Library Receives lar Novels Popuk AHS Teacher Tells Of European Trip "Nantucket Rebel" by Edward Stackpole and 'The Fortress" by Catherine Gavin are two of the popular books sent to Ashland High through the Young Adult Division of the Literary Guild Book Club. A popular book is sent each month to the library. Each one costs $1.75. Many of the books cost as much as $4 or $5 regularly but the librarian, Mr. Giles Green, is able to obtain them for the reduced price because the books arc purchased through a book club. New books are also received at Ashland High through the Life World Library. Every other month a book on a different country is sent to the library. The books cost $3.25 each. Book fine money goes to pay for these books. There are now about 22 of the Life books on the library shelves for student use.

There will be a series of articles in the Rogue News to let the students of Ashland High learn more about this trip. "I left Portland International Airport at 8 p.m. on the evening of July 8, 1964. The Pan American jet flight was supposed to be nonstop from Seattle to London. The plane took the north polar route over Northern Canada. Since it was the middle of summer, the sun never went below the horizon and I could see the land and water 39,000 feet below the plane. Most of the north eastern part of Canada is marshy land with some islands and lakes. About 1:30 a.m. (Pacific Coast time) the plane flew over Greenland. The land is nearly all snow- covered with many mountain peaks and glaciers visible. There were ice-bergs floating in the ocean near Greenland. Soffn after leaving Greenland behind and while the plane was out over the New books are not the only I North Atlantic Ocean, the plane the water or land below could be seen. At 1:25 p.m. Green wich time (5:25 a.m. PDT), the plane landed at London air port. It had taken just 18 V hours flying time from Portland to London. The afternoon of the ninth I found a hotel to stay in near Victoria station and then spent my time looking at the stores in that area and trying to see how Londoners live. At 8:30 in the evening, I went to bed since 1 had been awake 31 hours. I had been told it would take several days to adjust to the difference in time, but I found that just overnight was all the time it took. On Friday, the 10th, I visited the Picadilly Circus area. At night, this area is all lighted up with hundreds of neon signs. I visited the Parliament buildings, West minster Abbey, St. James Park, and looked at Buckingham Palace. Everything seemed very old and cdate. The buildings have been undergoing a cleaning process, but many still looked dirty, moky, and grimy. In the late afternoon, I took a Circle Tour of London. In about 2 hours the bus covers more than 20 miles and the guide points out many Kim Enters Ashland High Continued from page 1 so far. All of us and the other AFS students from different coun tries in Asia were on the same plane, so w e had a very nice trip. We didn't sleep at all, we looked out the windows and we saw the ocean, the clouds, the moon, the sky, and some islands such as Japan and Hong Kong. The strangest thing I saw was the sky. It was about 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning and at one side of the plane it was day break and at the other one was dark. I arrived at San Francisco on the same day at 6:00 p.m. When I came out the airport I could not imagine that I was in the U.S. and so far from my home. My first days at Stanford was terrible; I understood nothing if our chaperone spoke fast. I dare say that my English was so bad and I don't know what will my English teacher think about me if she heard me speaking English. Now I understand it better if everyone doesn't speak too fast. I was not surprised to see high buildings, their style of con struction, streets, and so on be cause I have seen many pictures about America. But I was surprised at the American way of life and their customs. They are quite of the important buildings and ! different from ours. things new in the high school library. New covers that will last forever were put on 33 of the books in the library. Brightly pictured covers are on many of them. Mr. Green stated that they were even better covers than those on many of the new books. Everyone be sure to come to the after-game dance tonight sponsored by the journalism class. Live music will be provid ed by the Shandells, and the price per person is 50 cents. This is just one of the ways money is raised to publish the ROGUE NEWS. began to slow down. Down below, nothing was visible except water. Then the pilot announced that he was not sure there was enough fuel to get to London and that he would land in Iceland. It was 8:30 in the morning in Iceland, but it was only 2:30 a.m. (PDT). There was a strong, cold wind blowing, but it was clear and sunny. After 30 minutes for re fueling, the plane took off and flew over a small volcano that is rising out of the ocean near Iceland. You could see the flames and smoke coming from the crater. The rest of the flight was above the clouds, so none of streets of London. On Saturday morning I went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard. Everyday when the Queen is in residence at the Palace, this hour-long ceremony is held. There was a foggy rain coming down all during the ceremony, but several thousand people were there to see it. In the afternoon I toured the Tower of London. I saw the Crown Jewels of England and learned a considerable amount of Eng lish history. The White Tower, in the Tower of London area, has a legend about it. As long as there are ravens around this tower the British Empire will continue. If the ravens ever leave, the Empire will fall. The English now import ravens from the Northwestern United States so that their empire can continue. I then took a boat cruise down the Thames and saw many of the famous build ings along the river. This took me from Tower Bridge to West minster pier. Most of my travel in London was by subway. There it is called the under- Now I think you know all about me, my childhood, my family, my hobbies, and my trip and I hope I shall know you more, under stand about your customs as well as you will do about ours. Athletes Attend Annual FCA Camp To help Christians learn how to witness in meaningful ways through their common athletic in terests is the goal of the Fellow ship of Christian Athletes which met for the second straight year on the SOC campus. Ashland High was represented at the Conference by Wayne Calvary, Jim Conklin, Dennis Ek- wall. Jack Gruber, and Keith Munson. High school and college boys, some 350 in number, joined together to create a lively at mosphere with emphasis on vol leyball, softball, basketball, and football.

The trains were fairly Len Casanova; weight lifter Paul rapid and quite comfortable, On Sunday I took a conducted bus tour to Oxford University and Blenheim Palace. Blenheim Palace is the home of the Duke of Marlborough and the birth place of Sir Winston Churchill. The art treasures and antiques in the palace buildings were fabulous. I felt that the English, countryside and small towns were much nicer than London. In the next article I will continue my trip as I left for Paris on Monday morning, July 13, 1964. . I would like to take this op portunity vto thank the students of Ashland High for their help Anderson; UCLA Track Coach Ducky Drake; and University of Kansas Head Basketball Coach Ted Owens. in raising the necessary funds for this program. There was no other group in Jackson County that came anywhere close to raising as much money as you did. I would, also, like to thank the Student Body Association for the check they gave me to pay for the film I used on the trip. Later this year I hope to speak to some of the clubs and show you some of the pictures I took."
