NEWS NOTES from Medford High School Edited by James Boyd; Staff: Linda Robertson. Jacque Colton and Ed Albright The public library has been the object of criticism from high school students in the last few weeks. In an interview with Miss Helen Webster, county libra rian, it was pointed out that cer tain rules have been designed especially to help students. Besides reading for pleasure and entertainment, most stu dents use the library as an ex cellent source of reference. The library staff has realized this and has provided a reference librarian on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. These are the three days on which the most number of students use the li brary. Due to the library's pres ent limited budget, only one staff member is on duty other nights of the week. This means that no one would be supervis ing the library if the librarian were requested to secure mate rial from the stacks. Miss Webster pointed out that one way to secure reference ma terial is to phone the library be fore coming. The librarian will then have time to send for the material before you arrive. Of course, all library patrons are asked to follow the almost uni versal library rule, to check their notebooks or brief cases at the door. She pointed out that with the application of a few simple rules both the students and librarian's jobs will be easier. Boyd. Other members attending are Henry Harbert, Tim Hiller man, John Hansen, Ken Arnold, Kaye Christian, Dianna Russell, Dick Corum, Harold O'Conners. Eddie Albright, Sue Gray and Nancy Wilson. The senior play proceeded smoothly through its first two performances Thursday and Fri day nights. The calamities were very few. A door on one of the Sunday- February 17, 1137 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TT1TT1TTWW KJ sets was slammed a little too energetically on Thursday night and the frame threatened to fall. A well-timed curtain averted this tragedy. To thank Mrs. Lenora Zapell. play director, the cast bought her a fountain pen and an or chid. They also compiled a photo album of "Mrs. McThing," to be sent to Robert Stedman who is convalescing in Portland. Due to the late hours rehears ing and presenting the play, many of the cast members ex cused themselves from school in the afternoons before the play to take naps. The cast did find time to enjoy an after-the-play party held at the home of Greg Milnes on Saturday night. The students entered the gym and dropped their tickets, in the heart shaped sophomore, junior, or senior box. The ticket votes were counted and the audience gathered around the throne. The three knights, Dave Rath, Tom Morris, and Gordon Owsley were led to the royal chair. Pep club president Beverly DeBorde an nounced, "The King of Hearts is Gordon Owsley." A mighty cheer rose as the king opened his gigantic box of valentine candy and the knights opened their slightly smaller ones. This was the scene at th tint of Hearts dance held See. the boys' gym. The familiar scent, of paint once again fills the halls of MHS as rooms take on a negj hue. For the past weeks paint ers have been busy painting the classrooms one by one. iVhile .this goes on, the class in the room affected moves to anoth er part of the building. The California Mental Ma turity Test was given to all juniors and students new to Medford High. Thursday morn ing Miss Delie Whisenant con ducted the test from 9:30 to 11. The evaluation report has ar rived and with it comes a 25 page list of commendations and recommendations for Medford High. One of the 54 schools j which have been evaluated in j Oregon, Cliff Robinson, Oregon's j Director of Secondary Educa-I tion, said that Medford's was the "best organized" of the lot. I Two ideas consistently ap peared in the report. Recommen-; dations for audio-visual aids' were apparent in almost all de partments. Second, the remedial program caused favorable com ment but many ideas were given to improve it. The report is not meant to compare MHS with any other school. It is purely ob jective report. Three contestants for the Elks Outstanding Student award have been announced. Bill Frake, John Reeder, and Sue Donna Doolen will compete on a basis of their scholarship, need. school activities, leadership, and resourcefulness. Sixty per cent of the scoring will be deter mined by past grade record. The two winners of the local elimination will receive watches from the local Elks lodge, SS0 each will be given to the two district finalists, and $800 schol arships will be given to the boy and girl who are the most out standing students in Oregon. This is the second award that the Elks have offered to high school seniors. The other award was for leadership while this one is principally for scholar ship. If you happen to hear the phrase "Hail Cambodia, the land we love," floating down the halls of MHS during the next few weeks, don't be alarmed. It is merely one of the students voicing his opinion as he pre pares for the coming state Inter national Relations league con vention at the University of Oregon. The convention will be a model United Nations, the first in the nation on the high school level.
