Crater High School
By JUDI DAVIS
This was an important week
for seniors. Starting Monday and
continuing through Wednesday,
Lloyd Bissell from Kennall-El-lis
studios in Eugene was at Cra
ter to take senior pictures.
There were some senior Eng
lish class interruptions, but the
students attended most of their
classes. At all times of the day,
seniors could be seen anxiously
awaiting their turn for the pic
tures to be taken in the cafete
ria.
The senior girls voted for
something a little different this
year. A process known as"drap
ing" was used instead of the us
ual sweaters. The "drape" was
a piece of black velveteen ma
terial with a cowl neckline. TheJ
senior boys chose to wear a suit
coat, light shirt, and necktie.
For the second time in a sin
gle year, Crater has had a school
bond election. In February, the
bond issue was defeated to the
dismay of the school, but the
recent one passed. Thursday's
election proved to be an over
whelming approval. The $160,
000 authorized will be used to
build eight new classrooms in a
new wing.
Every Crater student and 1957
graduate have been anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the 1957
Constellation. The annual was

When the band and Comettes,
Crater's Pep club, went to the
Medford High field Thursday
night to practice for the half
time activities at the game, ev
eryone was amazed to see a very
young majorette leading the
band. Whispers traveled through
the crowd of students gathered
for the rehearsal. "Who is she?,"
"Does she belong to Crater?" As
it turned out, she is five-year-old

Shouts of joy, which are un

be heard all of last week. The

turned out, was the scoring of
