Thursday, May 2, 1940 Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Page Three HARDMAN NEWS Students Rank High at Speech Arts Fete By HARDMAN HIGH SCHOOL The high school students with Mr. and Mrs. Tyndal Robison and Mrs. Marie Clary, left early on Fri day morning on their trip with the Eastern Oregon Speech Arts festival in La Grande as their main object ive. Mrs. Robison went only as far as Butter creek where she stopped for a visit at the Chas. Bartholomew home. The first stop was at the big supply dam near Pendleton. During the day visits were made at the Eastern Oregon hospital, the new sawmill and box factory, the East Oregonlan, the courthouse, the woolen mills and the Collins flour mill. Then after a full day in Pen dleton they went on to La Grande where on Saturday in the forenoon Vera McDaniel and Mildred Clary participated in the poetry reading, all attending the picnic supper in the patio on the campus, and in the evening Vera and Vern McDaniel, Jeanne Leathers, Mildred and Irl Clary put on their play, "Orville's Big Date." Plays were put on all during the afternoon and evening, with those who had previously shown their ability being given the better places. The Hardmanites did very well for themselves and were pleased when they were given one of the best places on the program. The students had worked hard on their play and poems, and although the events are all non-competitive, the criticism given by experts is often urettv severe. Pendleton, Ba ker and La Grande and such schools are the ones who always take part, and both by the applause of the audience and the estimate of critics Hardman did very well. On Sundav the group spent the forenoon visiting the new hall for the eirls at the Eastern Oregon Col of Education, and the perfect and beautiful new St Joseph hos pital, after which Mr. and Mrs. Har ry Owen and little Dean were guests nf the crowd at lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Owen are now living at Union and the Misses Vern and Vera McDan iel and Jeanne Leathers spent Sat- urdav nieht at their home.

Salem, Mt. Vernon and Chicago also arrived The five high school students sang a special number accompanied by Mrs. Clarv. After the services in the church the Indians served a delicious meal in the long-house. Group pictures were taken and ev erybody enjoyed the hospitality of the Indians. At the close all joined hands and Vera led in a number of songs, the last of which was "God Be With You Til We Meet Again," sung first in English and then in Indian.
