Those years have meant study, friends, joy and recreation—they have been our life. They have brought to us infinite happiness and a sense of the value of true accomplishment in education. We have endeavored to be to the school all that the word “student” implies—to keep faith with its motto “Self-realization” and to be true to its standards. Day after day, week in and week out, months and even years these walls and halls have echoed and re-echoed to our footsteps, our merry laughter, our more serious mo- ments. They have listened-to our hopes, ambitions and desires and with an understand- ing silence have safeguarded us. � % Page 12 RENEE VOORHEES ROYDEN BRAITHWAITE DIXIE REID ENID CRAWFORD REVA MADSEN LaRUE MICHAELSON LYNN KELLER WAYNE PETERSON EARL BRA ITH WAITE FAUN BRA ITH WAITE MABEL BRA ITH WAITE LOIS MADSEN MAURICE ANDERSON ELDON STOTT VERA WINTCH HEI EN WHITING BESSIE BUCHANAN WALLACE MADSEN GLEN CARLSON HENRY CHRISTIANSEN MARJORIE WKSTENSKOW JEAN LARSEN MAX LARSEN ARM AND WHITING CAROL KELLER (Not in Picture) M I DE COX BLAINE BRA ITH WAITE VERA MINK MARR ALLEN VERNA SHAND JOHN GARDENER ELVERDA SMITH THE Manti High School is filled with memories for us—memories of all that we have held dear and wc hope they will ever lurk in the shadows of these walls to guide future students along the path of life. Of necessity we must cast a backward glance. We see our Junior classmen frolicking on the playground of the happy past, toil'ng in the field our intellectual spades have helped to dig and turning their faces upward toward our present positions. As we hold our diplomas we feel the warm, firm fingers of our A’ma Mater entwine themselves about our heartstrings and we know that we shall never really be very far away from her pro- tecting spirit. We have worked, we have achieved—we will ever move upward. Classmates, stu- dents, Faculty, Au Revoir! —LUDEAN HOUGAARD. Page 13 DONNA HANSEN Secretary-Treasurer LENOKE REID Prom Comm.

Three short years ago we had just graduated from the eighth grade and were eligible to participate in the fuller, finer and more varied life of the high school. We grasped the opportunities presented us and for three wonderful years we have worked together in a splendid spirit of cooperation. This activity has led along the paths of friendships and idealism toward greater knowledge and finer character Page 14 LA RUE FUNK PEARL DENNISON MILDRED PETERSON LUCIEN BOWN LEWIS WESTENSKOW GWENETH TATTON BLAIN PEACOCK FRED CARPENTER JENNIE McFARLANE LEAH BOYINGTON GRANT BUNDERSON ZELDA WHITLOCK NORDA ALLEN ALLEN FUNK HAZEL MICKELSON NED NEILSON LESTER LYON RAMONA SORENSON LEONA ALBRECHTSEN BLANCHE BRAITHWAITE ETHEL MAYLETT LUCILE CHRISTOFFERSON FENTON DeMILL ELTHORA CHRISTENSON LIONEL KING LYMAN CHRISTIANSEN DELBERT LARSEN ERROL NIELSON LYNN LARSON (Not in Picture) RAYMOND HENRIE VENICE SCOW WILLIAM CHRISTA INSEN MILDRED LOWRY DAISY QUINN WALLACE TUTTLE VAUN CHRISTENSEN TOM HOUGAARD MERKIAM ANDERSON LETA COX ERMA MERKIAM WOODRUFF WILLARDSEN HAROLD WHITLOCK IF at times our work has been hard and monotonous, we have always had opportunity for a deep appreciation of that invisible thing we know as school spirit.

Now, Classmates, may we uphold during our remaining years at school,, the best traditions of the M. H. S. and go beyond the accomplishments of other classes and carve a name for ourselves that shall remain as an ideal for others. —Lenore Reid.

