Show Page 4 Millard County Chronicle Thursday, Nov. 2, 1961 umni Golden Nuggets It is truly an inspiration when such a talented writer and poet steps forth from our beloved school as Cristel Nielson. She is the daughter daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving J. Nielson of Lynndyl. She and her husband, Sterling Sagers, are presently living in Salt Lake City. Cristel's writings have given those who have read them a chill of sheer delight. In an English teacher's notebook a small collection collec-tion of her many writings is highly treasured. Her versatility is amazing. She has written of children, of loneliness, loneli-ness, of nature's beauty, of her hometown, and she has even done cleverly imaginative comedy poems. Cristel seemed like a quiet person per-son as she traveled through her high school years, but those who knew her discovered her pleasant personality, her dependability and her wonderful understanding of life. Often they could hear her soft laughter as her keen sense of humor hu-mor bubbled over. She still has an ability to express herself on paper so well that those who read what she has written find themselves feeling what she felt. By Kathleen Nickle For our column this week we have selected an article which is a description of her bus driver. We feel not only that this so cleverly describes him but also that it reveals re-veals the burdens of our other loyal loy-al bus drivers. Cristel, we, the MoDel Staff, thank you for the literary contributions contri-butions that you have given us. Character Sketch By Cristel Nielson SUBJECT: Mr. Raoul Hansen, Priver of the Leamington, Lynndyl bus in years past. The Patience of Job At approximately eight-fifteen every weekday morning for nine months of the year, the yellow school bus comes roaring down the lane like a gigantic monster bent on destruction. The road is worn and bumpy, causing the awkward lumbering vehicle to sway and roll as it charges toward us. As it lurches to a stop in front of us, the wheels stir up a cloud of dust that envelops us; and, after LEGAL NOTICE SHERIFF'S SALE NOTICE OF SALE ON EXECUTION Civil No. In the District Court of the Fifth Judicial District, in and for the County of Millard, State of Utah.

