If we are to be good citizens it is necessary for us to take the responsibility placed upon us. Every decision that a community or county leaves for their government to make for them means that they have surrendered some of their responsibility and with it some of their individual freedom. If you do your part as a citizen you will be proud of the heritage you have to pass on to others, your heritage of a free country. Even though it may seem that your part is trivial and unimportant, it takes the combined efforts of everyone to make America a free, desirable place to live. - 4 j ¥ Httitt Students Officiate In charge of student activities at Uintah are the capable Student Body officers. They have 1 v hard to make this year a big success for all of us. Their friendly smiles, cheerful hellos and helpf. l sug- gestions have been appreciated by everyone. Throughout his years at Uintah, Dale Ross, predden-1 a shown unlimited talent in the fields of music, dramatics, and student government. Vice-pro vt IvH- Ann King can always be depended upon for a joke, regardless of circumstances. An audience delighted when she came out to perform. She has always been active in leadership and ,. ; proved to all of us how competent she can be. Loreen Johnson, secretary, has shown inexhausti!: in music. Her compatible disposition makes her a friend of all. Capably managing business is 1 ;,c shaw. She did an excellent job on yearbook finance and all other responsibilities given her. ThaT, gvv the beaming personality and bright smile that you have seen around the campus is Rita Stewart, ' f She has worked hard to keep a record of school activities. Philip Jenkins with his bright pc . was on the ball at all times, reminding students not to crowd in the lunch line or throw pap • campus. He has done a fine job and we can see a real improvement in the grounds. The uni. of these officers have proved to all of us that they have a real interest in our school and a sincere o to help all of us. f FAE OPENSHAW Business Manager RITA STEWART Historian PHILIP JENKINS Chief of Police BOARD OF EDUCATION ERNEST JOHNSON, MRS. JACK TURNER, HYRUM SLAUGH, W. RUSSELL TODD, LAREN ROSS, F. G. 'LSKE'.SON, HAROLD M. LUNDELL. It takes planning and hard work to make the decisions for and manage the affairs of a school district. Super- intendent Lundell, with the assistance of the board mem- bers, has spent the year executing plans to make this year of school more profit- able for all of us. Many plans have been made . for improvements in the school during the summer months. Our sincere thanks to the superintendent and the board for their efforts in our behalf. HAROLD M.

The Police Force, combined with the Stu- dent Council, formed the Student Court. This court was held to pass judgment upon student offenders found guilty of crowding in the lunch line? throwing papers on the lawns, in the hallways, and in the auditorium, 5etc., as well as other offenses. The Boys' and Girls' Leagues were organ- ized to help the students become bet- ter acquainted with each other. The Girls' League has a special movement known as Little Sisters. The senior girls have little sisters from each grade. Thl! helps them get acquainted with ttv i. The purposes of all these organ- '-atiOns'' are to help the students know e ther better, learn to get along L ■ ‘ -r together, and develop their t, (.ms m the best possible way. The Student Council consists of the Student Officers, Class Presidents, Uintahn ' : Jte P ...v '' ov Editors, Head Cheerleader, and Boys' and Girls' League Presidents. The purpose ot tms orgamzaT is to make the rules governing the student body. They arrange for committees to take care of any bo Hess that concerns student activities. They are the student government. The Service Bureau is for the pur- pose of approving all assembly scripts. The student Body Vice-President and Class Vice-Presidents e up this bureau. Either the vice-president or the advisor must see and approve an assembly befor- ': presented to the students. They provide programs, by students, for civic clubs arid organizations. Th-s helps give students opportunities fo use and develop fheir talents. STUDENT COUNCIL:— Standing, left to right:— GLADE ROSS, DAN LABRUM, KARL BEASE, SHARON SEARLE, DALE PERRY, CARILLON SEAP.uS.

Vice-President NORMAN HASLEM Secretary JOHN HACKING DENNIS LEE VELDA AKELUND The time has almost come when the Senior Class will graduate, but we will never forget the many things they have done. Their Junior Prom will live in the hearts of everyone as a great suc- cess. Their Senior Hop was one worth remembering. Their Sweetheart Ball candidate won the coveted crown in their Junior year. The Senior candi- date won Harvest Ball Queen. A Senior boy was voted most preferred man at the Christmas Dance. They did a real service to the school with their Senior Project. Even though they are leaving, their accomplishments will stay forever.

