History of Snow Academy The system of schools of the Latter-day Saints was established for a dual purpose, first, to give higher secular education and second, to provide a place where the young men and women might receive a training in the service of theology. The Sanpete Stake Academy (now Snow Academy), was founded November 5, 1888, by the Stake Presidency under the direction of the General Authorities of the Church. Time ias proved the wisdom of the establishment of this educational institution in Ephraim, the nearly geographical center of Utah. The natural school district is a large one, including Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne Counties, and a part of Piute. The school was known as the Sanpete Stake Academy up to nineteen hundred and two, when by proper authority the name was changed to “Snow Academy,” in honor of President Lorenzo Snow and Apostle Erastus Snow. This name is more appropriate than the former for the reason that students from various counties and states attend the institution. Year hy year the school has been added to in the way of better buildings and apparatus, more experienced teachers, and additional and improved courses of studies. Its growth has been slow but continuous. The Sn+w Academy has proved its worth by surmounting the struggles through which it has had to pass. The financial outlook is encouraging at present and the school enjoys the confidence of the leading educators and higher educational institutions of the state because of its meritorious work. COURSES.—In 1888, the courses of instruction given were—a Preparatory course, an Intermediate course, and one year Normal course. The courses offered during the year 1913-14 were: 1. Normal, five years. 2. Normal, four years. 3. Commercial, four years. 4. Shorthand and Bookkeeping, two years. 5. Agricultural, three years. 6. JDoraestic Science, three years. 7. Domestc Art. three years. . . 8. Carpentry, three years. 9. Blacksmithing, three years. 10. Special Courses in Music. 11. Preparatory, two years. BUILDINGS. The first home of the school was in the Social Hall, consisting of one large room and a small one. Its second was in the North Ward School House in which there were three large commodious class rooms and an office. Its third and present home, is in a beautiful sixty thousand dollar building which is located in the heart of the city in the center of a five acre plat. The equipment of the building is in every way modern, up-to-date . In addition to the main building in which the regular class work is done the school is provided with a splendid gymnasium, similar to the Deseret Gymnasium in Salt Lake City, only smaller. PRESIDENTS. The Academy has been blessed with three great men to direct it as its Presidents, they are—President Canute Peterson, President Henry Beal and President Antbon H. Lund. The first two are deceased and the institution is now under the guidance of President Lund. PRINCIPALS. Alma Greenwood was the first Principal of the school. He was succeeded by George Christensen who was followed by Newton E. Noyes. SCHOOL'S STANDING. The Snow Academy at Present is considered to be one of the strong educational institutions of the state. T.he Academy is best known through its Pedagogical work. Hundreds of young men and women have graduated from the Normal Course and have entered the teaching profession in many of the counties of Utah and in adjoining states. A fifth year Normal Course, or the first year of College w rk, is now given and it is expected that the sixth year or second year of College work will soon be given. The College work that is given in the Academy is recognized for full value by the Universities and Colleges of the State and by the State Board of Education. The Faculty NEWTON E. NOYES, A. B.

Student Body History of the Seniors Once upon a time, about the middle of September, 1910, from the north, south, east and west, there gathered together at the Snow Academy, a group of girls and boys. How timid, shrinking, and fearful we all felt as yearlings. But inexperience made us bold and when, for the first time, the big front door of the institution was opened, our nerves were not shocked. But once inside, the sights of the halls, doors, and stairways, actually bewildered us and disturbed our mental equilibrium. Visions of success came to our memories; ambition burned in our veins; determination gleamed in our eyes and, stimulated thereby, we pushed onward, paying no attention to the sneers and jeers of the older students as they passed us in the hall-way. Several days later an announcement was made from the rostrum by Prof. Noyes, on this order, “Today at 3:30 o’clock, in room 14, the First Years will hold their first meeting for the purpose of organization.” From then on new forces began to operate and within the next week these activities were crystalized into a complete class organization with Miss Lillian Dahlsrud as first class president. Class meetings of this ambitious group were held very successfully twice a month, and each meeting was an actual Educational Festival. , , Founders’ day came and the dear little “Freshies” played a very important role in the activities of the day. On we sped, successfully coping with every ''problem that came before us; and when the spring track meet came we were again the leaders of the day. Early in September, 1911, we reorganized and continued on our journey with Earl Pickett as our pilot. This founders’ day we again showed our superiority in carrying off some of the highest honors of the day in the line of athletics. This was also the year in which the “Soph’s led in the social achievement of the institution by putting through, with glorious success, the most elaborate class party, “KLONDIKE,” ever given in the history of the S. A. In September, 1913, the third reorganization took place and the successful bunch of Juniors continued climbing with Claude Robins as helmsman. We still continued to rapidly claim all of the big honors of the school. When the ballots were cast for the fourth and last time the Kingly crown was awarded to and accepted by Emilius Christensen, ex-student-body president. Having .now taken the honors in all of the minor activities of school life, we turned as a class, during our last year, to the intellectual field. Here, too, our success was phenomenal. Teachers, students, and citizens all admired our wide awake spirit and unlimited success. Never in the history of the 14’s have we failed to “aim high, work hard, and be noble.” But we have, grown from a bashful, awkward bunch of youngsters to our present, more desirable position, although we have undergone many changes nd hardships. However, we consider our experiences enjoyable and profitable. As Seniors we must now say good-bye. We recall the many experiences of our school career with the fondest recollections and feign would live over again those joyous times, the happiest days of our lives.

