It has figured in the physical development of the nations through offering highways for commerce and travel; water for thirsty desert lands; boun- daries for countries and states; power for the wheels of industry; and recreation for pleasure seekers. In much the same way does the river of college students contribute to the ever increasing ocean of knowledge. The campus is the river bed; research and experiment are the world ' s springs of learning; and the extra-curricular activities are the tribu- taries. The new discoveries are the hidden valleys, and the experience and acquired facts of our facul- ties are the water sheds. We dedicate this, the nineteen thirty-one Ban- yan, in the spirit of learning and progress, to Earth ' s never ending river of scholars. BOOK ONE . . UNIVERSITY BOOK TWO . ATHLETICS BOOK THREE . .

Hayes Carma Ballif . E. H. Holt Superintendent of Buildings and Grounils B. T. Higgs A group of administrative officers such as Brigham Young University has leaves hardly a thing to be desired. In their hands the administration of the business of the institution wants for nothing better. Treasurer E. H. Holt has been with the University since 1893, filling, besides his regular duty, sometimes that of acting prexy while President Harris was away. The kindly nature and ])leasing personality of Professor Holt makes him one of the most loved figures on the Brigham Young University campus. In John E. Hayes, Registrar, students come in contact with a man whose sunny and pleasant disposition and rare sense of humor make association desirable. Registrar Hayes knows every student in the institution by his first name, and that means that he has a joke or a wisecrack for each. Besides his duties as secretary to the President, Kiefer Sauls acts as purchasing agent for the institution and the student body. Kiefer Sauls has travelled with the President on most of the latter ' s more extended trips, and he knows both the head of the institution and the institution, thus being in a position oftimes to act as mediator. Carma Ballif has been assistant in the Treasurer ' s office since her gradu- ation from the University in 1927. Her ' s is a most wiiming smile that radiates a positively attractive personality. B. T. Higgs as superintendent of buildings and campus holds a rarely important place in a phase of training of st udents who work part time for the institution. Higgs demands, above all things, tenacity and jicrscverance in duty, a quality of manifold value in all lines of Life ' s highways. igli uumu ' .ifc. -oamntHRm ' V ; ' K )- I W BANYAN ' 31 Summer School The aim of the Summer Session of the Brigham Young University is essentially the same as that of the school year since the ses- sion has grown into a regular university quar- ter. The summer session presents a liberal of- fering of courses in many lines. In fact, prac- tically every department in the university of- fers courses during this session. The regular DR. H. M. WOODWARD Dean of Siininier School staff is always supplemented by visiting edu- cators and lecturers of national reputation. The session offers an opportunity for regular students to continue their work for degrees and also makes it possible for teachers to fill in all the state requirements. The session is divided into two terms, the first of which is held at the university plant in Provo. This term covers a period of six weeks and offers to the students an unusual opportunity to combine study, recreation and profitable social con- tact. Brigham Young University is very fortunate in being located in Provo — the heart of Utah County. Provo, from every angle, is a splendid summer school town. Because of its unusually fine climate and its great variety of fruits, flowers and trees it has long been called the Garden City. It is located in the heart of outdoor attractions. From the university campus, roads radiate in all directions along which outdoor pleasures may be found. Its nearness to several points of natural interest — Utah Lake, Tim- panogos Mountain, Mt. Nebo, and the various canyons in- viting outers — make it one of the finest centers for summer study that can be found any- where in the world. Moonlight hikes, excursions to vari- ous points of inter- est, lake regattas, sports attractions, and its many varied advantages isolate Provo and Brigham Young University as an ideal place for summer study. [14] BANYAN ' 31 Dean of Women The work of the Dean of Woiiicii is willi the whole life of the student. It is the special duty of the dean to har- monize and fuse the professional ideals with the personal; she must not only look to see whether the essential influences of the school are reaching the individual and getting heal- thy reactions from her, hut she must interpret them to her, fill gaps, apply additional empha- sis where there is need. The dean ' s conferences are but one means of setting up this consciousness. They should integrate the work of the class room, the social units, the free activities, the home life of the girl in all of which the dean plays an impor- tant, if somewhat inconspicuous, role. Consideration of health, of dress and manners, of social relations, of community responsibilities and benefits from the standpoint of the individ- ual life should be blended with the consideration of problems as they affect the members of the home, the group, and the family; the recognition of the supreme profession of woman as citizen, home maker, mother. NETTIE NEFF SMART Dean uj Women V V [15] To know Dean Smart is to know the more conserva- tive spirit of Brig- ham Young Uni- versity, as the Dean of Women is ever the guardian of the fine and high stand- ards of the institu- tion. Contact with her ever brings the student back to a clear realization that after all there is treasure in the more sterling char- acter o f strictly high standard. ■ I r J V_ BANYAN ' 31 lAMES A. CULLIMORE President Student Government Fortunate indeed were the Associated Students of Brigham Young University to have as their head for the year 1930-31 an in- dividual who has real- ly felt the responsihil- ity of his position, and who has studied the needs of the students as a group in order more completely to dis- charge his duties. He has never shirked his responsibility, and, on the other hand, has taken a lethargic stu- dent body and has animated it until big things have been accomplished in almost every field of student activity. James Cullimore, A. S. B. Y. U. President, deserves a hand for the splendid results of his administration. The various student programs during the year have been of an unusu- ally high standard. In contrast to the Monday and Wednesday assemblies, which were sparsely attended, the Friday gatherings have always found an overflow of College Hall. The big reason for this demands untold praise for the consistent work of Bernice Barton, vice president, who never failed n her duty of preparing attractive programs on Fridays. A new feature which was inaugurated this year was the exchange of programs with the sister institutions of higher learning in Utah. It is ex- pected that the practice will grow with the years. The feature has a most commendable end in that it encourages more harmonious and friendlv rela- tionship with the student bodies of the other institutions of tlie state.

JOHN DALTON Yell Master One of the first actions of tlie 1930-31 Student Council was to cut the number of officers of the Council for the sake of more efficient handling of problems. As Council personnel was before, its unwieldliness rendered it incapable of speedily and efficiently coping with urgent and iniporlant problems, the task of assembling a quorum being of too herculean propor- tions for the best benefits of the students. As the Council assembles now only the president of the Associated Students, the first and second vice presidents, editor of tlie Y News, editor of the Banyan, aiul a Faculty Representative, are regular official members. Student heails ol utiier departments were invited to attend Council only when problems pertaining to their respective departments were discussed, and these officers were also granted the right to appear before the Council at ain lime without in itation whenever there was need for Council action. [ 17 ) V V 1 i J BANYAN ' 31 ELAINE PAXMAN President ADA HASLER Vice President VIRGINIA TAYLOR Secretary DOROTHY HOOVER Recreational Leader Associated Women Students The Associated Women Student organization of the Brigham Young University initiated the Senior sponsor system this year. Twenty Senior girls were chosen in the spring to act as hostesses to the new girls who entered the university in the following autumn. The jieriod of sponsorship lasted for six weeks during which time each group was entertained at Dean Nettie Smart ' s home and by their sponsors. At the end of the six weeks a banquet was given them by the sponsors. Poverty provided the theme for the annual girl ' s jamboree. Prizes were given for the best costumed groups and for the best stunt and the entire evening was one of enjoyable gaiety. The year ' s program was organized around a happiness theme and each activity, including the separate meetings, carried out some phase of this theme. Cinderella was the theme that was carried throughout the girls ' day activities. The theme was initiated by the annual play, A Kiss for Cin- derella, and part of the fascinating magic of the story was inserted into the assembly program, banquet, and dance. Each social unit appointed a committee to arrange and carry out some special part of Girls ' Day and the cooperation that resulted was very gratifying. One of the special projects for Girls ' Day was to make possible the return of all former A. W. S. presidents. Those that were unable to be present on the campus sent in greetings that were printed in the Y News. With a quorum of officers to initiate high standards of activites through- out the year and a responsive organization, the year 1930—31 was indeed a banner year for the A. W. S. Too much credit and praise cannot be given to Miss Elaine Paxman, president, for her inspirational and efficient leader- ship. To her successor, Miss Maxine Clayton, devolves an herculean task to carry on the work as done by Miss Paxman. LfV g r.. ■ THIIllUIII||||li ' ' T?= [18] .

The project is the theme of the annual Sopho- more Loan Fund Ball, held early in the winter, ttj which the majority of students and citizens of Prove alike lend their support whole-heartedly. The cause, worthv in itself, is not compelled to go begging, as yearly each class sponsors the big ball. Itself one of the most attractive social events of the season the Sophomore Loan Fund Ball, under the jealous direction of the class, gives value received and at once becomes one of the most unique altruistic organi- zations existing. Year upon year the Loan Fund Ball Committees strive to outdo their predecessor in making the affair the most attractive of the year, and, strangely enough, and peculiarly characteristic, the expense of staging the affair is so minimized by the ingenius sophomores that, instead of in- creasing, decreases, and every year a larger amount is added to the total oi the Loan Fund. As in other years the various departments of the institution have lent their aid to the Loan Fund Ball Committee in furthering the success of the project. Most outstanding has been the work of the art department in gen- eral, and Professor E. H. Eastmond in particular, supplying on their own expense the decorations for the hall. All the effort put forth in this worthy cause results gratify ingly when the prime purpose of it is viewed. Aiding needy students with small loans in times of need and necessity the Loan Fund has been the savior for hun- dreds of students, 238 being helped since 1929. CLYDE BEUHLER [21 V ■ r 7 ' . BANYAN ' 31 Public Service Bureau After having directed the work of get- ting out programs to the various communi- ties in the state for one quarter, Paul Keeler left school to move to Mexico. In his stead Rigby Jacobs has been directing the work for the winter and spring quarters. In addition to the usual amount of programs which the students have furnished to communities and schools in the State of Utah, a special event was projected this year. During the spring quarter two groups went on tour, visiting thirty-three high schools and communities in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Students in the university giving of their entertaining talents freely to the public has been the primary factor in the work of the Bureau. The field of contact has been larger this year than any previous year of the existence of this organization of students. The Public Service Bureau is a valuable advertising medium for the university. Through it students all over the state and in parts of Idaho and Wyoming are made acquainted with the B. Y. U., and parents of students gain an insight into some of the types of work that are given attention in the university curriculum. Students taking part in these programs are taken from outstanding groups of various departments. The art department, dramatic art depart- ment, and music departments furnish material for the bulk of the programs. The public service work offers development for the participants.

