New attendance record attained by students at Springville High ance problems of the school in an effirt to reduce any un-necessary absence from clas-ses. As a result of special em-phasis being placed .on good attendance at the high school, an attendance record of better than 97 percent has been at-tained during the first four months of school, it was an-nounced this week. Commenting on the import-ance of good attendance re-cords, school officials state that from a scholastic point of view, students should attend school every day. Otherwise certain instruction is missed and quite often of necessity, credits have to be cut. Financially it is also import-ant that students make every effort to be in school every day. It has been estimated that it costs the district ap-proximately $1.25 for each day each student is absent from school,.. as .that, is the approxi-mate amount alloted the dist-rict per student per day at-tendance, by the state equal-ization law. The fewer funds received from the state, the more mo-ney must be provided through local taxation to run the school. It is therefore import-ant to the student scholastic-all- y and to the parents and the public financially, that ev-ery student is in school every day. As a means of improving the attendance record at the high school, a system of re-ducing grades for excessive absence has proved effective. There is also a committee formed to review the attend- - Students, hurt in car mishap Two high school juniors were injured in a ar acci-dent Thursday evening at Third South and Main, follow-ing a pep-rall- y.

Judge Paxman to address PTA meeting Under the sponsorship of the PTA, Judge Monroe Paxman will speak at the Westside school Thursday Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. His subject will be "De-tention Problems in the State of Utah." This should be of special interest as there is a bill before the state legislature to remove the responsibility of detention for juveniles from the various counties to the state. Such questions may be brought to attention as: Is our local detention home doing the job it should be doing Why was it necessary to place many ju-veniles in the county jail rath-er than the detention home last year ? All PTA officers and chair-men are especially urged to attend and the general public is invited.

She gues- - Osed the Personality of the to be Effie Kelsey, Springville librarian and re-- ! ceived $10, but on the clues, she missed two to forfeit $30. 3, Mrs. Clark counted only 14 31 of the 16 listed in the spon-- - soring merchant's ads. The contest money this week goes to $70. Those people who are not reading the ads in the Spring ville Herald each week and getting in on the fun of the Who and Clues contest, are missing a good time. From the large number of entries in the Who and Clues boxes each week however, most everyone in town is reading the ads and most of them are in on the contest fun. One woman remarked this week that she had never read so many ads, so thoroughly as she had since the Who and Clues contest began. The boxes this week will be at Brookside Market at 759 East Fourth South, where Manager Don Watts will wel-come everyone to his fine grocery store and at Frank and Kelley's Service, operated by Frank Memory and Kelly Jensen and they too are look-ing forward to a visit from old and new patrons to their ser-vice station on the corner at 420 South Main. The boxes last week were at the Springville Bakery, op-erated by John Schouten and at Day-Nit- e Laundercenter, operated by Fayne Laney. The clues were as follows: taught BYU, taught New York, mother living, attended BYU, credits books, busy al-ways, industrious, brothers in SLC, counts calories, P.M. worker, brother on coast, bob, books vocation, near train track, private tutor, collect pennies. The contest which continues through a few more weeks, has proven one of the most popular fun contests and has resulted in a thorough read-ing by the general public of every single ad placed in the paper by the sponsoring mer-chants. Contest winners have expres-sed thanks and good will to the sponsoring merchants and the Springville Herald for the opportunity they have had in participating in the contest.
