Dick Cropper, who has divided his time between the warehouse and transportation supervisory duties, will go full time with transportation. Bradcy Carson, who has been in charge of the food services warehouse, will be in charge of both the food service and supply warehouses. He will have a haif-tim- e assistant at the warehouse. Because Cropper is also a bus driver trainer for the state, and with his increased work loads, the transportation department at the state office of education will pick up the rest of his salary. Carsons salary, and that of his assistant, will be picked up by Child Nutrition Programs, cost savings on cooperative purchasing, and the seven percent warehousing fees paid by the six districts using the warehouse facility. Salary for the new curriculum person will not be the same as the former assistant superintendents. That person will receive regular teacher pay, plus a supplementary fee for taking on extra responsibilities and extended summer employment. The estimated savings of 530,000 will be budgeted for curriculum and staff development projects designed to improve student learning. Thome also said he will form a district leadership team, made up of the three chief district administrators, the new curriculum person and one or two other floaters from along classified or certified personnel as needed.

Brent Thome. Since the retirement of former assistant Supt Boyd Keisel in September, there has been a great deal of speculation about who would replace him, but Dr. Thome answered that one easily no one will be assigned that task. Instead of bringing in a new assistant superintendent, a teacher will be brought in on special assignment to work with a district team focusing on curriculum and staff development, personnel and instructional services. Applications for this position are open to teachers now holding an administrative endorsement, according He emphasized it would be a to the superintendent. temporary assignment by an ongoing position held for one or two years at a time by a person who would then rotate back into the classroom. One reason for this process is to provide further leadership training for potential future principals. Other changes include consolidating administrative offices from three locations to two. Special services director Duane Bresce, who has been located on the RHS campus, will move to the district office, 195 East 500 North, and Child Nutrition Program director Karen Pace will relocate to the transportation and warehouse complex two miles north of Richfield on Highway 89. A teacher intern will be brought in to replace the teacher who is selected for the district curriculum position. Three other personnel changes have been made or will take place with the reorganization plan.

Following are their Reports AM Core Class: As a graduate core class at North Sevier High School, we took into consideration the five areas we feel are necessary for balance in life. We created a survey to see how our community viewed these areas. Our goal was to survey males and lemalcs in three age groups, (20 to 40), (41 - 60), (60 and over), and compare possible differences m their opinions. Some results were clearly predictable, however, others were startling. Following is our summary of results in each area. Intellectual. We found that 70 of those surveyed believes in participating in learning activities after they complete high school. When we compiled the results and found that half believed only high school education is necessary to function in society, we w'ere shocked. Could it be that as a society ye accept only high school education and do not pursue the opportunities of higher learning? Another possibility might be that many of the jobs available to our community require only a high school education. From this survey our class realized that a contradiction had been made. A little less than 50 said we only needed a high school education, yet 70 said they participate in learning activities after high school. Physical Females are getting 20 less sleep than males. The reason for this may be females take care of the household, keep family members happy, do a majority of chores, and tend to any small children. On an average, 37 of the males exercise every day. Eleven percent of the females said they exercise daily. A possible explanation for this may be that the careers held by the males may require physical activity. 42 of the males and 70 of the females agreed that 5 to 8 hours of physical activity a week are needed to stay physically fit. Social. After surveying females age 61 and over, we found they spend more time alone than time socializing. This could be because they may not be able to get out as much as younger women to socialize. Also, 90 of these women feel more comfortable with family than friends. Maybe being closer to death they feel they should spend what time they have left strengthening family relations. As for the men 61 and over, they feel their time alone is equal with time socializing. We surveyed females age 20-4- 0 and found they feel equally comfortable with friends and family. They also say they spend equal time socializing with ume spent alone. Men aged 20-4- 0 spend 25 more time socializing than older men. Their time spent socializing is 10 more than time spent alone. Thirty-thre- e percent of these men feel they balance their time. These man probably have friendships earned from school, or may socialize a lot with people they work with. The age 41-6- 0 females have pretty good balance between socializing and being alone, but compared to the men their age, they socialize 13 more of the time Men in this age bracket spend 42 more time alone than socializing but feel more comfortable with family This could be because they are on the job working to provide for the family. We also tound out that 50 of the men in our community rarely participate in school or commumt) events Yet, the women gel more involved in the community and school events happening around us. Emotional From this survey we found that 90 of the participants claim they are in control ol their emotions. W hen asked how they face conflicts, of the five options given, 33 said they resort to anger, followed closely by sadness w llh 32 . The biggest stressors in our commu lack of time, 30 cc, and mtys lives are money, family, Twenty tw'o percent of the older age group conlcss that their biggest worries are death and loneliness When results were tallied on how our public deals w uh stress, work was number one followed by eating Another choice, exercise, was the least common answer Spiritual In our survey, 72- - ol all age groups, male and female, said that religion had a big effect on their lives Eighty-nin- e percent said they believe in one religion, yet only 55 feel that they abide by its standards most of the time; 26 said they do all the time. Over hall of the respondents spend at least 1 to 3 times a week participating in organized religious activities. On the subject of religion in the school system, the results varied greatly. Forty percent feel there should be prayer m ceremonies; 21 expect the school to offer religious history classes; and 20 think there should be no religion in school at all 36; 20. - Angela Freeman Recently the upper graduate PM Core class at North Sevier High Schol presented a survey to the community covering live mam areas of interest: physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual.