The division was organized in 1920 and has grown steadily in the number of contacts which it makes with [)eo|)Ie of the West. At present about 700 men and women are re- ceiving academic instruction off the campus. Added to this number are several literary clubs which are following courses of study outlined by members of the University faculty, and published by this division. This year the Play Lending Service has cooperated with the Dramatic Art department in making avail- able approximately 400 plays for the use of teachers and various organizations in the Rocky Mountain section. The miscellaneous lectures delivered by the members of the faculty throughout the year before ward assemblies, dinner clubs, scientific societies, leadership institutes, both here and in other localities, reach tens of thousands annually. The spirit of the Y is carried to different communities in Utah and neighboring states by members of music and dramatic departments who appear in both concerts and dramatic productions. Aside from this is the close cooperation given to the Public Service Bureau of the Student Body in supplying programs for community organizations. This year the division is active in UNITED STATES POST OFEICE AT PROVO. UTAH supplying interest- ing bits of informa- tion to the country newspapers concern- ing students from their local commu- nities who are at- tending the Brighani Young University. Lowry Nelson has capably taken care of this depart- ment ever since its beginning in 1921. It owes its jjrogress largely to his efforts and foresight. N A I BANYAN ' 31 I ;i) Alpine Summer School The second term of the Bri ham Young University Summer School is held at the very base of Timpanogos Mountain and is known as the Alpine session. It was during the summer of 1922 that Brigham Young University estab- lished this school at the base of Mount Timpanogos, the highest of the Wasatch peaks. The school is located well up in the Alpine region in a beau- tiful aspen grove at an elevation of 6800 feet, below a perpetual glacier and a wonderful system of waterfalls and cataracts, where the student has the best opportunity possilde to study botany, zoology, geology and other sciences. The curriculum, however, is not confined to these lines, but includes work in English, social science, education, and languages. Study under the aspens with the cool breezes sweeping down Timpanogos ' face is productive of the best results in whatever line chosen. Chief among the features of school under the aspens is the splendid courses given in art, by the best instructors procurable in the country. Bud- ding artists paint anil mould their interpretation of nature to the whispering of pine trees, with but the blue canopy of heaven as roof. There is, perhaps, no place in the Rockies where opportunity for re- search and artistic creations is so combined with the wonderful beauties of nature. -fro— tginiinnE li ' ' ' TTimiiiiilTlli ' ' ' T? [24] •¥r « ' ' College of Arts and Sciences BANYAN ' 31 if J GEORGE H. HANSEN, Ph. D. Acting Dean College of Arts and Sciences For the student who needs and desires a broad, liberal education in fields of in- struction that will enable him to efficiently lake his place in the complex civilization of today the Collejie of Arts and Sciences was created in 1923, having, until this time, been known as the School of Arts and Sciences. Abundant opjiortunity is provided for ihose who have ambition for specialized study in engineering, medicine, law, or who desire lo train for religious, political, or social lead- ership. Preparation for original investigation in the fields of this college is emphasized, and students wishing to build a foundation for ad- vanced degrees are finding it rich in such op- portunities. Owing to the ideal location of the Univer- sity with res})ect to the natural, civic and industrial interests of the state, many of the departments in the College actually carry on much of their lab- oratory and experimental work in the active field. The grand old Wasatch Mountains and Utah Lake at the very door step of the University offer excellent open laboratories for work in botany, zool- ogy, entomology, geology, and geography. Again, being located in the center of Utah ' s mining and industrial plants presents unusual advantages in phys- ics, chemistry, and mineralogy, and opportunity and nearness to the civil and cultural centers of the state make for completeness in every phase of college contact. Students wishing to build for advanced degrees are capi- talizing on these al- most unparalleled advantages. The College of Arts and Sciences was officially desig- nated as such in 1921, since which it has enjoyed a very suljstantial growth as indicated by the fact that since 1926 the senior enrollment in the University has increased sixtv-five percent wliile the senior enrollment in the College has made a seventy-five per- cent increase. [26] BANYAN ' 31 The graduating class of this year, from all iiulications, will be more than a huiidreil per cent larger than any previous year. Acting Dean Hansen, under whose guid- ance the College has progressed over two years, by his pleasant and friendly personality and attitude, has always given the students coming to him for advice in registration and scholastic problems sympathetic and patient attention. The periodic meetings of the Colleges as inaugurated Ijy the administration tliis year has afforded wonderful opportunity for the College of Arts and Sciences especially for discussion of jiroblems peculiar to its own field.

' The Ban y an ' I At this, the culmination of another year of college life, the Banyan staff presents to the students as a record of the activities, ro- mances, heart throbs and heart sobs, and the spirit of the Brigham Young the Nineteen Thirty-One Banyan. So far as possible the staff has tried to make this a picture book that in future years will recall college days to the owner and keep fresh in sweet reminiscence the contacts that were made in college days. Due to a depression year the staff has had to curtail expenses, thus sacrificing some things that have been part of former year- books, However, the staff has tried to replace this by providing intimate glances into the various departments, more so than other years, and diffusing the spirit of the class room ac- quaintances and activities throughout the pages of this book. In respect of the rivers of college students that yearly pour into the sea of life the staff this year conceived of the theme of the River around which the message of the book is woven. From the gurgling brook to the some- times swirling and then again placid stream; from the lazy eddying stream to the rushing torrent of a mad flood has the life of the college student been compared. The romance of moonlit nights, and the crazy cramming for exams are typified by the silvery reflection of moonlight from the dreamy waters of a quiet river and the frantic onrush of a flood in a stormy season. The editor, feverishly working hours and hours and days and days, well appreciated the eager and willing support that has been given by the small, though splendidly efficient staff of this publication. Smallest of staffs in many years, nevertheless the members came through on schedule in almost every department. The most generous support of engravers, printers, photographers.

Hearty acknowledgement is due Pro- fessor E. H. Eastmond of the art department for his friendly and constructive criticisms and assistance with the art work. Illustrations from Glenn Potter, former editor of the Ban- yan, set a high standard for that type of work in the book. The diligent and exhaustive pursuits of snapshots and other pictures by the staff photographer, Chauncey Harris, leaves nothing but praise for his perseverance. Gwen Nelson spent hours and hours in faithful labor in the office assembling and mounting pictures and to her could easily go the title of most constant member of the staff. T. Hetlig, originally designated on the staff as sports editor, subsequently turned his wil- ling efforts to the writing and editing of all copy for all departments. To all these people whose names have been mentioned must be written that the Banyan owes its present exis- tence as the eighteenth volume. Norman Bingham and Clyde Beuhler, business manager and assistant, respectively, have struggled capably and heroically, it may be said, in a year where most business departments of concerns floundered almost helplessly. As a busi- ness man with tenacious business traits Norman Bingham has been it one hundred percent. The staff hopes that it has not failed in its aim to make this a repre- sentative college annual. The privilege of working for the student body in this capacity has been appreciated fully, and this has been a pleasurable task. With a something akin to a sorrow at parting the 1930-31 staff officially bows itself out of office and presents to the students of Brigham Young the Nineteen Thirty-One Banyan. NORMAN BINGHAM Business Manager CLYDE BEUHLER Assistant Business Manager V V V GWEN NELSON Calendar ■ r K ) V, r- r ' BANYAN ' 31 ARLTON CULMSEE Editor WANDA SNOW Asfociule Editor The Y News Tliis year the Y ' News lias had a career of storms and upheavals. In the first place the number of awards to be given to the staff was cut in half and naturally the smaller staff had to struggle along under a double burden. Then came disagreements between the editorial staff and the Attendance, Scholarship, and Discipline Committee regarding the personnel of the staff. The eventual upshot was that, rather than submit to the demands of the Committee that Sam Taylor, Associate Editor, be removed, T. Hettig, Editor, resigned. This occuri ' ed in mid-December. Shortly after the holidays, Carlton Culmsee was appointed to the editorship. Leadership Week, with its daily edition of the News, constituted his baptism of fire, and made the remainder of the year seem easy in comparison. Next, the financial condition of the paper de- manded attention. Heavy losses had been incurred ever since the News had become a semi-weekly in 1927. The long-continued business slump, coming to a climax this year, made retrenchment in some form necessary. The students voted to have a weekly in view of the precarious financial standing of the News. The weekly introduced a new problem: How could the same amount of news be crammed into half the former space? It was necessary to eliminate certain features and to write the news in a con- densed form. The staff made the adjustment efficiently. Later an increase in size to seven columns, which added space equivalent to a full page of the former size, made the problem less difficult. The appointed editor had the temerity to run for the same position next year, and the good fortune to be elected. GLEN WILKINSON MAUREEN WEI.KER BASIL HANSEN LEONARD PEASE [ M ] T - aC s« BANYAN ' 31 Glen Wilkinson, sports editor, turned in more and cleaner copy than anybody else. Moreover, hi stuff was readable. Glen is a self-effacing chap but a keen critic of athletes and games. He is the vigilant Muscle-bound of Conference Rumblings fame. He was assisted by Leonard Pease and Harold Wilson. H. Grant Vest, as business manager, managed to maintain a jovial countenance all through the very try- ing year. His aides were Merlin Vance, Ralph Kelly, and Ronald Wiscombe. Allen Stephenson served as associate editor dur- ing much of the Winter Quarter. He is another fal- low with an unassuming maimer but a clear thinker and a writer of ability. When Stephenson left, Wanda Snow became asso- ciate. She likes to read copy so well that she insists upon employing all the sumbols and such on every story, including her own. Wanda can put novelty into a lead, and other desirable qualities. Ruth I. Johnson made a good society editor be- cause they can ' t help liking her. Under her, the de- partment became known as Candlelight and Crystal. Maureen Welker handled the busy and important music department ably. Basil Hansen, interview spe- cialist, disclosed a lot of interesting personalities in his columns, Intimate Views and People You Should Know. Mary Ashby covered drama in cap- able style. Tlieron Luke covered anything under the sun competently and reliably. Virginia Eggertsen was another natural interviewer, probably be- cause of a winning personality. Frank Harris, with his telegram style, which is as crisp as his manner, and Virgie Fraughton, born feature-writer, who never yet has bowed to the yoke of news-writing, rounded out the staff. H.

VIRGINIA EGGERTSEN V ' - ■ BANYAN ' 31 The Scratch In its junior year the Scratch, quarterly literary magazine of the undergraduate students of Brigham Young University, went through vital changes but held steadfast to the original aim — a magazine repre- sentative of the university both in material and au- thorship. Starting out with the first issue, under the editor- ship of Mr. Carlton Culmsee, the magazine made its initial appearance of the 1930-31 school year. Liter- ary creations of an exceedingly high standard pro- duced by students and faculty members set the goal for the subsequent issues to shoot at. Mr. Culmsee ' s admirable knack of digging out stories from the most unusual and interesting sources and his ability to edit keenly and appreciatively made the December issue 1 one of the most popular and widely read of any here- R jr K. tofore. The appointment of Mr. Culmsee to the editorship i of the Y News vacated by T. Hettig left a vacancy in I m h|H the magazine ' s editorial staff. Miss Lorna Jensen, ' associate editor, was appointed by the council to edit the publication the remainder of the year. Under Miss Jensen the spring issue of the Scratch appeared in March, following the same high standard set by her predecessor and featuring additional art work by students of the university. The last issue of the school year, the Commencement Issue, appeared in May, dedicated to the departing class of 31. Following the policy of the publication as it was conceived at its first appearance the staff has succeeded well. Short stories, essays, sketches, poems, have been contributed by students, with several formal articles writ- ten by members of the faculty. LORNA JENSEN Editor CLYDE BEUHLER Bux.

