i SIX The Heppner Gaiette-TImM, Heppaer. Oregon. Thursday, May 12. 19R 1 r Baccalaureate fills Heppner church ith Justine WrthcifMl I v I I 11 I I i i i . Last week, on Tuesday, you may have noticed the corona around the sun which was vivid about 9:30 a.m.; however, by afternoon its visibility had faded away. The corona, which looked like a faint, circular rainbow when it was strongest, is composed of a layer of gases that makes up the outer atmosphere of the sun. Usually the unaided human eye cannot distinguish the corona's light from surrounding space because the sun itself makes the corona unnoticeable. I was so pleased to have a friend call my attention to this phenomenon, which I had never seen except during an eclipse when it looks completely different than it looked last week. That evening. Tuesday, May 13, Heppner's sixth, seventh and eighth graders performed exciting gymnastic routines during a "Character Building Exhibition Evening." Their physical education teachers, Sheri Brock and Paul Stringer, arranged the program and the students went through a variety of special exercises which they seemed to enjoy and which delighted their parents and grandparents. Last Wednesday in Irrigon and Thursday in Heppner, the candidates for county offices appeared before citizens to introduce themselves and to try to answer any questions about the postitions to which they aspired. The candidates and their family members outnumbered the citizen-voters who indicated enough interest to attend the sessions. Having a graduating senior in the house makes one more aware of the special events and special remembrances for seniors here. One especially nice memento, which was sent to every graduate of this year's classes at the four high schools in Heppner's trading area, is a very attractive golden chain with a golden pendant marked "Class of 80," which came with a hand-signed card bringing best wishes from Marlene and Randall Peterson. As you drive or walk about Heppner, surely you notice the blooms along the curve which connects Gale and May streets, across the parking lot adjoining the First National Bank? A few weeks ago that space was brightened by tulip blooms; now varieties of iris are in full bloom there. This beautification project is on city property that has been planted, weeded, trimmed and watered for many years by the Ed Gonty family. What a labor of love and fine demonstration of civic pride; what a generous gift to the community this attractive space has become. Perhaps the recent Heppner-Lexington Walkathon has stimulated more walking. Rather early one morning last week we viewed Lynnea Sargent, Cindy Green and Ginger Keithley pacing south on Court Street. A very regular walker on that street is banker. Gene Pierce, who often walks it four times a day. Almost everyone walking our block takes a long look at the well -tended Becket vegetable garden on the west side of Court. If you drove or walked past the Library-Museum Building before 9 a.m. last Saturday morning, you may have noted an impressive collection of bycicles and their riders getting set to take part in the annual Alph Theta Sorority Bike Ride to earn money to send to fight against Cystic Fibrosis. This busy election and graduation week will nearly end with a big Saturday night "roast and toast" affair at the Heppner Elks Club. Following a potluck dinner arranged by his family and friends. Orville Cutsforth will be roasted and toasted ala Hollywood under the direction of Master of Ceremonies Glenn Ward. When the plan to honor O.W. was first conceived, it was to be a "big secret" and was planned to take place at the Lexington Grange Hall. However, such secrets are difficult to keep, and the interest in the event grew rapidly causing its relocation to the Elks. Everyone is welcome to take along food to share it at 6:30. and to stay and hail the honor guest. It is always rather sad to bid farewell to departing high school graduates. In years past many of the fellows went right to work at the local mill. This year, jobs will be harder to Jocate. What good news it is to learn that the large mill at neighboring Pilot Rock has re-opened. Hopefully all the area graduates will enjoy looking about some far places on this globe : those who want work will find it; those who plan to study further will enjoy that studying; none of them will forget the community where they grew up and the families and friends here who have loved them and wished them well. 3ngratu!ations. class c?eo Riverside Boardman Rocky Steagall Mari Evans Carolyn Stuart James Gale Rollin Stubblefield Jason Gilcrease Greg Tarpenning Tamara Gillette Shinan Pasci Gary Gordanier Adam Tompkins Samuel Griffin Curtis Viall Suzann Haskell Jennifer Wenholz Wesley Ha us Lori Witt Larry Hiigel Trace Johnson Thomas Abercrombie Deana Tate Barbara Anderson Pamlyn Leggett Lonnie Anderson James Line Jennie Arispe Jeffrey McCauley Kristie Baker Robert McKee Abner Bolin Debra Michaels Connie Braat James Mills Judy Helmer Wallace Mitchell Jr. Stephen Brooks Judy Montoya Deborah Cameron Patrick Nelson Deborah Carlson Richard Pendergrass Laurie Coen Steven Pendergrass Stacy Coleman Daniel Pettigrew David Cooley Richard Pettigrew Vernon Curtis Donald Rock Joseph Daltoso James Rogers Steven Dalton William Sharkey Melanie Gieter Darla Southwell Carol Ann Donovan Carol Smith Steven Edwards Daniel Smith Pictures unavailable High School Heppner's largest church. St. Patrick's Roman Catholic, was completely filled on Sunday evening. May IB. for the Baccalaureate Service for the Heppner High School Class of 1980. The Rev. S. Michael Sheridan delivered the bac calaureate address after the host priest. Father John O'Brien, had greeted those attending. The thome "Dawn of The New Decade" was carried out in the decorations and on the program covers, designed by Mike Loft. Much of the evening's program featured student participation. The public was invited to join the students in singing "Beyond a Dream" and "Pass It On." The Rev. Mr. Sheridan's sermon, based on the Biblical story of God's long-ago call to Moses through the burning bush, stressed the need for the graduates to keep alive the youthful fire of their lives. They need, he said, to develop endurance and to "never become lukewarm ."
