But the poltical spotlight in
California during the week
was beamed principally on
Nixon, who spent three days
campaigning for votes in his
home, state.
In speeches at San Diego
and at Knotts Berry Farm at
B u e n a Park, Nixon stated
that the United States should
protect the islands of Quemoy
and Matsu off the coast of
Communist China.. Kennedy
had claimed this country had
no unconditional pledge to de
fend the offshore islands from
attack by Communists on the
Chinese mainland.
The vice president replied
that Kennedy's program
would lead not to peace but
to war because any conces
sion to the Communists would
lead only to new demands.
Elsewhere, there were
these developments:

SCHOOL MEWS
Crater High School
By Lynn Malot
To promote more school
spirit and to enlarge attend
ance at the pep assemblies, the
Crater High faculty decided
to give $5 in cash to the class
that could make the most
noise during the pep assembly
for the Crater-Medford game
Almost any noise was allowed
except for guns, bombs, fire
crackers, etc.
The classes accepted the
challenge and proceeded to
make as much noise as possi
ble. There were such noise
makers as fire sirens, air
horns, drums, cow bells.
Kids ' beat on barrels and tin
cans. The competition was
keen, but the seniors were
victorious. .
The yell squad, besides
leading yells, put on a hilari
ous skit about "Katy the Kat-
erpiller." The spirit was at
its highest and best. Never
have the halls of Crater
known a more successful pep
assembly. .. .
The main topic of the last
student council meeting was
that of the 10th annual Home
coming Friday. After much
discussion, the council decided
there would be a noise parade
the afternoon before the game,
with a decorated convertible
for each class' princess to ride
in. A prize was given for the
best decorated car. They also
decided that the council would
decorate one big float for
Comettes and the yell squad
to ride in, The noise parade
started at Crater and ended
in Central Point with a big
pep rally.
The bonfire and serpentine
were also discussed. Thursday
evening there was the tradi
tional burning of an effigy
and a huge pep rally and ser
pentine. The princesses , stood
on a platform while the yell
squad led the rally. A visit
was made by the "Ku Klux
Klan" when the effigy is
thrown into the fire. The Ser
pentine wound into Central
Point from Crater and back
again.
The Homecoming princess
es were announced last Friday
by Leonard Warren, head foot
ball coach. The princesses and
queen were chosen by the
football players. Senior prin
cess is Becky Ferrell; Junior
princess, Diane Rowe; sopho
more princess, Sandra Beas
ley; and freshman princess,
Lorraine Hixson. The queen
will be crowned during the
halftime of the Crater-Yreka
game, and then again during
the dance following the game.
The Comettes- have been
selling tickets to raise money
for future obligations, such as
the basketball banquet. The
winner will be announced dur
ing the halftime of the Home
coming game. The Comettes
also are selling Crater port
folios. The pep club's main
project this fall is sponsoring
the Homecoming dance and
halftime show.
The Girls League held a
Big and Little Sister Day for
all senior and freshman girls.
The purpose was to acquaint
the freshman girls with their
senior sisters. Connie Mitch
ell, who is in charge of the
event, explained the tentative
plans to keep the Big and
Little Sister program operat
ing all year. Cookies and
punch were served as an add
ed attraction.
Because there are nn Inner.
