Show desk of the Superintendent Nebo District is faced with two major problems, both of equal importance and both requiring careful deliberation and planning. Nebo District is faced with making some important decisions relative to updating school facilities in the near future. A representative study council has been operating for several months and will present to the board their recommendations in the near future. Their recommendations, coupled with other data, including recommendations from the Principals Council, will be discussed and some plan worked out to present tlie proposed program to the public for their consideration. It is hoped that within the ne't six months a long range building program will be adoted which will establish priorities and expenditures on sc liool buildings. The other problem is in the area of curriculum and instruction. Currently we are operating on a sort of unwritten 1 hilt sophy of education without well defined goals and objectives. There is a :,!m; need to establish the educational pl.il .mphy and future plans for future impioveinent in the district. Many fine e iur 'tional programs are now in oj.era-th- n and more are being planned, but th. ut established goals and guidelines tla programs could move in directions that are not consistent with what we believe to be the desired goals and pract- f i ?

The plan is to visit outstanding schools and make a careful study of Nebos needs as viewed by parents as well as educatiors.

Garth Olsen at m-- grocerie.-,- Dear Reader: I wanted to write something of a humorous nature this week, but my experiences havent been too humorous. You know occasionally things happen in our lives that becomes a part of us so strongly that we remember them forever and we hope that the thrill of the occasion will never be forgotten even though these thrills may be of a serious nature. Such an experience was mine just last week when we presented the three act play, Our Town. An author like Thornton Wilder can insert lines in his play that gives food for thought but when a director finds a student that interprets an authors lines so strongly that while hes listening, life becomes more meaningful to him, lie realizes that lie is having an unforgettable experience. knr you who saw or know the storj of the j lay know the strong meaning, but let's review together some of the lines that make the show great, and you who haven't read it may be curious enough to search it out and give your days more meaning. In the third act of the play, Emily, a young lady of 26, dies bringing a child into the world; she takes her place among the dead peojile on stage but feels she can go back to living again so she is given the day of her choice to return to earth for one day. She returns for her 12th birthday but she finds living isnt as beautiful as she wanted it to be. May I quote Emilys line as she leaves to go back to her grave: I cant, I cant go on. It goes so fast. We dont have time to look at one another. I didnt realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed. Take me back up the hill - to my grave. But first: Wait! One more look. Groworld, Good-by- e Mama and Papa. Goodbye to clocks ticking .. and Mamas sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths .. and sleeping and waking uji. Oh, earth, youre too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it, every, every minute? Tin-- , line is spoken totheStageManager whi fci ms to have the power of God. He No, the saints and poets, majbe; hey dn omp. Emilv: Im ready to go back." Well, there a little cutting frutn Our Town." It portrays the daily life, marriage and death and a great lesson can be learned in those three acts. You know we certainly miss a lot of beautiful things that happen right around us each day, but most of us dont take time to notice them much. If anything will convert a person to appreciate life while he has it, seeing or reading Our Town will do the trick.
