F. Hutchings. According to Mr. Hutchings, the festival this year should be one of the biggest and best in the history of the event. Hutchings and the UBIC committee have steps in preparation for the forthcoming convention. The UBIC is an annual educational convention, first started in 1923. Clubs, organizations, and several individuals have already been contacted to formulate plans for the various events and activities that will take place during the three-da- y convention. Helping Mr. Hutchings on the committee are: Paul Murphy, Bennie Schmiett, Ellen Rawlings, Merlin Sullivan; treasurer, Adelyn Logan; honorary Josephine Yergensen, and Wayne Malin is in charge of concessions. The majority of the publicity will be handled by the Roosevelt Standard and Uintah Basin Record, and also the Salt Lake City newspapers. Although none of the names have been announced, a number of speakers are to be on hand. A parade, which the committee is hoping will be the best ever, will begin the activities on opening day. No talent show will'be presented this year as in the past, but an All-Stshow, with participants invited, will take its place. A community band is to be organized, and anyone interested in joining should contact one of the committee members. Two exhibits already in line for the convention are a flower show and industrial display. Farm and other mechanical equipment will constitute the industrial display. Other events for which preparations are being made are: a fashion show, a dancing show, sports events, a teen-ag- e program, comg munity singing, a celebration, a marble tournament for youngsters, a doll show, and a pet show. A Queen will be elected to convenreign over the three-da- y tion. Miss Utah not yet named has been invited, and Story Princess will also be present. An agricultural group plans to conduct discussions on farm problems, and there will be a ladies department, consisting of ideas for homemaking. People who may have a desire to erect a concession booth should contact Wayne Malin. Mr Hutchings reminded officials of UBIC to watch for an announcement of a meeting to be made in the near future. . in More Y Graduates From This 3-- Area Are Listed1 An additional list of graduating students from the Brigham Young University this year has been released by the public relations department at that institution.
