By SHARON SUMMERS
Periodic fire drills at Klamath

by the Oregon state law.
The fire drill held Friday, Oc
tober 11, was primarily for the
500 new students who had never
before experienced one. It revealed
that although a major exit is
blocked by construction, the stu
dents left the building within one
and one-half minutes.

Report Card
Time Nears
By SUSAN BRETCHES
Horrors! Report card time is ap
proaching. This means a fatal end
to many enjoyable evenings of tele
vision viewing.
Time is running out for those
students who have waited so long
to make up that last test, or get
in that missed assignment. Some
students will be vary disappointed
and so will their parents. The
point that is hard to remember is
that it's not the teacher's fault if
the work isn't completed.
Think about il. students, try to
buckle down and really work. Re
member there are not many days
left.

Job Training Aids Students
By CHARLES JARRETT
"Distributive education trains
students and serves the public,"
pointed out Mr. John Lake, instruc
tor of retail selling, Room 204.
There are ' forty-five students
participating in a vocational train
ing program operating through
state and local school systems to
provide specialized education for
those persons entering or already
employed in retail, wholesale and
service occupations. Actually, re
tail selling as it is called in this
high school, is the same thing as
distributive education. D. E.
trained workers are on the job in
thousands of retail stores and busi
nesses, large and small, in towns
and cities of the nation.

in distributive occupations. Per
haps you have noticed the display
window next to Room 204 which is
carefully and well designed by Mr.
Lake's class.
Retail selling serves t h e mer
chant and the wholesalers. Helps
meet the need for trained person
nel, decreases initial costs, lowers
turnover, improves job satisfaction,
job performance, and morale of
workers through inservice training.
This training also helps the man
ufacturer. Distributive education
builds business by improving point-of-sales
service and provides bet
ter trained salespeople to promote
this product in any kind of store
where it may be sold.
Distributive education affords
opportunity to acquire special in
formation and skills to improve job
performance and prepare for in
creased responsibility, therefore
helping the employer.
Then, too, retail selling serves
the student by supplementing his
basic educational background by
specialized and on-the-job training
in his chosen occupation; provides
a chance to earn while he learns,
and permits him to enter the full
time labor market as a trained,
experienced worker.
Because of congestion of school
phones, students are asked to use
the public telephone in the hall for
personal calls.
Bulletin Board
By SANDRA BURNEY
One of the many items that
draws student interest is the of
fice bulletin board. Mr. Paul Ang
stead, assistant principal of Klam
ath Union High School, is in charge
of keeping the bulletin board up
to date.
Engagements, weddings, joining
the armed services, and other
events affecting students and past
students of KUHS are recorded on
the bulletin board. Students are
welcome to see them during the
day before or after school or
through the noon hour, in the main
office.
Library Group

Klamath Union High School are
held every first Tuesday of the
month.
In order to qualify for member
ship a student must be working

trip abroad during the past sum
mer. Dues for this club are 50 cents
a year and the members may also
order pins if they wish.
This club's main money-making
project is serving at the faculty
meetings.
Halloween's
History Told
By MARIE ARNOLD
Who would think that Halloween,
a time of spooks and witchcraft,
originated in a Christian religious
ceremony! Yet that is just what
happened.
The ancient Romans observed
Feralia, a day set apart for pray
ing for the martyrs who had died
for some noble cause of religion
or country. Probably here is the
source of superstitions concerning
spirits and ghosts since it so defi
nitely concerns the dead.
When the Romans discovered the
"misty isle" of Britain, the Cells,
a pagan people, inhabited it. Sam
hain, meaning summer's end, was
a very important festival, for
through this the Celtic tribes wit
nessed a formal end of the harvest
season.
All Hallows was the new name
that Rome gave Feralia. All Hal
low Eve, the evening before, fell
on the same day as the old Celtic
Samhain. As can be expected,
since the two ceremonies were
celebrated simultaneously, they in
termingled and today it is honored
as Halloween.
In Ireland the fairies are the
dominate symbol. Europe is beset
by witches, and what a gruesome
and intriguing atmosphere they
bring forth!
Exodus 22:18 reads, "Thou shalt
not suffer a witch to live." From
this holy excerpt comes the most
pagan belief which existed for cen
turies. This quotation was plucked
from Its context and background
and man added his invalid mean
ing so that it became the death
sentence for many.
The modern version of Halloween
is rollicking fun, superstitious
spells, and eerie games. Yet a his
tory as ancient as Rome is be
hind this day which we so gaily
celebrate.
