Do We Want a School Paper?
Several students worked very hard
last week writing up and cutting
stencils for a school paper, written,
edited and printed in the local school.
The paper when presented to the
students received a cool reception.
Less than twenty-five thought
enough of the idea of having a school
paper to buy a copy. The paper sold
for three cents, the minimum for
which it could be put out.
If the box factory comes in, Hepp
ner High will probably become a
class A school. Almost all of the
class A schools have printed school
papers, and unless we get started
pretty soon, we won't even have a
mimeographed one.
What is wrong with us? Are we
too lazy to write te material for a
paper? Are we too tight to buy a
copy when it is printed? We had
better be finding out what is wrong
with us pretty soon.
Arlington, Condon, and Hermis
ton, our arch-rivals on the athletic
fields, all have school papers. Are
we going to let these schools lead
us in this department? The answer
should be "No," but so far it is a
great big "Yes."
All who agree that Heppner should
have a paper of their own please
talk it up at school and tell the
members of the Student Council that
they want a paper.
Come on Heppner, let's show the
other schools around that we are
not only "tops" in athletics but can
also hold our own in the field of
journalism.
Past Student Body Meetings
On January 27, the meeting was
called to order and then turned over
to the H club which presented its
annual program. The time was not
sufficient to hold the business meet
ing also, so they adjourned until
February 3.
At that time, the meeting was con
tinued and a secretary and treas
urer's report were given. The
amendment presented by Joe Aiken
at the last meeting, that all faculty
members be exempted from paying
the student body tax, was voted up
on. The motion was defeated. The
H club president made the motion
that the persons responsible for tak
ing the pennants down in the gym
nasium at the time of the operetta
put them back in their original
places. The motion was carried. The
motion was made and carried that
two boys be appointed to take care
of the score boards and prevent any
serious complications which arise
from blown-out fuses.
Dick Bogoger made the sugges
tion in the form of a motion that
the B squad be presented with some
kind of letter for their efforts dur
ing the basketball season, but after
a general discussion, nothing was
done about it.
The motion was made and carried
that all business be laid on the ta
Heppner
ble until the next meeting and that
we adjourn.
Following the meeting there was
a short pep-rally for the game that
night with Arlington.
GAS HOUSE GOSSIP
By JOE AIKEN
For four consecutive years Hepp
ner high schoo has supported a
baseball team. They have been suc
cessful up until last year. Up tothis
year we have played 25 games and
lost but 7. From all appearances we
will not have a team this year due
to finances. All the years we have
had baseball it never once paid for
itself. Every year we went in the
hole upon it, so now it seems wise
to discontinue it.
Looking back many years we see
this town supporting two teams, a
town team and a high school team.
Then, baseball was the major sport.
One can look back and remember
when he played third base,' catcher,
or pitcher, or even sat in the stands
and razzed the opposing teams. Great
fun, wasn't it?
Heppner is cinched for the top of
the ladder now, as they have won
another game, making it four wins
out of five games played. This means
that there will be a league play-off
some time in the very near future.
Heppner has two more games to
play. One is with Condon this Fri
day and another with lone down
there. The game with Condon is the
last league game to be played by
this team, however, as stated before.
The league play-off will be held to
determine the strongest team in this
district. Up to now the two leading
teams seem to be even, as Irrigon
has lost but one game to Lexington,
and Heppner lost one to Hermiston,
but Hermiston was beaten by Irri
gon. Both teams have lost one league
game apiece, but have beaten the
team that beat them. Last week
there was a lot of talk abotu a jinx
which Arlington was supposed to
have over Heppner. Heppner hasn't
beaten Arlington since 1934 in any
sort of a basketball game. We now
wonder if this was a jinx or that
Arlington might have played a lit
tle harder and out-fought us. What
ever it was, the Mustangs certainly
out-played and out-fought them
and put the so-called jinx upon the
shelf for good, we hope.
This year tennis may become a
major sport. It will be the major
spring sport if baseball is discon
tinued. The turn-out will be great
as the interest is growing all the
time. Last year we placed two as
runner-ups in the tournament held
at Hermiston. It is a new sport in
this school and is growing in popu
larity every year for the school pu
pils and townspeople alike.
Her e and Yon . . . There has been
talk of having a contest among men
attending a basketball game, of
shooting fouls.
We should be thankful that we live
in a country where we go to a school
activity to see the younger genera
tion exhibit the skill of athletics in
stead of the skills of war.
The local FFA chapter is planning
a smoker with Arlington next Wed
nesday. The Heppner casaba lads have
their eyes upon the state tourna
ment. Band Organized
The band has become something
besides a class that meets every day
and gets rid of excess wind. It now
is an organization which has a presi
dent and other officers.
Newly elected officers will be in
office until the end of the school
year. They are as follows: President,
Omer McCaleb; vice-president, Bet
ty Happold; secretary, Carolyn
Vaughn; treasurer, Don Jones; pub
licity director, Joe Aiken; librarian,
Shirley Wilson; sergeant-at-arms,
Jack Merrill; assistant, Don Bennett.
The duties of these officers are as
follows: President presides over all
band meetings and has an active
voice in the board of control; vice
president presides over all board
meetings and substitutes for the
president in his absence; secretary
sees that all the new music that is
required is ordered and carries on
all correspodence; treasurer han
dles the finances of the band and
keeps it in an orderly manner for
use at a later date; sergeant-at-arms
and assistant responsible for the
chairs, stands, and band members'
conduct.
The board of control consists of the
Gazette Times, Heppner,
officers of the band. They are an
active advisory board to the band.
The purpose of the organization
is to create a more active interest in
the band and to assist in the routine
work.
Practice has been started in earn
est on the state contest pieces. Morn
ing rehearsals are to begin this week.
The district contest will be held at
La Grande, April 14th and 15th.
Girls' League to Sponsor Party
The regular meeting of the Girls'
League was held in the assembly
room of the high school last Thurs
day with each girl answering the
roll call by a four-line valentine
poem. A new constitution was read
and adopted as the regular Girls'
League constitution. ,
It was decided that the girls
should take charge of the social hour
to be held February 15 and pre
sent it in the form of a Valentine
party.
Following the business meeting, a
spring style show was held with
Norma Prock, Carolyn Vaughn,
Connie Instone, Peggy Tamblyn and
Frances Wilkinson modeling. Edna
Stephens made a report on the or
igin of Valentine's day.
