Does This Mean You?
Did you ever notice how some people disrespect
school property? During the summer months, part of
the building and some equipment were repainted,
desks were sanded and varnished, windows washed,
floors refinished, and numerous other duties per
formed to brighten up the entire high school build
ing. A lot of work, worry, and expense was put into
the building where a great percentage of our time
will be spent for the next eight months.
Students should refrain from marking on the
throwing paper on the floor and on the campus; and
other small but destructive acts. If all will cooperate
to keep Ashland High School clean looking and well
kept, everyone will be proud to be members of the
student body.
It's Up To You
If you were called upon to get up in front of the
assembly to lead a yell, how would you do it? Just
stop and think about it for a minute. You might say,
"Oh, that would be easy," or "Well, the yell leaders
have had a lot of practice and I haven't ; of course I
couldn't do it."
Did you ever stop to think about the work that
goes into the learning and leading of a yell? How
about all those twists and turns? Do you think you
could do them right with the others so that you would
have perfect timing?
If you think yell leading is easy, just consider it
a bit. Be a little thoughtful of the kids who lead them.
A lot of work, practice, and time have been put into
every yell. The least we can do is to appreciate it and
give our yell leaders our whole hearted support. If
that person next to you isn't yelling, prod him a lit
tle ; he's probably afraid to open his mouth for fear
someone will give him a dirty look. Don't you feel
more like yelling if the other kids are? Sure you do!
It also makes the yell leaders feel a bit silly when no
body yells for them.
Your support at the games is most important. If
our boys can hear you yelling, it gives them more in
centive to "get in there and fight! Let s all go to the
games and show our best school spirit!
Headquarters Chat
Welcome back to A.H.S. Most of us are glad to see
school end in the spring; then along about the middle
of August we begin to get the urge to come back to
school. There is something about getting back with
the gang and away from the hard work of summer
that makes school a most welcome place to go.
Most students and teachers like school and are
anxious to get the advantages offered by our public
schools. We know that the student without a high
school education will have to take the crumbs as far
as good jobs are concerned. The student without a
high school education finds the door to good employ
ment closed in his face in thousands of instances.
It is a natural thing for people to seek learning
and personal advancement. When a person turns his
back to education he is not doing what a normal in
dividual does. It is natural to wish to succeed and
make a good record that will be worth a great deal
to us in the future. It is not natural to be disinterest
ed in success and not to have a desire for a good record.
The principal's office and the faculty have felt
that since school started this year we have an excel
lent and above average student body. We have few
er troublemakers and more good workers than we
have had in many years. Everywhere about us w e
see good work whether it be in athletics, journalism,
debate, clubs, cheerleading or school work. The stu
dents, who are shining in these activities are to be
commended. If you are not in any activity, join up. It
is more fun to belong than to stay on the sideline.
The opportunity is there; reach out and grasp it.
If you have any problem about your personal
life or your school work, the offices of the principal,
deans and teachers are always open and marked
"Welcome." We wish to help you in your striving for
success.
