ROGUE NEWS
FRI- APRIL 28. 1957
It is now the time of the school year when we
begin planning for next year. Many students are in
terested in knowing what they can take next year
and if there will be new subjects and new teachers. I
shall attempt to give you as much information on
these matters as possible in the space allowed.
The program for pre-registration will be com
plete after certain placement tests have been admin
istered. The placement tests consist of Algebra
Prognosis for the 8th grade, Basic Skills in Mathe
matics for juniors, and Tests of Maturity and Gen
eral Achievement.
Many factors are involved in scheduling classes
and in the offering of new subjects. The greatest
factor is classroom space.
As all students at Ashland High know, we are
becoming quite crowded in many areas and because
of this lack of space we may have to discontinue cer
tain subjects instead of adding new ones. However,
it is hoped that we can offer the following new sub
jects next year which are needed in our school:
Business Mathematics and Business of Personal
Law. This is a good course for juniors and seniors
General Art. This is fine art which is based on the
elements of design, line, form, color, texture, light I
and space, with the use of color paints and other
media. Arts and Crafts, which will replace Wood
work. Although Woodwork is a good subject, there
is no place for lumber "or project storage and it is
our belief that there would be a greater offering to
more students if a change were made to Arts nnd
Crafts which doesn't' require as large a work area as
Woodwork.
Another subject to be offered to freshmen and
sophomores is Mechanical Drawing. This includes
certain types of elementary drafting and designing.
Latin may be offered if the space is available to
teach it.
Beginning Band will be offered to freshmen
and sophomores. This course is open to students who
want to learn some musical instrument but who have
no former training, or who have had very little
training. We hope students will sign for this course
if they want to learn music for their own pleasure or
to participate in certain school events.
In athletics a new sport for AHS is being offer
ed: Wrestling. Of all the high school sports this is
one of the best, if not the best. Don't think of high
school wrestling as "Texas wrasslin." There is no
comparison. In high school "pressure" holds are not
allowed. One good thing about wrestling is that it is
done in your own weight class. Wrestling in one of
the best body building sports. Students will be given
a letter for this sport and will attend district meets.
District winners will attend the state meet at Cor
vallis. At present this is all the information available
on the new subjects to be offered.
There will be new faculty members in Band,
;im Making, Girls' P.E. and Art. There will be a
new coach for Wrestling and assistant in Football,
and he will teach Math or Social Studies.
We are looking forward to a good year next
year, both in scholarship and in 6ut-of -school activi
ties such as sports, music, debate and others. We
have had a good year this year but we think next
year will be even better.

7hal Makes a Good Paper!
By Florence Byrd
Have you ever wondered what happens behind
the scenes of the 'Rogue News? Chances are you
haven't. Most people take it for granted that every
month they will receive a copy of the latest edition
in their sixth period class never once giving thought
to the work and effort of the staff.
The next issue begins before the last has been
distributed. People shouldn't think that being a staff
member is a "snap" job. Students work hard under
the direction of their adviser and editor and devote
much more time in interviewing, writing stories,
typing, correcting proof, and making out the dummy
sheets.
These budding journalists do not work strictly
on the paper without training. Laboratory periods
are sandwiched in between days of bookwork in
: which formal teaching is done.
As their deadline nears and the rush begins,
also active in orchestra. Quill members of the staff wonder what could have hap-
rnd scroll, and ihe National pened to all the time.
Honor society. .
ine typing room is a Dusy piace as me reporters
dash madly about getting their last minute stories
written. The editor and her assistants wonder if they
will be able to meet the deadline and find themselves
biting nails and tearing hair in their dilemma.
Finally all the copy is placed in the printer's
hands and everyone sighs in relief. Just as they're
catching their breath, the proof arrives and the
room is once again a frantic madhouse.
Proofreading jobs are assigned to somewhat re
luctant staff members by the editor. She and her as
sistants then begin the job at hand that of making
out the dummy only to find they have too much
copy or are a column or two short.
Proof and dummy are sent to the printer and the
job is completed almost. Several days later the
printed paper arrives. The staff, this time under the
direction of the circulation manager, take on the job
of folding and counting the papers for distribution.
The circulation manager still has a good sized task
ahead of her after distribution; that of addressing
and mailing copies of this latest edition to all adver
tisers and schools on the exchange list.
When the last paper is mailed the staff of the
Kogue News sigh with relief, but they barely have
time to catch their breath before the job begins all
over again.
