Gateway to the West his own end zone and throwing a 93 yard scoring strike to Ike Harris. Along with 46,000 partisan St. Louis fans, we cheered while Frank Gifford and Howard Cosel called the game for the national t.v. audience. RENDEZVOUS After the game, the two groups rendezvoued under the ' 600 foot high stainless steel arch known as "THE GATEWAY TO THE WEST." Built on several acres that slope into the Mississippi River, the Jefferson National Memorial is a must on any sightseers list. A museum dedicated to the great American Westward Movement is located un-derground beneath the arch. There you can see historic displays commemerating the West and for a small fee, ride to the top of the arch where on a clear day you can see thirty miles into Illinois and if you look West, thirty miles into Missiouri. Next week: We get lost. A SERIES OF ARTICLES ABOUT THE AUTHORS TRIP TO THE NATIONAL CLASS A INVITATIONAL SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT by Jack Hill Six Flags over Mid America is an amusement park 20 miles West of St. Louis and boasts the "longest, fastest and highest roller coaster in the world," THE SCREAMING EAGLE. Our visit coincided with the opening of school in Missouri ans so we had the place "almost" to ourselves. After several rides on the Eagle, plus winning some stuffed animals throwing darts and footballs ( these games are rigged to take advantage of the beer and coffee drinkers, they didn't expect a group of g Softball players) half the group drove back to St.Louis to see a game while half stayed at Six Flags. Guess which group I went with? BUSCH STADIUM Nestled four blocks from the Great Arch is Busch Stadium. It's one of the magnificient new sports stadiums built during the last decade. A complete bowl, the a-rchitecturally beautiful stadium seats 55,000 plus and quickly changes from baseball to football by a system of moveable bleachers that roll on a railroad type track. The Cards (football version) were hosting former cross town rivals, the Chicago Bears. Two great running backs, Terry Metcalf and Walter Payton, on the same field tur-ned the crowd on. Card q.b. Jim Hart, iced the game by calmly droping into School i and Home by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty Executive Secretory Utah Education Association Needs of Students Talked About by Educator This Week by Dr. Daryle J. McCarty There's a group of youngsters in Utah schools who urgently need something from you. Understanding. For some reason that medical science does not yet understand, these children experience periods of uncon-sciousness that has given rise to a lot of myths. The disorder is called epilepsy. The Epilepsy Foundation of America reports that accor-ding to careful estimates, one in every 50 children has epilepsy. If that estimate holds true for Utah, it means our state could have more than 6,000 young people with this disorder. Many of them will outgrow the blackouts. Others will keep the blackouts from hap-pening, simply by taking medication every day. Some will have seizures in school or some other public place. This can be embarassing if onlookers don't understand the situation and don't accept the youngster. And why not? Some of history's most brilliant per-sonalities are thought to have seizures. Among them are Socrates, Byron, Alexander the Great, Handel, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Charles Dickens, Alfred Nobel, Vin-cent van Gogh, Tchaikovsky and Dante. Maybe a Twentieth Century Socrates is attending school in Utah today. If so, he may never have an opportunity to use his brilliance in a constructive way unless the attitudes of a lot of people change. A noted physician said that epilepsy "is the only common disorder which leaves the sufferer more handicapped by the attitude of society than by his disability." Parents, teachers, friends and relatives of youngsters who have seizures ought to expect these kids to succeed. If we expect them to do well in school, in developing talents, at work, in their relationships with other people, they probably will. When we do that, we're ex-pecting the same from them as we are from other young people. That's the way it ought to be. Go into elementary school classrooms and you may find the students playing that old game "Simon Says." It's not just a game, though. It's a lesson. Students who are playing Simon Says are geting a lesson in listening. Some years ago a resear-cher showed that 70 percent of the average adult's working day was spent in conversation and 45 percent of that time was spent listening. Research in the elementary classroom led to the finding that 57.5 percent of class time was spent in listening, and later it was learned that an estimated 90 percent of the class time in high schools and colleges is spent listening. Okay, but just how well do we listen? It's not unusual to encoun-ter people who ask for repetition of what was said, even though these people don't have hearing dificulty. Research shows that the average person will retain only half of what he or she hears, no matter how much the person concentrates. And two months later the listener can be expected to recall only half of that amount. Educators have been giving students exercises that challenge them to listen, and "Simon Says" is only one of them. For instance, a teacher may have the students close their eyes and listen for several seconds then ask them to list every different sound they heard during that time. Sometimes the teacher will reciet directions that might be given to a traveler attempting to reach a par-ticular place and ask the students to repeat them. Parents might read telephone or ZIP code num-bers aloud just once and ask their children to write them down. Many more sophisticated drills are being used. Educators have found that when listening instruction has been given, pronounced gains have been made in the students' listening skills. Still, the subject must be exciting, or a least in-teresting. If a person must be subjected to a "blah" speaker, the listener will soon find relief by taking mental excursions. We can look for a lot more information on the art of listening coming to light, and as students acquire this skill, it may lead to more success in others areas. Homesteading . . .

