CALLISTER, Chief Justice: Juvenile, R.N., appeals from an adjudication of the juvenile court that he was within the jurisdiction thereof as provided in Section 55-10-77(1), U.C.A. 1953, as amended 1965, by reason of violating a state law. A petition was filed alleging that R.N. on or about July 28, 1973, in violation of Section 76-5-404, U.C.A. 1953, as amended 1973, did take indecent liberties with L.L., a female not his wife, under 14 years of age, with intent to arouse or gratify his own sexual desires. This matter was tried before the court, and at the Conclusion of the trial, the court ruled that R.N. had committed an assault. The court ordered that the petition be amended to allege that on or about July 28, 1973, R.N., in violation of Section 76-5-102(1)(c), U.C.A. as amended 1973, did assault L.L. No. formal findings of fact or Conclusions of law were made by the court. On a printed form, denominated findings of fact, a square was checked, to indicate that the allegations in the petition were proven. The form then recited that by reason of the foregoing findings of fact, the person named on the reverse side was adjudicated within Section 77 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1965 as amended.
