Forum on March 1st in the Snow College Auditorium. Elder Tuttle was born March 2, 1919 in Manti, Utah to Albert Mervin and Clauice Monetz Tuttle. In his high school days he excelled as an orator and debater, besides being student body president of Manti High School. He was a member of a quartet and the high school chorus. After high school, he attended Snow College where he had leads in plays and operettas. After serving an LDS mission in the Northern States, Elder Elder Tuttle served two and years in the Marines as a line officer in the Pacific theater. He was the one who returned to the ship to obtain the American flag that was to be raised on Mt. Suirbachi on Iwo Jima. After his service to his country1, Elder Tuttle became a Seminary teacher. He continued with his formal education and received his Masters degree in education at Stanford University. He then became the director of the Institute of Religion at Reno, Nevada. In 1953 he was selected as supervisor over all the Seminaries and Institutes of the LDS Church schools. Elder Tuttle was called to the First Council of Seventy on April 10, 1958, a position which he now holds. In 1960 he was appointed president of the South American missions.

It is being printed in an effort to give both sides an opportunity to explain their position.) The new plan for consolidation of the districts schools would combine two high schools, two junior highs and a pair of elementary schools. Abandonment of any school may be an inevitable casualty in the newly popularized process of consolidation. We have great respect for the learned ability of school administrators and elected public servants with backgrounds in serving the public schools, but we submit that the proposal to abandon the Gunnison Valley High or Junior High, Manti Elementary or the Manti High School as well as the Ephraim Junior High is hastily conceived. The benefits now accruing to the students of the schools would be lost forever. Let us examine the proposed abandonment of any school against the following considera-- . tions, each of which is promoted by the situation of the present school facilities. PART I THE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE OF THE STUDENT. . PART II THE EMOTIONAL ryp The auditorium objectives. We have observed the results of prior consolidation and have concluded that promised and even guaranteed expansion of student opportunity to more and varied classes has been wishful thinking.
