THE HERMISTON HERALD MISTON, OREGON The High School Mirror Devoted Vol. 1 to the Interest and Editors Note: Late hour ads made # impossible for us to publish the High School Mirror and the Umatilla senool notes last week. The notes this week contain both last week’s items and this week’s news. We sin- cerely hope the school children will pardon us for skipping a week, and te will try our best not to let it hap pen again. There has been a story spread about town regarding the weiner roast held Saturday night, Novem ber 27, to the effect that after the roast, the young folks took the chap erone home and then went to Uma- tilla. This is a.serious mistake and the folks who attended the affair wish to make it known as such, be- cause such a statement does not add either to the reputation of the whole school nor to the few young folks whose names are involved in the un- ruth.
