SPIKE'S COVER LIFE at Weber High is what our book should portray. The LIFE of the world is the material of LIFE magazine. The school LIFE for 1950-51 at Weber is the material for your yearbook. Believing that our Golden Spike must do for its readers what the LIFE magazine does for its customers, we are this year borrowing the cover arrangement and general appearance of this well known magazine for our yearbook. We did not choose our theme merely to imitate LIFE magazine. We chose it because we felt that the purpose of the yearbook was to make a record of the school LIFE for the year. Thus, we have found a ann deal of significance in the word "LIFE itselt. Our cover, was designed especially for us Our Golden Spike, though patterned after the familiar LIFE magazine on the newsstand, is more intimately our own. Recorded on its pages is your school LIFE as you lived it through the year.

However, in order to conform with U.S. trademark and copyright regulations, we must ask the staff to observe the following modifications: 1. The word LIFE must not appear in a box, regardless of color, either on the cover or elsewhere in the annual. 2. The band at the bottom of LIFE's cover format must not have a jag, but should be straight all across. 3. It should be stated on the cover that the annual is published by Weber High School. h. Our copyrighted subtitles, such as "Speaking of Pictures, LIFE's Reports, LIFE Goes to ...," or "Visits ...," should be changed enough so they are not identified too closely with LIFE Magazine.

You will find many departments the same as those in the magazine, such as ''The picture of the year’ and ‘'Letters to the Editors'' (which we re-phrased).
