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