As the ceremony goes over, a marvel of perfection, we must appreciate the efforts of this committee who planned each detail and made this important moment even more impressive. SENIOR HOP COMMITTEE Half the year went by and the com- mittee was getting worried. They had so many ideas for themes, and all of them were such good ones, that they spent all their time in meetings trying to decide which one to use. Finally they came to the conclusion that Chinatown would be ideal. Hours were spent making the quaint decor- ations. Chinese lanterns and shops filled the high school gym. All those who attended will remember it as a real success. Shirley Mortensen, chair- man; Kay Swain, co-chairman; and Stanley Oxburrow, Norman Haslem, Darlene Mecham, Eloise Caldwell, Bar- bara Jean Snow, and Fay Goodrich are to be commended for a very fine job. 0LENNA WALKER HYRUM REYNOLDS DALE ROSS SHIRLEY GARDINf LOREEN JOHNSON GARY HAWS LLOYD FREESTONE DARLENE MECHA LARRY MOON BETTY POWELL BENNOR HATCH NORMA HASLEM JESSE JOHNSON BILLIE FAITH FISHER BARBARA JEAN SNOW MARALEA SMITH GORDON McCOY RICHARD EVANS LYNN SIDDOWAY RAY VAN LEUVEN JOANNE HALL LU RAE DUDLEY SENIOR PROJECT COMMITTEE Floyd Tullis, chairman, and LuRae Collett, co-chairman, with the capable assistance of committee members Fae Openshaw, Mary Ann King, Philip Jenkins and Norman hJaslem, have been spending a good deal of their time trying to leave our school some- thing from which to remember the Seniors of '53. The Seniors decided to finish up the football field, which has been the project of several other class- es. With funds left for this purpose by other classes, and the assistance of in- terested civic organizations, they were well on their way to a successful project.

The samples they had to choose from were all so beautiful that it was really a task. The rings are a symbol of their gradu- ation, which makes them very important. In the past the rings have been delivered in the fall. This year, however, they will be delivered in the spring, so they can have them during the summer months. This year these enterpris- ing students have ventured into new fields neither pre- viously available nor desired. They have felt the urge to explore and to peer into the unknown. The more adven- turesome have delved into psychology, chemistry, etc., and have reaped a bountiful harvest. Our future is well assured by the enterprise of this present generation. p- Joleen Timothy, JoAnn Hatch, Roger Hacking, and Jean Goodrich examine a few samples from the selection of rings offered to the Junior Class this year. c T SHIRLEY STEVEN PAT FRED MYRNA LUCK HAYNES LEE CALDER ROBBINS Sophomores work hard Sophomores are those peo- ple who have just begun to live at Uintah. They strike out for themselves and ar- rive. Sophomore girls bear watching, and brotherly Sen- iors do keep an eye on them —two eyes. Good luck, Sophs; you're full - fledged Utes now. We'll be seeing you next year as Juniors. We give our thanks to our Sopho- more officers who with great enthusiasm and great ambi- tion have seen the class of '55 through a very successful year.

These industrious people already are beginning to find their place in activi- ties of student life. They sense the positions of the seniors and try to vie with the juniors for prominence in school activities. Doubtless their high aims and hopes cause them to ever strive upward. When faced with last- minute rehearsals for their assembly, The Roaring Twenties, they emerged with a likeable and facetious produc- tion featuring the charleston, the latest in dipping waistlines, and even bringing a model T Ford on the stage as a high- light. This year was characterized by an era of awakening. School became more than books, but books became more than words. Algebra continued to confuse and to stimulate. Lives be- came enriched by the things we learned from a varied school program. Today we laid a good foundation for years to come.

At first some were confused and amazed by the complexity of their new life, while others merely carried on in a familiar role. Soon these differ- ences were to make little outward in- dication of the thoughts and actions of those who are such a fundamental part of the activities of our school. Along with our required classes we began to sample various other things, to gain more understanding of life around us. This was a planning time. A time to build hopes and aspirations for our years before we leave Uintah and for those to follow. As we conclude this year we look back and see how we have become aware of our place in life and our responsibility to those around us. Yes, this year has been worth while.

DAVIES Speech and Arl LAWRENCE LEE Music and Spanish LUCILLE NELSON Horne Economics Attempting to excel in our particular fields of art and speech while under the direction of Mr. Davies and Mr. Lee, we master the paint brush, correct phonetics, and acquaint our- selves with the musical scales. These classes offer educational and cultural background and develop an appreciation of the fine things of life. The speech classes instructed students in the art of public speaking. They learned to apply stage make- up on each other, participate in pantomimes, take part in plays, and give humorous and dramatic readings. They had innumer- able opportunities to appear before audiences and develop their poise. The Thespian Club, comprised of students who had a definite interest in dramatic arts, has spent many profitable evenings discussing and hearing book reviews, readings, and plays. They also featured a weekly radio program over KJAM to develop those v ho had talent in radio. The music depart- ment added a great deal to the effectiveness of school func- tions. The lively pep band helped liven school spirit at ball games and pep assembies. The mixed chorus and band pre- sented a well-executed concert during the Christmas season. Two boys' quartettes and a girls' sextette provided pleasant entertainment for many school, church, and civic activities. Miss Nelson, in charge of the Home Economics Department, has spent the year developing girls so they can participate ef- fectively in the society in which they live and enjoy it to the fullest. The girls learned to prepare and serve meals for all occasions. They earned to be good hostesses. Discussions were held and lectures given on how to care for children. Each girl was required to make some item of clothing. After picking out many seams and feeling extreme discouragement, they all agreed that it was a profitable experience. 50 txsr %� r ?

