west so much she returned in
the fall to attend the regular
session of school.
The student described the
boarding school a "melting
pot" as the 150 students there
include Spaniards, Mexicans,
Indians, and several students
from Peru, Thailand, and
Mexico, besides many of the
states of the U.S.
Although her plans are not
definite for this fall, she said
that she expects to return to
Medford High school for her
senior year. Classes at the
church supported school dif
fer very little from public
schools, she explained. Her
schedule includes classes in
home economics, chemistry,
American history, English,
and two classes a week each
of physical education and
Bible. The latter is a required
course.
Class periods are about 55
minutes each, she added and
said that each student is also
required to work five hours
each week for the school. This
includes a variety of duties,
she explained, such as wait
ing on tables at meals, which
are served family style. These
duties change, she added, so
the students enjoy them.
Attendance at meals, as
well as all classes, is required
she reported but they are al
lowed one cut a week from
breakfast.
Miss Rowan said that the
students live in dormitories,
majority of them two to a
room. The campus has seven
buildings, one of which is the
dining haii where both boys
and girls eat. She added that
there are more boys than girls
attending the school.
Church Services
The junior, a member of
First Presbyterian church,
Medford, said that buses take
the students to church serv
ices Sunday mornings.
"We have a choice of any
of the four Presbyterian
churches in Albuquerque,"
she said, "and can change
each month if we wish. Sun
day school is held during the
afternoon on campus," she
added.
Asked about restrictions at
the school, Miss Rowan said
that tbe students are required
to remain on campus during
the week until after classes.
Following classes and until I
the evening meal they may
leave the area and all day
Saturdays. During the week
days we have study hall in
the evenings and planned
recreation she explained, with
one free evening a month.
She said that the school
had a demerit system with
demerits given for being late
to meals or classes, cutting
classes, or similar violations.
She explained that students
were not allowed to have cars
on campus.
Although the junior stated
that she had not been able to
do too much sight-seeing dur
ing the school year, she had
managed to travel through
the area this summer during
the youth work camp. She
hopes to spend the few days
of spring vacation in April
with a friend in Santa Fe, 62
miles northeast of Albuquer
que. She also plans to travel
more in the area before she
returns to Oregon in the
spring.
Miss Rowan said that after
she submitted her application
for the schcool last summer
she was surprised that he was
accepted immediately. The
tutition is $150 per semester,
sne explained, but the ma
jority of the students work at
the school to finance their
schooling.
