Cy Iount Jordan The faint auroral flushes of the dawn Along thy craggy rim appear. Grow brighter, brighter, till the morning sun Ascends to give his word of cheer. Fair, noble, commanding Mount Jordan. With noon-tide’s sultry beam thy snow-clad peaks Lie silent in the distance calm and cool. The hazy clouds float lazily along Thy summit white as carded wool, Calm, restful, inspiring Mount Jordan. As evening’s gentle breeze ivajts down the vale And in the west descends the setting sun. You catch the last of all his radiant gleams Before they fade from view, vanished and gone, Tall, silent, beautiful Mount Jordan. —Elna Densley. Oh mighty, silent sentinel. Beneath whose guardian care Our valley homes lie sheltered all, Secure beyond compare. Could we but trace through aeons past The building of thy base. The superstructure reared thereon. The mold where thou wert cast, Could human minds conceive the power Which reared thy head on high, And elevated crag on crag Until they reach the sky. Then should we know infinity. Power, endurance, grace. The grandeur and the symmetry Through which God shows his face. —Katie Jensen.

1 p?r ©®E aK] ffln[ Foreword NOTHER year has sped swiftly past and one more chapter has been added to the history of Jordan. Our pleasures, our ac- tivities, and our successes we have at- tempted to record on the pages of this vol- ume. It is our hope that the material assembled here will revive memories of the happy hours spent at dear old Jordan High in the school year of 1921-22. Inasmuch as former yearbooks were nameless treas- ures, the staff decided to conduct a contest for the pur- pose of selecting a fitting title. It was our ideal to designate therein some prominent feature of the dis- trict which the high school represents. After careful de- liberation we chose, as most appropriate, “The Beet- digger” the name under which our athletes have fought and conquered. Realizing that without co-operation we could never have published this volume, we here wish to express our sincere appreciation of the support we have received from student and faculty members, especially from Miss Gardner, who directed the art work, and Miss Horst, who had general supervision of the book.
