Skip A Rope. Skip A Rope. QUESTION: What is your reaction to the lyrics of "Skip A Rope"? From the moment he slung his guitar over his shoulder, students at Skyline High could tell that Dr. Walter Kerrs address to thm would be a to remem- unique experience ber. Other schools in the area (East and Granger) experienced much the same from the Director of the National Youth Foundation. Dr. Kerr who spoke at the three schools at the first of the week brought each of them a nev way to look at the Spirit of routh There was nothing braid new about the theme of ns message (in short: youth exercise your American freedoms to beat down communism) which is w ritten about, preached and overworked to usually the falling-asleestage. But not so with Dr. Kerrs audiences. It isnt likely that a drowsing audience would give the speaker a standing ovation such as he received from these three schools. Dr. Kerrs guitar strum-mip It proves that there Myra Wheeler, Bingham are still songs being wntten that have real meaning. It has a frightening and true understanding of what Is This song happening today. Denise Frioe, Layton is 'eally putting over an example. It shows that a child's environment really melds and affects his life. T like the rhythm and the beat Judy Birkes, West are words of the song, but the depressing. Its sad that influenced so strongare such young, innocent children world. Bill Evans, adult of the the problems ly by Granite I think the words pertain to young people who don't really think much about the importance of the words because they are exposed to the same Ideas continually." I really like the Lynn Walpole, Viewmont song. I. portrays quite vividly the double standards existing in society. Its a new way of saying, Do as I say, not as I do. " Denzel Thompson, South This song has a definite bearing on todays world. I think it is more effective than riots, demonstrations or senators in showing people how insincere and full of hate they are. Trudy Beevley, Clearfield They have based the lyrics on family hate and are piacing too much stress on this point rather than famiI think it is a ly love. Debbie Deaver, Olympics disgusting song. The lyrics are somewhat obnoxious in that they are a phony representation of our society. Pam Thornley, Bountiful Children hear their parents argue, discriminate against their neighbors and express false Ideas; yet adults dont seem to realize how much they are to blame for teaching false Ideas. Scott Barns, Kearns I dont like the song because it is unjustly negative. Parents arent that bad. You would think we are on the eve of destruction." Diana It depicts how certain experiences Garff, Highland as those chanted In the song must stand out in chilI think drens minds. Kayleen Fitzgerald, Jordan this song is true. It tells that children do learn from parents; and although parents dont think children pay attention to what does on around home, they are very ' Skip a Rope much aware. Gary Heaston, Davis reflects in a broad sense, an increasing concern about contemporary morals. It is a relief to know that there is still concern. Pam Thornton The song shows how kids Ann Stamos, Murray minds work and how they are influenced by their par I ents actions. Children are aware of bad examples set by parents as well as good examples." Diana Herz, In the song the children's game Innocently reflects attitudes that their parents display in the home but hide in public." Joan Cannon, East The lyrics have significant meaning in that they point out that parents and the examples they set have a definite influence on children. Susan Hession, St Marys of the I do like the song, but I feel that w hat it Wasatch is too strict because it dwells on the fact that parsays ents are to blame for all the things children do. Peggy . .O'Keith, Cy prus I think the words to this song are true because fighting parents tend to give children a feeling of Insecurity. well-meani- Hill-'cre- st There is no specific definition for the word, although the term is continually being flung around the halls of Hillcrest High. Some of the students especially those who have been called a Gunkie would like to know what it means! bom in an advanced The word was placement English class when the instructor, Robert Krueger, was playing a Bill Cosby record album. Pretty soon, everyone was using the word : Although no one really has a specific definition of Gunkie. it seems to have a negative connotation. For instance: A Gunkie is the type of person who throws your briefcase into the girls locker room A Gunkie will usually run all the way from the choir room to the cafeteria so he can be first in the lunch line for hot dogs. A Gunkie is ihe type of guy who pushes your car out of the school parking lot and hides it in an automatic car wash. A Gunkie frequently writes love letters to his lab assistant on his chemistry experiments. A Gunkie refers to boys who wear red suspenders to debate meets. A Gunkie is the type of person who fits Blindness manner of putting across a message proved to be a genuine attention winner. From the first Hello my he never lost young friends them once whil he used song and his thick Texas drawl to get across his point of the importance of accumulating every ounce of knowledge and activating it in a stance down down - with - Americanism attitudes. Dr. Kerr emphasized that theology belongs in the middle and not on the periphery of your lives. He related a meeting with Khrushchev (then premier of Russia) at which Nikita tagged American youth as lazy and yella being so that they wouldnt even defend their own country when the time came. Americas strength is no doubt m its youth, Dr. Kerr pointed out. adults are not just putting up with you, they are counting on you. You have strong competition with youth from other nations. Do not let Communistic youth out learn you. Think, work and pray for achievement! Youth, like adults have an automatic sixth sense that repels extensive criticism. As a possible solution to this Dr. Kerr submits thu. youth operate best under motivation. Dont criticize them; challenge them. A family man in his own right, the native of Texas, besides being an entertainer, is a lawyer, minister and author. He is acclaimed internationally for his leadership of youth. Dr. Kerr was brought to Utah through the efforts of Utah Plumbing Association. against Tradition really went a beg14th at ging on February some Salt Lake schools Although sending a Valentine greeting has been a long tunc madition, tie method of sending the greeting received some varied twists this year.

During his stay Al was Al was one-thir- d twice chosen for competition with the Idaho State Blind School for his excellence in spelling, wrestling and other activities. He was active in track, swimming, diving, and trampoline jumping with different Ogden schools. When asked his impression of the Biind School and the years he spent there Al replied, It is quite different from CHS. First, there are only 72 kids enrolled. We didnt have assemblies or lockers and the rules were much stricter. But down deep, everybody there likes it and really appreciates what is being done for them." Al feels that people with a handicap such as his, have a greater determination to accomplish the goals they set. A good example of this is Al himself. TEEN per.

School newspapers these much days are becoming more than a printed carrier of school news, gossip, sports, reports and announcements. They now reflect opinions, air controversies, high school has worked out a new strategy for football: one squad for otfense, one squad for defense, and one squad to attend classes. Theres a new strict rule for education at a southern high school. They wont allow a basketball player his letter unless he knows which one it is. To many students, their school newspaper represents a first real opportunity to communicate with each other. East High used the method of music to send Valentines. For ten cents boy could send a singing Valentine to his favorite coed (or vice versa) via vocal talents of members from the Hi Club and Service Club. Proper procedure was to choose the best fitting phrases from selections dreamed up by members of the clubs. The amorous words were set to old time hits (like Tea For Two) and the vocalists delivered the message. Jordan High took a step to valensending gmormous tines to other schools. Huge Valentines were poster-size- d placed in Jordan halls. After the seniors had autographed each of them they were sent to Hillcrest and Bingham high schools. Tradition wasnt completely left behind. Some local teens delivered edible Valentines. Cakes with frosted greetings were favorites at Granger. Girls also sent Valentine up in greetings wrapped cookies. boxes of For the shy Valentine giver, the tradition of leaving message rnd token of attention, ringing the door bell and running for cover even received some exercise. heart-shape- d stimulate SMiHtTiafkilMEut M Cotttnmi IU JMUt Dear Elaine Hosts First On they're here Hello List DEAR ELAINE: When you go to someones home to rdin-ne- r f whom do you pay atten- tion to first?
