Editorial
There are only eight more weeks
of school. For some of us this is the
last eight weeks we'll spend in good
old Heppner High. So far this last
year has been a grand climax to four
years in one of the best, cleanest
schools in the state.
The year has seen the most suc
cessful football season in years. The
Mustangs won seven, dropping only
one, to win the Upper Columbia Ath
. letic league crown. The basketball
season was as successful with Hepp
ner winning the U. C. A. L. crown
in that sport by defeating Umatilla.
So far this year there have been
few "clashes" between the students
and the faculty. The result of this
peaceful condition has been increas
ed liberties for the students.
Do we want to spoil a good year
and have our liberties taken from
us at this late date? It appears that
this might very easily happen. Many
events, small in themselves, seem
to be leading toward this unfortun
ate event.
Naturally, the faculty cannot tol
erate many offenses against the le
nient rules in effect. It is good to
know that there are only a few of
fenders now, but the number ap
parently is growing.
The next time you run down the
stairs, slide down the fire escape,
skip a class, or take an afternoon off,
remember that each petty offense of
this kind is driving another nail into
the coffin into- which will go- many
of our liberies. Once these liberties
are taken from us, it -will be some
time before they are given back.
Seniors, this is our chance to show
the rest of the students of the high
school what we are made of and
what we can do by setting a good
example for the rest of the student
body. So far, we have been a good-
acting class. Let's spend the last
eight weeks of our high school ca
reers in raising the standard of H
H. S. so it will be a better high
school when we leave it than when
we entered.

Band News
Many individuals of the band have
not yet paid their deposit upon their
uniforms. It is necessary that this
deposit be paid so the uniforms can
be cleaned.
This year the Elks are putting on
an operetta to raise money, for the
band to go to, La Grande to com
pete in the state regional contest.
They have a shortage of voices and
would appreciate any support from
the high school.
Sophomore Social Hour
The sophomore class came to the
front Thursday night by sponsoring
a social hour in which practically
all of the students participated.
Some time during the year each
class and club is to sponsor a social
hour. The social hour room was dec
orated in green and yellow crepe
paper. There were several enjoyable
novelty dances. Festivities ended at
9:30 Pacific Standard Time.
'
Boys to Entertain Girls
In return for all of the splendid
times the Girls' League has given
the entire student tbody, the boys,
Heppner
under the guidance of the Associat
ed Men Students, will, on Friday,
March 31, sponsor the Dog Patch
Spring Festival.
The dance will be held in the
county fair pavilion, which will be
decorated in the latest Dog Patch
fashion. No one can enter unless
dresesd in typical mountain style,
for prizes will be offered the most
appropriately dressed couple.
"So rememba, yo'all are cord-u-ally
invited to come and do some
dancin' in real ole Dog Patch style.
First Signs of Spring
It seems that lone, which used to
furnish so many juicy morsels for
this column, is soon to go back into
obscurity. That is, unless some few
people find the habit too strong to
discontinue.
Isn't it rather inconvenient hav
ing an escort who plays in the or
chestra, Norma?
Evidently Dubby has finally sum
moned enough nerve to do the long
contemplated. For further informa
tion, ask him.
Last week, when it was mentioned
in this paper that Bethal and Emery
were looxing at nouses, tne iacx
that John any Sybil were there first
was not included. Could it be be
cause John is editor?
Sure you know that Wilbur is
giving Nelma the well-known rush?
It seems that Lovers' Lane is again
coming back into the spotlight.
(The local officers furnish the light.)
We hear Scrivner was doing all
right at Boardman. (And not in
grain judging.)
It seems that Buddy was really
beating the drums at Fossil Satur
day. (Or was it his heart? Nice wo
men they have over there.)
Seen Around
Fvufus would like to go back to
La Grande. (Wonder what he saw
over there?)
Some girls have their eyes on a
new car. (Better looK out, ttaroia.)
Did a red-head bite Lowell be
hind the ear?
Bob Swick has been going up Wil
low creek regularly the last week
or so.
Leland doesn't think much of some
of the girls at Boardman. (Wonder
why?)
Where was Bill Barratt the night
beore the sectional meet?
It seems as though D. Bennett and
N. Osborn went skating last Fri
day. (Could it have been with
Alex )

