Multi-us- e of school facilities for the education of the youth during the day and training of adults in the community school classes in the evening, as well as other projects, have of Roys many uplifted the mind. Multi-us- e parks adjacent to its schools has uplifted the body through activities. Cooperative use of the new activity center will further enhance all of Roys citizens and other interested people, young and old. Schools in the city of Roy educate many children. The five elementary schools have an enrollment of 2,482 pupiles. The two secondary junior high schools have 1,504 pupiles and Roy High School has 1,365 students. The total educational program for Roy and adjoining communities during its davtime program numbers 5,351 students. These children and young people ia years to come will be Roys future citizens as well as civic and community leaders We can be proud of the schools and the joint cooperative effort between the city and school officials in this community. . the open contains three teacher stations opening into a large room. Originally, the clusters were designed to have three rooms in a cluster with folding partitions separating the rooms, but the concept of the open cluster was initiated and implemented. The partitions were eliminated and carpeting was installed in the cluster. We have found that this type of situation provides versitilitv, flexibility and mobility for students with a minimum waste of time; thus conducive to efficient use of time and space. The team teaching approach is suited for this type of structure. The teachers in each cluster plan cooperatively to provide the best possible program for the students in their cluster. The teachers have found that they grow professionally by cooperating and planning with other professional teachers. Plans are developed on our and we terms. The teachers feel that through this cooperative type of teaching, the educative and evaluative processes situation. are superior to the We feel that team teaching provides an opportunity for the children to obtain the benefits of the optimum use of talents of more than one teacher. We work toward small group and individual instruction as much as possible. We do have some large groups (all students in a cluster) participate in opening exercises, music, physical fitness and sometimes art. The program must remain flexible in order to accomplish the purpose of meeting the needs of the students. Team teaching provides an excellent opportunity for teacher training, which we feel ultimately results in improved instruction. We do not have grade chairmen, or cluster chairmen. We have three or four professional people in a cluster who plan cooperatively to accomplish the task before them. Henry A. Matis ,..nw Preside0 Weber County School Board PTA lauded Education has always played a vital role in the 100 years of growth of the City of Roy, Utah. As in such endeavors, many vigorous people and interested youth are concerned with the present because of the events of the past. Progress has been made because of joint efforts of count less numbers of interested individuals, and the genuine labors of many fine people who have given so freely of their own time, energy and special talents to promote the opportunities of learning, understanding and leadership. One such American Organization is the National Parent-Teache- Association r which was established in Washington D.C. in February of 1897 for the advancement of education and the promotion of cooperation between and parents teachers. One of the purposes is also to courage parents to become acquainted 'with conditions affecting the life of their children outside of school and home and to awaken united community interest in child welfare. Our schools in the Roy area have really embraced this philosophy. That philosophy is cooperation between PTA officers, room mothers and teachers, school principals, school health nurse and all school officials throughout each school y.ear. It is also interesting to note that each school principal also serves as one of the vice presidents of his own school PTA organization. National Education Week was noted from Oct. 1973, and in our local schools close cooperation and much friendship was observed between the PTA organization and the local schools in appreciation of teachers - such as special corsages for teachers, special snacks and goodies for teacher lunch break, and even a special dinner given in honor of one school faculty. The Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers have presented several awards to local school history books. One such award, among many others, was presented for superior achievement to the North Park Elementary School for school history Volume I in 1959. That year the Utah State Theme was The pursuit of excellence through improving education and family The National theme ws living. Strengthening the home, source of our Nations greatness. A dedication taken from Volume I, of the History Book of North Park PTA, awarded superior achievement by the Utah Congress written by North Park Elementary School PTA, fifth vice president and and 1960-6Mrs. historian for 1959-6Horace ( Patricia ) Bennett is as follows : With the successes and failures of the past, the services and the prayers of today, and the hopes and the promises of tomorrow, one day, in the tomorrow the decisions, the management, and the leadership of the people of the entire world will be in the hands of the youth of today. In this youth is an opportumty to help insure that the world of tomorrow will be a better world than the world of today. The educators, the theologians, and the parents have an immense never-endinit is these people who responsibility-fo- r give so unselfishly of their time, their love, and their knowledge, who guide and teach the youth of today. The ultimate world of tomorrow is in the making today. It is to the educators, the theologians, and the parents - Ihe Parent-Teache- r Association that this book is dedicated. 21-2- Note the clothes on these girls back in 1920 as lhe prepare for another school day. 0 Miss l.ambert (Brown) had a going ball team each sear.

