In view of Miss Orem being chosen as Miss Utah this year, the pageant committee wanted to do something special. Scholarships Scholar-ships in Amanda's name will be awarded to the winners of an art and essay contest that was con ducted to honor the artistic and literary talents of Orem youth. The tradition of spotlighting two previous Miss Orem queens each year will be handled in a different manner: This year's pageant is being dedicated to a previous Miss Orem, Dorothy Stratton Hancey, who passed away last July after a long bout with cancer. She was also crowned Miss Days of '47, which makes it equally fitting to honor her during the Centennial year. The family-oriented set design will be under the direction of Shauna Hoyt, Jerry Elison, and the OHS stage crew, with Doug Hoyt as director of lighting. A professional pro-fessional sound system by Redd Alert will be provided to preview the contestants at their very best. The Miss Orem Scholarship Pageant is a volunteer-run community com-munity service for the young women of Orem between the ages of 17 and 24 to gain scholarships to pursue their academic goals. It is co-sponsored by the City of Orem and the Scholarship Committee, Com-mittee, with Gayla Muir as general gen-eral chair, assisted by Shauna Hoyt as co-chair and stage manager. man-ager. Five judges and two auditors will work under the direction of Jessica and Chad Deucher, regulated regu-lated by the rules of the Miss America Pageant. Crews have been busy preparing the approximately 18 acres of ground below the Orem City Cemetery for use as neighborhood "green space" and possible youth soccer and football fields by installing berms, and getting the soil ready for grass seeding. Steve Weber, Maintenance Division manager for the Public Works Department, said service roads for the cemetery and for off-street parking will also be built on the property. Weber estimated it will take a couple of years for the grass to be established well enough for recreational use perhaps in 1998. Future use of the expansion area will be for cemetery lots. r-v - r- " ' jV-ij wC-iJ bid '-V.

He described mists of white smoke rolling over the steps, and a choir singing, "Utah, We Love Thee". It was a poignant moment, he said. Looking out over Salt Lake City, Leavitt was impressed with the sight of a sea of lights, and as he walked through the capitol building, his heels clicked in the clean, crisp, simple marble surroundings. sur-roundings.