The trumpet trum-pet of the angel Gabriel could not arouse any more activity, for people peo-ple scurry from all directions, pulling pull-ing on coats or gulping hastily the remnants of a breakfast that had been interrupted by the urgent summons. Racing the motor impatiently, the driver orders us to hurry to our seats, for he is a few minutes behind be-hind schedule. At each stop along the way he pulls a monstrous watch that looks as if it might be the great-grandfather of all watches from his pocket to check the time. Bravely enduring the barrage of spitwads, or orange peelings, or snowballs, or the spray from a dozen do-zen water pistols each coming according ac-cording to the season of the year he drives on for a while, his hands in their shabby, brown leather gloves gripping the wheel firmly. A brown, felt hat, that has been out in too many rain storms, has been clapped on his head; the crown still bears the dents made by grasping fingers; the brim flops dismally with each movement. Quite often some mischievous passenger knocks the magnificent headpiece from its place revealing a white forehead that contrasts strangely with the rest of his sunburned sun-burned face for he owns a small farm and spends part of his time in the sun. His once dark hair now streaked with gray, the hairline of which has receded a bit since he was a lad, comes into view. His face is a study of time. Although Al-though he really isn't old, he has lived the biggest half of the time alloted to the average man. His face is diamond in shape. . .a rather rath-er long diamond: his forehead is narrow; his cheeks are wide; and his chin is thin. The two latter parts are covered with short, gray, bristled whiskers. His eyes are narrow nar-row and the wrinkles at the corners could be the result of smiling or squinting at the road. Long ears are flattened against his head. He wears either a heavy, green plaid coat or a faded green sweater, sweat-er, worn a trifle at the elbow; and underneath a gray flannel shirt can be seen. A pair of waist levis completes com-pletes his costume. When he stands you can see that he is of medium height, that his arms are unusually long and his hands large as they dangle at his side. There is an obvious bulge at his belt line that he declares is not middle age spread; it's just that his chest has slipped. His gruff voice adds its harsh tone to the volley of insults that fly back and forth through the bus; and sometimes as a spitwad whizzes whiz-zes too close to his ear, he bellows his rage in words that are not included in-cluded in Mr. Webster's vocabulary. At such times, his foot hits the brake sharply and the bus groans to a stop mid-way between its destination des-tination and the place of departure. He heaves himself to his feet to tramp menacingly the full length of the aisle collecting elastics elas-tics and various other weapons. After Af-ter such scenes he resumes his seat with eyes atwinkle and a satisfied smile on his face. The bus continues its briefly interrupted in-terrupted journey, and the students pick up the battle where they left off. The procedure is repeated every' few minutes, to the complete enjoyment of all. No matter what kind of weather descends upon us, he is on the job. He seldom protests when the bus must return to a ball game or dance; in fact, I have seen him return re-turn to some recreation that was not listed as one he had to return to. When asked why he came back he answered that the students who ride buses have as much right to see the games as the students who live in town. And more than once he has driven through heavy snow-to snow-to a crucial game. He has proved his worth many times through the years. During the winter of forty-eight he drove over icy roads, missing only a few days of school even though the winter was severe and only the top of the bus was visible over the snow piled along the highway. His job isn't dull. Besides the antics of the school-bound students, stu-dents, he sometimes finds more dangerous excitement, for one morning we lost a wheel on the way to school and were forced to wait an hour or two in the middle of nowhere until help arrived. He loves to tell of his younger 2) fbapi J3o -JL Students Attend Journalism Confab By Ema Lea Taylor Neither snow nor cold nor long distance could keep the Journalism Journal-ism students from leaving Millard County and traveling to the campus of the BYU to learn more about journalism. Miss Ruth Hansen with Margaree Owens, Judy Draper, Janice Petersen Peter-sen and Jane Black representing the Triangle Staff and Joan Murray, Dana Kaye Ogden, Ema Lea Taylor and Winona Alldredge representing the MoDel Staff left early Saturday morning for Provo to attend the 26th annual Journalism Conference. First, after registering, the girls attended the general session where Mr. Charles Carver, managing editor edi-tor of the Ogden Standard Examiner; Examin-er; Mr. Jay Tipton, Vice President of Gilham Advertising Agency; and Mr. Bill Dunn from KSL radio and television told them some of the advancements in their respective fields of journalism. After the opening session the girls separated to the work shops of their own choices where they were given instructions on different differ-ent opportunities for journalists in the fields of television and radio, advertising and public relations, and newspaper work. There was also al-so a class on women's part in journalism and an advisers' workshop. work-shop. Following the morning session a delicious lunch was served to the students; then they were taken on a guided tour of the new buildings on the campus. The students who didn't take in the tour sat around and talked or looked at the exhibits exhi-bits which included the best rated yearbooks and school papers in the state. Finally experts in the different aspects of journalism gave the girls helpful suggestions for improving im-proving the reporting and printing of a newspaper or planning and publishing a yearbook. The girls received many new ideas for im proving the MoDel and Triangle. From the Office Of the Principal Last week we enumerated the various opportunities our students have for the development of leadership lead-ership and character. Today, I would like to take you with me into in-to one of our departments and see it in action. Let's take our deDa-rtment of Girls Health and Physical Educa- tion. Mrs. Schena is the teacher for the Girls Health and Mrs. McCall has our girls in Physical Education. For economy on space, perhaps we should confine our visit to the Health Program. Let's look at the room first. It is the type room filled with small tables with typewriters on each. Students can barely see over the top of the typewriters No space for demonstrations or individual indivi-dual activity. We are told that it must be held here as there is no health room available (or any other oth-er room available that could be used at this hour of the day). "How about equipment?" we ask the teacher tea-cher for the teaching of this all-important all-important subject. Again, we are told that there has been made a-vailable a-vailable a fund by the PTA that would adequately supply, over a few years, equipment for a fine health field in our school, where not only class work could be held but clinics, health checks by doctors, doc-tors, nurses headquarters, etc. But alas, not even a room to store the days, if anyone were willing to listen; lis-ten; and often he hands out advice worth following, ihe best of which seems to be, "Never be a bus driver!" dri-ver!" But this he gives in a cheerful cheer-ful tone of voice with a smile on his face and a merry twinkle in his eyes. For five years he has reigned supreme su-preme as the judge, jury, .and executioner exe-cutioner of law and order on the bus. Each spring he vows that the past year was his last; but with the coming of September, he can be found with his "fallen chest" firmly lodged behind the steering wheel, cussing the new batch of "miserable brats" that he has to contend with. His tuneless whistle has become a familiar part of our school day and we miss him when takes a dav off because of illness. At times we wonder how we could exist without his cussing each morning and evening even-ing and just what the bus would be without him.

