My very favorite toy is my clown Gussie, and guess who made it. I must be luckiest kid around cause my grandparents are my best friends. by Sharece Young 5th grade-lst place How I Can Make Friends Friends are something I will need throughout fny entire life. But, why do I need friends? I would be very lonely if I had no one to do things with. At least two are needed to play most games. There would be no sleepovers, no one to throw a ball to. Riding a bicycle is exciting and enjoyable when you can ride and talk with someone else. Working with others on a scout activity is a better and quicker way to learn and get things done. I would have no one to share my ups and downs with, without others, life would be very boring. Most things are better when shared with others. Telling someone about my visit to Disneyland helps me remember the experience more. I feel very happy and excited all over again. When I share a sad time with a friend it makes it easier to bear. It gives me a feeling that somebody cares about me. Before I can have a friend, I must be my own 'friend; I need to like myself and the things I am doing. You can't build another person up without something to build them up with. For example, I can't make someone else happy without first being happy myself. People don't like to be around others that are gloomy, that are always brooding about some dumb thing. It just isn't any fun. I'd rather be at a funeral. I need to be happy and smile sincerely to attract friends. I also need to be the kind of person who can make people happy, instead of others always trying to keep my happy all the time. I need to set some personal standards for myself and keep them. The same standards I look for in friends are the qualities that others are looking for in me. Being honest and trustworthy trust-worthy are things I must be. I expect my friends to be alo. I can be a friend to others by trying to keep the conversation on them and not myself. Nobody likes to be around someone who is always bragging and talking about himself. This makes others feel like you don't care about them. Another way to make friends is to ask the right kind of questions. These questions should bring out common interests and goals. Getting to know another helps in understanding un-derstanding and decreases the gap between two people. It brings people together. By being a happy person, smiling, liking myself first, and asking the right questions, I can make friends. These things will be important for me to use and remember all my life, by Greg Wheeler -October 31, 1984 - The Springville Herald - Page Eleven ELECT TIM MOEAK ' Ml i TO WORK FOR YOU Proven Leadership Mayor Spanish Fork 12 years City Councilman 6 years Education Principal and School Teacher 35 years Member Governor's Advisory Council Member Utah Law Enforcement Planning Agency Member Judical Nominating Committee, 4th Judical District Experienced in Legislative Activities as President of Utah League of Cities and Towns Graduate BYU, B.S., M.S. degrees Veteran World War II Numerous Civic and Church Leadership Positions UTAH HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 66 Spanish Fork, Mapleton, S.W.
