Manti High School - Clarion Yearbook (Manti, UT)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1964 volume:

In tftbUATim ... We, the Clarion staff, dedicate this, the yearbook for 1964, to Mr. Ellis E. Johnson, for his distinguished service to our school and our community. - YEARBOOK STAFF Manti High School has this year, lost a long-time friend, patron, and enthusiastic supporter—one who helped establish the spirit of MHS, to shape the traditions and policies of this school. The passing of Mr. Ellis E. Johnson leaves an undeniable void in the place where he served as teacher and administrator for more than a quarter of a century. Service was the tenor of his life—service to the school, community, and his church. He was champion of the fine arts, upgrading the cultural level of those around him. To review and identify the offices he held through the years, and the responsibilities he assumed, is a revelation—a revelation of selfless service. Whether we are aware of it or not, Mr. Johnson has influenced directly or indirectly, the lives of us all. We acknowledge the passing of him whose life was one of dedication to his fellow men. Mrs. Mary Peacock Principal Mrs This is Procrastinator's Week, it having been postponed from last week, and like all diligent professors of the art of procrastination, I have awakened to the startling fact that I am a year older. Confession of my gradual demise is the only wisdom I can claim certainly. But I do have a little knowledge, to wit: you students are a year older, too, and for all of you the year just succumbed is a year you cannot recall. For better or for worse you are done with it. It is a thing identified with memories, and ten years from now when you attend the alumni banquet you will say, That was the year I made count, or Shush, what a year! At that time you may or may not be afflicted with nostalgia, and it may be bitter or sweet, but one thing is always sure—1964 was the introduction to 1965, and for the young there is always hope, hope for better things. May you all be smiled upon, and let me add my own sincere wish for you that God may bless you. Mr. Albert C. Antrei Principal ACA yv Superintendent Dr. Maurice C. Barnett Principal Mr. Albert C.

Ruth Sc Librarian fiuAK nr £(JUCATinK The School Board is an elected five-man-board that works very closely with the Superintendent of the district; it has been elected primarily as a board of school control, to determine policies, select experts, approve new under- takings, and determine expenditures. In fact the members transform it into a board of supervision for the detailed oversight of the entire work of the schools. The public schools belong to all the people, are supported by the people, and are designed to carry out the wishes of the people for the education of children, youths, and adults. It is the duty of the local board to make certain that the people have all the facts, at any time, concerning their schools. Specifically, the Board of Education has many direct responsibilities toward the school district it represents; the board has the legal responsibility for the conduct of the schools, the civic responsibility as the controlling body for a basically essential service to the life of the community, the social responsibility toward all the people who look to the school as the center of growth and development for young and old alike, the economic responsibility since positive proof exists that there is a direct relationship between good schools and busi- ness prosperity, and the board has a moral and ethical responsibility to dis- charge its functions courageously and impartially in the interest of the greatest good to the greatest number at all times. It is an absolute certainty that public schools will keep America strong and free if America's public will keep the schools free and strong and if they can mutually agree upon a statement of common beliefs and policies with regards to public education.

Among .them were a fun- filled hayride, elegant gold and white Student Council pins, and a Templar Handbook which was edited by Lynda Johnson, Studentbody Vice President. The four officers together also helped plan and bring about the Regional Dance held at North Sanpete on April 3.

