HHS investing team earns top honors
The Stock market team of (front l-r) Trent Hughes, Chad Skroch,
Tracy Blodgett; (back) Rondi Robinson, Brent Wright and instruc­
tor Dale Conklin, finished second in the state in the stock market
game making ‘big bucks’.
Five Heppner High School
seniors earned a profit of
$42,706 in just 10 weeks by in­
vesting in the stock market.
Hypothetically, that is.
TTie seniors in Dale Conklin's
second semester economics
class at HHS have just recent­
ly completed their participation
in the statewide Stock Market
Game. The team of Rondi
Robinson, Chad Skroch, Tracy
Blodgett, Trent Hughes and
Brent Wright have a lot to brag
about, said Conklin. Their team
finished first out of 178 teams
competing in the southern and
eastern region of the state and
earned a second place finish
out of around 500 teams in the
statewide competition.
The purpose of the game is
to take an initial $100,000, in­
vest it in the market, and make
a profit on the investment dur­
ing a 10 week session. The
game was developed 20 years
ago as an interesting and
motivating device to teach
students about economics,
financial markets, and the stock
market.
Through the game, students
are asked to identify and inter­
pret basic economic concepts;
reinforce and integrate mathe­
matic concepts; recognize and
explain various forms of busi­
ness organization; examine the
impact of current political and
economic events on changing
stock prices; use the newspaper
and other media to gather in­
formation, and to have fun
while learning.
Skroch, the team captain,
had several comments to make
about the game. "It was fun,"
he said. "You certainly learn
the value of working together
cooperatively." When asked
the secret to the team's success,
Skroch replied, "Research, and
a little luck."
Stock market teams are al­
lowed to borrow up to an ad­
ditional $100,000 and buy on
margin, as is allowed in the real
world. The successful HHS
team ened up investing a total
$188,425. "M on ey makes
money," said Skroch.
Conklin, team advisor, plac­
ed first in the state among
teacher/adult teams participat­
ing in the event sponsored by
the Oregon Council on Eco­
nomic Education.
The five students and their
teacher have been invited to at­
tend a special awards banquet
on Tuesday, May 23, at the
Multnomah Athletic Club in
Portland. "Unfortunately, we
probably won't be able to at­
tend," said Conklin. "It's just
too far and our high school
academics awards are schedul­
ed for the same tim e."

ed as early in the year as in
U.S. schools
School is structured different­
ly in Germany too. In the
seventh grade students decide
if they want to continue their
education, pursue a trade or
quit school. Then after the 10th
grade, the students who want
higher education will go to
"gym nasium " where they
study in different schools, such
as language, science or art.
After their 13th year, they then
can go on to a university. After
the 10th grade those who want
to pursue a trade will work two
days and attend school for
three days. Some students also
opt to quit and go to work full
time after the 10th grade.
Anne decided to go on for
higher education. She says that
many of her friends opted to
quit school or learn a trade.
Many of her friends at the
school she attends now are also
in exchange programs to help
them learn a language. One
friend is in Kansas City,
another is in Chicago and two
others, who haven't kept in
contact, are also in the U.S.
This is not Anne's first ex­
perience in the U.S. She spent
a summer with her mother's
cousin who lives in the East
and works for the World Bank.
She was able to visit New York
and Washington, D.C. " I like
the people here," says Anne.
"They're really open, friend­
ly ." And since her arrival in
lone, she has had the oppor­
tunity to visit Portland, which
she fell in love with. "I really,
really like Portland," she adds.
"It's kind of like Berlin." She
also visited Astoria and travel­
ed down the Oregon Coast.
Anne's father, Bemd, was
able to visit her during
Christmas. He travels exten­
sively, restoring furniture,
paintings and other art work.
Anne has visited him on
business trips to France, Den­
mark, Czechoslovakia and
Poland. He is in Cuba now.
Anne's mother, Brigitte, owns
a restaurant. Brigitte plans a
trip to the U.S. in June and she
and Anne have scheduled a
10-day trip to San Francisco
before Anne returns to Ger­
many. Anne also has a 13 year-
old brother, Max, a cat and two
dogs at home.
The family lives in an apart­
ment, like "everyone" else,
because there is no room for
houses and it would be too ex­
pensive, says Anne.
In addition to Della, who is
employed with the waste
management facility at Arl­
ington, and Loren, who is a
rancher, Anne's host family in­
cludes Susie, 16, who is a
sophomore at lone High
School. A son, Deacon, attends
college in Pendleton.
Definitely bitten by the travel
bug, Anne hopes someday to
return to Portland and also
wants to visit Iceland to visit

dent she met in lone and

previously lived with Gale and
Betty Gray during his exhange
program. Following Gale's
death, he returned for several
months to be with Betty.
