GET ON YOUR SOAPBOX
ELECTIONS ARE COMING
As more of the responsibilities of school govern
ment are delegated to student officials elected by the
ASB, more care must be exercised by the voters in
choosing these officers. Besides having the respect
and admiration of all members of the Student Associa
tion, a boy or a girl chosen for an executive position
must be willing to cooperate with, and enjoy working
with, the administration. Qualities desirable in the
presiding officer include the ability to get things done
efficiently with the least possible confusion; the talent
for thinking on one's feet, speaking clearly and feel
ing at ease before & group, while commanding the
attention of the listeners, and an aptitade for acting
quickly and decisively- Other positions demand much
the same qualifications leadership, ability to think
, clearly, and a keen interest in school activities.
Only a few can be officers, but everyone can par
ticipate in student affairs and do his part in making
student government a success by voting for the most
capable officers and then cooperating with them to
make their term of office a success. If our school is
to be a democracy, its citizens must uphold its prin
ciples and carry the responsibilities necessary to that
type of government.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Too much cannot be said about the fine spirit of
cooperation shown by the other schools in the confer
ence during the tough time when the Grizzlies were
fighting for the state basketball championship, and
the warm congratulations sent as soon as the title was
won. The letters and telegrams which poured in at
this time were fully appreciated by the coach, the
team, and the students of Ashland Hi.
Salzedo Group
Pleases Audience
If Mr. Parka campaigns for a
course in the study of the flute
and Mr. Koehler advertises harp
lessons, we won't be at all sur
prised. Blame it all on their at
tending the recent concert of the
Salzedo Ensemble in Medford.
Mr. Koehler was bitterly disa
ppointed. He watched a young
lady going into the auditorium
with her bull fiddle slung over
her shoulder, so he thought it
was gqing to be a burlesque show.
The bull fiddle turned out to be
a cello and Mr. Koehlei was hor
rified to discover he was in for
an evening of chamber music. He
felt better when the slick chick in
the white and silver reet pleats
tootled her flute in his direction.
Mr. Parks looked bewildered all
through Schubert, Ravel, and De
bussy. He brightened up consider
ably when he thought he heard a
tune he knew. Just for him the

With only a few weeks until
the closing of school and gradua
tion, many of the AHS 17 year
olds are making plans to enter a
service of their own choice instead
of waiting' to be called. Among
those are the boys who took the
Navy V-12 test recently and the
eleven seniors mentioned in earl
ier issues who have qualified as
members of the Air Corps Enlist
ed Reserve.
Edy Barron and Henry Bussey
are the only two who have be;n
notified that they passed the V-12
test, although there is a strong
possibility that others will hear
in the near future. Both boys
are members of the senior class
and hope to become deck officers
upon completion of their training.

LETTEB TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I wonder how many students
have ever considered nominating
a girl for student body president?
They are as capable and In
many cases have mora time than
the popular boy whose time la

Shouldn't this be taken into con
sideration when you pick your
candidate for next year? Let's be
sure to pick someone, who la
capable of filling the office and
not someone who is good only
in sports or who la your best
friend. If a girl Instead of
boy qualifies beat, lei's have
