A few students from
Mary Ann E lguezabal’s
class have been learning vo
cabulary about baseball and
softball. They have learned
about some of the sport’s
heroes, like Babe Ruth and
Jackie Robinson.
They have also learned
a few jokes.. .they might ask
you. “What animal will you
find at a ballgame?” These
youngsters can even read
and sing every word in the
song, “Take Me Out to the
Ball Game.”
The students traveled
up to the high school on
Wednesday to sing to some
o f the softball girls and
one of their coaches, Pe
tra Payne. The students
also gave Payne a bag of
Cracker Jacks, as well as a
big “good luck” to the play
ers and their coaches.

A living thermostat
There once was a boy who lived in a small house. As
he grew up, he began to realize that there were two objects
around the house that were similar, yet very different. One,
hung from an old oak tree, was a thermometer that would
tell the boy how warm or cold the air was around it; the
other was a thermostat, which his parents would adjust
if the house got to cold or warm, and within minutes this
small box on the wall had changed the air around him.
It wasn’t until the boy was much older that he finally
realized the similarities and differences between these
two objects. The thermometer, like the thermostat, had
everything to do with the temperature. The difference
was that the thermometer merely reflected its environ
ment, whereas the thermostat changed its environment
to fit its needs.
Heppner has the amazing ability to create many ther
mostats and challenge its community to grow and become
a better place. Instead of simply going with the flow, this
community has made it their personal challenge to change
the people in their environment if they need something
to happen or want to fix a vast problem.
I, as well as my classmates, have been given a gift
from this great community. We have been given the
chance to learn from our surrounding influences and
become both the thermometer and the thermostat. As we
venture out into the world and go our separate ways, some
staying close to home, others going as far as 3,000 miles
away, we get to resemble the thermometer, reflecting the
experiences Heppner has given us and showing those to
the world, as well as becoming thermostats, taking every
opportunity to set the tone around us and change our
environment for the better.
Thank you, Heppner, for giving me, as well as the
class of 2012, the gift of being a thermostat and prepar
ing me for my adventures outside of the great town of
Heppner, OR. Without your guidance, advice, leadership
and dependability, I would not be the thriving thermostat
I have become. With that, 1 would like to invite the entire
community of Heppner to my graduation party on June 1
at 5 p.m. at Terry and Linda Corbin’s house across from
the softball field. We are going to have a true celebration
with loads of food and tons of dancing until our feet hurt
and our stomachs are so full we can hardly walk.
I appreciate everything this whole community has
given to me and hope that everyone can come and help
me remember the past 13 years of my life. I would not be
same person without this great community.
