' The Medford school system during the years of its existence has been under the ad- ministration of many boards of education, but it has enjoyed the direction of none that has been more progressive, more business-like, or that has functioned more smoothly and efficiently than the one which directs its destiny at the present time. This board has been faced with the problem of caring for a school system that has grown twenty- five percent in two years. Taking the high school alone the average daily attendance within the past twelve months has increased 111 over that of the same time one year ago. The board has met the situation in a very able manner and has enjoyed the whole hearted support of the community in doing it. -. Probably the outstanding achievements requiring mention are the completion of two units of a thoroughly modern high school at a cost of Y5185,000, a manual arts building, and the establishment of a junior high school.

Quality as well as quantity was found in the class, for it furnished eight of the championship football team and three of the first basketball team. Also two debat- ers were seniors. The honor roll in scholarship was consistently headed by a senior and the general average of the class was high. The same high standard was held in dramatics, for from the two plays pre- sented by the class of '27 in two years, came the leading dramatic talent of the school. The senior play, Nothing But the Truth, was a success, due to the experienced cast and capable coaching. Seniors held the leading parts in the operetta and helped make that a success. Individuals from the class contributed largely toward the success of the Hi-Times and Crater, while the class backed them by standing highest in percentage for buying Hi-Times and student body tickets. Following the lead of the class of '26, the class of '27 adopted the commission form of government this year, in preference to that which had governed it the past three years. This system consists of the chairman of the commission, commissioner of dramatics, commissioner of finance, commissioner of social service, and commis- sioner of school service. This year's officers are: Chairman, Thomas Ball, Dramatics, Martin Adams, Finance, Juanita Demmer, Social Service, Helen Thomas, School Service, Lee Wolfg Advisor, Miss Scott. , Twenty Six
