Here lies the "Sunshine Patriot."
He led a good life in the land of
the sun.
He died with winning spirit in
his heart.
It was winning spirit that killed
him.
Victory was the only medicine
that kept him alive,
When it was taken away, he
died a swift and sudden death.
He died with his boots on, ready
to be resurrected.
Can his spirit be resurrected at
A.H.S.?

Program Changed
As part of an exDeriment. se-
lected students from senior mod
ern problems classes have been
working in an independent
study program.
Beginning this semester, ca
pable students began spending
class-time in the library, work
ing on three research papers.
The topics all center around a
democracy theme. Students are
also responsible for all class
work and tests.
Individual Needs
The purpose of the prograrr
is to adapt the curriculum to
needs of the individual student

ties are expected to do outside

The current program will be
used for a period of three to

encouraged, rather than discour

crowd was giving them support.
Almost the same boys are
playing basketball as were play
ing football. The only major dif
ference is that they lack the
needed support they received as
football players.
This support is not a donation
to your favorite charity. It is a
quantity hard-earned by our
basketball players. At each suc

nocent, misguided spectators
feel betrayed in the team's lack
of victory. Perhaps the team
has this same feeling of be
trayal about the spectators.
The team needs your support
to play well. Without this spirit,
the team does not do as well as
it could. Everyone should be
able to make an appearance for
at least one home basketball
game. There is one home game
to be played this season. Attend
ing it would help resurrect "our
hero." Do you believe?
WITH ANNIE
In various schools throughout
the United States a great deal
of emphasis is placed on the
participation of the student.
Students at West Seattle High,
Seattle, Washington published
the first issue of the Jacobin, a
student opinion journal. Its pur
pose is to present opinions on
questions of interest and rele
vance written by members of
the school and community, espe
cially its youth.
Students at Anoka High,
Anoka, Minnesota, have orga
nized an advisory board. The
board will meet once a month
to plan and carry out programs
to improve local business's serv
ice to the student. Members are
being paid according to the time
and effort they spend on the
various projects.
SOPHOMORES GET
NEW CLASS RINGS
This year's Sophomore class

You have probably noticed the
recent drop in the crime rate at
Ashland High. Don't the halls
seem a little bit safer? Well,
they are. (Only one case of as
sault this month.) The reason
for this is that two crimefight
ers, the Whistler and the Caped
Mashing Muncher Cruncher,
have combined forces to stamp
out evil in our school. Only a
few people know the secret
civilian identities of these true
super heroes and they are
pledged not to tell. However,
one hint as to who these Clark
Kent types are is that their
weaknesses are pinball machines
and sloppy 19 cent hamburgers.
The Ashland City Police are
also doing their job in the fight
against crime. Their latest beat
seems to be Emigrant Lake. I
Understand there are a lot of
robberies and such goings on
out there.

Act In Production
Mrs. Frances Lattin, English
teacher at AHS, played the part
of Sarah Brown in Guys and
Dolls, presented March 1 and 2
at the Holly Theatre in Med
ford. Mr. Bernard Windt, orches
tra and chorus director, also
took part in the performance.
The Play
Guys and Dolls is a musical
by Frank Loesser based on char
acters made famous by Damon
Runyon. Runyon wrote about
life in New York City.
The play has two main plots.
One concerns Nathan Detroit,
who runs a floating crap game.
He has been engaged to a dance
hall girl, Adelaide, for 14 years.
The other is about Sky Master-

is really quite interesting. If
you listen closely you can pick
up little historical items, like
the one Mr. Shanks dropped last
week. According to Mr. Shanks,
Achilles was the hero of the
Trojan Har.
The debaters were quite ex
cited about the entertainment
provided for them on the ten
hour trip to Linficld. They want
ed to keep the slightly crunched
Corvair the busdriver hit for a
souvenir, but they had to settle
for a four-letter word.
As you may have guessed al
ready, I'm running kind of low
on material for this column.
Thus I'll take up some space
with a Thing of the Month. It
is eight feet high, 300 pounds,
and has a mean hook. What is it?
Next time you see a Journal
ism student, ask him what is
the quickest way to get out of
an elephant
son, a big-time gambler, and
Sarah Brown, who runs a mis
sion. The musical also revolves
around a bet of $1,000 between
Detroit and Masterson, and the
results of this bet.
Tryouts
Tryouts for parts in the mu
sical were open to anyone be
cause the production was a
community project. The large
cast of 40 or 50 and the orches
tra began rehearsing the first of
January. Dr. Matthews directed
the orchestra which consisted of
many townspeople. Mr. Windt,
teacher at AHS, played the cello
in the orchestra. Dr. Tumbleson
from Southern Oregon College
directed the singing.
