Through them come new students, just beginning their eventful days of college. Through these doors go the graduates, with their faces turned eagerly toward the future. In the interim, there has been learning and living of the American way of life— a way to which we humbly offer this chronicle of 1940-41. This American way of life is changing, constructive, dynamic—always critically evaluating the Past and the Present, always planning a better mode of living. It urges self-reliance that respects leadership and the will of the majority, fosters unity of purpose in common weal through individual development of diverse interests. The belief that each individual has potentialities to be developed lends zest to achievement. Cultural solidarity encourages appreciation of constructive attainment, of beauty in its multiple forms. Freedom to be, to learn, to live insures a heritage to every American.

Nuttall, President HIS SHEETING This yearbook, dedicated to the American way of life, is imbued with the spirit of patriotism and loyalty toward this great nation . . . This spirit has been regenerated during the past years because of the call made of us to arise to the defense of it against the possible aggression of a power who has declared the end of democracy . . . May it ever serve to remind us of the personal liberties and human rights granted to us under the power of the government which now calls for our support and may it also tend to keep us ready to arise against not only the military aggressors but also against those who through verbal expression would weaken our confidence in and destroy our support for the land of liberty . . . May it also bind fond friendships more permanently together and keep alive pleasant memories of the experiences and associations of the school year. 24 President Nuttall H.

President Nuttall. THE YEAH In this book, our school life of 1940-41 is reflected. Our classes, faculty, sports, dances, contests are ail represented—a record of our lives for one short season. But no book, no matter how effective, can fully record all the important elements of a school year at Snow College ... At the present time, we cannot accurately measure the value of the information and experience that wc have gained this year. As the years pass, that value will become more and more apparent . . . There is one benefit, however, that wo have already received, a benefit that seems to bo as vital as any other: our associates and friendships. These are undoubtedly an important phase of every successful life. Here at Snow, opportunities to make such friendships are unlimited . . . The close of this year should find each of us immcasureably richer in knowledge, experience, friendships, and fond memories of one of the best school years any group of students and teachers ever experienced. Ralph Anderson One of the many advantages of the American Way of life is the freedom to choose a plan of constructive activities through which personality may be developed and social security established. Each person may succeed in his own field and. in so doing, contribute to the well being of all, making unity and efficiency through diversity a reality. Some may be superior in scholarship, in leadership, in physical skills, in artistic pursuits or in other diverse aspects of our complex society. Basic, however, are the intellectual culture and understanding which weave specialization into appreciation and common objectives for a fuller life. Thora Jensen and Beryl Pickett were selected by the student body as being the Representative ladies of the college. Both are members of the graduating class and have made outstanding records during their two years here. Each will graduate as an Associate in Science. Thora has been secretary-treasurer of the student body this year and has been outstanding in debate. Beryl has edited the Snowonian and participated in inter-collegiate debate. They are members of Utah Gamma and other campus groups. Each has maintained a high scholarship. ■ Wayne Nuttall Valodictorian. Representative Wayne Nuttall was chosen Senior valedictorian because of having the highest scholastic rating during his two college years. He was honored by the students of the school, by popular ballot, as being a Representative man, the basis for choice being social service, character and general scholarship. Wayne has edited the Snowdrift this year and has been active generally in school affairs. He is a member of Utah Gamma, having participated in inter-collegiate extempore speaking. 24 Darol Rasmussen Efficiency. Representative Darol Rasmussen, because of his leadership and high scholastic rating, was selected by the college faculty to receive the Lions Efficiency award. By popular ballot, the students named Darol as a Representative man in recognition of his social service and personality. In forensics. Darol i has been one of the outstanding performers ot the year. He has served as activity chairman for the student body and been generally active in campus organizations. For two years he has been an officer in Utah Gamma. i 35 K)Onox Well WALTER GOODWIN.

