THE BLUE JAY ’61 Published by SENIOR CLASS Ashland High School Ashland, Kansas.

S., we offer this yearbook as the fulfillment of our final senior goal. The Bluejay Staff wishes to preserve all we hold dear in A. H, S. through the pictures we are presenting in our yearbook. « — Editor................Melba Larrick Assistant Editor. .
