The School Paper
A school paper creates a school
spirit because it stands for the loy
alty and earnest effort that is put
into it.
The paper of a school is very val
uable to the students. It keeps them
informed of all things of current in
terest about the school. It gives an
nouncements which are important.
News of all the clubs and their
meetings and programs is given. All
of the school activities are written
up for the paper. There is news in
all fields of athletics.
A good paper gives our school a
good reputation. Many people out'
side of school and in other schools
in other towns read it. If it is well
written and displays the best thought
and work that we can possibly put
into it, they form a good opinion of
the paper, the school, and the stu
dent body.
A school of any size has a paper
or writes for a paper of that city or
county.
What would Heppner, with its 125
students, do without a paper? We
can hardly imagine how that would
be, but it has one and we are proud
of it.
Sour Grapes
Sour grapes fruit for green-eyed
monsters jealousy. Do you like
them? Nobody likes them. Yet, all
of us at times thrive on them.
It seems as if this character-des
troying influence grows on people
from infancy, even little children,
who are envious of their play
mates' possessions, scorn the things
which they can not have. They have
the feeling that so many of us ex
perience of wishing to destroy oth
ers pleasure in things because they,
themselves are unable to have them.
And it is not only material things
which are coveted. Traits of char
acter, athletic abilities, and indi
vidualistic actions are but a few of
the many things which some people
take pleasure in "running down,"
because they are unable to possess
them.
We should remember whenever
we see something which is impossi
ble to have, that even if we can't
have it, it is just as worthy of com
mendation; and when we stoop to
run it down," we are only detract
ing from our own good character and
making ourselves susceptible to
somebody's spiteful declaration of
Sour Grapes.

GAS HOUSE GOSSIP
By JOE AIKEN
It has been heard that if Arlington
lengthens their gym floor ten feet,
they will have the district tourna
ment there annually. They intend
to do this by eliminating the stage
at one end of the floor. This will
be an advantage for all concerned,
as Arlington has many accommoda
tions for visiting teams and supports
a tournament very. well. It also is
more centrally located than most
towns that would be entered in such
a tournament This leaves the sub-
district 13-B tournament to be held
at one of the other two places hav
ing the proper accommodations
namely, Fossil or Heppner. Fossil
was scheduled to have the tourna
ment there last year, but due to an
epidemic it was transferred upon
short notice to Heppner. This may
mean that Fossil will have it there
this year. The hope is that it will be
held there as the lack of support
makes it almost impossible to have
it here. As we have had it here many
times in the past, it seems only fair
that it be held some place besides
Heppner.
The local lads of the maple court
suffered defeat at the hands of Ar
lington, thus making a three-way
tie for the top step on the league
ladder; namely, Fossil, Arlington
and Heppner. This will be an in
teresting league to watch, as Hepp
ner was favored. Here is one to
figure out: Heppner defeated Fos
sil, Fossil defeated Arlington, and
Arlington defeated Heppner.
In the other league, Lexington
seems to be holding its own very
well, with Umatilla and Irrigon on
the two top steps. Lexington has
taken advantage of the fact that
most of their team is a hold-over
from last year, as they have but
one league game thus far in the
season. Potentially, Irrigon is the
best, as they have lost but one play
er by graduation. They stepped into
an early lead in the league and ap
pear to be holding it with compar
cftive ease.
Getting back to our own league, we
are, supposedly, the best, as we did
n't lose a player by graduation and
gained several new players. But
something is wrong, as we seem to
be losing the games we should be
winning. Strange, but true, Fossil
might be considered next to Hepp'
ner, as they lost few and have im
proved greatly. Condon and Arling
ton have suffered the most, as they
lost every one, with the exception of
a few reserves and are starting from
scratch, yet Arlington beat us.
Last Monday Heppner played its
second cross-league game, with Lex
ington. Lex had been planning weeks
ahead for the game, as they thought
they had a good chance of winning.
They took the lead over Heppner
and threatened to keep it, but be
fore the end of the first half, Hepp
ner took the lead and held it, al
thought Lex stayed close behind.
Boardman and lone seem to be at
the bottom of the Morrow county
B league, but time and practice may
find them at the top when the sea
son ends.
Here and Yon
The five best men in the B league,
according to yours truly, are as fol
lows: Jones, Irrigon; Campbell, Lex
ington; Hiatt, Umatilla; Skoubo.
Boardman, and Houghton, Irrigon
In the A league, Bowman, Arling
ton; Prindle, Fossil; Willis, Con
don; Baird, Fossil, and Coxen and
Barratt, Heppner. This, of course
is simply one person's opinion.
It seems the old question of train
ing is beginning to arise around the
local gym, as some of the boys are
not playing up to their ability.
The football boys received the five
gallons of ice cream promised them
by Claude Cox if they won over the
Arlington Honkers in the football
game.
Lexington issues student body
tickets to the townspeople. With
these tickets they enjoy the same
privileges as the students upon pre
senting these tickets at the ticket
window.
Showing Off in Public
Showing off is a bad habit; but
when it is done in public, it tends
to lessen the opinion that peopl
have of anyone doing it.
Most people, when they are show
ing off, do not realize how silly and
conspicuous they are making them
selves look. They are thinking only
Gazette Times, Heppner,
of catching the eyes of others and
trying to see how important they
can make themselves appear in the
eyes of others.
Those who show off in public may
be conceited or have an inferiority
complex and do things in public to
hide this that they otherwise would
not do if they did not have that par
ticluar trait
Some people talk a lot about oth
ers showing off in public, and then
they will do the same thing. It is
almost as bad to talk about others
as it is to show off in public. One
should ask himself if he is a victim
of either of the above listed.
Boxing Season Begins
The local high school boxing team
has started its training season for
coming smokers. The team is under
the guidance of Mr. Knox, who
coached the local team last year.
The first smoker will be with
Hermiston in the local gym. Boxers
who will probably see action are
Howard Patton, Floyd Williams,
Dean Gilman, Richard Hayes, Willie
Stone, Jack Merrill, and Don Ben
nett. Junior Play Chosen
The juniors are preparing for the
annual play to be given March 17.
Four different plays were sent for
and the final decision is the farcical
three-act comedy, "The. Lucky Acci
dent." A cast of eleven characters
will be selected at the end of this
week, and practice will begin next
week under the supervision of Mr.
Peavy, dramatics instructor.
Class and Club News

Muddled Mutterings
Mr. Peavy ofiered his latest in
vention in the way of a puzzlie to the
English class:
"Can you imagine an animal that
has eyes and cannot see, legs and
cannot walk, but can jump as high as
the Woolworth building?"
After several minutes of deep
thinking, the class gave up.
"The answer," he said, "is a wood-
Oregon
en horse. It has eyes and cannot
see, and legs and cannot walk."
"Yes," Arthur agreed, "bat how
does it jump as high as tho Wool
worth building?"
"The Woolworth building," ex
plained Mr. Peavy, "can't jump."
Shopper: "Are these eggs fresh?"
Guy M.: "Yes, ma'am, they are."
