o 8 6. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. FRIDAY. JUNE 10. I960 o Tablets By R. E. NEALON Glamour Table Rock-Several from here attended the graduation exercises at Crater HiKh Thursday evening when the following from Table Rock donned cap and gown: Don Ryan, Linda Doran, Glenna May Brown, Byron Rominger, Bob Arbogast, and Larry Ton er, Miss Dcanna Hull was among those graduating at Medford High, Tuesday eve ning. The Doran family, Ray, Ellon, and daughter Linda, spent the week end at Dia mond Lake, and got sun burns and three fish, ac cording to Mrs, Doran. Last Monday evening, with our better half, we attended the annual meeting of the Southern Oregon Historical Society as guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hoover. During an expertly cooked chicken din ner, which was made more appetizing by instrumental music, we noticed many fa miliar faces of pioneers we had known in the past. Among them was Millie Walker, prominent Granger of Gold Hill, Seth Bullis of Med ford, and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hedriek, also of Medford, and many others. Hedriek taught school in Central Point for several years, then in Med ford, until he taught the pop ulation all lie knew, and then retired. Later, we listened to a pep py talk by Frank Jenkins, editor of the Klamath Herald. We were surprised, as Jenkins didn t look to us as the man who writes the column in the Mail Tribune. As he started his talk, he seemed a little jumpy, and appeared some what embarrassed, until ap plause began to break out, then he warmed up, and made a wonderful talk on the State of Jefferson, which was to have been the southern part of Oregon, and the northern part of California. Strong on glamour, he could see It in this area, everywhere he looked. Our likes, rivers, mountains, parks buildings, roads and even our people, everything seemed to be drip ping with glamour, but the sad part ot it is, according to him, that we are not taking advantage of it by getting more tourists to visit here. and stay longer, and bring in to tiic area more than a mil lion new dollars each year. By reading his column we had taken him to be a hard- shelled Republican, but had noticed of late that he had softened a bit, and was not by any means the Nixon type. This was confirmed when he said in answer to our query about his politics, "I am a Republican, but have seen many Democrats that I liked better than some Republicans I know." We were among several from here who attended the 40th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Vincent at the Col. Fred Greene home. Among the numerous friends we met there were members of the S. C. Col lins family, all being pres ent but Clark, who lives in Los Angeles. The Collins family came to this com munity about 1909, and owned and lived on what is now the Bud Robinson farm. In discussing some of our old school days with Ed Vincent, we learned that it was Verne Pendleton, now operator of a service station in CP., who the teacher made write 100 times on the board, "Constantinople is the capital of Turkey." We are somewhat partial to the old one-room schools, and believe pupils learned a lot from the recitations of others, and know that Vern's chalk writing caused a lot of us. including me. to remember the capital of Turkey. Now they have changed the capital, so we need another lesson. Special 'Day7 Held For Band Leader Wc also met Clyde Briggs, an old standby Republican and former resident here, who we remember was painfully sur prised when election returns came in on r.D.K.'s second try for president. He said he didn't know so many people would trade their vote for a chick sales. Roosevelt had sponsored the plan for a bet ter and more sanitary house in back, where the Sears Roe buck catalogue was kept. On Wednesday night, June 1, we were fortunate in gelling a seal in a crowd ed room, and to witness a high school class program, and graduating exercises at the Eagle Point High school. We particularly liked an ad dress by one of the gradu ates, who stressed good morals, honesty, and quoted Solomon, saying that "a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." The Jackson County retired Teachers Assn. will meet Mon day, June 13, at the home of Mrs. J. S. Richardson. . Skunks of the four-legged variety have been creat ing quite a disturbance at the north end of Pumice Lane, and have left samples of their perfume on several BY MARY KELL Mail Tribune Correspondent Gold Hill - The final day of school at Patrick and Hanby Elementary schools of District 6 was designated "Mr. Cook's Day." On June 7, pupils of the two schools invited Char les W, Cook, who is retiring as band leader,' to have his advanced band present a final appearance during an assem bly. Cook was not aware that the assembly had been ar ranged by pupils and teachers as a tribute especially for him until Gllber A. Mack, prin cipal of Gold Hill schools, announced that the event was in his honor. Dave Force, one of Cook's students, expressed ' appreci ation on behalf of the band pupils and schools to the band leader. Students at Hanby and those who have gone on to Crater High school, he said, can be proud that they took advantage of the exceptional opportunity to have had music instruction by Cook. These years have been an experience in their lifetimes that they will always cherish, Force said, and Cook's out standing ability and personal ity have gained him the deep respect and love of his stu dents and parents in this community. Started in 1947 Cook came to Hanby to teach music in September, 1947, following 20 years an Army band leader. He is a chief warrant officer, U. S. Army, retired. He retired from the U.S. Army in July 1947. When he first came to Gold Hill to tertcli band music, the elementary and high school were combined. Since that time, consolidation oc curred, and the grade school was given the name Hanby in memory of a former principal. Fcrd Jones was principal at the time Cook first came to Gold Hill. Since Cook plans to catch up on his fishing during nis leisure hours after his retire ment at Hanby, members of his advanced and little bands at the school presented him a unmuzzled dogs in that vi Among local people taking week end vacations were the Alan Fleischer family and the Robert Dunn s.

