Students from Roy High School, Roy Junior High, and Sandridge Junior High gave their ideas of what the new facility should include and listed some of the popular activities at their various schools that might find a home in the recreation complex. Mike Hein and Craig Ogan of Roy High, Jim West of Roy Junior High and Corinne Jones and Mark Coleman of Sandridge Junior high expressed interest in the swimming pool and told of interest in an activity center, roller skating, and numerous other indoor sports. Dave Allen represented the North Park Baptist Church in expressing an interest in a place for family activities, where we can go with our families and enjoy recreation together. He felt that bonding was a sensible way to provide these facilities. Great interest in the meeting was generated in a discussion with Guy Schuurman, Head Librarian of the Weber County Library System. He said Roy City needs a branch library and we are committed to building a library for Roy in the future. Federal funds are now available and if cf the cost of a obtained could pay up to 50 library wing on the new complex. When asked if a recreation complex is the place for a library Mr. Schuurman responded, lochanged our thinking about the cation of libraries. We had always been told we have PRESENTING shoes to two young Roy boys for their honesty and help in returning stolen .( he ks from Kinneys shoe store in Roy is store manager, Jim Hubbard The boys are Terry Strickland, left, and Ken neth Pearson They tound the discarded bag on their way from school (See story page 2) never to build a library in a park, yet the new Weber County Library has proved to be one of the most successful in the United States. I think the idea of having a center for activity for the whole family would make chances for a successful library here excellent. When told of an idea that the library be located in the basement of the facility he said your chances for failure then would be good. Mr. Schuurman indicated that ideally the library would have at least j,000 square feet of space and it could be built and furnished for about $120,000. The Weber County library would provide the staff and all materials for the library and would pay for the maintenance and upkeep of the library part of the complex. It was hoped that the county would provide at least 25 of tn funds needed for the construction cf the library. The complex committee must now sift the information it has received in previous meetings including the statements last week from the school principals, the Roy recreation director, the director of the community school and specialists on swimming pool construction to determine the type of facility to recommend to the Roy City Council. Next week the committee will work in subcommittees to make proposals on the design of the pool and the multi-purpoarea. Chairman of the subcommittee studying the pool is LaVar Smith and heading the committee on the multi-purpoarea is Frank Winward. Persons with ideas or questions should contact these men or Kay Herzog, Committee Chairman. se se Students begin p clean-u- The students of ROy Sand Ridfje Junior High are going to trj to clean up Roy. -- attempting this project, students have formed a general committee consisting of Jeff Manning, Kim Anderson, Jenny Cowan, Debbie Fielding, Lori Porter, Lola In the Iill Ray.
