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.

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.

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.
