Box Elder High School - Boomerang Yearbook (Brigham City, UT)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1961 volume:

THE SPIRIT OF BOX ELDER -- ■ 1 ■ - „ar You could feel it, but if was intangible. You were awareof its results, but you couldn't put your finger on it. You could see it, but you couldn't touch it. What was it? It was the wonderful spirit which enveloped the Box Elder High School campus this year. A spirit which was implanted deep in the hearts of her students. A spirit which was so abundant and so much alive that it showed up in everything they did, whether it was in student government, club activities, parties, projects, sports, or anything else they did. It was even present in the classrooms To the spirit of Box Elder we dedicate this, the 1961 Boomerang. N Glistening in the crisp, spicey, morn- ing air, the Box Elder B looks down from her stately position on the moun- tain, through the scarlet, bronze, and olden leaves of the trees at our sparkl- ig, frost-bitten campus. Once again we mount our grand old steps — steps that are stained by age and tradition. Once again we join with our classmates in the freshly polished halls — halls that ring with the spirit of Box Elder. As the bewitching shadows of au- tumn's evening settle around her, Box Ider's B sees a chilling gust of wind arry a tumbleweed across the gray- green of our football field. Once again we meet in our shrub-lined stadium. As ham City stings our noses and bites our toes, we share our defeats and victories. Once again we attend football dances, celebrations, parties, and the Harvest Ball within the red brick walls of our gym- nasium The hourglass is tipped. Slowly the Jfr'Sands of Time that have changed to the leaves of autumn nineteen hundred and sixty sift through the small opening, the autumn leaves of studies and fun. Football team 1960-61 Football 1960-61 By Mr. Charles Claybaugh Everyone pays tribute to a champion, and Box Elder High, the people of Bngham City pay our respects to our championship team and the coaches who helped train, drill and direct it, as well as plan the battle strategy. Not so much just because you won, but because of what you repre- sent . the best in Utah, the supreme, the ultimate, first rate, unexcell- ed In a horse race or a stock judging contest, it is always the cham- ion, the winner, who is feted and honored. Whoever heard of toasting the second best, the runner-up, actually the loser in the championship competition. In paying tribute, we recognize the qualities that it takes to make a champion. Ability? Certainly it is important. Training? Yes, hard rigorous drilling. Capable coaching? That is taken for granted. Courage, sports- manship. teamwork. Yes, these and many others. But it takes something more because these qualities can be found in nearly every team. And that something? It's determination, the desire to win! That is something that each and every member of this great football squad contributed, as did your coaches, your schoolmates, your pep squads, your band, and your cheerleaders. It isn't anything that you can see. It's a spirit that you feel, a spirit that causes you to do more than is expected, to perform beyond your capacity and ability, to dig in deeper when the chips are down, to refuse to accept defeat. That is the spirit of this great team of I960 and that is the quality that we are recognizing and honoring this day. That is the element that makes you champions, instead of runner-ups. Yes, all the world pays tribute to the champion and all of Brigham City and the state of Utah pays honor to the Bees. You see, we're not so much interested in good losers as we are gra- cious winners. Long may you reign at the top. football King and Queen Marie Madsen and Brent Bradbury M. Carver A. Petersen V.

