Clarke, Business Manager GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY BANYAN oreworcl In this our Semi-Centennial year, we have attempted U link the past with the present in this the Golden Anniversary Edition of the Banyan. The coming back of former students and the renewing of old memories have turned our view rev- erently to the past. We pause this year in memory of those who have gone before us; and to the founders of this great common- wealth and our Alma Mater we pay our sincerest respect — for they builded better than thev knew. To the memory of the great souls of yesteryears who beat down the stony path we so easily tread today we have devoted this meager volume. The choicest left to us from the past has been placed hand in iiand with the best this school year has had to offer. May we ever prize the treasures from the past and seek for the inspiration that prompted the founders of our university.

Cornell University Along with the joy of completing a year of successful work, comes a sadness which is very real. Since many of those who are here this year will not be able to return, the closing of school means a separa- tion from friends who have become very dear. Even though we may not have an opportunity of meeting these friends again our lives have been enriched by association with them. Those of us who remain in the Institution wish those who are leaving permanently to know that we appreciate their friendship, and we send love and best wishes for success wherever they go. Let us all make the friendships established at the B. Y. U. the most enduring ones of our lives. F. S. H. RRIS. GEORGE H. liKlMHMI.. DSc.U. PresiilenI -Emeritus Professor ol Theology ..D..

University of California College of Arts and Sciences This lias been llie greatest scIiodI year yet enjoyed by the College of Arts and Sciences. With enlarged facilities made possible by the new library building this department has been able to broad- en its scope and increase its efficiency materially. Additional opportunities for original investigations in the field of science have been made possible, thus increasing the students ]iossibilities for securing a more fundamental and lib- eral education. Being a man of genial nature and pro- ductive vision. Dean Carl F. Evring is a constant inspiration to the students. These qualities enriched by a high stan- dard of scholarship have done much to make his deanship over the College of Arts and Sciences so successful.

California Institiile of Technology College of Applied Science The increased enrollment this vear in the various departments of the College of Applied Science indicates a growing interest in the practical side of educa- tion. It indicates too that students who have gone out from this college are mak- ing good, which is the surest test as to the efficiency of any school. As no stream rises higher than its source, so no institution ri.ses higher than its leaders. Doctor Christen ,len- sen as Dean of the College of Applied Science has been a successful leader atid much ol the success of this College can be attributed to his splendid foresight and management. Dean Jensen is a man not given to many words. His chief form of expression is bv deeds rather than bv words and this qualitv makes him peculiarh litled for the position he holds. 17 I hAKRISON V. HOYT Professor of Business Administration Dean of College of Commerce and Business Administration B.S., 1913. Purdue University M.B.A.. 1917. Harvard University College of Education Education today is not the hit and miss proposition that it was in years past. The day of the old Hoosier school master is no more. The candidate for a teacher ' s job now must have a rich back- ground of technical training. The Brigham Young University is at- tempting to furnish the various districts with teachers who will be qualified to efficiently teach and exemplify. That success is being attained is evidenced in the increased demand by school boards for teachers trained at this institution. Under the able direction of Dean L. John Nuttall this department has reached a marked degree of efficiency. The splendid technical training he has received; the broad and varied prac- tical experience that has been his, com- bined with his unusual native ability, all contribute to making him well quali- fied to fill the position of Dean of the College of Education. College of Commerce The demand for efficient business leadership is ever increasing. Economic problems are becoming so complex that only tlie trained man or woman can long survive in the field of commerce. There are a few schools in America that provide education in business ad- ministration of a practical as well as of a theoretical nature. Among them the Brigham Young University is not the least. Indeed, because of the advance made since its organization, there has been an increasing demand for its stu- dents in the business world. The success of this college may be traced directly to Dean Harrison V. Hoyt. whose broad business experience together with his practical and analyti- cal mind, make him the efficient and wholly capable man that he is for the position of Dean of the College of Com- merce and Business Administration.

During tiie past few years the growtli of the Music. Dramatic Art, Modern Language and Art Depart- ments has been so great that it became necessary to place them under a sep- arate deanship in order to handle them efficiently. During this hrst year of its existence the registration has approached yery near the hundred mark and the depart- ment is becoming so popular that next year ' s registration will no doubt far ex- ceed this number. In the selection of Gerrit de Jong as Dean, splendid judgment has been shown. His versatility of knowledge, his keen sense of humor, his alert and ready mind combine in making him the well rounded out personality that he is — a type superbly qualified to be Dean of the College of Fine Arts.

University of Utah Summer School Unless one has attended the summer sessions at Brigham Young I ' niversity. he has not found the spirit of the ' in its entirety. A spirit entirely ditlerent from that of the regular school prevades the siunmer school. Many of our most prominent people interested in educa- tion come to the summer sessions to search enthusiastically for the inspira- tion of educational leaders from all parts of the count r . Dean X dodward has made a iiatne for himself by his keen judgment in selecting and securing for the summer :essions many of the leading men of th? country in a variety of fields, thus making oin- summer school comparable ill opportuiiilN to many of the largest schools in (he country. Not oidy is he to b? recognized for this valuable serv- ice but he is furlhermore a friend and confiilent lo everyone with whom he comes in contact. 19 , - . . JOHN C. SWENSON Professor of Economics and Sociology Acting Dean of the Summer Session A.B.. 1898. Stanford University M.A.. 1921. Columbia University Dean Nettie Smart Mrs. Smart ' s primary endeavor has been to become intimately acquainted with all of the girls. She has fully real- ized the urgent need girls have of a friend who understands the problems with which most every girl meets when she enters a university. Mrs. Smart has felt that the girls of the student body have been her children and that she has been responsible for representing them. During this her first year of association with the girls. Mrs. Smart has made friends with most all of the girls. e all feel confident in her because she has made us feel that she is not merely oc- cupying a position, but that she does her service with a true love and devotion which can be none other than that which comes directlv from her deep sympa- thetic soul. John C. Swenson In the absence of Dr. Woodward, who is sometimes called to teach in the sum- mer schools of other universities. Pro- fessor John C. Swenson acts as dean of the summer school. Professor Swenson because of his wide range of experience with prominent men and women has been of invaluable service in making our summer sessions among the very best in the west. His interest in human beings, inquiring nature, and close ob- servation have contributed to making him an unusuallv well-informed teacher and a most interesting person with whom to be associated.

Romney Student Body President LiBBY Cook Student Body Vice-President Student Body Administration Our student body administration this year has demonstrated full well that the officers who have represented it have been workers of unlimited energy. The new situations which have arisen this year have tested thoroughly the ability of those who have led the activities of the year. The inevitable obstacles and demands upon the resources of those at the stern have proved their inherent worth as leaders and servants of their fellow students. The officers of this vear were placed in their positions of service bv an unusually firm opinion of the majority of the students of last vear, everv member of the ticket being placed in office by a fairly liberal margin. Immediatelv upon their election, the officers commenced determining the policies to be followed the ensuing vear. Plans of making copious, itemized reports of each of the student activities of the year, such as the different publications, important student body affairs, and affairs of the different departments such as the athletic and debate departments. Realizing the need of permitting as many students as possible to participate in the various activities, our President has followed the plan of encouraging a student to participate in but one activitv in order that he might do better work and that more students might be given an active part in student affairs. Among the important contributions of the administration was a partial revision of the constitution of the student body. Some of the changes made were the abolish- ing of the officers of editors of the Y ' s Guy and the White and Blue, dropping the graduate manager of athletics as a member of the student bodv council, placing defi- nite requirements for the holder of the office of business manager of the Y News, and changes in the requirements for some of the student bodv awards. If the generous efforts of the administration have meant the enjovment of a happy school year for the students, doubtless those who have served will have a most com- plete reward for their sacrifices.

Y. U. Alumni Association into the Associated Alumni of Brigham Young University. This new organization, respond- ing to the need for more definite service to Alma Mater during her second fifty years of existence, calls for wide representation of Alumni on the Board of Directors, con- sisting of twelve members elected by the membership at large: also the organization as outlined in the newly adopted constitution provides for a General Alumni Secre- tary to care for the details of the organization. Although in existence but a short time, thousands of former students have been located, their records more completely filled, their interest has been quickened through the monthly publication of the Y ALUMNUS, the official Alumni magazine, and life memberships have begun an en- dowment fund of growing importance.

U October 16, 1875, marked the beginning of Brigham Young University. On that day the Deed of Trust, conceived by Brigham Young, was formulated. He realized the necessity of education in building a new State. He also comprehended the value of religious instruction. So it was that the idea of such a school was fostered and Brigham Young I. niversity was founded. President Young endeavored to find a man to fill the appointment of principal. He must be willing and capable and be a man of dynamic personality and undaunt- ing spirit, who would be able to instruct with a spiritual influence. Karl G. Maeser, who was then teaching at a school in Salt Lake City, was summoned and accepted the office. Accordingly, in the spring of the following year. April 24, 1876, the school held a preliminary session, the first day ' s enrollment being twenty-nine, the total number reaching fifty-nine before the school closed in June. The first home could not be called an ideal school building, in fact it was never intended for such a purpose. The first floor was used as a store, and the part the school occupied was an amusement hall which was improvised into a school room. The place was known as Lewis Hall and was located on the present site of the Farmers and Merchants Bank. The school began its first academic year ' s work August 27. 1876, with a faculty consisting of Karl G. Maeser, Kristene Smoot, and Milton H. Hardy. Although the facilities were poor and were most inconvenient, here was born the Spirit of the Y. Dr. Maeser ' s influence and personality inspired Lenis Hall, Our First Home [36] those first students as were all who came under his jurisdiction. Among the students of Lewis Hall were: Senatiir Reed Smoot, Sen- ator m. H. King, and Jus- lice George Sutherland of the L nited States Supreme ( ourt. Lewis Hall was destroyed l)v fire eight years later. The flames consumed their meager equipment and One uj the First Student Budtts books. The situation was disheartening, but tlie spirit that was dominant and has kept B. Y. L. advancing through its struggle for ex- istence was manifest in Karl G. Maesers words as he ral- lied the students: The building is burned, but the spirit of the school still lives! But three days were lost of the school routine. The school convened in the basement of the old taber- W ' •4 : W The Morning Ajler the Firi i t iU SJi i nacle and a store until the Z. C. M. L warehouse on Sixth South became the official headquarters. The second floor, which was used, was one large room. This was partitioned into an academic room, nor- mal room, intermediate Kioni. and an oflice. Here the studies advanced to the i)uf- fing and screeching of en- gines, for the school was now located by a railroad yard. Despite the seeming The Faculty in I ml) [37] iir Fashi disadvantages the school continued to increase its mem- bership. The special work emphasized was Education. Music, and Art. The Lyceum course began here under the name of Polysophical Society. The faculty members were chief performers, each teacher taking his turn in giving a special lecture on a phase of his subject be- fore the society, which met weekly. Visiting artists to Utah, when obtainable, would present programs. Social life was satisfied at a dance given every fifth week. M any prominent men and women of Provo and the state recall those days of pioneering with a tender feel- ing. The B. . A. continued to grow. The warehouse proved inadequate to accommodate the increasing enrollment. so the Church, with some assistance from the general public, the students, the faculty, alumni association, and generous patrons, made appropriation for a school house. The Education building planned by Don Corlas Young, a son of the founder, was erected. The structure was one of the first of a new type of schools in the state and was the finest in Utah. It was a triumph for those students and faculty members as they formed a pro- cession, headed by Dr. Maeser, and marched to their new home. In Dr. Maesers address he said, The old man taught in a cabin, but they ve built a palace for his boys. Previous to the removal to the new school. Karl G. Mae- ser had been appointed as Super- intendent of the Church School System, and his duties often called him to other parts of the state. Dr. .Maeser ' s whole soul had been in his work. With reluct- ance he bade the school goodbye. He told them. Of all the word of the Enlgish language the hard- est to say is Farewell. ' This, my dear students and my dear fellow- teachers, you will not require of me. Dr. Benjamin Cluff. Jr., An Early Faculty Our First Football Team was appointed executive January. 1892. following the resignation of Dr. Maeser. Dr. Cluff stressed scholastic attainment. Through u influence a group of students attended eastern in- stitutions for the purpose of training for faculty aid. Many new features were inaugurated. Class or- ganizations were effected. A school periodical was published. The Pedogogium. out of which grew The .Normal. The White and Blue. and The Y News. Provisions were made for work leading to conferring of degrees, also the Summer School move- ment in the state was pioneered. The trees on the campus were planted by students and faculty at that time. [38] J Tlie Bchoul heretofore had depended chiefly on it? tuition fund and money from the endowment for its support; this was now supplemented hy Church appropria- tions. The Deed of Trust was super- ceded by articles of incorporation hy which everv member of the church is made a stockholder. Trustees are elected by the church liiannually at the geneial confer- ence of the church. The B. Y. U. .Mumni have been loyal to ■ lma Mater. Many limes have they as- sisted in a financial strujigle. The College building is the result of .Mumni solicita- tion. Reed Smoot offered his services as a member of the Alumni to launch a drive for funds when the prospects of the new building looked doubtful. So the College building was erected, a gift of ten people The Eiluailiiin Uuildine Athletics had gradually taken its place on the curriculum. Football was intro- dui ' ed in IHW). but was soon abolished be- cause ol disapproval of the game by author- ities. Football was not introduced again until six years ago. It has not become a major sport. Basketball has been the Y s specialty. A list of championships are recorded to our credit for many years back. The Y on the bill was buill in I9U(). and was designed by Marian Wakefield. During President lirimhairs administra- tion, the college degrees. Bachelor of Arts, and Bachelor of Science were first given for completion of biur years work above High School. The Arts building, built hoin general subscription from five slakes; the Ladies Belles of the Nineties whose names appear on a marble tablet in the lower hall. The Knight family were the most lib- eraf donors. The building was eipiipped by aUimni, friends, and faculty. Dr. Cluff ' s last official act as President, was to change the name of Brigham Young Acad- emy, as it was then called, to Brigham Y ' oung University. He resigned in iy03. Dr. George H. Brindiall. who had been in charge during Dr. Cluff ' s absence as head of an exploring expedition iiilo South America, succeeded him as President. . Training School building was the next project to be com- plied. Contributions amounting 1,. $:?.S.00n were made. Uncle .lesse Knight was the chief donor. The upper story of the training building was i-ipiipped as a gym- nasium. The Staff oj the First School I ' tipcr [39] Liisins the Corner Stone oi Maeser Men ■ial Gymnasium, paid for by funds from investments of the Board and Church appropriation; the Iron Wbrks building, erected and fur- nished by contributions: the new Mechanic Arts building, made possible through Church ap- propriations; and the Maeser Memorial, built by the Alumni Association; were erected during the period from 1903 to 1921. In addition, thirty-seven acres of campus were acquired on Temple Hill through gift and purchase. The Maeser Memorial. .Niechanic Arts building. Heber J. Grant Library, and the . thletic field occupy part of this land now. Dr. Brimhall retired from the presidency in 1921 and was made Presi- dent-Emeritus. His inspiring, direct, short talks have made the devotional exercises memorable. The inauguration of Dr. Franklin S. Harris as President of Brigham oung University is an event which is still vivid in the minds of alumni, friends, patrons and students of the B. Y. U. The last five years has evidenced a pe- riod of expansion. The faculty has in- creased in quantity and quality. The stu- dent enrollment has increased one hundred per cent. The High School for training purposes has been maintained, making our educational department one of the best. The dedication of the Heber J. Grant Library as a climax for the Semi-Centen- nial celebration was most fitting. Fifty An Early Graduating Class One of the First Championship Basketball Teams years ago little did the students of B. . L. realize the improved educational facilities the school would appreciate. The number of volumes of library books has been doubled in the last few years, adding to the nucleus that started years ago. when a concert was given at which a book was the price of admission. Many valuable church books were received among other volumes. Leadership Week, a convention organized to instruct leaders in wards and communi- ties, as training for leadership is one of the aims of the University, and has been one of the successful ventures in educational devices.