When we first crossed the threshold as Freshmen, we were timid and afraid; but during the past year we have begun to understand that high school means more than studies—it means loyalty to standards—adherence to traditions as well. We are glad to be a part of this student body—to do our share to keep unsullied the red and white.

So hurry and let no joy escape you. Maintain highly her ideals and her standards of scholarship. Keep faith with those who have gone before. Eagerly we reply—“We will keep faith with those of the past and will be true scholars ever seeking for the best things in life. Page 17 JACK SI!

It took us some time to learn that the gymnasium was the place to more highly develop our physical beings instead of the halls and classroom and through persistent efforts from the faculty we soon concluded that elastics were not made to be used as muzzle-loaders and that chalk and paper were not intended for ammunition.

Yet we feel sure that the class contains in embryo, future presidents, governors, commis- sioners, educational leaders, and many other celebrities. We arc still young in the dear M. H. S. but we arc rapidly learning that the school holds much in store for us, that our opportunities for growth and activity are unlimited. If we stick lo the standards of society as evidenced in our school we will be better and more efficient men and women. As the Freshmen class of 1930-31 let us determine to enrich our lives through true service to our school and our associates ACTIVITIES Ba$ketl)(ill Team E. E.

The Senior class won first place in the interclass series, and most of them made the school team. Although few of the regular players will be back next year we are expecting Coach Bunnel to develop a fast team out of the second team of this year which has made a creditable showing. Field ami I rat k 'VUR PROSPECTS in the field this year are very good. Al- though not many of the athletes have had previous experi- ence, we are expecting great things of the men this spring. The Freshmen and Seniors are showing very good promise along this line. Tennis DOTH boys and girls of Manti High are agreed that tennis is a popular means of recreation and contest work. We are looking forward to a successful season in this sport. The con- tests for this school year are being planned and scheduled. Many of the old stars are back with us, but judging from the signs of the times, new' recruits wdll give them a run for honors.

This activity, in connection with general school work, has afforded a wonderful opportunity for development along this line, and gives a chance for higher scholastic attainment. This year nine enthusiastic students prepared orations and entered the contest. In the preliminary tryouts the number of contestants was reduced to four. Verna Shand, Lila Lowry, Ramona Mellor, and Wallace Madsen were chosen to represent the School in the final contest on Washington’s birthday. The Orations were all deserving of much credit. Miss Ramona Mellor, whose subject was “Lincoln, Defender of the Union,” was awarded first place ; the prize being a $20 gold piece. This was sponsored by the Alumni associa- tion of the Manti High School. We take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the in- terest taken in this work by the alumni, the members of the school and the general public. Page 26 Dramatics ‘'TAKE MY ADVICE”, the 1930-31 annual competitive play, was an un- precedented success. Many entered the tryouts held on Oct. 12 and the Students who were selected represented the best talent in the school. The judges of the tryouts were Miss Phillips and Miss Nelson of the Snow College and Mr. Greaves of the Ephraim High School. From the date the cast was chosen until the play was presented in the Manti Theatre on Nov. 29 the cast worked and rehearsed incessantly under the very capable coaching of Miss Ostlund. A matinee and an evening performance were well attended and the pre- sentation enthusiastically received. Our play was presented Dec. 18 as a matinee performance at Ephraim and Ephraim High Scool brought their play, “Jonesy,” to the Manti Theatre for a like presentation Dec. 22. Manti High School offers sincere congratulations to all who made the success of the 1930-31 annual play possible. THE CAST Ramona Mellor .... Ann Weaver Stuart Shand ....

The school and community combined their efforts and talents to make it the biggest and best thing ever presented in our town. It will be long remembered for its sparkling music, witty dialogue, beautiful costumes, new scenery and delightful and happy chorus members.

