Utah. 1 1 should have come in March, instead of January, then it would have reflected a new world as well as a new But each winter seems that when the bleakness of January and Feburary are upon us -especially us in the business world. But really the winter has been no more or no less than winters before, but just reflects the state of mind that most of us get into as we anxiously await the return of that It is with the "glorious spring." same anticipation that most of us looked forward to the wonderful world of whiteness that was winter back in the fading glory of fall. But, taking it for what it is worth, winter is really on its way out, and the crocuses of spring will be breaking through any day now, if they haven't already. And we are looking forward to that "glorious spring" in the Bear River Valley. There is a stimulating feeling in the air when tha farmers head out to the fields once again - without the snowmachines, layers of coveralls, and mufflers. Somehow, it makes most of us feel alive and vital and determined once again. Seasons are a wonderful thing -each with its own beauty and each with a built-i- n stimulus for the next. year. longer. way, especially ACTUALLY, THE first of the year And, we have to admit, it's fair. The reason that we hesitated to 2 4& is that as one board member said during the meeting "this means that we will have to put off our buildThis came after a ing priorities." statement by a very knowledgeable man in Tremonton that there would be an attempt to take away some of the building programs for Bear River high school if the people press the boundary change issue. However, it is hard for us to believe that the men who sit on school board would allow such feeling to enter into this very vital issue. We have confidence that they will do all pos- sible to see that what is best for the students come s first in spite of traditions, pressures or personal feelings. This is what they were elected to do. Now that the study has been ordered, we must patiently await the outcome. We also feel confident that the study will be made by competent men who will be objective about the entire matter. WALTER TALBOT, the state superintendent who have served as superintendent of the Box Elder School district, is acquainted with the proDR. blems of the district. He will name the conm'.ttee to make the study and promises that it will be an indepth one and one that will be completed as soon as possible. It has been suggested that this study become a master plan for the school district This could well be, but if this is the intention of the board, the committee must be instructed that this is what is needed at the beginning jid that a study of enrollments alone not be used as "gospel" on matters of building and curriculum. The board must be specific in what they want and for what purpose it is to be used and then the people of the district must use It for that purpose. WE ARE WELL acquainted with a A new school Environmental Impact Study is being conducted on the routing of Interstate 15 through the Bear River valley, Sen. Miles 'Cap' Ferry reported last week. The study came after a request by local people who are concerned that the proposed route goes through the middle of the valley might ruin prime irrigated farm land, of which there is little In Utah. r'A previous study was made An -- i is going to be con- where a school district brought in a team from Utah State University to study their school district and the team was told that it was not to be a study for consolidation with a nearby district. team after the district used it as a crutch to oppose consolidation when there had been specific instruction not to study the matter. We would be the first to agree to an study of the district which would help formulate a master-pla- n. There are many master plans that are rotting in the back corners of closets and drawers, but most have produced some good for the municipal body for which they were prepared. THERE ARE SOME misconceptions about the boundary change: U) As we see it the boundary change would not change the school's standing in a "suggested" line-u- p for schools in athletic and extracurricular competition. Bear River high school would still be out of the class of surrounding high schools. However, that line-u- p is far from final. And sports are important but not the prime consideration. (2) Just changing the students to Bear River who live in Honeyville, Bear River City and Corinne, would not be as easy as it sounds because of the "what to do with the junior high school students." (3) Tradition says that these students should go to Box Elder high But traditions are not alschool. ways right regardless of how long they have been established. The people of this area should know that better than most people. vVe wondered why these areas went to BE in the first place. WE EXPECT THAT the study, which has now been ordered, will do what we had hoped for in the beginning -it will be in the best interest of the educational system for the students. After all, and we say it again, we are obligated to bring the best possible school program to the most students at the lowest price to the This we are obligated to tax payer. do. by Utah State University which recommended that an advisory board be appointed to consider the plan further. The USU study however, seemed to lean heavily In favor of the alternate route proposed to go the mountain on the west In favside of the valley. oring this route they felt that as much as 30 acres per mile would be lost in the construction of the road on the valley floor, a loss which could ies. -- O- 15 - 'V.T.T.V.
