FOUNT OF TRUTH AND LEARNING A Few Facts The Sanpete Slake academy was organized under the direction of the stake presidency. Presidents Canute Peterson, Henry Beal and John B. Maiben. For a number of years there had been a sentiment expressed in favor of establishing such an institution of learning in Sanpete county, and inasmuch as Ephraim was the center, it was chosen as the place. So on November 5, 1888. the school was opened and courses were provided in preparatory and intermediate departments, with Alma Greenwood as principal and Miss Carrie Henry as assistant. These two persons acted in this capacity from 1888 to 1891. During the latter year George Christensen of Mt. Pleasant was selected for principal, with Prof. A. C. Lund as assistant. They served in these capacities but one year and were succeeded in 1892 by Prof. Newton E. Noyes and John Peterson, the former remaining as principal for 29 years—from 1892 to 1921. About 1897 Joseph Y. Jensen and Carrie Peterson were added to the faculty, and a little later Thomas A. Beal. Parley Nelson and William G. Barton. During the administration of Brother Noyes, the school gradually grew from a preparatory and intermediate high school to a six year normal course, four year high school, three year domestic science and art, and three year agriculture. In 1900 the name was changed to Snow Academy, and in 1917 the namo was again changed to Snow Normal College. In 1921, Wayne B. Hales was appinted as president of the institution and served until 1924. During Prof. Hales’ administration, the junior college department of arts and sciences was added, the name changed to Snow College, and the institution was admitted to the American Association of Junior Colleges. In 1924 President Milton H. Knudscn was appointed president, and the school now has 232 college students. At first the work of the academy was given on the top floor of the old Co-op store on Main street. About 1896 the school was moved to the North ward school house, where the normal and high school work was given. In 1898-99 the business department was added and the work was offered in one of the business houses on Main street. In the years 1903-04, the present building was complete. The gymnasium was completed in 1912. It is one of the best gymnasiums of its size in the slate. The gallery is equipped with an indoor race track. There are three roomy dressing rooms fully equipped. In addition there are store rooms for the varied play equipment. The state takes control of Snow College July 1, 1932, as provided for by House Bill 101. Editor’s Note If I print jokes in the Snowdrift, some people think the paper is frivolous. If I don't, they say it is too sophisticated or high-hatted and won't even read it. If I write all original matter, they say I lack variety. If I fill half the pages with articles from other college papers, I am lazy. If I run down news at its source, I am wasting time. If I don't, I am not attending to business. If I don’t print all contributions, I am partial. If I do. I lack discrimination. WANTED: A new editor.

Page Two HERE WE PLAYED TOGETHER Administration Changes When Snow opens its doors for registration next September 19 und 20. it will be the one junior college of the State of Utah. The transfer of administration from church to state will formally occur July 1, as provided by H. B. 101. The State Board of Education will constitute the board for the college und will largely formulate its policies. The board, however, has been active already in making plans for next year. The course of study has been formulated; the policies of the school defined; the catalogue written; the faculty employed, and details of operation are rapidly being organized. Aside from the diminution of religious training, however, there are to be but few major changes. Some courses arc to be added: others, modified, but the curriculum will remain essentially the same. The standards of scholarship and conduct are to remain the same. The present student body organization is unimpaired. Within the Stale Board there has been organized an Executive Committee of Snow College. It consists of C. N. Jensen as chairman, George A. Eaton. John C. Swenson and Joshua Greenwood. This committee has direct responsibility in formulating slate policies for the college. All this committee except John C. Swenson are from Salt Lake City; Professor Swenson is from Provo. Other members of the Board are George Thomas, president of the University of Utah: Elmer G. Peterson, president of the Utah State Agricultural College; Miss Kate Williams of Salt Lake City. J. M. MacFarlanc of Cedar City, C. A. Robertson of Moab and Secretary A. C. Matheson of Salt Lake City. The records of the members of the Board disclose years of service in fostering the educational interest of the State. Under its new administration, it is certain that Snow will continue to grow as it has done during its previous forty-four years. Snow Fully Accredited Snow is a fully accredited junior college. For years, because of its high scholastic standards, its credits have been accepted at senior colleges and by the State Department of Education. The recent action of the Northwestern Accrediting Association of high schools and institutions of higher learning is a formal recognition that enrolls Snow among the standard schools of America. There is no higher authority than the state and the approval of Utah will be formally placed upon Snow credits as a junior callcgc next school year. The recognition of being an accredited institution means that Snow's credits will be accepted for teacher certification in any of the western states that do not have a residence requirement, provided the kind of credits presented satisfies the state requirement for certification. Rcognition means also that Snow credits will be accepted either as required subjects or as electives, and at face value, in the senior colleges of the land. Prerequisites in such highly specialized fields as medicine, law. and engineering may be satisfied here. For some time this school has been recognized as a pre-medic institution. Students who have chosen their fields, and who choose their courses in harmony with the requirements of their fields, can find no difficulty in having their credits accepted. Accrediting places a stamp of approval on the quality of credits and leaves only the problem found in any college, that of selecting the subjects that satisfy the demands of the various occupations. Page Three M. H. KNUDSEN President of Snow L. It. ANDERSON President of Executive Committee A Challenge Education is being criticised today because men have lost their perspective. Is this criticism justified? What can we do about it? Drowning men grasp at straws, because they lose their perspective. They arc enveloped up to their eyes and the water often blurs the sight so they can’t sec clearly even a short distance away. What will keep the U. S. A. on a steady keel? It will be to keep essentials sharply defined from the non-essentials. In this bi-centennial year it is well to keep the words of Washington uppermost because they have proven the test of nearly one hundred and fifty years. Education alone can save our government and its people, because we must have an intelligent citizenry. I am looking to the leadership of Snow College students to place the emphasis on life where it rightly belongs. What arc essentials und what arc non-essentials? We all have faith in eternal life and further more, we believe that today is one day of that eternal life. Today we prepare ourselves for the tomorrow. Our progress toward the final realization of Truth will depend upon how we put into practice what we have already learned. If we cease to place the right emphasis on the right kind of education, our republic is doomed. Will you students of Snow College accept this challenge—Carry the Torch of Education and thus save our country. M. H. KNUDSEN. His Message Snow College as a Church Institution terminates with the current school year. 