Captain Park and Garrett placed on the fill-conference first teams: Bailey, on the second. Faced with the task of defending the Rocky Mountain junior college basketball championship won last year, Coach Eldon Brinley lost no time in training the ccgers once football was over. For the opening practice, more than twenty-five boys reported, indicating widespread interest; there was a squad of about twenty members when the first pre-season game rolled around. Always Coach Simmons and Manager Lee Anderson assisted in furthering the efficiency of the squad. The Badgers, led by six lettermen, opened league play at Grand Junction, Colorado, where they defeated the Mesa cagers. 61-47. They then headed toward home, stopping olf at Price for a tilt with the Carbon five, winning handily, 59-36. to establish themselves as favorites to capture the conference crown for the second straight season. The lettermen on the squad. Captain Ross Park, filma Garrett. LaDell Peterson. Walter Goodwin, Robert Stephenson, and Max find-erson, all looked good on this trip: and Maynard Bailey, newcomer to the squad, packed a real scoring wallop to greatly aid the Snow team. Members of the squad, besides the six lettermen mentioned, were Wesley Peterson, Jack Howarth. Verl Sudweeks, Carl Wilson, and Billie Washburn, forwards: Lee R Thompson and fingus Par- sons. centers: Arthur Rogers. Chad Howes. Max Lunt. and Garth Belliston. guards. The second week of competition. Snow played host to the powerful Weber College quint, and gave the touted Wildcats a 63-42 defeat. Nearly all the squad members saw action, and each played an outstanding game. Features of the game were Bailey’s twenty-five point spree and the all-round playing of the Badgor crew. The Ogden team was outclassed from the opening 40 CHAM I in NS, 13 3 9-41 whistle to the final gun. The following night, although not appearing quite so flashy as against Weber. Snow played to a 51-28 victory over Dixie college, bringing the victory string to four straight. About this time a serious contender to Snow's supremacy rose: Ricks College of Idaho, a team which the Ephraim team didn't meet during the playing season. However, Snow continued toward a championship by a 47-37 victory over Carbon, and a 55-36 win over Westminster. The Mesa Mavericks, still in the running for the title, invaded the Badger gym and took a 52-30 set-back, thereby losing championship chances. On February 14 and 15, Coach Brinley took his cagers on a journey southward where o much improved Dixie five nearly achieved a much longed-for revenge as they came within one point of upsetting the Snow outfit. the final score being 36-35. The next night Snow demonstrated its prowess as it scored a 46-41 victory over the B.fl.C. Farmers. Ricks dropped a game to Weber to place Snow alone in the lead, with nine victories and no defeats. This lasted a week, for on February 21 the Wildcats pulled a few tricks out of the bag and gave the Badgers their only set-back of the campaign, a 58-41 defeat. Undaunted, the Ephraim crew notched up victories over Westminster and B.A.C., by scores of 54-36 and 63-36, respectively. The conference title, on a percentage basis over the Rex-burg team, was established. In a post-season playoff against Pueblo College of Colorado, champions of a twelve-team circuit. Coach Brinley directed his charges to the Rocky Mountain laysee championship for the second consecutive year. Snow won the first two games of the playoff by scores of 59-37 and 58-36; then lost the final game 53-50. The title was safely stowed away for the second consecutive season. Roscoe Park . Guard.

