SNOWONIAN Published by STUDENT BODY OF SNOW COLLEGE Vo!. 27, 1947-1948 Siielhon Schofield, Editor Sixty years of founding and growth! It was November 5, 1888, that Sanpete Stake Academy was organized in the upstairs amusement hall of the Old Co-op Building, now Ephraim Boiler Mills. It was a rustic setting with meager equipment; members of the student body varied in age from eleven to thirty-two. But the Founders had dreams and hopes; they had the stamina to accept the problems of an infant institution and to work toward its expansion. That Institution has grown; it has changed its home from one place to another to satisfy expanding needs. March 2, 1899, the stakes marking the outline for the present administration building were driven; the dedication occured November 5, 1909. The students who contributed the first forty-five dollars toward the Noyes Building were seeing their dream fufilled. The Institution has changed its name from Sanpete Stake Academy to Snow Academy honoring President Lorenzo Snow to Snow College. It has changed its guardian from the Latter-day Saints Church to the State of Utah. We offer this Annual as an appreciation for those progressive people who dreamed a dream, who through the years of struggle furthered that dream to build the Snow College of today, for those people who will yet further its expansion into the greater Snow College of tomorrow. The Founders during the Past persisted through hazardous years to establish the benefits we enjoy as Founders of Today. Upon that foundation, we have added our bit by perpetuating the living traditions of yesteryear and by accepting, as did our forebearers, the challenge of building a life in terms of present-day demands. The work of founding a living institution is never completed, and each founder is a torch-l caror who hands the torch to his successor, hoping that the light will bum yet brighter as it is carried forward. 4 In 1913 the Founders dedicated the OLD GYMNASIUM, financed largely by contributions, to the physical development and good times of the students. It has served its purpose well. Soon it is to be converted into a much needed science building. Progress 1 c m a n d s e x p a n s i o n. This is symbolized in the NEW GYMNASIUM, dedicated this year. Already this building has l een the setting for numerous athletic events, for varied recreational and social activities, and for such cul tural experiences as opera, symphony, and band concerts. 5 Students take time out from classes to enjoy the shade of trees planted, perchance, April 23, 1902, bv the Normal Graduating Class “as a token of their good feelings toward their Alma Mater” or on April 15, 1903 by the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade pupils ... In the DORMITORY, jgirls from everywhere meet to enjoy long hours of friendliness, to have little spats, and to form life-long friendships. 6 In the VOCATIONAL ARTS BUILDING, students spend many hours preparing themselves for the future. Old cars take on new usefulness; rough lumlier becomes finished furniture; blueprints for future structures are drawn; plastic takes varied shapes. The all-important CAFETERIA, a 1947 addition, is a popular meeting place three times daily, not to mention the in-between-meal snacks. 7 President James A. Nuttall This Yearbook is a record of the events of the sixtieth year of Snow College—sixty years of service from students, faculty, library, laboratory, class room, etc. Every year each of these factors —all of which collectively make the school—has left impressions upon those students and faculty members who were here to partake of the influences of one another. This year has been no exception. It has now passed into history, its record is written in this book, in the school paper, in the recorded grades, and in the minds, the ideals, and the personalities of each of us. Those of us who have entered into the activities and class work with vigor and enthusiasm have gained much; all have profited by the year’s experiences in direct ratio to their participation. 1 am sure the year is recorded as a year full of activity, full of opportunity, and a year of friendliness and co-operation. The leadership of the student body officers has been outstanding. Each officer lias assumed the responsibility of his office with a determination to succeed. The student body has supported them; and the result has been a year filled with opportunity, a year of friendship, and a year of achievement. The sixtieth year of Snow College, I am sure, takes its place among the years that have passed as one of the best of those years. May this yearbook keep alive the friendships which have been made, and ever bring back fond memories and pleasant reflection, and may the year ever be remembered as a rich and worthwhile experience in the lives of each of us, is my sincere wish. —James A.

