Heppner High School

To the Student Body
Have you noticed? You couldn't
help but notice that little wooden
box placed at the front of the study
hall. That box is there for you for
you to place articles, features, jokes,
stories anything you have for pub
lication in the Hehisch or the.annual.
Evidently you have thought that
any box left in a conspicuous place
was to serve as a waste paper bas
ket, for the contributions we have
obtained so far have mainly consist
ed of chewing gum wrappers, dis
carded papers, and pencil stubs. If
we were running a paper plant or a
gum factory, thanks; but you, the
student body of Heppner high school,
are writing a school paper, and we
are trying to publish it; but we can't
publish a paper unless we have ma
terial with which to do it. So now
that you are again reminded of the
purpose of the said box, we, the
staff, will try our best to cooperate
and take care of the flood of ma
terial that we hope will be contrib
uted to make the Hehisch a paper' of
the students, for the students and
by the students, with the accent on
the "BY."
The Use of Spare Time
It is surprising what can be ac
complished by the wise use of spare
time. A close study of biography re
veals the fact that many of the
world's most famous characters at
tribute their success mainly to the
utilization of spare moments.
The greatest authority on William
Shakespeare, Horace Howard Fur
ness, ascribes his personal success
to an advantageous use of spare
time. It was this man who studied
the life of the great English writer
while spending a seemingly useless
half hour on a train bound daily to
and from his suburban home.
William Jennings Bryan, one of
America's greatest public speakers,
credits his marvelous flow of ora
tory to practical investments of leis
ure moments. Benjamin Franklin, a
shining light in history of youthful
America, was a miser of time, hoard
ing every second. To him the loss of
a single minute was a loss as extrav
agant as that of a dollar.
Humanity has produced many sim
ilar characters, who by careful ap
plication of spare time, have made
history for their nation. To the ma
jority, freedom of time affords a
golden opportunity for enjoyment
and amusement. It also renders an
excellent chance for idleness. But
if a satisfactory division of play and
work could be enacted and installed
by us as individuals, a wiser and
more profitable distribution of leis
ure moments would be brought
about.
Come see Hermiston get beaten
Color Week
The students who went to Pendle
ton to the Student conference, Dec.
7, brought back many ideas to put
into practice. The main one of these
which the school has undertaken so
far is Color Week. The main pur
pose of this week is arousing inter
est for the Hermiston game, Friday.
The freshmen were assigned to dec
orate the halls and the library; soph
omores, the rooms; the juniors and
seniors, the assembly and the gym,
Peering Into the Past
One Year Ago Heppner and Con

