What’s in a Name? Dardanelle Mascot History

In the later years following the Great Depression, high school

football provided a plausible escape from the stark reality. Regula-

tions were questionable at best, however Dardanelle fielded a

team, and played their home games on an off campus field located

at the south edge of town. It is not known if the team had a mas-

cot. The field was sandy, favorable for the growth of sticker burs, and the ideal

home to the six-lined Race Runner. When leaving the field after the game, and

having a painful encounter with the grass burs, a visiting player (excluding the ex-

pletives) exclaimed, :nothing should play on this field but those little sand lizards.”

Overheard by a local fan, “sand lizard”, that has a nice ring, a mascot was born.

Today teams may exert a lot of time and energy to find the “right” mascot, or it

might be as simple as crossing a field on a warm autumn afternoon. The grass burs

have been replaced with soy beans, and pesticides have all but snuffed out the

Six-Lined Race Runner, but the Sand Lizards live on to fight another day!

Contemplate

By Destiny DeFaith Conrad

Bore into me the vision you see

And flee

From the light of day

To come with me at night.

Breathe into the weeping winds

A soft word

Of wonder

And whir from the light that

Bares you naked

To elope with night who

Covers you safe

Come away, I say, come dose

In the Dragon’s den

At dusk

And muse in the mirror’s

Mighty musk

Of darkened view…

And spew like a searing poison

Truth

To the white and wither them grey-

A hue of

Bitter balance;

The natural and accurate perception of

Life

In all its forms

Come. Come re-discover the meaning of its existence

As well as your own hand

And mind

Just Because I'm A Teenager

by Kimbraly Tidwell

Just because I'm a teenager

I'm not a drama queen

I'm not always mad

I'm not dumber than you


I don't do drugs

I don't sneak out

I don't have to blend in


I understand more than you think

I think more than you understand

and I actually care about more than ma-

terial things

Just because I'm a teenager-respect me

for who I am.
