Apparently Louise Schow and Blanche Smith have their eye on the domestic side of life. Louise excels in cooking. fShe probably has heard that the Way to a man's heart is through his stom- ach. j Blanche's sewing adaptability will likely be used to sew buttons on her husband's shirt Virginia Evans and Gerald Boieourt are leaders in dra- matics. Both have taken part in the school play. They are in the Periwig Club, and are active in speech work. Pagu sm,-.nm-Q f These two happy students, Mary Cannon and Dean Thomas, were chosen the Cyprus Sweet- hcartsf' And why not? Mary is a typical Betty Co-ed, and Dean just simply has what it takes. To this renned and cultured girl goes the distinction of be- ing one of Cyprus' most out- standing art students. Edythe Harris has helped with the scenes for dances, plays, and operas, and, what is more im- portant, has successfully done the art work for our yearbook. Nobody at Cyprus can bring from the ivories the music that Dean Thomas can. His skillful fingers interpret the notes in rhythmic melody. .hy f If, ,Nl axes , X' V . , his J ji i .SAX

Wlien he demonstrates his skill on the accordian, there is always an encore. He is one of the welcomed entertainers who have made our assemblies score. O'Dell Madsen is another one to whom we say Hats off! He has worked diligently and conscientious- ly as student body president and has shouldered his many responsi- bilities with admirable zeal. 7 - xx. lxin X. i xi li a V . . l Dorothy Nelson, Cyprus' most pop out rhythm in taps She has ap- peared on l ular tap dancer, can certainly send severa programs, con- ducts a boys dancing class, and has S one to the dance contest at Provo for the past two years. Two of our school warblers are Fern Pierce and Paul Blackett. Both have served in the glee clubs and o er f ' p aso 35 and '56. Nature's feathered singers have nothing on Fern and Paul. Eiiiciency and speed in taking dic- tation have given Billie Cooper and 'Irene Yamamoto enviable records in shorthand. Their pencils fly with dexterity and accuracy. 41' The hne playing of Henry Mori and Neal Pehrson has done much for Cyprus' athletic achieve- ment. The flashy and skillful work of Henry in football prov- ed to be the team's backbone. Neal's tricky passing and ac- curate shooting Was a valuable asset to the basketball team. Page Sixty-Iwo 5

R REMINISCENCE A few days from now I'll leave high school-leave Cyprus. Never more will I sing her song as one of her students. It will never be with the same spirit that I go in and out of her class rooms. And what's more important, never again will I have the opportunity to play on one of her teams, or help to make one of her activities a success. But it will always be with the same fierce pride that I cheer her teams on. I'll always thrill to her song and name. I'll always sorrow when she loses and exalt when she wins. Now that I'm leaving, school-spirit takes on a richer and deeper meaning. Gone are old contentions and quarrels and only pleasant memories remain. So it was the other night when I stood alone in the empty hall by the trophy case. It was there, amid the memories of the past, that I realized what school tradition was. I heard Qin imaginationj the shouts of jubilant students, the clash of bodies in a game, and the jingle of bells. I saw presidents, cheer-leaders, and players parade before my eyes. I saw how they had all given their best for the school, and it was then I regretted how little I had actually done to build that tradition. So it is now, and always will be, that a queer tightness comes in my throat when I enter the doors. I know that I'll always get that same tingly feeling in my spine when I look at her trophies, or see the team come onto the floor to the blare of the band. I say these things now, as an exit speech for the benefit of the under-graduates. Cyprus has a splendid tradition. Fine boys and girls have made it such. It is not your duty, but your privilege to uphold that tradition and carry it on to new heights, As a member of a wonderful school, it is your right to do your best to make her better, so that at the time you do receive that diploma, you may also receive the satisfaction which comes from a job well done. -GERALD BOICOURT MY OPINION OF SENIORS Who treats us as though we were inferior, Who have the best time all year long, Who thinks that they are so superior, And life to them is just a song, Who try to boss us all the time? Until their average is determined? The Seniors. The Seniors. Why try their passing grades to get, Who criticize all we do, By smiling sweetly as they sit, Tell us what we should do, too, - In difiicult classes every day? Yet who are we sorry to see leave us? The Seniors. The Seniors. --MARGARET MCGILL iii Page Sixty-four X i N XV
