Comments about the recipient included those of Dr. Ellis R. Worthen, who succeeded Mr. Weight in the district supervisory position. Dr. Worthen stated, Ormon has probably done as much for music education in Utah as anyone in the entire state. He has always strived for excellence in music education. His enthusiasm and personal vigor have been contagious and have moved many people to do their best in music activities. Many of his former students are professional, and amateur musicians and attribute their continuing love for music to him. In the public education system 44 years, including 33 in Granite School District, Mr. Weight had served as a teacher of instrumental music at Olympus junior high, Cyprus and Olympus high schools before becoming district supervisor. Along with Marvin Strong, he helped organize the Granite Youth Symphony, elevating it to national stature while directing it in travels across the country, including the first student performance ever in the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Upon retiring from the district in 1975, Mr. Weight was named president of the Salt Lake Area chapter of Young Audiences, an organization which brings music to the lower grades in schools, cultivating an appreciation for music through presentations by trained specialists in six categories of music.