It, however, is more than we had imagined. In these classes we have obtained a cultural background and have become more familiar with such figures as Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, and O. Henry, and have attached new significance to English Literature as phrased by Shakespeare and Chaucer. We have found that language goes far beyond the walls of these classrooms, for it is our means of communication with our fellow men. We have found our lan- guage to be a helpful tool in learning of the tech nical skills with which we may plan to earn a livelihood, and that mere textbook knowledge of facts is of little value if we are not able to con- vey these facts to others.. In short, we have become more able to think clearly, to analyze a sit., ation, and to act upon our careful evaluation of the facts; we have better been able to read ic - rather than words, and to listen intelligently to the words of those who might council with . Perhaps now we sense more than ever our need to further develop our ability to use this valu- able tool in all phases of our lives. 53 Ac Allen and Guyla Stewart spend a profitable hour ■ “tching up on their lessons during a library class.

STEWART Library, Journalism A library full of books is a real help when you are assigned a re- search paper, or when you are just looking for additional information on some difficult subject. But all the books in the library are not intended for research. Hundreds of books are there for your read- ing pleasure. Many new and ex- citing books have been added this year, and next year when you have a spare moment you are encour- aged to search out and to enjoy them. Classes for study are held in the library during the day, and students who do not have suffic- ient time to study during the eve- ning find this class very helpful in keeping their lessons up-to-date. 54 Many students are eager to ac- quire knowledge and training that will help them gain suitable life- time employment. Others are in- terested in obtaining a job to help finance a higher education. It is the purpose of the Uintah High School Business Department to teach students the basic skills of typewriting, shorthand, bookkeep- ing; and for those who desire, in- struction in filing is given. Stu- dents who enroll in second-year courses are trained to be accurate and efficient in their chosen fields; to achieve skill in their work so that it is acceptable and on a par with work done in most employ- able situations. A class in office practice is offered to a limited number of girls for an hour each day. This class affords an opportunity to become acquainted with definite employment situations. The girls are taught to run office machines, type absentees, bulletins, and some of the most technical office papers. This is not only an asset to the girls, but it helps the office secretary, the principal, and all those associated with the office, to make the school function more successfully. GWEN G.

The Junior and Senior classes received interesting and con- ■ictive instruction on preparation tor marriage from Pro- -or Don C. Colton of the Utah State Agriculture College. 'embers of American Problems and Civics classes held an 't'on. Darlene Mecham receives Shirley Gardner's ballot. Social Man is the central figure in the social studies, a group of educa- tional subjects which aim to en- courage understand among people whether they live and work in dif- ferent nations, in different sec- tions of the same city, or at dif- ferent occupations. The aim of our school social science depart- ments are: to develop an appreci- ation for the current and historic struggles of man to better his civilization, to give us a back- ground and desire to help in civic activities, social institutions and the solution of social problems, to develop understanding of the in- terdependence of nations upon each other, and develop person- ality and the importance of world peace. In American History class- es attempts are made to familiar- ize students with the history of our country and make them aware of the hardships that have been en- dured to make our present free- dom possible. Studies were made of the Constitution, the Declara- tion of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and many other docu- ments. They became better ac- quainted with the United States presidents and learned to appreci- ate the advantages of living in this country. Civics students studied democratic government, the way it functions, and its advantages and disadvantages compared with other forms of government. They learned the purposes of the Legis- lative, Judicial, and Executive branches of the government. American Problems classes are de- signed especially for Seniors, and this class offered many enlighten- ing experiences for people who 56 Studies Develop Understanding are about to go out into the world. Adaptability tests were given through this department by state representatives. The results of these tests were discussed with each individual and many valuable suggestions were made to stu- dents in regard to their intended occupations. In American Problems classes discussions were held on love, courtship and marriage. They helped give the students a better understanding of the things they should look for in their prospective mate in order to insure themselves of a happy married life. These classes sponsored an excellent project in connection with Civics classes. During the Presidential campaign they held a straw vote to determine who was the pre- ferred candidate from this school. Students were required to register and go through all the formalities of a regular election. The results of this election proved interesting to students and townspeople as well, for it helped to predict the November vote and the position of Uintah county in the election of President Eisenhower.

