chool News- Crater High School By Judi Davis Instead of the police being after teen-agers all of the time, last week, some Crater students were after the po lice! Now, what would a group of teen-agers be doing after the state police? It seems as though we never tire of campaigns. Crater just this last week has finished with the March of Dimes drive, and now we are launching a Safety Campaign. The cam paign is being sponsored by the Crater Comments, the school newspaper, and the students who sought out the nolice were reporters. The Birls on this unusual job were Shirley Swindler, Louise Mc Gee, and Janet Scalberg. They had previously contact ed the state police and had asked to look through their files for pictures of automo bile accidents to use in' a dis play for the trophy case. The police were cooperative and seek the pictures that they needed. Last year, Crater entered the National Safety Contest sponsored by Kemper Insur ance company and tied for fourth place in the nation. We are hoping to do as well If not better this year. The drive officially starts March 3 and ends on April 4. Our campaign is in the planning stages now, with several com mittees already functioning through March 21. During this time, on March 20, 21, and 22, many of the teachers will be attending the state OEA con vention in Portland. The GAA girls hope for good weather so they might be able to earn more points toward GAA awards. It was finally possible for the Girls League to have a meeting last Thursday. It has . been hard to schedule a meet ing because of all of the oth er activities. At this meeting, the Girls of the Month for the past two months were named. Receiv ing the silver discs with the Girls of the Month inscription , were Judi Davis, Girl of the Month for December, and "Sandra Guss, January's choice. Presenting the discs . was Carol van der Hellen, I president of the club. After the presentation's the ; Freshmen girls' received a lot of laughter for the very enjoyable skit that they pre- seated. It was depicting a typ- I ical school day, with man humorous touches added to it. In the following months, the other classes will present their assemblies, with a prize going to the best one. Recent news is the naming of the assistant editors for the annual and paper staff a short while ago. Helping Sandra Guss, editor-in-chief of the Comments is Sherry Koellner. Assistant page edi tors are Sharon Griffitts, and Louise McGee. Taking over as new sports editor is Bob Lichti. Bob is filling the job previously held by Les Kel low, who resigned to take over the job of business man ager for the Constellation. Assisting coeditors of the annual, the Constellation, Linda Warren and Pat Hig inbotham are Mary Jones and Sally Carr. All of the assistant editors are in line for the head jobs on next year's staff. April 24, open house, and May 9, the Chorus and Band concert, are two important dates for Central Point Junior High and Grade school. Band students, under the. direction of Harry Meyers, are prepar ing new numbers. This will be the first appearance for the grade school band. Chorus members are preparing spec ial numbers selected by Rob ert Humphrey, chorus dir ector. In preparation for open house, teachers and stu dents have worked hard all year to show parents the work that has been done. Book circulation in the school library has been about 200 books a day. Students have found many new and in teresting books in the library this year. Foreign coins have fascinated and i n t e r e'st ed many boys and girls lately. Also, model homes were made by the third grade boys and girls and were displayed in the library for other grades to see. The Pointers' fourth sixth week will come to an end on March 7. The Pointers will receive their report cards on March 12, to be returned be fore the following Friday to start a new six weeks. The final games of the Pointers' regular s c hedule were played Feb. 13, at Me Loughlin Junior High in Med ford. Both seventh and eighth grade teams lost-to the McLoughlin teams. The sev enth grade score was 20 to 40, and the eighth grade score 26 to 36. Two extra games will be played with Howard school because some of the basketball players did not get to play during the regular schedule. These games will be played at Central Point Jun ior High gymnasium at 3:30 Feb. 21. A Valentine theme was tsed for the Future Home- fakers dance after the - ffrants Pass game Friday tight.

The juniors were third with $55.44 while the seniors finished last with $48.79. Some of the money raising activities taking place were sock hops, cake sales, raffles, a movie, chili feed, blanket toss,- princess contest, blue crutch sale, and asking for donations.

