Four rooms, stage, new lavatory to be added to recent structure At a meeting of the Nebo School District Board of Education Monday plans were discussed and ap-proved for a four-roo- m addition tq the Mapleton ' - ' ' "v . ' - i r ! r . I II h '' I J . - j I ., .ja-.- . , - - - .nmiii - - J Elementary School. In addi-tion', the plans provide for a new stage area as well as ad-ditional lavatories for both boys and girls. The new addi-tion will complement the new-er structure built ten years ago. To be constructed to the east and north of the pres-ent auditorium, plans call for embodying between seven and eight thousand square feet. This is the forerunner to de-molishing of the old building and construction of additional classrooms, library, office and restroom facilities. The board of education ap-proved schematic sketches pre-sented by the architect, Dell Ashworth of Provo, and in-structed the superintendent to move immediately to prepare for a possible bid opening shortly after the beginning of school in the fall. The board also approved a recommendations of the super-intendent to transport all sixth grade students from Mapleton to the Grant School in Spring-ville for the one year only. It was stated by the super-intendent that many of the children of Mapleton are be-ing transported to Springville and that split grades are re-quired in the Mapleton School at the present time. Population increase According to statistics furn-ished by Principal James Dunn, the Mapleton School population has risen from 205 children in 1950 to 350 in 1962 representing a 70 per cent increase. In 1930 the popula-tion of Mapleton stood at 633 as compared with 1,516 in 1960. At the present time, the li-brary is located in one .corner of the basement lunch room and the remedial reading as well as the speech and hearing programs are being conducted in the basement supply rooms. The new addition will pro-vide facilities for a modern functional stage thus giving the students the opportunity of creativity in dramatics as well as providing a better sharing of talent with other students in the school. Although not included in the present phase, plans are un-derway to move as rapidly as possible to complete the other phases of the proposed structure. STUDY PLANS Supt. Russell N. Stansfield of Nebo School District goes over plans with Mapleton School Principal James Dunn for the new addition to Mapleton School on which bids are expected to be called for in the next few months.

School students to see harmful effectsf of tobacco through cooperative efforts of club group, others A second donation by the Payson club to the special education department of Nebo school district, will help finance a project to dem-onstrate the harmful effects of tobacco, it was announced by school officials this week. Under direction o J. Dean Jones, director of special educa-tion in the district, with cooper-ation of several medical doc-tors who are concerned with the increase of lung cancer and related diseases caused from smoking, the project is under-way. ... Tars and residue collected from the smoke of a carton of cigarettes is being painted on the backs of Swiss mice to demonstrate how cancers can be caused by these substances. A special apparatus has been built by Dr. Angus Blaekham of BYU through which cigar-ettes can be smoked and nico-tine and tar collected. Wm. Nelson, chemistry teacher at Spanish Fork high school, made other equipment available and assisted with the project of condensing the smoke. Students of the special education class at Spanish Fork High, directed by Willis Pulver, teacher, made the cages and are caring for the mice. Daily observations of the animals and a great deal of interest has been shown by students. The demonstration is to be extended to schools in other areas of Nebo district as soon as facilities are available.

Stansfield was invited to meet with representatives of the Payson ladies group and he expressed appreciation for the gift on behalf of the district.

The superintendent stated that the rise in consumption of tobacco among the youth of junior and senior high school age has made this type of pro-ject most important. ) Peay's Market ; now AG store A Peay's Market will be iden-- ,. ified hereafter as an AG Food V store, according to anounce-s- j ment being made this week by i4'" the manager and owner, Mur-ray Peay. mf Pledging .continued quality :S service to his customers, Mr. Peay said that he believed the X change would benefit not only his store but his many pa- - trons.

Bartlett, Spring-ville High School instructor,' has been named research as-sistant and secondary super-visor. Teacher gains new post in Nebo District Harold L. Bartlett of the Springville High School facul-ty has been named Research Assistant and Secondary Sup-ervisor for Nebo School Dis-trict, assuming his new po-sition mmediately. Mr. Bartlett has taught in the Nebo School District for twelve years and brings to his new position a firsthand knowledge of the school pro-gram in Nebo, filling a vacan-cy of long standing, according to Supt. Russell N. Stansfield. When queried as to the of the appoint-ment, Mr. Bartlett stated, "I believe that sound, funda-mental values are most im-portant. When a person pos-sesses these basic human val-ues, he is in a position to defend them against all oppo-sition in spite of friendship, sympathy or desire for per-sonal gain. An administrator must make decisions. The strength and courage to make these decisions must come from a sound set of basic Christian values." He further stated, "All of his administration should be done with the singleness of purpose of providing as many experiences as possible that will enable the student to un-derstand himself, appreciaate his heritage and become in-dividually creative. This is the administrator's obligation to his students." Mr. Bartlett came to Nebo as a teacher at Springville Jr. and Senior High Schools in 1951. He graduated from high school in Vernon, Michigan in 1933 and holds B. S. and M. S. degrees in sociology from the Utah State University. He has his administrator's, counselor's and secondary teacher's on page 2, Col. 5) Essay winners named at senior high Winners in the Americanism essay contest in the senior high school were announced this week as Merlene Schreiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
