This provides a wonderful chance to experience oallet at it's best. Jacqueline Price Colledge, artistic director, is a home town girl, one we should all be very proud of. She oozes talent and ability. Plan to attend Coppelia, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and then be present at our Miss Lehi Pageant on Saturday, May 1. There are nine beautiful girls seeking Miss Lehi honors, all talented and hoping for an opportunity to represent their town for the coming I was invited to attend the spring concert of the Madsen Memorial Chorus production of "Music Makes Memories" and was thrilled with the performance. There were over 40 ladies in the singing group and I'll bet there weren't more than six that were under 50 years of age. They were beautiful in deep turquoise gowns, the color complementing the silver of their hair. The program featured difficult numbers performed with the skill indicative of much practice, great directing and sure voices. They reminded me of our own great HiLos - Where are they now? year. Besides the Miss Lehi aspirants there are a group of glorious Provo Tabernacle but Miss Peters' presence there on the podium created a spirit. Her program included arias from "The Marriage of Figaro" by W.A. never-never-la- ; Mozart and Pasquali." Donizetti's hard-workin- g, generous women striving for the financial and cultural success of the pageant. The Miss Lehi Committee spends many hours to make the production a happy one. They raise funds, they accompany the girls on planned tours and special luncheons, they spend a year preparing for this fabulous They contact businesses and companies for prizes, gifts, and scholarship money, all for the girls. They seek no payment for themselves for all the work they do. Let's reward Jaylene Wycherley and her crew for an outstanding effort on behalf of Lehi and it's young women. Many of these girls continue on to college or are launched on a college career because of the scholarship pageant. I know this to be a fact. The Miss Lehi Scholarship Pageant is truly a worthwhile and exciting pleasurable and momentous event, not only in the lives of nine girls, but in the lives of the committee and all those who attend. Another spring treat was attending the concert by Roberta Peters, Metropolitan star. It's always humbling to be in the "Don The audience loved the three selections from American composers, V. Herbert, S. Romberg and R. Friml. She received three encores and obliged the audience each time. All in all she sang a remarkable repetoire of 20 songs and the delighted audience loved each of them. Utah Valley has everything! And I urge you to take advantage of marvelous opportunities that await you almost every day. The Utah Youth Ballet will present Coppelia, the classical comedy masterpiece, on April 28, 29, 30 and 1 building is progressing now more rapidly. The library part of the building is up and the roof on the remainder of the building is being pushed rapidly....The work of enclosing the entire building under roof and putting in of windows, doors, etc. is expected to be completed before winter." The north wing of the library, which housed the public library, was finished before the rest of the building. A program marking its completion was held December 30, 1921. Mayor James H. Gardner delivered the opening remarks and Levi Edgar Young, Professor of History at the University of Utah, spoke on the historical and beneficial effects the library might bring. The library begain operation in January, with Sylvia Bushman as 1922, librarian. Until 1910, Lehi had no public library. In that year, the Lehi City Council established a public library and reading room in the old Senate Building on Main Street, next to the Darling Hotel. In 1914, the city bought the Samuel J. Taylor house and moved the library there. It soon became clear, however, that larger facilities were needed. In the spring of 1917, the city council named a library commission to investigate the financing of a new public library through a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. Between 1898 and 1920, more than 1400 free public libraries were established throughout the U.S. through grants from Andrew Carsteel negie, a magnate who felt that the rich had an obligation to use their excess wealth for the betterment of mankind. Twenty-thre- e Carnegie libraries were established in Utah alone. Carnegie was particularly impressed with the value of public libraries, seeing them as a means of "moral elevation" and an agency for alleviating social ills." In November, 1917, the Carnegie Foundation granted $10,000 for the erection of a free public library in Lehi, with the stipulation that the city council agree to a resolution to pattern is created which would serve to unite its features and accentuate its simplicity. Several features are reminiscent of the Prairie Style such as the uneven division of stories of the central section, the use of groups of casement windows, and the arrangement of openings on the facade of the north wing. The Prairie Style influence, however, in no way cominates the composition, but may have been strong enough to