THIS BUILDING, located on South hill at Pendleton, houses much of Blue Mountain College at the
present time. Automotive and other shop courses are held on lower level, and classrooms and
offices are on second floor. The structure formerly was the Pendleton Technical school. Behind
this building is John Murray Junior High school, which is shared between the college and Junior
hiah pupils, the college taking most of the second floor. A new site for the college has been
purchased opposite the state hospital on the west side of town, following vote in the 2-county
district, but building plans are held in abeyance now because of lack of funds.

College Makes
Strides Forward

against time and didn't want
their attention diverted.
In an afternoon class, demon
strations were underway on
making copies through use of
copying machines and blue
printing machines. Robert Lar
son, instructor, showed many in
teresting uses for the copies in
the business world of today.
While the college is squeezed
into small quarters, everything
is tidy and neat. Some depart
ments appear to be fairly weil
equipped, but others are in need
of better equipment.
It appears that under the lead
ership of President McCrae,
Robert Hawk, director of the bus
iness and technical schools;
Walter H. (Wally) Palmberg, di
rector of admissions; and the
college's 7-person board of direc
tors, the college has become well
organized quickly. One gets the
idea that the administration
knows where it wants to go and
what it is attempting to do, al
though there are some great
problems to be faced.
With 94 in the evening pro
gram added to the 273 in the
day program, student body
stands at 367, well over esti
mates made when the college
was proposed to voters In 1961
The students show a surprisingly
fine spirit, most of them
pointing out the opportunities
that the college will open for
them.
At a luncheon In a downtown
restaurant, seven or eight of the
students told how they felt the
college is filling a real need for
them and what they hope to ac
complish by attending.

Shed Condemned
By City Council
In Monday Meet
City council action Monday
night was directed towards the
removal of the old State High
way Dept. shed at the corner
of Chase and Willow streets. The
city attorney said that the own
ers had been piven proper notice
to remove the building.
The council was notified by
the owners that the building
had been improved but an in
spection deemed the building
still a hazard. Therefore, the
council authorized the street,
properties and Ordinance com
mittee to let the bid for removal
of the building at the expenso
of the owners.
In other council action it was
pointed out to Fire Chief Charles
Ruggles that a call for bids for
a new city fire truck is not
possible at this time. It was
noted that the fund for this pur
pose is insufficient at the present
time to cover cost and that more
funds need to be accumulated
before the truck can be purchas
ed. A proposal was passed that the
light at the corner of Chase and
Willow streets near the Fiesta
Lanes, be left at 10,000 watts.
The output of the light was re
cently increased horn 2,500 watts
to ifs presf.nl. output as an ex
periment to see if it would help
tiie lighting pioblem at the in
teisection. The lecent opening oi
.;.e lanes increased the amount
of traffic and pedestrians at the
point and thereby made moie
adequate lighting desirable.
The council also approved in
stallation of another 10,000 watt
street light near the Elk's park
ing lot on Chase street to further
cope with the problem. These
actions were not requested by
management of the lanes but
came about when the police, de
partment felt more illumination
is necessary.
Seven bids for water works
materials for the installation of
new water lines to the new high
school were studied by the coun
cil. It was decided to turn the
bids over to the water committee
for further study with power to
let the contract.
A request for a permit by the
Church of the Nazarene for a
building to be erected at 335
Gilmore street was tabled tem
porarily by the council in order
that the blueprints of the build
ing might be presented to the
council in order to see if ade
quate parking facilities will be
provided in the church's olan-
President Greets
Mrs. Emma Gemmell
On 102nd Birthday
Happiness came doubly to
Mrs. Emma Gemmell, formerly
of Heppner who now makes
her home with her son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Gemmell, and family in
Salem. Not only was she hon
ored as one of Oregon's cen
tenarians when she reached
her 102nd birthday on October
15, but through efforts of a
close friend of more than 40
years, Mrs. Anna (Keithley)
Forquer, now of Walla Walla,
Wn., she received greetings by
special delivery telegram from
President John Kennedy.
More than 40 years ago, Mrs.
Forquer taught a Sunday
school class in Heppner and
one of her interested "stu
dents" was Mrs. Gemmell who,
incidentally, was considerably
older than Mrs. Forquer. Both
moved from here and lost track
of one another. Not long ago,
Mrs. Forquer heard from a
mutual friend that Mrs. Gem
mell was to celebrate her
102nd birthday. Going even
farther than sending her a
greeting, she decided to try
getting a greeting to her from
President Kennedy. Through
contacts with the presidential
press secretary by telephone
and letter, the telegram came
through on time to a proud
and happy Oregon Woman. Her
many good wishes and remem
brances by friends of present
and former days were also very
much enjoyed and appreciated.
Hospital Change
Made for Roy Tabor
Roy Tabor, who has been hos
pitalized in Rochester, Minn.,
since October 22, has been moved
from St. Mary's hospital to the

showing some improvement.

N. W. 14th Ave., Rochester, and
the older children have enrolled
in school there.
riing. The structure is to be a
$21,000 building.
Application for a liquor license
by the Elks' club of Heppner was
armroved bv the council along
with requests for liquor package
licenses by Thomson Bros. Groc
ery and Court Street Market.
Here is the new Super Torque FORD for 1964.
Bred in open competition, built for total performance,
it is the strongest, smoothest, steadiest car
in its field. With more steel in the suspensions,
more strength in the frame, more heft in the body,
it is hundreds of pounds more car
than anything else at the price.
Drive one-and see the difference this makes!
