Ellis, former resident of Pleasant Grove, has donated $1,000 to the library construction fund, according to Drucilla Smith, city librarian. Mr. Ellis, 83, now lives in a retirement home in Orem. He was born and raised in Pleasant Grove. He donated the money to the library because it seemed like a good project, it made him feel good to do it, and he hopes that others will follow suit. Mr. Ellis said that he knows there are people in Pleasant Grove who have the finances to make a similar donation to the library and en-couraged them to do so. The city council has announced that it will be conducting a campaign for the library. A donation of $1,000 in memory of someone living or deceased, will make possible a picture of the person and a short biography on display. Other donations have been labeled Benefactor, $500; Donor, $100; Friend, $50; or any other amount will be highly appreciated, also. Mr. Ellis sent a letter to the library along with his check. In the letter he said, "I hope this little token will be beneficial to the people of Pleasant Grove and help them, both old and young." He came back to Utah and worked at Mercur and later bought a farm in Orem. He raised fruit and vegetables and had a fruit stand. He helped in the construction of Geneva Steel Plant for two years when he worked for the Chicago Asbestos Supply doing insulation work. He also worked as an in-sulation mechanic in Salt Lake City for 15 years, mostly in the winter. He suffers now from lung disease as a result of working with the asbestos insulation for so long. When his arthritis made it im-possible for him to continue working on his farm, he sold the property about three years ago. Since his hobby is reading, he says he does a lot of it, it is no wonder he made such a substantial con-tribution to the library. Mr. Ellis said he is the only child of Will and Anna Christiansen Ellis who is still living. There were nine children in the family and four of them died in one week in 1905 of diptheria. He was one year old at the time and did not get the disease. Other members of the family did get it but recovered. He said that since he has no children to give his money to, he felt that the Pleasant Grove Library was a good place for it to go and it made him feel very good to donate it. Wayne T. Ellis He graduated from Pleasant Grove High School in 1923. He also graduated from Utah State University (Utah State Agricultural College) with a double major in agronomy and botany in 1931. He was married to Susa Downs of Orem after he graduated from college. She died in 1978. They had no children. He first worked in Idaho in the shoe business. He did that for seven years until the company was sold. Alpine Board mulls revision of graduation requirements failing grade of one unit allowed per year, and on the basis of seven classes in the ninth grade and eight classes in grades 10-1- 2. Revisions in the district's graduation requirements were discussed at the May business meeting of the Alpine School District board of education. Kolene Granger, assistant superintendent of instruction, said the revisions, if approved, will bring the district in compliance with state requirements. Listing the proposed changes, Ms. Granger said the state board of education requires 1.5 units of arts. Currently the Alpine District requires students to complete 1.0 unit of arts and 1.0 unit of second year foreign language or arts. She recommended the board change that requirement to 1.5 units of arts and 0.5 units of arts or second year foreign language. She also recommended that the board require students take 0.5 units of computer studies in the 7th or 8th grade, and eliminate the requirement they take an additional 0.5 units in high school. In addition, Ms. Granger recom-mended the board approve a change in the world cultural geography requirement. She said the schools have had a world geography course and a world civilization course. Those were combined to a 1.0 credit course. The new recommendation is that the board require 1.0 unit of world studies to be taken in the ninth grade. These changes would give the district 17 required units (.5 units less than previously) plus 10.0 elec-tive units for a total of 27 units of credit to graduate. Ms. Granger said this is based on 32 units of credit available with a District ups student fees for upper grades Students attending secondary schools in the Alpine School District will pay slightly more for some classes when they begin school this fall. The schedule adopted by members of the board of education at their May business meeting raised the Driver's Education fee by $3 to $15; the music instrument rental fee by $5 to $40; and ninth grade textbook rental by $8 to $30. Other hikes are in the Assisted Study program; and in the registration for participation in the Clear Creek Summer Camp which is up $5 to $60. The fee schedule has been discussed by board members for the past several weeks. The fee policy was made necessary because of a legislative mandate which calls for school districts to publish all fees and a waiver process on a yearly basis. According to the policy philosophy, expenses which are beyond the ordinary costs of the basic educational program, such as yearbooks, clubs, travel, after-scho- ol activities and athletic participation should be borne largely by the participating studen-ts. s --v '"' ' '" y a is ' I' (J vf i Cary Secretan PGHS Graduate Congratulations Cary We are proud of you.
