 avos of groat won all remind as Wo can make our lives sublime, And. departing, leave b hind f ootprints on the sands of Time. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow AS TIME GOES BY, each successive generation advances in formulated or scientific knowledge be- yond the previous generation; but our relations with our fellowmen, patterned after Iho precepts set forth by the Savior nearly 2,000 years ago, remain much the same. Our minds have the curious hab»i of musing up- on old familiar things, and the past remains as the basic structure of what we are and what we may yet become. As wc pursue and achieve increasingly higher goals, we shall occasionally pause and in retrospect ponder upon the elements that have molded the structure of our characters and personalities and that, fusing, have created each unique individual. Among our most rewarding recollections will be the unparalleled, golden days of high school, where we approached social, intellectual, and spiritual ma- turity. We have endeavored to preserve in this annual a few of the kaleidoscopic components that have merged into the vibrant pattern of this, our year . . .

A PROUD HERITAGE B. Y. High School is a direct descendant of a private school which was begun in J8o9 by Warren and Wilson Dusenbury. It was in existence a quarter of a century before public schools were established in Utah. A countless number of interesting events have transpired since this early beginning. The long line of history has been punctuated with many events which would make interesting reading for any novel. Take, for instance, the burning of our first permanent home—the old Lewis Building on 3rd West and Center Street. It caught fire Sunday evening, January 27, 1884. In spite of the bucket brigade to the old mill race and except for a few articles of furniture, gallantly saved by students, the building was a total loss. However, the school opened on schedule the following Tuesday with the help of faculty and students in various business houses and ehti'rchss. The occupying, of th§ present occasion . The e'Vrtire st g January 4, 1892 was another memorable «„.„7 oiuunnuuuy, wu oy its Principal, Dr' Kar! G. KTaesef, marched from the Z.C.M.I. Warehouseman 6th South and University Avenue to the new build- ing and amid pomp and circumstance and in the presence of the Church Presidency and the Territorial Governor, this building, which we are still using today, was dedi- cated. The entire S'chopthas a history.pf unitedness of faculty and students which un- derlies our present motto of,' Cftriti Stetimus- 1+ was through cooperation of faculty an students that tlje walks were laid around the building and the gym floors laid. Our first sewer system was attributed to the cooperative spirit and the ability of fac- ulty and students to work together. From daylight to dark the male members of the factifty ana studentbody worxea in relays to complete in one day the sewer from 6th North to 1st North on University Avenue. The lady mfembers of the faculty and sfudentbody assisted by generously serving them with cold lemonade and hot sand- wiches throughout the day. ' Almost every doorway and hallway in the building have many precious stories which describe the endearment and loyalty of this instituion.

The In- dustrial Arts Building (Blacksmith Shop) was subsequently constructed and equipped with 10 forges which were donated by the citizens of the tommunity. The B. Y.

All students are invited to share these memories with the thousands of students who have gone before and it 7sN'hdpe9 they wMTdnfoy making their owrCcoritribution to these traditions which surround this, the oldest, and we think the most revered of all high schools in the Stae of Utah.
