Show MARCH 31, 1987 SceDikidcdDs LHS students know bridges! Former CHS teacher involves students BOUNTIFUL Teachingchild development I, II and III, foods, life management, interior design, occupational clothing plus acting as the FH A advisor and developing a program to integrate mildly handage children icapped into a standard child development lab isnt an easy job. Many skills are needed to provide enough instructional and hands-o- n experiences for high school students to make these classes home economics-relate- d worthwhile. That means dividing pre-scho- ol the classes of about 30 students per section into several groups, providing lesson plans for each group and rotating the students so all ex- perience the complete program. Time must be set aside for FHA (Future Homemaker of America) activities and for grading, evaluating and assessing the students and eachs individual program. Mary Lou Seamons, teacher at Bountiful High School, has been able to perform all the necessary tasks in these many areas to a high level. Her accomplishments were Davis Dartboard By rent SONYA SILL guess you could say last week was one event after another. Between assemblies, getting ready for Prom, and winning local competitions, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The ATAC Club invited Jevon Thompson, former drug addict and drummer for Mick Jagger and other groups, to speak to Davis students on the use of drugs, and dealing I with peer pressure. Previously, Jevon was featured in Salt Lake City and on Oprahs special, Say No! How about them juniors? Thursdays Junior assembly was good, but could have been done without the dumb acts between performers. Next time leave the cowboys out. Its getting old. Besides that, everything was great, especially the junior Boyettes. We- - they hot? (Compared to the Senior Boyettes -- - well you know.) Welcome home to our traveling Symphonetta group. They recently returned from an invitational in sunny California. Also congrats to the debate team on another fine win! Prom was held March 28 at the Capitol Rotunda. What a special night it was with everyone decked out in their fancy duds. The Junior Committee deserves thanks for the hard work they put in preparation for the event of the year. For those who werent fortunate to go, Im sure you found a nice reject party some where. Career Ladder Day was great! (Thanks from all those doing research papers in Ms. Barnetts class.) But were (especially the Seniors) already looking forward to Spring break in April. t recognized on March 27 when she was named Utah Home Economics Association Teacher of the Year. The presentation was made at Dixie College in St. George, the site of the UHEA convention. Recognition by peers is one of the highest honors any person can achieve. Mrs. Seamons, a graduate of Utah State University with a B.S. and masters degree in home economics education, has taught at Bountiful High for two years. Prior to that, she taught 10 years at Clearfield High and she has also taught out of state. She has been active in professional organizations and' has served many years as an FHA advisor. One of the outstanding accomplishments that helped Mrs. Seamons earn this special recognition was the development of a program that upgrades the child development lab program, a hands-o- n experience nearly every child development class has incorporated into curriculum. In a regular child development class, students work in a lab setting that resembles a for about 14 weeks. Lesson plans are written for the multifaceted segwhich inments of a cludes opening theme, structured play, story time, music time, cleanup, lunch, creative activity, free play and getting ready to go home. Students teach, observe, plan and prepare for the different sections of the lab curriculum. Included in the program are visits to elementary schools and day care centers. Under ordinary circumstances, a child development lab is challenging for students and teachers. Mrs. Seamons proposal, which was written last Spring and funded Act and through the administered by the State Office of Education, allows the mainstreaming of mildly handicapped children, ages 5 xh, into the Bountiful High School child development labs. There are between three to five handicapped children in each lab. The federal grant money is used to partially fund an aide and buy needed equipment. A video camera and recorder allows Mrs. Seamons to tape the students working in the lab and allows dents to observe themselves at work and make evaluations of their strong and weak points. Mrs. Seamons program has received funding for a second year. On the wall her room is a copy of a Chinese proverb that says, When I hear, I forget; when I see, I remember; when I do, I learn. This philosophy is carried out in the instructional methods used by Mary Lou Seamons, Utah Home Economics Association Teacher of the Year. Since the early LAYTON 1970s physics students at Layton High School have been taking 11 sticks of balsa wood, one tube of glue, one deck and two base blocks and converting them into a bridge, designed to withstand the stress of a special machine designed by Utah State University. They have been extremely successful, trading off top honors with Roy High School for the past five years. The annual bridge building contest attracts high school students from Davis County