Dr. Quinn A. Hatch, assistant od ' superintendent, reviewed for board consideration the general district policy for sex education. Dr. Hatch suggested that, "The Alpine School District does not have a formalized sex education program as such. There is no course of study on sex education adopted by the Board or its staff. During the years, patterns have developed in the district that are common in each community. These patterns have not varied during the past ten years and have seemed to be in good taste, generally, and well accepted by most of the patrons of the district. The Board of Education and the district staff do not see any departure in the future from the manner in which this subject is presently being treated." A considerable group of patrons attended this portion of the board meeting and Superintendent Dan W. Peterson directed a discussion that was centered in the concerns of this group toward sex education. At the conclusion of the discussion the board of education voted unanimously to continue its present policy in the area.

Held in advance of the Nation's Birthday, July 4, the celebration rounded out three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the last weekend in June. The miniature parade, held on the two first nights, included a galaxy of colorful floats, with several hundred children taking part. Unusual attraction was the antique antomobiles in which the Lehi Stake Presidency, the Mayor and City Council and other honoris were transported. The Western Stock Parade on Saturday evening, featured top entries of beautifully groomed horses, with riders of all ages in club organizations as well as individual participants.
