The staff thinks the selected cov ers are the most beautiful Ash land High has ever had. Aiding Norma in the plan ning of the pages is the co-editor. Sue Thorpe. The money to finance this project is being provided by the businessmen of this city. The staff's busi ness manager, Phil Selby, has really done his part in getting businessmen interested enough in the annual to sponsor it.
