"I just thought it was really fun to learn about budgeting," she said. Long was surprised at how much it really costs to go out for dinner. "I have a large family and I guess I always thought it only cost about $5 a person, but even that really adds up," said Long. To cap off activities for the unit, the students went on a field trip to the Hill Air Force Base branch of First Security Bank. Luther said First Security has started a partnership with the school, providing tutoring volun 546-725- 4. teers and $5 donations toward a new school marquee for every student savings account opened. During the field trip, students were given play checkbooks, informative comic books, and key chains. The highlight for most of the students was a peek into the vault. It was cool to see all the safety deposit boxes," said Brown. If I had one I would keep my birth cer- tificate and some other important papers that 1 dont want to lose in it. Students were also impressed with large boxes of change. One kind of box reportedly held $500 worth of quarters. The trip to the bank was definitely the best part," said Long.

Combining with at least Davis County would mean court could be held two or three days a week.

We are trying to negotiate with Davis County to take care of our three employees. Davis County employees are covered by a merit system. Farmington employees do not come under the same system, an area of concern for Teri Ruth, chief clerk for the Farmington Court. Wc would have to apply for positions just like anyone else.

"Il wa always mec to have a little outing, becauve il was a whole lot better than anything going on around the house, and besides that, it gave me some peace and Quiet." Mtthele majored in English and communications and came away with an impressive academic record which included being selected as Siudent Teacher of the Year her senior year. She was one or eight students invited to participate in the Hemingway Program during its pilot year at Weber. "This really was exciting." Michete said. "It was an c based teacher training technique and is now in its sixth year." For Michele, this program in particular has come full circle, as shell soon be assisting another student teacher in her current position as an English and journalism instructor at Trenton! High School. During her senior year. Darren took a job in sales at R.C. Willeys in Syracuse. This proved lo be ihc exact, routing kind of schedule that woutJ enable Michclc lo accept a teaching position at Roy High School, directly out of college. "Its been nearly perfect." Michclc said. Her schedule has not only included teaching, but acting as the advisor for the drills teams; first at Roy and now at Fremont High, where she is also the advisor for the school newspaper. Were so busy that all of this must sound so crazy," Michclc says with laugh. And yet, its obvious thatthc care and nurturing of their seven children is far and above their main priority. "I could never, never do any of this without Darren," she said. He helps with the housework: vacuums, cleans, laundry, everything. And over the years, hes even learned to do the girls hair better than I can." Their sense the humor and ability to organize is a necessary ingredient in what has made it all work. "I have this calendar on the fridge and it tells me everything .... whos got to be where and when and whos got to get them there," Michclc said. This is no small calendar since the three oldest boys all play basketball. Jed is on four teams himself and the two oldest girls are taking dance. Our second son has taken karate, our oldest daughter started piano and two of the boys recently informed us that they would like to start playing hockey." In addition, evenings are also dedicated to homework and with those kinds of numbers, the assignments come in multiples. The worst time ever," Michele recalled, was last year and we had just gotten back from California with the national drill team competition and all four of our oldest children each had a major report due on either a country. on-tit- 'inn TEXACO TEXACO Forbush said.
