UNITED NATIONS By Margie Snyder The 24th Annual Model United Nations event that took place last week at the University of Utah turned into a model of international inter-national mele and scandal. scan-dal. This state-wide function func-tion was very similar to the actual UN. The functions func-tions were haunted by terrorist attacks, bombings bomb-ings and assassinations of foreign dignitaries. One of the victims of murder was a delegate from Moab's own Argentinian delegation, Dudly Irish. Take into heart that the chaos was model also. In the opening ceremonies cere-monies of MUN the high school students were addressed ad-dressed by the actual UN ambassador from Egypt. During the three-day course of events, press delegates Margie Snyder and Mary Walker put forth their best efforts to publish the MUN newspaper, news-paper, The Observer. At the closing ceremonies ceremon-ies awards were given to outstanding delegates. Out of the Moab delegation dele-gation Dudly Irish and liana Kindree of the Disarmament Committee and Kathy Shafer and Sheila Mayberry of the World Health Organization Organiza-tion won third place awards for their efforts. There were 1,383 delegates dele-gates from various Utah high schools involved. The delegates from Moab all felt that their MUN experience was educational edu-cational and fun, but they departed the functions solemnly because it was announced that this was the last Model United Nations to take place as a part of Utah education. The local delegation traveled under the sponsorship spon-sorship of Donna Brown-ell Brown-ell and Maralee Roberts. FINDING LNJURIES By Terry Hunt Searching a victim's body to find all injuries is the topic which the first aid class at Grand County High has been studying. Mr. Glen Richeson, the teacher, picks a person to be a victim and one to be the first aid person. Mr. Richeson would then give the victim a situation to act out. The first aid person would then try to find out what is wrong by feeling for injuries and by asking questions. This is a very effective practice used by the teacher to prepare the students for a real emergency. Also the first aid class finished the CPR course (cardio pulmonary respiration) respi-ration) which deals with heart attacks. The final test must have been passed with 15 or less mistakes to receive a CPR card. INDUSTRIAL ARTS By Curt Brewer Two superiors, six first places and fourteen second sec-ond places were brought home by the Grand County High School industrial in-dustrial arts students from woodworking competition at Southern Utah State College last week. Two superiors were Greg Lar-sen Lar-sen with his Grandfather clock and Gary Lawley with his roll-top desk. First place winners for Moab were Jeff Leonard, china cabinet; Brent Richeson, Rich-eson, bed; Gary Hanson, checker table; Wes Key, china cupboard; Scott Winfield, pool table; and Robert Winfield, chest of drawers. According to Al Heaton, industrial arts teacher, there were 30 schools participating in the event all the way from Las Vegas to Salt Lake. Also Moab brought home a second place win and Mr. Heaton was pleased with Moab's results. SOFTBALL ENDS By Jim Key The Grand County High School Intramural Softball i9 over. The teams stopped stop-ped showing up to play softball and were having to forfeit so Mr. Kurt Roberts said, "There will be no more softball for intramurals. Everyone is invited to come to the Middle School field to play softball, just go and we will choose up teams and play." Last week the Jazz and the Golden Nuggets both had to forfeit when neither team had enough players to play.
