I GUEST EDITORIAL By Geo. L. Howeller The Powell Valley Mission Covenant Church was filled to overflowing one day last week when several hundred persons came to hear a memorial ser- vice. It was a memorial ser- vice to a lovely girl who had lost her life beneath the wheels of a truck the evening of Jan. 31 at Compton’s Corners west of Sandy. It was given for a girl whose sun, as the officiating clergyman expressed It, went down in the morning of her life, and she lay down to eternal sleep. Mary Jane Meier was only six teen years old. And yet it was not the youth ful age of this girl that gate the memorial service its pathos and sadness. Rather It was the great loss that her death occasioned, for she was a girl of fine quali ty, of gifted ability, of high principles and moral standards. She was a girl who one day would most probably have become a de voted wife and mother, the guid ing light In a respectable home, a pillar of goodness and strength within her own community. She was reserved but not timid, kind but not over-sollcltous, talented but not ostentatious. She was genuine. How did this tragedy occur? This is a relatively simple quest ion to answer. Janie, as her parents affectionately called her, was on her way home. While waiting at Compton’s Corners to make a turn to the left, her car was struck from the rear by another. The Impact catapulted her into the lane of on-coming traffic, and she died instantly. Why did it happen? This quest ion, too, can be answered with out too much difficulty. For one thing, the driver of the car who struck Janie from the rear was probably not completely alert to for himself. They are questions the situation confronting him, in that have been asked from time The fatalist and view of the fact that he was arres Immemorial. ted for driving while under the the cynic answers them one way; influence of alcohol.

(Quote) “That all boys should start sports together and progress at the same level through school.’’ To move ahead beyond his class, a boy becomes a misfit and his whole personality will suffer as he will find it hard to be accepted again by his own classmates.’’ Doesn’t the students own pet ition with nearly 400 of the stud ent body signatures (time ran out to gather more) speak for Itself? cause they are mature enough— but should wait for their own age group’’-- How do you account that fresh men are allowed to take place ment tests to see if they have the ability to take advanced sub jects not offered to Frosh? What is this doing to their personal ities to be taking subjects above their class level? Do they belong in classes with older youngsters or should they too be held back according to grade? Aren’s these placements tests very similiar to the tests the coaches are putting the boys through to see where they belong In sports? These students signed in protest at the board’s ruling on varsity competition. The boy presenting the petition said it so nicely, “We feel that If a boy has the ability, he should be able to compete.’’ He said, “We feel that if a boy from “our class’’ be it fresh men, sophomores, junior or senior Is out there playing, he is repres enting all of us from that class. We are proud of him, not jealous of him.’’ Following this same theory “that children should not be given a chance to move ahead just be- Wonder if the board will consider the hundreds of students names on the petition and the feelings of those who did take the time to state their views at the last meeting when they re-vote on varsity comp- etltlon? Or will it be just the opinions of a five man board? Name Withheld Note: The Post Is always glad to print the views of Its readers. Letters must be signed by the writer.
