THE DEER HUNT Two Legs or Four Legs? Jolenc Reeve doesn’t have to hunt for her “dear.” Rebecca Estes and Ann Paystrup prepare another delicious batch of pancakes. The deer hunt is the special time of year when most members of the male gender, and a few of the female, get away from civiliza- tion and are a little more barbaric than usual. (For you girls it usually falls near Sadie Iiawkins so that boys have an excuse not to go to Sadies.) Restraining one of these avid hunters from the ecstasy of tramping through the forest in weather no respectable deer would be caught dead in, the thrill of eating hobo stew, eggs that stick to the bottom of the pan, tin foil dinners with burned potatoes, or not eating at all because you left vour food home by accident is a major felony. After you eat, you’re off to find your prey. While you walk along beside a stream, odds arc about 99-100% chance of falling in and getting wet. If you finally get a deer (even il it’s a spike), you have to drag it out of that wilderness 200 miles from nowhere, to your vehicle. After you get home you have to skin it and cut it (unless you take it to the meat packing plant, which gets a lot of business during the hunting seasons.) There is something out there which draws people. When ask- ed what the deer hunt meant to her, Paige Wright said she thought of “the desire to go.” The deer hunt is big at the school too. School was excused for a day and a half, and the half we went was spent in participating in a number of various activities. For example: stuffing yourself with pancakes, telling tall tales, doing a mountainman run, etc. And if you didn’t participate in any of the activities, it was possi- ble to enjoy them by just being a spectator.

I CRUISE RED DEVIL DRIVE! Student Council changes street name For lack of better things to do this fall, the Student Coun- cil decided to change the name of the street in front of the school, (previously 900 South) to Red Devil Drive. Student- body President Ben Godfrey presented the proposal to the Ci- ty ( ouncil and the measure passed unanimously under the con- dition, in Mayor Brent Ilaymond’s words, “that the kids wouldn’t drive like 4h— down it.” I he new street signs were presented at a dance in honor ol the change, and the Student Council decorated with a few street signs of their own: No Passes, Beware of Sophomores, Watch for curves (especially 3(5-24-36), No parking until after 10:00 p.m. Beware of Soft Shoulder, D’Velle Crossing, etc. The Council also designed and sold “I cruise Red Devil Drive” bumper stickers. “School pride was increased,” said Lynnae Whiting, “but more importantly, the students were shown that the City Council and the citizens of Springville had a real in- terest in them.” (copy and photography — Lynnae Whiling) The oversized red and white street signs that were install- ed make it hard not to notice the change. A “street dance” was held in honor of the change, and Helen Carpenter and Stacy Strong came dress- ed appropriately for the occasion. 30 RED DEVIL DRIVE
