Show 4C Lakeside Review, Wednesday, March 25, 1987 School board keeps $500 yoiform limit I LYNDIA GRAHAM Review correspondent The Davis School FARMINGTON Board will pass at least one of its guidelines for drill teams on to the Utah High School Activities Association and hope it will be adopted statewide. Board member Louenda Downs said the Davis County limit of $500 for each drill team member to buy costumes would be suggested to the state. Board Chairman Sheryl Allen said the amount had been set in the county after ; studying the issue and finding that most drill teams feel $500 is the least each girl can spend for costumes and props if the team hopes to do well in competitions. Over the past few months, the board has looked at whether to decrease the amount drill teams can spend on uni- forms. Board member Dr. Raymond Briscoe said he felt the current $500 limit is too high and asked the board to support a motion that a lower amount be gested to the state. r sug- He suggested a $400 limit and said many groups have lost sight of activities for activitys sake, and put to much stress on activities for competitions be respectful of the flag and what it stands for, she said, and costumes won) in flag ceremonies should be modest.' - port.

But Paula doesnt hear the tardy bells, fir the students clamoring through the halls, or even the sound of her teachers voices as they present their class materials. Paula is deaf. The enthusiastic junior hasnt let her hearing impairment stop her desire for learning, however, and each morning she heads out for high school like hundreds of her Layton High classmates. Like her classmates Paula brings along her notebooks, textbooks, and pencils but she has an additional aid to help her with classroom study, an interpreter who uses sign language to translate the teachers and students comments into a learning experience for Paula. Connie Marsell meets Paula each morning at the school about 7 a.m. and the two plan the day. If Paula needs help with a particular class, Connie tutors her. If not, the minutes are spent visiting and getting ready for class. Paula takes two history classes, one physiology class, and English class, a science class, and word processing, all through her interpreter. Paula loves to learn. Paula began school when she was just 2 years old. Her mother contracted rubella during preg nancy and by the time Paula was 18 months old it was discovered she was deaf. Six months later she began school to learn how to communicate. Her mother, Phyllis, learned to sign along with her daughter and is now a certified interperter for the deaf. Her father, Donald, and her brother Donald, also sign to communicate with Paula. The Micolicheck family lived in Alaska during Paulas years and Paula attended public schools where special classes were ofgrade-scho- fered. In Alaska sign language is offered as a second language choice for all students. When her father, who works for Western Airlines, was trans-fere- d to Utah Paula began to attend the deaf school in Ogden. At that time we felt she needed association with deaf peers, her mother said. But as Paula grew older her possibilities for learning at that school became limited and a few months ago Paula made the decision to mainstream into the public school system. I like the public schools, she signed through Connie. Theres lots to learn here. Lots of classes. Purposes of the convention ' ' ? i.
