Show OD Lakeside Review Wednesday, L SHELLEY KANCITIS 1 ft' f . Review Correspondent r ROY Whether its $6.7 million price tag that may eventually reach almost $7 million represents a wise expenditure of education dollars is a frequently f I debated question. But few would disagree that High Schools new Roy auditorium and gymnasium, scheduled for opening on graduation day, rank among the best in Utah. Quite a contrast to four years ago when Roy Highs physical education facilities were rated as the poorest in the state for a school its size, according to Roy High Principal V.E. Griffin. Construction of the addition 114,000-square-fo- ot began in March 1982 with opening originally scheduled for September 1983. Weber School District Assistant Superinten- r . I . ' May 23, .1984 , , Roy High Mmmmm nt I North, dent Spencer Wyatt said problems with the weather and material availability acc torn for the delay. While the addition will have little impact on most academic subjects, it affords almost limitless opportunities for the athletic and drama departments. It also enables the school to hold all its programs at the school and meet federal requirements for equal facilites for male and female athletes. Right now our sophomores have to practice at the Roy and Roy North Stake gyms. And for the first time well have an auditorium that seats the entire student body, said Griffin. Less than half the size of the new auditorium, the old facility will be shared with nearby Sand Ridge Junior High. A major consideration in designing the addition was that it be functional. It is built next to existing athletic and theater areas so they can be utilized in conjunction with the new building, said Griffin. The traffic pattern is designed so that students do n t have to walk acr ss high maintenance gym floors to reach their classes. Public use was also considered. The floor to ceiling glassed-i- n foyer gives access to both the gym and auditorium with shared public restr oms to avoid expensive duplication. There are even two restrooms with outside entrances, a minor but appreciated feature. A new, small lot in front of the main entrance replaces parking spaces taken by the addition. Wyatt said plans are to expand parking north of the gym and Roy Recreation Complex that would tie into the Sand Ridge Junior High 1 door ticket office stands ready to prevent people from having to wait outside in cold weather. Straight ahead is the 1,845 seat auditorium, a shimmering sea of gold covered theater seats plus a balcony and a control booth. The 29,657 square foot facility has Flemish bond brickwork on the walls to enhance acoustical quality. We checked auditoriums through out the state to see what techniques we should use to ensure good acoustics, said Roy High drama instructor Ronald Jenkins who hopes the planning pays off. Jenkins is especially elated over the increased space. We can do anything we want now. Even Ballet West or the Utah Symphony could perform here. Unlike the old auditorium, the new facility has an extensive series of drops to change scenery during a performance. Behind the stage, roll-u- p doors enable a van to back up and unload large,, heavy sets. The dressing rooms have a touch of Hollywood with mirrored walls edged by bare t. Nestled in the highest reaches of Roy Highs new addition, a small glassed-i- n room offers one of Roys most spectacular mountain views. It will eventually be the control tower for a planned drivers training range and is one of many features that delight visitors touring the facility. As one enters the two story high foyer, it seems more like a city center than a school.

I do try pretty hard, but sometimes my scores are n t very high. I have a teacher who makes us call our scores out ev ery day in class, and I - trade-of- f. -- .s get really This procedure can and often does cause a sad chain reaction. A sensitive child may begin to act callous, nonchalant andor misbehave to save face" in front f classmates. Children lost or far behind do not expect to do any better next time, so they often begin to warn or brag to classmates - and believe themselves - that they will do badly again. Quite often their prediction comes true, but they can then say, I told you so, and feel s me control over the wrenching embarrassment. Placing children in this situation daily is callous em- barrassed. I tried to ask him not to out, but he still does it every My day. mom has spoken with tdSrt like CONNIE i 5 and unnecessary. SMITH Your teacher cannot fail you unless your grades merit an F Get an appointment with your principal or vice principal (dont waste any more time speaking with the teacher who has paid no attention to requests from yourself or your mother). Your mom does not need to go in with you to talk to the principal, and if you ask him to, the principal will keep your visit in con- having everyone know when I get bad grades. I hate - but a student cant tell a teacher what to do. Can he fail me if I refuse to say my scores out loud? Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed, Any teacher who has students call their scores out in front of the class has the sensitivity of a rhinoceros. It is a horrible prac- tice and I can think of no circumstance under which it could be condoned. Far too many it-- ; - successes. Lake- side Review, 2146 N. Main, Suite 526, Layton, Utah 84041.
