Show Review - Wednesday, February 6, 1985 - Page 7 Vikings beat Lions ; tied for first place Senior Scott Mosher had a game high 21 points to pace Pleasant Grove to a 62-5- 0 win over Payson Friday. That win, coupled with Carbon's upset of Springyille, threw the Region 8 basketball race into a three-wa- y tie for first place between PG, Carbon and Springville. With PG traveling to Price to play Carbon Friday, that tie will only last a week. It was in Price that Carbon came from behind in the fourth quarter to outscore Springville 28-1- 3 to hand the Red Devils their first league loss. At Payson, PG broke open a tight contest in the second period by outscoring the home team Lions 18-1- That scoring spurt gave the Vikes a 31-2- 0 halftime lead and spelled the difference in the game. Playing without their leading scorer, Sterling Haskell, who was out with a broken hand, Payson kept mounting scoring runs and refused to fold against the com posed Vikes. In the final foul-fille- d eight minutes of play, Viking foul shooting preserved the win. The junior tandem of Greg Bahr and Kerry VanDyke had 12 points each, including 4 of 5 from the line. Mosher hit 7 of 12 free throws and Brad Kitchen was 5 of 6 at the charity stripe. The winner of the PG at Carbon game Friday will have the inside track in the Region 8 title race. Carbon surprised nearly everyone by handing Springville their first loss. Friday's game is the last of the first half of league play. Coach Alan Bahr's junior varsity won 62-4- 6 over Payson. Mark Bronson scored 20 points to top all scorers with Brent Larsen adding 14 to the Viking cause. The jayvee led throughout the game. In the sophomore game, Bruce Bushnell's squad remained un-defeated in league play with a close win over the Lions. .... m r'.yrpj yr; 'i ym imiiumw i A r Dr r ,rr rs r 0 hf 1 1 National Honor Society: Back, Paul Mecham, Jason Shelton, Suzanne Monson, Kim Johnson, Nathashia Maxfield, Angie Bone, Laurie Ostler, Susan Liddle, Lisa Oscarson, Jodi Bethers, Diane Bezzant, Benka Kofford, Mary Oliphant, Robyn Christensen, Pam Johanson, Margo Neilson, Denise Dickerson, Mrs. Marilyn Giles (advisor).

National Honor Society encourages scholars refreshments and time for asking individual questions concerning college. Ms. Rowley did such a great job at the scholarship meeting, that she was invited to speak before the members and their parents at the annual induction meeting. She delivered a speech on success that pertains to all aspects of life. Membership cards were then presented to each of the members and a group picture was then taken. Congratulations to the members of the National Honor Society for excellent scholarship, leadership, citizenship and service in the home, school and community. By WADE JENSE Character, scholarship, leaders-hip, citizenship, and service are cardinal qualities worthy of development in the youth of our school. The Pleasant Grove High School Viking Charter of the National Honor Society currently has a membership of 47 students who maintain the fore-mention-qualities. These students are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 and to keep their reputation of outstanding character. This year the National Honor Society officers are: Almy Hollis, president; Denise Dickerson, vice president; Diane Bezzant, secretary; Wade Jense, treasurer; James Oliphant, membership; and Marilyn Giles, faculty advisor. The presidency schedules a meeting for each month. The purpose and goal of these meetings is to instill unity and friendship among the members and to help the students continue in their success in academic excellence. The year started with the annual banana split meeting. During the meeting, each of the members introduced themselves and gave a short autobiography. The members were then asked for any suggestions on what subjects they would like to have included in their meetings. Of course, banana splits ,were provided during this "brain-racking- " ex-perience. Mrs. Aleene Rowley, one of the counselors at Pleasant Grove High, was the guest speaker at the second meeting. This meeting was primarily directed for the benefit of the seniors. The topic was scholarships and financial aid for college. During the meeting, Mrs. Rowley revealed opportunities available to academically inclined students. Dos and don'ts on filling out ap-plications and when and where to submit applications were discussed. The meeting was closed with light Shellie Eggett named as national award winner ; - . ; " ; j y f - The United States Achievement Academy announced today that Shellie Eggett, daughter of J. A. and Bernie Eggett, Pleasant Grove, has been named a 1984 United States National Award winner in the leadership field. This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes less than 10 per cent of all American high school students. Shellie, a student at Pleasant Grove high School, was nominated for this National Award by E. Mark Bezzant, counselor at the school. Shellie will appear in the United States Achievement Academy of-ficial Yearbook, published nationally. "Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before in American history. Cer-tainly United States Achievement Academy award winners should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, Executive