AHS Future Plans
Campus -Styled School Has Drawbacks
by Ginny Lawrence
Future plans f or Ashland High School
include construction of a new, campus
style school. This proposal may, at first,
seem undesirable. It seems that one need
only look at past experience with this sys
tem to realize its drawbacks. The between
class dash which it creates handicaps stu
dent and teacher alike.
Campus-style construction hinders the
student's capacity to concentrate on his
study, especially during winter months. As
the student passes from one building to
another, the wind tears at his (or her)
carefully arranged hairdo, spoiling the
effect which he (or she) has devoted hours
of setting and combing to attain. The ever
present problem of dirt or dust blowing
into the students' eyes often renders read
ing (or seeing) impossible. This problem
is secondary, however, due to the fact that
students seldom have books or papers to
read after the wind has taken its toll. Be
sides overcoming the threats of nature, the
student must also compete with cars, dogs,
and neighborhood children for the use of
their outdoor hallway. When the student
enters class in his (or her) disarranged
state, it is no wonder that the major part
of the class period is required for re
building. Teachers must also adjust to handi
caps under the campus system. Students
find it difficult to face their studies be
cause of self-consciousness due to their
appearance. Teachers, on the other hand,
find it even harder to face a whole class
room of such students. The common occur
rence of students entering and leaving the
classroom during class also poses a major
problem. As the door is opened a blast of
wind and rain enters the room, scattering
papers, books, pencils, chalk dust, and hair
pieces.
There seem to be only two possible
solutions to this problem. First, a method
for transporting students from class to
class could be arranged. This could be ac
complished by building underground tun
nels or enclosed hallways from building to
building. United States Congressmen are
provided with an underground subway
to carry them from office buildings to the
Capitol building. It seems reasonable that
AHS students should enjoy similar conve
niences. Such a system would probably
bring nationwide fame to AHS, making the
cost of construction and maintenance
worth while. In addition to the many ad
vantages of the system, students would
enjoy their ride from class to class. The
only other solution seems to be for stu
dents and teachers to change their habits.
If hair-dos were designed for durability in
winter weather the result might be alto
gether undesirable. The disappearance of
those students who carry a notebook which
resembles a rat's nest might be another
desirable side-effect.
So the problems of a campus-style
school can be solved. Which solution is
better? The second is cheaper.

AHS Language Agenda
May Include German
Mrs. Zwick, English Depart
ment head, announced that a
survey of Ashland high school
students is being made to deter
mine whether or not a German
language course would be
worthwhile.
If enough students express an
interest in the program, it will
be considered as a new course.
However, nothing definite has
been decided. The school board
will have to find not only a com
petent German teacher, but one
who can also teach another
course, as there will probably
not be six classes.
Thus far, about 25 high
school students have signed up.
Students will be told definitely
by registration time if the
course is going to be offered
next year.
Exchange News Vanity Fair
Redlands High School, Red-
lands, California, is establishing
a pen-pall relations program
with high school students and
servicemen in Viet Nam. Since
the school is not large enough
to handle the program itself,
their newspaper has appealed to
surrounding schools for support.
If any student here is inter
ested in writing to servicemen
in Vict Nam, they are urged to
write for more information to:

Mystery Students
The mystery students for the
last issue of the Rogue News
were Sally Loe and Ron Surber.
A 5'4V2" senior is the mystery
girl for this issue. She was born
in Ashland on July 2, 1948, has
reddish-brown hair and hazel
eyes. The mystery girl enjoys
sewing, dancing and attending
basketball games. Among her
favorites are "the song "Light
ning Strikes," the television
show "Batman," and pizza. Her
pet peeve is people who wear
gaudy clothes and too much
make-up.
T-bone steak and candied
yams are the favorite foods of
the 180 pound senior mystery
boy. He has brown hair, blue
eyes and his favorite song is
"Just Like Me." The mystery
boy was born in Ashland on
March 21, 1948. He enjoys foot
ball, basketball and track. His
pet peeve is conceited people
and his favorite television shows
are "Batman" and "Hoppity
Hooper."
Since last summer, more and
more Ashland High School girls
have tried to "improve on na
ture" by changing the color of
their hair. Many times, color
ing jobs, especially when done
at home by someone inexperi
enced, ruin a girl's hair.
There are several popular
ways to change a person's hair
color. Rinses are only tempo
rary and last until shampooed
out. When applied according to
instructions to healthy hair,
rinses add highlights and give
hair body. Tints and semi per
manent rinses are much the
same except they last through
several shampoos. Dyes are
more permanent and will last
until all hair treated with them
has been cut off. Permanent
dyes are not recommended for
high school students because
they require healthy hair to
begin with and must be regu
larly retouched. This can in
volve considerable expense if
the color change is a drastic
one.
Bleaching is an even more
serious operation and should be
attempted only by a profession
al colorist, especially if color
must be completely stripped
from dark hair. A colorist can
study the condition of a girl's
hair and can also control the
undesirable red and brassy
tones which lightening hair may
bring. Lightening hair can be
expensive if retouches are need
ed often. Lightening is most
useful to a girl who has natur
ally light hair that has faded
to a dishwater shade.
Hair coloring can add much
to a girl's beauty if it is cor
rectly applied.
