The praises of this worthy organization are sung by every soldier, sailor, and marine who has served overseas for its help in making the horrors of war a little more bear able. It is not so much the big things that make the difference, but small, seemingly unimportant matters. They receive good, wholesome, if somewhat monoto nous food, but little things like hot coffee and dough nuts served from a clubmobile right in the front lines form a needed link with home. In a sense, they are a form of letter from the folks, because it shows that OLH Spring is sprung and all that sorta stuff. As everyone knows, along with this time of the year comes that twitter-pated look especially in leap year. Maybe I'm wrong (I was once), out unless my eyes are deceiving .ne, Dixie and Gordon are now making the rounds together. There's nothing slow about these juniors (oh?). In case you haven't beard combination work and dance parties are the latest thing in prom decorating. How's that for k.lling two birds with one stone ? Maybe Lorin Bailey and Bob El bart had the right idea when they sent a telegram to Mr. Mirick after the St. Helens' victory re questing that our lucky piece be played louder. We quote, "Play "Colonel Bogey' a little louder. We only won by two points." In spring a young man's fancy turns to love and, incidentally, Johnny, are you and Betty A. go ing steady or is "constantly" the word ? . Tell me, chums, was it the new "platter player" or the excitement of winning the district tourney that was the cause of all that hepness displayed by you jive jar gons at the dance Saturday night ? Norma Lee has definite out of school" interests. I believe his name is Vernon somethln' or other, and he lives in Myrtle Creek. To ask or not to ask, that is the question. The juniors and sen iors are confronted with the usual problem of allowing outsiders to attend the prom. Jimmy S. seems quite concerned about the WACs. You wouldn't hold out on us, would you, Jimmy? J. Delsman's trying ills damest to get Doris SUllman to see things his way. Read the next issue for further developments. It's too bad that some of the pep generated at the assembly and ' dance hettf in honor of our first tournameM victory couldn't have made its appearance a cou ple of days sooner when our Gris zly guys could have heard it. Just to prove that teachers have patience: -. Miss Page What did the lum berjacks contribute to folk liter ature? Basey the Brain Lumber. Why were you so bound and determined to sattend the game at Salem, Wally? How was she? Don't tell me we have another one of those confusing eternal triangles here in school. This time it's Yvonne M., Jay and Puss. Arnita's been seen flashing around with a "good deal." We understand he's an ex-marine and proud wearer of the Purple Heart. Marjie and Eva have a new slant on this locker pin-up deal. A "Minute Man" greets them every time they open their lock er, reminding them to "Buy More Bonds." While we're on the subject of pin-ups: Phebe A. can draw some LJiat make Varga's look sick. ('Nuff said.) Roguish Rambles (Exchange) The pin-up craze has hit Klam ath Union High and has it hit! Students just ain't in the groove unless they plaster their lockers with pictures of all their secret heart-pangs. "Roseroom" is the theme for the Clatskanie- High annual Jun ior Prom to be held on March 25. (Hmmm!! Sounds dreamy!!) A young man had cashed his pay check. As he counted the bills, he wet his finger. The teller said, "Don't you know that what you are doing is dangerous? There are millions of germs on each one of those bills." The man replied, "Oh, don't worry not even a germ could live on my salary." , Umpqua Pow Wow. "Reserve Two-for Murder" is the unusual comedy which the junior class of Astoria High Is preparing for presentation next month. ' A "Buddy System" has been adopted by the Boys' Club of Yreka High a plan to get the newcomers and freshman boys better acquainted with the stu dents and school customs. The Case of the . Missing Goods By Elaine Sutnerlln Two YOUNG men, learning of a mystery on a certain island, set out to solve it. OWEN to the .raveling conditions they sailed to .ueir destination with ART the ilKRRTMAN at the HELM and iUS the STILLMAN at the CAN NON. After passing many buoys jvith their BELLs RINGing they jame to a LANDING among some AEEDs. After CONVERSEing for some ime they decided which RHOADE(a) to follow. So after WALK(er)ing many MILES over -IILL and VAIL and seeing many 3EARE, WOODCOCK, BYRDs int WOLFEs, they came to a town where there were shops of TAY JORa, MILLERs and COOKs and where ART decided FORGUS it would be a good place to sleep and eat. On the MORROW they came to a SHERE bend in the RHOADE uid found the HOME(s) of a BARRON who had just sent his PAGE as a MESSENGER with MOORE NICHOLS to the BROWNE HALL across the GREEN WOODS to the BISHOP who sold GOODS, ,VAN DYKE cigars and SWAN son soap through a BLACK market.

