1 1 BIX MEDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Potpourri... After much anguish because of a storm which forced a last minute change in commence ment plans for Medford Senior High school, the 1952 class was graduated Thursday night on schedule. The crowded auditor ium, with people turned away from a ceremony which they were eager to witness, demon strated again the need for a large auditorium in this city. When Superintendent E. H. Hedrick introduced Dr. Victor P. Morris University of Oregon dean who spoke, he reminded his audience that Dr. Morris had been speaker for the first com mencement ever held in the building, then new, in 1932, and that he "brought one of the worst electrical storms of the seasons." Dr. Morris joined good-naturedly in the laughter, and when he rose to speak, said the storm had reminded him of the poem which begins, "What is so rare as a day in June" and con tinues, "Then If ever come per fect days." Fvnl for the lack of space, ' the changes brought about only a few minor discomforts, rno tographers, always the busiest ..Ania fit rnmmencement in Medford, were at a bad disad vantage because of the crowdea conditions and the improvised maatina fnr ih class members. and could be seen flitting from spot to spot behind stage trying to find a vantage point for a shot. Once the curtain parted and an arm, holding a flash bulb, was outstretched for several sec onds while the cameraman ar ranged himself on a chair in an other opening in the curtains in an effort to focus on the grad uates. , An Innovation this year was the naming of two valedictor ians, and no salutatorian, it hav ing been found that Janet Coyle and Roy Rogers had identical grade point averages. The two students, who were informed of the honor Just before marching Into the auditorium, sought one another out and solemnly shook . hands and extended each other congratulations. Young Rogers, who has been a class and school leader as well as fine student, opened the pro gram which bore hli name in no less than seven different places in order to chronicle the awards and scholarships he had won. Both Janet and Roy plan to attend Oregon State college next fall. Tn 1-iava Dr. Morris give the commencement address was something special for Roy and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Rogers. The Rogers nave Known Dr. Morris since the days he was mlnl.tor fnr a Christian church In Monmouth, Ore., and he has delivered commencement ad rirnuM fnr three different mem bers of the family. Dr. Morris spoke for commencement when Mr. Rogers was graduated from high school in Monmouth, and fnr hnth Mr. Rosers' children. Earlene, now Mrs. Charles Fer- rell, University of Oregon stu dent who was graduated from high school here in 1949, and for Roy s class Thursday. Rnth Mr. and Mrs. Roffers also attended classes under Mrs. Mor ris, and have known the Mor rises through their work In the Christian church, to which the Rogers also belong. Roy goes to work Monday for thp Palifnrnia-Oreffon Power company and when Mrs. Rogers heard that he would work wnn a crew of men which has meals nnnlif.H hv the firm, explained "Copco is going to be the loser on that. They don t realize how mitrh the-iut tall, thin hioh school boys can eat!" Roy was the tall est man in his class Thursday, and was the last In line when the class marched down the aisle. Dr. Morris Is not only a popu- lar speaker for graduation and other occasions, but is one of the university's best liked facul ty members. Mrs. Paul R. Smith, former university student who attended graduation here Thurs day night and greeted Dr. Mor ris, remarked afterward on his popularity as rn instructor and said "It wouldn't matter either what his courses were In; If he gave a course in ditch digging it would be filled." e One of the most Interesting parts of the commencement each year is the announcement of awards and scholarships. The scholarship Idea has grown with the years in this city, as it has In others of the nation, and now many deserving students have the expense of higher education partly or entirely met by schol arships given by various indi viduals, firms and organizations. An example of the growth of local scholarships is that given annually by Medford Music so ciety for a boy or girl who ex pects to study music in college. The society first voted in No vember, 1938, to given an award of $5 to the most outstanding pupil in music in the senior class, with the award to be made at graduation. The award was made an an nual procedure in 1940, and it was given that year to Dorothy Wilder. By 1944 the award had been increased to $25, and In 1945 to $50. In 1949 the society voted tc give a scholarship of $75 to the outstanding music student continuing his or her musical education in an accred ited college, with music as a major subject. The year 1950 saw the scholarship raised to $100, and members of the society work constantly to have it in creased. The winners through the years have been Dorothy Wilder, Rob ert Brewer, June Williams (Fran cis), Roger Wolf, Phyllis Furry, Vera Smith, Robert Pearson, Herb Brower, Joyce Montgom ery and Keith Mirick. The 1952 winner is Maureen Rice, who has played violin and viola in the Junior and senior high school each year beginning with the seventh grade. Miss Rice, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Rice, and a pupil of Richard D. Wern er, has been concert-mistress of the senior high school orchestra for the past two years and has been first violinist with the high school string quartet. In addi tion, she is an honor roll stu dent. Of the recent winners, Roger Wolf went on to become an out standing music student at Col lege of the Pacific and is now pianist with Jan Garber, nation ally known band leader. Young Brower and Keith Mirick are both studying at Willamette uni versity, where both have been unsually active. Herb was named one of the "Senior Scholars" from the music department this year. Of Interest Is the fact that Janet Grieve Millbank, saluta torian of the 1952 graduating class of Prospect High school, was the first child of a Prospect High School graduate to receive a diploma from the same school. Her father, J. H. Grieve, school board chairman, awarded the diplomas to his daughter's class. The graduation, held May 23, was the 28th annual commence ment of the school. News in the art world: A United Press dispatch from Portland stated that 27 Italian Renaissance paintings, valued at $2,500,000 arrived there Sat urday as a gift of the S. H. Kress foundation to the Portland mu seum. According to the UP release, the world famous art work was unloaded from a refrigerated ex press car which also carried 23 paintings and two sculptures to be presented by the foundation to the Stattle art museum. The gifts from the Kress collection are In honor of the late "five and 10-cent" store operator who amassed a valuable art empire before his death.

