Second of a aeries of class
reunions being given by grad
uates of Medford High school
took place June 23 at Kogue
Valley Country club. The
preceding week end the class
of 1917 held a reunion din
ner, last night members of
the class of 1947 assembled
at the Country club and a re
union for the class of 19S2 is
set for July 7, also at the
clubhouse.
A cocktail hour and buf
fet dinner was held by the
class of 1942, with 139 pres
ent for the dinner. Several
other members arrived at the
club following dinner. H. .3.
Webber, class president, was
master of ceremonies for the
program and highlight of this
was the reading of a letter
from a classmate who had
not been able to attend grad
uation. When it was an
nounced that Jiro Shimoda
had written to the group, a
stir ran through the room.
The class of 1942 was a
"war" class this nation was
engaged in World War II at
the time and all Japanese had
been assembled in concentra
tion camps.
Thus it was that young Jiro
Shimoda, now living in De
troit, Mich., was not with his
fellow graduates in June of
1942 when they received
their diplomas. He had been
one of the most popular mem
bers of the class, and it was
recalled Saturday night that
some expressed bitterness
and believed he should not
have been taken from school.
The letter was read aloud,
and this Is what Mr. Shimoda
wrote:
Classmate Writes
"Again, 20 years later, I
am unable to be with you to
celebrate a wonderful occa
sion, only this time, it's not
a war but lime and distance.
"I so wanted to bring the
'Mrs.' and four young ones
two boys and two girls out
west to the hometown, but
an undertaking such as this
would require three weeks
by car or a plane trip. Three
weeks with a two-year-old is
rough and we couldn't leave
him that long, and a plane
trip would strain the budget
for six. My wife, Margaret,
wanted me to fly out alone,
but that would mean no vaca
tion for her.
"Perhaps another year or
two, we can undertake siKh
a trip. I sincerely hope so,
since it's been about 15 years
since I visited Medford.
"I wish to send my best
wishes to all of you. I haven't
forRotten you and every onre
, in awhile I look through the
old Crater year books at us
in our younger days.
! "Thanks, again, for the In-
! vilation and I hope you all
have a 'ball.' I'll be thinking
of you that evening. In fact,
that evening we plan to go
across the river to Windsor,
Ontario, Canada, to see Sam
my Davis Jr., to celebrate our
10th wedding anniversary.
"Say, if you've got any
openings for a hot-shot CPA
let me know. I'd love In move
back west. These sultry sum
mers and hay fever really
get me down.
"If any of you are ever out
Detroit way, be sure In give
j me a rail. I'm in Ihe Detroit
phone hook. Have fun!
Your old classmate, Jira
Shimoda."
Letters were also road
from Dr Leonard Mayficld,
i superinlendent of Medford 1
I schools, principal at the time
i the class was graduated, and
from Coach Bill Bowerman.
, Present from the faculty
were De Vere Taylor and