and north into Idaho. This years winner at Layton High was Lee Johnson, his bridging holding 1721 pounds. Lee placed second in the state competi tion. The student next to him in the state competition had a bridge that broke in the 1500 pound range for example. There were 10 contest entries from Layton High. The event is a tradition that carries the same challenges, mental strain and rewards as a major athletic event. Each year the machine used to break the to place the bridges is stress points in different places. This makes it so a student cant rely heavily on designs that were successful in the past. Lee, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson, is a senior. This is his second year in the bridge competition. He changed his design 1 from last year and the more traditional approach he used workedf-well- . He is currently enrolled in physics, AP chemistry, calculus ", and computer programming. H&i; has been accepted at the Universff: ty of Utah and plans to earn a de- gree in electrical engineering. The top five bridge builders at Layton High were Johnson (1721 pounds), Scott Morrow (1598 lbs.), Michael Gedris (1543 lbs.), Ed Burke (1504 lbs.), and Bret Cutler (1441 lbs.). Kristin Novak received the special school honor for the most aesthetic bridge. It was also very durable and broke at 1,340 pounds. , . pre-scho- ol pre-scho- ol Morgan Elementary School PTA reflection contest winners include: front, Marianne Oldham,- left, Heather Barlow, Collette Morse, Stina Peterson, Marcie Summers, Cora Sentistevan, Tasha Crowther, Carrie Iverson and Rebecca Barker; middle, Roselyn Powers, left, Amy Newbold, Laurissa Wallin, Quin Card, Ja Nae Arbuckle, Susanna Johnson, Rory Powers, Jeremy Oldham, Jennah Crowther; back, Billy Prows, left, Justin Arbuckle, Ivan Le Pendu, Joe Everton, Daniel Burner, Merrilyn Dyches, Laura Bone, Jason Agnello and Prin Hank Emery. - M Karl-Perki- Layton Lancer Lines Welcome to the fourth term Just think in two months we will be out of school, and some of us will never return to LHS as students. That really is an exciting thought. First, I would like to congratulate the drama students who were in the performance of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. They did an excellent job all three nights. The pit band should also be com! mended for this performance, along with Mr. Ferrin, who directed the play. All these people put in many hours of work and they should all be commended on an excellent production. Of course, everyone knows that next week is Junior week, ending on Saturday with the Junior Prom at the Hotel Utah. Guys, if you dont have dates, it is kind of late, but you probably could still find a date. Girls, it wouldnt hurt to start looking for a good reject party. Congratulations and good luck to Pauline Shanks, Wes Pentz, and Kim Nalder. These students made it into the final competition of Sterling Scholar, in the areas of foreign language, industrial arts and social science. They are now moving on to state competition, which was to be held April 1, but since I am writing this a week early, I dont know the results of the competition. Anyway, Im sure these students represented LHS well. Thats about all for this week, so until next week, have fun and remember, its almost over! 3-- Whats for lunch Lunch menus for the elementary schools for the week of April 6 include: Monday, April 6, hamburger in a tomato and dill bun slice, French fries, applesauce, sugar cookie and milk.

The food was prepared by the Layton foods service staff. About 80 Honor Society members attended the dinner. Special guests included the school administration and Layton PTSA President Shirley Randall. Featured speaker at this annual banquet was Dr. Blythe Ahlstorm, Administrative Assistant to President Stanford Cazier of Utah State University. Dr. Ahlstorm compared the U.S. school system with the Japanese schools. He said the Japanese do a better job of educating the lower achievers by creating a feeling of pridfe and accomplishment in all students for the job they can do and the contribution they can make to society. Dr. Ahlstorm also told the students that chance plays an important role in your life. He described an accident he witnessed on his way from Logan to speak at Layton High School. A sports car rolled over just in front of him. Although no one was seriously injured, this chance happening could have had serious consequences for several people including Dr. Ahl- storm. The USU educator explained Honor Society members are better prepared to handle many situations including college studies and future goals than those who dont make a serious commitment to education. Honor Society President, Darin Kawabata, introduced a special white cowl that Honor Society members will wear at high school graduation. He explained that there are many requirements an Honor Society member must meet in addition to a high academic standard. Honor Society members must give service to the school and community and they must be active in special Society projects. According to Darin, members of the honor society visited rest homes, made cookies for the student? at Monta Vista, tied quilts for the Primary Childrens Hospital and served as ushers at the annual Back to School Night, dmg Play auditions set The Kaysville Community Theais holding auditions for Here We Go Again.
