Sours Come To Ashland
From Bosporus Shores
If You Dare
by Larry Taylor
The late French President
Charles de Gaulle once stood
within 20 feet of two Ashland
High students. This was only one
of the many unique experiences
of senior Jan Sours and her
brother Dave, a sophomore,
during their stay in Istanbul,
Turkey.
Jan and Dave arrived in
Istanbul in September, 1968,
and spent ten months there.
Their father, Dr. James Sours,
was on an exchange program
between the University of Iowa
and the University of Istanbul.
They came to Ashland when he
received the position of
President of Southern Oregon
College.
While in Turkey, the Sours
lived about 500 yards from a
cattle -fortress guarding the
Bosporus Straits, the gateway to
the Black Sea. Every day they
saw Russian ships pass by.
One of the things that
surprised Jan and Dave was the
number of Americans they saw
in Europe. They met one family
when they were buying an
automobile at the Volkswagen
works in Germany, and later
found that they were also living
in Istanbul.
They noted the differences
between Istanbul (a major world
seaport of about 2 million
people) and small Turkish
villages. Istanbul is "...really
cosmopolitan." Also, they
compared it to American cities,
in that it is "alot more liberal"
than the surrounding
countryside.
As far as school went, Dave
attended the Robert College
Community School, a branch of
Robert College, the oldest
American college outsidethe
United States. Since there was
no girls' school for Jan to
attend, she studied American
History at Robert College,
French at the Community
School, took a correspondence
course in Algebra, and spend the
rest of her time at a Turkish
school called Esenis.

Enjoy Snuffy's Snack Bar
By Denise Balog and Kacey MacGraw
Article II
Here we sit, in deep thought, pondering the
question of what are the advantages concerning
Snuffy's Snack Bar at Ashland High School. After
extensive meditation, we came up with the
following three problems along with their
solutions.
First, there is the problem of wanting to fill
your stomach up with nourishing, hot food.
Where, other than at the A.H.S. cafeteria can you
get delicious food items such as; fishwiches, grilled
cheese and bacon bits, korn dogs, tomato and
vegetable soups, tamales, chow mein, and none
other than those vitamin building green beans.
These are just a few of the "HOT" foods available
at non-inflation prices.
Secondly, for those A.H.S. students on diets,
dessert items are available for thosd who feel like
going off their diets for approximately 45 minutes.
Cake, brownies, cream pies, puddings, and
turnovers are just five of the most tempting items
JAN AND DAVt SOURS came
to Ashland last year when their
father Dr. James Sours was
appointed President at Southern
Oregon College
at Snuf's Bar. But, where would the cafeteria be
without such "goodies" as jello, cottage cheese
and fruit balls, canned peaches and pears, salads
such as macaroni, potato and tossed green and
seedy, red watermelon.
Third, and last of all, there are five,
computer -type machines with your favorite candy
bars, soft drinks, ice cream bars, potato chips and
multi-flavored life-savers, s at the far end of the
cafeteria. Such cavity and calorie inducing items
can become disasterous to any student with a set
of beautiful, white teeth and a shapely body.
In conclusion, we would like to say that for
those students that are genuine cop-outs with 35
cents in their pockets, Lincoln grade school can
provide a nourishing, hot, lunch where you can go
back for seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, etc., etc.,
etc. (Try doing this at Snuffy's Snack Bar with
good ol' George Findley watching, we'll bet 10 to
1 that you end up with a sore behind )s

Brownie Bits lo Textbook Used
In Humanities Course
By Linda Brown
AIS-
During the week of
Homecoming the AFS Club has
a penny drive. This project was
quite successful. The class
winning the penny drive received
25 of the total earnings. Low
and behold, the sophomore class
of AHS walked away with first
prize. The seniors ran a close
second while the juniors came in
last.
Citizens of the Nine Weeks
One boy and one girl have
been selected as citizens for the
first nine weeks. Each were
selected on citizenship and
accomplishments this term.The
winners are Diane Jensen and
Tim Slapnicka.
Drama Guild
On December 11 and 12 the
drama guild is planning to give
performances of the play, "The
Importance of Being Earnest." It
is a good play and has humorous
incidents throughout it.
Honor Society
During Homecoming week
the Honor Society sold Ashland
Grizzly pennants. They are
trying to raise money for a
possible trip this spring, and
under the able leadership of a
real brain they just might
accomplish their goal.
Spanish Club
On November 2 the Spanish
Club had a taco sale! This sale
was to help promote spirit for
Homecoming and also to earn
some "mula" for the club.
No textbooks!! However, the
new Humanities course is
conducted through selected
readings, discussions, and guest
speakers. The new one-semester
course, under the direction of
Mr. David Wight, will b: offered
second period next semester.
The tentative program of the
course is to take a broad view of
man; man in relation to himself,
to others, to the arts, and to
society.
The class reads selected
literary works ranging from
Arthur Miller's Death of a
Salesman to Joseph K rut en's
critical essay "Is Our Common
Man Too Common." The
selections are then discussed to
the depth warranted by student
interest and time. Written work
for the course amounts to a few
"informal quizzes" and several
semi-formal papers. The
remainder of the course is
supplemented with speeches
given by experts in related fields.
The class draws speakers from
the school, college, and
community.
The Humanities class recently
read Tennessee Williams' The
Glass Menagerie and saw the
play at the new Angus Bowmer
theater. The class also attended
the symposium "Liberation: a
search for values" which was
sponsored by Southern Oregon
College.
As a supplement to the unit
on personal identity, ministers
spoke to the class on such topics
as "Christian Conversion" and
"Man's Relationship with God."
While studying man in relation
to society, it is hoped that a
lawyer will speak on the legal
procduures for minors.