Farewell of the Seniors i Another year of our school life is finished and many of us have come for the last time. But whether we go or stay we shall all find abundant cause to remember our school with gratitude and affection. There are those of the Academy who hold especial claims upon our gratitude. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees: We thank you for your care and for the interest you have taken in the welfare of those who come here each year and, as we bid you adieu, believe that we will ever cherish in our hearts the thought that, to a great extent, it is to you we owe the privileges we have enjoyed. May you ever be able to look with feelings of heartfelt satisfaction upon all your efforts for the advancement of those who are enrolled upon the register of your staunch and noble institution. Members of the Facility: To you has been given the task of impressing directly upon our minds those truths that hall develope the truest manhood of each student. How well you have discharged this responsibility, the present but faintly shows; the future alone can tell how well, how faithfully, you have labored in our behalf. We thank you for the sacrifices you have made for us; for the life-labor you have embodied in your teaching. We cannot repay you; and promises are empty forms. But we trust, we know, that our lives will be greater influences for good because of our sitting at your feet. Members of the Undergraduate Classes: We leave you and we leave the old school in your care. You are to walk these halls and paths when we have wandered away. You will still make these groves and buildings ring with cheers in which our voices have so often joined. The duties which were once ours have largely become yours. The machinery of school life is to be manipulated by you now. May you take it as a solemn trust! And as you do the work that we have failed to do, may it help you to know that you have with you in it the heartiest sympathy of those who now bid you farewell. May prosperity and happiness attend the dear old Snow Academy, its teachers and students, in the future is the earnest desire of the Senior Class of 1913-14. Ticklers A little girl was shown her newly-arrived baby brother. Looking at him lovingly she said: “When will he talk, mother?” 'Oh not for a long time yet,” said the mother. “Yes, but when?” persisted the child. “Well not for a year or so.” After thinking for a minute the child exclaimed, “How funny. Miss Clark read out of the Bible this morning that Job cursed the hour he was born.” The inventor of a new feeding bottle for infants sent out the following among his directions for using: “When the baby is done drinking it must be unscrewed and laid in a cool place under the hydrant. If the baby does not thrive on fresh milk, it should be boiled.” “Did God make the monkey?” asked little Frank. “Yes,” answered his mother. “Well, don’t you think he laughed when he got him done?” “Please, mum,”—began the aged hero, in appealing tones, as he stood at the door on wash-day, “I’ve lost my leg—■” “Well, I ain’t got it,” snapped the woman, slamming the door. It was a busy day In the butcher-shoP. The butcher yelled to the boy who helped him out In the shop: “Hurry up, John, and don’t forget to cut off Mrs. Murphy’s leg, and break Mrs. Jones’ bones, and don’t forget to slice Mrs. Johnson’s tongue.” “Mary had a Thomas cat; It warbled like Caruso. A neighbor swung a baseball bat— Now Thomas doesn't do so.” “What a marvelous insect a grasshopper is! He can jump one hundred times his length.” “That's nothing—I once saw a bee raise a two-hundred-pound man three feet In the air!” Mistress—“Did the fisherman w'ho stopped here this morning have frog’s legs?” Nora—“Sure, mum, I dlnnaw. He wore pants.” “Nowr, children,” said the teacher, “1 w'ant each of you to think of some animal or bird and try for the moment to be like the particular one you are thinking about, and make the same kind of noises they are in the habit of making. Instantly the schoolroom became a menagerie. Lions roaring, dogs barking, birds singing and twittering, cow-s lowing, calves bleating, cats meowing, etc., all In an uproar and excitement—all with one exception. Off m a remote corner a little fellow w-as sitting perfectly still, apparently Indifferent and unmindful of the rest The teacher observing him, approached and said: “Waldo, why are you not taking part with the other children?” Waving her off with a deprecating hand and rebuking eyes he whispered: “Sh-sh-sh, teacher. I’m a rooster, and I’m a-layin’ a aig.” Purple and White Heroin is a record—minute ir. form, Of a class that in nineteen eleven was born; And taking the class all in all you’ll agree Tis the classiest class that e er could be. For each has endeavored in years gone past To create a love that’ll forever last. Ye were all bonnie children without nurse or guide.. But Emelins made progress which others have vied. For being a shepherd to an untrained flock, He led us to pastures green o’er barren rock. Twas this year we gave a party most grand, Tho not in splendor it’s memoirs will stand. We showed good sense o’er which they still rave. And a great list of books to the library gave. For the second time, to the surprise of all. We carried the championship for Basket Ball; In oratory both the divisions we won; We came here for study as well as for fun. On April the twelfth our banner unfurled And ‘‘Stanley” our annual day raised to the world. The year ended happily with much joy and pride And brot us much nearer the faculty’s side. ’13 called roll to our illustrious class And each acquiesced he had outlived the past. In musical talent we now reign supreme As stars, our band, orchestra, and soloists beam. We’ve entered into contests of every kind And won them by working soul, body, and mind. To our Junior class we now bid adieu And wish to thank all, especially Ladru. Our past is the past—our future we’ll brighten: Our Senior year enter, our talents to heighten. We’ll strive to excel with honest endeavor. The work of all those who are now so clever, E’en the heavenly bodies will look down and sigh And regret we are not with them up in the sky.

