Delmar Reay Dear Editor: I have seen alot of inconsiderate inconsider-ate and unfair things happen in my life but what I saw Saturday night in American Fork takes the cake. I am referring to the Miss American Fork pageant at the high school. Everyone could buy a ticket from a contestant for $1.50 on a first-come, first-serve first-serve basis. According to the advertising, the tickets would be honored until 7:00 p.m., then the doors were to be opened to the public. Shortly after 6:00 p.m. some of the families to the contestants went to the high school, held six rows of center aisle, down-front rows for their families and friends. This would involve from 72 to 84 seats. Is this the rule of the game? Sad to relate, these beautiful, talented girls had been trained in the social graces of proper manners, man-ners, good sportsmanship and congeniality, then on the night of the pageant, their supporting families placed a family member memb-er at each end of these rows and rudley refused to let anyone enter and be seated because they were saving them.

Mrs. Tice has been teaching at BYU and presented a musical and artistic treat with her talents. A flower arranging demonstration was presented along with paper folding art whom? Were these late comers more deserving of a prime seat than other families of contestants, contes-tants, or of anyone who made the effort to be there at 6:30 in hopes of obtaining a good seat? My party was forced to take a poorer placement, then we watched while many others were forced away just as rudely as we were, while a select few were given one these seats. I can see saving a seat for a partner, or even for two people, but this was just too much. Perhaps another year pageant committee should sell tickets on a price to a seat basis, and provide ushers, then those people peo-ple who come at 7:30 with a reserved seat waiting for them can pay for this very special privlege.
