Hulett kids learn to be rx)sifive
The second grade classes at the capitols and, yes, even the White can't" from their vocabulary and
Hulett elementary school started
their year accentuating the posi-
tive by becoming aware of the
power of words and how their
choice of words helps them to
realize and use th~ full poten-
tial.
The children wrote individual
lists of their "I Can'ts", things
which they felt they were not
capable of doing. All of the lists
were put in a cardboard box and
the box was buried in a symbolic
ceremony.
The followiug eulogy was read
at the site of "I Can'ts" final
resting place:
"Friends, we gather here today
to honor the memory of "I
Can't". Wldle he was with us on
earth, he, touched the lives of
everyone, some more than others.
His name, unfortunately, has
been spoken in every public
building-schools, city halls, state
House.
We have provided "I Can't"
with a final resting place and a
headstone that contains his
epitaph..
He.is survived by his broth-
ere "I Don't", "I Won't", and "I
Choose Not to" and his cousin, "I
Can". They are not as well known
as their famous relative and are
certainly not as strong and po-
werful yet. Perhaps sOme day,
with your help, they will make
and even bigger mark on the
world.
May he rest in peace and may
all present here pick up their lives
and move forward in his ab-
sence."
Each class then made a Rest in
Peace sign for "I Can't", on
which they listed the names of the
survivors.
The children has discovered
that by eliminating the phrase "I
by using less limiting words in its
place such as "'I choose not to"
or "I can" they are taking re-
sponsibility for themselves.
The second grade teachers,
Dottle Roebuck and Toni Neiman,
• say that they have been amazed
at the carryover from this and
other positive self-concept activi-
ties. The ch~dren are realizing
that they are able to do many
things which they did not pre-
viously believe they were capable
of doing. They are also becoming
very aware of the responsibility
they have for their actions.
The children are good at re-
minding their teachers about us-
ing more positive words in place
of "I can't". So both teachers and
children are being challenged to
be more responsible and to accept
new challenges.

To qualify for production loss
loans, applicants must have suf-
fered at least a 30 percent loss of

As we all agree, Wyoming is a
state that's worth writing about.
Even so, it's perhaps surprising
the number of people who have
done just that-sat down to write
about their experiences, their
neighbors, their county, or their
ancestors.
Often these are small books,
with private printings of only a
few hundred copies. Sometimes
they find a major publisher and
you may see them advertised in a
national magazine. Just about
always, they represent a tremen-
dous amount of work and
research on the part of their
authors, and almoat, as often,
you'll find mention in them some-
where of someone you know or,
knew of, or events you remember.
Your county fibraries have
many of these books-you might
want to look them over next time
you come in. A new one at
Sundance Library is IN SEARCH
OF HOLLYWOOD, WYOMING:
1894--THE SILENT YEARS--
1929, by William R. Huey of
Cheyenne. Huey says in his intro-
duction, "From the beginning of
the motion picture indm~ry in the
late 1890's, Wyoming and its
people have been the subject of
countless themes and motion pic-
ture settings.The film industry
early, the true char-
acter of the Wyoming Western
and produced many a fine actor,
actress, and author."
This book, concentrating on the
silent film era, is the only one on
the subject. The many illuetra-
tions, along with the well-re-

~,
On one particularly cold
~ Jed and Sally decided to
warm up by having a disdmsion
about Florida. Jed took over the
conversation at once, of course. It
went something, like this. "It's
hot-I know, because I've been
there. We went to Disney World,
I i i I i I
remember? It's so hot there, that
if you wipe your face with your
hand, you get wet on these two
fingers end there are two beaches
there and we went to both of
them! And we saw some
dolphins. You could see them
real good with binoodars, but I
didn't have any, so I had to use
my bare eyes. Then we went to an
alligator garden. There was one
with his eyes closed you know?
Well, I thought it was a log that
somebody cut down and carved to
look like an alligator."
We have to be careful about
what we call Alec these days.
He's gotten very touchy. One
afternoon, as Alec drifted out
from the nap room, he was
greeted by Donald. "Hi Alecy"
shouted Donald. Alec's indignant
reply was "I'm not Alecy~ I'm
Alec-Bo-Balec~"
Larry and his pre-school class
were making totem poles. When
Larry's turn came to explain his
drawing, he said "This is my
morn, this is my dog. See, he has
paws, and this is my dad's motor
to the Ram Charger."
Tmvis, Jed and Lucas decided
to breve the cold after lunch.
They put on everything they had
and headed out. Ten minutes
later, they burst back in, breath-
less, with red cheeks. "A little
chilly, boys?" asked Sally, to
which Travis politely replied, "No
thanks, I don't really like chili
very muc.h."
