B usy Weekend Ahead
Individuals,
and communities, sustain themselves by an
occasional renewal of the spirit and pride in accomplishment.
That’s why these individuals and groups go out at their way on
occasion to do something really worthwhile, and at considerable
expenditure of time and effort.
One of Nyssa’s finest hours came last Friday evening when
members of the Chamber of Commerce showed their appre
ciation to members at the comm unity with i free pancake stgper.
and fed 1,800 people. These chamber members planned, rooked,
served and worked together in a most successful event, and the*
enjoyed it as much as the many who were fed.
People who came not only enjoyed the feed, but stayed around
to visit with friends and neighbors. They enjoyed the music
put on by the students. and the young ones got to visit w .th
Santa Claus.
Not an earth-shattering event as we compart
it with the commercial events preceding Christmas that we
see all around us, and oc television. More a home town, home-
spun kind of an affair that makes everyone who participates
share a warm feeling. A newcomer to Nyssa was overheard
telling one of the chamber members that -this is why 1 moved
to a small town.”
The coming weekend is chock full of another of Nyssa's
finest hours.
Friday afternoon and all day Saturday Nyssa
High School and Mel Calhoun's wrestling organization is host
to 25 wrestling teams and over 250 wrestlers from Idaho,
Oregon and on* from Washington
Literally, Nyssa is the
wrestling capita, at the Northwest for a weekend, and not
many high school events of this kind are more successful.
For one entire two-day period the finest of the area’s
athletes perform on three mats in the gym. and the represen
tation from the big schools from Boise. Caldwell. Nampa as
well
as
the
many smaller schools speaks well for the
organization and the quality of the event put on here. It takes
many people to put on an event of this size and quality, and
none are better than the Nyssa Invitational.
Then on Sunday evening area singers will again put on the
beautiful and sacred presentation of Handel’s Messiah”. Here
again, a community effort with singers representing the adult
community as well as choral groups from various levels within
the Nyssa schools.
The high school concert cbqiz and the c smmumiy choir will

soegs and carols. The audience will participate in these, again
this year under the direction of Gary Condon »hat better
way to usher in the Christmas season?
The
point we would make here is that these affairs aren’t
attended by a small group of proud parents or staunch supporters,
but by large representative parts of the overall community.

Her letter
to
the Editor
appeared in the Nyssa High
School BULLDOGS member20.
1972.
Dear Editor
Since becoming, at least in
part, a member of Nvssa High
School, I have noticed that stu
dents her* are the ben» factors
of a better than average edu
cation. a choice of man* extra
curricular activities, and much
freedom Sadly, however, 1 have
also noted that these same stu
dents are unaware of their good
fortune.
Their fortune lies first of
all in their education. There
are very few small schools in
the United States where such a
wide curriculum is »€fered and
such outstanding teaching is
available. Most small schools
are content to offer the regular
English, for a curriculum which
offered Science Fiction would
take a major organizational ef
fort. Your teachers have taken
the time to make this change,
and therefore to make YOUR
classes interesting.
Not only does Nyssa High
School offer a »ide variety al
subjects in its curriculum, but
also offers its students much
mor* freedom than the average
high school. Students are ' on
their own” doing individual
work in many areas of science
at all levels. The system works
here because students seem to
accept the responsibility of
tbeir freedom and use it wisely
to maintain it.
You are lucky, not only be
cause of your good educate»,
excellent teachers, and free
dom. but also because you can
be more than just an athlete at
Nyssa High School. Not only
is there football, wrestling, bas
kettail. baseball, and track, but
there is a chance to work cm the
school paper, the Tupelo, a dra
matic production. AFS, a choral
production or an instrumental
concert. As a student, you can
choose to participate m any of
these activities and others. Yau
should be an involved partici
pant for fur. and for your edu
cation.
Don’t let yourself be
caught saying.
But. that's for
those other kids.” Th* chances
are that ’those other kids" are
doing
everything
