HEPPNER HIGH LIFE

Debate training will soon begin
under Miss Frasier. Five pupils have
already signed up for it and more
are coming in. Debate work is open
to any high school student who cares
to try out for it.
An operetta will be given by the
grades in December. 1t is sure to be
success under Mrs. Hopper's eff
cient training.
Mrs. Tom johnson, county health
nurse, has just completed a thorough
survey of the grades. All the pupils
were weighed and examined to find
whether they were normal or below.
The Juniors went on a picnic up
the creek Thursday, October 26. The
delightful evening was spent in play
ing games. With them went a great
many weenies, buns, marshmallaws,
and other delectable articles, which
were soon dispensed with. Some of
the Juniors looked rather stiff and
sore the next day, but what are a
few bruises compared with a picnic!
King Custom says the Sophomores
must have a dress-up-day, but this
year the Sophs outdid all previous
records. The girls wore overalls and
the boys, that is one of them, wore
skirts. Friday night, however, the
other boys got up their courage be-
cause it was dark, and they ap-
peared in the prescribed garb at the
theatre party. Some of the boys make
such good girls that at physical
training period they looked as if
they were in the wrong line.
Things we never hear:
"No talking in line, girls"
"The following people will make up
time after school,"
Caesar would turn over in his
grave if he heard your pronunciation"
Tomorrow we will have quiz"
"There is altogether too much
noise in here"
"If you don't understand it, why
don't you look it up in the dictionary?
That's what it was made for"
"Take your seats, everybody"
"Fours right, march"
"No speaking without permission"
Freshmen, did you all get that?"
"Ho hum" said the clock, stretch
ing out its hands and yawning. "I'm
tired of keeping watch over this old
assembly hall"
'Never mind. We get to see lot
and like it even if people do nearly
break me by sitting down so hard"
said Guys desk.
do you know about that pennant
fight?" asked the eraser. Somebody
threw me out in the hall last week
and I've been there until today when
kind hearted teacher picked me up
and brought me in here"
"Oh yes," said the clock. at was
this way. "The Sophomores got their
pennant, and put it up last Thurs
day, not thinking about it being
taken down, because it wasn't
Freshman pennant. However, the next
morning it wasn't there. The Sophs
were lamenting its disappearance
when the Seniors came last Friday.
You know how Seniors are, and they
Immediately gave the Sophs the
laugh, but the game little Sophs
pointed to the place where the SEN
ior pennant had hung, Alas, it was
bare and empty. After a few days the
Seniors began to want their precious
piece of felt back and gave final
notice that it must be returned, in
bloody manner. Then on Oct. 81
the Juniors pennant was gone. The
Juniors had felt themselves above
the other classes who fought over
paltry pennants, but now there was
great CONSERVATION in the ranks
Things got hot; We heard plots Of
violence. The classes all were ready
for action. The day was saved by Mr..
Hedrick, who made satisfactory ar
rangements with all the classes. The
pennants were returned in quite
and mysterious manner and they
will soon be back in their places
here. Perhaps they can tell wondrous
tales, then. "Shh! Here comes the
prof"

of the faculty will Judge them. Mr..
Hedrick is awarding prize of $3.50
