Hope CorpS Started Features Norman
Several Medford High School
students visited Ashland High
School, Friday, October 6, to
discuss the possibility of estab

Hope Corps.
Along with Joanne Morton,
president of Hope Corps In

came to Ashland High to ex
plain the purposes of Hope

about this field. Being a non
profit organization, it raises
funds through many money
raising projects. These funds
are used to help in Special Edu

parties. They also help supply
the School of Hope, a private
Special Education school in
Medford, with needed equip
ment and materials.
Another purpose of Hope

about Special Education and
the progress that has been and
could be made in this field.
Already this year the Hope

of Hope with a record player.

which was attended by Ash

Education children and friends.
A dinner and nature study

members. Swimming classes
are also being held at the
YMCA in Medford given by
members of Hope Corps who
are certified instructors.
Hope Corps was founded in
1965 by a student of Southern
Oregon College, Jonele Chea
