Heppner Ore, May 19.-The pupils
Of the Heppner high school presented
the play, "Hiawatha." last Saturday
night at Roberts hall, which proved
a great success. The hall was filled
to its utmost capacity even to stand
ing room. The splendid makeup of
the Indians and lovely arrangement Of
the stage made the play very pictur-
esque, and was indeed much differ
ent than any performance ever at
tempted before. The smoothness
with which the play ran showed much
care in the work of preparation on the
part of their teacher. Miss Heller. An
additional surprise to the adience
was the selections by the newly or
ganized orchestra, under the direction
of Koehnke, instructor in music in
the Heppner school. For their first
appearance the selections rendered
were exceptionally good. The rest Of
the music for the evening consisted
of instrumental solos and duets by
Miss Virginia Crawford and Miss
Minnalena Cameron.
This is to be the only entertain
ment of any kind given this year by
the high school, for owing to the fact
that the school board is at last to an
mex the much needed twelfth grade to
the high school there will be no grad
uating exercises this year.
