A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY
This is the greatest campaign in the history of
the American Red Cross - - for today's need is the
greatest in the history of the world. 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

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

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." ,

"Reserve Two-for Murder" is
the unusual comedy which the
junior class of Astoria High Is
preparing for presentation next

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.

Two YOUNG men, learning of

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.

Do you feel it? I will admit that
these few sunny days leading up
to spring leave everyone droopey.

there, a little bit goes a long way. When you make your
contribution, remember that you are not giving TO an

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.

him goodbye. Hopping out of his

Wandering in the study hall we
see all the steadies such as Bar- !

The soft strains of "Mairzy

have edged her on to chop off

We see kids flitting here and

hear the refrains of "Have you

But we don't care. We bite! It's
