Show High School Principal Explains Policy Cn Students Going To SLC Tournament per person for the round trip. The price of admission to each session , for students with activity cards, will be 50 cents. The time of leaving leav-ing and returning will be determined deter-mined by the session in which our team participates." The tournament begins March 14 and ends Saturday, March 17. 3 In an effort to curb unfavorable reports which have come from hotel owners and others in Salt Lake City concerning students who j who stay over through the basket- ball tournament, Principal Paul K. Walker the past week sent home with students letters ex- j plaining the situation. ! The letter also outlined instructions instruc-tions sent to the school by the Utah High School Activities Association As-sociation which it stated: "DOES NOT APPROVE OF UNCHAP-ERONED UNCHAP-ERONED STUDENTS MAKING ' RESERVATIONS TO STAY IN HOTELS AND AUTO COURTS : DURING THE BASKETBALL SEASON. THIS POLICY SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED BY PARENTS PAR-ENTS AND SCHOOL AUTHOR.-; AUTHOR.-; ITIES." Principal Walker pointed out : further that is is the policy of ; Nebo School District that the high school shall not grant permission to any student to be excused from : his class to go to Salt Lake City ; and stay during the tournament. Any student who does this will be counted as cutting school and parents par-ents must assume full responsibility respon-sibility for any improper conduct that may take place while students are in Salt Lake City. It is our hope, the letter stated, that the name of Springville high school shall not be connected with the undesirable things that take place in Salt Lake City during the tournament. The letter further states, "It is . not our policy to try to curtail 1 students from attending the ball . games. Rather we would encourage ; them to attend. All students who 1 stay in school will be excused early enough each day for them to attend the session at which our team plays. There will be two sessions each day except Saturday, : which has only one. There will be four games each session.
