Becky Jarman, choral director at Davis High, is the organizer of the project. I wanted to teach the students classical music and get them excited about it. This is one way to do it, she said. I never have to encourage them to learn the songs when I say that we will be using them for our feast. The Madrigals are the senior singing group at Davis High School. During the Elizabethan era Madrigals were the pop singers of the day. If the students know that the fa la las are really words that the young people of that time would not say in front of their parents, their minds think up all sorts of things and they learn to sing the very different music, Ms. Jarman said. By studying the culture of that time they can understand the music better and enjoy singing it. -- A Life-savin- Scott padded his fathers bro- then rushed in to call the medics.

I have worked with the scouts at the First Presbyterian Church in Salt Lake where Scott is part of the troop.

Scotts father, James Ralph, was hit when his car slipped out of gear in the driveway of their Farmington home. Because of Scott's quick thinki ing, the injuries his father suffered were much less severe than they could have been. And his father should know. Dr. James Ralph is on the staff at St. Benedicts Hospital in Ogden. I knew my leg was broken and bleeding, said Ralph. When the accident occured, Scott could not dislodge his fathers leg from the car so he brought blankets to keep him warm until an ambulance Cory Leonard, a member of the group, said We have been working on the music since before Christmas.

We even build a second story for the musicians, he said. The decorating cannot even begin until after lunch at p.m. the day of the feast. To have the room transformed into an Elizabethan dining hall and all the students dressed in costumes takes a miracle. This year a full set of armor that is being made by the costume department at the University of Utah will be part of the decorations. Many other students and parents become involved with the cooking, decoration, and other preparations. All the food is served with a special ceremony by serving wenches. After each course the group will entertain. They always sing the theme song Pastime with good company written by Henry VIII to begin and end the evening.

They will be the center of all the action and all the participants will be in full costumes. I had seen the feasts done in this country and in England and it was always my dream, Ms. Jarman said. But she needed costumes. So, when the drapes were replaced on the school stage six years ago, she asked if she could have them. The Madrigals that year helped her take them apart and sew them into costumes. We found other stages in the district that were getting new grand drapes and we asked for their old drapes, too. Add a little trim and voila, costumes, said Ms. Jarman. The costumes are valued at over $10,000 and the Madrigals have only put $500 into them, trophy went to a pair of doggers, Jenny Nelson and Shelley Harm-e- r.

Its just another facet to try and help the kids help themselves, said Mrs. Byram. Most of the kids know their own phone numbers or how to call grandmas, but most of them have no experience with a pay dialing, phone or long-distan- said Mrs. Byram. If a child was ever abducted, he may realize that if he can get to a phone he could call home, she said. A film shown to the children concerning abduction, showed children who were lost taking money from their pockets to make a phone call or taking out a pencil and paper and writing down the license plate number of an abductor. But children dont always carry money and they dont carry a pencil and paper, she said. Staff photo by Bruce Bennett Learning to use a pay telephone, Jay Thor- - home.