The dreamer of dreams with practical vision builds for the future, plans today that he may be something higher and better tomorrow. With infinite vision he sees that his ideal must be made progressively actual or lose its power to shape life and form char- acter. Such a vision, such a goal fired the imagination and strengthened the zeal of the man who founded the Brigham Young Academy in 1875. With a keen sense of his responsibility as the leader of a great people, actuated by the principles of the prophet founder of the church committed to his keeping, realiz- ing the significance of the words of that prophet that salvation is a matter of eternal progress, that no man can be saved in ignorance, Brigham Young conceived a system of education that should comprehend in its aims and purposes all phases of human learning. With the prescient eye of inspiration he saw that a true religion could not be a mere segment, but must be the center of the circle of life, circum- scribing all knowledge. Therefore, with a vision of the destiny of his people and their ever expanding needs, he founded the institution now celebrating its semi-cen- tennial year. Looking back upon the achievements of fifty years there is much of which we may be justly proud. Tested by fire, tried by poverty, menaced at times by the challenge to adjust its policv to the science and scholarship of a new age, it has ever gone on, evolving from academv to university, enriching its curriculum and widening its purposes, passing from humble quarters into more stately mansions, and pre- [42] Jj ■y . serving witlial its basic ideals of faith and character building;. This jubilee year, climaxed by the dedication of the beautiful library on the hill, testifies to objects attained, to hopes fulfilled, to purposes achieved; and visions with great promise, aspirations yet to be realized. Truly, the great Semi-centennial, staged October 1.5, 16, and 17, was a retrospect and a forecast, a commemoration and a prophecy. Thousands of students and friends gathered in from far and near and told their tales of long ago. They were thrilled with the spirit of the institution and the jiower that it had exerted in their lives: and. moreover, they were exultant over the thought that it would continue to serve their children and their children ' s children. Everywhere there were geniality and hearty good-will. A unique and entertaining feature of the three days ' program was the historical exhibit in the faculty room. Here hundreds of photographs dating from 187.5 to the present were in evidence. In addition were exhibits of jjroductive scholarship and handicraft, furnishing a comparative study of then and now. The first important meeting — an historic one — was held lliurs(la afternoon. October 15th. At this meeting President-Emeritus George H. Brimhall with his usual fire and enthusiasm gave an account of the founding of the school, some of its struggles and growth, and eloquently proclaimed its present high standing and pros- pects. Colonel Willard Young discussed the educational ideals of his father. Presi- dent Brigham Young, the founder of the school: and Superintendent Adam S. Ben- iiion, in his usual sparkling and brilliant style elaborated upon an unwritten chapter Iprophetit- forecast I of the school. An interesting feature of this occasion was the roll call of original twenty-nine sludent-i who attended the short term from .April 21 to May 26, 1876. Enthusiaslic applause greeted the fullowing ulicn they responded by rising to their feet: Diantha Hillings W Orsley. Alice Sinoot Newell. Sarah Eggertson Clufl ' . Joseph B. Keeler, Marietta Riggs Beesley, and Simon P. Eggertson. The famous B. Y. U. Band, in evidence during the whole three days ' celebration, gave a special band concert at 1 :Hfl on Iriiversity Hill. Professor Robert Sauer may be justly proud of the band, the peer ol any in the West. [43 J An alumni plate dinner and an alumni meeting in the evening closed the first day ' s celebration. A spicy program of classic music and extemporaneous toasts furnished entertainment for those assembled. Wliile all members were worthy of mention, it may not be out of place to give special mention to a significant address by David J. Wilson, a graduate of the school and now one of the leading attorneys of Ogden. on School Traditions, and to the semi-centennial prayer written by Annie Pike Greenwood and rendered by Professor Alice Reynolds. Only the merest mention can be made of the proceedings in general of the fol- lowing two days. Two outstanding features will be particularly stressed, the meet- ing in the Tabernacle Friday afternoon and the dedication of the Heber J. Grant Library in the afternoon. The day ' s proceedings were introduced by an academic pro- cession made up not only of the faculty, students, and friends of the institution, but of delegates from some thirty-eight important universities of the United States and six educational societies. The parade was one of the most imposing ever seen in Provo. At the conclusion the multitude filed into the Stake Tabernacle where a mo st interesting program was rendered, the central feature and pivotal point of which was the address by Dr. Herbert Eugene Bolton, curator of the famous Bancroft Library in the University of California and head of the history department of that institution. Doctor Bolton took for his subject Brigham Young as an Empire Builder, or the Mormons in the Development of the Great West. No man in the United States is so completely master of this field of history as is Doctor Bolton, and no scientific investigator could be more objective, more impartial, more fair, or more just. With malice toward none and with sympathy for all, he painted the picture of westward advance, depicting in vivid colors the courage and bravery, the struggles and sacri- fices of the brave men and women who made their contributions to the development [44] of the broad expanse of wilderness which makes the United States the mighty Repub- lic that it is today. The ' Westward Movement, ' said he, is our great national epic; ' and then with an eloquence born of a complete mastery of his theme he pro- ceeded to describe in vivid colors the movement ever onward from the Atlantic Tide- water to the shores of the Pacific. I nder the spell of manifest destiny ' and with that consummate courage and adventure so characteristic of the American ankee. trapper and explorer, lumber-jack, miner, cowpuncher. and farmer, resistlessly pur- sued their way slowly at times and again with tremendous force until the whole west, including the Spanish Mexican empire north of the Rio Grande, was carved into American states. In this great movement the Mormon exodus formed a unique and important incident. Following in the wake of many who had gone before. President Young turned his people from Oregon and Pacific California into the less inviting and more isolated regions of the -Salt Lake Valleys and there planted the nucleus of a great state. He showed the Mormons to be ardent nationalists and patrioticalK devoted the imperialistic doctrine of manifest destiny and an ever enlarging Lnited States. The Mormon migration was thus placed in its proper perspective and given added significance in its relation to our national life. He closed, after holding the vast audience almost spellbound for two hours, with a sincere tribute to Hrigham Young who had directed so wisely the movements resulting in a great state and magnificent educational institutions among which is Rrigham oung Lniversity. His closing words were to the elfect that on that notable dav fifty years ago Hrigham Young had made all present and coming generations his heirs. JNo wonder, ' he said, you revere his memory. President Heber J. Grant followed with a brief though pertinent address in which he expressed great pleasure that Doctor Bolton ' s remarks were not cut short. In fact, he said he could have listened much longer to him. Particularly was he pleased when scholarlv men came and told the truth about the Mormons. With his u-ual earnestness. President Grant bore a strong testimony lo llie (ii inilv of Joseph Sinilh s mission, and ])rorlainie(l as ihe great [4.S1 purpose of the University that of establishing an absolute testimony of the divinity of Jesus Christ. In the afternoon, dedicatory exercises were held in the beautiful auditorium of the new Heber J. Grant Library. President Heber J. Grant himself offering the dedicatory prayer. President Franklin Stewart Harris was felicitous in his intro- ductory remarks and expressed pleasure because of the presence of so many promi- nent educators. Among those who rendered sentiments were President E. G. Peterson of the Agricultural College, Dr. John A. Widtsoe of the church school commission. Apostle Richard R. Lyman, Dr. C. N. Jensen, superintendent of public instruction: President Thomas N. Taylor of Utah Stake, Sister Augusta Grant, wife of President Grant, and President Grant himself. A semi-centennial dinner in the evening concluded the second dav ' s program. Various delegates from outside universities as well as representatives of our own school gave appropriate and significant toasts. The occasion marked the fitting climax to the day. Saturday, October 17th. was reminiscent day. An historic parade representing various phases of interest, past and present, was most successfully conducted. At various historic spots, e. g.. site of Old Lewis Hall, Old Warehouse, etc., reminis- cences were rendered by charter members of the school. In the afternoon on L niversity field enthusiasm ran high when the Brigham Young University football team defeated the team from Colorado College. Colorado Springs, Colorado, in a closely and hard fought game, the score being 7-6. A student body dance in the evening marked the close of the three days ' celebra- tion. The semi-centennial celebration of the founding of the Brigham Young Uni- versity thus passed into history, but the spirit of the occasion remains and prophesies great things for the future of the institution. WM. J. SNOW. [46] LowRY Nelson Assistant Professor of Sociology Director Extension Division B.S., 1916, Utah Agricultural College M.S., 1924, University of Wisconsin The Extension Division The real student-bodv of the Brigham Young University has been extended in recent years to include about five hundred non-resident students. These are students in correspondence courses and Extension classes. Of the latter, the Extension Divi- sion this year has organized fifteen in various communities of Utah and Juab counties. Over eighty courses are offered bv correspondence and students to the number of about two hundred fiftv are at present enrolled. In addition to the academic courses given through ihe Extension Division a num- ber of other important services are rendered by this agency. The cliief purjxise is to carry the various departments of the university out to the communities. One of the important new developments in this direction is the offering of package libraries on a wide variety of subjects. These libraries are free to individuals who are willing to pay the postage both ways. Outlines for women ' s clubs are also |)rovidtMl li tlie Extension Division and any club mav subscribe for these courses upon the pa nienl ol a nominal lee. Ihe Exten- sion Division supplies lecturers and entertainments to organizations throughout the State and organizes the tours for the band, orchestra, glee clubs, quartettes, etc. Leadership Week comes under the ju risdiction of the Extension Division, as well as the organization of leadership weeks away from the institution. [47] The Fifth Annual Leadership Week The Fifth Annual Leadership Week which was held January 25-30, 1926, was a significant event in the history of Brigham Young University. Not onlv was the at- tendance of delegates representative of a wider geographical area. — there being seventy-two stakes represented, — but a vastly larger number of people all over the intermountain and coast region were able to hear by radio the proceedings of the general assembly each day. These proceedings were broadcasted by remote control from radio station KSL located at Salt Lake City. A very significant thing about the program this year was the appearance on the program of the general assemblies of all three members of the First Presidency of the Church. This was the first time sucli has happened. President Nibley remarked that it was the first time he had been in College Hall. The week was characterized by even greater enthusiasm than has ever before been manifested on the part of the people in attendance. This is doubtless due to the fact that the subject matter in the twenty-five courses was semi-technical and was coherent through the week. The tendency has been, since the first Leadership Week, to have one individual give the series of five lectures in each course in order that more inten- sive material might be given. The Leadership Week idea is spreading over the Church. Several of the Junior Colleges have conducted them and in locations where there is no Junior College, stakes are cooperating in the venture. The first instance of stakes conducting leader- ship institutes on a cooperative basis is the Southern Idaho District Leadership Week held for the first time at Burley, in March, 1926. Six Idaho stakes in this section collaborated and four members of the Brigham Young University faculty gave courses. [48] SUMMER SCHOOL Summer School When a visiting professor comes for a summer session to a university with which he has had hitherto no associations, he sometimes wonders whether he will be able to adjust himself sucessfullv to the new conditions and also whether the students and the professors and the community will be willing to take him for what he is and make his visit a pleasant one. I cannot say that my coming to Provo for the summer term ot 1925 was of any particular benefit to Brigham Young University; but certainly the students and the professors and the community all did their share toward making my stay at Provo one of the most delightful experiences I have ever had. In the first place, everybody was natural and cordial from the very minute that I was introduced. It may be debated whether love at sight is possible or only an illusion, but friendship at sight is something that the people at Young have definitely proved is not only possible but entirely normal. That is the first thing to record about the summer session at Provo: it is a thoroughlv friendly affair. From the opening dance to the final picnic, a spirit of good will and cordiality prevailed. May I only record my personal enjoyment of the various excursions under the capable management of H. R. Merrill. But recreation, however necessary it is and however successfully it is pursued, can never be the important thing where a universitv is concerned. It is with pleasure that I testify to the serious interest in scholarship and the determination to uphold university standards that I found among my colleagues at Brigham Young. Coming [50] from Stanford University, I was accustomed to high standards as a matter of course, with a constant consideration of how the standards might he raised still higher. At Young there was tlie same interest in raising tlie standards, but more consideration for the student who was doing his best e en if his best was not very good. In fact, in the ratlier liuman interest which tlie members of the faculty took in their work, in the absence of academic red tape, in the general spirit of informality and friendli- ness without compromise to careless or slovenly work, there was a great deal at Young which reminded me of the Stanford of twenty years ago — the Stanford that I first knew. Perhaps this was because some of the leading professors at Young had been Stanford men. 1 became thoroughly convinced that Young University is pointed in the right direition. and that its future is verv promising. One of the things that encouraged me most was the drive for more books for the librarv. With the splendid new buildings on the iiill — an almost perfect site for a universitv — it would be too bad if the LNSIDE equipment did not keep pace with the OUTSIDE! I under- stand that the library drive was remarkably successful; but a library is not a thing that can be stocked like a fish-pond and left to take care of itself. There must be no end to the effort to build up the library until a generous and ample endowment fund has been provided. It would be unfair to praise the community at Provo and the facultv of Young University and leave aside the element for which the whole university exists — the student body. I have yet to find a more earnest and worth-while set of students to work with than I found in mv classes at Provo and at Aspen Grove. Some of the work which I got from my students was of exceptionally high iualitv. and practically all of it was done in the right spirit. Indeed, as I look back upon my summer now. I rather suspect a conspiracy — a conspiracy in which they had all entered from the genial and efficient President to the youngest stenographer — to make a summer ' s teaching coincide with a summer vacation. HENRY DAVin GRAY. 151] il ry [52] Summer School One seems verily to companion witii the stars, when he steps out of his tent at night during the Alpine term of the summer quarter to inhale a few quaffs of the exhilarating atmosphere of that glorious place. Whatever inspired the beginning of the Alpine summer school we do not know, but certainly Imndreds who have at- tended it will testify that they have never been so inspired with any institution be- fore as they have with it. At this school the characteristic thing is the utter democracy of the group. No class distinction of any kind. The most enjovable feature of the term is the absolute freedom of discussion. Here are aired many of the knotty problems of the day, and u ithout reserve. Everyone seems to know and have confidence in everyone else and tliere is a perfect unreserve in conversation on the vital issues of the time. This for most students and faculty members as well has been the chief delight of this session. The curriculum as is to be expected emphasizes the natural sciences, but there is a l iberal offering of courses in such subjects as education, literature, sociology, art, etc. There is no better laboratory to he found anywhere for the stud of plant and certain forms of animal and insect life. Each vear several new species of plant life have been identified and classified in this scctidii. The range of plant life is re- markable. The advantage of (he Al| ine school lies hieflv in its seclusion from ihc hub-lnib of the world. Here scholars may meditate. Here creative minds may find insjjira- tion and opportunity for uninterrupted contemplation. The artist is ever contronled with scenes which challenge the best he has in him. It is a school for scholars, and if kept such, it can become a sarden of original thought. [53] [54] Classes Masters AsAEL C. Lambert, M.S. B.S., 1926.

