And Many Absentees
Are Noted
Thrills and chills mostly
chills have accompanied the re
cent cold snaap that has been
hovering over us. The chilly
breezes and changing tempera
ture has taken a great toll of
the Ashland High ranks through
sickness, severe colds, and ex
cuses. "The water pipes were froxen
and I had to stay home to help
thaw them out." "Dad was sick,
so I had to stay at home and
chop the wood." "The weather
put me down In bed with the
flu." Such sad stories as these
have drifted Into the office all
week from returning students.
At the early part of the week.
28 per cent of the students were
absent. This means that a total
of 74 were out, 33 being boys
and 41, girls.
