Election Time
Graduation To Be June 9
False Picture Of School...
Election time has once again come and gone.
Also the glowing friendliness of Ashland High
students has once again come and gone.
The new school year begins. Most students find
a little enthusiasm in this beginning. Things are
a little different from the last year. To some,
everything is completely new. Most everyone is
quite friendly on registration day and during the
first few days of school. But within a week's time
everyone has fallen back into his little group.
There are many of these little groups, or
"crowds" at AHS, and the members of most of
them seem to feel that his or her crowd is the
best. At least this is the impression one might
easily get.
Throughout the school year each crowd be
comes more and more defined, and the members
of each crowd become less and less friendly to
the members of other crowds. Groups of more
popular students, for instance, criticize or "put
down" other groups some they consider "snob
bish" or "wild," or those who are commonly
called "hoods."
On the other hand, the groups of less popular
students resent other groups and speak of their
members, sometimes called "goodie goodies," as
being snobbish, "fake," and not really what they
seem to be. They naturally are not friendly to
this type.
Gossip spreads in the many crowds; resent
ment and unfriendliness increases as the year
continues.
Election time comes and the atmosphere of
the whole school changes. Students are friendly
and happy; they go out of their way to speak
to one another. Everyone's face beams with a
smile and a friendly hello hello not only to
VANITY FAIR
by Julie Cox 1
With spring here and summer
just around the corner, it's time '
for every girl to look to the
"golden days" ahead. May is
never too early for a girl to be
gin getting ready for summer.
No matter what a girl picks as
her summer look, she wants it
to be the prettiest and most
practical for her.
Spring is the time for a girl
to make a careful analysis of
her hair, skin, and figure prob
lems. All of these should be in
good condition before summer
actually begins. Hair needs spe
cial care to get it ready to face
the summer months. The best
way to begin is by having dry,
split ends trimmed. Hair can be
conditioned by brushing or, in
serious cases, by applying cream
rinses and conditioners. Spring
is also the time to shed those
extra pounds added by winter
inactivity. Most girls find exer
cising at this time of year a
must if they are to look their
best in swimsuits and other
summer clothes.
Now is the time to begin
preparing skin for the golden
suntan which will show off sum
mer clothes to their best advan
tage. A daily few minutes spent
in the May sun will be a good
start on a summer tan. Once the
skin begins to tan, lotions and
moisturizers, applied lavishly,
will prevent peeling which is
often caused by neglect and
dryness.
A glowing suntan, soft, shiny
hair and a trim figure will add
to any girl's summer beauty.
The prettiest summer "golden
girls" are often the ones who
besin their beauty ritual in the
spring. They achieve their sum
mer beauty early and enjoy its
benefits all summer long.
members of one's own crowd, but to everyone
who passes by.
Why does this change come? Is it only because
candidates for office are trying to bring other
students into their favor in order to gain votes?
Yes, this is undoubtedly a part of the cause, but
not the whole cause. Many candidates would be
more friendly purely because of nervousness
and anticipation. These things start it, but once
it is begun by a few, others respond and soon
nearly all are smiling and friendly.
Surely this happier, more friendly atmosphere
must give us all a better feeling inside about
attending school, so why doesn't this atmosphere
exist throughout the school year at Ashland
High? Some of you may say that that would be
impossible, that in every walk of life there are
always groups and crowds. This is, of course,
true, and only natural because of people's differ
ent interests, but does it necessarily mean that
different groups at AHS cannot be friendly to
wards others? In the mind of any normal, mature
and rational person it definitely does not. Then
why can't a happy, friendly atmosphere exist
throughout the school year at AHS? The answer
to this question lies with you! It all depends on
you, as an individual, as a member of your group
or crowd, and as a member of the student body
of Ashland High School.
Election time has once again come and gone.
The glowing friendliness of Ashland High has
once again come, and is nearly gone. But must
it go completely? Must it die, not to return again
until election time next spring, or can it be re
vived and kept always at Ashland High? Yes, it
can be revived by you, if you care enough to
smile and to say hello.
