You have to make the most of these wonderful days - but the tore is about up to everyone is frantically cramming in the sun and the fun. Thesprees are the best part of going back to schools from hinter to High. Now that mast of the kids are allowed to choose their own clothes, the parents just sit back and moan. Some kids are saying they don't want to go back to schooL Imagine! rm sure school is becom- ing more interesting with the coming of the cornputers and the electronics., They must really be interesting - and the whole future of teaching will also change drastically. "Buck Rogers we are trying - we're trying!" and something new is added.. When I was a kid, just waiting for school to start was an exciting occasion - I loved it! I believed my teachers knew more than I and I was bound I would learn everything they had to offer. Every day was a new adventure into the world and I realized how dumb I was. Needless to say composition and grammar were some of my poortsubjects! - and they still are. But I had the right attitude - and now that I think about it - THAT was very important. In those days the teacher.. worked overtime to make sure no one failed their ex- ams. By the end of the term the teacher was just bone weary. Nowadays you can fail as many terms as you. darn -please. Be as dumb as dA a GODEILITSIGN STAR WEDAY, MGT= 10, lt'.lKG—rte Martha Rathburn you like but the machines will get you through. I have a lot of nice memories of my school days. I enjoyed every day - had a lot of fun sand didn't worry about anything until exam time - and then I could draw a blank on things I knew very well. But I managed to get by with pretty good grades - and was ready for the next Challenge - and I never gave the teachers a rougiitime! See how dumb I am? How times have changed how drastically the world has changed - the attitudes, the teaching methods - the KIDS! I was always one of the "little" ones - but the other kids didn't scare me any - but NOW! I look up at some of these long lanky kids and wonder when they will stop growing - we're going to have a .country of giants. What are giants? Well, in an English Cathedral I saw a Dr. Hook to The group that's been call- ed "...the only swamp- ' boogie -freak -rock -comedy= pop -country -rhythm and blues band in the wort " - Dr. Hook - will be at e - Western Fair grandstand on Monday, September 13. •Dr. Hook defies classifica- tion. In ten.years their recor- dings have ranked on music charts and radio,. station. playlists spanning every musical taste: ' . Their first hit, ' "Sylvia's. Mother" followed by "(I Want to Be On) The Cover of the Rolling Stone" gave the • band an image that paved the way to bankruptcy in 1974. In typical fashion they rebounded in 1975 with an album appropriately titled "Bankrupt". The album con- tained "Only Sixteen", and it turned into Dr. Hook's third chart -topping single. Their roller -coaster career has generated an interna- tional assortment of gold and • platinum releases including Little Bit More", "Shar- ing the Night Together"; and "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman." "Sexy Eyes" became the seventh gold single for the group and the first record to make the R&B charts; • Their latest, "Baby, Let Your Blue Jeans Talk" is currently climbing the pop charts. Flexibility and a zany sense of ' humor, have been the key to much of their suc- cess. Their happy-go-lucky stage attitude reflects a philosophy of dealing with the ups and downs of the music business that has enabled them to enjoy the highs and not be too clob- bered by the lows. The members of Dr. Hook (Ray Sawyer is the one with body of a Man of the 17th century and he was less than five feet tall. The giant was six feet high. Now the norm is six feet - what will the population look like in 50 years when all us shorties 7r. have "gone away"? Honestly - I'd lake to sit in the comer sometime and see how the teachers cope with these big kids. What a challenge - mentally and physically.