Physiology is difficult but Shirley Luck, Naomi Massey, and Jo Ann Richards seem tobe trying hard. Dissecting a frog is a serious operation. Ellen Morgan, Jackie Bath, Carol Streigel, and Laura Fox spend an eve- ning at Science Club. Physiology is a study of the functions of the body. Each of the nine systems are taken up as a separate unit, in which all parts are described, named, located, and the function of each are fully ex- plained. The nine systems are then cor- related and it is shown how each sys- tem depends upon the other eight systems for carrying out the body functions. This information is given in such a manner to acquaint the students with the human body in order that they may understand the physical changes and emotional changes taking place in their own bodies while they are reach- ing maturity. It is the main purpose of this course to enable them to live more healthful lives, physically, mentally, and emotionaly through a full understand- ing of their body. Science Biology, the science of life, deals with the structure, function and inter- relationship of living organisms. It is an important part of practically every as- pect of modern living. Either directly or indirectly all activities of nations and of individuals are related to the field of biology. Our purpose in study- ing natural science is to more fully un- derstand ourselves and the complex world of living things about us. Doc- tors, nurses, farmers, foresters, house- wives, and numerous others use practi- cal applications of biological principles in their daily tasks. No matter what we do after leaving school, there will always be a need for the use of bio- logical principles in our daily living. 58 In view of the fact that the world is rapidly becoming more dependent upon chemistry end the chemical process, it seemed only fitting that students register for the science dealing with the properties and structure of matter. The need of students for specific and varied informa- tion has resulted in a combined technical and general approach to this interesting field of knowl- edge. In a technical world they have become accquainted with the meaning of element, atom, nuclear reaction, organic chemistry, cataylyst, and have acquired facility in the chemical know- how essential for everyday living. The usual weird smells that usually proceed forth from such a room of science, come forth in the usual way, producing the usual up turned noses and groans of dismay from those from without the inner circle. Those who were responsible for these interesting irritants seemed to fake great pride in their new-found knowledge, for not everyone could display such far-reaching influence upon the entire school. For some this year of chemistry has been a valuable foundation for future study in the preparation for a life vocation, others are more able to see and understand the world in which they live. In brief, no matter what the reasons for obtaining this experience, each perspn has benefited in his own special way. Stimulates Thinking FRANK W. WRIGHT T. BLAINE MOORE GRAHAM D.

Mathematics of- fers unparalleled training in accur- ate and logical thinking. It has to offer many different fields such as geometry, which holds true for all angles in all planes; algebra and trigonometry, which deal with solving formulas and equations. Math is used in practically every phase of life. It helps great sci- entists in improving our everyday way of life, and in bettering our war weapons that we may be bet- ter prepared for world peace. In everything you do math is in- volved, and whether simple or complex, scientific development is dependent upon it.

MARCUS B. GARRETT Physical Education; Civics ELIZABETH AXELGARD Physical Education A t h I e Crowde Physical Education affords students not only mental exercise, but also a means for improving their bodies. Here students learn the value of exercise in daily life. And with the help of their instructor they learn the importance of body cleanliness and good health habits. Physical Ed, trains students to be physi- cally fit in all phases of life that they may, as opportunities come, be able to face all situations to the best of their ability. This year intramural basketball and volleyball games were participated in by different members of the Phys. Ed. classes. These games were held for the purpose of training Merlin Richens, VaLoy Eaton and Clifford Hatch seem to be enjoying a cool, refreshing shower affer playing a hard game. 62 students how to play with opposite teams and also in promoting good sportsmanship, not to terv tion the entertainment it provided for the student body during the noon hours. Physical Educa- tion programs also give all who prove themselves worthy, through keen competition, an oppor- tunity to participate in extra-curricular activities. These extra-curricular activities not only provide, training and enjoyment for the players, but also add a great deal in breaking everyday monotone of lectures and books, and provide the students with a feeling of loyalty and interest in support ing their school. Many activities such as basketball, football, wrestling, and track were on the list for making this year's sports an interesting one. Along with basketball, track, and football, came the daily exercise which helped the girls in keeping trim and smart looking. Here also are found dance classes which are held every Friday for both boys' and girls' Phys. Ed. classes. With the instructors' help they learn such dances as the fox trot, waltz, and of course the Charleston. From here we go to the health classes which are held during the cold winter months. The purpose- of the health program is teaching good health habits and personal grooming. Phys Ed, has be- come a paramount necessity to the modern day scholar. Everyone will agree it is a period pf relaxation and a break in the everyday grind. Every day the Phys Ed girls can be found in the lower hall patiently waiting for the bell. The Boys' Phys Ed class enjoy a game of volleyball. A group of girls display their talents at playing oa.

