OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
They said Paul Anderson
was a pretty strong young
man, and they were right.
The famed weight lifter
proved it by a few feats of
strength while he was in
town Tuesday. Among them
was the liting of about ten
people, including football
coach Denvard Snell.
Anderson is a gentleman,
doing work for his church.
Thank goodness he is gentle,
for if he ever decided to go
out and tear up the town,
he could do it.
After seeing the man in
person, I decided I wouldn’t
challenge him to a contest
of strength. After all, he was
a visitor in our town, and 1
didn’t want to embarrass him.
—O—
l’m sure many of the
students are aware of it, un
less times have changed
even more than I think,
since I was a student. I used
to keep close watch on the
thing, and I was never
caught unaware, but in
case some of you failed to
notice, the school term is now
over half over.
As Pogo says, from here
on in, it’s uphill all the way.
Henry Durham says it, too,
but he admits Pogo thought
of it first.
I’ve checked and rechecked
the testimony and evidence,
and I am now convinced it
actually happened:
The Baptists had a gather
ing of tneir members the
other night, and they DID
NOT take up collection.
They announced beforehand
there would be no collection
plates passed around, and I
didn’t doubt their word. I
just had to wait and see it,
io be sure.
—o—
happened again. The
lead in the space race between
our side and the Russians has
changed again.
A Saturn 1 super rocket
propelled the world’s heaviest
satellite into orbit Wednes
day, and in the twinkling of
an eye (and there were a few
blinking, what with all the
sparks and smoke), the Uni
ted States overcame a five
year deficit and went two or
three months ahead.
Os course this score isn’t
official yet.
—O'-
Paul Mosely has tossed his
cap into the ring, and he’s
out for another term as our
only official Co-ron’-er, as he
says it.
1 haven’t heard Paul admit
it, but someone said his cam
paign slogan is: You can be
dead right if you vote for
Paul. .
This sounds mighty con
vincing and I imagine it will
get some kind of results.
Congrats to all .of us be
cause our SCHS debaters are
second best in the state!
This is a high honor, but I
still can’t,accept the idea of
encouraging young people to
argue.
It’s been my observation
most young’uns have native
ability and large amounts of
tendencies io argue about al
most anything.
Os course there are differ
ences in arguements and de
bates, or so I’ve been told.
