Annual Work
Progressing
If you've seen two people
running around like chickens
with their heads cut off, it was
probably Norma Stephens and
the photographer, Gordon
Schlack. But the staff and Mr.
Schlack have been working
furiously to put out an annual
that will please every student
one way or another. The an
nual is going along right on
schedule, as they have already
.sent in their first 24 pages
The next 24 pages will be sent
in before Christmas vacation.
Our school is not large enough
to make the annual a big one,
but they are trying to put in
pictures of many things done
at school so that they will re
mind everyone of those readin ,
'ritin', and 'rithmetic days. 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. The
artistry that will be seen in the
annual this year is that of Al
Taylor, and Pat Nicholson. The Caudel and Barbara Harris. As-
whole junior class had to dec
orate the gymnasium that
day. They created such places
as the Pashun Pit: the Bar,
where you could drink your
fill of Kick a poo Joy Juice; and
Marryin Sam's headquarters,
where for two-bits you could
get hitched to anyone in the
joint!
Ted Tenney, Marvin Woods,
Morris Stringer, and Dick
Thornton were in charge of
tickets.
Mr. and Mrs. Phil Lindley,
Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Johnson,
and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Tay
lor were chaperones.
distant business manager is
Marvin Woods, and sports man
ager is Jim Jeffries. Over-all
supervision is the task of Mrs.
Gladys Banks, advisor.
Norma, on behalf of the an
nual staff, would like to thank
the students for their fine co
operation.
