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.

quests from people throughout
the valley. The request box is

Medford. The program is spon
sored by Ashland Dairy Queen,
the Ashland Skateway Jack's

ford, and will run all year.
The cast for the musical,
"Carousel", has been chosen by
Lynn Sjolund and Mrs. Lenore
Zapell. Lead parts will be play
ed by John Frohnmayer as Billy
Bieglow, Sue Barker as Carrie
Pepperridge, Linda Smith as
Nettie Fowler, Bob Gee as Enoch
Snow, Ted Lawson as Jigger
Craiger, Rosemary Doolen as
Julia Jordan, Dee Clark as Mrs.
Mullen, and Pam Cooksey as
Louise.
It wasn't really Christmas in
October this week, the bells
were signaling the members and
Medford High students heard
officers of different clubs and
classes to. report to the audi
torium or the front steps for
pictures. Pictures were taken of
all sophomores and juniors in

Joyous anticipation turned to
disappointment for some stud
ents this week when it develop
ed that the bus fare to Marsh
field had increased from $4.50
round trip to S6.35. So many
students signed up for the mass
trip to the game that the Grey
hound company had to .bring
in extra busses from Portland
and hence the extra charge. Even
so, only two unhappy bus loads
of the scheduled five remained
behind.
