PAGE TWO ROGUE NEWS FRI., MARCH 19, 1965 A-L-L-L-L! by Greg Officer A L-L-L-L ! That's what that sound you hear all over school looks like in printing. What does it mean? Where did it come from? And why do Medford, Crater, Phoenix, and even Grants Pass have this sound echoing around their school? Endless hours of research pro duced answers to a couple of these questions. It seems that in 1963, an Ash land boy engaged in a little skull duggery when attending a foot ball game at Crater. Somehow, his sticky fingers managed to trans fer numerous items from the Crater locker room to his own Ashland locker. When this little "boys will be boys" act was dis covered, so was its victim, and he was tagged with the name Al after the famous Al Capone. From then on, whenever some thing was mentioned about his misdemeanor, everyone let out with a unified A-L-L-L. Only this year, the Al-call (as it is frequent ly referred to) been transferred to practically every form possible, such as at games, at teachers, fellow students, etc. To show the varied opinions of this "new yell," a survey was taken of students selected at random and they were asked what they thought of the Al-calls. Dave Barger "I think it's the most childish thing I've heard of." Kandy Korthase "I think it's great as long as it's not referring to anyone in particular." Mike Dawkins "A-L-L-L-L !" Bill Wiley "I think it's the greatest thing that's happened to this school. Everyone does it, and it's funny." Pam Kaegi "I'm tired of it." Mimi vonKuhlman "It's get ting old, but I still think it's kinda funny." Dick Knies "I think it's stupid; it seems as if those Al-callers don't know anything else." Support our Advertiser SSS--Who Needs It? SSS who needs it? We don't. And there are two major reasons why we don't: inefficiency and ineffectiveness. The first reason covers the set-up of the com mittee itself. It's simply inefficient. There is no sys tem to follow ; no rules for giving out points or set ting up projects; no guidelines to follow. Most of the points are given out on a hit-or-miss basis, and I'm afraid there's been more missing than hitting! Points are supposed to be given out evenly in the three areas of scholarship, service, and spirit. So far this year no points whatsoever have been given for service, and scholarship's not far behind. And there's little doubt in my mind as to the effectiveness of the set-up when a grand total of 80 students, out of a student body of almost 700, turned out for the recent JV game for which points were given for attendance. Furthermore, I seriously doubt if any student has worked a little harder to make the honor roll or honorable mention because SSS points are given for those who do. Most people just don't care that much' about SSS. (I might go on to say that there are many people who don't have the slight est notion of what SSS is, and some of them are mighty puzzled as they read this!) To those of you who cry that the competition yells are the only thing that holds our pep assemblies together, I say something s wrong with our pep as semblies. No other school that I know of has aii SSS committee or similar system, yet they seem to "get by" with some pretty spectacular assemblies. Maybe it's time we started depending upon our own inge nuity rather than competition yells for peppy as semblies. And what should we do if we did abolish the SSS competition and SSS day? Give the seniors back their Skip Day. Organize it much the same as the SSS day is planned now, by a student committee of seniors. I don't think there would be that much trouble keeping the thing under control. At any rate, it's time we did something about the SSS competition. I cast my vote for getting rid of it entirely! K. K.

MAIN To the Editor: "If you are going to talk, go to the study hall" is an often as serted phrase by teachers to stu dents in our school. But in study hall the talking is as restricted as anywhere else. Granted, the study hall is a place for students to study, but Li it mandatory for these students to study at all times? It seems only fair that a student should be able to sleep, talk, or do anything within reason in a class for which he does not receive any school credit. But often if the student is caught -talking or sleeping he is threatened with extra school work from his study hall teacher! Can't something be done? Laurey Dixon Editor's Note: I can't see any reason why study hall students SHOULDN'T be allowed to talk quietly or sleep during that class period as long as a cer tain amount of order is main tained. For those students who want peace and quiet for study ing before school and at noon, there Is an honor study hall in Mr. Leyboid's room. During class periods, study hall stu dents are usually allowed use of the library where a quiet atmosphere for study is preva lent. a To the Editor: Many students at Ashland High Another activity restricted to those people who have Student Body cards is the National School Assemblies. Students without cards have to go into the study hall while the other students en joy themselves. There would be no harm done if there were exceptions made for students who really cannot afford a card and for students who would really appreciate participating in many activities. Georgia Schofield Editor's Note: I believe that the reasoning behind the pol icy that only students with student body cards be allowed to attend the after-game dances was that if a student attended all of the dances, he or she would have spent enough to buy a card. Also, the student body card is a means of checking attendance so that only AHS students and their guests at tend the dances. But I see no reason why, just as you have pointed out, these same stu dents should not be allowed to attend the National School Assemblies. The senior and junior members of FTA are going to start onserv- School cannot afford a student ing classes on the elementary body card and because of the , level within the next few weeks, same school rule, these students j Each member will observe a class are not allowed to participate in ; and how the teacher handles it. many activities of the school. One ;in many cases, the FTA members such activity is the after-game dances. A student at AHS cannot go to the dances unless he or she has a student body card. This is not right. A student shouldn't be deprived of this privilege because he is not able to buy a card. For some students, 35c plus $5 for a card may be a little hard to get There should be allowances made for these students as they may enjoy the dances as much as anyone!

VANITY FAIR by Mimi vonKuhlmann Along with new styles and colors comes the "lacy legs" look for spring. Textured, patterned, or brilliant stockings need a spe cial approach if they're to look as great as they should, so remember that you must take care when you pick the shoes that you'll wear. To begin with, flats or little heels are a must. Secondly, the new hose require shoes with more character to distinguish them, such as perforations, a snappy color, a strap, or some sort of texture. You can match your shoes and hose, but a contrast is gen erally better. Never wear lacy hose in the daytime, especially black, and never wear one solid color from head to toe. Use your stockings to emphasize your outfit. Be imaginative in picking your new spring stockings, remember ing that they're not a serious fashion, but a fun fashion.

The mystery boy's birthdate is April 12. His pet peeve is lazy people. will actually get to participate in the classroom activity under the supervision of the teacher. Also, any member of FTA wishing to go to the region II conference at Crater should con tact Jim Mayo or Mrs. Susee as soon as possible. INTER-CLUB COUNCIL Sponsored by the Inter-club Council, the Pickle Dance will be held on April 2. During the week prior to the dance, pickles will be sold for 5c apiece. As students buy a pickle, they are entitled to vote for the "teacher they'd most like to eat a pickle with." The teacher who receives the most votes will be crowned at the dance. Music will be provided by Sid and the Siberians.
