Show "5 J 5 K Our Schools no ' ''JK " i -it an . until ihI" aracteri Sketches By Beverly Petersen She lay on the bed her long, dark hair spread around her face like a frame. In contrast, her pitifully thin face was deadly pale. In dark hollows her eyes, with their long dark lashes, lay closed. She had a small nose and a fairly small, beautifully beau-tifully shaped, faintly pink mouth. Slowly the lifeless body became conscious. The girl realized how her head ached painfully. Her eyes fluttered open to reveal deep blue irises. The contents of the room blurred, then steadied as she looked look-ed through them. Her mind could not stay on a simple subject and her thoughts wandered from her family, to her accident, to her aching head, and whirled around and around. Her covers were straight with hardly a wrinkle in them. The hump where her thin body lay was much too small. As her mind stayed on the accident acci-dent for a longer time than usual she gave a frightened scream. She saw again the car swerving dizzily toward her, heard the crash, remembered re-membered the surprise at finding herself in the hospital, and her shock and grief when told she had had both legs amputated. She remembered how she hadn't at first believed her doctor, until she had seen for herself, she thot of her extreme horror and sorrow, and the sickness which had prevailed pre-vailed since from it. She felt strangely hollow inside as she thought of the great ambition she had had to become a great and famous dancer. Suddenly her heart lightened as she heard a light knock on the door and a small fairy-like child skipped in. She knew not who the child was, only that she visited her every day and always brought some small gift to her. The child sat down and chattered in her own sweet way for a short period of time, then with a swift tender kiss on the girl's cheek, got up and left. With a light, happier heart the girl closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Yes, this was a strange girl. Heart-broken over the loss of her legs, dreams and ambitions, but with a heart so lonesome and loving lov-ing that a child she didn't even know could make her so much happier. My Aunt By Jane Nelson One of my favorite Aunts is my Aunt Ruth. She is a short woman, about 45 years of age. She usually dresses in bright colors because they are very becoming to her gray hair. Aunt Ruth has five child- ren attending school at the present time. Her one boy is attending the University of Utah; two girls are in high school, and the two younger young-er girls are attending elementary school. Aunt Ruth is a wonderful painter, . and she has done many paintings. Aunt Ruth took art classes for 6 years and has done a painting for each one of her brothers and sisters. sis-ters. She has also sold a lot of her paintings. One of Aunt Ruth's favorite hobbies hob-bies is raising African violets. She has just built a new house and in it she has made a flower room, in which she has about 85 different differ-ent varieties of violets. Besides just raising the violets, she also sells them. Aunt Ruth also likes to sew a lot. She sews just about all her family's clothes, and she sews a lot for other people, too. For instance, in-stance, she makes costumes for dance reviews, Christmas programs, and for many other programs and events. I think Aunt Ruth is a very capable cap-able woman. She is used in many activities of her community, and does a very good job in everything she does. Character Sketch of My Brother By Rhea Erickson My brother's name is Willard Ray.

