Headquarters Chat
Th'e other day I got to thinking about a line that
worried me a little. It seems that I am always tell
ing the students and teachers what to do. Many feel
that it is the duty of the principal to always be boss
ing the students and teachers.
I began to think that maybe it would be wise
to enumerate a number of things that I ought to be
doing for the students and the teachers and that I
should feel that I have some 375 bosses, who expect
me to do things for them. I am going to list a few
things that I feel I owe to you people.
1. I must work hard at all times to help clubs,
classes and organizations to get supplies,
new ideas and plans to make them top-notch
performers.
2. I must be able to give teachers and students
satisfactory answers to their many ques
tions and problems.
3. I must be willing to sacrific a lot of "power"
to teachers and students.
4. I must listen to gripes and not get mad but
try to help the griper.
5. I must sell the high school to the townspeo
ple in the best light that is possible.
6 I must read professional books and maga
zines and attend meetings so that I will know
what is the latest thinking on high school
activities and problems.
7. I must treat all students alike whether they
be rich or poor, fat or thin, tall or short and
regardless of religion, nationality, or color.
8. I must be absolutely impartial in levying
punishment, and the same punishment for
the same act must be levied against the stu
dent body president as to the newest sopho
more. 9. I must fight to maintain high moral and
spiritual standards for our school and I must
be fearless in the prosecution of wrong do
ings. 10. I must be quick and ready with praise for
those who do a good job.
Well, you lucky students and teachers. Just
think how it would be if you were principals and had
to follow all of the above-mentioned items. Think
how many gray hairs and sleepless nights you would
have.
P. S. It really isn't bad at all and the many hap
py features of the job keeps a principal in a happy
state most of the time.

Merry Birthday or
Happy Christmas
Jeanne Ebcrhart was born
i Christmas, December 25,

has lived here most of her life.
Asked what she thought about
being born on Christmas she
replied, "I would rather have
my birthday on another day."
Jeanne belongs t o Jobs
Daughters, Coed Hi-Y, G.A.A.,

comes a big problem what to
get that extra-special boy
friend or girlfriend.
But really, it's not so hard
to find a present that someone
will like. Price isn't nearly as
important as most people seem
to think. Imagination, interest,
and care in choosing a gift will
make it seem much more im
portant. .
Why not knit your guy a pair

if you're really ambitious. But

Happy birthday, Jeanne!

Congratulations!
A letter from Prineville,
Oregon, where our last football
game was played, was received
by the Ashland Daily Tidings.
It was printed in the "Mostly
on the Sunny Side" column in
the paper and ran as follows:
"The people at the Ochoco
Inn dining room asked to con
vey appreciation, through the
newspaper, of the thoughtful
and considerate behavior of
Ashland football team and
their supporters at the time
they played their game with
Prineville.
"During the three meals
served, we found we have nev
er served a more polite or
more congenial group,' con
gratulates the management."
Whenever a group from one
school goes to another, that
group's actions more or less re
flect upon the entire school.
The manner in which our stu
dents behaved was highly com
mendable, as stated in the let
ter. I
Don't think for one minute
that people do not appreciate
thoughtfulness like this. They
most certainly do! Hotels mean
just as much to the managers
as do our own homes. It is only
natural for them to appreciate
it when the hotel is left in the
same good condition as it was
when the group arrived. You
wouldn t have a very good
opinion of a guest who left
your home in shambles after
giving him all the hospitality
you could.
So we feel our students
ought to be congratulated for
keeping our good will strong
in Prineville!
Full Name Please
When someone mentions a
name, you automatically think
of that particular person. But
if these kids were called by
their middle or first names,
how many would you know?
"Hey, Seymour, have you
seen Earl?" Eugene Rich
ard Taylor would be asking
John Seymour Reynen if he
had seen James Earl Jeffries.
Glenda Nell Winner and Pat
sy Mae Wells seem to enjoy
each other's company and are
frequently seen with Mary
Louella Morgan, Lillie Pauline
Davis, and Pat Rutherford
Misenhimer.
Here's a dilly! Can you euess
Jerry Mickle's middle name?
Bet you can't. It's Mulcum.
We think the president of
our student body should be
called by his middle name.
What's wrong with Wilbur.
Clyde?
Nicknames are okay at times,
but why all the time? Jeremiah
Ward sounds much nicer than
"Jerry."
Gregg Liningcr and Dick Mc-
Nerney both have Charles for
first names. Speaking of first
names, why don't you go by
yours, Gail Cruson? Francis
doesn t necessarily mean a
talking mule.
If you heard someone call
ing Arlene, Dell, or Lea. that's
Pat Austin, Norma Stephens,
and Sandra Clary, respective
ly. Alden and Moore are nice
middle names. Why don't you
use them, Jason Wilson and
David Stemple?
We found out that Colette
Perrine goes by her middle
name. She said she hated her
first name, threatened this re
porter with her life and said
she would die if we print
cd her first name. Don't you
worry, Colette, I won't tell
them it's Hazel.
Hobbies bring lots of possi
bilities. Hunting, fishing, cook
ing, photography, or sewing
provide any number of gifts.
A kit for sewing or developing
pictures will really be appre
ciated for some "hobby-bug."
A spotlight or some other car
accessory will make a hit with
a boy whose second love is his
car.
Inexpensive jewelry is fine
for either a boy or girl. For
her there are scatter pins', a
bracelet, necklace or some
fancy hair clips; for him cuff
links or a tie clasp.
If there is a record or album
your one-and-only likes but
hasn't bought yet, you have
been handed an opportunity on
a golden platter. If you aren't
sure which record would be
best, you can get a rack to
hold some old favorites or a
traveling record case for trans
porting them to parties and
dances. 1
There are millions of an
swers to the gift giving prob
lem; so just wrack your brain
and be observant. When she
says, "Gee, isn't that cute!" or
"I'm going to buy that one of
these days!" she may be trying
to give you a gentle hint!
Women Drivers
Are Here To Slay
Women drivers seem to be a
very controversial subject.
What do you think of them?
This question was asked of sev
eral Juniors and the comments
were varied. Here are some of
them:
WILMA CALHOUN I
think that a woman driver is
as good as any man driver. At
least they have their minds on
what they are doing, not what
is in the immediate surround
ings!
DICK THORNTON Are
they really driving or are they
jst sitting there for the fun of
t?
SHARON STEWART Ask
the men! They seem to think
they know.
WANDA ODEN If a gal
can wrangle a car away from
man long enough to drive.
she's earned the right!
MORRIS STRINGER As
far as I'm concerned, I won't
let one of them drive nails for
me
SHIRLEY NORBURY Oh!!
I think they're wonderful!
DAVID HOOTS They're
okay if the motor isn't run-
nin g.
TED TENNEY I like wo
men drivers (when I'm ten mi
les away from a road.)
PAT NICHOLSON They
are good if it isn't Laura Mil-
lag behind the wheel.
KATHIE HARTLEY At
least they drive with two
hands most of the time.

