Michelle Allen Current Miss Orem It was a "happily ever after ending" for Michelle Allen last April when she was crowned "Miss Orem at the conclusion of the City's "Once I'pon a Fantasy" pageant. "I was in shock. I couldn't believe it." said the pretty blue-eyed brunette. "Every one of the girls has so many great qualities, it was a real privilege they picked me." " The youngest of five children, this talented daughter of John and Betty Allen gave credit to her family: "It's true about families being the most important thing.. ..You can't do anything like this without the support of your family. It's brought us closer and closer." Looking ahead to a year of unknown experiences, ex-periences, Michelle is excited: "I enjoy a good challenge. I want to do so much, and I can't wait to get started." "Learning, growing, and serving are important im-portant to me. I'm going to apply myself," she promise,d as she mention a pleasing qualification: "I know how to smile!" A double winner, Miss Orem was also selected for the Outstanding Out-standing Talent award. A BYU 'student, Michelle entertained the audience with a vocal medley of Broadway tunes. . Julie Ann Jones, daughter of Marion and Jovce .1. Gron. was announced an-nounced as first, runner up while second runner up was Courtney Kkins. daughter of I'hyl and .loan Kkins. Kelly Yalden and Cindy Jones were honored as third and fourth runners up. Their parents are Jack and Barbara Yalden and Arthur and Darlene Jones. Vocalist Valene Perkins was awarded Miss Congeniality, and Suzanne Ford sang her way into the Most Original Talent spot. Scholarships, donated by local merchants, were given to all contestants. The crowd cheered and laughed as the combined beauty of all 10 girls was presented on slides, giving a glimpse of the girls in their best -and no so picturesque poses. A dance, choreographed choreo-graphed by Kelli Cotant featured all contestants in a Snow White production. Roses presented by Mayor James. E. Mangum, and escorts from the Samuel Hall Society complemented the lovely ladies, who lined the stage as the f i.ial moments of the pageant neared. Talent numbers throughout the program were presented by past royalty. Taking the advice of the Mistress of Ceremonies, Miss Utah Karen Brimley, par ticipants and audience alike seemed to "get away from the worries of the day through the magical fantasy of the Miss Orem Scholarship Pageant. As the crowded audience at Orem High School swelled with suspense waiting to hear the judges' choice at the end of the Miss Orem Scholarship Pageant, Mistress of Ceremonies Karen Brimley (Miss Utah 1980), and General Chairman Paulina Jolley filled the air with chit chat: The judges worked --and --and the two ladies recalled memories of their trip to last year's Miss America Pageant. Paulina remembered the fear of her first jet plane ride, and her desire to appear "cool." Karen spoke of the "yummy fudge" in the shops on the Boardwalk the one piece she was allowed to eat. After all, Paulina alibied, she really had to watch Karen's weight. The judges tallied --and --and the travelers shared the thrill of Fifth Avenue and the concern of the New Yorkers who warned. war-ned. "Watch your purse." And they spoke of the curious public who wondered how a Utahn would handle the swimsuit competition. The judges were almost ready - and the loudspeaker carried the question, "Want to hear more about our trip?" Orem Chamber Attended 1980 Membership Retreat In an effort to upgrade services and leadership in Orem, the Orem Chamber of ' Commerce particpated in a special "Leadership ' Retreat" where goals were set for this year. Speakers at the workshop included Fred Ball, executive vice-president of the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce, Richard Hillam, Orem Orem Chamber of , Commerce president; and Richard Raggart, executive vice-president of the South Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. -' On a short-term ' basis, the Chamber chose ' five goals for the city. , . First, a public J. Jducation and awareness ; :campaign will begin with 'emphasis on a fuller use of the Speakers Bureau. Second, a program is planned to expand the Chamber of Commerce by increasing the budget and increasing the total membership of the Orem organization. Last year's goal was 300. Third, entrance signs will be placed at the city limits welcoming visitors and residents alike to Orem. Fourth, the Chamber will publish a city calendar of events useful to individuals in-dividuals and to businesses. Fifth, consideration con-sideration willbe given to a self-supporting fire insurance program. Research is currently being conducted on the program by DeLance Squire. The chamber's long-term goals are extensions ex-tensions of these five goals. Keynote speaker at the workshop, Fred Ball, spoke on developing leadership in the community. com-munity. He urged participants par-ticipants to "Know where you're going" because "in a Chamber of Commerce, Com-merce, there is not much difference between mediocrity and great-, ness. The difference is leadership," he said. This will come, he believes when members support each other and work together in achieving mutual goals. "Orem has great potential," Ball observed, "but it also has problems. The Chamber has a responsibility to meet these community needs and influence proper growth in the city." He concluded by saying that any Chamber of Commerce will succeed suc-ceed through a sound financial structure and a sound organization. President Hillam remarked on goal-setting and the commitment to work and meet goals. He was followed by a special slide presentation, "Making Things Happen." Hap-pen." It illustrated the basis for an effective Chamber of Commerce to determine objectives, make a sound organizational structure and financial plan; and have strong leadership with the proper administration, ad-ministration, staff, and facilities. Richard Taggart told the audience that leadership positions require constant evaluation. "There are two sides to everything," he said, "look on both sides." He compared the Chamber-City relationship relation-ship to a marriage where each side gives fifty-fifty. But, he explained, it should be ninety-ten because then the result will be a satisfactory compromise for both parties. The financial part of life is not always the most secure observed Taggart. Of the 10 richest men in the world between 1951 and 1900, he related, seven committed suicide, one went insane, one declared bankruptcy, and one survived with his fortune. Commenting on this, he observed, "If our only objective in life was to be happy, we could do it. But most people want to be happier than their neighbor. neigh-bor. The problem is they don't Jtnow how happy their neighbor is." In conclusion, he urged members to set realistic goals one step at a time, working on individual, long- and short-term goals. Members who attended at-tended the workshop were Tom Staker, Brent Sumner, Connie Barker, Richard Hillam, Duane Herbert, Margie Larsen, Earl Farnworth, Max Curtis, and Grover Swallow.
