With conditions as they are nowadays, the lead ing problem high school students face is, "What can the future hold?" Some feel they have been thrust into an age which holds little hope for them ... so why plan .' This is really a haphazard excuse, for who can predict a permanent emergency for our country: Maybe there will be no break in a career for you. Some use the Korea situation as an excuse ; oth ers, the state that this country is in; but the facts are that the country or the world won't become any better unless the coming generations work to make them better. Teenagers, girls and boys alike, could plan and save for college. High school is a necessity nowadays, and college diplomas are taking the place of high school diplomas every day. Every person should develop mentally and emo tionally for ability to secure and keep a job. Much can be done in high school. More can be acquired through working experience. The war may halt your higher education for three or four years, but many men are realizing, after their stretch in the service, that a higher form of education will aid in making money to support their families. Plan for a better future! Officials Are Human The Ashland-Crater High j game, played Saturday, Jan- j uary 3, was a wonderful game, with Ashland winning by a large margin. But how was the sportsmanship of the fans? Would it bring the school ac claim? Some of the Ashland high tans should feel rather asham ed of themselves after their noisy display of bad sports manship towards the officials by booing. You can just about depend on those who are boo ing to be of the noisy type, with absolutely no regard for the feelings of others and how this might affect them. It's hard to do, but just put yourself in the place of the officials. Sometimes you don't think their decisions are right. but there are probably a few things they know about the game that you don't. You're COLORFUL NICKNAMES After inquiring around school, this reporter learned the niekntmes of many students. Glen Ingle is sometimes call ed "Maud," for some reason. Must be something behind that, huh, Glen? Wonder why Ted Tenney is called "Hatchet"? There must be a reason for tiat too. If you hear sc meone speak of "Smilie," that's Barbara Harris, and Shirlene Folks is usually addressed as "Shape less." That's okay, we can't all look like you do, Shirlene! If you hear someone shout, "Hey Plow Nose," don't turn around because they aren't talking to you, "Plow Nose" is Jim Watrus. Shirley MacDougall and Dick McNerney are called "Mac" because of their last names, and Jim Jeffries is just called "Jeff." When somebody yells "Bear cat," don't think you're being chased by one someone is just calling Clarence Baker or Jer ry Ward. 'Smitty is a common nick name for the Smiths and Jim my Smith isn't known by any thing except Smitty. "Thespian, applies to none other than Bill Bates. Now that's odd, isn't it? He must be long to Girls League for that name. Bob Delsman is known to most students as "Stud," and Gregg Lininger is "Bun Rab bit." "Pancho," doesn't mean the Cisco Kid's pal, but refers to Glenda Winner. Jimmy Hall and Judy Briggs also have cute nicknames Give Me Time! Give me one more hour and I'd sleep," say most of the students when asked what they would do if they had one more hour in the day to do what they pleased, making it twenty- five instead of twenty-four. Some students have a better :dea, it seems. Glenda Winner says: "Boy!!" The reporter wondered what she meant. Norma Stephens says: "It would help having that twenty-fifth hour in working on the Yearbook." Ida Smith would want to be with Jim that extra hour. Dave Herburger says: "I'd go petticoat chasing." Pat Misenhimer and Mary Lou Morgan said they would go to the Big-Y and buy 8 cream puffs. Jason Wilson: "Girls would suffer!" Chuck Bonds: "I'd get an earlier start." Judy Briggs: 'It's a secret, but Bennie might have some thing to do with it." Donna Dunkenson: "I'd have another hour with Stuie." On Record Hear Fads To start the disks spinning, we have the unique combina tion of Marlene Dietrich and Rosemary Clooney on Colum bia, singing in a style all their own, "Too Old to Cut the Mus tard." Rosemary has also team ed up with Harry James to bring you a sensational new waxing of "The Continental." One of the latest platters t.. ; i.njj j t j . styled by the Mills Brothers is Jimmy is Buddy and Judy is i,. ruuiwnrm" n June Ritchson has the only sensible nickname of the bunch that of just plain Junie." body is perfect. These officials are only doing their duty and doing it in the fairest way pos sible. Referees are chosen from a neutral town, and they don't care which team wins. They aren't prejudiced. With a fast- moving basketball game, they are kept plenty busy as it is. Naturally, there are a few things they don't see; it isn't their fault. But, there are very few indeed!" Someone yells, "how much did their team pay you?" or "Why don t 'you get a pair of glasses''" to the officials. How would you feel if someone said that to you when you were do ing your best? Sure, we all get "steamed up" and get mad sometimes, but let's just keep it to ourselves and remember, they're doing the best they can and should be. congratulated not always right, are you? No- on the fine job they do!"

