Ashland High School's Largest Class—108—Graduated Wednesday Evening 4 THIS AND THAT (By Old Timer) To me Editor: "On tame s eternal camping ground their silent tents are spread, and Glory guards with »ol­ eum round me Divouac of me i uead." W PB rules against trouser cuffs pleats, overcoat belts, patch pock­ ets and me uae make sense. But tne board s ban on two-pants suits is very questionable as a de­ vice tor tne conservation of cloth. Every man knows from experience that a coat will outwear a pair of trousers. For this reason many men have always bought two- pants suits. In fact, it might help m let a man buy a mi rd pair so long as his coat is serviceable and this would be getting the equiva­ lent ot tnree Victory suits with a saving ot two coats. The appearance of Ashland’s well kept streets is marred by un­ kempt parking lots, some border­ ing on the main thoroughfares. Residents who keep their premises clean and tidy are deserving of commendation for tneir manifesta­ tion ot civic pride and me powers mat be should show their appre­ ciation by directing a general ciean-up of ail eyesores forthwith. Remember wnen men w’ore ' “boiled" shirts, with bosoms starched as stiff as a board, along wim detachable cuffs, and with their feet encased in "toothpick” shoes ? Memorial Day symbolizes hero­ ism, service and sacrifice. o ASHLAND STL DENTS TO BOOST UNIVERSITY j 1 ! ■ « D'ft to right, from top: Lola Arllne Adolph, Dorothy Mar Allen, Lester W.
