Table Rock-A recent letter
from regional editor, ' John
Stafford to M.T. correspond
ents, tells us we are invited to
and urged to attend a "pow
wow" and luncheon today at
the Jackson hotel in Medford.
A film, showing the Chicago
Tribune being produced will
be shown, and discussions on
publicizing events and prob
lems in getting news from
some sources will be held.
This will be a good chance for
the old time quil) users to get
acquainted with the many
new ones. Following the
meeting, a tour of the M.T.
and various departments will
be held. In checking the list
o 22 correspondents, we find
we are the only male in the
bunch. All the rest arc lady
scribes, with John Stafford
and me being the only men
to be at the party. We wonder
if we hadn't better take our
wives alone: for protection
Otherwise Stafford and I will

wheelbarrow load of baled
hay which he was taking to
feed cattle on a rather steep
hill. Although we knew the
Mayfields to be a sturdy, hard
working race of people, we
' hardly expected to see a sup
posedly sick man doing this
kind of work. During our con
versation we learned some in

years old, wears no glasses,
but regularly reads the M.T.

, and hitting him dead center.
This coyote was peculiar in
' that he didn't have a sign of
a tail, Its hind parts shaped
like a manx cat. The May
fields are pioneers of southern
and western Oregon, many of
them and their close relatives
... can be found from Canada to

Problems of High
School Students
Grants Pass-A discussion of
problems of high school stu
dents at the junior level was
the topic of the panel of teach
ers at the junior sectional
meeting of the Grants Pass
High School PTSA Tuesday
evening, Feb. 7. ' :
Panel members included
Mrs. Maxine Jones, Howard
Harrison. Charles Bothwell,
Stanley Marchington, and
Thomas Dcnney.
Denney spoke of the value
of counseling service ' and
guidance as a means of cutting
down on absenteeism, juvenile
difficulties with the law and
students dropping out of high
school. In the years since such
help has been available at
ninth grade levels and lower,
the - amount of students
dropping out of high school
has almost been cut in half.
Denney. said that continued
absences from school were a
warning that trouble was de
veloping and that if individual
contacts could be made with
the students at this early
stage, much good could be
accomplished. The idea could
be ; conveyed to the student
that someone was interested
in them and their problems.
Explains Tests ,
Harrison explained the
many tests being given on
national levels to college
prepatory students, some as
early as the sophomore year.
He pointed out the advisabil
ity of having junior students,
with college In mind, take
college entrance examinations
and then repeat them, if neces
sary, in their senior years. In
this way they would become
less nervous over the idea of
the test, more familiar with
its pattern and, in almost all
Instances, colleges would ac-
cept the better of the two
grades. He urged parents to
let their children assume
responsibility and make their
own decisions right now, so
that they might approach the
adjustments required when
they go to college on a more
mature level.
Describes Activities
Mrs. Jones, a junior class
faculty adviser, limited her
discussion to a description of
the main activities for Juniors
In the remaining semester of
school. She mentioned the jun
ior prom to be held in April
and suggested that parents en
courage their sons or daugh
ters to volunteer for commit
tees te work on this affair,
stressing that everyone's help
would be appreciated, and
that the students themselves
would benefit from the friend
ships made during the process
oi helping.
She explained the plan fol
lowed in the selection of jun
ior girls to carry the rose
arches for the high school
graduation, making It quite
clear that any girl who want
ed to participate was wel
come. Girls collect and make
their own arches and she
made mention of the type pf
simple dress to be worn.
Marchington concluded the
discussion with a description
of the class picnics to be held
May 26. He requested parent
cooperation in not encourag
ing students to take their own
cars to the picnics. He suggest
ed that students be encour
aged to attend these picnics.
Business Meeting
Preceding the panel discus
sion there was a brief business
meeting conducted by Mrs. R.
J. Millemann, president. A
n o m I n a ting committee to
