HO would be without a year book if one is within reach? To me it is more than my diary, my history, or my biography. It is our diary, our history, our biography; and that which is ours is always more than that which is mine, as the we is more than the 1 or the me.
I know that clasped within its covers are scenes and sentiments, which in time to come will freshen memory's fading colors, and help me to live o'er and o'er one epoch of my eternity, so full of life and love and labor well enjoyed.
The year book is intrinsically of the school and for the school. To the stranger it is a sealed vol- ume. It is a current reflex of what the school has stood for from the student's point of view.

i T may not be amiss to state in brief what the school has aimed to stand for from the point of view of the Board of Trustees and the Faculty.
First, and foremost, has been the aim of spiritual growth, that is, love of the Lord and loyalty to His word. His ways, and His institu- tions. To this end the school has stood for a fixedness of purpose, that is ever gaining strength, based upon ideas that are at once fun- damentally unchangeable, yet ever progressive.
It has stood for evolution WITH our simple faith, not an evolu- tion FROM our simple faith; a growth WITH our infant purity, never a growth FROM it; an advancement WITH simple truth, and never FROM it. It has stood for a spiritual atmosphere through which not only a knowledge OF God but an acquaintance WITH Him might be obtained.
A picture of College Hall might be taken, the singing of the choir, the prayer, the playing of the orchestra might be recorded on an Edison cylinder, but our feelings during these devotional exer- cises defy external representation — they are ours alone, sweet soul possessions.
The spirit of the school cannot be photographed, neither can it be seen or heard. No one set of organs can make it interpretable, — even a simultaneous effort of all one's mental faculties cannot grasp it. Its comprehension requires the awakening of that which underlies the intellect, when one says, "I know, but how I know, I know not."
The school has stood for intellectual culture, meeting the institutional schol- astic requirements of the age, and even going beyond them in providing a larger field of choice for individual aptitudes than is usually found elsewhere. It has maintained a consistent balance between cultural and industrial education. The Faculty slogan has been, "students shall not be led into mental mists, nor shall they be permitted to form the habit of failing."
The Faculty and Student Body have stood together for clean sports and cultural dancing. The School has fostered such recreation as enriches the insti- tution and elevates the individual. It has had joy over conquest, without exulta- tion over the defeat of others. The school has stood for reciprocity between the Student Body and the Faculty. The former has had no occasion to make a de- mand, the latter no cause for issuing a command.

