Of course, as we all remember, the depression continued, and it was necessary for the bank to again close its door9. This placed the Board of Education in a position whereby they were forced to foreclose and realize on the securities pledged by the Chipman interests. of the $100,000,00 Approximately pledged securities was Sold and the moneys used to pay off the enormous obligation previously mentioned, and today the Board of Education has been made whole as to n principal involved in this controversy. Also, its credit has been restored. The Board of Education, its attorney, and its officers ate indeed liberal in their praise of the manner in which the trustees and heirs of the Chipman Estate responded in fulfilling their pledge to the Board of Education, as they have cooperated in every possible way and sacrificed values in the sale of pledged assets. They are to be complimented for the sportsmanlike manner in which they met this The last most trying situation. was payment on this obligation made during the latter part of December, 1936, and the unused stocks and securities originally pledged by said trustees have now been returned to the James Chipman Estate. The Trustees of the James Estate have expressed Chipman their appreciation also to the Board of Education of the Alpine School District for the manner in which the latter have considered the interests of the trustees in liquidating that portion of the assets that was necessary in order to make the Board whole in the matter heretofore referred to.

The program was a March of Time, featuring members from as many classes as possible back to 1927.

In the evening a banquet was served to the alumni members and their partners, after which a basketball game between Lincoln High School and Lehi teams was featured. To wind up a very successful day, dancing was enjoyed in the gym to the music of Howard Nelsons orchestra. V8 Build A Highway long-draw- BOARD OF EDUCATION, ALPINE SCHOOL DISTRICT By J. F.

After sixty years and the advent of the gas buggy, the demand for better roads was so prevalent that the State created the State Road Commission which set out to help the counties map and improve their then present systems and extend them so that county seats might be connected and communi ties not served by a railroad be served by a passable road. This was in 1909. The commission made a tour in an old surrey pulled by a stout team of horses and had to administer first - aid in the form of Sffow and hay in the worst holes before they themselves could get over the roads. Surfacing with a good deal of gravel made it possible to get over the highways in a gas buggy at a speed as high as twenty miles an hour. With good luck and a fair day the trip from Provo to Salt Lake could be made in about three hours. Auto Needed Better Road This speed and the new automobiles went to our heads and the craze for travel was on. We were sum of spending the enormous $55,000,00 a year in Utah county on roads and looking forward when we would be able to reach the top speed of thirty miles an hour driving on them. We mortgaged the farm, or paid five down and promised five a week, got mama a bonnet and papa a linen duster to go with the new auto and asked the highway commission to build us still better-roat- rt. In some of the other states they were making macadam roads and tie-o- n even going so far as to sometimes make them of cement. They were urir, s roclrr, grave!, sandriry ar.d oil in various experimental combinations and so we tried them in Utah too. When some one suggested we try concrete we put our heads in our hands and thought of paying thirty thousand dollars a mile for a highway. It was more than the value of the land on both sides. But, on the other hand, when we drove our cars at five miles an hour, the spare tire rattled; at ten, the hood joined in; at fifteen, the lamps synchronized and at twenty papa could not hear mamas shouts from the back seat. So we raised the taxes, hiked up the license on booze, paid two and a half for a driving permit, a dollar for some nicklc-plateand. got numbers our new highway. New Speeds Possible ourselves on We congratulated saving money by using state convict labor, disposing of sprinkling wagons and in having acquired free from the war department a lot of surplus equipment not used ill our fight for ' democracy.' We expressed our self appreciation by taking a' second mortgage and buying one of the new sixes ' in We which we could almost fly. remembered that our grandfathers used to make twenty miles a day going between Provo and Balt Lake, stopping at Lehi and Dry finally Creek, and when they reached Salt Lake camping a night in the tithing office yard behind the reck wall where ,he Hotel Utah now is. Also that it took them a season to come from Missouri and a year to make a round trip to San Bernadino while we could arrive at the old tithing office corner and salute Brigham Youngs Statute im forty three minutes; make Omaha in a day and San Bernadino from breakfast to dinner. Also we began realizing all sorts of benefits through a steadily increasing rate of tourist travel. In 1917 the Federal Government began alloting vast sums to the states for the construction of a n-wide correlated system of 1935-3In highways. in Utah received $6,356,410.37 such aid. Its gasoline tax, motor transport mileage tax and such other sources of income (includAid money) ing the Federal amounted to $12,319,794.38. What would the grandfathers have said to the size of that sum to be spent on roads. We spend $30.00 a mile every year just to keep a yellow strip painted down their centers. What would they have said if they could have seen the beautiful bridges that replaced their timber ones and covered even the smallest ditches; or the many hghway signs (cost $57,120 46 in 1935-36- ) or heard that construction alone cost $7.850,07143, that maintenance cost $2,656,901.29, that policing amounted to $224,446.41, and on page six) d inte- 6 SHARON v Jan. 4, 1937 Back to school again, and that is ibout all With a yawn yawn hee, and a yawn yawn there, here a yawn there a yawn, a yawn yawn.

