We learn so much.
Everything, it seems,
But how to stay in touch.

Drama Guild Gives Play:
Wildo's Humorous Comedy
Oscar Wilde's sophisticated
comedy, "The improtance of
Being Earnest", is sponsored by
the Drama Guild, December 11
and 12. Curtain time is 8 P.M.
and all seats are SO cents.
The play is an amusing farce;
yet no other farce has such
polish. It is set in 19th century
England which was the
highpoint of Victorian society, a
subject of many jests in the play.
Director Ellsworth London said
that the play concerns "two girls
who are in love with the name,
Earnest. Two 'eager to please
boys, who are seeking the
affections of the girls, tell the
girls their names are Earnest.
This deception, complicated by
a domineering old aunt, causes
some embarrassing situations."
Actors Mark Kelley and Larry
Lowen star in the leading male
roles. Cathi Galati, Kathy
Hammer, and Kathy Shepard are

Anything Goes
On Friday nights !!
Happiness, joy and excitement can be yours on a "FRIDAY"
night in Ashland. This quiet, subtle town nestled in the "purple
mountain majesty, above the potted plains", offers many fruitful
opportunites to the daring adventurer. We have compiled numerous
suggestions of what to do for guaranteed, action-packed night.
During the football season, for those blood-thirsty patriots, the
after -game brawls provided entertainment and an outlet for all your
frustrations accumulated during the game. The nearest referee was
almost always, the "VICTIM". These brawls seemed to bring the
town closer together by involving the students, alumni and the
spirited townspeople.
A fun time can be had by all at Cook's Reception. Observers can
witness the town socialites drowning their sorrows and indulging in
gay activities. Flying-dipsomaniacs, which are hurled through the
door, create dangerous obstacles for the innocent passer-by.
For those superior beings who detest their little brothers and
sisters, "Kiddie Night" at the local theater offers an easy way for
revenge. At the low, low price of 10 cents, you can purchase one
peashooter and package of 500 tiny peas at the local drug store.
Any normal sharp-shooter can pick off their most detested prey with
a mouthful of peas from high atop the balcony. Be careful of the
following menaces. The old folks babysitting the little kiddies and
the watchful ushers can spell "TROUBLE" for you. Last of all,
make sure the exit is near in case a chronic complainer rushes to the
scene with the manager.
For those athletic minded persons who think they can tackle any
sport, the local roller skating rink provides an extremely unu)
challenge. Just trying to dodge those smart aleck eight-wheeled
speed demons is a terrific task. When the lights are turned on bright
and the sounds of joyful conversation can be heard without any
strain, you know that the competition races are about to begin.
The toboggan race (the ultimate in skate racing) can be very
treacherous for the two skinny, frail girls squatted down in front of
the so-called three member team. The extreme danger in
participating in this race is that there always seems to be a
tremendously, overweight sixth grader pushing from behind. The
momentom of her strength, combined with the overwhelming weight
of her body, can seriously damage one of her dare-devil teammates
as illustrated below.
As soon as that ol feeling of your grade school days come back
to you, the highlight of the evening occurs when you can participate
in the Grand Finale. When the lights dim, you know that is the time
to "skate with your mate". This is the most heart -throbbing
experience any sixth -grader can live through.
When all else fails you, you can always tool the main and then go
to Campus, tool the main and then go to Campus, and finally, tool
the main and then sit in Campus filling your sensitive nose with the
smell of Apple Annies, hamburgers and french fries.
A Friday night in Ashland can provide fun times for all if you
follow our suggestions. Always remember that "MEDFORD IS A
MIRAGE ... SO STAY AND PLAY IN ASHLAND". After all.
Ashland's where its at!!!!!
