Crater High School By JUDI DAVIS A representative of the Gen eral Motors corporation present ed a science program at an all school assembly Monday, Sept. 24. After demonstrating all types of unbelievable "tricks of the scientific trade." he warned everyone to hold their ears. He then demonstrated a scale model iet engine. The roar was so tre mendous that it could almost be heard in town. Joe Teeter had his first oppor tunity to conduct a student council meeting last week. All elected representatives and the student body officers met to carry out the first business of the year. The student council is not as yet complete because the Freshmen class has not elected officers or representatives. How ever, the next meeting should see the council in full force. The wide variety of odors drifting through the corridors are as much a part of any high school as the students are. Clar ence Miller's chemistry classes have been experimenting lately, and it has been evident in the halls. Mixed in with the sulphu ric acid smells, are the delicious odors of good food from Mrs Frances Willet's homemaking class across the hall. Several Crater students went to Redmond over the week-end to attend the Crater-Redmond game. No school busses were taken because Redmond is 200 miles away. Through the gener osity of the principal and the teachers, a few students were ex cused to attend in private cars if they were accompanied by an adult. The majority attending stayed over night and returned the following day.
