Around About
By Justine Weatherford
The graduation ceremonies at lone and Heppner High
schools brought many people to South Morrow this last
weekend. These programs were very pleasing; each school
used slide projections showing its graduates. These informal
pictures accompanied by narration were new and interesting
additions to the usual ceremonies. It was thrilling to hear the,
announcements that the outstanding students at each school
were being acknowledged by so many scholarships and
grants. It seems to me that the student speakers, the
salutatonans and valedictorians and others, were perform
ing especially capably this year.
Visitors at my home on Saturday were Lela (Briedenbach).
Peterson and her husband Ron, from Payette, Idaho, who
along with members of three generations of her family had
come to Heppner to celebrate Lela's brother John's
graduation. Lela and her husband are employed in Payette
where they are starting to buy a home.
Along with the graduations, another big event of the
weekend was the 80th birthday party for Orville Cutsforth
that was held on Sunday's beautiful afternoon. Many friends
and most members of the extended Cutsforth family from far
and near came to show their love and appreciation to Orville.
His sister Maude Pointer, all of his children and their mates,
many grandchildren and great-grandchildren , too, gathered
to make the party a tremendous success and to wish O.W.
many more birthday celebrations.
A few folks went farther into the mountains than Cutsforth
Park last weekend. I hear that Glen Ward broke a trail into
Penland Lake recently and that Eleanor and Tom Gonty
drove into the Gonty's cabin there on Saturday. Many
families enjoy that lake which was created because Orville
Cutsforth had the vision and energy and know how to see that
it was built.
During last week, I met one afternoon with a group of
women, called together by County Historical Society leader
Delpha Jones, who are especially interested in beginning to
write down various stories of historical interest about this
county. Several of the ladies have good starts on unusual
stories.
The middle part of last Wednesday, along with other senior
citizens, I really enjoyed the lunchtime musical program put
on by Ione's Cathy Barker, pastor of the lone United Church
of Christ.
On Thursday, a seven -person group from the Heppner
Morrow Chamber of Commerce visited the luncheon meeting
of the Boardman Commercial Club. I had not stopped in
Boardman for a long time and could see several changes
taking place there. Everyone seemed excited and pleased
with the new weekly paper, the Boardman Enterpise, which
had just published its third edition. Big plans were being
made for the celebration of July 4 in that river community.
ince the rebuilding project started on the south section of
the Bombing Range Road, I have made eight trips (four each
i to our north county, and I have traveled three different.

Kris Donaldson, an American Field Service
student from Australia, who attended and
graduated from Heppner High School this
year, presented her country's flag to John
Murray, student body president, as a symbol
of good will. The flag was presented at an
Awards Assembly at the school last Monday,
May 17.
The flag was given to Donaldson by her
local government before she left the country,
to present to the high school.

Lions to sponsor dessert-theater

alternate routes. First, when 1 drove to Cheney, I chose to
take the designated detour which didn't seem to take too long
but which was a trifle dusty. Then when I rode with Lynnea
Sargent to Irrigon, she did not turn eastward at Cutsforth
Corner but continued north along a route that also included
gravelled stretches. The Extension spring bustrip detoured
via lone where we turned east and rode on pavement all the
way. Last Thursday I enjoyed riding to Boardman with
"Lucky" Felt and John Maas via the designated detour.
My neighbors. Bill and Margee Myers, traveled to the
Malhuer Wildlife Refuge last weekend. They were part of the
group of us who were disappointed when this spring's BMCC
hip to the refuge was cancelled. The Myers said they saw
fewer birds and lots more water there than we saw last year.
For the second year, the children of the United Methodist
Sunday School have performed an interesting ritual on a May
Sunday. They released helium-filled balloons containing the
Bible verses they had memorized. Each child was given one
balloon for each verse memorized, which contained that
child's name and the verse. Last year the rain dampened the
children, their balloons and their supporting congregation,
but last Sunday was a great day for balloon releasing and the ,
many colored rubber circles quickly rose to great heights
and were soon invisible. They positively demonstrated that
the prevailing winds at that time were blowing from
southwest toward the northeast.
The out-going Sunday School Superintendent, Joy Krein,
has included this event along with other interesting, exciting
activities that the devoted teachers have arranged for their
lively Sunday morning classes, beginning with three-year-olds
and including sixth graders.
Although I do not foresee traveling to Scandinavia, I have
really enjoyed seeing parts of these northern hemisphere
countries vicariously because of the descriptions shared by
Mary Goheen who recently made a special tour around and
about that part of the world. Mary was invited to be a
passenger on the maiden voyage of the Lindblad Tour's
Motorship POLARIS. Mary is surely one of the greatest
world travelers now living in Heppner. Many of us remember
her mother, the late Clara B. Gertson, who did considerable
traveling, too.
Since this is the last week of school for students, we think
activities will be slowing as many people become involved
with summer work schedules and possible vacation plans.