Smoot Homecoming Homecoming King and Queen Veran Sm'th aid Pat Evan Passers-by cast curious glances in the direction of the city hall, and it was impossible to continue any office work anywhere in the area that afternoon. Why? Be- cause we, the entire studentbody of the Box Elder High School, were assembled in the street be- low the windows of our city's headquarters to let the whole town know that it was our home- coming! That night we had a bonfire- pep rally. Then the field lights were turned off and tears of pride came to our eyes as we watched the impressive lighting of our B on the hill above the stadium. We were defeated that night, but we didn't lose our enthus- iasm and pride in our team. In- stead, inspired by our wonder- ful, peppy cheerleaders, Connie, Kathy, Vicki, Jane, and Eileen, our enthusiastic spirit and deter- mination increased. We went on to win the State Class A Football Championship. Homecoming halftime 10 Veran makes a Gomez carries the ball. Halftime spectacular. The early morning haze stole over the mountain peaks. First it bathed our stately B on the hillside in dew. Next it slid down the slopes and wrapped our cam- pus in a misty pink light. Then it crept over the housetops and around corners. All of a sudden it burst forth into a beautiful, new dawn. At last morning had come and our sleepless night was over. We were so excited we couldn't eat and by 7:00 we were already at the high school. This was our day, the climax of what we had plan- ned and worked for all summer and all fall. By 9:00 o'clock we were on our way. It was November 25, I960; our destination was Provo; and we, the Box Elder Bees, were going to take State. Game time came and the sta- dium at the Brigham Young Uni- versity was packed with students of Box Elder, (and) friends of old Box Elder. Then out of their team room came fifty boys dressed in purple and white. They were our boys representing us on the gridiron, and we were so proud of them we just about burst. We were well represented in our half- time show, also,- and when the balloons rose into the air, they were the symbols of the spirit and aims of our studentbody rising higher and higher. They played a great game of football, those boys of ours; and we really meant it when we said, We Love Our Team! When the gun sounded ending the game, the gold trophy was ours and so was a gold link for our victory chain. We triumphantly escorted them off the field to the team- room. Then with shouts of joy we headed home. But back in the teamroom it was quiet for a few minutes as Coach Dunn led the team in a prayer of thanksgiving. At about 8:30 that same eve- ning, hundreds of people assem- bled on the lawn and sidewalks in front of the Box Elder Countv Courthouse. At approximately 9:15, sirens were heard in the distance. A few minutes later the State Class A Championship Foot- ball Team was escorted into town. They were carried up the side- walks and deposited on the court- house steps. Then with tears of happiness and joy running down our cheeks, we sang . we love you, praise you, and support you dear Box Elder. Ray goes for the only touchdown of the game.

Therefore, in its underwater setting, that was just what this year's Harvest Ball, Deep Sea Harvest with its theme song Ebb Tide, was, dreamy, misty, and romantic.

Box Elder High School was tipped off to a wonderful basketball season. From the pre-season games through the state tournament, our thump-thumps kept the ball whistling through the hoop chalking up victory after victory. There was something just a little ex- tra special about our team this year. They weren't five basketball players out on the court; they were a team of eleven top-notch fellows working and pulling together. Never once through the whole season did anyone see one of our team members lose his temper and blow-up. They took the calls of the referees in their stride. Coach Grant Moser is an extra-special person, too. He really worked through the weeks of practice to produce a good Veran Smith Kirk Gardner Paul Morrell Jay Stewart John Johnson Frank Rees Alan Thompson Greg Young team. Then — game time came. There was nothing more he could do for them except watch and sweat. They are his boys; and he knew they could do it, if they would. When they did it, he was the happiest man around; and when they didn't, he was the most disappointed man around. At the first of the season we, the student body, didn't follow the team's example of good sportsmanship. We were just another student body except that we yelled louder and longer than the others. The cheerleaders did their best to put a stop to our poor sportsmanship. But, we love our team, and we figured that it was our duty to them to let the referees, the opposing teams, and the other student bodies know that we didn't like the way our boys were being treated. When we just about didn't get to participate in the state games because of it we finally realized the kind of reputation we were giving Box Elder. Then there was a complete turn about. At the tournament we had the finest team and coach, even if the records didn't show it, and the peppiest, most enthusiastic cheering section. But, most important of all, we had the best sportsmanship of any team, coach, and student body in the entire state of Uah. Reese Nielsen Harold Thompson Taken from the Salt Lake Tribune The Box Elder cheering section is one of the best organized and yells the loudest of any of those attending the tournament that anyone can remember This cheering section goes completely silent when the opposition is about to shoot a foul which is enough to cause a person to start attending baskeball games again. Connie Jensen Jane Somida Vickie Larsen Kathy Claybaugh Cheerleaders BASKETBALL QUEEN ANO KING Judy Byington Jay Stuart Eileen Grover Never ruffled and seemingly unconcerned over problems is Kirk Gardner When the going gets rough and the pressure is on, Kirk keeps his head and does his best. He has served this year as Preident of the Choir and Vice President of the B'lvers. Personality L Personality Vivacious, enthusiastic, and just plain cute is Pat Evans. Pat has capably served as one of our Boomerang Editors, and our Senior Class Secretary. She has also been a member of dozens of committees. Pat is noted for the charming way she talks with her hands and adds emphasis with her eyes. All in all she is a top notch senior girl and very deserving of being one of our personalities. Brent, better known as Bradbury, was President of the Boys' League. If Brent accepts a responsibility or is asked to do something, he does it with his whole heart. One can be sure that anything he says he will do will be done and done- right. Brent is a friend to all in his warm and earnest way. Personality Personality From the top of her saucy brown curls to the bottom our her dainty little feet, RoJean Reeves, one of our personalities, is a lady. We all know her as one of our yearbook editors, as the F.H.A. Secretary, and as one of the sweetest girls in the world. We'll never be able to understand how such a big, beautiful voice as hers can come from such a little girl. For one of our personalities we have chosen Jay C. Stuart, our Student Body President. Jay is a wonderful fellow. He is so grown-up and business-like when it comes to the problems of our student body; and yet, he is always so much fun to be around. Jay is sincere and one knows he means the things he says. With his big, sunny smile and twinkling, winking eyes, Jay will always be one of our favorite people. Personality Personality Marie Madsen, our Student Body Vice President, is like a bottle of carbonat- ed water — always sparkly and fun. Under her brown curls something is always fizzing ; and she is forever bubbling over with happiness and enthusiasm. From early morning until late at night she never stops; and yet, she is never too busy to do something for somebody else. Marie is everyone's best friend. Behind twinkling eyes and a sparkling, warm smile, we find Veran Smith, one of our 1961 Boomerang personalities. Veran is a wholesome sort of fellow who seems to be able to make a success of anything he does whether it is serv- ing as Senior Class Vice-president, making a touchdown, shooting a one-handed jump shot, or hitting a homerun. Personality Personality Unassuming, mild-mannered, and gentle, Beverly Madsen, our capable Student Body Secretary, is a definite choice for one of our Boomerang personali- ties. Beverly is the kind of girl who knows how to listen to and understand other people's problems. No matter how worried, tired, or discouraged she is, no one else ever knows about it. Beverly is the picture of lovliness inside and out- side with her long, brown tresses and unselfish spirit. B' 1 VER PREFERRED GIRLS SWEATER BOY AND GIRL RoJean Reeve� , Pat Evan .