For four seemingly short years we have worked and played together. The friendships formed have themselves made these happy years profitable many fold and will be milestones along the pleasant path of our school life, when during the years yet unborn we look back with joyful recollection upon our college days. To the faculty we owe a debt of infinite grati- tude for their untiring efforts and sacrifice to teach us of the bigger and more beau- tiful life. Our studies and more serious occupations have not been unleavened with a goodly share of invigorating student body activities. We began the year by winning the prize for the more ardent support of the Sophomore Loan Fund cause. Our Wild West party, held in fellowship with the Juniors, holds the distinction of being the only one of its type ever held in the history of the institution: and it will proba- bly not be duplicated for a considerable time. Our class play, Captain Applejack. was staged with a smoothness and impressiveness truly indicative of the patient and enthusiastic efforts expended. Our final fun-fest being a Tourists ' Convention, held at Vivian Park, was noted for its absence of flat tires. The commencement of work on a new athletic field on the proposed stadium site is our project. We are hoping that our monument to the school will be a perpetual temple of the true Y ideal of good sportsmanship. We bid farewell to our school during the year of her fiftieth birthday, happy to have formed a part of our Alma Mater in launching her new era of growth. We now go forth into life in search of the best she has to offer, but always with the deter- mination that the true spirit of service to our fellowmen shall ever be our guide and watchword. 158] David R.

The Junior vaudeville, presented by the class, was of such a character as to assure the event a permanent place on the school calendar as a traditional undertaking for the Junior classes. The Class of ' 25 inaugurated the custom of the entertainment two years ago. Frosty Richards, a Junior, won the annual Turkey cross-country run for the third consecutive year, thereby possessing the cup and entitling the class to their third Thanksgiving turkey. The Junior-Senior Wild West party, which has become famous- ly known, proved an outlet for enthusiasm. The wild, free spirit of the old West was represented realistically in costumes, dancing, and decorations. The Juniors have carried the year ' s program through in a credit- Die manner.

Every year the sales receipts are added to the Student Loan Fund. This fund is available for students who are in need of monev for the completion of school. The Class of ' 28 increased the fund materially. The Sophomore fellows adopted a uniform costume, consisting of knickers and sweater. Althougli the practicability of the costume is doubtful, the effect was out- standingly collegiate. A kids frolic, a colonial party, and the Freshmen-Sophomore hike at which the Sophs acted as hosts, comprise the social events of the Sophomore class of 1925-26.

The officers chosen, Max Taylor, president, and Anna Peay as vice-president, realized that in order to function as a group their interests must be of one accord, and a bonfire party at the grove on Temple Hill was the beginning of the process of socializing the class. The next social was a John Alden and Priscilla party at which each guest was uniquely costumed at the dance. Freshie Day at the close of the fall quarter completed the Freshman initiation. With great ceremony the despised green caps were burned and all restrictions were lifted. The Freshmen succeeded in pulling the Sophs through the water line in the tug-of-war. This day proved the greenlings to be a firmly established, unified group. The Freshman Ball was the final event of the day. Originality seems to have been one of the Freshmen ' s assets, judging from other social ventures of the class. A Barnyard party, the Frosh Fools ' Frolic, a party on Utah Lake, and informal mixers given as matinees were successes in which a large majority of the class participated. The Freshmen football team defended the class honors in many encounters. Two Freshmen occupied places on B. Y. ' s basketball string. As there is strength in large numbers, so is there double strength in unity. In the Class of ' 29 is invested the power of raising the standards of Brigham Young University, scholastically, physically, and socially. [102] Krank H. Cutler, Jr. Alfred Oklebcrry Glen Lasson R.

In athletics, they brought honor to the school; and credit is due them in many activities. We predict that they will carry on the good work, and that the graduating class of ' 29 can look back on four successful years. Sensing the importance of the impending year, the Freshmen took great pains to provide themselves with the best helmsman available. After a stormy an d uni(iue election. David F. Hart was announced their president for the Sophomore year. [ll.S riic] ) M hS cfml c The High School The school year of 1925-26 has ushered in new things, and has fostered the old activities at the B. Y. L . High School. The organization has been complete and has worked as a unit, though small, in the accomplishment of activities fostered bv larger high school groups. For the first time in several years basketball began to take its place as it should. Seven sweaters, as awards were given to deserving plavers. The team was successful in winning many encounters with several teams of recognized high standing. This is but an indication of the future ' s activities in basketball. Tiile track work was not fostered particularly, the men succeeded in winning places among the best on the track. In tennis the laurels in the invitation track meet came to the B. Y. L. High School, both in the singles and the doubles. Dramatics attained a prominent place in tlie High School activities. Several one act plays and the competitive play The Touchdown were presented with good suc- cess. Four awards, dramatic pins, were given to the competitive plavers in apprecia- tion of their work. The social life of the high school took the forms of dances, and hikes — all of which were entered into whole-heartedly and were thoroughly enjoved by all. The organization next school year is to include all branches of athletics, debating.- declamation, with an enlarged progam of activity in the phases now entered into.

Let us dip into the past for an hour or so and dwell upon experience now gone, let us view brieflv in our mind ' s eye portions of the eventful year of 1926. Let us imagine (hat we are seated in a large theatre where across the stage go reminders of a successful and enjoyable school year. We wait with impatience, the orchestra has already begun to play, the footlights flash upon the stage, the audience is silent, the curtain slowly rises. Act I — Scene 1.

At the first devotional we meet the student body officers. Owen Romney. our president, is a married man we find out eventually: and that ' s thai girls, so be care- ful. Libbie Cook, Vice-president, is a born leader, and tiie best girl ever, according to all reports. We sing the college song and get better acquainted. We might make mention of the fact that everyone has an opportunity to hold hands at least once during the year if they never do it again. Some take advantage of their opportunities — many in fact — that is why the Handshake is always so crowded and is such a successful affair. We go home perfectly satisfied and rest up for next week.

At his right is seated a sec- retary vho arises and speaks. If you will come to order we will begin with the court proceedings.

Some of the victims rush out hurriedly. One or two linger to bestow icv glances upon the judge and policemen whose faces remained fixed and stern until the last offender passed through the door. Then the stern looks disappear. The stout jur member with the light wavy hair, and the blue sweater winks at the judge, who re- turns the salute, chuckles to himself, and yawns in a bored manner. A bell is heard. (The curtain falls slowly). (Ten Minute Intermission) [126] It is bv tliis time the last of Sejitemher and we still lonliiiue tu lead a dog ' s life. If it weren ' t for the girls and fellows we ' d die off compleU-ly. Speaking of the ladies, they ' re surely a live crowd when they get started, and they began this year with a hello parly. It was a very exclusive sort of affair, for women onlv. that they might get better acquainted with one another. We hikers are full of the old spirit too and in the glorious autumn of 1926 we pack up our valises (I mean our bedding! and hie to the hills to live for a day or two among the wonders of nature, the birds, the bees — I almost said butterflies. We climb to the highest pinacle of Mt. Timp. and view the magnificent sight beneath. Tis a wonderous trip, the autumn leal hike, from start to iinisli. On arriving home we learn that the Colorado Aggies have defeated us in the first football game of the .season. News from Salt Lake City informs us that the band has taken first prize at the State Fair. We retire feeling glad at heart, especially since this date is conference recess and therefore we ' ll have two more days to study our Zoology, Geology, Psychology, and it also gives us a few more hours to spend in sweet slumber? — well, you know what I mean. An important date draws near, October the l()th. the hcginnina; of one of the most glorious wi-eks in the history of the school. We prepare feverishly, anticipate w ildly, and talk e. tensively — and no wonder. We are about to celebrate our birthday. [ 127 I r We ' re not like the old maid, either. We re fifty years young and proud of it. Not such a bad age after all. The alumni return to rejoice with us and to renew acquaintances with old friends w ho used to attend the B. . L . It is with deepest pride that we view the formal opening of the Semi-centenial — the Founder ' s Dav Parade on the morning of Friday. October 16. The procession.led by President F. S. Harris in academic attire and followed by delegates, faculty, alumni, and students, passes down the avenue to the Stake Tabernacle where the opening meetin!! is held. Dr. H. E. Bolton, of the University of California, thrills us with an inspiring address on Brighani oung. a Builder of the est. President Fleber J. Grant pays tribute also to the founder of our school. Brigham oung. a leader, a prophet. Just to add to our already brimming cup. we succeed in winning by one point the football game between Colorado College and B. Y. in one of the most thrilling games of the season. So we shove on the glad rags ' and wear out shoe leather in our favorite haunt — the Ladies ' G Tn. The eventful week closes having been one of the most successful in the history of the institution. Mav the centennial celebration find us progressing with the same degree of assurance, with steadfast gait, with eyes turned up toward great things of the future. [128] There are just a few things we must not fail to mention before the next scene, and they are these: When it comes to winninfr things, there ain ' t no grass on us. We must admit that we lost the football game with Utah on October 31st, but then we won a 36-6 victory over the Western States College iNovember 14. We still have the grand old team. We win again on November 21, this time from Montana State College, and cele- brate by a swing in the Ladies ' Gvm. Thai ' s one place that comes in handy when one wants to work off an over dose ..f enthusiasm or to bring low spirits back to normal again. Just as the old bell pealed out the jiour of 12:30, November 25, a renowned Pleasant Grover set out at a rapid pace to win the cross-country run, and win he did. He brou-ht the turkev to the Juniors for three consecutive years, the greatest record vet estahli lied at tiie Young. Congratulations, Frosty, we must hand it to you.

