Over The Tee Cup By MARIE McQUARRIE The Heppner High School Golf Team has had very little recognition, heretofore, by this column. The reason for this could be, they play their tournaments and meets so much earlier in the season than the regular golfing starts. Do think it is time to put these boys in the news. They probably will be future very good golfers, either here or wherever thev make their homes later on. 6 lift This is a If Hold Up fwe Want Your 1 R THE SlOODtlOBIlE 1230 to 5 p.m. fElks Bldg Hubert Wilson, Ch.
