Madge Coppock Thomson, who was the business teacher at
the high school during the early 1930's, has carefully
preserved quite a few Hehlsches. She hunted up her old
ckeol student body picture and her book of clippings now,
because the five classes of 1935 through 1939 are reunloning
here this weekend. Madge's picture and clippings, along with
other mementoes will be displayed at the Elks Club.
(For aome years it was customary to print the Heppner
High newspaper. "The Hehisch" In the Gazette Times. More
recently the paper has been a separate publication,.
The following excerpts should interest you. Various
mastheads declare that Alice Bleakman, Anabell Turner,
Edmond Gonty, Miriam Moyer and Arm in Wihlon served as
editors, while Ralph Breedon, Anabel Turner, Edmond
Gonty, Miriam Moyer and Alice Bleakman were listed as
having been assistant editors; reporters included Jim
Farley, Harold Ayers, Donald Drake, Rachel Anglin, Reese
Burkenbine, Farris Prock, Marcel Jones, Alice Bleakman,
John Glavey, Claire Phelan, Beth Wright, Lora Gilman,
Marie Scrivner, Florence Moyer, Anson Rugg, Mary
Driscoll, Esther Adams, Roy Gentry, Kathleen Cunningham,
Billy Thomson, Ralph Breedon, Anabel Turner, Armin
Wihlon, Edmond Gonty, Marvin Morgan and Frank
Anderson. These exerpts are from 1932 and 1933 papers which
do not all still have the date of the issue.
From the January 1, 1933 issue: The play "Seventeen" will
be given by the junior class. Admission will be 25 cents for
Adults, S cents for children at the matinee and 15 cents for
children in the evenings. Come hear Frank Anderson and
Anson Rugg serenade the girls with a beautiful, heart
breaking ballad. See Claire Phelan sputtering at the ba
bv talk heard on his front porch and Armin Wihlon in a Negro
rote. You can get the inside dope on school love affairs if you
see this play. Others in the cast include: Harold Ayers, Billy
Thomson, Francis Nickerson, Matt Kenny, Anabel Turner,
Lora Gilman, Mariam Moyer, Rachel Anglin, Florence
Moyer and Marie Scrivner.
Mr. Lumley predicts many failures in the frosh Algebra
eu unkss some intensive studying is done before the
semester exams.
Another issue tells of class elections. Mr. Bloom announces
that the election of the presidents is of special significance
because they, together with the student body officers, will
represent the students in formulating a plan for exemptions
which, it is hoped, will be more satisfactory than the present
one.
Officers elected in the senior class were: President, Hazel
Beymer; vice-president, Ted McMurdo; secretary, Viola
Brown; treasurer, Edmond Gonty; sergeant-at-arms, Wrex
Langdon; members of the Hehisch Committee, Herman
Green and Kathryn McLaughlin. This is the fifth consecutive
semester that Edmond Gonty has been treasurer of his class.
New officers of the junior class are: President, Frank
Anderson; vice-president. Alice Bleakman;, secretary,
Rachel Anglin: treasurer, Armin Wihlon; sergeant-at-arms,
Roy Gentry; members of the Hehisch committee, Anson
Rugg and Anabel Turner.
The sophomore class chose the following officers:
President, Lorena Wilson; vice-president, Howard Furlong;
secretary. Jessie French; treasurer, Joe Green; sergeant-at-arms,
Don Cowdrey ; members of the Hehisch committee,
William McRoberts and Irene Beamer.
The state income tax will be the subject of inter-class
debates. From the freshman class, Donald Turner and Dick
Benton will debate against sophomores, Joe Green and Ilene
Kilkenny. Juniors, Bill Thomson, Francis Nickerson and
Armin Wihlon, will meet seniors Winifred Case and Ted
McMurdo.
The February 9, 1933, issue tells that at an assembly held
for the purpose of Initiating new members of the H Club, a
howlingly successful program was presented. There were
three parts. First was a skit by Don Cowdrey and Claire
Phelan enacted for the purpose of showing an athlete's sense
of humor, no doubt. The second part was a skit by Reese
Burkenbine and Bill Schwarz. The point of the joke was blunt,
it's being so old. The last and most convulsive part of the
program was a speech on women by Johnny Hanna. First he
spoke of twelve of the world's most famous women, including
Margaret Nelson. When told by Roy Gentry, president of the
H Club, that hsi speech did not have the right substance,
Johnny cast some insinuating remarks about certain
members of the football squad and their "femmes."
