Crater Students Explain Teenage Code of Conduct By MARY KELL Gold Hill - Founder's Day was observed and a panel of students from Crater High school discussed the teen ager's code of ethics at the first meeting of the Gold Hill Parent - Teacher association. Mrs. Ogden Kellogg, unit pres ident, conducted the business session. Past presidents pres ent to receive their honor in cluded Mrs. C. Norman Gail, Mrs. Ralph Hixson and H. D. Force. A cash donation was made to the PTA tuition scholarship fund as a tribute to all past presidents of the local unit. Elected on the nominating committee were Mrs. Gail, Mrs. Hixson and Mrs. Ida von Buskirk. Police Chief Floyd Taylor talked five minutes on the hazards which exist when children are careless while riding their bicycles. He sug gested that privileges be taken away from a youngster as a form of punishment, if he is caught disregarding safety rules. He asked the coopera tion of the parents. Gilbert Mack, principal of Patrick and Hanby Elemen tary schools, announced that grade school pupils may not ride the activity bus to the games at Crater on Friday nights. Buy Typewriter Members of the group voted to purchase a typewriter for use by the teachers and stu dents, and dish towels for the school's cafeteria as a unit project. At the close of the business session. Ogden Kellogg, teach er at Crater High school, in- Phone SP 2-6428 1 troduced members of the school's student council who presented the different phases of the teenager's code of con duct that has been accepted by Crater students. Connie McDonough spoke briefly of the various aspects of the code. Bob Gardener, student coun cil president, talked on stu dent life as related to the code of ethics. He read a guide of behaviour that is observed by Columbus High school stu dents, in Columbus, Texas, which is similar to the Crater code. Marlina Coffman explained the rules for home entertain ing in regard to teenagers and Ray Burritt listed important factors about dating which in cluded age, hours, etc. Patty Straus told parents that high school students should not dress elaborately, but stressed neatness and good grooming. Saly Bailey spoke on the im portance or school spirit, and Allician Pinkham presented the Oregon code of conduct. Donald Ryan pointed out that driving regulations are an important part of the ethics that a student is expected to follow, to overcome the car problem. Questions Follow Parents and teachers par ticipated in an informative question and answer period with students. They were told that the driver's training pro gram which is carried on at Crater helps those students who take it to realize the im portance of good conduct when operating their auto mobile. The school administration at Crater has set up certain standards that high school students must observe when driving a car to school, which the student council members feel has helped the car prob lem at their school. This sys tem is strictly enforced with the cooperation of the Central Point police, Donald Ryan said. Parents were informed by the panel that they should make sure they know who their high school student is with, where he or she is go ing and set a time that the student should return home. It was suggested that 10 p.m. should be the deadline for week nights and 12 p.m. Fri day and Saturday nights for girls. The dead line for high school boys on Friday and Saturday nights could pos sibly be 1 p.m., depending on the occasion. The code sug gests that week night activ ities for girls should be lim ited to school, church or club affairs. Crater High school students accepted the state student council code about two years ago. Home Entertaining The student council mem bers said teenagers should have opportunities to enter tain in their homes. Parents should always be home dur ing any teenage party, even though they don't participate in the activities and serving of refreshments, y They ex pressed the opinion that the student should be allowed to do the serving and supervis ing the party if he or she wishes, with the parents re maining in the background; however, if one of the guests should become rowdy, a par ent should not hesitate to in terfere. It should be up to the par ent to limit the individual student's activities, depending on the age of boy or girl, the panelists said. The students said that to their knowledge there are no teenage gangs at Crater. The majority of the students there are not social problems to the school. During the social hour mothers of pupils in the fifth grade served refreshments.

Miss Hammer began her Scouting career as a leader of an Intermediate troop in Madison, Minn.

Smith, teacher of foreign lan guages in Medford High school and president of Ore gon Education association, re turned home last night after a trip to the East coast. She attended the annual meeting of the American Association of School Administrators held in Atlantic City, N.J., Febru ary 13-17, and then spent some time in New York City. During the administrators' meeting Mrs. Smith heard talks by Secretary Ezra Ben son of the Department of Ag riculture; Gov. Nelson Rocke feller of New York; Eric A. Johnston, executive of the mo tion picture industry and a former president of the United States Chamber of Commerce; George Romney, president of American Motors and Dr. James Conant, former presi dent of Harvard university. Mrs. Smith reports that Sec retary Benson is opposed to federal aid to education, that Rockefeller believes in feder al aid only for school construc tion and scholarships, but that Mr. Johnston spoke favorably of federal aid to education on several levels. Dr. Conant gave a preliminary report on his present survey of junior high schools in the United States. He made a similar sur vey of high schools in recent years. I Also on the program was the doctor and biologist who prepared the small monkeys, Able and Baker, for their ex perimental trip into space. He showed talking films of the experiment and the animals and reported they apparently suffered no ill effects, saying they are "still frisky." Since Mrs. Smith has been serving on a national commit tee studying merit rating, she attended special meetings where there was discussion of this problem. She also visited exhibits related to the foreign language teaching field, and gathered information on new material and methods. One of these is recording sections of language text books on tapes which is now being done for a small charge, she reports. In New York she visited the French library and Unit ed Nations to gather material, and also purchased material in New York shops for her high school classes. She at tended the French musical, "La Plume de ma Tante" which has been showing in New York City for some time, and also saw performances of the "Flower Drum Song," "At the Drop of Hat," a two man recital which has received ex cellent reviews in the New York press, and a perform ance of "Macbeth" at the Met ropolitan Opera house Satur day night. Mrs. Smith made the trip by the DC8 pure jet plane which makes the flight from San Francisco to New York City in 4Va hours.
