PAGE TWO ROGUE NEWS FRIDAY. APRIL 18. 1952 It Could Happen Here . "Did you know Jan died last night?" Jan! Yea, it was all over school. "She and Mickey were coming back from the movie and he was seeing how fast his Ford would go. The car got out of control and hit the. end of the bridge ..." "Mickey wasn't hurt . . ." Well, you know the rest of the story. One thing leads to another. The list of AHS stu dents who have made the "Justice Court" column in the paper lately is embarrassingly long. A ticket today an accident tomorrow? It could even be a fatal accident tomorrow. When Mr. Parks remarked in assembly that he feared some Ashland student might be involved in a fatal accident, many said, "Pooh, he is just trying to scare us; that wouldn't happen here." But it could. It did two years ago, last year, this year, in other Ore gon schools, even other Southern Oregon high schools and it happened in Ashland High four years ago. What you do not realize, or often think about anyway, is that the pressure of your foot on the gas ROGUE'S GALLERY JOHN HOPKINS Hunting and fishing are the favorite pastimes of this senior boy. John Hopkins was born here in 1934. He is one of the students who has snont all of his pedal or the flick of your wrist on the steering wheel school days in Ashland. Some of his other interests are eating and sleeping. Auto mechanics and wood shop are his favorite subjects. When asked about li!s Ideal girl, John replied that she had to be an intelligent brunette with brown eyes and a nice figure. Oh. horse's ear" and ' deal" are John's favorite expressions. After graduation John plans to goto work for Uncle Sam. in the Air Force.

Another thing that you don't realize is that traffic violations are very bad publicity for the school. Just because some students who dream of being jet aces practice with their cars on the public highway, many townspeople think all high school students are a bunch of senseless speed maniacs. Well, back to Jan and Mickey. You are probably saying, "They don't exist you just made them up to make your editorial sound more convincing." Well, they do exist or Mickey does. Jan was one of my best friends. I saw the accident happen. If you were in Mickey's place, what would you say to Jan's parents, the townspeople and her friends? Quite a question. Slow down a little bit, kids, please, and don't let it happen here. It could In the meantime, if the traf fic cop who has been following you stops you to say that his speedometer has been climbing right up there, don't tear up the ticket and say the old fogey is trying to spoil all your fun. He isn't. He is trying to spoil your funeral. Congratulations, Good Luck ". . . Faculty members and fellow students, I shall now introduce to you my candidate for student body president, John ..." Yes, it's that time of year again, election time! The last six weeks of school are jam-packed with mem orable moments the prom, parties, arrival of the long-awaited "Rogue" annuals, presentation of var ious awards, final exams, and finally, graduation, but ranking right up near the top of the list of important and exciting events are the student body elections, and election of club officers. Being an officer is a big honor, but it is a big job, too. It has been said that the officers make or break an organization. Everyone looks up to the officers, and works no harder than the officers do. Of ficers are important outside of school too, for they are his typewriter so we ail just sit its representatives in other high schools and in many ; there while he tries all the emp- civic affairs. Having the right officers is so important. Every one has a vote in the election of these leaders. But everyone has only one vote, so use it for the candi dates who will take it seriously and really do the job well. We, as seniors, will have no part in the govern ment of the "new" high school to be completed next year, but we feel confident that whoever the students do choose as officers will do their job well and put everything they have into making Ashland High a school to be proud of. "May the best man win" in the coming elections. To the winners Congratulations! and good luck with your new jobs. Jack was born in Medford, Oregon on February 23, 1934. but he has lived in Ashland ever since he started grade school. A typical night for Jack would start with his climbing in his car and trying to get it home. Afterward he drives around town and often ends up down at the bowling alley. Last of all it's homework.

She Jessie Mackie was bom in Los Angeles, California on April 3. 1934. Although Jessie's eyes are brown, they could some times pass for green. Some of her favorites are. purple color, earrings for pierc ed ears, and B & G jumbos.

His pet peeve has to do with this little car also. It seems that when the car won't start well, that's what peeves him most. Whatever this brown-haired, gray-eyed senior boy decides to do after graduation this spring, AHS wishes him the best of luck! Here is another "little gem" rescued from Mrs. Christlieb's i wastepaper basket. Members of her fifth period typing class al- ' ways seem to be having diffi culties this time the main one is timed writes. As nearly as I can determine them, my typing difficulties lie wholey in the timed write. I never have any trouble any other time. To explain this clearly I had better give you an example. At the beginning of each class time, our sweet teacher declares that, "Today, my little cherubs, we will have a timed writs." So we all set about getting ready. Mrs. Christlieb suggests that we try the paragraphs on page 133. (That's just her nice way of de manding.) Teach then says, "Ready?" and about that time Harvey says there is something wrong with ty ones In the room. Finally he finds one that suits him and sits down to start. Mrs. Christlieb says, "Go" and everybody starts. That is, everybody but me. My typewriter decides to triple space rather than double space. This does not make me mad though, as I had my Cheerios this morning. Ah, here we go "Business men and woben " Oh dear, that wasn't a bit nice of you, you naughty old typewriter.

After school Jessie works at Metz's Store. One of her most embarrassing moments occurred just after she had started work ing there. She was under the counter eating candy.
