An Unsightly Problem

As I sit at lunch, I notice an unsightly problem. I look around and everywhere I turn, young men’s pants are hanging below their waist. This problem gives the young man an image that, in wearing his pants below his gluteus maximus, he disrespects himself and his community. One must ask: “Who in their right mind wants to see your undergarments?”

When you can see undergarments, or have to hold your pants up when you walk, your pants are too low. Now I understand what you are thinking. I have only presented a problem, but no solution. Well my dear people, the solution is simple. PULL UP YOUR PANTS!

They have these inventions for helping aid in the proper pant ride height. They are called belts and suspenders. I believe that if you are at school and your pants are too low, you should be required to wear a pair of suspenders until the end of the school day. If this rule is enforced at school then maybe, just maybe, we can encourage youths to keep their pants at the height that they are designed to be.

Now’s your chance to join an activity at Desert Hills High School.

Students at Desert Hills High School have many opportunities to become involved in clubs, sports or other activities. This past week, students auditioned for an upcoming play, “Dracula: The Musical,” while a number of sports teams held their first meetings on campus.

“Dracula: The Musical,” a spoof on the tale by Bram Stoker, will be performed at the Mesa Arts Center on May 6-9, 2010, and is directed by longtime Desert Hills drama instructor Cat Hartmann. DHHS student actors previously have performed a number of plays at the Mesa Arts Center, including “Clue” and “Grease!”

Students also met recently with coaches and Athletic Director Teresa Quinn to discuss the upcoming baseball, softball and soccer seasons. Room on the rosters is still available to any student wishing to participate in a sport, club or activity at Desert Hills High School. For more information, contact the school at 480-813-1151.
