Show templar trumpet PAGE 3 SgeSntFreedom is a cherished treasure in U.S. By: Rebecca Allen Sitting at one of the many computer at our high school, my mind contcmnlatcs about iust how much freedom we really have. Many times it seems that we as students are bound by the many laws of parents, teachers, and the law of the land. I feel it when I have to be in at curfew", or when my speedometer is just a tad over the speed limit. I often question why we have some of the laws we do. But as I have thought I believe most of these Bateman has decided to step out of the comfort of this beautiful valley into the real world. Katie will be leaving on a foreign exchange to Brazil in January of 1997. The exchange will be for six months. Some of the reasons for her choice to explore Brazil include the language (which will be Portuguese), exotic fruit, good music, living close to the ocean, and most of all the chance to go laws are for our benefit. Seems cray, right? Lct your mind reflect back into the history books during World War 2. During tire Nazi occupation in Germany, many of the people who lived there lost their freedoms. Wc are all aware of the injustices done to the Jewish people, for example the humiliations, public beatings, and their mysterious disappearances from tiicir homes and businesses. In addition to the magnitude of the Jewish suffering many of the German people who did not be- lieve in the Nazi propaganda were also victims. One example of these victims is stated strongly in tiic book of Before Uic Blood Tribunal. In 1938 they came into schools to Naify the children. A group of Nazis, in full uniform, arrived one day in our school in Rolhenburgsort. They set up tables in front of the table. When it was my turn they asked each Seniors hear opportunities at College Information Day 14" m pizza $6.00 Monday nights ONLY FREE DEUIERYI MjjjU only $8 minimum order required College Information Day was a great day indeed. It was a day of peace ,a day of joyfuincss, a lege of Eastern Utah, Dixie College, Job Corps, LDS Business College, Ricks College, Sevier day to gel out of your morning classes, and a day to get a lot of new pens. But really it was a day to find out what college you wanted to go to in the near future. It seemed to be well orga- Valley ATC, Snow College, Southern Utah University, Stevens Henagcr College, Uni- - of Utah, Utah State Uni- - student to pass in front of the table. When it was my turn they asked if I was a member of the Hitler Young Folk. I said No, am not. Why not?' they reAre your parents sponded. 1 Communists? No, they arc not. replied. Well, what are you doing next Sunday, they then asked me. I am going to Sunday School, I told them. Oh, you are religious, arc you? Yes, I replied. I believe in God and attend church. Do you have ten cents in vour pocket for a membership fee? the recruiter asked me. I told him I did not, but he said, It doesnt matter. You arc now a member of the Young Folk, anyway. You arc to report for duty next Sunday at 10:00 A.M. He then shouted, Next, and I was dismissed. If that isnt enough to make y your skin crawl, the Nazi so was corrupted they pation started recruiting as young as cmcnlary school. That is w hy I have come to believe that the United States is so privaledged to have the freedoms wc enjoy Wc have die freedom to choose die clothes wc want to wear, Uic friends wc have, the college wc want to attend, and wc can do anything we set our minds to. Now that is real freedom! So the next time you feel like your freedom is wrung dry remember the many things we do enjoy.

Dan is quite independent, working hard for his good grades. I admire his efforts and salute him as a Knight Noteworthy for this week of November class. 11. Melanie is a junior at MHS this year. She is extremely talented in acting, Melanie Riding singing, and writing. More impressive is the way in which she recently has focused her lifes direction. She shares her talents with everyone and strives for excellence in her school work. She has a lot of fun, and she still accomplishes her enviable goals. Attitudes vs. c, Skills Training and education programs can help teens learn driving skills, but they don't produce safer drivers. Why? Because it's often not poor skills that cause the crashes in the first place. It's teenagers' attitudes. They naturally tend ' to rebel against adult standards and regulations. Peer pressure influences them much more than advice from adults. Teenagers are slower than adults to perceive danger and, when they do, they often don't relate it to themselves. They think they're immortal, which is why they don't use safety belts as often as older drivers and deliberately seek thrills like driving at high speeds. Training and education don't change these tendencies because teenagers tend not to respond to adult influence. Call RJsk Managers at 235-463- 5 for more information. |
