PAGE TWO ROGUE NEWS fRI.. FEB. 6. 1970 Jonesey Speaks Out: Let's Get by Larry Jones What ever happened to that good ole Ashland High spirit? Has it vanished to the scenes of the weekly keggers? Maybe. Or maybe it's been forgotten. Nevertheless, our school spirit and participation in various activities have undergone dramatic changes that only Ashland High students could create. I agree the traditions from the "Alamo" days are becoming worn out. It would seem obvious that the rah rah rah routine is of less importance to some students than others. But activating those drooling mouths of ours alone doesn't mean we have spirit. There is much more meaning attached to this word. In the last few years, participation in school activities has decreased considerably. In fact, a group called the Cirizettes which once was a prominent organization, no longer exists. Why? The answer is simple. No one wanted to get involved. C an you imagine what would happen if our athletes felt the same way? Assemblies also show some kind of negligence toward school spirit. Though I agree that pep assemblies should not be mandatory; 1 disagree with the dissenters' arguments. I feel that these students, now in study hall during the time of assemblies, are not proud of Ashland High School. This is not the right attitude. The success of various school programs depends on the support of the student body. Let's give more than "lip service" and really get with it! Apathy Deemed Main Apathy among students and faculty was considered the most apparent and pressing problem facing Ashland High School by the Student-I'aculty Innovation Committee. At the first meeting combining both young and old it was agreed that the lack of interest in school activities was the major cause for the decline in clubs and class involvement. The committee composed of eight students and twelve faculty members is designed primarily for the purpose of presenting and developing new ideas w ithin the school and improving upon and evaluating the old methods. The group discussed the importance and role of such items as outer class activities, team teaching, mini-courses and grades. These topics were divided into various com mil tees for further investigation. The faculty members are: Keith Mobley. chairman. John Barlow, Harry Detwiller, Jean I'owler, Keith Garrett, John Gray, Marie Harkar. Betty Kimball, Lance Locke, Bud Silver, Don Vondracek, and Margaret Zwick.

LETTERBOX Dear Miss Davis: May I take this means to tell you and your fine staff how much I enjoy this year's issues of the school newspaper. The stories are exceedingly well written and researched. The format of the paper is such that we can tell that many, many hours of planning takes place before each publication. May I also say that your editorial staff has been very fair with issues discussed - and this isn't always easy. Keep up the fine work. Sincerely, Bud Silver Asst.
