Health, happiness and success is "The Best of Life," Suzanne Richmond said, and you need an education to achieve these tilings. She said Mothers' High students attended school because they wanted to, not because they had to. "Now we have done this we can do anything, there is nowhere to go but up."

Class members, ranging in age from 18 to 60, said gaining a diploma didn't come easy for them, but they proved you can accomplish what you set out to do if you're determined to do it. Suzanne Mecham said she had set a lot of goals in her life but "this is one that I can say I really 6 She said sheh ad always told her kids that they could become anything they wanted if they had the determination, but shedidn't think it would apply to her "until one day I couldn't get an interview for a job.

Last year 3,000 volunteers got involved in helping the 1,800 participating handicapped athletes at the meet, Donnelly said, adding he hopes for a similar response this year. "The Special Olympics mean a lot to them (the athletes who have handicaps)," said Kathy Edwards, director of Recreation for All Handi- capped. "They feel like they're really someone, andthey realize that they can do a lot of the same things they've seen their brothers and sisters do." Athletes are not the only ones who grow from the experience, Donnelly said. "We have two people who now work in the front office who said they couldn't volunteer. They were just too frightened and thought they couldn't handle it. Once they tried it, they got hooked." Donnelly said there's "something for everybody to do.

In fact, the only time we consider posture may be when we nag our own children. But the condition and position of the spine are of great importance at any age. In the last two decades, much has been said about body language, the fact that the ways in which we sit, stand and move reveal much about our psychological and emotional states. But posture and movement also reflect physical health while in turn influencing it. A rounded back and hunched shoulders, for example, may suggest that an individual lacks but they may also interfere with proper functioning of the lungs. Poor posture can, in fact, adversely affect the functioning of many vital organs and, in the long run, actually alter the immune system itself. Being aware of how we hold ourselves, then, is important not because someone tells us so, but because of the major impact proper posture can have on our health. Provo.