Crane Speech, English WHO FOUNDED SNOW COLLEGE— Excerpts from Foundkks Day Address hij Bruce Jennings “It appears that this academy was named in honor of Apostle Lorenzo Snow. 1’resident Knute Peterson and other prominent churchmen Were active in its behalf. The main building was financed to a considerable extent by the countless small and even anonymous gifts of very poor and very earnest people who believed in schools and in education and in the doctrine that men cannot be saved in ignorance . . . “I should like to suggest that an understanding of the Puritan—his feet firmly set upon Plymouth’s granite soil; his thinking as lofty as the lonely stars, is necessary to an understanding of Snow College— its yesterday, its today, its tomorrow; the underlying earnestness that pervades it; the quiet humility and integrity of its teachers; the essential seriousness and purposefulness of its students . . . “I like to think that the little old Danish grandmother who lived tip the street and whose contribution to the building fund was a dozen eggs or a pock of potatoes, was one of the founders of Snow College . . . I like to think that the unpretentious teacher whose contributions of understanding and often even of money, over the years, have enabled more than one boy and girl to continue on in this school—I like to think that she too is a founder of Snow College. “I like to think that the plain and shabby girl, whose cracked brown oxford and weary old blue serge were her college wardrobe—and whose books have since delighted a hundred thousand children—I like to think that she, t x , is one of the founders of Snow College. “In fact, it has occurred to me that this business of founding ... is rather a process by which all the men and women who have been or yet will join together in association in this school somehow create anew. As each partakes of the spirit which he discovers here, so each enlarges and enriches in some degree that spirit. Out of the thread that binds us to the past we weave the fabric of the present, and Snow College now lies in our hands; its present heirs, its present founders . . .” P. C. Peterson of the Class of '88, presided as toastmaster of the annual banquet, held in the recently acquired dining hall. Sixty Years of Building was the theme to which Rulon Peterson and Verda Mae Schultz spoke. 12 Some members of the Class of '88 snapped at the close of the Founders Day Program. Front row: Jennie Johnson, Marie Willardson, Sarah Jensen, Fannie Thompson. Back row: Andrew Hanson, Daniel K. Rasmussen, P. C. Peterson. Much credit for the success of this institution is due, I tin sure, to the character of men and women, the boys and girls, who made itf the membership of the original Class of 1888-1889. They came with a singleness of purpose, an earnest ambition to reach the desired goal. Great credit for the success of this institution is likewise due to those who have watched over it with vision, fostered it when adverse winds blew over it and at all times pushed it into the front ranks and maintained the ideals which were the foundation stones on which the institution was founded. —Carrie IIenkie Payne in an address given on the Forty-third Founders Day. Enid Pritchett, Founders Day Queen; and Roland Adams, Founders Day King, were honored at the annual torch-light rally, as the S was being lighted on the hillside. Bruce Jennings, of the class of '28, delivers the address of the day, in the West Ward Chapel, the place where many such programs have been held. 13 =1 i� Tk ,grtur cA v iv, - =« rs-nmra nr it Ktjt-. 4e FIRST AttWHK Fj� t� -138W CAUCTIOAR, AVfT5 «tt' � V -AA VS� VamVNL -.VAA ■ k « u..

When the school was established, there were two departments, the Preparatory and Intermediate. They would correspond roughly to what is now junior high school. Within this organization there was a women's department, Carrie Iienrie being the teacher. Academic subjects, not the years in school, seemed to have been the basis for promotion. The early journals have frequent entries about awarding certificates of graduation from Physiology, Rhetoric, Geography, Dress Making, Carpentry, Business, and like subjects. A representative entry in the “Excelsior Star” reads: The class in Physio-logy—Martin’s Human Body—has finished the book and has no more to worry about regarding the examination in this study. Last Saturday told the tale, at least the students in this class met at the Academy and told what they knew.” The students of the first year ranged in age from eleven to thirty-two. The larger classes were held in the body of the amusement hall and the smaller ones on the stage. There were few textbooks. The students took notes during lectures from which they prepared their lessons and made diagrams before examinations. The diagrams were sheets of fools-cap paper pasted together upon which was represented weeks and weeks of work or the contents of a whole book. The first time the school boasted of four years of high school was in 1898, when the Institution was ten years old. It seems that the first college work to be added to the curriculum was a normal class in 1912, known as a fifth year normal course. Another was added in 1916. At this point in the history there were three year courses in Carpcn-try, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, and Music, and in addition four years of Commerce. In 1928 all high school work was discontinued and the school became an accredited junior college. In that year there were seven graduated from the college division. For a number of years the college classes were known as Freshmen and Sophomores. During that time frequent outbursts of rivalry were common, including Hag rushes on the Hag pole and the tops of the buildings. With the return of the senior high school classes to the campus in 1987, a four year junior college was organized. Then began the present division of classes. Departments on a college level were initiated in 1928; and associate certificates of graduation have been awarded since that time. 15 BETTY LOU ALLRED, President The Freshman class came to Snow with eyes and cars wide open, eager to learn. Its members have participated in numerous school activities. The Freshman class has accepted the standards and traditions of Snow which have been introduced to them by their fellow students. The members of this new class will go forth with the attitude of enriching their lives during their stay at Snow. 16 MARIYLN THORPE, Vies President RAY MIKKELSON, Secretory CAROL YOUNG, Activity Agent Styles arc continually changing.