We have bravely and honorably struggled through the trials and jeers of our Freshman year. Now we have shaken off all signs of our former “greenness” and put aside, for good, all our childish follies and have entered upon a stage of activity and of recognition. No longer must we loudly proclaim our presence to be recognized in school, and the taunting cry of “O You Freshic,” no longer rings in our ears. No more do we experience the feeling of timidity as we did during our career as Freshmen. Nor, yet, do we feel to take upon us the responsibility of the juniors: and as for becoming Seniors—we will let the future take care of itself while we carefully mould our present. We feel that we are a part of the school that it could not do without. We would have you understand that, although we have a strong desire to push farther into the field of knowledge, we are perfectly contented with our lot as Sophomores. It is certain we feel that we have evolved from the position we occupied but a year previously and as students we hope that next year will find us occupying a position still superior to that which we now occupy. When we entered school the desire to do something pulsed through the veins of every Sophomore. But it did not end in a mere desire, for our boys demonstrated their, spell at basketball by defeating the other class teams in the class series and left them far in the distance without the smallest taste of our victory. With the co-operation of the Junior Class in the contest with the Seniors and Freshmen on Founder’s Day, we carried off all the vic-ories. Judging from the past we have reason to expect a most brilliant future. We are the Sophomores, “Nuff said.” Class Officers. Inter-Class Champions. Class Orchestra.

But the school year is now on the home run and the Freshmen are with it. They are now better placed and are coming to the front. “Fresh'’ and confidant, tncy are ready for the long stretch of school life that lies before them. Happiness is the road to success. Freshmen smile at you like the verdure of spring. They are happy because they have no conditions of former years to work off. Unlike the Seniors, they are not studying the stars, or looking for more worlds to conquer. They live in the present and their record speaks for itself. They feel the gap that lies between them and that which is in them to achieve. Achievement is their slogan and they expect to grasp firmly the second link in the chain that leads to the glory of 1917. Class Officers. Roll Call of Freshmen Allen, Irvin Allen, Woodruff Allred.

Theological Department 'Die idea of having theological instruction and religions training in connection with secular education harmonizes fully with the saying so often quoted, and as often believed. ’'That education consists in the threefold development of the individual—physical, intellectual, and religious. With the latter-day Saints the religious education comes first: then the physical and intellectual. It was for the purpose of correctly guiding the spirituality of the youth of Zion that the system of Church Schools was established. Piesident Brigham Young, with a Seer s eye. perceived that in the future education would be devoid of the religious element, and he was moved upon to have organized an educational system that would provide for the development of the religious faculties—the most glorious and saving faculties of man. One of the most critical periods of the individual's life is that of young manhood and young womanhood, as then the ambition is vigorous and the emotions are very active. The wise Aristotle cautioned his people to guard well the emotions of adolescence. This is the formative period of character, and this being true, how important it is that young men and women should have a systematic course in that greatest of sciences—theology. The most important work in life is to understand one’s relation to his Creator, and this relationship can be found out only by studying Ilis word which is recorded in the IWy Scriptures, and in the words of His living Oracles. The beauties of the Gospel are known to only those who study its principles, and live them. Then to get the sons and daughters of Zion to love the word of the Lord is to get them to study it. In the Snow Academy, as in other Church Schools, systematic instructions are given daily in the standard works of the Church—Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Teachings which tend to strengthen the testimony of the young in regard to the divinity of Mormonism are imparted in class work, in the Academy Sunday School, and in various religious meetings. Jt is gratifying to say that the students of the Academy appreciate the study of theology more than any other study, and in it their percentage of efficiency is the highest. English The fact that the study of English is practically the only subject that is compulsory in the high school course is evidence that it is of prime importance. One’s ability is measured largely by the kind of language one uses. Our thoughts are of little worth unless they are expressed, and expressed clearly. In writing, as in every other art. however, the first thing to consider is material. Communication without substance, no matter how graceful or brilliant the technique of the writer, is funds mentally absurd. There can be no real definiteness or sincerity when the writing is empty : the writer must not be content with saying something—he must say something significant. In other words, he must exercise judgment in choosing what he says; he must have the precious faculty of picking out the significant things to say. and then say them in such a way that lie can lie clearly understood. English attempts, therefore, to teach thought and expression. Every great writer has been a keen observer. The proper teaching of English aims to develop the power of observation, as well as to teach the art of expression, and to create the power of thought. English aims, too, to create and encourage the desire to read the best books, to properly interpret them, and to show how literature has developed from its first simple songs to its present complexity in prose and poetry. Its value cannot be esti- The “Snow” Carrie Allen. Like an Alpine mountain capped with purest snow, Stalwart and steady her fame doth row: And. like a snow bank that feeds the stream, She is ever fulfilling our fondest dream. And welcome as draught to the mountain roc Are the fruits of her labors wherever they go. 2. A message of comfort to the weak site sends. And it falls on their ear like the voice of friends. In the halls of the mighty her students proclaim; Add fervor and praise to her ever great name. Thus at home or abroad; amid humble or proud. Her hand is stretched forth and her blessings allowed. 