o MEDFORD MAIL THlburttl. NibUruAL), OrttGON VHUHSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1961 C 7 SCHOOL NEWS Medford High School Edited by Sandy Shugart John James, senior, has been named a principal for appointment to the Air Force academy at Colorado Springs, Colo., by former Congressman Charles O. Porter. John Crawford, Ralph Lob dell, and Bob Mclnlyie, Med ford High seniors, were de clared alternates for another principal in Oregon. The four students had each taken a special Civil Service exam last fall, besides appear ing for a personal interview. They were also required to have a preliminary physical examination. James, in order to qualify for admission to the academy, must now (1) pass the college board tests with a high score, (2) take specific mental exams required for applicants, and (3) pass a final, and somewhat rigid, physical exam admin istered by AF personnel. Alternates will be accepted only if their principal doesn't qualify for administration, and they in turn can meet the requirements. Pat Cranston has been named the 1961 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow for Medford High. Pat received the highest score in a written examina tion on homemaking knowl edge and attitudes. Her ex amination paper will be en tered in competition with the winning papers from other schools to name the state Homemaker of Tomorrow. The competition is part of a $110,000 homemaking edu cation program sponsored by General Mills. Pat will become a candidate for the $1,500 first prize and $500 second prize scholarships. Seniors wishing to visit either the University of Ore gon or the Oregon State col lege campus will have such an opportunity during "senior campus week end," Jan. 28 and 29.
