Buying Helicopter
Yreka Siskiyou county su
pervisors are exploring the pos
sibility of acquiring a surplus
helicopter, it has been announc
ed. Helicopters are available from
government agencies for about
5100, according to reports. A
surplus helicopter was purchas
ed recently by Trinity county,
Calif., for use in rescue and
search work.
. Use of a helicopter as an am
bulance was demonstrated - re
cently when Bob Trimble of Et
na landed his craft in front of
Siskiyou General hospital to de
liver an injured man.
Hospital offiicals have said
such an emergency landing

high cost of a pilot.

grades during
the semester. If the grades had
been high enough, the student
was declared "exempt" from the

all tests and had not only Friday

Princesses for the sophomore
March of Dimes dance have
been chosen. Irma Penwell is the
senior class candidate, Carolee
Brantley was the juniors'
choice, the sophomore princess
is Sylvia Yell, and the, freshman
chose Connie McDonough. The
four classes will be hard at work
for two weeks selling tickets for
their candidates, and the class
which sells the most tickets will
make their princess Miss March

This year the March of Dimes
has aroused more interest than
ever before. Even during the
busy examination week, all stu
dents were engaged in projects
to raise money for the worthy
cause. Monday each class presi
dent called a meeting of the
class, and different "plans were
discussed for the TAP drive. Be
cause of the rivalry between
classes for the most money,
many of the plans are unknown
by anyone outside of the partic
ular class. Not only classes, but
school organizations are work
ing to their utmost to make this
the most successful year in the
fight against polio. Crater High
school, in the county competi
tion, is determined to beat Med
ford High, even if Crater has to
"sell their tractors" to do it.

A locker clean-up was ordered
by the office last Tuesday. Each
class was called to their lockers,
and the fight was on. Papers and
trash soon filled the waste bas

ed to discover items they had
long ago declared lost forever
The library staff breathed a sigh
of relief as books were returned
by the dozens. The rows of tidy
lockers are a welcome sight to

The committee in charge of
the Mothers Day Tea held a
meeting last Monday to begin
work on the event. The tea is an
annual spring event, sponsored
by the Girls league. Several
hundred mothers attend the
tea, and it involves much work
and planning to insure a suc
cessful occasion. Chairman for
the Mothers Day Tea is Sally
Elden.
The Girls Athletic association
is sponsoring a swimming party
at the YMCA next Wednesday.
Because of limited facilities,
only 40 girls will be able to at

was made during Wednesday's
meeting, girls rushed to be
among the first 40 signed up
At the same meeting, plans were-
discussed for the formation of a
girls bowling league.
An all school skating party
was held by the Girls league last
Monday. The skating parties are
held at the Rollerdrome in
Grants Pass. The league rents
the rink for the evening, and
any profit made after the rental
fee has been paid goes into the

Twenty - three students from
beginning and advanced speech
classes will participate in the
Southern Oregon college speech
tournament, Jan. 25 and 26. The
purpose of the tournament is to
provide experience to speech
students. Because the tourna
ment is not competitive, there
will be no winners. Instead, cer
tificates of merit will rate each
participant on his work.
Class competition is the most
effective method of receiving
student cooperation and partici
pation. This method will be put
into practice tomorrow, when
the freshmen will take part in a
lawn cleanup. Each class will
periodically contribute to the
beautification of the campus.
