Show : The Scribe SPORTS SCOPE By I Grant Woodward Jerry Dalebout Finally, after 11 years, the athletes of South high school have an insurance program to pay for all injuries acquired while participating in school events. The state high schools have had this program in effect for a number of years, but it was not until last year that the idea was accepted at South. The coaches, athletes, and many other parties tried year after year to get this insurance plan into effect, but somehow their efforts were futile. We adopted this plan from the Provo high school. The first thing which the applicant must have is a medical card from his doctor, which states thafl he is in the proper physical condition. con-dition. Then he must pay $1.75 in order to be eligible for the in- i jury insurance in case he is injured. e This plan is a fine thing to have for anyone who is anticipating antici-pating to play any athletics, and the offer should be taken, advantage of. When participating in sports, anything can happen and usually does. Athletes are being hurt all the time, and no one is able to say when an accident is liable to occur in any phase of athletics. In case one of the more unfortunates does break an arm or leg, and he has insurance to cover it, everything will be taken care of in the way of doctor bills. You can readily see why everyone has been working to get this insurance program pro-gram placed at South. Maybe this article sounds like an advertisement, but it is not intended for that. We are trying to have every person in ths school see the importance of the insurance. We have finally acquired the long sought insurance plan, ; and here it is LET'S KEEP IT.
