Springville tallied their second shutout in the region, with a 2-0 win against the fourth-ranked fourth-ranked Lions. The Lady Devils played very well and with an amazing defense; the Lions just couldn't seem to get control of the ball. The score remained tied at 0-0 for the first half, but Crosby Joyner gave Springville the lead early on in the second half. The defense did not seem to wear down, despite the lack of substitutes due to injuries, in-juries, and Brittany Poulson showed her skill as goalie. Karissa Henage scored the second point, nailing a free kick shot into the near post. The seemingly unstoppable Red Devils were walking all over the Lions, and their fifth win put them at 50-1 in the region. Thursday's game was almost opposite of Tuesday's game, with the Bulldogs beating Springville to the ball time and time again. "We should have been more aggressive," said Brittany Siddoway, forward. Crosby Joyner scored the team's only goal in the first half. The game remained tied at 1-1 until un-til near the end of the game, when the Bulldogs Bull-dogs sunk a penalty kick, sealing the Provo victory. Springville is still ranked first in the region, re-gion, with 16 total points, followed very closely by Timpview with 15 points and a regional re-gional record of 5-2-0.

SMs classes teach -w, we reality of life :- ; ' ; ". ; I Blaine Adams ; ' I - I SHS STAFF WRITER i English; close the text- book Science; scrap the ex--periment. -It's-a -high school, and the hallways are crowded with students complaining about that missing math assignment assign-ment or unwritten literature paper. Kids file into their physics classes slowly, as though it were a chore, and eagerly wait for the bell to signal the end of class. 3 . The startling monotony of class-to-class academia begins be-gins to get stuffy; escape arrives ar-rives in the form of several skills classes, such as food and nutrition, sewing and clothing design, and drafting and photography. Although these classes ' may be regarded as rigorous, rigor-ous, there is a relaxed atmosphere atmos-phere to these classes that cannot be found in traditional tradition-al classes. Of course, math and English may have a very 'relaxed environment and comfortable feel as well,' but due to their academic nature, many students find themselves them-selves asking, "Why do we have to learn this?" This is a comment rarely heard in sewing. One enters the classroom to find dozens of kids - skills classes are never empty - working diligently. dili-gently. They are talking while patiently waiting for machines, or asking their teacher, Ann Penrod, how to make a particular stitch. The kids are working hard, but the kids also appear to enjoy themselves. And for once, they don't ask, "Why do we have to learn this?" These students seem to know the answer, as anyone who has ever ripped a shirt and possessed the skill to mend the tear knows well. There is something found in these classes - knowledge found outside of a book - that helps the students to understand under-stand the value of the experience. experi-ence. "I think they learn a lot of life skills," comments Ann Penrod as a student approaches ap-proaches and asks for help on a particular piece. Looking Look-ing around the classroom, one notices the kids are creating cre-ating something. It is precisely precise-ly this quality that helps make the classes a substantial substan-tial part of student life. Kurt Sargent, a junior involved in-volved in the photography class, taught by Brent Finch, the photography and drafting draft-ing teacher, believes these classes exist "for the students stu-dents that need the hands-on experience, that don't learn by seeing." Kurt describes the relief felt in a class that allows for students to finally participate in something real, not a nypothetical problem on a math page. Escape from math may be reason enough to indulge in such classes as photography and drafting, but Finch insists in-sists that there is another, far more powerful reason to attend at-tend skills classes. "They learn a skill they can use throughout their life," he said. Acknowledging the importance im-portance of such "hands-on experience," he mentions that many of the classes are "occupation-based" and prepare pre-pare students for "entry-level positions." Starr Jepson, the Food and Nutrition teacher, looks proudly around her classroom, and, when asked if she enjoys teaching her students the skills necessary to live a healthy life, says simply, "Of course I do, or else I'd quit!" r tii IM) nann 717 North Main, Springville 489-3698 We will match any competitor's written ad on any product we sell.
