She not tion that one of the best math only proved that her teaching teachers to teach at Manti High School is leaving our midst next year. Jari Stokes is the ninth grade math teacher this year. We have been very fortunate and honored in having her teach our children. Due to her special attention and skills are adequate but that they are outstanding. The tests came back with an average of the mode with the mean at 81 at which is excellent. outstanding teaching skills, our children will enter 10th grade next year well prepared and competitive in math. The students in Mrs. Stokes class love her and most of the parents are completely happy and satisfied with her teaching skills. Unfortunately, however, like anyone who is in a teaching position, she has a few detractors, a very few. Consequently she was told to give a comprehensive test to her 74, 92, Thompson, Diane Adams, Barbara Lund and many others who agree with this letter but were available to sign. un- about engineer boots being like too groovy. When we got older, we got bolder. A whole generation did, apparently. The revolution came, and schools allowed girls to wear pants (one year before I graduated. Boys werent sent home for trims. People eventually stopped seeing clothes as radical political statements and saw them as mere fashion statements. And being part of the generation that witnessed the wardrobe war, saw the surrender and toasted the transition, I solemnly swore, as many of us did. May 10th. that w hen I was a parent, I would respect my childrens rights to wear what they dam well chose. Which doesnt quite explain why I had the irresistible urge to rip out he carelessly when my son's ear stuck an earring in it one day. Or why Im embarrassed when my other son belts his pants so the crotch hangs down to his knees. Or why it bothered me the week he and his friends decided that they had to wear their shirts backwards and inside out. Or why I only had the strength to weakly whimper the night I came home and Jared had given himself a bowl haircut with our electric shears, but the bowl he used must have been a tiny, misshaped broken saucer because it started and somewhere near ended with him looking like a charity poster child for emotionally disturbed barbers. And when I open my mouth, I hear my mothers voice saying, Don't you dare leave the house looking like that ... When I was a kid, my parents would never stand for ... What you look like says a lot about what you value and respect ... Its a direct reflection on us. And my boys sit and sulk and wait for the revolution.

Students are required to take a minimum of 15 hours and achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.6 to make the Deans List. The following students in the area have made the list. In Ephraim: Micheal Barlow, Last week the DI Drive truck was in Manti. In case any of you dont know what a DI Drive is, its the time when Deseret Industries collects all the old repairable (hopefully) items of clothing, furniture, appliances, etc. They then repair them and sell them on the retail market. It provides employment for some welfare recipients, provides a source for people to pick up some items . . . and gives all the housewives serviceable, second-han- d the opportunity to clean out their husbands closets, junk draw- -, ers, etc. That means that I had to keep an eagle eye out for my old red sweat shirt, as well as my other treasures which Ive been hoarding for the last 20 years. First, theres that old pair of shoes in the bottom of my closet. They are too little for David and me, but Im sure someone in the family can wear them. Ive been telling Beth ever since 1972 that she couldnt give them away because one of the grandkids would someday use them. But they havent. And theyre still in the bottom of the closet. Ill have to watch them carefully until after the drive. Then theres that old green sports coat, which I bought for our European trip in 1970. It shows hardly any wear and its not too badly out of style. Besides it goes with my green shirt, which Ive been saving just in case I ever wear the coat again. Ive had to rescue that coat from the garbage twice, when Beth took it upon herself to get rid of it. Now I guess shell want to give it to DI. Ill have to hide it for protection. And how about that old toaster? It would still work (I know it would) if Id just replace two wires. Its only been on the basement shelf (the one where I put all my things which I intend to repair someday) ever since we came to Manti. In fact, I think we brought it with us. But you cant just throw away a perfectly good toaster, even if we do have another one which OBrian Leadership Conference and at Utah Boys State.

Unfortunately on the fall quarters Deans list there were two students names left off of the list who made the requirements. We would like to acknowledge them now; Christy Alder, Manti and Tori Tolley, Ephraim. Because we work late quite a few nights, we kind of forget that normal people go to bed at a respectable hour. I forgot this one night. As I arrived home shortly after 1 a.m., I called one of my friends. As he answered, I realized his voice sounded sleepy so I asked, I didnt wake you, did I? No, he snorted, Do you want to call back later? . . . and hung up. 8 ITI ANTI Ml 3284-000- rPHRAIM Enterprise I USPS THE 0 USPS 1777-200- 0 Published each Thursday for 50c each, $ 6.00 a year inside Sanpete County and $ 9.00 outside Sanpete County, by Messenger-Enterpris-e Inc., 35 S.

Your input and suggestions are important and we want you to know that your effort is appreciated. To many of you who did not have time to speak at the public meeting, we hope you will take the opportunity to make you wishes known in writing, forwarding same to the city offices. We recognize that the problems facing your communitry are neither unique nor unsolvable but they do need attention and the cooperation of all citizens. Once again, our thanks for your comments, your time and your consideration. Not so trivial: It may be true that man does not live by bread alone, but look at those getting along on the crust. Lynn Schiffman Greg Dettinger d. sweat shirt. 3 THE just fine. Then theres my tie rack. There must be at least 100 ties there (and youd better not say anything disparaging about any of them). Who knows, maybe next year those narrow ones will be back in style. It certainly wouldnt be wise to give any of them away and then have to pay anywhere from $25 to $50 for a new one next year. After all, when I bought most of them, they only cost a buck. So if you see Beth carrying a large bag down the street on DI day, please let me know. It will probably be my ties. Also, theres the old broken chair. If DI can fix it, surely I can too. And if I cant Shelley Dettinger, here in Manti, is an expert. So Id better not let them have that. Its been out in my shed for so many years, the floor under it is discolored. But I dont really need that space in the shed, so I think I wont let Beth give it away. But I dont think DI will go away Im sure I can find a number of old dresses on Beths side of the closet. And an old sweater. A few strings of beads (Listen, you old goat, she says, If you give away those beads Im going to clean out your World War II souvenir box, so there!). And while were cleaning house, why dont we give them Beths grandmothers old rocking chair? Its so old it came across the plains and is about to fall apart. (Beth screams and turns pale whenever I look at it during DI Drive time). But well find a few things to give them. We can pick up a few things that David and Kelly have left in the house. Also theres that old carrom board which Beth insisted on buying many years ago and which has been played only once (on Christmas morning). And books. Ive got shelves of them. (I wonder if DI takes books). The Manti Library doesnt want them because theyre too outdated. I should think someone would want some of my old college books. How about Surveying by Davis, Foote and Rayner. After all it was the latest thing when I went to college in 1938. And why wouldnt they want my Analytic Geometry book? They still teach Analytic Geometry, dont they? I bet theyd jump at the chance to get my copy of The Decameron by Bocaccio. But I wont let anyone have that! I expect Beth will sneak a few of my treasures to them, and them to one of Beths old formals, but theres maybe Ill try slip one thing Im going to hide until the crisis is past my old red Mark Bartholomew, Melissa Zabriskie.

We had to kneel down to show that our skirts touched the floor. And the type of pants to wear was no problem. Slacks for girls at school were not allowed. And makeup.