The musical talent developed has won high recognition, and the school has always been noted for its musical accomplishments. The Orchestra of thirty members handle their instruments well. Some students have belonged to the organization for four years. The group have contributed to assembly programs, church and com munity activities and have played for the High School operas. Each year’s concert is given by the group. We are proud of the fact that a Sousaphone has been added to the bass section this year. The instrumentation is at present closer to a well balanced orchestra than we have had for some time. We hope to use a cello another year. Selections of a difficult type have been studied and presented to the public, including overtures, marches, waltzes, etc. We hope that the orchestra of future years may continue to grow and uphold the reputation which is now ours. Pag; 29 I lie B«iml I 'H1S organization has developed and advanced very much in the last two years under the leadership of Easton Moffit. Mr. Moffit has increased and balanced the instrumentation of the band such that overtures and other high class music can be played effectively. The band has taken a very active part in school activities and public entertainments. During the past two summers they have given Sunday after- noon concerts on the High School lawn. They have played for holiday pro- grams and political meetings. The past two years they have played for the County Fair. Last spring the band went on a concert tour to Pleasant Grove and American Fork High Schools, where the members enjoyed themselves and acquired a very valuable experience of appearing before a strange audience. With the money earned at the County Fair and with the contribution that the city made they have bought a Sousaphone horn which is very essen- tial to any musical organization. This horn is a mark of attainment that all the band boys are proud of. The band has an enrollment at the present time of forty members. These members have been advancing in attaining a musical education. With proper instructions, sound hacking and general enthusiasm it is an earnest desire that the band will continue to grow and develop in the future. Pay© 30 lloim hoiioNiii y Dep«irtmf iit O KVENTY girls are enrolled in this department. Courses in foods, clothing, applied art and honiemaking are offered. The aim of the courses in this field is to foster better home membership through the development of high ideals and proper attitudes. The objectives in clothing are to buy wisely, care for. judge qualities and construct clothing. In foods proper standards of nutrition, balancing of meals, diets of the family, marketing, and food preparation are units of instruction. Senior girls taking applied arts and homemaking are concerned with art in its practical phases, and problems in home management. The girls in the department are gratified for the opportunity to learn and expect to show their appreciation by being better and more efficient home members. Hago 31 VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT l ulurc I «h um r% of America 1_JEREAFTER the agricultural club of the Manti High School will • A be known as Future Farmers of America. This is a national organi- zation of high school students. The Manti Chapter of Future Farmers of America was presented its chapter at the annual banquet this year by Superintendent E. T. Reid. There are four degrees of recognition obtainable by Future Farmers: 1st. Green Hands, which include the Freshmen students in Agriculture; 2nd, Future Farmers, all second year students; 3rd, State Farmers, any outstanding students in agriculture voted in at the state convention in October of each year; 4th, the highest degree one can attain, the Amer- ican Farmer. Page 32 VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT At the beginning of the school year each Agricultural student regis- ters for classes in Agriculture and shop, and projects to be worked out individually outside the school room. One and three tenths units of credits are given when the work is completed. The class work is of an individual type. Each student senses his re- sponsibility for success and work is done accordingly. The outstanding feature of the organization is the selection of a livestock judging team consisting of three students, who participate at the county and state fairs. Numerous trips about the community in preparation for this and other agricultural study, are taken throughout the year making the work more practical than class room work. The annual banquet of F. F. A. in honor of project completion day was held this year for the first time and was declared a real success. In the future we hope to carry on this activity each year as evidence of pro- jects successfully completed. Sciiiorcttc Clui� ' I 'HI ' Seniorette Club was organized this year by the peppiest