This is our college — “the foi friendship, quests, and deeds.

NUTT ALL President To guide us through the struggles of college life, we look for leadership which will help solve the numerous problems we may encounter. Such leadership should have a broad understanding of student interests, a deep concern for student welfare, and a determination to continually improve conditions within the school. In President Nuttall, we find such leadership. Always friendly, always willing to assist in any worthy undertaking, he has been the driving force behind the many campus and building improvements and has added much to the enjoyment of oui days spent at Snow College. acu mapie Benson BCCIICTAIIY TO PRESIDENT A.

Although confronted with many problems — operating under a reduced budget, planning student socials, arranging for assemblies and activities to provide maximum enjoyment to everyone concerned — the student body leaders of 1949-50 willingly accepted the duties of student government and successfully led the college through the struggles of the year. An outstanding achievement of the year was the Intermountain Junior College Goodwill Conference, directed by Snow College leaders. Among the accomplishments emerging from weekly council meetings was the adoption of a standard school sweater. —11— Carol Jeanne Madsen •CCRCTARV Glen Stubbs ritteiocNT Two years of friendship and struggles at Snow College arc climaxed with graduation; yet this is not the final chapter of our joys of Snow College — the power of memory will constantly bring us joy. Never to be forgotten arc such highlights as the Junior Prom, school plays, ball games, our many parties. Most lasting of all arc the friendships we make and the achievements which lead us to graduation and out into the world. —12— Helen Rasmussen FAIRVICW 1£010 gj: eniors Glen Stubos EPHRAIM Richard Harmer PAYSON Beverly Leavitt ANNAOCLLA Patsy Schofield SPRING CITY Arla Nielson MORONI S.

Along this path enter students searching for the finest things in life . eager to participate in the struggles of college curriculum. Registering in the Q oye Building begins the year’s struggles which are varied and many — sleeping through lectures, cramming for exams, learning to cook, sew, type, act, paint, and sing. Along this same path egress students who have completed one phase of that search — who have emerged from those struggles to seek higher goals of achievement. —47— L T ajgfwtMj: lliii The newly remodeled Science building greatly increased student interest and participation in the Sciences. Pouring over chemical formulas, searching for lost microbes, or testing Newton’s law of gravitation claimed many long hours of the young scientists. To many, this became the dominant struggle of college life. 1— Collide students thrive on activity; and the spacious new gymnasium at Snow is the center of sncSi activity. Here displacers of basketball skill, determined pugilists, hopeful dancers, and badminton aspirants were participants of the physical education program. These struggles provided a year-round calendar of activity, encouraged fellowship of competition and recreation, and cultivated health, poise, and physical perfection. r Life in a College Dorm is a struggle which can be understood only by one who has actually experienced it. Noise and confusion are constantly present in the dorm from the time the first early bird decides to rise until the last dog is finally hung at night. There’s the slamming of pots and pans, someone running through the hall, the conversationalist group on the stairs, and the clang, clang of the washer down the basement. To most students, the Dorms serve as a place to cat and sleep occasionally, to study when nothing else is happening, or to hold a party with the students from the “Cottages.” —56— Of rapidly increasing importance at Snow is the vocational department. In the Mechanical Arts Building, students were able to develop their abilities and at the same time produce objects of usefulness and beauty. On the College Farm, students assisted in the care of livestock and the production of crops while earning College credit. The new pasteurizing unit made it possible to provide milk for the college cafeteria. —57— The A. W. S. is an organization of all women at Snow. The Preference Ball was one of the outstanding events of the year and was sponsored by the A. W. S. Another important activity was the Mothers’ 'Pea. Officers were: Helen Rasmussen, president; fune Miller, vice president; Joyce Sorenson, secretary; and Nclda Prcstwich, senior representative. The A. M. S.. an organization of all the men at Snow, had as its president, Donald Krischknecht: vice president. Mack Wilkcy; secretary and treasurer, Car-ncll S. Blackhatn; activity agent, Donald Benson. The dub sponsored many activities designed to attract student interest and support, as was shown bv the Deer Hunter’s Contest, the Thanksgiving Dance, and the Beard Crowing Contest. Those interested in being future teachers joined the K. T. A., an organization whose goal was to secure up-to-date literature on “fob Openings in the I'. S. A. The club was led by Carol Christensen, president; Beverly Leavitt, vice president; Roger Nelson, secretary-treasurer; and Thelma Reynolds, librarian. Membership in this club was open to any student interested in the problems of international relations. Current topics were discussed at bi-weekly meetings under the direction of chairman Arthur Welch. —60— The newly organized Ag Club met periodically to discuss problems of agriculture. As president. Kay Johnson was assisted by Lloyd Hodson. vice president: Orel Mikkcl-sen. secretary ami treasurer; Florence Olsen, reporter; and Donald Olsen, and Loren Phillips. advisors. The boxing dub at Snow-College has undertaken three High School Smokers and several boxing tours under the direction of Donley Despain, president, and Mr. Stutz. advisor. oxincj —61— an ef. to A group of students from the north comprise the Xo-San-Sno Club. The aim of this club is to foster good fellowship as well as to support school activities. The officers were: Yvonne Aiken, president; Kenneth Howell, vice president: Jo Ann Peterson, secretary; Thelma Reynolds. Roger Nelson, and Florence Olsen, assistant managers. The “Triple S” Club elected Louise Barton as their president, Arthur Welch, vice president; Dean Braith-waitc, secretary: Ruth Taylor, activity agent; and Shirley Anderson, program chairman. The function of the “Triple S” Club was to unify the south Sanpete students. Snow’s dramatic club, interested in fostering dramatic activities at Snow, had fun with “Howdy Stranger” and going to see Shakespeare. The officers were LaMar Hamilton, president; Renee Jones, vice president; Bonnie Jean Scovil, secretary; Derilys Rowe, reporter; Carolyn Peel, activity agent. The Stragglers Club of ’49 and ’50 chose as their officers: Joe Brinkerhoff, president; Ray Huff, vice president; Beverly Leavitt, secretary; Mary Ellen Hanks and Carl Angus, activity managers. The club included students from outlying districts and helped to promote co-operation and good fellowship. (9 The “S” Club, the official honor organization for athletes who have won honors in athletics is a fully functioning group. The stocking dance and the club’s support in all student body functions were carried on under the direction of Dick Harmcr, president. —63— —65— ______________________________________________ Coming back to school after a nice lone summer vacation, we arc faced with the tri-annual evil of registration and such questions as: What would I like to take vs. what do I have to take? Then there arc the woes of all the different lines one must stand in before he is finally registered and ready to start to work again. However, one soon forgets about all the troubles of registration when he begins to mingle with the many strangers around school. Learning new names and making new friends is a happy experience. � Oh, boy! Maple Canyon Day. Everyone puts on some old clothes and boards the bus for a day of hiking, programs, and cats. To some of the less energetic it proves a nice day of rest with the atmosphere of the canyon breeze. Do we Seniors love to be mean? Well, that’s what the Juniors seem to think when initiation week rolls around. Putting clothes on backwards, wearing straight hair and no makeup arc just a few of the tricks. But, Juniors, we’re really not so mean, wait until next year and you’ll see. —67— Vvonnc Despain, Founders Day Queen Ronald Rasmussen, Founders Day King Founder’s Day is anticipated by all.
