And that is just what Delta did last Friday as they soundly thumped North Sanpete 61-7. Those Utah scribes and sportswriters who pfcked Delta as only slight fovorites to win, or those who even went so far as to say that a Homecoming-inspired Homecoming-inspired North Sanpete team would 'beat the Rabbits, were nowhere to be found after last Friday's game. It was a team victory and it would be pretty hard to pick an outstanding player in the game, but I think, as do others who attended at-tended the game, that Sterling Church deserves a big "hats off" for his outstanding defensive play last Friday. Also, hats off to the superb kicking of Dick Talbot (two of his kick-offs carried clear into the opponent's end zone), the power po-wer running of Jerry Bennett and Scott Callister, the sparking, aggressiveness ag-gressiveness of Roger Davis-both on defense and offense, and the great defense of the Rabbits, which has been the bulwark of Delta's football team this year. SUMMARY of the SCORING by QUARTERS First Quarter- 1. Jerry Bennett and Jim McCor-mlck McCor-mlck both skirted around end for 20 yard gains which took Delta well into North Sanpete territory. Then after two fumbles, Ken Moody pitched out to Jerry Bennett, who ran over for the score, with only a few minutes gone in the game, point, and Delta was ahead 7-0. 2. After Delta had blocked a Sanpete San-pete punt and recovered the ball, Jim McCormick carried the ball over the goal line for Delta's second touchdown. Scott Callister made the extra point. ' 14-0 Second Quarter.. 3. North Sanpete was forced to punt again, and after getting the ball Delta got consecutive first downs from Ken Moody, Jerry Bennett, Ben-nett, and Jim McCormick. Then Jim scored his second TD on a pitch out from quarterback Ken Moody. The extra point was no good this time. 20-0 4. Delta threw its first pass as Jerry Bennett completed a pass to Kent Finlinson, who pulled the ball in nicely and proceeded to run 70 yards for Delta's fourth touchdown. Scott Callister made the extra point. 27-0 5. A quick kick by North Sanpete really flubbed as Sterling Church grabbed it out of the air after it had traveled only about five yards. Jerry Bennett took over from there and made a first in ten, a touchdown, touch-down, and an extra point in that order. 34-0 Third Quarter.. 6. North Sanpete has a punt blocked for the second time in the game by Delta's ever-hustling defenders, de-fenders, and Delta takes over. Ken Moody pitches out to Jerry Bennett who sweeps around end for his third TD of the afternoon. Ken Moody Moo-dy scored the extra point on a quarterback quar-terback sneak. 41-0 7. Good runs by Roger Davis (20 yards) and Lonnie Hales put Delta into Sanpete territory for the umpteenth ump-teenth time. From there Roger made the touchdown and the extra point. 4S-0 Fourth Quarter.. 8. North Sanpete put a Delta fumble fum-ble and some good runs together to score their first touchdown of the game, along with the extra point. 48-7 Dale Booth made a good run-back run-back on Sanpete's kick-off, but he was injured slightly on the run and had to leave the game. Scott Callister Callis-ter zig-zagged through the defenders defend-ers for a 30-yd. touchdown run, and Neuman Callister made the extra point. 55-7 9. Again the Callisters got together to-gether and added another TD, as Scott made a 40-yard runback of North Sanpete's punt, and Neuman took a pitchout from Jerry Huff to score Delta's final touchdown. The extra point was not made. Final: 61-7 Meet the Faculty E. Reece Finlinson resides at Oak City, Utah, where he was born and raised.

