Pederson JUNIOR SENIOR ADVISOR ... t6e Printed by PRESS PUBLISHING CO. Spanish Fork, Utah OUR PRINCIPAL SPEAKS Self Realization — understand your limita- tions and your possibilities, develop your poten- tialities; experience the growth of which your nature is capable; aspire to the ideal of the ancient Greeks, Know Thyself — perhaps these are some of the ideas inherent in the noble motto which is ours at AAHS. The bronze words on the oak board — we have glanced at them often enough as we have passed in the hall — and perhaps those glances have sometimes carried away no thought, and perhaps sometimes they have caused each of us to reflect deeply. Certainly they have in some way, great or small, touched the lives of each of us and so they can remain for us a glowing symbol of our years at Manti High School — years of Self-Realization. Bruce Jennings THE VOICE OF OUR SUPERINTENDENT The true measure of one's success in life should not be what he does as much as what he should have done considering his talents and abilities. Only when one develops his talents and abilities to the optimum for the betterment of society can he be really successful. Superintendent Maurice -2- icers Ronald Thompson President LaRee Anderson Vice-President Audrey Hansen Secretary Tom Anderson Activity Manager THE CALL OF OUR SCHOOL The call of our High School is ever so grand; Faithful and loyal to it always we'll stand. Self Realization, our motto 'tis true. Our dear AAanti High School we'll all stand by you. It's a dynamic ecstatic life! The frenzied excite- ment of the basketball game, the flurry and ten- sion that accompanies the opening night of the play, the appreciation of being elected an officer of an or- ganization, the joviality of the class party, the proud feeling of success when receiving a block M is real- izing our aims as payment for our time and work put forth in preparation for them. However all sunshine makes a desert and in each life some rain must fall. Losing a basketball game is but a slight show- er of rain. We must pre- pare ourselves for the greater trials of life. Always remembering be- hind the clouds the sun is still shining. DeLora Marble Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. Albert Antrei No one will doubt that the lawgiver should pay chief attention to the ed- ucation of the young; for the neglect of educa- tion ruins the constitu- tion of the country. O'icull Joseph L Young It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness. Demont Howell Something there is that doesn't love a wall . . . Mori in Cox So long as one does not despair, so long as one doesn't look upon life bitterly, things work out fairly well in the end. George V. Pederson Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. Wilbur Braithwaite No one is ever beaten unless he gives up the fight. Bruce Jennings A wise man will make more opportunities than he sees. —6— acu Eunice Alder Doing well depends upon doing completely. Dean Steinekert Nothing is of any val- ue excepting that which you create for yourself —no joy is joy save as it is the joy of self- expression. William Casper I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yes- terday. Glen Goodwin Remember that when you're in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you can't afford to lose it. Grant Bond It's the knowing man who knows enough to know there's a lot he doesn't know. Ruth D. Scow I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. Jesse Bartholomew The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for opportunity when it comes. Keith Stevenson Difficulties are things that show what men -7- Board of Education — left to right: Superintendent Maurice C. Barnett, Udell Christiansen, Royal Whitlock, Margaret Anderson, W.