3. Yes. her students go forth like a mountain stream, .And. when in the valley of life they arc seer. Mingling with the throng as it passes along, They make the world brighter with joy and song. Their aim's ever on ; their work’s ever pure. And the spirit of the school through llieir age will endure. 4. Then hail to the Snow and the work that she docs; Then hail to her halls, her bustle, and buzz. For her soul is full earnest; her motives are true: Her face is e re lightened wiht radiant hue. Then look to future and loudly proclaim The blessings and honor that brighten her name. Education The subjects that are considered the most important ones under the heading of Education are those that have a direct bearing on the preparation for the teaching profession. The ones emphasized in the Snow Academy are Educational Psychology, Pedagogy and School Management. Principles of Education, History of Education, and Training. With the development of better systems of education, school courses have become more definite and specific. There was a time when any one who had had a little schooling, no matter in what subjects, could get a teacher’s certificate. But within the last few years knowledge has been more and more carefully classified until at present one, to teach, must have passed in subjects that arc peculiar to the Normal work and that especially prepare the individual for teaching. Each school course prepares the ones taking it for a definite line of work and therefore those completing courses in which the pedagogical subjects are not included cannot be expected to know the principles of tea hing. and cannot hope to be as successful as those who have had the full course of normal training. In the Academy Educational Psychology, Pedagogy and School Management. Principles of Education and Training are considered from the present practical point of view. Science Can it be possible that the wonders of modern science have come to the knowledge of man within the space of one or two centuries? If the next generation is to be as fruitful in the field of scientific discovery, and in the application of this form of energy, as the last, who can predict the result? What hath God wrought?” might be exclaimed today in almost every branch of science; such has been the remarkable progress in this direction. Today every school boy knows more about radium, electricity, appendicitis, and a hundred other things than the most profound men of one hundred years ago. Today every school is equipped with laboratory facilities to demonstrate and verify well established, scientific laws, which were entirely unknown a few years ago. To keep up with this general spirit of scientific inquiry, the Snow Academy has been fitted out for work in the physical and natural sciences. Visit one of our laboratories and observe the students at work—peeping through the microscope, dissecting a rabbit, studying the effects of the electric current, or testing for the presence of some of the common substances. The value of these subjects cannot be over estimated. r I Bro. Wm. G. Mathematics Thanks be to the combined achievements and ingenuity of the wise mathematicians of former days, as it is now possible for any boy or girl in the high school to get a much broader view of the elementary mathematical subjects than many of these men had. Simplicity and thoroughness seem to characterize the arrangement, manner of treatment, and scope of the material of our ordinary text-books. Putting with these things the fact that the subject matter is made as near actual life as possible, there is no reason why every student should not elect at least one subject in mathematics in making up his high school curriculum. Certainly those who are preparing for College need as much of this line of work as they can get in the high school, and those who are preparing for teaching or for practical life will find these subjects very helpful. The Snow Academy is offering the various mathematical subjects given by any of the ordinary secondary schools, and the teachers have had long experience. Don’t overlook, therefore, the value of these subjects in the selection of your course for next year. Chemistry Laboratory The Wise Farmer There was a man in our town, And he was wonderous wise. He knew that if he wanted crops. He’d have to fertilize. It’s nitrogen that makes things green.” Said this man of active brain. •‘And potash makes the good, strong straw. And phosphate plumps the grain. Rut it’s c’early wrong to waste plant food On wet and soggy field; I’ll surely have to put in drains If I’d increase the yield.” “And later I have drained the land I must plow it deep all over; And even then I’ll not succeed Unless it will grow clover.” Now, acid soils will not produce A clover sod that’s prime. So. if I have a s� ur soil. I’ll have to put on lime.” And. after doing all these tilings. To make success more sure, I'll try my very best to keep From wasting the manure. So I’ll drain, and lime, and cultivate. With all that that implies; And when I’ve done that thoroughly. I’ll manure and fertilize.” A STUDENT. Brother H. E. Agriculture Laboratory.

