Semon Is
Speaker At
Realty Meet
Henry Semon, veteran legislator,
was principal speaker at the Klam
ath Board of Realtors' regular
luncheon meeting. The subject of I
bis talk was OTI and its value and
importance to our community.
In bringing the subject up to
date Semon gave a brief history
of the school from Its earliest be
ginnings. As early as 1941, inter
ested citizens. and legislators felt
that Oregon, needed one or more
trade schools to absorb the high
percentage of high school grad
uates not attending college. Edu
cators estimate that only 18 or
20 per cent of the high scnooi
graduates go to college and of this
group only 16 per cent graauaic.
When the planned source of re
venue failed to materialize the
trade school Idea was dropped un
til 1947 when returning World War
II veterans provided a real need
ior a vocational school.
The Marine Barracks was offer
ed to the state and both the board
of higher education and the state
board of education were approacnea
to take the site ana estaonsn a
fu-hnni. The b o a t d of higher ed
ucation was not Interested but the
state board was willing to take
the responsibility for establishing
a school at this spot.
The story has been told many
times of the time, money and ef
forts expended by educators,: In
terested citizens and legislators,
the result Is a school to be proud
of. . '. :
Semon brought out the fact that
OTI is the only school of Its kind
west of the Rockies, where, contrary
to what Multnomah county legis
lators say, the costs are less per
finished student than any other
college in the state.
The (State board of education
values the school plant at 64 mil
lion and the 1953-54 appropriation
amounted to approximately 1'4
million. This amount, plus the
money spent by over 600 students
and 45 Instructors, most of whom
are local, residents, Is spent In
our community.
Eemon stressed the fact that the
operation of OTI depends on appro
priation - by legislature every two
years and It Is the duty of ettlaena
of this community to work toward
this goal.
