The Medford public schools
opened this week with a good
attendance from this district.
Among those scheduled or all
ready attending advance centers
of education are Miss Veronica
Lanier, Gordon College: McDon-
aid and Wally Kountze, at 9os-
ton University; Miss lone Dug
ger, U. of Chicago; and Miss
Janice Roberts, st. Elizabeth

The beginning of the autumn
season also signals the start of
new season for the Shiloh
Mems Bowling Team which will
enter it's fourth year of organ
lied and prize competition in
the rather historic old Medford
Protestant Church Bowling
League. Captained by Walter
Tucker for the second time,
Shiloh since 1850, has had three
captains, the others being Roger
Lightfoot and Bob Furey. And
from a rocky beginning three
years ago, the Shiloh Team has
moved steadily upward. Shiloh
finished third in its League di-
vision Hast year. And Walt Is
sacs, one of the charter members
and organizers of the Shiloh
Team, discloses that the local
women's bowling league will re-
sumo operation shortly. SO 1t
looks like a pretty interesting
indoor fall-winter season and
it may be that Shiloh may have
a Teenage Bowling club, too.
Then there is the Shiloh basket
ball season, always plenty of
action.
The Community Center activi-
ty was added to in recent days
by a series of parties held in
honor of local teenage boys and