group of girls in school. Bessie Woolley was chosen as president with Bessie Buchanan and Geniel Fisher as counsellors. Organized for the purpose of keeping pep and enthusiasm alive, we have attended all basketball games and done much to keep the sixth man on his toes. Senior girls have acted as ushers at the games. Outside of our support at games, our accomplishments are many. The Halloween Confetti Carnival we sponsored was no mean affair and shall long he remembered by those who were present. “The Echo”, our issue of the school paper, was worthy of notice after having been assembled and edited by Geniel Fisher with her assistants, Maurine Kjar, Bessie Woolley, Helen Ottosen, and Blodwen Parry. The Senior boys were entertained at a banquet and dance. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Judd were patrons at the very successful function. We intend carrying on our activities until the close of 1931 when we shall say farewell to Manti High School hoping that the Senior girls of future years may carry forward the torch of school spirit that we have kept burning. Page 34 Senior Boys Pep Club AT VARIOUS times in the history of, the school, boys and girls have organized in groups to foster greater interest and activity in school functions. As a result the members individually feel that they are a more vital part of the institution than they otherwise would be. In the fall of 1930 a peppy group, the Senior Boys, was organized for greater activity in advancing and upholding the standards of the school. A constitution was adopted and our motto, “We foster pep and uphold the moral standard of the institution,” was put into practice. Our club has helped produce many worthwhile things for our school, such as weekly publications, and pep rallies preceding basketball games. In addition to these accomplishments we have sponsored parties, matinee dances and assembly programs. Under the guidance and leadership of Royden Braithwaite, president, and Glen Carlson, vice-president, we have directed aims, modeled opinions, and brought added pleasure to our members. We have greatly enjoyed our work and our best wishes go to the future Seniors Boys. May they continue the work with the same spirit. Page 35 High Court Sorority S THE adventure-mad boys of today marvel at the tales of Scotland Yard, so shall the lower classmen of the future read with deep interest the chronicles of the “High Court Sorority,” which was organ- ized by the Junior girls in the fall of 1930. From the thirty-five Junior girls who held membership in the club, Ruby Tatton was elected Chief of Police ; Merl Denison, Sheriff; Mildred Lowry, Marshal; Leah Boyington, Prohibition Officer, and Jennie Mc- Farlane, Detective. The motto “Make the best better,” has been carried out in the various papers which we have published, the assembly programs, dances, and peppy club meetings held. It is our ambition to make our motto literally true by making the best better in every worthwhile activity, scholastic, athletic, civic, and social. Page 36 Keep your eyes upon the “High Court Sorority!” Coii Corthcin Clui� 'T’HE Junior boys of 1930-31 organized one of the most active A clubs in the history of the High School, the Con Cordian Club. Fred Carpenter was elected president. This active group of boys was organized to uphold the standards and activities of the school. During the school year the club has given several assembly programs, parties, and dances. They also foster pep and uphold the moral standards of the school. We have greatly enjoyed our work and our best wishes go to future classes of Junior boys, that they may continue their work in this same spirit. Page 37 TIm? l |M� nlino 1« |� ,n1mi« jiI 'yHE twentieth century is an age of speed and efficiency—the value of machinery cannot he denied. For this reason man is no longer content to use pen and pencil, the out worn tools of writing. He demands training in the use of a typewriter, in order that his written work may he finished at a faster rate and he more legible, accurate, neater in appearance. This demand is gratified in the Manti High School where the ar- rangement of classes permits each student to complete a full course in typewriting. Realizing the practicability of the course 45 per cent of the enrollment of the school takes advantage of this opportunity. Under the competent instruction of Mr. Bailey regular classes go forward with efficiency, order, and speed. Page 38 High Sf luM� l Memories f By «1 I i« Iiiii«im SEPTEMBER September 13—“September morn I’ve loved you since I was born.”—At last the day for the beginning of my high school career arrived. They could have at least opened the doors by 7:30. Some gawky Senior told me I was supposed to register but I couldn’t find either a clerk or a Big Book to put my name in. After hours of consultation and with the aid of the Faculty in general and Mr. Bunnel in particular I managed to dirty a lot of paper with some pretty blue ink and they told me I would now be recognized as a full fledged greenling. 