Their coming together may have been one of those flukes of sport, but their staying together is no accident. That job fell to Gail Anderson, a Midvale resident who is also the mother of Debbie Anderson. Over the past couple of years Gail has received the aid of long time sports enthusiast and Softball freak, Dan Simons, who is a realtor in the area. Between them they have managed to keep operating a Softball machine that plays with the best. "The real story here isn't in the winning and losing of athletic contests," Simons advanced, "it is the fact someone cared enough to see these girls stay together and was willing to give the time and effort to see they did. Gail deserves a lot of credit." If winning was the "only thing" as Vince Lombard! once was reported to have said, one could easily call these young women successful. In their first year of Bobby Sox Softball they grabbed second in state then followed with state championships in 74 and '75. Continuing on into 'A.S.A. Softball (American Association) Softball they earned a third in 1977 and a second in 1978; they placed second in the Coalville tournament and won the 1978 Firecracker tournament; and in the Bonnetball Softball league they have dominated their age group, the year before last going undefeated. : their coach, have earned over the years. "What is equally important with winning to me as a coach is that they show sportsmanship, that they remain ladies both on and off the field," commented Gail. "I can't begin to count the number of times other coaches, win-olose, have come over and told us what a pleasure it was to play these girls. That means as much as the r Vance A.

At a high school level they have aided their school's teams placing at region and going onto state competition in both volleyball and basketball every year since they were sophomores. "I've never seen so many talented young women coming out of such a small area," continued Simons. "And they're not big robust women either. One wonders how such a bunch of meek and mild looking young ladies can be so coldly efficient in their play." But. winning has never been the "only thing" to these gals. For, overto Simons, according shadowing their successes on the scoreboard is the respect they and Mountview school - "I just believe all kids need a COTTOiWOOD On Nov. the she "and that 9, Brighton High explained, chance," they should be given one.

But for a few days last week, older students at Jordan Valley School had a chance to turn back the clock and experience those "Old Fashioned School Days." Teachers at the school planned week-lonthe in activities with National Dunce conjunction Day on Nov. 8. Marlena Dillard spelled everyone else down in the spelling bee. Students watched Little Rascal movies, wrote on slates, used feather pens, and wore knickers, bonnets, and other clothes more popular in an earlier age. The children also learned that school was not always as enjoyable as it is today. Teachers practiced strict discipline, with a dunce chair and cap on display as a warning to those who did not behave. However, a boy who brought his teacher an apple won favor today just as he would have in the past.
