The weather was good, the
food was "really good" and the
counselors, "great" for the annual
Heppner-Ione Tupper experience
this year, according to Heppner
Elementary School teachers
Janme Allen and Bill Ewing.
Ewing and Allen, along with
lone teacher Dean Robinson and
HES teacher Dave Gunderson,
this year's camp coordinator,
taught at the sixth-grade outdoor
school which was held May 5-8
at the Tupper Work Station.
The four teachers, high school
counselors, a cook and a Forest
S ervice
re p re s e n ta tiv e
accompanied
37 kids from
Heppner and 16 from lone. Janell
Lacey, with the Forest Service,
coordinated plant and forestry
study.
Monday and Tuesday, the
students have recreation time in
the afternoon where they can
choose from a variety of
activities, including riflery,
archery, hiking, games and arts
and crafts.
The week definitely isn't all fun
and games, as the students study
map and compass reading,
weather, soil, wildlife, forestry,
water study and survival.
On Wednesday, the entourage
went to Bull Prairie where the
kids went fishing-one kid caught
six fish-and hiked around the
lake, accompanied by the
counselors. That evening they
made their own fires and cooked
their own hobo stew.
Campfires are a "big thing,"
say Allen and Ewing, with
singing,
entertainment
and
Interesting skits.
The campers are also
responsible for chores, working
in the kitchen, cleaning up their
cabins, preparing for cabin
inspections, weather duty and
flag ceremony duty. They also
decorate in front of their cabins
to make them special.
But the best part of the week is
the cooperation and sense of
community among the campers.
"It's nice to see the kids working
together," said Allen. "It's really
a week of self reliance. You have
to work together. If you bicker,
you don’t get along very well."

HHS students plan college careers
By Lonnie Rill
Another year com es to a
close at Heppner High School
and it is time for the class o f

out what comes next in their
path o f life.
For some, to
work they will go, but others
will continue their education.
Some plan to travel abroad to
schools but most are sticking
somewhat close to home.
There are many different

colleges. Schools from Idaho,
Mt.

College and Eastern Oregon
State College are some that
have been selected by this
year's seniors.
Even more

anticipated by the students
including:
helicopter
mechanics,
electrical
engineering, crim inal justice,
accounting, physical therapy,
business adm inistration, pre-
med, ag-business, engineering,
civil drafting technology,
journalism and broadcasting.

main reasons for picking their

because they are close to
home.