1 surely wish mother could go with me tomorrow. I’ll be so afraid. September 15—I still don’t believe that girl gave me the right locker combination but it’s a lot of fun to try to open it. Gee, those upper classmen are wonderful. I do hope they soon give me a break. It’s strange they haven’t already. September 19—We've certainly missed the male population while they’ve been deer hunting. I can’t see what there is about it to be so thrilled over, maybe it’s just the idea of getting out of school. September 25—They made us elect class officers this morning. I don’t see why when we’re perfectly happy without them, and it’s such a bother. September 26—I’m a wee bit weary after being initiated. I had been hoping for days that we would get a proper introduction into the High School, but was rather surprised, anyway. It was a cruel jar to my pride when I didn’t have to suffer as much as the rest. After giving our performance in Assembly we played Daniel Boone in the Foothills and got back just in time to go to the first Student Body Dance. Imagine how emharassed I felt when my legs refused to wiggle in the right direction. September 29—Even though school teachers lose their youthful figures, they retain their athletic ability. This is proven by the fact that they won out in the Volley Ball Tournament. Pafle 40 OCTOBER October 3—With the proper amount of dignity and pep the Senior class gave the Assembly this morning. The president was a trifle nervous, you know how it is, hut the program was “enjoyed by all.” October 8—After days of anxious waiting the grand event finally arrived, and speaking of thrills, this beats them all. My suppressed desire and myself walked all of the way up there. The whole school was there, they always are for the Annual Weinie Roast. Its’ strange lights on the hills, the program and all, in fact I was so entranced that I fell into some unannounced creek. Anyway we enjoyed the weinies. It's more fun than going to the County Block. Octoher 10—I never appreciated Columbus until today. On account of his birthday they had an assembly. I failed to learn anything that I didn’t already known hut it's allright to review a few facts. They’ve got to do things like having assemblies or we'll never appreciate great men. October 14—My temper is certainly disturbed. The heads of this school didn't know anymore than to put into use some of those things called Hall Directors and so all my fun’s spoiled. Certainly too bad when you can’t slide down the banisters and not talk loud in the halls. It was kind of the Applied Arts Class to explain what all those things on the wall in the auditorium are. I had the impression they were blotches of varnish spilled at the time the building was constructed. Today seemed a day of artistic labor, because there was nothing slow about the volley hall game this afternoon with Ephraim competing with us for high honors. October 17—Just when school was in full swing the teachers had to de- clare a holiday. Couldn’t tell any difference in them when they came back except that Mr. Judd had a new suit and I can’t see why he had to stop school to go buy it! I’ve seen a lot just as pretty in any of the latest mail order catalogues. If you ask me I’d say this U. E. A. isn’t up to much. October 24—After considerable difficulty in making preparations the Juniors gave an assembly. Mr. Sweetring gave us some food for thought. October 28, 29, 30—Two afternoons of rather interesting basketball games made us more than enjoy the closing day of the class series. Even though the Freshies didn’t take first place which we rightly deserve, we ended up with third honors. I believe we’d have done better only Reed Riddle refused to wear his jersey. October 31—The Carnival Dance was a shining success. I had planned on going in my last summer’s bathing suit but at the last decided in favor of a fairy costume. There were some unusual sights as you can easily believe. Helen and David were there as Romeo and Juliet, Stuart was posing as Rudolph Valentino and Beulah Cox was an Egyptian Mummy. NOVEMBER November 7—We freshies scored our first triumph today by putting on the assembly. We found that Raymond and Welby would soon be the suc- cessors of Rudy Wiedoft and Sousa respectively. Mr. Bunnel also made hie debut on assembly programs by offering prayer. The second surprise of the day was when the Senior Girls published a sheet of High School and Village Gossip. It assisted we Freshmen in getting up on some otherwise unknown scandal. We really aren’t so green we’re just waiting for opportunity to knock. November 11—My heart’s been a flutter all day since Mr. Ecker told me I had the most charming smile he’d seen. He’s been making a photographer’s