Isnt it delightful to see high school students who care so much about their school that they want to remember it? Isnt it delightful to know that people who graduated from Davis High School still believe it to be the best school in the area? And are still full of enough school spirit to want to add the big D on the mountain and are willing to raise the money to pay for it?

If the students of Davis High had applied during the past 50 years for a school symbol to be placed on the mountain, they would have received almost automatic permission. During much of the last 50 years, Davis was the only high school in the coun- that were had painting and fixing the letters or just climbing up to them. If one school in the area were to have the mountainside letter it should be Davis. It was here long before the others were even thought of. Can we say no to Davis and allow the to keep theirs? So many times we get sidetrack ty. Its boundaries stretched all the way to Salt Lake. If they had applied to the school board in the 1920s there would be a D on the mountain.

Mrs. Kimber had been an English teacher at the school since it opened more than 20 years ago. Through the years she has touched the lives of thousands of students and her influence was great. She was one of the most loved teachers at LHS, so respected that she was named Most Influential Teacher at Layton High last year. That honor was not bestowed by members of the faculty or oth- er academic leaders in the community, although she was highly respected in those circles, but by the students she had taught. Weber State College polled four years of Layton High graduates and Mrs. Kimbers name constantly came up as the teacher who had most influenced the lives of those students. Reporters notes 'Its no wonder. She had a tremendous love for learning. She expected it of herself, and she instilled that love in her students. She was raised in Idaho and received her bachelors degree from Brigham Young University. She always wanted to continue her education and later she earned her masters degree from the University of Utah. Mrs. Kimber taught for a time earlier m her life but stopped for 13 years to teach her own children when they were young. When she started to teach again she helped initiate learning at Layton High the year the school opened. Most often, when she wasnt teaching, she was learning. Last year she spent the summer studying at Marymount University in Virginia. The summer before that she was at Oxford University in England. The previous summer she spent at the Shakespeare Institute. She had studied in Paris through the New York University and in Jordan. The list goes on and on. She said learning new ideas helped teaching to be exciting, and she loved to teach teens. methods, enthusiasm and dedication. To be able to instill a sense of h in and is a rare talent. young people When it is coupled with the ability to teach information in a way that a student can understand, it is priceless. Add to that the capability of helping a teen learn to think, to reason, and to come to intelligent conclusions of their own, and you have LuRae Kim- When she first considered teaching, she wasnt sure it was what she wanted in a career. Then she spent some time working with some young people in situation and knew she wanted to spend her life sharing her knowledge and love for learning with youth. anon-teachi- ce ber. And they could feel that desire in her. Many of the students polled at Layton commented about her ability to accept their ideas, and to encourage them to think for themselves. They spoke of her respect for them and of their respect for her. She will be missed by her stu- dents, the staff and faculty, by those she called friend. But her influence will continue on in the thousands of lives of those she taught. She was, indeed, a superior techer, a superior person. M SUPEBBOWL f . O 'Mi..

What of all the great times Lakeside letter policy outlined rrr i ed away from the real issue. Preserving the mountainside is of importance to everyone. But the big D will not tear up the counvehid try as much as the cles or even the natural process of erosion. Putting a big D is a symbol of the caring school that Davis is. In many areas of the state, high school is left behind at graduation but not to Davis High graduates. They continue to follow the teams, attend the games and productions. Davis High graduates are proud of their school and even if they cant get the Davis Dart D on the mountainside this time, they will be back again. ; As it says in the school song: Dear old Davis High School, well fight for you. ished. The great letters on the mountainsides around the area are unique to this part of the country. Our barren hills provide a perfect backdrop for the school letters.
