HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, April 25, 1963 Social Lites - - CALL 6-9228 or 6-9284 by Jo By JO PETTYJOHN PROBABLY ONE of the high points of spring activity is the annual Band Carnival. Be sides being loads of fun for the whole family, it provides funds for the bands of Heppner schools to buy uniforms and send de serving students to summer school. Even though the date had to be changed twice, the committee is looking forward to a large turnout. I think the "dunk-tank" draws the most popularity. Where else can you drown your enemies and get away with it! ! Popular spots for the wee ones are the fish ponds. So take the family out for fun, food, and entertain ment. ooo MIKE SMITH, 13-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Smith, got a real surprise of his life with a birthday party Friday night when seven boys showed up to help him celebrate! Mother . Lenna cooked this all up during the week, and parents cooperated by not telling their sons until Friday night. Guess we didn't think they could keep a secret? ? His guests were Cal vin Ashbeck, Larry Pettyjohn, Kevan and Kent Pratt, Vernon and Gary Frederickson, and Terry Prock. After games, cake and ice cream, the fellows went to the movie. ooo BEBE MUNKERS entertained the Hamlin, Wavel Wilkinson, and Gladys Connor, was on the los ing team. HANNAH ANDERSON had the Friday Afternoon Pinoch 1 e club at her home last week and also won low. Is that winning? Yes, I think so, because I al ways end up in middle! Carrie Beckett had an exciting moment as she melded 1500 trump and the 300 pinochle in the same hand! And to top it, she had her first 1500 trump, and I'm sure she has played a day or two of pinochle! Doris Watkins was her helping partner at the time. Gladys Beckett and Pearl Wright won the pinochle. Also in on the play were Mary Harris, Beulah Mankin, and Millie Evans. Speaking of Millie, I see she has joined the working girl ranks and someone asked her how she could play cards on Fridays. You guessed it, that's her day off! ooo THE CONLEY Lanhams enter tained at the LaVerne Van Marter home Saturday night with a potluck dinner and dup licate bridge play. Other guests were the Bill Collins, Jim Dris colls, Bill Blakes, and Gerald Jonassons. Bobbe Driscoll won high and LaVerne won second. I hope my memory is correct since I have L. Van Marter on my notes and that could be .wife, Laurel Duplicate Bridge club at her home Friday night with Mary McLeod and Mildred Davidson winning high. I thought I heard Mary say she didn't know how to play duplicate? It seems as though she won last time. Ah ha beginners' luck! June Bell- enbrock and hlsie Cole were sec ond hiKh. Also playing were Kay Robinson, Lillian Sweek, Gena Leonard, Lorine Ledbet ter, Lucia Cutsforth, Gwen Ilealy, and Eileen Padberg. ooo MARLYS PHEGLEY won high Tuesday night at Pinochle club at the home of Lillian Key. Sherrie McDaniel won second; Bobbie Angell, pinochle, and Judy Buschke, the door prize. Others playing were Jeanne Berry, Flo Connor, and Mary Lov gren. Guess that old pinochle traveled some, about six times, before Bobbie caught up with it. 0 0 0 MARY McCLliRE entertained last Tuesday the Bridge Bid dies with two tables in play. Janina Johnson won high and LaFyrne Pratt walked off with the second high and the trav eling Jack high prizes! Mary McLeod, Mary Jean MoCabe, Jan Agee, Dorothy O'Rourke, and Sue Jones were In on the play. ooo DESPITE THE lovely snow in late April, the attendance at the benefit dance in Hardman for Dean Lovgien was great and from all reports everyone en joyed the dance. Might ask why the wet feet, guess the snow was rather misleading as many thought it was packed only to sink into water puddles over the shoe tops! That's one way to keep them dancing, drying out their feet! ooo GRACE NICKERSON, Ruth Mc Murdo, Etta Parker, and Mae Gilliam were on the winners' tear. at the conclusion of the duplicate bridge play Thursday evening. Sadie Parrish entertain ed the club and with Hazel ooo JUDY BUSCHKE, Lillian Key, Jeanne Berry, and Mary Lov gren went to Pendleton Friday night to see the Pendleton Play house play, "Bell, Book, and Candle." It was a play on witch craft and they all enjoyed it. For some reason, I had in mind it was a mystery story. ooo CHERYL EDWARDS entertained guests at her home Saturday evening on her 12th birthday. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Edwards. Her guests were Kathy and Karen maxe, Diane Nemi, Theresa Harsh man, Verla Ilerschell, Kent and Kevan Pratt, Lee Payne, Mike Smith, Verna Fredrickson and Larry Pettyjohn. They enjoyed games and dancing with birth day cake, ice cream and punch to finish the evening. ooo SPEAKING OF birthdays, little six-year-old Judy Healy, daughter of the Jack Hcalys, celebrated (?) her birthday Monday in bed with the measles! Some fun, huh? ooo THE ELKS sponsored a dancing party for all high school stu dents in the county and it was Friday with the Soroptimists furnishing the refreshments. This Friday they will sponsor a party for the junior nign stu dents. Students always look for ward to the parties. They have a very good time and It Is also a dress-up time for them.

MCGG squeaked by the Burns team and won the third game by only three pins! June Bellenbrock led the team with a 149 game and 412 series. Turner, Van Marter and Bryant took the first game from Eagle Valley and then Eagle Valley shut them out the rest of the night. Vesta Kilkenny topped the Turner team with a 178 game and 439 series. Speaking of her 178, it seems a case of Coke was dashing in front of her eyes and with only one pin and one ball to throw! ! What happened? No more Monday night and Wednesday night bowling until next year and here's hoping it is in Heppner when league play starts next fall! ! ooo THE MEN'S teams entered a tournament in Echo Monday night with Hi-Ho leading the pack and ' Lexington Oil Co-op in second.
