ROLAND PARKS VISITS CHICAGO Mr. Parks, president of Ore- on high school principals, flew i strato-cruiser back to the Chicago National Convention on Jan. 24 to March 1. While in Chicago, Mr. Parks learned many good ideas in high school administration. Two of these were to prepare stu dents more fully for the coming atomic age and to make gradu ation requirements more strict. The atomic age will present good opportunities and the stricter graduation requi r e- ments will oblige the students to take more math, science, and social sciences, thus preparing them for this new age. In addition to business, Mr. Parks went to an ice hockey game, the cinerama, and visited ,the Museum of Art, Chicago lAquarium and the Merchandise Mart.