SWENSON Chairman Foreusics A trip into southern California for a four-debate engagement, all of which were decided in favor of the cliurch university representatives, was perhaps the highlight of the 1930-31 debating season. The tendency in today ' s collegiate debates is to follow the open forum, no decision system, and it was thus that most of the debates followed. Tliose engfigements on which judges or audience decisions were given showed the Brigham Young University debaters to hold the balance. The entire western country and pacific coast supplied opposition to the Brigham Young debaters at times, giving the varsity teams plenty of action and opportunities to indulge their favorite arguments on official subjects. With Professor John C. Swenson as chairman of the university debating council, and Professor Asael C. Lambert as coach of the debaters, Brigham Young teams were afforded the best preparation of any team in the state. Native ability, as in all other lines, played large roles in the success of the teams. Two of the debaters, Darrell Crockett and Ray Peterson, represented Brigham Young University at the annual Rocky Mountain Forensics League convention at Boulder, Colorado.

The club makes no attempt to function socially, though its one big social event annually, the Block Y Club banquet and dance, is one of ihe sparkling features of ttie B. Y. U. calendar. Rather, the Block Y Club is an organization to foster the natural kin- ship existing among students who have won the right to wear the official university end)lem. It strives to foster and encourage the highest and most sincere type of courtesy and hospitality to visiting college and high sciiool li-anis, devoting its energy unreserv- edly in playing the part of host to them as well as other visitors to the Brigham YOung campus. Other than its status as host to encourage and es- tablish the most courteous relationship with other cam- pus bodies anfl the outside the Block Y t iub is charged with the preservation and protection of the trailitions that years have buill up so fiiiciy in the fabric of the Brigluim Young background.

Dean College of Education Through the years of its existence, whether as an academy or a university, the reputation of the Brigham Young University has been largely determined by the quality of teachers that it has prepared. Throughout almost the entire intermountain west a role of leadership in the teaching profession has been played by the graduates of the College of Education of this institution. The requirements for the teaching profes- sion have been steadily increasing. Just how adequately this College has been able to meet these new increasing standards is shown by the demand that is constantly being made for its graduates. From every section of the in- lermountain country boards of education have employed the graduates of this College as teachers, supervisors, principals, and superintendents. At times the demand for the students of the College has been so great that the undergraduates could hardly be induced to prolong the period of preparation to a point where they were trained for their highest possible service. During this period, there was a scarcity of teachers. At this time this df niand for numbers has i)een satisfied. Since the introduction of the scientific method in attacking the educa- tional problems science has been enriched through research as no other social science has l)een. Vast sums of money are now being spent to further educa- tional research. These great accumulations of knowledge become the heritage of students of Education. In this College the students are directed in their quest into the realms of exact data for materials with which they answer many difficult and complex questions that con- front the men and women in the field of education. Colleges of edu- cation maintain their prestige among the other colleges of tlie universities of our countrv because the graduates from these colleges can capitalize almost im- [44] BANYAN ' 31 ISCg ggilv; mediately upon llieir training. More experts ui this field are needed tliaii in any ulhcr |)rofes- sion. Every community, ol a tliousand people or more, must liave adecjuate numbers of pro- fessionally trained men and women lor teach- ing service. On reflection upon the constantly widen- ing field for educational service, the demand for teachers of not oidy childhood and youth but adults as well, it appears clearly that there is to he no decrease in the demand, hut rather an increase. Those who have their faces turned to- ward a professional career, if they are looking to the field of education and aspire to become students of the College of Education, are fac- ing a promising future. The College of Education includes in its faculty a large group of most versatile, well trained, and highly ca|)able men and women.

Dean College of Commerce It is not a difficult matter to be an optimist on the future of the college graduate. There is no reason for being otherwise for he renders a service of incalculaljle value. He has been an essential agent in the revolution which has come to pass in statecraft, discovery, science, art, and social science including commerce and economics. During the past ten or fifteen years ad- ditions to knowledge have come so fast that there has been necessarily an increasing sub- division in the fields of knowledge. Associat- ed with this progress and modernization of tlie practical world has come an aspect of up-to-date- ness in the college curriculum. College courses have become more practical and more special- ized than formerly and graduates are now- able to fill into the work-a-day world without the abrupt transition which was so apparent in the past. Along with the modernization of the colleges and the practical world a rapid increase has taken place in the number of students which have en- rolled in specialized courses. Business schools are no exception. For instance, the College of Com- merce of the Brigham Young University has grown from its two gradutes in 1921 to forty graduates in 1931. The practical world has absorbed this increasing number of graduates, until today finds them contributing their mite in many states of the union and in several foreign coun- tries. Graduates of the College of C o m- merce of th ' s Uni- versity are to b e found in nianv other institutions working for advanced d e- srees, and in such fields of endeavor as banking, accounting, research, statistics, politics, real estate, insurance, merchan- dising, teaching, and also in communitv and church service. [48] BANYAN ' 31 It is hopeful to note that whih- commerce graduates have to deal largely with cold, pre- cipe, figures and facts and materialistic situa- tions, vet along with these the graduates are do- ing justice and honor to those inborn traditions and the splendid spirit of the Brigham Young University, which are traceable to the noble as- pirations of its founders and patrons. To the faculty members it is always a source of great pleasure to observe this charac- teristic in the graduates. Dean H. V. Hoyt has been with the Lni er- sity since 1921 when the College of Commerce was formed, known then as the College of Com- merce and Business Administration. The name was changed in 1928 to College of Commerce. A graduate of Purdue University with a B. S. degree in 1913, Dean Hoyt subsequently re- ceived his M. B. A. degree in 1917 from Har- vard University. From then until he came to Brigham Young University in 1921 he worked as an industrial engineer in New York. A faculty of highly trained specialists assist Dean Hoyt in the College. Professor Swenson in sociology. Professors Clark and Boyle in accounting, Professor Holt in office practice, and Professor Hoyt in business administra- tion make a well balanced all-round college for traniing undergraduate busi- ness world solons.

[501 iTTirnTTmTr ' r ' ' ' ? s ir m i College of Fine Arts r I, BANYAN ' 31 CK.RHIT ,1. ' JONG. ,1 M.A. The College of Fine Arts The policy of the Brigham Young Univer- sity has always provided for a very liberal patronage of the fine arts. Even in the early days an enviable reputation was enjoyed by the departments dealing with nuisic, art. and speech. No wonder that the constantly grow- th i jx ing desire to offer greater opportunities to K iJ , those whose inclinations and talents led them mB[ - into the several fields of fine arts finally re- sulted in the organization of a separate college. Organization of the College of Fine Arts was effected in the spring of 1925, when the services of Professor Gerrit de Jong, Jr., were secured to start and direct the new college on its career. Since then the new college has steadily grown until its number of graduates with bacJielor degrees is as large as that of any other college in the Brigham Young University, with the exception of the College of Arts and Sciences. At present the College of Fine Arts has the following departments fully organized: Art. Speech, and Music. Any course offered leading to a degree is the cultural equivalent to any other college courses offered in the Brigham Young Universitv, differing from them maiidy in respect to the emphasis placed on the study of the fine arts. The splendid organizations maintained by the three departments are a constant source of artistic community service, not only in the immediate vi- cinity of the university, but at different times iluring the year in places far distant from the cam- pus. The Glee Clubs, Symphony Orchestra, Concert Band, the Dramatic Art groups, the Mask Club, the Art Service Club, and the many exhiljitions of works of art held constantly furnish the students of the College of Fine Arts the ex- perience necessary in well-rounded training as artists, and delight and entertainment to the students of other colleges and institu- tions throughout the nitermountain try. c o u n - iiiiiiiiilMlliii ' T? [52 1 iVn ' a BANYAN ' 31 [ 53] An exceptionally well prepared faculty is maintained, who have received the benefits of extended study and travel in recognized art centers, and adequate physical equipment in every department enables the College of Fine Arts to do work of high acailemic and profes- sional standing. The average enrollment of ihe College of Fine Arts is approximately two hundred and fifty students. In the s])ring of 1931 about thirty of these students expect to be graduated with a Baccalaureate Degree. Dean de Jong has a keen understanding, deep insight, and great appreciation of the problems that are peculiar to students of the fine arts. Undergraduates registered in this College are always assured of a kindly sym- pathy and willing help when they seek Dean de Jong for aid meeting and solving difficul- ties arising at any time. The heads of the various departments of the College of Fine Arts have succeeded in building up a College organization of students that breathes the verv neces- sary atmosphere of remarkably high cultural training. Undergraduate, as well as graduated students of the college take their places with the foremost in their classes of artists in the state.

The work of the organization in concerts has been marked by an exceptionally high standard of music rendition and remarkably fine quality of interpretation. The Mixed Chorus regularly supplies the music at the weekly Monday and Wednesday assemblies, a constant feature ever popular and attractive. During the winter quarter the Chorus made its one and only public appear- ance outside of the campus, giving and exceedingly high grade program at the Provo Fifth Ward. Daily throughout Leadership Week the Chorus was featured widi the main speaker of the day in the leadership program in assemblies. The finest phases of each of the glee clubs, plus the aid of a group of vocalists outside of these clubs, combined in the Mixed Chorus, resulting in a musical organization of mammoth appeal and majestic level. It was an inspiration to hear the near two hundred young voices blend in interpreting the classics. [54] J XXf BANYAN ' 31 V V Symphony Orchestra [55] Director Professor LeRov J. Robertson Under the able directorship of Professor LeRoy J. Robertson the Brig- ham Young University symphony orchestra achieved remarkable brilliancy this year, giving its own successful concerts as a result of hard work and loyal support on the part of the members. Too, it has been so busy this year in other than its own concerts that it wondered if its time were its own. Notable were its achievements in ac- companying Isador Belarsky, internationally famous Russian basso, willi whom a joint concert was presented to a packed hall in tlic Utah Stake Tab- ernacle during Leadership Week. It rendered most valuable assistance to the Ladies ' Glee Club at the latter club ' s concerts, and its few appearances in assemblies heralded musi- cal treats of irresistible appeal. Numerous ensemble groups formed within the orchestra have given of their time freely in assisting on innumerable programs both witliin the institution and out. Full instrumentation, a leader whose sound musicianship is an inspira- tion to its able players, as well as the splendid tracition of artistic success which has been steadily growing up around this organization have all con- tributed to its well deserved success this vear.

