Harriers To Compete At State
District champion Claude
Neuenschwander set a new
District Six meet record two
weeks ago. As a team Ashland
scored 23 points to 63 for
Klamath Falls who was second
and rolled to their second
straight district cross country
championship with ease.
Neuenschwander's time of
12: 16.5 was close to the all-time
course record set by Marshfield's
Brad Nix of 12:10.
The Cavemen's Jeff Slagle led
the field of 42 runners through
the first mile and then
Neuenschwander broke the race
wide open and won the meet by
over 75 yards. Other runners
were Scott Studebaker third,
Tom McDowell fifth. Bill

State Meet Tomorrow In Eugene
Only one more meet remains
for the Grizzlies, State. The
State meet is tomorrow at Lane
Community College in Eugene.

State. All seven Varsity runners

good shot at the State meet
tomorrow.

High (Portland) should give
Ashland a run for the trophy.
Both schools have also taken
their respective districts with
ease.
Ashland defeated Centennial
earlier this year by 18 points.

Dramatists Begin
Love between two
emotionally - disturbed
adolescents is the story line of
"David and Lisa". The Ashland
High Drama Club has chosen this
play by Dr. Theodore Rubin as
their first major production to
be staged December 11, 12 and
13.
Club president Dave Sours
explained that "It is a serious
drama centered around a school
for mental and psychological
problems." Lisa is a
schizophrenic who can only
speak in rhymes and nonsense
words, while David has a phobia
to bodily contact and is very
offensive; an introvert.
Lisa meets David at the
residential treatment center and
slowly they become attracted to
each other. David learns to talk
to Lisa in her private language of
verse and the growing affection
between them breaks down the
walls of mental illness.
The cast for "David and Lisa"
is as follows:
Davie Clemens - Dave Koch
Mrs. Clemens - Barb Peters
Mr. Clemens - Mark Maxwell
Ben Paul Tumbleson
Simon - Dave Sours
Sandra - Jolene Buttolph
Robert Rodger Rio
Maureen Hart Amy McNair
Secretary - Mary Beth Haines

Lisa - Jo Goff
Dr. Alan Swinford - Rob Devoe
Mrs. Ferris - Susan Randies
Carlos - Richard Dodge
Kate - Rosemary Olson

VOL. 19, No. 4
Ashland
Constitutional Revision Now Ratified
The student council voted
October 29 to approve Lesli
Peterson's proposal for Student
Senate elections by a margin of
20 to 15.
Miss Peterson's plan allows
students to "sign up in groups of
32-35 with classmates of their
choice." Each group would elect
a Senator.
This plan won over two other
proposals. One was the present
system, with Senators elected
from Biology, U.S. History, and
Modern Problems classes.
A third proposal was
forwarded by Chuck Wiley.
Basically, this was the same as
the present election procedure.
However, five extra seats would
be included in the Senate.
Secretarial Office Practice Class
Listen To Speakers; Jobe Is One
By Janice Lynch
Since the beginning of school,
the Clerical and Secretarial
Office Practice classes have had
three speakers from different
organizations in the valley. The
speakers were Stanley Jobe,
superintendent of schools,
Ashland school district No. 5;
Welden Stauffer, director of the
Medford office of the Oregon
State Employment Service; and
Gordon Bentson, wage and hour
inspector, Oregon State Bureau
of Labor.
Jobe Conducts Mock Interviews
Mr. Jobe talked about
applying for a job and about
interviews. He selected two
students from the classes and
conducted mock interviews. He
explained what is required to
work in a school office and
outlined the qualifications an
employer looks for in an
employee.
Honor Students
Tutorial Program Commences
Honor Society has initiated a
tutoring program to help
students who have difficulty
with their classes. Assistance has
been offered in the areas of
social studies, English, math and
foreign languages.
The program is designed to
take up where teachers leave off
by providing the individual help
that some students need.
On A One-To-One Basis
Tutors will work with the
students on a one-to-one basis
before or after school. When one
student appears to have
sufficiently overcome his
difficulty, the tutor will take on
another student.
At present, there are not
enough tutors. Mrs. Zwick is
hoping for more participation
among Honor Society members.
"It's experimental right now,"
commented Honor Society
u is wm
Hih School, Ashland, Ore.
To obtain one of these seats, a
student would first fill a
petition. This petition would be
reviewed by a board made up of
the Student Body President and
Secretary, the principal, and one
faculty member. Then the
petitioner would be interviewed
by the board. As the proposal
put it, "If a majority of the
board members thought that the
petitioning people represented
an unheard and significant
minority, then a seat would be
granted to a representative of
that minority." The Wiley
proposal received 15 voted.
There was extensive debate on
the election proposals. Wiley
defended his plan by stating that
it was more like the present
Mr. Stauffer also talked about
job application and interviews.
He discussed the things an
employee should remember to
do and not to do on the job, and
the kind of work performance
expected.
Bentson Tells of Guaranteed
Rights Of Employees
Mr. Bentson told the students
about their guaranteed rights as
employees. Awareness of these
rights can make a person feci
more secure on the job. If an
employee is not getting the
minimum wage or other
guaranteed rights that he is
entitled to, he may contact the
local wage and hour inspector.
Mr. Bentson also spoke about
having a work permit if one is
under the age of 18, and the
problems it can cause the
employer if an employee is a
minor and doesn't have a work
permit.
President Dennis Leybold.
"Hopefully, it will expand
beyond Honor Society" so that
any student who is qualified to
tutor may do so. This expansion
is dependent on the program's
success as an Honor Society
project.
Members participating in the
tutoring program include Ginger
Mayo, Cindy Ragland, Nancy
Bartlett, Dennis Leybold, Lois
Hill, Debbie Tischauser, Julie
Harrison and Jo Goff.
SKATEBOARD CLUB
Innerclub council has
approved Skateboard Club's
constitution. Skateboard
Club whose purpose is to help
people improve their
skateboarding ability, is in
the process of organizing a
team.

system than Miss Peterson's, and
thus more workable
Ray Bartley. Miss Peterson,
and Larry Taylor argued against
the WUey proposal. They
pointed out that the basic
weakness of the present
structure was that it forces
students arbitrarily into groups
(Biology, U.S. History, and
Modern Problems classes) from
which to vote. The Peterson
proposal, it was stated, provided
for freedom of choice.
The Peterson election
proposal will be included in the
newly revised student body
constitution. The entire
constitution will be voted on by
the students at a later date.
Officer Initiation
The next event scheduled for
the Future Business Leaders of
America (FBLA) will be the

members. This event will be held
on the evening of November 18.
The officers will be installed by
Mr. Ken Turnbull, the president
of Phi Beta Lamda and then the
