On Friday evening, the group gathered at the new covered picnic area to enjoy an evening of snacks, drinks and socializing. It was a wonderful time get ting reacquainted with old friends, some of whom had not seen each other for 50 years. On Saturday afternoon, class members and their families were invited to Ar chie and Diana Ball’s house for an afternoon of games, reminiscing about old times and getting caught up on what everyone was doing currently in their lives. That evening, the group gathered back at the fairgrounds to enjoy a catered meal in the main hall and entertainment provided by Linda Van Winkle. Decorations were pro vided by the reunion com mittee, including pictures of each graduate in 1962. Alongside was a table with pictures of the six deceased class members: Sarah Mae Burnside, Jim Cason, John Jay Stratton, Joyce Neil- son, Ron Kinoshita and Hazel McDaniel. Another display contained copies of the Heppner High School new spaper, H EHISCH, with various articles re garding academic, athletic and other achievements of class members. Still another display contained copies of the Heppner Ponies annuals from class members’ grade- school days, courtesy of Shirley George. Many had a great time perusing the materials and looking up those long-ago teachers that m em ories failed to recall. Many did recall favorite teachers who made a lasting im print on their lives, such as grade-school teachers Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Bechdolt, Mrs. Ogletree, Mrs. Kelly, Ms. Glavey and Mrs. Erwin, as well as high-school teachers Mr. Huggett, Mrs. Lanham, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk, Mr. Agee, Mr. Cantonwine and others. All spoke fondly of our high-school principal, Mr. Pratt. Stories of pranks and other activities were shared for the first time in many years. Most of the evening, however, was enjoyed by seeing how classmates had lived their lives and enjoyed their successes. Many re newed contacts with each other and vowed to stay in touch. Twenty-eight of the original class o f 42 were able to attend, and all agreed that the next reunion in 10 years would be on their calendar of things to be sure to do. Special recognition for organizing events and fa cilities goes to the reunion committee comprised of Beverly Blake Fitzgerald, Sandra H arshm an Rill, Shirlee Gaines Sweigart, A rchie and Diana Ball, Merlin Hughes, Kit and Shirley George, and Bruce and Diane McCurdy Moyer. The committee would ad ditionally like to recognize Linda Van Winkle for act ing as emcee and provid ing entertainment, Archie and Diana Ball for host ing the Saturday afternoon get-together, and Beverly Blake Fitzgerald for putting together the reunion book with information from each class member. Pool closes for Kinzua lunch group season this week just how much time and thought the club puts into their projects. It’s a shame no one got to see what they could do because wetting the field at 10 a.m. was considered more important that allowing the club to show their stuff. Sincerely, Shirley Palmer Heppner School supplies appreciated I arrived at school this week and found an awesome surprise in my classroom... the Bank of Eastern Oregon had delivered five boxes of school supplies to our school. Several people have dropped off supplies at my house or at school, and last week I even accepted a cash contribu tion at church. A couple of years ago, we were pleased to receive a generous check from a Heppner Gazette reader in the Bend area. I also have a special friend who usually buys all of the calculators for our school. One fellow loves to go shopping, and brings a backpack full of supplies for each grade. All of this outpouring of kindness will help countless children throughout the school year. If each of you gener ous donors could see the faces o f the children when they come to my room to collect their supplies, you would feel good all over. Their faces radiate with excitement, thanks and confidence as they pick up their needed materials. They leave my room glowing and ready to start school. 1 distribute the majority of supplies the first month of school. However, throughout the school year, 1 continue to give supplies to any student in need. Please know the need for supplies lasts all year long. We are still in need of Kleenex, backpacks, pencil sharpeners, pencil top erasers, colored pencils, little pencil pouches and markers. The Bank o f Eastern Oregon and each and every donor helps make our school supplies drive the best in the world.
