PAGE TWO ROGUE NEWS FRIDAY, JAN. 22, 1965 Tim Thompson 'The Freshman Blues' Tim Thompson, 1964 AHS graduate, was featured in the January 8 issue of LIFE maga zine. The magazine is currently running a series of articles on the terrific academic and social pressure encountered by the stu dent, teacher, and president of an Ivy League college. After receiving a scholarship to Yale, Tim was chosen for the story as a result of an interview with a LIFE reporter last summer. The main objective of the feature story is to show the tremendous competition endured by the students at a modern uni- Help!

Some of his favor ites are modern problems, golf, chicken and noodles, and the color green. The mystery boy's pet peeve is people saying oh. vcrsity. Since Sputnik in 1953 there has been both an increased quantity and quality of high school students applying for ad mission to the "prestige colleges." Yale is one of these colleges. Wanting to reduce the number of students and to see if the college prospect can keep his head above the academic flood waters, col leges dump extra work on the new freshmen to eliminate those who can't swim. The others float back to "nice, safe" home town colleges. According to its presi dent, Yale is "a competitive place. but it's a competition which re wards all its participants." A methodical day for Tim starts at 6 a.m. and ends at mid night. Along with classes, studies, and a part-time scholarship job, Tim washes his own clothes and irons his own shirts. Tim, who lettered in baseball and basket ball, finds no time for even in tramural sports due to his de manding schedule. "Streaks of Western individ ualism," according to the article, "are standing Tim in good stead." The picture essay went on to point out that Tim has gone through a cultural shock where by Kandy Korthase I couldn't help noticing the students of AIIS on their way to the pep assembly last Friday. The mass exodus of students rush ing from their classes makes Macy's on sale day look like a kindergarten recess! Fearing to brave the crowd when the bell rang, I dashed for the corner by the clock to "wait out the storm." But my corner was not my own for long. Twenty- three other cowardly students had the same idea and the same corner in mind. I was forced to move on. In the process of finding an other island of calm in this treacherous sea of peaple, I was shoved along at an alarming rate of speed One poor soul who evidently couldn't keep up with the pace was slowly being ground into the linoleum. I learned later that she wasn't the only fatality. One boy was trampled to death at the foot of the stairs when he stooped to pick up a book. Another girl suffocated when she was trapped in her locker by someone slam ming the door as he rushed by. Thirty-seven other students were Your Interest Recently I saw a copy of the Rogue News on a lunch table. It was cut up and mutilated. I realize this is only one paper and one incident, but it made me wonder just what happens to the copies of our paper after they are handed out to the classes. What was the life of this beaten, mistreated paper? Was it just stuck in a notebook and thrown into a locker until after the vacation and then brought out for an undeserving assassination? Do you read your copy of the newspaper? Our staff tries to put out a paper that is interesting and full of news that is of concern to the Ashland High School student body. We are often told of things that are not done right, of things that are dull, but we are rarely told when something is liked. If you read something that you like and would like to see more of, tell one of the staff members. We would appreciate knowing what you students would like to read. And remember that you don't have to be on the newspaper staff to write for the newspaper. This is your paper, and we want you to be interested in it! K.

The article goes on to state further that Tim will undoubted ly make good at Yale because he has what it takes to win out in the competition spirit. Ain't It True? by Kathy Brown On Wednesday evening, Jan. 20, 19i5, many lamps were turned on in bedrooms and studies all over Ashland. These lights burn ed in the late afternoon, the early evening, the late evening, and on into the night. What was this special occasion? im sure you all know. es, that's right, exam eve. But why all this last minute cramming? Well, let's interview a suspect and get some facts. A typical teenager, we'll call him Faultless Walt, was asked this fatal question, "Why didn't you study before this?" And the answer was, "I had too many other things to do." Then we made the mistake of asking this, GRIZZETTES The Grizzettes recently got new outfits. These are red cor duroy A-nne sKirts and over blouses. The girls were in charge of making their own uniforms. Their complete outfits are as follows: Red skirt and blouse, red tennis shoes, white gloves and white tam.

SPANISH CLUB According to Mrs. Lois Wright Spanish instructor, the Spanish Club will not hold their next n the dean's office. Things settled down fairly well after the students were seated in the gymnasium where the as sembly was being held. I spoke with the custodians who must clean the halls after such processionals. They reported having found, amongst the tons of debris in the halls, three pairs of badly broken eyeglasses, oneibox is being made. All that was purse, the contents of which were I found of the old box after last ifted but no pieces large enough j Friday was the hole in the top!) vhat things?'

"Well, there were is over, due to the semester finals for identification could be found, and a student teacher or at least they think it's a student teacher! There have been several sug estions made for remedying this situation. One was to install traf fic lights; however, I am afraid the intersections created by them would 'be murder! Another was to let students out class-by-class, but this would cut down on both class and assembly time More suggestions are desperate ly needed. If you happen to come up with any, please place them in the b:x at the back of the study hall atfer Tuesday. (A new those afternoons at the Sweet Shop.

Well, I was busy driving around town looking for , well, mostly just looking." "And my weekend nights? Hmm, they are pre-planned by my, ah, agent" (his steady who, incidentally, was cramming that night, too). You see, things come together in the end, and there is only one conclusion that can be evaluated from this information. This con clusion is "You're only a teenager once, so live this time of your life the way teenagers have been doing for many years.

Lincoln High School's Student Body Cabinet recently proposed a list of causes which they felt were partially responsible for to day's public teenase image. Trudy York, drafter of the article, said that the statement is a general analysis of social, economic, aca demic, and psychological factors of one group's opinions, "not a factual or statistical data sheet. nor a comprehensive survey. The Cabinet proposed to send the statement to organizations concerned with youth problems. with the hope that it will spark investigation into the outlines problem areas. Because of student disagree ment, the statement was turned over to a oemmittee and then to the general assembly.
