They offered to promise that American Fork students would never paint the "G" red again. Pleasant Grove students scoffed at that and said such a promise would not last down through the years. Pleasant Grove leaders made a counter offer and suggested that American Fork put their letters somewhere out west in the Oquirrh Mountains. They said the west side of Utah Lake needed some decoration anyway and those mountains over there do not have any letters on them yet. .HX-XH- - ,;X "jXv--" X K Txx.r', Ml.i 1 . 4 f I - , - - - ... . Historic one-roo- m school in Fairfield will soon ring with children's voices once again. Fairfield one-roo- m school re-ope- ns By BETTY FOOLER Members of Board of Education of Alpine School District, in a unanimous decision, have decided to re-op- a one-roo- school in Fairfield. Board members explained that crowded conditions in the district prompted the action. Parents of students scheduled to attend the Fairfield School will have to provide transportation to the school. They reminded parents that there is a hitching post and a watering trough available if the child rides a horse to school. No bus service will be furnished. The children will be furnished slates and chalk, instead of the stubby pencils students throughout the state are using at the present time. ' Other time-honore- d traditions of a one-roo- school will be in order, such as one teacher to teach the various ages of students. District officials are hoping Faye Dubois, the last teacher to teach at the Fairfield School, will return to the teaching ranks to handle the challenge of a one-roo- school teacher. "If students haven't changed too much, I may be able to teach again. Some teachers are complaining about today's children, but I find them delightful and very in-telligent," she said. DuBois was surprised at the school board's decision. "I never dreamed they'd n the school. It's a wonder it's still standing. There is a propensity to tear down tradition and rebuild with new plastic materials instead of the time-teste- d brick and mortar buildings. If I do take the job, there will be no television in my room. Children need to how to use their imaginations and creativity. Television kind of eliminates the need for those commodities," Dubois said. School board members also said that a pot-bell- y stove would be set up to provide heat for the school. "If we're gonna do it, we may as well go all the way," one board member said. He did suggest, however, that the little outbuilding at the rear of the school be refurbished, explaining that indoor plumbing was almost out of the question. "There are enough Sears and Roebuck catalogues around that could be used. We hope that the students will accept the fact that they may have to go 'out back.' " He explained that in these days of high taxes and short supplies, they may have to cut back on plumbing expenses. "The path is still there. I don't think they'd get lost on the way." Mrs. Dubois has stayed out of the teaching ranks since her retirement and subsequent marriage, but is optimistic about returning to work. "My kids are married, and my grandchildren aren't around, so I may as well get back in the har-ness." (No pun intended.) School officials have not decided on dividing lines or location requirements of students who will attend the school. "We're afraid we'll have to limit enrollment to the Lehi-Ced- Valley area. They will pioneer this teaching in the eighties experiment, but then, they're used to being Pioneers," a board member said. Citizens of this small west Utah County community, are anxious to renew their ties with the one-roo-school. "We've got Camp Floyd, the Stagecoach Inn, and if they n the school, we'll become a unique tourist attraction. Who knows? They may even strike gold in Mercur again, it would be like old times here," said Myrtle Erickson, Fairfield native. ity crew finds lid in debris basin f MRCELLA TALKER ant Grove City Water traent personnel found several "nuggets of what is believed to . ;jore in the Battlecreek Debris f thOe they were doing routine aance work last week. Preparing the basin for possible runoff the crews were .iDgthe drain in the basin when the men picked up the ore. nuggets were sent to a BYU .gist for confirmation of the atoftheore. declined to give an estimate to due of the ore but said that k in the six figures have been jested. would not confirm the number size of the nuggets found but it is ved to have been about 25 hing a couple of ounces each, layor David Holdaway was i if the city would keep the ets, if they are found to be gold on display in the museum, put in a vault, or sell them. He ited to make a hasty decision rt consulting with the city but said that in his opinion gold should be sold. The ds could be used to help finance some of the projects the city now has sitting on a back burner, he ventured. The results of the analysis of the ore should be completed in the next few days. City officials declined to name the professor who was in charge of the assay. Mayor Holdaway promised to hold a press conference as soon as the results are in but he said he was hoping to avoid a goldrush to Pleasant Grove like what happened in California in 1849. Names of members of the Water Department staff who found the nuggets are being withheld to give them some privacy and to keep them from being "hounded" by gold prospectors, the mayor said. A guard has been placed at the basin to keep fortune seekers away and to protect the city's interest in the find. The city crews also warned people that snow slides further up the canyon would prevent gold hunters from trying to find the source of the gold. They cautioned interested citizens from venturing up the canyon. l I I I nOT I I 66'H I 66 9A0J9 'Id ''S 002 "M S82 --JU- 00 F$ 00 U 66 9e sd 66xh 867i uinnTin fill sdiurj dini ssejg sLnij$-- i s,u9jpii3 spjejoai s(uajpimo dbllUljdJK jUliujoiy yJJ 86S6 1i6pufslJdMa 66 96$ fida ssB636JS9Iqir3z3oa9i OS U 6I$ 33tfldl3)ldVW 3H..1.I1 JK !d-- ll w.-Z- I SJ91UU1BH ng-- 668 O 66 9 JjW5V ' 1 S8Z1S PUB SJOjOO P8L10SSV sjojoo P9JJ0SSV i ij J I S00 III lB9p KdajS o spucis lueid ssejg 9NIH1013 'f 'H I I UAVOQ llN" SSVU& 9 f 66 Ssmm Y 4 I 1 'MiJ3iI!Hff I 44m . . . ,66 9r&y fPlK UVJ 8upiBd 8o; J0HB3J9 M-cT- K"-- Wn oOS 881$ 9rO"I$ Wro pm mm&w fY 00'r39a 66Zr33y H ,9 00'fa X flumasionbJni pom M J03 S93uBl:) sjoiod 3i m;im pio3 jo j9a!S WdfiPooH M0aA3 saoe,oaNyeaHPannd ( H iaiuooi9M sjapjo nod)2i J S9I0U3IM 931 1 0ZXU3HAON,aniV3 J T... - TO I IHII17 Hf. 5 isji8Mluoiqsaj puj8ueais rVV) - NOIXOVU1X3 i3t AUVIOU "" -- t V--V V w w --i 5 'j8m6uq aq II QOl am auop ff--- J auoH c&p V ! sjsuean ajniiujnj I ss.'ssiiS&y wmui 9pBuipuBH .(Svrttfjtf u'u ii I niip larijPI M0nUIB)l 1 AiNvaavMano ij1mu ?"!MOdS3Jd i ' L :sjnoH ft0 ' (W c g f Ti2i 3AVS Z9$ T C bs oze 01 dn) 1 JlV3 N "iJOlseiMPaia W h v 1 0o0e$ Z I ( bs02t-oidn- ) o0qZ 3AVS 8e$, vO Jsnuiof V'FWSVrX zil oo9UBU,s j ut3Avsm-6a- ON1NV3HO muWcfJ ?"
