holding category, and will re

Many band students paid their
way either partially or com
pletely through selling band
calendars. The band as a unit
paid only a portion of the overall
cost of the trip with individual
students taking most of the
responsibility for thcr share of
the expenses.
Later this spring, Ashland will
host the University of Oregon's
Wind Ensemble and the Parkrose
and Forest Grove Bands.
District Champs
The Lady Bears concluded
their 1972 gymnastics season with
the District No. 6 crown, an 8-4
dual meet record and a fifth place
finish at the State Championships
held in Portland, March 10.
Under the coaching of Betty
Kimball and Patricia Selby, the
girls enjoyed a very successful
season overall. The gymnasts
provided the first district cham
pionship in the school's history.
The girls upset the defending
champions of the two previous
years, Klamath Union, and
pre-meet favorites, the Lakeview
Honkers, who had defeated the
Ashland team twice before,
during dual meet competition
earlier in the season. This meant
a journey to Portland State
University and competition
against such top teams from the
north as David Douglas, South
Eugene. Corvallis and Wilson
High Schools. The northern
teams' longer established pro
grams proved to be a bit much for
the AHS gymnasts.
Pam Hoffbuhr was the only
Lady Bear to qualify individually
for the State Meet. With the top
four performers in each event
advancing to the State competi
tion. Miss Hoffbuhr was first on
the balance beam, second on
floor exercise, third in uneven
parallel bars, fourth in vaulting
and had a second place allaround
finish behind Wanda Harris of
Lakeview.
Three Other AHS gymnasts
qualified for the finals in district
competition. They were Sharon
Hill and Kathleen McClure on the
uneven parallel bars and fresh
man, Terry McClure on the
balance beam. Miss Kimball
commented that both "Kathleen
and Sharon gave their best
routines of the season" during
preliminary bar competition.
Projects To
Complete with books, curtains,
tables, chairs and a new coat of
paint, the Reading Room was
officially opened last Friday,
March 10 and Innovations Com
mittee is now looking ahead to
other projects.
Completed At Last
Although the idea for a Reading
Room arose last year, tangible
progress on the project began
only last Christmas.
This new facility, with its
relaxed yet quiet atmosphere,
provides an alternative to the
cafeteria and library for students
during Study Hall. It will be open
all day, every school day and will
have a monitor each period.
Parent-Student Exchange
Among Innovations Commit
tee's present plans is a Parent
Student Exchange Week similar
to last year's. According to
President Marv Davis, the Ex
fifc-v "r---: " n
' ' f. f . ; ...... - '
The Reading Room, with a student lounge atmosphere, opened last
Friday. Students may go there during their free time to read or relax.
Place Fifth
Loading after the first two
events by a little over one point,
optimism grew as their strongest
event, floor exercise was yet to
come. Balance beam had been
one of the girls' weaker events
this season but with the perform
ances of Julie Davics, Miss Hill,
Miss Hoffbuhr, and Terry Mc
Clure, they took the team title for
the beam competition.
Smith To Lose
Veto Power?
Bargaining between the Exe
cutive Council and principal Mr.
Gaylord Smith over the proposed
new Ashland High School Consti
tution is nearing completion,
according to Student Body Presi
dent Pat Overand. Within two
weeks the Student Body should be
able to vote on the final copy of
the constitution.
Veto Power Removed
The question of letting students
handle their finances without the
possibility of intervention by the
administration is the major issue
yet to be resolved. Previously,
the principal has had the power to
veto any use of the Student Body
Fund which he felt to be a misuse.
The new constitution, as pre
sented to Mr. Smith, proposed
that the principal's veto power
over the use of the Student Body
Fund be removed.
Reasons For Removal of Veto
This change was suggested
because the fund is raised
entirely by the Student Body
itself and should, therefore, be
entirely at its disposal. The
power to veto has not been used in
25 years.
After the new constitution
emerges from the bargaining
stage, it will be peresented to
Student Council for approval.
Then it will be put before the
Student Body for a vote.
Commence
change will take place the week
of April 3 through April 7.
During that week a student's
parent may replace his child at
school for a day. Participating
parents are to be treated as
students and are responsible for
all in-class work that day.
Students are encouraged to
replace their parents on the job,
if possible, rather than take the
day off. The purpose of such an
exchange is to allow a greater
degree of understanding between
parents and students.
Flexible Scheduling
Tentatively, Innovations Com
mittee also hopes to sponsor a
demonstration week of the pro
posed new flexible scheduling
system near the end of the year.
Progress in this area, however,
has been slowed by the administration.
