and certainly the highlight of our
stay in New York.
The rest of the day we spent
walking down Sth Avenue to
Central Park, and visiting Rocke
feller Center and Saint Patrick's
Cathedral. The city was crowded
and seemed impersonal that
day. People were intent only in
their own affairs and there was
a sense of urgency in every
hurrying footstep and every honk
of car horn.
Before our departure, a tour
of the Empire State Building and
the Modern Arts Museum had
been arranged for us. Besides the
foreign students on board the
DC6 AFS charter plane to San
Francisco, there was also a crowd
of Americans Abroad students
traveling with us. As a result, we
did not get much sleep, but no
body minded, as we were all too
excited.
The next morning we were
awakened for breakfast and soon
after this we flew over the Grand
Canyon, bathed in the rosy, early
After eight games of the Grizz
lies nine game season, we have
a respectable 4-3-1 record. There
is ore drawback though, the three
games we lost were all conference
and our record in conference play
is 0-3. In the last game, Ashland
will play the Crater Comets at
Central Point.
In the game last Friday with
Medford, Ashland was defeated
despite a tremendous effort on
the part of the Ashland team.
They lost on weak defense of
Medford's passing attack. We also
had trouble getting our offense
going.
Tonight, Ashland goes to Crater i
to meet the Comets in the return i
conference game. Ashland beat
Crater last time, but, Crater still
has as many men on the field as
Ashland.
So much for varsity football
and on to JV football. The JVs
have had a fairly good season
with a 3-3 record. Ron Boyce,
sophomore halfback, has been one
of the standouts on the offensive
team of our JVs.
Besides football, other sports

Francisco International Airport
and were taken directly to the
Greyhound Depot where we would
get on the bus that would take
us to Oregon.
Driving through the Sacramento
Valley, I noticed how very similar
the countryside was to that around
Pretoria, my home town, in the
winter-time. I was very excited as
I thought that I would be meeting
my "family," when we arrived in
Medford at 10:30 that evening.
However, there had been a mis
take, and my "parents" were not
expecting me until the next day.
So, after waiting awhile, our
chaperone decided that I should
go with them to Portland.
We arrived in Portland early
the next morning and there the
AFS chairman took charge of
the situation. After phoning my
"father" in Ashland, it was ar
ranged that I should fly down to
Medford that afternoon.
After a two-hour flight we
landed in Medford, and as I ran
across the landingfield to meet
my "family". My first thought was
that I had arrived "home" at last.

is having a very good season with
Gerald Brown and Don Way

Pass. Ashland tied for second

Ashland High School this fall
which is entirely new is a weight
lifting program. This enables ath
letics not participating in any
sport at one season to keep in
shape until they go out for their
next sport. The supervisor, Mr.
Brenning, is a man who is very
familiar with this program.
A reminder to you boys turn

in shape and run your mile
(sophomores, 6:30; juniors. 6:15;
and seniors 6:00). Basketball will
probably start next week.

BY BOB SNYDER
Larry Pierce is the owner of
this '51 Chevy two door hardtop,
and his car has been selected as
Heap of the Week, for this issue.
This sharp Chev is painted
lime fire, and has a very nice
appearance. The front and rear
decks have been molded off and
leaded in. Whitewalls enhance the
beauty of this car.
For the future, Larry plans to
have his car upholstered tuck-n-roll
pearl colored no less. A floor
shift is another of the plans for
his car before its completion.
Rumor is that Larry wants to
sell his car. If you're interested,
You'd better hurry.