Director of the United States Achievement Academy. The Academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors or other school sponsors and upon the Standards of Selection set forth by the Academy. The criteria for selection are a Shellie Eggett student's academic performnce, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, en-thusiasm, motivation to learn and improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability, and recommendation from a teacher or director. Shellie is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dean Thornock of Grandview, Wash., and Wanda Eggett of Bountiful, Utah. Local water systems fail state tests The Utah Department of Health is releasing its quarterly report on which water systems throughout the state have failed to notify their customers that the system did not meet state and federal drinking water standards during the third quarter of 1984 ). This is the fourth in a series of similar notices since March 7, 1984. Locally, Silver Lake Summer Homes failed to sample for bac-terial quality and the Tibbie Park Homeowners system had ic quality which exceded standards. "Each of the systems listed was sent a letter following the third quarter of 1984. The letter informed them that their system appeared to be in j" said Gayle Smith, director, Bureau of Public Water Supplies. "The systems then have 30 days to either correct their deficiency or notify their customers of tne violation and why it occurred," he added. The managers of this quarter's systems have neither contacted the Department of Health nor notified their customers. "We're pleased with the public's acceptance of our efforts to assure that all public drinking water systems meet safe drinking water standards. While the majority of Utah's 1200 water systems meet water quality and construction requirements, there continue to be some systems where we still haven't been able to convince the management of the importance of complying with standards," said Mr. Smith. The public is urged to contact the management of their water system if it is listed and find out why they weren't notified and what is bing done to correct the problem. V S a - M y ; Basketball players, L-- Heather Johnson, Jeff Swenson and Erik Jacklin were winners in their age groups in the Pepsi Hot Shot tournament held in Pleasant Grove recently. Three win in Hot Shot try by MARY COONS Over 150 young people from Pleasant Grove and Lindon part-icipated in the annual Hot Shot Contest this past week, and when the dust settled, three of them walked away with the city shoot-ou- t title. Heather Johnsen, won with a three round total of 97 points and represented the girls. Jeff Swensen represented the 13 to 15 year old boys with a city high of 132 points. Erik Jacklin beat all of the other 9 to 12 year olds with 98 points. They received a and a basketball in the competition sponsored by Pepsi. In the Area Shoot-ou- t in the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Eric again took first place in his age division, with a three-roun- d total of 109 points. Eric beat out 19 other contenders from all over the state. Heather was also to be congratulated with a three round total of 90 points, taking second, place in her age division. Jeff had an off day, not scoring as well as he did in the city shoot out. He did, however, enjoy going up to the Salt Palace for the competition. Eric and Heather will go up for a final shoot-ou- t on February 13 at 4 p.m. at the Salt Palace, just prior to the Jazz game that evening. We would like to encourage anyone that would like to go to cheer the kids on to go up to the Salt Palace that evening. It's unusual for a small com-munity to take that high in a state-wide competition, consistently, and Pleasant Grove Recreation, and their basketball programs should be commended for their fine skills training of these young people.

Mortensen, Ph.D. Anxiety Anxiety is a feeling of dread and apprehension. It is a state of tension and worry. Anxiety is a pervasive uneasiness which does not seem to stem from any particular threat or danger. Everyone is subject to some anxiety. Certain individuals, however, develop persistent, painful feelings of anxiety which cause much discomfort. Some of the causes of anxiety are faulty parental attitudes and disturbing experiences in childhood. The anxious person may have been subjected to excessive criticism or have been given standards so high and rigid that he could not attain them. Often, the anxious person has failed to learn the skills and com-petencies necessary for coping with the problems of living. The psychological pain caused by anxiety is a great cost to happiness and effectiveness. Psychological treatment can help to considerably reduce anxiety. The treatment approach selected usually depends on the particular personality characteristics and background of the patient. Generally, psychological treatment involves helping these anxious individuals achieve greater knowledge and understanding of themselves and their problems. A more realistic picture of themselves, a satisfying pattern of values, realistic ex-pectations, as well as learning more effective coping behaviors are some of the treatment goals.
