Congratulations!
The school spirit of Heppner High
is more enthusiastic and supporting
as a result of Color Week. Credit
should be given to the Pep club for
its action in raising student interest
in sports and the school spirit itself.
This is the first time for quite a
while that any action has actually
been taken to develop support for
athletic events, which in turn stim
ulates school spirit and attendance
at school plays and forms a better
and more cheerful feeling towards
the school itself.
Congratulations, Pep club!
Freedom Essential
Freedom is a quality that we all
like. It is sometimes defined as rest
lessness, but even so it is a freedom
'in different form. There was a time
when boys had all the freedom. That
was in the pioneering age when
there was land for everyone in the
West. When boys would settle on
this land, their restlessness would
gradually disappear. But now the
land in the West is all gone, and the
boys are still restless. Their main re
source is sports and occasionally
cooking and sewing. There are Boy
Scouts who, in order to express their
pioneering spirit, go camping and
live in the great out-doors. They be
come internally interested in sports
because they help feed the soul
Girls join the Campfire Girls and
Girl Scouts for the same reason." It
gives them an outlet for the feeling
they have accumulated only in the
last few years. There was a time
when girls would marry between the
ages of 16 and 22. Nowadays girls
don't marry so young; therefore,
they have six or seven years in
which to enjoy freedom.
"The next generation," Dr. Van
Doren stated, "does not believe in
superstitions, which is a fine thing."
They think quickly, and for that
reason they need speed such as the
automobile affords. They have found
fun in thinking and experimenting
Sometimes there is an unhappy end
ing to this, but more often it is a
happy ending.
"Our civilization mustn't be built
on skeptical ideas," Dr. Van Doren
concluded, "and the rising genera
tion by doing away with nonsense is
fast giving us these ideas."
D. A. R. Candidate Chosen
Each year the National Society of
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution sends one girl from each
state to Washington, D. C, paying all
expenses. Willamette chapter of
Portland is sponsoring the Heppner
high school. The student body voted
Tuesday on the five senior girls se
lected by the Girls League Frances
McCarty, Bethal Blake, Betty Rob
inson, Sibyl Howell, Helen Egan
and elected Bethal Blake.
The qualifications are dependabil
ity, service, leadership, patriotism,
and scholarship. The winner's name
is sent to the state committee, and
from all names sent one girl will be
selected by a drawing under the
Heppner
supervision of the superintendent of
public instruction- She will be sent
to Washington, D. C, starting not
later than April 11 or 12, for a ten
day stay. Every girl selected from
each school will receive a Girls
League pin.
GAS HOUSE GOSSIP
By JOE AIKEN
The climax of color week was a
success in every way it could be,
with the exception of winning the
game. The student body was rep
resented by half the members at the
game, and, by the way, filled the
center section of the balcony. The ca
pacity of the center section is one
hundred, and it was filled with one
hundred really lively rooters. We
enjoyed a record crowd. Not since
last year's tournament has the town
supported a basketball game so well.
Let s hope that the interest lasts a
while, as we need the support and
you need the excitement.
As a rule statistics are dry, but
these may be interesting to some.
Out of nineteen gift shots, Heppner
made five; Hermiston had thirteen,
and made three. Heppner commit
ted eleven fouls, Hermiston thirteen.
At Hermiston in the previous game,
Heppner received 11 gift shots and
made 4; Hermiston received 20 gift
shots and made 6. Heppner commit
ted nineteen fouls and Hermiston
only nine.
Ohe or two of the high school lads
are entered in the local firemen's
smoker. These boys are going to
fight in the inter-school smoker
between Heppner and Hermiston in
the near future. The lads are to be
matched with men from the three C
camp and men around town.
Some talk has been going around
to the effect that the Heppner squad
has won several football champion'
ships. In the past, when the league
had a treasury, these pennants were
given out to all championship teams.
Heppner has won three of these in
the last four years. One in 1935, one
in 1936, and the last in 1938. In base.
ball Heppner has won three consec
utive pennants from 1934 to 1936
Again arises the question of
whether or not Portland has the
best eligibility ruling as to its high
school athletes. The Portland schools
are in favor of a nine-semester eli
gibility ruling and no scholastic re
quirements. There should be an age
ruling, they believe, but five years
of competitive athletics. They think
a boy doesn't have to pass football
to take English, so why should he
be required to pass English to play
football. This will mean that the
competition will be greater in years
to come. As you know, Portland was
barred from all-state athletic events
due to the nine semester eligibility
rule. Portland schools will not be
entered in the state basketball and
track meets this year.
The above ruling makes us really
wonder who is the best in the va
rious fields in state athletics. Last
year the state basketball champions
were Baker, while the Portland
champs were Lincoln High. We wil
never know who was actually, the
best one can only guess.
The present set-up for the basket
ball league doesn't seem quite clear
to everyone, so here it is: The U. C,
A. L. is divided into two divisions
one for the smaller schools and an
other for the larger schools. The two
leagues play for a champion of their
respective divisions; then the cham
pions play each other for the cham
pionship of the Upper Columbia Ath
letic league. That is all that hap
pens; this doesn't decide who goes
to the state tournament only the
league champions.
Here and Yon . . . Speaking of
peculiar names, the Chemawa In
dians of the Willamette league of
fer the best we have so far seen; the
names of five of their players are
Woundedeye, Brokenarm, Backbone,
Scalpsone, and Track.
The B team still maintains its
standard of an undefeated season,
The Pendleton B team has lost but
two games thus far in the season
one to Athena and another to Hepp
ner over there.
Heppner has suffered four defeats
and has gained five wins. There are
still five more games for the local
team.
One of the Pendleton basketball
players left an I. 0. U. for a show
case which was broken in Chinn's
restaurant. He thinks he steps too
high.

Editors Told Kind of
Paper People Like
University of Oregon, Eugene,
January 23 A return to the good
old-fashioned slogan, "all the news
that's fit to print," instead of the
motto of "speed at any cost" so com
mon with many papers today, was
warmly advocated for Oregon news
papers by Arthur L. Crookman, city
editor of the Oregon Journal, at the
recent session of the annual Oregon
Press conference, at the University
of Oregon school of journalism.
"People still like to see their names
in print They also are more inter
ested in their neighbors and what is
Oregon
going on in their own town than in
any other place on earth. If news
papers give their readers "home town'
news, they will go ahead faster
than any competitor who bases his
claim to superiority on Hollywood
columns, extensive wire services,
or doubtful value features;" Mr.
Crookham stated.
Accuracy in reporting, an attract
ive make-up, careful editing, and
attention to details were cited as es
sentials for good "home town" cov
erage by newspapers by Mr. Crook
ham. "Country correspondence" or those
little paragraphs and stories of
nearby communities, are a vital and
necessary part of every weekly
newspaper, and publishers should
seek to improve this department in
every way, it was declared by Gor
don G. McNab of the Oregon Jour
nal. Lack of attention given to this
country correspondence was deplor
ed by Mr. McNab. He recommended
that papers seek out good corres
pondents, train them to write well,
and then pay thme adeuately.
Editors today must still face facts
in their communities and they must
continue their papers as vital social
factors through an unbiased presen
tation of news and fearless editorials,
it was declared by Governor Charles
A. Sprague at the editor's annual
banquet.
Editors, like men in responsible
political positions, should sense so
cial changes, must understand the
psychology of changing public opin
ion, take into account human emo
tions, and then act accordingly for
the public good, the governor de
clared. The governor traced the growth
of journalism in Oregon, from the
days before the Civil war when pa
pers were almost wholly political,
to the present scientific presentation
of facts and leadership through in
telligent editorial policies.
