Utah-Pa- 5 ge Alpine Board Retains 'Lincoln' Name Despite Protests By DICK HARMON AMERICAN FORK Alpine School board did not properly consider input from students. After meeting with Dale Price, recently named principal of the new Lincoln High School, and Berdeen Jarman, current principal of Orem High School, Mrs Gilner said it is time to support the decision, let the students choose a mascot and school colors and get the show on th rr" - District Board President Phil said he feels the school board's unanimous decision this summer naming the new high school in Orem "Lincoln High School" was in Shumway community interests despite criticism he is still receiving from some Orem residents. He said the main source of dissatisfaction on the school board action has come from students at Orem High School and their parents, which a random survey conducted by The Herald confirms. Orem High's studentbody will be divided next year for enrollment in the new facility located on south Center Street in Orem. Mr. Shumway calls the school one of the nicest in the nation-Prima-ry objections by critics appears to be that the name of ' Lincoln'' was taken from a school previously built in Orem but now closed down. Objectors feel the board was resurrecting an old name for benefit of alumni special interest groups and not future students. But Mr. Shumway said students at Orem High School could be considered a special interest group themselves and not representative of the whole com- Before. Mrs Gilner and a majority her PTA board were critical of of the name picked by the board The initial decision of the school board was to name the school Lincoln High School, said administrative assis tant Harold Jacklin. of the Alpine School District the board They reconsidered it after concerns of citizens were aired " " i Random Survey Shows Students Dislike Name EDITOR'S NOTE: This survey does not reflect opinions of the entire Orem City community cor does i! attempt to outline findings of the alumni of Orem Schools or taxpayers as a whole. It surveyed students at Orem High School at the a present time and their parents select group not representative of all Orem adults and minors. A random survey ot students and parents of Orem High School conducted by The Herald indicated a majority do not agree with munity. He added, "We did involve students, alumni and community members as well as our staff in considering what the school should be named. I really feel we did act in representation of community interest. I don't know what we could have done differently." He said he doubted a reconsideration would be made of the name. "If we opened it up again after already reconsidering it once, we sould be criticized because we couldn't make up our minds." He said, "If I knew of a way to unite the community on naming a school, I would do it, but there just is not a way." This week, the school board was supported by the Orem High School PTA President Zolna Gilner, who said a few weeks ago she was concerned that the Alpine School District's decision naming the new Orem high school "Lincoln High School." Those parents who disagreed with the school board's decision said they felt the student input was not properly considered. Of the students surveyed, 89 percent objected to the name picked by the board, three percent agreed and seven percent had no opinion. Parents objected to the name by 46 percent with 25 percent concurring with the board and 29 percent registering no opinion. The board decision, which was made this past sumer, came after a committee chosen by the district studied the matter. A decision to name the school "Lincoln" was previously made, but objections from people in Orem spurred a reconsideration. The name was derived from a former school in Orem called Lincoln. It was the city's first hiph sool and was located on 800 South. In the telephone survey, over one percent of the student body and parents were queried. Students and parents who disagreed with the school board name were asked their preference. For students, eight names were mentioned. They included Rocky Mountain, 53 percent; Aspen, ? percent; Cascade, 3 percent; Orem West, 3 percent; Orem Central, 3 percent, and Lakeside, 3 percent. There were 21 percent of the students who objected to the name Lincoln but had no preference. Of the parents, 71 percent said they did not care what the school was named as long as it was not Lincoln; Rocky Mountain was favored by 7 percent; Geneva, 3 percent, and Orem Central. 3 percent. The questions were asked to 60 percent students who would be returning to high school tor junior or senior years. Of those underclassmen, 59 percent will be attending the new high school if the district makes the division line east and west of State Street as has been mentioned in board meetings. Students surveyed included 39 percent seniors, 36 percent juniors and 25 percent sophomores. Of the total survey, 57 percent lived east of State Street and 43 percent were west. Students and parents surveyed were picked randomly from the Orem High School student directory. In that first decision, said Mr Jacklin, the board took a list of names assembled at Orem High School The board did not know the names were listed in order of preference On March 20. 1979. the board reviewed the names which listed Rocky Mountain High School the number one choice followed by Lakeview.
