part in winning the game.
Janice Crip, Ruth Hocker
snyth, Lynn Sjolund, and

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

worthwhile projects are be

still to come. The end of the

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

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. The members wore
white shirts and bow ties.