School is the one place in the world dedicated to teaching one enough to grow smart enough to find out that school isn't what he wants to spend his time at. School is a mixture of subjects which one must take in order to find out that he is too dumb to learn anything about most of the subjects, and so we major in one subject and the rest has been a complete waste of time anyway. Then there is the time element. A person spends twelve years becoming be-coming acquainted with methods of learning and proper equations and development and just about the time he is ready to go out in the world he is told that all of the methods and developments are considered con-sidered outmoded so to move over and let a younger generation take it from there. School is the place where the library li-brary becomes the club room, the type room pinch-hits as a library, the hall is used for a combination parking lot and assembly room and the assembly room is the music room. Then the gym becomes the recreation center and the lunch room becomes the waiting room and the office is the inner-sanctum. School is where boys and girls are supposed to mix; but find a few of them mixing-it-up too well and it's the salt mines for them. Then we have to study the object ob-ject that goes with schools Teachers. Teach-ers. Now the name "teacher" in itself makes us think of respect and vast knowledge, so the first thing they say to us ls"Now you tell me . . ."; if they are the teachers teach-ers why do they look to us poor dumb students to tell them anything. any-thing. They ask us to write themes on different subjects that they want to know more about just to save them the time of looking up the information. They are always giving tests and exams and then keeping on the good side of real brainy students so they can -help them know more while they are teaching. Teachers are always ready with an element of surprise. The one time you think they are ready for a joke you put a snake in their desk, and they don't think it is funny. The biology teacher studies about all sorts of 'bugs and rodents but doesn't want to be caught with a mouse in his lunch box or pants pocket. Teachers know that the little things in life mean more than the larger things in day to day living; liv-ing; everyone of them would rather sit on a mountain than a thumb tack, upside down, the tack, that la School is where they teach you to play football, basketball, wrestling, wrest-ling, etc. with no holds barred and yet expect you to treat a girl on the dance floor as gently as a lace handkerchief. All day they Insist In-sist we speak, not too loudly, and maintain a proper discipline untill some sports event and then the cheer-leaders give us heck if we don't strain our tonsils and absolutely abso-lutely jump sky high at every play' made by the team. School is considered an institution institu-tion of higher learning . . . and its' puzzling to me If it is considered so high why somebody is always saying it should go to ! School is a place where we must be at 8:40 every morning and then be told that breakfast is the most important meal in the day when even if we get up at day-break, by the time we do our chores, clean up, take our sitting up exercises I and gather up the half a dozen books brought home for home work, we wouldn't have time to eat. Then of course, there is the idea that by the time we have bought all of our supplies, pens pencils workbooks, pins, etc., activity cards, and tuition our parents can't afford to buy bacon ba-con and eggs anyway. The person in our school that is really the backbone of the institution institu-tion and should be judged as such is really always getting the dickens from everybody. I have even heard teachers in rather Indignant conversations con-versations say that it was the principle prin-ciple of the thing that disgusted them. Now that Is no way to speak of our principal, and it isn't right to call our school a "thing"; but I do (believe it sounds better than some of the things I've heard it called. If a student Is quiet he is considered con-sidered a dummy. If he is boisterous he is called a bully, and if he is in between he is a problem child. , School is controversial: teachers say, "If you need help let us know and we'll be glad to help"; so a student asks for help and is told "you must learn to be more self reliant and independent". School is the place where you can hold hands in the hall, but you can't hold up a classroom demonstration. demon-stration.

Schools make light of television and then declare that in the future all of our learning will be via television tele-vision and by that time all of our sets will be worn out and we will have spent so much on schooling that we can't afford another set to learn with. Oh, well, we boys can always join the armed services and the girls can all keep house; so it isn't too important, now is it? School I'm glad I can go to an ordinary American School. D. H.

