The Art Ball is one of the most significant events held at the museum, not because of its benefits to the museum, but because of its deference to tradition and growing social implications. Over the years, the party has grown from what was once a small-time get together togeth-er to what it is today; a thriving thriv-ing social extravaganza. Al though it is likely to grow in popularity and prestige, the Art Ball is remembered and cherished by participants as a wonderful social tradition which enriches the quality of life and unity within the community. com-munity. Everyone is', invited to come and celebrate art at this year's event. The 40th Annual Art Ball, Super Ball XL-40 Years of Having a Ball, is Saturday, Apr. 29, from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets are available for $20 per person or $40 per couple, or $25 per Wm BALL 2L f i f Iff i I , 1 I 4tiie'&Ktnitiuiui(ifH person at the door, and $15 tor high school students.

Its birth is indebted in-debted to a few museum devotees who "wanted something some-thing more." The museum committee at the time was a lively bunch, and they were eager for the museum to reach out more to the community. com-munity. So with the combined efforts ef-forts of chairmen, D. LaRel Johnson, Yvonne Johnson and Grace Alleman, the tradition tra-dition of the Springville Art Ball began. They organized the very first Art Ball, "April in Paris," with hopes that the idea would stick and become a tradition over the coming years. According to Grace Alleman, Alle-man, the committee was "feeling our way through the first few years." Almost all of the refreshments and decorations were homemade and the attendance was a lot - smaller than what it is today:" But that didn't seem to matter, mat-ter, "back then it seemed large to us and as long as everyone was included and having fun, we considered 'KuY 'L - i,t J J WW iVirri s . . j l Some of the students in Mary Reeder's All Things Art School displayed their works and demonstrated how they do it at the Art Ball last year. Some of them will again present their artistic abilities as part of the evening's fare at the Art Ball XL, 40 Years of Having a Ball, Saturday, Apr. 29, at 7 p.m. at the Springville Museum Mu-seum of Art. Tickets are available at the museum or at the door that evening. the night a success," says Alleman. . For those who have organized orga-nized and attended balls of the past, it's exciting to look back over the past years in awe and wonderment. Alleman Alle-man recalls how very different differ-ent things are today. What was once homemade food is now finely catered cuisine; what used to be simple but enchanting themes are now imaginative and spectacular. What were once small musical musi-cal bands has evolved into a huge entertainment of music and dancing. . Most of the crowd which started out as a few friends has flourished into one of over 700 attendees! Indeed, looking back, the hopes and dreams of those early committees com-mittees have "come true. However, amidst much growth and advancement, the Art Ball still carries much of its original charm. The See ART BALL on page 3 SiB-up for fall cheerleading today Sign-ups for Fall Cheerleading for 7th, 8th and 9th grade girls will be held today, Thursday, Apr. 27, in the Springville High School Cafeteria between be-tween 6:30 and8 p.m. The only requirement for participation participa-tion is attending the Cheer Clinic sponsored by Springville High School Cheerleaders where the girls learn sideline chants and half-time dance routines that are performed during the football season. The uniform cost this year is $175 for the 9th grade and $140 for the 7th and 8th grade. Uniforms this year will consist of the traditional uniform as well as poms and a warm-up outfit to be worn during the cold fall days and evening games. Girls will not be put on a team until the money has been collected. This year they are allowing late signups until June 5th, which is also the deadline dead-line for all money to be collected. If money has not been received by this date the applicant will be removed from the roster. The success of this program depends de-pends on the time invested by the cheerleaders and the commitment to the girls by the cheer advisors who, as in the past, have been mothers willing will-ing to invest the time. With the 2006 season comes the opportunity op-portunity to once again volunteer for the community Cheer program. The last several years we have benefited from the experience and talent of former for-mer cheerleaders from both the college col-lege and high school arena as well as former dance instructors. Having advisors with experience proved to be a valuable tool in fostering foster-ing creativity, moral and fun, while helping the cheerleaders develop their own self worth and talents. This year they are once again in need of cheer advisors to assist these young ladies. If you would like to get involved and volunteer as a cheer advisor ad-visor you can indicate so during our signup or you can contact Kari Smith, 491-8865, or Julie Sandberg, 489-9291.