DAY Vocational Agriculture Farm Mechanics General and Industrial Trades Industrial Arts and Science Vocational classes provide practical and technical instruction and job experience in the voca- tional field the student has elected to follow in accordance with local, state, and national stand- ards, and to assist in getting him estabished in his chosen field. All industrial work is taught on an exploratory basis in the various vocational fields. Classes provide experience whereby a student is better equipped to select a vocation. In Mr. Landon's agriculture classes a complete study is made of rural life. Crop rotation, livestock judging, farm management, and many phases of farmers' problems are discussed and studied. The Future Farmers of America, a club especially for boys interested in farming and all of its aspects, goes hand in hand with this class. Each member has a project and Ag classes follow the development of these animals and crops in order to get a better understanding of them. In Mr. Day's classes ground work was laid for the better understanding of the various aspects of woodwork. The basic training in drafting helped students to better appreciate the need for planning in work. The field of plastics was by far the most interesting for many students, and they were diligent in their efforts to produce many arti- cles. Many nice articles were produced and much experience gained in the art of working with leather during the time spent exploring this field. Auto mechanics has taught the fundamentals of caring for an automobile. The fellows learned the major causes of motor failure and the places to expect squeaks and the effective remedies for each. They learned the function of each part of a motor. Mr. Freeman's students also learned to run the movie projectors and have been a definite help with the school's Visual Aids program. 65 U i n t a h n Profitable A c t i As the end of the year drew nigh the yearbook editors and advisers began to show evidence of gray hair and wrinkles. It seemed that their minds had been completely drained of ideas, after spending the year making page arrangements and writing copy. They gained many constructive ideas from a Journalism Conference at the Brigham Young University to help them with their job. The progress seemed so slow that the staff often felt discouragement, but their spirits were always higher when a section had been completed and was on the way to the publisher. Each deadline seemed so close to the last that it seemed very difficult to meet them on time.

One Saturday the staff met and finding the building cold, lit bunsen burn- ers to keep warm. An alert citizen reported a fire in the chemistry room to the fire department and it took several minutes to convince the firemen that the chemistry room was not ablaze. Considering everything, however, we must admit that the satisfaction the staff received when the job was finished proved payment enough for the long hours of work they had done. Sincere thanks from the editors to all those who have helped in any way with the yearbook this year. Jean Goodrich, lla Manwaring, Ray Pace, and Glenna Walker draw up a page layout. Since old yearbooks provide many ideas, Charles Johnson, Dee Hall, Clair Hopkins, and Valda Pope scan them diligently. KENNETH HATCH CORENA MONDRAGON Editor Associate Editor Ute Row Wow Tells The Tale... The Ute Pow Wow staff has given freely of their time and talents to bring to the Uintah High School students the latest news, the best jokes, and some gossip. The students themselves have broadened their understanding of journalism. They have learned how to proof-read, type stencils, mimeograph, run the printing machine, and last, but not least, staple papers. The Ute Pow Wow, which is long awaited by students, is published semi-monthly and features editorials, columns about the latest fashions about school, humorous articles, and just plain news. Some of the articles are educational, others are merely for entertainment. The Ute Pow Wow editors and several class representatives who attended the Journalism Conference brought home many inter- esting and helpful ideas to make the Pow Wow more interesting. For those who find radio listen- ing more enjoyable than reading, and for those who do not have access to the paper but have a definite interest in activities at Uintah, Smoke Signals is broadcast weekly over KJAM by the Journalism Staff. This not only brings enjoyment to the community, but it gives the students experience in radio-broadcasting. The faithful editors, adviser, and staff working together put out an outstanding paper. 68 RICHARD EVANS DARLENE MECHAM LYLIS ADAMS LaRAE DUDLEY LYNN SIDDOWAY BETTY GLENN JOHNSON MRS.

