What Do You Think?
What are some of the characteristics pupils like
in teachers? Several students here at school were
asked that question. The answer that seems to head
the list as the choice of most students is friendliness.
"It makes you feel good when your teachers are
friendly towards you," says one student. This re
porter asked the student what he meant by friend
liness on the part of the teacher. "Like when you're
walking down the hall," he said. "Some teachers will
speak to you even if you're not in any of their
classes. Sure, teachers have lots of things on their
minds, but the friendly ones always say hi to you."
"I like one who gives good advice and has a
sympathetic ear," said another student. "You can
just take your problems to them and they can see
your side of things, too. It gives you confidence in
yourself if they will listen to you."
Another characteristics students admire in a
teacher is the ability to get along with everyone and
not "play favorites."
One senior boy said, "I like one I can confide in
without their telling other students or talking about
me to the other kids."
There were many and varied answers to this
question.
The students must realize, however, that teach
ers are human too, and if you treat them with respect,
more than likely you'll find them good friends be
sides teachers.

Be Careful!
Got a Knack for
Losing Things!
By BARBARA VAN VLEET
"You'd lose your head if it
weren't attached." How often
have you heard someone state
that? The truth is, some people
would! And those people are
the ones who lose everything,
and now and then you hear
them wail, "I've simply looked
an over school and I can't find
it."
We hate to disillusion vou
people; so we'll break it "real
gentle like."
In the office, right under
your square little noses, there
is a drawer. Now, on that draw
er is a piece of white adhesive
tape upon which is written, not
in Spanish, not in Latin, not in
Italian, but good old plain Eng
lish "Lost and Found."
If you, of late, have lost
some little article such as a
shaving kit or a pair of eirl's
shorts, you'll find them in the ' Darlene Pruitt ....

This month many people were either sick in bed
or not feeling well. Most people who have had the
flu feel down in the dumps and just naturally louzy.
Why don't you, as an individual, try to help
prevent the flu from taking any more in its toll.
When you have a bad cold, either stay home or try
to keep from breathing or coughing in other people's
faces, anyway. Don't cough or sneeze without cover
ing your nose. Don't leave your dirty paper handker
chiefs lying around where others can come in con
tact with them. Don't let other people eat or drink
after you when you are the carrier of germs.
Try some of these precautionary measures, and
maybe you won't catch so many colds and be so sick, .you've lost something, go on

Nine Came Home
From that title, you no doubt wondered what it's
going to tie in with. Let us relieve your minds.
The senior class, under the power of President
Gregg Lininger, chartered a bus for the Medford
Ashland basketball game on Saturday, the night of
the fourteenth. The class paid for it out of the senior
class funds, and it was to be for the exclusive use of
the seniors. All of the previous attempts at charter
ing a bus had failed because of the lack of student
interest and school spirit. But with this new idea,
they thought the problem would be solved if they
would not charge anything for the seniors to take
the bus. Sophomores and juniors were to pay 25 cents
if they wanted to go.
On a bus where there was room for 45 students,
there were exactly 9. There were 6 seniors, 2 lower
classmen and the chaperone.
We realize that, with present times as they are,
students have cars of their own, but that certainly
shouldn't affect the school spirit.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
If so, what? Everything possible has been tried, and
each time ended in failure. But with more student
co-operation we can build our school spirit, and it is
our duty to try to do so!

Murder In The B
Dungeon . . .
By JANICE CARTER
The halls in the lower flour
of the building were dark and
musty. Down at the far end
there was the annoying sound
of dripping water, and the
smell of strange chemicals hung
like a deadly omen in the air.
In a room above. Herb Lew
is, economics teacher, finished
correcting a stack of papers.
He rose, put on his coat and
hat; with one last, glance at
the room he turned off the
light and locked the door.
There were shadows caused
by moonlight lacing the hall as
he walked along. lie paused by
the stairs when he heard the
dripping of water below.
"Some fellow left the wt.tor
running," he said to himself
and the moonlight. Then he
started down the stairs into the
murky darkness below. He did
not notice the figure that lurk
ed near the bottom.
He fumbled for the light
switch; it only clicked dully.
"We'll have to call the clec
jtrician tomorrow and get this
fixed," he thought,
j He walked carefully, feeling
the way ahead, while a misty
shadow followed close behind.
Herb stopped when a drop of
water fell on his head. He
glanced up; another drop fell
in his eye.
"Hmmm. ... I guess I can't
fix . . . "
At that moment the kilier
sprang. There were sounds of a
brief, violent struggle, a moan,
the echo of a soft thud, then
running feet, a window oiencd
and closed.
All was silent, as before, ex
cept the smell of death lingered
in the halls, also.
