They arrived en masse and in record time had the area completely cleared. They brought buckets and wheelbarrows and with so many students working so enthusiastically what would have been an ardous task for one or two individuals proved tobe an exhilarating experience. Mr. Stanley Riding, Chief Engineer, certainly wants to thank Principal Merrill crew from the Ashby and his Taylor School for their willingness to cooperate and assist with this project. Also helping were the following teachers: Mr. Ned Hansen and Mr. Joe Lynn Spencer; Miss Elaine Hathaway and Mr. Gary Taylor (student teachers) also assisted 1 Cooperation and public interest such as this lends a note of worthiness to a community where folks are striving tobe congenial in their dealings with their fellowmen. Indeed, the Taylor School has done a magnificent job in following the motto adopted by Payson City Hospital people caring for people. civic-mindedn- All we call success is not success and all we call failure is not failure.
