What Do You Know? Poll Reveals Problem by Cinny Lawrence The Rogue News recently con ducted a poll to determine whether or not students want to continue the SSS program. They do. Ninety percent of the sopho mores, 89 percent of the juniors, and 97 percent of the seniors answering the questionnaire said they thought SSS should be continued. But the survey revealed an other fact which is even more important Eight-five percent of those giving their opinion do not understand what SSS is and what it does. Forty percent of thoe surveyed claimed that SSS is better than ever (or worse than ever) because of the com petition yells during pep assem blies. Another 30 percent ad mitted that they don't know what SSS is and suggested bet ter explanation and publicity. And another 15 percent made various other suggestions which demonstrated their lack of un derstanding of the program. These suggestions ranged from "Offer a prize" to "Let students Judge instead of teachers." High - By Alan At this time I would like to draw your attention to the home wrestling matches in the gym. Wrestling, like most sports, has its own vocabulary. Perhaps an explanation of the more widely used and printable terms would be of some help in following the action. (Listening to the tone of voice in which something is said is useful, too.) Calling a person a fish is a way of telling him that he can't wrestle worth a darn. The coach's order (plea) of knees, knees, get to your knees, is a reminder (threat) to the wrestler that most moves must initially be made from the knees. You don't have to worry about saying something at the wrong time, usually the two wrestlers can't hear you, anyway. If ever the wrestling action slows down, a look at the spec tators is sometimes worth the trouble. There seems to be three general classes of spectators: the insecure, the secure, and the oversecure. Mothers or girlfriends who have sons or boyfriends wrestling usually belong to the insecure group. Their most noticeable char acteristic is the tendency to cover their eyes and moan softly during the match they especially came to see. Members of the secure group act quite sophisticated. They try to remain calm with a bored-looking expression on their faces. However, they usually develop the nervous habit of jabbing the person sitting next to them in the ribs with an elbow. When sit ting next to a more active member of the secure set you begin to wonder who is taking more of a beating the wrestlers or you. Members of the oversecure group always sit right behind you. They alternately condemn the referee, harangue the opposing coach, coach their teams, and down banana-chocolate sundaes for energy. After the match they can never remember the final score. sofspra Tpy CAR WASH JtilcaplFgJ Average car will cost Just 50c FURNITURE and takes only 10 minutes!

Most of the students are con fused by the difference in com petition in pep assemblies and SSS. The results of class compe tition at pep assemblies are not a part of SSS. One of the criteria for SSS challenges is that they must be able to be judged ob jectively. The committee does not feel that a definite winner can be determined from compe tition yells. Those who claimed that they don't understand SSS because it has not received enough pub licity comprise the second larg est group. The present SSS program was instituted by the AHS student council six years ago. Its aim is to promote school spirit through class competition in the areas of service, scholarship, and spirit There is little excuse for not knowing when challenges are taking place. Plans are an nounced in student council meetings, during announce lights Engstrom ments from the office, and at pep assemblies. However, the results of SSS challenges are not publicized. A solution to this problem might be for the SSS committee to post a chart which keeps a run ning account of results. The fact that students are in favor of SSS indicates that it can work to fulfill its purpose. However, it can not achieve its goals as long as students do not understand it Only if the stu dents are concerned enough to question will the program suc ceed. If not, we must resort to the suggestion of one student, "abolish SSS." Letters to To the Editor: This is a protest about what seems to be a high school "in stitution." Politely (by those who do it) it's called "help," bluntly it's called "cheating." This cheating doesn't involve tests as much as it does homework. Cer tain people think they don't have to do homework. Whatever their reasons for not doing it they wait until right before class to do this work. They need help with it but, naturally, there isn't time for explanations or figuring, so "your answer will do nicely, thank you." Later, while correcting an in class assignment, someone asks you to delete a few misplaced numbers on their paper. Cheat ing? Of course not, merely "help." Well, I'm tired of "helping" people, the rules are getting too hard to remember (is it Knot who needs the next two correct or was that Lump in third period?). I'd be glad to help someone figure out how to do something (I need help, too, many times) but I'm THROUGH giving out answers. Everyone should have enough self-respect to rely on their own knowledge and for those who don't, I've quit the racket.

First of all, it takes peace and quiet for a suitable working con dition. Secondly, when there are dances on Friday nights in the cafeteria, first period study hall students have to clean up and put the chairs and tables back in their place on Monday morn ing. Some students may have important work to do in the someone else's job. If the club morning. We shouldn't have to work if the organization that sponsored the dance was doing its job right, it would have organized a clean-up committee.
