Editor's Note The following article is another in a series submitted by the heads of var-ious departments at the high school Senior Activities by Grant Clyde The pressures are rising! There's a hustle and excite-ment in the air again this year at Springville High School as spring approaches and seniors anticipate graduation night. The culmination of 13 years of school rushes upon us! If this graduating class fol-lows the norm of classes, it will do much maturing during the next few weeks. A variety of activities outside formal class work makes seniors keen-- , ly conscious of this approach-ing event. Each graduating class wants to leave in the school some remembrance; some gift they can look back on in pride and say, "That was our Senior Pri-ject- ." Throughout the school year all major fund raising ac-tivities are centered around planning and financing such a project. The purchase of class rings and the ordering of graduation announcements are two other attempts on the part of many seniors to perpetuate the feel-ing of togetherness and over the years. Senior Sluff Day this year is May 14. Cooperating with other schools throughout the state and the Lagoon Resort, all Seniors who desire to go are excused from school work for the day and spend a few hours of hectic fun at Lagoon. The order of the day is: Swim-ming, Rollicoaster, Whip, Crash Cars. Ferris Wheel, Lakeshore Express, Food, Games, Dan-cing. The school makes avail-able bus transportation for those who do not wish to tra-vel by private car. If private cars are taken, permits must be approved by the school in order to get the cars into La-goon grounds. The last week in March a committee of class officers went to each senior student and measured his head size and gown size. Somehow the anti-cipation of graduation from that moment on is electrifying. Lax students began to worry for the first time about get-ting their class work caught up and term papers in on time. Quite suddenly they felt the end was near and many check back through three years of credits earned as they write their foraml applications for graduation. During the early part of Ap-ril, faculty members and stu-dent officers began plans for formal graduation. It is the senior faculty advisors who go over each student's record and recommend to the principal candidates to take part on the program. Each graduation is built around a theme concerned with high school life. al revenue. It is wrong to en-act any law that would make captive taxpayers of all citi-zens of rural areas and small communities which do not have local shopping facilities, to get revenue for the purpose of fi-nancing the demands of in-creased services in larger cities. Inasmuch as the sales tax is a regressive tax, is charged on all foods and necessities of life, as well as production costs of farm people, we con-tinue to oppose an increase in sales tax for any purpose un-til all taxes, based on ability to pay, are exhausted. Yukus Inouye, Pres. Utah County Farm Bureau Opposed To Tax Increase Utah County Farm Bureau announced today that they will vigorously oppose any increase in sales tax. The county as well as the State Organization have had resolutions for the past two years opposing any increase in this tax. The fol-lowing is an excerp from that resolution. "We are opposed to the enactment into law of any legislation to provide a sales tax to cities and counties on a state-wid- e or county option-al basis. Cities already have authority to collect a gross business tax and should use the same if they need addition- - i ' i "x j .t .mm Jiut. v.'JviW.fl& At Ik.'j&jwWufUuM Grant Clyde, senior class ad-visor, describes the increased activity among senior class students as graduation day approaches. see ARVIL BIRD UTAH POULTRY and FARMERS' CO-O- P S f4 v " $ Jncicn0e THE MILDER BOURBON Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey . 6 Yrs.

In the past, most raw products from mines and farms were shipped out of the state. Recently, new industries have come to Utah to process these products. Because mining and farming are help-ing our state's prosperity, it is vital that they be kept as healthy and productive as possible.

Mr. Bess also reports excellent results with USS Ammonium Nitrate on sugar beets and on his wheat. "An important factor in successful farming is the use of enough ni-trogen," Mr. Bess said.

It marked the time that he begins work for him-self. According to Utah Founda-tion, the private, non-prof- it tax research organization, the ave-rage Utahn must work 111 days during the year to pay his Federal, state and local taxes. April 22, which is the 112th day of the year is the day that the average taxpayer in Utah can begin to work for himself. Utah Foundation points out that Utah's tax burden Fed-eral, state and local comprises about 30.29 of the personal income received by all individ-uals in the State. This total includes all taxes paid by Utahns hidden as well as di-rect. Many taxes are paid ini-tially by the manufacturer, but are passed on to the consumer in the price of articles purchas-ed. |
