Convention Held in Heppner
The Young People's Fellowship
held their annual convention in
Heppner last week end. The towns
represented were Pendleton, Bend,
The Dalles and Heppner. The meet
ings were held in the Episcopal
church Saturday morning and af
ternoon. Many interesting topics
were discussed and a complete pro
gram planned for the coming year.
A dance was held in the Parish
House Saturday night, with music
by the high school sound system. All
the students of the high school were
invited and quite a large number
attended.
The convention disbanded Sunday
noon and everyone went home with
the intention of doing more and bet
ter work in their respective Y. P. F.s,
To the Editor
For the past several years this
writer has taken the time to see
what kind of an attitude the stu
dents have relative to the teachers
of their school. When the tudents
do not get their way, they take an
attitude that is not at all whole
some. The faculty cannot help it if
they have to be a little strict. It's
their business to see that the school
is run on an equal basis at all times
and of course the students do not
see this. If we were in the faculty's
shoes right at the present, we would
probably be so strict that the school
would be a mad house but now our
present teachers have no thought or
intention of becoming so strict that
it would ruin their school. They
know their rights and the rights of
the students, so why should we
blame the faculty?
To the Editor
The item in the preceeding paper
objecting to the punishment given
football players for skipping school
seemed to have a strange slant on
school life.
Why should football players be
exempt from penalties inflicted for
skipping school any more than any
one else? It is true that a game uses
up large quantities of energy; but
will it tax their supply of energy to
too great an extent if they sit
through two shortened classes be
fore a game?
After all, the teachers are hired
to run the school and why not let
them do it? Just because some stu
dents go out for football is no reason
why they should be pampered along
in order that we may have a con
tented team.
Initiation Planned
Plans for the initiation of Green
hands into the F. F. A. have been
discussed, and it has been decided
that the initiation will be held today
in the school gym. Several differ
ent plans for initiation have been
discussed and, all in all, it prom
ises to be a nice hot one for those
being initiated. There are only 16
Future Farmers to initiate the 15
Greenhands. The GreenhaTids are
composed of the boys taking their
first year of the Future Farmers or
ganization. The Future Farmers are
the Greenhands taking a second year
in the F. F. A. Bruce Lindsay has
been taking a very active part in
the management of the F. F. A. Co
operation by inquiring for prices on
feed, other supplies, and beef steers
form the project.
To the Editor
A little late, I suppose, since it has
been quite a few days since the
annual clash between the freshman
and sophomore classes, but as a say
ing goes, "better late than never at
all."
Myself, and the rest of the fresh
man boys are very thankful that at
least the girls of our class are out
standing in athletics over the soph
omores of their own sex. I state this
because as you know these girls
won all the contests which they
competed in, while the boys were
lucky, (very lucky indeed) to win
just one event
As a rule girls' sports are mostly
kept in the background in H. H. S.,
but with this group of girls behind
them, the various girls teams would
most likely be out in front.
Those graduates of last year who
are attending schools of higher learn
ing are: Betty Happold, Bill Barratt,
Frances McCarty and Dick Wilkin
son, O. S. C; Thomas Gonty, Los
Angeles Airplane Designing; John
Crawford, U. of O.; Bob Scrivner,
La Grande School of Education;
Joan Wright, Northwestern, Port
land. Senior Play
A mystery-farce in three acts,
"House of Horrors," was chosen last
week to be presented by the senior
class. Many laughs and thrills will
be presented, under the direction of
Norbert Peavy.
The cast is as follows: Janice Can
trell, N. Prock; Chloe Clark, S.
Wilson; Guppy, H. Armstrong; Mrs.
Shump, J. Phelps; Marya, D. Howell;
Dick, J. Merrill; Singh, D. Jones;
Randolph Cantrell, W. Worden; Her
bie Hippeer, B. Blake; Wanda Wilde,
L. Jones; Pansy, M. Doolittle, Vor-
iloff, H. Wray.
H-Club Sponsors Assembly
A very interesting assembly was
held Friday by the H-Club after
the student body meeting. For the
hrst act, a trio of Howard Wray,
Don Bennett and Hugh Crawford
gave their version of the "Isle of
Capri." Following that Shirley Wil
son and Bill Blake gave a very in
teresting and humorous skit. The
program ended following three duets
on clarinet and soxophone by Rich
ard Hayes and Clifford Fay, accom
panied on the piano by Dorothy
Howell. Because of their failure to
wear loud sox on junior loud sox
day, several juniors were required
to give a short skit.
Sports Chatter
Many watchers of Pacific Coast
Conference football were much sur
prised by several upsets over the
week end. The University of Ore
gon, hardly considered as a strong
team, led the Trojans of Southern
California, last year's Rose Bowl
champions, 7-0 until late in the last
quarter. Doyle Nave, Rose Bowl
hero, passed his team to a 7-7 tie.
For Oregon, Jay Grabeal, last year
very erratic player, turned in a
surprisingly brilliant performance
with his passing and running.
The University of California re
ceived a surprise when they were
beaten 6-0 by a College of Pacific
team, coached by Alonzo Stagg, the
Grand Old Man of Football." The
California team was playing a double-header
and probably didn't take
the game seriously.
I won't give Mr. Peavy any satis
faction by mentioning Stanford's
12-0 shellacking at Oregon State's
hands.
Week-End Flashes
Hugh hurt his leg in the game
Saturday, so as a result he acquired
the car. (His dad knew Hugh didn't
use any gas.)
Have you noticed Norval's stiff
neck. He nearly broke it looking
twice at a girl in Pendleton.
It seems as if Cupid darn near
wore his arm out on Dubby and
Mary Eleanor Saturday night. Looks
like the foundations of a good ro
mance. (It makes good reading, too.)
Jack Vaughn's height isn't the
only thing that has grown. His nerve
seems to have grown considerably
more. Alex was left holding the emp
ty sack (or shall we say, front seat,
last Saturday night. Eh, Cora?)
Did you know that Wanda H. has
interests in the boys' tennis cham
pion. (Be careful, Don.)
Home Ec Room Remodeled
Recent improvements in the Home
Economics room in the basement
make work much easier for the
girls in the Home Ec classes. The old
dish cupboard was removed and a
nice new set of veneer-board cup
boards were built over the sink. This
is a much more convenient arrange
ment. A new linoleum was placed
on the floor which makes the kit
chen much easier to keep clean, and
is easier to stand on because it is
padded.
Fashions
Jeanette Blakely topped the fash
ions oi last week in a green knit,
wool skirt, white blouse, maroon,
hand knit wool sweater, white ank
lets and black saddle oxfords.
For the boy's fashions of the
week Bill Blake set the pace. In a
blue silk sport shirt and blue trous
ers Dill made a very race appear
ance.
Of course we will have to men
tion Donnie Bennett in his father's
overlarge pajama tops and blue
swimming trunks. Very smart, Don
nie!
Student Body Meets
The second student body meeting
of the year was held Friday, Sept.
29. It was found we have about $140
in the treasury. It was voted to send
flowers to La Verne Van Marter
who is ill in Portland with infantile
paralysis.
The meeting was followed by an
H-Club assembly and stunts given
by the juniors who neglected to wear
loud stockings.
Two pedestrians met death in Or
egon during the month of August
this year, compared to three for the
same month last year, Earl Snell,
secretary of state, revealed today.
One pedestrian was killed as he
was crossing an intersection without
a traffic signal while the other met
death while crossing a highway.
