Book Loan System
Adopted By AHS
ROBINSON INTRODUCES NEW
J-LAN TO STUDENT BODY
To do away with student pur
chases of books, Ashland has
adopted a book loan or rental
system. It was Introduced to the
student body by the new principal,
Mr. Robinson. "
Students may exchange any
three eligible books which they
hjive on hand for credit on their
own book rental. They receive
a $1.00 credit per book. When
they pay their fees, they may ap
ply $3.00 towanf this rental.
Due to the unexpected institu
tion of this system, the students
are going without books because
some students have not turned in j jjjy jaegi

KEYNOTE FOR YEAR
This year cooperation is the aim of the new ad
ministration and the student body. The opportunity
of presenting new ideas and suggestions is yours, as
thy are working for the best interests of the students.
Cooperation between individual students and organi

you need the cooperation of other students, don t over
look the fact that you will be expected to return the
favor later. Both sides must pull together in order to ! treasurer, Keith Bussey. For var

PARKS AND COOK
NEW DEANS v
SOPHOMORE SPEAKS
At last the time has come when we can draw a
deep breath and say, "Well, here we are." Yes, we are
now proud to be a part of the Ashland High Student
Body .even though we are just sophomores. Some time
or other during our years at junior high almost every
one of us has looked forward to this time.
Our first reaction upon entering Ashland High
was to feel very small, insignificant and out of place.
But now, because of the friendly attitude of the upper
classmen, w have been made to feel very much at ease.
As yet, we are not completely familiar with all
the traditions of the school, but we are learning
rapidly. It is our hope that by helping to uphold these
traditions tney may still be a part of Ashland High
after our career here is ended. S. W.

LETS ALL COOPERATE
Perhaps the most desolate and actually fright
ened people the first day of school are the sophomores.
Like all sophomore classes before them, they be
come lost in a maze of stranee corridors: thev fail to' vited to come to her durins
r j ., . , , . . . , , .. I period 1 or 2 in her new office,
"wi eveu luougu wc tiic jubi. supnomores. oome lime located
otner in tneir attempts to reach a class on time.
After the first week, the average soph loses much
of his timidity and becomes a part of the school sys
tem, which proves that the attitude of the upper class
men toward the new students is of a friendly, demo
cratic nature.
But still, there seems to be a feeling of reticence
on the part of the new students. Many promising art
ists, writers, and other capable students fail to put
their abilities to work, for the school organizations.
New students, do your part for AHS! G. T.
Mr. Parks, new dean of boys,
will "be at home'' to any of the
masculine members of the student
body who feel the necessity, of a
man-to-mart talk, in his new office,
formerly the "guidance room."
When interviewed by your ROGUE
NEWS reporter, he said. "We
want to try to help all our boys
get the most out cf school." Be
sides acting as a clearing house
for all boys' activities, Mr. Parka
is in charge of making out tardy
excuses for the boys.
The girls are backed by Mrs.
Cook who, in addition to her dut
ies as dean of girls, teaches typ
ing printing, and chemistry. It is
her duty to handle girls' attend
ance. When interviewed, she said,
"My office is set up for the pur
pose of helping the girls discuss
their problems and work out so
lutions to them."
' She stated that she has avail
able in her office a library ol
books which will help in the solv
ing of problems. All girls are in
formation concerning the follow
ing '
1. How the family is getting
along economically.
2. That the family is doing ev
ery possible to aid the wai
effort.
3. That the family is .anxious
for the boy's return.
4. That the family is "okay and
busy".
(b) Sold:ers like to hear news
about their friends, especially
those in the service. Information
in this category includes:
1. Girls he knows (if they are
single).
2. News about friends at home
3. Changes in social relations
(whom is marrying whom).
4. Past events, places he used
to go and the community's
"night life".
(c) Soldiers like to hear about the
home town such as:
1. General happenings.
2. General gossip.
3. Sports (especially the home
teams). t
4. Present conditions (effect the
war Is having on the home
town, rationing etc.).

EXTENSIVE USE OF
VISUAL AIDS PLANNED
'One picture is .worth 10,000
words." might well be the slogan
of John Koehler, director of the
visual aids in teaching program
which Is to be used extensively in
the Ashland school system thit
year.
This program of visual instruc
tion through motion pictures,
slides, and numerous other means
has previously been introduced in
the Ashland schools but has never
NEW MUSIC AND SHOP
TEACHERS FOR AHS
We have two new men teachers
on the .faculty of Ashland high
Jils year. Tney are Mr. Harry

Mr. i-hillips is our new auto

Ashland from Idaho, where he
was supervisor in industrial arts.
Previously he was director of vo
cational education in Galveston,
Texas.
Mr. Phillips was on our faculty
11 years ago, and at that time
taught six Algebra classes at
Junior high in the morning and
two mechanical drawing and one
physics class at the high , school
in the afternoon. He has always
wanted to return to Ashland to
teach because he enjoys Ashland
people so much. "It's Just like get
ting back home", he says. "
Mr. Ylvisaker has come from
Minnesota to teach in Ashland. He
has brought his wife and children
with him, his children attending
Ashland schools.
Mr. Ylvisaker has brought a
new fight song and many othet
Ideas to improve our hand.
Both teachers have made
friends of the students and hope
pictures available on nearly every
sul jtct; and an en larger and cam

FOOTBALL SUPERSTITIONS
Upon 'being asked, several of
the football boys gave out with
some of their superstitions.
If "Beardless" Waybrant does
n't hang up his pajamas, he can
hold onto a ball. Does he ever
hang them up?
Red stockings on erirls bother
Jimmle Bartett he says they're
bad luck.
Winnie and his "Bell-like" tenor
voice sang out that he likes dirty
sweat socks, especially if he has
played a rood trams in them.
"Flash" Riggs has to have the
coach get in a huddle with the
boys before a game. Hm-m-m,
could be!
"Sourpusa" . Kerr eats a lemon
every night before practice, or a
game, so he can play good ball.
We wondered why his mouth was
always puckered!
Bill Shere must have been
thinking of Klamath when he said
it was bad luck for the coach of
the opposing team to keep coming
out on the field.
- Jack ' "Wolf Newton won't
wear brand new equipment in a
game.
Neil A rant thinks it's bad luck
to change jerseys before a game.
"Never open your mouth while
making a tackle", ' says Ben
"Ipana" Ricks. Oh, is that what
happened to his two front teeth!
(This one seems to be the most
logical) Delbert Landing and
Claude Garrett said that if they
they might get hurt W-e-1-1!
Mr. Simpson doesn't have any
superstitions. Bright! But Mr.
Gastineau says 7 is his lucky cum
ber . , O
The other boys don't haveany
superstitions they care to reveal.
I wonder why!

Some of the equipment pur
