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

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

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

Crater High School
By Lynn Malot
Since all the valley high
schools decided to shorten the
March of Dimes activities in
their schools, Crater class
presidents decided to discon
tinue class competition. All cf-
1
ss was limited to one proj
ect in school and one project
outside of school.
The freshman sold carli
lunch tickets. The sophomores
and seniors held a slave auc
tion. The seniors were the
slaves. The juniors sold pop
corn balls and had a bottle
drive. Altogether about S120
was raised in three days. This
is short of last year's mark,
but activities were shortened
and some were discontinued.
The college-bound seniors
have been meeting frequently
with the deans, Ron Lamb
and Miss Geraldine White, to
discuss scholarships. The sen
iors are getting every oppor
tunity to apply for scholar
ships from the school of their
choice. There is no reason
that any Interested seniors
shouldn't have a chance at a
scholarship if they meet the
requirements. Seniors inter
ested should attend the meetings.
Jan Hansen was named the
Betty Crocker Homemaker of
Tomorrow at Crater by scor
ing the lightest on the Betty
Crocker test given to all sen
ior girls recently. Jan won
a gold pin and now she has
a chance to compete for state
honors. Her test will be evalu
ated with the top tests from
all the other high schools in
Oregon. The slate finalist then
goes to the national competi
tion, with a chance to win a
scholarship, a trip east, and
other awards.
