Encha nted Sea Phillip Ellis, Mrs. Elaine Krissman, and Mr. Lamont Wells, There's a legend of a special night So many years ago When young men, strong and gallant came In a ship with precious cargo. And by chance they drifted into this land. Of mystic beauty untold And were overpowered by its magic spell And were kept in its shimmering hold. And because they feared, that someday their ship Might suddenly bear them away. They sank it deep in the rippling waves Of a gleaming coral bay. As years passed by in this paradise. They became the Kings of the Sea. And they bid you enter when night comes down. To join in their ecstacy. So just for tonight, forget your cares. Be happy and fancy free: And joy in full measure will come to you, From our Gold Enchanted Sea. —DONNA SWAIN Union Bennie Lynn Rolfe . . . senior, chosen by the judges as Union's Sweetheart.

Student Government Student government serves the function of preparing youth for leadership and respon- sibilities under a democracy. The student council, made up of the four student body officers, four class presi- dents, and four class representatives, met every Monday noon for the purpose of scheduling activities, keeping the school con- stitution up to date, and working out a solu- tion to many student problems. The home room representatives served as the connecting link between the govern- ing body of student council and the entire student body. It was their job to express the feelings and opinions of the students they represented and to bring these students' problems and greivances before the council for justification. In this way all students in good citizenship standing were assured the privileges of a true democracy. With the combined efforts of faculty members and student government, our school took a major step forward in the preparation of youth for tomorrow.

OUR PARENTS To the students of Union High School we wish to express our appreciation for the opportunity afforded us to bring to you the 63 Yoon Yun. The experience has been invaluable and means much to us. To all the people who helped in any way to produce this book, thank you very much. —THE STAFF . JL)dJ3 T_ Dedication The students and faculty of Union High wish to pay a well-earned tribute to a man who has devoted his life to education. He has rendered his proven services to all around him and has been bound by his honor to teach where needed—not where he needed to teach for his own benefit. While we realize that no tribute would ever match the value of all that he has done for us, we might be able to express a meager portion of the im- mense gratitude that we do so justifi- ably hold for him. Mr. Neilsen, who graduated from Brigham Young University in 1935, con- tinued his quest for knowledge at that institution until he received his master s degree in 1941, becoming one of the more qualified educators of the state. He began teaching in 1925. Having completed his formal education in 1941, he turned full time to educating youth in such a way as to mark him the pro- fessional educator he is. In addition to his teaching, he has served well otherwise. For twenty years he was timer at basketball games. He also served as student council advisor, and chairman of the senior class. His sound advice and active participation in school activities were greatly apprec- iated. Mr. R. Lamont Neilsen, it is with deep appreciation that the Yoon Yun staff dedicates this book to you. Mr. R. Lamont Neilson 113