By scoring early victories over Wasatch Academy, the highly rated Moroni and Manti quints. Snow established itself as one of the title contending crews in the Division. Following this flying start, however, the Snow five met defeat, from North Sanpete, dropping an extra-period contest to the Rams. Undaunted, the Badgers again defeated Moroni, but the next week dropped an-ohtor game, this time to Wasatch Academy. Snow then scored over Gunnison and North Sanpete, to again rise to top spot in the circuit. A week later the Badgers were set back a notch by Manti. as the Templars handed the locals their third defeat of the season. Facing a chance for a tie for league honors. Snow took no chances with Gunnison in the final league contest. This victory made a tie with Moroni, necessitating a playoff to decide the team to enter the state tournament. Snow won and entered the sports classic in Salt Lake City. There it succeeded in winning one out of three games, losing to Box Elder and Springville. and winning over Millard high school. Most of the team members will return for performance next year, since only four are lost by the route of graduation. This aggregation of lettered men should bo a promising nucleus around which to build for another championship. ■45 Finn mi,i. si:asii Snow began its Jaysee football schedule with rather dark prospects for the season. Very few members of the squad of the year before returnd to school; and. as a result, the two coaches. Don Simmons and Eldon Brinley. had the task of completely rebuilding a team. Coach Brinley took charge of the development of the line, and Coach Simmons worked on the backfield prospects. Walter Goodwin, a letterman from last year, was selected as captain. He directed the team's activities from his position as guard as it played its lirst game of the season against South High School, at Salt Lake City. The Badgers, many of whom were playing their lirst game of football, showed up favorably against the experienced and larger Salt Lake team but were defeated 6-C. Two weeks later the Snow team played its lirst conference game of the season at St. George, where the Dixie Fliers, who tied with Albion lor the conference championship, gave them a 25-7 set-back. The Badgers, although outplayed by the more experienced southern team, were not outfought, not letting up until the final whistle stopped the game. Manager !-cc Anderson assembles the players. THE SULfAU Those who played on the line lor Snow, besides Captain Goodwin, were Jack Howarth and Rex Christensen, centers; Chad Howes, Bronzell Picket:, Mont Rasmussen. Ole Maxfield, guards; Hebor Hall, Jack Anderson. Wesley Peterson. Ernest Thomas, Ben Wilson, tackles; Ross Park. Shirley Madsen, Ruben Morrell. Gone Peterson, ends; Billie Washburn, Leon Holman, quarterbacks; Larry Hannon. William Hansen, Bill Fairbanks, Jay Bishop, Carl Wilson, halfbacks; Jack Howarth. Alma Garrett, Verl Sudweeks, Garth Belliston, iullbacks. Snow took a 47-6 beating from B.A.C. at Cedar City. It then played its first home game, against the Carbon Eagles, who with several former all-state high school performers on their squad outscored the Badger eleven, 31-0. On Founders' Day, November 8. Snow lined up against the highly rated Westminster squad. The Badgers battled the Parsons on nearly even terms throughout. The Salt Lake team managed, however, to pull through with a 12-7 victory, to end up the season for the Snow football players. A comparison of team scores at the beginning of the League schedule and at the closing shows that the Badgers made great improvement in the mastery of the game, being one of the strongest teams as the season closed. 47 As the track season rolled around, Coach Don Simmons was confronted with the task of building an almost entirely new squad, losing all but two of last year s participants. Robert Erickson, Junior College conference record holder in the javelin, returned and broke the record for the B. Y. U. Invitational meet, appearing certain to crack his own conference mark. Gail Voorhees, a high jumper, turned in regular points in the high jump, placing second at the Invitational affair. In the track events, Wesley Peterson, all-round athlete from Gunnison, pulled in many points in the dashes and placed in the javelin. Chad Howes, Doyle Maxfield, Ole Maxfield, and Ernest Thomas were all fast dash-men. Kirk Larsen and Alma Garrett entered in the broad jump. Garrett also tossed the javelin; Earl Tuttle took part in the shot-put. Others to participate in the field and track events were Keith Madsen. Edward Cox, Hebcr Hall, Garth Bclliston, and Carl Wilson. Jack Rasmussen and Clark Thompson were strong in the sprints for the Lower Division. Evan Olsen captured the mile event at the Snow Senior Day meet in extremely fast time. LeDalc Bailey entered the weights. Don Larson, Kenneth Sevy. Calvin Thomson, Philip Anderson, and Roger Allred, were also contestants. UPPER DIVISION TEAM Coach Simmons. Earl Tuttle. Keith Madsen, Oie Maxfield. Gaii Vorhees, Edward Cox. Aima Garrett.

