He wanted the words "Public Enemy Number 1" trimmed into his new haircut. Dan Jorgenson realizing that he might be alienating a client, something he could ill afford to do, answered the youth, "No, I won't do that." Being the "new barber in town" is sort of like being the new kid on the block. Yet Dan isn't afraid of the new barber image. He learned his trade at Utah Barber College in Salt Lake City and also studied at Mary College of Beauty. Dan barbered at a shop in Provo before opening his own shop in Lehi. He's . i's seen the outrageous and the conservative in designer haircut, and can do both. Some of his most difficult assignments have come in the form of little boys. Some of them cry and yell. They definitely don't like to get their hair cut. The best way to solve this problem is for mom or dad to sit in the chair and put the youngster on his or her lap. "This usually works," Dan said, "but I like kids. We get along just fine." Once a National Guardsman entered, the shop and asked Dan to cut him a Mohawk. "I did it. I trimmed to a strip of hair running right down the middle of his head." See BARBAR on page 3 .le C mm ?, if ' - , j Drug-Fre- e the school. This barber knows how to say, 'No' 4 y.

The eigh itructure, constructed of Cottonwood ogs, had the gaps chinked with ieces of wood and daubed with :lay. The building's roof, which eaked in wet weather, consisted of villows plastered with mud. The west of the schoolhouse insisted of a sod fireplace which irovided both heat and light. A dank door which opened to the tast offered a magnificent view of It. Timpanogos. Homemade furniture was sturdy hough sparse. Instead of having leaks, students worked on a large mooth writing plank while sitting stools or rough-lewd n s benches. There were no few or writing slates, pen n three-legge- black-ward- the difficult task of educating thirty to forty students of all ages, no two of whom were at the same level of Young's visit to achievement. Other teachers known in the school were Thomas Taylor, Phoebe Woodworth, Malissa Lamsome, John Murdock, Joseph T. H, Colledge, a Mrs. Moorehead and a Mr. McGuire. In addition to teaching they were expected to discipline, plant seeds of culture, maintain the building and tend the fire as needed. Teachers were paid by the parents of their students in produce, firewood, or other needed items. Because school was usually in session only a few months each year, it was necessary for teachers to seek supplementary work. Most of them also worked as farmers. In addition to school, the Log Schoolhouse served a variety of community functions for nearly twenty years. Its walls resounded with the activities of religious assemblies (it was the town's first Mormon meetinghouse), city council meetings (it was the first city hall), elections, dances, and theatrical productions. It also doubled as a boarding house for visitors. A 1 May 1853 account of Brigham A to have taught cils and very little paper. Learning materials, which were shared by two or more students, consisted of a few readers, spellers, and almanacs. The Bible and Book of Mormon, which were found in nearly every LDS household, were the most frequent books. One-rooschoolhouses like Lehi's the scene of hundreds of recitations, compositions, and spelling bees - were the backbone of the American education system in the nineteenth century. Most pioneer teachers were young, dedicated, and poorly paid. Few had formal training often it was sufficient that they knew how to read. James Kirkham, who was hired as an assistant teacher, noted in his 11 December 1869 diary that his examination consisted of a "reading in the Bible and an example in - - fractions." Lehi's first teacher, Preston Thomas, was faced with long-legge- d the city reported that his traveling company "came to a halt at Dry Creek at 5:30 p.m. meeting was held in the Lehi schoolhouse, when the Governor's escort arrived, a guard of 16 men were detailed to watch the horses all night.The troops were stationed at the schoolhouse." At Governor Young's urgings most Lehi buildings were moved in the fall of 1853 to a more strategic position in order to protect against Indian attack. The Log Schoolhouse was dismantled and rebuilt at approximately 80 West Main (where Laney's is now). During the winter of 1854-5- 5 the Lehi Dramatic Club was formed in the schoolhouse where a tempo- rary stage was constructed. The group's first productions were "Priestcraft in Danger," and "Luke the Laborer." Costumes and scenery were a wagon cover painted scarce with charcoal and red paint served as the backdrop. Admission was paid with grain, the currency of the This old Log Schoolhouse was first public building for Lehi, and as such was scene of classes, city council meetings, religious services and many other activities in early days. day. The school continued to be used for public functions until at least 1864. The earliest Lehi property records show Paulinus Allred owning the site in 1871. No one knows precisely when the building was demolished, but in 1900 S. W. Ross built the building on the site which is now Laney's. |
