I TAH sKKi SKIS SmI welcomes Astronaut Sector ini home to Utili What a year the Springville High School Marching Band has had. It wasn't enough that they won all their marching competitions and were named the best small school band in two states, meaning number of students in the school. But then they were invited to march in the Inaugural Parade in Washington DC. in January. No parade, but while there they played for many dignitaries and had a marvelous time. At home again and uniforms turned in for the year, they had the opportunity .Jo play for the Utah State Legislature. That was an honor and very exciting. Then another once-in-a-lifetime experience ex-perience happened. Springville's band was invited to Salt Lake last Saturday by Hercules Inc. to play at the Hotel Utah for Senator-Astronaut Senator-Astronaut Jake Gam's return to Utah! And what a fantastic experience that was for the band! They played several numbers while the large, invited audience were taking their places. Then as Astronaut Garn and his wife, Kathleen, were introduced and took their place on the stand, the band played, 'Anchors Away', a tribute to the senator who was a piolet in the navy. Hercules, the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, The Air Force Association, Utah State University and others presented Garn with some beautiful mementos for his flight. He was the first civilian and the first Utahn to go into space and it had been a lifelong dream of his. Exerpts from a film that KBYU made on the Discovery flight were shown as Garn narrated and told about his many experiences. The film, 'Some Dreams Soar', will be shown later on national TV. It has been 24 years since man first ventured into space and Garn gave tribute to NASA for their fine ability to train human beings to do remarkable things in space. He expressed disappointment in the failure of the one satalite to be put into orbit, but commended the crew for their intensive performance in trying to achieve that. He said there is no way to describe the beauty of the earth from space. The experiences of going through 12 or 14 sunsets and sunrises every 24 hours and seeing the magnificent colors was awesome. 'It was 1(H) times better than my anticipation,' helped with the unveiling. The two pieces on the left, a painting, 'Jordan River Temple', and statue, 'Woman of Reverence' were purchased from the April Salon. The large painting of the Manti Temple on the right was a gift to the museum from Mr. and Mrs. Monte Allman.

To move yourself in any direction was fantastic! fan-tastic! He went on to express his feelings about the wonder of it all. One could look at the earth and not realize the political boundaries or the strife and turmoil and just look at the beauty. It is very obvious to me that there is The Springville High School Red Devil Marching Hand are seen above awaiting the arrival of Senator-Astronaut Senator-Astronaut Jake Garn at a welcome home program Saturday in Salt Lake.

I think this is an outstanding museum in the I'l-icc :.(' a supreme being. All of that out there did not just happen. We have enough natural resources to take care of everyone on earth. The sadness is in man's greed." Garn appreciated his opportunity to prepresent the state of Utah in his journey of 110 orbits in six days.

He went on to quote President David 0. McKay's words when he dedicated the Springville Museum as a "sanctuary of beauty and contemplation con-templation ". He said that two of the greatest needs of the human soul are solitude and community and the museum is a santuary of solitude. Artists are necessary in our lives to help us fulfill ourselves. Braithwaite congratulated Springville for what is happening at the museum and said that as we enter the museum we need to stop and think and thank all those who have gone before us for what we have here. All life is creative and central to the life process. We are all artists in that we create everyday in everything we do. And we are more alive in the moments when we are most creative. A native of Manti, Mr. Braithwaite was very moved and thrilled as the Art Queen, Kristen Carter, unveiled a striking, large painting of the Manti Temple by Springville artist Doyle Shaw, and a gift to the museum from Monte Allman.