These students are looking forward eagerly, but reluctantly, to High School Graduation in May, when they will inevitably be separated. The Sophomores have been a vitalizing force this year at Snow.

Its members came from several surrounding counties, and represent different states. They came with an eagerness to learn and to meet new friends. The Junior Prom in February was a success, a pleasing tribute to every member of the Junior class. Snow has found much spirit in the Junior class this year. Its members have always shown anticipation and eagerness to participate in activities. They have been led by a group of able officers throughout the school year. 24 NEDRA DENISON, Vice President Sterling, Utah ANITA HUMPHREY, Secretary Orangeville, Utah MAC ISBELL, Activity Agent Ephraim, Utah Good sportsmanship prevailed on Initiation Pat .

Today they are a part of Snow; tomorrow, and always, they will he a part of Snows traditions. The guidance they have received from the faculty is greatly appreciated. To the students who will replace them, the Seniors say, Enjoy Snow as much as we have, hold dear her standards and achievements, carry on her traditions. With humility and a desire to achieve, the Seniors go forth to seek places in the World of Tomorrow. 32 LUANA OCKEY, Vice President VEROA MAE SCHULTZ, Secretary RODNEY GRAHAM, Activity Agent Melvona Sorenson Ephraim.

Idaho 37 ny;% In speaking of activities, it seems that before the turn of the century, and for some years after, the major activity at Snow College was the building of a place in which to dwell. During the first years, the boys and girls “did their gym work” by taking turns performing the janitorial services of sweeping and dusting. There were two stoves for which wood had to be cut and cedar bark prepared as kindling. The students and faculty constructed the east wing of the Academy’s second home, known as the North Ward Chapel. The work of campus beautification was a planned activity. Walks were laid; lawns planted; clay courts made for recreation areas; and trenches dug for the water system. Benefit activities, such as musicales, were held frequently to raise funds to buy a piano or other needed equipment. Other activities included gatherings of the Polysophical Society at which lectures, readings and music were featured. Faith-promoting assemblies were held ever)' Wednesday. Dances were held in the school room, and each time the carpenter was calk’d in to plane the knots from the floor. Then a liberal amount of beeswax was cut and scattered about. In addition to the regular square dances, two waltzes were permitted during the evening, (dosing time was eleven o’clock. Refreshments brought in baskets from home were served at intermission. Two regulations governed the dances: “ young people not attending school must receive special permission to attend the dances; students may not attend other dances without a permit.” Ball games were played on a clay court about where the flag pole now is. After the building of the gym, sports became competitive with other towns in the area. The athletes traveled in canvas-covered buggies and had only the problems of weather and mud holes. A contest of interest occured in May of 1903. President Noyes announced to the graduating class that he desired the members to plant a garden. Boys and girls were to do their own tending.” There were fifteen radish patches, and President Noyes won the honors. Members of the ('lass of ’02 recall vividly that their request for the privilege to give a yell at the games and in the Founders Day parade was denied. The school play was first staged in 1910-11, thus initiating a tradition. THE BEGGARS OPERA, in 1911, is the first one on record. During the twenties, the number of varied activities began to multiply. The sixtieth year offers many diversified extra-curricular opportunities for the development of each and every student who chooses to participate. FOOTBALL Snows football team on the eve of the College’s 60th year took to the field and upheld well the school’s standards. The team held high Snow’s ideals, not by piling up a large total in scoring, but in fine sportsmen-ship and clean hard playing. Their aggressiveness and drive gained for the vaunted-eleven respect by all they met in competition and merited them the right to wear the colors they represented.

