The program's goal is to stimulate good post-high school planning and decision making by students and to pro vide them with an introduction to the educational and career opportunities available through Oregon's four-year public col leges and universities.

Main Heppner Tony Currin wins calf roping event Tony Currin of Heppner won $1,997 at the Horse Heaven Round-up Rodeo in Ken Attendance at a 50 year class reunion should be rewarded with a badge of courage or survivorship. Underneath those wrinkles and gray hair it's sometimes difficult to recognize those teenagers that you once rubbed elbows with on a daily basis or punched in the nose or even dated. It's demoralizing to once again connect with former classmates who never seem to gain weight or change. Unfortunately it's usually the men. That's because macho guys never undergo childbirth, become worrywarts or manage to ignore the strife of rearing a family. How unfair that those scruffy, pipsqueak boys turn into distinguished-looking men. Though I wasn't a member of the class of 1945 celebrating their 50th reunion recently, I perceived this occasion as a time to re mind those attending that regardless of their worldly status, I should still be revered as an upper classmate, if only by one year, as well as a hometown survivor. Class reunions are a time to find out about accomplishments, especially from those who are the biggest braggarts. When it comes to grandchildren's pictures I suspect that some of those photos are borrowed-my generation couldn't have handed down that many high-quality genes. It's also a time for some folks to revisit their roots except those of us who never got far from the tree. Unlike metro areas, most Heppner kids came up through the grades together, pimples and all, while picking our noses and tinding ways to make sure that others got into trouble. Some of these alumni returnees even demonstrated their physical stamina by playing golf. There wasn't a local golf course in those-‘'good ol' days". But we could sure kick a ball around a vacant lot when we weren't busy kicking each other. We also played a mean game as hotshot baseball players on the rocky, rough ground called lower field except when the ball ended up floating down Willow Creek. Betty Coxen Hoyt, still married to that handsome hunk from ,, the class of '43, reminisced about Heppner's changing face. Bet ty's apparent fondness for sweets brought back memories of Scot ty's ice cream parlor in the old Heppner Hotel building and the demise of the building where her father once barbered wiggly heads. Somehow the class of '45 ended up with more male graduates. Our class was down to about four boys by graduation time. For our senior prom the girls often relied on male cousins, grabbed a soldier on leave or stooped to dating an underclassman. Perhaps our male classmates were run out of town by us gregariuos girls or else we were known for giving the best going-away parties as boys entered the military during World War II. It's a wonder that any of us were allowed to graduate after student body members banded together, goose-stepping in unison, and gave Supt. George Corwin a Nazi-type salute. How many of those class prophecies written in annuals came true? Guys like Jack Edmondson, Portland, talked about military service and playing on championship football teams. As most of that class gravitated to other areas, perhaps they've tacked on some impressive titles as heads of corporations. Who would have thought that the once-scrawny Jack Pickens, Spokane, would spend 23 years in the Air Force and have another career with the government? He certainly did grow up. But then everyone in this class couldn't become notorious in local circles like County Commissioner Raymond French or the illustrous former Pendleton mayor Joe McLaughlin. Anyone who ever knew Ted Ferguson would question his statement that he maintains a low profile in Gold Beach, after retiring as the owner- operator for 36 years of a men's clothing store. And how about that "gone native" Freddie Rugg, who lives in Juneau, Alaska. It was also heart-warming to hear former country bumpkins, Jean Turner Runnion and Pat Kenny Erwin, complain about the con gestion and traffic in their Willamette Valley area. Serves them right for deserting my neighborhood. Nevertheless, it was great to renew old acquaintances, even though they've aged better than I have. *‘j> ■ :• 1 . - r • .

CAAB C8TLY 9 am F T 20, 1995 STATE_____ Z I P L I, 1995 In an effort to obtain youth input for the Commission on Children & Families, two Youth Advisory Committees will soon be established, one in the north and one in the south end of the county. The committees will be made up of youth volunteers between 14-19 years of age coming from all ethnic, cultural, socio-economic and educational backgrounds, said a commission news release. The committees will be super vised by the commission staff but in a "shadow leadership" advisory role only. The teens will develop their own by-laws, goals and objectives, plan their agendas, run the meetings and will provide representation to the Commission on Children & Families. According to Dar Merrill, ex ecutive director for the commis sion, there are several benefits that will come from these youth advisory committees. "The committees provide oppor tunities for youth to advise the commission and other agencies on issues, policies and pro grams concerning children and youth interests in Morrow County," said Merrill. "They provide a forum whereby youth may have an input into policy issues decided on by the commission that directly im pact youth. This will give com mission members a greater perspective of the issues at hand and allow them to make better informed decisions. Secondly, the youth advisory committees bring county youth from various walks of life together to work on issues that they are jointly concerned about. They will be able to in fluence policy and really make a difference in the community. Thirdly, by participating on the committees, the youth learn skills in leadership, decision making, group participation, planning and community in volvement. The skills learned in the committees will augment and put into practice those things learned in school." Further information and ap plications for the Youth Ad visory Committees can be ob tained from school counselors or through the Commission on Children & Families by calling 676-9675.