study of all the faces in the school and copying them for the year book. One would have supposed that Rudy Vallee was going to pay us a visit the way everyone attempted looking becoming. November 14—With a snappy program and a paper the Sophomore class proved that they were still attending our school. They’re really a lively gang. I ust get them started. November 21 The entertainment offered by the Junior Girls Club took our minds off the oncoming final exams and introduced to us the two modest and retiring Saxophone players—Eva Beal and Beth Madsen. November 24—Due to over exertion in a preparation for final exams the Faculty thought we were too weak to carry our report cards home and so our parents came and did the job for us. Strange to say I didn’t rate as high as I had expected. November 26—In an attempt to get back our love which flew out of the windows when the Faculty summoned our parents, the instructors took charge of the program. It was enjoyed very much even though the only number which they assisted in was the prayer. After hearing the story of the Prodigal Son returning home to enjoy the fatted calf, school was dismissed for the Thanksgiving recess. Of course this season of the year is rather hard on the digestive organs but otherwise I suffered no ill effects. November 29—Here I am going to tell you a secret—I’m leaving for Hollywood or Broadway. After seeing the Annual Competitive play, I’ve de- cided I want to be doing things along with John Gilbert and Greta Garbo. Merrill turned out an expert at saying “Ya-as.” Love certainly must be grand. If it isn't I’d like to know what makes Royden have such a contented look on his face when he is with Reva. DECEMBER December 5—Assembly this morning was given by the Sophomores and they made a fruitless effort to outdo us Freshies. The team was more suc- cessful, however, and walked over Salina in the opening pre-season games. December 10—The Main String of the M. H. S. Templars was chosen. Everyone was satisfied but Glade who had been hoping to get the position of center. Even Raymond made the grade with all rights and privileges of a normal basketball man. They again were victorious over the Monroe quintet. December 19—Hurrah! We’ve had some excitement today. Just when assembly was in full swing and the Seniors were trying to outdo the Junior Boys Club which had performed the week before, the siren shrieked forth a lengthy blast and all students rushed to the scene of action, with the Freshies bringing up the rear. I want to thank Faye for the amusement, it was really quite a good fire. December 22—Due to delaying the writing of my letter to Santa Claus. 1 had to stay home this afternoon but understand that the Play Cast gave Ephraim a real treat by presenting their play “Johny-Fix-It.” December 23—With more curiosity over what Santa would bring, than I had the first time I went to a circus, I left school for the holidays. I do hope I’ll at least get a new seat for my tri-cycle. The Alumni exhibited their talents in the final program of 1930. I guess we have about the smartest team in the state, they beat L. D. S. tonight. After this, I had to be dignified. I had a ripping good time at the Senior Ball. Will say “Good By’’ until after Christmas. JANUARY January 5 Well, it’s all over and I’m back in school again. It’s great to see all of the new things around town. Lila is sporting a new red shawl, and Elliot Braithwaite has some new strings for his guitar. The presents Miss Seegmiller and Miss Thompson received weren’t very large but plenty precious. January 9—Yes, we’re plenty embarassed. The first league game of the season was a victory for North Sanpete. Just in passing I might say that Pearl and Eldon are making a wonderful success of their experiment. In fact they almost have the problem solved. January 16—The week has passed without adding much to the history of the U. S. The Assembly in charge of the Senior Boys was O. K. but then just as though life wasn’t already miserable enough the game with Wasatch ended with them five points in the lead. Pago 43 January 23—Rather tired of snow shoes and ear flaps, the only pleasure I have now is singing “Barefoot Days,” and “In the Good Old Summertime.” Our misery turned to a living death with the Carrot Eaters, our life-long rivals added to our defeats. This was the most unkind cut of all. FEBRUARY February 3—After seeing Reno, the Magician, I'm wondering if there is anything that is really dependable. He certainly knew when and how to do unexpected things. He is as outstanding as the Freshie Yell Squad in a Pep Rally. February 4—My report card shows that I’m still in disfavor with the majority of the Faculty. I was cheered up, however, by our victory over North Sanpete. February 6—With a musical program in the forenoon and a victory over Gunnison in the evening the day was quite enjoyable. The