 WORK Tiii UH ns m tn m You can always spot a working student. He waits slowly; hair and clothes a mess. It isn't easy to go to school, rush to work, and still do the things expected of a stu- dent. You can't sluff a day be- cause you'll never make it to work. Homework is hard when blow drying your hair. The wind keeps changing the pages. It's awful to turn in a term paper with Wheaties and milk on the title page. But students will still work. 10 thumbs 2 left feet Once in every life, a prob- lem comes along. And I had two hands, ten thumbs that did not belong. They were on my left and they were on my right. I was always dropping things. What a terribly embar- rassing plight. September through May, my two left feet always played. On ice and snow they just couldn't stay. Oh my broken heart crys each and every night. I hope someday I will be normal. Is there any way that I might? Folks call me clumsy, but I must disagree. My ten thumbs and two left feet are the things that make up me. for real... Bathroom blues and the male status corner were only part of Uintah. Many problems faces us, yet attendance still increased, school spirit grew greatly, academic classes saw larger enrollments, and the community ac- quired a better opinion of the school in general. We were not perfect and we realized it. But it was our school. It was what we made it. Men or Boys? There is a time in every boys life when he has to be a man or at least feel like one. On qualification is that of growing hair on the chest. Unfortunately for some-this feat is not possible. While females feel sad and may shed tears over the subject, male comrads will harass and torment you. Cluing, sta- pling, and taping are not socially ac- cepted. Discussing this with one of the wizards of the trade may be profitable. But as few of these have been sighted, we regret to inform the male population that hints are not available. So men will be men and boys will be boys. Close encounter of the 1st kind. Trying to persuade the substitute it is an emergency but she still says no. Close encounter of the 2nd kind. Finding that once you get there, the facilities have run out. Close encounter of the 3rd kind. Looking into the mirror and seeing yourself lets you know the Batnroom Blues have encountered you. i Chow time When noon comes, everyone from teachers to sophies is exhausted from the trials of education. Hunger pains grow and all await the bell. It finally rings and Sophomores roughly elbow their way to the grub. Dutifull Sen- iors bring up the rear while teachers stay behind til the rush is over. If an arms length is kept between one- self and others, one may make it to the lunch room safely. .. Lube-9-Cop! Getting the first traffic ticket is a big event in the lives of many. Once one has managed to get oneself pulled over, coming out on top is another matter. While the reds usually don't result in anything to serious, a good story or maybe even tne truth does wonders to lube the situation. But if the local Cop Shop catches you drag racing or driving recklessly-no amount of pleading or storytelling will save you. r-YTT A true Ute Uintah has many who qualify for the True Ute status. Dtiving a unit to school is the first and most important. A tape deck and accessories (50 to 75 tapes) are also a big must. Being at least five minutes late for every class added also. Last but not least, dragging main hourly announced to all that you are a True Ute. Theme

Many girls came back from Christ- mas with glad hearts and heavy fin- gers. Monthly savings were used as young men patronized local jewelry stores. These promise rings were as different as their receivers. Jealousy and envy were as noticeable as the rings themselves. When the shock was over, recipients took their places with the rookies being labeled as .taken. of 25 m. Slem-U-Vac Remember when you face broke out and you stayed home for 2 weeks thinking you had the measles? Or the time you wondered why you had a 3rd eye on your forehead? Those days are over. A new comdity is available to take care of unwanted beauty mars. Just hook the new Blem- U-Vac to the hose of your vacumn. Turn it on. When contact is made — you have a money back guarentee that defective impairments will be spirited away. The Fuzz wasn't. .. Not needing a razor is some- thing that is hard to face, but it must be accepted as fact. You first realize it when your dad starts taking the blades out of his razor and lets you shave with it. Maybe he just wants you to get practiced up a bit before you try to shave the grissle on your throat. It is very discouraging when you are the only boy in a group of girls and one of them asks, Wno's wearing the after shave? But that's tne breaks. Be patient! Give yourself a couple of years. By then you will need to shave ana won't want to. You wonder how you can pos- sibly face another day of torment Behind every door, around the next corner, beside you in the lunch line, you never know where he will be lurking. Just waiting for you, singing humiliating chants, and following you down the hall, trying to trip you or cause harrassment. You try to ignore him and keep a stiff upper lip, but you realize that you are fighting a losing battle. So you gird up you loins and try to face othe fact that there is no way to hide from the harrasser. Conservation Conservation is a problem. At Uin- tah most conservation goes on with money. Girls save by not buying new dresses for a dance because they go with their friends instead. Meanwhile, boys conserve by not taking girls to dances. A typical Ute can be found in Sprouse Reitz parking lot; saving gas. Depression and inflation hit as conservation continued. fuiie sfciPiiY One of the biggest investments a Ute student makes is his or her automobile. Whether he or she actually bought it, makes no dif- ference. Gas, chrome wheels tape decks, and accessories all make up the big investment. Keeping this valuable possession safe while you are in class isn't easy. One way to avoid being hit by someone's middle aged mother driving him to school is to park in the most obscure place possible, the church lot being one. To prevent those annoying small dents on your door you might try one of the following: 1. Park next to Dr. Gividen. 2. Ride the bus. 3. Park between 2 new cars. 4. Create unusual paterns. 5. Park sideways using 4 spaces. 10 Theme
