Nadine is very much interested in school and is active in many organizations. or-ganizations. She is talented in the musical line; she sings in a trio, sings with her mother, and plays an instrument in band. She spends noon hours, anr". before and after school working in the bookstore. One of the reasons she enjoys school so much this year is that she feels the students of Delta High School have acquired a different dif-ferent attitude and that we are accomplishing ac-complishing things and co-operating better. She has one brother and two sisters sis-ters and really enjoys her family. She believes in confiding in her parents and goes to them for advice ad-vice whenever she has problems. She plans to attend college after Nadine Turner she graduates. The main reason she is going to attend colieg-i is to gain nore experience and maturity by being on her own. "Quit" is not her motto. She stays with a task until it is finished and always strives to better herself. The best way to describe Nadine is she is friendly, enthusiastic and very sincere. i Life of Younq i WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, THERE'S FIRE The home ci Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fowles, Sutherland, is almost AFTER SMOKING profusely for approximately ap-proximately 30 minutes, blaze fin- , 3 i A FEW MINUTES LATER the front , can only stand and watch in help-of help-of the house gives up and is en- less indignation at its destructive gulfed in flames, while bystanders force . . . 1 - u f r , w1 ONE WOMAN, four men remain looking at the black remains, and lone chimney stands as mute evidence evi-dence that but a few minutes be Deseret Stake Quarterly Conference To Ce Held Here January 9 end 10 Stake Quarterly Conference of, a Fat iers' and Mothers' Meeting Deseret Stake of the Church of : will be held.
