A Stallion doesn't do a heck of a lot of good until a Cowboy trains and teaches it. Same situation is with a scholar who needs to know how to put his thought process together with an idea. A solider or a football player isn't going to win against his opponent until his potential for violence is controlled. A few days ago, I witnessed such a mentor with Mike Bowring, the Football Coach at Juab High School, who lead his team to a State Championship win, which has never been done before. As he introduced the Captains, one could feel and see the enormous good this Coach is teaching those monster looking kids, not just for the game, but for life itself. Todays story isn't just about Coach Bowring, but touches on the importance of teachers who know how to manipulate their students in a positive way. I therefore bring you the teachers of Nephi High, Class of 1926. I was well acquainted with some of them, and I give them praise for how they helped kids nearly a century ago. The school building still functions well as the Juab County Complex, which was built in 1922, and the school song was changed in 1928. It was then know as Juab High School. The Sand Dunes by the Ockey Ranch up Nephi Canyon is now called Petticoat. Must have been a man that changed it!
