Dr. Cox said the district lost 61 students in one week through move-out- s. 'When I questioned this, I found one family moved and took six children with them,' he said. It doesn't take long to lose that many students when a few large families move, he noted. Most of the student loss was in the southwest Orem area, he noted. Dr. Cox also noted registration in the various schools showed that in some cases families had moved from one area of the district to another, affecting enrollment in the schools involved.

Bases poured for stadium lights Crews from Wayne Bone and Sons Electric of Layton drilled the holes last week and poured the cement bases for the stadium lights which will be installed at the Viking Football Field at Pleasant Grove High School. The workers stayed until after 9 ) p m. Thursday drilling the holes and putting in the cement. One hole collapsed due to the type of soil and had to be drilled again. Each hole is about 13 feet deep and it took about six yards of cement to fill the hole. When the cement is set the lights will be put in place. The poles for the lights are 70 feet tall but the lights themselves will be set at 60 feet above the ground. Pleasant Grove High School of-ficials expressed their appreciation to Dan Fugal, school board member, for his assistance in being able to get the cement early. They thanked Geneva Rock Products for also being so accommodating. Principal Tom Carlile said that it was still unknown if the lights would be in place so that Friday's Homecoming game could be played in the evening. He urged fans to watch the marquee for a notice of change of time of the game. Right now the time is slated for the usual 5 p.m. Funds to install the lights have been collected by the PGHS Com-mittee For Excellence. They are still asking that donations toward the project be taken to Pleasant Grove High School or Grant Fugal, chairman of the committee.
