LET'S CLEAN UP AND HAVE FUN TOO
Remember the clean-up day held at Ashland
High School two years ago? The whole school turned
out in work clothes to improve the appearance of our
school and to have a good time.
Doesn't our school need another clean-up day?
The janitors do a very good job of caring for our
school but they have no time for the small things
that students could do. Any of these warm spring
days would serve very well for another clean-up day
at Ashland High School.
Hither and Yon . . .
While wandering hither and
yon this reporter found that the
Juniors of Happy Camp High
in California staged the play,
"Her Kissin' Cousin" on May 9.
While in Weed, California,
the juniors and seniors combin
ed to produce the play, "Bull in
a China Shop" to be presented
on May 18.
The Junior class in Fall Riv
er chalked up "The Great Big
Doorstop" as their greatest
achievement this year. The re
sponse from the well-filled
house indicated that the show
was a job well done.
"Over the Rainbow" has
been named the theme of the
Junior class Prom of Sand
Point, Idaho. Decoration includ
ed a Pot of Gold as the center
decoration.
"Voices of Spring" will greet

SOPH STUDENT
TRAINS WORMS
Can a worm think? This is
the question that Betty Martin
endeavored to answer with her
biology project for Mr. John
son's biology class.
In order to determine this
factor, she constructed a T
shaped box, about 18 inches
long and 8 inches wide. At one
end of the "T," she placed a
portion of moist, soft earth. At
the other end, she placed a
square of rough sandpaper. The
worm was stationed at the far
end of the T. He crawled along
to the place where the two ends
forked, and was then given a
choice of the dirt or the sand
paper, At first, he chose the
sandpaper; but as time wore
on, he began to realize the dis
comfort of the sandpaper and
chose the soft earth.
The experiment was repeated
18 times. Only 6 times did the
worm choose tne sandpaper
The reason, according to Bet
ty, was not because he was
thinking, but because he ac
quired a conditioned reflex to
stay away from the dirt.

girl whispered at last, "would
you propose?"

For Year 1961-62
It's all over! The ballots
have been counted, tallied, and
officiated. Rick Callahan will

vice-president. Judy Eberhart
will serve as secretary and Joy

The officers-elect were chos

ceeded by a week-long cam
paign, one of the liveliest ever
held in Ashland High School,
according to Mr. Smith.
The campaign was highlight

in the study hall on Wednesday
noon, enabling the students to
meet their presidential candi
dates;" dixie-land and dance
bands playing before school
and at noon; and was climaxed
by a campaign assembly on
Thursday, at which all candi
dates and their campaign man

Girls vying for positions on
the rally squad also tried out

yell queen, a position open only
to senior girls. Assisting her in
the yell squad will be Kay
Moore, Sharon O'Keefe, Dolor
es Westgaard, Joy Hinkson,
Martha Schweibert, and Peggy
Parsons.
VIRGATE?
When the question, "What
would you do with a virgate?"
was put to many of the fine
Ashland High scholars their
first reaction was "What is it?"
However, being willing to go
along with it, even though they
may not have known what it
was, the following answers
came forth.
Dave Anderson I'd give it
to my brother-in-law.
Mary Lea Gray Put it
away for future use.
Mike Lewis I'd probably
play with it or swing on it
maybe.
Julia Oeser Let it go.
Pete Kriesman I'd avoid
Linda Neal I'd bite it!
Jim Lewis
I'd give it to
my Dad.
Sally Stringer Burn it!
Jerry Burns Look it up in
the dictionary. '
Sylvia Brostad Tell it.
Hello.
Kent Chamberlain I'd eat
Janet DeKorte I'd drown
it,
Jerry Hauck Give it to
Leonard Johnson and let him
break it in half.
Linda Gray I wouldn't
keep it I'd bury it.
If you're still wondering
what it is and curious enough
to find out follow Jerry Burns'
advice and "Look it up in the
j dictionary." , . ,

Have you ever seen a girly
Go a-prancin down the hall
Like a restless little filly
Tossin ponytail an all.
Have you ever seen the feller
Wrappin' 'round 'er like a
