Scout Day Camp
To Open Monday;
Last Plans Made
Final plans for Girl scout day
camp, which opens Monday at
the camp site off Barnett road,
have been made and hundreds of
girls are expected to attend.
Rules for the camp were estab
lished at a meeting of the day
camp committee held Thursday
at the camp site, with counsel
lors and aides also attending.
Objectives of the camp are to
provide recreation of a whole
some, constructive nature and to
teach cooperation. The primary
theme is emphasis on outdoor
living, and the secondary theme
is international friendship. Each
counselor has chosen one foreign
country as a basis for training in
her unit. Units have been set up
for girls who will be in the third
through the seventh grades. .Mrs.
A. E. Stout, district day camp
chairman, emphasizes especially
that the day camp is for all
girls, Scouts and non-scouts, and
that camp will last for the full
10 days as originally planned,
June 12 through June 23.
Any girls attending Bible
school will be welcome at the
day camp at noon, and will be
given full credit for attendance
at camp. Girls who wish to at
tend and have not yet registered,
may do so at the camp center.
As a part of their outdoor
cooking training, campers will
plan their own menu the day
before, and will bring the food
necessary for that menu, pre
paring and cooking it them
selves. Highlight of Thursday's meet
ing was a demonstration of out
door cooking methods by Mrs.
Rollin Jones, area camp direc
tor. Attending the meeting were
Mrs. Gilbert Gross, Mrs. G. N.
Greenwood, Mrs. Charles Smith,
Mrs. R. E. Barnum, Mrs. Roy
White, Mrs. C. M. Friend, coun
sellors; Mrs. William Fontaine,

Boyle, will be first-aider for the
second week; Mrs. Rollin Jones,
area camp director, Mrs. W. R.
Peabody, district camp director,
Mrs. H. B. Cook, field director,
and Mrs. A. E. Stout, camp
chairman.
Counsellors will be assisted by
camp aides, girls in the ninth
grade or above who have had
special training in outdoor
crafts. Aides present were the
Misses Janet Coyle, DeLores
Smyle. Holly Black. Nancy Mc

Rodeo, Lions Convention
Bring Many Valley Visitors
Business men in riding boots and Stetsons, clerks garbed in
gaudy shirts and scarves, windows full of levis, saddles and hay
all point to one event this week-end, the annual rodeo of the Jack
son County Sheriff's Mounted posse which opened yesterday and
continues todav.
! One of the bright spots of the
rodeo week-end was the square
dance party at the armory last
night, and this afternoon the
program at the fairgrounds in
cludes drills by several mounted
troops, as well as the usual
"bronc busting."
All of the city's visitors this
week-end won't be rodeo-bound,
however, for several hundred are
expected for the annual state
convention of the Lions and La
dv Lions, which begins this aft
ernoon and continues for two
days.
Graduations aren't all caps and
gowns, diplomas, solemn ad
monitions to youth and slow
marches. There's also the pres
ents, flowers for the girls, a few
tears at the thought of losing old
friends and smiles, too.
Thursday's graduation was the
first ever held outdoors in Med
ford and doubtless also the first
celebrated with roman candles.
After the more than 200 students
had marched in and taken their
nlaces on the SDeciallv construct
ed platform in the stadium, the
preliminaries were over ana ine
speaker had said his first few
words there was a loud swish, a
boom and a shower of colored
lights. However, the pranksters'
aim was poor and the candles
fell short of the special stage.
The lights were scarcely gone
from the sky when the audience
saw two or three of the men fac
ulty members sprinting across
the field in the direction of the
firing.
Later the smiles really broke
out on the faces of the audience.
As the graduates retired from
the field to the slow strains of
the perennial "Pomp and Cir
cumstance, ' and only a few re
mained in sight, the measured
steps of the boys gradually
Quickened until they were do-
j ing double time and finally the
last lew jum simpiy ijii.
Graduation would certainly be
a dreary affair without the
marches and other music, but the
band members who played
Thursday night must surely now
have "Pomp" well memorized.
It took almost nine minutes of
steady playing before the last
graduate was on the stage. Di
rector I. A. Mirick varied the re
cessional by turning to "Auld
Lang Syne" as the blue-clad fig
ures left the field.
Among the seniors were many
who were making their last high
school appearances as instru
mentalists or vocalists. In addi
tion to those who play in the
band. 12 joined their voices in
singing the familiar "Deep Riv
er." These were Jane Durno,
Maxine Myers. Donna Mack, Eu
nice McKittrick, Florence Lyons,
Virginia Richmond, Bob Semon,
Jim Bryant, Jim Baker. Jim
Grimm, Roger McUne and War
ren Wendt.
Dr. G. Herbert Smith hasn't
forgotten his days as a graduate
seated on the stage during com
mencement, for his talk, while
full of good advice, was light
ened with a number of witty
stories. He remarked that the
term "education" meant many
things to many people and told
of the English schoolmaster who
once said that education was the
process of casting synthetic
pearls before real swine.
Dr. Smith praised the Medford
school system and said that an
examination of the records of
Medford students who have at
tended Willamette university
showed that none had "ever been
in trouble" scholastically. He had
stressed the importance of being
able to read, write and under
stand the English language prop
erly and said that not all high
school graduates were as accom
plished with their native lan
guage as they should be. When
he casually mentionad "remedi
al" courses for Willamette fresh
men were often found necessary,
a stir swept through the class
and one could practically hear
the resigned groans.
It's almost a certainty that
when diplomas are being handed
out a lot of people uneasily won
der If they are going to come out
even with the graduates, or will
the last poor student be left
without one. When Principal Les
ter Harris and his assistant. Miss
Josephine Kirtley. were holding
a "post-mortem" Thursday night
someone asked if that question
didn't bother the school officials.
"What do you think I've been
doing all day?" inquired Miss
Kirtley. "I've been counting di
plomas." Last Sunday the class heard
the Rev. Holly Roy Jarvis de
liver the baccalaureate address,
sneaking on the importance of
the Bible. The minister, who
opened his talk by saying that
sometimes he wondered if the
speeches made to gradrtes were
ever heeded, told the young peo
ple they should know the Bible
and said. "The Bible remains
the charter of civilization." He
reminded them that the Bible is
still the world's best selling book
and said it has been translated
into 1.100 languages and dialects.

June 19th
ers and fans are rejoicing over
the news that Dr. Margery Bai
ley of Stanford university has
made arrangements to come to
Medford in July for a brief lec
ture series. Those working on
this project plan to kill the pro
verbial two birds with one stone
not only will they provide val
ley people with the opportunity
to hear first-rate lectures on
Shakespeare by a noted author
ity, but they will at the same
time raise money for scholarship
funds for student actors who par
ticipate in the festival.
The committee has gone a bit
further, too, and is making plans
for a really plush party at some
country home in connection with
the lecture series. Probably the
series will be Friday, Sunday
and Monday, with the Sunday
lecture given In connection with
the party.
Dr. Bailey could not come to
Medford for any lengthy period,
for not only is she teaching at
Stanford for the summer, but
will be in the cast of a produc
tion of Euripedes "Trojan Wom
en." Dr. Bailey's performance as
the nurse in "Romeo and Juliet"
last summer was one of the hits
of the festival and her lectures
at the Southern Oregon college
brought raves from students and
townspeople alike. If the dis
tinguished university professor
were not so brilliant and so
charming, one might venture to
call her "a character." At any
rate she is an outstanding author
ity on the famous man and his
piays and she makes her lectures
exciting.
