InformaHon Asked
On 'Mouse' Rocket
Washington IPi Rep.
John E. Moss (D-Calif.), has
demanded that the Air Force
give a "full explanation" of
why it tried to keep secret
the fact that it sent a mouse
aloft in a rocket April 23.
Moss, chairman of the
House Information subcom
mittee, noted that the Air
Force withheld news of the
rocket-borne mouse for five
days after its flight in the
nose cone of a combination
Thor-Vanguard rocket.
The rocket, fired from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., was in
tended to travel more than
5,300 miles but fell short of
its target. The nose cone was
never recovered.
Main purpose of the test
was to check on the ability
of the nose cone the type
that would be used on continent-spanning
intercontinental
ballistic missiles to with
stand the intense heat of re
entering the atmosphere aft
er a flight into space.
A secondary purpose, in
volving the mouse, was to ob
tain further data about the
ability of an animal to sur
vive such a flight.
Pat Newbry and Judy Lam
bert. Sylvia Morris will serve
as alternate.
Boys League officers were
elected last week. Bob Pond
was elected president, with
Fred Funston as vice presi
dent. Others are Larry An
derson, treasurer; George
Koch, sergeant-at-arms; and
Pete Rasmussen, secretary.
Nineteen senior girls partic

caravan went through down
town Medford, and then split
into two units. One went to
Jacksonville and Phoenix,
and the other to Central Point
and Eagle Point. Each girl
drove a 1958 automobile in
the parade.
"May I have one? Exchange
with me." These remarks
buzzed through the halls of
MHS Friday on the occasion
of the arrival of senior calling
cards. Monday, graduation
announcements will go on
sale for those seniors who or
dered them.
An estimated 1,000 people
attended the city-wide art

classes from the first through
the 12th grades. Some 15
pieces of senior high art work

Another club to elect offi
cers last week was the schol

Honor. Elected were Frank
Peterson, president; Sandy
Hess, vice president; Robert
Allen, secretary; and Pam
Stacy, treasurer.
