Pals bond at Skate Palace Jared Clausen and his pal, Jackson Krusen work on their skating skills together. By Jesse Nielsen On Wednesday, March 9th, students of the FFA pals program went to the Ida Grove Skating Palace. They were excused from all classes after first lunch. The students then rounded up their pals and headed for the bus. It was raining, so it was cold and the kindergartners ran to the buses. Luckily there were no falls involved. It took two buses to get all the students there, but the second had plenty of empty seats. At Ida Grove there was another dash to get into the palace and out of the rain. Inside they got the skates and went to it. Many of the little kids skates had to have the bolts tightened to slow them down but some were very good skaters. A few students fell and a couple Page 5, The Ram Write-Up, Maple Valley Anthon- Oto Schools of kids cried, but overall there weren’t many bad spills. The high school students weren’t required to buy the kindergartners any treats, but most did to be nice. During the time they were there the students played the hokey pokey and stand and stoop. Some won free drinks from this. Before they left, a group picture was taken. Then everyone headed to the buses. On the way home, some of the little kids were still energetic but atleast one slept on the way home and others were tired. Overall the trip was well liked with no complaints. Even the bus drivers got in on the skating action. Two rock icons to perform in the area By Jeff Koithan Two of the biggest rock icons will be performing in two different locations nearby! They are Bob Dylan and James Taylor. Bob Dylan is known for being one of the greatest, or arguably the greatest, song writer of all time. Bob began writing when he was in high school and eventually moved to New York after he graduated to pursue a career in music. That’s exactly what he did. At first he began playing around clubs, bars, and anyplace he could play for someone. He was hungry for fame. In the early sixties he started becoming a major figurehead in the civil rights movement and was known for writing excellent protest songs. By 1964, Bob Dylan was everywhere. His words had become so influential that people couldn’t help but notice that this man was different. He was the first to write and sing those kind of songs. He went on to make more albums throughout the decades, and also toured a lot. Now, in his sixties, he is still touring. Bob Dylan will be performing in Des Heap of the Month By Courtney Venteicher April’s pick for heap of the month goes to Sophomore Cameron Tollufsen. Cameron drives a light blue 1976 Ford Granada. Cameron’s grandpa got his car for him about a year ago. He is one of the lucky few who didn’t have to purchase his very own first car for himself. Although Cameron likes his ride, there are a few minor things that do not work! The front right speaker and both back speakers Moines at the Val Air Ballroom on April 21st of this year. It will most definitely be a night to remember. The second legend is James Taylor. He is known for having one of the most soothing voices in music history and is also known for the beautiful sound he makes with his guitar. James Taylor started playing guitar when he was fairly young. In the early sixties, he started playing it constantly. Soon, in 1968 he signed a record deal with Apple Records and made his first album. His first success finally came in the early seventies with his second album Sweet Baby James, which was an instant classic in rock n roll history. He began touring all over the world throughout the years and is still touring today. James Taylor will be coming to Sioux City to play at the Orpheum Theater on April 17 of this year. Two of the greatest music legends of all time are coming to the surrounding areas! Don’t miss them. do not work. The dash lights don’t seem to want to work either. Also, in the morning, when Cameron is ready for school, he has to let his car warm up for awhile, otherwise it will die if he puts it into drive. Some experiences Cameron has had with his car include being stuck in a snow drift and “going in the ditch three times and having to be pulled out once,” stated Cameron. Cameron’s best memory with his car would have to be going through a muddy dirt road with it!