Merry Christmas
'Twas the day before Christ
mas at old A.H.S.; not a teach-
was stirring; they were
dreaming of rest. The coats
were all hung in the lockers
with care, in hopes that the
textbooks would replace them
there. The students were nest
led all snug in their classes
while visions nf datps rianrcrt
round them like lasses.
While Judy in her kerchief
and I in my cap had Just sett
tied ourselves for a nice long
chat. When out in the drive
way there arose such a clatter,
we sprang from our chairs to
see what was the matter.
Awav tn tho winHnu uf. flour
lilro n finch ln U rU..
ters, and threw up the sash.
The sun on the breast of the
new fallen snow, cave a luster
of noonday to objects below.
When what to our wonder
ing eyes should appear, but a
little blue Ford and eight little
dears with a little old driver so
jolly and clean; we knew in a
moment it must be Perrine.
More rapid than lightning to
our door they did come. She
whistled and shouted and call
ed them each one. Now Johnie,
Now Bonnie, Now Davie and
Jerry, On Dickie, On Jimmie,
On Terry and Larry! To the
top of the walk, to the top of
the stairs. Now dash away. Go
away.' Stay away, all!
As leaves that before the
wild hurricane fly when they
meet with an obstacle mount
to the sky, so up to her bou
doir Miss C. P. did fly with a
heart full of hope and a gleam
in her eye.
When out on the porch I
heard a big smack, I knew in
a wink Carole Jean and Har
vey were back! As I drew in
my head and was turning
about, there arose from Judy a
blood-curdling shout. She was
covered with dough from her
head to her feet and what she
was cooking we'll let Benny
eat! The dough she had strung.
knee-deep on the floor, and it
looked like a bargain at a 5 b
and 10 cent store.
Her eyes how they twink
led, at the sight she had baked!
Her cheeks were like roses
from all of the heat! Her droll
little mouth was drawn up like
a bow, and the flour on her
face was as white as snow. The
panful of dough she held firm
in her hand. And the smoke
from the oven went round in
a band. She had a long face
at the sight she was baking,
cause it didn't improve with
the pains she was taking. She
was happy and Jdnd, a very
lovely madam, but I laughed
when I saw her in spite of the
lamb.
She sprang to his side as
Benny gave a whistle, and
away they both flew like the
down on a thistle. But I heard
them exclaim as they ran out
of sight.
"Merry Christmas to all and
to all a good night!"
There are million or more
reasons why modern women
dress as they do, and every one
is a man.