dig. . . . Local boys defeated by Ad

Heppner
GAS HOUSE GOSSIP
By JOE AIKEN
From time to time throughout the
nation there are various weeks
named for the purpose of making
the population more conscious of
some organization or movement. This
week happens to be "color week"
in the local school. The purpose of
the sponsored week is to promote
a better support of high school activ
ities, both by the student body and
townspeople.
The Pep club has taken on the
movement. The clubs are to have a
window contest. They must have a
deorated window down on Main
street to be on display from Wed
nesday to Friday. There is a prize
for the best decorated window.
The school and gym have been
decorated for part of the program.
The assembly was decorated by the
noble seniors. The gym enhanced by
the juniors, while the sophomores
drew pictures on all the blackboards.
The halls suffered their fate at the
hands of the insignificant frosh.
As novelties, the Pep club had
rooter caps, small pennants, and
symbols, which they are selling for
a nominal price.
There are those of you who still
wonder how the game came out with
Fossil, at Fossil. Well, the spectators
who attended the game aren't sure
as yet, but Heppner carried off the
honors. The climax was more inter
esting to watch than the game it
self. Everyone thought the score was
25 to 24 in Fossil's favor, but they
were shocked to find that Fossil
really lost.
Getting down to facts, the Fossil
scoreboard keeper was befuddled
about his score sheet and really did
n't know. When the sheets were
compared, however, it was discov
ered that the score was 25-all with
one minute to go and that at the last
of the game Heppner tallied with a
foul shot, making the socre 26 to 25
in Heppner's favor. For quite a per
iod after that discussion was quite
rife because the grammar school boy
who kept score had become confused
and missed one or two points. One
would hardly believe that a group
of people could make so much noise
that the timer's whistle couldn't be
heard, especially if Mr. Blanken
ship was blowing upon it, but actual
ly it would have been hard to hear
Mr. Bennett over the racket.
The most interesting merry-go-round
now is the A league in the
U. C. A. L. Here's one for you dope
sters. Heppner beats Fossil. Fossil
beats Condon and Arlington. Arling
ton beats Condon and Heppner. Con
don beats Arlington (believe it or
not), and Fossil wins from both Con
don and Arlington, and to climax it,
Heppner again beats Fossil.
Here and Yon
The Heppner B team has a record
to brag about. They have gone un
defeated so far this year. Their hope
is to stay undefeated.
Don Bennett has worry even more
important than his hair. He is suf
fering from a discolored eye as a
result of a basketball game.
One of the feminine rooters of
Fossil swooned after the exciting
exhibit of casaba last Saturday. It
isn't hard to believe. If you attend
ed the game, you would sympathize
with her.
The B team still holds the cham
pionship of the shcool. It seems that
it is next to impossible to find a team
made up from the gym classes that
can beat them.
The boys of Condon wanted to
know who we thought would be the
strongest team in this year's tour
nament. What happened to the remaining
2Vz gallons of ice cream last Fri
day, or should we say Saturday,
Harold A.?
Gossip
Jack Merrill was ditihed while
trying to ditch two snoopers.
If Mr. Bennett can do shop work
in Ag., he should be able to put li
cense plates on his car by himself.
We hear that Don Jones can hold
down the back seat of a car just as
well as anyone. (Ask Jeanette.)
What was Bill Barratt's car doing
parked near the courthouse early
Sunday morning?
Some girl's loss was a gain to the
rooters of Fossil in the form of a
good laugh, Saturday night. ,
Down with the Bulldogs!
We wonder if Carolyn is still buy
Gazette Times, Heppner,
ing her groceries at Clark's.
Beat Hermiston!
' Guess what! Billy and Frances
have gone a whole week without a
fight. At least, without a bad one.
It's surprising what a small space
it takes to accommodate some cou
ples. Even a kitchen chair will do,
don't it, Harry?
My, my, where was Bob Scrivner
for such a long time in Condon, Sat
urday afternoon?

Guess who won the Fossil game.
(Ask Bob Scrivner.)

while over to La Grande. (It was a
boy.)
Guess who Betty Robinson went
to the show with Sunday night.
(What show?)
Guess who Cliff Faye would like
to take to the show. (It's not a boy.)
Guess who didn't pass the English
Essentials. (Don't ask me.)
Guess who got rooked in the
chemistry exam. (Ask Thomas Gon
ty.) Guess who got gipped on a neck
tie Monday.
Did You Know That
The basketball boys have begun
strict training?
Cora Scott and Lucile Barlow
were waiting around in the gym af
ter last Monday's game?
Several of the juniors are suffer
ing from nervous break-downs,
caused by Mr. Peavy's delay in post
ing the junior play cast?
Milton Morgan lost something in
Condon, and it wasn't his heart,
either?
Bill Barratt and Lowell Ashbaugh
failed to go to band Thursday?
The Heppner boys made sure they
didn't leave any loose signs in Con
don or Fossil?
This week is color week?
Sibyl and Carolyn have gone so
far as to write to Richard Green?
John Crawford makes a good pil
low? (Ask Edna Stephens.)
Ten Years From Now

"Yes, but his P. A. still has to sup

"Did you get rid of those moths
with the mothballs you bought?"
"No; I tried for hours, but I could

FORMER DENTIST PASSES
Word has been received by Mr.
and Mrs. Hanson Hughes, friends
here, of the death of Dr. J. A. Craig
at Eureka, Cal., on January 9, fol
lowing an operation for stomach ul
cers. He apparently improved for
five days following the operation be
fore declining. Mrs. Craig survives.
Dr. and Mrs. Craig went to Eureka
shortly after leaving Heppner some
ten years ago, Dr. Craig having
practiced dentisty here for several
months. They spent last Christmas
in Portland.
Ralph Reade was transacting bus
iness in the city the end of the week
from his home near Spray.
