Andersen and brothers Mr and Mrs Roger Andersen and Mr and Mrs Keith Andersen They were joined July 4th by Dr Bench and the family were joined by the Roger Andersens and C E Andersen on a vacation trip to the midwest CONSOLIDATION -- NOT RECOMMENDED The possibility of a consolidated central program at the is not feasible at this time because secondary level (grades of the limited amount of bonding power possessedby the district for the construction of new facilities trends continue consolidation If the enrollment may be forced In order to provide an adequate educational program at the present time none of the existing facilities However to consolidation efforts lend themselves nor does the district possess the financial capacity to provide the necessary facilities for consolidation FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS If the enrollment trends continue and declire in enrollment while the assessed valuation increases the district should continue to asses its situation The possibility of new facilities and a central secondary program (grades when and if the declining enrollment levels off and funds become available should be considered seriously by the district If trends continue this may not be feasible for at least 10 years If the enrollment trend changes enrollment increases and funds become available as a result of growth and prosperity the district should carefully consider consolidating the secondary in a location reasonably program (grades close to the growth area In the district Prior to a district consolidation decision in either of the above situations a study of both SouthSanpeteand North Sanpete School Districts should be conducted to determine the advisability of county consolidation In summary careful planning and assess ment on a basis is essential If the

Or do you want me' to thrive and look pretty? “Mother Nature intended that I should grow tall and produce' seed But I’ll agree that if I did that I wouldn’t be a nice green carpet or a rug for recreation" Trimming me is okay if you just don’t cut all my leaves off right down to the quick Don’t you know that my leaves feed my roots? The amazing process of photosynthesis takes place in my leaves The energy and light from the’ soil and the air are combined to make starches and sugars which I use as food to keep me alive and help me grow “My leaves are my manufacturing plant so to speak If you keep me cut too short my total leaf surface will be so small that I won’t have enough capacity to make plant food and I will starve and get weak However if you will adjust your mower to trim me at' a height of 12 to 2 inches and watered and keep me properly fertilized I can thrive be lush and green and make you happy When I am strong I also can with weeds and keep compete them out “After all I am not something to be subdued but need to be nurtured and cared for If you must insist on cutting me so short it might be better to dig me up cover the area with concrete and paint it green Shop at Home The Smokey 8 held a meeting June 25th at Brad Jensen's house We began our meeting at 3:00 Lois Sorenson said the prayer Dell Sorenson led us in the Pledge of Allegiance Perry led us in the Pledge and Douglas said the motto We cooked chili and made biscuits on a stick We had celery cake and milk to drink pickles We all had a good time and adjourned at 4:30 Brad Jensen on “How gave a demonstration to build a log cabin fire" however This plan Involves a holding operation with continuing to sites and buildings The following actions improvement are essential to Improve conditions but they do not alter program organization EPHRAIM Maintain existing class organization 2 Remodel and Improve existing facilities in the section on facilities Sanpete Junior Livestock Show Dinners Announced Winners of the Sanpete Junior Livestock Show were presented at Debbie Hone's place at 2:00 at the Dairy Princess Banquet Opening prayer by Linda Barney held Monday night at the Ephraim by Joan Pledge of Allegiance West Ward LDS Church They are Nay Pledge by Ruby Buchanan Safety and Health report by as follows said Ted Thompson chairman Lorna Westlund Marla Jensen L G Anderson of Gunnison Fitting and Showmanship: gave a report on fruits Lorna Westlund led us in "Home On underwent surgery at the VeterSheep -
