The two most common entrance exams for undergraduates under-graduates are the ACT (generally required at state institutions) and the SAT (which private colleges predominantly pre-dominantly use in determining determin-ing acceptance). Such board scores are not the only factor in determining determin-ing admissions. Colleges also consider high school ac- Effective Feb. Coleman, Skyline merge The merger of two of Park City's best known real estate es-tate firms was announced Monday by the owners of the companies involved. Harry Reed of Skyline Land Company and Bill Coleman of Coleman Land Company said that they have joined forces effective Feb. 1. "The way I look at it, they aie two of the oldest and most respected names in town," Coleman told the Park City Newspaper Tuesday. Tues-day. He said he would be the managing partner of the new company, to be known as Coleman Land Company. However, the old Coleman Land Company offices at 556 M:"' 1 jftu JfH-jff -H Jh-i"1fci ml1 if- ff rffci toxto IBM ademic performance and, to a lesser extent, personal recommendations. But board scores are probably the most important single factor in determining who goes where. Kecently, a Park City High School student Kerry Ku-siak Ku-siak scored exceptionally well on the ACT test, prompting more than normal nor-mal attention in the community com-munity over college admission admis-sion tests and their repercussions. 1 Main St. will be closed, and the staff consolidated in Harry Reed's building at 614 Main St. Coleman said the new partnership would combine his company's expertise in the sale of commercial and Deer Valley property with Skyline's strengths in residential resi-dential sales and property management. In addition, the new company has hired three other top local real-estate real-estate agents: Jim Lewis, Tom Calder and Vivian Cropper. "It's really quite a mix of the best agents in town," he said.

Reed began Skyline Land Company in 1972. Although the new company will have a larger staff than the sum of the old ones, Reed said the merger will help avoid duplication in areas such as advertising. "We were spending a lot of money doing exactly the same things." Reed predicted that the staff of the old Coleman Land Company would be moving to 614 Main St. in about two weeks, "as soon as we get the phones in.

Larsen thinks that, to some extent, such exceptional excep-tional student performance is a reflection on the quality of teaching and general academic standards at Park City High. . "Our programs are very sound here," he says, "and I think to some extent scholastic scholas-tic performance like Kerry's can be accredited to the teachers we have here. But we can't take all the credit. Many of our students Kerry included have moved into the district from other places, so they're receiving training elsewhere as well." Larsen does point out that Park City offers several college preparatory programs pro-grams such as advanced calculus and English. Such classes not only prepare students for the rigors of college board tests but also allow them to earn college credit while still in high school. "Students can potentially earn about a year's worth of Becky hopes to see Olivia Rebecca Kennard's dream is to meet Olivia Newton-John. Newton-John. And the dream may come true, thanks to her friends in Park City. Rebecca's friends include sponsors Karle Gee, and Donna Cline, with the local Alpha Beta store, and Randy and Debbie Fields. Karla told The Park City Newspaper she wrote a letter let-ter to Newton-John about Becky, who is suffering from bone cancer, and is still awaiting an answer. She also said last month's campaign raised about $2,200 dollars for the IVk-year-old Park City girl. The biggest source of income, she said, came from the donation boxes placed in the Alpha Beta. "The chain has a rule about not soliciting in the stores. This was the only exception the store in Park City made in three years," she said. Sponsors were allowed to display the boxes for three weeks this December. Decem-ber. Donations can still be made through the city fire station at Park Avenue, or can be sent to Karla at Post Office Box 364. "We're Earl; M 5:30 P.M. - 7:00 P.M.

As to how many students from Park City actually go on to college, Larsen says it's hard to determine. "Once again, with the high number of transient families we have in this community, it's very difficult to keep up with where everybody winds up once they graduate. We do know that well over half, probably about 60 percent, of our students these days -graduate with the intention of going on for more school. Another indicator is that more students anymore probably about 75 percent-take percent-take the ACT test. So, generally I think more and more of our graduates are considering a college education. educa-tion.

Becky's illness has put het through three operations The family had paid for all but one major medical bill. And then local resident? Randy and Debby Fields came to the rescue to pay off the debt. According to Mim Hughes, assistant to Randy Fields, Lori Kennard, Becky's mother started work a week ago in a new job for the Fields cookie business. "Right now, she works in the mail-order department," said Hughes. "But she's here on an individual-project basis." Mrs. Kennard's job arrangement allows her to take work home. "Debby was concerned that Lori could spend as much time with Becky as possible," explained ex-plained Hughes. ' For the future, the Fields also are planning to finance a trip for Becky to Disneyland. Hughes said they are waiting to see if it can be combined with the hoped-for journey to meet Olivia Newton-John. Country Pine Antiques & Decorative Accessories. City. Uluh S4I()2 (Mll)32-4ShH |