In a crowded gymnasium, Snow Ians saw their team defeat all opposition on the home floor. Snow bowed once to defeat, however, during league play by losing to B.A.C. on B.A.C s floor. Snow ended an impressive season with a championship trophy. Snow went from league to the Western-State Tournament at Compton, California; where by one point they lost Consolation Position, thus ending the season. 43 Chesley Wintch Guard Earl Ericken Center Keith Squire Center Glen Vaughn Guard Dan Williams Forward DeVon Allred Forward Meade Squire jumps with a Carbon Eagle.

I 52 DEDICATED Before the Carbon-Snow league game January 23, 1948, a crowd gathered to participate in the dedication services for the new gymnasium. That night marked the completion of another step forward in the development of the Institution. Some of the outstanding people present were Governor Herbert B. Maw, Secretary of State Bennion, Superintendent E. Allen Bateman, Representative Christensen and Senator Lund. President William G. Barton offered the dedicatory prayer. Tuesday, September 9, 1941, Mark Nichols of the State Board of Education wielded the shovel in the breaking of the ground for the new gym. The late President Newton B. Noyes dedicated the ground. The progress of the building was interrupted during the years of the war. Governor Maw delivered the dedicatory address. 53 L.D.S. inSTITUTE The Latter-day Saints Institute and Seminary is found not far from the campus. There thoughts are turned from the usual program of study to the spiritual. In the beautiful surroundings of this building, students find additional elements of a well-rounded personality as they study sources of ethical life and current religious thinking. Alvah H. Fitzgerald, Director of the Institute. Leonard K. Judkins, Director of the Seminary. 54 Initiation Week — One day wasn't enough! Horror of horrors for the Freshies and Juniors, condemned to parade the impish imagination of upper-classmen. How confusing! Boys dress as girls and girls dress as boys on that climactic day, Friday. In the assembly-court, offenders of the erratic rules ore meted punishment designed to ruin the digestive system —pepper, garlic, mustard, vinegar, straight or blended. inuiATion WEEK 55 Maple Canyon with its precipitous walls, rugged fissures, winding trails, and varied autumn hues lures the student body to its first major activity of the year. Cameras replace books; and busses and cars transport the nature lovers to the great amphitheatre. The Natural Bridge or Box Canyon may mark the end of the trail. After a steep hike to the top of Lions Head a rest behind the rail is in order. From this point may be viewed a panorama of peaks and a field-checkered valley. Along the trails and around the campfire fun, foolishness, and fellowship prevail. Romantic recollections remain long after the embers have cooled. mnPLE cnnvon onv 56 The Yuletide season -Christmas trees, pine boughs, bells, icicles, wreaths, mistletoe, and Santa Claus! Classes transform halls, doors and windows into a festive wonderland. Student officers bedeck the tall tree in mid-hall with tinsel and lights. CHRisimns Tall candles gleam before Residence Hall. The co-eds present in song and dance one of the outstanding programs of the year. Roland plays Santa. Everyone eats candy and nuts, dances, and goes home in a gay mood. During the Christmas season—as at all times— the l.D.S. Institute opens its doors as a social center for student groups. 57 This year the AMS Club sponsored a Snow Carnival. These girls express the enjoyment of the entire student body. Skis arc put on with ihc eager anticipation of the day's fun. “SIIOUI” CARMURL Nedra Denison, the Snow Queen, was crowned by Don Williams, president of AMS. This is a portrait of a thrill only a skier can appreciate. The annual DAY OF COMMUNITY LIVING was held February 20. The day's activities included a general session and departmental sections. The guest visitors were Dr. C. J. Hart from Brigham Young University, Miss Vermillion from U.S.A.C., Miss Johnson from U.S.A.C., Miss Schofield, director of recreation, Provo, and Dr. Farnsworth from Brigham Young University. Major interests were scouting, clothing, recreation, and foods. The highlight of the afternoon was the fashion-show presented by the Clothing Department. The Art Department and Handicraft Classes displayed work. 59 snoujonmn The editorial staff: Lamar Stewart Camille Thompson Sheldon Schofield Verda Mae Schultz LaWanna Sorensen Mr. Crane, adviser The first yearbook, 'The Retainer, was published in 1914 by the Senior Class. It contained pictures of the school membership and of some of the school activities. It was bound in heavy-weight paper and tied with a gold cord. It is not known if there were more than one number under this title. The SNOWONIAN was first published in 1920-1921. Except for the year 1931-1932, it has been continued as an independent annual volume. In that year, because of difficulties of publication, it was absorbed in a special issue of the Snowdrift. Sheldon Schofield has edited this volume. The photography staff: Jay Gunderson Byron Gassman Mr. Gurney The business staff: Sherril Anderson Russell Aiken Sheldon Jones 60 SnOUJDRIFT The editor of the SNOWDRIFT this year has been Boyd Brady. The first school paper, The Excelsior Star, went to press February 18, 1898, under the sponsorship of the Intermediate and Preparatory Departments, and of the first and second year Normal Departments. It was to have been published monthly, but how many issues were printed is not known. About 1910 there was a news sheet known as Snow News. The first volume of the SNOWDRIFT was published in 1923-24; Roscoe Cox editor. The paper has had a large and active staff this year.

