An awful senior year
Contrary to the picture on the front page of The Gazette, the seniors from Doherty High School were not as happy to graduate as to get out of the pouring rain at Garry Berry Stadium. The seniors had been at the stadium since 12 p.m. to practice for a 3 p.m. ceremony. However the 3 p.m. start was delayed until 4 p.m. because all the rain had damaged the sound system. The soaking wet students were removed to a building to sit in their soaked clothing while the mortar boards wilted.
The sun did shine and some of the students got their diplomas before the rain started again, with thunder and lighting, but the handing out of diplomas carried on.
Commentary: The ‘Golden Rule’ for a better mouth
By Michael F. Chandler
For the Victorville Daily Press
The Bible may be rightly referred to as the volume of “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.”
Following upon its foundational theological propositions are multiple directives on how to treat people. The so-called “Golden Rule” is expressed in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matt 7:12) and His Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:31-34).
This standard of love is attainable only by the perfect God (Matt 5:43-48), yet the saying dates as far back as the Law of Moses (Lev 19:18) and is regarded in the NT as the second greatest commandment (Matt 22:39; Mark 12:31; Rom 13:9; Gal 5:14; James 2:8).