interfere with the comprehensive acceptance of the Mission Style as a design choice. The historians noted that the building is in excellent condition and is virtually unaltered. The Lehi City Hall was constructed at an approximately cost of $55,000 between December, 1918 and May, 1926 as a Memorial Building to Lehi's World War I veterans. Construction began two weeks after the Armistice was signed, and is reputed to be the first such building in the United States. It was intended to be used as a city hall, museum, and public library. The Lehi Memorial Building is significant as a late design of the Salt Lake City arprominent chitectural firm, Ware and Treganza, and may be the only large building designed by them which reflects their exposure to and acceptance of the Mission Style. Throughout the life of their partnership, Alberto O. Treganza and Walter E. Ware responded to the influx of stylistic preferences pouring into Utah. Their designs included examples of the Prairie Style, the Renaissance Revival Style, the Craftsman Style, and the Mission Style. While the Memorial Building is an eclectic blend of elements of the Mission Style rather than a pure form, it reflects what can happen to a particular style in the hands of architects who are open to a variety of influences. Work on the building began in 1918, and for reasons not entirely clear, proceeded slowly at first. By September, 1921, however, the Lehi Banner reported that, "the new hall and memorial library-cit- y multi-millionar- ie maintain it at a cost of not less than $1,000 per year. the Lehi Library Originally Commission envisioned a separate building for the library, but as plans for the Memorial Hall emerged, it seemed logical to house the library in it, and in August, 1920 the Carnegie Foundation approved the plan. The building was completed in its entirety in May, 1926, and a decidatory service was held on Memorial Day, May 31. 1926. Proceeded by a band concert and a salute by the Lehi National Guard, the service itself featured remarks by former mayor Joseph 21-g- Brimhall, under with certain stipulations as outlined by recreation committee members. Boyd and Joy Sunderland were present at the meeting to ask the council to override the Lehi Planning and Zoning Committee's negative verdict on a modular home park on their property. . ,v "We understand your feelings on the matter and we're sorry for people who are trying to get homes now, but we can't change the decision that the Planning and Zoning Committee has made," the mayor stated. "We have to think of the people who already have homes there and their feelings.

The crossing was built as originally planned but citizens requested the arm for more extensive safety precautions. Council members also discussed the collector road being proposed for South Center Street. Lorin Powell, City Engineer, proposed that the city buy the necessary property to build the extension of the street to approximately 500 South. Members of the council questioned the importance of the road and a decision on the matter was delayed until a study was completed. Doug Willes was present to complain about a culvert and drain problem on Fifth East. "You should clear up that problem before you go building new collector roads," Willes stated.

"All the profits go toward the boys baseball program right here in Lehi, and we work hard to make money for the boys," Oliver said. He asked that they have exclusive rights to the concession business at the park so that the money earned would stay in Lehi and help with promotion of boys sports programs. ; The council agreed to the request provided the group would go along whose ministration construction of the building had begun, and Salt Lake City Mayor Clarence Neslen. The main speaker was Governor of Utah, George Dern. "The people of Lehi should be proud of their men who served during World War I," he said. "That pride should lead them to resolve that the cause for which they died should not perish. Those men who served were 'heros all, in the cause of humanity,'" and he expressed the hope that the Memorial Building would turn people's thoughts to those men and the cause they fought for. True patriotism, he continued, extends to peace as well as to war. "My country, right or wrong," meant, he said, that the true patriot tries to keep his country in the right. It also meant that a "glorious death is better than an ignoble life." Dern then drew the attention of his audience to the ideals American had in view in the Spanish-America- n War and in World War I. In each case, he said, the blessings of liberty had been extended to the oppressed of the earth without thought of financial gain or the extension of dominion. The United States entered World War I, he said, "not to save her skin," but to extend liberty so that all might enjoy freedom without fear of oppression. The war was fought in an effort to put an end to war. Although the city offices have been moved to the Civic Building located one block away, the Memorial Building houses the Lehi Police Department, City Court rooms, the American Legion Hall, the city council chambers and the City Library.