EARLY four decades have passed, since the 16th day of October, 1875, when the Brigham Young Academy, now the Brigham Young Uni- versity, held its opening session.
Our first ten years were spent in Lewis Hall, a two-story brick building, which site is now occupied by the Farmers and Merchants' Bank. Those who put time and money into the erection of that building had no idea that it would ever be used for a school. It was an amusement hall up stairs, with a stage at the end. Down stairs it was a dry goods store.
When Dr. Maeser, with his two assistants, and his little band of earnest students, (the original twenty-nine), first invaded that build- ing, they made the amusement hall a house of prayer by day, and at night dedicated it to lectures and wholesome amusements.
The curtain was retained and the stage converted into a class room. Accounts from early students tell us that mice and bats held high carnival there by night, and not infrequently during the day, some mouse, braver than his fellows, would sally forth to the dismay of the ladies and utter destruction of discipline of the school. But all this was of small moment for the great teacher was there, as also a class of students with whom large exchange of soul was possible.
Every decade of the history of the institution has produced good and efficient business men, but the first decade is marked by the presence of these persons who are first among our statesmen, college presidents, and lawyers.
Senator Reed Smoot and Senator George Sutherland are of this number, also Judge William H. King, who served in the lower house of Congress.
James E. Talmage has stood as Chief Executive both of the L. D. S. Uni- versity and of the University of Utah. Dr. Benjamin Cluff, Jr., was the second president of the Brigham Young University, while Joseph M. Tanner served as president both of the B. Y. College, and the State Agricultural College, of Logan. George H. Brimhall is president of the Brigham Young University.
Added to the names of the two eminent lawyers who have represented us in Congress we would add the names of Judge Scimuel R. Thurman and Judge Joshua Greenwood.
The major part of the time of the second decade was spent in the Z. C. M. L Ware House, at the foot of Academy Avenue. Fire had consumed Lewis Hall and for a brief period we were homed in the basement of the old tabernacle cind in S. S. Jones' store on Academy Avenue.
But the Ware House became our permanent home — that strange rectangular building, without ornament or architectural design, built for a packing house, its red bricks dulled long ago by the smoke of passing engines.
Partitions were placed within the building, that suitable rooms for devotional exercises and class recitations might be provided. Many will recall those old class rooms, with their white pine board partitions on three sides, and windows let in the sun in roughest possible manner.
Nothing could present a greater contrast than the class room at the old Ware House, and the class room in the Maeser Memorial. At the Memorial every touch of wood and every window is an ornament ; at the Ware House every win- dow and every touch of wood shocked one's sense of finish. None ever there will
12
forget how often the shriek of the railroad locomotive broke into the sequence and harmony of our class recitations.
A marsh, close at hand, sometimes bearing cresses, which we added to our noon meal, at other times putting forth the harsh nettle, with which we stung both hands and feet, was our only campus. Gymnasium we had none.
But those days are hallowed days, to the students of that time, for they brought hours of exaltation to both mind and spirit. The faculty was consid- erably enlarged. This second decade brought forth two groups of students, dis- tinguishing themselves particularly in medicine and mathematics.
A group of five or six, who have turned to medicine, will be remembered by the students of that day, for of that number are Dr. George Middleton, Dr. Samuel H. Allen, and Dr. E. G. Gowans ^^l^!!8f|^A*«««s»-
On the list of those inclined towards mathematics we shall place the names of Dr. Richard R. Lyman, head of the department of Civil Engineering, at the University of Utah, Caleb Tanner, State engineer for many years, and Professor Earnest D. Partridge and Professor Joseph L. Home.
There are some other persons of this period who must not be passed by. First on the list is State Supt. A. C. Nelson, and in quick succession follow the names of B. S. Hinkley, of the Deseret Gymnasium, Salt Lake, Edwin S. Hinkley. dean of our College, and Prof. A. C. Lund who had done so much to make the next decade famous for musical artists.
Before we had reached the third decade our first principal headed the pro- cession which led us triumphantly to our new home, on North Academy Avenue, the present High School Building. We were very proud of our new home.
Here Dr. Maeser resigned and Dr. Benjamin Cluff, Jr., was made president. President Cluff's term expired two and one-half years before the completion of the third decade, and since that time Dr. Geo. H. Brimhall has been president.
The school increased and expanded on all sides. Not one building but a group of buildings soon graced the campus, made lovely by the presence of trees and flowers both rare and beautiful.
Things unknown before now became part of the school life and activity. Lit- erary contests, athletic contests, curt and manual training, and agriculture exhibi- tions, dramatic performances, and the presentation of operas, very unusual for a school of our years and experience, all became part of the regular regime.
Teachers, preachers, and business men are found again upon the roll of honor. Some of their names are household words where the story of the institution's growth is told, for they are of the number who have contributed most gener- ously for our material comfort. The names of Jos. R. Murdock, Wm. J. Knight, Raymond Knight, W. L. Mangrum, Eugene R. Allen, Inez K. Allen and Jennie B. Knight are suggestive of this last group.
Another group of physicians are noted, as also a group of college professors, but this third decade is conspicuous in our history for the artists.
The names of Mrs. Fay Loose Stiehl and David Reese are given merely to suggest the noted group of soloists who came before and after Mabel Borg. William Hansen, Asael Nelson, Ralph Booth and Clarence Hawkins are of another group efficient in in- strumental work. Orson Campbell, Calvin Fletcher, and Aretta Young must tell the stoi-y of our painters; while that of Annie Pike Greenwood. Susa Talmage and Elsie Carol Chamberlain must bring to mind those famous in song and story. The fourth decade is more than half gone. We have passed from the building on North Academy Avenue, where daily the fruiter's cart is heard, to the hill side. In a palace of white, with the majestic rockies behind us, God's blue sky above us, and His blue lake in front, we have planted our College. Its work has just begun. Its students are not yet thoroughly tested, but a throng behind are crying, "See that you fail us in nothing." Yours the tiled and marble stair. Make his utterance false who declared, "that this is an age of gold but net a golden age."