What do you think of se mester tests? Most of the stu dents at A. H. S. have the same opinion they don't like them! Here are some of their opin ions. Barbara Van Vleet I hate 'em. Laura Millage I could do just as well without them. Jerry Mickle Ridiculous. Bruce Hamilton I'd rather not. Mary Jo Barrows Censored. Ten Tenney They're awful. Jimmy Hall Terrible. Walt McCoy, Colette Per- rine, Anne Colley, and jonnie Johnson seem to think alike They say, "They're for the birds." Gregg Lininger I guess they are. Mary Jean Davis They're lovely. Joan Day-Anderson There are too many, of them. Marvin Woods I don't think. OH, OH, NOW HEY TELL ME- The Glowworm" on Decca Label. Two top sellers have been released by Columbia. Frankie Laine vocalizes "All of Me,' witi another oldie on the other side, "South rff the Border." The second is "Jambalaya," sun,? by the popular songstress, Jo btafford You Said It! What Would We Learn? Wonder what would happen if some Hollywood screen stars took the various teachers' classes for a day; so the teach ers could get a vacation? They never get a vacation; so let's see whom we'd have for teach ers. First, we'll need a principal. How about Jerry Lewis to take Mr. Park's place? Well, all's fine but what about Dean Martin? As long as he's a good singer, we'll let him take Mr. Windt's place. Mr. Green needs a substitute to worry about overdue books for awhile, someone big and strong who could sit on the kids who didn't bring their books in. Would Marilyn Mon roe do? Bob Hope ought to make a good shorthand, office practice and steno teacher. Mrs. Chrift lieb would love that. Then, if Bing Crosby took Miss Her shey's place, things would real ly pop! Mickey Rooney is suggested to fill Mrs. Taylor's place as home ec teacher. Now, he wouldn't look too out of place bending over a hot .stove. Spanish classes could be un der the direction of Betty Gra- ble, and maybe we could per suade Clifton Webb to substi tute for Mr. Mallory as band teacher. Mr. Lewis, if it's all right with your classes of social econ and debate, Jane Russell will fill in for you. Esther Williams could teach Mr. Rossi's gym classes, and Tarzan could substitute for Miss George. Or do we have that backwards? Bud Abbott could take Mel Johnson's classes, and Lou Costello would be good as Mr. Crisp's standin. Lee Johnson's and Mr. Lind ley's classes could be handled by Clark Gable and Gregory Peck. Maybe if we tried real hard, we could get Edgar G. Robin son to take Mrs. Banks' Eng lish classes while June Allyson substituted for Miss Grubbs. Let's see now oh my! We left out Mr. Allison. Why, of course Bonzo, the chimpan zee, would make a wonderful teacher. But the students wouldn't have much of a change there, though. So per haps Mr. Allison would consent to stay here, and maybe assist Mr. Green's substitute. Well, there you are. But the question arises, "what would Most everybody has a favor ite saying, either slang or oth erwise. Here are a few that you hear around Ashland High: Barbara Van Vleet is always saying "deely," as that was a "deely" dinner. "Sun of a gun" will be heard from Sara Jami son. When it is believed to be the last straw with (Poppy) Nancy Graber, she saysi Tv,av ,r tn fudi;e. If you hear a loud .'. ,,:,. 'hey," it will probably be Tad l0" v Barbara Wray M ary Jean Da v i s Mary Jean Davis Maxine Champion Ramona Mitchell A lunatic was painting the ceiling atop a tall ladder. A fellow nut called up to him, "Hey, Smith. Have you a good hold on that brush?" "Sure thing," the first an swered. "Good, I'm taking the ladder!" Ken Daily: "How long can a person live without brains? '' Pat Keene: "I don t know. How old are you?" Doctor: "You certainly have acute appendicitis." Kay Hess: "Oh, doctor. You flatter me." Every once in a while some ne picks out some odd word and asks students a question about it. In this case, the word was pele, and the question was, If you saw a pele what would you do?" Ken Dailey "I d probably try to ride it." Nancy Dunkeson I d make a pass at it." Gail Cruson 'Is it some thing to eat?" Cleo Linton "I d cage it be fore it could harm me." Walt McCoy "I'd probably just look at it." Pat Wells "I'd embrace it.' June Ritchson "Run the other way." Evatt:. Here's an odd one "oob goob" said by Johnie John son. Jean Eberhart says fun gus" when she is disgusted. "Honiefeathers" comes often from Ramona Mitchell. When something is scrumptious Ann Colley will say it is "really neat"; then Ida Smith says in telligently, "I'll tell you." After winning a ball game or some other great happening, Gregg: Lininger can be heard saying, "Oh, goodie!" Barbara Bugbee is often excited when out bursts "Good heavens!" Sylvia Smith's most dramatic and studious words are "toodie fruidie" or "Ach! crumb." Speaking of dramatic say ings, Betty Brenner has it when she calls out "dad burn it" then Joyce Baldwin comes along with "down yonder." Some of the slang and oth erwise was not printed. Colette Perrine "Scream."' Joar. Woods "I'd run." Shirlene Folks "Carry it." Shirley McDougall "Just watch it." Mrs. Christleib "I'd ask it what it is." Miss George "Sit on it." Just in case you'd like to know what a pele is, it's a "bald-leaded man," in French. you pay to your teacher!
