THE GOLDEM SPIKE GOLDEN SPIKE “School days—School days’”—the spirit and life we never forget, which we keep deep in our hearts as we leave our associations here for new ones. We have the spirit and life of the school of olden days but in a new and more inspiring form. We live in a different age—one of science, steel and speed. This we have attempted to portray in our theme by comparing student life of old with the inspired form of the new. “School days”—when Our dearest memories we start to carve our lives for the future. are of our first achievements, misfortunes, Joys, sorrows and acquaintances, many of whom will remain true friends. These are memories we cherish—for from these first experiences we are able to develop more vividly our life sculpture. To preserve these memories is the purpose of this book. With this as our aim we hope the Golden Spike, combining all that we hold so dear, wiil serve its purpose to you. Our todays and yesterdays are the foundation for our tomorrows. We have the old and the new to help us advance to an undaunted and glorious future. Besides showing a new and modern school life we wanted to produce a more up-to-date yearbook with more modern trends and smart arrangements. As a result, the editors, two assistants and Mr. Westergard attended the journalists’ convention at B. Y. U. where the idea for more color, more pictures, and the new plastic binding originated. There has been very much hard werk given in soliciting ads for our book, so that we might have these new trends. This year’s staff has been especially active and cooperative. The editors desired that meetings be held frequently and that in addition to functioning as a stafl, the group enjoy social associations. This wish was achieved with pleasant results. To further promote a feeling of unity and friendship in the group a staff pin was selected and purchased by the members. It is with joy and regret that we see our job nearing completion. It has been a long year’s work, but during this period much has been pleasure mixed with work. To our many helpers we owe a great deal—without their help, advice and cooperation, much that had been conceived would never have been achieved. We especially owe more than few will realize or appreciate to Raymond Owen whose work in securing a majority of the advertisements made possible an enlarged book and whose photography makes this a thoroughly illustrated memory book containing pictures of almost every student and every activity. The staff has made it possible for us to finish what we hope will be a more outstanding yearbook. To Mr. Westergard, all members of both staffs, technical helpers, and the student body at large for its support, the Golden Spike says: “Many Thanks.” : PHYLLIS —Co-EpD1Tors— RIGHARDSON —_— CLELLES SPFONE
