Jacksonville, Miss Oregon of 1962. from Greg Keith, Thespian troupe president. Miss Wyatt is a former Thespian. In the past, several Medford High school students have Met Opens, Corelli Earns Big Ovation New York - HOT - Franco Corelli, an Italian tenor, stole the show from American so prano Eileen Farrell Monday night at the opening of ;he Metropolitan Opera's 7f!lh sea son, an occasion marked by theatrical glamor rather than social prestige. Corelli scored tremendous ly in the title role of "Andrea Chenicr," Umberto Giordano's 66-ycar-old opera about love and death in the French revo lution. The tall, handsome opera star jettisoned his usual ballast of bolognese ham and ascended to true operatic greatness as the liberal poet whose love for an aristocratic beauty brings them both to the guillotine. . Time after lime the splen dor of Corelli's voice and the conviction of his Hcting made Miss Farrell's vocal and dra matic interpretation of the noblewoman, Maddalena di Coigny, seem shallow by com parison. The audience, which was tepid in almost all its reactions lo the bountifully produced opera, seemed lo respond only to Corelli. His curtain calls brought a stormy ovation from a pot pourri audience of celebrities Including Mrs. Joseph P. Ken nedy, the President's motlu r; Vice President Emmanuel Pe lacz of the Philippines, actor Cyril Rilchard, social leader Mrs. Winston Guest, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, theatrical pro ducer Billy Dose, philanthro pist Mary Lasker, former Am bassador Lewis D.

Central j?exafl Pharmacy RELIABLE PRESCRIPTIONS Proposal To Divide PTA To Be Presented for Vote Central Point - A proposal to divide the Central Point Elementary Parent Teacher association will be presented to the members for a vote at the next meeting to be held Thursday, October 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the Junior High school. The purpose of this di vision is to establish a sep arate unit for the H. P. Jew ett Elementary school. This school has an enroll ment of 563 and it is be lieved that an individual PTA will enable more satisfactory programming. This would not mean that there would be two meetings a month. There has been some opposition to the separation because of this mis conception. The meetings would alternate between the Jewett and Central Point PTA. Those who have chil dren in both schools would go to one meeting a month those with a child in one school would go to a meeting every other month. This is believed to be a more prac tical method for meeting the problems facing the organiza tion. The Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers favors this method and it is used throughout the state. With the division it is hoped that more people will be involved in its operation and therefore active in the association. Safely Program A safety program, directed by the police chief, Ed Zan der, safety chairman, will be presented at the evening meeting. The increasing prob lems of traffic control in the school areas and the result ing danger to the children has prompted the planning of such a program, it is stated. Refreshments will be serv ed after the meeting by moth ers of children in the seventh and eighth grades. Mrs. Donald A. Faber open ed the executive board meet- Varners Attend Recent Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Var ner, Connie, Danny and Randy, 6240 Table Rock road, have returned from a trip to Vancouver, Wash, and Van couver, B.