Associated Women and their officers welcomed students to the campus registration day in Scpt nilx r and have perpetuated tliat same friendly attitude. As their project, they re-furnished and re-decorated the ladies lounge. The autumn havride, the Valentine Tea for patrons, and the Spring Festival have been high-lighted activities. A.W.S. officers, AArs. Tippetts, and members of special committees greeted guests as they arrived at the annual Valentino Tea. A heart-shaped motif centered the tea table, from which dainty refreshments were served. Don Williams, president; Sherril Anderson, secretary; Mr. Stutz, adviser; Leo Ericksen, activity agent; Gail Stott, vice president. Associated Men Students have functioned as hosts in the school and have fostered feature activities, particularly the traditional Snow Carnival at Bluebell Flat and the annual beard-growing contest. They have furthered a friendly collegiate spirit and have cooperated in numerous incidental activities. The A.M.S. assembly was a mock radio program that brought forth much laughter from the audience. Some grow it dark. Some grow it red. Some grow it thick. Some grow it thin— That hair on the chinny-chin-chin. 63 GLAMMA PEPPER, a now-comer among campus organizations, has as its membership the co-eds of Residence Hall. Its officers are Glenna Childs, president; Luana Ockey, vice president; Erma Tew, secretary; Mrs. Poulson, adviser. The aim of the organization is fun, frolic, and fellows. ORGnnizflTion The history of clubs at Snow College is one of change, and little is known of some of the early organizations. In LS92, the Student Society was formed to increase the interest in lectures, play production, and reading. In 1895 the Field Club was organized for all students interested in hikes “and the collection of specimens on these hikes.' The Commercial Department effected a business society in 1895. The Alumni Association, in May, 1896, began with thirty-three members to promote the general welfare of the graduates.” A club for women, one of the very first, has persisted under various names. The Womens Society, Girls Club, and Arnica were predecessors of the AAV.S. In the early twenties, clubs l ecaine very popular. Some of tin organizations of that period and later have since disappeared: Debating Club, Snow Science, Snow Boosters, Theta Epsilon Omega or Parsons, Castle Valley or Dinosaur, Western Utah, ('loggers. Present clubs which have the longest history are Severians, 1924; S Club, 1924; Scribblers, 1926; Sigma Delta Chi, 1927. The Snow College Student Body, as far as records reveal, was organized under a constitution on January 31, 1908. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA, newly organized, is an affiliate of the American Education Association. The officers are Bryce Draper, president; Glen Oldroyd, vice president; Arial Anderson, treasurer-librarian; Mr. Lindsay, sponsor. The organization has as its project the study of standards in higher education institutions in the state. 64 SIGMA DELTA CHI assisted in the presentation of dramtic productions. Leadership included Russell Mendenhall, president; Norma Anderson, vice president; Jean Livingston, secretary; Kyle Gleave, activity agent; James Aston, business manager; Lucile Brown, reporter; Mr. Crane, adviser. Mid-year, Norma Anderson was named to the presidency and Shirley Rees to the vice presidency. SIGMA ELTA DELTA, a drama organization for the Lower Division students, was organized for the first time this year. It has as officers Con Brady, president; Carol Young, vice president; Carolyn Thomson, secretary; Myrtle Fitzgerald, treasurer; Audcy Cox, reporter; Glen Stubbs, activity agent; Mr. Crane, adviser. The club was instrumental in the purchase of the wire recorder for the Speech Department. Its members participated in the play and in high school speech meets. SCRIBBLERS, during the winter quarter, elected James Aston, president; Voniel Jensen, vice president; Wesley Peterson, secretary; Miss Phillips, adviser. The club has held a series of socials, and its member have been faithful contributors to school publications. 65 STRAGGLERS, the students from here, there, and everywhere, band together for fun and friendship. Its leadership includes Francis Anderson, president; Lester Tovey, vice president; Margaret McPherson, secretary; Janioce Sudwccks, activity agent; Miss Phillips, adviser. VETERANS ASSOCIATION is the largest social group on the campus, and has a most widely traveled membership. Officers are Mac Isbell, president; Virgil Decker, vice president; Wallace Reusch, secretary; Lester Tovey, publicity; Dr. Christensen, adviser. NO-SAN-SNO. The students from the north half of Sanpete County allied themselves into a social confederacy.