'Die change is no doubt at an opportune time in view of the new policy. of religious administration retiring from secular education. Naturally. we feel regrets, but more fully realize to what extent the church deserves our gratitude for giving us Snow College—for giving us advantages and opportunities of learning, otherwise impossible. Our spiritual guidance has always been one of progress. The history of this college has more than justified the vision of its inspired Founders. In the affairs of men. the Alumni of Snow take high places religiously and civically. We have faith that such u heritage will prove of untold value. Therefore. as a State Institution a glorious destiny awaits in enriching the leadership of a great and growing commonwealth. God bless the future Snow College! L. R. ANDERSON. Executive Committee L. R. ANDERSON. Chairman N. E. NOYES DR. A. J. NIELSON SOREN M. NIELSON A. B. MADSEN M. H. KNUDSEN. Secretary Won’t you be sorry about school closing? The work and play have been enjoyable. Once a Snow student, always a Snow booster. Pac-rt Four JOSEPH F. MERRILL Commissioner of Education A Word of Appreciation All friends of Snow College will rejoice greatly that the college Is to continue, that the impending change is a transfer and not a closing. But from another point of view, even a closing would not mean the end of the college, for as long as memory lasts. Snow College will continue to live in the minds and hearts of its loyal sons and daughters. Death is pronounced only upon things of the earth, not upon things spiritual—the things characteristic of the Snow spirit. But the college is to continue and its doors will still swing open to the fine type of young men and women who have entered in the past. This fact is a source of joy to us all. For the good work that Snow has done during each of its years under church auspices, for the loyalty of its officers and teachers to the finest of educational ideals, for the ready responsiveness the students have always shown to the requirements of the college, the General Board of Education is deeply appreciative. Snow passes to public auspices with the best wishes and blessings of the General Board. JOS. F. MERRILL. College delights in revealing how little students really know. John C. Swenson of the State Board of Education was a campus caller Friday. DR. C. N. JENSEN State Superintendent of Public Instruction An Appreciation The institution which by provision of law is now designated as Snow College has been operating since 1888. Forty odd years is a sufficiently long period to permit of the establishment of a number of fine traditions. We shall mention but one in this very brief article. The college has always been exceptionally careful to ascertain the needs of the people it has had to serve and it has been equally careful in planning its work to meet these needs. Largely as a result of this policy its graduates have gone into the schools of the state equipped to give intelligent and needed service right from the start. It has been the exception, not the rule, for a district to wait for the graduate to pass through a more or less extended probationary or experimental period before receiving good work from the beginning teacher. To give the best possible service to the communities, it serves has become a fine tradition of the Snow College. The recent action of the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools in placing the college on its accredited list of junior colleges is evidence of creditable standing, brought about by a long continued progressive policy. Let us hope that under state control the college may continue on in its good work. DR. C. N. JENSEN. There is no other place like Snow. Isn't it friendly, democratic, challenging? Page Five HELEN A.

Page Six Alumni Activities To Our Patrons Boosting for Snow College has been the aim of the Snow College Alumni Association during the past year. This organization has put forth a united effort to prove that it is an asset to the school. At the present time plans for a homecoming arc nearly completed. This celebration is to take place May 27. in honor of the change in administration of the school from the Latter-Day Saint Church to the State of Utah. The commencement exercises will take place in the morning and the alumni program in the afternoon. At 1:C0 p. m. a banquet will be given in honor of the former students of Snow College and other guests. From 2:30 until 3:00 o’clock, a band concert will be given by the Ephraim high school band. This will be followed by such activities as horseshoe pitching, tennis, mass ball and indoor buscball. At 6:30. the evening program will begin. It will consist of numbers from the college band, musical numbers, readings. Maypole braiding and dancing. Later in the evening, former classmates will mingle together once more in a dance at Dreamland Hall. Members of the general committee on preparations are Francis J. Gurney, president; Melba K. Armstrong, vice president: Chas. A. Wall, treasurer; Anna Jensen, secretary. Members of the executive committee are J. S. Christensen, Udell Jensen, Lyman Willardson, Mary Nielson, Oran Anderson. Mrs. Ruel Christensen. An ideal way to show the value of Snow College is to mention what her alumni has done, for what she has done in the past, she can repeat. During her 44 years of existence. Snow has turned out a great number of worthy graduates who have gone to near and distant lands to help share this world's problems. Artists, authors and singers have received their inspiration and encouragement during their years at Snow College. Business men and women- fathers and mothers have gained a new insight toward life while studying under the guiding influence of the college's instructors. The college has primarily been known as a teacher training institution. Because of this, it may be supposed that our graduates would only be found in the educational lield. That is but partly true for a goodly number have become successful in law, medicine, dentistry. music, art, architecture, engineering, business, agriculture and politics. These are now distributed over the United States, but. of course, most of them arc close by. We point with pride to a conspicuous few, who are now before the public in each of these fields. Among those in educational positions are Dr. C. N. Jensen, state superintendent of public instruction: Dean Thomas A. Beal of the school of commerce, University of Utah; Louis A. Peterson, superintendent of the city schools of Logan: Dr. Chas. A. Smith, superin-tendnt of the schools of Provo, and Superintendent D. C. Jensen of the Jordan school district. In the field of law. Judge Ephraim Hansen of the supreme court of the state occupies the most conspicuous position. In addition we may name D. M. Draper, former state chairman of the Demoncratic party and now special lecturer in the law school of the University of Utah; A. L. Jensen, regular member of the law faculty of the same institution: George D. Casio, prominent practicing attorney of the City of Washington, and Judge N. J. Bates of Sevier County. In art, Professor B. F. Larsen of the B. Y. U. faculty and Professor E. M. Jensen of the same institution are making names for themselves. Fred Jensen, an architect of Ogden, and Alva Armstrong, an engineer of Philadelphia, are rapidly rising to the front. Inasmuch as Snow College leaves the jurisdiction of the Latter-day Saint Church on July 1, 1932. it is fitting and proper that there be given here a word of appreciation to the founders of the institution and to those who have spent their efforts in maintaining