For years studies nationally and here in Utah have shown that many girls school perform well in elementary studies but later score lower than boys in math and science However girls do well in most other high school classes with their test scores comparing favorably with those of boys In the past a statewide report on test results stated that girls’ scores in those subjects lower the state’s overall scores in nationally administered tests Authorities say it isn’t because girls can’t do well in math and science but society just didn’t expect them to cel in those subjects Many people didn’t even expect them to take those classes Female high school students seem to The 17 Child: by JIM CAMPBELL Utah Education Association President Dependent Irritable Bladder Prostatitis SEXUALITY Dependent Intimacy and Performance Sexual Acting Out Hormone Disruption Feelings become blocked Dec Dance Music invited M E Bird Center 7:30 Moonlighters pm Everyone Territorial Statehouse 50 W UT 84631 by Matt Sheridan Park Manager Territorial Statehouse Slate Park As the new Park Manager of the Territorial Statehouse State Park I have made commitments to accomplish certain things The first commitment chanmade was to establish a between the nel of communication Statehouse and the local communities This column is the first step in that process In the weeks to come this column will be covering such diverse subjects as: museum renovation projects offroad vehicle regulations pioneer family histories special events roller skating and much much more!

us We look forward to many rewarding years working with the people of Millard County by Jane Beckwith There are so many things I could talk about I hardly know where to begin The weather turned cold in a predictable fashion— everytime there is a typhoon the weather is about ten degrees colder after that so now it’s winter Tuesday night it snowed about three inches Wednesday morning it was interesting to see how Japanese people react to snow I heard someone in the parking lot near my apartment trying to start his car about six am The battery was sluggish and after about seven tries there was only that disheartening click But not twenty minutes later a service vehicle pulled in and gave him a jump For me walking up this precipitous hill was a precarious situation to say the least The sidewalks had not been cleared and already the snow was turning to the worst kind of slush I wear my Reeboks to school every day since I have to take off my shoes once I arrive so naturally my feet were wet by about the first corner Another difficulty is that the roads are so narrow that when a car passes rest assured that a pedestrian is splashed with rain or snow And as in most places in the world drivers here have little concern for pedestrians While I stood near the crosswalk waiting for a break in the traffic a line of High School students passed riding bikes I’d say at least half of the 1400 students ride bikes although in Japan a bike is a motorcycle so they ride bicycles Anyway to see a string of seven or eight girls ail dressed in school black and white uniforms bluejacket checked skirt white socks and black shoes plus the required white helmet riding bikes is still a shock to my eyes but to see them trying to manage in snow is more amazing still Farther on in my trek up the mountain side as the slope became steeper Forthings were more treacherous tunately most of the cars were equipped with chains still it was unusual to hear their clacking over just three or four inches of snow More strange were all the little boys dressed only in shorts and sweat shirts Their little legs blushed red from the cold but their faces looking calm and warm Once I hit the bottom of the high school hill quite a traffic jam had resulted as the teachers tried to drive up The Brass Band teacher was out flagging traffic and the boys who play sports were dressed in light sweat suits helping push cars up the hill a good five minute walk to the top From above the PE teachers had organized crews of students to scrape the snow into the gutter But rather than using snow shovels they were ing a flat piece of heavy metal fixed to a handle Usually they use them on the playing field to level the running surface but today it was used for a different purpose Near the school boys in their white cotton baseball suits were playing soccer in the soccer in the snow so snow and soccer balls were flying through the chilled air Inside the school which has an atrium around the tennis courts students were lined up across from each other on all five floors aremed with snowballs stacked on the ledge It was the only day since I’ve been here that I’ve like changing my shoes At least my school shoes were dry but my socks were a different story This school and most schools in Japan have no central heating The teachers’ office rooms have kerosene heaters Where my desk is there are also thirty other teachers so it’s a big room heated by two kerosene stoves Teachers take turns packing kerosene up the flight of stairs But the stove wasn’t used until Dec Japan loves changing behavior on specific days ie Oct every student came to school with jackets on not just white shirts The people at the post of- - too fice changed their uniforms was the day that the Anyway Dec heater came on in this office Now it’s on all the time I’m cooked because my desk is near the stove But the poor students have NO heat in their rooms And since they have to wear uniforms dress warmthey have little chance to the skirts never ly Girls must wear how cold the pants I can hardly believe rooms are In the mornings everytime I speak I can see my breath when I teach Most rooms are small so the 47 