The Pleasant Grove High School I'TSA board honored several students named as Vikings of the Month at the monthly board meeting held last Thursday. Those named include Nina Oscarson, Eric Nelson, Joyce Keel, Mark Harvey, Sheri Dawn Card, Scott Jones, Suzanne Monson and Richard Bickerton. It was announced that the high school's Parents Visiting Day will be Nove. 9 The "Sound of Music" will be presented at the school on Nov. 11, 12, and 13. The public is invited to attend. Dr. Frank Cameron, director of pupil evalua-tion for Alpine School District gave some interesting comments on testing in the district. He said that they use norm reference testing which tests ability on various grade levels and criterion reference testing which only tests on the grade level the child is on. Dr. Cameron noted that beginning with the class of 1985, students will have to pass the competency test in order to graduate. The test is initially given in the eighth grade and the child does not have to retake the test once he has passed it. One of his worries, he said, was that testing might get to be too big a part of the whole. He reported that there are tests for math, lan-guage arts, spelling, etc., but there are no tests for creativity, motivation, social skills and so forth. . Dr. Cameron observ-ed that high school success is the best test of eventual success. He added, that here about 90 percent of the ,students stajj in schook ,. That is CQUjimendable compared to some other parts of the country. At Pleasant Grove High School, 30 percent, of the students are taking seven class periods. Of course, these are usually the better students in the school, Tom Carlile, Pleasant Grove High School Principal, pointed out. The number of girls taking advanced math classes in Utah is lower than the national aver-age, Dr. Cameron said. That is true at Pleasant Grove High School, too, he noted. Dr. Cameron stated that the weak spot in the district seems to be spelling from the eighth grade on up. Prior to that they do well in spelling, he noted. A large number of students in the district take the ACT test, the college entrance test. About 64 percent of the eligible Pleasant Grove High School students took the test last year, according to E. Mark Bezzant, school counselor. The Pleasant Grove High School students average 18.2 on the ACT test. Mr. Bezzant said the school district average is 19.0 and an average grade point average of students tested is 3.4. The national average on the ACT is 18.4 with a3.2GPA,Mr. Bezzant noted. At PGHS the boys average on the ACT is 19.4 while that of the girls is 17.1, Mr. Bezzant added. Fifty percent of the kids in Utah take the test, 70 percent do in Alpine District and 30 percent nationally. Most Pleasant Grove and Alpine District graduates prefer Utah colleges with the order of preference being Brigham Young University, utan Technical College, University of Utah, Utah State University, Snow College, and Dixie. College, the counselor reported. Other than Utah the students prefer Idaho, Hawaii, California, Arizona and New York in that order. ii ..........i - .... : r f ' - ;h " t he- " v t I - , , w I i . 1 .

Senior volunteers needed at Lindon Elementary School One or more senior volunteers are needed to assist the teacher of several special education students who attend Lindon elementary. "These students with behavioral and emotional disorders need a lot of individual attention," said school Principal Eugene Maag. "We do have a teacher and an aide working with the youngsters at present, but a volunteer or two could provide even more individual support for the students." According to teacher, Terri Ogden, there are eight to ten students in the program, each with varying needs and skills. "With so many different levels to deal with," said Ogden, "an individual program is required for each child. In addition, most of these students have very short attention spans which means we have to reinforce their learning activities with constant support." There are no special skills required for donate several hours a week to the program. The services provided might include listening to a child read, helping with basic math, or sitting with a child for emotional support while a general lesson is being given. It is suggested that those who assist with the program have a patient and congenial attitude towards small children. It is also recom-mended that volunteers be of retirement age in order to participate in the district's RSVP program which place retired citizens in volunteer positions in the area's schools. However, anyone wishing to volunteer will be considered.
