Show TWIXT ANS AND TWEEN with OREN PROBERT 4 I 1 was thumbing through my too ele high school year book last night w ith hopes of finding an in for today s column I 1 found two one concerned a foot ball player the other a popular the football player was a mem I 1 ber of the class of 38 his open field running his speedy change of pace and his sportsmanship will long be remembered by football fans were ever he played he was potentially an all state halfback with great possibilities of becom ing a college star he lived clean he lived football for football was hiar hi life the only complaint he ever made was about his right leg which continually got hurt when we graduated that year I 1 left tooele thoele and moved to nevada two years later I 1 heard the news the football player I 1 am writ ing about became affected with paralysis it was a shock to every one who knew him it meant he vi t be playing football any it meant swapping the use of a leg for a pair of crutches the pains and agonies he en dured are unexplainable but he made a magnificent comeback which is typical of all great ath letes know knowing ing he could ne never er play again he decided to become a coach tooele thoele high school gave him the opportunity and he made good in 1944 the school year book was dedicated to him for the cour age and determination he display ed in over coming his handicap soon after he joined the coach ing staff of the rigby high school in idaho his football coaching rec ree ord to date is twenty eight wins and four losses his basketball teams are improving and he is now branching out to coach track sports followers fully expect to see him become one of the best high school coaches in the business yes I 1 doff my hat to such an enviable spirit and am certain you readers will join om me in wishing him well for he is dour our friend too he is the young man who goes a bout town on crutches as if he were in a hurry to get some place some folks call him keith white others put his name in the stew and out comes mulligan As for the popular phrase I 1 will quote this from a classmate of 1938 I 1 wonder what well we 11 be d do 0 ing ten years from now nowa it chasn t been ten years since that period of time but already the faces in my year book have chang ed in reality in another year the ten will be complete and even een then we will notice things to be differ ent than they are now things will have happened which we cannot foresee at the present time my year book will adest to this in 1938 the teachers and students of tooele thoele high school were at full strength we are being prepared to take our places in the future to day a portion of those teachers and students have passed to the great beyond through various forms of death they too wonder ed what they would be doing in 1848 perhaps they know now per haps they never will but at least their earthly destiny is complete we certainly wouldn t trade places with the dead but it makes us realize just how uncertain the fut ure is we ae ha have hae e a tendency to be lieve our chickens will be hatched tomorrow but this is like gamb ling our nests will be feathered in the f future by some strange and mystic power even though it is a known fact that gamblers even dually lose their shirts thus it would appear that life is nothing more than a gamble if so it would seem fitting to keep current with our personal acrivi ties we should always be prepared to meet our maker or prepared to leave our fellow men it sounds of doing what we can do today it is better for us to adopt a policy very brim to write such things but rather than putting it oft off until to morrow for perhaps tomorrow will be later in life than we think and it s for certain that we cannot come back from death to do that which we left undone I 1 have made mention of local street conditions from time to time I 1 had hoped that our city officials would drop into a chuckhole chuck hole by now and get bumped with the fact that there are improvements to make now I 1 have something else to bring to their attention at one time there was a drinking foun tain in front of russels brussels barber shop for some reason it was re moved but there is still a hole in the sidewalk where it stood this has caused some painful falls sev eral women have stumbled over the remains of the fountain and certain individuals have been ac aused of being drunk because some thing got mixed up with their feet one day the city will have a law suit to settle unless they get a little cement and prevent such an occasion from arising it would be better still if they would replace the drinking fountain and install an additional number throughout the city I 1 would like to put in a plug for andys andy s shop since his fire sale there has been a noticeable de dine cline in business the town mer chants did their share in giving him urn an original start now its it s up to 0 o us remember every extra step we take to patronize him will go a long ways in making his steps brighter it its s getting so a person can cant t sleep because the fire siren is continually sounding off I 1 wish folks would become more fire conscious so the fire department wouldn t have so much work to do out at our work we have found a new source of entertainment dur ing the he lunch period we ne attend boxi boxing g exhibitions put on b by paul perkins matt jackson and norman bridgewater these are the fellows we read so much about in the salt lake papers generally one has to pay to see them in action but all we have to do is say thanks and an additional thanks to three swell sports you guys are made of the stuff that makes men popular I 1 received a telephone call ask ing me to declare my politics well the democrats haven t done any thing the Republicans raven t any thing to offer so I 1 in neither with all the new parties that are form ing I 1 wouldn t be surprised though if someone were to introduce win ston churchill as opposition to hen ry wallace in the next presidential campaign if that comes w we e 11 put wallace on the damoc democratic batic put our mark under the rooster and let him crow |
