Show Orem-Geneva Times- -May 6, 1982 Cornabys lo Retire M$qy 4 1 Years Service With a total of 41 years of loyal and dedicated service to the youth of Pleasant Grove, Wayne . and Grace "Grade" Cornaby will retire from their educational positions with Alpine School District in June. Students know this does not mean they will no longer have time, concern and advice for them. Grace has worked at Pleasant Grove High School for 27 years as a secretary. Not only has she handled correspondence and attendance, but has managed routine and detailed work for four principals over the1 years. Also, she has been entrusted with secrets and confidences of administrators, teachers and students. A teacher of Agriculture Science, Wayne has taught 14 years at the high school. Being the advisor of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), the Pleasant Grove High School Chapter has become the outstanding FFA Club in the State. He has been responsible for some students graduating from high school who probably would never have made it. More than one student has said, "He never gave up on me, I knew he cared." Mr. Cornaby reported that a good many of his students are much better off financially than he is, "but they will never know the joy I have in helping them achieve," he noted. There have been times when he has had some students four or five times a day because others had given up on them. Not only has he taught 125-150 students every year, but finds special help for students who need tutoring in math, English, etc. Even though a student is receiving special tutoring, Cornaby finds a place for him or her to be tutored in his shop or class area. The Cornaby's both attended B.YU, with Wayne doing graduate work at Utah State University and graduating Hi Agrimony. Gracie's studies were in' the secretarial field. Wayne's career in Agriculture includes farming, working for U.S. Steel Geneva Division as an agricultural specialist, Forest Service ' and last but not least, teaching. He has a special way with teenagers. He has always tried to stay out of the limelight. However, last month Wayne was presented the prestigious Honorary State Farmer Award at the 'State FFA Convention. Cornaby and his FFA students have honored many deserving citizens over the years at their Annual FFA Banquet. In discussing the changes they have seen in the schools, Grade said, "Students are more worldly today, too many cars and other material things. I v I I! WAYNE & GRACE CORNABY The world is smaller and kids have to cope with problems we did not know existed when we went to school," she said. Wayne explained, "Boys will be boys, but now I have girls in the class that in the past was traditionally a class for boys," and he wrinkles up his nose. Knowing Mr. Cornaby, he loves every minute of it. Both Wayne and Grace were born and raised in Spanish Fork. They were high school sweethearts and graduated from Spanish Fork High School. In 1955, the Cornaby's moved to Pleasant Grove. They are the parents of two children, Richard and Ruth, and have seven grandchildren. They have been active in church and community affairs. Wayne and Grace will never retire, but will always be busy. Students know that they will be there to help with problems and words of praise. They will be leaving early Saturday .. morning with Terry Tucker's Coggers ;; West and A Cappella Choir to attend the 1982 World's Fair in Tennessee. You can bet the students selected them as chaperones. Alpine School Board Plans Schools At their recent meeting the Alpine School Board approved the appointment ap-pointment of Eric Sandstrom and Associates to begin plans for an elementary school in Northeast Orem, but felt more review was needed before appointing an architectural firm to start on a junior high school for the Orem area. Dr. Max B. Welker, district superintendent, recommended Eric Sandstrom and Associates for the elementary school and Fowler, Ferguson, Kingston and Ruben for the new junior high school. Board member Heaps questioned using the Fowler firm and said he felt Dana, Larson, Roubal and Associates would do an excellent job. The board made the decision to postpone the appointment of architect for the junior high school until their next meeting. Welcker also received approval from the board to purchase 30-45 additional ad-ditional portable classrooms to house Alpine students for next fall. Depending upon enrollment, the district is authorized to immediately call for bids and accept the lowest bid on portable units. In other action the board approved a "D-" grade as passing in competency colirses. In the past, a student receiving a "d-" in a competency course was required to retake the course. The district tests competencies in the following areas: computation, reading, problem solving, and consumer con-sumer of goods and services. Curriculum courses include the following: processes and structure of democratic governance, writing, and speaking and listening.
