Omer Mc Caleb Operetta Bob Scrivner Unfortunate Oversight The director of the operetta wishes to explain that the omitting of Dor othy Howell's name from the pro gram was by no means intentional, but a careless oversight. Perhaps no one person worked harder and more unselfishly than did Dorothy, and she is well deserving of public rec ognition. A good accompanist, such as she has proved to be, is an asset to any high school. Operetta a Success The operetta, "Ask the Professor," presented by the high school student body last Friday was both a dra matic and financial success. The total receipts were $96.20; the total expenses, $37.86; total profits $58.34. It is to be noted that this year's profits exceed those of last year by $35.00. To the junior class go the honors of selling more tickets than any oth er class in high school. To Mary Emma Curran goes the honor of sell ing more tickets than any other per son and also the cash award of $3.00. The Meaning of Christmas If Christmas meant no more than a vacation period from school and work, a time of exchanging gifts and visits, a time of feasting, it would be worth while. If this was Christ mas, we would hail it with joy. Christmas means more than that; at least it should, and does. The real Christmas spirit is the spirit of un selfishness, of sympathy, of good will, and of devotion to Him in whose name the festival is celebrated. So let us remember this in the coming week, and try to keep in mind the true meaning of Christ mas. Peering Into the Past Five Years Ago . . . Our local band held a concert in the gymnasium; a large crowd was present. . . . The high school students, entertained the grades with a program. It consisted of a quartet and two solos, plus a short skit. Ten Years Ago . . . The student body held an assembly, discussing their plans for Christmas. . . . The juniors put on their annual junior play. It proved to be very success ful Philandering Philosophies If men and money are not kept busy, they lose interest. An optimist is a guy who writes his chemistry equations in ink. When in Rome, do as Mussolini says. It is not wise to be wiser than is necessary. Even a fool may shine in high places, if he refrains from talking. Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. It is better to give than to lend and it costs about the same. Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them, the rest of us could not succeed. Following lines of least resist ance is what makes rivers and men crooked. A really gifted man is one who can ride on the handlebars of a bi cycle and still look important. Heppner GAS HOUSE GOSSIP By JOE AIKEN The locals neatly tucked a loss under their belts, suffered at the hands of the Hermiston Bulldogs. Heppner has never won a game in the new Hermiston gym, which has been in operation for three years. Many excuses may be offered; however, the facts reveal that Hepp ner played a game unbecoming to an experienced team like the Mus tangs. Even the best of teams can not win all their games. Possibly after we have been upon the road for a week or two, the lads will be over the early-season jitters. Heppner stepped into an early lead over Hermiston, as the score was 6 to 2 at the end of the initial quarter, and 9 to 6 at the half. The first half featured little floor play but plenty of jump balls and fouls, as you might have guessed by the score The seocnd half showed neither team better as far as jitters was con cerned. From the third period on, it was Hermiston's ball game, hands down. Heppner had 12 gift shots to Hermiston's 19 gift shots. Heppner played Pendleton B squad Monday night upon Pendleton's home court, defeating the latter 34 to 22. The Mustangs jumped to an early lead, leading the Baby Bucks 10 to 6 at the half. Drake for Hepp. ner and Smith for Pendleton were high point men. When one goes to Hermiston, he hardly fails to notice the towns people's support of the high school functions. To two games played in one night, the crowd was almost three hundred unbelievable, but true. All the entertainment consist ed of one girls' game, a boys' game, and a snappy drill team during the half of the boys' game. The band furnished the music. This band was just organized this year, and is get ting better as it goes along. We sincerely congratulate the lo cal people upon their support at the recent operetta. A record crowd at tended, which made it a financial success. The thing which held the eye of the crowd at the Hermiston game was the snappy drill team which went on display during half period. It was composed of three drummers, dressed in white satin skirts and hats, and twelve girls, dressed in white skirts and yellow blouses. All these were led by a cute and snappy drum ma jorette. Another highlight was the girl basketball game between Hermiston and Stanfield. The interest shown in the girls' game was very high. Several students have said from time to time that this school should sponsor a boxing team. This is a novel idea, as the only way one can box is to join the F. F. A. or belong to the "H" club. This eliminates sev eral lads who are fairly good, who otherwise could enter in the activity. When, if it were a major sport, as it is in Portland and Mac Hi, letters should be awarded and an inter school competition be established. It might mean in due time that some fairly good men would be developed by just such steps. Here and Yon The most outstanding example of true sportsmanship was the time when number one school was play ing number two. Number 2 was up on number l's two -yard line and fourth down. The play was a line smash, and it looked as though the ball was over, but the ball was num ber l's, first and ten upon their own one-foot line. No. 1 took time out. In the huddle the lad who stopped the last play told the captain that the No. 2 lad was over but he pushed him back. The captain called a punt and stood in his own end zone. He received the pass from center but instead of kicking, he set the ball upon the ground and fell upon it, making the score No. 1, 0, and No. 2, 2. The final gun sounded, ending the game. A lad in some Washington school was high point man for both teams. He made 18 points for his own team, and two for the opposing. The final score was 24 to 2. Hither and Thither Do you suppose that one reason we lost the game could have been that Milton's thoughts were with a certain Oregon State girl? Don't look now, but the other day Gazette Times, Heppner, in school I heard Pete Stone mur muring "Fall in Love" over and over again to Caroline McRoberts. You had better take care of Pete, Con nit. He might go astray. We never thought that it would get to the point where Bill Barratt had to use the rear entrance to evade all his feminine admirers. This affair of Shirley and Wilbur's seems to be quite serious. Of course, Shirley, it is interesting to delve in to unknown and unexplored fields. Dubby doesn't mind the cold. He has a red-head to keep him warm. The editor seems to be playing cupid this week by pairing up cer tain well-known love teams. Now that the college boys are all home, the girls are all sitting around waiting for that Saturday night in vitation. Well, well, another freshman and senior romance. Congratulations, Dick; we all think Lucille is pretty nice. It's reminiscing time for Floyd Williams. He is bringing out all of his old souvenirs from Pendleton days. Lee Pettyjohn's face is still red from Saturday night. What's the matter, Laura. Don't you like butcher boys? Jack Healy only lives one block from Caroline, yet it takes him an awfully long time to get home. Humor To the carpenter: Let us emulate his plane living, his square dealing, ad his level headedness.

Margret DoolitUe I'm not famil iar with him. Harry O'Donnell He's alright if he brings anything. Donnie Bennett: I envy his whis kers. Bob Scrivner He's a swell old fellow. Art McAtee Doesn't come often enough. Be a Booster If you think your school the best, Tell 'em so. If you'd have it lead the rest, Help it grow. When there's anything to do, Let them always count on you You'll feel good when it is through Don't you know? If you are used to giving knocks, Change your style. Throw bouquets instead of rocks For a while. Let the other fellow roast, Shun him as you would a ghost; Meet his banter with a boast And a smile.
