U HOW WOULD YOU like to run an entire high school from a in P. E. (There I havent met.) are three more broom doeet? Would you enjoy becoming a school teacher spin . . .after spending all summer on the lake? And how would you like going to bed every night with the knowledge that your house might fall out from under you during the night? All these things-a- nd oodles more-tu- rn up on my fascinating Monday tours into Summit County. My experiences with the wonderful people there are something to look forward to-- and to remember. ' ELMO HOYT, the popular principal of South Summit High, is the guy in the closet. The new building program is taking shape, but it wont be ready for a while yet.

Hes afraid to lean back because he might fall out into the hall. One can 'delegations call upon him. There isnt room for more than one visitor. Something new has been added to the SSHS faculty, too-br- alns AND beauty. Jans Finlenson, new in Home Ec and a graduate of USU, is an absolute beauty. Equally lovely is Aneta McCall, of Delta and BYU, new MORE SCHOOL TEACHERS are those who spent the summer running the concession at Echo Reservoir. Nine of them went topther to 'lease the lake, and have worked like slaves to clean up and beautify the grounds, taking out no cash returns, putting all the income back, and are tickled pink to have made enough to build a new ramp next year. Tanned brown as Indians, a bevy of beauties, they were featured on Pap One of the Ladies section of the Trib recently.

This week the Democrat an meeting in Chicago for their National Convention. Just a fef weeks ap, Convention Chairman Jerry Ford pounded the gavel to end the Republics counterpart at Miami Beach It might be interesting to take a look at past conventions-som- e of the interesting one, and even a few which had a little humor to them. (And, Im sun youll agree, after six hour of straight talk, debating lch nominations, and bally we all experienced the third night at the GOP Miami humor was a bit Conventton-t- he drained!) The nomination convention is actually an American invention. It came about purely because the people wanted a voice in the selection of the man to head the nation. (Before the Revolution, a select group of people selected the nominee, the man who was best known to most.) The group of people met in hoo-wh- what was called a 'Caucus, The word's beginning is not known for sure, although some attribute its birth to the Al- Indian gonquin word Kaw-kaw,w- us, meaning to consult, to speak. Anyway, In the caucus, the Colonists chose their leaders. And the idea spread to Congress and the State Legislatures. From 1796, Congress chose its national leaders and the legislatures chose the state leaders. Still, the political few were in charge, and the people still wanted a voice. In New York, in 1824, a state nominating convention was held. The idea spread to other states and finally took hold on the national level. But it took an obscure party ic to do it. The of those one political party, group which came to life and died in one campaign, held their national convention in Philadelphia, September, 1830. Anti-Mason- National The Republican V to name . . . Then they talk for another 30 minutes. A woman from Oregon seconded for the ninth time, with a voice that probably could have been heard if she would have stayed in Oregon. A guy from Utah talked so long and loud that all of us couldnt see how it could be anybody in the world he was nominating but Brigham Young- - -- but he crossed everybody by seconding McAdoos nomination. I Just returned from Chicago where I attended field hearings for the Small Business Administration, of which I am a member of the Select Committee. And Just like the Republicans, the Democrats have gone all out with the red, white and blue bunting and all kinds of crasy signs, with the possible exception of a little stronger show of Mc-Ad- oo Service men. But this is all for the outside. Inside Convention Center, Im sure it will have the trademarks of past conventions-wheth- er they be Republican, Democrat or Whig Party.