His speech on Individualism or Team Play? gave him the Levin Oratorical Contest, December 11. His contest- ant was LeGrande Jarman. And we rejoice for ' tis Christmas tide and rush home to hang up our stocking and listen for the jingle of sleighbells on the roof. Be that as it may, remember we are only young once. Christmas always leaves its effects, good. bad. or indifferent. Anyway we find that some of our most prominent young men have lost their hold and fallen before the wiles of some of our fair maidens. Two out of one family show that one must not be outdone. Wliat about it Nina and Gen ? We were not surprised when Bernice flashed a bright light in our eyes, nor when Virginia let us in on the secret. We had to ' phone down to Hedquist Drug to make sure of one affair, but sure enough good news travels fast. And Dean Hoyt lost his secretarv and he ' ll never be the same. (I mean the secretary I . Congratulations ! The drinks on me. We return to find ourselves in the midst of an exciting season, the basketball sea- son. It ' s the time when ladies forget they ' re ladies, when men lose their reserve, [130] when high school girls go rrazy over ihe hasketball stars, wiieii ynii cairt pirk up a paper without reading something about the Cougars, the Bobcats, the L tes. or some other vicious characters. lt s the time when such men as Bob. Buck, Lob. Rus. Stein are in the limelight and are thoroughly enjoying themselves, even if they do have to go home at 10:.30. Well, we almost took the Rocky Mountain Championship and we ' tied in the State. Not a bad record. We ' re proud of you, fellows, cause we have the grand old team! Teams and more teams! The women triangle debaters do their stulV in open ioruni discussion on the question of marriage and divorce. Isn ' t it oild they would assign the girls such an approi)riate topic. After inexhaustive research these girls gave bome most interesting material, some things we had never heard of before. They thoroughly convinced us liial thc had the situation worked out thoniughlv. in llicory at least. During this pause let us take a glimpse into some of the gayest moments ol all — cur dances. How many carefree hours have we spent whirling to rliythmic beat of jazz orchestras. How light our hearts, how delightful our anticipations, how cher- ished the memories of eacli. Just to remind us of the major ones of the year let us glance briefly at each. The iirlain rises. i:u Act III — Scene 1 All is dark along the avenue save where lights blaze forth from the Gym. and the Y Drug. A boy and girl ride up in a limousine? No in a small wagon. He calls inside: Hey there, John, where ' d ya park yer car? Right here, Joe. answers a voice, don ' t leave it outside they might take yer number. Whew, I had a sweet time getting that girl here. She ' s heavier than she looks, and my b ike ' s running badly. Come on, Sally, let ' s dance. Ain ' t the music grand? There! You naughty boy. You ' ve torn my best dancing dress. Oh. what will Mother say? Where ' s your bringing up? You ' re not supposed to fight the girls. Have you tasted the ice cream yet, Harold? Better get some before it ' s all gone. Whee! Mary, look how I can stand on my head. Bet you dasen ' t do that. ' ' We act our parts, we Sophomores, and indulge in an honest-to-goodness kid party. We don ' t have to worry about getting put off the floor or about our short dresses or getting our hair mussed. Oh. and we mustn ' t forget to tell you that Maggie Barton and Louis Sorenson took the prize for being the two best looking kids in the hall. [132] Act III — Scene 2 Extra, Extra. Special edition of the Knicker Knocker. Stand by. folks, one at a time, please. What do you tliink of that picture of the student body (jfficers? Do you think they posed for the special occasion. It looks rather tame to me. Look at my name in blazing headlines. Here ' s hoj ing lollier doe n ' t see this. Oh, . nna, what are you wearing tonight? I can I hardly wait. Dont you think its going to be great? .Mother ' s making me a new dress especially for the Loan Fund Ball. An elapse of a few hours and we find ourselves in the (dd hall dancing to delightful music and laughing and talking, and trying all the latest steps I when Pnd. Miller isn ' t looking). Best of all. we have made someone else happy by giving them the opportunity of remaining with us. ' Tis belter to give than to receive. One of the year ' s most outstanding social events — the .Sophomore Loan Fund Ball. Act III — Scene 3 The night air is rent with noises, twd horsemen gallop up aiul rein in ludorc the Gym. Two others follow. . gun is fired. .A woman screams, a man swears. There is a clinking of spurs, a brushing of shapps. The noise and cotdusion grows louder. (Quick Curtain) We view inside. What? Is this possible? Our place of harmless amusement turned into a wild west cabaret. . bar is seen near the entrance. Men are ilrinking vociferously from quart flasks. A jazz orchestra is banging and many are dancing. As we glance about we note that all are garbed in costumes of the wild west days cowboys, ranchbands. preachers, cabaret dancers, broncho busters. Even girls whom we thought modest are now acting hilarious. Crash — Bang — Screams. rope is twirled in the air. It falls around the neck of a fair cabaret dancer. .A table is pulled out on the floor. She is placed u[)on il and mid slmnis and hnul laughing of men, the girl swings and sways to the syncopated music. [ L 3 1 In one corner of the room two men are playing at cards and drinking at short and regular in- tervals. They slap down the cards and exclaim loudly. They argue. shot is heard. It is an- swered by twenty others. The air is blue. Screams from the women. Crash, bang! The orchestra moans, the dancers whirl, the lights go out. Screams. Can this be worthy upper-classmen? Where are the chaperones? On with t Let us pass the curtain of oblivion over the rest of the scene. Act III — Scene 4 We step into the hall to find that all about us is green. Green light-shades, green drapes, green window trimmings, green dance programs. How fresh! can you guess why? The Freshies and Sophs have become reconciled at last, the battle is done and peace prevaileth. Perhaps they thought green would give a soothing effect and then it ' s the Freshie signal color. After a quarter of many hard days, and yet manv nleasant ones, the Frosh disposed of their beloved headgear and we have heard it said not a few tears were shed at this sad parting. It necessitated the buying of a new hat for many. The Sophs came down from their exalted perch and disputes were forgotten. With this successful evening we close the reign of the Sophs and forget the Freshie rules. Act III — Scene 5 The orchestra plays softly, the curtain rises slowly. We gaze upon two white gates leading into a garden. Over them old-fashioned roses grow, and as we gaze in rapture they are pulled open by four quaint colonial maidens in charming gowns and bonnets. Let us imagine that we have stepped inside and view the scene within. In a dimly lighted garden where flowers bloom everywhere and ferns trail their soft leaves about; in this place of rapture and enchantment we fain would dream our dreams of romance. Let us picture that two lovers of colonial days walk slowly from beneath the pillared terrace and noiselessly swing to the graceful minuet. Let us dream that some fairy runs out from her hiding [134] place in an enormous flower pot. and lo the swell of soft music, trips tlirough this moonlit garden and calls upon her comrades to join her. And then as they vanish, the music calls us and we find ourselves impatient to dream longer. e glide around this parden of wonder to strains of enchanting nuisic. Maidens in colorful and glittering gowns, men in suits of black and white glide by us. Deligliiful perfumes drift about us — it is as if the fairy godmother had returned ti change our pumpkins into coaches, our rags to silks and velvets, and we are the Cinderella who wears the glass slipper and captures the Prince Charming. What matters that tomorrow we must again return to conunon life to us now the outside world is oblivious- we li e in dreams of the present, in an atmosphere of flowering loveli- ness. The social event of the year, the .lunior I ' roni.. takes place on February 12. We congratulate the committee and the Junior Class upon the tremendous success of the event. Act 111 — Scene 6 After a day of dancing and fndic. we ladies spend a good twn and a half hours before the mirror, and after much combing, rushing, and the speaking of a few naughty words brought forth by the intense strain, we finally apply the last drop of brilliantine and sally forth lo call on the handsome shi-ik. Oh. yes. I forgot tii tell you this is (iiils Dav. and tonight we nui t art in the capacity formerly occupied by the felluus. We decorate the hall with ribbons and garlands and dance to the strains of the famous Brienholt-Dastrup. Leave it to the girU lo show the fellows a good time. (Curtain) We take a glimpse into ihe dranialic. throw the spotlight iin some of our stars. Personally, we think we have Hollywood backed off the map when it comes to real honesl-io-goodness actors and actresses. For instance, the Potters. Let s see if we remember.

Ma, where s the morning paper? A fellow can t find anything around this house. ' You gentlemen go right ahead then. I ' ll take care of the waiter. Gee, Ma. I can ' t sleep on that thing. I ' d wake up with a permanent wave in my spine. There ' s oil on it and its ours! This was the hour when we ladies felt sorry for Bob Anderson and sighed every time we met De Alton. The Potters departmental play was a great dramatic success. Who said we couldn ' t act? Act IV — Scene 2 The Seniors show off. .Some say the pirates practiced a month in order to learn how to handle cutlasses gracefully. We noted that they did it well, anyhow. We picture a dark room, a weird light, and a deep voice breaks the stillness. It ' s not my age. but this house that ' s ageing me. ' Tm going out in the world and seek love, adventure, and romance. ' Oh, Monsieur. I beg pardon. Ten thousand pounds for this so sudden intrusion. Ah! ha! there ' s naught like good grog to warm a man ' s inners. Hell, stir your stumps. Aces, all aces. Captain - pplejack that ' s what, with pirates, whiskey, and dizzy blonds. Who says the married men can ' t act? We ' re quite proud of our talent. What say, Steve? Act IV — Scene 3 Excitement waves hot. The beauty parlors are rushed, the make-up box wields charms un- dreamed of. ' Tis ladies ' night.

[ 1: 7 K- iMji aJ MRy iiT Taipr.ifti -1 Tia 1 Act IV — Scene 4 Here we see the winners in the competitive play show their dramatic ability in Goldsmith ' s great drama, She Stoops to Conquer. Once more we are entertained by Robert Anderson, sup- ported by Zoe Hansen. Carl Harris, Connie Osmond, Don Lloyd, and other talented members of the dramatic art department. The scene is laid in England at the old homestead of Mr. Hard- castle and involves a night of errors caused by the mischievous son of the Hardcastles, ' or in other words. Bill McCoard. The play was an entire success. Act IV— Scene 5 The concert master stands with uplifted baton, the curtain rolls back and we are introduced to the prima donnas and the Carusos of the stage. The New York Opera Company has nothing over on us when it comes to putting over grand opera. U Trovatore was the greatest musical suc- cess of the year. With such talent as Rhoda Johnson, Harvey Staheli, LeGrande Anderson, Helen Glazier, and Julius Madsen, it could not be otherwise. We ' re proud of our songbirds and look forward to the time when they shall again appear before us. January 25. Leadership Week not only gives us an opportunity to give to others what we enjoy daily, but to also bring before us some of the greatest men and women of our state. During the week the general subject was Better Teaching of Relgion. and besides the members of our faculty we had the privilege of listening to such men and women as Oscar A. Kirkham. Claude Cornwall. Richard B. Summerhays, Harden Bennion, Anthony W. Ivins, Heber J. Grant, Adam S. Bennion, Susa Young Gates, and her sister Zina Young Card. They delivered many inspiring addreses during the week on specific subjects and also upon the general subject. The debating department brought Ted Baer and George Crocket of Stanford here on January 28 to debate with Asael Lambert and Walter Clark upon the question of the freedom of the present generation, an amusing and clever, as well as a highly intellectual debate. [138] €- rL. More than two thousand visitors returned to their homes Saturday, taking with them the in- spiration of a wonderful week. (three minute intermission I Fehruary finds us looking forward to the Winter Carnival, the date set is the 5lh and 6lh. •Snow fell heavily, very likely because of the efforts put forth by Georkee and ,|oe. who fasierl. prayed, and sent daily entreaties to the weather man. Lovers of the great outdoors had two jolly days skiing, snow-shoeing, racing, tobogganing, sliding, eating, dancing, and sleeping (a few hours). According to the Knicker Knocker, an enjoyable time was had by all. The boys on the force — no. this does not refer to Slim Jim — celebrate the 68th birthday of their director and superintendent. B. T. Higgs. The evening was spent in eating and merrymaking. We burn the midnight oil. n evil day approaches — March 12. The winter cpiarter ends. We visit the Attendance and Scholarship Committee.

The Junior Vodie helped to raise our spirits and we compliment the Juniors upon the clever acting and variety of the program. We hear, much to our delight, that the debaters. Clark and Ilolbrook. are winning decisions continually in Mimtana State. The work of thi- department this year has been untiring and successful. The Irvine Oratorical contest won liy Marie Hacking was an evidence of the good material in this phase of school life. Friday, the 2fitii. the State ' s foremost typists and stenographers visit us. Kichfield runs off with the honors again. The Hotel Roberts is once more the scene of excitement when the girls bold the annual ban- quet on Saturday, March 27. We di,scuss a most vital and entertaining topic —how to court. [139 1 Louise Engar acts as toastniistress. Some very valuable information is given out. very educational — it really should be broadcasted. It seems like no matter what we do the boys must enter in. superficially or otherwise. Ain ' t girls funny jiggers, anyway? The Block Y Club and the Alpha Delta Commerce Fraternity begin their initiations and it actually makes us blush to think about it. Personally, we think Dick Thorne and Snowball Worthington should quit this school flat. They don ' t belong here. They should enlist their serv- ices with Flo Ziegfield and make stars of themselves. You don ' t find figures like they possess every day. Ah, well, they say clothes make the man. Seven days pass by and it still rains, but there ' s always an end to everything and on April 13 we whitewash the Y and dig trenches on Maeser Hill. Blistered hands and aching backs played an important part, but we felt proud of them, nevertlieless. Y Day was a great success this year. The fellows worked harder than they have done any previous year, according to members of the faculty. The girls cooked the eats. Spring has come, at last, there is more than one evidence. The stores begin to order tennis shoes and everybody ' s talking about the prospects for a winning tennis team. We have all the old stars back. Buck and Sanjc Dixon, Knight Allen, Kimball Mcintosh, Lee Buttle, and Max Mangum. The high schools meet at the inter-high school track and relay carnival held on the Y field. The girls also get the athletic spirit and indulge in a day of sports on the hill. The politicians proceed to show us how sweet a disposition may be developed for a short time, at least. The White and Blue parties wage war. The battle ends to show Holbrook and Thompson the victors. After a year of hard work, more or less, a few of our notorieties receive their honors in the form of various awards. [140] And now as the end draws near and we look carefully over the situation, we feel that we have failed to give mention to one of the most important not to say strenous activities of the year. There is not a student in the University but is not well acquainted with all the arts and sciences ol his particular activity. It is carried on regularly, all hours of the day in a place once known as a most respectable study room. Let us glance for a moment into this rendezvous and view some of its most noted haunters. Act V — Scene 1 Time — . ny old time. Place — The hall of learning, the place of our affection. Room D. As the curtain rises we see a large room with rows of desks running west to east. Some Students have already arrived and are seated, studying (for it is yet early I. On the right are swinging doors, further on a now deserted desk. We trust you have the atmosphere. A bell is heard. The doors begin to swing. Enter: Dad Ross. In one hand he carries a brown brief case, containing no doubt, a text- book of accounting, a rare old treatise on the psychology of women, and the latest copy of Life. He sits down. Four girls rapidly gather around. What for? My dear, we are about to listen to a famous discourse on the philosophy of love and courtship, and all that goes with it. That ' s where this young gentleman gets his name — his varied experience and inexhaustive knowledge. . nd mind you. it has nothing to do with age. He ' s the confidant of all the girls, and the idol of many a maidenly heart. But wait — the door swings. Enter: Florence . dams: O dancing sprite, an image gay. to haunt, to startle and waylay. ' ' .She sits down after attracting a good deal of atlenticm. A tall freshman, recently arrived from the wilds of Llintah. in other words. Earl .Marshall, immediately and automatically moves up and begins to talk with her. The doors swing. Enter: Guess. Tall, dark, solitary athlete, (have forgotten his number in the Rogue ' s Gallery). Initials: L. B. — and to his memory we lovingly dedicate the once popular air, Lonesome, But I Have My Eyes on Someone. (Shrill laughter is heard off-stage. Someone is talking loudly . Enter: Phyllis . dams. We are reminded of a verse from Kipling: She ' s a daisy, she ' s a ducky, she ' s a lamb. She ' s an Indian-rubber idiot on a spree; she ' s the only thing that doesn ' t give a dam what happens to the B. Y. faculty. Sweet music reaches our ears. We wait expectantly. Enter: Leda Bradford. The man who hath no music in his soul, nor is not moveii by concord of sweet sound — Yes, practice makes perfect, nor are great heights attained in a few hours. Someone bustles in — a famous palmist. Madame Rachel Holbrook. She sees all, hears all, knows all. For personal interview call the Student Body office. Confessions held in strictest confidence. At this point we are interrupted by the entrance of the cutest boy in school —a man of caliber — Garn Viebb. . lthough very young, he practically has his ediu ' ation. being well versed upon the latest from Life. Judge. and various other periodicals sold by the ' Drug. , nd then. of course, it runs in the family. Enter: Ruth Bennion. Lois Rockhill. Norma Hughes. Helen Mc.Vrtliur. One and inseparable. United we stand, divided we fall. Thrilled to distraction is a term which might be well applied hereto. Always sighing over a new find. The onlooker will kindly note that the disturbance caused in the northwest corner is the result of propaganda spread by .lohn Peterson, famous show-off. Rolled hose, wrist watches, flashy neckties, and the latest line, a specialty, . h, well, kids will be kids, and we love ' em all. The .Seniors arc the unlucky ones they must bid farewell to all this and all that has once been. We wish them success, achievement, happi- ness; theirs to go on and win; and we wait expectantly, look forwanl impatiently to the day when the cap and gown of honor shall be ours. The light grows brighter, the orchestra plays softly the final notes that tell the end of a suc- cessful year. The curtain fall- sluwly. I Ml 1 Ice and Snow Carnival [142] PUBLICATIONS John B. Gessford Editor Gail Plummer Business Manager The Y News The Y News, official organ of the B. Y. U. student body, has a varied history attached to its name. The first periodical published by the students was known as The Pedagogium, which made its appearance in about the eighteenth year of the school ' s organization. Out of this grew The Normal, and The White and Blue. The last named paper was a combination newspaper and literary magazine, until the year 1921, when The White and Blue became the literary magazine and the news- paper was published weekly as The Y News. The aim of the editor this year, has been to give the students a digest of student body activities through the columns of The Y News, and to use the paper as a means for expression of constructive student opinions on affairs pertaining to student body welfare. An efficient business staff has aided in making the paper a success- ful publication. A new plan of organization of the staff was adopted with success. The usual iOutine of choosing the staff members was used at which forty-five contestants tried tor places. Each individual selected has had opportunity for development in every department of the paper. Reorganization of the staff offices at given intervals has made this possible. While the news has been presented in a creditable manner throughout the year, each departemnt was edited by various staff members. The Y News has been an important factor in the welding of a united student body. [144] Y News Staff Tlielma Dastrup P. T.

