The clubhouse, which was torn down in 1948, fostered a closeness among village residents that was not found in other communities. It was the center for school plays and other activities and the focal point for holi- day celebrations, particularly Christmas and New Years. There were originally 42 houses, 32 of them around the park in the heart of the village and another 10 along Powder Row, oval-shape- d which WEST VALLEY.

With the growth of the Salt Lake Valley and the introduction of the automobile, residents were lured to the larger population centers. The 10 houses on Powder Row were sold to their occupants and moved to a new location in 1940. Then in 1954, another 26 of the white frame homes were sold and moved out by the new owners. Tenants in the remaining six houses, some of them long time Hercules employees, have watched the Bacchus Works change in 33 years from a dynamite plant to a major contributor in the aerospace business. pre-scho- New 1986 Magna Directory Is Now Available MAGNA.

A bizarre story of intrigue and murder unfolded on the Granite high stage early this week. The tale was told by theater students under the direction of Gene McCombs. The single most outstanding aspect of the production was a stunning set designed by Lyle Dalsing. It simply couldnt have been more effective - constructed of wood paneling, it truly resembled a courtroom, complete with jury boxes. Student performers played a variety of roles, ranging from the accused murderess, gangsters, a strange collection of witnesses, a grieving widow and her father, a lady judge, the prosecuting attorney and a female defense attorney. -- over-protecti- The Night of January 16th offers an opportunity for the young performers to test their skills in any number of ways, playing high emotion, to just a touch of comedy. Accents and character roles abound, making it a popular selection among high school groups. Annette Cooley was calm and collected as Judge Heath. By contrast, Scott Wagstaff was called upon to show extremely strong emotions in trying to convince the jury -selected each night from among the audience - that the defendant should be convicted. He played District Attorney Flint and had some excellent moments with his emotional appeal. Working equally hard to convince that same jury that a verdict of innocence should be rendered was Philina Shira as Defense Attorney Stevens. Jenny Elliot was the accused, Karen Andre. She too had to portray strong emotions - most of them related to anger, and did so very -- well. Trying to help convince the jury that her husband had been murdered was Sylvia Wood as Nancy Lee Faulker. She was able to portray that she had been wronged, and the clashes between she and Miss Elliot were among the plays most dramatic moments. Her father was played by David Clouse, in a most convincing way. The character roles were played by David Baker, the medical examiner, Dr. Kirkland; Leesa Brasher, the janitors wife, Mrs. John Hutchins, who used an effective southern accent; Robert Mares, who was convincing as Homer Van Fleet, a somewhat bumbling private eye. Others were Charles Thompson as Elmer Sweeney, another witness whose testimony helped cloud the the vehicle has non- emergency applications as well, he noted. "It could be used with a large crowd, noting the vehicles public address system could find an ideal use during the West Valley Days festivities. In the future, he said, the Police Department would like to install other equipment to make the vehicle even more practical. A cellular telephone, for example, is one tool Hanson sees as necessary. We hate to commandeer someones home just because we need to use the phone or have an observation post. It doesn't do much for our public image to have a bunch of policemen stomping through someones house, he said. Another future installation could be a breathalizer for determining 1 a contract for C-- 2 C-- 2 Magna Trustees Meet Wednesday A MAGNA. monthly meeting of the board of trustees of the Magna Water and Sewer Improvement District will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the district office, 8950 W. 2700 South.

Currently housed at Fire Station No. 72, 4314 W. 4100 South, the vehicle is practically in the center of the city, Hanson pointed out, making it equally available to nearly all West Valley locations. Primarily intended for police use, situations may develop in which the vehicle could be used for firefighting as well, said.

Playing court personnel were Paul Clements, Lance Loiselle and Marl Primack. The show suffered some Monday from opening night problems, especially related to the memorization of lines. It also suffered from a lack of community and student support, which hopefully picked up later in the run, which concluded Wednesday.
