At the beginning of the second century in Manti Valley, we the students of Manti High, stand to give loyal praise to those valiant pioneers who braved the wilder- ness and helped to make it “blossom as a rose.” Just as they, 101 years ago, aspired to the strains of an exalted hymn, “Come, Come Ye Saints”, we must aspire to our great “hymn”, “M.H.S. Forever”. To the searching Senior scholars, standing on the brink of life, we dedicate a portion of the ideals of Manti High in the 1950 Clarion. To the men and women who are spending a goodly portion of their lives guiding us over the chasms of our teens — the teachers — we dedicate a portion of our publication. To the ideals upheld in the beauty of our school song, we whole-heartedly dedicate this, the 1950 Clarion of Manti High School, hoping that always will the students realize the importance of these ideals. Like a mystic fulfillment to the needs of the students in this golden era. its lines reveal to view the settings of the high school as “a beacon star” the activities as “happy days we spent”, and the students as “happy, happy we. as students e'er can be”: but most of all the high school days as something “we never shall forget, nor shall we e'er regret”. The School Song emphasizes endurance of school work as often forgotten, and life's deep purple adding another languished strain to the music of life and the passing refrain of another year. . . .

I invite you to try and enjoy the great festival of life with other men. To appreciate the truth that God has introduced man to be a spectator of himself and of his works as well as an interpreter of them. It would be a shame for man to be- gin and leave off where the brutes do. Rather, he should begin there, and leave off where nature leaves off in us: and that is at contemplation, and understanding, and a manner of life that is in harmony with herself. Sense keenly that all conflicting moral ideals imply a moral end that includes them all and transcends every one of them. And this all-inclusive moral end is the true standard of right and wrong that ever remains the same amid all moral change. The slogan of M. H. S. as one reads it upon entering your temple of learning, declares to all of us that our human nature will not rest in any purpose that is not large enough to give some hope to every one of our hu- man needs. A total self demands nothing less than total Self-Realization. To this end I invite us all to dedicate our lives. LELAND E. ANDERSON Superintendent PRINCIPALS MESSAGE School”. As I go back in my mind over the events of the past nine months, the unpleasant experiences seem very insignificant as compared with the asso- ciations I have enjoyed with students and faculty members. I feel that we have had a good year — with high morale and fine cooperation. As stu- dents and teachers, I think we have had many worthwhile experiences this year in working and playing together — that we have learned valuable les- sons in the art of being fair and understanding and helpful with each other. For the hoys and girls, our men and women of M. II. S., I wish the best that life has to offer.

FOR WE NEVER SHALL FORGET Senior Dignitaries CARL CARPENTER, President NORMA JUNE LARSEN, Vice President WILMA WHITLOCK, Secretary With the closing of this school year the Seniors will bid farewell to Manti High and start out toward new horizons. The paths into the future will lead in different directions for each one and some will not cross again. Everything will be new and strange, very different from the life they have led for the past twelve years. They have grown up with their classmates, doing the same things, enjoying the same kind of fun. Now' the time of decision has arrived—they all must part, following their own road to success—or failure. But no matter where the activities of the world take them, there will always be a place in their hearts cherishing “the happy days wre spent in Manti High School!” George Anderson Today- Janitor Tomorrow George Son Inc.

Vice President MARGIE DENISON, Secretary The J uniors—aspirants to poise at the brink of life—are young in experience, yet old in ideals. Still on the pathway to happiness, each is striving for the pot of gold awaiting those who endure. For at the end of the rainbow, which is high school life, lies fulfillment of promises and perpetual sunshine showing the way for further advancement. After passing the test of being fresh and fanciful greenclads and endur- ing the stage of being unheralded second year flunkies, they advance to the ideals of social whirls, crossing the third span of the bridge of high school life. Still determined to cross the inevitable brink of life, they become the predecessors of the honor of the cap and gown and scroll. Blaine Allred “Brammer” Always good for one more laugh.

SCHOOL MATES, RAISE THE CRY Our Cocky Sophomores DOLORES MARX. President JOAN GRAHAM, Vice President CAROL BROWN, Secretary We now present the Sophomores—the students of our school who have reached the half-way mark in school life. They can look hack with satisfaction at the two years behind them, yet also can look forward with anticipation to more eventful years. Even though school life is not new—there is more to learn. The way won't be easy and there will be new experiences—trials and joyous fun. The Sophomore class will see changes come about not only in their surroundings but in themselves, for they will be growing in ideals. But if the training they have been given during the past two years is used to an advantage, the next two will pass quickly, filled with prosperity and joy. School spirit will be needed to do this, and if all classmates raise the cry of school ideals, success is inevitable. mm Ardith Alder “Ardy” “Any big male babies needing a baby siller?” Joyce Anderson “Little Pew” She’s good in all things—mainly disposition.

SHALL PIERCE THE BLUE ON HIGH The Green Worms RICHARD ANDERSON, President CAROLYN HOFER, Vice President PAULINE SHOMAKER, Secretary Still green—the Freshies come on unafraid. Even after the first few weeks at the High, the newness is not as yet worn. Still in the springtime of life, the Frosh show us the typical personalities and talents of all high school students. Although they'll have their trying moments and their disappointing trials, although they shall taste deeply of the bitter and experience little of the sweet, they’ll look back longingly upon the four treasured years and appreciate every memory it brings.

IN FOND MEMORY CARMA ANN MELLOR 1934 ■ 1948 Peace be unto thy soul: thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high: thou shalt triumph over all thy foes; Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again, with warm hearts and friendly hands . . . (Doctrine and Covenants 121:7-9) . . .

RIDE On the 31st of September the horseback ride took place up Manti Canyon, with most of the students participating.
