Nick Caputo, Weit High star of some years ago, will act as Palmer's assistant during the football season. Sophomore football will be under the capable direction of Joe Johnson, and Bill Fickenger, will ease the junior football team into high school competition. Winter schedules will see John-son blowing the whistle for the varsity basketball boys, assisted by John Pino.Jr. Palmer will take over sophomore basketball. Highland wrestlers will be trained by Caputo, and in the spring months, Fickenger will coach the track hopefuls. Pino will train golfers. An extensive intramural pro-gram of sports will be carried on all year under the direction of Coach Pino. Completion of the school gym-nasium will give Highland sports a big boost, with its excellent facilities for intramural and inter-scho- ol competition. High School. Edwin M. Bxonson will take the reins as principal after a number of years aa counselor. He reports an extensive re-modeling program has been ac-complished during the summer. New acoustic tile has been in-stalled in all classrooms, and also on the ceilings in each hall. New lighting has also been installed. The playground area, which was blacktopped, has a new coat of white sand, as has the Forest School. Mr. Bronson expects some 225 seventh graders to attend Irving for the first time this year. He issued a reminder to parents of these students that each young-ster should have a physical exam-ination by a private physician. This is an innovation in city schools. In previous years a school physician has made these exam-inations, but that practice has been discontinued. The Lake City Board of Education has asked that parents take their children to he family physician for an examination prior to enrolling in the seventh grade. Mr. Bronson said that some 975 Irving students will notice new teachers in 16 classrooms this year. He also stated that the school has special classes in each grade for remedial work and also for students who can absorb classwork faster than most of their schoolmates. State Fair Secretary Sets Exhibit Deadline Curtain time is fast approach-ing for the 1957 edition of the Utah State Fair and exposition, but exhibitors are faced with an earlier deadline, Don Wyatt, Secret-ary- Manager said Monday. Entry blanks for citizens who want to vie for prizes, trophies and ribbons must be on file at the State Fair offices on August 30 in most departments, he pointed out. These include horses, cattle, swine, sheep, poultry, pigeons, rabbitts, mines and minerals, music, fine arts, applied arts, photography and hobbies. The same date applies to the Junior Departments, including 4-- H clubs and Future Farmers of America. Departments with later entry dates are: home arts, September 7; ceramics, September 9; horti-culture and agriculture, Septem-ber 13. With more and more Utahns taking advantage of the many opportunities offered by the Fair to win recognition and prizes for their achievements, the early en-try dates have become necessary, Mr. Wyatt said. Before the gates open to the public on September 13 for a ten day run, many thousands of articles must be judged and ready for display, he added. American Field Service Offers Vast Opportunities By Lynn Howard Around The World in Salt Lake On June 21st- ,- American high school juniors waved farewell to American shores and set off to-gether for an incredibly exciting and rewarding adventure. Among them were eleven Utahns, among the first from this state to receive American Field Service In-ternational Scholarships. Joyce Bartschi from South, Steven Kilmer and Carolyn Tanner from Olympus, Susan Sterling from Granite. Susan Stringham from Murray, Cam Pederson from West, Chris Snow and Roger Thompson from East, Mary Roser from Judge, Eleanor Davey from Roland Hall, and Kay Sheffield from Davis are spending their summers in JAPAN, FRANCE, NEW ZEAIAND, LUXUMBOURG, TURKEY, NORWAY, PACK-ISTA- N, GERMANY, and GRE-ECE, respectively. Utah is also previleged to send John Gunnell, East High student, and Allen Engen, Olympus High student, to GERMANY and NORWAY to attend school and stay with fam-ilies there until the first of the year. This year is the first that American teenagers have had the opportunity to live and attend school abroad. Two among the sixteen participants from the U.S. are Utahns. These teenager are not leading the lives of tourists. It Is the belief of the AFS that living in a family and doing as the family does, the students learn more than they would by just hitting tourist highlights. When they return to the states they are responsible for sharing this new knowledge with their families, student bodies and commun-ities. Throughout the year, they give illustrated talks and speaches describing their experiences. They also take responsibility on the local AFS committee. Through this sharing of experience, an AFS scholarship, rather than being for one student, is for the entire community. Behind this opportunity for Utah teenagers is Bartlett Wicks, area chairman of the American Field Service committee, whose respon-sibility it is to insure the careful and competitive selection of AFS teenage representatives in area schools. For the benefit of teenagers in the South East area who will soon be registering for the school year, and for their parents, two principal require-ments for an AFS candidate are that he or she have studied two years of a foreign language and be a junior in high school in good academic standing at the time of application. With area schools opening soon, the language requirement is worth special con-sideration. The privilege of sending a (Continued on Page 7) Forest School Remodeled; 800 Students Enroll On the grade school level, Mrs. Maurine McDonald, new principal of Forest School, says she expects some 800 to attend classes from the first through the sixth grades.
