Giving -Key to Happiness
Remember the story of the unhappy prince and
the little swallow? Remember how a little swallow,
flying south for the winter, taught the unhappy
prince, who was really a statue mounted on a high
pedestal in the town square, that happiness came not
from wealth or beauty or fame, but from giving?
Remember how the prince then told the swallow
to pluck all the jewels from his crown and the rubies
from his eyes and all the gold that covered him and
give it to the poor? Remember how townsfolk took
the statue down, since it was no longer beautiful, and
cast it aside in a trash heap, beside the body of the
dead sparrow? And two angels, when sent to earth
to find the two most precious thinsrs in all the world.
returned, bearing the little dead bird, and the lead J f21?? straus
heart of the discarded statue?
The story is a symbol of Christmas and the
Christmas Spirit, which dictates that persons shall
be judged not by the abundance of what they receive
but the willingness with which they give.
RESOLUTIONS A JOKE!
New Year's resolutions are mostly a big joke
nowadays. Every year in the latter part of December
we make a long list of do's and don'ts. Usually by the
end of January the list is forgotten and things go on
the same as always.
Let's see if we can keep our resolutions this
year. Perhaps, with a little thought and effort our
resolutions could really mean something to us.
Here are a few suggestions for New Year's res
olutions: 1. Show more school spirit.
2. Work harder and raise grades.
3. Treat teachers and other students re
spectfully.
4. Take pride in our school.
ONCE A YEAR
WORD ABOUT
Tuberculin Tests . . .
Last Friday, December 3, the
students of Ashland high
school, who had permission,
were called into the conference
room and given TB Tests. Most
of the results were negative,
but those that were positive
were sent to have x-rays at the
county health office to determ
ine the result.

Yell ...
At a meeting of the student
council Thursday, December 9,
it was decided that the seniors
will receive two tootsie pops
each at the next senior class
meeting as the prize for win
ning the competition yell.

The underclassmen who sold
the most tickets for the senior

HEADQUARTER (HAT
BY ROLAND L. PARKS, PRINCIPAL
The administration of the Ashland High School
is extremely anxious to find "on the job training"
work for students in the high school. At present there
are a number of students working part of the school
day and getting their required subjects during the re
mainder of the day. School credit will be given for
pecial skill. These students can be excused at 2:30
jobs on which the student is learning a trade or a
or may be excused until 9:30 in the morning. Also
some excusals can be made the period before and af
ter lunch.
While a small rate of pay is generally received
there are many instances where the pupil will work
for the experience. Examples of jobs, vhere stu
dents can be of service are clerking in grocery stores,
drug stores, clothing stores; working in service sta
tions, garages, electric shops, bakeries, shoe shops,
fruit packing plants, newspaper plants, print shops,
part time secretarial jobs, greenhouse work, carpen
ter helpers and countless industrial jobs.
While the compulsary school law requires that
all students be in school until high school graduation
or upon reaching the age of 18, work experience is
valuable and may be counted the same as other
courses.
Any employer, who would like to have some of
this student help is urged to contact the high school
at 8801 and the proper forms will be filled out and
proper arrangements will be made.
It has been found in many instances that the
student will work himself into a regular valuable
member of the firm. Also it has been found that the
students on the job see the need of their school work
and thereby become better students and school citizens.

There are lots of things that come only once a
year and Christmas is one of those unforgettable
days to which both old and young look forward.
When a day that is a special holiday comes,
there are a lot of traditions that go with that day.
You may, for example, have been accustomed to
delaying the opening of the presents until after the
Christmas dinner. Another tradition that you may
have is to let everyone help decorate the house and
tree. After the opening of the presents do you sit
around with th family and sing Christmas Carols?
Christmas is alive with traditions and as long
as they live, so will the spirit of Christmas live.