One April issue tells that Miss H.C. Long, the state
librarian from Salem, visited the school and told the
assembled students about the state library, ft also reveals
that Howard Furlong, Margaret Lieuallen, Lorena Wilson,
Billy Cochell and Dene Kilkenny put on an exciting
sophomore class skit.
Under Class Notes we learn that the senior English class
dramatized different parts in Shakespeare's "MacBeth."
Each group in the class chose the part which they wished to
dramatize and some dressed in costumes..
An announcement was made by Mr. Lumley concerning
the frosh party which is to be given by the sophomores. He
explained that to get away from the large crowd of former
years no juniors and seniors have been invited. Mr. Lumley
suggested that the juniors and seniors should get together
and give a party.
Another April issue tells about a very successful H Club
smoker where there were a few very fast bouts, the most
interesting being: Floyd Jones vs Johnny Hanna; Matt
Kenny vs Jimmy Furlong; Don Jones vs Joe Green and
Marvin "Sullivan" Morgan vs Gene "Corbett" Florence.
The May 11, 1933, issue tells that there have been many
improvements and changes in school since the present
building was erected in 1913-14. The old classes had some
clubs which we don't have now. In 1918 there were two
literary societies and an Industrial Club. They had two school
songs and each class had a poem. The debate teams were
started in the year 1920-21. The student body handled over a
thousand dollars in the year 1921-22.
A March 9, 1933, editorial considers the inauguration of
new President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, stating that with
his stepping into the presidency a whole nation is wondering
how the democratic administration will start a new deal and
overcome the great depression.
The student council is composed of student body officers:
June Anderson, president; Herman Green, vice-president;
Beatrice Thomson, secretary; Timmy Furlong, treasurer;
and the class presidents, senior, Bill Beckett; junior, Matt
Kenny; sophomore, Floyd Jones; freshmen, Dick Benton.
A fall issue tells that a weiner roast following the football
game last Friday was held above Kelley's spring by the
senior class. A huge bonfire was made on which weiners and
marshmallows were burned or toasted and around which
games were playedjMcars accomodated the whole class
which was chaperoned by Miss Straughan and Miss
Palmltcr.
"Fads"-that's the word: the high school has gone to them.
The boys are all wearing vests without their coats. Of courseL
the girls follow suit by wearing skirts supported by brightly
colored suspenders.
Several interesting advertisements are Included in
Madge's scrapbook. One urges everyone to buy Pearl Oil in
the new refutable can. This clean-burning, uniform kerosene
re-refined by the Standard Gil Company of California can be
obtained from the following dealers: M.D. Clark Grocery,
Thomson Bros. Grocery, Hiatt & Dix Grocery, MacMarr

The gift tour presented by
the Soroptimists was very
pleasing and interesting to the
28 persons who traveled to
Canyon City last week Mon
day, July 21. They had a fine
lunch at the Senior Center in
John Day. They found the very
unusual Kam Wah Chung
Chinese Museum most inter
esting. The Oliver Historic
Museum, the Joaquin Miller
cabin and the little Greenhorn
Jail were special places visit
ed at Canyon City.
The first place of high
interest during the morning's
trip south was the attractive
blue and white home now
occupied by Rita Sumner and
family, which was remodeled
by Kelwayne Haguewood sev
eral years ago. As the bus
passed the house and its
passengers admired the place,
Leita Messenger announced
that it is the home in which she
lived with her parents just 55
years ago, when, as Leita
Barlow, she was being courted
by Truman Messenger.
The drive through the wood
ed mountain area scattered
with blooming wildlowers
was lovely. The experience
bus driver, Jack Gaymon,
skillfully avoided Tom Hus
ton's straying pigs. The fore-,
noon rest stop was at Kim-
berly, where the two Sorop
timist chaperones, Lenna
Smith and Marion Abrams,
and Neighborhood Center
Director Pat Brindle provided
everyone with a refreshing,
cold drink.
Coming north in the after
noon the bus stopped at the
Cant Ranch which is the
National Park Service Head
quarters for the John Day
Fossil Beds National Monu
ment. After looking about
there, cool drinks were served
to all at a table under the trees
on the lawn in front of the
lovely, big, old ranch house.
