June 3. 1952 Biggest Graduating Class in History Of SOC Honored Ashland The greatest num ber of four-year degrees ever conferred at Southern Oregon college were awarded to 118 seniors Sunday aiternoon. The traditional ceremony was held in colorful Lithia park and at tended by approximately 1,000 friends of the college. Degrees of bachelor of science In elementary education were awarded to 76 of the 118, as con gratulations were extended by Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, college president. Marshall E. Woodell, dean of men, presented the cer tificates. Twenty-eight of the 83 cand idates for three-year certificates attended the ceremony and four of the nine candidates for two year Junior certificates were in troduced. Four Honored Four of the four-year students were recognized for achieve ment of a 3.5 grade point aver age during their college course. Honor students were Ida J. Bow man, Dennis F.ay Hassell and C. Wesley Lewis, Ashland, and Nancy Jeanette Hunter, Central Point. Dr. Cornelius H. Siemens, president of Humboldt State col lege, charged graduates In a commencement address to assert individual freedom of thinking. He called such freedom ot mind "democracy's greatest chal lenge," noting that leadership is vested in ideas and not in men. Dr. Siemens said today's gra duate faces the danger of de personification unless such free dom is developed. He pointed to trends in totalitarian countries where independent thinking is stifled. Graduates were urged to resist tendencies to become au tomatons and to appreciate the integration of knowledge taught during four years ot studies. Graduates Warned In a baccalaureate address, the Rev. Paul W, Harms of Grace Lutheran church, Ash land, warned graduates not to become self-centered, but to rec ognize in the example of Jesus Christ the need for dedication to mankind as a whole. He said that the recipients of degrees were going into life occupying one of the most influential pos itions in the modern world as teachers. Greetings of the State Board of Higher Education were ex tended by Frank J. Van Dyke, Medord, who welcomed grad uates into the Oregon commun ity. Band music was directed by Glenn T. Matthews and the col lege choir appeared under the leadership of Oscar C. Bjorlie, both assistant professors of mu sic. Miss Edna Dougherty pre sented organ music as degrees were conferred. Earlier, the Southern Oregon College Alumni association el ected Arthur Phillips, Ashland, as president to succeed Robert Baccus, Ashland.

Letter No. 3 Dear Fred and Ed: It's been a busy sprli, ior us girls, fellas. teacher education program ask ing for an experimental school, seven years of teacher training and recognition of teacher train ing as one of the leading profes sions. Dr. Stevenson reviewed campus progress and asked grad uates to do all possible to up hold the standing of Southern Oregon. We've been crying quite a bit lately for one thing, on account of Johnnie Ray, the sobbing singer who's hit the feminine heartstrings harder than any thing since Frank Sinatra. Then there have been the pan ty raids. Some of the college girls discouraged the college boys raiding their dormitories by throwing water and wielding dust mops, and others cheered. But either way, it cut into let ter writing time. The girls who are graduating have Jobs to worry about. The Government just revealed that more wives are working now than during World War II, so a girl figures she might as well hunt for a Job she'll enjoy keep ing for a few years. Budget Problem Trying to balance the budget is adding a few premature grey hairs to the working girl's heads. We're adding a few more on our own, from plastic bottles that spray silver or gold streaks on forelocks. Streaks "are newer than poodle cuts, and they can be washed out. Bathing suits always take up quite a bit of time around now, what with trying to decide whether you can fit into last year's suit and still attract at tention from any of this year's life guards. I don't like to sound discouraging, but the Bikini suit definitely Is old fashioned now. The girls seem to be con tented to cover more. Men Not Asked I guess nobody asked the men what they preferred, which won't surprise you. Girls are still dressing to follow the fash ion and not their boy friends' advice. You would see a lot of strap less dresses, both before and af ter dark, if you were around this summer. And ruffled petti coats. Maybe for pinup purposes1 Asking for the Lowdown you fellows would like to see a girl wear something slinkier, but those petticoats mrk a girl look mighty pretty at a party. Something must be making girls more appealing these days. The Census Bureau says we're getting married younger than ever. The average age for brides now is just past 20. Ten years ago it was 21 and 60 years ago it was 22. Should Be Good Sign This should be a good sign for you two, since there must be plenty of 19-year-olds who haven't located anything likely on the home front and would like to line up something eligi ble before they're too often bridesmaids. You don't need to worry about coming home to any drastic changes like a woman president. None of the girls has so much as hinted that she'd like to get in the presidential race this fall. And Marilyn Monroe gets her picture In the papers more than any of the lady politicians. Hope you two get home soon to see all this for yourselves. Sincerely, Elizabeth Toomey. Alan's Missing Wallet Found in Bale of Hay Woodland, Calif. (U.R) Har old Braden will agree with you that $72 "ain't hay." Two years ago Braden lost his wallet containing $72 while working in a hayfield near here. After a long search for the miss ing purse, Braden gave it up as lost. John Duncan, of Sebastopol, Calif., some 30 miles away, re turned the wallet, after finding it in a bale of hay. The money was in the wallet when it was returned. SHOP at Hubbard Bros.

Presbyterians Oppose Sending Envoy to Vatjcan Albany (U.R) The General Assembly of the United Presby terian church was on record Tuesday as emphatically oppos ed to sending an envoy to the Vatican. The nationwide organization, in its fifth day of business Mon day, adopted a resolution say ing the group was "unequivoc ably and unalterably opposed to any type of representation at the Vatican, whether in the sta tus of an ambassador or person al representative of the presi dent." Contrary to Ideology The contention of the recom mendation, sent to federal of ficials in Washington, D. C, was that an official representtaive at the Vatican would be tanta mount to recognition of the af filiation of the church and state, which the group said was con trary to American Ideology. The Presbyterians also learn ed that members contributed to their church during the last fis cal year $9,034,836, an average of $41.60 per member and $4.68 per each actual contributor.
