Typical Day In
Biology Classes
"All right, we have to get busy
because today I'm going to give
a lecture on the heart and cir
culation," said Mr. Johnson to his
fourth period biology class. The
day of the lecture was April 19.
Instead of having their minds
on the lecture, most of the stu
dents were more interested in
observing a little bird that had
been brought inside half-frozen.
"Mr. Johnson! Mr. Johnson!"
exclaimed Lynne Jameson. "What's
the matter with the poor thing?
It's legs are twitching and every
thing." "Oh, I guess it's dying or some
thing," replied Crystal Ruth non
chalantly. Further discussion was
interrupted by the tardy bell and
the students scurried to their
seats before Mr. Johnson could
mark them tardy.
When Mr. Johnson left the
room for a minute, the girls
hurried back to the bird's cage
to see if the bird was still alive.
Yes. the bird was still twitching.
When Mr. Johnson returned,
the lecture began. The sopho

one lung. And did you' know that
if one of your arteries was cut,
your blood would spurt out eight
to ten feet? This is all very in
teresting, but what has it got to
do with the . human heart and
I circulation?
After digesting such terms as
tricuspid, auricular - ventricular,
and inferior vena avca vein, the
students saw a pickled beef heart.
That is, some of the students saw
the heart. A few of the girls re
fused to look at it. After all, they
had just eaten lunch.
Finally the bell rang. Thank
goodness, the periods were short
ened today!
STUDENTS PARTICIPATE

Seventeen students from Ash
land High School participated in
a youth government day on May

School Tries
New Lunches
As an experiment, a new pro
gram has been started in which
a la carte lunches are being
served in the cafeteria.
Until now, class A lunches,
prepared at Lincoln Jr. High,
have been served at the high
school. Class A lunches are meals
with certain amounts of food,
partly provided by a government
subsidy, planned to give each
student a balanced diet.
Because students have not
approved of the old system, the
administration plans to try the
new way until school is out. If
the p an is though to be satis
factory, the program will be cont
inued next year.
The new menu consists of:
Hamburger 25c
Chile 25c
Milkshake 25c
Coke 10c
Cheese Sandwich 20c
Tuna Sandwich .. 20c
Soup 15c
Milk 7c
