Awards Assembly
Date Reset May 31
The Awards Assembly, which
was scheduled for Mnv 25 at
the Heppner High cafetorium,
hus been postponed until Tues
day, May 31. nt 7:30 p.m. The
reason fur the change Is that
certain awards have not been
received.
There comes a time every
vear when the little kiddles
that have been languishing In
good old Heppner High for the
last four years leave those of
ua that have not had the ques
tionable honor of being In
school as long as they have.
When that happens, we poor
unfia-tunate look at the long,
years thut we have been sub
jected to Ignominies and scorn
and feel bad because they are
leaving us.
Just think, next year the Jun
iors will be seniors and can act
Just as seniors are aupiwsed to
act. The sophomores will sud
denly transform themselves In
to Juniors and will begin to
hove the teachers lay the work,
on them. The freshmen will be
come sophomores and can look
down upon the freshmen that
are coming up from the eighth
grade.
No matter what, we will miss
the graduates and will probab
ly remember some of them as
long as we live.

track meet by taking either
first or second In the District 7-
A-2 championships held In On
tario last Saturday.
Although Coach Don McClure
entered most of his boys In on
ly one event so as to Insure
peak Individual performances,
the Mustangs still racked up 44
points. This placed them in fifth
place behind powerful Burns
(113), Madras nun, Nyssa mi,
and Vale (64).
Top Heppner time of the day
was posted by two-mller lim
Smith, who smashed his former
school record of 10:15.4 in the
fine time of 10:07.3. Although
Smith has so far chopped off
nearly 25 seconds from the pre
16 achool standard, he still
had to settle for second place
behind Wahtonka's wondrous
Phil Berthold.
Dave Hall, as fine a sopho
more spiker as Heppner has
ever seen In many years, sliced
over the 120-yard high hurdles
In 15.5, which set a new meet
record by 2 of a second.
Senior Tim Driscoll, nearlng
the end of a remarkable ath
letic career at HHS, came home
as 880-yard blue ribbon winner
In 2:00.9, though there was no
serious competition.
Gutty Mustang mller Mark
Brown finished second in 4:52.0,
which Is one of his better times
of the year.
Low hurdler Ken Morgan,
who took third place will
also go to state should either
the first or second place fin
isher be unable to make the
trip.
Heppner also took three sixth
plcaes. Bill McLeod ran the
best mile of his life In 4:58.1,
and Steve Wagcnblast flipped
the discus 132 feet. Pole vault
ace Mick Kindle also nabbed a
sixth with his 10'6" leap. Un
fortunately, this was far under
his school record best or. 12 o .
McClure attributed this largely
to Mick's difficulty in adjusting
to Ontario's unfamiliar asphalt
runway.
Hall, Brown, Driscoll , and
Smith will leave with Coach.
McClure for the two-day state
meet at Corvallls some time
Friday. According to times post
ed in the various district meets
the past week-end, Heppner
will probably score several
points and could even win an
event or two.
Hehisch Editor
Holds Interview
Wth Dr. Minear
By TOM RAWLINS
An Interview with Dr. Leon
Minear, State Superintendent of
lublic Instruction, revealed
some little known facts about
our state school system.
At his press conference at the
Pendleton Municipal Airport
last I-rlday, he opened by say
ing that the Oregon school sys
tem Is one of the finest in the
United States. He said that the
reason for this high standard is
that. "We are a people that val
ue highly, public education."
As a result of the fact that
the people of Oregon value ed
ucation so highly, we put more
money into It than any other
state with the exceptions of
Alaska, Hawaii, and New York,
according to information de
livered at the conference.
With this great expenditure
the state school system has
achieved standards which put
Oregon tenth grade students
one and three-fourths years
ahead of the national average
In the math and science fields,
and average In English compo
sition. The state has also at
tained a position of second high
In literacy in the nation.
Dr. Minear Is opposed to a
decrease In property taxes be
cause he feels that If the tax
es were to be lessened It would
become necessary for the aver
age high school superintendent
to release 40 percent of his
teachers or decrease their sal
arise by that amount
Other information about Dr.
Minear given out at the confer
ence was delivered by Mr. Bro-
eiottl. chairman of the State
Board of Education.
Dr. Minear has helped orga
nize the school system In West
Germany, and has had requests
to help in Liberia and Puerto
Rico. Dr. Minear said, "inese
Invitations to help do not come
lightly but as a recognition of
the United States school sys
tern."
