Plans for changes and revi

gram have been made, accord
ing to Jack Farmer, S.S.S. Com
mittee chairman.
The six-year-old program is
based on class competition in
the areas of spirit, scholarship,
and service. Its aim is to im
prove and increase activities in
each of these areas. Last year
the basis for judging each class
was changed from evaluation of
class activities to challenges
among the classes. This year's
committee has made additional
changes to try to eliminate
some of the problems created
by the challenge system.

Wrote Essays
The members of the Juvenile
Jury were picked by Ashland
High School authorities after
they had written an essay-type
letter telling why they wanted
to be on the jury. Letters in
cluded such ideas as what the
students felt they would gain
from being a juror and what
good they could do for other
students.
The purpose of the jury is
twofold. First, it gives the par
ticipating students a better un
derstanding of laws and the
way laws are enforced; Second,
it gives the juvenile lawbreaker
the chance to be tried by a jury
of his peers, teenagers, so as
to give him a chance to have a
fair trial judgment.

Two S.S.S. officers will be ap
