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 ?

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

One cool summer morn a lick chick called Henny
Penny was evaluating peas in her green grotto.
Out of a tremendously blue sky crashed a pea on
her noggin. Cool Hen decided the sky was real gone
to fall on her bean. She felt simply dubble bubble
and perambulated over to the king's shack to spill the
info.
Along the way she dug a crazy mixed-up cock

He played lots when he was

Yesterday he had kittens,
Does anyone want a cat?

who jived, "Where you jump-
ing to, Hen gal?"
"I'm diggin' the news to the
king that the sky is gone."
"Count me in, pash pie," Faid
the cock.
This setup increased until by
the end of their crazy trip there
evolved a delicious duck, sev
en cool cats and a fox who was
the most to say the least.
Friend Fox upon digging this
spectacle gave with shrieks of
the "Sheik" and questioned the
group.
"I just want to get the facts,"
said he, "what's this gismo
here, you guys?"
"Man, you haven't lived. The
sky is hanging on by one crazy
thread and we're relaying the
statistics to the King."
I "Well, paint me a stripe and
call me stinky, if that isn't the
maddest," howled the Fox.
Whereupon he Jumped the
crowd, plopped all into his cool
stomach, and got the facts in
the end.