Bearer of the gift on behalf of the band students was Gregg Ap plen, clarinet player. He and Dave Force are among eighth graders who will leave the band this year. They will en ter Crater next fall. Cook responded with praise for his band students, teach ers, and parents as well for the success that he has had in developing local talent dur ing his years as band leader here. He said he is assured that these youngsters will con tinue to progress in their music, and urged them to con tinue their study of music un der the new instructor or wher ever they might go from here. He praised Gilbert A. Mack, principal, and other faculty members for their cooperation in scheduling school events so that they would not conflict with the band students' les sons and band rehearsals. He expressed his thanks to every one in the community for their confidence and friend ship during his years at Plan by. Surprise for Mack The last day of school brought a complete surprise for students and Mack, when Cook unexpectedly brought out a gift which very well could have been mistaken for a fishing rod before it was unwrapped. Cook announced that he had brought along something that he thought Mack would need, and con tinued that he had been con cerned about "Poor Old Fath er Hanby Mack," as he hum orously referred to the prin cipal. Cook said that as he leaves Hanby he wanted to leave with Mack one of his treas ures which he had never used - something that he had deep feeling for because it had been made and finished by three different friends dur ing his Army band leader days. The gift was an attrac tive cane that had been made from a part of an airplane that had crashed. To top the oc casion, he brought out an other surprise package which contained a gray derby hat to go with the cane. Cook called upon members of the fourth grade who made up the little band to present number entitled "Poor Johnny Smoker." Since these pupils had turned in thcr instru mcnts which they had rented from the school during their first year, they sang the selec tion. Gilbert Mack announced that Marvin Throne will re place Cook as band leader. Throne has been teaching vo cal music in the school the past year. Bob Turner, retiring stu dent body president, swore in the new student body offi cers. Ihey are Donald Gail, president: Norma Schatz, vice president; Sharon Bailey, treasurer; and Charmaine Doherty, secretary.

BY DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point - The Eagle Point city council reports it will support the Junior Cham ber of Commerce in its all-day 4th of July celebration again this year. Harry Hanscom, Jaycee president, told councilmen at their meeting last Tuesday evening that tentative plans briefly outlined would start with the 4th of July break fast from 5:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. with the congregation of the parade starting at 12:30 and the parade starting at 1 or 1:30 p.m. The Grange again will sponsor a barbecue dinner starting at 1 p.m. and lasting as long as the food lasts. During the afternoon there will be pony rides and other activities going on with some type of dance in the evening. Hanscom stated that they did not have their committee chairmen all named as yet but would have soon. Also approved by the coun cil were the new Eagle Point library hours that will start July 1. New hours will pro vide 20 hours a week and will be open at noon to enable the youngsters to check out and return books without having to get out of school to do so Mrs. Jessie Tycer, librarian turned in the following hours that were approved: Mondays from noon to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. in the evening; Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 to 6 p.m and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 5 p.m. This schedule must be approved by the Public Library of Medford and Jackson County. Fred Bruegger appeared be fore the council and presented two or three types of fire alarm systems that could be used in the Eagle Point fire department and stated that the automatic conference line sys tem would be the cheapest and most efficient of the three. It would probably cost ap proximately $100 to install the necessary equipment and a $35 rental fee each month with a time contract being re quired. Bruegger stated that it would take about 6 months from the time it was ordered before it would be ready to use. According to Bruegger, it takes about 20 minutes after an alarm is turned in with the present system for one oper ator to answer all the calls and the area is too large now to accommodate this. With the conference line, there would be about six telephoes con nected to the number with each of them having to push and set off the alarm after the necessary information had been obtained. Nothing defi nite was decided at present. Joe Whipple appeared on behalf of his garbage collec tion route and stated that he would have to raise collection fees to $1.50 per month and of Sfofe Forester Can Name Fire Wardens Salem HOT Attorney Gen eral Robert Y.