I think this would help us and we would have some place to go once in awhile and meet with the other guys. If they would put up any kind of a deal I think it would help., I think that the people in office just don't want to be bothered both-ered with it, and for than reason nothing is done. Maybe that is why we have so much trouble. Wanted Drivers' Training by Dean Perkins (9th grade English) I think we should have drivers training here. When they had it last year it was a good deal and some of the students parents wanted them to get their drivers license so they could help on errands such as going about a mile to the farm to do chores without having to'be driven or break the law and drive the car. Some parents may have to take the students to school then come and get them at night. The drivers that have had drivers dri-vers training are usually better and safer drivers. In Idaho when the boys and girls reach the age 'of fourteen they can get a drivers license that entitles them to drive in the light hours. If they can drive at fourteen we should be entitled to drive after a training course at the age of 15 hi. I think we should get someone to teach drivers training for a safer Delta in years to come. Wanted a Place to Learn to Drive by W. Ken Bishop (9th grade English) I don't like the problem of pre-aged pre-aged drivers not having a place to go . to le'arn to drive a car. I think that if the cops want to stop the kids from driving, they could do it if they had some place to go to learn to drive. The kids are having a real rough time learning to drive and I know, because I am one of them. All we ever do is dodge the cops. Why don't some of you so called good citizens do something about it? I know plenty of people who would back you up. Girls Dancing with Girlsl Kol by Richard Warnick (9th grade English) It should not be done! This is the verdict an girls dancing with each other. If they do not have enough nerve to go ask a boy to dance with them, they should not dance at all!! A lot of the trouble is the boys don't like girls that dance with one another because it makes them think they don't like to dance with the boys. So let's hope we don't have any more of this! Girls Dancing With Girlsl Yes) by Dana Kae Ogden I think I'm speaking for most girls in the Jr. High School. I think we should be able to dance in the socials for a couple of dances. If the boys would ask the girls at first, then we wouldn't dance together so much. I think that most girls would be glad to teach the boys to jitterbug. jit-terbug. I think we should have more socials soc-ials during the school hours. I think the girls should be able to dance if they want to. More Dancing Problemsl by Joyce Hill (9th grade English) The boys are always griping a- bout the socials we have at noon, because the girls get in pairs and jitterbug. When it is girls' choice, they get right out and ask the boys to dance, but when it is boys' choice, they always hesitate to ask the girls. If the boys want to learn how to jitterbug, if they would only ask the girls to teach them I know they would be glad to. What Good Are Words? by Kathleen Nickle (9th grade English) A group of kids get on a corner and begin talking. "Why doesn't somebody get something for us to do?" they say. Does this talk do any good? No! Something has to be done. The mayor can be visited, a room, somewhere can be arranged for and the kids can get organized and work together. Action speaks louder than words. Let's do something! Wanted More Dancing by Janet Stanworth (9th grade English) Most boys around the age of 14 and 15 are just starting to date and have fun. Naturally, they will want to take their parents' car and not have a chaperone. What this town really needs is a dance every Friday Fri-day or Saturday night. This would give the kids something to do and they wouldn't be nearly as much trouble. The show is the only kind of activity and the out of town kids can't get into them most of the time. When the town had the open air dances, the kids made an effort ef-fort to get in to them and they were a real success. So let's all get busy and do something about this to get these dances started. Driver's Training by Doyle Topham (9th grade English) Driver's training for young people peo-ple should be continued. It helps train them to be better mature drivers. It teaches them the la and safety rules about driving, and also gives them experience. Driver training also makes it possible for the student to get his license 6 months earlier. It keeps him out of trouble a half year sooner and he gains much needed experience earlier. y Missing: School Support By Beverly Petersen Where's our school spirit? What is wrong with us that we don't entirely en-tirely support our school? Oh, we say we hope we win games and are happy if we do and sad if we don't. But is that all there is to school spirit? I don't think so. I think if we had real school spirit, when Delta played a game, football, basketball, or otherwise, the whole student body would turn out and support the team with their cheering and yelling. You say we do? Well, we don't. This Jr. High student body may go over to the game for a while. However, before the game's over, a large majority have gone up town, back to the school, over to the buses, or are aimlessly wandering wand-ering around. Some of the other students don't sit in the bleachers, and some of them that do, don't make any effort ef-fort to support the team. They don't care if they know the yells the cheerleaders are doing or not. Even the ones they do know they don't put forth much effort to yell them. Why don't we? Don't we care? Is the only reason we even go to the ball games is to get out of our school classes. I hope not! Segregated By Karen Pearson Our Consitution guarantees its citizens "Life, liberty and the pursuit pur-suit of happiness." But just how good is the guarantee? Take the case of the negro m many states, and especially in the south. He has to live a life of segregation seg-regation and discrimination. He has a segregated place on buses and trains; he cannot stay at certain cer-tain hotels or eat at certain restaurants. resta-urants. He is segregated to sections sec-tions of the city he can live in which generally is the slum section. sec-tion. Many jobs are refused him because of his color and, of course, we all know of the school segregation segrega-tion in many states. It's often said the Negro is inferior in-ferior and the crime rate is higher among them. But isn't it possible that if he were treated like others he would become like others. He has been given a chance in athletics ath-letics and he has done well and no doubt would do the same in other fields if given an equal opportunity. op-portunity. Our country has always proclaimed pro-claimed it is the "land of freedom." free-dom." Isn't it time we showed the world we actually are?