Timp called it "Homesteading" because you can't have a Homecoming to a school in it's first year. Gary Moosman, who leads PG in almost every offensive category, had run 29 yards early in the second period to give PG a 6-- 0 lead. Defense highlighted action throughout the game and just before half, Randy Van Wave spearheaded a great Viking goaline stand that held Timp four times inside the one yard line. 0PTI0N Gary Moosman prepares to option Timpviews Ken Webb, 88.

Each and every participant must give a hearty thanks to John and June Frampton and all the other people who helped put on the races. Tireless efforts of Linda Millar at the gate and Kathv Frampton in the pits often went unnoticed. So many helped that it's hard to put down all the names. Witty Pete Campbell, who kept everyone informed over the PA system, and Kent Roundy t ' .

I wish to make a few observations of what impressed me the most during the year. I believe that first and foremost are the families and friends who form the rooting section. I know the excitement and pride of watching my son Marty compete and win and lose. The joy and pride of parents watching their children do something well cannot easly be described. Those other proud parents, the Radmalls and the Campbells and the Sweats know what I mean. The Framptons are a very special group inasmuch as they root for so many com-petitors like uncles, cousins, and so forth. Carolyn has her own group of sup-porters. We have watched fierce competition on the track and boundless friendship in the pits. A strange kind of comradery and friendly association developed during the year and some of these memories and friendships will endure for a lifetime. There have been quarrels and dissension at times, but with any competition comes disagreement and contention. Everyone wants to win and believes that they will win or they wouldn't be at the track. Wounds heal and by next spring everyone will be out who managed the pits were two other invaluable people. The participants them-selves made the races what they were. Steve Turner with his mischievous look, Grant Leonard who drives so hard and intently and Robert Newman who worries and frets and then goes out and wins. Quiet Danny Houston, LeAlma and Norm Rhodes who say so little and do much on the track. So many cases names left unsaid, but each had a special bit of personality to add to the events. All good things come to an end and so it is with this years racing. Dick Goetz will have lots of time to find another car, but can he replace the phenomenal yellow bomb that didn't know the meaning of quit? Will the new mini-stoc- k class become the crowd pleaser and who will move up a class and who will move down? So many questions remain unanswered as we all look forward to next season. The pretty old trophy queen this week was Brenda Turner, who did a very good job. Best Looking Car Winners of the Best Looking Car of the year was announced for each class. Pete Campbell took the honors in the Stock Class. Grant Leonard in the Limited, Melvin Radmall in Super Stock and Cliff Campbell in Modified. Rookie of the year went to Dick Goetz and Pete Camp-bell in the Stock class. Rick Newman for the Limited and Robert Kelly, Modified. The awards banquet will be held the first Friday in November where the trophies for these categories along with the high point awards will be given. Trophy Dash Winners Trophy dash winners at this final even were Cliff Camp- - bell, Wes Brunner, John Kunz, Steve Turner, Steve Hansen, Kent Turner and Joe Haroldson. Heat races were won by Marty West, Jimmy Wysong, Doc Root, Robert Newman and LeAlma Rhodes. The Mini Stock driven by Wes Brunner looked Mighty rather than Mini as he put the hurt on the Super Stock Division when they ran a combined heat and main event. Robert Newman made his usual flambouyant finish in the Limited class heat race as he worked so hard to beat Alan Longman who proved to be a top contender. Steve Hansen blossomed on this the final day of racing and did some super fantastic driving which is slightly better than super. John Gooch has to be one of the most likeable of competitors in the Modified class and keeps right on trying and that's what racing is all about. The Main events were won 1 NEW BIKE Jimmy Smith won the new bike donated by Ream's for most bike races won in season. Jim won 14 races and took home 14 trophies during 1977 season. by Cliff Campbell, Wes Brunner, Donald Root, Dick Goetz and Steve Hansen.