Under the nly blue of the sky, we participate in golf, track, «tennis, and baseball. It's a time for joy, being out in the fresh air again; but for some it's also a time for tears because spring brings gradua- tion in its wake. Yes, you can see it in the sparkle of your friends eyes, you can smell it with each breath, and you can feel it in 4he tingle of your heart. It's spring Box Elder High.

Twisting and turning, tumbling and rolling, the Box Elder High grapplers matched wits and strength in meet after meet.

Alvin Anderson went on to a number one place in the state meet. Main String Coach Simmons Wrestling Squad Baseball '61 Coach Harrir Coach Harris has a wonderful old tradition of always having a successful baseball team, and this year was no exception. With him as coach, seven returning lettermen, plus a group of other top-notch fellows, the team was a powerhouse of talent. Then add to their talent their won- derful team spirit and their enthusiasm; and you have our Box Elder High School Baseball Team that just couldn't be stopped. Veran Smith Gary Nay Marvin Kobayashi Jay Stuart Dean Forsgren Phil I SENIORS In the sun or rain, snow or sleet, our track boys were still at it. Whether running around and around the track, jumping up and over the hurdles, throwing the javelin and the shot put, clearing the high hurdles, or run- ning relays; they were a sensation. They practiced so long and so hard that when it came to the meets they had no problem at all. Always they were inspired to greater heights and speeds by their wonderful team spirit and their goal. Their goal was, To make track a major sport at Box Elder. Track Team Golf Team Golf Plant your feet firmly in the grass; keep your head down and your eyes on the ball; place your hands in proper position on the club; don't hesitate on your backswing; concentrate; and above all, keep calm when the pressure's on. These are just a few of the instructions Coach Moser gave the fellows on our golf team as they prepared for their season of meets. Then with eagle eyes and steady hands, they teed off to a tremendously successful season. Coach Moser Kirk Gardner Johnny Johnon Tennis Team Tennis rackets in hand our Box Elder High School tennis team stormed the courts with great success. With only one returning letterman, Chris Simonsen, they lacked experience, but they made up for this deficit with their abundance of team spirit. Led by their sunny-dispositioned, smiling coach, Yogi Simmons, they mastered all situations and all conditions they played under. Chris Simonsen—returning Letterman Tennis Coach Simmons Seven years ago in the Perry elementary school, Principal Robert W. Morgan predicted that a little blonde in his 5th grade would someday be the valedictorian of her senior class. That little 5th grader is our own Marilyn Call, the valedictorian of the Class of '61. Ever since she was a little girl, Marilyn has been ambitious; and be- cause of this ambition she has always been on top. She squeezes just as much happiness and just as many opportunities for improving herself as she can out of every day she lives. A big part of the many good things which have made Marilyn what she is today is her family. She really has a wonderful Mother and Father, a younger sister, and four little brothers. To Marilyn's intelligence add her sparkling personality, her thought- fulness, her many talents, and her pretty face. With these outstanding traits, it isn't difficult to understand why she is our number one student. Yes, this is Marilyn Call, the girl who loves to slide down snowy hills head first, who gets a thrill out of singing, who thoroughly enjoys choir trips and German assemblies, who can play the piano like a master, and who is never too busy to help someone else. Yes, this is Marilyn Call, our valedictorian. Congratulations to you, Marilyn, and to the rest of the top ten. 46 Marilyn is congratulated by Mr. Neilson, head of the Graduating Committee.