The student council decided at its lastt meeting to change room representatives every 12 weeks instead of twice a - year. This was also added to . the student constitution. The council also talked about stu n dents taking things that be r. long to others. If someone f loses something, the person must describe the article lost before reclaiming it. Last week Mrs. Dena De- Korte's fourth grade room challenged Mrs. Lois Seitz's fourth grade in a geography contest. Each child was to make three questions on France and one on Switzer land. There were two child ren from each room who sat on the panel. One would ask a question. If the one he call ed on could not answer his question, he would sit down. The one who had asked the question would take his place. When all four children from one room were up, that room won. By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York OP) The muchly disputed question of whether mentally disturbed people are more or less l ntel 1 igent than mental ly stable peo ple, has had a new answer which is that they're less intelligent.' This is counter to a opinion among that, generally speaking, neurotics particular ly and even many psychotics are superior in simple intel ligence to the population as a whole. It also is counter to the opinion that the degree of intelligence has not relation to mental disturbance. The . new answer comes from a statistical comparison of the intelligence test scores of a nember of men who were discharged from the Army during World War II for psy chiatric reasons, with the socres of men who had no recorded emotional difficul ties with Army authority. Make Comparisons The comparisons were made by John B. Miner and James E. Anderson, psychologists, for the conservation of human resources project of Colum bia University. Some of the support for psychological theories that the mentally disturbed often are superior in intelligence, comes from historical ex amples. For instance, Neapo leon hardly was a paragon of mental stability, and there are notable examples among scientists and other intellec tuals, some of whom had men tal breakdowns. But the new statistics showed that before there was any question of future mental breakdown, some World War II inductees who were gener ally lower in intelligence than those who wouldn't (break down. By extending their studies to records of the veterans bureau, the scient ists already were able to show that the pre-breakdown intelligence of men who later became severely and chronic ally disturbed was below that of individuals who recovered from severe disturbances. Miner and Anderson recall ed previous statistical efforts to answer the question. Some of these give a yes answer, some gave a no. They felt this contradiction was due to the distracting elements which enter into neurotic and psy- Graceful Cape j&r 7102 chotic thinking and prevent a they said. really accurate measurement by psychological tests of simple intelligence. In reporting to the Ameri can Psychological Associa tion, they said that "strictly speaking" the results could apply only to the men studied those who were inducted into the Army during the last four months of 1942. But the results can be applied "with some degree of confidence" to all who served in the Army, and "similar results" prob ably would be obtained if you made the same study of the whole U.S. population, Regulus Brightest Star In Lion Constellation We had a spelling contest about a week ago with the other fourth grade class.

By FAY BENTLEY "The Lion flames. There the sun's course runs hot test. Empty of grain the arid fields appear When first the sun into the Lion enters," wrote the Greek poet Aratos. Down through the ages the constellation Leo the Lion has held a close relationship with the sun. Ancient people, be lieving the lion to be super ior to all other animals, also felt 'the sun was superior to all other stars. At the time when the con stellations were designed the sun was "in" this star group on the first day of summer, or the summer solstice. The highest temperatures of . the year were experienced at that time. The lion was a hot temper ed, fiery beast which many people feared. So it seems only natural for the star group, which is probably the most famous of all the con stellations in the zodiac to be named after the king of beasts. In ancient times the sun entered, or arrived at a point between the earth and Leo the Lion one month earlier than at the present time. During the extreme heat of summer, the lions of the des ert would seek the'cooler val ley of the Nile river. At this time the sun was in Leo, and some people feel this might account for the name Leo the Lion. It is believed that Leo the Lion was among the first of n.he Babylonian constellations. Here, too, it held a. close re lationship with the sun. Sculptured on many of the palaces in Persia is a crouch ing Lion with the rising sun at his back. Their national banner also carried a picture of the sun in Leo the Lion. Puma Springing Ancient Peruvians pictured this constellation as a puma springing upon its prey. In Mexico the Lion was worship ped. So we find that people of both the eastern and west ern world regarded this sky picture as a giant member of the cat fanrily. According to Greek myth ology, a fierce and terrible lion, much larger and strong er than any ordinary lion, was terrorizing the people in a little country called Nemea. Hercules was ordered by his jealous cousin, King Eurys theus, to slay the creature and return with its skin. This was the first of the Twelve Labors of Hercules. This daring young man concealed himself by a wat erhole. where the animal came to drink- As the lion ap proached and began to slake his thirst, Hercules drew his spear. Just then the beast crouched ready to spring. Hercules dropped his spear and strangled the lion to death with his bare hands. He then returned to his cou sin with the skin of this un usually beautiful creature. Juno persuaded Jupiter to place this magnificent ani mal in the sky. Other Versions There is more than one ver sion of this story. Some say that Hercules uprooted a nearby tree after dropping his spear and overcome the Every Friday a first 'grader gets a chance to take Toasty home for the weekend. v lion with the tree trunk. He then fashioned a club from this tree and carried it the rest of his life. By 9 p.m. Leo, the Lion is well above the eastern hori zon and nearly due east. One of the identification points of Leo is The Sickle or "ques tion mark backwards," out lined by six stars. Regulus, the star at the bottom of The Sickle, is the brightest in the constellation. To the left of The Sickle and lower in the sky is a triangle which represents the hind quarters of the beast. Denebola, the star farthest to the left in this triangle points out the tail of the Lion. It is the second brightest, or Beta star, of this sky picture. Leo the Lion appears above the eastern horizon in Jan uary, travels across the sky during the months of spring and summer, and in August disappears beneath the west ern horizon.