(U.R) Future generals have appetites that would wreck the average fam ily's food budget. It costs Uncle Sam only $1.35 per day to feed each of the 2,400 cadets at the 150-year-old U. S. Military Academy. That covers the cost of the favorite" food, steak. The cadets were having stuffed pork tenderloin instead of steak the day reporters were invited to tour the kitchen and mess hall of the academy, in the Hudson valley north of New York. Chief Steward Matthew Gow ens, however, said that, steak is "standard fare" on the menu. With beef costing around $1 a pound, the reporters wanted to know how the Army meal plan ners kept within the budget. Planning helps "Mass buying and smart plan ning help," said Gowens, who has been at The Point 14 years. "Be sides, what we'll lose on some meals we'll make up for on oth ers." Lt. Col. Henry Boswell Jr., food service supervisor, explain ed that most of the time "cadets are ravenous." Other times, their appetites slump and the meal planners have learned to cook less. "They're tense during final ex ams," he said. "They eat less be fore the Army-Navy game, dur ing plebe indoctrination week, or at graduation." "Some of them aren't showing much appetite now," he said, good-naturedly, "You know how it is, spring's here and their mind is way off somewhere. Maybe they're thinking of the girl back home."

All persons interested in rock col lecting are invited. cadets is enough to put pounds on less active persons. It ranges from 3,800 to 5,200. Appetites Big "I've seen cadets run seconds on every dish in the mess hall," Col. Boswell said, "and then take off to the soda fountain for ham burger and ice cream." It takes 40,000 pounds of po tatoes, 80,000 'pounds of meat, mostly beef, 71,000 quarts of milk, 8,000 dozen eggs, and 18, 000 pounds of sugar per month, to sate the young appetites. The cooking is done in giant kitchens as spotless as the one in your home.

Three gas burning ovens in the bakery sec tion turn out 1,000 loaves of bread and 250 pies daily. . Steak is the favorite meat and Ice cream the leading sweet but the cadets also have active dis likes. "Fish and broccoli," said Col. Boswell. "The cadets have about as much use for them as they do for the Navy."

Perhaps you aren't getting the most for you shopping dollars. A new book on clothing buy ing, called "Better Clothes for Your Money," points out that many women shop without a plan and as a result waste time, effort and money. The book, written by Mary Evans, profes sor of home economics at Teach ers college, Columbia university, for 35 years, discusses the pur chase of everything from belts to union suits. Miss Evans said that In general women should remember that dark dresses with non-detachable white collars, or skirts with many pleats mean higher dry cleaning and pressing bills. Check the label of every fabric to deter mine whether it is washable or must be dry-cleaned. It Pays lo Walch The smart shopper also watch DIAL 2-9169 FOR OUR FUR SERVICE!