this school. The present board of education at whose head is Pres. Heber J. Grant, together with the church commissioner of education. Dr. Joseph F. Merrill, all the previous board, and all the presidents of the church connected with the school since its founding as the Sanpete Stake Academy, November 5, 1868, have encouraged, helped and supported the school. Through the encouragement of the general church authorities, the slake presidency, at that time Pres. Canute Peterson. Henry Beal and John B. Maibcn, organized the school. At present a board of trustees head the Snow College school district, which includes all stakes in Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Garfield, Wayne and Emery counties. Lewis R. Anderson is president of this board and Soren M. Nielsen, vice president. Within this board of trustees there is an executive committee with Pres. Anderson as chairman, and Soren M. Nielson. Dr. A. J. Nielson. N. E. Noyes, A. B. Madsen and Milton H. Knudsen, sec. This committee does more of the actual directing of the college. Jacob B. Jacobsen, who faithfully Served on this committee as well as on the board of trustees, passed away during the year. These people mentioned have all stood out in the limelight for their services to our college, but there arc many others unmentioned who have worked to keep the school going from its infancy to the present time. To them as well as to all those mentioned, Snow College or today is indeed grateful. To the Founders A garland we would weave For the Founders of Snow College. We would gather old memories. Inspirations and dreams-Flowers of old hopes realized, Branches transplanted from Sanpete Stake Academy, New-rooted in many places --Branches that bore fruit in varied fields Of faith, of love, of high endeavor— Branches that have received recognition In the high places and in the lowly walks of life Branches that have grown into something Of power and of lasting beauty. A garland we would weave For the Founders of Snow College. We would gather for you the gratitude The love, and quiet appreciation Of all the devotees that have followed In that long procession, Beginning in the Sanpete Stake Academy. Advancing with stately, measured steps, To our present institution, Snow College, our Alma Mater. Joyfully and hopefully we shall add to these The sweet perfume of the flowers That are to come— The future accomplishments Aspirations and dreams Of Snow College. - ■ F. Y. Page Seven Student Officers Elect RALPH BLACKHAM Student Body President A Message Students, another year is drawing near a close at Snow. For nine months we have been working and playing together. During this time we have met many new and dear friends that we wish never to forget; in fact, we hope to see many of them returning to school next year. This year views Snow’s last days as a Church college; next year the State of Utah will have direct authority over it. Some may think that under State jurisdiction it will become a larger and better school. We are hoping it will, but we are not forgetting the great opportunities it has held out to the many students who have attended it under Church jurisdiction. Let us pause amid our duties to think over these opportunities and to give humble thanks to our church for its labors in keeping this college so near us. Students, you have elected student body officers for next year. These officers you have chosen because of their established qualities as leaders. Return next year or encourage others to come and give the officers the same fine support you have given us. Let your slogan be On Snow College. Ralph Blackham.

When this year’s work has been completed, Snow College will cease to function as a Church institution will “yield to the new in becoming a state junior college. This change does not mean that the traditions and Ideals of the old school will be destroyed. They will be retained and fused with the new, giving strength and power to the young institution. The first year of the new school will be a critical year; it will lie one of experimentation in which the state will determine whether or not Snow will live. The outcome will rest primarily upon the student-body activities, the quality of work of the students, the increase or decrease of student-body membership, and whether or not the school is accomplishing its purpose as an educational institution. Therefore, there is a great responsibility resting upon every member of the school. There is greater opportunity now than at any time for students to prove their loyalty to the school and its cause. Students, when you leave school this year, leave it with a determination to advertise the high ideals and standards of Snow College, to increase the membership of the student body, and to create a spirit that will guarantee to the people of this district a permanent State Junior College.

Page Nine Case of the Sophomores In Parting As the famous Sophomores of '32 near the end of their Illustrious career, their thoughts travel back to the days when they were mere Freshmen. Ah, how far away seems that eventful day in September of 1930 when a group of fresh young things direct from the superior training of neighboring and distant high schools entered the halls of Snow College. If they thought that they had all the knowledge necessary to face the world, they soon decided somewhat differently. Like their predecessors, these Freshmen sometimes accidentally forgot that there were such things us classes and assemblies to attend. However, it was not their nature to remain down for any length of time. Not many weeks passed before this outstanding group of individuals began displaying the Intelligence, with, and capability which were theirs. At any rate, by May 1931. the Frosh had shown their superior ability in many fields, and they had acquired many things whereby they could show their superiority to the oncoming freshmen of the next year. Their praiseworthy achievements were applauded by the envious upper classmen as well as by the learned faculty members. These Freshmen cherished the memories of essays and numerous other literary attempts made during the year. On more than one occasion were they stimulated to use the dictionary for the purpose of interpreting unheard-of words to be used in their masterpieces. .Numerous times were they politely referred to Kittredge and Farley or to Self-Aids in a worthy struggle to clarify faulty grammatical construction. Literary attempts reached a climax when Veola, a freshman (remember that the honorable Sophs were Frosh in these days), and Myron, and other followers of the green, captured both the informal and the formal essay prizes. In due lime these Freshmen, strange, to say. became Sophomores. During their stay at Snow, this group of scholars absorbed much valuable information and became exceedingly skilled in doing certain things. They excelled in the ability to take in good part all sarcastic remarks from professors. Those who chose to become what has been termed trainers came, after many humiliating occurrences, to the point where they were able to accept with the utmost graciousness criticisms heaped upon their heads from day to day. If you are prone to doubt this statement, yours is the privilege of asking any who have gone through the mill. In cl'Orus work the Sophs have displayed their unusual ability in producing fine tones as well as in rounding and projecting the lips. They have a surplus of historical, economical, and social knowledge. Evidence of this fact is shown by the intelligence of the Sophomores concerning the history of their own class; by their knowledge concerning the present depression, which has struck the members of their hall of fame, and by the social contacts gained through the organization of the radiator clubs situated at various points