Clarke Business Manager The Banyan The Golden Anniversary Edition of the Banyan is merely an attempt to record and place be fore the students of Brigham Young University in the most pleasing manner within reach of our means and our ability the choicest bits of our college life. The fiftieth birth-year of our school has indeed been a rich one, and has made possible this enlarged edition of the Banyan. The attempt has been made to carry the his- torical or Pioneer theme throughout the book, however feeble our attempt may ap- pear — the book itself can be its only argument. It is hoped that as the leaves of this publication become soiled with use that the jOy that will come from looking over its contents as the events and faces become ever .nore precious with time will be at least equal to the joy the builders of this volume ihave had in this little service to their fellow students of Brigham Young University.

The Associated omen Students of the Brigham oung University was organ- ized in 1922, and became affiliated with the National A. W. S. at that time. The pur- pose of the association is to unite the interests of the women students throughout the universities and to promote a feeling of comradeship among the girls of the B. Y. U. A national convention of the A. W. S. is held annuallv. Inez Warnick, president- elect, and Dean Nettie Smart were delegates to the meeting held at Los Angeles. Cali- fornia. Problems of the organization are discussed and plans are formulated which aid the representatives in leading the local associations. The Group method of organizing the girls was instituted this year in place of the Little Sister method as previously used. The new plan was found to be a more complete and effective procedure, as the responsibility of the group is equally divided among the Senior. Junior, and Sophomore girls of each unit, instead of the ' Big Sister being the soul sponsor of her Fershmen girls. The Girls ' Annual Banquet, Girls Jamboree, and Girls Day were special activi- ties fostered by the A. W. S. The women students were guests at a reception given by the Faculty Women at the home of Mrs. C. E. Maw. The A. W. S. offers the girls of the institution a field for versatile development, through a varied program. For this reason the A. W. S. is one of the most influential associations at the B. Y. U. [148] Nathan Whetten Emma Snow RAVMONn B. HoLBROCK RoBKRT ANDERSON Direclor Public Service Bureau Brigham Young University fosters the slogan. Training for Service. The Pulilic Service Bureau is a potential factor in presenting opi)ortunities for service, thereby being a part of the training process. Since 1919, when the Bureau was organized, the Public Service Bureau has re- sponded to calls from wards, clubs, socials and schools, supplying each call with a program, the performers being students of Brigham oung I niversity. The purpose of the Public Service Bureau is two-fold: service to patrons and friends of the Iniversitv, and to give the students a channel for expression, making possible the development one receives by doing. One hundred and sixlv-five programs have been presented under llie auspices of the Bureau this year in w iiirh over two hundred students have participated. As the demand for Public Service Bureau programs continues to increase, greater and mure will be the opportunities afforded the students to give expressions to their talents which might otherwise he onlv latent. True education comes in the develop- ment (if native powers. With this in mind we readlK come to the ronrlusion that the Public Service Bureau is a real factor in the education of the itnlividual tor it provides the possibility for developing and expressing the finest of our inherent powers.

Chki ten?en Manager of Forensics Stanford University Debate The most refreshing and at the same time instructive debate of the season was the Stanford versus B. Y. U. debate held at Provo the last night of Leadership Week. The question, the debaters, and the audience left little to be desired. The Stanford men. Mr. Baer and Mr. Crocker, charmed the large audience with their clever presentation of the question, Resolved, That the younger generation ' s new ireedom in thot and action is detrimental to society. The visitors, who had the affirmative, attempted to show that the new freedom is resp onsible in a large meas- ure for the alarming disregard for law. and the breaking down of church and home life: making the home, as they expressed it, a mere telephone booth surrounded by sleeping rooms. The Y team, composed of Walter Clark, and A. C. Lambert, pointed out with unanswerable logic that the younger generation ' s freedom in thought and action has been and always will be responsible for progression. While admitting there were minor features which might be termed undesirable, they maintained that the good so outweighed the bad as to make the modern freedom beneficial to society. It was a no-decision contest. [ 152] 7T 3 1 John Clarke CHlK.ri Mcfiilt Walter Clark Oscar Lyman B. Y.

Apparently the defense was not wholly successful for Professor Lewis of the Lfniversity of Utah, the single adjudicator, gave the decision to the visiting team. The contest was hotly contested and closely attended by an interested audience. The Montana Trip Walter Clark and Raymond 15. Holbrook, accompanied by IJr. Christen Jensen, chairman of the debate council, invaded Montana and brought back two victories out of a possible two. On Monday night, March 1.5th. tiiey debated Inter Mountain l nion at Helena, when they were successful in convincing all three judges that their position was mort ably defended. The following night thev met Montana State Colb-ge at Bozeman. This was their more difficult contest, but they were victorious. The child labor (juestion was used ill bolli debates. [ 1.53 Margaret Swenson Rachel Holbrook Raymond Holbrook Glen Rowe University of Wyoming Debate Laramie. Wyoming On March twenty-second a debating team composed of Oscar M. Lyman and A. Sherman Christensen engaged a University of Wyoming team in an open-forum discussion of the child-labor question. The cowboys advocated federal regulation of child-labor, claiming that thru such regulation the national government could cooperate with the state governments in the fight against the child labor evil. The Provo men maintained that federal regulation is unnecessary because the states are already solving the problem; and further, that because of the nature of the child-labor problem and the nature of our government, federal regulation would be undesirable. Professor Elmer Miller, of the council of debate, accompanied the debaters to Laramie. [154] B. Y. U. vs. University of California The University of Southern California is usually represented by strong and well- balanced debating teams. This year ' s traveling team which appeared here March 14th was no exception. It was maintained by some liiat the California men were the strongest debaters to appear ujioii the local platform since the B. Y. U. versus Prince- ton debate of 1921. At an rate the arguments over the proposition, Resolved : That war should be declared by a direct vote of tlie people except in cases of invasion or rebellion. was iiiterestinsr and illuminating. Mr. Walter E. Clark and Mr. Ravmond B. Holbrook defended the affirmative of the resolution for the Y, in creditable manner. No de- cision was made. B. Y. U. vs. College of the Pacific Resolved: That Congress should be granted the power to regulate child labor was the question for the very interesting debate between Brigham Young University and the College of the Pacific. Glen Rowe and Clifton Moffit, defending the affirma- tive, lost to the experienced Pacific team by a two to one decision. The debate was close, the outcome being doubtful until the final decision was read. 155 Jewel Linebaugh Eva Wilson Ethel Lowr) ' Women ' s Triangle Debates In line with the general trend towards the English System, the Women ' s Triangle debates this year were conducted on the no-decision plan. The aosence of judges did not seem to make the debates less interesting; but rather tended to bring the debaters in closer contact with the audiences. UTAH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE DEBATE The Misses Margaret Swenson. Rachel Holbrook. and Esther Eggertsen met a women ' s team from the Agricultural College at Logan on the following question: ' Resolved, that the L nited States should adopt a uniform system of marriage and divorce laws. The Y upheld the negative. The Logan debaters called attention to the variety of state marriage and divorce laws; and the ineffectiveness of even rigid state laws because of divorce traflSc to states having low standards. They maintained that federal control of marriages and divorces would solve the problem. The Y debaters divided their attack on federal regulation into three issues: 1. The social nature of the question minimizes the importance of legislation. 2. The states are better qualified than the national government to regulate mar- riage and divorce. 3. Greater evils would result from national control than from state control. It was a high class contest. UNIVERSITY OF UTAH DEBATE Federal Regulation of marriage and divorce was advocated bv a women ' s team composed of Eva Wilson. Jewel Linebaugh. and Ethel Lowry. They maintained that thru federal regulation alone could the evils resulting from unwise marriages and unnecessary divorces be done away with. The debate was informal and interesting. [ 156 ] MUSIC William F. Hansox Head of Music Department Melvin Brimhall Student Manager of Music Music Department Since the dawn of the race, music has been recognized as one of the foremost factors in civilization and refinement. Its influence has gone far in the uplifting of humanity. It is one of the choicest gifts of God to man. Music enriches life, and adds beauty to the world. In the home circle it binds closer the bonds of love and affection. It brings contentment and happiness, and it throws about the fireside a protection against many of the evils which creep into modern life. It keeps the boys and girls at home. It directs their thoughts into wholesome channels, and stores their minds with thoughts for the good. To the community music is ever helpful. It promotes good will and fellowship. It engenders uplift and encourages true culture. By its love for and appreciation of music a commonwealth can be largely judged. — Deseret News. Realizing the value of music in the lives of people and in promoting the well being of a community. Brigham Young was zealous in encouraging its development among the pioneers. He secured the best talent available to direct the music of the church and did everything possible to stimulate an appreciation for the best in this art. Some of the great masterpieces in oratorio, opera, and orchestra were presented in the pioneer days; and music became one of the chief sources of entertainment. It is no wonder then that we find music playing so important a part in our school life today. With the back-ground of music appreciation as established and fostered by Brigham oung and his followers, we could hardly expect to find it otherwise in the school that bears his name. Brigham Young University has always been noted for its superior music department and this year has been no exception. Under the able direction of Professor William Hanson, some very creditable things have been done. Starting with a bang at the beginning of the year, the M usic Department has been very active in providing a large variety of programs and concerts for de- votional and other exercises throughout the year. The five choruses have been combined into one large chorus on several occasions; and at Christmas time this large choir of two hundred and fifty voices rendered very successfully the sacred cantata The King Cometh in the Utah Stake Tabernacle. The vocal and instrumental contests were events long to he remembered for the high order of musicianship that characterized them. Besides the medals offered by patrons of the school, schol- arships were given in vocal, piano, violin, and cornet by members of the Music Faculty to the winners of these contests. Vocal and instrumental recitals were given by students of Music Faculty members which dis- played talent that is rarely found in a school the size of Brigham Young University. In summing up the Music Department as a whole we can unflatteringly compliment its faculty on the achievements attained. From small ward programs to the more pretentious undertaking of producing erdi ' s most popular grand opera. 11 Trovatore, success has crowned each endeavor. [158] E Scenes jrom It Truriilore I 159 The Competitive Opera The greatest achievement of the Music Department during the year was the production of Verdis II Trovatore. This was the first grand opera attempted at Brigham Young University by students; and naturally, it seemed very presumptuous. Notwithstanding the opposition voiced by many at the outset. Professor Hanson courageously held out in his opinion that it could be suc- cessfully produced by the students; and after the try-outs all doubts were dispelled. The whole- souled and untiring effort put forth by Professor Hanson was an inspiration to the members of the cas t, and together they worked harmoniously sacrificing many pleasures in order to make the opera a success. Individualistic starring was lost in the splendid team-work which character- ized the efforts of the cast and as a result it was difficult to pick out any outstanding performer. They were all excellent. The opera was produced twice in College Hall before capacity houses, once in Spanish Fork, and once in American Fork. The principal characters sang choice bits from the opera over Radio station KSL from Salt Lake City and many appearances were made before various clubs and social organizations in and about Provo.

During the month of November the band toured northern I tab and Idaho, giving successful concerts in the most important towns along the way. Since then a number of exceptionally fine concerts and entertainments have been given in College Hall and for the City of Provo, creating a very favorable impression among the students and citizens of Provo. During the spring quarter a tri]) as taken into sdullicrn I tab uhich pro ed very successful. We are proud of our band as we are of our other musical organizations, but tiie band occupies a nni(pii ' |)lacc in student activity which it only can fill. VVIien student spirit ebbs low as an opposing team gains some advantage it is the band that stirs us to renewed courage and spurs the team on to increased effort. The tide of many a game has been turned into victory by the stirring strains of a rousing selection. Tt is doubtful that another colli-ge band in America can be found that has won so much distinction as has the iirigluun Dung Iniversity Band and the name of Robert Sauer as its director is closely iinkid uith its aciiic enu ' nts. Ifil 1 Orchestra Tlie Brigliam Young University Concert Orchestra created a profound impression and made for itself a secure place in the hearts of the music lovers of the community when it ga e its initial concert in the Stake Tabernacle in the autumn. The first movement of Schubert ' s Lnfinished Symphony, Dance of the Hours ' from La Gioconda. and Elgar ' s Pomp and Circumstance were the outstanding orchestral numbers on the program. Mr. J. W. McAllister, tenor, was the soloist and sang in splendid style, My Jean ' by Mr. Robertson and Holy Night by Adam, the or- chestra accompanying both nimibers. During Leadership Week the orchestra furnished a program for the visitors. Max Thomas, cornetist, was the soloist. At the early spring concert, Wm. R. Lym of the Cleveland Symphony was fea- tured as soloist on the English Horn and Oboe. The orchestra gave an especially good interpretation of Mr. Robertson ' s Valse Brilliante ' and the Mignon Overture by Thomas. The final program of the vear was given in May in conjunction with the Young Gleemen. By request alse Brilliante ' was repeated. The orchestra also gave good account of itself in the popular overture. The Merry Wives of W indsor ' by Nicoali. The oung Gleemen and orchestra together gave an impressive rendition of Tosti ' s Good bye. Everv member of the Orchestra has worked diligently toward the Symphonic ideal. As a whole the organization has ))roved that Brigham oung I niversity can maintain an instrumental ensemble that is worthy to interpret many of the master overtures and symphonies. This year the orchestra has been under the baton of Professor LeRoy J. Robertson whose fine sense of musicianship has been injected into all of his work, resulting in finished and professional like performances. [162] Male Glee Club The Male Glee Club, under tlie direction of Professor Hanson, gave several suc- eesslul concerts during the year. As well as appearing in College Hall they per- formed in several of the surrounding towns, creating very favorable impressions on the part of all who heard them. Ladies ' Glee Club The Ladies ' Glee Club appeared to good advantage in concert and program num- bers during the year. The organization was well balanced, having a membership of thirty-six of the best female voices in school. Their work was always melodious and iileasinji.

