Yours truly, Mrs. Samuel Crosby Orem, Utah Sept. 22. 1952 Editor, Standard Roosevelt, Utah Dear Sir: Would you please put an item in your paper about our recent Central High School reunion. (Central High that is now High) It was held at the Fairmont Park in Salt Lake City August 10 and Sept. 14. We are trying to get as many as possible of both students and teachers so we can make this a yearly affair. We want to interest everyone who went to Central from the time it be gan until the name was changed to Altamont High. The school was located in Boneta the first year (maybe it was there 2 years) and then moved to Mt. Emmons. Next year we have planned for a three day camping trip on the Yellowstone or Lake Fork By Shirley Chaisrin Rivers, to Include the 24th of of the most outstanding One July celebration always held at names in the pioneering of the Altamont. Anyone who hasn't Uintah Basin is that of A. M Murdock. Mr. Murdock came to the reservation before the settlers and set up a large circus tent This served as a trading post It was stocked with hay, grain and food supplies. Later in the fall at .1905 he built a store. It was the first business place in Duchesne. The first winter that the homesteaders moved into Duchesne, the store served the purpose of an amusement center. Meetings, parties, religious affairs .and even dances were held between the counters. Ur. Uurdock - helped finance the first telephone project in Duchesne. It was ini tailed in WITH A his home.

M. Murdock, Laird Dean, Paul Billings and Rock Pope carried on a campaign that won Duchesne the county seat. The first post office was in the Murdock store, with Dora Murdock as the first post mistress. Mindful of the need of education for their children, the settlers in the vUintah Basin lost no time' in getting one started. Most all of the small communities had a school organized by 1907. The Murdock home was used for Duchesnes first school house until better arrangements could be made. A stage line from Colton to Duchesne ww established in 1909 by Mr. Murdock. He also brought the mail In by stage at that' time. Mr. Murdock has freely loaned money to many worthwhile projects, one of them being the Rocky Point Ditch Co. In the rpring of 1907 they borrowed 15,000 to help speed up the work. It was 1909 before the ditch was used to any great extent. A great deal of credit goes to A. M. Murdock for helping He held colonize Duchesne. many public offices and was Duchesnes first bishop.

This marks the third consecutive year that the Salt Lake City dentist will head the National Foundations campaign - in the state. In his capacity as- state chairman,' Dr, Haymond will coordinate the activities of city and county campaign directors during the ; . j January appeal. . . We ire fortunate in bavin Dr. Haymond to lead the March of Dimes in Utah, Mr. OConnor said in announcing the appointment. The cost of financing the National repatient-carFoundations search and education programs has resulted in a corresponding need of greater March of Dimes support. Under Dr. Haymondg leadership I feel certain the people of Utah again will rise to meet the challenge." During the most recent March of Dimes, Utah contributed 9270,782.52 of the $41,432,605.80 raised nationally, an increase of 50.9 per cent over the previous year. In accepting the appointment. Dr. Haymond said: The great humanitarian work made possible by the March of Dimes deserves the support of every resident of Utah. I personally feel it is my obligation to devote time and energy to help continue this work. Son of. a pioneer Salt Lake City family. Dr. Haymond attended the University of Utah and completed his dental training at the University of Pen nsylvania. After 26 years in practice, he left Salt Lake City in 1945 to preside over the Northern States Mission of the Mormon Church in Chicago. He returned to practice dentistry in 1950 after graduate studies at Northwestern University. In addition to his civic, fraternal and church activities. Dr. Haymond is secretary of th; Utah State Health Council an.i also chairman of the public relations committee of the Utah State Dental Association. His home is at 1745 Avenue, Salt Lake City.
