That Time of the Year Again!
It s about that time of year acain time for college students
to head bv their various trails back home. And whatprav tell,
may all the excitement and confusion be? Why, its Thanksgiv
inc. of course! . , , . .
Relatives and friends alike make it a special event they re
not to soon forget. .
When the f'nal bell has sounded for the meal, everyone makes
a mad dash for the food. Usually they start with adults and work
the way down, so by the time the food comes around to us It's
onlv scraps that remain. There's only one way to overcome this
problem Get more food! ...
Bv the time Thanksgiving is completed the college students
vanish back to college and the friends and relatives leave for
their separate homes. Whether young or old, by the end of this
eventful holiday, we are all far too tired or sick to worry about
food. Vmil Christmas Day that is!
Old Pop Machine Not Alone
That noor old DOD machine is not alone in the hall any
more. It seems that a newcomer has taken over the position as
break period gathering place.
Thic new mflrhine doesn't swll forth dod and ice into a cup
it doesn't take the place of a healtniui meal at luncnume; it
doesn't lend its products to some more of those mysterious ail
ments that sometimes befall teenagers. Nope. No acne and tired
blood from this machine! It gives out healthful, delicious, non
fattening, homogenized, vitamin D-added, cold, foamy, Moo Juice.
(Better known as milk.)
Yes, now you can, by just depositing one thin dime into a
machine in the hall, get milk, both plain and chocolate, or if
you wish you can get an orange drink in a handy, plastic-coated
carton.
One thing is wrong, though; this monster does not take quar
ters: Manv an aspiring milk drinker has had to go dry because
he didn't "have change. It seems now that the most common
greeting in the hall is, "Have you got change for a quarter?"
Maybe we should have a change-making machine in the hall,
too!
Hehisch Expresses Gratitude
The HEHISCH would like to extend a thank-you to Mr. Wes
Sherman and his staff at the Gazette-Times for the wonderful
job they have done on the past two issues of the HEHISCH.
Our otaff is particularly proud of these papers since they are
the first of this kind we have had published. We plan to have
more issues like these once each month by alternating the dupli
cated issues with those printed at the Gazette-Times.
Due to the fact that the HEHISCH uses no advertising, we
are on a low budget. Fortunately the Gazete-Times prints the
HEHISCH at a rate which is much lower than most high schools
which have printed publications must pay.
The HEHISCH is again extremely grateful to the Gazette
Times for the time, effort and guidance given in printing our
paper.

Plenty of excitement filled
the scene, Thursday, November
10, when the Heppner Chapter
of the Future Business Leaders
of America held its initiation of
new members. The initiates
were "kid-napped" from their
homes at 7:00 p.m. and blind

a maze of cardboard boxes,

Speech Class Play
Proves Successful
'The Bride's Stand-in," a play
recently produced by one of
the Heppner High school speech
classes, collected $151.48 from
ticket sales. This amount of
money will go Into the Speech

-from ED DICK:
Don't vean out yomr

engines gasoline or diesel in seconds. This prevents wear the cylinders and
rings suffer on slow starts. Saves batteries and money.
You can use Chevron Starting Fluid with a capsule
cup installation or you can get it in a handy spray can.
Either way, it's inexpensive, sa.THZZtff&a-
