TRAPllTllOMii
To help the sophomores and!
new students become active in I
school, the Girls' League Council,
suggested that something be done
to inform them of the traditions
of AHS.
Most obvious, sophomores, is
that the lockers in the main hall
belong to the seniors. So please,
if you want to keep on the good
side of the upperclassmen, keep
your possessions away from their
lockers. Seniors also enjoy the
most prominent seats at asaenv
blies.
When you were in Junior high,
you were forbiden to play or sit
on the lawn; in high school this
is permissible as long as you take
care of it. Being able to sit or
play on the lawn doesn't me.ui
that you should walk across it
Use the sidewalks!

and new teachers at the "Big-Lit-'
tie Sister Party," sponsored by
the Girls' League and the "Boys'
Bust," planned by the Boys'
League. This always proves to ba
one of the most enjoyable parts
of your high school activities, so
plan to attend.
Each year the Girls' League
i,ives a tea for their mothers
This takes place In the spring
just before Mothers' Day for the
purpose of creating a better un
derstanding between girls, moth
ers and wimen teachers.
Like most schools, Ashland high
school has a junior-senior prom.
Tnis is the only formal dance oi
the year. The juniors work fot

A more recent event added to
the activities is Campus Day. On
this day everyone wear bis work
clothes and comes to school pre
pared to work. By this time the
school is in need of cleaning, so
everyone pitches in and lends a
hand.
Plays given by the school are
the aniversary play and the sen
ior play. Anyone in the student
body may try out for parts in the
anniversary play, but the senior
play is for seniors only.
The crowning event of the year
for the seniors is senior week,
which Includes such activities a
a hay-ride, an overnight hike, hick
day, and the Junior-senior picnic.
Seniors anticipate this week with
much enthusiasm.

OFF TO THE TOMATO PATCH
By Mary Corthell
There la a desperate need for
tomato pickers; so desperate, in
fact, that students hUve been ex
cused from school to pick,
Ou boy, that's a pushover, sez
you, to get out of school to pick
few measley tomatoes. You
breeze blithely into the office and
tell them that you woud like to
pick tomatoes. Wonderful, they
say, be down at the cannery at
7:45 sharp.
The next morning the alarm
goes off promptly at 6:30. You
get up with most of the wind
taken out of your sails but feel
ing very patriotic. When you get
to the cannery, you are crowded
into the back of a pickup with a
dozen other kids and twice as
, buckets and climb out of the nick-
up feeling very shaVen. The boss
then goes about showing you how
to pull the tomatoes off the vine.
You start out with the feeling
that you are going to beat any
body and everybody, but after
two hours of steady picking, your
ambitions have undergone a slight
change. You also seem to have
an uncanny ability to stick your
ftng'er into the only rotton toma
to on the vine, which doesn't help
your morale any. Ah well, you
think, at leaBt you aren't in
school, which is small comfort
with a godd three-quarters of the
patch staring you in the face.
After what seems au eternity,
one of the teachers f,ets hungry
and you go eat. Your face fails
when you see a big fat juicy to
mato letting .at yju from the
depths of your lunch box. Oh
well, such is life. After you have
finished eating, and have fiddled
around 'till it looks suspicious,
you trudge back to the boundless
tomato patch. You think wistfully
of school and of the lucky kids
there. You mentally kick your
self for thinking such unpatriotic
thoughts and go to work again.
As it nears quitting time, you
look at your watch on an average
of every three minutes. When
they finally say it's time to quit
you feel so elated that you feel
like running, but your sore
muscles have very different ideas;
so you walk stiffly back to the
pickup and pile in, nerving your
self for the trip home. You reach
home feeling and looking like the
morning after the night before.
The next day in school you
know why no one raises his hand
when, the call for tomato pickers
is repeated. As for you, you .set
tle resignedly to doing your Eng
lish. COME IN AND LOOK