bodies in the room heat it a little but some of the rooms are on the end of the school and have windows on both sides They are so cold that some students mostly girls hold chemical pouches on their laps to keep their hands warm Each packet costs 50 yen (about 40 cents) so it’s a small price to r pay since the warmth last hours Now that finals are being prepared in the are not allowed students teachers’ room for any reason not even to get warm Just a few more reasons why America is a wonderful place to live Tests in the Japanese School It’s the end of the term in Japan and once again the school begins the testing haven’t been here long and ritual surely I don’t understand all that goes on around me since I can’t understand or speak Japanese But I’ll tell you about what I see First of all the calendar on the has big arrows slashed blackboard across the dates from December Those are the days of the upcoming tests But even now the routine around the teachers’ office has changed markedly There is a small blackboard posted by the door which must say that no students are allowed in the room That was the same thing that happened last test time in the middle of October If a student disregards the sign he or she is scolded as only the Japanese can scold So no students come into the room to get warm (This is the only room in the school with decent heat) or to clean (There are no janitors or maintenance people hired in the school Cleaning is done by the students and one of the office workers does the maintenance AND payroll) There are no club activities held the week before the examinations Students are supposed to go home and study stuLast quarter I saw an dent downtown during testing week and she wouldn’t say hello to me I’m sure it was because she was afraid that I would tell her teachers and she would get in trouble Besides curtailing the club activities attendance at school changes too When the tests actually begin students only come to school for two or three periods in the morning Of course during those periods they are taking tests But in the afternoon they are free to go home and study I’m not sure who makes up the tests if the individual teacher does or a committee It could be a committee since in the English teachers’ faculty meeting held every Wednesday one teacher translated to me that Mr Kijiyama’s and Mr Wakui’s classes had to take the same test because they were both Grade Two (juniors) studying English The difficulty with that is that Mr Wakui and Mr Kijiyama teach different materials the test Naturally puts pressure on Mr Kijiyama to teach the same things This test taking is rigorous on most of the students although I don’t think they really study as much for these tests as they do for the university examinations given in April But I’ll write about studying another time I was given statistics on the study habits of students in this school They are interesting to look at as far as statistics go More later Where’s the fun in jogging? by Bert Randoph Sugar Just in case you haven’t noticed the highways and byways of America are being overrun literally by of whom look from the rear as if they’re waving without ing their hands And now my wife whose idea of ercise is shopping faster wants me to keep apace with the running fad Just last week as I was doing my daily calisthenics with the TV remote control she came in and announced that had to do something “for the good of my health” “Health” I said aloud “isn’t that something everyone is always drinking to before they fall down?” “Very funny” said and hurried on to tell me that “the best thing” would be for me to “lose weight quit drinking and take up jogging” Taking the tact of all husbands everywhere I told her “Honey you know I don’t deserve the best what’s second best?” For someone who is at an age when he’s not worried about being in shape just thankful he still has one to be told that jogging is good for you is somewhat akin to being told that Joan of Arc is Noah’s wife To me jogging is not an exercise it’s a designer sport one Everywhere looks young people can be seen running All so obscenely thin that they look as if they work in an olive factory dragging pimento through And all proudaround in their official ly prancing badges of courage There are “official” sweatbands sweat socks shirts shorts shoes etc etc all costing top dollar Great! Just what I need $180 worth of equipment all of which looks like expensive underwear merely to run down to the corner mailbox And have you ever seen a jogger smile? What is it about their that takes all the fun out of it? Is it because they’re counting the number of steps ’til they get back home thinking as do that this is an exercise in futility? You can’t jog in a small town Bobby Rowan of Enigma Georgia says he tried jogging but everyone stopped him to offer a lift to wherever he was hurrying There’s the joke size standard seven about the husband who doesn’t think he’s getting the most out of his home life and goes to a doctor for advice The doctor adopting the latest fad in lieu of a normal “take two aspirins and call me in the morning” prescribes jogging 10 miles a day and for the patient to call him in a week One week later as suggested the husband called “How is everything at home?” asked the doctor “How in the dickens would know?” said the husband “I’m 70 miles from home” That’s jogging As for me give me It allows you to both rest and exercise at the same time Like Calvin Coolidge “I do no choose to Dear Santa I have been a good boy Please bring me a bubble lawn mower I love you Santa Love Josh Hurst Dear Santa I have been a good girl Please bring me a Cabbage Patch doll I love you Santa I run” Love Shanae Crabtree |
