Every year the MSH faculty play a non-varsity senior bas ketball team in a TAP basket ball game. The proceeds of this game go into the senior class Teens Against Polio fund. This years game, play ed Jan. 13, boasts the score 33 to 22 in favor of the fac ulty. The faculty scoring star was Tom Marier, with Dean Benson and Frank Roelandt close behind. The faculty rally squad played a great part in winning the game. Janice Crip, Ruth Hocker snyth, Lynn Sjolund, and Warren Wolf composed this spirited group. Much could be accomplish ed in the 782 hours of makeup time which was still charged to 363 Medford High sut dents late in the last semester. According to the penalty list issued Jan. 6, students not only owed time. Two hundred thirty-five students owe S240. 69 to various places and 132 students lost and will have to replace 137 library books. Students must remove their names from this list before they can take their exams. An official awards pro gram prepared by the Gregg Awards department is under way in the commercial classes. Various awards will be avail able in the typewriting divi sion, some for the acurate typ ing of different problems, and others for a speed with a limited number of errors. Shorthand students will try for awards in dictation and transcription. A new senior math class will begin Monday at PHS. This is being organized to benefit senior students who haven't taken much math in high school. It is more or less a refresher course for those who plan to attend col lege this fall, or for those who are weak in math. grow longer. "Who will win?" was on everyone's mind. After 10 minutes of scram bling and trying to make money stretch, it was over, and the Senior class came out victorious. Now, with all of the excite ment over, the class presi dents stepped up to the podi um. Richard Evans, senior class president, was given the seat of honor as all of the other class presidents pro claimed the superiority of the Senior class. Then, a weary crowd filed out of the gym, i m any grumbling, many happy, but all were glad, for this was the official starting of the March of Dimes drive at Crater High school. Three student teachers from Southern Oregon college are now teaching in the Phoenix High school. The teachers are Ronald Maurer, assisting Mrs. Mildred James with mathe matics; Ted Tenney, assisting Roscoe Larson with general science and biology; and Mrs. Alva Graham, assisting Mrs. Mabel Sims with journalism and sophomore English.

A hush fell over Crater this week, and especially on Mon day. Every once in a while, there would be a mad scurry and a jingling, apparently coming from the pockets of those mad - scurriers. Every one was very secretive about everything, and if one didn't know what was going on. it would be no easy task to find out. Finally, after much whis pering and scheming, the as sembly bells rang to start the March of Dimes Kick-off as sembly. Tension was thick and excitement was high as the assembly was called to order, and at last, it was be gun. Money was being put into large cans, and distribut ed to waiting hands out on the gym floor. These able hands and nimble fingers were starting to form long lines of money across the floor. There was much con fusion and excitement, but the the lines still managed to Iowa tests of educational development will be given to students here during the first two weeks in February.

Jackson School By Christina Buckmaster Melinda Homer There is a bulletin board board in our main hall. Every room participates in decorat ing it with a mural. The scene this week, done by Mrs. Mur rel Harvey and her second grade class, makes us think about wintery days. Second graders are good artists. We have received three new carts to put our encyclopedias on, so that it would be easier to move them from room to room. Now, every room has at least one set of encyclo pedias for use. Mr. Leonard Mayfield, our superintendent, is having the rooms repainted. Room 28 was first room to be done and everyone thinks that the painter did a nice job. We have two ping pong tables in the basement, which was the old gym. Most of the fifth and sixth graders enjoy playing ping pong. A new group has been add ed to the rooting section of PHS. Several of the boys have started a white shirt cheering section. It was first used at the Eagle Point game, Jan. 17. There was a good turn out for the new organiz ation.
