THIS ELABORATE doodle, drawn oa a papr place mat and picked up Irom the table at the Cham
ber of Commerce Monday, shows artistry of some member as his subconscious wanders to the
great out-oi -doors while listening to proceedings at the meeting. The mountain scene is com
plete with jumping fish, sailing boat and Hying birds. The artist is unidentified.

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.

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.
Another reunion for the Hepp
ner schools is planned for 1970.
