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 ) This Week's Guess Who It's a girl! Dark hair, dark eyes; A senior wise. Slip of the tongue A brother named Homer! One Five Ten Years Ago Ten Years Ago . . . The Whitman glee club to appear at the local school auditorium Monday.

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. Gazette Times, Heppneiy Personals Friends of Homer Hughes will be glad to know that the cast will be removed from his leg. We all hope that the operation on your leg will be a success, Homer. Raymond Johnson is recovering rapidly from his recent accident in which he suffered a brain concus sion when his bicycle slid on some ice. Miss Nordstrom's name was called at "Bank Night" last Tuesday. Miss Nordstrom was out of town. Miss Nordstrom is recovering. Bethal Blake was out of school Monday with (or without) a bad tooth. Baseball Notes Baseball practice has been sched uled for every night atfer school with eight lettermen returning. Other berths are expected to be filled by freshmen and sophomores, some of whom may oust last year's regulars. Lettermen who have turned out for baseball are Floyd Williaws, Jack Merrill, Guy Moore, Richard Hayes, Wilbur Worden, Douglas Drake, Willie Stone and John Craword. Sports Drawings have been completed for the tennis tournament to be held this week. Twenty-two contestants, consisting of 16 boys and six girls are trying for top spots in Heppner high school's first all-school tourna ment. After the winners have been decided, a tennis ladder will be es tablished. Those persons holding the top spots on the ladder will make up the Heppner high school tennis team. Matches are expected to be scheduled with Hermiston, Pendle ton, Umatilla, and Pilot Rock. FFA Activities for Week Wednesday: In appreciation for 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 Thursday: The boys gave a re- enactment of their recent radio broadcast before the Elks lodge. They also presented the opening and closing ceremonies for the chap ter as was required at the parlia mentary contest at Boardman. Le land Edmondson closed the program with the speech that he gave or the 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.

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. Professional Directory Heppner Blacksmith & Machine Shop Expert Welding and Repairing L. H.
