This Is The Year That Was
This year marked a number of
"firsts" in the history of good ol'
A1IS. The new English system
was instituted, along with the
universal Al yells, both of which
I have no comment as to.
On September 11 there was a
football game with Phoenix (I
wrestling season followed by se
mester exams on January 20.
On February 5 were the fa
mous turtle races in which two
classes cheated (not mentionin
any initials, but the sophomores
and juniors are the ones). After
the powder puff basketball game
think?), and this was followed with the Faculty Witches was the
by the beginning of Ashland's
football season with Lebanon on
September 19. Ashland went on
to win 6 out of 8 games. Before
the heartbreaking homecoming
game with Medford was the tra
ditional bonfire and the first six
weeks' report cards to provide the
fuel. On November 3 there was
the general election followed by
the powder puff which was
called off! Upon returning from
Thanksgiving vacation on Novem
ber 26, everyone got to line up in
the main hall to have their arms
punctured. The Harlem Clowns
entertained the student body on
December 4, just before basket
ball season. Following Christmas
vacation was the beginning of

debate clean-up at Linfield. The
Cupid's Ball was followed by
most spectacular event, the first
Issuing of the Ashcan. The cul
prits responsible for this piece
of have not yet
been captured. The grapevine
has it that a second Ls to be
circulated. Campaign time hit on
April 28, followed by elections
and an election dance which in
spired a new dance due to the
wonderful swinging music pro
vided by one of the valley's name
bands. I might add that everyone
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Then on May 14, all 700 AHS
students visited the Shakie's
Sugar Shack accompanied by 699
mirrors.
THEN, "For Sale" signs ap
peared on about three-quarters of
the AHS cars. This was due to
the debt they must repay for
attending that wonderful event
where you get to play mechanical
man and wear a starched formal.
Also, you got to pin a corsage on
your date's strapless formal. If
the pin didn't get her, your hang
nail will. Recently the seniors
(yeh!) had an SSS day highlight
ed by a soccer game along with
egg-throwing, hog calling, tug-o-war,
etc. Good luck, seniors
(you'll need it).

enda has continually been
highlighted by the active partici
pation in athletics. The following
ls a summary of the important
sports events for the past year.
Varsity Football

over-confident and were upset by

quarterbacks, Dave Barger and
Dave Lohman. were both hurt,
and Ross Coldwell filled in for
them. Dennis Ekwall ond Don

the extra-point kicking for the
Grizzlies.
Ashland won the second game
of the year against Lebanon, 43-0.
The Grizzlies made their points
on six touchdowns, five extra
points, and one safety. Buck's
Raiders, commonly known as the
defense, introduced AHS as one
of the strongest defensive teams
in the state. Dennis Ekwall,
Wayne Calvary, Tex Willis, Mike
Torresan, Kerry Lindely, Terry

their fourth win in a row. Of
fense and defense looked very
sharp while Mike Torresan scored
the touchdowns for Ashland.
Grants Pass 28 -Ashland 0

six plays, GP ended the Bruins'
winstreak, but not without a
valiant fight. The aggressive
Bruins' defense settled down and
stunned the Cavemen after the

AHS 13 - Klamath 7 Win
ning their first conference grid
iron game in three years, Ashland
showed its potential in upsetting

Medford 21 - AHS 12 The
homecoming game saw AHS al
most upset the mighty Tornado.

Bill Enyart to only 46 yards, over
60 yards off his average. Dave
Barger threw a 33-yard touch
down pass to Wayne Calvary to
bring the 2,500-plus crowd to its
feet, and for a while it looked
as if David might beat Goliath
once again. Tim Voth scored the
other Grizzly TD.
Ashland 18 - Crater 0 AHS
scored two touchdowns, two extra
points, and two safeties during
the senior week football game.
Crater managed only 25 yards

JV and Soph Football
The JV team won five and lost
two games in the year. In the
last game of the year, Ashland

Yreka, 26-0, Klamath, 19-6 and
25-0, and Grants Pass, 14-0. They
lost the first game to Medford,
120.
Sophomore Football
The sophs won only one game
this year, against Crater, 20-6,
and last their heralded fullback,
Tex Willis, to the varsity team.
Many sophomores got much ex
perience playing in JV con

Cross Country The cross
country team, led by Keith Mun
son, had a successful season win
ning more than they lost. Keith
Munson was undefeated on the

the 2.3 mile course. Keith took a
first place in district, trailed
closely by Craig Hooper who took
sixth at district. Keith was 29th
at state.
Winter Sports
The winter sports for boys
were basketball and wrestlin,
Although neither team had an
impressive record, they boasted
many heralded athletes.

and tied Phoenix in varsity play.
In basketball the GRA took the
conference championship and
were undefeated.

second quarter.
Another of the most exciting
ames was at Crater when the
Comets edged Ashland 4843
after Ashland led with minutes
left in the game.
Powderpuff Game

saw the Letterman's Club (wear
ing boxing gloves) defeat the
GRA in the first half of a double

ver, Lonnie Slack and Mike Krug

lighted 'by the hard work of the
grapplers against more experi
enced and older teams in the
conference. Although they did
not iwin any meets this season,
Jerry Sessions and Tade Farmer

district meet. Next year the team
