An accomplished athlete, Cyd felt that Johnson had already made certain choices in his life that precluded a return; she suggested that he should only be allowed to serve as a coach or sit on the sidelines. As a service project, Cyd participated in the refurbishing of the old Hutchings Museum building for use as an arts center.

In commemoration of the Utah Statehood Centennial, the Lehi Round-uCommittee has prepared a spectacular flag presentation which will highlight the history of our state, from a time even before p p the state existed. Melvin and Dona Anderson undertook a research project to find out about early flags of the area. With the help of John L. Cross of Orem, who had prepared "Flags Over Utah," the committee commissioned several historical flags for use in the Round-ucelebration. The flag of the Mexican Republic flew over the territory as early as 1823 following the war between Mexico and the United p - J' y States.

With over 100 wagons participating, the wagon train will have covered 446 miles by the time the trek is completed in Cedar City on June 28.' It was Wagons ho!' Tuesday morning, as covered wagons, bug gies, and carriages pulled by draft horses, mules and even oxen, accompanied by riders on horses, pulled out of Draper's Corner Canyon Equestrian Park where they had camped the previous evening. Many were dressed in period clothing. Once on its way, the procession was over a mile long. Many North Utah County cities were represented among the participants, but none so notably as the small bedroom community of Alpine. Members of a least 12 Alpine families have See WAGON TRAIN on Page 5 Southwicks named Grand Marshalls for Round-u- p By LAURA GRAY Week just With Round-uaround the corner, activities are p being planned and final decisions are being made. And deciding who would be this year's Grand Marshalls for the Lehi Round-u- p wasn't too hard, considering they have been part of this annual event for a number of years. Mike and Shirley Southwick, both born and raised in this community, were selected as this year's Grand Marshalls and will be part of Lehi's annual parade and introduced all three nights of the rodeo. "What we try to do is have someone who has contributed to the community to be Grand Marshall," said Dona Anderson, a member of the Civic Improvement Association. "One year the parade and activities committee chooses them and the next year, the CIA does. Inasmuch as Mike just retired as president of the CIA, he was chosen," she said. The Southwicks feel honored about being selected to represent the community in this way. "I think Mike deserves it," Shirley said, "but I wish he could do it without me. He feels it's an honor." "It's a great honor that people think enough of you to do this," Mike said. "I just hate notoriety." And their three children and 13 grand children are pretty proud of them, too. According to their Brock grandson, Southwick, "I love being over here with them." "And we love being with our grand kids," Shirley said. Their family is close and Mike currently has an electrical business with one of his sons. "It keeps my busy," he said. Two years ago, Mike retired as president of the CIA, a position he held for three years. Prior to that, he was vice president for four years. Mike was asked to be on the committee when he worked for the city several years ago. "I was just a committee man for a while then I was picked to be the director.. .for I don't know how many years," he said. Mike worked under four presidents before he was elected. "I loved to be on the committee," he continued. "I worked with a bunch of really good guys. Everyone had a job and got it done. I really enjoyed it. Associating with the guys was what I liked the most. If a bunch of guys can get together and put something together that's quite an accomplishment." Being involved so heavily in the community must have seemed like e a job, they were so busy. "We'd have meetings all winter to plan for the summer," Mike said. "It was a worry at times with the to have a good rodeo that rodeo would make everyone happy. Trying to please everyone is a tough job, but Shirley was behind me every time. She was real thoughtful." And while Mike was busy helping the community not only by serving on the CIA but also as a fire fighter for 36 years, Shirley was home taking care of her church callings and making sure the children got a good education. "The thing I feel like I accomplished the most was after the kids graduated," Shirley recalls. "I told them, 'When I get through with you kids going to school, full-tim- presentation. Other flags in the presentation will include the flag, which shows Utah as the newest addition, as well as the Utah state flag and the current flag. Stock contractor Cotton Rosser, of the Flying U Rodeo Company, will use the presentation at the Ute Stampede in Nephi and the Golden Spike Rodeo in Ogden, also in commemoration of the centennial. Tickets for the 1996 Lehi Round-uRodeo are on sale now at Western Tack and Togs, 36 S. 200 West, and at Ream's Boots and Jeans, 68 W. Main, both of Lehi.

It featured a beehive as a symbol of industry, as well stars signifying the original 13 colonies. Later, the Utah Territorial Flag featured the same rising star.

Shirley now teaches Family and Consumer Science at American Fork High School. "It actually started out as a joke," Shirley said. "I worried about taking classes with younger about how we would people but they helped me relate through it. I loved that experience. I love being around young people." They also love being a part of Lehi. "We love living in Lehi," Shirley said, "and loved raising our kids here. We've got some great friends here." "Lehi is a great town and the people have been great," Mike said. "And we really enjoy the rodeo here and being associated with it. From the time we were married we've missed maybe two, and we still go. There have been a lot of good times." "When you do community service you grow to know the people and they add to your life," Shirley said. "You help each other and it brings a bonding that doesn't happen any other way."