History The object of our courses in history is three-fold; (1) to study the general movements of mankind and their relationship to man’s progress; (2) to illumine the soul with a proper appreciation of the present, and a dignified loyalty to one's country; (3) to cultivate a desire for historical research and historical thought in order to be able to anticipate the lessons of time. 5 ecly says: “We shall all no doubt be wise after the event: we study history that we may be wise before the event.’ History is naturally a pleasing subject, and the students become very much absorbed in it. Those who admire great men and are attracted by the heroic, find an abundance of interesting material in the conspicious characters of the past. Those who are inclined to the plans, campaigns, and the battle find a source of pleasure in the perusal of the memorable wars. Those who delight in the study of cause and effect find plenty of exercise for their logic in the ups-and-downs of the various nations of the Earth. The broadening and liberalizing lessons of the last few centuries, resulting in the political liberty and the religious freedom that we enjoy today, have emphasized more than anything else the real value of the past. All classes of people should read history. Economics and Sociology These subjects are classified as social sciences. They are different, however, in their application. Economics is often defined as that special social science which has to do with the wealth getting and wealth using activities of life. The economic motive is the motive that guides men in their economic life, and for that reason economics is often said to be the most important of the social sciences. The study of economics is largely the study of man's wants, and the starting point of all human activity is the existence of wants. To satisfy hunger and thirst, to secure shelter and provide clothing were the chief aims of the primitive man, and likewise constitute the motor forces of society today. As man develops his wants increase; in fact, a nation's standing is measured largely by its wants and its ability to supply those wants. Satisfying wants brings into play the economic activity of man. The science which deals with these economic activities is called economics. Sociology has been defined as the science of society. To be more concrete, it is the science which deals with human associations—the origin, development, forms and functions. It embraces the study of society in its entire range—the family, clan, tribe, nation and race. Sociology is so closely related to the special social sciences, as history, economics and government, that it is not easily distinguished from them. It has been applied, however, often to the investigation of crime, pauperism, charities and similar subjects, because they have not been adequately treated in the other social sciences. Society is such a tremendously complicated thing that no one can attempt to discover all about it, but the study of sociology gives one an idea at least of the necessity of becoming better acquainted with the problems of society and how to treat them. The purpose of education is to prepare for good citizenship. A knowledge of economics and sociology will tend to that end. In economics one learns something about the needs which impel men to produce useful commodities, how production is carried on, what is meant by exchange, and distribution, as well as the ways and means by which governments secure the money or services upon which they depend for support. In sociology one learns what constitutes society—what its functions and purpose are and the means by which society has grown and developed. Normal Department The primary aim of the Normal Department is to prepare young men and women to enter the teacher’s profession; young men and women imbued with a desire to be of service to mankind. In their preparation for tiiis service, we deem it highly essential to unite theory and practice in their course of instruction. In order to bring this about arrangements have been made with the Principal of the Public School in our city for observation work in the various grades under experienced teachers. This work is supplemented with class exercises taken through by members of the Training Department, closely supervised by the critic teacher. When one familiar with our school takes a retrospective view of the history of this department of our institution of learning, he must admit that it has a remarkable record; one of which it may be justly proud. During its existence of twenty-five years it has turned out a great force of bright, noble, intelligent young men and woman (of high moral character) : many of whom are occupying high stations in the educational field of our fair state and our neighboring states as well. Many have attended Eastern colleges and universities where they have taken out their degrees from those institutions. Others have filled missions abroad in many lands and have returned to occupy positions of responsibility in both church and state. They are represented in the office of stake presidencies; in bishoprics of wards as bishops and bishop’s counselors; as superintendents of Sabbath schools; stake and ward presidents of Mutual Improvement Associations, presidents of quorums of the priesthood, and of Primary Associations; in fact they are known as factors for the betterment of the conditions of mankind in the communities where they reside. The Normal Graduates. High School Department TH MAS A. BEAL, Principal As stated elsewhere the Academy was founded November 5, 18S8, for the purpose of instilling into the hearts of the young men and women a testimony of the gospel, as well as to give them a secular education. To accomplish this purpose various courses have been offered. At first only a preparatory, an intermediate, and one year Normal course were given. In 1894 a three year high school course was added and in 1895 a four year course. Not until 1906. however, was the growth of the school sufficient to justify the classifying of the work, so in that year the Board divided the work of the school into different departments and Mr. Oca) was placed at the head of the high school department. The demand for high school subjects has kept pace with the educational progress. From fewer than a dozen students in 1906, the department has grown to eighty-five, or nearly one-third of the total enrollment ot the entire school, and this year (May 1914) the Academy will likely graduate twenty-one students from the high school department. 