Parks To Serve as Jr. High Principal
Among those who will be missed by AHS students next year
is Roland L. Parks, assistant principal at Ashland HI for the. past two
years. Being a favorite with every member of
the student body and one who was always
willing to cooperate in student activites, Mr.
Parks has been chosen for the princlpalship
of Ashland Junior High.
A graduate of Ashland High in 1926, he
likewise graduated form SOCE and acquired
his B. S. degree at the University of Oregon.
He taught at Malin and Sprague River for
11 years and then was selected to teach at
Ashland where he has been assistant princi
pal and dean of boys.
He has been adviser of the last two
junior classes, doing more than his share
of work in the all-important prom, and his
guidance material and counselling have
proved very helpful. His comical antics at assemlles, parties, and
around the halls will be missed a lot by the students of AHS next
year.