In order to increase interest in this sort of music and to stimu- late a keener appreciation for it. the club known as the Young Gleemen was organ- ized. It consists of sixteen voices admitted to membership on a competitive basis. This insures an organization of the best male voices in school. The club has existed this year independent of the Music Department but the excellent services of Professor Le Roy Robertson of the Music Faculty were secured to direct it. The constitution governing the club was drawn up in such a way as to perpetuate the organization through succeeding years and there is no question but that next year some very wonderful concerts will be given by it. This year effort has been con- centrated on building up a repertoire and in blending the voices and not until May 17th was the initial performance given. This was given in connection with the B. . U. Concert Orchestra in College Hall before a large and very appreciative audi- ence. It was a great success and resulted in many invitations for subsequent appear- ances. [164] DRAMATICS T. Earl Pardoe Head of Dramatic Art Department Harold Harward Student Manager of Dramatics The Dramatic Art Department Four major productions were successfully presented by the Dramatic Art Depart- ment under the direction and supervision of T. Earl Pardoe. The Potters, an amusing portrayal of modern family life, launched the dramatic season. Ma Potter, coveting the Rankins luxuries, and Pa Potter ' s attempt to gratify her wishes, develop the major theme of the play. A love story with its thrills and pathos is cleverly woven through the plot. One of the features of the depart- ment plays this year has been the large number of participants. The Potters in- cluded a cast of forty members. The unique performance of the year ' s entertainments was the first annual all- boys production, The College Widow. The cast was chosen a la Shakespeare, e. i., the cast was composed entirely of men. A debonair college widow was con- cocted from one of the sterner sex. The athletic girl, Bessie Tanner, would have been mistaken for any college flapper, as far as appearance was concerned. The all-boys play as an annual event is welcomed as a yearly fun-fiesta. Profes- sor Pardoe is already making plans for a similar production next year. Oliver Goldsmith ' s greatest play. She Stoops to Conquer, was chosen as the student body competitive play. This production was the most diflicult of all of the plays attempted, but was unusually capably presented. The quaint costumes of the period were charming, and the clever dialogue made the play doubly interesting. The Senior Play. Captain Applejack, directed by Camille Crandall and Libbie Cook, under Professor Pardoe ' s supervision, was presented to a house filled to ca- pacity. The subtle humor and mystery met with popular approval. Ambrose Apple- john and his romantic, fanciful ideas caused the development of complications which make the play what it is. In addition to the more important productions, numerous one act plays were given by the Play Production Class. A drama library was begun in the Little Theatre. Professor Pardoe has outlined many new features to be instituted in the depart- ment. The department is increasing in size, an indication of its popularity, proving that the play ' s the thing.

The resuU of the announcement for candidates for the Banyan celebrity contest was that more than twenty petitions for the most beautiful lady contest were handed in. And anyone could be justly proud of the array of beautv chosen to be representative of the best we have. From tiiose for wiiom jtetitions were handed in. six were chosen by the popular vote of the student body. The six chosen were run in the contest during the sales week of the Banyans. The number of votes to be given was based on the amount paid by the voter on a Banyan. In this manner, the three represented here were chosen. They appear in order ol the stu- dents ' choice. The response was equally as strong for the other part of the contest. For both popular lady and ])opular man. a great number of petitions were handed in from which three of each were chosen in the same manner as the six most beautiful ladies were chosen. From the three most popular men and the three most popular ladies, the most popular lady. Carol Dunn, and the most popular man, Ezra Taft Benson, were chosen on the basis of the amount paid on Banyans. The contest this year was distinctive in that tlie men folk in the school, because of their success in taking the parts of the more dainty kind, became boastful of their beauty and popularity as well. The result was that Sister Jane Bony Fuller was run in the contest for most beautiful lady and Sister Flora Dick Thorne for most popular ladv. whose pictures have been reserved for the Bunyon I page 2801. Another unique feature of the contest was lluit ni i ing pirluns were taken of each of the contestants and thrown on the screen throughout sales week at each show at the Strand Theatre. The fortunate result of the two unique features of the contest was that enthusiastic interest was taken throughout the contest making it among the most successful contests ever held. 1177 LUCY MORGAN [178] LUCILLE ROMNEY [ 179] NORMA ALLEN [180 J CAROL DUNN Most Popular Lady [181] EZRA TAFT BENSON Most Popular Man [182] Athletics Coach Elcene L. Roberts Coach Charlks ,1. Hakt The Coaching Staff III looking over the athletic history of the Brighani Young Universil there is one name that is outstanding. There is hardly a phase of physical development that does not have back of it the name of Coach E. L. Roberts. The invitation meet and relay carnival, and the Timpanogos hike are two of the traditions which he has founded, cultured and raised into institutions of fame throughout the Rocky Mountains. Under his direction, football in the Church school was reborn after a two-decade discontinuation. In four years he has developed a football team that is rated among the first five in the conference. Clinton Larsen, Alma Richards, in the high jump: Lyman Brown, in the distance events, and Dave Pearce in the sprints, are products of this institution and of Roberts of which we can long be proud. The success the public sees in a coaching staff is the winning of games, but the real goal every true coach strives for is to instill in the hearts of his own men and the minds of the opposing aggregations, that, after all. the great thing that counts is to treat the other fellow square. The men not onlv obtain the valuable experience of the contest, hut when they emerge from the institution thev carry with them a rich portion of s|)ortsnianship. lor which no one oi them would exchange millions. Working in close co-operation with Director Roberts is Chick Hart, a graduate of the Ltah Agricultural (College, and formerly director of the Smith-Hughes project work and coach in the Tclnn High School. Jn his college work. Hart was outstanding as a track man and football player, and was familiar with the other sports b association. His best work this year has proba- bly been done in these two lines of competition, as is shown b the improved status of oung Lniversity as a track and football school. [183] Theodore Tobe Rilev Graduate Manager of Athletics Joseph C. Nelson Student Manager of Athletics General History of Athletics The Brigham oung L niversity was born fifty years ago, and from that time until a decade ago. an unbreakable foundation was laid. Ten years ago, or less, a new life pervaded the institution: a period of growth seized upon it: buildings were built: and football, the greatest of all collegiate competition, was reborn. Great, too. has been the growth of the institution in physical achievement. Al- though Brigham oung has not taken every title awarded, or possibly even her share, it is true that this school has been a potent factor in bringing forth the supreme efiforts of the opposition. For two years the White and Blue were the holders of the state basketball title, and one of these years succeeded in taking the conference championship. The dope- sters all favored awarding the third consecutive title to the Cougar lair, but tliev did not consider that shrewd man from the North. The season started brilliantly. Young taking the first series of contests. Then the disappointments began. First Romnev brought his Farmers down and split up a series: then we went to Bozeman and were chewed up twice by the Bobcats. L tah came to Provo and split up another series. The standings then showed that the only hope for the Cougars was to take both games at Logan. Thev went north with that intention, and took the first game decisively. They started to do the same on the second, but something went wrong and in the last half the Aggies overtook the lead and won, robbing Young of the Western Division title and possibly the conference title. Young ' s fighting spirit avenged her when the Bobcats came down here for the final series of the season, by taking with ease, both contests. This gave the Cougars a tie for the state title, but the Aggies took the conference division title by virtue of their three out of four wins over the Bozeman squad. One group of consistent training, unnoticed, and uncheered group of men, work- ing faithfully from the opening of school until the state meet, brought to Y oung the only championship won by the school during the entire vear. This group was the swimmers. [184: Win. J.K.niplit Owen T. Rnmney ATHLETIC COUNCIL Eugene L. Roberts Keifer Sauls Thendoie Riley Harrison R. Men ill E.S.Hinckley C. LaVoir Jensen Mat activities this season also gave Youiie; somewhat of a name in tlie Western sport realm. In a dual meet at the opening of the season, the Cougars scored twenty points to seven against Utah, and in the division meet, Young placed second, scoring nine and one-half points. The Aggies scored fourteen and one-half pomts, L tah scored three points, and Montana failed to score. Because of the lack of diversified material, the track season scores do not repre- setit much of a showing, hul from the standpoint of scores alone. A careful analysis will show that from the iitlic southern school some of the best track men of the con- ference have been developed this year. Brigham Young invariably had hiah-pomt man in the state and dual meets, and the same man came very nearly placing high in the conference meet. A quarter-miler and half-miler. a weight man, and a high jumiier, all of conference caliber, have been discovered in the greenling class of the institution. The hist annual sjiriiig cross-counlr run. under the direction of the I li ,-ical Kducation Deparlment, was taken by -Frosty i icliards. the man who took the lall run, also. The winner of this race is awarded a student body block ■■ . The tennis season brought to us a situation and a result directly comparable to the basketball season. The team had held the title for two years, and with the same men back, with one or two exceptions, it looked as though it would be a clean sweep, but after a hard fought battle the Utes took the title. After all. it is not, Did you win? but, how did nu play? shown the Cougars to be as scrappy and as clean sports as there ence. This season has re in the confer- 18.3 1 Stadium The idea of building a Stadium on the west slope of Maeser Hill was conceived in 1923. Both the Class of ' 23 and that of ' 24 made the Stadium their project, which of course gave the movement considerable momentum at the outset. The donations of both of these classes were verv liberal. Again, the Class of 26 made the commencement of the track and field phase of the work their project: and their contribution, too. was a very substantial one. The movement has been generously reinforced by regular contributions from the Students ' Supply Association. The net proceeds from the Association have probablv been the largest financial factor in promoting the movement. The site upon which considerable work has been done is indeed an outstanding situation for the construction of a Stadium. Manv visitors of stadia have declared the site to be one of the most beautiful in the countrv. The view of the mountains and the lake can not be easilv duplicated anywhere in the land. But perhaps the most promising feature of the site is its economic adaptation to the purpose of building a Stadium. Nature could hardlv have planned a site on which so little work is necessary. No, the Stadium is not a mere passing dream. The idea has come to stay. Al- ready a considerable portion of the work has been done. The drainage svstem has been put in. and the work of clearing the site is in operation now. It is probable that with two more classes making the Stadium their project, combined with the great deal of work that can be done by the students themselves, the project will be completed.

[ 187 1 [188] FOOTBALL Captain Edwin Tuggle Kimball Captain-elect Richard Dick Thorne Eddie Kimball The success of this year ' s team of grid athletes was due considerahle to the good example which was placed before the team by their captain. Eddie Kimball. Play the game and keep still about it, seemed to be the motto adopted by the helmsman of the eleven. It is not what a captain can say that does the trick. But the kind that say their words by doing the right thing at the right time and having all kinds of sportsmanship throughout all contests are the ones who will make the spirit of the game just a little higher than it was when they entered. And this, after all. is the duty of the captain. Eddie comes to us from Jordan High School. In 1922 he took the position of end on the Frosh team. It only took him one year to convince those who watched that he was a son of the sod. He has been in football ever since then and the last year of his career he was captain of his crew, the ambition of all who enter the sport. Being a friend to the whole team and demanding a respect which prompted all to follow, made Eddie one of the Cougars ' most successful cap- tains. Captain Elect Thorne Although he is only a Junior next year, the captain-elect of the 1926 football squad has made a very enviable record. With four years of high school experience at the Springville High School, one year of Freshman football and one year of varsity experience, he seems to be well-fitted to lead the squad through a very suc- cessful season. In addition to his football experience, he has been the cheermaster for the past year, and was assistant cheermaster in 1924. Because of his genial, cheerful attitude toward all of the fellows wherever he goes, and because of his manly fighting spirit. Dick is well armed to lead the Cougar eleven through a greater football battle than B. Y. U. has yet had. [190] Varsity Football The B. Y. L. entered it? fourth year ol idiifereiice fciotball favored by critics to grace either tlie hottom or next to the bottom berth in tlie percentage column. A determination and figliting spirit to gain a phue among the conference elevens, which would demand at least some recognition, took hold of the men. The Cougars had a hard schedule to meet. No easv early season games nor non- conference contests had been arranged. The Big Blue Team had to break into com- petition with a team playing its third game. Within four weeks the Cougars met the three strongest teams in the conference. With the difficulties of the schedule thor- oughly in mind, the coaches and men set to work to put the Y on the football map. Complete reorganization of the coaching staff added interest to the sport, ( oach Roberts, while not a football player of much renown, was expected to build the finest team the school had ever had. People everywhere recognized the coaching ability of this man. And with the assistance of Charles J. Hart, one of the finest players the conference has ever produced, sport fans expected much of the Y. The coaches returned from a summer in the east where they spent twelve weeks studying football. Thy introduced a new style of play in the school; a style so dis- tinct in the conference that soon it became known as the Roberts-Hart System. ith but three weeks practice in which to adjust to the new system of the coaches, the M.

With the exception of a few splendid end-runs by Dixon, the Y failed to make any noticeable gains. In each quarter of this half the Aggies put themselves in position by forward passes and then scored on an off- tackle buck. The third quarter saw the Y at its best. The Blue Team held their opponents in their own territory most of the time; and with a series of beautiful forward passes succeeded in getting into position, and Dixon scored on a line buck. Colorado had the edge in the fourth quarter. At the end of the game the Cougars were marching down the field via the forward pass route. A poor catch of a perfect pass to a man all alone kept the Y from scoring. The Cougars were clearly outclassed by the polished machine which the Aggies sent against them. Later results, however, made the Y ' s work against them very spectacular. The Aggies defeated every other team thev met and won the conference championship. ■-.