That is the epithet given to the Male Glee Club of the Brijjham Young University. The club, under the direction of Dr. Franklin Madsen and a corps of energetic and efficient officers, had the largest membership this year that it has ever had, seventy-five men being included. At student body functions as well as officially an organization represent- ing the university, the Glee Club did credit by its high class and enthusiastic participation. During the football season the club sat in a body with the band as a special rooting section, lending lusty voices in vigorous applause and encour- agement to the team. As an advertising medium for the institution the work of the Male Glee Club of 19.30-31 is unsurpassed by that of any former year. On February 2 and 3 it gave two concerts at the Paramount Theatre in Provo. A short concert before the Leadership Week visitors at one of the social hours held in the Ladies ' Gym, a concert of varied classics before Dr. F. S. Harris ' lecture on the second nigiit of Leadership Week, and, together with ihe mixed chorus, furnishing the music at the daily assemblies of the Week, comprised the program of the club during Leadership. On March 15 the club gave one of the finest ward programs of the year in Provo in the Fifth Ward chapel. ' i i = - [56] I tlB iOf BANYAN ' 31 [57] Ladies Glee Club The work of the Ladies ' Glee Club this year has undoubt- edly excelled in every respect the glee clubs of previous years. The club has a definite aim, which is the interpretation and appreciation of better music. Under the direction of Miss Margaret Summerhays, the Ladies ' Glee Club work attained a perfection of artistic qual- ity entirely in accordance with her exceptional ability and training. Miss Clara Woodhouse acted as accompanist. Two major concerts have been given in which the girls appeared well trained and beautifully arrayed jjefore large audiences. A specially prepared concert was given during leadership week as well as the cantata, Death of Joan of Arc, which was presented a short time later, with X ' i ' ilma Sorenson and Gertrude Gourley as soloists. The officers, Gertrude Sauer, president, and Pearl Ivins, secretary, have helped greatly in making this year a most suc- cessful one for tlie Glee Clui). V, . « i r BANYAN ' 31 The Bdud Director Manager Professor Robert Sauer Orman Weight Undoubtedly, one of the most vital elements in the spirited support given athletic teams of the Brigham Young University is the band. In every football game and in every basketball game; in every sort of a rally, the band was there as the feature pep generator. One of the spectacular features of Brigham Young football games have been the forming of the block Y by the band in between halves, as well as the forming of the official emblem of the institution played. And vel the band is far from being merely a pep organization; thai is but one of its many lines of enthusiastic activities. The band can boast of a really high type body of artist musicians, breathing the personality of its master director, that vibrant personality, Professor Robert Sauer. In concerts and other public appearances this versatile organization has featured both classical and popular music, as well as providing several solo- ists, and producing some clever dialogue skits and accompaniment. Annually the band makes a tour of some section of the state. This year the organization toured southern Utah during the week of March 17-21. Concerts, dances, and programs were given at Nephi, Fountain Green, Ephraim, Mount Pleasant, Fairview, Gunnison, Monroe, Salina, Marysvale, Circleville, Panguitch, Orderville, Kanab, and St. George. [58] -.ixr 3Jfr- N« BANYAN ' 31 Ahna Pater Much of the spirited response and tremendous popularity of the pep rallies during the year may he attributed to the stirring words and music of the Pep Song, prize winner in tiie 1930 Pep Vodie. Words were written by Glenn Potter, ' 30, and nuisic by Walt Daniels, ' 31. The song is one of the peppiest and most distinctly collegiate properties of modern times. It has a decidedly Birgham Young slant, appropriate indeed for the university of that name. The sentiment that it breathes has a soul-stirring ability that all who haye eyer attended the institution can hardly help feeling. At contests, home and away, where Alma Pater was sung the highest type of commend on its quality haye been elicited. On several radio rallies when the song was sung comment from far and near have been received. A great deal of the popularity of the song can be credited to the Cougar Quartette, composed of Andy Anderson, Clyde Summerhays, William .John- son, and Morris Christensen, whose rendition of the song has been unsur- passed. ALMA PATER We praise our Alma Mater, Our Alma Mammy too. We cheer for Yale and Harvard, With a boo-la boo-la boo; You ' ve heard the Sons of Utah, The A. C. anthems sung; So here ' s a song we offer At the shrine of Brigham Young. Chorus: Our Alma Pater For you we ' re fighting To hear our Cougars Scream victory.

This winter the class choose Alan Davis ' gripping and colorful drama, Gypsy Fires. The players were se- lected from a large entry in the try-out, and worked seriously and effectively under the direction of Miss Bernice Barton, supervised by Professor Alonzo Morley. Gypsy Fires was given in College Hall on Friday evening, November 21. In a cast of exceptionally able players two, Miss Bertha Agren and Miss Mildred Davis, as the old gypsy queen, Tryphena Stanley, and the .flighty little gypsy maid, Synfie Boswell, stood out as brilliant stars in the performance.

Hetlig The tradition of putting on an all-senior thespian play every year has grown from a small beginning until now it is one of the looked-for dramatic treats of each school year. This year ' s play was commended upon as one of the best class productions in the history of the university. Besides challenging the best dramatic talent in the class for expression the annual senior play is a source of welcome revenue to the class coff ers and aids the treasurer and the class in naming its annual project as it graduates. L V r i l BANYAN ' 31 T je Ivory Door ' 1931 Varsity Competitive Play A powerful drama depicting the killing superstition of a medieval society, used as a means of satirizing any form of superstition, was the vehicle upon which the Brigham Young University Varsity Players made their appearance in 1931. None other a play than The Ivory Door, by the celebrated A. A. Milne, was chosen. Twenty-eight characters, representing the pick of the university dra- matic talent, made up the complete ensemble, supplemented by seven beau- tiful girls portraying through the art of interpretative dancing the Devil Dance. It was one of the most stupendous stage productions ever attempted by the B. Y. U. dramatic art department, and it is a tribute to the head of that department, and a just evaluation, that The Ivory Door was rated by able critics as a production unsurpassed in the annals of Brigham Young stage history. Professor Alonzo Morley, head of the dramatic art department, sub- stantiated his characterization as a master play producer by deftly selecting, with the happiest choice, the various players in their respective roles, and then developing and training them to think and breathe the very spirit and life of the play. He was assisted in directing the play by Miss Josinette Cook, a major in the department. The dancing was under the able direction of that gifted young dancer, Miss Aline Coleman. Mr. Glen Webb, as King Perivale, was awarded the Edmund Evans prize for his masterful work throughout the production, winning over strong competition as the best sustained character in the play.

The scenery was the work of Professor E. H. Eastmond of the art department and his students, and the costumes, other than a few from a costuming house, were made hy the dress-making class.

It was a classic audience indeed that greeted the actors on the night of the play, Friday, April 17. Since 1924 when the dramatic art department produced The Taming of the Shrew, Provo had not seen one; but art patrons quickly responded in a most satisfying measure to the beauties of thL master writer ' s romantic tragedy. That week and the following was Shakespeare week on the campus and the department contracted a company of the Shakespeare Guild of America for three performances in College Hall. Led by the brilliant young Ameri- can actor William Thornton the company gave performances in Provo of Hamlet, April 21; Taming of the Shrew, April 22; and The Merchant of Venice, April 22. The players in Romeo and Juliet were: Juliet, Elaine Paxinan; Romeo, Morris dinger; Friar Laurence, Orlando McBride; the nurse, Gen- evieve Morgan; Peter, Fred Webb; Tybalt, Earl Nielson; Friar John, Earl Nielson; Benvolio, Joe Theriot; Mecutio, Alan Fjeld; Balthazer, Ray Adams; Montague, Jess Chandler; Capulet, Glenn Webb; Paris, Ward Clark; the prince, Boyd Nelson; Lady Capulet, Reta Gines; Montague, Alice Jones.

I MORRIS CLINGER President The Beta chapter of Theta Alpa Phi was represented this year at the national convention held in Chicago in December by President Morris dinger. While there he gained many ideas that have made our activity more efficient and extensive. Home meetings were held each monUi at which time reviews were given by the members of the most recent and popular drama. Among the plays reviewed were: The Ivory Door, Journey ' s End, ' ' Criminal Code, The First Mrs. Frazier, Berkley Square, and ' Death Takes a Holiday. During the year business was discussed at noon luncheons held every two weeks in the Y Cafeteria. The annual dramatic production was Romeo and Juliet. This was the first Shakespearean produc- tion since 1924. It was pronounced a very finished production. Special parties have been given by Theta Alpha Phi in honor of dramatic visitors on the campus. The cast of The Ship with Moroni Olsen and the cast of the U. of U. play, as well as Mrs. Kathyrn Pardoe were all given entertainments after the performances. Twenty new members were initiated and a good representation attended the annual state banquet held in Salt Lake. All members experienced a very enjoy- able and interesting time during the many activities of the year. i N i .nii l llii ' ' ' ' ' Tg= ' Aiimuuii ' ■•I ' n,.

The College was created by act of the Board of Trustees in 1922. A large number of the graduates can be found now teaching in the high schools of the intermountain re- gion. Many others are engaged in practical farming and home making, while others have found employment as experts in various enter- prises. A fairly accurate estimate would place the number who will receive their degrees from the University in the College of Applied Science at twenty-five for 19.31. Dr. Lowry Nelson, Dean of the College, came to the University in 1921 from a short but brilliant career in a varied field. Graduated from the Utah State A. C. in 1916, Dr. Nelson took his M. S. degree and then his Ph. D. degree from Wisconsin University. Experience in the broad fields of his vocation and understanding of the problems that confront undergraduates. Dr. Nelson admirably fits the position as guide for students registered in the College of Applied Science, and endears him to all his undergraduates as well as other associates. Through the wide contacts of Dean Nelson graduates from this college have found gold- en opportunities for advanced studies in many of the leading universities of the United States, where, proudly the College points to them; they have been the fore- most scholars in their classes, reflect- ing credit to the in- stitution and testify- ing to the high type of work done in the College of Applied Arts. [70] t BANYAN ' 31 The Gnidudto School The growth of graduate work in the uni- versity has kept pace with the growth of the institution as a whole. Although college grad- uates during earlier |jcriods had returned to their alma mater to pursue advanced work yet it was not until 1919 that the first higher de- grees were conferred. At the commencement of that year the Master ' s degree was conferred upon Walter P. Cottam and Edgar M. Jensen, both of whom are now meml)ers of the univer- sity faculty. At that time, however, there was no or- ganized department which had supervision of graduate instruction. It was not until the year 1921 that a Division of Graduate Work was established under the direction of a faculty committee consisting of Dr. Christen Jensen, Dr. M. C. Merrill, and Dr. H. M. Woodward. This arrangement continued until 1928-29 when the Board of Trustees of the university established a Graduate School and Dr. Christen Jensen was selected as the first dean of the school. Each year has seen a larger number of graduate students enrolled in this school and an increase in the number who have been granted advanced degrees. This year a total of seventeen students were admitted to candidacy for the Master ' s degree. This will be the largest number that has been gradu- ated at any commencement. CHRISTEN JENSEN, Pli. D.