The Alumni Association of the B. Y. U. has furnished many of the leading men of the West for the past thirty years. These men have always been true and loyal to their Alma Mater.
Besides the things accomplished outside the 'school, the Association has recently superintended the building of the Maeser Memorial at a cost of $114,000. Every dollar of this amount wrill have been paid by June 1, 1913. There is not a more beautiful school building in America than the "Maeser."
The Association has, this year, under the management of Prof. A. B. Christensen, bought forty-two acres of land just behind the Maeser. It has laid out a townsite, christened it Manavu, and is now selling lots at a reasonable price. This is to be one of the most beautiful of college towns. Do you want a lot?
Do you think the Alumni have decided to stop here? They have great plans for the future. Already a college hbrary is being provided for, and plans for new buildings on Temple Hill are laid. Such men as Professors Hinckley, Christensen. and Keeler have put the strength of their restless souls into the cause and have determined to build for the B. Y. U. grand and stately mansions.

"Tis the last rose of summer Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone;" And for bonnie Anna Olle We would lay us down and de.
JUNIUS BANKS Pleasant Grove. Utah
A genius is Junius, and yet not a mere dreamer. He finds "sermons in stones, books in the running brooks." Has relatives, by name, in every town of the state. Very religious, yet finds some good in Socialism. He has but a single aim in life — the chair of geology in the B. Y. U.
2A
ARTHUR L. BEELEY
Provo, Utah
A dignified English country gentle- man. He both "orates" and debates. Loves President Brimhall and himself. Ineligible to office of President of United States, but expects to become Chief Justice of Supreme Court. On the matrimonial fence. He has brought many honors to the B. Y. U.
WILLIAM H. BOYLE
Provo, Utah
A mighty mfm is he with large and tender heart, Principal of the Sub-High School of the B. Y. U. As such he has started many a youngster on the right track.
"If he's a watchin' on his beat, He'll tramp from east to west. And north to south — in cold and heat He does his level best.
25
DEAN BRIMHALL Provo, Utah
A tall, spare young man with a char- acteristic Lincoln pose. A fluent ora- tor and skillful debater. Gritty, too, and has learned —
"To dream — and not make dreams his master; To think — and not make thoughts his aim; To meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same."
FRED BUSS
Provo, Utah
This enterprising genius has traveled the country over and done many things. In his line are automobiles, photo- graphs, peaches, and geology. At present he is trying to mix farming and teaching. Disastrous to farming.
2S
JAMES CLOVE Provo, Utah
Big, good-natured "Jim." Noted for his copy of the Taft smile. A profound student of agriculture and politics, with a slight sprinkling of poetry. Future title, U. S. Secretary of Agriculture.
WILSON GLAZIER
Provo, Utah
A practical man is our class presi- dent. "Slightly severe and a little aus- tere." "He hears merry tales and smiles not." Dancing he abhors ; emu- lates Miles Standish. Mathematics and Physics are the joy of his soul, his cloud by day and his pillar of fire by night — scrapper, too.
27
JOHN G. GUBLER
Provo, Utah
Features, ruddy, rugged, Teutonic. Magnificent, good humor, even under adverse rulings. Has debated.
"It's easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like a song. But the man worth while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong."
CHARLES HAFEN
Santa Clara, Utah
Born and "come up in Dixie." Known nowhere except in the class room, and at 42 East, Eighth North Street. It is rumored that he is mar- ried. A philosophical mathematician, and a mathematical psychologist. "Re- den ist Silber, schweigen ist golden."
28
HARRISON HURST
Colonia Dublan, Mexico
A San Peter by birth and complex- ion, a Mexican by rearing and speech, and a B. Y. Utonian by education and engagement, "Harris" stands "four square to all the winds that blow." Equally persistent in Love or in Chem- istry, he gives promise of succeeding in both. He is low of speech and quiet in manner, but a maker and lover of a sly joke. As a charter member of the class he has experienced all its downs and ups.
J. M. JENSEN Provo, Utah
Puflfing and panting, he is trying hard to keep up with the educational band wagon. He has for his inspiration, "Never say die till you are dead."
"Gray hairs ?t twenty?
Yes, white, if you please. Where the snow-flakes fall thickest.
There's nothing can freeze."
29
ALFRED KELLEY
Provo, Utah
Poor financier; better pedagogue. "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold ! And to get understanding than silver." Debates but never sings. His growth went into his vocabulary. "To be or not to be ; that is the ques- tion."
RAY OBERHANSLEY
Payson, Utah
"He who makes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before is a benefactor of his race." Mr. Ober- hansley is a firm believer in this senti- ment and expects to become a great benefactor of mankind — by proxy.
30
RAY PARTRIDGE
Provo, Utah
He does not come within the poet's category of those who are fit for trea- sons, stratagems, etc., because they have no music and mathematics in their souls. Motto of his hfe : "Always cross a bridge before you reach it, but never go back and stand on it after you have once passed it."
ERASTUS SNOW ROMNEY
Colonia Dublan, Mexico
An American by birth, a Mexican by residence, a Scandinavian by complex- ion, a philosopher by education.
"Verily, he is a shrewd philosopher. And has read every text and gloss over. Whate'er the crabbed'st author saith He understands b' implicit faith: Whatever sceptic can enquire for; For ev'ry why he has a wherefore."
31
EDWIN H. SMART Provo, Utah
Of a poetic temperament and with agricultural proclivities. Professor Smart has clearly demonstrated that —
"In the mud and scum of things There's always something that hums and
sings." A strong advocate of the "back-to-the-farm"
movement.
ROY A. WELKER Paris, Idaho
Editor and "chief push" of Byutah. Has "a smile that is childlike and bland." A leader of men without ap- pearing so ; rules with a rod of kindness. He's a philosopher and can use English well enough to prove he is, but still he's not well balanced — his mind is bigger than his body.
32
ORA CUNNINGHAM
Pleasant Grove, Utah
Recently a Hoosier, now a welcome Utahn. "So when even was come, the lord of the educational vineyard saith unto his steward 'Call the labourers and give them their hire."
"And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they re- ceived every one a sheepskin."

