BEDFORD V-V- if
Graduates of Medford High school now
attending Oregon Stale college took part
last Saturday in a series of principal-student
interviews designed to uncover both strong
and weak points in high school preparation
for college and OSC's orientation program
for new students. Pictured (from left) are

Student
Interviews
Conducted
Annual conferences at Ore
gon colleges and universities
between graduates of Medford
High school and MHS faculty
members ' indicate that the
graduates are ' for the most
part well prepared for college
and have few unusual prob-
studies on ine collegiate levels.
Miss Joseptiine Kirtley,
vice-principal of Medford
High school, was in Corval
lis last Saturday to conduct
the first of the 1959 confer
ences. Later this spring she
will go to Eugene for a series
of interviews with University
of Oregon students who .are
MHS graduates.
Miss Kirtley states that for
the most part, the Medford
students say that they were
adequately prepared in high
school and apparently fare
: better than the average col
lege student. She reported
that a few students in science
and physics reported that
since their last advanced
mathematics had been as high
school juniors, they had tend
ed to lag the first few weeks
of college in mathematics and
. science courses. Miss Kirtley
was able to tell them that
this trouble, reported also by
other students, has now been
remedied. Beginning with this
school year, a fourth year of
"mathematics is being offered
which will bridge the gap for
these students, she said.
The vice-principal states
that year after year faculty
members hear students com
plain "We wish we had paid
more attention to the advice
we were given by you in high
school." This is often heard
concerning English prepara
tion and theme writing, she
said. '
Following the student-fac-
ulty conferences last Satur
day, the teachers were taken
on a tour of exhibits prepared
by the school of engineering.
Each year the exhibits are
the work of a different de
partment. Medford High school fol
lows the interview with ques
tionnaires which the students
answer and return to the high
school office for filing and
reference use. This survey by
way of questionnaires is also
continued after graduation.

Mom Should Teach
Junior to Make Bed
Chicago-(UPD-Mom can light
en household chores by teach
ing Junior to make his bed
before school.
Experts at a bedding manu
facturing firm (Sealy, Inc.)
recommended this quick-and-easy
method for teaching the
small fry.
Treat all covers (except the
i bottom sheet as a single cover.
This cuts the time in half.
Line up hems of top sheet,
blankets, and spread at the
bottom. With the hems even,
flick the bedding forward over
the length of the bed and
tuck in all covers at once
under the mattress end only.
The bedding will hang straight
and neatly along the sides.
Plump pillows and arrange
bedding under and over
them.
It works for Mom, too.

Medford High school; Miss Sheila Spence,
junior in, home economics. Under the pro
gram, the high school leaders have individ
ual, voluntary interviews with their former
students concerning their prpgxess and
problems in college and their appraisal of
their high school training.
Ten Pounds Overweight?
You're in Alarm Zone
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Press International
New York-(UPD -You're in
the "alarm zone" if you're
10 pounds overweight, . ac
cording to Dr. Frederick J.
Stare, head of the nutrition
department at Harvard Uni
versity's public health school
"There should be alarm,'
he said, "because 10 pounds
over normal weight can mean
you'll . die five to 10 years
sooner than you should."
Maintaining correct weight,
according to Stare, is one
way of lessening your chances
of dying prematurely from a
heart attack.
, "We can't guarantee that
you won't eventually die of
a heart attack, but we're rea
sonably certain that normal
weight gives you the best
chance of living out your ex
pected life span."
Dr. Stare, a member of the
National Health Education
Advisory committee, takes
tne view tnat its psychologi-1
cally helpful in reducing to
think 'more in terms of how
much weight cheats you of
life.
Gradual Process ,
If you want to "take it off
and keep it off" think more
of the "five to 10 years" and
'less about smaller dress sizes
and eye-appeal, he said.
Overweight, according to
Stare, isn't something that
happens all of a sudden be
cause you went to too many
festive dinners in a row.
"Many women complain
that they put on the weight
between Christmas and New
Years," he said. "The truth is
that the weight goes on be
tween Newj Year's and Christ
mas 50 to 100 calories more
than is needed, day after day,
week after week." -
The worst years, according
to Stare, are those between
24 and the early 40's.
"You marry and settle
down. Literally, you settle.
You don't dance as frequently
Melodic Works
Selected For
Coming Concert
Compositions which - are
short, concise and with much
beauty of melody have been
chosen for the coming con
cert of the Philharmonic So
ciety of Southern Oregon ac
cording to Richard D. Wer
ner, conductor. The concert
will be given Sunday, March
1, at the Medford High school
auditorium.
Among the works to be
heard are "The Waltz of the
Flowers" from Tschaikow
sky's "Nutcracker Suite" and
the beautiful "Intermezzo"
from "Cavalleria Rusticana"
by Mascagni. Two of the num
bers written in a melodious
vein are "Scotch Poem" by
MacDowell, American com
poser, and the little known
work, "En Mer" by Augusta
Holmes, one of the rather
limited number of women
composers.
The only number on the
program which does not have
beauty of melody is the rath
er rough "Russian Sailors'
Dance" from "Red Poppy" by
Gliere. This was chosen to
lend contrast to the other
wise romantic spirit of the
program.
Bruno Pellegrini is assoc
iate conductor of the orch
estra. Curtain time will be 3
o'clock, ' and tickets may be
obtained at the door after 2
p.m.
Jackson PTA
Jackson Parent-Teacher as
sociation will hold its month
ly meeting Friday, February
20th at 2:30 p.m. in the school
auditorium. A program ob
serving Founder's Day will be
presented.
Church Increases Losi Plane Reward
Dallas, Ore.-(lTD-A reward
for finding a light single-engine
plane missing since Feb.
6 with three brothers aboard
has been increased from $100
to S500.
The reward money is being
offered by the Church of God
of Prophecy, owner of the
plane.
The craft vanished on a
flight from Prineville to Sa
lem. Pilot was Jim Miller, 24,
Ashland, and his passengers
were his brothers, Roy and
Coy, 14-year-old twins of
Turner.
. Resumption of the search
has been delayed until snow
melts along the route over
which the plane flew. Miller
was flying it from Prineville
to Salem for the church."

Panel fo Discuss Blood Pressure
Wednesday, February 18, 195 3
MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE.
A panel of three Medford
physicians, all specialists in
diagonsis and internal medi
cine, will discuss high blood
pressure on the Jackson Coun
ty Tuberculosis and Health as
sociation program at 4:30 p.m.
Thursday on station KBES
TV. The physicians are Dr.
Oscar P. Heyerman," Dr.
Ralph E. Gibbs, and 'Dr. John
L. Welch. They will be assist
ed by Herbert Hunter, medi
cal illustrator of Medford.
The program is part of the
association's recognition of
National Heart month. As
sociation officers pointed out
that high blood pressure is one
of the most common diseases
of the heart.
ANY MAIL
from Barker's?
as you did before marriage.
You don't walk as much. And
you sit more," he said.
Retain Old Appetites
"But you retain, the old ap
petites and that is where you
get caught. It goes on, little
by little. If you don't do some
thing about the first 10
pounds, eventually you find
you're 25 pounds overweight
and heading for fad diets.'
Stare doesn't place much
stock in crash diets. Weight,
lost through such plans, he
said, usually returns with the
resumption of yor normal eat
ing pattern.
Sensible reducing, accord
ing to the expert, involves
cutting down on "portions"
of food more than it does on
cutting out certain foods.
"Eat less, but eat every
thing. You need variety in
your diet."