The game was played before a large crowd of alumni and friends. No team held anv distinct advantage at any time. It was a game between the fine open field work of the Cougars and the hard and fast line play of the Tigers. Early in the game Captain Kimbal l got his arm severely wrenched and was replaced by Worthington. On his first play Worthington snatched a pass which a Tiger back attempted to ground and raced twenty-five yards for a touchdown. During the remainder of the game the Y was very ineffective against the strong Tiger line. Colorado College, however, made several first downs and finally suc- ceeded in scoring a touchdown on an end run. Colorado College presented one of the finest lines met by the Cougars during the whole year. Their close defense was the feature of their play. Brown, captain and quarterback, was the greatest ground gainer in the game. The forward piissing and end running of Dixon and the splendid defense and offense of Howard at tackle were features of the Y ' s playing. [199 J UTAH AGRICLLTLR. L COLLEGE GAME U. A. C., 14: B. Y. U., On October 24th the Cougars visited the fields of the Farmers at Logan: and returned with some experience but no score. As a result of two beautifully executed forward passes the Farmers succeeded in putting over two touchdowns and one goal. The were not outplayed as much as tlie score would indicate. ' uring most of the game the ball was in the center of the field. Several rallies and rushes of the Y were stopped just in time to prevent them from scoring. The Y defense stiffened on two critical occasions and held the Farmers when a score seemed eminent. The defense presented by the x ggies seemed to puzzle the Youngsters during the entire game. Dixon ' s end runs and a few of Knudsen s line bucks were effective against the Aggie line. It was the Y forward passing game which proved most effec- tive, and could possibly have been used more to an advantage. The work of Leddingham and Thomas of the Aggies was very outstanding. Dixon was the Y s big ground gainer. It was in this game that Knudsen first found himself. [200] v 1 jk..«M_Ma ' UNIVERSITY OF UTAH GAME U. OF U., 27; B. Y. U.. October 31st brought the Utes from Salt Lake. The U smashed, passed, and kicked themselves to a decisive victory. It seemed that the Cougars were completely at a loss to meet the Utes ' maneuvers during the first half. In the third quarter the Cougars rallied and held their ferocious opponents score- less while they came within scoring distance on two occasions. In the first play of the game two men were knocked out. Hinckley, the scrappy center, was fallen on and received internal injuries which confined him to bed for several weeks. Taufer, the big Utah end, received a very bad tear on the hand. After Taufer ' s removal it was a show with the leading actor, the versatile Cal Boberg. He punted, dropkicked, passed, and ran with the ball in a way which has seldom been seen on the Y campus. The Y had no outstanding performer. It was a team of eleven men fighting doggedly to stop a highly perfected and polished machine. [201 I WESTERN STATES GAME B. Y. U.. 39; W. S., 6 With a determination seldom equaled, to upset the dope and trample the Cougars under, the Western States team came into Prove on November 7th. This team presented many tactics which were new to the Provoites. On straight football the Y was the whole show, and this was the onlv method on which they were sure of gaining. Forward passing honors, particularly for the first half, went to the Western Staters. Several beautiful passes yielding over 100 yards from Gillmer to Atkin were completed in this session. On one of these the Staters scored. Between the halves the Y coaches worked out a defense which completely upset the Coloradoans, and the last half was all the Cougar ' s. In this game Dixon and Knudsen shined in the Y backfield. With end runs and line bucks this duo. with the aid of the best line work given by the Y team during the season, walked down the field for a score almost at will. [202] MONTANA GAME B. Y. U., 16: MONTANA, 7 Climaxing a very successful football season, the Cougar squad walloped the Montana Bobcats in a spectacular game. The final score was 16-7. The home team scores were made in the early part of the game, the first one com- ing as a direct result of a 10-yard run made by ' Buck Dixon. Dixon failed to con- vert goal. The second touchdown was the result of a constant and heavy-hitting line attack, featured by the smashes of Knudsen and Dixon. The Bobcats also made their first score in the second quarter of the game. At the beginning of the half neither team seemed to make any headway, tiie de- fense on both sides tightening down as a wall. Young, failing to make any ground in straight football, had to resort to place kicking. After three trials Dixon finally converted one, making the total 16 to 7 for the Cougars. No more scores were made. Seven fighters of the blue jersey turned in their suits for the final time after this game. The men were: Buck Dixon. Kid Romney. Cecil Merkley. Swede Swenson, Bob Howard. Fred Hinckley and Eddie Kimball. Dixon. Howard. Kimball and Merkley played probably the best game of their careers. Hinckley had been previously dis- abled. [203 1 I Frosh Football Coach Phil Jackson and his Freshman football squad have done a very creditable piece of work this year. Approximately twenty men came out to practices faithfully, eighteen of this number making their sweaters. To begin the season right, the Greenlings took a trip to Snow College, and un- mercifully defeated the Normal school team. The score was 52-0. The next two games resulted in defeats for the Cougar ' kittens. but were some good exhibitions of the manly art of football. Utah defeated them 19-7, and Idaho Tech took them down 20-17. The Idaho game was probably the most spectacular game of the season. It was in this game that Ivie, of Salina. received a fractured skull. The only score the Provo lads made was in the third quarter when Wright snatched a fumble and left the field for an eightv-yard run for a touchdown. A banquet was held at the conclusion of the season to wliich every man who had been out was invited. Sweaters were awarded by the class to the following players: Captain Reed Colvin. Donald Dixon, Eldred Collins. Joe Buys, Gray. Scovil, Owen Rowe, Percy Anderson. Les Wright. Dick Johnson. H. Simmons, LaDell Sessions, George Corbett. Alton Giles, Dave Condon. Vern Oviatt. James Ivie, and Earl Bessinger. [204] BASKETBALL The Basketball Season Opening a fast and semi-successful basketball season, the Cougar squad went to Salt Lake to play the first series of games against the University of Utah. The Prove team succeeded in taking both games. The first game, played on Friday. January 22, was a thriller from start to finish. The Redskins took an early lead, but were evened by the visiting felines in a fast rally near the end of the first half. The half ended with Young in the lead, 13-10. Due to injuries to some of the men the coach was forced to substitute several times in the second half. F. Dixon, Howard, and Romney were somewhat off-color, and late in the half Don Dixon was put in the game. Up to the last minute of the second half the game had been a see-saw, with the Cougars slightly over-balancing the Indians, but with a flurry of lightning-like action, Utah succeeded in gaining a one-point lead. The Provo crowd sighed, the Salt Lake supporters went wild. A fast passing play was put in motion, the Cougars getting possession of the ball from the tip-off. The play was blocked, and, as a last resort, Don Dixon was forced to shoot from center-floor. The shot was perfect, and before the ball could be centered again the game was over. Score: LItah. 21; Young, 22. The Saturday game was not much less thrilling decisively in favor of the Provo team. This game vv and incidentally both scores were run higher. The Cougars resorted to a system of rhythmical passing which completely baffled the rather inexperienced Utah squad. The passing and shooting of both teams was lightning-like, but was a little in favor of the Young squad in accuracy of shots. Score: Utah, 31; Young, 35. although it was a little more s featured more by lona;-shots. [206] Fred Buck Dixon Goi.DE Stein Romney The first home games of the season were against the Aggies, and were played on Friday and Saturday. January 29 and 30. The first game started yery eyenly. the Cougars making the ' first score, the Aggies then forging ahead ol them then a t.e.ng of the score; but just before the end of the first half the tarmers started a going streak which netted them eight points and which practically won the game for them.

But the margin was too great. Phenomenal shooting and fast, accurate passing gave the Aggies a lead of seyenteen point.s placing the score at 36-19. At this point the second string was run in. Ihis squad, inostiy Freshmen, began a fight that will be long-remembered, and although they could not close the gap, they played the visitors evenly, scoring 12 points to the Aggies l. .

As in the first game, the Farmers led at the end of the first hail, but llu time only by a margin of three points. The spirit of the onlookers had N aned an.l the outcome was speculatively the same as the previous night. A new team came on the floor after the period between halves: and with the risin- score the cheers of the students became more and more enthusiastic, completely losin- bounds when the felines conquered the lead of the !• aimers. Once again in the second half, the score was tied, at 21-21. i ul Imm that time on the Youngsters ■rraduallv pulled away. Score: Aggies, 32: Young. 36. [207] - ' . Owen Rowe Reed Lob Coluns Don Sank Dixon Montana Games — Bozeman Series The most severe jolt of the season was given when the Young cats took their trip to Montana, on Thursday and Friday, February 4 and 5. Montana won both games decisively. Several good reasons were given; the strangeness of the floor, the glass bankers, and the unusual officiating seemed to rob the Cougars of their agility. The first game was featured by much erratic shooting and rough playing. Young went in to win and it appeared that they might. The score at the end of the first half stood 19-9 in favor of the Provo team. In the second half, however, the beef and bone of the Bobcats was too niucli for them. In the second half, Montana seemed to hit its stride, while the Cougars seemed to tire. Their passes went wild and their shots rebounded straight. The Bobcats did not lead by a very large margin, being only one point ahead until about two minutes before the end of the game. In this last period they made two baskets. Score: Montana, 36; Young, 31. The Friday game, the rougher one of the two. resulted disastrously for Young. Montana took an eight-point lead in the first three minutes of the game, and held the lead throughout. Much shooting was done bv Montana, and Lady Luck seemed to be with them, while when the Cougars did get a chance to shoot, it was of no avail. The Bobcats scored heavily in t he second half, unmercifully hammering the Cougars ' attempts at defense. Score: Montana, 41; Young. 18. [208] 4 Russell Russ Swenson Forward Orin Bob Howard Guard V. of U. Games — Provo Series Sweet revenge was Utah ' s in the first game of the Provo series, played on Friday and Saturday, February 12 and 13. Stung by the loss of the first series of games on their home floor, the Redskins came out upon the Cougars with all the viciousness of true Indians. Carrving the Young hoopsters off their feet willi a uliirlwiiid attack, the Salt Lake aggregation amassed a IH-point lead by the close of the first liaH. this after Young had led at the start. Roberts ' rest period lecture took full effect upon the Cougars, spurring them lo such great action that before they could be stopped they had garnered 17 points. During this time Utah had made three points, the result being a one-point lead for Young. Utah called time out. to stop the rally, and were successful in their contem- plated action. This was near the close of the game, and Utah easily piled up five points before the Y could rally again. Score: Utah. 39; Young, 34. In the Salurdav game the Cougars found their old form and easily took the fight- ing Redskins to defeat. I ' tah started the same dashing attack used the night before, and took an early lead. Young promptly started slipping the guards down the sidelines for repeated scores and had soon overtaken the small llah lead. The end of the period showed Young to he in the lead. 2()-M. ilh a belated rallv in the second half. I tah came within three points of catching the felines. This concluded the scoring lor the Utes, except for two foul |)itches. while Young gathered in 12 more points. The game featured excellent passing and blocking on the part of the Y. Score: Utah, 24; Young, 37. 2oy U. A. C. Games — Logan Series With a possibility of a state and even a conference title at stake, the Young Cougars went to Logan with a true spirit of fight in their hearts. The series was played Friday and Saturday, February 26 and 27. The first game was another see-saw affair first one team leading, then the other. Toward the end of the first half, however. Young pulled away and the half ended 21-17 in favor of the Cougars. At the beginning of the second half the Provo squad widened the breach to nine points. The Farmers called time out, and came back with a rush, narrowed down the lead of the Cougars and finally gained a lead of four points for themselves. The pace set in the rally was too fast, and once the felines passed them, the Farmers never got going again. Score: Aggies, 43; Young, 52. With the state title tied, and lacking only one more game to win the Western Division title, and the right to compete with the Eastern Division winners, the Young quint came back loaded with the lust of conquer. In the first half it looked as though our wishes would materialize. The Cougars were invincible. The defense was as tight as a wedge, and the open floor work was comparable to clockwork. The half ended 24-17 in favor of the Cougar state champions. The Aggies, sensing the importance of the contest, and with the advantage of the home floor and the support of the gallery, came back with a steady and dauntless attack against the Cougar lead. Slowly but with maddening certainty the lead was cut down. The end of the game approached, but before the final gun (and possibly the savior of a conference title! went off the Farmer attack had succeeded. The title had been lost. Score: Aggies, 36; Young, 34.

The games were played on the home floor, hut it seemed that no one was interested. Nothing de- pended on the outcome, the title had been won by the Aggies, and the team was strange. The first game was somewhat of a drag, the home team taking an earlv lead and holding it tiiroughout. There was a good deal of rough playing, on the part of the visitors, but the passing and shooting of the Y was of a high order. Score: Montana, 33: Young, 52. The Thursday game was a much cleaner and more excellent display of baskelbali. It was the last game for four of the Cougar main string men. Buck Dixon, Bob Howard, Russell Swenson. and Golden Romney, and it was an honest endeavor to make a good showing. Bob Howard was cut over the eye and bled profuselv, but he seemed not to be bothered, and later in the game, when he sprained his ankle, he appeared as though it would break his heart to be removed from the contest. During The first half the score was close, and the lead alternated several times, but toward the end of the half two of the visitors best men were taken out on per- sonal fouls. X ith this handicai) the ' t Ouiigsters were able to take a one-point lead. The half ended 13-12.