Gamma Phi Omicron Sorority is one of the most distinctive organiza- tions on the campus. It is a professional organization established at the B. Y. U. in 1926, composed of girls majoring in Home Economics who have ROZENA NELSON OAKS distinguished Uiemselves scholastically and profes- sionally. Many of its members have not only excelled in the field of Home Economics, but also in other fields in the University. The organization also functions socially. Among its most delightful affairs this year were the formal dinner dance at the Hotel Roberts in March, and invi- tation party in November, the Anniversary dinner in May, and the Alumni breakfast in June. Business meetings were held each month. The sorority has contributed five volumes of re- search papers to the University library, and it has es- tablished a Loan Fund which is rapidly growing. [72] «t ATHLETICS rVOMANCE and rivers go hand in hand. The glamor of the world ' s rivers and streams have been painted by artists of all lands. Their mysteries and romance have been woven into the themes of countless stories and legends. The Nile of Egypt suggests Antony and Cleo- patra; the Rhine, with its medieval castles on overhanging cliffs, brings memories the chiv- alry of knighthood. We think of the Mis- sissippi in terms of LaSalle, DeSoto, Lincoln, flatboats, paddle steamers, and pickaninnies. The Hudson recalls the Half Moon. The St. Lawrence connotes Quebec and its historic pal- lisades. And the Delaware brings a picture of Washington and his forces in its ice-choked current. I •-J ' v Vi«« ' ' The Coaching Staff The ri.-ing tide of Brigham oim { 1 lit OTT ROMNEY DirerliiT j . thlclics University athletics brought to the cliurcli institiilion in 1928 as Director of Athletics that genius of a man. George Ottinger Romney, who. in the course of time, lias gathered around him a coaching staff tliat is making B. Y. U. a threat to the supremacy of tlie mightiest of tliis conference in all types of athletics, intercollegiate and intra mural. Coach Romnev — or. just Ott — is head coach of football, basketball, and track. L ' ndcr his direction Brighain Young athletic teams have, by their prowess and the color lent by his dy- namic personality, taken their jdaces with the best. Ott ' s system of basket- ball, developed to perfection with the wonder Montana Slate team of 1926- 30. and his B. Y. U. team of the last three years, has revolutionizeil basket- ball playing in this side of the Rocky Mountain Conference. It is not a wild prediction to say that it will do this also to basketball as played throughout America, if teams coached b him contimie lo barnstorm throughout the United States. Ott ' s assistants, like himself, have pla ed the game and know whereof they talk when training men for athletic events. Handling the business managerial end of die department, and assisting as track coach, is Charles J. Chick Hart, one time football and track star of Utah State Aggies. As freshmen coach and assistant football coach Fred Buck Dixon has as background the seasoned experience of four years as coach and four years in college as one of the greatest athletes in the Rocky Mountain Conference. In the spring of 1930 Ott Romney secured as head varsitx line coach one Weldoii Monson, one time all-eastern tackle from Georgetown University. Monson in his first season worked wonders with a green line, carefully laying the foundation of the powerful and effective low charging, fast driving oftensi e anil defensive system proved the most successful as used by Lou Little, under whom he played. Monson coaches the B. Y. high school basket- ball team dnrins the winter. BUCK DIXON oil ' KOMNKV •WKI.DON MONSON CHICK HART 73] ■V: .

Wliile the yell kings kept the walls of the gym, the sides of the mountains, and the roof of the sky vibrating with the vigor of concentrated college yelling, the rally committee was thinking of more and better ways of inducing students to quit their beds and participate in farewell parties or welcome home receptions. All hours of the night, and some of the day were resorted to for something different. The rally pair, T. and Walt, arranged for midnight matinees, all night football games, before breakfast dances, and theatre parties. They, with the yell kings, have kept the Y spirit up to an unusual degree of pep dur- ing the entire year. [74] PKP OniK PARTICIPANTS— I ' idelps. Val Hvric, CHarni anla, Val Norn. O. S.

It is situated so that it is easily accessible to both autoists and pedestrians. Tlie seating capacity of the stadium is numbered at five thousand, and should future attendance de- mand, can be greatly enlarged. One can see any part of the field from any part of the stadium. Tlie athletic field consists of a regulation gridiron, a quarter-mile track, and a two hundred and twenty yard straightaway cinder track. The stadium is the home of the annual Invitational Track and Relay Carnival at which junior high schools, senior high schools, and junior colleges from the inter- moimtain territory compete. The view from the stadium is as rich in aesthetic quality as any canyon road or mountain park. Across the stadium to the West, over fields and orchards, one can see Utah Lake, girdled by purple mountains. On both sides and in the rear the Wasatch range bends in a great semicircle from the giant Mt. Nebo on the South, to the reclining Mt. Timpanogos, the highest of Wasatch peaks, on the North. [76] SU«  Y nNOERSON Football Football Football at Brigliam Young University now is spoken of in terms of championships instead, as in years previous, of how close the team holds the mightier aggregation of the Rocky Mountain Conference. And the enviable record that B.Y.U. gridiron teams have attained under the tutelage of Coach Ott Romney speaks fluently of the fact that the Mormons are coming to the front rank in this spectacular American college s])ort. Travelling almost 25,000 miles during the season and playing 20 football games, the three teams of Brigham Young, the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshmen, won 11 games, lost 5, and tied 4. The individual record of these teams are: Varsity: played 12 games, won 6, lost 2, tied 4. Junior Varsity: played 3 games, won 3. Freshmen: played 5 games, won 2, lost 3. Most important, of course, and most re- markable, was the feat of the varsity team in playing 12 games in 13 weeks, only three of which were on home soil, one being played away from the mainland after a 3000-mile trip across the Pacific. The season of 1930 for B. Y. U. perhaps equals, at least, if not sur- passing, the most strenuous ever undertaken by any college football team, and the fact that Ott Romney ' s charges lost but two games during the time speaks highly of the calibre, stamina, and fighting heart of the men and die coaches. The rigors of travelling 22,000 miles in one season, playing game after game with, as a rule, no more than seven days in between games and sometimes only four, accounts for the numerous tie games that resulted with teams that should have been beaten. CAPT. ELMER DASTRUP Guard THE VARSITY [78 1 Brigham Young lost hut one game in the conference race, that to the championship Uni- versity of Utah team, hut Colorado University, by virtue of having played one more game than B. Y. U., and like the latter, losing hut to Utah, took second place standing while Brigham Young dropped to third. The gridiron season at Young opened on September 10 with the first practice, sixty picked men reporting that week. Ten days later the first game was played, a practice skirmish with an all-star alumni team. Fifty men saw action as the varsity won 28—19. A week fol- lowing the team began its season ' s trekking by hieing over to Laramie for a game with Wy- oming University, which was won 19—12. Following that game the next Saturday B. Y. U. made one of its two remaining home appearances by playing the powerful University of Nevada team in the Y stadium. The result was one of the record ties of the Mormon team — 6-6. After the hard game with Nevada, B. Y. U. boarded the train the following week and played a game with Colorado Teachers at Greeley. It was homecoming for the pedagogues and tliey played their best game of the season to tie Brigham Young 7—7. Following that Saturday the varsity entered its traditional game witli Utah University at Salt Lake City. The R. M. C. champions finally won 34 7, but it was only after a hectic first half diat ended 7-7 with the Mor- mojist clearly superior. The tide of battle turned at the opening of tlie second half when a Y back fumbled the kickoflf deep in his owii territory and Utah recovered. They scored from there. With the advantage now of a lead the Utes played like the champions they were and converted the Y chance attempts to score to tallies of their own. CAI ' IM- W AM.M. AKD THE FRESHMEN SQUAD [79] Next Saturday B. Y. U. ran into another homecoming, this time at Gunnison, Colorado, where Western State College was playing before the old grads. The Mormons won 25—0. Following that, Brigham Young made it two in a row over Utah State A. C. in Ogden by upsetting the farmer hayrack for a 39—14 pruning. The Mormon team showed superb form that day, flashing as smart a game as any team in the conference during the season. At Butte, Montana, the following week the blue and white team ran into a keyed, madly fighting Mt. St. Charles eleven that tied the Mormons 13—13. From the point of view of the score, it was a disappointment, but taking the conditions into consideration, it was, perhaps, the most heroic and superb exhibition of fight displayed by the team. Meeting a team that was playing before a rabid home crowd, a team keyed to the highest pitch, when they themselves were experiencing a natural let-down aftei playing a hard key game the week before, the boys from the Mormon institution were strug- gling in an uphill battle to avert defeat. A St. Charles back ran the kickoff [82] for a touchdown that helped skyrocket the home team ' s spirit. Tired and worn by seven hard games in a row, nevertheless the courage of the hoys in blue carried them to a tie in a most remarkable demonstration of heroism and fight against tremendous physical and mental odds. No game should be lauded greater than ihat. Homecoming at B. Y. U. brought Montana State to Provo, and Ott Romney ' s boys trounced the Bobcats 19-6. Another Saturday and another game, this time at Denver with the surprisingly powerful Regis College eleven. B. Y. U. whipped the Regis team 18-6. Ott Romney and the squad stopped only long enough in the home town for one practice before legging it on to Boise for a Thanksgiving day date with College of Idaho. The strain of the gruelling season told and B. Y. U. but tied with the Idahoans 13-13. That was the last game on U. S. mainland soil, but not the last of the season. Brighani Young had a date with University of Hawaii at Honolulu for December 10, and left Provo on the morning of the first for the islands. The Hawaiians gave the Mormons their worst beating of the season. 49—13. [83] i Hawaii made over half their scores on blocked punts, which, strangely enougli, happened to be the only B. Y. U. punts blocked during the season. There was no alibi for the defeat but the fact should be stated, in fairness to the losing team, that the score was away out of proportion to the relative strength of the teams. Hawaiian newspapers acclaimed the game the most brilliant ever witnessed on the islands, and the same newspapers lauded the sportsmans hip, conduct, and high character of the Brigham Young boys. B. Y. LJ. placed one man, Paul Tlronie, halfback, on the official all- Rocky Mountain Conference first honor eleven. Critics acclaimed Thome one of the most powerful and greatest all-around backs of the conference. Other B. Y. U. players rated mention, two: Captain Elmer Dastrup, guard, and Bliss Hoover, halfback, placing on the second and third teams respec- tively. Brigham Young lost nine men from the 1930 squad. With some promising material from the frosh, and with a varsity line almost intact, the 1931 teanr should be as strong, if not stronger, than last season. I [84] Baskelball Varsity BaskethaU Brigham Young University, with the greatest array of basketball material in many years, played through a season of disappointing ups and downs which ended with the Blue and White team in second place in the Western Division, Rocky Mountain Conference standing, with seven wins and five losses. B. Y. U., the hard luck team of the conference, actually lost the cham- j - B pionship of the division by a total of three points. .l t ' With a very impressive pre-season record, meeting some of the greatest teams in America on a 6,000 mile tour as far east as Cleveland, Ohio, was generally favored as the league sea- son opened. As in football, the B. Y. U. ' s var- sity basketball team played one of the stiffest practice schedules of any team in the country, engaging in 19 contests besides its regular 12 Jf ' i game league schedule. Of the 19 practice games -Sl r — J ' iti the Blue and White played it was victorious in 12, defeating such outstanding rivals as Illinois Wesleyan, Western Reserve, Chicago U, Nebras- ka U, and Wyoming U, Eastern Division R. M. C. champions. The Mormon team lost to such powerful teams as Henry ' s Cloth- iers, national A. A. U. champions, Butler U, Marquette, and Wittenberg U. The conference schedule opened for Brigham Young on January 9 and the Mormons went into action at Provo against Montana State in a two game series, winning both contests. Two weeks later happened the disas- trous series that really lost the championship for B. Y. U. Utah U came to Provo with a veteran team of remarkably accurate long range shooters, taking both games by a total margin of 3 points. The first game went into RUSS MAGLEBY Captain [86 1 an extra period, Utah emerging victorious by one point, and the second game resuhed in an- other Utah victory, this time by two points. The next series was with the Utah State A. C. at Logan. Again the jinx of a small margin defeat slapped the Mormon five in the face, the Farmers this time triumphing by two points, but the next night B. Y. U. came back into the run- ning by soundly trouncing the Ags. Followed a series with Montana State at Bozeman and the Bobcats turned in the most decisive defeat of the B. Y. U. team in the season, and incidental- ly, one of the few decisive victories in this re- markable league. B. Y. U., however, stepped back the next night to turn the tables. With the necessity of winning the remainder of its games in order to win the title Brigham Young received Utah State at Provo and admin- istered two defeats to the Farmers. This, as Utah U had continued its winning ways, resolved the championship struggle to the final series be- tween B. Y. U. and Utah at Salt Lake, with the Redskins one game to the good. B. Y. U. was faced with the task of winning both games for no better than a tie. and Utah had to win but one to cinch the title. The nervous strain on the men of both teams was evident on the first night ' s game, the contest being rather ragged, but LTtah had far i)etter suc- cess at the basket than did Brigham Young and won the game and the title. The B. Y. U. players ' efforts at goal shooting was pitiful, as they outplayed Utah on die floor, but the iron hoop seemed actuallv closed to Ott Romney ' s men. The second night the Blue and White came back with a decisive vic- tory to insure second place for itself in the division. H Captain-Elect =ffl [87] I Utah University subsequently beat Wyoming University two games out of three for the championship of the Rocky Mountain Conference. Six of the members of the squad will be missing when the roll is called next season, the list including three men who have played four years as regulars on the varsity. They are Eldon Brinley, George Cooper, Russ Magleby, and Mark Ballif, Paul Thome, and George Staples. To take their places will be a group of young sophomores and juniors on whom is placed the responsibility of upholding the fine reputation of the chuch institution on the waxed court. Brigham Young placed its sensational sophomore forward, Elwood Romney, R. M. C. high scoring champion, on every R. M. C. honor team named. Other players received mention and places on various selections, the list including George Cooper, Russ Magleby, guards, and Eldon Brinley, forward. The honor that comes but to champions found subject in Elwood Rom- ney, captain-elect of the 1932 varsity quintet, when he was placed on Col- lege Humor ' s third all-American honor selection. The selection is one of the really official ones in the country and to place on it speaks myriads for the ability of a player. Romney, discussed with the fourteen other best per- formers in the United States, was found to have by far the highest average in point scoring of any of the others. The lithe B. Y. U. forward averaged 1.5 points per game, compared to 10 per game that his nearest honor com- petitor had. [90] Track -dm Track Squad -- RALPH NELSON Captain track events. It turned letes allowed B. Y. U. Brigham Young; University ' s track and field S(|uad had travelled far from the powerful agre- gation that in 1929 won the Rocky Mountain Con- ference championship, and some of the brilliant |)erformers of that year had travelled farther. Thus its was that the white and blue track and field out- look at the first of this season looked anything but a contender for any championship, nor even for victory in any meet, dual or state. The Owen Rowes, George Corbetts, Brad Jen- sens, Mark Reeves, Tony Bentleys, Les Wrights, were only names on the records of the church in- stitution ' s track chronicle. These had brought to Provo the championship. There was no substitute on the field of the Y stadium this year who could replace these phenomenal performers, and add to this the fact that the other institutions of the league !iad the most brilliant arrays of athletes that had graced one campus in years, and there was not nuich of a chance to crow about. Utah University, 1930 R. M. C. champions, laid for the Romney and Hart team at Salt Lake on Saturday, April 18. A pulled muscle took out of competition B. Y. U.

