Shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday, the senior class assembled in the library and was addressed by Mr. Charles Carlson. Mr. Carlson spoke briefly about the change in arrangement over last year's vis itation situation. This year the various school representatives met with interested students in dif ferent classrooms rather than in assigned sections of the library. Mr. Carlson then introduced Mr. Francis B. Nickerson, the execu tive secretary of High School-College Relations Committee. Mr. Nickerson spoke to the students for nearly an hour on present day employment problems, the very high rate of unemployment, ma chinery, and its effect upon the unskilled and the fear of a pos sible depression. He also stated that we live in an era of recession. Secondly, he told the students what to expect from a college or university and what it expects from a student. He related how imperative education is today and how much work to expect to com plete this education. Mr. Nickerson said that a student must expect to spend approximately 45 hours a week in study to remain in school and 15 to 18 hours in classes. According to Mr. Nickerson, you must be mentally mature in order to be successful in college: you must prepare for college by learn ing to study correctly as nine out of 10 failures are for this reason. The representatives who visited KUHS were Dr. Alvin Fellers of the Southern Oregon College, Dr. John Powell, physics professor; and Dr. Ray Hawk of the Univer sity of Oregon and Dr. Tom Orde man of Oregon State College. Oregon Technical Institute was represented by Registrar Howard Rowe. Virginia Kempston, dean of women and Frank Stanko, assistant dean of men. Miss Guhli Olson talked to the girls on a nursing career. 1 1 mmmmmmmtmmmmmmlmmmmmmwimmmmm , f f - , f .V '-. r . f ' - - ' f tt. f DILIGENCE PAYS OFF in high school and it is paying es pecially high for the two seniors who are chosen valedictor ian and salutatorian.
