The H eppner H igh
School class of 1962 cel­
ebrated their 50th class re­
union at the Morrow Coun­
ty Fairgrounds in Heppner
July 27-29.
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

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.