Opening the season with three lettermen. it didn't take long lor the Snow netters to get in shape lor the lirst competitive meet. Maynard Bailey, playing his first year lor Snow, took over the singles assignment; Price Allred and Dean Hinckley, lettermen. paired in doubles. At the B. Y. U. Invitational meet on April 26, Snow successfully delended the doubles crown won the two preceding years; Bailey nearly captured the singles title, losing to the ultimate winner in a close second-round match. Leo R. Thompson and Bryce Hinckley teamed up to lorm a doubles combination which was almost on a par with the other group and came in lor a share of the playing during the season. Rex Christensen was also active. In the Lower Division. Gordon Anderson. Philip Anderson, David Rasmussen, and Ferd Hansen, a group of freshmen, comprised the squad. Gordon Anderson placed second in singles at the Snow Senior Day competition, went to the semi-finals in the B. Y. U. meet, and captured the Region Four singles to qualify for the state high school tournament. Philip Anderson and David Rasmussen played at doubles. Arlo Bertelson and Donald Benson wore alternates.

They include both indoor and outdoor sports, such as tennis, volley-ball, badminton, archery, basket-bali, and soft-ball. The entire program is intended to foster health and physical grace. These sports are available for all girls who wish to participate. They are sponsored by the physical education classes under the direction of Miss Hanson and the Girls' Athletic Club. This year the club is under the direction of Kathleen Paulsen, president; Fannie Johnson, vice president; Melva Young, secretary; Marie Svedin, activity agent. Tjfae c tri$ Music, art, drama, design, color in lights and pigments—all these are forms cf the diverse artistic specializations which add refinement to the American way of life. They culivate appreciation for the beautiful and nurture skills in the expression of it. The arts bring fuller living to performers and spectators. Special occasions and everyday make demands upon the varied phases of aesthetic expression.

Gwendolyn Briggs There is to be a spring dance; the co-eds arc all expectant; the men are indiflerent. Then the scheming begins. In sparkling dialogue and amusing situations, one phase o! college lile- perhaps of lile everywhere— is frankly revealed. Finally the dreams of the Sams and Lippincotts about exploration and adventure are displaced by the more immediate romance and dance. Effective new scenery added to the artistic tone of the production, one of the major activities of the year. Moments in the Spring Dance. A cruciai momcni in 'The Ciod. ’ The Clod, a one-act play depicting lite of the tenant farmer of the South during the Civil War, was the entry of the Lower Division in the Southern Utah Speech Meet at Richfield.

During this time a large group of students experienced tournament participation; still others, activities on the campus. Several were unable to participate a sufficient number of times to letter. Most of the participants were new in the various phases of activities, thereby bringing to the coaches the problem of inexperienced teams. Manager Ernest Poulson left with the Guard, as did several of the team members. During the year the Upper Division, coached by Fern Young and Helen Nelson, attended the Phi Rho Pi meet at Price, the Invitation Meet of Los Angeles Junior College, end the Utah-Idaho tournament in Logan. In addition there wore campus contests. Honors were taken by Kent Christensen, Helen Bailey, and Frank Peacock in the Price meet. In the others, contestants went into the finals but did not score places. In January, a non-decision Invitational Speech Meet was held for high school students, under the direction of Helen A. Nelson. The events were panel, extempore speaking, debate, oratory, and reading. Representatives from the Lower Division participated in the various activities. The meet was attended by eight schools. At the Speech Touranmcnt sponsored by Richfieid High School. Snow placed second. Some events were not entered, thereby reducing participation points. The contestants all rated in the Excellent or Superior bracket. Several activities, as the American Legion contest and Mrs. J. W. Humphrey essay, were managed by the forensic committee.

Drifting on the ground; Covering trees, and house tops, A blanket all around. Moonbeams shining, shining. Glittering on the snow; Sparkling many colors Giving Nature all her glow. — Rae Anderson. INTIMIDATION Have you ever felt That it could not be? Have you ever felt There was beauty You could not see? Have you ever wished That she were you, And you wore she? Have you ever wished And wished all day That you were not here. But far away? Have you over wished That day would end That night would fall, And never end? —R. A.

Or better— Shall I cunning be. and wait? Night comes. And covers evil’s doings. I go! My Rubicon is crossed. What noise? Am I so soon discovered? The sirens— My judgment day is near. The wall, Across which lies my hopes of freedom, A shot! My nemisis lurks close— Why run? The hunters wings are faster. I die— But in death will I escape them. What irony. Death checkmates righteous action. I killed! And paid not for my crime. But why? Are morals so misjudged? In death— Perchance. I’ll find out soon enough. — Evan Borrowmen.

