Monday, Mar 13. 1937 MEDTORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE 1 NEWS NOTES from Crater High School "Underwater" was the theme of the annual Junior-Senior Prom held last night in the Crater High gymnasium. A false ceiling of of parachute silk overhung the mythical R0.fl underwater scene. Multi colored lights r reflected 5 Ifr through the Pit Medley lilk top. A large octups and a meremaid perched on a rock were in the center of the room. An old dc sereted ship hull was the band stand. Refreshments of seafood cheese dip, sandwiches, cake and punch were served at the "Coral Inn," which was decorated like a large cave in a coral reef. The entrance was made like a whale's mouth. Queen Befty Jo McCann and her royal court of Karen Johnson, Kay Burd and Gayle Childress, were crowned on a throne fash ioned after a large pink osyter shell with a pearl in the center. Music was furnished by the Ceasar Muzzioli orchestra. Gen eral co-chairmen for the event were Val McCashen and Don Jones. Warren Holbrook, art in structor, was the prom advisor. The Junior-Senior banquet, for students not wishing to attend the prom, was held in the Pione er Room of the Jackson hotel on the same night as the prom. A steak dinner was served and a variety show furnished the en tertainment. A ventriloquist and several comediannes from Port land were the main entertainers in the show. The banquet was sponsored by a group of valley churches who wished to provide a night of recreation for their high school members who did not attend the prom.

I don't know whether I could be happy with him. e e e Mrs. B. B. I am a widow -with one daughter, a beautiful girl of 19. She has had many dates and suitors but none par ticularly desirable. Recently, a very wealthy man in his late 30s has fallen in love with her. He is exceptionally handsome, has a wonderful per sonality, . is liked and admired by everyone. He can ' give her anything in the world her heart desires. As a matter of fact, he told me his plans for both her and me and they are really fabulous. Juliette reacts to all of this with complete indifference. It's not that she doesn't want lux uries and fine things, or even that she doesn't like thn man. She enjoys his company and the gifts he gives her, but then she comes home and says she just doesn t know what she wants to , do. I can't convince' her that a poor girl doesn't run into this kind of luck every, day of the week and she'd be crazy to let a chance like this go. e e Juliette B Mother says I've got to hurry up and make up my mind, but I can't seem to decide one way or the other. Sometimes I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up to find .that the whole thing has been decided one way or the other. I like this man. I certainly can't say I hate him and I would certainly like to be rich. Mother and I have had a very tough struggle. It's not that I'm a ro mantic, starry-eyed kid, either. I agree with Mother you can love a rich man just as well as a poor one. The money is quite a temptation to me, but I know that you can't be happy on money alone and I just don't know whether or not I could be happy with this man. When we go out he takes me to wonderful places that I wouldn't otherwise see. I feel like a princess in a dream. It's all so unreal and I'm not sure I like it. e e The Council: Juliette's hesita tion in the face of all the pres sure her mother and suitor are putting on her is mature and courageous. She is unable to de fine the difficulty for herself, but it would appear from her statement that the man involved is using his money as a substi tute for establishing a personal, human relationship with her. This is why Juliette, finds the whole thing "unreaL" There is a vast difference between her age and that of her suitor. There is also a vast difference in their present situations and probably in their backgrounds. Such dif ferences can sometimes be sur mounted, but it takes a good deal of understanding and ef fort on both sides. From both statements, it ap pears that there is not even the beginning of a personal under standing here. The man has con Girl of the Month for May at a Girls League meeting last Thurs day. Kay is the student treasurer and a participant of music ac tivities at school. At the same meeting, after the presentation of the last Girl of the Month, ballots were given out for voting of the Girl of the Year. The Girl of the Year will be presented at the awards assembly, which will be held soon. Girls League elections were held last week to determine the candidates for office next year. Phyllis Taylor and Carol von der Hellen are the candidates for president. Vice presidential nom inees are Kay Askwith and Gail Collins. Avella Prom and Marg aret Taylor will be running for Girls League secretary and the condidates for treasurer are Jean Bonney and Julia Thomason. Publicity'' chairman candidates are freshman Patty Kime and Jeanette Purdy. The candidates will give campaign speeches to morrow and the final election will be held Tuesday. Last week this column stated that Mrs. Carol Ash and C. A. Meyer were responsible for the recent FTA Observation Day. This was an error and should be corrected. H. P. Jewett, super intendent of school district 6C, was responsible for the observa tion day and organized it. George Johns, principal of Jewett elem entary school, whose name was omitted cooperated with FTA as well as C. A. Meyer, principal of the grade school and junior high, and Arthur Strauss, prin cipal of Crater High. The Crater Curtain Callers, drama club, held elections last week for the best actor and ac tress of the year. The winners will be announced at the awards assembly and will receive their "Jeromes", which is Crater High's answer to Hollywood's Oscar. Council vinced Mrs. B. B. that he is a "good catch." He has virtually asked her to sell her daughter and convinced her it would be an excellent deal. He hasn't at tempted to woo or win Juli ette's feelings. Either he hasn't enough personal integrity to think he can stand on his own merits, or he hasn't enough re spect for Juliette to feel it is important to win her heart as well as her hand. Juliette is not ''crazy" or even overly romantic and starry-eyed to look for total involvement of her - mind and feelings before she commits herself to anyone. Marriage on the. present basis would certainly be a mistake. (Copyright 1957,. Gnral Features Corp.) Stale Senate Passes Highway Attorney Bill Salem' (U.R) The Oregon Senate Saturday passed Senate bill 423 to authorize the State Highway commission to appoint its own attorney and assistant attorney. Attorneys for the commission now are designated by the attor ney general. . The Senate also passed Sen ate bill 21, tightening provisions of the public employes' retire ment system. But it defeated, 16-14, Senate bill 384 which would have en abled counties, particularly Mul nomah county, to regulate by license businesses just outside of cities. The Senate worked until noon on its heavy calendar of 31 bills, then recessed its first Saturday session until 2 p.m. when it hoped to continue until its cal endar was cleaned up.
