The hour was KAYSVILLE early but the talk was upbeat as the Davis Area Vocational Center board met with their counterparts from the state board of education, Friday. Relations havent always been as cordial. The DA VC Board had publicly expressed concerns about proposed changes that wouldve taken control of some functions out of local hands, earlier this year. Friday, however, state board members were dined on a hearty breakfast, had a chance to tour the newest facilities dedicated last month and spent much of the rest of the day in their regular monthly Last year we experienced a 40 percent growth rate, Center Director Jack Shell told the state board. Noting it grew even faster the previous year by 55 percent, Mr. Shell said 1 ,700 secondary and 2,400 adult students had completed programs there within the past year. Boasting of a 93 percent job placement rate upon graduation, he said students trained there generate a combined $25 million payroll. For the first time, the center has excess space over programs. Fourteen classrooms are sitting empty because of lack of funding, the director told the board. State Board Chairman Keith Checketts of Logan said we hope we can see your resources grow so you can fill this faciility to do the job you would like to. DA VC Board Pres. Dee Forbes of Layton referred to joint meet- ings between the two bodies earlier this year and said I feel good about those discussions. I feel you (state board) had great understanding and a greater support for vocational education, and that you feel good about vocational education in Utah. We want to make this the greatest vocational center in the state of Utah, he enthused further. Expressing concern about funding for the Custom Fit training program, Mr. Shell said we see at least one company a week interested. Seven new firms have indicated desire to participate. We want to keep that (custom fit) high pn our list (of priorities), he added. State Superintendent of Schools James Moss said he hoped critical industries money could be tapped for the program in spite of Governor Bangerters reduced budget We will still recommendation. request $250,000. Its one area where I feel there is a possibility of getting more money, he said. Davis County State Board Member John Covey of Bountiful was among those attending. School lunch goes Computerized By DONETA GATHERUM FARMINGTON The process is as simple as charging at Scars. You insert a piece of plastic into a reader and then proceed to the food line. The advantages of this small slice of technology are Students can move g. through a lunch line more quickly. Less time is spend on bookkeeping tasks by teachers and secretaries. The attendance records and lunches served records are more accu- rate. Last week, Knowlton Elementary School became the first school in Davis County to startr a new, computerized lunch ticket program that was developed by Scott Hendricksen, computer programer their children have made or the number of lunch credits they still have. The computer information is tied into the foods service office and can help the staff know what needs to be purchased for future lunches, where cuts can be made and just how many lunches are served each day at the school. Another good feature of this system is that there is no way of a child or a teacher knowing who is receiving free or reduced lunches. This private information is stored in the computer memory. One of the reasons the card reader was first introduced at Knowlton Elementary is that this school is on an extended day program. Principal Glen Tonge says when the system is operating at peak efficiency, students, all 875 of them, will be able to move more rapidly through the lunch line without having help from teachers or secretaries. The first day the readers were tried, it took 15 minutes longer for the students to complete their lunch period. By the second day things had changed greatly and the lunch period was back down to the usual one hour or less time period. Students adapt and learn rapidly. In response to the question, Have you ever used a computer before? the first graders unanimously said, Yes. The answer to the follow-u- p question, When did you use a computer? was delightful. We used it yesterday in this lunchroom. Its easy. Richard Lemon, director of data processing for Davis School District, says the computer card sys- CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Vida Roueche gives plenty of attention and affection her cat, Mickey. She has to shower him with love when Imtonites pet a prodigal son By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON This is a Christmas story for animal lovers. It has a Prodigal Son twist. half Mickey, a Siamese, half Tabby cat, has a perfect home. He lives with Vida widow. Roueche, an Mickeys bowl is always filled with cat crunchies. Frequently Mickey gets a special snack of table scraps or grated cheese. He has squatters rights on a spacious rocking chair that is next to the warm stove. When Mickey wants to go outside, he can. If he wants affection, Mrs. Roueche quickly obliges his meow by picking him up and placing him on her lap. Mickey is a lucky cat. Like the Prodigal Son story, he just cant recognize a good situation when he sees it. Every summer, Mickey decides he needs to follow his Tom Cat instincts (he has been neutered for seven years so these natural cravings are imaginary) and he leaves home without mentioning his departure to anyone. Mrs. Roueche is always saddened by his absence but she has learned to accept his lifestyle. He seems to need a summer teachers had to complete daily. Second, the information stored in the computer can provide a print out for each family informing them of the number of lunch charges vacation. I have no idea where he goes or why. He always returns and he is in good shape." she says Ive always been philosophically. a cat lover but if he didn't come home for the winter, I don't think I could ever own another cat. His departure time varies with the weather. When the warmest days seem to be established for good, he leaves, returning when the weather turns cold in the fall. Sometimes his vacation lasts two months. This year, probably be- cause of the unusually warm weather, he left in June and returned the last part of November. Mrs. Roueche had given up. She knew he had found another family or had been killed. One morning I opened the door and in he came, she said. Like the Biblical story of a son returning, Mrs. Roueche put out the fatted calf, or in this case, the bowl of cat crunchies and dish of water. Mickey snuggled in for another warm winter. Maybe this spring he will remember how good things are at the Roueche home and decide to repent of his wandering ways and stay home where he belongs. Maybe, Mrs. Roueche says, but I doubt it."

Its supposed to save a lot of time and hassle for everyone involved, school officials say. hes there, because he seems to need a yearly summer vacation, to boot. for Davis School District. Each student is given a plastic card. It is not the embossed, expensive card that parents use when they need products but lack cash. The card is a laminated piece of by poster board, color-code- d grade. Imprinted is the students name and a very important bar code thut can be picked up by a computer "reader. The cards are distributed to students as they form the lunch line. Each lunch purchaser places his card into the reader at the sound of the beep. The teacher takes the cards of the absent students into one box and the cards belonging to those students purchasing milk only or buying no lunch at all into other boxes. These are used by the secretary to compute absentees and attendance. This implimentation of computer technology can do many things. First, it eliminates paper work for the teacher.
