JOHN DUNN GETS JORDAN DISTRICT CONTRACT At a meeting of the Jordan School District Board of Education helJ in the High School Building June 3rd, the contracts for building two teachers' dormitories, one at Bluffdale and one at Butler, were awarded to John Dunn, contractor of Midvale. 'rhese buildings will cost approximately $7,600 each and must be completed by Sept. 1.

Mrs. Mitchell was formerly Miss Virg-inia ¥\1hite of Cedar City and has been connected with the Midvale Schools for the past two years. Miss Veda Hansen spent Sunday and Monday at her home in Provo.

('ated, one writer ~uys of !Jim: "lie is a nonconformis t a n d proud of it. llis cue Is to find om what tl.ic,se as~o dated with him think Is wise, and then to do his best in embarrassing them in realizing the success of th!:'ir undertaking. He Is of the team but nerer with iL He ne\·er wants to go tn the !!arne direction us the rest, at the same time. Jt seems though he makes It his business to find out what his supposed friends and nllles want to do, nod then opposes it." A great muny people feel that it shows wisdom to tlnd fault with whatever Is bPing done, to pick tlaws in whatever se~s to have In It virtue or merit, to pull In th~ opposite dl· rectlon. 'J'hey have no ldl.'a of tbe meaning of co-operation; they have never realized the power of team work. Robbins Is a nonconformist. He thinks most of our social eustoms pop· py-cock, and be considers It a \"irtue to ignore them. For yeurs he refused to wear a necktie. It wns only when golfers and ~oung sportsmen began running about with their shirt collars open that Robbins toolol to cravats. No one bas ever been able to get him Into evening clothes. He wears an old-fashioned cut-a-way coat while do· lug bls chores about the bouse. and gets Into a bmHness suit when he Is dressing for any formal function. Be eats his salad with a spoon nn<l drinks tea from a saucer, and considers him· selt a reformer, while other people look upon him as something of a boob. Young Spradling Is another variety of the nonconformist. He thinks Mr. Volstead was crazy when he conceived prohibition; he pays no attention to the law. Nothing gives him so great a thrill as to tlrlnk publicly and copiously. Thlrty·flve miles an hour, the llmlt prescribed by law for motor· ing along the highway, Is a snail's pace, and Spradling hits twice that );lace with Impunity. When be Is arrested he ralls against the injustice of limiting his progress with stop sfgns and traffic laws. Anything wj1icb attempts to keep Sunday quiet and orderly puts him Into 11 frrnzy. Why is Sunday better than any other day, he'd like to know? Any such conventions as chaperons and early hours for retiring, and ruidvictorlan proprieties he consigns to the lower regions. Jones was trying out for the basket bali team last winter. He bud a theory of his own as to how the game should be played, a theory which was quite at variance with the Ideas of tllP coach. Be wanted to ploy his own game In his own wny, and so fur 1111 he could see, the other fellows wer~ all wet, which ls merely another way of saying that they didn't know what they were doing. Jones didn't make the team because he refused to cou· form. It Is true In life that the noncon· formist usually Is relegated to the side lines. ((C). 191~.
