America was in the midst of tin Great Depression and Orem was sadly lacking in either programs or facilities which local residents could utilize to make those hard times more tolerable. Community leaders such as Arthur V. Watkins, Victor C. Anderson and Henry D. Taylor saw the need and gave substance to the dream of filling that need. Among the first projects undertaken by the Association was construction of a community recreation center, including a swimming pool, dance pavilion, and lawns for athletic activities. activ-ities. These were made possible with membership mem-bership fees paid into the organization with aid from church and government agencies. AN IMPORTANT part of the program was the leasing in 1933 of the Lincoln HighSchool auditorium for the showing of motion pictures during the evenings. The popularity of the motion picture program, together with the increased evening use of the high school, led to the planning of the SCERA Theatre which was completed in 1911. The building was financed and built entirely en-tirely by the community without subsidy or financial aid from any government agency. The site, only, was a gift of the LDS Church Over the years the community-owned SCERA Theatre has lieen ope rated as a family-centered family-centered institution with volunteers doing much of the work associated with its operation. opera-tion. For the first decade Victor C. Anderson managed the SCERA, audsiuce 1951 M.Dover Hunt lias served as manager. And so, for nearly 33 years the SCERA Theatre has been the focal point of community activities. The community recreation program pro-gram has been operated by SCERA with joint financing by Orem City ami the AlpineSchool District. In 19C0 some 25 acres of land near the theatre was purchased by SCERA, most of which has been landscaped and developed as a community park. A new swimming pool was built in the SCERA Park, along with a picnic pavilion. SCERA 's MOST recent major project has been the construction of the European Health Spa located just north of the theatre. For several years the SCERA Hoard had been planning on building a health spa on the SCERA property, and when the European Health Spa decided to locate a facility in Orem, the two organizations reached an and will be taught by Marilyn Thomas (225-5783). Lift your voice and sing a song Everyones invited to come along To learn to sing all sorts of tunes And play along with funny spoons So come and join with all your friends, And leave with new ones in the end.

In spite of the myriad of programs and facilities sponsored and directed by SCERA the focal point continues tobe the community-owned community-owned theatre where the latest motion pictures pic-tures are shown six days a week. From its very beginning the SCERA Theatre has never been open for business on Sunday. DURING THE EARLY years, the SCERA Theatre exhibited hundreds of popular family motion pictures, and many Orem families found themselves rarely going elsewhere for their motion picture entertainment. During the past decade, radical changes have transformed the motion picture business, busi-ness, and good family pictures have become scarcer each succeeding year. The situation reached the point in 1973 that virtually the only motion picture studio producing family-oriented family-oriented motion pictures, exclusively, was the Walt Disney Studio. Nevertheless, SCERA has never compromised compro-mised its long-standing principles of offering only family entertainment. This positionhas not always proved to be the most financially-rewarding, financially-rewarding, but it has endeared SCERA to many people who feel confident they will not be sickened or offended by the movies they see there. This view was well-expressed in a letter received by SCERA from a local resident just last week: "Manager, SCERA Theatre: I would just like to tell you that I am one of the many parents who appreciate the kind of standards you have maintained in the choice of movies you show. Children these days miss a lot of good wholesome entertainment by not being able to go to a Saturday movie after a busy week at school, but no parent in his right mind would dare let a child go to many of the movies that are loosely called "entertainment" these days. Therefore, please accept my compliments and the thanks of my family, who are recent comers to this area, for allowing us at least one theatre where we can have a special night out together. 1 do hope that you will be able to continue offering the kind of entertainment you have supplied since we came here. Congratulations!" The enthusiastic support of the SCERA 's showings of "Where The Red Fern Grows' and "Where the Lillies Bloom" provide ample affirmation, if such Is needed, that SCERA will continue to provide family-oriented recreation and entertainment in the future, as it has done so successfully in the past.
