Glass of 1908 Holds Reunion ere
Nine members of the 1908
graduating class of Medford
High school held a 50th anni
versary reunion May 24 at
the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Samuel D. Earhart, 11 North
Peach street. Seventeen stu
dents made up the class, but
five were unable to attend,
and three are no longer liv
ing. Six still live in Medford.
Attending the reunion
were Mrs. Raymond Caufir
(Ruth Merrick) Oregon City;
Mrs. Lawrence Horton (Anne
Hansen, Klamath Falls; Mrs.
Mabel Wilson Morrow, Port
land; Miss Fannie Whitman,
Mrs. Elmer E. Wilson (Myrtle
Riley), Mrs. H. D. Powell
(Blanche Wood), Mrs. H. A.
Stanley (Gladys Curry), Fred
Strang and Dr. Earhart, all
Medford.
Unable to attend the event
were Herbert Kentner, Mrs. ,
Kentner, the former Alice
Streets, Cfcla re Wines Thorn
ton, Cecil Boswell Horning
and Faye Burchell Magerle.
Deceased are Treve Lums-
den, Percy Cochran and Earl
Minear.
Guests for the reunion were
Miss Beulah Warner, Med
ford, who was principal of
Medford High school in 1908,
Miss Jane Snedicor and her
brother, Frederick Snedicor,
who were members of the
faculty, and Mrs. H. U. Lums
den, mother of Treve Lums
den. The class of 1908 was the
first to attend Washington
school, which stood where the
Jackson county courthouse
now stands, and which .had
been built to replace a struc
ture destroyed by fire. The
members also were the last
class to graduate from the
same school, since the follow
ing year a high school was
built on North Bartlett street
where a Safeway store now
stands. It.in tdrn was replaced
by the present structure on
South Oakdale avenue.
It is of interest to note that
Mrs. Powell's three children
and one of her grandchildren
have graduated from Medford
High school. Mr. Strang's two
children both were graduated
from the same school, and
Mrs. Stanley's two sons are
also alumni of the school.
Of the 17 members in the
class, .Miss Whitman, Mrs.
Wilson, Mrs. Powell, Mrs.
Stanley, Mr. Strang, Dr. Ear
hart, Mrs. Morrow and the
late Treve Lumsden were all
born in Medford. Some were
born in homes located in a
section which is now the
heart of the city's business
district.
The group enjoyed a buffet
dinner and then lingered late
to talk of olden days and to
look at pictures taken many
years ago.
Others present for the din
ner were Dr. Earhart's wife,
who was hostess for the eve
ning, Mr. Caufield, Mr. Hor
ton, Mrs. Strang and Mrs.
James A. Grigsby, the latter
having accompanied Mrs.
Lumsden, her aunt.
When nine members of the 1908 gradu
ating class of 'Medford High School held a
reunion here May 24, two of their teachers
attended the dinner. They were Miss Jane
Snedicor and her brother, Frederick Snedi
cor, who still make their home in this city.
Pictured here are (left to right, seated) Mrs.
Elmer E. Wilson, Miss Snedicor, Mrs. Ray
mond Caufield, Oregon City, and (left to
righl.standing) Fred Strang, Mr. Snedicor
and Mrs. Lawrence Horton, Klamath Falls.

Spring Cleaning
77n?e fo Clean Up o
Home Safety Hazards
' Lincoln, Nfeb. OR Spring
cleaning is a time to clean up
safety hazards, says a Univer
sity of Nebraska safety spe
cialist. Clear 'the yard, and. other
areas where children play, of
broken glass, loose strands of
wire and nails, 'said William
D. Luteg.
He also suggested ridding
closets, attics and basements
of &stepaper and other dis
carded materials which cause
fires. Also remember to keep
curtains away from stoves and
burners, he added.
Portland More than four
per cent of all grade school
children tested in Oregon tire j
found to have some actual or
potential hearing problem re
quiring medical attention.
To help focus public atten
tion on this problem, the Port
land Center for Hearing and
Speech, the Oregon Board of
Health and numerous local
health departments are now
participating in Better Hear
ing month.
Many adults trace their ear
troubles back to childhood
days, according to the hear
ing month sponsors. A large
number of hearing defects are
preventable. To safeguard to
morrow's adults, parents are
urged to follow these general
recommendations: ,
1. Any running ear is dan
gerous to a child's health and
may cause much destruction
of the hearing. Take the child
to your doctor at once.
2. Frequent colds and snif
fles often affect the hearing,
so keep the child's health at
its best. If he does have a
cold, take care of him at
once don't let it drag on.
Find out what causes frequent
colds. .If there is an earache
or if one or both ears "close
up" during a cold, consult
your doctor immediately.
3. Inflamed, swollen ade
noids may cause middle ear
abscesses by closing the tube
between the ear and the
throat. Middle ear infection
will produce a hearing loss
which may not disappear en
tirely when the infection is
cured.
4. Contagious diseases
like scarlet fever, measles,
diphtheria, mumps and
whooping cough often are
the cause of ear trouble for
many children, especially the
young ones. Take advantage
of protective "shots". Watch
your child for signs of ear
ache and discharge during
and after the disease. Consult
your doctor at the first evi
dence or suggestion of ear
trouble. Much permanent loss
of hearing can be prevented
through prompt action.
5. Foreign objects in chil
dren's ears may cause a hear
ing loss and lead to infection.
They should be removed
promptly by a physician.
6. Soft wax in the ear is
normal. If wax becomes had
and packed in the ear canal,
a physician should be con
sulted. 7. If a child blows his'nose
hard or with one or both nos
trils partly closed, especially
during a cold, the risk of ear
infection is greatly increased.
8. It is dangerous for chil
dren, and parents too, to
"poke" or put objects into
the ears.
9. A child who is subject
to ear trouble or who has a
hole in the ear drum should
obtain a physician's approval
before swimming.
10. A child will not "out
grow" his hearing loss. The
loss usually remains but the
child's attention improves.
The hearing of "many children
gets worse. ,
11. Explaining a child's re
peated failure to hear by say
ing "he hears .when he wants
to", or by saying, "he just
doesn't pay attention" is a
poor excuse for not obtaining
prompt medical treatment.
