'Harvey Vallbanger Forever'
Inked In As Desktop Scrawling
by Dale Nelson
"Where were you when the
lights went out?", "Are you
human?", "Boing", "Love Con
quers", and "Harvey Wallbanger
Forever" may be found scrawled
on desks tops, as well as the
interminable "John loves Mary"
variety of messages.
Kxpensive Damage
"Considerable damage", said
Principal Gaylord Smith is
wrought on mainly desks with
wooden tops. Each year many
Graffitli board adorns the wall of H-3S. Purpose of the board is to allow
students to print their gratfitti in a creative way rather than writing on
bathroom walls or desks.
Wright Commander-in-Chief of Stats
by Joseph
It was the classic battle be
tween Ashland and Grants Pass.
The Cavemen shot swished the
net but only one point was
added to the scoreboard. The
Grants Pass squad, coaches and
rooters swarmed about the table.
This 1957 controversial game
gave Harry Wright his first
opportunity to keep basketball
statistics at Ashland High. And
he's been doing it ever since.
Wright's predecessor had
added an extra point on the board
after a Caveman basket. To
compensate for this mistake, he
added only one point on the next
(rants Pass two-pointer. The
score was proved right, and the
next week Wright became commander-in-chief
of the score
keeper's table.
Wright, who teaches chem
istry, has "kept the books" from
football to basketball to baseball.
Besides tiring up his free time
by keeping statistics for Ashland
High sports, Wright is also re
sponsible for notifying the Daily
Tidings, Med ford Tribune. Ore
gonian and Oregon Journal of the
games' results.
Following is a line-score of
Wright's 1090 activities in sports

wooden desk tops have to be
relinished at a cost of about three
to four dollars each. "It's ridicu
lous, there's no reason for it",
Smith said, commenting on the
writing and drawing found on
desks. In addition to the desk
damage, of course, is the damage
wrought on other items of furni
ture and other school property,
such as the cushioned seats in the
English lecture hall.
Possible Solution
But a partial solution may have
'
Hawk
over the past seventeen years:
Basketball 330 varsity, 3 3 0
jayvee, 120 sophomore and
freshmen games.
Football 100 games.
Baseball 100 home games.
Wrestling 40 home meets.
Track 40 meets.
Cross country 30 home meets.
According to the inscription on
the back of the gold watch given
him for his diligent work, Wright
is not scheduled to retire from
keeping statistics until 1988.
By the way, we won that
controversial battle 37-33.

been found for the students who
are compelled to display their
literary and artistic prowess in
the less acceptable ways of
writing on school property. In
English teacher Don Vondracek's
class, a long strip of butcher
paper has been attached to the
wall with masking tape, for the
sole purpose of affording a less
expensive outlet for graffiti.
After being posted, the once
blank paper was swiftly crowded
with hundreds of jokes and
comments. Among other items, a
mediocrity poll citing television
shows such as The Partridge
Family and Gunsmoke was dis
played, an ad for Penthouse
magazine which brought forth
comments on the exploitation of
women, and a round-robin comic
strip.
PE Classes
Enjoy Dancing
Although Dick Copple has
traded his silver spats in for a
pair of red Addidas, he can still
trip the light fantastic.
As an extremely popular side
light of the P.F.. curriculum,
courses in social dancing have
been presented.
The class is under the watchful
eyes and tapping toes of P.E.
teachers Copple, Betty Kimball,
Trudy Peterson and Tim Brown.
The two-week stint, as square
dancing did earlier, drew inter
ested students out of study hall
and over to the gym.
Waltzes, fox trots, tangos and
jitterbugs characterized the
types of dances.
Miss Peterson said, "It's been
a success in that the kids have
learned what they were supposed
to. Also, the kids found that they
can enjoy social dancing."
"I really like it," said Senior
Debbie Coghill. "I'm not going to
be able to dance those modern
ones all my life."
Not everybody agreed, how
ever. Sophomore Mark Levison
said, "I guess it's okay, but it's
too slow."