A great many skeptics predicted a slump in this sport with the graduation of several of the star players, but the showing made by both Freshman teams should make optimists out of the pessimists. The team which won the title was composed of the following players, and was only defeated once in the entire tournament, this defeat coming from the hands of the Freshman number one team: Joe Buys, Orlin Biddulph, Henry Simmons. Dave Adamson. Bruce Gilchrist. Bruce Moody, Nello Westover. Leon Wilkins, Roy Mitchell, and Tony Stevens. The team that defeated them was practicallv the Provo High squad of last year. Some of the men are: Don Dixon, Reed Collins, Dave Condon, James Hawkins, Les Wright, and LaDell Sessions. [214] TRACK r ik rni Track Season The Brigham Young University track team, although having the high point man, was unable to garner more than 29 points, while the Redskins walked avvay with a total of 95. Owen Rowe, a Freshman from Spanish Fork, was, as always, the outstanding performer of the meet. He not only took first in the lOO-vard dash, the 220-yard low hurdles and in the broad jump, but was the winning factor in the closely contested half-mile relay. A few small mishaps caused a part of the great margin between the teams. Mes- senger was forced to withdrawn from the pole-vault because of a lacerated thumb, and Simmons running with a lead of thirty yards in the mile relay, seemed unable to withstand the strain and was passed on the straightaway. ■ ' SP! i- ' 4. - 5 ii«N, ' « ' [216] ' J 1 i Hiiulz Wiirllien Wright aii Leiiven Buck Dixon placed second in the high-jump and the pole-vauh but failed to make his letter. Young fared somewhat better in the meet against the Farmers at Logan. The Aggies garnered a total of 88 against 48 for Young, in a slow and uninteresting meet. It had been raining, and the meet was run on a wet field, slowing things up generally. Rowe continued his excellent performance by scoring high individual honors with eleven points. He took the lOO-yard dash. Rowe also overlook orthington ' s two-yard lead in the half-mile relay and came in with a win for onng by inches.

Although this only gave them third place, it showed a marked improvement over the showing made in the dual meets. Utah scored 59 points and the Aggies took second with 33i o points. In the 220-yard low hurdle race. Rowe not only set a new record in the state, of 24 4-.5. but decisively defeated his high school rival. Worthington. running for the Aggies. In addition, the Cougar Freshman placed first in the century, the 220-yard dash, again defeating Worthington. A new state record of 1:31 1-5 was made in the half-mile relay team, composed of Morgan. Anderson. Call and Rowe. This was the most thrilling race of the day, the Cougar entry trailing second and third until the last furlong. When Rowe re- ceived the baton. Worthington was fully two yards ahead of him. but with a phenome- nal burst of speed Rowe passed him, at the tape, winning the race by a scant margin of eight inches. Hutchings Kirk Richards Rigby L.

And again the powerful lungs of the P.

Not only did Frosty take the honor for the third year, but he abandoned his old record in lieu of his newly established time of 21 minutes 3-3 seconds for the four and two-tenths miles. Two years ago. Frosty established a new rec- ord: but last year he fell down seventeen sec- onds. It is probable that the record he made this year will stand longer than any of the prev- ious records. Interest in the cross-country run seems to have fallen off somewhat the last few years, since only about a dozen entered and the competition among them not being very close. To stimulate interest in distance running, a new cross-country run was initiated this spring. A sweater was given with the motive of making the run really interesting enough for good, red-blooded com- petition. Frosty was the winner of this the first trial of the event. [220] I MINOR SPORTS Mangum Buttle B. Dixon Allen. Capt. D. Dixon Coach Pardoe Season in Tennis The 1926 tennis season was one featured throughout by on and off plaving, the Cougars taking two clean sweeps and losing two close matches. The first match was played against the Aggies, and resulted in an overwhelming victory for oung. Out of the five matches played, the Northmen annexed only one set. and this against Mangum and Dixon, both Freshmen. The second match, however, was not so good. It was played against Utah at Prove, and was won bv Utah. The Dixon brothers. Buck and Sank, each took their singles, but both doubles were lost and Gallagher defeated Buttle in a three-set match. A second clean sweep was taken by the Provo men on their trip to Logan. Every match was comparatively easily won by the Youngsters except Mangum ' s singles, which went to four sets and was called on account of rain. Mangum took the fifth and deciding set in the play the next morning. Ltah also defeated the Farmers twice, giving them a lead of one match over the . The last match to be played was at Utah, and with the advantage of placing the men it was conceded that Young should take the match and tie the state title. All dope-buckets filled with propaganda to this effect were completely up-ended. The Cougars took but one of the five matches played. After playing seventy-one games, the Dixon brothers were forced to give up to Gallagher and Elevens. Blevins also defeated Sanky Dixon in the extra singles. Lee Buttle and Captain Knight Allen also lost a five-set match to Irvine and Goodell. Buttle, however, won his extra singles, which was the onlv match taken by the Provo team. [222] Mangum and Hayden played four sets, Manguni taking the set he took with a love score. Havden settled, however, and pulled out for a win. Altliough it is a keen (lisap|)ointnient to lose a title so nearly in our grasp, ihe school should feel satisfied with the showing the men have made. Buck Dixon and Knight Allen will both be graduated this Spring, and will leave gaps difficult to fill, yet with the young blood that has been displaying itself Young university will give the schools of the North an interesting tussle. f mat [223; - Wl The Wrestling Season Winning in the dual meet with L tah and taking a close second in the Rocky Mountain Conference meet, held at Provo. the Cougar wrestlers closed the season confident that they had done their best to defend the hite and Blue. Since last year, it seems that the grapplers from the far North are the hardiest in the state. The oung mat men were successful in copping the state pennant in this event for the first two years of inter-collegiate competition. But last year, the Logan Farmers arrested the bunting from the Cougars: and thev seem determined to hold it. The B. Y. Li. floor strugglers. having taken everv match but two in the meet with the Utes, and being fairly well represented, were hopeful of recovering the title from the Aggies in the conference meet. The heroic effort the men exerted brought the title within three points of the goal so eagerly sought. An unusual de- gree of interest was shown in the meet this year, the majority of the matches being exceptionally fast. The wrestling season was characterized throughout by a wholesome spirit of good sportsmanship: and, furthermore, the development of new material for next years ' squad is almost complete compensation for this years effort.

[2241 Harris Johnson Cliristopherson RIcIkimI Jones Swimming Accomplishments Coach Leaf Swimming as a collegiate sport is slowly but surely taking its proper place in Utah athletics It was inaugurated in 1922; but then, it was nothing short of an exhibition of a few fairly good swimmers. Because of the extreme superiority of the University of Utah swimmers, very little competition was furnished by the other two collegiate teams. This lack of competition has beeii the greatest drawback to progress in the aquatic sport at Brigham oung University. 1 be diffi- culty was practically removed by the adoption of the conference rule which allows an unlimited number of contestants in any event. In 1922. the U. of U. had the onlv trained team in the state, having in their ranks several A. A. U. champions. But at that time. B. ' Y. U. and A. C. U. were represented by a handful of mere men, certainly not mermen. In the 1922 meet, the showing of the other two schools was pathetic along with the professional work of the Ute squad. The next year, however, the cup became leveled considerably. Under the direction of capable coaches both ' the ggies and the Cougars showed such a marked improvement that the Utes were threatened with dropping their crown. But still the Redskins held the title. The ducks shifted their name one line higher on the score board during this, their third year of competition. The fourth year, 192.5. saw the closest contest yet witnessed in Utah collegiate circles. Prac- tically every record went by the board. The Young waterdogs pressed the Utes so tightly that prognosticators were dumbfounded until the announcement of the results of the final event. Only four points kept the Cougars from the coveted title. the 1926 meet proved that Utah Lake water is just as good as that of Salt Lake or Bear Lake. The winning of both the State and Western Conference titles by the Y natalors clearly demoii- straled rapid progress in the water sport made during the last five years by B. U. The well- balanced team from Provo met in the annual meet at Logan. March 19th. and from the first splash until the final gong held the lead. The score tells the story of Young ' s unmistakable superiority. The Cougar team consisted of eight men captained by the veteran plunger. Harlow Jones. The other men were Wesley Johnson. Merrill Christopherson. Clifford Dangerfield. Kred Richan, Carl Harris. Kddie Peay. and Helier Williams. The phenomenal progress of B. Y. U. in this comparatively recent addition to our catalogue of effort sports is undoubtedly due in large measure to the capable, enthusiastic, and untiring Coach C. S. Leaf. To him is due a goodly share of the credit for the widespiead interest swimming which has developed in the interniounlain region during the last few years. RESULTS OF THE STATE TOURNAMENT B.

Grade school girls, Junior and Senior high school girls, and college girls from schools all over the State met and participated in varied athletic sports. It is hoped that the Association will continue to progress as much in the future as it has done in the past. Those to be commended for putting over this work are: Miss Wilma Jeppson, the head of the Women ' s Physical Education Department: Eada Smith, president; Inez Wamick, vice-president; Hilda Miller, secretary; Emma Snow, recorder. The sport managers are as follows: Tennis, Kathleen Parry; basketball, Freda Robinson: hockey, Jo Dougall and Esther Eggertsen; track. Arthel Morgan; hiking. Fern Billings; dancing. Mildred Lewis; swimming. Lucy Bee. [226] !i - . - r?:i ' M.

The Mask Club is affiliated with this organiza- tion. One hundred-fifty members have aided, participated in. and enjoyed a varied program under Mask Club auspices. Professor Pardee in cooperation with the Mask Club and Dramatic Art Depart- ment was able to secure lecturers of eminence, such as Lewis L ntermeyer, modern poet and critic, and W. W. Ellsworth, editor of The Century and Scribnefs magazines. Dr. Barker of the University of Ltah lectured on the French drama before the Mask Club. A Novelty Mask, Annual Mask Ball, and the Annual Mask Banquet are the outstanding social affairs of the Club.

A ' [277] Rallies An Edit Oral on Laws Fellow students (no. this is not Owen Romney making an announcement), as I stand before you on this soap box as a member of the society for prevention of cruelty to salmon eggs. I want to distill in your hearts a few ideas of laws that are existing today. Ever since man ceased to chase his wife and meat for the children with a club there has been a mania for laws. When the human race had nothing else to do they would pass a law, and the worst part about it is that we have to suffer for all the follies of yesterday. The foolishness all started down about 1496 when some guy named Sir Isaac Newton, I think he is the one who invented Fig Newtons. passed a law on gravitation. Now of all the foolish things to pass a law on; if it had not been for this law we would have been strolling on the milky way long before this picking butter cups. 1 think the only reason this law was passed was to insure good business for the gas balloon trade. This is only a sample of the foolish irrigation. I mean legislation, that we have had. - 11 these laws, traffic laws, by-laws, mother-in-laws, law ' s sake, and the law of diminishing returns are a bunch of applesauce. Take the law of diminishing returns, for instance, some one decided that a man would make too much money if he planted three acres of lucern instead of one. and so he proceeded to pass a law saying that the returns on the election of student body officers would not be heard until the dance that night. It makes any sensible man think that the only reason laws are passed is so we will not understand just what we are supposed to do and then they can fine us and keep up the fund for disabled poodle dogs. Fellow students. I want to bear my alimony. I say down with every thing that is up and up with everything that is down. Do it now before this blue law is passed making everyone wear a blue necktie and socks, I thank you.

Even before the Banyan be was then edillnji was off the press, he was interested in making the 1926 Banyan one of the finest ever publisbed. And from that day to these last hours of printing he has worked dav. and most of the niglits. on the art. photography, arrangements, and even some of the literary work of the book. The words within the editors grasp cannot adequately express his appreciation to Mr. Lewis for his constant valuable advice and help in most every department of the work. Undoubtedly there is not a mere difficult branch of the work in putting out a college annual than the art work. To Miss Effie Bunderson a considerable portion of the credit should be justly attributed for the accomplisbinent of this most uninviting task. Miss Bunderson was one of the first members of the staff; and ever since the day of her appointment there has been very little she would not sacrifice in order to do her work on the Banyan. It has never been the editor ' s pleasure to work with a more congenial, willing helper than Miss Bunderson. Willard H. Clarke was appointed to the position of business manager a very few days after last year ' s election. Immediately, he took hold of his work as though it were really part of his responsibility. The work couldn ' t possibly have ever been completed had it not been for this very ability of Mr. Clarke ' s to take responsibility so willingly. Shortly after the appointment of Mr. Clarke. Julius . Madsen was called to the fold and given that most difficult task of getting the advertising. He has helped consi.lerably on the literary work as well. Late in the year Glenn Potter was called to the ranks and worked energetically enough to do a good year ' s work in a few weeks. He was another worthy savior of the day. In spite of being called away from town several times. Evan Madsen did a worthy piece of work by keeping track of all of the photographs. The photographs were probably kept as sys- maticaliv this year as ever before. r ,, n a ui The major part of the listing of names and gathering of pedigrees fell to Carma Ballit. one of our most capable staff members. Her help in keeping the lists, gathering information, typing all copy, and working out the index was one of the most important contributions to the produc- tion of the book. Her assistance in preparing the dummy and proof reading has been equally as helpful. The major portion of the splendid work done on mounting the large panels of portraits was done bv . rthel .Morgan and Inez Warnick. Most of the Bunyon contributions were made by De, lton Partridge. The Bunyon has been greatly handicapped this year because of indefiniteness with regard to the amount of space that could be allowed. The literary part of the book was given to the care of Louise Engar who has worked patiently since the early part of the work. She has ever been willing to do her best. Many times she has responded willingly to rush calls even though they have come late in the night. Evelyn Morgan ' s task was another one of those mean ones that of recording the events of the year. Without much help, Miss Morgan took hold of her job and plodded patiently throughout the year. The business phase of the work has been carried on admirably by those already mentioned with the help of Wesley .lohnson and Nello Westover. The active members of the staff have already received recognition in some measure for their work; but many friends of the Banyan have done much more than that for which they are recog- nized! Among those who have come to our aid at vital points in the work is Joe Nelson, who has worked many a night as patiently and willingly as nearly any staff member. He was the winner of the Hanvan sales prize, having sidd one hundred and fifty books. Other high salesmen were Grant Broad ' benI, Reed Christensen. KlKm Billings. Malhew Binthy. Melvin Strong, and the Miller sisters. The athletic section was contributed by . leitli Maeser. Kobert Allen, and Burdette Crane. Robert Allen has made substantial contributions to the athletic section during the few weeks preceding publication. His help has been among the most valuable of the non-staff members. Dr. Snow. President-Emeritus Brimhall. and Lowry Nelson have given considerable help in different branches of the work. At the last end of the wiirk are the men who really made the Banyan— the printers. .No one can ever realize the effort these men have expended in the attempt to put the book out on time in spite of being handicapped manv davs. Mr. Giles has been a constant source of help in building the hook. Mr. .Miles and Mr. Fletcher have worked night and day with all of the speed within their power to finish the job in the ipiickest and best possible manner. Our gratitude to them is greater than we can hope to express. In conclusion, any credit that may be due anyone for the production of this work or any of its part should go to the many willing workers who have made the book pos sible. The individual members are largelv due the credit for tin- virlues of llieii ])arliciilar branch of the work. 1301] Ind ex Page Advertisements 283-300 Ag.