in the auditorium and in the halls. It is a well-known fact that almost all available honors bestowed by the grace of Snow College have been received by the distinguished members of the Sophomore class. Both of the representative students brought honor by being selected from among their group; the Prom leaders were dignified Sophs; and leads in the plays, four of the outstanding debaters, and numerous at'ile.es of the institution were Sophs. A majority of the s udeat body officers were Sophomores. Why, it is a known fact that Sophomores won ALL places in their class election. In addition to these outstanding honors, the Sopho- Faculty, Freshmen, and Snow College, we, the Sophomores of '32, like graduates of years gone by, wish to express to you our parting word. It has come time for us to leave this school and go on to higher institutions or other fields of labor. Some of us will go one way and some another, but no matter where we go, we go as products of Snow College, bearing the official seal, our diplomas. Because of this fact, we go cheerfully. Snow, you have served us well. You have transformed us into creative beings. You have taught us of the undiscovered worlds and of what is contained within them. You have tried to make us feel that we can enter these worlds, if we will but pay the price of entrance. Your efforts to place us on higher plains and make of us true sons and daughters in spirit, has not been entirely futile. We cherish every hour we have spent during our stay with you. Long may you be the beacon light that illuminates the paths for young men and women. Faculty, may we take this opportunity to express our sincere regret at having to leave you and the school at this time. You have been the actual instruments moulding and carving us into desirable images. Not only have you drilled us in our work, but your happy and youthful spirits have made college life worth while. Wherever we go we will always be thinking of you and wondering if you have forgotten the old times spent at Snow. Of course, we realize our stay is only one of the small Items to go down as school history, but there are certain personal undertakings we want you to remember with us. In connection with our parting farewell to our faculty friends, we especially want to thank our advisers of this year, Mr. Jensen and Mr. Barton, who have solved many of our problems. To you Freshmen, we extend our hands, desiring that you will give yours in everlasting friendship. You have helped to prepare us for life in that the friendly competition you so willingly offered, has made us fight to maintain our standards. Many interesting things have taken place between our two classes in which much pep and energy were expelled. Let us recognize those fetes as promoters of clean, elevating fun. So as our parting word, we bestow upon this wonderful institution our united wish that it may continue to grow and flourish and that our children's children may be its sponsors of tomorrow. Sophomore President. Have you heard of the Scotchman— Who refused to equip his office building with fire escapes because it was leap year? Who wanted to build a house and sent to the nearest Masonic temple for some Free Masons? Who squeezed a nickle so tightly that the next person receiving it found the Indian riding the buffalo? more class became famous as a result of the beard-growing contest Truman Mathie won repute for growing the longest beard; Meeks, the reddest; Reese, the thickest, and Vernon, the prettiest. The poor Frosh were consoled by the fact that a member of their group boasted the sparsest beard in the institution. From circumstantial and other evidence presented heretofore, who has the courage to dispute the decision that the Sophomore class of '32 is absolutely unparalleled anywhere in history?

Page Twelve Frosh Evolution Through the Crystal I am just a frcshic (spelled without a capital letter too), but I find that the philosophy of life is just this: getting along with life means getting along with others. I came to school, like other conceited freshmen, with vaulted ideals that would reach to the top of the highest Himalaya. I figured that I was important enough for Ephraim to have the band out to welcome my arrival with trumpet blast and loud hurrah. But fate pushed me down into the group, and when Ephraim's best dog-gey” band of brawling sheep came to greet me. I realized that I was just one of many who were to seek knowledge and train for social efficiency. My first bit of education was on hand shaking. It was then that I learned the two extreme poles of educational theory. My first hand clasp with a faculty member did not possess enough expression” to make a repression, so I was duly initiated into social life by being taught the technique of handshaking. The first two weeks of college life were homesick and hectic ones. Those weeks introduced me to the diagraming of sentences. Among parallelisms, subordinations, comma and period faults, I was lost. I truly believe that old wiseman who said, In the multitude of education, education seems to be forgotten.” Out of all the diagraming. I learned one famous sentence— Tom, the Piper's son. stolcd a porker. Believe me that sentence carries the philosophy of getting along with others, for the person who can laugh at it when the English teacher is using it to demonstrate the important concept of direct object, must apply Shakespeare's definition of tact— Observe the mood, the quality of the person, and the time. Well, enough said for getting along with life in the class of freshman composition. The only other bit of wisdom to remember is That it's a wise student who knows his critic. One can get along with life in more than one way. College and I rambled along together very nicely until, as a prospective pedagog, I struck common branches. When I entered that class. I discovered that the branches of learning had nothing in common with me. In fact, they were very uncommon. Perhaps I had not had enough social life with historical characters in the grade school. I tried using parallel structure to maintain a balance in my mind as to who were the most important men in history. Invariably the balance would not stay, and I would find that I had forgotten to remember on which side of the parallelism Horace Mann stood. I passed successfully through the panics of 37” and 93,” but in the Spanish-Amcrican war, my best neighbor forgot to be sociable to me. He did not let me get alo; g with him, and as a result, I did not get along with others or the test either. Time went on and Freshman Week dawned. Amidst all of the baby dolls and knee-length trousers, I was sure my social efficiency would take a drop. When Mr. Snell suggested the title- The Relation of Scholarship to Freshman Week”—for a composition. I was doubtful of my true social standing, but when he said, What fools ye freshies be,” I worried no longer, for I knew that fools and frcshics went along famously together, especially during Freshman Week. I drew the conclusion that even though I was not studying, I was living Ah- ze year she ess 1931 when I see one large group- one, two, three- one hundred ten in all- what you call 'Frcshics, crowd together in ze hall of Snow College. Ze young things—how awkward, how timid, how what you call 'green —yet how fresh and sweet and hopeful. Ooo, la. laf Such a life is theirs. Zey write their programs for daily routine on ze cards. Zey timidly walk to ze room, compare ze number on the door to ze one on ze card and if zey are not alike, zey pass on to ze next door.

Soon time will pass and I'll lose my freshic ways, or at least I am supposed to lose them, for I have to go the way of all flesh and become a sophomore. However, I always want to be true to my freshic color, for green things grow, and they grow together, too.

