Grizzly Knights
Perform Services
It was mentioned at a recent
Student Council meeting that
several clubs, among them Grizzly
Knights, may be put on probation
due to lack of participation in
school activities.
Throughout the football season,
the Grizzly Knights kept people
from entering the game if they
had not paid admission, they
helped raise the flag, and helped

Local Teacher's
Article Published
Password may seem to be
only a childish game to some
people, but for the students of
the Ashland High shorthand
classes it is a method of learning
and improving their shorthand.
This was brought out in an
article written by Mrs. Jean
Fowler, who is the shorthand
teacher at Ashland Senior High.
The article entitled "Password To
Shorthand Learning," appeared
in the November issue of the
Business Education World. Mrs.
Fowler described the short-
wine. The Cinzano Company is
tihe largest producer of Vermouth
in the world. Their plant in Alba
was started about 1770. They still
use a portion of the original plant,
but have enlarged and modern
ized the plant and processes. The
storage cellars, where the wine is
aged for two years, are corridors
that have been dug into the hill
side. I toured five of these cor
ridors, each containing one mil
lion bottles of wine.
Bersano Winery
Another winery that I visited
was Bersano. The interesting fea
ture at this plant was the mu
seum. The owners are building a
16th century winery using origi
nal equipment that they have
been able to find in various areas
of Italy. Their modern plant is
much smaller than the Cinzano
plant, but they are using the same
modern methods of wine making.
Printing Fabrics and Books
Other places I visited were Mo
roglio fabric plant and the print
ing plant of St. Paul's. At the
fabric plant they weave cloth, dye
the material, or stamp designs on
it, and then sell it to other com
panies to be made into clothing
They work with wool, cotton, silk.
The boys will be setting up the I hand version of Password as
mats for the coming wrestling I " exceiting and fun. At the
meets. They will also sweep the
floors during the half time at
the basketball games.
The following Grizzly Knights
and their advisor, Mr. Jack Hall,
deserve, rather than being put
on probation, a big "thank you"
for the many services they do
for Ashland High School: Jerry

same time it requires reflection,
imagination, planning, and extra
ordinary energy."
In the shorthand version of
Password, the words and the
clues are all written in short
hand, rather than being spoken.
In the first-year shorthand
classes, tne fasswora sessions
start at the beginning of the
second semester. Play is started
after the beginning of the school
year in the second-year class.
Permanent teams are chosen for
a full six-weeks grading period.
Mrs. Fowler stated in her
article that "In order to win
you must know your shorthand.'
This then leads to a correction
of many of the weak spots in
shorthand theory, because of the
rules of the game.
Password, as played in the
shorthand classes, has two
Coos Bay Holds
GAA Convention
Recently eleven girls represent
ing Ashland High traveled to
Coos Bay for the annual Girls
Athletic Association Convention.
These girls, accompanied by Miss
Shirley Laney, were Darlene
Beck, April Harlan, Rita Harris,
Teresa Loegel, Dian Murphy,
Carolyn Preston, Jane Smith,
Linda Tucker, Lyla Voth, Judy
Wacker, and Dana Weitman.
The girls attended two buzz
sessions on "Problems of Girls"
and "Ideas of GAA." They also
had a special talk on "Where
the Girls Are" by Miss Beverly
Bennett from Southern Oregon
College.
Approximately 900 girls re-

Visiting an Italian Farm
I visited several of the farms
in the Alba area, too. The average
farm is about 40 to 50 acres in
. Each farm supports about
four families. Since much of the
land is on side hills and the farms
use machinery. Many of the farms
use ox teams and ox carts instead
of tractors and wagons or trucks
as we would. They have some irri
gation, but not a great deal. Their
more important crops are grapes,
peaches, some grain crops, beef
cattle, and truffles. The farm
buildings are usually quite old,
and the style of living has chang
ed little over the past 100 years.
Market Day in Alba
Saturday is market day in the
city of Alba. Every square in the
older part of town is filled with
little shops. The people that own
these shops move from one town
to another each day. They arrive
about 5:30 in the morning and
set up their shop. They try to sell
things until about 1:30 in the
afternoon and then pack up their
goods to move on to the next
town. Each square had a different

Mrs. Fowler concluded her

from a routine one into a day

in the Ashland High shorthand
