School News... Crater High School By JUDI DAVIS During the past week, ev ery corner was taken up by some student with a book, studying for his semester ex ams Friday. One whole day each semester is devoted to nothing but taking semester exams. Each period is length ened somewhat, and activity period is eliminated. This en ables students to have a few minutes extra to complete their tests. At Crater, as in some other schools in the valley, we prac tice the method of exempting. The teacher's exempt accord ing to the .grades and amount of work put out by the stu dent during the semester. This means that the students are not required to take tests in that particular class if his grades and work meet certain standards. He is then free to go wherever he pleases dur ing that class period that he is exempt, as long as he is out of the building and off the school grounds. Report cards will be out Friday, and this is the final evidence of one semester's work. Then, each student can see if all of his "corner study ing" has paid off." More excitement was going on Friday at Crater. It ap peared as if some girls' were moving in for the week end. packed into locker's. There was only one big question on the minds of some of the stu dents (besides the semester tests). "Will they take busses both nights?" The occasion was the bus trip to Klamath Falls for the two game series over the week end. It was not known if busses were going to be taken because of the weather. As it turned out, only one bus was taken Fri day night, and no bus was taken Saturday night because of the weather. Centra!

Success of the promotional campaign abroad to date is attributed largely to use of colorful "Oregon ambassa dor" certificates which have been presented to leading government and industry dig nitaries by Oregon bunsiness men and women traveling abroad as special representa tives of Oregon Gov.

Signed by Holmes The certificates, produced by the Oregon centennial staff and signed by Holmes and centennial commission chair man, Anthony Brandenthaler, appoint the recipient an "Ore gon ambassador, to serve the great state of Oregon by ad vising the people of your na tion of the one hundredth an niversary of the Oregon coun try which will be commemo rated in 1959." Centennial staffers said that more than 1,500 Oregon ambassador certificates have been mailed to key business and government figures from the centennial offices. Each ambassador certificate has the name and country of the re ceiver typed in with special Old English type. To date peo ple in 95 foreign countries have received Oregon am bassador appointments.