This was extremely interesting because neither team was able to score until the last quarter, when the Moab Devils were able to overcome opposition and win by a 6 to 0 margin over the Utes. For the first League game of the season the Redskins traveled to Ft. Duchesne to play the Union Cougars. The Redskins played a marvel- ous game of ball, but the 6 points scored by Ross were not sufficient to surpass the 18 points accumulated by the Cougars, and the Redskins suffered their first league loss of the season. 75 RONALD D. HATCH KENT DAVIS CHARLES JOHNSON ROGER HACKING TOM MONTGOMERY Fullback End Fullback Tackle Tackle Traveling to meet the Moab Devils at Moab, the fighting Utes again succumbed to defeat at the hands of the Devils by a 24 to 14 margin. Uintah Utes rallied in the third quarter under the able direction of Captains Charles Wells and Doug Brady, to score their 14 points; but were unable to overcome their rivals' early lead. After an I 8 to 6 victory over the Union Cougars the Utes, tired but happy, proudly carried Coach Axelgard from the field. This was undoubtedly a moment of triumph. The game proved to be the most exciting of the season, as Charles Wells carried the ball across the goal line to make the first T.D. Lloyd Freestone annexed another point as he placed the ball between the uprights for an extra point, making the score 7 to 0. Excitement prevailed throughout the game. Even in the waning moments the crowd went wild as Wells again broke loose to carry the ball across for the final tally. Lynn Siddoway seems to be in We carried Coach Axelgard off the field after an trouble as Moab closes in. exciting win over Union. This time we didn't get too far. The hole failed to ma’.erialize and a host of Union Cougars stop a needed gain of yardage. After making a good gain, the advance of Well: is brought to an abrupt halt by the eager defend ers from Union. As Uintah's line provides a large hole, Wells scampers through for more yardage as we fight it out with Moab here at Uintah's field. With a well executed block, Tom Wardell takes his man out of action, and Charles Wells displays some good open field running. CHERIE GEE JO ANN HATCH Cheerleaders Make Good KATHLEEN SHOWALTER RENEE' HENDERSON All Set? You Bet! This beginning put the student body into high spirits and encour- aged those Fighting Utes to a speedy victory. Cheerleaders JoAnn, Cherie, Kathleen, and Renee' were constantly trying to stimulate more school spirit and better sportsmanship. Through- out the year this snappy foursome proved to be an essential cog in the ever-widening circle of sports events. They spent many hours making up appropriate yells to correspond with the Pep Club marches. The march at the Duchesne game featured a wagon wheel. The Union march featured a cougar head outlined with sparklers and a peace- pipe rotating in an Indian war dance. The marches this year were all colorful and proved an interesting sidelight at an exciting game. The cheerleaders added spice to pep as- semblies with their spirit-raising yells and peppy songs. Win or lose, they did their best to make a good game better. Throughout the football and basketball season, at home or at Union, they were always there urging the team on to victory and encouraging the students to show their high spirits. Cherie, Renee', Jo Ann, and Kathleen lead Pep Club in forming a U and a C. The Pep Club makes a fascinating display with sparklers and flashlights.

SO Wrestling Grows at U H. S Takedowns, counters, escapes, advantage—these terms could be heard echoing from the gym and are terms used to describe amateur wrestling. The grunt and groan experts at Uintah this year worked diligently all through the winter to prepare for the meets scheduled during Feb- ruary. The hard work and rigid training program followed by the Utes paid dividends in all of the dual matches. We beat Carbon here at Uintah, tied them at Carbon; beat Rangely at Rangely and at home. Following these dual matches the boys traveled to Wasatch High for Area Four region matches. Three boys qualified for the state finals which were held at Logan, February 2 I. With the outstanding wrestlers from all over the state at Logan, Jim Knight placed fourth in the 120-lb. class. McCoy Kanistanaux and DeLyle Billings failed to place in the state meet. All the boys who wrestled at Logan gained some very valuable experience which should go a long way to help improve our wrestling team next year. Tom Wardell and his opponent seem to be stalled. Seconds later, we gained valuable points in our contest Utes turned out enmasse to witness the matches of a newly-revived with Rangely. sport at Uintah. Tom seems little bothered by the scissors. JESSE JOHNSON FLOYD TULLIS LLOYD FREESTONE JOHN HACKING Guard Forward Center Forward Fighting Utes Place Second COACH MARCUS GARRETT The Utes lost their first pre-season game with the Spanish Fork Dons on December 5. The final score was 58-36 in favor of the Dons. It was the Dons' third game, how- ever, and this gave them a definite advan- tage over the Utes. The team played well together and excellent ball handling was shown by the whole team. The Fighting Utes played several other pre-season games before starting the important league. Some of them were games played with Rangely, Grantsville, Moab, and during the league they played a game with the Carbon Dino- saurs from Price. Coach Garrett was admired and re- spected by all the fellows on the team. He helped the fellows work out a set of training rules, and Uintah fans saw a great improve- ment this year. 82 TERRY ANDERSON Forward LYNN SIDDOWAY Guard FLOYD HULLINGER Center t The Uintah Utes met the Union Cougars on the Cougars' home floor on January 16 for one of the really important games of the season. The Utes led the Cougars all through this exciting game until the last four minutes, when Union made a powerful comeback to win the game by a margin of three points. The final score was 49-46. Floyd Tullis was high-point man of the game with 17 points. Rebounding against the Union Cougars are Charlie Wells and Terry Anderson, as Floyd Tullis and Lynn Siddoway watch events intently. Charlie Wells has the antagonized look of a ball player who does not know where the ball is. Terry Anderson makes a break to recover it. On January 23 the Utes clashed with the Carbon Dinosaurs in the Uintah High gymnasium. The Utes played a good game, but the end of the game found the Carbon boys way ahead. The first two season games played by Uintah took place on the Utes home floor. They played Tabiona on January 7, winning by a large margin, and two days later they met the Duchesne Eagles. Floyd Tullis gets the tip over Duchesne's player, which sets up the play for a fast break.