Lyrical Lyceum Leaves Loud Lauds Thursday, October 22, the Delta High School students and faculty welcomed the Missourians who entertained en-tertained with one full hour of music mu-sic and fun. After introducing themselves as R. H. Williams, Stan Harris, Fred Marsaw, and Thomas J. Pruitt, they continued the program pro-gram with "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho", "When the Saints Come Marchin In", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", and others. Then Mr. Williams humorously talked to the audience after which he recited "Death of Man" by Dunbar Dun-bar and "The creation" by James Weldon Johnson. "Scarlet Ribbons" was next sung hy Mr. Harris and Mr. Pruitt. Then the quartet sang "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" and took a comical role as they sang "Little Girl, I Love You" and "Battle "Bat-tle of New Orleans", which brought everyone into a state of vigorous applause. Attention All Parents Student Guidance : What : Parents Can 0 EDITOR'S MOTE: TbU b lh sixth and iinal artlcla on itudani guidance. By Dr. Edward C. Roeber As a parent, just how far would you go in gambling with your child's future in school or in a career? If someone asked you such a question, you would answer it like other parents. No parent wants to take unnecessary unneces-sary chances on anything as important as his child's personal satisfaction and success both in Bchool and at work. Although parents would like to help boys and girls, they do not always know where to go for professional assistance. In some larger communities, they may find vocational counseling services near their home. But even these services have their limitations, not in quality but in finding one when a decision has to be made. School and career planning takes place over a long period of time. One visit to a counseling service is not going to settle issues once and for all. Unfortunately, not all students stu-dents and parenta can find good guidance and counseling in their schools. A study, sponsored by the U. S. Department of Labor in 1955 56, indicated that there was an average of 700 pupils for each counselor and not all of these were adequately trained for their work. Recently Dr. James B. Conant, after a study of selected schools, recommended a full time counselor coun-selor for every 250 to 300 pupils pu-pils in a high school. It is clear that we need manv mme counselors for the schools cf! America. For more than twenty years some of the State Departments' of Education have been trying1 to encourage local schools to! provide good counselors and de-i velop the right kinds of guid-1 ance fcr youth. At the present' writing not many more than a' half dozen have had state-wide j success. Just last year the Congress of the United States sa y the need for more and better counselors As a result, it provided money for counselor institutes in many parts of the country. This sum mer there will be nearly fifty such institutes in thirty-seven states and territories. Although the institutes are going to help provide more and better counselors, they are not going to train as many as will be needed in the schools. Many schools can help themselves them-selves by encouraging teachers to take some form of special training during summers. Or several small schools can pool their resources and share the time of one good counselor. It would be very advantageous advantag-eous if all students had something some-thing tangible that they could read, go over with their parents, and discuss with fellow students. stu-dents. Homeroom teachers can multiply mul-tiply the effectiveness of a guidance counselor by participating partici-pating in short daily discussions with their students. Such dis cussions should cover current educational and vocational opportunities op-portunities for young people. Discussions of this type would not be designed to replace a guidance counselor. They would be designed to help him. These discussions would commence in the first year of high school and continue until graduation. Such a program would help students organize their thinking about the future and enable them to see their counselor about specific problems. The biggest problem is lethargy leth-argy on the part of parents and community leaders. They are wii ;ng to gamble with the lives - t v I rr-i ! . ! ui iKjjs ana g.rxs. iney iau 10 see that money spent for a counselor and guidance materials mate-rials today may save money tomorrow, to-morrow, joe, for example, may learn to use his talents and become be-come a taxpayer rather than a drain on welfare funds.

Local school officials and the school board are usually sensitive sensi-tive to what parents want in a good schooL The old saying, "Let George do it," isn't going to put one counselor in a school. Letters to the State Department Depart-ment of Education can give parents par-ents some idea as to what statewide state-wide plans are now being made for the improvement of school and career guidance. State school officials might also like to know what parents want in all schools of the state. Even with good counselors school career plannir.g is now a tough job and will be much harder in" the years ahead-Young ahead-Young people will have to plan for a future which is still obscure. But the more difficult the future the more need there is for adequate planning. Are we as a nation willing to cast adrift our most prized resource, re-source, the boys and girls of America and gamble that all works out well for them? Cr da we want them to have some vocational vo-cational guidance to have the materials and counseling so they can find goals and know how to reach them? This is still America- As parents, par-ents, you have a right to register regis-ter your vote by letter and telephone. |
