Frazier, chairman of Insurance study group which recently completed course Former choir member sides with parents The Springville Herald Dear Editor: I too, would like to voice my opinion concerning the re-cent policy laid down by the Nebo District School Board, whereby the A Gappella Choir and other students cannot leave this county to perform or go on field trips. According to these rules, the senior class will have to find a place in our county to go on their senior day, instead of go-ing to Lagoon as they always have done in the past. This is too bad. The students always look forward to these extra-curricular activities. They help provide a well rounded educa-tion. I certainly agree whole-heartedly to what was said by the choir parents committee. I'm sure the school board does not realize what these trips mean to these young people in the choir. If they had been a part of it as I once was, feelings on the subject could not help but be different. I was a member of the SHS A Cappella' Choir for three years. Now, as I look back upon my high school days, my association with this choir and its leader is indeed, the highlight. No other class or activity brought me the richly rewarding experiences that did this group. Why? Because we always had something to work toward. We toured extensively throughout the state. This was what made it all worthwhile. Good hard work is always re-warding, and believe me, we worked. I can't help but feel that if these tours are denied, the students will stop working, and become mediocre. They have always been rated far superior to any other high school group of this kind, and have always brought honor and recognition to our city. Their actions on their tours have never been anything but of the highest quality. I would like to know the reasons for the school hoard's decisinns Tn my opinion, they have no good reason! At their final concert last Friday, I thrilled as always to the fine musicianship of these choir students, and their lead-er, only to learn that he has resigned his position. This news made my heart heavy, yet I was angry, for I think his reasons are obvious. If I were in his place and my hands were tied in this way, I would do the same thing. I place all the blame upon the school board for our city's loss of a talented, stalwart citizen, and it certainly is our loss, not his! I know it is too late to make amends to keep him here, but my plea is that the school board reconsider their actions, so that this does not happen again. I also hope they do some careful consider-ation before hiring a person to fill this position in the high school music department. It will certainly take a highly superior person in his field to follow the present choir di-rector. Linda Weight Cluff SpringWIie man heads group of underwriters Ronald V.
