FROM MA YORS TO PRESIDENTS: - Orem 's 17 First Residents - (rom Snow to Welsli, tlie leaders of Die Town, 3ecied Under Timpanogos Green, Have served with lionor, even with renoun Upon the blest and blooming Orem scene. As Town Board President and also, Mayor, Tltey knew tlie key to city growth was water: Tliat critical municipal affair Enabled every Orem son and daugliter. The people knew that water came from snow, And Lawrence J. Snow, a well-known resident, Was chosen, first, to sacrifice and show His worth as Orem's Town Board President. J. W. Gillman followed Snow to head the Board, And carry on the civic call to lead. He figured what the people could afford, And worked to meet their ever-growing need. W1 J. W. Gillman served longest as Orem's top administrator: six and one-half years as Town Board President, and seven years and one month as Mayor of Orem. For Ivan J Burr Depression times were touglt, As money woes in Orem quickly grew. It sometimes seemed tliere never was enough To go around from water revenue. Emery McKellip came to take Ids turn, As better roads were needed for tlie streets. Tlie all-new Town Board had a lot to learn, And souglit to get a building for tlieir meets. With B. M. Jolley came the Orem Town Hall, Right in the center, facing U. S. 91. Their City celebrations in the Fall Were meant for folks to play and have some fun. In '41 Orem Town became a City. Mayor Jolley served through tragic World War H. Then, J. W. Gillman, a mayor, bright and witty, Was elected thrice to his post-war rendezvous. Tlie death of Gillman brouglit a drastic cliange; For Mayor Ray E Loveless did propose, The Gty Council, surely, might arrange To hire tlie city manager tliey cliose. It fell to Mayor LeGrand Jarman's term To pick tlie city manager to serve, As O. V. Famsworths luring would affirm. (It was a post tlie Council would preserve!) The six-months term that Luzell Robbins filled Saw openings of needed city streets; And building of a storage tank that chilled The waters which an aquifer accretes. V. Emil Hansen was a Mayor, indeed, Who knew the City's water wishes, well. And Melbourne Wallace saw the pressing need For "Grade A" milk which dairymen could sell. With Milton Jameson tlie City tlirived, And earned a reputation, far and wide. Tlien, James E Mangum, gratefully, survived A heart attack, and deftly stepped aside. But life went on, and Orem City grew; And City Hall was bursting at its seams, While Winston M. Crawford realized a coup, As Orem gained its City Center dreams! And then, Mayor Mangum, vigorous and fit, Returned for eight more years to serve again, To guide the city's almost infinite Arrays of ways to ease the taxing pain. DeLance Squire courted Industry a lot, And saw the City prosper in the land; While S. Blaine Willes made a Camelot Where businesses were aided to expand. Wlien lie resigned, Joyce Johnson took tlie reign, And site became tlie City's woman Mayor, Till Stella Welsh succeeded that domain, And made it lutr exclusive thoroughfare. From Snow to Welsh, the leaders of the Town, Elected Under Timpanogos Green, Have served with lionor, even with renoun Upon tlie blest and blooming Orem scene. Today, the Orem torch is held aloft, As Mayor Welsh's trusty hat is doffed. Election time demands we vote, anew, Upon the Mayor and Council members, too. ' Who shall receive the plaudits and the votes? The trusty trousers, or the perky petticoats? The time has come for those with lots of nerve, To let the voters choose which ones shall serve!
