Show 1995 Friday, Juna Photo of The Week Lagoon - Utah by Pam Robbins Having spent the day at LaGoon recently, it was fun to learn a little about it In the late 1800's, several resorts sprang up along the shores of the Great Salt Lake, with one being the Lagoon, Lake Park. Opening on July 15, 1886, it was "one of the most attractive watering places in the West", featuring an original open-a- ir dancing pavilion with deli- cate carved lattice work. Summer cottages could be rented by the week or month, and patrons paying $.50 could enjoy swimming, danc- ing, boating, a rollerskating, target shooting and merry-go-roun- d, bowling alleys - with an additional fifty-cen- ts paying for a dinner in the resorts restaurant. After the season's first effort, over 53,000 guests had been to Lake Park. In 1893, with the Lake full-cour- se Early 1930s: The highly superior North Summit High School Band, Coalville. Band instructor, Apollo Hansen; Drum. Major, Preston Pace, and Majorette Bette Mae Toone. "North Summit High School was a "C" grade according to population for music contests. It took so many awards that in order to equalize it was raised to an "A" classification, which placed it competing with the large high schools such as Salt Lake's East or West High Schools. Many joined the band in order to 'go placrr. One time the band played at Ecker Hill ski jump, end saw Sevier and Alph Eggin break the world record there of 365. There were trips to Price, Salt Lake and Logan. Professor McAllister from Joliet, IL, was at Logan one year, and the players were introduced, to the Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, cannon and all. Some band members continued on with the music, and I am sure that it has enhanced their lives as adults. I played clarinet with the Paradise Symphony, the West Valley Symphony, and the San Mateo Community Orchestra the last 30 years, and am now playing the tenor saxophone with the local Elks jClub Concert Band. It all started with Apollo Hansen and North Summit High School. I am sure there are still people around that were in this picture."