Wales Page Fifteen LEST WE FORGET Events in Review Numerous inducements to participate in activities outside the classroom were offered at Snow during the past year. Athletics, dramatics, debate, creative writing, speech, student publications, and other forms of social service offered plenty of opportunities to those so desiring. Football was the first activity to offer a challenge, to which 32 men responded. This is the largest aggregation to ever report for the first practice. President Knudsen gave the dedicatory address for the new sod field, christened Snow Badger Lair, after which the Snow team won a very hard-fought game from the B. Y. U. Reserves for the first time in the history of Snow College, 7-0. Snow kept the new campus from the stain of defeat by tying B. A. C. 7-7 in the other home game of the season on Founders' Day. The other two games played were lost to Weber and Westminster, 25-0 and 7-6. Basketball took up the program later in the season, sharing honors with debating and the school play. Snow won three out of eight league games, defeating B. A. C. twice and Dixie once. She won on the latter's floor, which is the second time in history a junior college team has accomplished this feat. Snow entered in the senior division of the Intermountain A. A. U. tournament. Here she won three games, entering the finals against Pocatello A. C., which game was lost 40-48. Snow also defeated Weber and Westminster in non-league encounters, which gave her a victory over every junior college team in the state. Debating was very successful at Snow this year. Although the debates were all non-decision, they were attended with much interest. The subject for debate was, Resolved: That Congress Enact Legislation Providing for the Centralized Control of Industry.” The affirmative side was upheld by Grant Mason and Maiben Christensen, while the two veterans, Reese Anderson and Kenn Peterson debated the negative. Dorothy Jessen acted as alternate. These five debaters, accompanied by Miss Young, made two extensive debating tours. The Phillips' Extemporaneous Speaking Contest brought the response of eight students. A preliminary was held and three students were chosen from the eight to appear in the finals. Reese Anderson won first place. Kenn Peterson finished second, and Duane Frandsen, third. Miss Phillips presents a medal for first place and a book for second and third places. The school play, Kcmpy, offered more competition for those interested in dramatic art. The cast was chosen by judges. Every student in the school so desirous could try for one of these parts. Many students responded, and those chosen were: Joe Crane, Duane Anderson, Olive Wilson, Zoe Jensen, Louise Fowles, Kenn Peterson. Ruby Lewis and Don Peterson. The Grant Oratorical contest, the formal and informal essay contests, the Fern Young poetry contest, the Scribblers' story contest, and The Snowdrift gave everyone who could write the opportunity to write, while the Knudsen Humorous Reading contest gave the students a chance to show their reading ability. The track team at Snow repeated last year’s performance and ran away with the junior college title again. But only after every athlete had given his best anti nothing but the best did Snow nose out Ricks of Idaho, 60-61. After two tournaments had been played on the school court. Ralph Blackham, Don Peterson, Floyd Young and Drews Anderson were successful in winning the places on the school tennis team. These players will represent Snow in Salt Lake at the junior college tournament some time in May. Pace Sixteen Art Offerings Educational Objectives During the year the art departments at Snow have Introduced students into fields, varying from the teaching of appreciation of the beautiful in general 10 the developing of perfect motor control in typewriting. Commerce, domestic art and homemaking, dramatics, speech, music and languages have all made their contributions toward an enriched life for the learner. The domestic art room, though it displays no elaborate appearance, has been the center of many useful and artistic productions. General art principles were taught as applied to textiles, clothing, interior decorations and home furnishing. The speech work of the students has revea’ed itself in school and in community entertainments. Many phases of speech technique and intcrprctaatlon of literature. including the short story, poetry and one-act play, were included In the speech curriculum. Clarence, “Kempy” and other productions speak for the accomplishments in the field of play production. The department of music has greatly served the community, by musical programs and special numbers. Development has been chiefly in voice culture, instrumental music and music appreciation. The work in commerce has been mainly concerned with the production of methodical typists and accurate stenographers and accountants. Advertising, salesmanship and office practice have also been stressed. English and foreign languages have offered many opportunities to students who have been interested in this line of work. The English courses offered were composition, (for which the freshmen can vouch!, grammar and literature, modern, European and American. S. C. Degrees Another degree is to be offered at Snow next year, that of Prospective Applied Arts. This addition makes a total of four possible degrees among which students may choose to qualify during their two years of junior college work, the others being Associate in Arts, Associate in Education and Associate in Science. The nature of the degree depends upon the nature of the subjects offered for graduation. The degree of Prospective Applied Arts is intended to provide for those pupils whose chief interests are in applied arts. The major work may be taken in either Commerce, Home Economics, Agriculture, Arts. Languages or other applied courses which may be added to the curriculum. Students wishing to qualify for this degree may present fewer hours of credit in each of the four standard groups of courses exact science, social science, biological science and English than are required for degrees in either Arts or Science. This degree is offered primarily for those people who wish to follow a definite line for the development offered or as a terminal course. The requirements for associate degrees in either Arts or Science will be modified slightly from the present catalogue. The total number of required hours in each of the four standard groups will be slightly increased. This change is in harmony with the policies of senior institutions. Its objective is to encourage students who plan on four years of college work to adequately satisfy their lower division requirements during their first two years in college. The changes will be announced in de- It must be acknowledged that personal efficiency in its many phases should be the ultimate aim of a student of the educational department. Of course, the educational department of Snow College recognizes this goal. This department in some colleges is deservedly criticized because of the fact that the teaching is too much of a theoretical nature and fails to offer sufficient stimulus to the practical side of life. Such a college simply prepares the student for graduation from that particular institution. May it be kept foremost in mind that our education does not end with graduation. The school that has the correct attitude toward life will train her pupils so that they will be equipped to meet life's multitudinous problems. The first consideration should be that of making a comfortable livelihood, and to acquire the faculty of selecting and appreciating desirable companionships. The student must be prepared to adjust himself to the society in which he might be placed, the better to render service to community and home life. The second consideration is that of gaining an appreciation for the aesthetic or finer things of life, such as to enjoy the best in music, literature and art. For instance, if people take interest in literature, they meet with other people, virtually visit other countries and become broadened and enlarged by this social contact, more than they would otherwise experience. Another consideration of much importance might come under the title of altruism in being congenial, tolerant and charitable toward all worthy persons and causes, thus developing truly noble character. So far. under the jurisdiction of the church, the education department of Snow College has aimed to in-culate in the minds of her students, these ideals and purposes. It is to be hoped that when the school is supervised by the state that her present high standards may be maintained.