Pleasing personality, Energetic debater, Ambitious student, Rousing orator, Leading ex-sufTragette.
36
THOMAS C. ROMNEY Colonia Juarez, Mexico

JOHN WITTWER
Santa Clara, Utah
The only non-foreigner in the class, and its president. Not a skylight, but a corner stone. Conscientious, studi- ous, married, and happier than he looks.

.Who 'limy are said 'w'srd-i 'ihiij "toe"
^BlRST, then, by comparison let us distinguish this choice specimen of the schoolman, the Soph. He is not a Freshie for he has so far evolved as to have shed his scales of green, and to have shaken the burrs and hay- seeds from the wooly mat on the convex side of his dome. No longer is it necessary for him to smite his heels hard when walking in order that his presence in College may be known, nor to spend his nickels for opera bars in order to get something he can do. Neither has he yet acquired the fossilizing habits of the Junior. He is yet a social creature and not a bookworm; he can yet recognize a fellow being as such, and can still exchange a pleasant word or a smile for even money. And thank for- tune he is not yet a Senior, with his head in the clouds and his mind "beyond the bounds of time and space," deigning to come to earth occa- sionally for its good, not for his own.
What is a Soph, then? He is a student bearing the same general outline as others, but differing in perfection of detail. He is sufficiently profound, with the childish follies of a Freshie laid aside, and with a keen appreciation of the value of time and opportunity. He studies early and late ; works hard and plays vigorously. But he is yet natural enough that he can be pleasant, and meek enough that he can be taught.
Oh! who wouldn't be one of these healthy, happy, solid, sensible, cheerful, charming Sophs? All the lower classmen are trying to become Sophs, and only his unconquerable zeal and incomparable record which thrust upon him the credits that compel him to enter a higher class could ever make the Soph anything but a Soph.
Other classes may enumerate their achievements in order to attract attention. We purposely refrain. The honors accumulated by our heroic band is far too lengthy for a brief history. Besides, our modesty forbids any such self-praise.

