the gym basement is the bag being used. It is rumored that the Condon F. F. A. boxing team is set for the match with Heppner, as they have been training steadily for two months.
