Vol. 32 No. 20 Thursday, May 24, 1962 PRICE TEN CENTfc OREM Oversight Corrected In one of our previous editions, edi-tions, we printed a picture of the cedar postes used by the state highway workers ' on the fence along the new access route now under construction at 8th North in Orem. It was felt that the use of the unsightly un-sightly cedar posts for a right-arway right-arway fence in the center of Orem city was an oversight by the people in charge of the fence construction. We are happy to report that the fence posts' along the highway running run-ning west from Highway 91 at the Eighth North intersection intersec-tion have now been removed. Congratulations--Mrs. Turner LaVaun Turner dances recently re-cently put on a program for a turn-away crowd at Orem High school. We have reports that the Orem Library will receive re-ceive a- nice check from the proceeds of the sHow. This was a show of young dancers, presented in a professional manner. JVIrs. Turner should be highly complimented for her efforts, both with the young students and the worthy cause which benefited from the performance, the Orem Public Library. The young performers presented pre-sented their various dances in rapid succession, without delay de-lay and without confusion. The costumes and lighting was ii,tvt.

Our First Error-Last Error-Last week the "Times" published the names and pictures pic-tures of 345 seniors of Orem High school. The pictures used were printed in the year book. Sure enough we printed eight students pictures twice and omitted eight. This trick was not easy, we simply got two smarll pieces of paper turned over. This is the first mistake mis-take ever made in our paper so we humbly apologize and are publishing the omitted -pictures this week. Jack See back pace. Lettor from Friends-Dear Friends-Dear Dona and Jack: We surely enjoy getting our Orem - Geneva Times each week. It is good to hear ol the progress being made In Orem. The Orem High School Band is to be congratulated on being be-ing able to go to the World's Fair in Seattle, this summer. Sunday Frank was released as branch president on the Cattarauggus Indian reservation, reserva-tion, where we have worked for the past year. How we are very happy to Editorial For Pleasure or Profit ... Training for Ambitious Youth High school age youth of the Orem area are lagging in taking advantage of their summer opportunities for vocational training. To date, 20 Orem high school students stu-dents have completed registration for summer training at Central Utah Vocational School. This number is only about one-third the total for st summer when 52 enrolled, and only a handful more than have been taking advantage of the Saturday vocational vo-cational classes (12 students from Orem during the past school year). Registrations for tuition-free summer school training train-ing aire coming in slowly in relation to the large number of students. Information concerning classes is available at the high school or vocational school. Registration will continue for two weeks. Classwork will begin June 13 at Central Utah Vocational Vo-cational school in a wide range of subjects. The opportunity op-portunity exists for students to use their free time during the summer to explore any vocational interest so that they may direct their academic training toward a future career or a pleasant lifetime hobby. Cost for the 45-day session, ending August 17, will be only a $1 insurance fee. with a $10 droosit refundable at the end of the term. Summer operation of the vocational voca-tional school is made possible by HB 281 passed by the state and legislature and also permits a split curriculum for vocational study during the academic year. During the past summer Orem was represented by only a small portion of its students as compared with other high schools of the area. Small Wasatch high school at Heber City sent 50 students for the summer training, whereas only 52 students registered from the much larger Orem school. Juaib county sent 45 students, but all were topped by Spanish Fork, which had 64 students taking advantage of employmenit-type training train-ing for future jobs. Support from Lehi and Pleasant Grove was good in relation to their population while being lower than the distant schools mentioned. Public officials as well as some school administrators admin-istrators are coming to see a relationship between the availability of vocational training and the number of school dropouts. Currently one oct of four students fails to finish high school. However, in the state of Wisconsin Wiscon-sin where school work is oriented to training for employment em-ployment as well as college, only one child out of 20 leaves high school. Main reasons for high school dropouts have been given as lack of interest in academic subjects, marriage, or to obtain training for their life's work. This training could be obtained by combining vocational training with school work or obtaining such training during the sum-school sum-school year). ' Vocational training is needed for the nearly three-fourths three-fourths of all students who never go on to college. Specific training makes it easier to obtain a job in today's to-day's skilled labor market With three months of "free" time available during the summer, high school juniors, seniors and immediate graduates can extend their skills to improve their academic credits toward graduation or improve their future ... for pleasure or profit. be located in the Martin Harris Har-ris Farm Home, here In Palmyra.
