Thursday, May 15, 1952 Just PERSONAL By D EW EY Lots of things have happened since I closed the form s last week to get the paper into the mails. To begin is the question—th a t is, w here to begin. F irst, let us con sider the bank and its opening - let us view for a m om ent the line ready, long before the doors w ere opened. The fact th a t a bank is h ere supersedes any o th er idea am ong the local people. E. L. M orton, in a sta te m e n t, M ondhy m orning, w ouldn’t say e x a c tly — fo r banking reasons, it m u st be understood, ju st how m any dollars w ere deposited — ju s t hoiv m any depositors came in and "did business.” H ow ever, he did tell m e than "he had no idea th a t the num ber would be, as g reat.” T h a t is indicative of w h a t Oregon S ta te BdHk m ay hope to enjoy. Gone from m ost minds, it seem s to me, is the thought th a t this « b a n k cannot do the com m unity any good. F rankly, it looks like these investors of bank stock a re ini a mood to do plenty good. I t al< ; seem s to me th a t these, or m any of them at least, have come here to m ake th eir homes, to be come p a rt of the com m unity and its civic m ovem ents. Regardless o f the past, regard less of personal ideas, there is still going to be prosperity and progress in this com m unity. I f it is not possible fo r Oregon S ta te B a n k to handle th e entire loan, The United S ta te s N ational B ank of P ortland w ill be ready to take up the additional segm ent, or the e n tire am ount. Loans which have to do icith the progress of the area should g et the attention needed, it seem s to me. * • * , S a tu rd a y evening and Sunday j afternoon Mrs. Prentices Accor dion band of Medford, en tertain ed a t the Chetco Inn Lobby, during th e m eal hours. How m any of you availed yourselves of the op p o rtu n ity to h e a r this talented group of you n g sters? If you are one, please w rite it down th at you missed som ething of a tre a t. There were sixteen in the band — ranging from a six-year-old, to a senior in high school. Each, in his, or her, own right was som e thing of an artist. Each had a BROOKINGS-HARROR PILOT. BROOKINGS. OREGON num ber of parts in the en terta in ment. Yes, that little six-year-old child sang to a num ber, to Ed Sund, Chef Adrian, Mrs. H end ricks and others. The soloist, a ju n io r in high school, had som ething m ore than just average. T here was a senior boy who could m ake his accor dion sound quite a bit like a pipe organ. Really it is am azing how such youthful faces sould be made perform like veterans of the stage of the m etropolitan areas. It was quite a show late Sat urday evening. Visitors were re luctant to leave, to perm it the youngsters to go to bed. Requests were complied with gladly no person was disappointed if he would only speak up. A nything from the popular to the classical was played u ith equal ability. • • * Sunday evening, next, will be B accalaureat services for class of 1952. W hen I think of this class I am tem pted to m ake a claim, and see if it can be equalled by any school, anyw here, at any time even back a centure. More o f ten than not, girls out-num ber the boys in num ber of graduates. B ut with this class, the story has a peculiar tw ist odd is a better word. As fa r back as the seventh grade the boys had a decided edge, fo u r or five to one. There were five girls graduating from the eighth grade— but in these four years, all of the orig inal girls dropped out fo r one reason or another. Shirley Bowlin kept it from being all boys, when she cam e to Brookings as a sophomore, and is the only girl in the c la s s —pitted w ith 16 boys. Shirley, who has brothers of her own, knows she has com petition, but is w illing to “give and tak e .” She feels she has som ething to be proud of— “only girl g raduate, with 16 boys in the class of 1952.“ On top of th a t Shirley, who was chosen to Girls S ta te last LEO PAGE SEVEN Accordion Band Thrills Listeners At Chetco Inn, Last Saturday and Sunday P L U M B IN G S .xteen y o u n g s te r s , r a n g in g in 1 age from 6 to 18 years, m em bers see*n8 the ocean tor the first time, SALES AND SERVICE of Mrs. P re n tic e ’s Accordion band sb*'nt every available m om ent on Phone 2661 Hotel Brookings of Medford, e n te rta in ed guests the beaches.