FOUNDERS RAY Snow College annually celebrates its founding the first Friday in November, its birthday being November 5, 1888. This school, which is one of the oldest in the state, was founded upon the belief that education is part of the democratic way of life. Each phase of growth has sought to safeguard this principle. This year a king and queen of honor were chosen by the student body to preside over the day: Miss Ardath Ellis of Spring City and Lee R. Thompson of Sterling. Patrons, alumni, and members of the school participated in a parade, program and sports activities. Governor Herbert B.

The major event this year was the presentation on a throne o( snow, of the Carnival Queen, Carol Anderson, chosen by the men students. Carol proved to be a worhty ruler by entering in the skiing and the games that were played. The snow had freshly fallen; and although it made sledding a little tough, it softened the bumps of the novice skiiers. The ski jumping contest was exciting for all, both the participants and the spectators.

Often in college functions, respect for tradition combines with fraternity. Sometimes, national ideals are vitalized; sometimes, campus traditions. The spirit of Thanksgiving and Christmas, as that of other natal days, motivates activities in song, dance, and speech. Annually the building takes on festive appearance for the Yulotide, bringing to all a delight from the symbolic, artistic touch. Around the school emblem is woven over a half century of Tradition in values that endure. Annually the giant S on the hillside is renewed and reinterpreted. Matinee dances, assembly programs, class and club functions also add jovial flavor to college days—friendly days. The fl.W.S. officers prepare the Yulotide touch.

From registration day until Commencement, there have been varied experiences—some routine, others spectacular. The bus rides, the moving into the new batching abodes , flat meals, friendly chats fostered friendship. In the laboratory, classroom, and study hours, vistas of learning have invited understanding and the setting of new objectives in living. A matinee dance was the social ice breaker. Soon the organization of clubs and classes established group bonds. When the campus sports began, everyone became either c member of the team or of the cheering section. Many committees were needed to organize the activity calendar for classes, clubs, and college. Each meant a new combination of workers, an experience in fraternity. 79 Let's have pep . . .

In addition there have been the activities fostered by the departments: Music, drama, speech, sports. In all these, the hours of preparation were probably more enriching, more fraught with memories, than were the moments of presentation. Campus publications, assembly and exchange programs, have been additional opportunities for sharing talents through service.

In the progressive American way of life, there must always be a constructing of improved patterns of living through a testing of the old and a visualizing of the new. To discover all things would be too expensive and wasteful: some things must be taken for granted, as racial standards. However, each generation must seek to know, to create. More conveniences for living and greater security lor life must come from the science laboratories; better organization of individual and group activities is the concern of business and social sciences. LuRac presses as Virginia fits her mannish jacket and Marguerite sows. Ciista, Melva. Thora, and Maxcine prepare for the noon rush. Morris, Miriam.

In the diversified American way, there is a need for people possessing varied constructive skill. Some may be statesmen, some artisans; some may serve in the home or office. All contribute to the great enterprise of living. In every station of life, there is the opportunity to discover how to do the work better than it has ever been done before. The acquisition of these skills is furthered by education—a short cut to racial experience, a leading into newer fields. Education for democracy involves specializations in skills and interests, yet there must be a common culture. This culture, says Bertrand Russel, is not obtained merely by knowing facts. It is obtained in different ways by different people. Some may get it from music or poetry or drama or nature. It may be a hobby which improves skills and broadens interests.