Keith Johnson As the last strains of Now Is the Hour echoed through the dear old halls, we, the seniors, bade farewell. Our hourglass was empty. The heavy doors swung shut bringing to a close our wonderful high school days. The latch clicked, locking into our hearts forever the priceless memories of Box Elder. Among these priceless memories locked in our hearts is the remembrance of the night when we were the first class to graduate from the junior high . . . the night when we became sophomores and members of the Box Elder High School. Boy were we proud of our fellows that year when some of them made varsity squads in our sports. We were proud of the AAarshmellow World we created at Christmas, too,- and we'll never forget how it felt to be left out of an assembly. First project for our junior year was winning sweepstakes with our float, Reign of the Pharoah, in the Peach Day parade. Next we took the studenbody on a tour of the world stopping for our beautiful prom in Gay Paree. Before we knew it, we were seniors! All summer we anticipated and planned for our last year at dear old B. E. Then it was fall and out of the depths of the sugar factory came another prize-winning float. All year things were great; and to make them just about perfect, we became the state champions. Then spring came and with it—graduation. The echoes in the halls died away; we took one last look; then turned to face the future. For the last three years we had sung Oh Box Elder, Were Proud of You. Now as we stepped into the future, in our hearts we made a vow. Oh Box Elder, we will always live so that you will be proud of us. colu 2 —O Pat Evans Susan Allen Brent Anderson Kent Anderson Max cine Anderson When school started in the fall, we realized that we had to make the most of everything.

LaVoyl Stcinquist Dad ................. Richard Capener Our eyes filled with tears as we watched the seniors leave their seats dur- ing our awards assembly and become freshmen in the school of life. The sands in our hourglass of high school days were fast diminishing, just one year left. We had worked hard to make our last two years a success. Remember the fine job our boys did when they lit the B for Homecoming. We created a lot of anticipation and beautiful Christmas spirit among the students as we presented our Holiday for Angels dance and assembly. We grew up a lot in that first year; and when May came, we were ready to come down from the balcony to fill the junior section. A summer full of anticipation followed. A big and important year was coming up. We were juniors! Our Peach Day entry, Tropical Paradise, sparkled brilliantly in the sun; and we even found a way to keep our problem palm tree standing. All year we just about popped our buttons with pride at the way our fellows played to help Box Elder again become the home of the state champs. But, the crown- ing event of the entire year was our Prom. From the ceiling to the very corners of the old gym it was full of enchantment, atmosphere, romance, and beauty. We never wanted that night to end. Time went on, and our never-to-be-forgotten junior year came to a close. As we stood for that last moment in our section of the auditorium, we realized the grave responsibility that was ours in taking over the section reserved for seniors. We were becoming the leaders and example setters. It was going to be our job to carry out Box Elder's wonderful traditions and add to her glory. Fully aware of our responsibilities, heads held high, and our eyes sparkling, we solemnly took our places as the seniors of the Box Elder High School. RITA PALMER Secretary Darrel W.

Sue Jensen Dad ...................... Lloyd Hust When we graduated from the junior high, with our diplomas we as a class received our three years supply of sand, our hourglass, and instructions. Our instructions were to act like ladies and gentlemen, not boys and girls and to make the most of every second because the sands sift rapidly through the hour- glass. It was a big step from the childhood of our junior high years to the young adulthood of our first senior high year, but we made the change and came through with flying colors. The year was full of tests and we met each one with determination to suc- ceed. Devil's Torment was the name we gave to our first test which was an extremely different Peach Day float. We'll never forget the fun we had planning and building our red project. Some of us will probably never forget, either, the sore fingers we got when we missed the nails. To the success of our first homecoming we added a really beautiful lighting of the B. As the air became filled with the smells, sounds, and thoughts of Christmas, we carefully laid out the plans for the biggest test of the year, our Christmas dance and assembly. Frost Fantasy ' was chosen as the theme. Finally the big day arrived, and the results were well worth the many hours of planning, the sleepless nights, and the undigested lunches. We presented a dance and assembly that will long be remembered as one of the best at Box Elder. We met each new test with vigor, and we passed each one victoriously. At the close of the year we looked back with satisfaction on a job well done, and we looked ahead to our junior year and our senior year, and many more jobs to do.

