If you saw the Beatles' Let It Be, you might remember the black
organist who plays on some of the cuts (including Let It Be). His
name is Billy Preston, and he has two albums of his own out on the
Apple label. They're mainly gospel stuff, and are entitled That's The
Way God Planned It and Encouraging Words.
John Lennon's latest, John Lennonl Plastic Ono Band, is just that.
Joe Cocker's new album, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, is an
excellent double album capturing his unique live style. Included is
the "hit single," "The Letter."
This is the season for "Greatest Hits" albums. Worst of the
Jefferson Airplane includes "Somebody to Love," "White Rabbit,"
and lots more. The Doors13 is thirteen of the Doors' best. "Light
My Fire", "Hello, I Love You," "Wild Child," and ten other equally
fantastic cuts are included.
The Archies' Greatest Hits contains, as Rolling Stone magazine
put it, "twelve convincing arguments against the capitalist system."

Dear Editor:
There is a lot happening that
Ashland students don't know
about. There is a group of
Jackson County teenagers called
the Jackson County Community
Action Program's Youth
Advisory Committee. They get
together on Monday nights at
7:30 and rotate their meetings
between Ashland, Forest Acres
(Central Point), Rogue River and
Medford.
They are trying to get a
youth center going. The center
will, hopefully, provide the
following things: Draft
Counseling, Job Referral,
Medical Help (physical and
mental), Legal Aid, Tutoring,
Counseling, Family Counseling,
Someone to talk to, help to get
what is needed in your
community, help for you to
start a small business, and a
place to be and become.
Any interested person can
contact Vickie Alfonso at
779-0431, Wayne Richards at
779-5876 or me here at school.
We will all be happy to give you
more information or answer
your questions.
Please help us, it will benefit
you.
Thank you very much,
Sheri Hartley

As we gaze out of a 3rd floor Humanities Building window into
the dense stuff outside commonly known as fog, we pause for a
moment of silence in memory of the poor little creature who was
hauled off because he was defending himself. Now, it wasn't his fault
he ended up in the cafeteria. Although it is true that these ltf' fellows
have been trained to use a flush toilet (doesn't say much for people,
does it?) It is hardly likely he picked a lock and climbed into the
cafeteria. It was the innocent victim against the establishment and he
lost. But he managed to raise a little "stink" before he left.
With the onslaught of fair weather and the start of the second
semester, signs of "Spring Fever" are beginning to bloom. That ole'
reliable invention called the frisbee has found its way onto the
budding campus. One must be careful in crossing the mall after
school, in fear of being struck by an unidentified flying object.
(Whether it is a papercup or a frisbee.) But at least it is keeping
some of the more mischievious students out of trouble. (What's
that?)
Rob Merriman has followed in his big brother's footsteps by
putting out Seniority for the enjoyment of the senior class. Rob
finally has a big hit on his hands, much to the amazement of most
concerned. He and his staff should be heartily saluted for it.
(In case you are wondering what KKK stands for, it's "Kacey &
Kathy's Kolumn!)
Unwelcomed Visitor
Frag rents A
As I approached Ashland
High School one early Tuesday
morning I noticed some of my
fellow students walking around
with clothes pins on their noses.
I thought this was rather odd,
but considering the times I
accepted it.
I proceeded on into the
upstairs hall to go to my locker
and then ... IT hit me!!! My
head suddenly became light with
an extemely hideous aroma. 1
stopped in my tracks and
analyzed this odor. After
eliminating the smell of
experiments done in the
Study Halls Are in Need
Of Quick Change-Or Else!
by Kathy Nidever
The new study hall system
has been in operation for six
weeks now and the outlook is
fair except for one thing: the
amount of debris and litter that
is being scattered about the
cafeteria. It must be
remembered that this system is
on a probationary status and it
could be right back to the old
system if something is not done.
The teachers are not content
with the system; expecially
when they are left
"baby-sitting" a few students.
Most felt that their classes were

chemistry classes, the cooking
done in the home ec. room, and
finally the over flowing of the
upstairs bathroom, I realized
that this grotesque smell had to
be from some inhabitant of
Ashland. My brain started
clicking and it came up with the
conclusion that this odor must
be from one of those fuzzy,
integrated animals more
commonly known as a SKUNK!
Perhaps in an endeavor to
further its education this little
fellow came to bless the halls of
A.H.S. Sure enough that's just
what he did!!!!
not necessary. One teacher said,
"They are not used and this
demonstrates that study halls are
not needed at all. They are a
joke."
The majority of students,
however, seem to enjoy the new
freedom given them. An
estimated 80 of the students
go to the cafeteria, and this is
where the debris problem arises.
Carelessness is no excuse for
the administration; regardless of
how it got there, the problem
does exist. Action speaks louder
than words, and there is little
time for action left.
