Main, American Fork teview-Wednesda- y, April 23, 1986 -- Page 6 School vandalism problems aired at PTA Council Meeting By KALYN SECRETAN Vandalism costs in the Alpine School District are equal to the salary of two teachers, reported Harold Jacklin at the April PTA Council meeting. This past year $35,000 was used to repair vandalism damage and abuse. It seems to run in cycles and normally the costs range from $10,000 to $15,000. If parents and PTA can assist in the educational process of teaching respect for school property van-dalism funds can be used in other " areas. Several thousand dollars worth, of damage occured in two different schools when boys sneaked from their homes at two or three in the morning and vandalized the school. Jacklin stated parents should be aware of the where-a-bout- s of their children during the night time hours. . The biggest area of vandalism occurs in the rest rooms. The schools are aware accidents will happen and sometimes win-dows are broken while playing will balls but deliberate pranks aiie costly. In other council business, PTA leaders were given a list for a member survey. Parents will be ask such questions, "What are you willing to go without?" Options given are Drivers Education or gifted student programs, orchestra or band, kindergarten, busing, adult education, athletic 'programs, counseling or vocational programs. A statement of policy was presented from the State PTA. Members were informed in the event of a teacher walk-ou- t, the PTA must remain neutral. PTA members may be called to join the picket lines or sub for teachers. The PTA will do neither of the above, they will not take sides in the event of a walk-ou- t. They will actively instigate town' meetings to promote awareness, and actively instigate town meetings in an attempt to keep the lines of communication open. A conference on drug and sub-stance abuse was announced at BYU on May 7 from p.m. The conference will be sponsored by the "Gathering Place" and BYU. ; A seminar for PTA leaders is planned for a three hour period. Seminars are also scheduled for athletic coaches and ecclesiastical leaders. The State PTA convention will be held May 3 at the Salt Palace in' Salt Lake City. v- r t air11"."

Many a youngster could hardly rait until he was old enough to ,articipate in the elegant ball. 7 Y Lila Judd remembers the special events and shares a picture taken in 1948, the last year queens were honored at the Stake Gold and Green Ball. A traditional LDS event, each ward selected a queen to reign over the ward dance and the ward took turns having their queen serve as the stake queen. It was the Third Ward's turn in 1948 and Helen Judd served as the stake queen. Ward queens were selected in various ways, but at that time the young woman with the highest attendance record was selected for the honor. Each ward taught dances to the youth for the special floor show. It was an honor to dance in the Gold and Green Ball. Even if you had to be coaxed or bribed to attend the dance practice, it was great to be in the floor show when the event finally arrived. With the wards all participating in the stake dance, the floor show special dances and the young people who have leaders that teach them to dance are very fortunate. A special dance was recently held in the Third Ward Church to the theme of "Pultin' on the Ritz." Carters from Lehi fur-nished the music and many couples who have not danced for years took advantage of dancing to old-tim-favorites. Younger couples had fun viewing how dancing used to be, but the floor was filled and music and dance flowed through a church who has seen so many dances throughout the history of Pleasant Grove. 1 I llu )t I ' 'lr ii A V: 't LI i11 Ipp-- was magnified and a big crowd was always present to view the final event. It was a time to wear a gorgeous formal. The; guys wore a suit,TtA , hair-d- o had to be just perfect and some lucky young gals received corsages. As Gold and' Green Balls con-tinued, queens were eliminated, many felt all the young women were special and the girls graduating from MIA were honored at the dance. While some wards carry on the tradition of holding an annual Gold and Green Ball, it has become an event of the past for other wards. Many young people still have the opportunity of learning how to dance because they have spent time at dance practice in order to par-ticipate in the floor show. Lila remembers attending the Gold and Green Ball held at Saltair. People came from all over and rode the train from the center of Salt Lake out to Saltair for the spectacular dance. Many people had the opportunity after learning the dance for the Gold and Green Balls to participate in the Dance Festival held annually at the University of Utah stadium in Salt Lake City. Young people traveled from wards and stakes throughout the church to join in the gigantic festival. The festivals have discontinued and dancing does not seem as popular as it was in the past. The original Timpanogos Stake has now grown to be just one of the five stakes in the Pleasant Grove area. Some wards are continuing with the Gold and Green Balls or other Walter and Donna Brock enjoy dancing at the recent Third Ward Dinner Dance, "Puttin' on the Ritz." The building has seen many a dance during the past 75 years.