'I he high school course is especially offered for those who do not wish to take a Normal course leading to the profession of teaching, but still desire a culture training and anticipate advanced work in various lines and professions. The work is planned, therefore, with two objects in mind: first, to give an excellent preparation for those who do not intend to continue their studies beyond the high school: and second, to prepare those who desire going on with college work. High School Graduates Fifth Year Class The Snow Academy has included in its curriculum another year of work. This amounts to the first year's work in College. The work this year has been along the lines of Educational Psychology. History of Education, Sociology, and Economics. We believe that the course has been very thorough as it has also been very interesting. Much research work has been required of the members of this class. Soane of the most modern Sociologists have been studied with a view to make teachers that would make citizens out of the children they teach. The History of Education work has called for criticisims or. modern, and ancient education with a detailed study of the different educational movements. The other subjects have been dealt with in similar manner and we believe that all those who come here for this course will get value received. :: Fifth Year Graduates. Commercial Department This department has furnished many of the successful business men and women, and stenographers of this state. The instruction gives a broad field for study and 'prepares the student for Commercial and Civil Service work. Realizing that this is a Commercial Age,” and in order to meet the demands of young men and women who follow that pursuit, the Board of Trustees of the Snow Academy in 1898 announced a two years’ Commercial course. In 1899 another year was added. In 1905 a one year course in Shorthand and Typewriting was given in addition to the three years course. In 1907 a four years course and a two years course were announced., which is the present work offered by this school. At present the department is occupying two well equipped rooms, one for bookkeeping and general class work, and one for typewriting. The students are given work in the bank and offices for their bookkeeping practice. The typewriting students are provided with Remington and Monarch visible writing machines and are required to spend their regular periods each day at the machine. Commercial Department. Local Scenes. Locals that are Probably True Bro. Barton in Theology Class—“Stanley, how many commandments are there?” , Stanley—“Ten, sir.” Bro. Barton—“What would be the result if you should break one of them?” Stanley—“Then there would be nine.” Dan—“I will be your valentine, Da Veda.” Da Veda—“I was so in hopes that I wouldn’t get any comics this year.” Geo. Collard, while staying at the hotel in Salt Lake this winter, rather lost his patience because of the incessant necessity for tips. He eventually entered the wash-room only to be faced with a large sign which read: “Please tip the basin after using.” “I’m hanged if I will,” said George, “Til go dirty first.” Orson Bagiev was passing Tye’s residence the other day and seeing a little boy hanging on the gate, asked him why he was idling away the beautiful afternoon. The little boy answered, “I ain’t idling away the afternoon. Clif Barton is inside with Delila and he’s paying me ten cents an hour to watch for Delila’s pa.” Henry to Jesse—“Has Pat come home yet?” Jesse—“I haven’t seen him, but I believe he has, the cat is hiding under the stove.” Earl Barton was sitting on his father’s knee watching his mother arranging her hair. “Papa hasn’t any Marcel waves like that,” said Bro. Barton, laughingly. Earl, looking at his papa’s 'bald head, replied, “Nope, no waves; it’s all beach.” Bro. Beal (in Civics) “What is the Hague Tribunal.. Claude?” Claude—“The Hague Tribunal ar—” Bro. Beal—“Don’t say ‘The Hague Tribunal are,’ Claude; use is.” Claude—“The Hague Tribunal isbitrates national controversies.” Bro. Lund’s small boy. who had been very naughty, was first reprimanded and then told that he must take a whipping. He ran upstairs and hid in the far corner under the bed. Just then Othy came home. His wife told him what had occurred. He went upstairs and proceeded to crawl under the bed toward the youngster, who whispered excitedly, “Hello, Pop, is she after you, too?” After a lesson on digestion Bro. Noyes, anxious to know how much his instructions had been understood, questioned the class. The first answer was made by Leonard Thompson : “Digestion begins in the mouth and ends in the big and little testament.” Just then the gong sounded, much to the relief of Bro. Noyes. Correlated JIrts Within the last decade there has been a great change in the education of the American people. The curriculum of the old classic school is giving way to the new idea of practical education for the young men and women of the modern age-The old world subjects. Latin and Greek and their allies, do not fill satisfactorily that intense longing to be up and doing things, so characteristic of the young American, and some thing new has come to take its place: that creative instinct which is being fostered and developed in the training received in Domestic Art. Domestic Science. Mechanic Arts, and other subjects