BIX MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUHE Sunday, January 26, 1958 IPtfpcTiiijrjri If you are one of those who fret because it seems a waste to throw away copies of good magazines, you're just the per son to join the Magazines for Friendship movement. Pot pourri heard about this project Thursday at a Zonta meet ing, and immediately asked President Jean Fish for the material to pass on. The movement started with Professor Albert Croissant of Occidental college, Los Angeles, eight years ago and has spread to all parts of the United States. It is endorsed by such rioted personages as Paul G. Hoffman, Bernard Baruch, John Foster Dulles, Eleanor Roosevelt and others who believe that it can be a strong factor for peace and better under standing between nations. The magazines may be sent to librarians, mayors, school superintendents or heads of other institutions, to editors, professors of universities or colleges. Small magazines may be wrapped in a flat package, larger ones rolled. They can be shipped at the rate of 12V cents per pound. Magazines for Friendship will supply gummed stickers, which cost only SI for 300, and which have a simple message of friendship arid a place for the sender's name and address. Of course, only magazines which provide a true picture of American life and character are desirable for this pur pose. No one should send pulp or comic magazines, or those which contain articles and pictures that present a sensational, distorted picture of life in the United States. Among those recommended are Atlantic, American Girl, American Home, Better Farming, Better Homes and Gardens, Boy's Life, Business Week, Coronet, Cosmopolitan, Farm Journal, Field and Stream, Fortune, Good Housekeeping, Harper's, Holiday, House Beautiful, House and Garden, Ladies' Home Journal, Life, Look, Mechanix Illustrated, McCall's, Mademoiselle, National Geographic, Nation's Business. , : Others on the desirable list are New York Times Maga zine, New York Times Book Review, New York Herald Tribune Books, Newsweek, New Yorker, Pageant, Parents Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest, Redbook, Saturday Review, Saturday Evening Post, Science Digest, Scientific American, Science and Mechanics, Sports Illustrated, Sunset, Successful Farming, Time, Today's Woman, Town Journal and U. S. News and World Report. Packages of magazines weighing from 10 to 40 pounds may be shipped from New York and San Francisco, or nearby communities, to U. S. embassies and consulates by way of APO. In this fashion, the cost is even less. Copies of professional magazines are also needed abroad, It is stated. Potpourri often feels pretty dubious about so called "good will" movements, but this one seems excellent from all angles. Paul G. Hoffman has said that Magazines for Friendship can be "a major instrument of foreign policy" and pointed out that it is a concrete, dynamic and yet simple project in which thousands of Americans can engage. Zontian Jean Fish has a list of foreign universities which will use the magazines, and it shows about 30 nations, from Argentina to Yugoslavia. It is possible to find the names and addresses of leading European personages in many nations by consulting Europa Encyclopedia, by consul ting copies of foreign Who's Who volumes; the Editor and Publisher Directory lists the names and addresses of execu tives and editors of the world's leading newspapers and magazines. , In case you send your copies to the mayors, this informa tion may be helpful. In Germany and Austria the mayor is called the burgermeister; in Italy, the sindaco; in France, the maire; in Spain and Latin America, the alcalde. Small boy story: About to set forth for an engagement with the Berg Martens, Mrs. George Rode explained to son Johnny that the Marten's name was spelled differently, like the name of the small furry animal. When papa and mama Rode returned home, Johnny inquired politely "Did you have a nice time at the Beaver's?" . Church story: Recently the board members and minister of -a local church sent out letters asking for donations to help with the church budget. Back came a letter from one member saying "this Christian life is just give, give, give." Whereupon the minister sat down and wrote a thank you note to the member and said "Yours is the best definition of a Christian life I have heard." ." Television tid-bit: After watching the Lowell Thomas travel show last week, one woman decided that the main difference between the African dancers and American drum majorettes in a parade was of custuming and equipment. Change the African feathered headdress, costume and spear to the tall hat, satin uniform and baton of the majorette and the performance would be almost identical same steps, same kicks and same passing of the baton or spear around the head and under and over the legs and arms. - Smart Postman story: Mrs. Steven Dodge was a little surprised last week when she received a letter addressed to her on "Little Car Street." Mrs. Dodge lives on Austin street. i.S. ' 4E-rrsjiL,: ,,z -seniw .7 YjSr f J Soup Combo Tonight, fix a soup combo. Choose two soups, then toss in in added ingredient or two fop a gourmet touch.

