Show OUR SAFETY 'IF' It was between the fourth and the fifth periods and everywhere I heard the din of the passing students . Fourth period had gone well with me, so I swung along, whistling a happy tune. All went well until I reached the place where one hall meets another. There I was completely swept off my feet by someone. I found myself shaking hands with the floor. When I recovered, had my speed been up to par, I would have paid, with interest, that Bible saying, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto to you." As it was, I continued my way. This may sound slightly "far-fetched", but it is the truth. The way some students go barring here and there is enough to send anyone to Provo . When you get knocked down, you don't get picked up. At least not by the person who put you there . If your books are scattered from the third floor to the first, you pick them up. If you lose a purse, you have about one chance in ten of find¬ing it. Oh, it is a hard life all right. And there isn't a thing I can do about it. If you give an "eye for an eye" and a "tooth for a tooth", you are considered an uneducated heathen, and you are expelled from society. If a few of these 70-yard dashers would pause to see that they have the hall to themselves, instead of laying out about six "obstacles", it wouldn't be quite so bad . If they could be taught the words, pardon, please, excuse, lady, gentle¬man , and a few other simple English words, they might calm themselves down to a point where the rest of us could walk beside them and still remain healthy. Ida Rose Lanprford A PRODIGAL SON Coach Moesinger is an example of "local boy makes good." After attending OHS., Weber College, the U.A.C., Columbia University in New York City, and three coaching schools at Logan, he returns to the home town, to a new high school, to coach our teams and to teach physiology. He is working hard to build up the physical ed department and to promote an intramural program. It would be his pride and joy if O.H.S. were to win the state cham¬pionship in basketball and football. Also, possessing true school spirit, he would like to see a -one-thousand per cent student body. His aims are high but not impossible. Everyone who knows him would vauch that he is an asset to our school because he sets an example of good sportsmanship and honest endeavor. In case you have been puzzled about where and why Coach Moesinger picked up his pet "Ohm yes-s." (An accent on the yes) it was from a politician many years ago who used it as a term of agreement to gain popularity votes. June Spong |