I'll be late for classll Snaps Clubs and Organizations Just as the old red bricks of our high school are held together by the mortar, so are the members of the studentbody held together by their clubs and organizations. And, just as it takes a lot of different people to make the affairs of our nation run smooth- ly, so it takes a lot of different organizations to make the affairs of our high school run smoothly. But, without enthusiasm of the members in their purposes, without support in their projects, and without pride of the members in their accomplishments, these clubs and organizations would have no meaning and would fall apart. It all began last summer with individual club meetings, joint meetings of the various officers and the studentbody officers, and joint club meetings. As early as that, enthu- siasm was built up and plans were made to make the year of 1960-61 the best one the Box Elder High School had ever known. With the help of these clubs and organi- zations the sands in our hourglass have sifted out a wonderful year. A year filled not with just studies, but fun, activity, and most of all a feeling that we belonged. 107 D. A.

Every organization or institution must have an es- tablished system of political administration and a set of rules or standards to maintain order, to promote the gen- eral welfare, and to accomplish its aims. Our forefathers chose democracy as the established system of political government for our nation. Then they formulated the constitution as the set of rules and standards. Also, in a high school there must be a system for administration and rules and regulations set up. But, very few high schools are able to claim that they really follow the demo- cratic way of life set up by our forefathers. However, we of the Box Elder High School can truthfully say, We are given a chance to put our freedom of choice and our right to vote into practical everyday use. Each fall when the school year begins, a special business assembly is held in which the pros and cons of Student Government are explained and debated. Fol- lowing this assembly the student body votes as to wheth- er they want Student Government continued or sus- pended. If the majority vote to suspend it, the faculty take over their rule once again. But as soon as it is given the support and go ahead signal by its citizens, the wheels of its unique organization swing into motion. The studentbody officers, executive council members, and representative council members chosen by the stu- dents act as the lawmaking or Legislative body of our government. The faculty, the Board of Education, and our principals act as the legislative advisors, the cabinet members, and also the Judiciary body of our govern- ment organization. Last, but far from least, the Executive body of our organization is composed of us, the students of Box Elder. Our forefathers really knew what was best for our nation; and by following the pattern they established, we have the best high school possible. We have better educational opportunities to build better Americans to be better citizens to establish a better world for a better tomorrow. 130 Student Body Officers Beverly Madsen Secretary Representative Council Executive Council Girls League COUNCIL left to right, first row R.

Olsen Owen Westenskow Robert Wendell LaVoyle Stenquist Rosamond Sleigh ■ The sun has faded the bright red from her bricks, the hail has chipped away at her mortar, the snow has cracked the smooth surface of her sidewalks, but still she proudly, majestically stands and always will stand as a monument and symbol of the spirit of Box Elder. She has seen many years and classes come and go She has survived many state championships. She has quietly observed many hearts break and mend. She has triumphed each time her students rose above their defeats and aspired to new goals. She has watched over us, guarded us, tried to protect us, and encouraged us as her students for so long that her wonderful old walls are literally steeped with traditions and spirit. But now as the last sands fall for the school year 1960-61, the last sands also fall for this dear old build- ing as the Home of the Bees. Down through the years, from these sacred old walls, we have received strength from their strength, love from the friendships found and developed within them peace from their serene simpleness, faith from the faith of those who have passed through them before us and from those who are coming, joy from their age-old traditions, knowledge from their many shelves piled high with books, hope from their far-reaching influence, and trust in ourselves and God from their steady unwaver- ing security from outside influences. We, the Box Elder High School student body bid farewell to you. This fall we enter a bigger building that has a new look and a new smell. But in our hearts and sou's we carry the traditions you have instilled in us to start filling the cracks in the new walls. Because you have made it so much a part of our lives, the won- derful spirit of Box Elder will live and thrive in the new classrooms and wherever Box Elder's students are. Now we, the Class of '61 say a special goodbye. We have a common bond — for both of us, high school life is ending, and for both of us, a new life is beginning. Because of you we go forward into the future with a firm and steady step, heads held high, with hope, cour- age, and without fear. One last thought; it has been said, The glory of God is intelligence. Because of what you have repre- sented, what you now represent, and what you will always represent, you have added to God's glory.
