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

My friend and I both wishing

conclusion that the only way is
to advertise In the paper. We
are both G. I.'s in Korea and
both for some reason receive

We would appreciate It if you

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.

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.
