PwyreAA . . . the %u £uil4inf The tower of the new Joseph Smith memorial build- ing makes a last stretch as workmen put finishing touches on it. Containing the chimes given by the Class of ' 40, the tower is trimmed in stainless steel. Its modernistic lines are symbolic of progressive, new methods which are used by the teachers.

BOTTOM LEFT: Mary Skousen of Mexico is shown construction by Marvin Smith of New York in the auditorium while a workman helps Marv with a few point- ers. BOTTOM CENTER: One of the last brushfuls of paint is spread on the wall of a classroom. The color tone eliminates drab, monotonous classrooms in the new build- ing.

Sunset from the upper campus ... an unforgetable sight. We come from a late lab- oratory class in the Brimhall Building and stroll leisurely along the walk that rims the west brink of the hiill. Stopping at the observation platform of the new steps , before us we see the checkerboard pattern of the broad valley floor, the silver ribbon of steel-blue lake in the distance, and finally the warm, friendly mountains farther west. At first the western sky blaz- es like an inferno of dashing scarlet, orange, turguoise, and mauve, each trying to outdo the other in brilliance of hue. Gradually the vivid hues gray down to subtler tones which fore- shadow the coming dusk. Finally we see only whispers of orange against indigo as the willow- the-wisp rays from behind the mountains play tag with the scurrying clouds. As darkness blots out the last patches of color in the sky, we end our trek about the camp- us setting of Brigham Young University ... try to match its beauty anywhere! 16
