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.
