parents, doctors, speech clinicians
and audiologists. New students are
also tested.
The hearing screening tests the
eardrums and hearing. It takes about

notified of all test results. When
necessary, the students are referred
for more testing by doctors or the
ESD audiologist.

Tarnasky
named
HHS HOBY
ambassador
Sophomore Alecia Tarnasky has
been selected as Heppner High
School’s ambassador to the 1991
Oregon HOBY Leadership Seminar.
The purpose of the HOBY (Hugh
O’Brian Youth Foundation) seminar
is to bring together a select group of
high school sophomores who have
demonstrated leadership ability so
that they can interact with groups of
distinguished leaders in business,
government, education and the pro
fessions to discuss present and future
issues. Through informal, question-
and-answer sessions the students
have the opportunity to develop
leadership skills and an opportunity
to explore America’s incentive
system and the democratic process.
All sophomores are eligible to
apply. Contestants submit a written
application and then are interview
ed by a faculty committee. Ap
plicants are judged on their leader
ship ability, sensitivity to tothers and
their desire to communicate their
knowledge to their peers. The em
phasis is on personal incentive and
leadership potential.
Tarnasky, the daughter of Ed and
Sheridan Tarnasky of Heppner, is an
honor student at Heppner High
School. She has participated on both
dance and volleyball teams. She has
been selected as a member of the
Pipeline peer education team since
junior high school. Tarnasky has
demonstrated her leadership ability
through participation in the 4-H pro
gram and her church's youth group.
Peter Pearson, son of Frank and
Chloe Pearson of Heppner was
selected as the alternate. The four-
day, all-expense-paid seminar has
been held since 1958. Heppner High
School students have participated in
the seminar since 1987.