Two major needs must be met by the curriculum of a modern high school. The school must not only prepare its students for further edu cation in a college or univer sity, but must offer courses which fill the needs of boys and girls who will enter vo cational and technical schools and those whose formal pub lic education will cease with high school. Through its aca demic and general courses of study, Medford High school meets these various needs About half the graduates go on to colleges or universities. Basically, the curriculum is organized so that either course accomplishes certain basic purposes. As set forth in the registration manual for stu dents these are: First, they lay emphasis upon grounding the pupils in fundamental knowledges, attitudes and skills necessary for under standing one's environment and making adjustments to it. Second, both lead pupils into some of the larger fields of thought and knowledge, of fer opportunity for individual expression, and the develop ment of life and vocational in terests. Third, both seek to train pupils in proper habits of life and vocation interests Third, both seek to train pu pils in proper habits of work and thought, each citizen ship, inculcate right attitudes, habits, ideals and understand ings, and to get along satis factorily with other indvid uals in the social groups. Fourth, both require that once a pupil has selected a field of knowledge for study, he do a consistent amount of pre scribed work in the chosen line to enable him to "try out" in it satisfactorily and to prevent dissipation of time and energy. The general division, ac cording to the manual, offers a wider variety of work than the college preparatory div ision to meet the interests and aptitudes of the students. In addition to English, which is compulsory, it offers a choice of any one of 10 lines of work in which a pupil may major, and also offers free election of subjects to the ex tent of from 1 to 10 units. The quality or grade of work de manded is not quite so high as that required in the col lege preparatory division. It seeks to aid pupils in finding a vocational interest and in giving them a certain mini mum of training in the chosen field. For graduation in the gen eral division the pupil must have 3 units of English, including ninth grade, 1 unit of - American history, 1 unit of American problems, 1 of laboratory science, 2 units- of physical education and 1 of mathematics. In his chosen major he must have 3 or 4 units, depending upon the field. The majors are social stud ies, mathematics, foreign languages, natural sciences, commercial, shop work, home economics, music and art. In the general division courses, homemaking is pop ular and has proven extreme ly useful to the girl graduates. (A survey of the 1954 class showed that about 65 per cent of the girls were married within three years after grad uation.) The courses in cook ing and sewing are planned to give practical instruction in food preparations, in cloth ing selection and construction and tailoring, all information and skills useful to any wom an, whether married or not. Child care is also taught, and home nursing is given as part of the physical education classes. The courses are planned so that the girls alternate their semesters of sewing and cook ing. Since so manv enroll in these courses, the department will be enlareed under the expansion of the school plant now beine Dlanned and which will start in the near future. The industrial arts or shop program offers work in three different fields wood shop, metal shop and machine shop. An automobile shop is to be added during the plant ex pansion. In addition archi tectural drawing and voca tional carpentry are given. In the shop classes students pay for materials for furni ture, metal objects or tools which become their property. Advanced carpentry students build a small house every year. Nine courses are offered in the business department, in eluding shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, clerical practice and business machines. Al though the majority of the students taking the business course plan to go directly into the business world, oth ers prepare themselves to earn a living while paying their way through college. Through their electives, students in one division may take courses in another. Dra matics, music and art are popular courses since the knowledge and information gained in such studies not only may be part of an indi vidual's professional life but are the backbone of his cul tural and social life in years to follow. In the dramatics courses, personality develop ment is fostered. Exercises for developing good posture and ease of movement are coupled with voice and speech improvement and correct makeup is taught. Using scenes from great plays, or one-act plays, the class mem bers plan the action, interpre tation of character and cos tuming under the direction of the instructors. Each class member is held responsible for one particular phase of the presentation, and as the course progresses, they learn to ac cept more responsibility. The ability to evaluate is developed by a written criti que from every member of the class after watching each scene. Presentation of the senior play is handled by the drama department, and this year's play is now in rehearsal. Be g i n n i n g, intermediate and advanced art work is of fered. Problems range from class exercises to units in in dustrial designs, commercial art, art history, sculpture, in terior design, print-making and drawing. Second year work includes additional study in oil painting, water- color, advertising design, portrait drawing and archi tectural form. In the advanc ed classes emphasis is spread from experimentation in de sign, media and application to specific study of academic methods, theory and practice in a variety of art fields. After the plant expansion, it is planned to add a crafts department to the art work, with work in ceramics and similar programs. In the music department, credit is given for instrumen tal work in the school band or orchestra. The department has two bands, with music- Mrs. Edward Lull To Be Club Hostess Central Point Mrs. Ed ward Lull will entertain the Home Economics club of the Central Point grange at her home on Old Stage road, Wednesday, January 29, for a 1:30 p.m. dessert luncheon.

Sweetbreads may be braised or fried without precooking but sweetbreads are always precooked if being used in salads, or for serving creamed with veal or ham. If the sweet breads are not to be used im mediately after purchase, they should be precooked regard less of the preparation method. Merle Norman 'COSMETICS Try Before You Buy 214 FLUHBER BLDG.

In addition to the classroom work, the groups plays for assemblies, and sports events, enter contests, play for festivals and give concerts. Players of stringed Instruments receive individ ual instruction. A merit system is in op eration for both the bands and orchestra which permits students to win letters in mu sic. In the vocal department a male glee club, girls' choruses and a choir are organized each year. No auditions are requir ed for the male glee club and choir, but admission to the choir is based on auditions and this group does advanced work. These groups, and other smaller vocal groups, perform in concerts, sing for assem blies, school programs, tele vision and radio. This year a full scale operetta was per formed to three capacity aud iences. The smaller " vocal groups include the Madrigal Singers, boys' quartets and double quartets, girls' sextet and other ensembles. Mem bership in these is limited to the more outstanding students as selected by the director. To correct an impression conveyed in last week's is sue, it should be stated that about 160 students are en rolled in chemistry in Med ford High school this year. The number 40 used in con nection with a picture of two students in advanced chemis try applied only to the two advanced classes. There are five other classes in that sub ject. O.S.

Lirer Lecture Liver is all meat and no bone. It has little fat so needs additional fat during cook ing. Too high temperature or too long cooking tends to make the liver less tender and also tends to destroy the flavor. Economy Meal - A thrifty meat cut for an economy-minded homemaker is a ham shank. Serve it with sauerkraut, sweet potatoes, buttered peas, lettuce wedge, Boston brown bread and your favorite fruit for dessert. acfley' 17 South Central Lovely SUITS Beautiful SKIRTS Credit gladly given Visit Your "Y" now- TODAY IS gft OPEHH Y.B9.CJL'' OUSE EVERYONE INVITED See- Swimming Skills Diving Exhibition Volleyball Contest ' Basketball Games Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y Club Inductions Indian Guide Pow-Wow FREE Refreshments Square Dancing Ceremonies Y.M.C.A.