—F. J. Art Exhibits The College hallway and the auditorium are adorned with inspiring pieces of art. The exhibits are made possible by the consideration of Jesse L. Young and J. II. Stansfield, both Sanpete county artists of note. The paintings are to be on display during commencement week. At the present time, Mr. Young has a private exhibit at the Brigham Young University. M. Stansfield has exhibited widely. At the recent exhibit in Spring-ville, he won much praise. All the pictures on display were painted this year or last and reveal the artists at their best. When Gabriel blows his trumpet upon that fearful morn, a lot of up-to-the-minute Snow students are likely to think it is some new form of auto siren, turn over, and go back to sleep again. tail in the annual catalogue, which is now on the press. The courses required for the degree of Associate in Education will include all requirements for state certification of elementary teachers. The organization of the courses will be somewhat different; for instance, the combining of Methods and Common Branches and the extending of the proposed course over two quarters. Page Seventeen Badger Clubs In Snow College, clubs form no small pari in the social life of the students. There are three types of clubs, departmental, honorary and regional, numbering seven in all. Each has its own specific motive to carry out. The Snow College system of clubs has passed through the various stages of development as have clubs elsewhere. A club is not maintained unless it is serving the purpose for which it was organized. As the need for new clubs is felt, they are instituted The following clubs, the complete rosier of active clubs, arc discussed from various angles: The “S” club consists of students who have gained, by participation in extra-curricular activities, the right to wear the official block “S.” In the club are twenty-one active members from former years, while sixteen new ones were initiated this year. The S’’ club has conducted a successful program this year, under the direction of Ray I. Johansen, Xell Caffall, Meeks Halladay and William T. Mathie. They sponsored the annual beard growing contest and presented their compcti'.ive program in the assembly May 11. The Arnica dub is Snow’s co-ed club. Its membership consists of all the girls of the college. This year, the club has completed a very active program, under the leadership of its officers. Louise Fowles, Shirley Ogden, Faye Rigby. Julia Modcen, Grace Blackham and Eva Olsen. The chief aim of the club is to conduct a program to provide a tine type of social life among the girls. They have the sister plan whereby the sophomore girls have freshman lasses as little sisters, acquainting them with the ways of college. To do this, the girls have held regular monthly meetings and have held two luncheons, a leap year program and assembly. a co-ed day program and a competitive assembly. The Scribblers’ club was organized in 1926 for the purpose of promoting interest in creative writing. The club has been connected with The Snowdrift and is elit-ing the literary supplement of this issue. It is also featuring the cover of this issue as a project. A highly interesting and instructive program has been conducted, under the direction of Parley Thordcrson, Marie Christensen. Louise Larson, Vcrl Ogden and Viola Madsen. They have conducted two parties, a competitive assembly, and have held monthly meetings at which were given instructive and entertaining programs. The club also conducted a short story contest. The Sigma Delta Chi is Snow’s dramatic club. It was organized in 1927 for the purpose of fostering active interest in dramatics. The program this year has been under the direction of Reese Anderson, Zoe Jensen and Louise Matson. They presented a competitive program and skits for various occasions. They have held several parties during the winter. This club is largely responsible for the stage equipment we now have. The Scvierian club is composed of students from Sevier county and south. The officers for this year arc Royal Harward, Opal Christensen. George Smith. Moroni Jensen. LaPrcle Crabb and Dorothy Jessen. They have presented a competitive assembly and have had several parties. The Castle Valley club consists of all students from Emery and Carbon counties. The officers are Guy Leonard, Phyllis Olsen. Isabcll Grange. Parley Thorderson and Bertha Hunt. They have conducted several partial and hikes. The Tennis club is for the purpose of creating interest in tennis. It has also promoted several tournaments and competitive tennis activities.

Page Nineteen On Nothing: By ROBERT FUNK About the most difficult task I can think of is the writing of an informal essay. It is an easy matter to scribble together a few words, but when those words are supposed to be arranged in a logical, and yet interesting manner, upon almost any subject, the task joins that category of problems known as “hard.” In the first place, that almost any subject” has to be limited to only one, and that one must be upon something with which you are thoroughly acquainted”—so thoroughly acquainted that you can write it with wit and fluency. All this is quite true, but if you have no such subject, what then? I have run the entire gamut of possible topics for informal essays, and as yet, I have found no Inspiration. Of course, having nothing to write upon. I could choose that as a subject, but whoever heard of nothing as a subject for an essay? Still, if I am to write an essay, I must have some sort of topic, and as nothing is as good as something, in this case, it is the subject with which I shall attempt to show that I am well qualified to join that immortal band of workers known as willing but useless authors.” There is something fascinating and yet ominous about that word nothing and the things associated with it. For instance, my teacher gave me about a half dozen clean sheets of paper and then told me to answer some questions which were written upon the blackboard. I pondered over those questions for a few moments and then began answering them as rapidly as I could. After writing for an hour, I succeeded In filling each sheet with some well-spaced words. I handed my paper in and then confidently waited for the ICO per cent such a paper should receive. Days linked themselves together to form a processional chain before my teacher saw fit to return my paper. I looked all over that paper Inside and out— but found nothing. With heated Indignation. I took my paper to the teacher and asked for my grade, and when he said that I had received nothing, I became fully convinced of the liberality of teachers in giving nothing. Nothing does not only plague me in my lessons, but I also find it everywhere I go. Hats, heads, door knobs, apples, and eyes all present that non-cornered square, which Is the sign of nothing. Even my sleep Is troubled by nightmares of nothing. I go to bed and dream that I am a king, a hero, a scientist, or an inventor; but since these are only dreams built from my imagination, they are really nothing. But my sleep is not always troubled with dreams, for often I have tired myself so completely with the day's activities that I fall into a void so deep, so like death, that only one word can explain it nothing. In geography I learned that the earth is round, and in algebra I received conclusive proof that a curved line ending in itself stands for nothing. That being the case. I must be living on a world of nothing: but if I am. then I am nothing, which is impossible: and so I am left In a controversy with the left half of my brain debating with my right over nothing. However, I have one consolation; if I am nothing, my fellow bipeds arc also nothing. When I came to this conclusion in my reasoning, I decided to put It to a test. I have a very antagonistic enemy. Every day he manages to make my life miserable in some way or another—hence I received the happy thought of using him to prove my theory on nothing. The next time I saw him, I did not give him the opportunity to pester me instead, I walked up to him and then put all my force behind my right fist, which was aimed In the general direction of his head. The blow landed all right and Mr. Enemy stretched his form on the sidewalk. All that was as it should lx ; but instead of proving to lx nothing, he proved to be something as my battered frame and a hospital bill show. This was rather a set back to my reasoning: however, I wasn't wholly discouraged. I re-checked my reasoning and then tried various other experiments to prove its validity. I stuck pins in myself, I pounded on doors. 1 kicked trees, and I leased animals. In every case, I fount my reasoning to be at fault, since each experiment proved nothing to be something. And so, looking at it from all sides and from all conceivable angles, I am sure that to make this world safe and sane nothing” must be eliminated from it. To do this, all great scientists, religionists, mediclsts, economists. sociologists and teachers should be called together to hold a council on how to rid the world of nothing. Think of the history, the inventions, and the arguments that would arise from a meeting on nothing. Worlds would be created, conquered, and destroyed; space would be used up; and man made infinite in his greatness— which of course, would be nothing. It would be safe to say nothing in such a meeting and yet to keep on the subject— in fact, it would be a inecca for the deaf and dumb, for they would be able to talk and hear about nothing without altering their condition. Animals, men, children, and women could get along in perfect harmony at a meeting on nothing and thus it would carry over into the animal world, but also into the only-here-for-a-minute abodes of the humans. Thus peace would descend upon the earth, carrying for its banners, peace, prosperity, and happiness. All this would be from nothing, and hence the results obtained would be nothing, resulting in a cycle; for one would have to start again at the beginning, which was nothing, and so would continue to be nothing until somebody could have the happy inspiration to call nothing something,” and thus cause the world to run on in its usual way.

