W e are anxious to reach out farther, and now that we have our first qualifica- tion. we are on the mark ready to conquer greater problems. Vet we are sad to break the associations formed and cultivated during these lour years. As the school year draws to its close, feelings of loneliness begin to come over us. We realize that with the close of this year we shall meet no more as a class in the dear Manti High School. We shall miss the teachers whom we have learned to love and whom we appreciate more than they will ever know. For their labors and endeavors in our behalf we thank them. We shall miss our fellow students, with them we have spent so many happy days. Intermingled with this feeling of sadness is one of joy, the joy that come from a task well done, and although we, as a class can be with school no longer, our thoughts, rememberances and best wishes will always be with it. To those who have gone before us we say, “We are with you. welcome us.” To those who are to follow. “Treasure the memories of those days in Manti High. —18— IVAN L. PETERSON “Ivan L.

THE JUNIOR CLASS THE Junior Class of 1928 has a membership of seventy, happy, indus- trious students. Our first year of high school life was filled with thrills and new experiences. Out of the chaos of this year came a semblance of order and purpose, and as Sophomores we settled down to the stern busi- ness of getting an education. As Freshmen we were “led” by President Winston Crawford, who passed on the scepter to Don Brown, chief executive of our second year, and now George Swallow is supervising the serving of our educational menu. Rather than go into detail, we respectfully submit the following things and achievements for your earnest consideration: The Freshman Flop, the Sophomore Swing, the Junior Prom. “The Charm School,” the Co-ed Cul- ture Club, the High Life Club, our weekly magazine, and last but not least, we call your attention to the excellence of our daily work. Like true Juniors we view with pride our past, glow with enthusiasm over the present and turn to the future unafraid. — 22 — EDNA CHRISTENSEN “Curley’' ‘‘It s the practical things that count” BETH SI I AND “Mazook” “Your too dumb for one, you must be twins” GERALD OTTESON “Meats’' ..“Hub?

Men stood amazed, women wept for joy and all the universe joined in the acclamation, tis well a new group enters upon the stage of life. Such was the day, and that the method of ushering into existance a homogeneous group destined to add much color to this old world. Fond fathers looked over the trundle beds, and exclaimed, Aren’t they lovely children? Years passed—twelve, thirteen, fourteen of them. Today you greet that group as the Sophomore Class of the Manti lligh. Nothing extraordinary, yet equal to the common clay. Endowed with the latent powers that unlocks the caverns of the great unknown. The fall of 1926 found this group pussy footing about the halls of learning in search of greater keys for unlocking future possibilities. Douglas Clark was chosen to guide the ship of state. Landing safely in the “Harbor of Well Done.” Myron Mellor was trusted with the task for the second year at sea. Men of all classes praised the loyalty of the followers of these men. and now we look out upon the horizon to glance at the future of another year. V ilh the happy combination of work and some play we gaze into the unexplored future of our Junior year and say with the poet: Let each new temple nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Thou at length are free. — — VIKGINA HOUGAARD CLIFFORD BELLANDER WILBUR COX I LA DE ACCORD NAOMI MADSON LUCILE RIED SIGRID CHRISTENSEN GLEN KENNER GENE LUDVIGSON LORN A NEILSON LAVETA COLEMAN MARTHA HENRIE EUGENE SPECK DAVID ALDER RUBY McFARLANE DELLA LAVOTO GEORGIA HOUGAARD NORA RUST CLARENCE KEISEL BLAIN BRAITHWAITE MARY KING ALICE PETERSON CLARA EVERSHED JACK BAILEY ROY HANSON DOROTHY JENSEN BLANCH HALL GENEVIEVE ANDERSON DOUGLAS CLARK EDITH HARRISON — si — STEWART SHAND LOUDEEN HOUGAARD GLADE ALLRED President Vice-President Secretary THE FRESHMEN CLASS SEPTEMBER 15th. 1927, found the M. H. S. the center of attraction. A few infant yells introduced seventy-five Freshmen, who came to see if the school offered large enough courses for their master minds. After a few rounds of blunders thev were registered. The following day they returned with high spirits, and found it quite a treat to slide down the banisters and to play with the lockers between classes. But after a few suggestions from the upper classmen and the faculty, they decided that the whole building was not for physical education alone. Days passed. They began to apply themselves. Soon the instructors were convinced that what little gray matter the class had was rich in latent possibilities. Cooperation seemed to be the beacon light of the Freshmen group. As a result their basketball team came out with third honors in the class series. A clever affair in the class activities was the Freshman Hop. It was care- fully planned and all joined as one in making it a well remembered event. There is strength in large numbers—so is there in unity. The class of “’31” has the numbers, the power, ability, and unity to maintain and raise the standards of the Manti High School. To this we pledge our efforts. 