MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON t,UWtbDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1962 Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor , Today's column Is turned iover to our Central Point correspondent, Mary Alice Brushe, who, after writing about Crater High school activities for several months, got a chance last month to tour the plant. The occasion was the PTA's "Back to School Night.'' Don Miller, activities director, was her guide: "While the parents of the students were visiting with the teachers of their children, I walked from room to room with Don, down long lighted halls, through the large immaculate kitchen, and the cafeteria, which can easily accommodate six or seven hundred diners. He explained that in all there were 37 rooms, not includ ing the multi-purpose room, cafeteria or the wrestling room. "The library has more books than I could have ever imagined, over 6.800 reference books, along with maps, charts, and countless other materials needed to aid and promote education. Helen Broadbeck, librarian, pointed out the tape-recorder, record player and radio. All these play an important part in this day's education program. Two Divisions Offered "Crater offers two major divisions in its curriculum, academic and general. Both divisions require a mini mum of twenty credits for graduation. However, the general division is less rigid in its requirements in order to provide an opportunity for students wishing to enter business or a trade to broaden their work in their chosen fields. "The academic division is preparatory for more work in college, university or other school and consequently requires that a student meet college entrance require ments. Each student must sign up for five subjects as a minimum each year. Although six is permissable. "Four languages are taught in the school: French, Spanish, Latin and German, in addition, of course, to English. Other subjects available to a student include: band, chorus, girls' glee club, Vo-Ar, shop, home eco nomics, arts and craft, journalism, bookkeeping, short hand, typing, business machines and mechanical drawing. "Band, under the direction of Norman Carothers, consists of approximately 35 good musicians. 25 fair, and J 5 trying. The music department has been in his care for 10 years. The band plays at football half-times, SOC homecoming. Grants Pass Boatnik parade, Mcdford Pear Blossom parade and Portland's Rose parade. The winter concert, Dec. 14, will be held in the multi-purpose room, at Crater, and is free. Performing will be the band, choir, Lavaliers and ensembles. Select Group of Singers "The Lavaliers are a select group of 25 singers who perform at a professional level and are in constant demand. At this time they are planning to produce 'Swinging High' in the new theater this spring. This will be a stage show with a stage band in the Broad way tradition. "In preparation for the band's Portland Rose festival trip, band leaders are asking each student to do his 'fare share' by working. Anyone wishing to have yard work, car washing, baby sitting, house work, animal grooming or airplane washing done, should call 664-1241 and leave his phone number. A Crater band member will take the job. "In the plant and animal room, Ogden Kellogg, biol ogy teacher, has a room full of cupboards, all filled, he says, with material useful to this interesting subject, such as alligators, insects, plants and skunks (descentcd). Kellogg refused to pose with Petunia, the skunk, so we look a picture of her by herself, instead. "All in all it was quite an interesting experience for me, and the students are fortunate indeed to be able to boast of such a handsome, well managed, modern building." .. , ENLISTS O'Brien - Rodger Wayne Cross of O'Brien was sworn in to the U.S. Navy at Port land Nov. 1 with the rating of high school airman recruit. Cross graduated from Illinois Valley High in 1962. He en listed at the Grants Pass re cruiting station. After receiv ing the oath he left for San Diego, Calif., where he will spend ten weeks completing his basic training. TRANSFERS Prospect James D.

CD Plans Outlined To Montague PTA B 7 Siskiyou County Gets Radiological Defense Kits Y r e k a Siskiyou county has been assigned a total of 43 new radiological defense kits, and they were delivered Nov. 9 to the Siskiyou Coun ty Office of Civil Defense, Civil Defense Director How ard K. Cramer reported. The kits, obtained through the radiological division of the California Disaster office, will be placed at emergency fallout monitoring stations that are part of the local net work to detect and report fallout radiation that would follow a nuclear attack. "In order to qualify for these instruments, which are provided by the federal gov ernment at no cost to the county, we have trained two civil defense monitors to op crate and maintain each moni toring station," Cramer said. Each kit contains three portable rate meters, two pocket dosimeters, a dosi meter charger, and two gas masks. The gas masks will protect monitors in areas where biological and chemical agents might be used. The California potential for dealing with radioactive haz ards will be increased by a total of 3,680 new instrument kits, to be distributed throughout the state to local government agencies similar to those in Siskiyou county.
