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

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

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

must describe the article lost

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.

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

really accurate measurement
by psychological tests of

In reporting to the Ameri

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

"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

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.
