One of those four phases is our quickness competition to develop speed and agility. About 140 boys from the eighth grade through the senior class have participated in this years quickness program for the past eight or nine weeks with significant improvement. Our quickness competition is designed to develop the young men in three areas of movement; (1) quick movements on and near the ground positions; (2) movements that involve quick jumping movements and (3) speed movements that involve running short distances. We do this for 30-4minutes two days each week and award a point for each time the athlete wins in competition. Points are accumulated to determine top point are awarded. getters and We try to group the kids as near equal as possible in order to allow for a greater chance for success. Each athlete will score a number of points during the competition. Our desire is to make quickness development a game in order to bring out large amounts ofhustle and intensity over a short period of time. This years top point getters were: Cori Daniels, John Barrett, Craig Ogden, TJ Fonville, David Stevens, Andy Koons, Shane Green, Jon Jackson, Jon Cluff, Doug Nuffer, Rhett Larsen, Ronnie Hansen, James Dotson, Burl Kevin Christensen, rt all-fou- rs 0 head-to-hea- d Wil-lardso- n, Terry Simons, Mike Congdon, Eric Olson, Todd Murray, Ben Willardson, Ty Murray, Justin Ludvigson, Lorin Steck, Mark Anderson, Trent Taylor, Sam Schoppe, Chris Faatz and Chris Olson. Eighth grade winners were: Richard Cox, Tom Hill, Joe McCaul, Todd Taylor, Keith Collister, Brian Patterson, Brandon Olson, Aaron Bolli, Mike Stevens, Chris Nielson, Steven Olson, and Jo Jackson. As we are finishing up the school year, we will be gradu- - ally increasing our efforts towards nextyear. Along with the weight room being open throughout the summer, several camps will be held at the high school. We will take a full squad to the Snow Camp in June, and we will be starting a high school level passing league involving the local schools in the area. Summer is our fine tuning time and we would strongly encourage those who are interested in playing football next fall to get involved with these programs now.

A simple supper of Danish dumpling soup, rolls, salad and dessert will be served Friday, May 26 at 5:30 p.m. in the Snow College Cafeteria. The public is invited to the supper and program. The event has two purposes. First, it will serve as a kick-of- f activity. Second, it will be an occasion at which to honor se- lected groups of Ephraim citizens. This year, the committee has chosen to honor those Ephraim couples who have been married 50 years or more. Letters of commendation have been sent to those couples so identified. These couples will be presented with the keys to the city, given a Scandinavian Days button, and provided with special seating at the parade. Committee member Nilsson notes that in the absence of any comprehensive data, determining the eligible couples has been difficult. She urges any who have been inadvertently missed to contact her immediately. Also, anyone who is aware of others who should have been notified should contact Mrs. Nilsson or Jannie Anderson. Advance reservations will be necessary. Ticket information is available from Susie Nilsson, Jannie Anderson, or Elaine Christensen.
