During October, traditional enrollment month for the parent-teacher associations of Jackson county, leaders of the movement are stressing the
"circles of cooperation" through which PTA carries forward its many-fold action program. Recreation is one of the "circles" and in this county
PTA units and members support youth centers, such as the Medford YMCA. Representative of the young people who gather at the Medford Y
ofter school every day for a variety of games, club meetings and other activities, are Jerry Selleck (at left) and Craig Robison shown at one
of the ping pong tables in the downstairs room. The PTA works "to make sure that the community provides its citizens especially its youth,
with abundant opportunities for cultural advancement and wholesome recreation."

One of PTA's main circles of cooperation is with teachers, officials and administrators of the public schools. Ted
McLean, (at right) president of Lincoln Parent-Teacher association, and Leonard Mayfield, superintendent of the
Medford public school system, discuss the ever-increasing school population of the city. The Medford school
board has called an election for Tuesday, November 5, on a $1,786,000 bond issue to finance a two:year building
program. Superintendent Mayfield points out that a survey and study of the system's need shows that increased
enrollment at both the senior and junior high school level results in over-crowding in all three schools.
