assured the college representatives j

Willingness of local people to assist

Rec ord Turnout
For Eagles
Track Squad

With spring once more upon us
thoughts again turn towards
track.
OF the many athletic events I'M
dertaken by the local high school,
track is one of the few which
stresses individual performances
although thoughts of teamwork
are not eliminated, results depend
upon the individual.
This is the sport where one
cannot rely on a teammate. More
than any other sport hard work
and long hours is the essence of
success.
Head coach, Toby Kangas, and
his assistant, Don Shading, called
their first practice March % and
over 90 boys reported.
From this number seven are
seniors, 16 are juniors, 90 are
sophomores and 81 are freshmen.
This is undoubtedly the largest
track turnout Sidney has ever had.
In spite of the numbers the out
look for a successful winning sea-
son is dim. Every 1854 letterwin-
ner either graduated last June
or has dropped out of school. AS
the saying goes, This is a build
ing year for the Eagles"
Sidney will open their schedule
Saturday, April 16 when they
play host to a number of schools
In the Sidney Invitationa1. This is
a practice meet and in the past has
been a dual meet with Glendive.
However, with added interest
shown by other schools the cIassi-
~flcation has been changed.
On April %, the Eagles travel
to the Dawson county city for
the Glendive Invitational. On APP
rIl 80 is the annual Sidney Relays
and the following week on May
z is the Glendive Eastern Divi-
Sional. Then May Is and IA the
locals go to Missoula for the State

The highlight of the meeting

director of the Recreation pro-
gram at Billings. He stated that
recreation is something people
take part in of their own free
will to make friends and to have
fun, to promote real fellowship
and personal satisfaction in devel-
oping their skill. He feels that a
good recreation program needs a
full time director and the full
cooperation of the schools and the
use of the school facilities. SIN
Billings 10 or II schools are used
many evenings for the recrea-
tional programs as the people feel
they have such a terrific invest
ment in school buildings that they
should be allowed to use them af-
ter school hours"

pet shows, horseshoe pitching,
soap box derby. twirling, rhythm
band, etc. He said in all programs
they try to stress courtesy and
have the slogan. "A Tough Guy
Can Be a Gentleman, but a Cen
tleman Can't Always Be a Tough
Guy"
Asked about juvenile delin-
quency, he said that is something
he does not believe exists and that
too much emphasis is given to it
today. He stated that what used
to be common horseplay among
boys is now called Juvenile De-
~linquency" and that children are
no worse today than they have
ever been. In closing he COM
mended Sidney for its fine swim
ming pool with open air sanitary
bath houses, for their fine ball
park, football field, city parks and

Rev. Bartrarn
Gives KiWanis
Easter Address

An Easter program was enjoyed at
the kIWanls noon luncheon today with
an Easter talk by Kiwanian John Bar
tram. n speaker was introduced by
Rodney Hansen, program chairman.
In MS address, speaking on the
theme Remember Jesus Christ, Rev.
John Bartram reminded Kiwanians
that Holy Week tells the story of the
greatest week in history. It recalls the
events which took place in Jesus life
during his last week of earthly life.
Remember His hfe," urged the
speaker. 1T was a WeN-rounded life.
Man has come to think of Jesus in
terms of deity. God thinks of Jesus
IN terms of being man at mans best.
His life was a victorious life. He was
bigger than anything that could hap
pen TO him. He could turn a tragedy
into a triumph. His was q helpful life.
The story of his life was briefly and
well put by a New Testament writer
who when speaking of Jesus, wrote,
Jesus, a man of Nazareth who went
about doing good"
Remember his death. II was a trag-
&c death. He died when most of us are
just beginning to live. It was a cruel
death. EVIL is always at its worst
when attacking innocence. His death
was sacrificial. He died for each one
of us.
Remember his resurrection. Death
could not keepl prisoner a Life such as
bAA1b ANN4 ~ 4AAC 4[OLl1 [LLAOAA
was the natural expectation as the
outcome of such a life. Because he
lives again death NO longer holds fear
for those who follow him"
A short business meeting followed
this very inspiring speech.
President Carl Johnson announced
that monthly reports were due and
requested that they be turned in
soon.
Bill Buchholz informed the club
that the very tasty double layer birth
day cake served at the birthday lun-
cheon last Thursday was a gift from

who at the time was basking in the
sunshine in Mexico City.

Police Officer
Louis Whited
Very Much Alive

Recently The Herald received a letter
from a former resident who has been
out of touch with Sidney friends for
several years. inquiring about some
things here. including the unfounded
report they had heard of the death of
Louis Whited in line of duty as a mem
Der of the city police force for many
years. This was supposed to have hap
Dened several years ago when a bull
let he had fired hit something harder
and richocheting. struck and killed
Officer Whited. Of course, that was a
connection of someone's Imagination
that reached fabulous proportions, as
Mr.. Whited is very much alive and
never was involved in such an incident
in his entire career as a police officer.
Needless to say. he was amused, while
p~inching himself to make sure, IN read
inp the letter. He is still an active
member of the Sidney police force.
