Marión High School en 1965. Dur­
ante el verano piscó fresas e hizo
trabajo de agricultura.
Empezó trabajando como ayu­
dante de programa en el Centro de
Oportunidad de Woodburn en nov­
iembre. Hizo trabajo de contactos
mientras estaba empleada allá.
Sus amigos y compañeros de tra­
bajo la felicitaron con una fiesta y
la esperaban mucha suerte.
Trini es una de trece hijos y nun­
ca soñaba que tendría la oportuni­
dad de asistir a la universidad, por­
que su familia no podrían hacer
este gasto.
Está muy alegre sobre el pro­
grama de "Upward Bound" y está
agradecida que ha tenido la opor­
tunidad de ir a la universidad. Está
determinada hacer lo mejor de es­
ta oportunidad.

"I didn't mind the hitchhiking,
people were very good to me.
Hitching rides just took' a lot of
time. You see, I worked part time
too, so there was little time to
study."

Why does a young man go to
. college under these circumstanc­
es? The look in Joe's eyes tells you:-
His ambition is to be a teacher.
He w ill succeed.
Going to classes w ill be easier
next year. Joe has been accepted
into the "Upward Bound" program
at the University of Oregon. This
OEO program is special for young
people who need help in getting a
college education.
¿Por qué quiere un joven asistís
a i la universidad
bajo tales
circunstancias?
Al mirar a Joel
uno sabe. Quiere llegar a set
maestro. Tendrá éxito. Lo de asistir
a las clases le saldrá más fácil el
año que viene. Joel ha sido
aprobado para el programa "U p­
ward Bound" en la Universidad de
Oregon. Este programa del OEO
es especial para jovenes quiqnes
necesitan ayuda para conseguir una
educación universitaria.
"Last year I never thought I
could get into college," said Joe.
"Then I talked to Peter Reich, John
Hughes and Ann McBride.
They
worked at the Hillsboro Opportun­
ity Center. They encouraged’ me
and said they would do all they
could to help; and they did. It was
Ann who took me to Portland Com­
munity College. There I was ac­
cepted. John gave me a ride to
school every day for the first two
terms.
He was going to school
there too. John never accepted
payment for the rides. John fin ­
ished after tw o terms and that's
when I started to hitch hike.
"El año pasado, no pensé que
podía asistir a la universidad," dijo
Joel. "Luego hablé con Peter ReicK
John Hughes y Ann McBride'.
Trabajaban en el Centro de Opor­
tunidad de Hillsboro. Me animaron
y me dijeron que me ayudaran
todo lo posible, y lo hicieron. Era
Ann quien me llevó a Portland
Community College. Me aceptaron.
John me llevó a la escuela todas
los días para los primeros dos
trimestres. El asistía allí también.
John nunca aceptó dinero para el
pasaje. John terminó y yo tuve que
pedir pasaje con el dedo gordo
para el últim o trimestre."
"The good help I have received
along the way has made my edu­
cation possible," said Joe. "When
I am a teacher I w ill be able to
share this help w ith others."
"La buena ayuda que
he
recibido ha hecho posible mi
educación hasta ahora," dijo Joel.
"Cuando
soy
maestro, podré
compartirla para ayudar a otros.'

On June 11, tw enty people
Irom the Salem Opportunity Cen-
er went to Portland to see the
lose Parade (4 staff members, 2
nothers, and 14 children). It was
very exciting day, especially for
he children.
It was hard to be-
ieve that such beautiful floats
:ould be made from roses, daisies,
ind other flowers.
There were
nany horses, and the clown was so
lunnyi^ The colorful bands filled
fhe air w ith music. Yes, it was a
long day, but fun.
El 11 de junio, veinte personas
del Centro de Oportunidad de Sa­
lem fueron a Portland a ver el Rose
Parade. (4 miembros del VML, 2
madres, y 14 niños.)
Fue un día
interesante, especialmente para
los niños.
Fue difícil creer que
fuera posible hacer "floats" tan
bonitas de rosas, margaritas, y
otras
flores.
Hubo
muchos
caballos, y el payaso era tan
chistoso. Las bandas llenaron el
aire con música. Sí, fuer un día
largo, pero muy divertido.
M A N Y FARM WORKERS HOPE FOR TRAINING
In November, 1965, 1,346 resi­
dent seasonal farm workers over
20 years o f age were interviewed
n five counties served by the Val-
ey Migrant League.
Out of the
1,346 interviewed, 871 of these
people expressed a "w a n t" fo r
training.
It is hoped that the 871 persons
who want training w ill try very
hard to get in a training program.
This would be good fo r both the
individual and the community.
If you are really interested you
should visit the Opportunity Cen­
ter nearest you and tell them of
your interest.
They w ill tell you
what kind of training is available
and what needs to be done to take
advantage of it. — Judi Jarvill
