What Shall We Do?
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

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's Your
Opinion?
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.

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

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.