where arc the principles of life and living. What does Domestic Art mean? It means a girl must have a knowledge of cutting and fitting; a properly trained color sense so that there are no clashes in c«lor schemes and combinations. She must know of the textiles in order to know what materials are best suited to each purpose and how they are manufactured. Does Domestic Science mean merely a knowledge of cooking? No: Our mothers knew how to cook, but their knowledge came through experience. They knew not the whvs and wherefores; that certain conditions exist, but Domestic Science teaches it. A girl well trained in Domestic Science must have a knowledge of Chemistry, food values. House'hold management, economy along all lines, the rules of sanitation, principles of art in home decoration and house planning, the care of children and invalids, home nursing, and a host of other things that prepare her for that noblest of all professions—a successful home keeper. Carpentry is just as important to boys as are Domestic Science and Domestic Art to girls and how great the satisfaction to the boy who sees his own handiwork displayed and knows that he is the proud possessor of some beautiful and useful article of furniture. The Snow Academy ranks well to the front in the list of schools in practical education. It has well equipped laboratories and work-rooms, with competent men and women, skilled in their professions, to direct the large classes of students who come eager for knowledge in these subjects. Those who complete their courses leave the institution better equipped for the business of life and especially for the practical every day living. Dressmaking. Domestic Art. Domestic Science. Carpentry. Domestic Science Graduates. Music Department The Board and 1'acuity members of the Snow Academy are musically alive. Their hearts throb on; their blood runs hot; and their souls drink deep of the inspiration which comes from the Divine Art of the Muses. There is no activ ity which tends to the uplift of music in this “Garden of Human Hearts, but has their earnest support. Not alone do they give their moral influence, but go beyond, in this mortal sphere, and mature with what coin is necessary. No where in this broad land can a more intelligent, enthusiastic, generous, and patriotic hodv of students be found than those connected with the Musical Department in this institution. Of the instructors in Violin, Band. Orchestra, and Piano. Kenneth Roylance and I.a Var Jensen, there is no hesitancy in saying they arc highly efficient, energetic, and broadminded, standing a peer among the Academies and High Schools of the State. Mr. Hand, who is of European Schooling, has charge of the Vocal Work. The Music Department offers courses in vocal and instrumental music, leading to graduation. In these arc included Voice building, and Artistic Singing, Piano, Violin, all siring and wind instruments, Harmony, Theory, and History of Music. Eand and Orchestra, and Public School Music. The S. A. Choir. The S. A. Orchestra. (=}{=][=] The S. A. Band. Educational Festival The Educational Festival, given December 22, and 23, 1913, had its inception in the desire to surround the choral work, Death of Minnehaha,“ by Coleridge Taylor, with intellectual conditions which would insure the highest degree of artiste attainment possible to the master-piece which was given by the Music Department. The Festival included two educational meetings and an Oratorio. The Presidency of the Mormon Church and leading educators of the state were guests of honor and addressed the sessions of the Festival. As a leading feature f the Festival, the Music Department of the Academy gave the master choral, Death of Minnehaha” poem taken from Longfellow's Scenes of Hiawatha,” music composed by S. Coleridge Taylor. The chorus work was done by one hundred and twenty-five voices and symphony orchestra, conducted by John T. Hand. This was the heaviest choral work ever given in the Church School system and the first time in the history of Central Utah that a complete orchestra has ever been assembled. Prof. A. C. Lund of Provo, sang the baritone role while Mildred Bradford, pupil of the Snow Academy, sang the soprano role. The highest of praise on the rendition of the Oratorio was. given by Dr. G. H. Brimhall and other speakers, while H. H. Cummings, Superintendent of the Latter-day Saints schools, said he had travelled o er the land and visited nearly all of the High Schools in the United States and was positive that none could give such an exhibition of training and ability as was evidenced in the rendition of this great work. Since the inception of producing the composition was prosecuted it has been sung three times in Ephraim, three times in Provo, twice in Salt Lake City, and three times in cities of Sanpete county, viz: Moroni, Mt. Pleasant, and Fairview; making in all eleven performances in the leading cities of our glorious West. No other choral ever given in Utah has had the number of renditions or created so general an impression throughout the length and breadth of the state for the uplift of music. From the soloists connected with the Music Department in these concerts, it should be mentioned that one, a product of the Snow Academy, Edna Anderson, has successfully appeared on the concert stage of Salt Lake City,' winning the most enthusiastic of criticisms from the press, also having been twice invited by Evan Stephens, conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir” to sing the Ode to the Pioneers,” written by Mr. Stephens, in the Tabernacle at Salt Lake City. Her voice has been pronounced by leading vocalists as of the quality and capabilities of Melba.” It is hoped that the Educational Festival will take definite form, augmenting itself and becoming an annual activity of education in Sanpete county, at the same time reserving one night for presentation of an Oratorio, to be made a feature of the Festival.