ScAoot Seyi«t4- September 17, found the girls donning their levis and old shoes and piling into jeeps with the boys. We're from Manti High and no one could be prouder echoed through the can- yon as they found their way up to Brox's. However, M. H. S. divided into four parts that night, and each was pulling for his own class as the letters burst into flame. The Freshman class came through with top honors for their letter, and the Juniors took first with their program. At the crack of dawn on October 2, the age old custom of a horseback ride again transpired. In the midst of the colorful array of autumn leaves a memorable ex- perience was enjoyed by both students and teachers. They came by truck, jeep, jalopy, and horseback to the site of Milkcreek camp grounds where hamburgers and punch were served and games were played. -10- As the new school year began, classmates prepared to take another step toward Self Realization. Beneath gay hello's of renewing old acquaintances, deep consideration was taking place as to what classes would help them in life, on this day of registration. To officially proclaim the member- ship of the Freshmen into the high school, gleeful suffering of ini- tiations was imposed on the green- ies by their masters the Sopho- mores. To the glow of candlelight, the atmosphere of Hernando's Hide-a- way was portrayed by the Freshie Hop. Peals of laughter rang out from the auditorium as Miss Marble and Mr. Antrei sang and did a hilarious pantomime to Make Love to Me in the Faculty Assembly. Mr. Steinkert de- lighted the group as he played on the piano, novel versions of Jingle Bells. Mantinee dances were enjoyed at various times during the school year. -11- Christmas festivities started off at AAHS by the student body officers placing a beautiful Christ- mas tree in the hall. The Christmas spirit was carried on by the AAanti High School chorus presenting its concert at the Center Ward Dec- ember 19th. The day school let out for the holidays who should appear in our assembly but jolly old Saint Nick himself with presents in his bag, rumpled hair for the boys, and kisses for the girls.

On December 23 the Seniors presented their annual Senior Ball under the theme of the Black Widow Ball. The gym was decorated with spider webs and with a large black widow spider claiming the north west corner. Officers, from left to right: Sandra Larsen, Reporter; Carolyn Reid, Vice President; Elsie Tuttle, Secretary; Sharon Dennison, President; Marianna Willden and Mari- lyn Anderson, March Leaders. New members were sworn into the Pep Club at a candlelighting ceremony which was followed by a banquet where pep club members, lady faculty members, and the wives of the faculty attended. The preferred men, Douglas Bjerregaard, John Allen Stevens, and Glen Brown, were chosen by the Pep Club and honored at the Pep Club Formal. The theme was In An Old Fashioned Garden , complete with a flowered lattice and wishing well. In bright red princess style dresses with full boxpleated skirts highlighted with white ribbons and gloves, the Pep Club proudly represented our school by marching at the halves of our basketball games. They seemed to shake the rafters of the gym with their T-E-M-P-L-A-R-S, TEMP--LARS. All the news that's fit to print won't be found in these pages, but some of it will — and occasionally a little that doesn't fit the above catagory at all. The news, however, com- plete or incomplete, fit or unfit, represents hours of out- side work for staff members whose only reward is the jeers for work that fails to please and the satisfaction of a job well done.

After changing into our best clothes the crowd went to the high school gym to participate in the Sweet- heart Ball. Lead by an active President, the F.H.A. has sponsored and participated in many inter- esting and beneficial things: including their Daddy Date Night, co-sponsors of the Sweetheart Ball, and the members were briefed on dating. Our chapter was fortun- ate enough to have JoAnn Hill, our Presi- dent, elected as the state F.H.A. Vice-Pres- ident. In the latter part of the evening Vera Larsen was crowned the F.F.A. Sweetheart with Norma Johnson and Shannon Whitlock as her attend ants. The Beau chosen by the F.H.A. was Jerry Brown. His attendants were David K. and Clair C. Officers: Pres.

This spirited team made a good showing in all of the games that they participat- ed in. They came out close to the top with second place in this region. The spirited Sophomore basketball team includes Roger Jorgensen, Kay Mclff, Douglas Cox, Wayne Wintch, Kent Stott, Carl Boyington, Bill Blackham, David Keller, Robert Larsen, Lynn Hurst, Larry Morley, Paul Steck, Douglas Keeler, Sam- my Christiansen, Kim Madsen, Charles Thompson, David Munk, and is coached by our competent coach, Glen Goodwin. Leading the Studentbody in cheers for the Sophomore team were three viva- cious, energetic lassies — Shannon Whit- lock, Janice Ottosen, and Bernell Ander- son. Coach Goodwin contributed much to the team, but his generosity didn't stop there; he also contributed a cheer- leader, his daughter, Kay Goodwin. This added much variety and interest to this cheering squad. The talent of M. H. S. was shown in the four class assemblies during the school year. Creative talent in art, speech, song, and dance was demonstrated behind the scenes as well as that presented to the student body. Outstanding in the Senior Assembly was the scenery which showed their theme Ultra Red a story composed chiefly of dancing and took place in Hell. Ye Ole Toy Shoppe, the theme of the Sophomore Assembly, was a light entertainment, a portrayal of dolls coming to life at the stroke of midnight and their flippant gaiety as they performed in song and dance. Loyalty to our school and its motto Self Realization, was shown in the Freshman Assembly. Their poetry in speech was exceptional. Subway Personalities, a hilarious comedy was presented to the student- body by the Juniors April 11. UteCody we The strains of Melody of Love floated through the air as the Junior Prom of '55 got underway April 1st. The ap- pearance of the hall clearly portrayed the dance was to be a great success, thanks to Jake Keller, prom chairman; Vera Larsen, decorating chair- man; Merlene Steck, advertis- ing chairman; Kent Olsen, Merilyn Anderson, finance chairmen; and Kathryn Smith, program chairman.

