A WORD TO THE WISE is suf
ficient, or so they say ... so here's
a word or so tor the mothers of
graduating high school girls. It.
seems that some of the girls have
been doing a Utile gold-digging for
new frocks for the baccalaureate
services at the Elslnore June second
. . . Mothers here and there have
been a bit perturbed about the sup
posed requirement of n new bacca
laureate bib 'n' tucker. They needn't
be, as official word has It that the
only requirement is a new pastel
model for graduation day. . . We
hope we haven't put too many girls
in that well-known dog house.

one years ago this past fall Miss
Cosper took her first teaching po
sition after her completion of Wil
lamette university. A timid young
girl, she was a little terrified of her
first school superintendent (she
has had 13 others as her superiors
since then) when first he came to
call. He greeted her with a "How
are you making It, little girl?"
and went on to say he'd take her
class for the rest of the day It -
was all a Jest, of course, but it made
the retiscent' young teacher feel at
once that the superintendent was
interested in her and as human as
anyone else.
She's never stopped pursuing
knowledge for a moment. Tremen
dously well read In the adult neio,
she also knows the newest and the
finest in children's books. Just this
past year her pet project has been
the acquisition of a Garfield li
brary . . . the books have been '
bought from the proceeds oi paper
drives conducted by the children.
Good pictures fill the rooms of the
Garfield school. They were chosen
by Miss Cosper and hung in each
room. Three charming pieces of
marble statuary are placed In the
large hall. These, too, were chosen :
by the educator.
During the summer months sns

ious institutions of higher learning

abroad was another mgn point in
her life. With Miss Monroe, renown
ed Oregon author, she visited the
capitals of Europe, absorbing the
love of good pictures ana tne His

When the school bell rings foi the
last time In June. Miss Cosper will
have a full schedule as usual. She'll
miss the children, the ever-changing
parade of them, and the Garfield
faculty, of course but then, as she
says, there's so much she's not had
lime to do. "Why, there are all tne
books I've been meaning to read
and the people I've wanted to see
but I don't think I'll take up con
tract!"