Some Student Body Activities Being a record of the txibe of Collard. in the twenty-first year of the reign of Judge Noyes. 1. Now behold, it came to pass in the twenty-first year of the reign of the righteous Judge Noyes of the Snow Academy, there arose a mighty student-body of the tribe of Collard. 2. And it came to pass that they walked in the ways of their ruler and because of their righteousness, they gained much favor in the sight of their Judge. 3. Lo, and behold, because of their righteousness, rt came to pass that on the fifth day of the twelfth month of the tw'enty-first year of the reign of Judge Noyes, they gathered together ;n the gymnasium for the purpose of feasting and rejoicing. i. And they entered into a covenant to fight for their liberty, yea. and even to uphold the good name of the Snow Academy. 5. And now it came to pass they bad continued peace for many days, in so much that they became lifted up in the pride of their hearts and did swear vengeance against the Riebfieldites, who were living in the land southward. 6. Now it came to pass on the twenty-eighth day of the second month of the twenty-first year of the reign of Judge Noyes, all the tribes of the Snow Academy mounted the special train and journeyed soi thward unto Manti. 7. But lo, and behold, it came to pass that the sons of Hayes hardened their hearts against the sons of Noyes, insomuch that there arose a great rebellion and they gathered together their warriors to destroy the sons of Noyes. 8. Nevertheless, the sons of Noyes assembled their forces together to cause vengeance to come upon th sons of Hayes, and they sen: forth a proclamation that they would fight for the privilege of going to Provo, which was in the land northward. 9. And lo, and behold, it came to pass that the warriors of Noyes and the warriors of Hayes did meet together In mighty battle. 10. And the warriors were all young men and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, th.is was not all; they were men who were true at all times In whatsoever thing they were entrusted. 11. And now it came to pass that after forty minutes of bloodshed and other side shows, the warriors of Noyes were crushed and the tribe from the land of Ephraim retreated in sore remorse. 12. And it came to pass that the Riebfieldites did carry their laurels down town, yea even to the Manti Temple, and did rejoice exceedingly. 13. Behold, the Principal of the Richfield High School did say unto us: “If you will lay down your arras, and subject yourselves to be governed by those to whom the Championship doth rightly belong, then 1 will cause that my people shall lay down their weapons and shall be at war no more. 14. Because of defeat at the hands of the Richfieldites, the sons and daughters of Noyes did seek a redemption. 15. Now behold, the songsters of the Snow' Academy did lift their voices Insomuch that they were praised throughout the land. 16. And lo, they did travel northward to the cities of Moroni, Mt. Pleasant, and Fairview', yea they did stretch their necks properly in doing justice to “The Death of Minnehaha. 17. Now' behold, the Student Body, according to the w'ords of the prophet, did henceforth continue to prosper and gain favor in the eyes of their Judge. Student Body Officers President. Ge rg e E.

Physical Culture The aim of this course is to secure endurance, physical power, physical courage, and to overcome physical defects of the body. The first thing needful is to lake slock of one's physical make up. put the body in the best possible condition for doing its work and then keep it in good order. One of the aims of physical training is to make exercise interesting and enjoyable. To be beneficial in the highest sense it must he recreative Particularly is this true for students. As a class, in their daily work, they are under a constant mental strain; they are to a large degree, physically inactive. Exercise, therefore, for students must be recreative, relaxing, and restful, to get results. Athletic training consists of exercises with Indian clubs, calislhenic drills, apparatus work, wrestling, boxing, marching, breathing drills and games. The Basketball Team. Baseball Boys. The Track Team. Girls’ Club. Boy Scouts Our Alumni Association It lias been customary in the past for people to measure a school by the magnificence of its buildings, by the degreed members of its faculty, tlie number of students in attendance, or the victories gained by its athletes. It must be acknowledged that these standards of measurements are not sound; the building does not make the school, nor is the degree a guarantee of fitness for teaching. Enrollment depends upon popularity and popularity today is more often the result of the “sporting spirit than of the “study spirit. Athletes, too, are seldom studious. What then is the best standard of measurement? Since the purpose of education is to equip one for life, why not measure the school by the usefulness of the lives of those who have graduated from it? Measured from this standpoint the Snow Academy ranks high. Its graduates are numbered by the hundreds; they are scattered over our state and are doing a mighty work. Dr. J. E. Muinuan, official collaborator of rural education, whose business is to study the educational systems in the different states of our country, made the statement that he found our graduates among the best teachers in Utah, and that he knew of only one other school of its size that was doing a similar work and that school was located in one of the southern states. Members of our .Alumni association have become presidents of colleges, instructors in Universities, doctors, dentists, lawyers, scientific farmers, and scientific house wives. We have produced more teachers than any school of similar size in Utah. Our instructors are men of personality who are measured from a moral as well as a scholastic standpoint. Their business is to make better men and better women and they are attending to their business. The members of the Alumni association have also taken up the spirit and the work of their school and are aiming to do all the good they can, in all the ways they can, to all the people they can, and as long as ever they can. Don’t Forget 1. That Ephraim City is admirably situated for educational advantages. 2. That the Snow Academy has an ideal location, 3. That the Snow Academy has beautiful surroundings. 4.

The consecration of all human intelligence to the most honored activities of man—agriculture and home-making—is the wonderful motive of the College. In interpreting and performing its mission, the Institution has been inspired by the history of Utah—full of noble sacrifice and devotion to principle—and continually upheld by the State’s liberal approval of practical education. It reads further that Utah holds manhood and womanhood above all else, and it patterns its courses to develop these things. A superstructure of trained intelligence upon a foundation of character is the requirement for graduation. Tributary, in a sense, to the fundamental courses in Agriculture and Home Science and Art are the courses in Mechanical Arts, Commerce, Agricultural Engineering, and General Science.
