Vocalist Appears
At Assembly
By BARBARA VAN VLEET
. A rare treat was in store
Monday, January 12, when Na
tional School Assemoiies of
Los Angeles brought Piero,
baritone, to Ashland Senior
High.
Piero had arranged a pro
gram for school, college, and
general audiences which is an
artistic masterpiece. Kecogniz-
ing that an accepted concert
repertoire is somewhat heavy
for usual audiences, he hose
selections that appeal to all age
groups.
Piero is a human fellow who
loves to sing and who warmly
appreciates his friends and au
diences. In other words, he
likes what he is doing, and he
likes the audience for whom
he is doing it. His warmth and
artistry result in a combina
tion that is rarely seen on the
platform.
He has appeared all over the
world Vienna, Berlin, Rio
de Janiero in leading roles
of the world famous operas.
He has a powerful resonant
voice that has been likened to
that of Ezio Pinza, as far as
quality is concerned.
. Whether he is singing a fami
liar aria from "Barber of Se
ville," a folk tune of his Dal
mation homeland, or some
thing from 'the Hit Parade, his
sincereity as well as the melo
dies themselves catch the
hearts of everyone present.
His accompanist, Mr. Hugo
Bryan, has been playing con
certs throughout the United
States for many years. Mr.
Bryant is recognized as a bril
liant pianist who has won
much acclaim for his solo renditions.

Driving Troubles
Good heavens! Don't hit that
tree! Stop! Watch out!
Any one of these statements
and probably many more are
likely to be heard as some
poor, unsuspecting studen
piactically runs into a tele
phone pole, pedestrian,
parked car when he or she is
sitting behind the wheel of th
driver's training car. Do you
call this driving? Honestly
though, you should see some
of the students drive!

Of Dimes
Reverend Earl Downing,
Pastor of the First Christian
Church, spoke for the March

ed the need for contributions
and told what use would be
made of the money.
In his speech Reverend
Downing stressed the'need of
the dimes toward research,
ourselves and others.
Cards were handed out for
dime contributions; so if you
i have an extra dime, turn it in
to the office, because last
year's funds were not nearly
enough to give proper care to
those who were stricken with
polio. So give generously to a
worthy cause, for what you
give is little to what you would
need to receive if you were to
get this terrible disease.
C.A.P. Offers
Flight Training
Wednesday, January 7, the
Civil Air Patrol authorities
from Medford spoke to the stu
dents in assembly. If you are
interested in joining the Civil
Air Patrol and furthering your
education, here is a chance! Ro
land Parks said in assembly
that it would no doubt help
anyone who joined the Air
Force later.
This organization not only
teaches aeronautics, but it
teaches citizenship, sportsman
ship; and, best of all, perhaps,
it offers an excellent educa
.tional program. Here would be
an opportunity to learn about
radio.
Remember! If you are inter
ested in joining this worth
while organization, get in touch
with Mr. Parks right away!

WAYNE SOUTH
On October 24, 1934, in Cass
Lake, Minnesota, Wayne South
was born.
Moving to Ashland while in
the first grade, Wayne has at
tended schools here since.
Wayne was one of Ashland s
best football players. He play
ed on the varsity team all three
years of high school, receiving
a letter each year.

the Lettermen's Club and is

blue eyed, and weigh between
115 and 120 pounds. She, also
has to live in Long Beachf Cali

Bulletin Important
Listen!
xes, wnen tne announce
ments come around, you should
be sure to do that.
Many of the students in Ash- I
land High do not understand
the necessity of the morning
and afternoon bulletin. It is
read for their benefit, but they
do not listen.
It is the only means of com
munication from the office to
the classrooms.
It informs us of what is go
ing to happen that day and in
the future. If we did not have
the bulletin, it would be hard
to contact all of the students
to tell them of club meetings
or hat they had to have their
pictures taken.
Examples of notices that it
contains are, "varsity basket
ball practice tonight will be at
6:30." "Yell leaders meet in
the conference room at 10:30
for 15 minutes. Please be
there."
Next time the bulletin comes
to your classroom, be sure to
listen, and remember that it is i sweaters
for you! Listen carefully! I boys.
Semester
Tragedy
The students of Ashland
High have been developing
purple circles underneath their
eyes and "all over" general
mental fatigue. Study hall is
filled before classes, both
morning and noon. These
symptons can mean but
thing semester tests!
Many students say they are
on the verge of nervous break
downs. Who can bame them?
Each night the lamps burn
late, there is a rush on school
reference books, and many

JANICE CARTER
If you see a Model-A-Ford
with expired license going
down the boulevard, you prob
ably won't be mistaken if you
say, "There goes Janice." Jan
ice Dion Carter was born in
Ashland, May 26, 1935, and is
one of the few Seniors who
attended the full twelve years
of school in Ashland.
Janice's favorite pastime is
living; you notice Janice liv
ing riding horses quite a bit.
When asked what her ideal
boy must be like, she replied,
He must be 6 feet tall, with
red hair, blue eyes, weigh
about 175 pounds, must not
gripe constantly, and must be
easy to get along with."
Janice was the leading lady
in "Green Valley," the play
put on December 4 and 5. Dur
ing her junior year she played
Ma Brown in "Blue Tea Pot"
and, also, Aunt Myra Opal
Dodd in "One Wild Night."
Her most embarrassing mo
ment occurred one summer
when, while wearing shorts,
she happened to bend when
she should have stood up
straight.
Janice plans to attend Maryl
hurst after graduation for at
least a year.

brief mutterings about, "labor

These symptons are preva

weeks in January and May.
Yet, for some reason students
always seem to survive!
FADS AND FASHIONS
Have you noticed lately all
the girls who wear medallions,
as Kathie Hartley, Judy Briggs,
and Barbara Van Veet? How

all the fad!
Some of the fella's that wear
loud shirts and tweed slacks
are John Reynen, Dick Thorn
ton, Dick McNerney, Ken
Rogers, David Stemple, and
Clarence Baker. And the low
slung levis how do you like
them, girls?
The pleated orlon skirts are

ALUMNI TO BE
QUESTIONED
The National Honor Society
is preparing a questionnaire
in letter form to be sent to all
alumni who were Honor So
ciety members.
The inquiry will include
such questions as "What ex
periences have you had in the
fields of schooling and military
training?" "What college did
you attend?" What were your
major subjects?" and "What
occupation do you now have?"
This information will later
be formulated into a directory
so that everyone may know
what has happened to former
classmates.