Leaders are Lester Tovey, president; Lamar Stewart, secretary; Mr. Stutz, adviser. S CLUB is composed of men who have won their block S by participation in athletics. They can bo identified by their snow-white S. Acting as a service organization, they ushered at games and raised money to help send the basketball team on trips. Officers are Bry Sorensen, president; Del-Mar Gardner, vice president; Charles Ned Rasmussen, secretary. PEPETTES, co-eds of the Lower Division, enthusiastically supported athletic events. Sounding out as cheerleaders are Annette Dean, Katie Reese, and VaLcnc Anderson. Official leadership includes Ruth Poulson, president; Joyce Olsen, secretary; Mrs. Peterson, adviser. 67 Students dance to the soft music of the Revelers The Lower Division chose Ruth Madsen and Jerry Christensen as Prom Lady and Prom Man. Since the two upper classes of high school have been added to the College student body, their Prom is listed among the major activities of the year. This year the Lower Division Prom was a success with dancing and decorations built around the theme, Moonlight Serenade. snow HIGH PROm 68 Anna Laura Mortenson, David Monson, Mary Marie Mellor, Royal Peterson, LaRue Johnson, Morris Brady, Shirley Rees and Hal Hatch lead the promenade. COLLEGE PROm In keeping with a tradition begun in 1904, the Class of '49 presented the Prom, February 13 14. It chose as a theme Serenade of the Bells. Dark blue dominated the color scheme with silver bells as art spots. Interest centered at the west end on a Spanish mission. The student body initiated the Prom, and the president and vice president led the promenade. Later when the Junior Class assumed sponsorship, its officers were featured. A recent change gives the honor to a prom lady and a prom man. This year honors went to Shirley Rees and Hal Hatch. 69 THE MILKY WAY THE MILKY WAY, a hilarious, pugilistic comedy, was presented by Sigma Delta Chi and the Play Production class and directed by Mr. Crane. Burleigh Sullivan (Kyle Gleave), a peaceful milkman, became middle-weight champion of the world by means of a series of fixed fights and a freak knockout. Gabby Sloan (Leo Ericksen), fight manager, considered Burleigh's possibilities as a fighter while Burleigh tried to hide his legs and regain both his composure and his milkman suit. Burleigh returned from his fight-tour with a love for the dogs which he exibited before Jean Livingston, Milton Sovy, Shirley Rees, Russell Mendenhall, and Richard Lunt. He was no longer a mild, meek milkman—he was now a triumphant fighter. WHAT A LIFE The cast of the Lower Division play, WHAT A LIFE, directed by Mr. Crane, successfully brought to the stage the trials and troubles of Henry Aldrich (Con Brady) in his newest scrapes involving the theft of the school band instruments, getting a date for the prom, reading the Bible for assembly, cheating in Roman history exam, obtaining enough money to go to the dance, etc. Faculty members were Joyce L. Story, Jim Hansen, Thelma Anderson, Gerald Nielson, Carol Young, John Gurney and Carol Poulson. Myrtle Fitzgerald, Betty Lou Allred. Patsy Morten-sen, Arliss Jensen, Con Brady, Carolyn Thomson and Newell Judkins took the roles of students of Central High. STATE OF THE ONION enabled the layman to catch a glimpse behind the scenes of power politics. In an election year, it was fittingly chosen as the school play. The plot revolved around Grant Matthews, a business executive who aspired to the Republican nomination for president. Enid Pritchett and Gail Stott as Grant and Mary Dixie McKinnon as lulubelle drew hilarious laugh Matthews, at a tense moment in the first act, discuss ter, as she and Mary Matthews drank Sazaracs steadi Grant's entrance into politics and the presidential race. ly, with her lines That gives me an idea and Jeff, fix me another Sazarac right away.