11� CAROL KELLER BESSIE BUCHANAN WALLACE MADSON MAUD COX GLEN CARLSON MARJORIE WESTENSKOW GLEN MACKEY MAUD CHRISTENSEN ELNA CHILDS ROMONA MELLOR HENRY CHRISTIANSON HENRY LUND FAUN BRAITHWAITE REVA MADSON VERA WINTCH EARL BRAITHWAITE — 33 — HELEN OTTOSEN MERRIL ANDERSON MABEL BRAITHWAI I E ROVDEN BRAITHWAITE ENID CRAWFORD DIXIE REID BESSIE WOOLEV EVAN LOWRY ERVING MADSON JACK BROWN RENEE VORHEES BLODWIN PARRY VERA MUNK ELDEN STOTT RAY NIELSON ELLA PETERSON - 34 — DONALD ALDER RUTH WERNZ VERNA SHAND LOIS MADSEN WAYNE PETERSON LYNN KELLER EVAN MICKELSON EVELYN COOMBS ETHEL BENCH THELMA AXELSON JAY EDMUNDS THURMAN WESTENSKOW JOHN GARDENER LUCILE BESSEY I A M THE door to self-expression. I take the drudgery out of work, and make it a blessing, not a “curse.” I unfold your powers, discover possibilities you never dreamed of, and make your life a delight instead of a grind. I am the best investment you can ever make, for not flood or panic, no accident of fortune, no financial loss, no misfortune can rob you of the inestim- able advantages 1 bestow. I am that which rightly used insures a happy, successful life, a life that goes on expanding, growing, becoming richer, deeper, fuller, more helpful to the very end. I expand your ability, develop your initiative, enlarge your executive force, and make you a hundred per cent more efficient. I unlock doors to you that are locked to many millionaires who would give half their wealth to have me. 1 open up new beauties in life, give you refined pleasures and sources of enjoyment that no amount of money can purchase. I am that which trains your intelligence and judgment, and makes you a level-headed man or woman, one who cannot be deceived by peddlers of “get-rich-quick” schemes, or influenced by glib-tongued politicians to vote as they direct. 1 enlarge your vision, make you an enlightened citizen of the world— a power in your community or state. I make you a thousand times more valuable to society than you would otherwise be. Without me you can never be a fully developed human being. You wiil go to your grave with whole continents of undiscovered ability which, if found and cultivated, would have made you a leader of men. 1 made the past and the present your servants. 1 unfold to you the lessons of history and of science: open to you the treasures of art and litera- ture—I make you, in truth, “heir of all the ages.” I am that which a great scientist has described as the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.” I make everything you do easier and pleasanter to do. I am that which has changed many a low, sordid aim to a noble, lofty one; raised the ideal from a selfish ambition to amass a great fortune, to the desire to help humanity, to lift the burden from the oppressed and give them a fair chance in life. 1 establish ideals that lift your life to the highest plane of thought and endeavor. I am—A Liberal Education. Success Magazine. BASKETBALL TEAM W. H. PETERSON CLAIR JOHNSON THERON CLINGER ELLIOTT ANDERSON GIRVIN STOTT MORELL SNOW EI I.IS MAYLETT GERALD OTTOSON CLARENCE KEISEL RICHARD HALL BASKETBALL 'T' HE Manti High basketball quintette went through the 1927-28 season in splendid style, finishing in runner-up position. Con- sidering the fact that competition was particularly keen the showing w'as a creditable one. Moroni, Ephraim, Wasatch and Manti played fast, clever ball, and at the beginning of the season were considered to be in the same class. Wasatch being the largest aggregation finished in the lead, with a record of seven wins and one loss. Manti followed with six wins and two losses. Some splendid games were played during the season. Never before has interest been at a higher pitch, and never before has a clever or more brilliant brand of basketball been exhibited. A remarkable degree of sportsmanship was manifest in all games, a fact which marks an upward trend in the staging of these contests. Because of its clear, open playing, its sportsmanship attitude toward officials, and its speed, pluck and de- termination, this years squad, although one of the smallest the school has produced, has pleased our patrons, and thrilled the student body. It has been a credit to our school and our community. Following is a list of league games: Manti 24 Moroni 23 Manti 61 North Sanpete 12 Manti 36 Ephraim 27 Manti 16 Wasatch 30 Manti 28 Moroni 26 Manti 19 Wasatch 31 Manti 33 North Sanpete 18 Manti 25 Ephraim 24 SOCCER FOOTBALL Soccer football was introduced into the athletic activities of the school this year. Much interest and enthusiasm for the game was shown by the students. From the many boys who responded to the summons of the coach, an efficient team was selected which displayed skill and promising ability in the contests with other teams in the district. We won a game from Ephraim 1-0; tied in our first game with Gunnison 1-1; and in a return game at Gunnison we won 3-0. — 39 — FIELD AND TRACK A T THE TIME this material is being sent to press our athletes are conditioning for the inter-class field and track meet, which will be held April 6. At present it looks as if the Juniors are going to walk off with the honors. The outlook also indicates that a spirited struggle will take place between the