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. O S

World Citizenship
Project Completed
By Extension Units
In addition to their projects
concerning food, clothing, nutri
tion, home management and
home furnishing, extension units
of the county this past year co
operated on a project concern
ing world citizenship. Fifteen of
the county's 23 units participat
ed in the project.
At part of the world citizen
ship program, the women col
lected "pennies for friendship
and corresponded with "letter
friends," 41 women having re
ported that they wrote at least
one letter to a foreign friend.
Exchange programs were car
ried on with women in France
and Denmark. Ten women sub
scribed to the publication, "The
Country Woman."
Eighty-eight "friendship par
cels" were mailed by women of
the units. These included CARE
packages, papers, coffee sent to
Australia, stationery, clothing,
food and Christmas gifts.
Several units celebrated an
international day" and one unit
had a program on Japan, with
an interview with a Japanese
girl. In addition, units discussed
world citizenship questions,
read friendship letters at unit
meetings and displayed gifts re
ceived from abroad. Radio talks
were in connection with the pro
gram, and international visitors
were welcomed.
Eight units have made United
Nations flags, presenting them
to schools and civic clubs and
United Nations day was observ
ed by some units.
Local citizenship projects in
cluded preparation of a room by
one unit for a community cen
ter and sponsorship of 4H schol
arships by several units. Some
members furnished homes and
work for displaced persons, and
some furnished homes for visit
ing exchange students.

Steward At West Point
Says Cadet Appetites Big
West Point, N.Y. (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."

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. The cooking staff of
civil service employees use 20
gas-operated roasting ovens, 12
ranges, and numerous broilers
and deep-fat fryers. 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."

Shopping Plan Useful
Home Economist Declares
New York (U.R) If hubby com
plains about your clothing bill,
better take stock. 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.