In the same year my professional career began in the Weber County School district as an elementary school teacher. A few years later I became an elementary school counselor and then an elementary school principal. At the present time, I am serving as principal of the North Park Elementary School. In my opinion, the teacher is the key in any educational program involving children and emphasis should be on building a positive self image through sucis accessful experiences. cepting and loving every child regardless of his individual differences. I also believe that every staff member in a school, including PTA, has a significant influence on each student and plays an important role in helping the child to develop his full potential. School should be a happy place where everyone is concerned about each other and work together to achieve the goals of education. An essential part of the childs learning experience is acquiring a sense of values which motivate him to respect authority and the rights of others. Because of the people, I consider Roy an ideal community in which to work. I am married to the former Janet Parker and we have six children.

We have had good parent participation in our activities and a willingness to assist the developing good educational programs. We know we must be sincerely interested in the individual child and have a feeling for his needs and give him a sense of belonging to our community. Our childrens intelligence is the greatest and most important resource we have. We must assist them to develop their intelligence and knowledge with good attitudes and a willingness to serve their fellowmen and give honor and integrity to our community and country. With the spirit of our centennial, I hope we can continue the spirit of building and creating in making Roy a community where we can be proud to live, and under the direction of our good competent teachers and support personnel, receive the best educational opportunities to assist our children adapt to the responsibilities of the world.

Mr. Jones is beginning his eleventh year as an elementary school principal. He has been a teacher and principal in the Idaho Falls School District . He has a Bachelor of Arts from Idaho State University, a Masters of Educational Administration from the University of Idaho and is presently completing an Educational Doctorate at Brigham Young University. He is married to the former Sharon Rasmussen and they have six children. Our challenge as educators is to construct an educational program that is concerned with the intellectual, physical, emotional, moral and social development of each student at Lakeview Elementary School and to help himher prepare to accept hisher responsibilities as a functioning and contributing member of society. We have long acknowledged the fact that all children ar- - unique, therefore, programs must be developed for children that meet their needs and learning rates. Individual progress does not imply that something different be provided each child, but rather, something appropriate. Individually appropriate activities can best be provided by utilizing flesible, task oriented, small groupings, laboratory and instructional resources experiences which change frequently as to purpose and composition. Lakeview faculty believes it is essential that children move from one skill or concept to another when the previous skill has been mastered. Most knowledge is based upon previous background with skills and understanding following in sequential order. We also recognize that each child will be on a continuum with regards to their progress and ability. This type of program provides for all children and serves to capitalize on the needs, interests and abilities of each child. A basic purpose of the Lakeview School is to personalize the educational program and help each child meet success, discover his own worth and develop positive self image. Each child should be able to explore various areas of interest. We have a desire to encourage the childs creative ability and to enhance or develop this ability. Through cooperative involvement, the Lakeviews Winning Team desire that: The Student gradually assume responsibility for his own learning, and through successful experiences acquire the basic skills, concepts and attitudes essential to a life of continuous learning. The Teacher continuously diagnose learning needs, prescribe learning activities and evaluate progress and direction. The Administrator provide support, direction, assistance and maintain an informed staff and community. The Parents be informed, involved, and supportive of the childs program and achievement. The Community be involved in activities supportive of the continuous educational growth of children. Lakeview School Principal is Norman Gene Jones.
