Each year fifteen students

trict. Five students at a time are

on April 7.
Activities for the students in
clude visits to the Senate, Legis
lature, Smithsonian Institution,
the Treasury department and
other governmental offices.
Both Miss Harder and Anderson
are hopeful of selection for
similar reasons. Miss Harder
said, "I'm interested in politics
and I think that it's a good chance
to learn about them." She felt
that the "opportunity to see
government in action" would be
helpful. She said, "I want to be
politically involved."
Anderson said the visit would
"give me a chance to see
Congress in action. I'm not
ing and shorthand.
"Each school can enter three
person in each event," said
FBLA advisor Flora McCracken.
"We anticipate there will be
groups from Grants Pass, Rose

SOC Summer Session Outlined
Southern Oregon College's 1973
summer session will include a
"pre-session" of workshops June
11-16, regular summer time
courses, june 18 August 10, and a
"post-session" program August
13-24.
There are no pre-requisite ac
ademic requirements for admis
sion to the summer session, as
there are for the fall, winter and
spring terms. This presents a
good opportunity fur high school
students to get some of their
college credit hours in advance
and eliminate possible stress
over too many courses while
attending college.
Courses offered during the
summer session cover a wide
variety of academic fields, such
as business, teacher education,
the humanities, physical educa
tion, sociology, the sciences and
mathematics.
Many workshops, seminars &
special institutes of varying du
rations will be offered to all
students in the "pre" and "post"
sessions as well as during por
tions of the regular four week and
eight week sessions.

Last year's attendance system
is back at Ashland Senior High
School.
It helps cut down on the
number of students skipping
class, according to Attendance
Officer, George Findley.
"It was eliminated last year
because many teachers thought it
was too much of a hassel"
commented Findley. Teachers
had to hold up classes while a
student went to the office to get
an excuse. This bothered some
teachers.
Findley added, "It was brought
back again recently because it is
a much more efficient method of
keeping track of where students
are."
The attendance system that
was used from the beginning of
this school year up to February
20th allowed much more freedom
'Shane' Viewed By Juniors
Although missing the spotlight
of 20th Century-Fox or the spin
ning globe of Universal Studios,
the film Shane was presented to
juniors as an aid to instruction in
U.S. history.
Helped explain Controversey
Juniors, who were studying a
unit in western expansion, view
ed the film to help explain the
controversy between cattle
ranchers and homesteaders pre
valent in the mid-1800's.
The film which starred Alan
Alda, Van Heflin and Jack
Palance is considered by direc
tors as an epic modern western.

among students. Students could
be off campus, as long as they
checked out in the office. Each
student was placed on an honor
system and was responsible for
checking in and out.
"Many students abused the
system and cut classes." said
Dean of Boys, William Mearns.
He continued, "we could not keep
track of where they (the stu
dents) were when they skipped,
and every student is the school's
responsibility during school
hours."
I'nder the revived system, a
Master Attendance Sheet will be
made and distributed to teachers
by second period. If anyone who
was absent during these periods
return, he will need to carry a
green-slip to the rest of his
classes. Only first and seventh

Film Gave Accurate View
"It was a great film ;" said U.S.
history teacher Dick Krom
minga, "it depicted things as
records show they really were."
This general opinion was held by
the other members of the U.S.
department.
Kromminga does not know if
other feature-length films will be
shown ; it will depend on finances.
"I'd like to have a film for the
World War II unit," said Kromm
inga, "but it costs $250 each to
borrow Patton and Tor a. Tora,
Tora. That much money for one
movie is too much to pay."

and Satire
The play centers around the
lead man and lady who were once
married but now divorced. Com
lications arise between the two
and arguing, fighting and mak-ing-up
all become part of the
drama.
"Most lead singing characters
in the play will probably come
from the Choir," said Drama
Club advisor Gerald Merryman.
The Drama Club will be direct
ing the production and in charge
of all props and details. "Anyone
interested must either be in Choir
or have 5th period free." said
Merryman.
Choir Director, Everett Winter
said "I'll consider anyone for
lead roles that is interested and
can sing."
The cost of the production will
run about $900.
"1 expect 5 sell-out houses to
help pay for the cost of the
production," said. Merryman.
Cost of the play will be 12.00 for
adults and $1.00 for students.
