PAGE TWO ROGUE HEWS FRL. APRIL 29. 1955 HEADQUARTERS CHAT During the past month you have just witnessed an event that is a characteristic of the American way of life. You have nominated, campaigned for and elect ed the candidates to head your student body this com ing year. You voted by secret ballot and your name was not on the ballot so that you could be criticized for the way you voted. These candidates are your servants, not you masters. If they do not do the very best job possible they will be heavily criticized and possibly forced out of office. They will listen to your suggestions and will attempt to do what you wish to have done. There are approximately two-tlvrds of the peo ple in the world who do not enjoy such a system. The rulers in these countries are the masters and the peo ple are the servants. If they disagree they are im prisoned and all of their wordly goods are confisti cated. They are often tortured and put to death. The best way to stay healthy in such a totalitarian state is to be a servant and fall on your knees to the mas ters. When you go to the polls there is only one name on the ballot. If you should be brave and write in a vote you are inviting the undertaker to get his ma terials ready. Occasionally you will hear some crackpot brag ging about the government of these dictator coun tries. The best reply to them is to tell them that if they don't like the USA to go over to Russia. Report such people to the FBI in any city and they will be probably be questioned. When you get out of school keep up that en thusiasm for the people you elect to office. Get excit ed about the candidates and go out to the polls to vote. You have had a good lesson in democracy. Let that lesson be a lasting one. ROLAND L. PARKS, Principal Are You Remaining Loyal? At the end of basketball season everybody feels a little let down as there are "no more games," but basketball and football aren't the only sports at school. Along with spring come three more equally in teresting athletic games, baseball, track and tennis. Also there are many boys who consider these spoil i their favorites and who are putting just as much ef fort into them as those boys on the football team. Just as in other activities, our school is being repre sented. Our track squad in particular has brought many honors to A.H.S. The students should realize that all is not lost with the coming of spring. The teams could certainly use and would apprec iate much more backing from the student body. It is up to the students, to go out to the games and give their support. What about you ? Are you remaining loyal ?

WYANT le SONS PEOPLE'S MARKET 304 North Main Groceries and School Needs Letter to Juniors Dear Junior Class, It is customary at the end of every school year for the jun iors to put on a Junior-Senior Prom as a farewell dance to the seniors. As this is our last high school dance, we feel that it should be a dance that we will remember with pleasure. Since the seniors have backed you all the way this year, (in hope of half-way good prom) in all the pro jects that you hare tried to carry out such as your lunch eons and carwash, we expect something spectacular from you. On May 7, 1954 in the Ash land Elks Lodge the best prom ever heir or ever to be held was put on by the senior class of "55." It is going to take a great deal of work to even come close to having such a wonderful prom, we hope you started work on it several months ago. (take it from youi elders, we know!!) So far, we haven't heard too much about the plans of the prom, so we feel it our duty to ' urge you to hurry things up a bit. Since this will b our last dance we would like to give a few suggestions to how it should be carried out. A lot of the seniors would like to have the Prom held some place besides the Elks, such as the "Country Club" in Medford or our own gym. Here are a few suggestions for the theme: Oriental Gar dens, Underwater, On the Waterfront, or Battleground. Fried chicken or broiled steak with strawberry short cake for dessert, sounds quite tasty for the banquet. We hope you are not offend ed by our friendly advice. Wo really mean have lots of fun planning it, because it will be one of your happiest exper iences in high school. Signed, SENIOR CLASS Support the advertisers.