Others in the cast were Carolyn Nielson, Byron Gassman, Boyd Hansen, Roy Ostler, John Henry Nielson, and lucile Brown. Mr. Crane directed. 71 THE BUILDERS or I Lift My Eyes was written and presented in commemoration of the Utah Centennial year under the auspices of the combined departments of Snow College. It depicted the colonizing of Sanpete County by Mormon immigrants. Don Johansen, Vetois Nielson, Shirley Rees, and Leo Ericksen, as the principal characters, portrayed convert-immigrants from foreign soils, determined to build a life in a strange new world. Social evenings with dancing and singing renewed the hopes and ambitions of the pioneers during the long journey across the plains. The colonizers of Sanpete County gathered together for an evening of recreation during which they discussed the completion of the Temple and laid plans for the enlargement of educational facilities - the establishment of Snow College. The cast- Pioneers and Indians— assembled on stage for the grand finale. Speech students porticipoted in o diversity of activities.

Peppy tunes enlivened assemblies and games. On Founders Day, the band sponsored a concert preceding the annual program. On the eve of Founders Day, the student Body was assisted by the bond members in presenting the traditional pep rally. The glee members presented vorious numbers in assemblies, programs in other communities, the annuol Messioh, and the opera.

There they explore the marve'ous mysteries of the physical world. From the CHEMISTRY Deportment, billows many a queer odor that keeps the student body guessing. The members of the department know their fumes, for they study and know the elements and their properties. In the BUSINESS Department are found white-collor workers in the making. There students learn how to keep books, to operate office machines, to write business letters, and to interpret low. 80 The CARPENTRY Deportment resounds to the buzzing of sows ond the pounding of hommers. Here Mr. Carpenter teaches Students how to become artists in the use of wood. ?-C C V— tt, --w , The AUTOMOTIVE Deportment at-trocts many students. They take their cars oport, put them together again, apply o new coot of point—ond the cars look and run like new. In the BIOLOGICAL Deportment students find the answers to many perplexing questions about the won ders of nature. This year o new staff member joined the deportment. He was named Ossy (which is short for ossificotion) by the anatomy class. 81 The LIBRARY o ploce for studying ond digging deep into Encyclopedias and challenging books — is olso o ploce where new acquaintances ond friendships ore made. The SPEECH Deportment seeks to improve the power of communication. Recording is one aid toward voice improvement. The wire recorder—used several hours each day —has induced students to listen to themselves before expecting on audience. In the ENGLISH dosses, group discuss-'on of books ond of student compositions is o common practice. The students present public-service programs grow-ing out of their study. 82 In the ART Department students learn to express skillfully their imagination with water colors and oils. They study the principles of design and color thot they may sense beauty ond reproduce whot they see and feel. Amid the humming of machines and snipping of scissors, the girls of the SEWING DEPARTMENT practice what they leorn about the principles of design and color as they create for themselves a new wardrobe. In the CAFETERIA, Mrs. Poul-son ond her girls plan ond cook to give the students healthful, well-balanced meals. Their work runs in the same old cycle of cooking, eating, and dishwashing. 83 COLLEGE FflRm The College Form is locoted north of Ephroim and east of Highway 89. There students, who hove the expectation of becoming expert farmers, practice whot they ore taught in o classroom. Under the supervision of Floyd R. Young ond V. R. Mogleby, students moke the form self-supporting. A dairy herd, o sheep herd, o chicken flock, ond modern forming equipment help in the achievement of this goal. 84 The Upper Division cheer leoders spent on octive yeor leoding students in showing their school spirit ot boll gomes. Dick Broithwoite octed os official cheer leoder with Glodys Tuttle and Anno Louro Mortenson as his assistants. When Dick became sports reporter for the upstate papers, Leo Erickson took his place. An important port of the Lower Division ball games during the year were cheerleaders Kotie Reese, Annette Deon, ond VaLenc Anderson was absent when the picture was token.) SCHOOL LIFE Beat B. A.

