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.

Secretary-Auditor Editor of Snowonian Editor of Snowdrift Our Opportunity 'The old order changeth, yielding place to new. Vividly the words of Tennyson portray the present condition of our school. 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.

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 Ten