The team won this game and this put them in second place in the league. One of the last games of the season was the home game with Union. The Utes just couldn't seem to get started in the first half. In the second they picked up but they couldn't stop the Cougar offensive. The final score found the Fighting Utes behind by nine points. The score was 45 to 55. John Hacking is working hard to keep this Union player from making a pass. 85 On February 13 the Utes met the Altamont Longhorns and they really tromped them. The fans kept cheering for just one more point, and the game ended with a score of 99-45 in favor of the Uintah Utes. John Hacking was high-point man with 25 points. There was still hope for Uintah to attend the state tournament. They were to play Moab, the second place winner from San Juan, Emery Division, at Price. The team and fans who at- tended the game came home in high spirits with a victory. Only one more game to play and they would be at the state meet. The Utes journeyed to Richfield to play Manti. It was an ex- citing game and the boys were doing a wonderful job, but disappointment was at hand. The Utes lost by one point in an overtime. All the Ute fans were disappointed, but everyone agreed that we have a fine team and the school is very proud of them. esse Johnson is up in the air with a jump hot.

The flop was none other than Etta Dean (played by Nita Slaugh). Randy and Buzz (Stephen Case and Clair Hopkins), two kids still in high school, while worrying about their future vocation, land a job with Mr. Dean (Phil Jenkins) the advertising tycoon. This job is bigger than the boys realize! They must help make Etta a social success. The two advertising geniuses' suddenly find that they don't have to advertise their product. She becomes a great social success, and she doesn t have to wait for them either. The Pryors are in a terrible state when it is rumored that Etta has eloped with a famous singer while she is spending the summer at the Pryor cottage. After many trying and exciting moments she returns and her father announces that Randy and Buzz are in- deed a success. 90 CAST KENNETH CALDWELL ELAINE MASSEY ..... VANITA RAHM KARL POPE......

The plot behind the play was to marry off Sylvia, who wasn't getting any younger, to a suitable man. Before the play was over Maudie, the younger sister of Sylvia, had everyone in a peck of trouble, including herself. Being a girl who knew all the answers about men, she found herself giving advice to the lovelorn, which worked out for everyone but herself. It seemed she couldn't keep the interest of her boy friend, who had become deeply infatuated with her older sister Sylvia, and Sylvia, of course, had fallen in love with Jerry, her father's busi- ness partner. Then Maudie found she had been using the wrong line. At the end of the play .veryone was pretty well satisfied and pleased with Maudie, who had changed her line to no line at all. 92 CAST ELAINE DAVIS.......................Mrs. Mason KARL POPE ......... .........Mr. Mason DANA MAR HERBERT .....

