October 4, 1979 Women's volleyball team ranks second The women's volleyball team at Heppner High School is still in second place in the Columbia Basin Conference after two league victories last week. The varsity team beat Sherman 15-7 and 15-12. Geri Grieb was the high server. "They all played a pretty good game, "Karen Howe, as sistant coach, said. In the junior varsity contest, Heppner won again. Sherman won the first game 15-8 but Heppner came back to win the final two games 15-11 and 15-13. "Sherman is not that easy of a team to beat," Howe said. The C team lost to Sherman 15-7 and 15-9. All three of the Heppner teams won against Riverside. The varsity team was a little overconfident in the first game and they lost 15-12. They came back to win in the second game 15-11 and the last game 15-4. Greib was again the high server. "They did not play as well as they could have because they knew they could beat Riverside," Howe said. "They could not get their serves in but they did all right once they got going." The JV team won 15-10 and 15-8 and the C team won 15-9 in the first game but lost the second one 15-10 and they came on strong to win going away in the last game 15-6. The Heppner varsity team is second to Condon in the league standings with a 4-1 record. Condon is 5-0. . i ' Ione's band performs for Cardinal games i ;wc; ;y-jr4 v? tone's 28-piece Cardinal Band performs at home foot ball games.

Heppner High School stu dents scored quite a bit lower on the average, than the state average for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (S.A.T.) last year, according to Michelle Portman, counselor at the school. The S.A.T. test is given to high school seniors who are interested in going to college. High school counselors use the test results in helping the student decide on what col leges to attend. The S.A.T. test for this year's seniors will be given Dec. 1 at Heppner High School. Applications must be mailed and completed by Oct. 24. The cost is $8.25. Portman said students last year averaged a score of 382.1 on the verbal part of the S.A.T. examination. The Oregon state average on that part was 434. The 434 score was three points down from the year before in Oregon but still seven points ahead of the national average. On the math portion, Hepp ner High School students scored an average of 412.5. The Oregon state average was 4(fi, down three points from the previous year and one point below the national level. Of the 32 Heppner students who took the test, 10 were above the Oregon and national average in the verbal portion of the test. Ten were also above the state and national average in the math portion. The high achiever at Hepp ner High had scores of 570 on both sections of the test. Eleven students were above the state arid national average on the overall test results. "I think our scores are competitive." Portman said. Both the Oregon and na tional scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test dropped, State School Supt. Verne A. Duncan reported but Oregon's score on the achievement tests increased while the national average declined. "Although I'm disappointed that the S.A.T. scores dropped." Duncan said, "my disappointment is offset some what by our outstanding performance on the achieve ment tests which, unlike the . S.A.T.. measure what a stu dent has learned." Both tests are conducted annually by the College En trance Examination Board. About 12,300 Oregon seniors took the S.A.T... 400 fewer than the number in 1978. ; Oregon boys outperformed girls on both portions of the Better lighting asked for football field John Sporseen, head foot ball coach at Heppner High School, was the guest speaker at the Heppner Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday. He started out talking about his football team but ended up asking the chamber about improving the lighting on the football field at the fair grounds. There was a motion made to form a committee to check into the lighting situation. Sporseen did some checking of his own before going to the meeting. "The lights are old, the wires are in bad shape and the lights are far away from the field," Sporseen said. "Quartz lighting will last longer than the present lighting, it is better light and less lights are needed." Sporseen said the quartz lights cost about $60 apiece and four would be needed on each of the seven existing poles. There are about 12 lights on each pole now. He also said the quartz lights only have to be about 45 feet off the ground while the present lights are about 80 feet up. This would mean the cost of replacing the poles when they go bad would cost less. The possibility of blending in the new lights a little bit at a time was also brought out at the meeting. Most of Sporseen's talk was on his football team. He was not too boastful in his predic tion because he said, "I predict we will win at least four games this year, (the team has already won four games). Every time I go out on a limb and make a prediction, something messes up." Later on, Sporseen did say, "We will win first place in the league." If they go, Heppner will be the home team in the district playoffs against the District VI second place team. If they win that one, they will be at home in the next district round too. There are three district games before a team can go to state. If the team comes in second place, any district games they play will be away from home. Sporseen said Pilot Rock is the only "tough" game left on the schedule but that any of the other teams can be "tough" because anything can happen. He said Heppner was hurt by penalitesilast week but the team is improving. After four games, Sporseen is very proud of the fact that Heppner's opponents have gained minus 16 yards rushing. "No team can win if they don't run against us." Spor seen said. "Teams are trying to pass against us too much and even through they are getting yardage, they can't win that way. "Right now, we don't want to have any letdowns or serious injuries. We are hav ing fun and the team is very enjoyable to work with. We have about 50 players turning out but we would like about 60. That way we would not have to have players playing both wavs." Y --- II : i: ii i-rHii SAVE YOUR HIDES DEER ELK CATTLE FOR THE ELIC HIDE PROGRAM DP0E 358 Itav your hides at: Jerry's Mobil ilkt Parking lot Heppner Chevron Hides are used in the Vet's Hospital programs. 6 0 fSAve SAVE ''''A ChZcK fives ftese faeoi 8agsi -Sofa iqqo Sleepers qq v K Of BUDGET CEHTER S.A.T. They scored 437 on the verbal test while the girls averaged 431, and they scored 496 on the math test while the girls averaged 441. About 900 more girls than boys took the S.A.T. in Oregon. The S.A.T. helps determine a student's apparent pre paredness for college. Scores are computed on a scale of 200 to 800. The math test mea sures a student's problem solving skills in three areas: arithmetic reasoning, elemen tary algebra and geometry. The verbal portion covers four areas: antonyms, analogies, sentence completion and read ing comprehension. Oregon seniors scored higher than their national contemporaries on 10 of the 11 achievement tests. They aver aged 582 on the tests, five points above their perfor mance score in 1978. The national average was 529, a drop of two points from the previous year. About 600 Oregon students took each achievement test.