Pictures show that “S’’s appeared on the uniforms of the. haschall and track suits ol the academx players. The block S” was officially adopted in 1914 It became a lad for schools to put their letters on the hillsides. Snow had the urge and bewail thinking ol erecting her monument in the early 1920‘s. In the Snow imn i of October 28. 1925. is found this pot in: AN “S I PON Til 15 IIIU. The rumors going round the scliool It's |Xissed from John to Phil. ' ) when will we get a block S” Placed upon the hill? I'p and spake a “Booster’ Who sat on a front most seat. We’ll back this S' movement Or we’ll |X rish at its feet. The sophomores lavor the idea. Say signs upon each face Action soon liegan. That vear the white and gold parties both put in the party planks that they were in favor of having a block S” on the hill. A committee, consisting of faculty members, students, and alumni, was appointed and began making plans and looking for a favorable spot for the long-awaited S.” Operations began about the third of May, 1920. The clearing and laying out of the “S” was finished In the night of Max 20, 1928. The first S' I a was declared the next day. All male memliers of the school participated. The outline of rock was made complete. It showed distinctly an “S” of 250 feet long and MX) feet wide. The filling in of the “S’ was not completed until the xear alter. President Milton II. kiltid-sen was in charge of the school those years. It is remembered that the Presides of 1928 got their heads together and planned for weeks on a scheme to light the “S’ the exe before Founders Day. They kc| t the event a secret. All the towns people met in the center of toxvn for a pep railv the exe before Founders Day, as is traditional. As darkness drew on, the signal was given from town, and the Presides started to flame the “S’ for the first time. It flared brightlv for all of the startled towns people to see. One resident xxas fined $25 for sending in a fire a la mi which was found to be false. The school decided the flaming of the S’ was a desirable tradition. The honor of flaming the “S” the eve before Founders Day xxas liestoxved upon the Senior Class. I.atcr the Student Body took oxer the flaming of the 'S.” Well send men to the hillside. The big letter to place. The first thing that the freshmen said. And thex spoke quite free; “We ll back this undertaking— As though for our countrv.’ () xx ho is it who’ll do this deed?

Students are strict that non-class members do not wear their color. Persons violating the law-of'-colors are soon separated Irom the misplaced articles. When the second World War came, the male membership of Snow had decreased so much that it became neecssarv for the girls to help white wash the S on S ' l)av. Giving the old student Ixxly officers a vote of thanks and introducing the new ones is another event of “S Day. Water fights in the pond usually end the S l)a activities. —Wiwn uKi) Oi.si.w from Scribbler Scrapbook. 89 Beords they could noi grow. The Happy Bachelors inspeci the New Look.

Utah 99 Thus another year has slipped into the past, and we the Founders of the present year have become the Founders of the past. We are proud of the small part we have played in the historv of Snow College and are grateful for the opportunities of fellowship and training that have been ours. Our activities have been numerous; some, spectacular; some too subtle for pen or picture. Our achievements have been praiseworthy; our defeats have been challenges. Together they have constituted our record. In our own way, we have sought to build our lives, incorporating into them the illustrious traditions of our Alma Mater. We have sought to perpetuate the traditions of Snow College and to do our bit in the building ol its personality and character. We leave to future Founders the challenging dreams of the past that the school will always expand to satisfy new needs and continue to perpetuate the traditions of the good life. Immediate concrete problems we hope future Founders will solve are the erection of a new dormitory, a new science building, and a new auditorium. These will proportionately enlarge the capacity for service to the students of the future, the citizens of tomorrow. Through the handclaps of common experience, we pledge ourselves to assist the Future Founders. As alumni, we shall continue in the role of living and enlarging that spirit that has made Snow College. Yet let us not prcteiul to be. too fearful for the oncoming; rush of the future or to regret too deeplp the shimmering vision of the past. Between the men and women of '8S, the founders of i esteri ear; and the bops and girls of -IS, the founders of todai . there looms the seeming chasm of sixtij pears. But this apparent gulf is spanned bp that stout bridge of common dreams, and ideals, and understandings which somehow unites us all and which we shall forever know as S.Y(AW'— Biiuok Jennings, bounders Dap Address. 100