The final score was lOT A fbr Utah and 371 ;. for B. Y. U. Two Saturdays later Brigham Young met Utah State A. C. in another dual meet at Provo. Little ehance was given the Provo collegians to win the meet and the closest figuring could concede B. Y. U. victory oidy by a scanty point or two. Few expected a Brigham Young win init the boys turned in steady performances, breaking in here and there for unexpected points, and winning just about ever)- place that had been figured possible to win. The result was the closest of any meet in many and many a year. Brigham Young University won the meet by a score of 73 to 72. Even though Aggies made clean sweeps in the last tliree events of the meet B. Y. U. had things cinched in the hall mile race bv winning first ami second places. [93] Tlie highlight of that B. Y. U. -Aggie meet was the duel between George Staples, Y pole vaulter, and Carl Belliston, Aggie state record holder in that event. The two aces left the rest of the vaulters early and continued on past the state record height, both clearing tlie bar at 12 feet 7% inches (the record was 12 feet 6% inches.) At 12 feet IQlA inches Staples cleared the bar neatly but touched it with his hand coming down, dislodging it and failing but by that bare bit to record the new height. Two freshmen came through in this meet with stellar performances to win firsts and win letters in this meet. Reese beat the veteran Belliston in the high jump, and Lewis out-scampered the Aggie hurdle ace in the low sticks. Nelson, B. Y. U. captain, was supreme in the distance races, though allowing Romney to breast the tape before him in the mile race. This act of sportsmanship gave the sophomore basketball phenom the right to a letter in the sport. [94] In comparison with other teams of the Conference, and especially with that of Utah University, B. Y. U. appeared as a relative weak team. ])ut in realitv the church institution tracksters represented a good average college squad. Here could be said that, in truth, the Brigham Young team was not weak, but that it was in league with teams of exceedingly great strength. Point winners for B. Y. U. who will be absent when sunshine of the 1932 season calls out the track and field athletes include George Staples, pole vaulter; Leo Probert, middle distance; Paul Thome, weights; Boyd Rassmussen, sprints. These men will be missed sorely, but a crop of verv promising freshmen and sophomore performers are fast developing to carry the colors of the institution through the next season, and an exceptionally powerful group of junior athletes this year will form the bulwark of the 1932 squad. This book goes to print before the State and Conference meet and thus the absence of anything on those meets. It would be silly to altemi)t any jne- diction that B. Y. U. could win these meets, although a slight chance exists in the State meet. [95] The last page of the track section of this hook is devoted to intra-mural track and field contests, not for the reason of filling space hut hecause of a realization that these intra-mural contests hold an important place in the college program of athletics. Big days in B. Y. U. track and field intra-murals are the annual inter- class meet and the annual inter-social unit meet. The inter-class meet has been a yearly affair since 1926, and the inter-social unit meet has been a featured spring sport event since 1929. This year ' s intra-mural track and field meets were won by the Junior class in the inter-class contests, and by the Cougar Errants unit in the inter- social unit contests. The department of athletics of the University is planning and looking forward to a day soon when practically every male member of the student body will be out for the spring sport and compete as a member of one of the teams working under coaches who understand the training and handling of men in athletic contests. [Q6] Minor Sports Varsity Wrestling Brigham Young University wrestling is gradually regaining the high place in that sport that it once had and the year 1931 saw the Mormon team, under the tutelage of Coach Aubert Cote, former Olympic champion wrestler, sweep through to win the Western Division, Rocky Mountain Con- ference, champion over the most powerful array of collegiate wrestlers as- sembled in competition in many years. B. Y. U., in winning the divisional championship from Utah State, defending title holder, was forced to produce four champions and place every man it entered in the meet. The final score was: B. Y. U. — 32; Utah U. — 22; Utah State — 22; Montana State — 14. In dual meets preceding the divisional tournament Brigham Young faired indifferently well. Against the De ' seret Gymnasium grapplers the White and Blue showed to advantage, winning quite easily. Then followed a dual meet with Utah State, which resulted in a 16-16 tie. The Blue and W hite then met Utah U in another dual meet which resulted in another tie, 18-18. Utah state subsequently beat Utah U and automatically was recog- nized state champions. The work of several of the B. Y. U. wrestlers bordered on the phenom- enal, while collectively it was one of the best balanced teams representing the church institution in years. Especially outstanding was the performance of Captain Iman Hales, 16.5 pounder. Hales found little competition in hia weight either in state or divisional meet, and easily retained his title in that weight. Hales has yet to be defeated by a collegiate wrestler in a college meet. Another B. Y. U. defending champion, Neff Smart, 115 pounder, was the second to retain his title in that weight. The other two champions for B. Y. U. in the divisional meet were Vard Johnson, 135 pounds, and Bob Yorgason, 155 pounds. Hales and Smart participated in the intermountain A. A. U. meet held at Logan, each wrestling in two weights. Hales entered the 175 pound class and the heavyweight division, winning the former easily but losing in the final bout of the heavyweight division after two extra periods. Smart wres- tled in the 115 pound and the 125 pound class. Heavy entry in the 125 pound class necessitated to many preliminary bouts and Smart was forced to withdraw after winning his first bout in that weight. He proved supreme, however, in the lighter class and was crowned champion. Bob Yorgason, 155 pound divisional champion, was elected to the cap- taincy of the 1932 wrestlers. He will lead a team of grapplers composed of every one of this year ' s squad with the exception of but one. Several freshman and sophomore candidates are certain to develop into strong con- lenders next year and will be a surprise if Brigham Young does not repeat its championship performance in 1932. f 98] [99] THE VARSITY ' RESTLING SQUAD Varsity Tennis Producing some of the highest calibre of col- lege tennis players in the intermountain region, the undergraduate players in the State of Utah put on some of the classiest exhibitions of the court game in many years. In comparison, and in such com- pany, Brigham Young University ' s varsity tennis 1 H players, though playing great games, did not walk f 1 tlu ' ough to titles as it was wont to do in years past when the other colleges of the state furnished but feeble competition. Every one of the college teams of the state boasted of some of the outstanding players that could star in the intermountain meets and the tide of fortune turned with the winds of the day, so to speak, a champion being sure of his title only on the day that he won it. In other words, so even W L were the calibres of the players that one day ' s loser § ' vfljp quite often was another day ' s winner. Five lettermen formed the varsity first team of 1931. These experienced court men were Captain Paul Holt, Eldon Brinley, Kent Johnson, Clayton Jenkins, and Max Mangum. All but Max Mangum played for Brigham Young the previous year, winning their honor emblems then. Mangum re- turned fruni a three-year mission to rejoin the white and blue ranks in which he had previously won honors in intercollegiate tennis play. Tennis is a vastly popular sport on the campus, the intra mural meets bringing out a large number of players in excellently played matches. IKKl) ■I ' .ll.k ' n u Coach Howard Taylor, Melvin Jenkins.