N. Some of the travelers of the Traveling Assembly. Complete with noisemakers, serp- intines, horns, and loads of con- fetti the yearbook sponsored the Confetti Carnival which was at- tended by many with high spirits after the 1-point victory over Rich- field which enabled us to go to State. Participants of the Business Meet Waltz Time, a light operetta, played March 11 and 12, with Dean Steinekert directing. Dean Steinekert presented members of the band in an excellent Band Concert Feb- ruary 23. Talent Entertainment and Lighter Moments An assembly dedicated to the unknown talent of M.H.S. revealed many good numbers, these two being among them. Roberta Larsen attended school in California until Christmas but returned to Manti High to finish her education. ■rjA x. - '-r'-’ r vi The authors of Templar Topics, Marilyn Magleby and Robert Larsen, deserve a vote of thanks. The Whistler Faculty members attended and danced along with studentbody members at Matinee dances. Anxiety, boredom, consternation, and indiffer- ence were among the many expressions to be found on the faces of the members of the Pep Club. Just who was causing the excitement. Shannon or Wes? The Sophomore's annual dance with the theme of Skokian was a great success. MIRACLE OF ST. ANTHONY St. Anthony Gustavus Achillia Nurse Pastor _____ Joseph „.... Corpse Virginia ........

II seems as though all through life we have wanted to grow up, waiting until-----. But why should we wait? Today is the day to make ourselves better, to make our dreams become a reality, make ourselves today what we want to be tomorrow, for today is the only time one has. Through our INVESTIGATION in various classes, in books, and outside of school activities, we have learned that we must search, consider, criticize, discuss, explore, inspect, observe, and study; we have developed better work habits, some initiative, and many desirable attitudes, such as: courtesy, depend- ability, punctuality, preparedness and many others. All of these traits go for developing a better personality. As we near completion of our FRESHMAN year at Manti High School, we realize that our past is history and the future never comes; that if we are going to make the most of this life we must take advantage of every opportunity and do our best to reach our desired goal Self Realization . -35- Ellafay Swallow She likes Sophomore boys I'll say They prefer a redhead any day.

During the past year we have tried to Build for Your Fu- ture a collection of memories that will be invaluable to you in years hence. It's been fun . . . through all the trials and tribulations — such as trying so hard to get away from such trite statements as 'trials and tribulations . . . trying to meet the deadline, attempting to create some inspiration and original, novel ideas for this book . . . but seeing the final products tells us it was worth it. One of the biggest pleasures we received from producing this yearbook was realizing a goal, that of putting out a yearbook which holds within its pages a record of the steps you took in your process of Self Realization. We would like to thank all those who helped us, particularly: All the wonderful members on the yearbook staff who have worked so hard in producing the CLARION. Mr. Adams for his congeniality and distinguished work on individual portraits. Mr. Pederson, our advisor, for his patience, immeasurable support, diligent labor, and brain work on this your yearbook. And especially you for buying and reading this Book. We hope you enjoy it.