fent-son banquet last week.
Laddie Gale was shooting baskets
in the local gym.
Elks' Speaking Contest
Edna Stephens of Heppner, Dan
ny Dinges of Lexington and Donald
Smith of Condon gained the finals
of the local Elks' speaking contest
held before the local high school last
Wednesday.
Mr. Philip Mahoney, exalted ruler
of local Elks, described the aims of
the contest and introduced the
speakers. All spoke on "Americani
zation," with each speaker inter
preting the topic a little differently.
The three winners of the contest
will speak before the local Elks'
lodge some time in April. The win
ner there will go to Klamath Falls
next June to compete in the region
al finals.

baseball are Floyd Williaws, Jack
Merrill, Guy Moore, Richard Hayes,
Wilbur Worden, Douglas Drake,
Willie Stone and John Craword.

services rendered in preparation of
the late F. F. A. parent and son, ban
quet, the Home Ec club girls were
made guests of honor at a combin
ation peanut, popcorn, and dancing
party with the Future Farmers as
hosts. The girls and several vunin-
vited guests report an enjdyable
evening. i

enactment of their recent radio
broadcast before the Elks lodge.
They also presented the opening

contest, "Diversified Production on
Eastern Oregon Wheatlands." .
Friday: Fluttering of blue, red,
yellow, and white ribbons marked
the triumphant return of the Hepp
ner chapter from the sectional con-
test at Boardman where they proved
themselves the outstanding chapter
in competition. The chapter's team
placed second only to Redmond in
a hotly contested battle of six par
liamentary procedure teams.
The public speaking contest was
won by the representative from The
Dalles in a close decision over Hepp-
ner's Leland Edmondson. Of the vo
cational agricultural contests Dick

previously featured talks by vari
ous vocational agricultural students.
The next issue of the Oregon Traf
fic Safety Exchange, issued at in
tervals by the department of state
as the news organ of community
safety councils, will contain a note
urging councils to push enforcement
of the law requiring motorists to
stop at occupied pedestrian lanes.
This note will be included at the
request of the Josephine County
Safety council, which discussed the
non-observance of the law at a re
cent meeting.
Oregon
Trend Shown Toward
Air Conditioning
Oregon State College Better ser
vice to the public as well as im
proved practices within heating,
cooling and ventilating firms are
foreseen by those who took part in
the second Oregon air conditioning
conference just held by the school
of engineering here.
No radically new principles in air
conditioning are expected by lead
ers in the industry, but constant
improvement and lowering of costs
is believed certain, leading to wider
application of air conditioning to all
types of business and individual
residences. .
The fact that heating in winter,
cooling in summer and air purify
ing at all times are all linked to
gether in one air conditioning prob
lem was emphasized in the display
of latest equipment at the confer
ence, constituting the largest single
exhibit of such equipment ever as
sembled in Oregon.
Air conditioning as an aid to the
medical profession, and the need for
greater coordination of the architect
and air conditioning engineer were
stressed in addresses by specialists
in these fields. Air conditioned bed
rooms in the pollen season would
make it possible for most hay fever
patients to work through the day,
it was said.
Whether the conference will be
continued annually or only every
two years is to be determined by
the desires of the industry, says Earl
Wille, general chairman and assist
ant professor of mechanical engin
eering here.
More than 450,000 motor vehicle
operators have been licensed in Or
egon since July 1st, 1937, which
marked the beginning of the present
renewal period, Secretary, of State
Earl Snell reports. This figure will
top the total for the last biennium
by more than 50,000 by June 30, Snell
predicted.