Hettig, erstwhile Y News editor and sports writer, was appointed as student manager of intra murals, assisting Chick Hart, director. Team and individual contests were staged, the winners given appropriate awards and an accumulative point system for the sport championship for all year was adopted. Winners in the various contests were: Upper left: Champion of the class basketball tournament, the Seniors. Upper right: Champion of the winter inter-social unit basketball tournament. Cougar Errants. Lower: Champion of the inter-social unit fall basketball tournament. Vikings. Tausigs unit won the inter-unit free throw tournament. Neff Smart, Viking, won the spring tennis crown in singles play and Melroy Luke and Tony Sowards won the doubles championship. ? [ 102] Cleo After the misfortune of losing her mate, Cleo was transferred to Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. There, away from the Alnia Mater, whose emblem she is, she dreams of Tarbo and sunny afternoons in the cage on the slope of Maeser Hill. I 103] Tarbo Although the name of Tarbo is hardly mure than a tradi- tion since his demise a little more than a year ago, his spirit permeates every contest on the athletic field, and in the gym- nasium. A little more than a year ago Tarbo and his cage mate, Cleo, sallied forth from their home and for a short while tasted of the freedom that they had been deprived of for the most part of their lives. The shock of having to go back to the cage must have been too much for the noble Tarbo, for a few days afterward he was found dead in the cage. We have only the empty cage and a few photographs to keep alive the memory of the two great cats that sunned themselves on the slope of Maeser Hill. [ 104] ORGANIZATIONS ±N the infancy of any new country the rivers furnished the most practical highways into the interior. Where treks by horse or on foot over land would entail hazard and difficulty, the river allowed faster and safer transit. Trappers and explorers used the streams with their long reaching tributaries to explore fully the surrounding territory. Settlements sprang up along the banks of rivers because the water offered the most rapid means of intercourse between towns. ' - The Current BERNICE BARTON Most liepresentative Go-ed y I ._!

Their purpose is to promote a bond of fellowship among a group of men who have had experi- ences in common and who are drawn together because of these experiences. This organization is composed of five units, three college chapters and two alumni chapters. The college chapters are located at Brigham Young University, University of Utah, and the Utah State Agricultural College. The University of Utah has an Alumni Chapter in Salt Lake and the University of Southern California has an Alumni Chapter in Los Angeles. The installing of the Alumni Chapter in Califor- nia during the Christmas holidays marked the estab- lishment of the first Chapter outside of Utah. Since then inquiries have been received from the University of Idaho, Harvard University, George Washington University, New York University, and Columbia Uni- versity.

The name The Friars was officially changed to Delta Phi durini;; the April convention in Salt Lake.

A very fine social program has been carried out during the year; a watermelon bust, a hard-time party, a formal dancing party, a dancing party with tlie Prom decorations, cli- maxed by the Inter-chapter Formal Dinner Dance held in the Main Ballroom of the Hotel Utah on April 3rd. The Y Chapter ' s basketball team exchanged games with the U, winning the home game and losing the Salt Lake game. Paul Keeler very ably led the club during the Fall quarter and half of the Winter quarter, but due to hi; leaving school, Secretary-Treasurer Melvin McDonah was chosen to take his place and has retained the same enthusiasm that was manifest by Pres.

When the social unit system was started the Goldbrickers were the first to affiliate, becoming unit number 1. The Nuggetts stand for the highest development of the individual, socially, scholastically, and culturally. Socially they have a number of traditional functions, including an annual Thanksgiving formal, a New Year ' s party, a Nuggett-Tausig party, a Spring Formal, and a Spring Festival. The Nuggett members are prominent in debating, dramatics, music, athletics, and student government. The officers of the unit are: Ben B.

During the three years previous to litis, the Tausigs have offered a loving cup to be given to the highest ranking scholastic unit, but due to the fact that it was won three years in succession this cup passed out of existence. Tlie Sigs are now preparing to replace this cup with another one to show their appreciation of scholarship as attained by a group as a whole. Tlie Tausigs promote several parties as well as regular bi- monthly luncheons, one hobo party being held in the fall in conjunction with the Nuggetts as well as one unit informal while the annual winter formal occurs near the beginning of the winter quarter. A Salt Lake theatre party and spring informal occur during the spring season with a ' haywire ' party finishing up tlie social activities. Athletically, the Sigs also rank extremely high, finishing near the top in social unit competition eacli year, the past season bringing even better results than have odiers. Tlie captain of the 1930 football team, and the captain-elect of the 1932 basketball team are members of the unit while many other prominent stu dents, including the president of the senior class aiu the business manager of the yearbook, claim active membership in this active unit.

A group of eight fellows, most of them from Idaho, Oregon, and Wy- oming, met in an upstairs room of a boarding house during the winter of 1928, and formed what was to become the Val Hyric social unit. After three and one-half years the personnel has almost completely changed. The group is now very cosmopolitan, embracing members from the entire inter- mountain west and Canada. The same ideals, the same purpose, and the same binding friendship upon which tlie unit was founded still exist. Tlie units activities are many and varied.

Provision has been made for individual participa- tion in the leadership of all activities witli the hope that such social activity will be conducive to indi- vidual progress as well as to the enjoyment of whole- some entertainment.

This culminated in a Birthday Banquet, at which time the alumnae chap- ter of the unit was formed. The Nautilus was the first unit on the campus to orj;;anize its alumnae into an active, functioning group. Parties, of course, play their part. Hallowe ' en brought ghosts and crys- tal gazers to Springdell. The traditional Christmas formal of the Nautilus was an outstanding social event of the year. Distinctiveness marked each party. The annual Pep Vodie offered an opportunity for the Nautilus to match its originality with that of other units. For ten minutes the stage was transformed into the front of the gymnasium where newsies and co-eds coinbined their efTorts into an act that won first hon- ors. A glimpse at the opposite page partially tells the story. The Nautilus, recognizing the need for furthering scholastic standing, was the first unit to add to its constitution a provision for definite scholastic attain- ment from each of its members. Closely woven into each of these activities of the Nautilus, is a friendship that is treasured above all else.

The child Charmanta is but three years of age, born of charming co-eds at the entegration of the Social Unit system. She is a fair creature with a joyous disposition and a perseverance and friendliness that has given her strength to grow. Her eyes gleam with happiness and grow serious and resolute when there is a task to be completed. When the day of christening arrived, the duti- ful co-ed parents became very much concerned over a name for their child. It was their desire that she be a symbol of the idealistic qualities of the young women, who fostered it. Friendliness, poise and honor were bestowed as her birthright possessions. Out of this triad was incarnated the Gift of charm which was spelled Charmanta. For the year of 1930-31 Gertrude King has acted as president. Her assistants in office are cap- able workers, and under the direction of the heads, the unit has had a prosperous year. Their activities are many and varied.

With a background of black and silver, subdued lights and shadows, romance throbbed through strange fantastic trees and among the gliding dancers. In the center a huge fountain of light spread forth vari-colored illumi- nation. Hidden about the sides were more mellow gleams, stealing upward through weird old trees and casting wondrous shadows and tints upon the ceiling. Not merely a garden in the full bloom of spring, rather a futuristic elfland with all the glamour of unreality, mystery, dreams, and happiness. Music by Verdi Breinholt ' s Columbians completed the charming im- pression. Favors were milady ' s compact upon which was mounted the cou- gar ' s head over a block ' Y seal. Professor Eastmond assisted by Monta Wentz proved the source of inspiration from the Art department. Howard Cottam and Frank Harris led the construction work.

