The following fol-lowing are some of their ideas on how they plan to fill it before be-fore il fills itself with the mundane mun-dane things of life. . Mrs. Izola Lewis intends to further develop personal friendships friend-ships with people she cares for and amires. She says that during dur-ing the years she has worked at Orem High she has wnated to do this but has not had the time. There are also some crafts she'd like to learn and a trip or two she plans on taking.' tak-ing.' "My biggest thrill," she stated, "has been to see the growth of the students fromboys and girls to men and women." She has a few concerns as well: Students seem reluctant to want to gain an education. We seem to be more oriented socially." When asked if she had advice for students she stated that, "Stu dents should get involved in everything. There is no more offered anywhere than at Orem High School. I have grandchildren grand-children in high school in another state. They aren't offered half what we offer here." Ray Udy started teaching on the Lapwai Reservation 38 years ago. "Back then, you know the names of all the dogs and the kids before they even came to school. The school had about 115 students and we knew everything about everyone." After that experience, he spent 10 years as assistant State Supt. of Vocational Agriculture. "That was too much traveling. I had to get back into teaching." Back into teaching included 13 years in Vernal and 14 years at Orem. "I love to be around students. I'll still come to all the activities acti-vities and games that I can. You can't just stop attending after 38 years. I wouldn't quit if I didnt have to."

Councilman liar ley Gillman said he was not opposed to the salary increases in the plan, but did not approve of the cost of living adjustment. He said when the cost of living adjustment is based on a percentage of an employees em-ployees salary, employees in the low ranges do not receive enough money while employeeswithhigh salaries rapidly out distance their fellow employees. Councilman Gillman also said he did not think it was right for the council to make decisions without the public being present. Mr. Gillman was apparently referring re-ferring to meetings that the council coun-cil has held to discuss the compensation plan, where the public was not invited. He said the council had its decision made about the plan before the regular session. Councilman Merrill Gapp-mayer Gapp-mayer disagreed with Gillman saying the cost of living adjustment ad-justment was the only fair way to provide city employees with adequate buying power in the face of a rising cost of living. Mr. Gappmayer added, he did not think that the council made their decisions in executive sessions. Councilman Glen Zimmerman opposed the plan because he felt that the salaries on the low end of the scale were too low and that the salaries on the high end were too high. He said he could see no justification for a$ 13,000 spread in salaries. Councilman Gillman agreed with Mr. Zimmerman saying the reason for the spread was because of the present cost of living adjustment. ad-justment. He said he favored a cost of living adjustment but not one based on percentage. Mr. Zimmerman voted for the plan under the conditions that he will try and change the salary sal-ary schedule at some later date. City Manager Haines said that he discussed the proposal with city employees and they are basically bas-ically in favor of it. Mr. Haines said he was 'excited 'ex-cited about the proposal." He compensation and benefit plans for both the classified and exempt ex-empt city services. Mr. Haines said the exempt service includes department heads , and the city manager. The classified service includes all other city employees. The plan also has a revised salary schedule. The new schedule sche-dule has levels ranging from a grade level one step one salary of $5,088 per year to a grade level 22 step 10 salary of $18,792 per year. Employee compensation will be based on a salary level which fits the employee's job description. descrip-tion. City Manager Al Haines is presently working on city job descriptions. He reports that , the descriptions will be finished soon. According to the compensation schedule classified city employees em-ployees will be eligible for a merit increase of one step, each year that he has worked for the city. The document states, that "eligibility for step advancements advance-ments is contingent upon the employees em-ployees work meeting the standards. stan-dards. When an employee is denied a step advancement upon his anniversary date, the employee em-ployee will be informed in writing wri-ting of the specific reason or reasons for such denial."
