Show Emery County Progress Spartan spot Scholar winner named by Maleah Day ECHS Tuesday, June 2, 1992 5A reporter I suppose there is no time more appropriate than graduation for those of us who are leaving life as we have always known it to reflect on those things that have shaped our characters and made us who we are, realizing we will be leaving for good. Some may say its a small and insignificant place, its not too close to Tina Ann Weihing, daughter of Leona Gwen Weihing and the late Fred Weihing of Green River, took first place honors in the field of industrial arts at the Southeastern Utah Sterling Scholar competitions held April 28 in Green River. Tina is a senior at Green River High School where she has been active in student gov- anything, and theres not much of what others would call excitement, but I say Emery County really isnt too bad of a place to be raised. The 1992 graduating class entered as sophomores into the high school to compete for the first time in the 3A bracket. That could have thrown us off for a while, but we didnt seem to bat an eyelash at the new competition. It was more like a new challenge to see if we could raise our abilities to a higher level, and we met the challenge well. Throughout our years in high school we have finished tops in more areas than any other school in our region even though we are the smallest, and our finishings at state have not been too shabby, either. We proved that quantity is not nearly as important as quality. And if its quality you want, you only have to stop on Spartan Center Street to find it. Emery is made up of teachers of the highest caliber, teachers I believe have given up careers bringing more ernment, athletics, drama and cheerleading. She has a cummulative GPA of 3.84, and earned her honors in competitions in the state and locally. She plans to continue her education in the computer technology field. is salutatorian of her graduating class.

These teachers instill in the students at Emery a desire to reach their highest potential in everything they do. That is why Emery is consistently successful in whatever they endeavor.

Emery makes good people. So, I say thanks to the school and people who have played such an important role in my life.

UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY 1992 Summer Quarter Classes CarbonEmery Area The reward for reading over a million minutes for students at Castle Dale Elementary School was a couple hours of swimming at the local pool. Photo by Lynnette Curtis Students earn activity for reading 1 million minutes Castle Dale Elementary students enjoyed swimming last week as a tangible reward for reading a million minutes. Cheers and shouts of joy resounded throughout the halls of the school recently as Mr. Worthen, chairman of the Read a Million Minutes project, announced that the millionth minute had just been recorded. A school-wid- e goal of reading a million minutes was issued to students in February, and students began to aggressively read their way through a million minutes. I liked watching Mr. Million grow, stated one student. She was referring to a bookworm who inched his way throughout the halls of the school, providing students a visual image ofhow they were progressing towards their goal. I liked the stories my mom read to me, said a kindergarten student. multi-segment- msm ed Teachers felt that students were motivated to read more out of the classroom and also asked parents to become more involved in their childrens lit- eracy development.