Page Twenty-one The Teakettle’s Tale By LYMAN PETERSON Everyone knows that all living: creatures from the great tenor. Caruso, down to the unseen cricket in the grass, have some form of music to express their experiences and their emotions, whether happy, forlorn, lonely, or dejected. But when we come to the field of inanimate objects, which includes teakettles, well— . There arc teakettles and there arc tea kettles. Some arc big and burly ones with a characteristic base voice. Others aren’t nearly so large and neither do they sound so low a note as the larger ones, except on special occasions. Some teakettles which have served through many a day have holes in the rim around the top which causes them to sing in a rather broken voice. They dare not sing too loudly, for experience has taught them that, should they do so, their voices would break, causing some little embarrassment, assuming of course, that teakettles have feelings. Of all the teakettles I have known, there is one which stands out in my memory as being most apt in expressing its experiences, moods, and attitudes. This one was a copper teakettle which occupied a position, sometimes on the center of the stove in our kitchen, or rather, in its living room. This teakettle saw the whole family reared from babyhood to manhood, from the time the first baby was washed with part of its cooled-down contents until the youngest boy doused himself for the last time before going out to seek his fortune. Now let’s start at the beginning. On that first morning of importance, on being returned to the center of the stove, Old Copper,” as the teakettle was familiarly called, sang with delight to think that it had been of such service to the new-born youngster. At intervals during the day, this song continued; and in the weeks to follow, every morning brought its repetition. Later in the forenoon of each day, the teakettle settled down to a rather thoughtful mood, seemingly as if it were quietly talking to itself about the days, not far off, when a child would be romping around on the floor. When the days came, the old teakettle had its songs of glee ready, and sang them in its best voice, at the same time dancing up and down on the stove in rhythm with its own music. All was not singing about babyhood, however. Time out for thought was taken. Many a long afternoon in midwinter Copper spent humming away to itself; sometimes loud, at other times nearly silent as if reflecting upon the future and what was to be expected in this life, what those children were going to do in the next dozen years, and what the parents would do after they were gone. This thinking aloud even sounded melancholy on afternoons when all the boys and girls had skipped off to school, leaving mother home alone to darn stockings or to make school dresses for the girls. She who could anticipate the future laid aside any regrets she might have had for the past and started to hum a tunc as she sewed, making the teakettle ashamed for feeling so blue. It realized then, as she did, that the best times are those expected rather than those which have happened. When towards supper time, the fire was stirred up, the teakettle began quite often to buzz like an angry bee, probably because it had been disturbed from its peace of the afternoon; however, this anger, by and by. cooled down to a moderate tone which might have indicated that all had been industry rather than dissatisfaction. Days passed and this teakettle saw more and more of life, saw holidays come, Christmas and Thanksgiving, when aunts and uncles from the city visited; on such days the crowning effort at singing was put forth but Seemed to go unheaded amidst the bustle and preparation for the feast. Only for a minute when things quieted down so that grace could be said over the food, did anyone take any notice of the effort being put forth by the teakettle to be sociable. On Christmas evening while the young folks were all in the living room playing with their toys after the Danish fashion, with the older ones looking on or Joining in on the games, Old Copper would sit and think or quietly talk to itself, only being heard when, in the course of the evening, the father of the family came out in the kitchen to stir up the fire. It seemed then to be half contented to think everyone else was so happy and half sorry to think it couldn’t play with the children in the other room. When everything else was going on in routine, the teakettle made its own entertainment and even interested those of the,family who were not so busy with worldly things but that they had time to listen. On an evening while the chores were being done and the wood was being brought in, a good imitation of a saw was set up, which showed that the teakettle remembered the sounds which came in through the open door the time a tree was cut into stove length in the back yard. It even remembered the variations in pitch: as the saw sank deeper into the tree, base notes resulted, then as it struck a knot, the pitch rose higher, then fell again as the saw passed through into plain wood. If at this time the baby cried, the teakettle set up a rather sympathetic tune as if trying to console the young one, but when the six-year-old whimpered, the teakettle immediately reprimanded him for his impatience. Whole afternoons were spent in mimicking the meows of cats: the pleading of one for food under the kitchen table, the contented purring of the one which has just caught a mouse, the brazen meowing of Tom as he sits on the back fence where he is heard, especially on summer nights when the window is left open, and even the pathetic pleadnig for its mother of the little kitten which hasn’t yet opened its eyes, even though the young one has strayed only a few feet from its home in the old box behind the stove. All these the teakettle practiced on, seemingly deriving more joy from so doing than most mortals get from blowing up and down the scale on any musical instrument. Yet enjoying the baby’s prattle, imitating saws, mimicking cats, entertaining company, and doing other things it liked to do did not last forever; some days nothing suited Old Copper and it would keep silent just as some humans do when things don’t go to suit them. At other times, the old teakettle would be more like an irritable person, would get its Irish up. as they say. and tell everyone what it thought of them, just as one should expect an auburn-headed teakettle to do. Times when Old Copper could talk for hours to an interested listener seemed to give it the most satisfaction. When grandfather lounged in the arm chair with his feet on the oven door on long winter evenings, the two seemd to converse as if they understood each other. The teakettle expressed more moods than ever before as it told of all its past experiences, of joys and sorrows, of pain and pleasure, of excitement and contentment. At last a long blast from the teakettle, as if it were mocking the north wind which came whistling through the keyhole, sent grandfather off to bed. This teakettle knew the charm of entertainment: quit at the peak so there would be a desire for everyone to return again. A few more gusts like the wind, a few lulling sounds as if (Continued on Page 23) Page Twenty-two The End of the Vaudeville By RUBY LEWIS Dean I.arkin felt dazed—sort of numblike. He want cd to laugh, but a stab of pain prevented It. As he open cd his eyes, a face hovered over him, gravely and curi-usly. Feeling better?” the man asked. It- it doesn’t hurt so much now,” Dean replied, wincing at a new dart of pain. Did—did you send for Dorothy Allen, like I asked you.” He was assured that Miss Allen was on her way over to the hospital. After a thorough search of the city, the hospital authorities had found Drothy Allen batching, by herself, in a little two room apartment in the poorer