The crystal- line chandelier accented with blue bulbs formed the center of attraction. Daryl Sondrup and Lynda Johnson were chosen King and Queen with Regina McQuarrie, Lewis Bagnell, Vaun Jean Wilson and Greg May- lett as attendants. Following their big event, Seniors embarked to the Cow Palace for a fun-filled night of bowl- ing. —21— PRICE. Boarding the bus at 5:30 A.M., MHS Seniors began their all-day trip to Carbon County. Among the many interesting sites to be seen. Seniors visited the Carbon Coal Mine, where they learned about the processes of extracting and refining coal, the power plant, a dry ice plant, a prehistoric museum, and Carbon College. After a day filled with excitement, tired and bedraggled Seniors headed homeward. All felt that the trip had been interesting and informa- tive. tAktm Tap Clah An A Corner of Life, theme of the Senior as- sembly directed by Norma Keeler, depicted the walks of life from the sophisticates to the low- brows of New York City. Musical numbers were ingeniously worked into the everyday routines of life, from the com- muting on buses to the crowds milling about in the downtown department stores. From a lamp post to an overhanging de- partment store sign, the assembly proved to be interesting, entertaining and fun for all. Ken Wanlass President Karl Christensen Vice President Lorraine Peterson Secretary JoAnn Braithwaite Representative The biggest thing to hit 'Ole MHS' is the way to describe the Junior Class. Eight-two enthusiastic students have added much pep and variety to. the school. Prom night, that night of all nights, brought special memories for the class of '65. Al Di La, theme song, set the mood for a romantic Rome Adventure. vluMHIR IlFFI££ft£ Sparkling gold, brilliant white, and royal purple decorated the biggest dance of the year; marble pillars, statues, and a beautiful fountain ac- cented the Roman holiday. Capping the year for all Juniors was most certainly the arrival of their class rings. Each will be identified far into the future by the Thunder- bird ring they sport on their finger. —24— LaVar Allen David Anderson Tony Anderson David Bradley Nanette Anderson Gary Anderson Russel Braithwaite —25— Brent Cox Myra Cox Bob Clark Garry Cox Celeste Denton Owen Braithwaite Peggy DeMill Sharron Hansen Don L.

All the planning, decorating and preparations have had their reward. How could anyone possibly forget the elegant gold and white colors that made all seem like royalty. The climax of the evening came when each handsome Junior boy escorted his class partner from a gold and white platform where they were introduced and then danced the promenade to the theme sonq Al Di La. For each member of my class, this night will hold many happy memories. —35— ftfcttFTIlIH Starting at 7:00 P.M., the Juniors and their partners were invited to the Manti Center Ward for a reception preceeding the Prom. This year for the first time, parents of all Juniors were invited to the elegant affair and the Prom Mistress' and Masters' parents as well as the at- tendants' parents stood in the receiving line. Everyone was filled with a mysterious excitement as they entered the recreation hall and exchanged glances and ooes and awes with their classmates. Centered in the room several tables were set up with white cloths and gold Roman lyres to emphasize the colors of the Prom. —36— nPHnMBRc npFitm David Anderson President The past year has been enormous- ly filled with excitement and fun for the entire sophomore class.

Their letter burning the long- est, and brightest and clearest. Into the cold, young day rode MHS horseback riders.

S. the assembly proved to be a success. Alumni AiStMfcLY Santa accented the Christmas assembly which was narrated by Lynda Johnson. Working around a clever version of The Night Before Christmas, the mixed chorus, and Santa's an- swer to Templar letters added a gay note of anticipation for the coming holidays. Combined with the Christmas Assembly was the traditional Alumni Assembly conducted by Alphonso Henry, alumni representative. Various numbers included an accordion solo by Gayle Anderson and a medley of Christmas songs on the piano by NaDean Armstrong. —88— £ transit Iwwnitfrmi Aucmly Commemorating the birthday of George Washington, the Manti High School Student Council, under the direc- tion of Norma Keeler, presented an assembly depicting scenes from the life of our first president.

At the pep assemblies, these girls had an original skit to perform to il- lustrate to the student body what MHS was up against that night. Serving the school in this position were Sharon Shuffler, Peggy DeMill, Regina McQuarrie, Norma Keeler and Carol Nelson. • • • In tfttNffit Our school librarian, Mrs. Ruth Scow, is perhaps one of the most artistic people in the school. Her bulletin displays are unusually interesting and attractive and always center around the most current events. Mrs. Scow is always anxious to cooper- ate with teachers in ordering needed books for the various departments. Always ready to give a helping hand, she has become a congenial, smiling friend to many MHS'ers. fenmt kfcHi An artist in many ways leaves room 205 and the halls of MHS with the closing of this year.
