$k MAIL TRIBUNE. MedforJ, Oregon, Sunday. May 18. 1958 IPcoitjpcoraiiripS This year there were no fountains, artificial flowers, bright butterflies or silver stars hanging from a sky of synthetic blue at the annual Junior ram 01 jueaiora rugn school. This is the space age, when man not only dreams of flying to the moon, but is building instruments and mach ines designed to do just that. Theme of the Junior Prom was "Things to Come" and in the high school gymnasium last Saturday night the symbol of the nuclear age hung from the ceiling, instead of tinfoil stars. Launching towers replaced romance, and the 1958 Junior Prom queen walked up a modernistic ramp to a "throne" which was a canvas chair slung from slender metal supports and filled with gaily colored cushions. . The queen, too, was quite in keeping with "Things to Come." For this year's Junior Prom queen isn't even a citi zen of the United States she was Margareta Larsdotter Aulin, a tall, slim, pretty and charming girl from a little town in Sweden. Margareta's fellow students at Medford High school like her and admire her enough to nominate her as a senior princess and then to elect her queen, by secret ballot. Their choice met with hearty approval from their elders, too. On every hand Saturday night could be heard wjirds of approval from teachers, parents and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bash, Medford couple with whom Margareta has lived during her year here as an exchange student, were as pleased over her selection as they would have been over such an honor for one of their own daughters. They have a deep affection for Margareta, and will be sorry to see her leave for home the latter part of' June. In return, Margareta has come to understand and like her new friends in the United States, and when she returns to Sweden, she will be one more link in the chain of friend ship between this nation and her native land. When Lena Conard was 15 years old, and a carefree girl back in Kansas, a young man gave her a little bottle of maple syrup as a present. "I won't use it now," Lena told the young man. "I'll save it for our golden wedding anniversary." Perhaps Fred Ryde didn't know then he would marry 'Lena. But he did and Lena kept her promise. The Rydes moved from Kansas to Colorado to New Mexico to California to Oregon everywhere they went Lena took the little bottle f syrup. She carefully packed it, and took care that the )ottle wasn't broken. On the morning of May 6 Mr. and Mrs. Ryde, now en joying the golden year of their marriage, prepared pancakes for breakfast and on them they poured syrup from the little bottle which Fred had given Lena 53 years ago. The yrup was still clear and sweet a symbol, perhaps and the couple enjoyed every drop as they ate their golden wed ding breakfast, deeply contented. Albert Huntemann, band director, at McLoughlin Junior High school, appeared with the Ashland High school band last week as a guest conductor. Mr. Huntemann directed the i and while it played a number he had written. His friend, SCenneth Waldroff, director of the Ashland group, had ex pended the courtesy and Mr. H., wondering what the compo sition would sound like when played, gladly accepted. Mr. Huntemann, too, is not one to look to the past for inspiration. His song is entitled "Satellite." O.S.
