PAGE TWO ROGUE NEWS WED, JAN. 23, 1963 Journalism - Mickey Mouse Club? By Linda Weber There are surely some people j the Rogue News. Sometimes this who wonder just who is respons ible for this so called "school papi r," and just how they manage to get it put together ready for printing. 1 must confess that a finished product such as you read does not fall too far short of a miracle. The guide through all this maze of confusion and activity and who cracks the whip but seldom strikes is none other than our patient, hard working, and optimistic Mrs. Selma McAlaster. Don't let that exterior air of sophistication fool you for she is really a regular pal who has the respect of each member of the class. With everyone talking, but really no one listening, our editor, Lonna Baize, seems to be able to get through to each one of the staff what is required of him. This is accomplished only after Lonna has talked hard and fast, argued vehemently, and been in the middle of a battle royal over the seection of news stories for the front page. A strong mind with a mule-like resistance usually accounts for the winning of her choice of stories with few exceptions. Life in a Journalism Class could become rather dull. This could never happen in the third period class at Ashland High School. The antics of our prize jester, Dave Mott, the assistant editor, lends spice to each day's work. Dave's literary contributions can be summed up in the "Draggin' with Dave" column and some sports stories. Probably this clown's greatest contributions are his jokes and his ability to keep the class laughing when situations get tense. The efforts of this rare specimen of humanity are tolerated by the class because of their doubts as to his sanity. Next- on the staff to be cons idered is the advertising man ager, Kathy Tilford. If she isn't gray-haired by now, she never will be. You should see this girl in action as she attempts to convince a businessman that he should advertise his products in gal is too successful in her selling and she finds herself between the devil and the deep 'blue sea when it comes to the printing of the paper. The advisor says to get advertisements to pay for the paper and the class says we must have more room for our stories. Things are looking up for the depressed and pessimistic Bruce Bamforth, the sports editor of this publication. He had almost flatten how to write the larger number after the home team. We predict his outlook will improve tremendously as this year pro gresses. Note six wins so far for the 1963 Grizziey Basketball team The reporters, who lend i helping hand in scraping up and digging out news worthy of ink end paper costs, keep their ears tuned in for news wherever it may be. You can bet that Penny Clements will come forth with a ;;ood story the last minute. Loren Close, the still quiet kind, helps spice up the sports stories while Geraldine Donigan gets around with story assignments. A New Year's resolution made by Charles Hillestad promises to change the climate of the Journalism Class for 19(53. Charles has vowed not to argue with his fellow workers for the remainder of the year. What a change this will be to the class. Vicki Schweikl has the responsibilty of mailing the Rogue News to other schools of the state. This she executes with great proficiency. Linda Weber seems to have inherited the responsibility of being the chauf feur for Lonna and Kathy. It is reported that they go to town on business but we are not sure of just what their business is. Mary MeCulloch, the quiet one, may not make much of a noise, but when the deadline time comes around, her work is there. The lone sophomore of the class is Judy Guile. This reporter deserves your sympathy for she takes a great deal of ribbing from the upper classmen One laugh, two laughs, or three whichever it may be Sharon Oviatt is the reporter responsible 'Alright Guys, Who Changed My Orange?' Continued from page 1 j which is the time for breakfast. but without making noise. Many boys who are supposed to be good students go to the school library. There are three libraries in my school ruled by boys of the twelfth grade. I say "ruled by" because the twelfth grade boys are almost the kings of my school. Practically all clubs are directed by them and when there s a concert, the first few rows re occupied by them, and when there is a movie the last few rows are occupied by them. Of course this sometimes makes trouble but you know this is also a different kind of fun. Eight-thirty is the first in teresting time of our school life. It's time for breakfast and when the bell rings all classes leave. Everybody runs to the school cafeteria to get the breakfast of another boy, besides his own breakfast. Therefore, you are .supposed to be fast, if you don't want to lose you breakfast it is very hard to find your breakfast once it's lost. There are almost 125 boys in one cafeteria. By the way, there are six cafeterias in my school and almost 1500 stu dents. Almost 800 of them live in school during the five days of school. Everyday one record is broken in these cafeterias. My record is to eat my breakfast in VALLEY ENTRANCE MOTEL and Campus Trailer Park 1193 Siskiyou Opposite College Ashland, Oregon for the jokes in our school paper. The fascinating and informative articles on Hawaii found in the chosl paper are written by our newest member of the class, Carol Hunter. As you scan through this article and note the membership of this class, it is a wonder there is a paper published. one minute and twenty seconds, but there are many boys who don't even try to taste the milk because of their soccer game. Or hey hurry to get the day's news papers and to read only sport's pages. Nobody is interested, I believe, in politics early in the morning. At nine o'clock the first class begins. By the way, one thing is different. We stay in the same class room all day long, instead of changing it every time. The teacher comes, teaches, and goes. We bave four periods in the after noon. There is at least five minutes of recreation between periods. At twelve-thirty the bell rings at the same time as the bells of our stomach ring. Everybody runs to the cafeteria just like at breakfast. Sometimes someone who is absent during the first periods comes to lunch. He sees that there is no lunch at his place so he takes the lunch of another boy. You can imagine the trouble. This problem happens everyday. It is too bad if you have an orange for dessert. By the way, I do the same things, don't think I'm different, I like to get the orange of another guy because he does the same things. I change my meat with the meat of my neighbor if I don't like mine. Therefore even if you find your lunch or your orange in its place you ask first with a smile on your face, "Alright guys, who changed my orange?" To be continued . . .