game was so close that they had to administer smelling salt to me twice during the second half. February 13—Snow College was favored, I guess, with a program by our High School. I wasn’t disappointed about not getting to go until I heard that lunch was served. Earl, as you know, is rather modest hut he managed eating his share anyway. Everyone was full and happy until Ephraim re- peated their first offense by winning the game. I was cheered up somewhat hy the Freshie Hop even though they generally are rather premature. February 20—A program with the Senior Girls in charge was held this morning. Gunnison came unexpectedly and added to the fun with a song and dance. Tonight our basketball team went to the land of Sugar Beets and scored a victory of 32-15. February 23—After the preliminary contest on Friday, four of our stu- dents, who are expecting to get into Congress vied for honors in the Annual Oratorical Contest. Ramona Mellor not only received first place but along with it a $20 gold piece. February 27—With all the vim and vigor of young collegians the B. Y. U. Sanpete Club entertained us this afternoon. Any of the girls can tell you how handsome the violinist is. MARCH March 2—“If Winter comes can Spring be far behind?” With the excep- tion of a few dissipating Seniors snoring in classes there has been nothing disturbing happen. Rene had the nerve to ask Mr. Bunnell why they couldn’t hold Chemistry down in the Cemetery Lane. March 6—According to rumors which have been going around there is going to be an opera. I wonder if it's really so. Tonight we played our last game of the season. All of those who weren’t at the Junior Prom at Ephraim were at home waiting for some enthusiasm. March 13—Again it’s the end of the quarter, and with final papers and dreary March weather, opera rehearsal, etc., life isn’t so gay as it might be. March 20-21—The presentation of “Robin Hood” by the Civic Opera Co. would have made the Metropolitan Company blush with shame. I didn’t have a leading role, I just had to carry water to the Milkmaids so they would wash the churn. The opera was an outstanding success. March 27—The Junior Prom went over with a bang. I felt a little fishv at thy. beginning but felt better as the evening went by. I’ll always remember the black and blue spots if nothing else. It was quite a thrill and I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m there next year. April 1—We freshies tried to fool everybody and acted as foolish as pos- sible, but the Seniors said they couldn’t tell any difference. I’m rather tired from trying to think of something original. April 10—After weeks of strenuous training the male population per- formed in a track meet. It wasn’t a bit bad. All we need is a little speed. In hopes of a successful girls day, the boys tried to do their best and thus get a break from some winsome lass. Mable Braithwaite says she can’t ima- gine whom she can ask. April 17—In view of the fact that it will soon be graduation, the seniors have decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to finish their first quarter’s work. As a result they are going around with that scholarly look. Don’t be alarmed, it won’t last long. April 30—Wake me early, mother, for I’m to be Queen of the May.

Nothing has been left undone that our modest know- ledge and capacity could conceive and execute toward the attainment of this end. This high aim has been inspired by the very principles to which our school owes its existence. To them and our every school organization from the Faculty down, we feel sincerely grateful. Nor do we forget demonstrations of loyalty by the business institutions and Alumni, our parents and the citizens in general. For these many contributions of time, talent, and means we wish to express this message of deep appreciation. —THE STAFF. ♦ The Manti City Savings Bank PIONEER BANK OF SANPETE COUNTY 4% - - On Savings - - 4% CAPITAL STOCK.....................$50,000 SURPLUS -.........................$75,000 J!

Here they are. on must think of the first one as represent- ing life, of the second one as representing liberty, and the third one as the pursuit of happiness. Next Monday I will ask you to produce the three buttons, and tell me wnat they represent.” The following Monday he said to Eldon S.: “Now, Eldon, produce your three but- tons, and tell what they stand for.” “I haven’t them all,” he said holding out two of the buttons, “here’s life, and here’s liberty, but mama sewed the pursuit of hap- piness on my pants.” Pag© ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦• Manti Theatre The Home of Good Talkies and First Run Pictures If Our Pictures Do Not Please You Tell Us If They Do Tell Your Friends The Best Pictures Made Are Not Too Good For Us We Run Them All” ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ t ♦ TENNANTS CONFECTIONERY Alex Tennant, Prop.
