Dear editor,
A big thanks to all who were involved in making Iola High’s Friday footbaqll game a great night of entertainment. Of course it didn’t hurt that the weather was picture perfect, but the whole evening was planned to perfection.
The Homecoming crowning of king and queen is always exciting. I loved the “bombs bursting in air” (fireworks for those of you who weren’t there) during the national anthem.
The halftime was filled with a super dance routine. The band looked great and played well while constantly moving into interesting formations. The cheerleaders did a good job of keeping the crowd cheering and a spirited bunch of students ran across the stadium with every touchdown!
The icing on the cake — or maybe that was the cake itself — was a spunky football team that won the Homecoming game.
Hurrah for Iola!
Flo Haynes,
Iola, Kan.
Dear editor,
Duh, maybe 47 percent of the U.S. people don’t pay income tax because they don’t earn enough to owe any or have anything stashed away in a foreign bank.
During Vietnam, some protested the war by withholding Income Tax that paid for it.
Wars that followed have been done “on the cuff,” so no protest of this sort was possible. But we paid for it just the same.
The hatred toward the poor is similar to the hatred whipped up by a madman many decades ago against a minority Hebrew culture in another country.
And we thought we had laws against hate crimes!
Respectfully,
