Bruin Pep Day
Has Bright Colors
Friday, Feb. 11 marked a col
orful finish to a pep-tilled week
at Ashland High School. Stu
dents, oddly dressed in crazy
outfits and smiling, exhibited
enthusiasm and spirit at its
peak.
AHS seniors did their best in
dressing to resemble the notor
ious Hell's Angels. Black leather
jackets, dirty blue levis, and
boots all were seen.
Juniors found it highly com
fortable and pleasant to relate
in plain old grubbies all day;
although it did make it rather
difficult to concentrate on stud
ies. Also, some extremely un
usual hats were displayed.
The sophomores did even
more to brighten and color the
day by dressing in the brightest
and most clashing colors ever
seen. Yellow, purple, red, and
orange seemed to be a very
popular combination.
To finish off the last day of
pop week, the students of Ash
land High strove to prove they
were the noisiest as well as the
greatest school in the confer
ence. The noise assembly was a
complete success. The whole
day was a great day to finish off
a spirited week.

Fourth century Ireland was a
society based upon pagan re
ligion and stone idols. The Irish
priests, or Druids, worshipped
the sun, moon, and stars. Such
was the situation when, near the
end of the century, a Christian
boy of sixteen and his parents
were brought to the island as
captives. For six years the boy
KLUNK Mike Pierson's pickup blessing the Ashland High
School parking-lot was chosen as Klunk of the Month for March.
Kliink of the Month
by Bruce Ainsworth
While
combing the parking
lot in search of a vehicle note
worthy for the title "Klunk of
the Month," I noticed Mike
Pierson using a piece of rope to
secure the rear fender on a
vintage pickup. After securing
the fender, he then maliciously
struck the tailgate, wedging it
into place. Whereupon he
started humming "Catch me if
you can" and boiled off in a
cloud of black smoke. (Talk
about vintage, at first I thought
it was a Lincoln because of a
faded sticker on back saying
Lincoln vote for Lincoln.)
But a later session with Mike
and his machine gave me the
following info. It's a 1941 Gen
eral Motors truck, meaning it
generally breaks down, gener
ally runs out of gas, and is a
general WTeck.
Finding the exterior beyond
description, I proceeded to the
cab. Finding it quite quaint, I
insisted on a ride. As we took
off, the first thing I noticed was
that the speedometer didn't
work. So I asked, "How do you
know what speeds you are at-
Mike answered by saying, "At
Quill and Scroll
Club Inducts 31
Ten Ashland students were
inducted into Quill and Scroll
February 14. The induction took
place at Medford High School
when 21 Medford students were
accepted along with the Ashland
group.
Those accepted from Ashland
were: LeLanne Jackson, Susan
Hess, Judy Wacker, Julie Cox,
Ginny Lawrence, Ann Colwell,
Pam Demo, Joyce Taylor, Jan
ine Lusk, and Sandy Tison.
John Kaegi, president of the
Ashland chapter, assisted in the
induction as he explained the
symbolism of the quill and the
scroll.
To be accepted into the hon
orary club one must be a junior
or senior in high school, be in
the top third of their class and
have contributed something of
excellence in the field of jour
nalism. Ashland's new members
are from the annual and paper
staff.

wrote his meditations in a book

At last he escaped, but he al-

safety-mindedly asked him what
he was going to do about it. He
said, hit something cheap. Sud

quaint; suddenly I found myself
impounded in a mobile death
chamber. As I began to feel I
suddenly wanted out bad,
the words of the late King Rich

TfOmbonist
Delights Crowd
George Roberts, concert trom
bonist, delighted a large audi
ence February 12 in a light
Lincoln's Day concert. The pro
gram also featured the Ashland
High School Concert and Stage
Band, and the Junior High
School Concert and Stage Band.
Roberts' selections varied
from "Lament," a mournful
tune, to "My Baby Just Cares
For Me," a light, happy number.
The concert as a whole proved
entertaining to the majority of
the audience who seemed to
accept it very well.
Mr. Roberts, a well-known en
tertainer, has worked with such
greats as Gene Krupa and Nel
son Riddle, and has played for
such shows as Bonanza, Wagon
Train, and innumerable others.

him back to preach the Chris
tian gospel.
Saint Patrick's mother was a
near relative of the French
saint, Martin of Tours. Patrick
returned to his parents' home
and studied under Martin for
his coming mission to convert
the Irish to Christianity. He was
intent upon study that by the
time he felt worthy to preach
the gospel he was over 60 years
old. So it was that in the year
432, Patrick set out upon his
mission. He was a very success
ful missionary, winning first the
chiefs of tribes and then the
people. It is said that while
Hard Hat Cheering Club
Increases Pep At Games
During February a new group
at Ashland High School made
its debut at the AHS-Crater
basketball game. Since then, the
AHS Hard Hat Cheering Section
has been providing pep at most
home games.
The idea for the organization
was presented by Dwight Mor
rill, student body president.
Senior Ron LeBlanc was largely
responsible for planning and
organizing the group. "We're
yelling with the cheerleaders,
but we've got a few yells of our
own, too, says Ron. This fact
is evident during the games.
Requirements for member
ship in this group are few. First,
membership is open to boys
only, and second, each member
must own or be able to borrow
an unusual hat of some kind.
Ashland, Crater
Twirlers Perform
As a reminder of the friendly
rivalry which exists between
Ashland High School and Crater
High School, majorettes from
both schools combined to pro
vide a half-time show at the last
Cratcr-Ashland home game.
Beginning the program was a
marching routine to "Swingin'
Safari" by the Crater major
ettes. Following this, the AHS
majorettes did a polka-dance
routine. The groups then com
bined to do a routine to "Down
town" which featured several
double and team twirls. The per
formance ended with the pep
band's playing of both school's
fight songs during which each
majorette group performed to
its own school tight song.
Representing Crater were Ka
ren Jantzer, head majorette, and
Linda Snider, Connie Russel,
and Julie Thompson. Ashland's
majorettes include Linda Can
non, Julie Cox, and Debbie
Evans.
Tomorrow night the flag girls
and majorettes will combine for
the last scheduled performance
of the year.