UTAH unzrzra ot the Week Jane Black, daughter of Rulon and Rose Black of Salt Lake City, is one of our outstanding students. She is quiet and unassuming; but she is a very deep thinker sincere in her convictions and unswerving in her standards. Jane is a perfect lady. When her parents moved to Salt .vSS,---, JANE BLACK Lake she decided to stay and finish high school at Delta where she is living with Mr. and Mrs. Don Moody. Moo-dy. We are proud and honored that Jane decided to stay and be one of Our '62 graduates. Her classes include Shorthand II, Senior English, office practice, Girl's Chorus, Chemistry I, Pep Club and Yearbook. She enjoys her classes and has maintained an excellent ex-cellent scholastic average through- equipment that this fund will buy for us. Most of you are acquainted with our teacher, Mrs. Schena, whose teaching major is Social Science with a teaching minor in Biology and Psychology. She has taught this most important work for nine years and has taken many special classes in this field during summer school. The general objectives objec-tives for the tenth grade girls health program are: 1. To provide reliable information concerning fundamental health problems. 2. To stimulate the development of a scientific, critical, intelligent attitude toward personal and public pub-lic health problems which will help pupils to abandon and avoid false beliefs and unscientific practices. 3. To stimulate the development and continuance of desirable personal per-sonal health practices. 4. To develop social responsibility responsi-bility for health. 5. To stimulate pupils to take an active part in the improvement of home, school and community environments. en-vironments. 6. To help pupils to become intelligently in-telligently self-directing in health matters. The ultimate goal of health education edu-cation is to improve behavior thru the acquisition of health knowledge and skills, and the changing of attitudes and practices. The health-educated health-educated adolescent is one who assumes as-sumes her share of responsibility for her own health and that of her family and community. She is a person who applies understanding of healthful, effective living to her own behavior. Considering teaching, personnel, program, sources of supplies, I think we have the potential of a splendid health program if we could have a room equipped for this purpose. Our students would enjoy a fine program in this field.

Sit VS TODAY ton A CIMONSTHATION REED TURNER ! i tn- nrnr . Rabbits Embarrass By Lyn Bunker The Juab Wasps invaded Rabbit domain Friday, only to be viciously swatted by the dauntless Rabbits m a wild-scoring contest. Lonnie Hales and Ken Bishop seemed almost al-most to be having their own private pri-vate game to see which could make the more touchdowns. It ended end-ed in a tie at 3 TD's apiece. Other Rabbit tallies were scored by Paul Pace, Wynn Walker, Joe Lyman, and Steve Rowley. In- the first period, following a few good runs by "Orv" Adams and Hales, Hales made two quick touchdowns for Delta. Both extra point attempts succeeded. The Wasps found they could get nowhere on the ground, so they looked to the skies. After about 12 straight tosses, Ed Kendell found the route to paydirt. Doug Church made two great rushes followed by an 18 yard touchdown by Lyman. The Wasps held to their passing, but the alert Rabbits, took them for consistent losses. The hapless Wasps punted, and Hales, ate up 20 yards for Delta's fourth. The extra point was secured by Fred Tolbert. At this point, a glance at the scoreboard shows 27-6 favoring Delta. out her high school years. Jane's activities keep her busy too, for she is a member of the Pep Club, the U.N. Club, F.H.A., and is Yearbook business manager. She has been on the type teams the last two years, was on the shorthand team last year, and is working toward that end this year. Furthermore, she likes to sew. Jane is LDS and very active in church activities also. Jane, thinking nursing would be an interesting vocation, will perhaps per-haps go to the University of Utah to major in that profession. Mr. Bennett asked Jane to make a statement about her feelings concerning con-cerning school and gaining an education. edu-cation. This is her statement: "I just love school. Everything about it is fun and exciting. Each new day brings a new challenge, and new opportunities for advancement. It is by taking advantage of these opportunities and overcoming the challenges that an education is gained. I hope that I will always recognize these opportunities for what they are and for what they I can do for me." We wish Jane success and hope that her ambitions will carry her far in life.

Ken Bishop finished John's work as he found a hole and took advantage of it. Adams made the extra point. Nephi figured it was their turn; so on a screen pass, Ed Kendell went a ridiculous 72 yards, untouched un-touched by Delta. Ken Bishop broke loose for a 41 yard score to abruptly sober the Wasps. Thus, the half gun found it a lopsided 41-12. Ken Bishop grabbed the Wasp kickoff and never stopped until he had crashed 85 yards through the Wasps to another Delta touchdown. Steve Rowley furthered the margin mar-gin as he found a Wasp fumble and jogged into the end zone a very common Spectacle by now. The entire backfield was switched switch-ed for sophomores, after which Pace wrapped up another 6 points. Juab made a couple of quick ones, followed by Delta's final tally by Wynn Walker. After Juab made their last TD, the final score was 68-31. Next Friday, the entire student-body student-body will witness the Delta eleven fleece (I hope) the Richfield club.

Although it was rather cool and cloudy, it didn't stop Delta's Third Annual Homecoming Home-coming from being a success. There were cars all around the field and the beautiful homecoming floats on the south side. To entertain the fans at half-time half-time the winning floats paraded around the field. A very beautiful Seminary float stole first place. After Af-ter this the Pep Club and Del-Ettes combined their talents and stepped off to a precision drill. The Pep Club and Del-ettes have both done very well this year, and their marches at half-time surely add color to the games. The Rabbits really got into the scoring act as they made 10 touchdowns touch-downs and beat the Wasps to the tune of 68-31. Next week the Rabbits hop to Richfield for their final league game. If they beat this game they will take the Region Nine crown and play Cedar City in the semifinals. semi-finals. The Rabbits will really need youf support on this one. If you can, please make the scenic drive to Richfield and support the Rabbits. Rab-bits.
