Ffeople sat on flag poles, danced in marathons, and stood in bread lines. Nobody had any money so they stayed home and played games like Bingo,Monopoly, and Charades. Or they listened to the radio at the neighbors. Favorites were Fibber McGee and Molly, Amos and Andy , and Major Bowes' Amateur Hour. Walter Winchell started his news cast with Good evening Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea. Franklin D. Roosevelt started several relief programs, the most famous of which was the W PA, a $4,880,000,000 program. Garfield County got its share. The Fort Feck Dam, the dam west of town, the high school ,the dorm, miles of roads and numerous toilets were all government projects. There was also a CCC Camp east of town. Gina Foster coached the girls’ basketball team. Facilities were primitve. One time they had to change their uniforms in the out- house at Cohagen and one girl lost part of her uniform down the hole, but it was rescued. Most houses in Jordan did not have inside plumbing or elec- tricity. The only phone in town was at Foster's Drug. A fountain was put into the Drug store where one could get a soda if he had the money. During those years about everything was If you had the money. . . Ffeople paid Dr. Farrand with wheat, firewood, horses, or anything they had, if they paid him at all. Jobs were hard to get so even though the school was on a tight budget, they hired some teachers with PhD’s. It was in the 30’s that the Mustang got their name. Maybe to counteract their hard life people idolized entertainers such as Shirley Temple, Clark Gable, Mae West, Rudolph Valen- tino, Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, and Will Rogers. Admiral Byrd, Amelia Earhart, Huey P. Long, Howard Hughes, and Lindberghs were names in the news. Songs kids were singing were Thanks for the Memories , Two Sleepy Ffeople , and A Little Street Where Old Friends Meet . Dan Saylor

SHAKESFEARE UP TO DATE Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind —the faculty giving demerits. He was a man take him for all in all; I shall not look upon his like again —David Huston. He waxes desperate with imagin- ation —Kenneth Wilson. Brevity is the soul of wit — Leonard Hallberg. He doth confess he feels himself distracted, But from what cause he will by no means speak. - -Glen Childers. What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed?—Sterling West. He speaks an infinite deal of nothing. ” —Clell O'Connor in the library. And where the offense is let the great ax fall —the faculty's motto.
