Names of 1500 students have

Scholars by the State Scho­
larship
Commission.
The
students earning this honor are

in Oregon on the basis of their
outstanding academic achieve­
ment, it was explained by Tom
Scanlon, chairman of the Com­
mission.
Scott
Engstrom, Sharlene

PLANS ANNOUNCED
FOR REALTY WEEK
because Realtors believe in
emphasizing the positive as­
pects of America and because
this year provides an excellent
time to invest in property, "Call
Your Realtor. . He Sells Ame­
rica First--Everyday,’’ is the
theme for the 1972 observance
of Realtor Week which begins
today, Realtor John Vincent,
president of the MalheurCounty
Board of Realtors, announced.
"We have heard enough of the
cynicism and unfounded com­
plaints about America and our
free enterprise system,” Real­
tor Vincent said. "We have read
and listened to a variety of vocal
people, many with questionable
motives, condemning the way
of life which has given us the
most prosperous, the most en­
vied, the most powerful nation
in history, with a maximum of
freedom for every citizen. It’s
time to sell America first in
every philosophical and social
discussion.
“In addition, most economic
predictions say that 1972 will
be a period when economic fac­
tors stabilize. We foresee a
banner year for anyone buying,
selling, or investing in real
property,” Vincent said.

Average grade point of those

chosen as Oregon Scholars was
selected from the 1972 gra­
duating classes of Oregon high
schools totaling approximately
35,000.
Each recipient will be pre­
sented with an Oregon Scholar
certificate by the Commission.
In addition, Governor McCall
and School Superintendent Par­
nell will send letters of tri­
bute to the Oregon Scholars of
each high school. Most high
schools also will incorporate
Oregon Scholar awards presen­
tations into their graduation
ceremonies.
