Diaper - garbed sophomores
decorated the campus at Ashland
High as the first week of school
started.
Organized initiation, approved
by the Administration, was
prepared for newcomers by the
senior class.
At an assembly on the first day
of school, Associated Student
Body President Dave Jensen
related the initiation rules to the
sophomores and what was ex
pected of them during this period.
Sophs In Diapers
All sophomores, on the second
day of school, were to show up
wearing diapers. Many sopho
more boys complied, while there
were fewer girls in diapers.
Along with the use of diapers,
sophomores were urged to use
only the lavatories outside the
cafeteria. Sophomores with
seniors in their classes were to
remain standing until their elders
were seated.
Students Cause
Computer Error
Did you end up in a wrong class
this year?
Did your instructor mispro
nounce or misspell your name?
If you can answer "yes" to any
of these three questions, don't
blame the computers that did
your registering. It's more than
likely that it was your fault.
Computer registration has
been used at Ashland High School
for four years. According to
Vice-Principal Bud Silver com
puter registration has cut down
on the "noise, chaos, and
confusion; biting and hitting"
that was prevalent when students
registered themselves.
Computers Are Faster
Computers quicken the process
of registering. Computers do not
go into nervous breakdowns when
a student's preferences clash.
But one thing computers are not
responsible for is the mistakes
that are made by mortals.
t'nlegible registration sheets
had led to a few students getting
unwanted classes. Two boys,
whose names were not disclosed
by the office, found themselves in
Girls' Physical Education.
Problems Lie With Students
"The big problem," cited
Silver, "lies not in the computer
but in the student." Silver
believes that with the ever
increasing use of data process
ing, a student can cut down on
computer mistakes by keeping
two points in mind:
1 ) The student should give
deep consideration to the
classes that he wants.
2) The student should print
legibly.
So, as computers become more
and more a part of our everyday
lives, a state of humanized
mechanized equilibrium can be
reached if the student remem
bers one thing: "Computers don't
make the mistakes, humans do."

Sophomores approached by
seniors wearing special pins had
to admit their own inferiority by
saying: "Seniors are superior."
Pencil Rolling Frowned I'pon
"I am not enamored by
pencilrolling," cited Principal
Gaylord Smith. "I don't like to
see kids being abused. It eventu
ally ends up in problems, with
fights." According to Smith,
violators of this rule will be
sternly punished. "I do, how
ever," continued Smith, "agree
with initiation in an organized
and sensible manner."
All and all, however, the
sophomores were officially initi
ated, and. at the same time,
became an active part of the
Associated Student Body.

players trudged up the side of the
mountain to repaint it.

the rest of the football team drove
four 4-wheel drive pick-ups up the