Sophomores and Freshmen. In spite of the Sophomore apparent confident dopesters figure the Freshmen have a little the edge in the matter. With such men in training as Grant Cox, Theron Clinger, Don Brown, Richard Jensen, Vertis Hansen, Rex Carlson, Winston Crawford, Richard Hall, Gerald Ottosen, Niels Bogh, Udell Christiansen and a score of Sophomore and Freshmen, Coach Peterson thinks he will have one of the best field and track teams the school has produced. According to his opinions we may expect great things from Cox and Clinger. The Freshmen athletes are taking special interest in track and field events this year. The stimulus which is giving the added interest being the fact that they are planning to participate in the B. Y. U. Invitation Field and Track Meet, which will be held at Provo, Saturday, April 28. In our opinion these young stars are going to bring added fame to our athletic achievements. TENNIS Tennis is one of the most popular sports on the campus. Our dirt courts are not ideal for good playing, but still, many students make use of them and some clever players have been developed. In the interclass tournaments, Ethel Alder and Carol Reid, Melroy Luke and Claire Johnson were the doubles champions. No contest with other schools have been held but we look forward to competition of this kind another year. Plans have been adopted whereby the necessary finances will be obtained for the construction of cement courts in the near future, and with better courts more enthusiasm and greater competition will result. — to — DEPTS.

There has been an enrollment of seventy members. They have displayed a great deal of talent and interest. The Junior students chose as a class project the produc- tion of the play “The Charm School”, a delightful three act comedy by Alice Duer Mieler and Robert Mieler. It was presented the twenty-first of December, in the Manti Theatre. The plot centers around a young man who is heir to a girls school. He endeavors to change the curriculum from one of the three R’s” to one that will teach girls to be charming. The students are to be congratulated on the splendid presentation of their play. “Seven Chances”, the annual school play served as a fitting climax for the work in dramatics. The cast was chosen on a competitive basis. Any student successfully carrying three units of credit was eligible to enter the tryouts. The winners were chosen from a group of fifty students. This play is the story of a young man who has a for- tune left to him providing he is married by the time he is thirty years of age. When he received this information he had only twelve hours in which to fulfill the provisions of the will. This play was presented in a pleasing manner the four- teenth of April in the Manti Theatre. GEORGE SWALLOW LEATHA LOWRY LOIS SEARS CLAIR JOHNSON DEBATING DEBATING promises to be one of the outstanding ac- tivities of the students of the Manti High School this year, and according to present indications, our debators have an excellent chance of winning the honors in this line of scholastic competition. Eight contestants entered the preliminaries, and from these the four best debators, two affirmative and two negative, were chosen. Lois Sears and George Swallow, affirmative. Leatha Lowry and Clair Johnson, negative. Although our debators of previous years have never won the laurels in state wide contests they have made an excellent showing with the teams whom they have debated. The subject which has been choosen for high school debates this year is: Resolved, that buying on the installment plan should be condemned. — 15 — LOIS SEARS GRACE NIELSON THE ORATORICAL CONTEST ONE of the many ways students have of excelling in some particular line of work is in the contests that are held in the school. Each year on February twenty-second an oratorical con- test is held. A large group of enthusiastic students entered the preliminary try-outs. From that group five were selected for the final tryout. I he orations were well prepared and very well given. The Ladies’ Literary Club awarded a twenty dollar gold piece as first prize to Lois Sears whose subject was “The Spirit of America. Grace Nielson was given second place, her subject was “ The force of Character.’’ Beth Shand won third place her oration being “The Dawn of Tomorrow.” The following students entered the preliminary try-outs. Grace Bradley, Leath Lowry, Edith Johnson, Carol Keller, Beth Shand, Grace Nielson, Lois Sears, Maud Moffit, Glenn Kenner and Don H. Brown. — 46 — ORCHI-STKA AND BAND MUSIC DEPARTMENT THE Music Department had an enjoyable and successful year. Principal Johnson has developed a splendid chorus from the upper classmen. The girls chorus has been especially pleasing in their appearances before the student body and general public. The talent of the Freshmen class is very promising. This group has an unusual number of good voices and much is expected from them. Their operetta, “The Love Pirate of Hawaii , was well rendered and displayed their ability. A good deal of interest has been shown in instrumental music. Mr. Peterson has developed the best band and orchestra we have had for many years. On many occasions they have added pep and enjoyment to our gatherings. — 47 — ■ HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Instructors Domestic Science .... Miss Agnes Williams Domestic Art........................Miss Marine Fillmore The Home Economics Department has an enrollment of sixty one members. The basic objectives are: To develop interest in I lome- making, maintain skill and correct work habits, impress the members with the idea that the welfare of the race de- pends upon a balanced nutrition and proper clothing. To give judgment in choosing ideas of economy and manipula- tive skill. And lastly to improve our health standards and cleanliness. — s — THE VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT THE State Department of Vocational Agriculture designated the Manti I ligh School last fall, a Smith-1 lughes or Vocational Sch x l. This brought about a bigger and better course of study than those offer- ed in previous years. Smith-Hughes work combined the practical side with the theoretical in an attempt to give the student a well balanced course in agriculture and farm mechanics. Each student registered in the course agrees to take an agricultural project and carry it on to completion. The projects entered this year are: poultry, dairying, sheep and swine husbandry. This activity results in not only theoretically trained but skilled work- men. Our aim is to produce efficiency in farming. The forty-five boys enrolled this year have been trained on a scientific basis and if they con- tinue to follow their agricultural studies should become leaders in that activity. The foundation is thereby laid for improved methods in our farming industry. THE COED CULTURE CLUB To encourage refinement and higher school standards the Junior Girls organized the Coed Culture Club. Grace Bradley, the leader, was elected as president. A constitution was adopted and a motto was put into practice. During the school year the club has presented several programs in assembly, a number of unique parties and sponsored the Hallowe'en Costume Ball. At every game we have been on hand not only to let our voices be heard, but our members have acted as ushers. We have greatly enjoyed our work and our best wishes go to future Junior Girls, that they may continue their work in this spirit. — no — HIGH LIFE CLUB THE year of 1927-28 marked the organization of one of the greatest boys clubs in the history of the school, the High Life Club. This peppy bunch, composed of the Junior boys, was organized for greater activity in advancing and upholding the standards of the school. A constitution was formed which has been followed very closely, and which states, among other things, that “we foster pep and uphold the moral standards of the school.” This constitution also prohibits smoking among its members, and makes it necessary for the “Big Chief”, Theron Clinger, to call a meeting at least once every two weeks. The other officials of the club are “Little Chief” Rex Carlson, Claws” Winston Crawford, and T. N. T. Among the many accomplishments of the H. L. C. this year are: the. weekly publication of the High Life Special with George Swallow and Chesley Eliason as staff: pep rallies preceding basketball games; a dance; and an assembly program. The club expects to capture the laurels, in track and field events this spring, as some of its members are the school's best athletes. • 51 — Now morning from her orient chamber came And her first footsteps touched a towering bill.

APPRECIATION THE Clarion Staff express their sincere appreciation for the co- operation of the students and faculty in publishing this Annual. We have tried to make this book as representative of High School life as possible. If in after years these pages bring happy memories of your high school days, it has accomplished its purpose and fulfilled our desires. I SNOW COLLEGE Ephraim, Utah THE Junior College is considered the best place for High School graduates by most of our prominent educators. Junior colleges are here to stay because they fill a real need. Our own state university has spoken through its President and Board of Regents as favoring the Junior College over its own present condition. Advantages of a junior College are: I. Personal contact and interest of faculty with students. 2. Small classes for recitation and laboratory purposes, thus giving each pupil a chance to find himself or herself. 3. Sympathetic attitude of all in each other. No upper class- men to haze and intimidate. 4. Leadership developed when needed most. All student body offices filled by Freshmen and Sophomores. In the universities ninety per cent of all officers are from upper classmen. 5. No fraternities nor sororities to tear the social life of student asunder. 6. Extra-curricular activities are just as numerous in Junior colleges as in the Senior colleges and all filled by Freshmen and Sophomores. Snow College is not an overgrown High School where most of the interest rests in high school subjects and students, because of being in the majority. Snow College does nothing but college work. You get a real college atmosphere here without sacrificing personality. The faculty of Snow College are teachers of eminence, having University training, and are sympathetic with the young men and young women, but demand real scholarship in the students.