|N October 28th, 1912, a bunch of green, but determined freshmen met at the Brigham Young University and organized the class of 1916. The position of a first year student is not very desirable, his awkward- ness makes him the laughing stock of the older students and the strangeness of his environment fills him with homesickness, but there are some advantages even in being a freshman — he has no "condi- tions" of former years to "work off;" he does not have to worry about his thesis, for he has plenty of time to prepare that later; and he is free to choose his line of study, because he has not as yet closed the gate to amy pursuit by specialization.
And so they met and elected their numerous officers ; all of whom have been forgotten except the president, Mr. Kenneth Parkinson, the two vice presidents. Miss Lottie Gibson and Mr. Chauncey Baird, and the secretary, Mr. Leland Farrer : and despite the handicap they were under, they began at once to make their presence in the institution known. The night of Nov. 5th, they had a grand parade in honor of the fact that a new president had been chosen; then, withdrawing from the noisy streets to the quiet rink, they skated until midnight.
Class meetings of the Freshmen were held twice a month and each meeting was an actual party. Besides these regular events they found time to give, on November 20th, a "Japanese progression" party in which Mr. Stewart Horsely, Miss Vivian Parkinson, Miss Lottie Gibson, and Miss Ethel Taylor were the hosts: and, that those who could not go home for the Thanksgiving recess might find entertainment, another party was given on November 29th, at the skating rink.
Not realizing what their joy would cost, for they were unexperienced in the ways of college life, they spent the first semester in a "real jolly good time" and, when the "exams" were over, they saw that they were growing more like the other students — they now had some "conditions" to remove. Alarmed at this new phenomena, they called a meeting, dismissed their old officers and elected a more conservative set. The new executive consisted of Mr. O. F. Call, Miss Marian Andelin, and Dr. Dean Clark, the old secretary Mr. Farrer being retained.
The class has entertained once since this terrible discovery, that was at the grand ball given in the Mozart on February 5th. The party was open to the general student body and has been pronounced "the big dance of the season."
And this is the history of the Freshmen class, but before closing it should be mentioned that there are three special honors held by the 1916's: the winning of the cross country race on November 27th. by Mr. Wayne Hales; the success of Mr. John W. Carter in the Christmas prize contest; and the defeat of all the other class teams in basket ball by the first year boys. They edso furnished one man, Mr. Rollen Tietjen, for the inter-collegiate debating teams.

OW timid, shrinking, and fearful we felt as yearlings when our friends the "sophs." "juns." and "sens," hooted us for being under the unlucky graduating star of '13. But our fears were foolish, and their jeers proved no wiser.
"Tonight at 4 o'clock in 24 H. the First Years will hold their first meeting for the purpose of organization," methodically announced a professor from the rostrum early in the school year of 1909. Such the humble announcement of the birth of an organization containing members destined to achieve school, state, and world distinction.
With this first announcement new forces began to operate, and four days later, October 8th, these activities crystalized into a com- plete class organization, launched for a four year's voyage of threat- ened "hard luck."
Did this unlucky class flounder or founder? Let us see. Founder's Day came. The coach urged us to enter some of our men, and try at least for fourth place. The events were "pulled off." The official announcer read the final scores and lo ! two of those "un- luckies," Baird and Workman, took first places, respectively, in the 100 yard dash and the shot put.
At once the entire class came to a realization of its capabilities, and jumped enthusiastically into all school activities. No more did the mill stone, "13 and hard luck," pull us down to the bottom of student life.
A year later found us as much alive as ever. We added a new officer to our organization who made us drive the "hoodoo" entirely away from the name "thir- teen" by keeping us yelling "Reih, Rah, Rah ; Rah, Rah, Rah ; Rah, Rah, Rah — 13's, 13's, 13's." And soon we had occasion to keep this yell ringing for one whole half day. It was at the annual spring class meet of 1911, where we captured the coveted "First Place" with a record of 32 points.
"Say, we'll have to subdue those 13's or they will take everything," remarked one of the wise "12's." And he guessed it just right. We took all track meets, and the baseball and basketball events the next year. That was when we were three-year-olds.
In the summer following, July, 1912, came the glad news from Stockholm that Alma Richards, our "13-star" athlete had won the World's Championship high jump. Forthwith we hastily procured an iron band to clamp around the head of that mighty 13 class. "Hard," did you other fellows say?
As there was nothing higher than World's Championships for our athletes to win, our class turned, during its last year, from the athletic field to the intel- lectual. Here, too, our success was phenomenal. Teachers and students alike admired our spirit and success.
Nor at any time have we lost sight of our class motto, "Aim High, Work Hard, Be Noble." Growing from a bashful, awkward bunch of youngsters to our present more desirable position, we have undergone many changes and endured some hardships. But our experiences were enjoyable as well as profitable. As High School students we must say good-bye. We recall the many experiences of our school life with fond recollections, and feign would live over again those joyous times.