district of the city. With a weak smile. Dean closed his eyes. Dorothy Allen,” he whispered. Of all people to ask for. when I am cracked up.” For five years they had teamed together in vaudeville, making audiences laugh as they had never laughed before. He would make a wise crack and she would answer. The audience liked that Theirs had been the biggest act on the circuit. They had been known from coast to coast -Dot and Dean, the two comedians. They had been sweethearts; he—had loved her. But this had all happened ten years ago. What had they quarrelled about. Some other fellow, he supposed: but that didn't matter now; he loved her and he wanted to see her. He had thought about her every day since that night when they had parted. The Teakettle’s Tale (Continued from Page 22) it were the Sandman coming, and then the teakettle slept. Old Copper, as it grew older, was always ready to give advice and consolation to anyone in its own modest way. It talked to the children, when they were not too impatient to listen, about all the big things to which one could look forward to in life; it talked rather instructively to the mother about how to handle the children, and even tried to discuss crop conditions and prospects with the father. When big sister entertained friends at a candy pull. Old Copper was right there to help with hot water and with the entertainment as well; and when the oldest boy went steppin’ out, the teakettle had a generous supply of instructions ready on how to behave—in his harried state of mind, it is doubtful if the boy heard them. Only after spending a few times home alone on a Sunday eve- and their vaudeville act had been broken up. Since then he had quit the vaudeville, quit everything that reminded him of her, tried to put her out of his mind. But he had failed while trying to do this, he had failed at most everything else, as well. The last year things had gone hard with him. He had taken any kind of a job to get his bread and butter. Today the automobile had crushed him. Oh! yes, he remembered, he had been crossing the street, the automobile had struck him, and then he had awakened in this hospital. Dean,” a small voice was saying. That was Dot’s voice cutting through the veils of grey mist. Hello, Dot. thought you'd never get here, he said, trying to smile in spite of a new pain. ‘Thought you'd never send for me, she answered. The room was growing dark. He couldn't understand why. Perhaps the doctor had turned down the lights to ease those new pains of his. But he was feeling fine now. Thanks to Dot. Still workin’ in the vaudeville? he asked. No, I haven't made a success of it since you left me flat” Want to start all over again, this time as Mrs. Larkin ?” More than anything in the world,” she whispered. He was happy for the first time in ten years. She loved him; she wanted him. He wanted to laugh, loudly, widly, but somehow he just couldn't laugh. The gray mist turned a deeper gray. The numbness left him. He smiled up at her, and then he closed his eyes for the last time. Dot knelt beside the bed; she took the still hand in hers. Wait for me, she whispered, we'll do our vaudeville sometime—not now—but, sometime.” ning did the boy calm down enough to listen to the sage advice that all is not merry-making in this world but that there is toil and suffering, and worry also, which we have to look forward to; then the teakettle picked up a merrier slant to the subject and told him it was all right to go out and have a good time sometimes; in fact, he must if he would keep a heart light enough to get along in this life. After the advice was given the children and all the childhood good times were spent, after the children had some day moved away and were probably listening to the newer song of a modern teakettle, Old Copper stayed behind and tried its best to hum Home Sweet Home” for the gray-haired father and mother left there alone. - Has Susie an impediment in her speech? —Yes, there are only 24 hours in a day. Although there arc many diseases prevalent in the country, by far the commonest is high blonde pressure.

Why Not Now that the year is practically over and this is the bust Snowdrift, the editor can make a few-wise cracks without fear of a return editorial making fun of them. The editor of this last edition hereby takes the opportunity to thank all those who have been so longsuffcring during this spring quarter in helping to make the ancient history of the school into modern news for each succeeding issue. No doubt it would even tax the powers of Will Rogers to make a two or even three week old assembly into an item that one out of ten students would read. This has been the job of some of the reporters, but these reporters can probably now-look back with pleasure to such occasions. The editor has enjoyed working for Snow-students, has learened a few things, and wants to pass them on as a heritage, though without obligation on the part of the receivers. To future Snowdrift editors: Develop a newspaper morgue which shall contain all the best material gathered from the English classes and elsewhere; improve the paper by getting a definite policy to follow; stir up enough interest among students that they will voluntarily keep one column hot with controversy, and perhaps divide the Snowdrift for the year between strictly news and strictly literary editions. To the students: Be more sympathetic in making news; don’t leave all your big doings until the end of the quarter or until the day after the paper goes to press; have a few more marriages (for the sake of job-seeking trainers), have elopments even, but please let your editor know before you let the parson. Seriously, when you have your class and club elections, do not elect reporters for the school paper but let the editor select his own. This year it took half the year to run down some of the reporters, only to find they were in training and had no time to report. Final Word No doubt some of the students of Snow College will be disappointed to think that this commencement edition of The Snowdrift is the best substitute for a yearbook we can have. The editor hopes it will at least partly fill his readers' expectations. He has tried to do his best to make this last issue what the students would like to have. If it satisfies, give the credit to the reporters from the Scribblers' Club, to all the other students of the school who willingly contributed pictures, writing or other effort, to the officials of the school who came to our aid, and to Miss Phillips who had the patience to persevere until the end in the making of this edition. Special credit is due Reese Anderson, who furnished the majority of snapshots for the edition. As to the mistakes in the issue, use them as objects to improve upon for another year, you who have the opportunity. Perfection is always in the distance. This year has been one act in the melodrama of life, a good act, for it has or should have taught us students that we can not always luive the things we want in life. We can if we will pay the price; anything may be had for a price, but sometimes that price is too dear. We students could have had a yearbook, but if that had been the case, some brother or sister at home or more likely some father or mother would have worn his or her coat another year in spite of its being worn and threadbare. Which is the most important? We hope this commencement edition will have a value to you worthy of the funds and efforts expended on it. It contains the pictures of those who arc willing to face the photographer’s gun, records of what all the students have done both in curricular and cxtra-curriculuar lines, a few scenes by which you can remember your Alma Mater as you dwell in near or distant lands, andd a few words of home-made literature to comfort you and cheer you on in your declining years.