The film dance, Dancing in the Dark, was presented for -ihe first time by the Thespian club. Many students found this to be a new experience. This year the Junior High participated in more school activities and for the first time sponsored a Sweetheart Ball. The decorations carried out the theme, Peg of My Heart. A good time was had by all. Dan Labrum and Pleasia Alexander reigned as King and Queen of the Ball, with Cheryl Stewart and Clair Batty as attendants. The Hayseed Hop was one of the remarkable dances of the year, and was presented by the F. H. A. Club. Aprons and levis were in order for the evening. Sienna Walker, Wendell Collier, Clair Hopkins, and Dana Mar Herbert were among the many who par- ticipated in the Potatoe Dance. Lyceums Provide Entertainment A number of very interesting and educational lyceums were presented to the student body this year. The first lyceum, Down to the Sea in Ships, was pre- sented by Captain Paul Dry of the United States Merchant Marine. The program featured interesting activities on board ship, and actual experiences of Captain Ory during the many years he spent on ships working up from a common seaman to a ship captain. The program was illustrated by a display of sea equip- ment on stage. Students were fascinated by many items such as the huge ropes used to secure anchors, and the machine used on lifeboats to send SOS sig- nals. Mr. Holland demonstrates the tactics of the bull fight. The Voice of Scotland, featuring Hamish Mac- Gregor and Cathrine MacFarlane, was an unusual program. Mr. MacGregor, dressed in kilts fashioned from the plaid of his family clan, performed most of the entertainment. He told jokes and stories about his countrymen and sang ballads from his native land. Miss MacFarlane joined him in a lively execution of the Highland Fling. All of the students thoroughy enjoyed this program. Another entertainer from the British Isles, this time from England, presented Highlights of Variety. Mr. George Pitts has received wide acclaim as the world’s most celebrated voice im- pressionist. His imitations of animals, trains, and every-day sounds delighted everyone. The entire student body owes a vote of thanks to the stage crew who have con- tributed a great deal to making lyceums, as- semblies, and plays possible for the students. Ray Van Leuven, Roger Hacking, Clifton Merkley, Lee Walker, stage crew manager; Philip Jenkins, Don Hullinger, Philip Colton, Dilworth Rust, Karl Pope, and George Searle, who was not present when this picture was taken. wo A setting from Alladin and His Wonderful Lamp. Mr. Pitts presents an amusing hat game. Captain Dry exhibits ropes used on ship anchors. The string quartette plays for the students of Uintah. The Other Americas was presented in association with the University of Utah Extension Service. Mr. Ross Holland, who has visited South America, Central America, and Mexico, and has made a thorough study of their customs, presented the program. A display of handwork from the countries helped to make the program more interesting and colorful. Mr. Holland ex- plained the customs concerning courtship and marriage in Mexico, which the student body found very amusing. He also presented an amusing demonstration of a bull fight. The exciting story of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp was presented to the Junior High by the Palmer Martin Marionettes. It was an exciting story, artistic and colorful. An array of clever puppets proved interesting to students who saw the performance. An excellent program came to Uintah from the Utah State Agricultural College. A string quartette and a lovely soloist presented an hour of pleasing entertainment. The last lyceum of the year was the Ambassadors of Song. A program like this one con- tributed a great deal to music appreciation among students. A soprano, an alto, a tenor, and a baritone made up a charming quartette. They featured songs from Oklahoma, popular num- bers and selections from some of the famous operas. 101 Assemblies Show Talent The Service Bureau has arranged for a number of excellent assemblies this year. They have varied in variety from humorous to serious, and from educational to entertaining. These assemblies have also provided development in dramatics, music, and many other fields for stu- dents. Nearly every organization and club has presented an assembly. The Thespian Club gave a very good program. Members of the club acted out old nursery rhymes. It was a good ex- ample of the accomplishments of this active society. The story of the Littlest Angel pro- vided an excellent background for the Christmas assembly presented by the Girls' and Boys' Pep Clubs. It gave everyone the Christmas spirit. The Sophomores presented an adorable program to advertise their annual dance, The Sophomore Swing. The numbers carried the audience back to the 1920's when everyone was dancing the Charleston and wearing middy blouses. Members of Madame Johnson's class seem fo be in a hurry to depart. The sack dance was an interesting feature of the Altamont Exchange Assembly. The faculty quartette proved themselves excellent musicians on many occasions. Here they perform on the Harvest Ball Assembly. The Harvest Ball assembly featured a rather formal program. One of the main events was the announcement of the final class competitors for Harvest Ball Queen. The Student Council presented an assembly that was quite different this year. Its purpose was to make students real- ize the importance of keeping our campus beautiful. The Varsity Club's contribution to the success of the assembly was a group of lovely bathing beauties. Though their figures were a little on the masculine side everyone, including the males, were thoroughly delighted with them. Union and Altamont brought exchange assemblies to Uintah this year. The students look forward with great expectations to these programs presented by other schools. They provided new, ex- citing talent and many new ideas for better assemblies. An array of beautiful formals was a fitting introduction for the annual Junior Prom. It added another lump of anticipation to hearts already bubbling with it. Chairman Renee Henderson announced the theme, Mood Indigo. Everyone was looking forward to spending an evening dancing under soft blue lights to beautiful music. Everyone must agree that the majority of the assemblies at Uintah this year have been 103 enormous successes. Senior High Band The Senior High Band, under the direction of Lawrence Lee, did much to contribute fine music on assemblies and programs at the high school. Junior High Band The Junior High Band showed outstanding talent when they played the national anthem oh the Lincoln and Washington assemblies. 104 MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus made an inspiring sight in their new choir gowns when they presented a concert with the band at Christmas. Life Enriched by Music The Freshman and Sophomore quartette has proved to be masters of song in its many school and public appearances. They were: Gerald Walker, Lee Cald- well, Dilworth Rust, Billy Roberts; accompanist, Janet Johnson. The Girls' Sextette has thrilled many audiences w;j its excellent singing.

Even the machines and levers were different colors to signify danger. The boys' first joy was to get started on their livestock projects. Many of the boys this year have outstanding farm projects and programs. We know this by the number of boys trying for their state farmer degree. This is the highest degree awarded by the state. There are Bob Mur- ray, Edward Merkley, Fred Calder, Tom Wardell, De Lyle Billings, Blaine Palmer, Gen Merkley, and Clifton Merkley. This is the most ever to register for this degree at the same time from the chapter. The Harvest Ball was one of the big things on the agenda for the early season. With a lot of hard work put into it, it turned out to be a big success, with the Rendlesbach Orchestra from Salt Lake. At Christmas the boys all had fun selling Christmas cards. But the real fun came when the returns gave them all the ice cream they could eat. Cne of the big achievements by the F. F. A. Chapter was the collecting of scrap metal which was traded to Geneva Steel Company. This mefal is for the training of Ag students and for use in shop projects. One of the big events of the year was the parents and sons banquet which was held on the 9th of April. A rodent control contest was waged between classes. This is to kill and control the farm parasites. The losing class is to give the others a party. An F. F. A. trip to Yellowstone Park is being planned for this summer. These are always an enjoyment and a good educational feature of the chapter. The Livestock Show is always a big event for the F. F. A. Chapter, and this year proved to be better than ever. The F. F. A. club has also participated in many other activities which have helped to make this year a successful one.
