The mountain scene is com plete with jumping fish, sailing boat and Hying birds. The artist is unidentified. P IP; ' " .'1 BERE ARE TWO more choice doodles from the C of C table. Arel they cars of the (future or of some bygone era? Although the) artist was not identified, someone theorised that perhaps he was Hailan McCurdy because "Co-op" is drawn on the tires. SCHOOL CHILDREN drew Christmas pictures used In the Decem ber 22 issue of the Gaiette-Times. but children did not draw these. They are doodles found on the tables after the Chamber of Commerce meeting In the Wagon Wheel Cafe Monday. THIS DELICATE doodle pattern reveals something of the inner workings of a complex mind and intricate thought processes perhaps. Arast was tenTOTrreiy laentaiea as Joe Bane.

Heppner's school reun 1 o n book, which involved untold hours of uork by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Bergstrom and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Marquardt in re search, locating and collecting sictures and compiling director es of students and teachers, is now readv lor distribution. The 87-page book, which is plastic bound, has been print ed by the Gazette-Times. It cen ters around the Heppner school reunion, held in 1965. and con tains a total of 207 pictures. In cluded are former teachers and students, historical pictures, pictures of the reunion, and 48 pictures of deceased students and teachers in the dedication section. The publication includes a history o: Heppner, taken from 'Yesteryears of Morrow.' and it also includes a complete ac count of proceedings at the 1965 reunion. More than 700 former students are listed in the directory and manv former teachers are also listed. While the lists are not complete, it includes all those for whom the Bergstroms and Marquardts could find current addresses. The book was a sizeable un dertaking, and there is a con siderable cost investment in it. It was the aim of the Mar quardts to offer a book that would be cherished by former teachers and students of the school. Because of an expected lim ited demand, only 300 copies were prepared, and no more can be published. The book, which is printed on top grade book paper, Ls on sale by mall from the Mar quardts at Lexington at $5.30 per copy, or it may be obtain ed at the Gazette-Times over the counter at the same price. The paper offered to sell the books on behalf of the spon sors merely as an accommoda tion. Those who agreed to pur chase books at the time of the reunion will be getting their copies in the mall soon. The Bergstroms and the Mar quardts did most of the work in connection with the reun ion, and Mrs. Bergstrom (Mar lene) Is reunion secretary.