Girls' League Gives Annual Pep Supper "To our Grizzly guys we propose this toast - -They're a team of whom we're proud to boast. They're true to Ashland, to red- and-white. And for her honor, they'll always fight Such remarks as these were the high-lights of the traditional Pep' Supper, sponsored annually by the Girls' league in honor of the bas ketball team, which was held in the senior high gym on Friday, March 10. Dancing, followed by a 'covered dish dinner and special muiscal numbers by Dolores Erwin, Vivian Bostwick ,and Bob Daugherty, was the program for the evening. Gould 9t Be Sptutf?

Do you feel it? I will admit that these few sunny days leading up to spring leave everyone droopey. (You know, that "come what may" look). In the classroom, chairs are beginning to scrape the floor more often, students hem- the people back home care enough about them to pro vide a few comforts along with the necessities. Over there, a little bit goes a long way. When you make your contribution, remember that you are not giving TO an organization. You are giving to our fighting men, THROUGH their "friend away from home", the Red Cross. To the Editor i people are cool, and then they jj, - begin to warm up. The American Here is another angle on th J f&ioa Auliary as one of teen-age club. We, the students of AHS, are giving the opposi tion to the club a powerful argu ment. Time was when we talked about It, discussed lt and thought about lt, and then we did some thing about it. But now, if I paid the school a cent every time I hear the teen-age club mentioned, lt would not cost me a, penny a week. If we are going to drop the subject that quickly, if we had a club, how many days would it be before we forgot that it even existed? First we are all for the club. then we cool off. First the towns- the supporters. One member of this organization had been an im portant factor in getting Klamath Falls to have a teen-age club. She knows how to -start a club. so she would be a valuable person to contact and get her views and suggestions. Also the two speak ers who will be in Ashland on the 19th of March to speak on youth will be worth listening to. We should listen to their suggestions before we are on our own. He: Let's sit this one out. one will be the wiser. She: Oh yea you will. (pronounced Keggy) from Ash land, Oregon." Returning from a morning mis- i on he was forced to stall his plane in order to get one of his wheels down. Later, as he pre pared to take off on the afternoon mission, he was interrupted by a girl and a major, the officer an nouncing the girl wished to kiss him goodbye. Hopping out of his plane he completed his half of the osculation and hurried back to his Job. When he returned, all he could talk about was his strange though wonderful adven ture. . Later, Pyle discovered that the girl was Louise Allbritton of Hollywood, a USO entertainer. Local movie fans and envious friends of Lt. Kaegi will soon get a chance to see "her" AUhritton appears in keep screaming" attitude. It's in the air and we can't help it, even if we wanted to. So we take it, and like lt. To prove my point, let's look into some of the queer go ings on In "this here school." Wandering in the study hall we see all the steadies such as Bar- ! ney and Mouryne, Dick and Shy, Delbert and Emily, Winnie and Pat (oh, I could go on for hours and hours) looking mot struck at each other. Nothing could dis turb them, so we don't even try. The soft strains of "Mairzy Doats" float down the hall and that cute little Eugene Berry comes strutting down the hall as frisky as a hep-cat. He entrances the rest of the junior boys and it goes on for days. Johnnie Reedy is wearing his as Miss heart on his sleeve, and you look "Son of I at Betty Adams and you see it's Edy Barron, Betty De Lisle, Bette Golden, Don Williams, Eric Pow ell and Rose Mary Messenger are on the loose. Guard your life! Wherever you go .there they are. Oh, to be young and carefree! Spring must be gnawing at Gloria Wenner. Something must have edged her on to chop off those blonde curls. But does she worry? We see kids flitting here and there as if they were struck by lightening. Down the halls you hear the refrains of "Have you heard why ?" or "What did ?" But we don't care. We bite! It's spring! We have a slap-happy word for everyone and we don't care about a thing. I wonder, could it be spring !!! Dracula" which is showing at the ' got her too. (Spring, beautiful Lithia Theatre now. j spring!)

It's really a long, hard Rogue News and Annual staffs fight But it sounds like the as well as being yell leader and droning of the bees, so we'll leave a member af the Letterman's club it at that. in his fourth year. The happy-go-lucky crowd of FIENDISH FADS Fads will come and fads will go. For the latest Mouryne is right in the groove with her new pastel plaid jacket that teams up with a light blue skirt k Bright yellow sweaters seem to be sweeping the school, knocking out eyes as they go. Several of our "he-men" are sporting white lettermau sweat ers. Honest '.y, now, don't they look super? We're off the der:p end over Betty Hollingsworth's plaid two piece dress. June Ross and Let a Russell look positively adorable in their white, and red jersey "tops." Mrs. Cook, you seem to go for purple in a big way. Just look at your coat and sweater, to say nothing of the centers in your i flowery gold earrings.