To live this moment lully, constructively always aware that it can never return or that it cannot be lost—is a potent challenge. This year at Snow has changed each ot us so thai we are differ-ent members ol the social whole, dillerent even to oursleves. The nature of that change depends upon whqt use we have made of the Present in which we utilized the Past to build for the Future. Tomorrow as it becomes Today will bring new problems, both individual and social. Just how we meet them wiil determine the richness or poverty of our lives, individually and collectively. EN VOYAGE there will be rough storms, sunny days. With courage and faith, both must be met. It is the wish of the Snowonian chroniclers that growth and achievement may characterize the journey. —The Editor. American Citizenship — Its Advantages and Obligations VERNA ANDERSON—First Place, Humphrey Essay Contest Have you ever stopped to consider what c: citizen of the United States enjoys, and what responsibilities that citizenship involves? First of all. let us look at the advantages offered to American citizens. They are many. Nowhere else is individualism stressed as much as it is here in the United States. For example, the individual has diverse social advantages under a democracy. He may seek the kind of entertainment he desires: parties, dances, movies, ball games, or anything he chooses. The type of amusement he may indulge in is not dictated. Hero in America freedom of worship is stressed a great deal more than in the countries having dictators. In fact, in some countries, such as Russia,, people do not have freedom of worship, freedom to find a spiritual life in their own way. Under our democracy, the individual has more occupational opportunities than under regimented government. He is free to choose. Generally speaking, he gets the job only through his ability and initiative. Democracy, far more thpn any other form of government, frees every individual to do the thing for which he is best fitted. The whole of a democratic society benefits because in it each individual may do his best. The progress we make is due to the work of the individuals. The democratic form of government offers ’he individual educational advantages not found in other countries. Every child has the opportunity of elementary and high school education with little cost to him. Through such aids as theNYA, college is not impossible. The student may choose the subjects that appeal most to him, and that will help him to succeed in life. Only the democratic form of government offers the individual the advantages of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. In countries under dictators, the people are almost told what to think and what to say. It is doubtful if we Americans fully appreciae the rights we exercise. According to the Youth of Today for December, only fifty-three cents a year of our taxes goes to pay for our liberty. Isn't that a small amount to safeguard such a priceless inheritance? The American Government has done and is doing many practical services for its citizens. Weather reports, research, water projects, and the FBI are all to help the people. There is a constant effort on the part of our government to improve the welfare of its citizens. Now, lot us consider some of our responsibilities. No epuntry offers more to its people, or in return expects so. much of its people. They are the country. In the privilege of the ballot, a democracy places responsibility on its citizens. We are expected to state how we want our government run and by whom. If we want someone to be elected, our government expects us to say so by voting for him. Our government expects us to be intelligently critical, to bo aware of our country's problems and traditions. Every person in America is largely responsible for his own enterprise and achievement. The government does all in its power to help its citizens, but it expects the individual to do his part. In the end, it is up to him to see that he achieves what he sets out to do. In view of the many advantages America offers, our government does not expect too much of its citizens, but today as always, we have two types of people—selfish and unselfish: those who receive but never give, and those who receive but always give. Perhaps we can compare them to the Dead Sea and the River Jordan of which we read in the Bible. The Dead Sea is given water, but it keeps all the water it receives, and will give none away. As a result, it and its surroundings are just as its name— dead. On the other hand, the River Jordan gives as well as receives. We can be like either of them, whichever we may choose. If we are like the Dead Sea. we accept the advantages democracy offers, but not the responsibilities. If, however, we are like the River Jordon, we accept the advantages and are thankful for them. We also accept the responsibilities and obligations. Which are we like—the Dead Soa or the River Jordan? The people like the latter are the ones who help to make America the best country. Let's accept the advantages America offers, but at the.same time let us also accept the responsibilities and obligations and in his way keep our America receptive, life-giving, dynamic. cA Tji'ibute At school The books we read The truths revealed The thoughts expressed Are privileges of the American Way. At home Love, consideration, loyalty, Confidence, respect for personality, Faith, courage, reliability Are all gifts of the American Way. At work We have faith in the assurance That creative power behind a worthy goal Brings pride of accomplishment— A promise of the American Way. At play We find a joy within the words Land of the free, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — Freedom is the American Way. Today When strife and conflict rage, We pay tribute to this land of ours And are proud that we can be Guardians of the American Way. —M. Young Education in a dynamic society is a lifelong process. It must always contribute to individual and social excellence and security.