A record attendance saw the it performance and pronounced one of the best ever given. The chorus of Way Out West started it off very riithusiastically and the principals carried their parts throughout in a very pleasing manng. The dances were short and pretty and the Ballet number captivated the audience. All the costumes were new and will be kept in the school for future u?e. An outstanding feature of the opera was the splendid orchestra this added much : accompaniment,, to the singing and dancing. Special credit is due to Mrs. Melba Pyne who was the pianist. W. M, Vernan was conductor of the performance, Edgar Booth was the stage director. The lighting effects were very effective. We should appreciate the splendid lighting equipment that our school has to make these performances .successful. No other school in the state has a finer equipment than the Lincoln High. We appreciate the use of the Scera projector machine to aid in our programs. Parents Day P ro g r am On February 12, at 9:45 our Parent's ' Day program began with a devotion period at the Seminary. At 10:00 an exercise was held- in the auditorium for the Jr. and Sr. High classes, this was followed by a dancing and acrobatic exhibition in 'the gym. The luncheon period ran from 12:00 to 1:30, during this time the Jr, High badn plavcd in the auditorium. At 1:30 another exercise for the Jr. High was held in the auditorium, this consisted of a one-aplay and several other short features. After this program the parents went into the different room? to ee the exhibits and visit with the teachers. A very splendid display was shown in the Sewing room. This consisted of flowers and other fine works of our students. In the dining room was another exhibit showing how a few articles can be 'developed into an attractive luncheon. To end the days program the Jr. High opera Way Out West, was played in the evening. Our parents after seeing our work and talking to our teachers find that our school is not quite so monotonous as the school of their days. And there was the girl so dumb that she thonught baseball fans were a new kind of cooling Quicker Than The Eye Oil Thursday, January 28, at the students of Lin aln Jr. High School slowly walked into the auditorium, waiting patiently for their fir?t sight of Orendo, the Magician. Suddenly the curtains fly open and out steps our 12:30 attraction. He very cleverly ties together three silk handkerchiefs, and in some strange way they untie themselves. Later he takes three boys, Bobby Foutin, Ray Tucker, and Phil Cornier oti the stage. He very a huge knife cleverly passes through Bobbys neck, frightening the audience as well as Bobby. He asks for a white handkerchief, Mr. Rogers kindly lends his for the experiment. After making a large hole into a large- - one and a few other fisgrievings Orendo and Ray Tucker finally get the handkerchief back to its former shape. After this amazing feature we all went back to our classes where vve tried our best to do some magical tricks, trying them on both our friends and teachers. Unique Parties Given By Seminary A The Jr. High Seminary classes had a special party in honor of Abfaham Lincoln. Each student was required to bring twelve cents in pennies and an empty fruit jar. The pennies are to be used for contribution . lo the Seminary classes to buy a song cabinet. The pennies were gven back to the lucky ones. To get back the pennies you had to put jour chair about three feet back from your bottle and try to throw your pennies in. If jou were good at putting in you claimed them, but the ones that didn't happen to go in the bottle were given toward the song cabinet. Another game that took patience was to try and pick all of the pennies up with some very large leather gloves on each hand. Instead of picking up trie- pennies they just slid along the floor in most cases.
