Morse, of the state department of vocational edu- cation, Mrs. Van Loan, of the Eugene vocational school, and Miss Virginia Hales of Southern Oregon college of education. Conferences like this one have given Medford a reputation for presenting the best senior conferences in the state. Seniors who wish a higher education may apply for scholarships. ln the past years, Medford high boys have won scholarships in two of the outstand- ing eastern universities, Yale and Harvard. The awards are offered every year to Medford seniors and stand as a worthy achievement for those who win them or any others offered by colleges or uni- versities. Among the big events of the senior year is the annual junior-senior prom, given for the seniors 0 Our graduating class, although the smallest for many years, has been consistently outstanding in school activities. lts progressiveness reflects credit on all its members. This has been largely accom- plished through the generous coooperation of our advisers, Miss Sue Moshberger and Mr. Ed Kirtley. The old saying, Never give in and you'lI not be defeated, is more than so many words. lts entire meaning would be a good thing to keep in mind when we step out into a discouraged world and start to build our future. Let us set worthy aims, and through never-ending determination, see them realized. Some of us will attain far higher goals than are now anticipated, either in this community or else- an iunnev co 5 'o su: Mosrissizcziz MAY, l94l by the juniors. This prom, the only formal dance of the year, is for juniors and seniors, except when an underclassman is invited by someone from either of the two upper classes. The prom queen is elected by the juniors from a group of senior girls and her princesses are selected by the junior class. At an impressive and colorful coronation, the queen is revealed and then reigns at the dance. The great moment of every student's school life is commencement and this year Medford high will graduate around l8O students. This year as before, the discussion of caps and' gowns versus formals was heatedly argued, but the final vote showed that the traditional use of formals would be fol- lowed. Other end-of-school highlights include teas and a variety of social affairs. where. ln any case, we must be aware of how im- portant it is, particularly during this critical time, that we be assets to society wherever we are and whatever we do. The privileges we have enjoyed here at Medford high should not be forgotten or over- looked. It is here that many of our finest ideals and much of our background have been nourished and developed. Performing my duties as senior president has been an altogether pleasant and profitable ex- perience for me and l wish to thank all of you who have helped make it so. My best wishes and grati- tude go to all of you. BOB TAYLOR LELAND MENTZER Anvistn COUNSELOR X: .J-F