Electricity was the work of Clyde Sandgren and Ray Hart, who were much assisted by the Utah Power and Light Company. Farrell CoUett had charge of the clever art posters. While chairman Howard Kelly reported it a successful financial endeavor for the class. V. -V i7 r BANYAN ' 31 Utah Lake Our Utah Lake is very infantile at dawn. Her little fingers of water stretch eargerly up the sand and fall back as eagerly, leaving jagged finger- prints. She grins up in a beautific confidence with the sky, and covets its blue. She reaches little sparkles after the moon. Our lake is in her ' teens when afternoon comes, and she stretches and yawns in the sunshine, serene and undisturbed, or moves causelessly, rest- less with a queer untiring energy. She sparkles and shadows in turn because of little clouds. She is subject to sudden little squalls that blow away before a mere sunbeam. Our lake is middle-aged, and is very quiet at evening, indulgently let- ting children bathers clamber all over her, washing their faces and curling caressing fingers about their toes. She is strangely majestic, but strangely tender. The rising light of the moon grows upon her and she is crowned. Our lake is very old, just a little echo and a little remembrance of Bonneville, who died many years ago, leaving pretty valleys and a water- line traced across our hills. She remembers Escalante and his halting mes- sages to the people of the tribe of Timpanogos, who darted about in little canoes, and called themselves The Fish Eaters. She has looked up at the mountain named after them for hundreds of years without getting tired, but not without becoming very wise. We do not know how old our lake really is. But whatever her age, she is always very fresh and always very blue. —V.E. t 132] BANYAN ' 31 V [ 133] Provo River More than one hundred miles of liquid sunshine an animated shadow, Provo River dances down from the high Uintahs to the peaceful embrace of Utah Lake. Lined on both sides by lodge pole pines, alders, birches, elder- berries, and willows interspersed with cottonwoods, hardy, verdant residents of all Utah canyons, it has, since the days of the earliest Red Man, been dearly beloved by all those who know and esteem the out-of-doors. Many a picturesque Indian camp has nestled in the shadows of the peeks beside some placid pool from which the Red Man has drawn his sumptuous meal of speckled native trout; many an Indian lover has leaned above some birch-made hammock to whisper sweet nothings to dusky maids eager to hear the old, old story — the same in any tongue. For more than three-quarters of a century the Pale Faces have wandered along its shores, fished along its riffles, laved themselves in sparkling eddies. Provo River has been a source from which the Red Man, the Pioneer, and his descendants have drawn both pleasure and profit — pleasure from the coolness of the shade, the gameness of its fish, and the fragrance and romance of its flora: profit from its woods, its waters, its power, and from its ever present charm that lures thousands to its fastnesses. Following in the footsteps of their Red predecessors, the Pale Faced lovers have sat beside the misty waterfalls, have wandered pensively and tenderly among the lights and shades of friendly willows and trees, have canoed over its lower and more peaceful stretches out into the welcoming shimmering lake. Could Provo River speak, it could tell tales of romance, of often repeated promises, of pledges made in all seriousness of love — yes, of life itself. River of the silent Indian; River of the Trapper and the Pioneer; River of the First Settler and his Sons and Daughters; River of the Hundred miles of mystery and magic; River of Dreams fulfilled — Provo River, nourisher and provider, promoter of sociability among all classes from the first Red Man to the latest Ed and Co-ed, all Hail! —A ' . R. M. V. V I J BANYAN ' 31 Kock Canyon Rock Canyon! A thousand ghosts of a thousand fires will lin- ger there forever. Around them ten thousand skins of as many weiners will bleach in the sun and crackle under the snow for four times as many seasons — and the shrill laughter of Brigham Young University night revelers and mid-day mountain climbers will sound and resound from Squaw Peak to the Y mountain as long as time lasts. The age old challenge of Rock Canyon, which was probably felt by the first Indian to attempt to find his way up the fierce, yet friend- ly, floor of that rugged ravine, has been told of in legend and chanted in song since before the canyon was old enough to demand the dignity of a name. Indian maidens who followed their braves from rock to rock through this canyon probably handed down their secrets of the enjoyableness of the place to the Young men and women, who have, since before the annals of this institution were still in the pen, chosen some spot in that rocky pass as a rendezvous — a picnic ground — an astronomy room — a hiking trail — or a tent floor. Scarcely a student will leave the Y without taking with him some memory of Rock Canyon: a hot dog roast, a bug hunt, a lecturt3 listened to from the very rock upon which the Indian mother threw her papoose, a midnight hike, an unbroken vow memories! A Y playground Rock Canyon! W. S. [ 134] BANYAN ' 31 Y V The Social Unit System A social unit system was established at Brigham Young University in order to aid the students in getting the most out of college life. For more than half a century the institution has been a champion of democracy and at the same time it has fostered wholesome social contacts. It has endeavored to bring sociability even to the most timid student. During the early years of the University, when the student body was small, its social life could be carried on as one big unit of activity; but with the enlarged student body of recent years it has been necessary to make some method of division that would be small enough for closer personal contacts than could be had in gatherings of the entire student body. To meet this need a system of social units was introduced. In this system every student belongs to some social group. Until such time as students can lje affiliated with their more permanent groups they are members of reserve units which give them social opportun- ities of a temporary nature. A constant effort, however, is being made by the social units committee to get each student affiliated with his permanent group as soon as possible. The aims and ideals of the social units may be summarized as follows: 1. To discourage class distinction and stimulate the spirit of democracy. 2. To socialize rather than oslrasize. 3. To equalize social opportunities without discriminations. 4. To discourage excessive and expensive social activities. .5. To keep social functions on the campus and afford faculty super- vision. 6. To foster close and lasting friendship. 7. To provide means for the actpiirement of poise, tact, conversational ability, and all the social graces. 8. To encourage scholarship. 9. To provide a basis for intra-niural activities. 10. To have each Unit find its good in the good of the Student Body. [ 135] [136] EDDIES 13 EFORE railroads pierced the mountain passes and spanned th e wide plains, the arter- ies of commerce were the rivers. A greater amount of freight was transported from the coast around to the Gulf and up the Missis- sippi than could be taken over tortuous wagon roads, sometimes impassable after heavy rains. The journey was made much more quickly and cheaply over water than over land. The situa- tion of most of the large towns on the banks of the rivers made the stream the most practical of commercial highways. Parade. The band in full l)lare: Tlu Training Srliool.

A. A. Varied indeed have been the activities of the Women ' s Athletic Association this year. Under the leadership of that dynamic little executor. Miss Dorothy Hoover, the organization started out early on its ambitious program. The first function was that of putting on a program for the Associated Women Students in college early in the fall that was the peer of all such subsequent attempts. Winter came and basket- ball tournament interest was high, resulting, after spirited contest, in the Atheneae ' s unit winning the crown. The greatest of all girl ' s meet, part of the invitational relays, sponsored this year by the W. A. A. was pronounced the most successful ever. The acme of ambition in girls ' unit competi- tion is the winning of the beautiful Mullett Jewelry Trophy, and it is the motivating force behind all competition. Crowning the year ' s activities was the girls ' spring sport hesta, held on the upper side of the stadium. Miss Hoover represented the local chapter at the National Amateur Athletic Federation meetings held in Detroit early in the spring. Four girls, for outstanding merit and participation in girls ' sports, re- ceived student body awards. They are: Dorothy Hoover. Florence Fowler, Florence Speckart, and Lorene Randall. vv j l H iH)i;( j| in iiiii i n, President [ 157] W. A. A. ACTIVITY SNAPS President Dorothy Hoover (upper center) was easily the ideal leader for the W. A. A. this year when the organiza- tion ' s program was so full of activities that called for an executive of ahility and inspiration. More snaps of the girls ' in sportive mood. Hockey was no douht the most po|iular. Creative dancing claimed a large majority of the girls ' inter- est, and basketball was the reigning winter sport. [ 158] W. A. A.

Farm production from millions of acres of land depends on the water impounded by gigantic dams in streams. The power for run- ning machinery in factories is directly trace- able to the river power. In earlier days mills and factories were run by water wheels. Today, the power, generated by turbines in power plants at waterfalls and dams, runs the wheels of industry. Our civilization of today is founded on the river. Seniors BANYAN ' 31 Candidates for Master ' s Degree r ■ j v_ LORNA B. ALLEN M.A. Provo, Utah Major, History ILA DASTRUP M.A. Richfield.

It has its own heads, and is a unit separate in itself. It is housed mainly in the Arts Building, but the students take their classes in all departments of the school. The enrollment is small as high schools go, but the achievements of it as a school are second to none. Tire ideals of all of the Church schools are implanted in this body, and bear fruit when the students reacli the higher institution. Many of the leaders of the upper student body come from the Y High. Tlie Y High is a work shop for students majoring in education. The actual working with students is credited largely with the success of gradu- ates entering the teaching field. The students also benefit from the schools use as a training school because any new method and progress in education finds expression there.

The Y High finished second in its division this year, and came within a point or two of downing the fast P. G. quint, which took the division and nearly the state title. The fast little squad loses only one regular for next year, and things look bright for a great year.

The Banyan Lunch Just Across the Street How I Won the Election in 1930 By John Tonsils Dalton It happened in the spring of 1930. Neff Smart and I were aspiring to the positions of Yell King. The race was going neck and neck, and there were but five more votes to be cast. In a fever of feet, I mean, a fever of heat, I dashed down to the county jail to consult my campaign manager. He was busy dig- ging his way through the cement partition into the women ' s ward. He was irritated at my intrusion, but I found it necessary to stop him. He pecked away nonchalantly at the cement as I told him my story. Have you Ben Turpin? he asked. Have I been what? Do you have access to Ben Turpin, the movie actor? he asked, lifting his bleary eyes and looking at me. His arms got tired of holding his eyes, and he laid them down on the bunk and proceeded to tap at his drill. [ 198] S .St. BANYAN ' 31 AFEWAY STOKE Dis-rraii3iJ-riOi i -wi-tti-iou What do you want me to do, start a vaudeville? 1 asked, bewildered I am really serious, he answered, as the drill slipped and tore ihe toe nail off my left big toe. If you can get him here within four hours, we can still win the election. I took a phone from under the pillow of his bunk and telephoned a telegram. Ben received it in Reno where he had gone to sue for a l reach of promise. He stated that the officers wouldn ' t let him out of the state unless he dropped his suit. One suit was all that he had, so I asked liim to drop his shirt and come. He disguised himself as the carburetor on an Austin and arrived, by means of a stork, in Provo seven niiiuites before the polls closed. In the meantime I had told the five voters a gag that held them until Ben arrived. When he came, I had Mr. Turpin mount the old safe in the archway and give a long campaign speech for Neff. Of the five voters who were left, three of them looked Mr. Turpin in the eyes and decided that he was all crossed up. In this way I won by an eye. Neff protested the elec- tion on the grounds that it was a cock-eyed gyp, but I proved that it was a cross-eyed gyp instead and the final results were valid. V V V.

Perhaps it was because of my long sensuous looking nails; perhaps it was the exotic effect of the aquiline pipe that I wore in th thumb-hand side of my mouth; or maybe because I wore horn rimmed spectacles. Anyway she chose. There were four of us fellows seated around a table in Room D quietly nibbling at some broiled bolts ( I was nuts about bolts at the time), and were just topping off with a dessert of sliced bandanas and lumber soup when she stepped in. And stepin is the word. Without a word she glided up to the table next to where I sat, eating her curds and why, and looked me fool in the face. It was plain that she was laboring under some great excitement. Her mouth was set in a grim little line that she sucked after Dia : ' S CAFE Sjiecial Attention to Banquets and Parties OGDEN, UTAH [216] Tmrilliiii.

Most of them were direct descendants of tlie Jukes and all the rest were Flukes. So up in the right hand comer of the ballot right next to my opponent ' s name we printed my picture. Then, when the time came to ote, each voter took a look at the picture by my opponents name and promptly marked a cross opposite my name.

Don Juan lover (sometimes pronounced Doan Wanna, or Don Twanta), S.O.S., P.D.Q., B.O., Fee H.D., and M.O.F., after a period of al- most seven months contesting, won a neck and tale victory over Leonard Pease, for giving the most, dryest, and longest speeches in devotion- al before prayer. The official title is known as the General Announcer, and is conferred by the Federa- tion for Longer and Lauder Announcements. Points were given by the Federation on the basis of dryness, frequency, repitition, empty- ness, and duration. Demerits were allowed when announcements went under five minutes, or were discontinued before being finished. There is on record only one demerit. J. C. PENNEY CO.

Mr. Pease might have won the contest, but during a pro- longed speech, the air in his throat became so dry that he split a tonsil and was unable to continue. In this, he was required to forfeit one-fourth of a point, and his total dropped far enough that he was disqualified for the medal. The medal given by the Federation is a beautiful thing about five inches in diameter. Although it is synthetic, it is made in such a clever way that it appears to be made of genuine wrapping paper. Due to the practice of bull-rushing in the announcement speeches the award is made out of the stems of cat tails. The purpose of the Federation for Lauder Announcements is to keep the time sewed up tight for such a period as will discourage tlie speaker of the day from making his speech. It is estimated that Mr. Screamit alone, kept three hundred and seventy-five speakers on their seals although several of them sat on their ears. Mr. Howlet is shown in a general way in the photo on the opposite page. The snapshot was taken by Cahuncy Harrass, the staff photograjjher and undertaker. (He undertook some impossible shots.)
