MR. AND MRS. KASKEL HEPPNER of New York City had an enjoyable day in Heppner last Wed
nesday as they sought to establish his relationship to Henry Heppner. after whom this city is
named. Harold Conn (left), who is apparently a distant relative of Kaskel Heppner. took them
around the town, visiting the museum and many other points of interest The Heppners are look

New York Couple
Visits; Related
To City Founder
Mr. and Mrs. Kaskel Heppner
of New York City, who were
fascinated with Morrow county
as well as the entire western
United States, spent last Wed
nesday here trying to establish
Heppners relationship to the
man after whom the Morrow
county seat is named Henry
Heppner.
Accompanied by Harold Cohn,
grand nephew of Henry Hepp
ner, they spent the day visiting
the museum and other points
of interest, w hen tney lett, tne
relationship had not been pin-1
pointed definitely, but all were
quite sure that there is a con-
nection.
When Henry Heppner came to
th ITnitori Statps in 1K.t8. he I
landed in New York City. Kas-1 Dr. Nickerson personified the

visit Heppner and see if he could
establish the connection for
sure, and so when he and Mrs.
Heppner made their vacation
trip this year, they came to
Heppner for the first time.
They flew to California and
visited Los Angeles and Holly
wood before flying to Pendle
ton from San Francisco. At Pen
dleton, they rented a car and
drove to Hermiston, where Cohn
met them and brought them
here.
This was their first trip to the
west and they were very much
impressed. They were delighted
at traveling 15 or 20 miles en
route to Heppner and passing
only one other car, after being
used to the bustle of New York
City.
Cohn took them back to Herm
iston at the conclusion of the
day, and they drove in the rent
ed car to Portland, where they
boarded a plane for New York,
planning to be back by Sunday.
They were anxious to see the
scenery of the Columbia River
Gorge, and this was the reason
for renting the car.
Harold Cohn's father, Phil
Cohn, was a nephew of Henry
Heppner. If anyone can estab
lish the relationship of Kaskel
Heppner to Harold Cohn, he
would win the plaudits of the
family.
Halvorsen Wins
State 'B' Title
By MAC HOSKINS
Ione's Frank Halvorsen may
only be a sophomore, but what
a sophomore!
After fine seasons in both
football and basketball, the
young phenomenon added the
state "B" school high jump ti
tle last Saturday to his grow
ing list of athletic achieve
ments. Actually, his winning leap of
510" was far from his best of
the year, (he has cleared six
feet several times this season),
but it was good enough. Joe
Rosenberg of Echo took second
by soaring 5'9".
Halvorsen's teammate, Eddie
Sherman, also a sophomore, en
hanced his potential as a state
class cinderman by placing
sixth in the 100-yard dash. His
time was 10.6, which is far from
his personal best. Had he
equalled his previous best of
10.2, he would have placed
third. Duane Inman of Crow
won the century in 10 flat.
Crow easily won the "B"
championship, held on Pleasant
Hill's all-weather cinder track,
with 90 points. Powers was far
behind with 44, while Umatilla
was fifth with 26 and Pilot Rock
seventh with 19 points. Ione's
two-man squad took 18th place
with their 11 points.

open to the students four years
hence when they graduate from
college '"haven't been invented

'Don't Be Panicked'
"Some are panicked because
thev don't know what they are
eoing to do," he said, adding,
"The joy of living is in finding
yourself and you should look
forward to this looking.
"Quit taking yourselves so
seriously," he advised.

with the aspirin.
"Don't be in too
hurry to settle for
much of a
something."
"Commencement is the most
American thing we do," he said.
In her valedictory. Miss Mur
ray said. "To be truly happy
is a question of how we begin,
not how we end."
She told the class we "have
to make our own decisions and
live by them.
"This is the end of the be
ginners. We are no longer be
ginners. We are accomplished
voung adults."
Believe in America
As salutatorian, Miss Peck
told the students and audience
that this generation "believes
in America as much, if not more,
than any of the generations be
fore us."
She described newspaper ac
counts of a "sit-in" of protest
ing students proclaiming an
autocratic control by a school
administration.
"Every day we see similar
news," she said, "and we get
the mistaken impression that
these represent American youth
of today."
But she pointed out that they
are only a small percentage and
cited examples of the good
things being done by today's
youth.
"You need have no fear," she
declared. "We will accept adult
responsibilities with capable
hands."
Ed Hiemstra, one of two class
advisors, presented the class for
diplomas, and they were award
ed by Irvin Rauch, chairman of
the school board. Jan Hager, as
president of the seniors, present
ed gifts to Hiemstra and to Mrs.
Bernice Struckmeier for work
they had done as class advis
ors. The lone list of awards and
scholarships were presented by
Principal Carpented and others
from the community. They are
reported in another story.
Mrs. Karen Holland, accompa
nied by Mrs. Ola Mae Groshens,
sang a solo, "The Impossible
Dream."
The Rev. Dirk Rinehart, pas
tor of All Saints' Episcopal
church, delivered the invocation
and pronounced the benedic
tion. Processional and recession
al was by the Heppner Elemen
tary school band.

Albert Schunk Added
Attention of Chairman Turn
er was called to one of the Kor
ean campaign to be added to
the list. He is Albert Schunk,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Schunk. Those on the list are
those killed in action, missing
in action and with a finding of
death, those who died in pris
oner of war camps, or those
who died from non-combatant
causes while serving.
Printed programs were added
as an extra feature of this year's
event. They listed county offi
cers from 1885 to the present,
a short review and history of
the county, a paragraph or two
on the future prospects for the
county, the war dead, and the
program for the picnic. Through
error, the name of Judge Willi
am T. Campbell, who was coun
ty judge from 1918 until 1924,
was omitted from the list.
Harold Cohn was elected
chairman of next year's reun
ion by acclamation. He is a
nephew of Henry Heppner af
ter whom the town of Heppner
is named. Cohn will appoint a
secretary to help him with ar
rangements for next year's pic
nic. Mrs. Nora Turner served as
secretary of this year's event.
Many assisted with the picnic
here Sunday and share in the
credit for its success. Frank
Turner, who with Mrs. Guy
(Clara) Boyer was instrument
al in starting the picnic 14
years ago, arrived at 7:30 a.m.
Sunday morning at the pavil
ion to work on setting up chairs
and dusting them.
The Rebekahs, with Mrs. Ed
La Trace and Mrs. Jerry Rood
in charge, did the work in the
kitchen. Mrs. Earl (Mae) Gil
liam, Mrs. Madge Bryant and
Mrs. Emma Hager, all of the
Golden Age club, and Mrs. Wes
Sherman and Mrs. Ed Gonty of
the Soroptimist club assisted
with the registration. Rainbow
Girls helped with serving and
pouring coffee with Linda
Heath, worthy advisor, in
charge. The Rev. Al Boschee,
pastor of the Heppner Christian
church, gave the invocation and
Father Raymond Beard of the
Catholic church pronounced the
benediction.
