Crater High School
By Judi Davis
Although she may not ac
tually be able to circle the
earth once every hour, Miss
Sputnik did pay Crater High
school a visit May 6.
The occasion was the annu
al Mother's Tea put on by the
Girls' League. Although Miss
Sputnik (Terry Turner) may
have had trouble getting off
the ground in her striking
costume, she had no trouble
in getting a large round of
applause from the audience.
The costume was made of
silver lame and rhinestone
studded plastic, and sported
a be jeweled umbrella frame
that may have served to send
"messages into outer space."
Miss Sputnik announced the
theme of the show, "Around
The World," as she made her
way down the runway. All
the clothes for the style show!
came from Parker Wood's
"Leon's," and "Leon's Tots
to Teens," as did the costume.
Modeling the clothes were
Sandra Guss Pat Peffley,
Donna Burnett, Sandra Ghe
lardi, Julie Ashton, Dianna
Cummings, Sharon Thompson
and Terry Turner. The girls
represented the four classes at
Crater.
Also adding much interest
to the show were the women
and children models. They
were Mrs. Don Miller, Marcie
and Greg; Mrs. Al Setness;
Mrs. Ron Lamb and Mrs. War
ren Holbrook and Nancy and
Ronnie. Mrs. Miller, Mrs.
Lamb and Mrs. Holbrook are
faculty member's wives.
More than 600 people at
tended the Tea, at which the
commentary was done by Judi
Davis. All of the girls in the
school were able to partici
pate in some way in the show,
but those girls heading up
committees were Joan Mor
riss, Helen Hood, Betty Wil
son, Alice Thompson, Joan
Dobrot, Myrna Pfnister, and
Arvella Prom. '
Entertainment was provid
ed by the chorus, Sylvia Yell,
Theresa Cline, aad Lea Padgett.
Crossing a quaint wooden
bridge brought one into a
lovely setting of an "Oriental
Garden" the theme of the
Junior-Senior Prom. Decorat
ing the gym for the Prom, the
juniors used a pond in the
center of the dance floor, anrl
cherry - blossom trees all
around it. Off to one side was
the Pagoda in which Queen
Sandra Guss and her court of
Kay Askwith, Jocky Camer
on, and Sue Blake were seat
ed. A grass hut served as the
refreshment center, and fans
decorated the tables,, while
lanterns were suspended from
the ceiling.
A good crowd of juniors
and seniors and their dates at
tended, as did a large number
of faculty members and hon
ored guests. After the Prom,
there was a swimming party
and an early morning break
fast.
Radio Station KWIN in Ash
land was the scene of an un
usual extra-curricular activity
for the Speech classes at Cra

weeks planning the event, and

effort to have the event oc

Is That So?

Gibralter In flying here
from Granada we saw Mul
hacen from our airliner.
It is the highest mountain
in Spain, towering up 11,420
feet, but somehow or other
it isn't as impressive looking
as the Rock of . Gibraltar.
Though that at its , highest
point, O'Hara's Tower, is
only 1,408 feet, it completely
dominates the sea and land
surrounding it.
Thousands of you who read
this have seen Gibraltar while
serving with our armed forc
es. Many of you have been to
this less than two-squaremile
British Crown Colony, link
ed to the mainland by a
sandy isthmus. But only on
this, my second visit, did I
see the evidence of how gi
gantic rock has see-sawed up
and down through thousands
of years.
Some 700 feet up its sides
are ledges .that have been
scooped out by waves. If all
the polar icecaps melted, the
ocean wouldn't be 700 feet
higher. Consequently, it is
known the Rock was once 700
lower than now.
Furthermore, higher up
and lower down there are oth
er evidences of a see-saw ef
fect that must have resulted
in creating a landbridge
across the Straits to Africa.
Evidence of the land bridge
is found not only in the vege
tation and animal, life of
southern Spain, much of
which must have crossed via
land, without the aid of men
or birds, but also it is found
in the caves .of the Rock.
Four Habitation Periods
Gibraltar is studded with
them. New ones are still
found. In one discovered in
1944 there are evidences of
four periods of human habi-

news broadcasts.
tation, the latest in Roman
times. And most revealing
among the remains in that
cave arid others are the bones
and teeth of such animals as
elephants, rhinoceros, hyena
and bear. How the elephant
and rhino remains got there
could only be because of kills
made by primeval man when
the Mediterranean was a land
locked sea.
I didn't see any of the fam
ous Barbary apes that live on
the Rock, but they are still
there, and there's no reason
why they shouldn't stay in
definitely. They can go where
man can't which is most of
the surface and the Rock is
alive with vegetation. Over
400 indigenous varieties of
plants and ferns grow there,
and many fruit trees have
seeded from the garrison's
gardens. V

Draft of Suggested Subdivision Bill To Be Presented
A draft of a proposed coun
ty subdivision ordinance will
be presented to the county
planning commission at its
meeting June 11 for study
and discussion, County Plan
ning Technician Jack Eaton
told the commission Wednes
day night.
The draft will consist of
14 to 16. pages plus four or
five pages of various forms to
be used by subdividers. Eat
on said he had modeled sec
tions of the draft after parts
of the subdivision ordinances
of Lane and Clackamas coun
ties. Realtors and various sub
dividers also were consulted,
Eaton said.

planning commission, suggest
ed that the proposed ordin
ance be well advertised and
some sort of public relations
program be set up. He also
suggested that drafts of the
proposed ordinance be placed
in the hands of various or
ganizations for their study
and comments. Commission
members agreed that plenty
of notice would be given and
a public hearing held before
its adoption.
Regarding development of
a joint city-ocnuty recreation
area in the Camp White dis
trict, it was reported that
Mayor John Snider will ask
the county court to allow the
county engineer to make an
estimate on dam construc
tion. Construction of a proposed
dam on Whetstone creek
would establish a new lake
on city property between
Kirtland rd., Pacific highway
and Table Rock rd., it was
explained. Lakes owned by
the state game commission
in that area also would be en
larged and included in the
project. The chain of adja
cent lakes on property owned
by Charles Hoover and sons
also would be used for the
recreation project.
Eaton ' said the county
court was to have written
owners of property by the
Cameron bridge on the
Applegate river regarding its
purchase for a recreation
site. He said he has not yet
received a reply.
Ed Strother, planning com
mission member, said both he
and County Judge Rodney
Keating liked a piece of
property in the Shady Cove
area for a recreation, site. The
property faces Indian creek
on the north side and High
way 62 on the east side, Stro
ther said.
Water Available
The property includes 16
acres, but the owner probably
would not sell all of it, Stro
ther added. Both water and
electricity are obtainable, he
said.
The proper procedure for
making the recreation site
study was discussed. Commis
sion member Loyd Selby said
he was afraid the group might
neglect proper procedure
and not take projects assign
ed in proper order by pro-1 Members agreed that let-
